Chapter Seventy - An Exhibitionist and A Dominatrix

"Answer monster! What did you did to our sister!" the lightning woman continued, blue rays moved violently between her fingers and the room filled with the smell of burnt ozone.

"Wait a little, sister! Isn't he the one the leaders showed interest in?" the naked woman questioned. "He's the figure that has messed up our plans in this city! What a pleasure to find you here! His capture will earn us a lot of money!"

Locke looked at the two women with visible confusion, none of them seemed to mind the fact that the muscle one was on full display, he knew the cultists were a bunch of freaks but he didn't imagine they were exhibitionists too.

"I'm sorry, but I really need to know this before anything else, why in the f*cking hell are you naked?" he questioned again.

"Hmm? I'm not naked! Can't you see my gold chains and my jewelry?" The big one replied.

Locke continued to stare at the big one in confusion and turned to the other woman as if waiting for an answer.

"Her clothes always rips when she change her form, so she got used to being naked…" the masked woman replied, looking slightly embarrassed.

Locke nodded, fully understanding the sentiment, his transformation also ripped through his clothes, but he always wore at least a pair of 'adapted' pants to keep his decency to a minimum.

'Look, I don't want to destroy your morals, but one day you'll have to go the same way, for now you can still cover your stuff with those tailored clothes, but when you manage to become a full-fledged dragon, you'll fly around naked!' Tia commented through they mental link.

Locke shuddered slightly at the mental image but decided he would deal with it when the time was right, his thoughts calmed and he prepared for battle with the two women.

"Hey! Answer! What did you did with our sister?" The lightning woman questioned.

"Sister? You say the girl you've manipulated and brainwashed since childhood? What were you making die little by little by using the powers of an ancient parasite?" Locke questioned without hiding his contempt.

The muscular woman and the lightning woman smiled. "I hope you didn't kill our sister, or else the whole cult will release the hell against you! She was a unique tool specially prepared by our Grand Father, and she is quite important to our future plans!"

"No, I didn't kill her, I actually saved her, I even fixed the probelm with the parasite that was slowly eating her life..."

"You, what did you do?"

Locke smiled, exposing his sharp dragon teeth. "I took the parasite out of her and burned it!"

"YOU DID WHAT?" both women shouted together.

"Are you deaf? I burned it! If she was really that important to you guys, you shouldn't have left her walking around alone..."

"You damn f*cking monster! Do you have any idea what you did? Enought of conversation! You will pay for it! I WILL FILL YOU WITH PAIN!" The lightning woman screamed, she pointed both hands at Locke and released powerful blue lightning into his chest.

Locke didn't dodge, he let the lightning strike his chest and let out the most false scream of pain in the world, he bent over in an exaggerated way like he was in horrible pain and he moved backwards in exaggerated way, actually the energy ran all over his body without causing any harm, thanks to his special physique the energy was completely absorbed and he was recovering his mana, the woman's lightning was far from having the power of Rudra's lightning, so he kept that theater attempt to prevent her noticing and changed the attack, regardless of his horrible performance, both women fell for his trick.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Do you feel it? Are you feeling the pain? I'll fry you up!" The woman laughed and continued to electrocute Locke, keeping the current that hit him constant, she hoped to make him fall at any moment, she seemed to be feeling an absurd pleasure in that torture.

'Great, an exhibitionist and a dominatrix...' Tia joked. 'I hope you don't like these thingd...'

'Don't worry, It's not my kind of thing, I like the kindest things..." Locke replied.

'Says the guy who makes his girlfriend lose her senses every time they bang...' Tia spoke with a sarcastic tone.

'...I never complained' Hanna commented, also through the mental link.

The huge, naked woman beside the lightning witch crossed her arms in visible disappointment, she expected more from the figure that had caused them so much trouble, but once again it seemed that everything would be solved by her partner's magic.

The lightning witch continued to electrocute Locke mercilessly, but soon she realized that something was wrong, the amount of electricity she had emitted was powerful enough to take down a herd of elephants, the individual in front of her must have fallen long ago, she had already used up most of her mana and there was no sign that Locke was going to fall anytime soon, and now that she paid attention she could see that his screams of pain were strange and mechanical.

"There's... There's something wrong... Carmina! Get ready for battle!" The lightning woman screamed, she stopped the magic and dropped to her knees.

The muscular woman, Carmina, didn't question her friend's reasons, as soon as the lightning disappeared she ran towards Locke and hit him with a powerful punch, sending him flying.

Locke spun in midair and landed on his feet, it looked like the punch hadn't done him any harm, he straightened up and looked at the two women with an expression of disappointment. "What a shame... There was so little left to fill my mana..."

"You... Why aren't you hurt?" The lightning woman questioned, while her partner stood in front of her protecting her.

"Who knows?" Locke replied, he always felt that explaining skills to enemies was something that only happened in novels and cartoons.

"It doesn't matter, I'm going to take this clown down!" Carmina ran again to Locke trying to hit him again.

Locke dodged the punch easily with minimal movement needed, the woman had greater physical strength than the Orcs, but even so she was far from the current Locke, she didn't have the slightest technique or skill, her blows were just raw movements and easy to predict, it was clear that she had always depended on her explosive strength to fight.

After dodging a few times, Locke took the right moment to smack a punch into the woman's exposed stomach, throwing her as far as she had thrown him earlier, unlike Locke the woman didn't fall to her feet but hit the ground hard, she stood up unharmed and gritted her teeth in anger.

'The Exhibitionist is tough!' Tia commented.

Locke agreed with the fairy, his blow was strong enough to take down an Orc with ease, but the woman looked unharmed, Locke also felt that the woman's skin had a texture similar to metal.

The woman shrieked angrily and ran towards Locke again, delivering a series of punches in succession, Locke moved his hands as fast as hers, deflecting each punch with tremendous ease, each punch thrown at him was deflected with a single touch and when Locke felt the time was right he jumped up and landed a powerful spinning kick to the woman's face, sending her flying again across the room.

Carmina stood up again, her face twisted in endless fury, she had never faced an enemy she couldn't suppress using her inhuman strength, she felt humiliated by the way she was being suppressed, it also irritated her that she felt that Locke was just playing with her, she could feel that he hadn't launched a single serious attack since the start of the battle, her friend made her move right then.

During all the time Locke and Carmina were fighting, the second woman was concentrating on a new spell, creating a blue energy sphere in her hands, as soon as she saw that her friend was no longer in the way she cast the spell, the blue sphere exploded in a gale of ice, scattering powerful icy air and enclosing everything in its path in a layer of ice.

The ice grew over Locke's body at incredible speed, he tried to move but the ice was too fast and soon he was completely covered and trapped in an icy coffin, the woman started to smile.

"I caught him!" She screamed.

That's when the ice exploded, black flames spread through the room and Locke came out of the ice easily, the powerful flames created an intense heat wave through the room, forcing the two women to protect themselves, but just as the fire came it was gone, and once again Locke was there unharmed.

"Damn it! Guerda! Buff me!" Carmina screamed.

The witch, Guerda, cast a new spell, she cast it on her mate while Locke watched the entire process without interfering. Carmina screamed as her friend's magic ran through her body, blue marks appeared on her skin and her eyes lit up like headlights, her fists were covered in an intense blue light and she seemed to grow even bigger, with a bestial roar she ran towards to Locke, her speed had tripled and her strength was also higher, unfortunately for her, her friend had chosen poorly.

The Golden Woman's Fist was thrown at Locke, as soon as he blocked the attack he could feel the changes in it, but he also noticed that now her fists were covered in electricity, he sighed, the woman threw punches and punches at him and he adapted to her new strength and speed, she thought she was at least causing some damage due to the electricity.

Gerda was the first to notice that something was wrong, again Locke didn't seem the least bit affected by the lightning, in fact she could vaguely feel that with each attack he blocked the already huge amount of mana he had increased, at last, a bell touched her head and she understood.

"Sh*t! Carmina, stop attacking! It's the electricity! He's absorbing the electricity!"

Carmina heard her friend's warning and widened her eyes in surprise, Locke grinned shamelessly and threw a powerful punch to the woman's face, sending her flying again.

"Damn it, it took you a long time to figure it out…" Locke commented jovially.

Gerda was worried, electric spells constituted half of her entire arsenal, without it she would be very limited, the only thing left were the ice and wind spells, it was also worrying the fact that she used a large part of her magic to enchant her mate with her best support spell, a spell that would last a while and was now useless.

"So, I believe you have run out of options, let's get this over with..."

Locke took an attack position for the first time in that battle, he vanished from his place and appeared right in front of Gerda, before she could have any reaction he threw a powerful punch right in her stomach, just as the fist made contact, a silver light enveloped Gerda's entire body, as if to shield her from the attack, but the light didn't last long before Locke heard a cracking noise and his fist sank easily into the woman's stomach.

Gerda was thrown upward, hitting the roof hard, before falling back to the ground, unconscious.

"GERDA!" Carmina screamed, she was ready to run towards her friend when Locke appeared in front of her, the woman didn't even try to protect herself, she was ready to exchange blows with Locke while relying on her defense, but this proved to be a mistake.

Locke's fist slammed into the woman's metallic skin without causing any apparent damage and the woman wasn't thrown away like the other times, but inside a shock wave ripped through her body as shook all of her organs.

For the first time in a long time, Carmina felt pain, a lot of pain.

She bent over and released blood from her golden lips as she held her aching stomach, her expression was a mixture of pain and perplexity and she couldn't understand what was happening.

What Locke used was a technique he hadn't fully mastered, a martial art focused on dealing internal damage to enemies, it was called the Dragon's Palm and it was the most difficult technique he had ever tried to learn, even with days of training he could barely execute ten percent of this power, luckily, Locke was very strong and ten percent of his total power was enough.

Locke took advantage of the woman's bent body to hit her head with another dragon palm, knocking the woman down instantly. As she fell, her body began to slowly shrink, and soon she had turned into a thin, short girl, Locke felt a little bad about leaving her naked on the floor, so he pulled a sheet out of the inventory and wrapped it around her body, he placed the two unconscious women next to each other.

Locke looked at both of them and prepared himself for the next step, it was time to snoop around a little.
