Departed With A Few, Returned With Lots

Oceanic Rivers' center. 69th year, 9th month, 1st week and 6th day of the Change.

A couple million kilometers underwater. Heian Ciemnosc stood in the water, a few meters above the floor from a palace's entrance. Anastasia, Molto, and Etherea were with him. He wanted to bring his Team, too, but they were busy trying hard to cultivate into the Farsighted realm godly stage. They weren't too far from it, but with Heian Ciemnosc having gained such advantage, he was bound to never be surpassed again. Hopefully.

“Father, you aren’t going to betroth me or something. Right?” While waiting for something to happen, Anastasia looked at her father and asked. Heian Ciemnosc didn’t respond to her but lifted his right hand and flicked the shit out of her forehead.

Although Anastasia didn’t react like a little girl, she felt her skin itchy after the stinging sensation. She silently looked ahead, ignoring any other silly thoughts she wanted to tease her father with. Commanding assistant Etherea comforted Anastasia while Molto’s slightly widened eyes darted.

Tu- TUMP…

Finally, the gates they were facing opened. They weren’t slow, although their noise when opening was extremely loud to sound as if it happened just before them when Heian Ciemnosc and the rest were 10,000 km away. The colossal gates, several kilometers wide and a few tens of kilometers tall, gave exit to countless draconic Fauna. They moved to the sides without daring to swim forward and floated at the side.

…Ruuumbleee… … STOOMP…

The floor quaked as the bottom most floor levels in the oceanic rivers rippled. The few millions of soldier units looked at Heian Ciemnosc in the same way that any other guard and passing Fauna did when Heian Ciemnosc came down here. Their eyes trembled as their scales shrilled in fear.

Heian Ciemnosc looked at the gate as an enormous aquatic Fauna showed up before them. Its face and neck were first seen, looking like a snake whose sales gained a barb or 2 at their lower ends. It had only 2 eyes, but its head was mostly flat. Unlike virtually any other aquatic Fauna, it had wings.

Its wings were accompanied by talons, not exactly claws or limbs, but simply a few curved exterior bones dangling from its wings’ lower extremities. It only had a pair of wings that went from its shoulders to its ribs, about a third of its length. Its head moved upwards immediately to take the rest of its body out, as it dared not escape Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle… Heian Ciemnosc looked up at the long fella, who hadn’t completely come out of the gates but stopped. It looked down at Heian Ciemnosc, but its head gradually lowered to meet with his body’s level. Even then, with its enormousness, the aquatic Fauna Preternatural in the Farsighted realm wouldn’t be able to look face to face with Heian Ciemnosc even if it stuck its chin to the floor.

“Oh, what’s this? I’m not good enough for you to exit your palace completely? Am I unworthy?” Heian Ciemnosc asked, gesturing at the gates, where the aquatic Fauna still remained. The Preternatural looked at Heian Ciemnosc and its hundreds of meters wide eyes shook.

“It is not… that… my liege…” The Preternatural spoke. Heian Ciemnosc lifted his eyebrows and gently jerked his neck backwards. “Oh, that’s one way to name me. See, I had an idea before, as I checked everything that wasn’t the north before. I’m sure you could tell, with how only your Spirit Sense remained attached to a mere Life-Long realm cultivator back then.”

“...” The Preternatural remained silent, either because it didn’t dare speak to interrupt Heian Ciemnosc, or because he was helpless. Its eyes darted between Heian Ciemnosc and its kin, but it remained focused on the former.

“That’s alright,” Heian Ciemnosc continued. He spoke calmly, “A Blue Drake. Magnificent species, and one of the closest to your innately superior, the Dragon Race. Although you are so imperfect your reproductive capabilities are worse than old-day Demons and Elves, you’ve managed to amass these many in a few ten thousands of years. That’s commendable.”

“Thank you, honored… black monster,” the Preternatural said, bowing its head and closing its eyes subserviently. Heian Ciemnosc clicked his tongue in purpose before commenting, “Your speech is too good for a hidden drake. You made a ‘deal’ with the southerners in the past. Didn’t you?”

“...” The Preternatural was slightly shaking now. Its talons fidgeted on the floor, lifting sand and fish carcasses. Heian Ciemnosc continued still, “After you beat them out of the waters and annihilated half the organizations who arrived her on the south. You let a few of your offspring come inland and ‘shake hands’ with those fellows, didn’t you? Only, they weren’t aware of this deal because they were too busy massacring most of those children, leaving only 2 behind.”

“Mn, you can’t really blame them when you nearly killed everyone with the other aquatic clans. However, you remained the king of the aquatic Fauna clans, although they ‘rebelled’ against you. But that was in accordance with your desires because that would be your vendetta to the people who stupidly killed off your goodwill. Am I right?”

“My liege… speak… of the vital… matters… you bring me.” The Preternatural struggled to speak. Heian Ciemnosc looked up at it and slightly nodded consecutively before hanging his head to the left, looking at the floor. Then, he looked at the Blue Drake Preternatural in the Farsighted realm supreme stage before grinning from the left corner of his mouth.

“Oh. Then, surrender or die… I can give you my wings, or take yours.” Heian Ciemnosc’s countenance changed. Ultimate coldness emanated from his darkest eyes as his words echoed everywhere around the few million drakes. Conversely, the Blue Drake Preternatural was calm, looking at Heian Ciemnosc as if such a thing was expected. Of course, it was.

“... I accept. What do you want…? My children’s slavery? Mine? Their Spirit Heart-Links? Loyalty for an eternity, remaining in one place forever?!” The Preternatural spoke proposal after proposal. The ripples around its snot became more and more extensive as the self-deprecating tone in its voice increased.

“You can leave a few of your drakes here if you’d like, but you and your people are now mine. You have 2 months to come inland and prepare to come with me. I won’t come looking for you if that isn’t the case. One last thing, don’t come up there if it’s not at least 80% of your people coming with you.” Heian Ciemnosc gestured upwards and calmly said.

“...” The Preternatural became pensive, but it bowed its head, nuzzling the ground with its nose as its eyes looked straight into Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes. Meanwhile, the rest of the blue drakes became restless, ready to pounce on Heian Ciemnosc as soon as their ‘king’ gave the order. However, it never came.

Guuuuurgle… The Preternatural raised its head as its children, grandchildren, etc; became too noisy. Its movement caused large waves, several tens of meters tall, to crash about on the water’s surface a couple million kilometers above them. ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRR~~!!

“...” Heian Ciemnosc watched the Preternatural’s eyes harden as it looked at its people. Its wings elevated, causing even more disorder above. Its people quickly quieted down as they looked at their king, who had submitted to a ‘Human’, berate them on this person’s behalf. These restless aquatic Fauna couldn’t do a single thing besides obeying.

“See you soon,” Heian Ciemnosc calmly spoke before turning around. He left with his daughter and subordinates before him, held by his Vocón Link. The Preternatural looked at Heian Ciemnosc’s back with fully opened eyes, becoming pensive and hopeful. At last, it lowered its head, slightly depressed.

***

A few days later, in the Medium City. Heian Ciemnosc’s bedroom.

Grietta and Tania lay sprawled diagonally to Heian Ciemnosc, who was in the center, with their heads positioned in opposite directions. They were bare, and with countless small and big bites on their spotless skin and fit bodies. On the other hand, Heian Ciemnosc was loosely wrapped in his bed’s blankets, with Headmaster Denisse naked, lying on his side without coverage.

“Mnff…” She woke up and looked at Heian Ciemnosc before tightening the hold her legs had around his waist. She smiled and licked her lips before administering her affection on his neck, ears, overly pale red lips, and started masturbating him slowly.

“I’ve seen Dylan’s actions. His heart is prepared to bring you to an altar, or the sort.” Heian Ciemnosc said as Denisse’s hand momentarily stopped before sweetly caressing him with more detail. She nodded and breathlessly said, “My ‘liege’, I have enjoyed our time together. If it wasn’t for your formidable will and heart, I might’ve become a Bright or Silhouette realm cultivator already, but I thank you. These years have been lovely.”

“You spark too nice for someone willing to abandon my bed,” Heian Ciemnosc titled his head as Denisse unceremoniously searched his groin with her face. When suckling noises started, Denisse spoke to him amidst her administrations, not bothering with Soul messaging. “Mn, it would be perfect if my liege could become my husband, too. But the heart is valuable, while our bodies are just breathing and moving.”

“Mn,” Heian Ciemnosc tilted his head rightwards as Denisse stopped talking and engulfed his member. Before long, she straddled him and furiously kissed him with tenderness until the morning became the evening and her eyebrows were sunk in her sweaty, exquisite face. Their hands were intertwined and her hips inadvertently rocketing back and forth during their last few moments together in the same bed.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Fumble! Denisse fell on the bed on Heian Ciemnosc, letting Heian Ciemnosc’s chest embrace her from behind. To feel his warmth for the last time all over her body, it felt fantastic. Heian Ciemnosc unceremoniously hugged her tummy. His strong, overly pale arms were across her torso below her ribs as his words tickled on the after effect Denisse suffered.

“You can tell the Heraxle Clan now, I’m leaving as soon as they send someone.” Heian Ciemnosc’s words didn’t end there as he temptingly moved his fingertips across her viscous, palpitating, puffy labia. He grabbed his behemoth and uncaringly inserted it with a smooth set of movements from his hips as he added, “I’ll let some more Blue Drakes with you. You don’t have to worry about something. I’ll pick you up when the time is ready. Focus on progressing.”

“My liege, that…” Denisse said, feeling her womb thirsting for his sperm more. She lifted her hands and hugged his head from behind as she couldn’t help herself anymore with his large hands cupping her small breasts completely, pleasuring her greatly. Heian Ciemnosc convinced her with her ears reddening even more, “Shhhh… You cannot refuse this, I won’t allow you to. Feed me until tomorrow, then you can leave my arms.”

“Yes… my liege♡!” Headmaster Denisse didn’t hesitate as her body strongly rocketed back and forth. She arched her back from the sharp, pristine pleasure of eating her ‘master’s’ body. Before long, she became a recipient he bathed with countless pleasure and his sperm. Even when she felt her consciousness drifting, her body and mind struggled for more.

. . .

2 months and 2 weeks later.

The world can change so fast. Before even the most time-conscious civilians and citizens noticed, nearly 20 years passed. The Calatida Region from before and now were truly unrecognizable. After nearly 8 years, the birth rate was an astronomical couple of tens of millions. This was just for the first decade that hasn’t even ended. Anyone could tell the future this Kingdom could hold from all its previous stories and whatnot.

The fortresses remained a popular place for many inhabitants to live. Its warring, defensive nature didn’t make them shy away. After all, they’ve known severe losses already. They couldn’t feel afraid of a situation when they could live so peacefully and had to start history here.

But in the Medium City, it was starting to come to live at its fullest. What was once 2 villages placed in the middle to facilitate trading became the one and Medium City. Sooner rather than later, it will brim with endless vigor as the world continues to rotate in the cycle of life.

But now, the Medium City was filled in one of its districts, barely enough people were here to form part of the departure of their supreme commander. So much has happened, and as they stood and sat in a tremendously giant plaza, with a mobile structure in the center, where the supreme commander stood with his vice commanders, old and new. Some brand-new Officers, and his Eternal Return Team, among others, were also present.

Everyone watched the supreme commander from whichever angle they could. He was tall, muscular, and looked at the sky as if waiting for something. The supreme commander talked with his rumored daughter, who participated in the war as a Second Step cultivator. It was said she didn’t wish to break into the Third Step yet, although she could have.

The two Crimsonbreaking Factions’ precious goddesses were also there, looking at the people as they enjoyed seeing the sight. They would have never cared, but knowing this was all made by their ‘Little Cici’, they couldn’t help but feel like these people were quite honest and likable.

“Supreme commander! Supreme commander! Supreme commander!” - “Look! He just grinned, my gaaaawwd…” - “Oops, another fainted.” - “Hey, look. Another easy prey!” - “Kukukuku…” - “Ah, no! I’m awake!” - “Tsk, as if anyone believed her.” - “Yup.” - “Look! He’s teasing his daughter again! Kyaaaa~~! The supreme commander is a family-loving man! Where did all those warm and dependable men go? Sigh…” - “... Marrying is such a blessing!” - “We should have tens of kids per marriage!” - “Agreed, brothers!”

WHOOSH!!- WHOOSH, WHOOSH- FLUTTER…

“Look!!” Suddenly, someone shouted. Even citizens and civilians knew what the shout was about. They turned around to face the direction where tremendous wind-movement was heard. At first, they couldn’t tell what it was, but after staring in that direction, their eyes widened and minds blanketed.

“It’s them!!” - “They’re really coming, huh?” - “Scary…” - “Yeah… Wait! How many are there? Holy shit! So many…” - “This is the supreme commander’s weight. What did you expect?” - “Woo- waah! They’re coming!” - “Shut up! They came because of the supreme commander’s orders! Why would they care about feasting on idiots like you?!” - “That hurts.” - “...”

Indeed, just as everyone looked that way, in the northwestern direction, they saw a plethora of dots becoming bigger and bigger. But that wasn’t all. Outside the plaza, 300,000,000 soldier units were formed and didn’t seem to be there to parade. They were in a waiting stance, watching everyone from the outside while eyeing the small path made in the middle of the plaza’s south.

When the Blue Drakes appeared, they stared at them as if looking at their future companions, and the truth wasn’t far from that.

The leading Fauna was an enormous monster that simply shouldn’t be able to come outside the water without causing a commotion. Without Heian Ciemnosc’s arrangements years before he went to look for the Blue Drakes’ king, problems would’ve arisen.

“...” When the Blue Drakes were only a few tens of seconds from arriving, a couple of hundred kilometers away, Heian Ciemnosc turned his head to look at them. At that moment, everyone felt as if an exciting, historical event had just happened. But Heian Ciemnosc was simply gazing at the Preternatural giant, who looked at the people around them with a strange notion.

Heian Ciemnosc could feel its trepidation and anxiousness, as if its scales were melting under their eyes. The Blue Drake king blew hot steam through its several nostrils after smoothly landing on the ground. If it wasn’t careful, it might even shake the entire City to a few buildings turning into dust. The City’s materials used to build were top-notch Third Step, but this was still a Drake.

It looked around before staring in Heian Ciemnosc’s direction. It had to stand in another district with an empty park, which Heian Ciemnosc chose so that things could run smoothly and still show off.

“...” Heian Ciemnosc nodded at the humongous head. The Preternatural giant nodded after seeing Heian Ciemnosc. The inhabitants pointed at it and took many photos either by their cellphone or Soul. It was difficult to see an aquatic Fauna make it out of the water, let alone a Blue Drake with aquatic Fauna’s mutations/evolution that grew to an immeasurable degree.

…-Fuutoooooooomp~~!

Finally, the moment Heian Ciemnosc had been waiting for arrived. A colossal spaceship descended towards the Medium Kingdom. It wasn’t a warring instrument, but a mere vessel. However, this spaceship could hold several tens of millions at the very least, and that was for those without Fauna incubators where they could remain within Covert Space bags without harming their nature.

It wasn’t something irreversible, and could be healed rather quickly. However, it was uncomfortable. No good owner would let their Fauna have such a horrendous time in a Cover Space bags if they could help it. This spaceship was one that could make their staying in a Covert Space bag comfortable and without secondary effects.

“They’ve come! At last!” - “Yeah… I wonder how many people they’ll bring.” - “It doesn’t matter. We’re this Region’s people, not them…” - “Shh!...”

As everyone looked above, they could see large thrusters going all-out as the ginormous spaceship continued to descend. It didn’t make much noise because it wasn’t a second-hand vessel like the ones Heian Ciemnosc rode in the Wrath Nihility Academy’s war. It didn’t have enough small engines to cause the world around it to become affected by such mighty power.

WHOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH~~!

The vessel finally stopped a few kilometers above the Medium city’s tallest buildings. Its thrusters sent a hell of a wind that only concerned the empty land outside the Medium City with windy bursts. On the other hand, the paths were empty, temporarily blocked, so no incidents occurred.

From the vessel, several dozen smaller spaceships further descended into the City. Like the Blue Drakes, the spaceships had permission to enter. The rapidly descended until a hundred meters above the mobile structure where Heian Ciemnosc stood with his hands behind his back and his face looking at those spaceships above him casually.

WHOOSH… WHOOSH… A few people directly flew outside those smaller spaceships, heading towards Heian Ciemnosc as the spaceships covered a circle in the middle of the plaza. Heian Ciemnosc looked at a fatty stop 3 meters above and before him. Heian Ciemnosc titled his head to the left, reading the envoy’s Godhood Step cultivation.

“Sir black monster, supreme commander of these special operation’s forces, hahaha!” The fatty laughed, contented. He looked down at Heian Ciemnosc and added with a relieved tone. “I feel the Crimsonbreaking Faction is rising in power. It won’t be long before it truly becomes legendary. At that time, I hope there can be brotherhood between not just you and me but our people, ah?”

“...” Heian Ciemnosc ceremoniously nodded upwards, but it felt more like a greeting nod. The envoy nodded to himself before feeling something else as he looked at the 300,000,000+ soldier units placed around the plaza. Then, he looked at the few million Blue Drakes waiting at the side. He drew his lips into his mouth and licked them with a slight frown.

He turned towards Heian Ciemnosc and voiced, unconcerned. “Ah, Heian Ciemnosc. This Fauna is alright. But the soldier units aren’t needed. The Heraxle Clan doesn’t require extra troops, you should leave them here. But these Blue Dr-”

“Are mine,” Heian Ciemnosc interjected. A silence dropped. The envoy’s eyes widened. He looked at Heian Ciemnosc slightly in disbelief before opening his mouth, but Heian Ciemnosc beat him to it. “I found these darlings. I had long felt the Crimsonbreaking Faction lacked a little Fauna to play with, so I’m bringing them to my Faction.”

“This…” The envoy was perplexed. Someone intended to use drakes as pet Fauna?! Who in the hellish hell would want to see that happen? However, since Heian Ciemnosc clearly intended to use these drakes as a trophy, the envoy felt there was room for some things. He nodded and swung his robes before declaring in a loud tone, “If that is so. Then you may have them. Take them as a gift so you can familiarize yourself with extravagant pets and mounts, heh heh.”

“Now, the soldier units-”

“Also mine,” Heian Ciemnosc nodded, tilting his head leftwards as he did. The envoy became silent, but he seemed to have seen this coming. He cleared his throat and undid the closing of his robes he just made before asking, “Isn’t that… a bit too much? You’ll leave the Calatida Region defenseless… this…”

“They won’t be defenseless. Aren’t they in your protection?” Heian Ciemnosc swung his body a little, with his left knee folding slightly upwards. The envoy made a ‘wut?!’ expression, but quickly erased it and sighed. “Aiiish, Heian Ciemnosc. This is a large matter. I will discuss this with-”

“My ride is coming,” Heian Ciemnosc said. Just then, a ‘FUTOMP’ sounded from afar as the skies opened again. This time by a single spaceship, but one that carried an aura that the envoy dared not to think of too much. It moved slowly, which would probably take a few extra minutes to arrive at the plaza than the envoy’s vessel.

“May I ask you to come here? I must give you these… papers,” Heian Ciemnosc said as he summoned a few documents from his Covert Space bags. The envoy’s face went black as he lowered his floating body. Then, he extended his arm and grabbed those papers as he landed on the floor. His head quickly moved as he read throughout some contents.

Suddenly, he raised his head and nearly shouted with an interrogatory tone, “Have you not played enough?! You called this land the Crimsonbreaking Faction’s territory?! This is the Heraxle Clan’s rule! How dare-”

Heian Ciemnosc looked down as his feet separated from the ground before calmly landing on it again. This seemingly nonsensical action stopped the envoy as he looked at Heian Ciemnosc while he played with a little orange cube in his palms. Heian Ciemnosc lifted his darkest eyes and said in a quiet tone, “Oh. It’s just a title, really.”

…
