Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix

Chapter 484 Testing The Body



Chapter 484 Testing The Body

Today, the orcs would send people to start their peace talks. Asura let Mu Xue and Lucia go with Celine as her guards while he remained back at the princess's castle. He had never trusted orcs in the past before meeting Grom.

However, now that bias has become smaller. 'Though I don't trust them, I will not step in unless Celine or Melinas ask me.'

"Though the true reason might be something else..."

He looked at the beautiful half-elf Spica, who offered to stay beside him, though they met in the worst way, and his offer to her crushed her pride. Spica changed over the months and times they met in secret to help strengthen her.

"Are you alright, Prince Asura?" Her almond eyes were a little darker than Vela's and flickered with concern as she stepped forward.

"I am now, though. How are you? Did you think I forgot you?"

"No, prince," She shook her head while trying to hide her reddened ears from being caught staring. "I know what you are going through, so..."

A grin broke out on his lips as he slid closer, and in a moment of courage, he placed a hand on top of hers. His voice turned into a whisper, not wanting anyone else to hear what he was going to say.

"It doesn't change the fact we haven't seen each other in the longest of times. Did you miss me, Spica?"

Her look of surprise quickly melted away into a smile that was too good for a playboy like him. She looked at him with a dreamy and affectionate gaze before leaning close enough until he could smell her fragrant breath.

"I did—after the princess became a child, I felt so much guilt for our deceit and planned to stop contact. Then Her Highness spoke to me and told me the truth, that she knew from the start."

"...Oh." He awkwardly rubbed his neck. 'Don't tell me she is still upset?'

"And then," Spica whispered to herself and took a small breath before kissing him on the cheek.

"That kind and wonderful princess expressed her happiness if I were to have your child one day. It made me confused, yet so happy. I wanted to see you sooner to ask your permission." Spica spoke with a whisper to herself and took a small breath before kissing him on the cheek.

"Permission?" Asura wondered what she wanted to ask him before stroking her cheek with his palm.

"To become more than just... a physical relationship for power." She looked away from him after admitting her thoughts before sighing. "Do you remember? When we talked about my brother and how I wanted to get stronger?"

"Yes." He smiled as he thought about it, but her saddened gaze made him think there was something else. Then she turned to him, her eyes glowing in the flickering torch.

"However, now I don't care about that... I just wanted to connect with you again."

"Why do you say that? Is it wrong to want to be stronger for those you love?"

"I..." Tears glistened in her beautiful eyes, her lips quivering ever so slightly, and her words choked up in her throat. "I don't want to use you like that anymore. That's why I wanted to make a distinction." She broke off; the air seemed to hang heavy between them. But just when he felt the need to comfort her, she continued.

"If we're going to... have some fun, I don't want it to be because of this."

Spica's eyes narrowed into a soft curve, her lips showing an awkward yet genuine smile. "It seems at some point I fell for you, despite telling myself and swearing I wouldn't, hahaha... I am stupid, right?"

Asura moved in, resting his forehead against hers and breathing in her scent as he took in her words. 'That's right. There was no need to rush anything in the first place. I started helping her because she reminded me of myself back before I could use magic. Desperate to grow stronger in any way or shape.'

Like a whale swallowing the water of an entire Ocean, Asura breathed in through his mouth and slowly exhaled a dark smoke from his nose. The reverse of normal breathing, as the green light of mana turned brighter inside him. A beautiful glow began to fill his body.

The nourishing liquid felt like life itself.

Pure Vitality.

'This... Is this the effect of the tree inside me?'

He wanted to ask someone, but there wasn't anyone he knew that could help. Maybe Freyja would have an answer, but right now he could feel the vitality flowing into not just him. The aura sucked towards him also began filling Spica, causing her to let out a lovely moan, her nose snorting as she clung to his back.

"Mmhmmmm! S-so good..." She bit her lower lip, and as she stared with her half-open almond-shaped eyes, she gasped softly. A sticky thread of saliva dribbled from her lips, her wet eyes like when they were enjoying the pleasures of life together. "It's strange... something is flowing into me... it's so warm and refreshing and feels amazing."

"Asura... Nngah!" As she arched her spine from pleasure, the muscles rippling underneath her clothing, stretching her body. She felt a sense of amazement while clinging to Asura's chest. "This has never happened before!"

'Is this the same dual cultivation as before... why does it feel so natural and more peaceful?'

Asura also felt the pleasure from the energy, even mor,e when it flowed into Spica. Her vitalities flowed through his fingertips, coursing throughout his whole body. He could feel and control the movement of the green energy inside her, causing her body to convulse as he traced his finger across her body.

"My god..." Spica's legs went limp as she collapsed onto the grass floor below while panting, unable to move anymore after what happened.

However... her skin was glossy. It shone with a pristine shine. Even her eyes looked brighter as she gazed up at him. Slowly, she raised her trembling arm and touched her face, amazed at its smooth texture. It felt softer than the finest silk garment made from arachne silk.

"...My wounds, scars are gone... it feels really nice where you touch me. What happened?"

"I-I'm not sure."

He looked down at himself, and even the old cuts he couldn't heal for her in the past had disappeared, leaving behind healthy pale skin that had healed perfectly.

"This is... incredible. Asura." Spica grinned widely while she sat down on his lap with her arms draped over his shoulders, staring at his face from the side.

"Is this your new power... the pleasure is a world apart... be careful in future... I almost..." Spica's face then became red as she stopped speaking, instead hiding her face in his neck.

"Never mind... idiot..."

"Haha... you are lovely, Spica. Try not to have an accident—we both know you like to squirt and make a mess."

"Hmph... it's your fault... the princess thinks I wet the bed still..."

"Forgive me, you are just too lovely."

"Never. You have to treat me well, and I'll think about it!"

"Haha~ alright, Princess Spica."

They enjoyed a harmonious time as he shared life energy with Spica in the garden. He could only wonder how to increase his strength in the future as the dim feeling of each bloodline remained in his body, even with the monoliths gone.
