Within a smaller world across the multiverse, a kobold looking reptile and a smaller blue rabbit relaxed against some rocks on a secluded beach. The area was completely isolated, save for the occasional bird or crab, leaving the pair completely alone as they relaxed while listening to the waves crash against the sandy shore. The natural beach was almost picturesque, as the quiet ambiance and peaceful sea breeze left them completely out of touch with any potential danger that might come.

The larger one of the two, the reptile, with a large, rounded belly and thick legs, rested on his back. His legs spread out and the massive tail was spread lazily out over the stone, as his soft, burgundy scales rubbed against the surface of the rock. The large, rounded frame, soft to the touch, was broken up by the gem affixed to his chest, that shined in the soft morning glow of the light in the sky. Despite his large, overweight frame, the reptile was no taller than your average table, his small stature and fat body making him look the part of a stout kobold.

“Haaah, when was the last time we just enjoyed the cool ocean breeze early in the morning like this?”

Upon asking the question, the smaller rabbit next to him opened her mouth. High pitched and feminine, she was curled up in a ball next to him. Her arms were much smaller, with larger paws and a wider lower frame. Light blue fur coated her body while she rested against an ever lighter tone ball of fur that served as her tail. Tucked away just below the reptile's arm, she scoffed before letting out a long, drawn out yawn.

“We haven’t come because I hate sand...it sucks getting out of fur. The ocean is nice, but I don’t want to be near the beach…”

At that, the reptile laughed lightly before gently petting her on the head and closing his eyes to take in the ambient sound. The smaller rabbit followed suit, with the pair naturally drifting off to sleep without a care in the world.

“It’ll be ok. We can just get the familiars to remove the sand. Once we finish and are ready to leave, right?”

The rabbit let out another sigh at this, though one built more from acknowledgement rather than disappointment or disapproval. She waved her paw in the air a bit as a few spheres of light appeared, tending to the pair by creating soft air gusts and cleaning them off any excess sand that stuck to their frames.

“Sigh, I suppose, well…just one advantage of being a mage.”

“I’ll say…those little lights you two can make’r quite good!”

The sudden intrusion of a new voice caused the pair to suddenly wake up, moving as quickly as they could to shift themselves into a better position. Next to them, the towering shark, with a muscular frame and a massive sword sat, watching the two move to ready themselves, all while smiling at the time it took for the reptile in question to pull himself up off the ground. The sight caused him to laugh, as a wide, toothy grin crossed his face in an almost sadistic pleasure as he marveled at how the miniature reptile's fat belly shifted around in such a soft and bouncy manner. He was much taller than the pair, easily being almost twice the height of the reptile he eyed, making him loom over the pair of mages like a predator looking down at them like he would prey.

“Glad to see working out is still on your list of no’s! How are you doing, little kobold! Oh, or should I say Ixen and Yori…? Been awhile, hasn’t it, loves?”

“Shit! Ixen that’s…um…uuuh…Who are you?”

The rabbit began to relax again as she realized that the shark was still sitting down, with no intention to attack or take the pair by surprise. The reptile next to her, Ixen, did much the same, though the sand pushing into the groves of his scales began to make his feet itch a bit.

Despite his apparent positive demeanor at the start, the smaller blue bunny left the shark frowning as he realized how quickly they both forgot about him. He slowly pulled himself up, causing the pair to ready themselves once more as they witnessed just how tall he was compared to the two.

“Oi, come on now. Surely you haven’t forgotten me? Ixen and Yori! I’m Haibei! Remember?”

Ixen began thinking to himself, along with Yori, trying to dig up everything they could from their world hopping, before each looked at the other and shook their heads with a shrug. Neither could remember at all, leading to the shark to only grow more annoyed as he barely managed to count as a footnote for the two despite what happened.

“Oh come on! Was I really that forgettable…? I need to make myself stand out more. Oh well, not all of us can be a famous evil general traveling with his cute, quick witted and intelligent wife. You got too long of a title, and I don’t feel like repeating it, general of the ebony flames?”

The words caused both to immediately strengthen their guard, with Ixen’s mood going down considerably as he heard his old title get quoted and used against him. Whenever it was used, it only meant one thing.

“So…a bounty hunter then? You and I have…met before? Gonna have to remind me, since I don’t really remember any of you that try to come after me and Yori.”

Haibei groaned, the sound of his annoyance coming in clear through his throat as he began to walk towards the hill in the back. Closer to a grassy area with some trees, before beckoning the pair to follow him along. Ixen and Yori reluctantly agreed, with Yori staying behind Ixen as the two began to follow, believing it to not be a trap.

“How can I make you remember me…? Hmm…you had a great slit for a guy. Mage pussy feels amazing, male or female. Why I love you reptilian mages compared to mammalian ones. Though you still are just a little kobold to me…oh well. Honestly, ever since last time, I’ve wanted an actual fight with you. Finally get a chance now in this open area. No shed to keep you contained and shit.”

The words alone began to annoy both Ixen and Yori, be it for Ixen’s slit to be called a “pussy” once more or with Yori, calling mammalian mages less desirable. The two were already beginning to hate him, but the words still rang no bells for either. Yori was all too used to being both literally and figuratively looked down on, and Ixen dealt with insults like that on a regular basis.

“So what? You just want to…fight me? With a big sword? You realize that you’ll never be able to beat a mage right? And you know at least…a bit about who I am. So surely you know I’m a former king, evil general and all that? You really want to throw away your dignity just to get beaten up by a superior mage?”

Haibei laughed loudly, stopping as he turned towards the two and motioned for them to stop as well. His face was left with a wide smile once more, one that was beginning to piss off the mages as they found themselves constantly locking eyes with it.

“Ya said something similar to that last time, only to end on a table getting fucked like a bitch. I just assumed it to be because you were at a disadvantage last time with how small the shack was, so I want to see if that was the case, or you’re just a guy who leads behind the safety of his subjects…”

He brandishes his blade, preparing a battle stance, as Ixen lets out a sigh. He pulses a few sparks of mana in his palms as Yori makes her way towards a nearby tree, staying out of the men’s fight, but close by just in case something were to happen. Who that guy was began to race through Yori’s mind, trying to think of who they were, as the two prepared to square off. Yori was fine with only half focusing on the fight, especially since against a single warrior, Ixen would be perfectly fine, his penchant for losing be damned.

Ixen however, unfazed, finally began to talk back to him, as the two prepared to start, replying to him while Yori found a spot underneath a tree to watch from the side.

“You warriors all think that the strongest of you idiots has to lead on the frontline like that. It is another reason why we mages are better than you. Tactically speaking, it only makes sense to make sure the leader is safe.”

“Hehe, kobold speak if I ever heard it! Come on, little kobold king, show me how “superior” your magic is then! Hahaha! Let’s DUEL!”

Immediately, Haibei rushed Ixen, brandishing the massive sword across his body as he used it to block and retaliation from Ixen. Ixen however, quickly vanished into a mass of fire, teleporting a short range away before sending out a wave of fiery disks towards the sharkman! However, with a glow from a gem on his shoulder, the disks vanished once they got near him, dissipating into a few strands of fire. The sight took Ixen a bit by surprise, while Yori muttered to herself about shoulder mounted gems that canceled out nearby mana as being quite familiar to her.

“Come now, you already know weak little spells like that won’t work on me!”

Haibei begins weaving forward, dashing in with surprising speed as he closes in on Ixen, who immediately raises an arm to create flame tendrils on the ground. The shark runs into them, slashing away at a few, only for most to make it through his defenses. However the moment they got close, the tendrils dissipated, leaving him to laugh again before taunting Ixen to try something stronger.

The comment only annoyed Ixen, who had been fighting more conservatively, making sure not to use too much mana if the fight went south. But it was clear that weaker spells would be unable to make it through, leaving him even more annoyed.

“Using something that cancels out my spells is cheating!”

Haibei smirked before pulling his blade back, ready to move in again. He was clearly a lot more mobile than Ixen, and if he could force him to continue with the teleport, he should be able to make him run out of mana by using such an expensive spell.

“The kobold continues to whine about the same thing he whined about last time, eh? You little lizards just never seem to learn!”

“I. Am. Not. A. KOBOLD!!!”

Ixen yelled back as he rose up both of his arms, before generating a massive amount of mana overhead. Lightning bolts formed in the sky above, as the sharkman finally closed the distance! Before he could do anything though, the bolt of lightning crashed down to the ground, shattering the surrounding earth around the pair, with Ixen holding his ground, forced to close his eyes from the intensity of the spell.

“Haha! See?! Stupid shark. This is why you non mage bastards shouldn’t go messing with-”

“-you mages always leave yourselves open…”

Ixen was cut off as a hand reached out from the smoke, directly towards the gem on his cloak. He pulled back before it could reach, managing to avoid it being torn off, only for the shark to rush in with the weapon and deliver a large, downward slash directly towards Ixen’s skull! With a shattering intensity, the attack connected, causing the barrier around Ixen to spasm from the deathblow, before Haibei grabbed Ixen’s arm, pulling him in and slashing at his stomach, knocking him away once more as Ixen hit the ground with the barrier blocking the attack once more.

“My thoughts? You mages and your shields. Can’t handle a real fight so you rely on some fancy gimmicks to keep yourselves in it. None of my business though I guess. Ready to fight for real?”

Ixen pulled himself up off the ground, struggling to get up with the same speed and efficiency as Haibei was able to, but with the difference in body frames and physical strength, it was clearly much harder for Ixen to do. Still, he pulled himself up nonetheless, checking the shield value left, as it came up as a large zero percent. Taken aback at how a pair of weapon attacks could break through it so quickly, Haibei, seeing his surprise, motioned to his blade.

“The blade is made from a metal designed to cut through your silly shield magic and spells. Nothin wrong with your silly barrier. If it wasn’t for that, it probably wouldn’t even drop below 90% charge.”

It was clear now that Haibei knew more than he was letting on, completely decked out in a lot of equipment designed to stop mages. Either he was designed to deal with mages, or he had equipment made to stop Ixen specifically. Regardless of the reason, Ixen only growled once he was fully up, staring daggers at him before getting ready to fight again.

By this point, Yori herself was up, her concern growing for how the fight was playing out. Haibei, whomever he was, clearly was using items that put him at an unfair advantage. Naturally the only way some warrior would have ever stood a change in her eyes. But reason for it aside, it was clear that she needed to step in soon, less something happen. Haibei himself took a cursory glance over, sniffing the air as he noticed Yori’s position shift.

“(Again? Hm…she stopped me from grabbing him last time as well…) Ready to continue little kobold? I could grab ya while down, but I actually have etiquette!”

Ixen muttered to himself, not bothering to join in on the insults. He quickly snapped his claws together, as streams of fire wrapped around him, before pulling away and forming a group of 5 clones. The act caused Haibei to look on while smiling, impressed by the sight of it. As he complimented them, they all smiled, as a bevy of spells from each one began assaulting him, forcing the shark on the defensive, as rays of fire and lightning surrounded him, putting him on the immediate back foot.

“Now how do you feel? Just because you can negate mana based attacks doesn’t mean I can’t just overpower your stupid gems!”

The act made Haibei smile, despite how correct Ixen was. The gems began to crack, unable to withstand the level of power and constant barrages he was being battered with, while Ixen ran back, hiding amongst the clones and putting himself at a safe distance away once more.
As he did, the same smile stayed plastered across the sharks face, despite Ixen now being at an immediate advantage, as the gems broke down, shattering one after the other as they were quickly overwhelmed, leaving him only with his sword, that was thankfully still able to at least block the attacks, Haibei began sniffing the air furiously, while keeping his feet as planted as possible.

“That’s a neat trick you got there, kobold. Very kobold behavior of ya! Though…clearly you haven’t fought a shark before if you think this would work on me!”

All the copies laughed at the claim, looking down at the shark as he quickly began to tire from constantly needing to guard, as a few stray hits connected with his body. Even despite taking a bit of damage and being put on the defensive, his smile never wavered, as he continued to take in the air around him. Meanwhile, Ixen, hiding out from farther away after teleporting to a safe distance, controlled the clones to all speak at once,

“Sounds like you’re just mad that all your stupid and cheap anti-magic bullshit is useless against a powerful mage like me! Haha! Give up, non mage? I can stop before you lose your dignity.”

As Ixen berated him, Yori watched, internally glad Ixen was winning. But she quickly lost herself as she finally got a clue off, finally remembering the shark from the shed nearly a year ago. As she did, she quickly pulled herself up and warped towards Ixen, whom she identified almost immediately as the mana hiding behind a nearby rock. Ixen was tucked behind it, healing himself a bit as he was quickly running through ideas on how to beat him. As Yori popped in, he flinched, but stayed where he was once he realized it was Yori.

“Yori? What are you doing? It’s dangerous!”

“I’m gonna just ignore that comment about it being too dangerous for me this time around. I’m here to tell you to stop holding back and kill that guy. I remember him now. He was the one that attacked us in that world with the weird straw roofs and half human, half plant things. In the shack, remember?”

The comment finally jogged Ixen’s memories, now being reminded of who this Haibei was. The memory of what happened last time fueled an increased hatred in him, as he pumped more mana into the clones from afar, increasing the intensity. The act of it didn’t go unnoticed by the shark still blocking the attacks, as the smile faded once he realized that Ixen was now trying to kill him.

“Remember who I was now…didja? It was fun while I got to mess around at least. Very well…! Like I said, these clones are a neat trick, very kobold of ya to send them out then hide like a little coward. Against most, this would probably work…but for me…”

His gaze shifted towards the rock that Ixen and Yori were behind, and with it, he immediately shot forward, dashing towards it while dodging the onslaught of fire and lasers that were being fired at him!

With one single brandishing of his blade, he leapt over the sea stone causing Ixen and Yori to look on in shock, before landing and quickly pivoting around to grab Ixen by the neck slamming him against the rock and rather than use the sword, punching him across the snout as he hit the rock again. Without a shield, blood began to drip out from his snout, and without being able to focus on the clones, the 4 he summoned vanished in a flash of embers.

“Yer summons smell like cinders. Nothing like you do. Ya smell like a reptile. Kobold. Weak. Dunno what they see in you yet, but that ain’t my job I guess.”

He immediately hit Ixen in the stomach with the hilt of his blade, making him fall to the ground before dragging him by the tail closer to the beach. As he did so, Yori yelled at him, before finally joining in, but before she could get a spell off, Haibei quickly took a glowing bolas from around his waist and threw it at Yori!

“Not this time little rabbit!”

The bolas wrapped around her body, pulling her arms in causing her to fall to the ground. The glowing orbs were the same crystals used on the pauldrons before, preventing Yori from using any magic to escape them. Without being able to move or use any magic, Yori did her best to get up, hopping towards the shark, who simply kicked her away with ease, the blow hitting her directly due to the barrier from her gem being deactivated thanks to the gemstones on the bolas. The action only angered Ixen, as he tried to get up, but a swift kick to the face put him back on the ground once again.

“You two…once you both lack any magic, you’re as threatening as children. Though I guess that’s just how you mages are…I suppose. Well anyway. No rabbit to interrupt, and I’ve been wanting to fuck that slit of yours all this time. I miss how it felt around my dicks before.”

Ixen groaned as the rocks in the sand cut into his soft scales, trying his best to get up and fight back, only to be physically beaten back to the ground once more, the warrior being far too strong and imposing to really stand a chance against with his softer claws and weaker frame.

Once they were far enough towards the shore, Haibei thrust his blade into the ground, before slamming Ixen against it. Taking a bit of rope from around his tail, he proceeded to tie the garnet dragon's arms back, while making sure to bind his mouth just for safety. Once done with the tedium, with a leg lifted up and over the side, Ixen’s slit was now unguarded and easy to access. Saving the effort of taking off the net around his own cock slit, Haibei looked down at Ixen’s beaten form, as the sight of the former noble and evil general was left speechless as he was left helpless to stop the shark from using him.

“Ahh, haha. Gotta admit, little is better in the world than putting a king and cocky little fat bastard like you in his place. How’s it feel to lose again?”

“H-how…d-do…you know? If all that…?”

Haibei smiled, the toothy grin across his face once more as he replied, with a simple claim that he would let him know once they were back. But he wanted to get a private session again with Ixen, before they returned. Lining up his twin rods like before, the natural lube that exists within his own chamber helped to push them both in, as the room within Ixen’s own cockslit was far more spacious than one would give it credit for.

“Ya take dick like a whore. Haha, hard to believe you have a wife with how well you take it.”

Ixen could only stammer out a weak and simple “shut up” as he was violated, the size of both dicks, while smaller on average, added up to being far larger than most when accounted for at the same time. Ixen, much to this dismay, was more than a little used to the feeling of a male plowing his front hole and turning him into a cocksleeve. As much as he groaned and tried to resist, the part of him that found perverse arousal from being dominated crept in, causing him to swear under his breath as it only made him come off as that much more of a sub than he actually was.

As Haibei continued, the walls surrounding the inside almost accepted the intrusion, tightening around the shark's twin rods and pulling him in while attempting to suck him dry. Ixen himself said nothing as Haibei used him, using his own custom blade to hold himself up while ravaging the former king.

The sound of light whimpers escaped Ixen’s bound maw as he just let it happen, unable to move, but far too aroused to even bother to stop it. Despite still being able to use magic to escape, Ixen did little to stop the act. Realizing he all but quit resisting, Haibei continued on, thrusting into him in a more set rhythm now, as the twin rods stretched out Ixen’s slit and wrapped around his length from inside. With a low growl escaping his throat, the sharkman began to relax, realizing that Ixen by this point no longer had much will to resist.

“Hrah…haha. I liked ya more when you mouthed off. It’s a bit less fun when you just take it. Ah well…”

Ixen stayed quiet, the drive to even respond back being all but gone, as the pain of being used without a shield shot through him. Not only was the pain of being beaten so easily by a fighter already putting his mood down, but the fact that he knew he enjoyed the fact that he was being so thoroughly dominated by a guy as big and strong as he was only made it even worse.

Silently cursing his enjoyment of it, Haibei continued to thrust into him, rubbing both his rods against the walls of his slit and forcing out a moan of pleasure from the former noble that was currently being turned into the sharkman’s own personal sleeve.
“Nothing at all to say? Just…haaa…whimpering and taking it, huh? More used to it than I anticipated then. You stretched out quite well!”

Every comment felt like a spike through the heart, as Ixen’s constant need to prove himself as a dom to others gets undercut the moment they realize he’s just as much of a sub to guys like Haibei. And in the back recesses of his mind, the idea of losing to him over and over again, if it meant getting ravaged in such a way, may not be so bad…

The thought was cut short however, as the sharkman leaned down, gripping the blade hilt harder, knowing that doing so to Ixen himself might just kill him. He pulled it forward, leaning down into him so as to get as deep as possible, before pumping out a thick stream of cum into his slit, claiming the evil general, at least for the current moment.

“Haah…finally. Being able to finish in peace…haah…god you nobles make for the best cock sleeves. Mages as well. Together…well…hah no matter. It’s time. I’ll clean up. Normally I’d make that mouth of yours do it, little kobold king, but we’re in a rush. I best not leave the little rabbit alone for long.”

With that, Haibei quickly redid the ropes around Ixen’s arms, tying them in a way that would allow him to drag Ixen back across the beach. Thinking to himself that he should hurry back, he grabbed his blade before finally making the short trip back towards the rock that Yori was left at.

Meanwhile…

Back near the grassy shoreline, Yori was busy leaning against the rock as she pushed her body up against the boulder, rubbing at the bindings of the crystals in an attempt to dislodge them. Grunting and complaining the entire time during it, Yori still proceeded despite the pain in her chest from being kicked before. However the thought of Ixen, both how hot it would be to watch him get railed, but also the danger they could both be in, gave her the energy needed to push past the pain.

“S-stupid…non mage…and his…s-stupid rope! Dammit, this hurts...Ixen…”

Yori stopped as she noticed herself muttering his name inadvertently, even though he no doubt was currently being violated by that shark from earlier. Cursing herself for becoming so overly reliant on someone else for rescue, she shook her head and went back to getting out on her own. Focusing back on the task at hand, she managed to eventually weaken a bind just enough to force one of the stones out before quickly shifting towards the next. However with how long it took to do, she would likely not have much time until Haibei showed back up, thus accepting that she may only get two of the three loose. Regardless, that hopefully would be enough.

True to her timing, once she got the second stone free, Yori quickly made herself look as helpless as before, where not long after, the sharkman made his way over, dragging a mentally drained Ixen, with cum dripping out of his slit. He had little to no expression in his gaze, almost as if accepting of the fate that had befallen himself and Yori. Whatever fight was there, no doubt was plowed out of him by the end.

“Good! Right where I left you. Come along rabbit, I have a gate back to where I am from a little ways down. Need to get you both there, since they were non to happy about not having you last time.”

Yori said nothing as he fashioned the rope around Ixen to drag Yori along as well, leaving the two behind him as he proceeded to walk. Now back together again, Yori did what she could to get Ixen’s attention, something that proved harder than expected given how thoroughly Haibei destroyed his confidence. With a few nudges and quiet calling to his name, Ixen stirred, looking over at Yori with a half lidded gaze.

“Sorry…I didn’t…want our time together…to end like this…”

“Why are you being so defeatist? We haven’t been caught yet. Look…”

Yori moved a bit, showing the single gem on the bolas left. The sight of it took a bit for it to register to the dragon, but once it did, his expression lit up and the previously sapped drive to fight back returned alongside it. With a quick, but quiet acknowledgement, Ixen began overcharging the gem, eventually causing it to break, giving Ixen and Yori both access to their magic once more.

Without wasting a second, Yori moves in to lean against Ixen, who immediately teleported away, taking the risk of doing so without a beacon to target being better than just waiting for whatever the shark was planning to do to them.

Once gone, Haibei continued to talk, momentarily unaware that the two were no longer there. Dragging the ropes along for a brief moment, as he began to talk to the pair that had teleported away.

“...well anyway. I never got a chance to explain, but now that I’ve gotcha both and I’m plenty satisfied, I can mention that I’m here ta retrieve you. The ones I work for were interested in having…you…two…did you both get lighter?”

Haibei pulled the rope forward, spotting that the pair were now gone. With a scream and a yell so loud that it caused birds in the area to fly away in terror, Ixen and Yori landed back where they were, albeit with a very rough landing, being a bit too high off the ground and falling down.
With a long groan of pain, the reminder of how physically weak they were without their shields, Ixen and Yori were quick to create a new portal, leaving immediately before Haibei could rush back to capture them again!

------
Back in a new world once more, Ixen and Yori found themselves much worse for wear this time around, quietly contemplating on exactly all that transpired. The pair laid out in the forest they opened a gate to, with Yori resting against Ixen’s belly and leg. The garnet dragon petted her slowly, eventually opening his mouth in order to break the silence.

“Thanks…your quick thinking saved us there…again…ha…”

This time around however, Yori shook her head, denying the claim of heroism that Ixen reluctantly brought up. She cited that the only reason they could get away was thanks to Ixen being able to break the stone. If it were not for him, then they wouldn’t be able to teleport away either. To her, the one to save them both was Ixen, not the other way around. Still, Ixen found himself reluctant to fully agree to the sentiment, leading to Yori ultimately just deciding to meet in the middle.

“Let’s just agree to disagree. Besides, you look like you got your ass kicked by a sexy shark man. Goodness, you make me work way too hard protecting your useless ass.”

Ixen laughed at the sudden tonal shift in her voice and demeanor, the kind side almost being taken away abruptly as Ixen obeyed, laying back as Yori created a green circle spell around him and began to heal Ixen.

“I’m useless? Oh, and what happened to the “we got away thanks to each other,” huh? Last I checked, I had a full fight with him, while you were taken out by three rocks and a piece of rope!”

“What?! Well maybe I WON’T heal you! Stupid fat fuck! I wish I got to see him slit fuck you again like last time. Would have been nice seeing him put you down where you belong!”

At this, Ixen smiled before pulling Yori in, a grin across his face made it clear what would happen after he was up and ready again. Despite his interest in subbing to larger guys being ever present, he always appreciated Yori’s presence reaffirming how much he preferred topping others.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to give you a very thorough recreation of it. Stupid little wimp. Afterall, a King needs to remind his queen just who’s in charge here.”

With that, the two once more pushed the shark out of their minds, as they each prepared to head out once more soon, though only after the villains had their time together…

------
In another world however, Haibei was resting at a table, drinking something from a glass as a few robed figures talked to him, accompanied by another mage, wearing a long, flowing robe. The mage there resembled a well built, anthropomorphic wolf. A large and bushy tail came out freely from the back, moving of its own volition as he sat across from Haibei himself. The shark looked less than pleased, his regular smile being a threatening scowl as he looked over everyone present, his dislike for mammals almost palpable in the air around them.

“…Yeah but I still caught them both! I won both times, they just-”

“-They also got away from you. Both times. It’s clear to us that sending a “warrior” might have been a poor decision when deciding to catch mages. Least of all, one who keeps messing up because of his libido.”

The sudden cut off only served to annoy Haibei even more, as his grip around the cup tightened, with the muscles and strength from him causing it to crack slightly. He stopped once the sound of it reached his ears, taking a breath before continuing and moving his hand away from the drink.

“So what? You’re sending him instead? Altema? Really? That stupid puzzle game obsessed mutt who likes multicolored slime balls?”

The mage in question scoffed, shrugging off the insult and putting Haibei down, reminding him that both failures were because he was way too obsessed with having sex with the red reptile, rather than just beating them both and bringing them back on the spot. With a small wave of his hand, he dismissed the shark completely, in a way similar to the way mages typically looked down on inferior warrior types.

“I’m not as promiscuous as you are Haibei. I know how to get work done. And like you should know, the best way to deal with a mage is with another mage. Leaving it to non mages like you clearly didn’t cut it. Don’t worry, sharky, I’ll take good care of them both…you need not worry, this will be over quickly.”

With that, he vanished in a veil of black energy, laughing as he prepared to set up his trap for the two. Haibei himself was dismissed after being informed that he would likely no longer be assigned to deal with the pair any longer. With that, they left, leaving the sharkman to slam his drink on the table, before wishing the pair good luck in dealing with an even stronger opponent than he was.

“Good luck, little nobles. Altema is no joke. But…hm…they can beat him. Hrah…I was gonna use the money to replace the mana gems…”[/story]
