For a moment everything Aster could see were volcanic armored bears since he dove into a group of around six of them, now, under normal circumstances Aster isn’t someone to act recklessly, despite the violent urges his dragon lineage constantly causes to him.

But this isn’t a real fight, but a “date” and besides assessing how much had the girls either improved or helping them improve, the main priority is to make sure that the girls have a good time.

And what the dragon Lilia wanted wasn’t a clean victory but a violent close quarter brawl, so Aster happily complied with that clingy dragon girl’s wishes.

“Crack!”, Aster saw the golden light protection of the armor starting to crack after taking on the punches from the volcanic armored bears and contrary to what those beasts expected, he smirked.

“Booom!”, unfortunately for the bears, they had gathered too close to Aster and so when he manifested the expanded arm of the golden armor, all of them were blown away as a whole, before Aster swinged his arm, slapping the bears with brute force, sending hem flying until they crashed against the lava sea a few hundreds of meters away.

“Mm?”, naturally a giant golden armored arm appearing out of nowhere and a bunch of volcanic armored bears being flown away like ants in a storm, caught the attention of both the bears and Lilia who was punching them, left and right.

Her bright red eyes sparkled, one could see the hearts in her pupils when she saw Aster playing along with her wishes, the result was a cute and happy dragon girl, this marked the start of a tragedy for the volcanic bears though.

“Hehehe~”, with a soft giggle, Lilia rushed towards a couple of bears, hitting one on the chest with her elbow before she skillfully twirled her body backwards, kicking the bear next to previous one on the chin.

The result was a couple of pained roars, while one bear disappeared into the distance and the other one was sent flying upwards, to then fall into the lava.

Aster saw Lilia smiling at him and he bitterly smiled.

“What, now you want to compete in “creativity” with me?”, he asked, just to see that dragon mother of his pounce onto the next bears, using her slender and delicate looking arms, to tackle those monstrously buff spirit beasts like it was nothing.

It was certainly an amusing sight, even in her partially increased size, since she wasn’t manifesting her main pair of wings, Lilia’s height had certainly surpassed the two-meter mark, making her look quite “big”, the bears were more than ten times larger than her and yet those same bears made countless turns into the air after being tackled by Lilia before she kicked them like soccer balls.

Having finished her trick, she turned around to intensely gaze at Aster as if she was waiting for his response, to which Aster chuckled, with a thought the second arm of the armor was manifested before both of them “scooped” a large handful of lava which he then threw towards a bear that was spitting molten rock towards him.

“Roaaar!”, the torrent of lava that the bear was spitting towards Aster, was like the stream of a water gun against the one of a fire hose, the bear was instantly overwhelmed and drown into the magma meteor which swallowed another three bears in its way, before sinking into the lava saw, raising a pillar of molten rock due to the impact.

Lilia nodded, satisfied with the result, she aggressively gazed at the bears which despite their mindless nature, had started to notice that something was wrong with the invaders this time, making them unconsciously tremble in fear before she appeared behind the head of one bear, to then smack its face against the face of another one.

The following thirty or so minutes scarred those bears for life, that’s right, neither Lilia nor Aster were killing them, that being said those bears which previously only could think on fighting, would have probably preferred to just die, instead of becoming aware of how vast the world is.

Knees to the face, guillotine kicks, tackles, being grabbed and then thrown around like toys and the list goes on, that was the nightmare which the bears were put through.

From their point of view, a smaller and weaker pair of invaders, utterly defeated their whole pack in the blink of an eye, what’s more they weren’t even deemed worthy of being killed, which meant that for their enemies they weren’t considered a threat, the trauma was such that they developed a desire for survival!

By the time the fight ended, Aster exhaled and dispelled the armor manifestation, he turned to see Lilia who was a bundle of energy right now, the more the fight progressed the more excited she became.

The problem is that Aster could also tell that she was starting to lose her self-control, as a proof of it while originally, she kept her level restrained to the Genesis Manifestation realm, that was more than enough for her to deal with those early-stage Void Manipulation realm bears with ease.

But as the “courting ritual” progressed, she became more aggressive, luckily the bears realized that if they charged against her again, they would die, so after being trashed around once by Lilia they quickly escaped as far as they could.

“Mom, tone it down or…”, Aster who felt Lilia’s aura fluctuating between the Genesis Manifestation and Void Manipulation realms, tried to help Lilia calm down but he was one step too late.

Anyway, Lilia who saw that there were no other enemies in sight, huffed and then proposed herself to throw herself at Aster, when a yellowish white flash hit her squarely.

“Booom!”, a thunderous explosion echoed through the lava sea as Lilia was forced backwards, while at the same time broken pieces of withered bones, rained down, what clashed against Lilia was an “arrow” made out of some dead spirit beast’s bone.

And the one who threw it at Lilia, became visible along with a mountain-like spirit pressure, it was five-meter-tall monkey whose fur was on fire, a Blazing Mountain Fire Monkey at the peak of the Void Manipulation realm.

One would believe that in front of Lilia there wouldn’t be much difference between that monkey and the bears, but unlike the bears, not only this monkey was actually able to move through space, which by itself was enough to make it not something a cultivator below the Law Integration realm would willingly fight against with.

But the eyes of the monkey shone with wisdom, it wasn’t hard to tell it was a wise spirit beast which had already opened the path to one day reach the Heavenly Realm, not only because of the previous, but because it actually was using “equipment”.

A though crude-looking, powerful bow made of bones and the tendons of spirit beasts, on its left hand, which was used to shoot that arrow that took Lilia by surprise earlier, and it wielded a bone club on its right hand, this was the master of the whole volcanic area, not just this territory but the whole thing.

As to why it didn’t interfere until now and only attacked Lilia and not Aster, that’s because her realm has threatened to breach the rules of the flag capture game, that arrow was a warning, it wasn’t aimed at a vital spot and had no tip.

But it did anger Lilia quite a bit, so her already unstable status worsened and she charged against the monkey which immediately disappeared from its previous spot, appearing above Lilia to swing its bone club towards her.

“Boooom!”, the club clashed against Lilia’s fist, causing a shockwave that forced the lava sea to bent in an inverted dome shape, sparks flew all over the area, surprisingly that club withstood Lilia’s fist without breaking!

Aster who was observing the whole thing, frowned, no matter how skilled in imitating humans that monkey might be, there is no way a crude weapon could completely endure a direct clash against Lilia’s fist, unless we are talking about the bone of a Heavenly Realm spirit beast, but that wasn’t the case.

So, the club that the monkey wielded as crude as it might look, it was a real spirit weapon, created by someone who then handed it to the monkey, one of his godmothers probably, which made sense, this monkey was able to move through space, it was probably being trained to act as a guardian for the sect.

“Grrr!”, Aster came out of his daze when he saw Lilia’s anger exploding, she slashed the monkey down with her claws, managing to cut off one of its arms, despite its thick hide and strong flesh, just for the monkey to shrug it off when an array appeared on its chest and its missing arm was regenerated the next second.

“That is… awfully similar to my Twin Sword Array, but it’s support-focused instead”, mumbled Aster, it meant that within this planet at least, that monkey received the same level of empowering that he could get if he was attacked by someone with a higher realm than his, but in the monkey’s case it didn’t make it stronger but enhanced its recovery, stamina, defense and the like.

The previous of course, made Lilia grit her teeth, she was trying to go to her mate’s side and this meddlesome monkey was getting in her way, she basically saw red, wishing nothing else but rip the obstacle in her way into shreds, in order to do that she decided to let go of restrictions and regain her full power.

At least for a couple of seconds, before a sudden rain of thoughts appeared in her mind “Isn’t my mate over there”, “Why don’t I instead ask for his power” and “If we deal with that nuisance faster, the faster we can get to the fun part”.

You might think that those should be obvious ideas, however for an instinct driven dragon Lilia, they were revolutionary, despite her blazing anger towards the monkey she decided to not force her way through it, but instead rely on Aster to achieve her goal, which was to continue with their mating rituals as soon as possible.

The previous storm of spirit energy that was forming above the volcanic area due to Lilia being about to go crazy, dissolved on the spot, allowing the monkey whose back was drenched in cold sweat to inwardly let out a sigh of relief.

The ones for whom it worked, weren’t reachable as of current, but luckily that living disaster in the form of a human woman, seemed to had calmed down, but the fight wasn’t over yet.

As the king of the volcanic territories, the monkey couldn’t just leave without deciding a winner, but now this wasn’t a battle to death but more of a duel, which was allowed as per the rules that its bosses gave it, that being said, seeing Lilia showing her canines at it made the monkey frown and release its cultivation base, pouring everything it had into the bone club.

Aster who was genuinely surprised by dragon Lilia controlling her instincts out of nowhere, was further in awe at her flashing to his side, to then cutely rub her face against hers, while she pointed at the monkey as if she was saying “He is bullying me”.

Ignoring the monkey whose eyebrow was twitching, Aster saw Lilia pinching his arm while looking at herself, her message was along the lines of “Use that shinny stuff on me”, in other words she wanted him to use the golden armor on her.

Which reminded Aster of the fact that Lilia was really jealous when he told her about how he discovered the newest function of the armor back at the Silicon Valley, one which came from the amplification aspect of his Wolfstein lineage, bringing the others inside the giant version of the armor amplified their powers for a short period of time.

‘To think jealousy would unconsciously help her reign in her instincts… she sure is a part of mom’, amusingly thought Aster, but he decided to give it a try, there is a reason as to why he hadn’t fulfilled that petition from Lilia.

The paragon body doesn’t need spirit energy to manifest the armor, it’s a part of Aster’s body being his constitution after all, but at the same time as an extension of his body, using it requires stamina, add to that the fact that the amplifying function can only be accessed to in the expanded version of the armor and the energy usage increases depending on the realm of the target and you get why Aster didn’t consider using it in a real life situation with Lilia.

But this time there was a big difference, in her current suppressed realm and if he pushed it to the limit, he should be able to make it happen, in any case he couldn’t say no to those pretty red eyes which were cutely pleading at him.

‘Oh well, let this be her “reward” for her achievement, I wasn’t going to win against her anyway’, thought Aster as he patted Lilia’s head and nodded, earning a bright smile and a few cute sounds from her.

Lilia then let go of Aster and floated in front of him, entrusting her back to him, the monkey didn’t move, this was a duel now so it kept adjusting to its best state.

“Phew!”, Aster exhaled and then his body exploded in golden light, which twisted and molded to take the form of a headless armored giant that enveloped the two of them.

But the surprises didn’t stop there, while the monkey’s pupils contracted upon the appearance of the golden giant, Aster’s ones did because he saw Lilia’s secondary wings spread, a vortex made out of red light formed behind of her to then absorb the armor manifestation!

Despite the bizarre sight of the armor being decomposed into countless golden light particles and the sensation of being drained out of his physical energy, Aster felt no danger, not even his dragon aura reacted so he just allowed Lilia to do as she pleased.

The process took no longer than a couple of seconds in which the whole giant armor was absorbed into that red glow vortex, next, golden armor appeared on Lilia’s wings, making Aster’s mouth open in awe.

Imagine the monkey’s surprise when Lilia turned into a red and golden flash, appearing in front of him with her fist aiming at its chest.

“Roaaar!”, the monkey swinged its bone club towards Lilia’s fist, clashing against it the next second, the resulting clash surpassed the limits of let alone the Void Manipulation realm, but even the Law Integration realm, causing the solid space nearby them to tremble and crack here and there, luckily the clash didn’t last long.

“Crack!”, the result was the bone club exploding into countless tiny pieces and the monkey, turning into a comet that disappeared from sight even before it could scream, landing a few dozens of thousands of kilometers away, having had its fur blasted away by the impact and losing consciousness.

“Boooom!”, an explosion rumbled through the skies of the planet as the monkey fell to the ground, luckily the array protected it so it was still alive, the last thought the monkey had before that, was “Why did the array didn’t activate”.

Unlike when Lilia cut off its arm with her claws, the array didn’t help him now, in other words, Lilia perfectly kept her realm within the limits of the Genesis Manifestation and yet, she produced enough strength to cause damage to the space of a peak Stellar grade planet, which should endure anything below the Heavenly Realms.

The result was a triumphantly smiling Lilia and an Aster who was frozen in place, because he saw it, at the last second, that clingy dragon girl’s wings shone and the armor which was covering her wings was transferred to her arm, cladding it with armor instead.

‘All the giant version of the armor only produced enough energy for her to cover a single part of her body, but she was still able to access the amplification function of it…’, thought Aster.

She changed the solid armor into physical energy and then manipulated it at will, it was insane.

Aster then felt a bit dizzy, Lilia took practically all his physical energy, his recovery ratio was what allowed him to remain conscious but he did feel the impact, at least he was going to need a couple of hours of rest.

But then as if she could feel Aster’s perilous situation, Lilia who was basking in the afterglow of her victory a second earlier, pounced on Aster, her cute canines sank into his shoulder as she took a couple of sips of his blood.

“Be good, do you want me to turn into dried mea…t?”, Aster who thought Lilia wanted to leave him dry, was in shock when he saw Lilia’s wings radiate that red glow of earlier, but this time the thing entered his body and the next second he felt fresh as a lettuce.

Aster opened and closed his hands a couple of times, confirming that all his fatigue was gone, in fact he was at the peak condition of this day, just like when he woke up earlier in the morning.

With a quick inspection he realized what had happened, his spirit and soul energies were the same, since he hadn’t really used them during the day they were quite high, but his physical energy was at its peak which shouldn’t be the case, in exchange he noticed a decrease on his vitality, but it was an ephemeral as his overflowing yang refilled it in a matter of seconds.

“Fufu~”, as if enjoying Aster’s surprised reaction, Lilia licked his wound allowing it to heal before she let go of him, her wings returned to that ruby-like tattoo in the middle of her back as well.

Before Aster could ask Lilia, what did she do, a giant pillar of light emerged from the surrounding area, its origin was the flag in the central part of this volcanic territory, exploding on the air, leaving behind a giant message written in golden letters.

[The master of the eastern volcanic areas has been defeated in the Lava Mountain Planet by the team of the Lord of the Twin Sword Valley, the participants of the team will be granted a token to request an audience with an Ancestor, congratulations!]

[To celebrate a first-time achievement, all the members of the Black Sword faction will be rewarded with ten thousand merit points!]

Imagine the turmoil that exploded in all the territories of the sect where the previous message was displayed, so far, the only time when a disciple could earn the right to meet an Ancestor of the sect is at the yearly ranking calculation ceremony, where the Heavenly Ranks are reset and the disciples receive rewards based on their ranking.

It was something that couldn’t be bought with money, what was more incredible is that no one knew that a “master” of territories existed, no one had heard about it before and that included even the Supreme Elders and the Law Enforcers, though the former weren’t in the sect, old Salazar felt a headache incoming when he saw that message gloriously shining in the sky.

‘Those two lasses, couldn’t they have at least told me about this… sigh, whatever’, thought the old man as he continued going through the mountain of papers on his desk.

Back at the volcanic territory, Aster now understood why that monkey was armed to the teeth, turns out it was the master of all the volcanic territories, probably the array it had access to, allowed it to move through planets like the one he has, but on a major scale.

That also explained why the reward was so “good”, besides the publicly displayed audience he was granted, which was honestly not much for him, considering those godmothers of his would probably rush in to Lilia’s side the moment they got to meet, he got a private message for his personal reward.

[Six thousand high grade spirit jades had been awarded to the Lord of the Twin Sword Valley, please go to the mission hall at the Central Capital to receive your reward, other team members won’t receive private rewards due to rule breaking]

Though Lilia probably couldn’t understand what the message said, she felt as if she was being scolded, which made her softly snort while Aster chuckled at her.

To Aster’s surprise, Lilia looked around and then out of nowhere she took her clothes off.

“Hey, the barrier here won’t stop others from coming so…”, Aster who immediately scanned the area with his eyes while he covered Lilia’s naked figure, stopped speaking midway, there wasn’t a single living being in the vicinity.

Only after stretching his senses to the extreme, he found the spirit beasts that were native of this volcanic territory, they were all piled up at the extreme border of the territory, different species, different realms, carnivores, herbivores, mindless or rational, nothing seemed to matter for them as they stood still as if trying to mingle with the rocks and lava.

Lilia turned to see Aster with pride overflowing from her, apparently since she beat up the master of all the volcanic territories, the spirit beasts were so afraid of her, that they forgot any differences and just focused on staying as far away from her as they could.

Aster approached Lilia and gently flicked her nose earning a soft growl from her.

“You bad girl, you did all this so that those beasts would become a natural barrier so you could have your fun?”, he said.

“Grrr~”, Lilia’s answer was along the lines of “I don’t know what are you talking about~”, which made Aster sigh, on the other hand he saw Lilia seductively swaying her hips before she slowly descended towards the lava, not without giving him a charming gaze.

‘She is doing it on purpose’, thought Aster, that being said, he rushed towards Lilia who playfully jumped into the lava as if to get away from Aster, what followed was a barrier made out of a red glow that covered all the central area of the sea of lava.

If anyone could listen and see the insides of the barrier, they would hear a mix of soft growls and cute moans, accompanied by lava suddenly raising from the deep bottom of the lava of sea, all over the area.

A strange phenomenon that continued for a whole six hours, just by the time the sun had started to descend from the sky, the lava parted aside and a beautiful naked woman came out of it.

Her long black hair cascaded all the way down to her thighs, she cutely stretched her body which exuded a healthy radiance, her pretty pink lips slightly opened and a melodious sound escaped from them.

“Wuuuh~”, Lilia’s long eyelashes fluttered a couple of times before she looked downwards with an amused expression on her pretty face.

“Good job entertaining her, darling~”, Aster who surfaced a second later though undoubtedly happy, looked a bit tired. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“That better be the case considering a certain someone replenished my physical energy twice along the way, wanting more every time”, said Aster who was floating face up on the lava.

Lilia covered her mouth with her hand while she cutely giggled, her body descended from the sky, landing ass-first on top of Aster’s lap.

“Oh my, I wonder who would have tired my darling out so much, I have no recollection of the past six hours but my body sure feels amazing~”, said Lilia as she used her bare right foot to play with Aster’s chest.

Aster chuckled, after putting a lot of effort on satisfying the “needs” of that clingy dragon girl, he limited to enjoy the view of Lilia’s naked body sitting on top of him.

‘Even for mom that was quite rough’, thought Aster remembering the fight-like experience of having sex with dragon Lilia, they practically demolished the bottom of the sea of lava which cased all the magma tsunamis and the earthquakes from earlier.

No joking, if his body wasn’t as insanely tough as it is, he might have ended up with broken bones and bruises, in fact his back still had scratches all over it, but it was also true to that he enjoyed this wild love making session, quite a bit, despite being Lilia his partner, it felt completely new, which brought Aster the question that he was about to make to Lilia.

“Hey mom…”.

“Mm, what happened, don’t tell me you didn’t like it, you two were like a passion hurricane, devastating everything in sight”, she said, making obvious the fact that she did know what happened even when she wasn’t the one in charge.

Aster shook his head in response to then say.

“I was just wondering, are you two the same, or will “she”, disappear later on?”.

Lilia’s eyes sparkled for a second, she moved her body so that she was now laying on top of Aster’s whole body, her generous chest resting against his, while her face was in front of Aster’s.

“I wouldn’t know how to answer the first part with utmost sincerity, she is me and I am her, we share our feelings and thoughts, but the way we “process” them is different, one is instinct driven and the other is rational but we both are the same Lilia… mm as for the second one, that decision isn’t mine to make, what is it that you desire?”, she said while directly gazing at Aster’s eyes.

Aster inwardly let out a sigh of relief, he was worried about Lilia developing a personality disorder due to her dragon lineage, but it seems that wasn’t the case, based on what she said, it was more as if her instincts had gained “wisdom”, the easiest way to describe it, would be your body being able to directly communicate with your mind, both are you but their points of view are different.

“Well, if that’s the case, then both Lilias are mine”, he confidently said before gently pecking Lilia’s lips, he said.

Lilia laughed before she rested her head on Aster’s chest, while she talked to herself.

‘See, it was worth to go through all that hassle to separate our wings, more of us is always better for our darling~’, she thought.

‘Grrr~’, the answer was a soft growl with a satisfied and happy tone behind of it.

Lilia whose face was hidden on Aster’s chest, softly laughed, she then raised her head and gazed at Aster before saying.

“There is still some time left so don’t forget to give “her” a nice gift, darling~”, with those words and before Aster could say anything, Lilia’s gaze changed and the clingy dragon Lilia was back.

“Uhhh~”, Lilia immediately rubbed her face against Asters before cutely licking his cheeks, she was obviously in a really bright mood and for a good reason, all her desires were satisfied by her mate earlier, so she was acting like a little girl in love now.

“Yeah, I also liked it, now calm down a bit”, said Aster as he gently patted her head a couple of times, making Lilia relax while she laid down on top of Aster, surprisingly she didn’t try to initiate anything and just enjoyed cuddling with him.

Aster had lost the count of how many times she has surprised him today, from the ability of her middle wings which practically perfectly complemented his virtually endless vitality, result of his own dragon lineage, to the change in her decision making.

Dragon Lilia didn’t lose her instinct driven self, instead she became able to better control said instincts, resulting in a still wild but wiser version of her, she was also more cunning than before, based on the needy gaze she was giving Aster right now, knowing that he still had to give her gift to commemorate their first date.

Aster chuckled, unfortunately his spirit blacksmithing abilities weren’t good enough to make the weapon he believed Lilia deserved and as his first lover she already had an engagement ring with everything he had to offer, including his refined blood, elixirs and pills for emergency and even little surprise for enemies.

He bought her a lot of underwear earlier and those rubies as well, but that wasn’t enough, it was then when an idea came to Aster’s mind.

“Don’t look at me like that, let’s go get you some delicious “candies” for you to eat until our next meeting”, said Aster.

“Mm~”, Lilia nodded in response, she also knew that her time on the outside was coming to an end, so she wanted to do one last thing before their date ended.

In a flash they both dressed themselves and then using Aster’s authority they disappeared from the planet, only then the red glow barrier disappeared and the spirit beasts which were stationed at the border of the volcanic territory allowed themselves to breath out loud.

But they didn’t dare to move for the next half a day, which ended up in a big scare for those who approached the volcanic territory, either out of curiosity, admiration or jealousy, as they were met by a plethora of high ranked spirit beasts, glaring at them.
