Chapter 29: A Moment Of Anger Well Spent
Asura sat in the darkness, watching Mu Xue's pretty face sleep peacefully.
Not long after they entered, she was excited and, between their kisses, spoke about her match against a girl who used ice but was weak and that Xavida surrendered without fighting when put against the princess.
'It's different from last time...'
'In the previous world, Xavida and Vela fought until both were exhausted, but Xavida lost, and now it seems that was due to her weakness.'
'That filthy prince wanted to make you his? Did he ask this last time, too... Ah... My heart feels painful. I want to throw her down, mark her body with my lips so no other man approaches her... '
'Damn it... I am so irritated and jealous.'
His body gave off a light, magical glow, the shards of fire and ice dancing around him as his anger empowered the Anima flowing through his veins, increasing the magical pollution caused by his body.
'Let's head out... slaughter monsters until the sun rises.'
With a flicker of his dark red eyes, his body stepped beside Mu Xue's sleeping body before leaning down and gently kissing her soft cheek with a smack echoing through the room.
"My lovely Xue'er, I am sorry you must deal with such idiots."
"Worry not. I will make sure nobody bothers you again."
The moment he began turning away, her soft purple eyes shimmering like gems were filled with delight as she observed his obsessive and crazed eyes with golden pupils.
She didn't call out and watched with a warm smile as he left from the window.
"Master... those obsessive and monopolistic eyes make me so wet... Xue'er might lose control and assault you one day."
"Well... let me just follow you and keep you safe. Hehe."
Quickly wearing her armoured maid outfit and changing her underwear, she grasped her sword and stepped out the window, feeling impressed that Asura's speed and stamina had increased so much after reaching Stage One as her lips curved up.
"After all, Master could never be ordinary... His speed at least is greater than a normal Stage Two."

Once again, Asura found himself in the same forest that allowed him to take his first steps while he dashed deeper, trying to reach the deepest area of the Zephyr forest, ignoring the weak wolves who cowered upon sensing his aura.
'Not even Stage One...'
'Let's allow them to grow—no need to kill these beasts that won't even serve as delicious meat for dinner.'
'Lumeris Nova come to assist me.'
Asura jumped along the trees to avoid causing the wolves and ordinary monsters to be dragged into the conflict as he focused forward.
Ever so closely, now at ninety-four per cent.
Asura licked his lips hungrily before sensing another Stage Two monster approaching, the smell of blood and fresh meat attracting it.
This time, it was a white tiger, its four-metre-long body filled with scars across its fur.
'Hmm? This aura...'
'It seems I must fight if I want to get stronger.'
Asura tightened his grip; the tiger's red eyes stared at him emotionlessly, its long fangs dripping saliva as it moved incredibly fast, jumping towards Asura while its claws glowed golden light, creating fiery blades aiming for his throat.
Asura dodged to the side, rolling on the ground, avoiding its claws and the blades of fire that shot past his head, slamming into a tree and cutting the trunk down, causing it to fall loudly.
Its tail glowing silver, creating a whip made of steel, smashing down towards Asura, who raised his lance to block the attack, pushing him back, causing his boots to dig into the dirt while his arms shook violently, almost losing his grip on his lance.
'Fuck! It's strong!'
Asura clenched his jaw while kicking the tiger, a burst of black flames erupting from his kick while the tiger rolled away, its fur charred and smoking from the attack.
'Using Devil Arts isn't enough...'
Asura grinned wickedly, dropping his lance and raising his hand, black runes shining across his arm, forming strange runes that wrote the word ice in countless languages, rotating as they flickered with black ice filled with dread.
The tiger looked at him warily, moving around him, watching for opportunities.
"Come!" Asura shouted, "Or are you scared?!"
The tiger growled while rushing forwards, its tail forming silver swords, slashing downwards, aimed for Asura's throat.
Asura grabbed its tail, gripping the silver blade while using all his strength to pull it towards him as the black magic circle formed a deadly shard of ice that shot towards the tiger's brain, killing it instantly.

Asura felt a rush of ecstasy course through his veins, his blood boiling while the tiger dropped dead, the magic circle fading as he sighed in relief, picking up his lance.
'Damn... Stage Two creatures are quite strong.'
He wiped the sweat off his forehead while walking deeper into the forest, hoping to find more opponents that would increase his power and approach his goal of becoming stronger.
Smiling as he continued onwards, reaching the centre of the Zephyr forest where Stage Three creatures roamed and the feelings of intense hatred towards Velos faded, but now he could use his wits and plot his cold, deadly revenge.
In the background, with a face of worship, Mu Xue followed him, collecting any parts of the monsters that could be sold for money.
"Master... you are so fierce and powerful; what might happen to me if you use that power on my body!? Ha...Haa... so exciting."
Asura killed another twenty Stage Two enemies before returning home and targeting Stage Three enemies when he was more comfortable with his power.
