Chapter 439 The Dust Settles, Or Does it?
"It is done." Leaning into the harbor, Arche used the edge of the island as a table to rest her arm on. Looking sideways at Raven, she reached for him with a nail and although she said in a whisper, it was heard clear as day by the baffled islanders. "I'd like to have my reward this very night~"
"Wh-what reward?" Regalia coughed, still struggling in Erika's hand while the priestess healed her legs.
Turning to face the giantess, the wolf-girl growled at the Arachne. Regalia knew Arche's intentions well, and that scared her to a degree. To have a child and eat the father whose flesh would breathe strength into her countless babies–the mastery of her monstrosity was what had kept Raven from doing anything major with her, and although the girls didn't know it yet, he already had a plan to satisfy the spider-girl without any risks.
"Can we talk about this later?" Stepping forward, Raven tapped the ruby bracelet on his wrist. "We still need to figure out where the scrolls went, why don't you keep the other monster girls company while we figure this out?"
Resting her head on the back of her hand, Arche stared upwards at Raven for a while. Her desires, although apparent, couldn't be fulfilled just yet, at least not until the night arrived and the rest of the girls were sleeping.
"Don't make me wait too long, you won't like me when I'm angry..." With those words, Arche closed her eyes and accepted Raven's request to go back into the bracelet.
Right as Arche was gone, the ocean settled and the drowning spiders out in the ocean vanished completely. Taking out Mino and Maine in her stead, Raven looked right at the girls and handed them appropriate tasks corresponding to their abilities.
"Mino, come with me to the ship. We're gonna use your sense of smell to find the scrolls and Maine, the others probably saw Arche already, but I still want you to fly over to them and make them stay at the campsite." Considering the risk of having someone like Moxy rushing over to the bay to check on the situation, Raven wanted to keep the rest of the party at the campsite.
"Why not teleport back and tell them yourself? Won't they trust you more?" Mino suggested, but after being teleported into the middle of the ocean, Raven was slightly hesitant to use the necklace again, just yet.
"MAINE! YOU STUPID BITCH WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Shaking the lamia from the other side, Mino tried to insult her into a fight, and yet the monster girl continued cackling.
"Erika, come check on her now!" Looking at Erika, Raven expected her to come rushing in, but without Asmodia, even she was afraid of whatever was controlling the lamia. Her priestly instincts were keeping her afar.
"S-something un-godly is i-inside I-I..." Quivering at the sight unfolding before her, Erika was suffering the most right next to the monster girl. Tears welled up in her eyes as the pain coursed through her flesh, but the pain shared was not halved, instead it was multiplied. "AGGHHH! AAAAHHHH!"
Screaming she dropped to the floor and the words of the she-devil rushed into her mind. Considering the priestess the worst of threats, the devil was not just trying to keep her at bay, but also take over her so she could cause even more mayhem.
"ERIKA?! WELL–FUCK!" Having not the slightest clue what was going on, quickly gestured for the rest to walk closer to him so he could teleport them to Linkle at once.
'I sure hope she knows what to do!'
Putting Maine back into the ruby for the moment, Raven had Mel grab onto him and Erika so they could teleport her too.
'It went wrong so quick, what the fuck actually happened?!'
Freaking out even as the teleportation began, Raven truly wished they wouldn't have to stay one moment more on this island than what was required for them to get another ship.
