Chapter 51: Monster Lord!
Chapter 51: Monster Lord!
The new dark elves had grown accustomed to their new life in the dungeon in their own way. Everyone was busy with either jobs assigned to them or training, something that had become a mainstay for all the women.
They still needed to become accustomed to Aura though, as they all shook like leaves in the wind when the impossibly strong wolf-eared woman was present.
Theo had already fallen behind Rhea in strength as she overwhelmed him in abilities and mana capacity, something that made him feel deeply depressed.
"Theo, what are you doing?" Rhea asked him with a frown as he was taking a break.
"That I was just thinking of checking the fields"
"They're fine, but you are falling behind everyone else in strength. You need to be more dedicated to this."
"That's easy for you to say! You have Styx's help in getting stronger!" He burst out in a moment of frustration.
"Pardon?" Rhea's voice became chilly and frightened Theo to the core.
Rhea then beat Theo until he was battered and bruised. She had taken over the dominant position in the relationship and he was forced to agree with whatever she wanted. He secretly thought it was Styx's fault due to the piece of him inside of her mind somehow, but he didn't dare say that out loud.
She still treated him kindly, even tending to his wounds after beating him up, but she had developed a habit of bossing him around. His feelings to her were both deeply affectionate to her while also grieved in the way she treated him, leading to a deeply conflicted emotion within himself.
On another side of the training field, where there was nobody sparring, Piri was playing with the new slave children. Styx had created various balls and even board games for the children, teaching them various games which they were immediately enraptured by.
The slave girl had been placed under the custody of Piri's family, so they were almost sisters, while the two slave boys were under the custody of Arth, the new dark elf who was a <Lv. 13> Apprentice Stonecarver.
Said dark elf was currently watching over the children from the distance while working on various carvings, trying to understand and even expand Styx's current designs that he was using.
The slave girl's name was Avora, while the boys were Felix and Thomas. They smiled and laughed while kicking a Styx and Therina made soccer ball around. The game was soccer, except on a smaller field to accommodate just four children.
The slaves were at a disadvantage though as they were not allowed to hurt or be rough with Piri and often had to give way to her. Despite this, the boys one in a game of girls vs boys, mainly because Piri was simply terrible at the game.
This led to the little dark elf girl pouting in displeasure for the next hour.
Another one of the new dark elves, Vivy, the exotic beauty with long legs and a fondness for being attended to by multiple men, was training with the others.
She was known as a useless hunter back in the village because she had terrible tracking skills, but her strength was indeed the real deal.
Last night, Styx guiltily enjoyed watching her make them compete over massages her muscles and other, more erotic tasks before she "awarded" her virginity to Zac. Gimil wasn't to be left out in her completely raunchy night.
Of all the new dark elves, she definitely seemed to be the happiest now that her long hidden fantasy had become a reality. She even made more prompts to Arth and tried to entice him with her body but was promptly turned down by the Apprentice Stonecarver.
~~~~~
Styx was currently in a personal study of his which he had made bookshelves to start storing all of the new books on magic and other, worldly knowledge.
Beatrice and Aura were currently in the room with him.
Beatrice's task was to help catalogue his collection and record things down for him, replacing Rhea while she was busy training.
Aura was currently sitting in front of Styx with while he brushed her long, bushy tail. He was balancing this task while also studying through all the new magic books and also creating a course schedule for Piri and the slave children.
Beatrice was the second clothing and other fabric maker as well. She had more experience, and was more skilled in the trade than Therina was. The latter was far stronger than her in combat though, as she had brutally learned during sparring.
Styx helped heal her bruised and battered body, several bones even fractured, but she wouldn't be forgetting the pain any time soon. That tree elf held no mercy when training, towards herself and others.
"I'm all done," Styx said as he finished brushing the last part of Aura's tail.
Styx felt the disappointment in Aura's emotions and reached forward for the woman, wrapping his arms around her neck from behind and pulling her into his embrace, an action she surprisingly didn't reject.
"Oh? Have you finally given in?" Styx whispered as he nuzzled his face against her ears.
"I need to get stronger."
She responded in a nonchalant way, but he could feel her emotions and guessed what the issue was. He tilted her head back so that they were looking eye to eye.
"You are at Max Level, aren't you."
"Yes."
"I don't know how much I can help you right now, you mana network channels are currently far larger than I can manipulate. I may be able to help a bit though."
Styx extended his mana tendril which pushed their way into Aura's enormous mana network. He tried to control them inside of her, but it was like trying to hold an umbrella steady in a cyclone one misstep and everything would fly out of control.
"It seems like I can have some impact currently, but it's very minimal. High level spiritual fruits would work better though."
Styx looked at her innocent face and plump lips, feeling drawn in by her beauty. He leaned his face in closer to hers, knowing full well she could very easy behead his avatar without him even realizing.
Beatrice turned her head away with a faint blush on the tips of her ears, still unaccustomed to seeing him being intimate with others.
Despite the danger, his libido won out over reasoning and he placed his lips of the wolf-eared woman's own. He felt like a jolt of electricity shot through him and the heavenly feeling of her soft lips pressed against his.
Aura had zero experience of knowledge in kissing and merely let Styx do what he wanted, partially trying to mimic his actions.
As a further feat of courting death, he extended his tongue and tried to pry open her lips. Aura froze briefly before parting her lips and letting the tongue in.
Inside of her mouth was hot, and singingly his tongue level hot. His tongue brushed past her teeth and razor sharp canines that could chew metal like candy, finally finding her own burning hot tongue.
Styx's saliva ran from his mouth to Aura's, whom swallowed along with her own without a second thought. She also started licking his tongue, but almost crushed and ripped it out of his mouth despite how gentle she was trying to be.
Blood ran from his tongue from where her canines cut it, flowing freely into the wolfgirl's mouth. Her heaven defying beauty caused him to push on regardless of the pain, but soon, just her mouth wasn't enough.
Looking down from the top, he had a perfect view of her deep cleavage and his wolfish hands tried to sneak through the collar of her shirt and grasp her very prominent breasts.
Just before he could, she suddenly vanished from inside of his arms and the room together.
Styx was stunned briefly, but saw through her sight that she had left the dungeon again. He was left with an engorged rod in his pants and lust which wasn't going away any by itself.
He turned and looked toward Beatrice who was still in the room, the prim dark elf turning her head and stating, "There is still a lot of work to be done."
"No worry, no worry. We can do both at once," He responded with a sly grin and hinted for the dark elf to come over.
Styx patted the creases out of his clothes and held a book in one had while Beatrice sat on his lap.
"Do we have to do it here?" She scolded with a stern expression, yet the emotions Styx felt from her were filled with tenderness.
The back of her skirt was raised and his penis was squeezed between her thighs as she softly stroked it. She also kept squirming which inevitably rubbed it between her thighs.
Styx wasn't even focusing on the magic book anymore and had put his hands up Beatrice's shirt and was strongly grasping her large breasts.
"Mmmph."
Styx groaned as Beatrice's hands grasped and stroked his penis while her squishy thighs rubbed together on the sides and moist unblemished vagina rubbed against the underside.
The combination of all the pleasurable feelings caused him to very quickly reach a climax, and without even penetrating her, released a thick load of dungeon seed on her thighs, abdomen, and inside of her skirt.
"Eh?" Beatrice froze in shock as she felt what happened, happen. She turned her head and looked at Styx wide eyed.
"Would you like to continue?"
"I need to clean myself."
Secretly embarrassed with dungeon seed dirtying the inside of her clothes and running down her thighs, she quickly departed the room and headed towards the private bath next to Styx's new room for his women only.
Along the way, she had run into Rhea, Zac and Gimil, whom she had scolded for them being indecent and to go check on the fields.
~~~~~
"How is it?" Styx asked Aura through her mind as he saw her flashing around the Abyssal Forest haphazardly and killing several monsters which the appearance alone deeply intimidated him.
"It works, but only a little."
She confessed that she had earned some more experience, but the increased amount was negligible compared to what she needed to level up.
"It is a long process when your strength is greater than mine by so much, but I will always help my things. Are you finally willing to become my woman, then?"
Aura thought long about this with an unchanging expression before simply stating, "Raise my Max Level and help me become stronger. I will then."
Styx was elated at this news and mentally clapped his hands. She had previously been a guest NPC whom he couldn't order around, but now he would be able to.
He also knew that it was related to the last time she left the dungeon and got into a grand battle which tore space itself apart. Or at least that's what he thought, the signals he was getting from her at the time were so chaotic he had to filter them all out.
The end result of that battle was she had to grudgingly flee, and that was all he knew about it. It was enough for him at least.
"Very well, I will hold you to that. First, show me your status."
"How?"
"I am looking through your eyes. You just need to open it before you and I will see it."
Aura nodded her head and opened her status, which caused Styx to be so frightened for a moment that even the blue glow of his core vanished deep within itself.

"Aura you're a Fifth Step Monster Lord?" Styx asked in her mind while stuck in disbelief.
Her answer was simple, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Yes."
He knew she was strong, but this was in a completely different level of "strong". His expectations were that she was late Third Step, maybe even a Fourth Step at most. This was so shocking he didn't even realize that she had officially accepted the name "Aura", which was also displayed on her status.
As he thought about how frequently he tried to fondle her breasts or grab her ass, he realized just how close he was to causing his own death. The pressure she exerted on everyone with just her presence did nothing to give justice to the amount of power she was capable of.
This was all mostly likely what was felt under the full strength of Presence Erasure, a higher level, upgraded form of the simple Concealment.
Judging by some of her skills, Styx estimated that she could destroy the entire Maple Dragon Kingdom. This begged the question in his mind about why she, and the other Monster Lords in the Abyssal Forest and other forbidden zones, didn't.
This Monster Lord was also somehow willing to become completely his should he be able to fulfil her demands. The thought of what he could do if she followed all of his commands made countless plots hatch in his mind.

"Well, this is unexpected," Styx said to himself as he saw the notification which could have only come from the powers which govern this infinite myriad world filled with war.
