'The spell is working. Just as they had told me, the illusion spells work fine on anthropes.'
Thought Jules as she lifted her head and kissed Ronny on his lips. They both started feeling each other's bodies as the light kiss turned into an extended liplock.
Eren grouped Julie's butt cheeks with both his hands as she started undressing him. He acted a tad intoxicated as if still under the effects of her spell and tried to rush things up a bit.
"Slow down there, Ronny. Remember, business and pleasure need to get harmonized.
Why don't you show me your therianthropic transformation and stay at it before we start enjoying each other's company?"
Eren acted as if drunk on the feeling of lust as he nodded at Julie's suggestion. Then he proceeded to execute the therianthropy transformation using Reen's help.
This time he used Agatha's beastly features as a base. His eyes turned into that of a beast's as the pupils turned vertical. The rest of the beastly manifestation was the same as what he had observed with Agatha.
Tweaking his mana signature was taken care of by Reen. She had based the alteration on what she had observed with Agatha. That's why Eren's deviation in mana signature was akin to that of an anthrope's.
The duo paused their activities and let Eren complete his transformation. Jules looked at the changed sight of Ronny in front of her before commenting:
"My my, Ronny. You should have started with this the last time, you know. So many lost opportunities."
Ronny and Julie had been stripped of all their clothes by now. He stepped into the pond and stopped walking further as soon as he reached knee-level depth. Then he turned backwards and gave his hand to the illusionist that was with him before replying:
"Don't worry about lost opportunities, Jules. We can always make new ones when the time is ripe. Like what we have this time."
Jules took Ronny hand in hand and followed him inside the pond. The water was pleasing to the skin and invigorated her. She felt that she should have cast the illusion spell on herself as well to enhance what she was feeling, just like Ronny.
Ronny stopped stepping further into the pond as soon as the water reached his waist level. He then turned back and spoke up:
If I stay in this state tonight, I'll eat you whole, Jules. Hope you know what you are asking me to do."
Ronny said in a deep voice. He hadn't forgotten to ask Reen about modulating his voice as well when he had entered his transformation.
"Hehe! Don't worry, Ronny. I can take it. You just empty your head and let your instincts take over you. Here, I'll lead the way."
Saying that Jules took Eren's hand and placed it on her right breast. Her right nipple had hardened under the effects of her state. So Eren started his assault on her body by firmly pinching the pink bud between his fingers.
"Ummmmm!"
An ecstatic moan escaped Julie's mouth. She held Ronny's hand that was fondling her breast and pressed upon it, telling him not to stop. The latter didn't need more encouragement anyway. He caressed her left butt cheek with his other hand while fine-tuning the pink nipple with the other.
Julie's blue hair gave off a lustrous sheen as she tilted her head backwards, enjoying the ecstatic pain coming from Ronny's fondling of her body.
Pain. Since Ronny was in his transformed beastly status, he had started getting rough with the illusionist. But surprisingly or unsurprisingly, she didn't mind. Her constant moans and constant chanting of Ronny's name in ecstasy indicated she liked the rough treatment.
Ronny carried on his assault as his face drew closer to Julie's neck. His slightly canine teeth bit onto her neck. This was a move driven by Eren's instincts. And as soon as he did, the blood that he tasted felt sweet in his mouth. Neither was he repulsed by tasting the foreign blood in his mouth.
'Hm? Do I like tasting blood now? Is this another consequence of being fused with Reen?'
Eren AKA Ronny thought to himself as he withdrew from his act. He didn't mind tasting human blood. Neither did he care about the repercussions of the newfound trait he had found out about himself.
Eren didn't care that his very act could be deemed as cannibalism. Animals would eat others of their kind when they had to. Humans hypocritically thought they were above animals by putting such pretentious restrictions on themselves. And then they would proceed to commit even more vile deeds than animals ever could.
Eren's point of view was that if killing humans for the sake of his benefits was a normal thing for him, then devouring them was no different. But he had no desire to continue with the blood-drinking feast just yet.
"Aaaaaaaaah! Ronny, you beast. More. I want more."
Ronny obliged. Both of their groins were immersed in water. The butcher first started to play with Julie's clit as he fingered her love hole with her other hand. The warm water doubled the lady's pleasure level even further as she allowed her partner easy access by adjusting her legs.
'She is almost about to lose her concentration and stop her spell execution.'
Reen informed Eren. The latter nodded internally and stopped driving the illusionist to the edge. For some reason, he thought the lady should be in control of her senses while assuming that he wasn't.
Ronny started praising Jules some more before resuming the act. That momentary respite was enough for the illusionist to get back to her senses and maintain her spell.
She started asking Ron some personal questions after ensuring from her end that he was way too deep to care about hiding facts from her. Their act carried on as she proceeded to guide his actions.
She asked him about his experiences in Beast Bloods. Then proceeded to ask him about his recent adventure in the city of Nilaami. Like always, the butcher added a hint of truth in his lies and made her drink the cocktail of his bullshittery.
Jules thought she was in full control of the situation. But unbeknownst to her, Ronny was choosing appropriate words to answer her interrogative questions with.
Ronny had figured out that Julie needed the handicap of her illusion spell to know that whatever she was getting from him was the truth. So he just made her think that everything was working out her way.
The most compelling illusions were those when the subject thought they were in complete control of the situation after all.
