Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage
Chapter 70 - 70: Unknown Creature

A white creature desperately ran for its life through the snowy forest. It catches each of its heavy breaths as the creature tries to escape from its pursuers, enduring the pain it took before separating from its kind.

No matter where it goes or how fast it runs, its pursuers are sneeringly chasing the creature like wolves tailing a weak prey. Aside from its paw marks on the white snow, the crimson liquid from its deep marks leaves a trail of its tracks.

The enemies ravaged their settlements and went on a violent spree against their occupants. The other side ceased to take advantage of the cold season to attack the resting nemesis.

The two tribes have been hostile toward each other for a long time, long before civilization. From disputes of authority over scrimmaged territory to the survival of the fittest.

The two opposing races used every single means to destroy and erase one another. But the attacking side was going to put an end to this long-term relationship in one day.

The monster didn't stop its silver paws from running over the cold yet soft snow despite knowing its pursuers were playing with it. White puffs are coming out of its tired mouth as it catches its breath.

Its staggered limbs are at their utmost limits escaping from its decrepit home. Not long passed before the monster slowed down and collapsed from exhaustion.

"…Kyu…"

A tired and low whine let out the worn-out and injured monster. A few seconds later, its pursuers, three wolf-type monsters, casually waltzed through the snow, approaching the lying monster.

Now that playtime is over, one of the wolves kicked the monster with the intention of killing it. The monster flew fast towards the tree nearby. The force of the kick snapped the tree in half all the way to the second one, although it didn't break.

The distance between the two trees is far, making the monster travel far in midair. Despite that, the monster keeps its body and soul together. The reason behind it was that the monster has a higher level and more stats than the wolves.

The wolves, certain that they could inflict enough damage on the monster, slowly but confidently walked to it. But the wolves let their guards down.

With enough time, the monster barely managed to cast a certain spell at random. Before the wolves noticed the disappearance of its smell, the monster vanished from the snow.

It's the hottest day of the year. The season where the sun bathes the northern hemisphere of the world in heat is summer.

In the middle of the day, in the month of Cancer, my sister, who had started to study at the academy in the Imperial Capital, sent a letter to us stating,

'I am very sorry, Mothers. I will be challenging the Imperial Dungeon to improve myself, so I cannot go home this summer break. And also… expect visitors to visit our mansion.'

"It seems like we cannot have Louise this summer." Mother, who is sitting on a couch, said this in a sad manner. "I know training is a must, but family is important too."

"Our daughter's already a proper lady." Mom, who is occupying the excess space of Mother's seat, solaced Mother. "She's not the little girl from before, you know?" Then she pulled Mother's head into her ample, succulent bosom.

"Mmm~. Ay wery rav yu. Yur da bet." Mother then wrapped her arms around Mom.

"Can you be more mindful of your surroundings?" Witnessing their coquetry, I blurted out my envy.

Sophia, who's sitting besides me, opens her arms. "Come here, Raphael. Let me spoil you."

"Thank you, Sophia. You are the angel of my life." Accepting her invitation, I plunged my face into the soft assets of my beautiful future wife.

Although they are not as bountiful as my Mom's or Gabrielle's, I still love them because they were owned by her.

I took a glance at my mothers and glimpsed Mom wink at me when our eyes met. I winked at her back as discreetly as I could without being noticed by Sophia.

It's been months since my approach to Mom. Since then, I have barely engaged in an interaction with her for a few days, the same as she has with me, though we have still continued our mother-son relationship.

Once our awkwardness settled, we eventually became more intimate with each other. When she was alone, I sometimes surprised her by hugging her from behind, sometimes with rubs.

Even with our intimacy, she didn't give me a chance to hear her response to my feelings. She really wanted to say it this fall.

We stopped making physical contact when Mother got home. Mother doesn't know that I am flirting with her wife behind her back.

But fret not, Mother; once I'm done with Mom, you'll be the next one, if only I'd stay alive at that time, probably.

I have to recruit these two high-class generals to build my forces. The more powerful and plentiful my army will become, the greater my chances of gaining victory once I spark a revolution against my sister.

(And I might take her, including her properties, as my spoils of war once I win.)

We are currently in the living area as we read Sister's not-so-good letter from the empire. Sophia's on my side, using the same couch as the flirty couple. She will be part of the family, so she's included in family matters.

I haven't told her about the development of my relationship with Mom. Sophia had seen Sister as a rival, and I am going to add one soon. I truly do not want to hurt her, but this is really all I want.

I will slowly break down details for her, time by time. I want to deploy cushions before dropping the bomb.

Sister cannot visit us on her summer vacation because she's been grinding herself inside a 70-floored dungeon. The Imperial Dungeon was a conquered one, so the resurrection feature is available.

Without Sister, we cannot go dungeon crawling and face the 60th Floor Guardian together. My sister wanted to personally conquer the dungeon, so I have to wait until her next vacation.

But winter is cold, so her next break might not be the right time.

Mother and I passionately continued to embrace our respective partners for a while. With my satisfaction full-tanked, I raised my head to continue our conversation.

"But what did she mean by visitors?"

"I don't know. Perhaps she invited someone?" Still having her wife trek her twin mountains, Mom answered my question while caressing Mother's head.

Sister told us to anticipate visitors this month. She didn't specify who or how many will be coming, but as nobles, we have to give them a warm welcome in the middle of summer.

◆◇◆◇◆◇

After eating my lunch, I went to the forest, or the plain, to be exact, to continue my training. I already achieved my goal, which was to acquire Longevity skill, but mothers don't know a thing about it yet.

It might rouse suspicion if I suddenly stopped working. I also wanted to become stronger and better in combat; killing monsters to evolve into a High Human is my goal for life now.

"Skwah!"

"Hello, Griffith. I am here again."

As usual, Griffith immediately rushed to me as soon as she detected my presence after I teleported. If she misses me this much when I'm not here for just a day, how about when I started studying in the empire?

(Maybe I can visit her once a week.)

Michael and the others are in the Imperial Capital right now, enjoying their adventurers' lives. Leaving me no one to accompany me.

"Wanna rove around the forest with me?"

"Skwah."

"Hm. I'll take that as yes."

I opened my Inventory and withdrew her bridle. Equipped it on her before mounting her soft back.

"Blast off!"

Griffith slowly flapped her wide and majestic wings and then flew off into the azure sky. Flying constantly a thousand feet above the ground, we sonically stroll above the thick forest.

I have motives for going to the vast and dense forest instead of the monster-rich dungeon. I've been slaughtering monsters in the dungeon for some time until now.

Stepping on the hot sands of the desert floors, I kill an indefinite amount of monsters, gain EXP, then Level up. Repeat.

If I still have free time, I will fondle Gabrielle's and the ladies' soft assets. Just grope, nothing more, nothing less. The ladies are certainly desirous and tempting, but I have to set boundaries for a certain period of time.

I've been doing the same thing since Sister's departure. Three times a week, from cool spring to hot summer. Things had gotten boring except for the fondling part.

Encountering and killing the same monster every single session pillage no skill. Repeating attack patterns improves neither my tactics nor my strategies. That's why I am looking for new monsters within the vast forest.

"Oh! Looks like I detected something new."

After almost an hour of swirling around the vicinity, a hundred kilometers south of the plain, I perceived an unknown entity. Within the coverage of my Omnidirectional Perception, a quadrupedal creature popped up a dozen kilometers ahead. But…

"It seems badly injured… hurry up, Griffith."

"Skwah!" She croaked harshly, increasing her flight speed.

Just half a minute had passed before we arrived and landed at the location. Upon stepping my feet on the earth, an unconscious and bleeding monster unfolded before our eyes.

I approached the monster and checked its condition. "That's a lot of damage."

Its wounds are visibly deep and fatal despite its thick fur covered with blood. Broken bones and torn flesh surfaced from its skin. In spite of being in that situation, the three-meter-long mammal monster managed to stay alive and breathe heavily.

"I have to heal it immediately before it completely loses its life." I placed both my hands on its blood-drenched bushy silver fur. "Level 5 High Heal!"

Pale aquamarine light emitted from the suffering monster, warm and soothing. Deep wounds quickly closed up and healed; bone fractures were conjoined and fixed. The blood still strained its furs, but the monster has been completely healed.

"All done. But it's still down for the count."

After being healed, the monster's still lying on the ground. It must have been mentally exhausted from all the trauma and distress it experienced today.

I tried to find if it left trails like footprints or blood but couldn't find any. I still couldn't find out how it got here, but we cannot stay put.

"Alright. I don't know what or who attacked it, but it's definitely dangerous if we stay here any longer. Let's take it to the dungeon and wait for it to awake."

I grasped Griffith and the monster at the same time and warped ourselves to the plain and then to the dungeon.
