I was grimacing hatefully towards my Lilith, holding my tongue on the verge of ripping her a new one. Even if this was for our future kids, there were better ways of doing things like this.
My god, they are not even born yet, and I am already getting screwed over.
"Get some, Bro!" Sigfried hollered shamelessly. Cleo's face was as bright as a summer's wine by his side. Covering her mouth, her pupils shrunk while Kurt snorted in response, shooting her a subtle glance.
"Do you two not get tired of this?" Yu Jing scornfully uttered entirely crossed at Lilith, saddling me with her thick juicy body. "It's disgusting."
Looking down on me, Lilith pursed her lips bitterly, shifting her gaze towards Yu Jing. She sneered, "I have a video of you grinding on three random men. If I didn't know better, I would say you are disgusting."
Yu Jing fell silent and cold at Lilith's words.
Not staying a word, I patted Lilith's soft ass, which in turn arose carrying a longing stare, I chose to ignore along with my raging blood, tracing my gaze over Yu Jing, who had taken a half step back. I turned to Little Arkanos, who didn't dare speak, much less meet my eye.
Is it due to my bloodline?
Running Abyssal Night Qi through my veins and blood, the ever fearful glint began to fade away from Arkanos, leaving a worshiping gaze I could not understand.
'Dragons love domination, Sene.' whispered Lilith without the use of her lips. 'They are a power-dominated society, and simply by your blood, you tore down her willpower.'
Yu Jing is a dragon. Does that mean she, too, is like Arkanos?
Focussing my gaze upon the other dragon in this little band of Chosen, the dots began to connect as I noticed Yu Jing's softer gaze. There was a bit of apprehension, bordering dread, but not as much as Arkanos. She had far better control over her baser urges.
"I think we deserve an explanation now." Kurt suddenly demanded. Standing grimly by his brother and sister in arms, he appeared somewhat confident. "You drugged and humiliated us."
"Tell me, Kurt, if a man was to slit the throat of your family in cold blood, would you expect a reasonable explanation? You were collateral plain and simple, but why the hell are you bringing it up now? It's been what? Seven Years."
'You!' Cleo suddenly bellowed, growing pale. "How can you be so... So-So-so."
I narrowed my eyes, having nothing but contempt for the faces of three who could not believe what I stated. However, the only one who did not appear to mind was Yu Jing, probably already knowing what type of person I was.
"Lesson learn, right?" I mocked, with a bit of self-ridicule, "If you see a stranger be more on guard. Life is a bitch. Look at me; my wife just screwed me over for Seven Years."
Gritting his teeth, Kurt shuttered with a force that thinned the air around us. The winds began to rage, and the earth began to tremble.
Arching my head, a grin of that of a devil traced over my lips. His heart was in torment. Peering deep into his soul, I could hear his screams, the betrayal that seemed to brand his soul: The death of his mother, the torment of his father. It all laid bare for me to see and control.
(A/N: I will be using Mortal Dao a lot from now on.)
"Screw you!" He roared in an otherworldly howled with a viscous flash of azure light. Sending out a ruthless palm into the air, an enormous phantom fist flickered through the air like a speeding bullet. It was fast, almost close to the speed of light holding the power that could kill a World Protector in a single hit.
However, I did not feel a sense of danger, much less concern towards the incoming fist. Flushing my body with a bit of Qi, I raised my hand as a powerful explosion echoed like thunder and lightning upon the land.
Not even moving an inch, a wave of control and contempt filled my gaze.
Even if I was not at full power, I was immune to everything at World Saint, and with the help of my Abyssal Night, it was going to take far more than the power of what Kurt displaced to injure me.
"Why not use that spear of yours, Kurt?" I devilishly commanded, seeing both his past and present. At Demi-God, he was easy picking for me, a soul bender to see into him.
Clenching my fist, a supreme trace of an almighty pressure cloaking over my body, a gift from my brother. It does leave the question, though. Bringing Vancurro and me back to life, using some impossible technique than giving us these bodies. What exactly did you give up?
Sigfried, Kurt, Cleo, and Yu Jing stared, a solemn grimace appearing upon their face. I was, after all, still within the realm of World, yet I blocked an attack of a Demi-God. Even if it was a weak one, tanking such an attack so easily put them a bit on edge, and rightfully so.
Aside from my body being so mighty in defense, my mind was quicker, giving a far better reaction edge. But the most significant change was my comprehension. Truck-Kun had blessed me with greater understanding, but it was at a mortal level, in my opinion. Now, however, I think I can grasp some truly destructive devil and demon techniques.
"Why don't we all relax?" Lilith suddenly interfered, stepping in between Kurt and myself. She smiled a little innocently, attempting to lower the rising tension in the air.
"Move," Sigried of all people commanded with a bloodthirsty smile, "Such power! Let's have a go!"
"I could not agree more." I voice, opening my hands watching the Spear of Noctem pass-through space into my hands in a mist of ethereal darkness. Twirling Noctem between my fingers, a horrific killing intent stormed the air, bringing upon the screams that should only belong to the depts of hell.
"Sene, only less than five percent of your total Qi has returned. Chill. And Sig, he just woke up. The two of you can kill each other after Sene recovers."
Damn her! Let me have a little fun!
Consumed by the glow of night, a cooling chill devoid of Dao and Qi pressed softly against my fresh. Letting go of the control of my body that seemed to reject everything, I chanted the Path of Abyssal Night, absorbing all I could.
It was the only weakness I had. Controlling the Path of Abyssal Night took a lot of mental energy; even with how powerful my mind had grown, maintaining control of my body was now already annoying, and adding my Cultivation Mantra made it even harder. It was a little of one or the other. This made it a little hard to recover Qi, but not impossible. All I needed was souls to supply me with endless Qi.
Opening my gaze towards the loving embrace of Tenebrae, a sigh escaped my lips. "Two days of recovery. It's hard to believe all the souls Lilith gave me while unconscious burned away, leaving only a bare core."
Rising from off the barren ground destroyed by my body's power, my almighty aura began to recede into my bones, ready to explode at a moment's notice.
"Will you truly allow the Abyssal One to harm you!' Aegis wrongly accused, "For years: we were tormented, years we were forced to remained in a prison of despair."
Scuffing at the very shady words of this bastard, I sneered disdainfully. "I do not need you to tell me how I need to train my wife. She will receive her just punishment however I deem fit."
"You are now a Prince of Noctem, carrying the Spear of Noctem, yet you will lower your head?"
Disregarding Aegis and the chill trying to penetrate my mind and body. A breath of pure Abssyal darkness flowed from my lips, quelling the rage that was burning within me.
I was indeed angry. Pissed even that Lilith did not bother asking me, but instead did this, but not enough to screw her over, at least not that badly.
Hooking The Spear of Noctem upon my back, a soothing hum calmed the agitation within my mind. Taking my leave from the little garden, Lilith had crafted for me. A small little camp came into my view. Sending a quick glance of the embers of the fire and the silence in the air. I figured everyone was asleep.
Glancing around for Lilith, I narrowed my gaze at her disappearance. I did not use our connections to find her but instead stepped past the sleeping campers following the scent of freshwater.
'So he is awake? That's a good thing.' Said the familiar voice of Aiza, surprising me.
Cloaking my body in darkness, I moved in silence, not even making an imprint upon the snow.
'Are my orders still to follow A-Arsene?' Yu Jing hesitantly inquired, a little unsure of herself.
'Don't tell me you have fallen for him," Aiza mocked so loud I could imagine the disdainful look within her eyes.
'Of course not!' Yu Jing hastily replied, "Its Arkanos. She loves him dearly."
"Pull yourself together, Jing. You cannot get so involved. Look what happened when you let your guard drop? You almost became under someone's thrall, and you were drugged. You need to be focused now more than ever, especially here in the Vally of Karsa."
Approaching silently, my gaze fell upon the solemn expression of Yu Jing and the cold expression of Aiza scolding her disciple. Hiding behind a tree for extra measure, Aiza continued.
"The Vally of Karsa was named after a powerful abomination of a serpent. Karsa the Corrupted Snake. She is a Mid Tier God, so do be careful if she chooses to awaken. We cannot afford to have anything else go wrong. How much longer till you return to the holy city?"
"Soon!" I suddenly shouted, startling Yu Jing where she stood. Chuckling at her hand, gripping her sword, I continued, "Good to see you again, Lady Aiza."
"I would imagine it would be,"
Mockingly smiling, I nodded, "Indeed."
She stared hard, tracing her gaze over my body, trying to find something, "When?"
"I just recovered, so daybreak when everyone will be up. Although, I am now quite interested in this Karsa. Who is she to you?" I curiously asked, feeling like Aiza would not bring up a monster's territory if it weren't necessary.
Chilling her face enough to freeze fire, Aiza cut the connection. However, her reaction held two meanings to me. One Aiza screwed over Karsa; the other is that she wished for me to find her and was using her disiple to bait me.
"How long were you listening?" Yu Jing coldly sought.
"So you like Arkanos, huh?" I uttered, taking a quick peek into her soul, which was slowly beginning to be swallowed with doubt. I didn't intend to use Arkanos like this, but who knew she would grow on Yu Jing. Guess her cuteness is the ultimate KO.
"I don't." She claimed without missing a beat. Knowing she was lying to someone who specializes in deceit—foolish little girl.
Shaking my head, I did not push her, for I already knew the truth, "Can you tell me of Karsa?"
"Never heard of her," Yu Jing suspiciously replied, glancing down at the remote little pond bright silver under the glow of the moon.
She was telling the truth. How disappointing.
Turning around, I waved, "Night." Taking my leave with the smooth blow of the wind, I continued with the intent to find Lilith.
It was not my intention to stock my wife but desperate times. She really needed to be watched and monitored. Screw trust. She is too crazy for that.
A little surprised and suspicious, I did not get lost from circling our camp; a wave of anxiety pressed against my heart.
"My God, do I have PTSD?"
Cursing my luck, I approached the dark, fleeting embers near the camp. Flicking my fingers, I relit the fire, pulling out a few pots.
Morning light was coming, and I had not eaten the lovely Sophia. This will be my apology to everyone. I am so kind as expected of the second coming. May my light shine over these peons. It is not every day they will see heaven through my eyes.
"Eggs and Steak. A little heavy for the morning, but this should be quite enriching for a growing girl like Arkanos and a potential baby... No, screw that! No food for Lili!
