89 Chapter 79: The newly acquired tool
At some distances away from where the other two were laid the hybrid half naked on the ground, his black pants lowered past his thigh while his arms neatly placed under his head.
「Tired, Ryan?」smiled Kibadios, his eyes fixated on the handsome naked hero who tried his best to move up and down on the hybrid's thick erected cock in a cowgirl position. Having been doing this for almost an hour, both fatigue and the continuous extreme pleasure had finally worn out the teenager. Before he could answer, Ryan slowly leaned his body down against Kibadios' broad chest and rested his head on his master's collar bone. 「... I'm sorry, Master. I think I've reached my limit.」
「Is that so? Then I guess it's my turn!」The hybrid quickly sprung forth to a sitting upright position. The abrupt movement from Kibadios cause his cock to twitch hard inside the tightly squeezed asshole of his hero-slave, sending another waves of pleasure straight to the teenager's brain, causing him to grind his teeth loudly while his arms wrapped tightly around his master's neck and his two feet curled up in ecstasy. 「Haaa…」Ryan moaned, though it was quickly muffled with a sudden kiss from his master. Their tongues wrestled with one another, thoroughly mixing up their saliva before Kibadios decided to move his hungry mouth downward and stopped at his slave's perked up nipples. 「Itadakimasu!」 Declared the hybrid before unilaterally sinking his teeth into the hero's firm flesh, biting and sucking on one of the hero's nipples while his lower half started to thrust hard inside the teenager's twitching hole. The hybrid continued to play with his property for another half an hour before finally releasing his cumshot inside Ryan for the third time of the night. Yet, by then, the hero had fallen half unconscious from exhaustion, preventing him from experiencing the joy of receiving yet another load of his master's fluid…

「Kibadios sama!」Haden knelt down solemnly in front of the hybrid, who had just walked back to the firepit once the sun had again risen, signifying the start of a new day.
「Huh?」The hybrid raised his eyebrows.「Do you know what's going on with him?」Kibadios pointed at the former adventurer while looking at Reuk.
「Last night, Reuk dono told me everything about you, Kibadios sama… no… Zaeryn sama.」
The hybrid leered down at the kneeling man. Though this development was not out of his expectation.
「Did he? What a blabbering mouth idiot.」Kibadios turned to Reuk.「Why would you tell him that? Now that he knows who I used to be and my plan, I'd have to eliminate him right here, right now!」Without warning, the hybrid conjured up his scythe then swiftly swung it, aiming straight at the man's exposed throat.
「Stop it, Kibadios!」Expected what the hybrid would do, Reuk quickly shot an arrow at the scythe's blade, parried it out of the way.「Shouldn't you at least wait to hear what he has to say?」
「...」Kibadios studied the man, who despite his attack, had not moved an inch from where he knelt. His wide open and determined eyes still looked up to the hybrid without blinking once. 「So, any last words?」
「...I know I may be an incapable human who would not be worth your time, Zaeryn sama… But if you allow, please let me stay by your side as your uttermost devotee.」The man prostrated down on the ground.「I'd like to serve you with my strength, to act as your disposable tool in your quest to fight against the Astrals to protect the future of this world.」
「 "Protect the future of this world"?」The hybrid could not contain his amusement. 「That is what you think I'm doing? Don't make me laugh! I'm a selfish bastard and not that noble of a man that you think I am. My one and only goal is to bring down the Astrals, to inflict them with all the pain and agony that they have caused me. I care not about "the future of this world." It's true that this world would probably be able to break free from the eternal cycle of destruction and regeneration once I'm done dealing with the Astrals, but don't mistake it to be my primary goal.」
「Even so, it does not matter, Zaeryn sama. Once I have learned the truth of this world from Reuk dono and of what you're trying to do, I've decided to dedicate my life, the very second life that you and Reuk dono had granted me, to your cause.」Haden continued.「You and Reuk dono have told me to continue on living, to find a new purpose in life so now I have. I wish to be standing by your side, to face the despicable Astrals and make them atone for all the sins that they have committed…」
… So this really is the choice that Haden had chosen, even after I told him about Kibadios' "Rumbling" plan that would see the majority of the population perish… Reuk thought to herself …It's really not just me, then. Kibadios, just who are you? Your most impressive power is not that of your control over HaoS, or your magic prowess, or your critical thinking skill. Ever since your first reincarnation, the power that helped you throughout your journeys and in the end, the very power that rattled the Astrals, was in fact, your strange and unexplainable "charisma." You're not a main character in a shounen manga, who makes friends and allies using talk no jutsu, sprouting inspiring concepts like hope, dreams, and justice… And worse, in this current reincarnation, if anything, you're like a villain who keeps fixating on vengeance and destruction. Yet, time and time again, people still flock to you, regardless of whether you walked the righteous path like you once did during your first reincarnation or if you're descending toward death and destruction as you are in this lifetime… Even the innocent Ryan, who once could only think about helping others, is now blindly following your orders. Even I… I know that it's not your <Hypnosis> skill… But, then, just what is it that caused people to follow you? … Just what are you, Kibadios?
「How much of an idiot are you?」Kibadios grabbed the back of Haden's short hair.「You have just broken free from the controlling yolk of one person and yet, you immediately pledge your life to another?」
「Unlike what happened with that filthy monk, this time, I voluntarily make my decision to follow you, Kibadios sama!」
「Is that so? What if I order you to let me fuck you like a piece of onahole like what Desmond did to you, huh?」The hybrid tested the man.
「... I…I…」Haden was suddenly struck with fear as his heart started racing while his body trembled uncontrollably. Flashes of unsavory memories replayed in his head, causing him to be unable to speak for a few seconds. 「If… if that's what it takes for me to follow and serve you, I would be willing!」Despite a brief moment of fear and hesitation, the man quickly made up his mind.
「... You probably have a few screws loose in your head…」Kibadios was surprised at Haden's newly found determined look.「Fine, whatever, do as you wish!」He sighed.「Since you're the blabbering idiot that roped him into this, he'll be your responsibility, Reuk.」
「My responsibility? What are you talking about?」
「I mean that if he ever screws up… if he ever somehow betrays me, I'll take it out on you.」
「What? Why would you!」
「It's your fault for explaining everything to him.」The hybrid rolled his eyes. 「What were your name again?」
「Haden, Kibadios sama.」answered the man.
「Fine, Haden. There's no walking back on your words, do you understand? From now on, your life belongs to me. You will act as I command. You will fight as I wish. And only in death would your duty end!」
「Of course, Kibadios sama!!」acknowledged Haden.
「... And don't worry about me fucking you. It's no fun playing with someone having PTSD like yourself. Besides, I've already had my toys to play with.」Kibadios' hand quickly reached out and grabbed Ryan's ass before giving it a slight squeeze.「Anyways, I'll go hunt something for breakfast. Go and start a small fire in the meanwhile.」
「Yes, Kibadios sama.」
「Hmm… Not going to traumatize someone who's already had PTSD, huh? I stand corrected, then. Maybe he does care for others, even if it's just a little bit. I guess even though your master is mostly an ass, times like these, when he gets soft, do make him tolerable… Well, dare I say, likable.」Reuk walked next to Ryan. 「I wonder if Tsundere is a correct word to describe him.」
「That's just how master is!」smiled the hero.
「Yo, Ryan, what are you doing? Come with me!」
「Yes, master! I'm sorry!」The teenager hurriedly ran to the hybrid's side.「By the way, are we going back to Fyeran's capital?」
「... You guys are.」answered Kibadios.
「Huh? What about you?」
「I have something else I have to do.」
「Are you trying to look for Rowan chan? If so, I'd join you!」
「No, I have my familiars looking for him. There's no point for me to. It's just that there's someone I need to see.」
「Who?」
「My star pupil, of course!」

The long forgotten lake, tugged deep inside the dense forest of the Fyeran, appeared strangely serene under the thin veil of moonlight. The beautiful scenery even captured the hybrid's attention the moment he had just made it to the location. After studying the place again for a few minutes, Kibadios lowered his hand down to make contact with the lake's surface. The last time when he was at the lake, he could feel a strange presence emitting from deep under the body of water and now, once again, he could feel it. This time, its presence was much clearer.
「There's something at the bottom of this lake! Is this what Matelus referred to when he said "Ruin under the lake"?」Kibadios recalled the cryptic message his pupil left him with.「Fine then, I'll see it for myself.」The hybrid did a quick stretch before diving straight into the lake, which turned out to be much deeper than he had expected. It took him a full four minutes to finally reach the bottom. He had expected to be completely submerged in darkness, for he knew the weak moonlight would not be able to penetrate this deep into the lake. Yet, in front of his eyes stood a large entrance protruded from the ground, with two large stones radiating a dim and strangely warm green light as if it was welcoming him to its lair.
… What is this structure? Kibadios studied the complex ancient symbols decorating the gate. To his surprise, his mind seemed to have recognized the symbols' familiarity but for the life of him, he could not recall where he had seen them before. Using all his strength, the hybrid tried to push against the gate. He had expected the other side of the gate to be filled with the lake water, yet, once the gate started to open, he could see the space behind it was completely dry, filled with flickering lights emitting from the burning torches. How?
The hybrid slowly made his way inside the structure, only to realize that the reason water did not fill up the place despite it being submerged under the lake was because of the thin layer of barrier that was cast at the entrance, separating the body of water from its interior.
「... This place… is ancient.」Kibadios looked around at the intricate carvings on the wall as he walked deeper into the corridor. 「Why does this feel so familiar to me?」
It did not take long before the corridor ended, leading the hybrid to a small atrium that was lit up with a large skylight. Its unique designs were similar to the one that Kibadios had seen back in the realm of the Astrals. 「This place belongs to those fuckers?」The hybrid asked himself before he noticed a statue erected in the middle of the place. The statue depicted a sternly looking man cladded in well crafted armor, his left hand held onto a large two bladed sword. Despite the residue preservation spell that the hybrid could detect, the statue was already partially broken down, yet, Kibadios could still recognize the man's face.
「Isn't that the man in my dream」The hybrid noted before turning to the left of the statue. There laid another circular base, much similar to the one which the current statue stood on. However, on this base, there stood nothing. Upon careful observation, Kibadios could tell there used to be another statue erected there; however, for some reason, it was probably shattered, leaving only a small trace of footprint behind. Kibadios knelt down the moment he noticed something being inscribed on the side of the base.
「These writings… They are written in the latin alphabets?」The hybrid easily recognized the once familiar writing system that he had used back on Earth. 「"...Tell us why, given Life, we are meant to die, helpless in our cries?" Isn't this…」
「Yes, that lament was carved there by an isekaied weeb much like yourself, Shisou. Or maybe he's just an avid gamer, who knows.」A familiar voice spoke up from behind the hybrid.「I've been waiting for you since forever, but if you're here, I guess things have finally settled down in the forest, haven't they? Now is a good time for us to talk without interruption.」
「Matelus… What is this place?」Kibadios warily looked at his pupil. Standing next to him was the same mysterious girl who created the rift in the fabric of space itself. The ice-cold looking girl dressed in a white gothic style clothing, with their white hair being tied up into twintails that made her look rather cute. Yet, with just one glance, Kibadios could tell if he and the girl were to go head to head against one another, without the assistance of HaoS, victory would be beyond his grasp at his current power level.
「It used to be a place to worship two individuals. One whose existence has been completely erased…」The hybrid twitched slightly at the slight headache that jolted his entire body. <...After all, my existence would have been erased from the history of this world, so telling you who am I is meaningless.> What is this? He thought to himself as he recalled the faint memory from his fragmented dream.「... and the other is this man… or rather, this being. The very being that would bring the end time to this world had he awakened from his slumber.」
