Chapter 311
Chapter 311
A little more than three weeks had passed. There were only a few days left before the grand tournament.
Deep underground, a deafening rumble resounded again and again in one of the most fortified rooms of the Cernos training building.
~bа-а-аm~
The blow, surpassing all the previous ones, smashed a mighty metal dummy to pieces. Drenched in sweat, exhausted by long, hard training, Charles threw back his head and smiled: «I did it… Right before the tournament. After many months of painstaking training, I’ve finally reached the damned tenth stage!»
The last time Charles felt this rapture was three years ago, when he basked in the glory, being respected by his people. He was number two in the whole kingdom, second only to Elsa. However, everything changed after Michael’s sudden marriage to Vlada. His life instantly turned into a nightmare! The Queen’s daughter became the first princess, the main contender for the throne, as he was only a bastard. Kara beat him up in front of everyone, confirming her dominant position and taking away all his power and glory. Neither the students nor the elders took the prince seriously. To crown it all, his father the king had changed beyond recognition, unwilling even to talk to his son about what was going on!
It took Charles almost two years to realize what was happening. He tried to bring the demons down but received a first and last warning, or rather, a death threat. It dawned on him then that he was just a puppet to divert suspicion, and his father was a pathetic slave.
The prince was not going to give up and secretly looked for a way out of his deplorable situation but to no result. The demons controlled the entire kingdom and his every step. A single mistake could mean death.
Charles was on the brink of despair when he saw the impeccable work of the Black Queen, the best assassin in the kingdom! New hope kindled inside him. He made the decision to recruit her at any cost.
For a whole year, the prince followed the girl pretending to be a fool in love for the amusement of the entire kingdom, and she kept blowing him off like a pathetic loser. Charles ran out of patience. He risked and spent most of his savings on a transformation pill to bribe the killer, but his kindness didn’t pay off. She brazenly robbed and “poisoned” him with coniferous venom ro boot! He suffered in brothels for three weeks because of the heartless bitch! As if it weren’t enough, she killed his father at Vlada’s request. Prince Charles had experienced so many hardships that he was tired of praying to the goddess for justice.
Just then his pleas were heard. One evening, a whore-investigator called and informed him that the Black Queen had been captured! The prince immediately rushed to the department to make sure that it was true. His happiness knew no bounds! The unapproachable bitch, whose “harmless” joke had nearly given him all sorts of STDs, was now in his complete power! He couldn’t imagine sweeter revenge than raping her! At that moment, he desired to fuck her like a dirty whore! Her slender body excited him, arousing his primitive urges.
It seemed that fortune had finally smiled on him. The hell it did! The ruthless bitch had somehow called a crazy masked investigator! He left Charles no choice but to wait for his turn the next day. As expected, the girl was rescued at night. Charles had no doubt that the jerk had had a fun time with her! A psychopath who left no traces had taken the prince’s dream.
It was one of the worst days in Charles’ life. Only his boundless hatred and hope that sooner or later the demons would be caught saved him from despair. Charles was planning to **** at least Kara to get his revenge. The “little” joke with coniferous had really perverted his nature, since it was his only goal.
A little more than a month later, there was another hit below the belt. The wretched freak had taken Kara’s virginity. Charles should have been happy, but his hands itched with an urge to strangle Dick.
Anyway, the events of the following day brought Charles back hope for a better future: the demons were revealed! Now that the Iron Throne had no official ruler, the imperial authorities had to appoint a new king! And who could be a better choice than the strongest young man in the kingdom, the king’s son no less?
However, Charles had gnawing doubts about his success. He was a bastard, after all. And his reputation left much to be desired. The folk in the kingdom nicknamed him “Prince the Hot Pants” for his regular visits to the brothel and rendering the best prostitutes in the capital useless! The citizens were fuming with righteous anger. They wouldn’t let him get the crown. It was crucial to regain his honor and increase his chances by one hundred percent! The timing of the upcoming grand tournament couldn’t be any better! For the last two decades, Cernos had been ranked fifth and below (out of 7 possible). If the prince managed to get the school fourth or even third place, it would earn him the desired fame! An opportunity not to be missed!
All month long, Charles had been working up a sweat, and today he had finally reached the long-awaited 10th stage. He was hoping to break into the lord phase by the beginning of the tournament! The fifth phase would ensure his impressive results! The last time such a powerful student appeared in Cernos was more than twenty years ago.
The prince took out a bluish pill from the ring and inhaled its thick scent with awe. The Lightning Strike transformation pill guaranteed him a 100% chance to enter the next phase with a slim chance of getting to the second stage at once.
Charles trembled with impatience. He wanted to start transformation right now but wisely decided to take a rest after the exhausting training. The process would take no more than a day, and there was about a week before the tournament. There was no rush.
The next morning, Charles locked the door to his elite training room, took the lotus position and, gathering the courage, swallowed the pill.
As soon as the Lightning Strike reached his stomach, it exploded with searing energy and shot through the channels straight into his soul like an erupting volcano. Charles was sure that the goddess herself had blessed the pill. Why else would its energy have increased after the Black Queen had it? He had no doubt he was going to reach the second stage of the lord phase!
«O-o-o-uch!» – His face twisted in a grimace of pain as if he were struck by lightning. His soul seemed to have faced an aggressive conqueror. Was it the way it should be? Why was there a conflict? Could the energy in the pill blessed by the goddess be so intractable?
{Another test of fate? Hell no! I won’t lose this time!} – The prince promised himself and focused on his soul, trying to absorb the energy of the Mom’s Pet pill.
After two hours of “transformation,” Charles was about to lose consciousness. Something was burning inside him as if demons were tearing his soul apart! He even lost one stage of cultivation!
«АА-ААА-А-АА-АА-ААH!» – With a wild roar, Charles summoned up all his strength for one last fight. The pain gradually disappeared. He seemed to have pulled through. But why was he still at the ninth stage? – {What the hell? Where is my breakthrough? Where is my second stage of the next phase?}
«О-о-о-о-оh!» – The prince groaned, shivering convulsively as if his soul was plunged into a fiery ocean, hot but not scalding. The flame enveloped his spirit, imposing its passionate and perverted will.
Charles suddenly experienced a feeling of déjà vu and shuddered with horror, looking at his groin, where a bulge was growing like a bamboo shoot in a thousandfold acceleration. He had never been scared of his own boner before.
The lustful will of the flame came out of his soul and concentrated in the lower abdomen, preparing his little buddy for passionate adventures that would last a lifetime. An unhealthy blush appeared on Charles’s pale face. Obsessional ideas of copulating with women invaded his mind, his desire increasing with every second. It was many times stronger than in those nightmarish days!
«NO! NOT AGAIN! WHAT’S THE HELL? WHAT’S GOING ON?» – Charles screamed out in agony, pulling his hair out. He could not get why the invaluable transformation pull had taken a stage of cultivation and acted like an elite aphrodisiac! Was the goddess’s blessing in a curse in disguise?
After a few minutes, the prince realized that the ever-growing lust wouldn’t decrease in spite of all his efforts: «Why? FUCKING WHY? WHO DID I RUB UP THE WRONG WAY IN MY PREVIOUS LIFE?» – Charles wept bitterly. – «А-АА-АА-А-АА-ААH!» – With a frantic howl, he rushed in search of beautiful victims. However, he wouldn’t make it till the nearest brothel!
Mom’s Pet pill was the first medicine Kyon had created using the Cycle of Creation. It had unreasonable properties that would bring death to anyone taking it. The owner of this unique body would die of pleasure after having the first sex.
At the time of taking the pill, Charles had already been growing a unique body, so he had received only a part of the properties: a lifelong erection and an irresistible attraction to the opposite sex. As a price for such excellent bonuses, he would lose his chance to break into the lord phase. If the stupid prince had focused his efforts on resisting the energy of the pill, not absorbing it, he would have escaped the severe consequences.
…
The central zone of the Hunters’ territory, the main administration building.
~knock knock~
The patriarch’s assistant gently knocked on the office of her master: «May I come in, young master?»
«I am busy. Come back in five minutes.» – She heard his gentle voice.
«But, young master, it’s urgent!» – The servant begged.
This time she heard his grumbling and belt buckle rattling.
«Come on in!» – He ordered in a displeased voice.
The assistant went inside and saw her master at the table. The handsome, fair-haired man with a short beard was Asagi Hunter. He was only 20 years old but already the patriarch of a great family, the bloody empress’s student! Any girl would consider herself unworthy even of his single glance.
The patriarch’s legs were wide apart, his hand stroking the silky hair of a cute girl sitting next to him on her knees. She had sexy lingerie on, a gorgeous red tail, and lovely pointed furry ears. The beautiful girl was a representative of the royal foxes and a daughter of the local forest city head, a descendant of pure blood. She had been lured to the border, caught and shackled. The gaze of her enchanting green eyes was focused on the floor, expressing sadness and at the same time hopeless humility.
The servant noticed the shackled supreme beast and made a scornful grimace as if she had seen a vile orc. Then she immediately got down to business: «Young master, there’s a top priority order from the government!»
Asagi’s idle annoyance immediately disappeared as he regained his composure. He furrowed his brows and glared at her: «Tell me!»
«You have an order to catch two supreme beasts alive who have invaded Rosarrio from the east side! They both are in the royal phase and will soon enter the Elk Woods! If you don’t catch them in time, they can destroy the whole city! Civilians are in great danger!» – The assistant said it all in one breath.
The Hunters had the third rank in Dantes for a reason. The source of their resources (and hence power) was catching and killing supreme beasts. They often raided forests, getting trophies in the form of slaves, who they sold at the auction, as recently in Boston. The wealth of the family was so great that everyone above the 4th rank had their own harnessed beast or even a group of them. The Hunters were well-known experts in their field, and even the imperial authorities used their services. They hadn’t failed once over the long history of the family. That’s why the Russells assigned them an important task of catching two royal phasers.
Asagi listened attentively to his assistant, wondering to himself. Supreme beasts tended to raid small settlements in groups of ten to thirty to replenish their supplies with people (food) and loot resources. Their leaders were usually noble phasers or the beginning-middle lord phasers at best. Now the situation was beyond his reason! Why were there only two supreme beasts? How come they were royal phasers? Only warriors starting with lieutenants reached this level! What was their real purpose? Did they intend to hunt defenseless people and get away with it?
Asagi nodded: «Lila, give orders to the first six divisions. They must start as soon as possible in full gear. Murat will command, as usual. We will catch these bloodthirsty creatures!»
«Yes, young master!» – The assistant exclaimed with a broad smile, cast a dismissive glance at the fox and ran off to carry out the order.
Asagi drummed his fingers on the table thoughtfully, turned his gloomy gaze at the long-eared fox and unbuckled his belt.
The fox pursed her lips and crawled to her owner without saying a word, fearing to make him angry.
