WIEDERGEBURT Act VI: Chapter 1
🕑 Added 2021-01-18 14:53:14 +0000 UTC“Come on, Raul! Keep your eyes on your opponent! Don’t space out!”
“Ack!”
I grinned widely as Raul became distracted and bopped him over the head. My hit wasn’t hard enough to hurt him, but it certainly startled him back into focusing on me. It looked like he’d been staring at the members of my sect while they were training.
“Whenever you are fighting, you must always maintain a wary eye on your opponent. If this was a real fight, you would have been dead,” I warned him.
“I understand, Father.”
Raul looked at me, his expression gravely serious as she shifted his feet against the ground, adopting a barehanded combat stance, no doubt one taught to him by his mother. It was a narrower stance, one that would allow him to shuffle across the ground and dodge attacks more easily.
At eight years old, Raul had become a lot bigger than when he was a toddler, standing at a height that was around the center of my stomach. His fiery hair was long. It traveled down past his shoulders, though right now it was tied in the back by a leather band much like my own. Green eyes that were a combination of mine and Fay’s stared back at me with a determined expression.
I smiled as I adopted a loose stance. My Dragon Tail Ruler rested lightly on my shoulder, my knees were partially bent, and to the average eye, it would probably look like my stance was lazy. Raul knew better. We’d been sparring like this for going on two years now.
Raul took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and I felt a wellspring of Spiritual Power surge through him. A bright red aura reminiscent of a powerful conflagration erupted from his body, though he quickly brought it to heel. I did nothing as Raul took his Spiritual Aura back into himself. I felt pride as he entered the Second State of Spiritualism with ease.
My son was abnormally powerful. At the age of three, he had reached the First State of Spiritualism without any training. We--that is, myself and his mothers--had decided to train him when he grew a little older so he could learn to control this power. We’d begun teaching him how to channel his Spiritual Power when he was just four years old. By the age of six, he had already reached the Second State of Spiritualism.
“Are you ready?” I asked.
“I am, Father,” Raul said.
“All right then. Your goal is to defend against my attacks for five minutes. Here I come!”
I didn’t use the Flash Step to close the distance between me and my son. It was hardly needed. Within less than a split second, I was already standing in front of Raul, my Dragon Tail Ruler raised high above my head.
Raul’s eyes widened at my speed, but he reacted with admirable swiftness, disappearing within a crackle of energy just before my blade could strike him. I stopped my weapon before it could hit the ground. Even though I had been careful not to damage the courtyard, small cracks still appeared on the stone, the force of my swing generating an incredible impact on its own.
I turned around to find Raul standing a little to my left. Grinning, I swung the Dragon Tail Ruler in his direction and manipulated the lightning element to unlock the latches inside each segment. My weapon split into multiple segments as I swung it around. It looked like the tail of a dragon as the tip raced toward Raul.
My son was wearing an outfit similar to me and his mother. His blue jacket whipped behind him as he darted left and thrust out his gauntlet covered hand, striking the first segment of my weapon on the flat side, knocking it off course. This didn’t end the danger, of course. I simply manipulated the lightning element to make my weapon turn back around and attack again.
Raul recognized what was happening, but it wasn’t like he could do anything except dodge. I was not giving him a chance. A game of cat and mouse had begun, with Raul making liberal use of the Flash Step to escape from my attacks. This particular Dragon Tail Ruler was a blunt weapon, so it wouldn’t kill him unless I attacked with force, but he knew from experience that it would hurt if struck.
Watching as he disappeared and reappeared, I quickly figured out his pattern and flicked a finger at the spot where he would appear next. Just as I predicted, Raul appeared six meters to my right, and my lightning slammed into him barely a second after he did. He screamed in shock as chains of lightning wrapped around him like writhing serpents. Pride swelled in my chest when he didn’t panic. Instead, his Spiritual Power exploded and shattered the lightning binding him.
I retracted the segments of my Dragon Tail Ruler and sped toward Raul. My son only noticed my approach when I was nearly right in front of him. His eyes went wide as I swung my weapon. He had no time to dodge this time, not even by using the Flash Step, and so he crossed his arms and let my blade strike his gauntlet-clad forearms.
A shockwave erupted from the impact, traveling across the courtyard and even affecting the other Spiritualists while they trained, though Fay began telling them all to focus. Raul screamed and stumbled backward. I thought he’d fall on his hind quarters, but he stayed standing and, glaring at me, shifted back into his combat stance.
My smile widened and attacked again.
When you were training someone, it was important to fight at a level that was just above theirs. If you were too strong, they would be defeated before they could learn anything, and if you were too weak, they wouldn’t learn anything from fighting you. By fighting at a level that was just a little higher than Raul’s, I was allowing him to gain experience.
Of course, it was my honest hope that he would never have to fight, but if a time ever came when he needed to defend himself, I wanted him to have the strength to do so.
Five minutes probably felt like a long time to Raul, who was constantly forced to find new ways to defend himself as I attacked with a combination of Spiritualism and my Dragon Tail Ruler. The great thing about my weapon was how many angles I could attack from. Most weapons could only attack linearly, but this one allowed me to attack from behind, above, and at every other conceivable angle imaginable.
The five minutes finally ended, but I continued to attack him to see how long he would last. To my surprise, he lasted another five minutes before his body gave out. I walked over to my son and smiled as he lay on the ground, on his back, gasping for air. His entire body was caked in sweat. His chest rose and fell in great pants.
“You did good,” I complimented him.
“That… wasn’t… five… minutes…” he rasped.
“Oh, so you noticed.” Chuckling, I allowed him a moment to catch his breath before extending my hand to him. He grabbed my hand, and I hauled him to his feet. “You are getting stronger every day.”
“Do you think… I will be strong enough to go on quests soon, Father?” asked Raul.
“Hmm…”
If I was being perfectly honest, Raul was already strong enough to take on quests. He was stronger than many of the newly recruited Spiritualists. I knew this because we had him spar with several people besides me, and the only ones he couldn’t beat outside of myself were my wives and a few of the stronger Spiritualists like Geirolf, Catalyna, Earland, Mykkel, and Ingrid. He was more than strong enough to take on quests…
But he was still so young.
“If it was just a matter of strength, you would be more than qualified to take on quests,” I said as I ruffled his hair.
Raul’s eyes lit up. “Then you’ll let me take on a quest?”
I shook my head. “I’d like to wait until you’re a bit older. Most people don’t even join a sect until they are at least sixteen. You are strong, and you are very smart, but you’re still quite young. When you’ve become a bit older, a bit more experienced with life, then I will let you take on quests.”
Raul looked like he wanted to argue with me. I could see the fire in his eyes, but then the fire slowly left him as, with a sigh, he nodded his head once.
“I understand, Father.”
His response made me want to sigh in relief, though I did no such thing in front of my son.
When Raul was a toddler, he’d become quite impetuous and was prone to random tantrums--usually when I refused to give him something he wanted like candy when it was late at night. There were times where I had to punish him. However, by and large, my son had always been fairly well behaved, and his behavior had only improved as he grew older.
I was hoping that meant he understood why I had taken this stance.
I was about to say something to Raul, when I noticed him looking at the other Spiritualists as they trained. Turning, I noticed that they were no longer going through drills but sparring against my wife.
Fay’s red hair scintillated in the light as she faced off against two men and two women, who were surrounding her. She spun on the balls of her feet, hair whipping around her, and knocked an opponent’s sword away with a swift strike to the flat of the sword. The young woman wielding it gritted her teeth as she stumbled. Fay then grabbed her hand, and shifted around her, using the woman as a shield that forced one of the men to back off, though all this meant was both he and the woman went down when Fay kicked her hostage into him.
“Just surrounding your enemy isn’t enough,” Fay informed them. “If you want to defeat a superior opponent, then you need to have better tactics. Do not forget that right now, you are not fighting a Demon Beast. I’m not going to just mindlessly attack you people without creating my own plan to deal with you.”
““““Yes, ma’am/Big Sister!””””
The four men and women chorused together, and I shook my head as the women called her “Big Sister.” Even I didn’t know how my wife had earned that particular title.
“Mom is really strong,” Raul said as the battle renewed. Even though the Spiritualists training under her were using better tactics, they were still unable to lay a single hand on my wife, who was like a firestorm as she relentlessly pounded them into the ground.
“She is at that.” I placed a hand on his head. “And you can become that strong too in time. For now, why don’t you take a shower and get ready? You have school today, don’t you?”
Like all children his age, Raul was also attending school. He attended the Nevarian Spiritualist Academy. Even though he was a little younger than the other kids, I had been told by the principal and his teachers that he was quite popular and talented. He had many friends that he often played with after school. I’d met several of them myself, but perhaps because of my reputation, many of them were too nervous to speak with me.
“Okay!”
At the mention of school, Raul’s eyes lit up and he smiled before giving me a small bow and running off toward our private bathing room. I watched him go before turning back to Fay. As I admired her, she caught my eyes and smiled at me, causing me to smile back.
Like myself, Fay still looked like she had when she was seventeen years old. Her appearance was the result of her power. Spiritualists who reach the Third State of Spiritualism have incredible longevity of at least five hundred years, and Fay had reached the Fourth State of Spiritualism with her fire element. She’d probably live to be a thousand.
Still wearing a smile, I traveled through the Nevarian Braves headquarters, greeting servants and sectmates alike as I traveled to the office.
The main office was a large room covered in carpet. A coffee table and two couches sat in the center, one wall was dedicated to a long bookshelf that had somewhere around a thousand books, and the opposite wall had a couple of paintings hanging from it. All of the paintings were of myself and my family. They hung from the wall in frames.
At the back of the room was the large desk made from expensive wood that had been polished to a shine. Several stacks of parchment were littering the desk. Sitting behind it, writing something on a sheet of parchment, was Lin.
Felman was also in the room, standing off to one side as he waited for her to finish, and he noticed me before Lin did. I raised a hand to my lips. He nodded once and remained silent.
I observed the woman for a moment as I quietly shut the door behind me, watching as Lin finished writing and bit her lip, eyes roaming over her script. Another moment passed before she nodded and set the parchment on a growing stack. She was about to grab the next one, but then she looked up.
Our eyes met.
“Darling! Have you come to save this princess?!”
I almost grinned at how desperate Lin sounded, but I knew how difficult it was going over papers like this since I spent several hours every day doing the same. Lin was my helper. She dealt with matters regarding our finances and budget for the entire sect.
“In a manner of speaking.” I walked further into the room, sat down on the couch, and gestured for Lin to sit with me. “Why don’t you get out from behind that desk and take a break?”
“Yes, Darling!”
Lin was so ecstatic that she almost tripped over her own tail as she stood up and slithered out from behind the desk. Felman stepped out of the way as she rushed over to me. She plopped down on the couch and snuggled up to me like an overly affectionate pet, though I didn’t mind that at all. I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled the woman close.
Like myself and Fay, Lin had not changed at all. She had the same exotic beauty and youthfulness as always. Her skin was dark and her black hair traveled down to her lower back, while a fringe of bangs hovered just above her enchanting golden eyes. Being a lamia, she did not wear much in the way of clothing. Her red top looked more like strips of fabric that traveled across her chest and formed an X shape just above her mostly exposed breasts. The black runes in the center of her chest were perfectly visible. She also wore a wraparound skirt. Two golden bands wrapped around her biceps, and her ensemble was finished with a simple gold necklace that had two snakes entwined in the infinity symbol.
“I will check over these reports and file them away,” Felman said as he grabbed the stack of finished papers.
“Thank you,” Lin said.
“Just doing my job,” the man said.
Felman closed the door behind him. I listened to his footsteps, waiting for them to recede before facing my third wife.
“How are things looking?” I asked.
“We are doing well,” Lin said as she lifted her hips and set her tail across my lap. I gave her an amused look, but still began stroking her tail as she spoke. “We have two thousand new members this month. Most of them are from the Northern Plains. I’ve already allocated funds to have them trained and equipped. Once they finish training under Geirolf, I plan to have them stationed at our new branch in Capistrana.”
I reached out and began rubbing her runes as she told me about how our sect was doing. We currently had 160,000 members, which made us the third largest combat oriented sect on the continent after the Battling Valkyries and Paladin Sect. I was thinking we would eventually need to have a cutoff where we would no longer accept new members.
Our operations had also expanded. Because our main headquarters was in Nevaria, we had decided to build another branch office in Capistrana. It had been under construction until just last year. At present, there were only around one thousand people using the branch office, but it looked like Lin was trying to fill that up by sending new members who completed their training there.
“You always do a great job at managing things, Lin,” I said. “I really don’t know what I would do without you.”
“This princess does not know what you would do without her either,” Lin said with a fanged smile. “Since this princess has done so well, will you give her a reward?”
“I suppose I should. Good deeds do deserve a reward.”
Holding the woman closer, I leaned down and claimed Lin’s succulent lips, pushing my tongue passed them and stirring up her insides with saliva. Sin released a nasally hiss as she twined her tongue around mine. The electric sensation as she gave my tongue a fellatio was quite… unique. It was hard to explain how good it felt.
Still kissing, I reached up and pushed her top aside, revealing her perky and modest breasts. Her skin was cool, but it quickly warmed up as I pinched one of her nipples until it was a hard point. Lin’s gasping grew as she thrust her chest into my hand like she wanted more. I was all too happy to give her all my attention.
“Dahling…” Lin panted as I finally pulled back, a string of saliva connecting us. “Your hands… are so big… and warm… this princess… ha… ha… this princess is heating up…”
“So what you are saying is that you’re all nice and warm,” I said as I leaned down and began kissing her neck.
“Yes!”
Lin wrapped her arms around me as I kissed, licked, and bit her neck. Her skin was indeed growing warmer.
I didn’t stop playing with her breasts as I kissed my way across her skin, marking it with my tongue, traveling up, then down, and then back up. Lin released a squeal when I took her ear into my mouth. Her nipples grew pointier as I licked and nibbled on her ear. However, I didn’t want to just keep playing with her chest forever.
That was why I reached underneath her skirt, found her moist center, and began rubbing her.
“Hya! Dahling! Your hand! You are… rubbing this princess’s pussy raw!”
She was already pretty slick, so pushing a finger into her was quite easy. The problem was keeping it inside. Once my finger was inside of her up to the knuckle, going further became a work of effort. With my index finger wrapped around the spongy walls of her vagina, I used my thumb to massage her clit.
“Hahn! Haa! Hrrrrn! Ahn!”
Lin began undulating her hips as I fingered her pussy and kissed her neck, ears, and collarbone. Her loud cries served to let me know I was doing good. I always took verbal cues from my wives.
Her tail was slamming against the floor--which I had reinforced with adamantite--as I continued. Her wails grew louder, her body suddenly became stiff, and her vagina felt like it had constricted around my finger. Lin released a loud cry as she held me tight and a flood of sweet nectar gushed from her center.
“Ha… ha… ha… Dahling… this princess… feels so goooood…”
Lin was speaking incoherently as I laid her on the couch, using this chance to admire the woman I had just made cum. Her dark skin was flushed red, sweat covered her body, leaving glistening trails down her skin, and her chest jiggled with every heavy breath she took. It was a sight that made my mouth go dry.
I slid off the couch and knelt beside Lin. Undoing the knot that kept her skirt up, I removed it to bare her lower half.
Being a lamia, Lin’s hips were wider than a human woman’s. Among my wives, she had the widest hips. I loved the way her skin gradually shifted into scales. Lines scales were primarily brown with yellow stripes, but her front was made of yellow scales, and the way they curved inward to form a crevice down the center made them vaguely resemble a pair of legs. Her hairless pussy rested above her scales, a tiny slit hidden between two soft scales.
Licking my lips in anticipation, I reached out and spread her pussy open, revealing the soft interior and fleshy pink walls. Her clitorus was already hard and throbbing from the massage. I hadn’t even used the lightning element yet. The pretty pink color of her vagina was vastly different from her dark skin, mesmerizing me with the contrast.
“Ha… Darling?” Lin called to me in a questioning tone. “Why are you just gazing at it? Are you not going to give this princess her reward?”
“Sorry. You’re right. I do need to give you your reward.”
After speaking, I leaned down and took a quick whiff of Lin’s pussy, which had a very strong scent thanks to her first orgasm. I didn’t stop moving, however, and it wasn’t long before I was able to place my tongue over her small mound and lick it from where her scales began to her tiny clit.
“Ahn! Haaaa! Ah!!!”
Lin bucked her hips like she was convulsing, but I grabbed them and pinned her to the couch as I continued to eat her out. She had a very strong taste. The lingering taste on my tongue as I licked her dripping cunt caused me to become even more aroused. I could not wait to push my cock inside of her.
I wasn’t content with just licking. While keeping her hips pinned down so she couldn’t buck off the couch, I placed my thumb over her clit and began rubbing it even as I shoved my tongue in the deepest regions of her tight passage.
Lin’s scent became stronger as I ate her out, as sweat formed on her skin, and as her body heated up under my ministrations. Her tail had already curled around my legs and was tightening almost painfully. That was the surest sign she was going to orgasm.
It was not long before Lin’s back arched off the couch as she released a loud, incoherent wail. Her long tongue was sticking out of her mouth as her eyes went wide and crossed. Drool leaked from both her mouth and her pussy. I could sadly only lap at one, and since I was already there, I made sure to lick up all the pussy juice she released. Several seconds passed as the woman orgasmed. Once it washed over her, Lin’s entire body seemed to become boneless as she slumped onto the couch.
“Thank you for the meal,” I said as I wiped my mouth of the juices I couldn’t get.
I stood up and removed my jacket, shirt, undershirt, boots, pants, and underwear. I was technically even more naked than Lin, who still had her shirt on, even if it didn’t cover anything.
Climbing onto the couch, I straddled Lin’s hips and placed my dick over her pussy. I slowly rocked back and forth like a lumberjack sawing a log. Lin came to as my cock rubbed against her clit.
“Darling…” she mewled. “This princess wants you inside of her now. She wants you to give her a baby.”
I could have mentioned how she’d been saying this for awhile now, but I didn’t since I knew that would ruin the mood. Lin was at the stage where she desperately wanted to conceive a child. She got angry at me the last time I teased her about this. I already learned my lesson.
“So you’re ready? I’m not going to hold back,” I said.
“That’s fine. Be rough with this princess. Pound her so hard you shoot your seed right in her womb.”
With an invitation like that, there was no way I could resist. I grabbed my shaft, pressed the tip against her lips, and watched as the head disappeared inside of her. Lin released a strained moan, and I grunted as I used more strength to fully push my way inside of her.
“Darling! You’re splitting me in half! Your dick is splitting this princess in half!”
“That’s because. You are. So tight.”
“Pound me! Pound this princess, Darling!”
While she told me to pound her, that wasn’t very easy. Lin’s tight cunt made moving difficult. I often wondered if the reason her pussy hadn’t loosened in all the time I’d known her was because she had reached the Fourth State of Spiritualism, or if this was a lamia thing.
With another grunt, I thrust my hips, shoving my dick further inside of Lin, until I was completely buried inside of her. I only spent a moment relishing in the feeling of her spongy walls wrapping around me. Another grunt. Another thrust. Lin moaned as I started slowly and picked up the pace, churning her insides, thrusting myself inside of her.
There were only a few ways to have sex with a lamia. Because they didn’t have legs, there were not many positions we could do it in. For example, I couldn’t have her lean over the couch and spread her legs so I could pound her from behind. She didn’t have legs. If I wanted to have sex with her, then we had to be facing each other… unless I wanted to take her up the ass, which was Lin’s greatest weak point.
Speaking of…
As I leaned down and began exchanging a sloppy kiss with Lin, who had wrapped her arms around my neck, I reached underneath her and inserted a single finger up her butthole. Lin squealed into my mouth as I pounded her from the front and fingered her from the back. I could feel my cock with my finger. When I applied pressure, Lin’s entire body shuddered, and the sound of her tail slamming into and breaking apart the coffee table echoed around us.
The scent of sex hung heavily in the air, thick and heady, complimenting the feeling of our sweat-slicked bodies rubbing against each other. Her breasts were smashed against my chest, nipples rubbing against me without relent.
“Ah! Haaahh! Hyk! Dahling! Dahling!”
I released Lin’s mouth and began licking the sweat off her chest. Lin buried her fingers in my hair and scratched my scalp. I was licking the rune markings on her chest, which were glowing a bright blue now.
“Ahhh! Ahhhh! AHHHH!!!”
Lin’s entire body grew even more taut than before as she pulled my head into her chest. Her vagina tightened around me and made it impossible to move, but the feeling of her walls convulsing with an orgasm caused my control to slip. I released thick spurts of my seed inside of Lin’s deepest region. I wondered if this would result in her conceiving a child.
“Ha… ha… ha…”
No sounds penetrated the room except for mine and Lin’s heavy breathing. I rested my head on her chest, covered in sweat and my saliva, basking in the afterglow of our love making. The feeling of Lin tenderly stroking my hair felt so nice. I was sure I could have fallen asleep like this.
But just as the thought of sleep arrived, it left when the door opened. I looked up to find Kari entering the room. She shut the door behind her, pressed her back against it, and looked around the room before spotting us on the couch.
“Big… Sister…” Lin mumbled.
Kari’s eyes gleamed. “It seems you two haven’t changed since I went into closed door training. I hope you have some energy leftover for me, Eryk. I’ve gone far too long without sex.”
“Kari…” I pushed myself up and slid off Lin’s hips and tail. “If you’re here, does that mean you’ve reached the Fourth State of Spiritualism?”
In response to my words, Kari beamed at me, raised her hand, and extended two fingers to form a V-shape, the universal sign of victory.
Comments
Did I contradict myself in this chapter?
Blunthammer
At one point, you stated that the lifespan for 3rd and 4th lvl were 1k and 5k years.
I'll see what I can do.
Theo
Please give Raul some siblings!
They are actually stuck in something of a rut right now. None of them have been able to increase their power by much because of certain reasons I'm hoping to reveal in this Act. That said, I've got some plans for this Act that should prove interesting.
Devin
What I’m really excited about is how epic Eryk and Faye are now, them being the battle maniacs . Knowing them I doubt they were just sitting around getting “fat”. Maybe lvl ups in the other elements!?
Probably not gonna happen. This series unfortunately didn't make enough money for me to pay my artist and editor, so it got cut. The only way I would be able to publish this is if sales pick up.
Thanks for pointing out those mistakes. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing Kari reach the Fourth State.
Tim Nielsen
FINALLY, lol. I'm glad to see that Kari finally got forth lvl. And I think it's a good thing that Eric has plenty of energy otherwise I think he'd be in trouble with Kari so happy. Also in the beginning of this chapter She was used instead of He when Eric and son were sparring. And I also think instead of him being caked with sweat he was probably saturated with sweat ?
Pear
Hey I know this isn’t the right place to ask this but when is the next ignoble knight coming out?
David Fletcher
Definitely. No Kari doubt here.
True, but then you have to think about this; Kari was able to do something without aid that required the others to take pills. She's pretty awesome.
Yuus. I decided to have Kari make it to the Fourth State on her own as well, to showcase how talented she is. And it was about 3 years give or take. It won't be mentioned since it's not that important, but I don't mind telling you.
There will be many small changes with my characters and a few larger changes. The beginning of this act is gonna have a major plot twist though. I think you'll be surprised.
Grant
I am curious about the time skip. I wonder if that one character, Erica I think, was able to join the harem. Also curious what the time skip has done to Siv and if she is a little more talkative. I also wonder if the mc has met that one mermaid from the alternative timeline. Can't wait for the next chapter.
David Fletcher
Also thank you for the time skip. Would have been like Eryk 2.0 to follow the son’s only real question would be I’d Eryk ever looked into the spatial distortions he caused, but we’ll get to that at some point.
Tanner Lovelace
Yes! Finally Kari gets even with the rest of her family! Now hopefully we’ll also see Lin get pregnant and then all of the family progress more towards higher states of spiritualism! I’m curious how long she was in closed door training, though. Any chance that might be mentioned in a future chapter?
David Fletcher
Surprise time skip was a surprise. Closed training almost makes you feel bad for Kari when none of the others needed to do it.
