Chapter 474: Battle Of The Manor (Part 6)
The elders weren’t holding up too well. In fact, it was safe to say that several of them were on death’s door. Only the old grandma and one other could still fight and fight they did, holding their ground against the two grand elders from the first family.
As for the other four, they were trying to best to get up, but it was becoming more and more hopeless. What didn’t help was that the two grand elders had taken to targeting the four injured ones any chance they got, causing the two that could still stand to had to sacrifice an injury just to keep them from dying.
More and more though, they focused on two of the elders, ignoring the other two. What was worse was that they were the most injured and therefore could barely defend themselves. As such, the grandma and her partner would get more and more injured in each attack that they left them having an opening.
"Ha. I think that’s quite enough, don’t you?" One of the grand elders asked at one point, although he wasn’t looking at the other grand elder when he said this. Instead, he was looking at the two deathly injured old men whose bodies looked about ready to collapse.
The elder grandma had just lost the use of her left arm, blocking an attack aimed at killing one of them. She was covered in so much blood it was hard to see what color her garments were before being coating in red.
Due to this, when the words were spoked, she didn’t understand what he meant. Looking over, her still standing partner also looked confused, as did the two who were barely standing behind them.
To almost everyone’s amazement, after the grand elder spoke those words, the two almost dead elderly Fae suddenly stood up while brushing themselves off, their faces once contorted in pain now showing a look of ease along with a smile of mockery.
"It was going so well though?" One of the risen elders said through a sneer.
"It was, but pretty soon she won’t be able to protect you and our little secret will be out. Plus, she is injured enough as it is. Before something unexpected happens, we need to kill her off.
"Understood. The agreement is still valid?" One of them asked, no concern nor regret present.
"Of course. Just as we talked about before. You and your families shall join us on our escape out of here. As the master has said, we shall be given space to rule our own planets once the Infernal has made contact with his people. As you are willing to support him as well, you too shall have your pick of planets with which to reign over," the grand elder said with a chuckle, still amused about the job these two did in helping them take down the other four. While they were the weakest of the bunch, their efforts made everything so much easier for the two grand elders to take down the grandma. Her realm was the highest one here after all, being in the late stage void emperor realm.
"I see. Of course. I was shocked when you two wanted to follow along. I had already placed you in the camp of complete wastes. But to think that even they have more honor than you. Truly something I never would have expected,’ the grandma spat, looking at the two traitors.
"You had your chance, old thing. But you choose death. Don’t worry though. Were we are going, we will need servants. And I’m sure the people of your four houses will make excellent slaves, ha ha ha." The bastard traitor just kept rambling, even if everyone had stopped listening.
...
Laz had momentarily forgotten himself and just began screaming and swearing as though he had something wrong in his head.
Of course A’ruya had explained how he should help Maia and that was what lead to his current outburst.
"I CAN’T FUCKING BELIEVE THIS..." Laz yelled again, before realizing that not only was he talking out loud, but he was also still in the same room as the three sick individuals.
"Uh... Master?" Jill said, trying to get his attention.
"YEAH? Uh. Yes... ok... well..."
"What is it?" Genevieve asked.
"I have a way to cure all three of them..." Laz said, although his voice was a little silent.
No one said anything as tears gathered on both Genevieve’s and Jill’s faces. As for the priestesses, they didn’t believe him but had been ordered before Ivana lost consciousness to listen to whatever he said.
"Anyway. I need everyone to leave. Out. Go." Laz said, trying to wave everyone away.
"Impossible. While we were ordered to listen to you, we also must remain close to ensure their health and safety. We can not, under any circumstances, leave!" The head priestess said, with steel in her words.
Laz didn’t argue. Instead he turned his attention on to the priestess and started circulating his blood and energy. He had a way to save them, but there was no way in hell he was going to to it while they were watching. He knew they would never agree to what he was going to do.
"Wait. WAIT!" Genevieve said, walking forward to stand between them.
"I know what you were ordered to do along with your private concerns. Perhaps, you will allow me to remain here in your place? That way if something does happen, I can simply call for help? Does that work?" Genevieve said, trying to convince the priestess.
At first, she wanted to reject the idea, but she already knew that Ivana trusted him. And what’s more, Maia trusted him. They had told her as much when they requested for the princess to go and fetch him. She didn’t understand it, but she knew that right now, there was nothing that she could so. So if he had a solution, she needed to give him a chance.
"It sounds like I do not have a choice. I will trust you princess. I hope you won’t let me down," the head priestess said, turning around to walk out of the room.
In the end, Genevieve, Jill and Laz were left alone in the silence.
"I should ask you to leave too, but I know that you won’t. So I guess you can help the princess," Laz said to Jill who happily stood up and moved over to Genevieve who was sitting with her mother.
"How can we help?" Genevieve asked, anxious to get on with curing then.
"Strip them... for starters." Laz said, still going through the things he had been shown by A’ruya so that he didn’t forget anything.
Genevieve got to work on her mother, but Jill hesitated.
"It’s ok. He knows what he is doing," Genevieve tried to reassure her, while also reassuring herself.
It didn’t take long until Sylvia and Ivana were laying there naked except for a sheet that was covering them.
Genevieve got up to strip Maia, but Laz stopped her.
"Just them for now. They will be easier to cure. Then we shall save Maia," Laz said, finally choosing to believe what A’ruya had told him.
’I don’t see how this would harm me anyway so for now, I will trust her I guess?’ Laz said to himself before sitting down next to Sylvia.
Just as they were looking on, Laz started undressing himself as well.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THIS ISN’T THE TIME FOR THAT," Genevieve yelled after seeing what Laz was doing. She had never forgotten about the time with her mother, but that was neither here nor there. After all, how could she want something like sex when her mother’s life was at stake?
"It’s .... uh.... not what you think..." Laz said, feeling a bit ashamed himself.
"Then what is it?" Genevieve asked still not convinced.
"The poison they were subjected too... seems it’s a blood poison. Both a mix of tainted blood and Infernal fire. Those two things are now inside of them, eating away at their life force, hollowing them from the inside out. If what I am told is the truth, this kind of blood poison is a common weapon for the Infernals."
"Ok... and let’s just say you’re right. How does that equal you needed to be naked?"
"Well... the solution was a pretty simple thing too. They just need ... well... they need something to help them burn off the poison and return the missing vitality."
"And?"
"And so... I will need to burn it out of them using my flames," Laz said, calling forth the black flame from inside of him.
"Ok. That doesn’t answer my question..."
"Because burning it away is one part of it. The other part is the injection of life force. And it turns out that getting a very concentrated dose of life force from a species that has a strong vitality will do with trick. It will restore them while also attracting the blood poison to itself."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"MY CUM, OK? I NEED TO GIVE THEM MY SEED OF LIFE? ARE YOU HAPPY?" Laz finally yelled, not able to explain in anything else other than blunt words.
"SO YOU’RE GOING TO FUCK THEM WHILE THEY ARE PASSED OUT?" Genevieve said, shocked beyond belief.
"NO. No... of course not..."
"THEN???"
"They need to to actually consume it, like consume consume...."
"..."
"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?" Genevieve raged.
"I KNOW, I KNOW. RIGHT? SERIOUSLY? THIS IS RIDICULOUS."
There was just silence as Laz sat there naked, watching the distressed breathing of Sylvia who was right next to him.
"I’m not going to let you do something to indecent to my mother while she isn’t able to wake," Genevieve finally said, coming to rest on her knees in front of Laz on the floor.
"So instead, I shall be responsible for feeding her the medicine while you take care of the rest."
And with that, she opened her mouth and spread out her hands in front of her, ready to catch the medicine so that not a single drop was wasted.
Laz could only sigh and hope he didn’t get his ass kicked later.
