War God for Hire- Mercenary: A Reincarnation, Cultivation, Litrpg Adventure

by David Burke

  But there was more to her than these three spokes on an essence wheel. Knowing Maria as he now did, he knew that her soul longed for justice. She was wise enough to know that justice without power meant nothing, and so she had sought to serve the war god, rather than the judge of men.

  But that didn’t mean he couldn’t pour Justice Essence into her. So, a fourth spoke on her essence wheel formed as he poured Justice Essence into her. But something was still missing.

  He felt her kisses as she nuzzled against his chest. She was so much shorter than him that she couldn’t reach his neck, let alone his mouth. That was something he could fix, though.

  Kyle lifted her up.

  Chapter 23 - Consummation

  Kyle’s hands cupped her ass, and he pulled her up and then onto himself. Her body opened itself to him, and he felt her sheath slide down over his shaft.

  “Oh god,” she shuddered. “Finally!”

  Her words motivated him and he pulled the two of them closer. Her legs struggled to wrap around his waist as she sought to gain some control of the way he was thrusting into her. But her mouth was busy kissing his, eagerly waiting for his tongue to invade her mouth, as first his power and then his cock had invaded her body.

  Kyle began to cultivate. He pulled raw essence into himself, but not just into him, he pulled it through Marie and then into himself. The power flowed through both of them as one person. A cycle of circulated essence began to form as their channels temporarily merged.

  Each of them became more than they were alone.

  Marie moaned and squirmed upon his cock. The physical sensation was tied now forever with the cycle of cultivation. Her body shuddered at the raging storm of power that he so easily handled. It scoured her thoroughly, changing her as it went.

  “Don’t fight it, my love,” Kyle whispered in her ear. “Let it reshape you. Embrace the power as it cycles through you.”

  Again, as he had with Kierra, Kyle used Marie as a sieve. Instead of only focusing on one strand of essence, though, he pulled it all into her. Her body trembled in a blend of the pleasure she felt with his thrusts and the pain of having her essence channels scoured clean and stretched.

  Kyle kept pushing the four types of essence within her in higher and denser concentrations. War Essence passed into the Spirit Tier, while Earth and Sky essence both reached peak monster Tier. She was going to end up being the strongest of his bonded, if he could keep this going.

  What surprised him most, was how much aptitude she had for Justice Essence. He noted it and, between long, slow thrusts, he taught her how to filter the golden essence out of the mass of raw essence he was pulling through her. At some point, he must have carried her to the bed, because suddenly she was on her back writhing underneath him.

  He worried briefly about crushing her. She wasn’t as petite as Nyda, but she was still much smaller than him. Still, he knew how strong her body was now. Even as a part of him pushed to continue cultivating through her, another portion of his mind worked to refine her body. He purified it, pushing any impurities in her bones and muscles out. He strengthened her sinews, made her bones much denser, and increased the bundles of muscle fibers in her lithe form, making her much more than human.

  His experience improving Saber came into play here, but he had a much more intimate connection with Marie than he could ever have with Saber. The two of them were one flesh, but also one soul. Her body had become less one of flesh and bone, and more a construct of essence that he shared with her.

  She was becoming some type of hybrid between an essence construct, like he was, and the flesh and blood body of a human.

  When her Justice Essence had passed into the Spirit Tier, she shuddered, crying out, “No more, just finish. My body is forever yours to enjoy, my soul is sworn to you.”

  Kyle changed up his rhythms then. There was still so much more he wanted to do for her, but he didn’t have to finish with it all in one go. Soon, their love making became less about dual cultivation and more about passion. His hands grabbed her hips and held her close as his mouth trailed over her neck and breasts.

  Her cries shifted from ones of exquisite struggle to ones of hunger. “Ohhhh… Kyle yessss. Be my god. Be my husband. Claimmm mmme!.”

  Kyle wanted to erupt inside her, but he felt a certain bit of frustration that he hadn’t brought her to the point of her own orgasm yet. He could sense how close she was. She teetered on the precipice and probably only her focus on cultivating gave her the ability to hold back from going over the edge.

  He prided himself on always making sure his women orgasm first, but Marie must have sensed what he was thinking.

  “No, M’lord. My goddd, claim me. I needd it. Use mee for your pleasure. I mustt be that for you. Let mmme do that forrr yyyou…Pleassee, empty yourrselff into meee.”

  Any restraint Kyle felt at that moment gave way as he thrust until he was completely buried within her. He could feel her body stretching as she struggled to accommodate him. His tip pushed hard against her cervix as the first rope of his cum shot out.

  It wasn’t alone though, as he pulsed rope after rope of his seed into her. He felt like an explosion had gone off inside of him. Their connected essence channels made this as much a spiritual experience, as it was a physical one.

  No sooner had Kyle begun to release deep inside of her, than he felt her clamp down around him. The warm, slick embrace he’d felt around his cock only became tighter as her body spasmed through its own orgasm. She tilted his head to the side in a clear signal that she wanted him to kiss her neck and he obliged her. That seemed to push her over the edge as the sounds coming from her were unintelligible.

  It was certainly a trigger that he would keep in mind for the future.

  When Marie finally stopped shuddering, Kyle rolled off of her and onto his side, glad once again for such a large bed. His hands began roaming over her curves as he said, “I love that, but something is wrong now.”

  Her blissful smile was broken for a second until Kyle allowed his hands to wander from her breasts up along the side of her face. He leaned in and kissed her with a deep passion he couldn’t hide.

  His hands continued up and lifted her head piece and veil off. Then he whispered in her ear, “You’re no longer a nun.”

  Her eyes went unfocused for a moment before she purred back, “Just yours now—only yours.”

  “As I am yours. That is what it means to be husband and wife. You have as much claim to me as I have to you.” He pulled back to stare into her crystal blue eyes. “Can you accept that?”

  “Only if you do whatever that was to me again.”

  Kyle chuckled, “Oh, you liked that, did you?”

  “More than you could possibly know.” She sighed. “ For all the times I dreamed about it, the reality was so much… more.” She stroked a finger along his jawline. “And I don’t just mean feeling you in me. It was like we were one. I may not be a goddess, but for a moment as you pulled your power through me, I felt what it must be like to be a goddess.”

  “I want to do that more. I know I’ve altered your body and expanded your essence powers well beyond what you had before…” he began.

  She broke in and said, “Thank you. I always wanted to be strong enough to fight next to the war god.”

  “There is more, though.” He paused. “You can see your essence wheel, correct?

  “Yes,” she replied, “you filled me with not just War Essence but also Earth, Air, and Justice Essence.”

  She frowned. “But there is still an empty spoke on my essence wheel… I don’t know what it is. It feels like there should be something to counterbalance the justice spoke.” As her words trailed, her expression became more confident.

  Kyle was intrigued. “Tell me, can you see what should be in that spoke?”

  “I just get the impression that there should be something to balance justice. Oh… and I can see tiny flashes of white, but maybe that is only my ima
gination.”

  Kyle leaned in closer again, pulling her up onto his chest. He leaned forward and he kissed her before saying, “You are so amazing. That is exactly what you should be seeing. It was the death of the goddess of wisdom that created the mortal races, but that happened ages ago. You don’t have a bloodline for me to activate like Gilthan, Nyda, or even Skrug.”

  “But your soul gravitates to the legacy of another goddess. Nade was the goddess of mercy and you are the merciful warrior. I see it in you clearly. Your fierce power balances on a scale between your need to see justice served and your desire to show mercy to the weak.”

  He stared deep into her eyes, as if peering at her soul. “Would you like me to try to awaken that power within you?”

  Without hesitation she answered, “Yes, M’lord.”

  “You mean ‘yes, husband’.”

  She nodded, saying, “My lord, my husband, and my god. I am honored that you humble yourself to lie with me, but I can never be your equal. You are an eternal god, and I am merely a human woman blessed with so much more than she deserves.”

  “We shall see,” was all that Kyle said in reply. He had hopes and visions for reshaping the world and restoring that which had been lost but didn’t know if it could be done.

  He didn’t want to make promises to her he couldn’t honor. Instead, he added, “We will need to cultivate just as we did before and you will have to filter out as much of that white essence as you can.”

  She grinned back at him when she said, “Okay… but I get to be on top this time.” Then, without waiting for a response, she pushed him back so that Kyle’s head bounced back onto the pillow as swung her leg up over his hips.

  Once she was straddling him, Kyle began pulling raw essence through her once again.

  She gasped.

  This time, he couldn’t tell if it was in pain or pleasure. “Remember to focus on trying to sift as many of the white essence strands out of the flow as you can.”

  “Mmhmm,” she moaned, biting her bottom lip. “Other things for me to focus on first.” As she spoke, she started to grind her hips into Kyle. He wasn’t inside her yet but was sliding between the lips of her labia. Her wetness made it a smooth ride and the part of Kyle’s mind that was focused on the physical began to wonder if she could make him cum this way.

  What quickly became apparent was that she was going to orgasm all over him if she kept it up. What was even more impressive, though, was how she was still able to strain out a stream of Mercy Essence out of the larger flow.

  It empowered her body and allowed her to push even harder as she ground her hips ever more passionately against him.

  Kyle was staring at her full breasts; they swayed hypnotically in front him as she glided along his shaft. They certainly weren’t the breasts of a woman who was more than a hundred years. That was one thought he decided to keep to himself.

  He reached out and took each of her breasts in his hands. They looked smaller in his large hands, but the way they felt was so enticing. He glided his thumbs over the lower curve of her breasts and up over the peaks of her stiffened nipples.

  The stimulation of her nipples pushed her over the edge and she began moaning again, “Oh god… don’tt stop… don’tt yyou ddare stop!”

  Because he wasn’t inside of her, Kyle found himself better able to focus. He was astounded again when she orgasmed—not that her nipples were so sensitive, but how the amount of raw essence she was able to filter shot up exponentially.

  When she came back down to Verden from the heights of her bliss, Kyle explained what he’d observed. She seemed interested in the phenomenon, but not as much as she wanted to impale herself on him again.

  “No, not yet. I want to experiment and see if we can repeat the cultivation results,” Kyle said.

  She was practically panting as she replied, “You just like to tease me.”

  “Hey, I’m the one being denied here,” he smirked. “You’re going to complain because I wanna give you more orgasms? But it’s the only way to test things out. You know… for the sake of science and all.”

  Without another word, he pulled her up, so that she straddled his face. He pulled her ass forward and soon his tongue was buried in her wetness. He loved how into it she got.

  Another part of his mind was busy cultivating and pulling energy through them, but he also let himself just enjoy the simple fact that a beautiful woman was straddling his face and screaming out his name.

  He tortured three more orgasms from her with his tongue and fingers and each time, she was able to sift out more Mercy Essence. Because he was finally able to anticipate it the third time, he managed to create another spoke to his own essence wheel, too.

  The flood of this new, white essence put him at peace in ways he had never experienced before. This must be what it was like to feel no need for violence or vengeance. It could never have been him, but he could understand why Nade would have connected with this aspect of essence.

  Meanwhile, Marie had been pushed to peak Monster Tier in Mercy Essence, and her body seemed to practically glow with extra power. The modifications he had made to give her more of a constructed nature simply soaked up raw essence. It would definitely take more testing to see just how powerful she had become, but that would have to wait.

  First, Kyle had needs of his own.

  Once again, Kyle flipped her around, this time so that she was on all fours. Then, he lined himself up behind her.

  “Tell me how much you love me,” he teased.

  “I love only you and am yours in every way.”

  “And what is it you want me to do to you now?”

  “Oh, shut up and just fuck me,” she growled. “Don’t you dare hold back this time, either. I’m the war god’s bride and he needs to prove…” her words were cut short as Kyle thrust his entire length into her in one powerful stroke.

  Fortunately for them both, she was well primed—otherwise she never would have been able to handle it.

  After that, words were not something either of them could manage as he slammed his hips into hers with abandon. His senses expanded to feel the connection between them. He could feel the pleasure he gave her just as much as the pleasure her body was giving him now. He did as she asked and didn’t hold back.

  That didn’t mean he was in a rush, though.

  Marie might have been waiting for this for over a hundred years, but he had his own pent-up desires for her to express. Again and again, he thrust into her velvet center, each time pulling out till he almost slipped out. The desperation in her body was evident as she tried to push herself back onto him, but no matter how strong she had become, he was stronger. He held her hips perfectly still in a vice-like grip—just where he wanted her. She shuddered to first one orgasm, and then to another, but he didn’t allow it to distract him from his goal.

  He was climbing his own mountain and fighting against the inexorable climb with all his will. It was a losing battle, though, and he knew it. He didn’t want it to happen before it absolutely had to.

  He wanted her to know her body was so irresistible to him that even the will of a god couldn’t resist her. When he finally finished, the load he deposited into her dwarfed what he had filled her with before. Squirt after squirt shot out of his cock until he felt drained and his seed leaked out of her and down both of their thighs.

  The two of them collapsed together, knowing the power they’d shared was both passionate and practical; that their lovemaking was both physical and spiritual.

  Chapter 24 - Training Time

  The next three days passed in a whirlwind. Kyle found his bedroom wasn’t his own any longer, but it was hard to argue against having three beautiful women climb into his bed. Who wouldn’t want to have Kierra, Nyda, and Marie for roommates?

  The only real downside was that he and Nyda had not found the opportunity to enjoy their private time—yet.

  The tradeoff was several extended group make o
ut sessions that ended up with him inside of either Kierra or Marie. Nyda wasn’t embarrassed about nudity or even her attraction to the other women, to see her sucking tongues with one of the other girls, but for some reason, she couldn’t bring herself to finish what she had started with Kyle if the others were watching.

  And to be fair to Nyda, each of the others had enjoyed a bit of privacy for their first real time with him. Kyle understood and even approved. It was what he wanted, as well. Unfortunately, everything and everyone wanted his attention and they couldn’t catch a break. As disappointing as that was, it wasn’t the most bizarre sexual problem he’d had to deal with these past few days.
