Don't mind me... just crying at the end of Attack on Titan. Like fuck. It's over. We're free.
Anything you recognise isn't mine.
Roxas raised Clarent Galatine to block Akame's Demonic Sword Murasame and Xenovia's Holy Sword Durandal at the same time, allowing them to push against him for a couple of seconds. As he saw Kiba and Saeko (who wielded a regular-looking katana) coming at him from near-opposite directions, he pushed back against Xenovia and Akame, delivered a kick to Akame's midsection in order to send her flying backwards, and used his free hand to fire a bolt of Twilight energy at Xenovia in order to force her to disengage, and put some distance between her and him.
Looking to his left, as Kiba was closer, Roxas leant back to dodge his initial sword-slash, swung back with his sword to clash with Kiba's second slash, and swung around in the same motion to clash with Saeko. He fully turned around to face her at this point and calmly walked forward, easily overpowering the third-year student and forcing her further and further back. When Saeko was forced to disengage from the clash, Roxas took the chance offered by the half-a-second opening and jabbed Saeko full in the face with a free fist, sending her flying backwards to the ground, the katana she held now slipping from her hand.
Turning around and noticing Kiba, Xenovia and Akame now coming at him all at once, Roxas swung his free hand and sent a wave of Twilight energy at the three Knights, all of whom managed to dodge the wave in their own way: Kiba slid underneath the wave, Akame jumped over it and landed in a roll, and Xenovia raised Durandal and swung it down to cut through the wave, even if that slowed her down a little and rendered her the furthest-back of the three Knights that were still in the fight.
Roxas and the four Knights (Kiba, Xenovia, Akame and Saeko) had been down in the time-dilated training chamber for nearly a day, constantly sparring in order to bring the skills and powers of a certain new member of his aunt's peerage up to snuff with the rest of the group. The five of them had been at it for eight in-room hours (so about fifteen minutes outside), and though Saeko was still way below Kiba, Xenovia and Akame in terms of skill even after the training, and LEAGUES UPON LEAGUES below Roxas in terms of skill, the silver-haired Nephalem was still impressed with Rias' new purple-haired Knight.
As Kiba was the closest to Roxas, Roxas went for him first: swinging Clarent Galatine down at Kiba, who swung his Sword of Betrayer at Roxas' lower chest. The two blades impacted each other with such force and power that the sword, created by Kiba's Balance Breaker, shattered in the blond's hands. The impact of Roxas' rebuttal of Kiba's attack had the effect of almost breaking Kiba's hands, considering how he jumped backwards and held his hands up, letting out a silent scream of pain. This left him wide open for Roxas to deliver a kick to his chest that sent him down to the ground.
Akame was next, as Roxas moved his sword over to her in the same motion that he used to fuck up Kiba's sword, and clashed with Murasame. As he did so, he lifted one hand off of Clarent Galatine and used it to create a shield that stopped Durandal, when Xenovia came and swung at him.
"Not bad, you four." Roxas remarked to the Knights he had sparred with. "But... still room for improvement." Xenovia was the next out of the quartet of Knights to go down, with Roxas sending out a dense pulse of Twilight energy from the shield he had created, which was powerful enough to blow Xenovia backwards, to the point that she almost stumbled. He then quickly dashed forward, grabbed the former Exorcist around the waist, lifted her up above his head and slammed her down onto the ground, with Xenovia unable to do anything but let out a small groan of pain.
With her down, he fully focused on Akame, pushing her backwards a couple of steps while continuing the clash between Clarent Galatine and Murasame. When it became clear that Akame wasn't going to yield this way, Roxas suddenly disengaged from the sword-clash, almost causing Akame to stumble just like Xenovia, at which point Roxas flipped Clarent Galatine around and jabbed Akame in the stomach with the butt-end of his sword, winding her and distracting her to the point that he was able to just headbutt her hard enough that she joined Kiba, Xenovia and Saeko on the ground.
"Alright." Roxas called to the four Knights. "A little break for now." He planted Clarent Galatine into the ground, stretched his body a little, before pulling it back out of the ground and pointing it at the closest Knight to him. "Kiba, you've definitely improved a lot, but the swords you create are fragile. Unacceptably so, if you're going to keep using the fighting style you are. Try and either reinforce the durability of your swords if your current style of swordfighting is what you're going for, or put more work into agility and dodging."
"Got it. Thank you for the advice." Kiba replied, bowing though the lingering pain in his hands. Roxas, noticing this, cast a quick spell over his hand that seemed to reduce the pain, as Kiba relaxed himself almost immediately after. Satisfied with his work, Roxas turned to Akame.
"I'm impressed with your speed and strength, but you're opportunistic." He remarked to the red-eyed Tengu. "Try and wait for openings from your opponent before striking and punishing as hard as possible. Get the poison that Murasame is enchanted with as deep into an opponent's system as possible, at least the first time."
"Understood." Akame replied, looking at her sword before returning it to its sheath, while shaking her head a little. "The first time is the most important, after all. It's what starts the weakening and opens them up to more hits."
"Precisely." Roxas replied. "But since you were never able to get that first hit in on me, you never had that chance. Granted, that's because 95% of sword-wielding enemies you'll fight in Rating Games, or anywhere really, aren't as good as I am, but the sentiment still stands."
Akame nodded, as Roxas turned to Xenovia. In the corner of his eye, he noticed Kiba summoning a large water-bottle out of a magic-circle and taking a swig out of it.
"Xenovia, your technique is still maddeningly sloppy and simple compared to how I'd usually fight with a BFS, let alone one as big as yours." The silverette remarked. "But... you seem to be able to make that style of fighting work for you, so in the context of a battle, I can't really critique you too much. Only thing I can really suggest is that you keep an eye on things at least a little bit beyond your sword. Not doing so will make you easy to surprise-attack. Got it?"
"Got it." Xenovia replied, getting up and stretching herself, before accepting Kiba's offer to take a swig of her own from the water-bottle, as Roxas turned to Saeko.
"Sorry about the hit there, Saeko, but I'm not just going to go easy on you because you're new." Roxas addressed the dirty purplette, holding out a hand for her to take, which she did as she got up. "Not in the physical department, that is. I CAN cut you some slack in the critique department because you're new to the whole 'being a member of probably the objectively best supernatural species for nearly two weeks' thing. How're you holding up with that, by the way?"
"Pretty good." Saeko replied, gingerly feelng her mouth and spitting out a couple of teeth that Roxas seemed to have knocked out with his punch. "Fighting at such speed, with the huge jump in all my physical aspects, is certainly taking some getting used to. And I'm still working on learning to fly with my wings." She unfurled her four Nephalem wings, before refurling them a couple of seconds later."
"Yeah, learning to fly can be tricky." Roxas replied. "Especially flying at speed, and flying during fights. Very tricky." He shrugged, looking over at Saeko and focusing a quick healing spell onto her mouth, which was noticeably bleeding from where her teeth had come out. The bleeding stopped a second or two later. "Though it's not something you have to prioritize. Especially not when transportation-circles exist and are probably the most common method of travel for... any supernatural being, really."
"Those do seem to be easier. At least for travelling long distances." Saeko replied, nodding. "And going to clients."
"Oh yeah, speaking of, how're you handling them?" Roxas asked. "No creeps, I hope."
"No." Saeko shook her head. "Just had two contracts, so far. One was helping out with cooking in a breakfast-café because one of the cooks was ill, and the other was helping out with a Kendo lesson. The latter's what I got this katana from, in fact." She added the last ten words while holding up the katana in question. "I'm sure it'll be more useful against Stray Devils than a wooden sword, though."
"Oh, absolutely." Roxas replied, de-summoning Clarent Galatine. The two Nephalem shared a laugh as Kiba, Akame and Xenovia stood up, readying their swords for more sparring, with Saeko doing the same. The four less-powerful Nephalem shifted themselves so they all surrounded Roxas, with Roxas himself letting out a short chuckle.
"So that's how it's gonna be, now?" he remarked, shrugging and holding out his hand, summoning not Clarent Galatine this time, but Dáinmung, the dual-ended weapon that Roxas had commissioned by Rodin. He span the weapon around before getting into a battle-stance. "Alright. Come at me!"
Kiba was the first to move, coming at Roxas in an attempt to slash at his face, which Roxas blocked with a quick movement of Dáinmung's top half. Sensing movement behind him, he grabbed the central shaft of Dáinmung and pulled, splitting the dual-ended spear into two smaller spears that could be easily wielded with one hand each. After moving his head away from the trajectory of Kiba's intended swing (which he still blocked with the top half of Dáinmung), Roxas span around and clashed with Saeko.
Easily stopping her swing in its metaphorical tracks, Roxas pushed Saeko back. Creating a mildly powerful whirlwind out of both weapons and using them to blow Saeko to one side, Roxas jumped back a few feet, putting some distance (however relatively miniscule it was) between the four-way alliance of Kiba, Saeko (who got to her feet after recieving the wind-attack to the face), Xenovia and Akame, and himself. His move also served to let him see all four of them at once.
Roxas casually span the two mini-spears of Dáinmung in his hands, and smirked at the four Knights, making a "come on!" gesture.
Xenovia was the first to charge after her King's taunt, thrusting Durandal forward with a yell. When Durandal's tip came within a foot or two of Roxas' face, he swung one of Dáinmung's mini-spears and created a wave of ice that encased the Holy Sword, which Xenovia only realised when Roxas swung the other of Dáinmung's mini-spears to create a powerful gust of wind that sent Xenovia skidding backwards, Durandal slipping from her hands and remaining frozen within the ice-wave.
Akame came at him next, taking half a second to slice through the ice-wave that Roxas created and free Durandal, before resuming her dash towards Roxas, raising Murasame as she did so. Just as Roxas raised one of Dáinmung's spears in preparation to block Murasame, Akame disengaged from the swing before even finishing it. She pulled back, dashed around Roxas and made a slash at his legs instead, one that came centimetres away from actually cutting him.
However, Roxas managed to block Akame's swing with the other of Dáinmung's mini-spears, and was barely able to push the sword away from his body without letting Murasame's blade touch his skin. As he dashed forward, preparing to thrust both of the mini-spears toward Akame, he felt a light burning on his back, and turned around to see Kiba having spread his wings and headed up into the air, sending several waves of fire at Roxas' back out of a new Sword Birth-created sword.
Turning around and looking towards Kiba, grinning at someone having delivered the third hit on him throughout the whole sparring session (the first one having come from Xenovia and the second having come from Kiba), Roxas thrust one of the mini-spears towards Kiba's position, sending miniature ice-spears that forced Kiba to dodge as opposed to sending more waves of flame down at his King's King.
As Kiba was occupied with dodging rather than attacking, Roxas reconnected the two mini-spears of Dáinmung into the original dual-ended spear-form, spread his ten Nephalem wings and jumped up towards Kiba, catching him mid-flight and throwing him to the ground, before landing a second later. One down.
As the slight sight of misplaced grass entered the left side of his vision, Roxas saw Xenovia coming at him again, having shaken the ice that Durandal had been frozen in off of the large Holy Sword. She swung the sword at Roxas with a yell, which Roxas blocked with one end of Dáinmung. As he and Xenovia clashed with each other, Roxas split Dáinmung into two mini-spears, one of which he kept in place to keep clashing with Xenovia, the second of which he prepared to stab her in the stomach with.
However, Xenovia caught the second mini-spear coming at her stomach out of the corner of her eye, and hopped aside, disengaging from the clash and dodging her King's attempted stab. Roxas was forced to move the mini-spear in his left hand (the one that originally blocked Durandal) into a rather awkward position in order to block Xenovia's next swing for long enough to manoeuvre into a good enough position for him to counterattack with a swing from the mini-spear in his right hand, which Xenovia blocked in turn.
Xenovia was now on the defensive, forced to block many incoming slashes and stabs from Roxas, a fact made easier by Durandal, its huge size and Xenovia's skill in wielding such a huge sword. However, Roxas' skill and speed was superior to Xenovia's skill and speed, and the defence of her sword was eventually passed through by Roxas aiming a stab just past Durandal's blade and at Xenovia's head, forcing the bluenette Knight to force herself into an EXTREMELY awkward position in order to dodge the stab.
She dodged the stab, but came away with one of the circular blades just below the point of the mini-spear just catching her cheek and grazing it. Unfortunately, Xenovia didn't have time to even let out a hiss of pain at her newest injury, considering that Roxas took the opportunity presented by her awkward position to land a roundhouse kick on the other side of her face, knocking her to the ground as well. Two down.
As Roxas turned around, he recognised Akame coming at him next, very clearly aiming to stab him: but Roxas had a feeling that this attack, obvious as it was, was a faint. Just as Akame came at him, he thrust the two mini-spears of Dáinmung both to his left and right, in anticipation of Akame dodging to the side at the last second, as she often did. However, Akame was a step ahead of this tactic, and chose to leap into the air, aiming a kick at Roxas' unguarded head that actually connected with her King of nearly two weeks. The lack of power behind the kick compared to Roxas' considerable physical durability meant that Roxas was unmoved by the kick, but he still let out a smirk as Akame flipped over him, landed on the ground and dashed at his back, preparing to slash at him with Murasame.
"Not bad, Akame." Roxas remarked, deciding then and there to not play around anymore. He turned around and in one motion, swung the two mini-spears of Dáinmung with strength and speed that Akame was in NO WAY prepared for during this spar, meaning that when the blades of both mini-spears collided with the blade of her Murasame, it sent the sword spinning out of her hand, leaving her completely open to a headbutt from Roxas that sent her down to the ground to join Kiba and Xenovia. Three down.
Roxas turned to face the only Knight left, Saeko, who audibly and visibly swallowed at the sight of a Roxas who wasn't fucking around anymore. In spite of this, she raised her sword into a defensive stance and fixed Roxas, who combined the two mini-spears of Dáinmung back into one dual-ended spear, with a glare that clearly said "Bring it on!"
And bring it on Roxas did.
He proceeded to close the 50-meter gap between himself and Saeko in the speed that it would take someone to blink, and used his free hand to casually slap her sword out of her grip, a gesture that surprised Saeko so much that she dropped to the ground, even if Roxas didn't directly do anything to her.
'And that's four.' Roxas thought to himself, holding out a hand to help Saeko up, a hand that she took and used to pull herself to her feet. "You good, Saeko?"
"I'm good." Saeko replied. "That was just... wow."
"You'll be able to do shit like that yourself, with a little bit of training and practice." Roxas remarked. "Hell, as a Knight, you could potentially end up faster than me with enough training. But that'll be a long time from now, if ever."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence." Saeko replied dryly, as she noticed Kiba, Xenovia and Akame getting to their feet. "Why'd you end things so suddenly?"
"Visitors are here." Roxas replied, jerking his thumb behind him. "Figured I should end things as or before they got here."
Saeko looked where Roxas' thumb was pointed, and her eyes widened as, from a distance that she would very much NOT be able to see from if she were still human, she could clearly see Roxas' grandmother/Rias' mother Venelana, Rias herself, Isane and Isane's parents walking through a disembodied door into the time-chamber, which closed behind them.
"Just spar amongst yourselves until I'm done." Roxas remarked to the other three Knights, as they finished picking themselves up off the ground, plus Saeko. "Dedicated training is done for today."
Roxas then flew over to Venelana, Isane, Rias and Isane's parents, landing a few meters away from them before walking over to them and refurling his wings.
"Heya." Roxas greeted the five. "How was the trip?"
"Fine." Venelana replied. "Nothing went wrong. I think Isane's parents are still doing their best to get over the fact that they're now in Greece rather than Japan."
"And I think w-we're trying to get around the fact that we're now in a chamber that... slows down time compared to outside." Miki replied. "One day outside, one month inside. Is that what you said, Isane?"
"Yeah." Isane replied. "And I've told you before, Mom, it's safe. I spent most of my time in here during that week-long trip that Rias had to convince you to let me go on."
"Oh, the 'Occult Research Convention'?" Gorou asked. "That was really..."
"Coming to my place so I'd train Rias and her peerage to hold their own in a contest against an asshole that Rias was supposed to marry." Roxas replied. "They won, by the way." he added.
"That's good." Miki replied. "Your training must have really helped, Roxas."
"Sure did." Roxas nodded, looking over at Rias. "Also, 'Occult Research Convention'? Really, Rias?"
Rias pouted slightly, and folded her arms."
"I thought it was clever." she replied. "And, well, it worked."
"That's the most important thing, I guess." Roxas shrugged. "Anyway, Isane? Shall we?"
"Yeah. Let's go." Isane grinned, taking off the jacket that she had come in, leaving a sleeveless shirt that exposed a small part of her stomach. Roxas couldn't help but notice that Isane had really packed on a decent bit of muscle recently. That combined with her growing bust, long brown hair with red tips, and a generally shapely and attractive body, made up for an incredibly attractive- wait, reddish tips?
"Did you dye your hair or something, Isane?" Roxas spoke up. "Your hair's gone kinda red around the tips."
"Huh?" Isane blinked, grabbing a hunk of her hair and lifting it up to her eyes. Roxas was right, her hair had turned red around the tips. "I don't remember dying my hair." She turned to her parents. "Did I dye my hair recently? Because if I did, I don't remember."
"Wait, that new hair didn't come because you dyed it?" Gorou asked, looking to Miki, then to Isane, then to Roxas then back to Isane. "I thought you'd just decided to dye your hair and didn't question it."
"Same." Miki replied. Both parents, plus Isane, looked over at Roxas, who shrugged.
"I dunno what you're looking at me for, but I'm not sure why Isane's hair's changed colour all of a sudden." he remarked. "Only explanation I can really think of is the being inside her Sacred Gear influencing her outward appearance, like what happened with Valian a while back."
"Maybe." Isane replied, recalling the hair of Roxas' Queen, who they had passed upon arriving in Roxas' villa less than ten minutes ago. Formerly the exact same shade of silver as Roxas' own hair, Valian's hair was now a noticeably lighter shade of silver across the board, as opposed to just the tips.
Roxas shrugged.
"Either way, it looks good on you, Isane." the Nephalem remarked. "Now, shall we get to it?"
"Yeah. Let's." Isane nodded, taking a breath and shifting into a defensive stance. Venelana cast a protective barrier over herself, Rias and Isane's parents, who looked from Isane to Roxas, a slightly worried look on their face. Even though Isane had told them about many of her exploits in supernatural battles since the start of her second year at Kuoh Academy, as well as some of Roxas', their worries that their only daughter was going to get hurt during this spar (that Isane had told them about in advance) weren't assuaged.
"Rias?" Isane called out to her King. "Permission to promote?"
"Granted!" Rias called out in return. Isane nodded and fixed Roxas with a determined look, with the image of a Queen piece forming behind her for a fraction of a second.
"Alright, then." Roxas replied, getting into a battle-stance of his own and spreading his ten white Devil wings. "GO!"
Music: Let the Battles Begin! - Final Fantasy VII
Isane was enveloped into a large pillar of crimson aura for a second. Within a second, the pillar of aura disappeared, and in her place there stood the five-meter-tall crimson Dragon, who let out a roar.
Gorou, from his position of safety behind the barrier that Venelana had erected, looked dumbfounded at the sight of the enormous fucking DRAGON that had taken the place of his daughter. While Miki looked even moreso: it was like she was going to faint at any moment.
"That... that's still Isane, right?" she asked, looking over at Rias and Venelana.
"That's still her." Rias replied. "She's using a power that she developed thanks to the Sacred Gear that I told you about. Though I have to admit, this is the first time I'm seeing it up close myself."
Whatever Venelana said in addition was drowned out by the sounds of Dragon-Isane and Roxas (who had taken off his own shirt and used a quick healing spell to take care of the burn on his back), firing their first attacks at each other, at exactly the same time: Dragon-Isane sent a huge ball of fire at Roxas, which her King's King countered with a concentrated ball of Twilight energy that impacted the fireball dead-centre.
The ball of fire exploded with a BOOM, the volume of which made Gorou and Miki's ears ring, and fire flew everywhere, including onto the barrier that Venelana had erected, which wasn't affected. The grass around them also caught fire, as Isane and Roxas took to the air. Roxas conjured up two spears of Twilight energy, one in each hand, and flung them towards Dragon-Isane, but missed as Isane flew up into the air to dodge them.
Once she was about twenty meters above Roxas, she dove, coming down at him with a roar of determination, her mouth opening and letting out a stream of flame towards her opponent, which Roxas easily dodged, countering with a Twilight-enhanced punch to Isane's face, which was powerful enough to send her spinning around for a second or two. Dragon-Isane righted herself in mid-air, however, and fired another ball of fire towards Roxas, which he casually deflected with a magic-circle shield.
"Come on, you can do better than that!" Roxas remarked, grinning at Dragon-Isane, who let out a growl, before dashing at Roxas, her dragon-jaws agape. Roxas just gave off another smirk as Isane closed her jaws around Roxas...
…
For about two and a half seconds, before she found that her jaws were being forced open from the inside by Roxas.
"You know, as far as the inside of dragon-mouths go, you don't smell too bad, Isane." he remarked, before delivering a punch to the roof of Isane's mouth that forced her to recoil away from him, allowing him to casually jump down to the ground and brush himself off.
Isane's parents looked positively gobsmacked at how not-seriously Roxas was taking this fight, while Rias and Venelana just rolled their eyes at how par-for-the-course this was.
Seemingly in reply to this, Roxas summoned Clarent Galatine with a wave of his hand and swung it in a wide arc in Isane's direction, sending a wave of crimson Holy-Demonic lightning her way, before de-summoning it and summoning Dáinmung into his hand within the same second. Splitting his newest weapon into two mini-spears, he span both weapons around in his hand for a couple of seconds, allowing them to build up energy as Isane tanked the wave of Holy-Demonic lightning to the chest. She then dashed at Roxas, who finished spinning the two mini-spears of Dáinmung around and brought them together with a clang, summoning a large tornado that he sent Isane's way.
Dragon-Isane was forced to take a defensive stance to not take too much damage from the shards of ice that flew around at speed within the tornado that Roxas created via Dáinmung. She sent a fireball towards Roxas out of her mouth, which Roxas caught with an Amalgamation-hole, combined with his Power of Twilight, and sent right back at her, splitting the combined power into several smaller balls of energy that he hit her with, with pinpoint precision.
The high temperature of the fire that Roxas sent back at Isane was enough to cause large explosions whenever the fire/Twilight combined balls of energy went back into the tornado and impacted Isane, with the explosions doing more to Isane than the impact of the Twilight-fireballs themselves. The explosion caused by the last and most powerful Twilight-fireball was enough to send Isane spinning out of the tornado that she was held in. At the sight of this, Roxas de-summoned Dáinmung in favour of re-summoning Clarent Galatine and taking to the air in pursuit of Isane, who had righted herself in mid-air, looking more annoyed than hurt.
As Roxas came flying up to Isane, a grin on his face as he pulled Clarent Galatine back, hoping to deliver another powerful blow to her, he heard a transportation-circle opening from directly beneath him, one that he didn't open himself. Instinct told him to FUCKING MOVE, which he did, barely dodging the long stream of fire that Dragon-Isane had blown through a transportation-circle that she'd opened just next to her. Roxas then raised his hand to block Dragon-Isane, who had chosen that exact second to charge at him while he was distracted, with a magic-circle shield.
Dragon-Isane bounced off the shield, dazed for long enough for Roxas to easily swing Clarent Galatine four times, sending two large waves of Twilight energy and two equally large waves of crimson Holy-Demonic lightning at her, all of which made their mark and caused Isane to let out growls of pain.
Isane attempted to retaliate with another stream of fire from her mouth, but Roxas simply cast a magic-circle shield in one hand and held it up, forcing the fire to one side as he flew towards Isane, past Isane, swinging his sword with such strength that it delivered a deep cut to the crimson Dragoness' side. Before Isane could even let out another cry of pain and attempt to stop herself from bleeding, Roxas turned around and de-summoned Clarent Galatine.
Roxas then flew at Isane at as high of a speed as he could build up to within the next instant and rammed into the side of her Dragon body with such speed and force that he managed to push Isane along with him, and up into the air when he turned that way. Isane, still in her Dragon form, tried to reach Roxas in an attempt to pull him off of her, tried to blow fire on him in an attempt to force him to get off her, but Roxas turned over in mid-air, dodging all her attempts at once, and flew straight into the ground, positively carrying Isane with him.
Music end
Isane's impact into the ground was such that it created a large dragon-shaped crater in said ground where she was forcibly carried by Roxas. It was also such that, with nothing but a guttural groan to convey her pain, Isane shifted form from that of a Dragon back to that of a human in a flash of crimson.
The wielder of Ddraig had no visible injuries on her human body, but her breaths were long, strong and loud enough that they could be heard by Rias, Venelana (who had dismissed the magical barrier that she'd put up, and also began putting out the fires that had spread around the time-chamber as a result of Roxas and Isane's fight) and Isane's parents, who instantly made towards their daughter the first chance they got, before Venelana had even finished putting the fires out.
"Isane!" Gorou was the first to shout out, as Isane accepted Roxas' hand to pull her to her feet, and also accepted Roxas' shoulder to lean on when her attempt to stand on her own failed within the short matter of three seconds. "Are you alright? Are you hurt?!"
"I'm fine, Dad..." Isane replied, grinning as Roxas half-carried her towards her parents, meeting them after a few steps. "Just... drained. And- agh." she moaned in slight pain, raising a hand to one side of her lower abdomen and pressed on it gingerly, an act that made her wince in pain. "Fuck, I think you did some damage with that last hit, Roxas."
"Hopefully it wasn't too bad." Roxas replied, as Gorou moved over to Isane's other side and assisted him in carrying Isane towards the door of the time-chamber, which Venelana had opened. "The fact that you're still conscious and talking probably means you're okay. Palutena can look at it when we get back upstairs." He then looked over at Venelana, Rias and Miki. "Hey, can someone take my place here? I'll go get the Knights and bring them up too."
Miki stepped forward almost instantly, took Roxas' place in half-carrying Isane, and they, Rias and Venelana began heading towards the door to the time-chamber, while Roxas leisurely flew over to Kiba, Saeko, Xenovia and Akame, who just looked like they had gotten done with a particularly intense fight... probably because they'd just gotten done with a particularly intense fight.
"Hey Roxas, we done?" Xenovia, who had just planted Durandal into the ground, before stretching. "I guess we're done. That ending attack you pulled on Isane followed by her being carried out looked like we're done."
"Oh, I wonder what gave you that idea." Roxas replied, dryly. "Yeah, we're done." He added, in a more regular voice. "Pack up and let's go."
Roxas flicked his eyes over from Xenovia, to Kiba, to Akame and then to Saeko, who now held two swords as opposed to one: one of which was a standard-looking European-like sword, the other of which was the sword that she had recieved from the summon that she mentioned earlier... which had been straight-up broken.
Rias' second Knight was looking at the first sword with confusion, so judging by that alone, she probably didn't get that from a summon like the first one.
"Nice new sword, Saeko." Roxas remarked. "Cool that you had that as well as your first sword."
"I only got this a minute ago." Saeko replied, looking at the European-like sword. "After Xenovia broke my sword, I ended up... just conjuring this out of thin air. Definitely doesn't feel like the katana I got, or any other katana I got, but it sure worked."
"Conjured it up out of thin air, huh?" Roxas repeated, blinking as the cogs turned in his head. "Hang on... wait, give me the sword. I want to check something."
Saeko looked from Roxas to the sword, then back to Roxas, and after a shrug, handed the sword over. It only took a couple of seconds for Roxas to seemingly check whatever he needed to check, before handing it back to her.
"That's a Holy Sword, alright." The silverette remarked. "So, either I don't know what the fuck just happened with you summoning a sword out of nowhere, or you've just unlocked a Sacred Gear. Blade Blacksmith, to be exact."
Line Break
"So, this is the kind of work that's done in the Underworld?" Miki asked, holding up a number of papers which detailed everything that one needed to know regarding the contract-work that Isane had been doing over the past few months, ever since Rias had reincarnated her: her clients, the tasks that she'd been asked to carry out for them, the compensation she'd received in return and additional review notes that the clients had provided post-job.
"Most of it." Venelana replied, offering post-dinner drinks to both Gorou and Miki, which they both accepted. "It's just a regular job like any other job in the Underworld, though there's more prestige to it in high-society circles than among the lower classes."
"I see, I see." Miki nodded, flicking through the papers and reading through them, impressed with what the reports said about her daughter and her performances. "Well, that one explains where Isane got those high-headphones from." she mused, in reference to one of the pieces of compensation that the report detailed Isane receiving as a result of a job that included bartending at a high-end pub in the UK for an evening.
"I was wondering about that!" Gorou nodded, taking a gulp of the drink that Venelana had given him. "I never did fully buy what Isane said about how she got her hands on a pair like that."
"Probably not like you would have believed her, had she told you the truth." Roxas' voice could be heard, as he came downstairs with both Palutena and Isane, who easily stood on her own after Palutena had healed her up. Turned out the injury she had sustained at Roxas' hands was just extra pain as a result of Roxas hitting that area of her body particularly hard during their fight, rather than anything more serious, which was definitely a good thing.
Neither Venelana, Miki or Gorou chose to address the fact that Isane was wearing what looked like one of Roxas' shirts as they looked up from their discussion.
"I'll be in my room, Roxas." Palutena remarked to her husband, before retreating, leaving Roxas and Isane alone with her parents and one of Roxas' grandmothers. There was a short silence between the two parties before Miki spoke up.
"We were just looking over what you'd done with contract-work, Isane." Miki spoke, holding up the papers so Isane could see them, before placing them down on the table in front of the couch that she and Gorou were sat on. "It's... impressive, everything you've done in the last six months or so. With some of the more outlandish rewards you've received," she let out a whistle. "You could have sold some of them and be set for life, whether you were backed up by a crazy-rich Devil family or not! Never mind your relationship with Roxas and all that might bring." she added, her eyes flicking between her and Roxas.
"I know I said that we didn't need help financially, Roxas," Gorou remarked. "But with what is it selfish for me to say that I'm beginning to reconsider that, with how much you, the Gremory family, and Isane all earn?"
"DAD!" Isane cried, already blushing after Miki's comment about her and Roxas (in spite of her continuous relief that her parents approved of her crush on, and subsequent relationship with, him), but now having turned beet-red after her father's comment. Roxas, however, just laughed.
"Not really, no." he replied, letting go of Isane and walking over to the couch opposite the one that Miki and Gorou sat at. "Though given that I'm half-Devil, I suppose you should take my input with a pinch of salt."
"More like enough salt to outweigh the output of the entire Star Wars fanbase five times over." Isane muttered, under her breath.
"Too true." Roxas nodded, flopping down on the couch he was previously walking towards before looking over at Gorou. "Either way, regardless of my feelings on whether your desires are selfish or not, the offer still remains open, Gorou. As I believe I previously stated."
"You sure did." Gorou replied. "And as I said, I'm beginning to reconsider the offer." he gulped the last of the drink that Venelana offered him down. "I'll have to get back to you sometime in the near future. This drink is amazing by the way, where did you get- hang on, don't tell me. Contract-work?"
"Got it in one." Roxas grinned. "Four whole bottles of that stuff. And you're right, it's great."
"Agreed." Miki replied, finishing off the rest of her drink and standing up. "Today's been another, uh, really educational day for both of us, Roxas. And I guess we'll be going home like we came here? Through one of those transportation-circles?"
"Yup." Roxas replied, looking from the parents to the daughter (whose blush had slightly faded, but was still visible), before standing up himself. "I'll take you myself. It's only a two-minute round trip, at most."
"It sure beats getting a 12-hour flight back to Japan." Isane remarked, standing with her parents as Roxas opened a transportation-circle underneath their feet, and stepped into it himself. One magic-circle activation later Roxas, Isane and Isane's parents were gone, and two minutes and one second after that, Roxas was back, without Isane or Isane's parents.
"Ahh..." Roxas sighed, stretching again before scratching a random itch that popped up on the back of his neck. "Was there anything else that I had to do today, other than the little playdate with Isane and her parents?"
"Not really." Venelana replied, summoning her phone out of thin air, unlocking it and flicking through some notes. "Only major thing you have to do in the next week is meet with all the presidents of the companies that you brought from Jude Heartfilia, but that's after your Rating Game with Rudiger. So you don't have to worry until after that."
"Good." Roxas nodded, walking past Venelana to get a small snack and getting in a sneaky grope on her ass as he did so. "Thanks again for all the help, by the way. With everything you do, Vene."
"No problem." Venelana replied. "It's honestly been nice since I became your assistant. I finally have something to do." she locked her phone and tossed it into a magic-circle. "Even if being a PA for your new Underworld public life, as well as all the stuff that comes with being your business assistant is becoming slightly draining at times... it's not your fault." she added the last four words, as Roxas shot her a concerned look. "And I don't hate it, it's just a lot to manage."
"Maybe you should look into hiring assistants of your own." Roxas remarked, shrugging. "Would definitely ease the workload for you a bit."
"Hm..." Venelana hummed, thinking over her grandson's suggestion for a second. "Not a bad idea, actually. One for all RoxCorp-related stuff, and one for public stuff in the Underworld. Though I have a feeling you're gonna become big enough that I'll need two or three assistants for that alone."
She sat down, summoned her phone again and began taking notes, muttering to herself, while Roxas finished his snack.
"Well, I won't get in your way when you're in note mode." he remarked, chuckling to himself at his little joke as he headed to the stairs. "I'll be in my room if anyone needs me."
Venelana just gave a non-committal hum as Roxas headed out of sight, upstairs and to the upper levels of his home, heading towards his room. Along the way, however, he almost walked directly into Lavinia, who was dressed in a light t-shirt and shorts as opposed to her usual Magicians' robes.
"Lavinia, hey." Roxas greeted his second-newest peerage member. "How was the summon?"
"Not bad." Lavinia replied. "Helped the client's kids with the basics of magic, and got some money out of the deal. Seems like standard stuff to me."
"Well, that's how it usually goes." Roxas replied. "At least for those that are new to the whole Underworld-contracting thing. Nothing against you, I'm sure you'll become great at contract-work in time, but you generally work up to bigger clients and bigger rewards."
"Yeah." Lavinia replied. "Unless you get lucky and happened to be summoned by someone with status in the human world for a specific task that only you can do. Or you've already got enough status and reputation for high-value clients to go after you on that alone. Or several people are willing to summon you for a chance at... well, you know." Her sapphire-coloured eyes flicked down at Roxas' crotch, then back up as she looked back at Roxas' face. She then turned her face away, in an attempt to hide the blush that had suddenly come.
"Heh." Roxas replied. "Well, at least you don't have to summon me if you want a go at this," he gestured down to the area of himself that Lavinia had snuck a glance at. "Or give me anything super-valueable as compensation like Willow Schnee or Sophie Relish. Right?"
Lavinia nodded, her blush having faded slightly from her face. Roxas nodded in return, and stretched again.
"Well, I won't get in the way of whatever you were gonna do." He remarked to his newest Pawn. "We're out of pasta downstairs, by the way, so if you were going for a snack, you might want to cook up something else."
Roxas then stepped past Lavinia and made for his bedroom, pushing the door open and walking in, figuring that he'd get changed before watching some Bojack Horseman until he got tired and inevitably dropped off. Though the sound of someone, who after a single glance in the direction of his door turned out to be Lavinia, coming in after him was enough for him to think of another option to spend his evening.
"Something else you needed, Lavinia?" Roxas asked, a small smile playing about his mouth as he shed his jacket and tossed it down onto the nearest chair. "Or wanted to ask me?"
"Not really, no." Lavinia replied, taking another step into the bedroom, coming closer to Roxas. Her Fianna-sized tits were really stretching that shirt she was wearing, Roxas just now realised. And now he was this close to her, he could make out the bra she was wearing underneath said shirt.
"I just..." Lavinia spoke, trailing off for a second before she shook her head, seeming to steel herself. "Fuck it, I want to have sex with you. I've wanted it since we met. We both know I've had a crush on you for ages, and now I'm in your peerage and around you more now, I... uh-"
"I completely understand." Roxas replied, closing the remaining distance between himself and Lavinia in a single step, his small smile giving way to a slightly larger, more lustful one. "Nice that you came out and said it yourself, rather than have me have to coax it out of you."
Before Lavinia could make any reply to Roxas' remark, Roxas leaned in, laying his hands on Lavinia's wonderfully slim waist before pressing his lips against hers. Lavinia, overcome with ecstacy that she was finally so close with the man of her dreams (even if the number of women that he'd gotten with before her likely numbered in the hundreds), kissed back with such enthusiasm that Roxas was momentarily overwhelmed, and pushed back onto his own bed.
Before joining her King, Lavinia lifted up and pulled off the shirt she was wearing, revealling the tasteful bra she wore underneath, which was also quickly discarded in lieu of allowing her huge (by the standards of human women, that is) tits to bounce free. Her shorts and underwear (which matched the bra that she'd discarded just a moment ago) were next to follow, leaving her utterly naked in her King's bedroom, with said King allowing himself a perverted grin at the sight of the gorgeous blonde servant in front of him.
"Well damn, isn't that a sight for eyes of the exceptionally sore variety?" Roxas said to himself, beginning to pull off his own clothes while remaining on his bed, eventually derobing himself to the same level of nudity as Lavinia, who crawled onto the bed and pressed her lips against his again. Her tongue entered Roxas' mouth and momentarily danced with his as she laid her body, tits and all, against Roxas' sexy form.
Lavinia's hands roamed all over the body beneath hers as the kiss deepened, copping another feel of the man that, in spite of all her playful big-sister-type flirting with the males of the Slash/Dog Team, with the males of Grauzauberer, and even the occasional male Fallen Angel that momentarily caught her eye, she truly wanted to feel the affections of.
Damn the aforementioned fact that he'd slept with so many women that the average human womanizer would probably be tempted to commit the quickest and least painful suicide possible out of jealousy, damn the fact that she wouldn't even be anywhere near the top-ranked within his growing harem (if there was even a ranking of any kind beyond "Palutena" and "Everyone Else". The jury was still out on that one, honestly), there was just something about Roxas that made Lavinia... want him.
And now that she had him...
"I've been waiting for this, Roxas." Lavinia whispered, before pulling back from the kiss with Roxas and settling into a straddling position, taking his hands in hers and rubbing her thumbs on his wrists in an affectionate manner for a couple of seconds before letting go. "I just hope that, after all this time, it's worth it."
Roxas gave off another smile. A low moan escaped his lips as Lavinia lifted herself up, just above the tip of the foot-long trouser-snake that she held in one hand, before dropping down and sheathing said trouser-snake in her most precious area, probably ruining herself for any hypothetical future man, all within the span of about ten seconds. Such an action by Lavinia was accompanied by a decidedly louder and higher-pitched moan than the one Roxas gave off, as her virginity left her forever.
"Oh, I'm sure it will be worth it, Lavinia." Roxas remarked. "I'll make your first time worth it."
"I'm sure you would..." Lavinia replied, panting slightly within the several seconds it took her to get used to such an enormous appendage inside her. "If you actually needed to do anything." She then snapped her fingers, and before Roxas could even ask what Lavinia meant by her statement, his wrists snapped together and were forced above his head by some unseen force, seemingly attatching themselves to the headboard of his bed.
Satisfied with the enchantment that she'd placed on Roxas' wrists when she rubbed them earlier, Lavinia swung her hand to shut the bedroom door via a wave of magic, and began slowly rocking herself back and forth on top of Roxas' hips, a long, constant moan coming from her lips as she rocked.
"So that's what you meant, heh." Roxas remarked, grinning through the pleasure of Lavinia's pussy wrapped tightly around his cock, and suppressing a chuckle as he looked up at his wrists, which were glowing with some kind of sapphire-blue energy that wrapped them together. "That's a cute party-trick. Could easily break it, but..." he shrugged, and settled into a slightly more comfortable position as Lavinia continued rocking herself on top of him. "If this is how you want your first time to be, I'd be a dick to deny you."
"Yeah, you-HMM!- w-would be." Lavinia replied, moaning again as she began to slowly pick up the pace of which she rocked on top of Roxas' cock. Her huge tits lightly bounced around on her chest with every rocking movement that she made, and her breath came out in rhythmic pants. The momentary pain that came from her hymen being speared through by Roxas' cock was nothing compared to the constantly-rising pleasure flowing throughout her body, with smaller waves of such coming from her pussy every time she rocked on top of Roxas.
Getting a naughty idea as she slowly shifted from rocking back and forth on Roxas' cock to lightly bouncing up and down on him, Lavinia began to focus her magic down at the same nether regions that enveloped her King's cock, and slowly began lowering the temperature of the inside of her pussy as she rode Roxas. Her now-cold pussy combined with the tightness of said pussy and Roxas' relatively-warm cock was enough to ramp the pleasure up tremendously for both parties, with Roxas being the one that moaned first.
"Aggh!" the silverette Nephalem cried out, throwing his head back as he did so. "F-fuck, Lavinia!"
"You-ahh~- l-like?" Lavinia moaned in reply. "You like-ah- a cold pussy-ahh- wrapped a-around a-ahh- w-warm cock?"
"Love it!" Roxas replied. He involuntarily clenched his teeth as Lavinia, seemingly spurned on by Roxas' previous loud moans, began bouncing herself harder and faster on his cock. Roxas' foot-long prick had already begun pulsating when Lavinia made her cunt cold, but with how suddenly aggressive she had gotten with riding her King, the pulsating began more and more intense with every bounce Lavinia made, to the point that she was feeling it from within her pussy.
"Hmm~ oh, Roxas!" Lavinia cried out, throwing her head back. "I c-can't... I'm g-gonna... AHH, FUUUUCK!" the Absolute Demise wielder let out a scream of absolute ecstacy as she hit her first climax of the evening, falling off the metaphorical cliff into temporary sexual bliss, during which Roxas, still restrained as he was, let out a loud grunt of his own, hitting his own climax and letting out a torrent of cum from his cock, straight into Lavinia's pussy and womb.
Even after Lavinia came down from the immediate blissful high that was the first orgasm she'd ever had that she didn't bring on by herself, she found herself twitching slightly from the feeling of Roxas' seed flooding her insides for a solid half-minute. As her pussy (which had become vice-like around Roxas' cock in the wake of her climax) finished squeezing everything that Roxas had in his first batch out of him, she flopped forward and landed on his body with a soft "oof!", with Roxas' cock springing out of her pussy but still remaining hard.
Lavinia let out a little giggle at the feeling of Roxas' cum slowly leaking out of her filled-up pussy, but no other noise escaped her other than the occasional pant, which mixed with Roxas' until he spoke.
"That was, by the standards of a first-timer, fucking amazing." Roxas praised the former Human Magician. "Th-though I'm curious. That pussy-temperature magical technique. Did you learn it from anyone, or was that just... something you came up with by yourself?"
"I'd say it was the former." A different, decidedly harder voice spoke up from the door. "Though I'd also say that Lavinia put it to damn good use if she got you to cum that fast."
Lavinia chose that moment to roll right off of Roxas' body and land on her back beside him, giving her the chance to look up at the doorway, and at who spoke. Roxas also looked up, and blinked at the sight of Esdeath Partas, standing in the doorway of Roxas' room, a smile of her own playing about her mouth. She seemed to be in the middle of stripping herself, so evidently she hadn't just arrived.
'Chances are she arrived while Lavinia was screaming her head off.' Roxas thought to himself. 'Either that or she came earlier- oh, fuck it, why am I overthinking this?'
"I like the fact that you restrained him, Demise Girl." Esdeath remarked to Lavinia once she finished stripping down to full nudity, before striding forward and climbing onto Roxas' bed as if joining in on fuck-sessions between her King and other peerage members of said King was a regular thing for her (though, to be fair to Esdeath... it kind of was). "Very dominating. I like that~"
The wielder of Demon's Extract took Roxas' cock in her hand and, not seeming to care at all that it was still sensitive from the incredible orgasm that Roxas had had just a couple of moments ago, gave it a rough squeeze that elicited a loud groan of mixed pleasure and pain from Roxas. His reaction drew nothing but a satisfied smirk from Esdeath, who moved her hand down to semi-aggressively rubbing Roxas' balls while wrapping her mouth around his cock, beginning to bob herself up and down on it almost immediately.
Lavinia, from her position on Roxas' bed, looked up at the sound of Roxas' continued loud moans. Her eyes widened as they focused on Esdeath, how she utterly dominated Roxas by way of nothing but her mouth and left hand, and how fucking easy she made it look. Lavinia couldn't see Esdeath's right hand from where she was lying, but judging by how Esdeath was reaching downwards with her right arm, she could only assume that she was rubbing at herself while she sucked her King off.
Had Roxas' hands been untied, he would probably be clutching at his bedsheets so hard that he'd have either ripped them apart or hurt himself in the process, such was the intensity of the utter fucking ONSLAUGHT of pleasure that his most sensitive area, was being subjected to. Already having gone through an intense orgasm in the past few minutes while having its temperature lowered through proximity to Lavinia's cold pussy, now being subjected to an intense blowjob from Esdeath, and having his balls aggressively rubbed and groped on top of that, it was hardly any wonder that he was moaning and writhing up a storm right now, almost too distracted by the pleasure to even remember that his hands were still tied up and restrained to the head of his bed.
But then again, this was Esdeath that he was dealing with. Esdeath's blowjobs, and all sexual acts that she carried out with him when she was on top, really, were always so... certain, so purposeful. When he was below her, his second Rook always knew what she wanted to do to pleasure her/him/both of them, and her carrying it out was more an inevitability than anything else... with the fact that she liked being on top in the bedroom more than being on the bottom probably being a factor in why her domination was so good. Because you always want to do well what you like doing, right?
Regardless, Roxas let out another loud moan as Esdeath, who seemingly thought that all that she was doing wasn't enough, suddenly lowered her mouth even further onto Roxas' cock, deep-throating him without a nanosecond's hesitation. Esdeath held herself there for as long as she could, revelling in the feeling of both her superior's cock pulsating violently in her throat and said superior writhing around in pleasure under her, hearing Roxas' loud moans of pleasure and Lavinia's gasp of surprise. The ice-blue-haired half-Devil lifted up off of Roxas' cock, having finally ran out of air, before shooting Lavinia a wink before letting go of Roxas' balls as well.
After ceasing rubbing her own pussy (which was pretty damn wet by this time), Esdeath chose to introduce a new factor into her aggressive pleasuring of her King: her tits, which she gripped onto with both hands and lifted onto Roxas' legs, before pushing them against Roxas' cock and beginning to rock them up and down on top of him- an action that certainly felt good on her end, but was probably nothing compared to how Roxas was taking the titjob.
Esdeath pretty-much completely ignored Roxas' moaning and writhing beneath her, and looked over at Lavinia, a smirk on her face as the former Magician (now fully sat up) watched the events unfolding in front of her with a mixture of surprise and arousal.
"You've got a lot to learn, girl." Esdeath remarked, in a conversational matter-of-fact tone. "And I'll be happy to teach you everything you need to know tonight. Hell knows that Roxas'll love it~"
Almost seemingly on cue, Roxas bucked his hips extra-hard and hit his second climax of the evening. Long streams of seed left his cock and made their home on Esdeath's face, staining her pale form with his thick, sticky seed. Some of it went so far that it landed in Esdeath's hair, and some of it didn't go far enough to land on her face, rather just settling on the top of her breasts.
Esdeath seemed to take all of that in stride, with her only acknowledgement of Roxas cumming all over her face being to lean down and lap up the cum that hadn't gone anywhere, and just ended up between her tits. She also teasingly dragged her tongue across the very tip of Roxas' cock, drawing out almost whimper-like moans from her King until she was finished, at which point she pulled back.
After a quick glance in the nearest mirror to seemingly admire her own cum-stained face before using magic to vanish the thick fluid that slowly dripped down her face, Esdeath stood up and headed over to the side of the bed that Lavinia was sitting on, mouth agape at the events that had just unfolded in front of her, and seemingly so shocked that she didn't react for a second when Esdeath reached down and grabbed her hand.
"Come on." Esdeath spoke, practically pulling Lavinia to her feet. "I said I'll teach you everything you need to know, this is something you need to know. No time like now to give you a more hands-on lesson."
"A-alright." Lavinia replied, allowing Esdeath to lead her to the end of Roxas' bed. While paying no attention to Roxas himself, who was positively shaking from the aftermath of his second orgasm of the night, Esdeath and Lavinia both clamboured onto Roxas' bed, moving swiftly up to his crotch area and appreciating the fact that, after two orgasms in quick succession, Roxas' cock was still diamond-hard and twitching.
"Make yourself comfortable between his legs." Esdeath ordered to Lavinia, deftly creating a spreader bar out of ice and fastening Roxas' ankles into it in order to keep his legs spread apart, before kneeling beside her. "Just take Roxas' cock into your mouth. Go slowly, don't try to take more of him than you can naturally do. Just let your hands take care of the rest of him."
"G-got it, Esdeath." Lavinia nodded, doing as Esdeath instructed: opening her mouth and leaning down, slowly taking Roxas' erect, twitching cock into her mouth. The natural taste of his cock underneath everything was strong enough, but the layer of fluid that was the mixture of Lavinia's own pussy-juices, Esdeath's saliva and Roxas' cum on top of that was almost too much to take for her.
It certainly wasn't BAD, mind you. Just... strong. Almost overpoweringly so. And pretty warm. And somewhat sweet, honestly.
Resolving that this was just something she was going to have to handle if she wanted to be as good at pleasuring Roxas as certain other women were, Lavinia kept lowering her mouth until the tip of Roxas' cock touched the back of her throat. Making the snap-decision then and there that deep-throating her King like Esdeath had done was NOT something that she wanted to try yet, she imitated her fellow ice-wielder and began slowly bobbing her mouth up and down on the top third or so of Roxas' cock.
"Ahhh..." Roxas moaned out, with his involuntary shivers having just stopped. "Lavinia, that's good..."
Lavinia blushed at her King's praise, and like Esdeath had both instructed and shown, gripped Roxas' cock with one hand and slowly began stroking what she was unable to cover with her mouth. She quickly synced up the pace of which she stroked Roxas with the pace of which she sucked him off, an act that prompted a satisfied look from Esdeath, who was watching from a couple of feet away on Roxas' bed.
'Oh, she's gonna end up great at this soon enough.' Esdeath thought to herself. 'I can tell.'
Lavinia continued her ministrations on Roxas' cock for a moment or two, with steady moans from Roxas himself being enough encouragement to inform Lavinia that she wasn't fucking this up, until Esdeath decided to chime in with another suggestion.
"Try not to neglect his balls, Lavinia." She remarked. "Roxas really likes it when you rub them, squeeze them, or even suck them~"
"Sh-she's damn right I do." Roxas spoke up himself, as Lavinia pulled back from his cock and looked down at her King's slowly-pulsating balls for a couple of seconds. After said couple of seconds, Lavinia returned to sucking Roxas off while stroking him with one hand, while electing to do as Esdeath had done earlier and begin squeezing at and rubbing his balls with her other hand.
She certainly went about it slightly slower and less decisively than Esdeath had done, but it still prompted the same order of moans and groans from Roxas in return, which was encouragement enough for Lavinia to continue her work, slightly upping the speed and intensity of which she did so. Still not to Esdeath-levels, but both Esdeath AND Roxas would have been very surprised indeed if she pulled anything to the caliber of the former within the first month of a sexual relationship with Roxas, let alone her first time.
Satisfied with Lavinia's work and continuing progress on Roxas thus far, Esdeath crawled up the bed towards her King, lustful grin still on her face. After sharing a quick kiss with him, she straddled him and shoved her pussy in his face.
"How about giving me a bit of pleasure in return for what I gave you, huh Roxas?" Esdeath asked, smirking down at Roxas. "Sounds fair, don't-" Esdeath's rhetorical question was interrupted by a moan from the blue-haired domme as Roxas' answer came in the form of him sticking his tongue out and dragging it across the opening of her cold but sweet-tasting pussy.
Esdeath tried to speak up, but Roxas, this time, interrupted his Rook before she could even start by sticking tongue into her pussy and drawing circles inside her most sensitive area with said tongue, an action he knew she utterly ADORED. The deeper his tongue ventured into Esdeath's pussy, the more Esdeath moaned from the pleasure of her King's actions: the pleasure she felt was such that she reached down and grabbed onto Roxas by the hair, pushing his face further into her clean-shaven pussy just so he could drive his tongue deeper and deeper into her.
On her end, with every back-and-forth bob that she made on Roxas' cock, Lavinia found herself subconsciously taking more and more of Roxas' cock into her mouth, and becoming more and more used to both the idea and sensation of her King's member penetrating her throat. As she lowered her mouth onto half of Roxas' cock, taking one-and-a-half to two inches of his prick into the confines of her throat, which were even tighter than that of her pussy.
Such pressure on the very tip of his member forced another loud moan out of Roxas, though such a moan was rather muffled by the fact that Esdeath was positively grinding herself on his face in an attempt to force his tongue deeper and deeper inside her. Regardless, Lavinia held herself on Roxas' cock, feeling the tip of it pulsating in her throat for as long as she could until she felt herself forced to lift off of it for air. Lavinia found herself breathing heavily as she stroked Roxas' cock with both hands, with her eyes drifting from the rock-hard organ in her hand down to her own breasts, which jiggled lightly with every heavy breath she took.
They were certainly an impressive pair, and also certainly bigger than Esdeath's by a noticeable amount. Not by a ludicrous amount (like the difference in bust-size between Akame and Venelana, for example), but it was easy to tell from a glance which ice-wielder came out on top in the bust department.
And if Esdeath could do that whole tit-fucking thing on Roxas' cock, then...
Lavinia, remembering how Esdeath had fucked Roxas with her tits, lifted her own chest-melons up and rested them on either side of Roxas' cock, before pushing them together with her hands and enveloping her King's prick between them, to the point that it almost couldn't be seen at all between them. That decision of hers drew out another moan from Roxas, one even louder than the last one.
Roxas' moans were such that Esdeath (who was shuddering from the vibrations brought on by Roxas moaning pretty-much directly on her pussy) looked around to see what Lavinia was doing, and widened her eyes at the sight of her rocking her tits up and down on his cock, drawing out more and more moans from their King as she did so.
"Well, I don't-hmm~- need to teach you how to- ahh~- do that, then." Esdeath remarked, through her moans at Roxas' ministrations on and inside her pussy. "That's one thing off the-oh~- list, then."
"I guess." Lavinia replied, a smile on her face from the feeling of Roxas' cock violently pulsating within her tits as she rocked them faster and faster and harder and harder on said cock. Judging by what happened about half a minute after Roxas' cock started pulsating when it was inside her pussy, Lavinia had a feeling that she knew what was coming.
What she mentally predicted came to pass within another quarter of a minute. Like what had happened with Esdeath, Roxas let out a muffled scream of pleasure, bucked his hips and hit his third climax of the night, firing long thick streams of cum straight into Lavinia's tits. However, very much unlike what happened with Esdeath, Lavinia was able to hold all of Roxas' fired cum between her tits, keeping everything outside of that area relatively clean and meaning that she wouldn't have to clean her face, like Esdeath did.
As the power of coincidences would have it, Esdeath hit her own first climax of the night by way of Roxas' tongue alone, and squirted all over her King's face with a very much un-muffled scream of climactic pleasure, followed by her slumping down and dropping beside Roxas, panting hard in the same way that Lavinia did after her first orgasm.
She was up far quicker than Lavinia was, however, and moved over to Lavinia just as she pulled back from Roxas' tits, to observe the gooey, sticky mess that was the area between her tits that Roxas had filled up with his seed. Lavinia briefly considered scooping up some of the cum that Roxas had lathered her tits with and licking it up herself, though Esdeath seemed to have a similar idea considering how she positively dived into Lavinia's tits, sticking her tongue out and licking all around between Lavinia's tits, lapping up all the cum she could.
Lavinia let out a sound that could only be described as a hybrid between a moan and a giggle as Esdeath's tongue glided around every square inch of her tits that Roxas' freshly-fired cum occupied. She didn't exactly know how to feel at the fact that it was a woman doing this to her, but one thing was for sure: it certainly wasn't BAD. Said feeling was amplified when, after having scooped up all of Roxas' cum off of her tits with her tongue, Esdeath shifted upwards and suddenly kissed Lavinia, mouth-on-mouth.
Lavinia was so caught off-guard by Esdeath kissing her that she offered no resistance when Esdeath shoved her tongue into Lavinia's mouth, licking all around inside and transferring a good portion of Roxas' cum into her mouth via her tongue. Once this was done, Esdeath pulled back, a trail of saliva connecting her and Lavinia's mouths for a couple of seconds before it broke.
"Tasty, hm?" Esdeath grinned, savouring the taste of the portion of Roxas' cum that was still in her mouth before swallowing it. At Lavinia's nod, she smirked again. "Glad to hear it. I'm sure Roxas is, too."
She looked over at Roxas, who said nothing. He could only pant heavily after his third orgasm of the evening. Though both Esdeath and Lavinia spied a happy look on Roxas' face, confirming Esdeath's words.
"Either way, since you've fucked Roxas, and we've both had our way with him via our mouths and tits..." Esdeath remarked, pulling herself up and straddling Roxas. "I think it's time that I fuck Roxas, don't you think?"
Roxas could only let out another moan as Esdeath slipped his cock (which was STILL erect, to Lavinia's surprise) into her pussy, and began riding it aggressively.
Line Break
"So, this is where we'll be waiting?" Rias remarked, as Roxas and the rest of his peerage (including her) were led into a large, spacious room, a couple of days after the sparring fight between Roxas and Isane. There were several tables and chairs laid about the room with tea and snacks waiting on them.
"Looks like it." Roxas replied, remarking a quick "Thanks" to the bellboy who had led them there. He bowed and retreated, leaving Roxas and his girls alone. Akame was the first to make for the snacks, while Roxas tossed a flask of his blood (which had been extracted the previous day) Akasha's way, which she immediately began drinking from.
"So, what's the plan, Roxas?" Esdeath, who had sat down with Lavinia, asked as she poured tea for herself and the busty blonde sat with her. "For this game, that is?"
"Well, the only things I really know going in are that it's gonna be a regular-type Game." Roxas replied. "The old take-out-the-King type."
"Which means we'll be in a large-ass area of some description." Valian remarked, as she leant herself up against the nearest wall. "That throwing a big spanner in the works for your strategy?"
"Not really." Roxas replied. "Thing is, we don't know what the area we'll be fighting in even looks like, and that'll be a pretty big factor as to how we go about the strategy. I do have a few ideas, though: mainly stick in groups, cover each other's backs, try to retreat on the rare occasion you find yourself in a fight you know you can't win."
"To put it bluntly, that isn't much." Azazel's voice could be heard from the doorway. Roxas looked around to clap eyes on the Fallen Angel in question, who was accompanied by Sirzechs and Grayfia. "Though it's something." he added, by way of greeting.
"Yeah, it is." Roxas replied, a slightly hard tone in his voice. "And what's up?" he added in return, in a more regular voice.
"Wanted a word." Azazel replied. "Fancied filling you in on what's been going on in the aftermath of the whole Kyoto incident on my end. Also, your parents probably wanted to give you words of encouragement, or something. Don't worry, we'll be done by the time your game starts."
"Right." Roxas nodded, looking back at his peerage for a moment before walking out of the room, following Azazel, Sirzechs and Grayfia into the former's private booth. Roxas, Azazel and Sirzechs took seats while Grayfia remained standing right behind Sirzechs, as stoic as ever.
It was almost comical to Roxas, seeing Grayfia as stoic as she was on the outside when he knew how she could really be, specifically in the bedroom. He was sure Sirzechs was thinking the same time, but said nothing as Azazel spoke up.
"I asked Cao Cao a few questions after I got your report from Yasaka about her account of things regarding her kidnapping." the Governer-General of the Fallen Angels explained, summoning a report with a flick of his hand. "He basically confirmed that Hera's been working for the Khaos Brigade for a while, and that the kidnapping was a co-ordinated effort."
He handed the report to Roxas, who took it, looked at the first couple of pages, and proceeded to place it in a pocket-dimension.
"I'll look through it thoroughly later." the Nephalem remarked. "What's being done about the other Hero Faction members? You took five of them, right?"
"I did." Azazel replied. "After talking with them to figure out anything else they knew, it's all in the report by the way, and taking their Sacred Gears, I sent them all to Kyoto so the Youkai Council could deal with them."
"And?"
"And they decided to just put them back at their places of origin." Azazel continued. "And wipe all their memories of the supernatural, so they won't cause any trouble again."
Roxas blinked, and looked over at Azazel with a rather surprised look on his face, one that Azazel met with a neutral expression. He scratched a momentary itch that formed on his leg, and leant back in his chair.
"I also gave their Sacred Gears back to Heaven. Not the True Longinus though, I wanted to run a couple of tests on it."
"Makes sense, but..." Roxas spoke, trailing off slightly for a second before speaking again. "Wiping their memories? Seems a little-"
"Yeah, I know." Azazel replied. "I'd probably have tried to rehabilitate them if it were me, considering that they could be really useful to the world with their respective Sacred Gears, but..." he shrugged. "Was the Youkai's call. And they did what they thought was right."
"Yeah." Roxas replied, nodding and stretching. "We done here?"
"I was just going to ask that." Sirzechs spoke up. "Thanks for letting me in on this info, Azazel, I'll forward it to the other Satans once this Rating Game is over."
"Don't mention it, Zechs." Azazel replied. "And yeah, we're done here. Good luck in your Rating Game, Roxas. Make sure you win, I think it'd make Albedo pretty happy."
"Yeah, I'm sure." Roxas nodded, remembering the supposed head of his fan club. Fuck, that was still a weird concept to wrap his head around. He then stood up and left Azazel's private booth with Sirzechs and Grayfia, the former of whom fell into step alongside him.
"How's Palutena doing, Roxas?" Sirzechs asked. Grayfia sped up a little to get closer to Sirzechs and Roxas, evidently wanting to hear about her daughter-in-law as well.
"Oh, she's good." Roxas replied. "She's as excited to be a mom as I'm sure you are to be grandparents."
"Must be a lot, then." Sirzechs nodded, smiling. "Although, how do you feel about being a dad, Roxas?"
"Uh... scared?" Roxas shrugged, trying to smile himself but not quite managing it. "Fighting powerful shit, fucking beautiful women, I can handle, but being a dad? I have no clue."
"Language aside, it's okay to be afraid, Roxas." Grayfia spoke up for the first time, stepping in between Roxas and Sirzechs and wrapping her arms around her oldest son in a brief, but still warm, hug. "If you need help with anything, and I do mean anything, to do with parenting your future child, whether they'll be a boy or a girl... please don't hesitate to call me. Or your father, on the rare occasion that he isn't busy with work that he SHOULD be doing."
Sirzechs opened his mouth to object to Grayfia's remark, but closed it again, knowing that his wife was right. After a second or two, he opened it again, hitting Roxas with another smile.
"Good luck in your Rating Game, Roxas."
Roxas let out a small chuckle at Sirzechs' reaction to Grayfia's remark, but grinned in return. A quick glance at the time on his phone told him that his Game with Rudiger was to start in five minutes.
"Thanks, Dad." he replied, before turning and walking away.
And that's Chapter 54 of Nephalem finished! Roxas got to practice with his new weapon, got to beat up Isane, got fucked by both Lavinia and Esdeath (that must have been a cool experience for him), and now he's got to face Rudiger fucking Rosenkreutz in a Rating Game.
In other news, the lemon series poll that I've had up for what seems like forever is finally closed, with the foursome with Serafall, Sona and Tsubaki coming out on top. After the next instalment of that series goes out (working on it right now. Should be finished before the end of the month), I'll work on the ones that got the most votes in the poll (Sona/Serafall/Tsubaki, Esdeath/Akeno/Kuroka, Alice, Fianna, etc. Etc.) until I hit the end of this first half of this giant fucking story.
Which will be coming in... I actually don't know the exact number of chapters. *looks at my current plans for chapter-structures, as well as my plans for the last two 'arcs' for this first half* Uh... I'm gonna guess 12 for now? Yeah, I'll have to get back to you all on that in the future.
Anyway, I really hope you enjoyed this chapter. Whether you did or you didn't, please leave a review and let me know, because I really do love hearing feedback, of any kind. If you fancy letting me know about some possible ideas you might have for later in the story, or just have questions for me (because I'll be happy to answer them), let me know in a review, drop me a PM or hit me up on Discord (my name for it is on my profile), Either method works for me!
Next Time: Roxas vs. Rudiger Part 1
Seeya!
