Chapter 451 Finally [2/2]
"My love, please forgive us for going against your customs. I was the one who suggested it. In the North, we use stones or weapons as gifts and put our brands on them."
"Dearest, since it makes no sense to wear so many rings, we will follow Liv's suggestion instead."
"Possum, I hope you like it. It will be our first and last collaboration."
"Darling, never take this off your body, okay? At all times. Even when you shower or shit. The only time I will allow it is when you are naked and making love to me."
"Honey, these go great with your suit. We had Addison add a few things, so he couldn't give them to you right away."
"Husband, I hope these will ensure that you always come back to me."
"Shujin, instead of a ring, we are giving you this devil's soul gear. It is fine to take care of them, but do not forget to use them to protect yourself."
After Pixie arrived at the center of the altar. Before I could say anything, the Sirens all stood up and extended their hands toward Pixie, or more specifically, the soul gear in her hands.
The girls all began to emit death resonance in frightening quantities.
"WE ARE THE SEVEN SIRENS! ON THIS DAY WE GIVE OUR BRAND TO THE ONE WHO OWNS OUR HEART! ON OUR LIVES WE SWEAR!" x7
Then I felt what seemed to be souls in the air merge together like bodies of water. Blood also came out of the Sirens' fingertips, floating as if we were in space.
Each Siren began to move her fingers in the air as the rivers of souls circled around Pixie. Blood continued to flow from the girls and merged with the flowing soul bodies, turning them red.
Unlike the chains of the Seeker's Vow, the red Soul Rivers of the Sirens felt warm and pleasant. If before I had shivered and felt anxious. The Soul Rivers calmed and rejuvenated my entire being.
'Exa, what am I looking at?'
[According to Lady Liv, in the north, instead of rings or bracelets, branded gifts are exchanged. Since gems are rare, anything can be used. The only rule is that the branding must be done personally. By mixing soul and blood, it is possible to carve a symbol that enchants an object with the giver's {Fate}.]
'Oh? So it's a makeshift soul gear?'
[Yes, but it is a known fact that there can only be one {Fate} on a soul gear. So I am not sure what will happen to the Sirens' collaboration.]
The girls all began to recite their vows as they sent red rivers toward Pixie. Rather than all at once, they went in sequence.
"I, Liv Ivaldi, vow to love only you until the world burns to ashes. As your shield, through every storm and disaster, I shall be with you. The day you fall will be the day I do. For when we die, we die together."
After Liv's romantic promise, one of the Soul Rivers entered the cufflinks and made them glow. The other girls followed suit.
"I, Lilly Browning, vow to love only you for all eternity. I will be the blade that ends those who wish you harm and the sword that cuts through all your fears. Dearest, wherever you lead, I will always follow."
Once again, another river moved. Just like Liv, Lilly knelt beside me again. I lovingly checked if her fingers were still bleeding and sucked them clean.
"I, Robyn Lithgow, vow to love only you as long as I exist. I will be the wind that pushes you forward and the weight that keeps you grounded. Possum, your arms are my home and your love my reason to live."
More and more Soul Rivers flowed into the little cufflinks. As the rings I gave to the Sirens radiated with blessings, these devil's remains cufflinks began to turn red as if heated in a furnace by death resonance.
"I, Josephine Benelli, vow to love only you in this life and the next. My strength shall enforce your will, and my ears shall listen to your voice. Darling, only you can give me peace. Whether against the living or the dead, or even against fate, my place is by your side!"
As I listened to one such vow after another, my heart was filled with love. I had to physically restrain myself from tearing off their veils and kissing my girls. It was not enough that their wedding dresses made me incredibly horny. They seduced me even more with their whispers of affection.
"I, Isabella Taurus, vow to love only you for the rest of my days. I offer you my entire being, my talents, my resources and my wisdom, they exist only for your sake. Honey, you are the one who gave me hope, and I will never let you go!"
Perhaps amused by the impatience of all seven of my bodies, the girls who were already seated took my hands to their lips and kissed them gently. As if they all wanted to say, "Just a little more."
"I, Jasmine Denel, vow to love you until the sun rises in the morning. I will be the eyes to guide you through the darkness and the light. Husband, you are my destiny, from this day forward we are one in will and purpose!"
The combined death resonance of the Sirens and the souls being shoved into the cufflinks was frightening already, but then one more remained. I had no doubt that this new soul gear would be immensely powerful.
"I, Aki Miroku, vow to love only you until reality comes to an end. I will be the one who gives you strength when you are weak and the one who gives you warmth when you are cold. Shujin, you are my master, the only one I will serve forever."
It was a good thing that humans were protected from the death resonance, otherwise my in-laws and my adoptive family might have all died. As the last soul river entered the cufflinks, the girls all pulled me toward the center.
"Congratulations, my lord!" Pixie cheered as she presented the cufflinks.
"Dearest, please cancel {Day by Day} and stretch out your arms," Lilly advised.
I followed her words. Bella and Jo came forward and gently removed the simple black buttons that served as my cufflinks.
Next, Jasmine and Aki each took one of the cuff link soul gears and attached them to my cuffs. As I marveled at the gift, Liv and Robyn came forward and touched the soul gears.
"{Never Alone}," they both said with smiles.
At their words, the cufflinks turned into bracers that covered my arms. They looked extremely cool and beautiful. The warmth and affection emanating from these soul gear gave me butterflies.
I turned to Phillip as I invoked {Day by Day}.
"Phillip, I cannot wait any longer."
The monocled bastard smiled goofily as he declared for all to hear.
"As the representative of Church and State, I now pronounce you all man and wife. My lord, you may now kiss your brides."
The Sirens all meekly offered their veils for me to remove. I gently lifted them so as not to disturb their hair and makeup. The moment I saw the beautiful faces of my battle harem, I could not help but reaffirm my feelings.
"I love you," all seven of my bodies declared.
I then gave them all a sweet and tender kiss. From this moment on, these women were now mine in the eyes of Heaven, Earth, and Hellsgate. I savored their lips for a few more seconds.
Desire began to drive me insane. Then I put my hand on their waists and formed a line with them. Facing all the guests.
"CONGRATULATIONS, MY LORD!" "CONGRATULATIONS, MY LADIES!"
cheered the rest of the Reapers and Hellsend. Overwhelmed with emotion, I roared for all to hear.
"I'M FINALLY GETTING LAID! TIME TO START THE PARTY!"
"BELOVED!" "DEAREST!" "POSSUM!" "DARLING!" "HONEY!" "HUSBAND!" "ANATA!" my girls cried out.
Finally. Finally, this moment arrived.
'And it will be oh so worth it.'
