Chapter 90: The succubusses attack!
Leon didn't use the flying service of his dragon before for a few reasons.
The main reason is that he likes his slow life, and time in his carriage is naturally precious. Additionally, Celes shares those feelings, loving the new life away from many responsibilities and people! Another reason is that Leon and Celes don't want to get used to such transport, so the duo prefers their horses and carriage.
Also, a little cruel but true is that the horses are also easily changeable partners…
But Leon was also aware that the dragon simply drew too much attention. For that reason, he didn't even bother Alexandra with this idea, keeping her close to his side as his maid. And his worries soon became a reality, confirming that Leon hadn't been thinking too much!
"A dragon ahead of us, Master!" Alexandra shouted loudly, notifying her master and mistress.
It was a dragon of the same size as her, with black and purple scales. His jaw appeared ravenous, able and ready to devour at least a village of two hundred humans in one go, as his tongue lolled out and swayed with saliva dripping. And his purple slits of eyes seemed to contain a power to induce fear in everyone, including powerful people.
Judging by a cover was never a good idea, but that dragon's appearance was a perfect example of how intimidating this race could look. It was terrifying and hurtled against the blue dragon like a meteor.
"Swerve to the side!" Leon commanded, already wearing a fed-up expression.
He didn't expect another event to happen so fast; even if there was, he simply wanted to go through it. But for obvious reasons, another dragon appeared and didn't even ask for identity!
He simply wanted to devour them!
Leon and Alexandra found something odd in that dragon, however.
"It's… not a dragon!" Alexandra was the first one to notice the abnormality.
She was a tad too late, both in her observation and movement. She couldn't avoid bumping into her kin, but at the same time, the dragon revealed his true identity, turning into a group of ten women. Those women appeared in scant clothes, having belts wrapping their soft curves.
They covered their long legs in black leggings and wore high heels. On their back, every girl had bat-like wings!
It seemed impractical to fight in those clothes. And their bodies were endowed with too much weight around their chests and bottoms.
But Leon had Louise as his partner, and this woman was short yet blessed with voluptuous tits that didn't hinder her battle style, which was energetic and athletic, so he didn't doubt that these women could be nimble, fast, and dangerous! Moreover, those girls had a charm Leon hadn't seen before…
Celes explained the cause. "Succubuses! Demons! They have shape-shifting skills, Master! They are-"
Having only enough time to put a guard on, Leon and Celes blocked the first strike. Two of the ten succubi landed on them with their heels, aiming to topple them backward. That didn't happen, as the human and his vampiress were powerful people, too.
However, Leon had never fought high in the skies. Celes also didn't have her wings yet, for she lacked the level to unlock her vampiress' bloodline! They focused so much on their grounding that the succubusses noticed it.
The energy crackled around the alluring women's palms, then all of them clenched the energy whips. Lashing out at Leon and Celes' legs, the ends of their whips advanced like wild snakes, reminding Leon about his early days. He and his partner defended themselves well, just like against any other attacks, but still lost their footing.
Thus, they fell.
"Celes!" Leon located his vampiress despite the wind battering his eyes. She was fine, too, only having doubts about her survival…
Even with succubusses chasing after her, Celes did her best to fend off their assaults by using her new style and bloody threads swirling to fight for her master's sake.
Leon also saw those women going at him. He squeezed his brain, analyzing everything around himself and what his next moves should be. At first, his heart yearned to turn Celes into a card form to keep her safe from all assaults. But his brain quickly told him it was better to keep that feature for later.
Leon's mind spun, and he soon channeled his command through his heart.
Alexandra turned into a human form, with her wings behind her… Those shattered her new clothes, and she hated that, but her master's command was more important. Following his wish, she flew at her mistress, flapping those wings like never before, drawing out her full speed and beyond.
Perhaps, it was Leon's urgent voice that broke her limits.
"Now then…" Leon looked below, glowering at the forest beneath him, expanding toward him at a rapid pace.
He found out that he still had a lot of time! It'd be at least a few minutes before he slammed into that leaf carpet — Leon didn't want to first-face land on it.
He also treasured his back, for adorable girls would embrace him from behind in the future!
"About the time I take the girl's invitation, right? All of them throwing themselves at me!" Leon jested and reached for his shirt's collar. He shook it a few times using both hands as though brushing off dirt or succubusses' bad influence.
He then extended his hand forward, his chains yanking and buzzing with his feelings and mana.
Crimson chains took over the skies with their unique appearance and mana, then coiled around one of the succubuss' wrists. The girl curved her lips seductively, smiling, and didn't do anything with herself bonded to her prey. Even when the chains burned into her skin, she kept her smile up, and faint moans escaped her lips.
Her allies also laughed and even jealously glanced in her direction. Not forgetting about their work, the succubis' whips went after Leon, coiling around his limbs.
But then, their prey revealed his confident smile. "You no longer will like candle play after today… You will no longer have any more fun. I'll give you a chance to kiss me, though!"
And with those surprising words, Leon's chains slithered more around the girl's waist, bringing him closer to her side. He utterly ignored all whips around him, which had been trying to hold him back. In fact, Leon's strength even pulled a few succubis' to him, disrupting their comfortable flight.
Before the succubi had a chance to 'kiss' him, Leon pummeled her face with his balled hands, then used her body as a footing to jump higher, controlling his flight.
He caught the whips around his limbs, held them in a bundle, then used other succubusses to safely land in the forest, enjoying the new experience. He even joked a few times, saying that now that he's hitting on girls, they all suddenly want to run away and not even have a talk with him.
"If I'm not someone you expected, you ought to tell me that face to face! Sweet girls, I won't punch your faces like I did to your friend, or maybe I will? Haha!"
Leon even shared his teammates' experience about long-distance relationships and how tiring and troubling it was for him, all to draw the succubusses to his side. "Poor man got a heart attack when he saw her in real life."
But because those girls suddenly lost a desire to eat him, their battle style changed, and Leon could only stretch his limbs now that he stood on the ground.
His confident smile remained unfazed.
