Chapter 463 - Deciding The Fighters
-----
Frank was given a challenge!
And he, of course…
"Very well. I accept." Said Frank.
He accepted!
Clementine smiled happily; her eyes flashed with bright crimson-red.
"Good. Don't regret this later, young man." She said.
"F-Frank… You're really going to fight?" asked Kaguya in surprise.
"Indeed, I will pick you." Said Frank.
"W-What?!" asked Kaguya.
"And Sadako too." Said Frank.
"Eh? Me?" asked Sadako.
"You two NEED to fight. You represent your own clans. I also want to see how far you can go." Said Frank.
"Fine… But don't go overboard thinking I can do a lot because I can't." said Kaguya.
"Why not? Aren't you the granddaughter of Amaterasu?" asked Frank.
"That's right, but… it has been a long time since I have trained my magic power. Even less used it while fighting! I-I don't know I could…" muttered Kaguya.
"Kaguya what's wrong with you? Weren't you all mighty and brave before?" asked Gwendolyn.
"I… You're right… I shouldn't act like this… I will do it… I don't care anymore." Said Kaguya.
Kaguya realized that even with her insecurities, she was representing her own clan and could not falter before the challenge. She had to do everything she could to fight and show her might to the Vampires. Her fire attribute was also effective against them, so it should be possible for her to win, somehow!
"Thank you." Said Frank, as he petted her face. Making her flustered, shyly blushing a bit. she was honestly a cute woman.
"No, I was chickening out for now reason, I guess I should be more prideful of my own powers. Sometimes I forget who I am." Sighed Kaguya, smiling cutely.
"And thank you for waking me up, Gwendolyn-sama. You're a very admirable mother." Said Kaguya.
"Ah, don't worry about that dear." Said Gwendolyn.
"So… When are you sleeping with Frank?" she added.
"E-Eh?"
"I don't think that's a good thing to ask in this situation, Gwendolyn… Please cut it off." Sighed Frank.
"Ohoho! It was just a way to say that I accept her." Said Gwendolyn.
"T-Thanks, I am glad to receive the abbreviation of my lord's first wife. I-I will make sure to show my devotion and love for him in this fight." Said Kaguya, nodding confidently.
It seems that the idea of sleeping with Frank had suddenly pumped up Kaguya even more than before, even smoke began to come out of her nose as her eyes flashed with determination…
Gwendolyn herself had been acting quite mischievously lately. Perhaps giving birth triggered some kind of hormone within her that made her more… daring.
Nonetheless, Frank decided to shrug this problem off his shoulders for now, and concentrated into the current challenge.
"Then aside from Kaguya and Sadako, I will pick… Gwendolyn and…" Frank looked over his group.
"Axitl." He said.
He was going all out, picking his two strongest wives right off the bat!
"I wanted to participate too…" sighed Kamei.
"Me too!" said Orb angrily.
"I am thankful that I didn't participate." Said Clishya.
"I would had loved to crush some skulls." Said Cathyl.
"I wouldn't had minded…" said Vheslia.
Clementine, seeing the eagerness of the girls, suddenly decided something else.
"Hm, how about this? let's make them two against two." She said.
"Two against two?!" asked Frank.
"Indeed! How's that? Now all your friends can be happy, we have enough manpower for four more of mine. And well, how about this other change? Harumi, join me, and Matsuo, you join Frank." Said Clementine, her smile seemed almost sadistic!
"EH?!"
She just wanted to make friends turn against each other?!
"But mother, I won't stand a chance against those brutes!" Said Harumi.
"But Harumi, you're strong, aren't you? We had been training all this time for years, do you truly believe you're weak?" asked Clementine.
"Eh? But… our training… I wasn't able to grow stronger, I am still at S-Rank at most." Said Harumi.
"I suppose it is about time for mommy to let her little girl unleash her true potential." Said Clementine.
Clementine suddenly kissed Harumi's forehead, like she always does.
"Huh?"
FLASH!
And suddenly, several crimson-red runes around her forehead began to emerge and spread across her entire body! Harumi felt as if her power started to multiply exponentially!
No, it wasn't merely powering up out of nowhere… this powerup came from her original power?!
"W-What is the meaning of this?!" she asked.
"Harumi, you were born naturally powerful. You were an oddity amongst oddities. A Half-Vampire, a Dhampir, with parents that were not even from our prestigious families, yet the power coming from you… was immense even as a baby. Due to that is that you were able to survive in that basement for so many days, even when your mother had passed away… When I first encountered you, I had to seal this power for you to not go rampant… This is a truth I wanted to reveal to you before, but I could not… When you felt sickly, and strange, or even when you felt like you had more weight over your shoulders than you should, it was because this power from within you kept trying to get out, and with each kiss, I reinforced it." Said Clementine.
"Me… I am that powerful?"
FLASH!
Suddenly, Harumi's aura became…
Divine!
She had become a Demigoddess right off the bat!
"After training with such a restrain for years after years, you got used to these restrains, and even surpassed your own limits in such a weakened state, which was perhaps more than 500 times weaker than you were originally… this power, after being unleashed now, had been enhanced to incredible heights, and therefore, you might be close to reach my own Realm." Said Clementine, even the Vampires were left speechless!
"I am… that strong…?!" muttered Harumi.
"Now, Frank, does it seems fair to you?" asked Clementine, smiling devilishly.
"Heh, I never expected this plot twist… Interesting! Alright, Harumi, go easy on us." Said Frank.
"I don't know… But I will try." Said Harumi, nodding.
"Y-You don't realize I am not a Demigod yet… right?" sighed Matsuo.
