Intellect Rank B Awakening and the Gargoyle Demon King Candidate of the East
The crimson, sinister dawn of the Abyss was on the verge of slowly blooming beyond the desolate horizon when Yushin quietly opened his eyes first, stirred by the cold chill of early morning and the faint stir of demonic energy in the air.
The atmosphere of the Abyss was still piercingly harsh and heavy, but ever since his Intellect had risen to C-rank the day before, the flow of mana circulating through his body felt incomparably more refined and vivid than before, tangible all the way to his fingertips and toes.
Steadying his breath, Yushin quietly turned his head to look beside the bed.
On the wide bed, exhausted from yesterday's intense and lewd threesome, the silver-haired succubus wife Lilith and the crimson-haired vampire princess Amelia Tia lay in deep slumber beneath a thin silk blanket.
The evenly rising and falling of the two women's full, resilient chests, the silver and crimson strands of hair clinging to their dewy, flushed cheeks, and the faintly contented, languid smiles on their lips melted Yushin's heart into an endless, comfortable warmth.
...If I wake them now, they'll be dead tired from pushing themselves so hard yesterday. Better to slip out quietly and loosen up.
Taking care not to wake his two wives, Yushin eased himself out of the bed, erasing every trace of his footsteps and breathing.
In the front yard of the cabin, Yushin stood before the cold obsidian boulder where he had trained to the point of mana exhaustion the day before. He crossed his legs and slowly raised both hands to chest height.
Ssssss—
As Yushin drew a deep breath and gently lifted the A-rank mana in his dantian, the crimson mana in the atmosphere gathered neatly between his palms like fine silver threads.
It was a training of precise control—not recklessly bursting or excessively venting his mana, but aligning the flow of all three hundred sixty blood vessels in his body while maintaining a perfect balance between expenditure and recovery.
It was exactly the method the system assistant Yurang-i had advised him on yesterday.
He thoroughly suppressed any unnecessary overexertion, drilling only the flexibility and endurance of his mana circuits over and over.
Conscious of every subtle emptiness when mana left his fingertips and every weighty rebound when it refilled his dantian, he straightened the flow in time with his breathing.
Don't force it. Let it flow, natural as water...
Just as the crimson mist of the Abyss coiled around Yushin's entire body and began forming a faint ring of blue mana—
Pat, pat.
Soft, quiet footsteps approached from the direction of the cabin door.
"Just as I expected... up before your Bonnyeo, already training. My diligent Companion."
It was Tia's languid yet dignified voice. Beside her, Lilith in a thin lace slip padded over to Yushin's side with a small yawn.
"Nanggun-nim... after pushing yourself so hard yesterday, you're training again first thing in the morning? I really can't stop you, can I..."
As Yushin gave an awkward smile and tried to draw the mana back into his palms, Tia reached out and lightly caught his wrist.
"No. Do not stop—continue. Unlike yesterday's reckless, dangerous rampage... the weave of mana wrapping your body right now is astonishingly smooth and stable."
Lilith let out a sigh of relief and snuggled into Yushin's arms.
"As long as you're not hurt, Nanggun-nim, that's what matters... Hehe, then I'll wait for you while sucking your cock~♥"
"...Huh?"
Before Yushin could even react, Lilith knelt down, undid his pants buckle, and yanked his underwear down in one smooth motion.
Swish.
In the cool pre-dawn breeze, his massive cock—swelling ferociously awake with the morning—sprang out into the open air.
Lilith lewdly licked her lips with her red tongue, blew a hot breath onto Yushin's cock, and engulfed it all the way to the base.
Chup, churuuuup! Chwoooook!
"Nnngh...! Mwah, chwup... Your cock is extra hard this morning, Nanggun-nim...♥"
As Lilith's small lips and soft tongue teased his sensitive glans and slit, Yushin's hips bucked of their own accord.
Watching the scene with her arms crossed, the vampire princess Tia pouted her lips, her eyes glittering with jealousy.
"Lilith... hogging your morning treat all to yourself and leaving Bonnyeo entirely out of it—how truly shameless of you."
"Ehehe... Come eat together, Tia-unnie!"
Lilith smiled around the cock in her mouth and naturally scooted aside to make room.
Tia hesitated for a moment, her face flushing, before stealing closer and settling herself between Yushin's thighs on the opposite side.
"My Companion... this won't interfere with your training, will it?"
"If anything... my mana concentration is about to get insanely better."
At his answer, Tia smiled and wrapped her lips and hands around the shaft and balls that Lilith had been sucking.
Chup, chuuuup! Chulip!
Two peerless beauties kneeling side by side, taking turns devouring Yushin's massive cock from both sides—a decadent double fellatio at dawn.
Lilith drove her throat deep around his glans, servicing him with enthusiastic deep-throating, while Tia carefully sheathed her sharp fangs and licked up the length of his shaft as if wringing out every vein.
"Chwup... chyuboooook♥"
"Mmm... tsup, chwoooook...!"
Lewd, slick sounds of saliva echoed through the cabin yard at dawn.
Even as Yushin felt the supreme pleasure erupting from his loins, he focused every nerve in his body and rotated his mana circuits with meticulous precision.
The explosive sexual pleasure bursting from his lower body, and the clear resonance of A-rank mana circulating through his upper half.
The sensation of the last gear that had been grinding inside his dantian finally meshing perfectly shot through his entire body.
No longer leaking outward, his mana began to draw an infinite orbit—distinguishing on its own which vessels to flow through and when to rest within the dantian.
And in that instant, a brilliant system notification rang out in his ears.
Congratulations! Through micro-circulation of mana and resonance with your essence, your Intellect rank has increased!
Intellect: C-rank → B-rank.
Mana control precision has been maximized. The mana retention time and sustained efficiency of all skills have increased dramatically.
Every noise in his head vanished as if by magic, and his vision brightened until it was clear as crystal.
His output remained at A-rank, but the efficiency and stability of his mana had leapt forward more than twofold—a staggering breakthrough.
Tia was the first to sense the change in his mana and pulled her lips away.
"...The flow of your mana has completely changed, my Companion. The time it lingers within your body has grown to an entirely different dimension."
Lilith, licking the thick coating of pre-cum from her lips, gazed up at Yushin with half-lidded eyes.
"The taste of your cum has gotten... so much richer and sweeter than before too...♥"
At those words, Tia's eyes flashed with a lascivious gleam.
"Is that... truly so? Then Bonnyeo must taste it for herself as well."
"Let's eat together, Tia-unnie!"
The two women clung to Yushin's cock as if competing, shaking their heads at him like madwomen.
Byuuuuurk! Pyuuuut! Pushhh!
Beneath the light of the rising dawn, Yushin's hot cum poured down into the two women's throats and mouths like a waterfall.
By the time the morning sun had fully risen, Yushin—his essence sucked dry without a drop remaining by his two wives—sat before the table with a dazed expression, soothing his thoroughly emptied balls.
Spread across the table was a full array of stamina-restoring health foods: grilled eel, garlic chive salad, abalone porridge, and more.
"Nanggun-nim, everything here is good for your body, so you have to eat it all up!"
Lilith pushed the dishes toward him with an innocent, sunny smile, while Tia fiddled idly with the tip of her spoon and avoided his gaze.
"Bonnyeo has... already eaten quite heartily before morning, so I am full."
"I'm quite stuffed as well, fufu."
Watching Lilith and Tia meet each other's eyes and blush, Yushin forced an awkward laugh and swallowed his food.
After the meal, Yushin fastened Heukwol at his waist and rose from his seat.
"Well then, I'm off."
"Return safely."
"Both of you—don't get hurt, and be careful out there!"
Seeing off with Lilith's lovely farewell, Yushin and Tia stepped out of the cabin.
The moment they were outside, the playful atmosphere flipped in an instant into the cold current of a real battlefield.
Tia's crimson eyes gleamed as she pointed toward the eastern horizon.
"The next Demon King candidate is... as I told you yesterday, the lord of the gargoyle race, who commands stone and rock. A ferocious aura is pouring out of the great rocky gorge to the east."
"Gargoyles—the ones who petrify by day and only move at night, right?"
"A common low-grade gargoyle, perhaps. But one who has claimed a seat as a Demon King candidate has likely long since transcended such trifling constraints of day and night. You must not let your guard down, my Companion."
"A transcendent being, huh... Honestly, that just makes it more exciting."
Yushin tightened his grip on the D-rank magic sword Heukwol and looked toward the eastern sky.
Go Yushin, the Dimensional Wanderer, now harmonizing B-rank Intellect with A-rank mana.
And before him, a blood-soaked life-or-death struggle with a new Demon King candidate vying for the supremacy of the demon realm Abyss was drawing steadily closer.
