Vanguard of the Eternal Night

When one had a partner who was skilled in driving, they probably shouldn't try too hard to make trouble.

Otherwise, they would end up like Victor, charging in majestically only to be carried out with unfocused eyes.

Tyron settled him into the bathtub, quietly cleaned him up, wrapped him in a bath towel, picked him up, and put him back onto the bed.

Victor's expression showed that he was still lost in his thoughts, pale circles under his eyes. He clutched at the towel, then shrunk into a ball on the bed, feeling that the high peak from half an hour ago still hadn't faded away.

--Heavens, when he used to read those learning materials about physiological health, he had never believed that people could possibly feel so good that they would cry soundlessly. Unexpectedly, it was really possible! And! It could last for such a long time!

This was probably the legendary 'little death'.

Victor: … I'm basically ready to become a waste…

.

After a while, Tyron poured a cup of hot milk and placed it in Victor's hand.

Victor accepted the milk, cradled the glass between his hands, and looked at Tyron with an empty gaze.

Tyron stroked his face, sighed, and said, "Young people should pay more attention to exercise. Your skin is fine, flesh tender, but you can't bear any bitterness. Do you want more water? You are quite dehydrated."

Victor didn't even have the strength left to blush. His lips trembled as he said, "You, you, why can you, do it… for as long as you like?"

"It's a question of talent." Tyron stated. "I can be even more intense, but then, you'll be very quick that way, and there won't be much point. This kind of thing isn't about only feeling good at the end. Slow down a bit, and enjoy it for a longer time, hm?"

His tone of voice at the end of the sentence was so tempting that Victor's little heart trembled!

Tyron looked fresh and casual as he took care of Victor, then happily went to do his morning exercises.

As for Victor, after drinking his milk, he lay down like he was a salted fish for an entire day before finally recovering.

.

… However, the horror of an incubus wasn't limited to only this.

It was to the point where, although Victor was very tired, it was the type of tired that could only be experienced after experiencing the ultimate peak.

Therefore, after he recovered, he would become very excited when he thought about it again.

--That kind of excitement was even more impactful than it had been previously, because he now had the real experience to back it up! The more he thought about it, the more he yearned for it. He felt like he was addicted to Tyron, and if he carelessly let his thoughts wander for even a second, he would fall into happy memories, and then, the craving to try it again would surge up.

So, after the first time, Victor once again attacked Mr. Incubus during the night.

This time, Tyron was sitting on the edge of the bed, his lips curled slightly with a devil's characteristic sly smile.

It could be seen from the first time that he was very good at calculating Victor's physical strength.

Mr. Odin planned very carefully and took every conceivable possibility into account.

&#k2026;&#k2026;

After being on the ship for about a week, the private spaceship finally stopped at the docking point of the Star Province’s competition planet.

Both Tyron and Victor wore sunglasses as they slowly travelled down from the docking point in the planet’s outer atmosphere to the planet’s surface in the planet’s dedicated flying shuttle.

Victor removed his sunglasses when looking out of the window. He saw at a glance that his face was covered in a red glow. In recent days, he'd been living a very satiated and comfortable life.

He looked out the window again: the endless blue water being buffeted by waves, the light from the lighthouse refracting like scales on the sea, fish and birds of the ocean competing for space.

Victor sighed emotionally, "Pure water planets are simply beautiful. When I get old, I definitely want to live on a planet like this for a while. Do you think it would be better to raise a group of dolphins or penguins?"

He turned his head and waited expectantly for Tyron to answer.

In fact, the master assassin really didn't understand what the difference between the two was?

However, he did understand how this child thought. Didn't he simply want to raise some pets to gain a sense of authority from being a parent? So, he said, "You decide."

Victor thought very carefully. "Penguin, then. Penguins are more loyal. Dolphins are too… you know."

Tyron: "Hm?"

Victor leaned on his shoulder, laughed, then said, "Dolphins are the horndogs of the sea. They can hump anything they encounter twice. They'll look for females, or others of the same sex, or use small fish, tortoises, or sometimes, they'll also get hard with humans…"

Tyron shook his head helplessly, then suddenly put his hand on Victor's shoulder, and pressed him a little closer.

Victor: "???"

Tyron said, "What if you fall into the sea, and it's filled with dolphins? You should hold onto me a bit more just in case."

.

The two of them got off the shuttle and landed on Island C, which was one of the five islands--this year's Earth District was in Group C.

At this time, it was already evident how much of an event the A-League provincial competition was.

The entire island had been well-planned. One-third of it was officially designated for competition-related facilities, and the rest was contracted out. Every major business had made an effort to build lots of entertainment, shopping, and landscape facilities on the island, and it was like each square inch of land was worth its weight in gold. People felt like they were surrounded by a variety of commodities no matter where they stood.

Not only were there facilities on the ground, but there were also banners, hot air balloons, airships, and even flying saucers in the sky; there were countless sand boats, desert motorcycles, various sunbathing and barbecue party sites on the beaches, speedboats, Ferris wheels, sea submersibles as well as places where sea dragons (specialty creatures) could be rented.

.

Tyron and Victor dressed casually, put on their sunglasses, and landed in an area with a large stretch of stalls.

When they walked outside, Victor saw a T-shirt that he liked displayed in a small handcrafted shop:

The T-shirt itself had no design, but on the back were the words "I am…", and customers could fill in the rest.

A few minutes later.

The two of them came out of the shop.

Tyron had changed T-shirts and was now wearing one with the words "I am Little Vic's" on the back;

Victor walked next to him with the words "I am Little Vic" written on his back.

.

When they walked out of the beach area and reached the main roads, the temperature-controlled air from the surrounding facilities caused the ambient temperature to cool down significantly.

The two of them first went to the registration place for A-League contestants and signed up, only to be informed that he was one day late!

However, it didn't matter. After all, the opening ceremony for the provincial competition would last for five days, and as long as they hadn't arrived too late, at most, it would only cause them to have to rush through the formalities.

The staff took Tyron to obtain the last number plate: Group C, Contestant number 15.

After obtaining the number plate, they immediately went to draw lots to determine his opponent for the first round.

While the draw was taking place, Tyron was speaking to Victor, "I heard that there will be someone with no opponent in the first round. If that happens, let's rent a sea dragon and play at the bottom of the sea for two days?"

Victor's eyes lit up, but he then said, "Oh, it's over. I've had bad luck since I was a child. There's no chance of it happening for this draw."

Tyron raised his eyebrows and reached in to draw.

It was blank.

He really hadn't drawn an opponent!

"Clap clap clap…" The staff member standing beside him clapped, then gave Victor a thumbs-up, "Beautiful jinx."

Victor replied, "Nah. I practiced this skill by saying 'It's over, it's over, I don't want to fail at all' before every exam."

An old antique, who didn't understand memes: "……" What kind of riddle was this?

.

There was nothing else they could do. Since he'd pulled a blank opponent, the first week of the official competition was really unrelated to Tyron.

So, he simply bought two tickets for the opening ceremony, planning to go and sit with Victor in the audience, eating popcorn while watching the performance match.

Additionally, since they'd agreed to rent a sea dragon to play on the seafloor, that was something else they needed to go do.

After they finished tidying up their things, they went to the beach that evening and rented a sea dragon--this creature wasn't very big and was basically a fish with a tail that was longer than usual. It also had a couple's loveseat tied on its back that served as seats.

When the sea dragon dived into the sea, a shield would automatically activate in order to protect the passengers and provide oxygen.

The two of them charged into the sea, holding the sea dragon's reins, and headed in the direction of the sunset that evening.

The warm red glow made their faces look soft and velvety.

Victor couldn't help but turn his head to stare at Tyron for a long time before leaning in to nibble on his face.

It was a real 'bite'! It even left two very shallow teeth marks!

Tyron laughed despite himself and asked, "What are you trying to do?"

Victor replied very frankly, "You look very tasty."

--Ah, this child was really naive, and his naivety was really cute.

Tyron turned his head and looked back at him for a long time before replying, "Thank you. You look very tasty, too."

Victor was particularly humble and self-depreciating, "No, no. I'm not fully baked yet. You look juicy and smart, and it's obvious that you're particularly sweet with just a glance, elder…"

The old antique pondered this for a long time before finally choosing to be childish as well, "You're juicier."

Victor: "No, you are."

Tyron: "… Come and give it a try? I'll let you have one move first."

As soon as his voice landed, Victor pounced on Tyron, flattening him against the back of the sea dragon.

At the same time, the sun went down past the sea level.

The rays of the evening sunlight were all gathered deep beneath the ocean. On the surface of the water, where there was a forest of stars from the light and the waves, countless sea dragons raised their heads and trumpeted for a long time before diving into the water one after another.

.

Tyron discovered that Victor really liked water.

When the sea dragon swam along the seafloor, Victor was very excited to see and touch everything around him, and then he would turn back to explain and share knowledge with him: about coral, electric eels, the past and future of mammals in the sea…

After that, they rode the sea dragon and stopped beside a rare landform: an underwater hollow.

They let the sea dragon rest for a while here.

At this time, something embarrassing happened. They suddenly heard someone inside the hollow… who had stopped here to have sex.

The man's voice was very passionate, and it was impossible to ignore him.

Victor leaned in close and whispered quietly in Tyron's ear, "Let's hurry up and go."

Tyron found it amusing and said, "How about we go in and give it a try later?"

"No way!" Victor instinctively lost his composure. Then, he thought about it, worried that Tyron would misunderstand him, and continued in a lower voice, "I mean, we can't do it here. We can go back… and try it in the hot springs."

Tyron: "……" Victor really liked water.

Victor's ears turned red as he spoke, and he then hurriedly picked up the reins of the sea dragon and directed it to swim away.

The innocent sea dragon first looked over at the pair of wild mandarin ducks in the underwater hollow with a pair of dark eyes, then turned its head back to look at the two dog-like men on its back. Finally, it blew out two air bubbles full of grievances, and then obediently swam away.
