Miriam moaned as Klaus released loads into her for the fifth time. They had been at it for a few hours since Klaus returned from his mission with the twins. He had already told Miriam the real reason he was going.
She had even protested, saying she wanted to go with him, but Klaus had already made up his mind by the time she asked. He wasn't about to send his woman on a mission he could handle with ease.
A few minutes later, they seemed to have somehow recovered from the pleasure and exhaustion.
"That was awesome," Miriam said, lying on Klaus's chest.
"I know," Klaus grinned. Since Anna and Lily still weren't ready, Ohema hadn't finished cultivating the technique, and Lucy was away at the academy, Klaus was left with Miriam every night whenever he was around.
Miriam had been the only one pleasuring him for the past few months. Their bond had also grown stronger during this time.
"I will miss you when you go to the academy," Miriam said with a defeated expression.
"All the more reason to enjoy now," Klaus teased, making her smile slightly.
"I guess I can't be selfish. Sister Lucy is waiting for you there, along with Sister Nia and Asha," Miriam said with a small smile.
"Hey, when did you start using 'Sister'? For a moment, I thought someone as old as the universe wouldn't bother with such a title," Klaus teased her again. "And why would Nia and Asha be waiting for me? Who said I'm in love with them?" he continued teasing.
"You..." Miriam pinched him.
"In case you're not aware, we've all agreed. Whether you like it or not, Sister Nia and Asha have already been added to the harem. Even Sister Nadia has been included, so you better man up and do what's required of you," Miriam said, hiding her face.
"Hehe, what a bunch of weirdos," Klaus chuckled. However, deep down, he loved the idea.
"That being said, are you ready to receive your techniques now?" Klaus asked.
"I am, but wouldn't the cultivation technique destroy my foundation?" Miriam asked, concerned.
"Maybe a lesser technique than the one you're using would destroy your foundation, but the one I am about to give you is hundreds of times better in every aspect. Instead of destroying your foundation, it will rebuild it into something much more powerful."
"Wait, you're not going to ask where I got the techniques from?" Klaus asked, puzzled. He had expected Ohema to ask as well, but she never did. Seeing Miriam's reaction, he could tell she also had no intention of asking.
"I love you, Klaus. We all do. So no matter what crazy idea or gift you bring, we won't question you. If and when you want to share any of your secrets, we will happily listen," Miriam replied with a smile.
"Thank you," Klaus said sincerely.
The senior had told him that, for now, he shouldn't disclose his past to anyone, not even to him. Hearing that he wouldn't have to lie to his lovers because they don't want to pry for his secrets made him genuinely happy.
"I will be giving you three techniques. One is a cultivation technique, and the other two are martial techniques. I have reviewed your status page, so these techniques are better suited for you," Klaus said, pressing his finger against her forehead and transferring the three techniques to her.
"The cultivation technique is called [Immortal Sword Body]. It will help refine your body, making it sharp and refined, similar to a sword. Since your class is Light Sword Dancer, this will be perfect for you.
The first martial technique is called [Divine Light Sword Ascendance Art]. As the name suggests, it harnesses your talent with the Light element and complements your swordsmanship class. With your sword intent, this technique will enhance your combat prowess many times over."
"How much are we talking?" Miriam's warrior side emerged.
"For now, since I haven't witnessed your full strength, let's estimate it between 700% to 1000%," Klaus replied.
"Wow, by that much?" Miriam was taken aback.
[Stop underestimating her, brat. With the technique you've given her, even just the first form is enough to increase her current combat prowess by 2000%.]
'What?' Now it was Klaus's turn to be shocked.
[You underestimate someone with sword intent. Although she has just awakened it, if you were to face her in a true sword battle, you wouldn't last even ten minutes,] the senior used the moment to lecture.
'Thanks for correcting me, senior,' Klaus said sincerely.
[It's not your fault for getting it wrong. The techniques you are providing your friends are so powerful that even I can't clearly gauge their value. Whoever created them must have been a true genius.]
Klaus smiled at that. He was the creator of these techniques—well, his past self was—but it still counted as his achievement, so all the praise went to him, the one currently living.
He refocused on Miriam. "I might have downplayed my initial estimation. The [Divine Light Sword Ascendance Art] has seven forms, and just the first form alone could currently increase your fighting strength by as much as 2000%."
"What..." Miriam's eyes widened. "I know I said we wouldn't ask, but where the hell did you get such a monstrous technique? You know what, don't tell me," she said, deciding to give up and simply accept what was and what would be.
Klaus laughed and continued "The second technique is called [Sword Dance]. It also resonates with your class, but it's more of a movement technique. Mastering it will elevate your movement on the battlefield to the next level."
"Thank you, Klaus," Miriam said with a cheerful smile.
She had just received universe-altering techniques; if that wasn't enough to make her happy, nothing else could. Of course, she had no idea of the true value of what she had just gained.
Klaus smiled back. It was no big deal for him. With the knowledge he now possessed, he could fight without holding back.
"With this cultivation technique, I can reach the Transcendent stage much faster than I anticipated. However, I'll hold off on that and train the martial techniques to at least two levels before advancing in my cultivation," Miriam decided, and Klaus nodded.
Since her upcoming tribulation would be much stronger, it was wise for her to first focus on the sword techniques to bolster her combat power.
"Are you also going to give these techniques to Sister Anna and the others?" Miriam asked.
"Of course, but before we head out, why don't we have another round to celebrate you receiving three heaven-shattering techniques?" Klaus said with a grin.
"Tsk..." Miriam chuckled but didn't object. With that, Klaus's sword entered her body for another round, continuing for an hour before they stopped. They dressed and went out to meet the others.
A few minutes later, everyone was seated except for Ohema, who was in seclusion, cultivating her Virgin Poison Body so she could finally be with Klaus.
"I've reviewed your status pages and chosen the best cultivation and martial techniques that will turn you all into monsters..." Klaus said with a smile, watching the eager expressions on his friends' faces.
