Capítulo 49: CHAPTER 48
"Are you alright, lady Xeria?",
Senku expressed. As Xeria felt that someone was still concerned for her well-being, she poured out tears of acheing joy,
"Yes, I'm alright now...warden Senku...".
She hugged him back with her burnt and scarred hands. It seemed Aron treated her very brutally, as her hands were almost charred. For a former husband, Aron's too cruel. As Senku took notice of the whippings and lashings behind Xeria's delicate back, he expressed to her,
"Aron did beat you up pretty badly huh?".
Xeria responded honestly,
"Yes, since I escaped from my cage...".
Senku just sighed with a concerned look,
"I see I see...".
Afterwards, Senku lifted her up such as she was a princess in his arms. Xeria was utterly flabbergasted. She tried to speak up normally but, she was too nervous for the chivalrous action and radiant appearance of Senku,
"Lord S-Senku what are you d-doing?".
Senku didn't respond. He just brought out his left hand and he let her feel his warm touch on top of her soft chest. Senku took a deep breathe and composed his nerves. The next moment, a holistic white energy stream had surged throughout Xeria. As the pure pulsing energy flow was encroaching around Xeria's body, her whole body was healing. Her blemishes, wounds, deep cuts incurred by the wretched Aron had dispersed. Xeria was very much surprised and felt the pain were all gone as well, such as her body was good as new. She looked at Senku as if he was a true savior for her,
"T-thank you Senku...".
Even her dress didn't have tatters or rips anymore, as it was restored to its original state too. Sooner or later, Senku exited the door, while he was carrying Xeria. He didn't stop there, as he opened the cell bars with his telekinetic powers, and went outside her cell, turning Xeria to be flabbergasted. Senku looked at her straight in the eye with a serious look on his face,
"I'll ask you straight, do you want to be free from Aron's bloody hands?".
Xeria was estranged over Senku's straightforward question,
"W-what do you m—.".
"Tell me Xeria, do you want to escape from your cold fate?",
he interrupted. Xeria was feeling that Senku was truly serious and wanted her quick answer, so she replied with a determined look,
"Yes...".
Senku nodded and responded with a cold tone,
"Then, I shall bestow upon you, the powers of DISTORTION...".
Afterwards, he kissed her. Xeria closed her eyes and left out a crystal tear drop, as she gave her all to Senku. Their entwining tongues and series of kisses took long, as they indulge themselves in the chilling yet, passionate embrace. Neither of them looked at each other eye-to-eye but, their ruptured hearts were bonding through the nether miasma that was wreathing around their presence. Soon, Xeria's external and inner body was being slowly filled with powerful yet, unstable energy lights of deaf-defying abyss and radiant bursts of heavenly stars. More so, her left chest had a mark, emanating of white thorns and blackened heart. As soon as they had finished their exchange of warm kisses, the two of them vanished, releasing out bursts of starlight and miasma from the deep abyss along the vicinity.
Later on, the two of them arrived at the extravagant and comfortable villa of the said master at Hellion realm. Xeria was widely shocked as her very eyes saw that they weren't in the cold prison anymore. Through her vision, she was locked into focus of seeing the life-sized lava lamps at the corners and a comfy sofa near them. Thereupon, she looked at him and asked,
"Where are we, warden Senku?".
Senku replied with a cool smile,
"We're at my place...my villa at Hellion realm...".
Xeria made a smile as she was no longer feeling the stagnant vibes at the prison,
"I see...".
A while later, the two of them heard a knock on the door. Senku replied with a loud voice, in which those outside were able to hear,
"Yes come in...".
The door opened. Thereon, Mara and Liliath came in and bowed such as they were obedient servants. As they were done bowing to him, Mara told Senku like he was a highly positioned official,
"Master, we're here to tell you that—.".
Although, Mara had stopped, as she took notice of Fallen Xeria lifted by Senku's arms,
"Master, why are you holding a FALLEN in your benevolent arms?".
Then, Liliath expressed with an annoyed look as well,
"Yeah! What she said!".
Senku just made a devious grin of a demon lord. It appeared Senku was sought to be the real master behind the scenes. Otorine should be careful of him to be honest. As for Xeria, she was utterly confused over the fact that the highly-esteemed Blade Goddesses were treating him with great respect. It seemed he was a superior to them, turning Xeria to be filled with doubts in her thoughts,
"Wait, why are these great Blade Goddesses addressing warden Senku as their master? What's really going on?!".
The awkward silence was in the air, as Mara and Liliath were getting annoyed since their master didn't respond to their sensitive question. It appeared Senku was liking that their faces were being filled with envy and jealousy. Though, soon enough, he just commanded them with a calm voice,
"Liliath, just take lady Xeria with you and go on with the process of imprinting Distortion inside of her...".
Liliath just looked away and replied,
"Hmph! Sure thing master...".
There after, Senku let Xeria stand on her feet and let Liliath to escort her outside the room. In turn, Mara and Senku were the only ones left. Senku was noticing that Mara still looked displeased, so he explained to her, while he was lying on his comy sofa,
"So you wanna know on why I brought a PITIFUL, LOWLY, AND PATHETIC FALLEN here huh?".
Mara responded,
"Yes master...".
Senku made a grin,
"Let's just say, she'll be a perfect vessel and secret weapon for my ideal world to come.".
Although, Mara didn't look satisfied of Senku's indirect answer, so she ought to ask him more with added gestures,
"Could you elaborate on this more, master?".
Senku brought out his smartphone from his pocket. He fiddled with it and took an interesting glance, as he was seeing the vital information about the Fallen Xeria through the screen. Though, he was just looking at her bust-size information and other sensitive parts such as he was a maniac to the rotten core. Soon, he explained to Mara,
"I'm sure you've heard of this DESIRE thing already right?. This is what drives us deities, heroes, and heroines as well as the other lesser people to attain greater heights, yes?".
Then, he said more and more to persuade Mara,
"Since, Xeria has HIGH LEVELS of DESIRE of hating Aron, I'm sure her POWERS OF DISTORTION would be very glorious as well.".
Mara didn't ask more, she just bowed and replied back immediately with a cold look in her eyes,
"If that's how you see it master, then I won't object...However, if she proved to be a threat amongst us, I will smite her down with my own bloodied hands and remove her from existence...".
Senku didn't argue against Mara's sole decision. Instead, he just told her something else,
"Now join along with Liliath and Priscilla upon imprinting distortion into Xeria...and make it quick.".
He had stopped fiddling on his smartphone and sat upright on his sofa such as he was a highly Godfather. He held his own hands and gave the look of a true scheming mastermind,
"Since, I want to give OTORINE and HER FRIENDS a taste of this amazing DISTORTION bestowed by our GODDESS QUEEN WEISSIA!".
Mara bowed and left through the door. As the door was shut, Senku relaxed himself and had stopped masking the look of a demonic schemer. Soon, he snapped his fingers and he had appeared at a different location.
Through Senku's senses, he was seeing the 360 degree arena of Celestia Heavens that was filled with lots of Gods and Goddesses alike. More than that, he was now sitting on one of the comfortable benches at the higher layers. At the prime center, there was a certain divine Goddess doing an outstanding gymnastic stunt filled with magic. It appeared the event being held now was a contest of artful performance. While he was glancing around the place through his Godly vision, he took notice of Miro and little Nassus below. Senku crossed his arms and made an expression of a furious demon,
"Those two insects huh...Soon, I shall destroy both of you and get what I deserve...".
Afterwards, everyone heard throughout the whole colliseum the voice of the female emcee from the previous event,
"And now it is time for Blade Goddess Otorine's time to shine!".
Then, an around of applause was heard as Otorine was entering the center stage. Although, Otorine was dressed differently than her casual and traditional attire as she was wearing a flowing dress seamed by the starry heavens. It was gleaming of sparkling azure and prismatic opal gemstones as she move along. More so, she was wearing a small glass tiara too. In turn, she looked even more appropriate, as the star and centerpiece of the show. As soon as the sound of applause faded out, she calmed herself. Zooming close into her view, Otorine brought out her japanese fanblades that had long flowing sapphire and silver ribbons attached. The next moment, Otorine cast out,
"YUKIYONA'S WORLD...".
The next moment, a powerful blizzard had seeped throughout the center stage. Sooner or later, the blizzard had dispersed and it let out snowflakes to fall around the area. Moreover, the whole stage turned into an ice sheet and Otorine was now wearing ice skating blades that brimmed of crystal brilliance. Afterwards, a music of soothing melody was heard at the start and Otorine was skating gracefully such as she was a professional ice skater. She moved along the frozen glass such as she was dancing flawlessly along the calming winds aided by her twisting fanblades. The chilling air filled with serenity done by Otorine's elegance was blending nicely as her movements were near perfection. As the liquid melody was rising little by little, Otorine was leaping and twisting her body high into the air with added amazing grace. More so, while she was twirling around, she was releasing magical stardusts into the air. She looked-like a dancing fairy along the whole place. In the air, she was a professional model of crystal ice that would dazzle anyone's senses. Gliding melody was heard throughout the whole arena. Soon the music was getting intense as the engaging bursts of piano and trumpets were heard, making Otorine to jive into the sudden cadenza with added elegance as well. While she was twirling along the frozen place, she let out ice glaciers around her. She continued to twist around repeatedly, as the violin was intense in the heartbeat and passion. In turn, she was letting out glittery sparkles such as she was she was a piece of an ascending galaxy releasing out stardust while twirling almost endlessly. A mix of marvel and outstanding performance was being seen. Everyone was getting astounded of Otorine's beautiful performance as she was ascending into the air. The powerful pitches were heard once again, making Otorine to burst out more ice crystals around her wake, while she was twisting. Even though, she was letting out jewels, she was the prime jewel of the stage. The music reached its highest peak of the heavens and the lights were transcending beyond the unknown. The violin held its soprano-like tone, making Otorine to bring out her marvelous butterfly wings made of fine glass as she was high in the sky. Soon, the rythm dove into its subtle yet powerful melody, making Otorine to descend down fast and the icicles around her crumbled. There after, those crystal-like icicles burst out like they were sparkling stardust in the aftermath. In turn, Otorine ended her performance with a dazzling bang. The next moment, everybody were amazed. There was a standing ovation, lots of woos and whistles were heard from the divine crowd. Thereupon, the voice of the female emcee was heard once again,
"Wow! Now that's something we don't see everyday! Beautiful performance Goddess Otorine, truly beautiful!".
While for Miro who was at his seat, he was awe-struck of Otorine's performance as well,
"I must say, Goddess Otorine had done something spectacular amongst the other Goddess participants. I could even say, she did even better than Yumi's sexy pole dancing.".
Then, Miro was deep in his thoughts, regarding the latter,
"Though, atleast she didn't really strip all of her clothes at the stage. I don't even wanna know what would happen...but dang, her body is amazing even underneath...".
For some reason, Miro was blushing with a passionate look while he was looking away and imagining the previous performance of Yumine. Soon enough, he asked the young Nassus beside him who was standing as well,
"How about you li'l Nassus? What can you say about your Ori's—.".
Although, Miro witnessed that the kid looked very much astounded as the child's eyes were filled with sparkles and engagement, making Miro to stop asking. Instead, Miro just made a cool smile, as he saw how the little Nassus enjoyed Otorine's performance. As for the youthful Nassus, his radiant smile was reaching the heavens while his dazzling eyes were glued into Otorine,
"Ori onee-chan's amazing...".
Miro replied,
"Yeah, I could say the same too, Nassus...".
As a long time passed, back at Ru's bar, the artful event was finished. Weissia was at her seat once again and she was craving lots of ice cream dishes as usual. While for the other table nearby, Miro, little Nassus, Otorine, Amora, and Yumine were eating their bucket of tasty fried chicken with rice on their plates. More so, Otorine was back to her usual and traditional outfit. Soon, Miro complimented Otorine and Yumine,
"You two were amazing back there, all I could say...".
Otorine nodded with a grateful smile. As for Yumine, she was incredibly delighted of Miro's sweet flattering words,
"Awww, thanks for the compliment Miro...".
Then, Miro gave out more pleasing words for them to hear,
"Really, you two aren't just Goddesses but, truly amazing Goddesses...".
Yumine replied with a confident smile,
"Geez, stop flattering us...".
Yumine took a sip of her milkshake and said with a frown,
"Though, it's kinda sad that Ori didn't win, even though everyone was amazed by her performance...".
Miro replied shyly,
"Yeah, since you won instead Yumi. Thanks to your...almost strip dancing,
Yumine fidgeted, as she heard Miro's description over her performance from before,
"Y-yeah well...I didn't have much of a choice, since they cancelled the Dragon Goddess beauty pageant and put us instead in this Dragon Goddess dance...".
Then, Yumine told more,
"Honestly, that's the only talent I could do...pole dancing...".
Miro repsonded,
"Well, it was still very sexy...".
Thereupon, Amora crossed her arms and told her regards to Yumine's stunt,
"And it just goes to show that the current male deities favored Yumi's sexy dancing more than REAL ART and PERFORMANCE like Ori did...".
It seemed the rankings and judgements were solely based on votings of the said divine masses, turning Yumine to win, regardless of the better performances. Yumine just go on with the flow while she was pointing someone out,
"Well, what would you expect? Most of the male deities are thirsty males, take Aron for example.".
Amora nodded,
"Yes, even though I had a feeling he voted for Otorine like a diehard admirer...I think he recorded your too sexy performance Yumi and added it to his RESEARCH MATERIALS.".
Yumine just facepalmed with a stressed look,
"Yea, I already had a feeling that not only him but the others would do it too...There goes my reputation that I have left.".
Honestly, do you still believe you have reputation girl? Afterwards, Yumine asked the young Nassus feasting on two chicken breasts,
"How about you little Nassus? Whose performance you pretty much liked?".
Little Nassus replied with his mouth full,
"Owi onee-chwans!".
Otorine felt grateful and made her to feel a warm feeling from her young Nassus,
"Thank you Nassus...".
Then, Otorine rubbed young Nassus's hair like an adorable fluffy dog. Thereon, Yumine said more,
"Other than that...I think Senku's one of the guys who would favor real performance over my so-so FANSERVICE performance...".
Amora agreed,
"Yes I agree, as he's much more of a disciplined deity than Aron. Even in his human life, he's still nicer and better than Aron...".
Miro held his own chin and looked very unsure of himself,
"Maybe...".
Yumine was surprised over Miro's doubt,
"Eh? You don't like him that much Miro?".
Miro elaborated,
"Well yes and no, he's more respectful than Aron but, I feel like there's something strange going on with him.".
Yumine understood of what Miro had meant,
"Oh, maybe you must be referring to his crazy obsession on pizzas then. Yea, he craves lots of pizzas...LOTS OF 'EM...same as our BENEVOLENT GODDESS QUEEN who's into ice cream instead.".
As Weissia heard Yumine's indirect insult, Weissia had choked, while she was eating her ice cream. While for Amora, she just nodded and she replied back straight,
"And he's also burning my Goddess points fast thanks to those. Honestly, who orders twenty-four stacks of pizza and ONE SECRET SERVICE SPECIAL PIZZA TREAT almost every f*cking day?".
As Miro heard their sentiments, he was kinda convinced,
"Yeah, I guess that's it...".
Though, he was still filled with doubts in his deep thoughts,
"Although, that's not what I meant...I feel like he's scarier than Aron. I guess it's just my intuition. Come to think of it, where does warden Senku hang out? I could see Aron hanging out here most of the time with different chicks. More than that, Senku kinda knows something that we don't...".
As a few hours have passed, Amora bid farewell and left the others as she wanted to get some early shut eye. Thereupon, her friends and new set of companions waved goodbye. As Amora was outside the glass door, Ira entered the bar. Although, Ira looked stressed and had baggy eyes for some strange reason. Through her droopy eyes, she noticed that the tables were all occupied, so she just went straight to Otorine's table in which Otorine, little Nassus, Yumine, and Miro were at. Yumine took witness of the tired Ira who was standing next to them so she let her seat beside her,
"You look stressed...what's up?".
