Chapter 108: The Flame of Restoration

The drunken ogre has been aimlessly wandering the empty street of Alsen for hours ever since leaving the House of the Mane. Seeing how intoxicated Teran was, Ectharen was hesitant to let his old friend walk home on his own, yet, under Teran's own insistence, the beastman finally relented. Still, that was more than two hours ago. Although promised his friend he would head straight home, the ogre found himself unable to do such a simple task, for after learning what had happened to his beloved Hana and experiencing the hatred his own son directed at him, he wondered what, then, awaited him back at his cold, dark apartment. What, then, would he still be living and fighting for?

「How pathetic am I?」Teran questioned himself before bust out laughing like a maniac.

「You!!!」A familiar voice screamed, abruptly disrupting Teran's outburst.「It's really you now, isn't it, Teran!!! You cursed mutant!!!」

「You're Euge…」Before Teran could respond, the man lunged with his knife in hand.

「Hana died because of you!」Eugen cried out.「Had she not met you, she'd still be here with us.」Although the ogre could easily dodge the attack, the mention of Hana caused him to freeze in place. A sharp pain quickly spread as he felt the piercing knife thrusted into his flesh torso.

「... I… I didn't mean to…」Teran frowned. His hand held onto his bleeding wound.

「Just die!!!」Eugene pulled his knife back before kicking the struggling orge down onto the pavement. Looking down at the orge, the man shed some tears remembering his beloved Hana before ending his own life with the same knife by slashing his throat open. Much like Teran, the man has been living for years in misery, not knowing what his purpose in life was, until this very night, when he had decided that the only reason he lived was to avenge Hana by killing the mercenary that indirectly led her to her death.

「Eugene… you… maybe you're right… Maybe death is what I deserve… but at least…」Teran struggled to stand up despite blood gushing out from his stomach wound.「at least… I want to die…somewhere close… to my son… This world should at least grant me such wish, right?」

The hybrid slowly opened his eyes after his warm, soft pillow that had been squirming around for another ten minutes or so.

「Morning, Yuusei chan」Kibadios greeted the mutant hybrid that laid on his side next to him with a smile. Much like his other sisters and brothers in the harem, the mutant half-ogre's smooth gray skin was fully covered in spots of red hickeys. One of his nipples was now currently being sucked on by his master while the other was kneaded by his master's rough fingers. His master's thick, erected cock had been parking inside Yuusei's hole ever since he last released his load and fell asleep right afterward. Though, as morning came, his throbbing rod of flesh began to be reinvigorated again, grinding its shaft against Yuusei's sensitive fleshy wall.

「Morning… Haaa…. Master!」Yuusei, who was still in his adult form, greeted the hybrid. 「How….haaa… Master's….ahhh… sleep?」

「Thanks to you…」Kibadios paused his answer, pressed his mouth and sucked hard on Yuusei's breast, then biting onto the mutant's trembling nipple before letting it go. 「I slept very comfortably.」Kibadios slowly slid his cock out of Yuusei's asshole before sitting up. Yuusei was going to follow his master, but Kibadios quickly pressed him down and kept him laying on top of the bed.

「Master?」asked Yuusei, seeing how his master was now crawling on top of his body. Kibadios' naked ass sat on the mutant's chest, letting his thick cock dripping with precum resting on top of the mutant's face.

「Can you help me with my morning wood?」Kibadios asked.

「Of course!」Yuusei eagerly nodded before devoting all his attention to sniffing, licking and pleasuring his master's cock. Though it was not long until Kibadios became more aggressive as his heat took over his sleepy mind. After telling Yuusei to open his mouth, the incubus hybrid leaned forward, abruptly thrust his oversized cock deep past the unsuspecting mutant's lips. Although Yuusei has taken his Master's cock inside his mouth many times, the mutant still instinctively gagged on the thick cock as he felt the tip of the cock penetrating the very back of his throat.

「Haaa… Your mouth feels so gooooodddd, Yuu chan!!!」As if he had allowed his incubus instinct to take over, Kibadios' hands were now grabbing Yuusei's hair from behind his back and violently pressing the mutant's head against his crotch. As his body spasmed, Yuusei's cock slowly rose up and twitched crazily in midair, spurting out precum while his Master skullfucked him in a trance-like stage.

CREEKKK…

「Kibadios sama, you're awake?」Ryuu, who had woken up the earliest, walked into the room. The dragonoid had just taken his morning shower so he was completely naked, saved for the large towel wrapping around his hair. Seeing his Master, the dragonoid's tail started to wag uncontrollably, spraying droplets of water all over the room.「Aww, you're so lucky, Yuu chan. You get to taste Master's cock first thing in the morning.」

Ryuu quickly made his way toward the two hybrids and lowered his mouth onto Yuusei's twitching cock. With his senpai skillfully slurping away his precum, the dragonoid's wet tongue swirling and wrapping around his cock while Kibadios slamming his cock down the mutant's throat, it did not take long for Yuusei to finally climax, releasing his fresh cum inside Ryuu's thirsty mouth. Knowing what his Master would like him to do, Ryuu stood up and pulled Kibadios in for a kiss, allowing him to share Yuusei's hot cum with his Master. Although normally, it would take Kibadios at least fifteen minutes to climax, the intense heat he was under, in combination with Yuusei's cum and tight throat, allowed the incubus hybrid to reach orgasm and shoot his loads down the mutant's throat. This was somewhat fortunate for Yuusei, too, for the boy had almost reached his limit and almost passed out due to asphyxiation.

「Haaa…aa…. Thanks, Yuu chan.」Kibadios finally pulled his cock out of Yuusei's throat, before bending down and kissed him on the cheek.「Sorry that it might have been too rough on you… It's just… I was just in a zone…」

「Yuusei's fine, Master.」The weakened boy shook his head.「Yuusei belongs to Master. Yuusei happy Master satisfied.」

「Still…」Kibadios caressed the mutant's cheek.「I should have controlled myself better… How about I reward you with some pleasure in the shower?」

「Yeah, I was going to let you know that the bath I drew for you is ready, Master.」

「Perfect!」Kibadios pulled Ryuu in for another kiss.「Thank you, my Ryuu chan.」

「Hihi!」The dragonoid grinned proudly.

「Now, let's go, Yuusei?」The hybrid stood up on the floor and carried Yuusei on his arm toward the adjacent bathroom.

「Morning, Ryuu chan!」As soon as Kibadios and Yuusei were out of the room, the naked former hero finally woke up from the commotion and greeted the dragonoid.

「Morning Senpai!」Ryuu reciprocated.

「Big problem Bosssssuuuu!!!」Uri violently kicked the door down and rushed inside Kibadios' house. Wrapped around the shoulder of the vice captain was the almost lifeless body of Teran. By now, the orge was looking as white as a ghost since he had lost almost half his blood.「Aren't Maia and Rowan healers in your party?? Is there any way they can treat Teran?」

「Uri? What's wrong?」Sitting on the sofa in the guestroom, Ren turned his head to the Vice captain, before realizing the half dead man Uri had just brought with him.「Wait, isn't that Teran? Yuusei chan's father? What happened?」

「I don't know. I planned to come here to see the Boss but I found Teran lying unconscious outside. Someone must have ambushed him in the night.」Uri explained.「Where are Rowan or Maia?」

「What's going on?」Kibadios, along with Yuusei, came out from the bathroom.

「Uri found Teran gravely injured just outside the house.」Ren informed his Master.

「Teran?」Yuusei twitched. Both him and Kibadios rushed to Uri to lay Teran down onto the sofa. The mutant ogre weakly grunted, opened his eyes for a moment to look at his son one last time.

「Yuu… seii…」Teran's hands shakingly reached out to the shocked mutant hybrid.「This… is… not a dream… right? I'm… sorry… for everything I caused…」

「Teran…」Yuusei muttered.

「... Please… forgive me… and I hope you… can live your life as you… wish… with Kibadios… by your side.」With a smile on his face, Teran finally let out his last breath as his consciousness succumbed to darkness.

「「What's going on?」」By now everyone had gathered around the sofa.

「He's gone...」Uri sorrowfully declared.

「Teran… Father?」The sudden turn of events finally dawned on Yuusei. Just yesterday, he had unleashed his unjustified anger at the man, then decided to mend his relationship with the ogre after his Master had talked to him. Yet, now, it was all too late. Seeing his last living relative lying dead in front of his eyes, emotions that the mutant ogre has tried to suppress for years, ever since the death of his mother, began to resurface.

「Mas… Master…」Yuusei reached out to Kibadios in desperation.「Is there… is there anyway we can …」Yuusei wanted to say "revive him", but having heard what Kibadios explained about life and death, the mutant knew too well such a feat was impossible. Yuusei's body started to shake, regrets quickly overwhelmed his mind.

「...」Kibadios said nothing since he was deep in thought. The hybrid then turned to Rowan, who was trying to console Yuusei.「Maybe… if it's Rowan…」

「What about me?」The "healer" turned around, looking at Kibadios puzzlingly.

「Remember what I told you before, Rowan chan. About your special ability and power?」Kibadios reminded the healer.「With your control over temporal elements, maybe… there's a slim chance you may be able to bring him back if you can rewind the time he experienced.」

「You're right… but I have never tried…」

. Try on him. But the trick is that you have to be able to wind back time much further than just 30 minutes, since I doubt that reverting his body to the state he was in 30 minutes ago would change his fate… It needs to be at least a few hours, to when his wound was treatable.」

「... I understand, Master.」Rowan patted on Yuusei's shoulder.「I will try my best to bring your father back, Yuusei chan!」

「Rowan nii chan…」

「Flame of Restoration? What's that?」Uri, the only outsider in the group, obliviously asked.

「Ahh, my dear Vice Captain.」Kibadios creepingly placed his arm around Uri's shoulder, pulling the Vice captain closer to him, before continued with a veiled threat.「Whatever you hear and see in this room just now… will never be revealed to the world, do you understand me?」

「Haa… I don't know why you're acting so threatening, Boss… but sure…」Uri sweated

「If you ever break this promise… I'll turn you into my mate as a punishment.」Kibadios grinned.

「Man… I feel like I shouldn't have come here this morning.」Uri nervously laughed.

!!!!」Rowan raised his arm in front of the lifeless mutant ogre, before unleashing his power. A green flame slowly enveloped the man's body, before burning brightly. Strangely, instead of the heat one would expect from such an intense flame like this, what emitting from the green flame was only a soothing warm air that refreshed everyone standing around Rowan.

「This is ?」Ren asked

「This feeling… I can tell this ability is something really incredible.」The blind princess commented.

Most others were too mesmerized by the flame to be able to utter anything. At first, nothing seemed to happen to Teran, leading Kibadios to believe that such an attempt at reviving the dead was truly outside the realm of possibility just like he had thought, even for someone who possessed the like Rowan. Yet, suddenly, Yuusei was the first to notice a twitch from Teran's finger, before the mutant ogre's movement and grunt became clear.

「... I can't believe it… Teran is… actually revived?」Uri was unsure of what was happening.

「This…」Ryuu excitedly spoke up.「this power of yours is incredible, Rowan senpai.」

「Ugghhh… haaa」

「Mmm….」Rowan jerked, trying to keep the flame alive. Droplets of sweat could be seen rolling down his cheeks and neck.

「Rowan chan… try your best to maintain the flame.」Kibadios encouraged the green haired teenager.

「I understand, Master…」Rowan nodded.

As the flame continued to burn, Teran continued to experience time flowing backward on his body. The orge was now fully conscious.「This is… I thought I… Arghh…」The open wound still prevented Teran from effectively communicating.

「More, Rowan… Just a bit more」Maia, who was studying the severity of the wound, encouraged Rowan to keep the flame burning, for she knew Rowan had not yet rewind time to the point she could treat Teran effectively.

「Rowan chan… you can do it.」Kibadios patted Rowan's head. Knowing his Master believed in him, the healer burst through his limit and ignited the Flame ever brighter, leading to the time being reverted even faster than before.

「Haa… I'm sorry but that's the best I can do…」After keeping the flame burning for another minute, Rowan finally collapsed, which caused the Flame to be quickly extinguished. Thankfully, Teran was now in a state which could be effectively healed by Maia's potions.

「You did well, Rowan chan. Just rest for now.」Kibadios carried the half unconscious healer back to the bedroom. I can't believe it… Rowan could really control Time, to the point he could bring back the dead by reverting the time they experience… This power is not of this world. If the Astrals know he possesses such power, they will undoubtedly come after him. Kibadios thought to himself.

「I thought I had died.」Teran, now resting on a bed after being treated by Maia, spoke to his son.

「Rowan nii chan brought you back.」The mutant explained.「Don't let others know」His tone turned threatening.

「Rowan? A member of Kibadios' group?」Teran tried to recall the name.「He saved my life. If he doesn't want others to know, of course I would not disclose it to anyone. Still, Kailos' son is really something else, being able to gather such individuals around him, from the dragonoid named Ryuu to this Rowan.」

「Of course! Master's the best!」

「Yuusei…」Teran looked at the mutant.「Can I take the fact that you're here with me means you've forgiven me?」

「Master talked to Yuusei.」The mutant hybrid explained.「He told Yuusei that Yuusei should be grateful to you… without you, there no Yuusei… and Yuusei cannot meet Master and be with him.」

「I see…」Teran smiled in relief.「... Can I ask you something, Yuusei?」

「What?」

「Why do you speak in third person?」

「Yuusei's the precious name Master gave.」The mutant explained the mystery that might or might not have perplexed a few readers of the web novel.「Yuusei want to use the name Master gave as much as possible.」

「Yeah… it's a really nice name… You must love Kibadios a lot, huh?」

「Master's Yuusei's everything!!」The mutant exclaimed.

「... I'm glad…」Seeing how much Kailos' son meant to his mutant son, Teran choked up for it reminded him how he felt about Hana.「that you found someone you love and can devote your life to, Yuusei.」

「So, this is the Dungeon's entrance.」Kailos pointed at the ginormous obelisk standing at the center of the settlement. After putting Rowan to rest and ensuring Teran was properly treated, Kibadios had left his house with Ryuu, Yue, and Ren to meet up with his father. The ogre had promised Kibadios yesterday to show him the Dungeon where the Trial would take place.

「Ho?」Kibadios studied the unusual obelisk. The hybrid could feel a strange aura emitting from it.

「Master… this place doesn't feel right.」Ryuu could also feel it.

「... Nii sama… Why does this Dungeon…」

「Yeah, I know what you mean… it's just like the constant presence we felt back at our Royal Palace.」

「Why is there a Dungeon right in the middle of Alsen?」Kibadios asked.

「Technically, it's not that the Dungeon is in the middle of Alsen. Rather, it's Alsen that was built around this Dungeon.」Kailos corrected.

「Really? But why?」

「Nobody knows… This settlement was founded a long time ago, so the real reason was certainly lost in time. But, I just assumed it's because this Dungeon is located at the center of 7 hills so our ancestors just wanted to build a settlement around it and use the 7 hills as a natural barrier to protect it.」

「... Is it really the reason though…」Kibadios muttered.「Oh right, have you decided who would accompany me for this trial?」

「Is it going to be you, Kailos dono?」Ryuu asked

「No, unfortunately, with both the Heads of the other two houses participating, it's better for me to stay here to protect Alsen just in case, instead of going with Kibadios into the Dungeon」Explained Kailos.「But don't worry, I have asked someone really reliable to be your partner in this Trial.」

「And who will it be?」Kibadios asked.

「Oh, it's gonna be me!」answered Gyo, in a totally not a reference to NSYNC's song, even though it was kinda clear since this very chapter was released in May.

Bonus: Jayden x Lance (Lance's dream. It's an erotic dream that Lance has as he felt asleep next to Jayden.)
