She pulled back on her sling style tunic, revealing rather large breasts that had light blue nipples. They were so exotic, so mesmerizing. Shiva was close enough where I could lean down and grab one with my teeth. It was both soft and cold to the touch.
I liked it.
The ship shook again. “They must be giving Ifrit a good fight. It won't be long now until you're needed,” she explained.
With an expert hand, Shiva undid the buttons to my tunic which was visible as the armor didn't cover. As the material parted, my hard cock flopped out. Normally the cold would have made me shrivel up like a bad piece of fruit, but with Shiva, I felt as if my hard-on could've kept growing. The tip mushroomed out, revealing to Shiva where all my glorious seed would be coming from.
Her greedy eyes took it in which led to her pale blue lips swallowing it whole. It felt as if my love muscle was covered in slick, watery, ice. Within moments of her head bobbing back and forth, I blasted a load deep into her throat. The sucking noise Shiva made as she drank it all in made sure my cock stayed hard, even after the initial eruption of seed.
“Mmmm, I love the taste of fresh cum,” the ice summon cooed.
We weren't done yet. As a monstrous roar echoed all around us, I turned her around so her ass was facing me. I pulled away the sling, sliding it out of her ass and revealing her juicy, wet pussy. The sweet moans she made as inch by inch my cock slid into her were outstanding.
“Ifrit… will transform… soon,” she panted.
As I began thrusting into her, I knew my time was limited. I placed both hands on her hips and helped us along, pulling and pushing her body in rhythm with my own movements. Shiva kept looking back at me, her blue eyes begging for me to unload even more cum to her. Her womanhood wanted it; it had me locked in as if to say you aren't cumming anywhere else but inside me.
Believe me, I would only be cumming inside her.
“Unleash your royal genes inside me. I am your slave, Prince Dante,” she moaned.
I felt bad for my selfishness, but this was too good to pass up. As my friends were battling Ifrit, I was pumping sticky load after sticky load into Shiva's love tunnel. If anything else happened during these euphoric moments in time, they were lost. The two of us grunted and moaned to our hearts’ content as we both found our orgasm. Mine triggered hers which in turn milked a bit more out of me. When my body could cum no more, I slid out, breathing hard.
“You must hurry, it appears your friends have defeated Ifrit’s first form.”
What? No cuddling? “Tossing me into the fire?”
“I will see you again soon, lover boy. Ascend to your destiny, Dante,” Shiva said as she vanished.
The moment she left, the ice disappeared. I got my shit together and sprinted to the front of the airship. It took a lot longer as we were really rocking and rolling. The moment I exited the ship and out in to the front deck, my mouth would've hit the wooden surface if it could've.
I was just in time to see Ifrit transform from his human form into his true summon form. His burning embers of eyes found me quickly. “Dante, damned prince of Skylonus. I see Shiva failed,” he growled.
“She didn't fail, she recognized I have a chance,” I responded. I unsheathed lunar leviathan and ut reacted the same way to Ifrit as it did to Shiva.
Ifrit blazed, his demonic body growing even more. Soon, a monstrous creature that resembled a humanoid bulldog that was on fire was floating high over us. Everyone looked quite a bit taken back.
We were going head to head with a full-blown summoned being.
“It'll be okay,” I said.
“Do you really think so?” Kira asked.
Rico wasn't hiding his terrified feelings at all. “Dante, this is scary.”
“Remember what Typhon did?” Allysa added.
These guys were pretty freaked out as the battle began. My turn came first and I was only given one option, a command I'd never seen before: Dominance
I pointed the lunar leviathan at Ifrit. “You will obey,” I growled.
“I. WILL. NOT!”
Counter - Damnation
Ifrit wasn't wasting any time going big. The sky went pitch black over us as Ifrit disappeared. As suddenly as he vanished, the black sky parted and his oversized head reappeared, mouth wide open. Torrents of flames came our way, looking to incinerate us in a flash.
Then I countered him: Skylonus deflect
I jumped in front of the group and swung lunar leviathan as hard as I could. It connected with Ifrit's attack and sent the blaze back into his face. He howled in pain; the black skies immediately cleared up as Ifrit was forced out of his attack. Once the deflect finished, he returned to his starting position.
“Dante, that was amazing!” Rico cheered.
“You damn fools,” Ifrit said. “Dying is the best option for you.”
“Not the way I see it. Dying is the coward’s way out,” I snapped back.
Having knocked back his ultimate attack, the real fight began. The counter attack took away about a quarter of his HP bar, but Ifrit was still fully charged. His turn came around again, skipping everyone else: Firaga
His high-end fire spell burned us good. Fortunately, at this point, all of our levels were high enough to survive with little damage to us. Without his big attack, Ifrit was nothing more but a leveled-up fire mage.
He had nothing we couldn't deal with.
With confidence building, we went into grind mode. Kira became our de facto healer when it was needed with Rico being backup with potions. Ifrit attempted to fight back even harder but it soon became clear that he didn't have enough.
His weakness was to my sword and it showed.
Death Among Us
The special sword skill that my sword carried carved up Ifrit's HP like hot butter. After this last attack, he dropped from the sky and back on to the airship's deck. Ifrit had just hit critical.
The dominance command appeared again. Pointing the lunar leviathan at him again, “It's over, Ifrit! Surrender!”
He still fought against me. “Never! Your ancestors doomed the summons and I will never be your slave again.”
“You'd rather be Victor's?”
“At least he wants to restart this filthy planet. There's no point in saving it.”
Ifrit wouldn't be swayed. Instead, he chose the kamikaze route: Self destruct
He began to glow. As his body was overtaken with hues of orange and red, it was quite obvious he was about to explode, taking us all with him. There was nothing we could do but watch in horror. Then, as he exploded, a huge ice wall blocked us from Ifrit, absorbing the blast. The wall curved and formed a sphere around the detonation point, lighting up the sky with a prism effect.
Then it was no more.
The world had lost another summon.
We each gained a level, Alyssa gained Ifrit's armor, and Rico was rewarded with the Fire God's Claw. But it felt hollow. Summons, some of the oldest and most powerful beings alive were being sacrificed in this war Victor had started.
“Ifrit was my brother.”
Shiva materialized out of ice shards beside me. It was clear the loss of Ifrit stung deep. “We only ever did what we thought was best for us, the summons. And look where that got us, to be used as pawns in a human's war. That ends.”
“We want to end this, too.”
Shiva acknowledged Kira with a slight nod. “The Nagano Nation, a country all others should've aspired to be like. Should you win this confrontation, please be better.”
“This is Gibraltar’s doing,” Alyssa proclaimed. “I will lay down my life to make sure Victor doesn't see another day.”
Shiva saved her sternest words for her. “As one who served under the self-proclaimed God King, shame on us for being submissive to him. I was blinded by my own lust for freedom. What was your excuse?”
“My love of country.”
We all could relate to that. “We are all somewhat to blame for this,” I said. “Some more than others. The main
point moving forward is we all agree it needs to end. Shiva, can you guide us to Victor?”
“To Doomengard? Of course, but be warned Typhon guards the passage in. He makes Ifrit and I seem docile.”
No one needed to remind me of Typhon's wrath. “We head there at once. We will figure out a plan as we approach.”
The head south, Doomengard awaits us at the southernmost point of Alfheim. We should all prepare ourselves.”
::Everyone left party::
::Dante gained skill - Icy Nightmare::
As Kira left to the control room and everyone else dispersed, I figured now would be an appropriate time to rally the troops one last time. We were heading straight into the heart of a mad man's lair with no idea what he was up to or even his current state of mind.
Well, maybe one of us knew.
My first stop was to follow the Ice Mistress back to the corridor where we first met. As soon as I entered, the ice reformed making sure no one could come in and hear us.
“I am a bit surprised and flattered you came to see me first,” she said with a coy smile.
She was quite the knockout and I would've been all about romping with her again. This time… this time I needed information. “What exactly is Victor up to?”
Shiva folded her arms and sighed. “The Uprising, when one starts the Apocalypse and is given the power to reshape the world. Victor has that power; we foolishly bestowed it upon him, both willingly and unwittingly.”
“I'm confused.”
“After the Skylonus situation, we came up with a backup plan to restart the world. When Victor brought us back, we decided to imbue those powers to him. Suffice to say, I wasn't entirely thrilled, but Ifrit convinced me was the best option,” she finished.
Until she met me. “You think that we present a better chance?”
She poked me in the chest. “You are the best chance. You don't even know the destiny you are embarking on,” Shiva said.
What the hell did that mean?
“There's one last thing you need to know. With Tiamat's power as a conduit, Victor's powers will be incredible. Be prepared to see him summon her on a whim,” she explained.
“Will my sword be able to break that connection like it did for you?”
She shrugged her shoulders. “Victor's grasp over us that willingly chose to follow him was never that great. Once he had what he wanted, the connection was more thread than rope.”
And with Tiamat not being a willing participant, I took her answer as not a good chance. Damnit.
“Knowing what you know, you should probably talk to everyone else. They need to believe in their leader,” Shiva advised.
The ice in the door disappeared, allowing me to leave.
::Icy Nightmare upgraded::
As I left and began walking back towards the main part of the ship, I saw Rico licking his front paw by the galley. With a flash of a smile, the two of us walked in and took seats around the table. Even though he was only a bearcat, I felt like he was my closest guy friend.
“I thought we were done after Ifrit went all big and bad,” he huffed.
I chuckled; Rico was real, as always. “It’s something to behold if you’ve never seen it before,” I admitted.
“We’re going to see more of it, aren’t we?”
“Yeah we are, Rico.”
The two of us just sat there for a bit. Rico walked over and plopped down right beside me. It was pleasant, for a brief moment in time there were no wars, no mad men, or even heavy emotions. There was just me and a bearcat, sitting quietly listening to the hum of the airship cutting through sky as we approached our destinies.
This was happiness.
Soon, all the weight of our journey began to come back. “Victor will never stop,” Rico said.
“He has the power to end the world. There's no guarantee that we'll even get there in time, let alone stop him,” I admitted.
“But we're going to try.”
“That we are, Rico.”
::Rico gained skill - Friends ‘til the end::
Rico fell asleep as I stroked his fur. Good. The bearcat would need his strength for the fight to come. Sliding out ever so slowly, I turned off the light as I re-entered the main corridor. I continued my trek towards the front, only to stop when I heard loud grunts coming from one of the stern side cabins. I slowly crept over, wondering if something or someone had stowed away on our vessel. As I slowly opened the door, I gasped in shock.
Alyssa was lying on the bed, pants down, three fingers deep into her neatly trimmed pussy.
She looked up just in time to see me. “Oh! Dante! What are you doing here?” she squealed.
I felt my face go red. “I, uh, was checking on some strange noises?”
Alyssa was in no position to do anything but stare awkwardly at me. My feet were like cement, trying to decide what to do. Then it was my brain that made the right call. “Take whatever time you need to yourself. Who knows what hell Victor will have prepared for us, but we all need to relax in our own ways. If you need anything, you know where to find me.”
Alyssa didn’t say a word. If she was frozen, I’d believe it. Then, “I won’t let you down again.”
“You’ve made up for your betrayal to me. Then only thing left to do is make it up to Alfheim.”
::Alyssa gained skill - Redeeming rush::
I closed the door behind me, glad it wasn’t an enemy, just a very weird encounter with the former Gibraltar warrior. I was glad that was behind me, however. As much as she intrigued me in the beginning of the journey, at this point, she was mainly just a sword to use. A welcome and handy warrior, but the betrayal made sure I’d never see her as anything more than a tool that I’d use to accomplish my final goal - kill Victor.
My depression had obviously been cured. The last crewmember I needed to see had never given up on me and now look what I’ve become. From the experiences in the research station, my faith had been restored. It was a shame I’d been so hardheaded and jerk-faced before. A million apologies couldn’t make it up to Kira, but I’d try.
As I reached the door to the control room, where I knew she was flying this thing, a momentary thought of Tiamat reached out to me. I heard her, the pain she was in. “I’m coming, Zara,” I whispered to myself.
The moment I entered the control room, Kira was waiting for me. “You love her, don’t you?”
“I do,” I admitted.
“But there’s room in your heart for many, I can see that.”
It was like Kira had a gift to see things that weren’t even clear to the person she was talking to. “If I’ve learned one thing on this adventure, it’s that those people who stick by you and remain loyal until the bitter end are the ones to keep in your heart forever.”
“Wise words from a future king.”
I didn’t know what my future held, but being king wasn’t in the cards. “I think I’m going to take another road, if we make it out that is,” I added.
Kira crossed her arms. “Still don’t believe we’ll win?”
“What we are about to engage, I don’t think there will be winners or losers. Alfheim’s already lost a lot; our job is to stop it at any cost - even our lives.”
That somber point brought the mood in the room to a very low point. “If this is truly our last moments on this world, we should savor them, no?” Kira asked.
And just like that, the mood did a complete one hundred and eighty degree turn. It wasn’t joy or even happiness, it was companionship built on the fires of war and respect. My love for Kira was different than my love for Zara. She was right; I could be in love with more than one person and that was okay. As Kira placed the ship’s controls into autopilot, the two of us reached for each other.
Fiercely and with with no restraint.
As we undid each other’s clothing, the feeling of butterflies hit me. It’d been so long since the two of us were last intimate! I hoped she still felt fondly of me afterwards. Had I improved as a lover?
> Her tongue probed my mouth, trying to wrestle with my own in a lustful duel of control. I would fight back, making sure she knew that control was something I wouldn’t give up without a fight. Kira was mine again! The feelings of euphoria spread through me; different than with Zara but with the same amount of passion and wonderment.
Soon, I freed her breasts of their restraints. They were just as perfect and round as I remembered them. Kira let out the slightest of moans as I tweaked the left nipple with two fingers. The next time, I did it a bit harder which caused her to break away from our kiss to shudder and groan. Kira grabbed my hand and placed it upon her other breast, silently imploring to tease that one, too.
I wasn't going to let her down. As I worked on those puffy pink wonders, we reengaged in our tongue work out, all the while her hand gripped my cock, slowly stroking it with expert motions. The best part was how she stopped near the head and teased the ridge just a little.
It drove me wild.
When traces of precum began to slide on to her fingertips, she dropped to her knees and swallowed my enlarged organ whole. With long, slow motions, Kira continued to edge me closer and closer. I felt the hot cum building in my balls, getting ready to burst down her willing throat.
No, I didn't want all this pleasure for myself. The two of us needed to share the experience. I stopped Kira. “You know where this belongs,” I suggested.
“Don't pull out once your inside of me.”
That was a command I could follow. With her awaiting slick hole waiting, I eagerly slid my sock in, pushing it as far back as I could. Kira’s eyes rolled back for the slightest of moments, letting me know I was in the right spot.
The uncontrollable heat once again crawled into our bodies as we began to thrust and gyrate without much need for thought. This was pure primal instinct; our bodies craving the pleasure that we were ensnared in. I couldn't speak for Kira, but my cock was humming with delight. Maker above, I just wanted to fill her up with my seed.
