EP.68 The Third Dragon Heart (2) 

Yuno began by slowly injecting a bit of his mana into Miri and first assessed her condition. 

'Huh! I can feel a mass of yin energy inside... It's much bigger than my own mana amount!' 

Even though it was only a fragment, Yuno's mana having absorbed two dragon hearts was much greater in quantity than his master Catherine's, so he was surprised by the scale of Miri's yin energy. 

'Bit by bit... I'll draw it out very slowly, neutralize it with my mana, and store it in my body...' 

Yuno's mana, carrying a hot energy, penetrated deep into Miri, gently stimulating her yin energy. 

In response, Miri's yin energy began to be drawn out little by little by Yuno's mana, and as it entered Yuno's body, it reacted with his hot mana, neutralizing and accumulating inside him. 

'Good! It's going as expected... I only had theory, but I wasn't sure it would work I'm glad.' 

Yuno breathed a sigh of relief and continued to slowly purify and absorb Miri's yin energy into himself. 

Meanwhile, as Yuno was working to absorb Miri's yin energy, Kurimu, Miruku, and Yuno's women gathered around him after retrieving the World Tree's seed, chatting together. 

"Um... Your Majesty, is it really okay for the Luana clan chief to lead the troops like that?" 

Seeing the elf spirit archers and royal guard withdrawing from the battlefield after cleaning up, without Kurimu's command, Eliza asked, and Kurimu smiled gently. 

"Yes, it's fine. I'm planning to retire anyway." 

"What?" 

Everyone, including Miruku, was shocked to hear the elf queen was retiring. 

"But... Your Majesty, why...?" 

"Is it because you feel responsible for the World Tree? But the World Tree is ready to be reborn from this seed!" 

"Mother? What will we do if you retire? I was going to give up my heir position, too!" 

"Wait, Princess, why would you give up your position?!" 

In the midst of this chaos, Kurimu put her finger to her lips to quiet everyone, then spoke again. 

"Actually... I received a serious wound during the battle with the dragon just now... I'm no longer a master, so it's difficult for me to serve as a leader who needs martial strength. That's why I told the Luana chief and asked her to take my place." 

Kurimu then spread her large breasts to reveal a wound near her heart. 

Her breasts were so large that the wound had been hidden until now. Though the bleeding had stopped, it looked quite deep and painful, making the women frown. 

"Ah! Is that from back then?" 

Marie recalled blocking the dragon's tail strike, and Kurimu nodded. 

"Yes. I couldn't block a piece of rock that struck my mana core in front of my heart. Thanks to the mana core, my heart was protected, so in a way, I was lucky. Hehe." 

"But you still fought with sword energy after that!" 

"I just gathered all my mana to fight since it was leaking from my mana core. Now that it's all used up, I won't be able to produce sword energy again." 

"S-sorry, Your Majesty... I should have protected you better... hng..." 

As Marie began to cry, Kurimu hugged her and patted her back. 

"It's not your fault, Marie. If not for you, I'd have lost my life. Honestly, I'm relieved to be free of the burden." 

"Um... if it's okay, may I take a look at your wound?" 

"Your Majesty?" 

As Yuria approached Kurimu with a green light in her hand, everyone looked puzzled. 

"Mom? What's that in your hand?" 

"Earlier, the World Tree possessed me and had sex with Yuno. Afterward, I think some of the World Tree's energy remained with me. And..." 

Yuria brought the green light in her hand to Kurimu's wound. 

Kurimu's wound quickly healed, and within seconds her skin was smooth as if nothing had happened. 

"How do you feel, Kurimu? Does it hurt anymore?" 

"Oh my! The World Tree's energy has passed to Her Majesty the Empress!!" 

"Hehe. Rather than to me, I think it's a trace left as it passed to my son. Still, I'm glad I could help. Though I don't think the mana core is fully healed... Should I try again?" 

Kurimu shook her head at Yuria's offer. 

"No, it's fine. I'm planning to find a new life beyond being the elf queen. I'm no longer a master, but I still have the strength of a mid-level spirit user, so that's enough to protect myself. Hoho." 

Kurimu gave Yuno a mysterious smile, and a wary look appeared on Yuria's face. 

'No way... surely not? Even if the esteemed elf queen is retired... she wouldn't want to sleep with Yuno knowing what goes on with us...' 

"But... why are you giving up your heir position, daughter? Even if I passed the throne to the Luana chief, you could still compete for the next queen, you know?" 

"Hehe, actually, I was thinking the same as Mom... How about it, Mom? Shall we do it together as mother and daughter?" 

"Oh my~ I'd love that~ If I could be with my beloved daughter, nothing would make me happier." 

Kurimu and Miruku began to look at Yuno with mysterious eyes, and as Yuria and the other five women began to feel wary, a brilliant light suddenly burst from Yuno. 

"W-what is this?" 

"Yuno!" 

As the light faded, Yuno appeared surrounded by a pink mist, his body radiating heat and his skin cracking. 

"Grrr... That kid is amazing, to really absorb all the yin energy from my body." 

"Um... Miri, are you okay?" 

"Call me Miri. I don't like being called 'dragon' by my benefactor's family." 

"Yes, Miri. But what's happening right now?" 

Though she still had a tail, Miri now looked like a small girl, so the women could speak to her easily. 

"That kid absorbed all the impure yin energy from my body. Looks like he used it to take another step forward. He's really something." 

Everyone focused on Yuno's condition at Miri's words. 

'If he took another step... he's already at my level... Whew~ What an amazing disciple I have...' 

'Yuno... you don't have to get any stronger, just be safe...' 

'Oppa... hurry and wake up so you can hold Marie... I'm an adult now... okay?' 

Perhaps their prayers reached him, for the light Yuno was emitting gradually faded, and his figure became visible. 

As his body transformation ended, his cracked skin flaked away in the wind, revealing smooth skin, slightly slimmer but with even more compact, powerful muscles, and a much larger, glowing red penis, making the women blush as they admired him. 

Finally, as Yuno rose, they all rushed to him. 

"Yuno, how do you feel?" 

"Are you okay? Nothing hurts?" 

"Let's go home, Oppa. Tonight, you're mine. Marie is yours." 

"As if! Tonight, Yuno's sleeping with me!" 

Everyone crowded around Yuno, but he kept his eyes closed and didn't react. 

"Yuno?" 

When Yuria lifted his head, Yuno's eyes opened, glowing red, and a beastly growl escaped his lips. 

"Grrrrr..." 

"Uh... Yuno?" 

"Uwooooo!!" 

Yuno let out a huge roar to the sky, tore off Yuria's clothes, and pounced on her. 

"Hnnngh, Yuno... s-slowly! Mom's not going anywhere~ haaaang!!" 

Yuria gently guided the now animalistic Yuno, starting sex, and signaled to Eliza and Catherine, who were staring blankly. 

Understanding Yuria's signal, Eliza and Catherine snapped out of it and rushed to Miri. 

"M-Miri! What’s happening?!" 

"Ah... It seems the impurity in my yin energy caused a problem during storage...” 

"Is there any way to fix it?" 

"I could reabsorb it, but that would just repeat the same problem... Let's wait a bit." 

Miri placed her hand on Yuno's back as he thrust into Yuria, checking his condition. 

"Haha, it doesn't seem too serious. The impurity in the yin energy invaded his brain, so he lost his reason for a bit. As he continues having sex, the impurity will be released and he'll naturally return to normal." 

At the mention of purging impurity through sex, all the women except Yuria who was busy taking Yuno's cock blushed. 

"Um... so how long will it take?" 

"Let’s see... Don't worry, everyone. If you keep having sex for about three years, it should be resolved." 

"Three years??" 

All the women were shocked at Miri's words, but she just blinked as if it was nothing special.
