'That is a whole new level of wrong!' He furrowed his brows and shook his head, unable to get the sight before him out of his thoughts.
Yoru yelped at the assault and had her hair wildly flying around her. Some of her hair snaked over her breasts obscuring his vision from seeing Yoru's completely naked torso.
'That goddamned hair!' Hisha spat in disdain.
[Even if you feel some form of hatred towards her, that is some level of indescribable hurt, isn't it?]
Yoru let out a peal of crazed laughter as her perky E cup breast jiggled with every disturbing outburst.
Once she was done, she called out on Solara who had been hiding and going along with the plan they had made.
Looking above her in the branches, she gave a mocking bow to Solara. "Surely you didn't think I wouldn't know that little prank wasn't from you."
Solara looked down at Yoru with a demeaning gaze, not bothering to say a word since she had been able to guess who had caused her pain.
Jumping off the tree, Solara's eyes still kept their glow as she tagged Yoru as a threat and prepared for her attack.
"We do not need to fight, aren't you sick and tired of being treated like a lifeless property encased as a harem?" Yoru suggested with a beaming smile.
'What sort of crap is spewing from her lips?!' Hisha raised a brow and folded his arms at her demeaning words against him.
[What difference in the sort of crap would it make?]
"..."
Hisha's face darkened at the choice of words his system used in answering, temporarily wondering if HTC took his side very often.
In her weakened state, Yoru had hoped to buy herself some time and use the opportunity to instigate them against Hisha. If she could turn their hearts away from being loyal to him, she would be one step closer to finding out his weakness and end him for what the immortals had done to her people.
'Watch as your precious ladies leave you for something worth taking.'
Solara eased her muscles and looked as though she was considering the offer with a great level of thought.
"Once he's gone you all would be free from his mark and get to leave a normal life without prejudice." Yoru continued with a smirk, putting back her armless dress on her bust with its strings.
Solara raised two fingers–index and middle finger in the air, actively gesturing to Alta on her true intentions.
Distorting the information, she explained to Yoru that it was her way of accepting her proposal.
Yoru grinned unbeknownst to being completely fooled and manipulated.
"It is rumored that it's only his harem that could deal damage to him." Yoru looked over to Hisha.
'Is this true?' Hisha quickly asked HTC for confirmation.
[Not entirely right. Only the strongest member of your harem can do a bit of damage to you, only when you share your prized possession could your immortality be threatened]
'Prized possession, what's that?'
[Until you've regained 70% of the original host's memory, that information is outside your jurisdiction]
HTC's voice temporarily went cold and heavily monotonous.
'Ouch!'
The mystery behind what HTC had just related was unsettling, but also enough boost for him to work towards that angle once they were all out of the forest.
Solara followed Yoru's line of sight and temporarily had it on Hisha.
Confident all of this was a ruse, Hisha shrugged and eagerly waited for the 5 feet tall barrier to disintegrate faster, he could only blame the trio for speeding up the process with the weird method of chanting and glowing outline.
Alta stood guard, putting up a show for the three who watched Solara fool them with no hint of backing down.
"You would dare go against our supreme overlord?!" Alta spat in disdain, ready to attack the four if they took another step forward.
'Hurry up with your stupid plan!' Alta pleaded with a distraught sigh.
'Stop being overdramatic!' Solara countered as though they could hear each other's thoughts.
"Join us, I have under my control those who could satisfy you in every way possible." Yoru had her hand outstretched towards Alta, hoping this condition would appeal to a succubus.
[Is she trying to cuckold you? Blasphemy!]
Hisha's frown only worsened at Yoru's words, 'just wait till I'm out of here, you'll see!'
"I'd rather consider their souls being run over by me than have those flaccid things in me." Alta gave a backlash with the flick of her hair taunting the two males on both sides of Yoru.
Solara could see bulging veins pop on the clench of the hooded males' fists. 'This is going to be so easy!'
Charging at Alta to prove she was on the opposing team, she turned at the last minute and shot out a barrage of flames at the trio.
Using their capes as means to gather enough wind, they channel it with a great torrent to deflect and quench the flames.
Alta caught on to Solara before she could fall backward.
Seeing remnants of her deflected flames, Solara cut off her source which in turn dispelled the flames.
"You tricked us, you despicable flammable creature!" Yoru screamed in rage.
Finally calming himself, he let out a sigh and watched as the final part of the burnt markings disintegrate.
Activating his geokinetic ability, he scattered the ring-like markings into dust particles and pushed its dreadful remnants away from himself.
'Finally done with that crap!' He hissed and clicked his tongue, raising his head with brimming fury on what he could do to Yoru to cut her connection to Kritz.

A/N
I am a bit disheartened that even with the number of views, votes, GTS, and gifts, I still get very little activity in the commenting and reviewing section.
It would be a boost to my morale if you could just register your presence somehow either through paragraph comments or comments.
As a token of appreciation for this, I would dedicate the subsequent chapters to only the first 10 readers that are active for more than a week on different parts of my chapters.
