Angel Monarch-Chapter 530: Preparations Underway

After laying the foundation, Sera slept for an entire day. Bea kept feeding her Essence, which greatly helped in her recovery. However, even after awakening, she still needed time to regain her strength.

She spent another day in bed. Bea stayed by her side, as did Nick and consequently Jo. Vicky also visited often, but since her presence was irreplaceable, she continued opening portals from Sera's bedroom.

While Sera tried regenerating all her strength, the Colosseum's construction continued uninterrupted. Mary and James got the Aegis System generator online, so the entire valley was under its protection.

The generator also provided power to the systems, which will broadcast the tournament all over the globe. As for energy, Bea grew a smaller Tree of Light near the Colosseum's foundation.

When Sera finally recovered, she went back and continued the construction process. A minute of immense Essence usage later, she passed out again.

This cycle of overexertion, passing out, waking up and recovering repeated itself for two weeks. However, eventually, she finished with the gigantic, sturdy structure's construction.

The Colosseum itself wasn't anything too special...

It was an enormous circle, with walls rising about two dozen meters above the fighting area. There were multiple rows of seats, each higher than the last. Two main entrances led inside the arena, while various giant gates led up to the seating area.

The design itself wasn't complicated, but the material that Sera used for construction needed to be extremely robust. It needed to withstand the attacks of Stellars, and since the entire Colosseum was massive, she used lots of it.

Luckily, after the construction part of the job ended, she could take a well-deserved break.

She spent more time with Nick and Jo, by taking them to enrichment activities all across New Athens, London and Buda-pest. Bea also attended these activities with Sera, and they grew much closer during this time.

Sera also planned the special date they'd talked about, but she still needed some time to make everything perfect. However, time wasn't an issue...

When the Colosseum's construction finished, Sera and a few others attended another meeting. This time, Odin arrived with Freyja, since he needed to write millions of Runes across the arena's entire surface.

They discussed the tournament's timetable with the Allfather and reached the conclusion that it'll only be held in early Autumn. About two or three months from now.

This meant Odin could take his time in writing the Runes. James could spend a few weeks working on the Colosseum's wiring. Tyr can write his Contracts in peace. And Loki can dupe everyone into participating in the tournament.

Then, there was the plan of making Bea stronger, which would increase Sera's fighting potential by a wide margin. It would also help the others in their own fights.

So, after taking a ten-day break, it was time to plan an expedition to North America...

"We'll hunt down Yggdrasil!" declared Sera to her gathered friends. Blank expressions covered most of their faces, while a select few felt shocked upon hearing her words.

"Who the fuck is that?" asked Lucy, whose ears perked up after hearing the word 'hunt'.

"She was an Empyrean World Tree once, but after the Angels of Aerin captured her, the Archangel of Destruction artificially lowered her Rank to Ethereal. She then went insane while locked inside the Norse Pantheon's Pocket Realm."

Hestia's monotone voice didn't help Lucy's uncaring personality. She barely understood half of what the petite maid said. However, she still wanted to attend this hunt, so she waited silently until Hestia finished speaking.

"Okay, that's cool. When are we leaving? I've been aching for a good fight since the Wild Hunt!"

Lucy's friends stared at her with sorrowful eyes. Bea walked up to her friend and placed a hand on her shoulder. Her voice sounded melancholic as she said, "I'm sorry, Lucy. You won't be participating in this hunt..."

Her mouth fell open in shock as her eyes jumped around everyone's faces. She looked like everyone stabbed her in the back, then twisted the knife.

"What?! Why?" she demanded in anger.

"You specialize in killing creatures, but Bea needs to deliver the final blow, so she can Evolve into a Stellar. You're too powerful and can steal her kill accidentally!"

Lilith's words made perfect sense, which Lucy of course ignored...

"Bullshit! I can control my powers and won't kill the bitch! Come on, Sera, take me with you. I don't need to fight against the Abomination! I can eliminate every threat while Bea kills the thing!... Please, don't leave me behind! I'm so fucking bored here!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

It took a few minutes to convince Lucy, and eventually Will escorted her away to try calming her using a different method.

Everybody took a collective sigh of relief as the problematic battle maniac left the room.

"Okay, let's get back to the actual subject. Just like Lucy's ability, many of you aren't suited for this excursion. The ones who'll attend it with me and Bea are: Vicky, Henry, Cass, David, Astrid, Melinda, Lilith, and Hestia, but she won't fight."

Sera didn't even mention Faith, since all her friends knew that the Angel's shadow always stays by her side.

A few disappointed sighs whistled through the air, but nobody tried to argue like Lucy did. They all knew whose abilities would provide the best support against Yggdrasil, and who had a high chance of stealing the kill.

After naming everyone who'll help with the hunt, the ones who weren't part of the hunting party left. Everyone else held another smaller meeting, and then everybody went home to relax, since they'll only leave tomorrow morning.

The day went by peacefully. Damien and Agnes took Nick and Jo to visit Wien, a wonderful city-state with ample history. This left Sera and Bea with ample free time, which they used to the utmost perfection.

Not many of the mansion's residents knew, but in the enormous building's basement, they built a luxurious spa.

It had a large sauna and hot tub, both able to fit ten people at once. There were multiple massage tables. The spa also had multiple pools and a ten meter tall tower, which can be used as a jumping board.

Bea glanced around the wide space in awe, while Sera just stood in the doorway with a wide, excited grin.

"Why haven't you told me there was a spa below the mansion?" asked Bea after escaping her reverie. Sera just raised an eyebrow and giggled...

"You're horrible at keeping secrets. You would've told someone else about this spa, and now we couldn't have fun here alone."

While speaking, Sera took a few steps closer, until only centimeters separated her and Bea. She then leaned in and whispered into the magnificent woman's ear...

"Don't you want to be alone with me? In this spa? Where we don't need to wear clothes?"

Bea's face took on a deep shade of red as her heartbeat pumped faster than ever. Her breathing became wild and uneven, while her hands trembled in anticipation.

Sera leaned a few centimeters away from her partner and stared into her greenish-gold eyes. With puckered lips, she gave a quick kiss to Bea's nose, which nearly caused the magnificent woman to pass out from love and desire.

She literally needed to root her feet to the ground to prevent herself from jumping atop Sera and kissing her to death.

Luckily, the Angel took mercy on her poor soul and stopped teasing Bea until she recovered.

She immediately began plotting her revenge, and soon Bea's eyes landed on the massage tables. With an excited smile, she glanced at Sera and suggested calmly, "I think you need a massage. Don't you agree?"

Sera gulped as a hint of red appeared across her face. On shaky legs, she walked up to the wide, comfortable table, with a hole for the head.

Without a second thought, she took off her golden petal dress, and leaned face-down on the table. Bea tried to keep her eyes off of Sera's perfect body, but she couldn't help stealing glances at her naked, perky breasts.

However, Bea's torment didn't end just because Sera hid her face. The Angel's wings draped to each side, giving Bea a perfect view of the Angel's perfect, round butt.

She took a deep breath, then grabbed the lube and began the massage...

Her hands made Sera moan as they moved across her exhausted muscles. It became even worse when she reached the muscles, which connected Sera's wings to her back. That's when she began screaming with ecstasy.

It took all of Bea's willpower to massage only Sera's lower back and upper thighs. Sera would've probably let Bea touch her perfect buttocks and maybe even the area between her legs, but it wasn't time yet.

They wanted to approach this relationship slowly. This required sacrifices on both sides, so even after feeling wetness running down Sera's thighs, Bea's will stayed firm.

After the massage, Bea also got naked, and together they went for a swim in the cold pool. It cooled their rampant emotions and desires, but they then noticed how the cold affected their breasts.

They then hurried into the sauna, but the sweat dripping down their naked bodies made everything worse. Next, they ventured into the hot tub, but at this point, the damage was irreversible.

Both women hurried back to their own rooms. They spent the night alone behind locked doors, but neither slept even an hour. By morning, both women's hands were sore, and the sheets on their beds needed to be changed...

Luckily, most rooms inside the mansion are soundproof...
