Chapter 30: Should I Try For More?
Lady Yvette placed a hand on her hip and turned around to eye her husband. Her movement caused a trembling of her large breasts in her silk robe but of course, Larnak was much too busy to notice.
"And you think here is where you will find him?" she asked in a tone that very well depicted how much she thought that was silly.
"I'm leaving no stone unturned- No area unsearched. That Stygian bastard won't get away from me," Herbert said before placing an index finger on his temple.
"Stygian?" Yvette's brows went even higher at the sound of the very familiar name.
"Shush, My Lady- I must concentrate!" Herbert said as he spread out his spiritual senses.
Yvette rolled her eyes at him.
'Imagine searching a room and shushing the one who has been staying there for over an hour. Idiot.'
The spiritual search lasted all of a minute and then Larnak sighed.
"Oh, it's no use. He's not hiding here," he said disappointed while the Guard Captains trooped in to perform physical searches.
"Would you have preferred he was here, lurking? Watching your wife... bath?" Yvette asked in response to her husband's disappointment.
Herbert turned around.
"What? Of course not. But it would be better if he was here rather than gone," he said and then bit his tongue in the realization of his wrong choice of words,
"Sorry, my dear, but that Grey haired bastard shouldn't get to escape!" Herbert said.
'Ah, so it IS him,' Yvette thought.
Evian had helped her ride the wave of expending her pent-up energy. Many climaxes had followed the first and while she would never admit it, she was starting to enjoy it.
Masturbating always felt good enough but there is another level of thrill that comes with the hands of another and Evian's hands were skilled.
Against her better judgment, the more orgasms his fingers brought her, the harder she was finding it to separate her pleasure from being just due to an urgent need for release and being completely brought about by the Stranger partner that was Evian Stygian.
Once the knocks sounded, Evian decided it was time to leave. In the second Yvette allowed her eyes and ears to focus on the door with the knocks and the callout of her name by her husband, Evian pulled his fingers out of her soppy center and inexplicably vanished underwater.
'I'm not telling!' Yvette decided with determination as she watched the physical search end fruitlessly to the disappointment of her Husband and the Estate Guard Captains.
Yvette had no desire to protect Evian, not after he intruded on her privacy but she also had no interest in opening up the can of worms that were the questions sure to arise should she mention that he had been present with her in that bath.
•••
When Evian canceled the Phasing spell for the second time that day, he surfaced outside the Larnak Estate ground.
"Ah ha, perfect!" he said but it wasn't perfect. Not with the many guards patrolling the streets and of course, it did not take long at all for him to be spotted by a squad of them.
His hair and clothes might have been wet from his dunk in Yvette's bath but he was still very recognizable. At least by the description the Guards had all been given. His grey hair with his young face was an instant giveaway.
"There he is!"
"Get him!"
The squad was made up of a hierarchy;
The foot soldiers- The six Second Order Guards and,
The Elite Leaders- The Third Order Guard duo.
Evian smiled at the oncoming squad.
"Alright then, come on! More souls for me."
Evian let out his wave of Eldritch energy and stopped all six Second Order Guards of the Squad in their place while their Elite leaders continued with their weapons raised.
As they charged at him, they opened their mouths and yelled out an alarm to alert any close by squads but Evian did not pay that any heed. He planned to be done and gone by the time any reinforcements arrived.
*Clang*
He met the first weapon with a swing of his sword and in a duel of strength, his opponent quickly pushed back against him trying to get his body close enough for a melee. Evian had a similar idea... He just implemented it faster.
*Bam!*
A direct blow stung the Guard's cheek and forced his face to the side. The force behind the Guard's weapon lessened and Evian used the opportunity to gain an upper hand in the physical duel and contest of weapons.
From the pressure the Third Order Guards gave off, their steps within the Order were much easier to pinpoint. They were both three steps into the Order which at first made them seem very much ahead of Evian but that gap is closed down by Evian only having seven stages within his Decadent Level as opposed to the Nine steps within each Order of Knighthood.
Evian's decadent smstages were; Cursed, Corrupted, Denounced, Fallen, Condemned, Abhorrent, and Unholy.
Just the Cursed stage was well past the First step of Knighthood.
Anyway, as he was pushing back against his opponent, the second Third Order guard took a wild swing with his sword to Evian's back.
Their orders were to incapacitate the grey-haired culprit but they had not been told to do so without force. In fact, they were practically ordered to stop him by any means necessary. Physical harm included.
"Ah ha, we got you now!" the Guard said in jubilation just as his sword hearts Evian's back.
Alas, despite their Orders and the description they had been given, no one warned them of what had caused the deaths of colleagues in the Estate.
Evian used his Phasing spell on the top half of his body.
The Guard he was having a physical duel with was already locked into a momentum and that momentum carried on as his sword clashed with that of his colleague who tried to strike Evian from behind.
*Clang!*
Blades clashed.
A mixture of shock, surprise, and aimless momentum resulted in one Guard losing his weapon and getting a reckless gash cut across his chest.
Evian moved away and stopped being the intangible link between the two and once he became tangible again, he swung and sliced the injured Guard's neck lest he be robbed of the kill and the soul.
The surviving Third Order Guard's mouth fell open in shock.
It all happened so fast and he was still confused.
While he was in that state, Evian ate the soul of his colleague and set his sights on him.
"What the hell are you?" the Guard asked obviously in reference to Evian's intangibility.
Evian grinned.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" he teased before he charged forward in attack.
The Guard was ready and swung at him.
Evian gave him a cheeky smile, turned intangible, and watched his opponent's face get clouded with confusion as his sword cut through nothing...
Once his sword was cleanly through Evian's intangible top half, the Third Order Guard was still locked in a swinging motion and Evian took advantage by slicing through his sword arm.
"ARR- Ack!"
The Guard started to yell but was promptly shut up by Evian's blade stabbing through his mouth and out the back of his neck.
The Guard's arms flopped and his body still twitched with life but Evian ended that quickly with a definitive cut that freed his Soul to be consumed.
All six Second Order Guards watched in horror as their Elites were killed. They remained frozen by Evian's Eldritch wave and Evian quickly picked them off one by one. Like flies stuck to a spider's web.
Necks were slashed...
Hearts were stabbed...
And Souls were eaten...
As he savored the taste, Evian called to his Assistant.
'Hey, Status Update.'
