Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix

"Phew... Always stay clean, or my master will be disappointed."

"Good work, Hyōka." She said to the blue sword. The blade vibrating to show how happy her compliment made it.

\'Is he alright?\'

Her gaze wandered towards the north, wondering why her heart tightened when looking in that direction. \'Is he over there? Where that raging beast is?\'

"Stay safe, darling... I will come get you soon."

Meanwhile, the princess pulled her silver blade from the corpse of a huge black wolf, her face and body covered in sticky blood that smelled horrible.

The molten rock properties of her blade dance caused a strange reaction to the coagulated blood and became disgusting because of the monster\'s strange black blood.

"Fuck..."

A curse left the lips of the filthy princess, who flicked her hair backwards over her head, mottle and slimy blood spurting over her white robes and fancy shoes.

"..."

"We\'re not on camera, right?" Vela asked, suddenly remembering where she was.

Since being so free with Mu Xue, the maid would beat or hit her for correction if she made a mistake. Vela became more open and vulgar when the crystals vanished.

Mu Xue just watched the woman with dead eyes.

"Why are you saying dirty words? What if my darling hears them and misjudges me?"

While holding Hyōka and a sharp look, Mu Xue stepped closer to the princess, who shrank and stumbled back until falling over the black wolf\'s corpse and the enormous pool of its blood with a yelp.

"KYAA!? What... No, it\'s so disgusting!"

"Why are you so pathetic for a princess? My master would never get so dirty, even fighting a hundred monsters!"

"Don\'t compare me!"

Vela became competitive with Asura and quickly jumped from the mess, using an expensive magic item to cleanse her entire body with a flash of green light, her eyes turning a dark orange as her magic boiled.

"..."

"Mu Xue, oi! Don\'t leave!"

Mu Xue enjoyed playing with the princess. They were friends, but also like a small dog she played with.

The moment she turned away, planning to head north to the feeling, she felt a terrifying barrage of loud, ferocious roars resounding from the north.

"!?"

"Kya!?"

These monstrous bellows filled with Stage Four Levels of Mana Density caused the rocky area the two were hunting to shake.

Despite being over a mile away!

"Vela, come here! It\'s dangerous!" Mu Xue shouted, pulling the princess to her side as a huge avalanche of rocks and debris ploughed down the spot where Vela stood just a moment earlier.

"Ah.... Whoa!? Ugh... my foot. What\'s happened?"

The two ventured into the mountains to find rare herbs and flowers with various benefits, such as aiding in illness, beautification, and anti-ageing.

These plants can produce many creams or pills worth lots of money.

"Hold my hand."

Mu Xue didn\'t mess around, her entire body shining light blue as she created a thick barrier of ice, anchoring the pair to the ground and protecting them from the rocks being thrown down from the peak of the mountain because of the bestial shockwaves.

"Haa.. wow, it\'s so cold, haha! Mu Xue, the mountain is collapsing because of those monsters!"

"Really..."

"..."

"Isn\'t that where the assassins attacked us last night?" Vela asked, her eyes curiously watching the huge whirl of fire and lightning forming a huge mushroom in the distant sky.

The two became silent for several minutes, listening to the agonised, submissive, but vibrant female roaring, silenced by a dull male roar filled with strange emotions that felt like domination and elation.

"Do you think two Stage Four beasts are fighting over territory?"

"I don\'t know if it\'s a fight... Doesn\'t it seem a little... strange?"

Vela thought it was merely a battle, but for Mu Xue, who wasn\'t so naïve or a pure maiden, she felt the beast\'s calls were close to those made during sex.

Honestly, she felt that both of them were strangely familiar.

\'It\'s just my mind playing tricks... Master, I hope you are not in the middle of that.\'

She shook her head, remembering her master was just reaching the second stage, and Xavida was halfway through stage three.

"Eh, Mu Xue... That last roar, why did it sound so much happier than the last?"

"..."

⁜ Asura POV

Three hours after the sudden change of Xavida, the area seemed like a completely different world...

Asura sat against a charred tree with no leaves and a shattered trunk. The entire area looked devastated, ravished by the two dragons\' breaths.

A lingering crackle of powerful lightning and intense flames flickered from the surrounding ground, melting and destroying anything with vitality.

\'It seems we suit each other well.\' Asura thought and looked to the side, his face tired yet calm.

\'The devouring and vanishing effects of our breath devastated even the southern wilds danger zone.\'

He could feel the floor still steaming from the intensity of their completely fused Anima density, causing it to undulate and throb.

"This girl... Why did she suddenly..." Asura said with a sigh, looking at the quiet girl beside him.

Xavida sat against his side, pressing her body against him affectionately, her face very pleased.

"Nnn~ Ashura."

She affectionately rubbed her nose and cheeks against him in a very submissive and satisfied manner while their bodies bore bite marks, claw marks, and many torn scales scattered across the ground.

"Mmmm, hehehe~ smells like my husband."

"Are we done fighting for today?"

While Asura tosses the third red pellet to give them another hour\'s peace.

He was grateful to the assassins for leaving so many. Otherwise, the academy and city would have seen his and Xavida\'s act without walls or curtains to hide their ferocious copulation.

\'It seems I need to learn more about female dragons... Will Phoenix or others act the same?\'

[Ahem, please don\'t compare such a refined and royal race with those lustful and brain-dead lizards.]

\'Hmmm. The comment doesn\'t sound convincing with your tone.\'

Helia didn\'t respond to him as he felt the sensation returning to his body after the longest time, feeling numb and weak.

The two-hour session differed from normal because Xavida used her entire strength, including her Anima and bloodline, to intensify the moment.

"Xavi, shall we go hunt something tasty for dinner, then head home?"

Her answer didn\'t come immediately as she held onto his chest, biting one of his loose scales before pulling it off and chewing it a few times before spitting it onto the ground.

"Hehe, let\'s go."

"Tsk. Stop pulling off my scales!"

"Heh~ they are just your baby scales. Soon, your true scales will grow through."

The pain of losing a scale was like picking a scab too soon. Despite this, the irritation caused Asura to complain and again realise he knew too little about his bloodlines and their unique traits and growth.

Ignoring the complaints of Xavida, Asura wore the robes tossed on the floor but had no time to equip the metal armour Mu Xue got for him.

"Boring... Why hide... Let me see! Hmph..."

As a result, she began kicking stones and their fallen scales at his feet while pouting.

\'God, she is so cute...\'

⁜ Lorem POV

Because Mu Xue and the princess didn\'t use a special item to hide themselves, one of the smaller cameras recorded their actions. However, Lorem and the royal knights will verify before broadcasting the two royal family members.

"Haha... the princess swore!"

Lorem didn\'t care.

She just spoke while watching, causing many to hear her on the speakers, causing the king\'s face to sour for a moment before returning to normal.

It was good if Vela looked bad to the king. Otherwise, Valos would never get to take the throne.

"Hmmm..."

\'Did these two fuckers have sex again, this time in public?\'

Asura\'s and Xavida\'s rampage during copulation left behind a trail of devastation.

Their intense actions charred the trees black and caused them to fall apart, while a crater several metres deep formed on the ground where all life around it lacked any form of vitality.

The only sign anything lived was the black and pink scales glistening on a small patch inside the crater, with plants and grass.

"What kind of monster did this!?"

"The damage... Those plants and trees have been sucked dry of life!"

"Should we pause the assessment?"

"No, we can\'t think of the complaints and errors!"

Lorem listened to the various royal knights and instructors discussing what happened in this video.

However, she knew... it was likely something far simpler and stupid.

\'How the fuck did she reach the peak of Stage Three so soon. What is that boy hiding in his sleeve to advance so fast?\'

"Asura, you make me worry and stress so much, you damn idiot."

She couldn\'t ignore anything regarding the boy who could absorb her curse. Now that Lorem had confirmed, all the strange dark energy inside Xavida vanished.

Her hopes of becoming cured were too intense.

\'I hope he becomes stronger soon. To absorb some of my curse. Then I can protect him in a dangerous situation.\'

Lorem didn\'t believe the cult chased Asura because of the king\'s word alone.

They seemed to search for something or someone, this assessment, and when that leader met Asura, it seemed he sent a strange message beacon to someone else.
