500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

"Tallia!" I called out as Kali, Katarina, Velma, Daphne, and I held the doors closed. Nya was still on my shoulders, giggling.

"Galio! Galio! Let us have him/her!" Screams called from outside.

A portal snapped open, and I jumped through, pulling Katarina with me.

"Close it, or you are going to have a herd of women rushing inside!" I said, and the portal closed behind me. I felt bad for leaving the girls there, but the women should calm down when they found out I wasn\'t there.

"You! You have finally decided to show up! I am going to make you-"

"Nya, take Katarina back and stay with the girls till I am done here," I said, cutting Elfinia off.

"Sure, nya~! Be careful with this one!" Nya called as she hopped off my shoulders.

"I will not be treated in this way! You are going to learn some respect, creature!" Elfinia snapped as Nya created a portal and dragged Katarina through it.

"Tallia, throw us both out," I said, turning to Tallia, but she shook her head.

"I can\'t throw her out. Elfinia is stronger than me currently," Tallia explained, and I nodded.

"You think that you can just order everyone around! I am here to-"

"Portal to the badlands on the other side of the wall then," I said, cutting off Elfinia again, and Tallia nodded.

I walked over to Elfinia, whose arms were crossed. She was a stunningly beautiful woman, and I could see where her daughter got it from. The white dress that she wore with gold edging fit against her body like a glove, and there was an almost sheerness that left little to my imagination.

"What is the meaning of this?" Elfinia demanded.

"Get through the portal, or I will throw you through. Do you want to talk? We will do it there, got it?" I asked, and Elfinia raised her fist at me.

I snapped a hand forward, grabbed her by the left tit, and flung her like a ninja star screaming through the portal. I turned to Tallia, and she looked like she had just seen something that shouldn\'t be possible.

"Talk to you later, beautiful!" I said and hopped through the portal.

Once I was on the other side, it snapped closed, and I was back out beyond the south wall in the blasted landscape where the Riftwalker would be summoned. That was in two days now, and I still had a lot of work to take care of.

"You!" Elfinia screamed, and she shot at me.

I put a hand up, and Elfinia slammed into a barrier like it was a steel wall, crumpling to the ground. In my natural form, I was second to none, and this woman was going to learn that she had just been keeping my seat warm.

"Me," I said, crossing my arms.

"You think that a stupid barrier is going to stop me! Fight me, coward!" Elfinia growled as she jumped up and pulled out two elven short blades that looked like shortened katanas.

"Fine, come at me with your toothpicks," I said, uncrossing my arms and putting my hands in my pockets as my tail swished excitedly.

"Where are your weapons?! Take me seriously!" Elfinia snapped, and I grinned ferally.

"Does the master use his full force on a pupil, ever? Is it not better to teach one the error of their ways? Or should I just smash them out of you?" I asked, leaning forward and lifting an eyebrow.

Elfinia charged at me, similar to Tallia, but faster. The difference is that I respected Tallia, and she had asked me to teach her. This woman just needed to be taught a lesson.

The first slash came in a downward arc from the left, and I rolled into it, making her arms wrap around me.

"Oh? Did you only want a hug?" I taunted, and Elfinia opened her arms fast, trying to step back.

I jumped back hard into her, slamming Elfinia into the ground, and I did a backflip back to my feet. My hands were still in my pockets, and Elfinia looked pissed when she got back up. Not like she wasn\'t before, but this has turned it up another notch!

"What is wrong with you?! Are you scared to fight me fairly?" Elfinia snapped as she started to glow green.

"Mighty tall words for someone that has picked her ass off the ground twice and tried to hug me in the middle of a fight. Just what are we trying to do here? I thought that you wanted to fight, not tango, right?" I asked, but Elfina didn\'t reply.

Her body was starting to grow, and it was not really a good look for her. The once beautiful and delicate-looking Elf was now rippling muscles and veins. Her eyes were a storm of colors, and I could feel her drawing power from the astral realm.

From Sagittarius. Silly girl.

"Fine! I get it! I have been a bit of a cheater! You can have one free punch in my face!" I called over, and Elfinia grinned viciously.

I pulled power from my home, the Astral Isle of Paths, and filled myself with it. The feeling was familiar, nostalgic, and exhilarating all at the same time. Galactic coating covered my fur and hands that grew claws that each had a galaxy within them. My tail grew in size and length, coming to wrap the universe around me as it swished with excitement.

"COME AT ME WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!" I roared, vibrating the air, and Elfinia took a step back but then dashed at me with my hands still in my pockets.

Elfinia\'s punch hit me square in the face, but I sucked every ounce of astral energy that she had borrowed from her body. This also included all of her Goddess powers that she was given when entering Yaggisdral, making her shrink back to her original form.

These things were gifts that were loaned, not ones owned, and this is why Claire was sealed right now.

The Elf\'s punch hit me with little to no force, and I caught the passed-out woman before she hit the ground. That might have hurt her. Elfinia was no longer a goddess after all, for now, and I had the perfect place to put her to work.

That was provided that Listenia agreed to take her mother on as an apprentice. If not, she would just join the house service with Claire. Maybe the two might learn something from each other.
