Champion Of Lust: Gods Conquer's Harem Paradise!

Juat as he thought Zara was done, she did otherwise, outside the illusion, she flexed her hands slightly.

The twisted forest stretched endlessly, with the oppressive shadows casting strange patterns on the gnarled trees.

Pyris stood motionless for a moment, taking in the air that seemed to pulse with tension. His muscles coiled beneath his skin like a lion ready to pounce, his fingers curling and uncurling by his side, eager to unleash the elemental chaos that was his to command.

It felt like he hadn't even fought at all.

His breathing was steady, controlled, but the air around him felt anything but calm.

At that moment his power flared, it was as if the entire forest had become aware of his presence. The leaves trembled, the trees groaned under the pressure, and the ground shifted slightly beneath his feet.

Pyris' eyes glowed faintly, a warning that the full force of his powers was close at hand.

Without warning, a creature emerged—a monstrous figure that shook the earth with each lumbering step. It was grotesque, twenty feet tall, and covered in spikes that glistened like wet stone. Pyris' body reacted instantly, his muscles tightening, his posture shifting to one of readiness.

The air crackled around him as his aura flared—a tangible pressure that caused the very earth to quiver beneath his feet.

As the beast roared and charged, the earth shattered with its force. But Pyris was faster.

His body moved like lightning—swift, fluid, almost a blur. He ducked under the creature's massive arm, his feet skimming the ground as he dodged the blow with inches to spare. The wind from its attack whipped past him, carrying debris in its wake, but Pyris didn't slow.

His hands lit up with elemental energy, and the ground beneath the creature suddenly froze over, ice spiraling outward in jagged formations. The beast's foot slammed down, but it was too late—it was trapped.

The ice tightened around its ankles, cracking audibly as it held the creature in place.

The monster bellowed in frustration, thrashing violently, but Pyris was already moving, his muscles rippling as he pushed off the ground with the grace of a predator. His body was a blur of motion, moving with a speed that made it look like he was gliding through the air.

As he landed, golden lightning sparked in his hands, and he flung it forward with a flick of his wrist.

BOOM!

The bolt struck the beast's chest with a sound like thunder, the sheer impact sending it stumbling backward. The shockwave rippled outward, shaking the trees and sending waves through the ground. Pyris stood tall, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction as the creature's charred body slumped to the ground, smoke rising from where the lightning had hit.

But there was no time to pause.

A serpent-like creature, larger than any Pyris had seen before, darted from the shadows, its sleek body twisting through the air with impossible speed. Its eyes glowed with malevolent intent, and its fangs dripped with a venom that sizzled as it hit the earth.

Pyris' body shifted again, instinct taking over. His feet danced across the ground as he evaded the serpent's strike, each movement precise, each dodge as fluid as water. The air crackled around him with every step, his muscles alive with power as he wove through the beast's deadly attacks.

"Ice can't stop this one," he muttered to himself, his voice a low growl.

With a sharp exhale, Pyris' aura flared even brighter. Fire erupted from his hands, a torrent of flames that twisted and writhed like a living thing. The heat was intense—so powerful that the air shimmered, and the very earth beneath his feet blackened.

With a flick of his wrist, he sent the flames roaring toward the serpent.

The beast screeched as the flames engulfed it, its body twisting violently in agony. Pyris didn't stop. His fire intensified, roaring like a dragon's breath, incinerating the creature until it was nothing more than a pile of ash.

The ground beneath Pyris trembled with each release of power, and the atmosphere itself seemed to bend under the force of his Elemental Sovereign's Aura. Every element bowed to his will, and the air itself seemed to hum with anticipation.

Mira, watching from the shadows, nodded at his control. His every movement caused the environment to ripple, as though nature itself responded to his power.

The air around Pyris crackled with golden lightning as he prepared for the next assault. His body, taut and brimming with energy, moved with such fluidity that it seemed as though time slowed for him.

From above, a winged beast screeched, its talons as large as blades, diving toward Pyris with terrifying speed. Without hesitation, Pyris spun on his heel, his body twisting effortlessly. He leaped into the air, meeting the beast head-on with a surge of wind beneath him.

The wind didn't just carry him—it obeyed him, lifting him with grace as though he were one with the element itself.

With a snap of his fingers, razor-sharp gusts of wind sliced through the beast's wings, sending it spiraling out of control. The creature screeched as it crashed into the ground, defeated before it could even touch him.

Pyris landed lightly on his feet, the earth welcoming him like an old friend. He was calm, his breathing steady, but the air around him still crackled with latent energy, like a storm waiting to be unleashed.

He was like a battle crazed maniac, maybe he was craving a good battle all along.

Outside the illusion, Zara's brow furrowed, her breath quickening as she pushed more power into her spell. Her hands trembled as she summoned more creatures—larger, stronger, more fearsome than before. Rank 17, Rank 18—the strongest of beings she could conjure were pulled into the illusion, their forms solidifying as her magic twisted reality itself.

Although compared to the real Rank 17 and 18 corrupted beasts, her's were like children but still powerful.

The air around her hummed with power, and the walls of the mansion creaked under the strain of her spell. But even as she poured more energy into the illusion, a knot of curiosity twisted in her chest.

"This power... this aura... it's more than just elemental control," she whispered to herself, her eyes locked on Pyris within the illusion. "How does he possess this? It's something beyond anything I've ever seen. And he... He can control more elements that he should be!"

She gritted her teeth, summoning her final challenge.

The forest trembled, the trees shaking violently as something monstrous stirred beneath the earth. Pyris' muscles tensed, his body instinctively shifting into a defensive stance as the ground split open before him. Explore more stories at empire

A towering figure emerged, its form so massive that it blotted out the sky. Rank 18. Its body was a grotesque fusion of all the previous creatures—a monstrous amalgamation of flesh and power. Its eyes glowed with an otherworldly fire, and the air around it warped as though reality itself bent to its will.

The creature roared, a sound that sent shockwaves through the air, rattling Pyris to his core.

But Pyris was undeterred. His eyes glowed with a fierce determination, his Elemental Sovereign's Aura flaring to life once more. The ground beneath his feet cracked as his power surged, and the air around him crackled with golden lightning. Every muscle in his body tensed, alive with energy.

Pyris raised his hand, and the world responded. The ground trembled, the sky darkened, and the air itself seemed to bend to his will. The creature lunged, but Pyris was faster. His body moved like a blur, dodging the creature's massive fists with a grace that defied belief.

With a roar of his own, Pyris unleashed his full power.

Golden lightning, fire, wind, and water—each element surged around him in a chaotic dance. The sheer force of it tore through the earth, ripping apart trees and sending shockwaves through the forest.

"Gold lightning, again? That lost element, I thought it was a trick the other time?" Zara gasped.

Pyris moved with a fluidity that made it look effortless, his body glowing with the energy of the elements.

With a single, devastating strike, Pyris sent a bolt of pure elemental energy crashing into the creature. The impact was so powerful that the air itself seemed to scream in protest. The creature howled in agony, its massive form disintegrating under the force of Pyris' attack, until nothing remained but ashes.

Zara, stared in disbelief. Her body trembled, her breath coming in shallow gasps as she watched the impossible unfold before her eyes.

"That... was impossible," she whispered.

But it wasn't. Pyris stood tall, his body brimming with power, his eyes gleaming with victory. He turned toward Zara, his voice calm but commanding.

"Is that all?"

With the challenge completed, Zara was left speechless. The witch who had been so certain of her control now found herself questioning everything she thought she knew. The Elemental Sovereign's Aura had intrigued her—and now, more than ever, she wanted access to that power.

Pyris proved once again that there was no challenge too great for his ever-growing might.

And he was becoming successful in trapping her, he'd used his elements for a reason!
