Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix

Chapter 49 Intense Training - Hell...

Chapter 49  Intense Training - Hell...

? Lorem POV ?

Lorem was standing in front of a small group of her class.

Today was the day to start the first week of training, during which she would be in charge of half while Lucretia would train the rest. However, she felt irritation in her eyes. Her gaze passed over Asura Fenix, and Mu Xue fixed on her stomach and the sensation she could feel inside. 'It seems this idiot gave his first time to this blade knight, and now she will become even stranger with the power of phoenix flames in her arsenal.'

She didn't have any problem with it but felt this would be such an annoying waste of potential if given to her. No, her thoughts stopped on that idea as she shook her head.

This change wouldn't make her a phoenix or change her greatly, but now, along with her amazing affinity with ice, her fire affinity was at least a B-grade.

"Good morning, everyone—it seems you all don't want to die and turned up today!" 'These damn cute kids, why are you smiling so brightly? Don't you know the Hell we are going to make you endure?'

'War is coming, and I don't plan to see any more of my students dying because of people's greed!'

'Even if it is my own King.'

"Good morning, Instructor!" Asura was the first to give a suitable response. His eyes were focused and filled with fire.

"Morning, Instructor!" Mu Xue followed as the other members greeted them in order.

Well, of course, they would. He probably spent the entire weekend having sex with the girl beside him because of how luscious her hair and skin were.

'She looks like Lucretia after breaking through to the next stage... all soft, fluffy and sated...'

"Do you remember that half of you will be going with Lucretia, who will be a little late as always, and then the rest with me?"

The students nodded, so Lorem leaned against the blackboard and tapped her fingers.

"Xavida and Fenix pair up."

"Mu Xue and Vela."

"Griezeman and Cedric."

Like this, they were arranged in their groups while Lorem took Xavida and Asura along with Cedric and his partner while stepping away as Lucretia finally came to the classroom a little out of breath and looked a little over.

"Sorry, I'm a little late... I drank too much last night... fufu."

"Shut up and get your students. We're going to the portals!"

'How hasn't this woman been fired yet? Her body stinks of alcohol and her pathetic masturbation.'

'Imagine a woman known for her charm and sexy dances is a complete virgin because of the cultivation technique she has...' 'Even the damn duchess of Drakkur isn't this stupid and chose a technique where she could have fun.'

"Right, Kids, follow me. We're going to leave."

Lorem seemed a little more cheerful as the group left the classroom—only Lucretia and her groups stood a little dizzy as Mu Xue's eyes watched Asura leave with a nostalgic and devastated glint before they turned slightly dull...

'Ah... this boy stuck his penis in a crazy chick...'

She thought to herself, seeing the look that Mu Xue gave Asura and Xavida, who held hands as if it were natural.

'But this kid, why is he making moves of the future demon queen... doesn't he realise that makes him a big target...?'

'Whatever... Let's make him tough enough to survive their knives in dark corners.'

? Asura POV ?

'Being separated from Xue'er after we spent the past two days together feels strange, and I rarely leave bed...'

'She looks so lonely I can feel her icy magic forming from here.'

"Hmmm?"

Xavida grasped his hand as she looked to the ground. Sometimes, her eyes would peek at him with a strange glint as they walked towards the teleportation booth. 'Why is she holding my hand so obediently today?'

He didn't resist or flick it away. Looking back, he saw Mu Xue's crazy look and could only give her a bright smile and blow a kiss using one hand. This seemed to work, as she blushed and covered her face before vanishing from his sight.

"So each of your groups will be sent to a different place where we have tamed and controlled various ranked monsters."

"First, Cedric, you are going to Zone 2A, which is mostly filled with Stage Two monsters, but don't think it will be easy as they are intelligent and numerous."

"Yes, instructor!" Cedric had learned from showing off in the past; now he was quiet alongside his male partner."

"Prince Velos and Sarah will be sent to Zone 2C like 2A. It is dangerous, and you will probably struggle early on, so make sure not to make light of it!"

The prince looks pathetic at the moment, haha... I think the last beating did a number on his body.

"Asura Fenix, Xavida Bahamot... you two, well, the Zone you go to has a nickname, and that name is Hell. You two powerful partners can easily take care of it."

'Hey!?'

'That's all we get! What's that ominous name?'

Before he could speak, they arrived at the teleport room with more than ten booths.

As Lorem stepped forward to confirm with the knights and technicians, Asura and Xavida returned to their awkward state as she suddenly spoke...

"Asura... Did you have a good weekend?"

It was the first time she approached, and he was shocked and worried about how to answer her.

Do I say it was great? Why is your smile so much feminine today?

Asura had no way of knowing the lonely weekend had changed Xavida's thoughts, and the feeling of not being forced to suffer pain to live because of her curse also caused her to think of the one who helped her... Along with the books she read.

It was true for some reason—the Xavida he met today was much less prickly. Even when he was holding hands with Mu Xue, there seemed to be nothing wrong as she smiled at him for a greeting, and now... "I had a wonderful weekend, but it would have been nice to have seen your face."

His words were just lip service. They weren't lies, though, as he felt this way. Seeing her was somehow soothing as she was so small and adorable.

"Really!?"

Her voice was filled with excitement and so loud that the other pairs suddenly looked over towards them. The prince scowled at Asura before they met eyes, and he began to whimper and look away.

"Is something wrong?" Knight Sarah asked—her voice was quite mature and tomboyish as Asura waved his hand.

"Ah no, it's fine."

"Mn! Fine... Ignore!" Xavida added as she looked at Asura with her small white tail hidden beneath her skirt swaying happily.

Asura didn't want another issue because Lorem seemed ready. Her stern gaze called up the first group and looked at him with a look that seemed to mock him.

Strange woman.

"Xavi, I did miss you though. You're really cute today. Did you change your makeup?" "Ah...!" Xavida's face became bright red because she only followed the tips in the books now—her tail was almost making her skirt turn over as her little hand gripped him tighter after a short time of waiting.

It was finally their turn. With Lorem's call, the sweet moment with the tsundere dragoness was over.

"Yo, Loverboy and his lizard wife, your portal is ready, the black and silver one in bay four."

"Here we go. Make sure to watch each other's backs."

Asura looked forward, trying to ignore the sweet smell Xavida was giving off that tickled his nose. She seemed nervous as she nodded and gripped his hand even harder.

"If you die, I will kill you myself!"

'I guess that's Xavida's style of concern, so I should accept it with thanks.'

"Then I will live and keep holding your soft little hand, Xavi."

"Idiot... dumb," Xavida muttered with a radiant smile.

Asura dragged her forward towards the teleport pod. The doors slid downwards as he pulled her into a tight embrace, worried they might be separated before the void swallowed them... transporting them into their Zone, the infamous Hell...

Unaware of how radiant and delighted the dragoness was in his arms... the amount of essence flowing into him was much greater than usual.

[What happened with this girl? Why is she suddenly in love-love mode with Asura!?]
