C82: Reason for Growth, Spar***

Based on his assumption, he should be around E level stats from all the monsters they have fought. He has been gaining stats due to the very same reason his team has also been growing quickly.
This is due to a small aspect of their new rings which had been enhanced by gluttony. It's a feature that only works when i'm near them. A variant ability I had discovered shortly after Antares demise and my study into longer range for gluttony. One of those tests was called the Gluttony Core. a technique to condense all the stolen stats from monsters and create a shell around it until I had gotten to pick it up. This technique had initially failed as it kept dispersing too quickly due to the lack of energy.
Yet the technique became possible once his gluttony changed. Its natural state now is to create a shell around a target. As such when he infused gluttony into their rings. It made it so that a layer of gluttony would cover my teammates' bodies whenever they activated the rings. Sure they become the primary target of the gluttony but once they began fighting with monsters, the rings would activate their real function of gathering stats to provide to the host but around 5% of the total stolen stats is lost in transition, another 5% is given to the ring host while the rest goes to him whenever he collects it.
As everyone is focused on efficiency, they haven't realized that just by holding onto a monster and not immediately killing it like they regularly do would grant them even more power. Axel wants them to figure it out themselves which is why he has been more passive in the fights. Their efficiency is also why he is under the impression that he has only gained around 500 in each stat (Early E grade).
Overall it was actually the pair of Welf and Ouka that granted him the most in terms of his own and their growth. Because they are barely standing against any single monster down here. Haruhime has to regularly buff them as well as support from either Lily, Daisy or Chigusa to finish off monsters. So until they can support, the duo are working together to support some tower shields to protect themselves as well as the group formation they had set up. The gluttony covers their shields which gradually weakens the monsters until they falter to grant the duo an opening to kill the monster or for their teammates to grant the killing blow.
The two groups had finished all the coliseum monsters and went back downstairs to the safe zone to rest up. During the whole encounter, except to kill a few of the larger groups of Loup Garou and the Peluda dragons, the Loki executives mainly let the 'Second Strings' fight the monsters. This was to help them grow so that they could either replace or take on more leadership roles. It's fairly obvious that the pink clothed elf girl, Lefiya would be a worthy substitute for the Loki familia's vice captain, 'Momma' Riveria Ljos Alf.
Axel himself is laid back as he observes the Loki familia and their operation when he spots someone glaring at him. A certain Loki amazoness who goes by the title of Crusher, Tiona Hiryute.
"Hello Tiona, it's been a while. You have been hiding in the back of your group for a while now? Did I scare you or something?" Axel casually greets the amazon who seems to have a dark look upon her chocolate colored skin.
She suddenly marches up to him and with her Ulga in one hand, she points with the other at Axel whilst declaring, "I challenge you to a fight"
Their conversation is naturally heard by others. Axel himself asks her "Are you certain? I have to be honest that unlike our last fight, I will not be defeated. There does not seem to be any chance for a draw either. " she just nods in response to his words
He gets up, towering over her, his hulking muscles on display before her. She kicks the heel of her foot against his thighs. "Get moving. I want a rematch"
"Haha, yes yes m'lady." He says and walks back up the stairs to the Coliseum. Tione, worried for her sister, followed along as well as Bete and a few from the supporters group. They all wanted to watch the show.
Axel stands opposite of Tiona who has stabbed her Urga into the ground beside her.
"You are welcome to use your full abilities. I assure you, I won't be hurt"
"Why should I use my full strength against someone who only entered level 5?" She retorts back with a huff.
"Because I am strong" He lifts his foot and stamps it down, the action simple and seemingly effortless as he creates a shockwave from the impact against the ground. The arena shakes a bit from his action and Tiona seems to frown a bit as she re-grabs her Urga, holding it horizontally beside her as she crouches down a bit.
Axel shrugs as he says, "Hajime, fight" He even goes to do a chopping action with his hand. Tiona seems to take this as a taunt as she rushes forward. Jumping a bit, she goes for a diagonal cut at Axel who in his leaning forward chopping position simply lowers himself to the ground to fully evade the strike. He lifts his palm up as if an uppercut that she is forced to block with the other half of her blade due to her falling position.
She is sent flying a bit backwards and the fight quickly devolves into Axel hopping, skipping or seemingly dancing around her moves and then blocking and countering other times. He knows from their last fight that she gets stronger the more he hits her but the thing is that he also gets stronger the more he hits. This creates a situation where he has to hold back to not hurt her.
The fight gradually grows more intense as Tiona reaches her limit but as Axel has been playful the whole time, this made the fight go on for a while and everyone left once they realized that there would be no immediate winner and that Axel was not planning to hurt Tiona. Everyone gradually left until there was only one.
BOOM
The arena shakes under Tiona's full power stomp as her urga had received a few cracks and was taken away by Tione to receive some light maintenance. They had to pay Welf to help repair them as he was the only Hephaestus blacksmith here. The Loki familia have a few craftsmen amongst them but none are blacksmiths. Especially nobody skilled enough to work on such a high quality sword. Which is why Welf was paid plenty to repair it.
Some Loki familia members would have theorized that Axel cracked the weapon on purpose but then remember that Tiona challenged Axel and not the other way around. He also damaged it with his bare fist, after a bit of questioning, they learned from Mikoto that Axel can use a sword to enhance his magic abilities and thus they are extra thankful that he didn't.
Back in the arena. Axel has once again used his palms to deflect one of Tiona's attacks but the end result sent her flying high up. Since Axel doesnt really bother to move, Tiona promptly does a heel kick downwards at him. Her attack causes a cloud of dust to rise up. When the dust settles. Tiona is stuck with her leg raised upon Axel's shoulder as his hand blocked it and now locked her down by the knee.
"Let go of me" She grumbles and punches him in the gut with a resounding quake but to no avail.
"Hmm. no. I find this position to be quite comfortable." Axel sarcastically responds as he lowers his head a bit as he says that.
This earns him a punch in the face but to the same no effect as his endurance is just so much higher than her boosted strength is. His passive nen barrier also nullifies pretty much all of her attacks. But in response to her attack, he lifts her up a tiny bit, just enough to push her back against the wall. His head hovering over hers. Her leg still stuck against his shoulder, forcing her to do full splits with her Pareo doing little to reveal her full figure in this position.
She tries to push against him but without the prerequisite level of strength, her attempts turn into little more than muscle groping.
"How do you get so strong so fast?" She suddenly asks, finding her efforts futile.
"Magic, Magic items and then the rest is just me. I'm technically half divine at this point." He fearlessly reveals to her which causes her to pause at the implication of his words. Divinity is ever so far away to any regular human and while Amazoness are quite closer to it thanks to their natural heightened strength, there has been no one who has reached the final peak. His words set off a wave of desire to reach this.
"What do I need to do to reach a similar point as you?"
"Well there are two methods. One is the Fast one which might make you feel a bit worthless with the ease of how you got it but also happy about the end result. While the other is the slow pace. Particularly more painful but the final result would be your own power." Axel grants a few options.
"What is the fast method?"
"You be mine. Here and now. We create a give and take contract where we fuck and you get personalized magic items from me. I would also grant you the knowledge of a special ability that most of my team has already learned so I know this skill can be shared."
Tiona gulps at the thought but she knows that she isn't a slut or anything like that and so asks what the second option is.
"Similar to the first but instead of focusing on items. I would have you undergo the same ritual that I underwent. Your strength would fully belong to you but it would be extremely painful. I am unsure if others can even survive this. But i'm sure I can figure out other rituals at some point which might be more compatible with you. My divinity is based around wrath and gaining power from rage. Not sure that is all that compatible with you."
"So I become your woman either way?"
"Correct"
"Can I be greedy and choose both options? Fast and slow"
Her response surprises Axel as he never considered it but he soon understands something.
"Does that mean you accept regardless" Tiona takes a deep breath to solidify her conviction and nods. Axel dips his head down and captures her lips.
"Mmmmmm" Tiona moans a little from the kiss as it was better than she expected for her first time. Axel's hands begin to stroke her body as her body is very firm thanks to her slim amazoness physique. She has already gotten a bit wet from all the sweat she has accumulated from the spar but this situation expands as Axel lifts her up so both her legs are on his shoulders. His head in between her legs with her pareo covering his head.
He is given direct access to her lovely snatch as his tongue begins to meet her clothed slit. Her body jolts and she delivers a punch to his head in response while asking with a bit of a moan, "What was that? Why did it feel so good?" She questions and as repayment for hitting him, he ignores her question and continues licking her pussy through her underwear.
She muffles her own mouth to hide her moans or lashes out against Axel for not answering her questions or just to release the ramped up energy flowing through her spine as a result of his licking.
"AAAAHHHHnnnhhhnmmmmm" Tiona suddenly releases an audible moan that she quickly tries to muffle and it becomes a low hum as Axel's face is covered in her juices as her underwear is the only protection from Axel being covered in her squirt juice. His head is a bit stuck between her legs as the orgasmic shock made her try to crush his head between her thighs. An acceptable death if it could be delivered but to Axel it could not. A true shame.
He soon drags her off of him and sets her down on the ground. She is red faced and panting a bit.
"Your turn to make me feel good." He simply tells her and she is forced to think for herself on how to make him feel good. Back in Telskyura she had been taught a bit on how to fight against a man and had learned that the stick between their leg is sensitive. Much later on she had overheard some raunchy conversation about how the 'stick' is used for pleasure and to make babies.
With an embarrassed expression, she unwraps his robes to reveal his magnum. Retrofitted to properly fit Tiona as he had taken her 'measurements' just in case this somehow had devolved into a sexual situation, which it did. Tiona looks up in amazement at his cock as it's longer and thicker than she expected. His cock almost rests on her face as she raises her arms to wrap them around his shaft.
His breath hitches a bit from the contact, this sound antagonizes Tiona as she now seeks to get more of a reaction from him just like he did from her. She sticks out her tongue to begin lapping up his cock. She is surprised by the taste and how much she actually likes it. Her actions speed up as he gives her what she wants and his moans become a bit more audible.
"Grr, Cuming" He strokes her head and she eventually takes the tip of his cock into her mouth. The stimuli proves too much and he slightly holds her head in place as his cock releases droves of seed into her mouth. He had enough manners to warn her beforehand but her actions fully surprised him as once the first load met her tongue. She shoved his cock down her mouth. But only as far as she could as her gag reflex made her unable to deepthroat, not that she wanted to anyway as she is enjoying the taste of his seed too much to miss that sensation. Her mouth overflows and she has use her hands to cover her mouth to not spill out any 'delicious' seed.
She soon gulps it all down and opens her mouth with her tongue out, as if to showcase her dedication. A fire is lit in Axels groan from the sight as he grows out, "Does my little cum drinker want more or does she want to be fucked until kingdom come?" His words make her much more wet as her underwear is already soaked and thus juices are flowing down her thighs. She ponders the appropriate answer before she grabs her Pareo and lifts it up to reveal her soggy pussy.
"I'd like a taste down here" Her words cause another small gush of liquid between her legs as she is full on red now.
Axel accepts her words and lines up his cock with her pussy. He moves aside her underwear which allows for direct contact between his cock and her pussy. He has to crouch a bit since she is only 5' 5" to his 6' 6' height. Eventually she forces a bit of his dick to enter her pussy but not all the way. It is soon pushed out by her orgasmic juices as she clenches her teeth from the high of her orgasm.
"Oooooohhhhh, gods. So full" She lets out an initial ooh moan from Axel properly inserting himself in her valley. Her hymen was long broken under the guise of training in Telskyura. She is simply very tight around his width and since it's size has been adjusted just for her. It properly fills her up to the brim . The only way it can be 'better' is if he grows thicker and long enough to enter her womb.
"Ah, agh, ah, ha, yes. Oh gods" She begins to moan more as Axel thrusts back and forth into her. He feels as if her womb would be pulled out of her pussy with how tight she is holding onto his dick. She feels much tighter than either of the Oni sisters. Though it might have been because he absolutely destroyed them with his original size while here with Tiona, he adjusted to her size properly to the point that she does not actually feel bloated.
With his current size, the nerves related to pleasure are far more concentrated and thus feels more heavenly. The duo begin a mad dash of pleasure as they change throughout various positions. Of course whenever Axel cums, he ensures to use gluttony to siphon the life force of his own seed to prevent pregnancy unless she wants it. Right now, their relationship is still relatively formal.
Their most aggressive position was a variant form of doggy and reverse cowgirl. Where Tiona lifts herself off of Axel by pushing against his knees with her feet but her short braids are gripped by Axel to pull her back down against his hips. Her belly has become a bit inflated at this point due to the amount of 'dead' seed that was shot into her from Axel's own continuous orgasms.
Tiona's facial expression has long transitioned to an 'O' face as both melt into each others pleasure. Because of this being Tiona's first time, her reaction to all this was fresh and slightly violent. It gave everyone below ground in the safe zone the impression that their battle was still on going. The distance was too wide to hear any sort of moans from either of them. As such there remain but the one witness, keeled over themselves as juices naturally flow from them onto the ground even without touching themselves.
