Chapter 247 - Kiss and Kill
Lucien's wives and troops continue to ma.s.sacre the Light Empire soldiers on land as he and Angela continue to destroy the sh.i.p.s at sea.
Meanwhile, three women watch the battle over a hill not far from the battlefield. They both have surprised expressions on their faces, but they are also feeling different emotions.
"How is that possible?! They are so powerful... d.a.m.n, that barrier blocked so many magic attacks, then it fell, killing about a thousand soldiers, but It was quickly raised again..."
Dawn even forgot all the s.h.i.+t that had happened as she is so shocked watching the battle.
She points to the sh.i.p.s. "It's him flying over there, right? He's destroying the sh.i.p.s just with that ice bird?! What's that creature?!"
Envy quickly responds. "Yes, it is him. And the bird is not a living being, but is just one of his wives wanting to make a show."
While Dawn is confused, Amelia continues to look at the battlefield. "What about the other ice bird and also the big fire figure? I mean, even if they are in the early stages of the Mortal Realm, wouldn't that just be wasting mana? Or... were you mistaken about their power, Envy?"
Envy does not blame Amelia for doubting the power of Lucien's wives as she is surprised not only by his wives but all of his troops.
Lucien is increasingly amazing when it comes to improving the power of the women around him, and Envy cannot help but think how powerful they can be if he 'helps' Amelia and their other sisters in the future.
Envy nods. "Yes, I'm sure only two of them are in the second layer of the Mortal Realm. Still, they all now have the power of a Mid-stage because they are so full of his demonic energy."
Amelia makes an upset expression as she thinks about how her brother empowers so many women. Still, she can't help asking Envy. "How exactly much does that mean?"
Envy strangely smiles. "Do you really want to know?"
Amelia just looks at Envy with an expression that gets more and more upset.
"Okay, if you like to suffer that much." Envy sighs before answering Amelia's question based on her a.s.sumptions as she can't really be sure.
"They probably didn't sleep since our meeting yesterday. Also, he must have done that kind of thing with the girls all the way here. I don't know how he did that much, but there's no other option as only he can give his demonic energy for his women."
While Dawn doesn't understand what Envy is talking about, Amelia starts to clench her fists as her jealousy gets out control.
Of course, Envy uses this opportunity to help Amelia to generate more demonic energy. "You know, how they shouldn't have stopped even to take a bath, not only his smell must be all over those women's bodies as they fight."
Amelia is furious, and her white blades appear in her hands as she makes a quick cutting motion.
*Whooosh*
*BOOOOM*
Quick as the wind, Amelia cuts a rock beside her. The rock explodes into a thousand pieces because of Amelia's powerful energy.
Amelia has no elemental energy, but like everyone else in the Mortal Realm, she has a different energy in her body. She uses that energy to boost her attacks, and it is also the reason for her body being naturally very strong.
Her rage moment shocked Dawn. Still, Envy can't but help but laugh. She knew that the fact that the sins' hosts being siblings would definitely be good to them, but she never expected such a promising situation.
"I have to go there. I can't let only them demonstrate their power." Amelia started walking down the hill.
Envy just rolled her eyes. But Dawn ran in front of Amelia. "Wait! Are you going to fight your brother?!"
"It's not like that... But I have to show that I am more amazing than his wives." Amelia tried to avoid Dawn and keep going hill down.
Dawn already understood that Amelia and Lucien's relations.h.i.+p is not as simple as a normal siblings relations.h.i.+p.
Although she doesn't want to get too involved in it, Dawn doesn't exactly have a goal now but to follow Amelia, so it is better that they get along.
Dawn walks in front of Amelia again. "Are you talking about converting the devil by showing him your power? That wasn't just a lie that you spoke to me but to yourself too?"
"And you want me to do what? Am I really supposed to stay here just watching while his wives fight by his side and get all his praises?" Amelia asks.
Dawn quickly responds. "No. But you must not go against his wives like that. Men don't like jealous women who act on impulse."
While Amelia reflects on Dawn's words, Envy quickly materializes her body beside them. "What do you know about men? You are still a v.i.r.g.i.n..."
Dawn blushes and ignores Envy while talking to Amelia. "I am not really experienced, but some things are obvious."
Amelia never had a friend, so she doesn't really know how to get advice as Envy is always trying to manipulate her in a 'non-harmful' way.
She looks at Dawn with a curious expression. "What do you suggest?"
Dawn quickly explains. "First, you must never go against him and his wives. You are siblings, so you should have been at his side after you met him again and not with my people."
Amelia pout. "I know... I let Envy manipulate me with this stupid idea of compet.i.tion, hoping to get more attention from him. But things are not going as I planned."
Dawn looked at Envy and shook her head. "Forcing him to pay attention to you? That was a really stupid idea. I don't think I'm the only v.i.r.g.i.n here..."
Envy points to Dawn. "My plan was good. Your s.h.i.+tty army would undoubtedly lose, but Amelia could stand out if it weren't because of your dramatic scene."
Dawn quickly responds to Envy. "You can't be so stupid... Didn't you see what he did to that general because of the cat-girl? He's over-protective, caring, kind... Trying to harm his wives would not benefit Amelia but make him upset."
Amelia realizes that more and more, Dawn's words make sense. "What am I supposed to do? I'm so confused..."
Dawn takes Amelia's hands. "The confrontation must be avoided at all costs. There are many other ways for you to get his attention."
Amelia gives up on going to the battlefield and sits on a rock next to Dawn to listen to her advice.
Well, she will be surprised to learn that all of Dawn's knowledge of romance comes from books she read. Still, having a friend's advice is better than being manipulated by Envy.
--------------------------
*Creeeeak*
The sounds of the last s.h.i.+p cras.h.i.+ng and sinking into the sea mark the end of those soldiers.
Lucien climbs onto Angela's icebird again to help her recover mana as they fly to the beach.
From the sky, he watches his wives and troops fighting. Lucien is very proud of all of them. Although he is the main reason for them to get stronger quickly, without discipline, talent, and willpower, they would not fight so well.
After flying for several minutes and super speed to attack the s.h.i.+p's mages alongside Angela, Lucien feels like fighting on land with his other wives.
Angela joins the other mage girls, who continue the strategy of creating a wall in the front, traping about ten thousand soldiers to them to fight in turns and prevent them from surrounding Lucien's troops.
Although the Light Empire mages are always trying to break the wall, their attacks are getting weaker as mana potions speed up mana regeneration and don't work instantly like Lucien's demonic energy.
As Ca.s.sidy and Angela's group is by far the most powerful, Lucien goes first to Rose's group. After paying attention to her, Madelyn, and Neola, he jumps on the ground and fights mounted on Oya for a while.
With a long handle and a heavy blade, the golden naginata is a perfect weapon for Lucien to use while riding Oya.
While mama tigress runs among the Light Empire soldiers crus.h.i.+ng them with her mighty paws, Lucien cuts off heads with his naginata. Their victims die too quickly without even understanding what happened to them.
While Lucien fights alongside his troops, they naturally have an improvement in their morale.
Still, he not only presents them with his presence but also kisses them with every certain number of soldiers he kills, thus strengthening the boost that is still in their bodies.
Although a quick kiss does not mean much to his wives, for the troops it is really significant, not only because of the demonic energy and life mana in the kiss but because it represents the recognition of their master, who, even in battle, gives so much attention and affection to them.
And Lucien knows that. He understands that motivating each one of his girls individually, even if for just a few seconds, will make them fight with the double of excitement, thus making them even better soldiers.
For Lucien and his wives, despite being in large numbers, the Light Empire soldiers pose no threat. Still, this battle is excellent for his troops to improve their skills and teamwork.
Then, after fighting for a while alongside Oya and paying attention to his troops in Rose's group, Lucien goes to Maggie's group.
After giving Maggie many kisses, he also paid special attention to his mage troops as maintaining the magic wall requires a lot of mana.
Next, he went to Lena's group.
Working as a team with Jeanne, Lorelai, and L.u.s.t, who is always by his side, Lucien runs over the Light Empire soldiers very easily.
He also pays attention to the troops around him before flying for many minutes at Lena's side. As she was almost out of mana, they had many long kisses and caresses before Lucien flew to Marie's group.
When Lucien arrived at Marie's side, they had already knocked down the magic wall and done another behind more ten thousand soldiers four times, totaling more than forty thousand deaths in addition to what the girls had done before Lucien and Angela destroy the sh.i.p.s.
Lucien's male troops, along with the group of mercenaries and adventurers, are still fighting with the Light Empire flanker group. Still, Lucien's girls have already killed more than fifty thousand Light Empire soldiers.
This incredible performance only makes Lucien more proud of his girls and them happier to be with him.
The demi-human girls are also motivated to take revenge for all the evil that the Light Empire has done to their innocent people.
Continuing the same strategy, Lucien pays extra attention to Marie and Ghilanna before fighting alongside Kylee, Anne, and Rebecca.
His wives are really enjoying the battle as it allows them to use their full potential, in addition to fighting alongside their beloved husband.
The mix of the excitement of the battle, plus the excitement they feel for being with Lucien, is very good for not only them but also for him, who enjoys every second of this pleasant battle.
Still, a part of Lucien is a little disappointed because regardless of how many soldiers he had killed, he hasn't felt any significant changes in the golden gate inside his golden naginata.
L.u.s.t is not very knowledgeable about draconic soul weapons, so Lucien can only rely on his instinct, which tells him that he needs to better understand the war in order to understand Aylin's soul and open that golden gate.
But this battle is not really giving him the challenge to understand more about the war. Well, it is certainly helping him to develop battle strategies, especially kissing his troops to motivate them.
And of course, L.u.s.t, despite not needing to recover her demonic energy like the other girls, still gets more kisses than everyone.
