Abyss of Dual Cultivation: Goddess's Lust system

“L-Leader. The sky is falling. W-What should we do?”

Reptilian grey eyes watched the fast-descending meteorite fall toward the earth. The small shapes around the leader hopped around in panic.

“Don’t worry. That thing is not the sky, but a human. You all head back for now and I will check those people.”

“B-But leader…”

The small subordinate had no way of opposing her leader.

Even if she did happen to say something sensible, chances were that the leader would just refuse to listen to her words.

In the end, the smaller figure could only order her people to leave.

“Be a careful leader. Those humans might not be our friends. I don’t want to see you dead.”

The leader just rolled her eyes at the obvious worry her subordinate was showing.

It was sweet of the smaller rabbit to care about her like that. But there was no need to be so cautious of the humans.

“Don’t worry. I can take care of myself. After all, I am stronger than I look.”

The female licked her claws in a show of her strength. Her nails looked vicious, stopping at a few inches short of skinning anyone.

The female kept guard till her tribe disappeared.

And once she was done, she finally turned around to start moving toward the falling bodies.

She could feel the magic surrounding the metros calling her like a siren. It was a powerful bewitchment that called out to her.

The leader had not initially wanted to care about the magic at all. She had convinced herself to walk away from the scene.

If not for the familiar scent emitting from their direction, she would have decided not to involve herself in this mess.

“My lord. Why are you with those wrenched humans? They were the ones who killed you?”

The female Viera could not figure out why the reincarnated dragon-lord had chosen the humans as its caretakers. But she decided not to question it.

Higher beings of the abyss had their reasons for doing things. And trying to understand it was only something a fool would do.

The Viera leader hopped around on her four paws. Her unique body shape and sharp moment made it very easy to navigate the rocky space of the surrounding hills.

And she was near the crash site mere moments after the crash.

“My Lord, are you alright?”

The Viera leader asked in a small voice. She did not want to cause unnecessary distress to her lord’s new body.

-Grrrr

The small black form of a baby dragon growled in warning toward her.

The Viera leader took an unconscious step back at the warning. The small form of the dragon looked far from satisfied though.

The more she stepped back, the further the dragon walked in her direction.

“My lord, there is no need to be hostile to me. I am here to help you out.”

The Viera beast called out in hopes of being understood.

But the dragon was not in a forgiving mood. It was closing in on the female warrior with a ferocity she had seldom seen in any abyssal beast.

“H-Huh?”

The growling almost stopped at the weak voice.

The dragon baby ignored the Viera leader completely and coiled around the semi-unconscious human.

“W-Who’s there?”

The voice was really weak when it asked the question. It did not belong to someone who could survive such heavy injuries.

The Viera leader had no intention of stepping out to help the unconscious human pair initially. But her lord was attached to these humans.

And helping their lord was one of the primary functions bestowed upon their clan by the abyss.

“Do not be alarmed. I am the loyal soldier of My Lord and my name is Ely. The dragon you have with you is the reincarnated form of my lord and I have to help them out.”

“And since you are my Lord’s precious people, I shall help you out as well.” ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

The dragon decided he did not like those words.

There was no way the tiny dragon could harm Ely in his current state. The small dragon lacked its blazing point activation and he did not seem to have developed his magical core as well.

All in all, he was in a vulnerable state and must be protected.

“No, don’t attack her. Come here.”

Ely tried not to gasp as she watched the human interaction with the dragon. The human female in front of her looked unafraid of the dragon.

Both she and the unconscious human lying at her side had no energy to speak of. Even still, she held enough courage to get the dragon to interact with her.

And the most amazing thing of all was – the dragon was complying with her request.

“Lady Ely was it? I want to take your offer but I don’t think I can move right now. Do you think you can get someone to take us to a safe space?”

Would surprises never cease to exist? ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

Ely had thought that she would have to pull some kind of trick to get her lord and his humans to come with her.

“I understand. But I don’t think my lord likes that idea very much.”

Ely looked at the small dragon who eyes her with distrust. He seemed to be fighting with his instincts to like her.

“It’s alright. Wait, have I named you yet? Ely, you called him your lord, right? So, do you know his name?”

Ely tried not to judge the human for her lack of knowledge but it was hard.

After all, what kind of human decided to keep a creature as mighty as a dragon with them and not even research their kind?

It was not like there were a lot of dragon lords that lived.

But Ely did not show her thoughts on her face.

“My lord was named Ur. I hope the name will be bestowed upon our lord once again.”

Ely hoped the human was not foolish enough to name the dragon anything else. After all, the name ‘Ur’ held importance for her people.

“Ur? I guess it is fine if the dragon likes it? What do you say?”

Her lord looked offended at the name but he did not reject it at once. Ely could only take it as a good sign.

“Hey, do you think you can take Ur back to your place while I help my other companion out? I need you to promise that you’ll come back for us and keep Ur safe.”

Once again, a thing out of the norm had happened.

A human was asking someone from the abyss for a favor.

Was the human not afraid that Ely would kill her once she had the chance? Where did that confidence come from?

But whatever had prompted that confidence, Ely was thankful for that. She could take this opportunity to wrestle her lord’s favor and divert him from the human’s side.

“Ur, be good and go with her for now. And If Ely doesn’t come back with the troops, you have my permission to cause as much hard as you want to.”

Ely wanted to scoff at the threat.

There was no way her lord would cause the Viera harm. It was because of him that the Viera race was even alive right now.

“I voe to take care of my lord and send some people back for you as soon as I can.”

Ely vowed before pressing her lips against the conscious human. To show her sincerity, she even used her magic to exchange the voe.

As per abyss rules, the exchange of energy solidified the contract.

Since it was such a short-term contract, all it required was a small press of surface area and an exchange of energy.

The deed was done just in time for Ely to avoid a pair of dangerous claws aiming for her throat

“Yeah. Send for help but tell them to take a little more time than necessary. And also have some medicinal supplied readily.”

Ely’s reptilian eyes met another reptilian pair. But unlike Ely, the other one had no sense of recognition or even human intelligence.

One had to wonder if the owner of those eyes was even a human, to begin with. Those familiar eyes looked at Ely in a haunting manner.

“Now hurry up before Astoria decided to skin you alive.”

It was only after Ely left the clearing did she realized what had been missing in the exchange she just had.

The unconscious female had never been a human at all. Her lord’s presence had distracted Ely from the real truth of the matter.

And at first, she had thought that the scent she had been smelling was the dragon in her arms.

But it had been that other female that had given out that dragons-scent of the blaze.

That woman had the blood of their lord flowing inside her veins as well. She was their lord as well in the sense of the abyss.

So what did that mean for the Viera race now?
