Chapter 432: Jackpot!
After seeing Agapius die in a horrible way because of his injuries, the other angels got even more afraid of Lucien. The way he tore off the pathetic angel's wings will give them nightmares for the rest of their lives.
Then Lucien looks at the other Earth Realm angels who were energizing the portal and points his naginata at them. "Do you also want to die?"
Those angels quickly kneel on the ground and begin to beg for their lives. "Please, don't kill us!!"
Lucien sighs and flies to his group, landing in front of Helena. "You must keep them under control until we decide what to do with them."
"Alright." Helena quickly nods. She is happy that he did not kill them all, but she knows that it is not over yet. "Can I give the dead a simple funeral?"
He nods at her and then looks at Eve and Pride. "I have to take a bath. Can we talk in an hour?"
"Sure." Eve nods. "Relax as long as you need to; we'll clean up this mess."
He smiles at her and then opens the purple world portal as Sophia quickly stands beside him. "I'm going to wash you."
"Me too!!" Amelia quickly gets on the other side of him.
Lucien's other wives also get ready to enter the portal. They just fought a few minutes, but it was enough for them to be covered in blood, at least the girls who fight in close combat styles.
Eve, Helena, and Genevieve organize the angels and explain to them that now their lives are in Lucien's hands while his troops prepare an improvised camp to take a break. The vanguard of the troops fought the angels, and the mages made a significant effort to destroy the barrier.
The other women sit at a large stone table that Daisy creates. Rose is especially excited to talk to her mother about the fight against the Sky Realm angels.
Lucien makes the portal takes them directly to the main bathroom of his house. Once there, he realizes that the large pool is already filled with hot water and fragrant soap, everything prepared by Kara and little Ko for him.
He can't help wanting to reward them more and more, especially the cute maid, for all her hard work. And her sixteenth birthday will be in four days, so he will do something special for her.
He dematerializes his clothes and places the Ghost Lady on the floor beside the pool. And just then, does he realize that he is still holding the golden naginata.
"You don't need it right now..." Lust whispers as she strokes his cock.
Lucien looks at the naginata with a thoughtful expression. "I have never felt so powerful... I know it's also because of her..."
"Soul Weapons has such properties." Lust responds.
"But I don't feel that way when I hold my katana..." He thinks out loud.
She quickly explains. "Soul weapons are linked to our soul, so your katana still has a lot to evolve along with your soul until it becomes really powerful. This naginata, on the other hand, was made from Aylin's soul when she was in her peak."
"I see..." He speaks as he places the golden naginata next to the Ghost Lady on the floor near the pool. Not for the power, but he wants to be near to Aylin's soul as he feels increasingly close to her.
Then Lucien enters the hot water pool with his girls. Sophia and Amelia quickly pick up sponges and soap to wash his body, making the other girls jealous.
Amelia focuses on washing his hair while Sophia begins to wash his skin. Lucien feels really great with their delicate touches and the very hot water.
Then Lust materializes her body in front of Lucien and begins to wash his groin. As soon as she washes all the blood and dirt from his body, she smiles lewdly at him.
"I don't think I washed this part well..." She says while stroking his hard cock in the hot water. Then she dives into the pool.
"Ahh..." Lucien closes his eyes and relaxes while Lust washes his cock with her mouth. Her throat is hotter than the water, and he feels like his cock is melting inside her mouth.
The other girls realize that Lust is having fun and quickly approach him to have fun too. When he realizes it, Amelia is already kissing his lips while Sophia kisses his chest, and the pool water starts to smell like the girls' love juices.
-----------------------------
In the normal world, only an hour has passed, but that time was three times longer in the purple world, allowing Lucien and his girls to have a really pleasant bath.
Then, except for some girls who stayed in the purple world, like Mia, Aria, Ella, and others, they went back to Argerim.
That battlefield is still destroyed since the first battle against the angels, but the dead are being burned at big ceremonial bonfires while the other angels pay respect to their dead friends.
At three hundred meters away from that area, Lucien's troops are resting in an improvised camp while the other women are at a new large stone table built by Daisy near the trees.
Eve smiles at Lucien when she sees him return from the purple world. And Donna smiles at Angela as she brings a tray of food for her, Eve, and Helena, because Daisy, Rose, and the Sins don't really like food.
Lucien takes an apple from the tray and tosses it to Genevieve as he sits at the stone table. "So... things seem to be going pretty well."
"We burned the bodies and took everything of value they had." Eve comments. "The soldiers didn't have much, but the leader and those three Sky Realm angels had so many treasures and resources in their storage rings."
Helena does not show reactions to those words, but Genevieve cannot prevent her expression from getting upset. Lucien notices that and looks at her. "Do you have something to say?"
Genevieve thinks about complaining; after all, those three Sky Realm angels were her friends. Still, she replies to Lucien in a respectful tone. "They searched for their deaths by attacking your group. I also attacked you, and I'm grateful that you spared me."
"I spared those angels because of Helena. However, I didn't spare you for mercifulness, but because you will serve me from now on." He looks at her with a rigid expression.
"I understand," Genevieve speaks in a serving tone. She is confused to see Lucien act so lovingly with his woman but still seem to be so ruthless at other times.
Envy rolls her eyes. "We still must put a Soul Mark on her."
That Soul Mark she is talking about is not a mark like the contract tattoo that Lucien and the Sins can make, but a slave mark superior to the Dark Mark. Daisy could make a Soul Mark because she is a Sky Realm mage and have vast knowledge.
"I don't like slavery..." Lucien makes a thoughtful expression. "If she doesn't obey me, I'll kill her, simple like that."
"This is very different from slavery..." Genevieve comments in a very low and sarcastic tone.
He makes a fake upset expression. "Did you say something?"
She makes a sorry expression. "I... I asked if I must call you Master?"
"Only when you deserve it." He chuckles.
Pride rolls her eyes as Eve smiles and continues to explain the situation to Lucien. "We tried to recover the resources that those angels were using to energize the portal, but we were not very lucky with that."
Sloth continues. "Those angels had already started to extract energy from those resources, mainly light magic crystals, so there was no way to stop that process."
"But, the portal was not finished because that energy flowed away when you used the golden naginata. Its energy is similar to that of Pride, and it forces any other energy away."
"Yet..." She smiles. "That energy remains near this area, on land, trees, and air. It will not only influence this place in unpredictable ways, but it will also make any portal here more efficient."
"How much more efficient?" Lucien asks.
Sloth responds in her usual slow tone. "Perhaps even twice as efficient. With the resources we get from those Sky Realm angels, you can now take all your troops to your homeworld, and we haven't even taken the life crystals from that mine yet."
"Great!" He smiles, while his sisters can't help but think about their mothers.
"Does that mean we could go home now?" Donna asks.
Eve shakes her head. "It's still too early for that. We need a lot more power..."
"We also need to find Naomi and Claire and resolve the issues with the Bloody Rose." Lucien comments. "As soon as we get together, we should go to the Blue Star look for the Phoenix."
"Yes." Eve nods and then makes a concerned expression. "I don't like to leave our sisters walking around alone, especially with these angels coming here."
"I am also concerned with them," Lucien comments and then looks at Genevieve and Helena. "But before we go looking for them, we need to understand more about the angel called Alexa."
Genevieve understands that it can quickly become a torture session, so she doesn't try to hide anything. "Lady Alexa would have come to here immediately after she found out that you guys took her personal assistant and the cursed sword she is looking for."
"But there are spies of the Emperor watching her all the time, so she is preparing to leave Qia without drawing too much attention, while Agapius should ensure that your group does not run away before she arrives." She explains.
Lucien makes a mocking expression. "It looks like she doesn't know who to trust on..."
Genevieve gets upset. "There was no way for Lady Alexa to know that there are such powerful demons in this inferior world."
"Anyway..." He takes an apple from the fruit tray and bites it. "How long do we have until she gets here?"
"Two or three days." Genevieve quickly responds. "She takes very good care of her servants, and she very much wants the cursed sword to help our people."
Lucien puts the Ghost Lady on the table, and the silver blade trembles, showing a high desire to return to the scabbard on his belt.
"She doesn't seem to want to get away from her Master..." He comments as he smiles provocatively at Genevieve.
"She?" Genevieve makes a confused expression.
"Cursed weapons are made with fragments of souls, so they have personality." Lust explains.
Genevieve still has doubts. "And how do you know that her personality is feminine?"
Envy laugh. "Just watch how excitedly she shakes when Lucien touches her hilt."
While the other girls giggles, Lucien explains. "We know a little about her past, but in any case, I will discuss that with Alexa personally."
"For sure." Genevieve nods. "It would also be good for the negotiations if Lady Alexa's assistant is alive..."
"I can bring June here in less than an hour," Eve suggests.
Lucien nods. "Yes, that will be good. But as we have a few days until Alexa arrives, I also think we can look for our sisters in that meantime."
"What do you suggest?" Eve asks him.
He looks at Sloth and Daisy. "How long you need to make a portal to the moon?"
"It is not too far..." Sloth comments.
Daisy nods. "And we have a lot of resources. So we can make the portal in an hour. But it will take several hours to get someone to the moon."
"I should go after I take June." Eve comments.
Lucien makes a thoughtful expression. "I was thinking of going since I can take more people in my soul without spending more resources on the portal..."
Eve smiles at him. "I think you better stay to wait for Alexa. If she arrives before me, it will be nice to have you here to negotiate our alliance."
Pride rolls her eyes. "We all know how he negotiates with beautiful women..."
