Creating A Succubus Army In A Fantasy World!-Chapter 86: Azure Sky Bastion.

The massive hangar of the carrier port stretched out before them, an industrial beast of steel and humming energy, filled with the constant sound of roaring engines, beeping terminals, and the occasional barked orders from flight personnel.

Giant spaceship-like carriers lined the platforms, each one preparing for takeoff to various bastions around the world.

Some were luxurious private transports, shimmering with gold and obsidian plating, meant for the wealthy and influential.

Others were sleek, military-grade vessels, reinforced with dimensional shielding and flanked by combat-ready Awakened escorts.

But the one Creed was aiming for was somewhere in the middle—a commercial but well-protected transport, efficient yet not too flashy.

Beside him, Lilith practically bounced on her feet, her excitement radiating off her like a hyperactive sun.

Her violet eyes sparkled, and her bat-like wings twitched as she yapped away at a mile per second.

"This is going to be amazing, Master! I’ve always wanted to see more of this world! I mean, yeah, I technically haven’t seen much at all, but you get what I mean! Oh!

"What do you think the Azure Sky Bastion looks like? Do you think they have really fancy sky? Do you think we can get a penthouse suite? No, wait! We should totally go sky seeing! Ooooh, or fight some giant blue birds! Can we? Huh? Huh?!"

Creed chuckled, shaking his head at her endless enthusiasm. He had to admit, it was refreshing.

After everything that had happened, he had been so focused on survival, on the next step, the next fight, the next goal, that he hadn’t even stopped to enjoy this world.

This was his second chance at life, yet he had been treating it like another battlefield.

This trip was as much for him as it was for them.

He glanced at Tierra, who was much quieter but equally pleased. She smiled softly, watching Lilith with a mixture of fondness and frustration.

’I really haven’t treated them the best, huh?’ Creed thought, feeling a small pang of guilt.

He had kept them at a distance, too afraid to let himself get attached.

But looking at them now; chatting, smiling, excited about something as simple as a trip, he knew he had made the right choice in bringing them along.

With a flick of his wrist, he checked his phone, quickly confirming the flight details.

Bus Carrier Number 11-42, Departure Time: 14:30. Everything was in order.

"Alright," he said, gesturing for them to follow. "Let’s go."

They moved toward a sleek, grey carrier, its metallic plating gleaming under the artificial hangar lights.

As they approached, the boarding gate scanned his identification, and they were swiftly allowed inside.

Stepping into the carrier’s interior, Creed took a moment to appreciate the convenience of spatial storage technology.

Unlike in his past life, where people had to drag around heavy luggage, now everything was simply stored in a personal space ring.

It made traveling absurdly easy, and it was a small reminder of how far humanity had come since the Descent of dimensional rifts.

As they took their seats, the Silver-level flight escorts moved into position.

They were Awakened warriors, armed and ready to protect the carrier from flying dimensional beasts that sometimes lurked in the skies.

Rumble!

The carrier shuddered, a low hum filling the cabin as powerful anti-gravity thrusters activated.

Slowly, the massive ship lifted off the ground, hovering for a moment before accelerating upwards.

Within seconds, they broke through the hangar’s energy field, and the world outside transformed into a blur of clouds and sky.

Inside, Creed sat comfortably between Lilith and Tierra, feeling the soft vibration of the ship beneath them.

"So..." he mused, turning to them with curiosity. "You two can fold your wings and make them disappear into your bodies?"

Lilith grinned, puffing out her chest proudly. "Yup! Super handy, right? Imagine trying to fit into a shuttle with these things out all the time.

"We’d be getting stuck in doors, knocking over plates, accidentally slapping people—oh wait, I already do that."

Tierra, ever the calm contrast to Lilith’s chaos, nodded. "It’s a survival trait. Our kind was meant to blend in when necessary."

Creed raised an eyebrow. "Your kind?"

Lilith blinked, looking just as confused. "Uh... yeah?"

Tierra frowned slightly. "Actually... I don’t really know what I meant by that."

That made Creed pause.

He had been trying to learn more about them, but besides their names and talents, they knew almost nothing about themselves.

It was as if their memories had been wiped clean when he summoned them.

’Maybe... it’s because they aren’t powerful enough yet,’ he thought. The stronger they became, the more likely it was that their memories would return.

Then, a flash of an image hit him; the beautiful but terrifying chained woman, shrouded in power, eyes filled with an eerie, knowing gaze.

He tensed.

"Do either of you remember... a woman? Someone in chains?"

Both Lilith and Tierra looked at him in confusion, then shook their heads.

"Nope," Lilith said. "Should I?"

Tierra frowned. "I feel like... I should know something, but it’s not there."

Creed exhaled, letting it go. For now.

"Don’t worry about it," he said, leaning back. "I’ll figure it out later."

Instead of dwelling on it, he simply kept chatting with them, enjoying the simple act of getting to know them.

He got to know that Tierra was close to a breakthrough, which was fantastic news. A stronger summon meant a stronger him.

Before long, a voice crackled over the intercom.

"Attention passengers. We have arrived at Azure Sky Bastion. Please prepare for landing."

The moment those words were spoken, Lilith grabbed Creed’s arm, eyes wide with excitement.

"We’re here! Master, I swear, if this place doesn’t have a unique sky, I’m going to riot."

Tierra sighed. "You’re going to riot either way."

Creed smirked as he watched the towering cityscape of Azure Sky Bastion appear in the distance.

A bastion filled with unique sights, landmarks, and new food.

This was going to be fun.

The moment he and his summons stepped out of the carrier, a warm gust of fragrant air washed over them.

The tarmac of the carrier port gleamed beneath the high afternoon sun, reflecting the dazzling sky-blue theme that dominated this entire bastion.

As they walked down the extended boarding bridge, their eyes instantly widened as the full view of Azure Sky Bastion came into focus.

This was a Tier 3 Bastion, one of the most famous tourism hotspots on the planet, renowned for its sky-high gardens, floating rivers, and ancient-yet-futuristic architecture.

It was a place designed not for war, not for survival, but for the sole purpose of pleasure and relaxation.

This entire bastion existed to give people a place to escape the brutal realities of the outside world—a paradise among the clouds.

And Creed, after weeks of stress, fighting, and near-death experiences, was more than ready to milk every single credit out of this trip.

He grinned to himself, already picturing a long checklist of all the things he had seen on the web about this place.

The Skyglass Bridges.

The Hanging Waterfalls.

The Gravity-Free Spas.

’Oh, I am seeing it all,’ Creed thought with a ridiculous level of determination.

He had paid good money for this trip, and by all that was holy, he was going to get his money’s worth.

If this place didn’t change his life or make him tear up at least once, he was going to demand a full refund and start a riot!

The check-in process at the main terminal was surprisingly smooth.

The moment they scanned their visitor passes, a small floating drone hovered in front of them, blinking softly before giving a polite beep of approval and allowing them entry.

And then, they stepped into the heart of Azure Sky Bastion.

For a brief moment, none of them spoke.

Even Lilith, usually the loudest and most excitable, was completely silent as her jaw literally dropped.

Tierra’s normally calm expression wavered, her grey eyes flickering with undeniable awe.

Creed?

Creed almost fell to his knees in disbelief.

"This... this is paradise," he whispered, voice cracking slightly.

For a good chunk of his first life, he had always wondered whether he’d ever get into heaven.

Not because he was evil or anything, but because he had been, in his own words, "an absolutely shameless degenerate."

But now?

He could die right now and feel completely fulfilled.

The entire bastion was breathtaking.

Massive sky-blue spires stretched high above, piercing through the soft clouds, their glass-like surfaces reflecting the endless sky.

Floating islands, each one a miniature paradise, drifted slowly in the air, some carrying lush forests, while others held serene waterfalls that seemed to pour directly into the open sky.

High above, translucent bridges of pure skyglass connected different towers, their surfaces shimmering with ethereal light.

Birds—both natural and tamed dimensional—soared lazily through the open air, creating a dream-like atmosphere that felt more like something out of mythology than reality.

Even the streets themselves were aesthetic masterpieces.

The walkways glowed softly beneath their feet, reacting to their steps with a gentle shimmer of blue and silver light.

Crystal-clear water flowed in elegant channels along the roads, and various holographic signposts shifted seamlessly as people passed by, providing instant information on nearby attractions, hotels, and entertainment hubs. freewёbnoνel.com

"This place is ridiculous," Creed muttered, still in disbelief. "Like, there’s no way this is real. Am I in a dream? Did I die at some point and just not notice?"

Lilith, snapping out of her stunned silence, immediately latched onto Creed’s arm with a dramatic gasp.

"Master! If this is heaven, then we must never leave! We’ll build a home here, eat divine food, and you will be my sugar daddy forever!"

Creed choked. "Excuse me?!"

Tierra, standing beside them, merely sighed before murmuring, "This... truly is a beautiful place."

Before Creed could reply, a short young man approached them from the side.

He had neatly combed brown hair, a sharp but friendly face, and an easygoing smile that immediately made him seem like the kind of person you could trust to handle your vacation itinerary without scamming you.

He wore a light blue uniform with the Azure Sky Tourism Agency’s emblem on the chest, and he moved with the confident grace of someone who had done this job a thousand times before.

"Excuse me," the man said politely, stopping in front of them. "Would you happen to be Mr. Creed?"

Creed blinked. "Uh, yeah?"

The man smiled wider, bowing slightly. "Ah, perfect! My name is Lucas, and I am your assigned tour guide for your three-day stay here in Azure Sky Bastion.

"I’ve been sent by the agency to ensure that your visit is as seamless and enjoyable as possible."
