Chapter 448 - Overcoming The Stagnation.



The fight did not take long at all and with Vihaan mostly being the one that got hit by the Antonov brothers while Hal remained unscathed,  Boryan and Cheslav\'s defeat was relatively easy.

The fight gave Vihaan a hard dose of reality on what being branded by Hal really meant in the sense that even in attacks Hal could avoid, Hal would remain in place and leave the responsibility of remaining safe in the hands of Vihaan who would usually put himself in-between Hal and his attacker.

Such that at the end of it all, he was just as injured as the Antonov brothers but this time he took a mending pill he had inside his spatial ring so he would be strong to return to his residence right as Hal left the scene without another look back.

There was no point in staying.

Of course, he made sure to take advantage of having the Antonov brothers beaten down to unconsciousness by branding them with the Devil mark.

He mostly did it because it would be pointless not to.

It was already late at night and about time he went over to his ladies who he knew were waiting patiently for his arrival.

When he got to Emily and Amelia\'s joint residence, Emily, Amelia, Rita, and Karmen were there and cross-legged as they cultivated to while away the time to his return which from the moans they had heard gave them a gist of why it was taking him so long.

The moment he entered the room, their eyes opened and they looked at him and before he could even say a word, Emily opened a portal to the Harem space which they were able to do as long as they were close to him and pushed him through it with the others following close behind.

The pleasures that would last for many hours in the Time warped Mansion began at the pool where they all took off their clothes as well as Hal\'s and washed up while things got steamy pretty quickly.

Soon, Hal retrieved the Primal fruit from his inventory and began chowing down on it.

He ate most of the fruit but left a sizeable piece uneaten which he sent back to his Inventory to be used when he reunited with Melinda in the Silva Duchy capital.

He felt the effects soon enough with his cock getting as hard as it possibly could and the Orgy began.

... 

Many hours later,

The Orgy finally ended with the last of the ladies in the Mansion slumping off into blissful slumber.

The Primal fruit had had even more of an effect on him than normal which was because even without it, he already had a practically insatiable sex drive which it doubled and nearly tripled.

Hal sighed with satisfaction as his cock finally softened and he left the Orgy hall to go to his room in the Mansion where he sat cross-legged and began refining all the essence he had gotten in this orgy as well as the one with the Antonov sisters and Delaney.

Thanks to the Primal fruit, the essence he had reaped from the ladies after he ate it and the essence he had dumped inside them had been enhanced beyond belief and even before Hal was done refining it all, he already broke through the mid-stage of the cosmic phenomenon realm to the late stage.

He had finally crossed the stagnation and still had a lot of essence to refine and progress even more.

Of course, because he had crossed this stagnation did not make him complacent as he knew there were more to come as cultivation would only get more strenuous the stronger he got.

He was already breaking normal rules with this level of advancement at his age.

He feared that when the next stagnation would come, he would be forced to cultivate for a century before crossing that realm.

It would still be quick and a speed many would akin to monstrous but it would not satisfy him.

He needed a Time warping Array that would warp time more than the ten times he had right now.

However, Grimoire insisted that was the only rate of warping in its pages which Hal could purchase at the moment.

Attempting to draw one himself was out of the question as he was far from strong enough, cultivation or Astral sense wise.

Speaking of which, he would do well to spare some time to refine his Astral sense and get to the Fifth rank as soon as he could.

Then there was the Ordinance of fire he had still not been able to comprehend.

The annoying part was that he actually felt an affinity with the Ordinance.

There was just something stopping his Comprehension.

Something he could not quite put his finger on.

Eventually, he sighed and returned his focus to his cultivation.

...

It was late afternoon in the outside world and Hal was still in the Harem space and had only just completed the refining of all the essence he had inside him.

And with it, he successfully broke through to the peak stage of the Cosmic phenomenon realm but was far from being ready to attempt a breakthrough to the Cosmic Aurora realm and wondered if the piece of fruit with him would be enough to advance.

Although he doubted it. 

He stood from the bed and cracked his stiff muscles from sitting in one place for so long before spreading his senses about the Mansion to see that everyone was awake and refining the essence they had gotten.

Those already facing starvation could see hope to overcome it and were working diligently.

Since they were clearly still going to be at it for much longer, Hal took a soak in the pool and freshened up before he left the Harem space.

He could only imagine how impatient Ehrlich was right now and while it was definitely amusing, he decided he might as well end his misery.

-

"Where the hell have you been?!" 

The moment Hal entered Roxy\'s shop, Ehrlich was in his face yelling at him.

Hal rolled his eyes at him, 

"Get away from me, will you?" He said and took a step back before withdrawing the map from his Inventory.

With the map in view, Ehrlich paused and his expression became serious reverence.

He might not know what the map led to but he had seen how much the princess wanted to get her hands on it and that told him it was very important.

He took the map from Hal and tossed a spatial pouch to him which Hal collected to inspect and saw it contained 150,000 Blue gems.

A smaller amount to what he had gotten for his first mission in Black lagoon but his reward back then had been that high due to circumstances and Tanya herself had said it would not be a regular occurrence.

"Hold out your merit token" Ehrlich said and when Hal did so, he clinked it with a token he had retrieved from his spatial ring.

Following the clinking came an addition of 600 merit points to the 1000 already on the Token.

Inwardly, Hal rolled his eyes at the small increase,

\'Typical\' he thought just as Ehrlich put the map in his spatial ring and walked to the door, 

"That concludes our business for now" he said while pulling the door open but before he could walk out of it, Hal called to him, 

"Hey Ehrlich, I\'d like to speak to the Princess"

Ehrlich sneered, 

"For what? To ask where the map leads to?" He asked.

Hal shrugged, 

"Maybe" he said.

"Her highness is busy. When she requires your services, SHE will contact you. Until then, go back to what you do.... Whatever that is" Ehrlich said and chuckled before closing the door behind himself.
