Chapter 274: Lustful Comet

"…After that, I got the artifact, and before being killed, I used it and traversed through the void, only to arrive within the OverRealm, specifically within the Phoenix Clan. If I had to guess, my subconscious desire to reunite with my fiance, Spica, brought me here; otherwise, who knows where I would've ended up." Said Comet lightly with a longing expression as he sipped tea while sitting opposite Elaine, who had been silently listening.

"Hmm, I see." Muttered Elaine lightly as she observed Comet before closing her eyes and spreading her divine sense to Maxim.

'What was that fool talking about, Maxim? I was only paying attention whenever Brother's name was mentioned.' Asked Elaine lightly via divine sense with a faint frown while Maxim couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

'Haa, your Highness, I know most of what he was speaking about didn't interest you, but you're the Crown Princess, future Empress to the throne; it'll be your duty to listen to uninteresting reports daily. It's best to get your practice in right now while you're still a Princess; please try to do better, your Highness.' Advised Maxim softly via divine sense as he glanced at Elaine, who grumbled in annoyance.

'Hmph, I'll try.' Replied Elaine in slight annoyance via divine sense before slightly nodding, causing Maxim to faintly smile while he transferred all the information he had gathered from Comet's story to Elaine, who swiftly sorted through it.

Although Maxim was correct about me needing to listen despite how uninteresting it may be, I'm secretly glad I didn't pay attention since roughly half of what Comet had talked about had been mostly of him courting women, followed by him either fighting or killing various people who he offended simply because he didn't know how to control his lust. The worst part was that he made his story sound like his actions were always justifiable when, in reality, he could've avoided offending at least half of those people if he had just controlled his lust; the other half was him just being stupid, something that was not so easily fixed.

'Tsk, he's such a fool; I'm astonished he managed to escape from Brother back in the Spirit realm, let alone all those peoples who chased after him. Well, either way, he's done something foolish, such as offending Brother, so he's as good as dead; I'd kill him this instant, but I'm sure Brother would like to do it personally. Besides, now that he's affiliated with the Divine Phoenix Clan through marriage, we should at least wait until the Flame of Rebirth has baptized Brother before killing him.' Pondered Elaine lightly as she opened her eyes and looked at Comet, who faintly smiled back at her while using his system.

"So, back to the part where you offended Br-Elif in the Spirit Realm, do you not understand how you've only dug yourself an early grave by coming to the OverRealm?" Remarked Elaine lightly with a raised eyebrow as she observed Comet, who sported an angry expression.

"Tch, I appreciate your concern, Princess Elaine, but that is partially the reason I came here to the OverRealm, to settle my debt with that bastard of an Elf! N-No offense to you two, of course; I'm sure not all Elves are as bad as Elif." Stated Comet with a click of his tongue as he clenched his fist and gnashed his teeth while the image of an eight-year-old Elif surfaced in his mind, while Maxim and Elaine's face both twitched.

Hearing Comet speak badly about Brother angered me, but not nearly as much as when I caught a woman looking his way; I was much calmer when it didn't involve a woman.

'Well, I'm not worried about this Comet trying to steal Brother from me, so I suppose I don't really consider him a threat.' Thought Elaine lightly as she rubbed her chin before shaking her head and glancing at Comet in slight anger, something she opted to keep hidden while Maxim remained silent, only intending to make a move if ordered.

"You're truly a fool, aren't you, Comet? You've just entered Br-Elif's domain, and you talk about settling the debt with him? I'm surprised Spica hasn't already informed you about the state of the OverRealm. Do you even know what the three major Hegemonies are?" Questioned Elaine curiously as she folded her arms underneath her breasts, causing them to slightly jiggle while Comet lustfully gulped.

"Y-You're worrying too much, Princess Elaine; I already know some basic information about the OverRealm. I also know Elif is the Crown Prince of the Immortal Elven Empire, one of the seven strongest hegemonies in the entire OverRealm; however, that won't stop me! He had robbed me of my wives and humiliated me! I'll repay this blood debt one hundredfold!" Declared Comet aggressively as he stared at Elaine's breasts while already imagining himself stepping on Elif's corpse while passionately kissing Elaine and groping her, causing him to pitch a tent.

'Ugh, disgusting; can't even hide your own lust.' Thought Elaine in pure disgust as she noticed Comet's erection before standing up, intending to leave.

"Well, whatever, I'll be watching when it happens. Maxim, let's leave." Said Elaine as she walked past Comet, who was oblivious to his own erection, before heading towards the door, causing him to snap out of his daze and quickly stand up.

"W-Wait, Princess Elaine; w-where are you going? Y-You sure you don't wish to stay for longer? I'm sure Spica shall be returning soon!" Stated Comet anxiously as he dashed towards the front door, blocking it with his body, causing Elaine to stop, not wishing to get any closer to his hardened member.

"No. Now move; I intend to go and train with Maxim." Ordered Elaine with a slightly cold expression as she eyed Comet, who quickly smiled while moving out of the way and opening the door.

"Ahh, why didn't you just say so, Princess Elaine? I may have only been here for a short time, but Spica has given me a tour of this place, so allow me to show you the training grounds. It'll be a good opportunity to show you just how strong I am so that you don't need to feel worried for my safety when I finally face off against that bastard Elif." Remarked Comet with a smile as he exited the room, only to close the door after Maxim left before quickly arriving in front of Elaine, who stopped and pondered.

'Hmm, I'm not the least concerned Brother can't defeat him, but he was able to escape from Brother once, so it wouldn't hurt to watch him fight and better grasp his strength, techniques, and abilities at his disposal. It may come in handy for when Brother faces him once more.' Thought Elaine with a faint frown as she glanced at Comet, who looked to be ready to drop onto one knee and plead to her.

"Alright then, lead the way; it is my first time here, so I don't know where to go." Replied Elaine with a nod as she waved her hand, causing Comet to nearly pump his fist in the air out of joy.

"Eh, first time here? Aren't you friends with Spica? I'd imagine you'd visit her frequently." Said Comet with a nod as he began walking down the halls while getting envious looks from every man, causing him to display an arrogant smirk, only to turn and glance at Elaine, who just gave him a confused look.

I didn't bother responding to him and just closed my eyes while I followed behind him; thankfully, despite his apparent idiotic tendencies, he was smart enough to read the atmosphere and didn't pester me, which made it bearable. After a few minutes passed, we eventually landed in the training grounds, where various people were training, sparing, or practicing their techniques; though, other than a quick glance, I didn't pay them any heed; their techniques were all decent at best, nothing worthwhile.

"We've arrived at the training grounds, Princess Elaine. So, shall we train first or-" Said Comet lightly with a faint smile as he glanced at the numerous people before glancing at Elaine, who suddenly summoned Orcus from her dimension ring, causing him to be slightly taken aback by her weapons of choice.

"There is no need to waste time; I'll fight against you; it should prove to be a decent sparing session." Remarked Elaine as she eyed Comet, who raised his eyebrow before faintly smirking.

"Heh, I see; this was all a ploy to test my strength; despite you never explicitly saying it, you actually are worried about me. I'm honored you'd feel such a way, so then, allow me to show you my strength, Princess Elaine." Stated Comet with a faint grin as he summoned a sword from his dimension ring while looking at Elaine, who simply ignored his words before disappearing, only to reappear standing in a large, empty arena.

Once that fool Comet arrived, I checked his cultivation base, only to be decently surprised that he was only a late Divine, one stage lower than me.

'He's over four hundred years old and only managed to accomplish this? The audacity he has to claim he'll settle his debt with Brother is beyond humorous.' Thought Elaine with an amused smile as she suppressed her cultivation base to be equal to Comet, who stood opposite of her.

"Heh, before the spar begins, do you mind partaking in a little bet? If I manage to best you, you'll allow me to call you without using honorifics." Asked Comet with a faint grin as he circulated his Qi through his body, looking at Elaine while transferring control of his body to Gel, allowing her to fight in his place.
