Chapter 109: Mother of the Night
Strax saw that woman smiling at him sarcastically, she seemed laid-back and relaxed, completely different from the serious and slightly sarcastic Black Phoenix he had met when he returned to this city...
"X-xyn?" he questioned, unable to understand how that strange bird had transformed into this... beautiful woman? He didn't know how to categorize Xyn now; she just seemed like a very attractive woman who fit many of his tastes... after all, who doesn't like a goth? And well, in his experiences before reincarnating, he was a big fan of goths...
"Ouch!" He felt a slap on his head, and of course, it was a very jealous woman feeling a bit of what he felt through their deep spiritual connection caused by assimilation. "Keep that thing in your pants and don't even think about anything with her, or I'll cut it off," Ouroboros said, very serious, much more serious than the relaxed and perverted woman he had seen before. She was just... nervous.
"Oh, does the snake want to fight?" Xyn said, provoking Ouroboros, who was near her limit, and Strax just watched... "Why are they fighting?" He thought, looking at Xenovia, who shrugged, responding with gestures, "Who knows?"
Strax and the girls just watched them as it seemed like lightning bolts were shooting from their eyes as they clashed in front of them. The room had a very strange atmosphere, very strange.
"Don't you dare try to put your filthy paws on my master," Ouroboros said, pointing a finger at Xyn. "Wow, what's so special about this boy? What has this turned into? I'm just here to talk, I have no interest in a simple human child," Xyn said, smiling. For some reason, Strax felt as if he were being attacked...
"Human child?! How dare you!" Ouroboros started to walk towards Xyn, but Tiamat held her by the arms. "Calm down!" Tiamat said, pulling the milf back. "Calm down? No way! I'm going to kick this bitch out!
She insulted our master, don't you have any pride?!" Ouroboros said, struggling against Tiamat's strong arms.
"I have pride, but she's clearly attacking you and not our master. Show some class; our master is much more important than a little bird in a cage," Tiamat said, clearly being more rational than Ouroboros. Well, we can see who the brains are and who are the muscles.
"I don't know where you got the idea that I would steal your master, but again, I'm here to talk, and I have no interest in relationships. He's not even my type," Xyn said, pointing at Strax, who again felt attacked.
"Oh, you... you really became a big target now. You will be mine even if I have to destroy an entire kingdom to create a masterpiece body for you three..." he thought, looking at her with a completely possessive gaze.
"Ah~ You did it, huh..." The noise of the fight completely faded with Beatrice's sigh, which was so loud and weary, like a whisper of boredom that made everyone stare at her, not understanding what had happened. She felt the gazes of all those crazy women and pointed at Strax, who was standing still, almost obsessed with Xyn.
"You did it, congratulations," she said with a somewhat sad and upset face...
"Now it will take even longer for him to defile me in that room upstairs... ah~ how hard it is to be the wife of a womanizer," she sighed as if it were his fault for having so many crazy women in one place.
"I went into a coma, and when I came back, not only does his sister want to sleep with him, but two dragons do too, and now this, this hot goth who says she doesn't want anything, but I already know exactly what will happen... oh, what a difficult life I have, you know?" Beatrice finished, sitting on the couch and laying her head on Monica's lap, almost begging for head pats... "Oh dear...
pfff." Monica couldn't hold it in either; she was about to laugh at the situation, but Beatrice's statements, to say the least, were... strange, making everyone stay silent, looking at the woman resting on the maid's lap.
"Anyway, why are you here?" Strax broke the silence, questioning Xyn, not Xenovia. After all, it seemed like the one who wanted to see him was Xyn, not Xenovia.
"I came to see the physique. I already imagined this would happen, but it's better to see it in person." Xyn said with a mischievous smile on her lips as she sat in an armchair with open arms. "Besides, I have to see if you'll live long enough for that crazy girl over there to enjoy love." She said, pointing at Xenovia, who was still standing with her arms crossed.
"Oh, she's still mad that you left and didn't take her with you," Xyn said, looking at the Black Dragoness, who was still staring at her as if pointing a sword at her. "Hey, calm down too. You know how we Phoenixes are, I would never want a Dragon by my side. Dragons and Phoenixes are mortal enemies." Xyn said, her eyes shining as if challenging Ouroboros to a duel.
"That still doesn't answer why you're here, Xyn," Tiamat spoke first now, still holding Ouroboros. "Besides, I'm sure that just like us, the seal of that bastard was preventing you from using your human form. What happened?" She asked, receiving only a smile from Xyn, who turned to look at Strax, her piercing eyes seeming to read his soul. "Stop that," Tiamat said, "And answer the question."
"How can I put this... It seems that this man destroyed that bastard's mark," Xyn said, shrugging. "When I saw it break, I just pushed and managed to awaken my missing potential. Now, I'm almost completely free, and that sword no longer holds me," Xyn said with a smile that made Tiamat and Ouroboros... furious.
"Hey, you wretch... you came here to mock us because we're stuck to swords?" The atmosphere changed completely as an invisible pressure hit everyone in the place, including Strax... It was Ouroboros.
"Hm? No, I came here to tell you that you should stay with this boy for the rest of your lives." Xyn said, completely breaking the tension. "What did you say?" Ouroboros questioned incredulously, not expecting to hear that from her.
"That's right. It seems the boy has much more than just a physique; he's a complete genius. You've only recently met him, but I've been observing him for a long time. This boy must already be thinking about how to create bodies for you, considering how he was looking at you earlier with so much desire." Xyn said, and the two dragons quickly looked at him, who just turned his face away...
"Are you... are you thinking about that?" Tiamat questioned, a bit shaky... Gaining a physical body is something very different from a contract or something like that. It was giving them a new life, a life in which they didn't even know what it would be like. It was like reviving someone... and this man was thinking of giving bodies to two dragons?
How could someone be so... irresponsible?
Creating a body for a dragon is not simple. On the contrary, it's an almost impossible task for an ordinary being. Normal homunculi cannot host immense souls like theirs. It was actually... such an impossible desire that they had already accepted being just spirits until Strax died and transformed into a spirit to be with them.
They were not like Xyn, who, if she died as a spirit, would be reborn as a phoenix. They only had one chance in this life and one body, and when they died, they became spirits against their will.
"Yeah... I got caught," Strax said, raising his hands in surrender. "You..." Ouroboros murmured, her eyes looking somewhat strange...
"As I said, I came here just to talk. That girl bothered me to try to help her with Strax, but I'm not foolish enough to let her throw herself at an idiot who wants to revive two dragons. So I came here to see if my suspicions were correct." Xyn said, insulting Strax repeatedly, which was starting to make him angry. Was every word from this woman's mouth just a way to attack him? What had he done!?
"Unfortunately, he really wants to take two Primordial Dragons for himself," she said with a sigh. "I've already warned her about the problems, and even so, she refused to listen, so there's nothing I can do about it." Xyn seemed tired, "Now, let's talk about what really matters." She looked at Strax seriously.
Her hands trembled for a moment, and two black feathers appeared between her fingers. "Black Phoenix Feathers," Ouroboros said, looking at them with awe. It was something she shouldn't even be able to produce with her current power...

"Hm?" Strax quickly read the message while paying attention to Xyn, "I wish to make a deal with you, Dragon," she said, looking into Strax's eyes, which changed completely to a reptilian red eye upon hearing that.
