The Way of a Demon Lord-Novel

Chapter 165: Breakthroughs

Seven more priv chapters coming tomorrow- hopefully. And this month, I will not be able to do any mass releases… for the first twenty days. But I will do several in the last week. Here are the criteria-

I) 2500 priv chapter unlocks

II) 150 Golden Tickets

III) Rank top 75 ongoing original in monthly all-time trending

Also, *ahem*, mass releases for every super gift I receive.

Moreover, if we can reach 5000 priv unlocks by the end of this month, I will do 3 chapters per day the next whole month. Stay tuned! Enjoy!

*********

Half a year passed. But the climate remained the same, no- it got even worse. The capital had been flooded for days now. Before the after effects of the previous storms could totally subside, new downpours filled the whole city to the brim again.

But the city remained busy as before. Rafts and other amphibious vehicles replaced the carriages as people rowed to their works. Hundreds of water magic circles ensured that the rain water does not mix with the household wastes. Metal circles placed at restricted zones at the outskirts of the city absorbed all the incoming thunder strikes and protected the city.

In truth, the Royal family had more than enough resources to improve the drainage system and make sure that the city is not flooded ever again- just like Aurlith, the capital of Aurgoth. But the citizens themselves wanted it to remain this way. This was more than just a culture or tradition to them- it was a part of their lives.

But this sentiment was only shared by the citizens, not the royals. The premises of the Royal Palace of Nemphis was completely clear, devoid of any unwanted water. There was a visible rainbow arching over the mystical palace- making it look even more magical. This was a result of a special light magic circle, a handiwork of the Queen Mother herself. The circle caused the formation of rainbow after every rainfall.

But the colourful arch could not be witnessed from one of the core rooms of the palace- a room without windows. In the dark room, where the only source of illumination was the little light sneaking in through the gaps of the door, a young man was sitting cross legged on a cushion.

He was half naked. His perfectly sculpted body was covered with a layer of perspiration. His devilishly handsome face was twitching. The youth’s forehead was creased and brows were arched.

Minutes later, his whole body relaxed. A sigh escaped his lips, blowing out turbid air. Adrian’s eyes opened, revealing a pair of black holes that seemed to suck in the scant light the dark room had.

A satisfied smile crept up on his lips as he checked his own magic core. 

“Finally, level 6.” He muttered. The smile on his face grew wider. “Wind circlers, O wind circlers, you are no storms or gales to me anymore. Now, you are just summer breezes, only capable of swaying my hair and fluttering my clothes.”

*Knock. Knock*

“Come in.” The Queen Mother’s voice was now much more reserved, devoid of any trace of Majesty and authority. But it did not diminish the charm even by a little.

The door opened. An exceedingly handsome young man stepped in, closing the door behind. 

Her lips curled up to a smile as he approached her desk. But soon, her eyes squinted and her brows knitted further and further the more he came close.

Adrian came to a stop, just before the desk. “Greetings, your highness.” He bowed.

“Something about you…” Her frown had yet to go away. Her blue eyes were staring right into his abyssal ones. “Feels different today.”

“Maybe it’s because I made a breakthrough.” He smiled.

“Oh. Is that so?” Her eyes finally went back to normal. “Congratulations!”

“My pleasure.” He bowed again. The magic circle designs lying on the desk came into his sight. One of his brows rose up, and so did him.

He circled around the table, his eyes still fixed on the prototypes. “Looks like I am not the only one who made a breakthrough.” He was already behind the Queen Mother.

“Is that so?” She giggled.

Adrian pushed the shoulders of her dress down and began to knead her bare and fair shoulders and nape.

“Yes.” He nodded. “If I am not wrong, you already tested this and it was a success.”

Her eyes glinted for a moment. “I was about to surprise you.” She pouted. “But like always, you know everything.”

“Oh yes.” He arched his back forward, bringing his mouth to her left ear. “I know what you like.” He whispered. 

His hot breath tinted her face pink.

He wrapped his arms underneath her breasts and pecked the left side of her neck. “You look cute when you blush.”

She looked away. “Sto… stop.”

“No, I won’t.” He kissed her on her left cheek and hugged her even tighter, strangling her mounds a little.

“Ple… please.” Her face was completely red. Blood could burst out from her cheeks any moment.

He finally let go of her. He stood back up again, but both of his hands were on her mounds, kneading them. “So, you finally finished the spell that blinds and damages the enemies at once. Any attack can be defended, but you can’t defend something you can’t see. A brilliant spell indeed. Moreover, it’s greatest feature is it’s area effect and massive range.” He remarked. “Well done.”

“It’s all thanks to you. If not for your instructions, help and… the massage, I couldn’t possibly reach here.” She blushed. His indecent action of kneading her breasts did not bother her at all. If anything, it felt good and normal.

“What’s your next plan?” Both of his hands slipped through her dress and began to play with her tits.

“It’s actually something grand.” She said, puffing her chest out. “I plan on completely combing fire and light. If I can integrate the heat of fire and the speed of light, I am sure it will be one of the most destructive spells ever- maybe even capable of matching the Imperial spell.” Her eyes were sparkling while her tone permeated excitement.

Even Adrian raised his brows in commendation.

“Nice, you can do it.” He gave her boobs a tight knead.

“Ah…” She whimpered.

“But before that, I need you to send a letter to your aunt.”

The smile disappeared from her face; a scowl replaced it. “Is it time already? You are leaving?”

He stopped playing with her breasts and looked to the East, his dark eyes penetrating everything on the way. A smile appeared crept up on his face.

“Yes.”
