Right in front of Zaja, a massive surge of heat erupted out of thin air, forcing the vessel to let go of Kael and take a few steps backwards.
Kael had summoned another Death Painting. Not just any Death Painting, his most trusted and most used spirit in his arsenal.
The Melted Sentinel was humanoid looking, having all the major parts of a human body like hands, legs, torso and a head. But it's body was totally made up of a smooth metal like substance that shone under the light and it had no facial structures, just a smoothed out face.
Hot air from the spirit rose, scorching the room. But Zaja wasn't affected by the heat, he cared more so for what this spirit might be capable of doing.
"Another spirit?... You keep summoning entities you're gonna run out of Arcane energy you fool." Zaja said out loud so that Kael could here.
Kael didn't respond, he just gave his Death Painting spirit the license to attack. The spirit's hands heated up and took the shape of massive hammers.
Zaja paused and looked at the foe before him, the Melted Sentinel was poised and ready to attack, and so was Kael. The scion was hoping to double team him.
"Listen Kael, you might be of noble blood. But need I remind you that when you were still playing with toys and begging your mother to get you sugar candy, I was counting heads and bodies of criminals and gangs..."
"What makes you think you have the capacity to go toe to toe with me? Because of you have a Special Grade mutation?"
"This is your chance to back down now and stop making a fool of yourself, you are a joke to me— if you back down maybe I'll reconsider killing you for what you did."
Kael still didn't respond verbally, he just mentally gave the order and the Melted Sentinel charged forward in attack.
Zaja let out a little smirk before dropping into a combat pose, 'Suite yourself, I gave you your chance bitch'.
Indeed, Zaja has been through the wages of war before Kael even mastered how to summon his Death Paintings. When Zaja unlocked his legendary Shadow Sovereign Flame mutation, he was immediately thrown into a world of constant battles just at the young age of eighteen.
Kael was still sixteen, although he was still learning the ropes of modern combat, it was no level to the vicious combat experience Zaja was going through.
Now, Zaja's twenty one years of age and Kael eighteen. Even if the scion had a Special Grade mutation he still hadn't fully grasped the full potential of the ability.
The Melted Sentinel spirit and Kael Valthorne charged at Zaja in a fluid, impressive and intertwined series of melee attacks but Zaja was just that much smoother, dodging and evading the attacks with ease.
The main characteristic of the Melted Sentinel was the heat it was pouring out and it's ability to shift its body into any shape or weapon it chooses.
Zaja was already immune to heat as he displayed when he went to pound town with Lady Elyria so that perk was useless and as for ability to attack with different weapons, he could easily dodge.
Immediately after finding an opening, the vessel landed a power backed punch on the spirit, completely destroying it and then grabbed Kael by the neck again, this time hoisting him up before smashing him into the ground.
"That's two summons that proved useless against me, you truly don't know how to use your powers don't you!" Zaja proceeded to pick Kael up and run his knee straight into the scions groin area.
The Desire System immediately went wild with notifications and dialogue boxes.
Ding!
~Vessel has humiliated his fellow male by targeting the manhood~
~Reward: 50 Desire Points~
Upon seeing the notification, Zaja's eyes lit up with excitement. 'Huh? I get Desire Points for attacking this bastards dick? Isn't that interesting!'.
Zaja reposition Kael and his body. By now Kael's face was a crazy mess but Zaja didn't care.
"One, two ready go!".
Bam!
He slammed his knee into Kael's groin area again, causing the boy to moan in pain.
Ding!
~Rewards: 50 Desire Points~
Bam!

~Reward 50 Desire Points~
Bam!

~Reward: 50 Desire Points~

~Reward: 50 Desire Points~

"It's like a cheat code haha!!" Zaja said before repeating it a few more times and then finally letting go of Kael, watching him drop to the floor like a sack of potatoes.
Ding!
~Vessel has successfully humiliated fellow male to the last point~
~Subject: Kael Valthorne~
~Lady Elyria Valthorne witnessed the humiliation of Kael Valthorne and her love for the male has dropped significantly due to the Vessels actions.~
~Hidden Quest has been achieved!: Payback For Killing me!~
~30,000 Desire Points have been awarded to the Vessel.~
~New Upgrade unlocked~
Zaja suddenly stopped moving as he stared at the systems interface.
"Upgrade?"
He clicked the dialogue box to open up the information:.
~New Upgrade: Perpetual Releaser~
~This upgrade activates whenever one of the vessel's humiliated victims is watching them fuck their loved ones, the vessel's orgasms is much more intense and his juices are pumped in liters~
~System advices that Vessel used this upgrade in moderation as highly intense orgasm regularly can make the vessel run mad from lust~
"I see..." Zaja nodded to himself as he returned his focus back to the battered down Kael Valthorne.
The scion lay there, defenseless and motionless with his mouth ajar and running blood non-stop due to Zaja's attacks.
Around his crouch area was intensely bloodied too.
"Ohh, look how the tables have turned... Look who's bloodied all over now huh? I am not done with you bastard! Welcome to real life where one has to pay for their debts and you Kael owe me a mountain high of payback."
Zaja dropped his foot on Kael's throat and applied immerse pressure, trying to suffocate the heir. Kael naturally tried to shove away Zaja's foot from his throat, but the pressure was too intense. And quite honestly, that weak attempt angered Zaja the more.
He landed lots of blows in Kael's body, covering his head to toe with hundreds of cuts, bruises and burns.
"Pfft!" Streams of blood oozed from Kael's mouth, his lips was messed up and he didn't even have the strength to fight back, let alone summon The Wilted Cherub to heal up. He just lay there breaking into hot tears.
"Ohhh my lord..." Zaja started mockingly, noticing Kael's groin area. "I'm sure your manhood is several degrees beyond normal by now, it wouldn't feel good if it was erect would it. Whatever pain you are feeling now would be multiplied ten fold if your dick was hard right now!"
Lady Elyria immediately gasped in shock as she was starting to have enough of the sight unfolding before her eyes.
"Zaja... Thornhill son! Kael will die at this rate!" She yelled from her standing position.
"Words can't express how much I don't care if he dies!" Zaja replied back with a yell.
"No, we cannot afford to kill him. Kael is the number prospect of the Ironforge Dominion and the king has found favour in him, promising to hand his daughter over to him in marriage..." Lady Elyria said.
Zaja paused abruptly, "What?"
The King of Ironforge Dominion has a daughter and as all kings would like, he wanted his daughter to marry someone powerful enough to continue the dominance of the country, and no other candidate was more perfect than Kael Valthorne.
Zaja took a minute to think of this fact. Lady Elyria was indeed smart to point that out, especially considering their current situation.
If Zaja killed Kael here and now, there would be no likely candidate to marry the princess, therefore Ironforge Dominion will have no heir. And a country without an heir is a country waiting for its king to die before falling apart.
"Not to mention that if the church found out about me and my powers, I would become public enemy number one!" Zaja muttered to himself.
Due to his lustful powers, it was a no brainer that the religious extremist of Ironforge Dominion would never find favor in Zaja's abilities.
Truth be told, Zaja wanted to kill Kael, but he simply couldn't. The scion was massively protected by the society they lived in. And above all, Zaja wanted to keep Elyria under his control, how could he kill her only child.
"Looks like you're going to be lucky bastard... But that doesn't mean you are not going to pay for your crimes against me!" Zaja said finally.
Kael coughed up a load of blood and rolled on his side and after a few wheezing if his breath, he managed to speak.
"You are still my servant one way or the other... Hehe!" The scion said with a smile revealing his bloodied teeth.
Elyria believed that, for her sake and the entire country, Zaja wouldn't go all the way through and end Kael's life.
However, Zaja had something else more diabolical in mind.
