"The thing that worries me a bit is how the Xynnar War Pact will react to this news," Alexander said. "As you all already know, our area of operations is within their territories. There might be idiots who will jump at this opportunity and make things difficult for our factions."
"I don't see any problem with this," Maximilian replied as he cleaned his right ear with his middle finger. "We have three Saints on our side. We can always destroy a city or two to remind them who they are dealing with."
Vera and Alexander sighed after hearing Maximilian's words. The Saint of the Rowan Tribe had always resorted to using strength and violence to intimidate those who dared to try harming his people.
This was why he could move unhindered within the Six Kingdoms, making them all grant safe passage to their Nomadic Tribe, which migrated on a seasonal basis.
"Violence is not always the answer, Maximilian," Vera replied.
"But it works," Maximilian countered. "Although the Divine Army uses coercion to make other Kingdoms and Empires submit to them, their way of doing things is no different from the way I do things. Since that is the case, let's just destroy stuff so that people won't have the wrong idea."
"Un!" Eiko, who was perched on top of Lux's head, liked Maximilian's idea and agreed heartfully. "Make their cities go boom!"
"See?" Maximilian chuckled as he looked at the feisty Baby Slime who would not hesitate to use a tactical nuke to protect her Papa and Mama. "Eiko knows what she's talking about."
"Very well." Alexander agreed. "But we'll only do that as a last resort. As long as we act discreetly and do not harm the innocent, I am fine with this plan."
Vera also reluctantly nodded her head. She thought that she had lost Lux when the Spear of Longinus had bypassed her defenses. At that moment, the only thing on her mind was to kill people.
If the same thing happened again then she was certain that she would personally wage war against the DIvine Army of Light and destroy their cities, one city at a time.
"Now, let's talk about other things," Maximilian grinned. "Boy, what are your plans about the last Gate of the Apocalypse? You're not planning to go there, right?"
Lux shook his head firmly. "I won't be going there at this time. After I go to the Crystal Palace, I intend to go to Agartha."
"Agartha?" Alexander arched an eyebrow. "Are you talking about that Legendary Kingdom that is deep underground and located near the Core of Elysium?"
"Yes, Father," Lux replied. "I plan to go to that place."
"Interesting." Alexander narrowed his gaze. "Do you have a way to get there?"
Lux nodded. "I received a key from the Sacred Dungeon when I cleared it. It will allow me to instantly travel to that place, similar to how I traveled to Karshvar Draconis in the past."
"You sure have a lot of good stuff with you," Maximilian commented. He didn't even bother to hide the envy in his voice because he was someone who liked to travel.
If only he could go to the Dragon Kingdom, as well as the City that was said to have existed when the world was created, then he would truly be able to call himself someone that had traveled to the most exotic places in Elysium.
The small talk continued for thirty more minutes before everyone decided that it was time to rest.
The three Saints had also agreed on the countermeasures that they thought of making when the news of Lux being hunted by the Divine Army reached their territories. Just like Alexander had said, Maximilian's plan was a last resort.
The first thing that they planned to do was introduce Vera to the Xynnar War Pact, allowing them to know that they had another Saint on their side.
If that deterrence didn't work, they would just go with Maximilian's plan and attack the Royal Palace of the first Kingdom that decided to jump on the Divine Army's bandwagon. If they set an example, the other rulers would think twice before angering them, which would be detrimental to their rule.
Lux, Iris, and Cai went to the blue-haired beauty's residence because this was where they would always go whenever they were in Barbatos Academy.
The first thing they did was have a bath together. Since Eiko and Fei Fei were with them, Lux controlled himself to the best of his abilities.
However, the Half-Elf could not stop his eyes from wandering to Iris' and Cai's thighs, making his body heat up and his breathing to grow ragged.
In the end, he decided to leave first because he felt that if he stayed longer, he might lose control and bury his face in those heavenly thighs that seemed to cloud his judgment.
Iris and Cai also noticed Lux's strange behavior and wondered if he was simply too tired from the things he experienced before he returned to Barbatos Academy.
"What's wrong?" Iris asked as she wrapped her arms around Lux's head, burying his face between her well-shaped breasts. "Are you tired?"
"No," Lux replied as he returned Iris' hug, enjoying the softness of her breast, and the fragrant smell of her body after she finished bathing.
Iris smiled then lightly patted Lux's head as if to assure him that everything was fine.
A moment later, the door of the room opened, and Cai arrived wearing a one-piece white night dress that highlighted the color of her sun-kissed skin.
"Eiko and Fei Fei are now asleep in the other room," Cai reported as she sat beside Lux, who was currently being hugged by Iris. "Good thing both of them were tired, so they quickly fell asleep after having a bath."
"Good," Iris replied before pulling back, and cupping Lux's face. She then kissed the Half-Elf's lips and kissed him some more.
A moment later, Lux found himself lying on the bed, with the two beautiful ladies servicing his manhood.
Right in front of his face were Cai's thighs, which made him gulp subconsciously.
As if his hands had a mind of their own, they moved to hold onto Cai's waist as he pulled her closer to him. Although this wasn't the first time that they had done it in this position, he was unable to stay composed as his weakness was laid bare in front of him.
Suddenly, a cute moan escaped the High-Priestess' lips as Lux started kissing her thigh, sending a shiver running down her spine.
The Half-Elf's willpower wavered and went on the offensive.
This made his second fiance bite her lips in an attempt to stifle the moans of pleasure that were on the verge of escaping.
As if wanting to hear the cute sounds that only she could make, the Half-Elf decided to increase his pace, using his tongue and lips to tease the beautiful pink petals that were right in front of his face.
Soon, Cai was no longer able to endure, and her moans of pleasure echoed inside the room.
This fanned the flames of desire inside Lux's chest and made him more determined to eat up his second Fiance, whose seductive voice was starting to drive him crazy.
