Chapter 16

After getting over the sudden and genuinely unsettling feeling of incongruity of hearing a little girl's voice gleefully (?) promoting a skill she can use to fuck like crazy, Sora quickly focused on understanding the specific capabilities of the mutated Quirks in more detail.

I was curious about the ability to increase the effects of Quirks with Maryoku.

Upon questioning Alice in great detail, it turns out that the natural ability to enhance the addictive and aphrodisiac effects of her fluids stems from what in this world they call Mana Art, which is basically a form of mana manipulation with a fancy name.

By using maryoku to cause the mana within objects or even concepts to move, an Aspirant can not only manipulate it, but also enhance it, even without understanding its structure or composition, achieving things that are normally impossible.

Some had the strange impression that mana—the so-called breath of the planet—was only in the atmosphere, but that was not entirely accurate.

Mana permeates almost everything and flows through both material and immaterial beings. A higher concentration of mana in the environment simply means there's plenty of free mana filling a space rather than flowing through a material structure, and due to its nature, mana can easily infiltrate anything and strengthen it without needing to be limited by mere human cognition.

Rather, all you have to do is send a mental command with maryoku to the mana to achieve a specific result according to your desires…. It sounds good on paper, but what is achieved is quite limited compared to what is achieved with magic formulas that follow an established sequential order.

This certainly couldn't be called sorcery, like Reinforcement, since it clearly didn't use thaumaturgical principles or magical sequences; it was basically a limited alteration of matter achieved with a powerful will to alter reality by commanding the very energy of nature itself, the principle of which was used in transmutation spells with far more efficient results.

…And Arthur could now do almost the same thing by pure instinct….in his private parts and his bodily fluids, that is.

All to achieve maximum effect with all the women you end up with in bed!

—What absurd Mutant Quirks!

I was amazed.

No, more than that, he felt pretty ridiculous.

The ability to perform a technique like that naturally…just to do kinky things?

Even though he was the man he was, his lips still twitched at the ridiculousness.

He certainly wasn't going to complain about what he was given and was even quite happy, but this was a little...

No, it doesn't matter. This is good anyway.

He decided not to think too much about it. Wasn't this ability beneficial to him, at least in the bedroom? He'd just get on with his life, enjoying the benefits, and not worrying about the small details.

Feeling the slightly tight sensation in his groin again, Sora quickly pushed aside his thoughts, removed his shorts, and looked down at himself. His third leg looked considerably more imposing than it had half an hour ago, though not to an exaggerated degree.

It's just that the veins that stood out even in his resting state made him imagine how amazing he would look standing tall and proud. That thought alone brought a happy smile to his face.

That aside, he immediately sat back down (sans shorts) as he looked back at the 2D gacha machine that had settled into the corner of his vision. He quickly bought it and put in a token to pull the lever down again.

He felt like his luck had improved!

The black-haired man looked at the giant roulette wheel with anticipation.

Expectations that were quickly ruined.

<Item: Healing Heart Herb from Harvest Moon, Sun Island>

<Rank: 12>

<Description: A special plant from the Sun Islands that can be used to restore the user's health to a certain degree. On its own, it's not very valuable, but when mixed with other types of heart herbs as ingredients, a product with special effects can be created…>

—¡Harvest Moon, +_#(€((*#!

The moment he saw that silly weed and its name, Sora cursed!

He cursed the creator of that fucking farming game who was probably older than his great-grandfather!

He cursed the System, Alice, who was clearly trolling him!

And just in case, he cursed the Administrator and all her relatives….!

<I shouldn't do that>

-Be quiet!

Dismissing the system's apparent warning, Arthur sneered before ordering another gacha token, determined to confirm that this gacha system was a sham.

"I hope you give me something good again this time, or forget about me doing what you want, Administrator! " He roared in his heart.

——Honestly, he never expected his pathetic threat to bring about such a dramatic change in the gacha results. Without much expectation, he believed that at most, if this wasn't truly random, they would give him something decent to calm him down…

But before his eyes, an image had appeared depicting a beautiful loli with silver-white hair and violet eyes, basically naked, with the design of a dignified divine sword behind her.

That appearance seemed extremely familiar to him.

Beautiful and glorious words also appeared shortly after, explaining things that would confirm his identity.

[Object: Terminus Est]

[Rank: 19]

[Description: Terminus Est (or simply Est) is one of the most powerful "Steel Spirits (or Swords)". It holds titles such as the "Shapeshifting Sword", "Bag of Curses", among others that show its reputation since ancient times. In its "elemental waffe" form, it transforms into a sword called the "Demon Slayer", also known as the "Demon King Killing Sacred Sword" or "The Sacred Sword of Severian". This spirit sword belongs to the Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance verse, and since it is also similar to a false servant, it requires a considerable amount of SP to summon. However, the temporary summoning disadvantage is removed as it is also classified as a Master-bound Noble Phantasm.]

Sora stared in a daze at what the roulette was awarding him... and then exclaimed happily in his head.

Damn, a fake Servant who is also a Noble Phantasm….!

Can I really have my own Noble Phantasm!?

Sora was amazed.

After all, what were the Noble Phantasms?

Also called Valuable Tools, Noble Phantasms are "crystallized mysteries," powerful armaments made with the imagination of humans as their core and weapons or abilities possessed by Heroic Spirits.

They are the embodiment of the final mysteries of a hero who symbolizes one's existence through historical events and anecdotes told throughout time... They are the manifestation of his legendary history!

They can be physical weapons, such as swords, spears, and bows, or props, such as rings and crowns. They can also be abstract concepts, such as unique abilities, unique means of attack, curses, and changes to the environment and its physical properties.

When summoned as Servants in the Holy Grail War, they are the heroes' trump cards that allow them to defeat others in battle.

Noble Phantasms are part of the Heroic Spirits' existence; stories about their prowess and weaponry become part of the "symbol" of their existence. Like the "ultimate mysteries" and the incarnation of heroes, they are trump cards carried by each one to be used at the right moment.

Most of them will belong to only a single hero, activated only by them, their true owners, by channeling magical energy into them and casting their True Names.

There are cases like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, which are possessed by multiple heroes, Nebuchadnezzar II, who possesses it by fact, and Semiramis, who possesses it by distortion of fact. Each of them possesses a vast amount of magical energy, showing that they are "outside the norm," miracles that surpass both humanity and magic.

In short, they were one of the most important powers of a Heroic Spirit, if not the most important.

And the system says it will give him just one because he got it in gacha…. Many in the Nasuverse would be in disbelief!

More than that!

It wasn't a Heroic Spirit Noble Phantasm in the Nasuverse...it was a character from another verse that was turned into a Noble Phantasm by the system!

A Noble Phantasm, the crystallization of human imagination and one of the coolest items in the Nasuverse, is in my hands thanks to a poorly made gacha game? Who would believe such crap? And it's Terminus Est of all things? This...

Sora couldn't believe his luck. He'd just cursed the system and all the administrators' generations. And then that masochist came along and rewarded him for his mistreatment!

God bless you, my beloved lady of luck! I swear I'll make it up to you in bed in the future!

<Message from a subscriber: Lady Luck>

<Lady Luck smiles at you and sends you a wink, "I'm sure you will, darling 😘>

-???

What the devil?

Sora didn't really know whether he should take Lady Luck's supposed message as a prank from the masochistic Administrator or not, but he put that question aside for now.

After all, her future Noble Phantasm was Terminus Est, the sword that could turn into a Loli!

Although Shigaraki Sora wasn't particularly fond of the anime Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, he had watched it with his grandfather and Yüna on occasion because the former seemed very happy and nostalgic about it, wanting to show his favorite anime to young people. And among the many characters in that anime, the one that appealed to him the most was Est.

Mind you, not because she was a Loli.

If not because she was a very powerful sword that could turn into a beautiful Loli!

While he'd be lying if he said he remembered every detail about her, Sora did know a few things about the character. After all, she was a character he really liked, and he'd even imagined having her in his hands before because he liked her personality and demeanor.

Terminus Est was a high-class spirit, a sword-like loli who rarely showed emotions to others. At the beginning of her contract with Kamito, the protagonist, she showed no emotion, which Sora found appealing.

At certain times, she acted innocent and fragile, while at other times, she was strong and serious. But she always did all of this with her characteristic expressionless face. Therefore, she has always caused misunderstandings between the protagonist and the girls in his harem. As the story progresses, Est would begin to express various feelings toward Kamito.

And that's where one of the reasons Sora loves her comes in.

After all, other than her master, Est isn't really interested in interacting with anyone else. She's also overly protective of her master, liking him to pet her head and occasionally complaining when he stops paying attention to her, which is super cute.

Those things are something Sora wants to experience from such a cute girl... How could he not be excited to have such a beautiful sword-loli eager for his affection?

She was also a lovely girl who was quite shy about showing her bare legs, especially her feet. Because of this, she always chose to wear knee-high socks, which was a very attractive sight for him, he wouldn't deny it. Licking those legs would be... interesting.

However, he didn't forget that the biggest weakness of using Terminus Est was not only transferring the curses it supposedly "destroyed" to its user, but that it would also be slowly taking the life of its master to increase the strength of its user, something he would have to deal with since he didn't want to die slowly.

Especially knowing how painful it was for that demonic sword to know that whoever wielded it was destined to die both from the weight of the curses it devoured and from the strength it granted.

Sora still remembers how sad he was when he saw how Est, after learning the truth behind her master Areishia Idriss's strength, blamed herself and sealed herself away to not let anyone wield her power and thus not lose anyone else because of her.

He wouldn't like it if she refused to be his sword because of something she couldn't control. Though at least it shouldn't be a problem when he starts summoning her, since he remembers her memory at the beginning of the story was very poor, or something like that.

Furthermore, even if he couldn't find anything to help him prevent her from draining his life force or inflicting troublesome curses on him, Sora wasn't too worried. He asked the system what would happen if he summoned her, and it told him it wouldn't be much different from what happened with Kamito, which was a good thing for him.

Terminus Est is certainly the strongest sword spirit, having been used by "Areishia Idriss" to kill the legendary "Demon King Solomon." However, remember that in the original story, due to her incomplete contract with Kamito, she only possessed no more than 1/10 of the power of the "Original Demon Slayer," thus possessing 1/10 of the "Original Demon Slayer's" curse.

Although it wouldn't be as powerful as the original, the side effects of using it would be minor, so even without lifesteal countermeasures, you could still use it.

And Terminus Est was certainly a powerful sword, something that could be seen in how the system classified it.

He recalled that in its Elemental Waffe form, Est is actually one of the most powerful Elemental Waffes. Its size and shape can be changed, but only in the form of a Silver-White sword. Given a little time, it can even break specialized defense Elemental Waffes (such as shields and armor), which should be impossible for a sword-type Elemental Waffe.

After inheriting a part of Restia's powers (another character related to this Kamito), his name changed to "Terminus Est Zwei" and his "Elemental Waffe" form would now be known as the "Sword of the Demon King", obtaining the ability to use Restia's technique (in her "Elemental Waffe" form, "Vorpal Sword"), "Vorpal Blast".

Sora didn't know if he could do the same with the help of the master system, but he hoped so. After all, its abilities were very powerful. Images of Kamito using the power of the Loli Sword blossomed in his mind again, and a lust for that power grew in his heart.

Her ability to negate spirit sorcery in particular would be useful against powerful Spiritualists. Sora remembered a certain female supporting character with excellent talent in spirit sorcery, and thought such an ability would be useful against her if the situation called for it.

I hope I can avoid it, after all, she is a beautiful green-haired "Fairy" that I'd like to lure into my net...

He shook his head at that thought. There were more important things to consider if he ended up fighting with someone who didn't even like fighting when "that event" hadn't even happened yet.

After all, with Est being summoned to this world, the plot was bound to change in disproportionate ways. And the best part was that it wasn't a temporary summon with annoying conditions to ensure its continuity in this Story World... perhaps because it's a hybrid card?

Anyway, I'll have my loli sword in my hands very soon... Alice-chan, start summoning Terminus Est!

<Because its original power is sealed, only 12,000 SP is required to perform the summoning of Terminus Est. Do you wish to continue with the summoning process?>

How many points do I have again....?

<16.450>

Lars, I've already spent enough on gacha!  Sora groaned slightly at the realization, but didn't hesitate. I can acquire more points later. Start the process!

Following Sora's command, a floating card emerged from the void and manifested into reality, quickly dispersing into particles of light before him; much to his shock, he instinctively had to cover his eyes with his hands as his senses picked up on a terrifying level of energy emerging from nowhere.

Finally, the light that gradually manifested began to take a specific form.

That of a Sword.

-Wooo!

Is this really Terminus Est manifesting into existence!?

Sora, with some effort, observed the scene, his mind filled with wonder. To think that the system he possessed would be so powerful as to create... no, summon something from another existence into this game-based world.

Her heart began to pump with excitement at what she was witnessing, goosebumps spreading all over her body.

It didn't take long until the light sword generated by the system completely materialized into a physical sword within this existence.

Unlike that time when Kamito found Est alongside that sincerely annoying heroine inside that cave, Terminus Est before him did not at all look like a worn, ancient sword buried in the ground like Excalibur, but a gleaming sword crafted by the finest divine blacksmith in existence.

It was an elegant and magnificent white and blue one-handed longsword with a partially gilded hilt. Its exquisite design was a delight to the eyes, and it truly looked like the sacred sword only a worthy hero would wield.

Surely no one would guess it was a Demon Sword at all. At the very least, Sora could claim it looked more sacred than the anime might portray. He could even feel a sort of divine aura emanating from it.

This is Terminus Est....I can feel so much power coming from her....And she only has a measly amount of her original power left right now! This is fucking incredible!

Trembling with excitement, Sora reached out with a strong, greedy desire in his eyes that would be obvious even to the blind. Then, the unexpected happened.

The otherworldly Spirit Sword spun in the air....and attacked him at a speed that exceeded his reaction!

-But what!?

Before he could react appropriately to this sudden event, his palm was pierced by the aggressive Terminus Est, drawing blood from the wound. Sora then cried out in surprise and pain, but that didn't last long either.

Soon, a new light spread through his laboratory like the gust of a solar call, and when it disappeared after a few seconds of pure intensity, his injured hand was not only healed, it now had a sort of magical tattoo engraved on it...the so-called spiritual seal that acts as proof of the contract between the two, the spirit and the elementalist.

Sora was dumbfounded.

What the hell was that all about, Alice!? My damn summon attacks me, just to form a contract with me!?

What happened to the pact ritual or whatever it's called!? Why did I have to be hurt in the first place like Kamito was!? What the hell is up with this fucking chaotic and pointless process!?

<I sincerely remind the host that the administrator is called Lady Chaos, so don't expect much order with this system.>

That doesn't explain anything!....no, forget it....  Sora gave up. He really should have expected that this system, although powerful, would be somewhat unreliable the moment he found out that its administrator called herself that.

He looked at the spirit mark on his arm, determined to focus solely on his new girl...a.k.a. weapon...that didn't sound right either, although it was correct....Anyway, Sora felt he should be happy to have Terminus Est as his.

-It's a pleasure to meet you, Terminus Est, my name, at least for now, is Arthur...

Even though he said those words, no one answered him even when he waited for a few seconds, which made him feel a little confused.

Had I forgotten something?

He inevitably wondered, as he didn't remember exactly how a contracted Spirit was summoned... nor did he remember what Kamito and Est's relationship was like the first time they met, aside from the incident where he recklessly protected that idiot what's-her-name and was forced to make a contract with Terminus Est...

-Oh... At that moment, Terminus Est turned violently on the idiot redhead because she wouldn't make any spiritual contracts or something with her, right? That's how she ended up in the hands of the annoying redhead savior. I seem to recall at least one of them not wanting to make that contract, and as such, the guy could only materialize a switchblade or something at first...

While Sora didn't remember all the details, he believed that was more or less the case. Either way, it seemed Terminus Est didn't want to communicate with him because it didn't want this contract.

Presumably, the system forced her to make a contract with him because he won her as a Gasha Item. It was also possible that he had forgotten something else, but he wasn't sure... (He forgot that he could try injecting the equivalent of divine essence in that world into the spirit seal~)

-It's not a good start....but it'll work out somehow later, it's not like I'm going to give up on having a lovely relationship with my cute Loli... For now, I have more things to do....

With undoubtedly depraved thoughts in mind as he said that, Sora recalled the three Fake Servant Summon cards he had stored in the system. With the summoning of Terminus Est, although the result was a bit troublesome, he began to feel an interest in putting it to use right now.

I'd already spent too much on both gasha and the Terminus Est summon. Using something free like those gift cards would be nice.

There was just one problem with that: the fact that summoning was limited to low-level beings. He thought about it for a moment, and realized it was pretty useless.

Even if they were the protagonists of Resident Evil, they wouldn't be much use in a fantasy world like this, right?

Logically speaking, summoning higher-level beings should definitely be more useful. Perhaps, he thought, he could use these cards as a shortcut to high-level fake servants, even at a cost.

Hmmm… Alice-chan, is it possible to use SP to obtain more powerful beings? Sora finally asked the system after some thought.

<It is possible, indeed. If the Master is willing to pay 800 SP for a single Random Summon of a Level 70 Fake Servant, it can be easily accomplished. For a Level 100 Random Fake Servant, around 3,000 SP can also be spent.>

—It looks pretty cheap…..

<Although it will only be a high-level but low-ranking being according to Britannia's power system>

—What!? — Sora immediately became enraged —Do you know how much magical energy would have to be spent to achieve Rank promotion to a Low Rank Level 70 or 100!?

I could still remember the story of an idiot player who, thinking that helping a magical beast reach level 100 would make him reach the upper Ranks with ease, ended up discovering to his horror that his great idea was nothing more than a pipe dream (XD), crying over his financial losses upon realizing the truth.

Sora had no interest in replicating his amazing feats.

<If you want to increase the rank of what you summon to be similar to yours, you can sacrifice two summon cards without spending SP>

Sora frowned, seriously considering Alice's advice. The idea of ​​sacrificing a card to obtain a random high-level and high-ranking summon was tempting…

He hesitated for a while, but finally decided. After all, weren't they just low-level character summon cards?

If I could obtain a high-ranking Fake Servant by sacrificing two low-ranking ones…How useful would that be!?

Plus…I wouldn't even have to spend a single SP.

—Sacrifice two Summon Cards to summon a High-Rank Fake Servant!

With his decision made, there was no reason to hesitate any longer. Immediately, three elegant-looking cards appeared in the air, and almost instantly, two of them turned into particles of light that merged with the card in the center, causing it to glow brightly…

Instantly, Sora suddenly felt as if from some mysterious place, that terrifying energy that shaped Terminus Est emanated again with greater intensity, manifesting in this reality and taking the form of an egg of light a few meters in front of him, causing him to look at it with fascination and dismay.

At its formation, it was only the size of a basketball, but gradually began to grow….

He could only stare in amazement at the scene, which was different from what he expected.

Not only that, Sora quickly noticed the appearance of a faint figure of what looked like a fetus inside the glowing energy egg. With a small pulse of continuous light, the egg grew rapidly, and so did the fetus; quickly going from a one-year-old to a five-year-old.

And it kept growing, until…..It took the form of an adult in the fetal position at an incredible speed.

—Incredible…What is this?

The egg enveloping the figure gradually began to crystallize, transforming from energy into low-density matter that emitted a faint, almost sacred light. As soon as this happened, cracks began to spread across the surface of the egg, as if an earthquake were shattering the earth, the shell trembling…

Isn't this a little different from how it was with Est Terms? What kind of summoning is this...?

Sora was dumbfounded. Wasn't this more like the birth of a living being from an egg than the summoning of some kind of spirit? He didn't recall ever seeing anything like it in Fate or FGO.

That's not how you summon a servant, okay!

As he complained about this scene that deviated from his expectations—A cursed Servant about to be born from a giant egg instead of a magic circle—a soft, moon-like light began to emanate from the cracks in the shell.

Before long, it finally collapsed, gradually revealing the glacial figure of a beautiful, naked, winged woman, her vital parts barely concealed, wrapped in a faint, immaterial aura that kept her afloat…

…Huh?

A winged woman? An angel?

With that thought that shows her surprise, she watched as the light of the Aura that surrounded her slowly faded while much of it turned into clothing, finally allowing her to see... a tremendous woman of incredible beauty that one would believe could not exist in reality with quite beautiful wings sprouting from her back!

The girl in question has long pink hair tied tightly with dark pink ribbons behind her back, like two pigtails. Like Luminia, she also has an "Ahoge" over her pink hair like Franx's, and her goddess-like face is adorned with divine emerald eyes suspiciously similar to those of a certain effeminate protagonist.

Despite having pink hair, there were two large strands of hair that were brown on either side of her face.

She was wearing a strange, white garment over her previously naked body, with black stripes; it looked both like a battle uniform due to its shoulder pads and like erotic cosplay meant to emphasize her curvaceous and sexy figure.

Her breasts were almost as large as the Head Maid's, and her dress barely covered them, making them clearly visible. It was almost as if her clothes were specifically designed to enhance her sensuality, making her armpits, collarbone, stomach, and even navel visible… in fact, it was almost as if she was barely covered on her upper body.

Even her skirt seemed quite short, allowing Sora to see her soft, plump butt thanks to her current pose, and on her neck he noticed was what clearly looked like a slave collar.

She remained expressionless, as if unaware, and Sora noticed that near where her ears should be there were some strange communication devices or something similar.

Even now, she floated inside the alchemy laboratory, supported by some force of the system and looking completely ethereal as if she were a true angel descending from the celestial plane.

Her large, soft pink wings quickly wrapped tenderly around her, as if instinctively protecting her from the disturbing gaze of a pervert, effectively blocking out certain pleasurable views mentioned above….

With just that, if you're an Old Anime Otaku like Shiragaki Sora, you should definitely be able to easily tell the other party's identity.

—…..No way! I just got Ikaros as a Heroic Spirit!?

—…Hmm

The shock Sora felt at this fate was so strong that he couldn't help but cry out loud. In response, the other party moaned softly in a tender voice and with a dazed expression as he still floated, staring forward at his current master.

Yes, the False Servant that came out of the summoning egg (?) was none other than the extremely beautiful Ikaros, female protagonist of the anime and manga Sora no Otoshimono…. A powerful Angeloid who loves round things, the Queen of Uranus who wiped out civilizations!
