AN: I DESIRE SLEEP! Stupid Insomnia.

Anyways, this chapter is another NSFW one, but has a particular twist to it. For it is not a torture-fest, nor is it anything normal. However, it does leave our MC rather perplexed, which will be addressed at a later date when they're not traipsing through the world.

As always, thank you all for reading thus far. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to voice them.

"Now," I began as the rest of my underlings appeared before my person, "why did Gonzo leave your side in order to attack my person?"

This query was directed towards each of them, as they slowly moved around and over the bodies of the fallen. However, Shadow had procured a spear from one of the fallen Humans. Of which was less than pristine, and marred with streaks of blood across the wooden shaft, but did not seem to bother one such as her. For she simply used a less than blood stained cloth of one of the fallen in order to wipe away much of the blood, whilst only spreading the rest which dyed the shaft a dirty crimson.

As this was occurring, Shiro and Robby were helping the two royals cross the sea of death I had caused. For they seemed to have feinted from all the carnage, as well as witnessing my terrible visage of blood which stained my chin, chest, and limbs. No. I did not wipe it off, even when one of them pointed it out. Instead, it would stay as a reminder of what the worlds are truly capable of producing. Monsters.

Once they all assembled, I pointed towards the body of the Templar-to-be, and repeated my query once more. To which Robby replied with, "He called you a monster, and us cowards for not fighting against you, Boss."

"He also said something about breaking through a spell, and that the only way to free us was by killing you," chimed in Shadow, who had discarded the spear for a pair of axes with large blades attached to the handles.

"Hmm," my voiced hummed softly as I remembered only a few instances where an individual was able to break through my enthrallment spells, but shrugged as they were in the past, and I cared nothing about it.

"Shouldn't we get away from here?" asked Shiro, who appeared to be rather nervous about the whole scene. What with a multitude of bodies with scattered parts flung about the area, "Won't this attract monsters, or something?"

"You have nothing to fear of monsters," groaned Anna, who poked her head out from behind his right shoulder, "We have a big one right there." Upon saying these words, did she turn her head towards the right in order to vomit up the porridge she had eaten earlier. Though, there was more bile than actual substance amongst the vomit.

To these words I simply shrugged and called Shadow over in order to ask if she would like some armour in order to better protect herself. "Why?" she voiced her query, as I stood in the supposed centre of the mess I had made. Her head was cocked towards her left shoulder, the ears flicked forwards in order to listen to my next words, "I have never needed them before, so why start now? Besides, I'm far faster and stronger than any other male, so there's no-"

The Kin's words fell away, as she noted the blade at her throat. For I was in front of her person, wielding a broken sword which was held below her chin, "You are too slow. Therefor," the weapon was retracted as I retreated towards the centre once more, "you shall be gaining a new set of armour until you can prove to my person you are much faster than I." She never will be, by the by, but was never told as such.

In any case, the moment I stood in the centre, my right arm was raised high with fingers splayed in order to use my magicks for an idea I had. Which was to summon all pieces of metal which were upon the ground, and into a liquefied orb above my person. This was so, as I desired to give Shadow a set of armour which would be much like a second skin for her.

Yes. This was the same process for each of my Undying, as it was simply far easier than crafting such pieces one at a time.

During such a process, my energies had spread themselves out of my body in the form of silvered mists, which then flowed over the ground, startling the five who witnessed such a spectacle. However, the moment the mists touched something which was metallic, the item slowly stretched itself into thin streams towards the area above my person. This action caused the others' eyes to widen greatly, as an orb of liquefied metal slowly grew in size above them.

Such a task would only last for a few heartbeats, as I was greatly familiar with this sort of Enchanter's skill. "Shadow, stand before my person," I began, as the other slowly walked forwards mechanically, then stood close by, "Raise your arms to your sides, if you would, and do not move until the process is complete."

She had opened her maw just as I was about to begin the process, but snapped it shut when she noted that my eyes were glaring into her own. "You may inquire as to why I have done this later. For now, you must drop the axes in your hands, or else they will truly become a part of your person."

Still curious about what I was doing, but not wanting to risk my ire, Shadow dropped her axes just as the silvered mists flowed back into my body. Of which did not add its metal to the large orb, half the size of my person, above.

However, what came next surprised her greatly, as my left hand reached forth and stripped her body of the breast strap and loincloth. Thus, revealing that which was betwixt her legs, and a large pair of breasts. What was more interesting than this, was the fact that she had a male appendage above the area which was clearly made for a female. To this, I simply raised an eyebrow towards her person, and mouthed the words, "We will speak of this later," as the orb of liquid metal streamed towards her body, engulfing her entirely.

As to the process of binding metal to one's skin? Well, it truly is quite simple, really. Then again, many would not call it as such when I say it must become one's skin, and replace the organ in its entirety. Yes. Such a thing must occur, or else the process will never work, and the subject may perish in the event.

In this case, I had long ago perfected the craft, and it begins with the metal flowing over the individual's body in great streams and ribbons. Each of these are individual, and to themselves, as they slowly wrap around the torso, whilst still leaving the details prevalent to the body alone. Such as a few scars from a long ago battle, or a pair of large mounds upon a female's chest.

Next comes the arms and hands, which are given their own, separate coat of the metal, followed up by the legs and feet. By the by, that which is betwixt one's legs are given a thinner coating, and as she held both male and female part, I made sure to apply it by hand. For I was rather curious to know if she felt pleasure from both, and she was, as I noted the male appendage standing at attention as the metal coated it in a spiral pattern. The female portion made her gasp aloud, as a thin rod of metal was inserted into the lips, before flowing outwards to coat them in its entirety.

Yes. The others bore witness to this event, but were not privy to the front, as only her bare, backside was in their view. For I would not suffer the fools, if they witnessed the male appendage upon her female body. As such, I made sure they did not come forward, even as her backside was coated in the same metal as the front.

During the entirety of this, her teeth had been clenched whilst bare, as it is quite the painful process. For this point is where the metal attaches itself to the outer layer of the skin, and the nerves which are used to feel everything. Thus, it heightens such senses as it slowly eats away at the organ itself.

Ah, but are you not wondering why it has not attached itself to her head just yet? It is so, as the process for such a venture can be quite deadly, as the metals must flood into her body. Which means the subjects will begin to suffocate until it is finished completely. However, this will not occur until much later.

For now, she was subjected to the skin portion of everything below her neck, as it is all of the metal at hand. Of which was not enough to coat her tail completely, and only seemed to give it a light coat metal bristles. These were still soft, by the by, but gave off the illusion of it being a deadly weapon. As to the rest of her body, it needed to be lifted above the ground, as it shook from the next process. Which was the metal slowly becoming her skin, whilst her arteries were slowly becoming full of liquid metal in place of her blood.

This was, of course, very dangerous. As such could kill her once the replacement blood entered her heart. To which I had to use my magicks in order to prevent until her skin was replaced in its entirety. Yes. This also meant I needed more metal, and had to draw upon my Void Space in order to do so, but how?

Well, you may be quite surprised, or perhaps not at all, that I had opened a small portal in the remainder of the orb of liquid metal to allow more iron into the streams which were still flowing into Shadow's body. However, I could not allow the others to know of this, nor the False God above, so I kept the orb the same size as the streams thinned out. For I desired such surprises kept to a minimum, as well as to hide the fact that such an ability is only available to those who survive through the Tutorial World known as Terra.

Now, with the added metal to the orb, I was able to continue without much worry, as a full helmet of her exact facial features was made behind Shadow's head. In which it slowly flowed over her as she was bade to take a deep breath just as it engulfed her nose and mouth. Thus, we entered the more dangerous phase, as I took a more direct approach in controlling the metals which were now flooding into her lungs, heart, and other organs.

For you see, my dear audience, this will kill even a god, if one does not micromanage everything down to the most minute detail. As the body must be transformed into one of living metal, if one is to become part of my Undying force.

In this case, I needed to make sure the metals within her veins and arteries took on the function of blood. Which meant they needed to be bound to each and every blood's cellular's structure in order to achieve this. It also meant that her organs, which were fed such liquid in order to function properly, needed to be able to receive the new mixture. In that they needed to be changed completely in order to do so.

Of which it became thusly, as I caused the area around that which was betwixt her legs, as well as her chest, to mold around such things to keep the world from viewing them in their entirety. However, she would need to rest, as the process is quite draining, but when she awakens, the world will welcome something completely new.

Even if I have to force them to embrace her transformation.

AN2: Next month, I'll be done with my editing payments on the third. Afterwards comes the process of figuring out how to transfer it all to Amazon, and everything in between. So yeah, expect it to be up between mid July, or around the first week of August. Maybe even sooner.

Oh, and the second arc will probably be split into two parts due to how expensive it is, and its length. This one might end up being split into thirds, just depends on how long it takes.
