(Moku 3rd POV)

"Well... Okay... But can we discuss this later? I’m in the middle of a fight with a very strong enemy right now," Moku glanced towards Foras, whose face was scrunched up in a frown, almost wrinkling.

Despite this, Foras didn’t attack; he just clasped his hands over his chest, puffing it out. Moku could only look at Foras with an apologetic face.

He truly felt sorry for his opponent at the moment.

During their intense battle, Moku suddenly received a call from Nevare.

Initially, he wanted to ignore the call, but Foras sensed Moku’s distraction. He stopped attacking, and Moku did the same.

Foras then asked Moku why he was distracted from their fight. Moku could only answer honestly, with a somber face, that his wife was calling him.

Foras then simply said, "Oh..." nodding, and followed it with, "Then answer quickly!"

Initially, Moku shook his head, feeling guilty about postponing their life-and-death battle. But Foras responded, "Even though we’re having fun, family comes first!" he said understandingly.

Eventually, Moku could only apologize and answer Nevare’s call.

"I want all the top officials of Wilwatikta to gather in two days!" Nevare’s voice echoed from the other end of the line.

"But, honey, you know that the department heads are currently very busy. Some of them really can’t leave their duties right now," Moku explained.

He didn’t know what was going on near Nevare, but his wife was truly angry right now.

While women could be selfish creatures and sometimes live in their own world, Nevare was usually an understanding woman. So, when she asked for something as troublesome as this, Moku was truly baffled.

"I know that. Of all the department heads, only Reha really can’t come on a 2 days’ notice. But the rest can delegate their work to the monsters under them. Don’t lecture me about this; you just read their reports while fucking a woman, whereas I’m the one who writes those reports!"

"Ah! Okay, okay, okay!" Moku could only nod. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Despite having eidetic memory, he wouldn’t remember anything if he hadn’t seen it before.

So Nevare, who wrote the monthly Wilwatikta movement reports, would definitely understand better than Moku, who just read them while making love with one of his wives.

But what could he do? He was a husband with many wives. Unlike Genghis Khan, Moku didn’t want to neglect his wives after bedding them once.

Therefore, as a good husband, he had the responsibility to continuously fill his wives’ wombs with fresh Asura sperm.

"I just wanted to tell you that. When can you come home?" Nevare asked.

"Ugh... Honey, I really don’t have much time right now. I’m in the middle of a life-and-death battle, remember?" Moku became increasingly restless.

His green skin had turned red, and he didn’t want to look towards Foras anymore out of sheer embarrassment.

He now felt like a child being called home by his mother while playing with his friends.

Why did he have to go through this? He was a king, the strongest monster, yet his wife could easily disrupt his leisure time.

Was this the fate of all married men? Where is our freedom?

"You haven’t been home for a few days. Don’t spend too much time having fun with that Slut Princess! You know Nezena likes to hold grudges, right?"

"Okay, okay, okay, I know, I know, Please Honey... I’ll call you again after this!" Moku said, desperate.

Moku knew which of his wives was actually a grudge holder. And unfortunately, Nezena is not number one in that regard.

"Hmm... you really don’t like it when I call you, huh? Well then, go fight and die; I don’t care!! Don’t contact me again!"

And with Nevare’s shouting voice that felt like it was shattering Moku’s eardrums, the call ended. Moku could only slap his face until it turned red, too embarrassed to show his face in front of Foras.

But the elephant in the room had to be addressed.

With eyes filled with shame, Moku glanced at Foras. "Sorry, Foras... My wife really doesn’t understand the situation," Moku almost stuttered if he didn’t have thick skin.

Foras just shook his head and said, "You don’t need to worry about me. I also understand women, especially if they’re wives that you pamper. Sometimes they’re sweeter than honey, but sometimes they’re bitterer than coffee."

Colors other than red returned to Moku’s face.

He nodded vigorously. "Exactly! I’m also puzzled by the behavior of my wives! I have the ability to predict the thoughts, you know? But still, what they’re thinking always remains an unsolvable puzzle!"

"Heh~ You only can predict someone’s mind, even those who can read someone’s mind are confused by what women think. They seem to be made to be incomprehensible by men," Foras shook his head, feeling dizzy with the enigmatic creatures called women.

"Well... although it’s impossible, we men must still try," Moku said.

"That’s right. It’s a man’s responsibility to provide for women’s needs, so we must continue to try to understand them," Foras nodded.

"Thank you for the advice. But how do you know all this? Aren’t you the sin of wrath?" Moku asked, curious.

"Well... the embodiment of wrath is my grandfather, Momon, the Demon of Wrath. I just inherited a little essence of rage that I learned, so I can gain the power of Doom. However, wrath and women are actually closely related. That’s why, no matter how soft a woman’s voice is when she’s angry, a man’s ears will still ring loudly," Foras explained.

Hearing Foras’s explanation, Moku truly felt enlightened.

He remembered Nedira.

When Nedira was still a goblin named Tam, she was shy, gentle, and friendly. But when Tam became a hobgoblin and married Moku, her husband could no longer find the words shy, gentle, and friendly in her.

Instead, if Moku were to describe the hobgoblin named Nedira now with three words, they would be Nympho, Slutty, and Annoying.

Wise people say that your partner’s true behaviour will only be revealed after marriage. That’s why the dating stage in a serious relationship isn’t necessary.

Husbands and wives will still argue, and new behaviors that were never seen before will emerge. So, the dating stage is just a waste of time in relationships between men and women who are serious.

"I get it, I get it, I get it," Moku nodded three times.

He never thought that enlightenment about married life could come from a demon like Foras.

Once again, this new adversary offered a different perspective from what elves and humans described about demon species.

Perhaps monsters and demons had far more similarities than he thought.

"Once again, thanks for the advice Foras. You really help me with this one," Moku said, looking at Foras gratefully.

"No problem, no problem. I’m glad I could help you. But you can only return to your family if you manage to kill me. So, the advice I gave might be in vain," Foras said with a neutral face, as if discussing today’s weather.

"Ah, you don’t need to worry about that. You’re weaker than I thought. I don’t think you stand a chance against me. So, I should thank you because by eating you, I’ll become even stronger," Moku replied with the same neutral tone.

"Heh~ I’m glad you’re confident! Let’s begin!"

"Let’s begin!!"

Just as their voices fell, their bodies disappeared as they moved faster than sound.

Moku refocused on his enemy.

Foras was a very strong demon, Moku had to admit that.

He might occupy the upper echelon of Level 6 Mana Core Demons, so defeating him wouldn’t be easy.

Foras’s curse spell, Palm of Wrath, had the function of multiplying the amount of energy needed to activate skills several times over.

Based on Moku’s estimate, Palm of Wrath could make enemies’ energy consumption increase by five times.

As for Foras’s domain, Amalgam of Death, it likely had the function of directly killing anyone who entered it.

However, Amalgam of Death wasn’t overpowered. It could only kill those weaker than Foras.

So, if Moku currently had a total strength equivalent to a Level 5 Constellation Mage, he would definitely die when Foras activated his domain.

But if it only worked on those weaker, then Amalgam of Death was a very useless domain. What’s the point of bothering to use a domain just to kill those weaker than you? Just blow on them, and they’ll die.

That’s why Moku suspected that Amalgam of Death had another function.

He guessed that this function was related to the moment when he couldn’t move when Palm of Wrath was activated.

So, there was a high probability that another power of Amalgam of Death was to make enemies within it unable to escape the curse that was activated.

But based on the knowledge he gained from elves and humans, curse spells were abilities that couldn’t be avoided if the activation conditions were met.

Therefore, Palm of Wrath must have difficult activation conditions, so Foras could only use it together with Amalgam of Death.

Well... this fight will be really interesting.
