Chapter 74: Staff Of All Things I

...........

It wasn't long after the meeting before moans and whines of pleasure resounded throughout a certain room, more intense than any previous time that Selina noticed while barely hanging on a thread.

Her consciousness was slipping out, on the brink of passing out, but Ian didn't allow it, not this time at least.

There wasn't much foreplay this time around as he was ready to finally go all the way, just two naked bodies firmly connected to each other. Their lips were passionately battling for dominance, their tongues intertwined.

A while passed before their lips stopped meshing together as they pulled back a bit, leaving a trail of saliva between them, a clear indication of their previously mindless passionate state.

Selina looked into his eyes dazedly, her eyes were glazed with passion as she wondered, "We'...re gonna do it??"

Ian didn't answer but let his action show his intention as he aligned his death spear, ready to thrust it into her sopping wet dimension, the start of chaos.

Their training session was short but wanton. Their passion was unleashed, alas Selina couldn't hold on for long, especially with how deadly his death spear is, a weapon that can kill by giving life, the word miracle suited it quite a lot.

And even with her conscious slipping out, Selina as if by instinct still railed him up with her naughty words. Sweet moans, yells of his name with absolute love and devotion, it was all music to his ears.

Alas, Selina eventually passed out before Ian finished. He wasn't unsatisfied as he gently covered her with a blanket before sitting on the side of the bed.

"I can control it," Ian softly muttered with a look of interest on his pale face. He looked at his hands as he lifted them as if he was looking at something around them, something only he can see.

The corners of his mouth were raised into a smile as he closed his eyes and focused before time runs out.

He focused on the energy he clears feels but can only sense when it's in a wild state, such as this time right after an intimate training session.

At such times, his life forces run wild spreading to all directions through a significant part of it flows into his space ring, constantly getting absorbed by the latter.

The ring however seemed to have very little effect on his life force. It was set up to absorb the life force of anyone wearing it in a matter of a month or two, yet it was absorbing his life force very slowly.

'Hmm, it's hard to control and it seems that my control of it is weakening slowly as the amount of energy getting released becomes lower... Quite interesting.'

Still, he didn't give up and attempted to control his life force and make it flow into the ring. The results however were disappointing, 'The ring should be absorbing about 10% and I can only control another 15%. The rest is basically wasted.'

He stroked his chin with a thoughtful look for quite a while, almost zoning out before he felt a pair of arms and a soft body hugging him from behind.

"Please hug me??" Selina whispered in an adorable tone, almost a pleading tone and she didn't need to say a word more as Ian instantly picked her up in his arms and lay with her on the bed.

"You love cuddling that much?" Ian asked while caressing her short hair while she was trying to dive deeper into his embrace, "How can I not? It feels so nice."

Then there was a brief silence before Ian spoke again, "About Ivy, she's still untrustworthy, so keep an eye on her."

"Hm? I thought it was the opposite with how all over you she was for the past week... She's trying to steal you from me."

Ian noticed she didn't seem bothered with that but just shrugged his shoulders, having a certain understanding as to why, "She's obsessed with me but not in a good way.

She seems to love my life force very much, leading me to believe that her actions have something to do with her power. I will keep her at bay, but just don't pay attention to her provocations."

"Mmm," Selina softly mumbled before falling asleep, too exhausted to say anything else.

Ian waited for a while after she slept and left the room, too many things to do starting with feeding Ivy her share of life force of the date. What comes after is a short sparring session with Richard Dragon then back to business.

The Roses are extremely busy and will still be busy for a while to come. Gaining complete control over Gotham is certainly not easy, and that's even after eliminating most of the crime families.

At least, the Roses acquired most of the crime families' black books the day of the incident which saves a lot of effort. It not only contains a lot of incriminating things but it also has the names and information of corrupt cops and officials, something Ian will certainly use.

Time flies... Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

The Roses were strangely quiet these days, once they garnered enough control over Gotham, they lay low with no further actions. No distractionship plays, no heists. All there was is silence and a few stealthy moves taking place under people's noses.

What was Ian doing all this time? Well, many things including his recent creation. Not something he created along but with the help of several things and beings.

His creation seemed to be a weapon, a staff to be exact though its shape is quite odd. Its color was greyish with what looked like numerous tiny symbols engraved all over it.

The strangest part of the staff was its head which was shaped like a crown with several branches spreading outwards and connecting together to form that shape, it looked quite exquisite.

That's not the end of it though. The outwards branches come back after that to connected at the far top into a sharp tip, almost like a spear, and on each branch, one can notice a small vacant space, a receptacle of sorts.

"Promethium, the material suits the theme I was going for quite well, and It should be extremely difficult to destroy but I should upgrade when necessary."

Ian muttered while trailing his fingers along with the staff, feeling the clear engravings on it, "Em, exquisite. You only need a few things and you will be complete, well, several things actually."

He then eyed the two odd stones lying on a counter before him, a green stone and a red one, "You two will do until I have better... things to use instead."

He already had gloves on, so he just picked up the green Kryptonite first and brought it closer to one of the empty staff vessels while manipulating a bit of his life force into the staff.

The staff seemed to resonate with his life force. It was as if it received an order as a suction force started absorbing the Kryptonite into the vessel.

The process was slow as the staff's fuel was Ian's life force. It was also how he communicates with the staff, he made it that way specifically because that's the only way he can control it.

How much life force can Ian release at a time has a limit which made the process much more demanding and slower, and it would've been even more of a pain in the ass if he didn't spend the past two months focusing on gaining more control over his life force.

To do that of course he worked hard with Selina on their usual intimate sessions, making them much more intense much to Selina's plight... Well, she enjoyed them much more than he did so...

The green kryptonite eventually dissipated in its entirety. Instead, a cluster of green energy was formed in the staff's first vessel, and soon another cluster appeared in the second vessel, a red cluster. Its source was the newly used red Kryptonite.

Ian lifted his left arm in which he was holding the staff and admired the final result of his work, the exquisite work of art, "Staff Of All things you shall be Named."

Soon the staff disappeared into one of the black rings on his hand, indeed, rings. Not one, not two, but five of such space rings... Just how? How many demons did he scam? How much hatred was he accumulating by the second? How many enemies was he making in hell without taking a step in it? He wasn't done just yet.
