Chapter 58. Returning to Orario!.
Artemis, Ryuu and I arrived in Orario around late afternoon and we all immediately headed to the Hearth Mansion where we were sure everyone was already waiting for us.
I'm sure the girls must have sensed me as soon as I got close to town, got to admit though it was really fun to walk and travel the normal way, Ryuu and Artemis certainly seemed to have enjoyed it.
But in any case we arrived home and headed to the living room where everyone was already waiting for us, Hestia, Bell and his party were already sitting in the living room along with the Loki girls.
I smiled at them the moment I saw them and they returned my smile with one of their own, then I noticed the other guests who where Miach, Hephaestaus and Takemikazuchi along with his Familia.
They waved and smiled at me the moment they saw me, I of course waved back at them with a smile of my own and then proceeded to give my girlfriends a hello kiss and headpat for Kunou which made them really happy.
Kunou hugged me and I lifted her in my arms as I walked over to the couch and took a sit where my daughter sat on my lap and relaxed there, Ryuu and Artemis sat to my sides and relaxed as well, I gave Kunou another headpat and then began to speak "phew! it's been a long five days but we're back guys, how's everything?".
Bell grinned and then proceeded to informed about the battle in the Dungeon, I knew that in the movie it got pretty serious with the amount of monsters that showed up but it seems that it was worse in reality but Bell then proceeded to tell me how everyone banded together and pushed the monsters hoard back.
He then told me how my girlfriends and Kunou made a heroic appearance and turned the tides of of battle by joining the fight I chuckled a bit when Bell told me how Kunou introduced herself.
It seems like the battle lasted hours but everyone did good and no monsters made it past them, not that it would have matter since apparently my Pokemon were already outside of the tower and ready to fight.
According to Hestia, everyone in town has now seen the Pokémon and even the big ones, to my surprise though no one panicked or even got scared of them and instead they felt at ease knowing that the Pokémon were there to protect them.
After that I then proceeded to let everyone know about our fight with Antares and how I saved Artemis from within the monster, I of course let the fact of my evolution a secret amongst Hestia Familia members and my girlfriend.
Hephaestaus and Hestia stood up and immediately hugged Artemis who hugged them back with a soft smile on her face, both of them were really glad that Artemis was okay and safe.
But then came the time to do the sad part, after letting everyone know about Antares and Artemis I then took everyone to the backyard and went towards where Mew was taking care of the dead bodies of Artemis's Familia.
Luckly Mew had cleaned the bodies and put them on stasis so they wouldn't rot but it was still heartbreaking to see Artemis breakdown and cry as she hugged each and every one of her dead Familia members to both say goodbye and have some closure.
Mew seemed really sad as well so I grabbed the little pink cat from mid air and hugged her "thank you for taking care of them Mew".
Mew nodded and watched as Artemis said goodbye to her Familia, after that I used my control over earth and opened up holes on the ground and gently used Psychic to lift the bodies and then float them down into the wholes.
I then buried Artemis's whole Familia while everyone sadly watched on, afteronhad buried them i clapped my hands together and used my power over Nature to make a massive apple tree to sprout where I had buried the Artemis's Familia.
Artemis smiled and grabbed my hand while I handed Mew to Kunou who hugged her in her arms "thank you Rean... for not leaving their bodies in that Temple and for giving them a proper burial in a place as beautiful as this backyard".
I nodded "don't mentioned it, it is the least I could do for them Artemis".
Artemis nodded and smiled at the now grave of her Familia, I'm not sure what's going through her head right now but whatever it is it made her smile, maybe she's thinking back on all the good times she had with her Familia.
After taking care of the Artemis Familia we all then moved to celebrate the fact that we had succeeded in saving Artemis, defeating Antares and protecting Orario.
Artemis was a bit melancholy throughout the rest of the night but everyone understood why and just tried to make sure she wasn't alone or at least that se could keep her mind off her children so Hephaestaus and Hestia proceeded to interrogate her about me and her since they noticed how she was holding my hand.
While Artemis was trying to fend off the nosy Hestia and Hephaestaus I was talking with Serafall, Yasaka, Yunyun, Wiz, Sakuya ad Ryuu and told them about my evolution and new powers.
The girls seemed very happy and excited about my new achievement and gave me plenty of hugs and kisses glad that I was still the same guy even after becoming a Dragon God, I also told them about my new skills and the fact that one of them Limit Breaker affected them as well.
Needless to say that they were surprised about what that skill allowed them to do was an understatement and all of them were now very curious as to how powerful they can become now, they were already way above the norm but now that they don't have any limits anymore they were really curious as to how far they can go.
At some point during the celebration Tione and Tiona approached me and Serafall and with no hesitation or even a bit of embarrassment they asked to join the harem "eh? well I don't mind, both of you are very beautiful and cool girls to hang out with but why me? and Tione didn't you have a crush on Finn?".
Tione and Tiona grinned, Tiona was the one who spoke first "Rean! your very powerful and that makes you very attractive to Amazons~ but your also very kind to those you love and as girls who wouldn't like that? plus you and your harem seem like they're having a lot of fun! and we want in on that~".
Tione rolled her eyes at her twin sisters but had a small smile on her face "what my sister is trying to say is that we like you because your very nice and know how to treat a woman plus Serafall and the girls a very nice so we love to become their harem sisters and about Finn... he never seemed interested and kept avoiding all the time, I did my best to catch his attention but he never gave me the time of day so I moved on onto something better, I know you wouldn't ignore me or my sister, I've seen how you spend time with your girlfriends and I want that... I want to be cared and loved for".
I turned towards Serafall and raised an eyebrow in question to her, she just smiled "we'll be happy to accept you both! welcome to the family you two~".
I couldn't help but sweatdropped but in the end I chuckled and nodded "well you heard the boss welcome to the family Tione and Tiona".
Both Amazons brightly smiled and then launched themselves at me, thank goodness I'm not human otherwise I don't think I would have survived their hugs but I'm glad that they're happy "now there's a few things that both of you should know before you really agree to join this family so after everyone leaves your both sleeping over so we can talk in more detail okay?".
Both Tione and Tiona nodded and then kissed me pretty hard which caught me surprised since these two sister practically tried to suck my soul out with their kisses and from the corner of my eyes I saw Serafall take notes and I don't know if I shouldn't be worried or happy about that.
That evening after it got dark our guest left to go home and go to sleep except the twins who stayed behind so we could talk and as soon as everyone left the girls and I explained to Tione and Tiona the true nature of who we are.
Of course the twins were surprised but they also seemed far more excited about the fact that they're dating a Dragon God and that the were harem sisters with other supernatural beings.
It made me smile how open minded and accepting of everything these two are, of course they asked questions about our world and what we do there, they seemed to like the fact that we have a shop and that we usually just chill and deal with anybody stupid enough to mess with us.
The especially liked the fact of how we dealt with the Fallen Angels and a devils by taking off their arms or down right slaughtering them, it seems that all of that violence appealed to their Amazonian mind set.
Tione looked up and hummed "everything makes sense now... how your so powerful, the Pokémon and the things you can do too, it's all so amazing and exciting~".
Tiona excitedly nodded "yeah! we can have a lot of adventures together from now on and visit other worlds too oooh! we can fight all kinds of people and have a lot of fun, I can wait!".
The girls and I smiled at the fact that both Tione and Tiona seemed excited about all of these revelations and so we started to plan for when it was time to go back to our world.
With Rule Breaker I can easily take care of Loki's Falna and have them join Hestia but I decided to let the twins decided how to deal with that and they choose to wait until it was time to leave and let Loki know what they're doing.
If by any chance Loki refuses to let them go they'll just use Rule Breaker and leave after that but the twins did want to have a chance at saying goodbye to their friends and I couldn't deny them that.
Then we spoke about going back home soon, there were still a couple of things to take care off before we leave like training Makoto and making sure that Bell and the rest of the Hestia Familia become even stronger.
So starting tomorrow we are going to be hauling ass and get everything done quickly so we can leave in peace.
A few weeks passed by and as promised I up the training of everyone in the Hestia Familia including the Loki girls, first I double the Gravity Spell on them again and have them do Physical conditioning until they were able to fight more easily even with that much increase in the gravity.
It took a week in the time dilation wards which was seven months in reality for them to get accustomed to fighting under such heavy weight after that I personally trained each and everyone one of them on different styles, skills, and spells.
With Bell and I would spar with them for hours to push them past their limits and get used to fighting opponents way beyond their level of strength and skill, they proved once again that there was something really special about them with how fast both of them were learning and getting stronger while fighting me.
With Lefiya and Lili I began to teach them way higher tiers of magic, Lefiya learned those spells fast and now had at her disposal Spells like Meteor Storm, Judgement and Indignation, real high level and Legendary rank spells.
I taught Lili a lot of status and supportive techniques and spells especially from the Pokémon move set, skills like Stun Spore, Leech Seed, Helping Hand and even skills like Flash, Double Team and Screech turning her into a down right terror in the battle field.
Welf continued to learn about Blacksmithing and Enchanting from me and I took my time under Time Dilation to teach him everything I know, the fact that he now had access to modern machinery made everything far more exciting and easy for him, I was glad he thinks so because he's the one who will keep my workshop after me and the girls leave this world.
And then there's Mikoto, she has been a delight to teach and had learned the One Blade Eight Leaves style with ease, she has a talent for the Katana and it showed with how fast she learned the techniques.
I personally trained her under Time Dilation wards for about a year to teach her the style though her variation of it uses the water element rather than fire which was a side effect from Manahimeko but even I got to admit that it looked cool seeing Mikoto use water with the One Blade Eight Leaves techniques.
Haruhime was also training but Yasaka and Kunou decided to take her under their wing and teach her all sort of skills and techniques from both the Yokai and Pokemon.
While I personally trained the Tione and Tiona, both them were already pretty good with their weapons and very high level already so what I did is instead teach them hand to hand combat, I also thought them how use some close quarters Pokémon Moves.
So the twins were soon throwing elemental punches and all sort of special kicks, they weren't very good with magic to begin with so the Pokémon Moves would add some variety to their fighting style plus Pokémon Moves like Power up Punch and Flame Charge which have secondary effects that raise stats are very useful techniques for the twins who like to get close and personal when fighting.
Of course I always made sure that they went to the Dungeon everyday to grind Exelia, Magic Crystals and Loot, I would often dropped them on the 35th to 40th floor and kept an eye on them while they traversed the Dungeon.
At first they wouldn't last long and I would have to rescue them and healed them but soon enough they adapted and learned, little by little they were able to fight back and last longer.
Eventually they were able to traverse these floors with ease and they even level up when they're were ambushed by a big Monster Parade and fought until they won, I'm very proud of them and how far they have come in a few weeks.
Today I was sewing some new clothes for the Hestia Familia using Pokemon silk, wool and cloth, my plan is to make them clothes that are not only resistant and strong but also enchant them with beneficial effects.
This is the first time I've try to do this of course and I've been wanting to give this a try for a while, it's an idea that came to me while enchanting the weapons I forged.
Now that I'm a Dragon God, that allows me to imbued anything I make with my divinity turning everything I create God Tier in rank.
I didn't even know there was a God Rank, I had only seen Beginner, Intermediate, Master and Legendary ranks so a new and far more powerful rank was a big surprise.
Excalibur had also evolved into God Rank as well, originally she was a Legendary Rank weapon but her bond with me caused her to evolve to this new Rank and boy is she even more powerful than before.
She can devastate a whole country with a single swing and we know that for sure because we tried it in a Dungeon and in a single swing she killed everything and destroyed all of the area within the Dungeon.
So we had to learn how to control and manipulate her energy output until we learned how much we can safely use without fearing destroying everything around us, like with my new power level it took a while but once we go it down we were able to keep going at the same low level of power indefinitely.
Soon I finished the new clothes I made for the Hestia Familia, they're actually copies of their every day Adventuring outfits but what made them special was the special effects imbued into the clothes.
Each and everyone of them are grant a resistance to all elements, they also protect the wearer of 60 percent of magical and physical damage plus all of them also have a regen and mana regen effect that activates when the wearer is moving.
Those are the effects I enchanted into these clothes, there were still the effects the clothes themselves got from my divinity, these effects are called Miracles by the system and each thing I create can have three Miracle each.
For these outfits I chose the following Miracles, times 5 experience points, Extreme Stat Growth and Auto Revive.
These Miracles will be a great help for my friends, times 5 Exp Points will allow them to grow faster, Extreme Stat Growth will ensure that all of their stats grow indefinitely and Auto Revive will resurrect them once per death, after that the Miracle will have to recharge.
Though they can recharge the Miracle with their own mana if they need to or just wait 10 hours to charge, honestly these outfits are the best kind of gear I made so far plus they also have Auto Repair and Auto Cleaning Enchantments so Bell and the others don't have to worry about maintenance.
"Let's give these to the guys now" I couldn't help but smile at the outfits I created and I already wanted the guys to try them out.
[They're going to love these gifts Rean! not only are they very comfortable because of the Pokemon materials you used but they're extremely useful as well.]
I nodded and then got up from the seat in my work shop and immediately headed towards the training grounds, I have been working on the outfits since last night and since it still around noon I'm sure everyone is training right now.
Along the way since I now had a bit of free time I decided to use the Legendary Pokémon Token and Mystical Pokémon Token that I obtained from the Quest to save Artemis and kill Antares.
For these Tokens I decided to summon Dialga (female) and Darkrai (male) two very powerful and cool looking Pokémon, Dialga seemed a little confused at first but then looked down and saw me.
I smile at her and she leaned down her head toward me, I immediately gave her a few headpats "hello Dialga, I'm your new Pokémon Trainer, let's both grow strong together okay?".
Dialga softly growled and nodded, then I turned towards Darkrai who was just standing a fair distance away from us "Hey Darkrai, you don't have to worry about your ability everyone who lives here is immune to your power so you can be as close to us as you want".
Darkrai stared at me for a few seconds but then smiled and nodded at me, with introductions out of the way I decided to continue on my way to the training grounds.
Dialga and Darkrai seemed to have decided to follow me which I didn't mind, I'm always happy to spend time with my Pokemon.
It didn't take us long to reach the training area and Dialga, Darkrai and I immediately heard the sounds of battle echo throughout the area.
Shouts, explosions and Tione cursing out was the sounds that filled the area and it made smile knowing who it is they're sparring with today "looks like Kunou is giving them a run for their money".
(Play Battle! Galar Wild Pokémon - Pokemon Masters Ex.)
As soon as we arrived I watched as Kunou rushed forward with Agility and swiftly avoided a spell sent her way by Lefiya who gaped at the fact the her spell missed.
Kunou reappeared in front of her and smacked the ground with one of tails, her tail was engulfed with Ground Type energy and as soon as it collided with the ground it shot up a blast of wet mud as Lefiya.
The Mudslap attack from Kunou smacked Lefiya on the face surprising quite a bit "Kyaaa!" Lefiya took a few steps back in her surprise and pain as she tried to clean her eyes.
Kunou grinned and her body was suddenly engulfed in flames and Fire Type energy "Gao!" with that adorable war cry Kunou launched her entire flame engulfed body and slammed it against Lefiya.
The Flame Charge attack hit Lefiya and sent her flying back screaming in pain, Ais and Bell appeared by Kunou's side ready to slash at her with their weapons but Kunou was suddenly engulfed in a puff of smoke and Bell and Ais found themselves hitting a small stuffed animal that look suspiciously like a white rabbit with red eyes.
Ais blinked in surprised at the Substitute "oh! I just hit Bell...".
Bell sweatdropped "that's not me!".
Suddenly Kunou burst out of then ground while engulfed in Ground Type energy and uppercutted Bell under the chin sending him flying with a grunt of pain.
Ais suddenly stabbed her blade forward but one of Kunou's tails was instantly engulfed in Steel Type energy and smacked Ais's sword away with an Iron Tail attack.
A loud clang echoed through the area as Ais found her sword pushed aside with ease, as soon as Kunou landed on the ground her body let out a bright and shining white light that blinded Ais and Bell who had stood up from the ground.
Ais wasn't expecting that Flash attack and so she was left defenless when Kunou suddenly punched her in the stomach with a Power Up Punch and sent her flying back a fair distance away, she then landed on the ground where she began rolling on the ground a fair distance away.
Both Tione and Tiona then appeared above Kunou feet first hoping to kick her away but Kunou engulfed her body with Rock Type energy and rolled up into a small ball that shot up and collided against Tiona's head "oww!".
Tiona landed a fair distance away and immediately grabbed her head in pain "uggg... thats going to give me a headache lat-".
Tione suddenly screamed cutting off whatever Tiona was going to say "Tiona watch out!".
But it was too late as Kunou had gone around and headed full speed ahead toward Tiona still using Rollout which smashed against the poor Amazon and ran her over.
Tiona groaned in pain from the small trench left behind by Kunou's Rock Type attack, Tione couldn't even go check on her sister because Kunou was heading her way and she had to get ready to dodge or block.
But Kunou surprised her by canceling her Rollout attack and jumped on Tione's chest and hugged her tightly.
Tione gasped is surprise and then sweatdropped when she saw Kunou grinned at her and glowing with Ghost Type energy "wait! don't do it Kunou!".
But Kunou had no mercy today "sorry mama Tione! pero, pero, pero!".
Poor Tione was hit by Kunou's Lick attack "eeek! noooo it tickles Kunou! oof!".
The secondary effect of Kunou's Lick attacks hit Tione and she fall down Paralyzed and unable to move much, Kunou jump off of one her newest moms and immediately rushed forward towards Lili, Mikoto and Welf.
Lili sweatdropped "she's picking us off one by one!".
Welf nodded and grinned "she's certainly a tenacious and powerful little girl, I'll distract her, you and Mikoto get ready to hit her with something that will hold her down!".
Lili nodded and Welf then activated the Enchantments on his sword and slammed it in front of him releasing a wave of darkness towards Kunou who got on all fours and then jumped up avoiding the wave of darkness.
But Welf then grinned "I got you now!" Welf swung his sword towards Kunou unleashing an arrow of darkness that headed straight towards Kunou.
But the little nine tailed fox smiled and engulfed her body with flying type energy and two wings made out of Aura spread from her back and she used them to dodge the arrow of darkness and launched herself towards Welf at high-speed.
Welf couldn't even react when Kunou slammed against him with her Brave Bird attack and sent him flying screaming in pain.
Kunou landed on the ground on all fours but Mikoto was ready to hold her down with her spell, now that she has been trained by Rean and has all the same Perks and Skills as the others she can now use magic without incantation "Futsunomitama!".
Kunou immediately felt the spell's gravity effect hit her "mgrrrrr! this won't hold me down for long!".
Mikoto growled and grunted in exertion "she's right! I won't be able to keep her down for long!".
Lili nodded and then gathered as much of her mana as she could and then began to barrage Kunou with her strongest debuff spell "Debilitate! Debilitate! Debilitate! Debilitate! Debilitate! DEBILITATE!".
Kunou grunted as she felt the effects of Lili's debuff spell weakening her quite a bit but she then upen her mouth and released a massive booming howl that release a massive shock wave of sound, the Boomburst attack hit Mikoto and Lili sending them flying back.
Mikoto couldn't hold on to her spell anymore and Kunou was then freed from the effects of the increased gravity "phew... that was annoying~".
Kunou then stood up straight and leaned her body to the side to dodge a slash from Bell who reappeared in a blur of speed, Kunou frowned when she felt herself move slower than usual "hmm that spell daddy taught Lili is dangerous... oh well! let's get rid of that! Topsy-turvy!".
Kunou's body was engulfed in Dark type energy and then a wave of darkness was released from Kunou, the waves spread out from her and then turned around and hit Kunou.
Usually this move makes the target Pokémon's Stat changes reverse but Kunou somehow was able to control it pretty good so it would hit her and affect her beneficially, like right now since all hers stats were lowered six times with Topsy-turvy they're now upped instead.
Everyone widened their eyes In surprise and shock and could only say one thing "awe shit!."
Kunou smiled and then her entired body was engulfed in Ground Type Energy "let's finish this!" Kunou then stomped on the ground and loudly yelled "Precipice Blades!".
I winced when I saw Kunou use Groudon's signature move against Bell, his party and the Loki girls they all screamed in pain or cursed out as they were being destroyed by the jagged and sharp stone blades "hoo boy... I'm going to have to put everyone back together...".
Artemis who was watching the fight suddenly spoke surprising me because I didn't even noticed her because I was too focus on Kunou's fight... well if you can even call that a fight "they been at it since this morning, they actually lasted longer this time".
I turned towards my left and smiled as I saw Artemis sitting on the grass with Umbreon having his head on her lap and sleeping, Artemis smiled up at me, I then walked up to her and sat besides her "hey Artemis, watching everyone train?".
Artemis leaned her head on my shoulder and nodded "yes, I was honestly curious as to how everyone trains in Hestia's Familia, I must admit that I'm very impressed".
Kunou suddenly came running "see mama Artemis! I'm really strong!" behind Kunou we could hear the groans and moans of pain from Bell and the rest of the guys.
Artemis blushed at being called mama, Kunou being the sweetheart she is immediately accepted Artemis, Tione and Tiona as new mothers, Tione and Tiona loved her for it and Artemis even though she never thought she would hear someone call her that nor ever have a child instantly accepted the title with a smile on her face "yes sweetie, you certainly show them who's boss".
Kunou fist pumped in victory which made Artemis giggle, my daughter then noticed me and immediately smiled "daddy! did you see my fight?".
I nodded "yup! Legendary Pokémon Kunou is certainly a very powerful being!".
Kunou brightly smiled and then turned towards Dialga and Darkrai who were gaping at my daughter which in all honestly made me laugh since they looked hilarious.
Kunou didn't care though and immediately ran towards them to get to know the new Pokémon and began to talk to them and give them Berries she took out from her pocket.
I then turned my head towards the others and watch them crawled their way out of the damage zone while dropping blood everywhere, Welf suddenly yelled from the other side "has anyone seen my leg!".
Which made me sweatdropped "alright... let me just heal these guys and we can hang out a bit okay Artemis?".
Artemis smiled and nodded, she then began to pet Umbreon who was still sleeping peacefully on her lap, lucky guy!.
After putting everyone back together and healing them I immediately gather everyone around me and began to hand them the outfits I made for them and explain their effects, everyone immediately smiled the moment they saw that I have made them something "there you go guys, these clothes are magical in nature and have whole bunch of Enchantments that will help you as you grow".
Bell smiled and nodded "thank you Rean! these will come in handy".
I nodded "your welcome guys! so what do you guys think about fighting Kunou?".
Ais looked up and hummed "she's too strong...".
Lefiya sighed and rubbed her head "and she's fast too, we can hardly see her move let alone when she's using fast movements skills".
Tiona giggle "my little daughter packs a wallop too!" Tione fist pump in pride which made me smile, Tione rolled her eyes at Tiona but still smiled nonetheless "she's not one to show mercy too".
Welf chuckled and grinned "I wouldn't want to have her as a enemy that's for sure!".
Lili nodded "Lili agrees... I'm going to be feeling all of this for the next few days!".
Mikoto hummed "she's has versatility on her side, she has a skill for any sort of situation and nothing we did could affect her for too long, honestly she's a very scary opponent to face".
I nodded and smiled at everyone "good, you guys might not have the same amount of skills and abilities Kunou has but you can still use the ones you do and think of different ways to used them to attack, defend or distract your opponent".
Everyone nodded and after that we all began to walk back to were Artemis and Kunou were sitting and relaxing "so training is over for the day, I think you guys deserve a day off after that ass whooping Kunou just handed to you".
Everyone groaned for reminding them of their defeat by the adorable bundle of fluffiness which made me chuckled in amusement.
Welf then turned towards Bell "hey Bell! how about you, me and Rean go to a bar and have some good old fashioned male bonding over a beer time!?".
Bell tilted his head while thinking about Welfs proposal and then nodded "that sound good actually, I'm in".
Then both of them turned towards me and I just grinned at them "a beer huh? sure it's been a while since I had a beer".
Welf and Bell cheered while I turned towards the girls "and you guys?".
Tione smiled at me "we have to go back to our Familia, me and Tiona are still packing stuff and getting ready to leave with you guys and Ais and Lefiya have study time with Riveria".
Ais and Lefiya nodded to confirm what Tione just told me, I then turned towards Mikoto and Lili who smiled at me, Mikoto was the one who told me what they were doing for today "me, Haruhime and Lili are going with Hestia Sama shopping with Artemis Sama".
I nodded, it seems like all the girls are busy today, since Serafall and the girls are also going shopping today as well since there's quite a few things that they want to get before we leave this world and Kunou more than likely will be hanging out with the new Pokémon.
So it looks like I'll be having a drink with the guys today and I can't wait! its been a while since I had a beer and I'm looking forward to hanging out with my bros.
