Alex had only just recovered when he heard Udara ask once more,

“Are you done now, Master?”

Blood once again rushed through his body at the provocative challenge. In fact, this time, the mana flowing through his body seemed to respond as well, empowering his already heightened state.

However, before Alex’s could wield his veiny weapon again, Udara suddenly grabbed hold of it.

The sudden grasp of her warm, soft, sweaty hands caught Alex off guard, almost causing him to lose control and accidentally release another serving of potent shaft essence.

Before he could respond, Udara flipped him over and mounted him.

“Let me help you, Master,” she said.

She positioned the shaft to her cave entrance, then drove it whole into her cave with her weight.

“Hmm~!” They moaned.

She settled herself over him and leaned forward.

“Leave it to me, Master. I will help finish you off now,” she said.

She had said that with good intentions, but it sounded otherwise to Alex.

It didn’t help that, in Alex’s eyes, the woman straddling him seemed to grow wings, horns, and a tail, resembling a succubus descended to drain him of his essence.

Udara’s Succubus Crest tattoo glowed faintly as the related bloodline was… aroused by her actions, causing its power to try to express itself further.

This initiated a chain reaction that triggered the Harmony Mark to influence her other Rune Tattoos, drawing more bloodline power from her other bloodlines to balance out the influence of the Succubus bloodline.

A consequence of this was that Alex soon saw three more phantoms—a total of four Matriarch forms—straddling over him.

They seemed to look at him with teasing smiles—and hidden within them, contempt—as if that was where he was supposed to be, beneath them.

Alex’s own bloodline seemed unwilling to take that.

His own bloodline—the essence of patriarchal lineages—roused itself for the fray. Its bloodline power coursed through his veins, rejuvenating him for the next battle against the Matriarchs.

Udara used her combat experience to remain mounted on him, no matter how he tried to resist and counter. Meanwhile, her body coordination—and perhaps bloodline memories—allowed her to move with an almost instinctive sensuality, bringing Alex immense pleasure.

Before long, Alex once again found himself drained of his essence.

But it was not without gain. Udara had also begun to show traces of weakness—after all, this was her first battle in the bedroom.

Alex’s prior experience came to the fore. He recovered the superior position, pinning Udara beneath him once more before the two once again lost themselves in the heat of the moment.

Soon, the bed creaked so much that it threatened to break as the battle descended into the most primal form of intimacy between a man and a woman.

Eventually, after an unknown amount of time spent in their ‘furious’ battle, both Udara and Alex collapsed onto the bed, which had long since been soaked in their various fluids.

The battle didn’t end with a clear winner, as Udara lost consciousness halfway through, and Alex couldn’t gain her words of surrender. He, too, eventually lapsed into slumber after releasing the tension in his body.

The couple woke up in each other’s embrace. Alex stroked Udara’s back, down towards her plump buttocks, while nibbling gently at her elongated ears.

“Hmm…” The sensation woke Udara from her sleep. “Stop it, Master. I am not playing again,” she said with a laugh.

“I take it you admit defeat, then?” he said.

“Yes, I do.” Udara laughed again. “My body is sore all over.”

“That’s what you get for challenging my manhood,” Alex said playfully.

Realisation finally dawned on Udara, and she came to understand the cause of Alex’s ‘vigorous’ actions.

“You are so petty.” She rolled her eyes.

She nestled more comfortably into his embrace as they basked in the afterglow of their ‘battle’.

Some moments later, she realised that Alex’s hand, which had been stroking her back, had suddenly stopped. When she looked up at his face, she found that he was lost in thought.

“What’s on your mind, Master?” she asked.

“Sorry, I was just thinking about something,” Alex replied.

He paused for a moment, then bit the bullet and asked, “Udara, do you know the identity of the person who saved you from the facility?”

“I do not.” Udara shook her head. “They always wore a mask while they were with me. And with my condition back then, I didn’t notice anything specific about them. I can’t even tell if they were male or female.

“In fact, I barely remember much aside from the important details.”

But just then, a memory flashed through her mind.

“I think the person was a Drow,” she suddenly said.

“Are you sure?” Alex asked.

“The style of the clothes they wore resembled that of the Drows. It was distinctly different from an Amazon’s, that’s for sure.” Udara nodded.

“It’s not much, but it is something to go on,” Alex muttered to himself.

“Why do you ask?” Udara inquired.

“I wish to thank the person. Even if I can’t do anything to those responsible for your situation now, I can at least thank the person who saved your life and allowed me to meet you… It’s the least I can do,” Alex said.

Udara pressed herself against his chest and kissed him.

“Thank you,” she said, placing her forehead against his.

After a moment, Udara said, somewhat carefully, “Master, can you not hate my birth family?”

“How can I not, after what they did to you?” Alex’s eyes sharpened.

“We do not know the full story, Master. We’ve experienced enough to know that there’s often more to something than it seems on the surface. I want us to be sure before we pass judgement on them.

“They are family. They deserve that much,” she said softly and sincerely.

Alex sighed. He looked at her helplessly.

“Fine, if that’s what you want. We will decide what to do and what stance to take in front of them after we find out the truth.” Alex nodded.

Udara snuggled back into his embrace, and the couple enjoyed their quiet moment.

And with that, the Sanctuary subspace returned to its usual tranquillity.
