Chapter 32: Cost of Mercy and Foolishness ​

After a few minutes, Zira woke up, her eyes a bit hazy. She glanced around, seeing an unfamiliar room. Looking down, she saw herself lying on a bed.

“W-Where am I?” her voice echoed, a bit anxious. After all, the last thing she remembered was a strange feline creature walking towards her.

“Well, guess who woke up?”

Just as she was about to get up, a playful voice entered her ears. She snapped her head towards the entrance. A man was leaning on the doorframe, looking at her with a small smirk.

“You! What did you do to me?” she spat in anger. Although she could feel her strength and powers returning…she dared not use them against this man.

“Nothing, you work for me now, or in simple words, you’re my slave now” Rahu chuckled and stepped towards.

“S-Slave!? Me! Y-you bastard, I even showed you mercy, and you repay me like this!?”

A fool, she had been a fool to trust this handsome demon.

“Exactly. You were foolish enough to show mercy to your enemies; that’s why you ended up in a situation like this,” Rahu smirked, his words cutting deeper than any blade.

“But, count yourself lucky for your actions. Otherwise, your head would be feast for the beasts”

Zira’s eyes widened, and she clenched her teeth. She felt conflicted between her foolishness and mercy. But in the end, both had saved her life. If she had dared to raise her weapons, Rahu would have stewed her right there.

“W-Why me?” No matter how much despair she felt, she refused to show it on her face. What’s done is done, she’ll face whatever consequences have befallen her.

“Well, for starters, you’re sexy, strong and a bit foolish. Those are the main traits I like, and secondly, I wanted an ally and a maid”

Rahu replied, staring her into her eyes. As he told her she was beautiful, she had deep violet hair tied into a high, loose ponytail.

She had bright, shimmering golden eyes and smooth, pale skin with a natural glow.

And mainly, she had toned and thick thighs under her stockings.

Her expression turned into a disastrous cycle—first came shock, then a blush crept up her cheeks only for her eyes to twitch in anger and finally pure murderous intent.​

“Hahaha, you should’ve seen your face!”

He couldn’t control his laughter. It was adorable.

“S-Shut up, the sect will definitely punish you, not to mention senior brother Moyan!” she hissed, still hoping for a miracle.

“Sect? Heh, good luck with that. And as for your senior brother, well, my girlfriend’s a core disciple too, you know? And although I don’t want to admit it, that old hag is crazy strong”

Hearing this, she paled. She couldn’t understand the sect part, but based on his confident tone, he definitely must have some higher connections there, so she just gritted her teeth and nodded. Her eyes lowered slightly.

“Alright enough, listen up, you have your first mission from your master. A week from now, I want you to go to the northern territory of the continent, specifically, House Crimson territory and acquire some information”

Zira widened her eyes and listened attentively,

“Find the businesses and trades of a man named Mo’rath, and before you ask, yes, he is one of the Elders of House Crimson, but don’t interfere with anything there yet. And second, find the assassin bases that attacked us the other day, and just wait till I get there”

Zira nodded, it wasn’t as risky or life-threatening as she thought it to be, with her capabilities and strength, she could easily acquire some information, but,​

“Why in a week?” She asked confusingly, but she soon got the answer.

“Why? Of course, to fuck you!” Rahu grinned, malevolence and lasciviousness oozing from his expression.

“Wha-!? You bastard!!!”

…

At night,​

Rahu sat crossed-legged in the training yard, a high-grade Mana crystal pulsing deep violet with golden streaks, radiating immense energy.

Rahu closed his eyes and willed his [Dimensional Core], and it didn’t disappoint him. A strong suction force was generated from Rahu’s body, or more specifically, his core.

“vwwm…”

“fwooom…”

The [Mana] from the high-grade Mana crystal was being absorbed at a rapid pace. Time passed quickly. Even with the suction force of the core, the high-level Mana crystal was still being drained. Even after two continuous hours, the absorption didn’t stop.

He even took out those high-grade Mana pills and consumed them.

Finally, after five full hours,

BOOM!

Rahu broke through!

He reached the 9th stage of the Body Structuring Realm! This time, his cultivation truly reached the peak. His body was slightly trembling from the energy overcharge.

Fortunately, he had his [Dimensional Core], which transformed that raw mana into pure dimensional energy.

His body slowly adjusted and changed; a heavy pressure radiated from his body, which no Body Structuring Realm should produce.

He could, officially, call himself the strongest Body Structuring Realm cultivator in history!

His previous raw force, which was equivalent to a second-stage Vital Core Realm cultivator, rose to the 5th stage of Vital Core Realm! Meaning his raw force was now around 32,000 – 36,000 kgf!

A monstrous leap, now he could contend with Vivianne on one without being one-sidedly overwhelmed.

“…Still not enough.”

Rahu muttered, if he wanted to slaughter those assassins, this much strength was still not enough.

“Well, I’ll get there eventually. I have a feeling my next breakthrough won’t be simple”

He thought while contemplating, then shrugged, whatever it was. He was going to surpass it. And by now maximum of the sect knew his name and deeds.

It was time he paid a visit to the Essence Cauldron peak and learned a bit of alchemy! This path was truly magnificent. The raw mana he directly absorbed wasn’t refined enough.​

It was evident when he had consumed those High-grade Mana pills—the refinement and assimilation went easily and smoothly.

“Rahu”

A sweet voice echoed through the training grounds. Turning, he saw Vivianne walk over to him. She was in her nightdress, her large breasts were jiggling in defiance of physics.

Standing in front of him, she hugged his waist, burying her head into his chest. He, too, didn’t refuse and wrapped his arms around her, of course not forgetting to give her ass a tight squeeze.

“Well, well, someone’s really thirsty here. How about we continue this in our room?” He whispered in a playful tone with a smile on his face. Her face heated up, and he picked her up with his arms and hauled her on his shoulder.

“Rascal!”

Soon, loud gasps and moans echoed throughout the mansion.
