Duel Night 2
The ability I secretly developed over a week. An unexpected evolution occurred in my unique skill, Soul Harvest. I thought it was just about summoning and commanding familiars, but as my bond with them deepened, I discovered an astonishing change. I could share their senses.
"Nangryun, watch out!"
I slowly closed my eyes. In that instant, multiple viewpoints unfolded in my mind like several monitors flickering on at once.
Whoosh— The foggy landscape from Shan's perspective high in the sky. Nangryun's hiding spot appeared crystal clear right in front of me. Go A-hee's aroused face filled the frame in close-up. This scene was from U Mi-young (Puwoo's) viewpoint. She was locked in a kiss with Go A-hee right now. Jessica Johansson's face from Hollywood flashed by quickly, followed by a cock plunging in and out of her pussy.
Ah... My clone, Kagamusha, was fucking Jessica Johansson. All the viewpoints spread out in my head like small monitors. This was the ability I'd grinded day and night for a week. By maxing out sensory sharing with my familiars, I'd gained something akin to Beelzebub's multi-vision.
Multi-Vision (Limited)
[Teacher, adding more viewpoints will overload your brain. Three is the max for now.]
Following Jejeop's advice, I shut down the other views and focused on Shan's airborne perspective. Nangryun was hunkered down 50 meters northeast, behind a parked SUV. The bastard was fiddling with the tattoo on his arm, about to do something.
"O Nangryun, you think hiding behind a parked car means I can't find you?"
"Huh? Fuck, how'd you know?"
"Bye-bye."
"Huh???"
Nangryun looked up at the sky. He spotted Shan first—the one whose eyes I was borrowing—then gasped in horror at the blue comet plummeting from above.
"A comet?! You crazy fuck!!"
Dozens of meters up, the massive blue comet I'd prepared hovered. Using the mana-free generation of Holy Flames, I'd gathered and fused flame orbs bit by bit since the fight started. The giant comet began hurtling down with a thunderous roar.
"Woojin! I surrendeeeer!!! Surrender!!!"
The guy hoisted the car over his head like a shield, squealing like a pig getting slaughtered. I dispersed the energy I'd infused into the falling blue comet into the air.
Kaboom!!
The scattered energy split the meteor into smaller fireballs, raining down on the car like fiery hail. Even reduced to orbs, it packed a punch. The car-shield turned to scrap, and Nangryun staggered out, white smoke billowing from his mouth.
"Whoa... fuck... what the hell? This your new skill?"
His hands trembled from the shock.
"Just a combo of existing ones. Holy Flames don't cost mana."
"Insane... You fused thousands of fireballs into a meteor?"
"Exactly 800. Meteors are rocks clumped together, so I mimicked it." I tapped my temple with my index finger. "Your head's fucked. Totally fucked. Whoa."
His Busan dialect slipped out in his fluster.
"Condense that power more, and it'd be way stronger... but that's still beyond me. Just for show. Showmanship."
"Still, mana-free power like this? Total cheat."
"Works on hunters and demons, but kid stuff against a demon king."
Nangryun shook his head. "Nah. Speed up the cast, aim pinpoint? One-shot city. Boom, then boom again."
"Yeah, got that in mind."
"Fucking cheat. Shit."
I shook my head. "That comet? Summoned it the second we started fighting. Pinpoint placement ain't easy."
"What? You... multitask too?"
"Quit gawking. Heal up first."
The blue flames hadn't hit direct, but his charred skin showed real damage. I called Shan from the sky to envelop Nangryun. Shan's healing mended his scrapes fast.
"Whoa! This guy's Shan from T-28. Shanghai bug, high-tier demon, huh? This was the one watching me earlier?"
"Ah... first time seeing him? Sent him to T-12, brought him back today."
"Badass. Fuck. Super rare unique demon. Hardest high-tier unique to snag. When do I get one?"
Shan's powers outclassed other high-tiers in strength and utility. I used him to start healing the Pink Banny girls too.
"My new skill's Soul Harvest leveled up to Soul Sharing."
Soul Harvest → Soul Sharing
"W-Wait... the multitasking secret..."
Nangryun's pupils shook wildly.
"Yeah, I was watching you through Shan's eyes. New power lets me share my familiars' vision."
His jaw dropped to the floor.
"Crazy... That's Beelzebub's power, right? The ten thousand eyes..."
"Not that extreme, but I can share their sight, hearing, touch—even control them."
"Fuck... So you can see through O Su-jeong in T-12? Nah, Ji Won-young's view."
"Yep. If I want."
"Whoa. Cross-dimensional scouting, full TS? Touch, smell, hearing too!!"
"Dude, fuck that. Just remotely puppeteering Kagamusha is the perk."
Right then, my Kagamusha clone, Kuma, walked toward us in my likeness.
"Like this—borrowing his body to chat. Cool, huh?"
"Fuck, straight-up creepy."
I kept explaining through Kuma's mouth. "Catch is, full sensory link locks my main body to minimal movement. Multitasking's tougher than it looks."
Nangryun rubbed his arms like chills hit him. I was viewing him through Kuma's eyes now.
"How many familiar views at once?"
"Three max. Feels like eyes multiplying, but separate round monitors floating. Each with its own feed."
"Fucking wild."
"Lemme see... Ji Won-young's singing for fans right now. LA tour."
"Sick..."
"But linking all senses triggers headaches—risky. My brain ain't ready yet."
I switched back to controlling my real body.
"Training'll improve it. Jealous as hell. Looks like you absorbed Beelzebub's power. Melted him into data?"
"Nah. Jejeop was shocked too. Similar, but he can't directly control his flea-flies."
"Familiar limit? How many now?"
"Don't call 'em 'critters.' Hurts their feelings."
"Whatever."
"SpongeBob, O Su-jeong, Kuma, Puwoo, Teddy, Shan, Retriever, Quickshit... Seven total. Jejeop figures twelve's the cap."
"Five slots left... Gotta pick Baal's apostles carefully."
"Yeah... Snagging one means wrangling their five strongest apostles."
"Kekeke. Thinking about it cracks me up. Baal preps gates and towers for apostles, you yoink 'em as familiars?"
"Yup."
"Evil... Pure evil. Kekeke."
"Better than Baal unifying hell dimensions."
"Honestly... Jealous, but thrilled you got this power. For real."
Nangryun was genuinely happy. A bit pervy, but having a reliable friend like him was huge strength.
"Also, tuned my 'Girl Bears' to obey you too. Use 'em freely. Pink Banny's your custom squad—hope you like 'em."
"What???"
"Happy birthday to you~~ Happy birthday!!"
This fucker suddenly belted out the birthday song. Pink Banny backed him up with harmonies and dances, nailing it perfectly.
"To our beloved Park Woojin~ Happy birthday~~"
They were all in reverse bunny girl outfits! When'd he prep these?
Clap clap clap!! Felt like that awkward Evangelion "happy birthday" clap scene. My Girl Bears, SpongeBob, Nangryun's monster critters—all clapping for me.
"You... remembered my birthday?"
"Duh, dumbass."
"Birthday gift's Pink Banny!! Pink Banny, your main commander ain't me anymore—it's Park Woojin. Got it?"
"Yes, Commander!!"
"Yes, Commander!!"
"Yes, Commander!!"
"Yes, Commander!!"
The Pink Banny girls saluted cutely.
"We'll serve our new commander! I'm Suryeon, Pink Banny's lead vocal!"
"I'm Rijina, guitar and sub-vocal!"
"I'm Scarlett Rose, drums and choreography!"
"I'm Bella Queen, bass and rap!"
All four lifted their right feet and shouted cutely in unison.
"We're Park Woojin-nim's fuckhouse Pink Banny!!"
Fuck. Couldn't stop grinning. Cheeks hurt like a clown's.
"Knew you'd love it, you bastard."
"Overkill gift."
"Just say thanks, asshole."
"Uh... thanks."
Suddenly got reverse bunny girl Pink Banny as a birthday present. Sure, fragile looks hiding Bear Warrior power...
"Gotta ship 'em to T-12 quick. Missing four days already."
I tilted my head at Nangryun's words. "T-12?"
"Yeah."
"Who?"
"Pink Banny."
"Huh? Why? T-12's got its own Pink Banny. These are T-16's."
"Nah."
"???????????"
I tilted my head, confused as fuck, then yelped.
"What???"
I rubbed my dry face, headache brewing. Had to confirm.
"These Pink Banny... you fused 'em with Bear Warriors... don't tell me."
"Bingo. Kidnapped 'em from T-12. Birthday gift, y'know? Shells felt cheap, so no holes punched. You hate hole siblings!"
Headache incoming. My fave idols turned demonic.
I stammered in disbelief. "You... insane psycho fuck..."
Reading my shock, Nangryun licked his dry lips.
"You were gonna familiar-ize Baal's apostles from T-12 anyway. Same vibe."
"Vibe's same, but these ain't apostles—no threat..."
Couldn't hide my expression. Even for a friend, this crossed a line.
"Better than Baal using Pink Banny. Everyone knows you stan 'em—Baal too."
"...Yeah."
"Humans are memories anyway. Think healthier, longer-living Pink Banny. Wanna revert? One command: 'Live as original Pink Banny.'"
True. From a neuroscientist's view, spot on. Fused with Bear Warriors, but memories pure Pink Banny. Philosophical debate endless, but humans are memories. Undeniable.
Still felt off.
"Suddenly flipping a dropped hat and spouting neo-Confucian bullshit."
Nangryun's jab made me guilty. My scornful look hurt the guy who'd worked hard on the gift. Too self-centered morally.
I bowed sincerely. "Sorry for real. Thanks tons for the gift. I'll cherish it. Sorry for sticking my tongue out like a dick."
"Ah! Now I get why you flipped. My bad too. Didn't know you wanted to personally fuckhouse Pink Banny. Won't touch T-12 humans now."
His apology nailed why I'd snapped narrow-mindedly. Wanted to claim Pink Banny myself.
"Ah... yeah, that's why I got mad. Felt right to conquer 'em personally."
"Crazy bastard. Kekekekeke."
No secrets between us. Nangryun and I cleared emotional rifts instantly.
"Anyway, your birthday three months out... prep's gonna suck."
"New monsters? Don't kill—send 'em my way. Seal in Teddy's gut."
"Uh... sure."
Teddy was my new Bear Warrior, sub-space pouch familiar.
"I'm out. Total loss this round. Next duel, revenge."
"Where? No booze?"
"Nah. Ship Pink Banny to T-12 before gate closes."
"Cool. Back for my killer meal."
"Deal!!"
"Oh, Bear Warriors got high vasopressin? That's their loyalty."
"!!!"
Nangryun bounced coolly with his Girl Bear squad. I knew vasopressin well.
"The hormone that breeds obsession in mates..."
Vasopressin kills wandering eyes, fosters dependence. With oxytocin, perfect love—but excess? Obsession...
Gulp.
After he left, Pink Banny stared blankly. My fave idols' gazes felt... different. Already obsessed?
Familiars I could tune, but these were pure Bear Warriors.
"Commander! Give orders!"
Suryeon—'Black Bean Girl' image master—smiled sweetly in reverse bunny fit. I'd hugged T-16's Suryeon, knew her chewy, tasty body. Dick twitched already. Bunny girl nosebleed-worthy; reverse? Heart attack gear.
Plus, Scarlett Rose peeled off her nipple and pussy heart stickers with a rip right in front of me.
"Commander! Our outfits too slutty? Your crotch is signaling!"
Scarlett's shout had Rijina whispering to Bella Queen.
"Commander's hard..."
"No..."
Embarrassed, I cupped my boner with both hands.
"Even like this?"
Rijina spun nude, graceful curves dancing elegantly. Bella Queen stuck out her red tongue, boldly seducing.
"Girls... ahem."
I cleared my throat to calm them.
"Not on the street, girls. Gate's at the department store—change there first."
"Hehehe~ Yes, Commander!"
"Yes~ Commander!"
"YES SIR! Commander!"
"Sir yes sir!"
My dick was about to burst. But that "Commander" bit... kinda bugs me?
