Debauchery of a Soul-Eating Wraith

151  A Longtime Trusty Tool {**}

Once Karenssa was dead, the ensnaring spell cast on Baron Angus finally lost effect and he froze up while in a position to readily bring down his Axe in a fit of enchanted rage.

"What-" he mumbled, confused, "What is this? What am I doing?"

Angus remembered everything he had done while under his wife's spell, he even 'understood' his anger toward Evian in regards to Karenssa's accusations but he wondered why he had so quickly and easily lost all rationality. His eyes scanned the hall, first moving over the faces of the members of the squad who all had some level of bruises on their bodies inflicted by him, and then, his eyes fell on Karenssa's body sprawled in front of his high-backed chair and he croaked,

"What just happened?"

•••

Whether or not Angus had been under a spell, the way his might had made them all feel had a long-term effect on the Crew and they had no intentions of standing by and discussing it or saying anything to the Baron at all so Zayda stepped in.

"Baron, Obviously, there is quite a bit to discuss but I -we- can not discuss any of it now. At least not before my Squad goes away and gets treated for the injuries they have incurred battling you.

In the morning, we shall brief you thoroughly on all that you need to know.

Good night."

Zayda spoke politely and she directed the Squad to find their way back to their feet and file out of the conference hall. "Wait," Evian said and walked forward to glare at Karenssa's corpse before he gripped the shaft of his Spear and pulled it out of her head before sending it into his Spatial ring.

Zayda provided everyone with healing potions but when she reached Evian, she frowned,

"You will need a lot of rest even after taking this," she said. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Okay, thank you," Evian said simply with a smile as he pulled away from the Crew and left for his room. Carleine and Ember followed him without even the barest of a thought.

As they watched them leave, Gillert and Gryon shared looks. Ember following Evian they understood but Carleine joining in was certainly surprising.

Once in his room with the doors closed, Evian handed the potion in his hand to both Carleine and Ember to use in case the ones they had already received were not enough.

"What about you?" Carleine asked.

"I'll be fine."

Evian took off the pants he had on, specked with blood, dust, and the sweat of combat, and walked away into the bath attached to his room. Of course, hardly caring who should hold the potion Evian had gifted them, Ember and Carleine followed him to the bath.

'Assistant?' Evian called out mentally while standing at the edge of the Bath and deciding not to get in with his wounds still open and bleeding,

'Status.'

[Name: Evian Stygian.]

[Race: Wraith]

[Decadence: Cursed Wraith Noble {20,187/5000 Soul points}]

[You currently have 5000 units of Tainted Semi-Eldritch Essence]

'Convert.'

[Converting...]

[You currently have 0 units of Tainted Semi-Eldritch Essence]

[At 10 Tainted Semi-Eldritch Essence to 1 Soul Point, you now have 500 Soul Points to be added to your previous balance of 20,187 Soul Points...]

[Update; Decadence: Cursed Wraith Noble {20,687/5000 Soul Points}]

'And the Decadent Store?'

[Completed Upgrade]

'Open it!' Evian said with a growing impatience. The longer he bled, the weaker he felt which should be expected of anyone except his metabolism was screwed up by him being a Wraith and there was no chance of him getting even remotely better unless he used a Health Pack.

The rectangular holographic screen appeared in front of Evian's face, he ignored all other tabs and clicked on the Manuscript tab. Slightly desperate as he was, he knew he stood to gain more by having the ability to make his own Health Packs at a massive discount from the store considering he was expecting more cases of injury in the future.

[Manuscripts; Knowledge to make you the best Wraith Noble you can be.

-Light Injury Health Pack(Tis but a scratch) Manuscript: 5000 Soul Points.

-Heavy Injury Health Pack (Oh look, it's bleeding) Manuscript: 10,000 Soul points.

-Fatal Injury Health pack (Give me something for the pain, let me die) Manuscript: 15,000 Soul points.

...]

Of the three options, Evian clicked the second. The many lacerations all over his body were certainly not 'light' and no matter how macho he desired to be, he could not possibly brush it off as 'just a scratch'.

[You have spent 10,000 Soul Points on the Heavy Injury Health Pack (Oh look, It's bleeding) Manyscript]

[Blanace: 10,687 Soul Points]

The information or the manuscript flowed into Evian's mind and at the reduced cost of 1000 Soul Points, he healed every one of the wounds he had on his body and instantaneously, every bit of fatigue he was feeling melted away as his body returned to its best condition, making it possible for Evian to appreciate his Decadent increase.

[Balance: 9,687 Soul Points]

He waded into the water, barely noticing the ladies that were in the water with him because all of his attention was on the Holographic screen of the Decadent Store still in front of him.

He clicked the [Spells] tab and at the very top, he found the reason he even came in there.

[Wraithic Phasing (Upgrade);

Use your Eldritch energy to make yourself intangible to physical and mystical barriers.

Currently at the level of a Wraith.

Would you like to spend 5000 Soul Points to upgrade it to the level of a Wraith Noble?]

Wrathic Phasing, ever since he got it, had been Evian's most trusty tool. It guaranteed that he was literally untouchable to someone on the same level as him.

Currently, he could Phase and avoid the attack of someone at the Third Order/Circle but even though he was now at the level of a Fourth Order/Circle, he could not do the same to attacks of that level without an upgrade. 'No thinking required. Upgrade it!'

[Upgrading Wraithic Phasing...]

[Upgraded!]

Evian felt as new information swarm into his head. Although not usually appearing to be the case, Wraithic Phasing was a spell and had every characteristic of one, including a Spell Circle that appeared in Evian's mind whenever the spell needed to be cast.

Anyway, with a smile on his face, Evian scrolled through the rest of the spells. Besides Wraithic Phasing, none of the spells he had gotten from the Store while he was a Wraith appeared for an Upgrade. Instead, the list was refreshed with newer spells but as he relaxed after his recent injury-heals as well as the upgrading of Wraithic Phasing, Evian's attention was quickly stolen from the screen in front of him by the two ladies in the bath, who no longer wished to be ignored.

Hands rubbed over Evian's body, as though tracing the areas that had been marked and torn up very recently. Evian looked from the hand to the one wielding it until his eyes fell on Carleine's face.

Her black hair was wet and sleeked back, clearly by choice and the partitioned locks of hair that used to cover a side of her face were also pulled away to even better show off her face while her hair fell well past her shoulders to the middle of her back as she thrust her breasts out in hopes of enticing Evian's attention.

It worked but as he stretched out his left to touch and cup one of the two perky globes, his wrist was seized by Carleine who directed Evian's hands to the gap between her thighs towards her lower lips well below water level.

Ember, with hair of an even redder hue than usual on account of the water, moved Evian's hand slowly, believing he would take control soon enough and go where she wanted him to go.

He didn't.

The moment he reached Ember's crotch and headed towards her pussy, he pulled away, went around to grab a handful of her ass cheeks, and pull her closer to him as he seized her lips in a powerful kiss.

Meanwhile, Carleine received what she wanted when Evian grabbed her breast with his right hand, squeezed the mound, and grabbed her nipple, pulling at it to have the black-haired beauty moaning, her nipples pointy and tingling just anticipating what was to come next.

Evian used the nipple in his hand as a handle to get her close and the moment her body touched Evian's, Carleine spread her legs enough to press her pussy mound against Evian's thigh and begin an intense humping.

As Evian swapped saliva with Ember, his hand forming shapes with the flesh of her ass and his tongue engaged in an intense and absolutely arousing oral battle with Ember's tongue, Carleine buried her face into the spot between Evian's neck and his shoulder.

First, she sucked with her lips and then she involved her teeth, nibbling happily with enough force to cause pain. When Evian shuddered against her, the vibration of his involuntary move causing tingles to run up Carleine's pussy and all over her body, the black haired Lady was subjected to quite the interesting minor-climax and reacted by humping her pussy even harder against Evian's thigh starting the journey to an even greater release.
