Monarch of Gluttony: System of Sin

A plant appeared before the Triad Queen, being somewhat similar to the plant that has appeared under Azekiel's bed. Only a few minor differences could be seen.

The plant before her had some thorns, but the place under Azekiel's bed didn't.

The Triad Queen touched one of the thorns, letting it stab her finger a bit. The plant started feeding on her blood while she sat before the plant, closing her eyes.

Inside Azekiel's room, Leor sat with the support of the wall. She still wondered how this plant was going to do anything.

The Haixu Plant couldn't hurt anyone. The only special thing about the plant was that it could make someone fall into a drug-induced sleep, making them lose consciousness in the end. It was like a drug plant that was used to confuse a person and make them sleep.

It also released a gas that didn't have any odor. The colourless gas slowly filled the entire room.

In his sleep, Azekiel didn't realize when he lost consciousness, lying on the bed. Fortunately, it was just an ordinary unconsciousness and not dangerous.

Raphael still didn't find anything strange. Since Azekiel was already asleep before, there was hardly any difference now. He was lying in the same position as before, looking like he was peacefully sleeping. Leor was also in her spot, not doing anything suspicious.

Unlike Azekiel, the sleeping gas didn't affect Raphael. He didn't even realize that there was something like that.

*****

Even as Azekiel lost his consciousness, he found himself in a different place. For a moment, he wondered if he was dreaming.

The dream looked realistic, yet there was something clearly off about it. It wasn't like a dream he had seen before. In fact, his old dreams looked slightly less realistic than this. If he wasn't so alert, he might've even confused this with the reality.

He felt that he was lying on a bed, in a dark room. He noticed that he wasn't wearing any clothes at all. He was completely naked. And there was a woman who was lying beside him.

Her hand was holding onto something that it shouldn't, going up and down slowly. "What happened darling? Why do you look so out of it tonight?"

A sweet melodious voice fell in his ears as a tongue lightly licked his earlobes.

He turned to the source of the voice. It was so dark that it wasn't easy seeing the person. However, he still managed to see some glimpses that made him realize who she was.

As his vision became adjusted to the darkness, he noticed that he was in the bed with Triad Queen, who was completely naked as well.

Her breasts were touching his chest as she continued moving her hand to and down, holding onto his erection.

This dream... It was too bizarre for him. Azekiel was sure he would never end up in a bed with the Triad Queen. Even though she was beautiful, he didn't have any positive feelings for her because of everything he knew about her. In fact, if he were attracted to anyone, it would've been Leor!

However, here he was, dreaming about the Triad Queen. Generally, as soon as he realized that he was dreaming, he used to wake up, but this time, he couldn't. Even though he realized that it was a dream, he couldn't wake up.

"I think the big guy is ready," the Triad Queen exclaimed as she turned her body. She arrived on top of Azekiel.

"This is more real!" Azekiel exclaimed. He was about to stand up, but he realized that he couldn't do that either. It was as if his body was refusing to listen to him.

"What happened, darling? What are you talking about?" The Triad Queen smiled, planting her lips on Azekiel's lips.

"Why can't I move my body?" Realizing that he couldn't move his body, Azekiel understood that it wasn't a harmless dream. Something big was going on.

"Is this one of your tricks, Urien?" he asked. He didn't know how the Triad Queen managed to take over his dream, but he was sure this was the case. Everything pointed to the same time.

He tried calling for his Gauntlets, or his system, but he couldn't use anything here.

"And here, I thought you'd take longer to realize what's happening here." Urien licked her lips which had just tasted Azekiel's lips. "You're quite perceptive."

"You're right. This is a dream, yet it's not a dream at the same time. It's the realm between dream and reality. And even if you know about it, you can't escape from my grasp. As long as I'm here, you'll be here. And I'm not leaving until I destroy your consciousness entirely..."

"You wanted to destroy my Clan? Maybe you were actually capable of doing that when you were in the real World, but in this dreamland, I'm the queen, and you're nothing. Your consciousness is my prisoner here! I will make sure that your consciousness is destroyed before you leave this place! Either that, or you'll become my slave, getting addicted to me and this pleasure..."

"Even after knowing what's happening, you will crave for me! You made my sister your servant? I'll make you mine! I'll make you beg for me..."

The Triad Queen wasn't the queen for no reason. She wasn't called the strongest Triad for nothing. She was considered the most dangerous person in the history of Triads.

Just the strength she revealed before everyone was enough to show the world how strong she was, but as a Queen, she kept quite a lot of her cards hidden, including her special tricks like the one she was using on Azekiel.

She was the Queen of Triads. That's why she was connected more closely with nature and plants than the other Triads. But only she could talk with the places, but she could also listen and spy through them. That was just the surface of it. She could even trap someone's consciousness as long as they were in a trance.

It was hard to place someone in a trance, but since Azekiel was sleeping and Leor was right beside him in closed doors, the Haixu Plant made her work easier.

It created conditions similar to a trance. There was still one problem... The distance was too much between her and Azekiel for her to use this. She used the Haixu Plant for that as well. Through her blood, she connected her consciousness more with the plant, which brought it to a similar plant inside Azekiel's room.

She had managed to enter Azekiel's room, at least mentally, without alerting Lia, who was still waiting outside.

"Shall we begin?" The Triad Queen asked, biting her lower lip. "I'm going to enjoy it."

The Triad Queen was in the dreamland with Azekiel. And it was all because she wanted to control Azekiel. She didn't feel confident in facing him head-on, especially after the warning of Leor.

She chose a much faster way and one in which she could actually punish Azekiel properly for all he did.

She brought him into a realm where all his senses were heightened, especially his senses of pleasure.

Instead of fighting, she chose a different way to destroy his mind completely... The path of pleasure. She decided to use the biggest weakness of a man. She was to make him a slave to the pleasure where he could only beg her to do it again and again, even going as far as licking her feet in exchange if she asked.

Azekiel had no control over his body in this realm. However, he could still feel everything that was more real than reality itself.

He felt the Urien's fingers around his erection. She positioned herself properly before moving her waist down...

Since it was Azekiel's consciousness, it wasn't his real body that was experiencing it. It was like an imagination... Just the imagination was realistic, and so was the feeling of entering Urien's body which felt so tight.

Leor stood up and walked closer to Azekiel. She was sure that he must be unconscious by now.

She observed the human from much closer, not realizing that Raphael was keeping an eye on her.

Raphael frowned, wondering what this girl was trying to do.

"He really lost consciousness," After slight observation, Leor affirmed. "I did as she asked me to do. Now all's left to her. I still don't understand how she will do it. How will she defeat Azekiel? Why did she want him to be unconscious?x

Feeling as if she was alone and that Azekiel was unconscious, the lady didn't keep her voice down. She spoke her thoughts out loud, sitting beside Azekiel.

"No matter what she does, I do hope I can get free. If we lose even now, this guy is going to be really offended... Even more than before..."

"And I doubt he would listen in that case... That would certainly be a disaster."
