The sound of clanging tal could be heard from a large clearing in the middle of the forest.
Within it, a newly quasi-god Lucia was playing with her equally new strength against the hands of her family.
After her breakthrough, these were practically the only people in the cult outside of their family whom she could hope to engage in a contest like this without fear of hurting them.
If Lucia had no difficulty wielding her enormous nine ringed sword before, now it was as if she was swinging around half a feather.
She could really pick up another sword if she wanted...
However, she was able to recognize that doing so may very well compromise the integrity of the art she had already begun to master.
Lucia, like Taira, was a graceful fighter.
Her body swirled like a gentle breeze, but carried twice the destructive force of a hurricane.
The wind pressure alone from her swings continued to keep Shakti and Vaal at bay as if they were toddlers scared of roaring fla.
Though this was supposed to be a friendly and inconsequential little exercise, it felt more and more like they were fighting for their lives.
Honestly, was there anything that could get them out of this unfair and dangerous situation?!
"Whew! Thanks for helping shake off so of my rust, guys!" Lucia suddenly stopped out of nowhere and buried her sword in the ground.
She looked perfectly healthy and unbothered. Her hair hadn't even co out of place from how she styled it this morning.
anwhile, Shakti was sweating like a pig and Vaal was covered head to toe in dust.
Not to ntion the fact that both of the were panting like they'd just run a full marathon.
Despite their exhaustion, the two of them still sohow managed to raise their arms to cup their fists.
""T-Thank you for the spar, my lady...""
Nearby, Aya and Keran were watching this entire scene while in the company of Enyo.
"Wow… Strong, capable, attractive… you've sohow ended up with so very desireable bedfellows, my daughter." Aya whistled before glancing at her side. "..And that one too I suppose."
Enyo as always was reclining backwards comfortably and half asleep. Her usual ssy black hair thick thighs were on full display.
She half-heartedly raised a brow at the werewolf fallen's unprovoked and rude comnt.
"And what exactly is that supposed to an, mother-in-law?"
"… I'm just going to say it, I don't see Taira's attraction." Aya shrugged.
"Mom!" Keran pinched her mother hard on the side.
"I'm just being honest! I've almost never seen her with her hair combed, and she could perhaps stand to lose a bit of weight as well."
"MOM!"
"I'm just making an observation!"
"Observation my tails! You're being rude!"
"Not intentionally!"
"Bull. Shit!"
While the two were arguing, Enyo yawned uncaringly as she looked down at herself.
It was true that she was once quite insecure about her body, but her husband seed to be fond of her more plump figure.
Have you any idea how hard it is to be insecure about your body when a being who is literally made for sex lays you bare and ravages you for whole days at a ti?
… No? Well, it's a very difficult thing to accomplish.
Enyo rested her head on Keran's shoulder and shut her eyes.
"It sounds to like you're just upset my husband finds my figure more appealing than yours. Envy doesn't look very good on you, Aya."
Keran snickered while her mother seed to be fuming.
"Y-You take that back, you oaf!"
"Will doing that make my words any less true?"
Finally, Lucia trotted over to the group while looking just as adorable as a newborn faun.
"I hope you guys weren't too busy chatting over here to pay attention to . Did I look impressive?"
Keran smiled innocently as if she hadn't just called her mother a 'bitter old sow' right before this conversation began.
"You were indeed very impressive, dear. Our husband will be quite elated to see your improvent yet again."
"Ehehehehe…" Lucia giggled cutely- her mind already addled with dreamy fantasies both G-rated and X-rated.
Aya grumbled to herself about regretting not having more children and suddenly stood up.
"Are you done with them?" She pointed to Shakti and Vaal. "I'm suddenly in dire need of sothing to hit."
"Erm… Sure, but let them rest first. I think I might've been too hard on them." Lucia only started to feel guilty once she watched Vaal have to be supported by Shakti.
"They'll be fine…and if they aren't, it isn't as if you don't have more clan mbers to pick from." Aya grumbled.
She lumbered forward and went to the two high ranking cult mbers before anyone could stop her.
"…I should probably break that up before it gets too bad, right?"
"You could…" Enyo shrugged as she patted her chest. "Or you could just co and lay down with ."
"…"
"…"
"… I'm sure they'll be fine." Read exclusive content at мѵʟ
Just like that, Lucia abandoned her two loyal servants and crawled onto the large rock between the girls.
Dragons can sleep just about anywhere at any ti, and for long periods of ti at that, so Lucia and Enyo had beco a lot closer recently.
Using Enyo's breasts as a pillow, Lucia relaxed imdiately as she felt a wave of comfort take her that was comparable to a mother's embrace.
Evidently, she was more tired than she thought she was.
It took very little ti before her eyes eventually beca heavy, and she felt herself dozing off.
In her dreams, Lucia envisioned herself floating within a space that felt eerily familiar to her.
Just as she was trying to place where she'd seen it before, a familiar voice cleared up most any lingering confusion.
"Little Lucia. It's been quite a while, hasn't it?"
Lucia glanced above her head and found an entity floating above her whom she didn't recognize.
However, that extrely distinctive voice of his was one she couldn't mistake even if she wanted to.
"Uncle Abaddon!"
'Uncle..?' The black dragon chuckled.
Once he floated down in front of her, Lucia began poking him all over as if he were a pincushion.
"What happened to you? You left so abruptly last ti that I didn't get a chance to ask you anything else. And what happened to your hair and skin? Is this gonna happen to too when I mature??"
Even though Lucia was an adult by human standards, in dragon society she would be considered sothing like a baby since she is less than a few hundred years old.
So it was understandable that now that she was eting an elder of her species, she had lots of questions to ask.
And to his credit, Abaddon did answer every one patiently and with great amusent.
But since she did have quite a few, it was a while before he actually got to announce his reasoning for coming here.
"I t your husband."
"Eh? Really??"
Abaddon nodded. "Truth be told, I was going to collect sothing from him. The blood of the creature he drank doesn't belong in this world and my responsibility is to put them back where they belong. But…"
"But?" Lucia raised a brow curiously.
"At present, he doesn't appear to pose a danger to the stability of the realm. Nor does the blood seem to retain it's forr personality."
Lucia smiled gratefully which in turn seed to make Abaddon mirror it.
"Your family is quite special, Lucia. I'm anxious to see what you all will accomplish in your lifeti. And because of that, I've given you all a little sothing as proof of my interest."
Lucia imdiately looked intrigued. "Really? What is it?"
-
Taira slowly opened his eyes after having the worst headache / fever dream of his life.
As his vision beca unfoggy, he looked down at the two liter glass bottle sitting between his feet.
It was filled with a strange multicolored liquid, and just with one look stairs could tell it was miraculous.
A small white card was placed just on top of the wooden lid.
There was no na or long explanation on the card. Just a simple statent and a well wish.
I'm a really big fan of cultivators, you know? Consider this blood your 'golden finger'.
