"Hehe... Woohoo...♡" In the inner courtyard of the church, a little distance from the building where the saintess candidates were located.
Lisbeth, leaning against a tree in a daze, suddenly revealed a smile, her body trembling.
Lisbeth hugged herself as if to calm her trembling, a dazed smile on her face.
Although several gazes were fixed on Lisbeth with strange looks, she didn't care, intoxicated by the feeling of fullness enveloping her.
"Haa...♡So today is just the beginning...♡" Gazing into the distance, Lisbeth's expression became dazed, her cheeks flushed.
"Gradually...♡My master is taking shape...♡Ahahaha...♡" On her face, filled with pleasure and daze, Lisbeth's features were shrouded in an evil shadow.
... At the same moment that Lisbeth trembled outside.
Kleia, battling the exhaustion and drowsiness from her ascetic prayers, bent down to retrieve the last condom and sucked on the horse semen.
A week of ascetic prayers and fasting had sharpened Kleia's senses to an extraordinary degree.
The rich, intoxicating scent of the horse semen, warmed by her body temperature, stimulated her heightened sense of taste, causing Kleia to tremble with female pleasure.
Although the heaviness in her body and the overwhelming drowsiness were unbearable, Kleia felt slightly more relaxed than during her previous ascetic prayers.
'...This inexplicable surge of power isn't just because of your horse semen, Master...' During the week of prayer, she had been able to perceive her body with her heightened senses.
It was a week in which she gained certainty about her body, which had always been filled with doubt.
She was certain that 'something' seeping into her body was transforming her into a different being.
'...But, I don't feel any discomfort or fear at all...' This change was proof that she... was gradually becoming her master's female self.
For some reason, this realization gradually became clear in her mind.
And instead of fear, she felt anticipation.
So, all she had to do was accept the changes within herself and go with the flow… right? Master… "…Hehe…Ah, ouch…?" Just as she was immersed in the happiness brought by the changes, Kleia felt the aura of the 'something' changing her body growing stronger.
At the same time, a burning, chilling sensation spread throughout her body. "…Master…"
For some reason, Kleia seemed to sense her master's presence from a distance.
...
"Gahhhhh! This damn thing!" Damn it!
What the hell am I doing?!
Am I crazy?!
Why did I suddenly poke that thing into my eyes?!
"Ah! Damn my eyes!" I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy!
This is definitely wrong!
Something's stuck inside, this is definitely going to make me blind!
That damn Shimo, that crazy bastard!
I have to get out of here right now, what have you done?! Wait, is this bead under some kind of brainwashing spell?!
Used to blind?!
Damn it, I'm doomed no matter what!
"Gahhh! Damn it! I can't see! I can't see... uh. How come I can see again..."
Rolling around and cursing, I cautiously opened my eyes, only to find a bright Сock instead of complete darkness.
...What the hell? I felt something explode and get stuck inside, didn't I? Luckily, I wasn't blind... but where did the bead go...?
"Damn... what's going on... I felt...
My eyes felt like they were about to explode... but why is my vision completely fine?
My eyes hurt a little, but it shouldn't be a ruptured eyeball, just like being slapped by a hand... What's going on?
Am I hallucinating?
No, and what's going on?
My head hurts more than my eyes…it feels like motion sickness… "…Uh, uh…? Hmm…?" While fumbling with my eyelids to check my eyes, I pressed my inexplicably throbbing head and looked around.
…Strange. My vision seems normal…but it feels different than before.
The collapsed rock entrance…the walls…the altar…the air…my body…my vision seems the same as usual, but whenever I see something, I feel something strange in my mind.
How can I describe this?
It's like, what I see is displaying numerical values?
Colors?
Concepts?
Similar things flash through my mind…is it not a hallucination?
Is this headache and strange feeling because that bead is embedded in my eye? "…Uh…!" While racking my brains trying to understand what was happening, a sudden sharp pain shot through my eyeball, and strange images appeared simultaneously. Lisbeth… Claire… Radia and those familiar faces… various locations in Esendia… the shattered earth…
Countless people erupted in war…
Bright blue planets and gloomy black planets… those fleeting images vanished as if extinguished, and the pain felt in my eyes dissipated with them.
…What was that just now?
It was too brief… no, it felt like I watched it for too long…?
And… what's going on?
I feel a strange unease.
A strange excitement, and my body is subtly heating up… Could this be the Sharingan or something?
Should I say something like, 'These eyes can see through the darkness, hehe'?
What's happening to my eyes… If only I had a mirror… Will the status bar show something?
"Status bar," I unconsciously called out, trying to grasp the situation…

... He blinked after seeing the strange status bar.
The familiar status bar flashed before my eyes.
What...what was that just now...? Something's definitely wrong with the status bar...Did I see it wrong? A subtle feeling washed over me, as if I'd seen something I shouldn't have.
At the same time, a chill ran down my spine.
My body trembled. It was as if instinct was warning me...I must have seen it wrong, don't delve any deeper.
...Yes, yes. I must have seen it wrong...The most important thing now is to grasp the situation.
[Mystic Eye]—The eye that can see through Eisendia's horse. It can be controlled, but it still consumes Ethel when not in use.
I erased the memory of the abnormal status bar from my mind and carefully examined the description of the Mystic Eye displayed on the status bar.
It can see through...?
Could this be the reason my head had been throbbing since earlier, and why a certain value had instinctively appeared?
Since it can be controlled, it's like an ON/OFF skill...but it consumes Ethel when not in use.
Isn't that the opposite? And its name is just "Mystic Eye"... Could it be because it's a horse's eye that it's called "Mystic [Horse] Eye"?
Ha, really... I find this perfunctory name a bit absurd. I tried channeling power into my eye to control the Mystic Eye.
After closing the Mystic Eye, the headache immediately disappeared, and only my ordinary vision remained. Those indescribable sensations or numerical values that surfaced in my mind were probably the things that were being observed...
Closing it doesn't seem to consume a lot of Essel...
Is it the type that continuously consumes it over time?
I have to endure this dizzying headache for so long.
How unpleasant.
Maybe it will get better after I get used to it.
So, how do you use the Mystic Eye...? "...Uh...!" After restarting the Mystic Eye, I gripped the reins, tensed my body, and deliberately recalled those strange numerical values that surfaced in my mind.
The strange feeling of being able to directly sense the specific numerical values flowing through Ethel's body was incredible.
Whenever I exerted force, as if controlling a part of my body, the displayed values would increase and be imprinted in my mind. "...Heh..." The moment I mastered the use of the Mystic Eyes, the previously suppressed excitement surged through my entire body again.
Unconsciously, the thought of that strange status bar that had once filled me with fear vanished.
What is this...? How foolish have I been using this horse body all this time?
Why can't I use skills—I immediately understood!
What is this?!
Is it a gift from God?!
"Puhahaha! No, it's not that...!" That's right. This is it.
This unique, special event, as if I'd been chosen as the protagonist.
It feels like someone is saying, "You're the protagonist, so go ahead and cause trouble," and giving me wings.
It lets you live as you please, the way you want to live.
It felt like someone was patting me on the back and saying, "Don't worry about anything!"
My whole body was itchy.
The excitement within me was uncontrollable.
Why am I suddenly so excited?!
Simply saying I've gained a great ability is too understated; this almost excessive pleasure is spreading through my body!
I feel like I can do anything now!
"Pfft!!!" I concentrated a large amount of Ethel into my legs, and like an explosion, I stomped on the altar and leaped into the air.
Soaring at an unbelievable height, I slammed the spiked mace held overhead directly into the rock blocking the entrance.
—Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The skill I knew how to use but could never execute—the Crushing Strike—exploded in an instant, shattering the rock blocking the entrance into pieces.
A basic blunt weapon skill recorded in a martial arts manual.
But its power was nowhere near the strength of a basic skill's strike.
Of course. The one using this skill is none other than myself!
"Uncontrollable power...!!! This is horse muscle...!!!" My feverish mind had been unable to think since earlier.
Faster than thought, my body was driven solely by instinct.
"It's here!!! Malte, you little bastard, I'll help you with this little thing, damn it!!! Hehehehehe!!!" Captured by this strange excitement, I started running towards the dungeon entrance.
