*Vitamor’s POV*
We headed back to the ship from the planet and then it hit me that I forgot something. I opened up the communication screen on the ship's computer and contacted Lizardeous. His face popped up on the screen, “Calling back so soon your majesty?” I could see the confusion on his face and I smiled, “Just wanting to let you know that I will be paying the bill for the repairs to your palace and capital city.” His face had a beaming smile on it, “Thank you, your majesty.” I waved it off, “No thanks necessary, I was the one who caused most of the damage in the first place.” We chatted about a couple of non-important things before I hung up with him and called Zellfina.
It wrung a few times before she actually picked up. She was sitting in the office of our room wearing nothing but a towel. She smiled at me, “Hello dear.” I grinned, “Hello love.” She laughed and we talked a bit and based on the talks it sounded like she wasn’t as mad as before, but that thought was quickly squashed. She grinned at me, “By the way, I still haven’t thought of your punishment yet, but don’t think that I have forgotten.” I swallowed some saliva and rubbed the back of my head, “Yes dear.”
She laughed, “I was thinking about no sex for a while…” She let the sentence trail off and I quickly responded, “I’m sorry! Anything but that please!” I know that sex really isn’t the entire point of a relationship, but anyone that says that skinship isn’t needed in a relationship is retarded. I can understand the whole waiting for a while or on marriage, but to completely cut of skinship is just unfathomable to me. She was smiling at my pain, but Silthis poked her next to mine, “That’s okay. There are plenty of us who are more than willing to fulfill that need sis.”
I paled at what she said, but Zellfina spoke again, “I don’t think you should be exerting yourself like that sister. Think of the baby.” Silthis put her finger on her chin, “Well you have a point, but I don’t think we have to worry about that for a few months though.” Zellfina narrowed her eyes, “I think you should think very hard about the babies well-being little sis.” There was a chill in her words as she emphasized the words little sis.
I saw Silthis shiver before she meekly spoke again, “Okay big sis.” I widened my eyes at the way that Silthis was acting and so did the other people on the dropship. For a God Princess to meekly stand before an Immortal Rank was unheard of. It seems that Zellfina was the de facto leader of the harem. Silthis looked at me with eyes that showed sadness, but I couldn’t really do anything. I mean I could probably tell Zellfina to lighten up a bit, but she was right. She should conserve her energy and not strain herself.
Seeing that I wasn’t saying anything she sighed and then leaned out of the screen view. Zellfina looked at me and smiled, “I need to get dressed dear so I will have to let you go now.” I grinned, “You don’t really need to go to get dressed though.” She laughed, “If you don’t mind your general or the pilot seeing the body of your wife then okay.” She started to remove the towel and I quickly reacted, “Bye dear! Love you!” I closed the screen down seconds before her lovely body was viewed.
I looked back and saw that Xylnick was looking at the wall while whistling and the pilot was staring into space with a death grip on the wheel. I raised an eyebrow, “Forget everything.” Xylnick coughed, “Forget what sire?” The pilot nodded, “Didn’t see nothin anyways sire.” I sighed and sat back in my chair while Xenova came over and massaged my temples. It felt great and in a few seconds, I was being roused by her saying that we were on the Freedom.
I opened my eyes and saw that I was lying in her lap while she was looking down at me. She smiled, “Have a nice nap hun?” I smiled back and nodded, “Yeah, it was a bit short though.” She laughed and it caused her mounds to jiggle. I tried not to look so I could keep my reaction to a minimal. She smiled and then leaned down planting her lips on mine. It was a Spiderman type kiss and it became a little more passionate than it should have. It wasn’t until there was a cough from the side did I realize there were still other people on the ship.
We separated and I smiled before getting up. We all left the dropship and were greeted by a smiling Drexella. She ran up to us when we stepped off the ramp, “Welcome back master!” I smiled, “Thanks, Drexella.” She noticed a new addition to the group and she pointed at her, “New master?” I nodded, “Yup, you have two new masters well, one isn’t here yet.” I saw the confusion in her eyes until she noticed Silthis resting a hand on her belly. Her eyes instantly widened and she squealed, “Really!?”
She instantly ran over to Silthis and put her ear against her belly, “Is it a boy or a girl and when is it going to be here?” I was shocked at the way she was acting, “We don’t know yet and in…” I stopped and looked at Silthis, “How long do Arachne babies take before they are born.” She smiled, “I could technically lay the egg in a few seconds if I used Time Magic, but there is no telling what could happen to the baby. If we do things normally, which I think we should, the egg will be ready in about a month. Once the egg is laid then it would take another eleven months for it to hatch.”
I raised an eyebrow, “So fast and so long?” She laughed, “Yeah, the egg forming is pretty quick, but the baby development takes a while.” I nodded, “So you can’t give birth in your human form?” She shrugged, “Well I could, but then it would take me a few years to give birth, because of some issues developing the baby. I would rather get the egg out in a month so we can get started on another one.” She grinned at that last part.
I smiled, “Whoa there, I already promised Zellfina the next two and I don’t tend to break my promise this time.” I quickly set my impregnation option to off, “I even turned the setting off just now so it wouldn’t happen until then.” She frowned, “That means we can’t have sex then.” I smiled, “I think you should already know this, but other than releasing you of your power and baby making we can have sex just because we want to.” She smiled widely, “Really?” I nodded, “Yup.”
She didn’t say anything else, but I could see that her mind drifted off to somewhere else. I sighed and then looked at Drexella still rubbing Silthis’ belly. I smiled again, “You going to just rub her belly all day?” She quickly jumped up and her face was bright red, “Right! I have so much to do. I should quickly learn how to make an eight-legged onesie…” That last part I barely caught as she was running out of the room. I laughed and then shook my head before we headed out of the hangar to the bridge.
I sat down in the captain’s chair and Dani quickly took her spot on my lap, princess style. I laughed and then used opened the computer built into the chair. Through the cameras on the ship, I was able to see that everything was running smoothly. The dropships that were going to pick up the lamias were just now leaving the ship. It would probably take another thirty minutes to an hour for that to all be done.
I sighed and then patted Dani’s but for her to get up. She quickly got up, but not before she wiggled her but a little in my lap. I grinned and then left the bridge, heading towards the training room. The other girls all went their separates ways. Dani followed me, while Xenova showed Silthis to our room so she could rest. Sylvia went to the mess hall to find some food and Camellia went to the library that was on board.
I made my way into the training room with Dani in tow. I wanted to practice my magic now that I discovered how badass it could be. I activated my manipulation and peered around at the rivers of mana. I smiled before starting to train. A few hours later I was interrupted by a knock on the door to the training room. Dani opened the door and poked her head out. There were some words exchanged and she shut the door. She looked over at me, “The Lamia’s are all aboard and the money needed to fix the palace and capital were given to the lizard.”
I grinned at her words before I released the spell I was using. The blazing violet colored flames in the shape of a European dragon roared once before they disappeared. The entire training room was literally a molten pool of metal that cooled a few seconds after the flames were gone. The shield I placed around the area that Dani was in dissipated as well. I glanced at the notification on my screen.
Congratulations! You have contracted with the [Violet Dragon of Flame].
[Violet Dragon of Flame] – A sentient spirit-queen of fire. She can control any and all types of flames.
I grinned at the notification before I closed it. I walked to the door of the training room and then rewound the time in the room before I shut the door, being an Immortal Ranked mage made using magic so much easier. I don’t understand while, but it did. I want to figure out how to become a Demi-God rank in magic or even a God Rank, but I probably shouldn’t be in such a hurry.
I spoke to Kiralee, “Kira, go ahead and send us back to the ArchAngel.” She instantly spoke back, “Okay dad!” I smiled and then headed towards the dock where all of the lamias were gathered. I stepped off the elevator and saw the massive group in front of me. They all turned at the same time, “All hail his majesty!” It was pretty damn loud in this enclosed space, but it wasn’t too bad for me. Dani had her hands over her ears, but the look on her face was one of pride. I grinned and then waved towards the lamias.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
They all quieted down after a few minutes and I imbued my voice with magic before speaking, “From today on you all will be a part of the 7th Army! You will be my first Battalion and I will also choose a troop from among you that will be my personal guard.” There were some murmurs at this, but I continued to talk, “I know that you are all knights and archers, but I will be having you all screened to see if there are some other areas where you might excel such as magic.”
They murmured among themselves for a few more seconds before quieting down, “I do apologize, but you all will have to hang out at the dock until we get to our destination. There are not enough rooms for all of you on this capital ship.” I honestly believe that it should be able to hold more people than ten thousand, being that it is the size of the fucking capital city. That had to be a design mistake on someone's part. I sighed and made a mental note to see if the capacity of the Freedom could be upgraded somehow.
No one really had an issue with what I said, well at least they didn’t voice it at the time. I left the hangar after speaking to the troops. I proceeded up the elevator and to the bridge. It was a little empty when I arrived, but when I sat down in the captain's chair the rest of the crew filed in through the door. They all saluted me as they went to their stations. I cleared my throat, “Are we ready to head back to the ArchAngel?”
One of the girls stood up an saluted, “Ready and waiting sir!” I nodded my head, “Good, let's get going then.” At this time Xenova made her way onto the bridge and sat down on my lap. She wrapped her arms around my neck, “We heading out master?” I smiled and smacked her on the butt, “Don’t call me master anymore.” She let out a small yip at the smack and blushed, “Yes dear.” I grinned and then looked back out the window as we were starting to warp.
We honestly weren’t very far from the ArchAngel, but if we were to head towards it without warping it would take us a few hours while warping only took us a few minutes. We left warp space and we saw the ArchAngel in front of us. After another ten or fifteen minutes we were docking. The girls and I left the ship first and then everyone else left.
I was heading towards the bridge of the ArchAngel when an alarm started blaring. I heard the voice of the ArchAngel’s A.I. come over the speakers, “Warning! Planet under attack by Demons!” It said that a few times before it just started saying warning over and over again. I cursed and used [Image Teleportation]. I appeared on the bridge instantly which startled the crew members there. I ignored their surprised gasps and faces, “Tell me what’s going on!” One of the guys collected himself first, “Uh, yes sir! The planet of Winslex is under attack by one of the Demon armies.”
Xenova appeared on the bridge, “Which army is it?” The man looked at his computer before speaking, “It looks like it’s General Immortalius’s army.” Xenova sighed, “That’s good.” I furrowed my brows, “Why is that good?” She smiled, “The reason his name is Imortalious is that he has been stuck at the Immortal Power Rank for almost a thousand years.” I nodded my head, “Oh okay… how the hell is he a general then?” She smiled, “He is the general of the weakest army in the Demon Kingdom. The entire army doesn’t even pose a real threat to you alone. The general may put up a decent fight with you because he is the same rank, but you are also an Immortal Magic Rank as well.”
I smiled, “Let's go save the world.” I laughed inside my mind, I have always wanted to say that. Dani walked in at this time, “Uh oh, be careful there or the bridge might not be big enough for your head in the future.” I grinned, “I let you remember just how big my head is later.” Dani just grinned, “Don’t threaten me with a good time.” Xenova chipped in, “What are you two talking about?”
Dani leaned close to her so she could whisper in her ear and then her face turned really red. She glanced at me and then spoke softly, “No fair, I want to see master’s big head too.” I grinned and shook my head. I didn’t think that a succubus would get embarrassed like that. Hell, she almost wanted to fuck me in front of the palace back on Pantidrop. Of course, when she saw all the people she got a bit embarrassed. I wonder if the attitude that she had when she first appeared at the wedding had something to do with Lucifer’s slave emblem.
I pushed all of the thoughts not pertaining to Winslex into the back of my mind. I told the crew, “Set a course to Winslex. Get us there as fast as you can.” They saluted, “Yes your majesty!” The bridge got noisy as everybody set upon their selective tasks. After about five minutes the ArchAngel was in warp space. Another five minutes and we were exiting it. When we left warp space the entire space fortress shook from an explosion. I yelled, “What was that?”
A crewman yelled back, “The demon’s capital ship detected our warp and launched missiles at out exit point! They timed it perfectly and managed to hit us as we appeared! We didn’t have time to get the shields up!” I cursed, “Power up the shields and have one of the researchers start a project on warp space safe shields!” I punched a button on my chair and Xyldrick appeared on the monitor. He saluted, “Your orders your majesty?”
I answered him, “Launch the Freedom and scramble your fighters.” He saluted, “Sir yes sir!” I closed the communication link. I looked back at the girls, “I’m heading out for a bit.” They all smiled and Xenova gave me a kiss. She separated from me, “Have fun.” I grinned, “I plan on having loads.” I looked back out the window and used [Blink]. I appeared right in front of what I thought to be their capital ship.
I saw a red skinned buff demon with red bat-like wings on his back. He looked like the classic rendition of the devil from back on earth. He grinned at me and then launched himself out of the bridge. The glass shattered and the emergency shutters activated. He stopped right in front of me, “Looks like an Immortal human wants to fight the all-powerful I.” I frowned at the way he referred to himself. I grinned right afterward, “So you are the General Immortalius?” He did a mock bow, “It is I. You know me, but I really don’t know who you are.” I grinned, “You don’t need to know who I am. You just need to know that this is the end of you and your army.”
He widened his eyes and then he laughed, “You think that you and that space station are going to do anything to my army?” He put his arms out the side and more spaceships appeared from warp space. There was probably around thirty massive battleships behind him now. I laughed, “You really think that you can handle the ArchAngel with this puny amount of battleships?” He grinned, “No, I only need two of them to handle that worthless space station.”
I smiled, “Kira would you do dad a favor and take out a few of his ships?” There was a giggled followed by a sweet voice, “Sure thing daddy!” After that half of the one hundred medium capacity anti-capital ship rail guns aimed at the battleships that just warped in. They started to glow red and then they fired a red beam at the ships. The beams completely engulfed the battleships and they were literally wiped from existence.
The look on Imortalious’s face was priceless. I grinned, “What was that about only needing two ships to take out my ArchAngel?” He looked over at the space fortress and saw the symbol of the empire painted on the side. It was then that I think he realized he fucked up, “Wait! Is that the ArchAngle that belongs to the new emperor of the Draconian Empire?” I smiled and then laughed, “You’re pretty sharp. I made the same mock bow that he did, “Allow me to introduce myself. I am Emporer Vitamor of the United Draconian Empire.”
After I said that the fighters and bombers from the Freedom arrived and were fighting with the enemies that were left over. The Freedom was slowly making its way towards their capital ship. Imortalius gritted his teeth, “Damn you! You may have a powerful Space Fortress, but you are just an Immortal Power Rank!” After he said that his skin changed color and appeared a green color. I raised an eyebrow, “A Demi-God? And the wind element too. Aren’t you supposed to have been stuck at the Immortal Rank for the last thousand years?”
He grinned, “I broke through a few months ago. Lord Lucifer allowed me to attack this planet in celebration.” I laughed and shook my head, “You picked the wrong planet to attack.” He grinned again, “What are you going to do about it, you’re just an Immortal.” I smiled, “Head my command! Spirit-Queen Frozela come to me!” After I made my chant the immediate area around us dropped in temperature. The vacuum of space is cold enough as it is, but it became even colder.
The average temperature of space is around negative four hundred and fifty-five degrees Fahrenheit with absolute zero being around four hundred and fifty-six. Back on earth they still haven’t successfully achieved absolute zero and most scientists think that it is virtually impossible, but at this moment I am witnessing the impossible. An ice sculpture of a beautiful female appeared next to me. The sculpture was incredibly lifelike and it smiled at me, “You called master?” I smiled back at her, “I have run across an annoying bug and I would like your help to freeze it to death.”
She looked over at Immortalius, “Ah you mean this puny demi-god?” I nodded my head, “That’s correct.” She smiled, “Your wish is my command master.” Immortalius was almost quivering in his boots, “H…h…how can you have contracted a spirt!? Only an Immortal Magic Rank can contract spirits! You even contracted a Spirit-Queen which is the highest rank of spirit!” I laughed, “She isn’t the only one. Sadly in the vacuum of space, I can’t call a lot of them out. It just so happens that ice is able to exist in space so I could summon the Ice Queen Frozela.”
His eyes widened again, “You mean to tell me that you are an Immortal in both Power and Magic? You also have contracted multiple Spirit-Queens?” I smiled, “I don’t ever remember saying any of that… I don’t know why I would. That would just be telling my enemy all my trump cards.” Frozela spoke, “But you did say that master.” I frowned, “Did I?” She nodded and I sighed, “I guess I went a little bit loose mouthed there and forgot. Oh well as long as all witnesses are wiped out then its good.”
I glared at Immortalius, “You ready witness? I would pray to whatever god you believe in… or Lucifer. Either one works because neither one can help you now.” I blinked in front of him and punched him straight in the face. He flew back and smashed into his capital ship leaving a dent in the side. He growled and then disappeared. I was surprised that he could teleport like I could, but then I remembered that his element was wind. That meant that he didn’t teleport he just moved faster than I could see.
I looked around for him and even used my [Mana Perception] I saw the mana flowing through his body, but it was a little too late because his fist was already near my head. I tried to block, but I only got my arm halfway up before it connected with my cheek. I felt my consciousness shake and felt myself entering the atmosphere of the planet. I curse and then used my [Mana Manipulation] to put a mana shield around me. I was constantly controlling the mana around me and pouring it into the shield as it kept trying to dissipate.
After I entered the lower atmosphere of the planet and the resistance lessened I let go of the shield. Seconds later I crashed into the ground and went about a hundred yards into the crust of the planet. I spit out a mouthful of blood and felt the pain through my entire body. I ignored the pain and flew out of the whole. Frozela flew over to me and hovered next to me. We both looked up into the sky and saw that Immortalius was smiling down at us. I spit out a glob of blood as I grinned up at him.
