Shortly after Blood God Hahrn executed a unique blood sacrificial art to escape an army of ghosts due to his fear of being discovered by Ailehr, he suddenly realized that he had made a simple but major mistake.
The mistake? Now, Rein was aware of his presence. The real Beincen would not have infiltrated the Harvest Devil Sect alone. As such, once Rein informed the Hall of Heroes or the noble houses of this fact, of Beincen being possessed by a devil…
He regretted his attempt to block Rein’s path. He had done so because he desired to quickly satisfy the requirements for his complete possession of Beincen’s body. Sometimes, minor mistakes lead to major consequences.
Since he chose to block Rein’s path, he needed to take Rein’s life. Yet his blood blade had seemingly passed through Rein’s body. Now, he had no choice but to escape from the maddening sea of ghosts. He was reminded that despite his original high position, there remained many unknowns in the world of advancers.
It was a pity that these ghosts had gone mad. Otherwise, he would be able to repeatedly engage Rein, slowly developing an understanding of that odd movement technique, and perhaps even copy it for himself. At least, that was Blood God Hahrn’s current assumptions.
He immediately decided that he had to return to House Larne, and his mind was quickly coming up with a plan to counter the revelation that Beincen was possessed by a devil. His mind turned to Rekcen, Beincen’s younger brother. He sinisterly smirked, having come upon a solution. He would take Rekcen’s life and turn House Larne into his own force.
As for Rein-- this youngling can be dealt with once a better opportunity presents itself.
____________________________________________
Ailehr spat out blood at the very same instance of when she lost control of the dwarven ghosts. These living spirits had been easily subdued before due to their lack of consciousness.
She was originally in the sky, flying in pursuit of Rein and Suey. The backlash from the dwarven ghosts’ regained consciousness sent her aura into chaos, and she fell like a comet back into the palm indentation.
As an outer realm devil, Ailehr had originally moved through the ancient battlefield, using her spiritual sense-- her aurae tendrils, to subdue the mindless ghosts of each area. This formed a connection that allowed Ailehr to give simple commands from afar.
It should have remained so, until somehow, the dwarves’ latent minds reawakened due to an outside and unseen factor.
She was already on the brink of death due to her injuries from fighting the telekinetic elder, Bienze, of the Uni Sect. Though originally suppressed, those internal injuries now reopened, sending pain and fear through Ailehr’s body.
The members of the Harvest Devil Sect stared wide-eyed at their struggling sect leader.
“Go! I will personally reward whoever that can capture that… leaping man! The best of aurae-infused blood! A guaranteed opportunity under Devil God Hehrn!” Ailehr ordered as she sent stacks of the ghost-repelling talisman into every individual’s hands, a whirling paper storm.
Every once in a while, a few talented members would be sent into that hellish realm belonging to Devil God Hehrn. For the members of Harvest Devil Sect, this was a golden opportunity.
The many devilish fallen advancers immediately dashed up the platforms zigzagging up the cliff walls, combining into a sinister and dark wave that crashed upwards.
As for Ailehr, she repeatedly tapped her fingers at various points on her chest, infusing aurae at specific locations to suppress her injuries again.
She cursed the Uni Sect’s Bienze who had injured her to this state. If not for him, she would not have had to limit her powers and thus fail to keep an eye on her Sect and prisoners.
___________________________________________
Once the dwarven ghosts began battling the human ghosts, Rein immediately continued his escape.
He did not understand why those dwarves had suddenly gained such a clear mind.
Then, he recalled that supposedly, other humanoid races eventually melded themselves into the human race. The modern human race could not be truly said to be the original human race, but rather, a race with primary human origins combined with at least one or perhaps a mix of other humanoid races.
He then recalled how his family had been kicked out of their original family while he was a young child. He could not even remember the name of that clan…
It all felt extremely odd yet connected. Originally, Rein assumed that he was simply too young to remember that original family’s name. He began to wonder if perhaps, his memory of said original family may have been tampered with. After all, try as he might, he could not recall any details of his original family-- just the feeling that he and his parents had been unjustly treated.
When it came to memory tampering arts, generally speaking, they weren't very effective against grown adults. Adults often have solidified personalities built on many experiences and memories, as well as desire and will in their souls. Thus, any hole in memory would be easily detected and overcome, in most cases.
As for children, or adults under torture? Memory altering arts were usually effective.
Regardless, this was neither the time nor space to consider this potential implication. Rein knew he had to focus on escaping with Suey.
As he leaped repeatedly using his ‘Lightning Frog Leg Release’ combination art, he was followed by that monkey-like devil transformation. With the ghosts in chaos, the devil transformation of a man was freed to continue his pursuit of Rein.
“Rein!” Suey whispered urgently with her eyes fixed at the devilish being behind.
Rein glanced behind him to notice that the devil being had slowed its pace as dark aurae swirls gathered into an energy ball at its mouth.
He widened his eyes as he swore under his breath. That devilish man, prior to his transformation, was not yet capable of launching aurae skills at a distance from his body-- he was but a shell realmed devil.
It seems that after this devil transformation, the devilish monkey-like being was now capable of it!
Rein did not question exactly why this was possible-- there are numerous arts with unique methods to bypass the so-called limitations through trickery.
That dark aurae concentration energy was shot forth at him, and Rein could only brace himself.
He knew that he could not use his ‘dark mirror’ ability. That dark mirror ability, though heavenly, also had its weaknesses as do all magical arts. If he used it on only parts of his body, the blast from the dark energy ball would deliver force to undefended parts of his body, while passing through the dark mirror sections.
This could lead to a self-shearing of his body. Rein imagined his whole body covered in a dark mirror while his head was exposed. Under this situation, his head would be struck by the blast while her body suffered no force. He would effectively be decapitating himself.
As for covering himself in a full dark mirror-- that was not possible since he had yet to break into the shell realm. Even if he was in the shell realm, that would be reckless. A full dark mirror over his body would also isolate his own sensing, connection and interaction towards his surroundings. He would drift into the earth.
Most importantly, he carried Suey in his arms.
The dark concentrated energy ball expanded as it travelled, and Rein altered his direction as he exploded off a leg, lightning discharge thunderous against the ground.
The world shook as the dark ball’s energy erupted and created a vacuum of silence that lasted for a few heartbeats.
Rein felt a force strike his back, sending him tumbling across the ground as Suey also rolled after falling out of his arms, pale in fear.
A hot burning pain covered Rein’s back, but he had no time to ascertain the state of his injuries as he struggled back onto his feet.
He picked up Suey again and with another ‘Lightning Frog Leg Release’, he was out of the bloody mist that layered the ancient battlefield! As luck would have it, the dark energy blast had actually thrown them closer to the edge of the ancient battlefield.
Once his surroundings cleared, Rein steadied his heart as he prepared to activate his teleportation skill. His vision was no longer obstructed by the fog.
He was naturally worried that his origin ability would drain him of his aurae now that he was carrying another body-- Suey. He was drained to the point of losing his consciousness when he accidentally dragged the half-dead mercenary along as he attempted to escape Wolf Syrup Town on that fateful night.
“Remove your protective aura,” Rein urgently said to Suey. All advancers subconsciously wrap their bodies in their own aurae, to prevent another’s infiltration into their bodies. Rein, however, needed to extend his own aurae into Suey’s. The reason for this was that Rein needed to protect Suey from the spatial corruption energies with his origin spatial aurae. That was how that half-dead mercenary dragged through the teleportation actually died, covered in that dark chaotic energy.
Suey was somewhat confused but did as Rein asked. Rein forcefully extended his spatial aurae into Suey’s body. That did not mean Rein was covering Suey in a dark mirror, which required a specific organization of his spatial aurae. Rein was simply ensuring that Suey was layered with his unstructured spatial energies.
Forcefully, because Rein had yet to fully step into the shell realm. As such, only with struggle could he extend a part of his aurae shell through touch.
Suey was breathing deeply, her cheeks flushed as she allowed this invasive aurae to wrap around her body loosely. For a woman, allowing a man’s aurae to enter the body meant an extreme level of intimacy.
Well, Rein and Suey had certainly engaged in the act of copulation many times already, but this was certainly a new sensation.
Suey’s eyes were filled with trust as she observed Rein’s concentrated and determined expression.
“Brace your mind,” Rein said as he activated his origin ability, his eyes becoming jet-black while fixed in the horizon. His elbows supported Suey while his hands formed a dark sphere.
A miniscule bzzt sounded. Rein and Suey vanished.
The two reappeared far into the distance, entering an area with a few indistinct hills and a small patch of forest. They now stood beside a thick oak tree.
These sort of patches existed all throughout the Western Wilderness. This area was once a vibrant forest until repeated wars emptied many patches.
Rein panted heavily. He estimated that his aurae reserves had dropped by a third. Combined with his short struggle against the devilish man prior, he only had fifty percent of his aurae reserves left.
Suey’s eyes were wide in shock and joy. It was obvious that despite her future seeing abilities, Rein’s origin ability was not something she knew of. Future seeing arts are indeed limited in some shape or form.
Seeing that Rein seemed somewhat exhausted, she immediately knew what she had to do.
She lowered herself from Rein’s arms and a pink mist rose to encapsulate her hand. She then slipped her hand under Rein’s rags before he could react.
His manhood did not take long to rise under the effect of the pink mist combined with the ministrations of Suey’s soft and dainty hand.
“You…” Rein was speechless. While he certainly enjoyed their sort of sexual dynamic roleplay, he always saw it as simply a temporary period of fun and play. This was hardly the time to engage in such play.
“Mmm… well, my celest,” Suey whispered with a coy smile. “With the ‘Sole Cauldron Art’, you will be able to also employ my aurae as your own. We will be able to teleport out of danger much more rapidly.” She had already overcome her initial shock of Rein’s origin ability.
Inwardly, she also discovered that she quite enjoyed seeing Rein wrestle against his own rising desires at a time when he needed to focus on matters of escape. She was already planning to adopt a similar approach in the future for her own satisfaction…
As Rein’s knotted manhood rose, having been transformed by his draconic tempering arts, Suey could not resist dropping down onto her knees, puckering up her red lips to give it a worshipping kiss.
It was at this moment that Rein truly realized why he would never be able to resist or abandon this woman. Her hazel eyes displayed a fanatical devotion as her silky raven hair swayed.
That jagged scar upon her right cheek, though covered by a sparkling blue paint sourced from the Golden Desert tribes, might take away from some of her beauty.
Still, Rein knew those devoted eyes and her willingness to give her body to him was impossible to ever betray.
Perhaps Rein began to simply understand himself better. He realized that he was the type of man that desired a sort of extreme devotion, a devotion that compels him to find it worth putting his life on the line for.
And, of course… Suey’s willingness to perform rather debaucherous acts for him… that represented a part of her devotion to him.
As for why Suey had chosen him? The woman had employed her fate-related magical arts to identify him through visions of the future.
Suey’s devoted gaze locked against Rein’s eyes. She could see Rein barely controlling his lewd desires. Yet behind that lewdness also now existed a deep tenderness. It was two forces constantly battling against one another in his mind.
She restrained a bubbling happiness in her heart as she jumped back onto her feet, wrapping her arms around Rein’s much larger muscle body before sheathing Rein’s sword with her lower lips.
Rein slid into her wet folds. She had molded herself to him due to her devotion.
Reni circulated his aurae and activated the teleportation skill again. A single breath and they appeared over a meadow.
Another breath passed and they reentered a new patch of forest.
“Why haven’t you taken advantage of the aurae in my body, my celest?” Suey asked. She could sense that her aurae remained full within her body.
Rein himself was shocked to discover that with the ‘Sole Cauldron Art’ activated, he had no need.
“With the ‘Sole Cauldron Art’ activated, the drain in my aurae has become negligible…” he muttered as he thought of a possible explanation.
His eyes soon widened at a possibility that could be considered demeaning.
“My teleportation ability carry my clothing, weapons and the lot along with no additional aurae usage. With the ‘Sole Cauldron Art’ activated… perhaps you are now considered an object in my possession… and thus there is no additional aurae needed to bring you along…” As Rein said this, he stroked Suey’s head gently.
“Mmm… that’s good, my celest,” Suey huskily whispered into his right ear. “Since I am now only your possession… you have to freedom to use me as you please~”
Of course, this was just a bit of extreme roleplay that played to their desires. By now, it was impossible for their enemies to catch up.
“My younger sister has already been… bred by you, yes?” Suey soon asked as they teleported again.
“I… well…” Rein sighed but realized there was no avoiding it. “Indeed. She was adamant. Insisted that it was her duty and a ritual behind your origins.”
“There's no need to feel guilty, my celest,” Suey softly said, though her voice wavered ever so slightly. “However, I have the right to your seed as well.”
Rein’s eyes widened again. Indeed, Suey certainly had the right to demand this of him. In fact, he could not deny her request-- after all, he had seeded her younger twin sister first despite Suey having established herself as his partner.
“This ritualist magic… its purpose is…?” Rein was becoming increasingly curious of Suey’s origins. From Jory, Rein gained the knowledge that the twin sisters are temple head priestesses. The older would birth warriors for the nation, while the younger would birth a new pair of twin sisters for the next generation of head priestesses .
“Rein… Me and my sister. We come from a lineage. Our lineage is hunted by the very Goddess of Fate!” Suey’s explanation caused Rein to feel chills to the bone.
“In order to confuse that Goddess of Fate, this practice was devised. Since me and my twin sister are essentially identical in most respects, it makes it difficult for the Goddess of Fate to trace our actions and movements. Her powerful art, if performed at a vast distance, can become somewhat confused by twin existences. Her magical art attempts to alternately lock on to two targets, and thus becomes… confused.”
“It is only through this that we are able to escape her net. Even so…my mother and aunt…” Suey was sorrowful. “It is only effective for a period of time. Eventually, the Goddess of Fate, through other methods, will always successfully track us down, ending a generation’s twin head priestesses. Occasionally, the younger sister may escape, for a time…”
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
“As for our sharing of the same man’s seed-- that, too, is necessary to confuse the Goddess of Fate. Since both twin existences carry the same man’s seed, her magical art once again fails to differentiate our twin existences, resulting in its… befuddled effectiveness.”
Rein nodded as his horizons of advancer arts widened once again.
“Wait,” Suey suddenly pressed her palm across Rein’s muscular back to draw his attention. “Head in that direction, towards that patch of forest.”
“... Is there a reason for us to seek shelter there…?” Rein frowned. The quicker they returned to the Hall of Heroes, the better.
“Lyne’s escape path is most likely to pass through that forest patch,” Suey simply stated.
“You…” Rein narrowed his eyes. Indeed, he was suspicious why Suey had traded herself into Ailehr’s hands. Yes, her trade gave Xeeseir his freedom back. Still, it was somewhat of an odd trade. Now, it has become connected with Lyne!
“Explain!” If not for Suey’s devotion to him, Rein would have already lost his cool at being forcefully drawn into this ploy.
Suey bit her lips. She knew Rein would be displeased by her actions. Yet from her perspective, she had no choice.
“I… If I requested you to rescue Lyne… would you have done it?” Suey asked.
When Rein was faced with this question, he immediately realized he would not have done so. His relationship with Lyne wasn’t much. As for Lyne’s approach to him sexually, Rein very much understood it to be a reaction, an escape from the Second Prince of the Dingien Clan.
Though uncommon, it was not necessarily rare. There is a long history of those being pressured into political marriages to… lash out in some shape or form.
“And even if you accepted… would you have been able to escape with her?” Suey posed a second question.
Rein sighed. He would not have been able to do so. Suey was connected to him through the ‘Sole Cauldron Art’, of ancient origins, unique and questionable qualities, easily misused.
These unique qualities was how Rein pinpointed the Harvest Devil Sect’s location. It was also this unique quality that allowed Suey to be a free passenger of Rein’s origin ability.
“Now, we have served as a proper distraction. Ailehr’s focus was no doubt on me, thus giving Lyne a proper opportunity for escape,” Suey added.
“And if I explained to you my ploy… it very well may lead to you making a different choice. Such as well…” she whispered seductively, “kidnapping and imprisoning me underneath your weight to prevent my offer of body possession to Ailehr.”
Rein grunted. Though dissatisfied, he could not deny the truth in Suey’s words. But that only led to another question.
“Why do you desire to rescue Lyne?” Rein had a feeling that this was a far more important question. One that would reveal certain secrets of this world.
“When the Gods fell, so came the Age of Darkness. And out of the Age of Darkness rose the demon beasts, with the dragons, previous servants of the fallen gods, believing themselves to be the just inheritor of the realms.”
“The five true humanoid races, born with intelligence and comprehension yet without bloodline power, were severely disadvantaged and thus easily enslaved, treated as sources of intelligence for the demon beasts.”
“But the demon beasts weren’t one single pillar of thought. The leaders of the bird races, the phoenix and the three-legged crow, sought to inject their own bloodline into humanity.”
“The black tortoise, disappointed in the action of the dragons, abandoned the realms, choosing to drift in chaotic space for eternity. His followers are now led by the crystal-conched kraken.”
“Unfortunately, the other demon beasts would not stand for the actions of the phoenix race. They could not act against such a powerful origin being, and thus targeted the humans underneath their protective wings.”
“Then… the Xuere Clan. And Lyne…” Rein’s eyes became serious.
“Yes,” Suey said. “They are one of those ancient clans that managed to escape cleansing. Their connection is true. They claim to have stolen a fallen ice phoenix blood, and none can prove that to be false. Lyne carries a connection to the phoenix race. She cannot fall.”
“Fall?” These words twisted Rein’s heart.
“Yes,” Suey shook her head slowly. “In my visions of the future, she does not make any appearance in the upper realms. However, any accomplished existence will sooner or later, make a name for themselves in the upper realms. That can only mean something led to her end.”
Rein’s hands had become somewhat sweaty and clammy through this talk. He finally realized that Suey was making moves on a huge chessboard that included all the realms and races. And had effectively dragged him into this whirlpool.
No, Rein corrected himself. Perhaps it was wrong for him to think this, for he was already a man connected to Gent and Dragonknight Zelli.
However, Rein was still nervous. His guts told him that Suey was on the cusp of flipping this chessboard, and he would be the so-called blade!
Once they reached the patch of forest that Suey had identified, the two hid and waited.
After half a day, sounds of two bladed crossing grated Rein’s ears. Lyne appeared, draped in a slightly oversized black robe of the Harvest Devil Sect. She had no doubt killed a member and taken his robes to camouflage herself in the crowd before escaping.
Surprisingly, pursuing her was not a member of the Harvest Devil Sect, but rather, a man wearing the regal servant garb of the Dingien Clan! The regal clothing was of vibrant crimson scales surrounded by a sea of golden-yellow leaves. The Dingien Clan carried stolen dragon blood, rewarded long ago in their participation in vanquishing the Origin Dragon, which gave birth to the Age of Humanity.
Rein glanced around, and discovered that luckily, this was their only enemy.
Lyne raised her sword high with both hands as a shadow of an ice phoenix formed behind her back, its icy aurae gathering into her sword. She slashed down at the man with a wide forehead and crooked nose.
That man’s graying hair fluttered in the air as he raised his sword while a snake-like aurae-formed creature curled around his arm and protected his sword. Unlike Lyne, he only used one arm to wield the sword.
The two swords clashed, sending air billowing and some of Lyne’s icy energies were scattered, freezing the originally trembling branches of the surrounding trees.
And yet, as she attempted to withdraw her sword for a second swing, she discovered that the snake-form curling around the man’s sword had reached out two claws to lock her sword firmly in place!
She injected a far denser icy wave into her sword, and though the claws of that snake-like aurae concentration now had a frosty surface, it also did not break.
Most shockingly, the man had successfully clashed against her with the power of just a single right arm, and his left hand was already reaching forward for Lyne’s throat!
Lyne was filled with despair. If she abandoned her weapon, it would not be long before she would be captured by this man, a servant of the Second Prince.
How unlucky! For an unknown reason, the Second Prince sent a servant early to check on the Harvest Devil Sect. That was how she ended up in combat with this man after sneaking off once Ailehr gave the command for all to pursue the leaping man that is Rein.
The man’s left hand clawed around Lyne’s delicate neck and Lyne could feel air being squeezed out of her body. Not only that, the contact allowed the man to begin attempting to inject his own aurae to pierce past Lyne’s pure white protection shell defense. After, he would be able to use his aurae to completely subdue her.
Well. How could Rein and Suey stand by and watch?
With a soft sizzling noise, Rein-in-rags with the completely nude Suey reappeared right behind this manservant of the Second Prince.
The man simply could not respond, with his sword locked against Lyne’s and his left hand around Lyne’s throat.
Suey disconnected herself from Rein and hopped onto the man’s shoulders as she performed a neck lock with her exquisite long and slender legs.
Meanwhile, Rein reached both his hands forward and grasped onto the man’s elbows as he placed a knee against the man’s spine.
Lyne was completely flabbergasted, but only part of her astonishment originated from the two’s appearance. Her reaction mainly stemmed from the fact that Suey was completely in the nude while attempting to finish this manservant of the Second Prince.
The truth is that Suey had given all her belongings to her twin sister prior to dealing with Ailehr. As for Rein? He left his belongings in the Halls’ central outpost, worried that his spatial pouch might give away his identity.
They naturally had no time to gather any additional pieces of clothing on their escape. And Rein, obviously did not have the mind to ogle Suey’s attractive bare form during their escape.
Anyhow, with their combined hold, the man lost grasp of Lyne and fell onto his knees. This allowed Rein to further exert his strength.
Rein knew that his current advantage, in terms of finishing off enemies, was his unique draconic strength.
It proved to be true.
This manservant of the Second Prince was currently wrapped in a crimson-scaled aurae shell around his body, a body enhancing shell that made him the most physically powerful advancer in the shell realm under the Second Prince. Yet, his arms were slowly bent backward despite his best attempts to resist Rein’s force.
The man grunted in pain as with a final pull, his shoulders were broken by Rein, with his arms having been pulled backward to an inhumane degree.
This gave Suey a window of opportunity to pick up the man’s dropped sword.
Meanwhile, Rein coated his fists with the power of his draconic lightning, and began pummeling the man’s body. It did not take long before that crimson-scaled aurae shell cracked then shattered.
Suey swung the sword, and the man was easily beheaded with his shell protection broken by Rein’s brute force.
Crimson blood splashed, creating a few dashes of blood from Suey’s narrow waist, down and across her gleaming legs.
Rein could not help but take a moment to run his eyes up and down Suey’s petite and lithe form. The dash of blood certainly added a degree of eroticism…
“Let’s go,” he then determinedly said. The body and blood of this man would attract attention. They needed to find another patch of forest to rest and recover. Preferably a water source to clean themselves.
“Wait,” Lyne said. Rein raised an eyebrow as Lyne pulled the Harvest Devil Sect robe over her head and discarded it onto the dead manservant. She, too, was now completely in the nude as well!
Rein could not help but ogle her more athletic form, a sturdier frame with wider hips and toned body with barely visible lines of her musculature.
Then, of course, her red and puffy nipples, still with those rings pierced through them.
Suey’s hand covered her mouth, with eyes filled with mirth.
As Rein ran his eyes across her body, Lyne was filled with a haughty sort of happiness. She was, of course, feeling a bit competitive against Suey. She began shifting her weight from one side to another while wrapping her arms around her ample breasts.
She quickly calmed her mind regarding how she was to compete against Suey. Her brief interaction with Rein while imprisoned had given her an idea that very much fitted her own personality.
Frankly, Lyne was always more of a cold and withdrawn person. However, due to the position of the Xuere Clan, she was forced to restrain her iciness.
As the only descendent of the main family line of Xuere, and with the Xuere Clan the leading force to defend against the Western Wilderness, Lyne was forced to engage politically and restrain her iciness, which was naturally offputting to other nobles.
Lyne was also slated to lead the future forces under the Xuere Clan. Once again, she was forced to restrain her iciness such that the soldiers of the Xuere Clan saw her as a benevolent and kind leader.
It was due to these factors that most carried a manufactured impression of Lyne-- that of a cool demeanor.
Lyne now no longer cared about these expectations. After all, she had been captured, tortured, abused and nearly politically used by the Second Prince.
She was reminded of Rein consuming that bowl of disgusting and vomit-inducing human meat, sharing in her pain.
She suddenly had a feeling that Rein would not demand her to restrain her iciness. In fact, the dragon between his thighs might even appreciate her true nature.
Lyne went on her tiptoes and swayed her hips, her tits bouncing as she sauntered towards Rein’s left side.
Suey was meant to be Ailehr’s replacement body, so she had been kept fairly clean. Lyne’s body, however, was layered in dirt and stains. Still, Rein could see that underneath it, her porcelain skin was lovely and combined perfectly with her now snow-white hair in an ethereal aura. Even her eyes now carried a whitish silvery hue to them.
“You degenerate jerk,” she haughtily said. “Do you think my noble body, of the ancient and illustrious Xuere Clan, is for you to examine and judge?” Though she said this, she made no attempt to cover herself up.
Suey rolled her eyes as she pressed herself against Rein’s right arm.
Rein initially wasn’t sure of what to make of Lyne’s tone and her new approach, but he quickly realized what Lyne’s play was. He was more than happy to cooperate. He was reminded of his promise to seed her, which would allow her to escape her current political situation while remaining in the Xuere Clan.
“Hmph,” Rein exaggeratedly grunted as he reached forth with his left hand and gripped Lyne’s delicate neck. Lyne made no attempt to avoid his hand. Unlike the left hand of that previous manservant belonging to the Second Prince, Lyne indulged in her breathlessness under Rein’s grip.
“Your noble heritage will make no difference once pressed against the ground with your mind addled by pleasure, womb filled with seed. You’d be nothing but a fallen noble, a wench with a child on the way,” Rein stated in as serious of a tone as possible.
“How… how dare you! You have no status and are in no position to do this to me!” Lyne sputtered under Rein’s half-grip around her throat. Meanwhile, her dainty hands were stroking Rein’s manhood.
Suey had rolled her eyes a thousand times by now. From her perspective, Rein was simply the type of man to desire an extreme degree of devotion. It wasn’t necessarily to initiate such exaggerated play.
“Worry not,” Rein added and took on a righteous tone. “Even if your future is nothing but a seeded fallen noble, I will still keep you around. I am a man who takes care of my… broken toys.” Saying this, Rein inwardly felt quite embarrassed.
His words caused a slight haze to momentarily obscure Lynes pupils.
“Miss fallen noble, we must leave before this dead manservant attracts attention.” Suey finally could not take it anymore.
Rein released his grip and Lyne barely managed to extricate her hands from Rein’s manhood. That knotted beast was going to be her fall. Yet through such a fall, she would also become free from her current political predicament. Is that contradictory?
Lyne allowed herself to occupy Rein’s left side, and Rein’s left arm wrapped around her waist, dangerously high and close to her sensitive breasts.
“You asshole.” She icily said as she glared up at Rein’s eyes as Rein activated his ‘Lightning Frog Leg Release’ and began leaping away in explosive bounds southward. “You must be comparing our bodies! Are you also going to compare our bodies against those goddesses from a higher, upper realm?!” Those immortal fairies would be unfair competition.
Was she haughtily expressing insecurity this quickly? Rein was somewhat surprised.
“Indeed,” Rein was honest. “We men indeed reflexively do so.”
Even Suey now glared at him.
“However…wise men know that beauty of a woman is but an illusion to draw men in to kickstart a connection,” he seriously said. “If we sail through stormy seas and together vanquish monsters from the deepest and darkest pits… I would be a fool to abandon you for a random ‘goddess’.“
Suey forcefully restrained a smile while she gazed into Rein’s eyes, while Lyne turned her head downwards to hide her glee, attempting to maintain her icy and haughty bearing.
A bearing soon broken when Rein’s left hand crushed her sensitive left breast while he activated another ‘Lightning Frog Leg Release’.
“How… how dare you!” Lyne barely maintained control of her desires. This weak point of hers had been discovered during her capture. She now almost felt happy that she had a weak point for Rein to take advantage of…
“My noble body isn’t something for the likes of you to… simply take advantage of!” she said as she half-heartedly struggled.
Suey once again rolled her eyes. She could not believe that Lyne had decided to fully dedicate herself to carrying such an air.
Rein, though happy to play along, decided that it was finally time to well… shut her haughty mouth for a while.
He bent his neck down and stabbed his tongue into Lyne’s mouth. They began to share a lewd tongue-lashing kiss.
Lyne melted herself into Rein’s body, moaning and twisting as Rein left hand manhandled the two red and puffy tips upon the peaks of her two mounds.
When the kiss finally ended, her haughty expression returned. However, she was no longer looking at Rein, but rather, at Suey!
Suey was open-mouthed and finally, an angry competitiveness was lit within her as well.
“You… you bitch!”
However, before any fight could break out, Rein had drawn Suey in with his right arm, and gave Suey the same extended sloppy kiss. Suey felt a deep sense of secureness as her petite form was crushed against his body.
When that kiss finally ended, Rein only had these words.
“I will treat you two fairly. Don’t get out of hand.” Rein’s words were soft but also firm. Perhaps this was the most difficult part of having two women in hand.
However, Rein knew that he had to, or there would be a volcano waiting to blow up in his face.
This was not dissimilar to business relations in the merchant world. It is always important to ensure that all parties are fairly treated. Only then could long term cooperation among multiple parties be effective.
_______________________________________________________
Ailehr was despondent as she examined the cells. Lyne had escaped as well, while she was occupied with finding Suey.
That was not all. Lyne also freed the other captured advancers. Those advancers had then killed the few Harvest Devil Sect members remaining within the sect before leaving, camouflaged in their robes.
This was an absolute disaster.
After Ailehr ordered the Harvest Sect members to pursue that leaping man, many did so and rushed out southward.
She had taken some time to stabilize her reopened injuries, and then also flown south.
What she discovered was that the many ghosts were no longer under her control and quite a number of Harvest Sect members had their lifeforce drained.
By the time she had reestablished her control over the weakening ghosts, all traces of Rein and Suey had vanished.
All that remained was a devil transformed being recklessly spitting out dark aurae bombs in random directions.
Luckily, she had been taught by Devil God Hehrn on how to reverse this out-of-control transformation. After doing so, she discovered that the devilish man had been blinded. Meaning, she would not be able to gain any information as to how Rein and Suey had simply… vanished.
The most shocking point was that their devilish arts could not identify any clues. Normally, there would be some sort of aurae trail, aurae disturbance that could be identified, caused by the movement arts of the escapee.
None existed here.
Thus, Ailehr could only return dejected, and request Devil God Hehrn for assistance once again. Furthermore, she was now forced to possess a significantly less compatible body.
If there was one positive note, it was that Ailehr had successfully identified the man that had taken away Suey! Though Rein’s ‘Shifting Mask’ only broke after he blinded the devilish man, Ailehr easily guessed that it was him after some thinking. After all, Rein’s relationship with Suey was no secret!
Ailehr clenched her teeth. One day, she would return to Rein her humiliation tenfold, once she adapted to a new body and recovered her powers!
_______________________________________________
In the Uni Sect.
Members of House of Origin prepared to move out, having been given a base of operations in the Uni Sect. The House of Origin does not only research origin abilities. They also sometimes captured famed advancers to unearth the secrets of their powers.
This was because certain geniuses sometimes would chance upon a unique encounter, allowing them to gain and develop a unique powerful advancer art. House of Origin is also prepared to absorb these secrets.
“Sir Godeyes. The demon beast wave has begun. Now is the best chance for us to capture the carrier of ‘Retrace and Reflect’, the man known as Xeeseir.”
The man referred to as Sir Godeyes had sharp brows, bright eyes, high cheekbones and long sleek black hair extending below his shoulders. He would be a handsome man if not for his pale skin that made him seem somewhat frail.
However, his most distinguishing feature was the slit in the center of his forehead.
Sir Godeyes led another four men. All five of them were dressed in pure white robes with no sigils or patterns upon said robes. The House of Origin wore these robes to represent the vacant and beginning of this very world. Origin.
As they gazed far into the mist, the slit upon Sir Godeyes opened, revealing a golden eye with shifting patterns dancing across its surface.
If Rein was here, he would immediately recognize this eye as a type of origin ability-- God’s eye.
An eye that could see through all illusions, identify weaknesses among many other visual abilities of analyses.
If there was a weakness to this origin ability, it was that many previous carriers of this origin ability had weak bodies that could not react fast enough to danger despite their God’s eye seeing the approaching life-threatening blade.
Anyhow. Somehow, God’s eye had become a piece of House of Origins. That meant one thing-- it would be far harder to avoid House of Origin’s curious gaze. Any users of origin ability, if they attempted to use illusions to obscure the truth of their abilities, would be easily identified if Sir Godeyes was present!
As for the range of his various heavenly observation abilities, only Sir Godeyes was fully aware. As for simply identifying and recognizing physical features… his range was close to ten thousand kilofeet.
“To attack Xeeseir directly would draw the Halls’ wrath,” Sir Godeye slowly said. “However, if we can capture his allies… All carriers of ‘Retrace’ have always been impulsive. We can lead Xeeseir to an isolated location and thus obtain his body to experiment upon.”
“With the impending demon beast tide, the Halls will not be able to respond. Perhaps they might no longer care given Xeeseir’s supposed failure to break into the shell realm,” Sir Godeyes smiled. The House of Origin has quite a few spies within various powers. In his hand was a piece of paper with depictions of Xeeseir’s associates drawn in ink.
“Hah. I’ve found our target,” Sir Godeyes sneered a hundred heartbeats later. “To think that you would have useless allies recklessly cleaning themselves in a small pond in the Western Wilderness…If not for the beast tide emptying the lands, you idiots would have long died.”
