“I guess we’ve earned that bath now,” Vanra joked. He ran his fingers through Kitaro’s long hair.
Kitaro loved being petted by the human. “It is your fault for being entirely too tempting.” He teasingly nipped at Vanra with his fangs, smirking at the human’s desire spiking once more. He drowned in the scent of Vanra’s arousal surrounding them. His cock stirred in response to the enticing fragrance.
“If you keep that up, we’ll never make it to the bath,” Vanra playfully warned.
Kitaro picked Vanra up in a cradle hold. “I believe we can do both.” He delighted in Vanra’s laughter as he carried him to their bathroom to continue the fun.
Chapter 58
Auslin
After a late lunch the next day, Auslin and Kitaro headed to the training hall to train with the new sword. While Auslin was excited, using a real Divine weapon against Kitaro made him nervous. “You’re not going to make me use this against you, are you?”
“Why are you concerned? You are more than capable of healing any damage that sword might do to me,” Kitaro reminded him.
He was right, but Auslin still didn’t care for the possibility of injuring the dragon prince. “Hurting you would be too upsetting.”
“You can rest easy. We will only use dummies today.” Kitaro summoned a group of ten floating bunny dummies, which were spread out in a wide semicircle. “See if you can take them out in one hit.”
“All of them at once?” It was more than Auslin had ever destroyed with a single hit.
Kitaro nodded. “With that weapon enhancing your abilities, it should be an easy feat for you now.”
Auslin remained skeptical, but he channeled his powers into the sword Tatsuki had gifted him the previous night. The blade flared to life, engulfed in purple flames, with the blue-and-purple etchings glowing brightly. It was as beautiful as it was deadly.
He took a deep breath as he focused on the floating dummies. When he was ready, Auslin swung the sword in front of him in an arc, casting his purification powers out in a wide burst. Not only did the ten dummies vaporize, but he also blew a crater into the far wall across from him.
Auslin stared in disbelief at the structural damage he had caused. “What the—how?” He ran his fingers through his hair in shock. “How did my purifying powers damage a wall like that?”
“Because the walls are enchanted with dragon magic, which crumbled under your purifying powers,” Kitaro explained. He seemed impressed by the demonstration. “That was excellent, Vanra.”
“I killed the wall!” Auslin protested as he gestured at it in shock. “How is that excellent? Your father will be livid with me!”
Kitaro shook his head. “My father will be far more impressed with your abilities than concerned about the damage that is easily fixed.”
“How is that easily fixed?”
“Like this,” Jaega said as he entered the room. He waved his hand, using his magic to return the wall to normal. It now looked as if nothing had happened. “You are far from the first to blow a hole in a wall in this training hall. You most certainly will not be the last.”
“Uncle Jaega!” Auslin turned to face the shifter general, who thankfully seemed amused about the incident. That was a relief.
“How many times do you think I sent Mitsuki through that wall?” Jaega jovially asked Kitaro with a wicked grin.
“As stubborn as he is, I would venture to say no less than a thousand times, surely.”
Jaega chuckled. “At least that much, the hardheaded fool. And yet, it was somehow satisfying every time I sent him sailing through it.”
Auslin exhaled a sigh of relief. He hated being in trouble.
“It is a strong start,” Jaega complimented. “Kizoshi has outdone herself, as per usual.”
The comment made Kitaro laugh. “You know she never settles for anything less than the best.”
Jaega gestured for the sword. “May I please see it?”
“Of course.” Auslin sheathed the weapon before handing it to him.
The shifter general inspected the scabbard beforepulling out the sword. He nodded to himself as he studied the blade. “This is indeed a formidable weapon, even by normal Divine standards. Fersen was wise to enchant the sheath.”
