Chapter 229: Teleportation Rune (1/2)

~HMM~ I groaned, opening my eyes to the light overflowing within my vision.

”Thank the Gods!” Anna yelled in horror and relief as she hugged my body. Feeling her massive weaponry pressed tightly against my face, I didn't even question what was going on, merely enjoying the warmth.

”You have been out for about three days, my Lord.” Anna pitifully exclaimed as I suddenly felt a wave of pain assaulting my senses.

Opening my eyes wide, I could see her scream in panic, ”SORRY!!!! I forgot to remove the needles from your acupuncture points. Forgive me, my lord. But do not fret. I trained as a doctor all my life before I started working for Lady Yura.” Anna exclaimed as her hands moved with the graceful skill of a trained doctor.

”You did?” I questioned in confusion since Yura never mentioned her. I thought she was a random worker.

”Yes, a few years ago, she saved me alongside many of my family members. I know it's strange, but my family was quite well known within Midgard, but I regret nothing. Joining Lady Yura was the greatest decision for me. A life for a life.”

Humming in response, I arose, checking my body. I could feel my dantian had expanded almost three times its size, causing me to grin, which equates to me breaking through three times. Feeling the overflow of qi rising from my body, I bellowed in laughter.

”Anna go out and buy more resources, and get some for yourself,” I said as her face open wide. ”After all, it never hurts to have a better cultivation.”

Bowing, Anna left with tears in her eyes. I was sure she didn't tell me the whole story, but it didn't matter. Watching as her shadow faded, my smile slowly vanished.

”Is there a reason your here?” I asked as a being of sin appeared before me within a mist of demonic qi. Feeling death grip on my neck, I didn't freeze or panic, merely staring at the entity taking form before me.

”Are you truly my master husband? For a devil to faint due to excess qi is strange and rather pathetic.” Anya sharply said with piercing eyes.

Scrunching my brow, I snorted, ”You truly have a mouth on you. It will be wise to hold it. I am not your master, but there is a reason Asmodeus came to me to train his daughter. Keep testing my patients, and I will break you.”

”YOU!!!” SHe yelled in mocking laughter, ”We are demons Arsene, such threats mean nothing to us.”

”Oh, then do keep testing me, and we will see who has the final laugh. As a demon, you should understand what true torture is like.” I replied with a fiendish grin, ”Now tell me why you are here?”

”The young mistress said to brand your arm with a rune. This should allow you to teleport through Midgard, assuming you know where to go. There is a five-second delay, so it's not very usable in battle. My sister and I both worked on this together to have the best result.”

”Guess that makes sense,” I said as she waved her palm. Feeling a heat pressed against my shoulder. I raised my sleeve, smiling at the pentagram depicting a sinister tree. Arching my lips I smirk, at the emblem they used.

”So, Anya, have you wondered what you would do if I decided to marry Ezra?” I asked, watching her body stiffen. Releasing a rather fiendish smile, ”I hear the ninth level of hell is rather magical. Maybe you can become friends with the Prince of Hell bael. I am sure he would enjoy the touch of a woman, and as a demon, I am sure your body and soul will be more than adequate to... release some tension. ”

Releasing a depraved laugh, Anya backed away as my words rang deep into her mind. Flickering away from my sight, I smirked, ”I will enjoy breaking her. I wonder how her sister will fare? She is not as rude, but both of them will need a deep lesson when speaking to me. ”

Sending my intent back into the ring I received from Anna, I continued to absorb any more resources to boost my cultivation. Falling into another trance, my body did not react like last time as I began comprehending the various elements.

Days slowly began to pass like seconds before a gentle arm gripped my shoulder. Coming back to my senses, I shivered, leaping away at Roald standing in front of me.

FUCK!!! That was scary; I need to learn to lay down formations that can defend against intruders.

”Sorry, but it's time,” he said with an apologetic smile. ”Anna, let me in. She doesn't know I snuck away. I am in a hurry.”

Nodding lightly, I quickly went to find anna to collect the rest of my resources before leaving with Roald. Looking at the carriage waiting for us, I got comfortable before I sent Roald a deep stare.
