Mana 6 Chapter 26 (Patreon)

“Master, it’s ready.” Phoebe rested against the entrance to the cavern where we had been playing. She looked slightly worn, but the sparkle in her eye indicated her excitement.

I looked up from The Game, stunned at the realization. “Let’s go then.”

Pulling on the rest of my wives, I called them into the shared soul space. If we could pull this off, it was a big deal for my family. I wanted everybody to be present.

Phoebe hurried ahead to the massive enchantment.

I was in awe as we walked up; it was the most complex enchantment I’d ever seen. It put the teleportation enchantment to shame.

“Do you have the organic material?” she asked me.

I nodded, pulling out numerous corpses that I had acquired over the past adventures, both mana beasts and human, and piled them up in the enchantment.

“You all aren't going to take these bodies’ forms, right?” I asked, suddenly terrified at the idea.

“No, we just need organic material to make our new bodies. We’ll be just like we are now when this is all done,” Phoebe encouraged me. “Though, we might not be able to take full mana beast forms anymore.” She tapped her lips in thought, but shrugged. They all rarely used them anymore.

Aurora came over and gave me a long, sloppy kiss. “I love you, Master. It is going to be so amazing once this is over.”

She patted my chest and flew over to her spot in the enchantment. There were six rings in total, and each resembled the same design on my chest.

Mei bounced over next; her excitement was bubbling out such that she could barely hold still. “Thank you, thank you, thank you! We are going to have the cutest little kits.”

Her fox tails brushed all over me in her excitement as she crushed herself to me before joining Aurora in the rings.

Quinn watched her with an amused face. “I feel like she cut me in line.”

“Order doesn’t matter—I love you all.” I grabbed Quinn by the horns and kissed her.

“Yes, I still remember when a young disciple came to my sect and started making a mess. But I’m glad that I took the chance I did. Never once have I regretted it.” She pecked me on the cheek before joining the others.

Lumi was next, walking right up to me and standing at attention. “Master, thank you for taking the time to comfort me, treat me right, and fold me into your family. Little did I know how much that would mean to me.”

We kissed, and she moved to her spot as well.

Phoebe gave me a silly smile as she grabbed both of my hands and stared into my eyes. “Never did I think that I’d have a second chance when I built that tome. Fate brought you to me, with the help of Xiaobai. This was meant to be. I didn’t know that at the start, but I truly believe it now.”

She kissed both of my hands and stepped back into her spot.

That only left Foo.

She looked a little awkward as she stepped up to me. “Look, I haven’t been here very long. But you’ve given me a home to guard again. Understanding that I died means that I failed the first time, and I refuse to fail now that I’ve been given a second chance.”

“Thank you.” I kissed her cheek. “It means a lot to me that you choose to join us for now. But when everything is done, feel free to make that decision with a clear head.”

Foo gave me a sharp nod.

I was starting to understand her more. She was driven by purpose, and her instincts gave a very sharp preference to her purpose. Foo wanted to be a guardian of the home and rear the young within it. It fit with what legends described, and if it remained true for her, I was happy to help her live that life.

I turned to the rest of my wives. They had all gathered behind us while we’d been preparing. They were soul projections, but I was still in my actual body. And that gave me access to my spatial ring.

Knowing the next step, I poured out a bunch of medicinal herbs that I’d gathered from the jungle and some extra items just in case the formation needed more.

“That’s plenty, Isaac,” Phoebe chuckled. “We are going to activate it, and it will draw from the soul space.” Phoebe turned to address the larger group. “Everyone, if you could cultivate to draw mana to this area, that would be helpful. I don’t think it’ll take that much.

I nodded and sat down at the edge, my hand on the formation as I nodded to my wives. “Begin restoring our mana.”

Pushing my intent into the enchantment, the thousands of precise lines lit up like a flame chasing a wick. First the flickers of light were red, then blues and violets followed. All the lights washed together into a bright white as mana poured into the enchantment. The mana required to start it was immense. I could feel the pull.

Opening my senses, I found that each of my wives was a conduit for mana, pouring it into the shared soul space as the enchantment activated. Mana continued flowing in, filling the enchantment and the surrounding space. I felt our soul space start to strain, pulling inward, filled with mana.”

“Phoebe?” I called out. I couldn’t see her through the blinding light.

“It’s fine. It’s pulling more than I was expecting, but keep going,” she shouted.

I could feel my mana beasts trying to pull mana from me, but my main body was in the soul space.

Following my instincts, I pushed myself out of my soul space and used my wives to reform back into the courtyard next to them. There, I began to cultivate once more, diving back into the shared soul space.

My soul body joined them again, watching as the enchantment flickered.

It was momentarily starved of mana; my shared soul space didn’t have enough for them. So I drew as much as I could through my body as my six mana beasts drew more mana as well.

I was aware that we had sixteen pseudo-seventh rank cultivators drawing mana from the world. I was sure the Yunpi family would have something to say about that, but this was worth it.

The enchantment flickered once again, but this time it flickered in stages, like it was becoming unbalanced.

“Phoebe?!” I shouted, but this time, there was no answer.

The enchantment continued to flicker strangely, and I grabbed my wives, pulling them away from the enchantment as it grew more and more unstable.

Something in the enchantment latched onto me, and I could feel a drain within my body. A little gold lightning bolt dragged its way out of me and shot towards the formation.

Unable to do much but watch, my eyes followed the lightning bolt as it neared the enchantment. When the two touched, everything went white as the formation exploded.

I shielded my face and focused on maintaining the soul space.

Luckily, the explosion wasn’t long. Dust covered the air, making it difficult to see much, but one of my wives cleared it away quickly.

We were once again able to see the enchantment.

Large cracks had broken it apart, and there were scorch marks in each of the six rings. What immediately caught my attention was the lack of my mana beasts anywhere to be seen. I looked around, but I couldn’t see or sense them.

“Phoebe?!” I shouted. “Aurora? Girls, this isn’t funny!”

But there was no answer.

Michelle grabbed me from behind and squeezed me tightly; she was afraid that she was about to lose me.

I cast my vision left and then right, looking everywhere, waiting for this to be some elaborate prank that Mei had cooked up.

“Husband, stop. Stop,” Michelle said.

I realized I was dragging her around as I tried to find them.

“Look up.”

I did so and saw that their soul palaces were gone. My heart ached, like someone had just stabbed me and ripped it open.

“They must be somewhere,” I replied, pushing my soul back into my body.

I jumped to my feet before rushing about the courtyard.

There on the lawn were my six mana beasts, in their usual forms, laying in a patch of burnt grass. Each of them was clothed in their normal garb; it was still made of mana. I hoped that meant that they were alive. After all, for them to be forming clothing with mana, meant that they were both sixth rank and still living.

But I needed to confirm it for myself.

I rushed to their bodies, scooping up Aurora and feeling for a pulse. Her heart beat steadily, and I laid her back down, pushing my forehead into hers. My own heart wouldn’t stop hammering in my chest. I had never been so scared before.

“Isaac, let's get them in bed,” Michelle sounded relieved.

“Yeah, I got them.” Jumping to my feet, I felt good doing something. I lifted them each with my domain, carrying them back into my home.

The Yunpi guards appeared just as I was settling them.

My wives shooed them out of the courtyard and dealt with them as I arranged my mana beasts on the bed and tried to curl myself around all six of them.

For the moment when I had thought they were lost, I had felt more pain than I could have ever imagined. I knew they were dear to me, but I hadn’t realized how little of a life I’d want without them.

“Uh,” Aurora groaned. “Master?” she called out without opening her eyes.

“I’m here, Aurora.”

“I can’t feel you,” she sounded panicked.

“I know. Our connection was severed.”

Her eyes shot open, and her groaning stopped. “Then we need to reform it. Now.” She said it with a sudden urgency.

I raised a brow in question at her.

“I feel so empty without my connection to you. I want it back,” she pleaded and crawled over Mei, who had also started groaning.

“Is it that important to you?” I asked. I knew they loved me all in their own ways, but with them being severed, they had a chance to be independent. While I’d missed the bond, I wanted them to have the choice that they hadn’t gotten before.

But part of me hated giving them the chance, fearing they would choose to go their own way.

Aurora grabbed my shoulders and rolled on top of me before kissing my neck. “Now that I’m real, I need to show you how much I love you. And I’ll be damned if you replace someone else in my ring.” She growled the last bit with more bite than I expected.

“That’s not how it works,” I groaned as her hand found my cock and she started rubbing it.

My emotions were tumbling over. A few moments ago, I’d worried I had lost them, and now Aurora was straddling me, wiggling back and forth.

“Master,” she panted, licking her lips while she maintained eye contact with me. “I need you back in me. It’s so empty without you.”

I grew in her warm hand with each pump, and she cooed to my erection as it grew for her. At that point, all the mana beasts around us were starting to stir, the bed rocking with Aurora’s movements.

“Where am I?” Phoebe roused herself enough to push off the bed and turn to me and Aurora. “Our connection is gone.” Her tone was surprising, and a part of me was glad that she hadn’t known it was going to happen.

“Shh! I’m restoring mine,” Aurora declared triumphantly as she speared herself onto me and turned to face me. “Technically, you are taking my virginity again.” She wiggled her eyebrows at me.

I snorted. “There is nothing virginal about you, Aurora. Sorry to break the news.”

She gasped and slapped my chest before blushing and batting her eyes once more. “It’s my first time.”

Phoebe laughed and rolled to her feet. “Cut it out and hurry up. Not having his soul connected to mine is like missing a limb. I’m itching for my turn.”

She came around and cupped Aurora’s breasts, playing with them.

“See, Master?” Aurora said with a smile as she pushed on my chest with both her arms, trying to get me to lie back. “I’m sorry we worried you. But it’s in the past, and I want my connection back. Lay back.” She went back to rocking, working to start our dual cultivation.

I groaned as her mana rushed into my own. Their restored bodies seemed to have matched mine in cultivation. The mana they were able to pull felt amazing. With each thrust, a swell of mana rushed into me.

“Master. I love you.” Aurora kept eye contact with me as she savored each thrust with love-filled eyes.

Normally, she enjoyed being pinned down and dominated, but this time was different.

She was submitting to the connection now that she was free and had a choice. It was still submissive, but in a much deeper way. She wasn’t just giving me her body; she was practicing Kat’s technique and merging her soul.

“Master, don’t hold back. I want everything.” She picked up the pace, panting hard as Phoebe started to play with her.

The sultry phoenix was staring at me with her crystal-clear, blue eyes. She knew exactly what she was doing to Aurora, and she was doing it partly for me.

Happy to do as asked, I started letting myself relax into the moment, enjoying Aurora’s body as it rocked on top of me. I tried to let her keep control, but as she rocked back and forth, I couldn’t help but sink my fingers into her hips and increase her pace, matching upward thrusts to her bouncing.

I pounded myself into her, watching her breasts bounce up and down above me as she rode me to my peak. Smiling, I gave Aurora what she wanted most and burst into her, releasing my seed into her womb.

Power flooded into my shared soul space as it crackled and expanded.

Aurora’s soul palace settled into the shared soul space once more, and our dual cultivation filled us both with mana. I’d have to see later where it had settled.

“Yes,” Aurora let out a sibilant hiss and rolled off me, cupping her sex to keep the seed inside and lifting her hips.

Phoebe moved forward, intending to kiss me as my wives walked in.

“And to think we were concerned about everybody’s wellbeing. Glad to see you’ve all recovered your energy so quickly.” Michelle smirked as she took us in.

“They want to reconnect into the soul space, and I’m happy to help them,” I laughed as I rolled Phoebe over and thrust inside of her.

“I’m sure they’re not also eager to get your seed inside of them,” Kat said.

Mei shot up from her spot on the bed. “Kids? KIDS!”

She was on me in a heartbeat, kissing me and rubbing up against me. Phoebe managed to sneak a leg out from below me and use it to push Mei off the bed.

Mei landed on the floor with a thunk before her head popped up over the side. “Fine, Phoebe first. But I’m next!”

Kat laughed as she turned to head back out. “We’ll leave you to reconnect with your mana beasts. The guards have been dealt with.” She shooed the rest of my wives back out the door.

I felt a bite on my arm and turned to find Mei’s face inches away.

“Focus. Babies.” She held the last word out, a plea in her eyes.

“Be patient.” I swatted her away. “And it may take time.”

She nodded her head, seeming to think about what I had said. “Yes, you’re right. One may not be enough.” She went silent a moment before coming to some decision.

“Twelve. Twelve loads should do it. Right?” She looked over at Aurora, who just laughed.

I gave her a look not to say anything that made Mei think she needed more on the first go.

Aurora nearly choked as she replied, “Yes, Mei. That should be a good start.”

I gave Aurora a look of thanks as Phoebe grabbed my arm and pulled me down for a heated kiss.

She ground herself up into me. “Jokes are over. Fuck me.”

Happy to oblige, I sank my fingers into her supple hips as I slammed myself to the hilt in her.

She arched her back and let out the cry of a phoenix. “More.”

Pumping into her, I savored every moment of her slick, warm sex until I felt myself rising to the peak. I pushed myself home, releasing into her as I continued thrusting, riding the high.

Our dual cultivation broke like a wave over me, and my shared soul space expanded once again, adding Phoebe’s soul palace.

“That is much better,” she sighed. “Now again.”

“No!” Mei pushed me off of her even as Phoebe laughed. “My turn.”

“What about the rest of us?” Quinn asked.

She, Lumi, and Foo were now awake, each of them eager to restore their connection to me.

“One at a time,” I promised as I lifted Mei by her ass and pushed her up against the wall.

She locked her legs around my hips as she ground herself into me. Her face grew focused as she wiggled around, finally finding the right angle and sinking down on top of me. She let out a sigh of contentment.

Pushing her hips up against the wall, I started agonizingly slow, enjoying the frustration that quickly crossed her face.

“Master, harder. I need you to finish inside me.” Mei’s legs squeezed my hips, trying to speed me up. Her tails beat against me like they were throwing a fit that I wasn’t going fast enough.

“Like this?” I shoved her hard against the wall, making it creak.

“Harder!” she shouted, pulling my head against her chest.

I thrust into her harder than before, but still agonizingly slow.

Mei scratched at my back, begging for more. Her tails never stopped hitting me even as I sped up slowly until she cried out with her own orgasm.

Her sex tried to coax my own out, but I wasn’t there yet.

“Seems you’ve had your turn.” Quinn came up behind me and turned my head, starting to kiss me.

“No! My turn isn’t over until I get his seed. I want my kits!” Mei started awkwardly bouncing on me even as I pinned her to the wall.

Chuckling, I pushed her shoulders against the wall to stop her and started pounding into her, our flesh slapping until I hit my peak and unloaded inside of her. The hazy satisfaction in her eyes as she felt my warm seed in her womb was something to behold.

Her soul palace crashed into the shared soul space, and she slid down the wall cupping her sex. “Kits. Lots of kits.”

She grabbed a nearby pillow, using it to keep her hips arched.

Quinn was still smiling at getting Mei riled up as she grabbed me and pulled me over to the bed. Then she sank down on her knees. “You love my horns.”

“Don’t you want—”

“Master,” Quinn said, staring seriously into my eyes. “I don’t think you are leaving this room for several days. Let’s make sure we are varying it up.”

“Days?” I asked, surprised.

Quinn only grinned as she bent forward and licked down the length of my cock before slurping it inside her mouth and waiting for me to guide her.

I grabbed her horns, starting slowly to thrust into her mouth, waiting to see how deep she would take me. When she didn’t give any resistance, I pulled her forward, shoving myself deep down her throat as her mouth vibrated around me.

I let out a moan. There was something primally satisfying about being in control.

Quinn let me fuck her mouth as she maintained eye contact with me, her tongue running up and down my length as our dual cultivation started. Mana crashed back and forth between us as her soul poked, far more gently than the others, into the shared soul space.

Pleasure continued to build until she took my cock deep in her throat and swallowed it all in a single gulp. Then she suckled lovingly on my cock to get the last few drops.

“Lumi, I believe you are up!” Quinn pulled away.

“Ready.” Lumi looked over her shoulder at me as she waved her ass in the air at the edge of the bed.

I stepped around Quinn, heading over to her.

Mei was still on the ground, muttering about kits and occasionally squealing in delight.Trying my best to give Lumi the focus she deserved, I ran my hands along her back and body before cupping her ass. My fingers dipped into her sex and found her more than ready for me.

“No foreplay? No cuddles?” I asked, surprised. Lumi had always enjoyed comfort and foreplay.

“Late. Right now, I just want to be reconnected to you. I want my ring glowing again.”

Looking down at my chest, I found that the four mana beasts I’d already finished had their rings active once again.

“I think we can manage that.” I thrust inside of her before grabbing a fist-full of her hair and pulling it back enough to arch her back.

I angled her so that I wouldn’t rub her too hard as I began pumping inside of her.

“Master,” she cried out as the dual cultivation began and thunder clapped in my soul as her soul palace appeared again.

“You were always easy to please.” I built up the dual cultivation with her, thrusting into her slick sex until I released my load as deep as it would go.

With five of my mana beasts defeated, there was only one more.

I stared at Foo. “Are you sure you want this?”

She crawled across the bed and sat before me. “Yes, Master. I wish to return home so that I may stand guard.”

I pushed her back against the bed, not worrying about asking twice. Removing her armor took a few tries, but when I peeled off the green shell, I revealed a beautiful woman with slender hips and powerful thighs.

Foo’s tawny hair spilled across the bed as she watched me, not like a lion, but like a helpless lamb.

“Gentle, please,” she asked, opening her legs.

It was her first time with me, and I didn’t want to rush it. So I leaned down, cupping her cheeks and kissing her softly, letting my hands wander her body slowly, even as my cock strained.

I continued running my hands along her, trying to decide if she was ready or not. But as my head kissed her folds, I could feel her excitement as it wet my tip.

“That feels good,” Foo sighed.

“Foo, that was just the tip,” I chuckled, starting to push it a bit deeper.

She grabbed at the bedsheets, arching her back as I eased it in.

“It’s so big,” Foo groaned as I barely entered her halfway.

Rather than push harder, I eased it in and out, slowly building up her pleasure in hopes that she would relax. I reached down, playing with her pearl and smiling as she seemed to forget my size and get lost in the pleasure.

She slowly relaxed and opened up for me, finally taking all of me in as I savored her.

“Isaac, take me home.” Her strong legs wrapped around my hips and rocked me deeper still.

I took the rhythm she supplied, stroking in and out of her as we began to dual cultivate. As I wanted to speed up, I wrapped her arms around my head and moved my legs forward, putting her into my lap where I could rock and control the pace.

She bit her lip as she moaned in delight, her eyes closed as she enjoyed each of my movements. I leaned forward, kissing her pink lips, causing them to part just a little, our breath mingling.

We continued on like that, rocking back and forth until I emptied myself into Foo, the last of my rings lighting back up.
