The entire Ceremony Site was suddenly silent, as if time itself was forced to stop by your will. With a single relaxed but authoritative flick of the fingers, a silver and black shockwave emanates from your body, hitting the sacred vessel in Miranda's hand.
KLING!
The essence inside is not destroyed. Instead, the essence reacts to the pure power you possess. A golden light exploded, enveloping the altar area, and from within that storm of light, a little girl with pale blonde hair and a clean white dress appeared.
Eva. He was breathing. He is alive. Not as a ghost, not as a parasite in your body, but as a whole entity because of your power that is a bridge for Megamycete.
"Eva...?" Miranda's voice broke out. He fell to his knees, tears streaming from behind his crow mask as he saw his daughter who had been lost for a hundred years now standing before him.
However, before Miranda could touch it, you smiled faintly. "Let me alone..." whispers.
WHUSH!
In the blink of an eye, you disappeared into a puff of black smoke that was very fragrant. Your speed of light creates an air vacuum that drops the stone pillars around the altar.
The next second, you're far up the hill overlooking the village, holding Cassandra in one arm and holding the confused-looking but calm Eva in the other. Beside you, Lady Dimitrescu landed with a heavy thump, her cloak fluttering majestically in the night wind.
You leave Miranda wailing in the midst of her ritual destruction, surrounded by other stunned Lords. You just stole Miranda's "purpose in life" and took her as a prisoner—or maybe a new family member.
"Bag..." Cassandra looks at you with unstoppable adoration. He touched your face which remained handsome and calm after performing the biological miracle. "You really just took everything from him. You are the ruler of this village now."
Alcina laughed majestically, staring at the village beneath your feet that is now yours. "You are indeed an extraordinary son, Zak. Now, Miranda has no reason to live, and she won't dare to touch you as long as you hold her daughter."
Little Eva looked at you with clear blue eyes, then turned to look at Cassandra. "Is it... Are you my parents?" he asked innocently.
Cassandra blushed darkly, while Alcina smiled meaningfully.
Me : *I told Eva to come to Miranda* she's your mother
A gripping silence envelops the top of the hill as you slowly lower Eva. Cassandra looks at you in disbelief, her cold fingers still gripping the sleeves of my smudged coat. Lady Dimitrescu fell silent, her long cigarette extinguished by the strong snowwind.
"Go," you whisper calmly, your voice heavy but full of authority. You give Eva a gentle nudge on her little shoulder. "She's your mother."
Eva looks at you for a moment with her clear blue eyes that seem to hold all of Megamycete's memories. He was not afraid. With graceful small steps, she walked down the hillside to Mother Miranda, who was still lying in the ruins of the Ceremonial Site.
Miranda looked up. His face covered in a crow mask looked shattered with sadness, but when he saw the little figure approaching, his huge black wings trembled violently.
"Eva...?" Miranda's voice broke out, a whisper full of a hundred years of waiting.
Eva stopped right in front of Miranda, then held out her warm little hand. Miranda greeted him with trembling hands, hugging the princess he had been crying for with terrible sobs—a voice that could bring down mountains.
On the Hill
You stand up straight, letting the night breeze comb your neatly arranged hair. The scent of black roses from your body still dominated the air, undisturbed by the chaos down there.
Heisenberg, who was standing not far from the ritual site, lowered his sledgehammer. He looks at you from a distance, then lifts his fedora hat as a sign of sincere respect. He knew, by giving Eve back, you were not only showing strength, but also deadly mercy. You've won Miranda's heart, or at least, broken her will to fight.
"You're doing something that no one in this village has ever thought of, Zak," muttered Lady Dimitrescu, her voice now sounding sincere without a contemptuous tone. "You give him what he wants, but in a way that keeps you his master."
Cassandra rested her head on your shoulder, hugging your arms possessively. "Now he owes you his life and purpose in life. This whole village... the entire history of Megamycete... now it revolves around you."
Down there, Miranda stood holding Eva's hand. He is staring at the hill, at you. He bowed deeply—a supreme homage from the creator of the village to the creature that now surpasses him.
Pov : *inside the castle* *in front of lady, bela, Daniel* *I kissed Cassandra and hugged her tightly while holding me* Mmuachh
Dimitrescu Castle has never felt so warm, although the snow outside is still falling heavily. In the Main Hall, a giant fireplace blazed brightly, emitting a golden light that danced over the gold carvings and crystal chandeliers.
The intense scent of black roses and the scent of leather from your black velvet coat filled the room, mixed with the aroma of Sanguis Virginis wine served on the banquet table. You stand in the middle of the hall, your handsome, athletic, and fashionable figure dominating the room.
Before you, Lady Dimitrescu sits on her great throne, sipping wine from a crystal glass gracefully. Her silver claws had been pulled in, and her expression was full of a rare calmness—the calmness of a mother who knew her daughter had found the perfect match.
Bela and Daniela stood beside their mother. Their normally hungry eyes are now looking at you with a mixture of deep respect and a hint of pent-up jealousy. They knew, you were no longer a victim, but a peerless Lord in this village.
With a slow movement full of affection and dominance, you pulled Cassandra into your arms. His slender body now felt warm and full of vitality because of your blood flowing in his veins. You lifted him up easily, holding him tightly as if he was the most precious treasure in the world.
Mmuachh!
You kissed her lips with a deep, triumphant kiss, the sound of the kiss echoing in the silence of the hall. Cassandra was shocked for a moment, her pale face blushing red, her sharp fangs sticking out slightly from the overflowing passion. He wraps his arms around your neck, reciprocating your kiss with pure hunger and adoration.
Thousands of black flies buzz softly around you, forming a deadly vortex of love, hiding you for a moment in sweet darkness.
"Amazing..." Lady Dimitrescu muttered, a smile of triumph etched on her blood-red lips. He raised his wine glass towards you. "For the future of the new Dimitrescu Family. For my Son and my Daughter."
Bela and Daniela bowed deeply, their sickles lowered to the floor. "Congratulations to you both," they said in unison, their voices trembling between fear and respect.
In your arms, Cassandra let go of her kiss, panting. Her yellow eyes glistened with happiness that she had never felt before.
"You're really crazy, Zak," he whispers right in your ear, his rose-scented breath touching the skin of your neck that has now fully recovered. "But now... You are the king of this castle, and I am your queen."
Pov : *Suddenly Cassandra bites my neck* *with full passion*
The great hall that had been quiet was instantly filled with the crazed hiss of the wings of a fly. In your seconds, Cassandra lost control of her predatory instincts. The overwhelming passion of your victory and the intoxicating scent of your body sparked an irresistible thirst.
KRESSSH!
His sharp fangs pierced deeply into the black veins in your neck. You could feel his body shaking violently as he sucked your hot, powerful Megamycete blood. The grip of his hand on the shoulder of your velvety suit was so strong that the expensive fabric was slightly torn, exposing your firm shoulder muscles.
Lady Dimitrescu slowly put down her wine glass, her eyes narrowing at the scene so intense before her. She did not stop him; instead, she seemed to enjoy the wild spectacle of "union" between her beloved daughter and the man who had transgressed the limits of man.
Bela and Daniela took a step back, their faces pale. They could feel the aura of energy emanating from the two of you—a resonance of power that made the flies throughout the castle buzz in terrible harmony.
"Zak... your blood... this is too... beautiful..." Cassandra muttered between her sucks, her voice hoarse and full of ecstasy.
Your blood flowing into his body not only feeds him, but also burns off the remnants of his weakness. You feel your regeneration work twice as fast; every drop he takes is immediately replaced by new energy drawn from your core of strength. You don't feel weak, but rather feel more and more dominant.
You stand as firm as a stone pillar, letting him hang on to your neck while still holding him with one strong hand. A faint smile still adorns your handsome face. You are his source of life now.
"Enough, Cassandra," Lady Dimitrescu's voice finally broke the atmosphere, her tone full of authority but there was a hint of laughter in it. "Don't let you finish our 'King' on his first night."
Cassandra released her bite slowly, her tongue sweeping away the remnants of red blood at the corners of her lips. His yellow eyes were now glowing with a golden color that was much brighter than before. He looks at you with a look that is completely submissive, at the same time full of obsessive love.
"I'm sorry, Zak," he whispered, his breath hunting in front of your face. "I can't help it. Wait... You're too perfect."
Me : "Bite again if you want, I have more than enough for you": Demonstrate your infinite regenerative power.
Pov : *soon I drooped profusely and went back to being a normal human being with no strength*
"Bite again if you want," you whispered in a low authoritative tone, "I have more than enough for you."
Cassandra, who had already lost her mind due to the euphoria of your power, didn't wait for a second command. She buried her fangs again, this time deeper, sucking the essence flowing in your veins with unimaginable greed. You felt the Megamycete's heat flow move massively from your body to hers.
However, something strange happened.
Your heartbeat, which was as strong as the hammer of Heisenberg, began to slow down. Your regeneration speed that was instantly instantly stalled suddenly. The golden yellow light in your eyes dims, replaced by the original black color of your eyes. A velvet coat that felt light now feels very heavy on your shoulders.
BRUISE.
Your knees hit the cold marble floor. Your grip on Cassandra's body weakens until she slips out of your embrace. You gasped, cold sweat drenching your now pale forehead. The smell of black roses that dominated the room vanished instantly, replaced by the scent of ordinary humans—blood, sweat, and exhaustion.
You go back to the old Zak. Normal humans. No speed of light, no wall-crushing power. Just a young man who had just given everything to the woman he loved.
Cassandra gasped, releasing her bite in horror. He stood upright, his body now exuding an aura of immense power—an aura that once belonged to you. He looked at his hand, then looked at you drooping limply on the floor.
"Zak...?" he whispered, his voice trembling. "What happened? Your power... I can feel it inside of me, but you..."
Lady Dimitrescu stood up from her throne, her eyes widened. He stepped forward, towering over you. He breathed in air, then his expression turned into a terrible cold. "That scent... his Megamycete power is gone. He returned to be... humans."
Bela and Daniela slowly approached, their scythes clinking on the floor. The respect they had shown earlier began to fade, replaced by hunger that began to rise again when they smelled the smell of a helpless normal human.
"Look at that," hissed Daniela, "our hero has run out of gas. It smells like it now... very delicious."
Cassandra immediately stands in front of you, spreading her arms wide to protect you. His flies buzzed fiercely towards his brothers. "Don't you dare touch it! He gave me his power! He did it for me!"
Alcina Dimitrescu looks at you with a look that is hard to define—between disappointment at losing your "masterpiece" and amazement at your sacrifice. "You gave your divinity for love, Zak? It was the stupidest thing... and the bravest thing I've ever seen."
You looked up, your breath still heavy, staring at Cassandra who was now your protector. You didn't have any more power, but you still had her love that was now ten times stronger.
Me : *i'm fainting*
