Chapter 614 Before The Storm (1/2)

Four days, that"s how long lasted the great love session of Lucien and his Maid Harem. For them, it was so good that it felt like a few hours of fun, but for the group that was training for the compet.i.tion, it felt like a whole month.

As Lucien"s wives missed him so much after their long time apart, he had to make up for them with a lot of individual time, and so he didn"t rest during those four days.

By the end of the last day, all the girls had been satisfied, but the first ones that got his attention were already wanting more love. Lucien feels like they"re insatiable, but so is he because even after four days of s.e.x, he"s still hard and h.o.r.n.y.

Please them pleases him, and it makes everyone stronger, so he would have no problem keeping it up until everyone reached the peak of the power in the universe. But there are more people who require his attention out of his bed.

Before turning his focus to his other sisters, the Mermaids, and the Phoenix, he goes help Mira, Angela, and their daughters with their training. That"s also an opportunity to improve his relations.h.i.+p with Wrath.

As more days go by, Lucien has to pay attention to his other girls again, and after ten days without sleep, he leaves the purple world for a break. His body seems totally fine due to the constant reinvigoration of his energies, but his mind needs a rest.ReadNovelFull.com

In the purple world, ten days have pa.s.sed, but in the normal world, it still hasn"t reached the third day after he left the s.h.i.+p. Yet, he is greeted with bright smiles and expectant looks by his sisters, the Sins, and the newest members of the group on the Sea Devil.

"Brother!!!" Claire exclaims as she jumps into Lucien"s arms and starts kissing his cheek. "Why did you take so long to return?!?"

"..." Lucien isn"t the only one who is surprised by Claire"s unexpected way of acting. Eve, Saria, and the other girls look at them with shocked expressions.

But Naomi has an upset look on her face as she gazes at Claire and keeps her thoughts just between her and Gluttony. "This little brat!!"

"Greed must be encouraging her to act like this..." Gluttony comments in Naomi"s mind with an upset tone. "They made the first move, but you can still turn this game in our favor."

Naomi doesn"t think twice before walking towards Lucien. "Brother... you look a little tired..."

Claire hears the sounds of Naomi"s movements but can"t do anything before her sister pulls her out of Lucien"s arms. "Let our brother breathe a little, you stupid selfish brat!!"

Lucien laughs as Claire struggles to get back into his arms, so he acts quickly and hugs Naomi from behind before kissing her cheek. "I missed you too, sister."

Naomi blushes like a tomato as she accepts Lucien"s hug and delights in Claire"s jealous expression. "Brother..."

"Okay, okay; now let go of him!" Eve"s voice sounds as resolute and authoritative as ever, making the sisters feel an instinctive desire to obey.

He smiles at her as he walks closer to her, not hugging her but sitting on the sofa in the center of the deck. "Big sis..."

"Luci…" Eve speaks to him in an affectionate tone as she strokes his shoulder gently.

Lucien places his hand over Eve"s as he settles down on the sofa. He would like to just relax a bit, but it doesn"t seem possible due to the way the girls look at him with expectant expressions.

He can also feel how h.o.r.n.y Valencia is, as well as the Naga and the Mermaid girls who took his message to Nea. He promised that he would reward them, so they are patiently waiting.

"How"s the girls" training going?" Saria approaches Lucien and asks. She wants to start a conversation with him, but she doesn"t want to seem only interested in him.

"Good, good;" He smiles at her. "What about you? I mean, have you been training with your team?"

"Ehhh..." Saria makes a sorry expression as she doesn"t want to be rude to him. But the truth is, Nea is sure that they can beat Lucien"s wives without any additional training.

Nea thinks that way not only because of her incredible power but also the individual strength of Saria and the three other Mermaids she selected for the fight.

Another important point is the fact that Mermaids usually train a lot because as they are a smaller race compared to the Nagas, they have to always be ready to fight and survive.

Lucien realizes that Saira doesn"t want to lie but also doesn"t want to look too confident. He can"t deny that he likes her honest and kind personality more and more; in fact, except for Nea, all the Mermaids look like adorable girls.

"It"s fine; you don"t have to tell me about your training; after all, our groups will compete against each other." He smiles at her.

"Thank you." She also smiles at him, but then her expression turns sorry again. "I"m sure that in another situation, our groups could be allies."

"Mermaids and Demons??" Maya asks as she descends from the sky, landing on the deck. Despite being able to fly with her Immortal Realm energy, she likes to materialize fire wings on her back while doing it, which makes her look amazing.

Lucien also thinks she is very kind, though she tries hard to appear ruder, presumably so as not to feel as fragile as she actually is.

Before he can greet her, Maya shakes her head. "I"ve met more races than you can imagine, and of them all, the Mermaids are among the kindest beings in this universe, while the Demons are almost the evilest."

"Almost??" Pride materializes her body and looks at Maya with a mocking expression. "Are you sure about that, old bird??"

Even under Pride"s dominant aura, Maya stands her ground and faces the arrogant Sin with a firm look. "Any sensible person knows not to trust demons and their misleading contracts; such creatures are only interested in using others and stealing their souls."

"Oh, really?" Gluttony stands next to Pride and looks at Maya with a mocking expression too.

Maya rolls her eyes. "Yet, you cannot be the worst as long as there is a race that destroyed almost their whole people to turn the bloodline of a few ones purer and now destroys and enslaves entire races to get stronger..."

"The G.o.ds..." Pride comments as she smiles provocatively at Maya. "I almost forgot you have an old grudge against them."

"An old grudge?!?!" Everyone is surprised when Maya loses her calm and exclaims angrily. She usually looks pretty serene, but even her kindness has limits.

Lucien can"t really understand how Maya feels as she saw her entire race be destroyed and mysteriously is the only one who survived, but he can see it still affects her; how could it not be so after all?

"Let"s calm down; we are not enemies." He gets up to stand between Pride and Maya. He doesn"t particularly empathize with the Phoenix and still has a lot to settle with Pride before he forgives her, but a conflict between them could make it difficult for him to save his sisters.

"Idiot demons talk a lot of s.h.i.+t..." Maya exclaims, still upset. But Lucien can see the sadness in her eyes. "They talk about things they don"t know!"

Despite having an unwavering determination to do anything to save his family, especially his sisters, Maya"s case moves Lucien"s heart. She has suffered a lot, but instead of helping, he is trying to trick her into stealing her magic core.

[Maybe it will end her suffering...] He tries to believe that somehow doing that could be beneficial for her, but then he shakes his head, denying it to himself. [Who am I trying to fool? I"m a demon after all...]

Lucien"s expression catches Maya"s attention; no matter how much she tries to see him as a demon, he still looks a lot like the Sins, but mysteriously, he also looks so different from them.

"I"m well acquainted with how provocative the Sins can be..." He talks to Maya. "But you can"t come on our s.h.i.+p and provoke them because of that."

Pride can"t help but smile watching Lucien defend her; she actually doesn"t like others to speak for her, but for some reason, she thinks he would never say something she doesn"t agree with in a situation like that.

Maya sighs as her face goes back to calm and her eyes stop burning like living flames. "I didn"t come here to provoke anyone... I just don"t like seeing demons trying to trick such kind creatures."

"You can"t tell if we"re really trying to trick them; I mean, you"re not a clairvoyant or something, right?" Lucien asks in a sarcastic tone.

She keeps a neutral expression. "I certainly don"t have such abilities, but I"ve seen this scenario dozens of times, and always, absolutely always, demons end up being the biggest beneficiary while other races lose something valuable."

Saria makes a concerned expression as she looks at Lucien. She really wants to believe him, but thousands of years of history are proof that demons are extremely dangerous and treacherous.

Lucien notices Saria"s gaze and gently smiles at her before responding to Maya. "No one will lose anything here; we can only gain from this cooperation, and even if I am the biggest beneficiary in the end, any benefit to the Mermaids is better than no benefit."

Maya is about to respond, but then Pride speaks first. "Anyway, you have nothing to do with the possible alliance between the Mermaids and us, old bird."

"..." Maya looks at Pride with a hostile expression again. She is determined to protect the Mermaids, but she knows that arguing with Lucien and the Sins isn"t going to help now, so she doesn"t respond to that provocation.

Instead of talking to them, she looks at Saria. "I came here because your mother requires your presence by her side."

"Oh!" Saria seems even more concerned now; she looks to the west, where dark clouds appear on the distant horizon. "Did they come back?? Does she know what"s going on???"

"She..." Maya almost says something, but then she looks at the Sins with a thoughtful expression before speaking to Saria again. "We"d better talk about that with your mother in private."

Saria doesn"t seem to agree with that, and Lucien is confused about what"s going on. But then he hears l.u.s.t"s voice concerned in his mind. "There"s something strange about those clouds... it doesn"t look like a regular storm."

He gets immediately worried. "Could it be..."

"The Leviathan?" l.u.s.t quickly asks and then continues. "I don"t know... I don"t feel that aura but something different... something dark..."

Lucien stops looking at the horizon when he feels Saria approaching him. She looks at him with a sorry expression. "Something"s happening, so I should..."

"I"ll go with you." He quickly speaks in a determined tone.

Saria knows her mother might be upset with him getting involved in their affairs, but for some reason, Saria feels a lot better knowing Lucien will be with her. It"s like an intuitive feeling that he would do anything to protect her, which makes her feel safe.

"This has nothing to do with you." Maya quickly comments.

"How not??" Eve finally speaks, and her tone and posture are the same as Pride"s. "Until this compet.i.tion end, our groups are together, and that clearly affects us too."

Maya sighs. "Alright… come with us then."

Saria smiles at Lucien, and he smiles back at her as he holds her hand.

Maya flies towards the giant magic turtle, followed by Lucien and Saria. Eve also flies with them after telling the others to wait on the s.h.i.+p.

On the horizon, the clouds seem to move quickly, making it clear to everyone that a big storm is coming, but what they don"t know is that it"s going to be one of the biggest storms ever.
