Acquiring materials and building
Hiro’s POV:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I closed my jaws and I felt how his whole body was crushed. My mouth gave out crunching sounds as the feeling of delicious meat filled my mouth. His warm blood sprayed on the insides of my mouth, which felt heavenly, while his cracking bones only made me feel like as if I’d have eaten canned-fish. Humans were so unbelievably delicious in my monster forms.
[Alice, should I leave you some?] I questioned my love, knowing that she would like to taste him as well.
[N-No?] She asked meekly, not wanting to take away my meal, but I knew that she wanted.
[Okay, then I’m leaving some for you. I’ll store him in my mouth till then, though it’s hard not to gulp him down… but anything for you. Hehe,] I answered her as I withdrawn my head.
[I’d like to eat him quickly, but this guy is at the fifth stage!! It’s not so easy to shake him off!] Alice shouted in my mind, feeling very annoyed by the guy who was chasing her.
Upon hearing her words, I felt worried. I roared at the remaining two guys in front of me, who upon seeing the bloody scene - and Charles’ blood spilling out of my mouth onto the ground - stepped back in fear with their trembling bodies. I swung my bludgeon like tail and struck them at their sides. They protected themselves with their arms and weapons so I wasn’t able to crush them, but I didn’t care that much.
On one hand, we have nothing to do with them as we don’t even know them and on the other hand, they don’t know that we have human forms, so they would never search for us. We can simply leave without anyone knowing anything about us. I was about to go and help Alice when I noticed that there is an Uridium metal chest.
Could it be that it contains some kind of treasure? Let’s take it. After quickly thinking about it I put it inside my storage space, which was in my stomach. Our monster forms had unique storage spaces, which couldn’t be damaged. It was also a good way for defense because we could devour any kind of attack with our mouths. Actually, the storage space in our stomachs feel like another world, but that should be impossible because that’s something from the fifth level onwards.
You dare to chase my woman! You are courting death. I’ll be sure to kill you later! I thought in my mind after storing away the little chest. I looked at those two guys and after thinking for a bit, I decided not to leave behind trouble, which was unnecessary. The fewer of them are alive, the better it is for us. I spat two bolts of electricity towards them, while I also used earth magic to attack them from below.
Meanwhile, I also used Hydra’s Wings. Blades of energy flew in an arc. They quickly defended themselves against my elemental attacks and then took a defensive position. Although they had ten more golems of punching strength, but it was for naught. My skills were much stronger than what any of the cultivators used, so as it struck their weapons, they were flung backward.
They flew through the air and as they stabilized themselves, all they were able to see was my wide opened mouths. I bit on their bodies and chewed on them loudly. Now only the guy at the fifth stage was present. He had a hundred more golems of strength than us so it would be very dangerous to take even a single attack of his. Adding his skill to his strength, it was better to escape for now!
I quickly flew into the sky, over the trees, which had shocking heights of one thousand and one hundred meters! My dear dragoness was being chased around by that damned bastard, which enraged me. I’ll be sure to take revenge on him. If we wouldn’t have wings and we would fly only by using our mind powers, then he could easily catch us.
Using my parallel minds, I’ve conjured four attacks with each of my head, adding up to twenty in total. I shot all of them towards him and luckily for me, he tried to defend himself by using the elements. He probably thought that his attacks were going to be stronger, but he was wrong! My attacks crushed his stupid defense and struck his body. He grunted slightly, but that was all he did.
Unfortunately, these attacks of mine didn’t matter much because, at these stages, the cultivators were very resistant against the elements. We couldn’t be damaged by the elements since our elemental bodies were complete. A cultivator at the fifth stage was also close to such a state, so elemental attacks would only hold them up. Sure enough, I saw as the smoke cleared out that he gained only a few shallow injuries, but that was alright because I wanted to divert his attention.
Thanks to my attack, he stopped for a moment, which was enough for me to fly to the side of my dragoness. We quickly started flying away, leaving this guy behind. We didn’t go towards Erihall city, to make sure that we wouldn’t become suspects. There shouldn’t be anything leading him to us and even if he can find us, by the time he does so, we’ll be strong enough to kill him.
[Are you alright Alice? Are you in pain?] I questioned her, feeling anxious that she was hurt.
[Yes, I am alright and you can feel that I’m not in pain. Fufu~ But I appreciate your caring.] Alice answered in her mind with a small laugh.
[Let’s go.] I said as we sped up and flew away.
We can simply travel to another planet when we are done with shaking him off. Now that he was out of firing range and couldn’t shoot energy attacks at us, we slowly but surely left him behind. After a while, he stopped chasing us, so I gave the remaining ‘meat’ to Alice.
[*Chew* *Gulp* Interesting... It really tastes wonderful, but somehow I’m not happy about this…] Alice thought in her mind with mixed feelings. I find eating humans disgusting, but they taste delicious in our monster forms.
After flying for a few minutes, we boarded our spaceship and flew towards planet Cyder. Traveling from Sypno to Cyder took two hours. We searched for a nice place and upon seeing the following scene, we knew that we found it. There was a little river and we heard the sound of a waterfall nearby. The water was perfectly clear and clean making me want to drink it. There was a little clearing, and trees were surrounding it since this was a forest.
“I think that this is a good place. Should we start building our house here?” I questioned Alice out of custom as I embraced her back.
“Yes, it’s a nice place, and the monsters aren’t too powerful in the area either, so we can take it easy here. I’m also sure that we can finish everything in time!” Alice said with a hopeful face, already imagining the design of this place in her head.
“Then let’s get to work!” I said happily as I swung my arm and a huge wind barrier appeared around this place. It wouldn’t be good if we were to be attacked continuously by hordes of monsters because of the noise we are going to make. I used earth magic to create a little pool, right next to the river. After filling it with a thin layer of lava, I made a formation under it, which would keep it hot and then covered it with another thick layer of earth. I started compressing the earth walls and ground of the pool, to make sure that the water isn’t going to turn muddy in the future because of it.
After doing so, I also made another thin layer of lava and after cooling it, the ‘stone walls’ of our pool was ready. I thought for a bit and decided to make another pool as well, but with sand! After doing so, I filled both of them with water and cut out a single tree in front of it, which made it possible for us, to see the stars at night. The trees were huge and thick, so a single one of them was able to cover the whole sky in front of us...
Hehe- this can also be used for something more erotic... I can see the foreshadow of wet nights! I couldn’t help myself but think of perverted things upon seeing my creation. It made me remember how beautiful Alice was when we made love in the second realm in that little hot spring.
[Ah... Don’t mind me hearing you... I totally can’t hear a single thought of yours, alright?] Alice remarked after hearing my thoughts with a sarcastic tone.
[Alright!] I said proudly without any shame upon hearing her words.
[....] She didn’t say anything through our bond upon hearing my words, but I felt that she was looking forward to what I thought of...
While I made the pools, Alice used nature magic to hollow out the tree. She left a human-sized doorway at mid-height. Then she carved out its center and made rooms into our house and she also cut a few gaps as windows. She made a kitchen, a bedroom, a living room and just for looks a guest room. It’s not like anyone is going to use it...
Alice also made a huge chamber, which had a height of four meters. The width and length of the chamber were thirty meters. Considering that the trees had a height of one thousand and one hundred meters, it was easy to imagine the diameters of their trunks.
This chamber was made so that I can put what I was doing into it. Since we had tons of Trinatimuz, we used those to strengthen the walls of our chamber. I also made a stronger smithing hammer, which would be necessary for making weapons of our own, in the near future. When I was done, I put everything into my storage space, went into our chamber and connected it to the carved out ‘wood walls’ which were actually the inside of its trunk.
This is going to be our work-house! Having a smooth and straight surface was good, no matter what you do. Its right half is going to be mine, while its left side is going to be Alice’s. Who am I lying to? We don’t have things like mine or hers… We didn’t want to be separated by walls so we simply divided it into two halves in our minds… I didn’t have to care about the smoke either since I could disperse it anytime by controlling the elements.
When we were done with the walls and everything else, we realized something. That we don’t have any furniture and that we need a very comfy, fluffy, soft bed! We both love it like that. In the kitchen, I used the remaining metal to make a fireplace and we can use our fire magic to cook. If we want to cook, that is. The tree was still stable, so we didn’t have to fear the top half of it falling over.
We went into the jungle and after finding a few weaker very fluffy beasts, we quickly hunted them down. Or so we wished it to be, but things were different. In our little hunt, we were attacked at least fifteen times by these weak monster since there were so many of them. They kept coming and coming! Luckily for us, we were able to kill the necessary amount because we found a monster, which was born for us!
It was a monster which had completely white, thick, fluffy hair covering its body. It had a height of three meters so we could easily use it to make a bed out of it. Our eyes became red with greed upon seeing it, but we had to be careful because it was at the third stage of Space Founding Realm.
Not because it might harm us, but because we didn’t want to ruin its hair. I stood far from it as I created an ice spear and filled it with a tremendous amount of Space Energy. Cultivators were immune to these elements because they could simply dissolve it into their bodies. If you logically think about it, a spear, even if it was made out of an element should still pierce cultivators, yet it didn’t do so.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
This was because they were able to dissolve it and turn it back into its original form. But this was a low-level monster and after filling this spear with so much Space Energy it would most likely die after being struck. I also added a Hydra’s Head to my attack. It would attack the monster from inside out. I threw the ice spear towards its single eye and my spear pierced straight into it. As the spear entered the monster’s body, my Hydra’s Head was released from it and started rampaging in the monster’s body, crushing its organs.
It screamed out in pain but died in a few seconds. Using my mind power, I quickly skinned the monster and stored away its hide. Meanwhile, Alice was keeping the other monsters away.
Then we went back to our house and on the way back, we were attacked five times, again... We washed its hide clean with our energies. Space Energy was pure so it could be used for cleaning purposes too, but we still preferred to have a nice bath at every night. Maybe it was related to our hot nights... We wrapped this big hide around the other fluffy hides we’ve got on our way. Like this our brand new fluffy mattress was ready to use!
But it wasn’t time to sleep. We had work to do. Firstly, we took out our Phoenix Medals. “Let’s set this place as our reincarnating position,” I said seriously as the little necklace was hanging down from between my fingers. Alice nodded upon hearing my words as she put the phoenix inside her mouth.
I did the same and I felt how that little metal medal melted down in my mouth and flooded my whole body. Afterward, it entered my cells and flooded our bodies. We felt very hot as both of us started sweating, which should be impossible since we have elemental bodies… A phoenix shaped imprint appeared in the air in front of us and after shining with the light of a sun, it dimmed out and faded away. Now if any of us were to die, then we would be recreated at this place. Secondly, we went towards our workshop to do what we had to.
Have sex. I thought jokingly in my mind. Alice, who was walking beside me, hand in hand, upon hearing my thoughts, started laughing in a very good mood.
“Pfft- Hahaha! No! We aren’t going there for that reason!” She said as she laughed while holding onto her stomach. Her wavy blonde hair was shaking along with her whole body for a few seconds until she regained her composure.
“Interestingly enough you are interested in it. Fufu~ my Alice is a little closet pervert!” I said with a smirking face as I poked her side. She looked away as she exclaimed with a slightly red face and a small stutter. “I- I’m not!”
That was totally believable. I thought upon seeing her reaction, but she tried fighting back upon hearing my thoughts.
[It was!]
I made a hard earth wall grow out of the ground behind her and pushed her against it as I held up her hands and I held onto her chin with my left hand. I put my forehead against her and looked deeply into her eyes. Her whole body was trembling, not because of the fear, but because of the excitement. Her breathing turned ragged as our lips touched for a moment. She was so vulnerable in front of me…
But only in front of me, which made me feel great. “Haah- what do you want, dear?” She questioned me, anticipating for me to say something dirty. I could take her anytime! She closed her eyes and stuck out her wet lips. Seeing her offerings, I quickly kissed her deeply as I released her arms and held onto her neck. Our tails appeared behind us and coiled together.
I hugged her tightly while we kept kissing. To be honest, a bulge was already growing in my pants, but I didn’t care about that. It wasn’t time for such a thing. We separated and started panting loudly. “*Pant* That felt great. We should kiss more~ Hehe,” Alice said as she bit onto her lips and then turned to walk towards the chamber. When she was almost out of range, I felt that her tail started pulling on mine, so I stopped spacing out and looking at her back. I quickly appeared beside her and answered her.
“You are right. Your lips were as sweet as honey!”
We flew up to the entrance of the tree and we went to our places. Both of us took out the herbs and metals we gained in those two Dungeons.
[Hey, now that I think about it, we totally forgot about that metal box.] I thought as I remembered about the box I took away.
[Oh, you are right.] Alice said as she also remembered about it, but I continued. [Well, it doesn’t matter for now. At first, let’s be done with this.]
I was pouring huge amounts of Space Energy into the fire I made, using the fire element. Its temperature was about ten thousand celsius degrees, while the sun, the Earth had; had a temperature of about fifteen millions celsius degrees. Reaching such a high degree was only possible for people at, or above the fifth level, even if our elemental bodies were complete.
I put that huge block of Uridium into the furnace to melt it. My flames melted it down in ten minutes and I used one of my minds, to keep up the high temperature inside. Using the lava element, I was able to control the melted metals, so I using that ability of mine, it was easy to get the shape of my battle hammer. I held the liquid in place and as it started cooling down, I started hammering it.
I was working on it for twelve hours, including the tempering, before finally being done with it. Afterward, I did the same with Alice’s katana and then I also made two armors. All in all, it took forty-eight hours of work, but the result was wonderful. Now all that was left for me to do was to enchant it.
All this while Alice was continuously concocting pills, which came in handy because I used up every ounce of my mind power after each weapon and armor. I didn’t spare effort to make the most powerful weapons and armors I could! Just like before, this time as well, I went over to Alice and upon stopping right behind her, she held out her hand with a few mind power restoring pills in it.
“Fufu- you sure know me well,” I whispered into her ears as I gave a kiss on her neck. She turned her head upwards with her eyes closed, making it easier for me to kiss her neck. If not for me, controlling the process with one of my minds, she would have fucked up long ago, and the herbs would have exploded. Her breathing turned ragged as she kept inhaling deeply. I left her there, hanging on the edge as I took away the pills from her hands.
[Ah! No! You foul creature! I- I’m in pain!] She moaned through our bond upon feeling the craving in her crotch. I smiled at her as I waved my hands and then put the mind power restoring pills into my mouth. I felt how it restored back my spent mind power in a few seconds and even the size of my sea of consciousness increased.
Since I spent all of it numerous times and then restored it back in a few seconds, this was a natural effect. At first, I sat down and started training in using Hydro Mind. Mind attacks were very powerful in battles because they could easily paralyze our targets. This was one of the most powerful ones, so Alice had the same mind attack in her inherent memories. I wasn’t able to do so for long because I felt Alice tugging on my back with her finger.
“I don’t have any herbs left, so let’s start,” She said with a bland voice. I thought that she wanted to start inscribing our weapons, but as I turned around, she attacked me with her body. I wasn’t able to play any longer with her draconic instincts, which took over her desires. I felt like a toy… but it felt great!
A few hours and a calm Alice later, we stopped and got to work. She added Heaviness, Smashing, and Force to my hammer. Others would call this a miracle, yet she was still able to inscribe another one onto it. Being a True Divine Beast sure is convenient... Heaviness increased the weight of my hammer by a large margin. This is a very practical inscription since I could easily activate it whenever I needed it. When swinging my hammer downwards it would come in handy.
Smashing increased the smashing force behind my hammer and Force would increase the strength I could swing my weapon with. The last is going to be Hydro Mind. Mind attacks were similar to curses, in that we had to make arrays and channel our energies through that. Curses were too complex to inscribe their arrays on weapons, but that wasn’t the case with mind attacks. Thanks to Hydro Mind being an inscription on my hammer as well, I’ll be able to use it easily, along with the other three as all I’ll have to do is to simply channel Space Energy into them.
She inscribed her katana as well, with the same, except that she inscribed sharpness instead of smashing and toughness instead of heaviness. When she was done with our weapons, she went to inscribe our armors, while I enchanted our weapons.
I enchanted mine with Weightless, Toughness, Smashing and Energy Stealing while I enchanted Alice’s with Sharpness, Toughness, Energy Stealing, and Weightless. Most of these were almost the same as the runes, but these worked passively and with a weaker effect.
Now that we were done with our weapons, we restored our mind powers by using Mind Power Restoration pills. I enchanted our armors with Toughness, Reflect, Regeneration and Restoration. Regeneration helped to heal us, while restoration could restore the armor to its original form even if it’s damaged. Reflect worked only if we were to be hit as it would cause a twenty percent backlash for our attacker.
Alice has already inscribed them with runes, which were Restoration, Extreme toughness, Deflect and Absorb. If we pour our energies into these then it could restore to its original state much faster, become much tougher than it is, deflect the incoming strike and absorb most of the force behind the attack if it can’t be deflected! For example, you can’t deflect a piercing attack with your body, but you can absorb the force behind it!
I turned into my monster form and then took out the metal box because I can take out things from my Hydra’s Storage only in my monster form. I quickly turned back into my human form and we looked at it with Alice. Now that we were done with our weapons and armors all that was left was to see what was inside this metal box!
------------------------ Frank Orchard’s Pov: ---------------------------
Those two damned monsters! For fuck’s sake! They’ve got away. Well, we lost only a single person so it should be alright for now. I thought as I flew back towards where my treasure was. He was just a loser, underling of my father. One less doesn’t make a difference. As I reached the place where the other two were supposed to be, I realized that they died as well because only patches of blood were on the ground… It’s no wonder considering how powerful these monsters were.
I felt as a shudder ran through my back when I thought about what would have happened to me if they would have been only a single stage higher than they were! I didn’t see that they died as well because I concentrated too much on the Dragon and I was too high up in the air to see such things. Stupid forest! This is why we have cut out every tree at our headquarters! We can’t see anything from them unless we use our mind powers!
I started looking for the Uridium chest I left behind in those two’s care. After using my mind power and not finding it, I suddenly felt scared as I thought of that possibility, but to my dismay, it was true! The Diamond Eye of Power was missing! It was a cultivation treasure. It could help cultivators improving their domain by at least two layers!! I found a woman who killed a monster at the eighth level, but she was seriously wounded. I waited for the right moment and assassinated the woman. I took away the monster’s core and the treasure as well.
Since she was weakened greatly I was able to kill her. Though she was still a very tough opponent and I had a hard time killing her, but after twenty minutes of struggling, I was able to. When I told about this to my clan master who is also my father he said that I should return back to our headquarters and train safely with it. He is at the eighth stage, so he didn’t care that much about it. I’ve been cultivating for three hundred years before reaching the fifth stage of Domain Space Realm.
I ascended to the third realm a hundred years before... I’m not very talented, but if I would be able to train with the Diamond Eye of Power, then I could reach the seventh stage, which would increase my life expectancy from eight hundred to nine hundred years! I would still have five hundred years remaining and in that time I could break through to the fourth level for sure!
Realizing that I was robbed, I quickly contacted my father as I felt panicked. I risked my life to get the Diamond Eye of Power, yet it was stolen from me? I’ll be sure to kill those monsters! It seems like they weren’t monsters, but damned divine beasts!
I have to contact my father and go back to Erihall city to ask around for information about who might be the enemy of this Charles. They attacked him immediately, so they had enmity with him, probably, which means that taking the chest was only by chance. If that’s so, then they might not know what it is used for. I realized it only after four days of trying... In that case, I might be able to catch them before they use it!
Time, time, time! I need more time and every help I can get!
I thought in my mind as an anxious feeling filled my heart. I took out my communication stele and after using my mind power I contacted my father.
“Father! I have a serious matter! Do you remember the Diamond Eye of Power I told you about!? It was stolen by someone!!”
“What? Who dares to steal from our Shrill Moguls clan!?”
I told him what has happened and after some thinking, he answered.
“You should go back to Erihall and ask around. I’m going to send you a few people with our spaceship. It’s going to be faster like that. We have to find it before they learn how to use it or it’s going to be impossible to get back! At that time we could only suck on our teeth bitterly and at most torture them to the death after finding them...”
“Oh by the way... If you are done with this case then you can come home and enjoy a nice present from me. We have caught an elf on planet Lark so if you want to, then I’m going to leave her pure for you. What do you say?” To my happiness, my father had such a good present for me!
An elf! Those are beauties! It’s rare to catch one because they are hiding so well and they are also very powerful! I thought happily as an evil smile slipped onto my face. Once I get my hands on them, I can enjoy a beauty!
“Yes, father! Keep her. I want to enjoy her!” I quickly answered him, feeling that someone would take her away from me.
“Hahaha- Alright my son. Now go. I’ll move and help as well if necessary,” Father answered and I couldn’t help but imagine him waving his hands for me to leave.
“Thank you, father!” I thanked him and then I didn’t wait any longer as I went towards Erihall to find the culprits of this crime. I’ll make sure that they are going to suffer by my hands!
