RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse-Novel

--AN) Had to go food shopping so chapter is late :P --

Ishtar did not waste any time. She returned in no time at all with five girls, all seemingly around Joy's body age. They were all beautiful and virgins, so they were perfect for Joy to have as her relief. "Ishtar, thank you." Lillia bowed her head to Ishtar. "Tonight, if you and Nanaya are willing, you can join us for our normal sisters meeting so we can get to know one another better."

Knowing that Ishtar was so willing to help was enough to put her on Lillia's good side. She truly had done a lot for her family. The way she cared for not only her own daughter but also Destiny and Joy was enough to show her kind nature, even if she put up a strong front.

Ishtar smiled when she heard this because this meant she was slowly being accepted by Lillia, who was the main wife from what she understood. If Lillia accepted her, she could finally be with the man she fell in love with. Even if It meant being bound to Blake forever, she did not care. She had truly fallen in love with this man.

Later that day, Blake was lying on a bed. His wives, Destiny, Ishtar, and Nanaya, were all standing next to him. "Blake…." Lillia held his hand. She had a very worried expression on her face.

"It will be fine. Ishtar is here to make sure nothing happens to me. All I need to do is take in a bit of astral energy, just like I do with mana. As long as I can see it, I will be able to pull it to me. So do not worry so much." Blake tried to reassure not only the girls but himself as well that things would be okay.

He was about to embark on a near death experience. He would be walking that fine line between life and death, and only then would he be able to be reborn. Truthfully he was quite scared, but he did not have any other choices at this time. He had to do this no matter what. "I am ready…"

"Okay, but remember, you only have about thirty seconds. If you can not take in astral energy within twenty of those thirty seconds I am pulling you back no matter what, do you understand? If we lost you we would all be sad." Ishtar's eyes showed how worried she was for Blake but she could not stop him from doing this.

"I will do my best then." Blake smiled and closed his eyes. "Do it."

Ishtar clenched her fists before opening them and creating a golden needle in the palm of her hand. She then took that needle and, after taking a deep breath threw it at Blake's heart. Blake felt a pinch of pain before he felt the world around him was gradually fading away.

"Ah!" A voice cried out by Ishtar's side. Ishtar turned to see Lillia collapsing to the floor. "Huh? What happened!?"

"Shit! We forgot these two are connected! Ishtar, you will need to help bring them both back!" Mina cried out as she flew over to Lillia and began covering her in healing magic.

"What!? Why would they do something so stupid!?" Ishtar never thought they would have such a bond between the two of them. "Damn it. Nanaya, bring me that thing from the treasury now!"

"On it!" Nanaya quickly disappeared while Ishtar went to work, trying to keep both Blake and Lillia alive. She was a goddess, so it was not too much trouble, but she only had so many seconds, and now things were going to be a little risky.

"Auntie, is there anything I can do?" Destiny asked as she looked at her mother, who was being lifted up onto the bed by Josline.

"Unfortunately, no. You are not used to your powers yet. One wrong move can cost your mother her life. Destiny, I know it is hard, but rest assured I will make sure to protect them both." Ishtar had both Blake and Lillia wrapped in a golden light. Mina and Noa were doing their best to use healing magic to stabilize their conditions. Noa and Mina were supposed to only be healing Blake, but now that they had to split up between Lillia and Blake.

Blake was currently having an out of body experience as he looked down at the girls trying to save the both of them. He never thought his blood bond with Lillia would suddenly take effect. He was not actually dead just yet, so he did not understand unless the blood bond was triggered because he was on the brink of death. If that was the case, this was not what he had ever wanted.

"You have to be shitting me!" Blake was very worried. He did not know what was going to happen to him or Lillia, but he knew one thing. "I just need to take in a bit of this purple shit, right?"

Floating all around him were wisps of purple energy. Blake was not sure if this was astral energy or not, but he seemed similar in color to the orb that Nanaya showed them when she was explaining things. Since that was the case…. Blake concentrated and shot down into his body, fusing back with it before summoning as much of the astral energy in the air towards him. At first, it was not working. The astral energy did not seem to want to come, but gradually as a few more seconds passed, the astral energy began to surge toward his body. But not just him alone but also Lillia's body as well.

"What!?" Ishtar could feel the air trembling as waves and waves of astral energy began to condense into the room. "I think we will be okay. You girls keep the healing up. I will regulate their intake of astral energy. If they take in too much at once, they will explode!"

While Blake and Lillia were starting to undergo their rebirth, there was still a chance of mishaps. Ishtar was not going to allow anything to happen to either of them.
