Ch. 791: Chapter 791-800

Chapter 791 What Price Must I Pay For This Rebirth?

Lux only returned to Hereswith's Domain after twenty minutes. This time, he found the High-Elf seated in the clearing of a forest, drinking some herbal tea.

There were no potato chips nor laptops around, and only the beautiful scenery of the forest greeted him.

It was as if everything he saw earlier had been an illusion, and the Half-Elf was more than happy to pretend that he didn't see anything.

"Grandmaster, I have returned," Lux greeted the High-Elf in a polite and respectful manner.

"Welcome back, Lux," Hereswith replied with a smile. "Have a seat. I prepared some tea. Feel free to drink some."

"Thank you, Grandmaster." Lux nodded and sat across Hereswith, allowing the beautiful High-Elf that could cause the downfall of a nation to pour him some tea.

The Half-Elf sipped the tea and found it warm and soothing. He paused for a bit to enjoy the aftertaste before drinking more, repeating this cycle until his cup was empty.

Lux then placed the cup back on the table and looked at his Grandmaster with a serious expression on his face.

"Grandmaster, I have come to ask you if you want to be revived and undergo a rebirth," Lux said. "While I can't guarantee that you will regain the body of a High-Elf, I can at least assure you that I will do my best to make it happen."

Hereswith looked at the Half-Elf with a calm expression on her face.

Truth be told, Lux thought that his Grandmaster would be surprised by the news, but just by looking at her reaction, it seemed that Hereswith didn't find this news surprising at all.

"I see, so you've found a way to help me revive," Hereswith replied before putting her cup down on top of the table. "But what is the condition for this kind of revival? Half of my soul is damaged, so I can only stay here inside the World Tree until it has fully recovered.

"Once I leave, my soul will instantly dissipate. I know you have Blackfire, but I thought it could only store corpses. Did it gain the ability to store souls as well?"

Lux nodded. "Yes, Grandmaster. I don't know if you are aware, but my Grandma Vera has temporarily become the Guardian of the Ancestral Lands. Before passing the Guardianship back to the Vampire King, Dracul, she took two treasures from the Ancestral Vault.

"One of them is a Magic Scroll that can raise the rank of any item to the Divine Rank. I used it to upgrade Blackfire, which gave it the ability to store souls and even help them recover."

"That's a very convenient ability," Hereswith commented. "But the question still remains. What price do I have to pay to be revived? I don't want to toot my own horn, but my Soul is very special. Although I didn't become a Heaven's Necromancer, I was still very close to being one and gaining the World's recognition."

The beautiful High-Elf then moved closer to the Half-Elf and raised his chin using her finger.

"Be honest and tell me, my Grand Disciple, what do you want from your Grandmaster?" Hereswith asked with a smile on her face. "What price must I pay for this rebirth?"

"Nothing," Lux blinked. "I'm not going to ask for any price."

"Not even XXX?"

"Definitely not XXX!"

Hereswith giggled before releasing the Half-Elf's chin.

"Sorry. I just wanted to tease you," Hereswith stated before sitting back in her chair. "If you said I would have to repay you with my body, I would have rejected your offer in a heartbeat. The reason why I died is because I rejected a lot of people after they professed their undying love to me.

"I know that they only did it due to my exceptional looks. I mean, if I was a guy, I would have definitely proposed to myself due to how beautiful I am." I think you should take a look at

"Wow, Narcissist much," Lux commented. "As expected of Grandmaster. I like!"

Lux gave the beautiful High-Elf a thumbs up, making the latter giggle.

"… Still, I can't help but feel that the gears of my Fate have finally started to turn once again," Hereswith said softly. "It seems that he hasn't lied to me after all…"

Although Lux had exceptional hearing, he didn't manage to understand the last part of Hereswith's words.

He just thought that his Grandmaster was cursing him again under her breath, which made him smile bitterly.

After a few minutes of silence, Hereswith raised her head to the sky and asked Lux a question.

"Does my Disciple, Gaap, know about this?" Hereswith asked.

"No," Lux replied. "I was planning to surprise him."

"And surprise him, you will," Hereswith said softly. "You know, Lux, there is one thing that you should know about Necromancers."

The Half-Elf quieted down and perked his ears. He wanted to hear Hereswith's words properly because he believed that this was something very important.

"Although it is not a taboo, Necromancers don't like being revived by other Necromancers," Hereswith said solemnly. "No matter how much you sugarcoat it, in the end, we will become that person's subordinates. This was why I asked you if you planned to take advantage of me after my revival.

"If you were a different breed of Necromancer, I would not even consider becoming one of your subordinates. Although I am already dead, I still have my dignity and purity.

"I have no intention of surrendering myself to a scumbag. Fortunately, you are my Grand Disciple, as well as the one and only Heaven's Necromancer in this world. If I can't even put my trust in you, then there is no one that I can trust."

The beautiful High-Elf, who made countless Kings, Emperors, and Power Houses profess their love for her, pressed her right hand over her voluptuous chest and closed her eyes.

"Although this is shameless of me, I don't want to lose my freedom," Hereswith stated. "So, please, after I get revived, I want to be free. Will that be fine with you, Lux?"

Lux didn't hesitate and nodded his head.

"From the very start, I didn't have any intention of making you my subordinate, Grandmaster," Lux stated. "All I want is for you and my Master, Gaap, to walk together again under the same sky. Perhaps, on that day, his guilt of having abandoned you will finally fade away, allowing him to enjoy the last remaining years of his life."

Hereswith smiled and nodded her head. As someone who had reached the rank of a Saint, she could tell if a person was lying or not.

The beautiful High-Elf then extended her soft and delicate hands towards Lux for a handshake.

Seeing her gesture, the Half-Elf held her hand firmly and shook it twice.

Now that he had gained his Grandmaster's approval, the only thing that was left to do was to summon Blackfire.

Lux understood that, unlike Sid and Scarlet, he would be unable to revive Hereswith right away. Her soul still needed to undergo recovery, just like his Grandma Vera did inside Blackfire.

By doing so, he believed that the beautiful High-Elf would not only have a full recovery but would also gain a powerful body, one that would once again walk the world of Elysium and create a Legendary Feat that she alone was capable of making.

 

Chapter 792 But You Have Heard Of Me

Hereswith took a deep breath before telling Lux that she was ready.

The Half-Elf nodded and activated Blackfire's ability to store souls to give his Grandmaster a second chance in life.

"Grandmaster, please have a good rest," Lux said. "I pray that the next time you open your eyes, you will be able to walk the world of Elysium once again."

"Thank you, Lux," Hereswith replied. "Try not to get yourself into big trouble, while I'm asleep."

Without another word, Hereswith closed her eyes, and her soul was sucked inside Blackfire before the lid of the coffin closed completely.

The Half-Elf patted the surfaces of the coffin before unsummoning his Divine Artifact. He believed that it would take a long while for his Grandmaster's soul to fully heal.

Lux didn't want to rush things. He wanted Hereswith's soul to fully recover, allowing the beautiful High-Elf to be reborn.

Now that his purpose for visiting the Ancestral Lands was dealt with, he left the World Tree and searched for his Grandma.

"All done?" Vera asked as soon as Lux landed beside her.

"Yes, Grandma," Lux replied. "It's time to go back to the Outer Reaches."

Vera nodded, and this time, she allowed Lux to teleport her back to their Guild Headquarters before anyone could realize that they were missing.

—————————

Meanwhile, at the border of the territory of the Crystal Palace…

"Halt!" a Dragon Born with red scales stood in Cethus' way as he was about to enter the gate. "You have some nerves. A Royal Guard from Karshvar Draconis dares to step into our Domain. Are you courting death, huh?"

Cethus frowned after looking at the opposite Dragon Born, who was at least a head taller than him. Truth be told, he could just have acted arrogant like he had always done to put the guard in his place.

However, after being around the two Half-Elves, Lux and Gerhart, the Dragon Born realized that arrogance without the strength to back it up wasn't arrogance but stupidity.

Because of this, he decided to handle the matter peacefully in order to de-escalate the situation!

"You lowly peasant, just who do you think you're talking to?" Cethus asked, raising his chin. "I am Lady Augustina's Grandson, Cethus. You plebeian dare to block my way? The one courting death is you. Are you tired of living?"

(E/N: Peacefully my *ss. This isn't arrogant?)

(A/N: This is how Cethus does things peacefully.)

The red-scaled Dragon Born frowned after hearing Cethus' reply. Her Excellency, Lady Augustina, was beloved by everyone residing in the territories under the Crystal Palace because she was fair and righteous.

Although she wasn't easy to anger, people didn't dare cross her bottom line.

"Your name is Cethus?" the red-scaled Dragon Born frowned. "Are you Lady Augustina's failure of a grandson, the one who only managed to become a Royal Guard because his other Grandma pulled some strings?"

The red-scaled Dragon Born snorted as he looked at Cethus with a sneer.

"I've heard a lot about you," the red-scaled Dragon Born stated. "Not only are you a failure, but you also abuse your authority and power to get what you want. You are the scummiest Dragon Born that I've ever heard of."

"But you have heard of me," Cethus replied. "It just shows that I'm not a nobody like you."I think you should take a look at

Cethus then smiled as if making the red-scaled Dragon Born know that both of them weren't on the same level. It wasn't his fault that he was born as the grandson of two powerful Dragon Borns who stood at the Apex of Karshvar Draconis and the Crystal Palace.

Since his family was awesome, it was only natural for him to bask in their awesomeness.

"You…," the red-scaled Dragon Born was about to smack the arrogant prick's face when he felt a powerful presence in the sky above his head.

"It has been a while since you last visited me, Grandson of mine," a Dragon Born with black scales said in an amused tone. "I thought you'd already forgotten about me."

Cethus smiled from ear to ear as he looked up at his grandma, who acted as the Guardian and Steward, of the Crystal Palace.

"How could I possibly forget you, Grandma?" Cethus replied. "I just finished my Ranker breakthrough, and the first one I wanted to inform about it was none other than you."

"Oh, my! How filial you are. You mean Faustina didn't know that you're already a Ranker?"

"Not yet, Grandma. I came to see you first."

"Good child, now come," Lady Augustina made a gesture for Cethus to fly towards her side. "Guard Captain, the next time my grandson visits me, make sure to give him a proper welcome, okay?"

"Y-Yes! Your Excellency!" The red-scaled Dragon Born immediately saluted and promised Lady Augustina that he would welcome Cethus with open arms the next time he visited their Stronghold.

Cethus made sure to give the Guard Captain a sidelong glance for the latter to see the smug look on his face.

Since their Supreme had personally come to welcome Cethus, the red-scaled Dragon Born could only smile back, with beads of sweat threatening to fall from his forehead.

He made sure to remember what Cethus looked like to ensure that he wouldn't be punished in the future.

It was not only the Guard Captain that gave Cethus a long and hard look. All the Guards made sure to imprint the spoiled Dragon Born's face into their memory so that in the future, they could score some brownie points and get on good terms with him.

When Cethus and Augustina left the Stronghold and could no longer be seen, the Guard Captain breathed a sigh of relief.

If their Steward arrived just five seconds late, his fist would have definitely smacked Cethus' face, which would have landed him in big trouble.

"Captain, you got lucky," one of the guards said.

"Y-Yeah," the red-scaled Dragon Born replied as he wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand. "That was a close call."

Meanwhile, high above the sky, Lady Augustina looked at her grandson with a critical gaze as they flew side by side together.

"Faustina has told me everything," Lady Augustina said. "But I want to hear it from your own lips. Are you really a Guild Member of that Mythical Guild, Heaven's Gate?"

"Um? How did Grandma Faustina know that I'm a member of Heaven's Gate?" Cethus asked back in surprise. "I told her that I was a member of the guild Ars Goetia."

Lady Augustina snorted. "Do you think my twin sister is a fool? She's that no-good Dragon King's right-hand woman. If anything important happens in Karhsvar Draconis, she is one of the first Dragon Borns to know about it. So, why don't you come clean, and tell me everything about that Guild Master of yours? I've heard from Aur and Piccoro that he has a special relationship with someone we know."

Cethus might not be the brightest Dragon Born in Karshvar Draconis, but he wasn't stupid. He had already guessed the identity of the Crystal Dragon that had appeared in the Outer Reaches long ago, and it wasn't that hard to understand what his Grandma was hinting at.

The corner of Cethus' lips rose briefly, thinking that he sure underestimated how close his two grandmothers were with each other.

Although the two of them were on two opposing sides, they still shared important information with each other, especially when it came to matters related to him.

 

 

Chapter 793 Department Head Of The Bomb-Making Unit

Two days after Lux had safely stored Hereswith's Soul inside Blackfire, the Half-Elf was woken up from his sleep by a loud explosion, startling him and everyone within the Guild Headquarters.

The red-headed teenager didn't even have time to change out of his pajamas as he flew out of the window to find out what caused the commotion.

In the distance, he saw a reddish plume in the sky, caused by the aftermath of the explosion.

It was only three in the morning, but the floating island was sufficiently lit by the light of the moon and stars, allowing the Half-Elf to focus in the direction of the explosion.

The first thing he saw was a girl wearing a red-riding hood dress, as well as a baby blue slime that was perched on top of her head.

Clearly, these two were the perpetrators of the explosion that woke up everyone on the floating island.

"Wow! That explosion went boom!" Glee said happily as she spread her arms wide.

"Boom Boom!" Eiko jumped happily on top of Glee's head.

The two Bomber Girls had been pent up for the past few days because everyone was telling them to not go anywhere near the construction site, fearing that they might make things explode.

Because of this, Eiko and Glee waited until everyone was asleep before going to the very edge of the floating island to test their newly invented Heat Seeking Bombs.

Just as the name implied, these Bombs would automatically lock on targets that emitted a certain temperature within its strike range.

They still hadn't tested how powerful and effective these bombs were. Although they wanted to, everyone was stopping them, so they decided to test it out when everyone was asleep.

Glee just didn't expect that the power of the bomb that she and Eiko created to be stronger than her initial estimate, causing an explosion that had the power to destroy half a skyscraper.

"We need to fine-tune it a bit, Eiko," Glee said. "It exploded before it hit the target. This one is considered a failure."

"Un! Fail!" Eiko agreed. "Make more Heat Seeking Bombs!"

"Yes! Let's do that!" Glee nodded.

However, before the two of them could even work on Heat Seeking Bomb Number 2, Lux and Bentley landed beside the two of them with their hands crossed over their chest.

"Listen here, Glee, do you know what time it is?" Bentley asked. "Everyone is already tired from working all day, so they're taking a nice long rest. However, you woke them all up with the explosion. Do you have something to say, little lady?"

"Umm… everyone can go back to sleep now?" Glee said before yawning. "Eiko, I feel sleepy. I think we should go to sleep."

"Yes, sleepy~" Eiko nodded. "Make boom tomorrow!"

The corner of Bentley's lips twitched. Clearly, the two girls didn't even feel sorry for the commotion that they had caused for everyone.

Lux, on the other hand, could only sigh in his heart. For a moment, he thought that the Divine Army of Light had already discovered their location and initiated a Night Raid.

Fortunately, it was only a false alarm.

However, it didn't change the fact that this incident made Lux realize that unexpected things could happen and that certain responses needed to be made in order to handle different situations.

'I guess I'll ask Garret to brief the Kobolds on what they should do during emergencies,' Lux thought. 'It's a good thing that the underground labyrinth can serve as a hiding place during times of emergencies. I should ask the Kobolds to dig bigger places that will serve as evacuation sites should a dangerous situation arise.'

After the two girls were told to not do this again, Lux took Eiko with him back to his room to sleep.

The baby slime didn't resist and even bid Glee goodnight, promising that they would make more things go Boom in the morning.I think you should take a look at

As Lux was just about to enter the gate of his Guild Headquarters, he noticed that Garret was looking at the red plume in the sky with a solemn expression on his face.

Seeing that the Half-Elf had arrived, the former Great General of the Haca Dynasty told Lux what was on his mind.

"I know that you are still researching how to build another Destroyer," Garret stated. "But these bombs that Eiko and Glee are making can be very useful in the future. You have asked the Dwarves to build you that Gyrocopter, or whatever it's called, that flies in the air, right? Arming them with these bombs will definitely give them some serious firepower.

"Actually, it will be best if we stack up on these bombs. Since you can encase them in those Skeleton Balls, they can be used as cannonballs, allowing us to fire a volley from on top of this island, to targets on the ground. If that happens, this floating Island will definitely be a floating Destroyer."

Eiko, who heard Garret's words, looked at the Ex-Great General with sparkling eyes.

"You good!" Eiko said as she looked at Garret with a smile. "Make more Boom Booms!"

Lux pondered for a bit and thought that the Great General's idea was correct.

As someone who had experienced several wars, he also understood how important it was to have War Machines that were capable of shooting long distances.

He had already seen how Asmodeus blew up half the Royal Palace of the Haca Dynasty.

If these bombs could really help them have an edge against those who wished to antagonize them, then he would not hesitate to give Eiko and Glee the go signal to develop more advanced weapons of warfare like the Heat Seeking Bombs that they had just tested a little while ago.

Several hours later…

"I hereby appoint you as the Department Head of the Bomb Making Unit," Lux said to the little Elf, who liked to make things explode. "You are given permission to make any kind of bomb, as long as you promise that you will not test them in a place near people."

"Yes Sir!" Glee gave Lux a salute with a big smile on her face. "I'll develop more advanced bombs that can destroy half of this island!"

"Um, you don't have to go that far." Lux hurriedly rejected Glee's idea because Eiko already had a tactical nuke that was capable of doing what she had proposed. "Do things in moderation, okay?

"Just make things that can potentially injure any Monster below the Dreadnaught Rank. Also, remember, test your bombs on the lands below the floating islands. Don't make it explode here, got it?"

Glee nodded. "Don't make things explode on the island. Got it!"

Eiko, who was also very happy for Glee, was tempted to join her best friend in developing a new type of bomb.

However, it was time for them to return to Solais and go to Barbatos Academy.

Lux had already wrapped up things in the Outer Reaches and decided that it was time to have their long-awaited family reunion.

Cethus had also informed him that his Grandmother wanted to talk to Lux personally before approving his plan to relocate his Guild Headquarters.

Because of this, the Half-Elf decided to visit the Domain of the Crystal Palace after going back to Solais.

While these things were happening, the news of Lux being branded a heretic was starting to spread within the territories under the influence of the Divine Army of Light.

Although it still hadn't reached the territories of Karshvar Draconis, in the area of Skystead Alliance, Xynnar War Pact, and the Six Kingdoms, the news was spreading at a rapid pace.

This was why the Half-Elf put relocating his Guild Headquarters as soon as possible as his top priority.

But, as to whether the Crystal Palace would agree to his request or not, only Cethus' Grandmother, Augustina, had the final say on the matter.

 

Chapter 794 Return To Wildgarde Stronghold

Since Lux's saved location for returning to Solais was the house where he and his grandma lived, they decided to drop by and say hello to the Guardians of Wildgarde Stronghold since they were already there.

Truth be told, Lux wanted to see how the Stronghold Commander, Gerald, as well as the other Guardians, would react after seeing his Grandma Vera after a very long time.

However, the moment they arrived, the two noticed that their home was now covered by a faint layer of dust, which made the silver-haired lady frown.

"Let's clean up a bit before we go," Vera said softly.

Lux nodded. "Yes, Grandma."

He also didn't like seeing the place where he grew up look like it had been neglected by its owners.

Due to their current Ranks, the cleaning process didn't take long. All Vera needed to do was wave her hand in each room, dispersing the dust instantly and making everything look neat and tidy.

Only after making sure that everything was clean did they go to look for Gerald and the other Guardians.

The moment the residents of the stronghold saw Lux, all of them greeted him with a smile.

"Lux, I thought you already have a fiance," an Auntie said as she looked at the silver-haired beauty by the Half-Elf's side. "Well, since you're handsome, it's fine to have more than just one. However, make sure to treat everyone nicely, okay?"

"Auntie Flo, you're having a very big misunderstanding," Lux replied with a bitter smile on his face. "Although she looks very different from how she did before, this lady beside me is Grandma."

Auntie Flo chuckled before winking at the Half-Elf. "Oh, you~ do you really think I'm blind? If you don't want me to spread the news that you are keeping a secret lover, all you need to do is tell me the details."

Vera, who saw her grandson's helplessness, only smiled at the side. It had been a while since he saw Lux act like his age again, so she remained silent, despite the fact that the Half-Elf was asking for her help to clarify things.

In the end, Lux decided to no longer try to defend himself and ran away, leaving his grandma behind.

After seeing his grandson's antics, Vera chuckled before looking at the Auntie, who thought that she was Lux's new lover.

"Flo, it really is me, Vera," Vera said.

"Eh?" Auntie Flo blinked her eyes in confusion. "Vera? Is that really you?"

"Yes."

"Oh my God! What kind of juice did you drink? I want to have some too! How did you become so young and so beautiful?!"

Vera smiled before shaking her head. "It's a long story, which I will tell you some other time. Lux and I need to find Gerald and the others before going to Barbatos Academy. I will now take my leave and catch up to my grandson."

Vera took a single step before disappearing from where she stood, leaving the Auntie looking at the spot where she disappeared with a dumbfounded expression on her face.

————————

Meanwhile at the Main Keep of the Wildgarde Stronghold…

"Oh, Lux. You're finally back," Gerald said after seeing the Half-Elf whom he hadn't seen for quite a while. "Did you perhaps drop by to talk before going to the Gate of the Apocalypse that will be opening soon?

"I heard that the Six Kingdoms have already sent their representatives and brought several Rankers to explore the Sacred Dungeon together. It seems that they plan to loot the entire Domain of the Fallen, which is infested with Deimos, Argonaut, and Dreadnaught Ranked Monsters."

Lux was very tempted to tell Gerald that all those Rankers would be just wasting their time.

His Stepfather, Alexander, and future Grandpa-in-law, Maximilian had already looted the place, leaving only scraps behind.I think you should take a look at

"Unfortunately, I won't be joining in the fun, Sir Gerald," Lux replied. "I need to go somewhere, so I can't participate in the Dungeon Expedition."

"… Is that so?" Gerald played with his beard for a while as if deep in thought.

While the two of them were talking, Vera appeared beside Lux like a ghost, making Gerald almost jump back in fright.

'An expert!' Gerald thought after looking at the silver-haired lady who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. As a C-Ranker, it was nearly impossible for someone to sneak up on him.

The only explanation was that the silver-haired lady was someone whose rank was higher than him.

'A High-Ranker?' Gerald frowned. 'No good. This must be one of those people that are after Lux.'

After regaining his composure, Gerald didn't hesitate to grab Lux's waist before backing away and putting the Half-Elf behind him.

"Your Excellency, I don't know who you are, or where you are from, but this place is under my jurisdiction," Gerald stated in a solemn tone. "May I know your reason for visiting our humble stronghold?"

While he was talking, Gerald had activated the artifact that would inform the other Guardians that an intruder had infiltrated their stronghold.

In just half a minute, a dozen people appeared inside the Main Keep and stood beside their Commander, while eyeing the silver-haired lady with frowns on their faces.

'For some reason, her Aura feels familiar,' Natasha, who served as the Cleric of the Stronghold, eyed the intruder with a serious expression on her face.

Rainier also felt as if he knew the lady standing in front of them. However, since he failed to recognize her, he kept his guard up, ready to attack as soon as Gerald gave them the signal to do so.

"It's nice to know that everyone's reaction time when facing emergencies hasn't diminished," Vera said with a smile. "Also, good job Gerald for ensuring Lux's safety first before trying to identify my background."

Gerald frowned because the intruder was talking to him in a casual manner as if they had known each other for a long time.

"Your Excellency, this boy Lux is a troublemaker," Gerald replied. "If he somehow offended a younger relative of yours, I will apologize on his behalf. The children should handle their own matters, and we adults should not interfere."

Lux, who had just been called a troublemaker, couldn't help but scratch his head. He couldn't refute Gerald's words because they were true. Although he didn't actively look for trouble, he almost always found himself in trouble most of the time.

Vera could see that her colleagues were already ready to strike at a moment's notice, so she decided to de-escalate the situation before things got out of hand.

"Everyone, it's nice to see you again," Vera said. "It is me, Vera. Lux and I just arrived, so we decided to visit all of you before we go to Barbatos Academy to reunite with our family."

"Eh? Vera?" Gerald, who was about to give the order for a preemptive strike, looked at the silver-haired lady in disbelief.

A few seconds later, he looked at the Half-Elf behind him as if asking the red-headed teenager if what the intruder said was the truth.

"It is true." Lux nodded. "That's really Grandma."

"What?!" Natasha and Rainer both exclaimed at the same time.

The other Guardians were also in a state of disbelief because the Vera that they knew was an old lady, not a silver-haired beauty, who seemed to only be in her late twenties.

"It's a long story," Lux said with a smirk. "You can ask Grandma to tell you about it some other time."

Gerald looked at the Half-Elf then back at Vera before shifting his gaze back to Lux. Just like everyone in the stronghold, they were shocked at how much Lux's grandma had changed since they last saw her.

 

Chapter 795 Thank You For Saving Me

An hour later, Lux and Vera left the Wildgarde Stronghold after having a chat with Gerald, as well as the other Guardians.

All of them were shocked when they found out that not only did Vera become younger and more beautiful, but she had also risen to the rank of a Saint, almost making Gerald choke on his saliva.

They then pestered Vera for answers, making the silver-haired lady tell them that she had a fortuitous encounter while traveling with her grandson.

When they heard about what happened in the Necromancer's Ancestral Lands, they felt as if the red-headed teenager whom they watched grow inside their stronghold, had now stepped into the realm where they didn't dare to go.

After the initial shock had passed, Vera informed all of them that nothing would change, and she would still remain one of the Guardians of the Wildgarde Stronghold.

This made Gerald and his colleagues extremely happy. If everyone knew that one of their members was a Saint, their status within the Six Kingdoms would definitely increase.

Currently, there were only two active Saints within the Six Kingdoms, and they were none other than Alexander and Maximilian.

With Vera as its third active Saint, the balance of power would definitely change. Fortunately, all three Saints were on the same side, which would make the rulers of the Six Kingdoms revise their strategy on how to form a good relationship with Vera, who had also become a Saint.

Of course, after sharing the good news, Vera didn't bat an eye and informed them of the bad news.

Wildgarde Stronghold was now made aware that Lux had made an enemy with the Divine Army of Light, which made them all look at the Half-Elf as if asking why he was courting death.

Still, they all thought that this wasn't that big of an issue since the main headquarters of the Divine Army was in Elysium. No matter how much they wanted to try and catch the Half-Elf, they needed to cross over to their world first.

And even if they did, both Solais and Elysium were big worlds. Finding a Half-Elf out of the trillions of people living there would not be an easy feat, especially if Lux didn't want to be found.

They just told the Half-Elf to be careful when venturing into the territories under the control of the Divine Army of Light, which Lux promised to do.

"It has been a while since we traveled like this, Grandma," Lux said softly.

"Indeed." Vera agreed.

The two of them were currently riding on Sophie's back (White Hippo), as she leisurely swam in the river headed to Barbatos Academy.

Riding on the White Hippopotamus' back was their favorite mode of transport. Even though their ranks had increased, granting them more convenient options for travel, they still decided to let her take them to Barbatos Academy for old-time's sake.

Along the way, they noticed a group of Giant River Crocodiles that were currently watching a duel between two Alpha Crocodiles.

After watching the memories of his childhood during his breakthrough, Lux recognized one of the two Alpha Crocodiles because it had a scar on its face.

The Giant Crocodile was an Alpha Deimos-Ranked Monster, and its opponent was of the same rank as it. The two fought fiercely, creating huge splashes and waves of water as they both rolled in the river, trying to one-up each other.

As if seeing the nostalgia in Lux's eyes, Vera asked Sophie to stop for a while so that they could watch the outcome of the match.

Ten minutes later, the Giant Crocodile with a scar on its face let out a triumphant roar as its opponent fled after its defeat.

The other Giant River Crocodiles also roared as if cheering for the strongest member of their group, proclaiming it their leader for the umpteenth time.I think you should take a look at

As if sensing the gaze of others on its body, the Alpha-Ranked Monster shifted its gaze on the White Hippopotamus that somehow looked familiar.

Its gaze then landed on the red-headed teenager for a brief moment before moving towards the silver-haired lady by his side.

The moment the Alpha Monster's gaze landed on Vera, its whole body trembled as if remembering memories of the distant past.

The scar on its face was something that Vera had left when it tried to attack her and the basket she was protecting many years ago.

Since it was a very traumatic experience, the Giant Crocodile made sure to remember the aura of the person that had given it a good beating.

Although Vera's looks had changed, her demeanor remained the same, making the Alpha Monster act like an innocent puppy who had met its owner.

Vera gave the Giant Crocodile a brief nod of acknowledgment before asking Sophie to continue their journey.

"I know that I have already said this in the past, Grandma, but thank you for saving me and bringing me back to the Wildgarde Stronghold," Lux said as he looked at the lady who had raised him since he was a baby. "I would not be where I am were it not for you, Grandma."

"You're welcome," Vera replied. "And thank you for appearing on that day as well. Because of you, I am given a second chance in life and even regained the power I lost long ago."

The two then smiled at each other as Sophie calmly waded through the river.

"Grandma, since you didn't know my birthday, you chose the day you found me in the river as my birthday, right?" Lux asked.

Vera nodded. "Yes. Seventeen years have passed since then, and look at you now. Already a Ranker and even the Progenitor of a Sacred Class that has never been seen before. Not only that, you are also the Guildmaster of Heaven's Gate.

"If I were to tell my past self that the child I picked up on that day would turn out to be this great, I might not have believed it. After all, back then, you would faint without any warning and cause trouble for everyone in the Stronghold."

Lux chuckled after remembering the days when he felt so helpless due to his weak body constitution.

After meeting the God of Games, Eriol, and regaining his memory, he embarked on a journey in Elysium without knowing what was waiting for him there.

Leaf Village had been his starting point, and with it, he came to love the world of Elysium. Although not everything was smooth sailing, and he had faced several hardships along the way, the Half-Elf had grown through these experiences.

Even now, he knew that his journey was nowhere near the finish line. Still, he could now raise his head high because he had taken that second step to reach the goal that he had set out to accomplish.

Vera, who didn't know the burden that her grandson was carrying, only lightly patted the red-headed teenager's head before pointing in the distance.

"We're almost there," Vera said with a smile.

Lux nodded. "Indeed."

Through their enhanced vision, they were able to make out the faint outline of Barbatos Academy in the distance.

And this made Lux and Vera well aware that their long-awaited family reunion would be happening very soon.

 

 

Chapter 796 Maybe It’s That Time Of The Month

Just as the white hippopotamus, Sophie, was about to come ashore, the Headmaster of Barbatos Academy appeared, as if sensing their presence.

As a Saint, it was very easy for Alexander to know if someone of the same rank was approaching his domain. However, he never expected that the Saint that he sensed was not an enemy, but someone very dear to him.

"Mother?" Alexander asked. "Is that really you?"

"Yes, Alex," Vera replied. "It is me."

Lux, who expected that his Stepfather wouldn't immediately recognize Vera, sighed in his heart. He had never seen what his Grandma looked like when she was young, so he thought that Alexander would be the same, unable to identify his mother due to her current appearance.

What Lux didn't know was that aside from the hair color, Vera looked exactly the same as when she was younger.

Just like the other descendants of the Kaizer family, Vera's former hair color when she was young was blue. Now, it was silver.

And yet, it didn't diminish her youthful beauty that Alexander remembered the most.

"But, how?" Alexander inquired. "Also, you have regained your power as a Saint. How is this possible?"

"I'd like to answer your question in a more comfortable environment," Vera replied. "Lux and I have traveled from the Wildgarde Stronghold, and it would be nice if we chatted while sitting on a couch, don't you think?"

Alexander, who had completely forgotten that they were on a riverbank, massaged his forehead before nodding his head.

"I'm sorry," Alexander stated. "It's just that when I felt the presence of an Unknown Saint, I thought that they were planning to attack the Academy, so I came out, ready to fight. I just didn't expect that the one I would see would be you, Mother."

Vera nodded in understanding and ordered Sophie to walk to the usual entrance they used every time they visited Barbatos Academy.

Alexander gave Lux a grateful glance, knowing that Vera's changes could only be credited to his stepson, who helped his mother get a full recovery.

Although he didn't know how Lux did it, he was very grateful because his mother had regained what she had lost decades ago.

As soon as they entered the Academy grounds, a worried Alicia met them in the hallway.

Her gaze landed on Lux for a brief moment before going to the silver-haired beauty who was walking side by side with Alexander.

The two were talking in casual tones, and the look of affection that Alexander was giving the beautiful lady made her feel a stinging pain in her chest.

'C-Could it be?!' Alicia felt as if the sky had fallen above her head.

She had been courting Alexander for the longest time, and the Headmaster neither accepted nor rejected her advances. Alicia thought that since she wasn't rejected, as long as she spent time getting to know Alexander better, she would eventually win his heart.

The beautiful secretary didn't expect that a woman, whom she was only seeing for the first time in her life, would be able to talk to the man of her dreams in a casual manner.

Also, just a single glance was enough to tell that the two of them were really close, which made Alicia feel her legs start to go weak.

Lux, who noticed Alicia's pale expression, hurriedly walked up to her and supported her arm.

"Are you alright, Alicia?" Lux asked. "You look very pale."

"I-I'm alright," Alicia replied. "I'm just a little tired from work."

The secretary's dispirited tone didn't escape Lux's intuition, so he glanced back at his Grandma to ask her something.I think you should take a look at

"Grandma, Alicia doesn't feel well," Lux said. "Maybe it's that time of the month. Do you have any medicine in order to make her feel better?"

Alicia's body stiffened after hearing Lux's words. At first, she felt embarrassed because the Half-Elf thought that she was on her period and asked a stranger to help relieve her symptoms.

It was her heart that was in pain, and it didn't affect the function of her ears, so she caught the word "Grandma," which made her look at the silver-haired beauty, who was also looking at her with concern.

"L-Lady Vera?" Alicia asked with trembling lips. "Is that you?"

"Yes," Vera replied before walking toward Alicia to hold her hand and using her fingers to feel the pulse in her wrist. "Nothing seems wrong except for your fast heartbeat. Has my son been dumping all his work on you?"

Alicia felt as if the world had regained its colors, and the pain in her heart disappeared without a trace.

There was simply no way that she could feel jealous of Vera, who was Alexander's mother.

The beautiful secretary had a very good relationship with Vera, and the kind lady even encouraged her to pursue her son, whose heart had remained closed ever since Iris' mother had died many years ago.

"We don't have much work to do today, so take the day off Alicia," Alexander said. "Your health is very important, so make sure to rest properly."

"I'm fine, Headmaster," Alicia replied in a heartbeat. "In fact, I feel better now."

As if to prove her point she flexed her arm like a bodybuilder, making Lux scratch his head.

'Girls are weird,' Lux thought. 'One moment they look as if they were about to collapse, the next moment they're more lively than people injected with chicken blood.'

Lux then paused a bit because he realized that there was someone missing in the picture.

"Where is Iris?" Lux asked.

Alexander and Alicia glanced at each other before looking at the Half-Elf who was looking for the blue-haired princess of Barbatos Academy.

"She just finished her breakthrough and is currently resting inside her room," Alexander said with pride. "Just like you, Iris is now a Ranker as well."

"That's wonderful news!" Lux was genuinely happy that his fiance had become a Ranker. "The last time I saw her, she was just in the Initial Stages of the Initiate Rank. She really is a lucky girl."

"That, she is." Vera nodded her head in agreement. "I'll have a chat with Alex and Alicia for now. Why don't you and Eiko visit Iris first? Just make sure that you don't wake her up, okay?"

"Yes, Ma'am!" Lux playfully gave his Grandma a salute.

"Nanma!" Eiko did the same, making Vera smile.

As Lux and Eiko went to find Iris, Vera glanced at Alexander and Alicia before telling them that they should go to the Headmaster's Office to talk about important things.

"There is something of great importance that I must discuss with the both of you," Vera said in a serious tone. "It will be best if you bring the Rowan Tribe's Patriarch, Maximilian, to this discussion. This will save me the effort of telling the story twice."

Alexander nodded and took out an artifact to contact the Saint of the Rowan Tribe, who had left the Academy grounds a day ago to look for an ingredient for the pill he was making.

He could sense that whatever his mother was going to tell them was of grave importance, so he made sure to obey her words and asked Maximilian to return as fast as he could to discuss something that might affect their futures.

 

Chapter 797 You’re Not Getting Any Sleep Tonight

Lux silently opened the door of Iris' room, revealing the figure of his beautiful fiance, whom he hadn't seen in a while.

Since Iris was a very important person in Barbatos Academy, only those that had special authority could access her private residence, and Lux was one of those people.

Alexander made sure that no one below the Saint Rank could infiltrate his daughter's residence in order to keep her safe from harm. Iris was one of his reverse scales, and anyone who dared to hurt even a strand of her hair would feel his wrath.

Lux sneakily walked towards the bed to take a peek at the lady who was sleeping peacefully.

When he saw his fiance, Lux felt as if his breath was taken away.

Iris was currently wearing a black, one-piece nightdress, but this wasn't why Lux felt at a loss for words and breath.

Even with the faint lighting inside the room, the Half-Elf was able to notice the subtle changes in her body, which he deemed were caused by her breakthrough to be a Ranker.

Her beautiful face seemed to have become more beautiful, which made Lux's heart beat wildly inside his chest.

Iris' skin that was as white as cream looked more smooth and radiant with life, giving Lux a strong urge to touch her.

Her perfectly shaped breasts, which were currently hidden from his view due to her nightdress, seemed to have gotten a little bigger as well.

Of course, Lux wouldn't be able to confirm his guess unless he had a good look at it, which he planned to do later in the evening once the majority of the people inside the Academy had returned to their rooms to rest.

Lux sat beside Iris' bed and simply looked at her with a smile on his face. He could tell that the blue-haired beauty was in deep sleep, so he decided to just let her rest and not wake her up.

Even Eiko, who missed her terribly, only crawled down from Lux's head and moved towards her Mama's pillow.

The Baby Slime then gave Iris a kiss on the cheeks before she, too, closed her eyes to rest.

Clearly, she wanted to sleep beside her Mama, and Lux was fine with that.

Thinking that what Eiko did was a good idea, Lux also lay down on the bed beside Iris and gently wrapped his arms around her to give her a hug.

Half a minute later, the Half-Elf had also fallen asleep beside his fiance.

Due to the continuous events that had happened over the past few days, Lux wasn't able to get any proper sleep. Now that he felt safe and was beside the person he loved, he welcomed sleep's embrace, which he needed so badly.

Several hours later, the door of Iris' room opened, and another beautiful young lady entered the room.

This lady had sun-kissed skin, and her hazel eyes looked at the two people that were sleeping on the bed.

Eiko, who seemed to have sensed her presence, opened her eyes momentarily before yawning.

Cai, who had accompanied her Grandpa to look for one of the ingredients he needed, returned to Barbatos Academy with him.

The beauty with long, light-brown hair, lightly patted Eiko's head before placing a finger on her lips.

Eiko nodded and closed her eyes to go back to sleep. Since the one that entered the room was Cai, there was no need for her to wake up her Papa and Mama, who were in deep sleep.

After looking at the two people whom she deemed as very important to her, Cai felt left out, so she decided to join them.

She lay down her head beside Eiko and also wrapped her arms around Iris. With the blue-haired beauty at the center, the three people, plus the baby slime, slept together until it was almost dinner time.

The first one to wake up was none other than Iris. To her surprise, she found herself being used as a hug pillow by two people, Lux, and Cai, who were sleeping on her left and right sides.

Eiko woke up half a minute after Iris and immediately gave her a kiss on the cheeks, which Iris returned with a smile on her face.

"How long have you guys been here?" Iris said softly, so as to not wake up Lux and Cai, who were sleeping by her side.

"Ma~" Eiko replied.

"Six hours ago? That's quite a long time," Iris commented.I think you should take a look at

"Ma~"

"I missed you too, Eiko."

Perhaps due to their enhanced hearing, Lux and Cai were woken up by the pair's chat at the same time.

"How about me?" Cai asked playfully. "You didn't miss me?"

Iris giggled. "How can I miss you? We just had breakfast together this morning."

"How about me?" Lux asked as he lightly caressed Iris' lower abdomen, making the blue-haired beauty blush. "Did you miss me?"

"I did," Iris replied as she gently pried the mischievous hand, which was starting to move downwards, away. "Why don't we all eat something first? I'm starving."

Lux was tempted to say that he wanted to eat her first, but since Eiko was inside the room, he just nodded his head and propped himself up from the bed.

Cai did the same, and she accompanied Lux outside Iris' room while the blue-haired beauty changed her clothes.

"Did you miss me?" Cai asked as she looked at her handsome fiance, whom she hadn't seen since the two of them had undertaken their Ranker Trial.

"Of course," Lux replied as he cupped Cai's face before kissing her forehead. "You've become more beautiful since the last time I saw you. It seems that those who receive the World's Blessing also increase their charms. How about me? Did I become more handsome?"

"A tiny bit," Cai replied before kissing Lux's cheeks. "But it's strange. Although both of us have become a Ranker, you feel somewhat different. The Spirits are telling me that you are stronger than normal Rankers."

Lux smiled before summoning his Soul Book, which he passed to Cai for her to read.

The smile on Cai's face stiffened after seeing her fiance's Soul Book. She made sure to check it three times just to make sure that she didn't read it by mistake.

Only after confirming that what she saw was real did she look at the handsome Half-Elf, who had a smug look on his face.

"Don't act so smug," Cai lightly pounded Lux's chest, making the red-headed teenager chuckle.

A minute later, Iris opened the door and looked at her fiance, and her best friend, who were currently being playful with each other.

"Did something happen?" Iris asked. "Why do you look so flustered, Cai?"

"Iris, look at this," Cai hurriedly showed the blue-haired beauty Lux's Soul Book. "Doesn't this make you want to smack him?"

Iris took the Soul Book from Cai with an amused look on her face. However, her amused expression didn't last long before it was replaced with shock after seeing the information in Lux's Soul Book.

A few minutes later, Iris closed the Soul Book and returned it to Lux.

"You're not getting any sleep tonight," Iris said sweetly, which made the Half-Elf feel as if he was going to fight a war that he couldn't possibly win. "Are you going to join me, Cai?"

(E/N: Sleep? What's that?)

(A/N: Kekeke.)

The young lady with light-brown hair blushed, but still nodded her head.

She had already decided that the next time she saw Lux, she would take the initiative to take their relationship to the next level.

Seeing the look of determination in his two fiances' eyes, the Half-Elf decided to brace himself for what was about to come.

"Challenge accepted," Lux stated with a never-say-die expression on his face.

Although it was two versus one, he believed that he would be able to outlast the two beautiful ladies, whom every young man in both Solais and Elysium definitely wished to become their lovers.

 

 

Chapter 798 The True Danger That You Have To Face

Seated on the dining table were Lux, Iris, Vera, Alexander, Cai, Maximilian, and Alicia.

Since this was a family dinner, and Alicia was an important member of Alexander's staff, Lux insisted that she joined them, which made Alicia quite happy.

They all ate with minimal conversation, knowing that after dinner, they would be discussing something important.

An hour later, everyone went to the living room, and Vera took the initiative to tell everyone what had happened in the Necromancer's Ancestral Lands.

After her story ended, Maximilian played with his beard for a bit before letting out a chuckle.

"It seems that you got yourself in big trouble, my boy," Maximilian said with a smile. "Fortunately, there is nothing they can do here in Solais. Although the Divine Army also has Saints from this world, it is simply impossible for them to travel long distances because of the thick miasma that separates each region.

"The Six Kingdoms are isolated from the outside world because of this Miasma, and anyone who dared to take a risk to pass beyond the borders would have a high chance of getting afflicted with infectious diseases like the Purple Plague. Simply put, there is nothing to worry about here in Solais."

Maximilian then crossed his arms over his chest before giving the Half-Elf a mischievous smile.

"Elysium is also a very big and vast world," Maximilian stated. "It is so big that finding a Half-Elf like you is as difficult as finding a needle in a warehouse full of hay. Even if the Divine Army of Light has a huge influence, it is impossible for them to cover the entirety of Elysium.

"Also, although they are well-known in that world, it is mostly due to the efforts of their devoted pilgrims, who would travel to even the most remote places in order to spread their faith. They have been doing it for years, so I guess they managed to expand their influence quite a bit, especially near the center of the world where their Main Empire is located."

For Maximilian, the Divine Army of Light wasn't that much of a threat, especially for Foreigners like them that could come and go as they pleased.

Alexander lightly cleared his throat and joined the conversation.

"Speaking of the Miasma that separates each region, I just received a report yesterday that the Miasma is slowly expanding through the fortresses we have built on our borders," Alexander said with a serious expression on his face. "It is moving at an alarming speed, and if the inference of the experts monitoring it are correct, it will completely cover the defensive perimeter that we had erected in half a year's time.

"They also said that if nothing is done to prevent it, within 3 years, the Six Kingdoms will be no more, and it will be changed to the Three Kingdoms."

Lux who heard this news felt alarmed. The God of Gamblers had sent him to Solais in order to save it from destruction.

Due to the Hundred-Year War that had happened in various places of the world, most of the lands were now uninhabitable, and thick miasma covered the majority of it.

They were like livestock that were being caged by Miasma, unable to get out and had no choice but to wait until the day it had covered the entirety of the world, killing all life within it.

Even Saints and Supremes were unable to reverse this event, which is why they considered just living in Elysium in order to survive from the inevitable end of Solais.

Even Alexander and Maximilian had secured their own territories in Elysium as a last resort for their own survival.

"Whatever will be will be," Maximilian commented as he leaned back on the couch. "Now, let's get back to Lux's problem. Although the Divine Army of Light's influence cannot reach the entire world of Elysium, there will always be those who will take this opportunity to form connections with them.

"Simply put, you don't need to worry about the Divine Army, but those who want to lick their boots and flatter them. So, you still need to be careful whenever you are in Elysium. The downside is that you won't know if the people you're talking to are affiliated with them or not. That is the true danger that you have to face from this point onwards."I think you should take a look at

Alexander nodded in agreement. "But since Mother has expected that they are going to spread the news of Lux being a Heretic, I can only think of one organization that might play a role in doing that."

"The Adventurer's Guild," Lux commented. "They are the only organization that covers the entirety of Elysium, and they could instantly send messages to each other no matter how far apart their Guild Branches are. As long as they are able to make them agree to their request, this matter will spread like wildfire in a few days."

Lux had also mentioned what happened in the Necromancer's Ancestral Lands to his Guildmates, which made Keelan warn him of this possibility.

Although the Adventurer's Guild was a neutral organization, and it was not obligated to listen to the demands of the Divine Army of Light, there would be other people willing to spread the news for the right price.

They were the Adventurers.

If the Divine Army were to put up a commission or a request for them to spread the word for gold coins, these people would gladly do it.

There were also the Information Guilds, whose main role was to collect, sell, and spread information when need be.

There were also the Mercenaries, Bounty Hunters, and lastly, the Assassins, whom the Divine Army could also hire to keep a lookout for Lux in Elysium.

As long as the Divine Army were willing to pay the price, it was not impossible for them to extend their manhunt outside their borders.

"I've heard that your Guild Headquarters is in Karshvar Draconis," Maximilian said. "Although I haven't gone to the Dragon Kingdom, I've heard that their floating islands are located at the center of the world. It is not impossible for them to have dealings with the Divine Army of Light, which makes it a very dangerous place for your Guild Headquarters."

Lux gave his Grandpa-in-law a bitter smile because this was one of his worries.

"I plan to visit the Crystal Palace soon and negotiate with their Steward to allow my Guild Headquarters to stay in their Domain and seek asylum," Lux stated. "If that doesn't work, I will have to think of something else. Fortunately, the floating island where my Guild Headquarters is erected is able to move and travel anywhere in the world. If the Crystal Palace won't grant us Asylum, I can look for another place that we can call our temporary home."

Although the world of Elysium might be big, the fact still remained that his Guild Headquarters was located in Karshvar Draconis.

Since the Dragon King didn't want to help him, he needed to seek help elsewhere.

What Lux needed right now was time.

Time to help his Guild grow and become strong enough to face the opponents that were out of their current league.

He believed that as long as they were given sufficient time, the research that they were doing and the weapons of war that they were creating in the background would be completed.

When that happened, it wouldn't matter who came looking for them for trouble.

On the contrary, it would become the opposite. With the floating fortress able to travel wherever they want in the world, they would be the ones who would cause trouble for the fools who wanted to nip them all in the bud.

 

 

Chapter 799 Pleasure Beyond Words [Part 1]

"The thing that worries me a bit is how the Xynnar War Pact will react to this news," Alexander said. "As you all already know, our area of operations is within their territories. There might be idiots who will jump at this opportunity and make things difficult for our factions."

"I don't see any problem with this," Maximilian replied as he cleaned his right ear with his middle finger. "We have three Saints on our side. We can always destroy a city or two to remind them who they are dealing with."

Vera and Alexander sighed after hearing Maximilian's words. The Saint of the Rowan Tribe had always resorted to using strength and violence to intimidate those who dared to try harming his people.

This was why he could move unhindered within the Six Kingdoms, making them all grant safe passage to their Nomadic Tribe, which migrated on a seasonal basis.

"Violence is not always the answer, Maximilian," Vera replied.

"But it works," Maximilian countered. "Although the Divine Army uses coercion to make other Kingdoms and Empires submit to them, their way of doing things is no different from the way I do things. Since that is the case, let's just destroy stuff so that people won't have the wrong idea."

"Un!" Eiko, who was perched on top of Lux's head, liked Maximilian's idea and agreed heartfully. "Make their cities go boom!"

"See?" Maximilian chuckled as he looked at the feisty Baby Slime who would not hesitate to use a tactical nuke to protect her Papa and Mama. "Eiko knows what she's talking about."

"Very well." Alexander agreed. "But we'll only do that as a last resort. As long as we act discreetly and do not harm the innocent, I am fine with this plan."

Vera also reluctantly nodded her head. She thought that she had lost Lux when the Spear of Longinus had bypassed her defenses. At that moment, the only thing on her mind was to kill people.

If the same thing happened again then she was certain that she would personally wage war against the DIvine Army of Light and destroy their cities, one city at a time.

"Now, let's talk about other things," Maximilian grinned. "Boy, what are your plans about the last Gate of the Apocalypse? You're not planning to go there, right?"

Lux shook his head firmly. "I won't be going there at this time. After I go to the Crystal Palace, I intend to go to Agartha."

"Agartha?" Alexander arched an eyebrow. "Are you talking about that Legendary Kingdom that is deep underground and located near the Core of Elysium?"

"Yes, Father," Lux replied. "I plan to go to that place."

"Interesting." Alexander narrowed his gaze. "Do you have a way to get there?"

Lux nodded. "I received a key from the Sacred Dungeon when I cleared it. It will allow me to instantly travel to that place, similar to how I traveled to Karshvar Draconis in the past."

"You sure have a lot of good stuff with you," Maximilian commented. He didn't even bother to hide the envy in his voice because he was someone who liked to travel.

If only he could go to the Dragon Kingdom, as well as the City that was said to have existed when the world was created, then he would truly be able to call himself someone that had traveled to the most exotic places in Elysium.

The small talk continued for thirty more minutes before everyone decided that it was time to rest.

The three Saints had also agreed on the countermeasures that they thought of making when the news of Lux being hunted by the Divine Army reached their territories. Just like Alexander had said, Maximilian's plan was a last resort.

The first thing that they planned to do was introduce Vera to the Xynnar War Pact, allowing them to know that they had another Saint on their side.I think you should take a look at

If that deterrence didn't work, they would just go with Maximilian's plan and attack the Royal Palace of the first Kingdom that decided to jump on the Divine Army's bandwagon. If they set an example, the other rulers would think twice before angering them, which would be detrimental to their rule.

Lux, Iris, and Cai went to the blue-haired beauty's residence because this was where they would always go whenever they were in Barbatos Academy.

The first thing they did was have a bath together. Since Eiko and Fei Fei were with them, Lux controlled himself to the best of his abilities.

However, the Half-Elf could not stop his eyes from wandering to Iris' and Cai's thighs, making his body heat up and his breathing to grow ragged.

In the end, he decided to leave first because he felt that if he stayed longer, he might lose control and bury his face in those heavenly thighs that seemed to cloud his judgment.

Iris and Cai also noticed Lux's strange behavior and wondered if he was simply too tired from the things he experienced before he returned to Barbatos Academy.

"What's wrong?" Iris asked as she wrapped her arms around Lux's head, burying his face between her well-shaped breasts. "Are you tired?"

"No," Lux replied as he returned Iris' hug, enjoying the softness of her breast, and the fragrant smell of her body after she finished bathing.

Iris smiled then lightly patted Lux's head as if to assure him that everything was fine.

A moment later, the door of the room opened, and Cai arrived wearing a one-piece white night dress that highlighted the color of her sun-kissed skin.

"Eiko and Fei Fei are now asleep in the other room," Cai reported as she sat beside Lux, who was currently being hugged by Iris. "Good thing both of them were tired, so they quickly fell asleep after having a bath."

"Good," Iris replied before pulling back, and cupping Lux's face. She then kissed the Half-Elf's lips and kissed him some more.

A moment later, Lux found himself lying on the bed, with the two beautiful ladies servicing his manhood.

Right in front of his face were Cai's thighs, which made him gulp subconsciously.

As if his hands had a mind of their own, they moved to hold onto Cai's waist as he pulled her closer to him. Although this wasn't the first time that they had done it in this position, he was unable to stay composed as his weakness was laid bare in front of him.

Suddenly, a cute moan escaped the High-Priestess' lips as Lux started kissing her thigh, sending a shiver running down her spine.

The Half-Elf's willpower wavered and went on the offensive.

This made his second fiance bite her lips in an attempt to stifle the moans of pleasure that were on the verge of escaping.

As if wanting to hear the cute sounds that only she could make, the Half-Elf decided to increase his pace, using his tongue and lips to tease the beautiful pink petals that were right in front of his face.

Soon, Cai was no longer able to endure, and her moans of pleasure echoed inside the room.

This fanned the flames of desire inside Lux's chest and made him more determined to eat up his second Fiance, whose seductive voice was starting to drive him crazy.

 

 

Chapter 800 Pleasure Beyond Words [Part 2] - R18

Pleasure-filled moans echoed inside the room as Iris clenched the bed sheets tightly.

She noticed that her beloved was quite different tonight, and this difference showed in how he made love to her.

Lux was usually calm and even somewhat playful during their intimate moments, but now, he was moving his hips roughly, pushing himself deep inside her with every thrust, sending waves of pleasure throughout her body.

Cai lay beside Iris, feeling exhausted after the Half-Elf had kissed and licked her maidenhood until she reached her climax.

Perhaps due to the pent-up desires that Lux had accumulated, he was now going all out with the blue-haired beauty, whose hair was spread out on the white sheets like a waterfall.

Lux could feel how tight she was, and yet, her folds gently wrapped around his member, making him feel incredibly good.

With every thrust, he could feel her insides getting more wet, and he knew with utmost certainty that very soon, he would also reach his limit.

The sound of their union faintly echoed inside the room, making Cai, who was lying beside Iris, feel as if she was the one being pistoned by the handsome Half-Elf, whose skin glistened with sweat.

Suddenly, the blue-haired beauty's body arched up as she reached her fourth, as well as her strongest orgasm, painting her world white, and making her fall into a daze.

At the same time, a grunt escaped Lux's lips as he, too, reached his limit and poured his seed inside his fiance.

Marking her womb as something that belonged only to him, and making her feel as if she was melting from the inside out.

"So… hot," Iris muttered as she regained her consciousness. Her body shuddered uncontrollably due to the incredible pleasure that she had never felt before.

Perhaps, due to the intensity of their deed, she wasn't able to control her bladder.

Soon, Lux felt something hot hitting his lower abdomen as his fiance's body fell helplessly on the bed, completely drained from their lovemaking.

Lux gazed down at Iris, whose body was still trembling. His orgasm still hadn't ended, and his seed was still pouring inside of her

Her debauched expression, which he rarely saw, made his member that was still kissing the entrance of her womb twitch, seemingly eager to go for another round.

However, after seeing that Iris seemed to have fainted, he fought off this impulse and reluctantly moved his hips back.

His essence overflowed from her entrance, soaking the already wet bedsheets with more of their love juices.

Even Lux couldn't believe the amount of essence he had poured inside Iris, making him feel guilty for making her lose consciousness.

Lux closed his eyes as he soaked in the afterglow of their lovemaking. But, when he felt something soft and wet hold his little brother in its grip, he once again opened his eyes to see what was happening.

Cai, who seemed to have recovered from her earlier exhaustion, was cleaning his member with a flushed face. I think you should take a look at

The High Priestess of the Rowan Tribe, whom everyone held sacred, was currently servicing the red-headed teenager with her soft and sensual lips, making Lux breathe hoarsely.

"Cai…," Lux's voice was raspy, and even ragged as if fighting the strong urge to pin down the High Priestess, who was also his second fiance. "Any more than this and I might…"

Cai, who could tell that Lux was doing his best to stop himself from pinning her down on the bed, released the raging dragon from her lips and looked up at the handsome Half-Elf, whose face was now painted with love and lust.

"It's fine," Cai said as she cupped Lux's face, bringing it closer to her. She then whispered in his ears, "I decided that the next time we met, I would give you my everything. Make me yours, Lux. Mark me as your woman."

The Half-Elf took a deep breath as Cai's words made something snap inside of him. Even so, at the last moment, he regained his sanity and wrapped his arms around Cai's body before whispering in her ears.

"Are you sure?" Lux asked as the burning desire in his chest threatened to burn his reason.

His hard and erect manhood pressed against Cai's abdomen, making her feel how hard and hot it was. It was like a burning rod, and with a single word from her, it would pierce her and take the one thing that she had protected since the day of her birth.

"Yes," Cai replied with utmost certainty. "Tonight will be the night that you and I will become one."

With trembling hands, Lux gently laid Cai down on the bed before kissing her passionately on the lips.

His right hand moved to grope her right breast, kneading it, and play with the pink nipple, which had now become hard under his caress.

Just like Iris, Cai also felt that Lux seemed to be more aroused than usual. After sharing a long and passionate kiss, the Half-Elf started to peck Cai's neck, which looked very erotic at the moment, leaving marks on her sun-kissed skin.

Lux continued to kiss downwards until his lips reached her left breast. He then licked her nipple once before putting it inside his mouth and sucking hard on it.

Cai gasped out of shock and pain as she heard a popping sound the moment Lux released her nipple from his mouth.

The pain didn't last long as Lux lightly nibbled the pink tip, while his right hand trailed down to Cai's lower abdomen, leaving a tingling sensation in its wake.

This time, the Half-Elf shifted his attention to Cai's right breast, sucking it as hard as he did the other. At that exact moment, he also used his finger to pry apart Cai's pink petals, which were already dripping with anticipation.

Without warning, Lux lightly pinched the pearl near the entrance of her cave, making Cai gasp for the second time.

Five minutes later, faint kiss marks could be seen on Cai's alluring body as Lux marked her breast, her cleavage, her abdomen, as well as the place that was directly on top of her womb.

Lux could tell that he could no longer hold back, so after giving Cai one last kiss on the lips, he spread her legs apart.

The High Priestess' body trembled as Lux rubbed his member at her entrance, coating it with her juices, in preparation for what was about to come next.
