I, Necromancer Chapter 10

A content sigh leaves the lips of Fleurdelys, Zani and Changli as the three naked women dip their bodies below the hot, steaming waters of the thermal baths.

Zani nearly falls asleep on the spot, melting in place, leaning back and closing her eyes to enjoy the warmth seeping into her body.

Fleurdelys instead hums, a content smile on her face, "It feels wrong to enjoy such a gift when I didn't really do much." She sighs out, shoulders sagging as the warm waters splash around her, her long hair tied in a high bun.

She hadn't really done anything during the horde, or when dealing against the Eternal Forest. She instead just floated high in the sky to keep a watch on both sides, ready to intervene if something too powerful shows up.

But while the flowers did manage to attract Ultimate Class beasts, Fleurdelys had quickly noticed that they were the weakest possible within that Class, which showed the limit of what the flowers were capable of attracting.

Stronger beasts could ignore the immense allure of that powerful scent it released.

"You were there for increased security." Changli moans out softly, dipping herself down to her neck within the thermal waters, a smile on her lips, "I felt much more at ease knowing that you were there in case anything went bad."

"Formations sometimes can stop working suddenly, especially if they are used for an extensive amount of time." Fleurdelys hums, then leans back and allows the slight tension within her shoulders to melt away.

Her Queen had done all the work, then even gave her and the others such an immense present that could tempt anyone. Even now, she still could feel herself grow stronger.

Slowly, but it was constant. Always there. And she doubted it'll go away anytime soon.

Truly, her Queen kept spoiling her more and more. Her heart couldn't handle such constant care. Or the looks he often gives her.

"Someone's thinking about Scaith…" Fleurdelys startles out of her thoughts and throws a scathing yet playful glare towards Zani, who just gives her a half-lidded stare right back.

"Can I not daydream about my wonderful Queen?" The horned beauty huffs out, cheeks totally flushed from the heat.

Zani just keeps staring flatly, "Why daydream when you could savor him and experience the real thing?" She states, her thick accent coming back as a playful grin spreads across her face, "That's what I do, after all."

Changli flushes fiercely at that, "O-Oh my…" Her hands come up to cover her mouth, eyes darting between the two ladies staring at each other, making for quite the alluring sight.

Fleur pouts, cheeks puffing cutely, "Sullying my dear Scaith for your own pleasure…" The horned woman huffs out, earning a snort from Zani.

"Like you wouldn't pounce on him to satisfy yourself." The exiled Agares points out, "I doubt you haven't noticed the way he looks at you and your… Assets." Both Zani and Changli glance at the twin giant orbs floating in the water before Fleurdelys.

Then, as one, they glance down at their own large chests. Fleur dwarfed theirs in size, and were over two times bigger than theirs.

Smug, the ashen-blonde woman wraps her arms beneath her twin mountains, eyes twinkling with mischief, "My dear Scaith obviously recognizes a woman that can properly nurture children."

Zani blinks at that, "Damn… Already thinking about bearing his children? As in, multiple?" Fleur blinks, realizes what she said, then flushes something fierce. "Wow, saying such things before marriage-" A geyser of hot water swallows Zani whole before she could finish speaking.

Gnashing her teeth, Fleurdelys turns away with a face as red as a tomato, "I am the last member of my House! O-Of course I wish to rebuild it!"

Changli keeps her mouth covered, her cheeks puffed up as she restrains her amused giggles, eyes crinkled from effort while Zani slowly reemerges from being swallowed by the hot waters, her gaze still as flat as ever, "Why get angry over the truth? Just pounce on him already."

Flustered, Fleur slaps the surface of the steaming water before her, "T-There's a time and place for such things! It must be special!"

Zani blinks very slowly, "You're a virgin, aren't you-" Another geyser swallows her whole, and Changli couldn't hold her laughter back any longer.

Huffing and recovering her composure, Fleurdelys puts a shaky smile on her face, "A-Anyway-" She coughs into her fist, throwing a fierce glare towards Zani once she resurfaces, "Now that the Eternal Forest has been destroyed, where should we set our territory?"

Zani blinks and raises a brow, "Shouldn't Scaith be here for this talk? He is basically the brain of the Peerage."

Changli perks up at that, "Sir Scaith does all the planning?" She questions curiously, earning a fond nod from Fleurdelys.

"Everything so far has been planned and suggested by him. He enjoys the mental exercises." The King laughs softly, a warm light in her eyes, "But I do not wish to rely too much on him, and I think he thinks so too. I'd rather he has time to focus on his own art than handling future plans."

Zani hums at that, her gaze lowering in thought, "That's fair, I guess." She then shrugs, making the water splash around her, "Plans can be made and he can give his opinion. Having him always do all the work would be unfair."

Fleur nods, a relieved smile on her face, "I want him to rely on us as much as we rely on him." She states, relaxing and leaning back against the stones at the edge of the warm thermal pool.

The pink-haired beauty from the Phenex Clan hums softly, then tilts her head to the side, "Why not use the site of battle against the horde, then?" She suggests, earning the attention of her two new comrades, "There is a Leyline there, and it is close to the Eternal Forest grounds I can easily gain bargain for, which I require to support my Alchemy."

Zani nods in agreement at the idea brought up, "Plus, it is neither too close nor too far from No Man's Land. That means minimal stragglers that won't really be a problem."

Fleur nods at the good point both Zani and Changli rose, her eyes dipping low in thought, "I believe the Forging Sect also takes building requests, yes?" The Phenex beauty blinks, then nods.

"Yes, and it doesn't usually cost that much either if you go for more mundane materials." She points out, brushing a hand through her hair to move them behind her ear, "Plus, they are also good at building well-defended walls with all kinds of weaponry… Not that you need it, thanks to Scaith."

Fleur shakes her head despite the smile on her face, "Best to have it and not need it, just to be safe." Within her mind, Fleur reminds herself to approach that High Preceptor woman.

Her skills with Formations and Array were invaluable, and having one built to be there as a last resort for the settlement – then hopeful city – would allow her to relax while she and the rest go out during expeditions in No Man's Land.

"What about the Peerage?" Fleurdelys asks, glancing at both of her subordinates, "What do you think we require?"

Both women hum softly in thought. Zani knew that Scaith could fill in any spot they lacked through his Necromancy and a decent corpse that fits the bill.

Like with Lu Bu being another much needed front-line fighter. Zani was one herself, with Fleurdelys being another.

His Ancestors and the giant meatball monster covered the need of a powerful Spellcaster, and supporters to boot thanks to the giant meatball's incredibly powerful Support Spells.

But having more could never hurt. "A Spellcaster, and an assassin." Zani states after a good minute of silence, though she had no idea where a decent assassin could be found.

Fleurdelys breathes out at mention of a Spellcaster. Any proper Leviathan would have a powerful Sitri behind them, their maid or butler or assistant.

Scaith was filling that spot with one of his Undead, but it was different.

As a Leviathan, her Clan Trait gave her more than just control over water and assume her true form, but she also had control over aquatic demonic beasts.

Beasts tended by a Sitri, growing them into powerful tools for large scale battles.

Fleurdelys remembers the gargantuan beasts her mother and Mother Lilith had made and nurtured for her as a birthday gift, but were now long gone.

She'd recruit a Sitri, but now she was at odds with the whole House due to that four-eyed vermin… Everyone but the woman that had assisted her back then.

Cantarella, if she remembers right. The bewitching beauty who had gently helped calm her down when Fleurdelys had first woken up and teleported back 'home' in worry and fear.

'Perhaps I should find a way to approach her…' The horned beauty ponders internally, before dismissing that thought for later. "We would be hard pressed to find a decent assassin." She muses after a bit.

The Supernatural World has countless methods to detect assassins, hence why the best method of assassination was to simply poison one's food or wine or drinks.

Perhaps there was a Sacred Gear out there fit to help one become a proper assassin, but Fleurdelys had never heard of a Clan of Assassins before.

Not even the Morningstar himself bothered creating a Devil House with a Clan Trait that helps one be stealthy, in fact.

"My suggestion would be a Formation or Talisman Master." Changli speaks up, "But Sir Scaith already started working towards that, and I believe Miss Yi Xuan was actually interested. Whether she joins is up to her, though…"

Fleur hums softly, "Would there be anything I could offer to perhaps sway her further?"

Changli shakes her head, "She is sort of an ascetic…" Her cheeks flush as she averts her gaze, "T-Though she is quite… Interested in Sir Scaith as a Dao Companion."

Fleurdelys' eyebrow twitches. It truly was hard having an incredibly handsome Queen, wasn't it?

Was every single female member of her Peerage going to lust after him?!

...She couldn't really blame them, if so.

Soon, the three ladies finished their relaxing dip in the thermal waters and wrapped their bodies in the long coats offered by the lavish inn they were resting at.

Once out, they stepped within the large shared room they were occupying, only to pause when they found Scaith already there.

His long white and black hair cascaded down his back and framed his soft face, his eyes and peculiar pupils darting towards them and widening momentarily at the sight of the tree freshly bathed beauties wrapped in those loose robes that further accentuated their curves.

Especially Fleurdelys', whose stature made the robes even more risque than usual.

Scaith himself was clad in said loose robes, which gave him a soft feminine charm that gave all three women pause, a faint dusting of pink on their cheeks.

Sat before Scaith and smashing a card on the table was the towering form of the Undead Lu Bu, a furious snarl on his grayed face, eyes burning with pale green flames.

Scaith blinks and turns back to the card game between him and the giant, over two meters tall Undead, then swiftly puts down a card on top of Lu Bu's one. "Draw four cards now."

Despite being Undead, all three ladies swore they heard Lu Bu pop a vein right then and there, his eyebrows twitching profusely.

"That's a lot of attitude coming from a dead dude…" Zani whispers, before returning her gaze towards Scaith.

Stepping forward in order to avoid having her wonderful Queen be sullied by her Knight once more, Fleurdelys smiles and takes a seat besides Scaith, causing her two twin mountains to nearly bounce free from their robes due to that small movement.

And Scaith had no idea where to look.

"What card game is this, my dear Scaith?" Fleurdelys smiles, leaning close to him, showing all of her cleavage within his field of view, "It looks both fun and frustrating."

And like that, Scaith ended up teaching the ladies how to play Uno. It did not go well.

Zani ended up getting into a fight with Lu Bu after dropping three Draw Four and two skips on him.

Consecutively.

The mad roar of the Strongest Beneath the Heavens shook the whole Chinese Faction that night.

~~XXX~~

The Sephiroth Graal slowly fades away, and I swiftly down a Mind Recovery Pill while sitting back, massaging my temples from the horrid migraine.

I've pushed it badly this time. Very, very badly.

I had everything prepared, yet even that still made my mind break. The Principles of Life and Death being whispered directly into my brain… It is insanely alluring, especially due to my goals, but my mind is still unable to handle this form of backlash.

I can't even take my time in learning it, because it is just rudely shoved into my head constantly, not giving me time to focus. It is like happening upon something Eldritch…

It is given to me, and I understand it for all the moments I hold it, but the more I do hold onto it, the more my mind deteriorates.

And when I let go of it, I feel empty. That sudden knowledge is gone. I can remember it, but I can't remember it.

The Sephiroth Graal is the epitome of Eldritch Knowledge. Even a God of Death would surely go crazy over such a tool.

I sigh and shake my head, thankful for the Mind Recovery Pills that make all of this better to handle. This helped me push forward and finish this small project of mine, which can fix the flaw in my Necromancy.

Using corpses as puppets is one thing, but after a certain point I cannot control each of them with perfect precision. They'll be clumsy, given an order in massive groups, thus it will be harder to make them adapt and do quick maneuvers.

The solution to this would naturally be a Soul. Bringing a Soul back before it can be fully processed by a God of Death, binding it to my bidding, and it'll work.

The Undead will be able to learn, to grow, to think and make plans. My Undead Minions are slightly similar.

But after careful study, what I've learned is that an Undead Minion makes use of the memories the Soul has left imprinted onto the body. As the host, the body naturally remembers what the Soul learns, so that's why Rhapthorne can still use his array of magical knowledge.

And why Lu Bu, the man who is said to have pushed Touki to a realm no one has ever touched since his death, is able to wield his Touki and his martial knowledge like he were alive.

But I cannot replicate this effect on other monsters. I don't need them to remember what they were capable of doing in life, I need them to learn and become better.

Hence, instead of enslaving a Soul… I created one.

By using left-over energies absorbed by the Souls of the monsters from the beast horde, I managed to create a Soul. One like that of a child, but a Soul nonetheless.

And it still nearly shattered my mind just doing this.

I raise my head and stare at the towering Flood Dragon that has been a loyal pet I've been tearing apart a bit too often, making me feel quite bad.

I've give it the young, nascent Soul, effectively nearly bringing it back to life. It'll grow quickly, it'll learn even faster, all of that while regaining control of that Core within its head.

Beasts like this have powerful techniques within its blood. Powerful techniques that in death I cannot make use off unless maybe it becomes an Undead Minion… Or give it a Soul that learns everything the body has to offer.

Once I have the piece of the Holy Grail, I'll be able to do this for my whole Undead army, and have it become truly terrifying, and no longer just some stupid puppets with a lousy batter charge.

"Did you call for me, Sir Scaith?" I perk up and smile turning to face the beautiful and gentle Changli, white and pink robes wrapped around her in a way that make her appear both bewitching and adorable.

I raise an amused brow at her as she takes a seat next to me, "Sir?" I repeat, earning a small flush on her cheeks.

"I-I am used to seniority and stuff…" The Phenex beauty explains.

I hum, then grin, "Shouldn't it be 'Senior Brother', then?" Her cheeks flush even more, and she pouts adorably at me.

"Did you have me come here just to bully me?" So cute. Definitely worth bullying her more.

I chuckle and shake my head, "No, I have plenty of time to do that now that you are a comrade." Her pout grows bigger, but I soon have her attention turn towards my colossal Flood Dragon, "I actually have a question for you; I believe the art of Beast Taming is very well known among Sects, yes?"

Life-bound beasts are a thing. Many Cultivators have powerful pets raised from birth as their partners or guardians, or even a Guardian Beast of a powerful Clan that is quite old and powerful, enough so to be capable of speech.

Changli blinks at my question, "Indeed. The Spiritual Slave Mark is easy to make, I've learned how to do it myself." I nod at that. That's good, so this will work out.

With a smile, I wave my hand towards the giant Flood Dragon, "This guy is yours then. Go ahead and put a Slave Mark on its Soul." Her eyes blow wide open, and her mouth starts gaping soon after.

"P-Pardon…?" Heh, cute. "I-I thought it was dead?"

I chuckle softly, "It technically still is. I just created a new Soul with the Sephiroth Graal and placed it inside it." I turn away from her to stare at the giant Ultimate Class beast, "Give it time to develop, and soon enough the Soul I placed in it will be able to learn and use all the abilities this Flood Dragon knew in life."

Changli gulps loudly, her head slowly turning to look at her gift, "B-But why give it to me?"

I hum and lean back, then just shrug, "I know you are strong and a capable fighter, but consider this a way for me to be relaxed, knowing that you'll have such a powerful beast beside you in case of emergencies."

The pink haired beauty wets her lips, before nodding slowly, a brilliant smile soon spreading across her face, "T-Then, thank you… Senior Brother." She bashfully says, nearly making my heart clench right then and there.

"Don't. I don't think my heart can handle it." She bursts out laughing at that, any bashfulness replaced by bewitching mischievousness. "But I am glad you accepted this gift. You'll soon be the treasure of our Peerage, so others will try to stifle the immense growth only you are capable of supplying."

She perks up, eyes widening in shock and also pride at my praise, "Would I truly incite such a reaction?"

I wet my lips and sigh through my nostrils, "We are already growing at an insane pace. And achieving things others work hard for decades in order to have a shot at them." I turn to regard her with serious eyes, "Your Pills? Your Dragon Body Pill? It'll push the army even further. It'll push us further too."

"Only the blind will miss the contributions you will soon make, so you are sure to be a target for any major group that will stand against us. Hence the added protection."

Lu Bu is going to protect me now, so I can afford to give away the Flood Dragon. I've abused it enough.

"I understand. You have my thanks, Sir Scaith." Again with the 'sir'… I'm starting to feel old.

"Speaking of which; How are the tests for the Dragon Body Pill?" Now that we are back at the mansion, we can afford to relax and spend time doing our own things, so Changli swiftly shot to perfecting the Dragon Body Pill she spoke off.

The Forging Sect has already been requested in building the groundwork for our soon to be settlement and city, which will require roughly a month.

They are very fast, and this would take even less time in truth, but they are currently also assisting in the reconstruction efforts, repairing what the Eternal Forest took from them for one.

I've also heard that many Sects have started raising protests because none of them are getting shares of the Eternal Forest hyper fertile soil, all because they did not offer any help.

Many refused because of us Devils taking part in the efforts against the Eternal Forest, others because they saw no hope. And now it came to bite them in the ass.

Alas, the Sword Master is sure to beat countless people to death. The guy is surprisingly easy to get along, and even bowed to me for giving him the chance to fight alongside Lu Bu.

"Oh! I should be able to perfectly refine it by the end of the week!" Changli explains happily, "I already have the perfect measurements and quantity for all the other ingredients put down, I just need to run more tests to find the correct quantity of Dragon Blood to use, then I'll just have to practice the cycles enough that the Pills Refined are of High Grade or above!"

I cup my chin at that, "Will you be able to refine enough for the army, though?" I question and she lowers her gaze in thought.

"For the current one? I'm sure I'll be able to do that. Within a month or less at that, too." She then sighs softly, "But if the army reaches the presumed estimates Lady Fleurdelys and Zani told me about, then I won't have enough. At least not until I prepare my garden and have the required ingredients grow and stock up enough."

Yeah, that is indeed the problem. With the massive army, she'll require an immense amount of ingredients and materials to support her Refinements.

The ingredients which usually take ages to grow will do so at a much faster rate thanks to the mysterious properties of the soil left behind by the Eternal Forest. But that, again, still requires time.

I narrow my gaze, and my thoughts stray for a moment, "The army might have conflicted feeling if there is too big of a gap in strength between them." We can already arm them with gear from the Flood Dragon, as the Forging Sect has gathered enough to make insane amounts of gear.

It still isn't ready, but we'll put that request out only after the settlement is fully ready and built. Making the new recruit look at the well equipped army will do them well, as they'll be promised with such gear themselves and will get to witness it in action very often until it lands in their hands.

Changli nods, then pauses, "What if we had the army practice Qi?" She suggests, bringing me to a pause.

"Wouldn't going through Realms and stuff take too much time and resources, though?" While I am interested in it due to making use of it for my Necromancy, I don't think it would do well to make our whole army follow this practice. Not unless we are truly filthy rich.

Changli shakes her head with a smile, "If we go through that path of Cultivation, yes! But there is another way, more simple yet still very powerful!"

Fully turning to me, her beautiful face is overflowing with excitement and giddiness as she speaks, "I can impart on them a Foundational Cultivation Technique based on breathing. It will purify their body and draw in Qi, strengthening them and nourishing their bodies in the process!"

"This path of Cultivation is based more on pure physical hard work than meditation-" Ah, so more Wuxia than Xianxia. "-but will still bring immense results!"

I hum at that. The idea is indeed quite good, but… "Physical exhaustion is no joke." I point out, and Changli grins.

"I have a Pill recipe from the Mount Hua Sect called the Plum Blossom Pill. It revitalizes the body and soothes the nerves, is laughably easy and fast to Refine, and its ingredients are very common and cheap too. I can easily refine ten-thousand of these Pills each day to feed our army, especially since it'll also boost their Qi little by little."

I palm my lower face and sigh deeply through my nostrils, "Now you realize why I had to give you this guy, yeah?" I wave at the Flood Dragon in front of us, and Changli slumps instantly.

"Yes, I do…" She's a damn treasure indeed.

Chuckling softly, I shake my head and stand up, offering her one of my hands, "Let's go bring this up to Fleurdelys. I'm sure she'll love this idea of yours." Changli smiles and takes the offered hand to stand up herself, her gaze falling on the Flood Dragon one last time before we move to go back inside.

Rias was here to welcome us back, but she wasn't alone this time, as Akeno sat on the couch beside her, polite smile always in place.

"Surprised you haven't raided the kitchen for more muffins yet, Rias." I joke as I make my presence known, making the redhead jump, literal stars of hunger in her eyes.

"Muffins?! Where?!" ...Did I put drugs inside those things without knowing? No, just chocolate shards, far as I am aware…

"...I don't think any survived your previous ravenous assault, apologies." Her cheeks flush and puff up angrily, making me grin at her adorable display. "Right, Changli here has an idea to share, Fleur."

Fleurdelys perks up, a warm smile on her face as I give Changli an encouraging push forward.

Despite her nervousness, she eagerly shares her idea and possible way of improving the army without stuttering once, while also sharing what the main problems would be.

"In the end, time and resources will always be our main obstacle." My beautiful King sighs out, a frown on her face, "I'd approach the Agares for assistance in such a matter, but I doubt they'd even accept such a request after the Rating Game."

That's true. Zani's Clan Trait robs time, and while she can give it to others, it isn't gentle. It forces the target to painfully age through the given years, thus it might harm the plants.

Plus, she requires that energy for her Clan Trait, so it is better not to waste it.

"What if I ask them?" Rias suddenly offers, eyes wide and cheerful.

Fleurdelys blinks, "Would they accept the request if you go in my stead?"

The redhead shakes her head and smiles, "Seekvaira is a friend of mine, but I can just trick her." The redhead shrugs, surprising even Akeno with the way the Queen startles and widens her eyes in shock, "I can just tell her that the land I want her to place her Time Fields on is a gift to me from you. You'd get super fertile soil with a Time Field where each hour outside is a whole day inside."

And coupled with the fertile soil being able to make plants grow entire years worth in just a few months… Changli would have top of the line ingredients within weeks. Maybe even less.

"And you'd be willing to trick your friend to help us?" Fleurdelys asks, a very intense gaze on her face, while Rias just instantly nods happily.

Then turns to me with wide, sparkling eyes, "Am I doing it right?!"

I blink, then gape, "Are you… Trying to be shrewd like me?!"

Once more, the adorable busty redhead nods her head up and down rapidly, huge happy smile on her face.

I sigh, and pull back my sleeves, "Fine, more muffins it is."

Her hands soon shoot in the air, "Yay!"

I want to fuck her silly so bad, damn it.

….

I furrow my brows focusing deeply as the Sephiroth Graals spin in a circle, their milky white radiance gathered in a sphere.

The gentle light pulses, like a radar, each pulse sending a short pang of pain through my mind.

Luckily, I am using my Sense Death Skill to synergize with the Sephiroth Graals, thus making the strain incredibly small, to the point I can easily handle it and ignore it.

With the general direction given to me thanks to the improved Sense Death, I use the Graal as a radar, each pulse being another Soul studied and ignored when it is the wrong one.

Until, finally, the Grail pulses and flashes, making my eyes widen.

I grin, ignoring the flash of pain that erupts into my head as I reach out and grab that Soul, then yank it through and into the milky white sphere made by the Graal.

A large, deep blue Soul soon appears before me, and I feel it 'wake up' and look around curiously. "What… Is this place…?" A powerful and deep female voice shakes the air, before I feel her presence lock down on me.

Even in death, she is still insanely powerful, huh?

"What have you done to me-"

"Apologies, ma'am." I cut the woman off, a light smile on my face, "I won't be able to hold you here for too long, so it is best we make this time worth it."

The Soul before me wobbles, almost in confusion, "What do you mean, child?"

I don't answer, and instead step to the side the moment I hear a knock on the door. "Scaith, you called for me?" The door opens, and Fleurdelys floats inside in all of her radiant beauty.

And instantly I feel the summoned Soul lock up.

I give Fleur a warm smile and beckon her closer, "A present for you." I whisper to her, making her cutely tilt her head to the side in confusion.

That's when the Soul held by the Sephiroth Gralls speaks up, "...My little eel?" The voice is soft, shaky, and afraid. But also overflowing with hope.

Fleur freezes on the spot, her eyes blowing wide open as her lips quiver, "...Mother?" My smile grows more warm as she sends a look of utter shock and hope towards me.

"I can't hold this for long, so go ahead. I'll leave you two ladies to catch up." With that, I take my leave out of the room and walk a bit down the hallway before taking a seat on the floor.

I lean back against the wall with a sigh and give my aching temples a slight rub. The things I do to show my growing affection.

I gotta admit that I joined this Peerage due to my ambition and my desire for the power gained from the Mutated Queen Piece, but… Things are changing quite fast, I'll admit.

Having soldiers to take care off and who strangely look up to me and respect me is quite… Nice. Having others to rely on is the same.

I thought I'd have to give up on anything, even the small pleasures, in order to achieve my ambition, hence why I spent a good while traveling to enjoy as much as possible before I started putting going down the path of Necromancy.

And yet, thanks to Fleurdelys, what I was willing to give up on ended up surrounding me nonetheless.

Zani is fun to have around, her laziness being insanely entertaining.

And Changli is a wellspring of knowledge she'll eagerly share, making me excited to learn more stuff that can fit with my Necromancy.

And Fleurdelys is… Well, she's Fleurdelys. Fun, beautiful, adorable, strong as hell and incredibly sexy. It is getting harder and harder to resist her.

Plus, her pouts during our game of Uno were just fantastic.

I still can't believe Zani ended up getting into a fist fight with Lu Bu over the damn card game…

Still…

I frown and glance back towards the door I came out from. I found the Original Leviathan's Soul, but… I couldn't find the Morningstar's.

I felt it, it was there, but I couldn't reach it. It felt… Broken?

What the fuck did he do to kill the big guy?

I shake my head and stand up, then leave the hallway and return downstairs to the living room.

Where Rias is still stuffing her face with muffins. The muffins I kept in the over for later.

Her eyes shoot towards me in alarm, wide and nervous, crumbs all over her face, while Akeno looks about done with her life currently.

"Apologies, I tried to stop her, but…" She nods towards Rias, who proceeds to shove a whole ass muffin between her cleavage, cleans her face up, swallows what was in her mouth, then takes a seat and crosses her legs in a very regal manner.

"Oh, Scaith!" She greets, bright smile on her face, as if I didn't just catch her steal food and eat it like a druggie, "Can I come over to eat more often? Your food is very tasty!"

I just… Stare, while trying not to laugh.

It gets harder when Rias shoots Akeno a glance and whispers, "Hide the proof! Quickly!" Akeno sighs, both exasperated and amused at once, then grabs the tray missing half the muffins and moves towards the kitchen.

"Quite the glutton, aren't you?" I comment, approaching Rias with a smile as she shuffles in place on the couch, my eyes drinking in the delightful view of her expansive cleavage.

She averts her eyes, avoiding my gaze nervously, "I-I dunno what you're talking about-" I reach out and cup her chin, lifting up and turning her head so her eyes met mine.

A bright, burning flush as red as her hair soon blooms across her face as I smirk, "Lying to my face now, hm?" Her legs quiver and rub against each other, and her teeth nibble on her lower lip, "Perhaps some punishment is in order, no?"

She gulps loudly, yet doesn't pull away, "P-Punishment?" She squeaks out, nervous yet excited, "O-Of what kind?"

My smirk grows as I hum, "Well, a bad girl gets spanked, no?" She quivers and flares her nostrils, while her arms squish her large chest together, making her cleavage stand out even more, the buttons of her shirt struggling to contain those twin mountains.

"T-They do…" Rias slowly nods and licks her lips, and I notice her throwing a quick warning glance to her right. I turn to follow her line of sight, but all I catch was Akeno's figure flashing before she disappears, clearly having teleported away.

I turn back to Rias with a raised brow and an amused smile on my lips, "Leaving her King to suffer the punishment all alone, what a bad Queen you have…"

Rias gives me a shaky yet excited smile, "Maybe she had something to do?" I snort at that flimsy excuse, yet feel a small amount of respect for Akeno. She quickly made herself scarce the moment she realized her King was about to get laid.

I open my mouth, but stop when the sound of soft footsteps reaches my ears. I turn my head and pause when I see Fleurdelys coming into view, her eyes slightly red, but a radiant smile on her face.

There is a determination and conviction in her posture that is overwhelming, and I find my mouth go dry at the sight as she quietly approaches.

Her gaze flicks to me, hungry and full of lust and adoration, then towards Rias. It was then I noticed that she made up her mind.

A whip of water flows out of her hand, wraps Rias up, then yanks her into Fleurdelys' arms, causing the redhead to yelp and flush as she finds herself in a princess carry. "Come along, my dear Scaith." Fleurdelys purrs, turning to walk away with a swing of her wide, divine hips.

"It seems you will have quite the feast tonight."

….

This is a sight one would only dream off, yet I am experiencing it outside of one.

Rias shyly looks up at me, her glossy lips wrapped around my shaft and slowly gliding up and down, her tongue rolling around it as she suckles and sucks me deeper, hitting the back of her throat each time before she pulls back.

Her naked body lay kneeling between my legs, trembling in barely suppressed lust and excitement.

And beside her, holding up her hair and helping Rias pleasure me, was Fleurdelys. Her enormous breasts sway with each minor movement, her perfect naked body filling my vision and making me harder than a diamond.

"There, slowly…" Fleur whispers encouragingly, gaze burning with lust as she helps Rias set the pace of her blowjob, "Don't get too excited, you'll get it all with practice…"

Her lips move to plaster a kiss on Rias' neck, her hands going around to grope and fondle the redhead, making her moan around my shaft, nearly making me groan in pleasure. "Does my Queen taste good, Rias?" Fleur teases, one hand leaving Rias' large breast and slowly moving down her bare belly.

A lewd moan flows past Rias' lips, her eyes crossing as Fleurdelys starts fingering her wet folds, a smirk on the horned beauty's face, "Go ahead then, savor him properly for me." She encourages, and Rias does exactly that.

Her breasts bounce, and her head swiftly moves back and forth, earning soft grunts from me as she sucks me deeper and deeper, gagging softly each time my shaft hits the back of her throat.

"It seems she is struggling to take you deeper…" Fleur muses, still fingering Rias and bringing out lewd and constant moans from her, "Maybe you should help her, my beautiful Scaith…"

I lick my lips and grin, reaching forward to grasp Rias' hair as her eyes go wide in alarm- Before I yank her down, groaning softly as I breach her throat and make her gag around my invading shaft, the feel of it being downright addictive.

The redhead's eyes glaze over as I force her deeper and deeper, her body shaking as her soft lips and tight throat soon swallow my whole rock hard and throbbing cock.

Slowly, I yank her back, her spit being left behind coating my shaft and making it glisten, with plenty of it pouring down her chin and on her swaying breasts.

Before I force her back down. Again and again, her moans and lovely gags filling the air as I use her mouth and throat in front of Fleurdelys', who watches it all happen with pure hunger and lust in her eyes.

One of her hands move, and I blink when Fleur replaces mine in moving Rias back and forth on my shaft, her tall body rising and moving to press against my side, her enormous breasts squishing against my chest, "You are mine, my dear Scaith." She whispers hotly in my ears, "I will never let you go."

That promise sends a shudder down my spine, before I grin and spank her, making Fleur gasp and shiver, her eyes widening… Before she smashes her lips against mine, her tongue sliding around mine while her occupied hand keeps making Rias deepthroat my shaft over and over.

I grasp one of Fleur's massive asscheeks, my fingers and hand nearly sinking deep inside that soft and supple flesh which I grope possessively, evoking a lewd moan that flows into my mouth.

Her free hand flows through my long hair as she presses and leans her whole supple and tall body against mine, her flavor filling my mouth.

I only break the kiss when I feel myself draw close to my orgasm – the first of many – and lick my lips while looking down at Rias.

Her face was a mess, her eyes having rolled in the back of her head while her throat now perfectly wrap and squeezes around my cock, bringing unexplainable amounts of pleasure up my spine.

"You've been doing wonderful, Rias…" Fleur purrs, still leaning against my side, "I think she deserves a reward, doesn't she, my dear Scaith?" I chuckle, then grunt as Fleur releases Rias' head, and I watch as the redhead keeps deepthroating me eagerly, and even faster than the rhythm the horned beauty had set up.

I try to hold back my orgasm for a bit longer, but my beautiful King leans close to my ears, "Cum down her throat, my beautiful Scaith…" She whispers alluringly, her soft lips placing kisses along my neckline, "Make me watch as she swallows your seed…"

Any restrain gives in at that, and I reach forward to yank Rias all the way down my shaft before releasing my orgasm, her eyes widening and her hands shooting up to rest on my legs as she gags, then gulps wetly and loudly several times in a row.

I let her go as I pant, body shuddering with pleasure as she pulls back, my shaft still throbbing and releasing thick ropes of cum down her throat and inside her mouth, which she eagerly gulps down-

I gape when Fleurdelys kneels down, yanks Rias' head back, then smashes her lips against the redhead, tongue sliding inside to savor the last rope of cum I shot inside Rias' mouth.

The Gremory Heiress flushes, then melts into the kiss, hugging Fleurdelys and making out with their as their tongues battle over my seed, their huge breasts squishing and rubbing against each other, making for a sight that I'll never forget.

I gulp and watch as the two beauties make out, before parting a whole minute later, a sultry smirk on Fleur's face, "You taste delicious, my Queen…" Now I want to shoot another orgasm down her throat this time.

"Now then… Shall we move on to the main course?" She offers, eyeing Rias like a very hungry wolf and moving to help her up and push her on the bed.

"I-I…" Rias allows herself to be led, both excited and eager to continue, "I can't lose my virginity, else it may cause-"

Fleur shushes her with a finger on her lips, her eyes hard yet warm, "You let others lead your life too much, Rias." The Leviathan Scion comments, turning and falling on her back, her long ashen-blonde hair spilling everywhere as she brings Rias on top of her. "Take control of your life. Be more proud. Arrogant. Be Rias, and not just the daughter of some Devils that want to control your life."

I move behind Rias as I glance down at my glistening shaft, wondering if my unconscious desire to pleasure and fuck them silly pushed me to… Well, make my shaft quite a lot more massive than usual.

Devils can will their bodies to change through strong desire, I just forgot that part and ended up using it without realizing.

Rias throws her head back to look at me, before her bright eyes narrow, "You're right, Fleur. This is my life!" Her gaze, full of lust, grows sultry as she grins at me and sways her wide hips, making her fat ass jiggle and ripple before my hungry eyes, "Come fuck my pussy with your fat cock, Scaith! My virginity is yours to claim!"

I grip her wide hips, take aim, then slam myself into her depths mercilessly, knowing that as a Devil she can take this and more with ease.

Rias squeals, and I instantly feel her clench down on my throbbing shaft as she throws her head back, a lovely laugh flowing out of Fleur's lips at the sight, "My, cumming just from getting penetrated? What a slut you are, Rias."

I chuckle and spank the redhead roughly, making her asscheeks wobble and leaving a bright hand-print behind, her squeal reaching a higher pitch just from the spank.

"So cute…" Fleur sighs, reaching up to hug Rias' upper body, "I really can't resist such a delicacy before me." The redhead is yanked down, her ass sticking up as her moans grow muffled, turning into cute whines and mewls as I slowly pound into her from behind while she makes out with Fleurdelys.

The feel of Rias' tight walls squeezing down on me to try and wring me dry is somehow ten times better than her throat, the feel of it so different and so delightful that I start speeding up my thrusts.

The rougher I slam in her depths, the harder she clenches down on me, then she grips me even harder after each rough, resounding spank. I've delivered enough that her cheeks are now a bright red.

Yet, Rias eagerly slams her ass back and forth to meet my thrusts, her juices splashing everywhere with each impact as she mewls in pure delight, "Fleur~!" The redhead moans, breaking the kiss as she holds onto the tall beauty beneath her, "His cock is so fat~! I can feel him hammering against my womb!"

Fleurdelys purrs, "Is that so, honey?" The horned woman purrs, "Do you like it? Do you want his seed to flood your womb?" Those words make Rias clench down on my cock like a vice, bringing a nice groan out of my lips.

When Rias says nothing, I smirk and slow down my thrusts, making her whine and start swinging her hips back and forth faster and faster, "No! Keep slamming your fat cock deep inside me! I want to your cum stuff my womb! Hurry!" What a bratty Heiress…

But who am I to deny her eager request?

Grunting, I grip her hips and quicken my thrusts, slamming into her depths harder and harder, the impacts of flesh against flesh being sharp and echoing through the room together with the redhead's deeper, delighted and throaty moans of rapture.

Her folds wrap and clench down on me harder and harder with each thrust, swiftly bringing me closer to my second orgasm until, with a grunt, I slam into Rias' depths and release the knot that had built up in my lower belly.

Rias squeals once more, cumming her brains out as her back arches and her pussy clenches down on me to desperately milk out as many thick ropes of cum out of me as possible.

I only pull back after a while minute, and after one last spank, letting the red-haired beauty fall on her side, panting heavily but with a dreamy look on her face.

"So adorable…" Fleur whispers while licking her lips, "I might get addicted to her-" She yelps when I flip her on her front and lift her huge ass up, "S-Scaith! O-One moment, my dear! I-I am not ready-!" She gasp as I spank her too, silencing her cute shy protests in the process.

"Oh no, I won't wait a moment longer, my beautiful Fleurdelys." I purr, using her way of talking as I rub my hard shaft along her quivering and wet lower lips, "I'm going to fuck you until you won't be able to walk anymore. Understand?" I ask while delivering another rough spank that makes her gasp and arch her back.

I grab a fistful of her long hair, then yank them back as I slam into her depths with a grunt, evoking a loud divine moan from her supple lips as her whole body shudders.

She is tight. Impossibly so. And she is clenching down on me now too, making my thrusts slow, yet incredibly pleasurable.

"I don't think you fully understand the effect you have on me…" I grunt out, slamming back into her depths and making Fleur moan loudly once more, "So instead of words, I'll use actions!"

I yank her further back, and reach around to grope one of her enormous bouncing tits as I thrust in and out of her wet, tight folds.

"Mhm~! N-No need to be so gentle, you can fuck me harder, my dear!" Fleur lovingly moans, rolling her hips and throwing her ass back to meet my thrusts, each impact making her cheeks ripple like the surface of water being disturbed by a tremor.

Rias is watching us with wide, hungry eyes, and I soon catch her gaze. With a smirk, I nod towards Fleurdelys, and her eyes widen in understanding.

Moving in front of the horned beauty, Rias grins and reaches up, then yanks Fleurdelys down and moving her face between her legs, "There! Let Scaith focus on fucking you hard, and put your mouth to a better use!"

I feel Fleur clench hard around my shaft at that, and Rias soon shudders and moans as my King starts eating her out eagerly while sticking her huge behind out even further.

The sight in front of me makes it hard to hold back as I start to pound into Fleurdelys as hard as I could, my hips starting to ache and burn from the strain, so… I smirk and decide to cheat.

Up above, Rhapthorne casts his strength buff on me. Twice.

I draw my hips back, then smash them forward with all of my newly enhanced strength, and Fleurdelys squeals and squirts all over the bed.

"Hey now…" I chuckle and playfully swat her ass, "You're the one that said that I can go harder. Don't tell me you can take it?" I punctuate my question with another deep and powerful thrust that makes her mewl, her toes curling and her fingers digging into the covers of the bed.

I don't let her recover her wits or try to speak up, thrusting into her depths each time she tries to say something and making it end in a loud squeal, mewl or moan of pure pleasure, her pussy gushing all over my shaft by the tenth thrust.

Still… I am already close to my third orgasm, incredibly sensitive after not getting a moment to catch my breath after the other two.

So I make the last few thrusts count. Deep and strong, each one making the bed slam into the wall with a loud rattle until, after the seventh thrust, I grunt and shiver as I dump my third load deep within Fleurdelys' wonderfully tight folds.

The beauty moans and shudders, cumming all over the bed yet again as her legs arch, toes curl, and her body shakes and shudders.

I pull out with a pant, letting my seed flow out of her as I catch my breath with a grin.

This is enough to drive any man wild.

"Can I go another round?" Rias shyly asks, and I chuckle.

"Top, or bottom?"

Her gaze sparkles with lust and excitement, "I want to ride your fat cock this time!"

Yep, this is dangerously addictive.

~~XXX~~

Rias' mind kept going back to the previous night of passion she lived through.

Many hours of sex with two beautiful people that she was starting to idolize, wanting to be more like them.

Confident, strong, arrogant, reliable and cunning. She knew very well she lacked in many things, and that her laziness also made her not achieve as many things as countless other young Devils her age.

Then Fleurdelys wakes up, and ends up achieving so many things within a small amount of time. Barely two months, and she already took down an Ultimate Class Superimposition Gate, and the Maou Class beast guarding it.

Through that, she formed a powerful connection with the Chinese Faction that the New Satans could not tap into, and she claimed a territory close to No Man's Land, giving her access to untold riches and achievements.

All things that only she and her soon to appear Faction will hoard and share with the Chinese Faction. The New Satans and Great King Faction won't see even scrap from such things.

Usually, she'd be sad that her brother was facing such difficulties… Usually. Now, Rias viewed things differently. She started to view things the way Fleurdelys does.

The Devil Race will be doomed if someone doesn't properly put their foot down, be ruthless, and destroy any opposition or Faction that may have motives that do not match the well-being of the Devil Race.

In other words, Rias' eyes were opened, and a new burning desire sparked within her.

It didn't help that Scaith had gifted her Valerie, who had swiftly become the light of her Peerage. Always cheerful, sunny smiles, and bullying poor Gasper into finally 'touching grass'.

The fact that she kept shoving him into girly outfits made her Rias like Valerie even more.

"Are you listening to me, Rias?!" Her hands halt, the fork and knife stopping their movement of cutting the piece of cooked meat on her plate.

Her calm blue eyes flick up and across the massive table, and towards her huffing and puffing father, the anger clearly making his face flush.

Rias doesn't answer instantly, and instead finishes cutting the piece of meat before slowly chewing on it, "I stopped listening after you mentioned the Spell that keeps track of my virginity." She drawls out, tapping at her lips with her handkerchief. "I decided you had nothing worth listening to, so I tuned you out for more favorable and pleasant thoughts."

Like her lovers… Were they lovers? Probably. Fleurdelys adored her quite a bit, finding her adorable and wanting her around more often. Which Rias is more than happy to do.

Her father falters in shock at her answer. Even her mother, brother and sister in law falter in shock.

Where she usually just meekly lowers her head and nods along when scolded, this time… This time she was done and put her foot down. Fleurdelys was right. This is her life.

"Rias…" Her mother starts, voice warm yet harsh, "What you did is-"

"My own matter that you have no business in." Rias sharply cuts in with a glare towards her mother, making the buxom woman flinch in surprise once more, "Who I allow between my legs is none of your business, so I'd rather you drop this thoroughly idiotic charade. Thank you."

They, of course, do not drop it. And instead get angrier.

Her father flares his nostrils, fist hammering onto the table hard enough to make his glass of wine fall and spill everywhere. Rias just grabs and sips on hers before it could go to waste. "You are betrothed to Riser, not some-"

"He is betrothed to me." Rias cuts in once more, voice sharp and loud, "Get the fact straights. He is the third son of the Phenex Family, not even second in line to the Heir Title."

"I am the Gremory Heiress. He is marrying into our family. He is betrothed to me." Her father gulps, face scrunched up in barely contained anger, "If I want a harem of my own, I will have it. If I want to spread my legs for two very wonderful people, I will."

"Your opinions on this matter are unwanted, so keep them to yourself."

Another fist slams onto the table, making Rias roll her eyes and lean back, "Watch your mouth, young lady! I am still your father!"

"And you are losing all of my respect, father." Zeoticus flinches at Rias sharp and merciless words, "Riser gets to fuck around all he wants, but I can't? How hypocritical."

Then her gaze shoots towards her brother, who had remained quiet during the whole dinner, "Or did brother put you up to this because of who I allowed between my legs?" He doesn't flinch, but she does notice the clenching of his hands around his own silverware.

Her gaze then flicks towards the silver haired maid, who averts her gaze, "Who knew that you'd be tasked to come and retrieve me when the Spell that checks on my virginity failed. Am I some piece of luggage that you can just come and pick up under the request of others now?" Her sister-in-law says nothing, making Rias snort.

"Did you like having a staring match with Lu Bu, by the way?" She smirks, as Scaith had told her this tidbit while she was riding him. It made her double her efforts, "Scaith told me that I can let Yuuto train with him. I'm sure he'll be able to learn a lot from such a thing."

Holding her glass of wine, her gaze shot to her brother, then to her father, then to her mother, "He supports me, while you all instantly withdrew all my trainers the moment my betrothal with Riser was made known. Your goal couldn't have been more blatant."

They didn't want her to surpass him, so that she couldn't defeat him in a Rating Game as a last resort to gain her freedom.

At the time, she thought that they couldn't show her too much favoritism. Especially her brother, who had Okita stop training Yuuto.

But it all makes sense now.

"Rias…" Her mother starts yet again, voice louder than before, "That was for your own good."

Rias blinks, "Oh dear, it was?" She perks up with a brilliant smile, "Then let us go and put this Spell on Millicas too, shall we? I'll make sure to go and retrieve him like baggage the moment he gets between the legs of the woman he loves, alright?"

"Rias!" Her brother raises his voice, rattling the whole dining room, his power flooding the hall for but a moment. Yet Rias doesn't flinch even after she feels the coldness and terror of it sweeping through her.

"Oh, so now that's going too far?" She sneers and spits out, "Millicas is lucky to have you as his father, else I'm sure his dear grandpa would have already sold him off to some ugly old bitch for chump change."

Her mother stands up, "Rias, you are going too far!"

"Am I now?" Rias stands right after, hand slamming on the table with greater force than her father's previous enraged blow, "You demand control over every little fucking decision of my life, and I am the one going too far?! Do you even hear yourself?!"

Rias pauses, then laughs, "Oh, of course you don't care. You were sold off yourself." Venelana blanches and reels back in horror as if physically slapped across the face.

She was a Bael before being a Gremory. A Bael from the branch house married off by Zekram Bael to the main House of Gremory, likely because the old bastard covets the power of Luck her family is known for.

Sniffing, Rias turns, "You." She starts, gazing sharply at her mother, "Stop telling me how to live my life."

Then her gaze moves again, "And you." Her father glares back at her, "Your disappointment pleases me greatly after you dared to sell off your own daughter. You don't like me deciding how to live my life? I don't care. Make Millicas the Heir and groom him to be your obedient little tool if you want to replace me."

Then, she moves once more, "And finally, you." She glares at her brother with pure venom, and he refuses to meet her stare, "Stop sending your fucking wife to retrieve me like I am lost baggage."

Her fists clench hard enough that her nails cut into her palm, drawing blood, "No wonder Fleurdelys wants to tear you all down…"

"If this is how you treat your sister, and let her be treated, imagine how you fuck up with your own people."

Flipping around, she doesn't even deign to spare Grayfia a second glance as she moves to leave the dining hall, with no one speaking up to stop her.

Her feet carry her down the long hallway, and she walks for what must've felt like minutes before she stops, takes a deep breath… Then just teleports away from her home.

She appears within a familiar living room, and she finds the reason behind this change of hers lazing on the couch with a book in hand.

Fleurdelys perks up at her appearance, then looks at her. Her smile grows warm, fond and proud, "Did you stand up for yourself?"

She asks, having seen through her inner turmoil with ease.

Rias lets out a long, shaky breath. Then, not trusting her words, she just nods.

Fleurdelys' smile grows bigger and more gentle, then pats her lap and spreads her arms. Rias doesn't waste a second to throw herself in the bigger woman's embrace.

"You did well. I am so proud of you."

When was the last time her parents even told her such words?

A.N. I honestly always found Rias' whole situation with Riser disgusting and stupid.

Plus the whole thing with Grayfia stopping Rias from fucking by invading her privacy… Like, what the fuck?

That bitch would catch the meanest fade in existence if she dared stop me from lewding the adorable redhead. Bah.

Either way, hope y'all enjoyed this chappy!

Decided to keep the lewds in since Rias is an adult, so…

See y'all next chappy!

Toodles!
