Chapter 413 Slap yourself, bitch.
- PoV: Quinlan -With the assistance of my Assassin class and its wonderful spells, namely [Stealth] and [Backstab], and with the aid of my super-talented rogue lover, we managed to make our way into the main mansion. There were some sneaky, cleverly placed defensive artifacts along the way, but with her unnatural senses, she somehow knew of their existence before we triggered them.
Soon after we stepped in alarms began ringing, but it was all too late already. "[Warp Gate]" I intoned while pointing at a wall, and soon the visage of my gorgeous samurai waltzing through confidently welcomed my eyes. The rest of the high-tier combatants of the Ascendants followed close behind her.
As for the order my alchemist issued, it was delivered swiftly and without resistance as Selene involuntarily brought her palm up to her mask and lay a good smack on it. She was not at all happy but knew that speaking back would only make things worse.
I couldn't help but chuckle at my amber-eyed lover. She likely thought that I wasn't listening in on their conversation, or was just too angry that she forgot to care. Naturally, I'd long since known that she was much more than a needy woman who pretended to be a little girl to earn my pampering. I had no reason to ruin her fun so I played along, ignoring the obvious signs that she was a shrewd woman. It's not like her actions of more or less begging for my caressing were false, not at all, just that there was more to her than she let on.
Anyhow.
We were only at the entrance of the large, multi-floored building. I would've liked us to sneak closer to the boss' room before summoning my warriors, but the alarm going off made me think otherwise. Now we had to climb to the summit, so to speak.
Only after a couple of encounters it become evident that going in a massive group was redundant.
While this member distribution left the two groups rather unbalanced, I wanted to keep my lovers in sight so that I could protect them. As for Lyra, she came along with us for two reasons.
One, with Kaelira going to the second team, sending another tanker would be ineffective. She could be much better utilized in our group.
Second, I decided to make the pink-haired beauty the final member of my permanent combat group. We desperately needed a frontline tanker who would let Ayame and Lucille enjoy wreaking havoc on the enemy's flanks without having to take the brunt of their offense. This would also allow Seraphiel to be more sparing with her mana expenditure and healing spells, instead acting more as our offensive ranger than healer.
I could've had Kaelira take this spot, but she was a Phenom candidate. I planned to have her join the Consortium as my equal so that I would have more members on the inside with not only a strong voice but also enjoying the Consortium's support. As the leader I will have to finance all my other subordinates and their growth, so if the syndicate could take the mantle and chip in, that would be much appreciated.
Now I just had to find her a good team of Heralds, since running around with five rangers as she'd been doing thus far was a big no-go for me. They were perfect to protect my home since it was surrounded by hundreds of miles of forest biome, so they would be the sentinels protecting the outskirts and the eager caretakers of the Geim.
Cedric and Selene would likely get their team spots refilled by their rich parents, so Abudha was the only one left whom I had to provide some subordinates for. Well, the last round will be an individual tournament, so it was not urgent to do so.
"Ah! Please, spare me!" A guy shouted just before Lucille's bloodthirsty axe was lodged deep into his shoulder blades, nearly splitting him apart. Sёarch* The NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
I couldn't help but wonder what expression Mavena, Lucille's daughter, would have on her face if she saw her mother in action. Lucille transitioned from an innkeeper's wife to a horrifying Berserker as seamlessly as if she'd been born for this.
"[Magic Arrow]" Sera cast her spell as she shot a dude in the back as he was doing his best to run away from us.
"[Vertical Slash]" Ayame intoned her basic Samurai class ability as she split a guard perfectly in half.
More and more opposition was erected to stop our advance, so taking them prisoner was no longer a safe approach to the situation.
However, a few seconds after her kill the oriental bombshell froze. Yes, completely. She paused and refused to move. It took her a short bit to muster enough brain power to ask what was on her mind.
