Chapter 205: Chapter 4: Show Me Your Power!
When Lancelot's training ended, it was close to 7 am, and his body was already seeing changes. His former pale and dainty skin was more tanned, tight and tough.
His skin could now resist a blade slashing at him. Eventually, It would evolve enough to take someone of Arthur's level to mark his skin as he left Caladbolg in a necklace form...
A small black sword on a silver chain as she needed to use this form to absorb as much ether from his body as possible.
Although she could hold immense levels inside her, she couldn't generate it alone,, which was the weakness of her current state.
Thus, Lancelot, who regenerated far too much, was more than happy to pour it inside her as she began to bond with him through the training. Their feelings towards each other became more natural and less volatile.
'How is your body, darling?' Lancelot was more concerned with Morgana than himself, as her gentle voice replied instantly.
[Fool... That's my question, are you sure you want to go? Today, that father of hers will probably try to test your power! You cannot use most of your powers due to training every seven hours!]
'I love you, so don't be mad. Haha.'
[Don't 'Haha' me, you bastard... why are you so breathtaking when you train so hard? My heart aches watching you hurt badly... but my womb desires another child...]
{Master... I will make sure you can recover in time with my magic... Please take it easier...}
'Relax, both of you. I will train twice a day, and only during my sleep time will I go all out... Demons don't need sleep after all!'
[Fool... we don't need to, but we can!]
{Master!}
'Shhh... just fifteen days, then I will change it to once a day. I must crush him this time... and there is also Marianne... we promised to ally, but I have to show her in this tournament I am worthy of her complete trust!'
[Marianne Le Fay... You are such a horny bastard... Just make sure you remember I won't allow infinite wives! There will be no more than twelve!]
Lancelot's feet almost tripped as he looked around the quiet room, the scent of his body thick with the bath syrup and shampoo that Nuriel and Morgana used to cleanse him after he collapsed an hour ago...
'Better than sweat, I guess...'
"Master... Please don't train too hard..." Marimo's voice sounded in his mind. Thanks to the changes in the magical power of his territory and the addition of the frozen kingdom, he could now listen to most of the named troops using telepathy, but it wasn't as free or unlimited as his current wives or commanders.
Rena, Nuriel, Guinevere, Rena, Ikumi, Marimo, Sumika and Maria could speak to him easily; however, they wouldn't hear all his messages because he is with Sumika and Maria.
The room was quite comfy, with blue and silver ribbons and curtains covering the windows and furniture, giving the room a regal atmosphere; Lancelot enjoyed Maria's tastes...
'Don't worry, Marimo... I will just train normally today!'
After dressing comfortably, Lancelot left the room, where servants bowed and led him downstairs, where Maria and Sumika waited with Helena and Baron Lovell.
"Good morning, Brat. Did you sleep well?" Baron Lovell greeted Lancelot politely... Or rather as politely as he could, but somehow Lancelot enjoyed this interaction and smiled back with a wide grin, his fangs showing with narrow crescent moon eyes forming a lovely face.
"Is it me, or is he even more sexy... was his skin that tanned?" Helena whispered while the Baron's face looked red with jealousy, hearing his wife calling another man sexy...
Sumika and Maria had Lancelot's vision where he always looked perfect, but when they noticed, they were surprised... at how his attire was less perfect, with the chest buttons open, revealing his tanned muscles and sexy body lines...
"Morning!" Lancelot greeted back, shocking Maria, Sumika and Helena, who stared at him in shock... his politeness and slightly deeper voice, as if his training was changing him completely into a superior existence... felt unexpected as Baron Lovell nodded with approval.
Helena smiled... "Come... sit and eat breakfast; I hear you desired to train last night. Don't push yourself too hard... you are young, but you can still injure your body..."
Her serpentine eyes looked between his legs, her perversion nothing new, but Lancelot ignored it and hugged Sumika and Maria warmly, greeting them before sitting down to eat...
Maria blushed... "Lancelot... why are you acting strangely...?"
Sumika nodded... "Yes... Master?"
"What do you mean? I am hungry... and my two lovely ladies were so cute, I almost mistook them for my breakfast." Lancelot smiled... he felt different; his mind was clear, and his body was healthy despite the brutal training... Kara was amazing and pushed him to his limits.
"Hahi!?" Maria's face became bright red as she pushed her breakfast with her fork but kicked her feet in delight... Sumika, not used to such a forward and hunky Lancelot, also became sullen... but her lips curled into a happy grin.
Helena smiled... "This kid... he's good."
Baron Lovell sighed... "He reminds me of when I met you... Helena..."
The two chuckled to themselves and then focused on breakfast.
Breakfast was peaceful; Lancelot listened to Maria and Sumika talk about the local town and areas to visit, including various shops and stalls filled with rare goods...
After breakfast, Lancelot followed Baron Lovell outside... into a large arena that seemed more like a coliseum... He guessed it was used for tournaments normally but gathered that the Baron wished to test him.
"Old man, are we gonna fight with magic, just swords or our bodies?" Lancelot grasped a basic longsword, nothing special as his fingers danced along the long handle, his eyes filled with a serious gaze, no mockery or jokes.
Baron Lovell grinned... "Body! No weapons and no magic!"
"Fine!" Lancelot didn't complain or argue; he threw the sword to the side and cracked his neck before rolling his arms and shoulders... loosening his muscles as Baron Lovell removed his shirt and revealed his buff body covered in scars...
"Ready... BRAT!" The Baron shouted excitedly... Helena, Maria and Sumika watched nearby, standing high up in the seating area, with servants bringing refreshments.
"Oh, your father is so jealous; he only acts like this when I tell him about the nights we spend with our swinging partners normally... fufu."
"Mother!! Be more normal!!"
"I can't help it; this is what makes your father happy... Ah, I love your father so much... look at his cute blading head..."
Yes it wasn't her choice or desire but the baron himself who held the inclination after watching his first love sleeping with his father in their mansion... That girl would go on to become his fourth mother... and twisting his view on love for the rest of his life.
Yet he didn't blame either, only blaming his weak self.
Maria sighed... "Mama... please behave... Lancelot is fighting Papa seriously..."
Sumika nodded... "Lady Helena, My Master will win."
Helena laughed lightly as Baron Lovell launched his fist at Lancelot, who blocked it with his finger, causing a loud bang... dust flew everywhere as Lancelot remained steady and unaffected, while the Baron's eyes widened...
"So, you aren't just a boy without power... GOOD GOOD!" the baron's muscles and body grew larger, causing Lancelot's wild... beastly smile to grow larger...
"Oh? A nice fight!"
"Show me your power! Son of the fabled Du Lac Battle Maiden!"
BOOOOM!
The two clashed... Lancelot punched Baron Lovell's stomach, the powerful impact causing a shockwave, as his flesh and muscles rippled around the fist, causing him to spit blood... yet the Baron returned a punch... causing Lancelot's ribs to shudder, yet his face showed excitement as he licked his lips hungrily. "Nice!"
Helena looked excited, her eyes watching the pair like a hawk, her fists tight as if she wanted to fight a burning aura for battle around her body... "Maria, Sumika, it seems you are both lucky... Fufu."
Baron Lovell roared with fury as he smashed Lancelot's head, causing his body to spin across the sandy arena floor, leaving a long trail of sand and dirt flying, yet Lancelot leapt forward, unleashing a flurry of punches, as Baron Lovell matched him with equal force and ferocity... Lancelot realised Maria's father was strong.
However, he soon found an opening and unleashed a devastating uppercut, smashing the Baron's chin; his eyes glazed over... blood spewed from his lips as he shot into the air, landing heavily as Lancelot released a sigh... 'Not bad... he is quite strong.'
Helena chuckled... Then vanished....
Like a meteor, her flying kick shot towards Lancelot. "HAHA! NOW IT'S MY TURN SEXY BOY!"
Her speed shocked Lancelot, and he instantly retaliated using his divine eyes, using his hand to grab her foot... He swung her around, causing the sand to fly everywhere as he released her, letting her crash heavily into her passed-out husband...
Or she should have, but the next moment, an arm smashed across Lancelot's chest as she hit him with a brutal closeline filled with such power, his body flipped backwards eight times before smashing into the ground with a loud explosion.
Maria gasped... Sumika fell silent... Helena landed with a graceful pose before rushing forward to Lancelot's aid... worried she may have injured him... only to see him getting up with a wide grin and chuckling loudly. "Wow!
Lady Helena... you are fucking amazing!"
Lancelot laughed as Baron Lovell woke up... coughing weakly. "Ah... darling... did I lose?"
Helena smiled lovingly.
"Honey... this boy would probably crush you in all aspects as a man..." Her eyes briefly looked below Lancelot's waist before noticing he was ready for more.
"Show me your power! You can protect our lovely daughter and give us many strong little grandchildren!" Helena shouted with an excited voice.
