Crimson Overlord

The gentle rays of the rising sun peered their way through the light curtains and provided a serene light in the room.

However,

”Mm~”

With a soft groan, Nemesis’s naked body collapsed on Orpheus’s chest as her body twitched softly.

They both sighed in satisfaction.

Nemesis’s expression of satisfaction after a climax was very sexy. To be honest, he was tempted to start a new round of attacks after seeing it.

But well, it was already morning, so he should stop already.

Orpheus smiled softly and felt the warmth of the two girls on the bed.

Last night was sure intense. He couldn’t help but chuckle.

”Good morning, Kyle.” Nemesis said with a small smile.

“Good morning, beauty.” He grinned and kissed her soft lips, making the beauty giggle before returning the kiss.

Unfortunately, it seemed like she was not satisfied with just a kiss. She glued her naked body against his and kissed his lips repeatedly, her expression was one of extreme happiness.

”I love you,” She said sweetly.

“I know.”

He smiled and caressed her hair, kissing her forehead softly.

Right then, Orpheus felt someone kissing his neck from the other side.

At some point, Kaguya had woken up as well. She then put a hand on his chest and kissed his neck gently, looking at him with a seductive expression.

In front of the attacks of these two beauties, he got a reaction; his holy weapon that had been in a holy crusade the entire night was once more ready to go to war.

However, he knew he shouldn’t do that, or they would stay here doing nothing but sex all day.

The girls could feel his reluctance to engage in all-day sex.

Suddenly, Nemesis grinned; seeing her grin, he knew she was up to no good.

”Kyle darling. I’m hungry. Prepare something for us to eat. It has been a long time since I last ate a dish you made. Are you not tempted, little sister?” Nemesis said while glancing at the Ice queen.

And when she heard her, Kaguya’s eyes began to shine; she even started salivating.

Naturally, she joined Nemesis pushing him out to cook something. Orpheus could only smile, letting them get what they wanted.

Outside he saw Brünhild standing not far from their room. She was lost in thought. Appearing behind her.

”What are you thinking about?”

”Morning, master. Nothing important.” She replied, and Orpheus nodded, not asking for details. He approached her and did something unexpected.

”Did you sleep well?” He asked while combing her hair.

”I couldn’t sleep well. I was thinking about what had happened. I wanted to help you master will everything I have.” She declared after a moment of silence.

”Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll help me a lot in the future.” He comforted her.

Brünhild happily nodded.

“Go wait for me in the kitchen; you will help me prepare breakfast.” He said, and for some unknown reason, Brünhild became extremely happy upon hearing this order.

Orpheus stepped across space and went to see a certain vampire. He visited Angel, and after they exchanged a few words, he noticed something.

Turning her around to face him, his crimson eyes stared straight into her beautiful golden eyes, and he said.

”I know he deserves it, but he not worth you troubling yourself over him. Let me handle it. What awaits him is hell itself.”

Saying that, he whispered something into Angel’s ear.

Her body trembled when she heard what her master had in store for the poor lad.

”You are pretty ruthless. Did you know that?” She asked.

Shrugging his shoulders, Orpheus responded, ”I dunno what you’re talking about. It’s just a light punishment. Nothing serious.”

‘A light punishment, you say? You’re planning to screw his mother and cause his empire’s downfall and call it light punishment? You must be sick if it is the case.’ He could hear his inner self telling him that.

Orpheus left shortly after. It was time to cook for the girls. While cooking, he was already thinking about the meeting he would be having soon.

°°°°°°

The imperial palace, the empress quarter, in one of her many gardens.

Thorned hedges and shrubs encircled an ornate plot of grass. A greenhouse stands to the right of the garden, offering a step into a different world of nature. The rows of flowers need some care and love but look great nonetheless; they’re forever trying to expand. The hedges and shrubs reach 1.5m/5ft high, but they could do with a little trimming to balance things out. A path of marble stones loops around the garden, presenting visitors with an elegant way of discovering the garden. Vines and grass seem to refuse to try and claim more land than they’ve been allocated, perhaps thanks to some intervention by green thumbs.

The greenhouse was almost like a caretaker of the garden in its own right. The rows of flowers usually look amazing, and the hedges and shrubs do attract some attention, but you just can’t compete with the greenhouse.

And sitting inside this greenhouse was the empress Lillia. Lillia was reading the newspaper with one hand while enjoying tea with the other one.

After finishing reading, she folded the newspaper and put it on the table.

”Have you found something on that man?”Lillia asked her most trusted maid and Orpheus’s subordinate told the empress exactly what her master had told her.

”Ohohoho! So he has a lot of connections, even with the famous Zeroth Organization. I wonder what the man does.” The empress mumbled but received no answer.

”Forget it. Prepare I must meet him and use him. Men are all the same. I’d soon have him under my grasp, and he would do anything I wanted. Fufufu! I can’t wait and see.”

Nia nodded before disappearing; she felt pity for this delusional woman. She was completely clueless about what was awaiting her and her son.

°°°°°

In another location not far from the academy, a new ruin appeared, and two teachers were sent to evaluate the rank of this ruin; among them was the man who fought against Orpheus and lost. He was the leader of this expedition.

Upon arriving at the site, the second teacher moved toward the entrance and stopped moving, and fell silent.The leader felt something was off, and hewalked toward his subordinate. He was standingstill as if hypnotized, with his eyes out of focus.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” He asked, shakingthe man’s shoulder, but the latter remained in the same state.

Suddenly, a bright light shone out of the plate the name of the ruin was written on.The leader covered his eyes with his left hand, nearlyblinded by the light;suddenly, that subordinateran toward the ruin, huffing, and puffing.

“Hey! Where are you going?!” The leader shouted, trying to pursuehim.

However,the maneasilypushed open thegiganticdoor of the icy ruin, then ran intoit.

He hesitated for a moment, thinking,’Do I go in…?’Hecould not shakeoff theuneasy feeling creeping up on him, but he shook his head and made a decision.Heentered the Winterkill Ruin, as he could not abandon his subordinatemember.

The interior of the ruin was white all over;it wasfilled with frost andtransparent blocks of ice, andthe air within was bitterly cold.He found his standing dazedlyinside;he ran towardhim and kickedhim.

Thankfully, the man seemed to come back to his senses. He protested,”Ah! teacher! Why are you suddenly kicking me?”

“Shut up! Don’t you remember what happened?” heasked.

“What are you talking about? Huh? Where are we?” the man looked around in surprise.The leader sighed in resignation, thenturned around and walked toward the ruin’s door.

Creak…

The door suddenlyshut.He banged onitwith all his might. However,even though it hadeasily opened when his subordinate pushed it, the doordid not budge an inch this time. Asthe light that hadenteredthrough the door disappeared, the ruin wascast into such darkness that the twohad a hard time identifying what was immediately in front of them.

Suddenly, the second teacher, who had good night vision, suddenly pointedat somethingand said, “Look at that!”

Numerous pale white skeletons slowlyrosefrom thefrozenfloor. Unlike normal skeletons made of bone, they were made of ice. The Ice Skeletonsweremuch stronger monsters compared to normal undead, and atleast 500 of them had risen from the ice-cold floor.

The second teachertrembled, screaming in horror, “What should we do?!”

“What else can we do? Raise your weapon!”As a leader, he could only say that; he gritted his teeth as he tightly grippedhisblunt weaponin his left arm.

Since that fight, he lost confidence; this mission was a chance to redeem himself; like hell, he would die here. He would show that student what an amazing teacher he was.
