RISE OF EROS

For their part, the harpies landed in a hidden valley, surrounded by cliffs that offered natural protection from any intruders. The hooded men moved quickly, unloading their loads and tending to the wounded.

The Master monitored every move, making sure everything was in order. "Any problems during the retreat?" he asked one of his lieutenants who replied, "None, Master. The ice elves will follow the trail into the hills, as planned. Even if they suspect our intentions, they will waste days trying to locate something that is not there."

The Master nodded, satisfied. His confidence in the plan was solid, but he had learned not to underestimate his enemies. "And the insignia?" he asked suddenly, turning to the group and asking, "Does everyone have them?" Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

A murmur of agreement ran through the hooded men, but the young man who had lost his remained silent. His face paled as he recalled the moment he had fastened his belt before the retreat.

"What is it?" the Master asked, his tone turning cold. "I… I think I've lost mine, Master," the young man admitted, lowering his head. The silence that followed was oppressive. The Master took a step towards him, his figure imposing under the dark cloak.

"Where?" he asked, his voice low but laden with menace. "I don't know for sure, Master. It was during the battle or the retreat. Perhaps it fell on the field," the young man replied.

The Master closed his eyes, taking a deep breath to contain his anger. "Do you realize what you've done?" he finally asked. "That badge could reveal who we are and what we seek. If it falls into the hands of the ice elves, they could trace it back to us."

The young man tried to apologize, but the Master held up a hand, silencing him. "There is no time for regrets. Double the guard on the perimeters and prepare a new escape route. If the elves find something, they must not come here."

The so-called master of this group had no idea that another person in his group had lost said insignia when they were in the hills of Eternal Snow, as he was not brave enough to admit it as the young man did.

Unfortunately, by the time the ice elves discovered who these insignia belonged to, the hooded men had already retreated from their territory and could do nothing.

The waters were beginning to get muddy. The leaders of the Purgatory organization had sent their men to different countries to cause chaos. They were only to attack different races and create confusion.

They would take advantage of that to search for the remnants of the fallen god, avoiding the watchful eyes of the Dragons and the group of arcanists who kept close watch on strange incidents.

Meanwhile, Andrew, ignorant of all these schemes, got up from his large bed, surrounded by all his naked wives, revealing the passionate night they had lived.@@novelbin@@

Without waking them up, he got up, went to the bathroom, and took a shower to clean off the dirt he hadn't cleaned the night before. After changing his clothes, he left the room and had his breakfast.

His sexual stamina had increased and using his other skills like divine massage he beat his wives, so they wouldn't be getting up for the time being, so he decided to start his operations without waiting for them to get up.

Andrew decided to visit Seraphine in the demon realm. It hadn't been long since he was there, but he had noticed a new resident there, who wasn't a succubus, so he wanted to know who she was.

As always, Oliver accompanied him. In the demon realm, it was just after noon when he arrived, so he wasn't worried that he had traveled so early, as the time zones were different.

Andrew and Oliver appeared in the office, where only Seraphine was. Andrew waited until she was alone to teleport away, as he didn't want to show this to the other succubi, especially since he wasn't convinced that they were all clean yet.

Seraphine wasn't surprised by the appearance of Andrew and Oliver, as she knew this ability. In fact, she was glad to see him, as she wanted to tell him about Ayla. After the polite greetings, Andrew didn't waste any time and asked, "Who's the new girl?"

Again, Seraphine wasn't surprised. As Andrew's apostle, she knew that there were no hidden spots in this place since he turned it into a temple or Heavenly Palace. Seraphine was, in fact, counting on this ability to get Andrew to come to visit her when he noticed the harpy, as there was still no method to communicate with Andrew.

They could send messenger falcons, but with the current situation in the Demon Realm, it was certain that the bird would not get far and even if it managed to escape the interception of the Demons, it would take a long time to reach Cannes.

Seraphine told him in detail what she knew about Ayla. How her younger sisters found her in the forest, her condition, and what she had told them about a group of hooded men who attacked them.

The story seemed surprising to Andrew, but it was not something that interested him, since he had no dealings with the harpies and at the moment he did not know that the attackers were his enemies.

For this reason, Andrew asked Seraphine the reason why she gave so much importance to the harpy and then Seraphine explained the resonance that she had had with her when she was close.

This did interest Andrew. Fluffy had already assured him that only succubi received Eros' blessing, so the fact that Seraphine felt a connection to Ayla was strange.

Andrew asked Fluffy if she knew what it could be and after some thought Fluffy replied, "I don't know very well about the blessings given, but if Eros gave one to succubi, it wouldn't be strange for other gods to do the same to other races."

"What other god's blessing could it be?" Andrew asked curiously, to which Fluffy replied, "Since harpies have a heat or horniness period, it could be about fertility or even love, but I'm just guessing."

Fluffy paused briefly and added, "Also, it could be something similar to Oliver's eye blessing, only on a racial or more problematic level, it could be a curse."

"Curse?" Andrew asked and Fluffy replied, "Yes. Gods can grant blessings or curses. The state of harpies where they go into heat or ardor seems more suitable for a curse than a blessing."

Although the topic had become dark, Andrew was intrigued by this curse thing and quickly asked a few questions, which Fluffy answered calmly. After hearing everything that Fluffy knew about curses, he looked at Seraphine and said, "Take me to her, I would like to see her," and only with Seraphine assisting began to lead the way.
