<Hidden Quest…Hunting the Matriarchs…triggered>

<The host has been in contact with at least three matriarchs and triggered the hidden quest. For every matriarch the host fucks, the host will receive 500,000 ero points and 10 first-class item cards>

<For every matriarch who falls in love with the host, the host receives 1.5 million points, one set of Cuck-Binding Chains, and a king-class item card>

<Note that the system defines a matriarch as a woman with command over at least 50,000 men, and will reward you for matriarchs you have conquered already>

The moment Elektra appeared, the system's voice boomed in Mithras' mind. But he ignored it, focusing on the queen.

Elektra aimed at the unconscious headmistress, draining the Red Cloud Venom in her veins with a grasping motion before casting a healing mantra. Suri woke up the moment next, crossing her arms over her chest and bowing at Elektra.

"My lady," the headmistress said in a soft and polite tone, confirming Elektra's status.

"What's going on? Why is the Red Cloud Theocracy opposing a Red Envoy?" Elektra didn't beat around the bush, her words causing the headmistress to lower her head even more.

"My lady, this is a misunderstanding. We didn't attack him—we wouldn't dare to! He attacked us!"

"I see. Now, Your Excellency, would you like to explain how my subordinates have offended you?" Elektra asked in that same disturbingly level tone, almost as if she had no interest in the ongoing conflict.

"Good question. But to be honest, I have about a million reasons why I'd want to fuck up the Red Cloud Theocracy. I really don't know where to start," Mithras replied in similar fashion. At that time, Cassandra appeared at Mithras' right, facing Elektra while Nagini turned into a blazing fire dragon, roaring from above.

"I see. We can all agree that I've followed the rules of courtesy and etiquette, right?" Interestingly, despite Nagini and Cassandra's appearance, Elektra ignored them, still looking at Mithras.

Cassandra, however, stared at her younger sister—unspoken words flashing through her eyes as she realized that 18 years had passed since she last saw Elektra.

"I…guess?" Mithras answered the strange question, his eyes narrowing a little.

Elektra's eyes too narrowed, and a dreary silence settled in—maintained by the two parties' unwillingness to break the stalemate.

"I couldn't care less about your grudge with the Red Cloud Theocracy. But the Red Cloud Pythons are important to me. If I asked you to return them all, would you?" Elektra asked, and for the first time since she'd made her entrance, her tone shifted completely, becoming a mellow and melodious tune that melted the defenses of males and females alike.

All immediately felt compelled, wanting nothing more than to serve the interests of Elektra. Even Cassandra had a hard time resisting Elektra's compulsion, with only Mithras and Nagini appearing completely unharmed.

"Sadly, they're important to me too. And I got a feeling snakes prefer my company anyway." Mithras replied, and from behind her flame shroud, Elektra's lips curled up.

"Not bad. Now let's make a deal. Alone, you might be able to escape, but that would leave your familiar and Lady Cassandra in my hands. I can tell they're both strong, but I'm stronger and can beat them both.

So how about this? You can leave with the flames and snakes. But in exchange, I want your help with a little quest of mine. If you agree, we will discuss the specifics at a later date. All the info's here." Elektra's voice returned to its original form, and she flicked her fingers, firing a silver flame card at Mithras.

After using the Sensory Secret to make sure the card didn't conceal traps, Mithras crushed it between his fingers, causing a wave of information to enter his brain—his eyes widened in disbelief.

"It is no doubt interesting. But I'm horrible at making choices under pressure," Mithras said following a moment of silence, again causing the audience to hold its breath in expectation of Elektra's response.

"I am as well. You can leave. If you wish to take me up on my offer, you now know how to contact me. I will give you one week to decide. That should be plenty. And if I don't get the answer I want by then, I will get my pythons back with brute force," Elektra said, making the headmistress gawk in a stupor.

That Elektra referred to her as "Lady" didn't seem to surprise Cassandra, whose lips curled into a bitter smile.

Forever the practical man, Mithras didn't delay, vanishing into the distance alongside Cassandra and Nagini.

"Are you sure you should let him go? That man vandalized our treasures, stole our Inner Flames and Red Cloud Pythons, killed the Grand Priest, yet still bears a grudge against us.

That level of hate is quite frankly shocking. And he was about to delete our theocracy from the map before you returned to save the day. So, if I may ask my dear lady why…haven't you made his head pop like a balloon?" Too confused to stay silent, Suri asked—unable to accept that Elektra let Mithras go just like that.

"I want to try and be more polite…"

"Ah?"

"Also, Elijah possessed a passive ability known as the Double Immolation Curse. That ability came from Akamana and is about as destructive as my strongest mantra. So, if that youth can survive it, he can probably survive me," Elektra gave a more believable answer.

On top of their destructive powers, Inner Flames typically possessed unique abilities.

Pyrogasmic Genesis could send people into heat or cause spontaneous orgasms at peak force. The Wrathful God Fire possessed the Red, White, and Dark Flame that gave unique perks each. Honoria's Metamorphic Flame enabled shapeshifting, and so on.

But in Elektra's case, her Inner Flame enabled her to strengthen another person's talents by one to two classes—except they couldn't go beyond the divine class.

Consequently, she could also sense talents—an unusual ability that enabled her to see through many of Mithras' secrets.
