Champion Of Lust: Gods Conquer's Harem Paradise!

Pyris summoned the death element, channeling it through his sword. The blade glowed with a sickly, dark energy as he launched himself forward, his superspeed carrying him directly to the Behemoth's chest. With a fierce cry, he plunged the sword into the creature, pouring all of his elemental power into the strike.

The Behemoth let out a deafening howl as the combined power of blood, darkness, time, and death tore through its massive form. Shadows writhed and screamed, and the Behemoth began to disintegrate, its massive body collapsing in on itself.

Panting, Pyris fell down completely spent, "this is nothing like the training in Battle Stimulation!" Fights there were easy to handle, not even 6% to what reality was!

The deeper Pyris ventured into Blackscale Grove, the darker and more hostile the forest seemed. His body still ached from the previous battles, but there was no time to rest. As he walked, the sound of raised voices broke through the eerie quiet of the forest, catching his attention. Pyris frowned and paused.

The voices were angry, and something about their tone made his instincts sharpen.

[Trouble,] Lia's voice echoed in his mind, filled with concern. [Want to investigate?]

Pyris sighed, already moving toward the dound. "Trouble always seems to find solace in me anyways"

When Pyris reached the source of the commotion, he found four awakeneds gathered in a loose circle. They were durrounding a girl, her small frame looking impossibly fragile compared to the others.

She had black hair, and her eyes were hollow, almost lifeless, as if she hadn't eaten in days. Despite her appearance, Pyris saw the fire in her—a will to survive, even when the odds were stacked against her.

One of the group, a tall vampire with crimson eyes and a sneer of superiority, spoke first. "You think you deserve a cut of tonight's hunt, Alera?" he spat. "You're nothing but dead weight. We kept you alive out of pity."

The girl, Alera, clenched her fists, her voice shaky but defiant. "I helped. I fought beside you. We had a deal."

A second figure, a tall elf with silver hair and cold eyes, scoffed. "No one cares about you, Alera. You have no family, no friends. No one will look for you when you disappear into this forest."

The group of four closed in on her, their expressions twisted with malice. Pyris's hand instinctively went to his sword, his mask hiding his identity. This wasn't a battle he wanted, but he knew he had to stop them before it was too late.

"Well I was craving some battle!" He grinned, he wasn't playing hero, wanted to fight fellow awakeneds too!

And...

"There's something about her, my shadow element is reacting to her!" But it wasn't that possible since he was the only one with the shadow element as far as the system explanation was concerned.

[Why don't we find out!] Lia pushed.

"Bastards," Pyris muttered under his breath. "They're going to kill her." he could feel something different about her, something the two shared, he had to find out and he wasn't about to let someone take away what he set his eyes on.

At least he would save her and after all she's a woman, *ahem* sorry an innocent girl, don't get him wrong *wink*

[Seems like it,] Lia responded, her voice tense. [But you're outnumbered, and they look experienced.]

Pyris stepped forward, cutting through the tension. "Why don't you try picking on someone who can fight back?"

The group turned toward him, their faces shifting from surprise to annoyance. The vampire sneered, his red eyes narrowing as he took in Pyris's Petne Chaos's form. "Who the hell are you?"

The elf's sharp eyes scanned Pyris up and down. "He's not one of the usual weaklings that wander this place," she said, her voice cautious. "Look at him. That face… no one would have looks like those"

The third member, a burly beast-human with wolf-like features and glowing yellow eyes, sniffed the air, his nose twitching. "It doesn't matter who he is. He's alone. Let's kill him, take whatever he's hiding, and leave."

But before they could act, the elf's eyes lingered on Pyris's face. Even beneath the mask, they were unnerved by his presence. "He's… too handsome. No one looks like that. Something's off."

The vampire snarled. "It won't matter when he's dead."

Pyris readied himself, gripping his sword as the vampire lunged forward with supernatural speed, claws outstretched.

Pyris reacted quickly, summoning the wind element to push himself backward, narrowly avoiding the vampire's strike.

[Wind, huh?] Lia's voice echoed in his mind. [That'll keep you alive. For now.]

Before Pyris could counter, the beast-human growled and charged, his massive claws gleaming in the dim light.

Pyris swung his sword to block, but the sheer strength of the beast-man nearly overwhelmed him. With a quick flick of his wrist, Pyris summoned the earth element, raising a stone barrier between them.

The beast-man roared, smashing through the stone with brute force, but Pyris had already blinked away using the space element, reappearing on the other side of the clearing.

The fourth member, a demon with black horns

and burning red eyes, raised his hands, summoning darkness magic. Darkness surged forward, wrapping around Pyris's legs, pulling him toward the ground.

[Get out of there, Pyris!] Lia shouted.

Pyris gritted his teeth, focusing his time element. The world slowed around him as he blinked out of the shadows, reappearing behind the demon. Before the demon could react, Pyris slashed with his sword, his blade crackling with fire magic.

"Aaahh"

The demon screamed as the flames severed through his body, but the fight was far from over.

The elf, watching the battle unfold, raised her hands, summoning green mana, Life magic. Thick vines erupted from the ground, twisting toward Pyris. He slashed through the first wave of vines with ease, but the elf kept coming, her magic relentless.

[You need to disrupt her casting,] Lia advised, her voice sharp. [Or she'll drown you in those vines.]

Pyris nodded, focusing on his blood element. He summoned the blood of the fallen demon, coiling it around his body like a weapon. With a quick flick, the blood tendrils shot out, wrapping around the elf's legs. She shrieked, stumbling back as Pyris pulled her toward him.

Before he could press the advantage, the vampire and the beast-man came at him from both sides. Pyris's mind raced. He needed to get control of the battlefield.

Summoning all his strength, Pyris combined

earth and fire to create a molten trap beneath the beast-man. The ground beneath him glowed red-hot, and the beast-man yelped as his feet sank into the molten earth. The vampire lunged at Pyris again, but Pyris quickly blinked behind him, slashing at his back with his sword.

[That's it!] Lia shouted. [Keep moving, don't give them a chance to corner you.]

Pyris summoned the darkness element, cloaking himself in shadows to evade the vampire's strikes. The elf, struggling to free herself from the blood tendrils, summoned more vines, but Pyris sent a burst of fire her way, burning them to ash.

The beast-man roared in frustration as he pulled himself free from the molten trap, his muscles seemed to have singed, quite strange.

He charged again, but this time, Pyris was ready. Using the time element, Pyris slowed time and dashed forward with super speed, his blade slicing cleanly across the beast-man's throat. The beast-man gurgled, collapsing to the ground, dead.

[Two down," Lia noted. [But you're bleeding, Pyris.]

The vampire growled in frustration, his

fangs bared. "You think this ends with me?!" he hissed. "I'll tear you apart!"

But Pyris wasn't listening. He summoned the death element, his sword glowing with dark energy. The vampire lunged at him, but Pyris met him head-on, their swords clashing with a burst of sparks.

With a fierce cry, Pyris drove his sword into the vampire's chest, the dark energy consuming him from within.

The vampire let out one final scream before

his body crumbled into dust.

The elf, now the last one standing, stared at Pyris in horror. "You… you're not human… no one can wield that many elements!" she gasped, her eyes wide with fear.

Pyris's eyes narrowed, "You shouldn't have seen this," he said quietly, stepping forward.

"Please… I won't tell anyone," the elf stammered, backing away. "I swear!"

But Pyris knew she couldn't be trusted.

With a final surge of darkness, he wrapped the shadows around her throat, choking off her pleas. The elf collapsed to the ground, her body going limp.

Panting, Pyris stood over the fallen bodies of his enemies, his breath heavy with exhaustion.

He activated Essence Devouring, drawing in the dark energy of the fallen awakeneds, their essencefueling his magic.

[They never stood a chance]Liasaid quietly.

Pyris nodded, though the weight of what he had done lingered in his mind. The girl, Alera, watched him in stunned silence, her dark eyes wide.

"Who… are you?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Pyris glanced at her, his expression unreadable behind the mask. "No one you need to worry about," he replied, turning away.He began walking back into the shadows of the Grove, leaving the girl and the bodies behind.

He's only purpose was to save her, that's it.
