Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix

Chapter 81: First Day - Big Success!

This time around, the pair's teamwork was almost perfect. Their initial success saw them fighting off twenty Stage Two monsters and four Stage Three as Xavida's realm finally stabilised at Stage Three(Early).

"Asura!!! We did it! Hehehe~ this time, we didn't get hurt!" Xavida's bloody face and lovely pearly white teeth shone as she dove into his arms, kissing his lips with a wet smack, wrapping her legs and arms around him.

"It's thanks to your cute little ass and white lightning, haha."

"Fufu~ then do you want to eat my ass hehehe~ I will let you this once!"

"Tsk... you know we can't right now!"

"Hahahaha! Bad Guy, did your pants get tight?"

The pair looked like a couple of savages as they wrapped their hands in claws, his black and hers pink, but they were dripping with flesh and blood after they took everything they could from the beasts.

During the month-long tournament, Stage Two and Three meat, hide, teeth, ears, and other organs and parts held great value since nobody accepted any money. Also, the special merchants sent by a neutral kingdom rejected it.

'It's a good thing I remembered about those damn boxes. Thanks to the monoliths, I also have some extra safety items for the other two teams.'

The participants could not bring excessive items like Supreme grade items or magical weapons, but defensive items like ritual stones or candles to make safe spots were fine.

Because you needed to kill beasts to earn points.

Stage Two monsters gave 1 point

Stage Three monsters gave 10 points

Stage Four monsters gave 100 points

Stage Fives would give 1000 points and a special reward from the academy.

"Phew... Xavida, you are so light... where is all your meat?" Asura joked, slapping her behind with a loud, meaty smack, causing her to growl before biting his neck.

"Hmph.. bad guy, don't touch my ass! It's expensive!"

The pair were in a great mood, and their atmosphere and compatibility were amazing as Asura hopped along the tree's over 60ft in the air, his body twisting and flipping to avoid any branches, as Xavi just wrapped her long tail around his waist hanging in his arms like a spider monkey.

"Kyaaa~ we're falling! Hehehe."

'I bet anyone watching thinks we're idiots on a date in the jungle or something... Good, don't take us seriously!'

Asura had made his father's knight bet over 100 gold on their ranking being top five, and that payout was currently 100/1 because of rumours that after the training, he became crippled, something the prince did that helped him make money for his territory.

"Remember, the traders will visit each camp once on the fifth, tenth, fifteenth and twenty-fifth day to sell or buy wares, Xavida!"

"kyayayaaya! I will~ keep jumping!"

To celebrate her reaching the Third Stage, Asura gave her a princess carry through the forest while his black dragon tail wrapped around the trees, sending them flying around like two natural spirit beasts.

'Although I am confident, we have all we need...'

'The medicine, defensive and offensive items sold by those merchants are top quality and able to damage or resist Stage Five powerhouses.'

Another good reason to meet the merchants was to check your current standings in the betting numbers and competition's rankings, letting you know if you needed to try harder to reach the desired rank.

'Well, you can also see the death toll and missing people...'

Asura's main thing was food; they were both beast-type bloodlines, so they became hungrier the more they fought. Sometimes Xavida ate more than Mu Xue could eat in a week in one meal...

Honestly... it was why they took all the meat from twenty-plus animals.

'I guess we are lucky... Most people wouldn't be able to keep high energy combat against the ambush that appeared for us.'

If they got unlucky portal coordinates. Many people would die instantly.

The survivors wouldn't spend most time fighting, but over 80% usually involved running and searching for a safe hiding place.

With a crack, they landed on a huge platform that spanned over twenty trees, with various small huts and buildings covered in dirt and cobwebs.

This was likely a watch post when the Kingdom border used to cut through this forest.

"Xavi, get down and let's clean this place up."

"Mmmm, okay honey~ let's clean up our new home."

The pair stored their food in Asura's storage, pretending to use his item ring that matched Mu Xue and Xavida's engagement rings.

'Enough food for three days if we fight like today... We need more.'

While the two were cleaning the watchtowers, Asura's magic and anima started spreading through the forest 200x200 metres to protect them from predators.

He planned to set up the ritual candles, stones and circles immediately.

"The Academy is stingy... their basic supplies allow us to create a safe base, but it's only basic level and cannot resist anything beyond Stage Three... stupid."

"Stupid! Hehe~ Come, kiss me. I worked so hard to clean!"

Some time had passed, and Xavida was a little tired of cleaning. Their small wooden home was all but completed. An abandoned watch post from the past 50ft above the floor with several secondary posts to the east, west, north and south.

'This girl...'

"Help me set up the anti-monster ritual!"

"Mm!"

The sky wasn't dark, but it was coming close to night as they set up a stone circle and sacred ritual that Xavida had bought the week before using her spending money.

"Okay... these barriers should work against monsters or humans up to Stage Five, but a real Stage Five might be difficult..."

"Safe now?" Xavida asked as she stripped her clothes hidden inside the room and beckoned him over.

****

Meanwhile, back at the Academy viewing auditorium.

Lorem and Lucretia were the commentators as they watched the fate of ten groups, with the last group on the main screen...

"Eh? Is she..." Lorem exclaimed as inside the wooden hut of Asura...

"Wow, his back is so sexy..." Lucretia whispered.

Xavida stripped, her eyes looking around to locate the cameras and avoid her skin being seen...

Then the camera picks up Asura, removing all his clothes from head to toe, his muscular back and firm ass causing the girls in the crowd to go crazy, as he seems to push Xavida down onto the bed, beginning their act.

"Is he going to fuck her!?" a male student asked in shock.

"Ah... that scarred back and muscular body... I want him to push me down." A feminine voice sounded as her friends nodded in unison.

"Did you see the shadow of his cock? Fuck me."

"Literally!"

"Ah!?" many voices sounded as the camera quickly changed to another scene.

The last sounds were the fierce sounds of flesh slapping and the cute voice of the stoic dragoness squealing and apologising for being cheeky...

It forced many students to adjust their sitting positions and cover their laps.

Switch to Lorem and Lucretia both giving commentary; most of the students in the 2nd year, along with the instructors, would stay in this huge auditorium while the king and Nobles watch from the castle in comfort.

The relaxed state of the couple made the betting board change, with the chance of them finishing top 5 now only 40/2.

The primary image changed to the princess.

Suddenly, as she was about to land after killing a Stage Three beast, a sudden flash of light showed on the screen as a hooded figure pierced her chest near her shoulder before Mu Xue beheaded him with her eastern blade with a single flash of blue light.

"Oi... are you dead, princess?" Mu Xue spoke harshly to Princess Vela, who was convulsing on the floor and biting her lower lip.

"Do I look dead to you!?" Vela cried out as she winced in agony, the icy knight lifting her like garbage and throwing her over her shoulder.

"Hmmm... I feel like I smell Asura... but the area feels dangerous. Let's head away."

"Nnn..."

The two teleported only a few hundred metres from where Asura and Xavida were a few minutes ago.

"Don't you think it's weird she can smell him, like a dog?" Lorem asked, only to find Lucretia watching the camera near Asura...

"Ahh...no...Mmm... Too deep~ Ashura.... I'll break!!! Don't slap my butt!!" Xavida's high-pitched and sensual wailing sounded from her small screen... causing Lorem's face to twitch as she, too, opened the same screen... but one that could see him from the side.

"Damn, it's huge when erect..."
