For the next five minutes, silence reigned in this whole area, except for the faint, crackling voice coming from the red whirlwind.
During this time, Aezaleon had also collected himself and was already on his feet, standing ten meters away from the red clouds when suddenly, he started sensing the formation of a new type of connection. It was a much weaker and less deep bond compared to his connection with Clementine, but it was strong nonetheless. A blood connection began to form and take shape between the two calamities and him.
After thirty seconds since this process started, the blood clouds also began dissipating slowly. As the two blurry figures became clear inside the red clouds at the sixty-second mark, the mist exploded outward in a surge of gases and winds, exposing the naked figures of two beautiful women before Aezaleon, before disappearing entirely.
"Mm," one murmured.
"Um," the other whispered.
In a few seconds, they fully came to be. Both women looked around in confusion and curiosity, their crimson eyes blinking as they tried to make out their situation. Soon, their gaze landed on Aezaleon and Clementine standing some distance away from them, observing them attentively.
"Master Ezodious," both uttered simultaneously, their words flowing out with absolute clarity.
The greeting flowed out with a faint yet rather pleasant voice, a soft feminine sound that was exceedingly pleasing to the ears. Subsequently, without wasting another second, they shot towards Aezaleon. He was not able to react one bit, or more like he did not even have the time to realize what happened, when the two covered the ten-meter distance in a mere millisecond. This showed without words that they had become even stronger upon gaining sentience.
However, then the unexpected happened. The two voluptuous girls, instead of attacking, hugged him tightly, licking his face at the same time and quite actively too. Aezaleon, on the other hand, was left thoroughly stunned, not knowing how to react in this kind of situation. He looked towards Clementine, asking for help with his eyes. As these two girls were truly strong, he could not even move an inch in their embrace, let alone stop them. Moreover, considering the brutal battle he had just gone through, resisting these two appeared to be an absolute impossibility now.
Meanwhile, Clementine watched her husband with an amused expression. "He is even capable of giving beast-type calamities a humanoid form. It is rare, but not that rare considering he is a humanoid calamity himself," she mumbled in a low voice, her tone echoing in quiet contemplation. She also remembered that any calamity was capable of taking on a humanoid form when it transcended mortality.
"Girls, you are causing me pain," Aezaleon muttered through gritted teeth, his breath hitched in genuine discomfort.
Although he truly wanted to enjoy the feeling of their supple bodies very much, he could not. Their grip was simply too much. It was painful, a sensation his recovering body was still exceedingly sensitive to. However, the two women did not listen at all. They seemed already lost in their instincts, keeping up their actions by licking and kissing all over his face and neck, with their grips getting stronger with each passing second.
'Ugh... Clementine, don't just stand there idly. Get these two women off me, it hurts you know!' he shouted inwardly, glancing at her. To which she simply rolled her eyes.
"What are you crying for? They are merely showing their appreciation for you," she remarked in a dismissive tone, her words carrying a heavy layer of playful ridicule. Completely ignoring his pleading look, she continued, "They are grateful for freeing them from their savage states, not killing them, and giving them something they thought was impossible. The two girls are simply showing this feeling of utter gratification in the only way they know. Their minds have just recently developed, so give them some time to let their raging emotions calm down first."
'For real, but here, I'm dying in pain though!' he grumbled.
Now feeling confused about what to do, he wondered whether he should suffer or find a way to stop them. Currently, with them having become the first members of his family, he definitely did not want to make them sad, especially not when they finally had the freedom to express themselves and see the world properly.
Clementine, on feeling his inner conflict, sighed. "I cannot believe a pushover like you is the man I chose to be my husband. Perhaps I was too hasty," she commented with a teasing smirk.
On hearing her remark, Aezaleon's lips twitched and he wanted to retort but could not because of his current situation. 'Guess I can at least feel the plumpness of their skin at the cost of this suffering!' He smiled wryly at his own thoughts. He did not consider himself a pushover, just that...
"Are you a retard? Instead of having these useless thoughts, don't you remember you also have formed a connection similar to mine with them? Albeit a weaker one, it should still be enough for you to share your emotions with them. If the two aren't in a state to listen, then just share your feelings directly; that should be enough to tell them that you're in pain because of their actions, and they would stop. Can't you understand this simple thing? Are you sure you really have a strong will, when you can't even think straight when in pain?" Clementine scoffed, her voice stinging with complete exasperation.
'This woman...'
However, Aezaleon did not feel grateful at all for her advice. He wasn't some millennium-old monster who had suffered through the vicissitudes of life and forged her will through those harsh experiences. Not to mention, letting go of his literal age, this physical pain was different from the one he suffered in battle, so of course his mind reacted differently too, making him temporarily forget his basic abilities.
He exhaled deeply and shared his discomfort through the connection with the two women embracing him with all their might, making them instantly snap out of their trance-like state. They gasped, their crimson eyes going wide. Subsequently, their grips weakened, and just as they were about to take a timid step back, Aezaleon used his now free hands to take them in his embrace instead, wrapping his arms around their amazing waists.
"It's alright, you don't have to worry, I am fine now," he voiced with a gentle smile, his demeanor softening completely.
"Ah... we... we are sorry, Master Ezodious!" one stammered.
"We—we didn't know!" the other cried out.
They spoke and wanted to continue but did not find the words. They themselves were quite confused about everything that had happened and needed some time to collect their minds and compose themselves.
"You know my name? How?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"That..."
"We don't know, we just know it and we feel it," the first one answered, looking into his eyes with an expression that was serious and innocent at once. "You are Aezaleon Eyne Ezodious! Master Ezodious. The one who gave meaning to our meaningless and savage lives." Her voice was calm but deep enough to convey exactly how she viewed him.
"Hm. Hm," the other nodded quickly. "I... I feel the same too, Master Ezodious!" she added in a soft tone, her words leaking total reverence.
Aezaleon nodded. "Alright, we will talk more later. For now, let's give you two a proper name—expressions which will always define you from now on and in the infinite future." His lips curled into a gentle expression as he gave them a look. "Afterwards, I will also form the Eternal Oath with the both of you too."
"A—A name!" one gasped.
"Indeed. Give me a moment, alright," Aezaleon commented, patting the orange-red and the violet-red heads of his two girls. Subsequently, he turned towards Clementine. "Do you have any suggestions? I don't think I'm all that good at naming. I do not have the needed knowledge, so I won't be able to come up with good ones," he requested in a humble voice.
Both the girls looked at him and Clementine with an excited and expectant expression. If one did not look at their very sinful bodies, they would clearly be able to see that the two girls genuinely behaved like innocent children right now. Their eager expressions brightened the space around them.
Meanwhile, Clementine had a thoughtful expression. In a minute, she looked at the two girls again.
