Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix - Chapter 422

Chapter 422: Departure – Into the Forest
The sound of steel clashing echoed in the distance, a rhythm flowing movements as troops finished their morning practice. Accompanied by the galloping of horses and creaking of the wooden carriages. All sorts of wonderful and lively sounds filled the city of Lyndwrym while the lord slept peacefully with his beloved women.

“Hurry, Danos! If we take any longer, then our Lord will end up helping us once again!” A handsome male with dark hair complained that Louis Devereaux was a knight who adored Asura the most, from the strict training to his acknowledgement of the Devereaux family skills. He followed Asura like no other.

“Calm down, Louis. If you were a girl, you’d totally be rushing to become one of our Prince’s wives…”

Danos and the others didn’t lose out by much when it came to loyalty and respect, but they loved to tease Louis for his attachment to their Lord.

“Hmph… who wouldn’t, that perfect body and his ability to fight with magic, weapons and unarmed! Even you would become the Lord’s prisoner, Danos!”

“Ah… these two are at it again. They both love our master too much.”

Alexander Ravenshaw, the son of Alexius, with his wind magic helping the army carry their things easier, mocked the pair even while he carried two boxes of weapons and supplies to the supply carriage that Asura allowed them.

“Leave them be, Alex. You know what kind of people we all are.” Manfried joked because it was obvious all of them had their quirks, and he didn’t hide the fact. He was a weird man who loved to fight strong opponents like a beast.

“Tsk, Manfried don’t support them. They’ll never learn!” Danos added the knights seemed to get along better each day, with Vergil, Belial and Ryan all quietly helping the other knights, ignoring the extreme group who loved to make noise.

“But still, the lord is amazing… To be able to keep so many women pleased at night, then fight us the next day for hours on end.”

“True, Alex, our master, is too strong in everything. However, I am glad that I followed him! Because we’ve finally started getting marriage proposals! Hahahaha!”

“Hahahaha, don’t say that to Belial. He might cry.”

“Well he’s bald and looked like a bear, but I am sure there’s a woman for him somewhere. I mean, didn’t that female orc offer to become his wife last time we trained with them?”

“Ah… true Danos, but I never thought female orcs would be so beautiful… they are just big and very muscular!”

“I don’t want to be whipped…” Louis added with a sour grin after hearing Manfried talk about the pretty orcs.

Meanwhile, as the city of Lyndwrym prepared for the army and Asura to depart…

Inside a modest yet well-cleaned room filled with high-level furniture, there was a massive bed with five bodies resting.

Lay in the embrace of Asura, who was naked, were Sigurd, Helia, Lucia and Noir (Who snuck in when she went to wake them up.) And finally Rasha seemed to have also climbed into his bed, her sticky silk slowly dripping from the ceiling where she slept originally. Now, her body curled between his legs.

Helia, who was on the right, woke up and blushed because Asura had his hand on her soft ass. He was sleeping deeply, yet his hands were surprisingly active.

The girl couldn’t help but grasp and stroke his muscular chest. It was rock hard with barely any fat on his body; she couldn’t help but enjoy the way his hands stroked along her rump before squeezing it slightly.

She blushed and tried to avoid waking him up, though she couldn’t deny that she’d seen him naked many times and had her way with him… The man was truly perfect, and it was hard to resist.

“Nnn…”

However, the moment she moved, Asura’s eyes opened and stared at her with a slight smirk. He seemed to have been pretending to sleep, while Helia could only bury her face in his chest, embarrassed.

“You really haven’t changed, Helia. Such a cute and lovely woman.”

“Uh-huh.”

Asura pulled her close and kissed her lips softly, then let go as the girl went to the bathroom, her soft feet slapping the floor as she rushed away while his eyes enjoyed the view of her perfect buttocks. He then heard something below him and saw a certain arachne staring at him with a slight blush on her face.

“Oh? Rasha, why are you sleeping down there?”

“It’s nice and warm, and the scent makes me feel good.”

‘This spider… does she have some kind of smell fetish?’ Asura wondered while pressing his feet against her exposed thighs while in her human form—he found that Rasha’s body was extremely soft and delightful to caress, like soft mochi or dough.

He liked the feeling as Rasha’s eight eyes shined with happiness and shame while his toes pinched and gently pulled her soft meat. She seemed to enjoy it, and the sounds of water rushing from the bathroom were her sign to escape, skittering up the walls before climbing into the bathroom.

“Kyaaah!?” The scream of Helia was amazing, causing Asura to chuckle before Sigurd and Lucia grabbed his arm.

“Master~ you’re finally free to tease.” Lucia kissed his cheek while a second Lucia clone snuggled against his chest, and Sigurd held his arm between her chest and thighs, looking at him with a pink hue across her cheeks.

“Asura, please… if you do that, it’ll end up like every morning. Then we’ll be late for the planned mission~ so behave.”

Sigurd begged him not to tempt her—however, in reality, she was a cruel and naughty woman because it was her hands that were already stroking his cock.

‘Ah~ what a wonderful morning as always.’ He thought to himself.

[Good morning, my prince~ I miss you] The lovely elf wife who waited for him in the west finally contacted him after they met and finally crossed the line.

‘Hello, my beautiful elven princess. Are you doing well?’

[Nn! Spica is helping me train in that horrible world you sent me! It was really, really hard at first, but for some reason, after we…. we…. did that. I can feel myself becoming stronger every day! I miss you so much though, can you come to me soon… I know I said I could wait, but…]

‘Hmmm~ okay then, I’ll let you know when, so make sure you’re keeping yourself nice and clean waiting for me. My dear little fairy, Celina.’

Three hours later, Asura finally left the inner castle and finished breakfast.

Thankfully, he sent Lucia to make sure the knights and Valkyrie got a good rest, but he wondered why he didn’t see Ignis.

When they called for reinforcements, Amalia left with the unit that brought the supplies, so now there was only Ignis by his side. Yet she seemed strange after meeting Noir.

‘I hope she turns up soon…’ Asura thought while enjoying the beautiful, scenic view of Lyndwrym.

All the city had to offer in the past was its minerals and fortress, but now, thanks to Asura’s magic farming, the entire area transformed into a beautiful field of flowers, food, cotton and various resources, making the marshlands and other places suitable for planting.

“My Lord!” Danos rushed up towards him as he stepped down the long, winding stone steps and outside the fortress to greet over two thousand knights who helped to complete the preparations. At first, he only planned to have a small unit, but with the help of the Grom Clan.

Asura planned to split the army into four groups of 500 and have them secure the land directly beside Lyndwrym and form an outpost. And the plans to build a wall to protect Silvara were already in motion.

“Danos, Manfried. You two are always so excited—oh, Louis? Why are you using stealth.” Asura tilted his head, dodging the blow from Louis and then hitting him with a palm strike that sent him flying across the entire field.

“Lord!” Danos and Manfried looked at their friend, who seemed fine despite the impact of being struck by Asura’s palm.

“M-my apologies, Master… I just wanted to test your skill!”

“Test my skill… You’re lucky I know it’s true; other lords would have you beheaded, you know?” Asura scolded Louis, but the person scolded just looked at him with shining eyes.

“Hey… Sigurd, is that guy okay? Why does he look at Asura with so much affection?” Helia whispered from behind her lips, pouting and eyes narrowed like a violent cat.

Both women ignored the fact that Asura began to fight amongst his knights; his vicious blows, which would surely kill a normal man, only caused them to look excited or more eager to fight, causing great concern in their hearts.

“Helia, you don’t understand that kind of love.”

“What do you mean?”

“That’s the look of a man who fell for his Master, so he wants to try his strength.”

“A man who fell for his master! Wha?”

“Yes, isn’t it the same for you and me? We fell for our lord and wanted to become his wives.”

“Uh… I hope it remains platonic…” Helia’s face became pale as she worried for her husband even more, and her jealousy didn’t fade.

“Calm down, Helia. That’s not going to happen.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“You’re not lying, are you, Sigurd?”

“No, I’m not.”

This was another common topic between the various wives of Asura—the fact that he started appealing to males made them uneasy, as the current fad of literature in Silvara, thanks to the open borders of Romantica, was boys’ love or forbidden love themes…

However, Noir seemed to enjoy the monster x human romance novels and was reading one in the carriage with Rasha and Shizuka.

Today was the departure for the four squads, and Asura’s unit would be the vanguard.
