Rise of the Eromancer

Chapter 239 Connection

On a casual day on Typhon's Island, Dominique was just minding her own business. And by business, she was getting busy with her girlfriend, who's also a part of her gang.

Well, perhaps it wasn't that good of an idea to be having fun in the very hall where the Hole is, but this was really the only prison hall where the others actively avoided even passing by — it was the perfect spot.

That is, until, a wild cenleon suddenly popped out from the Hole, and Dominique caught a glimpse of it in the corner of her eyes. Unfortunately for Dominique, her girlfriend was currently going down on her… and she was right about to climax when another cenleon popped up.

"Stop… stop!" Dominique screamed, but as she did so, her girlfriend's tongue just suddenly became even more violent even though she was already extremely sensitive from just coming.

It did not just end with one, more and more came… along with her. Her body trembled each time another cenleon popped out from the Hole.

And very soon, she could no longer help herself as she laughed at the exaggeratingly funny situation she found herself in. And as she did so, her girlfriend finally realized something was wrong and also glanced back, only for her to almost jump up in place and immediately grab her clothes to cover herself.

She also threw Dominique's panties at her, seemingly angry that Dominique did not tell her anything.

"Oh my god, oh my god," Dominique's girlfriend hurriedly got dressed. If there was any consolation in their current situation, it was that all of the cenleons were completely knocked out — well, all except for one.

Edissa, although groggy and clearly nauseated, managed to land on her four legs; her ears, immediately waving as she heard the presence of someone else inside the prison hall. She then quickly turned to look at Dominique and her girlfriend, only to see them half naked; both of their mouths, clearly wet.

Dominique just waved at her. Her girlfriend, however, did not seem as amused as she quickly ran away while screaming. Edissa did not seem to bother with them, however, as she just quickly started pulling all the unconscious cenleons out of the cell so that they wouldn't be jammed inside.

"You chose a hell of a time to return," Dominique then let out a small but very deep sigh as she got dressed while approaching Edissa. But of course, the two did not really understand each other, and Edissa just nodded in response.

"Can you help me get the others out?" Edissa said. And surprisingly enough, even though Dominique had no idea what she was saying, Dominique just started helping her and pulling the others out. Just in time, as more and more cenleons emerged from the Hole — like a monster storm, except all of them were unconscious.

And finally, after what seemed like the 30th cenleon, Rhys appeared.

"...You left with more or less a dozen man lions, and then you returned with 3 times that number?" Dominique could really only let out a sigh as she welcomed Rhys back, "I really can't figure out that brain of yours, Boss."

"They're here to sightsee," Rhys looked at all the unconscious cenleons who were lined up on the floor, "...As soon as they wake up. Also, keep an eye on that one — the others don't eat humans."

"They look more civilized than Edissa's group, no offense," Dominique glanced at Edissa, who did not respond at all, "So, how is it? Are these the more cultured man lions?"

"They are," Rhys nodded, "You would be surprised with the level of their technology — I think… it would be around the 19th century?"

"Seriously…?" Dominique blinked a couple of times in shock, "I thought they would be living in huts and caves and some shit. You're saying they have like buildings and houses?"

"Yes, they even have a castle."

"Damn it, I should have come with you," Dominique groaned, "I could have used the vacation. You smell like blood, though."

"...I did have to kill a few," Rhys then also let out a sigh as he once again looked at the cenleons lined up on the floor, "They probably wouldn't wake up in an hour or two, but just to be safe. Edissa, can I leave you to guard them for a bit?"

"Of course," Edissa bowed her head, "The only thing I really have to worry about is Prince Abu. How do you want me to deal with him if he becomes violent?"

"You already know how the telephone works, right?"

"...Yes."

"Just call as soon as he wakes up. Or you can bring him outside to see the sky, that disarmed you the first time you see it. I'm sure he'll have the same reaction."

"Hm…" Edissa nodded several times, "...Even now, it almost feels like I am going to fall up and drown. Okay, leave this to me, Rhys."

Edissa's ears and tail then stood up on their ends as she squinted her eyes while scanning the unconscious cenleons, truly serious with the job assigned to her.

"So, did anything happen while I was away?" Rhys then gestured to Dominique to walk with him.

"Nothing that grand," Dominique shrugged as she followed beside Rhys and left the hall, "And you were right, though — one of your… women visited the prison. Maria or something, a hot scary looking lady."

"Oh? Did she say anything?"

"Well… she and Talia got in a bit of an argument, but they settled it," Dominique sighed, "Maria thought she did something to you since you were missing, but when she found out that you dove down into the Underworld, she just quickly calmed down and started talking without any emotions again, she's weird. You could honestly just ask her yourself."

"Ask her—Maria's still here?" Rhys almost stopped walking as he looked at Dominique.

"Yeah. She never left and just started checking the Warden's logs. Apparently, Talia didn't delete all of it and Mcconnell still had a secret system stashed somewhere," Dominique shook her head, "Seriously, you didn't tell me you have your own like secret agent as part of your harem."

"I don't have a harem," Rhys sighed.

"Bro, you have like 7 women," Dominique hit Rhys on the arm, "You even managed to rizz up that hot grandma—wait… Is your name Rhys because you have rizz? Wait, is your name really even Rhys or did you just name yourself that!?"

"...That's my name," Rhys just leaned away from Dominique as she continued to hit his arm while hyping herself up, "And what else happened while I was gone?"

"Well… follow me," Dominique then finally left his arm alone as she proceeded to walk in front of him in a hasty manner. Rhys was slightly hesitating to follow her since she had a wide grin on her face, but there really was nothing else to do but do so,

"Don't be so shocked, Boss."

"What is it?" Rhys lowered his eyebrows as Dominique led her in the direction of the airstrip, "This would really work better if you just tell—"

"That's him!"

And as soon as Rhys stepped out of the prison building, he was suddenly welcomed by several flashes of light; a crowd of people, quickly rushing toward him with cameras and mics on their hands.

"Rhys Wilder!? Is it true you are here on a secret mission!?"

"I heard they were willing to shorten your sentence in exchange for what you did, is that true!?"

"Were the prisoners that you killed really terrorists who were planning to escape the prison!?"

"What is—"

Rhys then took a step back and immediately closed the door on all the reporters and journalists before very slowly looking at Dominique, who was just smirking mischievously at him.

"You really should have told me about them," Rhys sighed.

"Pft… I just wanted to see you flustered once in my life," Dominique's mischievous smile turned into a fit of laughter as she started slapping her thighs, "You… you should have seen your face! You—"

And before Dominique could finish her words, Rhys then casually messed up his growing hair before styling it; the look on his face, completely different from just seconds ago.

"What the…" Dominique raised an eyebrow as Rhys's demeanor instantly changed. He did not even say anything before just once again opening the door; he was not smiling, but the expression on his face was quite welcoming—no, it was too welcoming, "...You two-faced bastard."

"Everyone," Rhys then raised his palm at the reporters, causing all of them to cease their questions, "Right now, I am tired since I just came back from the Underworld — so I would really only answer one question."

"The Underworld!? Is it true that you were able to talk to one of the natives of the Underworld? A half-breed?"

"They are not half-breeds, but yes."

"!!!" Everyone started looking at each other as they heard Rhys's confirmation. They were going to ask more, but Rhys once again raised his palm.

"And right now…" Rhys then looked at the camera closest to him, "...their prince is inside resting."

"Prince…!?"

"Yes," Rhys let out a very small smile, "The people of the Underworld…

…they wish to connect with us."
