The Duel! Lemuria Heart versus Misty Elektra!
It wasn’t long after lunchtime that a emergency notification arrived on Tenshi Serina’s smartphone.
(Misty Elektra has attacked a bank!?)
The media has begun broadcasting immediately from the incident site and in the screen of Serina’s smartphone a twenty something year old reporter stands with a bank and several police cars in the background. In seems that a beastman named Misty Elektra has broken into a bank and is currently holding the clerks and customers hostage within the bank. It has already been ten minutes since the incident started and the police have cordoned off the area. While watching the news, Serina immediately checks the bulletin board. There was a new message there that looked like a normal post, but Serina instantly understands the coded message.
[Currently the offender known as Misty Elektra is demanding a duel with Lemuria Heart.]
Reading that, Serina’s chest tightens. For the first time ever a beastman has demanded a duel with a person like a human might. It will be much more difficult to fight a beastman who isn’t feral and rampaging around. However, as a warrior of justice, Serina feels her thoughts heating up with the idea of a battle. However, at the same time she can’t stand the thought that a bank was attacked merely to get her to come and duel with Misty Elektra. It’s not worth it. Serina rushes out, heading to the forest behind the school buildings. From here at the academy, the crime scene is about ten kilometres away. However, once she transforms into Lemuria Heart, it’s only ten kilometres away. Moving into the shadow of the school building and heading into the woods on the mountain to hide from prying eyes, Serina steps into a heavily shaded area. Once she is sure no one can see her, she grabs the pyramid shaped pendant around her neck.
“Soul of Lemuria, give me the power to fight… the sword of the righteous that can cut apart evil! Transform! Lemuria Heart!!”
When she accepted the offer of the pendant, the Soul of Lemuria, Serina had first heard the spell that was needed to transform. When finished, a bright light shot into the sky coming from the Soul of Lemuria. At the same time Serina’s uniform, underwear and even her socks disappeared. Even the band holding her hair disappeared and she became completely nude. The light shooting into the sky swelled and covered Tenshi Serina’s nude body, at the same time a battle costume of black tights appeared. Her hair changed colour to a red and a dazzling bow appeared that tied her hair back into a ponytail. Particles of light spinning around her, the coalesced into a chest protector, white boots and white gloves. The transformation was complete when the sword appeared at her hip. Once all the light has been absorbed into Tenshi Serina, the superhuman abilities of Lemuria Heart has manifested.
“Transformation complete… now, I need to go!”
“Serina-chan!”
“Eh!? What… Airi?”
How long had she been there? Airi appeared from behind a bush, her smartphone in hand.
“Did you take a photo?”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to. But when I saw Serena-chan running over here, I thought… maybe I could see you change into Lemuria Heart.”
“You don’t need to apologise, Airi knows my true identity. But, as I’ve said before, I want you to delete that video okay. If people figured out my real identity they might target the people I love, they could aim at you Airi.”
“Yeah, yes! I understand.”
The hand holding the smartphone is shaking. She wanted to do what Serina asked, but her finger was shaking too much to operate the phone.
“I understand, but I wanted to see Serina-chan become Lemuria Heart, can I just keep it today…”
“Well… okay, just for today, alright?”
“Really?”
“Yeah! However, after today I want you to delete it properly okay Airi?”
“I understand!”
Serina doesn’t want to argue with Airi. Even now Misty Elektra is at the crime scene. If Serina arrives too late, she may kill hostages. If that happens Serina won’t be able to forgive herself.
“Alright, I have to go. I need to save the people who need my help!”
“Yes! Please, please go quickly. Also, make sure you win Lemuria Heart-sama♥”
Airi’s lips touched Serina’s cheek. The best kind of protection for a knight about to engage in a duel.
“I swear by the goddess I shall win!”
A flame was burning in Serina’s, Lemuria Heart’s, chest. Taking a step back from Airi, putting strength in her feet, she leaps away. Transformed into Lemuria Heart, Serina’s physical abilities are far greater than a normal human. Landing atop a tree ten metres tall, she can do this from a standing jump without any kind of run up. Not only that, by using the treetops as springs, she can move across the sky quickly as if she’s really flying. Lemuria Heart has a map of K prefecture in her head. It will be fasted to travel on the expressway to get to the crime scene. Seeing a large truck, she leaped towards it as she approached the freeway. She then run along the top of several shipping containers at a construction site. Leaping onto another truck that is driving at a hundred kilometres an hour, she pauses for a moment and then leaps off flying directly towards the incident site. Looking below she can see the exact same scenery she saw on the news on her smartphone and, adjusting her leap, she lands directly between the bank and the police cars.
“Ahhh! Lemuria Heart!”
“Misty Elektra!?”
Landing with her feet together, despite leaping off of the expressway, Lemuria Heart hasn’t taken any damage. Shaking her head to settle her scarlet hair, she walks towards the approaching police officer. There is no sign of Saeko who should normally be in charge of a scene like this.
“Ye, yes! That’s the thing, Misty Elektra escaped a moment ago, the Captain is in pursuit…”
“She ran away? Didn’t you say she was demanding a duel with me?”
Lemuria Heart almost lost her composure. Demanding Lemuria Heart came to face her in a one on one duel and then running away, this woman was unforgiveable.
“Ye, yes! That’s right. She was telling us to let her fight Lemuria Heart… that’s not wrong. But, its also true that she just ran away too!”
“Which way did she go?”
“Are you going to chase her? That’s ridiculous!”
“It’s not ridiculous. Which way did Saeko-san go? Misty Elektra must have gone feral by now. She’s going to be much stronger than last time… she’s dangerous to Saeko-san.”
“It, it’s like that!?”
“If she had any ability to reason left it would be strange… Now that her humanity is gone, I need to defeat her before she hurts anyone.”
The end of a beastman is pitiful. Although they may have originally desired it, in the end they go feral, losing their humanity, emotions and ability to reason. As a warrior, it was natural that Lemuria Heart wanted to defeat them while they still were human enough to understand what was happening.
“…She was heading towards the shopping district.”
The police officer gave the best information he had. There is a shopping district just to the east of the current location. However, it is a dismal place and there are few customers due to a nearby large supermarket, the majority of the district now a shutter town.
“The shopping district, I understand. Thank you!”
“Be careful Lemuria Heart!”
She thanked the police officer. In a rush, Lemuria Heart then quickly jumped away. The jumping power Lemuria Heart can produce is about ten metres directly up and about fifty metres in length. Even if Misty Elektra’s leopard genes were going into hyper activity, Lemuria Heart was confident she could catch up. Running thought he streets at the highest speed she could, Lemuria Heart quickly arrived at the entrance to the main shopping street in the district. As she’d thought, the street’s shutters are all down and there isn’t a single person in sight. Lemuria Heart quickly dashes down the street while carefully looking around herself. Every door was covered in a shutter and as she looked up, she could see a tarpaulin to stop the rain was hung over the street. Although there are several alleys, there isn’t a single sign of humanity. As Lemuria Heart continues further in, a mist appears. At first Lemuria Heart though it was smoke, but it has no scent. Still, she covers her mouth and continues running. Finally she sees a woman standing ahead of her. It is a blonde woman in a high legged leotard styled bondage costume. There’s shouldn’t be a need to ask who it is.
“Who are you!”
“Fufufu, you know my name Lemuria heart. I’m Misty Elektra! Don’t tell me you forgot the woman whose left arm you sliced off!”
As she says, during the last battle the left arm was completely cut off of the shoulder. However, the left arm of the Misty Elektra who has appeared again is completely cured. It is impossible for normal medicine to regenerate even a beastman’s body. Since it has been repaired, it is proof that there is a person extremely skilled in beastification surgery active in K prefecture.
“Lemuria heart! Have a duel with me! Have a contest with me!”
“…I know. Only while you remain human.”
For now it doesn’t need deep thought. The real reason Lemuria Heart came here was to settle the score with her.
“Don’t worry Lemuria Heart, I won’t run away or hide! I, Misty Elektra came here to settle things with you!”
Lemuria heart prepares to draw her sword.
“Good, now to the main point Lemuria Heart. Here! Look upon my beastman form!”
A layer of hair quickly grows from under the bondage costume. Misty Elektra’s whole body becoming covered in yellow hair.
“Now! Let’s fight!”
Misty Elektra drops her body to all fours and begins running along the ground. The mist filling the shopping district has become a thick fog hanging heavily along the ground. Elektra, despite her gaudy body hair, has completely disappeared into the fog.
“Eh!?”
Unable to see, Lemuria Heart focuses her hearing and listens for Elektra’s footsteps. Even if Elektra charges in a straight line, thanks to the fog, she can’t be seen. Hearing her footsteps and thanks to experience, Lemuria Heart leaps back and holds up her sword in front of her as Misty Elektra leaps.
“Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Too simple!”
When the claws hit the sword, sparks scatter. Elektra’s attack is countered and easily avoided. However, at the same time Elektra is able to bounce away and disappear into the fog again.
“Such an underhanded tactic. You won’t be able to win with something of that level.”
“Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Elektra immediately returns after touching the ground, however her timing and movements were completely read and her nails are blocked again. Aiming to counter, Lemuria Heart waited until Elektra leaped and then stepped forward.
“What!?”
Shocked to see the sword suddenly coming at her face as she was unable to dodge in the air, Elektra’s offense was instantly flipped and she was forced to block as best she could. Struck at almost from below, a black nail was sliced from her hand in a shower of sparks.
“Fu… the black nails you’re so proud of Elektra was just trimmed.”
Landing on two feet, Elektra stands there, the nails on her right hand at different lengths.
“My precious nails… Nufufufu, as expected of my beloved Lemuria Heart.”
“What are you talking about…”
“What do you mean, obviously I’ve fallen in love with a powerful woman like you. Didn’t you know?”
Despite being in the middle of a battle, Lemuria Heart’s brain refused to fire for a moment. Misty Elektra had just professed her love for her. Why the hell would a woman like this fall for Lemuria Heart was all she could think. The only thing she could think of was that this was some kind of trick to try and distract her, saying she loved her.
“You love me? Do you think I’m stupid… it’s pointless trying to create a gap in my defences with a trick like that! I’m a warrior! Also, I’m a woman!”
Her own lover is a woman, but Lemuria Heart says she’s a woman while acting like there is no one in her heart.
“Gender is meaningless. I’m in love with Lemuria Heart. Whatever barrier there is to our love, I’ll break it down… Nufufu, anway, if it’s just a matter of gender, we can just get remodelled to fix that. Would you like to grow a cock, or maybe you’d prefer having your pussy fucked?”
Lemuria Heart felt a twinge of pain in her heart. Having become Lemuria Heart, Tenshi Serina’s body had already been changed. Without realising it, Misty Elektra, by offering to have a cock grown on it had struck a nerve of Lemuria Heart’s.
“You pervert! I’ll punish you!”
Just thinking about having her body remodelled against her will, Lemuria Heart became angry. A huge wave of energy came from Lemuria Heart’s body and suffused her sword.
(I can’t forget! This is a duel, a one on one decisive battle. I’ll defeat Misty Elektra here!)
Instantly focusing on the battle, Lemuria Heart shook over the blow to her spirit. Despite only losing focus for a fraction of a second, as Lemuria Heart refocused, she saw that the very edges of Elektra’s mouth were lifting into a grin. In the next moment there was a silver flash as Lemuria Heart draw and made an attack with her sword.
“Huh!?”
“That strike was rather monotonous, but I really love you Lemuria Heart!”
Lemuria Heart follows the form of Elektra. It’s hard to see her form in the thick fog. However, the sound of her voice still gives away her location.
“Only being able to do melee attacks is bad isn’t it Lemuria Heart?”
The energy held in the sword is able to be launched like bullets and, hearing her taunt, Lemuria Heart fires one at the sound of Elektra’s voice in the fog.
“Gyaaaaaaah! …nya~~~~n!”
Hearing a voice suddenly come from the opposite side, Lemuria Heart is able to move her eyes but can’t react before a heavy blow hits her abdomen. Struck in the side, Lemuria Heart is blown away.
“Oh—–hohohoho! How do you like my new power? Since you cut off my left arm I improved it! Here, isn’t it cute, this snake arm!”
Elektra’s left arm has turned green from the shoulder down. Her skin is a shimmering smooth looking scaled texture and her voice is coming from a head at the tip of her arm. Like this, she’s using it to throw her voice while hiding in the fog.
“You idiot… how far are you going to destroy your body…”
“Being human is unneeded. You’d understand if you could experience this wonderful body. Now, Lemuria Heart, my love, my serious love, I really do love you. So, my huge enormous love, let me show it to you!”
The snake arm extends. At this point it is ten metres long. However, despite the blow to her stomach, Lemuria Heart hasn’t lost any of her combat ability.
“I’ll put you down now.”
“That’s impossible, after all, my obscene fragrance has already invaded your body.”
Lemuria Heart grew pale. Between a mixture of animalistic instinct and judgement, Lemuria Heart decided to leap away from her enemy.
“Nope, nope, you can’t get away!”
As she tried to take distance from Misty Elektra, her body became heavy in the air. The insides of her ears began to ring, her feet began to tremble and inside her abdomen a strange weight could be felt.
“No way, this for is your obscene fragrance…”
“Bingo♥ Doctor Onijima’s the best. I only asked him to reattach my arm, but he also remodelled my anus… he improved both the scope and range of my obscene fragrance, here, check it out♥”
Turning, the woman grabbed her butt cheeks and spread them to show off her bondage costume. There, a small cut has been made to reveal her anus so that her lewd farts can be released easier. This was the source of the heavy fog in the shopping district.
“Until now my obscene gas had some problems, in an open area it was immediately blown away by the wind and it didn’t work on people who didn’t smell it. However, now my obscene gas is amazing♥ Now all it needs to do is touch a person’s skin, it won’t just be blown away by a breeze, you don’t even have to smell it for it to work, nufufufu♥ Before people even notice, they’ve already fallen to depravity♥ It’s wonderful isn’t it♥”
“Guh…”
A peculiar smell that destroyed the reasoning ability of humans and turned them into obscene beasts, Lemuria Heart hadn’t thought that Misty Elektra’s strongest weapon could undergo such a transformation.
(I can’t run away… but… if I don’t my body is going to be effected, why can’t I move despite being Lemuria Heart! I need to get out of here while my reason still remains!?)
Lemuria Heart drops her sword, her weapon and, even if she can stand still, she can’t walk right now. Misty Elektra smiles and begins walking toward her.
“Oh—hohohohohoho! From now on the main show begins, Lemuria Heart-chan♥ I will be your Queen-sama♥”
“What, Queen, who…”
This time it was Misty Elektra’s turn to make a surprised face. Directly in her line of sight is the black tights that covers Lemuria Heart’s body. Staring at her crotch, Elektra is making a delighted face, entranced as if by a treasure.
