Chapter 16: Chaos Infection

[Antidote to Chaos Infection - 1,000,000 Souls]

Luna: "You need about 1,000 to cure her."

Artreus: 'Nice try. I only need to buy one then I can duplicate them infinitely.'

Luna: "Worth a shot."

He turned around and approached Quelaag.

Quelaag: "So?"

Artreus: "I have an power that can create things for specific purposes. Such as weapons, armours, potions, anything. Even the cure to your sister. But to obtain them requires Souls. The stronger or rarer the thing I want, the more Souls it needs. For the Cure to your sister's condition, I need 1,000,000 Souls as I do not have enough."

Quelaag was curious about this power he had, but didn't press him for more. Everyone has their secrets, even her and her family. The secrets of Pyromancy was theirs and they taught others the basics but kept the dangerous and uncontrollable spells to themselves. After all, she and her remaining sisters did not want the same incident to occur as what had happened to her mother.

Quelaag handed him a singular glowing White wispy flame. It was condensed of a great many souls into a singular, Large and powerful one.

Artreus: 'This is probably what a Soul of a Silver Knight/Black Knight or a low ranking Lord would look like.'

Quelaag: "This is all I have. I used to possess more, but I had to constantly give it alongside the Humanities I took from the Undead and Hollows I hunted."

[Countless Souls - 1,340,667 Souls]

Artreus: "There is a little more than 340,000 Souls extra?"

Artreus is not a thief, he didn't want to take anything else from her since he just wants to do this good act since he could, not for payment, but for free.

Quelaag: "Consider it payment if you can treat her. If you can't then I'll take it back by force...with interest."

He just ignores the threat and accepted it. If she was okay with it then so was he.

He went to Solaire and handed him the Immortal Cube. He made 1,000 of the Antidote and placed it inside the Immortal Cube. It seemingly able to contain them all.

Artreus: "My body will turn into an White Orb in a few moments. I want you to grab my Orb body and place it into the cube. Press this button and this one here at the same time and say "Fuse these two together, Combine" and then open it from one side. Take out the Orb and place it on the ground."

Solaire: "My friend, I don't understand what your doing...but okay."

In the next instant Artreus transformed himself into his original Orb form and dropped to the ground.

Quelaag: "What happened to him? Where did he go?"

Solaire: "Don't worry. He said he is this white Orb here."

Quelaag: "What?!"

Solaire ignored the Daughter of Chaos and placed the Orb Artreus into the cube.

Once done he did exactly as Artreus had said to do. Once done and after saying the phrase, he opened the cube and out popped the White Orb.

Quelaag had scurred over with her spider legs to grab the Orb in Solaire's hand to examine it.

Quelaag: "You're telling me, that he is this White Orb in my hand?

Artreus transformed into a Black Mamba Snake.

Quelaag dropped him in fright of the unexpected event.

He slithered over to Quelann and quickly bit her on the neck, instead if him injecting the one of the most venomous liquid of the most deadliest creature on Earth, he had replaced the Venom of the fangs with his own blood.

He made sure to only have his regeneration and the Antidote to Chaos Infection within the blood he was injecting in her.

Thanks to the Immortal Cube, his blood is now as potent as 1,000 pills of the Antidote to Chaos Infection medicine. He had given a few droplets worth of Blood Venom to Quelaan.

Once he released his bite on her, he was viciously pulled away and grasped by Quelaag.

Quelaag: "What did you do?!"

Artreus: "She's cured, look for yourself."

Quelaag turned her gaze from the snake in her hand to her sister. Her eyes went wide open as she saw what was happening.

Her sister had regained the color of life on her skin. It was no longer deathly pale but fair and healthy like her own. The spider torso also began to look identical to her own, flames had then appeared across her body. The eggs that were attached and nearby her spider body were burned away by the flames.

Soon after her lower body began to transform into Humanoid legs.

Her sister had regained her original Humanoid form!

Although she was completely buck naked...

The sisters didn't care about such trivial things such as clothes, as they were finally able to reunite and celebrate.

[Congratulations! You have completed a Hidden Quest! Avoid Killing the Chaos Witch Quelaag! Reward: Quelaag Fury Sword, Chaos Blade, Chaos Witch Quelaag Form, Pyromany Spell Creation, Artreus Pyromany Flame, 300,000 X2 Souls]

Quelaag had Artreus still in her hand. She rushed to her sister and hugged her...with Artreus in the middle.

He wasn't complaining. He was all for it and 'Celebrated' for his own reasons.

His long sepantine body was in between the 2 Sisters large pair of 'Eggs' *hint* *hint*

After some time of them crying, he finally decided to slither out of his spot. But he did so by taking the long route around.

The sisters still didn't care to take notice but they did feel something ticklish on their front 'Eggs' *hint* *hint*

He returned to Human form and spoke.

Artreus: "She won't be able to talk or walk for a while. I suggest sleeping for a few days. Don't consume any more Hummanity and give her a full bottle of this until she is fully recovered. This will speed up her recovery. You can take this as well to cure yourself too. The two if you will be able to transform freely between your half and full human forms by just imaging it in your minds."

Once Quelaag had calmed herself down at her finally healthy sister. She turned to look at Artreus.

Quelaag: "I still haven't asked your name yet. I am terribly sorry. May I know it?"

Artreus: "Don't worry about it. I am Artreus Akaniir of Skyrim, and my companion is Solaire of Astora."

Quelaag: "Is thre anything else that I can give you as a reward Artreus Akaniir. What you have done deserves far more then any number of measly Souls that can be obtained."

After a few moments of thinking he had suddenly gotten an idea. Since he couldn't kill Quelaag and her Soul...why not just get it all.

Artreus: "Can I have you kill me repeatedly with your sword, body and have you eat me with that spider mouth of your lower Torso. I have an ability that keys me mimic forms and things I receive enough information about. The fastest way to do it is to be in direct contact with whatever I am attempting to learn to mimic. You already saw the snake I turned into."

At first she hesitated to harm her helper of her sister, but relents and does It after alot if back and forth arguing.

After being devoured and killed many times by the "Hot" beauty that is Quelaag, her Human bidy at least.

He obtains Quelaag form and Quelaag's Fury Sword and the Chaos Blade somehow as a bonus. Probably because the Fury Sword can be made from Quelaag's soul and so can the Chaos Blade. Thus when he got one, he got the other.

Artreus also asks to learn Pyromany from Quelaag and her sister.

She agrees and gives her a piece of her Pyromany Flame and teaches him Pyromany for the next few weeks.

Quelaag was actually nervous and had blushed alot whenever she was near Artreus now or when he looked at her direction.

Artreus knew that she acted like this due to her giving him the Pyromany Flame.

The Pyromany Flame is apart of the person's very soul. Essentially, Artreus now has one of the most powerful Pyromany Flames to exist, a Pyromany Flame that was given to the Chaos Witch Quelaag by her mother. One of the True 4 Gods of Dark Souls Universe. The Witch of Izalith, Creator of Pyromancy and the bearer of the Lord Soul of Life.

Artreus and Quelaag now shares a bond and a connection through the soul. In other words, they two of them are now family. As for what their relationship is, not even Quelaag knows.

She doesn't know if he should see him as a Son, Brother, Father, Uncle, Nephew or Lover. And so she had been going through a whole range of different emotions while she was training him and teaching him in how to control Pyromany.

Over the few weeks that Artreus spent with the Chaos Sisters, he was able to learn evry Pyromany Spell within that time frame.

Normally it would take someone more than 100 years to learn all the Pyromany Spells that the Daughters of Chaos knew, but he did it in weeks!

How he did this was due toba few reasons.

First was his Elder Blood. Since he now possesses the power of The Elder Blood, he is also now a Souce. A Source is an individual that required no catalyst or medium to cast magic. They are magic. In the Witcher Universe, even the most powerful Mages in the world, one of which being Yennefer, can't cast magic without a catalyst. Her Catalyst is her Amulet which she wears. This is also true for Dark Souls Magic, Miricles and Pyromany.

Second is that Artreus knew the item descriptions, visual demonstrations and level requirements for all the spells. Although, thanks to his Elder Blood, he can bypass the level stat requirements for the spells. However, he won't be able to use them as they're originally ment to be, and it will be weaker unless he meets the level stat requirements.

Third, all Pyromany spells are similar and just alterations of the same spell. All you need to learn is to conjure fire and you are done. All it is, is a matter of using your imagination to make spells. The Chaos family were masters of this because they used their imagination to make nearly every spell used today. Since other people have different thought processes or different ways they imagine Fire Manipulation, this causes them to be unable to have the same understanding of the spell. Every spell made must be original or it is just a weaker copy of an original spell. Eingyi is a master at the Poison must spell because he created it as his own original spell, even Quelaag and Quelaan have difficulties reaching the same level of understanding and mastery over the Poison mist spell, because of the prior explanation.

Lastly, he has a System. Enough said...

As he was minding his own business going through all his inventory. He checked up and saw that Angel is semi active, so far she isn't awake but is about to be soon. He Frees time on her Orb form and puts her back into his Storage.

He looked around at the area of the Ceaseless Discharge and then to the Izalith ruins, before the Demon Firesage Boss Fight, which was infested with demons.

He then spotted something which took him by surprise and left him speeches as he fell back and rolled down the stairs, since he was sitting on the edge of a drop.

When he recovered he teleported to the same spot he was in to get a better look.

He saw an Ashen Haired girl with a Perculier sword fighting against a few dozen Capra Demons. She was teleporting all over the place while in order to dodge the attacks being sent towards her. Each time she teleported, she would leave a false of Turquoise colored light!

Artreus: "WHAT THE HELL IS CIRI DOING HERE?!?!?!?!"
