Three hours before the return of those who didn't want to fight to Elysium…
The sound of kissing reverberated inside the room as Cai and Lux shared passionate kisses with each other.
This was very different from the time where they were making love just for the sake of increasing their ranks before the war started.
Both of them had been through to a lot, and their relationship had only grown deeper after this incident.
Lux and Cai only realized how much they truly cared for each other, after entering the Abyss for the first time in their lives.
Knowing that her fiance would be fighting a great battle, where his safety was not guaranteed, Cai felt the strong urge to make love to him to ease both of their hearts, as they would miss each other terribly.
When their kiss ended, Cai stared at Lux lovingly before sliding his member inside of her. She didn't make any movement and simply stared at the handsome young man, whom she didn't expect would become her lifelong partner.
"You know, in the Rowan Tribe, when the men are about to go to war or fight a battle where their safety hang in the balance, they will make love with their wives or lovers to leave their descendants behind," Cai said as she wrapped her arms around Lux's neck, and stared at him intently. "I wish I could have your child, Lux. But I have a feeling that you'll say that you have no intention of dying, so you won't grant my request.
"Even so, I can't help but feel anxious about the war. It will be a fight against Demigods, and even if you are a C-Ranker now, you are still an insignificant insect in their eyes. Also, the Succubi won't be fighting in this war. There are only you and the others who decided to stay."
Lux smiled and pressed his forehead on Cai's forehead.
"You want my child?" Lux asked.
"Yes," Cai replied.
Lux wrapped his arms around Cai's body, enjoying the feeling of her skin touching his own.

"Both of us still have things we need to do, and having a baby at the moment will prevent us from realizing our goals. Don't worry. I promise you that no matter what happens, I will return to you. Master will also be there, so if I really kick the bucket, I'm sure that he will think of something."
Cai then pulled back her head before pounding Lux's chest repeatedly with her clenched fist.
"Not funny," Cai said. "I want you alive. Iris will want you alive as well."
"I'm a Necromancer," Lux commented. "It will take more than killing me to kill me. Besides, the readers always say I have plot armor. Maybe that's true?"
Cai shook her head helplessly because she felt that Lux was just doing his best to assure her that everything is going to be okay.
"I'm serious," Cai stated. "I want your baby."
"And I will give it to you after two or three years," Lux replied. "Even the end of the world will not stop me from making you conceive with my child. I'm sure that my daughter will be as beautiful as you."
"And what if it's a boy?" Cai inquired with amusement.
"What else?" Lux winked. "He will be just as handsome as me."
The High Priestess of the Rowan Tribe wasn't able to stop the giggle that bubbled inside her chest.
Lux's words were firm and carried a determination. It left Cai with no choice but to believe in him.
"Okay," Cai said softly. "Two to three years from now, I will conceive your child. Don't get cold feet when that time comes, okay?"
"I won't," Lux said as he placed his hands on his fiance's waist.
Cai smiled and started to move her hips while wrapping her hands on the handsome teenager's neck, who promised to give her his child a few years from now.

A few hours laters…
"Are all of you ready?" Lux asked the people who were now about to return to Elysium.
"Yes," Alicia answered. "But before we go, wear this, Lux."
Alicia handed Lux a necklace that would allow them to see everything around him. Although they couldn't be with him in the war that was about to take place, they would be with him in spirit.
Lux accepted the necklace and wore it.
He then handed Alicia a white marble, which would take everyone back to Elysium.
"Don't forget to inform my Master of the situation here, Alicia," Lux stated. "I will need all the help I can get."
"I will," Alicia replied before hugging Lux . "Be safe and don't die."
"Yes, Ma'am." Lux returned Alicia's hug and let her go after a few seconds.
After saying their final goodbyes, Lux, and the others backed away, keeping a safe distance from the others who would return to Elysium.
Cai waved at her fiance, and Lux waved back at her. They had already told each other what they wanted to say when the two of them were making love with each other, so there was no need to say anything else.
"Let's go," Alicia announced before activating the white marble in her hand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmImmediately, a black hole appeared above their heads and sucked all of them inside it almost instantly.
Lux, Xander, Malcolm, and the rest of the men watched the ladies go from a safe distance.
All of them had decided to stay and fight for reasons only known to them.
A minute after Cai, Alicia, and Henrietta returned to Elysium, the Satyrs led by Ampelos appeared in front of Lux and the others.
"I find it quite ironic that all of us will be fighting side by side in this war right after we fought each other," Ampelos said. "Do you share the same feelings?"
Malcolm, Xander, and the rest of the men, with the exception of Lux, glared at the hateful Satyr.
They still hadn't forgotten what these monsters had done to them, and just seeing them made their hearts burn in anger.
Ampelos wasn't fazed by the looks of hatred that the humans were giving him.
Instead, he looked at the Half-Elf, whom he secretly admired after seeing his fight against the Succubus Queen back in the Dark Forest.
"I just want to ask you one thing," Ampelos stated. "Do we have a chance to win?"
"I don't know," Lux replied. "But I have no intention of dying."
"Sounds good enough to me," Ampelos laughed. Just like Lux, he didn't know whether they could win the upcoming war.
However, he also had no intention of dying, especially after meeting his father after not seeing each other for a century.
He had so many questions to ask him, and he wanted to see him again.
Ampelos believed that as long as Lux was in the Abyss, his Master, Gaap, would come to find him and allow him to talk to his father, once again.
