Chapter 899 I Will Be Sad. So Don’t Die
?
The day after Lux became a C-Ranker, the Half-Elf went to check the other people who were captured by Queen Rhiannon and brought to the Passion Palace.
"What did you say?" Lux asked Malcolm, whose head was currently resting on the lap of a mature beauty, who was lovingly caressing his naked chest. "You plan to stay here and fight for the war?"
"Yes," Malcolm answered. "I decided to stay so that I could protect Julia, Piper, and Juniper. I won't let them get hurt."
The three ladies in question were currently by Malcolm's side, with one giving him a lap pillow, and the other two hugging him from the sides.
The teenage boy was naked, and only a towel covered his member, which was recovering its strength for another round with the three ladies by his side.
After experiencing the same thing as Malcolm, he had no words to say except "Long Live Thighs!".
The Half-Elf also couldn't find fault in Malcolm's decision because he, too, was going to fight in the upcoming War between Abyssal Lords.
Even so, Lux asked a second time to confirm whether the young man with dark blue hair was not under the influence of a charm ability and was truly going to fight for what he believed in.
"Are you prepared to die here in the Abyss?" Lux inquired. "Do you not want to go back to Elysium?"
"Don't misunderstand me, Lux," Malcolm replied. "I will go back to Elysium, but only after this war ends. I'm sure that I'm going to regret it in the future if I run away from this battle."
Lux was now sure that Malcolm wasn't under the influence of a charm spell and that the latter had made a decision with his own free will.
Since that was the case, he no longer asked him anything and checked on Xander.
Just like Malcolm, the young warrior from the Rowan Tribe was butt naked, and currently sleeping peacefully in the embrace of a beautiful blonde succubus, who looked like a young lady in her late teens.
The Succubus even placed a finger over her lips, signaling Lux not to wake the young man in her embrace.
The Half-Elf nodded and went to talk to Alicia and Henrietta, who for some reason couldn't look him straight in the eye.
(E/N: Wow, I wonder why? What reason could there be? I don't know either. Really. It's definitely not because she almost—)
"We don't plan to join this war," Alicia said. "Although I'm thankful to the Succubus Queen for extending her help when we were attacked by the Satyrs, this battle is something that is way out of our league. Also, I still want to return to Elysium alive. There are still some unfinished business that I haven't dealt with back there.
Lux knew that one of Alicia's unfinished business was her relationship with his stepfather, Alexander.
Henrietta also didn't want to join the war, and the same could be said for the members of Serenity who had come along with her.
Truth be told, Lux didn't want his allies from Elysium and Solais to fight in the upcoming war, and this was none of their business either.
Knowing that Alicia and Henrietta felt the same, he felt relieved and decided to tell them about his plan before the war started.
"The two of you, as well as those who don't want to fight, will return to Elysium with Cai tonight," Lux explained. "I and a few others will stay to help the Succubus Queen fight her opponents."
"Why aren't you coming with us?" Henrietta asked with concern. "Surely, you do know that this isn't a battle that you should poke your nose in, right?"
The purple-haired beauty subconsciously grabbed hold of Lux's arm, and looked at him with a pleading gaze.
"Please, just go back with us," Henrietta pleaded. "This is not our fight to begin with."
Lux smiled and patted the hand that was holding unto him.
"I'm sorry, but I made an agreement with Queen Rhiannon that I will fight in exchange for everyone's safe return back to Elysium," Lux said softly. "Don't worry. I don't intend to die here. Iris and Cai are waiting for me back home. I can't possibly leave my two beautiful fiances behind now, can I?"
Henrietta's lips trembled before she looked down. However, she still held onto Lux's arm as if using it as a form of support to keep herself standing.
Lux didn't pry her hand away and simply shifted his attention to Alicia. He knew that Henrietta truly cared for his safety, and this was something that warmed his heart.
"When you return, please look for my Master and tell him to return here in the Abyss to back me up," Lux stated. "I know that even if I don't tell you to do this, he would still come here to save me.
"But in order to avoid any misunderstanding, tell him about the current situation between the Succubus Queen and her neighbors. That way, he would not attack Queen Rhiannon the moment he sees her. Just pass my message to him, and I believe he will know what to do next."
The Half-Elf also thought of Eiko, who was currently with Iris back in Elysium.
Knowing her personality, Lux was sure that the Baby Slime would not listen to reason and go to the Abyss to save him with nuclear-level Blast Bombs.
"Are you sure about this?" Alicia asked. "This is a battle that surpasses any of the battles that you have experienced in the past."
"I know, but don't worry," Lux replied. "This is not the first time I've fought against Abyssal Creatures."
During his stay with Zangrila, Lux and his subordinates had fought countless Abyssal Creatures and even stored their bodies inside their Bounty Rings.
Truth be told, the Half-Elf hadn't experienced a proper war because all of the opponents he had faced so far were all more powerful than him.
Because of this, he looked weak and useless in the eyes of others. So in this war, he wanted to test his mettle as he fought the lower-ranked fighters of the Abyssal Lord's army, while Queen Rhiannon kept their Leader at bay.
"Just promise me that you will go back alive, okay?" Henrietta spoke after a few minutes of silence. "Iris will be very sad if you die here."
"How about you?" Lux asked in a teasing tone. "Are you going to be sad if I die here as well?"
"Yes," Henrietta replied. "I will be sad. So don't die."
Lux nodded and smiled at the purple-haired beauty, who was looking at him with determination. "Understood. I won't die. All of you will be leaving tonight, so talk to the others who want to return as well.
"Queen Rhiannon had sent her subordinates to fetch the Six Rankers that she had bestowed to the Satyrs a few days ago. Right now, those girls are being purified, removing all traces of the Satyrs that had been left inside their bodies. Some of their memories were also altered, preventing them from experiencing any trauma when they returned to their respective kingdoms."
Alicia and Henrietta sighed in relief because. Lux might have tried to sugarcoat his words, but as women, they understood what he was trying to say.
The essence of Satyrs were very potent, and if they did it once with a woman, they were guaranteed to get pregnant.
Knowing that these girls wouldn't have to suffer any hardships in their return put their minds at ease.
Lux then bid goodbye to the two ladies who had almost lost their chastity to him if he didn't manage to resist Queen Rhiannon's petty tricks.
Henrietta watched him go with a sad expression on her face.
When she was under Queen Rhiannon's Charm Spell, she was unable to take control of her body. Even so, she was very aware of her surroundings.
She remembered everything that she had done to Lux, which made it hard for her to look at him straight in the face.
"If I only met you sooner," Henrietta muttered.
Alicia, who stood beside Henrietta, hugged the young lady and patted her head. She didn't know what would happen in the future, but she believed that the hurt that the young lady was feeling in her heart would be healed if given enough time.
