The Holy Beast Labyrinth, which would take several days to reach on foot or by carriage from the Red Clan’s village, took less than a few hours under the power of Lyra’s wings.
“A Black Dragon… so, in other words, two dragons… and there are actually two Dragon Riders…?”
As Neia flew on Lyra’s back, muttering aimlessly to herself, the tiny phantom Lyra chuckled and corrected her.
“Hmph. The Dragon Covenant does not state that two dragons cannot serve the same justice… though, perhaps, they simply love different sides of the same man.”
“Eh, but… no, if it’s a man, then does that mean Mr. Smyson…?”
“Indeed.”
“E-Eh…? But, Mr. Smyson is… well…”
“What we desire is not power. What we desire is not logic. What we desire is not even bonds.”
”?”
“A dragon simply chooses its rider. That is the nature of a Dragon Rider. …Does a lack of power mean a lack of qualification? No. Can grand logic force a dragon to submit? No. Does the depth of a bond determine the quality of a rider? No. …Do not forget, do not be mistaken: a dragon does not choose a rider based on merit. It is not possible that all dragons would obey simply because one is strong, kind, or beautiful. It is not about being a hero, nor about authority; it is merely that the dragon’s heart makes an eternal decision. That is all.”
“Uh… um…?”
“Andy Smyson is weak, foolish, and childish, and has not lived with us for long, yet the way he has lived has commanded two dragons. That is the simple truth. No other prerequisites are required for a Dragon Rider.”
”…”
“Hmph. Did you call yourself a Hero? …Did you assume that one who commands dragons must be a great hero or a person of high nobility?”
“Ah, no… well, I suppose.”
“The strong require no further aid. Dragons do not bow to the worldly nobility. Dragons do not concern themselves with the learned. Ceremony is tasteless in the presence of pure affection.”
“Then, why him…?”
Little Lyra smiled.
“Because I felt that, with him, I would have no regrets.”
We landed near the Holy Beast Labyrinth.
“Welcome. You’ve arrived much earlier than expected.”
As if he had been watching us approach from afar, Diel greeted us promptly atop his unicorn.
“I am traveling through the woods with Mr. Smyson. We arrived in the Red Clan territory, but couldn’t think of anything particularly interesting near the village.”
Aina said this nonchalantly. Diel gave a wry smile.
“Well, compared to gold and silver… our village might not be all that exciting.”
“So, since we are passing through, I thought we might see the face of the Holy Beast before moving on. We happened to run into Lady Lyra and her companions on the way.”
“I see. …Well, I suppose I can at least serve you a cup of tea.”
Diel turned his unicorn around to head back. I, Aina, Lyra, Diane, Aurora, and Neia followed in a procession behind him.
After a brief welcome at the camp, we made our way to the Holy Beast Labyrinth (specifically, the meadows above it). There, many young elves were conversing, playing harps and flutes, or practicing swordsmanship and archery. It felt more open than the camp in front of the labyrinth, and there were many things to learn from Blakecore. For them, this might be an ideal place in a sense.
“Hey there!”
“Welcome. I could see you coming from far away.”
Blakecore ran up to us, shaking hands with Aina and me. He looked genuinely happy, which made me feel a little happy, too.
“So, what brings you here? How long are you staying?”
To a happily inquiring Blakecore, I explained the events that had unfolded up to this point—though, naturally, I glossed over the details of where we had been getting intimate.
“I see…”
“I’m thinking of heading to the White Territory tomorrow.”
At Airlina’s words, Breakcore wore a complex expression—one that seemed a little disappointed, yet also as if to say she was glad she would be staying here until tomorrow.
And then.
“I… I have heard rumors, of course, but you really existed… the Holy Beast…!” Neia, who was naive in her own way, was visibly excited.
“U-Um, is it true that you’re incredibly strong? And the stories about you being immortal…”
“Whether I’m incredibly strong right now is debatable; I’m at about half my prime. As for being immortal, that’s true. Well, I’m confident I won’t be killed easily. Want to spar?”
“N-No, thank you! Um… also, is it true you’ve lived for thousands of years? The rumors say you experienced the era of the Beastkin Co-Prosperity Sphere and the era of the Geo Lords.”
“I’ve heard such things existed. But the Elves closed off the forest as soon as things got dangerous, so I wouldn’t say I truly know.”
She was asking a suspicious amount of questions, but I didn’t understand half of the subject matter.
“You’re surprisingly studious, Neia,” Diane remarked, impressed.
“What even are things like the ‘Beastkin Co-Prosperity Sphere’ or ‘Geo Lords’?”
“More than a thousand years ago, there was an era with those kinds of nation-states… Well, they are stories from an age so old that even commoners have no legends left of them. You’ve studied well, Neia.”
”…To me, even the Trot Kingdom and the Elven Forest were just stories from a legendary age, you know?”
“Ah…”
In the Kingdom of Carlwin, the world had supposedly ended three hundred years ago. Everything regarding this side of the world, across the Monster Territory, was essentially a history lesson.
Night.
Much more modest than the previous bear hotpot feast, a banquet was held under the stars of the prairie, though over a dozen of Diel’s close aides had still made an appearance. The banquet eventually drew to a close, and after the thoughtful Diel and the others had retired early…
“Now then, Andy.”
“Indeed. Lord Smythe, the night is still young, is it not?”
Under the moonlight, two white-haired women were pressing against me with sultry eyes.
“I feel a bit bad about being so forward just because it’s nighttime…”
Though my words were demure, my hands were naturally stroking Breakcore’s hair. After confirming her enthusiasm by the way she reacted to my fingers combing through her locks, I slowly reached for her breasts. Yes, I am sorry. I was up for it from the very start.
”…By the way, did you set up an illusion barrier?”
“I put one up, for now…”
Airlina nodded bashfully as she guided my hand beneath her clothes. That’s right. Even though Diel and the others had retired, Neia and Diane were still talking about history and astronomy just on the other side of a single rock. While Aurora and Lyra might be fine, Neia couldn’t be dragged into this. Well, I have done lewd things in front of Luna and the others before, though.
“Well, I’m a little worried that it’s not a perfect deceptive illusion.”
“Do you doubt my skill?”
”…To be honest, regarding your magical skill, it’s less a matter of doubt and more that I simply don’t know.”
“Hmph.”
Well, since I don’t really know how much magic Neia can actually perform, I lacked the evidence to either believe or disbelieve her.
“Well, if you want to see, I’ll show you… nnh.”
I kissed her while touching Airlina’s shallow breasts directly through the armpit of her clothing. Then, I pulled my lips away to kiss Breakcore, who was kneading her breast with her other hand.
“Ngh… You really do love that greedy pose, with a woman in each arm.” “I’m just savoring the joy of having two beautiful women and being allowed to hold them both.” Well, to be honest, I knew it was a selfish, almost sacrilegeless composition. …But. “Ho. Are you saying two is enough?” “And I don’t recall ever refusing you since the first time you held me, you know?” As if on cue, Lyra and Aurora popped out from behind a rock where they had been hiding from Diane and the others. ”…Wait, the illusion is—” “Who do you think I am?” …I suppose mediocre illusion magic isn’t effective against a dragon. “Hmph.” Aerina looked sour, her spell having been effortlessly dispelled. “Now, if possible, I would like you to yield her to me. I can only make such requests when Andy comes here.” Breakcore was sounding a bit desperate. However, the two intruders merely wore beaming smiles. “Ho ho. Do not underestimate this man.” “Do you really think Andy-san would back down against only four people?” …No, well, yeah, I mean, one or two rounds per person would be fine with four people, sure. But enough of that. “Alright, Breakcore, strip!” “Ah, ugh…” “And Airina, you strip too!” “Wha—!?” Leaving Breakcore to strip on her own, Airina began to undress herself with her own hands. One after another, two naked bodies were revealed beneath the moonlight. “Lyra, Aurora, you strip and get over here too!” “Ho. Now that’s starting to sound like my Master♪” “I don’t dislike this sort of thing either♪” Lyra and Aurora hurriedly, yet voluptuously, shed their clothes. I had the two of them drop down onto all fours.
On the moonlit meadow, the white buttocks of an elf and a non-human girl were lined up side by side. Their builds and auras were completely different, yet each possessed a naked form of exceptional beauty. “Breakcore, thrust your hips harder.” “Ngh, hauh… It’s… just like a beast…♪” “A beast, alright. A holy beast.” ”…No doubt. Your aura, too… is that of a starving male…♪” If you only heard the words, she sounded perfectly calm. But hearing her voice, I slowly began to violate Breakcore, who sounded as if she were desperately trying to suppress her rising excitement.
“Hyuh, ngh…!! I-it’s in…” “Yeah, it’s in… Ah, it’s in, all the way to the back…!!” “Nn… Ah, I knew it, I’m so happy… When you enter me, I feel so much joy, it fills me all the way to my chest…♪” “Ngh…!” On all fours, her back arched, Breakcore showed me her melting face through the space between her arms and armpits. Looking up at that inverted face, I began to move my hips slowly. Under the faint moonlight, I gripped her pleasantly thick limbs from behind and slammed my hips against her. Remaining on all fours, Lyla, Irina, and Aurora all cast envious gazue at Breakcore, who was reveling in pleasure with her hair disheveled. From the corner of my eye, I saw nectar beginning to drip from the crotches of the three women waiting in eager anticipation. Ah, I want to ravage them too. Irina’s small buttocks, Lyla’s voluptuous buttocks, and Aurora’s slender, slightly delicate buttocks. I wanted to hurry and violate those buttocks that were salivating at the mere thought of my cock. “…Alright.” “Ah…” After thrusting for a while, I pulled my cock out of Breakcore’s ass. Then, I grabbed the small Irina’s buttocks beside her and inserted myself into her secret place. “Fuah…♪” “Won’t… won’t you pour it into me, too…?” “Later. Right now, all these asses look too delicious.” “…You really are greedy… I’ll be waiting, so come to me quickly…♪” Breakcore, writhing her still-unsatisfied hips to assert her lust, and Irina, who let me enjoy myself to the fullest within her tight vagina. After thrusting through her vagina for a time, I moved to the next ass. To Aurora’s ass. “Haah… A-Andy’s cock…♪” “Hey, hey, Aurora… Isn’t it a huge deal that you’re here in the Northern Forest, by a labyrinth like this, being stripped naked by a human and happily wagging your ass while taking a cock inside you…!?” “Fufu… Of course, it is a huge deal… If my brother found out, it would be quite something…♪” Aurora replied with a deliberate smile to my provocative, almost mocking words. “Me, Lady Irina of the White, and the Desert Dragon, the Holy Beast…!! To use this many women all at once as you please to ejaculate… this is a privilege that belongs to Andy-san alone, now or ever…♪” “Hoho, that luxury won’t be complete unless I use it as well, you know…? Come, use this womb as well, my Master♪” “I’ll use it without being told, you perverted dragon!!” “Nfuh…♪ It is good; your masculine thrusts are overpowering me♪” “Uoo, oh, oh… ngh, ugh… Not yet!” From Aurora to Lyla. And then to the next ass. …Hm? “…W-wait, what?” When I shifted even further to the side, there was yet another ass. It was only after I had grabbed it with momentum and thrust into it that I realized something was wrong. “Eh, ah…?” “Nfuh… What is it, Andy?” “…W-when did this happen?” “Fufu. You’re being too wild; you’ll have to lower your voice a little more♪”
Before I knew it, Diane-san had joined in at the edge of the group. For some reason, I felt a wave of relief seeing it was Diane-san. Feeling relieved, I continued to thrust my hips for about a minute. Then, I ejaculated inside her. “Hau… it’s so hot…♪” “Will you not release inside me as well…?” “I, too, would like to receive some.” “I… I-I want you to pour it into me at least once, since we’re already at it.” “Ho ho ho, you are quite popular. Of course, it is no problem even if you can no longer hold it back inside me♪” “Argh, enough! I’m going to ravage you all in reverse order! Get ready—everyone, lift your asses high!” ”♪” Carried by the momentum, I continued to fuck them one after another, breeding them in succession. Despite the fantastical setting of a vast grassland bathed in pale blue light, the women were strangely lively and seemingly having fun, and I did nothing but relentlessly pour my seed into them.
I had a feeling I was forgetting something.
”…” At dawn, I discovered Neia behind a rock, pretending to sleep with a wide-brimmed hat pulled over her face. ”…Neia.” ”…Zzz…” Her sleeping breaths were so incredibly obvious. “Maybe I should take advantage of the situation…” I tested the waters with an ominous remark. I could tell Neia flinched in fear. …No, no, there’s no point in bullying Neia. There really isn’t. ”…Lailah!! Diane-san!! Why didn’t you redo the illusion!!” “Ho, ho ho, well, it was a matter of timing.” “And, if you fall behind, it becomes quite difficult, so, uh, I prioritized getting in.”
In the morning sun, the naked Breakcore, Aurora, and Irina were sleeping together like close little kittens.
