Chapter 793: 782
Title: Mistress of Eternal Ice— Tuhina
Usually, after a round of victory came a blast of orgy and now that they practically owned this realm, the girls partially expected Nik to act as such. However, the only thing Nik actually did after learning everything there was known about the Norn Sisters, he secluded himself in a room for a while, leaving everybody confused.
Within the Dream Core, a strange situation could be seen unfolding. Besides the physical copies of Nik who held the three infinite stones, one of them resembled his current body formed of eternal ice, casually waving an icy sword. Another one was a giant green form with rippling muscles idling by laying on his side and picking his nose. Two of them were the red-flamed Netherion and Bonestar. Another one was a flashy being with a pure whitened figure as if formed of plasma and heat while blue lightning zapped around him.
But... these were only the most orthodox of Nik's form.
"Hollllly fuck! Being a sword is awesome!" A broadsword that looked extremely similar to Lilith's form just with the color scheme now changed to purple-black instead of red-black flew around the group of physical copies.
"We know... we're all you," the Hulking Nik grunted as he swatted away the sword but even the physique that matched a rank 8 individual now had his palm's skin slightly opened up by a thin scratch.
"Tch," the giant Nik clicked his tongue while the jolly broadsword chuckled, "I'm practicing Absolute Sharpness, remember? After learning Pure's first name, I'm gonna tackle with Lilith!"

"Yay!" Although Nik sat cross-legged in a darkened room, his vision was anything but blank. He found himself in a very familiar frozen hell once again as a plump ice parrot flapped its wings and perched on a spike. Nik was naked with the dragon and serpent totem moving around his body. They were alive and would coil against each other playfully every now and then.
"Ready to tell me your real name?" Nik inquired.
He had tried to complete Pure's condition for a long time now. In fact, he even had the delusions that his upbeat mood after Tanya's birth was the tonic he needed to complete Pure's challenge. Alas, he's been stuck for a long time.
Hearing his words, Pure's head tilted slightly as her beautiful beaks parted, "Hehe, 30 minutes of pure ice."
She flapped her wings and instantly, Nik's spiritual world was covered in a snowstorm while hail stuck to Nik's body.
Previously, due to his limited understanding and views, he would let the ice remain on his body and try to force his body to adapt to the cold. Now he knew, it was a wrong method. Instead, Nik's spiritual body crumbled the moment Hail struck him while his feet shriveled at the rise of frost. The two scaled beings on his body instantly began to riot but Nik didn't care.
Instead, he narrowed his gaze and smiled.
The spiritual world, in the end, was his personal space with his spirits being the tenants. They could wield laws and concepts in here, but so could Nik.
As his body broke, he would also recover. Crystal-like ice would cover his body and then revert to a skin-like state as Pure continued to flap her wings.
She knew that with Nik's understanding of the element of water growing to the realm of Grandmaster meant that he would be able to pass her condition.
As expected, Nik withstood the condition while the dragon of purity and the serpent of devour twisted around Nik's waist in confusion.
"So?" Nik parted his lips, "It's time to finally introduce yourself, Pure," he added with a chuckle. However, the parrot in front of him was strangely silent. Still, Nik waited without any hints of impatience until a voice behind him called out. It was Pure, but she sounded embarrassed and shy.
"Eh, you can turn back now..." She called out as the parrot made of ice slowly crumbled into icy shards.
Turning around, Nik saw a purple-haired woman looking at him. Her fair cheeks reddened with excitement, her plump red lips pressed in a coy smile, and her pair of bewitching violet eyes matching Nik. Her gaze watery, and expectant. Her figure draped in heavy white robes as she clenched the edge of her long sleeves. Mesmerized by her long, loose locks of purple, and the sheer innocence the figure exposed, Nik couldn't help but feel a little strange.
He hadn't felt such a feeling of innocence from any woman ever. Even if they were virgins or not. Many girls in his harem might have pure intentions but compared to the figure in front as her nose continuously twitched while her thick eyelashes trembled, not out of cold but... something much more sentimental, Nik couldn't help but feel his heart being tugged by a strange force.
"If... you cry... you'll make me cry, too," Nik cracked a smile as he observed the woman's eyes turning glassy and glazed. Even his nostrils soured slightly and he felt just like the moment he saw Tanya.
The current figure in front of her exuded similar innocence compared to an infant.
"But... you finally did it," the woman in front of her said with a slightly choked voice.
"Yeah, I did," Nik pursed his lips. A smile soon formed over his expression and he rubbed the back of his head as he seemed to have realized something about Pure. Something primal as his spirit was more attuned to Ice and Water.
"Tuhina..." he whispered and the lady in front of him instantly lunged at Nik and hugged him tightly.
"You know my name! You really know my name!" The woman sniffed, her expression breaking into tears of happiness and accompanying snot as the annoyed dragon of purity would constantly roar and clean the impurities on Nik's chest.
"I know it," Nik's throat trembled while he embraced the woman while slowly sitting down. "I finally know it. Tuhina!" Nik called out again, making the woman tremble and cry even more.
---
"Aw... shucks... now I want to quickly let Nik dominate me, too..." In the deepest recesses of Nik's spiritual world, a figure cooed with heavy breathing as a cold snort echoed.
"Pervert, I'm next!" It was Lilith.
"Man, go easy on him..." Asmodeus groaned.
"Why? So that he can be as lazy as you?" Lilith scoffed.
"But you're the one who constantly asks yourself to be polished... who's lazy now?" Asmodeus snickered.
"You are," Lilith narrowed her gaze, "Anyway... it's the right decision to convert your body into a sword... even if it's fleshy, without any keen edge, and simply a transformed body. But the shape of the sword itself should provide continuous benefits."
"Sweety, stop praising me already. You're making me wet~!"
"Heh, praising you?"
"Of course, I'm the one who got him the body manipulation skill, remember?"
"He upgraded it on his own."
"But I got him the skill."
"You're worthless!"
"Am not."
"So are!"
"In your dreams!"
"I don't dream, bitch, I live my goals!"
"Oh, so one of your goals must be to act like a sharpless, witless sword cause that's who you are!"
"You slime!" Lilith hissed.
"Tch, I vow to stop talking to idiots!" Asmodeus hissed in return.
"You're the idiot!"
"Heyo! Did anybody hear that? Cause I sure can't hear it!" Asmodeus shouted.

Tuhina and Nik had their expression stiffened while their emotional introduction came to a short end due to the resounding voice of Lilith and Asmodeus bickering out of control.
"I'll just summon you in the real world... let's continue chatting there," Nik sighed.
"Yes... they both can be mildly annoying..." Tuhina soured.
"Who did you call annoying?" Their voices rumbled as Nik and Tuhina instantly disappeared from the spiritual world.
