Keith. The Fallen. He only knew one thing about himself and that is being the ancient being that has lived for thousands of years with knowledge that people would die for. He is the embodiment of depravity. To sin with everything that he could ever do. Lust, Wrath, Gluttony, Pride, Sloth, Greed and Envy.
The ancient being had incarnated with a very sole purpose aside from being the embodiment of depravity. The broken memory of what he could recover and remember since incarnation within Rei's body. He could only wonder why he had made such a promise and oath.
– Do not turn a blind eye.
– To save those who are in need.
It was utterly confusing why he had to do such things like a saint when one of the things he remembers the most was being the embodiment of depravity. He had killed dozens of people then raped women while also offering children as a sacrifice for his entertainment to either watch them being burned alive or to have them being eaten by otherworldly beings that sorcerers nowadays exterminate immediately due to its animalistic nature.
If there was one thing to describe him, it was depravity itself where people cannot comprehend his mind and intentions. Only sinful acts that make him who he is now. So, why is that the being himself that is the sole incarnation of depravity was interested in Eunji Jeong?
She got the figure especially with those child bearing hips that he would often imagine with his hold. The sorceress had a great prowess that almost has the same as his while she only lacked in levels below him.
"What's wrong? Like what you see?" Keith teased the strawberry blonde after manifesting completely out of Rei's body, not in the fox form that Rinka and her would usually see but the one that Rei had always seen in his mindscape.
The ancient being was surprisingly handsome, face looking like an idol that most women would often make degraded comments for desiring him. His hair with an undercut that most Korean males would often have, the jet black hair with blood red highlights along the tips that Eunji noticed the most. Body shaped and carved into what most women would often describe for types of men. Defined abs and hard looking muscles especially with the upper torso. The most memorable thing that Eunji would often have in her mind was the tattoo markings it had.
The face that she had seen when Rei was possessed then the other ones on the forearms that had three stripe lines connecting around it. It was oddly similar to those in Japanese history of criminal tattoos in the Edo period.
"Nope. Just trying to forget cause you look shxt." Eunji responded, pretending to be not interested when Rinka could obviously tell that the sorceress was having a dilemma.
'Gurl, why in god's sake are fxcking lying…' The orange brown haired girl thought to herself.
Meanwhile, the strawberry blonde was internally breaking down. One day, she was impressed with the ancient beings' combat capabilities both physically and prowess usage. Then now to know its face without in its usual fox form or when Rei is possessed.
'GODDAMN!'
Is the only thing she could utter to herself. Sure that she's cold, ruthless and mean but that doesn't mean that she has no types of men in the romance department. She's picky with men since she mostly has them either perverted or flirty which makes her ice cold to everyone except for those she can tolerate with.
Eunji hates the fact that the 'Fallen' had such an impressive figure and a handsome face. "How is it that the ones with the most impressive figures are ones who are batshxt insane or more less like him?!" The strawberry blonde thought to herself, surprised and wondering if she should take a peek but decided not to.
Rinka, on the other hand, was impressed to the point she got bold enough to ask for him to have permission to touch his muscles. "Damn! Eunji! You gotta feel this one out! It's rock solid? Probably better than those smut books that you read!" The orange brown haired girl exclaimed which caught Eunji off guard, her entire face red and expression being very flustered.
"Hell No! I do not need touch that shxt!" Eunji exclaimed while Keith looked at her with intrigued, "So, you rather read smut than seeing me?"
"Huh? Yes– Wait– No! I mean– FXCK!" The sorceress stuttered, completely flustered by Keith's statement. "You bastard! That's not–" Eunji paused as Keith looked at her with a smug look with his face close to her face. "How cute ~ I guess an 'Ice Queen' like you can melt too ~"
Eunji immediately manifested an ice crystal in a form of a blade to which just phase through him. "Fxck you!" The sorceress screamed while the ancient being laughed at her, "Oh ~ Please do ~"
Rei sweatdroppped on the other side of the room while Rinka was just enjoying how her best friend was responding. "Anyways. Shall I give y'all some wisdom?" Keith asked to which Rei shook his head profusely while Rinka and Eunji nodded their heads as the black haired male could only sigh and accept what came next.
Keith immediately vanished as he punched Rinks in the guts, making the orange brown haired girl spit out blood while Eunji tried to fight but felt something was off when she looked at her right arm which was cut cleanly.
"Lesson is starting." The ancient being announced before putting his foot on Rinka's head, making her kneel down while using some sort of energy force that made Eunji kneel down on her knees.
"Focus." Keith uttered, his multiple eyes looking at the two girls. The main set of eyes, golden yellow eyeing Eunji, the other set above the main ones with the left blue and other red looking directly at Rinka and Eunji, then the other set below the main ones with the same color as the extra two which also stared at Eunji and Rinka.
"Remove pride. Only survival. Focus. Commit." Keith said as he watched their spiritual energy flow becoming much better than before.
Rinka was breathing heavily, her pride heavily injured yet her instincts for survival kicked in. She never knew how to heal like Eunji yet here she was, putting everything in the line and figuring out how to heal herself.
'Come on… Heal… Heal…' The orange brown haired girl uttered to herself, visualising her blood carrying the spiritual energy to travel quickly to heal herself.
"Good. Now, keep going." Keith commanded as Rinka complied, for the first time in her life to acquire a healing technique instead of relying on every potion and tonics.
Rinka could feel the injury that she sustained healing slowly despite how slow it was. Every second that she healed, sharp stinging pain continued to get sent through her veins.
Meanwhile, Eunji was focusing with the flow of her spiritual energy. Trying to visualise how her arm used to be there and it's structure. "Fxck… How is this working?" The strawberry blonde sorceress thinks to herself as ber arm was slowly healing, flesh, bones and blood slowly forming her hand all together.
"You're quite quick at that." Keith commented as Eunji glared at him, "Of course, asshole! Would've ended my career as a sorceress." She retorted while Rinka finished healing herself as she was breathing heavily when Keith had lifted his foot.
"Good job. You know, I'm surprised that none of y'all are good at self healing techniques when god-tiers or high-tiers should have that as a passive technique by now." He stated which confused Rinka and Eunji before Keith explained further, "Prowess have a sort of backup for certain emitter type users. Think of it as a battery or a source for healing yourself to continue functioning without being in a vulnerable physical stage while your prowess can take of the rest."
The two girls were confused as he explained more, "Prowess like this beauty and this blood brat can develop a passive ability to sense things die to the nature of their prowess but it also comes with a great source to have emergency cases for them in certain situations."
"It may appear as something natural but the moment you are push to your limits, you'll come to focus and realise that aspect of your passive ability that y'all don't even know of since it appears so little that it can't be registered as a technique except for the heightened sense that it gave you."
Eunji was impressed with the results of the healing then at Keith who was explaining things while Rinka had just finished healing hers. The strawberry blonde testing her hand, gripping and flexing it around as she was glaring the ancient being before looking directly at Rei with such intensity.
"Now that you are looking at him. Almost forgot about his own training." Keith said as Rei panicked before a slashed went over his torso, the cut deep as the black haired male breath heavily as he focused on healing himself.
Eunji sighed as she wondered if she should thank him for giving them an insight of their capabilities even if it's extreme although his smug look made her retract everything back. "I hate you." The strawberry blonde said before checking her hand again if it's actually there rather than her just being delusional.
"I love you too ~" Keith teased as he interlocked his left hand to her healed one, enjoying teasing her while Rinka was silently commenting at Rei's intense training.
Keith looking more to be comfortable rather than his usual sadistic and unusual behaviour when around Rei and Sylvie.
'Maybe I'll play with them a bit further.' The ancient being thought to himself as he smirked at Eunji's flustered expression.
