Chapter 401 — Otherworldly Auction

Otherworldly Auction

"WOOHOOO!" - "YeeeeeeeAAAH!" - "I'm hungry..."

"..." Heian Ciemnosc watched, on the seat behind the Headmaster and Vice headmaster, at the crowd as they cheered a little more with the ceremony finally ending. Elena occasionally looked at him, teasing him with her horrible brown eyes as she gloated at his 'misfortune' and hopelessness. Just as Heian Ciemnosc slightly shook his head in despair, he heard the Headmaster's voice. "Heian Ciemnosc, I have something to ask of you."

The Headmaster's voice and words were for only him and the Vice headmaster to hear. The latter seemed surprised as she looked at the former and raised her eyebrows. Heian Ciemnosc, nonetheless, quickly answered. "What is it, Headmaster?"

“Starting next week, an auction will be held in another Kingdom. It’ll be far from this Universe, so a Supervisor will be sent to protect the Academy’s students who go there with a goal.” The Headmaster mysteriously smiled as he kept staring and waving at the crowd. Then, he finished his words, “The goal is to find items that will be useful for what’s next to come. You will have a month to complete this goal. Return before the 3rd month so we can send you to a special place where you’ll have many opportunities.”

“You can also bring Elena to both trips, besides your Team and those of a few others,” the Headmaster looked down for a moment before returning to facing the bleachers. “You will have only tomorrow and the rest of today as free time if you accept.”

Fearless, since he had 2 big mommies as background, Heian Ciemnosc accepted the Headmaster’s offer before inquiring. “I accept, Headmaster. What is it that is needed?”

“Mn,” content with Heian Ciemnosc’s answer, the Headmaster began. “In the 3rd month of every year, a competition is held every 10, 100, 1,000, and 10,000 years between overlords. The last time it happened was before the Change, so it has a bit of a wrong number. Anyway, many Kingdoms’ overlords will be invited there. Only those who rule over the entire Kingdo are seen as Overlords. However, we were invited by one of our greatest allies that has been exchanging goods with us almost since the establishment of the Academy.”

“Even though we are just beginning to stabilize the Blackotia Kingdom, this old friend sent us the chance to vie for opportunities. It isn’t only Second Step organizations that will be participating. First, Third, and Fourth Step organizations will as well. But you don’t have to worry. They will all send their First Step members and elites who had broken into the Second Step not too long ago. How is it? Exciting?!” The Headmaster looked back again, only to see Heian Ciemnosc’s eyes casually look at him and nod.

“Sigh, I’ve notified Lil’ Alyona. She’s already in a faraway City waiting for you to visit her. The ceremony will finish soon. Don’t embarrass the Academy’s face by running away now, understood?” The Headmaster said while returning to face the front. His words proved timely, as Heian Ciemnosc’s gaze immediately changed, turning very fiery. If not for the Headmaster’s words and because Elena was still here, he would’ve smoked away…

“Mn, mn,” Heian Ciemnosc uncaringly nodded and murmured without a thought. He was only thinking of a couple things. Return to see his wifeys, marry Elena, and get Elena to break into the Spirit Rebirth realm before helping her get more powerful quickly with these 2 trips! Heian Ciemnosc looked at his sweet, very-soon-to-be wife and made her tilt her head in confusion as she stared back at him.

A couple minutes later, the ceremony finally started with a shout from the Headmaster. The new Leading Students, thousands of whom were all needed after the war, floated from their seats and returned to the bleachers like some legends and celebs who couldn’t get enough love from the people. Although there was no jealousy from last year’s Leading Students because it was postponed until now, there was little jealousy from previous years’ Leading Students.

However, one thing was clear. The Wrath Nihility Academy was changing foundations, improving them, and evolving! If so many students were accepted into the Academy at once. Then how long until thousands of Leading Students are selected in just over 10 years instead of several hundred to a maximum of around 3,000 Leading Students every decade? Everyone with aspirations suddenly realized they had to work harder!

Transitioning to a higher Step could never be too easy for anyone… Maybe for Heian Ciemnosc, though.

… After the ceremony ended, Heian Ciemnosc rushed towards his Elena as she was floating and making her way back to their Teams. Having just sent a message to Violet through his medallion, Heian Ciemnosc caught up to Elena and dragged her away, his speed naturally much faster than any other First Step cultivator here as he departed from everyone’s eyes. After letting Evans go so he could bring everyone to celebrate, he took portal after portal outside the Academy’s territory.

They were both Leading Students now, anyway, and had connections, anyway. They could afford to be obnoxious like this if they wanted… a little. Without hiding anything from Elena but wanting to make it a little surprise since she was still so clever, Heian Ciemnosc just told him he would help her breakthrough quickly before next week. With her neck, cheeks, and nose blushing, she could only meekly be dragged through the air until they stopped at a City.

“Heian Ciemnosc, why did we stop here? You don’t want anyone to know which place we’re staying in? It won’t work, look, those girls are already fainting over seeing you here out of nowhere.” Elena lightly frowned as Heian Ciemnosc slowly helped her float on the portal’s platform and down its stairs before walking towards a seemingly deserted restaurant with 4 floors. Quite a rich one.

“Don’t care about them. Right now, there is only one thing for you to worry about,” Heian Ciemnosc said as they were a few tens of meters away from the deserted building’s entrance. Elena asked, clueless, “What is it?”

Thud, tap. Whoosh~... Heian Ciemnosc stopped in his tracks right before the doors and turned to look at Elena. As she blushed slightly from his sudden intense self, she lowered her head a little, hurting Heian Ciemnosc’s heart so much he wanted to bury her inside it. He lightly grabbed her upper arms with both hands and asked her, his mouth before the bridge of her nose. “Oh~, will you marry me?”

“...” With his exclamation slightly dragged on cutely, Elena fell silent with her eyes were mesmerized, lost in the afterglow of the words, his antics… and his care. She put on a slightly bothered face, dragging her own words back. “Haish~, yes~. Do you even need to ask that?”

Creak- sliiiide~. Suddenly, the door opened, surprising Elena’s Spirit Sense that didn’t identify whoever was opening the door right now. She instantly looked at the door left ajar when a cute, small, and insanely beautiful pointy-eared head appeared. Hong Mei looked straight at Elena for 3 seconds before turning to Heian Ciemnosc and said, “Oop, was this my cue to show myself? Hello~.”

‘So sweet… as always,’ Heian Ciemnosc looked at Hong Mei a good while before wanting to respond. And it was ‘wanting’ because Elena beat him to it, “Heian Ciemnosc, who is she? She makes me feel so well… and safe. Gasp! I- I recognize you! You’re the treasure, jewel, gem, precious one from the Crismonbreaking Faction! The Chariwoman’s little sister who some even acclaim you to actually be her daughter!”

Heian Ciemnosc: “...”

“So, is Heian Ciemnosc my daddy?” Hong Mei smiled proudly and terribly sweetly at Elena’s words, feeling praised and pampered, before suddenly saying, after pondering for a while. This left Heian Ciemnosc speechless even more, and stared at Hong Mei with newfound helplessness. On the other hand, Elena gained enlightenment. ‘I like her a lot already, hmm~.’

“Well, come on in! What are you doing outside? Aly is waiting inside, come oooon~!” Hong Mei grabbed Elena, who immediately wanted to refuse by reflex but was still flung inside the building without any hope of saving herself. Hong Mei thinly smiled at Heian Ciemnosc and bit her lower lips in slow motion as she likewise went back in, ignoring him. Looking slightly up, Heian Ciemnosc shook his head but still smiled and went inside, closed the door, and the rest was history.

… Inside, Elena was a fangirl for about 2 hours, chatting and becoming the most girly Elena Heian Ciemnosc had ever seen and will probably see for the first time from now on. When she met Alyona, she was like Heian Ciemnosc when he first discovered other books and Craftsmaking. When Elena talked with his wives, she felt so cute and adorable for once, eliciting Heian Ciemnosc, the lonely young abandoned to the side, to be ignored for half a day until his sweet Hong Mei started procedures.

With a quick shuttle coming for them with stealth systems, they returned to the Carrier, leaving behind the restaurant Alyona bought, even though she would only use it for a couple hours. Nevertheless, the already fangirling Elena became an awestruck little, obedient girl when she saw the Carrier while in space, let alone when she went in and started walking through its corridors. She met Elyor, Ocilote, Loon, and Grietta, who stole Heian Ciemnosc’s mouth when she saw him.

But Elena didn’t mind for an instant as she even thought Heian Ciemnosc had been too peaceful recently, especially considering how fast his cultivation might have improved all this while. Taking a mental note to have her mighty and terribly handsome husband release some more to calm his instincts occasionally, Elena was led to the Carreir’s center before she knew it. Even as hours have passed with her wandering around.

As they proceeded with the marriage ceremony, Elena was dressed with Hong Mei’s leaves, giving Elena a wonderful wedding dress without exaggeration or looking too fashionable. The leaves were also white, beautifying her pale skin as she looked fantastic. On the other hand, Heian Ciemnosc showed up to their ceremony with his dark coat and an Alyona behind him, who looked on with calmness. However, behind her black-coffee eyes was a proud, mature woman seeing her growing husband marry another perfect wifey for himself.

Elena and Heian Ciemnosc became bonded by nature. Their marriage was overseen by Mother Nature as Hong Mei did all the work. When it concluded, Heian Ciemnosc didn’t hesitate to bring her away. They were more than prepared to help Elena breakthrough. Hong Mei and Alyona didn’t follow, but their Spirit Sense did, to Elena’s unbeknownst. When Heian Ciemnosc arrived at his bedroom, only 10 minutes passed before pure energy imploded everywhere.

There was no foreplay or consideration for the weak, Heian Ciemnosc impaled and fanned flames inside someone’s womanly, now a wifey, hole until she started tightening so much he could almost have lost his virile member. Her breakthrough was without trouble, but Heian Ciemnosc had to continue holding her and moving their bodies. His hips and bum by himself, and her waist and body with his hands and arms.

While she was unconscious, and Heian Ciemnosc continued the dual cultivation method, her Soul was officially formed. It had already started taking shape and setting a foothold in her inner self. Still, it wasn’t ‘real’ but a hunch and a saying up until she began breaking through. Heian Ciemnosc felt his dark Power Energy, Spirit Sense, and himself being slowly tasted and eaten away by Elena and her Soul as her body continued bouncing up and down and back and forth. Depending on her position, if she was placed on his lap or taken with her back against the mattress.

Heian Ciemnosc was slow, mainly because it was difficult to continue going as fast and deep as before, which only made his focus to keep the dual cultivation seriously working challenging to retain. The sight didn’t help, her flattest body ridiculously perfect in his eyes as he made love to his little unconscious wife. It sounded strange but was a most unconventional, caring scene as her cultivation base rapidly stabilized. It even began increasing as Heian Ciemnosc felt his cultivation base at the Spirit Formation realm 10th stage advancing despite having reached its maximum.

It wasn’t growing or improving but simply becoming… more. Heian Ciemnosc became addicted, and as time passed, with Elena’s Soul formed and her cultivation base soaring into the 2nd stage, he continued making love to her until 10 hours went by. She was close to the 3rd stage, and when Heian Ciemnosc felt another major leap in his cultivation base, locked because of his Soul’s strange restriction, she woke up and finally climaxed all-out instead of just a little.

Elena hugged Heian Ciemnosc’s body with all her limbs. Her neck even entangled with his as she tried penetrating his skin with her nails, only to be softly recoiled back as he finally released, letting her belly bloat after several minutes until he finished letting his frustration go. Then, after about 20 minutes of gentle, warming kisses. The other wives came in. Elena lay on the bed as her vulva vomited his sperm and spoke to Hong Mei on his bed, dirtying it.

On the other hand, Heian Ciemnosc stood, fully dressed with Alyone on his right as he leaned to the left, exhausted after such a brand-new dual cultivation method’s use. She placed her hand on his right shoulder and inclined her head atop her hands’ back. “How are you feeling? Is everything okay?”

Hearing her concerned words, Heian Ciemnosc’s body felt the warmth of love inside as he lifted his right arm to encircle her lower back, placing his hand below her right-sided ribcage. Slanting his head towards her, he softly said in a quiet tone as Elena and Hong Mei spoke while blushing, whispered things to each other, and looked at him with knowing glares, wide eyes, and lusty, little smiles.

“Everything is alright,” Heian Ciemnosc continued after cracking his bones, “You’ve noticed my Soul’s strangeness?”

“Mhm,” Alyona nodded and took this chance to rub her nose on his shoulder. “It’s somewhat restrained, isn’t it? I can tell it’s not done by ‘someone’ or something, but as if… as if there was something you lack. Just as a peak Spirit Rebirth realm cultivator cannot break into the Second Step no matter how much pure energy they transform into their own and how great their energy is… Only knowledge and the required instruction to breakthrough would allow such progress.”

“Mn,” Heian Ciemnosc hummed lightly and looked at Elena’s bum as her flowery lips burped another 100g of his sperm. Shaking his head at the absurd sight, he grinned. Just then, Alyona’s head raised, her lips behind his right ear as she sultry whispered into it. “Thank you for all those images. They made me content. Even the one where Gloria… hehe, is she no longer distant to you?”

“Mhm, I pat her head whenever I see her. She’s like my daughter. And Aleksander, my son.” Heian Ciemnosc said without feeling weird or shaken off at all. Alyona grinned and suckled his ear lobule, invading it a little with her tongue before pulling the lobule, sucking on it, and letting go with a ‘pah!’. Heian Ciemnosc kept his eyes closed and deeply enjoyed the treatment. Except for her playful invasion, everything seemed comfortable.

“Too many talks about parenting. We can’t have that now, even if we could, right?” Alyona whispered, Heian Ciemnosc nodded, and they both held hands as they watched Elena become used to showing her everything to Heian Ciemnosc’s wives. She would only need a few more years since they could only meet once unless they graduated before she joined Alyona’s club. Alyona added, “You can’t think of the future. Keep your head in the present. Or I’ll ignore you and tell Hong Mei to not let you see her smile.”

“Threatening me like this, you’re asking for trouble,” Heian Ciemnosc evilly grinned, making Alyona remember all the things he can do to them with his body, especially his dark fangs and strange methods to penetrate all-in impossibly. Alyona shook her head to keep her head cool and hugged his waist. Heian Ciemnosc moved her so he could embrace her with both arms, her massive chest against him as she leaned her head on him like a hopeless living being.

As she closed her eyes, she was like a child falling into a deep slumber in her parent’s arms, something she never had. At least not more than a few times.

. . .

Heian Ciemnosc was now 18 years, 1 month, and 2 weeks old. It was the first day of the 1st month’s 3rd week, and he was already in a space station where about 10,000 Students were moving and preparing the Fighters they owned.

Heian Ciemnosc walked through the space station’s hangar, checking the other teams’ checking of their Fighters, Bulldogs, Sweet Carolinas, and the General Model. The teams accompanying Heian Ciemnosc were each of at least a few hundred. Every team had a Second Step Leading Student with them. In Heian Ciemnosc’s case, it was Clarke, and Arla was on Elena’s team. Cari was also here, whose Second Step Leading Student was Yon.

It seemed as if all those known to the Concealed Ornament Team were here, but only those few Heian Ciemnosc was familiar with were around. The rest were all slightly familiar faces from afar during the war for the CO Team or not. After all, the previous war had 3 wide, extremely long battlefronts. The CO Team traveled back and forth to deal with situations, losing about 17 of their people, which were replenished quickly and trained up to par with the rest.

Ever since their first payout and to now, the Concealed Ornament Team owned 10 Fighters without counting Heian Ciemnosc’s Ornament. There were 2 General Model, 6 Sweet Carolina, and 6 Bulldogs. They were now each with their arsenal completed and full of missiles in their storage, well protected that even if the Fighter went boom, they would not.

Step, tank- step, step- tank…

Heian Ciemnosc continued walking towards his team. He saw Elena talking to Arla, who had just come from her bedroom, smelling of him, and seemed engrossed in their chatter. Heian Ciemnosc sniffled outwards once before looking at his Team. They were already done and simply waving their machine guns, analyzing their missile guidance systems, and chatting with each other about their babies. To the side, Sakura, Oleg, Cari, and Victor were cleaning his Ornament, letting its already light-consuming paint faint into the background despite the latter being gray.

When they noticed him, Heian Ciemnosc nodded at them before turning around and looking at everyone in the hangar. With his position in this mission, which he was ordered to effectuate, but Heian Ciemnosc himself planned, he announced to everyone in a voice that reached everybody’s ears and rumbled in their chests!

“Attention everyone!! Get your things ready. Our vessel has arrived and departs in 3 hours. You’re all authorized to fly into its hangar. No delays allowed!!”

His Concealed Ornament Team, Elena’s Crystal Fist Team, and Cari’s team didn’t have a reaction, already aware of this side of him. But the rest of the Teams, somewhat mixedly, became aroused at the prospect of flying into space for the first time! It was limited and not for battle… but… it was their first time flying into space!!

“Yes, Commander!!!” They — most of them — shouted…
