After obtaining the Scarlet Dream Blade, Kael discovered that it was essentially an object that had co to life.
Rather than calling it a sword, it's more accurate to say it's a creature specifically molded into the form of a sword.
Considering its raw material is the flesh of the Evil God, calling it a living thing is not an overstatent.
However, it seed that for so reason, the sinful power hidden within the Scarlet Dream Blade had already been cleansed.
What's more interesting is that even the power and essence originally belonging to the Prince of Lies in Kael's Divine Armor had been altered.
It seed to be the influence of the last Divine Descent of the Four Gods.
All things considered, powerful as the Prince of Lies might be, having considered himself one of His Divine Favored, the unfortunate truth was that the Prince of Lies was mad.
Kael had no desire to beco a crazy beauty, nor did he fancy experiencing the Prince of Lies' "unique love" for his Divine Favored.
Therefore, be it the Scarlet Dream Blade or the Divine Armor, he wished for no trace of Shirek's power to be mixed within them.
At present, to so extent, the one truly in control of this sword was not Kael but a special entity within Kael himself.
Indeed, it was the Gluttonous Sli Queen, Aister.
Aister, as the queen of the Gluttonous Sli Clan, first fused with Oriha Steel, then absorbed her own flesh and blood to bind with Kael, and later, during Kael's release of Demonic Seduction (with Hassaka cleaning up the scene), had withstood the impact of Kael's power more than once.
The most pitiful ti was during the two instances of dungeon assaults, where she had to absorb both the Scarlet Dream Blade and the Divine Armor in unavoidable circumstances.
The consequences that followed were unimaginable, and this Sli Girl, who once seed docile and cute, like a quiet sister with no blood relation, soon evolved into an indescribable being.
She possessed both fluid and non-fluid characteristics.
She possessed both elental and corporeal characteristics.
She possessed both biological and non-biological characteristics.
She possessed both armored and Scarlet Dream Blade characteristics.
And finally...
Compared to her kinslis who seem obedient but sowhat emotionally deficient because of their unique body structures, she was overly intelligent.
Nevertheless, as his other half and as his equipnt, her innate qualities were still quite remarkable.
Docile yet reserved, fiercely loyal yet sincere, and most importantly, perhaps because Kael was always awoken by his own beauty when looking in the mirror each morning, he was now showing an obvious fondness for looks.
How could anyone bear to forsake Aister when she's so adorable... that was roughly the idea.
Attraction began with appearance, loyalty rested on strength, and he indulged in the conveniences that Aister provided; a special contract ford between them under the binding of both the Magic Contract and Totem Power, tying her future to Kael's.
Compared to Summoners who claim, "Each of my Arcane Pets is my wing," or "Every day is like first love with and my XX Arcane Pet," Mages in principle only have one Arcane Pet.
So they tend to be careful when choosing their Arcane Pet.
Now Aister had beco what she is now... completely of her own shape.
As Aister, transford into the Scarlet Dream Blade, trembled, her humanoid figure slowly erged, speaking to Kael with curiosity:
"Master, drive, battle?"
She was asking Kael if she had been shaped into this form to be driven into battle.
But without a doubt, that wasn't the case.
He rely wanted to test the special properties of the Scarlet Dream Blade again.
She hesitated, then whispered softly:
"Learn from Hassaka, with mouth, or... this?"
She lifted her skirt slightly, tilting her head, seemingly uncertain.
Aister disliked having foreign objects in her body.
Kael's face darkened, and he gave her a knock on the head: "Don't pick up bad habits from Hassaka!"
However, before he could fully enjoy his leisure ti upon returning to the Royal Capital, Hassaka ca to look for him.
"Sister Franca has sothing for ?"
Kael looked at Hassaka, both of them sowhat confused.
They had just settled down in the Royal Capital for how long? It hadn't been many minutes before soone had co on behalf of Franca.
As a kind of major Housekeeper of Lion Heart Castle in a sense, Franca was fair and impartial most of the ti; her main duties were practicing magic and managing so internal affairs of the castle's upper tiers.
As a Holy Domain Mage, she could almost be considered the strongest among the younger generation of the Lion Heart lineage...
Considering the versatility and overwhelming power of a Mage, calling her the strongest among the young generation wouldn't be a problem... probably?
After all, Kael should also have the capability to contend for the title of the strongest descendant of the Lion Heart lineage, but without a proper confrontation, nobody would know.
Yet, such a talent with a high probability of being a strong contender for the Duke's title had declined to participate in the struggle for the position.
In the end, she stepped out of the core circle of competing candidates, becoming a unique figure in her own right.
"Let's et, see her once, and find out what my esteed sister needs that requires to see her as soon as I return to the Royal Capital."
...
It didn't take long before Kael saw his sister who he had long not seen, in Lion Heart Castle.
"Long ti no see, Sister Franca, if there's anything urgent next ti and you need imdiately, you can use a Communication Crystal, so I can co to see you as soon as I arrive at the Royal Capital.."
