Beast Taming? Nah, Dragon Herding is Way Better! - Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Consuming Dragon Heart Fruit
After hearing the desires of these dragonesses to eat the Dragon Heart Fruit, Diluc comforts and assures them that they only need to wait for less than twenty minutes now before they can experience these fruits, this short time of wait being long form of torture not only to these draconic beauties but also to him, given that he also quite looks forward to the effects of this new fruit.

After waiting for a while, the focus o Yggdrasil and the others now removed from this farm as they starts enjoying their time with their beloved liege once again as they play around chasing each other on their human form, but with a bit more fun added into it as they also uses their martial arts and magic simultaneously in order to increase their running, escaping and chasing speed, this little game of theirs even aiding to the improvement of their mana control capability as well as their awareness of the surroundings.

This little game of theirs comes into a sudden stop though as they felt the changes happening in the Dragon Heart Fruit Farm, four different beats starting to get stronger and stronger as time passes by, and with those four distinct heartbeats, four of the fruits are eventually turning from the light yellow it is before to a bright orange, eventually turning into a solid crimson red, after which the beating that they senses ever since these four fruits appears now disappearing, making them well aware that this fruit is already ripe.

Looking at each other, the four of them then moves towards the farm with faces filled with excitement from this new thing that they are about to consume, all of them wondering how the experience of consuming this fruit is about to go.

With the draconic beauties allowing the young man to take the lead in going to the vineyard of the Dragon Heart Fruit, said young man, their liege and also beloved picks all of them, using wind elemental mana to carry them as the fruit is way too large for him to carry it in his body, said fruit being far larger than the fully mature Magic Fruit when it is still not ready for harvest, not to mention now that it is ripe and ready to be consumed.

After handing one to each of the ladies, Diluc then takes the last one for himself, curiously looking at this heart shaped fruit and wondering just what sort of wondrous effect will it grant them the first time they eat it.

‘Hopefully, it gives me that last push I need’ having his level already on the verge of reaching both the Solid Orange Core for his magic and the Intermediate Muscle Conditioning for his martial arts, the Ruler of the Draconic Realm thought to himself as he takes his first bite of this fruit.

As he takes his first bite, the draconic beauties followed suit after watching him, not even taking their draconic form in order to consume it as they want to enjoy this thing that they will eat for the first time, a decision that made them think is really worth it given the heavenly taste of this fruit that starts flooding their mouths.

As they take the flesh of this fruit in, it immediately melts into a sweet liquid with a hint of sourness in it, just enough to stimulate one’s taste buds, the taste really refreshing and making the consumer want to eat even more, which all of them do as they take multiple bites into the fruit until they feel like they temporarily have enough.

This is only the start though as the juice of the fruit starts spreading warmth all throughout their entire bodies once they take a gulp of it, a warmth that stimulate the movement of mana inside them, their bodies and core alike, acting as some sort of catalyst that pushes their levels further, all of them feeling not too surprised by it given their accumulation and only needing that small push for each of them to reach the next level.

What is made them surprised though is the fact that once the neon green-haired mature beauty reaches the next level, her body starts exuding a terrifying amount of wood elemental mana that seems to resonate with the mana in their surroundings, creating a green glow encompassing nearly half of the entire main island of the Draconic Realm, said glow invoking a warm, vigorous feeling not only inside the one causing it, Yggdrasil, but also inside the others around her, her beloved liege included.

Feeling the massive amount of knowledge regarding wood elemental mana flowing into his mind as he comes into contact with this phenomenon invoked by the first dragon he ever had, Diluc takes advantage of this and allows himself to float around this flood of enlightenment that allows him to have a deeper comprehension and connection to the wood elemental mana around him, this process lasting for a few minutes that only stops the moment the green glow compresses back towards its source.

This doesn’t mean that they don’t benefit a lot though, as the other draconic beauties alone all had some sort of enlightenment not with the wood elemental mana but rather of their own respective affinity, their strength seemingly increasing significantly as they also managed to have their own breakthrough to the next level, while their liege, along with the cause of this phenomenon, benefits the most from it.

“I reached the Orange Core, my liege~~~” looking at the young man just sitting right in front of her in a lotus position, Yggdrasil proudly announces with a wide smile on her gorgeous, enchanting face, showing proof of it as she lets out her mana in the air.

“Not only Orange Core it seems” smiling at Yggdrasil as she proudly shows off, Diluc added, causing her to feel good once again as she flexes her arms, which seems quite fit but doesn’t really have any trace of muscle in it, something that will make other regret should they think of her as a physically weak lady because of it, as this flesh of hers packs quite the powerful punch despite her build.

“Mn~~~ I reached the Muscle Conditioning as well” she pointed out, although it is already something that she doesn’t need to do given that not only the emperor-like young man, her liege, can see it, but also her junior sisters can also detect this significant, even qualitative increase of her overall strength.

Meanwhile, these two wouldn’t really allow themselves to be outdone by this senior sister of theirs, having their own breakthroughs as well, reaching the next level for both the magic and martial arts cultivation for both of them.

“M-me too liege, I reached both the Bright Red Core and Peak Skin Refining” the taciturn Argenta informed her dear liege as well all while letting out her strength for her to see, causing the young man to smile at her as he moves his hand to pat her on her head, making this platinum-haired beauty smile in satisfaction as she hums a joyful tune herself.

Seeing how her dear liege treats her second senior sister, Seraphina couldn’t help but want him to treat her like that as well, however, given her prideful character, she couldn’t really bring herself to just ask for it, causing her to wait until her dear liege finishes what he is doing with her platinum-haired senior sister before she starts showing herself off to him.

“Waaahahaha~~~ my dear liege, the great me reaches the next level for both magic and martial arts as well~~!!” she said proudly as she raises her head up with her nose slightly pointing to the skies before she peeks into the emperor-like young man’s expression, the satisfaction in her heart reaching an all time high as she witnesses the smile on his face now directed towards her.

“Witness my might, my dear liege, and also my dear sisters~!” she said with a dramatic swing of her dainty hands before she lets out her strength as well, an overwhelming one should people of the same level, both Light Red Core and Late Skin Refining, faces her.

Knowing what this prideful beauty wants just from seeing her act like that, Diluc moves his hand towards her head as well, this fiery-red haired beauty already reaching her head out like a cat towards his hand as if she could no longer wait for it, causing the young man to move faster and establish contact between is hand and her head.

Patting her head for a while, Diluc couldn’t help but find the contrast between how Seraphina usually acts and how she acts right now extremely adorable, something that any man in the world will definitely find the same as well.

“You all did well” looking at these beauties who changes his life due to their blessings, Diluc smiles as he stands up, reaching out his hand and helping each of them up one at a time before they all start enjoying their time once again.
