15 – Successes and Learning!

—————————

PART 1 – More Successes!

—————————

Skarla was in a great mood; her plans worked out, and it was all because of one person: Melania!

What did the reckless and spoiled young woman do?

See, she created an enmity, making tension very high between her and her family. Because of Melania, Skarla was seen as a stupid, reckless young woman who doesn't know how the world works and who is overconfident in her strength.

Because of this, Letiphia must have sought to know more and more things about Skarla and probably must have made Viper tell her everything she knew about her interactions, her opinion of her, and much more.

It's very likely that Viper talked about how Skarla acted mature and serious during the trip. Viper must have been confused by Skarla's acting so explosively.

This must have left them confused, but as Skarla is young in everyone's eyes as well as a savage, they believe that in the end, she always controlled herself to appear calm and civilized, but in the end, she is just a savage.

And that was what Skarla wanted, because being underestimated is extremely advantageous for her, as it gives her many protections.

First, everyone will try to be understanding of her and maybe help her. ‘Guiding’ her to the correct path, or at least teaching her the right path, cleans up any mistakes she might make.

Second: Because of her demonstration of strength, everyone will want to ally with her, try to discover more about her personality, and strengthen some type of bond. Nobles will mostly try to recruit her and tie her to their family.

In other words, because everyone thinks she is a young woman who only has strength and because she is a futanari, she must think a lot with her head down. Naturally, they will take the opportunity to manipulate her.

And Skarla used this to her advantage, easily deceiving and placing in her palm a figure as important and powerful as Letiphia Veremor.

Skarla, in a great mood, was smiling after hearing the chaos in the office as she walked away, knowing that she had destroyed this proud woman's composure.

Of course, her plan isn't just to torture her and have fun with Letiphia, much less make her his wife or something. Skarla's plans go much further; she will not settle for a dukedom.

……

The Shadows of Veremor were chosen; three of them were on a mission and were ordered to return; another Shadow of Veremor will replace them.

The two that were available arrived the next day, and Skarla went to help them. Naturally lied about her sacrifices; she only spent around 300 EP and 10 AP, which is high, but nothing she couldn't recover after 1 day of rest.

In this way, Skarla helped a Shadow of Veremor, apparently 55 years old, reach Level 14, while the other, 63 years old, only reached Level 13.

This 73-year-old is the same one who accompanies Letiphia. It seems that because she has some lie detection skills, she went on fewer missions than desired, as there is no value in helping them increase their levels.

Of course, if Letiphia thought that something like this was possible, it would be likely that instead of Level 13, this older Shadow of Veremor would be at Level 15~16, as there are many missions that they participate in.

As for Viper, who reached Level 12, her age is 42 years old; she started at 6, which means she has been acting as a Shadow of Veremor for 21 years!

Anyway, Skarla tried something with these last two shades. She tried to take some of the EXP for herself, but unfortunately she doesn't have enough control, or the system simply prevents her from stealing it.

If it were so easy to steal the EXP earned by others, the strength of the Veremor family and their main minions would certainly be much greater with these walking sources of EXP that cannot level up.

Certainly there must have been research to try to use this EXP; even if the shadow didn't use it, it would have been possible to give it to whoever could. But it was certainly all fruitless.

As for the reason for Skarla's failure, it is simply the fact that she is unable to directly interfere with this energy that she considers to be EXP. At least, it is in a dimension far removed from what it is capable of achieving; perhaps this is the secret to detaching itself from the system.

'I need to reach Level 11, as with each level, I feel like the bonds in my body become weaker and my physical limitations expand. At Level 21, I think maybe I can break free. But if I can translate the [Perfect Body Mantra] and use it, I don't think I'll even need Level 21… But at my current rate, it will take a minimum of 5 years to translate and a maximum of 15 years, maybe more…' - Skarla frowned at such thoughts.

……

“How are you feeling?” - Letiphia asked the two shadows that passed through the breaking of the limit where she could feel the power coming from them.

Without mentioning that they looked younger, the oldest of them, who was over 70 in age but didn't look more than 55 years old, now seemed to be in her 40s or 45s.

As for the 55-year-old, she didn't look that old before, but she certainly looked like she was in her 40s, a mature beauty with certain youthful and vivid features. She now appears to be a beauty in her 30s.

Letiphia was surprised by the rejuvenation, wondering if it was because of the technique used by Skarla or because they had reached a supernatural level.

Upon reaching the supernatural level, there is an increase in life expectancy, depending on the race, but for humans, it is around 25~35 years, based on 60~70 human years as a limit.

Not to mention that, on a supernatural level, the “peak” has been maintained for decades. In other words, a man in his 40s will continue to look around that age, even when he is in his 60s or even 70s.

But around the age of 75 ~ 80, he will certainly start to age normally like an ordinary person, even if he maintains a lot of strength.

As for Letiphia, her exact level is 18. She is a sorceress. Magic classes tend to have many secrets to increase life expectancy and maintain youth. She is particularly 52 years old, but she doesn't look older than 25.

It wouldn't be strange to mistake her for his daughter's older sister. You may even wonder who is the oldest between Letiphia and Pietra.

…

“Ma'am, I haven't spent my points yet, but there has been an improvement in many of my skills, and I have gained two new ones. A passive called [Unnatural Vitality], this increased my life expectancy by 50 years and all my physical attributes by +2. My [Alchemical Body] Talent has risen to Level 3, and the bonus of +50 HP and +100 EP has increased by 50% each.” - Said the oldest, looking very excited, Letiphia was amazed.

“Is there any description of this [Unnatural Vitality]?” - Letiphia asked seriously.

"Yes. It is said that through a technique bordering on the divine, the mistakes made by the mundane mind were corrected, assimilated, and refined, strengthening vitality and developing an even more perfect alchemical body."

“Mine is the same!” - The other shadow nodded, and Letiphia frowned.

“What is the second skill they acquired?” - Letiphia asked, swallowing her saliva. As these benefits are enormous, even she was tempted and full of envy.

“Our second skill is also an active one; it’s called [Experimental Impulse]. This allows us to sacrifice our vitality and energy in exchange for an advantage during combat. It's like a Berserker skill; the sacrifice is very high and will decrease our life expectancy. We can’t exclude it either!” - Said the shadow.

Letiphia nodded and asked for the description, where they informed her: Sacrifice everything for more power! A blood technique was naturally acquired from magical genes making up his blood, which were assimilated into his entire being, allowing him to inherit such supernatural power!

In addition, they also received several evolutions in their skills, such as the damage category of certain skills improving, critical rate increasing, critical damage going from 2x to 3x, and [Sneak Attack] becoming [Improved Sneak Attack], where depending on the situation, you can gain an advantage in attack.

Letiphia really liked what she was hearing, where she said to spend 2 points on improving certain skills to make them even stronger, as well as expanding your skill slots with the remaining points.

She was curious about what skills they can learn now, whether the alchemical process allows them to have more unusual skills, or whether there is nothing left for them to achieve.

PART 2 – Teaching Viper!

—————————

“I still don't believe it…” - Viper said she was naked, lying on Skarla, equally naked. Both their slender, toned bodies were covered in sweat and other liquids.

“You’re all mine to devour as much as I want!” - Skarla said, laughing. Viper smiled back, still thinking this was a dream and being afraid of waking up.

“I feel so strange... I like it, but I have served the Veremor family practically since I can remember. I don't even remember the faces of my parents who sold me; if it weren't for my status showing my name, I probably wouldn't even remember it.” - Viper said, blinking slightly.

“I almost forgot that Viper is your codename. What is your name?" - Skarla asked curiously.

“Zendaya, but keep calling me Viper… I'm not used to that name, and it's not even important to me.” - Viper said, blinking slightly, and Skarla caressed her smooth and sweaty back.

Looking at the ceiling, Skarla was thinking about many things, the most important one being which cultivation technique to teach Viper. Now that Viper is under her ownership, Skarla has her magical contract passed into her name.

Initially, she wanted to break the contract and make Viper a free woman, but she refused, saying she liked the idea of being in possession of her. Skarla thought it was strange, but when they were alone, she told her that she is still extremely loyal to the Veremor family, and that will never change.

Viper really likes Skarla, but she still doesn't know if this is really love or just very strong sexual chemistry. Whatever the case, Viper is afraid of betraying Skarla or doing her harm, so having the contract in place preventing her from doing so will be for the best.

“Okay, I’ve made up my mind!” -Skarla said, smiling and sitting down, pushing Viper to sit on her lap, that huge penis flaccid between her legs, and lying on her soft, white thigh.

Viper raised an eyebrow as Skarla reached into a bag next to the bed and took out a magical contract, which Skarla made sure to take from Letiphia.

Naturally, Letiphia was not happy with this, but Skarla didn't know where to get something so good in such a short space of time, so asking with a little affection, Letiphia bit her lips to the point that blood came out, giving her the contract.

And the content of the contract is very simple:

1st Viper (___), Former Shadow of Veremor, agrees to this confidentiality contract, which will prohibit her from spreading any information relevant to Skarla's secrets to third parties;

2° In the case of breach of contract, Viper (___) will be subject to a curse of incommunicable silence, preventing her from communicating with any being, whether physical, mental, or spiritual, to pass on any information;

3° The curse can only be undone with Skarla's agreement;

4° Skarla will know immediately if the contract is canceled;

5° Skarla will know the approximate location of Viper (___) if the contract is broken;

…

“I never thought of such curse restrictions. You've thought of everything, but if I'm going to give you such information, wouldn't it be better to kill me?” - Viper asked, frowning.

“I have confidence in you! I know you wouldn't reveal my secrets lightly, just through torture or some kind of mind control. This is specifically to prevent you from being able to communicate and spread our secrets until I am able to find you and rescue you.” - Skarla said, smiling; she gently caressed Viper's beautiful face, which became younger due to what she did by breaking her limits.

Viper, who previously looked like a mature woman in her 30s, appearing to be older than the Shadows of Veremor her age, now looked like a young woman in her 20s, even more beautiful.

And Viper, hearing Skarla's words, felt a strange sensation that made her very happy; if it weren't for her pussy burning a little at this moment, she would attack Skarla for another round.

“So I just have to put my real name in those spaces, right?” - Viper asked, not even thinking about changing anything in the contract to benefit her; she doesn't need that; she has full trust in Skarla.

Skarla took a knife, Viper cut off her fingertip, and skillfully wrote her real name on the contract, where all the spaces were soon magically filled, and later, Skarla also wrote her name in her blood.

As a result, the contract disintegrated and entered into force. Viper felt the restrictions; it was uncomfortable. She had information in her mind, telling her what she could or couldn't do.

And then, a warm hug came, his face with slight amazement burying itself in Skarla's soft breasts. - “Sorry about that; I trust you, but... I don’t trust what Letiphia and her family did to you; I assure you that as soon as we are sure you are away from that family’s influence, I will break all contracts."

Surprised Viper smiled, feeling the sincerity, and just hugged Skarla back.

…

Minutes later, Viper heard the most shocking and surreal thing in his life: cultivation techniques. Internal and External Energy Cultivation, how to develop Aura at Level 0, adjust your breathing, Magical Mantras through Magical Runes… everything was so incredible and clueless for his mind to comprehend.

But then Skarla taught him the correct method of breathing, then taught him the [Black Devil Mantra]. A Higher Level Technique, Skarla wanted to teach him something Supreme Level, just like his [Thunder God Mantra], but the problem is not the lack of translation; Skarla literally translated most of these techniques; the problem is that Viper doesn't have the capacity to support something like this at the moment.

She will not be able to understand the depth of the mantra, and as it is considered a demon-faction technique, the chances of it contaminating Viper's mind are high. That's why she decided on a higher-level one; she will start by strengthening and adapting Viper for the future.

As for the effectiveness of demonic techniques, they are extremely powerful, but if you are not careful and do not have the necessary talent, you can end up getting lost in the demonic arts and becoming a bloodthirsty being thirsty for blood.

Skarla studied techniques from the Factions: Orthodox, Unorthodox, and Demonic. She didn't care how others saw each other; all she saw was effectiveness and how everything complemented each other.

And by teaching the [Black Devil Mantra] to Viper, she will develop better perception, improve her stealth capabilities, and adapt to darkness. It will improve other mental factors, such as better control over your body's limitations, sleep control, energy consumption, lung capacity, and other effects.

Practically a perfect technique for assassins, of course, there is the danger of Viper being consumed by demonic impulses, but who is Skarla? She is an inhuman genius who dismantled countless techniques and created several more.

The [Black Devil Mantra] was something she created, where there are 2 versions: the standard demonic one, which she developed from the capture of Martial Artists from the Demonic Faction who were subjected to torture to give her the mantra of their techniques in detail.

The one she modified aims to strengthen the Demonic Cultivator's mind to more easily resist demonic impulses and, in fact, transform it into her weapon!

From there, Skarla can work on variations and better understand differences, circulation, and much more. As for the sorcery used by the Demonic Faction, it is something that few have access to, so at the end of her life, she never managed to get her hands on it.

…

Viper-meditating, she felt the world before her perception expanded; even if it was with the help of Skarla touching her back and injecting energy, she could still feel the magnificent effects. How reciting certain Magical Runes and circulating the mysterious and brutal energy developing through her body can have so many effects.

She continued, persevering, but soon stopped; she felt a blockage. - “For now, let's repeat this for another 10 days. Create the circulation of energy through your body passively, so you don't need my help. It will be at this time that you will acquire the [Black Devil Mantra] skill. Then you can start accumulating Core Energy which will expand your EP reserves, and this will open up the opportunity to develop aura. I don’t know exactly what type you will develop, but it will certainly be something dark.”

“I know, thank you; I know that I will become much stronger with this!” - Viper said, being able to feel the energy and potential of it.

“I wanted to teach you something more controllable, but unfortunately, I don’t have any standards that suit your style.” - Skarla said, scratching her head. It turns out that as she focused on efficiency and training assassin units, Demonic Cultivation was used.

As she didn't care much and focused only on efficiency, she never considered teaching something like that to her wife, so she didn't try to develop something decent in that style using orthodox martial arts.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about; even though it’s dark, I feel like it suits me a lot!” - Viper said, smiling with joy.

Skarla smiled. Sometimes it's good to be ignorant.

Kissing the back of Viper's neck, Skarla gave some instructions on cultivation, which takes time and will bear fruit over time.

“For now, you will have to learn on your own to disperse the clots of energy coming from the alchemical process that modified your body. I didn't assimilate them all, as there are some very delicate ones that I don't have confidence in touching, but the body is yours and the energy is yours. As soon as you learn, you can use this to your advantage. Perhaps it is even possible to cheat and gain a few hundred days or even years of core energy by assimilating all these energy clots.” - Skarla said she was smiling, and Viper naturally didn't really understand what she meant, but as Skarla was smiling and it seemed to be something good, she smiled too.

PART 3 – Viper!

—————————

With Viper learning the [Black Devil Mantra], she slowly progressed and improved her perception. In fact, Skarla helped him get rid of her ability [Owl], this ability that allowed him great resistance to sleep and also good night vision.

As a result, Viper acquired [Sleep Resistance (II)] and [Night Vision (II)], making the skill literally useless. Of course, their effects together stacked, but there was no need for that; therefore, Viper decided to forget the skill.

With 1 slot available, she decided to leave it like that for now to receive the [Central Core – Black Devil Mantra].

But her current status is like this:

(Note: It took me about 3 hours to make this sheet itself; it took me 2 hours to make the standard one for all of Veremor's Shadow; and it took me 1 hour to make Viper's specific one.) (I decided from now on to put less descriptive information about the skills and more objective information about their relevant effects on the system.)

(Note: Viper as an Assassin has much more HP and EP than base Skarla, even having more than Letiphia, but again, there is a very good reason for that. Viper has had tremendous luck in the stat dice and also, since Level 0, its CONS attributes were +5, while INT was +2. From Level 1 to 10, it already guarantees +50 HP and +20 EP.

- Following this, we have the Talent [Alchemical Body (III)], which gave +75 HP and +150 EP. I admit it's a lot, but you have to note that Skarla is the reason this is so OP!

- If it weren't for Skarla, there wouldn't be so much relevant concern for the Shadows of Veremor, especially because it's a “fair” price, the inability to level up in exchange for so many advantages, a way of even “balancing” the situation. But Skarla came along and fucked the balance!)

…

Skarla, reading the paper with Viper's information, smiled, thinking about what she could teach her in the future to replace some of those skills. But one thing he noticed are passive skills that complement some proficiencies, like Stealth, as well as bonuses on attack rolls.

She doesn't have that, but on the other hand, her passive skills are the type that increase her attributes, give her several advantages, and, of course, turn her body into a weapon!

As for the Actives, they are top-notch!

As for Viper, she was also reading a paper that contained Skarla's abilities. Viper was shocked reading this paper; she knew Skarla was a monster, but... this damage is absurd!

The skills themselves are absurd. Unarmed, along with her skills and the talents she has, she deals more die than a Greatsword (+2)! Because of her aura, she most likely deals damage equivalent to that of a Sword Master using a Greatsword (+3).

(Note: The +2 and +3 mentioned above are degrees of weapon quality, giving bonuses to attack, damage, and magical or legendary effects for the weapon, armor, accessory, etc.)

"You are a monster! Can I by any chance develop the same?” - Viper asked curiously.

“I have knowledge… look!” -Skarla was going to start giving a huge explanation about something, but she thought it was better to just show it!

Extending her hand, she activated her aura, where soon her energy accumulated while her palm was open, only with her fingers together and enveloped by the energy, where it turned purple and lightning crackled.

Slowly Viper noticed the shape of a type of blade, where Skarla simply took a pillow and stuck her hand in it, which she cut easily, and also that the crackling rays burned the fabric of the pillow.

Viper was surprised, and Skarla said. - “I think we can call this the Aura Blade. You can do the same when your aura is Level 2. In fact, I believe you can do even better. I can do better, but I think I would need a skill slot for that.”

Skarla rubbed her chin, ignoring system notifications about a new skill being available.

“Then I could replace my daggers with this…” - Viper’s eyes shone brightly, and Skarla said. - “Unless you have phenomenal control, concentration, and, of course, dense and powerful Core Energy, it's not worth it. This is a more emergency technique in case you don’t have a weapon at your disposal.”

“Of course, if you train well, you can literally manifest blades using your energy—not wrap it around your palm to cut or anything like that, but literally fashion an aura-only dagger or sword to use as if it were a solid weapon. But I believe that Level 3 is the minimum necessary for this, and also, the [Aura Blade] skill would need to be at least Level 2 for something like this.” - Said Skarla, already having assumptions about this style of combat.

But she doesn't see the need to learn it since she already has [Martial Body]. She has no need to start training and level up a new combat style in the use of blades, such as [Diamond Body] and [1st Metamorphosis], which improve the unarmed damage category.

Of course, the damage of something like [Aura Blade] would not be inferior and could start at D8, but in the case of D6, there should be some bonus. It could also be something like D6/D8 + INT modifier or WIS + STR modifier to deal with the damage.

There may be several other unknown factors that Skarla has not taken into consideration, but she is not willing to test. If the system were more lenient, she would happily try, but the system is very limiting.

Skarla particularly hates this system, as she wishes it didn't exist. Surely the experts' overall power would be several times stronger and more refined than it is now.

But there is little freedom, and creativity is greatly suppressed. Skarla really wants to beat up whoever created this horrible system!

(Author: Whistling* looking away* calmly stepping back*)

PART 4 – Information!

—————————

With Viper having learned everything there was to learn and just needing to refine everything he learned to learn even more in the future, attention soon turned to other areas.

In a few days, a banquet will take place where Letiphia will receive hundreds of adventurers and mercenaries attracted from several other territories in her castle.

As a result, the city is filled with strong people, inns are full, and the price of everything is increasing.

Skarla spent a lot of time taking care of Viper, as well as teasing Letiphia, who started to run away from her, because whenever he saw her, some veins were already popping out of her forehead, ready to burst.

In other words, in order not to die of anger or freak out, Letiphia preferred to ignore Skarla!

Skarla wasn't bothered by this, especially because her attention was on Viper, but she still interacted with the other guests, especially with Edric, who, when he saw Viper without her Shadow of Veremor clothes, wondered what was going on.

“I irritated the duchess until she gave me Viper; now she is my wife!” - Skarla said, laughing and hugging Viper, who blushed and looked away.

Edric can only gape, as he is not stupid and naturally knows that the Shadows of Veremor are an elite force of the duchy. For the duchess to dismiss a shadow like that, surely something big happened behind the scenes.

Anyway, Edric decided not to go into details, as the sense of danger he felt from Viper simply increased a lot, and she seemed much stronger too.

Edric informed Skarla, after initial doubts, about the many beauties and relatively famous people who are in the city.

“In fact, I even found some mercenaries from the north. I advise you to be careful; the Eye of the Crow is in the city."- Edric said it seriously.

“Eye of the Raven?” - Skarla was confused, and Viper responded.

“It is a mercenary group from the north, made up of excellent warriors of at least Level 6, as well as several Shamans of Level 5 and above. They are all women… women just like you."- Viper said, looking at Skarla.

Skarla was confused. -‘Women like me?’ - But she soon thought about it, and... -“They are all futanaris?"

"Yes! Don't become their enemy or fuck one of them; I guarantee you that if you fuck one, you'll have to fuck them all! If they like you, they will badger you to join their group, constantly challenging you to duels.” - Edric said it seriously.

“But if you defeat their leader and refuse to take their stand, they will leave you alone. In fact, it is possible for you to take the leader as your wife if you prefer or any other member of the group if you prefer, but you have to defeat the leader to be able to remove one or more of them from the group.” - Viper said, complementing the information, and Edric slightly looked away.

“Wait… Did you try to hide this information, fearing that I would take it for myself?” - Skarla asked.

“… yes… Their leader is a Level 11 acquaintance of mine; she is very strong, but I prefer to stay away! The problem is that they are from the same lands where I live; they come home every winter; if you take them for yourself, my homeland will lose a lot of power.” - Edric said, smiling bitterly.

“I understand, but don’t worry, I have no plans to create some kind of gigantic harem; I’ll go with the flow.” - Skarla said, smiling and stroking Viper's head.

"I hope so. I remember you're a virgin back there, right? Take extra care with shamans. If they know she’s a virgin futanari, they’ll go crazy!” - Edric said it seriously.

Skarla raised an eyebrow, not remembering saying something like that to Edric, but thinking that he is a Beastmancer, she must have keen senses to notice something like that.

“Well, I’ll be careful; I appreciate the information.” - Skarla said, smiling.

“You are my friend; I have to take care of my junior. When you finish whatever you’re doing, let’s drink; I swear this time I’ll win."- Edric said, smiling.

Skarla smiled and nodded.

And after Edric, it was Bianca's turn to approach, who noticed that Skarla apparently made some negotiation with Letiphia, to the point where she handed over possession of one of the extremely valuable Shadows of Veremor to a young woman of only 20 years old.

This made Bianca understand that Skarla is much more valuable than she thought and has many secrets, which only made her bright-eyed when she returned with an approach from Skarla.

Bianca acted coquettishly, trying to apologize for being busy. As a result, Skarla shut her up and destroyed her big, plump ass, with Viper accompanying her to finish off this opportunist.

And the next morning, Bianca, a little weak and unable to move properly, fought with Viper to occupy one of Skarla's breasts, which are very soft, and then began to give a lot of information, as if apologizing for her absence, to observe whether or not it was still worth investing in Skarla.

Skarla listened as Bianca told about important figures visiting the duchy, not to mention that envoys from other nations, including enemy nations, are present, as the matter relevant to the 7 Deadly Sins could become a global threat!

Why are other nations concerned about this? It is a very old story, where it is said that millennia ago, there was a huge war between all the main current races against the demons who aimed to conquer the world.

This battle lasted centuries, until the main races were successful in expelling the demons. But from the records that we have about this turbulent time that almost extinguished all the main races, it is said that among the demons, the main ones were the Seven Sins!

But the 7 Sins were not 7 demons, but 7 Races!

Each race represented a deadly sin. They were very powerful races, where there was a Demigod-level powerhouse leading them, with at least five legendary beings in each race.

A fearsome force!

And now, traces of the 7 Deadly Sins have emerged here, a corruption that is spreading. Everyone's fear is that perhaps this will become the trigger for another invasion like that. If they emerge, it is very likely that the world will succumb to seven demigods!

…

Bianca drank some potions and then left to do other important things. Of course, she asked Skarla to go visit her company's branch; she would guarantee her good hospitality and some gifts.

“She’s very smart; I don’t like her!” - Viper said, narrowing her eyes as soon as Bianca was gone.

“Do you not like her because she got half of me this morning, or is there another reason?” - Skarla asked, smiling, finding Viper very cute.

“There is that, but... from the information I have, Bianca is very smart and tends to use everything and everyone to benefit herself. The way she treated you during these weeks is a good demonstration of her personality. She doesn't get attached to people easily, and even though she likes to fuck you, she's using potions to minimize the damage you do to her body.” - Viper said it seriously.

“I know, but I’ve already made a point of reducing the effectiveness of these potions.” - Skarla said, smiling.

"Hmm? As?" - Viper was surprised.

“I can manipulate energy and numb your senses. I simply find a way to subtly nullify or reduce the effects, thus making her receive more damage than expected. Either way, her pussy will be in the mold of my dick in a few more sessions, and I doubt she’ll be able to forget me.” - Skarla laughed with a certain disdain and confidence.

“I understand… But do you like her? You seemed to love watching her have orgasms and seeing her reactions as she destroyed you.” - Viper asked, narrowing her eyes.

“I do the same to you; only I'm destroying your pussy and you can't pay attention. But… I think it’s her ass and her big breasts that really attract me, but to be honest, it doesn’t match your beauty, stamina, and, of course, how tight your pussy is.” - Skarla smiled and kissed Viper's neck to tease her. Viper growled slightly and just looked away, but she was happy.

“Not to mention that I find it exciting to take out some of my frustrations on this opportunistic slut. I hate the thought of being used or thinking about being used in the future, but... I have plans to use Bianca; even if I don't have any feelings for her, she is still useful to me, and I wouldn't mind making her one of my wives."- Said Skarla.

“You’ve barely won me over, and you’re already going after someone else?” - Viper pouted.

“My beauty, I already conquered you a long time ago; only now I got you by right. As for Bianca, my interest in her is beyond sexual, something monetary. I need your connections and money for my plans.” -Skarla said, smiling and not showing shame or guilt in her words.

Viper looked at Skarla and smiled slightly. She didn't ask about her plans, but she knows that Skarla is much more than anyone imagines.

“But I think I will soon try to win over some women. I heard that some sorcerers and magicians are in the city, and there are also some interesting warriors. It would be good to start assembling our group with the best!” - Skarla said, and Viper pinched her lightly. Skarla laughed.

(Note: From the next chapters onwards, more and more characters will start to appear, some of whom were in the original draft of 11 chapters. I have plans to dedicate 2~3 chapters to recruitment, but it may end up being less. I will also create additional chapters to increase the plot of certain characters and establish objectives for many of them (which, of course, Skarla won't know, but you and I, my dear reader, will!).

(Author: I hope you're enjoying the story so far, and when the battles resume, I apologize, but it will take a while.

- Regarding the dice rolls, I am rolling them, but I see no reason to add them to the work, as I believe that inserting them will often cause more harm than good.

- Why do I think this? It's just that if I start saying which rolls were successes and failures, it would be the same as having spoilers for what will happen. So except in situations of combat, investigation, or interaction with certain characters that may or may not be important to the plot, there will be no quotes about the dice. BUT YES, the dice are being rolled!)
