Chapter 61: Cost of audacity. Part 1

Rex woke up in the morning embraced by two happily sleeping kitsunes. Whith a light smile on his face he thought back on the previous night, and just how sweet and hardworking Millie was. Even though it was her first time, she tried her best and hardest to show just how much she loved her master, and how happy she was that he was the way he was. He was also quite suprised at her stamina and tenacity as well as her openness, when izumi sneaked in the room they were a few hours later, to get some love for herself. Millie, even while blushing profusely, still invited izumi to join them. His white haired kitsune shared a special bond with izumi, since they both were kitsunes and izumi had spent quite a bit of time together with Millie during her lessons in kitsune tea making art. The duo also had a very good understanding of each other as well as they worked good together. Still, they were no match for Rex, so they were exausted first, and after a quick shower they lied to sleep.

Rex was gently carresing both foxgirls as he was thinking and refining his immediate plans, when another question popped in his head 'Is that god peaking on my private time with the girls as well?' He sighed realising taht even if that were to be the case there was nothing he could do to change that anytime soon, but if that were to be the case he would hold a grudge, and one day, when he would be powerfull enough, he would gouge said deities eyes out a few times as punishement. Yes, that felt liek a proper response, since therewas no way a god could not regenerate eyes a few times over. Its the thought that counts, Rex reasoned to himself. He could not consider even plotting to kill said god since he had a gut feeling that no god was interfering in the mortal world precisely because of said god, so its death would be counterproductive.

The rest of the mornig was more ussual, with a few hours of his meditation, a bit of love sharing with his girls, messsing around with Hana, much to Izumis glee. Said purple haired kitsune was doomed to suffer from embarasing and akward outfits and constatnt teasing from both Izumi and her master. But karma was a bitch, and she was recieving her just desserts for all the things she did in the academy times. All she could do was grit her teeth and soldier through.

Truth be told, She had it much better than anyone in her position could ever hope to have. She was not tortured in the conventional ways, no breaking of her body or mind happened. She was reserved solely for her masters carnal desires, when he would finaly decide to indulge, and she was recieving food worthy of emperors during her meals. If she were to be given such an offer when she kew nothing of her masters she would have most likely agreed to it, and to have it instead of a mere existance as a sex slave or worse, was heaven in comparison to the alternative.

The three new kitsunes could also see just how happy Mille was conversing with Izumi and the elven duo, the blush and slightly akward gait of the white faired fox a clear indication of her last nights activities, if the loud moans were not enough due to the half open door izumi did not close when she sneaked in, to get some additional love from her man. Rex was ofcourse aware of her action, just as he was aware that Izumi had left the door to the kitsune room open on purpose. She was being a mischievous young lady, and Rex could not blame her for it. Why should he feel any shame, if his sweet Izumi wanted to mess with the other three foxes, proving just how great Rex was in pleasuring his women.

As their meal was coming to an end, a ring on Rex finger glowed in a dim light, indicating that a connection was requested. This was something Rex had come up with during one of his theory crafting session when delving deep into his space affinity. With both his tallent and existing example of his world shard, he atempted to create a small room of seperate dimension, that was connected by several void stones atuned to a very spefific frequesncy and the mentioned miniature dimension that was anchored in a rather small sized diamond. The result was quite spectacular. Since the dimension was quite small, just as intended, when one poured mana in one of teh connected voidstones, a connection was established, and the other gems were shining in a very dim light, and if mana were to be poured in any other void stone, a two way connection could be established, where no physical object could be transmited, however voice could. Rex had effectively created a sort of a chat group call for everyone in possesion of the corresponding frequency and bonding void stone. Once he was sure of its efficiency and functionality, he created a few sets, and one of such sets was given out, voidstone each to Eredar, Brogni and Victor. The trio were good business partners of Rex as well as friends, and Rex reasoned it was a much more convinient method of comunication than eitehr going to the others mansions or business locations in hopes to catch their desired friend, adn hoping they were not engaged in a very important discussion already. Now, all they had to do was make a 'call' and agree on a time and place for their talks or planning. Rex also gave one voidstone of this set to Izumi, since she had taken over his role of planning and negotiating for benefits in conjunction with the three men.

Confirming that it was Victor who innitiated the call, Rex inquired what was the matter and was swiftly informed that there were a few demon princes who had just arrived in the city adn were asking for his whereabouts, since they had extremely important things to discuss regarding something Rex currently was in possesion of. Victor also added that said princes came off as extremely arrogant, but sicne they were very powerfull, he had to be extremely carefull.

"Send them to the hallowed dome." Rex spoke after a brief moment of consideration. "I loateh teh idea of messing up my own backyard, and I have a glaring suspicion that if that were to happen, Tigra and Crystal would find a way to chew on some of their skulls." . And with Victors acceptance and cutting of connection, Rex returned his focus back to the dining room where all the girls were still waiting on him.

"Rashuun, our fat sheep have arrived. Shall we go and get rich?" then he looked at Izumi "I will obviously need your help as well, to maximize our profits. We need to ensure that bets are secured from all three sides adn that they cant back down after agreeing even if they know they are royally fucked. They had the gall to asume the ycoudl come and get Rashun from me, so we must make them bleed for their arrogance and stupidity."

Then Rex crumbled the token he recieved from Airen, sending the old schilar a signal that would ensure said mage would soon arrive at Rex's mansion for the promised exibition.Izumi had an evil smirk on her face, all manner of plans and ploys running through her head to maximize the profit and humiliate said demons even more. Then REx spoke to the rest of his girls

"Anyone else wants to withenss the schooling of soem arrogant princes?" and to his question almost al of his core group expressed their desire to see his magnificent performance. Rex slightly slightly sighed, seeing teh entusiasm of his women

"So be it. Everyone but Val should then come with us." he looked at Val who was confused why she was singled out of his fun "I need you to bring master Airen to the hallowed dome where the duels will take place. Cant very well leave teh scholar alone here adn waiting for gods knows how long for us to come back only for him to not witness the spectacle."

Understanding dawning on teh orcish valkirie, she smiled, nodding "As you wish master."

Rex had told the girls in his core group that they did not have to adress to him as master, the new kitsunes not including, but most of the girls who were his slaves still insisted on calling him that. However their way of speaking the word was different for him. It was spoken wit haffection and a hint of playfulness, a slight tone of desire and openness for his advances always present, so he just gave up and went with teh flow of hsi girls. If they were kinky enough to enjoy such games, who was he to deny them the pleasure. They gave him plenty, so teh least he could do was return the favour in as many ways as he could. That reminded him to emphasize his need to Brogni for more wolfkin women with cheff training. Hsi harem would grow and he needed more help to give Aisha more time to spend with him. He liked his cheff very much, but the girl liked to cook a lot and she took her primary mission very seriously, so unless he could give said girl more help of similar level than her, she could not spend more time with Rex.

As they left for the hallowed dome, Rex did just that. He contacted Brogni and explained his needs, requesting that the dwarf contacts the wolf tribes if necessary. He needed Aisha to have more free time, and he did not mind going a bit savage to ensure his goals. If the wolf tribes agreed- good, if not, he would have to do a small raiding of his own. Luckaly, Brogni was well aware of Aishas tendencies and the circumstances so the dwarf readily agreed and also asked Rex to come by once he is free to brand a few more of his recently aquired luxury slaves. Something Rex agreed easily to and noted that he will contact Brogni as soon as he is done with the small errand he had to do now. While somewhat entertaining, Rex reasoned that the time of his friends was better spent on a productive effort, rather than watching him handing some beating to a few too arrogant and self important demon princes.

When Rex and his entourage arrived at the Hallowed Dome they were greeted by a rather peculiar sight. Outside, in front of the entrance stood four groups of individuals, among which one was Victor and a few of his ussual attendants. Rex was not suprised to see him here, after all those demon princes were SS class entity each, and that level of might did not roam smaller cities like Blythe fequently. While it was growing at a rapid pace now, all thanks to Rex, and the earth grade meat that Eredar was selling only in this city, also the courtesy of Rex alter persona, Blythe was still relatively small city in comparison to other, much older and better positioned capitals and greater trade cities. So it was no wonder Victor wanted to ensure his city remained in one piece, with this level of powerhouses possibly butting heads. Thankfully, they had a few grand arenas recently constructed in the city, a courtesy of Mol Amar and Avantun clans.

Mol Amar was a clan of dwarves who were trully neutral. Their speciality and bloodline penchant for earth magic made them terrific giga structure builders. If one needed a grand castle or a new arena where to bash some skulls in, Mol Amar was the clan you contracted for said construction. They always overdelivered no matter what was requested.

In the same manner as Mol Amar, the dark elves of Avantun clan were the absolute pinnacle of spatial grand arrays. If the sage turtles were the best in ringmaking, then Avantun would be the go to group if one needed a space extension or an arena that could take insane punishment and not damage either the building it is in, or the surrounding enviroment, providing the best possible enviroment for powerfull individuals to duke it out while being spectated by a crowd of bystanders.

Hallowed Dome was just recently finished arena of great proportions that had not yet been utilised for its intended purpose. Victor wanted to do a stress test of the formation, and being aware of it Rex generously offered his coming confrontation to serve as such. Victor of course understood it as soon as Rex told him to bring these demon princes there, and being the pragmatic leader that Victor was, he took the oportunity with a smile. The sooner a stress test was done, the sooner he could start raking in cash by organizing figts and tournaments to entertain the nobles that had moved here in hopes of encountering and fostering connections to either the blood mage or the misterious group supplying teh earth grade meat to be sold in Blythe.

As for the three groups of demons, with each led by their respective prince, Rex cared little once he had noted their energy levels and power. Contrary to Rashuuns fear, all three were barely innitial SS class entities, and as such could not provide much in terms of resistance, should Rex go all out. Heck, even just his mage mode would most likely shred their sorry asses once he started to utilize his entire arsenal. He could comfortably do short range teleportation with his ever growing mastery over space, and a proper super heated mana blade was extremely dangerous to any entity with lesser mana capacity than Rex, which basicly meant anything he encountered so far, including the three demons. It did not help that Rex had been utilizing a few of his paralel thinking processes to supress his mana and life energy aura for a while now, increasing his controll and precision over it quite drasticaly. The unfortunate thing for his adversaries was that the more Rex worked on it the less and less powerfull he would look to those who observed him, since either maan capacity or aura fluctuation adn density around an individual was almost always used to measure ones strenght.

Rex was an exception in that regard, since his sight allowed him to percieve the energy dirrecty, not the aura and mana leakage individuals had, thus protecting him from making the same mistake as the trio waiiting for him were commiting right now. From their point of view, the archon next to the former succubi queen was nothing more than a A class entity, something not worth their time, and only Rashuun was the sole purpose they are even willing to spend any words whatsoever in a coversation with such a weakling who they do not aim to add to their respective groups. That was a rather specific quirk of the demons who relied so hevily on their raw might and cruel ideologies. They would much rather break whomever they desired to the point where they just become hollow shells of their previous selves, and become a pretty doll for said demons to display. Only the most cunning and deceptive of their kind like succubi, incubus or demons of deception and lies would value the services a blood mage could provide.

The ridiculing sneers and snickering from the demons made Rashuun frown. She was walking right next to Rex right now, since she was the main reason said demon princes were here in the first place.

"Why do they seem so overconfident?" she asked in a hushed tone to Rex, whose facial expression was calm and emotionless. She was well aware that Rex was unreasonably powerfull, and could not grasp the reasons behind the demons overconfidence. Rex deployed a small maan barrier, ensuring that their conversation could not be percieved by anyone outside of it, and then he spoke in a calm manner, answering to her question

"Because, as far as they can percieve, I am nothing more than just and A class entity, so I asume they are quite sure of themselves and angry that they were forced to come here for such a weak existance."

"What? How?" she aked incredulusly "No way!" then she understood the heart of the matter as soon as her initial words had already left her mouth "You are supressing your mana and aura, are you not?" then seeing his slight and devious smile, she could not help but giggle. Her man was indeed devious, and she liked him more for it. Just having power often led such people to be used and abused by the more devious people around them, but if the powerfull individual was also smart, their eventual prosperity and security was only a question of time.

'How wonderfull is life' Though Rashuun as she regathered herself to look slightly somber and displeased by their currrent situation, and noticing her in the proper acting guise, Rex dispelled hsi barrier, making it seem as if they had not spoken one bit and Rashuun changing from lightly smiling to now brooding figure, when she was in the presence of the demon princes.

With pieces set, and actors behind the scenes already being in their places, Rex calmed himself down with a few mental prompts, and with Izumi taking his other side, becoming the main negotiator for the greatest benefits together with Rashuun, he was prepeared to scam and then mercilessly beat the livign shit out of these three arrogant asholes for the audacity to asume they could even dream of having his women for themselves. 'Should I go and cuck them hard in response for their audacity? Or should I fuck their mothers, to send the message afterwards?'' Rex mused as his group stood when they had reached the waiting groups.
