BXBX NOVEL Chapter 549 548: Calm Before The Storm
Paired with the joking and poking fun of each other, it only made each of us more and more giddy as we stepped onto the sand, where the Marquess and Cali sat across from one another, a chess set between them as they passed the time by talking.
Hearing us return, they looked up and stared at us for a moment before going back to their chess match, the two in deep contemplations as they tried to outwit and outmaneuver the other in one of the best strategy games ever made, all while they - of course - discussed anything sexual.
Jahi handed me one of the fish that we had begun to stockpile inside a small pool we built on the beach, which kept it fresh despite having been caught earlier this morning by her and the Djinn.
I got to work even as the Demoness wrapped herself around me from behind, her breath warming my cheek as she rested with me in her arms.
Anput and Leone watched in slight envy before Anput took matters into her own hands, grabbing the Vampire and dragging her into her arms, whispering a few things to the Princess that made her blush.
It was as clear as crystal that we were all feeling a little pent up sexually on this island, since there was little guarantee that we could enjoy each other without the Marquess or Nirinia popping through the Gate and catching us in the act, meaning...
Yeah, I was accumulating a few stacks of [Arousal] on this island, but it wasn\'t too bad since I wasn\'t all alone again; the kisses and embraces of my lovers assuaged my need for release somewhat, making this a bearable torture as we resided on this island.
That didn\'t mean that there weren\'t moments that I wasn\'t just a bundle of poorly managed lust, since being shrouded in the sweet scent of my Demoness and enveloped in her warmth, all while something exquisite pressed against my lower back made me want to pounce on her and demand she give me the attention I craved...
Which was only made worse as she whispered sweet nothings into my ear, her words dripping with honeyed promise as she told me about what she would do to me when we returned to the Palace, from the positions she wanted to take me in to the duration she wanted to be inside of me.
All of it made this a slightly strenuous task, but I pulled through nonetheless, preparing us a meal to regain our energy before we rested for another hour, going over somethings on our own as we enjoyed the serenity of the beach and the beautiful blue ocean.
When the sun had begun to descend from its zenith, we got up and went back to work, this time relinquishing the majority of the killing to Leone as she pulled out the full brunt of her arsenal, the Princess displaying her True Vampire form as she decided to test out more and more things.
A wicked smile adorned her lips as she stood on the battlefield, creating a cacophony of loud booms and crackling of flames as she weaved spells together, taking a scorched earth approach as she decimated the enemies in front of us, leaving little to do for the rest of us.
With the small amount of enemies capable of even surviving past her initial barrage of spells, the rest of us had little we could do to help her, which resulted in us instead giving buffs to the Vampire to further aid her destruction of the enemies in front of us.
Jahi kept things simple by giving her a Light Cloak and shrouding us with a dome of golden light, keeping us separate from the acrid scent of ash as well as the disgusting smell of burning flesh and hair.
Anput created a small fortress around us as well, before she pushed Leone up slightly into the air to have a better view over the battlefield; inside the walls of the fortress, she made a few seats and lounged on one of them, watching everything unfold curiously.
Nirinia joined her, not too versed in magic to offer much help anywhere, with Jahi sitting down as well as they began to talk about anything that came to mind.
Their eyes never left the battlefield though, just in case Leone required aid or something large happened, giving them the ability to react quickly to the changes.
As for me, I gave the Vampire a boost by summoning a temperate gale of wind to fuel her flames, making them harsher and deadlier to the unlucky monsters and undead caught inside their scorching embrace.
When that was done, I stood behind her and watched as tornadoes of flame spun around the battlefield, burning everything in their paths and leaving nothing standing in their wake, while a constant barrage of flaming arrows slammed into the earth.
Besides the two spells working on their own, Leone wielded Moon and Blood Magic to a terrifying degree as she warped the fabric of reality for some of the elites, making them walk willingly into the tornadoes and burn themselves to a crisp, while the Blood of her enemies became a new weapon for her to wield.
A long whip of crystalized Blood cracked through the air, slicing cleanly through flesh and bone equally as she indulged in her darker urges free of worry, safe in the knowledge that everything here was a monster or undead that held no sentience.
In other words, we were witnessing the utter domination of this battlefield by a crazed Vampire that could wield two ancient magics and one elemental magic to brutal efficiency, all while she let go of her normal moral limiters.
To say that we were all rather intrigued and aroused by this side of the normally calm and timid Princess would be an understatement, and I was rather curious if there was a way I could get this side to make an appearance every once in a while...
Either way, this was a fruitful excursion even for us as we got to witness the power of Leone first hand, while also getting some slight practice with our own spells as we busied ourselves, waiting for the Vampire to run low on mana or decide that she had enough fun.
She... was there for a half hour before she asked for a potion, making all of us smile wryly as we acquiesced to her wish.
