Chapter 464: Chapter 464. Leaving Koran City. Danger lurking around the continent.
Author Note: Things are starting to move, so here is a Trigger Warning: Death of close characters. This may happen from now on more often or not, so I won't warn so much in the future unless it is related to the main characters. Titles usually have warnings. Take them as the trigger warning~.
You ask, and I deliver. In this "paragraph comment" is the image for Dragon Yasenia. It is a partial image, Patreon has the complete image.
*******************************************
Yasenia looked at her dears and lowered her head to nuzzle them with her giant snout. "I'm back. I feel quite liberated, to be honest."
They all smiled, and Kaleina squeaked in delight. She loved her dragon mommy in this shape the most!
Kaleina jumped from Tatyana's head and landed on the enormous snout. Then she began climbing randomly around Yasenia's body.
Yasenia turned toward the rest of the people present and commented. "Is my pressure too harsh? My aura is a bit out of control in this shape, so I hope it doesn't bother all of you too much."
They instinctively felt inferior and shook their heads, explaining they didn't care.
Elder Song answers with shining eyes. "Don't worry, Lady Yasenia. You look extremely charming, and seeing you is a blessing for our eyes."
Yasenia felt the sentence was wrong, but she didn't know why. 'Elder Song has been a bit friendly lately. Did Tatyana give them many benefits in their interaction?'
Meanwhile, our girls felt their eyebrows twitching. 'This woman wants to eat dragon meat! She has been giving Yasenia these coquettish glances and being ambiguous since the beginning!'
You can't blame Yasenia since she is a bit slow in taking hidden hints about love if it isn't related to individuals she is interested in. Our dragoness could sense their attraction for her. Still, since most people had some attraction toward her, the signals sometimes got mixed, making it challenging to distinguish common interest and genuine love for her.
She was, in fact, suffering from excessive attractiveness.
Yasenia turned her head toward her girls and smiled. "Mount on my back. I'll fly with all of you. This will be the first time I fly with all of you on my back~."
Not to mention ten, Yasenia would be able to carry more than a hundred people on her back. She had more than enough space on her back.
Cecile felt an impulse and commented aloud. "My love, I'll also transform. Wait for a moment. It has been a while since we flew together."
More like they hadn't flown together in the past. But she said it like this to fool these people and assert her territory!
The feeling Cecile gave put to words was the following. 'You want to court her? First, you need to be qualified. Second, you have to step over me.'
Yasenia naturally was not against it and allowed her jealous sweetheart to do as she pleased. If Cecile told her to fly alone, she would also gladly accept. Either way, relations between powers could be deepened over time.
On the other side, her sweetheart's mood was a top priority for our pampering dragoness.
And thus, as it happened with Yasenia, another vortex of energy not less imposing gathered toward Cecile.
They all felt it and had their eyes widening in utter shock. 'Why haven't I heard about the Astral Sky Clan in the past!? Is it only open for monsters!?'
Unlike Yasenia's gradual transformation, Cecile's was more visually impacting.
As soon as she began transforming, a vortex of white flames surrounded her, creating a spinning white fireball similar to her winged human size.
However, the temperature didn't rise when the white fireball appeared. It plummeted rapidly, forcing many people to jump away from the transforming Phoenix before they froze solid.
The air around Cecile cooled down so much that it condensed, creating a rain of something that was not water.
Then, as the energy rushed toward the spinning fireball, it grew in size at an increasing pace.
The radius went from three to six to ten meters and continued growing until it transformed into a thirty meters wide flaming ball.
The process was much quicker than Yasenia's as Cecile has practiced more and has been able to transform for far more time than Yasenia.
The silver left wing appeared from the white fireball, pushing away the flames on that side. In the next instant, the right wing pushed the other side of the flaming sphere, dissipating it in a spiral motion.
Her now enormous body was revealed as the flames circled and dissipated around Cecile, creating an awe-inspiring sight of the Phoenix breaking out of the fire cocoon.
The majestic silver phoenix with blue eyes and cold white flames dancing around the wings appeared, shocking the people around numb.
Her growth continued for a few seconds more, finishing shortly after.
Once she reached her full size, Cecile's beautiful beak opened as her melodious and lingering cry echoed with an ethereal symphony.
*QYA~!*
The harmonic sound of the legendary Moon Phoenix resonated around them, sounding as beautiful as an instrument's symphony that belongs to nature itself.
If Yasenia's deep roar made their beings tremble, Cecile's harmonic cry made their beings quiver and resonate with it.
The figure of the Moon Phoenix was elegant and ethereal, making her appear untouchable and untainted.
Our Phoenix's wingspan was a monstrous seventy meters, as the body of the gigantic phoenix surpassed Yasenia's height, reaching twenty-five meters.
The Silver Phoenix's presence released a piercing coldness that passively created snow crystals around her.
Moreover, they could all feel that Cecile had changed. Before, she looked indifferent and aloof but was not entirely unapproachable.
In her beast form, it felt like everything was below her notice. Her aloofness and elusive nature created an ethereal and sacred feeling, making her look like a creature from the realms of gods.
Even Angel and the others felt a chill when meeting those cold blue eyes. It was only now that they understood a Moon Phoenix's real nature.
Even then, Yasenia gently walked toward her and hooked her neck around Cecile's in an intimate move. The Phoenix's aloofness seemed to melt as the giant creature used her wings to wrap the dragon cuddling with her.
"Your body feels warm, my love." Cecile's voice echoed, chilling people even more. However, there was an underlying softness clearly directed at the dragoness.
The other people present understood deeply that Cecile didn't have to transform to show her sovereignty over Yasenia. Still, she did it not only to show them who was Yasenia's partner but also to show them the difference between them.
This pushed back the thoughts of trying to court Yasenia from all of them but Elder Song.
Elder Song's bloodline was a peak Mythical Bloodline, a step away from entering the Divine realm. Compared with our Ancient Beast Pair was lacking, but the pressure Cecile created was not enough to completely deter Elder Song.
However, there was another reason Elder Song was not wholly convinced. Elder Song had the [Harmony Intent], which allowed her to discern patterns and melodies.
Because of that, her brain was currently not making sense as it was shocked-stupid by Cecile's phoenix cry.
The sound emitted by Cecile literally resonated with the World on a profound level. When Cecile cried, it felt as if instead of her vocal cords, Cecile used the World's energy to emit the sound.
While Elder Song was flabbergasted, Yasenia's mellow and ethereal voice sounded. "You look beautiful in your beast form, sweetheart."
Cecile's voice was even colder on this form, sounding distant and aloof. "You also look good, my love."
They couldn't help but shudder after one sentence. 'So cold!'
Yasenia turned toward the group of flabbergasted people and spoke. "Sorry for the delay. We can go whenever you like. Please, guide us along the way."
Andrea and the others had already jumped on the giant dragoness's back and were also waiting.
They all woke up from their daze and nodded.
Jorey asked. "Big Sister Kali, can you also transform?" The reason she called her big sister was that both were from the Fox race, and Kali's pills were the ones that helped her cousin.
Kali shook her head and laughed. "I can't yet. Maybe in the future. I had a few wounds in the past, hence my inability to transform."
Jorey smiled. "They'll probably heal soon. If you need anything, don't fear contacting us. Our Mountain Traveler Merchant group can get everything for a fair price!"
Kali chuckled and nodded.
Then, they mounted their flying treasures and sped into the distance. Because the flying treasures were light, there was no acceleration, and they went from zero to one hundred quickly.
Yasenia and Cecile looked at the group speeding away calmly, and they extended their wings.
Then, the two giant wings flapped once vigorously. The air pressure created by the wing's motion was almost visible, as the air felt like a liquid instead of a gas.
The powerful muscles that moved the wings worked perfectly in sync, and the two giant creatures flew into the sky, leaving a hurricane of wings behind.
Each flap of their wings propels them through the air at increasing speed, and they rapidly catch up with the other people.
Angel was sitting on Yasenia's snout with a big smile. "It's so fun! I really like this, Yasenia!"
Yasenia chuckled gently and streaked across the sky, leaving a beautiful starry trail behind.
Cecile flew right by her side, leaving a silver and snowy trail behind her.
The two flying creatures looked gorgeous when they flew together.
While Yasenia and her companions left the city, in a place not too far away, a group of human women furrowed their brows in concern.
"You three, go and scout around. We can't let the entire group be found."
"Sigh, who would've known that we landed on a continent where humans are considered slaves?"
The three women nodded. They all had Unification Realm Strength.
Not only those three, but the total of twenty-five women here also had a similar strength.
"If it weren't because of the special cultivation technique we have to increase our level rapidly, we would've been caught quite a few times."
"Well, our leader is very generous, after all. I just recently joined, but I can't help but feel like it's worth it."
"Naturally! Following our Supreme Celestial Divine Hegemon Empyrean Dragoness of the Cosmic Beginning is what makes us stronger!"
A few of them sighed. "I want to see her."
"I want to lick her feet."
"I want her tail to remold my insides."
The strongest one exclaimed. "You girls, shut up!"
They blinked twice, and the leader continued. "How could our S.L.U.T group be so presumptuous to image a union between our Goddess and us!? We are her devout followers!"
They all nodded in agreement.
The three that were previously pointed at said. "Sisters, we are leaving. If we don't return in a few hours, you know we'll probably not return. Be safe."
After seeing those three leaving, another one of them sighed. "Our group of seventy-five has thinned to twenty-five...."
Another one commented with a wry smile. "At least, only three of us have perished. The rest were captured alive. Maybe, in the future, we can save our sisters..."
The leader frowned and placed her hands together. "Please, Lady Yasenia, give us strength."
The three women from the S.L.U.T group scouted the surroundings for a few moments, silently moving through the surroundings.
Their skill and proficiency made them look like trained assassins.
However, their skill was not a match against absolute power.
"You are truly slippery. Can you not run so much? It is bothersome finding all of you."
Their faces changed significantly and reacted instantly, separating into three different directions. Their thoughts of fighting and resisting didn't exist because of a simple fact. This person was an Epoch Core Body Realm cultivator, similar to a Dantian Spiritualization Realm cultivator.
The man that appeared floating in the sky snorted, and his figure disappeared.
A harsh grunt was heard from one of the three sides as the man caught up with one and punched the stomach harshly.
The body cultivator's brute strength sent her flying like a rag-doll and smashed a few trees. "Hmm... Strange. Their strength is not bad, but their bodies are too soft. Well, probably lowly humans can gain as much bodily strength even after cultivating so far."
He turned her head to the other two directions and disappeared from the spot.
The three had no chance as they were caught in less than a minute.
The man placed the three fainted women in a line and frowned. "Tsk, I punched too hard, and this one died. Well, whatever, I can take the other two with me. They'll probably sell quite well."
Then, the man with tiger-like features disappeared, carrying the three of them away.
