Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix

Asura and Xavida walked to the portal together, no longer holding hands and standing slightly apart to avoid people's rumours at the request of Xavida.

'She seems to be doing it for me and mentioned the princess for some reason.'

While standing together, he could feel something watching them. A gaze that didn't hide its disgust and sheer hostility towards them.

He turned his head slightly, trying to use the most shallow angle to glance at the enemy, but the direction was towards the king, and many people were standing there who might wish damage upon them both.

'The prince looks strange. He no longer bothers me or tries to make trouble...'

But the way he looked was as if someone superior had already won. It made Asura feel strange, as if they had planned something they knew he couldn't survive.

"Students Asura Fenix and Xavida Bahamot, please enter the portal."

A teacher mused as his eyes could not see anything substantial other than a male with a strange robe and symbol on the chest... Asura was sure that was the symbol of the Fallen Sun...

A cult that hated dragons and offered assassinations!

"Xavida, give me your hand," Asura growled as she obeyed him despite wishing to avoid it, not wanting him to lose chances with the other women he might chase. Dragon females were too kind... as Xavida's father had more than eight wives, she didn't find it wrong.

"Mm! Darling, I will."

The moment they held hands, he felt the pressure skyrocketed.

Rather, the people aiming at Xavida became obvious when holding her hand, causing his heart to drop. Over ten people were sending negative feelings towards her, and six of those were students!

"Let's go inside, my cute wife. I will keep you safe."

"Nn! Bad guy's enemies will meet my fist too! Hehe."

Entering the blue portal surrounded the pair with a strange sensation, washed over with a thick blue jelly substance before the world began to throb and swirl rapidly inside the portal.

The blue ripples increased faster and faster until they teleported their bodies to the Green Wild as planned.

There was a monster waiting for them...

However, the pair held each other's hand tighter and shot forward using their six pairs of wings, sending them towards the monster like two bolts of flesh from a crossbow.

"Let's go, Xavi!"

"Nn!"

Without calling out their name, Lumeris Nova appeared in Asura's hand. Instantly, his magic technique formed a line of ice along the huge blade as it slashed down, tearing the monster's face with a deep gash.

The blow could not slay the monster, but the ice caused its face to crack before it exploded, forcing its face to snap backwards, falling as Xavida, held onto her twin daggers, shot forward as literal lightning.

"Die!"

∟ Dual thunder Lance

Two streaks of electricity danced around the daggers in Xavida's grip—she launched forwards in a spiralling pattern before slicing the half-mutant humanoid monster with a cross-shaped slash, tearing the prone monster into pieces of electrified flesh.

The moment she landed, a frog-type monster appeared for a moment before its huge tongue shot out like a deadly dart with a sharp tip aimed to explode Xavida's head like a melon.

"Not this time~ Haha!"

Asura's body was right behind Xavida, his feet glowing with purple lightning as he grasped her elbow and twisted her body. They changed places as he thrust his sword-lance forward with a loud howl of the wind.

⟪Devil Arts⟫

∟ Absolute Ice

Instantly, an enormous flower of ice bigger than the body of both Asura and Xavida formed from the tip of his weapon, forming a flower that collided with the frog's tongue.

The sub-zero blue flower snapped around the tongue, freezing it and spreading permafrost towards the frog through its saliva.

Once again, holding hands, their bodies darted forward as Asura's wind magic fluttered with a green light around them, chasing the frozen tongue and ice while the frog seemed to panic, unable to move.

"Not this time! Hehehe~" Xavida copied Asura from before as she released his hand and spread her dragon wings out, instantly leaping into the air and sucking in the surrounding air. A crackling lightning swirled inside her mouth and around her scales.

Asura remained on the ground with his arms spread, making the same motion, his mouth filling with a black flame different from Xavida his mouth wreathed in black smoke and embers as his wings flapped, blowing the snow from the ground, his cheeks bulging out before the two dragons eyes both glowed.

⟪White Dragon Arts⟫

∟ Vanquishing Dragon's Breath!

A brilliant purple streak of electricity launched outwards, targeting the monsters behind the frog, a pack of stage three wolves with strange mutated fur built to resist flames or fire magic.

"Wah!"

⟪Black Dragon Arts⟫

∟ Devouring Dragon's Breath!

Unlike Xavida, Asura's breath was one of destruction and devastation as his body swirled with the power of both his phoenix and dragon bloodlines, the flame a fusion of both as he snapped his head back and flicked forward with his mouth open as if spitting a bone from his mouth.

"Graaawr!"

The intent of destruction and desire to devour filled the huge cone of flames, spreading out wider than fifteen metres and ten metres tall. The more he breathed out, the burst of flame enveloped the frozen frog and covered the wolves before the lightning of Xavida's breath struck.

Asura's ball of fire finally shot from his lips, curving through the air with a low howl as it smashed into the area just behind the frog ahead of the wolves as a single arc of Xavida's silver lightning flickered and jolted the ball...

"Bullseye!"

"Goodnight! Naughty wolves!"

The pair snapped their fingers as the forest exploded with a shuddering blast... the moment her lightning triggered the concentrated fire breath, an explosion spread out, covering a fifty-metre dome. They devoured everything in the dome.

The dirt, snow, grass, monsters...

Only an empty crater going five metres deep remained.

Xavida dropped, landing in Asura's arms like his princess. Their synergy was almost perfect as she kissed his lips, the slight flames flickering against her white lightning breath enhancing their passionate kiss as their mana rapidly recovered.

"Mmmn~ so good."

With their hearts beating in sync and flowing in a rapid beat of eight thumps a second, they calmed themselves, closing their eyes, taking deep breaths and sensing the surrounding area.

"Five flying monsters are approaching about a mile from the north."

"Ten Naughty Wolves and a strange monster from 500 metres west.

Asura lifted the cute Xavida and put her back on the floor as they looked into each other's eyes. They didn't speak, understanding each other perfectly as she prepared for the next battle.

"I take the wolves, you the birds?" She asked while peeking at his beautiful wings, one pair filled with black flaming feathers and covered in scales with sharp blades, the other like dark shards of ice, making strange armour sprouting from his shoulders that made the air cool just appearing.

"Sounds Great!"

His back fluttered before he took off the ground and shot towards the flying enemies his sword-lance in hand with the blade glowing with dark flames.

Xavida watched him momentarily before she held her daggers towards the forest and lowered her posture, purple and pale lightning flickering from her body and the blades watching the dark forest with shining eyes.

"Come on, Naughty Wolves."
