MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

Chapter 329 329: Pervy Sage (Jiraiyaʼs Brother?)

Two figures, one male and one female, stood facing each other in the boundless sky.

A profound tranquility radiated from their very essence, an unspoken stillness settling between them as their gazes met.

No trace of hostility flickered in their eyes, no murderous intent disturbed the serenity of the moment.

Suspended in the heavens, they remained motionless, a silent equilibrium binding them in quiet acknowledgment.

The woman hovered effortlessly, her crimson hair flowing in perfect harmony with the whispering winds that coiled around her.

Each strand moved like a flame caught in an unseen dance, accentuating the ethereal beauty she possessed.

Her face, sculpted with near-perfection, bore striking symmetry, every contour a masterpiece.

Long, delicate lashes framed her captivating blue sapphire eyes, which shimmered with an allure that seemed almost otherworldly.

Her figure was the very embodiment of seduction, every curve meticulously defined.

A slender waist only heightened the intoxicating appeal of her hourglass silhouette, a vision so mesmerizing it defied mere mortal standards.

Her beauty was beyond measure, an enchantment woven into reality itself.

Her name—Mitchelle Crimson.

Opposite her, a man floated in serene stillness, an air of profound wisdom woven into his very presence.

Upon his forehead, a crescent moon shimmered faintly, an eternal mark of his lineage, the Eclipsian race.

Everything about him exuded the essence of a sage, as though he were a being untethered from time itself.

His flowing white hair cascaded past his shoulders, a stark contrast to his aged yet dignified features.

Though his visage bore the wear of six decades, his lifespan stretched far beyond the boundaries of human reason

His eyes, deep and knowing, held the weight of countless ages, as if they had witnessed the birth of the cosmos, the fall of civilizations, and the cycle of rebirth itself.

His name—Azarion Starweaver.

Upon each of his ten fingers rested an ornate ring, every one distinct yet seamlessly complementing the intricate patterns of his flowing robes.

Each ring pulsed with an aura of arcane mystery, as if they carried fragments of forgotten power from ages past.

But—

Despite his sage-like presence, the words that slipped from his lips were anything but enlightened.

”You are indeed very beautiful for a lower race”

Azarion mused, his tone carrying the weight of self-assured superiority.

”I shall grant you the greatest blessing of joining my harem… and the singular honor of being the first human within it”

His proclamation hung in the air, a stark contrast to the celestial wisdom he seemed to embody.

Yet Mitchelle offered no immediate reply.

She neither flinched nor reacted.

She simply gazed forward, her expression unreadable, her silence heavier than any spoken word.

Once, Mitchelleʼs beauty could not have rivaled that of the highest races of her world, those born of noble blood, like Dragons and Elves.

But that had changed.

After consuming the mystical fruit Anthony had bestowed upon his family, her allure had ascended to an entirely new realm.

Her beauty was no longer just remarkable, it was transcendent.

Even Michael, her own husband, had been utterly entranced upon seeing her again.

Overcome with desire, he had devoted himself tirelessly to their nights for an entire week, determined to embrace this newfound splendor.

Yet, despite his efforts, fate had refused to grant Anthony a sibling.

Then, with a smile as radiant as the stars, Mitchelle finally broke her silence.

”Iʼm sorry, but I must decline”

She said, her voice carrying a playful lilt.

”You see, Iʼm already married”

A brief pause.

”But”

She continued, her blue eyes gleaming with mischief

”If you can kill my husband… I suppose I would be yours”

A soft chuckle escaped her lips, light and melodic, as if she had merely jested.

”It doesnʼt matter”

Azarion spoke, his tone utterly indifferent.

”You and your husband can both join in. If youʼd like, you can even add your champion, Anthony. Iʼm cool with whatever”

These words, so absurdly unsage-like, flowed effortlessly from the lips of the supposedly enlightened Azarion, shattering the dignified image his presence once commanded.

For a moment, Mitchelle remained still.

Her face, once unreadable, subtly shifted.

It wasnʼt the mention of Michael that stirred her. She cared little for that.

But Anthony?

The moment his name was dragged into Azarionʼs self-indulgent fantasy, something within her snapped.

A pulse of golden light burst from her chest, illuminating the sky in a divine radiance.

It flickered, expanded, then coalesced into a shimmering grimoire, a tome of unparalleled majesty.

Its cover gleamed like sacred metal, a five-leaf clover boldly etched upon its surface, pulsing with intense power.

With a brilliant flash, the golden grimoire snapped open.

Its pages flared to life, flipping rapidly as if guided by an unseen force, stopping only when it reached a page adorned with strange, unrecognizable script, words woven from a language lost to time itself.

Azarionʼs lips curled into an amused smirk as he observed.

”Hooo… quite the artifact you have there”

He mused, his voice carrying neither urgency nor concern.

But Mitchelle did not grace him with a response.

Instead, her fingers moved in a fluid motion, tracing the air with an almost divine grace as she cast her spell.

[Solar Magic: Helios Cataclysm]

A surge of mana erupted from the depths of her core, an overwhelming force that sent the very fabric of space into violent tremors.

Then—heat.

Maddening, all-consuming heat roared into existence, swallowing the world in its furious embrace.

The sky turned crimson, its very essence bending under the presence of an artificial sun, one so vast and terrible that the original celestial body above paled in comparison.

And then, it detonated.

A tidal wave of devastation burst forth, an inferno so absolute that existence itself seemed to wail in protest.

It devoured everything.

Trees. Reduced to drifting embers.

Stone. Melted into rivers of liquid fire.

Air. Ignited into an atmosphere of pure flame.

Space. Distorted, fractured beneath the unbearable force.

Life. Erased as if it had never been.

Even the planet trembled on the edge of annihilation, its very being unable to withstand the magnitude of her wrath.

This was not mere destruction.

This was cataclysm.

But Azarion merely sighed, lifting a hand with effortless grace.

With a single motion, he conjured his own spell, a response as casual as it was absolute.

[Water Magic: Celestial Deluge]

The heavens, moments away from liquefying under Mitchelleʼs searing wrath, trembled under a new dominion.

From above, water descended, not as mere rain, but as an omnipotent flood, a celestial force that engulfed everything in its boundless embrace.

This was no ordinary water.

It was an existence beyond the element itself, infused with something divine, something primordial.

It did not merely extinguish the flames, it overrode them, as though dictating that heat, destruction, and chaos no longer had the right to exist.

The world, on the verge of devastation, was spared in an instant.

Not through struggle.

Not through effort.

But through dominance.

”Since you have such an affection for the sun”

Azarion mused, his voice carrying an air of divine amusement.

”Allow me to bless you with one of my own”

Without hesitation, he moved, no incantation, no preparation, only sheer, instantaneous execution.

[Solar Magic: Wrath Of The Sun King]

The barely stabilized space convulsed once more, as if reality itself recoiled in fear of what was to come.

Then—it appeared.

A colossal being, its entire form sculpted from pure, unbridled solar energy, took shape above them.

Its presence was overwhelming, its radiance far surpassing that of any natural star.

The entity raised a single hand toward the void above, its movements slow, deliberate, almost ritualistic.

Then, it brought its hand down.

In response, the heavens answered.

Blazing spheres of solar destruction, each one surpassing the brilliance of the original sun, materialized in an instant.

They did not merely shine; they dominated, casting their unyielding light across the void.

And then—they fell.

One after another, they rained upon the world below, their descent like the decree of an ancient god, unchallengeable and absolute.

This time, the planet could not endure.

No resistance. No reprieve.

The very core of the world ignited, then combusted.

Land, sea, sky, all were reduced to nothing.

In a mere moment, the planet ceased to exist.

The pages of Mitchelleʼs grimoire fluttered once more, glowing with an ethereal radiance as she cast her next spell, this time, with a knowing smirk.

[Water Magic: Leviathanʼs Veil]

In an instant, a celestial barrier of pristine water materialized around her, forming an impenetrable shield.

The raging chaos unleashed by Azarion crashed against it, but not a single ember breached its surface.

Unlike Azarion, she made no effort to nullify the attacks that never reached her.

She didnʼt concern herself with erasing the destruction, only ensuring that none of it touched her.

She merely defended, effortlessly, against what mattered.

As the fumes and lingering devastation cleared, both figures emerged, standing exactly where they had been, untouched by the cataclysmic forces they had exchanged.

Neither bore a single wound.

Both had countered the otherʼs magic with the same element, showcasing not just their power, but their absolute mastery.

”Hmmm… It seems you are quite capable for a human”

Azarion mused, though a flicker of surprise crossed his features.

He hadnʼt expected Mitchelle to withstand his assault so effortlessly.

But rather than deter him, it only amused him further.

”I expect nothing less from my woman. Now… let me see how good you truly are”

A smirk tugged at his lips as he lifted his hand, channeling magic through one of the ten rings adorning his fingers.

[Wind Magic: Howl Of The World Ender]

A pulse of mana erupted, surging from the enchanted ring with an intensity that warped space itself.

Then—the howling began.

From nothingness, the wind materialized, not as a gentle breeze but as a force of absolute destruction.

The air twisted and raged, coalescing into massive, curved arcs of wind, each one vibrating with an unfathomable power, each one pulsing with an intent that spoke of endings.

And then—they struck.

With blinding speed, the arcs flashed forward toward Mitchelle, severing the very fabric of reality in their wake.

Michelle didnʼt block this time.

She simply vanished, a radiant flash of light swallowing her form before the deadly arcs could reach her.

The wind constructs, however, did not halt.

They pursued.

Each arc, carrying the might to sever existence itself, tore through the cosmos, slicing effortlessly through planets as if they were nothing more than fragile glass.

Entire celestial bodies, vast, ancient, and unyielding, were bisected in an instant, their remnants dissolving into the void.

Annihilation followed in their wake.

Yet, despite their relentless chase, Mitchelle remained untouchable.

She flickered through space, moving with an ethereal grace that defied reason.

Each time the arcs closed in, she was already gone, too fast, too precise, too untouchable.

Her speed transcended the limits of human understanding.

Too fast to be caught.

Azarion watched intently as Mitchelle wove through his attacks with the precision of a seasoned warrior.

A smile tugged at his lips.

The thought of making her submit under his might sent a thrill through him.

But more than that, the idea of tasting his first human pussy ignited something deeper.

The thought of her lips, her legs, her very essence surrendering to him made his hunger grow.

With that in mind, he funneled even more mana into his attack, determined to break her mind, body, and soul.

As his thoughts ran wild, Mitchelle suddenly vanished.

ʼSpace movementʼ

Azarionʼs mind sharpened as he sensed the subtle distortion in space left in her wake.

He didnʼt hesitate, instinct dictated action.

He immediately shifted into defense.

Runes materialized in an instant, glowing with an ancient radiance as they arranged themselves into a complex formation.

Each symbol pulsed with power, weaving together seamlessly into an impenetrable barrier.

Yet, he did not turn.

There was no need.

Most who used spatial movement teleported behind their target.

It was an ingrained habit, a common tactic, one he had seen countless times before.

And so, his defenses focused solely behind him.

He was ready.

But—

He was dead wrong.

The attack never came.

Rather—

It came, but not from the direction he had predicted.

It came from below.

Mitchelle had predicted his prediction.

She knew he would expect an attack from behind.

She knew he would reinforce that position.

So she struck where he least expected.

[Light Magic: Life Annihilation]

Her outstretched palm shone with terrifying brilliance as her grimoire stopped shuffling.

A blinding beam of absolute devastation erupted forth, racing toward Azarion with an intent that transcended mere destruction.

This was not just an attack, it was erasure.

Azarionʼs gaze snapped downward as he felt it, the shift in mana, the tremor in space, the overwhelming surge of light.

His reaction was instantaneous.

Even though his mind was consumed by depraved fantasies, it did not mean his guard was down.

His voice boomed across the galaxy.

[Dark-Water Magic: Abyssal Eclipse Bastion]

The elements of water and darkness intertwined in a perfect equilibrium, forming an imposing shield, a defense not of mere resistance but of consumption.

It did not just block.

It devoured.

And then—impact.

The result?

RUINOUS.

Mitchelleʼs divine light and Azarionʼs abyssal shield clashed.

A cataclysmic eruption of opposing forces surged outward, each refusing to yield, each seeking to dominate.

Light and darkness raged, their energies coiling and writhing like primordial serpents locked in an eternal struggle.

Celestial bodies, planets, moons, entire star systems, collapsed under the sheer magnitude of their battle.

Space itself warped and shattered, unable to contain the sheer scale of devastation.

Existence trembled.

Under their might, everything bowed.
