Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix

Celine, with her desire to make things look pretty, had brought from home an array of items. These included a dainty chair, a cosy bed, and a miniature hot bathhouse. The pool, now filled with steaming hot water, had become a luxurious bathhouse.

"Asura?" Her lovely voice echoed the moment she arrived.

\'She\'s really impatient. Does this girl not realise how obvious she is making herself look?\'

[Asura? Asura! Where are you? You promised to be here. I will get mad if you are late!]

[I\'m here. Do you really want me to come right now?]

[Yes!]

\'Well, let\'s answer to her wish.\'

Asura\'s arms, leaning on the wall, pulled him from the steaming water. Over time, the excess heat had turned his immaculate fair skin a slight pink. There was a strange air around him, a complete lack of urgency that he seemed to possess in the past.

He slowly wrapped a towel around his waist and headed for the main area with wet footsteps.

\'What an impatient, spoiled princess.\'

"Celine, I\'m here."

The moment Asura entered, wearing only a towel and his body and glossy hair dripping with water caused the little princess\'s face to turn bright red and looked away.

Spica watched with greedy eyes and swallowed heavily before realising Asura\'s lips curled into a smirk, watching her as she clicked her tongue and turned away with a faint tinge of red on her cheeks.

"Tsk."

"Ah!"

"Well, do I have a second lovely princess here today? Oh, it\'s just Spica wearing makeup. How lovely."

"!!!"

Asura enjoyed these two elves\' reactions; he no longer felt forced or guided, and so his words and actions became free, whether he wanted to flirt with these beautiful elves or kill monsters.

It became his choice, and that made an enormous difference to Asura\'s temperance.

"Doesn\'t she? I wanted to know why she put it on for the first time, but Spica wouldn\'t tell me!"

"Princess!?"

Princess Celine was a lovely girl, a little too naïve with some things while deadly accurate and harsh with others. Her kind words only made Spica feel more embarrassed as she kept peeking at Asura, only to turn away quickly when their eyes met.

"But wow! Asura, your skin looks so healthy today. I don\'t see any marks, and your abs are so sexy!"

The princess quickly overcame her shyness, remembering the time Asura would make her feel like crying when he massaged her naked; now, she stood at his side, tracing her hands over the steel-like abs with her fingertips.

"So, what is today\'s training? I\'d love to help if I can."

However, the princess seemed to be in a cheeky and brave mood as her hand reached for the towel, only for Asura\'s hand to grasp her wrist and stop her at the last minute.

"P-princess."

"Spica! Don\'t look away. You know you\'re curious! Do you not want to see what\'s below the towel?"

"A-ah. No! Not at all."

"Eh!? Alright... If you say so."

Asura wanted to laugh. The princess, being naughty, did not know Spica saw everything and even held it in her mouth. They had taken off their clothes in front of each other many times, but the Elves were a modest race. It seemed she finally became comfortable with him after many visits and times fighting together.

"So that huge goblin camp, are we going to slaughter it?"

The princess narrowed her eyes with a vicious smile; since Asura didn\'t fall for her teasing, her mood switched instantly. Spica could only gasp, never thinking her ditzy princess would ever act like this.

"Why are you copying how I speak? Silly girl!" Asura said in a low voice, his sharp fangs showing as he slapped her little cheeks playfully.

"Ah~ don\'t be mean, it feels so good to speak like you. I feel a tingling sensation in my stomach each time."

\'Is this princess becoming more perverted because of me and the massages!?\'

Spica could only gulp in nervousness. She could only watch this happening, no longer able to act as the innocent party.

"Spica, you can stay here. We are going to slay some goblins!"

Celine gave a bright smile, ignoring Asura\'s words. She continued to speak like him and grasped his hand, dragging him to the cave entrance before looking back at him as if waiting for something.

"Asura, wings! Let\'s fly and shoot them from above, hehe."

"..."

This spoiled little elf was growing on Asura\'s patience, but it wasn\'t like he didn\'t like it. After all, he enjoyed her cute and bold attitude. It was far different from her previous self, which only held arrogance and loneliness.

"Yes, little princess."

He stretched his other hand, grasping Celine\'s hips, pulling her against his chest while his robes wrapped around his body; the next moment, his black and white wings unfurled, growing from his shoulder blades.

Asura lightly beat his wings once before slowly lifting off the ground and carrying Celine in his embrace as they rose to the sky.

"Spica! You can wait there and... don\'t steal all the food!"

The poor maid sat below could only feel left out as the pair vanished into the sky with immense speed the moment Asura batted his wings. The maid could only watch as two shadows zipped across the valley, leaving behind a sonic boom as they vanished into the distance.

\'Hmph. Little princess, do you think I can\'t see your flushed cheeks and shaky breath?\'

Celine\'s face became red because of how tightly Asura held her. This allowed them both to feel each other\'s bodies, as they both wore light clothes instead of thick armour this time.

[I can feel something pressing against my butt!? What is that, a steel pipe?]

\'...\'

\'Dear mother, please give me the strength to resist my urges! Wait... Why is she moving her ass!?\'

Asura couldn\'t help but wonder why she was grinding against his waist with her buttocks.

\'She knows the goblin camp isn\'t too far and is being naughty on purpose. Fuck!\'

Because of her actions, their flight became erratic, throwing Asura off balance. The blonde elf\'s lips curled into a cute, mischievous smile. She knew exactly what she was doing.

\'Ha... She knows what she is doing. Even though her face is bright red, she\'s still such a naughty little elf.\'

"Hah!? Asura, wait!!"

He grabbed her body in his embrace tighter as they rushed towards their destination. Her small voice tried to protest as the wind battered their faces, her body held still with both his powerful hands, holding her in place.

"Behave, we are almost there."

The two sped through the sky, heading straight for the Goblin settlement in the distance. They arrived in less than 30 seconds; the area was bustling with green-skinned goblins going about their day, not knowing trouble was coming.

"..."

Celine remained quiet, her eyes watching Asura with red cheeks, while he intentionally placed it between her smooth cheeks with a wicked smile.

[Don\'t play with me again, or I\'ll devour everything you have, little princess.]

He could not help but tease her. After all, it would be a shame to let his erection die down and not enjoy the paradise of a perky Elven ass.

"Stupid Asura! I\'ll tell my mother!"

"Then I\'ll just sleep with her instead."

"No! You can\'t!"

\'I can\'t what?\'

Asura purposely teased Celine, who knew there was no way her mother would do anything intimate with him, yet she was acting on an emotion she could not control.

\'Lumeris, Nova. Let\'s have some fun.\'

He lowered their bodies to the entrance of the camp while holding out his hand, and then the beautiful black spear with an enormous sword blade on the end appeared.

"Eh? Your weapon it\'s like a sword attached to a glaive. How cute."

The princess giggled, slipping from his grasp while drawing her Elven glaive. The weapon, with beautiful patterns carved into its shaft, was elegant and easy to wield by an Elven maiden\'s compact frame.

"Yeah, I\'ll try this one for today and see how it compares to my swords."

"Don\'t you just want to be like me? Ehehe."

"Heh... Yeah, I like you, so I wanted to use the same."

Asura laughed, petting the little princess on the head before raising his weapon over his shoulder and looking at the enemies.

"You take all the stage fives. I\'ll take the stage six\'s. Today you can only use your physical body, no magic. I will do the same."

Celine felt no fear or nervousness when facing these enemies. Instead, her face brimmed with excitement and confidence as she could not wait to have some fun.

Asura looked towards the northeastern cliff, watching Spica, who sat on the edge observing them. The two shared a glance and nodded in agreement; Asura knew if anything went wrong, Spica would step in and assist Celine. However, he wanted her to see just how much the Elven princess was improving.

\'A fun battle without magic is good training for my newly improved body, the pinnacle of mortals? Isn\'t that the step before demigod?\'

With that thought, Asura aimed to charge forward at the goblins in front of him, only to find his body shot over a hundred metres, creating a loud boom as his spear tore through five goblins that were in his path, the blade brutally tearing them apart like pulled pork.

"..."

\'Wow... Did I just run 100 metres in the blink of an eye? I couldn\'t even feel myself moving. Is this the effect of my body becoming one with the monoliths?\'

Asura could not help but marvel at his abilities. After all, he felt like a peerless existence. With a single sweep of his lance, the blade carved a deep gash in the solid stone, and even the air whistled from the movement of his weapon.

\'Forget it; let\'s focus on the battle!\'

He shook his head, staring at the horde of goblins in front of him that noticed his presence.

"Ah!? You cheated! You used magic!!!" Celine said with a pout. However, Asura looked at her with a wicked grin.

"That wasn\'t magic, but raw ability!"

"What is that? Stupid Asura."

The elf stomped her feet in anger before sprinting towards her first target.

A group of five stage five goblins with rotten teeth and inflamed skin came rushing at her, yet an explosion rang out as a massive crater appeared on the other side of the village; Asura\'s weapon created a huge crevice, stopping the two from interfering with each other.

[Stupid Asura, I don\'t need help... but why does he look so cool fighting the goblins?]

However, his actions meant she could focus on her enemies now, lowering her spear and hips. She prepared to fight.
