............"Before I indulge in this sweet treat, I need to wash myself and refresh my mood," Darius murmured, his eyes lingering hungrily on her hot and enticing body, bound so helplessly on the bed.Feeling a surge of anticipation, he swiftly undressed, his movements fluid and confident, before disappearing into the marble-clad bathroom."Shhhh....!"The sound of running water filled the room as he prepared for what promised to be an exhilarating evening of twisted pleasure.Elara was lost in her dreams, unaware that she was already in the clutches of a hungry wolf eagerly anticipating his meal. Meanwhile, someone else was overcome with worry for her.In Aarav Veridian's home, He paced back and forth in the living room, his heart racing with concern. "Why isn't she replying to my messages? What's happening?" he muttered to himself, typing frantically but receiving no response.Astrid, seated on the couch, sensed her lord's distress and her curiosity piqued. "Who are you tryin
............"It's right here," Astrid pointed to a specific location, glancing at her Lord, who was barely concealing his simmering rage.'I would pray for whoever idiot messed up so badly. They're in for a trip to hell,' Astrid thought to herself, imagining the consequences for anyone who dared to harm her Lord's wife."Click... Honk...!"Just as he opened the door to leave, the sound of a car horn echoed outside, followed by the screech of brakes as a car pulled up in front of his house."Brother!" Aria's voice rang out with excitement as she bounded out of the car, her face lighting up with a radiant smile."Hello, Mr. Veridian!" Maya chimed in, stepping out of the car gracefully, her demeanor polite and friendly."Oh, Aria! Hello, Ms. Maya. Thank you for accompanying her!" Aarav greeted them warmly, his boiling rage dissipating as he returned Aria's hug and exchanged pleasantries with Maya.He nodded appreciatively at Maya, and expressed his gratitude for keeping his sister comp
............"Today is the day, I would make you my bitch and devour your family whole in front of your eyes, Ahhhh...The look of despair in your eyes, I can't wait to see that...!" Darius mumbled with a crazy expression as he imagined the despair on Elara's face."Knock...knock...!"Just as he was about to indulge in those soft, inviting marshmallows, another knock on the door shattered his moment of fun."Ahhhh... I'm gonna kill the fucking bastard!" Darius's eyes blazed with fury as he glared at the door, his frustration boiling over.Grabbing a fork from the table, he stomped towards the door, his steps heavy with irritation."Click...who the hell...!" Darius flung open the door, ready to unleash his wrath on whoever dared to disturb him."Bamnnn...Offf..fff...Crash hhhh...!""Thud ...!"Darius felt like a speeding truck had collided with him; his body was thrown back, crashing into the table. The impact shattered it into pieces, sending Champagne cascading over his face like a b
............"Ahhhhh...ahhhhhh...!" The agonized cries echoed through the corridor, sending shivers down Eina Sins's spine as she stood frozen in front of the broken door."What's going on... whose scream is this...?" Eina Sins's voice trembled with fear, her hands clutching at her chest as she struggled to comprehend the scene before her."Ahh... My Lord... My Lord~~!!" Phia's voice rose amidst the agony-filled cries, filled with a mix of ecstasy and reverence as she entered the room.Her eyes shone with devotion, reflecting the divine light that emanated from Aarav.She called out again and again, her voice a melodic chant that echoed through the room, as if she was channeling the very essence of her faith."Mmmnn..." Aarav felt a subtle shift in his surroundings, causing him to pause and glance up, his gaze meeting Phia Lumara's."Ahhh... My Lord~~, this humble servant greets you, offering her lowly self in your grace!" Phia's voice quivered with reverence as she spoke, her heart
............"Lord Moon, are you sure it's safe to provoke him?" The man in the car asked, his voice tinged with doubt and apprehension.Still reeling from the residual pressure in the room earlier, he couldn't shake the fear of facing the Lord Heir himself.His legs trembled involuntarily, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. Every hair on his body seemed to stand on end, sending prickles of warning throughout his entire being."No, we're not going to do anything stupid. We know we can't handle the consequences if the Lord Heir gets angry with us," Kieran Moonshroud replied firmly, his expression serious and his brow furrowed in deep thought.'What kind of mess did I get myself into? Damn those fucking greedy elders, they can all go die for all I care. Why did they drag me into this?' Kieran's mind raced with regret and frustration. If he had known the Lord Heir was already Awakened, he would have never accepted this mission in the first place. He cursed silently, feeling a bitt
............"What's going on... Big Brother and Big Sisters!" Aria's voice cut through the tension as she descended the stairs with Maya, her brow furrowed in confusion as she took in the scene unfolding before her.Meanwhile, Eina Sins stood frozen in shock, her mouth hanging open as she watched the unexpected display of vulnerability from Astrid Starcrest and Phia Lumara.She never imagined that the esteemed ladies, known as the Three Royal Flowers of the Capital City, would show such humility.'Even if I told anyone what I witnessed, no one would believe me. Even Divine Lords himself is the stuff of legend,' Eina Sins mused silently, feeling overwhelmed by the surreal turn of events.Eina had been in a daze since encountering Aarav in his Divine Heir Avatar. Seeing her admired role models, Astrid and Phia, showing such a shameful display, shattered her mental image of them.'Ahhh... whatever, I don't know anymore...!' Eina stopped trying to reconcile her perception of the two wom
............"Hey, don't lump me with those greedy fools from the Starcrest Family. It's just me here, serving my Lord!" Astrid's voice dripped with disdain as she spoke about her family, her eyes locked onto Phia's, challenging her silently."Heh, pretty confident there, Astrid Starcrest. But do you really think you can compete with me? Hmph!" Phia's smirk grew wider as she retorted, her eyes gleaming in response to Astrid's challenge.'But this is good,' Phia thought to herself, her mind racing with possibilities.'It seems Astrid is making her move independently, not taking orders from her family,' she concluded, maintaining her condescending smile as she observed Astrid's changing expression."We'll see. Anyway, I didn't call you here to argue, but to warn you!" Astrid's expression turned serious as she sat up straight.Astrid pulled out an object that looked like a small umbrella, resembling a toy."What... why are you setting up a barrier?" Phia's curiosity peaked as she recogn
............"I wanted to warn you about the heir of the Everglen Family, who, according to my sources, should be arriving tomorrow. So, expect chaos in the city!" Astrid finally revealed, her posture relaxing as she slouched down and began to sip her drink."Before I go, can you tell me why you're being so cooperative in sharing all this info?" Phia asked, her eyes narrowing with curiosity and suspicion."Oh, just trying to show some goodwill by sharing what I know," Astrid replied with a grin, swirling her drink."Do you think I'll let you off easy just because of this?" Phia rolled her eyes, not buying Astrid's act, before she stormed off, leaving her alone."Fufufu!" Astrid couldn't help but chuckle at Phia's reaction as she savored her drink before eventually leaving the pub herself.Meanwhile, after Phia passed on the information to her family, the Lumara Family wasted no time in making their move.Even if the information wasn't entirely reliable, they knew there was a possibil
............"What... do you know them? Who are they?" Emilia asked in a serious tone, hearing that Aria was familiar with the attackers."Yes... these are the same people who attacked Elandor's domain a while back. And I am pretty sure you can guess whose forces these are," Aria said with a contemplative look before she gave a glance at Emilia, who seemed to understand what Aria was trying to point out."I know... looks like we can’t overlook it any longer. Lady Aria, may I request you to get reinforcements, as I am not sure about the extent of the destruction these forces can cause in our land?" Emilia nodded, her face turning even graver before she bowed towards Aria and made her request."Please, you don't have to request it from me. I will help you either way, as it's also a threat to our land. While I go and gather reinforcements, can you hold on for a while?" Aria asked, stopping Emilia from bowing to her as she smiled in determination and agreed immediately."Yes, we will hol
............"You will be even more amazed, Lady Emilia, if you meet Lord Veridian in person. He is an amazing Divine Heir of God Elandor, from how he conducts himself to the way he carries the light with him," Aria said with respect in her tone, showing how great an impression Aarav Veridian had left on her."Now I am even more eager to meet Lord Veridian. Let's hope he is as great as your words describe him to be," Emilia said with a slight smile, raising the corner of her mouth as she met Aria's eyes, who returned her gaze with a confident stare.After that, Aria and Emilia talked about their plans—how they were going to weather the upcoming storm.The discussion went on for hours before they decided to walk out of the temple."By the way, Lady Emilia, if you are busy and have something important to attend to, then you don't have to personally accompany me," Aria said as she walked alongside Emilia, who had decided to show her around their capital city, Phelia."No way, Lady Aria.
............“LORD HEIR!” The crowd cheered again, even louder this time. Aarav raised his hand, gesturing for silence.“Alright, alright,” he said with a smile. “I get your enthusiasm. But we don’t just need high spirits—we need unity. We need all of you to step forward together, to face this reality as one and bring about a bright future.”His voice was filled with fervor, carrying a weight that seemed to stir the very air around them. The believers of Elandor below shook with goosebumps, feeling the power in Aarav’s words, which were infused with a subtle trace of Divine Energy.Aarav had intended to boost their morale—and it worked far better than he had expected. The crowd stood straighter, their faith and the fire burning brighter than ever.Aarav looked at the crowd one last time before waving to them. He stepped down from the podium and returned to discuss their next steps with the Pope and Cardinals.He wasn’t the only one making preparations. As Aria had promised him, she a
............A sudden, overwhelming pressure exploded from the throne, sending him hurtling through the air and crashing into one of the tree’s thick branches outside the temple."Cough, cough...!!" The High Prophet spat blood but slowly made his way back into the temple. Kneeling once again, he showed no anger or frustration at being injured—only trembling fear in the face of the figure’s fury on the throne.Sylas’s eyes, glowing with an unnatural light, cut through the darkness as he sat motionless on the throne, his presence suffocating. The High Prophet of Pestilence didn’t dare lift his head. The air around them was thick with the stench of rot and corruption, heavy with a crushing pressure.“Elandor’s Heir... and the Heir of Astraia,” Sylas muttered, his voice filled with disdain. “How dare she interfere in my plans?”His words echoed, each one pressing down harder on the High Prophet. Silence followed, broken only by the distant howling wind outside the temple. The elder remai
............“Thank you,” Aria replied, her movements graceful as she took a seat across from him. Between them stood a small circular table, with a basket of snacks and fruit placed in the center, adding a touch of warmth to the room’s otherwise solemn atmosphere."Mr. Aarav, what are your plans regarding the cultists? I’m certain they won’t stop invading this continent and causing chaos," Aria asked, sitting back in a relaxed position, her eyes steady on him.Aarav sighed, his tone dim and unconfident. "What can I do alone? Even with the Crystal Healing Organization backing me, I’m not confident in facing those lunatic cultists." He spoke with a heaviness, aware of the overwhelming power he had witnessed in their last battle.He knew his own limitations. The devastation left by the cultists was a harsh reminder. Even Pope Aurelius, with all his influence, wouldn’t be enough to turn the tide. Aarav understood that unless he reached the fourth stage, the *Virtuoso of Vitality*, he wo
............"Ah... thank you! And how should I address you?" Aarav quickly snapped out of his daze, expressing his gratitude before asking with a respectful tone."Aria... Heir to the Goddess of Stars, Astraia. It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Heir..." Aria smiled, her face radiant like a flower blooming under the soft glow of moonlight. The sight made Aarav's heart race uncontrollably."Aarav... it's just Aarav, Miss Aria. Please, don't be so formal; it makes me feel uncomfortable." He interrupted her before she could speak too respectfully again, gently requesting that she call him by his name instead.Aarav didn’t want to come off like some spoiled young master, or as if they were stuck in some ancient civilization that hadn’t learned how to speak casually about simple things."Oh... alright, Mr. Aarav." Aria seemed a little surprised but then covered her mouth and chuckled. "Fufu...You don’t seem to like the ancient etiquette, do you?"Her soft laughter filled the air, the warm
............"Enough of this!" One of the cultists yelled, raising his hand into the air. A dark aura began swirling around him, corrupting the very energy in the atmosphere. The others followed, channeling the same malevolent force, preparing for a combined attack.Aarav could feel the shift—their power was immense. He flinched, sensing the ominous energy closing in around him."You think that’ll be enough to get rid of me?" Aarav’s voice cut through the tension. "You’ve forgotten who you're dealing with."As the dark energy swirled and gathered, Aarav took a deep breath and raised his weapon high. The blade gleamed with a blinding light, and the ground trembled under his feet as his divine power flared to life."Let me show you what true divine power looks like," Aarav declared, his voice steady. With one decisive motion, he shattered the one-use divine tool he carried, instantly replenishing the lost energy within him.And then, with explosive force, he unleashed it."Craaack... B
............"Clanngg....Boomnn...!!""Swiish....Bammn...!!""Ahh... Cough... Cough...!" Aarav took another relentless hit, sliding back a few steps before losing his balance and dropping to one knee, blood dripping from his mouth."Hahaha... Elandor's Heir, already broken? I was hoping to play with you some more!" The bald cultist cackled, his words dripping with contempt.Aarav wiped the blood from his lips, smirking. "Feeling smug, huh? It’s just a scratch, nothing worth mentioning." He rose to his feet, his body glowing as the injury healed instantly, as though it never existed.The cultist's eyes widened, then his expression twisted with anger. "Damn it! I forgot Elandor is the God of Healing and Medicine!" Realizing his mistake, fury replaced his shock, and he lunged at Aarav in a blind rage, furious at being humiliated.Aarav's smile turned cold. "Heh, let me show you what else I can do," he muttered under his breath."Swishhh... Whoosh...!!"The cultist attacked wildly, but A
............In the middle of the cultist Camp,The clash of metal and the roar of power filled the air. "Whoosh... Boom!" "Swiish... Swiish... Claanng! Claanng!" Two figures were locked in a high-speed battle, while four others stood on the sidelines, amusement clear on their faces.“Is this all you’ve got, Heir of Elandor?” The bald man, wearing a black robe with dark tattoos on his head, sneered sarcastically at Aarav Veridian, who met his gaze with a cold, steely stare.“Are you really that eager to meet your end?” Aarav shot back, his voice dripping with sarcasm."Swiish... Bannng...!!"Aarav swiftly blocked the cultist’s strike aimed at his throat and, in one smooth motion, delivered a powerful roundhouse kick to the man’s ribs. The bald cultist’s eyes widened in pain as he stumbled backward, trying to regain his balance.“Argh... you bastard!” the cultist cursed, groaning in pain as he stood up, clutching his side where Aarav’s kick had landed. His eyes burned with fury.“
