Harem Sync: Divine Edition-Chapter 26: Holy Intimacy

Kira and Isabela fought. Stomping on walls. Jumping over the table. Fire and claws. It was chaos in that room. They clashed so quickly.

Kira punched Isabela.

Isabela dodged the first, but not the second. Kira hit her in the stomach, then stomped on her.

Isabela staggered, stumbling back, hitting a column.

Kira came quickly. Claws raised, wanting to tear Isabela’s face.

Isabela dodged to the side and, without giving her time, kneed Kira in the stomach.

Kira coughed, saliva and blood. Isabela didn’t stop; with her punch on fire, she hit Kira in the face.

Kira was thrown far away. She flew, hit the wall. Fell to the ground.

Isabela stopped, panting, her hands still on fire. She looked at Kira on the ground, trying to get up.

"Why don’t you trust me yet?!" "He sacrificed himself! To save us both!"

She walked slowly towards Kira.

"And you... still think I’m the enemy?!"

Kira stood up unsteadily. She wiped the blood with the back of her hand, but she was tired. She had already fought several guards before, and she didn’t even have mana left. She was at her limit.

Isabela stopped in front of her.

Kira looked at her. Then... she fell to her knees.

Isabela looked at her and then... the fire ceased.

The flames in her hands went out. She extended her hand, proving she didn’t want to fight.

Kira looked at the outstretched hand. Then... she jumped.

She knocked Isabela to the ground with her claws raised. Pointed at her neck.

Isabela didn’t react, she only looked into Kira’s eyes.

"He sacrificed himself! To save us both!" "We both want the same thing. To save Yukihime... So stop fighting me... and fight me."

Kira looked into her eyes, searching for lies, betrayal... she found none.

She lowered her claws, got off Isabela, stood up and extended her hand to help her up.

Isabela took it and stood up, facing each other, and without waiting long, Isabela extended her hand. For a handshake.

Kira looked for a moment, but then grabbed Isabela’s nape. Pulled her forward.

They touched forehead to forehead.

That’s how beastkin or semi-humans apologized, or made agreements.

Trust. Respect. Bond.

Kira calmly released her and looked at Isabela.

"Let’s go save Yuki... ... ...And that naked guy."

Isabela smiled weakly. "Let’s go."

And then... a white explosion outside filled the curtained windows, it was as if the sun had exploded.

The shockwave caused the glass to crack.

"SHIT!"

The two ran to the mansion’s courtyard.

The airship carrying Yukihime, now in the sky, began to move away. Its engines echoed across the courtyard.

The airship was leaving... 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

In the center of the courtyard... Vandris was changing. Shadows began to break free from him, leaving his body. Wrapping around him. Possessing him. Spirits took control.

His eyes became black and empty, his body swelling. Muscles growing. Skin cracking.

"I can feel his mana... it’s increasing, I need to stop this," Kaelthar thought. He dashed to attack Vandris before the metamorphosis was complete. A direct punch to the face.

Vandris blocked the punch, catching Kaelthar’s fist as if it carried no weight at all.

Kaelthar’s eyes widened.

"This is getting interesting..."

He threw another punch, with his other hand. Vandris caught it too. Now both of Kaelthar’s hands were trapped.

Vandris grinned and headbutted.

The sound echoed across the field.

Kaelthar nearly fainted, his vision blurred. Blood trickled from his forehead.

"Ghr... k... He’s... really strong..."

But even so, he smiled, staggering backward.

Vandris didn’t give him time, he charged forward with several attacks: fists, kicks, knee strikes, and a final punch that sent Kaelthar flying.

Kaelthar flew, hit the ground, rolled, and crashed against the mansion wall, which collapsed on top of him.

Vandris stretched out a hand.

Kaelthar’s body was suddenly surrounded by runes. And then... IT EXPLODED.

The explosion cleared a good area of ​​the courtyard; rubble, cages, guards, and mages were thrown about.

Even the airship high above was affected, moving violently with turbulence.

When the blast wave swept across the yard... Haru stood up, ready to run even without knowing exactly where...

"Damn it, I’m going to die," he thought, running all messed up, tripping over bodies and things he barely knew what they were.

And in the blink of an eye... a blur took him.

He was taken out of that area, quickly.

System notified.

Haru blinked.

His vision, which had been blurry, almost blinded by the white light, began to partially return. Not completely, but enough.

He heard rapid breathing. And then he saw.

Kira.

It was her who had carried him and pulled him from the blast zone.

She looked at him, her golden eyes shining.

"Are you alright?"

Haru, naked, partially blind, panting...

He smiled weakly.

"...Define ’alright’."

Isabela arrived next. She stopped beside them. She looked at the destroyed courtyard. At Vandris, now possessed, monstrous. At the airship moving away.

"We need to get Yukihime and get out of here. Now."

Haru looked at the airship, calculating. "I only need 3 seconds..."

Kira turned her head. "Hm!?" She didn’t understand.

"But I need a lot of mana." She looked at the two of them.

Isabela and Kira stared at him.

Haru continued, directly and bluntly. "For that... I need your panties."

Silence.

"WHAT?!" Isabela and Kira shouted at the same time.

Isabela blushed. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! NOW?!"

Kira’s eyes widened, her ears drooped. "...WHAT?!"

Haru raised his hands, desperate. "My magic works like this! I need feminine touch! And the more intimate, the better!"

He pointed to the airship moving away.

"There’s no time for explanations! I just want two pairs of panties! NOW!"

Isabela covered her face with her hands. "I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE ASKING FOR THIS!"

Kira crossed her arms, suspicious. "How... how does a pair of panties give you mana?! That doesn’t make any sense!"

Haru (impatiently, looking at the airship): "I absorb DNA! Essence! Whatever comes into contact with your bodies! Panties have sweat, fluids, EVERYTHING! It’s pure fuel!"

He pointed to himself, still naked. "Look at me! I’M NAKED! NO MANA! NOTHING! Either you give me the panties NOW or we lose Yuki!"

Isabela opened her mouth, closed it, and then said, "THAT’S THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING I’VE EVER HEARD!"

Kira, red to her ears. "I... I can’t just... take them off and give them to you!"

Haru looked at the sky, at the airship, getting smaller and smaller.

"5 SECONDS OR IT DISAPPEARS!"

He turned to them, desperate.

"GO ON, DAMN IT!"

Isabela looked at Kira. Kira looked at Isabela, then they both looked at the airship, getting further and further away.

Isabela sighed. Loudly. Irritated.

"Come over there, after this you’ll feel them."

Haru turned his head and stretched his hands behind him.

Isabela had to take off her pants, pull down her panties, take them off, and put her pants back on. It was an uncomfortable feeling... and she threw her panties into Haru’s hand.

She was clearly embarrassed.

Kira, who was wearing a tribal skirt, was also embarrassed. "I... by the gods..." She looked to the side, pulled hers off too and threw it.

"If you tell anyone about this... I’ll rip your throat out."

Haru squeezed both panties tightly and put them on his head.
