Chapter 209: Transformation and Frenzy
The cat-eared loli's body convulsed and shuddered, reaching her peak for the second time under the assault of the scorching essence.
Haruto accelerated his thrusts, and with one final, explosive release, he perfectly completed this dual cultivation.
But the rhythm of his release did not stop; little Haruto continued to twitch, the wet, squelching sounds echoing through the room.
Visibly, the little loli's belly slowly swelled, and copious amounts of milky-white essence overflowed from where they were joined.
It was clear just how much life essence Haruto had released inside Koneko this time—after holding back for so long, it was inevitable that he would lose control and release more than usual.
The cat-eared loli threw her head back, her body's climax showing no signs of stopping as wave after wave of ecstasy overwhelmed her senses.
Koneko could only stare blankly, wrapping her slender white silk-clad legs tightly around Haruto's waist to find a support point for her body.
...
The morning sunlight streamed onto the bed as Haruto slowly opened his eyes. Feeling a soft sensation against his body, he looked down to see a cute cat-eared loli lying on top of him.
At this moment, Haruto sensed something unusual - he could feel his dragon still sheathed within Koneko's tender, soft valley.
Savoring the wonderful sensation from his lower body, an expression of enjoyment unconsciously spread across Haruto's face.
A faint glow enveloped both Haruto and Koneko who lay atop him.
Since yesterday noon, the two had been at it until late at night. Asia had originally come to call Haruto for lunch, but her face flushed crimson upon hearing the sounds from within when she approached.
In the evening, Akeno came to call for them instead, but the commotion inside still hadn't ceased.
Though somewhat helpless, she ultimately didn't disturb their dual cultivation.
After all, eating was merely a habit for everyone - skipping meals wouldn't affect them at all.
Thus, Haruto and Koneko would rest for a while, engage in dual cultivation, rest again, then dual cultivate again...
Until the cat-eared loli had completely exhausted her energy and stamina, and the two fell into deep sleep while embracing each other.
Because they had dual cultivated so many times, they left behind abundant life energy. Maintaining their joined state throughout, the two had essentially been continuously training all night.
Only when Haruto gently lifted the loli girl off himself did the faint white light enveloping them slowly fade away.
Sensing the further increase in magical power within him, Haruto affectionately ruffled Koneko's silver-white hair.
After completing their first dual cultivation session yesterday, he had discovered that the white-haired loli had already reached S-class strength.
Koneko hadn't offered any explanation, and the circumstances at the time didn't allow him to question or ponder it. Only now did Haruto roughly understand.
No wonder Koneko had suddenly barged into his room during broad daylight, eagerly demanding dual cultivation.
Most likely, after breakfast and some movement, she had naturally broken through.
Then the white-haired loli, worried that she wouldn't be able to get close to Haruto after her breakthrough, had taken advantage of everyone's absence...
Especially before Rias found out, she secretly slipped back to find him and request dual cultivation.
Haruto normally wouldn't probe the girls' strength levels. If not for the feedback from dual cultivation being different from that of an A-class virgin, instead resembling his previous experience with S-class Rias, he wouldn't have known that Koneko had broken through early.
Covering the sleeping white-haired loli with a blanket, Haruto opened his personal panel. Seeing the two new talents that had appeared, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
[Nekomata Bloodline]: Greatly improves neural reaction and speed, slightly enhances strength and constitution. Can transform into nekomata form.
[Berserk (usable once every three days)]: Doubles all attributes, lasts for ten minutes.
Haruto knew Koneko was a nekomata, the strongest among cat yokai. But unlike demons, he had never been certain whether yokai bloodlines could be considered innate talents.
Everything in existence could become yokai - animals, plants, even inanimate objects and formless entities.
If all were considered one bloodline, the differences between some yokai would be greater than that between humans and cockroaches.
Now it appeared that the dual cultivation ability was quite powerful indeed, capable of subdividing bloodline talents.
I wonder if this enhancement from supernatural creature bloodlines can stack when dual cultivating with fox spirits or rabbit spirits in the future...
While the Nekomata talent was somewhat expected, the Berserk Ability truly came as a surprise.
Haruto had never seen Koneko use berserk mode before. He originally thought she possessed this talent skill unique to supernatural creatures, but it turned out she simply hadn't used it rather than not having it.
The Berserk Ability added another trump card to Haruto's arsenal.
Due to the essence-extracting nature of dual cultivation, all side effects of the Berserk Ability were eliminated, and its duration became significantly longer than that of ordinary supernatural creatures.
However, the enhancement effect remained fixed at double the original strength.
Compared to berserk modes with severe side effects, Haruto preferred his version.
No, thinking about it now, perhaps "burst" would be a more appropriate term.
Moreover, as his strength continued to grow, this talent would play an increasingly important role.
A fixed doubling of all attributes meant the higher Haruto's base attributes, the more powerful he would become after the enhancement.
Using the Berserk Ability after activating the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet's multiplication...
Just the thought made Haruto secretly marvel.
As for whether "all attributes" referred only to physical attributes or included qi, magic power, and mental energy, Haruto couldn't determine yet.
He planned to test it later anyway - there were no side effects, just a cooldown period.
Before testing the Berserk Ability, Haruto wanted to try out what the Nekomata talent meant by "transforming into a nekomata."
Although he had obtained demon and fallen angel bloodlines that allowed him to manifest those races' forms, the talent description contained no relevant annotations.
Haruto focused his breathing and slowly channeled the newly emerged invisible energy nestled between his demon and fallen angel bloodlines.
Actually, both demon and fallen angel bloodlines existed as energy forms.
A person's body couldn't contain multiple blood types - even hybrids only had one blood type, and this remained true after Evil Pieces reincarnation.
Haruto didn't fully understand the specifics, but metaphorically speaking, it was like adding certain substances to the body rather than scientifically replacing blood or genes.
Whether due to the energy's weakness or Haruto's unfamiliarity with his first attempt, the transformation failed initially.
No changes occurred to his body - no cat ears or tail appeared.
Just as Haruto grew puzzled, he suddenly felt his magic power beginning to flow in sync with the Nekomata bloodline.
A faint blue light enveloped him. Several seconds later, both the blue light and Haruto vanished.
In his place stood a slender British Shorthair with smooth gray-blue fur.
"Meow..."
Haruto opened his mouth and let out an adorable meow.
He leaped lightly to the floor and examined the handsome cat in the mirror, finally understanding what "transformation" meant.
But was this really a nekomata?
It looked exactly like a British Shorthair.
Though he'd never kept cats, he recognized this famous breed.
Slender vertical pupils in orange-yellow, smooth gray-blue short fur...
He turned around for closer inspection. Aside from those two features, nothing else seemed to match.
His limbs and body were more slender than typical cute British Shorthairs, resembling the ominous, elusive black cats.
Well, overall it didn't look like a pet cat. If he had two tails, it could indeed be called a nekomata.
The thought had just crossed Haruto's mind when he suddenly noticed an extra tail on his reflection in the mirror.
As he took a step, two slender cat tails began swaying up and down gracefully.
"Meow~" A hint of human-like surprise appeared on his aloof feline face.
Haruto alternated between retracting and revealing his second tail, thoroughly enjoying himself.
After satisfying his curiosity, he ultimately retracted the second tail. Compared to a two-tailed monster cat, an ordinary cat form was more suitable for the human world.
Experiencing the world as a cat for the first time, Haruto found everything novel. If possible, he would have loved to maintain this form permanently.
