Hal returned to bed and went back into his mind space where he decided to checked in on what had caught his attention earlier but first...

————————–————————————
The {Essence King} ability when paired with the Primordial Cosmic Art was one of Hal's favorites. With it he could improve his Bloodline and the energy from the essence refining process could be further refined by the Primordial Cosmic Art.
According to Grimiore, the Primordial Cosmic Art always evolved to better suit the host as another one of it's advantages. For a battle-crazy freak it became a body strengthening technique and for him it became a dual cultivation type technique capable of even siphoning the Cultivation of another.
With both his bloodline and the Primordial Cosmic Art, he could strengthen his body and Dual cultivate.
The fact that the Grimiore predetermined that he would get to sleep with a lot of women soothed his Ego to no end.
"Nicely arranged, easily accessible. Now for that attention grabber..."
upset victory package: Acquired Equipoise Ability
"Grimiore, what does this mean?" Hal asked
"Every time you achieve something of a 'grand' scale you are awarded an upset victory package. Think of these events as impromptu quest which when completed award you abilities usually fitting the completed tasks"
Hal pressed on it...
-Equipoise:
Are you tired of being told what energy you can or cannot store in your body?. Are you tired of being unable to match up to your peers? Or are you just tired of being normal and mediocre? Well Equipoise can help you change all that. With this ability you can store any type of energy inside your body without fear of repercussions.
(Warning: use wisely and only store energy of your level)
"Why does this seem more like a sales pitch?" Hal wondered
"Nonsense. This is going to be very useful to you"
"Of course it's going to be useful, now I would no longer need your help when storing up astral energy"
Hal became lost in just thinking of the possibilities. For once the grimiore was finally acting like a useful artifact.
After this Hal exited his mind space to cultivate the essence he had received from both Melinda and Valerie, focusing more on his bloodline but while all his available abilities became stronger, no new ability surfaced and no new information did either.
He then revolved the Primordial Cosmic Art to refine the remainder for his cultivation. When he was done his cultivation was at the peak of the ninth stage but his Flesh had longed surpassed that point ensuring that below the mid stage of the cosmic pearl realm, it would take monstrous strength to injure his flesh. His Flesh now rivaled that of a mid stage pearl beast. His Regeneration also now guaranteed a quick mend even if his bones were smashed to pieces.
He rose from the bed stark naked and stretched not entirely surprised to find himself several inches taller.
...
It was a little late in the morning when Melinda woke up after which hal passed the information of the ungraded technique to her, she accepted it without question and instantly refined Hal's essence inside her and found her cultivation at the brink of another breakthrough.
With the help of the Primordial Cosmic Art, the essence passed to Hal's partners were in ready to use form and allowed them to refine it as though they were absorbing Cosmic Energy.
When she was done with the refining and inquired about the technique he waved it off and she decided not to bother about it. She trusted him that much and besides if he had stolen it, all the better.
Instead, She looked him straight in the eyes
"I don't like it" she told him
"Really, what don't you like?" Hal asked and pinched her nipple lightly
She moaned softly but refused to be distracted. Again.
"Are we not together?"
Hal gestured towards their naked form on the bed "Judging by this I will say we are"
"Then you should learn to share your plans with me and indulge me when I worry about such plans"
"But I do that" Hal said and sat up suddenly looking at Melinda with her face down "*sigh* You know, you are getting too clingy. I might have to ditch you"
The seriousness in his voice caused her head to snap up but when she saw him grinning she lifted herself from the bed to sit on his lap, pouting
"You wouldn't dare"
Hal chuckled "maybe not. You are my baby girl, after all"
"Shameless, I'm older than you" she said with a blushed face
"And what does that have to do with anything?" Hal said before filling her in about everything that had happened after he had left the city the day before, including the assassins and the encounter with Valerie and the red garbed lady.
"Seems to me like you just went into the forest to meet chicks" That seemed to be her only takeaway glossing over the assassination attempt.
"What? Are you jealous?" Jealousy was not an attribute he would attest to Melinda and sure enough...
"What's there to be jealous about? On the contrary I need more hands on deck or dick to be more accurate, I don't think I can handle you alone. so it's alright as long as I remain your baby girl"
"I thought you did'nt want to be called that"
She kissed him deeply "I'm warming up to it" another make out session ensued
"So what's your plan now?" She asked once they separated to breathe
"Well, you wanted to be involved, so what do you say to causing a little chaos" Hal trailed suggestively
"Mhm. Sounds like a 'smashing' idea"
...
Payne Estate
Rad listened to the sobs of the woman who had captured his heart and they made his heart burn with rage.
Rita had come to him this morning with a tale of how she had been molested by a masked figure. She was bruised and her clothes torn into rags, she was only lucky that the day was about to break and the assailant left to avoid being caught by witnesses but not before taking the ring that he had given her.
When Rad listened to the tale he felt a little relief, after all it was only one ring, it did not matter to him, at least she had not being defiled. However just thinking of how close this assailant was, he could not help but see red. Rita was his, how dare this mysterious assailant try to claim her body when he had not.
"Grrr. If I ever find out who did this, I will make sure to tear them limb from limb" Rad growled angrily as he consoled Rita who appeared devastated like a lady who had lost her innocence
sob*sob*sob*
However Rita was cringing in her mind "Master, where are you? If you don't come soon, I might kill him myself"
At that time...
Boom!!!
A sound akin to a small explosion sounded and it followed was by a bellow
"RAD PAYNE, YOU DISGUSTING COWARD. SHOW YOURSELF!!"
Report chapter
It had been a relatively peaceful day at the Payne estate. The servants went about their business and as it happened occasionally an argument broke out among two servants with varying ideas about the family values
"I still think selling him into selling him into slavery was a tad bit extreme. At the end of the day they are of the same blood" argued a porky servant vehemently
"What do you know? Master Gregory must have had his reasons. In fact..." A beanpole servant began before shaking his head and stopping abruptly
"In fact what?" Servant porky was curious
"I heard he had a congenital disease that did not allow him to cultivate" Servant bean pole revealed
"So?" Servant porky was now confused
"Well, those can be contagious can't they? If he had stayed here we would all have been infected" servant beanpole said
"So what? You don't cultivate anyway" servant porky snorted
"Well I'd like to know I could. That is a source of pride for me isn't it?" Beanpole was indignant
The argument would most probably have continued if not...
Boom!!
...for the sound of desolation that sounded.
...
Gregory and Lillian's Bedroom
The couple had decided to sleep in, After making certain plans early that morning, Gregory had retreated to the bedroom and soon got Lillian excited and they had spent hours going at it hard and as a result decided to sleep in.
The activity allowed Gregory to relieve a bit of stress and for Lillian to scratch a little of the itch that never seemed to go away completely.
"So it failed huh?" Lillian sighed
"As I knew it would" Gregory said sitting up
"Well this must be a sign to take a step back"
"I don't know if it's a sign but I do have more Important things to worry about that now?"
"Like what?" She asked
"I have been trying to set up a meeting with the Alchemist, but he has been ignoring me"
"Could he have allied himself with other families?"
"According to my spies he has denied the other Great families an audience"
"What of the Plebeian Families"
Other than the Four Great Families who were the top Echelon of Salmon city, there still remained a number of Plebeian Families who had considerable wealth and were above the common man but they were almost totally powerless when faced with the great families. However all that could change if the Alchemist decided to align with one of them. But that seemed unlikely, why build a family from the ground up when you could join an established one.
Alchemy happens to be one of the most prestigious of occupations. It's products helped in advancement of cultivation not to mention other numerous effects their pills had. However just like any prestigious it had preconditions, the most important of which was possessing Di-Astral sense which was paramount in the refining of pills. The profession was so prestigious that while pills were imported into the city, the city did not have an Alchemist of it's own. They came in once in a while but unlike Runemasters, they never settled in Salmon city. But all that for another time.
"No I don't think we have to worry about that. The Alchemist won't stay that long we only need to make a deal with them before they leave" Gregory had no other choice except to be optimistic.
Boom!!!
"What was that?" Lillian sounded worried but a calm bellow...
"RAD PAYNE, YOU DISGUSTING COWARD. SHOW YOURSELF!!"
...would soon follow
"What the...?" Gregory it on his clothes in a rush and ran outside to face the scene of his guards sent backwards with cosmic energy released from the casual wave of of a dainty hand.
The hand belonged to a lady in a tight-fitting lotus patterned dress. The dress emphasized her ample chest and her other eye catching curves. Her face was smooth and perfect with beautiful full lips, trying to determine her age through her face proved impossible (more impossible than usual) for the face that used to look to be in it's early thirties now seemed much younger and mature simultaneously. The woman's entire body exuded a sexual charm.
Not unlike the young man beside her who looked to be 17, his face which should have been recognizable to all those present was however a tad bit different. They had not seen the face in a mere two weeks and would have ordinarily claimed the face's current look was impossible but it was right in front of them, The face was even more handsome, the eyes brighter, the skin lighter and smoother looking and the body of a male sexual predator.
He looked to be a model as opposed to his calm and seemingly casual posture which still made it seem like he was there for combat.
The lady was naturally Melinda and the young man was Hal. All the refining of Hal's essence had done more than just improved her cultivation and she was aware of it.
While most men gawked at her Melinda continued to wake her hand and knock down fences, walls and the occasional guards who stopped gawking at her and actually made an attempt to attack her.
Hal just watched from the sidelines. The guards were mostly at the energy sensing realm and were not a threat to him however what was the point of losing the element of surprise.
Been back in the estate roused feelings in him, mostly pain and rage, a residual of the one who owned the body. He took a deep breath and faced Gregory who had come running out out of his mansion
Bang*Bang*Bang*
More guards thrown backwards by more casual waves. 'Why are they still running forward? It should have been obvious that I am well above their level. It must be stuidity' she decided
Melinda had decided to shed the facade she usually portrayed, just as she was going to ruin the Dane family textile enterprise in salmon city, she was finally going to live for herself. And for her man.
"What is going on here?" Gregory asked in a seething voice as he stared at demolished part of the estate
"Hello Father, did you miss me?" Hal asked adding as much spite as he could into 'Father'
Others finally showed themselves among them was the the butler and Gregory's right hand man, Burt. After him Rad would show up and a look of surprise would cross his face before he would hurry up to smoothen his face and empty it of emotions. Walking behind was Rita with her head bowed
'Master, it is done' she would tell him telepathically
'Well done'
"Miss you? Why would I? You are no son of mine" Gregory said in a tone that could be mistaken for calm
"But I still consider you my father" Hal said emotionally while Melinda rolled her eyes internally
The crowd of servants began to mumur while Gregory's eye twitched at the obvious horseshit but Hal was not done...
"That is why it hurts so much that my brother, my own flesh and blood would actually try to kill me" Hal continued in a tearful voice and yet his eyes remained dry
Gregory was about to flare up when he decided to play along
"Oh really?" He asked
Hal nodded and moved forward to withdrew three spatial pouches and upturned them to release the bodies of the five assassins which had remained trapped in stasis in the inventory and the spatial pouches. He dropped the pouches beside them as well, he had no use for them anymore.
There were some retching as the bodies were revealed covered In blood and one of them was even without it's head.
"What is the meaning of this?" Gregory asked undisturbed
"This are the bodies of the assassins my brother sent after me, I kept them to use to prove my case"
"And what proof do you have that Rad did this" Gregory was still undisturbed. He could not possibly have any evidence
Rad however was beginning to feel a cold chill as Hal withdrew something from his clothes pocket
"He paid with this. Is this enough as proof?" Hal asked raising the Payne crested Ring at viewing height
Silence...
Who in the estate would not know that a ring with the Payne family quest was damning evidence.
However the Silence will not prevail for long as a voice would yell...
"I will kill you!!!"
The outburst broke through the silence and it roused a conversation among the spectating servants. It seemed Rad Payne was getting rid of the farce and accepting the charges, why else would he use those very words?
Of course, while they did not know, It was understandable that Rad lost control of his emotions. He was upset at the unknown assailant and then heard someone call him a coward, then he went outside and discovered it was the very same man he had sent the black vine gang to assassinate. To make matters worse, this same person was apparently the unknown assailant that dared to lay his hands on Rita. He was irate and somebody was going to have to pay.
He made to dash forward after his outburst only to find himself locked in place with cosmic energy and his father's angry words sounded in his ear
"Calm down you idiot"
Gregory could tell that this was a trick, he could see it as such, he just did not understand what the trick was. Why come here to to shed light to the crimes of a member of the Payne family if not for a pound of flesh? And if that was the case was he really here with only Melinda as backup?
Hal on the other hand seemed genuinely surprised
"I knew it was you brother, but I did not expect an admission of guilt so soon"
Rad calmed his anger and snarled but kept said nothing
"Where did you get that ring?" Gregory asked, in all the years Hal had spent in his home (17 years) he had never given him something of such value.
"One of the assassins confessed before he met his end. Unless you want to claim this ring as fake, your son is the mastermind and planned to end my life" Hal said
"And so what? You think anyone cares what happens to a disowned..."
"Ahhhrrrg" a yell interrupted Gregory and taking advantage of Gregory's lapse in concentration Rad broke free and raced towards Hal, he would put an end to his worthless life today
He drew back his fist and as he had done once before he put forth all of his strength behind that punch but unlike before his punch would hit nothing but air as Hal dodged and counter attacked with a punch of his own...
Bam!
...knocking Rad backwards to slam against the stairs at his father's feet
Gasps*
"Are my eyes deceiving me?" Beanpole asked
"No I don't think they are. Young master Hal just punched young master Rad in the face" porky replied his mouth wide in awe
"Since when can the young master cultivate?"
He was not the only one, all around the spectators had their mouth opened Staring at the young man whose figure now seemed unmoving in the violent storm that was his family.
Rad began to get to his feet wiping the blood stain trickling down the side of his lips
"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. You should learn to calm down, I was going to kill you anyway. I came here today for a death match between me and you. We will put an end to everything today" Hal told him with a fiendish smile
"A death match? Do you really think I would allow such a thing? Gregory asked
"Your opinion means nothing" Melinda said and withdrew a scroll from her spatial pouch
"This is an order from the Mayor of salmon city." She announced before she read it out
"Due to the presence of evidence beyond all reasonable doubt. Rad Payne is found guilty of an attempt on the life of Hal Payne for the sake of removing all possibility of not being the Payne family heir and as such if there is no chance of reconciliation, the two will meet in a death match to finally put an end to the squabble. The winner will become the Payne family's sole heir and granted one year of immunity while the loser shall 'swim with the fishes'.
Any form of disobedience shall be seen as rebellion and shall incur the wrath of Salmon city mayor.
Hector Edgar."
She finished with a flourish simply loving the look on Gregory's face, now if Hal would just allow her...
"Preposterous. What Hal Payne? You're not my son" Gregory snarled
"I know that but the mayor and everyone else in the city don't" Hal sighed like all this was just an inconvenience he would have loved to avoid
"You never disowned him. Your actions so far has been interpreted as that of a father who loves one son in preference of the other" Melinda said with a smile and her fist clenched
...
30 minutes earlier
"So what? I'm just supposed to cause a little chaos and a big entrance and that's it?" Melinda was outraged, this had not been all she wanted and she was determined to prove her case as she sat up in bed and her unfettered breasts swayed but alas...
"That's right"
...Hal would remain unmoved
"Grr"
"Now, now don't be upset, I want to do this on my own and you want to be involved so there must be compromises" Hal tried to placate her.
The plan had been relatively simple. Hal would confront Rad with a death match but he did not expect Gregory to accept it just like that so he needed an higher power, and so far in salmon city the highest authority still belonged to the ancient mayor whose strength remains unparalleled in the city and probably in the region of small time cities like Salmon city.
There was only need for one statement and that was to mention the intended death of Gregory's chosen heir and the mayor would readily give the order. However Melinda wanted more and that was to attack Gregory Payne.
Hal would refuse because while Melinda was very talented and very close to the peak of the Cosmic Pearl realm, Gregory Payne was older, more experienced and well past the Cosmic Pearl Realm.
"I just want to spar with him. I'm sure I can cripple him, so what if he's stronger, he has no idea what I'm capable of" she insisted
"You have a skill, don't you?" Hal asked and knew he was right "what grade?"
"Third grade low tier. I was able to steal one from my clan" she replied
"Mhm. Impressive. But still no"
From the Third grade, skills were divided into tiers and an attempt to use a mid tier or higher before the cosmic armament realm was akin to suicide, it also happened to be in short supply making it so that the whole of salmon city elites probably had no skill higher than the second grade.
Skills could very well make up the difference especially against someone still at the early stage of the cosmic armament realm. However Hal had no interest in taking Gregory's life now and surely not by proxy.
...Back to the present
Melinda squeezed her fist in frustration, how she would love to be involved in a squabble with the Payne family head now
"Then I will do it now, I will disown him" Gregory said with conviction
"You should probably hold out until the end of the death match, of course by then, there will no longer be any real need" Hal chuckled
"I thought I said this 'death match' will not happen"
"Of course it doesn't have to as long as there is 'reconciliation' at which point Rad apologizes to me publicly and you allow me to return to the payne estate as your heir. Either way, I win" Hal yawned as he stretched
Gregory's face turned red in an instant, caught between His hatred for Hal and giving Hector Edgar the ammunition needed to ruin him, he saw one compromise...
"No. Gregory don't" Lillian shrieked when she saw his look of conviction but he ignored her
"Rad, make sure you put an end to his life today"
Hal's smile turned fiendish as a reddish glint appeared in his deep blue eyes.
Report chapter
"Yes Father" Rad said with his fist clenched.
Inwardly, Hal shook his head as he was well aware of Rad's true motives and while he could appreciate the sentiment he could not help but feel a little...pity for his misguided feelings.
"I will give you Ten minutes to prepare" Hal said with a wave of his hand
Rad paused "what?"
"I came here relatively prepared, you were not and besides this is not a spar but a battle to the death you need to be as confident as you can be"
Ten minutes later the two would face off with Burt in their middle
"As this is to the death everything is allowed and the battle will only end after one of you has bitten the dust" after which he said to Rad "Good luck young master"
Rad gritted his teeth "I don't need it. I am going to kill him"
Burt stepped back as Hal smiled
"Okay then, I will allow you to hit me. Give it your best shot"
Looks of shock appeared on the faces of everyone present, was this not as good as suicide? Melinda opened her mouth to caution but then decide against it 'He must know what he's doing' she thought
Rad on the other hand couldn't care less about Hal's motives and instantly launched an attack. True to his words Hal crossed his hands behind his back and the punch landed squarely on his chest
Bam!
...and Hal slid backwards but remained on his feet. Rad didn't stop and instead follow up with a kick that while painful had no visible effect on Hal's skin
'Impressive, I'm sure I can simply stand around and let him hit me and still not bleed' he thought
'Congratulations' Grimiore yawned
'Why thank you, Grimiore'
Hal then faced Rad "my turn"
He said before going after his opponent and landing a barrage of punches that began to make Rad wheeze, then he stopped and moved back
"I need you to breathe, this can't end now" he said
Many cringed at his shamelessness, others laughed at his overconfidence. Rad withdrew pills and gulped them down to begin mending his wounds but the pills won't be able to take effect before Hal would be in front of him with his fist raised...
The pills however gave Rad the clarity to dodge the arrack and react with one of his own and at the same time raise his leg for a kick causing Hal to leap backwards to avoid the two attacks.
The servants saw the battle as very impressive but those well past the Energy sensing realm saw it for what it really was and what Hal saw it as. Child's play.
This child's play however would determine whether Rad would get his 'vengeance' or lose his life so he took it quite seriously.
The two exchanged a few more blows before Rad withdrew a flaming red colored pill and swallowed it
He then smiled in a gloating manner "Everything is allowed right?, Let's see how you handle this"
His skin began to glow bright red and his cultivation base began to rise with obvious strain to his physique...
Energy sensing realm peak of the ninth stage
Cosmic pearl realm early stage
...to stop at the edge of the Cosmic pearl realm mid stage
"Why would you give him that pill" Lillian would berate her husband knowing full well that the side effects of the flame maniac pill.
It could boost his fighting ability for a while but when it wore off the consequences would be quite grave if death could be avoided a long time on the mend was for certain. It was a rank two pill and Rad's body could barely make use of it's full effects which meant that for him the consequences would be worse.
When Hal faced the energy Rad gave off, he became cautious as this qualified as 'monstrous' strength burnt the surprises were far from over...
Rad snarled "How do you like that, you bastard?
1st grade skill: Dag Arrowhead"
The atmosphere became occupied with spinning sounds as a long thin blue arrowhead that actually resembled a skewer formed in mid-air and approach Hal at blinding speed.
This was the second time Hal would be facing a skill but unlike the last time, his opponent was not in a daze and while Rad was making use of borrowed energy, his energy and control over the skill was quite stable.
The arrowhead advanced at a speed that Hal could not dodge and as he could not yet harness cosmic energy he could not block or make use of a defensive skill. The moment the skill got close to him it detonatad destroying everything around and causing dust to rise
-puchi-
Rad finally caved to the effects of using the skill and fall to one knee as he spat out blood but his smile was ever present.
He had done it
He had killed his brother!
The bastard who dared to lay his hands on his woman!
Melinda face was blank and without emotion but it was betrayed by her shaking hand.
Gregory felt ecstatic. Finally he would no longer have a reminder of that face that always plagued...
"What is that?" A spectating servant asked as the dust cleared up and a dome of Blue astral energy revealed itself with Hal seated at the center with barely any wounds
'Damn it. Why did it have to be a detonating spell?' Hal groaned
He had been focused on blocking a centered attack and had used the little astral energy he had stored in his body to block the arrow. There had not been enough time to use a rune and he had not expected the explosion but he was nothing if not thorough and at least left enough around him for his protection.
"Hooow?" Rad howled in anger as he rose to his feet to muster enough strength for another skill after all he could survive one but could he possibly survive two but by then Hal had vanished and soon appeared before him, grabbing the back of his head and smashing his face into the ground
Bam!!!*
"Arrrhhg" Rad yelled with a smashed face and then Hal dug his knee into his ribs breaking a couple and stuffed a piece of torn cloth to stifle the screams as he went to punishing him.
Hal faced Gregory directly and his eyes went red as a voice screamed in his ear
–Blood–Blood–BLOOOOOD!!!–
A stifling killing intent spread out from him as he was once again submerged in his soul world which remained as black as ever but there was now a strong scent of blood knocked him back to the outside.
Back on the outside, he methodically went after the places he could hurt Rad the most, and then as suddenly as it began it stopped, his eyes returned to their normal blue and the chilling killing intent vanished like it had never been there.
Rad's body dropped lifelessly to the floor and Hal wiped his hands on a clean strip of cloth, look up at Gregory and smile fiendishly.
Gregory's eyes went bloodshot and he summoned a large purple broadsword with a blade half a foot wide that seemed semi transparent
His Cosmic Armament!
The Cosmic Armament realm was another level altogether from the preceding realms and it was the same for all the cultivation realms. Take the cosmic pearl realm for example, it supposedly only has four stages but it would still take some their whole lifespan to advance all four stages while those who could advance with lifespan to spare were geniuses. More on that later.
Gregory unleashing his cosmic armament meant one thing; To hell with Hector Edgar's order
His rage was at it's peak, once again he,was foiled. Why would things simply not go his way? Well, no more, he would end it now, not to mention the look Hal had given him before he killed Rad worried him and convinced him that if he did not kill Hal now, he would one day envy his son's death.
He made to attack but would soon be intercepted by a wave of cosmic energy, the source of which was Melinda, he sneered, Did she really believe the attack of this level could stop him? A swing of the broadsword and he was free again.
Gregory knew that at this moment he could afford disobeying the mayor, his anger was after all recent but if Hal could survive and leave the estate he would gain immunity for a year which really means Gregory will not be able to make an attempt on his life until Hector reached the end of his lifespan in a few months and was no longer mayor.
He dashed towards Hal as soon as he was no longer encumbered by Melinda's cosmic attack and made to attack but a wall of energy the shape of a beetle shell will block him, the source of the skill was someone he had never deemed truly worthy of his attention
Rita.
His shock would only last a second as he drew back the broadsword and attacked the shield again while simultaneously directing a cosmic attack at Melinda who dodged. Gregory's attack with the broadsword sprawled web like cracks that were testament to the shield's weakening integrity.
"Think before you act, Gregory. Doing this would hurt you..." Melinda began
Bang!*
Another strike would break the shield and Gregory would once again advance towards Hal only to find himself facing two cosmic energy attacks that he was able to swat away, he was close enough and fast enough that Hal gave up on dodging. He could not avoid the broadsword completely anyway.
So he withdrew a defensive rune as fast as he could in attempt to ward off the attack but still felt it was hopeless
'Shit. I hate this feeling' he grumbled to grimiore
'If you still have the time to complain, at least make a commitment to try and advance your battle strength' Grimiore told him seemingly unconcerned
Their mental link allowed for their conversation to barely last a second but it was enough for Gregory to completely cross the space, however when he raised his broadsword for an attack a calm aged voice spread about the whole city...
"ONE YEAR IMMUNITY!"
...and froze Gregory in his path allowing Hal to slip away and for Melinda to point at Gregory
"Third grade skill: shooting stars"
A number of stars composed of cosmic energy would emerge from out of a three circled ring and shoot towards Gregory to explode on impact.
The attack would catch him off guard and throw him backwards into a fence that would collapse on top of him allowing for the trio to make a getaway for the carriage waiting outside.
When he would pull himself out of the rubble all he could see was Lillian cradling the body of Rad, the shocked expressions of the servants and the body of the guards who had tried to stop the trio's escape. He wanted to yell but somehow he could not. He had no one to blame but himself.
...
"Master, are you alright?" Rita asked the instant the carriage pulled away
"Mostly" Hal smiled as he rubbed his midsection. Outwardly he was barely injured but he had still incurred some internal injuries but it was nothing he could not bare with
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Melinda would ask from his other side
"Oh yes. Melinda, this is Rita my contracted ally" Hal said
"Contracted?" Melinda was confused
Hal explained what had happened the night before (Blaming it all on his unique bloodline which wasn't really a lie) and Rita withdrew a scroll from within her clothes. This was the main reason Hal needed her back in the Payne Estate for a while...
"Master. The map" she said and handed it to him
Hal unfurled it and took a quick scan before smiling and sending it into his inventory he smiled at her
"Good work" and to Melinda he said "This is a map that reveals the location of my father's private force. His true elites"
"So I imagine you didn't want this scroll with his best intentions at heart" Melinda said smirking
"No I did not. However I am not strong enough just yet, I cannot really proceed with my plans until I advance to the cosmic pearl realm" Hal said
"That should be a breeze. With me helping you" she said quietly into his ear
"Sigh. Unfortunately I cannot take a shortcut when advancing to the Cosmic pearl realm. I need to actively form my cosmic pearl"
If he was already in the cosmic pearl realm, he could use essence to further his cultivation but he would need to first create his cosmic pearl. The Energy sensing realm made the cultivators body stronger in preparation for the storing of cosmic energy. The Cosmic pearl realm on the other hand involved harnessing cosmic energy and forming a pearl of about 3cm in diameter (1.1 inch) (at the early stage) in the abdomen for storing cosmic energy, the pearl would continue to grow bigger and purer ensuring that the body grows stronger and the size and purity of cosmic energy stored increases as well.
When they arrived at the mansion Hal would retreat to his room to heal his wounds and to make further progress towards the cosmic pearl realm.
The two ladies would however sit in the lounge sizing each other up.
Rita would readily call Hal master but she believed her status should be no less than Melinda's. Melinda however had no interest in a squabble, quite contrary, she saw a kindred in Rita, they were after all in the same age group and while she believed she would never be jealous of Hal's other women, not all of them would take so kindly to her. And so she needed allies.
A few exchanged words and the two would hit it off, maybe they were not best friends yet but at least they could coexist.
Back in his room...
Hal let his bloodline ability Regeneration do it's work while he focused on the Primordial Cosmic Art and was shocked to realize it would be even harder for him to advance than the average individual because he would not be starting with the standard 3cm (1.1inch) but with 5cm (1.8) and of much purer quantity.
His Bloodline improvement seemed slow as well, pending his advancement to the cosmic pearl realm. This was his primary goal; To find out everything he could about his bloodline and in doing so, hopefully find out out who he truly was.
Since he could not try advancement now, he decided to visit his soul world which was still dark (seemingly) with his bloodline but he could still perceive the scent of blood but just like before he could not locate the source just like he could not locate the source of the lullaby.
"Just how many mysteries are lurking inside my body" He mumbled before he heard a whisper
"What?" He said as he strained to hear and then the whisper became clearer
"Call my name..."
Salmon city
A city under the Kirsten Barony. While foreigners believed it insignificant, it's denizens understandably did not. The news that rocked their city today was the death of a member of a great Family and the involvement of the Mayor.
What really caused the most surprise was the killer.
"Since when did Rad Payne have a brother?"
"Where the hell has this 'brother' been?"
"It must have been an ambush"
This were some of the questions and statements on people's lips. Ever since Hal began to live in the Payne estate when he was a year old, no one knew he existed.
Of course they couldn't be blamed for the oversight as Hal would be kept in the estate all the time and as he aged he would judge the world the same way he judged his 'family' trying his possible best to stay out of the public eye.
Occasionally, as it was unavoidable, news would leak out but there would be no credibility to such news and they would be dismissed as rumors. After all No one in his right senses would try to hide the fact that they belonged to a Great family. That was a status that came with many advantages all aimed at comfort and wealth. However the truth was now too undeniable and the one they had once overlooked had stolen his fist victim and no one felt it would be his last.
Edgar Castle
One of the landmarks in salmon city, a testament to the wealth and power that the Edgar family have controlled for centuries.
Through all that time, their dominance remained unchallenged. Unfortunately their illustrious reign was heading to a close. The patriarch was nearing the end of his lifespan and while he had children and grandchildren and in some cases even great grandchildren, they were all mediocre and couldn't break through the shell to rise above their generation and be extraordinary.
With all visible hairs white and his skin wrinkled, Hector Edgar sat on a makeshift throne in a long hall that seemed to be a throne room and his cheek rested on his fist as he contemplated his family's future without him. Without the cushy support they always seemed to have.
Take Alexander for example, he was Hector's favorite grandchild and while he kind of lived up to expectations, it was not enough. He spent too much of his time with that Horst girl. A girl known as a genius because of how quickly she rose to the Cosmic pearl realm and catching the eye of a master in a sect.
Bah! This were of no consequence to Hector, he did not really have the ambition to leave a place where he was mighty for a place where he was just 'another one'. Alexander used to cultivate constantly to impress Amelia but would relent when he discovered that in this city he had no rival for her attention.
Idiot! That's what Hector called him because he had forgotten that he would soon become just another one of the many suitors Amelia Horst would have.
The reason for this was relatively simple. The Energy sensing realm was usually a breeze, Many broke through before they were in their thirties, the real doosie begins after that. Even with a Purple ranked technique (AN Highest cultivation technique grade, for reference see chap 5) it might still take most of their lifespan for an advancement in the Cosmic pearl realm in face of poor talent.
Just because there are four stages would give an illusion of speed but advancing realms was a fairly difficult process and each granted dominion over previous stage. So right now Alexander and those in Amelia's sect were mostly equal, the real difference would appear years from now as they progress across the cultivation realms.
And this was why Hector saw him as an idiot, women were for later, trying to start a family before the peak stage of the cosmic pearl realm is very uncommon and only done by those satisfied to live an ordinary life.
"Father. you seem distressed" the middle aged man before Hector said with a curious expression, he was Hector's eldest son and Alexander's father, Darryl.
Hector sighed "I am worried"
"About the family?" Darryl asked
Another sigh from Hector that he took as yes, his father always did this, worry about their family and neglecting that even after his death Darryl and his brothers would make sure to keep the family's power in the family, he tried to voice this out as he had done many-a-times but...
"I know what you want to say, but you are much too young to understand my plight" At 300 years old Darryl was really quite young compared to the 800 year old demon that was his father.
Unlike his late peers Hector had valued cultivation more than anything else and would refuse to start a family until he was 500 and as a result would even outlive his wife and those same peers holding his Mayoral title for 500 years after inheriting it from his father.
No one in the Edgar family had ever been this strong and from the looks of things, no one ever would.
"You are too care free. However I know you have tried your best, it just hasn't been enough, so I will do my best to assist you before I am gone" Hector continued in a steady voice that did not match his visage
"Is that why you got involved in the Payne family issue" Darryl asked with clenched fists. He always hated his inability to help
"Not entirely. The young man presented his case and I was intrigued, I wondered what he could accomplish if he was allowed to go the distance. Sigh. A shame I might never get to see his hopefully illustrious deeds. Heh heh" Hector chuckled
Darryl's fist loosened from surprise "you were not trying to attack the Payne family?"
"gods no. If I was, why would I announce the victor as the Family's heir and grant him immunity. No I simply wanted to give justice. That is the main duty of the mayor after all, is it not?"
If only Hal knew his plan did not really succeed on disputes but on a sense of 'Justice'. He might lose his mind from anger.
Hector was silent for a while before he said "if we are unable to enlist the services of the alchemist, I would prefer that noone in the Edgar family try to become Mayor. Leave it to the the other great families and anyone else interested in participating so you can bid your time"
Then he looked up and said in a melancholic voice "A storm is coming to the city. and I would much rather prefer it if none of you are caught in it"
...
Melinda's mansion
Hal walked out of the room in new clothes feeling healed and refreshed, he believed with a little perseverance, he would soon advance to the cosmic pearl realm. But of course that was all for later.
The sight he met in the lounge would surprise him for a while as Melinda and Rita were laughing to God knows what. A story had apparently just been told and the two were chuckling when he first arrived and would not notice him until he spoke
"Good to see you two getting along" he smiled
"Where are you off to?" Melinda asked looking up
"Master Swanson's shop, I won't be long" he said with a wave of his hand
"Master, can I come with you?" Rita asked
"Another time, Rita" he told her and she pouted at his back
"Do be careful" Melinda called after him
"When am I not?" He chuckled as he walked past castor who was delivering news or maybe he was just there to announce someone, and walked outside to come face to face with a man he could vaguely recognize from the slave auction.
"Lord Krast..."
The man's face would however hold a derisive sneer.
Report chapter
Edvard Krast was the youngest Great family head in Salmon city today and most probably of all time. Now ordinarily that would not have meant much however this man was so talented that he was rumored to not be disadvantaged against older powerhouses like Ford Horst and Gregory Payne.
The Krast forces also did not lose out when compared to the other families, Edvard had been handed the position of family head when his father had acknowledged his superior talent.
But he was no where near perfect. Looking like a man in his early forties and in the same age group as Melinda and Rita, Edward Krast was quite an handsome man with brown hair and pitch black eyes but he was also a snake.
His most common betrayals and atrocities involved turning against 'friends' so as to sleep with their women. He had an healthy sex drive and while he had no interest in starting a family yet he was quite satisfied with ploughing the fields so to speak.
Edvard Krast was a frequenter at the slave house so as to pick new sex slaves preferably those with cultivation because 'they don't break easy'.
When Hal laid eyes on him, he could tell that he was a sadistic man. Normally there weren't many things Hal disliked about Edvard. Sleeping with other people's (people because they were not always husbands) wives was something he had done before and what was a little sadistic play among consenting adults, there would after all always be a safe word.
The part where he drew the line was the obvious antisocial behavior and urge to hurt women. For hal that will always be a no-no. Also Edvard had always had his eye on Hal's woman and this was a HUGE no-no.
Edvard had come alone after all bringing along guards for such a short trip was mostly just useless extravagence. Not to mention that been faster than them, they would only slow him down. Hal Calling him Lord Krast was simply a reflex as he did not consider Edvard a lord.
"So it's Melinda's boy toy" Edvard said in a jeering voice but his eyes would widen when Hal would bow graciously with a proud and relaxed smile
"Thank you for the praise. However I would advice you not to mention that to Melinda when you see her" After that Hal would turn and walk away not giving Edward a second glance.
What he had said was genuine advice, while his heart always teemed with joy to be called a boy toy, after all a boy toy's main job was to give pleasure to women and it surely pleased his ego to be pursued by women. However Melinda seemed to hate the term and believed it derogatory, it was not in Edvard's best interest to mention it.
Edvard clenched his fist but by then castor would return and lead lead him into the lounge where Edvard would see not one but two beauties, the one he knew was Melinda was so much more beautiful that he had to gulp when he saw her, the other lady was beautiful as well, the fact that she turned away in obvious disinterest only excited him more.
"Lady Melinda, you look stunning as always" he said with a slight bow, He could not afford to lose control now not when there was not one but two fishes to be caught.
"To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit" was it just his imagination or was Melinda more confident now?
"I heard you were involved in the events that occurred at the Payne estate and I was merely curious for your wellbeing" He said with a smile that should have screamed sincerity but Melinda saw through it like a mask but she reassured him of her safety with a smile.
Seeing as that was played out Edvard decided to inquire why
"Why else? I did it to assist my man" She replied in a casual tone of voice that seemed to hit him hard
"What man? That boy toy?" Edvard was enraged and neglected Hal's advice
The atmosphere became cold as a chilling killing intent spread out from Melinda but she calmed down and reined it in
'Damn it, I need to control myself' she cautioned
Ever since the incident at the Payne estate, little things seemed capable of setting her off
When Edvard felt the killing intent he felt a cold sweat but before he could pinpoint which woman it was from, it was gone so he shook it off
"His name is Hal and I would prefer your respect" She said in a strained voice
Rita was bored and a little downhearted that her master had not wanted her company but when she felt the killing intent, she perked up, things were about to get interesting.
"Respect? What makes him different from the others?" Edvard would ask in annoyance
"There were no others. He was the only one. I always set my slaves free I only bought them to give credibility to the rumors and keep you off my back as long as I could" Melinda sneered
"You tricked...me?" Suddenly Edvard felt stifled, He usually preferred virgins and to discover that Melinda had been one before it was stolen recently by this...
"You gave what should have been mine to... A boy toy?" He snarled but the chilling killing intent was back and before he could react...
SMACK!!!
...he felt a stinging pain on his cheek which sent him sinning into a wall
Melinda's face was slightly deranged yet captivating "call him that one more time and I...will...kill...you!"
...
"I told him so" Hal said as he heard the slap sound coming from the mansion.
He was taking his time and strutting with swagger so it was understandable that he was still close enough to hear the loud smack.
"Sigh. If only he listened to me"
'What sigh? You obviously wanted him to get hurt' Grimiore piped
'Well of course I did but why should my baby girl have to be the one to do it' Hal replied telepathically
'Would you prefer Rita do it?' Grimiore asked
'Sigh. If I had my way, my women would not have to bother with such menial things' Hal said
'Then add that to your list of goals' Grimiore told him
Hal mentally nodded and this day would be the one that Hal would make the conscious decision to build an eternal reign for the ease and pleasure of he and his women where their words would be law!
'Oy, stop daydreaming. 'Your word is law?'. You are far from there' Grimiore dragged him back to reality
'I know, I know. But it sure is fun to think about' Hal chuckled
...
Master Swanson was upset, and who could blame him?, his apprentice of merely two days had accomplished a deed that rocked the city and yet he had no prior knowledge of it. He was caught completely off-guard. Said apprentice had claimed he was going to seclude himself just the day before and was at the 3rd stage of the Energy sensing realm. How he could go from the Third stage to the Ninth stage in one day was shocking enough but he also went ahead and killed Rad Payne who happened to be his brother.
This went against Swanson's principles, he would attack when attacked but he never saw a reason for violence and did his best to avoid it. He had wanted Hal to fight his own battles but he had never wanted things to spiral to such an extent.
"Sigh. What a troublesome apprentice" he mumbled quietly
"Thinking about me?, I'm flattered" said a smiling voice in his ear
Master Swanson raised his head knowing full well who the voice belonged to.
"I never thought I would make such a big impression so soon, it's quite gratifying" Hal continued as he sat before master Swanson pulled a cup and allowed himself to be served clarifying tea.
'Why exactly did you come back here?' Grimiore sighed
Hal smiled wryly 'I need to keep up appearances, I don't need people knowing I have no real need for a teacher'
'So this is a facade?' Grimiore said
'What do you think?' Hal retorted
"You have every right to do as you please..." Master Swanson began in a barely contained tone
'I feel a lecture coming, no appearance is truly worth this. It's time for a compromise' Hal decided and...
Smack!!*
...He hit his hand on the table to stop Swanson's tirade
"Swanson. I have a proposition for you"
Report chapter
"A proposition? What's are you talking about?" Swanson asked confused
"I no longer want you as my master" Hal said and Swanson was shocked
"What?"
"You heard what I said"
When swanson opened his mouth to speak Hal raised a hand in bid for silence "Hear me out. I would have loved to keep up this charade but I can't. I needed a Master yesterday but I don't need one anymore and that actually has nothing to do with you. It's a personal decision I have taken.
"However I would still prefer you claim me as your apprentice in public, but between you and me it won't be so"
Swanson could not believe his ears, he had planned to mold Hal into a brilliant rune-master, one that could potentially reach an higher rank than him one he could pass on his knowledge to and lead on to join the Astral Palace, but here he was getting rejected.
"Sigh. If that is what you want, I will cooperate with you"
"Thank you. To show my gratitude, I will give you an Astral sense refining art, with it you will go past Rank 3 and most probably higher" Hal said and Swanson's eyes widened
"No, you couldn't possibly have that"
"Oh but I do. Why do you think I no longer want a master, I now have a seemingly endless pool of resources and I would prefer to be self taught" Hal said and pointed his index finger at the ceiling
A royal blue astral rune (wind) appeared on top of it, the energy from the rune identified it as a Rank 2 rune, it revolved and turned into a blue gust of wind
Not for the first time that day, Swanson's eye widened and his jaw dropped as he stared at the wind till it vanished into the air
"A-a-astral projection. How could you be able to do that?" Swanson asked
Hal on the other hand had expected a reaction but not for the same reasons. He had only done that little demonstration to show how he ranked up in a single day as for the Astral projection, he had simply done it for convenience, who would have thought it was such a big deal.
After he saw the red garbed lady using it, he became curious and after a few tries was successful, he actually found it quite easy.
"I saw someone do it and decided to try it" He told Swanson
"Who was it?" Swanson asked
"I don't know" Hal shrugged
Swanson furrowed his brow
"Why is this a big deal?" Hal asked
Swanson sighed "What you just did was Astral projection, and it is very difficult not to mention dangerous" He stretched his hand and used astral projection as well and for the same wind rune
Hal wrinkled his brow, it didn't seem dangerous to him
"Using this skill allows astral energy to pass through the human body, but the human body should not hold astral energy so the higher the rank the more dangerous Astral projection could be, same reason why it's difficult and takes at least a month of constant, careful practice" Swanson explained
'Of course it won't hurt me. My body already holds astral energy thanks to {Equipoise}, which also explains why it's so easy for me'
'Have you forgotten me?. Of course I would warn you if it were dangerous' Grimiore said
'Of course you would' Hal agreed
"Exactly where are you from, Swanson?" Hal asked
"I used to be a member of the Astral palace. The greatest sect for Rune-masters, second only to the Royal academy. I planned for you to eventually go there" Swanson replied
'Royal Academy, huh. That place seems important' Hal thought
"Why are you no longer there?" He asked. Hal knew the other rune masters in the city were from the city, they traveled out of the city and found masters, became Rank 2 rune-masters and returned to the city to make money from it. They asked for a lot of money from their 'apprentices' but rarely ever taught them anything. Swanson despises them. Hal couldn't care less, if they had swindled him, it would have been another story, but of course that was only if they could.
Swanson on the other hand was a man of principle, a man of order and his strict respect for order and the way things should be was what had gained him respect of everyone in the city including the mayor. So Hal always suspected a much higher upbringing.
"I don't want to talk about it" Swanson replied
"*Sigh*. very well, you don't have to"
'Grimiore, I want an astral sense refining technique, one for someone of his level' Hal asked mentally
'Same principle as the cultivation techniques apply' Grimiore told him
'Fine' Hal replied and exchanged 1000 gold coins for the technique
After which he tapped Swanson's forehead to transfer the information. As Swanson reviewed the technique, he was filled with awe.
"Incredible, how did you...? You know what? Don't tell me I'm just glad you shared it with me" Then he lowered his head and sighed
"This is worth note than my cooperation. This is probably worth a hundred thousand Gold coins maybe even more" He said and Hal's eyes lit up but he covered up quickly
'I hope it's worth it' he thought
"All I want in return is your friendship" he said with a benevolent smile
'Shameless' Grimiore yelled in his mind space so loudly that Hal winced
'Would you keep it quiet' Hal snarled
"You have it" Swanson said and held out his hand for a shake
"Thank you Swanson" Hal shook his hand
"Eugene. My name is Eugene Swanson" Eugene said
"Very well. Thank you Eugene" Hal corrected
"We should toast to this new friendship" Master Swanson said before using Astral projection to draw a rune which he used to summon the plump manager who also happened to be his butler.
"What do you need, Master Swanson" The manager asked when he arrived
"Serve some celebratory drinks. I need to celebrate my new..." Was all Hal heard as he entered his soul world and the smell of blood still pervaded the air
The whisper was back
"Call my name..."
"No I won't" Hal said, although it lasted barely a second Hal felt surprise emanating in his soul world
"Why not?" The voice said on a steady voice
"Oh so you can say more?"
"Why not?" The voice repeated
"Because I don't know your name, you dimwit" Hal was getting impatient and he did not particularly care for being dragged back in here against his wishes.
"Oh.." The voice went silent and after a while Hal realized the conversation was over and returned to the outside where Swanson was looking worried obviously, he had called Hal a few times and found him irresponsive.
"Are you alright?" He asked
"I'm fine" Hal tried to be casual but he was quite annoyed, he didn't appreciate being ignored.
Report chapter
After spending a little more time with Eugene, Hal returned to the mansion, if he wanted to breakthrough to the cosmic pearl realm soon, he would to dedicate a lot of time to it.
This world was too strength based and while that could be fun and liberating, it could bite you in the ass if you were on the weak side.
When he arrived at the mansion, he met a visitor that had apparently been waiting for him
"Amelia? What brings you here?" He asked
For Amelia Horst stood before the mansion and from the looks of things, she must have arrived not long before
"You told me you were going to increase your strength but you had a death match instead?" Amelia was irate
"I didn't lie to you" Hal smiled and allowed his cultivation base to show that his strength had indeed increased
"You went from the third stage to ninth stage in less than two days. That can't be good for your foundation" She said sounding worried
"It's fine, I have my ways" Hal assured her
"Humph. I'm sure they must be perverted ways" she said
"Actually, they are" he told her candidly
Dual cultivation techniques exist, they were mainly a pleasurable way to advance and did not necessarily make cultivation faster. But hearing admit it convinced her that he was a dual cultivator. She found him more appealing.
"Why not take a walk with me? Melinda has a nice flower garden" Hal said and led the way with Amelia following behind
"So Melinda is your partner. Is she any good?" She wanted to make it sound like a joke but it still came out with genuine curiosity
"It's a combined effort" Hal said with a smirk
"Did you really have to kill Rad, he was still your brother" Amelia said she couldn't care less about Rad but she knew taking a life could not be easy.
Hal on the other hand had felt no different
"He tried to kill me" He shrugged while adding 'twice' mentally and then stopped.
"Why exactly are you here?" He asked her
"To see how you were doing" Amelia said in a quiet voice
"Lie. Or at least, half truth" Hal said and wrapped his hand around her slim waist and pulled her towards himself.
Amelia did not struggle for this was where she wanted to be. Instead she wrapped her hands around his neck and breathed in his scent, the one that had pervaded her senses since the day before, the reason she was truly there, the reason she was ready to put herself in his hands...
"Tell me" he insisted and trapped her with his sapphire blue eyes (sapphire is deep blue in colour so I will use them interchangeably) as he smiled at her
"I want you to kiss me..."
...
Inside the mansion,
Rita was fuming. After Edvard Krast was gone the two had a laugh at his expense but it would not be long before they would have another visitor, while she waited patiently for Hal but Hal had already returned but did not even come in to see her. The night before had ignited her feelings and craving for pleasure and Hal had so far ignored her and was now taking a walk with some lass.
Melinda was simply smirking, enjoying Rita's silent rage, as she sipped some expensive tea and tossed the financial reports of Dane textiles into the flames encased in a fireplace type structure beside her
"Would you relax? You were with him just last night, you can hold on while he talks to the girl" Melinda said with a smile
Rita took a deep breath "Have you ever drank his man juice?" She asked not bothering to keep her voice down and causing the maid to blush deeply
"No, is it good?" Melinda asked curious
"The best. The taste is incredible. It feels like a drug. Actually I am convinced it is a slow acting aphrodisiac, the longer I stay close to him the more horny I became..."
The maid was now as red as an apple
"...if I don't do him soon, I might go insane. You'be done it with him, it must have been good right?" She said
"Words are not enough, you will have to feel it yourself" Melinda said
"Oh, I can't wait"
You could fry an egg on the maid's right now and she quickly excused herself to cool down.
"Just an heads up, I might butt in on your time with him" Melinda announced
"Don't you dare. I want it to be me and him alone. At least for my first time"
Melinda could understand that.
"No, I won't kiss you" Hal said
"Why not?" Rejection did not sit right with her
"Because, I can't always be the one doing the work. You have to do your part, so why don't you kiss me instead"
"Rogue" Amelia said before stretching the few inches that made the difference in their heights and kissed him
The kiss was gentle at first but it soon turned heated as she pulled him harder into it, slowly her lips parted and the pervert took advantage
Snaking his tongue into her mouth and began a battle for dominance in her mouth, a battle he won. Amelia being of an higher cultivation than him used all her strength in a bid to reduce any little space between them into nothing
She needed no air. He was her air and the more their tongues battle the more excited she bacane and soon wanted to get rid of her clothes
They were an obstruction!
Hal's hand snaked low and he grabbed her ass
"Mmmh" she moaned into the kiss before Hal's hands came on her shoulder and pushed her back.
She had no intention of letting go but felt so lightheaded she couldn't muster any strength to resist
"Brilliant kissing. You seem to be getting better at it" Hal chuckled and Amelia blushed
"I had a pervert to guide me" She said as she snaked her hand into his shirt.
"Well you have been a fantastic student"
...
Amelia spent a little more time at the mansion before returning home. After which Hal briefly visited his mind space
"Why not seal the deal?" Grimiore could not help but ask when Hal stood before it in the Star lit mind space
"I want to ease her into it, and I have note pressing matters to tend to. I need a method to speed up my cultivation"
"Oh, so you're a tease"
"Exactly"
Already the Primordial Cosmic Art was already incredibly swift in terms of cultivation speed and cleared all potential bottlenecks however, Hal was far from satisfied and as such needed to pose the question to Grimiore
"The most direct manner would be a time warping array" Grimiore informed him
"Well then let me have it"
Report chapter
"Would you like an instruction on how to make one or by a readily made one" Grimoire asked
"I guess the instructions are cheaper" Hal said
"In essence they are"
"I doubt I am strong enough to make one so let's have the readily made one" He said
"Alrighty" An hologram appeared and on it Hal was able to view the ones available. Most of the arrays were locked abs he was only allowed to redeem one of them
"Why are this locked?" Hal asked although he could take a guess
"Because they are beyond your level. This is the one you can use for now"
Hal nodded, His guess had been correct, after which he spent 10000 gold coins to buy the array which would speed up time inside the array by 10 and so a day on the outside would be Ten on the inside.
Hal then went inside the mansion to select the biggest room to set up the array in. When he got to the lounge, Melinda was smiling while Rita was pouting
"Is she gone?" Melinda asked
"Yes she is" Hal said and made to leave on his scouting when Rita blocked his way
"Master are you very busy?" She asked with what she hoped was a sultry smile
"I was planning to do something but it can surely wait, you come first my dear" Hal said and took her hands leading her to his room
Rita was practically skipping along with joy. The instant they were in the room and the door closed, she dropped to her knees and pulled down his pants for that mighty organ she so craved.
Rita caressed it like one would caress a lover tickling it with her tongue occasionally and just breathing in it's pleasant scent that was reminisce of the night before.
She licked the underside and then went around while she cradled his empty balls and massaged them. Just thinking of the nectar it contained made her mouth water.
She licked the ridge below the head and then took the cock head into her perfect mouth and sucked
"Oh" Hal groaned but remained on his feet. He couldn't possibly let himself look weak and buckle his knees. The pleasure was however incredible
Rita slowly wormed her way down Hal's cock and lathering it and making it slick before going back and fast. taking care to suck hard and continued to massage his balls.
Slowly the cock head approached the back of her head and Hal's groans of pleasure continued to spur her on and the cock made it's way into her throat
"Oh, that is fantastic" Hal groaned his words, surprised by how good she became considering this was merely her second time doing this. The way her throat constricted around him was too much...
"Oh. I'm cumming" He groaned and shot his sperm straight down her throat. Rita's joy knew no bounds as she withdrew slightly to allow the cum to pool in her mouth so she could savor it's delicious taste again. Once again, the velume stirred her surprise and she continued to rub the bulls as though milking last drops.
Then it stopped and she swallowed by which time Hal had taken love his shirt and so she got of her clothes as well as Hal swept her into his arms and carried her to the bed where he laid her down and kissed her, barely noticing the taste of his own semen.
He kissed down her body before he activated erogenous touch which made every part of his body pleasure inducing.
He placed his hands on he breasts, holding her nipple and rubbing it
"Aahhnn, that feels so good" She moaned in pleasure as Hal pinched her nipples lightly and fondled her perfect and ample chest as she continued to moan out
"Oooh I can't bear it, please Master, Take me" She groaned
"All in good time" Hal promised and continued his exploration of her body, moving down her neck and peppering it with kisses, kisses that ignited the flame of pleasure inside her.
Those kisses were erogenous and every part they touched felt pleasure. Hal was at her hips and he kissed the swell, her thighs were parted to show just how much she wanted to give to her master, but so far he seemed to have no interest in taking. He seemed more content with giving
Oh and he gave her soooo much!!
Her inner thighs were wet of her juices and her tight slit was aflame with pleasure.
Hal widened her thighs further and Nuzzled into her forbidden region and her pussy smelt absolutely delicious to Hal. The nectar seemed to Hal and holy drink as he stretched his tongue to lick her thighs and took in her essence at the source.
It gave Hal such a rush. His bloodline literally craved that sweet essence and for him to have it in so many ways.
"Oh Oh oh Moore" Rita moaned and bucked when Hal went into her pussy and devoured it licking the slit, teasing the clit that had come out to play and then snaking in his tongue while probing with his fingers, Rita moaned continuously, which was to be expected from having your erogenous zone turn even more erogenous through {Erogenous Touch}.
"Ohhh, I'm Cumming" She yelled as she squirted her release into Hal's waiting mouth and Hal drank it and wasted not even a single drop.
When she came down from her high Hal was slinking back up her body his hand cupping and squeezing that delectable ass as his whole body became charged with {Erogenous Touch} and Rita experienced the closest thing to a sensory overload
Every part of her body Hal touched was now an pleasured making it so that she moaned constantly and Hal was still yet to seal the deal.
"Do you trust me?" He asked with a smile
"Absolutely" Rita gasped and then felt the cock pierce into her 'Finally' she yelled mentally before clamped up in fear of the pain she was now expecting.
"Relax" Hal whisper and when she did he pierced and all she felt was pleasure eating her from the insides.
Erogenous touch had spared her from the pain but that hardly mattered what mattered was her grabbing Hal's neck and pulling him closer to her.
"More more" DM she moaned and bucked against him...
pa*pa*pa*pa*
...Was the sound that soon filled the room as she surrendered herself to the pleasure she received at the hands of her Master
"Oh master, master" she moaned
"Rita darling, call me Hal" He said and increased the intensity, his pheromones were released en masse and formed a domain inside the room.
The pounding became harder and Rita's moan louder and after an hour Rita came for the umpteenth time that afternoon and fell unconscious.
Hal slid her hair away from her face to gaze at her beauty when the door opened and closed and a figure sat on the bed simultaneously.
Melinda wormed her hand around his midsection
"Don't tell me you are tired. Because I still want my fix"
