Fight, dragon slayer.

"I'm sorry. Kyle. My magic will be a bit weaker without my wand," Eva says.

Amara, having stepped back now, nods. "I am the same. Without my focus, my spells will not have the same impact, and will cause me to expend more mana. However, I believe that matters not, Eva. We have come so far, and have become stronger. Stand tall, ready yourself, and try to ignore your lack of undergarments."

"I--Why did you say that last part?! I was with you until that," the bunny whines as she's suddenly made aware of her situation yet again.

"Stay close to me." Amara backs up until she's adjacent to Eva. "We do not have a lot of room to fight in here, and both Niki and Lord Vraelion are quite destructive." Meanwhile, she looks to you as she brings her hand out.

You step over and place your hand on hers.

With a deep breath, she speaks the word, "Bless," to bestow a mighty boon upon you as well. You can see the flow of her mana shudder through her body as pink starts forming over the bridge of her nose, but she tries her best to remain cool-headed despite the tingling heat. "D-Do you need any healing before you fight?"

"No, I'm--Huh?" you look down as you accidentally almost slip on a blouse laying on the floor. "Is that Jelly's?"

"Pay attention!" the ALICE snaps before stabbing the tip of her blade towards you.

Unfortunately, if you dodge, it could potentially strike either Eva or Amara, so instead you decide to meet her bladework with your own. Niki may be the most physically strong, but you're quick on your feet as well as with your hands. With ease, you knock her blade to the side and strike forward with a counter attack, though she's no rookie herself. She leap back and immediately falls back into her readied stance.

"Flame Blade," you mutter as you slide the flat of your palm down the pink-shining blade of Lauo. You already feel it bolstered by the strength of your allies, though it seems to glow brighter in proximity to either Eva or Amara... or both. Fire trails behind your sword as you swing it through the hair in almost a dance, moving towards the ALICE as she can only step backwards.

"Kyle, lookout!" Niki calls from the side.

Lord Vraelion, having disengaged briefly from Niki, moves to strike at you. It forces you to dodge backwards, but that may have been part of the plan. The ALICE lunges in and graces your arm with her blade, drawing a small stream of blood, though all things considered, that pain is nothing. You easily recover, though suddenly feel a warm hand against your back.

"Huh?" You look back to see Amara. "Hey. I don't need healing yet."

"Major Heal!" Amara shouts, using far too much mana to immediately close your wound and alleviate any little pain you were feeling. "Ah~!" She gasps, covering her mouth as she tries to hide an embarrassing noise. She looks to you with innocent eyes.

"Cover Eva! I'm fine," you say before blocking another strike from the ALICE.

The moment you spot an opening, you unleash a flurry of fiery blows. Heat scorches past her, singing her dress as all she can do is block and dodge backwards, though the wall is approaching, as well as a few frightened nobles without any clear path to escape. "Gotcha," you say before you lunge the point straight forwards.

She dodges back one more time, but there's a splatter, as if she had just landed in a puddle of water. She looks down, perhaps even expecting blood given the circumstance, but instead it's something pale purple, and before she can react, it starts climbing up her body. The slime crawls up her legs, both outside and beneath her dress. Her eyes widen as she feels quite the intrusive sensation below, and to your surprise, cyan glow fills her cheeks as she becomes quite frantically embarrassed. Tendrils of purple goo wiggle up between her bust, grab her arms, and eventually **** her to drop her rapier in panic.

You then hear a voice. It's Jelly. "Mmmm, clothes~!" she shouts.

Just then, the dress begins to dissolve. The ALICE stumbles away, though her opponent is no longer in front of her. It's all around her. She tries to get away, but as she runs, her outfit continues to melt off her body. All she can do is stumble awkwardly up the stairs, to Lord Vraelion's dismay. A moment later, the same slime drips back down, forming an adorable blob near your feet.

It rises back up, though Jelly now stands completely nude once more. She places her hands on her hips and smiles proudly, though you can't help but notice her bouncy bust boasting small but prominent nipples practically staring straight up at you, and between her legs is the shape of a pussy, all difficult to see with her entire body being the same shade of translucent pale purple. After a moment, she wraps her hands around her naked body, pushing her bust together as she stands awkwardly, though this specifically fails to cover any actual part that needs to be covered. "... You're not supposed to stare," she says. Then she starts giggling. After bringing her hands back down, she purposely lifts herself up on her heels and brings herself back down to jiggle her body over and over. "You're so funny, Kyle! Anyway, did I do good?"

"Enough!" Lord Vraelion's voice shakes the walls. Now he stands with his warhammer grasped in a single hand. In his other is the control rod. He stares with a humiliated, burning fury, first at you, but then at his own daughter. "If you don't all cease this moment, Malakae will be swiftly punished! That's what you came here for, is it not? To supposedly free her from a prison you've created in your own minds."

"You can't say it's made-up while threatening to kill your own kid," you say.

"What I do with my own possessions is my own business. I've lived for centuries, Demon King. Do you think this is my first brood? It won't even be my last."

"... What?" Malakae mutters under her breath.

"There's nothing you can do. The second I activate this rod, a powerful enough explosion of lightning to slay a dragon will erupt from within Malakae. Is that what you want?"

You feel a tug on your sleeve. It's Eva, and she's standing directly behind you. "I want to try something, but I'm scared," she whispers. "And someone needs to distract him."
