Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 1327: Ancient Dragon

A weird shape that could only be described in one word...

”Dick?”

Nyx muttered, blinking in confusion, when Aether all of a sudden shouted, startled by the bizarre sight of her new creation. As she looked up, she saw him gawking at her work... her creation, which, of course, was nothing like what he seemed to be imagining.

But for Aether... it was nothing but a freaking dick, looming like the size of a mountain... What the fuck is going on here?

Honestly, he was beyond words to see this shit with his own eyes... the long, wrinkled muscle, twisting and bulging, ending with an obscene, swollen tip.

”Yuck...” Aether turned to Nyx, his expression twisted, and shouted, ”What the fuck is that? I’ve never seen anything like it before. Why would you even make something like that?”

Nyx blinked as she walked towards Aether and lightly patted his shoulder, ”That’s our new family member. Aren’t you going to say hello?”

”...” Aether blinked, stunned. Family member? That dick? Is she serious? He stared at Nyx, trying to read her face, but her expression was so serene it made his skin crawl.

Thud!

Thud!

The ground trembled slightly as the dick jumped... yes, it actually jumped, as if it was freaking alive!!

His face turned even more horrific, ”Nope. Nope! We are not getting this family member.”

”B-but this is—” Nyx started, but Aether cut her off, ”It’s a freaking alive dick!!”

Nyx blinked again, hesitating. She glanced from the strange structure back to Aether, and, in a moment of bizarre realisation, her eyes drifted down to his crotch as if comparing shapes. She tilted her head, studying the resemblance, then glanced back at her creation... A faint red flush crept up her cheeks.

She immediately covered her face with her hands, giggling nervously as a wave of embarrassment swept over her... feeling strangely shy!!

Aether inwardly cried, ’Why are you getting shy, idiot!’ he screamed at her inside his mind.

Why was he always surrounded by such lunatics?

Just then, with perfect timing, Starla appeared between them. The ghostly woman crossed her arms, fixing both her Queen and King with a deadpan stare.

Her face was a perfect picture of disbelief.

Like... are they fucking serious now?

Starla shook her head, sighing in disappointment, ”That’s not what you think it is, Lord Aether. Please... for the love of the gods, try using your eyes.”

”Uh? Then what is it?” Aether frowned, brow furrowed, unable to see anything but the obvious.

Starla pointed at the shape, ”Well, it’s a dragon. Or... at least, that’s what it’s supposed to be.”

”...” Aether looked at her with a weird face. A dragon? This? It’s a dragon?

The heck?

He had seen every kind and variety of dragon in existence—serpentine, winged, scaled, and monstrous. And this woman was saying this dick-shaped monstrosity was a dragon too?

The fuck?

Aether looked back at the structure, struggling to imagine any dragon he’d ever known in this obscene shape. He squinted, trying to see the mythical beast within the curves,

”Nah, it’s definitely a dick. No matter how you look at it, it’s a dick, Nyx. Admit it.”

Nyx covered her face with an even deeper expression of shame... as if she was losing her dignity with every word he spoke.

Starla sighed deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose. ”Lord... It’s the dragon’s neck.”

Aether stared at her in disbelief, ”Neck? The heck are you saying, Starla?”

Starla nodded, her expression matter-of-fact. ”Our Queen ventured out searching for a soul in the Pyra Empire, in the graveyards, and after some stumbling around, she found this one... It’s part of a dragon’s neck.”

Hearing that, Aether was surprised, his mind flashing back, ’Oh... right, Emberlyn did mention Nyx was asking about graveyards recently...’ He turned back to the structure, studying it closely.

No matter how he looked at this thing... it was still definitely dick-shaped.

”Why is it just a neck?”

”Because that’s what our Queen found... she couldn’t find the other remains,” Starla explained, glancing at Nyx for confirmation. But Nyx was still covering her face in shame, her shoulders hunched.

It looked like her husband’s teasing had really made her feel humiliated for some reason.

Aether’s curiosity deepened, ”Oh? She could even bring the individual parts back, not just whole bodies?”

Starla shook her head, correcting him gently. ”No, my Lord. It’s not that she could bring back just any part... rather, if she managed to retrieve an individual piece, that means all the other parts are still out there. They remain scattered... If we gather them, we could potentially reconstruct the whole creature. But only if the soul is strong enough.”

Aether grew more interested, stepping around the odd monument. The top and lower parts really did look as if they had been cut off by something sharp, ”Hmm... so you’re saying there might be more of these parts hidden all over our Empire?”

Starla nodded, ”Possible. Some could be buried deeper. Some might have been taken by others. It will take time to find them all.”

Aether hummed... He leaned closer to the structure, his fingers hesitantly reaching out. As he touched the ghostly, half-transparent form of the weird shape—

!~Ding~!

Instantly, Aether’s consciousness vanished, his mind yanked into a vision.

”GET READY, MY PEOPLE! THIS IS THE END FOR THE ORIGINS AND OUR CREATORS!!!”

A loud, emotionless, vibrating voice echoed through a dark, mountain-filled horizon—a world split by rivers of volcanic fire, with black coco lava spilling in every direction.

”WRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

Millions of dragons and phoenixes screamed in unison, their roars rising like a tidal wave across the world before everything was consumed by darkness.

”Huff!” Aether snapped back, gasping as his eyes blinked in shock. He looked up at the structure, unable to shake the sound or words from his mind. He didn’t see the speaker, but... judging by the sheer scale and fury, it was definitely someone—or something—from the ancient times.

His tone suddenly turned serious. ”Okay, fine... search everywhere, darling. I give you permission. Put this thing together, and... when it’s whole, I need to see it for myself.”

Nyx, who was crouching with her embarrassed face buried in her hands, blinked up at him in confusion, ”What do you mean?”

Aether answered softly, ”I mean... even if you stumbled upon it just by coincidence... I am in no position to believe it was merely a chance. Maybe... you coming here was meant to be, Nyx.” He stared at the structure, his eyes narrowing with a knowing glint. ”Take Raven and Thalia with you, and hunt down its remaining parts.”

Nyx noticed the shift in his voice. She nodded her head.

Aether tilted his head, lips curling into a smirk, ”Still though... It’s a dick.”

Nyx’s lips twitched. She shook her head, exasperated, but every time he said that word, her eyes betrayed her.... always sneaking a glance toward his crotch. Gods, was she actually getting aroused by his shamelessness?

She was supposed to be the dignified Queen here!

Starla levelled Aether with a deadpan stare, ”My Lord, you are embarrassing our Queen with your words... Please—correct yourself before I lose all respect for your title.”

”Come on, Starla. Be honest. No matter how anyone looks at it... it’s a freakishly huge dick!” Aether shot back.

Starla stared at him in pure, shocked disbelief. Her voice was flat, incredulous, ”I cannot believe you are not taking this seriously... Our Queen went through so much, and you—”

Aether’s eyes glinted slyly, his grin wicked. ”Well, if you’re so offended, maybe I should just prove my point.” His fingers drifted deliberately toward his waistband, a devilish spark in his gaze.

Starla’s eyes nearly popped out of her head. ”S-STOP, MY LORD! What are you doing in front of our Queen?!” she yelped, her voice rising higher with panic, a flush creeping up her neck.

Was he really about to expose himself in front of everyone?

Aether snickered, shrugging as if he was far too amused, ”Relax. I’m just kidding... Unless you really want to see, Starla~”

He turned, laughter in his eyes, and gave the weird-shaped structure a mock salute. ”Okay, Mr. Dick, I’ll see you when you’re fully assembled and ready to make your grand entrance.”

Then, without warning, he swept Nyx into his arms, carrying her like a princess, one hand slipping mischievously low as he walked away with a smug, self-satisfied smile.

Starla stared after him, her mind reeling.

Did he just... did he just tease her?

Why would he humiliate her like that, right in front of their Queen?

Her heart was pounding as if she’d survived a dragon attack.

She pressed a palm to her forehead and groaned, ”Sigh... How does my Queen put up with that man’s antics?” she muttered, shaking her head in disbelief.

Nyx, meanwhile, curled in Aether’s arms, wore a puzzled expression. ”Why did you tease her like that? Look, you absolutely shocked her senseless! Now she’s disgusted with you!” she hissed in a low whisper.

Aether just shrugged, his eyes sly and full of mischief. ”I just wanted to have some fun after she kept insisting it wasn’t what it looked like. But you saw it, right? Even her Queen instantly caught my meaning...” He glanced at Nyx, grinning wickedly. ”You noticed it too, didn’t you?”

Nyx’s face turned crimson, a deep, embarrassed flush spreading to her ears.

She had never thought any part of the body was ugly or shameful.... everything was natural to her. But the moment Aether made that comment, and the moment she saw the ”neck” through his eyes... she realised she could never see that part the same way again.

And all because of this infuriating, teasing, perverted bastard!

”Y-you really are a shameless pervert!!” she stammered, cheeks burning, as she smacked his chest with her small fist.

Aether leaned in, haughty and playful, ”Oh dear~ I’m far more perverted than you think. Maybe one day, I’ll show you just how creative I can be.” He nuzzled her nose, his hand squeezing her ass even tighter.

Soon, they reached back to the room. As the door closed behind them, Aether turned to Nyx, who was standing before him like prey frozen in front of a predator.

Without a word, Aether stripped off his clothes, leaving only his underwear.

Nyx’s eyes widened, and she paused, lips parting when she caught sight of the hungry bulge pressing against the thin fabric of his underwear. Her gaze lingered there, her cheeks flushing, every nerve ending tingling under his gaze. He caught her looking, his lips curling into a sly, predatory smirk. ”Come on~”

Nyx hesitated, biting her lower lip, her toes curling into the floor. She looked almost overwhelmed by his hunger—just as he was about to pounce on her, she blurted out, ”W-wait... I need to use the bathroom first!”

Aether blinked, thrown off, caught between amusement and frustration. ”Why now?” he said.

Nyx didn’t answer, only darted into the bathroom with her heart pounding, closing the door with a soft click. Aether blinked again, then let out a slow, ragged sigh and flopped onto the bed, arms splayed, his body humming with impatience as the soft sound of running water echoed from the other side of the door.

His mind wandered as he waited, ”Since Blooddawn is gone now, does that mean she won’t turn into a skeleton anymore?” he muttered, frowning at the ceiling.

He needed to ask—was staying away from Blooddawn really safe? So far, nothing seemed to have happened to either Nightfire or Nyx.

But was that good, or just the calm before something darker?

”If it was really that easy, Nyx would have left the Void Empire and just lived somewhere else, right?” he murmured. He nodded to himself, deep in thought. But then the bathroom door swung open, and his thoughts vanished in an instant.

Nyx stepped out... Naked, flushed, her skin gleaming wet and fresh from the shower, she looked like some forbidden goddess.

Drops of water traced paths down her long, smooth legs and slid over her hips, clinging to her curves. Her breasts, full and high, glistened, beads of moisture trickling down to her taut stomach and the deep hollow of her navel. Her nipples, rosy and tight, stood out with the chill of the air.

Her ass, round and perfectly shaped, gleamed with every step she took. Water traced the curve of her back, running over the swell of her hips before dripping down her thighs, leaving her skin slick and glowing. Her hair, wild and damp, stuck to the arch of her back and the line of her jaw, making her look both innocent and impossibly erotic.

Aether’s throat tightened, transfixed by every line of her body, every bounce and sway as she moved. Why did she look so impossibly sexy right now?

When she opened the door, a wild, rich scent filled the air—warm, sharp, and sweet, almost animal, mixing with her usual ash-like aura.

Nyx’s cheeks were a deep, burning red, and she walked slowly, almost nervously, toward the bed, her hips swaying, her thighs brushing together. Water ran down her inner legs, leaving glistening streaks, making each motion even hotter.

Aether silently begged her to jump into his arms, to let him devour her. But instead, she crossed the room to the drawer and picked up a piece of cloth.

He watched, groaning in frustration, half-joking, half in real need, ”Do you even need to wear clothes? It’s not going to last more than a minute!” His voice was hoarse, laced with pure impatience and desire.

However—

When she turned and showed him the ”clothes”

Aether’s mouth went dry. He stared, pulse pounding, realising that if she put that on, it would only make her look even more naked, more tempting!

”Y-yeah... take your time,” he managed to stammer.

Nyx wanted to dig a hole and hide her face. Even though she was the one who’d gotten every detail from Nightfire for this moment, now she felt naked in more ways than one.

While this hot, tense, teasing atmosphere unfolded inside, far above them in the sky, the golden shimmering letters that had been unchanged for days, shifted for the first time...

Ssshhh~
