BXBX NOVEL Chapter 239 - The Paladin
I jumped into the sky before shooting off in the direction of the city. The only reason no one realized I was going in the direction was because of the fact that I had chosen to quickly equip my cloak before camouflaging it into a bra and equipping it around my breasts.
Even though like this, it did not work very well for assassination or stealth since nothing was covering me, it worked well to hide my mana signature, the natural divine aura that pressured everyone around me and also hid my soul energy so no one other than those above the cosmic realm, whatever that meant, could see it.
Since I had launched off before Rose could have even put another word in, she gritted her teeth and shot towards me, her fists itching to beat something.

On the middle of a plain grassy field stood a short man with glistening bronze skin and a muscular physique stood as he looked towards an enormous mansion.
The man held a huge ax in his right hand that went over his shoulder for support. However, at the same time, he held a longsword within the scabbard hanging on his hip, yet for an odd unexplainable reason, it did not look like a sword that would have been used for battles, and instead, a gloomy lust-filled aura revolved around it.
"It is nice to see you again, Kaif..." Another man that was standing in front of the mansion while leaning his back onto the mansion doors smirked as he crossed his arms.
"I have come to you for an urgent reason" Kaif frowned at the blonde-haired youthful-looking man.
"Really man? You never come and visit me for reasons other than work! What happened to our bromanceship? We were bros man!" The blonde man sulked as if he had recalled their previous relationship and how it had gone down the drain.
"We can talk about that later" Kaif spoke again, this time a lot more emotionless than his previous self.
"You can\'t discard our relationship just like that man!" The blond-haired man sulked even further.
Kaif simply looked at his face, discarding it as moderately handsome even though hundreds of thousands of women in the empire would bash his head if he were to say it out loud.
"Babe, are you going to back inside for a little more fun?~" An extremely underdressed woman that left almost nothing to the imagination walked out of the left side of the double doors while simultaneously cat walking in a way that would make her ass more visible to the blond-haired man. At the same time, she grabbed the top of her skirt while pulling it down a bit to allow him to have a peak, but that was it.
She then looked at him with both a lustful and seductive smile that might have even outdone a succubus, yet the man chose to close his eyes at the woman locking her lips. The man then spoke again "After I am done with my friend here. Please go back inside, then we can have some fun" He opened his eyes and looked at her with a seductive smile.
"To think you are supposed to be some kind of holy paladin. All I see is someone that had unlocked the sin of lust" Kaif snorted
"Hahaha" The Paladin laughed before slapping the butt of the woman who was walking in with a pouted expression. However, when she felt his dominant hands slap her behind, she immediately let out a pleasured "Eek~" before looking at him one more time, licking her lips, and walking inside.
"Kaif, make this quick. I have several \'companions\'-" The paladin winked "- of mine waiting to become one with me" A smirk stretched across his face before giving another wink.
"We have reason to believe the witch of agony is back..." Kaif frowned at the last part even though he had thought he had already built enough resolve to say those words to the Paladin, the one who had lost the most to the clutches of the witch.
The blonde man frowned, yet he made sure to keep a clear mind, allowing him to think clearly while also being able to ask the right questions instead of exploding out in anger.
"What evidence do you have?" The Paladin narrowed his eyes, his smirk from earlier almost nonexistent.
We found a blood sphere more than 150 meters in diameter with several blood chains wrapped around it to make sure whatever was inside would not get out." Kaif crossed his arms as well, yet he did not dare look into the eyes of the Paladin and instead, looked at the ground emotionlessly.
"Are you positive it is her?" The paladin straightened his posture and looked at kaif as if he was looking into the deepest depths of a bottomless pit.
"We are not 100% certain so I wanted to take you along to look at her seal. If she isn\'t there, it means we have a new yet a lot more solvable problem on the horizon. If it is her though, it means that she had escaped and is stronger than ever"
The paladin only nodded at this, making kaif raise a brow.
"You don\'t seem surprised..."
"Well, I heard about the blood sphere a couple of days ago and didn\'t think much of it because it could have technically been anyone. An example of someone who could probably do that is the current head of the crimson family looking at how adept he is in blood magic. A much worse scenario would have been the awakening of the original crimson ancestor, but that one seems too unlikely. Anyway, let\'s go and see if that damn witch had escaped." A little more enthusiasm could be seen in the paladin\'s face.
"And if she has escaped?" Kaif asked with weariness.
"Well, then we would have to inform the Raven family as well as all the other families of her arrival. I am sure the heads of the families would not be too pleased, but what can we do, right?" The paladin laughed out loud
\'What have I gotten myself into\' Kaif sighed before turning around and shouting "I\'ll meet you in your hut!"
After nodding at each other, they both walked in their separate directions, yet both of them had the same goal.
Kaif was going to go to the hut and make love with his \'Precious\' while the paladin would be going back to enjoy his night with all the women that were just waiting to be ravished by him.
