36 The Dangers of Entering A Dungeon.

"Hello Bekka, I'm glad to see you're awake." Yara said with a grin. "Must've been quite the workout, huh?"

Bekka's was briefly confused before her eyes glazed over as she remembered last nights events. "The best…"

Yara looked at her son proudly before she began to laugh. "Fufufu, you're your father's son alright! I remember that look vividly! One time we were on a beach in the vampire continent and- "

"Okay! Well we gotta go now." Exedra said as he hurriedly took Bekka's hand and began to lead her out of the castle.

In his time here, he had learned to actually see Yara as his mother. 

Which meant that hearing stories about how he was created were a definite no no.

Bekka and Exedra hurriedly said their goodbyes before immediately departing from the castle.

The dungeon was about 40 minutes away by carriage, so with that knowledge in mind the pair decided to fly as a way to save time.

Sprouting his four large wings, Exedra took his loving wife into his arms and shot into the sky like a rocket.

Evidently, flying for him felt as natural as walking around and he marveled at being able to see the world from below like this. 

Of all of the things that he loved most about his new life and body, this was undoubtedly one of his favorites.

"Hey, I've been meaning to ask but aren't you more handsome today?"

"Excuse me?" Exedra was so surprised he nearly came to a dead standstill in the sky.

"I didn't notice when you woke us up because I was so tired, but when I saw you again later I was so surprised that I would've jumped on you if you were alone." She said hungrily.

'Is she just acting like this because she likes having sex with me?'

Not understanding where this was coming from, Exedra just decided to chalk it up to her lingering excitement over last night.

He had enjoyed himself too, but he had to focus on the dungeon right now.

"Come on, my love. We have to conquer the dungeon today." He said firmly.

However, Bekka was having none of it.

"Then I should make sure you finish quickly, right?" 

The hellhound buried her face in her husband's neck and licked him seductively all the way up to his ear.

And so, the trip that should've taken them 30 minutes, took an hour instead.

With Bekka taking all of the blame squarely upon herself.

-

The Dungeon of Black Winter was located at the foot of a large mountain to the west of the castle.

Seated comfortably within a large forest, the opening looked like a large cavern with a glowing black portal at the entrance.

Currently, their was no one around except for a few guards who were assigned to keep out certain unsavory visitors.

The guards were making idle chitchat and gambling while they were on duty.

This was a medium difficulty dungeon and barely anyone in Antares comes here so they were able to do things like this easily.

A party of about sixty entered earlier, and there was a betting pool over how many of the members would come out alive.

"Those bastards were way too cocky! I'll bet two hundred and fifty gold only ten come out alive!"

"Ten? My, aren't we feeling generous today."

"I bet that hot girl used half of those guys as a meat shield."

"I'd let her use me too."

"This is why you're fucking single. Women can smell that desperation on you."

"Yep."

"He's right, Ko."

"Fuck you guys, what do you know anyway!"

The group of guards all looked at each other and wondered if they should point out that they all had at least one wife, but seeing that their friend was getting upset, they elected not to comment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, six flashes of blue light appeared and when they vanished a person took its place.

There were five men and one woman.

All appeared to be humans with badly damaged armor and various injuries.

While nothing appeared to be life threatening, their were numerous cuts and bruises on each of them.

"Ha! I bet six or less! Pay up fuckers!"

"God damn it!"

"Lucky son of a bitch!"

"Shit, I'll be eating bread for the rest of the month…"

The adventurers who'd just come out naturally weren't paying much attention to the gambling of the guards behind them and were instead focusing on their own internal struggles.

" Damn it Maki! What was the point of bringing a god damn dual element mage if all you were going to do was be fucking useless!"

"Hey! She tried her best alright!"

"You shut the fuck up Jackson! All she's good for was a mediocre fuck and keeping a few low level ice wolves away! What good is that if an eight foot yeti comes to stomp our skulls in!? We lost over fifty men!"

"I'm getting real sick of you talking about her like that!"

"Yea! I tried my best alright! They had artifacts that weakened my light and fire element so I couldn't heal you guys or use any real firepower!" The young blond haired woman with bright green eyes finally spoke up to defend herself.

The one who seemed to be the leader of the group, a man known as Sekkar didn't respond to Maki and instead looked at the young man fiercely defending her.

"Oi. Get a fucking grip. You think you're the only one in the guild she's sucking off?"

The other two men, who had been watching all of this with disinterested faces, suddenly started looking around as if they found all of the surrounding trees and dirt very interesting.

"W-what do you mean?" The young man named Jackson asked warily.

He was undoubtedly the youngest in the troop and the least talented, but he was smart and came from a prominent family in the human continent.

"J-Jackson don't listen to him he's lying!"

Maki was visibly sweating now.

Of course as a rare dual element mage she had a lot of influence and connections but there were certain things she could only gain by marrying into a big family.

Jackson was the perfect solution to her problems.

He was well mannered so he wasn't overly forceful and could be manipulated easily.

He also wasn't her type at all so she was free of any sort of emotional attachment to him.

"Oh? Then I shouldn't know about those three moles on your left butt cheek should I?"

Jackson's face immediately darkened.

"You.. you've seen her naked?"

"Me and half the guild 'Prince Charming'." Sekar sneered.

"J-Jackson I-" Maki stammered.

She had to save this operation no matter what!

This was her true ticket into high society!

Jackson didn't even look at Maki and instead turned towards the other two injured guys who had yet to say anything.

"Tristan? Cahal?"

They both looked at eachother briefly before they turned towards him and nodded slightly.

Jackson said nothing and instead stood up and winced in pain before he began hobbling away.

"Jackson I can explain!" Maki scrambled to get up and began to follow him but Jackson raised a single hand to stop her.

"I can't believe I ever loved someone like you." His tone was incredibly cold and full of malice.

"I knew it, I should've proposed to Isabelle instead. I just hope it isn't too late." He muttered the last part before he once again hobbled away.

"I-Isabelle? That slutty bar owner?! I'm leagues better than her!"

POW!

Jackson finally struck Maki with a blow to the face that sent her tumbling back to the ground. "Keep her name out of your filthy mouth."

Jackson began to kick and throw punches at the woman, incredibly infuriated that she had the nerve to call someone else a slut.

Interestingly enough, the guards were not paying any attention to this scene, symbolizing that they were actually quite used to dramatic scenes like this.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, everyone present witnessed the sight of a man with four black wings on his back descending from the sky with a woman in his arms.

They landed directly in between the guards and the battered adventurers.

The woman hoped out of the man's arms and stretched her body "Ah, we finally made it!"

"Would've taken less time if we didn't take that little detour, my love."

The woman hearing this smiled brightly before she seductively walked towards the man with her tail wagging in the air.

"Oh? Did my husband not enjoy our detour? You certainly sounded like you did."

Instead of answering the man wrapped his arm around the woman and pulled her close. "Of course I did." He said before he delivered her a passionate kiss that lasted a few seconds.

The pair were naturally, Bekka and Exedra.

The two had finally arrived at their destination after a rather explicit detour and immediately began to feed the people around them dog food.

Everyone seeing this was naturally stunned.

Who were these guys?

The man was obviously a dragon but why was he so damn handsome?

Who is this strange beastkin woman? She's beautiful but I've never seen a race like hers before!

The reactions of all of the men present ranged from jealousy over Exedra's looks and the woman in his arms to questioning their own sexuality.

Only the young blond haired woman Mika saw Exedra and immediately concocted a plan.
