Chapter 55: A Fight After sex
In front of an opening to a cave, two humans could be seen lying down, the female one resting on the chest of the male one. Their nudity, coupled with how their bodies were glistening with sweat, was great evidence that they had been intimate with each other just seconds ago.
However, instead of a smile on their faces, there was something else.
A frown on the guy’s face, a somber look of anticipation on the girl’s one.
Things didn’t look good, at all.
’The God of Desires what?’
Edmund couldn’t believe what he just heard. Did she really say that she wanted him to give her the Dreadful Dagger? No way! Maybe his ears were deceiving him. Whatever it was, he had to refuse right away.
"You know that’s impossible, right?"
He found himself saying these words.
Tsundria gave him a loli look.
"Please!"
Though Edmund wanted to tame her, giving her the sword was never going to be an option. She could die or refuse to give him her shard and he would still become who he wanted to become. However, without the sword, he didn’t know if he could even come closer to his goals.
What was she even going to use it for? Increase her power?
’Damn! I should have thought about it. I shouldn’t have said that I have it. I’m...’
The Goddess of Beauty interrupted his thoughts.
"Tough guy, what are you doing blaming yourself? You didn’t know that she would be greedy. Think of a way to change her mind instead."
Edmund could only thank the goddess for such advice. He wasn’t the one to blame. Maybe this was an eye opener and he would have to consider who he would be with before saying that he had the sword, but now that he had already said it, he has to think of a way to change her mind.
"What do you want it for?"
Perhaps she wanted to stare at it for a little and give it back to him... or maybe she had never seen it before and wanted to see it with her eyes. Why was he jumping to conclusions that she wanted to take it forever?
"Didn’t I tell you that a bitch called Skylark wants to kill me?"
Now, Edmund could understand why. She wanted the sword so she could... protect herself from Skylark?
"I want to kill her," Tsundria added. "Only the sword can make it easy for me."
’So, it’s not protecting herself from her... but killing her? Why?’
"To kill her?"
"Yeah! She’s been humiliating me for centuries. This is the time she pays for it."
"Can you go deeper? Why has she been humiliating you?"
Before answering, Tsundria kissed Edmund on the lips and rose to her feet. Then, walking towards where she had thrown her outfit, she said, "I was trying to kill her. Because she’s stronger than me, she defeated me and told me to fuck off. Twice!" she said this raising her hand to show two fingers.
Tsundria would have told him about her twin sister. That she wanted revenge. However, after Skylark humiliated her, the reasons to kill her doubled, the main reason being that of humiliation. That’s why she didn’t bring her twin sister’s death into this.
On the other hand, normally, Edmund’s little brother would have woken up at the sight of her big ass that was bouncing here and there as she made a cat walk toward her dress, but the situation didn’t allow it.
His mind was still trying to figure out where this conversation was heading. He had no time for such things.
"So, are you telling me you were the one who wanted to kill her? That she defeated you and spared your life and you still want to kill her?"
Tsundria bent downward to pick her blue one-piece. Edmund gulped at the full view of her pussy but that was it. He still needed to solve this puzzle.
"Don’t get it twisted!" Tsundria said, grabbing her blue one-piece. "The bitch had killed my beloved twin sister and humiliated me on top of that. I want to kill her."
After these words, she proceeded to wear her blue outfit.
Seeing this, Edmund could tell that getting her to put it off again would be difficult. His chances of eating her virgin pussy were over... for now. The reason he lifted himself off the ground, too, summoning his armor back.
While the Obsidian Veil was wrapping itself around him, he said, "But you said she spared your life twice, right? It’s clear that she wants to make peace with you. She wants the conflict to end."
Tsundria let out a chuckle.
"That’s not why she spared my life. She told me that her hands are too holy to kill a stupid person like me. That she will send someone to kill me instead. Why do you think I was wary of you in the beginning?"
Now, Edmund didn’t know what to say. Because, if what she said was true, it really was so humiliating. Whoever was Skylark deserved to pay for what she did. But then, she also was a Venomous Beauty. Edmund needed her, too.
’I have to choose!’
"Be my wife, I’ll help you teach her a lesson," he said, taking a step toward Tsundria and spreading his arms for a hug.
"Peony will help us, too," he added before Tsundria could say anything. He wanted to show her they were capable of doing so without necessarily giving her the sword.
"No!"
"No? Come on! All you want is to teach Skylark a lesson, right? Why not join forces with me?"
"It’s my war. I have to fight it and finish it alone. That’s when I’ll feel happy."
She extended her hand.
"So, give me the sword and it will be over!"
"That’s not gonna happen," Edmund replied, drawing his arms back. "The sword means a lot in my mission. I can not give it to anyone. Besides that, Skylark is also a Venomous Beauty. I need her alive, not dead."
Tsundria had been maintaining a somber expression throughout their quarrel, but now, after hearing his words, she seemed pissed off.
"What do you mean you need her alive?"
"I don’t need Venomous Beauties only for their shards," he explained. He knew he couldn’t defeat the Goddess of Misery only by himself. It was impossible to restore all the powers God of Desires had and, even if he could do so, the God of Desires had failed to kill her. Having the beauties beside him was the only hidden card he would use to change the status quo.
"I want them beside me," he continued. "I want to create an army out of them. To help them enjoy sex again like you did minutes ago. That’s it."
"That means you are choosing Skylark over me, right?"
What was Edmund supposed to say? He had been begging her and she refused to listen to him. Maybe being harsh on her would help knock off her stubbornness.
"At least Skylark has some reasoning within her. She knows that killing you is not the right solution to your conflict."
Tsundria’s reaction after Edmund said these words was a great sign that he had made a huge mistake.
A mist of white sparks enveloped her hands and her green eyes started to glow. She was getting ready for a fight. For a fight after sex. It was so scary.
’How unexpected!’
Edmund didn’t wait for whatever she was summoning to fully appear into her hands. He, too, summoned his beautiful jian sword, the Slice of Heaven. If this was going to be a battle, he had to be well equipped. Even if it meant dying, he was not going to die like a coward.
"I’m sorry that we have to do it the hard way!" she said and drew her bow.
