My Servant System

Chapter 430 429: Show And Tell

?

We were laying down in a pile, our limbs entangled as we lounged around together, enjoying the warmth and caresses of one another as we came off our hedonistic high, our bodies drenched in sweat, fluids and sperm.

My head rested on Jahi's chest, while Anput and Leone lounged on either side of me, all of us quiet as we took this moment to soothe our aching bodies and sore throats; few words had been spoken over these hours, but our voices were used for more primitive communications... while our throats may have been used for other things as well...

Anput was the first to speak, her fingers dancing over my skin as she caressed my slightly rounded stomach, the olive skinned Jackalkin stroking my muscles before she stopped, tapping the crest above my womb.

"What... is this, Kat? Is this a magical tattoo?"

Her words attracted the attention of the other two, and I chuckled wryly as I felt their gazes land on the pink lines crowning my pussy lips, which were still twitching from the afterglow of our time together.

"Took you all long enough..."

Jahi was the one to respond next, her voice slightly flat as she said "You spent most of this time lying on your stomach, Kat. How would we possibly see the crest atop your womb? We definitely noticed these lines on your left arm though..."

My chuckles continued to fill the room as I stroked the white lines on my arm, before I leaned back entirely into Jahi, deciding to start from the beginning.

"When I had been transported away from you, back at that border fight between us and the Western Kingdoms, I was thrown far off to the east, where I found myself trapped inside a large mountain range covered in snow... It was a rather beautiful, yet deadly place, and I imagine if I hadn't been a Wind, Water, or Ice Magic user I would have frozen to death in its depths...

That was where I first tried to utilize our Soul Bond, Jahi... it let me know where I needed to go when I finally managed to tug at it. Using that to orient myself with the sun, I began to traverse the snow and made my way towards any civilization.

My first meeting with people was a rather interesting one; a tribe known as the Arese who live near the Cimmerian Mountains - a border of the Labyrinthian - and maintain the seals of three Fiends trapped inside.

I helped them, and they helped me; one of my rewards was the white tattoo you see here. It's an incredibly useful tattoo; it numbs my pain receptors and strengthens my flesh, increasing my defensive capabilities slightly while allowing me to fight through any serious pain. Of course, it doesn't nullify the injury, so-"

"That's a rather double edged tattoo then; nullifying pain to the point that you can barely feel it is really dangerous, but useful."

I nodded at Leone's interruption, my heart warming as I saw that familiar glint in her eye - that thirst she had for knowledge of any kind that related to the arcane.

"It is. That was my reward for helping them. After that, I parted ways with them and traversed the eastern side of the world, cutting through Nevrokopi and traveling towards the deadly forest that grows just north of it.

I made a few stops inside Nevrokopi to resupply, but that forest was my second challenge. It's filled with insanely strong warrior tribes that are very... primal in nature. To be honest, if I was even just a little weaker I think I would have... yeah. Not a pretty fate there.

That forest drained me of energy, but I had to push on. Gobo Desert was my next destination, the Fire Mana that permeated the air sapping even more of my will as I walked for days through the sweltering heat.

Wekalian Steppes - that was my destination, another stopping point to restock and prepare myself for the journey to come. Traversing another desert to reach an even worse desert - the Sultanate."

Anput glared slightly at me for that, before sighing as I let my Ice Mana pulse from my body for a moment, reminding her why I wasn't keen on traveling through her home.

"However, when I reached Khanla, a city inside of the Wekalian Steppes, I... met something. Promise to listen to me first, before asking any questions?"

The three frowned at that, and I could feel the suspicion and worry inside of Jahi, making me bite my cheek.

Despite not liking where that might lead, the three nodded and waited for me to continue.

"Inside of Khanla, I met a Fiend."

Those words made each woman inhale sharply, worry and other emotions dancing inside their eyes - however, they remained quiet.

"Specifically, an Arch Fiend. Arch Fiend Sla'Caligo, who's domain was of Hidden Twisted Pleasures. She... appeared before me during my stay, and offered me a deal."

Jahi was already shaking her head, while Leone was staring at me in shock.

The only one that remained neutral was Anput, the Jackalkin just staring at me with a flat expression.

"I... took it. We swore oaths on a Goddess together, and we struck a deal that benefits us both. I made her swear to never harm me or my friends and family, and in exchange she wanted to use my Core as a... crucible, to marinate a type of Mana for a bit before draining it from me. In a non sexual way of course."

Silence reined inside the room, and I almost tore into my cheek as I looked between them, each showing a different response.

Jahi was livid, her golden eyes ablaze with worried anger as she glared at me, while Leone gave me a speculative, almost untrustworthy look over, like she was trying to verify that I was still me.

It hurt, but I could understand the concern and need to double check...

Anput was, once again, the first to speak, our Jackalkin saying "You struck a deal that was mutually beneficial? And the terms are binding and sworn under a Goddess?"

I nodded, and the olive skinned warrior just shrugged as she returned to caressing me, her voice uncaring as she added "There is no point in worrying then. We can't do anything about it; it's set in stone. Besides, I imagine it's a rather lucrative deal on both sides. Personally, I can understand - and even support - your decision Kat, but..."

She gestured to the other two, who were glaring at her now.

"They won't. So, y'know... Enjoy."

I almost had to chuckle at her nonchalantness at what I just said, before turning towards Leone as she hissed "Where is this Fiend now?!"

Almost on cue, Cali poked her head out from behind the door, her snake hair hissing softly, like they were trying to copy Leone.

"You called~?"
