Behind the giant door lies an even bigger beast, a tiger larger than any land animal Dante had ever seen, The tiger was lying on the cold ground of the dungeon shackled to the wall, chains of mana cause its limbs bound to the floor along with its long orange and black striped tail, while a chain attached to the wall behind it's abnormally large body bound its neck causes it to bleed lightly. Small droplets of crimson fluid hitting the floor being the only sound in the room, as Dante and the little girl walked into the dungeon its large orange eyes glared at the two, before quickly softening it's gaze.
"O-Odella!" Tiger muttered
"Mommy!" The child screamed, jumping from Dante's arm she ran to the tiger with tears beginning to stream.
"It spoke?! Wait kid did you say "mommy" is that thing your mom?" Dante asked not believing what he just heard
"Y-Yes I am indeed this child's mother," The tigress said with a threatening tone
"Human, Did you save my daughter from those bastards?" " the tigress yelled drawing Dante's attention
"Yeah I did" Dante replied, still trying to calm himself from the earlier shock
"I would get up and thank but my mana reserves are exhausted due to these blasted chains, so please excuse me." the tigress said with a regretful tone
"Don't worry about it I didn't save her to be thanked," Dante said feeling awkward
"You are too kind human...what are you after?" the tigress asked with a suspecting tone
"I just told you I didn-" Before he could rebuttal he was interrupted
"Can you please free Mommy like you did for Odella?" Odella asked with a hopeful face
"Yes I can free her but I can't heal her, and she is pretty beat up," Dante said
"I don't need you to heal me human! Just set me free from the dammed chains and I will repay you for your kindness." the tigress asked, getting weaker by the minute
"What is your name and how did you two end up in this situation?" Dante asked the two as he blew off the chains.
"Thank you, My name is Soma Shelackra, daughter of Luna and Damon and former heiress of the Crimson Tiger clan," soma said with a proud yet dejected look written on her face
So this is who the
"Hmm, former heiress?" Dante inquired
"Yes former, over six years ago now I had asked my parents for permission to marry a knight of Stroman's church, but women of the tiger clan a forbidden from marrying someone weaker than themselves. In the past I was but a stubborn and naive child, so I ended up choosing a man over the sacred rules of my clan, and as a result, my power has diminished to such a sorry state, by leaving the clan I have lost my position of heiress and my mana core has received irreversible, but thankfully I still retain a good majority of my physical strength. to this day I still loathe my past self for believing that son of a bitch." Soma wore a regretful look
(A/N: Her husband was an intermediate level paladin so use this as a reference)
"Oh! which "son of a bitch" has taken advantage of the heiress of the tiger clan?" Dante asked very intrigued by the sudden confession
"He was a bastard of an ex-husband who betrayed us, he lied to me, and yet I believed him like a fool. The bastard must have this planned from the start. he had taken us out for an afternoon picnic and those bastards you killed to get here had ambushed us before our departure. I managed to take out a fair amount of them, yet I was taken down in the end." Soma said almost growling with rage seething from her fang, a thin red aura enveloping the room
"Soma chill out you're scaring Odella!" Dante warned after seeing the shivering child ducking behind him
"O-oh, I'm so sorry Odella." Soma apologized to her daughter
"It's okay Mommy!" Odella said with a cheerful smile
'By restoring her mana core I could convince her to become something like my sword or something and huhuhuhu!' Dante thought, chuckling to himself already drawing up a foolproof plan in his head.
'What the hell is wrong with this human?' Soma thought to herself, wary of Dante's motives
'Hey system' Dante thought
[ yes host ]
'Could I make here a new mana core with my current number of creations points' Dante asked ready to put his plan into action
[Yes host, you could give her a very high mana core with your current amount ]
'Craft the highest quality mana core you can, and hold it I'll give it to her later Dante told the system
[ As you wish host ]
Dante went to the previous room to retrieve the baron's head, and proceeded down the hallway, and blew the locks off of the cells, the freed slaves were singing, crying, laughing, a myriad of emotions washed over the mansion. Dante told Soma and Odella to stay in the mansion for now so as to not draw attention to themselves as Soma was still in her beast form unable to change back due to her mana being exhausted.
Dante made his way back to the capital to retrieve his awards from the guild.
"Thank you for your service sir, here are your 5 platinum coins." The receptionist said with the same broad smile as always
Dante went and bought some basic armor, food, and other necessities. Making his way back to the mansion, Dante encounter a pack of what seemed to be dire wolves but much larger than what he was used to. Running and scaling a tree to get a better shot before the wolves noticed his presence, his sights were set on around sixteen wolves.
POP!
POP!
POP!
POP!
The heads of the wolves popped as if immense pressure was put on them. Dante dropped from the tree and stored the the bodies.
[16 Ethereal slain ]
[ 640 creations have been received ]
….
By the time Dante made it back to the mansion, it was nightfall, opening the gate to the front courtyard the smell of blood still stuck to the air. waltzing through the front door, Dante saw Soma slowly making her way down the staircase.
"Where's Odella? I brought some food and clothes for the both of you" Dante asked with bags in his hand
"She fell asleep a long while ago, this incident has put much strain on her body" Soma replied
[ Host I advise that you give her the mana core, as she has grown weaker since your departure ]
'This should be a good time to do it I guess.' Dante replied to the system
"Soma I have something to give you, follow me upstairs."
"Yes?" Soma said with an air of confusion surrounding her
The two made their way to an empty room, only a single bed lay in the very middle of the room.
"Come here," Dante said gesturing for the tigress to come to him while he pulled the mana core from his storage space
Soma was right in front of Dante, she towered over him her head nearly touching the ceiling.
'System how should I give her the core?' Dante asked
[ Plant the core in her chest ]
'Alright' Dante replied
Dante made his way up to Soma and planted the core into her fur causing Soma to become startled, but before she could question him the system began to act as it replaced the old mana core with the brand new one. After the core was injected Soma's whole being shook, As she suffered great pain
"AAAAAHHH!" Soma screamed as the pain she was enduring was worse than anything she had ever felt.
"Soma hold on just a little while longer." Dante expressed words of encouragement
Soma's appearance slowly began as fire enveloped her fur it all startled to fall off as she started to shrink. As the great blaze started to dissipate a 6'3 figure with slender legs, fiery red hair, profound muscles, two large mounds not too big yet just right, distinct curves in all the right, as her tail swayed back and forth in a seductive way, she looked up at Dante with a face just as red as her hair.
"W- What did you do to me human." Soma snarled at Dante
"I replaced your mana core with a much more suitable one," Dante said mater-of-factly
"You bastard what did you do to me," Soma said limping toward Dante, not hearing his answer
"Didn't I just-" Dante had been cut off by a sudden kiss from soma of the tiger clan
(A/N: I swear I'm not a furry)
