Seeing that both her subordinates were incapacitated, Amano Yuuma gritted her teeth. Ignoring the soreness in her lower regions, she pounced onto Ethan again.
Ethan was slightly surprised, but since she offered herself, there was no reason to refuse.
He walked up to the girl, whose face was completely flushed, grabbed her beautiful, sensual legs, caught her small, exquisite ankles, and hoisted her pair of delicate jade feet onto his shoulders, beginning a new round of cultivation.
After breaking through to A-rank, Amano Yuuma's endurance was much stronger than Mitelt's and Kalawarner's. They fought back and forth until nightfall, and Ethan still couldn't completely conquer her.
After her flower-valley was battered beyond endurance, Amano Yuuma's cherry lips, her slender jade hands, her exquisite jade feet, her long, beautiful legs, and her pair of snow-white mounds on her chest were all left sore and soft by Ethan. Only then did the great battle finally conclude.
In the end, neither was able to completely dominate the other.
Sustained by the dual cultivation ability, Ethan could have continued fighting, but his behemoth, which was nearly raw, indicated that the pleasure was gone, and he was mentally exhausted.
The nourishment from dual cultivation wasn't 100%. After a full day of high-intensity fighting, if Ethan continued with his current strength, he might genuinely end up with soft legs and a sore back.
He was unwilling to give up, but he had to temporarily abandon the thought of conquering Amano Yuuma's mind by utterly conquering her body.
"Yuuma-chan, I have to go back for dinner. Let's arrange another session next time."
After cleaning up in the bathroom, Ethan decisively left. Since he hadn't fully subjugated Amano Yuuma, he dared not spend the night at the enemy's headquarters.
Moreover, after this half-day of high-intensity cultivation, his Magic Power had increased significantly, and he had gained two new talents, both of which he needed to properly digest and integrate into his strength.
Because Amano Yuuma successfully broke through and he had released inside her, the Lower Fallen Angel Bloodline Ethan had just acquired transformed into the Intermediate Fallen Angel Bloodline.
Then, during their subsequent dual cultivation, he gained a talent called [Quick-Change] from Amano Yuuma.
The instant clothing change he had been coveting wasn't a technique but Amano Yuuma's talent. No wonder no one else seemed to do it.
Ethan glanced at the description. Before he could even test it once, the talent merged with Shinonome Yuki's Disguise talent, creating a new, more powerful talent.
[Acquired Talent: Instant Illusion]
[Talent Description: Allows instantaneous switching between three designated forms.]
The Instant Illusion talent didn't add a single bit to Ethan's combat strength, but its effect delighted him immensely, leaving him grinning for days.
The fusion of this talent with Shinonome Yuki's Disguise talent created an ability perfectly suited for creating alternate identities.
Amano Yuuma could only select two... perhaps more sets—Ethan hadn't asked and couldn't confirm right now.
She could only seamlessly switch the clothes she was wearing. Shinonome Yuki needed to use Magic Power and her talent to change her body shape. While the change could be maintained long-term, the transformation itself took a significant amount of time.
The Instant Illusion talent combined their abilities, introducing some restrictions but fully realizing their potential.
After extensive testing, Ethan quickly figured out the limits and proper usage of this talent.
Including his current appearance, he could instantly switch between a total of three templates. This meant he could essentially create two alternate personas.
However, this 'face-sculpting' had limitations, primarily concerning physique: the difference could not exceed fifteen percent of his original body.
Ethan's current height is 175cm. The lowest the Instant Illusion talent could make him was 148.75cm, and the maximum was 201.25cm.
The same applied to weight. At 80kg, the lightest he could be was 68kg, and the heaviest was 92kg.
Moreover, this 15% was shared. If he used all of it to change height, he couldn't change his weight.
For example, if Ethan wanted the height of a young boy, creating a 150cm body, his weight would essentially remain unchanged, making him a 150cm, nearly 80kg chubby child.
The reverse was also true.
But even a five percent change in both height and weight was enough to create a completely different person. Besides, Ethan didn't intend to create an appearance vastly different from his own.
A significant difference in body size and shape would be uncomfortable for a warrior who relies on physical combat. Without a long period of adaptation, he wouldn't be able to utilize his full strength.
Therefore, he wasn't overly concerned about the physical limitations.
The crucial points were the other two aspects: gender and appearance.
Secondary sexual characteristics like breasts and the Adam's apple could be slightly adjusted, but the primary sexual characteristics below could not be changed.
Ethan's ambition to openly enter the women's changing room was instantly shattered. A cute girl with a giant penis was indeed adorable, but she still couldn't sneak in...
Ahem...
The range of adjustment for appearance was even smaller, only about ten percent. It was likely enough to fool facial recognition, but to acquaintances, he would still look very familiar.
With Ethan's base attractiveness, a ten percent reduction would still leave him above average. His plan to lower his attractiveness to adopt a 'tragic victim' persona was also ruined.
Despite the many restrictions, it was still a powerful talent. Creating two alternate identities to take the blame was perfectly feasible.
As for what appearance to choose, Ethan hadn't decided yet, as he currently had no urgent need for an alternate identity.
But he didn't want to waste the talent. He simply anchored three templates: his original form wearing three different outfits. This still achieved Amano Yuuma's instant costume change effect.
While Ethan was testing his new talent, Amano Yuuma was not idle.
After their three-on-one failure, the original plan was to drain Ethan, and while he was weak, imprison him to serve as their exclusive cultivation accelerator.
Especially after her own successful breakthrough to A-rank, the chances of this plan succeeding increased significantly. But Amano Yuuma never expected Ethan's ability to be so potent. Far from being drained, if she hadn't broken through to A-rank, that behemoth might truly have turned her into his exclusive ragdoll.
Even now, her will resisted, but her body had firmly memorized the sensation. If Ethan requested dual cultivation, it would be almost impossible for them to refuse.
However, he wouldn't be able to command them as subordinates to do other things.
The dual cultivation started in the morning. By the time Ethan left, the bright moonlight illuminated the isolated cathedral on the hillside.
Amano Yuuma woke up the sleeping Mitelt and Kalawarner. Her two useless subordinates had passed out after the second round, leaving only her to endure Ethan's onslaught from the afternoon onward. Having just lost her virginity, she was nearly thrust into submission...
In fact, she had begged for mercy, but she hadn't completely surrendered to the pleasure of dual cultivation. Instead, the continuous practice had thoroughly solidified her rank, and once the essence energy was fully digested, her strength would advance even further.
The three cleaned their bodies, which were covered in sticky fluids, in the bathroom, feeling the tremendous increase in their power and feeling utterly delighted.
"Mitelt, Kalawarner, how close are you to reaching A-rank?"
The greater the benefits of the dual cultivation, the more Amano Yuuma wanted to keep Ethan for herself. How could such a powerful ability be shared with others?
This was the core of her character—a dark-hearted Fallen Angel, completely different from Rias and the others, and the very reason Ethan chose to try and make her a slave rather than a partner.
"If the boost is this significant every time, about five more sessions should be enough to attempt the breakthrough."
Mitelt rubbed her swollen lower abdomen, actively digesting the life energy to boost her Magic Power and physical fitness.
Brushing aside her long, flowing blue hair, Kalawarner nodded. "I'm about the same, but it's clear the effect won't be this good every time."
"That's normal. It was our first time, and the difference in strength with that guy was quite large, so we gained more benefits."
Amano Yuuma explained. During her investigation into Ethan's abilities, she had researched many similar powers. While none were as perfect or powerful—some were even outright evil—they generally shared common points.
Such as Primal Yin/Yang and the disparity in power...
"Hmm, based on the effect of the last session, it's still much faster than normal cultivation."
A flush of red abruptly appeared on Kalawarner's pale face. "If we did it... cultivated for two hours every day, we could probably replenish our Magic Power and attempt the A-rank breakthrough in about a month."
