Chapter 81: Nagasawa's Changes
"Hey, stop playing with poison!" Dante scolded Naga, who was tossing poison back and forth like a child who had just gotten a new toy.
"Look, it's really cool." She hurled it at Dante, who quickly dodged. "IT'S NOT COOL!" Dante spoke, glancing back where the poison had corroded part of Lilith's painting.
[Poison Manipulation] This was a skill Naga gained when she turned into a vampire. It was the first time Dante had seen it up close, but he felt puzzled by the occurrence. He thought she would gain fire manipulation, like him and Valentina, but apparently, she only had poison manipulation.
"Are you done playing? Where's that reserved woman I knew?" Dante questioned as he approached her.
He already knew Nagasawa wasn't quite who she appeared to be, which was why he was afraid to turn her into a vampire. He needed a lot of blood to enhance the level of his blood and not affect her too much during the transformation.
"Aren't you angry about turning her into a vampire?" Dante asked with a downcast look. In truth, he was very afraid of being hurt in some way.
"Angry? This is the happiest day of my life," Nagasawa replied, surprising Dante.
"Huh?" Dante was confused, seeing the change in the woman before him.
"What? Did you think I'd be sad because I can't go out into the human world? Or taste? I don't even care about those things. What always interested me was being strong. Now I can be strong forever," Nagasawa said, and Dante continued to be shocked by the woman's change in attitude.
"Come on, Dante, I already told you about the facade I carried from my own family, how I couldn't properly practice martial arts, and how I'm tortured by a weak mana core. After all that, do you really think I'd care about becoming a vampire?" Nagasawa questioned. Although he was right, Dante still kind of... didn't really believe her.
"I still..." Dante was a bit confused...
"Dante, my family is a bunch of losers who can only be cured by the death of the entire clan. I came to Kryoris to escape them because I wasn't strong enough. In short, you've given me everything I've ever wanted. Independence, strength, and, above all, a man who can take care of me. I'm living a dream now," she said, smiling happily.
"A man to take care of you?" Dante questioned.
"Yes, do you think after saying 'You're not mine yet' and literally bringing me back to life, I'm going to let you go so easily?" Nagasawa said in a serious tone.
"I got it, damn it," Dante thought, but he didn't want to rush things.
"Though I'm not yours until I decide if that's really what I want, my emotions are confused, so give me my time," Nagasawa said, declaring herself alongside.
Nagasawa's body evolved naturally. Previously, her physique was slimmer and less muscular due to issues with her body, but now? She was a new woman. She had abs on her stomach, her arms were muscular and sleek, a perfect combination of strength and grace. She was now Dante's height. Both were between 5'9" and 5'11".
Dante, if he didn't have much control, would be drooling over her right now.
"So, what do we do now?" Nagasawa asked as she looked at Dante.
Dante looked back and it really was all in ruins. Almost all of Lilith's paintings, but one in particular was completely normal; it was the one representing the World Tree.
"Come on, let's check that out," he said, and she followed him.
"What was that?" Naga asked as she looked at the broken painting, and Dante simply responded in a simple manner while examining what was left intact.
"The story of Lilith," Dante commented.
"Move aside." He said and filled his fist with black flame, preparing to destroy the wall.
BOOOOOMMM
Dante's fist completely obliterated the wall in front of him, revealing a long corridor leading to a door. Debris was lightly shaken, and an earthquake occurred around them.
"Damn! THERE'S MORE FLOORS!" He spoke and began to run. "HURRY UP!" Nagasawa followed quickly as they arrived at the door.
"Open it fast!" Nagasawa said, and Dante simply punched it again, blowing the door open.
"FOR GOD'S SAKE, STOP BREAKING THINGS!" She roared, and Dante pretended not to hear anything.
"Shut up, we have work to do," Dante said, and various creatures emerged from the darkness of the place.
"Give me the Nunchakos," Nagasawa said.
"No," he replied, pouting. "They're mine."
"Hey, you idiot, you have Durandal, give me this crap here," Nagasawa said, ordering, and Dante lowered his head...
'I should have turned you into a servant...' He pondered but shook his head.
"I guess it's our first time," Dante commented.
"Indeed."
"Let's crush them and get back to the surface."
"We have a lot of work to do, with three individuals," she commented.
"Eye for an eye."
"Tooth for a tooth."
Both spoke together, "Blood for blood."
They both advanced upon the horde of opposing monsters, supporting each other in the total carnage ahead of them. Dante didn't hesitate for a second. After turning Nagasawa into a vampire and drinking her blood, which was much purer compared to others, he regained almost all of his energy, just as Nagasawa did the same.
The synchrony between them was phenomenal, as if they had known each other for thousands of years. While Nagasawa attacked, Dante defended, and vice versa. They began to invade different floors, one after another, and this continued for days. Dante's strength began to return gradually, and Nagasawa started to get used to her vampire body.
For her, everything was fine, and she only wanted one thing: to get out of this infernal pit and devastate those who threw her into this hole. Despite now not thinking it's so bad being stuck in this place with this man.
They will continue to survive regardless of the challenge, now with Nagasawa in her Rogue form, it was impossible for them to die without fighting
