As they put on their clothes Lily asked, “Uhm, will I see you again?” and looked at him with hope.
She had truly fallen head over heels for him and wasn't shy about showing her feelings for him if it could make him stay.
Eco looked at her and replied, "I'm busy fixing things the stupid gods have messed with so right now I don't have time."
Lily sighed, knowing now that he might have been sent by a powerful god to fix what the other gods had screwed up. That meant he was stronger than the cunning gods and she could really use his backer right now to defeat them. She could save the gods that were captured and save the whole world unless he was already doing it.
Eco looked at Excalibur lying on the ground and blinked a few times. He walked over to it and bent down, studying it more closely.
“It has been infected.” he said.
Lily walked up to him and said, "Yes, unfortunately Arthur can't touch it and only me because of the system."
Eco looked at her and said, "You must have been punished for not handing it in."
Lily nodded, knowing that he was smart and had the inside knowledge of everything.
Eco smiled and said, "Then let's get it fixed or the system will keep punishing you for just one quest and I can't let that happen."
He looked at the sword again and placed his index finger on the blade and suddenly the sword began to vibrate. Suddenly something black condensed onto the blade and disappeared into Eco's index finger. When all the black was gone, he held the sword and stood up and handed it to Lily.
"Wow, you're a god, no, you're better than the cunning gods." praised Lily and placed Excalibur in the space ring.
Suddenly Eco took out a long thin white sword that looked like it was made of snow. There was some white smoke constantly floating around the blade and the shaft had a lily engraved on it. It was so beautiful that Lily fell in love with the sword immediately.
"Since you don't have a sword when you have to hand it back, take this here instead." he said, handing her the sword.
Lily felt awkward and embarrassed that she couldn't give anything in return. She had just had hot sex with him in a hot spring and now he fixed Excalibur for her and even gave her a beautiful sword on top of it.
"I don't deserve it." she refused immediately.
“I think you misunderstand me. This is how you can stay alive until we meet again.” Eco explained.
When Lily heard him, she immediately accepted the sword ecstatically. It felt comfortable and not cold at all and when she studied it more closely it looked like snow was sprinkled on it which gave it a magical appearance.
She had nothing else to give in return as he was much stronger than her and walked up to him and stood on her toes and kissed him gently on the mouth.
"Thank you very much, even if I'm not worthy." she said, still embarrassed.
Eco shook his head and said, “You are more worthy than you think. You just haven't discovered your abilities yet.”
Lily put the sword in the space ring but wondered if she hadn't unlocked it plate class and suddenly wondered why she could hold the sword.
When Eco saw her expression, he immediately said, "It's not from your world so you don't have to have a strange skill to hold it."
Lily was so happy when she heard that she hugged him. She was so tired of having to unlock everything and having to find skills books to do so. In the future, she vowed to make something special for him that was worthy of him.
"Unfortunately, I have nothing to give in return." she apologized.
Eco gave her a beautiful smile and said, “There is actually something you can do for me.”
Lily's heart beat faster as she heard the words and said, “I will do anything for you.” because she meant it.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Eco suddenly had a serious face and asked, “Can you stop summoning Devil's Servant?”
Lily didn't question it because she already felt bad about summoning in general as she had an idea that it could hurt them and nodded.
"Of course. I would not do it in advance as I feel it is slavery.” she said.
She had her slave that she could use so she didn't need to use summoning anymore.
"Thanks. In return, I can give you something else that can protect you.” said Eco who looked happy.
He took out a small thin black ring with a small black flower with a bud in the middle that looked like a pearl. The flower looked like a lotus, and it looked incredibly beautiful.
Lily felt herself being proposed to and her cheeks blushed, and her heart was pounding fast, and she was having trouble controlling her breathing. She was afraid of passing out and took some deep breaths.
Eco took her right hand and placed the black ring on her ring finger.
"It can summon a reaper and those it kills do not come to the soul lords. They must go to the underworld to retrieve their soul.” Eco explained.
Lily still thought she was being proposed to and only heard the word reaper and not the rest, which were the most important.
She hugged him and kissed him gently on the mouth, happy and ecstatic at the same time. She took it as a proposal and had a goofy smile.
When Eco saw that she was happy he was also happy and was relieved, "Now you shouldn't die otherwise you have to come to me and get someone else who is stronger."
As they were about to say goodbye to each other, Eco asked, "By the way, can you do me a favor?"
Lily nodded immediately without asking what it was because she was still in seventh heaven that he had proposed to her or so it seemed from her point of view.
Eco showed her his right palm and suddenly a black dog with three heads appeared. It had red eyes and sharp white teeth, and it had some red lines on its back. It had black sharp claws and there was foam around its mouth.
Lily recognized it immediately as Cerberus, but it belonged to Hades so why did Eco have it?
Confused, she looked at him and asked, "Isn't that Cerberus?"
"Hades has screwed up and been captured and I don't have time to save him now so can you take care of Cerberus until he gets free?" Eco explained.
Lily gulped and looked at Cerberus again. First Poseidon and now Hades and she was afraid that the next one she would have to save was Zeus or another god such as Odin.
"But it serves Hades and I'm clearly not him." she said.
"Until you free Hades, it serves you." Eco said, smiling kindly at her.
With the sun's rays behind him it looked like there was a halo over his head and his body radiated something divine and she now had no doubt that he was a god but where did he come from?
If he was stronger than Hades and the other gods who had screwed it all up, it meant that he was some kind of god higher than them.
“Are you the Almighty?” she asked, her heart beating faster.
Eco chuckled and replied, "You can't compare me to the old goat." and shook his head.
Lily held out her right hand and Cerberus crawled onto it and looked at her curiously.
Eco looked at it and said coldly, "If I find out you have disobeyed, I will punish you."
Cerberus grunted and nodded as if he had understood him. Lily was wearing too many animals now. There was Merlin's Black Bird and the Black Serpent and now Cerberus. She put it on her left shoulder and said goodbye to Eco one last time but suddenly something big, warm, and soft was placed in her right hand. She looked and saw a black egg the size of an ostrich egg.
“Wow, what is that?” she asked, her heart beating faster.
Were they going to raise a child together now?
Eco saw that she was happy and replied, “It was lonely, and I think you can take good care of it. It’s the only one in all the worlds so it’s special just like you.”
Lily thought of The Soul Healing Lake to hatch the other beast eggs and said, “I can't hatch it.” and was disappointed.
"If you give it a drop of your blood, it will hatch." Eco explained.
Lily took the egg in the space ring kissed and hugged him again but this time she wasn't sad because she had his ring which meant they would meet again.
She went to the big lake where the other beasts were, and Mamba turned into a small snake and sat on her right shoulder.
"Let's get home to Kahrlin." she said looking at the pack of four lizards.
She covered herself up and put on her dragon mask because she wasn't stupid. Anyone who saw a bunch of fire lizards in the sky would notice it immediately and she couldn't hide them since she didn't have a whistle. She got on Charizard, and they flew off and she called Ace who took the call immediately.
“Lily, where have you been? I’ve been very worried.” he said.
Lily explained what had happened and how Celestia had pushed her out of the chasm and mentioned Eco as having 'saved her'. She had to twist the story a bit even though he knew she was seeing William.
“I've had enough of her. Shall I take revenge on her for you?” asked Ace sounding very angry.
"No, I have my own plans with her." Lily replied.
Ace explained that they had been looking for her for 2 days and that Aaron and Jun De chose to stay in the village and wait for her. He had to return to the guild due to important meetings and therefore could not stay.
"I'm not angry with you. We couldn't contact each other at all.” Lily said.
"Okay, I'm assuming you're coming to the beauty pageant." Ace said.
Lily had completely forgotten about it and asked, "When is it?"
"Tomorrow. It takes place in Amenale.” Ace replied.
They ended their conversation and Lily contacted Aaron who took the call immediately.
She explained everything to him except the sex episode but mentioned Eco who she thought was the almighty. The village was nearby and agreed to pick them up there. She asked him to find a deserted area as she had an army of fire lizards.
Half an hour later she saw yellow fields which she guessed were buttercups shining beautifully in the sun. She landed in front of the field and saw Aaron and Jun De who were in human form. Aaron and Jun De got on a lizard each and they flew off towards Kahrlin.
"You have harvested good this time." Aaron admired as he looked around at the black fire lizards.
Lily chuckled loudly and said, “I can thank Celestia for that. Ha, ha, ha. No pain, no gain.”
