Chapter 59: Fiends, demons and a sliver of happiness

Early in the morning as per ussual Rex got out of his bed, gently moving twins and Rashuun, as well as Eira, who had snuck in during the night, and recieved the same one sided defeat as the trio sleeping alongside the angel. All Rex could do was grinn at the sight of four magnificent naked ladies laying there on his bed after an exausting nightly duty. Then he spent a few more hours visiting Irina, Mel, Val and Aisha, and he made sure the girls woudl speel a few more hours longer after he had poured enough love in each of them.

With his morning rounds out of the way, adn a satisfied smile on his face he moved to the garden where Tigra, her cubs and Crystal lived. Then he spent a few dozen minutes spoiling Snow and Diego, and petting both Tigra and Crystal. He had learned another efficient ussage for his mana chains, as he could provide much greater petting experience to the two giant cats with the assistance of said chains. Then once teh cats were satisfied and once again lazily relaxing, Rex sat donw and focused on a dozen of his mana ravens he had sent out as soon as he returned from kitsune job.

He stumbled upon the idea during his time with Vivian when she asked if those ravens could be used for long range reconnosaince and spying, and as sooon as he returned that had been one of the things he did. Sending a dozen or so ravens in different dirrections, to scout the surroundings. Most were however dirrected towards Echlisiarchy, since he ahd enemies there, and due to being controlled by subprocesses of his mind, the movement and activities of said ravens were extremely efficient and carefull.

Since ravens were quite a common bird around these parts, as well as in Echlisiarchy, adn the birds were considered to be very smart, it was not unexpected that their curiosity or cautiosness were very high. Some of his ravens had already found some interesting targets to observe, or had seen some rather displeasing sights. There was one in particular that caught his attention. A hunt of sorts, where a dozen or so noble ladies were tracking a prey of their liking. The young ladies were riding on their worg battlehorses- a uniquely bred and ancient animal, a hybrid between a horse and a wolf. The animal had mostly horse body with the heald of a wolf. It was no suprise that the animal was a predator, with sense of smell even more capable than wolf, and the power and endurance a well trained and specifically bred horse had.

The group of girls was also accompanied by two dozens of special guards, each ridign their own worg battlehorses. The large group was also accompanied by a few blood hounds, but those did not seem to be there for tracking. A couple of his ravens had stopped their path to perch on the branches high in the trees to observe , and it created no questions, as some actual ravens were doing the exact same thing nearby.

"Look." one of the noble ladies spoke as she gestured towards teh treetops "More and more ravens are hanging around with each of our hunt. Think a crowned crow would apper eventually if we keep this up?"

"We can only hope" another spoke with glee.

And so their hunt proceeded for a few hours, their worg battlehorses tracking their prey. Rex who was paying closer attention to the events occuring here, since he had to wait for the demon princes, furrowed his brows when the group finaly caught up to what he understood from the groups chatter, one of their preys. Turns out, the group was hunting a rather exotic and unique prey- beastkin children, aproximately twelve to fourteen years old. Adn ocne close enough they released the bloodhounds, and Rex learned their purpose now. The bloodhounds relentlesly chased after the children adn once they caught up, started to savagely tear the children apart.

Rex was no stranger to cruelty and torture, since he had already dabbled in the torture, but what he saw these noble children do left a rather disgusting taste in his mouth, especially when he learned of the crimes tose children had commited. One of the last children to fall was a boy with lizard features, who had managed to wound one of the hounds in his desperate attempts to fend the bloodthirsty beasts off. Now profusely bleeding out, and slowly succumbing to the embrace of death, a pained but clear question escaped his lips, aimed at the group watching his last moments with glee

"Why?"

A single word, filled with confusion, pain, regret and helpless anger. And the giggles from the group as he died made his end all the more harrowing. Boy died not recieving his answer, but Rex hear it.

"By the way, what was this ones crime?" One of the leading girls asked as she looked at the guards, who quickly fumbled with a few scrolls looking something up and answering in a quick manner.

"Sibling of a captured and executed forsaken from Howling forests, your exelency."

"Wow, Alexa, your daddy is incredible. How did they manage to send inquisitors there and retrieve these heretics?" another girl was sucking up to the girl in the lead, who calmly answered

"When your father is one of the twelve seats, many incredible feats can be achieved. Your family have to only try harder and be more devout, adn one day they will also produce a seat of their own."

Rex had to admit that while quite repulsive in character and beliefs, this Alexa had a lot of charisma and leadership, as well as looks. But what was more important was her position. A daughter of one of the twelve, teh ruling body of Echlisiarchy, and the cunts that both sanctioned and encouraged hunting and persecution of archons, as well as the ones who ordered and deployed both Elena Vex and now deceased Royce Rambert to Blythe to rope in and make him a brainless puppet for their cause.

Seeing just how rotten their young ladies were, Rex was now changing his plans greatly regarding Echlisiarchy. If he innitially was planning to only raid a few temples and cities or villages for enough personell to work in his establishement, now he was considering a full on campaign of retribution against them. And as he was already starting to draft multiple plans for his actions based on his current knowledge, he ensured that Alexa here would always be tracked by at least one of his ravens. seeing more and more of the ugliness of this state, he allowed his own inner monsters to come out and plan a rather fitting punishement of despair and pain for Echlisiarchy, and that involve quite a bit of those noble daughters and children of high ranking officials of Echlisiarchy.

Even during the few days he had to wait for the demon price arrival he learned more and more about the absolute depravity that took place in the upper echalons of said church. He had to admit, with all the dark thoughts of what if, during his life back on earth, he had never wandered in the dirrections he saw enacted by the holy men of Echlisiarchy. One would think torture chambers and rape to be the peak of their acts, but no, things like outdoor cooking during the rape. Starving monsters that are heavily drugged with aphrodisiacs and then unleased upon young girls and boys, to see if said people would be able to satisfy the monsters till exaustion, or would the monsters devour them during the act, and in case of a miracoulous survival of the human in such an act, the repeat of it, just to break and destroy that last sliver of hope for just a bit longer life. The only bitersweet consolation Rex could see was that the souls of the deceased were not chained down, and were wisped away to whereever they go, and if the literature he aquired from the merchant guild is correct, that would be the weel of reincarnation. He could only hope that the next life would be much better for the victims. Rex could also figure out that souls departing that were not drained, were much brighter, implying that Rex was robbing the souls of their gains during said life when he drains them. And if utilizing his ability to the fullest, he was could even mangle, maybe shatter them as well. He was not entirely sure anymore, as his previous experiments led him to believe.

He had to admit, souls were far too complex and esoterical for his abilities to affect them to such a deep level when he is far too weak, relatively speaking. But his new understandign opened another avenue of research and experimentation. Did he actually shatter Ramberts soul, or did he just mangle it, if even that. He needed to encounter a creature much more versed and sensitive to souls, and learn of his own limits through cooperation and insight of said creature.

'Another thing to the bucket list.' Rex sighed as he thought to himself. he would hate to let the fiends of Echlisiarchy off with just a slap on the wrist.'Still, the whorehouse project still is on, and it looks like I will have to expand the scope of my plans.' With his resolve firmed once again and greater retribution scheduled for said church, Rex focused his primary thoughts on developing his magic and spending more time with his girls. He also had to finaly claim Seriss and the other three Veran women, sine they were now in full human forms, and just thinking about sex with those beauties, especially Seriss, got Rex way too horny- a condition that was soon aliviated by two just as hungry elven women and a very curious catgirl, who could no longer take Ainas recent teasing and overexagerated happiness.

Rika was the first to admit her mistake in asuming Aina was overexagirating, once she woke up after the few hours they spent fucking. She laid there, embraced by both mother and daugher, still feeling full after the few times she was filled up during their session in bed and then in bath as they were cleaned for an after sex nap. Never had she though that after all she went through in the hands of those slavers and after the countless nights where she would wake up screaming, reliving her worst memories in the nightmares, and being comforted and soothed by Aina, she could once again enjoy the embrace of a man, and wait in anticipation for the next time. Never in her wildest dreams woudl she believe that being sold at that auction would not only save but also heal her and grant her a new family. She blushed at the thought that eventually she too would be a mother, if what Rex said about children was true once he was sure he had secured a safe enough enviroment for the girls.

The rest of the evening and night was spent in a similar manner, where Rex spent four hours pleasing multiple of his women, and then sleeping himself for an hour or so, then returning to his spell improvements and planning untill the time for breakfast come. There two great news suprised him. Both were increadibly pelasant, ensuring that his day would be even better than innitially asumed.

The first suprise was when everyone heard a loud yelp from one of the sauna rooms with a large pool inside. Rex imediatly calmed the girls in dining room, saying that he sensed no physical harm to the girl in question, nor were there any intruders in the mansion, so they just had to wait a bit and the girl in esution- Millie- would soon be here and explain what happened. And thrue to his words, in just a few minutes, a very energetic and super happy Millie sprinted in the room and hugged Rex all of a sudden. Then came a few minutes of mumbled and nonstop thanks to him from the exited girl.

"I dont think you should thank me so much for the sudden increase in your breasts" Rex spoke in a light manner, noticing that change in the girl the first as she came in teh dining room "Now I will have to start playing with them, since now i will not be able to hold back anymore." he added as he caressed the girls hair.

She bit her lip as she was hiding her face in his chest, then spoke very quietly, so quiet in fact even Rex did not catch it, so when she was asked to repeat herself she almost screamed out her previosu sentence "I'M READY! MAKE ME YOURS MASTER!"

Rex gently took her face in his arms and looked in her eyes, her face red from embarasment, but her tails were exitedly swaying behind her, all seven of them. An even greater smile bloomed on his face as he realized the crux of the matter.

"Congratualtions on becoming a true noble kitsune Millie." he said to the girl, who shed a few tears of happiness as her master congratulated her. Then Rex gently kissed her lips, a very brief and innocent kiss for the sweeet girl, leaned in and whispered in her ear

"Lets eat breakfast now, so I can eat you later." causing the kitsune to blush even harder and weakly nod to his words.

"We have a cause to celebrate. Millies bloodline had upgraded, as you can see from her seven tails." Rex spoke now to the entire room wit ha smile on his face, keeping the girl in his lap.

"Then I will add to the good news" Rashuun spoke once Rex was done.

"I have handed over my throne to my eldest, so now I too will always be around. Take good care of me sisters" she spoke with a grin on her face, causing quite a few giggles from the rest of the girls. It was quite amusing how Rashuun could act liek a young and innocent girl, despite her long life.

The rest of the breakfast was spent in a very positive and happy note, as the girls were chatting about all kind of miscelanious subjects. Once teh groupd started to leave the dining room, a gril from the maid core approached Rex, and spoke

"Master, there are a few men outside our mansion who have come to seek audience. The one leading the group introduced himself as master Airen of the mages guild. He also said that he has had the pleasure to exchange a few words with you. What are your orders?"

"Right, the auction. Yes, I have met the man." then he thought for a short while, and once he had brainstormed a little, he decided to listen to whatever teh man had to say "Sure, bring them to study room number three." then he turned around called for Izumi to join him, and asked Millie to prepare some decent tea. He was not going to spend any of his rare stocks, since the guests came unanounced adn he had nothing he desired from said guests. Sure they must have the most extensive magic library around, but he ahd enough affinity for his main elements to be bussy for years to come before he exausts his intuition natural developement in said fields.

Soon he reached his designated study room, where he took a comfortable position on one of the sofas, now in his full blood mage disguise with Izumi sitting right next to him in his embrace as she held her hands around his waist and rested her head on his chest. Looking from a side the two looked like a happily married couple, simply relaxing and enjoying each others presence, and they remained in said positionuntill a few minutes later a maid lead Master Airen and two other mages inside said room.

Master Airen wasted no time and quickly greeted both Rex and izumi, who had become somewhat famous lately as the spokesperson and ambasador of the blood mage, and seeing the peacefull and relaxed duo in each others embrace he realized that said woman is much more than just and employee. So after greetings were out of the way he quickly introduced his companions who were acompanying him, since the two mages held some sway in their organization. An earth mage by the name of Radicous, and fire mage Agustus. Both were masters of their respective fields and quite reknown across the continent.

"And what does master Airen and two other S class entities want from me?" Rex asked relaxedly, not leaving the pleasant embrace of Izumi "And what happened to that little colleague of yours who was acompanying you during the auction?" he asked remembering a presence of another blood mage alongside master Airen during the auction.

"Too much stress and paranoia got to him I am afraid. Our priests recomended a strong dose of relaxing medicine adn a change of scenary for a quite some time, but nothing trully dangerous in any other manner." master Airen responded with a light smile as the three mages were seated and served some tea, courtesy of Millie. Then they spent a few more minutes in a rather cozy silence as the guests enjoyed the fragnant and relaxing tea untill Rex asked once again

"I am quite busy person, so, for wthat purpose have you come, and why does it warrant the presence of two rather rude individuals." Rex had noticed the subtle but lecherous glances towards Millie the two masters ocasionally directed towards the girl. His words caused said two to slightly frown, then the fire mage spoke

"We have come to see if you are worthy of being extended the invitation to become a member of our great institution. I have to say, we find your manners and general actions quite lacking for now." The earth mage just noded his head in agreement with his coleague. They were part of two different fractions, but both were among the top members in said fractions, so Rex's relaxed and unphased attitude did not sit quite right with the two, especially with how young the man sounded.
