Chapter 74
Kali's pov
After I found out what Taste of Origins does, I did the same to Nina and gained the same Knowledge as what I gained from Draka.
I also tried Feeling of Primality, but after touching everything in the cave, I got no results, so I think it needs to be something truly old, or as the Skill says: ancient.
But I was still confused about [Primal Aspect] and even asking the System does not help since it just tells me that it cannot answer that. At least, I kept my instincts from [Primal Instinct], and it has even become clearer and better overall.
My instinct was always something that I found useful, and I even enjoyed them since they make me feel more confident. But that is not the only thing that stayed and became better. My Willpower increase of 10% that I gained from [Primal Instinct] has also increased to 20%, which makes my Willpower even more powerful.
The biggest difference is my Asera form and its effects. The control I have over my Asera form is much better, and I can actually control it now, meaning I don't have to be in my Human form anymore and can enjoy being in this form now.
My Human form does not feel restrictive, but it is in subtle ways. It is not my own form anymore since I am an Asera now, and now that I have control I can really enjoy my Asera form again without any problems, and I can already feel the difference.
My body feels more comforting, while my Willpower feels heavier and more powerful, by how much, I don't know, but it is no small amount.
Even the extra weight is not a problem, like I was born like this, but I still needed to change my armor since my Asera form is bigger in certain areas. Changing my armor was easy since it only covers my breasts and legs, so I just made the armor slightly wider to fit my bigger breasts and my fuller butt.
'Nice, firm but filled out.' I thought when I slapped my ass and felt its firmness. I liked my firm ass, so seeing it become bigger made me afraid that it lost its firmness, but luckily it did not.
After going over the changes again, I looked over at,'Annika's Evolution Cocoon, let's call it that.' I decided since we all got one, but I don't really know if it has a name, and Evolution Cocoon sounds good.
It is still the same golden color, and my Sight of the Primal tells me that it is filled with Vitality and something else. Both energies are being infused into Annika.
I can see Annika's body,'That will be a big surprise for Nina.' I thought with humor.
While I was looking at Annika, Draka woke up so I walked towards her and motioned for her to be quiet, but it was unnecessary since Draka is kind enough to not wake Nina on her own.
Draka looked around and saw the amount of blood and cum that was on her body with disgust. Seeing her expression, I already know where she was going towards, so I put my armor inside my [Space Pocket], and got in the bath before Draka did.
"So, how is [Smithing] going for you?" I asked her when she joined me in the bath. I never had the chance to ask her how that is going since she was busy last time, and I am curious how far she is in it and if she enjoys doing it.
"Good, it is relaxing." She answered with a slight smile. Draka dumped her head in the water too and the filth on her wasted away like magic, then she raised her head from the water, spread her arms on the bath edge and let out a sigh out of comfort.
"I can understand that, I feel the same when I do [Leatherworking] and [Bowyer]." I told her with a smile while also looking at Draka with interest. Draka is a beautiful woman, and seeing her let her guard down like this makes it even more noticeable.
"How far have you taken the Skill? I noticed that you are more focused on the Skill, and from my understanding, you and Annika decided to each choose a smithing specialty?" I asked her further since I hope she already has something she liked.
When I used Taste of Origins on her, I noticed that she has not chosen a second Class yet, so I think she will use it for Artisan, but I think she needs to have an Artisan Skill. [Smithing] is not one yet, but it is a crafting Skill that will turn into an Artisan Skill, but which one depends on her choice and what she did with [Smithing].
"Yes, that is the plan, but Annika has not been smithing a lot so she does not know what she wants to do yet, so I will wait for her." Draka told me, and her words made me frown.
"What if Annika chooses the specialty that you want to do?" I asked her, since from her words before it sounds like she wants Annika to choose first, and she will choose another one then, even if Annika chooses the one she wanted to do.
"Then she can have that, and I take another one." Draka told me, and from her tone it sounds like an obvious thing which made me frown again.
"What do you like when [Smithing]?" I asked Draka, hoping to get her to admit she liked something and then focus on that since it does not sound good for her to just follow Annika's will. I know that Annika would not like that either.
"Weapon smithing is the most fun." Draka answered almost immediately, obviously really liking that aspect of [Smithing].
"Then focus on that and specialize in that when you get it to a high enough level." I told her, and my words made Draka frown this time.
"But what if Annika likes it too?" She asked me. The way she asked me made me a little sad since it says a lot of her life before I met her. That she even needs to ask says that she is not used to doing what she wants for herself, something I noticed before.
Going through my memories and interactions with Draka, I noticed a trend. She follows orders and does not really speak up unless asked directly. She always thinks of other people before herself, and her being concerned about choosing a specialty for [Smithing] tells that she would specialize in something she does not enjoy if Annika wants it.
'I will let Annika talk with her.' I decided after thinking about it for a while. My relationship with Draka is more sexual, and from what I have seen and heard from Nina, tells me that Annika is more on friendly terms with her than either of us. The choice of Specialty also affects her so she should be able to convince Draka better too.
"You should talk with her about it, but I think you should choose which you enjoy doing." I advised at the end, and when I saw Draka nob at that in agreement, I felt a little better, but I know that Annika still needs to convince her.
We talked some more about things happening in our new home and the Evolution of Annika.
After we talked for a little, I heard Nina wake up and get off the bed to join us in the bath.
"Hello, sleeping beauty." I said to her with a smile, which she returned. Sliding in the warm water, she sat down next to Draka and when she finally sat down with only her head above water, she released a soft moan from feeling the water wash her clean, just like we all did. The water connected to the [Heat Stone] is really nice to bathe in.
"I can see that you can be in your Asera form without causing us to become your sex pets." Nina noticed when she saw me in my Asera form, and her words made me smile, specifically the 'sex pets' part.
"You are already my sex pet." I told Nina with a lustful look which made her smile and I also saw her eyes slightly dilate in lust.
"But, I am happy to see you awake since I want to talk to you about the Brola Bear." I said, remembering that I have not done so yet since I got distracted.
After I told Draka and Nina about what happened with the Brola Bear, Nina suggested to me to do it again, and hopefully I would be able to strengthen the Brola Bear enough for it to free itself, while also weakening the {Corrupted}.
"I was already planning on going back to kill them slowly, but I will see." I told them while we exited the bath, and we all went our own way.
Nina is using the pen that I saw yesterday to learn enchanting, and Draka is going out hunting some {Corrupted} since she wants to fight and get some materials using LP points.
When I left the cave, I looked at my own LP points since I forgot that it was there until Draka mentioned it.
955 LP points, and it even told me what I did to gain it. 600 for killing 6 Tier-2 {Corrupted}, and 200 for killing the Ogre which is double the normal Tier-2. The rest I gained from purifying the Tier-3 Brola Bear, which in total made 955 LP.
'Now, let's see what is in the Bounty Store.' I thought and opened the store.
There were too many for me to look over so I decided to look for special items, specifically something that can help me with poisons since I have a literal poisonous tongue and I should be able to use it better.
Good thing that the search system is very intuitive, and I can just mentally explain what I want, and it gave me a list filled with thousands of things, which became 112 when I explained that it is for my tongue.
Looking over the list, I found something. It is not something simple like a Skill book that would be in Isekai stories, but a bestiary.
The bestiary was 800 LP and I bought it and read the story of the Lucifade, and several more.
This bestiary explains of a humanoid beast that are extremely dangerous hunters. They would release a pheromone that would put anyone smelling it into a lustful state and when looking at the beast known as Lucifade, they would look like their lovers or someone that they find irresistible. The victims would walk right up to the Lucifade and receive a kiss from the beast. The kiss is also known as the Kiss of Bliss, since it kills the victim but before that, they will experience true bliss.
It even explains that the Lucifade is a Tier-5 Beast on the same level as gods, but they are also very territorial and never leave it.
This is just one of the beasts inside the bestiary, and all the beasts inside the book have something in common. All of them are poisonous beasts that use their poison in numerous ways.
With my Myriad Poisons of my [Myriad Forms], I can copy those poisons when I find them and use them against my enemies, but what also made me happy is the ways these beasts would use their poisons. They would spew it, blow it, use it on their claws, make mist out of it, and even do something like the Kiss of Bliss.
'If I can learn something from them, it would help a lot.' I thought, feeling happy with my purchase since it gave me a lot of possible ideas.
