Chapter 345: A Battle More Important Than War (**)

—

Neji was glad nothing serious happened in the end. For all he knew, somebody could have died. 

In this world, his Jōgan’s sub-eye power, Tenseigan’s exclusive ability, the [Empyrean Rebirth] wasn't as useful as back in Naruto. That was thanks to many factors. 

One of those factors was that the big shots here could soul-kill a person if they wished, so there was no chance for them to revive them anyway.

Another factor, which was true in this particular case, was Neji couldn't revive servants. When a servant is eliminated, they simply turn into particles of light and cease to exist. 

A power like Tenseigan couldn't help in that case.

 Most of Neji's new companions were servants. Their death would be the last of their existence, and if Neji had the luck to meet them the next time, they would be another person entirely. Just a "copy" of the original servant who will not have any recollection of Neji.

That was a sad truth about this reality.

For that reason, Neji was greatly fascinated by Quetzalcoatl's revelation that she could fully descend into this world with his help. Sadly, that wasn't true for the others, so really, Neji had to be careful.

"Haaah."

 A long breath of relief escaped his lips.

Sitting half submerged in the hot water of this bath, Neji felt relieved.

This was located in a top chamber inside the Pyramid Temple. Two of the walls were non-existent in this room, and that showed the beautiful night city of New Egypt outside. The twinkling sky was visible from here too–and overall, Neji was happy he didn't turn down the offer.

He was also jealous that he didn't have this facility in his own castle.

"Are you enjoying yourself?"

He was alone in the bath, but it seemed somebody had the urge to change that fact. Gently turning his neck back, he found Ozymandias walking through the curtained door while wearing a smile.

All of her previous signs of injury had vanished. Her body was wrapped in a white towel, and it was ironically less revealing compared to her earlier dress.

Neji couldn't take his eyes away from her. She looked fantastic, like a piece of the sun that had fallen to the face of the earth.

Even the room was enchantingly lit by the stars and moons that reflected on the water, creating harmony within the room that could leave anyone dazed. Yet, she stood out like something otherworldly. 

Her rich dark skin was candy to the eye and her golden eyes were just equally appetizing.

For a moment, Neji wondered just why he found her so attractive. Was it due to just how 'opposite' her features were compared to him? For his fair skin, she was dark. For his blue eyes, she had golden, which was the opposite of blue in the color spectrum. Lastly, it was the obvious one where he was a man and she was a woman.

Perhaps Rumi was right that he liked people with similar features. In a way, wasn't having his entire opposite appearance, kinda the same thing? He could eat her out right now.

"What are you thinking?"

By the time his internal monologue had finished, the woman had reached him. She gently lowered herself into the hot spring and walked before him. As if to captivate him more, she unwrapped her towel slowly before him.

She was a proud woman; she clearly wasn't ashamed of her body. Why would she not be? As her towel unrevealed, her dark pink nipples came out, and her womanhood entered his vision, anyone would be captivated by the sight.

Neji reckoned how, for some reason, he didn't have many dark-skinned girls in his huge 'collection'. Should he change that today?

'Must I?'

As Ozymandias lazily threw the towel to the dry land, she smiled down at the sitting Neji. Not hesitating a bit, she slowly climbed down onto him.

Ozymandias gently sat down on his lap, pushing his rock-hard cock between her and his lower abdomen in the process.

"So,"

She wrapped her arms around his neck and tilted her head to the side.

"Have you thought about my earlier proposition yet?"

Neji suddenly held back his urge to push her down and fuck her brains out. This was a crazy woman, a little weird in the head. It was natural given the era and environment she grew up in, but that didn't change the fact. He needed to proceed a little cautiously with her.

"Aha… By the way, where are my two cute Goddesses?"

Neji gave her an awkward smile and asked, fighting off his urge to grab her waist. Though he lost to the urge in the end.

"They're in a separate facility of baths. They thought female and male baths are different, so they aren't complaining that you aren't with them. Though it's simply that the baths for Kings and normal guests' baths are different. Even if they are Gods, you and I are different from them. So we are here together."

At Ozymandias' explanation, Neji had to clear his throat.

'She has no idea about Quetzalcoatl, does she? As the Chief God of the Aztecs, she is technically the King of that pantheon. King of Gods, even, the title that Ozy self-proclaims herself to have… But oh well, I guess it's better if the three of them aren't together here.'

Thinking again, Quetzalcoatl was a real big shot. Should he take on her offer to fully descend here? He didn't like how it would take a few weeks of continuous sex, though. 

"That makes sense."

Neji's hands stiffly held her waist and fought his will to not proceed further.

Unfortunately, Ozymandias noticed his awkwardness.

"Hm? Why are you hesitant? I will not ask you to bear your children if you're scared of letting loose once. That proposition and this situation are not connected; I am here of my own accord; I wouldn’t sit naked on your lap if my intention was not to mate tonight. I am extremely attracted and charmed by you, and that’s aside from the marriage matter."

Her head was titled curiously at first before she smiled while confessing.

"You can touch me all you want, and only after that can we talk about the proposition. It's all right."

"Haaah…"

It wasn't all right. Neji really did want to just let loose, but… was it all right?

There were reasons for this: the existence of his other girls. For an empress like Ozy, the chance was low that she would be fine with being 'one of the many' instead of the one and only.

'In that case-'

["I think you're worried for no real reason right now."]

Lady Luck's voice boomed in his head, interrupting his monologue.

["I guess this is a way to want to cope from your past life? Where you slept with many but didn't love any. So, anyone you sleep with now, you want to love them too. Just fuck her and dip, what's the problem?"]

Neji couldn't believe she was saying all that. 

But then again, she did have a point. According to his [Harem King] title, he would unconditionally love a person who is part of his harem. But if that person isn't part of his harem, then he wouldn't have to love them.

Should he let loose for this once? It has been a little more than a week since he was in this world, and Ozy will only make the third woman until now if he were to accept the seduction. That was fine right? It was slow enough.

["If you aren't convinced yet, must I remind you that she hasn't yet agreed to give you the Grail for free? She will still want to marry you if you bring up the subject. I reckon you don't wish to marry someone before Kimi. So I say you fuck her brains out and threaten her mid-sex so that she hands over the grail. Don't worry about the later consequences."]

Now, that was convincing. Even with the power difference, if he used all his buffs and transformation, along with his pleasure-related skills, he should be able to overpower her. 

…If it was for the sake of the Grail, he had the self-excuse to seriously ruin this hot stuff tonight.

"How long are you going to make me wait?"

The woman looked a little hurt at his zoned-out thinking. It had just been a few seconds in real-time, but for her, who was so prideful, it must have hurt to see that her charm was failing.

"I'm sorry,"

Neji grabbed the back of her head and pulled her face down, kissing her right away.

"For keeping you waiting."

All hesitation now gone, Neji allowed the woman to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him deeply, while his hands moved behind her to grope her huge butt. It felt delicious on his hands, her plump ass filling up his fingers and melting on his palm.

His hands couldn't help but squeeze her butt once and again, while the kiss unrevealed in sloppy sounds.

"Mhm~"

“Let’s make a bet, alright?”

While she moaned, he suggested. She chuckled a little and nodded.

“About the Grail, is it? I can guess. It appears that you’re not really fond of the idea of marrying me. Haah… Well, sure.”

Neji was about to explain, but it seemed she was already aware of it. She indeed was wise, even though that may not be apparent in certain times. That was why he changed the plan to force her to give him the Grail mid-way this night, and bet from the start.

Neji smiled. “I am sorry, but yes. Anyhow. Who cums the most numbers tonight loses. How about it? The winner keeps the Grail.”

Ozymandias giggled at the silly condition and nodded. “Sure.”

Then, they got lost in kissing again. Neji’s arms wrapped around her waist a little tightly, while did the same with his neck. Their tongues danced inside one another’s mouth, as the two of them made love.

"I knew it would feel different to kiss a person as great as you~"

"You feel so royal~"

In between kisses, she commented how great it felt. Neji only complimented her by light gentle touches.

Her body was gently swayed in his lap, her breasts rubbed against his chest, and her thighs rub against his own as the situation unfolded.

Seeing her wiggly movements that were so hot, Neji couldn't help but command his Voidmancer [Zap], since a normal electrical one wouldn't, and then spank her ass. 

"Mmhmm?!" 

Ozymandias' golden eyes widened in the mixed feeling of pleasure and humiliation. 

It took quite a little bravery to spank a woman like her, but she didn't look that mad. Well, she did scratch his back very hard, but that just suggested she was okay with inflicting pain on one another mid-sex.

One of her hands moved to flap her hair to one side of her neck, and that made her look so beautiful. Neji's hands moved from her ass, to roam around her back and entire body.

Ozymandias moaned every time he zapped her, groped her, and made her tongue go numb. It appeared she didn't have much resistance against his sexual techniques.

Though Neji's that thought didn't last long when she canceled the kiss and chanted a weird spell. When she kissed him again, pleasure increased on the kiss and also as Neji touched her.

This woman was certainly special, and at this point zero hesitation remained in Neji. Since she really wanted him this much, he didn't have any choice but to fuck her good and well.

With his hands gripping her tight yet bouncy ass, Neji stood up. She hung on his chest, as the kiss continued, and he stood in the middle of the hot spring.

"Ahn~"

Due to the sudden movement, Neji's rock-hard cock that was sandwiched between his and her lower abdomens brushed sharply against her pussy. She let out a submissive moan at that, and that drove Neji crazy.

"I didn't think the great King Ozy could make such sounds?"

"Ozy? Isn't that a little disrespectful?"

"No? It’s cute. You can call me Neji. It's a name that my close ones use. Sounds similar, doesn't it? Ozy and Neji?"

"Oh my, it does."

Neji and Ozymandias chattered, still kissing and making out. Finally, Neji reached his limit. Grabbing her by the waist, he raised her body up and… put her body down on his cock.

"W-wai-"

Ozymandias tried to argue, but it was too late. She could only let out a moan so euphoric that Neji nearly came. The tightness inside her body didn't help, either.

"Ugh…"

Ozymandias shivered. The pain didn't last long, though, since she was already dripping wet. That was why his cock went in so smoothly anyway.

However… something was wrong.

"Huh? Fellow… No, Neji? What's up with that expression?"

Neji's expression turned horrified, and it wasn't caused by her. His shared eyes had just seen the coming of a group on the edge of Uruk.

Mordred. The child of Artoria.

'Why is she…'

'No, why now? Ugh, I am in between something important.'

Neji didn't have the cold heart to leave Ozymandias alone. Not when he just slid inside her. Even for a person so proud as her, she will be left devastated and self-conscious since she respected and liked him.

'Well… There is the Omni-1 there. If worse comes to worst, I'll just go there with Quetzalcoatl and Ishtar after I am done with this hottie here.'

He was thankful to [Super-Tasking]. He could split his attention to not even worry about Uruk. After all, the battle with this hot piece of ass deserved his attention more than that war.

Neji shook his head and smiled. 

"It's nothing. I'm just shocked. I didn't know a woman would feel this good."

"Ah…?"

Ozymandias blinked first, before giving him a charming smile.

"You're good with words."

"This mouth is good with some other things too."

Neji kissed her as he said that, and his arms moved to lift her up on his cock. He pushed her down and she moaned, as the moaning only intensified when he started to move fiercely.

"Ahhhh~"

That night, the two of them made love in 18 different positions. The entire temple shook as they loved one another, getting lost in pleasure and the warmth of their bodies. The overwhelming sense of euphoria took over Ozymandias first, as Neji had thankfully gone beyond with Lady Luck and could hold himself sane.

It was a battle, where Neji's sword had already won the moment it penetrated her defense. In the end, Neji just had to make her admit defeat, where she had no choice but to say who was superior.

With rough breaths turning gentle, the two moved to the bed and lay on top of one another. The sun rose in the eastern sky, as the two finally fell asleep.
