While Lucien's wives head south through the fox-clan forest, he follows them through the sky a few miles away, giving them space but also keeping an eye on the surroundings.
Lucien respects the power of his wives, especially Amelia and Envy, but after the recent discoveries, he knows that everything is possible even in this world. Dangers can be hidden very close to them, and being careful is necessary.
While keeping his senses focused, he actually flies relaxed with his back toward the ground, and L.u.s.t is mounted on his belly. They are kissing and touching each other, of course.
'This is all so crazy… first, a dark angel's feather, then that group of angels… next, that mysterious person came in your dreams and now this mystery of Anne's heritage.' L.u.s.t commends in Lucien's mind while their lips are connected.
'We cannot say that things are boring.' Lucien comments in a relaxed tone, but L.u.s.t knows that he can't stop for a second from worrying about his mother and his sisters that are way from him.
She avoids talking about it or the blood rose because she knows they can't do anything about it right now, and Lucien still feels bad that he can't have everyone he loves with him now.
'It's normal for things to be exciting where my sisters and I are, but this is really crazy. We are still in an inferior world, but we are already involved in so many things.' She speaks.
'That is good, right?' Lucien asks and quickly explains. 'I mean, if we find challenges that we can overcome, we will become stronger in order to be able to overcome the most difficult challenges more quickly.'
'It's a good way of thinking. I just fear that we will find some problems too difficult to solve with our current power level. I can't imagine you running away from an enemy again.' L.u.s.t responds.
Lucien stops kissing L.u.s.t and smiles at her. "I'm not that proud. I think about the well-being of my loved ones first, and things like pride came later."
L.u.s.t also smiles as she shakes her head. "You already act like an arrogant and proud dragon. And we, your wives, like to see you as the best man ever, flying higher than anyone. We just should be more careful from now on."
"I'm careful, aren't I?" He asks.
"Yes. But not, too. You will do anything for any of your wives even if it is dangerous, and right now, you are thinking of jumping into that lake to see if that Ghost Lady is a beauty from another world and make her your wife." She explains.
Lucien chuckles. "You were the first to encourage me to have many wives."
She kisses his lips. "I know, but I didn't think you would find so many amazing women so quickly. Also, your energy is so incredible that it makes ordinary women become highly talented ones."
"You're just jealous, aren't you?" He smiles teasingly.
L.u.s.t pouts. "Maybe a little bit."
He laughs at her cute reaction. "Don't worry. I'll be even more careful. And about the Ghost Lady, it is probably a water monster or a fake legend. Also, I won't just jump into the lake before you analyze it."
She makes a relieved expression. "Okay… I'm not trying to tell you how to do things or give you orders. I just care about our future."
Lucien gently strokes her hair before kissing her. "I know. You are perfect as a wife… But I think you should be more 'sinful' as a sin."
She giggles. "I should, but you are already very sinful without my influence."
"Hehehe…" Lucien laughs as they continued to fly above the fox-clan forest.
He and L.u.s.t have a nice kissing and c.a.r.e.s.sing session while his wives talk as they travel through the forest. They do not fly so that they can look for rare flowers on the ground.
Lucien keeps his focus on the surroundings and does not try to listen to the girls' conversation, but he can feel that they are enjoying themselves through their connection.
The girls are only really happy around Lucien, but they are very excited to be doing this ceremony for him, and of course, they just talk about him and the life with him, like planets that revolve around a sun.
Although they are not flying, the speed of Lucien's wives is still high when they run, and in about an hour, he notices some changes in the vegetation of the forest below them.
The beautiful and vivid forest of the fox-clan is replaced by a silent forest with trees with few dark brown leaves. The vegetation appears to be slightly ill, but at the same time, the trees do not appear to be dying.
'I can feel something ahead. I think the Ghost Lady is real and a powerful being.' Envy mentally warns Lucien while she feels something in the forest. She feels that before L.u.s.t because she and Amelia are a few miles ahead of them.
Lucien warns L.u.s.t and flies forward quickly. Soon L.u.s.t also feels the same presence and warns him. "Interesting… this creature appears to be in Earth Realm early layers."
"Uhmm…" Lucien is really curious about the Ghost Lady.
He knows he must be careful, but because he managed to take place against the leader angel of that group even when he took a pill of power and had his strength improved at the beginning of Sky Realm, Lucien has no problem meeting the Ghost Lady despite L.u.s.t saying that she's in the Earth Realm.
Lucien tells his wives about Ghost Lady and that he is going to check the lake. They quickly ask if he wants help.
'Laure said that we have to make the offering with our own efforts.' Lucien says to his wives.
'Okay, but if something goes wrong, let us know. We will check a flower field a mile to the east.' Cassidy answers for the girls.
'Right.' Lucien flies towards the lake. It is approximately five hundred meters square in length, and Lucien can see that the water is cloudy even at night due to his incredible vision.
Also, the lake is surrounded by distorted trees and a strange fog that is not present in other parts of the forest. It looks like a very strange scene, and certainly scary for some people.
But Lucien is not afraid of the lake's strange atmosphere. He lands on Its bank and looks at the cloudy water while talking to L.u.s.t. "Do you know how deep it is?"
L.u.s.t shakes her head. "I don't know, but the energy comes from three hundred meters below the surface."
"Oh, it's profound," Lucien comments as he crouches down and touches the water. "Also, it is really cold."
It also touches water. "Hmm… I feel a lot of water energy here, but that energy doesn't look like Angela's water mana… This seems to be modified and is influencing everything around the lake."
"Can you tell if the creature is a beast or a person?" Lucien asks.
She shakes her head. "This energy is extraordinary; I need to get closer to the creature to understand more about it."
"Okay, I'm going to dive," Lucien speaks as he starts to take off his clothes.
L.u.s.t is very curious about the Ghost Lady, but when she sees Lucien undressing, she is mesmerized by his body while carefully watching every part of him.
"Damn! I love you so f.u.c.k.i.n.g much!" She comments as she licks her lips.
"Do you want to ask the Ghost Lady for permission we f.u.c.k in her house?" Lucien asks jokingly.
"Sure I do!" L.u.s.t laughs, but she can't stop looking at Lucien's u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r, eager to see his d.i.c.k even though they had s.e.x an hour ago.
Lucien was going to even take off his u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r to dive more comfortably, but now he changes his mind. "I will keep the u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r so that you focus on our goal."
"Meanie!" L.u.s.t pouts.
He chuckles and jumps into the lake while L.u.s.t returns to his soul.
Despite the water being very cold, Lucien does not feel any discomfort because the energies inside his body always keep him in good condition.
He dives towards the bottom of the lake, and even though his vision is good, he sees nothing more than a meter from his face, so he moves relying mainly on his other senses and L.u.s.t's spiritual sense.
Using his incredible strength and agility, also his wings, Lucien manages to dive down two hundred meters into the lake incredibly fast while still maintaining more than half of his air reserve.
Due to his demonic energy, life mana, a little of water and wind mana from his girls, he can stay underwater without breathing for about five minutes.
'It's coming towards us!' L.u.s.t warns Lucien after they reach less than a hundred meters from the Ghost Lady.
Lucien stops moving and prepares to summon his red katana at any indication of hostility. But he still maintains a neutral posture because he has no idea what that creature is.
L.u.s.t focuses all her senses on analyzing the creature, but the Ghost Lady's energy is very chaotic. 'Her energy is not allowing me to understand what she is. But I can feel that she is feeling many turbulent emotions… hate, anger, depression, regret, despair…'
'So, is she hostile?' Lucien asks.
'I still do not know.' L.u.s.t responds. So she keeps trying to find out anything about Ghost Lady. 'Wait… wait… wait…'
'Wait… wait…' L.u.s.t continues to advise Lucien not to summon his katana. But when the creature gets less than thirty meters from him, she understands what the Ghost Lady is.
'It's a sword!' L.u.s.t exclaims in Lucien's mind.
At the same time, Lucien feels the water around him moving. He summons his red katana, and right in front of him appears a silver blade moving towards him at high speed while piercing the water so easily as if it were air.
Lucien raises his katana with all his strength, also using his demonic energy, and although he is unable to use all his speed due to the density of the water, he still manages to deflect the silver blade, avoiding the blow.
'How Is it a f.u.c.k.i.n.g sword alone?' Lucien asks L.u.s.t.
'She is hostile!' She responds.
Lucien deflects another strike of the silver blade. He can only see it coming out of nowhere and attacking him. It is challenging to fight like that, but he can predict the blade's movements with the help of L.u.s.t and his other senses.
'I realized that it is hostile, but why are you calling it her?' Lucien asks as he continues to deflect the strikes of the silver blade.
'Cursed objects can develop personalities. And isn't her name Ghost Lady? That is feminine.' She responds.
The Ghost Lady starts moving around Lucien, trying to attack him from different angles, and he is surprised at how smart the sword is.
'I do not believe that I am fighting a sword alone. And I'm on the defensive side!' Lucien comments to L.u.s.t.
'I can't believe we found a cursed sword! You are really lucky.' She responds.
'How am I going to use a rebel sword with personality?' He asks.
'You have to tame it. Come on, have you tamed Envy, and are you telling me you can't do the same with a sword?' L.u.s.t speaks in a joking tone.
'I can't f.u.c.k the sword, can I?' He also responds in a joking tone.
L.u.s.t thinks for a few seconds. 'But you can put your energy in her! Maybe it will work.'
'It can work, but… she doesn't look like she's going to let me touch her that easily.' Lucien makes a thoughtful expression as he continues to deflect the Ghost Lady's strikes.
