chapter 93 - Scarlet

The beautiful scarlet-haired woman who was carrying an infant within her arms quickly held it tightly trying to shield it from the man in front of her.

"Where am I!? Tell me!?"

Caelum was just stunned looking at her body and the unstable draconic energy radiating from her as her form would collapse any minute.

He knew that Irene lived for so many years as a dragon, yearning to become human again, she even thought of using her daughter to be her new body but in the end couldn't do it.

Caelum dragon pride was screaming to kill the person responsible for reducing the dragon race to this. But alas he may not be able to visit there for a while.

"Ah sorry about that, I was just to stunt to see a beautiful woman."

"You dare flirt with me!? I demand tell me who you are and what are your intention."

Even in a weakened state, Irene still able to hold her own, but she worried about her newborn infant to be harmed by this person. Though she planned to use her to become human again, Irene couldn't bring herself to do it, that when the light came, and she appeared before Caelum.

"Calm down, it appears that you have just given birth. You would have already been dead if I had bad intentions."

"…."

"Now then…"

Using his vital manipulation and angel embrace he instantly revitalized them, which made the infant laugh. Causing Irene to look at her. She looked at Caelum as if giving all of her resolve.

"Then please take my daughter! I don't know if I can hold myself."

"I see, a human who has a dragon seed and draconic energy, but your human nature is in constant battle with it."

Irene was shocked to see someone that was able to instantly see that she was a dragon, which shocked her down to her very core. Oddly enough she was calm, and her mental state was constantly fixing itself.

"H-How do you know that I'm a dragon!?"

"Your smell is leaking and the energy around you is constantly changing by the minute. You are not able to hold your form, right?"

"Wait, do you how to make me human again? I will do anything, please make me human again!!"

"Jeez don't yell at me! First of all, tell me your name, I am Caelum Mercer."

"...I-Irene Belserion."

"Nice name, but before I help you become human, I'll call someone to take care of your child. Sakuya, Yuri."

As he said their names, they appeared behind him shocking Irene. Caelum was constantly suppressing his powers, but his lovers couldn't fully hide their powers, especially since he had made them Dragon Gods. Irene's dragon instincts screamed at her not to anger them.

"Sakuya, Yuri, can you take this woman and her child to the kingdom, make sure to feed them and provide new sets of clothing."

"As you wish, master."

Irene was hesitant to follow them, but forced herself knowing full well what would happen if she were to resist. He looked at Caelum one last time.

"Don't worry, I promise you that your suffering is over."

She only nodded and followed the maids, leaving Caelum in the grimoire with Crimsyn. Caelum then trained inside his grimoire for a few days, in those time he took the two guardian beasts' virginities as their reward for the world pills.

[A/N: Sorry I can't write lemons when there recently been one.]

"Can you make a pill of Earth?"

Laying on the bed with the two beautiful women beside him. Caelum asked because he doesn't know if the system would allow such a cheat.

"Yes master, we can refine this world into a world pill if you want."

"Yeah, we could spend more time with our sisters!"

"I see, then next time find a way to refine it."

Caelum finished his time inside the grimoire and went to visit Irene who was wearing casual clothing in a room, looking at the window while her child on a crib. She sensed Caelum arriving and greeted him but still maintained her wariness.

"You don't have to be wary of me."

"…I'll take my chances."

Caelum moved towards the young infant which made Irene move to try and protect her daughter, but to her surprise the infant was smiling and happy as she was held by him.

"Such a beautiful child. Have you decided on a name for her?"

"No…."

Irene said bitterly as she at first wished to use her as a new body, but now guilt was drowning her heart. The affect of angel embrace still lingers calming her down.

"How about…Erza, Erza Scarlet Belserion? Do you like that name, little Erza?"

The baby who heard the name giggled happily in response, making Irene feel a warm sensation seeing her daughter happy. Caelum then sat on a chair next to Irene bed.

"Here, hold her."

Irene was hesitant at first, fearing her obsession to become human again would consume her but to her surprise nothing of such impulse was rising.

"You wish to remain a human for her right?"

"YES! I want to be human and be with my child!"

"Alright, you would be training with me from now own. I can instantly make you human, but I want you to also grow stronger."

"Thank you. I'll make sure to grow strong for my child."

Tear fall from her face as she tightened her embrace on her child who was smiling at her. The possibility of becoming human and being with her child was enough.

Caelum who was watching this smiled, and thought about the possibility of his own flesh and blood. He would likely spoil them to no end.

"Then, I'll leave you now."

Caelum decided to leave the mother and child alone, when he left, he saw Sapphire and Cereza. He instantly kissed them, making the woman accept it.

"What are you doing here?"

"Nothing we just want to meet Irene and little Erza."

"Darling, when will we have a child of our own!?"

He thought hard about when to have a child. Caelum doesn't want to bring his children on his journeys, but he doubts his lovers could wait that long.

Even he desires to have a child as early as possible. He decided to have a child after they visit and conquer the next world.

"Alright, but you owe me a twin darling!"

"Me too!"

"….Alright."

The two women were happy to hear his reply and can't help but wait to tell their other 'sisters'. Caelum sweated about the possibility of all his lovers having bulging stomachs.

[A/N: God I hate this term, but I couldn't find a better one to describe his harem]

"Putting that aside, have you seen Tiamat?"

The two looked at him intently as if saying 'really?', Caelum thought hard for a moment then he recalled where she was.

"Shit! She's in my Gate of Babylon!"

He quickly went inside his Babylon leaving the two women giggling at their lover's antics. They both visited Irene who was surprised to see two beautiful women that radiate power.

"Who are you?"

"Well, we're the lovers of the man who you just talked to, earlier."

Irene was surprised that the man had gorgeous lovers, that's why he didn't have any lust within his gaze. Despite appreciating it, her womanly pride was hit and felt a bit jealous for some reason.

She thought of the bastard who was once her husband and how he had abandoned her with his own child. Anger was the only remaining thing she has when she thinks of that man.

The two women felt sympathetic towards Irene who had a rough life, she was someone who wanted peace, but such thing is unachievable regardless of how strong someone is.

Sapphire lived long enough to know that such thing is nothing but a lie. It's a law that peace will eventually lead to war which birth a new era. It's the law of Chaos.

"Irene, you don't have to worry, because now you have a second chance in life."

"H-How do you know my name?"

Sapphire told who she was and how Irene's fate would lead without Caelum interference. It would be pointless to hide the truth from her.

Irene became conflicted knowing her future would lead to fighting her own daughter but smiled as her daughter became a strong woman. She looked at the child in her arms that one day will become a strong fighter.

"My little Titania, mother will be always with you."

_______________________________

Caelum arrive within his unlimited number of treasures. He once spread his senses to find the scale of the inside and found that it was truly infinite.

His Gate of Babylon, is like Achilles' paradox, in which there is an immeasurable amount of space yet still contains infinite.

Walking around inside, he found a beautiful dragon sleeping on a mountain pile of gold coins.

The dragon opened its eyes after sensing something she treasures the most and found Caelum, she instantly transformed into a human form before hugging him.

"Youngling why did you visit? Does Liliena need more training?"

"Ah no, it's just I have summoned someone who is a having hard time controlling her human form."

"She's a dragon?"

"No, she a human that gained dragon power."

Tiamat was a bit angry that a dragon dares to give a human their own power! Where is their pride as a dragon! Caelum began to explain more about the world of Irene which made her bitter.

"Hmph it is their carelessness for letting a human taste their power! We dragons control our tendencies, but if it's a human then there is no doubt it will corrupt them."

A dragon race is born to be the top of the food chain and they grow being able to control their desires. They are prideful, but if they couldn't control themselves or live up to their names then it's pointless.

"What is it you want then, youngling? "

"I want you to train her to maintain he form. I could use my power to purify her but it would be better that she gains experience."

"Hmph if I do that then I except a reward!"

"Sure, what is it? I also hadn't reward you training Liliena."

"I saved it because I desire to have your seed and impregnate me."

Caelum raise an eyebrow and felt that someone is toying with him. First there were Sapphire and Cereza, but now it's Tiamat.

[E/N: - *looking at Cure and judging him silently*.]

"*Sigh* Sure."

"It's good that you listen, my husband."

Caelum was taken aback at the sudden change of term she usually uses, then it hit him.

"Y-You're in heat!?"

"Yes, but don't worry I can still hold myself. When I finally get to have my fill, expect months of sex!"

Caelum doubted that she would last a month because of his lustful skills. He even thought it was amazing that he still hadn't gained a hidd-
