Peak Mountain

The two sat down on a rock that overlooked the vast mountain range.

"What did we get then?"

Ireya took out each fruit one by one, by the time she was finished they had a giant pile of fruits lying down in front of them. She counted them and found a total of 57 Apples, 63 Peaches, and 30 bananas.

Raya analyzed, "It's enough to last us for 2 months or so."

Ireya took out the last Energy Pill she had and refined it, each time she used a move her energy would be used up. The fourth move used up too much energy so even after using one Energy Pill she still hadn't recovered, she picked up one of the peaches and bit into it.

The water burst in her mouth alongside an explosion of energy, instead of leaking out the energy turned into a snake and slithered into the Energy Granules and recovered them.

Ireya nodded in satisfaction, "It tastes good and it recovers a lot of my Energy Granules."

"Shall we go then?", Raya plucked Ireya off of the ground and forced her to stand.

Pouting Ireya said, "You treat me like a child sometimes."

"You are."

"..."

"Let's go then!"

---

And like that another 6 months passed by, there were a few times where Ireya was close to dying and had to be saved by Raya. Other than that the journey remained calm.

After climbing past many hills and small mountains they finally reached one of the 8 Peak Mountains of Hades Ring. Each mountain stood towering into the clouds, mist covering each one like an elegant woman covering herself with a thin sheet.

They entered the mist just as day turned into night, the night was eerily quiet near the peak of this mountain. The path towards the top of the Peak Mountain was suspiciously empty of beasts.

Suddenly Raya put her hand out to stop Ireya, "Shh..."

After a few minutes, Raya finally put her hand down, Ireya asked, "What's wrong Raya?"

"Nothing, I just felt like something was watching us. Must be my imagination.", shaking her head Raya continued walking.

But Ireya quickly held her back, "Hold on."

Raya gave her a puzzled look.

"I doubt that your senses were wrong, this path has been eerily quiet recently."

Embarrassed at her own mistake Raya smacked herself internally, "You're right, now the question is what's watching us..."

Ireya moved towards Raya's back and faced the opposite direction, Raya didn't need any hints this time, she slowly moved in circles mirroring Ireya's action.

Swoosh!

The leaves on top of them rustled as a strong wind passed by, the forest went quiet again.

Bam!

2 silhouettes suddenly began running in circles around them, the two were quite fast.

"First Move: One Sword!", twenty sword shadows broke out towards the 2 silhouettes disrupting their movement. They stopped momentarily to reveal two tiny rabbits with sharp blue fangs and green eyes, the rabbits sped up once again after stopping the attack.

"Equator Rabbits!", Raya squinted at the sight of them, these creatures may not be powerful but they were fast, extremely fast.

Slash!

Blood spurted as one of them cut straight through Ireya's cheek, "Shit!"

"We have to break through them quickly before they make us bleed to death, Raya do it!"

Her fist suddenly grew dark and pulsated with horrible Energy, "Burst!", with a loud bang a wave of energy flew out in the direction of the two rabbits.

Clang!

The rabbits suddenly merged into one and jumped straight upwards avoiding the attack.

"First Move: One Sword!", her sword shadows flew towards the rabbits, pushing them further and further into the air as they fought back against the move.

This gave Raya just enough time to prepare her move, her sword sprang out with violent energy waves crashing towards the rabbits in the air splitting both of them into halves.

The bodies then fell with a loud thud.

"Few... That was annoying.", Ireya complained as she wiped the blood off of her cheek.

"You still suck at dodging, because of that... More training!"

"I hate you."

Raya simply smiled in satisfaction.

---

After the fight, they continued onwards to the top of one of the 8 Peak Mountains.

Once they arrived at the very peak of it they found nothing but a beautiful view of the world, the wind blew across their face as they watched the sunrise on the other end of the world.

"Hey, Raya."

"Yeah?"

"Do you think we could ever go to the sun?"

"Maybe."

They remained silent for the rest of the sunrise, the gentle sun rays caressing their bodies. At this moment the two looked like fairies that had descended from the heavens, one a voluptuous succubus and the other a gentle angel.

From this view, they could see the vast world, they could barely make out a vast plain behind the Peak Mountains on the other side. Once they looked closely enough they were able to make out a giant city standing in the distance like a sleeping dragon from ancient times.

"That's where we're going right?!", Ireya jumped into Raya's chest jumping up and down like an excited monkey, her hands melted into Raya's breasts.

"Oy stop touching!", Raya quickly pushed her away covering her breasts.

"Hehe!", Ireya looked quite cheeky at this moment, her smile illuminating the mountains even further.

"But yeah, that's where we're going."

"Let's go then!", Ireya grabbed onto Raya's hand and pulled her along.

---

A long 3 years later they finally reached the end of the Hades Ring, they passed many obstacles and dangerous ravines and beasts. Some beasts that they had passed were powerful enough to kill with just their breath and so they snuck past them every time they came across anything too dangerous.

Ireya sat cross-legged on a jagged rock with Raya guarding her.

The number of Energy Granules awakened had now reached 950 million, she would reach the Ablution Realm very soon. When she opened her eyes back up the sky brightened up and a myriad of stars seemed to swim within them.

"How close are you to reaching the Ablution Realm?"

"Very close.", Raya was now at her prime and could probably topple cities with her beauty. The most dangerous one of the two was Ireya, her looks were immaculate. She was only 16 and even so you probably couldn't find anyone more perfect than her out there, the only flaw perhaps was her personality.

She hadn't gone through puberty yet, well she had, but she hadn't at the same time. Her breasts had grown out by a lot and her body grew dramatically but she still hadn't gone through her period yet. It was quite strange, Raya had to endure many difficulties during their journey's whereas Ireya got away scot-free.

"Wait Ireya look at me.", Raya began speaking quite seriously.

"Hmm?", Ireya listened to her.

"What the...", Raya's eye grew in shock, she had seen many disgusting scenes of beasts eating each other along the way but even then she wasn't as shocked as he was now.

Ireya's previously black hair... Was slowly turning pink!

"Your hair is turning pink!"

"Stop messing with me Raya..."

"No seriously, look.", she pulled out a mirror to show Ireya her reflection.

And just like she said, her hair was turning pink. But only the very tips of her hair had turned pink, the rest was perfectly dark.

"You're so strange, first you don't go through your periods, and now your hair is turning pink..."

"It's nothing to worry about is it?"

"Not necessarily..."

"Then it's fine! Let's continue.", listening to Ireya's carefree attitude she knew that it didn't matter.

Raya watched as Ireya stood back up and walked into the distance, she only had one thought in her mind at this moment, 'Ireya is too dangerous if she walked like that in front of men. If that happened then they would flock like goddamn flies!'

There was a very good reason as to why she thought like this, Ireya would swerve her hips seductively every time she moved. Even she was having second thoughts about her sexuality as she watched this...

From then on Ireya would get spanked every time she walked in her normal walking style, the scene was quite pitiful.

---

"Ouch!"

"Fix up!", Raya stared at Ireya's hips as she walked, every time she served those hips...

Smack!

She would smack her behind with a stick.

"It hurts...", Ireya rubbed her buttocks as she continued walking, it felt quite awkward for her to walk in this way but she would do anything to not suffer from the stick.

In her mind, the originally friendly Raya had suddenly turned into a beautiful but dangerous witch, well she certainly was beautiful though.

"Any progress towards Ablution?"

"Mhm, I should be done in another few days."

"Good, we'll be leaving this forest in a few days too."

Three days later Ireya sat in the shadows of a tree, her mind fully focused on controlling the last few Energy Granules.

A few moments later, bang!

The last Energy Granule was finally within her grasp, all billion of her Energy Granules began resonating within her body, they slowly dissolved into a sort of mist.

Using the Ten Sovereign Swords Manual she knew that the first Sovereign Sword step was to turn this mist into a sword, then she had to grind this sword into her flesh and bone. The easiest part of Ablution was purifying your arms and legs, the most dangerous and difficult were the heart and brain.

With a single thought, the mist within her condensed into a perfectly white sword and pierced into her right hand.

"Ahhh!!!!!", the pain was intense but she continued with her efforts.

After an excruciatingly long minute her right hand was perfectly purified, the bone within was rid of all toxins and was much tougher than before. If she punched a tree with her right hand before reaching Ablution the most she could have done was create a small dent but now she could pierce through the tree like a sword with only her hand.

1% of Ablution done!
