Dragon Lord: Erotic MMO

Chapter 221 [Bonus ] 77: The Choatic Date! [2]

?

After the quick brunch, Lusia and Veronica said they wanted to buy some new underwear; at first, Zell thought this meant he would get some rest... Oh, how he was wrong.

They walked down the street, the busty silver-haired Veronica holding a cute handbag. In contrast, Lusia walked on the opposite side, her body seeming weak, as she leaned against his body, her fingers entwined with his, while the more pure Veronica held his arm with a bright smile as they finally arrived at the store that was quite famous over all of Europa.

Zell looked up at the neat sign; it was discreet with a pretty font, the black and white colour scheme tasteful as he realised this place was the elusive [Veronica's Secret] where many women enjoyed shopping, but men were unsure what the site was.

"Wow~! It's here~!" Veronica said excitedly, looking at the blonde woman behind the counter, her sharp features a perfect match for her beautiful blond hair.

The shopkeeper smiled brightly at the pair, "Welcome to our secret hideout~!" As if they were speaking some secret language.

He intended to stay outside and wait with the other group of males, likely waiting for their girlfriends like him; this was in the Berian walls, so the people who lived here were affluent or worked in vital parts of the city and were giving a decent living and package, so he didn't need much worry about thieves or those types as the security was strict. Theft would be dealt with by severing the criminal's hands and tossing them off the side of the wall.

'This place didn't give a fuck about the conventions and stupid laws made by the freedom republic.'

"Zell?" Veronica's soft but charming voice sounded as she rushed out of the shop, her large breasts swaying wildly as she seemed to be braless, causing his body to move naturally, stepping forward and holding her close to his chest, her soft bosom crushed against him as her lips brushed against his, the pair were in a limbo, between lovers and friends, both wanted to move past this, but weren't sure how to fully break that final barrier, as Veronica's hot breath, smelling of mint blew along his face.

'This?" Zell thought she was strange, as her beautiful azure eyes twinkled for a moment before her hands wrapped around his head; her lips were thick, soft and glossy as they slightly parted.

"I don't want to lose anymore..." She said with a soft voice.

"You did things with Lusia under the table... but not me... I don't want to be left out anymore... Zell..." 

Veronica's grasp was tight as she looked at him with wet eyes; somehow, their entire surroundings slowed down; they stopped almost entirely as she looked at him with an affectionate gaze. 

"Veronica... your powers?" He noticed her forehead sweating profusely... but her eyes watched him, fluttering with her long lashes as her fingers stroked his head.

He wanted to take the initiative, but suddenly her eyes flashed a brilliant blue, taking him aback momentarily.

"Zell, I love you. From the moment you saved me, I felt something different...."

'!?'

Suddenly their bodies were no longer in the long shopping mall, the countless people were gone, and they were back in that hell; he stood only a few metres as his eyes watched Rika being smashed into meat paste by the demon, and then he stood up, but the focus switched from him to a young woman... her look was older than he remembered... identical to the current Veronica... a little different as her hair used to be blonde.

"Zell... do you know, at this moment... If you didn't stand up... the world would have ended."

"Eh, but Yinfra and Yanfra said it would be okay. That you had.."

"I didn't!" Veronica shouted, her earnest and cute face looking at him thoughtfully.

"I was lost; mother killed my dad... My sister became strange, wanting to kill, kill, kill all the time... she abandoned the humans for "Victory", but we still lost... The humans also turned on the gods, the champions sent to save them... Tessa... Anya... Minfiela... Alric... So many were killed by normal humans! Not demons!"

Her arms shook his body as he looked at her, noticing his reflection was the slightly less handsome version of himself before the change, or rather they awakened his demon blood. 

"Zell... until you stood up and protected me!"

"A weak, pathetic man who cried about losing his beloved... His back is trembling; his feet are shaking with fear! Yet you stepped forward, burned your soul and lifeblood to overcast a spell he shouldn't be able to use as a tamer! What kind of stupid thing did you do?"

"Ah, that....was..."

"Shut up! It's my time to talk... you always run off, speak to another woman... treat me like a child! I'm over 10,000 years old!"

She screamed and slapped him, her slim hand landing hard on his cheek and sending a shockwave through his body, making him stumble backwards.

"If you even think of interrupting me again today! I'll slap you again!"

Her white dress fluttered in the wind as she took confident steps forward, grabbing both sides of his shirt and pulling him into her chest, her breathing ragged as she looked into his eyes.

"I feel for you, at this moment, every time you appear! For thousands of lives! Yinfra? Yanfra? They see you... that watch you... But I was SAVED by you... whenever I felt weak... felt weary.... wanted to give up! The moment you stood to protect me, not even knowing I was a goddess, blinded by the illusion I was some weak and crippled little girl! You gave me the power.... the strength to move on...."

Zell's eyes widened as her face filled with tears. Finally, he was learning the truth of his life, thanks to this beautiful girl, the wonderful Yinfra and his beloved Yanfra.

"Hey, Zell... do you know how many times, in how many different worlds and lives, you've saved me? No matter if you are human, demon, beastman or another race?"

"Eh...." Too much information entered his ears; he's been reborn as another race? Then what about her losing her power after saving him? Was that a lie...!?

Her stern face was cute but suddenly loosened before she laughed gently, like a grown woman, not the childish Veronica he knew.

"Zell... I am a goddess. Did you believe my sister's stupid lie that just one time would be enough to make me lose my entire divinity? My beloved Zell... the man who supported my heart... No matter what form, in my last moments, it was always you." 

Her soft palms brushed against his cheeks as light tears dripped from her azure blue eyes that shone like stars. 

"It's been 9 thousand, 8 hundred and sixty-nine times that I've watched you die." 

"!!!"

"Honestly... I didn't understand when I first saw you in my first life... I asked my sister, and she merely said it was shocking... seeing your small body standing tall... facing the demon prince to protect me... Zell, you don't know the truth because my sister altered everything in your mind.... that was no mere demon... It was the prince of war and massacre... Amon... You wounded a demon prince.... at the cost of most of your human soul...."

"Eh... then how? Even if you reset time... my soul would be gone, right?" 

Veronica's eyes looked sad as if she was apologetic; her body and hands holding his cheeks trembled. 

"Hey Zell... If I tell you, will you promise not to hate me...?"

As if he would ever be able to do such a thing.

"I... I'm..." She started to shake violently, but her hands were gentle as she froze when his thumbs brushed away the tears from her eyes.

"I... When you were reborn the first time... You were broken... you lost a large part of your soul... So... I didn't feel anything in my first life... But then, even without that soul... you saved me again... Ironic right? My stupid self believed that my sister was right... you lost a huge part of your humanity... becoming a shell of yourself."

"However, you saved me again! Hahaha..." Veronica's laugh was self-deprecating as she hugged tightly onto his chest.

e?glesn??el While Zell's heart began to throb violently if he lost 30% from the first... what happened to his soul.... his mind over so many different events!?

"Hahaha... How much time has passed since then, huh? It's been over 40 thousand lives... and you were always there... protecting me... you, the same man who wasn't human... you became my dear friend... my hero... my sided love..."

"...Veronica?"

The goddess's face looked almost demonic, her body shaking as she tightened her grip on him.

"Did you not wonder why you weren't normal? Why are you a demon? Why could you fuse a dragon's bloodline with their bitter enemy?"

She kissed him, her tongue teasing his lips.

"You're the one who caused this, you know~?" Her soft voice squeaked as she kissed him again. "How dare you make a goddess so enamoured with you? She trades her power for the bloodline of a demon prince and a dragon emperor..."

Her voice was loud, and he noticed her body trembling, those azure orbs wavering in sorrow and despair.

He tried to move closer, but her small hand touched his eyebrows; her face looked sad, and strange images began to flow into his mind; countless times meeting this cute girl, he was slightly different each time, and sometimes there would be no Rika.

Instead, Noire was his battle pet or Cynthia.
