Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix

His hands became claws, grasping and ripping off the queen's lower mandible, her teeth and insides, while his feet swiped at the soft flesh below her mouth, completely dissecting her ability to bite her prey or project its destructive energy.

"Good, very good!" Read new chapters at mvl

The queen became panicked, the beam in her mouth dissipating, while she suffered from the black flames melting her body; she slammed herself into the water and tried to smother the flames.

"Looks like you want to play, then... Helliana." He turned his eyes towards the massive ball of fire.

"ASURA!" Helliana's focused eyes filled with worry as she unleashed a beam of crimson and white flames into the queen's mouth.

The crimson ray flowed from her palm like a heavenly serpent, slipping through the air and melting all within its path until it suddenly descended like a meteor through the queen's mouth.

"Enjoy your meal, M'Lady."

Asura leapt from the queen's mouth and teleported next to Helliana. The flames extinguished with the final flutter of his wings.

His arm wrapped around her waist as he leaned against her, unable to move well due to using the pure phoenix flames without taking the correct form. Her body protected him as she hugged him tightly. "You foolish show-off."

"Hahaha." Asura laughed bitterly. "Help me find a new suit, will you?"

Helliana pressed her head against his neck, her hot breath on his skin as her ears perked up to listen to both his hearts beating, watching the queen burn away.

The sight of her massive body expanding while the flames continued to flood her body, causing her to float into the air like a log of wood while fire flickered through her body.

"But maybe the naked look might look good on you?"

"Hmm." Asura snorted gently and rubbed her ass. "Don't be perverted; it's cold, and there are over two thousand women down there. What if they fall for my handsome face and perfect body?"

Helliana just slapped his back, turning away with a pout, "Heh, narcissistic man, god play with your two thousand women!"

"Ouch, you've turned violent." Asura lifted his hand and grabbed her from behind, pulling her close. "Your husband might die if he falls from this height."

"Heh." Helliana giggled mischievously. "Maybe I should tell the Ladies about such a wonderful toy."

"Stop joking."

"Who said I was joking?"

"Alright, alright, I will be good." Asura didn't expect his former wife to be so playful in front of so many people. However, he didn't mind that much. Instead, he took a deep breath, watching the flashing light from the cannons shooting at the surviving phantoms.

"It seems we should have enough food for the next few days with all this crab meat."

"True, their meat is supposed to be great for beauty and a man's strength at night."

"What strength is that?"

Asura and Helliana, like from a different world, slowly floated back to the main ship, her hand grasping his crotch with a smirk. The new Helliana was not as submissive and gentle but more honest and forward, which made Asura crazy about her.

"The amount of shots this cannon can fire in a single engagement, fufu."

Asura's lips curled into a crooked smirk. He then gave her a doubtful look with narrow eyes and lifted brows. "You want to use that?"

"Won't I be more satisfied if you perform well?"

Asura raised his hand, tapping her arrogant nose that lifted slightly when she spoke. "Then I'll have to see if you can endure a night without them, too."

With those words, he wrapped his hand around her plump buttocks and gave it a pinch before the pair teleported from vision back into the main room, where he found many hungry wolves waiting.

Lorem, Lucia, Xavida, Mu Xue, Verena and Valerie were in the room frying crab meat on the large oven stove with a wok.

"Oh? Asura is back."

"Why is he naked?"

"He probably did something stupid." Mu Xue added, looking at him. with sharp eyes.

Then, like a horror play, all the women looked at him with the same sharp eyes and wicked smile.

"Stay back, you hungry wolves!"

After returning to the main room, the group sat in silence for a moment. "That was a good fight; I had so much fun!" Xavida, who ate a crab meat kebab, beamed, her eyes looking at Asura, who sat at the chief seat, still in his birthday suit, after being captured by Lorem and Lucia's many shadow clones.

"Is this not the time to discuss how to leave?" Asura asked while he ate from the skewer that Helliana offered him. Her eyes seemed to shine with delight when he ate from her hand, a strange change in her after being reborn.

"Right, so let's decide on the best path," Lorem spoke with a satisfied smile, her cheeks full of meat. She then tapped the buttons on the ship's table, which created a magical diagram of the ocean and distance from their target. "We can land here, exactly where the orcs are currently holding out, or aim for the Utgard port to the northeast of the fort."

"Won't the captain decide?" Mu Xue asked, but Vela, who seemed to enjoy the spiced wine that Valerie prepared, hit her table with her fist.

"No, the captain said I must decide."

"Val, wine! I will drink as well!" Lorem's voice joined the table, her slender finger tapping on the glass cup that Mu Xue held for her. "The question is, where should we go if we make a wrong choice? There's close to three thousand people's lives on the line, and that's if another phantom doesn't appear from all the disturbance from tonight."

"Hmmm, you think another one will show up?" Xavida asked, leaning back in her chair while her eyes narrowed as she stared at the projection on the table.

"I have a gut feeling that if we don't hurry, then another might attack because of the amount of magic used—just like surface monsters, phantoms love to devour other beings with high amounts of mana in their bodies," Verana spoke while sliding through some digital logs.

"Won't the fluctuation have lessened by now that most people on the ships are asleep?" Lorem asked with a pondering look.

"Probably not." Xavida smiled while raising her cup to take a sip. "Darlings, flames are still burning on the surface of the water to our north."

"So his flames are like a beacon guiding them to him. Should we just toss him into the water on a rope?" Helliana added while her hand slipped along his thigh, squeezing them with her delicate fingertips, inching closer to his crotch. "I bet we could fish more delicious meat this way."

Asura looked at Helliana with a stiff smile and then lifted his leg to kick her hand. "Keep dreaming, woman." Only for his movements to let them slip between his thighs, as if she planned this reaction, now grasping his vulnerable spot with her entire hand.

"Ahem." Lorem coughed, looking at the two with narrow eyes, able to see what she was doing, but didn't comment. Helliana was her best friend, after all, so she would rather wait and get the benefits with her. "Just pick a direction, Val. We will vote on it."

"This... This is the flag." Valerie nodded quickly while lifting the two flags.

"We will have a vote. Mu, pass these two flags."

Mu Xue smiled bitterly. "Are you trying to get me killed?"

"Nothing will happen," Lucia assured, putting her hands on Mu Xue's shoulders and pushing her forward.

"Okay! Everyone who wants to head to Utgard, please raise your hands!"

With that, almost everyone raised their hands, except Helliana, who instead enjoyed the warm feeling of Asura's exposed body, her eyes narrowing into slits as she let out a hot sigh and whispered, "Thousands of years, and finally, I can touch you and feel it..."

"Then the votes are enough; we'll tell the captain to head to Utgard first, then we will help Maria Svesta or whatever her name is to resist the orc side. Then head to the east and crush them." Verana added, while Mu Xue seemed to be drunk from the wine and flopped back onto the sofa sitting beside Asura.

"It feels good, hehe, soft, good!" Mu Xue's giggles spread to the other's ears as she closed, and her cheeks turned red.

"Mu-Mu, how much did you drink?" Xavida tilted her head while sipping more of the spiced wine.

"Lots, lots! Hic."

"One cup..." Lorem muttered with a snicker.

Asura stood up, scooping Mu Xue up into his arms and then walked towards her room. "I'll bring her back; you guys can talk amongst yourselves."

"Ah.... he's erect!"

"Oh!"

"Wooo!"

"Is he going to take advantage of her?" Lucia's many shadows asked different questions related to erotic things.

It seemed he forgot that as a punishment for his stupid idea—he turned himself into a bomb. So the ladies made him sit naked on the sofa while eating. However, the girls' laughter followed him and Mu Xue until they entered her room.

"Hmmm, Asura's dick is bigger than before!" Mu Xue giggled like an excited little girl.

"What!?" Her words sounded more vulgar than usual, causing Asura to become shocked, but then he saw the room. Women thousands of years old, some a few decades of course, the women would influence each other.

"Hmm, are you not going to sleep with me?" Mu Xue leaned forward, rubbing her face against his neck.

"Not tonight." Asura snorted and tossed her onto the bed.

"Ehehehe." Mu Xue giggled before rolling to her side and then to her other side; a smile curled on her lips, and her eyes closed. "Hmmm, I smell Asura everywhere."

"What did you do!?" Asura looked at the bed. It was filled with his clothing and items, from used boxers to his shirts and training towels, and his smell permeated the sheets.

"You witch." He sighed.

'Come to think of it, she stopped me from entering her room after we started dating... is this the other side of Mu Xue?'

"Ehehe, I love you. Hmmm, come to bed!" Mu Xue stretched out her hand.

Asura let out a tired sigh before he saw a pillow with him on the case... So he tossed it at her, watching her hug and grind against it with a delighted voice before walking out the door. "Let's forget those scenes. For her honour."

After locking the door, he headed to his room but found Helliana standing outside with Lorem. "What do you want?"

"Hmmm, a place to stay for the night and a little chat?" Helliana replied, her eyes peering at him innocently.
