Chapter 121: 2 Pride-Crushing Defeat in 3 Days

As the door opened, I saw Eleanor looking at me in confusion, however, such stare just lasted for a second as her eyes suddenly glistened in a rather malevolent look, she locked her gaze to my hands that were still in tight grasp of my breasts, I also looked down at this rather embarrassing sight as I slowly undid my grip, even so, the shining gaze from Eleanor did not stop, she checked me out up and down, starting from my lips that became exceptionally rosy because of my now pale white skin and trailed down my neck.

The new lumps created by my newly found mountain ranges, slim waist, and wide thighs were not spared by her almost figuratively stripping gaze, even I, who considers myself a shameless person started to feel uncomfortable, especially so if I am at the receiving end of something I am doing to her on almost if not in a daily basis, if I am not her fiancé, I am sure that my thought will be: Raping me with her eyes.

_Is this what she felt when I used my marital liberty to design a cleavage-revealing Filipiniana? It's uncomfortable, but somehow, I am quite glad that she can also look at me this way..._

I took a mental note of this, even though I don't know if gods can be trusted in general and I sure as hell am inclining on trusting them, what Sinag said should be real, I don't have a choice but to assume as such because if I did not and it turned out to be true, this world will take a turn after I make a real move against the white elves and I will be unprepared, so I need to make up my mind on things to clear up the fog inside my head.

Sigh, I never imagined that I have to make self-discovery a priority when I am a queen pincered between the two strongest nations and a civil war.

"Ah, a power-up? Just like before?"

It seems like Eleanor is acting quite weird today and she has even noticed it. However, she is not doing anything to stop it, actually, she gained more confidence in her eyes. Though I can't be so sure because her self-esteem is already at a very queen-like level that makes it so that she can injure a prince and assert dominance without even stuttering, so I can't be so sure.

"Yes, it has been a long time since I evolved, and in such a drastic manner too."

I smiled in which Eleanor nodded too, she then entered my room still donning the see-through dress she had been wearing while she was sleeping, well, it seemed like we were getting into the grind with this new body of mine, seeing Eleanor locking the door and turning the soundproofing magic circle on gave my theory a thumbs up in my head.

Hearing my reply, Eleanor smiled too, her eyes not even leaving an aorta of a second away from my hips. I went and shifted my position so that we faced directly and spread both sides of the skirt of the one-piece dress as I smiled and asked.

"Well, do you like it?"

Upon hearing such a question Eleanor nodded and answered with a "Very much so.", now I do wonder how will she serenade me from doing it with her.

_Oh, I know._

I have a light bulb idea in my head as I smirked, I questioned her.

"Oh, are you here to officially claim your position as the head researcher and mayor of Magayon?"

While asking that, I walked towards my table while not breaking eye contact with her as I sat at it and crossed my now rather shapely legs against each other, Eleanor also calmly walked in front of me as she nodded.

"Well, at first yes... but you see..."

After saying such a line, she disappeared from my line of sight, yes, disappeared, this is relevant to my current strength which I think is at the very least stronger than Hebi (this makes me wonder if the system was trolling me by not giving me this power up during the fight.), that means she has moved way faster than what my dynamic vision can see and appeared in front of me, this left me quite shocked as an amused and bad feeling raised in my heart.

"Huh?"

Despite that, I didn't want to ruin the mood so I made a sound as if I was wondering whilst putting one of my hands on my knees, but to my surprise, Eleanor slowly walked towards me as she appeared about 3 steps in front, and with a force that shouldn't belong to a pure mage or a researcher, she grabbed my hand upward whilst her other hand gripped my knee and spread open my legs, these series of developments made my eyes open wide as I look at my wife who has a mischievous grin on her face.

"... How can I not take this chance to make you feel all the things you have put me through whenever night takes over the day?"

As Eleanor said that, she did not waste any time as she leaned in and went for my lips, I exerted force, quite a lot of them to recoil, yet to no avail as I can only fall for her tongue's lascivious machinations whilst I try to close my legs quite forcefully, obviously, I was enjoying this situation quite a bit, but the question still remains on how did she become stronger than me, did she gain a unique skill that makes her stronger the more people she has made bloat and explode? That was the question that lingered on my mind for a long time.

_Ah, it doesn't matter, I'm sure she'll say it to me after this._

My mind started to waver its reason and my eyes also started to wane, and the only thing I remember (not really) is how Eleanor removed my new dress as I went towards the abyss of submissive pleasure.

Well, needless to say, I have experienced 2 pride-crushing defeats in three days.

________

I looked at the ceiling of my office whilst I relish the feeling of the cold stone floor whilst my wife is panting on top of me, we are laying flat on the floor in a daze as we ignored the wetness we can feel in our crotches and our bodies, it has been 30 minutes since Eleanor displayed to me the other side that she was always in, well, she had made me cum 3 times in those half an hour, it seems like she's practicing by experience.

_No, what am I doing assessing how I was clapped by my wife..._

That is not the most important part here, the fact that she can overpower me for a moment before she seems to run out of gas is what surprised me, it feels like even if I punched her in the face to stop her from doing a move to me, she would have knocked me out unconscious and do it anyway, though now that I felt how to receive pleasurable torments, that might not sound so bad...

[Stop messing around.]

Right, right, anyway, Eleanor also left her dazed state as she looked at me with her smile shining, it seemed like she felt refreshed, is she still mad at those people who killed her friend I wonder, anyway, seeing that she had completely recovered, I asked whilst patting her head.

"So, do I just give you the position or what?"

Hearing this, Eleanor suddenly gasped as she used her hand to push her body upwards, she exclaimed.

"That's right! I was so shocked by your new appearance that I forgot what I wanted to talk about!"

I looked at her silently, though I was wondering if that was all the reason why I got suddenly topped by my bottom, but in any case, upon hearing what she just said, I made the 4th dimension appear in our dresses and made it fall to our bedroom whilst I also made it appeared at my back, after that, we fell into our soft bed. After the post-nut clarity, we immediately realized that we had delayed an official meeting, so I immediately grabbed my dress that was safe from all the wetness and instructed the spiders in my drawer to create underwear that fit my new sizes, after waiting for a short while, I put them on and put on my dress as well, Eleanor was back on her priestess outfit too.

We went back to the office and cleaned the puddle we made, and only after all that, Eleanor finally spoke.

"After I fought with the devils and vampires, I gained the goddess of nature's fancy and became her hero prospect, she gave me the unique skill [Defiance.]"

Eleanor said as she explained the changes on her stats, to my surprise, it changed a lot compared to how I changed back then.

[Well, the goddess of nature is quite the generous goddess from the undead pantheon, so I am sure that unlike you who has a very scrutinizing and quite fickle god, she is very caring of her prospects and makes sure that they stand tall among their peers, look at her unique skill.]

I nodded at this observation as Eleanor continued to explain her unique skill, apparently, her skill goes like this:

[Defiance lvl. 1]: The user can defy the rules of nature, may it be organic or man-made.

Abilities:

[Inorganic Defiance]: One can defy an aspect of a situation he or she created him/herself, if the user is weaker in strength, then the user will be stronger for that duration of the fight, same as speed or knowledge, but only one aspect at a time.

[Organic Defiance]: For 1 second per 100,000 mana, the user will be able to bend the laws of nature from scientific to magical ones to her will (current duration 1 second).

Well, that is very generous, or that's what I should say when I did not consider the fact that Eleanor is a researcher, healer, and strategist before a fighter. Sure, enough that is what she is worried about the most right now.

"You see, the [Inorganic Defiance] might sound broken, but a glaring weakness is that I can only surpass a person in one aspect in one opening of the skill and I need to turn it off and on again to surpass another aspect, that will make me most vulnerable due to the fact that I am not a trained fighter, so I wanted to make it so that Magayon will temporarily be under my second in command whilst we spar until I get my switching on and off to a passable speed, I have tried this skill when moving around while you are sleeping, and I need 3 seconds to do that, this will undo the advantage given to me by the skill."

Well, one should remember that Eleanor participated in wars because she's a lead healer and backup planner if things get awry, she's a poor soldier who is trained to become a room officer and just improved herself desperately because of me, actually she is used in using just one simple skill.

I cannot help but sigh at this.

"Alright, let me call Agilus for a second."

I did not hesitate to help her out to decrease her switch off/on time, the ideal one will be of course is how I switched with skills that take almost an instant, but when you are not a fighter, then I think it should be more around 0.5 seconds, maybe give and take .1, we will need to work hard in that department, so I have decided to cancel all of my appointments this week to dedicate my time in helping my wife, I used wind magic to create several orders to them, I can just give it to them by 4th dimension but I missed my little bird so I made her a dimension pouch that suits his small size and made him deliver the message to all the people that will be affected by this decision.

I also called on Bakunawa to be the spectator and help us if we need it, though she'll be a referee for sure, this world only has heroes (there are no demon lords here, I wonder why), but I am way stronger than them, giving me the right to be one of the few colleagues of Urduja, this aspect made her a not very qualified sparring partner because she's just a hero prospect too (also, she's a captain, so I can't have her fighting all day). As I was thinking of that, Bakunawa transformed into a giant serpent and looked for an empty clearing.

The clearing is many kilometers away from Bulawan city or any part of Indio as they might become terrified of this fight, I have decided to organize an initial spar so that I can assess how can she use the unique skill in real-life applications and also what training do I have to put her through so that she can reduce her time fast, Bakunawa stood in the middle of us and said.

"Lady Sophia here is set to hold back in a level of a hero prospect to protect the life of Lady Eleanor. You can only use punches and kicks, no magic, no skills, no nothing not related to what I have mentioned earlier. Is that understood?"

Eleanor was gulping continuously and it made me wonder how did she became confident earlier as she nodded, I also nodded, and upon seeing this, Bakunawa raised her hand and swung it down hard.

"BEGIN!"
