Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix - Chapter 194

Chapter 194: The Call of War – II
Lorem stopped teasing Asura, walked to the front of the class, and spread her arms.

“My lovely students, first let me show all the basic elements for you to see.”

Before she cast various magics with her hand, her gaze passed over Mu Xue, Xavida and Asura, giving him a little wink.

She twisted her hips and swayed on the spot. Before stomping on the ground—no longer fearing that curse. She could use magic with the snap of her fingers.

However, she wanted to seduce and impress Asura.

The beautiful glow of her fire magic formed an orange colour slowly from her fingertips, trailing around her arms with a beautiful flicker of warm light. She twisted her arms, creating whirls of flame that wrapped around her body as she performed a beautiful dance.

Her hips flicked back as she stepped forward. She extended her opposite hand to show the ice element, letting the shards twirl around her arm like a school of fish.

Her pupils began glowing like rubies, creating beautiful jewels of earth magic surrounding her in an orb-like barrier.

Then her hands returned to her sides, her eyes still flickering in their deep azure colour as water magic manifested and flowed down her body.

Lorem’s white uniform clung to her shapely body, emphasising her voluptuous bust and alluring figure before the most illusive magic revealed itself, causing her flames and ice shards to dance around each other in the air.

This kind of teaching is why Lorem has become so popular in the past two months. She would display these feats with magic Lorem had a low affinity for, causing those with nothing special about them to become excited and more confident as the elements finally faded.

Her cheeks were slightly red, but unlike before, she no longer panted or looked in pain as her dance ended.

“Wow….”

“I didn’t know instructor Lorem could also use water, earth and ice magic. Her abilities only matched her beauty!”

Many of the class seemed to truly adore Lorem, which brought a smile to Asura’s lips before she snapped her fingers and created another flame.

“This is an irregular flame, a mutant element or what some might call a bloodline element. Can anyone tell me why?”

Xavida was the first to raise her hand. “Instructor Lorem, it is called a mutation because it doesn’t seem natural to most magic, but normally, these elements are found in people with special bloodlines or abilities!”

‘Xavida? When did you learn so much?’

Lorem nodded her head at Xavida’s answer.

“Good. Can you show everyone your flame? Then they might understand what makes these flames unique or why they are called mutant elements.”

“Yes, teacher!”

Despite being a dragon, Xavida could cast various elemental magics. Although hers was not nearly as impressive as Lorem’s, she could use a flame spell, a deep violet colour that seemed to contain a trace of lightning, just like her key element in her breath attack.

“As you can all see, this flame is a mixture of white, purple and some flickers of black. Because the flame isn’t orange like normal, it would be classified as a mutant element. However, Xavida is a dragoness.”

Lorem then checked that everyone continued following her.

“You might not know, but many of you should have seen her fighting in the assessment. This makes it a bloodline element. Her flame becomes purple because of her Bloodline as a white dragon, using lightning as her major element. The black flickers come from her spouse. His element has fused deeply with hers, a trait of the dragon race upon finding their ideal mate.”

“Sorry, boys. Asura has already ravished her and left nothing for anyone else!” In the end, Lorem added a strange joke, causing Xavida’s flame to puff into smoke and her tail to sway, slapping the surrounding tables.

“Ah… Xavida, stop… my work!”

“Miss Xavida!!!”

The girl herself just looked back at Asura and pulled out her tongue. “Hmph, idiot.”

‘Somehow, the gaze from the boys became a little cold…’ Asura thought while Lorem laughed with a deep voice, almost cackling at the classroom.’

“Okay, don’t worry. Let’s forget the heartbreak and instead see… Another bloodline element would be… hmmm. Mu Xue, could you show us your changes?”

“Eh???”

“It’s okay.”

“Then… I’ll try!”

Mu Xue didn’t mind showing her prowess. Her sharp gaze peeked back at Asura. She mouthed, ‘Watch me, husband~ mwah,’ blowing him a kiss before she used her manifestation.

With a snap of her fingers, the entire room became silent because, out of nowhere, beautiful ice covered the entire room, almost freezing the weakest of members, forcing Lorem to cast her phoenix flames to protect them.

She didn’t seem to use her full transformation.

Instead, her skin became pale blue, her body wrapped in beautiful black ice that formed her clothes and weapon while she twirled in a circle and summoned a dozen black spears of ice.

“This is?” Lorem gazed around the classroom. “A Mutated or a bloodline element?”

“Black Ice? I believe it’s called Chaos magic. I didn’t learn about this magic…” One student tried to bluff, but Lorem snapped her fingers, and his hair set on fire for a fraction of a second.

“Wrong~ try again.”

Then, one of Mu Xue’s friends raised her hand with a lovely smile. The brunette seemed fascinated by Mu Xue’s devil form and took a while to speak.

“It’s both a mutated and bloodline element? She is showing the element and the reason for its transformation, right?”

“Correct. It’s a mutated element because she was born with a dormant bloodline; this slowly changed her ice until she finally awakened it. Despite their similar nature, the last change happened after she could use her manifestation, and thus, it’s both a bloodline and a mutated element. If she could cast this black ice from birth, it would only be a bloodline element.”

Lorem then reviewed each person’s questions, struggles, and elements for several minutes. The class noticed that two specific girls had some extraordinary elements.

“Vela’s magma magic is a mixture of fire and earth. Can that be classified as a bloodline element, too?”

“Haha… Not Bloodline. That’s pure mutation. She mutated her magic through sheer effort and practice. This is a truly rare case, and the chance of someone achieving this is less than one in a billion.”

As the class approached the end, Lorem stood at the centre of the room and asked a last question.

“So, is my flame, mutation or a bloodline?”

“Both???” Many of the students thought with a puzzled look.

“Wrong.”

Lorem closed her eyes and placed her hands behind her back, making a coy smile.

“My flame is called the Scarlet hellfire, not an ordinary bloodline element but something older. My clan is the most purebred phoenix type, currently on the brink of extinction. This crimson flame is the symbol of my scarlet clan. A pure bloodline element, a special flame.”

The next moment, the boy Aldebaran raised his hand, raising Lorem’s eyes.

“But miss your flame—it’s black and red, just like the flame of Xavida. In the centre, an eerie but powerful dark flame is swirling inside.”

The class became silent for a moment as Lorem looked towards Xavida.

‘…’

Because of being brought up as divine beasts and knowing the meaning of this in more detail than humans, Xavida’s mouth opened wide before turning into a huge smile, her little dimples and teeth showing while her eyes sparkled.

‘Don’t tell me…’

Lorem covered her face with one hand, looking at Asura through the gaps… her face was a little complicated.

“Forgive me, but the reason for this is a mutation, but I cannot tell you the true reason… Ah… the bell, it seems time for us to go to the auditorium for an announcement…” Her body swiftly dashed out the door soon after the alarm truly sounded with an ear-aching sound.

“Miss Lorem!?”

“Instructor!?”

Before they could catch up, her figure disappeared, while Asura felt a sudden weight at the bottom of his stomach before he walked towards the door.

“Xue’er, why do we need to go to the auditorium?”

“Ah… Asura, it’s because there is an important announcement. I feel worried that it’s not good news, though.”

Mu Xue tried to ignore him, but her feelings were too strong as she seemed to give up and held his left arm with a bitter face before whispering. “I want to enjoy an entire day having sex next time~ so please stay strong, papa.”

‘This seductive devil…’

Asura held her neck, preparing to devour her lips, but Xavida’s tail swiftly intervened. It wrapped around his throat like a noose, almost yanking him off his feet while pulling him into her arms, her huge breasts almost suffocating him as she refused to let go.

“Not here. I’m your lover, so save some energy for me.” Xavida released him after a moment, and Mu Xue and she could not help their giggling.

The two girls and the man walked to the auditorium. From the perspective of others, Asura seemed to be some kind of playboy, but right now, he was like a hostage to their love. If he chose either of them, there might be a war.

*****

Five thousand students from all grades filled the auditorium, with everyone lined up neatly split between their classes.

Many girls gave him cold or curious gazes or ignored them, some whispering rumours, yet many stared at Asura in admiration of his ability to walk so easily with two women on each arm. In reality, polygamy was legal, but for a man to survive with more than one woman required a lot of skill and life.

“Don’t look at them!” Xavida hissed before covering his eyes with her tail.

“Fufu, why do you seem so excited to see the seniors in their official combat suits, my love?”

Asura couldn’t listen properly because the two devils in his arms finally showed their jealousy after clutching him with claws.

However, the moment they saw the message on the huge board…

None of them felt like playing.

Because…

The war had started.
