Chapter 3 – Amazons, Sunburst, Impending Destruction

In the Market Area of Orario, Bell was smiling brightly as he spent the day with Aisha, Samira, Matora, Ikumi, and Chacha. The five Amazons were seemingly on a high after Bell’s Abjuration Magic had freed Aisha from Ishtar’s Charm. Bell had been reaping the benefits of their affection for him as he spent the day with them. Amazons were, more often than not, very forward in their affections when it came to the men they found worthy of them. Bell was holding hands, being pressed against by all of their amazing bodies, and Aisha especially was making sure his hands got to touch her as much as possible.

“There you are you hussies!” Tione loudly declared as she and Tiona marched up to the group. Tione was clearly annoyed if the slight twitch of her right eye was any indication. “Trying to get the jump on us by keeping Bell all to yourselves!”

“Hi Bell!” Tiona beamed at Bell; her smile bright like the sun.

“Eh? We just happened to run into him!” Matora stood up to Tione, even though Tione was three Levels higher.

Chacha giggled at the look on Tione’s face. “You’re so annoyed, but we didn’t even do anything.”

Ikumi agreed with Chacha, looking at Tione. “We didn’t plan anything. Bell found us while we were shopping.”

“Good afternoon, Tiona.” Bell returned the greeting with a smile of his own. “Good afternoon, Tione.” He saw the way Tione lost some of her tension as the older Hyrute Sister smiled back at him.

“If you’re so bothered by it, do something about it.” Samira had a challenging smirk on her lips. Bell found the look rather attractive even as he warily eyed the situation.

“You think I won’t?” Tione eyed the other Amazon with a threatening glare.

Tiona simply walked past the stare down and promptly hugged Bell with a cute laugh.

Bell chuckled in response and returned her hug warmly, even kissing the top of her head, much to Tiona’s joy.

“Hah!” Aisha burst into laughter at Tiona’s simple solution to the ‘problem’ at hand. “Girl knows what she wants.”

Tione could only sigh at her sister, but the tension that had been building was thoroughly broken now. Without a care, she stepped forward and was pulled gently into Bell’s arms. She sighed happily, rested her head on his shoulder and just enjoyed being held by Bell for a long moment.

“So, no fight then?” Matora looked a little put out. Sure, logically she knew that neither she nor Samira stood a chance against Tione. But she was an Amazon and they were all born and bred to fight! She and Samira were similar in their enjoyment of a good brawl.

“She doesn’t seem to be in the mood anymore.” Ikumi rolled her green eyes at Matora’s fight-happy nature.

“Let’s just add them to our group and enjoy the rest of the day.” Chacha suggested with a bright grin. “We all want the same thing, after all.” She looked at Bell and grinned predatorily.

Bell was all for keeping a fight from breaking out, so he smiled at Tione and Tiona. “Would you two like to join us? We were about to decide on lunch.”

“Sure!” Tiona agreed instantly. She didn’t sweat the small stuff, preferring to keep a more relaxed attitude.

“I’d like that, Bell.” Tione gave him a cute smile, taking his right hand for herself.

Ikumi took Bell’s left hand, making Aisha narrow her eyes at the younger Amazon woman for just a second. “I know a place where we can get enough for all of us.” She shot Bell a sultry grin as she led the way.

-Hostess of Fertility-

Ikumi led the group to a tavern that appeared rather popular, given the number of customers it had for lunch. A Cat Girl waitress approached with a smile and showed their group to a large table in the corner of the establishment. They were left with menus and their drink orders were taken.

Bell was looking over his menu when he felt someone’s bare foot trailing up his leg. Given that all of the Amazon’s were barefoot, that didn’t really narrow it down much. He glanced over the top of his menu, only to see Chacha giving him a teasing grin, her eyes half-lidded. The bustiest Amazon was clearly in the mood to play around as her foot trailed further up Bell’s leg and then moved along his thigh.

Not wanting to ‘lose’, Bell slipped one of his hands under the table and gently took hold of Chacha’s foot. He caught her surprised eyes with his rubellite gaze and gave her a small smirk. Then he began to run his fingers over her foot lightly, gently caressing her skin.

“Mm.” Chacha bit her lip lightly as Bell teased her foot, she hid her face behind her menu as the caresses continued. ‘Ooh~ He’s good at this…’ She nearly moaned to herself as Bell’s fingers gently caressed her skin, even trailing up her leg a bit to brush over her shin and stroke her calf.

Their little game came to an end when the Cat Girl waitress returned to take everyone’s orders. From there, conversation started up and Bell was happy to see that Tione and Tiona were able to converse with their fellow Amazons easily. Being from different Familia could sometimes make things complicated, but after a short time, Tiona was a bubbly and warm talker that quickly roped most of the table into conversation. Chacha quickly got along with Tiona, both girls were the carefree type and quickly bonded over it.

“Seriously though…” Tiona eyed Chacha’s massive rack. “I thought Tione was a boob hog, but you take the cake, Chacha!”

“Hey!” Tione gently swatted her sister for the name-calling. “You know that’s not how it works.”

“Ehehehe!” Chacha proudly thrust her chest out, her girls bouncing from the sudden movement. “I’m the biggest that I know of!” Then she pointed at Ikumi across the table who was sitting next to Bell. “Ikumi is next biggest! Her’s are only a little smaller than mine!”

Ikumi rolled her eyes and lightly thrust her own chest out to make her tits bounce. “Yeah, yeah, we all know that you’re the biggest, Chacha.” She smirked a little when she saw Bell’s eyes following the bounce of her boobs. “Matora is the next largest.”

“Not a big deal to me.” Matora waved it off, taking a pull from her drink with a grin. The fact that she pushed her chest forward and made her top strain for Bell’s eyes wasn’t missed by anyone.

Samira gave a little smirk to the three bustiest women at the table. “You’ve got the bodies, but not the experience.” All three of the younger women shot looks at Samira for her words. “Don’t look at me like that. It was your choice to not do any of the brothel work.”

“She’s right.” Aisha sipped her drink with a knowing grin. “You three had other interests, which is perfectly fine, but that puts you at a bit of a disadvantage when it comes to experience with a man.”

Matora scoffed at Aisha’s words. “Like I’d want some random guy pawing at me.” She looked between Samira and Aisha. “I don’t know how you two put up with it.”

“Practice and being picky.” Samira answered with a laugh. “Aisha and I could walk the streets of the Entertainment District every night and only find a single suitable partner every other week or so.”

“As if we ever had time to do that.” Aisha said with a small scoff of her own. “I’m the de facto Vice-Captain in all but Title, since Tammuz never leaves Ishtar’s side. We all know Phryne doesn’t do any of the duties that a Captain should.”

Samira downed her drink with a scowl. “Don’t remind me. A bunch of Phryne’s work gets dumped on me because she’s too lazy to do it.” She set her cup down with a huff. “I’ve been keeping up with her work so much that I barely have time to go to the Dungeon to vent off my stress!” Samira cracked the knuckles of her left hand just by clenching it into a fist.

“The more I hear about your Familia, the more it sounds like a shitshow.” Tione remarked as she looked between the Ishtar Familia Amazons. “Me and Tiona are Executives in our Familia, but we have our duties and our higher-ups have theirs. Everyone does their own work and we all work together so that the Familia operates smoothly.”

“Yep!” Tiona nodded with a grin. “You guys don’t seem to have the same thing going on in your Familia.” Her grin turned into a small frown.

Aisha sighed. “I wish.” She tipped back her drink this time, taking a long pull.

Bell clenched his fist beneath the table as he heard more about how Aisha and Samira were treated in their Familia. He wished that they could just leave the Ishtar Familia behind, but the girls had made it painfully obvious that just leaving wasn’t an option. A part of Bell wished that he was strong enough to just take them away from that place, but he was still just Level 1. He couldn’t take on a Familia the size and strength of Ishtar’s alone.

Their food arrived, brought by their Cat Girl waitress and a human waitress as well. Everyone began to eat and Bell was impressed by the flavors.

“Not bad, but I bet I could cook this steak better.” Ikumi hummed thoughtfully after swallowing her food.

“I’ll taste test!” Chacha volunteered immediately with a bright smile. “Ikumi’s a great cook!” She beamed at her friend and shot a look at Bell.

Bell grinned at Ikumi. “I’d love to try your cooking sometime, Ikumi.”

“S-Sure, any time, Bell.” Ikumi smiled at him, the faintest hint of pink on her cheeks.

When all of the food was finished off, everyone left the Valis to pay for their meal on the table and the group headed out.

Bell was the one in the lead this time, guiding the women towards his Familia’s Home so that they could all meet Bastet and talk to her about their feelings.

-Bubastis-

“Goddess, I’m home!” Bell called out as he opened the front door.

There was the sound of footsteps rapidly approaching before Bastet came into the entryway and nearly leapt at Bell.

“Bell!” Bastet was easily caught in Bell’s arms. The two shared a kiss before Bastet was gently set back on her feet. “I see you brought company.” Her golden, cat-like eyes looked over the group of Amazons. With a cheshire grin, the Goddess spoke again. “Alright, after we handle all of your Conversions to my Familia, you can pick out which rooms you want upstairs.”

“Uh, no, wait…” Tione nearly sputtered at Bastet’s words.

“We’re not here to convert though.” Tiona just shook her head once with a little smile on her lips.

“I wish.” All five of the Ishtar Familia members said at the same time.

Bastet giggled at their reactions but also made a mental note of the responses of Aisha, Chacha, Ikumi, Matora, and Samira. She wouldn’t mind welcoming them into her Familia if she could. It would certainly be quite the boon for them.

“Goddess.” Bell gently squeezed Bastet into a hug. “I brought them because I knew you’d want to talk to them.”

“Yes, I did.” Bastet nodded and looked at the seven Amazons. “I am the Goddess, Bastet. Welcome to my home, please come inside and relax.” She welcomed them in properly and the group quickly settled into the large living room of the home. “I’m afraid I only know your names through hearing them via Bell’s Excelia.”

Knowing a request to introduce themselves when they heard it, the women began to make proper introductions.

“My name is Aisha Belka, Lady Bastet.” Aisha went first and gave a short bow to the Goddess.

Samira followed after Aisha. “Samira Nabi, Goddess.”

“Matora Mikogami.” Matora was a little less formal in her introduction.

Ikumi gave the best bow she could while sitting down. “Ikumi Mito, Goddess Bastet.”

“I’m Chacha Akaza, Goddess!” Chacha smiled brightly at Bastet.

“Tione Hyrute, Lady Bastet.” Tione introduced herself with a short bow.

“Tiona Hyrute!” Tiona was casual as normal as she smiled at the Cat Goddess.

Bastet smiled back at all of them. “Pleased to meet all of you.” Her golden eyes sharpened noticeably. “Now… I understand that all of you have feelings for my Bell?” She leaned into Bell’s side without breaking eye contact with the other women.

“Goddess…” Bell looked at her and gave her a warm hug. “No one’s trying to take me away.” Bastet only snuggled into him more with a pleased little grin on her face.

“I know~” Bastet had her cheshire grin back as she could see the tension release from the women in front of her. It was just a harmless little prank for her to enjoy this once. “So, let’s talk.”

The conversation went on for a while. The women all admitted to having feelings for Bell, though Matora still mentioned that he’d have to earn it from her. Bell had grinned at Matora’s challenging smirk and promised her that he would ‘earn it’ once he was stronger.

‘Yet I’m still not sure how we ended up here.’ Bell thought to himself as he and the women had moved over to a pile of plush pillows that Bastet had brought over from Hathor’s place. The other Goddess knowing of Bastet’s fondness for lazing about when she could, had gifted the large pillows to the Cat Goddess since she had far too many at her own home.

“Bell~” Chacha moaned as his hands sank into her bare tits. “Mmm, more~”

Bell was surrounded by topless women as he massaged and played with Chacha’s massive boobs. His fingers sank into the softness and he couldn’t help but to continue to grope and play with them.

Hot fingers trailed over Bell’s bare chest as well from the other women. His shirt had been the first to go as Bastet had pulled it off of him earlier. Chacha and Tiona had quickly pulled their tops off right after. Neither Amazon was body shy in the slightest and Chacha actively liked showing off her body.

Aisha’s hand slid down from his chest to trail over his developing abs. “You like that~?” She purred into Bell’s ear, licking his earlobe a second later. Her topless form was pressed into Bell’s side, the heat of their skin together making her instincts burn.

“You can tell he does.” Tiona giggled before letting out a cute gasp and then a low moan. Bell had raised his head up a bit to take her nipple into his mouth since she was leaning over him. Her handfuls might’ve been the smallest pair of tits among the women, but Bell proved that he loved them just as much as the others. “Mmm~” Tiona leaned closer to Bell’s mouth with an eager coo.

“Do you like breasts that much, Bell?” Tione questioned, as she moved one of his hands from Chacha’s rack to hers. “I wonder… Do you have a preference?” She asked with a naughty grin on her lips.

Ikumi pushed Chacha to the side a bit, taking her place straddling Bell. “Don’t hog Bell.”

“Come on, Ikumi~ Just a bit longer?” Chacha nearly pouted as Ikumi let out a breathy moan as Bell’s free hand gently brushed over her tits and then began to play with her left breast, his fingers softly squeezing it first before his index finger found her stiff nipple and began to tease it.

“No…” Ikumi exhaled hotly as she gently moved her hips against Bell’s. Her instinctive desires cursed the clothing that was still separating them.

Samira pressed herself against Chacha’s back and her hands quickly took hold of the younger woman’s tits, beginning to grope and bounce them in her hands. “I’ll play with your tits if that’s what you want, Chacha.”

“Mm, Samira, wait…” Chacha mewled out as the other woman focused on teasing her sensitive nipples.

Tiona gasped as she was moved away from Bell’s mouth by Matora. The other Amazon quick to cover Bell’s face with her large tits.

“Suck them, Bell~” Matora moaned, having been trying to hold back a bit, but the scene in front of her had just been too hot for her to restrain herself. “Aaahhh~” She cried out in pleasure as Bell’s tongue circled one of her nipples before his mouth eagerly sucked on it.

“Such eager women you are.” Bastet teased the Amazons as she wrapped her arms around Tiona from behind and nuzzled her neck, her fingers trailing up Tiona’s trim tummy before teasing her breasts. “I believe we’ll make a very good family in the future.”

“Yes~” The women all said at the same time in various states of pleasure as they surrounded Bell.

The fire in the Amazons’ blood burned hot and strong, but they’d all made a promise not to go all the way this time. Bastet wanted time to see if she couldn’t at least get the Ishtar Familia women into her Familia through conversion before they took the chance that naturally came with sex.

‘I’m definitely going to have to ‘take care’ of Bell tonight~’ Bastet giggled to herself as she lightly groped Tiona’s handfuls. She could see how worked up Bell was getting from all of this stimulation already. ‘It’s gonna be a good night…’

‘Amazon dates are the best!’ Bell cheered in his mind as his hand was moved to play with Samira’s tits next while Aisha’s hand teasingly slipped into the waistband of his pants. Ikumi’s soft tit in his other hand and Matora’s large breasts covering his face were sensations that he wanted to experience over and over again. He raised his hips ups to push against Ikumi’s grinding hips and the blonde Amazon let out a throaty moan of bliss. His hands were quickly guided to the soaked cores of Samira and Aisha and he put his practice with Bastet to good use. The frenetic movement of the four of them instantly got the attention of the others as the next part of their date began.

It was dark out when seven happy Amazons left Bubastis to head back to their own homes for the night.

Bell was still lying amongst the large pile of plush pillows, his body burning up and various hickeys were left across his skin from the girls ‘marking their claim’ as they’d jokingly laughed.

“Nya?” Bastet stood over Bell with a teasing grin on her lips. “Are you all worn out for the night, Bell?”

Bell’s answer was to nearly shoot to his feet before sweeping Bastet off her feet and throwing her gently over his shoulder. He was heading for the master bedroom quickly, taking the stairs two at a time.

“Naughty boy!” Bastet giggled before Bell swatted her bottom. “Nya!” She jerked and her tail swayed about. “Bell~”

The bedroom door closed as Bell kicked it shut and quickly laid Bastet on the bed before capturing her lips.

The night was just beginning for the lovers.

-Dungeon ~ Seventh Floor-

“Sunburst!” Bell called forth his new Magic, aiming his palm towards a Frog Shooter. Golden light, reminiscent of the sun with a corona around it, appeared in his hand before rocketing towards the Frog Monster.

“Gerooo!” The Frog Shooter cried out before it was consumed in the burning light.

When the light faded, all that was left was a burnt carcass.

“This is so awesome!” Bell had a ‘kid’ moment as he nearly cheered for his new Magic again. An adult he may be, but what young boy DIDN’T want to blast Monsters with Magic while growing up?

He took out his knife and hacked the Frog Shooter open, removing its Magic Stone with more ease nowadays. The benefits of getting a lot of practice as he repeatedly tried to hunt more Monsters each day he went into the Dungeon.

“That makes sixty-two, so far, today!” Bell smiled at his progress and placed the small Magic Stone into his pack.

-Later-

“Hah!” Bell swung his Khopesh Treasure Sword and cut off the head of one Killer Ant. He pivoted on his heel to avoid the strike of a second Ant and hacked it down with a powerful swing.

“Skree!”

“Skreee!”

More Killer Ants were coming but Bell raised his hand before him. “Sunburst!” The golden light blasted form his hand and engulfed the Monsters before they could react. The Killer Ants thrashed in the burning light for a few seconds before collapsing to the ground.

A white blur shot at Bell from the side.

“Hrk!” Bell managed to get his Khopesh in the path of the attack.

Ching

The Needle Rabbit’s horn glanced off the metal of the Divine Weapon. Bell shoved the Monster backwards and then punted it across the cavern with a sickening crack. The Needle Rabbit didn’t move again and Bell continued on with the fight.

“Sunburst!” Another blast of burning light engulfed the next Killer Ant, killing it before it could reach Bell. “Take this!” Bell spun his sword around once and lopped off the top half of the next Killer Ant’s head. He spun in a complete circle and broke his Khopesh upwards to cut straight through the head of another charging Killer Ant, splitting the Monster’s head in half vertically. He skipped back a few large steps to avoid getting swarmed and held his hand forward. “Sunburst!” He launched one bolt of light and then dropped the same amount of Mind into his palm again. To his surprise, his hunch turned out to be correct, and a second ball of burning light was launched, killing another Killer Ant. “So, if I add enough Mind before the first spell fully fades, I can cast again without the incantation? Is it because this is Swift-Strike Magic?” Bell wondered, but he didn’t have time to think about that now as he brought his sword down on another Needle Rabbit, having seen this one coming this time. The lunging rabbit was split cleanly in two, both halves flying off into different directions before landing on the stone floor with a wet splat.

Bell still had a few more Killer Ants left to kill before he was in the clear. So, he readied his Khopesh and charged into the fray again.

-Afternoon-

“Light of heaven, the song of life, the dance of the guardian. Protect my treasure, restore my treasure, and strengthen my treasure. Treasure Light!” Bell cast and the golden glow surrounded him. Feeling what little injuries he had heal up and the rush of his stats being boosted, Bell held up his hand at the six War Shadows that were left in the corridor. “Sunburst!”

The light gathered again, but this time brighter and much larger. The sphere of burning light flew from Bell’s hand and lit up the corridor brightly as it rapidly crossed the distance between the Adventurer and the Monsters.

“Gugugugu!” The War Shadows made their odd sound before they vanished into the light.

“That…was a lot bigger than normal.” Bell looked at his hand that was still covered in the golden glow of his Abjuration Magic. Walking over to where the War Shadows had been, Bell found the all dead, their glass-like ‘faces’ looked partially melted from his empowered spell. “Good to know that the boost in my stats is this much.” Bell took out his knife and cut open the first War Shadow’s chest. Without hesitation he took out the Magic Stone inside the pitch-black Monster and watched it disintegrate into white ashes. “By my count, these six, plus the other five that were with them, brings me up to three-hundred for today!” He moved over to the next dead War Shadow.

-Guild Exchange ~ Late Afternoon-

“Your Magic Stones are worth 17,634 Valis. The Needle Rabbit Tusk, Kobold Nail, three Killer Ant Claws, and the War Shadow Finger Blade are worth 5,200 Valis. Your total exchange today is 22,834 Valis. Please, have a nice night.” The Chienthrope man behind the glass gave Bell a polite smile as he pushed the tray filled with the money over to Bell’s side.

“I will, ma’am, thank you very much.” Bell took his money and secured it in his hip pouch. With a small smile he patted his hip pouch and then moved over to the meeting area to give his report to Anna.

Anna could only sigh when Bell gave his report. She was happy that he was okay, but going to the Seventh Floor solo just sounded like a bad idea. The fact that Bell had gained another Magic and that had propelled him even further in his dungeon crawling had been a surprise. Anna had gasped when Bell revealed that he’d slain three-hundred-twenty-seven Monsters today. She’d have another surprise for her colleagues, that was for sure.

-Bubastis-

Bell sat on the couch with his shirt off and his back exposed to Bastet. The familiar blue-white glow was emanating from his back as Bastet watched his Excelia.

“You’re really pushing yourself, Bell.” Bastet looked at him with a bit of concern. “Don’t go too hard and leave yourself exhausted, okay?” She moved the Excelia into the Falna and watched as his numbers grew substantially.

Bell nodded to Bastet’s request. “I’ll be careful, Goddess. I just want to get stronger and do all that I can for our Familia.”

Bastet placed a blank paper onto Bell’s back and copied the new numbers over. “I know, Bell. But you can only do that if you come back safely.” She ruffled his white hair playfully before handing him his newly updated Status.

-Status-

Bell Cranel

Sunburst – Radiant Swift-Strike Magic

Skills

Tafani Al Usra (Dedication to Family) – Fast growth as long as feelings last. More desire results in faster growth. More effort results in stronger growth. Those the user sees as ‘family’ have accelerated growth in proportion to their efforts. As a side-effect it makes the user immune to Charms and Magics that affect the mind.

-Status-

“My Magic stat increased a lot this time.” Bell looked at the growth of his Magic stat compared to his others. “I guess I did use my spells more now that I have my attack Magic.”

Bastet hugged him from behind after locking up his Falna, making it disappear into his skin. “You spent the entire day using it and trying to understand your new spell. It makes sense that your Magic stat would grow more than the others today.”

Bell enjoyed the hug and leaned back into Bastet’s embrace. The two sat there on the couch for a while, perfectly content to just be together.

-Next Morning-

Bell stopped in his tracks as soon as he opened the front gate.

Standing before the front gate were Matora, Ikumi, and Chacha. All three Amazons smiled upon seeing Bell and Chacha even waved at him.

“Good morning, Chacha, Ikumi, Matora.” Bell greeted the girls, looking at each of them with a smile. “How’re you three doing?”

“Better now that we’ve seen you!” Chacha laughed brightly.

Ikumi grinned at Bell as she reached over to the side of the gate and hefted her large sword over her shoulder, the straight blade with the large, hook-like serrations seemingly weighing little to the Level 2 Amazon. “We were wondering if you’d want to spend the day training with us?”

“You said that you were learning as you went, right?” Matora grinned at him, challenge in her beautiful silver eyes. “We’re willing to help you learn more about fighting and build up your foundation!”

“Really?” Bell blinked, not having expected this offer at all.

Chacha nodded with a bright grin. “Uh huh! It’ll be fun! What do you say?”

“I was just going to head into the Dungeon today. But I am about to drop down to the Eighth Floor soon, it couldn’t hurt to actually learn some real combat skills.” He didn’t know how long he’d be able to keep up his pace with his self-taught swordsmanship and his lack of any real hand-to-hand knowledge. “Let me tell Bastet that I’ll be staying home today and that you three are here. We’ll make enough for lunch for everyone.”

Bastet was perfectly fine with Bell staying home and learning from experienced Adventurers. She knew Bell had some talent with his Khopesh, and even displayed good skills within the Dungeon, so far. But it would help ease her heart if he had some proper instruction.

“Alright, Bell, come at me!” Ikumi held her massive sword at the ready.

“Here I come!” Bell had his Khopesh Treasure Sword in hand and came at Ikumi quickly. He changed direction mid-charge, outside of Ikumi’s range with her weapon, and tried to take her side.

Woosh

CLANG

Bell staggered backwards, barely blocking the sing of Ikumi’s sword with his own. His right arm shook for a second from the speed and weight that he’d blocked, but he tightened his grip and looked for an opening.

“First lesson,” Ikumi said as she held the large sword at the ready again. “If your opponent is significantly stronger than you, or outweighs you by a good amount, blocking is rarely the best option. You should prioritize evasion when facing opponents like that.”

“Yes.” Bell nodded in understanding.

Ikumi moved this time, rushing Bell and swinging her massive sword horizontally as if trying to bisect Bell at the waist.

Bell dropped low; his white hair ruffled by the wind from the sword passing over his head. ‘She’s got to be off balance right now!’ Bell lunged forward with his Khopesh, ready to strike.

Ikumi proved her experience as she buried the first serration of her sword into the dirt and used he grip on the handle to lift herself up. Bell’s swing passed through the empty air where she’d just been. “Coming down!” Ikumi’s weight on the handle of the sword brought the blade down like a paper slicer and Bell was right in the path.

“Shit!” Bell threw himself out of the way and rolled to get back on his feet as fast as possible.

“Not bad.” Ikumi pulled her sword from the ground with barely any effort and readied herself for another attack.

“You should also be more aware of your surroundings.” Chacha called out as her fist screamed towards Bell’s head from behind.

Bell didn’t have time to think, he just juked to the side and brought his Khopesh swinging around. Chacha didn’t even blink as she caught his wrist and then threw him over her shoulder.

“Gak!” Bell hit the ground and hacked out the air from his lungs.

“Monsters won’t give you any reprieve, especially if you’re injured!” Ikumi’s blade came down in an overhead swing, heading right for Bell’s head.

With a grunt, Bell managed to roll out of the way. The huge serrated blade split the ground where he’d been not a second later. He forced himself to his feet only to see Chacha pick up a stick from the grass.

“Warp creation and tip the balance. Scale!” Chacha revealed that she had Magic with her incantation. The stick in her hand was suddenly a large log that she wielded as easily as a club. “DODGE!!!” She swung the log straight at Bell.

Bell dove to the ground again, the wind almost whistling as the heavy log was swing through it at great speed. “What the hell?!” He’d never seen Magic like that before!

“The flames of passion become food for the spirit. Alev!” Ikumi’s left hand filled with flames which she threw at ball as a fireball.

“You have Magic too?!” Bell dodged the flames by a close margin as he tried to get out of Chacha’s range so that he wouldn’t be crushed by the log she was wielding as a club.

“Never said that I didn’t!” Ikumi grinned wickedly at Bell as she came at him with her sword.

“Sunburst!” Bell decided to use his magic against his opponents too. The bright light appeared in palm before he launched it at Chacha behind him.

Chacha laughed as she swung the log sideways to knock the spell aside. “Got it!”

The light consumed the top of the log for an instant before vanishing, thick, still smoldering ash fell to the ground as Chacha, Matora, and Ikumi all blinked at the results of Bell’s spell.

“Yah!” Bell rushed Ikumi while she was stunned, only for the Amazon to block his Khopesh with the large flat side of her blade, using it as a makeshift shield.

-Several Minutes Later-

“Ow…” Bell was laid out on the grass, flat on his back.

Chacha and Ikumi were leaning over him with smiles. Their massive tits looked like they’d fall right out of their tops any second but, to Bell’s disappointment, they never did.

“That was great, Bell!” Chacha praised him for the first spar.

“You did a lot better than we expected in your first two-on-one spar against two Level 2’s!” Ikumi had a bright grin on her face.

It went unsaid that both women were not only proud of Bell’s performance, but also a little turned on by it too. Bell, even at a massive disadvantage, never once backed down or gave up. His tenacity as a warrior was VERY appealing to their Amazon instincts.

Matora walked over with a predator-like smirk on her lips and a challenge burning in her silver eyes. “On your feet, Bell! It’s my turn now!” She punched her right fist into her left palm. “I won’t be using any Magic against you, no weapons either! This is all about your hand-to-hand combat training!”

“Y-Yes, Matora.” Bell got to his feet and sheathed his Khopesh before handing it to Chacha to take off to the side.

Bell took up the only real stance he knew, both his fists raised in front of himself.

Bam

Bell barely saw the fist that hit him, but he did see the ground as it came up to meet him.

“Your stance needs work.” Matora told him, her hands on her hips as she leaned over his downed form, her breasts bouncing enticingly. “Come on, let’s try again!” She helped him up to his feet and then pressed herself against his back, her tits squishing against him. “Alright, I’m going to correct your stance now, just go where I position you, alright?”

“Yeah…” Bell agreed, and Matora gave him a knowing smirk, fully aware of what she was doing to him.

From the back door, Bastet watched on as Bell trained with the three Amazons. Seeing how much they wanted to help Bell improve made Bastet smile, even as she winced when Bell hit the ground again. “I need to figure out a way to get them out of Ishtar Familia.” Such wonderful women were wasted on that spiteful, vain, and prideful Goddess.

-Babel Tower ~ Freya’s Floor-

“You’re certain, Ottar?” Freya asked her Captain and one of her lovers as she looked over the report that he’d brought her.

“Yes, my Lady. I sent our best into the Pleasure Quarter last night as you instructed and this is what they found.” Ottar confirmed the validity of the reports, and the sketches that had been made of the suspicious people that Ishtar was giving shelter to within her territory.

Freya sighed a little as she looked at the sketches of cloaked and hooded men, recalling the last time she’d seen such concealing clothing worn. “Is she really that petty about my success within Orario?” She’d been able to ignore Ishtar’s little provocations for years. But this? Working with remnants of Evilus? A group led by self-proclaimed ‘Evil Gods’ that had nearly brought Orario to ruin a few years ago? “I certainly don’t want all of the effort and pain that you all went through to be for nothing.” Freya Familia had fought on the front lines of the ‘Great Feud’ as it was now known. They’d benefited from fighting such strong enemies, but Orario finally had some peace in the time since she, Ganesha, and Loki had stomped out those annoying Deities.

Freya stood up from her chair and walked over to the wall-spanning window that let her look out over all of Orario. She contemplated her options and what the repercussions of her actions would be for each one. Ottar stood by silently, ready to fulfill any orders that Freya would give him.

“Ottar, we’re going to Folkvangr.” Freya decided on her response to Ishtar’s crossing of this line. “We’ll nip this in the bud now, before it can bloom into a problem.” She tossed her long silver hair over her shoulder as she turned and headed for the door.

“As you will it, my Lady.” Ottar bowed to her before following behind her as they headed for the elevator. His eyes were sharp and firm, he would decimate the Ishtar Familia and wipe out these Evilus remnants that were hiding within the Pleasure District. There would be no mercy nor any negotiation.

Freya Familia was marching on the Pleasure District!

Bell has his first ‘Amazon Date’ and DAMN does it end well! Lucky bastard!

He also got to use his new Swift-Strike Magic in the Dungeon for the first time! Sunburst is powerful, as Radiant Damage isn’t resisted by most Monsters at all. As Bell continues to learn and experiment with both of his spells, new applications will certainly be discovered!

Matora, Ikumi, and Chacha come by to train with Bell and help him get stronger! Bell is grateful, of course, but man is Amazon training Spartan as all hell!

Fight through the pain, Bell! You can do it! For the snu-snu!

And… Well…damn… Ishtar done fucked up!

With Freya Familia on the move, I think we all know the future outcome, yes?

What will that mean for the members of Ishtar Familia?

Can they survive the coming storm?

What about an innocent Renard that has been enslaved for years?

Keep reading to find out!

Let me know what you thought!

Until next time, later!
