Shadow of the Abyss

"I won! " Altair shouted at the top of his lungs, challenged by the shrieking moans of the woman on all fours.

"ahh~Don't~stop~" she pleaded, as saliva slid down her lips. Her fingers stabbed into the dirt as her Prince rode her as hard as she did her pegasus all those many moons ago. Toes began to curl following each thrust that sent sweat dancing through the air.

Altair fingers danced over her little cunt, sending her eyes rolling to the back of her head. Ren's entire body began to spasm as a hoarse squeal sounded from her sweet lip.

She came collapsing head-first into the grass, but Altair did not let up.

Hounding her garden, making sure every seed was sowed, he pulled out, jerking her around by the collar. Ren opened her mouth, swallowing him whole as he exploded. Her hazy red eyes permeated ecstasy, gleaming euphoria. She sucked dry, slurping him clean of all fluids. Reina just watched as his eyes looked into hers.

Only when she had finally begun to gag, did Altair pull his beast from the back of her throat.

"I won, Ren," said Altair, his cock still reeling from her touch.

Ren pushed down, having really regained some strength, and inserted his penis so deep into her womb she came collapsing into his chest.

"Are we sleeping like this again?" Altair asked, finding it was really the only way he could sleep. "Good," he said, cumming inside as her inside did all the work for them. "fuck, this is heaven."

Reina merely drooled over his chest, falling asleep within his arms.

Altair smiled, glancing at his stats, and fell asleep.

Reina woke the following day feeling her insides having long since made Altair beast its home. It had all been so perfect, as every time he entered her, he'd always manage to hit that perfect spot that made her mind cream with pleasure.

He was hitting it now despite no movement, and she was loving every second of it. It was only a shame. Today would be their last two-week vacation.

Reina sighed slightly, changing her position to lay on her back. When she felt Altair cup her breast, he gave them a gentle squeeze, feeling the walls of her vagina react almost instantly. They both moaned, enjoying the morning moonlight hitting their naked bodies.

He nibbled on her ear and whispered. Something that made her cheeks flush with redness.

Ren bit her lips. "I'm all yours," she said, gasping for air.

"Then be a good girl and clean me up."

"Did your dick get bigger or something?" Ren shamelessly asked him, finding the hardest part of her day was trying to pull his dick out. It was as if her insides had latched on to something yummy and refused to let go.

Altair would always have to help, finding it enjoyable to watch his cloudy snow stream from down between her legs.

After cleaning up her man, Ren rested weakly on him. "I'm going to get pregnant if this keeps up."

"maybe your throat. I've never seen someone so—"

Ren covered his mouth, her golden eyes blushing dangerously

Altair removed her hands and laughed at her cute expression. "we got to get dressed, but I'm so damn tired. The only thing I had to eat these past two weeks was Ren. Not that I'm complaining."

Ren meekly squirmed on his chest, twirling her fingers up and down his nipple.

"Although I can make an exception for Golden Eye Ren. I haven't eaten her yet." he laughed when she went stiffer than a board. "Hells, you're cute. Come on, let's get dressed. The others should be here in a few hours. But man, two weeks of just sex is truly heaven.

I could die a happy man! "

Ren proudly grinned, happy she could satisfy him, and kissed his cheek before standing to her feet that buckled.

And in a few more hours, after they'd gotten something other than each other's blood and fluids to eat, Thanatos and the other reemerged with one missing member.

"Where's Master?"

"She said something about needing to check in with the queen," Zagreus answered, looking around their camp and then at their muddy feet and arms. He grinned. "have you two been dual cultivating this entire time? There's barely any firewood, much less any signs of footprints. "

Reina turned red at once. Altair, however, was all smiles. "My mana is at 150 now. Should do well in what's to come."

Nia narrowed her gaunt face, weary from the journey. Her body was battered by mud, her hair matted, and her eyes sunken beneath dark bags. She hadn't even the strength to exclaim.

Olivia was in no better shape, collapsing into Alyssa's arms. She had been the only one of the trio still able to fight. Though, how much she was capable of was up for debate.

"Is that the peak?" asked Thanatos.

"honestly? I've no idea. The numbers keep rising. But our mana is stronger than Hilda's, and she's a Sixth Circle Warrior. Which seems ridiculous as a second circle. "

"May I?" said Thanatos. And Altair handed him his wrist. He closed his eyes, and a smooth energy pulsed through Altair's meridians.

Thanatos' expression became one of complexity. "your hearthstone appears to be fine… but… if I'm getting this right, you have two physiques and, not to mention something called the [Heart of Darkness]."

"Did mother tell you that," Altair asked disapprovingly.

That was his secret and not for Tenebrae to spread.

"she did, but I'll say keep going. In Zariel's younger days, he… "Thanatos stopped, nearly spilling secrets that ought to remain secrets. "Just know Mana Purity is one of the most important things. Keep going until you can't go anymore. You'll know when to stop. How's your control?"

"near 97%," said Altair.

Thanatos opened his palm, and in an iridescent flash of black flames, the mana whirled into a complex array.

The mere sight of it had Altair and Reina's noses wet with a trickle of blood. Their breath caught, and for a moment, they saw… the glow of creation glimmer before their eyes.

"Have you memorized it?" Thanatos asked, dismissing the Rune just as they nodded. "What you saw was the Rune called the Helix of Mortality. It's a rune only those at The Ninth Circle can gleam. Try recreating that rune as we make our way to the center of Yarwin. It ought to help you hone your control and your mind. And Altair, might I have a word with you privately?

Curious, Altair followed Thaan to a reclusive reserve within the drove.

"What are you waiting for? He asked. "why haven't you turned Nia or Olivia? Alyssa, I understand. You owe Athena a favor. But… the other two are dead weight.

They can't keep up, not with your growth or the situation. If this keeps up, everyone suffers. You're smart enough to see that. Or is the idea of betrayal what's getting to you?"

Altair stood there, his expression hidden beneath his long raven-colored hair as he felt his stomach wrench, trying to pull acid up to his throat.

He held it back, seething where he stood.

"I don't like it," he said finally.

"Forgive me for saying this, but this is the job; this is life. There will be hundreds that will fall behind. If you can't see that, then you're still a child. Zag and I covered them these past two weeks, and it was hard. It's too hard for what is to come. Whether it's mana recovery, physical or mental, they simply can't keep up.

Even the most subpar races, like elves, can do a little better."

"So this is the end, huh?" Altair murmured gloomily. He didn't like it. But he could also not refute him.

The air felt like shards of ice as he stood there coldly.

"The path of the king is filled with treachery," said Thanatos calmly. "So they either die by your hands or to some unnamed demon. That is the situation you allowed."

The winds came wrenching across his face, exposing the coldness in his eyes as he turned.

Altair said nothing as he returned to his camp. Finding Alyssa and Olivia asleep while Nia stood bobbing back and forth, he approached of her.

"Altair, I —" Nia was trying to say, rising to her feet to see his arm plunge through her chest, tearing through bone and muscle like wet paper. He gripped her beating heart.

"Goodbye," he said, searing the look of hurt and confusion fading into nothingness as she slumped over on his chest. Dead.

[Leonie Cross Felled. Exp Gained.]

Altair absorbed her soul, watching as her body faded to ash. He summoned Talia.

"Decide. Kill her or have me turn Olivia. You've broken her enough."

In a heartbeat, Talia had Olivia beneath her boot, stomping her head into a smooth paste.

"no mercy, my lord," she said, returning to her shadow.

[Olivia Aros Felled. Exp Gained.]

"Art…" Reina whispered, noticing his pale face.

"I have never been more disgusted in myself," he said, as bile crept up the back of his throat. "never… Never."

He puked over the grass, clutching his mouth, trying to hold back the bile searing the back of his throat. "Never."
