Chương 45: New Body Modifications
"Hey, what are you guys trying to get?" I ask the 2 youngest in the line.
"U-Ummmm," They both stutter while glancing at each other.
"You don't want to say?"
"I-I'LL ANSWER!" The boy shouts accidentally.
"I want to practice with a real sword since my parents only let me use a wooden sword at home. If I can practice with a real sword I can get stronger and become a great adventurer. Also, my name is Aidan," He says with a huge smile.
"And you?" I ask the little girl.
"I want to learn how to use a spear-like, my mom. She's good at the spear, and I want to be as good as her. A-also my name is Lily," she says clearly nervous.
"Oh, that's pretty cool. Well, I hope you guys practice hard. Maybe I can talk to you later when you guys are-"
"HEY WHOS CAUSING ALL THE RUCKUS! THE BLACKSMITHS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME FOCUSING!" I hear a familiar voice shout.

...
"Yo," I wave my hand.
It was Aiso who was enraged by the ruckus I accidentally caused. He had a pair of gauntlets on while holding 2 huge hammers. Even though there is the [Intense Focus] skill I'm pretty sure it can get interrupted if the ruckus is loud enough.
"Oh my queen, why are you here?" Aiso says quickly changing his attitude.
"I wanted you to make me a new weapon as well as a test for something I'm putting together,"
"Please follow me," He gestures.
Following him past the working blacksmiths we enter a stone room where the air is thick with heat. In the middle were a huge furnace and an anvil with a bunch of tools on top of it.
"So what weapon do you want? I'm assuming it is a scythe, right?" Aiso asks.
"Yes, also I want you to make a mask from a light material. Do you have something I can draw the design on?"
"Yes of course, here use this," He says while handing me some leather that already had some blueprints.
I drew a full face mask that was in the design of an oni. It used a thin chain to attach it to your head. It had the tusks and tattoos of a regular oni from Japan. Well… at least from the stories of my old world.
"This is interesting. I've never made anything like this… I can try but it won't be my best work… the same for the scythe since I've never actually made one. I've been wanting to practice for when you asked me for one but I've been too busy," Aiso says.
"Well if it sucks then you can just try again when you have free time or when it breaks," I say.
"Do you want the scythe to be the same size as your last scythe or do you want me to adjust them?" Aiso asks.
"The same size please,"
"As you wish," he says while immediately gathering the materials in a back room.
Before leaving I remembered something as well.
"AISO IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, CAN YOU MAKE 6 WEDDING RINGS FOR ME! EVERY TWO HAS TO BE MATCHING!" I yell out towards the material room Aiso was in.
Walking out of the blacksmith I decide to take a stroll through my kingdom. I was able to see all the smaller stores including the public baths which seemed pretty nice. Maybe I'll take a bath there for the experience later.
Walking some more I made my way to the waterfall that was part of my bath. You couldn't see my bath or any steam coming out of the waterfall giving me perfect privacy. At the bottom, it split into a decent-sized pond with loads of Constrictor Koi in it. It was a nice sightseeing place when you want to relax. The sound of the rushing water was almost hypnotizing as I couldn't but let out a yawn.
As always I had to wave back to the people who greeted me.
As I finished checking on my kingdom. I made my way back to my castle for lunch. Only Kumo was there as we had lunch together and told her about Aimi's and Aiso's businesses. Aiso's might not be a business though.
Finishing up my lunch, I told Kumo I was heading to the training room to do my body modifications.
"Good luck," Kumo says with a smile.
"Thanks,"
Entering the enormous training room I mentally prepared myself for the pain I was about to go through. The entire time during lunch I was not only talking with Kumo but I also debated on whether to do them all separately or at the same time. The conclusion I came to was… do them all at the same time.
If I do them all at the same time then the pain will be extreme for at most 5 minutes but if I do them separately then I'll be going through a moderate amount of pain for at most 1 hour.
After taking off my dress and crown I put on one of the black training pants that were for me to use exclusively. Sitting down in the fighting ring I decided to do some meditation before activating the skills since I felt my heart rate increase from fear.
haaaaa...
Breathing out I instantly activate the body modification skills since I felt no hesitation after meditating.
[Body Modification: Bloodline of the Phoenix], [Body Modification: Iron Skin], [Body Modification: Cursed Wings], and [Body Modification: Blessed Wings].
My blood was getting increasingly hot like lava was pouring directly into my veins. Next, my skin started to crawl as it felt like millions of ants were crawling and biting each skin cell on my body. Finally, a wave of pain erupted near the roots of my wings causing my held-in scream to come out shaking the walls of my castle.
The pain that stood out the most was the waves of pain near my wings. Looking back I saw one of them was white while the other was black but they didn't stop there. It was like the black color was trying to devour the white on the other wing but the white color didn't back down and responded the same way by trying to devour the black color.
Each time the colors clashed I felt my consciousness slip away more and more. The pain was eventually so bad that I passed out but not even seconds later, I woke up due to the immense pain and itchiness devouring my body.
Looking back once more at my wings I saw the colors on my wings started to spread towards the skin on my back making a tattoo that was jagged and symmetrical with the opposite color.
"AHHHHHHH!"
Some of the maids, Lucy, Sophia, and Kumo had gathered around the training room with worried faces. They knew to stay away since if they got close they might interrupt the process.
The pain on my skin and the pain in my blood was slowly dissipating but it made me realize how the main source of my pain was from [Body Modification: Cursed Wings] and [Body Modification: Blessed Wings] clashing against each other.
[Boiling Veins has assimilated with Bloodline of the Phoenix]
[Assimilation has created Boiling Bloodline of the Phoenix]
Approximately 3 minutes have passed by and I can now feel the tattoo crawling on my skin. The right side of my body had a black wing with black jagged tattoos along my back and up to my neck. While the left side of my body had white jagged tattoos along my back, mirroring the same pattern as the black one.
The tattoo then split off towards their respective sides, spreading along the front of my arm and the front of my leg down to the tips. Soon the tattoos were satisfied and the excruciating pain swept away like it was never there again.
I was sprawled out on the ground, panting for air as I looked back at my wings. It was like a beast was in each wing still clashing against each other even after the body modification had finished. I had a web of black and white tattoos going from my neck to my fingertips and toes.
