NTR: I became a noble?

Once again, Lisa was going to be coming to his room today. Rae was headed to his room after the meeting with Harry. Ian had few things that he wanted to check on with Lisa.

...

'Should I go to him? Again???' Lisa was engrossed in her thoughts as she was strolling around in nervousness.

She had begin to feel that she was starting to like it. She was beginning to like whatever Rae and she had going on in between them.

Hesitant, but Lisa decided to leave her room after she checked and made sure that her son was asleep. She had decided to visit Rae yet again, while dressed in a skimpy nightgown which looked similar to a sexy lingerie.

"It's me, Sir Rae." Lisa knocked on the door outside his room.

"You are here already? Come in." Rae pulled her inside his room. He had been waiting for Lisa for a while. After the time he spent with Harry, he had once again gained interest towards her.

"You have dressed pretty well for the occasion. I like how much skin it shows." Rae checked out Lisa blatantly and complimented as he touched the fabric of her dress.

"I just wore my normal night clothes. It's nothing special." Lisa replied trying to hide her enthusiasm to him, with nervousness and anticipation evident in her eyes.

...

Unaware of what his daughter in law was putting up with, Ekaros was busy taking care of his covert business.

"This is a lot harder than the last time I had made use of it." He mumbled with exhaustion

He had a bloody red stone near his chest which glowed and illuminated the secret abode in which he was hiding.

This was the mysterious artifact that caused the exponential increase in his strength, the secret behind his rank up to level three before the fight with Terias.

He could vividly recall the scene from nine years ago when he had found the stone like artifact in the stomach of a demon beast. He knew that the artifact was of immense value and kept it to himself, and hid the use of the stone from everyone.

The procedure to use the artifact was to allow it to soak into the blood of demon beast, at least that is what he knew before he accidentally put it close to a dying man. Experience tales at mvl

The man was instantly reaped of his life, but the artifact emitted a bloody glow like never before.

At the moment, Ekaros had gained a certain level of understanding of the artifact. He knew that the human as a sacrifice to the artifact worked best to charge it up for use.

But what did the artifact do? Well, it speeded up the process of accumulation of Ki in the body, almost ten times the amount that Ekaros could normally store but that was not it.

The stone also transferred the user with the blood it soaked from the sacrifices which strengthened the physique and added to the Ki reserves.

Ekaros was willing to bear with the pain to let go of the mediocre talent of his.

"Just one more day then I would be able to reach the peak of level three."

Ekaros knew that he could not beat Rae but that was not the end of his plan. The increase in his strength when used to ambush Rae would result in his favor.

Also, he was not sure about the gain in strength he would have, after he is done with using the artifact. He could sense it from the speed it was progressing, that he would reach the peak of level three at the very least.

His plan had many variables but he was sure that something would work out.

Worst case scenario and he would have to use his cursed bloodline, Corruption!! The reason why Earl Ian was hell bent on bringing down his family.

...

Yes!! Ekaros was also blessed with a bloodline ability. The bloodline ability with which his forefathers established his noble family, and the bloodline ability which terrorised Ian's family.

Different from Terias, who did not show any signs of awakening the bloodline ability, Ekaros was able to awaken it very early in his twenties.

That was also the reason why he never feared Terias even after he defeated his siblings and became the Viscount without any trouble.

However, it took time, a great amount of time. His bloodline ability Corruption was not for these peaceful times. Unlike his forefathers who fought various battles and secured themselves their place, he could not just wage a war.

Unfortunately, his corruption ability was pretty useless outside of the war like scenarios. Even the trigger which awakened his ability was blood.

As long as he killed a human, his corruption ability worked to tap into his potential and boost his strength. But that was not it, like the various top tier bloodline abilities, his ability also offered regenerative powers.

This meant that he could fight and keep on fighting, and his strength would keep growing. Not just his physical strength but also his reserves of Ki.

The awakening of his bloodline ability was one of the major reasons why he opted for training the warriors of his family.

In this way, he could train as well as take control of all the capable warriors under the Viscount's flag.

Unfortunately, Terias was not someone Ekaros could defeat. Even without any bloodline ability, Terias actually crowned himself as the Viscount with his absolute strength.

Ekaros tried but he could not exceed Terias in rank, and the lack of life and death battle in his life caused his bloodline ability to be pretty much useless.

Unlike the artifact, which he happened to coincidentally acquire almost a decade ago, his corruption ability only worked while battling humans.

For instance, Ekaros confronted Mathew and revealed the plan to kill and frame him to gain some extra time from Rae. This confrontation had made Mathew furious and scared at the same time.

Mathew struggled really hard and managed to wound Ekaros before being killed.

Sadly, Matthew's effort went to trash because Ekaros instantly recovered due to his bloodline ability Corruption, and also gained valuable resources for his artifact.
