A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 73: Yurei

The silhouette was getting closer and Lily's figure was clearly visible. Looking at Rion's rather 'sad' condition he took a breath before smiling, a good plan swirled in his head.

"May I help you?"

Without knowing any other intent from Lily, Rion nodded her head. "Do what you want."

Lily nodded lightly, satisfied with which Rion replied. Placing his hand on the Phantom Wolf's forehead, he could feel a new awareness beginning to grow within the monster. Looking up at Rion, he said, "Rion you come down."

Waiting for quite a while but not getting Rion's answer, it might be worried that this Phantom Wolf will soon come off after he goes down. Lily gave a brief explanation. "This is for what I want to take."

"What's that?" Rion's suspicions began to grow.

"Look at it, but .. You have to obey the orders I give you later huh?"

"Yes, yeah. As long as it doesn't harm me."

Lily smiled slightly, a light clap she made on to the Phantom Wolf. The Phantom Wolf's eyes began to open, probably awakened by it but the monster did not act immediately.

Lily's eyes showed the shine. In the golden red tinge that was beginning to appear, his eyes and the eyes of the Phantom Wolf met.

In silence, any kind of 'work' Lily has done. All of that went on for a moment, without producing any change, only he knew what had happened.

Exhaling a long breath, Lily turned her gaze to Rion, extending her hand at the novice.

"What?" said stupid Rion.

Lily's expression turned slightly pouted. "Hand, give me your hand!"

Rion had not yet reached out her hand, her right hand had first been pulled.

The Phantom Wolf's front legs were raised, as if following what Lily wanted.

"Pease your mind, accept what you'll feel. Don't fight it, okay?"

Rion involuntarily nodded, feeling that Lily's words carried a must.

Lily took a deep breath then exhaled it long. He closed his eyes, both of his hands clasped tightly onto the fused hands of the two of them, he started chanting strange incantations slurriedly.

Rion watched Lily, and she could see for real that the mana around her had been sucked towards the hand they were put together. Like a black hole that will not be satisfied with anything, where around them continues to be drained into their fist.

Golden red light began to envelop them, everywhere around as if forcing mana out and where else into him. Unknowingly Rion wanted to fight back but recalling Lily's previous words, she gradually calmed down and accepted it.

Lily opened her eyes, a slight tinge of golden color could be seen at the corner of her eyes. Sensing that Rion was following his wish, he smiled silently.

Lily looked at the Phantom Wolf, then followed by a small nod of the monster as if to answer him. Thus, he closed his eyes again.

Rion felt a hint of heat on his palm, as if something had happened. The heat he felt was burning but soon dissipated, replaced by a sharp sting with a bone-piercing chill.

The Phantom Wolf's body began to be covered in a pale blackish-blue mist. The size of the Phantom Wolf began to shrink, becoming even smaller and smaller than its initial size. The size of the Phantom Wolf's body was getting smaller so that his front legs now had to be raised high enough to be able to stay in his current position.

As the fog disappeared, the Phantom Wolf's front leg now became the shape of a normal humanoid hand with five tiny fingers. Its hind legs became normal humanoid feet, leaving no form of wolf legs.

His blackish blue fur now disappeared, replaced with flawless smooth white skin. Phantom Wolf's sinister face disappeared, replaced by a childish cute face with blue eyes and black hair. Only the ears and tail left the previous characteristics.

The figure of the mighty Phantom Wolf has now become a lo .. little boy who looks 6 years old. However, he was now naked without a single cloth.

Seeing the changes to the Phantom Wolf, Lily nodded and released her hand which clasped the hands of Rion and the Phantom Wolf.

"Lily ... What are you doing?" rion asked in a trembling tone, unable to control his shock.

"In short I made a pact between you and him."

"covenant? What do you mean by that deal?" Rion was curious, he had no idea about what Lily had done.

"The agreement is called the Covenant of the Seed, it's easy to sort of form a contract," Taking a pause, Lily continued, "Rion if you focus your attention, please, you'll be able to feel a connection has been built between you and him."

Hearing this, Rion sharpened his eyes, paying attention and feeling the flow of mana around meticulously. Immediately, a kind of thin thread line was seen, connecting between him and the humanoid Phantom Wolf's figure.

"So, what's his name?" The question that Lily suddenly threw out made Rion out of his attention.

"For me .. It's clear to him. If not for whom?" answer Lily.

"Wait, wait! Before that, what is Covenant of the Seed?"

"That's one of my abilities, making one creature bond with another, and making one of them a more powerful person. After that the person who complies will not be able to do something that harms the other party in any form, but it must also be accompanied by the agreement of both parties without coercion and the amount of which as a basic comparison."

"Is that? Is that everything, Lily?" rion asked suspiciously, he felt that there was something further that Lily was hiding.

"Yes! That's it all," Lily tepped on Rion's suspicions. In addition to concealing the 'work' he had done earlier, he was also reluctant to explain in detail the true form of this [Covenant of the Seed].

This agreement in addition to binding other beings to submit to other beings on condition of approval, also changed the lower physique following the other party's aesthetics.

Like the Phantom Wolf that became the humanoid form of its wolf form. Just leave the rest of the original form —ear and tail— which according to Rion's aesthetics does not interfere. Although this may actually have something to do with Lily, besides that Phantom Wolf can also return to its original form.

On the other hand, the [Covenant of the Seed] was also binding throughout life, limiting the things done, making the party unable to expend all of its strength while fighting against the bound party. It can even take the life of one of the lower parties if the higher party wills it, and the full details of the [Covenant of the Seed] are more than that.

Putting all that aside Lily asked excitedly. "So what's his name?"

"Phantom," Rion said to Lily's question without a second thought.

Lily's face was empty. 'What a bad name, ' his mind.

"You serious? Think of a better name! She's a girl you know?! Girls!" lily shouted at the arbitrary naming of Rion.

"Hmm ... Then, Yurei."

"I think it's better than ever."

"A-anu ..," Phantom Wolf, no, Yurei spoke up in a slightly bewildered tone, making Lily and Rion look at him attentively.

However, the thing that came out of his mouth made them shaken. "Papa? Mama?"

Lily and Rion looked at each other, closing in on Lily, Rion whispered, "How could she be like this?"

After thinking for a moment Lily sighed, it seemed like she had forgotten some things. After becoming a Demon Beast, the monster would obtain a sense, which was equivalent to a birth form on an intelligent being. So it is quite natural that a newly formed Demon Beast will be confused.

However, in Yurei's case, Lily had done a huge 'work' on Yurei. Making Yurei not only undergo changes to the Demon Beast but also completely make him a new individual.

In other words, it was only natural that Yurei considered the new one in her meeting as her parents ....

'But how does he know that vocabulary?'

Lily looked at Rion with an awkward smile. "It looks like we're going to have to disguise ourselves as a family from now on, but this is temporary, temporary."

Rion looked at Lily with a gaze that seemed to say, 'What do you mean?'

"You know, it's only temporary, temporary" Lily said once again. However, his manner betrayed his remark as he turned his gaze away from Rion.

'Then why do you have to repeat that word twice?'

Rion shook his head for a moment before pointing at Yurei still completely naked. "That's it, but first we have to find clothes for her, right?"

"For that I will take care of immediately."

"Other than that, Lily. Did you see the spear I used to hold him?"

They both looked around. With their eyesight it should not be difficult to find the spear, but after searching for a long check they did not find it at all.

"Maybe lately you've been really fucking Rion," With a look of pity, Lily said this.

Sighing, Rion pointed at Yurei. "We're leaving again, and Lily you're gonna carry her, right?"

However, Lily nodded in agreement at this arrangement. "Alright, but before that wait for me to put her on clothes!"

Rion turned his gaze away from the 'procession' Lily was doing.
