Inspired by the commitment Cattleya, Mel, and Bertha displayed, you decided to test out your new [Custom Special] for a good chunk of the day.

The Laevantein sounded badass in both its description and use.

First appearances didn't disappoint.

You could make it change at will between its sword and whip forms, only using a small amount of your mana to turn the fire element it used on or off. It made you feel like you were gonna go off to slay demons and vampires.

"That's powerful weapon, Master." Herta said from behind a barrier Bertha created. "But it looks tough to control."

Those three wives of yours had decided to come with your for different reasons; Bertha to practice her own [Custom Special] — Barrier Shield. Meanwhile Gerty was here just in case anyone needed to get healed. Herta tagged along to get a refresher on how skills and abilities worked, and also to see what you'd picked as an ability. Though you suspected the goddess just wanted to be around you for a little while longer before getting back to work.

It also soon became clear to you that you needed to practice with it more— if how often you unintentionally hit Bertha's magical barrier was any indication. On a positive note, Bertha found it to be good practice.

"Yeah, it's cool, but Master has a 'weapon' in his pants that's WAY more powerful~" Bertha replied to the goddess, giving a smile while reinforcing her barrier. "But talking about that sword-whip Lava-thing, Master is already figuring it out super quickly even though it's not the type of weapon most would be good at using. Also I think it fits Master's style."

"Indeed it does." Gerty approved.

"I'm not saying it's bad." Herta continued. "It's strong, and Master always ends up controlling it in the end! Like when Master gets mad and spanks me."

"Or when he rightfully chides and corrects us with his other whip." Gerty added, referring to the dull-tipped cat 'o nine tails she bought for you to use on her in Centria.

"Getting harassed by Master is the dream of every woman." Herta nodded her head wisely. "It's almost like when Master shoves his meaty thing down my throat and I begin to choke~" You're not really sure what the connection between your cool ass sword and Herta's fetish was, but Herta wasted no opportunity to talk about the many different ways you 'punished' her.

"Well said." Gerty enthusiastically took mental notes of that. "I'll keep that in mind for when Master wishes to correct me."

As both masochists began to speak about theoretical ways for you to 'punish' them, you tested out your weapon on different clankers and monsters. While it could scratch and pierce the less armored clank types, even making a standard clank become immobile if you managed to wrap the whip around its legs, the Laevantein's true strength was against softer targets.

Brutally charring and slicing most types of monsters was its specialty, almost instantly making most slimes dissolve with a mere touch of its magical flame.
