Summoning the Holy Sword

Chapter 1279: The Devoted Psychic

"Replenish your spiritual powers?"

Rhode stared blankly as soon as he heard Lesa's words. The young lady laying in his embrace nodded slightly with no expression on her fair, delicate face. On the other side, Lapis was flustered.

"W-What? You ran out of spiritual powers? Erm, I do have some potions with me…"

"They won't be enough…"

Upon hearing Lapis's remarks, Lesa shook her head weakly and stared at Rhode with her clear, azure eyes.

"I need… Even more spiritual powers… Master…"

As a matter of fact, Lesa wasn't wrong because the lack of spiritual powers wasn't just her personal issue, but involved the spiritual powers of almost 200 projected players too. Moreover, they were also top players and the amount of spiritual powers they expended was astronomical. No matter how many potions Lapis brought with her, they wouldn't be enough to restore all of Lesa's spiritual powers. It was like how a carton of AAA batteries could never drive a gigantic machine. They were different in specifications to begin with, so there wasn't any comparison at all.

In other words, even if Lapis's potions were able to resolve the problem, she would need hundreds of thousands of them. Leaving aside the question of whether that many potions could replenish spiritual powers, there was the matter of whether Lesa would be stuffed to death.

But Rhode also knew what the source of the problem was. Currently, they were in a land of Chaos. The projected players weren't perfect projections like Canary and Mini Bubble Gum and needed to extract power to maintain their existences. If they were in a land of Order, the projected players could absorb power from the land, and Lesa wouldn't be under that much pressure. This was evident from before, when Rhode summoned 30,000 elite players in a day and Lesa didn't mention anything about over-consuming her spiritual powers. The situation was different now. After entering a land of Chaos, the projected players weren't able to abstract power from the land of Order. As a result, they turned to the 'power generator', Lesa, to maintain their existences instead. The projected players were like solar equipment that didn't need to worry about power sources whenever the sun shone. But when direct sunlight wasn't present, the solar equipment would switch to backup power, unlike Canary and Mini Bubble Gum, who generated their own power like nuclear reactors.

In this case, Lesa's burden was huge. She didn't have unlimited spiritual powers for extraction, which was why she couldn't persevere after a long time. At that moment, Lesa was in her final phase. It was imaginable that if she lacked the external energy support, perhaps the projected players would lose their energy source and vanish after a short while. When that happened… Rhode could only rely upon himself, Canary, Icy Snow, and Lapis to resist Chaos, which would be almost impossible.

What exactly should I do?

Gazing at Lesa, Rhode knitted his brows in deep thoughts. If he recalled correctly, when he first met Lesa after constructing the Astral Temple, the young lady said a whole bunch of things that could be printed into a thick manual of hundreds of pages. Back then, Lesa also seemed to mention needing to replenish her spiritual powers after they were over-consumed. However, she didn't explain further, and Rhode also didn't ask for an explanation either.

"What should I do?"

At this thought, Rhode asked. Lesa glanced around her, lifted her head, and spoke softly into his ear. Upon hearing her answer, Rhode's expression remained the same. However, his gaze changed abruptly for a split second before returning to normal. He raised his head and turned to Lapis.

"Lapis, how many bottles of potion did you bring?"

"I brought… About… 1000."

… Do you really intend to stuff Lesa to death?

"Little Icy, Canary, come here."

After receiving Lapis's reply, Rhode extended his arm and gestured with his hand immediately. Upon witnessing his action, Icy Snow and Canary hurried over, and Rhode gave a command without any hesitation.

"Canary, get the potions from Lapis and distribute them to the rest. Get them to hold on for as long as they can. Lapis, set up the Plane Destruction Bomb straight away. Little Icy, I need you to lead a team to protect Lapis from being harassed by Chaos creatures while she is setting up the Plane Destruction Bomb. Even though the Darkness Capital is rather stable with the isolation Order barrier, we can't risk it. Lapis, you just have to accomplish your task; don't worry about time. We need a complete and perfect explosion. It's all up to you now."

"Yes, Sir Rhode."

"I got it, Rhode."

After hearing his commands, Icy Snow, Lapis, and Canary nodded in agreement. They knew that this was a critical moment, which was why they didn't question further. Icy Snow was the only one who widened her eyes in doubt, gazed at Rhode, and asked curiously.

"What about you, Big Brother?"

Upon hearing Icy Snow's question, Rhode twitched his brows slightly, but quickly answered her.

"I'll find a way to help Lesa. During this period… Hmm, no one is allowed to disturb us. Unless it is something really important, we'll talk about it after I resolve this issue."

"Alright, Big Brother, I'm counting on you."

After hearing his answer, Icy Snow didn't seem to suspect anything, but nodded smartly, turned around, and left with Lapis and the others. Shortly after, the players who were resting gathered and retrieved magical potions from Canary and Icy Snow. Although the potions could only replenish a small part of their spiritual powers, it allowed them to delay some time, at the very least. As for the next…

Gazing at the group that went off, Rhode turned around, hugged Lesa in his arms, and left silently. After a few moments, Rhode carried Lesa into a parlor within the Darkness Palace. The surrounding Chaos creatures were all wiped out. In addition to the Order barrier, he didn't need to worry about any Chaos creatures finding trouble with him for the time being.

As the parlor of the Country of Darkness, it went without saying that it was snug and opulent. Soft, snow-white fur rugs and comfortable, luxurious sofas made up the grand decorations. The clear, sparkling crystals emanated spiritual lights that lit up the parlor, bringing a certain serenity to the darkness. But to Rhode, it was enough that he found a quiet place away from the crowd. After all, what was about to happen next… Yes, it wasn't meant to be admired by others.

"So, are you ready, Lesa?"

After locking the room door, Rhode sat on the sofa, turned over, and looked at the petite psychic. Upon hearing his question, Lesa nodded gently, knelt, and lifted her head to look at the man in front of her.

"Yes, Master. Please accept my devotion."

"Ugh… Hmm…"

Facing Lesa's words, Rhode revealed a subtle expression. But eventually, he nodded.

It wasn't surprising that Rhode displayed such an expression. As a matter of fact, the solution that Lesa proposed to replenish her spiritual powers was quite simple. The principles were similar to back when Rhode awakened Erin. But as a psychic of the Astral Temple, Lesa didn't need to borrow Rhode's strength to receive Order power like Erin. Rather, as a servant in the service of God, she devoted herself to the Gods in order to strengthen and transmit the powers…

Well, no matter what, what had to be done ultimately wouldn't change.

"Why do I feel so complicated…"

Gazing at the young lady who knelt between his legs, Rhode couldn't help but mumble under his breath. Right now, he was in a really complicated mood. This wasn't because he felt awkward having intimate interactions with Lesa, but considering the current situation, it gave him a difficult issue instead.

As a man, he naturally hoped to last as long as possible in bed. Being able to take on 10 women in one night without stopping was the pride of men. Even though this was Lesa's first experience, he still hoped to let her enjoy the thrills of being a female. But now that time was pressing, it also meant that he had to resolve the issue in the shortest time possible. In other words, he only had half an hour to do it.

A man who finishes the battle in half an hour…

For some unknown reason, Rhode felt humiliated at this thought.

"Ugh…"

But shortly after, the pleasurable sensation from his lower body disrupted his thoughts. He lowered his head and witnessed the petite young lady closing her eyes and doing her best to 'serve' the man in front of her. She exhaled warm breaths through her light pink, tender lips. Her innocent, beautiful, and delicate face seemed to be in pain from being a little forceful. But even so, she bobbed her head and an inexplicable feeling of pleasure spread from the waist up, eroding Rhode's sanity.

I have to say, this feels truly…

Looking at Lesa, Rhode felt his desires burning. The petite young lady's devoted look aroused him completely. Even he had to admit that even though Lesa's technique was unpractised, the feeling she gave him was unprecedented.

Although Rhode had done it with several women, all of them gave him unique sensations. Of course, all of them liked him a lot. But the difference in status and closeness made them express themselves differently. Rhode and his younger sister were interconnected and got along really well as equals. On the other hand, Canary, Mini Bubble Gum, Lize, and the rest treated him like more as a reliable person. As for Sonia and Nell, they were more like his subjects in submission. Meanwhile, those like Angelina were just… for the desire to connect.

But no matter who they were, they didn't 'devote' themselves to him like Lesa. Even a masochist like Sonia also craved for pleasure while serving him. Rhode understood this, which was why he always did his best to satisfy his partner. Of course, fortunately for his unique constitution, perhaps he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences of failure after taking on just Anne alone…

However, the relationship between Lesa and Rhode was different from the rest. As a psychic of the Astral Temple, she was a servant of God and played the role of a mediator between God and men. Rhode, as the Void Dragon, was essentially the God Lesa had to serve. That was why she gave her best and devoted herself to him. No matter the treatment she received, be it pain, happiness, humiliation, or abuse, she would accept them without complaints. This felt entirely fresh to Rhode. Even though he was dissolute in the original world, he was just an ordinary man, after all, and it was impossible for any woman to serve him as a God. After transmigrating to this world, although the young ladies were attracted to him due to several reasons, none of them became his fanatical believer. However, Sonia was infinitely closer to that stage. But since she ended up this way because Rhode 'groomed' her, he wasn't particularly mindful about her.

Lesa was entirely different. One could imagine an adorable and innocent young lady kneeling before one, allowing one to manhandle her, and she wouldn't grumble no matter what. Just this scene alone was enough to ignite the dark desires of all men. In addition to her identity as a sacred psychic, this sense of treachery was full to the point of overflowing.

"Argh…!"

At that moment, Rhode thrust his hip forward strongly, and Lesa seized the chance to bury her head deeper, doing her best to swallow the warm, white, and cloudy liquid that gushed into her throat. After a few moments, she lifted her head, and unsure if it was too intense, she seemed a little dazed. But even so, she stood up, extended her arms, and lifted her robe slowly.

"Master, please enjoy my body."

"Pfff…!"

After taking a closer look at her actions, Rhode almost spit out a mouthful of blood. It wasn't for any other reason. It was just that this scene before him was so intense and thrilling.

What came into sight was naturally Lesa's slender, long legs that were wrapped in black garter belt stockings, radiating a youthful charm. But that wasn't what shook Rhode. Instead, it was the fact that she didn't wear anything between her legs! Not only that, but under the magical brilliance, Rhode also witnessed glistening water trickling down her fair, plump inner thighs.

Under the heavy robe was the young lady's petite figure. And she was entirely naked!

"Do you always dress up this way?"

Rhode asked in disbelief because all this while, Lesa always wore a long, heavy white robe that dragged behind her. That was why Rhode subconsciously believed that she was an honest and conservative person. He didn't expect this pure, sacred psychic to be so extreme! Not even Rhode could resist the temptation of this strong contrast.

"Yes, Master."

Facing his question, Lesa's expression remained unchanged as though it were a matter of course.

"This is the most convenient way to dress up in order to serve you at all times, Master. May I know if this causes your displeasure?"

"No… I think… this isn't too bad."

After hearing her innocent question, the corners of Rhode's mouth perked up into an odd smile. Perhaps this was a matter of course to Lesa, but the problem was would any man who heard something similar be able to say no?

"Come here, Lesa. You know what to do."

"Yes, Master."

Upon hearing his order, Lesa stood to her feet and sat on his body. Her expression seemed focused, so much like she was engaging in a certain holy ritual—or perhaps to Lesa, this was indeed a ritual. Rhode didn't speak any further. He didn't have much time to waste. He extended his arms and embraced the warm, petite figure.

"Argh———!!"

The immense pain from her lower body was unbearable. Even though she was mentally prepared for it, the physical response wasn't as easy to resist. The young lady couldn't help but pucker her brows and let out a moan. But even so, her petite body had no intention of pulling away. She extended her slender arms and wrapped around the man's neck as he continued to thrust his hips forward like continuous waves.

"Ah… Ah… Mmm…"

Shortly after, the young lady's melodious, soothing moans resounded in the parlor. Rhode hugged her tightly, closed his eyes, and indulged in her gentle aroma. The sweet, mint-like fragrance from her assailed his nostrils and he felt as though their bodies had fused as one. At that moment, Lesa reacted gently, her blue, short hair flowing in the air. Her clear azure eyes lost focus as she stared blankly into the void. A pink blush emerged over her fair skin and not only that, but her expression was also confused and dazed as though she didn't know what she was going through and why she reacted this way. Her reaction was naive and innocent, but deadly seductive.

"How does it feel, Lesa?"

"Feels… really strange… Master…"

Facing Rhode's question, Lesa shook her head and slurred as though she didn't know what he meant. But even though her senses couldn't comprehend it, her body reacted instinctively on its own. She wrapped her snowy arms on Rhode's neck. Her slender legs wrapped in black garter belt stockings clamped onto his waist. At that moment, she let out a louder moan.

"M-Master… No… Not there… Lesa is about to… Ahh… Ahh… disappear… Lesa is about to disappear… No… Ah… Ahhh!"

As the young lady panted, her body tensed up instantly. Her words became erratic as though they were stifled in her throat. Shortly after, she closed her eyes and collapsed weakly into Rhode's embrace.

"Phew…"

At that moment, Rhode heaved a long sigh of relief.

He looked into Lesa's beautiful, azure eyes that were staring back at him.

"Master… The ritual hasn't ended yet…"
