Chapter 225: Silver Patterns
With each entry and withdrawal of the dragon, the crimson, tender flesh within Akeno's valley rhythmically folded and unfolded in sync with the dragon's movements.
Spring nectar flowed freely, soaking a large portion of the magic array down her snow-white buttocks.
As Haruto thrust in and out with force, he rotated his hips, causing the dragon to grind repeatedly against the delicate flesh within the valley.
Akeno was overwhelmed by the sensations—tingling, numbness, soreness, and itchiness—as the dragon twisted, ground, and rammed inside her. A myriad of indescribable feelings washed over her.
The fiery, thick dragon moved with increasing speed and intensity within the contracting and expanding blossom, driving the young girl to pant like a nightingale, her eyes hazy with desire. Wave after wave of climax surged toward her heart.
The overwhelming pleasure caused Akeno to convulse and spasm. Her soft, tender palace tightly clenched and suckled the dragon, bringing Haruto immense satisfaction.
He held the girl tightly, his chest pressing against her firm, bamboo-like peaks, feeling their perfect blend of softness and resilience, and their silky smoothness.
The dragon, buried in the warm, tight valley, brought him boundless delight. Consumed by desire, Haruto intensified his movements, thrusting deeply and forcefully, each stroke penetrating to the core. Akeno's blossom trembled wildly, opening and closing as it lavished attention on the dragon.
The black-haired, ponytailed beauty, with her ample bosom, was lost in ecstasy—her eyes half-closed, her delicate face flushed, and her skin glistening with sweat. Her arms and legs wrapped around Haruto's waist like an octopus, clinging tightly.
She pressed desperately against his hips while arching her own, ensuring her delicate valley remained flush against the dragon, leaving no gap between them.
Akeno felt as though Haruto were a red-hot rod, filling her to the depths of her soul. The sensation was so profound it felt like her very spirit was sinking into bliss.
She forgot all shame and restraint, moaning wantonly.
Haruto poured all his strength into his movements, assaulting her fiercely. The fiery dragon struck her core repeatedly, its head breaching the sacred palace and pressing against its delicate, sensitive walls each time.
Akeno wrapped her limbs even tighter around him, her full, rounded hips rising to meet his relentless thrusts.
The black-haired, ponytailed beauty's eyes grew hazy with pleasure, teetering on the edge of ecstasy. Once again, spring nectar gushed forth uncontrollably.
"Ah… faster, please… faster…?…"
Akeno shook her head wildly, her neatly tied ponytail coming undone. Her cascading hair danced enchantingly in the moonlight.
After a moment of intense rigidity, her body suddenly went limp as if drained, and a powerful climax washed over her, carrying her body and soul to a heavenly realm high above the clouds.
After ravaging the wondrous peach blossom grotto for a long time, Haruto did not hold back. Tightening his grip on Akeno's slender waist, he continued his thrusts.
Amid Akeno's constant spasms and contractions, and the suction of her soft, tender palace, he felt himself nearing release after several dozen strokes, a tingling sensation spreading from the base of his spine.
"Roar—!"
With a loud groan, Haruto quickened his pace, thrusting rapidly a few more times inside Akeno's exquisite passage. The swollen, aching dragon head erupted like a volcano, finally releasing thick, scalding, milky-white essence.
"Mmm… Haruto…?…"
Pink hearts shimmered in her dark red, beautiful eyes. Akeno clung to Haruto's head, her sensual lips seeking his in a passionate kiss.
As Haruto took the girl's slick little tongue into his mouth, the magic circle of the contract ritual dissolved into specks of light that merged into both their bodies.
An identical heart-shaped collar to Rias' appeared around Akeno's slender, snow-white neck, followed by a glow emerging from her smooth, flat abdomen.
An ornate emblem, different from Rias' but similarly centered around a heart motif, gradually materialized.
The moment the emblem fully took shape, Haruto and Akeno's contract was perfectly established.
Simultaneously, a deep blue collar emblem with chains as its main motif appeared on Haruto's neck.
Overall, it shared a similar style to the emblems on Rias and Akeno's lower abdomens—ornate, bewitching, and intricate.
The emblems on Rias and Akeno's lower abdomens, along with the chain emblem on Haruto's neck, were special marks formed after the mutation.
The position of his chain emblem couldn't be changed, as it was originally designed as a heart-shaped collar before the contract.
However, the placement of the emblems on the girls was actively chosen by Haruto.
When he completed the contract with Rias, he naturally understood the general appearance of the contract mark and instinctively thought of the so-called "silver pattern."
Haruto didn't know if the succubi in this world had invented anything similar, but he instinctively chose the lower abdomen as the location...
By the time he realized it and wanted to change it to the lower back, chest, or arm, it was already too late.
Moreover, the opportunity to choose the position was only available once—the initial successful signing solidified the mutated contract permanently.
Thus, Akeno's contract mark, as well as future contract marks, would appear on the girls' smooth, flat lower abdomens.
This mark, much like the heart-shaped collar, held no special significance beyond being a symbol.
The heart-shaped collar would change color as Haruto's bond with the girls deepened, while the "silver pattern" primarily served to prove the girls' contract with Haruto and, perhaps, only increased attack speed.
Fortunately, all emblem marks followed a universal rule—they wouldn't appear unless activated by magic.
Similarly, due to each girl's unique magical nature, the glow emitted by the emblem when magic was active varied.
Therefore, there was no need to worry about the mark being seen during contract reporting, leading to suspicions about its effects.
On the contrary, if Haruto actively revealed the chain emblem on his neck, it would likely be mistaken as a sign that he was a shackled servant.
In reality, the opposite was true—he was the one holding the initiative. With each completed contract, the chains grew more intricate and magnificent.
Upon close inspection, one could even find patterns corresponding to the "silver patterns" of Rias and Akeno.
It was as if he held a series of chains in his hand, with the other end firmly binding each contracted girl.
Of course, this was merely a metaphor.
Although the girls had to be absolutely loyal and obedient, Haruto also had to give his all without reservation.
Otherwise, if the contracted girls were to commit suicide one after another, the backlash from the contracts alone would annihilate his soul.
Terms like master-servant or any other labels were insufficient to describe the relationship between Haruto and the contracted girls.
Perhaps only the skill name on the interface—[Soulmate]—could convey a fraction of its meaning.
...
Next door, under the influence of the resonance, all the girls except Rias, who had already signed a contract, had flushed faces and occasionally squirmed or clenched their thighs.
Especially when they heard the intermittent moans from Akeno, it became even harder to suppress the reactions stirring within their bodies.
On their still-damp panties, patches of moisture slowly expanded.
Yet Haruto, who had just completed the contract with Akeno, couldn't satisfy them all at once.
Since the contract ceremony had to be conducted one by one, if it were possible to complete all contracts at once, he would have shamelessly aimed for a grand group sleeping arrangement...
With the Rating Game approaching, any improvement in strength was welcome, especially since the post-mutation contracts provided substantial power boosts.
Haruto was well aware of his own essence capacity.
Given sufficient time and with the support of his dual cultivation ability, he could easily fill everyone's flower palaces to the brim.
But the full moon occurred only once a month, and it was already nearly ten o'clock. Once midnight passed, no more contracts could be signed.
From moonrise until the end of the day, there were only six hours at most.
Had he known this would happen from the beginning, he might have completed all contracts, but it was too late for regrets now.
The remaining people would have to wait until next month, by which time the Rating Game would have long concluded.
With the contract successfully established, Akeno gradually regained her senses from the climax.
She held Haruto for a while, enjoying the warmth, then proactively pushed him away and headed toward the bathroom.
"Haruto, Yuuma is next. You should prepare the magic circle first."
She waved her hand to destroy the torn fabric on the floor while using her newly acquired ability from the contract to communicate with Rias, asking Yuuma to come and establish the contract.
After forming the soulmate contract, not only could everyone sense each other's locations, but a soul network was also created.
Even if one was in the Underworld and another in the human world, they could communicate without any delay.
They could choose to send private or group messages, and of course, they could actively block communications.
Without the consent of the individual, others in the soul network could not pry into their thoughts.
This ability was an additional effect of the post-mutation contract.
It was not only more convenient than Issei Hyoudou's original method of communication through breasts but also more effective and discreet.
Unless someone's power far exceeded Haruto's, they would never detect this communication method, let alone eavesdrop or block it.
Just as Haruto finished drawing half of the magic circle, Yuuma arrived by his side, dressed lightly for the occasion.
To expedite the contract process, she had deliberately transformed into the image of a pure high school girl, her long, straight legs adorned with a fresh pair of ultra-thin black stockings.
Even though the contract ceremony hadn't begun yet, Haruto couldn't help but show signs of excitement.
