The Eternal Family

Chapter 147 Lilly, Tell Them!





A dilapidated village stood at the top of a green hill. The houses had long since been destroyed due to some kind of heavy attack. The putrid stench of blood hung heavy in the air.

If someone looked up from there, they would see vultures flying about in the air.

But among the ruined houses was one house that stood without any damage at all. No, it was a small hut. A thatched hut.

The tree stacked doors of the hut casually opened up and a tired young man walked out of it. His head was bald and he was naked from head to toe.

Walking out of the hut, he took a deep whiff of the bloody air. "Argh… how disgusting," he sighed.

He looked up at the sky and squinted in irritation. The vultures all ran away like frightened birds. No, flew away like frightened birds.

No.

They were frightened birds.

Harry then sighed and looked below the hill. Strewn across the land, as far as he could see were corpses. Cut, mangled, and blasted apart.

But none of them were any human or beast that Mystry knew. They looked alien and weird.

They were extremely hideous in their corpse form.

Harry waved his hand. But the landscape itself didn't just get drowned or destroyed to clean the world. Instead, just a wind passed by.

"Ah, it is not my main body!" He shook his head to clear his mind.

This was not his real body. Had it been rough like he had been now… it could have acted like a makeshift bomb. But this was his clone.

"I am always asleep and can rarely walk.." He muttered, trying to use his mouth. "That is affecting my cloney mentality."

He should have been able to tell the clone apart from the main but due to being asleep every time, he had lost that power a bit.

Sloth was an extreme path that will leave a person weak their whole life once they are started out. And Harry had chosen exactly that path for the clone.

And that had made the clone completely unable to move but constantly grow stronger. But recently, He came to know that by sacrificing major amounts of Energy, he can move for a short time.

It was unrefined Energy that had yet to become a Point, so free money that he got by being lazy. He didn't mind losing it.

So, he had used that to come here some months ago and wiped out the Alien Beast army with sheer might. But his Energy was depleted and his main body didn't mind his clone sleeping on the cold ground for months.

That said, he looked at the beast army that lay strewn across the ground. "Evis, open a portal for me to the academy bedroom. I want to go back and sleep."

But unlike what he expected, nothing happened.

"Evis, my clone just woke up. Bring, no, take your senses to that part of Mystry," Said Harry who was having fun on the beach.

Evis who had finally got her hands on the little angel, Luna, frowned and glared at him. 

She did it regardless though.

A gate opened and Harry's clone walked into it. Falling into his bed in the Academy bedroom.

He had learned how to refine Energy and turn it into points through the past month and also made his body — clone body — much stronger than it was.

In a Cultivator's Standard, he was barely in Rank 1 though. Most of his stats were not yet 100 and that made him not an entirely Rank 1 being.

But some of the stats were and in some more months, he believed he would be a Rank 1.

Soon, he was back asleep. Being awake was such a waste when sleeping made him stronger.

Floating in the sea with a lollipop in his mouth, Harry looked up at the sky and called, "System."

"Yes, Host!"

It had already been a day since the shark incident but there was nothing going on the beach. Lilly and Evis were at each other's throats.

Emma and Valeria were acting like old women and just spending their time in comfort and boredom. They were all too much, just drinking coffee, tea, or something and playing Uno that he had given them.

Lilly and Evis were at least a bit better since they fought using chess these days. The winner gets to have Luna for the next hour or so.

Lilly wouldn't have agreed to that game normally but saying no there was humiliating her intelligence and showing that she was a coward. There was no way she wouldn't fight.

Even though Evis was winning most fights, Lilly still won at times.

Luna didn't mind who was taking her as long as they didn't disrespect her sleep time. But as long as they as much as wake her up…. She releases hell.

That was when he had to act as the middleman and go soothe her. Emma was also good at it but other than her, every one of them was bad at making her not cry.

They just knew how to have fun when she was in her cute mood. 

"System, tell me. Should I just dive deep into the ocean to see what lies underneath, hidden and buried or should I fly up into the sky to see how far I can go?"

[Why do you want to do that Host?]

"Of course, because I am bored." Harry swam around, bored.

[Then it is your choice. The system doesn't have any emotions and only speaks with rationality. Do you want the system to choose randomly?]

"Yes, choose something," he said, finally he should do something fun.

[The system has done some random calculations and the choice is: Fly high]

Two, long and heavy wings spread behind Harry. It was underwater but the weight of the water couldn't even make it budge.

It split the area with a move and a Zwoo! Sound later, Harry was high above the sky.

He laughed and then another zwoop later, he was beside Lilly and Evis who were in another heated chess match. But with one glance, Harry saw Evis was the one with the baby, and taking his wife Lilly into his embrace, he vanished with another flash. 

Evis saw everything in slow motion and sighed in relief. Then she silently changed the queen's position on Lilly's board…

She was about to lose!

'Lucky…' she thought. 

"Come, Luna, we will go explore the depths of the ocean. Father is always pampering that… mother of yours these days. Humph." Complaining, she stood up.

Luna opened her black, gem-like pure eyes and frowned. Immediately, her eyes became blue. 

Evis curiously looked at the cute phenomenons. It reminded her of the two types of color changing alien bloodlines she used to have. Luna's eyes shift colors at times.

"Ah, I also have a servant who has eyes like yours. Hmmm….. It's better you don't meet her or Dad might just fry me," she said with a chuckle, calmly walking into the sea.

Luna's giggle rang out just before she entered. Under Evis, there was nothing in this world that could harm a hair on her. Including oxygen deficiency.

High in the sky with the rising Sun as their background. Lilly and Harry's lips were meeting and they were enjoying a deep kiss.

Harry's hands were protectively wrapped around Lilly's waist and she was holding onto his neck. Breaking the kiss, she immediately complained: "I was just about to win! Just 3 more moves and she would have lost!"

Harry didn't bother and went for another kiss.

She kissed him back but gave him a headbutt after that.

"How is my new wings Lilly?" he asked.

Lilly looked at the firm, birdlike demonic dragon wings behind him and asked, "It is different from the Lust Dragon one. I like this one more since it looks more sleek."

Nodding, Harry flapped his wings, "They are also much faster and stronger. I can reach the castle in one flap."

"You can just teleport instead. Gifts are not all useless!"

Harry chuckled, saying: "That's true!"

"So, why did you bring me up?" Lilly asked, looking downwards.

She could see land way below her. She gulped.

Even though her body was strong, it wouldn't survive a fall from here and she didn't have any flight ability. Of course, she had no worries. Harry was capable enough.

"Do you remember today's specialty Lilly?" Harry asked.

Lilly blinked.

"It's exactly been a month from your promise. Don't you want to fulfill it?" he asked with a smile. 

"Now?!" Lilly questioned in disbelief.

Harry smiled and waved his hand. A screen appeared in the skies all around the continent of Mystry. All else saw two people side by side, like angels, no, one angel and a demon high in the sky.

The demon had horns wings and everything whereas the angel looked Human.

Harry smiled and said, "Lilly, you speak."
