Chapter Text
The three women would continue to explore the coastal village, both in the midst of their exploration. And during that exploration, Noelle came across a supposed native of this entire island, a young woman by the name of Vera Lune. An apparent native of this entire island. She is a fortune-teller, one who decided to help Noelle out.
At least, that is how it seemed.
But Vera had another motive hidden from Noelle, but would soon be revealed. From the other side of this coastal village, Raven sensed that something was amiss, feeling a kind of dangerous magic in the air.
"Lucy. I think Noelle might be in trouble...This place might not be so empty." Raven said.
"It's not?! Who's here?!" Lucy was shocked. This was a place that didn't have a single living soul, and not even a Lust Entity would be found in such a quiet place. But that didn't seem to be the case.
And speaking of a Lust Entity, the ground would start glowing, forcing the girls to look down. And from it, emerging out of there were Lust Creatures. Specifically, the ones known as Lust Suckers, and there were ten of them in total.
These Lust Suckers would have a more aquatic appearance when they emerged. Still obviously keeping the feminine humanoid figure, but now having a fish tail in place of their legs. They would have scales around their bodies, their hair a dark blue. These aquatic beings had the same goal. Sex, sex and more sex. And their sights were set on Raven and Lucy.
"Mermaids...So it must form Lust Creatures based on location as well?" Lucy asked. This was new to the duo, but they were prepared to fight these creatures off, especially with Raven ready and Lucy bringing out her keys.
"I guess. Makes no difference." Raven said, her hand lighting up with magic.
The Lust Mermaids cried out to them both in a harmonious tone that sounded almost hypnotic and melodic. But their lust and intentions could not sway the heroes in the slightest. It came in the form of purple soundwaves, that had the effect of weakening the willpower of their targets and lowering their inhibitions.
Raven and Lucy grimaced at the melodic sound, hearing it and being affected. Raven promptly put up a shield to protect her and Lucy from the soundwave's influence, blocking the attack. Once the mermaids were close to the duo, the two would strike. But Lucy wouldn't be using a key this time. Instead, she had something else in her arsenal she could use.
From her bag, she unveiled a whip of hers she owned. An extendable whip coming from the constellation of Eridanus. The Fleuve d'étoiles. This was the perfect weapon to deal damage from a distance to a swarm.
"Here goes!" Lucy cried out, whipping at the incoming Mermaids in front of her. She whipped one of the Mermaids hard, the force was enough to knock it into the other. This was her opportunity to follow it up and unleashed a barrage of whip strikes, knocking them back.
Raven would keep them at bay as well, shooting out her magical blasts to the group, and striking the Lust Mermaids that would try and come at the demoness. With a cry of anger, a wave of demonic energy was unleashed, blasting the creatures back and sending them tumbling. Raven was relentless, unleashing a barrage of shadow bolts and explosive blasts upon the monsters, driving them back and preventing them from getting close. Lucy was able to unleash her attacks on the creatures that would be pushed away by Raven. And that was where the Celestial Mage had an advantage over the merfolk, taking the opportunities to strike and beat the mermaids without mercy.
Whipping the lustful aquatic beings, beating them, and hurting them, all while in tandem with Raven, who was using her magical abilities to fight the monsters. Both were on the offensive and had the edge. The mermaids, in a futile attempt at resistance, retaliated by trying to restrain the two with their tails. One of the mermaids lunged towards Raven, trying to wrap her in a crushing grip. But the Demon's Daughter would evade the attack and grab the tail instead. And in an impressive show of her physical strength, the Titan's Daughter would lift the creature off of the floor, spinning it in a circle, and slamming the aquatic entity to the ground.
However, when seeing themselves be put on the backfoot, the Lust Mermaids began changing up their approach. They moved back, instantly hopping into the nearby waters, diving into them, and disappearing from the sight of the two women. In response to the fleeing, Raven and Lucy stood there, watching, waiting. For they were not going to be caught unaware. It didn't take long. When the water began glowing once more, the Mermaids would leap from the waters, all surrounding the pair of women and attacking at the same time, a pincer move to get the upperhand. But they weren't expecting to see a red crystal barrier in front of the two girls, Raven had her magic ready, and was fast enough to create a wall that protected them.
With a snap of her fingers, the barrier expanded, and smacked each and every single one of the Mermaids that were around, the force of the impact hitting and harming the monsters, and knocking some of the Mermaid Lust entities unconscious. Others would recover quickly, and retaliate in the form of a large bubble that formed above the duo, and would rain down a shower of smaller bubbles, all containing an aphrodisiac.
"Agh!" Raven felt the aphrodisiac immediately. The effects were already starting to seep in. Raven groaned in pleasure as the liquid poured over her body. Her breathing quickened and her eyes grew heavy-lidded.
"Raven!" Lucy saw this happening, and knew that her friend was in danger. She rushed over to her, only for one of the Mermaids to jump out of the water, attempting to bite onto Lucy's neck, almost hitting her. "Get away!" But Lucy would kick that Lust Mermaid away, sending her flying.
Afterwards, she would help Raven up, helping the demon's daughter to stay standing and upright, but her mind was a haze. "L-Lucy...Ngh..."
To get her to safety, Lucy would run off with Raven, fleeing from the Lust Mermaids before they could do something else, and would escape from the area.
Back with Noelle, the girl was walking alongside Vera, who had a plan in mind. Not that Noelle had any idea, but the fortune-teller was leading the young mage somewhere. Somewhere specific. A building, that would be a good hiding spot. One that could hide their presence from everyone else. That is where their conversation would lead, to a building on the beach, an abandoned house, not an inn. But an old and dusty home. And from there, that would start the first part of the Fortune Teller's scheme.
"So, Noelle, tell me. Do you miss everyone back home?" Vera said to the Black Bull.
"Hm? Well, yes. I have many friends back home that I wish to see again. My Magic Knight Squad the Black Bulls..." She began explaining, listing her closest allies, her most cherished companions, and her loved ones that she cared about the most. And that's when the silver-haired woman started making a mental list of her own.
'Interesting. So that's who's important to her.' She thought to herself. 'I'll need to have some notes in mind.' All of this, a ploy of sorts. One that was subtle, but effective in the end.
"You know, us natives to the island are rather unsure how to interact to you visitors..." Vera uttered. "It's only been a few months since you've been here and we haven't interacted with you that much. I doubt most of you even know we exist."
"Well, what do you do on this island regularly? We were all sent here for the sake of perversion, but that isn't what the island is truly about, right?" Noelle would ask, and that was when the native would respond, and explain.
"We do have a regular life here indeed..." Vera's smile would grow rather twisted. "But it also ties to lust itself."
"Eh? You even take part it in?" Noelle said, surprised.
"Oh, yes. It is what drives the island...All for the sake of our Goddesses. The Seven Sinful Goddesses." There was a hint of a dark undertone in the voice, and that's when Noelle realized that something was amiss, that something wasn't right, and the feeling that went down her spine made her shiver. Her intuition told her that Vera was up to no good, and the fact that the doors suddenly closed and the windows were sealed shut was proof of that.
And then, the change in the room would happen. From the walls, a pinkish hue of energy came forth from them, a glow that filled the entire place and bathed the interior. Noelle gasped, looking at Vera in surprise and in confusion, and that was when her power would be shown, her magic, a different type of energy that was unknown to the Black Bull member.
"W-What is this!?"
"I am glad to have met you, Noelle. It's not often we natives get to meet with those who are visitors. Truth be told, we've been staying rather inactive from your presence. Especially since you are so different to us...being sentient." Vera spoke ominously. "But that gave us all the time we needed to know how you act. And gain our own sentience."
"...You...You're a Lust Entity!" Noelle pieced it together. How did she not realize this before?! Vera didn't feel like the other natives from the Island of Lust, and that's because the Fortune-Teller wasn't a real human being, but was a Lust Entity the entire time, one that was playing a game of deceit and was leading the young Mage into a trap. The room was the center of it.
"That is correct, my dear." Vera smirked, revealing her true colors. "But I am a new kind. Some of us learned to gain the kind of sentience you visitors have. Enough of that, let me introduce myself. Properly, at the very least." The Fortune-Teller, or at the very least, a female entity pretending to be the Fortune Teller would speak. "It is wonderful...and will allow us to do so much more."
"I won't let you!" Noelle would hold out her wand. The water in her grasp was at the ready, and her Mana was flowing through. This was a duel, and one that would commence. "Water Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar!" Her attack would be launched, the torrent of water in the form of a draconic head was aimed at her foe.
"Hm." Vera smiled . Her eyes glowed. That's when her own magic would be unleashed. Or rather, her true form. She would transform immediately, her human body breaking apart as something else formed from it. The emergence of her true form created a magical aura that would block the Sea Dragon's Roar, causing a powerful outburst of water.
"!" Noelle gasped, seeing the form that appeared before her.
Vera's true form had a lithe, porcelain-like body with shimmering obsidian armor covering only select parts, exposing unnaturally smooth, almost liquid-like skin. Her face is blank, save for glowing crimson lips that sometimes showed up. Her arms were elongated, ending in curved, bladed fingers made of condensed black lust energy. Her back has flowing shadow tendrils, like ribbons caught in a breeze that doesn't exist.
" So now Lust Entities can gain sentience...?!" This was something Noelle had to relay back to everyone else when she gets the chance. She had to make it out of here first so that Vera doesn't succeed.
"It is only the start, Noelle. Now. Allow me to make you my own. It will be wonderful." Vera walked over with her menacing figure. And as she grinned, she rushed forward, ready to slash at No elle, to strike and to harm. However, the Mage was fast enough, and was able to evade the attacks of the Lust Entity. Using her water magic, Noelle would have a sphere of the liquid substance surround her. A Water Shield, a spell that could protect the caster from various forms of harm, be they physical or magical in nature.
Vera laughed, slashing at the Water Shield, her blades striking and slicing, attempting to break through the barrier of mana-infused water that kept the young woman protected. But that wouldn't work. Instead, Vera would decide to use another approach, an entirely different tactic.
"I want to thank you for telling me about the ones you care for. One individual came to mind...What was his name again? Asta, was it?" Vera uttered. "I think I'll use what he has."
"What?!"
To the shock of Noelle, Vera's claws would suddenly emanate a familiar magic that Noelle has seen before many times. Or rather...Anti-Magic . Just like the Anti-Magic Sword of Asta . Was it the fact that the power of that boy, of her friend was being utilized in front of her. Even the way the magic was shaped resembled that of Asta's. "That's..."
"Yes, it's just like that." The smile on her features would grow, and the Anti-Magic infused claws would rip the shield of water open. Causing her to fall to the floor, and expose herself to a potential hit, which came from a slash of Vera's claws.
"Ah-!!" Noelle cried out, tumbling on the ground.
"I am capable of looking into your mind...knowing about those who you care for ? Knowing about the things you enjoy. It is an advantage. " She said, looking down at the fallen girl. "I can mimic them. Their abilities, their skills, their strengths. Blissful." She then lunged into the air, going for another slash once more.
"Ngh!" Quickly, Noelle raised her wand, firing a Water Bullet of great size, the projectile hitting Vera and sending her back.
The blast of water that would hit her would send her stumbling. But her focus wouldn't be deterred. The water would simply vanish from the body. Yet that would be the perfect opportunity for Noelle to unleash another attack. "Sea Dragon's Waterball!"
Her magic was at the ready. The attack, in the form of a sphere made of pure water, would hurtle towards Vera. At the same time, Noelle would rush forward. "Now's the chance!"
But that would prove to not work. Because, Vera, after taking the hit from the Water Ball, would counter with the power of Anti-Magic. Surrounding her claws with it once more, this would stop the water in its tracks, and would knock Noelle back in the process. "Ugh!"
"Is that all?" Vera cackled, running at her once more. "At this rate, you'll become a perfect plaything in no time!"
"Kh!" Noelle snarled at her before unleashing yet another Sea Dragon's Roar. This one came right from the nearby lake, charging forward at great speeds , aiming to slam and to harm Vera, the attack coming at the entity. " Water Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar !" She commanded, the waters rushing to strike.
"!" Even Vera had to defend against this. She did it before so she would do it again. But this time, with Anti-Magic . Her claw s would glow as she brought them down, clashing with the Sea Dragon's Ro ar, a struggle happening between the two powers, the sea serpent and the demonic claws.
And from that, the blast of water would explode. Sending both Noelle and Vera backwards from the explosion. Both of the females would crash and tumble, landing on the wooden planks, dazed. The battle wasn't going to end easily. The tide could sway either way, and would determine the winner in the process.
Getting up, the duo of women would glare at each other, knowing full well the situation was dire. On both ends. Noelle could tell that she had to give her all in the fight. Otherwise, it wouldn't go well for her, and she could end up becoming a prisoner of sorts to the creature. A plaything of the monster that was fighting her. She didn't know the details of the fate that could occur, but knew that if she lost, she would be done for.
"Come now, Noelle. Don't look so angry." Vera said, chuckling as the blackened plates on her body glimmered. "Lustful Magic: Whisper Warp." Suddenly, Vera vanished in a ripple of air, surprising No elle. The Mage looked around, wondering where the enemy had disappeared to. Then, in a blink, Vera reappeared behind Noelle. In an instant, she slammed the girl in the back of the neck. This knocked the mage to her knees, stunned from the impact. "How does that feel?"
Noelle, despite being in pain, retaliated. With her own power, Noelle used her water to launch a wave of liquid, a torrent of the stuff that would lash at the enemy. The force was enough to knock Vera aside and make her lose her footing. "Tsk!" The entity grumbled, annoyed.
'I've never fought Asta before...So how am I supposed to get around Anti-Magic?" Noelle groaned while getting back up. But she could still fight. And there was a plan. The best thing she could do was try and outpace Vera, ensuring her Anti-Magic doesn't land. But that would be rough considering how fast Vera was. Noelle was only hoping that Lucy and Raven could come here and help out soon.
But right now, Lucy was taking Raven somewhere safe to deal with the aph rodisiacs in the Demon Girl's system. The Celestial Spirit User was carrying Raven, holding her close as to keep her safe. Running through the streets, Lucy found an empty house that was devoid of any others. It would have to suffice. Getting the girl inside, she laid Raven down on a sofa and took a breather. "Phew! Safe...For the most part."
"Ahh...Ngh..." Raven moaned in bliss. She was sweating profusely and was starting to strip off her clothing. She was feeling extremely horny, the aphrodisiac was really affecting her, making her feel incredibly aroused, and the sight of the half naked woman would cause Lucy to blush a bright red.
"O-Okay! We'll need to get that stuff out of you. Hold on, I'll help!" Lucy assured her . She dug into her bag, looking for something. Thankfully, on this island, the likes of Velma and Bulma came together to make various things to mitigate sexual pleasures. As a member of the Shining Valkyries, it was only natural that Lucy came with failsafe items that could counter these kinds of effect s. "Okay...One of these should do the trick."
But as Lucy was searching for the right item, the sexual energy in her was growing rapidly before reaching a certain point. She then looked at Lucy while she was searching for the item, and pounced.
"Agh!" Lucy cried out as she was suddenly pushed against the walls of one of the buildings. Soon, she was pinned against it by Raven who was unable to hold back these urges. "R-Raven !" The blonde was in trouble. She was in the clutches of her friend. Who had her hands pressed to her wrists. There wasn't much she could do. If Raven were to try and fuck her, then she wouldn't be able to escape.
"Nngghhh~! Lucy...I'm sorry but...I want you ~. " The aphrodisiac was already winning over, forcing Raven to do such a thing as she breathed heavily . Her breath was heavy, and the arousal was evident. The heat that was being generated was also very strong, and it would be enough to drive anyone crazy. Even a normal person would have trouble resisting the temptation of succumbing to lust under its influence.
"R-Raven...You need to resist it!" Lucy pleaded, trying to break free of the grip. She tried her best to fight it off, but her attempts were in vain, as the aphrodisiac was too powerful to resist.
"I can't...I don't want to..." Raven said as she got closer to Lucy's face. And then, unable to resist, she would bite onto Lucy's neck, nibbling at the flesh. Making the Blonde moan out. "Ngggnnhhhh~!"
"RAVEN! You need to-ahhn-resist-oh-iiiiiit~!"
The Demon Girl didn't seem to care as her teeth would continue to gnaw at her flesh. All while the pleasure would build in her body. While she continued to bite and chew, her pussy would drip wet, the fluids staining the bottom of her leotard . Soon, more juices were flowing from her. This was a sign of just how potent the aphrodisiac was and how fast it took over.
"L-Lucyyyyyyy~~" She said while groping her. Raven's hands would grasp Lucy's large breasts right away as she continued to taste her neck. Squeezing the massive orbs, and massaging her chest. Lucy's boobs would jiggle in her hands, showing off their softness and suppleness. The feeling of her mounds in her palms would arouse Raven further. The pleasure was immense and overwhelming, to say the least. Lucy couldn't believe how sensitive she was right now, and even more than usual.
Her tits were so tender that every single movement of her hand on them would cause a jolt of ecstasy to run throughout her body. It felt amazing. Too amazing to describe. Every squeeze and touch would cause waves upon waves of intense bliss. The pleasure was unbearable. The sensation of Raven's hand fondling and rubbing her bust would make her whimper in pleasure. But the sensations of her biting and chewing at her neck would only double the feelings. It was like a whole new level of stimulation. A level that Lucy had never experienced before.
"Ah...Ohhh..." She whined, unable to contain her emotions. It was too much, the stimulation and pleasure. And her cunt would dampen, soaking the fabric of her panties. It wouldn't take long for her to cum from all the attention. From the fondling, the biting, and everything in between, the blonde would find her orgasm rising. Her climax was approaching fast. It was a matter of time. And that was exactly what happened. Her nectar would soak her undies as she came, a rush of bliss washing over her, a tidal wave that consumed the girl.
"Haahh...Lucy..." Raven panted, breaking the contact. "You're so cute ..." She said. "I'm not sure I can stop myself..."
"Raven...You..." Lucy had to wonder if this was the aphrodisiac talking or if Raven truly wanted her. Not that the latter would be bad, per se. "Haaa...Just calm yourself, we can do it, but-ahn-please, control your-ohh-desires..." Lucy would request. "Please...Trust me. You can fight it."
"Mmmmh~" The grey -skinned Female was in a state of bliss, and it seemed as if her desires were overpowering her. She then got behind Lucy while continuing to suck on her neck. And while behind her, she would force open Lucy's buttoned shirt, letting her breasts pop out and hang in the open air. Allowing her to grope her bare boobs.
Lucy gasped , f eeling her breasts in her hands, and her fingers on her nipples. The sensation was electrifying and would send shivers down her spine, her cunt dripping in the process. Lucy would moan loudly as she was teased. Her pussy was on fire, the heat was unbearable. "Nnghhhh!"
Lucy then opened one eye, looking over at her bag, knowing there was still a chance to snap Raven out of it . There was the special medicine in her pack that could reverse the lustful effects of the aphrodisiac. She needed to get it, but how could she? How would she get past Raven, especially in her current state, without being fucked?
"Need to..." Lucy would just have to power through it and try to reach it . She would slowly attempt to slide out of her grip, trying to grab her bag. Until, Raven would go for the most sensitive action yet. With her hand moving down, Raven would come into contact with Lucy's flaring pussy, making her stagger and squ irm, a shock of ecstasy washing over her, a pleasurable lightning bolt. "Ooooh~ R-Raven!"
Raven would then use her magic to move aside Lucy's panties, revealing her delicious pussy out in the open and the juices that dripped out of it. Holding nothing back, Raven inserted her fingers inside of the orifice. Two of them, in fact. Which made Lucy wince and writhe. "Guh-oh ! Ah...Mmhh..."
She was now in a bind, and the stimulation was getting worse. Lucy had no idea how to escape. It was an impossible situation. How was she to break away from Raven in her lust-addled state? How could she do that while she fingerfucked her twat and pinched at her nipple? This was the toughest challenge the Celestial Spirit user has faced. Though at the same time, the most enjoyable.
Lucy bit her lower lip, trying to stave off her oncoming orgasm. She didn't want to cum again, and she certainly didn't want to lose to the pleasure, not yet anyway. However, the sheer amount of stimulation and the constant attention of her lover was making that a very hard goal to accomplish. It was hard to keep from reaching that moment of pure euphoria.
'This feeling...I don't want to do this to Lucy...But I can't stop myself' Raven was in turmoil. A part of her was enjoying this. Enjoying the sex. The fingering. The grinding of her crotch on Lucy's plump ass. She couldn't deny her body's needs. The aphrodisiac in her had won. ' I need to try something to hold myself back.'
Even then, Raven wanted to resist this, trying to hold herself back. After all, she knew better not to let her emotions fully take over. Hearing Lucy's moans, Raven closed her eyes, digging deep within. She could already feel the Lust Connection starting to show due to this action, threatening to activate around them both. Raven's magic from within was starting to manifest, and would soon turn against Lucy. To become a threat. So the woman did the best she could. Using her other arm to cover the mouth of her partner to silence her, the magic was kept in check, and the sounds would be silenced to ensure no others could hear, or the magic could manifest itself.
"Gnnhhmm~" Lucy whimpered as her lips were sealed shut, muffling her voice. The only thing she could hear was her muffled cries. But, out of sheer will, Lucy would power through it once more, going straight for her bag yet again. This time, she was able to enter its opening and grab at the object in question. A small bottle filled with liquid. Just what was needed to nullify the aphrodisiac in the Grey-Skinned Girl's body. Now the question was, could she pull this off?
Lucy was able to uncork the vial. And after that, her main concern would be feeding it to Raven. As the raven-haired girl's mouth was busy sucking on her neck. "S-Sorry about this, Raven!" She apologized to Raven for what she was about to do. She didn't want to hurt Raven, but she had no choice. The Fairy Tail Wizard would bash her head against Raven's , stunning her and releasing her from her grip, giving her a second of freedom to act.
In that short window of time, Lucy would bring the contents of the vial to her lips. Feeding the substance to the Demon Woman. Ensuring the cure was ingested, the potion's work could finally begin, the antidote beginning to neutralize the aphrodisiac in Raven's body, making the lust start to subside.
It was working. Raven was coming to. "Ugh... ." The demon woman groaned , her eyes fluttering and her vision hazy. She could hardly remember anything. Everything felt foggy. But she could make out the figure of a blonde female in front of her. That was the first thing she was aware of. The next was her state of mind, the memories and events that transpired were flooding in. "...Lucy ..."
"Raven! Thank goodness!" Lucy sighed, glad that her friend had snapped out of it, though her body was still burning with desire. She had been turned on from the treatment that the demon had given her. But the two were still in danger as the Lust Mermaids were closing in.
"I didn't..." Raven looked down, realizing what she had done , her cheeks flushed in shame. "L-Lucy I'm so-"
"It's not your fault. What's important is we get out of here and find Noelle , right? No need to apologize." The Blonde smiled. Helping her up and carrying her, the Lust Mermaids would arrive, moving through the water to travel quickly to where the girls were, appearing from the nearby pools. Their bodies shimmering with sexual allure. Their gazes fixed on the duo, hungry and desiring, ready to claim the pair. They would emerge, crawling from the waters to approach them, and attack.
"Let's get rid of them before they do something else." Lucy said, holding out one of her keys.
"Yeah..." Raven said, closing her eyes before opening them, becoming incredibly serious. "Your mermaids are going to pay for making me do that to Lucy ." She said. Angry at these creatures, wanting to destroy these enemies.
"Open: Gate of the Ram! Aries" Lucy raised her key high, bringing forth another one of her Female Celestial Spirits. In this case, it was the pink-haired and timid Aries .
"Oh? I'm back out here?" Aries blinked. "Oh, we're still on this island..."
"Alright, Aries! You've always been the perfect counter to the lust on this island. Restrain them!"
"Wool...Shot!" Aries, despite being timid, was not afraid to take action. Aries blasted little bursts of pink wool at her foes which attach to some of the mermaids right away. And once attached, just as Lucy said, Aries was a perfect counter. The mermaids cried out as they felt the effects of the wool, getting a taste of their own medicine in a way after what they did to Raven.
The wool was comforting, incredibly soothing and as such, the opposite to the lust. The mermaids could feel their intense sexual desires starting to fade away. Some of them were even feeling sleepy and relaxed. They weren't in the mood for battle anymore, and that was a huge advantage that the heroes could utilize, and would allow them to win the battle.
And more importantly, it allowed Raven to attack freely. An angered Raven ascended, her magic pulsating aggressively. But not too much to let her emotions get the best of her. She then fired twin beams of magical energy at the rest of the creatures, knocking the rest of the group off of their feet, sending a majority of the creatures into a pile, a heap of defeated mermaids.
Though there were a few that weren't in the blast radius of the attack, they would not have enough time to retaliate or flee. Because at that point, Raven would manipulate the water herself. She sent her magic into the water, infecting its source, turning it black, causing a large portion of the room to darken and glow a bright purple and blue. This would affect the remaining mermaids, shocking and harming them. Eventually ending them, or at least knocking the remaining ones out.
One of the mermaids screamed, as her skin darkened. She was no match for the rage that emanated from Raven, a victim to her wrath. It wouldn't take long before the entire horde was finished and defeated, laying on the ground in a massive heap. With them done, they could advance to try and find Noelle before it was too late .
And as for Noelle, her plan to try and outpace the Anti-Magic was about to be in affect. What she needed to do was be faster than Vera and there was only one way she could guarantee that. Magic started enveloping parts of her body, covering her in a certain armor.
"Water Creation Magic: Valkyrie Dress!" Noelle yelled as she donned her Valkyrie Dress. Her main combat outfit and the perfect form to help her. And very much agile.
"What good will that do you if you cannot hope to bypass Anti-Magic?" Vera cack led, her hands glowing green. "You won't ever be fast or strong enough!"
"Maybe not. Maybe so." Noelle replied, the armor of her outfit reflecting in the light. "We're not in the same boat. We're not in the same field. Because even with that power...I am still above you."
"So you say...Prove it then!" Vera smirked. She would summon a bunch of slithering and slippery tentacles. The slimy appendages were eager and willing to please her. She then launched the tentacles at Noelle, intending to strike her down . However, with there being water in this coastal town, it was to Noelle's advantage, especially in this dress.
She would instantly fly to the side, being faster than before thanks to the agility her dress granted, dodging the attack, flying around the creature to try and land a slash with her Water Lance . However, Vera's reflexes were quick and sharp. She blocked the attack, her strength and defense enhanced by the Anti-Magic .
Noelle would not give in. She moved back and immediately started using the water to her advantage. She raised it, causing it to flow her way as she spoke these words. "Mana Zone : Sea Dragon's Cradle" Noelle called. A sea of bubbles surrounded the girl. Floating around her and the battlefield. Her magic was spread all over the place and would grant her an incredible boon. The bubbles that were surrounding her would suddenly expand, forming a gigantic bubble. The bubble was big enough to engulf the entirety of the arena, a huge dome that could house a giant whale. All the water in the vicinity was gathered into a single location, creating a barrier between her and the monster.
"You think a measly wall will stop me? !" Vera would just use her Anti-Magic to disrupt the barrier, but Noelle used this. As Vera broke the dome apart, Noelle brought some of the water towards her, using it to travel. She entered the water stream and began her assault, the bubbles were just a distraction. Using the speed of her water to go from place to place. While her attacks would not harm her directly, it was enough to disorient and annoy the Demoness, not letting her properly fight.
"Kh! Speedy little...!" Not even the Anti-Magic could help her here, because Noelle was too quick, her magic in full control and in the palm of her hand. Making her nearly invisible to Vera. She was able to evade and move in any direction, striking the monster whenever and wherever she desired.
Noelle fired Water Spheres each time she travelled around the area, constantly forcing Vera to block or deflect her attacks. "Just give in." She said. Even without the offensive capabilities, the silver haired royal was an expert in controlling the tide of battles, a master manipulator of her own abilities.
"Give in to that? Never!" Vera shot her tendrils forward to grab and restrain her. However, Noelle was able to easily avoid that as well, the water being the perfect tool for evasion. "I can't keep up!"
"I only brought up my friends! I didn't bring up myself, so you don't have a clue what to do here! Your Anti-Magic won't matter that much if you can't get close to me or keep up!" No elle taunted, and to that, Vera could only snarl in anger.
"Silence!" Vera roared, unleashing a blast of Lust Energy from her body, intending to wipe the young mage off the map, but instead, it caused Noelle to expertly dodge it, moving the Water Stream upwards . Moving her from the blast. "Damn you!"
Vera had enough of this keepaway game. She tried getting up close and personal, ready to slash at her once more. "Caress of the Veinblade!" She yelled as her claws, laced with Anti-Magic , were poised to end Noelle, but the Silver-haired girl was able to evade the swipe.
And after evading it, she found her moment to land a heavy strike. "Don't you dare use the magic of that idiot ever!" Noelle yelled as she would thrust her lance at Vera at full force, yelling. "Haaaaaaaaaaah!"
"AAAGH!" Vera was struck right in her stomach and was lifted into the air from the force of the impact. She felt like she had been punched in the gut by a giant hammer, and her vision blurred and darkened. Her legs gave way beneath her and her arms dangled limp. It was an amazing blow, a direct hit to the abdomen. But Noelle didn't stop. Once Vera landed on the ground, Noelle would follow her down to the earth, a massive splash occurring. And to finish the Lust Entity , she would yell the spell's name.
"Sea Dragon's Roar!" She shouted, a giant surge of water rising up behind her and slamming into her opponent, drowning and crushing the demon.
And with that, Vera had been defeated, falling on her back as a large crater had formed . The woman's clothes were tattered and torn, and her hair was wet. She had lost a significant amount of energy and stamina. And while her face was covered in the damage inflicted to her, the most noticeable feature on her was her expression. A look of complete exhaustion. Her lips were slightly open, showing a hint of a tongue that was not quite fully inside the mouth. Her eyes were half closed, her eyebrows furrowed in concentration, trying to regain her composure. Finally, her breathing was shallow, and she looked completely spent, drained and tired.
A final breath would escape her. "... Curse...you ..." She said as her body would disperse with Lust Energy , confirming her defeat. Noelle said, leaving her Valkyrie Dress. "Good Riddance."
"Noelle!" And as she had been defeated, Lucy and Raven had finally shown up to help. But they were a bit too late as Noelle had already claimed victory. "We...Oh?" Lucy looked around, seeing the aftermath of the battle. "I guess you're already done."
"She is. I'm not sensing that threat anymore." Raven confirmed. Noelle dealt with it herself. "Funny. It felt like a massive problem from what I could tell."
"Hmph. Well, as a Royal, massive problems aren't a match for me. So, that's not a surprise that I won . " The silver haired mage replied, looking at her friends while flipping her hair.
"Well, we pulled off each off our victories." Lucy smiled . " And I'd say we got some info on this town, haven't we? It just up and summoned these Lust Creatures. And they looked to be mermaids, which makes sense given where we are."
"Mine wasn't a mermaid at all." No elle replied. "She was a walking and talkin g woman. A Lust Entity that took human form and posed like one."
"Eh?! Seriously?!" That came as a shock to Lucy and Raven.
"The Lust Entities...they're developing. The one I fought said that some of her kin have been staying inactive, observing us visitors and gaining sentience just like us ." Noelle revealed . "So they're learning and growing. Becoming their own beings and becoming intelligent. Which means things will become more difficult in the long run. Especially since this one copied one of my friends's magic. Or I guess, Anti-Magic."
"So they've already started evolving in such a way..." said Raven. "Well, at least we can head back and report this. This town should be clear of any Lust Creatures now so we could use it later."
Now, it was time for them to return to base and report this to others . This was far too important to pass off. But as they left the Coastal Town, A tiny piece of what was left of Vera would start twitching slowly, gently slithering away.
Once back, Lucy, Raven and Noelle spouted what they discovered in that newly formed Coastal Town, reporting it to Erza and Art oria. The trio were in their meeting room, sitting in front of the table, and telling their story to their faction's leader. They told the two about the new type of entity and the strange happenings in that town.
"I see..." Er za had heard enough, a serious tone to her voice. She was concerned and had her worries. Of course, hearing of the Sentient ones was a major issue that the group should keep in mind, not to mention how they could potentially copy another's ability. In Noelle's case, Asta's Anti-Magic and Asta wasn't even on the island . "This is worrying news, girls."
"It is indeed. The fact that the enemy can replicate our abilities is troubling." Artoria said, looking at Erza. "How many have been observing us exactly?"
"Either way, we'll look into this. I'll report over to Bulma and the others so they can classify these new Lust Entities . For the time being, rest up and heal, ladies. You've earned it. There's plenty of rooms in this building." The Scarlet Haired woman had instructed. After that, the three had their leave.
"Phew, glad that's over. I'm gonna head back and sleep. Maybe eat first." Lucy stated . The three of them have had a tough day, fighting the horde of creatures and the mysterious sentient one, so the blonde would be understandably hungry.
"I need to clear my mind." Raven would float her mind, trying to get the thoughts of what she did to Lucy out of her. Noelle would just go off and do her own thing.
As nightfall hit, Lucy was walking down the halls of the base, heading for her room which wasn't too far from here. She had a good meal and was ready to call it a night. But as she walked, down the hall, she spotted Raven up ahead , standing next to the window and looking out at the moonlit sky, staring up at the starry expanse.
"Raven?" Lucy spoke, a little surprised to see the Azarian girl at a time like this. The pale skinned girl was looking outside at the sky, seemingly deep in thought. "Are you okay?" Raven turned to the blond and nodded her head, her face stoic. But that wasn't going to convince her.
"If that were the case, then why are you staring out at the sky?" The celestial wizard questioned, approaching the shorter female.
"...What happened today." She began. " Even if that wasn't me in my right mind...sorry about that. It's pretty hard to get it out of my head." She referred to how she forced herself on Lucy under the effects of the aphrodisiac.
"Well, you know it's not your fault. I'm never gonna fault that on you, Raven." Lucy smiled while Raven looked away, blushing a bit. "You still tried your best in fighting it off. That counts." The busty blond reassured, her soft hands resting on Raven's shoulders.
"Yeah, but...it was still me doing that." Raven's guilt was still there, her eyes looking downcast. She couldn't bear the idea of having hurt her friend like that. Even though the two were on decent terms, the violet-eyed girl had no idea that Lucy would accept that act, no matter the circumstance. "And I've got no idea when that kind of situation may show up again. A part of me even felt like I actually wanted to do it."
"Raven..."
"Not like I...well..." Raven wasn't sure what to say next.
"That's why we're all here to help each other out." Lucy giggled. "If the Lust Entities are going to grow and improve, then so do we. We're on a team for a reason, so let's work together to improve ourselves. Okay?"
"Lucy ..." The Superhero had heard similar words before from Starfire. And now from her friend in front of her. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty. But also rather happy. It did feel like one of her friends was still here. And just then, she went to hug, Lucy, grateful to have her. "You're so positive it almost hurts...But thanks, Lucy ." Lucy returned the gesture, hugging her back.
"No problem. Now, how about we work on resistances right now? " The celestial mage grinned, her brown eyes bright and hopeful. She had her faith in Raven. And Raven had hers in her. After their hug, the duo entered Raven's room, ready to try and improve their resistances so that something like that doesn't happen again.
"Right. Let's get to it." Raven nodded, and the two of them got to their training session, working on resisting the sexual impulses that would often plague them. During this, Raven was trying to think of a method that could assist them, a way to not succumb to their lusts and urges. Then an idea struck her. "I've got it. Since the aphrodisiac was a liquid, what if we tried consuming an edible food or beverage that could make us aroused and try to hold back from acting on it. That should at least give us a chance."
"Ooh, smart! Alright, that seems to be the perfect plan." Lucy smiled. Her friend had come up with an excellent suggestion. If they could find a consumable that would give them a boost in their arousal, then that would help. It would be a rather long night for the two, but they felt it would be worth it.
