Chapter 329: Suddenly Appearing Inside A Fox Girl's Dream!
-----
As Drake and Benladann took a nap, the baby within Benladann's stomach suddenly moved around.
It had grown rather big after half a month from the battle against the Vampires, it was now perhaps fist-sized. And it was developing eyes, a brain, heart, and more. It even had ad very long draconic tail, but without the scales yet, and two tiny vestiges of horns, which might grow bigger in the future.
The baby glowed with bright light, as it released something strange that it had suddenly developed through its stages of development as an embryo, a flashing power that defied magic itself.
It emanated a bright flash so bright it coated its mother and its father that was at her side hugging her while sleeping.
The two were suddenly embraced by this bright light of enormous power, as the runes and magic power set over their bodies broke down, and the defenses to the dream inheritance Drake had made suddenly broke and shattered!
The baby has merely done this on a whim, it really didn't intend to do it! It was simply developing its strange powers, and it ended breaking down runes set around itself…
Which… as a result, provoked that Drake and Benladann were pulled straight into the Dream Inheritance of Belle, like fishes being caught in a net and being dragged into a ship!
The two souls flew inside incredibly quickly and without stopping. Without realizing it, they had arrived inside through a portal, appearing here while standing motionlessly.
"Huh?"
The two looked around, as they felt an utter sense of panic.
"Wait…! T-This is…"
Drake quickly got alert, as he grabbed Benladann's hand and looked around himself while conjuring a Dream Spell to get out of here.
"How did we arrive here out of nowhere?!" asked Benladann.
"I-I don't know! My spell suddenly dispelled itself as we slept! What the heck?!" wondered Drake, feeling utterly confused!
As he quickly made a way to get out, a cute pink-haired fox girl rushed towards them!
"WAAAAAAAIT!"
"S-Shit, that monster is already here!" said Benladann.
"Fuck! I won't make it in time!" muttered Drake, gritting his teeth. There was no time, he would have to fight this Venerable to defend his love!
The figure of the malicious Fox girl emerged closer and closer, as her flashing crimson-red eyes emanated an air of eeriness! Her power was immense, and her predatory instincts were skyrocketing as she rushed towards the two while running on four legs, she really looked like a crazed fox about to bite on its prey! The two were completely justified for thinking that she had bad intentions! She had terrible manners and couldn't even contain her excitement!
"WAAAIT! PLEASE!" she roared.
"Like hell, we'll wait!" roared Drake, as he was about to confront her, but suddenly…!
"Eh?!"
"Ah?!"
"Please, forgive me! Please! I am very sorry!"
The fox girl suddenly kneeled before the two?!
"What in tarnation?!" muttered Drake in utter disbelief.
A Venerable… kneeling before two measly and pathetic mortals?!
"Indeed! What in tarnation was this?!" asked Benladann.
The Fox Girl, which name was Belle, was kneeling pathetically before the two, and even sobbing sorrowfully.
"Please don't go! I don't want to be a bad person, I swear! I acted rudely and was just a total asshole! B-But I am not like that! I am not like the main body! I've changed… I don't have to act like this because I will only make people mistrust me…" she cried while sobbing.
"E-Ehh?!"
Drake suddenly saw as the fox girl crawled into his leg and grabbed it with her thin arms.
"Pleash… Don't goooooo!" she sobbed.
"Ugh…!"
Drake suddenly felt a bit disgusted as the girl's mucus and tears began to cover his pants, he quickly pulled out his leg a bit rudely, as the fox girl began to sob even louder.
"I am sorry! Really, really sorry!" she muttered.
"Are you really the same fox girl as before?!" asked Benladann in utter shock.
"Y-Yes, Benladann! I am sorry… I shouldn't have been greedy. But I am a fox, it comes with the race!" she apologized.
"So you're saying fox are greedy and that's why you dared to try to take away my wife's soul as if it were an item for your sick experimentations? Is that it?!" roared Drake, he had no mercy!
"I-I am sorry… Drake… I really like you! I want to be your friend and ally too! Just… don't leave me alone…" she muttered.
"How can we know you're saying the truth? And how can we even know you're not trying to convince us with your crocodile tears? Girl, I am not a kid! I won't be easily convinced." Said Drake.
"Y-Yeah, what he said! And even more, why would you ever want to ally us out of the sudden and in such a manner? Aren't you an all-powerful Venerable, or well, what's left of her? Don't you have pride or something? And even without it, why would you want to ask us so much despite being so strong to the point you could merely make us submit?" asked Benladann. She was even sharper than Drake, it seemed! A bit of Miranda was mixed into it.
"Gah… Ugh… I-I know how I acted before. But it is all a misunderstanding, really! I was just too… well, I was really bad… I… I acted rashly, and desperately. I knew you would go away eventually so I wanted to imprison you somewhere so you wouldn't go away from me." She cried.
"Huh? And that's the best way to do it?" asked Drake.
"I already said I am sorry…! I won't do it again… And… please, let's talk more civilized… Let's sit down and speak… I-I am really sorry! I just want to become your ally. Anything than… eternal desolation…" sighed the fox girl.
"So strange, it feels as if she's a completely different person." Said Benladann.
"We can't really trust a person whose personality changes too drastically like this, you know, Belle? Why are you acting so different out of the sudden?" asked Drake.
"First of all… I am not even really Belle… I am a clone of her made out of her consciousness…!" said the fox girl.
