Chapter 24 - Charlotte

Everyone was baffled by the power emanating from the two who couldn't be compared to a normal individual even Charlotte power couldn't compare toward the beastly man. Caelum gestured for them to fight the other lackey while he focused on fighting Vetto. He conjured weapons while dashing towards his opponent who swung his arms, summoning a large beastly claw that tried to slash Caelum.

Caelum evaded the attack by twisting his body before shooting an ice shard towards him yet it was far too brittle that vetto was able to crush it quite easily. He vaguely guessed that the beastly mage had some intense training from the last time they met.

Their clash continues sending waves of energy pushing back the people who were protected by his girls. They focus on saving the people while Caelum concentrates on fighting his opponent. He relishes the exhausting sensation of their battle while Vetto in rage that his opponent was enjoying their fight. 

Vetto proceeded to create a power stump that shook the whole place before striking Caelum with an immense force that sent him flying several feet, stopping himself by using his [ Koku Shundō ]. Caelum opted a sinister smile forming additional arms wielding a blade before the energy churn coursing through his weapon then sent a slashing beam that Vetto barely evaded and sliced through his arm like butter.

Vetto was taken aback how easily he was cut down by his blade and intently stared down by Caelum that made him recall his past life. The rage and despair bottle up inside of him and overflows before his magical energy skyrocketed once more. 

"I can't let a human like you defeat me!! I shall show utmost despair!!"

"Jeez, try eating a Snickers bar."

It was then Vetto regenerated his body before a third eye appeared on his forehead then spoke in foreign words that soon created a power blast of magic. Caelum held out his hand before turning the attack into ices before shattering it then bent over evading a fist coming his way before elbow striking his opponent then uppercut combo flinging Vetto several feet but planted his into the ground then leap forwards. 

Caelum noticed something strange but continued evading and parrying the attack while Vetto's strike seemed to increase and grow much stronger than before. He tried turning Vetto completely into ice only for it to shatter then witness how Vetto had completely changed. It made him realize who he was fighting.

{ Kneel. }

A demonic voice echoed throughout the room as the beastly man changed his form into a much monstrous form. The beastly man had horns jetting out of his temples and another set of arms appeared alongside dark wings. 

He stared down at Caelum who felt the gravity increase by several folds causing him to bend into his knee yet held himself back grinning widely, shocking his opponent.

"Who the hell are you?"

{ You quite a revolting creature who does know his place in the world. I said kneel! }

"Hahahaha you first."

He used his [ Dragon Haki ] causing Lucifero to fall into his knee dumbstruck by the attack then tried to look at them only to be met with sword swing. Lucifero barely evaded the attack and was in rage by ordeal and flared his power pushing Caelum back.

{ This is futile human. I bow that I shall kill you, you're family and friend along with those involved before drowning this whole world into despair! }

"Sure sure."

Caelum decided to change his tactic and dispel his silver aura confusing Lucifero before thundering noise could be heard as he turned into his [ Lightning God Form: Indra ].

Lucifero baffled, then witnessed him vanish before a barrage of strikes came, unable to see his opponent. Caelum's speed was beyond a simple lightning that was barely evaded by his opponent. It was then his movement was halted when gravity weighed into his body thensaw Lucifero smirked then struck him that fling him several feet.

{ Insignificant human!! }

"You sound like some sort of young master."

Caelum jokingly said before producing lightning javelin  firing them towards his enemy who had powerful gravity that distorts the space and Mana around him along with everything in the surrounding. He whistled after being impressed by the power of lucifero.

He couldn't get close without his power being distorted by his magic and decided to take it seriously by summoning Tempest Blade that started to churn his energy baffling Lucifero.

"Divine Retribution."

The sound of lightning crackingly could be heard as above Lucifero was a stormy cloud producing a thundering sound that soon descended a powerful lightning strike that cause to scream in anguish. It causes the whole place to violently shake releasing a powerful shockwave that pushes everything back and produces a thick cloud of smoke.

{ I-Impossible! How is thi-Ugh!!! }

Lucifero couldn't accept his defeat at the hands of a mere human yet his vessel couldn't take his power anymore and gradually dissipated into nothingness only leaving Caelum not even scratched from the attack. 

"Damn, that was an overkill…."

At the center was a massive creator where his opponent should have been yet only hard ground could be seen that remained. Caelum heads back with the others while pondering why Lucifero appeared and only guesses it was coincidence.

===========

After the battle, everyone that was injured was quickly healed while his group remained to help, spending a day or two within the water city until they head back home and finally take their day off. 

Caelum had finished the report and spent a date with his lover including Vanessa, he was currently having a date with Charlotte since they were planning on finally doing it. However their date was interrupted by the ruckus and immediately went to check the view while eating his meal. He dislikes people interrupting his meals especially when he's on a date.

"So it seems that some rat interrupted our fun time."

"It seems like a kingdom is under attack. We should head there where the fight is."

Caelum nodded, flaring his silver aura before using [ Koku Shundō ] to leap into the air while Charlotte leaped into the roof of the building while dashing toward the ruckus. 

Charlotte uses her briar magic to help the citizens from the fallen debris and fights those who invaded their country. She swiftly captured the enemies while Caelum cast his magic to attack them with shards and turning some into ice sculptures. 

He suddenly moved to the side as a slime monster with an old geezer that looked like he died a long time ago started screaming some villain bullshit.

"Oi ugly, ever heard of plastic surgery?"

[ No, they don't. ]

'I was joking…'

He deadpanned when Cereza took his joke seriously then heard her giggled while the enemy turned to look at him maniacally smiling.

"Oh another magic knight and this one is really brave!? I will surely enjoy sucking your life!!"

"Dude, only beautiful ladies have that privilege, I'm straight."

Caelum just lazily dodged, making his opponent frustrated and tried to trap him in his mucus magic. He could easily read his moment even more when using [ Foresight ]. 

"Eeww, I don't need your sticky stuff touching me you fucking pedophile."

He then noticed something and slightly turned to avoid an attack that erased a large chunk of his enemies' slime magic. Caelum couldn't help but whistle while looking at the person responsible.

"You know you have to pay for that?"

"It's not my problem, commoner."

Langris didn't bat an eye as he wanted to see his older brother whom he started to mock. Caelum just shrugged it off and went to see the enormous tree that sprouted up in the sky.

"Holy crap how did that not destroy the city!?"

Caelum exclaimed before dashing his way toward the enormous three and noticed how it absorbed quite a large quantity of magical energy. He could describe the wood to like wood style but not as malleable. 

He observed his surroundings seeing the diamond soldiers being dispatched by Charlotte who was wearing civilian outfit yet swiftly performing this duty as magic knight captain. Caelum resumed his hunt for the enemy turning everyone into past tense while having the civilians who were caught in the crossfire. 

Once everything was over and everyone was swiftly repelled by the might of the clover kingdom went back to their country much to Caelum disappointment.

"They're really stupid for trying without a proper plan."

He remarked how they went to attack once they realized their chances left. It was a foolish decision and resulted in their loss rather than gaining anything. Caelum returned beside Charlotte, forced to postpone their plan.

'I should head to the diamond kingdom because of this.'

Caelum flared his [ Dragon Haki ] feeling cuckold because of their invasion but calmed down considering that his prediction was a bit off. It was rather difficult when things kept changing and uncertain results would come.

============

After a few days, Caelum had been invited by Charlotte in laws which he accepted and arrived at their household where two people were waiting for him. They were observing his movement trying to find anything that could be a negative point yet nothing was there, only a charisma that drew them into him. 

"You are the man that my daughter fell in love with? I heard you're the youngest magic captain and wonder if you're truly qualified for it."

"Young man, why don't you follow us and have a private chat?" 

Caelum accepted while Charlotte was anxious around his parents but calmed her down. They arrived in a small pavilion and sat down while their servant placed a few snacks for them to have. 

After a while they had a long discussion regarding his marriage to Charlotte since the title of a genius couldn't be easily passed even if he was just an orphan. Caelum silently said that a family name is not important for him considering he'll just live quite a long time. He is willing to give his child with Charlotte their last name which causes his lover to blush while her partner laughs it off. 

Time passed by and Caelum had been given a room that he'll spend with Charlotte. The latter was blushing since they were alone and it was the time that they'll finally going to do it.

Caelum pushed her into the bed and pinning Charlotte whose body tremble yet had filled with anticipation that made him excited. 

He was taken aback when a warm lips went into his lips when Charlotte acted to kiss him. Normally, she was far too shy therefore was shocked when she acted bold.  They both enjoy the heartfelt kiss while Caelum feels the air start to heat up. Their lips departed leaving a trail while her eyes showed longing for him. Charlotte lips tremble staring at Caelum who is staring at her with full lust and love.

"Are you ready my dear? This is going to be the best night of your life."

"Y-Yes but don't talk like that or my heart will explode!?"

"Hahaha cute."

Charlotte blushed trying to hide her face while He smiled and caressed her hair while preparing himself to take her. She was far too tempting and kissed her neck that caused shivers through her spine while Caelum slowly undressed the woman. He made sure to cast a barrier to avoid people from listening and move his fingers through her body that sent waves of pleasure. 

Her mind slowly became clouded by lust and desire for his touch that every time his fingers passed a sensitive part shuddered at the sensation while Caelum girth was growing from the sight hearing her small gasp and moan. He was proud that her fate did not fall for the dense black bulls captain. 

He was able to remove all of her outfut while Charlotte had done the same with his clothes and saw the enormous rod became anxious like the others.

"Calm down, I'll make sure it won't hurt you."

Caelum whispered into her ear to reassure Charlotte who slightly calmed down and blush as she laid on bed.
