21-24

"L-Leader. The sky is falling. W-What should we do?"

Reptilian grey eyes watched the fast-descending meteorite fall toward the earth. The small shapes around the leader hopped around in panic.

"Don't worry. That thing is not the sky, but a human. You all head back for now and I will check those people."

"B-But leader…"

The small subordinate had no way of opposing her leader.

Even if she did happen to say something sensible, chances were that the leader would just refuse to listen to her words.

In the end, the smaller figure could only order her people to leave.

"Be a careful leader. Those humans might not be our friends. I don't want to see you dead."

The leader just rolled her eyes at the obvious worry her subordinate was showing.

It was sweet of the smaller rabbit to care about her like that. But there was no need to be so cautious of the humans.

"Don't worry. I can take care of myself. After all, I am stronger than I look."

The female licked her claws in a show of her strength. Her nails looked vicious, stopping at a few inches short of skinning anyone.

The female kept guard till her tribe disappeared.

And once she was done, she finally turned around to start moving toward the falling bodies.

She could feel the magic surrounding the metros calling her like a siren. It was a powerful bewitchment that called out to her.

The leader had not initially wanted to care about the magic at all. She had convinced herself to walk away from the scene.

If not for the familiar scent emitting from their direction, she would have decided not to involve herself in this mess.

"My lord. Why are you with those wrenched humans? They were the ones who killed you?"

The female Viera could not figure out why the reincarnated dragon-lord had chosen the humans as its caretakers. But she decided not to question it.

Higher beings of the abyss had their reasons for doing things. And trying to understand it was only something a fool would do.

The Viera leader hopped around on her four paws. Her unique body shape and sharp moment made it very easy to navigate the rocky space of the surrounding hills.

And she was near the crash site mere moments after the crash.

"My Lord, are you alright?"

The Viera leader asked in a small voice. She did not want to cause unnecessary distress to her lord's new body.

-Grrrr

The small black form of a baby dragon growled in warning toward her.

The Viera leader took an unconscious step back at the warning. The small form of the dragon looked far from satisfied though.

The more she stepped back, the further the dragon walked in her direction.

"My lord, there is no need to be hostile to me. I am here to help you out."

The Viera beast called out in hopes of being understood.

But the dragon was not in a forgiving mood. It was closing in on the female warrior with a ferocity she had seldom seen in any abyssal beast.

"H-Huh?"

The growling almost stopped at the weak voice.

The dragon baby ignored the Viera leader completely and coiled around the semi-unconscious human.

"W-Who's there?"

The voice was really weak when it asked the question. It did not belong to someone who could survive such heavy injuries.

The Viera leader had no intention of stepping out to help the unconscious human pair initially. But her lord was attached to these humans.

And helping their lord was one of the primary functions bestowed upon their clan by the abyss.

"Do not be alarmed. I am the loyal soldier of My Lord and my name is Ely. The dragon you have with you is the reincarnated form of my lord and I have to help them out."

"And since you are my Lord's precious people, I shall help you out as well."

The dragon decided he did not like those words.

There was no way the tiny dragon could harm Ely in his current state. The small dragon lacked its blazing point activation and he did not seem to have developed his magical core as well.

All in all, he was in a vulnerable state and must be protected.

"No, don't attack her. Come here."

Ely tried not to gasp as she watched the human interaction with the dragon. The human female in front of her looked unafraid of the dragon.

Both she and the unconscious human lying at her side had no energy to speak of. Even still, she held enough courage to get the dragon to interact with her.

And the most amazing thing of all was – the dragon was complying with her request.

"Lady Ely was it? I want to take your offer but I don't think I can move right now. Do you think you can get someone to take us to a safe space?"

Would surprises never cease to exist?

Ely had thought that she would have to pull some kind of trick to get her lord and his humans to come with her.

"I understand. But I don't think my lord likes that idea very much."

Ely looked at the small dragon who eyes her with distrust. He seemed to be fighting with his instincts to like her.

"It's alright. Wait, have I named you yet? Ely, you called him your lord, right? So, do you know his name?"

Ely tried not to judge the human for her lack of knowledge but it was hard.

After all, what kind of human decided to keep a creature as mighty as a dragon with them and not even research their kind?

It was not like there were a lot of dragon lords that lived.

But Ely did not show her thoughts on her face. i𝙣𝐧r𝑒𝘢𝒅． 𝚌𝚘m

"My lord was named Ur. I hope the name will be bestowed upon our lord once again."

Ely hoped the human was not foolish enough to name the dragon anything else. After all, the name 'Ur' held importance for her people.

"Ur? I guess it is fine if the dragon likes it? What do you say?"

Her lord looked offended at the name but he did not reject it at once. Ely could only take it as a good sign.

"Hey, do you think you can take Ur back to your place while I help my other companion out? I need you to promise that you'll come back for us and keep Ur safe."

Once again, a thing out of the norm had happened.

A human was asking someone from the abyss for a favor.

Was the human not afraid that Ely would kill her once she had the chance? Where did that confidence come from?

But whatever had prompted that confidence, Ely was thankful for that. She could take this opportunity to wrestle her lord's favor and divert him from the human's side.

"Ur, be good and go with her for now. And If Ely doesn't come back with the troops, you have my permission to cause as much hard as you want to."

Ely wanted to scoff at the threat.

There was no way her lord would cause the Viera harm. It was because of him that the Viera race was even alive right now.

"I voe to take care of my lord and send some people back for you as soon as I can."

Ely vowed before pressing her lips against the conscious human. To show her sincerity, she even used her magic to exchange the voe.

As per abyss rules, the exchange of energy solidified the contract.

Since it was such a short-term contract, all it required was a small press of surface area and an exchange of energy.

The deed was done just in time for Ely to avoid a pair of dangerous claws aiming for her throat

"Yeah. Send for help but tell them to take a little more time than necessary. And also have some medicinal supplied readily."

Ely's reptilian eyes met another reptilian pair. But unlike Ely, the other one had no sense of recognition or even human intelligence.

One had to wonder if the owner of those eyes was even a human, to begin with. Those familiar eyes looked at Ely in a haunting manner.

"Now hurry up before Astoria decided to skin you alive."

It was only after Ely left the clearing did she realized what had been missing in the exchange she just had.

The unconscious female had never been a human at all. Her lord's presence had distracted Ely from the real truth of the matter.

And at first, she had thought that the scent she had been smelling was the dragon in her arms.

But it had been that other female that had given out that dragons-scent of the blaze.

That woman had the blood of their lord flowing inside her veins as well. She was their lord as well in the sense of the abyss.

So what did that mean for the Viera race now?

It was cold. It was so cold that her body was not able to keep up.

Astoria felt like all her energy had left her body. The only thing that was left behind was the feeling of ice inside her chest.

The only source of warmth was outside of her body. It was lying at Astoria's side and she had to consume it.

Her instincts screamed at her to secure her treasure before the intruder took it away from her.

The intruder already had one of Astoria's treasures in her hand. Astoria could not allow her to take another one from her hoard.

"Go. I will keep her stalled."

The voice brought a wave of cool with it. Astoria chased it unconsciously with her lips.

Her lips landed on something soft and cool. The feeling of magic brought calmness to her mind. The calmness of the likes Astoria had never felt before.

She wanted more. She needed more.

She needed to be surrounded by that coolness and make it her own.

So that was what she did. She leaned in and started consuming whatever energy she could get her hands on.

==========================

Aurora expected the attack coming her way.

Astoria had not exactly hidden her intentions toward Aurora. More so, her aura had given her excitement away to Aurora.

"Don't hurry to devour me. I am not going anywhere. Come, have your fill."

Aurora braced herself for the flash of pain that was about to come. She could sense Astoria's intention of biting her nape.

Astoria was more beast than human right now. As such, her body was responding in kind and making her act out.

Aurora also knew that the use of blaze point had deprived Astoria of any common sense she held before. The lack of energy in the goddess's body contributed to her wild nature.

There were only two ways to knock Astoria out of her current condition.

Either let her gather her energy or to dual cultivate with her and restore her power.

Aurora chose the more time-efficient one from the bunch.

"Calm down. Match your breath with mine."

Aurora cupped the elder's face with her hands. It was an attempt to snatch the elder goddess's attention back on her.

But Astoria did not pay any attention to the soft command. The elder forced her lips out of Aurora's neck and reached toward her breasts.

But of course, things were not that easy for the pair.

Astoria pawed at Aurora's shirt in an attempt to get it off. But the lack of sense was getting in the way.

There was no other way now.

Aurora pressed her lips against Astoria's with a brutal force. Being nice and soft was not going to work against a beast.

Astoria did not play around either. She forced her body back against Aurora's in a violent clash of tongues. 𝙞𝘯𝘯𝙧𝒆𝘢𝐝. C𝑜ｍ

Two pairs of lips moved against each other before Aurora broke the kiss.

Astoria followed the saliva string held between the teeth and licked across Aurora's face.

"Give me some space to work."

Aurora tried to push Astoria's heavier body off her but the half-goddess did not seem to be in the mood for that.

The more Aurora pushed back, the more Astoria pushed ahead.

In the end, Aurora had no choice but to give up and allow Astoria to have her way with her body.

Astoria's hard penis was rubbing against Aurora's belly but the hands-on her breasts distracted Aurora more.

Astoria was playing with her nipples and fondling her breast like a baby who had found a new toy.

"Astoria, pay attention to.."

A hiss was forced out of Aurora's mouth as Astoria decided to bite her. The soft flesh of Aurora's breast held the teeth imprint.

But Astoria looked far from satisfied and intensified her attempts to mark Aurora.

Pain mixed with pleasure inside Aurora's mind. Her skin blossomed a pretty pink at being handled in such a way.

"A-Astoria, C-Come here."

Aurora branched herself before she pulled Astoria's body on top of her own.

She made sure to move around so that her pussy would rub against Astoria's hard penis. The contact made Aurora hiss out in pleasure.

And it distracted Astoria from her ruthless assault on Aurora's neck as well.

The half-goddess finally seemed to be paying attention to Aurora and her lower half. Astoria's penis rubbed against Aurora's wetness resulting in a bolt of pleasure.

"That's right. That is where you need to go. Don't be shy and touch it."

Aurora was not sure if Astoria understood her words or not. But the elder did reach out with a hesitant touch and lightly touched Aurora's pussy.

The pleasure was intense on Aurora's side but Astoria seemed to find her exploration fun.

The fingers disappeared quickly from Aurora's pussy and were replaced by a hard penis.

Astoria seemed contented to rub her penis against the wet pussy in front of her. The goddess was not even interested in penetration.

Or, it was more likely that the thought of being inside Aurora had not even crossed her mind.

Aurora cursed her fate and got ready to take things in her hand.

Since Astoria looked inexperienced, Aurora decided she needed to pull her weight and ride that hard cock.

That was the only way things would work out for the pair.

"Sorry for the delay."

Aurora apologized before she finally turned the tables.

Astoria melted once Aurora put her hands on the elder. The hard penis throbbed in Aurora's hand and Astoria all but collapsed on herself.

Aurora easily manhandled Astoria on her back while she reached for that hard cock in front of her.

It was impressive and relatively human-shaped.

However, Aurora could also feel something new at the bottom of the cock. Something not relatively human-like.

'I am in for it. She's going to knot.'

Aurora knew being half-beast came with such a territory but she had never experienced this phenomenon before. Being knotted was not on her list of priorities.

But now it looked like she would have to face the beast head-on.

Aurora pumped the cock in front of her before deciding to take a lick. The lack of lubrication only left Aurora with so many options.

Aurora needed to be wet to be able to take Astoria without pain. And the only way to do that was to play with herself.

Since Astoria was out of her mind, Aurora could not even count on her for preparation. All Aurora could do was distract Astoria and pray that her mere preparation would be enough.

Aurora's hand entered her pussy as she played with Astoria's cock. Her mouth made quick work of lubricating the well-sized cock in front of her.

Aurora finally decided to such the cock head to prepare Astoria for the sensation of sinking in a tight wet heat.

But the plan backfired on herself.

Somehow, Astoria gathered enough brainpower to catch Aurora's head and force her to take in the whole cock.

Aurora's new body lacked a gag reflex but the penetration still hurt her throat.

Aurora wanted to pull back but Astoria did not allow Aurora to do that. Aurora had to fight against Astoria's stronghold to get free.

A pair of teary eyes looked back at Astoria and it seemed to have excited Astoria even more because she pushed harder against Aurora's head.

Aurora had to do her best not to use her strength.

Though she did use her magic to calm down Astoria and to free her mouth.

Her pussy was more than ready to take Astoria's cock and she had to pull back to get to the main course.

Thankfully, Astoria finally got the clue and let Aurora's throat go free.

Aurora gulped in the unneeded oxygen and quickly straddled the elder half-goddess.

"You better appreciate my sacrifice. I don't think I'll be able to use my voice tomorrow."

Aurora complained before she sank on Astoria's cock and took it in deep.

The penetration caused a hiss of pleasure to escape both parties. But no one even slowed down to take time and adjust the position.

Aurora held herself back from actually moving once she had sunk balls-deep on top of Astoria's cock. She wanted to catch her breath before the next big event.

But Astoria's instincts finally kicked in and she decided to take charge of the operation. Her hips moved aggressively against Aurora's and the position allowed Astoria to reach down into the deepest part of Aurora.

It was hard and fast action that caused both parties to not give in.

Aurora tried to take control of the situation but Astoria did not seem ready to give the control up.

Astoria seemed more than ready to take advantage of her new position and her thrust picked up speed.

Aurora was losing ground faster and faster. It was Astoria that was in control of their coupling.

But before Astoria could release, Aurora tried one last try to get the control back in her hands.

She held Astoria's hand tightly and kissed her before the half-goddess could move.

Astoria felt her mind getting lost in pleasure as the warm and tight place on her cock sucked her in.

She had never felt pleasure like this before and the half-goddess doubted if anything would ever feel this pleasing again.

But she wanted more of that mind-melding feeling.

So that was why she hurried up her thrusts and ramped into that wet pussy. Her instincts roared at Astoria to chase that heat.

She needed to release herself inside that heat and leave her claim. She needed to mark that space.

But the magic flowing inside her also felt relaxing. It was the only thing that contained this crazy lust inside Astoria's mind.

The first thing Astoria became aware of was her wet cock being stuck in a divine heat.

The second thing she became aware of was a flushed looking back at her.

"Finally back with me? Don't move around or you'll hurt me."

Astoria tried to move despite the fact warning and instantly felt a small burn on her penis.

"Haney. We're still locked together so be a little gentle with me."

Aurora tried to warn but her voice sounded pained.

Astoria only needed one guess to know why that was so. It was because of her penis being stuck inside the other female.

"Ah. Did this happen because of my blaze point? I was supposed to die, right?"

Astoria was sure she should be dead right now.

Utilizing blaze point was something monsters of the abyss did when they had no other choice.

And even though Astoria had the same protection as the abyssal beasts, she did not have the same mentality as them.

Not to mention, the goddess part of her body still suffered from the draconic magic.

"Think about dying some other time. I need you alive for now to make my dream come true."

Aurora sounded calm. Astoria also settled down in her former position.

Now that the blaze of energy deprivation no longer colored her vision, Astoria could easily make out how she felt.

First, her breasts were squished while she pressed against Aurora's body.

Since both she and Aurora were well-developed in the size department, there was no space left between their bodies.

And then there was the unnatural amount of sweat that had built up between them.

Not to mention, the release that was still sealed inside Aurora.

"By the way. Where is the baby dragon? You didn't name it yet, right?"

Despite the hundred questions Astoria had, this one slipped out.

"Out of everything you could have asked me, this is what you chose? But I guess it does oddly make sense. Now, don't panic about my next words. I did name the dragon."

Astoria felt an odd sense of detachment as Aurora confirmed those words.

It was not Aurora's fault that she did not know about dragon customs. If she did then she would not have named the dragon kid.

Only family members or significant others were allowed to name the dragon. And only if the dragon accept it did the name gain significance.

"Did the kid accept his name?"

"Yes. A Viera arrived not long after we crashed and proclaimed the dragon kid as her lord. I asked Ur to go with that Viera so that I could cure you."

"A team of Viera should be here soon to retrieve us."

Aurora explained and Astoria felt her nerves calm down. If the specie that had found them was Viera then things would turn out to be alright.

Astoria knew about the history of her sire and Viera. And like most Abyssial beasts, Viera were also bound to serve their family line through magical means.

"I see. I guess we got lucky then."

Astoria felt her knot swell down. It finally allowed her to pull out of the wet heat she had been enjoying.

And once she had the luxury, Astoria did not wait around and pulled back. 𝚒𝒏𝓃𝓻e𝑎𝙙. 𝙘ｏ𝑚

"I can feel the Viera soldiers heading this way. They will be here in about 15 minutes. I think we should get cleaned up. Is there a water source nearby? I am too tired to make water using magic."

Aurora did look to be tired.

Astoria tried to ignore her throbbing cock as she took in the various flesh marks she had left behind. Now was not the time to think about those things.

"This place is quite dry. I don't think there is a water source nearby."

Aurora groaned at Astoria's words. It was a cute sound and Astoria felt her lips move up unconsciously.

"Then what should we do? I feel like everything will slip out if I stand up now."

Astoria didn't want to tell Aurora that their release was already making its way out of Aurora's body.

The translucent-white material mixed with a honey-gold was making Aurora's skin shine.

And there was something hypnotic about it. Astoria could say for sure that it was because of her instincts but she decided to do something about that leaking fluid.

"H-Hey, we just finished. What are you doing?"

Astoria did not even know she had such beastly instincts inside her. But Aurora's words did not stop her from leaning down and taking a swipe out of her release.

But one lick was far from enough. Astoria wanted more. No, she needed more.

So Astoria quickly got to work and ate that pussy out.

"S-Stop it. Enough."

Astoria must be really good at her work or Aurora must be really sensitive, because her cries were getting louder and louder by the second.

The flow of magic was happening unconsciously between them. Astoria could not stop herself from licking into that delicious treat in front of her.

And Aurora did not seem to want her to stop either.

Despite Aurora's complaints, the younger goddess had a tight grip on Astoria's hair and was urging her to go faster.

The sounds of pleasure escaping Aurora's lips also encourage Astoria to keep on going faster and faster.

The release build up faster this time and Astoria made sure to lick it all off.

"You could have warned me before doing that. I don't even think I can walk right now."

Aurora's complaints were unfounded since the younger goddess pushed herself up on shaky legs and started to pull her clothes back up.

Astoria felt an odd sense of accomplishment at seeing the other struggle to even stand up right now.

That accomplishment turned to glee as Aurora's legs buckled and she almost slid down to the ground.

Astoria could still feel her body protest against having anything pressed against it. The beast inside her did not like to feel restricted.

But Astoria knew how to control herself.

Despite her inner need to mark Aurora's neck even more and to leave visible signs of possessiveness behind, Astoria pulled herself back and got dressed.

She could not allow herself to give in right now.

"Should we go and find those Viera guards? Or should we allow them to find us?"

Aurora looked conflicted in her decision. It was not a good look on her face. So Astoria decided to take matters into her own hand.

Before Aurora could ask any more questions, Astoria picked her up and dashed toward the Viera guard's location.

Since she also had the blood of Ur, there was a small connection between her and the Viera race.

That connection made it easy for Astoria to be able to find the hidden guards.

Poor bunny looked confused to see Astoria stand in front of them. Many even took a step back in fright at seeing her aura for the first time.

"Take me back to your leader. Angering me won't leave a good outcome for you."

Astoria did not want to be mean but she had to maintain her status right now.

Since she had the bestial instincts inside herself as well, she knew the best way to get someone to agree with you was fear.

Strong ruled the weak in the abyss and for Astoria to get her way, she had to show her superiority above the other race.

M-My lord. Of course. We were looking around for you. Kindly follow us to our base."

A timid guard finally stepped ahead and threw her body in a full-blown bow. The poor girl's body shook at every breath she took but Astoria did not ask her to stand up.

Seeing how one of their own was bowing to this new deity, the other followed suit.

They could all feel their lord Ur's aura emitting from the female in front of them. That aura screamed the world 'heir' to them.

Their lord had a successor in the form of this female and she even held enough power to make them all bow.

The only thought that still created doubt in their mind was the arrival of the small black dragon Lady Ely had brought back.

That dragon had a similar aura but was weaker.

But dragons only had one offspring in their life. So which one was their true lord?

Ely tried to calm her racing heart down as she heard the guard's report.

She had sent some well-trained people to retrieve back Lord Ur's people but she could not help but feel like she was missing something big.

She remembered how close to her Lord's aura that silver-haired human had given out. It almost felt like her lord was standing before Ely once again.

But surely that could not be true.

Since her lord had already reincarnated in the form of his offspring, Ely was curious to know that human imposter's identity.

And that curiosity made her heart pound more and more.

"Lady Ely, we have brought those humans back to the base. But are you sure about it? That silver-haired female is bizarre. She…"

"…makes you think of our lord. Her aura is similar to our lord, right? Don't worry, I will provide you all with an explanation soon enough."

The guard still looked hesitant to take Ely on her words.

Ely smiled her charming smile as she stood up from her throne. The black dragon opened his eyes to give her a stare before curling back to sleep.

"Don't question my words. Have I ever led you all astray? Don't worry. I won't abandon the duty our Lord bestowed upon me."

The guard finally looked relieved at Ely's words. His expression conveyed his uttermost trust and adoration toward his leader.

"Of course. If Lady Ely is saying this then it must be true. Then, I will look forward to the good news. Oh, and the guests we brought back are being kept in the central quarters."

Ely's smile widened at those words. Finally, she could start getting answers to her questions.

"Very well. You all are dismissed for today. But prepare for a grand feast in our lord's name soon."

The guard bowed and left, her long ears twitching in happiness and contentment.

Ely picked up the heavy body of her lord lying on the cushion at her side and almost received a lethal bite mark.

Lord Ur did not appreciate Ely's attempt at disturbing him. He had curled up into a ball as soon as he had been placed on the cushion and decided not to let anyone approach him while in this state.

Many court officials who had felt his aura had already decided to try and visit him. But the dragon had paid them no attention.

"Lord Ur, your humans are in our guest quarters. Should we go and meet them?"

The dragon finally paid attention to Ely, his wings flapping in impatience. That was his signal to say 'hurry up and move.'

And Ely followed the issued command without any delay.

==========================

The room Aurora had found herself in was not too shabby. It could be called luxurious by beast standards.

"Astoria, I'm going to take a bath now. Will you be alright here on your own?"

Astoria did not say anything at Aurora's words. She just leapt on the bed and relaxed her body.

Aurora decided to leave the half-goddess alone for now. The female had done a lot today and deserved her rest.

"Then, I'll be going now."

Aurora hesitated only a few more seconds before she entered the bathroom.

It followed a similar luxurious style of architecture as the room outside. Stones line the walls and the floor, giving it a non-skidding texture.

While the water was not a luxury in the abyss or nearby areas, it was a precious resource to be had.

Most bestial species did not even use water for their bodily functions. Thankfully, Vieras were not like that.

They had a considerably good plumbing facility going on and Aurora enjoyed the gentle spray of water on her head.

It also helped her clean off the residue of body fluids inside her body.

But once Aurora was done, she felt much better and ready to face the day.

She opened the bathroom just in time to feel something solid jump into her arms and nuzzle her neck.

"I see that our Lord found you. It is my honor to meet you once again."

The black ball in Aurora's arms purred and only then did Aurora realize that it was the small baby dragon she was holding on to.

Ely, the Viera leader, stood in front of Aurora. But as soon as their eyes met, the elder kneeled down on the ground.

"Pardon my rude behavior. I was not aware that esteemed lady was someone precious to our lord. May I know your names?"

The Viera leader asked as Aurora took a seat on the bed.

Astoria seemed to have woken up from her nap as well and Aurora could feel her aura press all around the room to mark her territory.

Since Astoria was still not fully out of the blaze's after effects, this must be an unconscious action on her part.

"Astoria, you can calm down. You are making poor Ely nervous."

Aurora made her way toward the elder half-goddess. The dragon in her arms seemed to not like that direction but he did not put up any fuzz about it either.

"Sorry. This was my first time using blaze and my sire's power. I am still getting the hang of things."

Astoria apologized but her voice did not convey her apology.

Aurora still chose to accept that fake apology since it was the best she was going to get. And Ely would just have to bear with this uncomfortable feeling for the time being.

==========================

Ely could feel the power oozing out of the silver-haired female in front of her.

It was just as she had expected, it was her lord's power she was feeling. Even the blood tie she had with lord Ur seemed to be present.

Whoever this female was, she was similar to the baby black dragon who was Lord Ur's successor.

"What happened? Are you confused about my aura and power? It is exactly as you are thinking it to be."

The lady with her lord's power explained.

She sounded so sure about her claim that Ely felt her doubts rise again. How could it even be possible? Didn't the dragons only have one offspring throughout their life?

"Astoria, don't confuse her any further. We should tell her the truth."

The human carrying Lord Ur seemed much more sensible and likable. There was something about her aura that put Ely at ease.

She oozed the abyssal energy as well. And it was a comfort for Ely to feel that.

"No, you are right. I should not let my irritation at this situation take over my head. Listen, Ely, the reason you are feeling your lord's aura coming out of me is that I was created using his blood."

"The tower created me using the dragon lord Ur and goddess Minerva's essence. I am both a beast and a goddess. You are free to believe me or not to believe me." i𝙣𝐧r𝑒𝘢𝒅． 𝚌𝚘m

"But it won't change the fact that I have your lord's blood inside my veins."

Ely wanted to say that she was surprised but she could not even bring herself to muster the energy.

Of course, she had heard about the tower and the cabinet of goddesses. It had been a decent organization at the start which used to corporate with the abyssal beasts and keep balance.

But things had changed from ancient times and that respect had changed into hate.

The tower had even assassinated their Lord Ur and stolen his egg. It had been one of the first conflicts ever recorded between the goddess and one of the abyss Lords.

"I will like some time to think over this matter and decide who our next lord should be. As per our customs, we can only serve one lord at a time. Both you and Lord Ur carry our master's aura and blood."

"But we can only choose one. And the choice is not that easy to make."

Lord Ur, the junior one, did not seem to care about her words. He just curled even deeper in her human's chest.

"Do what you want to. But you might find yourself at the same endpoint anyway."

Ely had a feeling that was going to happen.

Both the dragons seemed to be gravitating toward the human sitting in the middle of their heap. And Ely had a feeling that the female in the middle would be the real key point in future events.

"I understand. I would also like to ask what your next course of action will be. If possible, I would like you both to extend your stay here for a few years."

Since they have just gotten their lord, Ely could not their lord to be separated from them.

As such, she was ready to use any method to keep her lord with them. Even if it meant keeping their humans along with them and looking after them.

"That we cannot do. We have to be somewhere in a few days. We need to return to the Rocx valley as soon as possible."
