Chapter 286
The referee fell silent. The rules had only set a lower level limit, not an upper one. That small technicality meant Vel could still step into the arena if she chose. The crowd murmured, but no one dared challenge it outright.
Vel strode forward with purpose, her golden sword gleaming under the harsh lights of the arena. She stopped right in front of Neo, her posture straight and commanding. "There is no rule against me joining my own competition," she declared, voice steady and laced with authority.
Neo gave a short nod, his heart pounding. They stood facing each other now, two warriors locked in a deadly standoff. The referee began the countdown. "Three..."
Neo’s mind raced at full speed. The second those three seconds ended, he would be dead if he didn’t do something. He had faced tough opponents before, but Vel was on another level—fast, powerful, and clearly out for blood.
"Two..."
In what felt like slow motion, Neo watched her hand move. She pulled her sword from its sheath with smooth precision. Then she lifted it high overhead. Golden mana flared around the blade, crackling with raw power that made the air hum.
Neo’s eyes widened. That mana... it felt familiar. Maybe he could use it against her. He drew his own sword quickly and coated it with his holy pyro mana. The flames danced along the edge, golden and fierce, mirroring hers almost perfectly. The two blades looked like twins under the arena lights.
He reached out mentally to the system. "Is she a fire holder?" he asked in his thoughts, following a strong hunch.
The system responded immediately. "She is. She holds the holy fire version of this world."
Neo nodded to himself. He focused, sending a thin mana thread snaking toward her core before she could react. Then he pushed a wave of his own holy fire through it, letting her sense exactly what he carried.
Vel’s eyes widened in pure shock. For the first time in her life, she felt another fire bearer’s power connect with hers. She had spent years searching desperately for someone like this. Her curse was brutal—the holy fire inside her would slowly eat her alive from the inside if she didn’t find a compatible bearer soon. The only way to calm it, to survive, was through deep, intimate contact: sex that would let him absorb and stabilize her flames.
Her grip on the sword loosened just a fraction. Kill him? He was her ticket to living. Nana liked him too, and so did her sister in her own complicated way. Vel paused, mind working fast. Maybe she could use Neo first, drain what she needed, and deal with the rest later.
Neo kept his gaze locked on her, wondering why she had stopped. The tension between them thickened. The crowd held its breath.
Then Vel raised her hand toward the referee, signaling a pause. She walked to the center of the arena with confident steps. In a blink, she snapped right next to him. Before Neo could pull away, she grabbed his hand firmly. The world twisted around them in a rush of magic, and they teleported straight into a secluded cell prison deep within the complex.
She shoved him hard, sending him stumbling to the cold stone floor. Without hesitation, Vel began stripping off her armor piece by piece. Then her underclothes followed until she stood completely naked before him.
Neo took her in. She shared the queen’s striking features but looked younger, fiercer. Her breasts were even larger, full and heavy, with dark nipples already tightening in the cool air. Her ass was bigger too—round, firm, and powerfully shaped from years of training. Glowing yellow fire markings covered her entire body like living tattoos, tracing her curves and highlighting every dip and swell. They pulsed faintly, a visible sign of the curse burning inside her.
She pointed at the markings. "We are going to have sex now," she said flatly. "And you will take my curse."
Neo nodded. He preferred cutting through all the fighting nonsense and bullshit anyway. But looking into her eyes, he saw a practical, no-nonsense woman staring back. She didn’t say it, but he knew—she planned to kill him right after. Still, he had survived worse situations by thinking on his feet.
After a long moment of charged silence, Neo spoke. "Alright."
He stripped off every piece of his clothing, standing naked before her. His body was built like a warrior’s—broad shoulders tapering to a powerful chest, thick muscled arms, and strong, defined legs that spoke of relentless training. His cock stood hard and ready, a full fourteen inches of thick, veined manhood that throbbed with need.
Vel’s eyes widened just slightly at the sight, taking in his impressive size and masculine form. She quickly schooled her expression back to neutral. "Alright. Lay on your back."
Neo shook his head, a cocky grin spreading across his face. He wagged a finger. "First, do some jumping jacks right in front of me, totally naked. Then give me a lap dance while I bury my dick between your fat ass cheeks."
Vel’s face exploded with anger, cheeks flushing deep red. "No way," she snapped, voice sharp with indignation.
Neo’s grin only grew. "Then I’ll vanish right now, just like last time. Good luck finding another fire bearer."
She stared at him, weighing the threat. If he really disappeared like before, her chances were gone. The curse would consume her. Vel clenched her jaw, fists tight at her sides. After a heavy sigh, she started moving.
She began the jumping jacks, completely exposed. Each jump made her massive ass cheeks clap loudly against each other, the sound echoing off the prison walls. Her heavy breasts bounced and jiggled with every motion, sweat already starting to bead on her skin and make the fire markings glisten. The yellow patterns seemed to flare brighter as her body heated up. She kept going, breaths coming faster, her powerful thighs flexing with each landing.
Neo stepped closer and slapped one huge ass cheek hard. It shook and rippled from the impact, the loud smack filling the cell. Vel shot him an angry glare over her shoulder, but she didn’t stop.
"You won’t get this dick if you keep acting so haughty," Neo warned, shaking his thick cock at her teasingly.
Vel gritted her teeth in fury but stayed silent, ignoring the slaps as best she could while continuing the humiliating exercise. Her body glistened with sweat now, droplets running down between her breasts and along the curve of her waist. The fire markings pulsed in time with her movements, a constant reminder of her desperate need.
Finally, Neo held up a hand. "Alright, that’s enough."
Vel tilted her head, chest heaving. "What is it?"
He grabbed the head of his cock and pressed the warm, swollen tip right against her slick pussy lips. Without any warning, Neo gripped her tight waist with both strong hands and thrust forward hard. His massive length slid into her in one powerful stroke, burying deep until the head kissed her cervix firmly.
Vel moaned sharply in pain and surprise, her body jolting forward. Neo held her arms steady, keeping her from falling as her knees buckled. He kept pushing, inch by thick inch, stretching her walls until he was fully sheathed inside her. Her toes curled hard against the stone floor as pleasure started mixing with the initial burn. She felt every ridge and vein of his huge cock, warm and throbbing, filling her completely in a way nothing else ever had.
From Neo’s view, she looked incredible—sweat-slicked skin, those massive tits heaving with each breath, ass cheeks still red from his slaps. Her pussy gripped him like a vice, hotter and wetter than he expected. He could see her feminine body reacting, the fire markings glowing stronger where they connected.
Vel felt his manly strength behind her—the broad shoulders and muscled arms holding her in place, his powerful legs braced as he started thrusting. His body was pure power, sweat already starting to drip down his chest and mix with hers. She hated how good it felt, how his thickness stretched her trained walls to their limit.
Neo kept thrusting as best he could, deep and steady, while she grunted in pain with every push. Vel’s pussy was totally different than any woman he had ever tried. It was very tight to the point it kept clenching on him the best it could. And Neo realized this must be because she trained her legs.
