Chapter 37 - The Living weapon

The gauntlets flying towards reiji shine.A black orb appears while a humming can be heard around the room. this noise shakes the floor and a pressure appears.

The ball breaks, and a Girl with long silken black hair appears she is tall and thin her hands covered in a mettalic black sheen. they are a copy of the gauntlets reiji had. Her eyes a piercing cold blue with flowery pupils. Her outfit is a black dress with a short skirt, and metal pair of boots that go past her knees.

She looks to Caldus and attacks him. She jumps up and axe kicks at caldus. Caldus spins grabbing his sword. He slashes at her and she counters with a back gang to the side of the sword.

Reiji gets behind her and pulls her back. Caldus sword is back in his sheath, and a cut appears on her face. She looks back at her second assailant then kneels.

"Master I am sorry I didn't recognize you."

the guild masters mouth is wide open. " Reiji those gauntlets were yours?"

Reiji nods " I thought id lost them how did you get them."

The girl interjects glaring at Caldus. " This heathen grabbed me from the battlefield." when I sensed your presence I lost my patience and attacked him."

"Master reiji you can call me anything you want , but that man I want to kill him."

reijis eyes widen " um...im confused your saying I'm your master, but who are you."

The girls eyes tear up. " how cruel I have been waiting for you for a long time its been months since I last felt your magic."

Reiji exerts some magic, and she smiles the magical aura absorbed into the girl.

"Thank you for the meal master."

Caldus slaps his head then says."The living weapon...Death gauntlets."

The girl smirks "that's just my main forms name. My true name is decided by my Master."

Caldus sighs "Look reiji I don't know where you got those gauntlets."

The girl interjects glaring at caldus " beast man you want a fight do you?"

Caldus just tosses his sword down. " Please no I'd rather not be marked I have things to live for."

She smiles then turns to reiji "so Master it is time to form our contract." reiji raises his brow.

" Contract? what does this contract entail?"

she smiles "As long as you live no one else can use me. as long as I and you exist together. I will follow your orders and fulfill any desire, and in exchange I will devour your delicious magical power."

Reiji responds " ok so how do we seal this contract?" She cuts him off by kissing him.

reiji pulls back shocked as he and the girl shine a lotus appears on her forehead. Contract complete my dear. reiji screams out.

"HUUUUUUUUUH?!?!?!" Caldus chuckles at reijis response.

"A living weapon, until your death, her and you.

Reiji you just got married hahahahaha."

The girl blushes her eyes shining " I havent been contracted in 1000 years." reiji says

"Wait how old are" he is stopped by a dark smile from her. "haven't you hears its rude to ask a lady her age?"

The ruckus from the contract and reijis new marriage dues down. Caldus continues explaining the specifics about the job.

"This job is knight rank in difficulty. it is required to be knight rank to accept but you bypass ranks so I want you to complete it. this quest may be your death in your weakened state. your aura is a lot weaker than when you fought soma. the reward is also an apology for that battle. We had never thought one of our own was a spy."

"Master reiji almost died you should be grateful he was even willing to help. your lucky he's so kind or I would kill you." The woman says smashing the table. caldus raises his hands in surrender.

Caldus continues " I am sorry reiji your power was weakened due to our negligence, but before you leave the king wants you to go see the hero in the dungeon."

The girl looks at reiji sensing his anger.

Reiji stands and walks out holding the quest listing. He makes his way to the dungeon with the girl in tow. Reiji steps in front of the door to the dungeon and a guard who lived through the battle kneels to him.

[guard 1] Lord reiji it is my honor to lead you to that one's cell. please be warned they are aggressive, and chained with special magic disabling shackles. are you ready to meet the one behind the attack?

Reiji turns to the girl. Your name shall be Lilith Hashimiya. Let's go see this fake hero.

The guard hits his chest proudly. the guard us happy to be of service to the one who stopped the giant beast.

Lilith is happily holding on to reijis hand. Reiji shivers at the thought of what Lilith will do when she finds out she is girl number 3.

the group reach the cell and a shadow rushes the cell door stopped by the chains.

The shadows appearance is then illuminated by the light. The one behind the attack is...
