Chapter 270 - Interlude 5: FBI OPEN UP!

Issei was currently at a large facility that can fit even an entire mountain standing at a platform that studies any abnormality and relies on any error and information that is gathered from the experiment. He had already researched and made a back plan if things were to go south. Jarvis didn't join the experiment since Rory requested it and Issei didn't mind only wondering what she was planning.

He was having a hard time understanding the depth of emotion and feelings since his more intellect than emotion since that is Yaldabaoth expertise. Regardless, he put it aside for now and manipulated the energy of a soul separating himself from Rory yet still retained her abilities where only her being is separated while the boosted gear remains his.

The sacred gear have it uses and tinkering having upgraded into transforming into whichever tool he had design where it will appear like ring then into an X gloves and can switch to the advance version of boosted gear called Absolute Boosted Gear where it capable of boosting something permanently and it primarily dependent on Issei will if he wish to remove the upgrade or how far it goes. 

Obviously it is not an instant upgrade but this only because once it reaches the level cap within the world then it will slow down due to the world will as it cannot bear more than what it can contain. It can boost and upgrade something to its utmost limits be it Physical, Magical, Metaphysical, Conceptual, Etc. They can decide which part to upgrade and even add an upgrade that should be impossible. 

His entire left arm was enveloped with draconic energy as the newly upgraded Boosted Gear appeared that had more protrusion and green part that radiate vast energy as Issei began to manipulate the energy and sense something within him where he took it rearrange some stuff and severed it from his body akin to rewriting a computer program and precisely changing the variable that result in the intended output. 

Issei views the world like the Matrix where he hack into its foundation and manipulate the very fundamental law it has. Meanwhile, Rory felt something was cut off and tried to sense Issei only to find that she was now outside of his soul and the sacred gear system before it attached itself into Issei's own sacred system feeling a sudden click. Issei saw Rory's soul that was more vast than a regular woman that started to form and gradually formed into a massive western dragon that had a red scale that had mechanical aesthetic where it's size was around 3 to 5 story buildings. 

He was not intimidated and felt the connection immediately recognizing that it was none other than Rory in her dragon form and Issei never saw a dragon before that he was captivated by the dominating aura and power she had in her form. He prefers lions since he is not one who believes in superstition but now his common sense is broken and see how truly beautiful a dragon can be. Their link together was not just memory and conversation but their emotion as well and Rory appreciated how he was appreciating her mighty form but a bit envious that he likes lions over dragons. 

Rory then began to use her magic, shrinking down surprising Issei a bit and analyzing and gathering more data for future researchers and before long she appeared in beautiful young woman form that gave off a rough exterior like delinquent. She had wild long red hair that reached her rear while her body was perfectly shaped and had a rather gifted size breast. Her smooth creamy white skin is akin to marble carved by the gods. She had a dominating aura yet for Issei it was tame and ready to submit at any moment.

Issei was biologically only 5 years old but mentally he is over past 30 while his intellect far surpasses those of his age. Weirdly enough, he was aware of it and hadn't reached puberty yet he was feeling strange turning to the side and said. 

"I know I look like a kid but couldn't you create clothes when you transform?" Rory just giggled, finding it entertaining that someone would react that way and wonder if it's because his body was a child or he was just a gentleman. The latter is the most probable. She began walking toward him and said.

"Thank you for freeing me and I don't mind you looking at me since you are My partner." Issei didn't budge and refused to look at her body until she had new clothes, only peeking to check if she had clothes but still remained naked and said.

"Wait wait, why are you getting closer!? Fine, I'll make clot-" before he could finish his sentence was held his face to face her bending down to reach him as he was still at the body for 5 year or that more or less had the body for 10 year old and took his lips kissing him without any hesitation surprising Issei and wanted to push her but didn't want to make her angry and weirdly enjoy the taste of her lips. 

It's been a long time since he had experienced something like this and felt her tongue twirl inside his mouth where her emotion was pouring into his heart that made him restless and when their lips departed leaving a trail behind. The two stared at each other where Rory saw his fiery golden eyes while Issei saw the same thing. Rory then lean into his next biting into that not too deep but enough to draw blood surprising Issei and felt magical energy to churn on his shoulder and a mark was left that look like heart shape with a dragon motif.

Issei was extremely confused and understood her intention that only made it even more bewildering while Rory giggled seeing his dumbstruck expression and said.

"You're wondering why? Well I know you'll have more women. I don't want to lose a potential mate." He was speechless since this isn't what he intended to do and logically thinking it is too soon for her to act this way and said.

"We've only spent a month!? You barely know anything about me and barely know anything about you." Rory shook her head and said.

"I know everything about you and can feel how you feel about me. As a dragon, we often try our best to find the strongest and most suited person to be our mate and you happen to fit the list." Issei shook his head and understood where she was coming from but this is certainly too fast and said. 

"Then doesn't that mean if there is someone stronger than me you'll take them?" Rory shook her head and said.

"If that were the case then I would have taken one of the top strongest in the world but No, dragon isn't that single minded. Perhaps there is something stronger than you but I've decided in the past month that you'll be my eternal mate and even use my Eternal Mate mark." 

Issei was a bit surprised and heard explain that the marker is connected, linked, and bonded with their Eternal mates, with whom one has a feeling of deep or natural affinity all of which involves similarity, love, romance, platonic relationships, comfort, intimacy, sexuality, sexual activity, spirituality, compatibility and trust.

They know who their Eternal mate/s is/are, can empathize and harmonize with said Eternal mate/s, lack any struggle in expressing their feelings for them, and share many, if not some characteristics in common with them.

The marker and their Eternal mate/s, by nature, are compassionate, caring, loving, and sympathetic toward one another, would get along quite well with each other, naturally share romantic and/or platonic feelings of love for one another, and are meant for each other as a couple, bestest of friends, and love the other with all their heart, all their soul, all their mind, and all their strength. In addition, the female mate marks their mate will die if their mate dies but not won't do the same the other way around. 

This is how much Rory shows her adoration and affection to Issei. She also has no way of removing it only by killing her would it be possible which only proves that Rory has no intention of betraying him. Issei was speechless once again and received another kiss from her but this time she was more aggressive and said.

"I don't care if you have a child body, I'll make sure my body, mind and soul is completely yours."
