Nier Chapter 164 (Patreon)

Lansseax's submission added another valuable fighter, and another powerful teacher of supernatural power in the red draconic lightning she was so famous for. To YoRHa's forces among others.

Let us see how the Covenant plans to invade Reach when the planet is covered in a thick meteor field courtesy of Radahn, the outside of the planet itself filled with cosmic storms, as once I deal with the Vassal of the Greater Will, I will have killed a Greater Shoggoth, of a Great Old One.

So with the dragon's offered submission towards myself, I obviously took said offer after fighting her. I firmly grabbed one of her horns atop her head with my hands and then with my other I grabbed her waist to pull her surprisingly soft form against me as I dipped down and bit into her neck.

A gentle crunching noise rang out as my teeth, cracked and crushed the thin almost invisible scales covering her fair neck and I felt Rykard's Great Rune of Devouring come to life as the dragon's blood landed within my mouth.

As this wasn't just me giving her a love bite, no this was me scarring her throat in my claim upon her life being made clear to herself and all who see the scar over her neck.

So after feeling my teeth sink into her throat, I pulled back with her draconic blood being a spicy tonic of... Intense flavor upon my tongue as I looked down upon the shorter draconic figure leaning against me as I let go of her horn atop her head.

"Good girl." I whispered patting her head and making her stiffen at my words before she hurriedly stood up with a small flushed scowl crossing her face.

I took a breath as I gave Melina, and A2 an amused look as I popped my neck and said. "Alrighty! Now we go into the Capital, deal with Morgott and see if my normal methods can deal with the seal around the Erd Tree."

Pulling up my mana to create a large stone platform for my group of four now with Lansseax, I watched as everyone got on before A2 asked with some amusement. "Jake, is there any other hapless maidens you plan on saving or beating into the ground to join your cause?" 

My lips twitched before I shrugged and said honestly. "Not... Really, the more I think about it, the more I think trying to get Malenia into my forces would be a terrible idea. As I myself don't have a way to deal with her Scarlet Rot enmass so unless I want to literally ruin whatever world I throw her at... I have no real use for her."

Our platform began flying off from the mountains we were on and after a minute, I was wondering things. Like, was it even worth going all the way to the Haligtree, in like a set of Cleanrot Armor to show Malenia that her dearest twinky Miquealla had his physical body stolen by their half-brother Mohg and was being mutated?

Honestly... Her Great Rune of Endurance was the only thing keeping her alive so I would probably be better off just killing her as she had already ruined this world basically.

'Although... I could shove their soul into a YoRHa android frame which could have a slot made to have Miquella's needle readied for the frame to keep the Scarlet Rot, Outer God at bay.' I thought before shaking my head as our flying platform swiftly came closer to the city with Melina visibly tensing with her goal so near to herself.

And we flew across the bounds of the city, over the stupidly massive walls and unmanned fortifications that the countless deathless inhabitants of the city had no use of with the War of the Shattering being over for countless years at this point.

With no real surprise we quickly flew to the large platform leading to the large platform of the Erdtree and as our forms landed, I heard the dull thumping noises of a large form walking down the stairs of the hallway leading into the Erd Tree itself.

"Foul invaders, not even fit to be Tarnished. What ambition and arrogance has led you a simple mortal to take up arms against your betters?" A voice growled as they came into the light of the undying sun above our heads.

And I took a breath and smiled with my hands held wide as I stepped forward and said. "My name is Jake Bariss, I slayed Godric under your very watch, I defeated Rhadan and made him my vassal."

Morgott the Fell Omen was a large monster with a draconic tail behind him and his form all but malformed with horns and growth protruding from his body. He stood a good five to six meters tall, with him towering over me with his large cane breaking apart into a multicolored great sword coming into view as he sneered.

"Your accomplishments mean nothing! Marika, will not see neither Tarnished nor even myself the sole loyal demi-god!"

And to his reply, I smiled and answered in turn. "I broke into the school of Raya Lucaria, something not even Radagon and Marika could do. I brought Rennala's mind back and she along with Lunar Princess Ranni have joined mine forces while I slayed the utterly mad Preator Rykard and his serpent god host." 

I could feel a snort ring out in the void as Ranni, and Rennala who were watching this event unfold leaked out Ranni's noise of displeasure at being reminded so bluntly how I fixed her family.

Morgott stopped in place as he allowed me to come up close to him and as I stood naught but five feet away from him, both us well within the reach of the other via our powerful magic, and there was a moment of silence as Morgott's old wise and stubborn eyes met mine.

"You are but so young..." Morgott muttered as he leaned a bit closer before sniffing and he actually looked offended as he said in utter confusion. "Yes... Your soul is naught even two and a half decades old? How have you bested demi-gods with so little time to train, time to gain power?" 

I chuckled and I replied with a shake of my head. "I am not broken like the tarnished and people who aren't so blessed. I have one life and all my life to give to my pursuits Morgott... Now, I am going through you to the Erdtree..."

The large Omen King, gave me a long look before he actually chuckled and stepped back to brandish his Greatsword as I felt A2 hold herself in place knowing I was here to prove myself. "Very well Jake Bariss, your drive will lead you to your own death. But I shall accompany you in this battle."
