Chapter 80 - The Real Party Begins

There's a thing called [Zero Delicacy]

After Draxus had stopped Audrey's rampage and repaired Jay's body with the [Lovers] card, he was forced into bed with both Olivia and Gwen watching him once again. A day had already passed as both Audrey and Jay came to visit to apologize to him.

""We're greatly sorry for causing you a major problem!!"" Draxus simply laughed as the two were synchronized on their apologies. "No no, it's fine like I told you two. By the way, how was your injuries Jay?" Jay touched the graze and the pierced area which was recovered almost instantly. "I have to say, your [Lovers] card is really powerful... Audrey's [Sanguine Magic] is also really great for helping me recover back fully by replacing the blood." Draxus noticed a slight detail as Audrey was holding the bottom part of her stomach while her other hand was pinching Jay's shirt. She was trying to support herself from standing which garnered a suspicious gaze on Draxus. "By chance, have you two done it?" Both Jay and Audrey ended up blushing hard as they heard Draxus let out that question without control of himself. He then simply laughed it off as if he got his answer. "Jay, take care of her alright? We may be not blood related but I see Audrey as a younger sister. Hurt her and you'll be punished by me." Jay turned his expression to a serious one and nodded in response. They then left the room afterwards which led to Olivia and Gwen interrogating Draxus. "Hey Drax, what do you mean about the two of them doing it?" Olivia and Gwen were curious as to what Draxus noticed. "You mean sex?"

Once again, there's a thing called [Zero Delicacy].

Both Olivia and Gwen instantly blushed after Olivia's question has been answered with zero delicacy. Draxus tilted his head as if he just answered a basic question without even caring what he just said. Gwen then further pushed the question while blushing a deep red color. "H-Have you done it before?" Draxus finally realized the line of questions and instantly blushed following Olivia and Gwen. He tried to answer but no words could ever come out of his mouth. He simply decided to nod as an answer. He was then interrogated on who he has done it with, making him bring up past stories which somewhat bothered him. "Ahh... It was someone that broke up with me in the end, so there's no need to worry." Olivia then realized the words Serkyrio said during the time he checked on Draxus. "That's why be careful when he does invite you to his room huh...? D-Did you have plans to go up the stairs with us soon?!" Draxus's face instantly flushed in shame as he denied it with all his might. But in the end, he couldn't win and answered honestly while looking away. "A little bit... Yeah..." The atmosphere became extremely awkward until a few hours had passed.

The mission begins in the evening where Draxus finally managed to fully recover. Gwen tried to stay with him but was called out by the pope in preparation for the celebration of her birthday. Draxus and Olivia were playing some card games with the rest of the party in his room out of boredom. They waited for Gwen to return while Draxus activated his resonance on his headset. He let out a small voice while thinking about his ideas out loud. "Maybe I need to create a new headset..." His headset was slightly damaged while shutting down Audrey which he tends to be unforgiving when it comes to damaging his headset. But seeing what happened, he simply shrugged his shoulders as if it couldn't be helped. "Drax, are you okay?" Olivia turned her gaze to Draxus who was taking too long on his turn. He twitched in response before checking the previous move quickly. "Ah! My bad, it's just hard to concentrate without a headset after all." Audrey shivered slightly which got her terrified as she immediately knew that Draxus tends to get pissed when given gifts to him are damaged by somebody else. Draxus noticed that apologetic behavior on Audrey and simply gave a wry smile. "Don't worry about it, I was thinking of starting to make various headsets sooner or later. So I'm just gonna be keeping this as a relic of my past." Draxus caressed the headset one last time as the microphone jack was pretty much removed from its spot. "I can still use this one last time for resonance or so, but I can't communicate with it without the mic." Draxus sighed as he took one good view of the headset. "It's better to just place it somewhere in my storage and then move on afterwards huh? Besides, if I continue to use this I look like I'm still stuck on my past." Pauleen and Juniper already knew what happened to Draxus because the person who was deeply connected to Draxus, and the ones who turned him into a painful mess was good friends with them. However, they understood boundaries or so and didn't bother to bring it up once more just to hurt him. Olivia wished to know more but Draxus simply avoided it by saying: "I'll tell the story when the time comes..." They continued their game with Draxus getting a few close calls but zero losses throughout their entire wait. It was then the a nun rushed to his room to alert him with something. "Honored Sentinels!! T-The Pope and Deaconess...! The Pope and Deaconess are...!" The nun caught her breath once again in panic as Draxus began a widespread resonance as the barrier was broken. "They're in the cathedr- Axel is in there!!" After Draxus noticed the presence of Axel inside the cathedral, the nun continued her words. "They have been ambushed by the hero and a priest!" Audrey's eyes widened in anger as she immediately stood up. "Where is he!? The one who hurt Jay!?" Jay stood up and calmed her down before reminding her that the person who jousted him had already left the continent. Draxus then recognized that the magic flowing around the cathedral is related to time. "The main culprit is in the cathedral huh...? Everyone, let's pay the culprit a visit."

The party immediately rushed to the back of the cathedral as they checked the time. It was around nine-thirty in the evening and they immediately saw Gwen who was tied up on a table that was shaped like a cross. "Greetings!" A voice welcomed them from the middle of the podium. A person with battle clothing appeared carrying a Zweihander and a dirk on different hands. Beside him, was Axel staring at Gwen with lustful eyes. Draxus immediately cracked upon seeing that expression as they looked at the seats in the cathedral. All of which were filled with men in varying ages, causing Draxus to click his tongue. "Bastards, you went ahead and began the initiation of the ceremony huh?!" Draxus brought out a single tarot card and shouted angrily at the person. "Quite a threatening greeting there Kingfisher, I honestly thought that you would be to perform diplomacy perfectly. Forget it, my name is Cronus, I am behind this entire incident. You wish to enjoy your life with the Deaconess here into your harem but, looks like I will have her defiled by my young hero here." Gwen shouted as she finally woke up from the noise. "Drax!! Help me!!!" Draxus stepped forward and noticed all the gazes of the men inside the cathedral. All of them poured killing intent which is problematic as he cannot kill civilians. He simply muttered under his breath to the point where it's only audible to the party. "Maria, anti-brainwashing magic, widespread... Audrey and Jay will protect you." Audrey tried to complain but decided not to after receiving Draxus's full killing intent for attempting to defy orders. "Don't screw up my plans Audrey, that guy will kill you in a split second if you push your stupidity here." Draxus continued gritting his teeth while keeping an eye on Cronus. "Have nothing to say? Then, will you begin the ritual Axel?" Draxus then picked up something inside his jacket and threw it straight forward. Axel dodged the nails that were thrown and was barely able to dodge a prediction attack by Draxus's ice spikes from weird angles. "Olivia, that hero's sword cannot be blocked once ascended, I'll leave Gwen's protection to you, Pauleen, and Juniper." Draxus hid the tarot card in a different pocket as if preparing his trump card. He then unsheathed the katana and sword as he created a path that will allow him to reach Gwen with ice. Cronus simply allowed it to happen with a smile as the three girls untied Gwen with Draxus moving to protect them from harm. "Go!" The three immediately left while Audrey, Jay, and Maria left the building to head to the highest point and begin the anti-brainwashing. Draxus tried to stop Axel from following the girls but he was stopped by Cronus's Zweihander. "Oh no you don't, you're going to be stuck here with me. Welcome to your new graveyard Prince of Despair!" Draxus smiled as he formed a stance after distancing himself. "I'll make you bite the dust! Cunt!"
