After a gargantuan effort to calm Yuri down, Vahn had a deadpan expression on his face as he sat across from the two topless women and explained the Quest System in detail. He had given up on trying to make them wear their clothes properly after they began to tease him about being shy, so, without hiding his gaze in the slightest, he alternated between appreciating Yuri's abundant bosom and Ureko's two 'compact' yet perfectly sculpted breasts.
Rather than shy away from Vahn's gaze, Ureko and Yuri seemed rather proud of the fact they were being admired in such a forward yet inoffensive manner. Neither was the type to care about being seen naked, and, though they would severely punish anyone that attempted to proposition them, it still satisfied their egos to be coveted by others. Still, that didn't mean they would let Vahn's offense go unpunished, so, partway through the explanation, Ureko teased, "Enjoying the view? How about it? Want to give them a feel? You might lose your hand, but I guarantee it'll be worth it~."
Deciding he'd rather not rile up a horny True Dragon, even if her bloodline was sealed, Vahn didn't hesitate to shake his head as he casually replied, "I doubt I'd get away with just a hand. For now, I'm more than satisfied with the view. Don't worry, even without your 'assistance', I'll be able to surpass you in a few years. When the time comes, I'll be sure to make you mine."
With her irises contracting into thin lines, a barely constrained aura began to surge from Ureko's body as a rather vicious smile spread across her face. Vahn's aura actually reminded her a lot of her father, so, while he was currently very weak, she had very high expectations for his future. Hearing him calmly and confidently state he would make her into his woman gave her a very strong desire to make the opposite true. There was a certain surety contained within his words, one that stirred her instincts in a way that made her want to possess and groom him into her ideal partner...
Feeling an almost overwhelming urge to flee, Vahn's expression hardened as his own draconic aura began to surge outward. This served to further excite the crimson-eyed blonde, so much so that the pale pink protrusions at the end of her perky breasts became noticeably more rigid as she said, "I'll give you ten years...if you're half the dragon you appear to be, that should be more than enough to reach my level. If you fail...don't blame me for taking matters into my own hands..."
Though he wouldn't have backed down if Ureko tried to pressure him, Vahn felt as if a tremendous weight had been removed from his shoulders when he heard her words. Ten years might not seem like a long time, but it was plenty for someone like him. He could easily stretch a single day into a thousand years if he really wanted to, so, the moment he heard Ureko's deadline, all the tensions he had been feeling melted away.
Seeing Vahn's reaction, Ureko felt a strong compulsion to reduce the amount of time she had given him. Fortunately for him, she wasn't the type to take back her words. Instead, she just loudly clicked her tongue before leaning back with a bored expression and saying, "Just give me the most difficult Quest you have. I'm gonna chill here for a few days, but, after that, I'll be returning to the 77th Floor to make preparations for the coming war. If you have anything related to pummeling the Leaders of the Ten Great Families, I'm game."
Envisioning the scene of Ureko beating up and hogtying the Leaders of the Ten Great Families, Vahn was unable to prevent an amused chuckle from escaping his throat. Unfortunately, while there were actually a number of Quests related to the Ten Great Families, most of them were intended for him. The only SSS-Rank Quests for Ureko involved tracking down and defeating Phantaminum's shadow, a nigh-impossible task even for her, and, somewhat amusingly, becoming the number 1 Idol in the Tower.
Though he imagined her [Child of Destiny: SSS] would protect her, Vahn didn't want to see Ureko suffer a setback by sending her on an impossible Quest. Instead, he selected an SS-Rank Quest for her, explaining, "Because of your power, there are no SSS-Rank Quests. The most difficult one I can find is an SS-Rank Quest that requires you to steal the Arms Inventory of the Thirteen Month Series from Adori Jahad. That would most likely serve as the catalyst for a war, however, so why not give this one a try? It's certain to spice things up a bit..."

------------------------------------------------
After reading the Quest Objectives in a single glance, a predatory grin immediately spread across Ureko's face as she pounced on Yuri. This caused the latter to startle, but, much like when she had dealt with Vahn, Ureko was able to effectively 'stun' her opponents using a variation of Reverse Flow Control. As a result, it only took her a few seconds to effortlessly strip away the confused Princess' garments before stretching out a pair of ornate black lace panties between her fingers and musing, "One down~." before 'firing' them towards Vahn's face.
With a membrane of Shinsu surrounding the lace undergarment, it traveled through the air like a round fired from a railgun. There were even a number of shockwaves generated, but, rather than causing any damage, the still-warm fabric impacted Vahn's face with the tenderness of a relaxing Spring breeze. There was even a fragrance of flowers lingering in the air until Yuri, like a dormant volcano, erupted into a fit of rage, shouting, "What the hell do you think you're doing!?"
Without even trying to dodge Yuri's punches, Ureko just laughed as a thin yet virtually unbreakable membrane of Shinsu protected her body. This caused Yuri's anger to increase, but, much like all her other encounters with Ureko, she wasn't even able to make the latter flinch. As a result, she quickly shifted her attention to Vahn, eyes blazing with a bloody-red glow until she noticed that her panties were still adhering to his face.
Blushing nearly as crimson as her eyes, Yuri immediately appeared in front of Vahn without caring about the fact she was completely naked. Unfortunately, much as the latter had discovered, it was completely impossible to remove her panties from his face. The same barrier that protected Ureko had wrapped around both the panties and Vahn's face, forcibly adhering the two together as the culprit continued to laugh like a demoness.
Realizing the helplessness of the situation, Yuri decided to do the only thing she did better than fighting: not caring about what others thought. This allowed her to calm down almost instantly as she glared towards Ureko and remarked, "What are you laughing at? Do you think I'm afraid to be seen naked? Jokes on you, banana-brain, but I've been preparing for today for several weeks. Vahn is the future father of my children, so I can even do things like this without blushing...!"
Though she couldn't prevent a red hue from creeping into her cheeks, that didn't stop Yuri from sitting down in Vahn's lap like it was some kind of throne. This left the latter feeling more than a little exasperated, but, rather than sit there like a piece of furniture, he decided to 'support' Yuri's case by wrapping his arms around her waist. This caused her blush to become even more potent, but it also allowed a haughty smile to spread across her face as she raised her chin in a display of arrogance.
Raising her brows, Ureko, once again, looked at Yuri like an idiot as she asked, "What's with that smile? You haven't even done anything worth mentioning. Heck, according to Soo-Yun, that little dragon behind you has already gone to town on several women during his climb up the Tower. If you think sitting on his lap is an accomplishment, I actually feel a little sorry for you..."
Never one to back down from a challenge, Yuri was prepared to demonstrate just how far she was willing to go. She had already changed her target from Gandr to Vahn, so, even if she didn't really expect anything to happen, she had made sure to wear her most expensive pair of panties 'just in case'. Now that it had come to this, she was more than willing to commit a taboo, but, before she could so much as utter a single syllable, a compulsory moan escaped her throat as Vahn reached his hand up and began to massage her left breast.
Though she had been goading Yuri with the intent to witness an interesting scene, Ureko was left with her mouth slightly agape as she watched the former quickly become a demure maiden in the capable hands of Vahn. It was almost like Yuri was completely incapable of offering any resistance whatsoever as Vahn's hands danced across her body in a manner reminiscent of a master musician tuning their instrument. In response, Yuri's cries became progressively more sonorous until she did her best to restrain herself by forcibly biting her lip...
Taking advantage of Ureko's distraction, Vahn finally managed to liberate himself from the fragrant piece of black fabric. Then, rather than stopping his hands, he grabbed Yuri's breasts a little forcibly as he leaned forward, forcing her to do the same as he continued to massage and knead her pliant melons. This caused her body to tremble madly, while, across from them, Ureko met his gaze before swallowing hard and saying, "It seems Tarou wasn't exaggerating when she 'warned' Soo-Yun about the danger of your hands..."
Smiling back with what could best be described as a wolfish-grin, Vahn explained, "I can even revive the dead and heal virtually any injury with these hands of mine. This isn't even me being serious...if I stopped holding myself back, even something like this is possible..."
Punctuating his words, Vahn skillfully kneaded the very tips of Yuri's breasts, forcing her to release a nasally moan as he pinched her nipples with his thumbs and forefingers. This prompted two broken streams of cream-colored liquid to spurt from her nipples, surprising Ureko and causing Yuri's body to tremble with enough force to cause him a few internal injuries. She was 'a lot' stronger than him, so, while she was currently being very 'cooperative', it wasn't an exaggeration to say that Yuri could destroy him with a single uncontrolled spasm.
Fortunately, despite the foreign and overwhelming amount of pleasure permeating throughout her entire body, Yuri's willpower was nothing to scoff at. She knew how much of a danger she posed to Vahn under normal circumstances, so, rather than resist his actions, she focused all of her efforts on keeping her body under control. At the same time, however, she made a solemn promise to herself that she would completely rock his world once he grew strong enough to survive her going all out...
Understanding Yuri's intentions thanks to the 'narration' provided by the Law of Identity, Vahn's expression softened, his actions becoming gentler as he guided her into a more comfortable and controlled wave of pleasure. This allowed her to exhale a sigh of relief, and, though her body was 'vibrating' in a persistent wave of satisfaction, she had enough wherewithal to say, "You really know how to make the most of a situation...don't you...?"
Raising Yuri to a seated position, Vahn placed a few gentle kisses her exposed neck and shoulder before answering, "I would be a fool to miss this kind of opportunity after hearing those bold words of yours...besides, even without my ability to know things, I would have to be exceptionally dense to miss the signals you have been sending. You've been on tenterhooks from the moment we entered the Little Garden. I could also smell your pheromones when I was inscribing my Familia Crest onto your back...you shouldn't underestimate the senses of a Dragon...especially if said Dragon is also a God..."
Feeling Vahn smell the nape of her neck, a potent blush spread through Yuri's cheeks as she resisted the urge to ask him how she smelled. Unfortunately, he seemed to have read her mind, as, shortly thereafter, his resonant chuckle could be heard in her ear before he whispered a few embarrassing descriptives. This caused her face to turn absolutely crimson, her thoughts becoming chaotic as a number of emotions she had never experienced before, accompanied by a few strong urges, began to well up inside of her...
Though he was tempted to eat Yuri then and there, Vahn ultimately held himself back due to the unique constitution possessed by descendants of the Ha Family. They were virtually guaranteed to become pregnant after losing their virginity, and, while he wouldn't mind knocking up the black-haired beauty, it would cause all kinds of problems. She was still 'infected' with Jahad's blood, and, though he could purify it rather easily, the self-proclaimed 'King of the Tower' would immediately take notice when Yuri departed the Little Garden. Thus, even if she stayed inside to raise their child in the outer rings, it wasn't really a solution unless she fully resolved herself to abandon her status and remain inside.
Yuri's current plan was to get pregnant before returning to her Family and giving birth in secret. She wanted to entrust their child to her Great-Grandmother before returning to aid him in the inevitable fight against Jahad and the Families still loyal to the Empire. She, similar to an actual Amazon, didn't really have anything resembling a maternal instinct, so, while she would unquestionably care about their child, it made sense in her mind to entrust it to someone more powerful than herself. This was obviously something Vahn couldn't allow, so, rather than fuel the fires in Yuri's body, he gradually forced her to calm down before explaining his decision and plans for the future...

Though she was more than a little miffed, earning Vahn what could best be described as a vengeful glare, Yuri was eventually pacified after some careful coaxing and a promise to meet with her Great-Grandmother once he reached the 95th Floor. This was essentially the same as agreeing to wander into a minefield filled with anti-matter bombs and nuclear warheads, but, by the time he advanced that far, Vahn was confident he would be able to fend for himself.
After that extended discussion, the two girls finally returned to wearing their clothes properly. The only change was that Yuri had decided to go commando after 'graciously' allowing him to keep the thin black fabric that formerly obscured his vision. She had also given him permission to 'use' them if he was ever feeling lonely and thinking about her, earning another bout of raucous laughter from Ureko as Vahn promptly tossed them into an abandoned corner of his Inventory...
---
Seeing Yuri emerge with a slightly disgruntled expression on her face, Evan couldn't help but issue a profoundly relieved sigh as he said, "Thank the highest heavens...I was certain you would have done something foolish, Princess..."
Already annoyed from before, Yuri didn't hesitate to leap through the air with the grace of a gazelle as she planted her foot squarely in the center of Evan's face. This wasn't a Shinsu-empowered blow, but it still sent the diminutive Silver Dwarf reeling backward, blood trickling from his nostrils. Despite this, he still seemed to be greatly relieved as it was rumored that Jahad could sense when one of his Princesses had betrayed him.
Evan didn't want Yuri to become a fugitive before she could realize her dream, so, while he still had the impression that Vahn was a monster, Evan couldn't help but look towards the man with eyes of gratitude as he said, "Sorry for any inconveniences the Princess might have caused you..."
Offering a wry smile in response, Vahn wanted to tell the short man not to mind it, but, seeing the malicious red aura radiating from Yuri's body, he rightly chose to remain mum. Then, after she had finished beating the man like a worn-out sandbag, they gathered alongside several residents of the Little Garden to enjoy a meal. The only exception to this was Ureko, who, after promising she would be checking in on him after finishing her current Quest, promptly departed for the outside.
Following the blonde dragonette's departure, everyone appeared far more at ease than they had previously. She was a being that could effectively 'erase' everyone in her surroundings with a single sweep of her hand, so, while they weren't overtly fearful of her, it was impossible to fully relax when she was around. This was actually the true reason for Ureko's sudden departure, and, though it was only known to her closest confidants, one of her reasons for founding Wolhaiksong was to alleviate some of the loneliness buried deep within her heart...
---
After a rather lively meal that resulted in both Evan and Yuri praising the supplied food, Vahn asked the question Yuri had failed to answer multiple times, this time addressing Evan as he inquired, "So, what are the two of you planning to do after this? I have no problems playing host for a few days, but there are other matters requiring my attention. I'm currently aiming for the 30th Floor in order to participate in the Workshop Battle. Though I should be able to arrive nearly a month in advance, I'd rather depart sooner, rather than later."
Interrupting before Evan could answer, Yuri removed the silver spoon she had been using to eat ice cream from her mouth, asserting, "We'll meet you on the 30th Floor then. I might not interfere with your climb up the Tower, but it'll be boring to just sit around and wait for you to reach the top. My instincts are telling me that interesting things are bound to happen around you. I'm not going to let you hog all the fun for yourself."
Though he wasn't that surprised by the fact that Yuri would answer immediately after he asked the question to someone else, Vahn couldn't help but deadpan in response to her words. He knew she wasn't going to be deterred, regardless of what he said, so, much like Evan, he released a tired sigh before half-heartedly replying, "It's not like I can stop you...do whatever you want..."
With a radiant smile on her face, Yuri displayed double victory signs with her hands while snickering like a child who had successfully completed a prank. That made it appear as though she had been planning this from the start, but, thanks to the Law of Identity, Vahn knew she had literally come up with her 'brilliant' idea on the spot. Her Intellect wasn't the equivalent of a C-Rank Regular's without reason...
Comforting himself with the knowledge that he would be able to spend more time with a beautiful woman, Vahn's expression gradually eased into an empathetic smile as he looked toward Evan and said, "I guess we'll be seeing each other on the 30th Floor then. For now, you and your companions are considered my guests. If you have any questions, feel free to ask Ryun or the other residents for information. Yuri is now a member of my Familia, so, as her confidant and advisor, you are welcome to come and go as you please."
Though he had already asked Ryun many of the questions he desired immediate answers to, Evan still nodded his head in appreciation of Vahn's words. The fact Ryun had been willing to answer him at all was likely due to the man giving her permission to do so. This made him feel suspicious at the time, but, now that Yuri had emerged 'unscathed' from the Familia Induction Ceremony, most of his uncertainty had waned. He was starting to realize that Vahn was remarkably 'genuine' for someone who purported themselves to be an Emperor, so his impression of the man was gradually improving with the passage of time.
Deciding to take Vahn's words at face value, Evan decided it would save a lot of time if he asked the Little Garden's most preeminent resident for information, following the former's gesture of goodwill by asking, "There are actually a number of things I'm curious about...first and foremost, I wanted to inquire about the top of the Tower. More specifically, I want to know what will happen if a native of the Tower was to reach the top..."
Understanding Evan's concerns, Vahn nodded his head in affirmation before answering, "It is as you suspect. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for those born within the Tower to advance to the Top Floor. Fortunately, there are a number of exceptions to this rule, Eurasia Enne Zahard being the best example and Yuri's Great Grand-Aunts being another. In fact, all of the children born from the union between two of the Great Leaders possess the qualifications to clear the Tower. The only reason they are not considered Irregulars is due to the 'curse' Jahad imposed upon the progeny of the Ten Great Families. Before they are even born, a powerful contract binds the developing fetus to the Tower, artificially stripping them of their status as Irregulars in order to prevent them from ever becoming a threat to Jahad..."
Hearing Vahn casually reveal one of the most carefully guarded secrets between Jahad and the Ten Great Families, Evan and Yuri found themselves at a complete loss for words. Then, with a blood-red aura emanating from her body like an intense flame, Yuri balled her hands into fists enough to draw blood as she cursed, "That bastard...!" in a wrathful tone.
Though Evan could empathize with Yuri's hatred, he noticed that Vahn was still sitting calmly on the other side of the table. Thus, before the Princess could blow her top, he furrowed his brows sternly as he firmly stated, "Princess Yuri! Calm down and pay attention! There is nothing we can about the current situation on our own! Listen to what Vahn has to say...!"
Raising his brows in response to Evan's sudden endorsement, Vahn's smile became slightly more prominent as he nodded his head and said, "Don't worry. I already told you, didn't I? My status as the God of Infinite Possibilities isn't something I fabricated out of thin air. Even at my current level of power, I'm more than capable of removing Jahad's curse. When it comes to mastery over magic and sorcery, there isn't a single person in this Tower than can hope to rival me."
Though she was still 'very' angry, Yuri was able to calm down remarkably quickly once she heard Vahn's words. She knew she wasn't even remotely strong enough to oppose Jahad and the Great Warriors who supported him; so, while a part of her wanted nothing more than to rush up to the 134th Floor in order to punch her 'father' square in his face, her instinctual fear of his tremendous power allowed her to think rationally for one of the few times in her life.
Remembering Vahn's claim about her still having unlimited potential for growth, Yuri adopted an uncharacteristically serious expression as she said, "Tell me what I need to do to become stronger. You must know of a method, right? You seem to know pretty much everything else."
Surprised by how calm Yuri appeared, Vahn adopted a more appreciative expression as he nodded his head and said, "I know countless methods to become stronger. The simplest involves changing your race and unsealing your bloodline. This will grant you tremendous power in the interim, but, if you want to become truly powerful, you'll need to use a method to increase your comprehension of the Laws. In your case, I would suggest mastering the Laws of War, Strength, and Fire. These are the three you have the highest affinity with."
Hearing Vahn mention something like 'comprehension', Yuri got the impression it would require a tremendous amount of study, effort, and meditation. She was rather famous for being terrible at all of these, so, without bothering to consider the consequences, she confidently answered, "I want to change my race and awaken my bloodline. Tell me what I need to do."
Though Vahn was rather amused by Yuri's 'resolve', Evan couldn't help but show a fretful expression as he shouted, "Princess! You can't just change your race without thinking! How do you think others would react if they saw you walking around with wolf ears and a tail!?"
Understanding he was talking about her, a frown immediately marred Ryun's countenance as she firmly asserted, "I am a Vanargandr, a descendent of the Heaven Devouring Wolf. Don't compare me to a simple wolf, you shitty dwarf..."
Not expecting such a reaction from Ryun, Evan found himself at a momentary loss for words. As a result, Yuri had more than enough time to state, "I've already made up my mind. What I do with my body is none of your concern, Evan. Besides, I think Hwa Ryun's ears and tail look cute. I can tell she takes really good care of them too. They look super soft and fluffy."
After spending months alongside Fenrir, Ryun had become rather prideful of her status as one of the few Vanargandr in existence. Thus, in response to Yuri's compliment, a smile naturally bloomed across her face as she answered, "It's all thanks to Master. The Little Garden is a paradise filled with boons that can't be found within the Tower. The environment ideal for things like training and self-study, but, most importantly, the food and baths are simply out of this world. Nothing in the Tower even comes close."
Though Ryun's words might sound a little boisterous, even Evan couldn't deny that the food served to them during lunch greatly exceeded the standard of the Royal Palace. There was even a moment where he thought the food had been laced with some kind of drug, but, after stealthily analyzing it, he found absolutely no traces of malicious or foreign substances. The food was simply prepared to a standard that didn't exist within the Tower, greatly exceeding any and all expectations.
Sharing similar sentiments, Yuri nodded her excitedly in response to Ryun's words. She was greatly looking forward to spending more time in the Little Garden, but, at least for now, she was far more interested in the discussion regarding her race. Before she could ask, however, Vahn beat her to the punch, smiling as he explained, "I understand that you're not the type to spend thousands of hours on things like cultivation and meditation...with that in mind, let me tell you about one of the most powerful warrior races, a legendary tribe known as the Saiyans..."
