I was surprised by the change in Natasha's appearance, but it wasn't the first time I've seen such drastic changes, Lilith also owes big changes in the past.
"Come with me, mistress." (Margareth)
"Clothes are useless, they hinder my movements, I haven't even tried this one yet..." (Natasha)
"I don't care, going around naked is not a decent thing to do." (Margareth)
"As carefree as ever." (Yara)
Margareth simply grabbed her arm dragging Natasha to another room for a few minutes, my sister who didn't seem to care about her lack of clothes didn't even try to resist, which made me think about the kind of relationship that this master and servant have.
After a few minutes, the two came back, Natasha was wearing long black pants, a white blouse, and a black leather jacket, her clothes were very basic, and they also seemed to be a little baggy in her body.
"Not very comfortable." (Natasha)
"There is a magnificent seamstress here, we will go there after you talk to your brother, master." (Margareth)
"Yes I have to talk to him, would you?" (Natasha)
"I already expected something like that, please wait 1 second without destroying anything." (Margareth)
"< Fool's Door >" (Margareth)
Suddenly Margareth and Natasha started talking in a way that I didn't understand, Natasha looked anxious as she looked at me with bright eyes, but it looked like she was waiting for Margareth to do something.
Soon Margareth pulls a rectangular metal door full of drawings of magic circles that glow before opening a passage to a forest, I didn't understand what was happening until Natasha disappeared.
"Let's talk." (Natasha)
Not understanding what was happening I got punched in the stomach, then got a kick that threw me through the door before hitting some trees.
"What the fuck is going on..." (I)
"Let's see what you can do little brother." (Natasha)
Soon Natasha goes through the magic door too and runs towards me at high speed with a smile on her face, different from before where I was with my guard down not expecting an attack, this time I was pretending to be affected by the previous attack.
So as she approached me trying to punch me, my tail tying her legs making her lose her balance, I tried to take the opportunity to punch my jaw, but instead of dodging or defending she bit my fist.
I use my elbow to slash her away, but she comes back to me so fast, I don't have time to use any magic or Spirit Rune.
I also didn't want to use my skills as I noticed that she hadn't done so until now, plus I was weakened since I used half of my power during her Awakening Ceremony, not to mention the mental and physical burden that those Awakening Ceremonies say I endure in the end.
"Hahahahaha...." (Natasha)
She was giving me attacks that seemed random coming from every direction, there didn't seem to be an identifiable pattern, if it wasn't for my own Martial Art being unpredictable, I might not be able to defend myself.
Actually, I didn't defend completely, I noticed that during the blows she wasn't aiming at my body but at my hands, she was hitting my fingers breaking one at a time.
When I realized this I tried to give her a site, when she grabbed my leg a wound opens when a blood tentacle comes out opening a wound to grab her neck, but she didn't even bother when I destroyed the blood tentacle with a punch.
"Looks like we have an evil mind here…" (Natasha)
She jokes in the middle of combat, but that was just an attempt to distract me that didn't work, she gives me a spinning kick, but I spread my wings defending this attack while hiding behind my wings, during this time I try to drink a bottle of blood, but the spinning kick was never meant to strike me, she locks her foot on a joint of one of my wings before flinging me in one direction, thereby missing a chance to drink my bottle of blood as she leaps into view on my right landing a punch on my head from the side, I was thrown back to the ground.
"< Poison Breath >" (I)
I had already confirmed that I was still inside the Dungeon and on the same floor as the city, but I was in one of the many forests on that floor of the Dungeon, I also confirmed that there was no one around.
The poison cloud spreads when I aim for the ground, I have no doubt this poison won't work on her, I used this skill more as a smokescreen to hide myself while hiding my Aura.
"Nice trick, but it doesn't work on me." (Natasha)
Even within the poisonous smoke, she appeared underneath me head to spleen delivering an upward kick that was supposed to hit my jaw if she hadn't defended with her arms.
For the next two hours, let's say fighting hand-to-hand, I couldn't use any magic and was avoiding wasting energy on skills when I already had half of my energy reserves.
Natasha didn't leave my side for a second, she didn't stop to rest, eat or drink anything during that time, not to mention that she wouldn't get used to her body so quickly.
The few chances to land a hit on her at first became increasingly slim as she seemed to be adjusting her strikes to adapt to her current body.
After hours of me being badly beaten, she stops and stretches with a satisfied smile on her face, then she looks over at me throwing a towel to dry my sweat.
"That was fun, really nice meeting you little brother." (Natasha)
"But what's going on...here?" (I)
Soon Margareth, who was sitting on a nearby tree, appears.
"My master believes that the best way to get to know someone is through combat alone, she always does that kind of thing when she wants to get to know someone better." (Margareth)
"How can she learn anything from me...through combat?" (I)
"I'll explain to you let's go into the mansion." (Natasha)
I was grabbed by the head as I was pulled by Natasha as she ran over the top of the trees heading straight towards the mansion.
