《Harem Tournament of Champions》
Chapter 1 6969 Harem Awaiting A Verdict
[Wee Host]
A monotone voice spoke.
"Host, who''s a host?" the man questioned in confusion.
"Lord Hisha." says a man with a respectful tone, he is tall and got a slender body, a handsome face and almost a perfect jaw line, his nose sharp and his posture straight as a butler. He then clears his throat when he noticed that his lord was still dozing off, "ahem ahem."
"Who? Argh!" the man growled in pain that made him drop to the ground while holding his head. ''The name is right that was me but I''m not a lord'' he thought with a confused tone.
''Who the hell are you referring to as Lord? I''m Hisha Fang! I work at a record store!'' He protested angrily in his thoughts.
Thest thing he remembered was watching several people passing by the window before he slept on his desk because of boredom.
''Lord... hmm that sounds just about right.'' He held a smirk to his thoughts.
Raising his head, his attention was drawn to his hands, he was taken aback by the veins that bulged on the back of his tanned palm.
''Muscr arms?!'' He freaked out which makes his eyes bulge at the sight.
Looking down at his clothing, it was far from the simple striped shirt and jeans trousers he usually wore on a good day.
Instead of a shirt, he was staring at his rock-hard abs¨Cshirtless. A gold chain with an onyx stone hung loosely on his neck. The only piece of clothing on him was a pair of ck fitted pants tucked into a high ck heeled ankle boot.
Looking behind him, he saw the backrest of a golden throne, the very one this body he was in was sitting on.
''What the heck?!'' Hisha screams in shock as he feel his face, and the outline of his jaw.
His eyes finally darted to the one who had called on this strange body which shared the same name as he did.
"My lord?" The same voice called on his attention in a strong air of respect and formality.
He had dark brown hair styled in a windswept manner with longer bangs that hang to the right side of his face which fades to amber brown at the ends and has a pale skin with an unusual expressionless face.
Wearing a a beige dress shirt, a brown and amber vest, slim ck pants, ck dress boots, and ck gloves with. Most notably wearing a long, dark brown tailcoat with dragon scale patterns, gold and silver ents, golden tassels.
''A butler perhaps?'' Hisha wondered, but there was something about his eyes that didn''t fit right with the description.
Hisrge red glowing eyes stared at Hisha, probably waiting for an answer to what he had said.
''Go with the flow, you dimwit!'' Hisha scolded himself.
"What is it..." He paused in his speech, realizing he didn''t know how to address this person.
"Kritz, my lord." He helped out.
"That''s right," Hisha replied immediately. Dismissing the help Kritz had unintentionally rendered to solve one mystery.
The environment looked oddly strange, there were no cars, no tall structures spanning out as he looked out at the open sand-covered field.
''Open field? What am I doing sitting here?'' Hisha tilted his head in confusion.
Instinctively, he leaned forward to have a look at what was below the high rise his chair was ced on.
"What the hell?!" Hisha did a double-take on therge crowd of females standing in the arena, all looking bashful and timid upon making eye contact with him.
''Is this some sort of beautiful dream?'' Hisha''s lips curved into a smile at being graced with this sight.
"Kritz, tell me, why are those beautiful women just standing idle?" Hisha leaned back on his throne, throwing his feet over the right armrest.
He noticed Kritz looking at him with brows raised and his eyes narrowed at Hisha.
"They are part of your harem waiting for your verdict, lord Hisha." He replied with a slight bow.
"Hare¨C!" Hisha choked on his words, springing to his feet.
"How many are they?" He questioned through gritted teeth, his eyes scanning below him, trying to count on his own while Kritz prepares to give me an estimate.
"Six thousand nine hundred and sixty-nine, my lord." Kritz cut in.
"Six thou¨C" Hisha swallowed hard, refusing to believe what he had just heard.
''How could this body have this much? What could they possibly want my verdict for?'' Hisha''s eyes darted about the numerous women.
"What verdict?" He turned his attention towards Kritz.
Yet again the same suspicious eyes were given to his question.
Raising his chin, he couldn''t care less what this Kritz butler thought of his lord at this point.
Being clueless about all that went on before he had mysteriously transmigrated here and in this body would leave him wanting answers as any normal person would.
Letting out a sigh, Kritz shook his head before he attempted to answer, "the deration you made to pick only the best out of the strong and beautiful women of thend of Kurg."
''What the heck do I need that much for?'' Hisha staggered back.
"Let me guess," He chuckled slightly on ount of how they all dressed in revealingbat clothes.
On second thought, he observed the open space. The field littered with weapons, destruction, and carnage did look like the Roman arenas where contests could be held.
"They are here for some tournament." Heughed at his joke.
"That is right, my lord." Kritz nodded in agreement.
"They await your verdict on the previous tournament." He continued, turning his attention towards the open field with his hands sped behind him.
Chapter 2 Heated Glares
Beep!
[Host, I am your system known as HTC, wee to the desire system. It''s time to let go of the weak 3 of the lot]
Looking at the weird game-like translucent window which appeared in front of him.
''Weak?'' Hisha questioned what he heard in his thoughts and saw.
Looking over to Kritz in confusion, His mouth opened, then closed as he contemted asking if Kritz could see what he was seeing.
Kritz looked his lord''s way, sensing his attention was needed.
When Kritz disyed no reaction whatsoever that could show he could see what Hisha was currently witnessing, he let out a sigh of relief.
''I''m the only one who''s hallucinating, got it!'' His lips drew into a thin line.
"Lord Hisha, 3 needs to be eliminated," Kritz whispered through the corner of his mouth.
Hisha''s mouth gaped slightly open at the simrities between his words and the translucent screen that had appeared before.
''Why eliminate them, what are they fighting for?'' He wondered in confusion, all these didn''t make any sense to him.
"By eliminate, you don''t mean eliminate in that kind of sense, right?" He curiously questioned.
Considering the era, those words sounded more dangerous than they were supposed to be to Hisha.
''If it was some reality show, then this would make a whole lot of sense.'' Hisha reasoned.
Kritz raised a brow at his lord''s question once again, slightly disturbed by the question posed to him.
Slowly approaching Hisha, Kritz had his brows furrowed.
Hisha had to hold his ground and not stagger back to this slightly suspicious male.
''I am the lord here, I can''t be intimidated.'' He said trying to pull himself together before his resolve dies out.
"My lord, are you feeling well?" Kritz whispered, his eyes examining Hisha at a quick pace, then back to his face.
"I''m feeling a bit unwell due to theck of sleep, could we postpone this?" He faked a yawn and looked down at the females once again.
The clear frown on Kritz''s face made him reconsider his actions.
''This body doesn''t smile? Or was it something else I had said?'' Hisha facepalmed at how stupid he felt.
Clearing his throat and putting on a stern face, "I can handle this."
Kritz moved to the side as Hisha walked past him.
Taking a deep breath, Hisha made a mental note of what he was going to say to the women below.
"I appreciate all your effort to participate in this tournament, this would be pushed a few days before I make the first decision."
"As you wish, lord Hisha!" They all chorused in the most heavenly harmonious voices he had heard in such a long time.
His lips raised in a smirk, thinking back to his world where the females wouldn''t even look his way, let alone speak to him except for his best friend who had friend-zoned him.
''Ha! Who''sughing now?!'' He thought happily.
The doors opened, to enable their exit from the arena.
In an orderly manner, they filed out in one hundred and one rows.
As soon as the door shut, he turned towards Kritz whose brows were knitted. It looked like he was conflicted about something¨Cpreferably his lord''s decision on postponing the tournament, but unwilling to go against his order.
"My Lord, don''t you think that it''s unwise to push this?" A male''s voice cut in as he walked up the stairs to meet Hisha.
Looking to his right, he had not taken to ount that there might be another male apart from Kritz who could speak to him in such a way.
It was a male, he had messy green hair with bangs hanging right under his chin, he wore a sleeveless ck overcoat seamed with gold hemlines over a leafy green robe with a ck cor and sash. ck pants and a pair of dark brown boots oveid with criss-cross patterned ck ribbons.
Beep!
[Congrattions host, so not to be as stupid as you can be in this world, you have been granted ''Character Status'']
''Stupid? Granted by whom?!'' Hisha frowned upon the words that echoed in his thoughts as he read along with the translucent screen.
[Name: Rean Dru]
[Height: 175cm]
[Position: Warlord]
''Not too bad,'' he rubbed his chin, this is all he needed to quickly ce a name and their role here.
''Warlord huh?'' He nodded his head to the useful information.
In a bid to keep up his presumptuous outlook, he raised his chin and had a stoic expression and immediately noticed the smug look on Rean''s face.
''Definitely up to no good.'' Hisha deduced as he gave another thorough body scan and unintentionally let out a scoff.
A chill ran down his spine, someone was giving off a deadly aura from behind him.
Looking back, Kritz stood straight, not saying a word. He was back to having an expressionless face. Underneath all of that, Hisha could feel a suppressed rage towards Rean.
He could only guess they had some sort of feud going on as they tactfully shared heated res at one another.
"My lord,'' Rean bowed.
Hisha nodded to his gesture, imploring him to state what he needed out of his lips.
"This is foolishness, my lord, wouldn''t it be wise to continue with the tournament? The harem would be strengthened if they know the consequences of being the weak li¨C"
Boom!
''What in the world?!'' Hisha crossed his hand over his eyes from the debris that flew in the air.
A cloud of smoke engulfed the area.
Opening his eyes and lowering his hands, he was quick enough to notice the flying debris that had flown in his direction suspended in the air before dropping to the ground.
''I got powers?'' He gawked at the fallen debris for a brief second.
Bam!
Bam!
His attention was drawn toward the sound of a groan and blows.
The dust gradually settled, revealing Kritz sitting on Rean''s stomach. He had his left hand holding Rean by the cor, and his right hand raised, knuckles covered in blood and going right down for another strike.
Bam!
"Never question our lord ever again, you low life!" Kritz yelled in rage, his red eyes glinted and glowed as he gave a series of punches to Rean''s face.
Hisha''s eyes widened at the sight, it would turn out that he was right about these two.
''How the hell does my butler beat up a warlord?!'' He panicked and took a step back, unsure of what would happen to him in this world.
"My lord," Kritz''s voice stopped Hisha from taking another step backward.
"What should I do about this low life?" He sneered at Rean as he spoke.
His expression switched from disdain while looking down pathetically at Rean at his mercy, to stoic as he requested Hisha''s opinion on his next action.
Chapter 3 Resist Getting Laid
Hisha''s eyes stared at Rean, then at Kritz. He wondered how a warlord could be called low life. How weak could he be inparison to his butler-like minion?
''Just what are you, Kritz?''
[Host, do answer so you save both our faces]
''How dare you mock me, HTC?!'' Hisha internally made a strangling gesture on the system''s notification.
Caught in a dilemma, he stared, unable toe up with the right words.
[Go with your guts, you dimwit!]
Following through with advice, he voiced his thoughts. "Do away with his existence, his disrespect needs to be treated ordingly. If a warlord can''t maintain his position, he''s of no use to me."
Kritz''s smile turned dubious at his lord''s answer. "With pleasure, my lord."
Stepping on Rean''s arms, Kritz pulled back on his arms, his red eyes burning with excitement as he ripped out both arms.
"Aaaak! Aaahhh!!" Rean yelped in an ear-piercing scream, writhing in pain.
"I am not done yet," Kritz''s voice turned sinister as he wrapped his hand around Rean''s head.
Hisha had a stoic expression while watching, trying to prove much of his thoughts were in control and putting to practice what he had seen those in such power and minions act in such a gruesome situation.
Deep down, he was screaming for it to stop, the sight made my insides churn but the physical stomach hadn''t responded to his thoughts. It could only mean whatever he was witnessing wasn''t as rare as he thought it would be.
''Just who the hell are you, Hisha?'' he questioned, looking at his body once more, before regrettably looking back at the gruesome sight.
Applying enough force, Kritz pulled Rean''s head off his body.
''Fuck! What the hell?!'' Hisha winced.
Blood gushed out from the severed limbs and head, inevitably dropping down in a pool of his blood.
The rolled head which had dirt, and blood, all muddled together in a paste covered the entirety of the face.
"I am sorry my lord for being so messy. I was overwhelmed with rage at how disrespectful he was to you." Kritz licked the blood on his hand clean.
Looking down at his body, he hissed in anger at the blood stains on his shirt.
''Are you sure it was just that?'' Hisha had wanted to question, the previous exchange of res between the two didn''t go unnoticed, but it was best to simply raise his brows instead of the answer.
"It is time to leave? I would need to..."
[Don''t you dare say rest, you haven''t rted with the first batch of your harem!!]
''First batch? How many are they in a batch?'' he panicked at the information.
His eyes widened at the sound of HTC bicker in his head and the words appearing in front of him.
"My lord?" Kritz called out, unsure if he could continue. "You had wanted to request something."
[I watch your every move and action, host!]
''That is oddly creepy and disturbing, why the heck are you assigned to me?'' Hisha narrowed my eyes, unintentionally causing Kritz to look down timidly.
"I apologize for questioning your actions." He gave a slight bow.
Realizing he was just mistaken, the re wasn''t directed at Kritz, but rather at the invisible interface that popped up whenever HTC advised or gave a nasty remark.
''That doesn''t matter anymore." Hisha waved the issue aside with the wave of his hand.
He needed to trust HTC on this, it had already proven that it could be trusted to a degree. This was his chance to get to see why he needed to know what rtion with his harem meant.
[Codename: Meretrix one]
"Lead the way to the meretrix one." He ordered.
Kritz had a big smile on his face the moment he heard his lord order the statement. This proved to him that his lord was finally epting the arrangements that had been put in ce.
"As youmand, Lord Hisha!"
[Congrattions host, you have been awarded the stats log]
''What is a stats l¨C''
[Such a stupid host!]
The voice of HTC clicked its tongue and refused to answer his question, this only triggered Hisha''s suppressed anger at such disrespect.
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 999]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: ??]
[Sux: 1000/1000]
[Meretrix: unounted]
[Points: 0]
[Exp: 0]
[Total number of your harem: 6969]
Hisha''s eyes were glued to the number of harems¨Cthat was a crazy figure for just one person.
''This body should be the bane of so many single males out there.'' Hisha chuckled, shaking his head.
Considering the level he was in, it was another shocking feat for someone who probably didn''t do anything, with Kritz ever-present and ready to do his bidding.
''What''s Sux?'' Hisha raised a brow to the strange word.
[Congrattions on your first sensible question]
Hisha narrowed his eyes at the sarcasticment, but let it go over his head.
[That is what you could call the baseline energy of all who possesses an ability. The higher the Sux, the longer the use. Once the Sux is exhausted, a user would need to replenish lost energy to use it once more]
Hisha nodded his head to the information.
''HTC, what''s the exp for? I''ve got enough leveling tost for a while, don''t you think?'' He pointed at the exp bar.
Kritz looked behind him, narrowing his eyes at his lord''s strange behavior but said nothing. Focusing more of his attention on leading the way.
[Finally, another sensible question. You get exp points when your meretrix is satisfied,pleting a task, or making your harem stronger than they are currently]
[All you need is 69 points for your level up to perfection]
HTC snickered in his head, a devilish smirk of an emoji stered at the end of the sentence.
''And my ability? That''s somehow obstructed, why can''t I ess it?'' Hisha pointed out.
[Your body and umted ability differentiate you from your subjects. The mere sight of another person''s ability is enough to gain and use such ability at will, therefore it is impossible to allocate just one single ability to you]
''Great, just great. I got an ability even I can''t put a name to, yet?'' He frowned.
"My Lord, we are at meretrix one." Kritz stopped at the doorpost, pushing in the door and moving out of the way to let him see whom he would be dealing with.
"Alright." Hisha nodded in acknowledgment.
With a final bow, Kritz ran away like he had seen a ghost.
Looking behind him for a while until Kritz was out of sight, stepping in, the door mmed shut automatically.
Click!
His eyes widened, dumbstruck by the barely d beautiful women. They were all dressed in a transparentce mesh thin underwear set with short hollow-out panties and an adjustable shoulder strap triangle cup bra.
Taking a nce at all of them, the variety of colors of their matching sleepwear, and the varying cup sizes of those busts were a delightful mix to feast his eyes.
They all looked ready to devour him, as a mischievous grin graced most of their lips.
[Meretrix: 69]
''Looks like this would be my lucky day.'' Hisha rubbed my hands in mischief, ready to finally see what this body could achieve.
[Task: Resist gettingid]
[Duration: till the cock crows in the morning]
Chapter 4 Cant Stop The Fun
[14:57:00]
[Exp: 0]
''HTC, I swear to my creator that you would be dead if this is real.'' Hisha frowned at the timer suspended over his head.
[You can''t kill me, I am just the best guide you could ever get, set to help you reach the pinnacle of perfection in this world]
"My lord..." A sultry voice from ady spoke up.
[Meretrix 01-1]
Hisha''s eyes took in the floating stats above her head, this was quite better than trying to figure out their names.
She had her ck hair tied in a loose bun, bangs framing the side of her face and some falling onto her nose.
Looking a little different from the others with the bunny ear head gear fastened on her head with a headband and purple transparent gloves.
''The mistress of this group, perhaps?'' Hisha tilted his head, deep in thought as she looked more confident in herself than the majority who looked timid or reluctant to approach him, if not regretful for some reason.
Swaying her curvaceous hips, she took careful steps as she approached him barefooted, shaking her voluminous bust so it jiggled for his enjoyment¨Cthis did work in her favor as he got hooked immediately.
Tik!
His eyes tore away from her cleavage as he took a nce at the timer.
[14:50:00]
''How is this remotely possible?'' He wondered as the female merely stood a few feet away from him.
The others looked at her, skeptical about her approach to the unforgiving overlord.
The majority of them had reasoned that since he had never had a femalepanion by his side, he must have never been interested in their gender and had been so cold to any that had tried in the past.
Ever since the announcement that spread across thends, they had been ecstatic about gaining the right to be hispanion and would stop at nothing to be the one true mistress.
On the other hand, some sat frozen on the floor and some on the bed. Meeting with him personally had a different feel from what they had imagined while staring at the embodiment of a perfect mate from afar.
They had readily allowed Zui to approach the overlord, making her the first out of the whole others who should test out the waters.
Latching her hands on his right arm, she deliberately pressed her bust on him.
"Lord Hisha, please do take good care of me." She said with a wink, brushing her hand over his crotch.
''Nice try!'' He snickered in his thoughts.
His gaze fell at her cleavage and barely visible nipples from the transparent night dress that stood erect, creating creases all converging to that point.
''What''s the point of having a nightdress if I can still see through it?'' He wondered, shaking his head at how useless the piece of clothing was.
The feeling of being approached first felt entric. He wasn''t the unknown nobody anymore that could be ignored.
To get the best out of this task and level up, he needed to follow through with what HTC had exined earlier.
His task was as simple as it could go. There were 69 in the meretrix, which would mean he need just a point from every one of them so he could level up.
''I can do this, this shouldn''t be too hard, all it said was not to getid, it never forewarned not to have some fun.'' He tried to console himself with those words.
Tik!
[14:35:00]
Grabbing a hold of her left boob, he squeezed it, fondling it with all joy, mesmerized by how soft and squishy her beautiful mound was in his broad palm.
This would be the first time he would be granted such a privilege of touching such a beautiful art piece, it had surpassed all he had ever thought about how it felt if he ever got the chance to touch one.
She moaned to the feeling, pushing forward and onto him.
[Exp +1]
Immediately he was able to confirm that he could use this technique on them. He had readied his mind on how to pass the time the best way he could while still enjoying the process.
''A win-win!''
For once in his life, he was confident that he could fully aplish a task given to him.
Leaning towards her, he whispered a few pick up lines I had read from my favorite collection of fentai.
She giggled in response to his words.
[You need to concentrate on others too, or do you feel your current level is too good for you that you consider the others useless?]
''HTC...'' Hisha yelled in his thoughts in anger about the disturbance. The constant jump in on his actions and giving sarcastic remarks would reach its boiling point.
[...]
''You should only pop up if you have something upbuilding to say. But if not, HTC, go fuck yourself!'' He snapped.
He could hear a gasp which was followed by a sad emoji before the user interface closed and he was left with a clear representation of who he wanted to be his next target to pass the time.
Turning his attention towards the rest, they looked more open to an approach after what they witnessed Zui engage in with their lord.
[Meretrix 01-15]
He was more than happy to be approached by yet another bold female.
She slowly crawled towards the edge of the bed, her bust touching the bed and slightly pushed up.
He had never paid much attention before, but the moment she bit down on her purple lips, his eyes took in every detail on her skin. Her natural appearance includes faint purple skin, blonde wavy hair, and yellow eyes.
The first thought that came to his mind was that there were aliens in this world due to her unusual skin tone.
She looked at every ounce of beauty underneath all the strangeness that he felt.
She looked more like she was struggling to keep her charade of being in control of her emotions and meet up with Zui''s fire.
Taking the initiative this time around, he closed the gap between them when he pulled her by the waist and closer to himself.
Tik!
[14:25:00]
Acting on impulse, he greedily took her lips in his, shocking her by how quickly things escted.
This was the only action he had ever done and practiced with his best friend at the store.
She had begged him for kissing tutorials, hoping to sharpen her skill with a male she wasfortable with.
Although he had found it weird at the time, it had been one of the best decisions he had made. His first kiss was stolen at that point but it was all worth the experience with the girl who he had a crush on since the moment he applied for a job in the store.
Tik!
[14:15:00]
[Exp +1]

...
His eyes widened to the number of notifications popping up in his feed. Pulling away from the kiss, his mouth gaped open at the number of exp he had acquired throughout an eleven minutes duration, coupled with the sight before him.
Chapter 5 A Lustful Immortal
[Exp: 56]
He was shocked that he had gained so much just by doing nothing?
Thedies that had been affected by his little show all disyed signs of their desire increasing by the second, this had sparked a chain reaction for Hisha''s exp.
[Meretrix 01-01]
Zui walked back to Hisha, her hands around his neck. She had noticed how the others had reacted to such a show that was given.
"My lord, how about we give them a show that they are bound to remember?" Zui whispered into his ears boldly.
Skeptical about what she nned on doing, Hisha narrowed his eyes and shook his head. He would not be tricked by her cunning offer. Rather than go at it again with her, he would rather go on with another.
Scanning the surrounding area for another, he caught sight of a female withyered blonde hair which almost fully covers a small and oval-looking face. Clear hazel eyes, set innocently within their sockets, watching him timidly. Her fair skin gracefullypliments her nose and mouth and leaves a captivating memory of her body on full disy.
She wasn''t like the rest, she rubbed her shoulders, her other arm crossing over her bust, trying to cover herself up. She looked unsure and somewhat pure.
Hisha wondered how she had been chosen to be one of his harems and had tried to participate in the tournament.
[Host, do not be fooled by such innocent looks, look underneath the soft exterior]
Not understanding what HTC had said, he dismissed the warning, walking over to her.
Stretching out his hand, he pulled her up from the bed. Pulling her by the waist, feeling her hand still trying to obstruct them.
Tik!
[14:05:00]
"Could you trust me?" He whispered, feeling her tremble slightly in his grasp.
Nodding her head, she lowered her arms, giving him full ess to pulling her closer to him.
Her bust pressed onto him. He looked down at her, his brows raised at the poking feeling he felt on his chest. Pulling away slightly, he took into ount the fact that her nipples were the culprit.
A behavioral change coursed through his body, feeling her body heat. He couldn''t understand why this was happening but he instinctively pulled her closer.
Her face and body turned slightly red to the stare from Hisha. She had tried to maintain her ability for as long as she could, but his mesmerizing green eyes that pierced through her thwarted her ns.
"Sra, a little easy on the heat, would you? We are still interested in our lord''s health." Zui cautioned, rolling her eyes.
''Health you say? More like your lord''s body.'' Hisha snorted in irritation at the subtle way her words were tailored.
Sra heated up in embarrassment upon hearing those words. She couldn''t hold his gaze anymore, he had noticed her weird ability and like the others would push off her before he got burnt.
[Ability detected: ze]
[Pairing in progress]
[Replicationplete]
Hisha narrowed his eyes, he could finally understand what HTC had said about his ability, this had just given him a clue on what he could call his.
''HTC, henceforth, my ability is called replicate.''
Beep!
Beep!
[Ability: Replicate]
Sra was shocked that he could withstand the heat she produced unintentionally. "I... I..."
Her words were hushed with a hand to her lips by Hisha. "You don''t need to apologize, I can handle the heat."
The other meretrix watched with gaped mouths at how gentle he was with Sra.
Going as nned, he needed to keep in mind the mission, he was d that he had managed to kill a few birds with just a sloppy kiss with meretrix 01-15.
All he needed to do was be spontaneous as he worked his way with Sra.
Tik!
[13:55:00]
Raising her legs to his waist, he let her feel the bulge in his pants by pressing in on her covered crotch.
She let out a moan to the action, "mmmm!"
The heat was spreading all around the room as he ground onto her, temporarily not being in control of his actions.

''HTC, what''s happening?'' Hisha called in a panic, noticing his hands reaching out for her waistband.
If this continues, there is no way he would be able to carry out the mission given to him.
[Reconstruction in progress]

[70% loading...]
[100% loading...]
[Reconstructionplete]
Hisha''s hands stopped just in time.
The surrounding area stilled as Hisha looked around in confusion.
[Ability: Time maniption]
''I didn''t issue that.'' Hisha protested with a frown.
[This is an automatic procedure, this allows you to freely converse with me without looking crazy]
Hisha hummed at the logical exnation, satisfied with the answer, he needed the question he had asked earlier answered.
[There was a glitch in the system, the original host''s lust had been triggered, and had tried to take matters into his own hands]
Hisha internally facepalmed at the new information, he felt stupid for thinking he could fully be in control of the body he possesses.
[Lord Hisha was a lustful immortal who had to satisfy his urges somehow. Do not expect your virgin self to amount to such an experience. Only when you do surpass his, can you fully be in control of this body when situations like this ur]
''A load of bullshit, but I''ll take your word for it.'' Hisha narrowed his eyes, wishing to continue from where he stopped.
There were just seven more exp he needed to level up, curious to know what surprises that would bring for him.
Immediately after his time maniption was deactivated, everything resumed as they were meant to. They all reacted as if nothing had happened.
His hand was still on her waistband. Pulling her in for a kiss, he fondled one of her boobs, feeling the heat that radiated from her crotch as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

Chapter 6 Three Times Bigger
''Yes.'' He replied in his thoughts with a smirk.
Beep!
[You have been granted the slumber vial]
[Using this vial would put your target in a deep sleep for 12 hours]
[Would you like to proceed?]
[Y/N]
Hisha''s eyes spanned across the women, knowing full well it was hard enough to survive through the mission with their desire stirred, it was best he would make use of the vial.
Affirming his answer, he took a step back as a blue mist materialized, dispersing at a great speed around the room.
Sra''s vision began to dim. "My lord, there''s¨C"
Unable to coordinate her thoughts, she dropped to the ground.
Thud!
The others let out a gasp.
Zui forced her legs to move forward and towards Hisha, only to be stopped mid-way as her body trembled slightly.
Thud!
Hisha looked down at the two beauties before him, sleeping on the floor.
The others had dozed off a few seconds before Zui had dropped to the floor.
Tik!
[13:45:00]
Hisha looked at the timer, mentally making note of the fact that before they woke up, it would have been morning the next day. He would need to be wary of them during the one hour left.
''Now what?'' He questioned in confusion, his lips drawing to a thin line.
He moved over to a chair at the corner of the room, sitting cross-legged, his cheek resting on his hand supported on the armrest.
[Now you wait, that''s the least you could do. Or just sleep, that''s another better option]
HTC snickered in his head, knowing how dangerous that would be for his host.
''You were meant to be smart and calctive, not stupid, HTC.'' Hisha pointed out with a raise of his brow.
A shrugging emoji of a fox appeared in front of him, causing him to narrow his eyes.
''You got your personality right at the least, you sneaky, cunning fox!'' He snorted.
Looking over at the females, they all slept in an ufortable position.
He couldn''t excuse the fact that Zui and Sra were the most unfortunate, having dropped to the ground in such a manner.
The others all slept on one another like fallen dominos. He shook his head at how little the skan King-sized bed was inparison to their sheer number. A good number of them dozed off on the bamboo flooring on which they had sat.
Counting the number of those on the floor, they amounted to thirty-four who was on the floor. His attention was drawn to the bed, they were all crowded on it, it looked like a pack of fish fitted into a sardine can.
His guess was they were in a better position while they sat than when they were forcefully put to sleep.
''Why would a man be assigned this number of females for one night?'' He wondered, shaking his head at how disturbing it felt.
Tik!
[13:35:00]
Looking above him, the blue mist clouded the gypsum board ceiling, keeping its hold on the females below.
Feeling guilty for the condition he had put them in, he got to his feet, rubbing his hands together as he prepared to act on a decision he hade up with.
''HTC, what''s the limit to this ability of mine?'' Hisha inquired with a smile, hoping he wasn''t wrong about what he nned on doing.
[Not seeing the ability in action?]
HTC sounded confused by the question asked, but answered anyway. Curious about his host''s intention.
''Was there a chance where he had conjured things up?'' Hisha rubbed his chin, waiting for the user interface to write out the words from HTC.
[Yes, there was and still is]
''Great!'' Hisha pped his hand happily.
He focused his attention to the right, there was just the right space for him to carry out his ns.
[What do you n on doing with that? I hope it isn''t stupid?]
Cross popping veins made their way on Hisha''s head to the words of HTC.
''Really? Is that how you think of me?'' Hishained.
[...]
He couldn''t take how his system kept on nagging and nitpicking on his every action.
Shaking his head and knowing the answer, Hisha made an effort to calm his thoughts.
''You would regret your choice of words one day, HTC.'' He clicked his tongue and focused on what he nned on doing.
[Ability: Materialization]
[With an ability that requires energy being seen, 2 Sux is exhausted every minute]
''That''s fine by me.'' Hisha shrugged, the notification could not scare him from what he nned on doing.
Tik!
[13:25:00]
Rubbing his hands together, a sphere of white energy materializes in his palm as he closes his eyes concentrating on what he wanted to create, moving his hands and creating a rectangle.
Materializing from the energy was a wooden bed frame three timesrger than the skan King-sized bed with memory foam on it. Making sure the foam was raised at the sides to prevent any from rolling down.
Deactivating his ability he let out a relieved sigh.
[6 Sux exhausted]
Ignoring the notification, he smiled upon his creation, happy about the size of the room that made it possible to amodate such arge bed, this made him wonder what his room looked like.
''Three times bigger perhaps?'' he rubbed his chin.
[You do know that you could have just ordered your servants to bring in another bed]
HTC''s voice cut in on Hisha''s thoughts, as it deadpanned. Putting a facepalm emoji at the end of the sentence.
Hisha froze upon the words of HTC. Refusing to own up to his actions, he defended; "it feels much better to do so myself."
[R...ight, if you say so, stupid host!]
HTC coughed on thetter part, putting up a devil emoji.
Ignoring HTC, he approached Zui, scooping her from the floor. He stared at her sleeping form in his hand before cing her carefully on the bed.
Turning around he proceeded to do the same for Sra. In his arms, her body temperature had returned to normal and she was sucking on her hand.
"What a big baby." He chuckled, cing her beside Zui. Tearing his gaze from how cute that action was.
''Now, unto the others.'' His gaze fell on the cluster of females on the skan King-sized bed and the floor. ''This is going to take a while.''
Chapter 7 Where Are They?
Tik!
[08:05:00]
Hisha stared at the notification, his eyes devoid of every enthusiasm he once had at first.
''This sucks!'' Hisha spat, shaking his head, he couldn''t leave the room until the task was over and that meant till the cock crows.
He had carefully put the females in the right and eptable positions in his creation. Sitting for over five hours staring and waiting for the timer to stop.
''The more I stare, the longer it bes.'' Hisha mumbled, tired of everything that had happened for a day.
[Cheer up host, you have a few hours to take a nap]
HTC''s voice turned sinister with a cackle.
''Stats log.'' Hisha spoke in his thoughts.
[Finally, this stupid host is less stupid now]
Popping up on the translucent screen was the log alongside HTC''s monotonous voice.
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1000]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 994/1000]
[Meretrix: 1]
[Points: 0]
[Exp: 0]
[Total number of your harem: 6969]
''Every time I level up with 69 exp points it reverts to 0, huh?'' Hisha requested confirmation of his hunch on the subject.
[That is correct]
HTC affirmed with a smiley face at the end of the message on the user interface.
Nodding his head to the information, he was d he was able to level up. His attention was drawn to the luminous moon that cast its light through the partly opened curtain.
''HTC, do you think all of this is a good idea?'' He let out a sigh, resting his cheek on his hand.
Getting no response whatsoever from HTC, he slowly began to doze off, blinking a few times to stay awake did nothing but agitate the inevitable.
His vision began to cloud as he gave into the darkness.
***
Tik!
[00:05:00]
"When is he going to be awake?" A female''s voice broke the serenity that had washed over Hisha.
''Is it morning already?'' Hisha questioned his thoughts, forcing his body upright.
"How could he sleep like that?" Another whispered to the others, confused as they stared at Hisha still on the chair, sleeping.
They had just woken up a couple of minutes ago and were surprised that they were in a better sleeping and sitting position than they had been when they awaited his arrival.
The emergence of another bed was a testimony to the fact that they had been cared for and some moved to the other for thefort of everyone.
"Lord Hisha?" Zui spoke more enthusiastically in a singsong whisper, blowing on his ck hair which had covered the shaved gap on his right eyebrow.
''What was I meant to do?'' Hisha repeated in his thoughts, his brows furrowed as he tried to recall that vital information.
All of the meretrix ones took a step back, wary of the frown he had disyed.
"You angered him, you shouldn''t have done that! Now, what do we do?!" A beady blue-eyed female cried out to Zui, pulling on her gloved hands.
"Shhh!" Zui hushed, shaking her head and clicking her tongue. "Watch!" She pointed at Hisha.
''The task! the timer!'' Hisha''s eyes shot open, immediately getting to his feet.
[Good day, you little ball of lustful sunshine!!! How do you think your night went?]
HTC greeted in an upbeat manner, chuckling in Hisha''s thoughts.
Hisha''s horror-stricken gaze fell on his pants at the words of HTC.
[You think too much, host. Be positive!]
''Be positive, my ass!'' Hisha snapped, letting out a sigh of relief at scaling through the night untouched.
[They wouldn''t dare do that to you, except given the permission]
Hisha noticed a devilish emoji with a creepy smile make its way to the screen.
''Haha, very funny.'' Hisha deadpanned with a stoic expression.
His head shot up to thedies in front of him, all having a bright smile on their faces and sharing a knowing look amongst themselves.
''Something is fishy.'' Hisha thought, narrowing his eyes at them.
The reason for such a pleasant morning was still unclear and a bit disturbing, but he gave a nod of acknowledgment to all.
They all let out a collective sigh of relief when he sat back down on the chair.
They had done nothing wrong and he suspected nothing of their little discussion while they watched him sleep so peacefully.
To maintain the facade they had put up, they would need to take his attention elsewhere, slowly they approached him once again, a mischievous glint in their eyes.
Hisha hade to realize their night dresses were more visible for him to see. Their naked bodies not being covered enough by their choice of clothing was getting to him.
''No... No... not now!'' Hisha gritted his teeth as a boner caused a bulge in his pants.
''Fuck!'' He hissed to the growing embarrassment.
"Lord Hisha, would you like to continue from where we left off?" Zui was the one who spoke up for the rest, her gaze switching from his face to his crotch and back again.
Hisha raised a brow to their hungry gaze set on his crotch.
''So it begins, huh?'' He thought with a smile.
Cockadoodledoooooo!!!
Tik!
[00:00:00]
Ding!
[1400 points allocated]
Hisha''s lips raised at the notification, this would only mean he was no longer bound by the task set earlier.
Knock!
''Really? Now?!'' Hisha internally facepalmed, refusing to take note of the knock until the person identifies.
"Lord Hisha, it is I, Kritz." The voice of Kritz could be heard on the other side of the door.
Giving a nod to Sra, he watched as she opened the door slightly, giving Kritz limited ess to view Hisha from the narrow space.
Respecting the decision of his harem, Kritz cleared his throat, "ahem ahem."
Hishaid back in his chair, wondering what could be of importance.
"My lord, the tribal chiefs are awaiting your arrival to discuss an important matter." He rted to Hisha.
The collective gasp of the females causes Hisha to reconsider turning down the offer to meet a bunch of boring lot.
Getting to his feet, he approached the door with his hands shoved into his pockets.
Sra released her grip from the door handle and took several steps back.
Pushing the door open as he stared down at Kritz. "Where are they?" He snarled.
Chapter 8 Why Didnt It Work?
Creak!
The huge golden door of the throne hall automatically pushes in upon the slight approach.
Hisha''s eyes spotted from a distance, the radiant throne of gold sitting beneath an impressively decorated red canopy and is adjoined by sixrge, but far less ornate seats for the supreme overlord''s trustees¨Ctribal chiefs.
Crossing over the threshold with Kritz following behind Hisha. The door mmed shut.
Looking behind him to understand how the door had been able to achieve such tricks, he noticed two humanoid figures stationed at each end of the door.
Their average lean white bodies stood straight. Two long arms hung at their sides and ended in graceful hands with long fingers, each with w-like nails. Their whole body covered with a blue like Sux and their huge beady green eyes glowed as they maintained the door stayed shut.
Their legs are long and are bent, each ending in small feet as they hovered three inches off the ground.
[Race: Metae]
[Height: 125cm]
[Position: Door keepers]
''So they are the cause of the automatic mechanism to the door.'' Hisha smirked at the alien-like vibes they gave.
Whipping his head back, he raised his head in pride, full of himself that these little things obeyed him, it felt nice to be in control of powerful and strange creatures.
[Would you like to use the replicate of what you''ve seen for the thousandth time? The host already possesses the skill necessary to do the same]
HTC suggested, curious about what his host could achieve with that.
''I''ll pass, that''s a total waste of my Sux, you should know that. Is this some sort of trick?'' Hisha questioned.
[It wasn''t a trick, but it was pleasantly surprising that you would reject such an offer tantly. You''re improving]
Hisha''s lips twitched uncontrobly at the supposedpliment. Underneath all of that, he could feel that HTC was merely mocking him, but let it pass by him for the sake of what he was to face in the throne hall.
The throne is covered in intricate motifs and fixed on each of the broad feet is a chiseled skull. The soft pillows are a dark viridian and these too have been adorned with emzoned tufts.
An ivory rug splits part of the room in half from the throne to midway down the hall while pointed banners with gilded tracery dangle gently from the walls.
High windows are enclosed by veils colored the same ivory as the banners. The curtains have been adorned with jewels and emzoned edges.
''Makes me think of how rich this body must be.'' Hisha snickered in his head.
[More than your generation could ever think of, obviously!]
HTC scoffed, putting up a disapproving emoji.
''Way to go adding salt to my wounds!'' Hisha deadpanned with a frown.
"Lord Hisha." The tribal chiefs got up from their decorated mezzanines overlooking the throne.
They all gave a slight bow upon noticing his approach.
[Tribal Chiefs: 7]
''Can''t be trusted.'' Hisha made a mental note, given the fact that this was the most cliche of things that happens in dramas, he refused to be easily manipted by some old jerks.
[Name: Wae Wu]
[Height: 165cm]
[Position: Chief of the werewolf tribe]
''Great! We got the werewolf!'' Hisha internally facepalmed at the sight of this male, disturbed by the eyes just like he had been with Kritz at first.
He stared into the glittering red eyes, set elegantly within their sockets of a man in his early 50s.
''Definitely older than this.'' Hisha corrected his thoughts, applying what he had known about their kind to guess his proposed age.
Scars reaching from the right side of the forehead, running towards his upper lip, and ending on his forehead leaves a stinging memory of battles fought.
His silver, straight hair slightly reveals a chiseled, tense face that held back hostility at the presence of Hisha.
Walking past them, he raised his chin, not ready to ept the character status of the rest except if they were of importance or spoke.
Climbing up to the dais, he sat on his throne, crossed his legs, and leaned back into his chair.
Hisha had his cheek leaned onto his clenched right fist with his elbow restingfortably on the armrest, supporting his face.
Kritz took his ce by the side of his lord, putting on an impudent attitude towards the tribal chiefs. He constantly shifted res from one to the other.
The tribal chiefs all shared a knowing look. Wae stepped forward. Brushing on his long-sleeved, animal skin jacket which covers him to his groin and is loosely tied with string at the left side. The sleeves of his jacket are quite wide and reach down to just above his hands, they''re decorated with a decorative gold band at the edges.
"Lord Hisha the one, supreme overlord of thend of Kurg. The ruler with absolute power, may your rule go on for another thousand years," he began, pausing to get a favorable look from his lord.
''If you think you can tter me with that little eulogy, werewolf dude you''re so wrong. I freaking hate deceit and you, Wae, I can tell from the moment I set my eyes on you that something is wrong with your aura.'' Hisha''s lips drew into a thin line at the praise, clearly unpleased by it.
Wae was left stunned by the change in demeanor, the air suddenly turned chilly.
''Why didn''t that work?'' Wae stared at the marble floor in confusion and rage, pretending to cough and clear his throat.
His fangs grew in size, eyes glowing at how he had not gotten the desired reaction he needed. The lord they knew a few days ago was always catfished by such words and this had always worked to their advantage.
''What could have happened?'' He growled in his thoughts, understanding the other tribal chiefs would also try to hide their shocked expression at this strange change.
Raising his head, he suppressed all he had disyed while obscuring his face. He forced a smile as he proceeded to speak.
"Lord Hisha, the supreme..."
"Shut it!" Hisha''s deep voice thundered, irritated by the numerous fake praises attached to every sentence that came out of Wae''s lips.
"Either you go straight to the point or you all get back to your tribes!" His green eyes glowed in rage.
Chapter 9 Betraying The Pact
Hisha''s brows creased, he couldn''t ce if this body was as gullible as a fish to be swayed by such meaningless praises, he could tell that they were merely trying to y on his emotions.
''Hisha, if you were stupid to these old geezers, you''re in luck. I would take care of these little issues that deal with brains.'' Hisha spoke to himself.
[That''s a little ironic, don''t you think, host?]
HTC interrupted with a cackle, remembering how stupid Hisha would still be without it.
''Way to ruin my cool moment!'' Hisha narrowed his eyes, cross popping veins making their way to his forehead.
Wae took a step back, frightened by Hisha''s re.
Bowing his head low, he avoided making eye contact with those gleaming green eyes.
His body trembled uncontrobly, temporarily forgetting what he had wanted to say.
"I... I..." Wae stammered.
"My lord, what Wae was trying to say isn''t something that would cause you stress." A soft and hypnotic voice spoke up among the tribal chiefs.
[Name: Frich Mer]
[Height: 167cm]
[Position: Chief of the merfolk tribe]
''Okay, another batch of crazy.'' Hisha rolled his eyes, snorting at the voice from the merman.
Frich''s silk blue jacket covered him to just above his knees and was barely buttoned up at the left side. The sleeves of his jacket are a little narrow and reach down to just above his hands, they''re decorated with several thread linings of pearls at the sleeve ends.
Pulling down his hood to reveal his fair skin which was covered with faint scale marks. He had his grey hair braided thaty perfectly on his right shoulder.
Warmvender eyes stared right back at Hisha with a little smile.
Hisha held his stare, curious about what he wanted to say.
"This is a matter of the harem at your disposal, my lord." Frich began, pausing and giving enough room for Hisha to respond.
''This is the important discussion? Because of this, I left meretrix one?!'' Hisha''s brow twitched in frustration.
He looked over to Kritz who at the same time held the gaze of his lord. Stunned that Hisha would look to him for the right words to say.
[Be natural, yet not stupid]
Hisha shook his head, resisting the urge to curse at every one of them.
"You may continue, your words would determine the right kind of words to address the issue at hand." He nodded to Frich to continue.
Wae''s shoulders drooped as he sat back down, feeling dejected and worthless. He was always the one who spoke to their lord and requested, and propose on the tribal chiefs'' behalf.
Knowing the sort of calmness Frich uses when he speaks, he could only reluctantly ept his approach as being way overdue.
''This is for the benefit of our tribe, that''s all that matters.'' Wae nodded his head to his resolve.
Frich had his lips curved into a smile, happy that he had gotten Hisha''s attention with just those words. "Our people do not have enough women to bear us offspring, so we needed to ask if you could¨C"
"Are you suggesting that I share my harem with your tribe?" Hisha''s rage only rose to the meaning of what they were trying to say.
Kritz''s eyes burned with rage, ready to do his lord''s bidding when ordered to. They had overstepped their bounds by asking such a treacherous question.
[Do not...]
''I know HTC, there is no way I would share my harem, not while they are under my jurisdiction.'' Hisha snarled in response.
Hisha was never one who loved to share the things he had. Even while he was an only child, he had never enjoyed sharing his mother''s affection with his father.
Finding himself as an oddball with the females in his world, he took this new life as a turning point. Sharing this privilege was more or less signing their death threat.
Frich flinched to Hisha''s glowing eyes, gulping and internally facepalming on how blunt he had been with his request.
"I would never do that, my lord." He quickly answered, trembling in fear.
[Total number of merfolks: 1,567,009]
[Total number of mermaids: 997,005]
Hisha''s brows raised to the information that was disyed, this had just proven false to what Frich had said earlier.
''That slippery, conniving little fish!'' Hisha gritted his teeth while in his head he rained down profanities on Frich.
Even when he didn''t know the number of mermaids in their tribe, there was something in him that felt underneath the enchanting voice of Frich, was nothing but lies.
"No, I know you meant every bit of what you propose." Hisha shook his head, his devilish grin widening as he pointed at Frich.
Frich dropped to his knees, shaking his head, his voice quaking as he said, "My lord, I was merely requesting your help in rmending our tribe to the daughters of thend."
"Liar!" Hisha barked.
The six tribal chiefs all looked the other way, obscuring their gaze of disappointment with the news and trying their best not to get affiliated with Frich.
Frich looked towards his fellow tribe chiefs, hoping that they would intercede and pull him out of the trap that he had unintentionally set for himself. "Wae, Vanas, Sa¨C"
"That''s enough!" Wae snarled, "do not mistake us for joining in on your foolishness, you dare try to put us in your mess?!"
Frich''s eyes widened at the usation. This was the very thing they had all connived as a team, certain that their lord would agree so easily as he had done in the past.
To his horror, the very people who he had trusted were turning their backs on him and pretending they had nothing to do with it in any way.
''Traitors! You shall pay for betraying the pact!'' Frich furrowed his brows in rage.
Turning his attention towards Hisha, he made up his mind to say nothing but the truth, if he was to be punished, he would bring them all down with him.
"My lord, this wasn''t just¨C"
Shluk!
Frich''s eyes widened in shock as he slowly looked down at the hand that had plunged right through his chest.
Chapter 10 Atone For Your Transgression
''What the heck?!'' Hisha hissed in his thoughts, leaning forward to the sight before him.
[Do not intervene! As someone with a status like yours, this is something you need to get used to eventually]
HTC''s cold voice forced Hisha''s body to stiffen and prevent him from acting on impulse.
''You don''t just kill a man that has valuable information!'' Hisha growled, angered that his system held him back.
If he could intervene, it would give Frich enough time to heal with his merfolk magic.
[This is the retribution he gets for going against you and joining the wrong side]
HTC hissed at Hisha when it felt him trying to go against his program.
''I don''t care about him, what I care about is the information he possesses.'' Hisha protested, slowly breaking HTC''s hold on his body by moving his fingers.
[Don''t you see the logic here, host?! If he knows and was attacked by another tribal chief, don''t you ever sit to think that Wae and the others are all part of one big scheme?]
Hisha''s eyes widened in shock to the information that was gradually sinking in.
Gritting his teeth, he let out a sigh as he gave up his initial protest, feeling his body ease up the moment he stopped fighting it.
[Now, enjoy the show]
HTC snickered in a peal of crazedughter right after putting up a devil emoji.
Blue blood seeped from Frich''s wound and trailed down his body onto the floor.
Tip!
Tap!
"You talk too much, this is why I am meant to be the representative." Wae hissed behind Frich, careful of his tone. "Your brother would take good care of the tribe."
''No! Not him!'' Frich cried in his thoughts to the news of his tyrannical twin brother taking over his position.
Frich''s vision went blurry as tears filled his eyes, forming a pearl and dropping to the ground in tiny droplets.
Biting the pain was barely an option as agonizing cramps seemed to crush his insides from within.
He couldn''t move his body, not while his blood had been corrupted with the poison-coated ws of Wae.
Cold shivers shot through his body and both hands and legs trembled slightly. He closed his eyes and tried to rx his muscles, to heal himself of the fatal wound to his chest.
The other tribal chiefs took several steps back and away from the bloody scene before them. The only one crazy enough to do this in front of their lord would be none other than Wae.
"My lord, Wae is a tr..."
sh!
Wae''s protruding ws fluidly shed on Frich''s neck, underneath his ws had part of Frich''s flesh lodged.
Frich spurt out blood from his mouth, the open flesh wound contracting and dripping with blood, stopping him from speaking any more words.
The amount of damage he had gotten from the poisoned sneak attack was too much for his body to bear.
His pupils turned a pale white with his lips darkened to a shade of navy blue.
Hisha gulped, quelling down his anger as he watched. They were barbaric creatures that he would need to get ustomed to.
''To tame the crazy, one would need to be equally crazy.'' Hisha lectured himself, making a vow not to be moved by such scenes in the future.
These tribal chiefs had officially be part of his shit list¨Ca target for extermination, right after he got all the information he needed from them in the future.
Pulling back his hand, he ripped out Frich''s hand and kicked the body off the mezzanine.
Hisha raised his hand suspending the blood from sshing on him and Kritz.
Kritz had his fangs out, a low growl could be heard from him. He was itching to attack these tribal chiefs who were up to no good.
He would me himself for interrupting his lord to meet with these treacherous people.
Hisha could feel Kritz''s urge to attack, but today was the day that he would put them in check even if it was for a while.
He had realized the host had rarely shown his strength amid his supposed trustees.
''Never again will this happen.'' Hisha boiled with rage while he narrowed his eyes at Wae.
Wae had a satisfying smirk on his lips. "My lord, the despicable tr¨C"
His words were cut short by a pull forcing him towards the throne.
In a blink of an eye, his neck was gripped by Hisha.
[Ability: Telekinesis]
Hisha''s smile only broadened the moment he saw the horrified look on Wae.
mming him into the floor in a quick motion, bits of the flooring flew into the air.
Wae coughed out blood and his body arched in response.
Hisha ced his right foot on Wae''s chest, his arm on his thighs as he stared down at him. "Who said I authorized that magnificent show you performed earlier?"
Wae''s body shook, and his teeth ttered as he tried toe up with an excuse.
Tut!
Tut!
Tut!
Hisha clicked his tongue and shook his head in disappointment at how pathetically weak Wae was inparison to him. It felt as though he was fighting with a rag doll.
He wondered if this body had been so tired ofparing everything he went up against that he left all the dirty work to his butler¨CKritz.
''The boring life of an overpowered immortal overlord.'' Hisha internally facepalmed at how the fight didn''t thrill him as much as he wanted it to be.
[Your life was boring anyway, then and now. I''m the only true spark in your life]
HTC cut into his thoughts in a singsong manner.
Hisha was finally getting a hang of ignoring HTC while in the middle of something, and right then, the something had a bloody face.
Pulling Wae by the hair, he had a wide smile. He simply stared for a while, enjoying the struggle on Wae''s face.
"You''re in luck, you and your tribe would be treated as a low-ss citizens by the rest of the other tribe until you atone for your transgression."
"Nnooo!" Wae coughed out with a groan, shaking his head to the verdict. "My lord, please that would greatly affect our tribe''s p¨C"
Hisha let go of Wae''s hair, standing back up. He red at him as he spoke, "Would you consider atoning for your transgression with your life?"
Wae frantically shook his head, forcing his body to bow head low on the floor. "Please my lord."
"As expected." He snarled, harrumphing and turning around as he walked back to his throne.
Kritz had his red eyes gleamed with admiration for his lord, he had always wanted to see him in action after such a long while and this little preview didn''t disappoint him any bit.
The other tribal chiefs murmured amongst themselves about what they had seen. This was far from the notion they had about their lord¨Can easily manipted ruler who trusted their words without questioning.
This kind of attitude in the past had given them the gall to act on behalf of Hisha to oppress the citizens. They had always thought him to always stick by them, and defend them as his trustees.
The action before them proved otherwise. They were standing in thin lines if they were to say something out of line.
With one of them gone, it was only a matter of time before Mich would take over the tribe of the merfolk in ce of his dead brother.
"Does anyone else have some other important matter to discuss?" Hisha''s voice thundered, pulling them out of their whispers.
All sharing a knowing look, they took a nce at Wae who still had his head lowered.
Bowing, they all chorused with a no.
"Leave my presence!" Hisha sneered at them.
Chapter 11 A Succubus Desire
Pinching the bridge of his nose, Hisha let out a sigh of relief the moment the tribal chiefs were out of his sight.
Easing his posture, Kritz fell face down to his lord. "I apologize for the trouble I had caused you, my lord. I had failed to shield you from trouble."
Hisha''s lips curved upwards into a smile. "Don''t look so down, it was fun to use a bit of my ability on those sneaky foxes."
Kritz raised his head at the sound of his lord''sughter, with his mouth gaping open in shock at the strange sight.
''Fuck, goddamnit! Was I meant to be cheery?'' Hisha cursed on the slip he had made.
[Rx host, you are meant tough or smile at your jurisdiction. Kritz hasn''t seen ''you'' smile in ages]
Hisha raised a brow to the words. "You may get up, only those who go against me should stoop so low."
For the first time, Kritz had a big genuine smile on his lips, getting to his feet and giving a slight bow. "Benevolent Lord, I thank you for returning to your usual self."
''What the heck previously happened to this body?'' Hisha asked curiously.
[Lord Hisha had been so gullible and carefree due to his immortality and power that he believed everything the tribal chiefs dished out and not n, nor did he take to mind what his attendant¨CKritz had tried to warn him about]
Hisha''s eyes closed the moment he had heard the words of HTC. Even though he wasn''t the one who had done such acts, he suddenly felt stupidity wash over him and guilt for treating poorly the one person who had his well-being in mind.
Kritz blinked several times as he watched his master close his eyes in thought to what he had just said.
Opening his eyes, he cast a gaze at the dead merfolk tribal chief. "Discard the trash, it reeks of fish in here." He sneered.
"As you wish, my lord," Kritz said with a smile. "A splendid guest would be arriving today."
''Another unknown? How many am I meant to meet with?'' Hisha whined in his thoughts, his lips pursed in disappointment.
[An overlord''s job is not a fun one sometimes. But you would like this one]
Hisha''s interest was piqued by the promise of HTC. If this sadistic system could assure him of this fact, he would take its word for it.
"Very well, I would look forward to it." Hisha smiled and threw his leg onto the left armrest.
***
In the ounds,
With a poption of 6,000,000 creatures consisting of beasts or humanoids and a minute number of 560,000 humans.
Bordered by a mountain to the North, desernd to the South, woonds to the East, and a cier to the West.
Straton itself is mainly covered in shallowkes and has a pr climate, which has led to a packed poption, despite the number of people, which means most of them live in other parts of Kurg.
The citizens of Straton are naturally unreceptive towards foreigners and tend to wee them with disinterest. They feel foreigners could thwart thend''s well-being.
They had naturally gone about their businesses, up until an approaching figure stepped into the busy street of Straton.
Gasp!
The citizens let out a collective gasp at an approaching beautiful foreign female walking towards the citadel.
This beautifuldy with long, ck hair and yellow pupils, looked up at the vast gate with colossal metal doors, a drawbridge, and hot oil pots that offered a warm haven within these cold, istednds.
"Perfect." The corner of her lips raised in a smirk.
Walking towards the drawbridge, she spoke out before the guards stationed at their posts could question.
"I, Alta, request to be in the presence of lord Hisha as nned." Her melodious voice called out to them.
Nodding their heads to the female below, the wooden door was covered with a ck energy which slowly pulled down the draw bridge to allow her ess.
***
Creak!
Hisha''s attention was drawn to the Metaes opening the door to let a female in.
[The guest has arrived]
''Let me guess, she''s here for some important discussion?'' Hisha grimaced, his gaze following her every approaching step towards his throne.
HTCughed at his words, then followed the guest''s character status.
[Name: Alta Sus]
[Height: 170cm]
[Position: Demoness¨CSubus]
Being a subus, Alta has the appearance between a demoness and a fallen angel with two pairs of ck wings and white horns. She wears a white long double-thigh split dress that stopped at her hip held by a gold belt fastened on her slender waist.
A plunging neckline that reveals a voluptuous mound of fair flesh jiggled and she swayed her hips as she walked up the dais with her ck open-toed heeled sandals that made a clip-clop sound.
Hisha''s heart thumped with her unrestricted approach.
''Is she part of my harem?'' Hisha gulped at the prospect.
[...]
HTC refused to respond, not until she was able to choose what side she was on.
''HTC?!'' Hisha hissed to the system, hoping to get some sort of response, but got none in the end.
He had to look towards Kritz, who showed no form of hostility towards her, instead, a smile only grew to the imminent approach to his lord.
''She''s good?'' Hisha questions with a raise of his brow.
[That''s for me to know, and for you to find out]
HTC snickered in Hisha''s thoughts, equally curious to see whose side she was on.
Alta''s glowing yellow eyes burned with desire as she spoke, "Lord Hisha, we finally meet." her melodious voice graced Hisha''s ears.
Kritz cleared his throat, hiding the mischievous grin. "I would excuse you two, my lord." He said before dashing out.
Going down on her knees and getting afortable spot to sit, she ced her head on hisp, letting out a faint humming sound as she took a nap.
[Exp: 50]
Hisha felt a surge of energy course through him, causing him to jerk slightly in response.
''What the heck was that?!'' Hisha panicked, feeling at ease the moment the surge stopped coursing through his body.
[Congrattions host, you have formed a bond with your subus. The greater the desire she has for you, the stronger you be]
''That was a huge exp point given by just one female.'' Hisha eximed in his thoughts, instinctively stroking her silky hair.
[Her desire for you is far greater than the rest of your harem but at a cost]
HTC replied vaguely.
''What cost?'' Hisha stared down at Alta.
Chapter 12 What Could Go Wrong With A Yandere?
[For every boost she gives, a corresponding Sux would be deducted as she feeds on your libido while you are awake, it would be doubled if you are asleep, so be careful of that and resist if you aren''t interested]
Hisha nodded his head to the information. There was nothing wrong with what HTC had said, a bit strange on the sleep part, but even he knew what a subus could do.
[If your Sux is exhausted and the subus is anywhere near, she would mess with your mind, inadvertently own your soul. You need both self-control and a cautious mind when dealing with her]
This news didn''t sound or look fairly as bad as he thought it was, if that was all, it would be easy to deal with it.
[Warning? Yandere]
''Huh?'' Hisha replied in confusion, his right brow raised in confusion to the warning.
[A person whose love, admiration, and devotion are so strong that it is expressed as an excessive obsession and possessiveness. They are often seen as a person that is crazy in love with someone]
''Uhh I know what it means, I was just shocked by the word popping up about her!'' Hisha grimaced at the information that was disyed on his screen, taking a brief look at thedy before him.
[Yandere has their violent side, this is expressed in things she views as threats. You would need to tame her desire if you don''t want a killing spree with your harem who are weak inparison to her strength and anyone in general who falls in the wrong category]
HTC continued with its description nheless.
Alta looked so sweet and beautiful that it was impossible to believe she was capable of such things. She had fallen asleep on hisp¨Cwhat could go wrong with such a demonic angel?
"Mmmn!" She gave a little moan, subconsciously adjusting herself on hisp. Her hand lightly stroked his crotch.
Hisha shuddered in response, biting down on his bottom lip. ''What the heck are you thinking about?!'' he hissed in his thoughts.
[Exp+3]
"Alta? You need to wake up now." He said in a whisper, stroking her hair as he spoke.
Pulling his hand away, he stared at his palm and wondered why he kept doing that without realizing it for a second.
[Your attraction to this demoness is growing due to the bonding. Beware]
Hisha gritted his teeth and stared at the screen. His anxiety level was growing to the fact that Alta wasn''t budging¨Cmeaning he couldn''t move as well.
Another moan escaped her lips and this time Hisha knew that the light stroke she had done on his crotch was an automatic process when she did the same once more.
[Exp+3]
He couldn''t let this continue, there was no way he would ept the bond without getting to know the inner person¨Cand the crazy side of her. She was not going to get any inch of his body until then.
''HTC, how do I get her to wake up, my legs are starting to numb.'' He pleaded with his system for help.
Beep!
Beep!
[...loading]
Ding!
[Fondle her lightly for your sake anyway, she would wake up and it would inadvertently increase your exp points]
''What do you mean for my sake?'' Hisha red at the screen, wary of its choice of words.
[Do you want all your Sux drained and get overpowered by her toy down with you? Then you''re in luck, go ahead if you dare]
HTC replied sarcastically, putting up a disapproving emoji at the end of its words.
Hisha narrowed his eyes but said nothing in reply, he had almost gotten used to his system''s attitude¨Cit was no surprise to the sort of response he got from it.
[Why aren''t you saying or doing anything, host?!]
Hisha was reluctant to go ahead with HTC''s advice, these women shouldn''t be treated like a button that needs to be pressed before they respond.
He already felt a bit guilty for what he had done with meretrix ones, if it weren''t the task, he would have preferred getting to know them, starting with Sra¨Cshe looked and felt warm-hearted.
Where did the part of building a rtionship first at the least, run off to?
His brows creased, his hands clenched into a fist at his side.
[WHAT ARE YOU DOING?]
HTC''s demanding voice questioned Hisha''s subconscious, the words written on the screen in full caps lock for him to know how disapproving it felt of his reluctance.
This was a chance for him to level up once more with just one female, he was 13 exp points away, why stop now?
''I refuse to be manipted in such a way, I choose when I want to do that, do you get that?!'' Hisha snapped, finally triggered by the attitude of HTC.
If he could at least get a bit of control over the body he possesses, his life would be a lot bearable to live in Kurg.
[...]
''They are women, don''t you get that? What if the real host tries to break free while my libido is increasing? What are you going to do? Reconstruct the system to suppress him again?'' Hisha yelled in his subconscious, angered by such a response from the very thing meant to guide him.
''There should be another alternative to this, why do you always think in this line? I am not a tool, do you get that?!!'' Hisha red at the nk user interface, hoping to get a response from HTC.
[I apologize for treating you like a tool, I would try to bring up alternative options in the future]
HTC replied solemnly, feeling a little guilty for the way it had been treating its host. Being a desire system wasn''t for nothing and it couldn''t help the way it would suggest things at first.
Putting up a teary-eyed emoji at the end, hoping the cuteness could get to Hisha.
Hisha''s brows gradually eased up when he felt the sincerity in the apology. He could understand that this system had never been spoken to in such a way and must feel embarrassed for getting such words dished out to it.
''It''s all in the past now.'' Hisha replied with a smile.
Going with an alternate option he had stupidly not thought of while Altaid on face and hands on hisps.
He carefully pushed Alta away from hisp, holding onto her arms so her posture wasn''t disrupted. Scooped her up in his arms and looked down the dais¨Che was finally going to get to see how his room looked.
''There is one thing I''m curious about.'' Hisha said as he walked down the dais and towards the door.
[I''m listening]
Creak!
The Metaes opened the door for their lord on his approach.
Stepping over the threshold, he paused as he looked down the hallway.
''Who or what is Kritz? And why is he so loyal?'' Hisha questioned.
Chapter 13 Pleading To The Celestials
Kritz raised his head to the sky, the dark cloud only told sad stories that would rain down its tears on thend.
Pit!
His head was forced back down on the tiny droplet of rain that dropped on his shoe.
"It''s going to rain." His voice was low and weak as he mumbled to himself.
Pat!
Tears slowly trailed down his cheek as he stared at the balcony of his lord''s room.
Forcing a smile, he let out a satisfying breath of air. ''my pleas have finally been heard by the celestial beings.''
Pit!
Pat!
Pit!
Pat!
Opening his arms wide, he anticipated the downpour¨Cthe sad tears of the sky as he would name it.
''You would rightly regain all that''s yours!'' He nodded to the resolve to be at his lord''s side when all of this is realized.
He had been a little boy dressed in a ripped coat over a wool cover that he had torn off a sheep. It was a nasty mess of stains and dirt. The right leg of his pants had been torn at the knee and the left leg was full of holes.
He had been wandering in the outskirts of the ounds¨Ca stray kid without any hope of survival, treated with scorn as a foreigner without any recollection of his family.
The constant downpour of the season was the only moment that he could use to confidently hide his teary eyes at the scorn he had endured.
No one wanted a frail and pale-looking boy with eyes that rivaled a beast, he looked nothing like the 7 beastmen tribes.
Because of this, he wore a small scarf around his neck and has it wrapped around his face in a way that covers his whole face, leaving only a little space for him to see through. It was ragged and stained but had managed to keep the smell to its barest minimum.
He had remembered pleading while looking to the sky, begging to be taken to a ce where he could find peace.
Clip!
Clop!
The sound of a horse strutting in his direction had been the turning point in his life.
It had been the day the very thing that repulsed others had been readily epted by lord Hisha and raised in the citadel.
"Peace..." Kritz recalled, feeling the downpour on his face mask the tears that flowed uncontrobly.
He had always tried to be the anchor to his lord, feeling they were simr in some way.
Lord Hisha had no family, nor did he know who they were, he had worked his way up the rank of the once anarchicalnd of Kurg.
Established order and ruled over all that inhabits his territory. He had buried deep within him the hurt, the pain he once felt toward everyone, and had created amunity where creatures and humans can thrive.
He had always wondered how he had been able to stomach all his loneliness before he could get to where he was now.
''How times have changed.'' Kritz shook his head to the memory.
He had vowed never to make his lord feel such loneliness and had been d he was finally taking the step to gettingpanions who could give him thefort, the family he wouldn''t be able to achieve on his own.
Looking across the stationed post at every door were two guards.
Their blue jacket perfectly wrapped around their body. It had an intricate, but subtle id pattern, giving the jacket a stylish casual look.
The 6 buttons of their double-breasted jacket are all buttoned up, giving them a sophisticated look fit for the guards of the Supreme overlord.
"Would you look at that?" One of the guards nudged the other on the side to get his counterpart''s attention.
He had white, short hair almost fully covering a chiseled, wild face.
Expressive brown eyes, set charmingly within their sockets, watched his counterpart in mischief.
"What now, Gad?!" The second guard snapped in irritation.
The downpour drowned his words.
"What did you say, Loid?!" Gad yelled back enthusiastically, the raise of his lips leaving a bittersweet memory of his fortunate adventures.
''Exactly what I was trying to point out, you dimwit!'' Loid deadpanned in his thoughts.
Golden, well-groomed hair tight in a ponytail reveals a furrowed, displeased face. Piercing green eyes narrowed at Gad to the disturbance he had just gone through.
Gad had a grin, finally understanding why Loid was acting all cranky. Inching closer to Loid, he unintentionally gave him an uneasy feeling.
"If you take any step closer, I would crush your bones from the inside. Either you speak at your station or don''t speak at all!" Loid threatened, spiral white energy raised from his palms forming the shape of a bone he intended to break.
Gulp!
Gad nodded his head andplied with the advice. Rubbing his palms, his hands cupped like a person begging for alms and spoke for a few seconds into it.
Loid raised a brow at his counterpart''s action but said nothing as he waited for what tricks he had up his sleeves.
Raising his head, he had a dubious smile that instantly made Loid regret the little chit-chat they were having.
Opening his palm, a transparent fluid-looking slime hovered in the air and moved closer to Loid.
Loid felt he was about to lose his lunch having to witness his counterpart''s disgusting ability.
"Is that..." Loid paused, pinching the bridge of his nose as he continued. "your saliva?"
Gad nodded his head, "a clear and better way to convey my thoughts without going closer, isn''t that great?!"
Loid''s eyes widened in horror at the floating saliva, his regret only doubled as he had forgotten one of the weird perks of Gad''s ability.
His eyes followed Gas''s finger-pointing above him to listen to the words he had spoken to it.
~Look at the lord Hisha''s attendant, he looks a tat sad~
Getting the information, Loid looked over to his left at the direction in which Gad pointed in sync with his information.
The floating saliva moved away from where it was and dropped onto an unlucky bush.
Tzzzzt!
The nt melted under the acid saliva that had dropped onto it, green smoke evaporated.
Loid stared at the nt for a while, trying his best to hide the shock he couldn''t get over with Gad''s ability. He contemted what he had wanted to say before the slight distraction.
"Uh... Loid?" Gad called back his attention, blinking innocently and waiting for his response to what he had said earlier.
"What about it?" Loid questioned with a raise of his brows, turning his attention back at Kritz.
"Who would have thought a loser could be highly favored and nurtured by our lord?" Gad called to his notice what he was so desperately trying to lead him on.
"Loser you say?" Loid let out a dryugh at the term.
They had all thought this way when Kritz had first arrived at the citadel but was all shocked when he had easily defeated all of the opponents that had been paired against him.
Gad grimaced at the thought and how wrong he was to use that word for Kritz, he was far from the outward loser they had all thought over six centuries ago.
"You of all people should know the sort of strength he possesses, he was personally trained by lord Hisha, you dimwit." Loid hissed as he watched Kritz sneeze and stare at the sky.
In a sh, he disappeared from their sight. A ck mist spiraled before dissipating.
Gasp!
They straightened their posture in a hurry, feeling that they had just triggered a sleeping devil in the form of Kritz.
Kritz would only disappear in such a creepy manner when he sensed a strange urrence or feeling about him, which could be within a 10-meter radius, he would sneak up on his target.
"Do you think it''s because of us?" Gad hissed to Loid in a panic.
"Shh!" Loid snapped, his heart thumping as they looked around them for any sign of Kritz.
If they could catch a glimpse of him at a distance¨Csafely away from them, they would be sure that they were safe from those eyes and demeaning aura that seethed off him.
Zzt!
Kritz materialized in front of them, not minding the rain that doused his body. His arms were folded and his brows creased in displeasure.
They both jumped back in fear and yelped at the sight of him at close range.
His glowing red eyes only seemed to gleam brightly as he stared down at the two guards. "Which one of you two were talking about me?"
Chapter 14 Strike When Vulnerable
Loid pulled on Gad''s arm, pushing him forward. "He''s the one who spoke ill of you."
"Hey?!" Gad hissed in response, looking over at his cowardly friend.
Kritz narrowed his eyes at them, trying his best to deduce where he had seen them apart from the usual guarding their post.
Then it clicked, that distinctive short white hair, it couldn''t be mistaken anywhere. "You are that little kid that tried challenging me several years ago."
He gave out augh at the fond memory.
Gad had his cheeks puffed up in embarrassment, muttering incoherent words at the memory sh.
"I don''t look so little anymore and neither do you, red eyes." Gad bickered, speaking through pursed lips.
He had tried to hide the fact that he was part of that dueling, he had wanted to test out his ability at the time of its bloom and was humiliated by Kritz.
"Ahh! It is you, sheep brain." Kritz pped the back of Gad yfully.
Loid''s mouth gaped open in shock at what was going on, this was the same cold-hearted person that could kill without as much as a flinch, yet he had replied to Gad''s mocking words with an equal dose of energy.
He could see why Gad had been envious of him.
"You ranked a bit higher than your servant years..." Kritz said as he tries to start up a conversation.
Every ounce of giddy feeling was thrown out the window as he furrowed his brows to the implied words.
He had felt triggered by the fact that he looked more pitiful in the rain, "Please do step out of the rain, you would¨C"
"I would what? Catch a cold?" Kritz chuckled, shaking his head at how silly that sounded.
Loid tugged on Gad''s sleeves. "I think you need to shut up."
"It would be wise not to speak about me behind my back," Kritz warned with a disturbing smile.
"You aren''t so scary as you look." Gad scoffed, raising his chin in pride.
''Why the hell would you spew rubbish from your lips?!'' Loid gasped, hopeful that Kritz would forgive his stupidity.
Kritz narrowed his eyes, ming it on the fact that he had tried to be approachable for once.
"Carry on with your duties, I apologize for scaring you earlier." He said with a forced smile.
Loid nodded his head at Kritz''s words, quickly covering Gad''s mouth from saying anything that could trigger Kritz.
Kritz''s head whipped to the balcony of his lord, he wondered how he was faring with Alta. She was quite different from the rest and hoped she would have better sess at gaining and helping their lord to the best of her ability.
Looking up at the sky, he wondered how long the cloud would cry. "It must be a depressing day."
Loid and a heavily suppressed Gad watched as Kritz walked towards therge doors leading to the main hall.
Finally confirming that Kritz was nowhere in sight, Loid let go of Gad.
"That was disgusting! What the heck did you touch?" Gad spat, spiting continuously until he was sure he had all the weird taste off his tongue.
"Trust me, you wouldn''t want to know," Loid replied with a smirk, whistling and looking away.
***
In the shadows,
The rain drops suspended above three figures hidden in the dark bushes overlooking the citadel.
"Who would have thought the little Vandrik is here, living the life of a servant? After all these years, we finally found him." A deep voice whispered to the other two hidden with him.
"He had stooped so low as to serve a mere gifted immortal?" The second voice snickered and clicked the tongue.
"Little Vandrik needs to be reminded of his roots! We had lost him once, never again would we miss this opportunity to get him back!" A smoky voice conversed with the other two.
The leader in question had the blue eyes faintly glowing, the tall dark bushes serving as a cover as they watched Kritz leave, "the harem is the only way we could use to keep the overlord alone, far away from little Vandrik, and when he''s vulnerable..."
"... we strike at their heart, crumble their foundation and get back what is ours!" The smokey voicepleted with a snicker as they allughed in unison.
Whoosh!
They all disappeared with a cloud of ck smoke in their wake.
"Did you hear something?" Gad whispered to Loid, looking out and over the bush where he had noticed a rustle.
"Only your stupidity I hear, and it''s too loud right now." Loid snapped and rolled his eyes.
Gad narrowed his eyes but said nothing, he narrowed down how he felt to a hunch.
If they had a threat, their lord would be able to fend them off easily.
Noticing the serious look on Gad''s face, Loid immediately felt guilty about what he had said, "I was just joking, I didn''t mean¨C"
"No, it''s alright." Gad cut in, "I do act foolishly sometimes, so it''s difficult to know when I am serious."
Loid looked down and nodded his head.
"Be on guard, I feel something terrible ising our way," Gad said in an ominous tone.
Chapter 15 Whats Going On With My Harem?
In the garden,
Hisha had safely put Alta to sleep in his room and had decided to take a walk around his citadel. He had just begun to get acquainted with the world and was d for such a privilege to be given such a helpful system.
He had instinctively walked towards the garden and was pleased with the beautiful set up in such a gloomy environment.
Hisha sat on a metal bench staring at the dark clouds, "it''s going to rain soon, I presume."
[Very much likely it would]
Exhaling, he stared over at the luxurious bed of grass which was surrounded by thorny bushes and shrubs.
''Who would have thought that the original host would share my love of flowers?'' He chuckled in his thoughts.
To the left of the garden, housed exotic flowers and butterflies alike. The rows of flowers fight for their ce in the garden.
The bushes and shrubs reach 1m/3ft high, but this is thanks to great care and a lot of effort Hisha had assigned gardeners for the daily work.
"You could all leave," he ordered the three gardeners that cultivated the mature flowers, hurriedly putting them in a vase.
They all bowed before dashing out of the garden.
''Was the original host a tyrant?'' Hisha wondered.
He had not said the words in a harsh tone, still, they dashed out after hurriedly carrying out their task.
[There are times he had the tendencies, you could say all thanks to the trustee reports from the tribal chiefs]
''Those old losers?'' Hisha rolled his eyes and let out a scoff at the mention.
A couple of messages carved on stones are spread around the garden, offering a glimpse of the best spots.
''A name is carved on that one.'' Hisha reported, pointing at the one in front of purple tree bark.
[Dalsa]
HTC read out the name and paused as he processed the information.
[It was said that was the only name you could remember from your childhood and he had been looking for the person who shared striking simrities with the little he could recall]
''That''s tricky, how do you find someone you barely remember if anyone can im to be the said person?'' Hisha frowned.
[The original host never gave out the description, he said he could instantly tell from one little detail he had etched in his memory. So whoever imed to be the female he was looking for would have to meet with his assessment]
''What''s that little detail?'' Hisha questioned curiously.
[A tulip-shaped birthmark on her nape]
Hisha internally facepalmed, he could now see that they had different reasons why they loved flowers. ''Typical of a lustful immortal.''
[If they didn''t meet the requirements as they all do up until now, they could please his troubled heart]
''Troubled? You call that troubled?'' Hisha clicked his tongue.
He kicked on some dirt, bored and tired of processing the information that he had acquired.
''The life of the rich and powerful sure is boring.'' Hisha thought with regret.
"Vandrik." He mumbled.
HTC had made him understand that Kritz was different from the other beast tribes, he was something much stronger and wild if left without a master to pledge his loyalty to.
The original host had deduced little Kritz''s hidden power and had to take him in for Kritz''s protection.
[What is going on in that empty head of yours?]
HTC''s sing-song voice clouded his thoughts.
''Do you ever get tired of mocking me?'' HTC snapped, his grip on the backrest of the chair tightened, so much so that he unintentionally bent the metal.
Pulling his hand away, he stared at the disfigured part of the metal and let out a sigh, there were still a lot of hidden things about Hisha that he was yet to understand.
[Easy on the poor bench, it did nothing to deserve that]
''You deserve everything I would have wished to do if you can materialize into a tangible object!'' Hisha hissed in response.
[Would you like to check your stats? There is so much you can do with your time]
Nodding his head, he watched as the translucent screen popped up in front of him.
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1000]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 938/1000]
[Meretrix: 1]
[Points: 0]
[Exp: 56]
[Total number of your harem: 6969]
''How the heck do I get points?'' He said in exasperation, slightly triggered by that part being the only null figure.
[You host tournaments, watch as they help you with the simplest of tasks, you need only the strongest of your harem at your side only then can your points reflect]
''That is going to take a while.'' Hisha looked down, dejected by the task put before him.
[It might take a while, but it''s worth the wait]
HTC tried to be positive.
''What''s worth the wait?'' Hisha cocked a brow at the translucent window.
The window closed and opened another which showed the inventory section.
Hisha''s eyes widened to the number of tools and items he stared at. ''Looks more like a vending machine.''
[Unlike leveling up where you get a random item for every 5th additional level up, points acquired can be used to purchase an item of your choosing]
''Anything of my choice?'' Hisha questioned, wanting to get the words straight.
[Anything! Every point earned, a hundred is credited to your point stats]
Hisha rubbed his chin, that sounded much more fun than he had thought. The only downside to the whole setup was the fact that he had to spend his points like he was using money to buy an item at a vending store.
If he was short on points, he would be unable to purchase said item.
''So could I buy a point doubler?'' Hisha said just to spite HTC.
[¡Á@#^]
An angry emoji followed right with its mouth covered with bandages and fire around its face.
Hisha stared at the screen, for a second he could understand what was said, it looked to him like HTC had just cursed at him but it automatically censored.
''Was that question too much for you to handle?'' Hisha snickered, thinking of the genie logic.
[That just goes against all sensible logic, smart host. It''s not bought but rather earned]
Hisha grumbled at the obvious response, even in this world nothing coulde in a fairly easier way.
[100 points granted]
[Harem: 6968]
[300 points granted]
[Harem: 6965]
[1100 points granted]
[Harem: 6954]
....
''What the heck?!'' Hisha''s eyes doubled in size at the numerous notifications popping up all at once.
His eyes glued not on the points he had weirdly acquired but on the dwindling harem.
[600 points granted]
[Harem: 6948]
Getting to his feet in a rush, his heart thumped at the meaning of such notification.
''HTC what the fuck is going on with my harem?''
Chapter 16 Yandere On A Rampage!
[Harem in danger]
[Yandere on a rampage!]
[Location: Meretrix one]
''Alta!'' Hisha hissed, sprinting towards the said location.
***
In meretrix one,
"Who the heck are you all?!" Alta raged, her yellow eyes glowing and her fangs visible with the gnashing of her teeth.
Her ck wings spread out, revealing the razor-sharp feathers on them.
In her right arm was a female with her pink hair held at its end. Her bloodied face was all messed up with sh marks from Alta''s wings and ws.
"You came here first, we are the ones that should be asking that, you... You demon!"
Alta did a little bow at thepliment and had a smirk.
The remaining forty-six harem all took a step back, all behind Sra and Zui.
"She''s gone mad!" One of the harems shrieked in horror.
They had been mysteriously ambushed in their room while they groomed themselves.
It was uncertain how she had gotten into their room, but it was much more disturbing when she proimed war on all of them, wanting to know how strong they were and why they deserved to be in the citadel.
It was only Sra and Zui who had managed to hold her off at the start of the killing spree. If they hadn''t interfered, more would have ended up like the other dead females.
Zui had her purple magical barrier around them to those who stepped within the 10-meter radius of her purple magical circle, which served as a temporary counterattack to the flood of de-like feathers from Alta.
Huff!
Huff!
Zui had one of her eyes closed, her hand to her chest as she hyperventted because of the strain it had on her Sux.
"Goddamnit!" She cursed under her breath, wondering what sort of female this demonic being was to be allowed to roam the citadel as she pleased.
The remaining harem all flocked around Zui, wary of their defenses being down and left vulnerable to the crazy beauty.
Alta burst out in a peal of crazedughter, wiping off the blood from her face and licking the residue on her fingers.
They all grimaced at the sight, their tongues sticking out in disgust.
"Zui, you have to hold this up, we would willingly contribute our Sux to help maintain the barrier." A female''s voice spoke up for the rest and they all nodded in agreement, stretching out their hands as it flowed on their palm.
There weren''t many who possessed Sux and were merely limited to just twenty-six who could safely contribute their limited quota¨Cexcluding Sra, who chose not to interfere in any way.
She nned to engage head-on when she had gotten enough incentive to utilize her rage.
Alta tilted her head to the side, amused by the sight of the other females who were contributing their Sux to the originator of the barrier, and also curious to what extent they could go with their little tricks.
"How long do you think you can hold that up? Where is a worthy challenge?!" She screamed, her eyes taking a nce at every one of them.
Sra gritted her teeth in suppressed anger, her fingers clenched. She had not wanted to show her true abilities as it would hurt all around her who couldn''t withstand its wave.
Unlike the crazed demoness from a few feet away from them, she thought more of an equal fight under favorable circumstances¨Cthis wasn''t the arena, the number of harems she had killed was rming.
"What do you want?" Sra snapped, her hazel eyes glowing, a cloud of steam escaping from her body.
Alta had a devilish smirk on her lips, "do you all think you can share my lord''s love?"
There was a moment of silence as they all shared a knowing look, the majority unsure of their stance.
"A bunch of weak endowed mortals who aren''t worthy of being in his harem! I am the only one meant for him, no one else, at least not you weak links!"
''Is this what all of this is about?'' Sra''s body shook with untold rage, twenty-one of the harem had died because of her sick notion.
Raising her hands, the limp female in Alta''s grasp dangled and swayed to her every hand movement.
Irritated by the female in her grasp, she had not paid much attention until she looked down at the body.
"Pathetic." She sneered and pressed her legs down on the stomach and pulled on the hair until the majority ripped out with blood oozing from the scalp.
The harem all made a collective wince at the current victim of her attack. They watched as the body was tossed aside.
Thud!
The rolled-back eyes of the female could not tell of the horrors that she had faced while being at the demoness'' mercy.
"You," Alta pointed at Sra, "your Sux power, I can feel it. You''re hiding your true ability."
Sra was stunned at how urate this strange female was.
"So what? I know the borderline between morality and bestiality." Sra retorted.
"I don''t think so." Alta clicked her tongue while she shook her head, "why don''t you show me what you can do?"
"Don''t!" Zui warned immediately, coughing right after. Her body shook from the strain.
There was no way their lord wouldn''t hear about this, all they needed was to keep her distracted for a long while.
This way they could avoid the tragedy of going head-on with her without knowing the true extent of her ability.
Ignoring the warning, Sra''s hair flew wildly around her as the room''s temperature began to rise. "Once I say leave, you all should be conscious."
Zui shook her head refusing to believe the order that was passed across¨Cshe was the one who gave the orders and not the other way around.
Whoosh!
Bam!
ng!
Bam!
Alta wasted no time in trying to tear down the barrier with a quick session of punches and shes from her ws and wings meted out.
The harem had their Sux drained and were forced out of concentration with the overwhelming attacking from all angles and made them cornered.
"We''re going to die!" A voice cried out among the females, followed by whimpering sounds.
''How were you chosen to be one of our lord''s harem, if you cannot hold your lot? Was the selection rigged?'' Sra wondered, internally cringing by the attitude of the female.
Bam!
Crack!
Zui coughed out, dropping to her knees.
''Oh no!'' Sra shook her head, horrified at what this would mean for the others if Alta was to gain ess to the barrier.
Bam!
Crack!
A trail of crack lines outlined the barrier, traveling all around it until it made a breakthrough.
Crash!
Chapter 17 Bring Her Over
"Alta halt!" Hisha called out in a loud voice.
Cough!
Cough!
He blew on the cloud of dust that permeated the room.
Bringing his hand out, he tried to appeal to her.
Her eyes red at him for a while as she tried to recognize him from a distance, her chest heaving.
"My lord? You came for me?" She squealed in delight, immediately changing her demeanor to a happy-go-lucky female.
[Exp+3]
''What the heck is wrong with this subus?!'' Hisha sneered, d that he had not established a bond in his heart.
She would need a lot of character development if she wanted to win his heart. What she had done had crossed the borderline of jealousy and strife.
Rushing to his side, shetched her hand onto his neck. "Darling!"
[Exp+3]
Hisha cringed at the words that she had whispered in his ears. This wasn''t the time for these kinds of words.
"How could you kill thoughtlessly?! You were meant to be sleeping goddamnit!!" He hissed in anger.
Alta blinked several times in confusion, it was an instinct behavior that hade over her, the thirst for power, the need to disy how powerful she was and find a worthy opponent for her high drive had forced her to be drawn to the meretrix one.
The only one she could find who had a simr drive as she was Sra, on the other hand, was hiding what she truly was and that had set her anger aze.
''Kill all who are weak to draw out her true power.'' These were the words that resounded in Alta''s head at the time.
"I''m hurt by what you have done. When you have understood how wrong you were, then you can approach me!" He snapped, letting out a sigh of disappointment.
Alta was stunned by his words causing tears to brim in her eyes, "but... but..."
Ignoring her flimsy excuse of reaching out to his goodwill, he walked further away from her.
His eyes searched for the others in the meretrix one, "are you all alright? Please be alright."
Not minding being followed from behind by Alta, he pressed forward in search of them amidst the cloud of dust.
He paused the moment he felt something elevated under his feet. Slowly looking below, he gritted his teeth to curtail the scream he had wanted to let out.
[Act unfazed, you can''t be bothered by the sight! Not ever!]
HTC warned, that any slight sign of weaknessing from him would only make Alta try to gain control of his mind.
Exhaling, he took a step over the severed body.
Alta tagging along closely.
"My lord?" Sra''s voice called out, squinting her eyes at the approaching figure.
Hisha''s heart warmed up when he heard her voice, ''she''s alive.''
Once the dust has settled, Hisha''s heart is hurt by the mere sight of his harem.
Zui was unconscious and assisted by the remaining harem who all looked pitiful and scared.
They gasped in fear at the sight of Alta, "my lord, the demoness is behind you!" One of them called out in worry.
''I''m not blind.'' Hisha facepalmed at the sound of the warning.
Sra snarled, and a warm orange aura outlined her curves. She couldn''t understand why the demoness was acting docile in front of Hisha.
Taking a defensive stance in front of the others, Sra prepared to attack if she got any tricks up her sleeve.
"What is she doing here?" She sneered at Alta.
"Hmph!" Alta harrumphed, rolling her eyes, she held back a devilish smirk.
Hisha looked to his side and noticed the re Alta had on Sra. This brought back bad memories of Kritz and Rean.
"No!" He warned. There would be no bloodshed while he was present.
Alta whined, pouting in protest.
Sra''s mouth gaped open at the sight, this wasn''t the same crazy demoness that had rained razor-sharp feathers and attacked when they were vulnerable.
She looked to Hisha for an exnation. If this was some contest that they were meant to be prepared for, she was sure as hell not going to take that.
"My lord, could you please exin what''s going on?" She said through gritted teeth, trying her best to stay calm as she watched how Alta''s hand was all over his chest.
Hisha pped Alta''s hands away, slightly irritated by her action. He had still not forgiven her for what she had done, yet she was pretending like everything was alright?
"She''s one of the harems." He coughed out.
''A crazy harem that''s weirdly devoted to me.'' He added in his thoughts.
"What?!" The others behind Sra gasped in shock, refusing to believe a monster was let in with them.
They were meant to coexist and only prove their worth in the arena and their method of pleasing their lord, not get ambushed in a ce meant to be for rest and have some fun.
Alta waved at them like she had known them for centuries. Her eyes switched from a zing glow to its bright yellow as if warning them to behave for their sake.
The others flinched and went silent. They decided to focus their efforts on resuscitating Zui. She had been a big help in keeping the majority of them safe.
Hisha''s attention was finally drawn to the reason they had flocked together. "Bring her over."
All of meretrix one looked at one another, they were skeptical about if that was a good idea with Alta lurking around him.
Sra gave a hard long re at Alta before nodding her head. "Our Lord can handle this. He should be in the best position to help." She gave a slight bow and made way for the others to go along with his words.
Hisha couldn''t wait for them to lift her to him, not while he had an ability that could do that conveniently.
[Ability: Telekinesis]
They all gasped and let go of Zui when they felt a force pulling Zui to Hisha. She hovered a few inches away from the floor as Hisha stared at her furrowed brows which told of the struggle she went through.
He had known her as meretrix 01-1, it was best to know her by name if he was ever going to get involved with her.
''HTC character stats of meretrix 01-1''
[Name: Zui Mu]
[Height: 167cm]
[Position: Witch¨CHigh priestess]
''A witch?'' Hisha did a double-take on the sort of people he had as his harem.
From the looks of it, she had drained the majority of her Sux.
''HTC is there a possibility that I had replicated¨C''
[There are hundreds of abilities at your disposal and you think that simple ability wasn''t included?]
HTC questioned with a scoff.
''Thank you for rifying, HTC! That was super helpful.'' He hissed in his thoughts, temporarily forgetting the attitude of his system.
[Ability: Heal]
Chapter 18 I Need You In Me
Gasp!
Cough!
Cough!
Zui''s eyes fluttered open. The first face she saw was Hisha and a smile spread across her lips.
"You''re finally here." She said in a low groan.
[56 Sux exhausted]
Hisha nodded his head with a smile, tracing her face with his fingers. He was d to save her from near death.
Alta watched with curious eyes, holding back her desire to kill them while Hisha was present.
The other harem rushed to Zui''s side, pulling her into a hug.
Sra looked down, not joining in on the collective approach of the other females to Zui.
"I''m d you''re alive." She muttered.
Hisha smiled broadly but when he looked around the bloody room it immediately turned to a frown.
[You have something nned, don''t you, host?]
HTC whispered in his thoughts.
''You got that right.'' Hisha affirmed.
Kritz materialized in front of him, "my lord." he gave a bow.
''Goddamnit! You scared me with that little trick of yours!'' Hisha screamed in his thoughts.
[You did well this time, good host! Remember you can''t be fazed by these little things]
HTC gave apliment with a thumbs-up emoji.
Kritz looked around, he had water dripping down his hair and onto the floor.
Hisha took a step back, "why are you drenched?"
Kritz looked away, "it was raining and I¨C"
"You were in the rain, intentionally." Hishapleted with a poker face.
Kritz forced a smile on his face, hoping to get in the good books of his lord.
Clicking his tongue, Hisha turned around and faced Alta. "Kritz, please take care of the rest. Keep them safe and await my order tomorrow."
"As you wish, my lord." Kritz bowed and narrowed his eyes at Alta¨Che could rightly guess that she was the perpetrator of such carnage.
Turning his attention towards Sra, he bowed to get her orders on what he could do to help the harem.
Pulling Alta by the hand, he stormed out of meretrix one.
[Exp+3]
''Did she just derive joy from my touch?''
When they had gotten to a secluded area. He pulled her so she was forced to walk in front of him and face him.
When he let go of her hand, he red at her with a glow in his eyes.
[Although not in the best way, this was bound to happen, some of the weak harem members had been eradicated. You cannot give a hard judgement without a warning first]
''HTC, what''s the best way to punish a subus?''
[You make her beg in the best possible way only you know how]
''The best possible way, what could that be?'' Hisha thought several times about what that could mean.
"My lord?" Alta''s voice cut into his thoughts, her hand wrapped around his neck as her yellow eyes burned with desire.
Her mouth gaped open slightly and her cheeks were flushed.
[Desire level high]
Hisha''s grin widened at the opportunity that presented itself.
Pulling her off him, he grabbed a hold of her hand again. "Come with me."
[Exp+4]
Ding!
[Exp: 69]
[Level up!]
In a lustful daze, she simply nodded her head, letting him lead the way.
***
In Hisha''s bedroom,
Click!
Closing the door behind him, he pushed Alta against the wall, epting her initiative of kissing him.
[Exp+5]
Their tongues fought for dominance, her legs wrapped around his waist. She let out moans to the elevated temperature between them.
Her ck wings and white horns dematerialized causing her to look more human.
Kissing down her cor bone, he relished hearing her moan to his touch.
[Exp+5]
Pressing his bulge on her core, he mimicked a thrust that gained a gasp from her.
He groaned to the pleasure that was engulfing him. A part of him wanted this as a punishment for her and another wanted to carry on with the act.
He was sure that the original host might spring up at any time if he wasn''t cautious of his actions.
Holding her in his arms, he walked them to the bed. As soon as he dropped her, he climbed over her and gazed at how beautiful this demoness was.
''HTC make sure if the original host decides to rear his head, you quell him so I canmunicate with him.'' Hisha ordered.
[Noted!]
When he had gotten the assurance from his system, he proceeded to rip apart her dress.
''Damnit! I was too excited.'' He internally facepalmed at how light of a dress she wore.
[Exp+7]
Her boobs were in full disy, her arms above her as she bit down on her bottom lip.
Spreading her legs, she moaned and pulled him closer with her legs wrapped around his waist.
"My lord, I need you in me." She spelled out, moaning when she felt him jerk forward.
He wasn''t going to consent till she begged, he needed to establish some form of dominance over her. She would receive her punishment in the only way which would make her rethink her decision in the future.
Taking a hold of her right boob, he kneaded it in his hand and took her lips greedily.
"Mmmf!" She moaned to the kiss, her hand trailing to his crotch.
Pulling away slightly, he made sure he avoided her touch.
She groaned in disappointment at her inability to feel his arousal.
Pulling away from the kiss, he chuckled at how frustrated she was getting as he pinched her nipple causing her to yelp in ecstasy.
"Do you want it?" Hisha''s hoarse voice graced her ears.
She bopped her head, wing at his crotch, but was held back when Hisha pressed down her hands above her head.
He made a jerk on her core, teasing her.
She let out yet another moan and shook her head. "My lord, please put it in me."
Leaning closer so he could whisper in her ear, "Put what?"
Alta''s eyes widened twice their size to how demanding he was of her, "your cock." She muttered.
"Why would you want that?" He snickered as he spoke, giving a jerk again.
"Mmmm..." She hummed, temporarily forgetting what he had asked, and concentrated better on how he was making her feel.
[Exp+10]
Realizing that she looked distracted by his action, he stopped and stared at her, "answer my simple question."
Waking up from her dazed state, Alta shook her head before she answered. "I want you to fuck me, my lord."
Hisha chuckled at how crude her tongue was.
She blushed the moment she realized that she had easily revealed what was in her thoughts.
"No, I won''t." Hisha pretended to be serious with his words and had wanted to get up from her.
Alta tightened her hold on his waist, shaking her head, "my lord, please don''t leave me this way."
''You''re getting there.'' Hisha noted in his thoughts.
"I suddenly feel reluctant to do so with your attitude." He said and shook his head, giving her a jerk so she lost herself momentarily.
She gasped at how exhrating the feel of just his bulge was, she needed all of him. Her legs momentarily let loose, allowing Hisha to pull away from her.
"Noooo!" She cried, tears trailing down her eyes, "please don''t go, I would do anything."
''Bingo!''
"Anything?" Hisha''s attention was caught by that condition and his smile broadened at the headway.
She bopped her head continuously to drive home her suggestions.
"Do not kill anyone except you aremanded to, bury your killer intent for my harem¨Cyou are one of my harem also and I expect you understand that!" He spoke coldly, staring down at her.
Alta let out a sigh, d that was all that was asked. "As you wish my lord."
[Respect acquired]
[Task: Make the subus submissive by coption]
Hisha''s grin widened at the opportunity that had finally presented itself.
"That''s a good girl, if you continue to be good, I will reward you with what you desire asionally." He exined.
[Exp+3]
Alta squealed in joy at the words, she would make sure she was good in the eyes of her lord if she could regrly be given that privilege.
Crawling back on top of her and he leaned forward. "How about we start now?"
Chapter 19 Do We Have A Deal?
Determined to still punish her, he wasn''t going to go easy on her.
Even if his system had given him such a task, there were various ways that he could aplish her submission yet derive satisfaction.
Over Alta, he parted her legs and nestled in.
Alta watched him with lustful eyes, her breathing increasing as she anticipated what he wanted to do to her.
Grabbing a hold of her right boob, he gave a light squeeze of the soft flesh.
She closed one of her eyes and her tongue let out with moans escaping.
Hisha grinds onto her to satisfy his pleasure. He expected some sort of trigger for the original host.
His mimicry of thrusts only increased his suspicions that he was right and a dubious smirk made its way to his lips.
[Ability: Time maniption]
[Ability: Mental space]
lord Hisha''s voice jolted Hisha awake from squinting his eyes due to the bright light.
''Is this heaven?'' Hisha raised his hands to his face so he could shield his eyes from the ray of light until he got used to it.
"HTC where am I?" Hisha called out in a whisper.
lord Hisha took a seat on the grass.
Hisha''s mouth gaped open for a while when he processed what was going on. "It was never my intention to take control of your body."
Lord Hisha''s lips raised in a smirk and nodded to the words.
Hisha felt a bit unsettled by how things yed out, it looked more like he was talking to his twin since he still had the body of lord Hisha.
The only difference between the two of them was the color of their irregr drop-crotch camo harem pants.
Lord Hisha had maroon harem pants with gold chains donned on the pockets and his waist which was in contrast with Hisha''s ck.
lord Hisha patted the floor with a smile.
Hisha raised a brow to the offer, for someone he had thought would be stern, he was considerably approachable.
epting the offer, Hisha sat cross-legged on the grass and waited to give his terms on why he had summoned his original host.
lord Hisha said with an eye-shut smile.
Hisha stared at the original host for a while, mesmerized by his looks. He couldn''t me some of the harems for being so superficial and agreeing just because of his looks.
"Why?" Hisha questioned.
He was puzzled by the thought of the original host giving up on life with so much power at his disposal.
lord Hisha swiftly changed the topic, more concerned about his dear friend.
Hisha narrowed his eyes, suspicious of the change of topic, "don''t you think it''s polite if you answer mine before I give you such information?"
Lord Hisha raised a brow at his words, but smiled nheless. He was d about the celestials granting his prayer while he was at the arena.
lord Hisha looked away, embarrassed by such a request he had made.
Hisha cringed when he heard those words, how the heck does someone with his status wish such a thing?
"Let me guess, wherever you are, there are lots of beautiful women for the entertainment of your lustful soul and to top it off there is no need to be bothered by the old geezers." Hisha deadpanned.
Lord Hisha tilted his head and replied,
Hisha whipped back his hair, temporarily feeling important, "well you see¨C"
lord Hisha cut in, facepalming.
The corner of Hisha''s lips raised in scorn at being cut off at the moment he wanted to show off.
Recovering from the initial bacsh, he bounced back stronger. "I could only guess I could contact your lustful ass if I am engaging in an activity you loved so dear."
Lord Hishaughed at how right Hisha was,
Hisha waved his hands, "to that, I''m less concerned."
Lord Hisha furrowed his brow, he had thought he had made sure to meet with him to implore him to stop the act of trying to take over.
Hisha moved closer to the original host intending to share important information with him.
Lord Hisha leaned to the side to listen.
"How about we strike a deal?" Hisha raised, wiggling his brows. "I am sure it would be something irrefutable."
These works piqued lord Hisha''s attention,
Hisha whooped at finally getting that settled, now it was onto the reason for wanting to meet with him in the first ce.
"Share your lustful experience for our benefit¨Cmajorly mine." He coughed on thetter part.
This would be a big help to his virgin self, he wouldn''t need to embarrass himself with any of his harem who might be more experienced than he was.
His mind temporarily trailed back to the subus he was to copte with. There was no way a virgin Hisha could teach her some manners, nor punish and subdue her in his way.
Even though he had gotten his fill on fentais, he needed a quick practical experience to be effective.
lord Hisha raised a brow at the offer.
"Your desire gets appeased to an unimaginable level and thinking about the total number of the harem, you''re sure not tock in getting yourself a free ticket without doing anything. Think of it, if I finally grow my wings and break off your experience once I''ve gotten mine, think of it as doubling your desire level." Hisha tried to negotiate.
lord Hisha repeated, rubbing his chin.
"So what do you say?" Hisha offered his hand in a shake, "do we have a deal?"
Chapter 20 Cant Go Unpunished ?
[R-18]
Chapters with [?] signifies a steamy scene, those without but still tagged R-18 are majorly gore.

Lord Hisha agreed with a smile, taking Hisha''s offer with a shake.
''Don''t count on it, I will surpass you one day.'' Hisha snickered in his thoughts.
Gradually everything began to dissipate and normalize and time resumed.
Beep!
[Lustful desire experience downloading]
[30%...69%...86%...100%]
Ding!
Hisha''s grin only widened as he stared at the subus spread out before him.
Leaning forward, Hisha whispered into her ears, "show me how much you want this."
[Exp+3]
Not expecting her quick reaction, he was caught unawares when she tightened her grip on his waist with her legs and pulled him down into a kiss.
''Oof! What the hell?! You shouldn''t be this aggressive, this is supposed to be my thing!'' Hisha protested in his thoughts.
Breaking off from the kiss, he furrowed his brows at how she had swiftly tried to get the upper hand. "So... You like it rough?!"
Alta shook her head, it was just a brief rush of excitement at his words that had caused her to react as such, she was much stronger in the dream world than in reality.
Hisha''s hands snaked to her crotch, staring at her as he plunged one finger into her already wet hole.
He had gotten word from HTC on how a subus'' bodyposition works. They were loyal to the one they bonded with, but that wasn''t what had caught his attention, rather, it was more about the fact that they naturally were without hymen.
When his finger had gone in so easily, it could only confirm the truthfulness of what Hisha had said earlier.
Alta let out a moan and threw back her head, pushing onto his hand so it could go in deeper.
Hisha let out a light chuckle at how far gone she was while she focused on the little pleasure she was getting.
Retracting his hand, he plunged in two fingers and watched her squeal in delight and squirm on his fingers. Her feet pressed on the bed and her hip was slightly raised off the bed.
Pushing her back down, Hisha began to thrust in and out of her core, amazed by how quickly she had secreted so much.
"Ha! Ha!" She let out huffs of breath whenever he pulled out and plunged in. "I... need..."
Letting out another moan, she grabbed a hold of his shoulder, "this won''t do."
As she spoke, she repeatedly shook her head. No matter how she had tried to reach a climax, that ecstatic feeling seemed to be far out of reach.
The only option was to feel his hard flesh inside of her.
Hisha let out a groan when he instinctively pulled his hand away and gave a light stroke on her core, soiling his pants.
Alta wed at his pants, wanting that piece of clothing that was getting in the way gone. "... needs to go." She managed to say.
Wanting to know how far she could go with her libido, he allowed her ess to his pants and watched her go on her knees as she pulled them down.
She let out a gasp and her eyes doubled in size at his 12-inch erect sheath springing out of its constraints.
Hisha let out a sigh of satisfaction at finally getting that over with. His lustful gaze finally locked on her.
Going over her again, he leaned down and took one of her nipples in his mouth and sucked on it greedily like a hungry infant.
Alta''s fingers dug into his hair, grabbing a handful of his locks and holding him firmly over her right breast. She arched her back to give him more ess to take in more of her breast.
Hisha continued with the finger thrusts he had done earlier, increasing his pace drastically. Slushing sounds could be heard from her overly wet core coating his fingers effortlessly.
Angelic moans escaped her demonic lips and she bucked to his thrust. She vibrated in response as she was on the verge of getting an orgasm.
Sensing she was approaching her release, he pulled back his hand from her core and continued his assault on her nipple.
She let out a groan of frustration and begged, "lord Hisha, please don''t do this to me."
"Do what?" He pressed on, ignoring her pleas.
In a bid to get him in, she squirmed and aligned her entrance above his throbbing cock. Without a warning, she quickly impaled herself on his hot rod.
"Kyaaaa!!" She let out a scream when she felt 7 inches fill her insides and throb lightly. Her body trembled as she rode out the suppressed orgasm that followed on his cock.
[Exp+9]
''Goddamnit!'' Hisha hissed to the feeling of her walls mping down on his cock.
He gritted his teeth at how he felt he had been yed dirty at his own game. Pulling out his cock, he flipped her so her buttocks were arched upwards and towards him. And her breasts pressed onto the soft cushion of the bed.
He had his knees form creases on the bed as he pressed his erection onto her fold lightly as he grabbed onto her waist.
"Mmmmff!" She moaned and tried to push back onto him.
''You got some nerve trying to pull the same trick twice!'' Hisha narrowed his eyes and pulled away from her.
Raising his hand, he gave a smack on one of the cheeks and watched it jiggle in response.
Alta let out a moan, turned on by such an act.
[Exp+2]
Cross popping veins made their way to Hisha''s forehead. That wasn''t the reaction he was expecting and took a brief moment to calcte his next action before carrying on with it.
Pulling her hair lightly, he ced his right hand on her side on the bed and leaned over her, "you just stirred up the docile dragon."
He had almost considered going easy on her at first, but after what she had done, there was no going back.
cing the tip of his cock at her folds, he prepared himself as he lightly touched her wet core. "You can''t go unpunished."

Alta''s face scrunched up to the slight pain she felt with his hand still holding onto her hair.
She understood that he wouldn''t know to what extent his grip on her hair if she didn''t point out the problem, "darling if you could..."
Thrust!
Hisha pushed the head of his cock into her wet hole.
''I do not ept your petty words at this point.''
Alta let out a gasp at the sudden intrusion and squirmed due to the sting of difort she felt.
"You want it? Take all of it!" Hisha snickered and pushed past the head in until he was balls deep.
Holding her by the waist, he prepared not to give her any chance to adapt to his length as he pulled almost out and rammed back in.
"Uhhhnnn!!" Alta gritted her teeth due to pain and pleasure.
She could feel the tip of his cock prate her womb. His thrusts continuously plunged in and retracted.
Alta groaned as she tried to adjust to his thrusting sheath.
Pa!
...
Pa!
Hisha thrust in and out of her folds earning him moans from her.
"Ahhhh¡ mmm!" Her voice could be heard moaning loudly.
ck straight waist-length hair clumsily sways as her core gets prated wildly from behind.
Yellow eyes rolled back into their sockets, her tongue hanging loosely out of her cute glossy pink lips.
[Exp+7]
He watched as her pink fold took in his 12-inch erect sheath so well.
Leaning forward, he grabbed a hold of her jiggling breasts, which only made him increase his thrusting speed.
Pa!
Pa!
Pa!
"Kyaaa!!" Alta let out a scream in ecstasy.
Her moans filled the room, as Hisha rode her like a wild horse, his balls pping hard on her folds.
"Mmmm... yes... yesss!" She moaned, closing her thighs so that she could feel his length ravage her tightened core, coating him with her juices.
[Submission acquired]
[Subus submission by coption achieved]

''Finally, that''s over with, now onto the one I want to aplish.'' Hisha thought with a smirk.
Kneading her breasts, he would asionally pinch on her pink erect nipples, enjoying the scream of ecstasy she would let out every time.
[Lustful desire stats unlocked]
HTC''s monotonous voice cleared its voice as it pretended not to be aware of what its host was doing.
[To gain and surpass the level of the original host''s lustful experience, you have been granted a status meter to track your achievement]
[Lustful experience: 1/20000]
[Fetish: 0/20]
Ignoring the notification that popped in front of him, he focused his attention on Alta before him.
He had wanted to have his mouth suck on her nipples, but he couldn''t, not in the position they were in.
"My lord, do I make you feel good?" Alta muttered in between gasps of air as she was pushed forward with every thrust.
Hisha let out a groan but gave no reply.
She pushed up her butt cheeks to meet his thrust.
Alta''s stomach was pressed t on the bed and her juices trailed down her legs and folds inevitably dripping onto the bed.
Pulling her by her slender waist, he pistoned in and out of her pink folds in reckless abandon.
Pa!
Pa!
Pa!
Alta bit down on the pillow to muffle her screams.
Hisha watched in awe at how well she secreted so much, this made his cock slip in and out with rtive ease, and a sloppy sound could be heard.
[Exp+8]
He felt her walls clench, this forced him to pull his thoughts together and watch as she trembled under him.
"Uhhnnn..." She let out another moan as she felt somethinging.
Her folds repeatedly squeezed on his cock, alerting him of her imminent orgasm.
The corner of his lips was raised at this, it was time to leave her hanging and left with wishful thinking for a brief moment.
Pulling out, he held firmly onto her waist to stop her from pushing back in on his cock.
"No... No... You can''t leave me hanging, please..." Alta whimpered in frustration, wanting some sort of release anytime soon.
''That''s just about right.'' Hisha thought with a smirk.
"I don''t n to," Hisha flipped her over so she had her back on the bed and spread out for him.
Thrusting back in with much vigor, he pistoned in and out of her folds.
Creak!
The bed lightly rocked to his movements.
Alta grabbed a handful of the sheets, her head thrown back as she was getting an overload of pleasure and could do nothing more than stiffen.
Hisha let out a series of groans as he continued his thrusts without letting up.
Alta''s breasts swayed with every thrust and subconsciously let out moans of pleasure.
A sense of fulfillment washed over Hisha as he began to slow down his pace so that it came in long strokes.
[Would you like to nt your seed]
[Yes/No]
Hisha raised a brow at the notification, ''heck no!''
Ding!
[Your seed would temporarily send her to the seventh heaven]
That clenching sensation of her walls on his cock, pulled him back to reality.
"Uuhhhnn!" Her nose raised and mouth slightly ajar as the words escaped Alta''s lips.
He had finally gotten what he needed to be reemphasized and had made up his mind to go with the flow.
"Cum for me." He whispered seductively into her ears.
[Exp+15]
Acting onmand, Alta''s body jerked and her walls mped down hard on his length as she rode out her orgasm, making him groan in utter pleasure.
Pushing through, he continued his thrusts on her limp body, chasing his release.
With one final thrust, he jerked. Shooting out loads of his semen into her womb.
[Seventh heaven activated]
Alta let out an inaudible scream of delight and her body trembled in the aftermath.
[10%... 45%... 81%... 100%]
Ding!
[Seventh heaven deactivated]
Hisha maintained that position until his cock gradually turnedid, and he pulled out, rolling to the side of the bed with a satisfied sigh.
Alta''s chest heaved as she tried to catch her breath. Her hair was in a disheveled mess around her, and her fold twitched.
"That was..." She paused to catch her breath.
"Breathtaking?" Hisha suggested with a smile.
Alta nodded her head and leaned in onto him, pressing her breast on his arm, her leg thrown over his body as she clung tightly.
"How about we go for another?" She questioned with a devilish smirk, swiftly climbing onto him and cing her hand on his chest to keep her bnce.

Chapter 22 A Difficult Decision
[Wakey wakey!]
HTC said in a sing-song manner, watching its host sleep peacefully with Alta by his side.
Alta moaned as she stretched out on Hisha.
[Get up! You seem to be forgetting something!]
HTC yelled and numerous ding sounds followed to drive home its point.
Hisha''s eyes burst open at the annoying sound, groaning and instinctively reaching out to turn off the annoying rm.
His face fell the moment he realized it was HTC''s doing and there were no such things as rms in this world.
''HTC, what is it now?'' He whined, looking over to Alta who let out subtle snores as she slept.
The memory of the previous sensual night shed before him causing him to smile how well he thought his first time in his head went.
''Thankyou original host for your experience.'' Hisha snickered in his thoughts to how helpful it had been.
[Here are your aplishments since the previous day]
HTC spoke in a monotonous voice before branching and bringing up another translucent screen.
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1001]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 879/1000]
[Meretrix: 1]
[Points: 4500]
[Exp: 61]
[Total number of your harem: 6948]
''That''s a lot of points and exp for just a night.'' Hisha gawked at the screen for some time in disbelief.
He ced his index finger to the side of his head as he thought about what he had nned on doing.
[If I might be of some assistance, you¨C]
''I needed to address the harem!'' Hisha eximed, finally remembering what he had forgotten.
He had made up his mind after what had happened to give his harem a fair chance to choose.
Slowly, he pulled away from Alta''s hands. Pulling the cotton covers over her body, he tucked her in nicely.
He stared at her as she had a smirk on her lips even while sleeping.
''What do you think is going on in a subus'' head?'' He chuckled in his thoughts.
[You wouldn''t want to know, but to sum it up it''s all wild fantasies involving you]
Hisha smiled and shook his head at how believable that was, considering who wasying on his bed.
Leaning closer to her, he pushed her disheveled hair away from her forehead and nted a kiss. "Please stay good till I get back."
With that, he pulled away, walked into his bathroom and closed the door carefully.
Click!
When it was confirmed that he was behind the closed doors of the bathroom, Alta''s eyes opened and glowed.
''I will have your love.'' She vowed in her thoughts and slowly closed her eyes, drifting back to sleep.
***
In the arena,
Hisha ced his ck boot onto the edge of the high raise on which he stood and looked down at the remaining harem members.
This time his gaze was fixated on Sra.
She wears a red dress that covers only a small portion of her shoulders and flows down into a simple keyhole neckline. It''s a close fit that is meant to draw attention to her breasts but gracefully and elegantly.
Hisha had his eyes fixated on her innocent face with his eyes dting, he had a smile creep in slowly. She had been a gentle touch that had graced his new life.
Sra had her arms covered just above her wrists. The sleeves broaden towards the bottom, allowing for gold bracelets to be visible.
The dress'' waist is narrow, but it''s a slim fit. A small, stylish gold belt is all that is needed for a perfect adornment.
The more Hisha stared, the more she was forced to look down timidly after locking eyes with him for more than afortable five seconds.
[Ahem! The harem awaits your wonderful speech, host!]
HTC coughed out just in time to pull Hisha''s thoughts together.
cing his hand onto his raised leg, his eyes involuntarily glowed as though he was exerting dominance over them while he speaks.
"I know those of meretrix two to one hundred and one are aware of what had happened in meretrix one." He paused and took a nce over all the females.
Kritz stood straight and alert in case of any disturbance. His eyes scanned the surrounding area at a quick speed and back at the harem below him and his lord.
He had done his part in keeping the harem safe, his only wish was never to encounter a time he would have to terminate any of them if they were out of line.
Alta had survived because of his lord''s attitude towards the situation and due to who she was¨Ca crazy type of different who doesn''t hide who she is and does not tolerate the weak.
His gaze fell on Sra who looked calm and collected, but he knew the true capabilities of this female, she was merely toning down on her equally dangerous ability.
''Would she reveal who she truly is eventually?'' He wondered as he tilted his head.
"You all had been chosen for a reason," Hisha began.
From HTC''s exnation, they were said to be the most beautiful, and powerful ones of their people or tribe.
From what he had seen the previous day in meretrix one, he had concluded that there was more to how they were chosen.
He couldn''t deny the fact that they were beautiful in their ways, but thetter requirement wascking in some if not most of them.
He didn''t want to suffer such heart-wrenching notifications anymore, they needed to show willpower and prove they could withstand the odds.
"After the incident that had happened, I had to make a difficult decision of letting all who are willing to reconsider being part of my harem and leave." He announced.
HTC had made him realize that those who were weak would bring in no points to him whatsoever, there was no use having them around if they could easily be subdued or expect his help ever so often.
All he needed was the strongest by his side, if those who had chosen these women couldn''t do it right, he would start by attacking the problem from the roots¨Clet go of the weak lot as it had been requested from the very beginning of his awakening in this world.
Kritz choked and coughed at the words as his eyes widened in shock.
"My lord..." He began but refrained from voicing his concern, switching nces from the harem and Hisha.
''My lord knows what''s best for his harem.'' Kritz repeatedly told himself until he believed it.
There was an uproar from the harem below Hisha as they all began to contemte his offer.
Some hesitated on his offer, they had been offered lots of money to take care of their families by the tribal chiefs, the chance of bearing an heir for the most feared being in thend of Kurg.
Majority had been specifically chosen because of their beauty and a little knowledge in defense. After what had happened in meretrix one, they had begun to have second thoughts on what was best for them.
Sra looked over to Zui and nodded as they shared a knowing look. Zui walked towards her and stood by her side.
"Am I the only one who wants to stay by his side and prove my worth?" Sra whispers through the corner of her lips towards Zui.
"I was thinking the very same thing," Zui replied in a like manner.
They raised their heads when they heard their lord speak again.
Sensing the hesitation that came with carrying out such an action to a person of his status, he needed to reassure and convince those who weren''t meant to be by his side.
"You don''t need to be worried. All I need is your honesty, can you all give me that?" He spoke with his voice solemn as he awaited their response.
Chapter 23 They Are Females... Not Some Plaything
[Are you sure you would be okay with this?]
Applying a sad emoji at the end of its words and ellipses beeps continuously as it awaited Hisha''s answer.
''I need to know that they are truly willing to do this. What''s the point of having them by my side if they were poorly selected in the first ce?'' Hisha replied.
[You don''t seem to see the innocent facade of the phoenictix or the mischievous witch as poorly chosen]
HTC countered with a chuckle afterward.
Clearing his throat, he could tell HTC was merely trying to pull his strings and gauge his reaction¨Cthat he wasn''t going to concede.
"Today marks the day you choose your path for yourselves." Hisha pressed on to the females.
He could recall the scared faces of some of his meretrix one when he had met them, it was as though they were reluctant to stay in that room, that had left a hard impression on him.
If some could feel this way, there were some others in the other batches he hadn''t met with that would feel the same or much worse.
He wasn''t going to bound them to his side just because they were chosen, they should be willing to be by his side.
When the willingness was there, only then could he attempt to approach them.
With the tournament which would be rescheduled to the next day, more of the weaker lot who had tried to prove their worth by staying would still be let off.
In his defense, this was a way of allowing those who had been taken from their first loves to be returned.
''Heck! There''s no way this body could attract such many harems that would love me genuinely.'' He thought and snapped out of the dream he thought he was in.
All of that was purely in his fantasy and he needed to wake up.
The mild-tempered ones needed to live a normal life, and find someone who could fully reciprocate their true feelings. There was no way they could survive by his side without being solely dependent on him.
Taking it up on himself, he chose to handle the daring ones, they could work together to grow in strength.
[How much longer do we have to wait for those who would make a decision?!]
HTC whined in frustration, it was a simple offer that needed a simple response.
Kritz bit down on his bottom lips as he tried so hard to hold back his thoughts from spilling. If thesedies were to back off from being part of his harem without being let off by Hisha personally, they might be ostracized by their families and themunity.
This was the supreme overlord they were talking about, having a daughter in their lord''s harem was a great privilege. This would be a tricky decision for them.
Making up his mind to alert Hisha on what he thought on the issue, "my lord¨C"
Hisha''s attention was drawn to a raised hand among the crowd. Her arms have been covered to about her elbows. The sleeves are a loose fit and, in a way, help put focus on her soft skin.
The others all focused their attention on the female who was courageous enough to speak up. They all pushed back so Hisha could have a better view of her.
"Lord Hisha..." She said with a high-pitched voice, her hands slowly pulling on her green locks to calm her nerves as soon as she realized all attention was focused on her.
Hisha cast his gaze on her, a bit uninterested in her dragging on with what she wanted to say.
"My family, I¨CI would be..." She croaked, her hands trembling and unable to continue, she broke down crying, cing her hand on her chest tightly and hyperventting.
Some of the females around surrounded her and knelt tofort her.
''What the hell is going on?!'' Hisha furrowed his brows at the weird disy.
The scene almost looked to him like he was oppressing them without lifting a finger.
[Ability: Time maniption]
[Host, I might have skipped on a few information]
HTC coughed out, knowing how displeased Hisha would be. He had promised to alert Hisha whenever something was amiss.
''This is so not cool, HTC! You had promised!'' Hisha hissed in his thoughts, narrowing his eyes at the crowd below, specifically on the little group that had surrounded the female.
[Being in your harem was considered a privilege unrivaled and higher than those given over to the beast tribes ]
''The tribal idiots?'' Hisha questioned with a raise of his brows.
HTC was left stunned by the choice of words but fully recovered and rified. [That... They are all marked and can''t be given out nor touched without your rejection]
''Isn''t that just a foolproof harem?'' Hisha sarcastically replied with a burst of bitterughter.
He shook his head at how troublesome it was thinking of the numerous females he would have to reject once they couldn''t meet his standard or the tournament.
[If they were to leave without your rejection, the majority of those leaving would be in danger and can never move on with another]
''Great! Just great! How do I unmark them?!'' Hisha sneered and clicked his tongue.
[You just say the word while looking directly into their eyes, there should be a glow right after signaling the severed bond]
Pushing back his hair, he had a smug look on his face, if that was what some of thesedies needed, he was going to give out just that.
After his time maniption was deactivated, he looked towards Kritz who had been staring at him for some while.
Kritz walked over to his master and gave a slight bow awaiting an order.
"Allow those who are willing to leave ess here." He ordered.
Kritz froze for a second at how strange that sounded, but nodded and did as he was told.
"To those who choose to reconsider, I would aid you by freeing you of the mark," Hisha exined.
His gaze locked on a strangely determined look on Sra and Zui.
They looked unfazed by what he had offered and he could tell that they didn''t consider his offer as did the majority.
[Did you say poorly chosen?]
HTC mocked with a chuckle, never missing a chance to remind him of his words.
''Shut it!'' Hisha hissed while heid back on his chair and tilted his head to the right unto his clenched fist.
HTC couldn''t contain its excitement at two opinions that could be open for a discussion with its host.
[Who do you think is going first?]
[Can you guess how many harem members would stay topete for your attention?]
Cross popping veins made their way to Hisha''s forehead at the questions. He had tried to concentrate as he watched Kritz speak on his behalf and lead the ones that wanted out.
''They are females with feelings just like every other and not some ything!'' Hisha spat, immediately remembering the sort of system he had.
''They should be given the chance to back off and save their hides, that''s what matters. Alta is still unstable, I will not let her engage with those who can''t hold their lot and not ''die'' against a fellow harem member.'' He announced to his system.
[...]
''Yeah that''s it, think about what you said wrong.'' Hisha snapped and watched as the females walked up the stairs in their numbers to meet with him.
Chapter 24 You Would Stay By My Side
After long agonizing three-hours,
''How much more do I have to go on this?'' Hisha whined in his thoughts.
[690 unmarked]
[Till they stop meeting with you while you gave them the opportunity at freedom]
HTC deadpanned. All it could do was take count of the total number of those who had left only then could it give the final estimate of the remaining harem count.
Cross popping veins made their way to Hisha''s forehead at the words. His attention was drawn to the next female that approached him.
"My lord," the sweet voice of a blue haired female bowed in respect. Her bob cut hair braided at the side with a fringe framing her forehead swayed to her movements before bouncing back as she straightened her posture.
''Something isn''t right.'' Hisha narrowed his eyes on the female. Her beady blue eyes, set low within their socket, had a sort of malicious glint in them.
[Warning: Malicious intent detected!]
[Range: less than a meter from host]
Hisha''s eyes gleamed as his self-consciousness had doubled tremendously.
''Malicious intent eh?!'' Hishaughed it off and mentally prepared himself for what she nned on doing.
He had ced his hand on her chin to release her from his mark. As they slowly aligned their gaze, he shook his head and pulled away.
"Where do you think you''re going?" He leaned in for a whisper.
The female''s body froze due to a force holding her in ce.
''Zui! You despicable witch!'' She snarled in her thoughts, feeling an invisible magic ring wrap around her body.
Hisha noticed something was wrong with her behavior and could easily detect something was wrong and immediately searched the crowd for the same strong aura being remotely manipted.
His eyes stopped at Zui''s smirking lips as she made use of the opportunity to blow a kiss his way and wink at him.
''What in the w¨C"
Shaking his head, he cleared his throat and looked back at the female. His cold gaze fell on her and she trembled slightly.
"Please spare me." The female whispered, feeling the need to save herself from prying eyes.
Hisha raised a brow at her words, she was anything but saved.
''You wanted to pull a fast one, an immortal? Who goes on a suicide mission like that?'' Hishaughed in his thoughts, but his exterior said otherwise.
He knew once they were unmarked, they had a better chance of trying to attack him unawares since they weren''t bound to him anymore.
[This could have been the work of some of your subjects plotting against you]
Hisha hummed to the suggestion, that was the only usible reason.
Walking closer to her, he cast a demeaning gaze that forced the female to her knees.
''HTC, character status.'' Hemanded.
[Name: Pesa Jynx]
[Height: 168cm]
[Position: Fay]
''Just a fay?'' Hisha grimaced at how low her status was in her kind.
Squatting, he pulled her by the chin and stared into her eyes, but instead of saying the words to unmark her, he thought of a better way to punish her and get the information he neededter on.
"You would stay by my side as I would never reject you, no one would hurt you as long as you are stuck with me." He hissed, putting on a smile for those who could see him.
Pesa''s eyes widened in fear and disbelief. Her head shook to his words as she repeatedly begged to be set free but couldn''t voice out her pleas for the rest to hear.
She trembled in fear when she realized all that had transpired were nothing more than thoughts reying in her head as she was back to the very spot she had stood when she was restrained and was oddly silent.
''No! This can''t be!'' Pesa struggled to get free before she couldn''t stand a chance anymore.
She would prefer death over being locked up and interrogated.
She shivered to an approaching cold aura seething off from Hisha.
He had his glowing eyes gleam coldly when stretching two of his fingers out.
Pesa tried to shake her head, but fixating on the spot prevented her from reacting. She watched with wide eyes when Hisha lightly tapped her forehead, causing her to lose consciousness immediately.
A collective gasp could be heard from Hisha''s harem below.
Hisha rolled his eyes, turning a deaf ear at their reaction to what he had done, he owed no exnation and was aware some of them could sense Pesa''s evil intention.
Getting to his feet, his eyes nced through the remainder of his harem.
[Harem: 6258]
Kritz watched what had transpired with suspicion. He could tell something had gone wrong with the harem for his lord to reject her release and put her in that state.
A part of him was suddenly curious about the information that had pushed his lord to do so.
Walking up to Kritz, Hisha ced his hands on his shoulder and leaned in for a whisper, "take her to the dungeon, make sure she doesn''t escape until I''m done here."
Pulling away, Hisha turned his focus to the rest below. Pretending like none of what they saw was of any concern.
Although Hisha''s words only confirmed Kritz''s suspicion, he couldn''t hide the shock in his wide eyes of disbelief¨Cthis was a harem member.
"As you wish, my lord." Kritz bowed and walked up to an unconscious Pesa. Creating a ck misty orb around her¨Csince he couldn''t touch his lord''s harem.
Zzt!
He disappeared along with the orb, a ck mist spiraled before dissipating.
Hisha stared at where they were before for a brief second. ''Some are just bound to betray.''
[...]
With their heads raised to watch Hisha, Sra shook her head and whispered with the corner of her lips to Zui. "You had to go that far?"
"I never liked her," Zui shrugged. "It turns out that bitch was up to no good anyway. Serves her right." She snickered.
Sra closed her eyes and smiled in satisfaction. "It was for the best, no one tried to taint our positions."
"Exactly." Zui nodded her head in agreement.
***
Looking down at his harem, Hisha decided to finalize their decision. "A total of 10 meretrixs had been unmarked, and I assume those who had stayed had done so to prove themselves worthy."
''There are still some who have hidden agendas like Pesa, merely masking for a time.'' Hisha added in his thoughts.
"The start of the tournament would go on as scheduled, may the blessings of the celestials be in your favor." He finalized.
Chapter 25 What Did You Do...?
In the dungeon,
"Let me out!" Pesa screamed at the top of her lungs, pulling on the chains clutched on her wrists.
The concrete walls shook due to the strain as she pulled.
She looked around and could only make out a wooden bench fixated to the wall, the dimly lit room gave her little to go with.
Her eyes darted everywhere in search of a way to escape if she had the opportunity.
"It''s pointless to think of an escape," Kritz watched her with an indifferent gaze. He could tell she was as impatient to leave just as any sensible person would.
Pesa gritted her teeth and red at him, she had not expected to be treated in such a way, especially not after being Hisha''s harem.
Kritz rolled his eyes and focused his attention temporarily on the loose button on his red jacket. It was only a matter of time before his lord would arrive.
All that was needed was to watch over her and make sure she made no trouble.
The guards couldn''t be of help in this situation as they are not allowed to be as close as he was to their lord''s harem.
''It would have been nice to have sheep brain spark up a silly conversation to lighten the mood.'' Kritz wished in his thoughts.
A smile made its way to his lips but immediately turned into a frown when he had seen Pesa''s blue eyes glow.
As a fay, it was only sensible to keep his distance from her, he would not risk inviting trouble to himself by killing her to save himself of her mind control.
"Please shut your lips, your puny attempts of struggling disgusts me." Kritz sneered.
Pesa paused for a second and switched nces from her wrists, there were red marks that had been a result of her struggle.
She couldn''t afford to be present when Hisha arrived after he was done with the harem¨Cthat would spell doom for her if she didn''t reveal her ns.
"You can''t do this to me!" She cried, pouting and whimpering. "I''m innocent, please let me go."
''Innocent? Do I look stupid to you that I wouldn''t be able to tell?'' Kritz scoffed and rolled his eyes.
When he narrowed his eyes and raised the corner of his lips, he had seen to a particr degree what had happened, but that could never beparable to the bad vibes he had observed about her.
"You had tried to kill an immortal..." Kritz suppressed his chuckle as he spoke, "how is that working out for you?"
He shook his head and turned his attention towards the only venttion in the chamber¨Ca small window that could barely fit a head through.
The only source of light that cast its light on the stone floor.
When the decision was made to get his lord''s harem, he had been excited about the prospect of a much livelier environment, but after just a few days in, he had wondered if this was a decision that would be able to stand the test of time.
It had also brought more problems to his table, they had inadvertently invited masked enemies into the citadel, prompting him to constantly wonder who else could want to betray his lord.
"Kritz, you know I couldn''t do that." Pesa solicited.
She wanted him to stare into her eyes and get lost in them, y on his conscience to get her release, but no matter how she had tried to reach out to him, he wouldn''t as much as spare another look her way.
"It''s pointless trying to get to me, so I would suggest that you¨C"
Creak!
The door leading to the dungeon pulled open and in came Hisha taking long strides as he walked, he had a stern look on his face with his hands shoved into his pocket.
Kritz had tried to think of the possible reasons why his lord''s mood had changed.
[Kritz is trying to read your mood, host]
Hisha cast a gaze on Kritz''s way to affirm the words rted. Immediately he locked eyes with Kritz, thetter immediately looked down in respect.
Not wasting much time, he walked up to the dungeon and ced his hand on the metal bars. "How are you enjoying your private room?"
Pesa blew on stray strands that fell on her face and whipped her hair back. Her eyes glowed as a burning hatred began to resonate from within.
Hisha felt the aura and brushed it off with a shake of his head, he still didn''t understand what sort of malicious intent she had in store for him.
Curiosity led him to move his face closer to the bars, his focus on those eyes that carried so much hate.
"How could you take up such a difficult burden all on your own?!" Hisha hit the bars in frustration.
She was the first that had made him take such an unprecedented approach, even Alta was never put in such a situation.
"..."
Pesa went silent, refusing to say a word. If she could keep the secret buried in her, then so be it.
''HTC I would like to know one thing, what''s the probability that I can have something of hers that would make her concede?''
[... Loading... 0%...]
[20%... 67%... 100%]
Ding!
[Ability Extraction]
The corner of Hisha''s smile began to grow into a grin as he took in the information exined by HTC.
Pesa''s face turned pale at Hisha''s actions, he didn''t seem angry, yet he was grinning?!
Opening the metal door, he stepped into her dungeon room space and squatted.
Pesa flinched and pushed back, "don''te any closer!" She cried and closed her eyes as she prepared for the worst.
Hisha looked behind him and saw Kritz watching both of them. Signaling him to give them some alone time.
Kritz nodded his head and quietly excused himself.
Confirming that Kritz was no longer present, he red at Pesa. "If you think you can get away with this, you have forgotten who I am."
Pesa''s heart raced to an rming degree at the impending approach to where she was forced to lower her actions.
"Tell me who put you up for this?" His cold voice made her tremble in fear.
''Do not get triggered by this, it''s bound to happen. All you need is this little clue.'' Hisha thought of calming himself.
Being overly sensitive to this sort of issue would take him nowhere. If that would mean he uses an ability specifically made for his harem, he was sure to test it out the soonest.
[Would you like to use this ability?]
''If this would get her to talk, it won''t hurt to try.'' Hisha readily agrees to the activation.
[Ability: Extraction]
"I would ask you one more time, why did you try the impossible?"
"..."
"Have it your way then." Hisha shrugged and pretended to be uninterested.
With wide shocked eyes, Pesa pulled hard on the chains, pushed back, and shook her head to avoid the touch of Hisha. She had been made unconscious once, but not again.
With the flick of his finger, he aimed at her shoulder as a diversion. When she was properly distracted, he gently patted her head.
A sense of calmness washed over her, and the thought of struggling out of his grasp was buried at his touch.
When she tried to activate her ability since he was in close range, her jaw dropped.
"What did you do to me?!" She questioned through gritted teeth, putting up another attempt at pulling on the chain much harder than it was originally meant to hold back.
****
A/N
I had been having some thoughts on this story and wasn''t so sure if I should continue with this so... I would love to know if you''ve read it thus far by making an inlinement on this paragraph with a +1.
Chapter 26 What If I Refuse?
Hisha clicked his tongue at her, he wasn''t going to respond to her question, instead, he went with a different approach, "you shouldn''t be struggling, it''s damaging to your precious skin."
Pesa scrunched up her nose and spat on his face.
Getting to his feet, Hisha turned around and let out curse words after another in regret.
His hands made strangling gestures around the air while he envisioned Pesa in his grasp. It ached his heart to be treated with contempt by a member of his harem¨Ceven he was at a disadvantage because of what she had done.
''What the heck is wrong with this female?!'' He thought with frustration and anger.
[There seems to be some sort of grudge held]
''You think?'' Hisha sarcastically answered and turned around to look down at Pesa.
With a new resolve, he walked up to her once more and squatted.
Picking up the hem of her ck dress, he used it to clean his face.
Pesa had tried to retaliate by aiming at his head with a kick, but was too slow in her attack and was swiftly caught by the ankle.
"You''re a tough one aren''t you?" Hishaughed and released her leg before moving away slightly.
Unable to go easy on her anymore, his eyes glowed and his brows furrowed. "Tell me who sent you to do this!"
[Ability: Telekinesis]
Pesa let out a gasp as she tried to take in air, she could feel something gripping her by the throat and obstructing her air inflow.
Knowing it was dangerous to be in such a position and still have no way of breaking free, she struggled amidst choking and begged for her life.
Hisha momentarily paused, he wasn''t going to kill her, all he needed was information¨Cif he could get that, he could be one step away from getting to the bottom of the conspiracy.
"Are you willing to talk?" He questioned with a stern face. His eyes are devoid of any emotions.
Pesa thought about it for a while, contemting which would be to her benefit. Slowly she nodded her head, if she could get away with telling him a bit of what she knew, she could trick him into letting her go.
[As a fay, she can''t be trusted]
HTC immediately warned, feeling something off with her willingness to talk. Her kind was usually malevolent and grotesque diminutive humanoids.
Even as it gave Hisha a heads up, it wondered why this female was different from her kind in physical appearance, the only characteristics that she had readily disyed would be her foul personality.
''You think I don''t know?!'' Hisha hissed in response.
He folded his arms and leaned on the wall before he spoke. "Prove to me you can be given a second chance, if you''re lucky, you could get your ability back."
Pesa''s eyes searched the ground as she contemted how she would sieve out her words. It was best to y it safe for a while.
"Yes my lord." She bowed her head.
Hisha''s brows twitched at her response, even though she had bowed, he could feel that she was mocking him in effect.
[Make her pay by making her yours! There is no way she would be able to refuse]
HTC suggested, creating a smirking emoji with mes behind it.
Hisha shook his head at the system''s response. ''Spoken like a true desire system, you couldn''t just keep that lewd thought to yourself, can you?''
[...]
HTC suddenly realized it had just gone against what its host had reprimanded it for.
As Hisha clicked his tongue and shook his head, he watched Pesa lock eyes with him as she prepared to speak.
"Remember, your ability is at my disposal, you can''t have any funny ideas while staring at me." Hisha pointed out andughed.
A frown could be seen on her face as she watched Hisha mock her. Even though she didn''t understand how that was remotely possible, she needed to be set free.
"I would never..." She began and let the rest fade off withoutpleting it.
"My family was killed when I refused to be brought here to be your harem. I never wanted any of this." She rted and avoided making eye contact with Hisha after that.
[She''s hiding something]
HTC''s words were outlined in red as it was suspicious of her tone and body movements.
Pesa''s eyes darted everywhere on the ground, she was right about her family being killed, she was marked without her consent when chosen.
She hid the fact that she was approached by a group of strange-looking beings who offered to rid her of the person that brought her so much anguish.
''You have some enemies far greater than I am, you self-centered immortal!'' She cackled in her thoughts and tried her best to hide the smile that was forming on her lips.
Hisha caught on to that devious smile that shed on her lips. He wasn''t so stupid enough not to understand what could be going on through her thoughts.
"When I had asked for the selection, it was never meant to be this way," he began, trying to justify the previous host''s actions.
It all boiled down to the fact that the tribal chiefs had a hand in the unprecedented decision used in getting the harem.
''I''m going to kill those old geezers someday!'' He vowed in his thoughts and gritted his teeth.
They needed to serve theirnd to its fullest, then he would strike at them.
Walking up to her, he ced his hand on her head and gently stroked, "you have every right to be angry and I''m sorry about your parents'' death."
She wasn''t evil but rather manipted by someone else''s ns, if he couldn''t make her feel safe, there was no way she would turn a new leaf.
Pesa raised her head to stare at Hisha, those weren''t the words she was expecting, and felt a warmth course through her body with his touch.
Tears brimmed in her eyes, conflicted about what she knew and his actions. "Please stop trying to care, it will take you nowhere." She sniffled.
Squatting, he brought his face closer to hers and raised her by the chin to meet his eyes.
"You have one of the most beautiful blue eyes I''ve seen." He subconsciously blurted out and instantly regretted the slip.
When he saw her brows begin to crease, he snapped out of the dazed state and proceeded to continue with what he originally nned.
"You would be given a chance to redeem yourself, if you coulde out victorious after your 50th duel, I would let you off if you still wish to leave my side."
''50 duels?! Why don''t you just say you want me here by all means?!'' Pesa felt agitated and worried that she might not live to see that day, not with so many stronger females eager and ready to participate.
Pulling her face away from his grip, she red at him, disturbed by such preposterous condition¨Cit was going to take several weeks if not months ofpulsory participation to attain her redemption and freedom.
She didn''t sign up for any of this, she had made it very clear she wanted nothing to do with his harem and that includes the tournament.
"What if I refuse your offer, my lord?" She asked through gritted teeth and narrowed her eyes at him.

Chapter 27 You Think The Others Love You?
Hishaughed at her response, getting to his feet and biting down on his bottom lip.
He looked to the ceiling while he pushed back his hair to calm his agitated soul.
Turning his attention back on her, he had a smirk. "You''re feisty, and I think this thing between us could work."
Pesa narrowed her eyes and raised the corner of her lips. She wasn''t going to be some weak female in front of him just because of his status and power.
"You think you have it all, don''t you?!" She sneered and spat, flipping her hair back once more. "You think the others love you for you?! Think of countless that were forced into this, how can a man be this cruel?"
Hisha was taken aback by what she proposed, he already knew this fact, but hearing it from someone else who had the guts to say it to his face struck a chord.
A sh of his life in his world caused him to stagger back. He was always invisible to the specific human species called females, and he had never cared.
He was already getting used to this world thanks to HTC and Kritz, a fresh new start at possible love and being noticed.
[No! You can''t be affected, remember?! Most especially by your harem!!!]
HTC warned in Hisha''s thoughts, the transparent screen shing and glowing as though reflecting its rage.
Covering half of his face with his hand, he burst out in a peal of crazedughter. "Am I cruel?"
His green eyes involuntary glowed as he stared down at her. His suppressed anger and frustration were on the verge of blowing in her face if she said another.
Squatting back down, he held on tightly to her chin, "giving you a chance to redeem yourself is my way of being nice, do you get that?"
Pesa''s eyes doubled in size as she felt his demeaning Sux seeping out and coating his body, forcing her to submission.
She lost all power to talk back and avoided his gaze like a gue.
[10 Sux exhausted]
Hisha scoffed and had a smirk at her reaction. Letting go of her chin, he clicked his tongue. "You are trying to turn me into the monster I had tried to keep at bay? If you want me to be, I could be specifically for you."
Pesa flinched at his words, this wasn''t the way she wanted the conversation to stir in, with her ability gone, she felt more like the humans than her kind and she hated it.
Left with no choice, she chose to go with the only option she was given and mumbled, "I will do it."
Hisha pretended he didn''t hear her words and urged her to repeat them.
''How low can you go?!'' She thought with contempt and held his re when she had seen the aura around him had dispersed.
Gritting her teeth, she knew he was trying to establish a form of dominance over her andpletely subdue her.
"I will participate in the tournament." She repeated.
"How about you start by treating me as a harem should?" Hisha requested and folded his arms.
Pesa''s mouth gaped open, she wasn''t going to concede so easily. How could he ask that of her even though he knew her deepest intentions?
"You need to earn that, my lord." Pesa forced a smile and was satisfied with the sh of anger on Hisha''s face.
If he thought he could order her around then he was as vile as she thought he was.
[She''s trying to get on your nerves, host]
''Thanks for the information, HTC.'' Hisha sarcastically replied.
"You would be ced in a room and on close watch until the tournament begins, you are not allowed to leave without my permission." He exined.
Raising his hand towards her, the sps on her wrists clicked open.
Pesa broke her fall with her hands on the floor just in time. "Anything you say, my lord."
"Your abilities would only be restored to you when you need them for a duel until you fulfill your end of the bargain, other than that, you are forbidden from using your ability as it would automatically be blocked for the time. Do not try anything that might hurt you if you want to activate it." He stated coldly.
Pesa gritted her teeth, from his words it sounded as though he had thought about everything ahead of time. She was as good as powerless against him without her ability, her fighting skills obviously couldn''t match up with his nor his quick reflexes.
''This wasn''t what I was promised by those three!'' She thought with regret, clenching her fingers, refusing to say a word.
Looking at her wrists, her eyes brimmed with tears as they began to sting more than she had realized when she was struggling. Red welts mixed with blood had formed around them.
Hiss!
She winced at the pain and strain her hands had gone through. Her hair covered part of her face as she lowered her head, but she didn''t care, if that was a way of hiding her pain, she would dly stay that way till he was done speaking with her.
Hisha paused and observed her, he could notice her body trembling slightly. He couldn''t tell if he was going to regret his next actions.
Scooping her up from the floor, he adjusted her in her arms easily. "Hold onto me properly, I wouldn''t want any more damage to my name because you didn''t hold on as I told you to."
[Are you sure that''s the only reason you''re helping her?]
''Shut it, you degenerated system.'' Hisha snapped in his thoughts.
[Ouch!]
Pesa let out a gasp of surprise when she swooped off her sitting position and into his arms, but did as she was told, putting her hand around his neck and holding onto him tightly.
''Is he helping me out?'' Pesa wondered and narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
His hand gently held onto her, pulling Pesa closer to him, and felt her body heat up from their touch. "I need to tend to your wounds, as much of a monster as you think I am, I can''t be that cruel to those who are meant to be close to my heart."
Hisha wasn''t required to exin why he had done what he was doing, but when she stiffened in his arm, he needed to assure her he meant no harm to her just because they had started on a bad foot.
After that, he never gave her another nce as he walked toward the door.
Pesa had wanted to speak, but smiled and leaned her head into his chest. ''Maybe he''s not that bad after all.''
[Exp+2]
Hisha raised a brow at the notification and held in augh. ''You would have to prove yourself anyways, I won''t ept this so easily.''
The door flung open as soon as he approached it.
"How about we check out your room while tending to your wounds?" He offered, looking ahead as he walked in the said direction.
Pesa knew his words weren''t necessarily a question but also a statement, she was bound to be in the prepared room one way or another.
Giving a nod, she epted her fate. If it meant she could personally see to what extent he could go in his actions, she would let it slide for the time.
''I will have my revenge another day.'' She thought with a sigh, closing her eyes as she drifted to sleep.

What are your thoughts on Pesa? Would she be worth investing time in the next chapter?
? Would you want to see them interact? Put an inlinement with a ''yes'' if you''d like to.
Or
? Would you want to see Sra and Zui and the rest of the harem interact? Put an inlinement with a ''sure'' if you''d like to.
Chapter 28 Wed See Who Wins The First Wave
The remaining harem had all been transferred to different rooms of 447 which had been grouped with 14dies.
Sra and Zui were d that they had been ced in the same room, this gave off time for the two to bond better.
It wasn''t an issue when they noticed that they had been highly favored by the others after the incident with the crazy subus.
Murmurs were going on in the room, they were all talking about the tournament that was to begin the next day. The major fear wasn''t about facing each other, but specifically about facing the subus.
"What if we die?" One of thedies suggested as she dreaded the thought of dying without achieving anything.
A gasp saturated the room as the murmurs only seemed to get wilder, then they turned their attention to one of their only hopes.
Sra leaned on the wall and rolled her eyes, she could remember when she was despised by the others because of her ability and now they were looking up to her?
"What are you all looking at?" She snapped.
They all avoided her gaze and bit down on their lips, some rubbed the side of their arms as they paced around.
Zui got up from her chair and walked up to Sra. cing a hand on her shoulder, she held the eyes of a dishearteneddy who was just trying to figure out how they would progress, just like the rest.
"I know we¨C I have been hard on you and was quite thepetitor at the time. I had feared you would steal all the love of our Lord that I failed to realize we have a bigger threat that doesn''t take this tournament as a way of having a fair chance."
Sra pulled Zui''s hands off her and chuckled and yfully said, "are you afraid I might turn against you?"
Zui scrunched up her face and narrowed her eyes, but it soon turned into a bright smile as sheughed it off, "if either one of us could be by his side and rightly earn it, that''s all that matters."
Sra felt her heart sink at her words, Zui had just made her realize that if they couldn''t hold their lot against the others, they might one day be separated.
"You do know how to fend off your opponent and effectively switch from offensive to defensive, right?" Sra looked at her with beady hazel eyes.
The opportunity of having a friend amid the battle wouldn''t be such a bad thing.
Zui gave a smile, "you saw how I discreetly held Pesa?"
Sra nodded and then there was silence, immediately after they burst outughing.
The remaining females turned to the two, perplexed on why they were so carefree when their lives were on the line.
"Are you two certain you can win this?" Ady cut in on the two, her hands akimbo. "You seem just fine after just a little fending from ady with wings."
She had light brown hair in curly locks reaching to her shoulders, some falling onto the side of her face which framed a strong, wild face and dark skin. Narrow multi-colored eyes consisting of auburn and amber ones set concealed within their sockets, as she narrowed them on the two.
''Tia.'' Sra and Zui thought in spite.
Tia was human and her race had been at war with the creatures for hundreds of years and had only been forced to be at peace with one another due to the rules of Lord Hisha after they began to dwindle in numbers.
Not many could tell the difference between a human and a creature in most cases as they all had features that were the same as those who weren''t deviants of their kind. The major distinction is that they didn''t possess the baseline energy, instead, they relied more on their intellect and superior fighting skills.
Sra and Zui frowned not because she was a human, but rather because she had interrupted their discussion and was one of the proudest harem members of the whole meretrix.
Before their reshuffling, Tia had been in meretrix seven and they both loved the distance they had from others.
Staring at the one person they wished to avoid, they hoped she was done with her little speech.
"Were you two so weak that you had a hard time protecting everyone in your meretrix?" Tia pressed on with a snicker.
Zui gritted her teeth, feeling hurt by such words directed at them. "Who do you think you are?! How about you were there that day and let''s see how you fare?!"
Tia took a step back and had a devilish smirk when Zui tried to pounce on her but was held back by Sra''s hold on her shoulder.
They were not allowed to attack one another, not while they were in their rooms. Anyone who breaks this rule gets sent back to their tribe and family without a question¨Ctheir mark is never removed and would suffer periodic shock waves just from interaction or making contact with anyone.
The news of the subus evading this rule only fueled her hate towards the creatures.
"Who knew you still carried that same hate your race has towards mine." Tia ced a hand on her chest, faking surprise and disappointment as she concealed a re at them.
She could hear murmurs from the back as the others contemted what she had said. This only made her grin grow wide.
Being separated from the other humans in her previous meretrix only made her hardened and defensive against others¨Call were nothing more than opponents she would trample on if she wanted the true prize from lord Hisha.
A majority of the harem didn''t know the truth behind being highly favored and selected by their lord. This had been the method that lord Hisha had secretly used to create a peaceful coexistence in thend.
Her family being one of the only ones who had been present at the time passed it on for generations and had been so generous enough to give her a heads up on what to expect.
She on the other hand was determined to get it at all costs at the expense of the other humans.
''I am the only one fit to get that prize!'' She vowed in her thoughts.
"Hate or no hate, you''re despicable and a disgrace to the peacefulmunity of the human race." Sra snapped, her innocent face proving false to the words she said right after. "Bitch!"
Tia gritted her teeth and pointed an using finger at Sra, "as much as you think so highly of yourself, when in the arena, being the fair lord he is, you are not allowed to use your ability against any human, just your brute strength and wits."
Sra raised a brow, not getting why this stale news was being brought up again.
"I''d see how well you can hold up without your ability." Tia challenged.
Sra smiled and tilted her head as she countered. "It''s a pity I don''t hit rabid animals, or I would have been scared that you would bite."
A wave ofughter erupted from the others and Zui only overly exaggerated hers and pointed a finger at Tina as she did.
"We''d see who gets to win the first wave." Tia stormed off in a rage after that, unable to make a bigeback.
"What are you all staring at?!" Zui snapped at the rest. "It''s time to get some sleep."
The others dispersed as they did as they were told, they needed all the rest they could get before the next day.
Zui pulled on Sra''s wrist. Leaning forward for a whisper, "thanks for standing up for me."
Sraughed it off, "I hate the thought of being bullied when each one of us is equal in our own rights."
"Anyways, we should also have our rest, tomorrow marks the start of a life changer for us all." Zui smiled and pulled Sra toward their respective beds.

Chapter 29 Interesting Matchup
The sun was shielded by clouds that cast its shadow on the open field of the arena.
Hisha watched as therge wooden doors were opened to allow the harem members in.
[Are you as excited as I am, host? You get to win a hundred points from each win of your harem and five hundred for an outstanding performance]
Hisha clicked his tongue and had his cheeks pressed on the back of his palm. Hezily looked at the crowd as they still filed in. It was surely going to take some while before anything began.
The fact that not all were going to duel against the other made him wonder why all were present to watch.
''Some self-gratification?'' He questioned the reasonableness of a crowded environment.
The ground rubbled as Kritz raised his hands.
''What the heck?!'' He got to his feet to see the extremity of the field from the steps of three rows.
Thedies didn''t look like they were bothered by this ability as the ones who came watching took out a piece of cloth and ced it on their seats.
[One of the abilities of a Vandrik]
Hisha''s eyes widened at the ingenuity of his assistant before a smile crept on his face when he realized how lucky he was to have Kritz by his side.
Sitting back down, he cleared his throat to get the attention of Kritz.
Following the cue, Kritz walked towards his lord and went down on one knee with a bow. "My lord."
When he returned to his room after taking care of Pesa, he realized that Alta was nowhere in sight. At first, he had not paid much attention to it, but she was still unounted for till the very day of the first official tournament he would personally host.
"Where is Alta?" He questioned in a whisper, worried she might be up to no good.
Kritz raised his head and had a smile, "she would soon arrive."
''Soon arrive? What''s that supposed to mean?'' Hisha tilted his head and gave a nod.
To his dismay, before the doors sealed shut, the tribal chiefs walked in and climbed up the stairs to pay their respect to Hisha.
Hisha had expected to see just 6 tribal chiefs since one was dead but was surprised to see the face of another merman.
He was handsome, tall, and muscr. His face was finely chiseled, and he had his shoulder-length blue hair held in a high ponytail with gold bands. His pale skin and faint scale marks on the sides of his face only reminded him too well of the uncanny resemnce.
Unlike the other tribal chiefs, he looked fairly younger and full of vigor.
[The new chief of mertac and younger brother of Frich]
Not satisfied with the information, he requested a character status on the suspicious chief.
[Name: Mich Mer]
[Height: 170cm]
[Position: Chief of the merfolk tribe]
Something was unsettling about him, his mischievous gaze only made his stomach churn. He would need to visit these tribes to know what they were up to behind his back, starting with the merfolks.
When they had made their presence known, they took their positions on the sides of Hisha.
Internally facepalming, Hisha finally understood why there were three seats to his left and four to his right.
Once the old geezers were settled, he made eye contact with Kritz and proceeded to hand over the responsibility of stating the rules out to his harem.
Kritz conjured up a scroll and pulled it open and read out the rules:
? All would be given a fair chance with their opponents, they would be entitled to a weapon of their choice, armory if needed.
This first rule had one use, if they were overpowered while using their armor, it would be allowed for the opponent to end the life of the armored one.
There were murmurs among thedies below as if confirming one of their fears. The tribal chiefs shared a knowing look.
? When engaging a human, the opponent is forbidden to use their ability against them, instead armory suit-up is greatly encouraged.
In the crowd, Tia whooped and burst out in a peal ofughter.
''Who''s that hyperactivedy?''
[Tia Gran, she''s a member of the human race]
''Human race? Must be tough in a world that thrives on the activities of those possessing Sux.
[Where theyck in ability usage, they make it up with brawns and brains]
Kritz narrowed his eyes at Tia for interrupting his speech. "Ahem!"
Tia reclined in her space and looked down once she noticed Hisha watching her.
Kritz continued with the rules and stressed the fact that they don''t need to hold back whatever they had to overpower the opponent, the least they could get would be dismissed and their mark removed.
When he was done with reading the rest, he closed the scroll and watched it disintegrate.
The tribal chief''s role in watching the tournament was to pick a lot and scatter it to decide who will be paired against the other. Hisha and the seven tribal chiefs would have their turns in choosing two papers¨Cwhich would make up eight pairs.
[Duel: 8]
[Number of possible harems participating: 16]
[Victories: 0]
[Points umted during the tournament: 0]
Reaching into a hovering silver cup, Hisha pulled out two pieces of paper and handed them over to Kritz.
"Sra Nyx and Lilt Tundra." He announced.
The moment he stared down at Sra, he caught her gaze already on him. She had a smile as she got up from her seat and so did the Lilt.
He heard one of the tribal chiefs hiss in regret at such a pair and couldn''t help but wonder who Lilt was and what was her connection to one of the tribal chiefs?
Unable to curtail his curiosity, he immediately demanded a character status for thisdy.
[Name: Lilt Tundra]
[Height: 169cm]
[Position: Vampire¨CCountess]
''Interesting matchup.'' Hishaughed it off as he realized that the tribal chief¨CVanas who was called by Frich when he was still alive sat beside him. If he could take a wild guess without using the character status, he could bet that he ruled over the vampire tribe.

Who would are you rooting for?

Chapter 30 I Hope You Burn In Flames
"Lord Hisha," Chief Vanas called on him in a whisper.
He had red, shoulder-length hair tight in a ponytail revealing a chiseled, tense face. Hollow red eyes, stared at Hisha seeking an appeal.
An old tattoo of a cobra''s mouth opened and ready to strike is almost hidden on the side of his left cheekbone leaving an aching memory of his reckless luck.
He needed to get the attention of Hisha before the tournament began.
This wasn''t going to end well with one of his people. Fire was one of the banes of vampires and facing off with Sra was like a suicide mission¨Cshe was the embodiment of the abomination.
Hisha turned towards Vanas with a twisted smile, he could already guess what he wanted to appeal to and was hellbent on not giving a listening ear.
Vanas felt threatened by the smile and could only cough at the subject. He had finally realized that if he was going to call on the choices, it was as good as challenging the supreme overlord.
Hisha nodded his head when he understood that Vanas got the memo. Instead, he went with a different approach, "isn''t the weather just gloomy? We need a little light in our lives."
Vanas immediately deciphered what was being said and clenched his teeth. Hisha was goading on his zeal for his people and knew what the match-up meant.
At first, he pretended not to know what was being said and ignored Hisha, and focused his anxious attention on the arena.
"Don''t you agree, Vanas?" Hisha stressed with a hum.
[Host you are sowing discord]
''Does it matter?'' Hisha countered, it was the tribal chiefs they were talking about so he saw nothing wrong with his words.
When HTC went mute once more, he smiled and ced his chin on his arm.
Vanas forced a smile on his lips and nodded.
"Why don''t you sit back and enjoy the show?" Wae snarled and rolled his eyes.
Vanas let out a sigh and leaned back in his chair, it was pointless butting in.
Hisha nodded towards Kritz so he could make a brief announcement so they couldmence.
"With the rules in mind, you may begin!" Kritz called out in a loud voice.
All attention was focused on the two who stood in the middle of the arena, loud whooping calls and cheers erupted from the harem as they picked on their bias.
Hisha had a smile on his lips as he watched them, they were far more enthusiastic about this than he thought.
[Must be nice, seeing these beautiful women fighting for your attention]
HTC mocked and ced a crazy face emoji.
Hisha knew what he was driving at and held back his tongue before he gave a sarcastic reply, he would rather focus on the motive rather than the tournament.
It wasn''t just about who won, but who had sparked his interest and was able to prove they could stand by him.
Sra had a twisted smile on her face as she stared at Lilt.
Lilt took a defensive L-stance, her red eyes glowing with a smoky aura spiraling in a circle beneath her legs.
''You think you can defeat me just because of your race?!'' She thought in spite as she held the eyes of confidence on Sra.
"It would be best you save up your Sux, it''s just about leaking out of you, it''s stupid to show your weakness at the beginning," Sramented, staring down at Lilt like she was some insect.
[Warning? Yandere]
Hisha''s mouth gaped open, he couldn''t understand if this was the same innocent Sra he knew. She was a different person in the arena and a yandere?!
? He sweatdropped at the revtion, having an internal battle on how he had missed that probable part of her.
[Close up that mouth of yours! I did tell you not to be fooled! Let''s see how that ys]
Lilt clenched her teeth after thement, she felt humiliated and bitter.
Tired of taking a defensive approach when all Sra was doing was standing and waiting, she lurched forward for an attack.
Quickly reacting, Sra sidestepped andughed. "Is that all you got with your ability?!"
She was yet to use her ability and had just relied on her agility.
The crowd cheered, with Zui''s voice topping it all, "kick her sorry ass! Light her up goddamnit!!"
For a few seconds, the arena was silent, and all attention was drawn to Zui.
Zui reclined in her seat and whispered, "too much?"
Sra pinpointed Zui''s location at the left side of the first row and smiled warmly, thisdy who was against her at the onset had suddenly turned into her number one fan.
''You silly witch!'' She thought happily.
She was about to focus her attention on Lilt once more when she felt a scratch on her back.
The crowd let out a collective wince of pain in her stead as they saw Lilt scratch with her ws and gave a kick on her side.
Sra tumbled across the open space until she hit her back against the concrete wall of the end of the arena.
A cloud of dust rose in the air, obscuring her situation.
"Did you see that?!" Vanas snickered with joy as he called on the attention of the other tribal chiefs. He looked over to Hisha and had a smirk on his lips when he could pick on the tiny detail of frustration and shock on his face.
Hisha had his hands tightly gripping the armrest of his golden chair.
Crrrk!
A crack appeared on the armrest, he had tried so hard not to react to the situation that it was killing him on the insides.
[Where is your self-control and patience, host?]
He watched with worry as he looked at an approaching Lilt to the cloud of dust. She had a grin and was going to end the duel before Sra could make a counteraction.
"This time, I hope you burn in mes and stay that way." She cackled in a peal of crazedughter.

? What do you think of Lilt situation, would she be sessful?
Chapter 31 Torturing Her Predators
Zui held her breath as she watched the duel unfold, her feet drum on the floor as she was ced on the edge. This wasn''t just about wanting Sra to win, it was more about getting a femalepanion by her side¨Cone she could freely converse with at any given time.
''Come on, rise from the ashes as your race does!''
She got to her feet the moment she could get a clearer vision of Sra and her face fell in an instant.
''No...'' She screamed in her thoughts.
There was a gasp from the others at the sight.
Blood stains had colored the wall on which she had hit with her back. They could only imagine what such an impact could have done.
On the floor was a seemingly unconscious Sra.
Lilt on the other hand had a big smirk on her lips as she approached, ready to give the final strike.
? "Aim at her head, that''s her weak point!" Vanas muttered to Lilt, knowing she was bound to hear with her augmented hearing.
Hisha caught on to the words but pretended not to be aware, it was best to keep his emotions in check and see how Sra could work her way around it.
''Get up!'' He pleaded in desperation.
Lilt bared her fangs, protracted her ws, and charged at Sra, aiming for her head.
To everyone''s surprise, they watched Lilt get suspended in motion and her skin reddening.
Hisha leaned forward to have a better look at the strange situation.
[Sra has activated her ze ability to a dangerous degree]
Sra slowly got to her feet, punching the floor with her knuckles. The moment she locked eyes with Lilt, her hazel eyes glowed with untold fury.
"I am not the one who will get burned," she had her palm facing Lilt with full concentration, exerting her hold on her.
The stinging pain trailing from her back then to her side from the scratch was so overwhelming that she let out a bitterugh at the first time she had sustained such injury just for being distracted.
All it needed was a few minutes before it heals, but till then she was determined to return the favor tenfold on Lilt.
Zui''s lips raised in untold happiness, this was a change in the ying field and Lilt stood no chance now that she had made Sra mad.
Lilt screeched in pain to the burning sensation that was eating deep into her skin. "Let me go, you freak of nature! Your race deserved what they got!"
For a fleeting second, Sra was stunned by the words, she had been reminded about the troubles her race had felt in the hands of the other creatures.
They were deemed too dangerous to be allowed to live and were exterminated.
Lord Hisha had been able to put an end to the war but it was already toote as he had not been informed by the tribal chiefs of the situation.
When he got to her city, all had perished except her¨Cbecause of her will to survive as she fought vigorously till herst strength.
A stray tear trailed down her cheek as she could vividly picture all that she had seen before she was selected into Hisha''s harem.
Her eyes burned in a murderous rage and so did the intensity of her hold on Lilt.
"Your race has a strong disdain for fire, am I right?" Sra questioned with a twisted smirk.
Lilt struggled to get free but was feeling her skin sag slowly. ''No... No...''
Clenching her fists, Sra targeted the main head signatures on Lilt. "How about experiencing the excruciating pain from multiple specific areas only on your emotions?"
Lilt couldn''t understand what she meant as her main focus was still on the burning pain within her.
''Experiencing slight difort in your chest and a little in the head would indicate fear!'' She made a mental note.
Lilt''s eyes were forcefullypelled to put on a glow. "Aaahhh!!!"
Her body shook as she felt a throbbing pain in her chest and head.
''As expected!'' Sra thought with a smirk, before easing her hold on Lilt.
Hisha furrowed his brows not understanding what was going on with Sra, she was intentionally dragging on the fight, it almost looked like she was enjoying it.
[Sra was known to consider those who had tried to oppress her as predators, do you know what she does to these kinds of people?]
A loading ellipse continued to beep as HTC awaited Hisha''s response.
''Kill them? You know I wasn''t present in her life until only recently.'' Hisha defended.
When he heard HTC cackle in amusement, he could only guess that he wasn''t on the right path.
[She would torture her predators before going in for the kill. This was what she had done to the rest that had attacked and killed her family and race]
''She''s the only survivor of her race.'' Hisha''s eyes widened as he narrowed his eyes at Sra.
He could fully understand why Lilt''s words had struck at her like a knife to the heart. It wasn''t just striking but opening up healing wounds by that sentence.
HTC analyzed the situation carefully before it came up with its verdict.
[She is as good as dead!]
''What?!'' Hisha got to his feet. Even if Sra had gone ballistic, he wasn''t going to allow her to kill a fellow harem. They weren''t wearing armor, to begin with.
Wae looked at Hisha with concern as he nudged Vanas and the others whispered to each other as they wondered what their master was nning on doing.
Kritz turned around, wondering what his lord was nning on doing.
Hisha stood without saying a word, it looked like this was quite normal for them, so he sat down in suppressed rage.
Vanas on the other hand looked at his lord with a bit of admiration, he knew he had no interaction with Lilt yet he had wanted to stand up for her in her helpless situation.
Turning his face back to the arena, he closed his eyes as he epted the repercussions of Lilt''s action. ''Your sacrifice would not be forgotten.''
There were still some other vampires who had been chosen to be part of the harem and Lilt was just one of them.
Sra had caught on to the action of Hisha from the corner of her eye before he sat back down.
As she stared at the anguish on Lilt''s face, for a second she did feel like the monster her people were described to be and felt a tingle of guilt to be acting this way to a fellow harem member and she had to make apromise, one she had never envisioned on doing.

As per the body heat signature, a chart that would be used as a future reference would be posted on my Discord channel (I had merely used the heat signature¨Cfear chart)
? Any idea on thepromise Sra wants to carry out?
Chapter 32 Bring It On, Little Sis!
Increasing Lilt''s body heat to a great degree, she chose not to continue with the torturing but give her a quick death.
There was no way she could let Lilt survive, not after the mistake she had made by dragging her people into the conversation.
Hisha rubbed his chin and put on a stone-cold face determined never to be disturbed even by his harem''s tournament.
[Strange, no reaction, host?]
HTC mocked, as it felt there was no need to butt in at the previous instance, it needed Hisha to learn about the workings of this world himself if he wanted to survive fine.
''If they want to kill each other in the arena, they have my blessings. Only the strong survive anyways.'' Hisha replied coldly with a shrug of his shoulders.
After a few seconds of seemingly nothing, he clenched his teeth when he saw Lilt explode from an impact made by Sra.
[500 points acquired]
[100 points granted]
[Harem: 6257]
Hisha stared at the translucent screen that popped up, he was more than satisfied with the performance, so long as he benefited from it.
He had umted a total of 4600 points just from the activities of his harem and the tasks he had aplished which excluded the points he would gain from each victory of his harem.
After the tournament, he had made up his mind about using the inventory section.
He had noticed the figures reduced and a smile grew on his lips. The lower it was, the faster the tournament would be over for the day.
[Duel: 7]
[Number of possible harems participating: 14]
[Victories: 1]
[Points umted during the tournament: 500]
Hisha created an invisible shield around the harem who had been watching. The blood and flesh bounced off the shield, falling to the ground.
The only unlucky one was Sra who had blood sttered on her body, but she seemed not to care as she let out a derangedugh, wiping at her face.
Zui watched with concern, it was one thing to win a tournament, but it was another to bring out the beast in those she wished didn''t show it to a frightening degree.
Sra turned towards Hisha and bowed. With the glow in her eyes deactivated, she reverted to her innocent demeanor and gave an eye-shut smile.
Giving a single nod of acknowledgment, Hisha looked over to Kritz to make the announcement.
"Sra Nyx wins the first round!" He announces in a loud voice.
The crowd cheered as Sra returned to the others.
Zui materialized a cotton towel that dropped on Sra''s head.
"Clean up, you bloody little brat." She joked which earned her augh from Sra while she did as she was told.
Zui examined Sra''s body in search of the scratch marks but was amazed by her healing abilities.
"Woah, it''s as though you never sustained any injury. Is this the benefit of being a phoenictix?" She gawked in awe the moment Sra sat beside her.
Sra grinned from ear to ear but said nothing about her healing abilities. She had only one weak spot¨Cher head, the only one which would take a while before it could heal or she dies from huge damage there.
"Let''s focus on the tournament, shall we?" Sra giggled and looked forward.
They all watched as Wae dipped his hand into the hovering silver cup, and pulled out yet another two pieces of paper.
Kritz on the other hand was reluctant to take it from him, a look of disdain and strife effortlessly spread across his face.
When he was given a stern look by Hisha, he grudgingly snatched the papers from Wae.
Wae let out augh at the attitude disyed by the Vandrik, he was only this rude because of his power and backing.
Opening up the paper, Kritz had a devilish smile.
Hisha tilted his head and wondered what could be as interesting to bring out such a reaction.
"Ema Hui and Emi Hui." He announced.
''That sounds like a twin name.'' Hisha noted in his thoughts, awaiting confirmation from the harem members that would step out and from HTC on its character status.
[Name: Ema Hui]
[Height: 163cm]
[Race: Human]
[Rarity: Twins¨Cyounger]
[Name: Emi Hui]
[Height: 163cm]
[Race: Human]
[Rarity: Twins¨Colder]
Hisha leaned forward after reading their character status, he had never envisioned that there could be a possibility of sisters picked to be his harem and also paired against one another.
''It just gets even more interesting as the tournament goes on.'' He thought with a smirk.
From his knowledge of the human world, he could already guess how this would y out with no ability involved¨Cthe use of weapons and armory might be used.
There was a gasp from his harem at the strange selection as they watched the twins step out.
Silver, shoulder-length hair double braided to reveal a charming face. Darting amber eyes took a nce at Hisha.
She wore a set of armor which has a coif with a faceguard shaped like aughing face on her hair. Attached to the top is a leather piece used to attach long, colored hairs which flow towards the back.
The shoulders are fairly squared, tall, andrge. They''re decorated with a bull''s head on each side, both sides have a metal ring through the bull''s noses.
The upper arms are protected by rounded, half-covering rerebraces which sit loosely under the shoulder tes. The lower arms are covered by vambraces which haveyers of squared leather on the outer sides.
The breastte is made from many diagonalyers of leather and fur with rounded edges and decoration pieces. It covers everything from the neck down and ends at the groin, but the shoulder area is fairly exposed to allow for more movement space.
The upper legs are covered by a skirt of diagonalyers of leather and fur reaching down to the knee. The front is open. The lower legs are protected by leather shin guards which haveyers of curved leather with pointed tips. Thick cloth pants are worn beneath this all.
''That''s quite a preparation.'' Hisha cringed at the leather armor.
[Ema Hui]
HTC informed so he could distinguish between the two as opposed to the twins'' simr outlook.
Unlike Ema, Emi had her silver, shoulder-length hair in a single braid. Red tribal markings in the form of a diagonal line across her left amber eye mark her blood rtion to her sister.
She had chosen not to dress in armor like her sister, instead donning a ck crop top with high-waisted gray cargo pants fastened with a ck belt and tucked into her ck boots.
[Emi Hui]
''Yeah, yeah I get the logic!'' Hisha dismissed the user interface from his view.
With fingerless ck gloves, Emi ced her feet at a slight side angle and knees facing the direction of her feet. She beckoned Ema to take the first step as soon as she clutched tightly her push daggers. "Bring it on, little sis!"

Who would you want winning? or a higher chance of winning?

Or

Chapter 33 Give Up And Ill Let You Live
[Who''s your safest bet?]
''Whoever wins.'' Hisha deadpanned, he wasn''t going to make a wrong assumption on any and was more focused on knowing who would survive in the end.
[You''re a spoilsport!]
HTC put up an angry emoji before it closed its interface.
Hisha rolled his eyes and had his cheek supported by his right arm. ''In the end, only 7 would make it to the final round of this current tournament.''
His thoughts trailed to the fact that Alta had been a little too quiet for his liking. Her whereabouts were still unknown and what was more concerning was the fact that his harem was present¨Ceven Pesa grudgingly sat at the far end from the rest looking uninterested and inconclusive.
He had been able to spot those who had survived in meretrix one but his main concern would always be on the most unpredictable harem and that was currently Alta.
Calling on Kritz who took long strides to get to him, he went down on one knee to listen to what Hisha had to say.
"Where is Alta?" He hissed, she was part of the harem, yet didn''t act like one nor liked to be with the rest.
Kritz looked the other way suspiciously, closing his eyes momentarily and then opening them. He had tried to locate her presence and was disappointed that she had effortlessly hidden her Sux aura.
''That sly subus!'' He spat in frustration at the position he was in front of his lord.
When he raised his head to Hisha, he gave a shake of his head at the unfortunate situation. Careful of how he portrayed his words while some of the tribal chiefs tried to listen in.
ng!
Hisha and Kritz whipped their heads towards the sounding from the duel between the sisters.
Sparks of light flew into the air as they pushed off against each other''s des.
"You''re still so weak." Emi taunted with a cackle after she made a backflip.
Ema growled in rage as she charged once again at Ema. "I''m weak? Yet I was chosen to be here!"
Using a reverse grip on her push daggers, she waited for the right moment to strike.
Emi dipped and weaved right as Ema was about to reach her and sh downwards with the sword.
''What the hell?!'' Letting out a groan in pain, Ema looked at her bleeding arm and then red at Emi.
Emi shrugged and gave a devilish grin as she spoke once more. "Too slow with all that leather."
Ema had a bit of difficulty due to her injured arm as she pulled up her sword which had bored into the ground.
Quickly, before Ema could respond with a follow-up, Emi swiftly took out two throwing stars and aimed them at Ema''s cheek.
sh!
Ema''s trembling hands reached for her cheek which had two little cuts that had begun to drip blood onto the floor. For a second she was stunned by such an action, realizing that she was being toyed at by her elder sister.
"Come on, show me what our father had taught you, maybe I might show you some mercy," Emi shouted, dropping her push daggers to the floor and bringing up her fists in front of her.
Ema had a twisted grin as she wiped the blood off her face and as her sister did, she also dropped her sword.
Hisha pinched the bridge of his nose upon that disy, he couldn''t tell who was more foolish than the other. ''Are they really sisters?''
[Well the looks¨C]
''I get that! They sure are stupid right now, especially the one with the armor!''
He couldn''t get why Ema would give up the one thing that might give her a chance at winningter on for hand-to-handbat.
Some of the tribal chiefs were already cing their bets on the sisters andughing wholeheartedly at the show.
He couldn''t help but roll his eyes, it was already certain who would win and the fact that a wrong move had already been made angered him.
Emi punched Ema in the pit of her stomach, knocking the wind out of her, and stunning her for a brief moment.
Ema was forced back as they were getting to the edge of the arena, despite her counter-offensive.
"What''s wrong little sis, are you going easy on me so I look bad?" Emi taunted and gave a quick blow which opened Ema up for another attack.
Bam!
A wide grin spread on Emi''s face, putting a simple sidekick into Ema''s stomach, doubling her over. Quickly followed that up with a quick-rising uppercut.
Bam!
"Oooo!" The crowd watching their fight let out a collective wince for Ema.
Hisha clicked his tongue and had given up on any hope for Ema, it would be in her good interest if she just gave up. ''She just wore that armor knowing fully well her capabilities, how pathetic!''
[So... About that bet...]
HTC dragged on its speech as it tried its luck once more with its host.
''Don''t even ask.'' Hisha snapped and reluctantly looked ahead.
Taking the opening and using the open space to her advantage, Emi did a backflip onto the wall which still had the crack marks caused by Sra''s collision, and pushed off towards Ema.
Emi''s eyes widened at the action and her eyestched onto the sword a few meters away from her and in the direction from which Emi wasing at her. This was her only chance and so she sprinted to reach it before she collided with Emi.
The maneuver sent her front flipping towards Ema and just before she reached her sister, she dipped her hands into her back pockets and brought out four throwing stars¨Ctwo in each hand and flung them towards Ema''s direction before she could reach the sword.
"Ahh!" Ema let out a scream in pain from the throwing stars that had bored into the back of her palms and one on her leg.
Emi ttened her body out, feet first. Instead of colliding with a kick, Emi chose to wrap her feet around Ema''s neck instead.
Raising her elbow and bringing it down with great force, she gave a strategic hit to Ema''s shoulder de.
Crack!
Falling to the ground with Emi still tightly wrapping her legs around Ema''s neck, she gasped for breath as she trashed about trying to get free. "Let... me... go!"
"Give up and I''d let you live because of father! Your choice!" Emi replied with a condition, maintaining her hold while letting out a peal of crazedughter.

What do you think Ema would do?
? Give up
Or
? Fight till herst breath?
Chapter 34 The Dreaded Finalist
Ema used every ounce of her strength to adjust her neck as she prepared for a bite.
"Arghhh!" Emi let out a scream in pain once she felt Ema''s teeth bore deep into her ankle drawing out blood.
''Wrong move younger one?'' Hisha clicked his tongue and frowned at the obvious response to a situation such as the one present before him.
Emi released her grip on Ema, but in a swift maneuver of her body, she snapped Ema''s neck with her hands.
[500 points acquired]
[100 points granted]
[Harem: 6256]
''As expected.'' Hisha internally facepalmed as he watched the horror-stricken face of Ema before she had been killed by the very person that shared her likeness.
[What do we call a twin that isn''t a twin anymore?]
Hisha rolled his eyes at the weird linesing from his system, he suddenly preferred when it spoke on his harem with an edgy interface.
''Could we just watch this barbaric show in peace?'' Hisha snapped in irritation.
Limping and hopping back to the rest, Emi sighed and spoke, "I had told you that there was still a lot you needed to learn."
There was a deafening silence that followed as they watched Emi tear up, her lips quivering as she dropped to the floor and crawled towards her sister instead.
The feeling of what she had done had just rushed back in and when realization set in, she felt her whole world had crumbled.
''I had thought that we would be able to celebrate our victories together for a time before all of this.'' Her eyes examined Ema''s pale skin and darkening lips.
''Why? Why didn''t you just give up when you had the chance?! Why did you have to force me to do this?!" She wailed and pulled on the leather on Ema angrily.
"Emi Hui wins the second round!" Kritz announces in a loud voice.
Hisha narrowed his eyes at Emi who was still wallowing in despair. ''We get it, she''s your twin sister, but you didn''t ept to remove my mark on you when you had the chance!''
There was no way he was going to feel pity for any, they had dly epted their fate even though he knew some had done so for ulterior motives.
[The tournament would root out 90% of the unworthy and cunning]
HTC consoled, seeing the conflict on its host. He had been able to make one bond with his harem and that could only signify Alta''s strength and loyalty inparison to the rest for the time being.
''There are sometimes Pesa''s words ring in my ears.'' Hisha had a bitter smile on his lips as he watched Emi get to her feet and wipe away her tears.
[Even though most might not genuinely love you, that doesn''t mean you won''t gain their trust and love in the end]
''In the end, eh? When would that be? After they kill each other and I''m left with the monstrous kinds?'' He spat with a sigh, slouching on his chair due to boredom.
The tournament interface opened up.
[Duel: 6]
[Number of possible harems participating: 12]
[Victories: 2]
[Points umted during the tournament: 1000]
''6 more to go! Yay!" He forced enthusiasm as he spoke with HTC.
It was the turn of Vanas to choose and he was ecstatic as he dipped his hand into the hovering cup.

"Yagami Miko wins the seventh round!" Kritz calls out minutes after the previous duel.
All stared at thedy who had her orange hair in a bob cut, the bangs framing her face trailing down below the bust of her short kimono.
What was peculiar about her was the fox ears that pricked up at the whispering from her right.
"Would you like to duel?!" She snapped at one of the harem members that had made a sidement.
Her fangs increased in length and her red eyes glowed as she prepared for another.
[That''s one feisty harem you got there!]
HTC took pleasure in the attitude of Yagami.
Hisha had a smirk on his lips at the disy.
Yagami had one of the fastest victories he had witnessed so far, she had been merciless and swift in her attack, sparing no opportunity for her opponent to counterattack.
Unlike the others, she possessed a dark aura and looked ready to pounce on anyone who got on her nerves.
Hisha could finally understand why some of the harem surrounding her had given her a bit of space that had circled her as though she was a gue.
[A sharp contrast to the initially sweet and innocent aura with Sra, am I right?]
''She does look promising, but how well do you think she would hold up with Sra or Alta?'' He had a devilish smirk as he watched Yagami return to the rest.
[85% chance]
[Sra and Alta''s abilities are considered a tad more dangerous than most of your harem and what''s more, they haven''t reached their pinnacle¨Cyet!]
Hisha listened attentively to the information and prepared for thest duel of the day.
[Duel: 1]
[Number of possible harems participating: 2]
[Victories: 7]
[Points umted during the tournament: 3500]
Mich rubbed his hands in delight at being thest one to get a chance at the selection.
"Here goes nothing!" He muttered to himself and brought out two papers that were taken by Kritz.
When Kritz opened the paper, his face fell at a name he saw, from the looks of things this wouldn''t be a fair fight no matter how well prepared the other party was.
For a moment Kritz had wanted to switch the paper, wishing to postpone the bloody scene.
Apart from Sra and Yagami, all had given a rather less bloody death to their opponents, in the case of this harem, it was nearly impossible not to act in crazed rage even on the dead body.
"Kritz!" Mich called out loudly, wondering what could make him freeze at the sight of the names.
"We don''t have all day! Read it out already!" He ordered impatiently.
''This wouldn''t end well.'' Kritz grimaced as he cleared his throat, ready to call out the names.

Chapter 35 Chances Of Surviving
"Alta Sus and Zui Mu," Kritz announced.
There was a loud gasp from the crowd at the first name, all those who had not been present had gotten word on who she was and didn''t need any introduction.
The majority of meretrix one all grimaced and held their breath as they looked in the direction of Zui who had a horror-stricken face at the pairing.
Hisha leaned forward and let out a subtleugh at what was going to happen.
[Chances of surviving, can you guess?]
''I''d ce my bet on 0% except a miracle happens.'' Hisha tantly replied.
[Couldn''t agree more]
Whoosh!
A hush of wind followed before a figure dropped to the floor with a cloud of smoke rising in the air.
[Warning? Yandere]
Hisha threw his legs over his left armrest and had a wicked smile on his lips. "Finally some show I could enjoy after the first round!"
''Let the tournament begin.''
Alta spread out her wings as she stretched, pping them the gust of wind dispersed the residue dust particles, her yellow eyes glowed as she took in the crowd around her.
A twisted grin spread across her face as her lips. "I was summoned."
Kritz flinched at her words and finally understood that she had intentionally hid her Sux until she was directly called to participate in the tournament.
Hisha got to his feet and with amusement written on his face, he took the responsibility for the call. "Wee to your first tournament."
[Exp+3]
Alta folded her wings and had a sweet smile the moment she was able to set her eyes on him.
Hisha nodded to acknowledge her, this was something he enjoyed in her presence¨Cher desire always popped up whenever she was with him.
Alta whipped her head in the direction of the rest and red hate at the harem, wondering who was Zui.
She could easily recognize those in meretrix one and her eye fell onto Sra. "Is it you?"
Sra returned the same energy with the glow in her eyes. "I wish demoness!"
The corner of Alta''s lips raised to the challenge. "It isn''t you," she concluded with a sigh and shook her head in disappointment.
Zui got to her feet and shook her hands off Sra. "I can do this."
Sra''s heart broke upon hearing those words. Her Sux was at risk with someone who had nearly an excess of it.
"You could always give up." Sra cut in during her moment of worry about Zui''s situation.
Zui patted Sra on the shoulder and proceeded to get into the arena.
Ripping a bit of her blue dress so it was just a knee-length jagged edge that would aid in better movement. She levitated and gently took her ce in the arena.
Alta scoffed and raised her chin at thepetition, "you were the one who had created that barrier thest time we met."
"I''m shocked you still remember my face." Zui spat.
"I never forget those I hadn''t killed off. Even the lowly ones." Alta retorted and had her wings spread out as she hardened her ck feathers, "remember this?"
There was a cry let out from a member of meretrix one, the horrors of what she witnessed and survived came rushing back.
The tribal chiefs oblivious to what had happened whispered to one another as they tried to get the story of what was so peculiar about this subus that they had never set eyes on, nor did they put her up for the selection.
"I was the one who picked her, do you all have a problem with that?" Hisha proudly cut in their murmurs.
He could only guess the original host had kept Alta a secret from the rest excluding Kritz in all of this.
She was the only one considered his harem as she had a little struggle to prove herself from the onset.
Zui had readied herself by creating a barrier around herself and pped her hands on the floor creating a magic circle that created a whirlwind around her.
This move was tricky as the attacks would be redirected towards the other direction and the harem, tribal chiefs, and Hisha would be caught in the ensuing battle because of this.
''There is no way she would risk everyone''s life because of on reckless action!'' Zui thought with a smirk.
Her once confident attitude died out when Alta gave a twisted smile. Her wings curved slightly and a barrage of razor-sharp hardened feathers shot out.
''What the hell?! The others would be affected if¨C''
Zui''s lips gaped open slightly as she watched the feathers get redirected at everyone but instead of making direct contact with any, they bounced off and dropped to the floor.
Hisha scoffed as he effortlessly created a barrier on the harem members once more. When he looked to his sides, he burst out intoughter.
He had intentionally left out the tribal chiefs to fend for themselves and they barely missed by a hair.
The most noticeable were Vanas and Wae, they had just missed the feathers piercing into their foreheads and the rest had their hairs pinned to the backrest of their chairs.
[Hanging heads ready to be delivered on a gold tter]
''Soon, I would dly give them the honors!'' Hisha had a wry smile.
Alta lurched forward with great speed and scratched at the barrier with much ferocity.
Bam!
Bam!
Alta had her fist punching onto the barrier like she had done thest time and had a crazed look with a big smile.
Sra gritted her teeth at the disy, she wished she was the one paired as her blood was boiling with untold rage.
''Don''t you dare die!'' She begged in her thoughts as she was forced to watch without assisting the one person that she had considered a friend.
"There''s no one to save you now!" Alta cackled, raising her fist covered in yellow Sux that overflowed from her knuckles.
Bam!
Zui created translucent spikes that broke upon contact with Alta''s fists.
"Pathetic!" Alta sneered as she gave another hit to the barrier.
Crrrk!
A collective gasp was heard from the rest and some clicked their tongue as they began to expect the worst.
Alta punched her hand through the crack with rtive ease and shed a death re at Zui.
They watched as Alta mouthed something to Zui and in an instant, her barrier deactivated.
''What the heck just happened?!'' Hisha questioned HTC.

? Do you think Zui would survive this?
Chapter 36 Are You Proud Of Me?
When Hisha got no response from HTC, he began to get frustrated about what Alta had said to make Zui deactivate her ability without putting up a fight.
Alta quickly grabbed Zui by the neck and smashed her hard to the ground.
Sra leaped to her feet in shock, there was something wrong with Zui as she made no effort in fending off Alta.
"What the heck are you doing Zui? Get the hell up!" She screamed out in rage, the feeling of interrupting the duel growing.
Hisha forced her to sit and red at her. Shaking his head to her unprecedented interruption.
Sra held his re with a suppressed rage knowing this was what they had agreed on.
[Something doesn''t feel right, host!]
HTC informed him as it analyzed the situation before it.
Hisha scoffed and rolled his eyes, wanting to know to what extent Alta could go when she was given free space to do as she pleases.
Zui had her face covered in trails of blood that dripped as Alta raised her high into the air with one arm.
Her legs dangled as she was raised above the floor.
"I¨CI give up!" Zui blurted out and coughed out blood.
Alta smirked and had a grin on her lips as she whispered, "good girl, know your ce and you would survive."
With that, she dropped Zui to the floor.
Thud!
[500 points acquired]
Alta red at Sra and mouthed the words, "show me how strong you can be and I would spare your friends just like I spared her."
Sra held her re for a moment, but rushed towards Zui, using the same towel to wrap around her head.
[Duel: 0]
[Number of possible harems participating: 0]
[Victories: 8]
[Points umted during the tournament: 4000]
Ding!
[Total Points earned: 9100]
Hisha''s mouth gaped open at the weird showdown that happened. That wasn''t how the tournament was meant to end.
''What the fuck just happened?!'' Hisha hissed and expected exnations from either HTC who could hear him in his subconscious or Kritz who might be having simr thoughts as he is.
[Alta made apromise for a bigger opportunity to cause more carnageter on]
Those words sounded strangely annoying and he frowned at the climax of what had happened.
There was silence all around as they watched Zui being catered for by one of the harem members who had a healing ability.
Kritz was too stunned to announce as he joined in staring at Alta who just stood proudly with her head raised high.
Her bloody hands had stained her blue revealing double slit ankle-length dress while she tried to wipe it off.
''How the hell did my master rescue such a beast?!'' Kritz furrowed his brows when he remembered the first time his lord had introduced him to Alta.
It was unbelievable that such a female with the ability and temper as she did would ever need anyone''s help.
Alta spotted Hisha among the crowd and immediately went docile with a bright smile and waved at him. "Are you proud of me?"
''Proud of her? Why would I be¨C'' Hisha''s eyes widened in realization and let out a low curse.
[Remember themand you had given her a few days ago?]
Hisha pinched the bridge of his nose, suddenly hating himself for giving her such amand and yet the others flouted it unknowingly while in the tournament.
Giving a nod of confirmation, he tried his best to look neutral and unaffected.
[Exp+4]
Ding!
[Exp: 69]
[Level up!]
''How did I forget this rule?'' Hisha questioned himself in self scorn.
Although there was a part of him that wanted Zui alive basically because she was the first he had met and bold enough when the others in meretrix one were reluctant at first. She had also risked her life to save the others alongside Sra when meretrix one was attacked.
Another wished to see how crazy Alta could be in the arena. There was no limit to what she could do, but after what he had said, his mood fell drastically.
''Who would have thought that it was best to modify thatmand?!'' Hisha internally facepalmed and let out a bitter smile.
[You learn from your mistakes or regrets, host]
It all began to click on what Alta might have whispered to Zui before the deactivation of her ability¨Cthe chance to be alive if she doesn''t put up a fight and ept a taste of her strength while she''s still a bit docile.
He could liken Alta''s attitude to a predator not willing to devour dead prey because it feels uninterested in an easy target but finds the thrill in chasing after it.
Alta considered her foes as prey, to which she was ready to chase if they showed the slightest chance of struggling.
Kritz cleared his throat, "ahem!"
As soon as the word left his lips, all attention was drawn to him once more.
"Alta Sus wins the final round!" Kritz announces.
Alta squealed in delight and pped her hands like a baby as she twirled in the air with her wings wrapping around her until she got to her feet safely.
This switch in attitude shocked everyone who had witnessed her other side. As she flew in the direction of the rest of the sitting harem, there was a bigger space left in her wake than Yagami did.
This had forced the tribal chiefs to stiffly turn their heads towards Hisha in fear mixed with curiosity.
"My lord, how did you acquire such a rare race of demons? Moreso a subus which is the rarest of their race." Mich spoke on behalf of the rest.
The tribal chiefs nodded without saying a word, this secret harem wasn''t just hidden because she was beautiful but was deadly dangerous just from her aura which rivaled Sra''s.
Instead, they suddenly preferred Sra''s subtle approach to things to this new Harem¨Cit looked like she cared for no one else other than Hisha and that was an issue in the ns they had for his harem and Hisha.
Alta looked ready to kill anyone only if Hisha made a snap of his fingers, that alone scared the hell out of them as their skins paled.
Suddenly curious about the true method of the original host gaining the trust of Alta had him y along with the tribal chiefs, "you want to know how?"
They all gave a light nod of their heads, awaiting his response.

Chapter 37 Reward For Obedience
"How about you ask her? Alta would be d to answer such an innocent question." Hisha said with a grin.
The tribal chiefs all cringed at his words and shook their heads, no one was willing to risk their lives for such a trivial matter.
Getting to their feet in a rush, they bowed to Hisha and requested to be excused.
''Finally, the old geezers would be gone.'' Hisha praised his thoughts while masking them with a stoic face and giving them a nod.
[Time to increase your desire points! Are you excited?!]
HTC gave an evil smirking emoji at the thought of what could be done with Alta.
''You''re such a lewd system, yes that is what you''re meant to be called.'' Hisha countered.
The tribal chiefs all chorused, "long live Lord Hisha!"
Dashing out without another word down the stairs.
Kritz walked up to Hisha and went down on one knee as he awaited his verdict. "My lord..."
"They may return to their meretrixs." He announced with a nod.
The majority of the harem members let out gasps at his words, not because of what he had said but what it would mean for them.
If they were ''all'' meant to return, that would also include Alta and that was a dangerous line they dreaded to cross.
Alta sat with her wings spread out intentionally, her hands wrapped around her legs as she pulled them closer to her bust and stared at Hisha from the distance.
[It''s amusing how most of your harem are scared of innocent Alta]
''Innocent is an overstatement.'' Hisha countered.
Getting to his feet, he rified what he meant, "all would be returning to their various meretrix except Alta¨Cshe''sing with me."
Sra mumbled a few words as she held onto Zui. She wasn''t pleased with the news but went along with it as she had no choice.
The remaining harem members all filed out in a single line which left Alta in the arena.
Alta got to her feet once she knew they were alone and flew towards Hisha.
Latching her hands around Hisha''s neck, she gave a peck on his cheek and pressed her bust on him, and whispered into his ear. "How would you reward me for being good?"
''Acting like a true subus!'' Hisha let out subtleughter.
Kritz felt the atmosphere get heated even for him, when Alta red daggers at him, he knew it was time to excuse himself and know his ce.
"My lord, it would be best if you get to your room. The weather out here is a bit cold." Kritz tried to convince Hisha to continue there.
[He''s exining you get it on with Alta in the best ce where you wouldn''t ruin his Innocent mind]
HTC cackled and ced a smirking emoji.
Hisha dismissed the interface and narrowed his eyes. "Yeah, that''s true."
Swooping her off her feet, he held her in his arms and headed down the stairs.
"I''d like to go hunting tomorrow, prepare what I would need," Hisha informed without looking at Kritz.
Kritz nodded with a smile.
*****
In Hisha''s bedroom,
Dropping her on the bed, he watched her silky ck hair spread around her head.
[Desire level high]
He had gotten used to the fact that her wings and horn would dematerialize whenever her desire level increased.
Pinning her hands over her head, he could see the blush staining her cheeks, her mouth slightly opened and huff of breath escaping.
"I did promise to reward you if you obeyed and I''m surprised you did obey even when I had forgotten about it." He exined.
There was no way he was going to miss an opportunity in rewriting his condition on her.
"I''m d you were able to listen to my condition, but there would be readjustments to it." He began and paused to gauge her reaction.
Alta scrunched up her nose in displeasure, she had fought her urge to kill Zui in the arena and now he was suggesting giving her a readjustment.
Grudgingly, she nodded her head to his words and waited.
Hisha patted her head and smiled, he was happy to see her willingness to obey him even though it was difficult to be submissive.
"In the arena, you are free to do as you please, I would fend off any attacks that might harm the harem in the ensuing battle with your opponent." He exined with a grin.
Alta''s eyes bulged as she was stunned by the update, this was something she had never envisioned could be given to her on a silver tter.
[Exp+5]
''Damnit, she''s draining my Sux by this.'' Hisha hissed in his thoughts.
He had been happy about the random exp she had given which rivaled the rest of his harem but that would also mean a corresponding reduction in his Sux.
Requesting a character status so he could get a bit acquainted with his current situation. He took a nce at it.
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1002]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 850/1000]
[Meretrix: 1]
[Points: 9100]
[Exp: 6]
[Total number of your harem: 6251]
Alta held the side of his head and searched his eyes, "you seem distracted, my lord. Am I not pleasing you anymore?"
Her eyes fell right after saying those words and she bit down on her bottom lips, wondering what she had done wrong.
Shaking his head, he took her lips greedily, and for a brief second, she forgot her worries and fought for dominance with her tongue.
Pulling away, he had to make sure she understood his new condition, "are we clear on what I had said earlier?"
Alta bopped her head to his request, there was no way she would turn down such a good opportunity at satisfying her killing intent on the weak links in his harem.
Leaning downward, he ced both arms at her side and nted a kiss on her forehead. "You should be rewarded for being such an obedient harem to me."

Chapter 38 Show Me How Much You Want It ?
[R-18]
***
Reaching underneath her dress, he grabbed a mound full of her right breast and gave a light squeeze.
"Mmmmfff!" Alta let out a moan as she bit down on her bottom lip.
Unwittingly opening up her thighs so he could have a glimpse of her waxed crotch.
Pinching on her nipple till it had hardened, he pushed away the dress that had obstructed his view of her clitoris.
cing his free hand to her side to stabilize his position, he came down on her for a kiss.
Alta wrapped her legs around his waist and tried to pull him closer in. "M-More!"
She let out a moan into his mouth and bucked her hips on his erection.
As much as she enjoyed him trying to take things slow, there was a limit to how far she could go with this.
Pushing him by the chest, she frantically shook her head. "I want your cock in me now!"
Hisha couldn''t stop himself from letting out a light chuckle in amusement.
"How about you show me how much you want this?" Hisha''s hoarse voice fanned her face and he stared down at his erection.
Alta bobbed her head in response, eager to show how much she wanted it.
The moment he got off her, she slipped down her dress and threw it on a burnt-outmp stand.
Her hands crossed over her nipples which made her busts pop and almost spill out of her grasp. Her face was a bright shade of red as she stared at Hisha with a hungry expression full of desire.
[Exp+10]
Standing his ground, he kept a kneeling position on the bed and waited for her next move.
The bed covers creased under her knees and hands as she crawled toward him slowly, giving him an ample view of her giggling buttocks and breasts.
Once she had gotten under his erection that had created a tent in his pants, she gave a hard and long stare at its size and could already fantasize about what it would do to her.
Her handstched onto the waistband and without another thought, she reached in a little further and took a hold of both the pants and his underwear and pulled them down.
His erection sprung and poked on her nose unexpectedly. Her eyes widened at the gesture, and as soon as she regained herposure, she could wrap her hands around to cover the total length.
Covering up the remaining distance with her wet mouth, she pushed her head further until she met her fingers.
Hisha let out a groan in pleasure at the strange feeling this brought to him. Experiencing the feel of her moist lips and the light graze of her teeth sent tiny shockwaves throughout his body.
As Alta bobbed her head on his cock and made up for the rest of it with her fingers, she maintained eye contact just so she could gauge his response to her touch.
Hisha held onto the side of her head subconsciously bringing her closer to take more of his cock.
Alta''s eyes bulged with the action and had to quell her gag reflexes and take it in till she had reached the base.
[Fetish: Gagging]
Hisha had his mouth in an ''o'' and pulled out and thrust back in immediately.
"Ummf!" Alta let out a muffled moan at his action.
Finally getting a hang on his thrusts, she moved along with a slurping sound.
ying with his balls, she derived pleasure in the sounds he made as he thrust in and out of her mouth.
Hisha pulled out with a pop from Alta''s lips when he realized how far gone he had been.
Alta''s eyes were glued on how he had still managed to stay erect and was mesmerized by it.
Pushing him so heid on his back, she pulled the rest of his clothing down his legs, kicking it off the bed.
A smug look was stered on her face as she climbed over him, "c-can I?"
Hisha raised his head slightly and was stunned by her willingness to ask for his permission before going ahead.
With a nod of his head, she had a bright smile to his affirmation.
[Exp+9]
Pressing her crotch on his erect sheath in front of her, she ground against him and let out a moan while throwing back her head to the little pleasure she got as her juices trailed down and onto Hisha.
Ascertaining that she was ready while sitting up straight, she aligned herself over his cock, cing her hands on his chest.
Holding his erect cock in one hand, she slid down onto it slowly as she took his length inch by inch until she had all 12 inches in.
They both let out loud moans and had their heads thrown back for a moment.
Alta pulled back her head and leaned forward over him, using her hands to support herself by cing them on either side of Hisha.
Swiveling her hips like a dancer, her mouth was slightly open as she slowly changed her pace and began to switch from bouncing or grinding on him so she could control the depth and rhythm.
''I could do this every day!'' She squealed in her thoughts.
Rocking back and forth with her pelvis tilted away from Hisha''s face, she used this to stroke his shaft with her canal, feeling it graze her clitoris.
"Yes! Yes! I need more of your cock!!!" She moaned in ecstasy while closing her eyes.
''Such crude words!'' Hisha groaned the moment she clenched her walls around his cock intentionally.
Her vision clouded as her hands gave way and she was securely held before she crashed on him.
"How about I take over for a while?" Hisha said with a grin. With that, he pulled her in a hug and held onto her butt cheeks. "I can''t take your pace anymore, let''s tune it up a bit."

Chapter 39 Dangerous Lust ?
[R-18]
***
Swiftly flipping their position, he made sure he was still connected. Pulling a pillow, he arched her back with his hand beneath her and ced it underneath.
Alta locked eyes with him all the while gauging his reaction.
Hisha noticed her silent gaze and felt self-conscious for some reason.
Thrust!
Alta''s concentration was broken as she let out a gasp the moment he filled her uppletely, her back arched from his movements and her head thrown back.
"Take me!~" She beckoned him to move.
Because of her words, Hisha chose to take things slow and focused more on her breasts. Leaning downwards so he had his mouth over her right upright and pink nipple, he pinched on the left.
Alta let out a squeal of pleasure at the action. She could feel the pit of her stomach tingle.
Closing her eyes, she decided to live the moment and enjoy the feeling that came with it. Her handsbed through his hair and she pushed upwards so he could take more of her.
The little moans that escaped her lips and her legs wriggling beneath him as she tried to buck and urge him to move, only boosted his morale to continue and prolong his actions.
Alta''s eyes involuntarily glowed as she felt her desire level increase tremendously.
[Desire level extremely high]
''What the heck does that mea€¡°''
Hisha had not gotten enough time to question HTC on this upgrade in the level at which Alta was previously.
She mped her walls on his throbbing shaft which made Hisha let out a groan in slight pain.
[Warning host!]
[Desire level increases and upgrades to a dangerous lust, so does the number of Sux deducted double if you do not satisfy her ordingly]
''Satisfy her ordingly?! What the fuck does thata€¡°''
Hisha was stunned at how strong she had developed as she managed to flip them over again with her on top.
cing her hands on his chest, she trailed her fingers on them and circled them. Her mouth was slightly opened with the lustful glow in her eyes fixated on where they were connected.
[Do not fall into an unconscious state!]
HTC added its warning, wary of what she might do as a subus. It had wondered what could trigger that side of her all the while its host had engaged in sexual activity with her.
[You had triggered her dormant subus tendencies and undoing this might drain you physically and mentally!]
Hisha''s eyes widened in horror at the warning given to him by his system. If HTC could repeatedly stress the importance of the situation, it could only mean he had crossed a line he shouldn''t have.
''Why did you decide to tease, Hisha? Why do you invite trouble this way?'' He reprimanded himself as he felt her lean on him which stirred his cock and sent tiny shockwaves through him.
Pressing her breasts on his chest, she whispered into his ears, "I promise not to hold back anymore, my darling."
''What? You were holding back?!'' Hisha''s breath hitched as she raised her hips, his cock slipped out just a bit and when she pushed down making her buttocks jiggle on his crotch, Hisha threw back his head in ecstasy.
Hisha was lost in the moment and was caught in her grasp on the side of his head. Steadying his head and greedily taking his lips with hers.
[Exp+10]
He could feel the drain in his Sux from the little deduction but couldn''t understand why it was that way.
[Body contact would drain your Sux double the desire points you get]
''She''s draining my energy in two folds?!''
[Yes, this is why you need to satisfy her before you lose consciousness]
''But it feels too good and I''m starting to feel numb in my legs.'' Hisha pointed out his concern.
[Remember, if she''s still on you when your Sux is drained, she would mess with your mind, inadvertently own your soul!]
HTC repeated the words it had cautioned him with in the beginning while it had briefed him on who Alta was.
As she bounced on his cock, she hugged Hisha''s neck to stabilize herself and intentionally pin him so she could take control.
"Is this fast enough?" Alta inquired in a sultry voice that had a soothing tone.
Hisha gritted his teeth at the pace she was going at him while he internally cursed at the loss of feeling in his legs.
''HTC I''m ready to use the inventory!'' Hisha yelled in his thoughts, feeling he had been caught unawares by the turn of events and if he didn''t counter her soon, he was going to fall hard.
[Ability: Time maniption]
[Inventory stats loading...]
[36% loading...]
[78% loading...]
[100% loading...]
Ding!
[Please select the item of specialization]
''Does this situation still need my words?'' Hisha deadpanned and expected some sort of help just like had he wondered if his first task''s item knew what he just wanted at the time.
[... loading]
Hisha gawked at the subus who was frozen in ce on him, even as she wasn''t able to move, she had also confined him to the bed with his reliance on the sort of item HTC would suggest for him.
Ding!
[I got one...]
Hisha''s heartbeat quickened at the prospect of getting himself out of the mess he had created.
[How many points did you acquire again?]
HTC teased as it reread the price of the item disyed for only it to see.
Hisha frowned and was not happy with the sort of tricks HTC was making of the situation. ''You are the one who disys my stats, yet you are trying to piss me off with that sort of question?! Remember she''s still on me!!''
The user interfaces closed as HTC contemted how he was going to put up the item without sounding a little too greedy for the points Hisha had umted.
[umted points: 9100]
[You would need an item that can temporarily quell her increased libido]
Hisha nodded his head and expected a full description and point range for it.
[It''s going to cost you quite a lot of points]
HTC informed with a nervous sweat-dropping emoji.

Chapter 40 Swallow The Pill ?
[R-18]
***
There was no use speaking on the quick depletion of his Sux, all he thought about was the adverse effects it would have on him once she took control and most importantly his physical wellbeing.
"You think that''s worse?! My cock could be fractured if she goes with that rhythm while on me!" Hisha said in a panic.
[...]
[Sedaer pill avable]
[It tastes heavenly only to the one whose libido would be quelled once swallowed]
"Does that include me if I ever get a high libido?" Hisha cut in on the information that was disyed before him.
[It can never be swallowed by the host and would be regurgitated in perfect condition]
"Oh, I see." Hisha stared awkwardly.
[Time limit: 1 hour before it wears off]
Narrowing his eyes at the time frame for the pill, he deduced it would wear off if the person in question didn''t get the libido satisfied while sober.
"This is technically the worst case offer." He berated with a frown.
[Are you saying you can''t satisfy your harem within that time frame?]
HTC mocked him with a rey of a finger going through a circle made by another finger.
"Nonsense! That wasn''t what I meant."
[Great! You would need 2000 points to purchase the item]
Nearly choking on his saliva, Hisha did a double take on the point needed to get the pill.
"We are talking about a pill that would only work for an hour." He blurted out in disbelief.
[We are talking about your cock which would be like a deted air sack soon]
Even though the words dide off to him as being mocked, he could understand that his system was only trying to look out for his sexual escapadester on.
Giving a slight nod of approval, he conceded for his benefit.
Ding!
[Sedaer pill purchased]
[umted points: 7100]
An oval transparent pill with a blue liquid hovered in the air waiting to be taken.
Opening his palm below it, the pill dropped on it.
cing it in his mouth and hiding it below the roof of his tongue, he watched as the time began to normalize.
Alta resumed her bounce on his cock and this left Hisha gasping a bit at the feeling.
She was slowly drifting into a lustful state and losing her sense of reasoning apart from the feeling she got from the action.
Closing one of his eyes, with the other squinting, he had to make sure that the pill was stabilized in his mouth and he found a way to pass it through the only way he knew how.
ying along, he grabbed a hold of her waist and gave an upward thrust the moment she went down on his length.
"Hold me close and ride on me like you mean it," Hisha said with a hoarse voice.
As nned, she leaned forward and pressed her breasts onto his chest once more, and brought her lips for a kiss.
[Exp+5]
''Yes, that''s it.'' Hisha thought with a smile.
With the position she was in, it felt a lot easier to thrust deeper into her cunt as he prepared his mind for the inevitable kiss.
Bringing her lips onto his, she fought for dominance the moment she tasted something beneath his tongue.
Opening his mouth and raising his tongue, he gave her ess to the bottom of his tongue.
A panting sound could be hearding from Alta as she licked on the pill.
''Swallow the goddamn pill!'' Hisha thought in frustration as she began to suck on his nipples aggressively.
Grabbing her by the back of her head, he pressed her down and back on his lips, if she wasn''t willing to swallow it, he would leave her no option but to do so.
Held in a lip lock, he tried to take back the pill from her as he swirled his tongue around hers.
Making his way past her slightly gaped lips and teeth, he slipped his tongue in, and sensing danger from her teeth, he pulled back immediately.
As expected, her upper teeth mped down on the lower one to prevent his intrusion. Seeing she had no way of keeping the pill to herself while still trying to satisfy her libido, she swallowed the pill greedily.
''Gotcha!'' Hisha grinned in satisfaction.
[Sedaer pill activated]
[Desire level stabilized for an hour]
Alta felt her initial drive vanish, before she could react to the reduction in her libido, she felt herself being flipped over.
With their positions swapped, Hisha had made up his mind not to build up too much sexual tension for Alta.
Pulling 5 inches out, he could feel Alta''s body spasm and her legs wrapped around him tightly.
He thrust in and pulled out slowly wanting to take his time and savor her as much as he could in her state.
"Darling, please I needa€¡°"
Thrust!
Her sentence was punctuated only by the force of his thrust.
Her thighs tighten around him the moment he rubs against Alta''s cervix and Hisha can feel her clench around him.
Grabbing onto the sheets, she''s tight and hot around him as he continues his agonizing pace. Her head leans back against the pillow and her eyes close.
Hisha watches her warmly, leaning forward he kisses her neck, getting a taste of her sweat and not minding its salty taste. He had wished he could take things slow so he could relish every moan, pants, and sound that turned him on.
His resolve was crumbling as he could see his desire reflect in Alta''s eyes as she took in more pleasure when he thrust harder.
His inhibitions began to loosen so he thrusts harder, faster, holding himself up with his hands by her side.
Pp!
Pp!
Pp!
...
Alta''s mouth was put in an ''o'' as she gasped and mewled, "faster!"
When her walls clenched hard on his length, he could only realize that she was on the verge of climaxinga€¡°this was his opportunity at escaping her return to a high and dangerous desire level.
Thrusting balls deep and hitting her cervix every time, he let out pants and grunts until she shuddered and let out a loud moan of ecstasy as she bucked her hips uncontrobly.
[Exp+15]
Her hips raised while he still pushed through her tight grip on his cock and thrust into her eagerly awaiting his release.
He was grateful for the overflow of juices that increased after her climax. It made it easier for him to thrust with reckless abandon.
Pa!
Pa!
Alta let out huffs of breath after her orgasm and asionally spasms rocked her body while she was pushed upwards due to his hard thrusts.
She watched with hooded eyes and mouth involuntary opening from the asional moans that escaped. Her hands reached for his face.
[Would you like to nt your seed]
[Yes/No]
''You already know my answer?'' Hisha quickly responded, needing to focus.
[I''d take that as a yes...]
HTC teased and could visibly see Hisha''s freeze, he tried to avoid looking at Alta so it doesn''t look as though he was giving her a death re meant for HTC.
[That''s a no, I get it. You''re no fun!]
Ding!

Chapter 41 Ready For An Adventure?!
The next day,
"Darling, wake up!"
Hisha shrugged off the voice, sleeping to his side to continue where he had left off in his dream.
Alta watched as he slept rather peacefully after she had passed out after numerous intense sexual activities.
Her lips pouted as she stared at him, thinking of a better way to start from where they left off.
cing her hand on his head, she whispered into his ear. "Dream of me."
[Warning ~ Subus'' attempt on triggering your sexual activities in your dream!]
Hisha felt his body stiffen after she had heard the words and let out an unintentional moan from the scene that began to y in his head.
In his dream, he watched as her buttocks jiggled with every thrust of his dick.
He only stopped when he saw the original host watch him from a distance and he had a wide grin on his face.
Lord Hisha chuckled as he materialized in front of Hisha who was unseen by the Alta in his dream.
She continued to buck her hips on Hisha so that he was left with no choice but to grab onto her waist and shook his head at the feeling.
''Why are you here?'' Hisha questioned, cautious of the appearance of the original host.
They had made a promise that he wouldn''t show his face again if he could satisfy his desires.
Lord Hisha looked at Alta''s blissful face and clicked his tongue,
Hisha frowned at the meaning and inquired to understand what he had meant.
Lord Hisha shook his head in disappointment and squatted in front of the dream materialization of Alta.
Grabbing her face and forcing it so she was aware of his presence,
Slowly disintegrating when Lord Hisha''s eyes glowed, he got back to his feet and looked down at Hisha.
Hisha was left stunned at the ordeal and looked at his body to find himself clothed in a ck silk bathrobe.
Looking over his shoulder, Lord Hisha''s furious eyes caught Hisha''s attention.
Hisha raised a brow at the outrage, unfazed by the original host''s fury.
Calmly responding, he thanked the original host for his help in reminding him of the dangers of being with a subus.
Activating the glow in his eyes so he could stand his ground with the demeaning aura seething off Lord Hisha. He also notified him that he was the current host and that he would never tolerate being looked down on even if it were the original host.
This disy of courage left Lord Hisha speechless for a few seconds.
Closing his eyes and nodding, he gave a warm smile,
''Lesson learned, all in the past.'' Hisha responded with a little smile.
With those words, Lord Hisha nodded his head as slowly began to disintegrate.
Outside Hisha''s body, Alta pulled away in an instant and panted with coughs. Her hand massaged her cheeks and stared at Hisha in horror.
Yawn!
[You would have lost your soul in the end, if the original host didn''t intervene! You ignored my warning!]
HTC attached a red pout face emoji and continued with an ellipse.
''It''s a miracle, one I''d be grateful for his help. I apologize for not taking note of your warning, I was too far gone in my sleep to notice.''
Hisha stretched out and looked to his side at the horror-stricken Alta.
[He stated nothing but the facts, do not be tooid back especially with a subus]
Hisha subtly nodded his head and raised a brow at Alta to mock her attempt.
She stared at him but said nothing of what she had experienced or why she had experienced them.
Hisha on the other hand had a grin with his back to her. Getting out of bed, he didn''t try to make eye contact with her as he headed for his washroom.
a€¡°a€¡°a€¡°a€¡°a€¡°a€¡°a€¡°a€¡°a€¡°a€¡°a€¡°
In the stables,
Hisha had dressed in a fully clothed and much simpler outfit than he usually would have worn.
His short-sleeved, ck cloth jacket covers him to his knees and is tightly tied with string at the top right side. The sleeves of his jacket are a little narrow and reach down to just below his wrists, they''re decorated with a decorative silver band almost at the edges.
The jacket has a deep, round neckline that reveals part of the traditional shirt worn below it and is worn with a thick decorative leather belt, which is held together by a small belt buckle.
His gray pants are simple and a little narrow and reach down to his furred boots made from rare fur.
Kritz looked at his lord in dismay and couldn''t help but question his choices, "my lord, your choice of clothing is a little odd for a hunting trip."
Hishaughed at hisment and agreed gleefully, "it is, isn''t it?"
Walking a few steps, he stops at a Friesian neighing at his approach. He was in awe at the beautiful color that glistened with the little sunlight permeating from the tiny holes created to give an aesthetic approach to the stable.
''Why do I feel some sort of attraction to this horse?!'' Hisha wondered as he took short steps closer to its stall.
The horse brought out its head and leaned forward with its brown eyes fixated on Hisha.
Instinctively, Hisha reached out for the horse to caress its thick mane.
Neigh!
Clip!
Clop!
It hit its hooves on the floor and raised its forelegs and snorted air onto Hisha''s face.
"Twet still enjoys yourpany as he should, lord Hisha," Kritzmented from behind with a stoic expression.
His red eyes watched the two interact for a while before he let out a cough to alert Hisha about their hunt.
Opening the wooden stall, Hisha let out Twet who majestically strutted out and awaited to be dressed for the adventure.
Hisha watched as Kritz did the preparation in a quick motion and dusted his hand when done.
Climbing onto his horse, he caressed the mane once more, and with a grin, he looked to his side where Kritz had already mounted his stallion.
''It''s finally time for some adventure aside from this citadel!'' He thought with a grin.

Chapter 42 Assessment With A Pearl °
[Slightly R-18]
Chapters with [¡ã] signifies a steamy scene that doesn''t go into detail and might not involve MC.
***
In Mertac¨Cmerfolk territory,
Mich''s chamber,
Knock!
Knock!
Hik, Mich''s right-hand merman stood in front of the 10 feet silver fortified door of his chief.
He had his fiery red braided hair pulled back. A body hug navy blue tank top was tucked into a loose wrap skirt.
Yellow eyes set on the door in hopes of it being opened soon.
A scroll in his hand as he waited for a response on the other side.
He took a step back when he heard a groan and moan on the other side.
Clearing his throat and rubbing under his nose at how awkward it was listening in on the steamy action by his chief.
Determined to speak on what the new information given to him, he exhaled and looked around and wondered why the guards that were meant to guard their chief weren''t present.
Click!
"Mership Mich," Hik called out to his tribal chief once the door was partially opened. "We got some news about¨C"
He stopped when he saw an unidentified maiden chosen among the numerous mermaids pushed up against the closed part of the door, her mouth open with her tongue out as she was jerked forward by Mich''s thrust from behind.
The subtle trembling of the door made Hik take yet another step back.
Mich had a smug smile on his lips as he thrust into thedy continuously. "What do you have to report now, Hik?!"
Hik forced his gaze to the floor, feeling it unforgivable to set his eyes on his chief''s nakedness nor that of the maiden chosen.
This had been a natural urrence for Mich. Their tribe had gone into the mating season, searching for the right female who would take up the tribe''s offspring, with his brother gone.
It was only a matter of time before he would rightly take up the title the merfolks address him as.
Hik had trouble reporting what he had been sent because of how awkward it was to be serious while the series of moans and grunts would overshadow his message.
They were not allowed to mate with any mermaid that had not gone through their tribal assessment done by the tribe''s tribal blue bloodline household.
If Mich and the maiden''s secretions were to mix and form a white and free of blemish pearl that could only be seen by the merchief and his close merman subordinates.
With the pearl, he would finally have a firm grip on his tribe and augment his power to defend his tribe from a potential threat.
Hik stood frozen in ce, gritting his teeth and ming his chief for torturing his sex-deprived soul by answering the door withoutpleting or putting a halt to his action.
"My mership, I dare not to interrupt you while you carry on the sacred ritual." Hik bowed and tried to hold his gaze on the floor.
His grip on the scroll tightened with regret. There was no way Mich wasn''t doing so intentionally to rub it in on any merman''s face.
Hah!
Mmm!
Mich let out a chuckle and pressed forward for Hik to report what he needed to say or he would have no other chance.
''Fuck this mating season!'' Hik spat in spite and tried to pull himself together before he would speak on orders.
"My mership, the maiden¨C"
"If she doesn''t produce the pearl, you know what happens to her. So do not worry about her listening to the information." Mich interjected and grunted when he felt the maiden''s walls clenched down on his sheath.
Seeing it as the right time to test out his theory, he shot out loads of his semen into her womb.
Hik let out a sigh of relief having understood they had shared bodily fluid and the result would soon be known, so he brought up the scroll.
Having his back to his chief, he chose that as a much bearable way to read out the information while the check was done on the maiden.
Her hair was in a disheveled mess covering her face, her fold twitched and glowed as a pearl formed in her.
Pushing a finger in, hopeful about the result. Mich searched for the pearl, he could hear her moan in response and open her legs wider for his finger to go in deeper.
Hik grimaced with the torture of hearing the moans that he had to hold himself up by cing his hand on a carved rock pir to his side.
Shaking his head and was unable to give the information until Mich was done.
Touching the smooth surface of the pearl, Mich pulled out her juice-covered pearl.
Cross-popping veins made their way to his forehead at the sight, it was a white pearl with a spiral of ck around it.
''Not again!'' He grimaced in regret and anger.
This was the same result as the rest of the mermaids that he had mated with.
k!
k!
Rrrrr!
Hik heard a pearl get tossed to the coral patterned flooring which rolled to his direction andid close to his bare feet.
''A defective pearl.'' He stared at it in horror and dreaded what would happen to yet another mermaid for not being the right mate.
His eyes searched the floor, clutching the scroll as he waited for his chief''s words.
Mich had a ruse smile and walked towards his closet to pull on his ck silk robe and tie the belt around his waist.
He had enjoyed the fun, but it also disturbed him that he had still gotten to a dead end and would have to continue with yet another mermaid right after he had gotten to know what Hik had to say.
"Could you rest in while I speak with Hik?" Mich gave a charming smile at the maiden.
''No, don''t go back in!'' Hik had wanted to speak but merely looked at the floor in horror.

Chapter 43 Deploy Soldiers For Some Hunt
"As my mership pleases." The maiden''s melodious voice flirtatiously replied with an upbeat, hoping to be considered the right one.
Hik gulped as he walked ahead knowing what was to take ce soon and couldn''t bring himself to witness the gruesome sight.
Mich winked at the maiden, "have a pleasant sleep."
Pulling the left-opened door, he locked her in and whistled with a mischievous grin on his lips.
"Hik! Wait up!" Michughed as he scurried towards his best friend and personally chosen right-hand merman.
Hik halted and froze as he stiffly turned to see Mich throw his hand over his shoulder and tousle his hair.
"Were you trying to ditch your friend?! I''m still the same wild and silly friend, remember?"
Hik grimaced but tried to keep hisposure and forced a smile, easing his muscles.
"Do we have to continue with this ritual?" He blurted out unconsciously, his eyes widened with fear at the slip.
Mich''s mood suddenly turned dark at the question and fell silent.
''What the hell is wrong with me?!'' Hik scolded his stupidity for picking on the sensitive topic of their tribe.
A scream could be heard from Mich''s chamber and Hik couldn''t help but grit his teeth at the gruesome screams that resonated from the distance.
Mich pulled Hik toward their hideout when they were kids and pulled on a shell then twisted it to reveal a secret hideout they could pass through.
"My mership, I-I don''t think..."
"Would you stop referring to me with that status when we are alone?" Mich hissed and pulled on Hik''s wrist.
*****
Coming out of the dark tunnel that was illuminated by glowing nktons on the walls.
Mich opened his arms and inhaled. Looking above was an arch made of clear water magically held in ce by the blue blood magic that was the very foundation of Mertac.
Hik was ufortable stepping foot in this ce as he watched fireflies hover in the air and scatter about, illuminating the cave-like structure in the form of a dome that had a bit of illumination from the mysterious holes borne into it.
The ray of light that seeped through looked as though the light could be held. Moths flocked to the source of light.
Hik stook awkwardly at the grassy terrain, his toes grabbed a few of them and for the first time, he felt a bit at ease.
Mich was caught up by how the blue scale markings on his hands transformed into real scales when he dipped it into the water arch, mesmerized by his nails growing into a w.
A grin spread out on his lips, but quickly diminished when he pulled them out and had already reverted to his pale skin with well-trimmed fingernails.
''Damnit!'' He hissed at the condition he had to meet to fully gain control of his transformation to his evolved version of himself.
Only the pearl could grant him the power to effectively control this part of him and the only reminder of what he didn''t have was this magical water arch he had found out while he snuck to spy on his father when he was the tribal chief.
Clenching his hand in a fist, his eyes glowed as he stared at the arch showing him only a half reflection of himself which signified an iplete power of the merchief.
Looking back at Hik, he pulled his hands behind him and walked toward his friend.
"Tell me, do you think I would be able to get the pearl?"
Hik nodded his head in affirmation, "if your father could get a glimpse of the power that is granted to a blue blood merfolk like your family, although suddenly fell ill and died a few years ago, he would have been great."
Mich let out a chuckle and patted Hik on the shoulder, "you never cease to amaze me with your response."
"If your brother had not been brutally murdered by that¨C" Hik found it hard to express himself in an attempt to speak ill of the werewolf tribal chief.
"It''s alright, my brother deserved what he got for almost causing the downfall of our territory with his speech with Lord Hisha," Mich exined with a stoic expression.
Hik was left speechless at how insensitive his friend had be after the death of his father.
Mich turned around so he could mask his devilish grin afterward, he rubbed his index finger and turned the silver ring with a fin insignia on it that belonged to his father, his twin brother, and now in his position.
''I had killed that old man to usurp the throne, and had instigated Wae to help me to end that cowardly twin of mine.'' Mich thought with his grin increasing.
In an attempt to steer the conversation in another direction, he questioned on the scroll tightly fisted in Hik''s hand.
Hik quickly brought up the scroll and nced over to Mich''s back contemting reading out its content.
"Go on," Michmanded, feeling his hesitation.
"The message is from an unknown informant..."
Mich turned around with a raised brow and snatched the scroll from Hik''s clutches.
Examining the paper, he spotted a green symmetrical triangr ornament outlined in gold of three inteced arcs on a circle.
This symbol had been ced above the words written below.
His eyes read the information in a rush and when he was done, he let out a peal of maniacalughter.
Hik flinched at how changed Mich had be just from reading its content. "Mich, don''t you think it would be unwise to follow through with a n from someone we barely know?"
Mich raised his arms and exhaled, "who would have thought there would be another secretly bold enough to want Lord Hisha''s downfall?"
Hik had wanted to chip in on what he thought of the situation but sealed his lips when Mich asionally snickered still deep in thought on what information he had suddenly acquired.
"It''s time we deploy a few of our soldiers for some hunting, don''t you think?" Mich questioned Hik with a twisted smirk.

Chapter 44 Follow The Blood Trail
In the forest,
The forest wasrge, shadowy, and lush. Its canopy was overshadowed by yew, maple, and linden, and rays of light bursting through their crowns allowed for disorderly ferns to cultivate the brittle leaves on the ground below.
Curling creepers clung to every tree, and a range of flowers, which were seen asionally, added yful elements to the otherwise unvarying view.
Setting his eyes on arge tree trunk, Hisha alerted the others of their settlement before they proceeded further on foot into the narrow space created ahead.
Gad looked to Loid with a gulp, unsure of the environment around them.
Psst!
Gad hissed in Loid''s direction but had been intentionally ignored.
''This forest spooks the creep out of me!'' Gad looked around him as his horse galloped to a halt as soon as his Lord dropped to the lush grassy field.
With his head raised high, Loid tried to maintain a properposure after being specially rmended to their Lord by Kritz.
With only the four of them on the hunt, he treated it as a privilege to watch lord Hisha hunt for the first time in years.
Gad had gotten off his saddle, almost managing to touch the grass with his leather boots when it got caught in the stirrup.
"Woah!" He eximed, ready to ept his fate.
When he opened his eyes, he could see he was six inches away from hitting his head but had managed to hold his position.
Flipping him with the aid of his white aura outlining Gad, Loid scoffed and raised his hand.
"You never fail to amaze me." Loid scolded, looking behind him to check if Hisha was looking at themotion.
To his relief, Hisha had his back to them and his arms opened wide taking in the forest''s beauty.
Releasing his hold on Gad, he watched as thetter dropped to the ground with a thud.
Walking to his partner and offers a hand to assist him up.
Gad ps his hand and gets up himself.
"What the hell was that for?!" Gad hissed and red at him with one eye closed because of the grass stain.
Loid had a grin, "your fall could have been worse if you had gone headfirst if it wasn''t for my intervention."
Contemting using his ability on Loid and watching him scream in pain.
Loid helped in securing their horses to the tree stump and dusted his fingers immediately after he turned around.
"Shall we?"
"You''re lucky we''re partners." Gadughed and closely followed Kritz who had waited behind so he could lead them into where Hisha had walked into.
Upon seeing the two, Kritz proceeded forward, slicing a few of the climbing branches that tried to cover the wall path.
Gad jumped back, skeptical about the condition of writhing vines.
Raising his head he could see the two already walking ahead of him, "wait up!"
Skipping, he jumped in just in time before another wave of vines covered the walking path.
While on the other side, he crouched over and exhaled.
A disharmony of wild sounds, predominantly those of birds and insects, resonated through the air and drowned out the sshing of fish in a nearbyke.
Hisha had pulled out his arrow and had his eyes on a gazelle.
[How many animals do you wish to hunt?]
''Shh!'' Hisha hushed and closed the interface in front of him.
The gazelle had its head down, drinking from the stream, oblivious to the glistering silver arrowhead.
Ffp!
The arrow tore through the air and lodged into the neck of the gazelle.
The distraught honking sound of the gazelle while it tried to sprint deep into the forest.
On the sight of the blood trail, Kritz''s eyes glowed with ecstasy and his fingernails grew into ws.
Hisha was taken aback by the unhinged behavior of Kritz, looking to his side, he had wanted toment on Kritz''s strange behavior when he felt a gust of wind which was caused by Kritz when he dashed in pursuit.
"Well, there goes the first catch." Gad deadpanned and shook his head.
''What does he mean by that, HTC?'' Hisha is suddenly curious about the change in character.
[A Vandrik tends to be excited at the sight of blood especially that of animals and those they see as weak]
Hisha did a double take on the meaning, turning to narrow his eyes at Gad who knew something his transmigrated body couldn''tprehend.
Beating him to it was Loid who nudged Gad in the side, "what is that supposed to mean?"
Gad groaned in pain and rubbed his side, ring at Loid.
Getting hisposure, he took a peek at their lord if he was listening in on their conversation before he replied.
Hisha, already suspecting this would have been the case had gone on one of his knees and had his palm on the floor, mimicking picking up signals of another target.
Gad nodded his head and let out a sigh of relief and turned to Loid and lowered his voice to whisper, "when he had just been recruited, there was a time he was dueling with one of the participants and had drawn out blood with a hard hit from his elbow on the opponent''s face."
Loid grimaced as he tried to picture what was told to him.
"Well that had drawn blood and he went all ballistic and hyperactive, thenter on brutally murdering his opponent, it was more like a blood bath as he attacked everyone at the time."
Loid scrunched up his face to the story, "if that''s true, how the heck are you still alive?"
"Ouch! That hurt my pride." Gad whined and made a pout.
"Is your pride not a little too solid for a soft guy as you are?" Loid taunted in a whisper and a smirk was present. "Save all the macho when you meet ady."
"Let''s follow the blood trail, I need to see my catch." Hisha got to his feet, tired of pretending until it became suspicious being in the same position for a long time.
Loid and Gad share a knowing look and gave a slight bow before tagging along behind Hisha.

Chapter 45 Time To Play God
Gad leaned to the side to whisper his continuation to Loid.
"I had covered myself in my slime. It was repulsive enough to exclude me from the gory sight that day."
Hisha walked ahead slowly, picking in on their conversation with a smirk.
"That''s disgusting!" Loid gagged and pegged his nose while shaking his head.
Not understanding what he meant, Gad took a sniff of himself andmented on the fact that he wasn''t carrying the putrid smell.
Sssshff!
A rustle from the bushes had Hisha stop in his tracks.
Loid had managed to pull back Gad before he collided with Hisha in front of them.
"Woaaah..."
Immediately covering Gad''s mouth with his hand, he too could feel a demeaning presence lurking in the shadows.
[Alert! Danger approaching!]
Hisha''s senses were heightened after the warning. He had originally thought it was a lost animal that he could prey on, but after the warning, it finally registered to him the seriousness of the situation he finds himself in.
Slowly letting go of Gad''s mouth, Loid rushed to his lord''s side, taking a defensive stance and activating the glow in his eyes, as did the Sux that outlined his body.
Hisha wondered where Kritz was at the moment, he had been too far gone to be let off so easily.
Blub!
Blub!
Gad''s attention was drawn to the bubbling stream behind. Taking a few steps back and closer to Hisha, he pointed in the direction.
"Something is in that stream." He alerted before clenching his hand in a fist and opening it once more.
Floating bubbles hovered above his palm.
Shooting the bubble in the direction, it dropped into the stream and with a snap of his fingers, the bubbles exploded with their acidic content.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The loud yell of pain only confirmed his suspicions¨Csomeone or something was lurking in the waters.
"At least they''re dead, right?" Loid tried to make light of the situation.
Hisha let out a light chuckle at the attempt of the unidentified group sabotaging his hunt.
Loid and Gad looked at Hisha with adoration, internally excited about seeing him in action after such a long while since Kritz had been by his side.
"Lord Hisha..." Loid had begun but was stopped with the rise of Hisha''s hand.
"Find Kritz, I have a feeling that gazelle was part of an borate n to lure him away," Hisha exined and made brief eye contact with Gas and Loid.
[You''re going to take down the threat, alone?]
HTC questioned out of curiosity, eager to know what its host had in mind.
''You''d know, so enough.'' Hisha replied with a little grin and had his head lowered so his hair cast a shadow.
An eerie vibe seethed off Hisha as he made mental preparation for what he was to face.
"My lord we can''t forsake our duties of guarding you with our life," Loid begged to fight alongside him.
"We can''t?" Gad muttered timidly, knowing his limitations as a guard and not a soldier.
"Find Kritz, report back only when you''ve spotted him." He ordered.
Gad pulled on Loid toply and begin searching for him while the trail was still fresh.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Sharpened tusks propelled with great force and speed in their direction.
Looking all around him, he froze time to observe all around him.
Making out the shadows of his attackers and the direction from which they came.
''3 at two o''clock, 5 at twelve o''clock, 4 at nine o''clock.'' Hisha made a mental note with a smirk.
[What do you n on doing, o mighty overlord?]
HTC mockingly joked at the expense of Hisha''s mood.
''It''s about time I yed god.'' Hisha had a twisted smirk.
Taking six steps forward, he reached out for one of the 17-inch long spiral and narrow tusks.
Turning around just one of the tusks, he gave a flick to its bottom, aligning it so it could lodge into the arm of one to keep a survivor for questioning.
Taking the same steps back, he deactivated his time maniption ability.
[Ability: Pyrokinesis]
''Now burn!'' His aura darkened as he watched the tusks directed at them burn which resonated with those who had hurled them in their direction.
All except one which had been torn through the trees and branches, hitting its target in the shoulder.
The sound of rustles in the bushes could be heard as the only survivor was knocked out unconscious.
Loid and Gad had their eyes widened as they watched tusks burst out in mes and several persons in the shadows light up as well.
Their screams were far gone after the mes had consumed them, leaving nothing but ashes in its wake.
They stiffly turned their heads toward Hisha in horror at the sight before them.
"Leave now!" Hemanded once more as his body shook from the seething anger of his subordinate missing.
Loid and Gad bowed slightly before sprinting as fast as their legs could go in search of Kritz and far from the anger of Hisha after the attempt at ambushing them.
Taking long strides toward the sole survivor, he looked down at the one person he could find answers to.
[He deserves death like the rest]
In times like this, Hisha was more than d to agree with HTC. There was no way he was going to tolerate a challenge and scheming ns against him and his rule.
The survivor had just barely opened his eyes when he was met with a re from Hisha.
Picking him by the neck and raising him above so his legs dangled, Hisha wasted no time in breaking a rib on the survivor''s side with his tight grip.
Krrk!
"Ahhh!" He yelped in pain and trembled in Hisha''s grasp.
"Tell me, who put you up for this?" He hissed in irritation, needing to join the two he had sent in search of Kritz.
Thrashing in his grasp, the survivor gasped for breath, hopeful of a chance to escape once the backup arrived.
[Alert! Threat rapidly approaching]
Looking over his shoulder, Hisha could sense something rapidly approaching behind him.

Chapter 46 Blessed Be The Triad Unity
"H-help!"
Hishaughed at the pointless call to the other who was approaching to save its partner.
On close observation, Hisha noticed ck scale markings behind the ear of his victim.
[Tribe identified-Merfolk]
Hisha stared at the marking and realized how simr it was to Frich and Mich''s markings¨Cwhich could only mean one thing.
''Pointless.'' He hissed and crushed his throat without thinking.
Holding the limp body, he looked at it in disdain as a growling noise was rapidly increasing.
Thud!
Letting go of the body, he turned around and was greatly surprised when his time maniption did not affect the approaching figure.
Scriiii!
He made a roundhouse kick at the creature before it could make bite at his legs. He watched it tumble across the floor crashing in on some trees.
Without requesting, HTC brought out the character status.
_____
[Race: Zorpha]
[Height: 165cm]
[Origin: ??]
_____
''A strange creature even for you, huh?'' Hisha clicked his tongue, clenching his fists as he prepared for an attack on the creature.
He noticed the creature''s body is covered in slimy scales and its shoulders are narrower than its pelvis.
[Something doesn''t feel right, be careful]
HTC warned after analyzing the situation his host was put in, that this was a creature that couldn''t strangely be affected by the time maniption.
Hisha bent over to pick up his dropped bow and arrowying on the floor to his side.
[What do you n on doing with that?]
''Myst hunt.''
Grabbing and holding firmly on the arrow by the ends, he raised the arrows and snapped them on his knee.
Looking at the jagged area of the arrow, he had a smirk and stared back at it.
The creature shoved its hand into the earth with rtive ease while it tried to push itself up. Its small muscr body is hunched over. Two average crooked arms hang at its sides and end in small hands with curvy fingers, of which it has 6 in total.
Its legs are short and stand straight, each ending in muscr feet.
Narrow-slit yellow eyes monitor its surroundings from its slimy sockets. A sharp nose rests below, but it''s the giant mouth below that takes all the attention.
Azy smile reveals monstrous jagged bloody teeth and a broad coarse tongue.
Wrinkled ears sit on each side of its average, thin head, which itself is covered in tattoo-like markings and has tworge tentacles protruding from the sides.
Scriiii!
It let out a shrill and rapidly approached in a crooked manner, jumping immediately for another attack.
Sidestepping, Hisha took the bottom half of the arrow, channeled a fraction of his Sux into his fingers and outlined the arrow, and plunged it right into the stomach of the creature.
There was a bit of movement and struggle with the creature scratching on his arm before dying. The blue blood from the creature mixes with his open wound and stung him.
He immediately retracted his hand and watched how his arm began to darken in different shades of ck.
[Toxins identified]
[Detoxification in progress]
[20%...45%...87%...100%]
Ding!
Inspecting the scratch, he was more than shocked about the injury is missing.
[166 Sux exhausted]
[Perks of having rapid healing ability but just like it is for healing someone else, it would be at the expense of your Sux depletion as per the state of your injury]
Calling on his stats to make sure of this fact, he saw the interface began with its detailed breakdown.

[Sux: 614/1000]
[Meretrix: 1]
[Points: 7100]
[Exp: 61]

_____
Nodding his head to the information, he looked behind him the very moment he heard a familiar scream from deep within the bushes.
[Task: Pacify Kritz]
With this new task at hand, he could only fear the worst might have happened to the guards he had sent.
Sprinting in the direction quickly.
*****
Watching from a safe distance,
Three hooded figures sessfully cover up their presence since the attack on Hisha.
They looked around at the numerous remains of the attackers who had turned to ashes and shook their heads.
Glowing red eyes of the leader watch when Hisha walks through the forest, with a dubious smirk.
"Such a weak constitution sent by that lowlife." The feminine voice of the leader spat in disdain, kicking on one of the ashes.
Although her face couldn''t be seen at first sight because of her distinctive furry white hood''s protective covering over her head.
Her style of dressing proved false to the hood ced on her head just like the two beside her.
The cape was pushed behind her shoulder, revealing pale skin barely covered by her armless tight fitted ck dress with a deep V-cut held by thin straps that are seductively clinging onto her nipples and hugging closely to her voluptuous chest.
Her ankle-length double waist slit flowing dress held by a gold triangr adjuster was pleated and weaved with several multicolored feathers.
Her hands akimbo as she stared at the direction in which Hisha had stood while defying time like they had suspected.
"He took the bait," a deep voice announced to his leader and his counterpart.
The males hovered as they sat in a lotus position, but had their eyes closed in meditation.
"Little Vandrik still has trouble epting who he is." One of the two opened his eyes and looked at their leader.
"There is no way we can trust these mortals to do anything worthwhile." The leader sighed with disappointment.
"it''s time to remind him of his roots." She announced as she looked to both sides. "But first, we need to synchronize our abilities to have a greater chance at sess against the overlord."
After meditating, the two males by her side got to the ground carefully and turned towards their leader, and groped her chest as their hands roamed freely around her body.
"Blessed be our Triad Unity." The males said in a monotonous unison as they undressed for their sacred ritual.

Chapter 47 Let Her Go, Trust Me
Outside the citadel,
Sra had managed to sneak outside with the help of Zui.
They had all sensed a disturbance in their marks which could only mean something was going on with their lord.
No one was told about Hisha''s trip to the forest, the only exception being Sra and Alta.
Immediately she felt the ripple sensation, she knew it was the perfect moment to sneak out in search of Hisha.
Without his rule or return, the wholend would be thrown into anarchy, and almost certain that a tyrant ruler from the tribal chiefs would fight and kill one another till there was a victor who would usurp the throne.
''No!'' Sra shook her head to the thought and focused ahead.
Looking back at the citadel with a satisfying grin at sessfully escaping, she thought about how she could prove her sincerity.
cing her hand on her chest, a smile began to grow when she realized that she could still feel the presence of his mark¨Cthis could only mean that he was still in a stable condition.
She was just about to run off into the thick forest path like she had remembered the description by Kritz, that Hisha would have taken for his hunt when she was held back by Zui''s hold on her wrist.
"Wait! I don''t think this is a good idea." She whispered in worry, scared of what would happen to them if a rumor spread about them escaping even though it was for the right reasons.
"Don''t tell me you would like to back down at the crucial moment?" Sra snatched her hands away from Zui in disappointment and disbelief.
Pointing usingly, she lowered her voice for them not to be found out.
"You''vee this far and now you want to back out? Do you know what that means for you if you''re caught and he''s still not back?"
Zui looked down as she fiddled with her fingers, unsure of how to make out the awkward situation she put herself in by helping.
Even though they had managed to leave, returning wasn''t an option without being with Hisha¨Cbeing their only hope of returning safely.
"I had simply done it to help, I didn''t think you''d drag me along..." She paused in her words as she stared ahead in a trance-like state.
Sra looked behind her and couldn''t understand what had gone remotely wrong with Zui.
Waving her hands in front of Zui to get her attention, "Kurg to Zui!!"
Whoosh!
Alta glided above them, making a U-turn before hovering and getting to her feet slowly.
The gust of wind caused by the swooping blew Zui and Sra''s hair in their faces.
Alta had her wings spread out before folding them as exhaling.
"Well, if it isn''t the demoness." Sra spat in spite.
Raising her hands in surrender, she finally decided to speak, "I am not here to start a duel but to help."
"Help?" Sra did a bit of body scan of Alta, her brows knitted as she constantly thought back to that unfortunate night.
Holding back Zui, she red daggers at Alta. "Is this your doing?"
Alta rubbed her chin, leaning forward to have a look at Zui''s dazed and distant gaze.
Looking behind her, she suddenly had an idea that sparked her curiosity.
"So...?" Sra questioned impatiently, seeing it almost impossible to stop Zui from moving without hurting her.
"Let her go, trust me," Alta assured with a nod, straightening her posture.
''Trust you?!'' Sra did a double take on her assurance, feeling she was being irrational in her interaction with anyone other than Hisha.
Speaking through gritted teeth, she was unable to hide her distasteful feeling about Alta''s behavior. "Some of us care about the next person, I don''t know if you understand that."
Alta let out a chuckle, "if you''re referring to those weak¨C"
Sra growled at the degrading means she used to call those who had lost their lives with nothing achieved or given the chance to leave like those after the incident.
Alta smiled and shook her head, "I meant those who couldn''t defend themselves are not worthy of dreaming of gaining the love and adoration of our lord."
Sra felt disgusted by how true her words were but also how her initial method was barbaric.
"Just stay away from us if you''d bring nothing but trouble," Sra warned and focused her attention on Zui.
cing her hand on Zui''s shoulder, she searched her friend''s eyes. "Zui snap out of it."
"The only way to get out of a situation is to tackle the problem, what you are doing is only hindering it." Alta deadpanned and folded her arms.
Reluctantly, Sra let go of Zui and waited for the results.
Staggering at a slow pace, Zui''s eyes glow as her ability kicks in, she stopped and pointed in the direction of another path, "I see blood."
Sra looked ahead, worried something had possessed Zui, given the fact that her senses were far superior in smell, yet she couldn''t perceive anything.
"You don''t need to follow anymore, I''m sorry for dragging you into this," Sra begged.
Alta gently ced her hand on Sra to calm her distressing thoughts. "Would you pull yourself together and see what she wants to convey?"
Creating a magical circle on both hands, Zui pped them onto the dusty grassy floor which caused a strong gust of wind to sweep across the path and reveal what was underneath.
Losing her bnce, her body went limp, and was about to drop to the floor when she was saved by Alta''s Sux outlining Zui.
Sra had almost opened her mouth to thank Alta but was stopped in her tracks when she heard Alta''s motive.
"You surely can''t die now, how else can I tick your me friend?" Alta snickered and slowly let go of her grip to soften the fall Zui could have undergone.
"What a bloody scene, right?" Alta conveyed with a smirk. "You might want to take your friend back to the citadel so she''s not a liability. I await your return."

Chapter 48 Tame And Contain
"What?!" Sra red at her, ing from you, it sounds a little suspicious."
Alta shrugged and wanted to make a move forward when she stopped to speak. "Do you know the difference between us?"
"..."
When she got no response from her, she shook her head in disappointment. "You can''t be trusted or relied on."
A crooked smile made its way to Alta''s lips at thement. "I can agree with that, and I could also dispute that just for this moment."
Shrugging her shoulders, she meant to state her reasons for such actions, "trusting a bit too soon or easily is the major cause of lots of downfalls. Yet I can make an exception if it means helping him with someone who would risk their lives for him and has his best interest at heart."
"Do you think you''re the only one who got the feeling of something not going too well?" Alta challenged with a smirk.
For a moment, Sra was left stunned and too shocked to speak and at that moment she looked down at Zui in her arms.
Zui had not wanted to go any further, and her strange behavior could also make it dangerous for her to continue with the journey.
"If I do take your advice to return her, how can I do that without being spotted?" Sra questions, skeptical about the solution.
Alta snapped her fingers, and in an instant, a portal warped behind Sra leading up to the hallway of Hisha''s bedroom.
"Does that ease the trouble?" She asks in hopes of proving a bit of her goodwill.
Sra stared at the portal for quite some seconds before snapping out of it. "This was how you had suddenly propped up in meretrix one at the time."
Not denying the fact that she had ambushed them at the time, she also reminded Sra of the fact that their time is limited in randomly helping.
Making up her mind, she stepped in and quietlyid her on the floor before stepping out¨Cback and into the forest.
"Our time is limited, it''s best to get going." Alta reminded as she pointed to the blood-marked pathway.
Nodding her head in agreement, she took the first step closer to the pathway. "Ready for a brief moment of adventure?"
*****
Deep into the forest,
Hisha had easily shed his way through the vines to get quickly to his destination. The blood trail is his only means of tracking down his assistant.
[Proceed with caution, host]
HTC worried for the safety of its host as it ced a sweat-dropped emoji at the end.
Stopping dead in his tracks, he could see at a distance Loid being held on the neck and raised above the ground by Kritz.
Gad had been abandoned, lying unconscious for quite some time all for the sick game of Kritz.
Hisha tilted his head to how differently Kritz acted with blood on half of his face, his grin revealed his canine and a desire to kill in them.
[Task: Pacify Kritz]
Hisha stared at the user interface, feeling something oddly strange if the task repeatedly disyed what he had thought to be something possible to waver.
''He had seen blood on numerous asions, but why does this look and feel different?'' Hisha questioned his system on the difference he might have missed.
[An external force had been and still is involved]
HTC warned as it grew suspicious of the surroundings.
"Kritz!" Hisha called out before he could snap Loid''s neck.
Drawn to the call, Kritz looked to his side and instantly dropped Loid.
Cough!
Cough!
"My lord!" Loid coughed out.
Kritz stood still almost as though batching some secret n.
Tilting his head, Hisha thanked Loid and an unconscious Gad for aiding in locating Kritz.
Loid nodded his head and stifled his emotions, and crawled towards Gad to check if he was still breathing.
When he noticed Gad''s chest heave, he pushed back and sighed in relief.
He used what was left of his Sux to outline Gad''s body after he was ordered to take him away from the vicinity.
"Look at me!" Hisha yelled in a thunderous voice, frustrated by the eerie silence once the guards had left.
Doing as told, Kritz locked eyes with Hisha.
His red eyes glowed with unrestrained blood lust for a more powerful opponent. His pupils marked into a thin vertical line with a selected gaze on his face.
[Warning: Blood lust]
Whoosh!
Feeling it was the right time to act, Kritz charged with propelling speed at Hisha.
''So, it all boils down to a duel, huh?'' Hisha shook his head.
Reacting just at the right moment, Hisha grabbed Kritz by the neck, mming him onto the floor.
"I hope you get to your senses before you''re brutally reminded of your past," Hisha warned Kritz who struggled to break free from his grasp.
Finally realizing why his system had given him such a task, he deduced it would be easy to overpower Kritz due to their differences in power scale.
There was only one way of aplishing his task¨Cconvince Kritz that he wasn''t the enemy or find out the external source and neutralize it.
"Kritz snap out of this! I don''t want to hurt you." Hisha reasoned.
[External force approaching]
Temporarily distracted when he secretly examined his surroundings, he threw Kritz on arge tree covered by his Sux to prevent any damage to its bark.
Kritz was sent flying as his back crashed in on the Sux, slowly being sucked and held in ce by Hisha.
Dusting his hands, he closed his eyes to focus more on the movements he might have missed while in a temporal engagement.
An unusual change in the wind''s direction made him open his eyes.
As soon as he had opened them, he had to pull himself together the moment he was faced with a hooded figure at close range, from the clothing, he could rightly allocate the feminine gender to the unknown person.
The distinctive red eyes focused on him brought back memories that had been long buried in the original host''s subconscious.
"Yoru!" Hisha growled with rage.

Chapter 49 With Great Power Comes A Penalty
Doing a backflip to create a bit of distance between them, Yoruughed hysterically, making good use of the shadows cast by the tall trees.
"I see you still remember me after all these years!" Yoru spat and circled him with a ring of fire that continued to burn.
Unlike Sra who was an embodiment of mes with a gold tone to it with the ability to regte the body and environmental heat temperature. Yoru on the other hand could create raging red mes outside of her body while regting the me on an object of choice.
For a brief second, Hisha showed no emotions and observed the mes, it felt so familiar that he could almost guess she was the one his replicating ability had mimicked.
[That dress is a little tempting, especially that string that barely has many purposes, don''t you think?]
Hisha rolled his eyes at the lust-filledment made by his system¨Cit was at times like this that he realized the true nature of his system far from its sarcastic tendencies or its knowledge of this world.
Hisha tilted his head and gave a wicked smile to her meager threats.
Before Yoru couldment on his knowledge about her name even though she was hooded, she felt herself lose her bnce.
Acting on instinct, Hisha used his telekic binding on her throat, raising her in the air.
The mes instantly vanished with Yoru in a struggle to get free.
"If you think this is a joke, you must be mistaken." Hisha snarled.
The two others who had their presence hidden in the bushes had almostpromised their position when they attempted toe to the aid of their leader.
"No... not... now..." Yoru muttered and shook her head as she struggled to set herself free.
Her words fell off as her disbelief at being caught so easily by Hisha.
"If you kill me, you... can... say goodbye... to your li... little Vandrik." She cackled amidst choking due to his grip only tightening.
''Little Vandrik? Could it be...'' Hisha narrowed his eyes at the specific call on Kritz''s race.
Her hood fell back revealing her long silky brown hair and bangs framing her face.
Her red eyes shone with burning hatred as she tried to get free from his hold.
[She''s bluffing]
HTC assured, sensing a fraction of reluctance in her voice.
Hisha couldn''t quite exin the budding hate he had developed even though they had just met.
[Memory recovery - 5%]
Hisha''s eyes widened as realization sunk in, from what he could see, the original host must have some brooding hatred for thisdy for their confrontation to be this heated in a few seconds upon sighting her just by her unique eyes.
''Why does she have a simr outlook to...'' he paused as he looked behind him and at Kritz who was still unconscious and stuck to the tree he had pushed him to.
Immediately calling upon her character status, he watched as the interface pulled up on her.
_____
[Name: Yoru Aku]
[Height: 170cm]
[Position: Vandrik Chieftess]
[Race: Vandrik]
_____
His eyes were glued on the race info and he repeated in his thoughts, ''race-Vandrik''
Unable to describe how he should feel about the situation, he red back at her.
Yoru let out a maniacugh at his re, "are you going to kill me?"
Her taunts were met with the grip tightening an inch causing her to gasp for breath.
''I couldn''t care less for someone who''s trying to foil my ns, especially if you''re the external source of what''s causing Kritz to go into a frenzy!'' Hisha brows were furrowed, irritated by her presence.
[Stop! You can''t, no matter how hard you try]
''What the hell is that supposed to mean?!'' Hisha hissed in reply but maintained his re on Yoru.
[With your great poweres a use bestowed by the celestials¨Cone which binds you.
They had taken a great fancy to your original host''s existence and unique ability several years ago. With his zeal to live and the willingness to bring rtive peace and unity between the once wartornnd of Kurg, you were bestowed upon the blessing of victory with rtive ease¨Cone no one has ever been able to achieve. But with a use]
''What use?!'' Hisha questioned impatiently, feeling his resolve to go through with killing her weakening.
[You can not personally kill females! The zeal had never been there, not until yourst encounter with her, this was a major reason a tournament was held¨Cso you could get the best females on your side to assist you on the one thing you would kill to achieve]
Hisha had to maintain hisposure with the shocking information rted to him by his system¨CYoru was the main reason he had held a tournament?!
It was still unclear as to what Yoru had done to his original host and vice versa to stir up the burning hatred going on between them.
Yoru could sense his hesitation as his grip weakened, causing her to whistle with distinctive notes.
Schwp!
Schwp!
Two other hooded figures stepped onto the burnt marks she had created earlier.
"Hmmm... Humm... Hmmm..." The three chanted in unison as a ck translucent barrier elevated, cutting the connection Hisha had with his telekic grip.
Before Yoru could fall to the ground, she was caught by one of her partners and kissed him on the lips as a favor and returned for assistance.
''This is not a good sign.'' Hisha thought in a panic, feeling as though they never really tried to confront him due to his insurmountable strength, but rather have him distracted, surrounded, and on the verge of sealing him.
''Could you exin what would happen if I had killed her?!'' Hisha raged at his system for not exining to him this little detail while he had been idle for some days as the information would have saved him a lot of clueless actions he had made.

Chapter 50 Help From When You Least Expect It
[Your immortality would be stripped]
''Isn''t that just great?!'' Hisha sarcasticallymented, feeling as though he had just lost a part of his identity.
Wasting no time sulking about his situation, he needed to utilize the slow progress of the barrier from totally trapping him.
[Ability: Geokic maniption]
A spiral wave of dirt and rocks surrounded Hisha as his rage increased, if he couldn''t leave the barrier, he was going to foil their ns on maintaining their hold on the barrier.
Punching onto the ground, the earth trembling could be felt by the three outside the barrier.
Immediately reacting just in time, they held their hands by the side to maintain their bnce while continuously chanting in their foreignnguage.
Their eyes were closed and their body outlined by their Sux. This was the only way in which they could speed up the process of sealing him.
Looking behind him momentarily, he wasn''t surprised to see his Sux that had held Kritz had also been deactivated, leaving Kritz toy on the ground unconscious.
A me of hope ignited at his spine which made him furrow his brows at what could have triggered such a strange feeling.
Whoosh!
Hisha''s eyes quickly spotted fast-moving wings sweeping across the air while the three were oblivious to their presence.
[Exp+3]
''Alta!'' Hisha beamed with unbridled joy.
[Exp+2]
His joy only doubled with the glint of Sra''s glow in her eyes from a tree branch above observing their situation before attacking.
[Isn''t that just cute? Your two lovebirds look like they have a n and teamed up to save you, lucky dickhead!]
''I don''t recall you getting ustomed to how I converse and using it against me, botbrain!'' Hisha retorted.
[I am a manifestation of your desires which not only guides you but is also the only thing that would put up with your oblivious state in this world, treat me better!]
HTC countered with a displeased emoji and loading ellipses.
Rolling his eyes to his entitled system, he exhaled and watched the barrier, already more than ten feet in height, about to converge after getting to a much higher height.
Deactivating his ability, he prepared to activate another once he had the opportunity to use it when he would be given leverage after Alta or Sra executed their ns.
Alta hovered above the trio looking down at them with disdain. She nodded to Alta confirming the threats to their lord and the cause of the feeling they had all felt earlier.
Sra focused her attention on thedy in the middle, her presence was like a ticking bomb she needed to remove.
Observing the little heat signature in thedy''s head, she scoffed at the emotion she read¨Ccontempt.
''Let''s see how well you can deal with the heat.'' Sra snickered as she made a clench of her fist and increased the body heat to a great degree.
Yoru groaned in pain and held her head, unintentionally staggering back and away from the outlined burnt mark.
Her partners discarded their station and tried to help their leader when she screamed at them to get back to their positions before Hisha would escape from the iplete barrier.
Sra on the other hand was stunned, unable to understand how this strangedy had sustained nothing but severe pain to the head.
Before the two could get back to the burnt marking, they felt a sh to their chests and two ck feathers lodged into their arms at light speed.
They were hit back and went crashing in on Yoru.
Sra bit down on her bottom lip to stifle augh at how slow they were in reacting.
Stepping in front of the slowly disintegrating barrier was Alta, her wings were curved in a bid to shoot out more of her de-like feathers if they got any closer.
She looked back momentarily and ced her hand on the barrier with a lovesick gaze in contrast to the overly protective and angered re she had given the trio.
[Exp+4]
Ding!
[Exp: 69]
[Level up!]
"My darling." Alta whispered and longed for his touch.
"Thank you, both of you!" Hisha mouthed and nodded in their direction and effectively warned them to be careful of the trio.
Alta''s devilish grin shed across her lips as she contemted what she had wanted to say.
"They have lost a fraction of their Sux to set this barrier, their loss." Alta cackled and nodded in Sra''s direction.
Yoru pushed off one of her partners that had been pushed on her, "get the hell away from me, he''s about to escape!"
Pulling out the feathers, they got to their feet as their wounds healed slowly.
Sra rolled her eyes at the scene below her, it was ame excuse for her healing ability that she almost felt disgusted by the sight.
"If it isn''t the subus!" Yoru spat in spite, raising her chin and pushing back her disheveled hair away from the side of her face.
"If it isn''t the Vandrik who couldn''t wait to get in another fight with me." Alta blew on her nails and had a twisted smirk.
''Alta also knows Yoru?'' Hisha did a double take on the familiar yet spiteful interaction between the two.
He needed just a minute before the barrier would fully disintegrate. Whispering to the hearing Alta, "kill her before she escapes!"
Alta grinned with a newfound zeal and dashed with great speed which left a cloud of dust as she charged through the two who had guarded Yoru against the impact but were deflected easily due to their drained Sux from setting the barrier.
She had just managed to grab a hold of the strings of Yoru''s dress which caused it to slip off her nipples and stop at her hips.
Hisha''s lips dropped open at the sight before him.

Chapter 51 Failed Attempt To Cuckold Him
''That is a whole new level of wrong!'' He furrowed his brows and shook his head, unable to get the sight before him out of his thoughts.
Yoru yelped at the assault and had her hair wildly flying around her. Some of her hair snaked over her breasts obscuring his vision from seeing Yoru''spletely naked torso.
''That goddamned hair!'' Hisha spat in disdain.
[Even if you feel some form of hatred towards her, that is some level of indescribable hurt, isn''t it?]
Yoru let out a peal of crazedughter as her perky E cup breast jiggled with every disturbing outburst.
Once she was done, she called out on Sra who had been hiding and going along with the n they had made.
Looking above her in the branches, she gave a mocking bow to Sra. "Surely you didn''t think I wouldn''t know that little prank wasn''t from you."
Sra looked down at Yoru with a demeaning gaze, not bothering to say a word since she had been able to guess who had caused her pain.
Jumping off the tree, Sra''s eyes still kept their glow as she tagged Yoru as a threat and prepared for her attack.
"We do not need to fight, aren''t you sick and tired of being treated like a lifeless property encased as a harem?" Yoru suggested with a beaming smile.
''What sort of crap is spewing from her lips?!'' Hisha raised a brow and folded his arms at her demeaning words against him.
[What difference in the sort of crap would it make?]
"..."
Hisha''s face darkened at the choice of words his system used in answering, temporarily wondering if HTC took his side very often.
In her weakened state, Yoru had hoped to buy herself some time and use the opportunity to instigate them against Hisha. If she could turn their hearts away from being loyal to him, she would be one step closer to finding out his weakness and end him for what the immortals had done to her people.
''Watch as your preciousdies leave you for something worth taking.''
Sra eased her muscles and looked as though she was considering the offer with a great level of thought.
"Once he''s gone you all would be free from his mark and get to leave a normal life without prejudice." Yoru continued with a smirk, putting back her armless dress on her bust with its strings.
Sra raised two fingersa€¡°index and middle finger in the air, actively gesturing to Alta on her true intentions.
Distorting the information, she exined to Yoru that it was her way of epting her proposal.
Yoru grinned unbeknownst to beingpletely fooled and manipted.
"It is rumored that it''s only his harem that could deal damage to him." Yoru looked over to Hisha.
''Is this true?'' Hisha quickly asked HTC for confirmation.
[Not entirely right. Only the strongest member of your harem can do a bit of damage to you, only when you share your prized possession could your immortality be threatened]
''Prized possession, what''s that?''
[Until you''ve regained 70% of the original host''s memory, that information is outside your jurisdiction]
HTC''s voice temporarily went cold and heavily monotonous.
''Ouch!''
The mystery behind what HTC had just rted was unsettling, but also enough boost for him to work towards that angle once they were all out of the forest.
Sra followed Yoru''s line of sight and temporarily had it on Hisha.
Confident all of this was a ruse, Hisha shrugged and eagerly waited for the 5 feet tall barrier to disintegrate faster, he could only me the trio for speeding up the process with the weird method of chanting and glowing outline.
Alta stood guard, putting up a show for the three who watched Sra fool them with no hint of backing down.
"You would dare go against our supreme overlord?!" Alta spat in disdain, ready to attack the four if they took another step forward.
''Hurry up with your stupid n!'' Alta pleaded with a distraught sigh.
''Stop being overdramatic!'' Sra countered as though they could hear each other''s thoughts.
"Join us, I have under my control those who could satisfy you in every way possible." Yoru had her hand outstretched towards Alta, hoping this condition would appeal to a subus.
[Is she trying to cuckold you? sphemy!]
Hisha''s frown only worsened at Yoru''s words, ''just wait till I''m out of here, you''ll see!''
"I''d rather consider their souls being run over by me than have thoseid things in me." Alta gave a bacsh with the flick of her hair taunting the two males on both sides of Yoru.
Sra could see bulging veins pop on the clench of the hooded males'' fists. ''This is going to be so easy!''
Charging at Alta to prove she was on the opposing team, she turned at thest minute and shot out a barrage of mes at the trio.
Using their capes as means to gather enough wind, they channel it with a great torrent to deflect and quench the mes.
Alta caught on to Sra before she could fall backward.
Seeing remnants of her deflected mes, Sra cut off her source which in turn dispelled the mes.
"You tricked us, you despicable mmable creature!" Yoru screamed in rage.
Finally calming himself, he let out a sigh and watched as the final part of the burnt markings disintegrate.
Activating his geokic ability, he scattered the ring-like markings into dust particles and pushed its dreadful remnants away from himself.
''Finally done with that crap!'' He hissed and clicked his tongue, raising his head with brimming fury on what he could do to Yoru to cut her connection to Kritz.

A/N
I am a bit disheartened that even with the number of views, votes, GTS, and gifts, I still get very little activity in thementing and reviewing section.
It would be a boost to my morale if you could just register your presence somehow either through paragraphments orments.
As a token of appreciation for this, I would dedicate the subsequent chapters to only the first 10 readers that are active for more than a week on different parts of my chapters.
Chapter 52 Glad To Have You Back!
Constantly reminding himself that he was only doing it for the points and nothing else.
[Do I sense care and worry for a friend?]
HTC teased Hisha with a wiggling brow emoji.
''I need the points and my butler back, that''s all.'' Hisha lied and pretended as though he hadn''t replied in any sense.
"Darling!" Alta squealed in delight at his presence behind her.
[Exp+3]
Yoru growled in suppressed rage at the unprecedented change of events, taking a step back as she reconsiders her options.
"Do you think I would sit by while you try to cuckold me?!" Hisha''s cold voice tore through the once silent environment.
A p of thunder could be heard as the sky darkened and the cloud gathered and so did shes of lightning travel through them with Hisha''s mood.
Bringing his hand down in a bid to break off her connection, lightning raged down in their midst.
Yoru had managed to pull her partners away from the st but was pushed farther away from Hisha''s location.
Her teeth clenched, ming herself for not envisioning there would be a thorn in her ns.
''They were not supposed to be here at this time!''
With their Sux depleted, Yoru could do nothing but retreat.
"If you think you''ve won, you must be delusional!" Yoru screamed while encasing herself and the two hooded partners in a crystal.
Alta growled and protracted her ws, "should I kill them?"
Evaluating the situation, he could feel that Yoru was hiding a trump card that could easily overpower Alta.
There was still the mystery of how usible it was that he would rescue Alta¨Cif it had any connection to Yoru, then it was best to continue with the tournament.
Sra had a rather calm demeanor while she observed what was going on.
Nor sparing another look in their way, she turned around and walked toward Kritz. Unable to touch him, she created a mmable dome to regte his body temperature.
"You can''t die on your lord now," Sra whispered, remembering all Kritz had done for Hisha and the harem.
Causing another lightning strike on the crystal, a shattering noise could be heard.
[External force nullified]
Hugging Hisha, Alta used her wings as a shield and easily deflected the shards of crystals.
''I could have done that easily.'' Hisha awkwardly stood looking down at a pleased Alta who had made use of the opportunity to her benefit.
Sra had burnt and shattered the rest which had flown in her direction.
"Alta, could you let go of me?" Hisha deadpanned, knowing fully well this subus could hold onto him for as long as she wanted.
Quickly pulling away, Alta pushed back a strand of hair behind her ear and her cheeks flushed.
Pulling her in for a kiss on her forehead, he pulled away and whispered a thank you.
[Exp+4]
Walking over to the shattered encasement, he frowned upon realizing it was nothing more than a ruse, set to fool him.
[They vanished!]
HTC informed and began analyzing the situation.
''I can see that.'' Hisha deadpanned, cross-popping veins making their way to his forehead.
Self loathe seething off him at the condition that had restricted him from destroying a pain to his side. The irony was uncanny¨Cthe one person he desired to kill couldn''t be done by him, nor could his harem''s current strength match even the trio''s weakened state.
He couldn''t understand why Yoru continuously shielded and guarded her subordinates. If it weren''t for her and his careful approach to dealing with them, he would have unintentionally killed her himself bringing upon the one thing he dreaded.
''Whoever and wherever you all are, this is a whole lot of bullshit!'' Hisha looked above, imagining some supreme beings watching over thend.
Pit!
Pat!
Hisha felt tiny raindrops slide down his cheeks, starting as a drizzle.
''Are they watching?'' He wondered, wiping his face and turning toward Kritz''s direction.
[You still need to find a way to pacify Kritz now that the external force had been nullified]
Squatting and looming over Kritz, Hisha had a bitter smile.
Sra took several steps back and beside Alta as they watched curiously at what Hisha nned on doing.
He ced his hand on Kritz''s forehead, instinctively mouthing the words, "be calm."
Ding!
[Pacification of Kritz achieved]
[4000 points gained]
Gasp!
Kritz jerked awake and sat upright in a daze.
He observed his surroundings and found it strange, holding the side of his head. "Where am I?"
"I think this is what they call ''forest''." Alta deadpanned, rolling her eyes and folding her arms.
Tilting his head to get a glimpse of who had answered, he pushed back in shock.
Pointing an using finger at them. "H-How... Did you two escape the citadel?"
Alta and Sra raised a brow to his question, but remained mute¨Cif Hisha couldn''t care less how they did it, they were not ountable to anyone.
Hisha chuckled at the interaction, relieved he could let out some of his built-up tension with someedic relief.
Offering his hand to Kritz, he noticed his assistant''s reluctance to go through with his simple gesture.
"Come on, take it." He offered with a smile.
Timidly taking the gesture, Kritz was pulled up and into a hug.
Patting Kritz back, Hisha whispered into his ear. "I''m d you''re back."
Theseforting words melted the once guarded emotions Kritz had put up.
Pulling away almost instantly, Hisha let out a cough, "we should get going, I wonder how those two are holding up."
"Which two?" Alta and Sra questioned in unison.
Kritz facepalmed at the thought of the answer, ''Did they run away?''
Walking towards the narrow path they had used to get into the deeper parts of the forest, Hisha paused and looked over his shoulder at them, "there''s no point standing, let''s get going. I have an idea of where they might be."

Chapter 53 Get Out Of My Room
"Lord Hisha." Loid beamed with joy upon seeing his lord, but all that was thrown under the carpet at the sight of Kritz and two of his harem members.
Being briefed about his actions while in a frenzy, Kritz looked down, guilt-stricken and rubbing the side of his arm.
Loid had been silent all the while as his eyes followed Kritz, hoping all traces of his dangerous tendencies were gone.
"Are you alright?" Gad coughed out and had a strained smile the moment he managed to open his eyes.
He was ced on the saddle of his horse and his face on the neck of the horse.
A white outline of Sux created by Loid held him in ce.
Loid''s mood elevated at the improvement. "You''re awake!"
Trying to raise his head to take a better look at Loid, he was forced down and a shake of Loid''s head to show he wasn''t going to let him strain himself in any way.
"Were you expecting me dead?" Gad tried to y off his situation.
"With broken ribs and a fractured skull, hmm what do you think?!" Loid retorted.
''You''re fortunate that my ability deals majorly with bones.''
He could recall using the max of his ability in repairing every fracture and broken bone before it reached a critical period.
Hisha walked up to his horse, "how are you, Twet?"
Neigh!
His horse swayed its tail and hit its hooves on the floor in excitement.
"Yes I know, you want to leave this forsaken ce," Hisha whispered and brushed its mane.
Using the stirrup to climb onto the saddle.
Speaking to Loid, he ordered him to keep watch of Had and sent them ahead so they could get some rest after what they had gone through.
With a nod, Loid led Gad''s horse forward with a light hit of his whip.
Clip!
Clop!
Watching the two go ahead, he looked over to Kritz who had climbed on his horse but then Sra and Alta stood and stared back at him.
"How did you two get here?" Hisha inquired, suddenly curious about how they had been able to track him.
"We flew," Alta spoke on their behalf, giggling.
The sight of the two getting along was a little unsettling, yet a part of him was d they weren''t at each other''s throats while outside the arena.
"Flew?" Hisha frowned as soon as heprehended what was said.
It was possible for Alta to easily fly around, but Sra?
Materializing into her race''s form of a bright yellow mmable 12 meters Avira with broad wings once spread.
''A bird, she turns into a Phoenix sorta animal.'' Hisha deadpanned as he stared at her beast form.
It all began to make sense why she had the ze ability.
[Very fitting, isn''t it, host?]
Ignoring the taunts by his system, he nodded in approval and told the both of them to wait for his arrival at the citadel''s gate.
Alta looked at her side and had a mischievous smirk. "Race you there!"
A gust of wind blew back Hisha''s hair when he saw the two take flight and dash with great speed in the said direction.
"Typical." Hisha chuckled and looked behind him and at Kritz.
"We have to get back before something is set on fire."
*****
In the hallway of the citadel,
Hisha held the broken arrow he had recovered from the forest, thinking about who had given out his location.
Stopping at a wooden door, he ced his palm on it and the lock opened. Having the arrow hovering above him.
Getting in, he was quick in grabbing the wrist of Pesa.
The glint of a knife shed before him and he had a mischievous smirk. "You would waste good cutleries on your petty assassination?"
Pulling out the knife from her hand, he threw it into the corner of the room and let her go.
"Get out of my room!" She screamed in rage at his presence.
Her hands covered up her cleavage, feeling self-conscious.
''I wasn''t even looking at you with perversion!'' Hisha deadpanned, displeased with how she viewed him.
[You are a lustful ruler, did you think this fact isn''t known?]
''Shut it!'' Hisha hissed, suddenly disgusted by the title his original host had left behind.
Since his stay in the citadel, he had only had sex with Alta because it was a method he had gotten to keep a hold on and satisfy her, venting out a bit of his sexual frustration was also a driving force since she had no problem with that and was confirmed by his system for a bond.
The rest, he would thread carefully on how he would engage since some would be let off during the tournament and no bond had been established.
"I had put you in here to personally keep an eye on you." Hisha reminded, his eyes glowed, ready to use his telekic binding on her.
Raising her and pushing her onto her bed, he climbed over her. His hand grabbed her throat. "Why do you try to make me seem bad? You were the one who had made a futile approach to killing me."
Pesa red at him and struggled with his hold on her. "You''re a monster!"
''s, it has been said.'' Hisha had a twisted smile.
He had dubious thoughts crossing his mind on what he could have done to punish her. Reluctantly, he let go of her throat and got off her.
Deactivating his ability, he let out a sigh and his voice turned cold, "I don''t need your confirmation to know."
"You do have a motive for joining my harem and if it means bing the monster you so want me to be, I would dly do so." Hisha finalized and turned around, making his way to the door.
Pesa stared at his back and felt a lump in her throat. While he was over her, she had expected him to forcefully have his way on her, but him pulling away was something strange after what she had done and said to him.
''Why?'' She gritted her teeth, unwilling toe to terms with his strange actions.
"Why did youe in here?!" She blurted out in curiosity.

Chapter 54 Win Your Way Into Her Heart
''I own it here.'' Hisha had wanted to blurt out but refrained from doing so.
"I needed to get your answer to a particr question," Hisha replied.
Pesa narrowed her eyes and prepared herself mentally for what he had to ask, since her ability was extracted, there was little to any way she could free herself from where she was kept like afortable prisoner.
"Who put you up to this?"
Deep down, there was a brooding feeling that he already had an idea of who could have been the culprit, all he needed was an affirmation.
''I can''t and wouldn''t since I don''t trust you.'' Pesa red at him.
Pushing back his hair, he let out a sigh in frustration as HTC brought up a suggestion in front of him.
[Manipte her, use her to get the information you need]
''Do you think that would work for a thick skin like her?'' Hisha raised a brow.
[Affirmative, use your charm to win your way into her heart, then you''d find it easy to get what you seek]
Locking eyes with Pesa, his attitude greatly changed as he dismissed the initial curiosity about her knowledge, instead, he inched closer to where she sat on the bed.
Weary of his actions, she pushed back. "Lord Hisha?"
Her breath hitched when she was trapped yet again with her back against the headboard. This time there was something strange about the interaction that had her confused and uncertain.
Hisha had his eyes glued to her supple pink lips and he instinctively bit on his bottom lip.
The only sound that could be heard was their puff of breath, a few inches away from each other''s faces.
"I don''t care why you hate me so much, but I want you to know I do care about your well-being..."
Pesa raised her head slightly at his words, her eyes wide with shock seeing his attitude a little bit out of character from what she had been made to believe.
"You would overlook my actions?!" Pesa''s lips quivered at the thought of getting off the hook.
Hisha''s eyes switched from her eyes and back to her lips. "If you do have a good record with me, I would reduce the duel limit and personally let you off."
Pesa''s blue eyes beamed with rekindled joy, this was a hope she didn''t ever think she could gain again after the verdict he had given her.
Nodding her head frantically at his offer, she could already feel free and not be trapped by any mark.
Hisha could feel her joy resonating and couldn''t help but smile back. Even though this would mean he would let her go, in the end, the information at her disposal was indispensable.
Getting off the bed, Hisha looked over at the broken arrow still hovering above him.
Pesa''s eyes followed his line of sight and her thoughts shed to what could have possibly happened.
"Were you ambushed?" She questioned with a cold tone.
Her willingness to spark up a conversation caught his attention greatly and he was more than willing to give her an answer to gauge her reaction.
"Yes, I was, while trying out hunting after such a long while."
Letting out augh at the thought, he turned to her to see her head low and her eyes searching the floor as though looking for something.
"In the end, your bow was broken..." She muttered enough to the hearing of Hisha.
"I broke it so it could serve a much better purpose at the time." He cut in, deactivating the hold he had on the arrow and catching it in his palm.
This came as a surprise to Pesa as she stared at his prized arrows which had lost their rare silver head.
"You aren''t concerned about the value of what you have lost?" Pesa asked, perplexed by yet another misconception she had while in her little town.
? Hisha''s lips drew into a thin line as he remembered whatever he would say would harm how he''s viewed.
''HTC, how precious is the silver head?'' Hisha quickly consulted.
Pacing a bit with the broken arrow in his hand, he used the mannerism to buy a bit of time while he got the needed information from HTC.
[It''s worth 50,000 silver coins]
Hiding his shock, he coughed out and proceeded to ask how the original host valued riches.
[Anyone who takes what is his, dies]
''Oh? So I''m not only protective of my harem, but also about my riches, got that.'' Hisha nodded his head and finally had an answer to the question directed at him.
"It was used to save a friend, I hold no feelings for things that could perish," Hisha replied, eagerly expecting her reaction.
Pesa stared at him for a while, deep in thought and internally conflicted on how she felt about his decision.
"That was quite noble of you, my lord." Pesa finally responded meekly, shing a smile.
For the first time in ages, Hisha caught on to her mesmerizing smile and was taken by surprise.
Unintentionally blurting out, "you look quite beautiful when you smile."
Thisment didn''t go unnoticed by Pesa as her cheeks flushed and avoided eye contact with Hisha.
Taking this as his cue to get closer, he took her hand in his. "How were your parents like?"
Pesa stared at him in shock, after her parents had died, she had so badly wanted to exact her revenge on the person who had caused their death¨Cming it all on him selecting her for the position she never wanted.
''Why does he act as though he never knew of this?'' She wondered, in denial about his stance on whole selection.

Chapter 55 Something In The Bushes
"I-I never thought you would be interested in that." She turned her attention to the floor the moment she could see her eyes blur with tears brimming.
''Was I manipted into thinking he was the cause?'' She furrowed her brows in concern for her dilemma.
"I had no idea of such cruel treatmentshed out on those who disagreed if I had knowna€¡°"
Pesa nodded her head and ced her index finger on his lips, stopping him from exining. If he went further, so would her guilt, and she didn''t want to aggravate it any further.
Snff!
She sniffled multiple times as the scene repeatedly yed in her thoughts.
''Mother, father!'' She mouthed and felt the crushing weight lodge at her chest. She had thought she would be strong and face the reality of things, but at the moment, she med herself for thinking he had ordered their deaths.
Pulling her closer to him, he made sure she cried out all the pain that she had kept hidden in her heart.
"Let it all out." He patted her back, hoping that was enough for her to vent out.
Slowly pulling away, she exhaled and muttered a thank you.
He had wanted to get up when he was pulled into a liplock.
''What the hell?!'' Hisha''s eyes widened in shock by her spontaneous action.
When she let go of him, she blushed and refused to look at him. "I would try to act more like a harem while I''m given a chance to reduce my duel limit."
Hisha nodded and got to his feet, satisfied with the progress he had made.
Offering her his broken arrow as a souvenir out of the three he had in his possession for investigation.
With a smile, she took it and examined it carefully, "I shouldn''t be with this."
She ced it back into his palm.
Her little gesture had confirmed she had no hand in the attack that had been done on him, but it also seemed to him she knew something that was about it.
cing it at her bedside, he walked out before she could process what he had done.
*****
[That went fairly well]
HTCmented seeing how their interaction was much smoother than the tension that usually permeated the surroundings.
''It wasn''t bad if I do say so myself.'' Hisha smiled and had his hands on his back.
[What would you like to do?]
''It''s funny you should ask that.'' Hisha replied with a smirk.
Spotting the door that leads to his room, he held his smirk as a wicked grin graced his thoughts.
''It''s about time I use a few of my points to put to my personal use.'' Hisha affirmed.
Although Hisha had not mentioned what he had nned, HTC could already tell it would be a sick n by its host.
Opening his door and closing it behind him, he called on his status.
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1003]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 600/1000]
[Meretrix: 1]
[Points: 11100]
[Exp: 8]
[Total number of your harem: 6251]
With his eyes set on the points he had umted, he was more than overjoyed that he would carry out his experimental decision.
''HTC, I am almost as sure as I can be that there must be something in the inventory that could change my appearance, even if it''s just for a day.''
HTC processed his request through the numerous options right in front of Hisha.
Ding!
[Disguise mask avable]
[The user who puts on the mask would automatically customize their looks ording to those familiar to others watching or manually selected by the user]
[Cost of purchase: 3000 points]
[Time limit: 6 hours before it wears off]
Hisha rubbed his chin in thought to the tempting offer, finally going through with it, he epted the item.
Ding!
[Disguise mask purchased]
[umted points: 8100]
Materializing in front of him was a vian half face mask with the right eye hole in a slit which made it look as though nothing could be seen on the other side.
''Are you kidding me? What the hell is this?'' He questioned and gawked at the ck mask that had dropped on his palm.
[Your mask]
HTC deadpanned with an uninterested emoji.
Hisha''s lips drew into a thin line, ''here goes nothing.''
cing the mask on his face, the open half was covered up by the branched part of the right.
He felt a surge of Sux course through him and was pleasantly thrilled to know that he could still see from the slit hole.
Looking at his palms as a confirmation of the body change, he was disappointed to see his hand and frowned.
All he could see in front of him was the holographic timer shing in his face with its signature countdown.
[05:58:09]
''Nothing happened.'' Hemented in disappointment, clenching his fist and wallowing in regret for his points lost.
[Who do you think is the most familiar face or body you could think of?]
Hisha thought for a moment before catching on to what was implied.
Internally facepalming at how stupid he could be not to realize the mask only takes effect once someone sees him.
''Fair point.'' Hisha shrugged and made his way towards the window.
cing his hand on the sill, he cast a gaze down at the long distance from where he was and to the ground.
Spotting vines creeping from the walls, he made use of it to slide down the window with rtive ease but lost his grip when he was about to get to the floor, falling into the nearby bushes that cushioned hisnding.
''Ow! Ow!'' Hisha groaned from the tiny branches that poked beneath his body, before rolling away from the bush.
[How could you have made a slip?!]
HTC red at the thought of them being caught by anyone who could have been listening or being on guard.
"Did you hear something?" A guard questioned hispanion who had also heard the strange sound somewhere around them.
Getting out their spears, they approached the very bush that Hisha hadnded on and jointly created a barrier that temporarily trap anything inside it.
Chapter 56 Explore Straton
''Time to find out if this works!'' Hisha snickered and pretended he had been caught in the trap.
Making a sh at the bush, it was thrown out of the way and revealed a disguised Hisha behind.
"Gad?!" The guards questioned in unison, concerned about his sudden behavior and appearance.
''Gad? That''s who they''re familiar with?'' Hisha tilted his head as he got to his feet, a little confused but happy that the mask did work.
[A sess as expected]
HTC took pride in its ability.
Hisha blinked several times, exhaling as he noticed he lost a huge amount of his Sux while the guards watched him.
[Your Sux has been suppressed to fit the current disguise and that would also apply to your abilities being stripped while you''re being watched]
''So I''m pretty weak now?'' Hisha questioned how far the disguise was programmed to go on.
[05:40:34]
[As long as you are still in their presence]
''Makes sense.'' Hisha internally facepalmed at how he had not thought in that obvious line.
Looking to the guard on the right, he had his ck hair styled short and messy. Braiding a bit on his right side, his pink eyes contrasted with his dark skin which wasplemented by the white jacket outline, gold tips, and a ck round neck shirt with mesh armor underneath.
''Why is he wearing a garb different from Loid, Gad, and the one to my left?'' Hisha questioned, dusting his body so he could maintain his cover.
[Ferad is the chief guard and is specially ced to guard your window¨Cthe one you so happened to jump out of and currently look like an intruder!]
"What are you doing here, Gad?" The guard to the left narrowed his eyes at a disguised Hisha.
"I had thought I could get away from Loid, for just a minute," Hisha responded, using his knowledge about the two''s discussion to base his excuse.
Ferad smiled and pulled on his partner''s neck, "there is no reason to be so harsh on him, Ran!"
''Ron, Ferad; Noted." Hisha made a mental note as they had made it easier for him to cover his tracks more effectively.
"But..."
Ferad shook his head, and cast a look at a disguised Hisha. "We all know that Loid could be a pain in the ass."
Ron stifled augh and nodded in agreement.
Giving a light bow and putting up his act, he appealed to be let go and not mention their interaction with anyone due to the embarrassment that might result if got out.
[Aren''t you pushing it, just a little more than necessary?!]
Hisha rolled his eyes in hopes of getting out merely by tricking them.
d they had fallen for it, Feran stepped aside. "It''s best if you stay at your post and not snoop around."
Thanking them, he awkwardly walked by his side, not until he was patted on the back by Feran as soon as he passed.
Walking at a quick pace and rather stiffly, he was d to see a sharp turn on his left and took the cue to hide at the other side.
His heart pounded at almost being caught and his ns going up in ashes.
[That was a close one]
Hisha nodded his head as he tried to calm his racing heart. ''It''s best if I''m much more careful.''
[When have you ever failed in that criteria?]
HTC''s sarcasticment couldn''t go unnoticed by Hisha.
''Mock me all you want, right now I need a faster method of escaping the citadel.''
Mapping out his surroundings, he had locked eyes on the wall with the drawbridge holstered on. ''Bingo!''
Sprinting towards the wall, he skipped several stones that hadid and sprouted from the floor.
Using thest stone to propel himself onto one of the rocks to grab a hold on, he caught sight of some of the guards patrolling and climbed upwards and far into their blind spot.
Thinking they would never envisage anyone escaping in such a fashion, they wouldn''t be suspicious of his presence a few meters above them.
He carefully pulled himself and grabbed onto another with his legs pushing him upwards to make a better grab on the little and huge rocks used to form the walls.
Cl-k!
Hisha hissed at the slip that had been made, he couldn''t understand why he had been making so many slips while wearing the mask.
For a while, he had considered it a personal attack by his system for changing into a different face while still in use.
k!
k!
Rrr!
The rubble rolled and stopped in front of the guard below him.
''Disguise or not, there is no exining what I''m doing at such a height and location!'' He had his brows furrowed in self-denial.
This was a worse time than he had nned on escaping over the walls. Caught in mid-exit, he froze for a while, dreading losing his current strength and form if he locked eyes with the guards.
"An intruder!" The loud alert from the guard rang out for the others to get word of Hisha''s escape.
Using what little strength he had, Hisha quickly pulled through and over the wall.
Landing on his feet, he looked ahead and could see the forest path that he had used the previous day with the rest.
It finally urred to him that he had paid no heed to the thrivingnd of Straton several miles ahead.
''It''s about time I mingled with others outside rather than being cooked up in a fancy cage going by my citadel and interacting with a few of my harem.''
[Warning? Kritz approaching!]
Hisha did a double take on the message, feeling as though his day just continued going for the worst.
If Kritz could catch up to him, his cover could be blown.
''Why is he on my tail?'' Hisha internally facepalmed and pulled on his hair in frustration.

Chapter 57 Intimacy At Its Peak
In Straton,
''By any chance, does this mask bring bad luck?'' Hisha questioned, avoiding eye contact with those who went by their businesses.
Keeping a low profile was paramount to his need to stay out of trouble and secretly investigate what had happened to him while he went hunting.
[Your natural charisma and charm are gone once you take up the form of someone familiar]
Hisha pulled over his hood and had a ck mouth mask over his as he walked through the bustlingnd; it was the central part of Kurg where all beastmen and humans interacted.
''In other words, I am as good as a clutz when my disguise is triggered on.''
[05:26:34]
Grrrr!
Hisha grimaced and held his growling stomach.
Dipping his hand into his pocket, he pulled out three gold coins.
Inhaling the aroma that permeated his nostrils, his eyes searched for the originator.
Once his eyes had locked on a rustic, cheerful, and warm-looking tavern. Hardwood nks and beams make up most of the building''s outer structure.
Instinctively, he made his way towards it, in hopes of getting a taste of the food and drinks of the local delicacies.
''It''s about time I let loose a bit and forget the title that burdens me.''
Just taking a step, he heard a ringing in his head.
[Be careful, you are being tracked]
''There''s no way they can find out it''s me.'' Hisha blew HTC''s concern off.
The mask should perform just like it would and bring up a face that they are familiar with if he ever gets cornered.
[The one person who can see through your disguise is among them]
HTC hinted at the presence of Kritz searching for his trail after escaping the citadel.
''Why doesn''t he take a break after what he had gone through yesterday?!'' Hisha thought with a pinch of regret about how adamant Kritz was in enforcing the rules.
Carefully avoiding colliding with anyone, he slipped through the narrow space he could find while making his way to a tavern¨Cthe only ce out in the open and freedom he so richly needed.
At the small, curtained windows, he observed he could hear sounds of dancing, singing, and moaning from within can be felt from where he stood outside the door.
Pushing in through the thick, wooden door, a little bell announced his presence but even that was doused by the entertainment everyone was so intoxicated with.
He was weed byughing voices and excitement and the musky odor of sexing from the locked doors of the lodging area.
He looked around and was pleased to see the inside as it is on the outside. Tree logs support the upper floor and the rows of small lights attached to them. The walls are overflowing with signatures and written messages, undoubtedly from happy customers.
He spotted a message written on the wall¨CI would love to get another intimate massage.
Hisha cringed at the message and felt slightly off by the audacity of the customer to put it up in big, bold letters for all to see.
[You and I both know what that is]
Ignoring his system, he watched as some of the heavily drunk guys were led into respective rooms by beautifuldies.
Above the rooms was a signboard that read¨CIntimacy at its peak.
m!
Hisha took a step back at how quick it was to hear the sounds of moaning and groaninging from one of the doors he had his focus on.
[You picked the right ce, host!]
Rubbing his chin in thought, he nodded in agreement and turned his attention to the bartender.
The bartender, buried in orders, still manages to wee Hisha with a short wave.
The tavern itself is packed. Passing traders seem to be the primary clientele here, which looked to be a good sign.
Several long tables are upied by, what must be separate groups who have bonded over great food and conversation. The other, smaller tables are also upied by people who seem to be strangers to each other, all sitting here because there are no other seats.
Though they all enjoy each other''spany. Even most of the stools at the bar are upied, though nobody seems to mind morepany.
Hisha''s eyes widened when he realized he had heard rumors about this tavern, supposedly famous for its ''great services''.
Though judging by the number of sultry waitresses in this tavern and the amount of the men trying to subtly eye them, he could tell it is their good looks and charm.
After managing to find a seat, Hisha pulled out a chair and pped a gold coin on the table, pushing it towards the bartender.
The bartender''s eyes bulged and were quick to snatch the coin before the others at the table could get a whiff of the transaction.
He looked stunned and shocked after secretly investigating its authenticity.
"What would you like for a drink, kind sir?" He grinned like a Cheshire cat seeking to please this heavily masked stranger.
"Would you like some of our delicacies?" He offered once more, beckoning three of his waitresses over to the table.
Unexpectedly, he felt something soft push in on the back of his head and hands wrapped around him.
"Esteemed customer, what would you like to get?" Her sultry voice graced his ears.
The bartender rubbed his hands together with a grin. Calling on his assistant to take over where he had left off, he pulled away his white gloves.
Hisha on the other hand had remained mute the whole time, eagerly expecting what could be offered to him after paying a huge sum of money that was worth more than half an annual worth of sales in the tavern.
"What can this tavern offer?" Hisha responded cooly.

Chapter 58 Ladies In French Maid Outfits
Nodding toward the waitresses, the bartender had a smug look on his face.
The waitress behind him whispered into his ears, "Would you like a taste of me?"
''How bold, nice.'' Hisha had a wicked grin masked by a shadow cast over him from his hood.
[Say yes!]
Hisha had to stifle augh at how excited his system was for him to getid.
Raising a brow to the offer, he shook his head, "I can guarantee you can''t keep up."
The waitress behind him took his words as a challenge and wanted to touch him to gauge his reaction afterward.
Grabbing her by the wrist, Hisha''s green eyes glinted with a warning. As much as he would have given in to the offer, he had gotten into the tavern for a good drink and a nice meal to relieve his hunger.
His stomach still growls at theck of food. ''There is no way I would engage if I don''t have my stomach stuffed before I''m spotted.''
Fluctuating loading ellipses from HTC processing what he had said could be seen in front of him.
"Is this how you would treat your customers without knowing their needs before heading to the wants?"
The bartender shook his head and sweat dropped by how demeaning the aura of this stranger was.
"By chance are you from a wealthy family?" He questioned curiously.
Hisha looked to his side to get a first-time view of the two waitresses to his right, who dressed differently from their counterparts.
They were both dressed in a ck dress with white trim, with a full skirt above knee length. A white half-apron ruffle with a ruffled headpiece.
His eyes trailed to their ck high-heeled knee crisscross sandals.
''Is this like some century-old maid fetish?'' He rubbed his chin at his sudden interest in seeing Pesa dressed in that.
The waitress he had held her hand was perplexed by how strong this customer was even though it looked as though he hade to just eat and drink.
''Let go of my hand!'' She tried to coolly make him let go by rubbing his shoulder.
"I was wrong to have thought you needed that first, would there be any dish you would wish to get?" The maid pleaded, shing him a full view of her underwear.
Hisha let go of her wrist in a moment of shock but was quick topose himself from having a nosebleed when he took a nce at the white panty on which was written the menu and the prices attached.
''Really? The best way to catfish customers huh?'' Hisha had a smirk at the smart tactics.
"What''s the little arrow?" He pointed at the red arrow that was knotted in the form of a bow but had its pointer directed towards her crotch and tempting her to pull down.
The bartender''s smirk only increased as he nodded as a form of approval to the waitresses.
The same waitress that had her panty on full disy for Hisha to stare at the menu in a ruse to keep him hooked, pulled down her panty to reveal her clean shaved cunt.
''Woah!'' Hisha coughed out from the shock he had gotten once more. They were out in the open with the eyes of others probably watching, yet she had casually done that.
[Do you think you can resist your lustful tendencies?]
HTC snickered in its host''s thoughts and was actively urging him to look back at the message written there.
Reluctantly, Hisha stared at her bare crotch and was caught unawares with two dishes on the most expensive menu on the list.
"Is there any that would be to your liking?"
Gulp!
Hisha couldn''t tear his gaze away from her crotch anymore and could feel his erection growing slowly.
It all started to make sense how most males he had seen had opted to go to the lodge and immediately get straight to business.
They had been enticed and intoxicated to engage.
The highest on the menu was a ss of an unknown drink that was identified by HTC as an intoxicating factor.
The singing and dancing gradually increased with how wild they were going.
Bang!
[Kritz location confirmed]
Hisha stiffened and got to his feet in a rush, pulling two of the waitresses as a cover, he opted to get them to use them as a shield and cover his tracks.
''There''s no fucking way he''d foil my ns on doing this alone.''
[04:59:45]
The giggling from thedies at being picked had them ecstatic and had their hands all over Hisha.
"I need my dishes and your best cocktail in 5 minutes." He ced his order to the bartender before allowing thedies to lead him to a vacant and luxurious room at the far corner of the tavern.
Before slipping into the room, he had picked on Kritz''s eyes frantically searching the crowd for anyone who had the description given by the guards who had alerted him.
Whistling while cleaning a cup, the bartender made every preparation for his esteemed guest with rejuvenated joy.
m!
The bartender got a jumpscare when a rare silver insignia that could only be found in the citadel caught his attention.
Looking at the insignia, he had almost choked and dropped the ss cup in his grip as he picked up the insignia with trembling hands.
It was a rare urrence for anyone from the citadel with such high status to be venturing into the lowly parts of Straton.
Forcing his head down in respect, he couldn''t meet Kritz''s eyes.
"Don''t act so low, I''m not here to cause any trouble." Kritz''s eyes scanned the tavern in hopes of getting a lead.
Asking the name of the bartender, Kritz needed to establish a form of conversation if he was to get information on who had gone into his tavern since he had lost the trail of the one he had been in pursuit of the mysterious intruder.
"I''m Bart," he answered, still a bit worried by the presence of someone of his caliber.
"Bart," Kritz repeated to register the name in his thoughts. "I need yourpliance with an important question."

Chapter 59 Do Not Go Any Further
Hisha had his back against the door as he let out a sigh of relief.
''That was close, I was almost cornered by Kritz, why doesn''t he let this go?!''
[If it was an intruder that had broken into your citadel, would you let that go?]
Hisha''s lips drew into a thin line at the precise counter by HTC. It wasn''t surprising that he only thinks this way because he was the one on his heels and trying his best to not get caught while keeping a low profile.
"Mister..."
The first waitress had her hand massage his shoulder and he was forced to look behind him to confirm what she nned on doing.
''Fuck!'' He cursed in his thoughts when it almost looked as though they had been preparing for a situation like this.
With the three undressed, they had their hands grope their breasts and had cunning gazes directed at him.
He looked to thest one who had her red hair in a high ponytail. She looked like the timidest out of the three and unsure of the reason she had joined them or the establishment.
''Strange...''
[What do you think they are interested in, currently?]
Hisha could tell the steady touches of sarcasm HTC was dishing out to him.
''Ha ha ha, very funny!''
When two of the waitresses took a step closer, Hisha backed up and had his hand held out. "Even though I had brought you in, doesn''t mean I''m interested in any of you."
The redhead had her mood elevated at his words with a little smile spreading across her lips.
[Host, you would skip such an experience?]
''As expected of a desire system!'' Hisha clicked his tongue and shook his head.
The two waitresses looked disappointed and unmoving.
"How about just a squeeze of this?" She gave a squeeze of herrge mounds, throwing a wink his way, "then you can decide if you want to back down."
''Gross, you''ve been tainted by other so-called customers! I''m not sticking my cock in there!'' Hisha grimaced and cringed at her request.
As much as he would have gone with his urges, he wasn''t going to do so with sullied women, that was as though he was eating on the leftovers of what the other men had to their fills.
If it had been that he was the one who had the first taste just for the satisfactory aspect, only then could he ept their offer.
There was no way he was going to make any more women a part of his harem, they had risked their lives for the tournament.
The fact that they weren''t chosen could only mean they weren''t worthy, nor did it look like they possessed Sux.
"I apologize for misleading you all and bringing you here, but I don''t have sex with those who are already... wild." He hesitated before mentioning thest word.
The twodies were shocked at first at the preferences of this customer, but it all soon dropped and was reced with a wicked grin.
The unsettling grin from the two left Hisha confused and curious. This was soon answered when their gaze fell on the redhead.
She watched the two with a nervous smile. She had repeatedly rejected so many customers because of the high price she would ce on herself in hopes of evading their advances.
The thought of having sex with a stranger was repulsive and demeaning to her.
"Sei here is very picky and has never agreed to anyone which has caused her worth to skyrocket." The brte waitress that was the boldest out of the three exined.
"It turns out, you''re more than qualified." The blonde chuckled at the unfortunate situation for one of their counterparts.
Hisha had his gaze set on her, his interest suddenly piqued.
"If you don''t mind, we would need just one little thing from you." The brte said with a smirk.
*****
At the counter,
Bart''s eyes bulged on the question he had been asked to respond to. The description had matched the same person who had taken his waitresses into the lodge.
''A fugitive? How true can that be if someone breaks in and evades anyone from the citadel?'' Bart wondered while giving it a bit of thought.
If he did speak based on his hunch, he could lose the huge amount of money he had acquired¨Cno matter the oue.
Shaking his head, he denied seeing anyone who had such a description and hoped Kritz would stay for a drink to calm his thoughts.
Kritz tly declined the offer and sat on the stool cing his elbows on the table, leaning back to be morefortable as he focused his attention on the crowd, as he watched the others converse so easily, the loud music and dance had him subconsciously nodding his head to the rhythm.
Bart prayed¨Choped that his actions wouldn''t bring about trouble or scare away his customer.
Coming out of the lodge in which Bart had seen his three esteemed waitresses go in with the special customer, he wondered why two hade out.
"Cara, where is Sie?" Bart questioned in a whisper after beckoning them over.
Cara looked at her blonde counterpart and had a wicked grin present once more. "She''s finally met her match."
Kritz raised a brow as he watched their interaction. It was nearly tempting to ask what customer they were talking about but refrained from asking to save himself from the weird stares for butting in.
''How the heck could that brat just disappear into thin air?'' He narrowed his eyes and had suspicious eyes at the door from which the two waitresses hade out.
Even though it had happened so fast that he couldn''t register what was going on, he could clearly remember a customer had gotten up with the three waitresses the moment he had gotten in.
His re only worsened when he could spot nervous lettering by Bart.
''How did I not realize this?!'' Kritz gritted his teeth and got to his feet.
He had just made his way towards the lodge when the bartender called on his attention.
"Where do you think you''re going, Sir?"

Chapter 60 Found Out
Kritz''s grin widened as his suspicions were nearly proved true¨Cthere was something he was hiding.
Looking over his shoulder, "is there a problem in wanting to have fun?"
Bart''s brow twitched at the silly excuse that was used. "The rooms are upied, how about joining the others in a bit of fun?"
He maintained a calm posture as he gestured towards the rest who were drowned in self-entertainment.
Kritz narrowed his eyes and grinned mischievously, determined to get to the bottom of the issue.
Shaking his head, Kritz was adamant about getting to that specified door and his eyes began to glow with the passing second.
Bart''s brown eyes glowed, ready to give as much time to help the stranger out of his predicament¨Cif he could assist him with his escape, there might be a hefty price he could get when he returns.
"You would dare to foil my investigation?!" Kritz sneered, adamant in going further.
Channeling his Sux into the bottle of drink in his hand, he manipted the liquid and made a whip that wrapped around Kritz''s neck.
"This is my tavern, unless you have a logical reason for doing this, I suggest you back down and get out!" Bart snarled in rage, disgusted by the method used by those in the citadel.
Kritz bent and looked at the wrapped-up liquid contraption, "you possess this ability, huh?"
"You''re a merfolk I see." He snickered.
In contrast to the usual long hair and fair skin, Bart had jaggy brown hair and stubble on his chin, he could finally understand why he had an unusually high-neck shirt underneath his vest.
''He was covering the scale pattern, huh?'' Kritz chuckled in disbelief.
"I have cut ties with my people, there is nothing that connects me with them except my ability!" Bart snapped, suddenly triggered by Kritz''s reaction.
The partying and music hade to a standstill as everyone looked shocked at the two.
When they coulde to terms with what was going on, they all scurried off out of the tavern in groups.
There were a few who had to be dragged due to how wasted they were.
The sudden decline in his customers only made Bart angrier than he already was about the loss.
Cara called out to her boss, pleading to let Kritz go due to the status he possessed and his calm demeanor.
"Mr. Bart, please let this slide, we could use the c¨C"
Quickly shutting her up before she could blow their cover, Bart created a bubble that engulfed her and muffled her protest.
If she were to speak on the coin they had gotten from the stranger, it would onlyplicate the issue only further.
Pulling on the whip and making it grip tightly to Kritz''s neck, "if you leave, I would pretend none of this ever happens and wouldn''t demandpensation for the loss I incurred today."
Kritz burst out in a peal of manicughter.
Theugh that continued for a few more seconds sounded disturbing to Bart and he had unintentionally begun doubting his capability to contain the situation.
When Kritz was doneughing, his mood instantly went cold and his face grim. "Who told you, you would live to see thepensation except I let you off the hook?"
With those words, Kritz grabbed a hold of the whip on his neck while channeling his Sux into his palms, taking three steps forward, contradicting the pull on his neck.
Snap!
Bart was left to fly backward and into the shelf with lots of bottles he used in mixing his cocktails.
Crash!
Blink!
nk!
An array of bottles dropped to the floor but all missed their target with Bart''s subconscious ability setting in and making use of the liquid as a shield from the broken shards of ss.
Jumping onto the table, Kritz reached out and picked Bart up by the back of his cor. "In case you might have not noticed, we never tolerate those who help out the enemy!"
''Who are you?!'' Bart''s eyes widened in horror at the person holding him above the ground.
"It''s a shame, you did have a wonderful business ce." Kritz clicked his tongue and shook his head in disappointment.
With how Kritz spoke about him in the past tense, Bart cowered in fear and shivered at the threat, epting his unfortunate end.
"Would you stop that? Let the poor man down!"
Kritz gasped and immediately let go of Bart at the familiar voice ordering him.
Grimacing and turning around to get sight of who had ordered him, he was taken aback to see the green glow in those eyes.
''Lord Hisha?!''
Without thinking too much of it, he jumped off the table and went on one knee while bowing in respect.
The sudden disy of loyalty disturbed Hisha as he cursed himself for butting in.
[Real smooth, host]
HTC chastised, not pleased with how things turned out even after giving Hisha some advice.
[03:18:02]
"My L¨C"
"Don''t you dare refer to me in that way, and most especially not in here!" Hisha cut in immediately before Kritz could refer to him using Lord Hisha.
He had chosen to disguise himself in hopes of blending in; if Kritz would speak to him with his title, it would ruin all he had worked for in trying to escape.
The only thing that he could do is nullify the situation before it escted.
At first, he had been unwilling to help when he heard all themotion going on the other side¨Chis breaking point would be the bartender risking his life for someone he barely knew.
"Come along, the room is still open for you toe in," Hisha said and pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head.
Easing his posture, Kritz looked over his shoulder. "Count yourself fortunate to have been favored by the celestials."

Chapter 61 Brood All That Hate
In Winst¨CLycan territory,
? The city of Winst was built amidst the swaying grasses of a windy meadow. Its uniqueness is matched by the backdrop of a smoldering volcano which has helped shape the city into what it is.
The materials these volcanoes brought were of great importance to the Lycan tribe, but they were also influential when it came to architectural designs as the vast majority of buildings have been built with volcanic rocks and simr-looking materials.
Winst has strictws andw enforcement, which is normal for its barbaric nature.
This is also reflected in the city''s g, which has a silhouette of a snarling wolf''s head with a white w mark across the right eye.
The people are troubled due to a decreasing poption, caused by a lot of civil unrest after the verdict given by Lord Hisha.
"Lychief Wae, we can''t stand being treated like a lower ss by the others!"
There was an uproar as they stood outside the fortress with itsrge metal gates and guards stationed to guard and ward off the citizens who were raising their hands in revolt.
"Even those in Straton had begun to treat us unfairly!"
"Answer us, Lychief!"
"You restrict our ess to the food reserve! We would starve to death with the little rations given asionally!"
*****
Inside the fortress,
"Ha ha," Wae took a huge bite off the drumstick and smeared his lips with the sauce it had been coated in.
Hearing even his people revolting was as amusing to him as seeing the reduction in his people.
''More food for me,'' He thought with a smirk, throwing his legs onto the table and leaning back in his chair, taking yet another huge bite off the meat.
He had six of his advisors watching him while salivating, they hade to bring him the news of the citizens, but he had red up and forced them to watch while he ate in front of them.
"Are you all hungry?!" Wae pretended to be concerned and roved his hands with a balsamic roast pork tenderloin in his palm.
The six advisors gulped and watched with hunger at the tease their chief was ced on them.
One of them bold enough to respond nodded his head, he was the youngest and had been chosen by lot.
He had his red hair in a jagged hairstyle with bangs that covered his left eye.
His face had been marked with two green paint marks on his right cheek signaling his prowess even at a younger age inparison to the rest of the advisors.
"Oh, why don''t youe on, forget about these old fools who don''t know how to take what they want!" Wae beckoned the young advisor with a wicked grin.
The hall fell silent as the rest all watched to see how this mistake would unfold for the youngd who had little interaction with the tactics of Wae.
Getting to his feet and reaching out for the piece of pork, Wae retracted his hand and shook his head. "You need to get closer, I can''t be the one stressing out my hands, you should understand."
The youngd nodded, driven by the starvation, he edged closer and gave a bow while opening his palms to be given the meat.
sh!
Wae used the sharp ws he had secretly protracted to deal a devastating blow.
"Aaah!" The youngd screamed in blood-curling pain as he had his hands cut off from the wrists.
Blood gushed out as he dropped to the floor and began to convulse.
"The things my special ws could do." Wae snickered and wiped the blood off his face and smeared it on the pork before throwing a handful in his mouth.
The other advisors watched in horror at their chiefughing hysterically and munching on his food with no care.
They cast a pitying gaze on the youngd, shaking their head on how foolish he had been not to notice something was off about the offer given so freely.
Purple veinlike marks had begun to spread on the lifeless body thaty in the pool of his blood.
"I don''t share my resources with fools!" Wae sneered at the body and instantly changed his demeanor, shing an eye-shut smile at the rest who stared nkly at him.
"So, what do you all want to say?" He forced a smile that scared them and forced them to silence.
"Nothing?" He questioned with a scoff.
pping his hand on the table, it shook and resonated causing all to get a jumpscare.
ring at all his advisors he transitioned into a grin. "I got you all good, right?"
They all reluctantly nodded their heads, knowing the repercussions of ignoring his words when needed.
Letting out a sigh in exasperation, he gave a light push on the dishes and snarled. "These should be sufficient for the popce."
Withoutmenting much on what was given, they gave a bow and one of the advisors coated the dishes with his Sux, causing it to hover on hismand.
They had just turned to leave when Wae called on their attention. "Kill any who decides to take more than what is given!"
There was a sh of shock that crossed their faces but without much say after the grim reminder of where they stood, they could only nod at themand.
"Get this body away before it reeks." Wae pegged his nose and blew on it while faking a shiver.
Watching them do as he had instructed, he walked to his balcony to look down at his people actively revolting.
''Yes, brood all that hate, when the time is right, it will be channeled to the right cause!'' He had a devilish smirk and turned to get back to his chambers.

Chapter 62 Have A Natural Conversation
In the citadel,
Walking side by side were Hisha and Kritz, none willing to speak on their encounter in Straton.
[What''s with the awkward silence? Man up as you should be as an overlord!]
HTC snickered in Hisha''s head and took full amusement in teasing its host.
''Do you have an off switch?!'' Hisha threatened, feeling downhearted and irritated after his points had felt like a waste.
[If I did, you would hesitate in pressing my buttons]
Hisha let out a sigh and let Kritz lead the way toward the next batch of harem members he was meant to meet.
''Do I have to do this? How about hosting another tournament and let''s watch them kill each other and reduce the number drastically?'' Hisha tried to reason with his system.
[Don''t be so impatient in achieving your goals, without a driving force to be loyal, there is no way they would stick by just because of your power and good looks!]
Hisha''s lips drew into a thin line, this was one of the few times that HTC made logical reasoning and he was stunned and speechless.
He knew HTC was right, at first he had not understood what was the reason behind visiting the meretrix in their room.
After careful consideration, he realized this was the only way to effectively bond with them on a personal level and observe those who could work together to perfect their coordination.
''You''re right, I need to think of the long-term benefits. Yoru can''t defeat me alone and vice versa.'' Hisha affirmed.
Staring at the back of Kritz, he wondered what could be going on in the thoughts of his assistant.
"Kritz..."
Stepping to a halt, he turned around to listen to what his lord had to say. "My lord..."
Hisha narrowed his eyes, unsatisfied and disturbed that even at a confusing moment for Kritz, he had to force down his suspicions and thoughts because of loyalty?
This triggered an underlying urge to question what he had been longing to get answers to.
"Why are you loyal to me?"
Kritz was taken by surprise by the question and his brows furrowed at the sudden interest by his lord.
"I owe you my life." He tantly answered.
Inwardly facepalming at the response, Hisha shook his head and folded his arms.
"There is more to it, and I know it. I had saved you, but there must be a reason you have stuck by me even when you know how well the tribal chiefs are plotting against me." Hisha pointed out, poking at Kritz to get him to express his true feelings on the subject.
Kritz had opened his lips slightly but the words couldn''t be voiced in a way that he would befortable with. Looking down in disappointment at how cowardly he was in the face of Hisha.
"I know you''re favored by the celestials, even though others might not see it, but I would never go against the will of the supreme beings." Kritz voiced out timidly, having his head low all the time.
Hisha had heard so much about the celestials that he had gotten sick of the notion, but was also shocked Kritz had an idea of what they had done in his previous host''s life and at the moment.
In an attempt to test him, Hisha pressed forward. "What if I lose the favor I currently possess?"
Kritz shook his head, "I would never betray you willingly, nor would it ever get called to mind, I would never bite the hand that fed me."
Hisha had a smile at the genuine and heartwarming revtion by Kritz.
"You always have a reasonable conclusion to situations and I respect that, my lord." Kritz hinted at what had transpired at the tavern with a wide grin.
Hisha nodded his head and made mental preparation for the new batch of harem members he was to visit.
"I appreciate that," Hisha smiled and patted Kritz''s shoulder as they continued in their walk towards the delegated door.
[Task: Have a natural conversation with one harem member]
[Reward: A rare item from the inventory with no cost on the coins and the charismatic ability]
''What does the charismatic ability do?'' Hisha questioned, unaware of the potency of its usefulness.
[Have you ever wanted your word to be the final say? No arguments ever needed, nor the will of your opponent or ally to resist your voice?]
Hisha bit on his bottom lip to stifle a peal ofughter from getting to the ears of an oblivious Kritz, it sounded more to him as though HTC was advertising a product for his consumption.
[Are you mocking me, host?]
An eye-narrowing emoji could be seen in zoom-in and out fashion.
Hisha looked away and pretended to be intrigued by the intricate patterns on the beams that supported the walls and ceilings.
"We''re here, my lord." Kritz gestured and pulled on the door handle.
Click!
Before Hisha could get in, his nose was graced by a pleasant scent.
Taking a big whiff, he let out a satisfying sigh of amusement and thanked Kritz for his understanding.
Kritz nodded his head and gave a fair bow in respect. Unlike thest time he had dashed out without thinking, he backed away just a wicked grin before personally closing the door.
[Time to put your skills to work]
''What skills?'' Hisha questioned in confusion, wondering what his system was talking about.
[...]
''HTC don''t you fucking leave me to guess what you me-''
"Wee lord Hisha." They all greeted him in unison, getting his attention.
He looked at them with disinterest even with the beautiful women biting on their bottom lips or twirling on their hair.
They were all dressed in matchingce two pieces.
Unlike meretrix one, these were more confident like how Zui had done and took a few steps towards him.
They all had their hands pushing up their bust and augmenting their cleavage.
Hisha held back the urge to cringe at some of them which looked extreme and with an O-cup bust that looked as though the bra would rip anytime soon.
[Meretrix: 14]
Hisha had a smile at the reduction in the number of harems he had to meet at a time, it brought confidence in him being able to aplish the task faster when he finds the chance to spark up a conversation like he had been given.
''Just how the heck am I meant to spark up a conversation?!'' Hisha narrowed his eyes at the daunting task of picking just the right one for the task.
[When you make a connection, you would know]
''Sure, another bunch of confident harem, ready to devour a conversation virgin.'' Hisha countered.
He had realized that thesedies had chosen to be with him after the let off, that would also mean that they would be more determined to have him by their side or in''side'' any one of them.
When Hisha had made a slight progressive move towards them, they all waited in anticipation of what could be done to either one of them.
"He''s going to pick me first." A sultry voice bragged to the rest.
At a nce, Hisha noticed her striking green hair and yellow-slitted eyes staring at him with zing lust.
[Meretrix 02-9]
Hisha''s eyes took in the floating stats above her head and chuckled at how full of herself she must be.
Intentionally moving towards her, he had made sure to keep her hopes high.
With rekindled hope, she smiled and waited eagerly for his approach, but at thest minute, Hisha took a sharp curve to the right to meet the very one that was bragged to.
''Sike!'' Hisha internally whooped and took the fair hands of the harem member.
[Meretrix 02-14]
Gently kissing it, he raised his head to get a glimpse of her flushed cheeks.
[Exp+2]
White, shoulder-length hair awkwardly hangs over a full, wild face. Dazzling amber eyes had been clouded with desire.
Smooth skin elegantlypliments her hair and cheekbones as she couldn''t control her emotions.
''Finally, I''m back to the normal exp cement without my Sux draining.'' Hisha let out a sigh of relief at the difference the rest of his harem had on him unlike Alta and had his hand trace her cheekbones.
"My lord, do consider us all too, we are willing to do anything you please." Anothermented, seeing that they were still ignored after the drastic discement and reduction of their numbers.
Hisha pulled her closer to his face to have a good look at the same one before him, her smile only broadened as she prepared to introduce herself.

Chapter 63 Let Me Relieve You ?
"My Lord, it''s a pleasure speaking with you." She said with a smile.
Even though he had HTC at his disposal to pull up a character status, he chose not to personally know any of them except if they made an impact on his interest.
Holding her waist, he had a smirk as he looked down at her tempting figure.
She made no effort in pulling away and looked as though she enjoyed his attention.
"Tell me, why did you agree to stay behind and continue on this journey knowing the dangers thate with it?"
"I''d rather die than live in a world and not be in your harem."
[Why do I feel as though that was a nned reply?]
Hisha could also feel her response did feel staged and could have been different if he was in another body.
[Shallow reply...]
HTC chipped in, feeling the need to warn its host of his harem.
"Hmmm..." Hisha hummed and nodded his head to her reply, feeling he had not gotten the right answer he needed.
Pulling away slowly, he made sure to appreciate her effort and pulled on another''s hand.
Wrapping his hand around her waist, he stared into those red eyes and was instantly smitten.
Unlike the others who had their clothing in two pieces, thisdy had her in a plunging neckline and looked more like a swimsuit to him.
Her silky ck hair that flowed down to her waist was the little covering on her exposed pale skin.
[Name: Darcia Hemlock]
[Height: 172cm]
[Position: Dhampir]
''Oh, we got a half-vampire, nice.'' Hisha had a growing smirk as he took in her outlook.
"Lord Hisha, I have one request." She whispered to him, her hands roaming his body as she held his gaze.
All hairs on his body stood on all ends and he took a deep breath as he contemted what she wanted to do.
Getting on her tippy toes, she held the back of his head for a sensual kiss, exploring his mouth with her tongue.
[Exp+3]
[Exp+4]
[Exp+5]
[Exp+8]
Breaking away from the kiss, Darcia had a grin spread on her lips. Looking over her shoulder and to the rest of the harem watching them.
"That''s how you approach someone with power." She exined and searched Hisha''s eyes.
Hisha was still stunned by what had transpired and was curious to ask what she had done.
That kiss was a total of some moments and scenes he would have worked to get and was by far stronger than what Alta could readily give within that time frame.
What was more intriguing was the fact that she didn''t drain his Sux¨Cthat alone had caught his interest in the best possible way.
Pressing her bust onto his body, she wrapped her hands around his neck and whispered for him to take her to the bed.
Hisha couldn''t help but oblige, feeling his lustful tendency triggered exponentially.
[Lust has been triggered, host!]
Hisha could feel his erection needing to be let out of its constrictions.
At thest minute after dropping her on the bed, he pulled away as though he had seen a ghost.
In his brief moment of getting a hunch on what her ability was, he wiped his lips and let out a chuckle in disbelief.
''She got aphrodisiac-inducing abilities, that would exin the sudden boost in my exp.'' He tousled his hair and tried to maintain control of his thoughts.
It dawned on him that HTC had not warned him about what Darcia could do to him.
He needed to be sane to carry out the task.
''Why? HTC what were you thinking?''
Darcia crawled to the edge of the bed and watched him closely, "did I do anything wrong, my lord?"
[I am a desire system after all if this is a way of gaining more at a quick pace, there is no way I would stop it from happening]
Hisha massaged his forehead as he tried to contemte what was going on with his body.
''Are you telling me there isn''t a side effect to this, like Alta?''
"No, you didn''t." He forced a smile and took a nce at the other harem members who looked like hungry lionesses waiting to devour him and he could tell that their eyes were set on his crotch.
The thought of what could transpire between them all made him groan in pleasure and his cock twitched in his pants, needing to be let loose anytime soon.
[As long as you can avoid her taking a bite on you while she''s about to climax, you should be fine]
''What the heck happens if she does that?'' Hisha stared at Darcia who still had the smirk on her lips before giving him a wink.
She looked ready to get it on and was intentionally edging him on to get a taste of her body.
Hisha understood that her aphrodisiacs were still working and needed to be managed before he went on a lustful rampage.
Climbing off the bed, Darcia swayed her hips and made sure her J-cup jiggled for his entertainment.
Her nipples poked at her clothing, giving Hisha a glimpse of what she would look like without the piece of clothing.
Shaking his head, he was determined to spark a conversation, anyway, it could be.
Closing the gap between them, he pulled her to him and confidently asked. "What can you offer to me with an attitude like this?"
Hisha wished she could take up his words and unintentionally start up a conversation with him.
Taking up his challenge, she pulled down the straps of her clothing, never breaking eye contact with Hisha until she had it all off and stood naked in front of him.
The rest harem gasped at how bold she was and stared at the two, unsure of what could happen since Darcia had taken the step of charming their lord.
[Things should turn up from here]
Hisha tried his best to maintain his attention on her face as she narrowed her eyes, waiting for him to fall effortlessly into her trap.
"Why don''t you observe me, to know what you''re in for once you are all over me?!"
Unable to control his lustful tendencies anymore, his eyes roamed her body.
Her breasts were perky even with their size. Her voluptuous yet slender figure was in full disy for him to feed his eyes.
''Fuck this temptation standing in front of me!'' Hisha gave up on his will to resist.
If this was his opportunity to have sex with a harem other than Alta, he wasn''t going to back down on this one-time offer.
"My, my... lord Hisha, you are excited to see me. I would take that as a sign that I have seeded." Darcia''s sultry voice could be heard as her eyes were glued to his erection.
Going down on her knees, she had her hands on the waistband of his pants. "How about I help you to relieve your issue?"
Without giving him a moment to respond, she pulled on his pants and tugged them down to his ankle.
His 12-inch erect sheath sprung to life and had Darcia dodge a poke from the unexpected length.
The other harem gasped in shock at the size, standing by the sideline and watching things unfold to their secret pleasure.

[You''ve sparked the desire of all 14 harems desire with your cock]
Hisha grimaced at the information given by HTC. He couldn''t think of anything else which could make him cringe in the situation that he was in.
They had all stripped off their two pieces, going down on their knees, they waited for what he would do with them.
shing their best position to entice him, Darcia touched the tip of Hisha''s cock and giggled.
Pulling her hair in a messy bun, she wrapped her little fingers on his cock, she gave it a slight squeeze and was graced with Hisha groaning in pleasure.
The others all took strategic positions as they found ways they could please him and themselves.
When Hisha felt Darcia''s tongue swirl around his cock, his hips jerked forward.
''I don''t think I can take all these teasing!'' Hisha alerted his system, hoping he could still carry out the task nheless.
[Be natural, rx and you shall get what you seek]
Hisha let out a groan when he felt the others grope on him.
''What the fuck?!'' He gasped and had wide eyes at the intensity of his pleasure multiplied.

Chapter 64 Are You Ready? ?
[R-18]
***
Two had begun to y with his nipples and another kissed him on the lips while moaning into his mouth.
Two others took one of his balls each and sucked on it while kneading their breasts.
Another was behind him and had her breasts pressed against him, her hand stroking the length of his sheath that couldn''t be reached by Darcia.
The remaining all had begun to watch, all waiting for their turn to get a chance at getting closer to Hisha.
''This is fucking awesome!'' Hisha thought and had a satisfying grin at his growing desire to go further.
Pulling out her mouth, Darcia made a popping sound and gasped for breath. ''This is more than I had thought I could handle.''
Hisha frowned the moment she pulled away. Withoutmenting on theck of pleasure he had been getting, he swept her off her feet and made his way to the bed.
Darcia let out a gasp once she was ced on the bed.
Pushing back, she watched with a curious gaze the moment Hisha crawled his way to her forming creases as he made his way forward.
"My lord, do I look pleasing to you?" She bit down on her bottom lip and widened her legs to give him a glimpse of her pink folds.
Beckoning him forward with her index finger, she let out a moan when Hisha pulled her chin in for a kiss.
Hisha had his focus on her glistering red eyes and couldn''t stop himself from grinning the whole time.
"You don''t look only pleasing but intriguing and mysterious." Hisha''s raspy voice could be heard in a whisper as he did so in her ear.
Widening her legs, he looked down and back up at Darcia.
Her chest heaved when she tried to maintain herposure in the best possible way while keeping up with her act.
[A virgin¨Cunlike the subus you would encounter...]
''I know, I didn''t skip that part of the topic in school, thank you.'' Hisha stopped HTC before it could go on about the little hindrance he would have to cross.
He could feel the side of the bed dip with the others climbing onto the bed to join in the fun.
To ease the tension, they began to knead Darcia''s breast and some came up from behind Hisha to stroke him so he fell deeper into his lust.
They had all heard about this overlord''s sexual prowess and were more than excited to witness it themselves.
Pinching and lightly pulling on Darcia''s nipples, one nudging her clitoris and were d to see her secret enough to coat her now wet entrance.
Darcia threw back her head and let out moans as she watched Hisha get his body pleasured by the others too.
He had over her, yet he was bucking his hips to the strokes of another.
''That''s so hot!'' Darcia cackled amidst moaning when she felt the pressure increase.
"Fuck me!" She moaned, feeling the sexual frustration heightened.
Whispering into Darcia''s ear, a harem member rifies their actions, "we are doing this so he''s quickly done with you and we get our turn."
Darcia smirked, understanding that was the only reason they would be so eager to join in.
"Whatever, so long I''m fucked first." She snickered to the rest and winked at them to spite them.
Hisha had caught on to their passive-aggressive speeches and brushed off the others who had tried to jack him off to ejacte.
[Should I tell them?]
HTC teased knowing that Alta hade in first in that aspect and might as well kill them if she got word of her potential rivals for his affection and in bed.
Amused by HTC''s sense of humor, Hisha smirked and held his cock, stroking it as he had his focus on Darcia''s cunt.
''It isn''t as though they can hear or see you, nor would I want to burst their bubble, I''d like to see how well she can perform.''
[Spoken like a true lustful ruler]
HTC praised and disyed a smiling emoji.
Leaning forward, Hisha pretended as though he did not know her virgin status, making it his aim to tease her.
"For someone so bold, it feels as though you''re a pro at this. Could I learn a few things from you?"
Darcia giggled and moaned which ended with a hup when she felt the tip of his cock push on her folds.
Her eyes widened when feeling the pulse throb on her, she had tried to look down to understand how it was being ced but Hisha pulled her chin upwards.
He looked as though he was enjoying her expression and pushed half an inch in which brought out a gasp when she felt her inside stretch.
Darcia gritted her teeth and tried to maintain her cool while taking long breaths in and out.
Hisha stopped and searched her eyes and hoped she could respond to him.
"It. is. my. first. time." Darcia grabbed a handful of the sheets below and her feet curling with the slight sharp pain she was getting as he went another half inch in.
At that moment, Hisha had gotten an inch in and watched her reaction to gauge how far he could go for herfort.
She exhaled with her mouth, this had left the others impatient and three continued with their hands on his nipples which seemed to have a bit of effect on Hisha as he groaned and bucked lightly.
Darcia had her mouth in an ''o'' and exhaled air as she felt him go in an inch more than he had been.
[This wouldn''t work at the pace you''re in, host]
Hisha couldn''t help but agree, it was starting to hurt him for his painfully erect cock going at a snail''s pace.
cing his hands on the bed and maintaining himself above her, he alerted her that he was going to go through with it, but it was going to hurt a bit.
He needed her to make a mental preparation before he goes with his n.
"Are you ready?" He inquired with his hoarse voice.

Chapter 65 Shared Hobby
Laying his back on the bed, Hisha''s chest heaved as he chuckled after the experience.
Gaining two fetishes wasn''t so bad after all.
[Fetish: Deflowering]
[Fetish: Group Sex]
Darcia rested her chest on him, smiling like a child. "Your stamina is extraordinary, my lord."
She had recalled how he had managed toy all of them effortlessly with none of them being able to keep up.
"Which one of us did you enjoy, lord Hisha?" Meretrix 02-13 inquired.
Hisha closed his eyes the moment he felt sucking movements on his cock which was slowly getting awake.
Deep down he knew why they were so ecstatic about his cock, but with the help of his system, there was no way they could get an heir from him.
"It''s best if you take it slow, for your sake," Hisha said with a low groan when he felt hands stroking his sheath.
Darcia had a smirk as she watched the others try their best in gaining his attention as she had.
"How about you let his cock go, La." She spat at the white-haireddy.
La pulled out her mouth off his cock with a pop and scoffed at how prideful Darcia was beside Hisha.
"You aren''t the only one who can bring out the beast in him." La used and went back down to sucking on Hisha''s cock while letting the others stroke the rest which her mouth couldn''t engulf.
They had all noticed when they had been thrust from behind, Hisha invested more of his time thrusting into Darcia and in the end making his final thrust and spilling his semen into her womb.
''What if she''s pregnant and we just sit back and watch?! No!'' La shook her head to the thought, not willing to let it slide without getting a creampie from him
Hisha let out a low groan and chastised her for trying to awaken his desire.
La pulled away and licked her lips. "It was so tempting that I had almost forgotten what was important."
Sitting up straight, he pulled on the duvet so it could cover his erection while he spoke.
He had always wondered why he had to get to a different meretrix once in a while before another tournament.
''HTC, you know what I wish to know!'' He called on his system.
Darcia sat up and ced her head on his chest, her hand roaming on his chest. "I knew I didn''t make the wrong choice by leaving."
[...]
Fluctuating loading ellipses appeared in front of Hisha as HTC thought about the amount of information it could dispense to its host.
For a brief second when Darcia had praised him, Hisha felt a sense of pride at her words, d that he could be what they had hoped he could deliver.
''Who''s the virgin now?!'' Hisha let out a chuckle in his thoughts, satisfied that the original host had not bothered showing up in his subconscious or made do with his threat of taking over.
[You are paired in hopes of producing an heir, one that would take over your rule when you abdicate the throne]
''Abdicate? Who says I''m going to do that? I have all eternity to aplish my greatest desire!'' Hisha countered, wondering why the original host had agreed to such a stupid idea.
? He wondered why he is immortal if he couldn''t make the best out of his situation.
[...]
Not being able to exin the pact the original host had made to bring peace to thend and in turn, being the ruler, it was left speechless at his memory recovery percentage.
Wanting to keep Hisha in for a little while longer, La decided to spark up a question she had wished to know.
"Aside from lording over thends, what are the sort of hobbies that you would love to engage in?" She batted hershes with curiosity.
Her hand pushed up her perky breasts, much to Hisha''s dismay.
He turned his face away from her and the others, his focus on the ceiling. Even after what they had all engaged in, it still felt a bit awkward for him to concentrate while staring at their naked body.
"Do put on your pieces of clothing, don''t have any funny ideas." He coughed out.
La looked down at her breasts and smiled sheepishly, "yes, my lord."
Picking up her underwear under the heaps of others, she slipped on the panties and turned to the others.
They all stared back, not wanting to do the same if Hisha hadn''t instructed them to.
As though reading La''s mind, Hisha continued, "all of you do the same."
Reluctantly, they all went searching down the bed for theirs.
Sighing, Hisha pinched the bridge of his nose, waiting for them to oblige and could return to the bed once done.
"I always enjoyed listening to music, it has a calming effect on me." Hisha reminisced on his life in his world.
Voluntarily taking up the offer to work at a record store was a blessing he sometimes wished he could experience once more.
"Music?" Meretrix 02-10 question, stunned by his answer.
Before Hisha could register if he had made yet another terrible mistake, he was cut short by the squealing of thedies.
"I also love music!" La raised her hands, twirling with graceful steps and light taps of her feet.
Throwing her hands in the air, she made a final pose and had ps to cheer her.
Hisha smiled at the little performance.
"My mother had told me that I could be¨C"
Hisha frowned when she stopped and her body trembled as her gaze fixated on the ground and looked like she had seen a ghost.
"La?!" Hisha called on her name in worry.

Chapter 66 Come At Me, If You Can
''I couldn''t possibly share that part of my silly idea.'' La shook her head and let out a sigh.
Inhaling and exhaling, she forced a smile. "It was stupid to consider that."
She had been torn by her love for music and martial arts, and being chosen as one of Hisha''s harem was testimony to her unique prowess.
Flipping back her white hair, she walked back to the rest who had taken their position at the bed.
Darcia cleared her throat and smiled at Hisha, "we were all wondering..."
All attention was drawn to Darcia with a questioning look by the remaining harem¨Cwe?
Ignoring their signals and reluctance to be called out with her, she harrumphed and focused her attention on Hisha.
"Go on." Hisha urged her to continue.
"How was that demoness selected? She doesn''t act like the rest of us." Darcia unintentionally said with spite at the thought of Alta crossing her thoughts.
Hisha had wanted to burst intoughter.
''Even I don''t know how she was selected, but I could tell she was among a selected few personally chosen by the original host.''
With the tribal chief kept in the dark about Alta could only mean that the original host had been discreet in a few of his ns.
The fact that even he still hasn''t gotten the majority of the original host''s memory or HTC deliberately ignoring questions out of his jurisdiction until he could ess those memories was frustrating.
"What is the distinguishing factor between the way you all act aside from your race, personality and abilities?" Hisha questioned with a raise of his brows.
"How do you view a psychopathic lunatic who''s out for blood?!"
"Are you talking about the vampire tribe?" Hisha countered with a smirk.
With the description, he could only think of the despicable tribal chief''s race.
The others burst intoughter at Hisha''s witty response and were d that he wasn''t taking the matter too seriously as they had imagined it to be.
Darcia hissed at thement, given that her race was considered an outcast to the vampire tribe.
''They were the ones who had caused our bloodline to be this way, why do we have to suffer the consequences?!'' She looked down in despair, hurt by Hisha making her recall her heritage.
"No?" Hisha questioned even though he knew the answer, it was best to quell their desire to revolt against the one who could end their existence in their current progress.
Letting out a sigh, Darcia shook her head and calmly responded. "I had referred to the subus, and somehow it isn''t secret anymore."
"Darcia!" One of the harems hissed at her words hinting at something they had wished to stay hidden from Hisha.
Darcia rolled her eyes, feeling much more confident to speak on the issue, they had made it clear they weren''t part of what she had wished to say.
''Now you look like you want me to shut up?! Too sad!''
"What''s not a secret?" Hisha inquired, looking suspiciously to his side when he noticed Darcia intentionally avoiding the hard res at her by the others.
As soon as Hisha looked to his side to have a clearer picture of the rest, they all put up a stoic faces and avoided eye contact.
[The news must have been so secretive that they turn away guiltily]
''Thanks for pointing that out.'' Hisha reasoned sarcastically.
"Most of us¨Cwith them included..." Darcia paused, pointing at every single one of the harem members beside him.
They all pretended as though she had cursed them, dodging her finger of usation.
"... we all thought it was rather suspicious and unfair to all of us who strive to win your admiration, yet she had gotten away with that despicable thing she had done!" Darcia spat with spite.
[She does have a point]
If Hisha could re at a personified version of HTC, he would have obliterated its head first.
He had been given a stupid task to copte with Alta and gain her submission, the celestials had rather ced a curse on him and hindered his ability to give out the punishment he knew the other harem desired.
Yet, despite all of this, he had overlooked what she had done to contain lots of casualties.
''Would you just shut it?!'' Hisha''s brows twitched with burning fury against his system, he was done being discarded by his system whenever a point was made, being treated almost as though he was ignorant about what he was going through.
"Would you have preferred if she had killed a lot more if I hadn''t arrived?" Hisha reasoned, internally facepalming because none could see the bigger picture.
There were just a selected few who could match up with Alta''s aggression ande out unscathed.
Darcia was stunned by his reasoning, taken aback by his stoic expression. "Would you have permitted us to ambush and kill one another, my lord?"
There was a collective gasping from the others who took his silence as a confirmation.
"Indisputably not, I would never encourage that sort of action." Hisha tantly turned down the idea.
Adamant on getting the truth out of the box, La cut in immediately. "Does that mean only Alta could pull on one of those dishonorary actions and get away with it?"
Darcia''s face lit up at the support she had gotten from La, giving a nod of appreciation.
"She has been disciplined and wouldn''t engage in such acts," Hisha assured, hoping not to sound biased about the discussion.
[Wrong move, host. What sort of discipline are we talking about?!]
HTC snickered at the sort of response its host could give if asked that question by any of his harem members
Before anyone could question his method, he continued. "Thest tournament is a testament to that, while everyone had killed their opponents, Alta didn''t."
Narrowing their eyes, the room instantly fell quiet as they all contemted what he had said.
It was true that they had all been shocked by the way Alta had handled Zui.
"You had tamed her so easily?" Meretrix 02-11 had her mouth gaped open at the information.
"Make her submissive is more like it." Hisha modified the wording.
[Keep going, you''re almost done with the task]
[Natural conversation with Darcia in progress]
Hisha''s mood instantly elevated with the news of his natural conversation with a single harem member was almostplete.
His attention was solely on Darcia, eager to get the rare item promised as a reward.
Beckoning her to return to his side, he caressed her shoulder which confused the heck out of her.
''What''s gotten into him?!'' She thought as she tried to nestle in his arms.
"Could you all tell me a bit about yourselves?" Hisha smiled, wanting to prolong the discussion further, in hopes of knowing a bit of their background history and getting Darcia to interact more with him.
La pped her hands and squealed as all harem members joined in the fun.
"Lord Hisha it would be of great privilege if we know a bit of your prestigious life outside rulership."
''What the hell?! That wasn''t part of the bargain.'' Hisha backed up as he watched all eyes focused squarely on him with mischievous grins.
*****
Meanwhile,
Outside the door of Meretrix 02,
Kritz had been standing out, keeping watch for intruders, after what Hisha had rted to him on what had gone wrong with his sanity, he realized there was a lot for him to learn from Lord Hisha.
''I would never allow anyone to use my weakness to their advantage!'' He vowed as his red eyes glowed while staring down the hallway.
Whoosh!
His eyes followed the strange sound and his canines protruded and so did his ws.
Taking a sniff of the air, he frowned at the putrid smell that forced him to take a step back.
k!
k!
The sound of something approaching caused him to put up his guard, ready to prevent the further approach of the figure.
"Come out of the shadows, and stop being a coward!" He threatened with a hiss.
A series of cackledughter could be heard from the other side as the movement stopped.
Kritz growled as he watched a wooden leg bring out its tip so he could understand the unlikely situation he was in.
Even though Kritz was confident in his abilities, he was also puzzled as to how this strange creature or deceptive work of someone against their supreme ruler, got into the citadel.
"Aren''t you scared of what you might see once Ie out of the dark?" The eerie voice questioned.
Unfazed by the taunts from the strange individual, Kritz prepared for an attack. "How about you show yourself and see what I think about your mistake in stepping a foot into the citadel?!"

Chapter 67 Is That Possible?
Tsk!
Tsk!
The voice clicked its tongue in an attempt to beckon it out.
Retracting its steps, a red glow could be seen in the shadows.
"You suppress your true potential, Vandrik."
Kritz snarled at the reference, disturbed by the wordsing from someone or something he couldn''t put a finger on.
Sprinting forward in hopes of getting the culprit before he would lose the traces, to his disappointment he saw ck mist evaporating.
Cackles could be heard from the dissipating entity.
Kritz scanned his environment, confused by the sudden appearance of the unidentified voice.
He could have sworn that name he had been referred to felt strangely familiar.
Click!
Whipping his head back, he let out a sigh of relief at seeing his lorde out with a smirk.
"Lord Hisha..." He gave a slight bow in the presence of his lord.
Hisha shook his head and pulled Kritz by the ear.
"Come with me."
Kritz gritted his teeth as he was led away.
*****
"My lord, did I disturb you?" Kritz asked with worry as he watched Hisha observe him suspiciously.
Hisha shook his head, on the contrary, he had a unique experience with his harem members and had been sessful in gaining the rare item and the charismatic ability.
[What''s going on in your thoughts, host?]
Hisha narrowed his eyes at Kritz, unsure if he could use the rare item on him.
"How would you feel if you had your greatest wish brought to reality just for a few hours?" Hisha questioned cryptically.
Kritz raised his brows at the question, unsure as to what his lord meant.
"As much as I would love to dream, there is no way my wish could be heard," he looked down dejected and his lips drew into a thin line.
[Host, are you nning to do what I think you want to do?
HTC repeatedly brought up the question in hopes of getting an answer, but to no avail.
[Are you still mad at me, host]
Hisha leaned on the wall, his arms folded as he thought back to what his system had made him go through before he could gain the requirements needed for aplishing the task.
"What if I sat it''s possible?!" Hisha pried further.
He had always wanted to know more about his assistant, what he loved doing, and what he could have wished was possible when he found him while young and in need of care.
Kritz''s eyes widened at the suggestion, feeling Hisha did have a way to grant him his one true desire.
Dropping to his knees, he fell face t and held the position since his hopes skyrocketed.
"Would you do that for me, my lord?" He muttered under his breath, happy and confused by what he could wish for.
Hisha smiled and nodded, "You can only get what you seek after a good rest."
With a raise of his head, Kritz bopped his head, in hopes of getting what he sought after.
Hisha had a smirk on the rare item''s ability granted to hima€¡°with the ability to fulfill his loyal subordinate''s wishes, he had the privilege of seeing through their eyes and gathering the information he might need in the future.
[Please listen to me, host]
''What do you want?'' Hisha snapped and harrumphed inwardly.
[The wishes can not affect your life in any way, what makes you so confident that Kritz wouldn''t choose you to be in it?]
''There must be something he is interested in, like his origin? I''m interested in that too.''
[Remember you are only required to use this item once a week and would onlyst for half a day]
HTC reminded its host of the rarity of the item.
''It''s better to use it by someone than sitting there since I can''t use it to know who Dalsa is.''
Hisha straightened the creases on his shirt, "Could I ask why you stationed yourself at the door?"
Kritz sweatdropped and forced his face to the side, unsure about how his response would be taken.
''How do I mention that I needed to redeem myself and stick by your side, but ended up meeting some crazy ghost voice which disappeared as fast as it came?''
"I had a feeling that you might be leaving earlier than necessary." Kritz lied and hoped Hisha would buy his silly excuse.
[That''s exaggerated and unrealistic]
''That is correct, a load of bullshit that would make even Kritz lie to get me off the trail.'' Hisha calcted and had the side of his lips raised.
"Alright."
[Alright?!!!]
HTC was beyond shocked by the quickpliance to the silly excuse.
Kritz let out a sigh of relief and forced a smile thereafter.
Pulling Kritz by the cor, Hisha searched his eyes as he prepared toment on what he had noticed. "I would like to believe that whatever that had transpired which would cause you to give a false report to me is nothing but for a good reason or an embarrassing situation."
His grip on Kritz''s cor tightened and Kritz was having a hard time adjusting to the groping on his neck.
[You almost had me on the ''alright'']
[I''m d you haven''t shown signs of naivety, a good start at your response by the way]
Hisha had a smirk at thepliment given by his system.
"I would never lie to you for the wrong reasons." Kritz began, ufortable in telling him what he had noticed.
If he did speak on it, like the first time such a simr fashion had been done, this news would drive off all sense of reasoning for Hisha.
[Something feels odd about the response]
''I had also noticed that too.'' He rubbed his chin and couldn''t shake off the tempting speech by Kritz.
[Would you like to use your charismatic ability on your first victim?]

Chapter 68 There Is Always A Way
''I could do that?'' Hisha questioned out of curiosity.
This was enough confidence boost for him to be eager to test out to what extent it would go.
Before Hisha could use the ability on him, Kritz readily opened up to what he had encountered.
"It had referred to you as a Vandrik and disappeared the moment it came?"
Blinking a few times at the strangely weird question, Kritz nodded to affirm once more.
Seeing the disturbed and agitated outlook on his face, Kritz tilted his head.
"I''m deeply sorry my lord." Kritz apologized for keeping his actions a secret.
Giving a nod of eptance, Hisha exhaled and patted Kritz on the shoulder.
"When you do prepare for the next tournament, I hope to see something worth experiencing for myself."
Kritz gave a slight bow of respect to Hisha''s words and hoped there wouldn''t be anything that could disrupt the smooth running of the tournament.
Not sparing another look, Hisha walked off to his room.
''It''s best if the lots fall into a lot of duels that''s going to be entertaining.''
Hisha had a wicked smirk, confident in a few of them.
*****
Meanwhile,
In an undisclosed location,
Smash!
Crash!
"Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!" A loud shrill of anger created a deafening effect on those who were present.
Stomping her feet and throwing about everything she could think of that might work.
"Who the hell sent that puppet to infiltrate the citadel?"
Her partners all looked at one another, unsure of what they could say to their leader in a feat of anger.
Yoru red daggers at the two of them, angry that she had been kept in the dark for such trivial matters.
Silence!
"That wasn''t the right time to go with the n you dimwits?!!" She raged, ready to take up the challenge of their words.
"We apologize for the unprecedented intrusion." One of the males responded on behalf of the other.
''Speak about yourself, I refused to be punished alongside you, all of these are just mere words and petty actions.'' Gregg rolled his eyes at the plea on their behalf.
Unlike the first time they had made their appearance in the forest, Gregg looked way less mysterious without his hood on.
Dressed in an open shirt beneath his vest that shows his chest, two belts, ck pants, and ck boots with knives hidden inside their heels.
Without his hood, it revealed his ck upwards-spiking hair that would be covered by his hood on several asions.
"How can I believe what you say? You are the one who was trying to soil our ns." She pointed an using finger at Gregg.
Gregg pointed at himself, feigning having nothing to do with the shadow he had created and controlled with his Sux.
Yoru opened her palms and had him pull forcefully toward her outstretched hands, "you despicable idiot!"
Grabbing a hold of his neck, her red eyes glowed with burning rage. "Do you know how far you have ruined what we''ve built on?"
More focused on being set free, Gregg held her re, "why do you think we had been hiding our tacks and presence when we went for some spying?"
The other hooded male pped his fingers, enjoying the fun while itsted. "Gregg, it''s best you beg for forgiveness."
They had stuck together through their rough times, cultivated their energies together, and built up their body and Sux strength.
Gregg could feel the breath in him fail and he would be forced to surrender.
"I am sorry, I was wrong." He conceded and coughed out to relieve the strain in his stomach.
Not feeling the need to be secretive about her main objective, just like the Triad Unity that they represent, they could either make or break up the team.
"We need little Vandrik for our ns, always remember that!"
With Kritz embedded in their ns, they could make their trio a quadruple and fortify their spell which could trap the supreme overlord.
"I had tried to cajole him but to no avail!" Gregg hinted at what he had tried doing with his shadow puppet but failed.
"There is always a way, and when we get our Sux replenished, they would be feeling more of our presence." Gregg dered enthusiastically.
Unable to stay mad at him, Yoru nodded her head and exhaled. "We need to double up the Sux replenishment."
Calling him forward as well as that of the second, she had a smug smile on her lips.
They all shared knowing looks as she walked ahead of them, beckoning them to follow her.
*****
The next day,
Hisha''s room,
Yawn!
Stretching and turning in his sleep, Hisha opened one of his eyes and observed his surroundings, it had been quiet and different from what he had felt for such a long while.
"Is it today?" He muttered to his system.
[Did you have a good night''s rest?]
HTC teased watching its host turn continuously with a broad smile present.
''Character status!'' Hisha questioned, hopeful to get the update of what he needed.
____
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1003]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 1000/1000]
[Meretrix: 1]
[Points: 8100]
[Exp: 30]
[Total number of your harem: 6251]
_____
Hisha rubbed his eyes and stared at the Sux level which had been replenished.
Rubbing his chin, he narrowed his eyes at the stats before blurting out the question that had been bothering him.
''What the hell did I do in my sleep?'' Hisha turned to his side, letting out a sigh of relief.
[Aside from having wet dreams, you slept like a log up until now that you had changed your position]
HTC exined with a sarcastic tone to it.
''How could I get a full Sux without doing anything?'' Hisha gaped at the character status.

Chapter 69 Yin And Yang–Just Perfect °
[Slightly R-18]
*****
[...]
Shaking his head, Hisha refused to let it slide. ''Don''t give me the cold shoulder this early! It couldn''t possibly be nothing!''
[With the absence of Alta, your Sux couldn''t be drained because of the corresponding Exp gained]
Hisha rubbed his chin, internally d about his Sux being replenished.
Stretching out, he cleaned his eyes and grinned from ear to ear.
[As long as you have sufficient rest without as much interference from a certain harem member, you should get it replenished]
Nodding his head to the information, Hisha yawned once more and his eyes roved around his room.
''Why do I feel as though something fun is on its way?'' Hisha wondered within his thoughts.
Knock!
Knock!
''Was I meant to have any visitors?'' Hisha questioned, hoping his system could register his unconscious actions.
Thinking he had been sleep talking or calling that would warrant an unprecedented appearance, he got to the edge of the bed, slowly cing his feet on the cold flooring.
If it was Kritz, he would have made his presence known or would have told him.
''HTC, do you have any idea who it might be?''
[I''m a system, not some psychic]
Sweatdropping, Hisha reluctantly got to his feet and slipped on his silk robe.
While knotting the belt, he made his way towards the door, confident that he couldn''t be outwitted, he opened it.
"Sra?" Hisha stumbled back in shock at her appearance at his doorstep.
"C-could Ie in?" She said in a whisper, fiddling with her fingers.
Recovering from the initial shock, he nodded his head and mmed the door shut with the wave of his hand.
Click!
The lock was turned clockwise.
Sra momentarily looked behind her and back at Hisha with a timid smile.
Her hands were ced in front of her and her attention to the floor.
"How were you able to gain ess here?" He began, unsure of how it was even possible for any of his harems to get in.
Sra''sshes batted and she rubbed the side of her arm.
Feeling the room warm up, he could tell she was nervous and had unintentionally activated her ability.
"You need to calm down and tell me," Hisha spoke slowly and in a low tone.
Edging closer to her, she almost looked like she was lost and needed help back.
When he noticed her lips move a little, he leaned forward to get word of what she wanted to say.
"It was Kritz, he had told me you needed to see me personally." She mumbled.
''Kritz?!'' Hisha eximed in his thoughts, shocked by the revtion.
[Ability: Time maniption]
[Host, I think that your loyal assistant used the wish on you, but realized the mistake]
''Huh?'' Hisha furrowed his brow and immediately requested to view what had transpired the previous night while Kritz had tried to utilize the wish.
A cloud of smoke formed in a circr motion had him peering into a translucent and mirror-like view that blurred for a moment before showing what had transpired.
Reading Kritz''s lip movements, he could tell Kritz was wishing for his closeness with the chosen harem members¨Cthe very ones who could help him defeat Yoru.
Hisha gasped in shock, that mere wish had made him realize there was more to what the original host had shared with Kritz.
[Isn''t that cute? He sacrificed his wish for you!]
''This isn''t funny HTC, I can''t use it a week from now and it got flushed down the drain for something that couldn''t work for me!''
With frustration getting the best of him, he turned to a suspended Sra by his ability.
''Why would he tell Sra to be here?'' He looked puzzled as he scanned Sra''s body.
She was wearing a white sheer mesh maxi dress ovey from the waist down with a fitted bustier design.
It was held by thin sticated adjustable shoulder straps.
The split detail up one side of her tight gave off a seductive glimpse of her skin.
He could tell at first nce that she had dressed to impress and rightly chosen, he was.
[How about watching for yourself what she ns on doing?]
Rubbing his chin, Hisha nodded to the suggestion, curious about what that could mean for him and Sra.
Looking down at his ck silk bathrobe, he began to wonder if fate was pulling them closer.
Deactivating the time maniption, he stared at Sra as she fumbled to maintain herposure.
In contrast to how she is in the arena or during battles, with him she was as meek as amb.
Walking up close to her, he pulled her by the waist and raised her head a bit so she could stare into his eyes.
"Tell me, what do you need?" He asked with a hoarse voice.
Her pupils dted at his offer, biting down on her bottom lip with her cheeks flushed.
"I want to be intimate with you, I''ve always craved that, at least once before I might meet my¨C"
cing his index finger over her lips, Hisha shook his head, "I can be tolerant to the first request, but not thest¨Chave more faith in your ability to stay by my side."
[Real smooth, host. Real smooth...]
Hisha restrained himself from cursing at his system for its sarcasticment.
Sra''s mood brightened up by his encouragement, grabbing him by the cor and nting a kiss on his lips.
Pulling away immediately, she looked down and pushed back a strand of her hair that had fallen on her face.
"I... I couldn''t¨C"
Cutting off her opportunity to defend her actions, Hisha held the side of her face and went in for a deep and passionate kiss to stop her from speaking.
''This has been what I had wished for since the first time we met.'' Hisha revealed his thoughts, pushing her up against the wall.

Chapter 70 Ecstacy ?
[R18]
*****
Crash!
The paintings on the wall came crashing to the floor from the impact.
Caught in the sensual bliss of the moment, the crash made no impact on them, stopping as Hisha raised her.
Sra huped from the gesture, wrapping her legs around his waist and opening her legs wider for him to press onto her crotch.
Struggling for dominance with their tongues, Sra smirked in between the struggle and broke away to catch her breath.
Huff!
Huff!
Hisha had his attention solely on her lips, his desire riled up by the subtle heat wave she produced.
A part of him was wondering why he would be engaging such as the one he caught himself in, another was d that he would be doing this with Sra.
"Please take me over to the bed." She said in a whisper and out of breath.
Obliging to her request, Hisha carried her over to the bed, gently cing her down.
As the bed dipped, Sra was in a vulnerable state and her dress spread all around her. Her cheeks were flushed and she bit down on her bottom lip, fighting her desire to pull him closer so he wouldn''t have his eyes roving all over her body.
He had his hands ced by her side, holding him above her by a few inches.
"You''re beautiful..." Hishaplimented with a raspy voice, his eyes never staying at a spot for too long.
Looking at her delicate fabric, he had the urge to rip them off of her.
Rip!
Sra let out a gasp the moment her breasts were let loose after he had ripped them from her neckline.
Hisha, having a wicked smile, continued to rip at the fabric once more till he had done so with all and had the two pieces of torn fabric in his hand.
He hummed with a satisfying smile to see herid out before him in all of her glory.
''She didn''t even wear panties.'' Hisha internally facepalmed at her n for meeting up with him working.
He was starting to feel that the very lustful tendencies of the original host were rubbing off on him.
''The tournament will begin in a few hours. What the hell are you doing, Hisha?!'' He scolded himself by feeling inclined to follow his body''s reaction.
Sra''s whole body heated up from a tiny hint of embarrassment at him staring at her nakedness.
Involuntarily, her hands had wanted to go over her breasts and also her clean shaved cunt, but before she could Hisha pinned both hands above her head with his right.
Leaning down to make a whisper in her ear. "Don''t you try to hide what looks beautiful?"
Sra gulped and nodded her head to his instruction.
nting kisses from her corbone and down to her belly button, he relished in the subtle moans she let out.
Sra tried to curtail the number of moans that escaped her lips, but the emotions he was stirring in her were a little too much for her to handle.
~Mmmfff!
Sra arched her back as Hisha kissed lightly and licked all around her cunt.
~Ahhh
Her mouth gaped open as he spent a few minutes doing this until she was squirming for him to go further.
"Moooreee!!" She moaned out loud in pure ecstasy.
Using both hands to spread out her cunt lips, he slowly licks the area beneath her clitoris.
Sensing how this area was very sensitive, he began to also lick up from the base of Sra''s cunt to the top and was more than careful to tease her by not touching the clit.
Sra had her legs thrashing about, holding onto the sheets for support and wishing he could just get onto her clit.
Moving his tongue towards her clitoris, she let out a satisfying moan as a light tremble overcame her whole body.
He continued by gently sucking on her clitoris, with his mouth slightly open and tongue making a half pipe shape
? Making up, down, and sideways movements with his tongue whilst his mouth fully covered her clitoris.
~Yes... right there!
Hisha had a smirk on his lips as he groaned a little, which reverberated by giving her a vibrating sensation on her clitoris, maximizing the pleasure.
Sra let out squeals in delight as her hips buckled as spasms rocked her whole body.
[Exp+8]
Stopping and relishing in the aftermath of her orgasm, he pulled away and used his finger to simte pration.
Inserting his middle finger into her cunt, a dubious smile crept in at his implied meaning.
''This just brings a whole different feeling to the middle finger.'' Hisha snickered mischievously as he stared at his finger almost inside her.
He rested it on the base of Sra''s cunt, allowing her to feel as though she is getting fucked.
She hissed when the length of his finger had almost reached the base of that finger.
Retracting his finger to its tip, he thrust 2 inches of the length of his finger into the anterior wall while hitting her g-spot.
Still sensitive from the previous orgasm she had experienced, it didn''t take too long for another one to crash in, much harder than the first.
Unable to control her inner muscles, she squirts her juices onto his arm and the rest sprayed onto the bed.
[Fetish: Squirting]
Hisha pulled his finger and looked at his sleeve, observing with curiosity what a squirt of her secretion looked like.
Sra shut her eyes immediately Hisha locked eyes with her and licked his finger.
"No... don''t..." She muttered with her hands over her face, shaking her head.
Hisha pulled out his finger with a pop and smiled. "You can''t be shy with me now."

Chapter 71 Another Tournament With Its Own Rules
Climbing over her, he slipped off his robe.
Knock!
Knock!
Freezing in ce, Hisha hissed at the disturbance, knowing the only one who could dare knock at a time as such.
[Your very first cockblock!]
HTC snickered in Hisha''s thoughts, shing in front of his eyes a wiggling brow.
Hisha''s brows twitched at the user interface and the implied meaning HTC gave.
Sra still stayed frozen in shock, confused, and unable to move due to the panic she was ced in.
She had not been chosen as his harem, so it was forbidden to be in his room. They could only engage in any sexual rtionship while he visited their respective meretrixs.
Slipping back on his robe, he took reluctant steps to the door.
Opening the door just enough for him to peek through, he narrowed his eyes at Kritz.
shing a big grin at his lord, Kritz lightly touched his nose as a nervous reflex, knowing he had interrupted something, judging from Hisha''s flushed face.
Clearing his throat, he prepared his thoughts on how he was to present the message he was sent to convey.
"My lord..." He bowed, receiving only a grunt as a response from Hisha.
Impatient and irritated at being disturbed when he was just getting to the best part.
He temporarily tried to push down his burning desire to relieve his throbbing erection.
Looking behind him, he could see Sra scurrying for something she could put on after he had ripped her dress.
''What a stupid idea that was!'' He shook his head and turned his attention back to Kritz.
"What brings you here?" Hisha questioned, forcing a smile since he could tell what could bring Kritz to his doorstep.
"They are all awaiting your arrival at the arena." He reminded in a whisper, unsure if he was meant to convey the message in such a manner.
Hisha let out a sigh, he couldn''t believe he had spent so much time engrossed in the Sra that he had lost track of the minutes taken.
Turning his attention back to Sra, she sat on the bed, unsure of her next move with Kritz obstructing the very ce that would be her exit.
Mouthing the meretrix number she was ced in, she had hoped Hisha would find a way out of the dilemma she found herself in.
Secretly making a circr motion with two of his fingers, he created a portal that would allow her ess to her meretrix on the other end.
Lightly stepping, she bundled up the bedsheet to cover up her nakedness and skipped in so she could hurry up into the arena.
? Convinced that Zui must have searched for her and would be worried.
Kritz waited, having heard the sounds of bed creaking and footsteps.
''I did disturb them earlier.'' He lowered his head further down in despair.
Confirming Sra''s departure, Hisha shook his head and peeked through the space he had created by opening the door.
Kritz grimaced when Hisha furrowed his brows to the news and looked displeased at the turn of events.
"All are present?" Hisha tried to confirm and find loopholes not to leave under Kritz''s surveince.
"Even the tribal chiefs are present," Kritz affirmed, tackling Hisha''s original purpose of asking.
Remembering the wish he had made, he looked up to Hisha with a faint smile. "I hope you had a pleasant morning?"
Hisha raised a brow, reying the question in his thoughts, he came to realize the hidden meaning in Kritz''s seemingly innocent question.
"I know you had a hand in what happened today." He beamed with delight, yfully nudging him in the ribs.
Kritz broke off into a light chuckle, much to the surprise of Hisha.
Sensing Hisha had a prolonged stare at him, Kritzposed himself and found it hard to maintain the gaze at him.
"I had thought you were as stiff as an upright pole, no emotions sort of person, but youughed," Hisha replied.
Kritz was more shocked than he was, "I...ughed?"
Nodding his head, Hisha dismissed his worries and assured he would be out once he was done preparing.
"But my lord..."
Raising his hand to counter what he would have wished to say, Hisha shook his index finger. "It''s best you don''t rush me."
Timidly asking, Kritz spoke up once more. "Could I stand guard? I need to be sure you are safe and free from trouble."
''Protect me from trouble?'' Hisha had wanted to question the idea behind it but gave in nheless.
"We leave together if that''s fine with you."
Kritz bobbed his head, d he found himself useful.
*****
In the arena,
The loud cheers of the harem members upon sighting Hisha stepping into the arena came with thunderous apuse.
Hisha ignored the praises and focused his attention on the throne he so richly wanted to throw his leg onto the left armrest.
The moment he had climbed up the stairs, he felt a dark aura disseminating from his left, and his head whipped in the direction of Mich.
Mich gave a light bow from his chair and put on the most enchanting smile he could muster.
''Fuck you!'' Hisha spat in disdain, rolling his eyes and making his way forward to his glorious chair.
Mich let out a sigh of relief as he used his ruse smile to hide the fear and trembling in his eyes.
The moment he had seen Hisha, his heart began to pound at the possibility of being found out on his order made to the forest after the little tip he had been given.
''You still haven''t been punished for the little stunt you wanted to y on me while I was in the forest!'' Hisha''s green eyes glowed for a sh before reverting.
There was no way he was going to forget how he had felt for the first time¨Cthe inability to use his Sux, or how he was minutes away from being sealed by the crazy trio.
[You would have your moment, host. Now take it slowly]
Taking deep breaths on how he would handle the situation and satisfy his need to vent out a bit of his anger, he forced a stoic face and made his way to sit down on his throne.
Fighting the urge to sit as he had nned, he widened his legs and steepled his fingers.
Kritz stood by his side with a straight face, awaiting the order to be given tomence the tournament.
Getting to his feet, Hisha paced about a bit as he watched and took note of the harem members he knew by name.
When he spotted Sra among the crowd, he let out a sigh, unable to take her naked body off his mind.
''Control your thoughts, you stupid lustful overlord!'' Hisha scolded both himself and the body he found himself in.
It was best not to strike a boner in front of everyone, especially not the tribal chiefs.
He continued with his eyes roving until he could identify Pesa sitting idle and uninterested.
She blew on her nails, watching the empty arena as she imagined what it would be like to engage.
When she raised her head to meet the gaze of Hisha, she narrowed her eyes at him.
Concertedly nodding her head while passing a piece of secret information to him¨Cif she was called up to the arena, she hoped Hisha would return her ability just in time for her to utilize it to its full capacity.
His eyes searched once more for Alta and were stunned seeing her sitting alone but was more than shocked when he saw Sra walking up to her alongside Zui and sitting beside her.
[Is this the beginning of a friendship between them?]
''Don''t even start with me.'' Hisha rolled his eyes as he proceeded to continue.
"I wee everyone to the second part of the tournament. As we have all seen, it is a duel that could either end your life, break, or in a positive light¨Cleave you victorious." Hisha announced in a loud voice.
There was a deafening silence as they all nodded to Hisha''s words, the tribal chiefs behind him all humming to his words.
[Duel: 7]
[Number of possible harems participating: 21]
[Victories: 0]
[Points umted during the tournament: 0]
Hisha paused as he stared at the translucent screen in front of him. Doing the math, this duel was a little different from the previous one his harem members had gone through.
''HTC, tell me you''re joking about this.'' Hisha pinched the bridge of his nose, knowing the death rate was just going to double up from thest time.

Chapter 72 Would She Let Them Go?
[The harder it is, the better the result]
[For every sessful win of the first round, an awarded point of 1000 would be added]
Even though the point was tempting, he did still understand what was at stake to get them.
The same hovering silver cup materialized beside him.
Reaching into a hovering silver cup, Hisha pulled out three pieces of paper and handed them over to Kritz.
Taking his seat, he made a mental preparation on what names would be called.
"Piteia Naurian, Avina Rox, and Pesa Jynx." He announced.
Pesa got to her feet first, staring straight at Hisha for his fulfillment of the bargain.
[Someone looks a bit hyper for the tournament]
Hisha could see it for himself and had to agree.
Returning Pesa''s ability, her blue eyes glowed as she tried to locate the other two who had been called on alongside her.
Walking into the middle of the arena, she was dressed in a knee-length ck dress with a plunging neckline that reached down to her navel.
Double slits on her dress reaching up to her thighs.
Fingerless gloves and a pair of ck wedges.
All tribal chiefs were on their edges as they watched Pesa wait for the rest to join her in the arena.
Slowly and reluctantly, the others walked in.
Piteia had her ck hair tied up in a messy bun, her vicious green eyes focused on who she had considered a little bit too forward for her liking¨CPesa.
Pointing a finger at her, she scoffed. "You seem to forget that this is a tournament not just about your abilities but of your brains too."
Pesa tilted her head to focus her attention on Avina who stood idly by without saying a word. "Do you also feel the same way as she does?"
Avina''s lips drew into a thin line as she was caught in the middle of these two.
"The rules still hold out, but this time there has been a bit of change to the number of participants and so will the condition to be met." Kritz cut in with a loud voice.
Putting a hold on their little disputes, they raised their heads to listen to what conditions needed to be met.
"It is up to the middle participant to choose who to team with against the other," Kritz exined.
Avina facepalmed the moment she understood that she was the one who had been called in second and therefore the one in ce to choose between the other two.
"If the two who team against the remaining participant wins, they both win that round, but if not their lives all depends on thetter if to be spared or not."
Piteia cackled at the fun she could get from the new rule. "Surely you would pick a Fay over me, who knows what monstrosity she hides under that pale skin of hers."
Pesa clenched her fists as she held back her boiling rage at being looked down on just because they were meant to fight against one another.
''We would see who hides monstrous things underneath.'' She red at Piteia and looked over to Avina who looked like she was having a hard time choosing.
Avina nced between the two, unsure of who she could trust to lead her to victory. There was little known about what a Fay could do but that wasn''t the same with Piteia who was known as a siren with a voice to ''die'' for.
"Would you just pick a side? This is getting a little tiring!" Pesa snapped, taking a lotus position on the floor.
Hisha could already tell there was something Pesa was hiding and she was good at it.
Her position wasn''t just about being bored, but harboring something sinister and waiting to strike.
Avina felt more inclined to go with who she knew, "I go with Piteia."
''Your loss.'' Pesa let out a subtle chuckle at the choice which looked to others to put her in a tight position.
Piteia burst out in a peal of crazedughter, "you silly little Fay, today marks your end!"
Pesa let out a sigh and locked her gaze with Piteia. ''Reveal the monster from within!''
Piteia grimaced as she held her throat and her fingers began to tremble as she struggled to be in control.
"W... what did you do?"
Pesa tilted her head and feigned ignorance, "do what?"
Avina took three steps back, as she watched in horror the very partner she had picked easily get controlled by the calm and collected Pesa.
Scratch!
Piteia''s ws made four scratch marks on her neck which made her let out a blood-curdling pain.
Blood trailed down her neck in thick dark colors.
Avina had wanted to try attacking when she felt brought to her knees.
There was a loud gasp from the crowd at what they had witnessed and the silence that engulfed it was deafening.
Wae pped his hands, d he had picked on a rmendation by a letter he had received from an unknown source.
All attention was drawn to the grinning Lycan tribe leader. He didn''t show any sort of guilt for what he had done and scoffed at the attention he received.
Leaning to the left, Vanas whispered through the corner of his lips, "how the hell did you find such a dangerous harem member without being a victim of that?!"
Scrunching up his nose and taking pride in his nature, he replied in a like manner, "you seem to forget that I am a maniptive person, I have some other tricks up my sleeve."
"Hmmm..." Vanas narrowed his eyes and nodded his head. Reclining in his chair.
Hisha had a smile all the while, satisfied with the show he was given.
[You don''t seem disturbed by any of this anymore]
HTCmented, realizing how well its host was taking in all the gore and gruesome methods his harem members had to engage in to win.
''The fact that those who I share even if it''s a bit of a connection are one of the craziest when it gets to the arena.''
[It has been the case for a while now]
''Let''s just watch how well she changes the tides.''
Sra nudged Zui to the side, urging her to take note of Pesa.
"Her weapon is her eyes..." Sra whispered to Zui.
Listening in on their conversation, Alta interjected, "if only they had their other senses heightened, they wouldn''t need their useless eyes now."
Zui cringed at the maniacalughtering off Alta at the two at the mercy of Pesa.
"Weaklings! Unable to deduce their opponent''s strength and weaknesses before being caught in the web!" She spat as though it concerned her deeply.
Sra shook her head and turned back her attention to the arena. "We already know who the winner is, it all boils down to if Pesa would let them go, especially Piteia."
"Slow and agonizing death to her!" Alta whooped and hollered on for Pesa.
Her hyperactive attitude came as a shock to everyone, the once silent but lethal harem was cheering on yet another special case of a deadly harem.
Murmurs circted to the rest as they looked at the Sra and Zui with confusion as to how and why they had decided to associate themselves with Alta.
[She seems to be enjoying herself more than ever]
Hisha lightly nodded his head and shook them, happy that she found joy in something other than doing the killing or sexual pleasure.
Pesa yawned, disappointed that her opponents couldn''t even fight against her little maniption.
''I haven''t even kicked it up a notch, yet you two had easily swayed?''
"Pathetic." She muttered, clicking her tongue in disappointment.
If she had coated her body with her Sux, only then could she estimate those who could resist her hold.
Getting to her feet, she stretched out her hands and had a wicked grin. "Do I hide a monster? Do I look like one?"
Piteia''s eyes widened in horror as she felt herself losing more of her limbs which started to feel as though a ton of weight had been ced on them.
When she tried to speak, only squeaks came out as opposed to her lethal voice when her Sux was activated.
Cupping her ear with her palm, Pesa pretended to have heard a sound other than the squeak. "Did you say I should see what it''s like for you to be headless?"
Piteia''s eyes bulged at the words, shaking her head, realizing her mistake and begging to be let go.
"Oh! You don''t want that?" Pesa took a step forward, looking over at Avina. "Did you mean you''d do it for her instead?"
Avina tried to move her knees but to no avail. Instead, she let out a cry for help from the audience.

Chapter 73 Is There A Problem?
"Please, I can''t die like this." She reached out, but no one dared to spare another look her way while she teared up.
Pesa stopped in her tracks, her hands akimbo. "You must think you could unt the rules, but need I remind you, your choice affects where you belong!"
Squatting, she turned her sole attention to her first victim, "you have a great deal of stamina to still be conscious after that little bleeding you sustained."
Piteia forced her head to her right to avoid Pesa''s gaze.
"What''s the point of doing that, if you''ve already been caught on my web?" Pesa whispered with a disturbing smile.
Tsk!
Tsk!
Tsk!
Pesa shook her head, "who in their right senses wears this sort of shade to an arena? What were you trying to do, fight your way to the top while looking spotless?"
She spat in disgust at the white dress now soiled in Piteia''s blood.
Getting to her feet, she stomped down on Piteia''s stomach so she had her back on the floor.
Applying a much harder force by grounding with her wedge and making a 180¡ã turn from the left to the right and back again.
Piteia let out another scream in pain as she could feel the pressure on her rib cage.
Crrk!
Even after listening to that bit of snapping, she gave another chance at continuing.
Ccrkk!
Gasp!
The murmurs in the crowd continued.
"She is almost as monstrous as thest set who had won." One of the harem members made a sidement to another closest to her.
"They are dead, although they might have lived if only they could voice out they give up."
"Yet that stupid one cries for help instead." Another countered and facepalmed.
Raising her leg, she revealed a little ck that protracted from her heels, "I hate to waste my Sux!"
The squeaks continued as Piteia tried once more to protest and speak on her behalf, but it was toote.
Stomping back down, she stabbed Piteia''s chest. ''Not much of a talker, I see.''
Piteia had been too shocked to react before her death and had her eyes still wide open and mixed with anguish.

[Harem: 6250]
Pulling out her shoe with a bit of difficulty, Pesa exhaled and turned a blind eye to what she had just done. She needed all the duels she could participate in to win the deal set by Hisha.
Avina trembled as she witnessed Pesa approaching with a dangerous mission. "Please don''t kill me."
''What sort of guilt trap are you trying to y on me?'' Pesa tilted her head, pretending to reconsider her actions.
Hisha edged closer, curious about what Pesa had in mind. ''She wouldn''t do it, there are so many things at stake.''
[That is correct, her supposed freedom depends on these duels]
"The moment you chose to join the other, you signed your death sentence, one I would happily oblige by giving." Pesa threatened as she leaned forward with a grin.
"I give up! I give up!!!!" Avina screamed at the top of her lungs, finally remembering the one thing she could have done earlier.
Avina let out a chuckle, her hopes ced on the fact the least she would have to lose is her mark identifying her as a harem member.
''That''s right, I could marry and still have a good life outside the citadel and with my people.'' Avina thought with a smile on her face.
"You have no more hold on me, now release me!"
Pesa smiled and took a step back, knowing she couldn''t allow that to have a hold on what she nned on doing in the end.
Yagami watched with a smile, she hoped to have a duel with this unpredictable Fay and see who would be victorious.
Her fox ears pricked to the subtle change in the wind and could easily tell something was amiss.
''Snap your neck!'' Pesamanded while coldly conveying the information through the glow in her blue eyes.
Reluctantly, Avina''s hands trembled as they raised towards her head until they held both sides tightly.
[My, my... how cold, even for me]
''Shhhh!''
Kritz had wanted to intervene but was held back when he looked to Hisha for permission but all he got was a shake of his lord''s head and a stern face.
The rules had clearly stated it was up to thetter to decide what they would do to the opposing team.
Exhaling, Kritz nodded his head and straightened his posture, he wouldn''t allow anything to sway him after what he had witnessed.
Forcefully bending her head to the side, Avina cried knowing she had no chance of fighting nor did she choose the right partner.
''I shouldn''t have listened to that foolish siren, now look what hap¨C''
Snap!
Thud!
Avina''s body dropped loudly whilst biting her tongue in the process.
[1000 points acquired]
[Harem: 6249]
"Pesa Jynx wins the first round!" Kritz announces in a loud voice.
There was total silence with the only one cheering for the victory being Alta with Sra and Zui whistling so they were tagged with the overly hyperactive subus.
As expected, Hisha stared ahead to witness the tournament interface open up.
[Duel: 6]
[Number of possible harems participating: 18]
[Victories: 2]
[Points umted during the tournament: 2000]
This point was more than what Hisha had gotten with one duel in thest tournament.
With a smug look on his face, Hisha cast his eyes on Pesa who yawned once more, uninterested in what she had done.
[Ability: Extraction]
Pesa let out a sigh when she noticed her ability had been taken once more.
''In the end, I still need to participate in all this crap to gain my freedom.'' Pesa shook her head as she made her way back to her space among the rest.
Mich had his feet involuntarily drumming on the floor, concerned about the sort of harem that flocked around Hisha.
''What if he knows? None of my soldiers returned nor did I get any word sent from the mysterious group who had given the letter.''
His eyes searched the floor in hopes of finding answers to the main reason he felt as though Hisha was reserving something sinister for him after the tournament.
''No, I can''t be present till this tournament ends, I need to think of something quickly!'' He gave a light nod to his thoughts.
Getting to his feet, the remaining tribal chief''s attention was drawn to him and so was Hisha.
[It would seem that the Merchief is a little agitated about something... hmm... I wonder what it might be...]
HTC gave a suggestive implication to what Mich nned on doing.
Hisha narrowed his eyes, knowing full well what it meant and why Mich was at his toes.
"Is there a problem?" Hisha growled in a low deep voice as his eyes glowed¨Cready to exact a bit of revenge if he was provoked.
Mich sensed a drastic change in his lord''s aura and gulped. Internally regretting taking a step too far without consulting first.
"No problem, Lord Hisha." He shook his head and forced a grin.
Hisha narrowed his eyes and forced him back to sit, feeling the need to show a bit of his ability to the one who could disregard him in search of a stronger source.
He knew it wasn''t possible to be so confident in attacking him if he didn''t have some sort of backing and that he could already guess the culprit.
Mich groaned in pain when he tried to adjust his sitting position to no avail.
"How about you choose the next?" Hisha offered with a ruse smile, easing his hold on Mich.
Mich let out a gasp of relief and was forced to oblige. "Of course, I will, my lord."
Giving a slight bow, raising his head, he watched as the silver cup materialized in front of him.
Hisha gestured with his brows, urging him to dip his hand in it to pick the next three.
Doing as he had been directed, Mich pulled out three pieces of paper which were swiped from his hand by Kritz.
''You loathful assistant!'' Mich spat out in disdain.
The wicked smirk on his lips made him question what Kritz had seen when he briefly nced at the name.
"Divei Fic, Lona Poxe, and Ste Davis." He announced.
The first harem that had been mentioned was one of his tribe''s mermaids who were chosen just like the rest.
This selection had been a blow to his tribe since she had fit into the criteria for Hisha''s harem and a loss to the merfolks.
''What exactly are you nning?'' Mich narrowed his eyes at Kritz who had his attention on the arena just like everyone else after him calling out for the three picks.

Chapter 74 Just Give Up Nicely
Divei has light green, perfectly groomed hair clumsily hanging over a fresh, cheerful face. Hollow brown eyes, set elegantly within their sockets, locked eyes with Mich.
An old tattoo of a tail fin is almost hidden just above the left side of her neck and leaves an intriguing memory of who she once was.
Smooth skin elegantlypliments her cheeks and leaves a pleasurable memory of her beauty.
''She would have been the perfect candidate for the pearl assessment.'' Mich thought with regret.
Fantasizing about what he would have done with her and the underlying results that would have sprung from their coption.
''Frich was stupid to let the opportunity go! Now, all we are left with is beauty without brains and a possibility of never seeing a clear pearl!'' Mich''s anger rose as he stared at Divei, suppressing it with his tight grip on his armrest.
No matter how much he wanted to protest, this was their quota, just like the rest of the tribe who gave up their females who had fit in with the criteria.
Seeing how one of Vanas'' own had been killed, he could only wish the same wouldn''t befall Divei.
Divei walked out timidly, standing amid Lona and Ste.
Hisha stared at Divei, mesmerized by her unique beauty and charm, and traced her line of sight to Mich who seemed agitated by her presence.
A smirk made its way to Hisha''s lips as he devised another step he could take against Mich.
Lona had her ears pointed and her white hair packed in a side ponytail with a fringe and bangs framing her pale skin.
Her clear blue eyes warmly looked over to Ste who they had been friends since they had arrived in the citadel.
Ste was human, but this didn''t stop them from bonding over the fact that elves possessed little to no Sux and had to rely on weaponry just like humans.
Lona had strapped behind her, a bow and arrows shoved into the ground in strategic points.
Divei could tell they would team up against her and because of the rules, she was prohibited to use her ability given a human was involved.
''Great! Just great!'' Divei sarcastically cursed at her bad luck.
Ste was a fierce-looking human with her bandaged fists already clenched and ready to attack.
She wore a ck bodycon suit that clung tightly to all her curves. Even though she was slender, her muscr features which could have been achieved through rigorous training could be spotted.
Blowing off a loose strand of her red hair away from her face, she looked to Lona for her selection.
"I choose Ste Davis," Lona announced with a beaming smile to her friend.
Mich bit down on his lips, nearly bursting out intoughter at what mistake they had made.
''She can''t be the best in my tribe if she isn''t good enough. Not using her Sux should be the best option for you both.''
Hisha had his attention on Mich the whole time and as he studied his facial expressions, he came to realize there should be a trick up Divei''s sleeve.
''That smirk, there''s something I''m not getting.'' Hisha deduced.
Even though the fight looked more like she was at the disadvantage, Divei looked more confident than the two just like Pesa''s situation.
[This should be fun, don''t you think, host?]
''It''s only fun when it''s not predictable.'' Hisha countered and hoped he could get something to feed his eyes just like the one Pesa had given.
Taking two steps back, Divei chuckled at the sight, knowing her fate even before the duel would begin.
Inhaling and exhaling, she opened her eyes once more and prepared for the next n of action.
Lona ced an arm on Ste''s shoulder and whispered, "we don''t know what sort of tricks she could pull off and neither do I want to be as rash as the previous team."
Ste shook her head, "she''s defenseless and it also seems to me that she had hoped to use her abilities."
These words had been a source offort to humans and elves alike, but when she considered the rules more closely, she understood that there was still an underlying danger.
Lona furrowed her brows, thinking about the possibility of it being true and the fact that Divei couldn''t use her ability to hurt them, whispering once more from the corner of her lips, "we can''t be too sure, if we n this right, we could¨C"
Whoosh!
Lona gasped in shock the moment she saw Divei vanish from the watch of her left eye.
"I had thought you two wouldn''t shut it in the first ce." Divei''s voice echoed all around them.
Trying to pinpoint the location of Divei, they looked all around with their backs against one another.
"What was that you said about nning?" Ste hissed in a panic.
Lona internally cursed at the arrow ced so far away from her reach.
Without the proper knowledge of where Divei was or how she had done it, leaving Ste behind was a risky thing to do.
Hisha also searched the arena for any sign of Divei and was pleasantly surprised to catch on to her presenceter on.
To the ordinary eyes of those who didn''t possess Sux, Divei''s frightening movements were not detectable and were almost seen as a blur, but to those who possessed Sux the higher their level the clearer they could detect her.
With every nce given by Lona or Ste, she had been sessful in dodging from their sight, while stalling time and increasing their anxiety.
''Isn''t the rules prohibiting anyone from using their Sux when a human is present in the arena?''
[You seem to get the rules misunderstood¨Cthe opponent is forbidden to use their ability against them not that they can''t use it to help themselves]
''So what you''re telling me is that Divei is using her ability to evade them, but can''t use it to fight against them.''
[That is correct!]
Furrowing his brows, Hisha wondered what Divei could do since she could as well understand the limit to her ability.
"I would consider you both lucky to be paired up." Divei''s voice crackled in the background as she swiftly closed in on them.
Lona finally picked up on her movements, witnessing how the arrows ced were going missing with her advancement.
"No, no, no!" Lona shook her head in a panic.
Schwp!
Kicking Ste away, Lona rolled to the other side just in time before an arrow could lodge into their heads.
Snap!
Lona cringed and cursed out because of her bad luck.
Tttnnn!
Tttnnn!
The arrows lodged into the walls of the arena, causing a little crack to form all around it.
A gasp could be heard the moment they saw Lona pull off her broken bow.
She didn''t have enough time to react when she felt a kick to her chin.
Tumbling, she crashed into Ste who had just gotten to her feet.
Pushing herself up immediately, at that point, Lona wished she could use every bit of her Sux to get an upper hand but cursed out once more knowing her ability could only be used in the offensive.
Making herself much more visible to the two, Divei sped her hands behind her and said in a low tone. "I don''t want to kill as the rest do, how about you just give up nicely?"
"Give up?!" Ste spat, wiping the dirt off her face. "You might think you have some sort of backing because you possess Sux!"
"Ste..." Lona whispered, hoping to make her see reason as to not engaging in an argument nor provoking Divei.
They would have been dead if the mermaid hadn''t slowed down her movements just for her to pick up on the little effort she made to be spotted.
''That arrow should have killed us if she had acted anything but slower.'' Lona looked down with anger.
"I am sorry about your bow." Divei gave a light bow and hoped they would reconsider her offer.
Not wanting to show her trump card, she wished they would give up and she dered the victor.
In her book, using her ability was much fun with those who could match her standards¨Ca human and an elf are way below what she needed.
Holding the remaining arrows in her palm, she made sure their eyes followed her as she did so.
"Aren''t you curious about what I could have done with this?"

Chapter 75 Trampling On The Weak
Lona shook her head, unwilling to stress the situation more than it already was.
"I give up, I wish to leave." Lona raised her hands in surrender.
It was either they give up and wait till they were called upon once more or they choose to be let go as they were all given one chance after thest batch of harem members left.
Ste hissed in anger, pushing Lona on the shoulder. "How could you give up so easily?! She can''t use her Sux, remember?!"
Thinking they still had a chance because of Divei being just as defenseless as they were if she was restricted on her abilities.
Divei chuckled at the words spilling out from the human, even though she did look innocent and timid, there was still a trump card she wished not to use against them.
''You two aren''t my target, instead, I have my eyes on¨C"
Her gaze locked Alta with murderous intent, then nced over to Sra and then Pesa.
The trio looked distracted as they bickered about some misunderstanding, so her gaze fell on Pesa before it shifted towards Yagami.
''That''s five people that I need to be wary about.'' Divei narrowed her eyes.
They were by far the ones she needed to consider to be serious about.
Alta and Sra felt the murderous intente off from the arena and had their gaze fixated on Divei.
"I hate that feeling of being considered a match!" Alta hissed through the corner of her lips.
Sra nodded her head, understanding where she was driving and to whom she was referring.
Turning her attention away, Divei focused on her opponents once more.
Shaking her head to the suggestion posed by Ste, Lona refused to back down as she prepared to give her thoughts on the issue before them.
"We could get our marks removed, see the outside of these walls, fall in love with other people, and have a family of our own," Ste whispered with a smile.
She needed her friend to see that fighting till death isn''t worth it.
Knowing their limit was best, fighting with fists couldn''t just work out the way they thought it would just because Divei is going easy on them.
Divei tilted her head, ready to wait out their decision before she reacts. A smile spread across her lips as she stood bashful and patient.
"I refuse to be considered weak by my people," Ste vowed, shaking her head and denying having anything to do with leaving.
Clenching her fists, she charged toward Divei.
"Ste, no!!" Lona called out loudly in worry.
Schwp!
Ste froze as she stared at the arrow lodged in her shoulder, "h¨Chow?"
Divei shook her head, looking a bit disheartened that she had to revert to using violence.
"I don''t wish to kill you or I would have aimed for your heart." She exined, breaking off the shaft of the arrow.
With the arrowhead still lodged into Ste, she let out a groan in deep pain the moment Divei kicked her on the very spot.
"Ste, please give the fuck up!" Lona screamed at the top of her lungs.
This was an opportunity she wouldn''t want her friend dying over.
Divei chuckled and looked down at Ste pushing back while on the floor.
"You make me seem like some sort of monster." She scoffed and rolled her eyes. "It''s best we all use the fact I can''t use my Sux as an excuse, instead of all this we are going through, right now."
Ste shook her head, still trying to avoid being caught by Divei.
"Lona Poxe has been disqualified," Kritz announced before she would have a change of heart while she watched Ste being forced to a corner.
Lona watched with wide eyes as she felt her body get paralyzed before being levitated by Hisha.
All watched as he grabbed her by the neck and locked gazes with her. Her blue eyes also glowed until she went limp.
There was a gasp until they realized what Hisha had done.
[1 unmarked]
[Harem: 6248]
Hisha let out a sigh, realizing if any of his harem members chose to quit, they wouldn''t contribute to his total score in the end.
[Does the loss of point bother you, or are you not concerned with their choice not to stay?]
''The strongest one would survive as I had said. I feel nothing for a such puny and insignificant loss.''
[...]
"You may proceed," Hisha called out to everyone to concentrate on the duel below.
Since her mark had been removed, Lona was handed over to Kritz.
Holding her in his arm, he wrapped her in his Sux and continued to watch below.
"Lona!!!" Ste screamed and tried to reach out.
Stomp!
Divei stepped onto Ste and red with an intimidating look. "Where do you think you are going?"
"No... what the heck do you think you are screaming names when you should be more concerned about yourself?"
Ste gritted her teeth and took a handful of dirt below her, hiding the hand behind her.
"You think you''re special?!" She spat.
Shaking her head, Divei smiled and replied. "If I was, I think I would have a special part in our lord''s heart by now."
Hisha chuckled at the subtle mode in which she was using to get to him.
Alta got to her feet, her wings spread and being held back by Sra.
"How dare she?!" Alta hissed with reluctant whispering, ready to fight for the spot she already possessed.
Sra also felt threatened but unlike Alta, she had more control of her anger and emotions. "It''s not worth it!"
Zui''s mouth gaped open at how these two converse. Leaning to the side so she could quietly speak to Sra.
"It didn''t ur to me how you two are on speaking terms, I had thought this was our lord''s doing, but on a closer look, I realized that''s not the case."
Sra shook her head and stifled augh. "It''s best you just say what''s truly on your mind."
Exhaling, Zui nodded. "What in the actual fuck are you doing, holding back Alta?"
"Because I can hold her if I wanted to." Sra wittingly responded.
Pulling Alta to sit, Sra shook her head, "not now, and not here."
"All I have to do is watch the crap being yed before us?" Alta said with spite.
"Yes, we have to," Sra said with a smile.
She remembered the promise Hisha had made to her and was in expectation of its fulfillment after the tournament.
"Please get up and give up, it''s for the best," Divei begged once more, sick of kicking at Ste who had been weakened from the blood loss from her shoulder.
Ste coughed out, rolling and crawling towards the edge of the arena. She had spotted an arrow that had been missed by the mermaid.
''Now''s my chance.'' She thought, forcing herself to get to it without drawing attention to herself.
Divei took careful steps and waited for the bright n of the human.
When following the trails caused by Ste crawling, she immediately understood what her n was and she scoffed at the silly idea.
Walking ahead so she could speed up the process and get back to her seat, she pulled out the arrow from the ground and blew on the silver arrowhead.
"At the least, try to hide your true intentions." Divei clicked her tongue and shook her head at how stupid that little slip was.
''I''m sorry for trampling on the weak, but you left me no choice." She exined and shook her head.
Holding it by the shaft, stepping on Ste once more. Staring at the silver yip glistering from the reflection of the sun.
"It wasn''t meant to be this way though." Divei shook her head and raised it above her head before plummeting it into Ste''s head.
Impaling her from the top of her head and drilling to the ground. Blood sttered onto her face and the rest oozed out of Ste''s head.
Ste''s eyes were wide with shock before her death.

[Points umted during the tournament: 3000]
Getting to her feet and wiping the blood on her dress, Divei cast that very re back at the three she had her eyes on, ''you''re all next.''
Alta''s eyes glowed as she could easily decipher that re, and her hand broke off a bit of the stony-raised flooring done by Kritz for all to sit on.

[Duel: 2]

Hisha let out a sigh, feeling bored and tired of guessing who would win.
[Would you like to see something interesting?]
''That''s even susing from you.'' Hisha dismissed its words, unwilling to follow through with its words.
[You''re no fun, host]
''Where''s the fun if I already know what''s going to happen? I need someone who could show the potential of a yandere, some exhrating kills, and potential!''
HTC disyed loading ellipses as it thought about what its host aimed to achieve.
[You are still thinking about that beautiful Vandrik?]
''Between the two of us, I think you''re more lust filled than I am.''
[For now... I''m grooming you for your lustful experience]
[Aren''t you interested in what I had ryed earlier?]
Hisha furrowed his brows whilst having his eyes glued to the arena and watching threedies being picked at random from the hovering silver cup.
He nearly choked on his saliva at another rare sight. Unlike Emi and Ema twin rarity, this time they were identical triplets who had transparent wings behind them.
Intrigued by their race, he called on their character references.
[You are more interested in them than what I have to say?]
''I will be interested right after you give me what I want.''
[Name: Ensley Cheppi]
[Height: 160cm]
[Race: Fairy]
[Rarity: Triplet¨Colder]
[Name: Ensloy Cheppi]
[Height: 16ocm]
[Race: Fairy]
[Rarity: Triplet¨Cyounger]
[Name: Eny Cheppi]
[Height: 16ocm]
[Race: Fairy]
[Rarity: Triplet¨Cyoungest]
They dressed in simr garbs of nothing but fairy dust covering their nipples and gold coated tree-like panties with their crotch covered in the simr fairy dust.
Long golden locks flowed with a part of their hair braided with flowers.
[How to tell the difference]
''It''s simple, really. Ensley has green eyes, Ensloy has blue eyes and Eny has brown eyes.'' Hishamented his attention on the triplets in awe.
Leaning back in his chair, he crossed one leg over another and had his hands on his armrest. "This should be fun, don''t you think, Kritz?"
Kritz gave a light nod and watched the triplets have a hard time choosing who they would partner with.
"I can''t do it." Eny cried, skeptical about teaming against one of their own.
They were all equal in strength but had been gifted with a special ability none had ever showcased due to theirbined strength.
If one were to team up against the other, they were never too sure about this special ability the other might possess.
"What if elder sister is stronger alone?" Ensloy looked over to the youngest who also looked skeptical¨Cif not afraid of the oue.
Ensley shook her head, "I will give up so you two can win the fight."
Hisha facepalmed at the indecisiveness of the three, he was almost tempted to bark out that they all be disqualified.
[Would you like to know what I wanted to say, now?]
Reluctantly, Hisha let out a sigh and nodded his head.
[Great!]
HTC beamed with joy at finally getting the chance to state its stand.
[With your mark on your harem, it is possible to manually incite them to do your bidding using your charismatic ability. Only if they can aplish it naturally.]
Hisha raised a brow to the offer, ''incite them, huh?''
[Ability: Charisma]
[Target?]
Scanning the three, he chose the oldest to toy with.
[Target: Ensley Cheppi]
''Aggression!'' Hishamanded.
Ensley dropped to her knees, her head lowered as she temporarily lost the movement needed to do so.
Eny and Ensloy rushed to their eldest sister''s side.
"Ensley?" They chorused, cing their hands on her and shaking her to get back to her feet.
At the mention of her name, Ensley grabbed a hold of one of their wrists and did a backflip.
Flipping them over, she maintained her grip on them.
Eny sprained her shoulder de and groaned in pain.
"Ensley, what''s gotten into you?" Ensloy hissed as she kicked off her eldest sister''s grip, rushing towards Eny.
Ensley''s eyes jolted open as she scanned her environment, a faint red glow gleamed in her eyes before it was obscured by the glow in her green eyes.
''It actually worked?'' Hisha took another long look at Ensley and could see an emotion bar above her head.
Above her head, he witnessed her emotion bar fluctuate from an orange to a red as it hit the bar with her ever-constant gaze shifting between the two sisters.
[You incite them and the first thing you do is to tick one off?]
''You never gave rules in the first ce.'' Hisha defended and shrugged.
He was much more concerned about what her rage could aplish, their sentimental talk was getting boring and would lead nowhere.
Without a word, Ensley charged at both of them, materializing a gold w around her hand as she flew with frightening speed towards them.
Pushing Eny away, Ensloy screamed at her sister to get her thoughts together and live.
Eny cried out in fear, wondering what had happened to Ensley and why she was suddenly attacking them.
"Eldest sister, pleasee back to us!" Eny screamed out at the top of her lungs.
Ensloy rushed towards her sister in hopes of getting to her before Ensley did.
Whoosh!
Zooming across, Ensley managed to grab Eny by the neck while lifting her into the air until they had gotten to the designated limit for the tournament.
"Drop her, right now!" Ensloy ordered with brimming rage.
Eny coughed out, "we all knew what we might face the moment we chose to stay..."
Bored of such sentimental talk, Ensley tightened her grip on Eny''s neck. "You are getting on my nerves!"
Struggling to set herself free from the grip, Eny managed to bite her sister''s hand before she could suffer permanent damage to her throat.
Pummeling towards the ground, her wings folded and prevented her from gliding.
Swooping in just in time, Eny grabbed onto her hand before she could pummel to the ground.
Ensley gritted her teeth after watching the save that went against her ns.
"You should have let me be, I would have gotten my bearing one way or another." Eny pulled her hand off and tumbled to the floor.
Hovering above her, Ensloy gritted her teeth, "don''t be foolish! Don''t you see that Ensley isn''t in her right senses? This is too dangerous and I wouldn''t want to see any of you dead."
Ensley dived down as she channeled a ball of gold dust in her palm, spikes protruded all around it as she shot it at Eny.
Fluttering her wings, she made a jump from it and took flight.
Her heart thumping the moment she witnesses what Ensley''s special ability could do.
On the floor to which the gold ball had crashed on sprung spikes that engulfed the surrounding area.
Ensloy flew side by side with Eny, whispering to her and giving the reason they can''t continue with the duel. "Give up now if you want to live! Our sister could carry on the tournament in our stead!"
Eny red at her elder sister, skeptical about going along with the n. She understood that their working together could only mean they had paired up and considering Ensley''s ability, they would be in danger if they were to be in contact with her gold dust.
Holding her by the arm, Ensloy shook her head, "this isn''t the right time or ce to risk our lives."
"Would you stop dodging my attacks? Eny, Ensloy?" Ensley crackled in a burst of manicughter.
Hisha cringed at Ensley''s disy and he couldn''t help but me himself for what he had stirred in her.
"We give up," Ensloy spoke on behalf of the two of them, holding Eny so she wouldn''t go against what they needed for survival.
Looking behind him, Kritz waited for any sign from Hisha to give his verdict on the issue.
''Halt.'' Hishamanded Ensley as he thought about the next step.
[Do you really wish to let go of two beauties?]
''Shut the fuck up! Better alive than dead and I would have one of them by my side.'' Hisha snapped.
With a nod of confirmation, Hisha gave the go-ahead to nullify their marks and ept their reluctance to continue.
Kritz stepped on the high rise and leaned on his leg, a smirk making its way to his lips.
"Ensloy Cheppi and Eny Cheppi have been disqualified," Kritz announced.
They felt their bodies get paralyzed before being levitated by Hisha.
All watched as their necks were held by Hisha and locked gazes with him. Their eyes glowed until they went limp.
Ensley dropped to the ground as her connection with her sisters was severed.
"Eny... Ensloy..." She muttered before cking out.

Chapter 77 You Want This So Bad? ?
[R18]
*****
Laying on the bed, Hisha exhaled and stared at the ceiling. The tournament was the worst and lesspetitive.
''They all either fucking gave up or paired against the wrong person.'' Hisha wiped down his face, shaking his head.
[Look on the bright side, you got more points to think of purchasing anything from the inventory]
HTC cheered, hoping its host would be happy about something.
''Character status.'' Hishamanded.
_____
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1003]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 1000/1000]
[Meretrix: 2]
[Points: 21100]
[Exp: 38]
[Total number of your harem: 6237]
_____
[See, the points are awesome]
Getting to his feet, he paced about, thinking of a n to teach Mich a lesson.
''I can''t let that stupid fishlegs think he could usurp me.''
[Kill him, that''s the best way to get the merfolk''s total allegiance!]
As much as its words were tempting, Hisha shook his head. Going with that would only mean he was the tyrant most of them thought him to be.
[You''re too chicken!]
Hisha scoffed and rolled his eyes. He was going to use his points for one single purpose.
''Tell me, how many points are needed to create a temporary body that could be remotely controlled.''
[What is the difference between that and changing your appearance with the disguise mask?]
''Kritz wouldn''t track me if he still knew about my whereabouts and that body could easily blend in with Mertac.'' Hisha exined to his system.
Rubbing his chin, Hisha narrowed his eyes and thought about him lecturing HTC.
''How the hell am I telling you this? You were meant to be my encyclopedia¨Cmy guide in this world.''
[What good are you, if I tell you all you need to know?]
HTC countered with a devilish emoji.
''Fair point.'' Hisha nodded his head, he was already blending in with the world and so was his thinking.
''How many points are needed to create a temporal body of a mermaid?'' Hisha questioned with a dubious grin.
[Why do you want a mermaid body?]
Hisha let out a chuckle, ''do you need that or the fact I can use my points?''
[...]
Hisha raised a brow at his system contemting what he said.
[Cost of purchase: 10000 points]
[Time limit: 48 hours before the body disintegrates]
''Fuck you, are you trying to rip me off?'' Hisha hissed, punching the wall in frustration.
[Do you want to argue about negotiating or the fact that you would get the body you desire?]
Hisha narrowed his eyes and broke into a peal of bitterughter, pping his hands.
He could instantly tell that HTC was trying to get to him. ''Fine, you win this round.''
Ding!
[Mermaid temporal body purchased]
[umted points: 11000]
[Sux depletion: 1 for every 10 minutes used]
''You''ve got to be kidding me!'' Hisha facepalmed at the unwanted development.
[It would be worth it in the end]
Materializing in front of him was a beautifuldy with her long flowing white hair trailing down her back.
Her blue eyes sparkled as she stared at him with admiration.
At first, Hisha had found it unsettling to stare at her since she was a figment of his imagination¨Ca creation gotten from his inventory.
She was dressed in a transparent mesh dress which left little to the imagination.
Hisha had to cough and take three steps back to feed his eyes on her J-cup perky breasts with its nipples covered by little white shells and as his eyes trailed to her crotch, he could see a starfish barely covered her clean shaved cunt.
Hishabed his hair with his fingers and hissed at his system.
''Tell me why she looks so fucking hot, yet she isn''t real?'' Hisha tore his gaze away from her and exhaled.
[That''s because she was specially created from your desire. You needed something to get Mich¨Cyou got it]
Turning his back against the mermaid, he got a jumpscare when he felt her hands snake its way and rested on his chest.
Pulling away as quickly as possible, he turned around so he could watch her closely.
''Can she speak?'' He wondered as he stared at her in curiosity.
[Why don''t we find out?]
"My lord." Her melodious voice graced his ears and made his stomach churn with regret.
She stirred up emotions he wished he could maintain for his real harem members.
Repeatedly telling himself that she was nothing but a puppet-like body he could use to do his bidding.
[If you think she isn''t as real as a person, how about touching her to confirm?]
Hisha hissed at the offer, knowing he would be swayed if he falls deeper in.
Reluctantly edging closer, he realized she had also willingly moved closer to him.
Grabbing a hold of her breast, he watched with horror-stricken eyes as she moaned to his touch, closing her eyes and enjoying the feel.
Pulling away as though he had been burnt with fire, he stared at her and thought of going with a different approach.
''A name, yes, a name would be a great start.'' He nodded his head.
"Your name is Melody Urmi." He allocated her a name.
A broad smile spread across her lips to the new identity she was given and nodded her head.
Walking closer to him, she swayed her hips and her eyes hooded with desire.
Hisha had expected a disy of exp gained from her actions, but he realized that she couldn''t contribute to his exp and was merely acting on his desire.
''HTC, what''s going on?'' Hisha backed up, confused as to why Melody edged on closer as though she needed something on him.
[There is a bit of an issue, to power her, she would need to feed on your lustful energy]
''My what?!'' Hisha narrowed his eyes on his system.
Cornering Hisha to the wall, she pressed her bust onto him and moaned a little too loudly to stir him on.
''This can''t be happening, you''re not even real!'' Hisha refused to give in, shaking his head and dodging her attempts at kissing him.
[Copting with her is the only way to be in unison with her while remotely controlling your creation]
Hisha red at the user interface, ''what if I had chosen a merman, would this have been the case?''
[Negatory]
''Fuck!'' Hisha gritted his teeth and let out a gasp when he felt her hand grab his erect cock.
"Please let me, my lord." Melody stroked on his length and moaned into his ear.
With each stroke and moan, he was losing his sense of reasoning and groaned at the feel of her stroking him with expert hand movements.
"Melody, are you sure you would need this?" Hisha panted as he looked at her, unsure if he could go along with it.
Melody nodded her head and stroked him faster, "I feed on your desire and I know you want me too."
Pushing her off him, he swept her off her feet and threw her onto the bed.
"You want this so bad?" Hisha said and aligned his cock at her entrance, he wondered what the starfish covering did more than aesthetics.
Nodding her head, she used her legs to pull him closer in, and had the tip spread open her inner lips.
Thrust!
Melody gasped and scratched at his back, using her legs to hold him in ce as she adjusted to his length.
Pulling back a little, he thrust in once more with a loud groan.
His body trembled as he felt her walls clenched on his length, she bucked her hips in hopes he would continue.
Unable to control his lust, he pulled out and thrust balls deep.
~Mmmm!~
Pp!
"Aaah!" Melody widened her legs and panted with each powerful thrust he gave.
Hisha thrust in and out with great speed, intending to feel how far he could go with no inhibitions.
''She needs to feel all of my desire to be in unison with me, and that is definitely what you would get!'' He held her legs and thrust balls deep.
Pp!
Pp!
Pp!
"Yes!!!" Melody cried out in ecstasy until she felt her body jerk and convulse from an iing orgasm.
Pp!
Pp!
[Would you like to nt your seed]
[Yes/No]
''Would she get pregnant within two days?'' Hisha jokes.
[There is no way that is remotely possible for a temporary body created from your desire and aided by inventory]
Hisha nodded his head with a smile. ''There you go, there''s your answer.''
Ding!
With one final thrust, Hisha flooded her womb with his seed and for the first time in his life, he felt a sense of aplishment.
Melody''s body shook from his thrust and clung to him till she rode out her orgasm.

Chapter 78 What Did I Just Do?
''What the heck did I just do?'' Hisha stared at the ceiling in shock and disbelief.
[You fucked your puppet creation]
HTC bluntly replied with a devilish grinning emoji.
Hearing the words from HTC only made it ten times worse, Hisha turned around and stared at the wall in disappointment.
''I fucked...'' closing his eyes and wishing he could turn back time, giving up on his n to punish Mich.
It was a bit shocking that he couldn''t quell his desire for even a female that would disappear in two days.
''It wasn''t entirely my doing, it''s this body.'' He nodded and repeated so he could believe it.
[You do know that wouldn''t change the fact of what had happened?]
Hisha sat up and crouched over and spoke out loud, "let''s focus on the task ahead."
[Let''s? Focus? It''s all your doing host, don''t include me in yourzy attitude]
Hisha frowned at the words but also knew it was pointless arguing when he had wasted time dwelling on what he had done.
Looking to his side, he could see the side of the bed that was void of Melody''s presence after teleporting her some meters away from the grand gate, he had sent her to Mertac to infiltrate, yet he felt a sense of loss at her absence.
''Why do I feel this way?'' Hisha tugged at his chest, perplexed by the pull at his heart.
[Your connection to your creation and the attachment you''ve developed over a short period]
''I need to see if she''s doing alright.'' Hisha requested.
[Visibility turned on]
Peering through Melody''s eyes with the help of a translucent screen that showed both her perspective and an aerial view, he could see her standing in front of the massive metal gate which was shaped in the form of a huge tailfin with spikes protruding from all sides.
[Proceed]
Hemanded Melody, who gave a slight nod to his words in her thoughts and nodded.
She had changed into a slightly conservative dressing which consisted of a white bodycon dress with gold outlines and bubble patterns at her waistline trailing from the side of her bust and down to the high slit on her hips that showed to all that shecked underwear.
Exhaling and taking several steps towards the drawbridge, she raised her head and waited to be noticed by the guard stationed at the gate.
"Over there!" One of the guards called out to hisrades in a loud voice.
Melody looked down, pretending to be as shy as possible.
Jumping down from the high station, one of the guards approached Melody with a spear in hand.
"State your ce and reason for..."
He paused in his speech the moment he locked eyes with Melody''s mesmerizing glowing eyes.
"Let me in, Ie in peace." She timidly replied, putting on a sheepish grin.
[Good girl!]
Melody hid a grin at thepliment from her master, rubbing the side of her shoulders as she awaited the others to join in to question her after the other guard had been bewitched by her beauty and inadvertently her alluring ability.
"Yoda, what''s going on?" Another guard walked up to the enchanted guard, patting him on the shoulder.
"Nothing," Yoda chuckled lightly, a satisfying smile on his lips and eyes in a daze as he stared at Melody without sparing his friend a nce.
Tracing his gaze to Melody, his eyes widened at the beauty in front of them, and his jaw dropped at the alluring sight of this female.
''Oh, you have a stronger mental capacity, huh?!'' Melody observed as he had managed to slightly resist her gaze on him.
She raised the corner of her lips and took steps forward, bypassing Yoda and throwing her hand on the other guard.
She wasn''t going to let him be in the same condition as Yoda and needed a sane
Raising her legs until they had reached his waist, she felt the guard''s hand instinctively hold her by the waist and exhale with a little groan.
[Remember, he''s not your target! Concentrate]
Hisha facepalmed at the disy and could see why he couldn''t resist the advances of his creation.
''Did I just fucking make a sex goddess?'' He pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head.
[On the bright side, you were the first to have a taste of the sex goddess]
HTC snickered and hoped that it could appeal to its host.
''Real soothing, HTC. Real soothing.'' Hisha sarcasticallymented and shook his head once more.
[How about you watch the show, you''re definitely in for a ride]
''I just hope the ride will be a bloody and entertaining one.'' Hisha rolled his eyes and exhaled,ying back on his bed.
[You''ve adapted so well that you desire conflict and blood?]
Scoffing to the words of HTC, he had brought his focus back on the screen but was suddenly interrupted by a knock on his door.
''This must be a joke!!!'' Hisha had wanted to scream out loud at the disturbance.
[You might want to answer that!]
''Do you think I need you to remind me of that? Does it look like I want to?'' Hisha snarled as he stared at HTC''s interactive interface.
[...]
''I thought so too.'' Hisha harrumphed and rolled his eyes, sitting up straight.
Before he would close Melody''s visual interface, he needed to establish and remind her of her priorities.
[Find the blue-haired fish chief called Mich, it''s not hard to miss that pompous and lustful attitude. Once you find him, you know whates next]
Observing Melody''s head nod to hismand, she had been led through the gates by the two guards, with Yoda eagerly apanying her to the fortress of the Merchief.
He had his hand on her waist and had a hungry gaze on her cleavage which jiggled with every move she made as she walked side by side.
Bam!
Hisha punched the headboard and sat up and tried to breathe and control his temper.
"Lord Hisha?" Kritz''s voice could be heard on the other side of the door.
"I''m alright, give me a moment!" Hisha barked and closed his eyes momentarily.
[This is your fault, in my opinion]
''Why, thank you for reminding my horny self!'' Hisha deadpanned with narrow eyes.
[You''re wee, host]
Hisha snarled and knew his system was only trying to mess with him, ''I refuse to be manipted more than I can take.''
[Make sure the only one allowed to get close to you intimately is Mich, turn on visuals once you''ve locked eyes with him]
With a light nod of her head, he could see a wicked grin sh on her lips before she covered it up with a sheepish smile the moment Yoda smiled at her and skipped while showing the way.
Hisha shook his head and could tell the motive of Yoda, after what HTC had told him about the merfolks and how deprived the mermen had been all because of the search for the clear pearl by the blue blood of the Merchiefs.
''I would take what''s yours eventually!'' Hisha grabbed a handful of his bedsheet and had a fiery gaze of determination.
He temporarily closed the interface and got to his feet.
[Visibility turned off]
''This better be worth making me lose sight of Melody for a while and relying on what she hears.'' Hisha bickered to himself, disheartened he couldn''t even speak out his thoughts.
Click!
Pulling the door open, he was quick to dodge a punch lunged at his face.
Whoosh!
Recovering from that decision by his assistant, he furrowed his brows. "I don''t know, by any chance, do you have a death wish or change of heart, perhaps?"
Kritz got to one knee and ced both hands on the raised knee, his head lowered so he wouldn''t lock gaze with Hisha.
"I deeply apologize, Lord Hisha." He began.
''What the heck is wrong with Kritz?'' Hisha raised a brow and waited for a proper exnation.
Before he could see any deadpanned or sarcastic replies from HTC, he yelled in his thoughts, ''don''t even dare answer that and it wasn''t addressed to you anyways.''
[...]
As expected, from the loading ellipses, Hisha had saved himself from a bundle of cringe and facepalms.
"Exin yourself." Hisha''s deep voice boomed as he stared down Kritz.
Kritz trembled and inhaled air.
"I had been having strange feelings that you aren''t my real lord, there is something different.'' Kritz''s eyes searched the floor, unsure of how his words would seem to his lord.
[Well... he isn''t wrong either]
HTC taunted Hisha and spammed with severalughing emojis.
''Would you stop interfering?!'' HTC calmly replied, hoping not to ruin his mood more than it already was.
"Tell me, what was your true motive for testing out that failed punch my way?" Hisha narrowed his glowing eyes.

Chapter 79 Proud Of Who Youve Become
"I... I..." Kritz gritted his teeth as he thought about a usible way of presenting his reason.
Hisha shook his head, eager to get over their discussion and peer into the interface which connects him with Melody.
The fact that Melody could act on her own was a little disturbing and without proper supervision, she was like a ticking time bomb.
''What if she gets intimate with anyone who approaches, all in the name of getting information or killing them offter?'' Hisha''s thoughts spiraled as he stared down at Kritz with anticipation.
Kritz pulled on his white cor and coughed out so he could prepare himself.
"There was a time when I was drunk..."
''You, Kritz, drunk?!'' Hisha was quick to swallow an outburst ofughter.
If this was a memory he remembered that might have also had Hisha''s presence, he needed to thread carefully.
The drunken part was still unbelievable and he waited eagerly to hear the full story.
"We were both drunk actually so it is possible that you couldn''t recall that little encounter, my lord." Kritz dropped the bombshell with a stoic face.
''That''s it! How the heck was I supposed to remember something that wasn''t even present when I came to this world?''
Simply grunting in response to him rting all he had said, Hisha hoped he would speak sanely so he could understand.
"I had apanied you to your chambers when..."
''When?'' Hisha stomped his feet when he witnessed all around him had frozen.
''HTC, you were the one who implemented time maniption!'' Hishained, not too happy about the distraction.
[It had to be done before you reply like your old self]
''Why, I outta...'' He made strangling gestures at HTC''smunication interface.
"I had grown, and I''m proud of what I have made
Calming down his thoughts, he looked on the bright side¨Che had more time to get the information needed on what had transpired between the two and how it was linked to him getting tested with an attack.
Rubbing his jaw, he thought of a better way to get the information out of HTC.
''Do you know what goes around even if it''s a couple of months or years?''
[When did you begin underestimating my capacity?]
''From the moment you ditched being the regr informative system and went slightly lewd.'' Hisha retorted, much to the dissatisfaction of HTC.
[I am not slightly lewd, that is nothing but an understatement. I am a desire system meant to¨C]
''Save it, now tell me what I need to know.'' Hisha interjected, eager to witness what Melody was up to.
Even though he did freeze time around him, that didn''t apply to the countless others outside the citadel or his room.
[Kritz had thrown a punch in a way of testing out his abilities since you two were intoxicated, and failed badly]
Hisha looked over towards a still Kritz and facepalmed, ''so what you''re trying to tell me is if I didn''t react quickly, my identity would have been spotted by him?''
[It would appear your previous stupidity didn''t go unnoticed by the one person who has stuck closely to you like a leech]
Letting out a sigh, Hisha shook his head and could understand the point that Kritz was trying to point out.
Releasing his hold on time, he watched as Kritz gasped for air and was temporarily stunned to notice time had been tampered with.
"My lord, did I say something wrong?" Kritz looked up to Hisha with concern.
"You should be d I hadn''t killed you the first time you tried that while we were intoxicated." Hishaughed it off, offering his hand to pull him up.
Kritz blinked several times and stared at Hisha''s outstretched hand with awe.
Those words could only confirm what he had wanted to find out for a long while, "it is you, Lord Hisha!"
''The one and only fraud at your service.'' Hisha''s brows twitched as he managed to keep his mouth shut at thement made by Kritz.
"Would you just take this?" Hisha clicked his tongue and shook his hand to get his attention.
Taking the gesture, he was pulled to his feet, still skeptical about meeting eye to eye while he stood.
"Do I look scary? Am I that scary?" Hisha challenged.
Kritz shook his head which immediately calmed Hisha but he had other ns while he had paused to get his reaction.
"Your aura is unbelievably frightening, my lord." Kritz coughed out and refused to speak his true thoughts afterward.
[Ouch!]
Hisha red at the translucent screen in front of him but was mistaken for his dissatisfaction with Kritz''s words.
"I apologize for my words, my lord." Kritz lowered his head.
Internally facepalming, Hisha couldn''t believe he had been misunderstood yet again. ''Is it possible you stop popping your user interface if you''re taunting me?''
[...]
"What brings you here?" He turned towards him and forced a smile. pping him at the side.
Kritz grinned from ear to ear at the opportunity given. "It''s news about the Merchief.
"Mm..? Wasn''t he the only one who acted out rashly?" Hisha chuckled and shook his head.
"He had left so quickly after the tournament that I had to send some of our guards to tail him." Kritz smiled with pride, expecting to get amendation before questioning him on what he had found.
Instead of what he had thought would have happened, he was stunned to see a sh of shock cross Hisha''s face.
"You did what?" Hisha hissed with irritation.
Thinking about what would happen if Melody were to meet who Kritz had sent would ruin his n.
"This person sent, is it a male by any chance?" Hisha''s sweat dropped as he hoped for the worst.
Nodding his head, Kritz wondered why he would ask him such a random question all of a sudden.
"Name?" Hisha pried further, hoping to get the details before Melody does something brutal.
Unsure if he should answer, Kritz, furrowed his brows and had a suspicious gaze on his lord.
"Lord Hisha, did you pull some sort of trick again?"
Hisha''s sweat dropped and gulped, "again? How so?"
Kritz grimaced at the response and could easily tell his lord was one step ahead of him.
"I could pull the spy out at the snap of my fingers..."
"It''s for the best." Hisha exhaled with a refreshing smile.
"... if it''ll help with whatever dubious n you have in mind, besides we wouldn''t want to put any of our own in danger." Kritz wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, leaving Hisha stunned.
Shaking his head and a smug look gradually gracing his lips, Hisha grinned and patted Kritz on the shoulder. "Nothing seems to pass by you except you want to be oblivious, am I right?"
Kritz had a grin at Hisha''s words, he could recall when he had caught up with Hisha when he had strangely gotten a disguise.
Not meaning to pry further, he refrained from questioning his lord''s motive.
"This time I am a little curious about your motive and how you were able to do it without going personally." Kritz teased.
Hisha internally facepalmed, wishing for the stone-cold assistant that he had met on the first day he had arrived in the world.
"I can choose to reply and I don''t think it''s necessary to know for the time being." Hisha shook his head.
Kritz''s face fell at the words and nodded his head, there was no way he could argue it out. "I understand, my lord."
Hisha closed one of his eyes and grinned at the new attitude disyed by Kritz, it was fun to mess with someone who was normally unresponsive and cold to the rest.
"All I can say is that Mich would enjoy the special present that I had set up for him." Hisha snickered with mischief.
Kritz had a slight bow and made it obvious that he had nothing more to report and would leave so he could await his call if needed.
Turning to leave, Kritz looked over his shoulder and had a warm smile. "Thank you for bringing this side of you, we¨C I had missed that and I''m sure she would be proud of who you have be."
Hisha had been listening with keen attention to what was being said and was proud he had been able to impact meaningfully into the original host''s life.
The fact that he had almost blended in with the life in Kurg was a miracle and he was grateful.
Thest words came as a shock to him but he had managed to hide his confusion and shock just in time before Kritz noticed.
''Yes, go on.'' Hisha urged, watching him leave.
Click!
Pressing his back against the door, he furrowed his brows at the words ying in his head.
"Who the heck would be proud of who I''ve be?" He hissed and massaged his temple.

Chapter 80 Without A Second Thought
[Dalsa]
Hisha rubbed his chin and tried to recollect the name.
[The garden, the name engraved on a stone by your original host...]
Snapping his fingers, Hisha repeated exactly what was exined to him, but had taken it as his idea.
Putting up a deadpan emoji, HTC left Hisha hanging on a loading ellipsis.
''What?!'' Hisha questioned, confused as to why HTC was giving such a digital deadpanned look at him.
[What were we speaking about?]
''Kritz knows about Dalsa...'' Hisha blindly responded.
''Kritz knows about Dalsa!!!'' Hisha repeated after understanding what he had just said.
Pacing about, he thought of the usible way he could approach Kritz to tactfully hear his side of the story about this mysteriousdy, maybe it could kickstart a bit of his memory recovery needed to get his system to speak.
[Ahem!]
Looking over the translucent screen, Hisha raised a brow.
[Aren''t you forgetting something?]
''Forgetting... forgetting... what did I forget?''
[40:03:45]
With wide eyes, he recalled a certain mermaid.
''Melody!'' He eximed, wondering how he could forget her existence the moment Kritz left.
He also wondered why he had not gotten any word from Melody or her environment for such a long time, maybe if he had, he wouldn''t have forgotten about the task at hand.
[Visibility turned on]
"What the heck is going on?" Hisha blurted out, confused and disturbed.
From Melody''s point of view, he could see was sitting on a floral bed made out of 10 feet wide petals of a blue flower.
The smooth stered walls were designed with blue broken corals spread across to cover all spaces.
It had almost reminded him of the interior decorations he had watched on the television back in his world.
He felt if those innovators could see their inspiration had spurned from such weird times they might have been proud.
[Why did you cut offmunication?]
Melody tilted her head, ''I needed to consent to some services to get the information needed.''
Not feelingfortable about what he had heard, he questioned further. [Could you convince me that you had nothing to do with your body?]
Melody thought about what was said for a while and nodded her head. ''Those who had contact with my fuck hole would certainly die after a week.''
Hisha''s brows twitched, although she had been honest, he couldn''t help but wonder how many had managed to have their way with her.
[Tell me honestly, did you copte with them?]
''No, the bigger goal is yet to be taken.'' Melody replies with a light shake of her head.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Hisha frowned immediately upon realizing it.
[Did you just sigh because your puppet didn''t have a little fun?]
Hisha flinched at the words but brushed them aside.
[What''s going on right now, why are you in there?]
Melody fell back on the bed and had her hands interlocked while she stared at the ceiling.
''I was told to wait, the Merchief would inspect me closely to verify the status I provided to a merman named Hik.''
Creak!
Melody sat up straight as someone had gotten in, she recognized him as the very red-haired that she had been taken to.
Hisha leaned forward and warned her of the dangers that might lurk being in an enclosed space.
"Melody... Urmi?" Hik ryed, his eyestched onto the notepad that he flipped through.
Melody nodded her head and had a smirk on her lips which slowly turned to her biting down on her bottom lips.
"When do I get to see him?" Melody''s melodious voice graced his ears as she attempted to use her ability on him.
[Don''t! Save your Sux, you would need it]
Melody rxed and let out a sigh of disappointment, hoping to test out her skill on this recurring merman.
"You look like you are in close connection with Mership Mich." Melody giggled and twirled her hair around her fingers.
For the first time, Hik raised his head to lock eyes with her, "where did you say you were?"
"I had been in hiding after my parents decided to be fugitives during the great war."
Hik''s eyes widened in shock and took a few steps back, "how... that isn''t¨C"
"Leave us!" A deep voice cut in.
He dropped to one knee and bowed his head in respect, "Mership!"
Melody raised her head and locked eyes with the very person she had wanted to meet.
Mich had his eyebrows knitted in a frown for being disturbed and told about another mating session with one which they thought could be the right female.
Activating the glow in her eyes immediately after eye contact with him.
[That''s a good girl!]
Melody smiled and activated her ability and channeled all she had to get to him.
''Bingo!'' She thought with a satisfying grin.''
Her eyes weretched to his sudden erection, with that reaction, she knew it was only a matter of time before she would have him wrapped around her fingers.
Hik had a hard time exining what Melody had revealed, if she was one of the fugitives that had fled during the war, that would exin why she had been in hiding and a better candidate for the assessment.
"Hik, make sure we have no disturbances."
With a final nod, he walked back and closed the door shut.
As soon as they were finally alone, Mich approached slowly, his eyes glued to her exposed cleavage.
[The fish has been baited, hook, line, and sinker]
Melody could hear Hisha''s voice snicker in her head and tried her best to maintain her timid and quiet demeanor.
Holding her by the chin, he observed her face and had a wicked grin, "tell me, why did you personally request to meet me?
Melody had wanted to take things slow and swiftly change the topic, but his grip on her cheeks tightened.
[Melody!]
Hisha felt distraught by the way Mich manhandled her.
[Rx, he doesn''t suspect a thing, he enjoys being dominant, that''s all]
''That''s still sick for a method as such.'' Hisha shook his head and rxed.
[This is his way of establishing control over the maidens he mates with]
''Excluding Melody.'' Hisha emphasized, feeling his n would work for the betterment of his punishment.
Melody had her lips puckered by his grip and made no effort to struggle, instead pulling open his buttoned shirt and hoping he could get the hint.
Stunned by her bold move, he pulled away and stared at her for a few seconds. "I need my answers, maiden."
Melody inhaled and exhaled as she prepared to give the programmed words in her subconscious.
"I had felt the call of a powerful merman in my dreams and I had heard the tales of your great achievements and concluded that must have been you, my Merchief." She gave a light bow, low enough for him to have another glimpse of her cleavage.
''Great achievements? Did she just input a few of her thoughts in there?'' Hisha scoffed, rolling his eyes.
[It would seem so, as proud and self-absorbed as Mich, he''s bound to get reeled in]
Hisha shook his head, wondering if he could get Mich with his bait.
Melody crawled towards him, holding onto the hem of his robe, stroking his shaft from the outside.
"Let me help you relieve this, I could be the perfect candidate that you need, if not you could do to me how you deem fit." She cajoled.
Mich took some steps back, ufortable with a maiden being so direct and much especially bold in her advances.
"You are very beautiful, but I can''t do that to someone I just met." Mich pulled away and shook his head with a smile.
He began to question his actions as this was an opportunity to test out the process once more while doing the most questionable things with her.
After the tournament, he had felt the loss of Divei and had gone on a mating spree just a few minutes before he had heard from a guard in the presence of a beautiful mermaid who stole the nces and heartbeats of many who had set eyes on her.
Gaining back his daring side, he approached her and pushed her back on the bed. "If you''re so curious about this, how about I test it out and find out if you could be the one I have been searching for."
In his call out in desperation for the right maiden, he epted her offer without as much as a second thought.
[You''ve got him! Now proceed with the next step, he would see what hit him]
Hisha cheered on, staring at the timer disyed before him.
[39:46:34]
Melody''s face flushed red, knowing what she needed to do.
''I will not fail you.'' She assured within her subconscious.

Chapter 81 Whats Taking So Long? °
Slightly R-18]
*****
Gasp!
Melody tried to breathe as she felt his hands wrap around her neck, choking her.
''Why?'' She thought, hoping to get to the bottom of what''s going on.
"My Mership?" She coughed out, trying her best to stay calm amidst the sudden change.
Mich had a crazed look on his face as he tightened his grip even further, "I don''t have a single clue as to why you were searching for me, but there''s one thing I am certain of..."
"You were sent by someone or a group of people." He used.
Melody shook her head, let out a distressed cry and thrashing about to break free.
Her eyes glowed, but Mich having an idea of what to expect closed his eyes andughed maniacally.
"You also have a simr ability like that blue haired girl in the tournament." He spat.
Unable toprehend what was said nor knowing of such events, Melody shook her head profusely.
Thinking of being let off immediately after confessing in a way that sound real, was the only way that she could think of.
But in a situation as hers, there was no need to act, since she had never witnessed any had a vague memory of what the contest was about.
"I have no clue of what you mean, my Merchief. I had been out of Mertac for several years, it''s only natural that I''m clueless." She cried out to be considered.
Watching from Melody''s eyes, Hisha could see her eyes blur with tears.
Getting to his feet, Hisha pushed back his hair, disturbed by what he was witnessing¨Cknowing he couldn''t get there to help without blowing his cover.
Pacing about his room while staring at the screen, he bit down on his nails as a nervous reaction to the situation.
He had watched several women die in front of him due to Alta''s outburst a d the tournament, but never from the perspective of the being in danger as Melody portrayed.
[Be calm, she was created to serve a purpose, it''s only natural she would do a good job]
Hisha red at the interactive user interface, ''how could you ask that of me?!''
Pointing at the other interface that depicted the diminishing visuals from Melody. ''Does that look like it''s under control to you?!''
[Be patient and you shall get what you seek]
HTC calmly responded, knowing its host still had a lot to learn before he hardens his heart to situations just like Melody''s.
All that was needed was faith in the possibility his will is much stronger than reality itself if only he would believe himself.
Keeping this from its host was the only way it could prevent a cmity that would have been made by the previous host once he had learnt about that information before he was ready.
Hisha let out a strainedugh, disturbed that his system wanted him to turn a blind eye to what was ying right before him.
''If I can''t do anything, what''s the probability she could get out of that alive?''
[She could onlyst for less than 39 hours]
HTC deadpanned, reminding him of his priorities and the fact that Melody was nothing but a puppet.
Getting the logic given immediately, Hisha snapped out of his unstable mental state, exhaling. "Just because she''s a puppet doesn''t mean she isn''t considered a living being to me."
[That I do understand, host. Watch and gauge your situation]
Nodding his head, he watched with a grim heart at Melody''s eyes closing and giving little visibility to Mich''s face.
With his wicked grin the only thing visible at the moment, he had expected her life force to be shut down.
[Hang in there!]
Melody had a stray tear trail down her cheek at his words, sniffling and biting down on her bottom lip to stifle an inaudible cry.
Mich had nearly gotten his way, when he suddenly let her go and cackled at how smittened he had be about her.
Cough!
Cough!
"I would ask you only once, who are you working with?" He gave a menacing re and climbed over her, pinning her hands to the bed.
"I don''t understand what you mean, I had fled after my group were killed and the rest scattered and should be long gone by now." She lied, hoping he would buy it if she cries and puts up a great performance.
[You had scaled through, I''m d that you are still okay]
All Hisha could think about was the fact that he still had enough time to n everything.
As long as Melody doesn''t spill anything, there was a better chance of getting out of the mess.
[38:59:03]
Hisha nodded his head and transmitter what she could use if her excuse fell on deaf ears.
Mich studied Melody for a long while, rubbing his chin, he pulled at her top, ripping the material and exposing her bare breasts.
The action caused a gasp to be let out by Melody, shocked by his aggression.
Squirming in his grip to no avail, she knew it was pointless to break free from his grip on her hands forced above her head.
"There are much bigger than I had realised." Mich tantlymented, pleased with the site.
Leaning downwards, he whispered into her ear. "What was that you said about what would be done to you if I don''t get positive results?"
Melody''s breathing was raged and she looked down at the feel of his erection. Although he was as repulsive as he could get for her, she knew that would only strengthen her zeal to go on with this.
Compared to her lord, he was no where close to his size when felt no his tactics.
''You''re doing this for Lord Hisha.'' Sh repeated in her thoughts and forced a convincing moan.
This little muffled sound only boosted his ego and loosened his guard, letting go of her hands so he could grab her breasts.
Fondling on one, he spread open her legs so he could nestle in and jerk at every chance he got without necessarily going in just yet.
[Remember what''s at hand, once you''re done do send your distress call so I could continue with the transmission]
Melody used the opportunity to being jerked forward and getting back to her original position and nodding her head.
Mich kissed down her neck before biting down on her cor bone, gaining him a real moan from Melody.
Unable to watch further, Hisha closed the user interface window, but let the audio y in the background for his hearing.
[Hey! We were just getting to the best part!]
HTC snapped with a spam of warning signs in protest to Hisha''s action.
''I refuse to watch that y out, knowing what task had been given to her.'' Hisha shook his head and went close to the bathroom door.
Slipping off his robe, walking towards the door and pulling it open. Watching the bubbling pool with bubbles burst into steam.
"This should calm my thoughts." He muttered to himself, getting in with a satisfying sigh.
Groaning to the new development, he felt his cock twitch from arousal.
''How is this possible? It isn''t a cold shower.''
[How do you think letting the audio y in the background, y out for you?]
Hisha narrowed his eyes and refused to acknowledge that was why he had spotted a rock hard erection amidst the temperature.
~Ha
~Hmmm
~Fuck you''re tight!
The huffs, grunts and little remarks made almost drove him to a lust crazed zone.
He had his eyes wide opened, refusing to acknowledge his strange development to the events ying in the background.
Gently wrapping his finger around his cock, he gave a stroke at it and could see the water ssh around in front of him.
Closing his eyes, he exhaled and bit down to stifle a groan that had wanted to escape.
[Don''t mind me, you do you]
Hisha groaned as his hands had a mind of its own and stroked once more until the water sshed continuously at his recurrent strokes.
[Fetish: Masturbation]
****
Huff!
Huff!
Hisha chest heaved as he let go of his limp sheath, grabbing a sponge that had been hung on the wall.
[That was some self pleasure you did there...]
HTC teased, pleased his festish experience was increasing.
[Fetish: 4/20]
[It would interest you to know that is your current status for your fetish experience]
Rolling his eyes at the information, he continued to wash himself up while he still had the chance to before he would get her distress call.
"Thank you HTC." He mumbled with a low whisper.
HTC responded with a grinning emoji, uplifted and satisfied with that little disy of appreciation.
[38:03:45]
''What''s taking so long?'' Hisha wondered as he stared at the timer.

Chapter 82 Am I Still Resistible To You?
Stepping out of the bathroom, water trailed down his body and wet the marble flooring on which he stood.
[You should...]
''I''m in no mood to dry up!'' Hisha cut HTC off, slowly making his way toward the door.
Pushing back his wet hair, he felt the rest sleep on his back and had him self-conscious of his naked state.
Looking down at his physique, he let out a sigh, "am I just built to be adored? Why do I feel only a minute of things that interest me?"
All these were questions even HTC couldn''t respond to, knowing this was a simr thought towards life the original host had.
[Look on the bright side, you have a goal, revenge to aplish, and lots ofdies to satisfy you]
Shaking his head, Hisha had a bite on his bottom lip before he would let out a maniacugh.
The loss of thrill was draining him of his joy and zeal to continue. ''I am more than a ruler driven by power and lust!''
[...]
Clicking his tongue, he knew his system would be clueless to the desire of humans, given the fact it wasn''t human nor does he know what he was.
Thinking on that line, he realized his character status had never mentioned a sort of race he was other than the vague immortal.
''HTC, what race am I?''
[An immortal]
HTC deadpanned and put up a confused emoji to the strange question posed by its host.
Hisha shook his head, the information wasn''t right and he knew, he could remember HTC telling him about his unique ability, all other races were confined to their race-varying abilities.
He on the other hand needed to witness to replicate the same ability and gain it permanently, that couldn''t be the ability of an immortal.
His drive for the search for Dalsa only boosted his zeal to scale throughout the days in hope of getting answers.
''Why do I feel you are withholding some truth from me?!'' Hisha narrowed his eyes, suspicious of being led on.
[That isn''t true, host. Until you get your...]
''Nevermind.'' Hisha replied with a sigh and shook his head at how stupid it was to bring up such worries to a thing that couldn''t even grasp the full meaning of passion and curiosity.
Hisha leaned on the door, waiting for yet another round of sexual gratification done by Mich on Melody.
Gritting his teeth at the endless thrusts, moans, and groans from both parties, he stared wide-eyed at his feet.
Punching on the wall, he felt frustrated, waiting for the results but also the fact that Mich wasn''t interested in getting that pearl just yet.
''All he needed to do was one task, what is he doing prolonging this?!''
[Should I consider this as you being jealous?]
Hisha red at the user interface. ''How about you materializing so I could greet you?''
[You would be blinded by how handsome I would be!]
HTC snickered with a grinning emoji.
''I would love to smack that smirking emoji off your handsome face!'' Hisha hissed with a forced smile.
[How about I was a beautifuldy, would you also consummate our union?]
Hisha was startled by the way the conversation was stirring in the wrong direction. ''Eww... Gross, what the hell goes in that thought of yours?!''
[...]
HTC showed a disapproving emoji, displeased by how swift its host was in rejecting the suggestion.
Going out of its way, HTC materialized into a beautifuldy nearly identical to Melody but this time naked as Hisha was.
cing an arm over ''her'' nipples, HTC had a wicked grin and bent over slightly so Hisha could have an ample look at the soft and squishy cleavage that had been pushed upwards with the other arm under the bust.
Hisha stumbled back and tripped on the wet floor, crashing down with a thud.
Hissing and cursing all the while, Hisha had his hand on the floor as a minor injury he had sustained from scraping his elbow began to heal rapidly.
HTC rushed over to inspect but held back when Hisha pushed himself off the floor and jumped back to avoid body contact with the supposed female.
For a second, he had not made sense of the fact that HTC was the mysteriousdy in front of him.
Creating a lot more steam to cover up his crotch, he had his hands in front of him in a defensive stance.
"How did you get in here??" Hisha barked, gritting his teeth to avoid attacking without an exnation.
He was confident he could win but needed answers before he took action.
When those blue eyes stared at him with a mischievous glint, Hisha tilted his head and noticed how simr thisdy was to Melody.
''Could it have been a glitch in my item purchase?'' He thought, considering the possibility of thisdy being a glitched twin of Melody.
''HTC, you better tell me what''s going on, what happened to the inventory?!''
Still having ess to the telepathic mode ofmunication, a smile could be seen on HTC''s face.
[Am I still resistible to you?]
Hisha stared wide eyes at the female who had her eyes locked on him when those words resonated in his thoughts.
To make it more strange was the fact that there was no user interface this time, but rather the face smirking back at him.
"HTC?" Hisha questioned with his mouth gaped open.
"In the flesh," HTC replied, releasing the hold on ''her'' breasts, gesturing around her voluptuous physique. "But seriously, in the flesh!"
Hisha stood dumbfounded, before getting his bearings and making his way toward HTC.
HTC waited, wondering what its host n was, now that it had seen its seductive representation of what it could do.
cing a hand on HTC''s shoulder, Hisha examined the face, poking at the cheeks. "It looks... so real."
A blush made its way onto HTC''s cheeks, taking thepliment as praiseworthy to be idolized since it came from its host.
Tailing the fingers down the heck, Hisha examined and found the fair skin intriguing. "Interesting."
Not understanding what its host had in store for it, HTC shone a big smile, satisfied it could make false Hisha''s im of being disgusted if it ever took on the form of a female.
Having had enough of staring at the neck, Hisha had a wicked grin, grabbing HTC by the neck.
"You don''t know how long I have always wanted this!" He snickered in mischief, making sure to choke, yet also gently making sure not to snuff out all the air or snap HTC''s neck.
Self-absorbed in his actions, he was disappointed the moment he felt nothing by steam, and the materialization created by HTC was gone.
[How could you choke ady?]
Adjusting his posture, Hisha let out a satisfying breath of relief. Because HTC resolved to make him break his notion, he had gotten the chance to choke his system even though he did it a little too lightly.
''You are and will never be a woman in my eyes, you''re as horny¨Cif not more than I am.'' Hisha deadpanned.
[You were stunned by my beauty that you went crashing the other way!]
HTC tried to pick on the loopholes, hopeful its host would own up to his wrong notions.
''That''s basically because you copied something that I had created with your help.'' Hisha scoffed and folded his arms.
''Be thankful I didn''t kill you when you materialized in front of me.'' Hisha added on a final note, ignoring HTC''s bicker in disbelief.
Requesting the window to be disyed in front of him to face the sounds that had continued once HTC had calmed.
~Huff!
~Huff!
~Pp!
~Mmm... aaaaa!
He watched with wide eyes, how Melody was on all fours, getting pounded from behind, and had her tongue sticking out in ecstasy.
The very face that he had watched her portray while he was over her a few hours ago.
[Someone''s having fun]
[38:09:00]
HTC teased and snickered, hoping Hishaes to terms with what he had created and the true n at hand.
Closing his eyes, Hisha looked away and closed it up.
"She sure is." He exhaled and spoke out in a whisper.
[Be d, at the least you had your fair share of her body]
''Could you materialize into the beautiful Melody lookalike?'' Hisha wiggled his brows, his hand on the door handle.
Hisha could hear a hiss in protest from HTC, "haha! Thought so too.''
Opening the door, he smiled at his behavior and calmly repeated to himself that he was working himself up for someone that would vanish from their reality in a matter of hours.
''Your time is limited Mich, we''d see who has thestugh!'' He had a wicked grin as he stepped out of his bathroom.
Beep!
Beep!
[Melody''s distress call]

Chapter 83 Melodys Decision
Witnessing a white pearl get picked from Melody''s folds, he cringed at the sight and could see Michugh hysterically.
"Finally! I have the¨C"
Snatching the pearl from his hand, Melody took a defensive stance and had a hard time catching her breath after the rigorous activity she went under.
"What do you think you''re doing?!" Mich barked and slowly advanced in on her.
Making her way toward the wall, she hid the pearl in her hand behind her.
[That''s it, this is what we need!]
Creating a portal, Hisha collected the pearl secretly.
Melody took two steps forward, refusing to get into the portal after giving the pearl.
[What the hell are you thinking?!] Hisha panicked, realizing he couldn''t save her the moment she disconnected his ess to her eyes.
Dropping the pearl to the ground, Hisha punched at the wall¨Cmaking a dent and boiling with rage at being shut out.
''How could this freaking happen?!'' Hisha screamed at his system, disturbed his creation was taking a risk he hadn''t nned.
The n was simple, he had created the perfect mermaid and knew the one desire of the Merchief after deducing why Frich had requested a part of his harem even though they had enough females.
After thest fight, he had witnessed Mich having a long face as he watched Divei fighting in the arena. It was at that moment he knew she was the one Frich was after and so was Mich, it was only a matter of time before he wouldy down his attack on his citadel.
All they needed was to see what sort of hidden powery in the pearl and how he could get ess to it if it meant using Diveiter on.
Now, having his n run downhill, he couldn''t take the guilt he felt for leading Melody into the shark''s mouth.
[Melody, back down! That''s amand from your lord!] His eyes glowed with hurtful rage and betrayal.
Pointing downwards and staring at the door as though he could still visualize the interactive screen.
HTC feared for its host''s health and mental stability after this due to their shared connection.
''I''m sorry, my lord. I have to do this.'' Melody momentarily closed her eyes with a stray tear running down her cheeks, then a sad smile was made.
[Melody, no!] Hisha yelled, distraught that he couldn''t visualize what was going on, and in no way of any help to her situation due to his identity beingpromised.
''HTC give me ess to aerial view!'' Hisha stormed, triggered by the thought of what could have happened.
[ess denied]
''You''ve got to be fucking kidding me!!!!" Hisha''s brows twitched, and he took a jade vase, smashing it to the ground.
Hyperventting, he red at HTC''s screen and the loading ellipses only made him wish HTC could maintain its materialization, especially that of a male so he could take out his anger on something without causing necessary damage.
''How can you tell me I have no ess? We freaking copted because of the stupid rules!!! Yet you show me this?!'' He fumed, feeling a tug at his chest andck of air.
Having only ess to the audio, he could hear Mich''s menacing voice overshadowing Melody''s whimpering.
''What''s... going... on?''
Then came choking sounds and gasps of air from Melody.
"Noooo!" Hisha yelled out, reaching out to nothing in particr and dropping to his knees from temporal exhaustion.
When HTC had said they were connected, he had not envisaged something this drastic and could partly feel what she was experiencing since her body senses were heightened after shutting ess to her eyes.
~How dare youe between my goal?!~ Mich snapped as he tightened his grip on her neck.
Hisha could only imagine Melody''s struggle to get free.
Looking at the timer, he was in a state of worry that she still had over a day before she would vanish, this was enough for Mich to do as he pleased with Melody.
~Who sent you?! Where the hell is my pearl?!!~ He hissed in her ears in a blind rage.
Getting Mich in just the right ce she needed him, Melody activated the glow in her eyes and managed to override Mich''s will for a while.
Wasting no time to carry out thest n she had personally thought of that could be of help and more effective than Hisha''s ns, she towered over Mich.
"You will have another goal, one you didn''t expect!" She snarled and activated a fraction of her ultimate ability on him.
Mich groaned in pain as his cock darkened with blue veins popping and trailing down to its cap.
"Nnnggg... aaahh!!"
Crouching from pain, Mich called out for the guards who were stationed far out and away from the door as per his request.
Time and again, he continued his yelling and groaning in pain.
A sh of Hik''s warning shed through his thoughts and realized how wrong he was to trust in his ability to do much that he had forgotten what it was to experience a threat other than the overlord.
"Ahhhhh!!!" He let out a blood-curdling yell which rang out throughout the building.
Melody stumbled back at the trembling under her feet and fell on her buttocks.
''I did it, you got your revenge, my lord!'' Melody coughed out, feeling her vision blur.
[Melody pleasee back to me, you still have some time left, you can''t spend it there,e back to me, please!]
HTC watched its host battle with his desire to make an appearance and personally save her.
Even though it was just a portal away, it was also stupid to risk making Mich aware that Hisha was behind the whole n.
Melody was still nothing but a puppet that was bound to disappear just as fast as she had appeared in his life.
They had not intended to kill him just yet as he had some connection to Yoru and needed him as bait.
Without Melody''s willingness to return, there was no way of getting her out of there.
[Host, don''t feel this way, she''s...]
"I know! I fucking know about that!" Hisha spat in fury, he couldn''t care less if anyone could hear him outside since he chose to ditch conversing telepathically
It was hard enough to let someone he had made a connection with sleep with someone else, but risking her life was another when he could help her get out of there.
Hearing this, Hisha realized Melody had chosen to stay behind because she knew of the time limit to her short period.
Taking the risk at the cost of her life, Melody pulled on the silk blue curtains and wrapped them around herself, and forced herself to get to her feet.
With a smile on her face, she opened out her arms as she could see guards break their way in.
[Melody, you still have a chance, don''t!]
Hisha could hear the sounds of footsteps and could already guess what was happening, she was getting surrounded and would notst too long after losing a bit of her Sux like that.
Melody chose not to respond and shook her head at an oblivious Hisha. Making up her mind to bring down a few guards and cause a bit of chaos before her demise.
Observing some guards surrounding Mich, wrap around his waist a piece of the bedsheet.
Helping him up, they turned to leave for help from the healer but when Mich stopped them and looked over his shoulder.
"Seize her, any method possible!" Hemanded with spite, nodding his head to the guards to take him as they had nned.
[Audio ess denied]
Hisha stared at the screen in shock and could tell what Melody was nning, unlike other times he had wished to get her back, he had a hystericugh and shook his head.
''She isn''t returning, am I right?'' Hisha looked down sadly at the interface, disappointed that he had created a puppet that had broken his hold at thest moment just to fulfill his wish more than he had intended it to go.
[That is correct]
Beckoning the guards toe at her, she knew they were at first hesitant when they observed she had mated with their Merchief.
Underneath the cloth wrapped around her, she was naked and must have been powerful to have caused such damage to their leader.
Her hair flew wildly around her with her eyes glowing whichter spread around her body, disintegrating the cloth wrapped around her.
"I''d like to see how well you can fare against me!" She winked at one of the guards.
Earning him a re from all the other guards who felt jealous of the attention given.
''She ns on doing something silly.'' Hisha let out a sigh and shook his head, considering she might be preparing for herst stance to gain a much higher ground just for his goal.

Chapter 84 Focus On The Task And Do It Right
The other guards felt the push from the swirling wind below her legs that swept them off their feet and had them crash to the ground, secondster their eyes glowed the moment they brought their attention back to her, and were instantly mesmerized by the blinding light.
Like moths drawn to the light, they were drawn to her and were killed instantly upon touching her.
Deactivating once she had lost all strength in her, she thought with a sad smile, ''I did it. Thank you for creating me...''
Falling to her side with a loud thud, her vision clouded with dark corners and she could see sparkles of blue light surrounding her.
Bringing her hand up, she watched with a sad smile upon witnessing her hands disintegrating.
Hisha let out an unintentional gasp, feeling something off.
''HTC, why do I feel...''
[Connection lost]
Staring at the screen with wide eyes, he shook his head in disbelief. ''They wouldn''t have.''
[00:00:00]
A glow from the pearl made him lose focus and pick it up.
''Thank you for creating me.'' Those words rang in his thoughts whilst looking at the clear pearl.
"Melody!" He muttered with teary eyes, clenching his fist around it.
He knew that she was merely a puppet of his creation that was given the ability to think on her own, but the little time they had spent was meaningful and had grown on him.
''HTC, do you think I''m like this because we shared a connection, something simr to that of Alta?'' He sulked, observing the pearl with rekindled interest.
[It would appear so, but it was bound to end. Her sacrifices weren''t in vain]
Raising the pearl in the air, hemented once more. ''It wasn''t in vain!''
''I hope he enjoys the little gift that was given to him!'' Hisha sneered at the thought of Mich.
*****
At the healer''s residence,
"Mership Mich!" A female''s voice eximed with worry.
A guard whispered the situation to the healer and stepped back to give her ess to what needed to be done.
A woman looked like she was in her old age which was a contrast to those of the merfolks who stayed young their entire life after adulthood.
The woman donned white hair which was styled in a high ponytail and in loops that were formed by pulling back strands of hair on either side of the head and fastening them at the back by a green leaf-like hair band.
She wore a white coat over her flowing green dress and had a pearl wristband with slight ws on all, worn on both hands.
These were sent to her in an attempt to see if they could be purified by her.
Pulling off her coat, shemanded the guards to put him inside a pool of water.
Once they had let him in, they watched the two, eager for her to continue with the treatment they had little ess to witnessing after so long.
"Out!" She ordered the guards and frowned at their hesitation.
Mich forced his eyes open, frail from the ordeal. He grimaced as another wave of pain rocked his body and he couldn''t help but yell immediately after he gathered enough strength.
"Get the fuck out! Bring her to me!"
Cough!
Cough!
Getting the message, the guards scurried off in fear and sealed the healer''s hut with a water barrier.
"Haha!" The healer cackled at the pathetic attempt at forcing her into submission. "This is my hut, what makes them think they canpare to a seemingly olddy?"
Looking down at Mich who had tried so hard to maintain hisposure was a pleasing sight to take in.
"Feeling a little under the weather?" She teased with a smirk.
"Help me..." Mich voiced and reached out but had his hand drop immediately at the slight inconvenience.
"Now youe to me after over 70 years!" She sneered and scrunched her nose, folding her arms and looking away.
A grin made its way to her lips when she could see how pathetic Mich was, "still trying your luck with maidens I see, how''s that holding up for that thing down there?"
There was no response from Mich but a wicked glint at her chatty behavior irked him.
He was still wrapped in the cloth that the guards had helped him with so she still couldn''t determine the problem until she got a view of it.
Raising her hands in defense, "fine! It''s not like I should care about that anyways, I wouldn''t be bothered about my pearl being removed and the curse overwhelming me and changing my appearance to look like some old granny!"
Mich looked away, slightly guilty about what his grandfather had done to the healer¨Chis former lover.
She was once a very beautiful mermaid who was adored by all mermen for her proficiency at healing, skill, and most importantly her beauty.
Getting the attention of the Merchief at the time, Mich was originally a young adult at the time and maintained the appearance down till their time.
"I... I was foolish not to stand up for you at the time, Kenna." He muttered to the best of his ability and felt another pain shoot up at his disregard.
Kenna scoffed, "you''re darn right! Now I have to live with this body while you''ve got a great body!"
Mich exhaled and felt attacked by her sarcastic words but muttered an apology, "I am sorry."
"Well not enough, and don''t worry what gues you won''t kill you!" She snapped and dipped her hand into the water, feeling his crotch, and heard a loud hiss from Mich.
"It''s quite sad that they never knew the full extent of the power up until now and you''re so unlucky!" She cackled, enjoying every bit of his pain.
Mich was sick and tired of her bitter words and that had been a major reason he had chosen not to see her.
Trying his best to get out of the way, he was forced down by the current of the water controlled by Kenna.
"Now who said I was done with you?!" She spat and eased her voice which had been reced by worry.
"Don''t... give... me that look, I don''t.. deserve it." Mich panted in between words.
The water glowed and for a few seconds, Mich was puzzled as to how soothing it felt almost immediately.
"This is a strange ability for a mermaid..." She observed with an eerie tone and pulled away the cloth, jumping back in surprise at what she saw under the water.
"Oh my!" She eximed and slowly made her way back to examine his cock.
The blue veins that were glowing throbbed and she could feel its pulse from the water''s movements. Shaking her head, she lost confidence in her ability to curb the situation.
As the onlypetent healer in all of Mertac, it would be devastating if she was shocked to the point she couldn''t do something.
"What sort of hole did you stick it in?!" She eximed in a moment of shock and disgust.
Closing his eyes to calm himself, he ignored Kenna''s distraught look and exhaled before he spoke.
"There... must b... be... something!" Mich tried to sit straight but failed, falling back into the water with a ssh.
"Would you calm your fins?!" Kenna spoke in spite, distraught by her inability topletely ease the situation.
"I can heal a majority of the problem, but the procedure might leave you paralyzed for months or you might scale through it but you would have to refrain from anything rted to mating for the same duration." Kenna hyperventted, scared about the consequences and what that would mean for their tribe.
Mich gave it a thought, silent about her opinion but also hopeful for the best oue.
With a nod, he gave his final approval.
Outside the hut, some guards kept guard outside and got a jumpscare from the loud blood-curdling screaming from inside.
One of the guards had wanted to rush in without thinking but was held back by the other.
"Don''t!" He warned with a shake of his head.
ring at the hand which had held him back, he snarled. "Back off!"
Releasing his grip, the other guard clicked his tongue, "go in there and risk losing your Sux."
Shrugging, he smirked and calmed as he watched the other have doubts about his ns to go through with it.
"Mership Mich..."
"... Is in good hands." The other guardpleted.
"If you''d like to know the true ability of the healer, be my guest." He hissed and turned a blind eye to what he nned on doing.
Rxing his tense muscles, he whispered through the corner of his lips, "how do you think the others are faring with that mysterious mermaid?"
"They will soon arrive. All we have to do is focus on our one task and do it right."

Chapter 85 They Want My Help?
Making coded knocks on the metal walls of her hut, Kenna waited to be let out by the guards that were stationed to wait for her.
Acting on her request, the barrier was temporarily lifted allowing her ess to step out.
"Mership needs some rest," she looked back at the hut before she continued. "Could you take me to where the maiden was?"
They had nodded and were about to alert the others stationed at strategic locations spread across her vicinity to lead the way.
Cutting short their destination came rushing in a guard horror-stricken and out of breath.
Furrowing her brows, she looked to the others for an exnation.
"We''ve lost her!" He informed, crouching and trying to catch his breath.
"How do you lose someone who was cornered by more than 10 of our mermen?!" The chief guard barked, enraged by the news.
The mermaids had never been one who could show such prowess against their counterparts¨Cexcluding a chosen few like Kenna in her prime years and Divei who they had lost to the overlord.
"It''s not only that!" The guard quaked with fear, dropping to his knees, and couldn''t process what had gone wrong. "They are all dead!"
Kenna covered her mouth with the back of her palm and shared a shocked nce with the other guards.
"Alert the rest! We have an issue that needs to be treated with caution!" The chief guardmanded in a loud voice, making the rest turn in his direction.
Kenna walked back into the hut to have a look at Mich.
Circling him, he was still lying inside the water with it being so calm she could see her reflection.
"What trouble did you meet, Mich?!" She whispered with worry, going to her knees and making her hand hover an inch above the water.
''Turbulent timesy ahead for us all!'' She thought with a grim reminder of some little secret she had caught a wave of centuries ago.
*****
In Hisha''s room,
Knock!
Knock!
Groaning in displeasure at the disturbance, he chose to be oblivious about what he had heard and climbed onto his bed.
Creak!
''Ohe on!!'' He grimaced and winced at the sound his bed made the moment he ced his elbow.
"My lord." Kritz''s voice boomed on the other end.
After that was followed by more knocks.
''Does he not have some sort of hobby? A ce to be in, probably?'' Hisha hissed in his thoughts.
[If he did, would he be by your side so readily?]
Hisha narrowed his eyes at the response, feeling attacked by the words.
Knock!
Knock!
Raising his head, he made a wave of his hand, opening his door.
Kritz dusted his dress coat and straightened the creases. Clearing his throat, he gave a bow and had his usual stoic appearance.
Giving a nod of approval, Kritz stepped into the room and had his hand behind him. "My lord..."
He was taken aback by the smashed jade vase with numerous shards of it scattered all over the floor.
Looking over to his left, he witnessed a dent in the wall and couldn''t imagine what had been so drastic that had made his lord make such an outburst.
Almost tempted to question why he was in his room, Hisha bit down on his bottom lip and waited for Kritz to do the honors of exining himself.
''There must be something important that would require his presence.'' Hisha calcted his thoughts.
"We have word that chaotic events had struck Mertac." He informed.
If Hisha wasn''t observant, he wouldn''t have noticed a glint of mischief and suspicion in those eyes staring back at him.
Raising his chin, Hisha made his way toward the edge of the bed and ced his leg on the floor.
Kritz snapped his fingers and a pair of wool slide-ons materialized in front of Hisha''s legs.
''Nice, and effective.'' Hisha thought with an approving smile.
"Why were you the one who chose to personally tell me this?"
Kritz took two steps forward and had a knowing smirk on his lips. "It was said that Mich was caught in the crossfire."
''Isn''t it funny Kritz treats these tribal chiefs like insects as I do?''
[They are lower in race rankings than he is at his full potential]
''Pompous bastard! I like it, very befitting of my right-hand man!''
Hisha pretended to be in a state of shock and disbelief. "That''s so unfortunate, who was hurt?"
Kritz had almost burst into a chuckle at his lord''s mannerism, he was quick to ce what had transpired¨Calthough unaware of what tactic was used, he very well knew this was the reason his lord had made him withdraw his spy ced in Mertac.
"It was said that several guards were killed and Mich is to be left undisturbed¨CI would deduce he had gotten the impact a lot worse than those who were still alive to tell the tale."
Hisha was temporarily distracted by the thought of how Melody had caused destructive damage before her demise.
"My lord?" Kritz cleared his throat to get his attention.
"What''s the estimate of those who have ess to this information?" Hisha queried.
"Only a select few know about this in Mertac and the guards present in his fortress had been made to swear not to let the word out or risk losing the one thing they hold so dear¨Ca chance at mating."
''What a foolish thing to put their silence for. There I was with over 20 years and a virgin at the time.'' Hisha deadpanned in his thoughts.
[You speak on 20+ years, do not mistake those minute years with mermen who have been forced into celibacy until the designated time for over a century]
Hisha ate his words, disturbed by the revtion but also nodding to Kritz report.
"If that is the case, why did they report this to me? They could as well take matters in their ''fins'' if they could keep their crises a secret from all other tribes." Hisha shrugged and got to his feet.
Kritz finally had a smile that curved upwards at the right side of his face before he spoke, "they requested your help in seeing to what could have set off such disaster at such a peaceful period in their tribe."
''How about my desire to teach that pompous tribal chief that I''m not someone to be messed with?'' Hisha had wanted to ask but knew how suspicious that would sound to Kritz.
"What are the clues?" He asked, hoping Kritz would forget all about what he had said while they had conversed a few hours ago.
"A mysterious mermaid had appeared and was the one who had dealt the damage on the guards and had intentionally spared Mich''s life¨Cbarely."
''Melody!'' Hisha immediately identified who he was talking about.
He had been able to witness, listen and feel the events unfold before her demise. Now that he thought about it, she was trying to shield him from the connection they both shared so he wouldn''t be left broken after her sacrifice.
"You know who it is." Kritz bluntly cut in, temporarily forgetting to use the necessary honorifics and tone to his lord.
Hisha raised a brow, slightly triggered by his speech and this little gesture forcing Kritz into submission.
"I apologize, my lord." He gave a slight bow, not giving up on his ims; he continued.
"You know who that maiden was, my lord." He maintained a low stare at the floor.
[You''ve been found out, it''s not such a big deal]
''Oh it isn''t?'' Hisha retorted, wishing he could roll his eyes.
p!
p!
p!
Hisha stopped and smiled with an obvious grin. "There must be a way to determine those who use their ability of deduction effectively."
Kritz slowly rose his head, hopeful about the oue of his subtle usation.
"They had tried to ambush me in the woods, it''s only fair I give them a gift in good favor," Hisha replied with a smirk.
Kritz stared at Hisha in awe and admiration for such a decision. He had never liked the merfolk because their slightly higher prejudice rained on him the moment he had sought help from them as a little boy.
"We should have killed him while we had the chance!" Kritz hissed in regret, punching his palm.
"What benefit would you have derived? Would you have caught the true mastermind behind all of this?" Hisha shook his head and flexed his fingers.
Kritz was left dumbfounded and clueless about the question.
Pulling off his robe, he was left in his ck batwing, shirring baggy pants and bare chest like the majority of the times he makes an appearance.
"They said they need my help, right?" Hisha cackled in maniacalughter, walking towards the door. "I''d like to see how I can help."

Chapter 86 Lurking Danger
Kritz took a step back, skeptical about his lord''s n.
"Let''s take a trip to Mertac!" He cackled, walking with his shoulders raised, happy about the new development.
If this was his way of witnessing the level of damage created by Melody without making it obvious that he had a role in all of that, he was surely going to take pride in his visit.
[Aren''t you a little too joyful to be going to a y that had been inflicted with a tough blow?]
Making a stop in the hallway, Hisha''s big grin deted and his enthusiasm withered as he thought about how he could make sure he looked empathetic.
Turning around, he made sure to question Kritz on his appearance. "How do I look?"
Kritz blinked a few times, unsure about what he wanted, and could only take a nce at his chiseled features.
"You look like a work crafted by the celestials." He replied in a monotonous voice with a poker face.
Hisha''s mood dropped at the robotic response. ''Even HTC doesn''t sound that way!''
[I am as human as you all could ever be]
''Don''t forget lustful even though you would never experience it.'' Hisha retorted.
[@#&!!*]
''I would take that as your way of talking trash at me, yet I''m d I don''t understand the trash youid out!''
"Is that all you see?" Hisha pried further, hoping he would get his expression as the main feature.
Kritz tilted his head and had his eyes trail down to Hisha''s crotch.
Shaking off the thought, he stumbled and tried to get his footing.
Unaware of what had gone through the mind of Kritz, he approached to help him gain bnce.
"Are you alright?"
Kritz got to his knees and made a bow and began profusely apologizing about his mistake.
Hisha cringed and cleared his throat to clear up the tension. "Never mind what I asked, let''s get going."
*****
In Mertac,
Staring at the huge gate, it all brought back memories of his connection with Melody, how he had watched all of this through her lenses.
''It looks more magnificent than the view from her eyes!'' He eximed, mesmerized by how parts of the metal fin glistened in the moonlight.
[The time difference also ys another factor as to why it looks different]
Unlike during the daytime, the whole territory was sealed with a barrier of water which gave off a cooling and soothing aura as he walked through the quiet and lonely streets while he and Kritz were escorted by guards on each side.
''This is a little too quiet than that of Straton, not open to strangers?'' Hisha inquired, confused as to why all the windows were closed a few seconds before their horses got near the buildings.
[Unlike the citizens of Straton which has a variety of races settling, this is a restrictive setting that depends on the tribal chiefs. There is an unidentified lurking danger they are fed to believe]
''You''re sure it isn''t about me?/Why would they believe in such a¨C''
m!
Hisha narrowed his eyes, disturbed by the continuous ms of windows or doors upon their approach while passing by on their horses.
Tousling the mane of Twet, he calmed him down before ring at one of the guards.
''Who is the chief guard?'' He questioned HTC, thinking it possible that his previous host must have known all this information before his appearance.
Calling on a character reference on the said person was also needed.
_____
[Name: Gran Mon]
[Height: 183cm]
[Position: Chief guard]
[Race: Merfolk]
_____
Spotting the right person, he called on his attention. "It would be appreciated if they reduce the intensity of mming, are they trying to scare my precious horse!"
Gran looked to his side and at Hisha, giving a low bow. "I am sorry, my lord. It will be done."
Immediately afterward, he switched his attention to the other guards andmanded them to implement his words strictly.
Riding ahead, the guards maintained peace and tranquility as they moved on.
Although this wasn''t exactly what he had wanted to be done, he was d there had been some quiet at the least.
Twet strutted with much pride, having understood its importance to its master and viewed by others.
Kritz had a faint smile at the outburst by Hisha, it did look fun to finally see his lord make a scene for little things and be more concerned about his horse.
''If you think you would have a smooth entry, then you must be mistaken!'' An unknown person was hiding among the thirty mermen escorts.
Hisha looked to his right at the exact mention and felt a sinister aura directed at him.
To his disappointment, the aura dissipated the moment he nced around.
''Did you feel that?'' He inquired of HTC, hoping he had just felt wrong.
[It must be your thoughts messing with you]
HTC shut the thought out.
Exhaling, he gave a light nod, ''if I get killed and die, you die too.''
[You''re immortal stupid]
"Right this way, my lord." Gran exined and made a clicking sound for his horse.
Boom!
Hisha was thrown off his horse due to the impact of arge boulder thrown to the floor from an unknown source.
Twet neighed and stomped on the ground, rushing over to check its master''s state.
Punching on the floor, Hisha spat out some sand and wiped down his face.
Kritz got to his feet and created a temporary barrier to contain the horses that might try to run away amidst the chaos.
"My lord, are you¨C"
Kritz was left dumbfounded by the speed of Hisha as he levitated and scanned his environment.
Taking shelter in one of the stalls, Kritz watched as the other guards did the same, secretly observing what was to unfold.
They all knew that level of impact couldn''t be achieved by normal means, nor could they identify the perpetrator.
A cloud of smoke engulfed the surrounding area and there were screams heard from the merfolks who had been indignant at first.
Their vision was getting altered, this prompted Kritz to activate the glow in his eyes.
"Show yourself!" Hisha''s voice boomed in rage as the dust settled.
He had merely wanted to witness all that had transpired, not get into a duel.
When the sound of chains could be heard at a closer range, Hisha dropped to the ground and mmed his palms on the floor.
Shaking from the impact, the cloud of dust increased up until Hisha made a vertical sh with his palm, causing a huge gust of wind to split the cloud and precisely hit something hidden by the dust.
Splk!
The intense force made by the wind sliced a fraction of the object.
Afterward, there was silence as everyone took a moment to digest what they had just witnessed.
When the dust gradually settled, they were all mortified by the sight of a male bound by chains and had pale-looking skin and white hair.
A part of the head had been sliced off from the deadly sh from Hisha.
Green veins branched all over the corpse like awork of stems and converged to both eyes which had been gouged out.
Blood trailed down his face like dramatic tears.
The guards all went down on their knees and made a bow¨Cface down, pleading with Hisha toe to their rescue and solve yet another lurking danger at hand.
This wouldn''t be the first time it had happened and it had all begun during the full moon like the one which shone down on them.
Their tribal chief had always managed to fend off these unknown phenomena but after his unprecedented attack, all hell broke loose.
This had been the major reason the merfolk had been so scared toe out, not because of the presence of the overlord, but rather the fear of the lurking danger that HTC had spoken of.
''What the hell is going on?'' Hisha questioned, sickened by the sight but also managing to stomach the ordeal without making a disgusted face.
"We meet again, Vandrik." A sinister voice echoed all around them.
Hidden in the shadows was a figure, one that Kritz knew too well with a grin that was selectively shown by manipting the light refraction.
"You!" He snarled and had his fingers and teeth barred, ready to attack after being triggered by the previous encounter.
Stunned by the words, Hisha looked behind him and had his brows furrowed in confusion.
"Kritz, you know that thing?!" He inquired, confused as to when he had seen it.
HTC had given no said clue as to what they were facing and was most certainly a new problem he would be facing for the first time in real-time.
Giving a nod to the question, Kritz''s lust for a kill grew with each passing second just by maintaining eye contact with the grinning shadow.
[Warning: Blood lust]

Chapter 87 Need A Hand?
''Again?!'' Hisha was internally facepalming, disturbed by how easy it was to trigger Kritz in such life-changing or threatening situations.
Making up his mind to have personal training with Kritz, he needed to step in before he went on a rampage like how it was described by Loid.
He could easily defend himself, but he couldn''t say the same about others.
"Stand down, Kritz!" Hemanded firmly.
At first, Kritz was hesitant onplying, but when he felt a chill run down his spine from merely the re of Hisha, he deactivated the glow and exhaled.
"What is it? Too scared to face your fears?" The voice snickered and echoed all around them.
Before more could be said to taunt Kritz, there was a gasp for breath before a ripping sound could be heard.
Whoosh!
Jumping at the top of thete Merchief''s monument was Gregg, he had one of his eyes closed and held onto his shoulder, using his Sux to clog the profuse bleeding.
Kritz stared wide-eyed in shock, realizing Hisha dropped right back beside him.
''When did he¨C''
[60 Sux exhausted]
"You should be the one scared to face me¨Cyour new fear!" Hisha raged with a glint in his eyes.
He had recalled how the Sux that seethed off the figure was all too familiar and merely a diversion from the true mastermind behind the puppet illusion.
[You have to love mybat features]
HTC prided itself in its method of deducing the exact location of the perpetrator, immediately teleporting and enabling its host to essbat mode which overrides inhibitions that would have naturally stopped the host from achieving.
Kritz immediately went down on his knees, stricken by awe and the seething Sux that burned off Hisha.
[70 Sux exhausted]
Easing up on his Sux expulsion due to unintentionally coating himself with it, he exhaled but locked his gaze on him.
Looking over his shoulder, hemanded all within the vicinity to take shelter and away from the scene.
Gran yelled to the other guards, alerting them to the need to heed the warning.
Kritz on the other hand maintained his position and never bothered to look up. "Let me fight by your side, my lord."
"Not today," Hisha replied with a grim look.
Forcing himself to his feet, he walked back, not intending to turn around just yet like the rest, instead, he watched as Hisha jumped onto the roof of a building, ready for a faceoff with the strange male.
"Go! Go! Go!!!" Gran yelled out for the rest, seeing this as an opportunity to finally have the overlord himself take down the source of what had gued them.
Feeling a push at his back, Kritz hissed as he was given a booster and lost sight of his lord.
Looking behind at who had done that, he snarled and was faced with Gran.
Raising his hands in surrender, Gran looked scared but had to exin why he had done that.
"You would have stayed and ignored the direct order of the overlord. Our one chance at finally ridding ourselves of one problem would be gone if lord Hisha decides to sacrifice his chance to help possible coteral damage."
"I''m coteral damage?!!!" Kritz red at the assumption.
In a bid to peacefully settle scores, Gran gulped and pulled on his cor. "It''s an order we have to follow and you aren''t an exception!"
Feeling those words hit like a rock, he eased up his anger and shook his head. Turning off to wait alongside the others until Hisha was back.
*****
"We meet a second time," Hisha said.
Gregg groaned and observed his surroundings knowing he had an unfair advantage since he had no one to hold hostage nor a body to manipte.
"You seem to have lost your partner, by any chance, do you need a hand?" Hisha taunted, raising the ripped left hand and waving it around to irk Gregg.
[That was smooth host, real smooth]
''Why, thank you, HTC.''
[It wasn''t apliment!]
Gregg furrowed his brow, there was no way he was going to confront the overlord, nor was he going to risk losing his life for some silly duel.
Seeing an opening after noticing the crack made in the barrier by Hisha''s wind strike, he hid the grin that had threatened to spread across his lips.
[An attempt at escaping in progress]
''Oh no, he doesn''t!''
Making a huge limp to propel himself enough to crash the barrier, he felt a water whip hold onto his leg and drag him back down.
Crash!
Letting out a yell in pain as he temporarily lost control of his Sux and had blood gushing out of his severed hand.
Wiping the corner of his lips, a wide grin shed on his face, "why do I feel your little escapades were done without the knowledge of your teammates?"
Gregg used his right hand to push himself up and groaned through the whole process.
Without being told, he could tell that Hisha was ying with him and was intentionally not using any dangerous moves or strong-contending actions.
''I need to escape, Yoru wouldn''t be pleased.'' Gregg gritted his teeth, feeling his body stagger due to feeling lightheaded.
"I know what you are, and I have to say, I am disappointed at how weak you make your race seem." Hisha spat.
[Ability: Telekinesis]
Crrk!
Gregg hissed at the tug at his shoulder and momentster he felt himself being pulled up.
Hovering due to the hold Hisha had on Gregg, he screamed out in pain as Hisha had his palm wide and fingers in a crooked vertical manner and the other palm over it like a lid.
"You had tried to seal me?" Hisha cackled, slowly losing his restraints, and had a wicked grin.
Gregg on the other hand felt his arm and legs forced into an invisible cornered space that was closing in on him.
"Tell me, what do you n to do with Kritz?!" Hisha barked, enraged by the weak smile Gregg shed his way.
Ignoring the question, Gregg attempted to spit in Hisha''s face, knowing it would meet the barrier like ss and slide down.
At the sight of the failed attempt at a gesture, Hisha''s patience was thinning and so was his desire to make a tight fist that could instantly kill his opponent.
''Is it my time to die in such a way?''
The blood that began to soil Gregg''s clothes was a little disturbing for him and for his final act to save himself, he let out an ear-piercing scream which sent a wave that swept through the whole of Mertac, and escaped through the crack into its destination.
Gregg let out a peal of maniacalughter, knowing what woulde next in a matter of seconds.
Feeling something was off, Hisha made a clench his hand without thinking much about it anymore.
A stter of blood congealed inside the space and covered any trace of Gregg''s remains.
Exhaling, Hisha let go of the hold that still kept the corpse hovering and a puddle of blood dropped before the remains of the body dropped to the floor with a thud.
With a cold stare, he stared at the crushed corpse, with what was left being the bones protruding outside the designated location of each limb with some broken and piercing into other parts of the body.
Spitting on the corpse, Hisha rolled his eyes, disturbed he felt no satisfaction from ridding himself of one of the nuisances that had been a pain in the ass.
[You just killed two problems with one strike]
''I did.'' He let out a sigh and turned around to see Yoru behind him.
She stood frozen and in a state of shock with her head tilted and still staring at Gregg''s body.
''I knew there was something strange about that yell!'' Hisha made ims to his suspicions.
Silence prevailed for a while as he stared at her, curious as to what she could do being alone and losing an essential part of her team.
A tear strayed down her cheeks and she dropped to her knees. "I was toote."
Punching on the ground repeatedly until it bled and healed repeatedly.
''HTC, what the fuck do I do now that she''s vulnerable?'' Hisha inquired, hoping not to make a mistake and risk losing his immortality.
[Warning host, she is not alone and there is something odd about her Sux]
Upon the warning, Hisha could already guess the other partner must have been lurking somewhere with a cold gaze on him.
[Be on guard, this isn''t like the first time you encountered them]
''So much for my ns to make fun of Mich on my first official visit.'' Hisha deadpanned, disappointed by the spiral of crazy events.

Chapter 88 So The Search Begins...
Activating his telekinesis, he uses the grip on her, raising her into the air as he had done for Gregg.
Struggling and groaning with pain, Yoru whistled to signal the other which was lurking in the shadows.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Hisha ducked just in time and looked behind him to see an arrow that had been coated with a dark Sux strike a building.
''Nothing happened?'' Hisha wondered.
Little did he assume that was the worst, there was a cracking sound before an explosion that sent Hisha crashing into another nearby building.
Breaking away from his hold, Yoru used the moment of distraction to snatch up the remains of Gregg and flee the scene as they had nned.
[Does that look like nothing to you?]
HTC mocked, watching its host get to his feet.
Pppttt!
Hisha spat out debris and broken shards of shells that had entered his mouth after the impact.
''How about not putting fuel to what''s already burning?'' Hisha''s brows twitched in annoyance at having lost Yoru because of the stupid use.
He wondered if it would seem alright to always have some of his chosen harem members apany him whenever he was out.
[Enemy is out of Mertac]
With his lips drawn in a thin line, Hisha looked back at the blood-stained floor and easily deduced Gregg had been taken and that explosion was merely a diversion.
''I would appreciate it if I could see my status. I need to understand something.''

''What the fuck happened to my Sux?'' Hisha stared shocked by how depleted it was.
[It''s not even that far down, what''s with theint?]
[Sux depletion: 1 for every 10 minutes used]
Staring at the information, Hisha hissed at it.
[Does that ring any bells?]
''I hadn''t expected it to actually reflect.''
[It would interest you to know that I work urately unlike your partly brain¨C]
''Are you trying to pull me down with degrading words?'' Hisha hissed, narrowing his eyes at the user interface.
[No...]
HTC made a whistling emoji and closed all windows.
Narrowing his eyes andbing through his hair with his hands, he decided he needed to do something worthwhile with the little time he had.
''I would need something that can aid me in my search.'' Hisha suggested hopeful HTC could immediately say what was needed.
[What sort of search?]
His mood was instantly weighed down by the response and he cleared his throat before speaking.
''I need to find Dalsa, even if it is thest ce she has been seen.''
[... loading]
Pacing about, Hisha used the opportunity to take a look around for little clues as to why the Vandrik had gued this territory for so long.
Looking over at where the puppet-controlled corpse was bound by chains, he wasn''t too shocked to note that the body would undergo a rapid decay due to the perpetrator seemingly dying.
Squatting and understanding the scorch marks, he had a smirk at the revtion¨CYoru had made sure to cover up their tracks.
''That sly seductress!'' Hisha clicked his tongue and got to his feet.
Ding!
[Mental stamp]
Puzzled by the item suggested to him, he hoped HTC could throw some light on it.
[...]
''How would I know what it does if you don''t give a brief description of what it could do?!'' Hisha exhaled, shaking his head after he realized that HTC had intentionally withdrawn the information.
[What you sought is what was given]
Hisha raised a brow at how HTC was unwilling to give the info on the item.
''It would be nice to give the information before the others realize I''m done with the duel!'' Hisha reminded in a singsong voice.
[Mental stamps help the user to automatically identify those who have seen your desired target with 100% uracy. Tapping into the subconscious and getting the desired information without leaving a mark]
''Now that wasn''t so hard, was it?''
[There is a bit of a root deep hindrance to the procedure]
HTC warned with a low and monotonous voice, knowing the repercussions of using it.
It had hoped by refusing to describe the item, its host would refrain from using what he didn''t know to what extent it could go with it.
''Is there anything that doesn''te with a price?'' Hisha rolled his eyes at the obvious warning.
[For every person the item encounters and uses its ability, 1000 points are deducted automatically and one-tenth of your Sux]
Hisha grimaced at the condition, disappointed that he couldn''t get by without having to sacrifice something apart from points.
''I swear to my creator, if this is a ripoff purchase point, I''ll drop it and wish Dalsa Good luck.''
[Cost of purchase: 3000 points]
[Time limit: Unknown¨Cmaintained by replenished points and Sux]
Narrowing his eyes at the message, he let out a sigh, nodding to the requirement.
Ding!
[Mental stamp purchased]
[umted points: 8000]
[Usage: For each sessful targetes a deduction of 1000 points and ? of your Sux]
''I can automatically turn this on and off, right?''
[Yes, but what good would it do if you miss a target that would be crucial in your search when you turn it off?]
''Fair point.''
Forcing a smile on his lips, he turned around and went in search of the rest.
*****
"I don''t care what you all think, I say my lord needs me and that is where I''m headed!" Kritz protested against staying put.
The other guards gasped in shock at who stood ahead.
Ignoring their reactions, pushing them aside, and thinking it was merely their way of showing how shocked they were.
"So, do you consider me a weakling that needs your help?" Hisha''s voice boomed behind.
All dropped to one knee and bowed their heads in respect.
"Lord Hisha." They all chorused.
"Where''s Twet?" Hisha waved off their greetings, not pleased with what he had to do while he nned just to make a mockery of Mich.
Kritz got to his feet and pulled on the reins, revealing Twet strutting towards its master.
Caressing its mane, Hisha let out a hearty cheer, "I''m d you''re safe."
All had wide grins at the disy of affection from the two of them, but all that was burnt the moment Hisha shed a re their way.
"If something had happened to my horse, aside from the damage caused in Mertac, you all would need to be checked!"
Kritz bit down on the bottom of his lips to stifle augh, as much as he wanted to act scared as the rest were, he walked towards his horse and led it out.
Following Kritz, Hisha looked over his shoulder. "Don''t just stand there! Lead the way!"
Startled by his domineering voice, Gran scurried off to fetch his horse, while the rest dispersed to take their designated stations.
*****
In Mich''s Chambers,
Knock!
Knock!
"Get out!!!" He yelled with zing rage for being disturbed.
Knock!
Knock!
Cross-popping veins made their way to his forehead as the knocks continued rhythmically.
"Mich, it would be good for your sake if this door opens in 5 seconds!" Hisha warned from the other side.
Trembling with fear, he wondered why he should be expecting the overlord.
''Did he know about what I had done?'' He wondered, slowly making his way towards the door.
Click!
Walking in without speaking, Hisha scanned the room.
An orchid rug runs in a circle around the room, with two paths at the king-sized bed and the main entrance while matching banners with adorned margins decorate the walls.
Between each banner, all but a few of the braziers have been lit and in turn illuminate the paintings ofte Merchiefs and the magnificent pearl that they all sought.
''So that''s a bit of the reason for the obsession.'' Hisha deduced and shook his head.
Mich stared silently at Hisha who looked distracted and concentrated on the hefty, stained ss windows depicting ancient legends of his tribe.
The windows are neighbored by curtains colored the same orchid as the banners. The curtains have been adorned with gold fins and gilded linings.
"Lord Hisha." Mich''s voice quaked, thinking through what he had said earlier.
Turning around, Hisha nodded his head not to the words of Mich, but rather to how fanciful his room was. "You have a nice ce."
Those words sounded a little sarcastic to him as he flinched but nodded his head to thepliment.
"Now tell me, why did you request my help?" Hisha immediately brought up the dreaded question.

Chapter 89 Deceit, The Best Approach
"I asked for your help, my lord?" Mich did a double take on the question and sweat dropped at the unfortunate situation.
Hisha masked his shock with a raise of his brow and pulled on an empty chair. "While on my way here, I met up with some disturbances."
Mich leaned on the wall, thinking through what could be the cause.
"It would seem you had some issues you had been facing all on your own for some time now."
Mich''s eyes doubled in size, finallying to terms with what he meant. "You encountered ''it''?"
"It was fun." Hisha blurted out, chuckling at the experience.
Even though he had lost the body of the mastermind, it was fun to duel a Vandrik with no self-control and establish the fact that he was still superior.
"Fun," Mich repeated and gave a nervous chuckle.
Soon after, there was silence once again, they shifted nces everywhere apart from each other, none wanting to speak on the main issue¨Cwhy there was a mixup in the information they both received.
"That''s a beautiful painting," Hisha spoke up, nodding to the pearl paint.
Mich let out a cough and nodded his head, "it is the pride of our tribe for centuries."
''Definitely, so much so you could mate with just about any maiden and discard like sour food.'' Hisha sneered in his thoughts but forced a faint smile and nod of understanding.
"How is Divei, my lord?"
Hisha shot a grin at Mich, suspicious of his sudden interest in her after the tournament.
Cowering in fear, Mich shook his hand and frantically tried to justify his ims. "I seek no ill will, my lord."
"Well your brother was curious about my harem, how do you think that turned out for him?" Hisha''s mood darkened with a deadly glint.
Gulp!
Knowing he had made a mistake, Mich apologized for his slip, "I had just known her only just recently, seeing her duel in such a¨C"
He paused at the raise of Hisha''s hand, "I don''t care how you two met, or the rtionship. She''s in my harem and it would be in your best interest to perish that brooding thought of yours."
''How could I? When she''s the only lead I have to fully recover from this curse ced on me and finally get that pearl.'' Mich lowered his head, careful not to speak on what was on his mind.
He had mysteriously been given a task by the same scroll given from the unknown group on how he could get his hands on the mermaid.
"I didn''te here to speak on my harem," heid much emphasis on thetter and held Mich''s gaze. "Rather I came because there was an issue your people said I could help with."
Mich sweatdropped knowing who could have sought help on his behalf¨CHik!
''That sly little¨C''
"Mich?!" Hisha cut short his line of thoughts and snapped his fingers.
Shaking off the thought, Mich let out a sigh, knowing full well what could happen if his next words weren''t calcted.
"Tell me, what strange disaster befell your people¨Cother than the mysterious voices and destruction outside your fortress." Hisha came on strong and left no room for changing the subject.
Mich gulped and pulled on his cor, contemting how he could exin it without sounding like a lustful idiot.
Relishing in how ufortable he made Mich feel, he put on a stoic demeanor to hide his mischievous take on it, awaiting a response.
"My lord, my people have been gued with a curse that runs deep in us, only the royal blue blood of my family can cure this."
''Lies, but I''d let it pass and watch you embarrass yourself even further.''
HTC had told him all about the merfolk and the stupid rules they had ced on all merfolks, one of the rules was to give the royal blue blood ess to all mermaids during the mating season up until they found the right one who could produce the clear white pearl.
There was a riot that ensued afterward as this had deprived the majority of ess to their potential mate and were only left with those who had been abandoned after mating with the Mership.
To enforce this rule, a curse was ced on the mermen which could kill both the one who unts the rule and the maiden who willingly getsid.
Any consensual mating was abolished without going through with the royal blue blood. This made mermen willingly give up their mates to participate before they could have their turn or die while disregarding the rule.
[You are enjoying this, aren''t you]
''Of course, I am.'' Hisha nodded his head so Mich could continue with his masked story.
"We hold a mating season whenever there is a new Merchief¨Clike I am, whichsts for an entirety of that season until we get what would signify that we are rightly disposed for the position and cure everyone," Mich muttered, unsure if his story was bought.
Hisha rubbed his chin, pretending to be following when he had zoned out a couple of seconds ago.
"So you''re telling me, none of your generational Merchief have been able to find a cure for this?"
This question had caught Mich unawares and he coughed out before shalom his hands in front of him. "That isn''t the whole truth, what I meant to say was that my father had found that cure, but he was too selfish to share it with the others..."
All Hisha could hear as he processed the information was that thete Merchief was too selfish to share the ''pearl'' and its power with the rest of the merfolk.
"... It is indeed the magnificent pearl you see on disy in the painting, without that, our tribe would be thrown into turmoil," Mich said in a heavily dramatic way.
This almost made Hisha cringe watching that with a straight face. "How does that exin what happened?"
Mich sweatdropped knowing how his words had little to no impact on the overlord.
"I was in a mating session with a mermaid and had almost gotten the pearl when she turned on me and could strangely see the pearl."
"You were attacked and overpowered by a mermaid?" Hisha questioned and wasn''t intending to make it sound as though he was mocking.
Even though it was slightly different from what he had heard while sharing a connection with Melody, it was still a thing to describe the scene like he was a defenseless puppy.
''You had tried to choke her, you fucking liar!'' Hisha barked in his thoughts, his ability to maintain his calmness dwindling at how well he could lie his way to favor.
He wondered what could have gone wrong with his judgment if he didn''t have HTC to give him the concise information he needed and had ess to.
"I¨CI umm... not overpowered but tired from the mating session and too blind to notice when she had ulterior ns and attacked me¨Cmaking something go wrong with my..."
Unable toplete the sentence due to embarrassment, Mich scratched the back of his head and looked elsewhere.
Hisha hummed, actively pretending to be deep in thought.
"She attacked you, then killed your guards?" Hisha chipped in with a serious face.
Mich bopped his head, marveling at how he had managed to guess the situation right.
"Where is she now?" Hisha questioned, getting to his feet.
He needed to maintain the deceit of hisck of knowledge about the situation or having anything to do with it.
Mich took a step back from the impatient attitude of Hisha. "She disappeared."
"Disappeared?" Hisha repeated and tilted his head in confusion.
"Yes my lord, disappeared. I had gone to our local healer and a guard was sent back to evaluate and spoke on what had transpiredter on."
Hisha shook his head and wiped down his face, internally wishing he could punch Mich in the face.
"Now that I think of it, you are the only one who could help me, my subordinates were right, my lord." Mich dropped to his knees, giving a low bow with his forehead touching the floor.
Hisha scrunched up his nose, utterly confused by the change in attitude.
"Please assist in bringing justice to me and those who had lost their lives serving my tribe, the mermaid who had caused us so much destruction and disappeared into thin air." He begged.
[Dun dun dunnnn!]
''What in the actual fuck?!'' Hisha did a double take on the question and would be forever grateful for his expression not being noticed by Mich.
How could he fulfill such a request if she indeed actually disappeared into thin air?

Chapter 90 A New Target–Harem!
''HTC, now would be the perfect time to implement one of your ideas.'' Hisha sweatdropped at the tight corner he had been ced in.
[As much as I would love to help, I can''t interfere in decisions such as this. It''s up to you, host]
Hisha''s mouth gaped open in shock and disbelief but quickly had to maintain hisposure when Mich raised his head to witness what had made him fall silent.
"Lord Hisha, is there¨C"
"What makes you so sure she''s alive?" Hisha cut in, not ready to exin what had troubled him the moment he had been presented with the task.
He was already ming himself for his feeble attempt at mocking Mich, although he had gotten a fair share of it, the request given to him had pped back on the initial victory.
"There was no way she could have just gone into thin air, she is a strange mermaid but not a ghost if those even exist." Mich sneered at the thought of Melody.
"What''s her name and features?" Hisha questioned, knowing well this could solidify the fact that he had no hand in it.
Mich had a weird look and was skeptical about how to respond, but after some thought, he nodded his head and prepared his mind to give the best description he could of her.
"Her name is Melody, my lord."
"Melody? That''s a strange name." Hisha rubbed his chin and pushed forward.
''Is it possible that two people could bear the same name as in my world? It was strange enough that I bear the same name as an overlord.''
[There is no one in all of Kurg who bear a simr name, they are more creative than where youe from]
The hairs on Hisha''s hands stood on ends at the burn he had gotten from HTC''s words.
"It was strange, yet beautiful," Mich muttered without thinking things through, sighing at the thought of her beauty.
Hisha had a look of disgust on his face at the daydreaming Mich, knowing what he had done to Melody in herst moments.
''How sick is he in the head?!''
[It is quite unclear how that could be a problem, you all have the same tendencies, just how you all manage it is the difference]
Realizing his mistake, Mich dropped face down once more, disappointed in himself for thinking positively after what he had gone through.
"She has white hair, blue eyes, pink plump lips..."
Hisha raised a brow at such keen features he picked one that even he who had created her wasn''t so picky on.
[You did ask about description, a person only describes based on what interests them the most]
"...slender body, wide hips and a surprisingly voluptuous¨C"
He paused and looked up at Hisha, knowing how perverse his description was going.
Ahem!
"No, no. Go on." Hisha grinned and had a smirk, suddenly interested in how far he could go, nor could he me him for describing based on his desires.
Reluctant at first, Mich gulped and did a rethink on how he could rephrase his words, letting out a nervous chuckle to buy time.
"An alluring cleavage." He finalized and avoided eye contact with Hisha.
"So... you''re telling me a perfect girl was hidden in your tribe and I knew nothing about it?"
Mich shook his head and immediately went into defense mode. "I... I knew nothing of her existence until that day!"
"Are you raising your voice at me, Merchief?!" Hisha raised, his hands folded and a glint in the glow in his eyes.
Shaking his head, Mich bowed several times in apology, wanting to rify, he made mention of all the excuses Melody hade up with¨Call of which Hisha was already aware of.
"That boils to another conclusion, you were willing to mate with a strange mermaid just because she was alluring?!" Hisha teased with the click of his tongue.
Mich felt downcast by the observation, knowing there was no way of dismissing the fact that it was nothing but the bitter truth.
"Because of that, you were caught in your current situation and lost a few men?!" Hisha boomed, making sure to instill a fraction of fear and self-loathing in Mich.
Mich let out a sigh of disappointment in himself and nodded his head. "I was foolish, my lord."
''You got that right, foolish enough to plot to kill an immortal.'' Hisha sneered.
"No amount of pleas could revert what had happened to me or my tribe, but I had also lost something precious to our tribe and this I seek, please help me find her."
''You''re hopeless, fucking hopeless and you would never get your hands on the pearl in my possession.''
"I''d send out a search party, no part of Kurg would be left untouched,"
Mich let out a sigh of relief and thanked Hisha. "Your kindness is beyond any¨C"
"Only if you swear an oath ofplete allegiance to me, any form of deceit would guarantee a much worse fate than that of the Lycan tribe."
Mich gasped, he had heard about what had transpired after Wae had killed his brother and was d they had ranked higher and gotten more respect and fear from the others who took it as a form of support from the overlord to give such harsh punishment to the Lycan tribal chief and his people.
"My lord, I already am as loyal to you as any¨C"
Gasp!
Caught unawares by Hisha grabbing him by the neck, he stared wide-eyed as he was lifted above the ground, legs dangling and eyes staring into the glowing ones of Hisha.
"I don''t offer this kind of service without knowing I don''t lose any sort of respect and power. Helping doesn''t mean I get taken for granted. I will only agree to this to establish my power over thisnd and to promote the peace I so worked hard for!" Hisha snarled, relishing in the fear that spread across Mich''s face.
Forced to nod his head to the condition, he could almost sense that Hisha was almost close to the fact that he had nearly betrayed him in the past.
"As. you. wish. my. lord."
Letting Mich with a thud, he let Miche to terms he had just been choked and his neck snapped with any slight pressure given from the overlord.
''That is a payback for what you had done to Melody!'' Hisha cackled and maintained a smirk.
"Now that we have that settled, I''d be on my way, I would need to send out the task to my trusted guards, this shouldn''t be too hard," Hisha assured with a smile and dusted his fingers.
Mich couldn''t speak but managed to nod and actively avoid eye contact after what he had gone through at the hands of the overlord.
"If that''s all, I would be taking my leave. Do rest up, you''d need it." Hisha advised with a nod over Mich''s bed.
Mich nodded eagerly, hoping to be left alone as he had nodded.
Pulling on the door handle, he had not controlled his subsided anger and had ripped it out unintentionally.
nk!
nk!
Hisha watched with shock as the door knob fell to the ground and bounced two times before rolling underneath ampstand.
Looking over his shoulder, he had wanted toment on what had gone wrong but was stopped when Mich assured a little too loudly on the fact that he was okay with it, urging him to leave due to important situations and ming it on the fact that Hisha was just too strong for a lowly door like the one he had.
"Those servants don''t know how to put up quality things these days!" Heined with a scrunched-up nose.
''That''s some terrible acting, right there!'' Hisha internally facepalmed at having to stand and watch that.
With a wave of his hand, the door fell open and crashed onto the wall.
Taking this as his time to leave, Hisha stepped over the threshold and mmed the door behind him.
Mich jumped back in fear, startled but also expecting such an action.
Rushing back to the bedside table, he pulled on one of its drawers and whisked the scroll out and pulled open both sides, and reread its content and a grin made its way to his lips.
"It''s only a matter of time till I get Divei, afterwards, this would be aplete win for me and my people!"
He let out a burst of derangedughter and shoved the scroll back into the first drawer.
Adjusting his clothing, he cleared his throat and made his way toward the door. It was about time he visited his friend¨CHik.
''My next n would be much more satisfying since it affects lord Hisha''s harem!'' He had a grin as he left his chambers.

Chapter 91 Im Not Too Interested
In the corridor,
Kritz had been feeling ufortable, waiting it out for his lord to return. His legs drummed on the floor and he repeatedly sighed to voice out his difort.
"Would you keep quiet for once?!" Granined, rolling his eyes.
"Say that one more time and you''d be licking the floor," Kritz warned with a low growl.
p!
p!
"I was gone in just a few minutes and you are already in an argument. Kritz, is that how I raised you?"
Kritz got to his feet and bowed, "most certainly not, my lord."
Gran stifled augh, d that it had worked in his favor, only to get a bacsh right after.
"Didn''t I tell you that doing so with insects is not worth your standards or time?" Hisha stressed with a smile before looking Gran''s way.
Gran''s body stiffened at thement and knew all too well the feeling of Kritz at that moment.
"My lord." All the guards chorused in unison after nodding their heads to Kritz.
"Is this how you treat my assistant?!" His voice boomed as he took a nce to register each distinct face.
"We would never do so, my lord." They all bowed and looked to their chief guard to ascertain their words.
Forced into submission and unwilling to be a scapegoat for the others'' enjoyment, he apologized to Kritz.
"If that''s all, I would be taking my leave now." Hisha walked past with Kritz following in tow.
*****
In the citadel¨Charem bathhouse [I],
A group of 22 harem members were all sitting in arge body of water with a sponge in hand as they scrubbed their arms, backs, or legs and chatted during the process.
They all had a white towel wrapped securely around their hair, with little strands trailing down the sides of their faces.
The water was heated and a cloak of steam permeated.
Und and glistering with the flow of steady water trailing down a steep rock, there was a mixture of giggling and moans all around.
Sra looked around her and was disappointed that she had been ced in a different bathhouse other than that with Zui and tried to maintain her peace and blend in.
Her ears picked up on a sidement made by twodies beside her.
"You should have seen the size, Hei. He was huge and not just some muscle head, but an actual hunk with all the right strength needed to put us in a state of serenity."
"You mean all 14 of you?" Hei gasped in shock, dropping her sponge into the water.
She leaned over, exposing her cunt with a small patch of ck locks shaped in the form of a diamond on it.
"Got it!" Hei eximed.
Looking away, Sra held her breath and felt her confidence crushed at the words, some had gone as far as bedding their lord, yet all she had gotten was an orgasm without even getting the chance to go further.
''It must have been spectacr if they had managed to go far.'' She thought with sadness, her eyes downcast and slightly envious.
"If you''re lucky, he''d be visiting your harem next, I heard you were moved to Meretrix 03." Darcia wiggled her brows at Hei.
Blushing at the statement, Hei twirled her curly hair around her fingers and whistled out of uncertainty but as a mask to cover up her excitement.
Leaning to the side to make a whisper, Darcia snuck out a bit of an exnation she hade up with. Groping Hei''s breasts.
Gasp!
"What the hell are you doing?!" Hei eximed, pulling away so quickly, causing her to crash in on Sra.
"Could you watch where you''re going next time?" Sra hissed, pissed that she had been brought to the very side she wished to stay far away from.
"We''re so sorry!" Hei apologized after she had realized who Sra was and forced Darcia to do the same.
"Hey!" Darcia struggled out of her grip and harrumphed, "what makes her special, anyways? Just some race which managed to get ahead due to her strength, but has she gotten closer to our lord?"
All had their attention drawn to the threedies and were instantly curious about how the truth would y out.
"Sra, right?" Darcia gained more confidence as she raised her chin high and her hands akimbo, the water level barely covering her waist, but proudly showing her breasts.
Sra rolled her eyes but chose not toe out of the water as she had the water level covering her shoulders which had almost made her look as though she was a floating head.
With the silence that had followed, Darcia scoffed and proceeded to devise ways of mocking her.
"I bet you haven''t had a taste of what true womanhood is like." She mocked with a low, high-pitched voice.
"Darcia, that''s enough. This wouldn''t end well." Hei persuaded, in hopes of appealing to reason.
Shaking her head, Darcia refused the advice and still had her devilish grin stered.
Sra turned her attention elsewhere but responded only vaguely. "If you''re so concerned about that, then I guess you would just be someone our lord could use to pass the time, instead of spending his time wisely as he does with me."
There was a murmur among the others, shocked by her witty response and calm demeanor for someone who could bepletely different in the arena.
After Sra had given a hard-hitting reply, she had a grin of satisfaction and pulled off the towel to wash her hair.
Darcia gritted her teeth and was held back by Hei, "don''tplicate this any further."
Turning around to maintain her superiority, her hazel eyes glowed.
Darcia dropped to her knees, clutching her breasts and holding her head.
"The heat signatures determine your mood and I wouldn''t be shocked to know it''s envy that''s triggering this response."
Sra clicked her tongue and had a pitiful gaze on her, she had been so against Alta using her ability on them in meretrix one at a time.
With her perspective changed after having a taste of what it feels to enforce her superiority to her benefit, she couldn''t help but willingly support Alta in her heart.
''You all are weak and deserve no right to stand by our lord''s side!''
All had made their way and stared silently at the two.
"How about we ally low and desist from being envious and finish up with our bathing?" Sra whispered with a grin, audible enough to be faintly heard by the rest.
With that being said, she let go of her hold on Darcia, not before making a side note. "Do not challenge me while we are out of the arena if you can''t bear the burden of the little excerpt."
Wrapping her hair with the towel, she stepped out of the water, naked and careless about who cared or stared.
Picking up an orange wool towel from the metal grab bar, she let out a sigh of refreshment and stretched.
Walking towards the door, she had merely reached out for the handle when she watched it fly open.
"My lord?" She gasped in disbelief, puzzled as to how he had managed to locate their bathhouse.
Hisha''s eyes roved around the bathhouse.
"It''s our pleasure, my lord." The rest all chorused in greeting him with the best sultry voice they could muster.
When his eyes had focused on Darcia, she gave a smooch lips his way and jiggled her breast and groped on it while giving a moaning face in hopes of his enjoyment and attention.
"Darcia, you look lovely as always." Hisha reluctantly praised.
''Disgusting!'' He thought back at the disy and had his attention back on an unsuspecting Sra.
Initiating a conversation with her, he was d that she was doing okay,tely, all he had been thinking about was having her by his side.
"Shall we?" He offered his hand to her with a warm smile.
At first confused, she stared at his hand. "Where are we headed, my lord?"
She fiddled with her fingers, her voice soft and low, much to the shock of the rest who had witnessed her intimidating side.
The bathhouse fell silent as they all watched Hisha''s smile only brighten. "Just trust me."
Sra nodded her head and took his hold with much pleasure and mmed the door shut.
All thedies turned their attention to Darcia who still stared at the door dumbfounded.
"We could feel the chemistry between you two other than his sexual gratification." One of the females sarcastically made a sidement.
"Even the one used was specially picked by our lord. Maybe we should go learn lessons from her instead."
All except for Hei burst intoughter at thement and stepped out of the water gradually, ready to leave.
Darcia bit down on her bottom lips, ''in due time, you all would regret this!''

Chapter 92 What Other Way?
In the courtyard,
"Where are we going?" Sra muttered and squealed with delight from the rush of hair that blew the towel off her head.
Wet hair swayed with the wind and she felt like a blind mouse following directionsid out by the food.
Hisha had maintained his hand over her face and walked behind her, leading her through the walking path.
Feeling the grass under her feet, Sra took a sniff of the environment, picking on the fact that it was a familiar scent of flowers, one she only knew too well in her race.
"R?sie?" She muttered, shocked by how strong the scent was.
This was an ancient nt for her people which had aphrodisiac-inducing abilities on those who inhaled arge quantity of its produce at night.
All of which HTC had refrained from giving out the aphrodisiac properties in hopes of getting its host an opportunity to get intimate with Sra.
Hisha looked up at the full moon and grinned widely, intentionally getting overwhelmed by the scent.
[R?sie induction imminent]
Hisha furrowed his brows at the warning and was slightly still kept in the dark due to the unwillingness of HTC from letting out the real reason.
Pulling down his hand so Sra could view all around her, she let out a gasp upon noticing the radiant heart-shaped petals that surrounded them.
"My lord, how did you get this?" Sra questioned, amazed by the sheer square size that had been upied by them.
Pulling her by the waist, Hisha had a grin with his gaze zed over, and his breathing was ragged and huffs of breath were let out in hopes of getting intimate with her.
''What''s going on with my body?!'' Hisha wondered, confused and ecstatic about the encounter.
"I wanted this meeting to be special." Hisha managed to speak out and force down his desire temporarily.
''HTC, what''s going on? Answer me!''
To his dismay, there was no response, not even the usual loading epistles that signaled HTC ignoring him or thinking of a solution.
Sra nodded her head, understanding where he was leading with it.
"Just because of a little interruption doesn''t mean I never thought about this timeing up for the two of us." His fingers caressed the side of her cheek and made her lean in for more of his touch.
Although for her race it had a much slower effect on them, for others it would slowly consume them and would have nothing more to do than fulfill their desire.
Peering into Hisha''s eyes, she could see that much desire in them as he nted a kiss on her lips.
''It''s been awakened.'' Sra feared the worst.
Creating a barrier around them that served as a shield to stop anyone from peering in and give them ess to the outside world.
Slipping down her towel, he took in her naked body with great delight. "You never cease to amaze me."
Sra blushed at hisment, relishing the thought of finally bing one with Hisha.
Barely covering up her breast with her hands, just to tease him. She looked back down at the floor which still had a bed of R?sie littered around.
As the scent continued to permeate their surroundings, Hisha''s resolve began to dwindle.
"I... I... can''t." Sra muttered and pushed away from him, wrapping her hands around her as a form offort.
''What are you doing, Sra?!'' She had an internal conflict in her head.
Having her back against the barrier, she stared back at Hisha. "We can''t go through with this under the influence of the nts."
Hisha paused and thought about what that could mean and was caught in a loop of ''what ifs'' and the reason HTC had kept it a secret from him.
"They are beautiful and I do appreciate your thoughtfulness, my lord..."
"...but what we were about to do isn''t what and how you hoped for." Hishapleted, disheartened but understanding.
cing her hand on his cheek, she stared lovingly into his eyes and smiled brightly. "The fact that you were able to do this for me is enough reason to be happy that you went out of your way to prepare all of this."
She picked up the towel and wrapped it back around her. "They must be waiting for me."
Without allowing him to nod to her statement, she gave a light kiss on Hisha''s lips and scurried off in the same direction from which they came.
''HTC, tell me why I don''t need to find your motherboard and bury it alive!'' Hisha suppressed his anger at having toe to terms with the fact that HTC had once again willingly kept out information from him.
[Who says I operate using a motherboard?]
''Whatever that your selective memory holds, you had intentionally kept that part a secret from me, yet you expect a smiling face?!''
[You would have gotten a chance with her, I know you have a special liking for her]
HTC teased him with a smug emoji.
''Does it look like she''s in my arms, at the least?!''
Pinching the bridge of his nose, he shook his head and walked back in.
*****
Stepping back into his room, he mmed the door behind him and let out a frustrated yet inaudible scream.
[Now that you have that out of your system, how about you share o wise one on your ns]
Hisha raised a brow, ''what ns?''
[You seem to have forgotten a deal you had made]
''Would you stop speaking in riddles?'' Hisha hissed.
Dragging his feet towards the floor-size mirror, he took a quick glimpse of his figure, flexing his biceps.
[...]
When Hisha realized that HTC hadn''t responded, he heaved a sigh and straightened his posture.
''Are you going to speak or not?'' Hisha questioned, looking over at his perfectlyid bed.
To a degree, he felt a sense of loss at Alta not being there like she had always been.
[You''re thinking of the subus]
Not bothering to deny it, he nodded his head and let out a sigh.
[You very well know it is risky letting her with you, especially at night, without your Sux and mentality at stake]
''I get it, now can we skip all of that and you tell me what I seemed to have forgotten?!''
[How do you expect to find your creation if she''s gone?]
A wry smile made its way to Hisha''s lips, ''how could you doubt my capabilities?''
[Coming from you, host?]
''What the heck does that even mean?'' Hisha felt slightly triggered by its words.
He hade to terms with that when he had arrived in Kurg at the time, he was stupid and had asked questionable inquiries, but throughout his stay, he had proven to adapt and be calctive.
There had been some moments when he felt that all that had happened to the original host were originally his and would act ordingly.
[I didn''t mean it that¨C]
''I have changed, I know I have and I would appreciate it if you would always remember it that way.'' Hisha chastises, downhearted that even his system still had a pinch of doubt about his capabilities.
''You know, in the past, I was confused as to why you had refrained from letting on more than I could take or why you refrained from a warning or telling me some key information...'' Hisha had a bitter smile, looking out his closed window.
The window swayed back and forth, threatening to break free.
Taking three steps closer to the window sill, he pushed it open and felt a gust of wind cool his face. Instinctively opening his arms, he had a weak smile.
Turning around, with his back to the outside world, he continued his telepathic discussion. ''You didn''t want to control my life, yet you served merely as a guide that would straighten up the creases in this confused guy whonded in a strange environment.''
HTC responded with a teary-eyed emoji but uttered no words until its host was done wallowing in pain and disappointment in its manner of speaking.
''I know I was not the brightest, but I am grateful for the help. If you may be just a little more optimistic about my tactics and ways of doing things, I would be so relieved.''
Slowly dropping to the floor, he sat down and stared for a while.
"Can you do that for me?" He mumbled, looking down at his fingers.
[Affirmative]
Rephrasing its question, HTC began once more.
[What bright ideas do you have, host?]
This positive manner brought a smile to Hisha''s face, lowering his head as though he was drifting off to sleep.
''There is only one way. One that would help me in another quest of mine.'' Hisha ced his palm on the floor and grinned widely.

Chapter 93 Not Even My Harem
This chapter is dedicated to my most active/privilege reader [Intermoment]
______________________________________________
The next day,
Standing outside the door of Pesa, Hisha knocked on her door.
"Who the fuck is it?" She barked and threw ampstand at the door.
Bang!
nk!
Hisha chuckled at her method of starting up a conversation.
"You do know I am the only one who knows of this particr room," Hisha replied amidst chuckling.
Even though he could enter if he needed to, he refrained from using his ability aggressively with her if he wanted to win her trust.
"Kritz knows about this ce." Pesa snorted on the other side.
Hisha facepalmed, his brows twitching at the response. He had thought they were past the weird remarks and spitefulments.
[Be calm, she''s trying to force out what isn''t there]
''Oh, it''s there, alright!'' Hisha ced his palm on the wall and closed his eyes to calm his slowly building anger.
"Pesa, could you open the door?" Hisha tried onest time, speaking through gritted teeth.
[Someone''s in a bad mood]
''Bad mood, you say? She''s the only freaking harem member who thinks of me as worse than trash and a murderer.''
[Well you are a mur¨C]
Recalling their little discussion the previous night, HTC was quick to cut off itsment.
[Even though she thinks that way, it''s up to you to prove that you aren''t the man she thought you to be]
Hisha nodded his head to the exnation and smiled. ''Thank you, HTC.''
[Anytime]
HTC replied, slightly d that its host could not detect its nervousness at almost ruining the promise made if it wasn''t for the timely intervention and switch it could do.
Click!
Pesa pulled the door open and peered out with her head. She looked uninterested and tired.
Locking eyes with Hisha, she immediately looked away.
[Exp+1]
Hisha was stunned by the gain and was left speechless but also d about the improvement.
[We have made progress, host!]
HTC whooped in joy for its host, d he was finally getting a lead in the most difficult harem member.
"Can Ie in?" Hisha stressed with a warm smile.
Pesa stood still for a while, exhaling and inhaling before opening the door.
Walking in with his hands sped behind him, he was quick to take in her revealing nightdress.
It was a transparent bodycon mesh dress with the length to her knees. He could tell from the mesh robe she covered up with that she wore nothing other than that.
Trying his best not to have his eyes glued to her not-so-visible nipple, he looked towards the ceiling.
"You do take care of this ce quite nicely." Hemented, nodding his head.
[Stop doing that, it makes you look slightly¨C]
Thinking things through, HTC realized what a terrible idea it was to agree to such a condition with its host.
It was one thing to speak on what it felt without masking anything, it was another to try to put all the things it viewed in a positive light.
[You wouldn''t want your harem''s respect dwindling if they see you being less of a courageous overlord]
Hisha forced his head down at the words and looked into those captivating eyes, repeatedly telling himself that he hade to her for some discussion and no other activity.
"My lord," Pesa curtsied much to the dismay and difort of Hisha as he watched her breast bounce to the movement.
Feeling the need to spark up the conversation till it flowed naturally, he chose to attack the first problem he was facing¨Chis attention dwindling and swaying to other ces.
"Pesa, should I consider your dressing as some form of¨C"
Pesa wrapped her hand around Hisha''s neck and kissed him passionately on the cheek.
Expecting some sort of exp, Hisha was left disappointed when she pulled away, it left something odd inside of him.
[She initiated a kiss, host!]
''I got no desire points in any way, couldn''t you feel something wrong with that?'' Hisha retorted, taking a step back.
The urge to wipe on his lips and re at her was a feeling that was so hard to keep at bay, so much so that he had to turn his back on her and exhale.
Not looking back at her for a while, he spoke calmly. "What was that for?"
Pesa stood frozen and unsure. "It just came at the moment."
Even though Hisha knew that they all couldn''t see the Exp+ points he would get for every sessful hold he had on his harem in specific situations, kissing was by far the easiest way of getting points.
''Yet nothing.'' He thought with suspicion.
[There is a speck of desire towards you, although it isn''t confirmed what might have been the case to bring about such a reaction]
His eyes stilltched onto her nightdress, he suddenly found it repulsive. "Could you change into something a bit befitting, you don''t have to force yourself to put in the effort?"
Pesa looked down at her body and furrowed her brows, downhearted by his reply. "This doesn''t please you?"
''What the heck is she driving at?'' Hisha wondered but gave no response to her question just yet.
Pesa tugged at his waistband, "my lord if it''s alright by you, I would love to rejoin the others as part of your harem."
''This is another trick of hers.''
[Charismatic ability activated]
[Host, no!]
Hisha''s eyes had glowed, and so was Pesa who stood frozen in ce while under his hold.
''It wouldn''t hurt to know what is truly in her thoughts, I should be justified.'' Hisha defended.
"What is your¨C"
[Please, host, listen to me]
Hisha narrowed his eyes at the user interface, wondering why it was suddenly concerned about using the ability.
[Using your charismatic ability on your harem could bring about dire consequences. If you can''t get the information without the use of the charismatic ability, then you are no better than a useless head]
Hisha fumed at the condition set before him, ''is there any freaking thing that goes my way for once?''
[With anyone other than your harem, you are free to use as you please with 100% authenticity]
''You sound like an ad.'' Hisha deadpanned with a grim look on his face.
Taking a nce at Pesa, his fists clenched with regret as he disabled the ability. Although he could sense she was positively different from the first time they had met.
''There''s just something strange with her desire to join the others.'' Hisha shook his head, disturbed by her request.
[Calmly exin your reasons, and offer conditions]
"Lord Hisha?" Pesa''s voice brought him out of his trance-like state from her perspective.
"I need time to verify your trustworthiness. If that''s settled, you''re free to join the rest in your designated meretrix." Hisha exined.
"Oh..." Pesa sighed, "even this isn''t enough to do it, huh?" She unintentionally muttered her motive.
Catching on, Hisha held her hand and pulled her closer.
Gasp!
Pesa was startled by the frightening speed used and was now only mere inches away from his face.
[Exp+2]
''Strange.'' Hisha noted whilst searching her eyes.
"Tell me¨Ctruthfully, why did you try to seduce me?" Hisha held the stare long enough for her to feel ufortable.
She tried to pull away but was firmly held by the waist by Hisha.
A slight shake of his head, and he raised a brow signaling his desire to hear her express herself.
Her mouth made an ''o'' but no words came out, then her lips drew into a thin line, reconsidering her actions.
"Pesa, if you truly want my trust, this is the first step." Hisha pressed further, hoping to appeal to her reason.
[That''s right, go the sweet talker way]
Hisha internally facepalmed and ignored HTC like a gue.
Pesa struggled to maintain herposure as she spoke after a nod of her head.
"I had thought if I could seduce you, I could try to love you like the rest." She muttered, fiddling with her fingers.
Hisha stifled augh, almost certain that he was being mocked.
"You were a little vocal about yours, but I''m sure there are thousands among the rest who are hiding their true motives, like you."
Pesa struggled to hold his stare after the usation he put out.
Pulling her by the chin, he grinned and had his breath fan her face. "You on the other hand have a beautiful habit of showing your real colors. To your benefit, it''s for the best."
Pesa couldn''t understand what he meant by that, "I do not understand that, my lord."
"If I get wind of those who plot against me, I have no reason for their lives being spared¨Cnot even my harem." He concluded with a grim look.
Pesa''s eyes doubled in size, realizing how fortunate she was, curious, she needed to know. "What makes me different, my lord?"

Chapter 94 Daring Attitude Of His Soldiers
"Timing..." Hisha chuckled. "Anyte and you might have been the first to experience the purge."
Pesa gulped and looked down at their feet.
She was pushed up against the wall and lifted with ease. Her hands ced on his shoulder and legs involuntarily wrapped around his waist, she stared into Hisha''s eyes in confusion.
"My lord, what is going on?" She said with a huff.
"You did n on seducing me, right?" Hisha replied with a grin and wiggle of his brows, "well, I have to say, you are doing an excellent job only if you had a pure mind to this."
Releasing her after carefully setting her back on the floor, he smiled and took several steps back.
"If you keep your part of the deal, I will keep mine." He finalized and turned his attention towards the door.
Holding onto the door handle, he winked in her direction. "It''s best you try not to attract attention to yourself or that of your rivals, remember you have no ability until you are called to step into the inner walls of the arena."
Opening the door slightly, he gave a nod of acknowledgment and locked it behind him.
Dropping to her knees, Pesa let out a sigh of relief at finally being left alone. The rush of adrenaline gotten from the current experience had her questioning her motives.
''Who is truly on my side?'' She wondered, pondering over the fact she had been this way all because of a message gotten from those mysterious people.
*****
Walking down the hallway, Hisha was light on his feet, heading towards the soldiers'' quarters.
[This could have been done by Kritz]
''I know, yet I chose to do this myself. If they see me, they will intensify their search.'' Hisha scoffed and shoved his hand into his pocket.
[Intensify their search for the impossible]
HTC countered once more, giving a displeased emoji.
''How many times do we have to go over this again?! They will with a little help.'' Hisha had a smirk and turned to his left.
[Sure, you are the one with the points anyways, if you don''t get more from tournaments or rare tasks, your efforts would be as good as useless, host]
''Are you wishing I fell into that category?'' Hisha paused and stared at the user interface.
[...]
Holding onto a pir, he looked down the pathway and was slightly disturbed by the dpidated environment just 3 meters away from the soldiers'' quarters.
''What are my funds used for?'' Hisha raged at the condition before him.
Holding onto one of the pirs made him realize how weak of a structure the soldiers'' quarters were constructed underneath.
Following the trail of cracks on the pir towards the decked floor, he took a step back and gritted his teeth.
''That''s a trap ready to bury them.'' He observed.
Looking behind him, he could notice that there was no structure built, and was nothing more than an empty hallway.
''Who the heck staged this? Why are they in such bad conditions?!'' Hisha channeled a bit of his Sux through the cracks.
Gradually the cracks closed up and the tiny rubbles that dropped asionally stopped.
[50 Sux exhausted]
Stepping on the walking path, a surrounding green Sux spread in a circr motion around him, dispersing into specks of light particles.
The once moldy green walls began to gain their color once more. nts climbed on the walls and grew flowers to decorate the sides and spiraled around the pirs.
[150 Sux exhausted]
Calling on his status, he needed to be sure of his Sux.
__________
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1003]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 800/1000]
[Meretrix: 2]
[Points: 8100]
[Exp: 54]
[Total number of your harem: 6237]
__________
''It did increase, excluding the one I had used.'' Hishamented with a smile.
[All you needed was rest and away from the activity to replenish]
Before he could take another step forward, he heard a click from the door a few feets away from him.
Stepping out were all the soldiers in their thick padded armor gambeson scarp aketon navy blue coat.
They all looked rmed and ready to face the threat outside, drawing out their swords, axes, and spearsced with their respective Suxs.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Hisha weaved to the left, and pped the rest on his right, just in time for the spears on the left to impale the pir and the ones on the left sent flying into the air.
Using the knowledge he had gotten from his duel with Yoru''s minion, he dispelled the Sux on the spear before anysting damage could be done to the pirs he had just repaired.
Hisha raised a brow at the gesture, looking back at the soldiers standing on their guard and waiting for him to step out of the shadows.
[They are alert]
''So what?'' Hisha countered, a smile gracing his lips.
A part of him wanted to stay in the shadows, pretending to be a powerful opponent and cause some mischief, another wanted to brag and reveal himself so he could see them realize their mistake and bow to his presence.
"Step out of the shadows, intruder!" One of the soldiers yelled out in a deep voice.
Swinging his scythe around, he red into the distance, "you have ten seconds!"
Hisha''s grin only broadened at the dare, suddenly overwhelmed with adrenaline.
''How strong do you think these soldiers are inparison to guards or Kritz?''
[They are the strongest in all thend and by far the most experienced inbat.
The guards are lower in ranking and attack power...]
Hisha furrowed his brows at the pause in exnation, he needed to be certain of their skill inparison to Kritz to know how well he would enjoy a duel or just give up the cause so he wouldn''t cripple his forces.
''You''re doing this on purpose again, aren''t you?''
[Is it worthparing them with your strongest ally and ASSISTANT?!]
If words could scream, Hisha could feel the intensity in HTC''s words.
''Sheesh, I get it.'' Hisha rolled his eyes and decided to go against his original n for a duel.
Before he could step out, an arrow was shot closely in front of his boot.
''Really? Wasn''t I told to step out?!'' Hisha let out a subtle chuckle, amused by the daring attitude of his soldiers.
Coming out of the shadows fully, Hisha took a good look at the soldiers. "Is it wrong to personally visit the brawns of my citadel?"
"Lord Hisha!" They all chorused with a hint of fear as they all went on one knee, bowing their heads in reverence.
Clearing his throat, the very one who had challenged him to step forward with his scythe decided to speak up for hisrades.
"If it pleases my lord," he began and looked up towards the rest who nodded their heads at his willingness to go through with the lead.
"You may speak." Hisha acknowledged with a nod.
"Our premises suddenly changed more than what we had imagined it to be, it had alerted us to the fact that an external force had a hand in it."
Hisha stifled augh, knowing that he had sacrificed a fraction of his Sux to help with the dpidated area.
"Our room suddenly turned luxurious." A redhead soldier blurted out in astonishment.
Bam!
Another hit him on the head and was quick to re at him.
Watching all y out before him, Hisha could tell that they were all hiding their condition and were merely made to believe he knew about it.
"But it''s true." The redhead continued with his protest of the others shutting him up.
"How do you all like your new setting?" Hishaplimented with a smile.
With all sharing a knowing look, they nodded their heads before speaking in a chorus. "It feels habitable for once."
Their words brought a smile to his face, even though that wasn''t his original n for visiting their quarters, he wasn''t going to let this stop him from investigating.
''Who is in charge of this ce?'' He questioned HTC, hoping to get a favorable response from his system.
[Was, host. It should be ''was'']
Internally facepalming, all he needed was a name and not the identification of the tense.
''A name would suffice.'' Hisha snorted, rolling his eyes.
[Name: Rean Dru]
[Height: 175cm]
[Position: Warlord]
[Status: Dead]
[Description: A male, having messy green hair with bangs hanging right under his chin, wore a sleeveless ck overcoat seamed with gold hemlines over a leafy green robe with a ck cor and sash. ck pants and a pair of dark brown boots oveid with criss-cross patterned ck ribbons]
[Does that ring any bells?]
HTC retorted with a ringing sound that continued afterward.

Chapter 95 Even If We Lay Down Our Lives
''That disrespectful swine!'' Hisha spat, not only did he disrespect him, but had also taken advantage of the funds given.
At the onset into the world he found himself in, he had always wondered why there was an ensuing hatred that had led to Kritz brutally killing him over an issue that could be overlooked.
Now that he witnessed the endangering condition his soldiers were in, he couldn''t care less if Kritz red up at anyone.
''He deserved what he got!''
"Do not be rmed, I had thought this ce could use a bit of refurbishing¨Calthough I hadn''t realised it would extend to the interiors."
Making more emphasis on thetter part so HTC could understand he was talking to it and could understand why arge sum of his Sux drained in a matter of seconds.
The soldiers all fell face down and repeatedly thanked him.
"To what do we owe our overlord gracing our trenches?" Another guard spoke up.
Raising his head slightly, it revealed the red scar that trailed from his forehead and across his eye to his chin.
Intrigued, Hisha stared at the scar and began making a mental note on what could have made him have such a big one at that.
"I would like to personally request your services in a secret task and not just any task but a search for someone." Hisha briefed and waited for response before he would continue.
Nodding their heads, they looked back down, awaiting his next words.
"A situation had ured in thend of Mertac and a search for a dangerous yet alluring female is made the most important one for the period."
"A female?" A scoff was made amidst the soldiers and the rest began to made side remarks on how weak of a person the tribal chief of the merfolk was, if he couldn''t handle just a single problem from hisnd.
"Does anyone have a problem with the task?" Hisha folded his arms, sensing division and reluctance from some of them.
Several hands were raised, but not for the task but the disdain they felt towards the merfolk due to some of them witnessing the murder of the previous Merchief¨Cin their thoughts could only be considered weak.
"I have no issue with what my lord has said and we all can testify to this fact..."
"But there is something you would like to say on behalf of the others." Hishapleted with a raise of his brow.
Nodding his head, he gave the permission to go further with the soldier''s concern.
"Time and time again, the merfolk had never contributed positively to your cause, my lord. Even while we were sent to search for the best of the females in thends, the tribal chief¨C"
There was a collective brief cough made from the rest which signalled him to stop and mind his words as he spoke.
Although they had been silent about the mistreatment endured in the hands of the very people their lord had chosen to be his advisors, they knew speaking ill of any was as good as going against the overlord.
Noticing his hesitance to continue, Hisha squatted and called the soldier forward to be just three feets away from him.
"Lord Hisha, I would never..."
Beckoning him forward and not taking no for an answer, Hisha waited till the soldier made his way among the rest, and got on one knee as they all did.
Having a big grin on his face, Hisha tilted his head to the right before speaking. "You might think that I don''t see all, but remember I have eyes and ears everywhere and I do know about the misgivings of my tribal chiefs..."
Watching as the soldier''s eyes widened, so did the others, they all lowered their heads in shame at being caught red handed.
Clicking his tongue and getting to his feet, Hisha leaned on a pir, "it''s best you don''t hide anything from me, keeping it is as good as siding with them."
His eyes gleamed with the glow in his eyes and his mood darkened momentarily before switching back to his happy go lucky vibes. "If you know what''s best for you, I would spill before I cut off those who aren''t needed."
Gulping at the subtle threat, the guard nodded his head and continued nheless. "They had tried to sabotage the selection by threatening some of the families to give up their daughters with funds stolen from the taxes, killed some in a bid to mix the females with inferior ones with little to no use of their abilities or skills."
[Why do I feel as though I had told you something simr?]
HTC bragged with a humming sound, feeling superior in intellect and the fact it could feed Hisha with an urate information in a matter of request.
Hisha internally chuckled at the sarcastic attitude of its system to the news.
Although he had known about the situation, he had also thought through on the solution at the time, it was only a matter of time before he implements them gradually.
"They can''t be trusted, my lord." The soldier ended on a final note, his heart thumping hard, dreading he had overstepped his bound even though he had been given the chance to.
There was an eerie silence for a while until Hisha walked towards the soldier.
Seeing the shadow cast on him, the soldier trembled, unsure if he should look up and see what was to be made of him.
"Look at me." Hishamanded in a low voice, calm and patient on his manner of approach.
He couldn''t guess how the original host had treated his soldiers, but there was one thing he was certain about, he had gotten the adoration and fear of these soldiers.
All he needed to do was solidify this and he would have more allies by his side.
Reluctantly, the soldier looked up to see Hisha''s outstretched arms towards him.
Shaking his hand so as to signal him to take it, "it''s getting boring seeing you all half your size."
This little joke didn''t go unnoticed as their was a chuckle heard from all, slowly getting to their feet and dusting their knees.
"I am not doing this just for the merfolk but to gain back what I had lost." He announced to all, taking a nce at all of them.
Although he couldn''t go into detail what he meant by that, he needed them to understand he was solely helping for his sake.
"If this is for our lord..." One of the guard bellowed and paused for the rest to carry on with the sentence.
"... we wouldy our lives to make it a reality!" The rest chorused with rekindled determination.
Hisha had a proud smile, watching them all
"All you need to do is capture

DO BEAR WITH ME AS I HAD A BUSY DAY TODAY
Deactivating his ability, he let out a sigh and his voice turned cold, "I don''t need your confirmation to know."
"You do have a motive for joining my harem and if it means bing the monster you so want me to be, I would dly do so." Hisha finalized and turned around, making his way to the door.
Pesa stared at his back and felt a lump in her throat. While he was over her, she had expected him to forcefully have his way on her, but him pulling away was something strange after what she had done and said to him.

''Why?'' She gritted her teeth, unwilling toe to terms with his strange actions.
He had dubious thoughts crossing his mind on what he could have done to punish her. Reluctantly, he let go of her throat and got off her.

Chapter 96 Enjoy While Screwing Her Over
Taking a stroll towards his throne hall, Hisha whistled along the way.
[Do you feel good after the markings?]
''What''s there to feel good about, on the other hand, I should be asking you that question.''
If it all went ording to his n, it would be at his expense and not his system.
''I''m the one who loses points and Sux, here!'' Hisha hissed and paused in front of therge door.
As expected, the huge golden doors pushed in upon slightly getting closer to it.
Metaes on both sides had monitored movements and smell to their advantage.
Not wanting to look at those odd humanoid creatures, Hisha looked ahead with a straight face.
[Are you scared of those little doorkeepers?]
HTC teased, just to rile up some emotion other than excitement from its host.
cing his boot on the ivory rug, he stared at the high throne as though looking at it for the first time.
''Do you ever think I would be truly worthy of that throne?'' He looked at it with yearning, hopeful for the best possible oue from his system''s response.
[You have sat on that, haven''t you?]
''Yes, but¨C''
[Did the throne reject that t, hard skin of yours?]
HTC deadpanned, confused as to the ways of the people in Kurg¨Cespecially its current host.
Hisha furrowed his brows and traced his hands around the backrest.
Having alone time, he was grateful for the peace and the sense of satisfaction he got from the wealth and power he had in his grasp.
[Would you please stop touching the throne as though you n on snatching it?]
Pulling away from the throne, Hisha sat down and threw his leg over the left armrest.
Reminiscing about the time he had met Alta for the first time, ''it''s funny how time goes by so fast.''
[That is correct]
''There I was a virgin and clueless...'' Hisha chuckled at the thought, making a rey of what had gone down in the throne hall.
[Ahem... stupid... yes clueless I meant, host]
HTC replied in a hushed tone.
Choosing to ignore the words, Hisha was determined to see all in a positive light, while he sat on the throne, he felt like those of royal background portrayed in the television and newspapers.
"I''m more than those sucked-up pimps will ever be!" Hisha said aloud, throwing his hand behind his head like a cushion.
[You are better off with me!]
HTC eximed with pride in its work.
Drumming his hand on his legs, he thought about what he could do for the remaining day.
Remembering what he needed to carry out, he created a barrier around his dias, needing a safe zone to carry on with his n.
''HTC I need eyes on the selected soldiers.
Using the mark he had ced on them, unbeknownst to them, he could see their environment, just like he had done to Melody.
The view was a little crowded with several citizens walking past and making way for the soldiers to walk through while they stared in shock and disbelief.
It was a rare asion they were sure not to miss while the soldiers were in Straton.
''It''s time to perfect my n, don''t you think?'' Hisha conversed with a smile.
[Your ns, your rules, host]
Narrowing his eyes at the user interface, he couldn''t help but wonder if his system was trying to distance itself from him.
''A temporal body of Melody is needed.'' Hisha ordered.
[You do remember the points needed for this, right?]
[Current point umted: 8100]
''As much as I know this, I regret it now.''
Thinking through the cost of purchase¨C10000 points, he facepalmed.
''Why didn''t I think of that?!'' He pinched the bridge of his nose.
Punching on the armrest, he red at the user interface, thinking of better ways in which he could use it to his advantage.
''There must be a way, somehow, some way! HTC help me out here!'' He begged, disturbed by the fact that his n could run downhill if his soldiers searched to no avail.
[There is one way, but are you up for the task, host?]
Needing the points was his top priority and nodded his head to whatever''s condition could be ced. Thinking through all the tasks he had been given, none had been detrimental to him and were by far to his benefit, sexually or mentally.
[There is a task you could do in case of emergencies like this]
''Go on...'' Hisha rushed his speech impatiently, not too pleased with HTC dy in divulging the information.
[You would need to search for a harem member who is willing to copte with you in an hour time frame]
Hisha burst outughing at the task, if this was on a different ground of him disguising as another and cucking himself, he would have had a rethink.
[...]
Controlling his outburst, he heaved until he was back to his usual self, ''let me get this straight, I get to satisfy my lustful tendencies with this body and I can gain points?''
[More or less]
''What''s so bad and difficult about that?'' Hisha scoffed, wiping the stray tears from his early outburst.
[The points are determined by the harem member''s mood and attachment to you emotionally and physically. After that, she can no longer provide desire points for your level up]
''What the heck are you spouting?!'' Hisha got to his feet, disturbed by the deep-rooted meaning.
[If you don''t have any of these conditions met, copting with a said female would be pointless in the emergency period of an hour]
Hisha felt something in him crashing into a million pieces, it finally dawned that it wasn''t just about having sex with anyone but a careful study of who he could sacrifice to get what he wanted.
Clenching his fists beside him, he took deep breaths, the simple task he had thought was crumbling right before him.
The first that he had called to mind was Alta, she had shared a strong bond that had been recognized by his system, but the thought of losing gaining experience points from her?
''She''s by far the highest harem member I have with individual exp gains.'' Hisha stood, disappointed that his first option was gone.
Sra would have been another option, but the fact that he would never want their first time to be in such a way or risk his gains with her, he let out a sigh.
Slight trembles quaked his body as regret began to course through his mind.
Racking his thoughts on who he could use and willingly sacrifice his desire points gain, he sat back down and had his elbows on his thighs, hands steepled over his nose.
"Who has a strong connection both emotionally and physically but I''m also not too close or I am willing to sacrifice getting desire points from?" Hisha muttered to himself.
After several minutes of thought, he got to his feet when a name and a face made their way to his memory.
''I got the perfect candidate!'' Hisha whooped in Victory.
[Who might that be, host?]
HTC curiously asked.
''First, I need to know what''s the point range I could get from someone that fits that category?'' Hisha wiggled his brows with a grin on his lips.
Confident that his n could work just in time for him to gain lots of points until then.
[1000 at the least for a sessfulption. It would be more dependent on majorly the emotional aspect and the number of times it is carried out within the given time frame]
Rubbing his chin, Hisha nodded his head, ''I''d go for the ttering and irresistible sex drive.''
[You thought on the harem member a little faster than expected]
''That''s because she''s one ball of a sex bomb ready to explode and frankly I dread herpany and did get almost get into a brawl with Sra. It''s only a matter of time before she ends up like the rest while in the arena.'' Hisha snickered, rubbing his fingers at the thought of what he could do with his newfound task.
''Red eyes,rge bust, her desire to bed me is also on the high side¨Ca win-win!'' Hishaughed.
[...]
Proudly jumping off the mezzanine, Hisha got back to his feet and stretched, ''It''s time to search for that bitch!''
[Did you just call your harem member a b¨C]
''I know what I said.'' Hisha cackled.
Creak!
The huge doors opened as soon as he got close, stepping over the threshold. He looked back at the door with a smile.
Turning his attention down the hallway, he made his way to Meretrix 02.
''It''s about time I enjoy myself while screwing another over!''

Chapter 97 Caught Off Guard
Meretrix 02,
"She thinks she''s so smart and beautiful with little tricks up her sleeve?" Darcia scoffed to no one in particr.
Not being able to shake off the feeling of humiliation at the bathhouse, she gritted her teeth and mmed her hand on the table.
The mirror in front of her shook, steadied by her hand on the side.
Looking at the mirror, Darcia sighed and looked behind at the others chatting and giggling at the jokes they used to entertain themselves.
"Darcia!" One of thedies waved her hand, beckoning her over.
The rest all sat in a circle and awaited Darcia''s approach.
Reluctantly, she pushed back on her chair and got up, walking towards the center of the room.
Her hands akimbo, she raised a brow, "is there a reason I was called, Hema? I''m not in the mood for all these."
Chestnut, wavy hair clumsily hangs over a delicate yet beautiful face. Beady blue eyes, set low within their sockets blinked at Darcia with initial confusion.
"Well... umm... the fact that you''re here says a lot." Hema giggled and patted the wool rug they had all sat on.
Searching the pair of eyes awaiting her response, she let out a sigh, sat down, crossed her legs, and ced her hands in front of her to ward away the boredom.
Hema nudged Darcia and wiggled her brows, "we''re ying a little game."
"You know how I hate¨C"
Shaking Darcia''s hand, Hema shook her head, "I refuse to take no for an answer, you''re going to love this."
Giving a benefit of the doubt, with her lips drawn into a thin line, she nodded her head reluctantly.
Squealing in delight at finally making a breakthrough with Darcia, Hema looked to her side and at the others. "Let''s continue, shall we?"
Leaning to the side and an attempt to whisper, Darcia inquired about the sort of activity they were to participate in.
"Rx, sit down and enjoy the show." Hema snickered in mischief.
Clearing her throat was another female, she had her twin blonde ponytails with a hot pink ombre on each end dangerously barely resting on her nipples.
"Let''s proceed with the first dare." She pped her hands to get everyone''s attention.
Darcia raised a brow, suddenly realizing that there was something she had not taken note of when she sat down.
They all had some piece of clothing missing or their hair in a disheveled mess.
All their eyes were on her now, making her ufortable and forcing her to speak through the corner of her mouth and at Hema once more.
"Is this what you all call fun?"
"Shh!" Hema replied in a hushed whisper, her grin still present and maintaining her happy mood.
Cutting Darcia off before she could reply to Hema, was the blonde once more. "We are ying a game of dares, we need to know who is the most daring among us and who could ultimately satisfy our lord if he happens toe back here."
Darcia stifled augh, not wanting to ruin their moment. They all knew it was a rare urrence for their lord to branch by a meretrix more than once when he had not visited the others who would also be in expectation for their turn.
They could only hope for him to pick any who had made asting impression on his bed chambers.
Not interested in wasting her time on the game she considered petty, she ced her hands on the floor, ready to push up to get to her feet and leave.
Held back down was Hema who shook her head, whispering from the corner of her lips, "we had gotten word from an unknown source that our lord is approaching as we speak."
For a brief second, Darcia was pulled in by that speck of hope, seeing it as a moment of opportunity for her to get closer to him.
Easing her protest, she sat back down and let out a sigh of disappointment in her resolve when it came to lord Hisha.
As quickly as it came, she shook her head and also the thought, snapping back to reality.
"How sure are you of the source? What source was the message transmitted to whoever had spread the news? You do know that¨C"
"Do you wish for the tip to be wrong?" One of the females challenged with disdain. "I wouldn''t want you to jinx this for us, Dhampir."
"Darcia to you, Akasha." She corrected with the grit of her teeth, snarling at the full-blood vampire.
Unlike Darcia, Akasha had dark blue hair with an uneven fringe that swayed to the right and long bangs framing her face.
Her red eyes are actively staring at Darcia and wishing she could be challenged.
Darcia''s red eyes glowed with growing hatred at being looked down on by a vampire.
"Tch-" Akasha rolled her eyes and whipped her hair.
"Remember you have a rival that could kill you at a nce, feathers, fur, or fire!" Darcia barked out,ughing hysterically at her references.
Akasha raised her chin and pped back, "all of which you half-bloods can''t even fend against."
Getting to her feet in one swift motion, Darcia raised her fist, ready to throw the first punch, "why you!"
Knock!
Knock!
Pausing in her action, she and the rest turned towards the door and they all followed getting to their feet.
"He''s here!" A squeal of delight could be heard.
Hema rushed to the door to unlock it after confirming it was indeed Hisha on the other side.
''The source was right?'' Darcia tilted her head, dumbfounded the moment she set eyes on Hisha stepping in.
All went down on their knees upon fully sighting him, except Darcia who still had a hard time processing all that was happening.

[Exp: 69]
[Level up!]
''Bingo!'' Hisha thought with a smirk the moment he set eyes on Darcia.
[Are you sure about this?]
''Are you deterring me from this? It''s only a matter of time before my soldiers sweep through Straton and I lose my chance at them getting Melody as I had nned.'' Hisha argued, shoving his hand in his pockets.
[She also gives a lot of desire points, why waste that, host?]
''Something is unsettling about her, if left to develop she might turn into a much worse version of Pesa. Besides, her ability would be a drawback for me.'' Hisha countered.
[...]
With Hema signaling Darcia to get on her knees while mouthing the words, this only seemed to confuse Darcia all the more.
Instead of listening to the advice, she watched as Hisha slowly approached her from her perspective.
Offering his hand towards her with a warm smile, he waited till she took his hand.
[Exp+3]
''This is by far going to be as easy as stealing candy from a baby!'' Hisha snickered, pulling her towards him with rtive ease.
The others watched silently with a curious gaze as to what was happening before them.
"Let''s go somewhere more private," Hisha whispered into her ear.
[Exp+4]
Turning towards the door, he gave a warm smile to the rest, which seemed to soothe their shock for a while.
"Hopefully it might be one of you I might choose next." He concluded by sowing the seed of false hope.
Swooning over his charisma and watching in awe as he walked past them.
Walking out with Darcia pulled behind him, he didn''t bother looking back the moment he saw the timer begin its countdown.
[00:59:58]
Leaving him with no choice, he chose to go with teleportation.
*****
Click!
[00:57:34]
Pushing on the door leading into his room, he made a wave of his hand causing the curtains to drop and cast its dark shade over the room.
With a snap of his fingers, some of the torches flickered on, casting their dim illumination on the room, revealing a trail of roses at the bottom of the bed leading onto the bed.
Darcia was mesmerized by such romantic disy, she turned towards Hisha and kissed him on the lips.
[Exp+7]
Stirred by her aphrodisiac-inducing ability, that mere act stirred up his desire and when she pulled away, she was caught off guard when Hisha pulled her back in and held her by the waist and raised her right leg towards his hip, supporting her leg with his hand.
"Mmmf!" She moaned into his lips and pressed her bust against his chest and let out a gasp when she felt his erection pressed against her crotch.
Pulling away from the kiss, Hisha was temporarily driven by his lust and jerked forward, letting out a groan.
"Lord Hisha?!" Darcia moaned, overwhelmed by his drive, and began to question if she could keep up.

Chapter 98 Enjoy It While It Lasts °
[Slightly R-18]
*****
Lifting her, he walked towards the bed.
Not bothering to protest, Darcia held onto his shoulder for support till she was gently ced on the bed.
Hisha could understand that her abilities influenced his actions, and he was going to make the best out of the situation.
Ripping her green deep v-cut silk knee-length gown, he let out a low chuckle at how she had not bothered to wear anything underneath it.
"Why do I feel as though you were expecting this?"
Darcia''s eyes were clouded with lust, smiling sheepishly and blushing at the mention of what she wanted.
''He came to me of his own ord, he picked me out of the rest! I will prove you all wrong!'' She thought with joy.
Kissing down her neck, Hisha fondled one of her breasts and trailed his kisses till he sucked on the other.
Using his right hand to keep himself hovering over her and have his body weight off her, he ground onto her cunt, feeling her heat stimte his covered erection.
[Exp+6]
''That''s right, feed me with all the desire points you can offer while thissts.''
~Mmmm!~ Darcia arched her back and held onto Hisha''s hair, moaning continuously to his humps on her.
[00:46:08]
Not wanting to waste so much time in forey, he pulled his hands away from her breast and reached into her folds to check if she was stimted enough for him.
Darcia shuddered from his touch and bucked her hips so it felt as though he was finger fucking her.
"Yes, right there!" She whimpered, grabbing a handful of the bed covering below.
The slushy sounds signaled Hisha that he had achieved the stimtion level needed for his pration and was quick to pull away so he could hurriedly thrust right in.
Darcia pushed up slightly so she could take a good look at him while he undressed.
Slipping off thest piece of clothing, he had a smirk as soon as he locked eyes with her.
"I see you''re more excited to see it than I am." Hisha teased, getting back to his original position over her.
Darcia smiled and nodded her head, wiggling her hips and going down on his tip in hopes of making him aware of her needs.
[00:42:13]
Having little time to farm her for the points needed, he thrusts in almost immediately and lets out a groan as she let out a moan and arched her back once more.
[Exp+7]
''Fuck, how is it that she''s still as tight as before?'' Hisha thought with awe when he had a hard time pulling out conveniently.
Pulling out, he thrust right back and continued with the rhythm, holding her legs with his hands and concentrating more on his hip movements.
[1500 points gained]
Seeing how easy it was to gain the points, his zeal for seeing how far he could go before the timer went off caused him to thrust deeper and faster.
"Give... me... your... all!" He said in between grunts and pants.
*****
Tik!
[00:00:00]
Ding!
[5000 points allocated]
Pulling out, heid on his back and let out a satisfyingughter.
Looking to his side, he watched a passed-out Darcia snoring peacefully, with her arms spread out and cum oozing out of her cunt.
[You have been granted the mind maniption pill]
[Using this pill would put your target under your control for 48 hours after initialization]
[Would you like to proceed?]
[Y/N]
''Fuck no! Who the hell am I manipting in this room?'' Hisha snapped and rolled his eyes.
[It would be kept in your inventory section]
''Great, lock it up for future use if you must.'' Hisha replied, cing his hand over his forehead and staring at the ceiling, his chest heaving from the rigorous activity.
Groaning due to a wave of difort he felt, he wiped down his face.
[Sessful level-up rewards a random item for every 5th additional level-up]
''When did I level up?''
[The gained desire points from the bitch sleeping would do]
Hisha let out a chuckle at the dark humor of his system. ''You called her a bitch too!''
[I respond to the mannerism of my host, if you refer to your harem in such a manner, the same applies to my update]
Nodding his head, Hisha smiled and steepled his fingers, deep in thought.
Switching the conversation after a long watch of its host, HTC proceeded to ask another.
[Did you have fun?]
''Is that even a question?'' Hisha scoffed with it slowly changing to a smirk, sitting up straight and leaning his elbows on his thighs.
[You had engaged a total of 5 TIMES in the span of less than AN HOUR!]
''You don''t need to be so vocal about it, I can just read what is disyed!'' Hisha refuted the scolding from his system.
If he was given enough time, he would have done so much more than that.
Taking a nce at Darcia, he let out a soft chuckle at how she had been able to keep up until thest round which she had passed out from exhaustion.
''She sure knows how to bring on the entertainment, if she does well in the arena, I might as well keep her to satisfy my desires.''
[Typical of a lustful host]
''Why, thank you! I live only for the fulfillment of the title.'' Hisha''s witty reply didn''t go unnoticed by his system.
Aughing emoji was disyed and a bunch of scrolling ''hahaha...''
Cringing to the monotonousughter, Hisha made a mental note not to attempt to be funny to his system.
Calling on his status, he needed to know how many points he had umted and the current level he was at.
__________
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1006]

[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]

''Now that''s as much as I could get in a tournament!'' Hisha eximed in shock.
[One of the benefits of the emergency period]
''More than enough for my n to be in effect!'' Hisha thought with a bright smile.
cing his hand on the edge of the bed, he had wanted to get on his feet when he was stopped.
"Mmmm... lord Hisha!" Darcia moaned his name, snuggling up to his back with little moans escaping now and then.
Feeling her hands grab onto his waist while still sleeping, he bit down on his bottom lips and fought the urge to tear her hands away from him.
''Don''t tell me she''s dreaming that we¨C'' He paused, nearly gagging at the thought and shaking his head.
[...]
''Why can''t you just be a quiet bitch sleeping peacefully¨Con your own?!'' Hisha thought with disgust.
[You made use of the word once again, host]
''I know.''
With his body stiffened and hopeful that Darcia would let go, he tucked his stomach the best he could do and watched her grip only tighten and snuggled up to his back.
''You''ve got to be kidding me!'' Hisha eximed, nearly driven to tears.
[How about using the pill?!]
''Never! It won''t go to a fucking waste like her.'' Hisha barked.
cing his hands on her fingers, he soothingly called on her name.
Responding with a moan, Hisha wished he could shut his ears and had to bear it if he was going to be sessful in his attempt at getting her off him.
"Wake up, I need to check if you can still walk." He hinted at her sore crotch.
Darcia let out a chuckle at his words and pulled away so he could have a look at her soiled folds.
''Finally!'' Hisha let out a sigh as her death grip recoiled and he used the opportunity to get to his feet and offer his hand out to her.
Pushing herself up with her elbow, she stared at his hand for a while before taking it.
When she tried to get to her feet, a hiss could be heard.
"Was I a little hard on you?" Hisha smiled and swooped her off her feet.
"Hard is a little bit of an understatement, my lord." Darcia gave a weak chuckle.
Getting in on her joke, Hisha smiled and stepped into the bathroom.
*****
Click!
Stepping out of the bathroom after bathing her, he let out a sigh and opened a portal leading to Meretrix 02,
Stepping in, he was gathered by the others, with Hema rushing over to check on Darcia.
"Darcia!" She eximed, deeply worried about her unconscious state.
"She''s fine, you don''t need to worry, all she needs is rest." Hisha calmly exined, cing her on one of the empty beds.
The rest all bowed to him as they watched him leave immediately after.
Casting grim looks at Darcia, Akasha rushed up to her, holding her face with a tight grip much to the protest of the rest.
"Enjoy this while itsts, we''ll see who will eventually be chosen!" She barked at an unconscious Darcia with a wicked grin.

Chapter 99 Step Out!
Sitting in a lotus position on his bed, he exhaled and smiled. ''It''s about time, HTC.''
[Whenever you''re ready, host]
''I am ready to be ripped off once more.'' Hisha forced a grin and nodded his head.
[Cost of purchase: 10000 points]
[Time limit: 48 hours before the body disintegrates]
No matter how he saw this. He still felt cheated of his hard-earned points for just something that wouldst for two days.
[Are you sure it''s necessary?]
''Are you fucking kidding me?! After I had lost the chance to get desire points from that bitch?!'' Hisha snapped.
[I was thinking you could just tell the fish brain that it is impossible to find thedy he is searchings for]
''And lose my one chance at forcing him to a corner? Never!''
[...]
Waiting patiently for a response from HTC to hispliance, he inhaled and exhaled to pass the time.
''Remember, it must be identical to Melody and bring back her memories as a bonus.'' Hisha conditioned.
HTC disyed a nk interface, before closing the screen and bringing up another.
Ding!
[Mermaid temporal body purchased]
[umted points: 14600]
[Sux depletion: 1 for every 10 minutes used]
ring at thetter, Hisha facepalmed at the condition he still had to face on his Sux.
Materializing in front of him was an identical replica of Melody.
Fluttering her eyes open, she squinted the moment the light graced her eyes.
"Wee, Melody." Hisha greeted with a smile, tilting his head as he stared at her carefully.
Melody dropped to her knees and forced her gaze down, "my lord."
"Tell me, what were you thinking about sacrificing yourself?!" Hisha said with a low hiss, slightly triggered by the thought of his recollection of being shut out.
"I... I c-couldn''t bear to see you suf... fer watching all of that." Melody stuttered and fiddled with her fingers.
Getting to his feet, he squatted in front of her and pulled up her chin so she could meet his gaze.
"I do understand you understand the state of being you are, you meant well, but what you forgot to think about was that we shared a connection at the time, how do you think I could erase that?" Hisha said in a whisper.
Melody''s heart thumped with guilt, her eyes searched as she thought through what he had said.
"I... I am sorry." Melody cried out, her body trembling as she shut her eyes.
Stunned by her reaction, Hisha pushed back, disturbed about his decision to bring her back with her memories intact.
Although he had also wanted her to possess such memories so she could sessfully bait Mich, this had also brought a backlog to his approach to the current situation.
''HTC, what do I do in this situation?'' He thought in panic.
She wasn''t a part of his harem, nor did he want to develop any sort of attachment except the only way they could share a connection.
She wasn''t entirely a living entity, but her current action was making him reconsider his notion.
[Rethink your decision and cancel it! That should solve all your problems, host]
HTC sarcastically responded with a displeased emoji.
Hisha''s mood fell at the words, causing him to shake his head, ''You give great advice.''
[All in the day''s work, host]
Left with no choice, he pulled her in for a hug and stroked her hair. "It''s alright, I forgive you, don''t cry."
For some reason, Hisha felt as though he was caring for a crying child that just needed his attention.
Melody sniffled and light spasms coursed through her body as she tried to catch her breath.
"Are you alright?" He said in a soothing whisper.
Pulling away slightly with his hands on her shoulders, he searched her eyes. "They are red and puffy."
Letting out a low chuckle, Melody sniffled once more and wiped her face.
"For someone who had killed high-ranking guards and dealt a devastating blow to the Merchief, you are soft-hearted." Hisha teased.
Letting go of her shoulder, Hisha clenched his hands in a fist, not ready to establish any sort of bond.
''HTC, tell me I don''t need to establish a connection with her once more.''
[As you wish, I won''t tell you]
Coughing on the deep meaning of the word, he watched as melody materialized an orb of clear water.
Hovering in the air, she filled her mouth with it and inched closer.
Feeling uneasy about her movements, Hisha pushed back, still trying to regte his cough. ''HTC, what the heck does she n on doing?
[Exactly what you think she ns on doing]
Met with a dead end of the gold frame of his bed, he was caught in a liplock as she fed him the water.
Too stunned to react, he subconsciously began to swallow.
[Sux+50]
Hisha''s eyes widened at the notification, causing him to question what she had done to the water.
[This is another ability unlocked by the mermaid who had produced a clear white pearl, this and the pearl is the main reason Mich is searching for Melody and has his eyes on Divei]
''You''re telling me this now, why?'' Hisha countered, gasping for breath immediately Melody pulled away.
Exhaling once more, he felt his body regtion cool down and the coughing had been relieved.
[You have to earn the information, I won''t disclose what isn''t of need at the moment except if you ask]
Hisha internally facepalmed, knowing that his system was hinting at him getting the required percentage of memory recovery of the previous host to ess the rest of the hidden information he could miss out until the ''right'' time.
''How was I meant to know what to ask, if I don''t even have any form of recollection whatsoever?''
[You don''t, it''s for the best, the less you know for now, the better you are at solving your problems without being influenced by past mistakes of the previous host]
''Past mistakes...'' Hisha''s thoughts repeated like a broken record, knowing there was more to acquiring the memory than HTC was letting on.
"Thank you." Hisha smiled at Melody¨Cwho had been sitting quietly on the floor with her hands on her thighs.
With a bright smile, Melody had her eyes clouded with lust as she stared at his open crotch due to his sitting position.
''The condition of this is still on, huh?'' Hisha sighed.
[...]
Shaking his head, he forced a smile, thinking it was still more enjoyable than his moment with Darcia.
Beckoning her towards him, he had a smirk the moment she crawled in his direction.
*****
In Straton,
Pulling on the sleeve of ady, a guard examined the confuseddy''s face before shaking his head and letting go of her arm.
Without a word, he walked away, signaling to the rest to proceed to the next street.
"How rude!" Thedy barked in rage, raining curses at them.
Stopping in his tracks, he looked over his shoulder and a glint in his eyes caused her to shut her mouth.
The usually bustling city was at a standstill after the decree of no suspicious movement of its citizens until a thorough search had been made and the culprit found.
No one could understand what or why they had toply but they knew failing to do so would result in a permanent cleansing.
Making a U-turn, the soldier pulled out three arrows from his leather quiver strapped at his back.
Standing upright and cing his feet shoulder-width apart, he ced the shaft of the arrow on the bowstring.
Using three fingers to hold the arrow on the string, his fingers on the drawstring.
There was a grasp from the other citizens, not understanding what was going on, fearing for thedy to who he raised his bow and held it out like a target.
Coating it with his blue Sux, his voice thundered with intensity. "Come out or I would not hesitate to let go!"
Thedy''s eyes were wide in shock and confusion, dropping to her knees and begging to be spared.
All other guards in the vicinity turned at the slight whiff of trouble and mannerism of theirrade, pulling out their various weapons and coating them with their respective Suxs.
"Please, I swear by our overlord, I will never speak ill of his subordinates ever again." Thedy cried, helpless since she was left to fend for herself with no one willing to help her.
"Step out of the way, you aren''t our target!" The guard barked in rage because of her obstruction, triggered by the distinctive aura he had felt strategically hidden behind thedy.

Chapter 100 Weapon Fraction
Ddddd!
The pull on the drawstring only tightened as the guard made a mental countdown from 10.
Thedy crawled away, and clung to an upright pir, looking behind her to view what had caught the attention of all guards.
A red aura seeped out of a rock and materialized into an und Yoru holding onto her breasts with one hand and the other covering her crotch but visibly having little to no use.
All citizens present let out a gasp in shock, with thedies present shielding the eyes of their partners.
Peering through the mark on the soldier with the bow and arrow, Hisha nearly tumbled to the floor from his bed at the sight of Yoru in such a tempting position.
[What the heck is she doing?!] Hisha barked at his system, collecting his thoughts, fearing for his ns to get ruined by her presence.
Looking at the dipped part of the bed devoid of Melody, he could only hope she could hold her lot against such an opponent as Yoru.
"Clear out! Head to safety!" The soldiers yelled consecutively.
Screams and lingering gazes from the men with some who were inadvertently pulled by their partners.
To the dismay of the soldiers, some men had stood mesmerized by Yoru and were making their way toward where she stood still with a sheepish grin.
[I have idiots for citizens] Hisha facepalmed and clicked his tongue.
One of the soldiers mmed his hand on the flooring which made the ground shake and the terrain raised on the various parts with the men and pushed back¨Csweeping them miles away to get their thoughts back in one piece.
Few stalls were destroyed in the process and none could care about the damage while their attention was on Yoru.
[So that''s where I had gotten my geokic ability] Hisha had a smirk, getting a different perspective of what the ability could do.
Watching from another soldier''s perspective, he had a better view range at his disposal.
Scoffing at her opportunity to trap one of the men with her bare body, disappointment was marked on Yoru''s brows. "I was just about having some fun!"
"How about having some fun with us." The soldier with a scythe replied with a smirk and a flick of his finger¨Curging her toe to them out of her free will, swinging the weapon behind him with the right-hand grip.
Yoru tilted her head as though contemting his offer, secondster bursting into a peal of maniacalughter while spinning and covering her body with her Sux which offered a crisscross of ck ribbons with red stitches on the sides.
The ribbons wrapped around her body, covering her nipples and her crotch like a makeshift barely fitting crop top and skirt.
Her red eyes glowed with intensity as she inhaled.
Schwp!
Yoru held the arrow that had been coated with Sux which had almost pierced her in the shoulder.
Breaking it with her tightened grip around it, she red at the soldier who had attempted to make the first strike.
The soldier waved as though mocking her effort. "I hate bitches with no respect for the business of our lord!"
Yoru''s hair flew around her wildly at his remark. She had nned on attacking but due to a drain in her Sux after a task back at her secret haven, she needed to stall for time to allow her partner to sneak by unnoticed, and get the needed body for the sessfulpletion of their task.
Trying her best not to look in the direction of her partner, she had a smirk and tilted her head. "How about I show you how much of a bitch I can be?"
She swayed her hips in approach to the soldier.
Two more arrows were shot closely in the direction she was meant to step on, causing her to stop and stare at the coated arrow which blew up in her face almost immediately.
Throwing her across and crashing her into one of the stalls, she groaned at how quickly the explosions had been different from the one she held.
"Stand down bitch! I never told you toe any closer." The soldier sneered, pulling out three more arrows and repeating the process, ready to let go of the drawstring at the slight inconvenience.
[She''s onto something] Hisha rubbed his chin in thought, sensing something fishy with how slow her reflexes were inparison to Gregg''s.
[Gregg... Gregg!] Hisha eximed, disturbed that he hadn''t thought of it, there was no way the other hooded partner wasn''t close¨Cnot while his leader is in a tight spot.
Concluding on taking a bit of control of the situation through careful thought on the best possible way of using the mark, he chose a soldier.
[You n to go with it?]
''That''s right.'' Hisha nodded his head and rubbed his palms together.
His green eyes glowed the moment he got to his feet. ''Time to y some VR games and seek out the fucker!''
Taking control of the body of the soldier with the scythe, the soldier got on his knees which got the attention of all soldiers and Yoru.
nk!
nk!
The scythe dropped from the soldier''s hand with cracks spreading around it as it bored into the concrete floor.
Hisha had a moment of shock, wondering how the soldier had carried the weapon so easily without any form of visible strain to his hand or facial expression.
Shaking his head, he watched as a new interface popped up in front of him, showing the various techniques and skills that could be used with the weapon.
[Pull]
...
[Swipe]
...
[Spinning sweep]
...
[Sweep-hitbo]
Swiping through until he found the one he could utilize, he raised his head which in turn had the soldier jolt awake with the mark glowing as did his eyes.
When the guards witnessed this in awe, they all had a smirk, immediately understanding the true nature of the mark on them, and unleashed their firepower of various weapons on Yoru to distract her.
Standing in a spot, the possessed soldier looked above and heard strange sounds, prompting Hisha to order his jump to the roof.
Ccrkk!
[As expected] Hisha cackled upon sighting the hooded male holding onto a revived Gregg.
''Is it possible to bring someone dead back to life?''
[It is a dangerous ritual that needs any fragments of the remains of the deceased]
''Fuck! That''s why she fled with the remains of Gregg immediately after my distraction.'' Hisha concluded, feeling stupid for not being careful after seemingly killing him.
Scooping Gregg into his arm, the hooded male gathered enough momentum to propel himself to jump a great distance away.
[Why run?!]
Giving pursuit, the soldier jumped on several rooftops, swinging on a few concrete poles with the beard of the scythe.
"Don''t run, I just want to ask a few questions!" Hisha''s words resonated through the soldier''s mouth.
Looking behind him, the hooded male gave a wave of his arm while channeling a part of his Sux out.
Wasting no time, Hisha clicked on the ''Spinning sweep''.
With the soldier acting onmand, he followed through with a sweep in a tornado-like motion of his scythe.
Seeing that attack was almost as good as useless, the hooded male held onto his chest, feeling a thug of pain but ignoring it while still trying to evade capture.
[Weapon fraction]
[What''s that?]
[An added ability peculiar to your soldiers.
Any part of the weapon could be broken with the use of Sux, forming a replica of half its size.
The more it''s broken the greater its reduction in size and could be called back to the user''s palm to regroup and build itself to the original height]
[Ohoho! Who would have thought these soldiers have some sick weapon?!] Hisha whooped, hyped for what he could do with the information.
Increasing the pace of the soldier, a fraction of his Sux seeped out from the bottom of the metal scythe, raising it and bringing it back down on the knee.
As HTC had rightly said, the broken parts¨Cone in each hand morphed into a slightly shorter version of its original size.
Throwing one above his head and catching it, Hisha made the soldier hold the snath like a spear.
Whoosh!
The scythe cut through the air, propelled at great speed.
Turning around to inspect the hissing sound from behind, the hooded male was slow to react to the iing projectile.
"I''ll be damned!" He cursed and had his eyes wide with shock, clutching tightly to Gregg.

Chapter 101 A Sacrifice
sh!
The chine lodged into his shoulder.
"Aaahh!"
*****
Several miles away, Yoru sensed something wrong, sidestepping to the side just in time to avoid another shot to her head by a soldier''s arrow.
''How could he have been found out so easily?!'' She frowned and made a ring of mes around her, with embers hovering around.
Coating her body in mes, she created a cloud of smoke that spread out around her, diffusing and obscuring their visions.
Cough!
Cough!
"She mustn''t escape!"
Another guard made a spiral motion of his fingers, creating a whirlwind that dispersed the smoke.
Rushing in, some of them stomped their feet in disappointment, while others cursed at having lost their one chance at capture.
The marks on them began glowing as it signaled them that they were close to the original target they had been searching for.
Breaking off into smaller groups of 4, they all set out for different possible routes of escape while convertible at the location.
*****
Huff!
Huff!
The sounds of footsteps were made on the roof as Melody ran in search of the soldier who she had recognized as her master, who had chased after a hooded male.
Screeching to a halt, Melody made a mental connection with Hisha once more. ''Master?''
Looking over his shoulder, the soldier had a smirk but did notment, merely nodding as he loomed over the male.
Tilting her head to the side, she caught sight of another male who was unconscious and looked as though he was thrown to keep him away from the soldier.
Wanting to step closer to have a look, she was startled by the cackling sound of the hooded male.
"Step closer, if you dare!" He barked with a loud manicughter, spurting out blood right after.
The soldier had his feet on him and his right hand on the snath before proceeding to pull it out of the male''s shoulder.
A groan in pain and coughing could be heard which was followed byughter. "If you think you have it all nned, you''re wrong!"
Casting a grim look at him, Hisha had the soldier kick hard on the face with his boots.
Bam!
Blood sttered from his mouth as his face was forced to the side.
Not giving up on his ims, he continued even though he couldn''t move his face off the ground.
Using the corner of his lips, he gathered all the strength he could to move the muscles in his lips. "Your... s... s... sacrifice would be appreciated."
[Fuck your nonsense!]
Bam!
The soldier stomped on his chest, leaving Melody watching helplessly as she awaited her captors.
[You''re having the time of your life, aren''t you?]
Nodding his head to his system, Hisha had a smirk. ''I had always wanted a VR headset and to live a fantasy life and beat up some bad guys...''
[You seem to be the bad guy now, host]
HTC deadpanned, being able to witness and rey all Hisha had done before Melody had shown up, using the soldier''s body to his advantage.
''He deserves all that he got, aren''t Vandriks meant to be a lot harder to kill?'' Hisha whined, pouting at how bored the fight made him feel.
[Don''t feel too cocky, host. Be careful what you wish for]
Boom!
Hisha stood frozen, even though the crash had been done out of his range, he stared at the translucent screen from Melody''s eyes.
''What the heck just happened?!'' Hisha frowned, and immediately he was denied ess to the soldier''s mark.
Once the cloud of dust had cleared, Melody watched in horror as Yoru licked her grown ws stained with blood. The soldier''s head was ripped off from the body along with a broken part of the spinal cord.
''What the heck is with Vandriks and head ripping?!'' Hisha barked in disbelief.
He wondered why he couldn''t sense her arrival all the while and could do nothing but me himself for losing a soldier.
[Your perception can''t be as good when you are controlling a body. That soldier wouldn''t have been able to hold on to his life for this long if you hadn''t taken over]
"Ha ha ha ha ha!!!" Yoru''s voice resonated as her red eyes gleamed, opening her hands wide.
Bringing back her attention to the soldier''s body, she looked at the head as though he was still alive.
With dead eyes staring back at her, she winked at it, "did I ever tell you, you look ravishing in this new look... but..."
She rubbed her chin, smearing more blood, then casting a devious grin at Melody.
[Do not act rashly!] Hisha warned.
Being the first time encountering such a deadly aura seething off a person other than Hisha, she didn''t need to be told how she needed to react to the uncertain situation.
Gasping in a ruse surprise, Yoru looked back at the soldier, patting him on the pale cheeks, "Oh my! He''s missing a body?!"
Melody flinched at the words due to Yoru''s gaze unmoving from her direction.
When the hooded male got to his feet with great effort, Yoru punched him in the face to reset the structure of his neck.
"You''re useless!" She snapped in disappointment.
Crrk!
Melody winced at the sound and took yet another step back, knowing her limit, there was no way she was going to waste that on engaging in a battle she couldn''t win or risk getting into a much bigger conflict with the soldiers.
"My..."
Yoru shut her partner up with an ember erged in the size of a tennis ball, threatening to explode in his face, if he were to mention her with the title of her tribe.
"Get him back here, we have found a substitute!" She ordered in a hushed whisper.
Getting her advice, he walked towards the invisible barrier he had created around Gregg, carrying him in his arms once more.
"So, you are the one who dealt a blow to that useless swine!" Yoru scoffed, rolling her eyes.
''How the hell does she know that?!'' Hisha wondered, looking to HTC for some answers.
[Her connection is still something that you need to cut from its roots]
Although not the answer he was looking for, he had understood what she had meant by those words.
Regrouping with her partners, she stepped on the body of the soldier, "no one messes with my partners and gets away with it!"
Hisha could almost tell that she knew he had some sort of role in all that had happened and the fact that the soldier was controlled by him.
Setting the sole of her bare feet on the body of the soldier, she lit it up with a different colored me of blue and green hue.
Unable to stand and watch, Melody shot a water whip pping Yoru''s face to the side which greatly shocked her.
Gritting her teeth in anger, Yoru pulled her leg away from the ash of the soldier.
"I would love to see your purpose in this world." She hissed with her cryptical message before letting out a creepy smile.
Holding back her partner from engaging with Melody. Whispering from the corner of her lips to soothe his rage.
Melody watched as the deep cut slowly healed with the touch of Yoru and could only hope her lord could get some sort of clue from what they could see.
cing the severed head on Gregg''s body, Yoru walked behind her partner, feeling his chest¨Crubbing more of the blood on him and cing her head on his left unharmed shoulder.
Melody''s eyes were glued to the ash-covered floor, before theynded on the head of the soldier in the possession of the hooded male, "you''re a monster!"
"We all are." Yoru shrugged as she opened her eyes and smiled the moment she saw them surrounded by the remaining soldiers.
"My, my, you are all slow for a bunch of soldiers!" Yoru belittled them and clicked her tongue, stepping in front of her partner.
Not giving a moment of little talk with her, they all channeled their Sux for a final strike.
Deflecting their attempts, Yoru dusted her hands and blew on them. "You all almost ruined my nails!"
They all looked stunned, shocked by how easy it was for her to deflect their attacks even in her weakened state.
''How about I take over another soldier''s body and kill her?!'' Hisha suggested to his system.
[That wouldn''t work because they can''t be as evasive as you could in your own body. You would merely be sacrificing another for her ns]
''If I can get just an opening.''
[The rule still applies, don''t be foolish, host! Only your harem members can kill her!]
Fallon back on his bed, Hisha mmed his fist in rage.
''If that''s how it''s yed, the celestials are in for a show!'' Hisha fumed as he stared at the ceiling.

Chapter 102 How Far Can Jealousy Go?
"I mean no harm!" Yoru announced with a wicked grin, proving false to her im as she scanned her environment with a calctive gaze.
[Stand down, remember what we had nned] Hisha warned Melody.
Clenching her fists, Melody watched by the sideline as the soldiers all tried yet another attack on Yoru.
Unlike thest time, she twirled and covered herself and her partners in a dome of mes.
Once it had cleared up, there was no trace left of them except the echoing voice of her saying: "I will get back what''s mine, mark my words!"
''What''s hers? What the hell is she talking about, HTC?'' Hisha rubbed his chin in thought, feeling something was strangely off about his conception of the truth.
[That is still unclear even to the original host, this is one of the many puzzles you would have to figure out, yourself]
Facepalming, he rolled to his side to watch the screen, viewing from Melody''s perspective as all the soldier''s attention was drawn to her.
[46:39:07]
''Bingo!'' He made a gunshot gesture to the screen as he watched the soldiers apprehend Melody.
[They sure are a little slow-witted]
''As it should be.'' Hishaughed as the mark had influenced theirprehension, allowing them to easily identify and view her strange presence as ''normal''.
Turning around so heid on his back with his arms spread wide, he let out a chuckle at how easily influenced his n would be.
[Be safe] He bid a brief farewell to Melody.
Responding with a little nod, she hid her smirk with her hair cascading down her face while she was being led back to the citadel.
Opening his palm, the pearl he had kept safe in a secret vault in his wall was pulled in his direction.
Catching it in between his index and thumb, he examined its content, observing the faint flickers of glow.
''I think it''s best to see what the possibility of the pearl is.''
[That is correct, but how do you n on doing that?!]
''A certain mermaid could suffice.'' Hisha grinned.
*****
At the drawbridge,
Melody raised her head slightly to the creaking sound of the bridge being let down.
Trying to put up an act, Melody tried to resist the chains that had bound her ankles and wrists.
The nking sound of the metal cuff alerted the soldiers of her persistence.
"A beautifuldy like you needs not to provoke us." One of the soldiers sneered.
Melody looked around at the gloomy looks on each soldier, they had lost a member but she couldn''t understand why it had hurt them so much.
"I am neither trying nor would I try without a sure sessful rate." Melody spat out for the first time since they met.
Pulling her into the corridor, Melody groaned in pain due to the tug on her wrists and ankles.
"Could you be a little more gentle?" She hissed, wincing at the pain.
"Save the pitiful act till we get to our lord." Another soldier sneered, pushing her so she could walk faster and ahead of them.
Zui dashed towards a pir to hide the moment she spotted a white-haired female and some soldiers from afar.
Covering her mouth, she had hoped to stay out of their sensing range by coating herself with a cloaking spell.
''This is what you get for snooping around!'' She scolded herself in her thoughts.
Melody concertedly looked to her left, the very pir in which Zui hid, and smirked at the interesting new development.
Sneezing so loudly and letting out tiny droplets to sprinkle on the floor.
"That''s just disgusting!"
Melody harrumphed the soldier''s sentiment on her action, not caring about their views.
Pushing her once more, they were adamant about her moving along.
Aplishing a bit of her n, she sighed and pressed forward toward the throne room.
Peaking out of the shadows, with her hand on the pir, Zui heaved a sigh of relief, tilting her head at the confusing state of the event which was oblivious to the rest of the harem.
Slipping out sessfully, she rushed over to her meretrix-07 before she could be apprehended.
Unbeknownst to her were the droplets on the pir which she had transferred onto herself after adjusting her A-line silk blue dress.
*****
Staring at the door, the metaes opened it for their easy ess as she was pushed in.
Without another word, they left her in the dead silence of a throne hall.
m!
Melody jumped at the loud bang and searched the dimly lit ce.
Thud!
Melody frowned and tried to search for the originator of the noise. "Who''s there?"
Coating her metal cuffs with her water, she hoped that it would rust and give way, but the sound she heard for the second time.
"It isn''t about who''s there, but if you''d be alive to see who has been waiting for you." The voice sneered.
''Master?!'' Melody hoped with all her might that it was Hisha who had suddenly developed a mischievous side to take such a low method at getting her.
A crackling sound could be heard as the female stepped out of the shadows.
''Oh no!'' Melody thought in a panic.
*****
Beep!
Beep!
[Melody''s distress call]
ring at the screen, Hisha pulled on his pants, slipping them on.
''What''s wrong this time?!'' He mumbled, activating his visual interface.
The moment he viewed yellow glowing eyes inching closer and out of the shadows, he choked on his saliva, forcing him to open a portal as the quickest route.
[45:23:00]
Stepping in between Melody and Alta, he looked back to stare at Alta.
She had on a ck off-shoulder top with a heart-shaped cut out on her chest, revealing her ample cleavage which was pushed up slightly by her folded arms.
The top was tucked into a pair of tight-fitted pants torn on her knees and held together by a yellow belt. Her ck wings had hardened and were spread out as though she had nned on attacking if he had not stepped in at just the right time.
''Now that''s hot.'' Hisha drooled over her choice of clothing, temporarily forgetting what he had wanted to settle.
[I can''t believe I have to say this, but concentrate on your main objective, host! The subus has a low patience level]
''Fuck! Right!''
"Why are you here?" He questioned, trying his best to calm her down with his warm smile, simultaneously trying to distract her by obstructing Melody as much as possible.
"Darling, what''s going on?" She switched her tone to a much higher pitched and overly forced voice as a pout could be seen.
[Exp+3]
Hisha had a smirk on his face, satisfied that he could still get a reaction from her even in a situation like the one he found himself in.
Melody had averted her gaze elsewhere, weary about the re Alta gave whenever their eyes locked.
''Danger, she''s an epitome of darkness!'' Melody''s eyes shook with the realization.
Just like Yoru, there was something oddly strange about her intimidating power level.
Feeling insignificant about such great women who were after Hisha, she let out a sigh of disappointment in her condition and her ipetence to match up with any of thedies.
"Are you jealous?" Hisha teased, trying to diffuse the tension in the air.
Alta stared down Melody who was safely out of her reach because of Hisha in between them.
shing a crooked smile, Alta tilted her head and calmly replied. "We both know how far my jealousy goes to weaklings."
Herment was a p to her little pride, she had almost spilled the fact that she had caused enough damage once to not be in such a category.
Refraining from speaking, she bit down on her bottom lips, cursing at the subus.
"You made a promise to me, remember!" Hisha reminded, firm in his words as he red at her attempt to go against him.
Alta''s eyes widened in horror, shaking her head and her wings immediately softened to their original form as she folded them.
"I would never..." She mumbled, looking down after his warning.
Hisha facepalmed, shaking his head, with a snap of his fingers, the cuffs on her hand were let loose and dropped to the floor.
Melody was ted by the action, rubbing her wrists, after inhaling, the welts which had formed were covered with glowing blue water that healed her wounds and was absorbed by her body.
"You are another mermaid in here?!" Alta blurted out in blind rage, narrowing her eyes in suspicion. Her yellow eyes glowed as she could make out who Melody was.

Chapter 103 Blood Contract
"Alta, don''t do anything irrational," Hisha warned.
Melody took steps back, weary of an attack she wasn''t prepared for.
"She had attacked that puny fish chief!" Alta hissed as her wings curved ready to let out a barrage of hard sharpened feathers.
''How the fuck does she know about this?!'' Hisha internallyined about his system.
[It would seem she had been lurking, one of the benefits of being able to fly]
ring at Alta, he was sure to confront her on this, "were you spying on me?!"
For a moment, Alta was stunned, having forgotten that she had made a spill of her action.
Forcing her down in submission with his telekic binding, his eyes glowed in rage, "you are overstepping your boundaries demoness!"
Alta''s wings drooped, disheartened by her actions, and could only mumble. "I was trying to look out for you, dar¨C"
Tightening his grip on her arms, Hisha struggled to stand firm in his decision to teach her a lesson.
"I''m sorry," Alta muttered under her breath.
Melody winced at the disy, seeing herself in her position, wondering if that was how she looked to Hisha.
Taking a look at Hisha, she could see the struggle on his face. cing a palm on his shoulder, Melody hummed a tune into his ear.
Easing his grip on Alta, he turned towards Melody in confusion as to what she had done.
All she gave as a response was a smile, "she didn''t mean any of that."
Alta had her teeth gritted at her response, "who are you?!"
Melody closed her eyes and shook her head, it wasn''t her ce to exin since she had little time left.
[45:06:54]
Releasing his hold on her, Alta immediately had her palms used to support her from copsing onto the floor.
"Do not ruin anything, can you do that for me?" Hisha gave a cryptic response and hushed her.
Switching nces between Melody and Hisha, Alta gave a reluctant nod and a forced smile.
Offering his hand out to her, he had a warm smile as he stared down at her.
[Exp+3]
Taking the gesture, she was pulled to her feet and pulled in for a kiss to appease her.
Melting into the kiss, Alta wrapped her hands around his neck, pressing her bust onto him.
[Exp+4]
Melody watched with a stoic expression, looking down immediately as they use broke off in their pants.
Turning his attention towards Melody, he had a smirk as he made a telepathicmunication with her.
[They would soon make their appearance here, be ready]
Making his way towards his throne, he sat down with his legs wide apart and his hand on the armrest.
Melody and Alta watch him stare at the door while deep in thought.
Immediately after his gaze shifted in their direction, Melody was forced to her knees and the cuffs reattached to her wrists and ankles.
Alta raised a brow at the strange arrangement going on between them.
"My lord, it is I!" Mich''s loud voice boomed on the other side.
''Just who I was waiting for.'' Hisha''s grin widened.
With a clench of his palm, the metaes obliged and allowed him entry.
With his hand behind him, he crossed over the threshold and immediately he set eyes on Melody, he felt a sharp pain in his crotch.
Mustering all the strength he could, he walked past her as though he didn''t have an idea of who she was.
Melody on the other hand struggled in her clutches, snapping and hissing as he passed by and stopped when he was stopped by Alta.
Mich looked upwards to the overlord, bowing in reverence, but internally cursing at him.
Sneezing, Hisha rubbed his nose and let out a low chuckle, understanding what he had done.
[He cursed at you]
''I know, he still hasn''t learned his lesson.'' Hisha replied, having his fingers steepled and a malicious gaze ced on Mich.
Pretending as though surprised, he looked over at Melody, then at Alta¨Cfeeling a bit unsettled by her presence.
Alta folded her arms, not ready to budge except Hisha told her to.
Calling her over, Alta flew up the mezzanine to be by his side as her hands roamed his body, but her gaze was on Mich as though mocking his situation.
[Exp+5]
Mich cursed under his breath, trying his best to maintain hisposure while he put on a smile.
"My lord, wouldn''t it be best if¨C"
He was cut short when Hisha silenced him with his hand-clenching gesture.
"Thest person who had used such suggestive speech with me, had hisst breath taken!" Hisha grinned at the thought of Rean.
Gulping to the warning, Mich staggered back and took a side nce at Melody, biting down on his bottom lip.
He didn''t feelfortable speaking about his vulnerable condition while Alta was present.
"So..." Hisha leaned forward, "what would it be?"
Left with no choice, he conceded and nodded his head to the condition.
"I apologize for my insubordination..." He bowed slightly.
Alta squatted andid her legs to the side as she rested her head on his thighs.
"Is she the one you were trying to search for?" Hisha questioned, gesturing at Melody.
Acting on the n, Melody snapped at his gesture and struggled to be let loose as the cuff tugged at her when she charged toward Mich.
Taking three steps back, Mich grimaced at her aggressive nature of Melody but tore his gaze away and responded with a nod.
"Yes, my lord. Although, at the time, she was more conservative than now."
Alta took a nce at Melody and remembered their first interaction, she did look like what Mich had said.
''What''s going on that I am not understanding here?'' She narrowed her eyes at Melody.
Melody panted as she felt exhausted after her numerous attempts at getting her hands on Mich and reverted to being calm as she sat on the floor.
"My lord, could I ask where she had been found?"
"Straton, any other information is to be kept confidential," Hisha responded.
"Could you tell me, what you n on doing with her?" Hisha smiled.
Melody''s chest heaved as she red daggers at Mich as the thoughts of what he had put her through before her demise came rushing in.
Mich''s look turned sinister with a crooked smile, "I would treat her to a special treatment that would be far more beneficial for me than it would be for her."
Alta got to her feet, triggered by his speech which had been simr to what she had heard years ago while she was in danger before being rescued by Hisha.
Hisha shook his head at her attempt to cause a fight, it wasn''t in her ce to ruin what he had nned¨CMich was one of his valuable assets he needed to get to his ultimate goal.
Mich looked back at the two and was puzzled as to why they looked as though a conflict was just averted.
"You can do anything you want with her..."
Mich bowed in appreciation.
"But," Hisha snapped his fingers to which a floating glowing piece of paper zoomed towards Mich and spread out in front of him.
Weary about the n set before him, he took a step back so he could have a better look at the paper.
"My lord, what is this?" He asked, noticing the nk piece of paper.
"ce your hand." Hisha nodded to the paper.
"On the paper?" He questioned, skeptical about it.
''Where else do you think I could mean, you fish brain?!'' Hisha snapped in his thoughts.
Instead, he tilted his head and smiled, "you seemed to have forgotten the deal we had made in your chambers. I fulfilled mine, would you?"
Making a double take on the reference, Mich suddenly understood what the piece of paper could do.
"I would not take my chances, if you do decide to back off, I won''t hesitate to kill her in an instant," Hisha added.
Making an iplete clench of his fingers, Melody began to gasp and struggle to be freed from the hold that was choking her with every passing second.
[I''m sorry, but it has to go this far to be convincing]
With no way of escaping the situation, Mich pleaded for Melody to be spared. "I will do it, please let her go."
For a brief moment, Hisha had almost fallen for his seemingly empathetic approach, but knowing Mich, he could already tell that he had other ns for her, if he was willing to plead.
Stretching out his hand and cing it on the paper, he hissed as he felt tiny jabs under his palm.
Pulling it out as he watched the tiny blood particles were gathered and forming a swirl pattern that would bring out the true state of the contract.

Chapter 104 Lifespan Cut Short
Forming into small letters, Hisha watched as they formed the very thing he wascking¨Csubmission, loyalty, and honesty.
He stared in horror as Hisha called back the paper, pretending as though he was contemting it once more with a humming sound.
All the while, Alta red daggers at him and had her eyes glow so he knew of her intentions.
Mich''s sweat dropped as he looked away to avoid her never changing gaze.
For the first time, Melody had a small smile on her face as she watched him struggle to maintain hisposure.
Turning the paper so Mich could understand what he was being shown, Hisha forced him to his knees only by his re.
"Now tell me, why does it say youck these two essential attributes?" Hisha thundered.
With trembling hands, Mich clutched onto his pants and mustered enough courage to speak in his defense.
"I don''t need to know." Hisha cut him off again, clicking his tongue, cing his thumb on the signature right corner, he made a blood stamp extracted from the tiny jabs just as it had been for Mich.
As it hovered once more, it was set up in mes.
"It''s settled, you will reap the benefit of the contract."
Mich felt an overwhelming energy wash over him and almost instantly the pain he had felt vanished but his initial happiness was cut short when he felt his breath strain and his heartbeat quicken.
"It would ease up in a bit," Hisha assured with a grin.
True to his words, Mich felt a sense of relief moments after and was too stunned to speak.
Taking the initiative to exin, he leaned forward. "What just happened was an augmentation given to you in exchange for your loyalty and submission."
Mich stared at his palm which was seething of Sux before it vanished as soon as it came, a stranger to the new development.
"If you do maintain your quota, you will have ess to the augmentation and the pain that was caused by the mermaid is nullified. It''s quite embarrassing if my tribal chiefs are too weak to protect even their people..."
Hisha swirled his fingers as a miniature tornado grew on his finger. The boredom was getting to him and all he could do was sigh and shake his head.
Mich had understood his sentiment after thest visit from their overlord and how he was quick to spot the loopholes in their tribe''s security.
The word of Hisha defeating the one behind the attacks had spread wide among the merfolks and had caused a stir of rumors.
"I thank you, my lord, for such keen insight and assistance." Mich gave a slight bow.
Pushing back against the backrest, Hisha needed to stress the importance of what Mich had unknowingly signed.
"If you do fail to live by the traits youck, your life span would be cut short by a month, you would know when you feel a 5-second sharp pain in your crotch."
In front of Hisha was disyed the translucent screen of the life expectancy of Mich.
[2667 years, 11 months, 5 days]
Mich coughed at the life-threatening message and had a double take on what that could mean for him. "My lord, I have not..."
A sharp pain shot through his crotch and rocked his body as he coughed out a bit of blood.
[2667 years, 10 months, 5 days]
"Did I forget to mention the blood part?" Hisha sarcasticallymented.
Melody watched with wide eyes as her master''s n was going a little too well.
Alta grinned with satisfaction and didn''t bother hiding her mood from the Merchief.
"Now that you can know when you arecking these very traits, I have faith that you would carry out your task more efficiently!"
''What the hell did I do?'' Mich stared at the floor in horror.
"You are free to do as you like to the mermaid, she''s of no use to me." He waved his hand.
Mich gave a final bow as he red at Melody¨Cshe was the cause of what he was going through.
It felt more like he had sold his life to a devil¨Cin exchange for a much more powerful augmented body with his full health restored but at a cost.
''My ns, my motives?!'' He thought with his heart sinking in despair.
[I apologize for what would happen to you in a few hours]
Melody gave a nod, epting her fate, as long as he could get his ns in ce, she was more than happy to sacrifice herself once more.
Mich had just wanted to reach out to Melody''s hair when he was stopped by Hisha''s voice.
"If I were you, I wouldn''t be that foolish." He warned with a chuckle.
Mich looked back at Hisha, confused by his words but also doubtful.
Alta''s lips curved upwards, finally understanding the rtionship between the three of them and how he had just fallen right into the trap of her lord.
In a bid to spite him, Alta sat down on Hisha and had her ass perk up and her chin on his shoulder de.
Hisha chuckled and shook his head at her tactics, clearing his throat before speaking. "Do you think it was easy to capture your escapee? If you had not learned from the previous attack, then you deserve what you got!"
Mich was stunned at his words and stiffly turned his head to look at the cuff on her hands which glowed due to her mood of Melody.
He wondered why he didn''t pick up on it earlier, noticing a pink shimmer on the cuff as was the chain linking them.
"If her chains were to turn fiery red, there''s a high chance she breaks loose and her odd ability gets the best of you. If you can manage to keep her stable while carrying out your ns you are safe." Hisha exined.
Melody looked at Hisha in confusion, this wasn''t part of their ns and he was changing it to suit her situation.
[I can''t let him get away with torturing you since you aren''t needed to get him back to his original strength]
Mich had his fists clenched by his side, disturbed by the news but also grateful that he had been warned off making a huge mistake.
Letting out a sigh, he materialized water bubbles that engulfed Melody, fizz began to cloud the bubble until it covered the whole bubble.
Trying to connect to Melody''s visual interface, he was cut off after he got a view of her blurry vision and came into the darkness.
''What do you think he''s doing? It couldn''t be, could it?''
[It''s a possibility, host]
Hisha restrained himself from asking what he had done to her and only nodded his head in acknowledgment of Mich''s actions.
[44:29:08]
He stared at the timer and hoped it could go by faster and put an end to her misery.
"May you live long, my lord." Mich praised.
''To experience death somehow, so my misery is lifted!'' Hepleted in his thoughts.
To his dismay, he felt a sharp pain in his crotch but did well to hide the pain.
[2667 years, 9 months, 5 days]
''s, his thoughts would be his downfall except he fully changes from being a fish brain!'' Hisha hid a smirk by kissing Alta''s shoulder, trailing till he chose to bury his face in her cleavage.
[Exp+5]
''Ha! She also loves it.'' Hisha thought with pride when she held onto his head and bit down on her lip to stifle a moan.
Pulling away before he could be engulfed by his lustful tendencies stirred up by her, he tilted his head to the side to have a better view of Mich.
"Is there a problem, Mich?" Hisha pretended to be concerned about him.
"As I should be, thanks to your assistance, my lord." Mich forced a smile and requested to leave.
Creak!
The doors were opened, allowing his exit.
As soon as the door shut, he was surprised by a kiss from Alta.
Breaking it off as soon as she did, he wasn''t going to be overpowered by a subus, and as sure as the sky not going to let her influence him in his crucial period.
Leaning forward, Alta purred in his ear before dropping the bomb of her discovery. "She isn''t necessarily one of your harems but someone you created to do your bidding, right, my lord?"
Temporarily frozen in shock at how easy it was for her to deduce it just like Kritz, he gritted his teeth and had to think of a way out of the awkward situation.
"How about we make a deal?" Hisha whispered back, confident his n would work.
[Exp+2]
"What deal?!" Alta beamed with rekindled excitement.

Chapter 105 Spice Things Up
In Mertac,
"This is the mermaid?" Kenna cackled inughter as she stared at Melody.
Mich furrowed his brows, offended by her reaction.
Circling Melody who was still trapped in the bubble of water, sheughed at how calm and collected the mermaid was.
"Mich, are you sure you captured the right mermaid?" Kenna mocked, amused by how quiet Melody had been since her arrival.
Mich had his mouth gaped open in shock, disturbed by her quietness and reluctance to speak.
Pointing an using finger at her, Mich wished he could strangle her as he had done at the beginning.
"She''s hiding something of mine and I need your help to get the information."
Kenna stared wide eyes at the mermaid, finally understanding what he was talking about.
"Was it a sess?" Kenna gasped, her pearl wristband snapping and letting them all scattered about on the floor.
Melody watched them silently, determined not to speak and maintain her cover.
Mich facepalmed, and narrowed his eyes on Melody, punching on the bubble, "you must be having a time of your life."
"Leave us," Kenna cut in, her voice trembling, never leaving the sight of Melody.
Mich raised a brow at her action but said nothing in response as heplied.
Once she was sure that he had exited her hut, she engulfed the walls with her Sux and inched closer to the bubble.
"You aren''t a true mermaid," she revealed, narrowing her ears at Melody.
Melody immediately shared her connection with Hisha. ''master, someone knows!''
Hisha, who had his feet drumming on the floor, was quick to respond when a notification popped up.
[Melody, what happened?] He had immediately blurted out but went silent the moment he witnessed who was staring back at the screen through Melody''s perspective.
[Last host of the white pearl]
''I see.'' Hisha rubbed his chin, partially understanding why Mich would bring her to the predecessor.
[40:07:34]
''Master, she has an idea of what I am.'' Melodyined, weary about this elder''s knowledge.
[She doesn''t look like she is on the side of Mich. Test her]
Melody blinked her eyes in response, smiling at Kenna.
As though in a trance, Kenna''s blue eyes spread out her palm on the bubble, "you also have a limited time."
[That''s quite unexpected] Hisha observed.
cing her hand on the bubble, Melody gave a shy smile, unable to exin herself more than it was.
Kenna gasped and pulled away, "you''re... you''re... the..."
Before she could say any more, she dropped¨Cunconscious, her hold on the barrier dissolved.
Melody blinked several times, trying toe to terms with what she had just witnessed.
Groaning in pain, Melody could see her vision dim and images replicated in a sort of afterimage.
''What''s going on?'' She thought with a groan of pain.
[32:07:34]
Hisha furrowed his brow as he questioned HTC on why she was experiencing pain when nothing had been done to her and most importantly¨Cwhy her timer had reduced drastically.
[The repercussion of creating the same living entity twice had taken a toll on her lifespan and would decline greatly]
Staring with a stoic face at the screen, unable to express his emotions at watching her suffer the consequences of her creation once more.
''Melody,'' Hisha began, hoping to at least appease her before she could pass out, ''I adored every moment spent with you and I never regretted any, if there''s a way I could extend this, I would."
Melody''s gasp had finally caught the attention of some guards outside securing the premises.
Once he had stuck his head in, there was a sh of shock on his face before he alerted the rest.
Rushing in, most had gathered around Kenna, checking for some sign that she was still alive.
Spears were drawn to her outside the bubble, Melody unable to make out their faces but the pointed tip of them.
[Hang in there, you''d soon get your desired rest] Hisha reluctantly assured, knowing that wasn''t going to do much use to her situation.
[29:44:29]
Forcing a smile as he heard Melody chuckle at his words, knowing her end was close.
''I should kill more again, take them with me, my lord!'' Melody eximed in rage in her thoughts, forcing her right eye open.
[You can but make sure you only kill those who treat you badly at this moment!]
Huff!
Huff!
She struggled to breathe, internally cursing at the feeling and almost wishing she could live long like the rest.
Kenna was assisted by three guards covering her body with an encasement of water which made her hover in a sleeping position until they found a solution.
Mich rushed in at that moment, breathing heavily and eyes doubled in shock at the state of the two.
Pushing the guards in front of him, he rushed to Kenna''s side, "what the hell happened here?!"
All the guards were startled and looked at one another in confusion.
"You!" Mich sneered, dissolving the bubble. Although he knew he couldn''t touch her, he had other sinister ideas for her.
Taking a body count of the number of guards present, his eyes glinted with rage as he ordered they all have a share of what she could offer.
"You are not allowed to leave this hut until she truly dies this time!" Mich ordered as he took Kenna with him, locking the door behind him and coating the hut with a barrier formation with his Sux.
Hisha got to his feet in disbelief and disgust. ''What the fuck is going on?!''
[He had just ordered that they¨C]
''I fucking know! How dare he jump to conclusions without getting the facts straight, that olddy is still breathing!!'' Hisha barked, disheartened that Melody''s little moment would still end almost the same way she had died the previous time.
[25:03:57]
These words had an euphoric effect on all guards present at the moment as they dropped their weapons and began to unbutton their pants.
Pop!
Melody dropped to the ground with a thud, struggling to get to her feet.
[Do not cut off my connection!] Hisha warned as he stared at the visual interface, needing the right time to lend her a part of his Sux.
Using her elbow to push her up, she winced in pain and took in a breath of fresh air, a silentughter resonating off of her.
It almost felt as though she was slowly losing her senses at the sight of all guards either half-naked or fully naked.
[23:10:08]
Clicking her tongue, she didn''t bother pushing the hair off her face as she stared at the guards who she could see approach slowly.
"We promise to make this as pleasurable as possible, and as gentle as we can go." One of them spoke out with a creepy grin.
If this was a way for them to get a chance to mate with anyone, they were sure to take the opportunity with such a vulnerable and beautiful mermaid.
Managing to slouch while sitting up, she had her palms spread out as a way of keeping herself upright.
''You''re all going to regret doing anything!'' Melody sneered and smirked as she felt a hand grab onto her wrist.
Making a move to pull her, the guard was shocked by the sheer strength she possessed when she didn''t budge and still held her position.
Raising her head so she locked eyes with the guard, her eyes glowed and so did his and he let go almost immediately.
The others couldn''t care less about what had transpired and one of the guards covered her eyes with a cloth. "You wouldn''t get on our nerves twice!"
''It''s about time I intervened and this time make them aware of their cruelty and stupidity!'' Hisha smirked with his head leaning on his palm after getting a temporary solution for Melody''s delicate condition.
The rest held onto her legs, forcing them open, the sounds of lustful cackles could be heard when they ripped off her panties.
[Let them experience what coulde with a new experience, bite down on your tongue] Hisha smirked as he conveyed his ns.
Melody stilled as she stopped struggling, and proceeded to do the very action she had been ordered to.
An ear-piercing scream was heard as blood trailed from the corner of her lips.
For a second, all guards stopped in their actions, but had their lust cloud their judgment, and couldn''t care less what state she was in.
"As long as there''s a hole, there''s a way!" A guard cackled and nodded to the very one who had nestled in between Melody''s thighs.
Feeling the tip of a guard''s cock at her entrance, she trembled but couldn''t speak even if she wanted to.
Her mouth was made into an ''o'' as he thrust in with balls deep into her folds, having blood over his chest as some escaped her mouth.
Hisha let out a sinisterugh at the scene, snapping his fingers. ''Let''s spice this up, shall we?''
Chapter 106 Whats Your Status?
''Body switcheroo!'' Hisha announced with the snap of his fingers.
Ding!
[500 points deducted]
[umted points: 14100]
Melody felt a sudden rush down her body and upon opening her eyes, she looked down at her body being prated.
Stumbling back, she pushed away and looked at the other guards who were in a state of shock and confusion.
''Master?'' Melody called out as she stared at her naked male body which she had taken over.
[You''re wee] Hisha said with a smug.
"If you don''t want to do it, then we could continue." One of the guards pushed who ''her'' away.
"Mmm...uuuuhhh..."
Melody winced to the ghastly sight, finally understanding why her master had told her to bite down hard on her tongue, it posed a threat to speaking.
The guard who was in her body screamed at the top of his lungs could go in her body, unable to speak so he could tell what he was experiencing and that the real one they were meant to kill was right among them.
Forced down, with the wrist and ankles held by two others.
"Uuuuuuhhh!"
Thrashing about, and shaking his head, tears began to trail down as all method of exnation futile.
The guard who was ready to prate looked back at the guard and then back at who they all thought was Melody, "do you really want him that bad?!"
''He wants his body back.'' Melody thought in response, taking a step back.
[As you can see, I granted you the ability to switch ces with anyone who happens to have coitus with your current body. Your time is still limited but I want you to use it wisely!] Hisha lectured.
Hisha leaned back on his bed, ''finally someone would get how I feel when I first arrived here.''
[Don''t make an excuse for yourck of knowledge to keep up your act, host!]
''You''re lucky you refrained from using stupid as the numerous times before.''
[Unlike you all, I upgrade to the recent rtive information that is stored in my long term memory]
Rolling his eyes to how self centered his system was, Hisha sighed and looked at the visual interface.
He watched as Melody looked at her now muscr arms.
Without a warning, Hisha burst outughing when Melody''s eyes were temporarily shut her upon ncing at the host''s erection.
''It must have been shocking.'' Hisha sarcasticallymented.
[It would be the same as if you had gotten into a female''s body!]
''On the contrary, I would explore my body, get into all parts my fingers could reach before finally epting who I am.'' Hisha countered.
[How about I make that a reality, host?]
A wave of panic coursed through Hisha''s body but was masked by his nervousughter. "You can do that?"
[I was created from you innate desire for power...]
Sitting up on his bed at the revtion, he tilted his head as he contemted what that had implied, ''I created y¨C''
[If your desire has changed, so will the ability to be one, be granted]
''You''re kidding, right?'' Hisha chuckled, seeing it all as some big load of bullshit dumped on him.
To test his theory, he pretended to y along, ''would I still get all the power and fame thates with being an overlord?''
[Negatory, you could he assigned the body of a female with simr tastes or the most attractive and endowed body]
Hisha could almost picture the body that could be given to him as it''s new host, but was quick to shake his head. ''Nice try, but I have tons of strong women surround me, why do I need to give this up to be one of them?''
[...]
''How about we see what the new Melody does with her body!'' Hisha snickered.
*****

The door to the hut opened as the guards got dressed with a beaming smile on their faces.
Looking back was Melody who had been the first to back out from the degrading situation she had witnessed them carry out on her previous body.
Her former bodyid on the floor, wasted and dead. The sclera upturned showing the veins. Mouth, cunt, butthole filled to the brim with cum and the rest trailing down the naked body lying on the messy floor with clothes ripped and swollen nipples.
[Remember, this was the price the guard paid for trying to initiate this madness!] Hisha assured her in her thoughts.
Wincing to the memory of witnessing the act, she wondered how sick to the bone they could have been to actually carry out any sexual activity in the one ce that was bleeding profusely.
Turning her eyes away, once they all stepped out of the hut, Gran who had been specifically told to keep his eyes on the guards who were ordered to get rid of the mermaid inside, stood, waiting for them.
Sticking his head into the hut for examination of their duty, he stared in with a grin at the mess of things they had created and how unfazed they looked once he looked out at them.
What was much more amusing to him was the bright smiles on them amidst what they had done, but there was one guard in particr who looked and acted oddly different.
"Hey, you!" Gran beckoned forward with a flick of his fingers.
Melody looked to her side and then back at the chief guard, unsure if she was just getting in the way of the right person being called, stepping out of the way to allow more view of the others.
When he didn''t get a favorable response, Gran took it upon himself to confront his suspicions, walking up to her, "what is your name?"
Gulp!
Melody''s heart sunk at the direct question, hoping to get a response from Hisha.

Pesa stared at his back and felt a lump in her throat. While he was over her, she had expected him to forcefully have his way on her, but him pulling away was something strange after what she had done and said to him.
~~~ P. A. N. D. A. novel, we pirate others work and gain money from you broke ass people wanting free chapters on our site....
''Why?'' She gritted her teeth, unwilling toe to terms with his strange actions.
He had dubious thoughts crossing his mind on what he could have done to punish her. Reluctantly, he let go of her throat and got off her.
~~~ Assist us steal more chapters from the author by being a dumbass and buy us a Kofi through your different payment methods?
Deactivating his ability, he let out a sigh and his voice turned cold, "I don''t need your confirmation to know."
"You do have a motive for joining my harem and if it means bing the monster you so want me to be, I would dly do so." Hisha finalized and turned around, making his way to the door.

Chapter 107 A Fetish You Should Try
Drumming his fingers on the bedside table, Hisha got to his feet, letting out a sigh at how far gone the time had gone by.
[21:23:45]
[You could always turn on the visual and audio, host]
''I''d rather save my sight and hearing from the process she has to use.'' Hisha snapped, pinching the bridge of his nose.
[You have heard her in the act before, what''s so different now?]
Staring at the screen for a minute, Hisha closed his eyes. ''Just because I had to hear that, doesn''t mean I''m a fan.''
[You gained a fetish, one that¨C]
''Fuck you, HTC! It''s this freaking body!'' Hisha barked, disturbed that it had to remind him of his down moment.
[I doubt you''d want to do that to your system, except it''s the body]
HTC deadpanned as it shed a smug emoji with horns on it.
''You''re enjoying this, aren''t you?'' Hisha shook his head and walked towards the door.
[What or where are you headed?]
''Trust me, it''s nowhere as engaging as you think it will be.'' Hisha pulled open the door with his hand shoved in his pockets.
*****
Marienne tavern,
Laying down on the bed, Des'' breathing was ragged as he was asleep after the ''rigorous workout.''
Mira woke up with a gasp as she felt her face, ''It worked.''
Revealing Melody had taken over Mira''s body as her new host, she couldn''t help but grin from ear to ear.
Looking over at her previous body¨CDes, she looked back at her hands and grabbed her naked breasts. ''I got these back!''
Creating a dagger through freezing the materialized water in her hand, she looked over to Des, ''I can''t let you live and recall our night and get me found out.''
sh!
Des'' body had little time to react to the sh on the neck with the blood spilling on the bed.
Melody pushed back as a crooked smile made its way on her face as she grabbed onto her hair.
"That''s what you get for attempting to **** me!" Melody sneered at the body as she thought back to the body being the one who had gotten the first move on her.
She stared for a while, thinking through how fucked up and dead she would have been if not for the intervention of Hisha.
More than happy that he had also broken the rules with the mating procedure, without that, she wouldn''t have met Mira, who had given her a chance at experiencing the female body once more.
Scurrying away from the bed, she hissed as soon as the pain rocked her folds, causing her to drop to the floor, resorting to crawling towards the wardrobe.
''Why was I rough with her?'' Melody thought with regret and groaned as she managed to pull on the wardrobe door, using the handle to pull herself upward.
"I can do this." She muttered under her breath, making a clear frozen rod made out of water.
Spreading her folds, she inserted the rod and let out a moan the moment she felt its soothing effect.
Clearing her throat at how lewd she sounded, the awkwardness followed right after.
Choosing to distract herself by getting the avable clothing, she pulled out a daring outfit¨Cthe very one she could use to climb her way back into what she had lost.
*****
In the garden,
[This is what you meant, host?]
HTC observed its surroundings and then back at Hisha.
''Shh!'' Hisha hushed his system, spreading his arms as the cool breeze brushed past him.
[Why exactly are you out here in the open?]
Hisha let out a low chuckle at how inquisitive his system was, ''since you''re so smart, how about you guess what I came here to do?''
[...]
''Choosing to be silent, I see...'' Hisha chuckled, clicking his tongue and dropping his hand.
[...]
With a smirk, Hisha walked up to arge oak tree and ced his hand on its bark. "It is peaceful here, isn''t it?"
Looking over his shoulder, he smirked as he had easily pinpointed Pesa''s location.
Stepping out of the shadows, she rubbed her arm with a bashful look.
Her nightgown was in a transparent white dress that hugged tightly to her wet body.
Hisha''s eyes locked onto her hardened nipples, gulping at how tempting she looked.
[Exp+4]
Of all the harem members who could give him desire points, Pesa was one of the strangest and most unique versions which had struck his interest.
Noticing his gaze on her nipples, Pesa bit down on her bottom lip and grabbed one of her breasts, and fondled it to get his attention.
Hisha''s grin only grew as he turned fully to look at her as she tried to turn him on.
Pesa smiled as she watched him walk over to her in long strides. To her disappointment, he held her wrist and pulled her hand away from fondling.
"As I said, those don''t work on me if I am not in the mood or..." He narrowed his eyes at her and took three steps back.
"... you are trying to do this to gain something in return." Hisha pointed out.
She had not fully trusted him, this was a dangerous road he would be treading if he were to take her into the garden like a beast working on only pheromones.
Pesa stared at him in slight shock, disbelief clear on her face but vanished and was reced with a smile.
"I understand, my lord." She smiled and rushed towards him for a hug.
[Exp+2]
Hisha had his arms upwards awkwardly, unsure if he was meant to return the favor.
''HTC, is she trying to kill me?'' Hisha joked as he looked down at her hair, her face squished up against his chest.
[If you think you could die so easily, the Celestials could as well just take your IMMORTALITY!]
Internally facepalming at how sarcastic his system was, Hisha slowly eased into the hug, dropping and wrapping his hand around her waist.
''This isn''t so bad.'' Hisha smiled, weirdly remembering his crush back in his previous life in the record store.
Pesa giggled in his grasp, pushing on his chest as she stared into his eyes for a while before going on her tiptoes, kissing him on the lips.
[Exp+3]
Not wasting much time, Hisha pulled her upwards, to which she dly wrapped her legs around his waist.
Gasping the moment his erection touched her crotch, she looked at Hisha who had a smug smile at her shocked reaction.
Letting go of her thighs and helping her to stand up straight, Hisha turned his back and wiped down his face.
"Don''t start what you can''t finish," Hisha warned, pushing back his hair and forcing a smile to soothe her racing heart.
Pesa had her attention distracted with the fact that she had felt what she had tried to awaken, the mere feeling on her covered crotch, made her shaken with disbelief.
Hisha could tell that she had been in disbelief at what she had felt, "it isn''t as bad as you think it would be once you get to experience it¨Cif you experience it."
Pesa could only nod her head to the advice, but her eyes couldn''t help but stare at the tent in his pants.
"I just need some time to calm down," Hisha shrugged and turned so she could stop looking and ignite a fire that she might not be able to extinguish.
[Outdoor sex should be a fetish you should try, I assure you 100% pleasure!]
''What the fuck are you spilling?'' Hisha snapped, shaking his head at how unhelpful his system was in him using his logical reason to diffuse the situation.
[But you would need toplete your lustful desire stats if you truly want to escape being taken over by the original host if he determines you are doing it wrong]
"Lord Hisha?" Pesa''s voice called out to him, ready to help him with what she had caused.
__________
[Lustful experience: 20/20000]
[Fetish: 4/20]
__________
Rubbing his chin, he stared at the stats, seeing how far along it was for him, especially the lustful experience.
''This is harder than I thought. I can''t have sex randomly with some as trashy as Darcia!'' Hisha snapped, slightly disturbed by the reputation of the previous host.
Yet again, he felt her hug him from behind and this time, her hand stroked his crotch and a smile made its way to her lips.
"Let me help you get this to calm down." She whispered in his ear as she dipped her hand into his waistband.

Chapter 108 Why Making A Fuss?
"That isn''t necessary," Hisha whispered back, pulling her hand out and making sure there was enough distance between them.
Pesa stood in disbelief at how adamant he was about not engaging with her.
"I don''t want to leave anymore." She blurted out.
[What are you doing, host?]
''Shhh! I have this under control.'' Hisha assured.
"I''d love to see how well you can keep up that stance," Hisha replied with a smirk.
Pesa searched her thoughts, contemting what he had meant by those words.
Her head whipped up as soon as it dawned on her¨Cthe tournament and her ability to convince him she had truly changed!
"My lord..." Pesa''s voice had Hisha stop in his tracks.
Looking over his shoulder, he raised a brow at her reluctance toplete her sentence.
"How far do we have to go to be specifically chosen by you?"
''Technically, my system did choose a subus for me.'' Hisha had wanted to debunk her thoughts on the process of selection.
[One of the best choices you had been gifted]
HTC countered, recalling all that Alta had done for him up until his current time.
"All I want is for all of you to show your prowess and loyalty. I will not be held back by my harem." He warned, feeling he needed to be specific with his aim.
Pesa thought about it for a minute and nodded her head in understanding.
Inhaling and exhaling, Hisha''s mood lightened up.
Pointing at his crotch, he nodded to emphasize his point, "if you insist, you could have a feel of this."
Pesa''s lips broadened with a grateful smile as she walked up to him, getting down on her knees.

In Gad''s quarters,
Knock!
Knock!
Adjusting to his side, Gad looked at the door and tried to voice out his concern about who it could be.
"Could Ie in?" Kritz''s voice called out from the other side.
''Sure.'' Gad replied to his thoughts, disappointment washing over him due to his inability to respond well.
After his attack by a feral Kritz, his wounds and broken bones were still in their healing process.
The memory of what had transpired still flooded his thoughts and had him close his eyes in denial.
Zzt!
Gad''s eyes jolted open at that familiar sound, his mouth covered to prevent him from screaming.
"Was there a monster in here?" Kritz innocently questioned, withdrawing his hand from Gad''s mouth.
''The only monster is you!'' Gad responded as he hyperventted, trying his best to lean on his back.
Assisting him, Kritz suspended him in motion with his Sux and fluffed his pillow.
"There," he gently ced Gad''s head on it and had a big smile. "That should be morefortable."
Never breaking eye contact, Gad furrowed his brows and gathered enough strength to whisper and blow a transparent fluid-looking slime.
Kritz took a few steps back, weary about the substance but also intrigued enough to stare, hard and long at it as he watched him release it so it hovered a few feet above.
~It''s best you watch out for drops~ Gad conveyed as its first warning.
Raising a brow at the words he had heard from the fluid, he watched as a bit dropped to the wooden floor, eating its way into it with a sizzling sound.
Kritz''s jaw was slightly ajar, taken aback by the revtion.
"You have developed your ability since thest time we dueled." Kritzmended with a grin.
Using his brows to signify that he looks up at his transmitter, he coughed and covered his mouth.
~Fuck you! You had almost killed me, red eyes! Is there any way to speed up my healing process?~
As soon as the message waspleted, Gad clenched his finger and hardened it so it took the form of a ping-pong ball.
k!
k!
They both watched as it rolled towards Kritz''s feet and stopped in motion.
Gad shed a nervous smile, unable to exin that it was merely his way of countering the acidic effect of releasing the slime just like some of its drips.
Kritz burst into a chuckle, shaking his head at the chipped insult. "You sure have some balls, sheep brain."
With a nod of his head, he channeled some part of his Sux to his palm. "Let''s just say this is a thank you note for not dying."
p!
Gad''s face was forced to his right, and his mouth opened in disbelief.
"What in the actual f¨C" Gad paused in his words, the moment he understood he had said that out loud.
"You''re wee!" Kritz nodded, raising his chin in pride.
Trying his best to sit up straight, he was assisted to lie back down.
"Just because I allowed your face to heal rapidly doesn''t mean I would do the same to every part of your broken ass body!" Kritz grimaced at the thought.
"It''s best you wait it out so the rest spreads in due time and you can have full health back¨Cone, I could make you miserable again!"
Gad red at him immediately after he said those words, before bursting into a low chuckle. "I wouldn''t want your disgusting hands on me."
"Mind if I take back the stain on your cheeks?" Kritz countered.
With the look of horror in Gad''s eyes at the thought of resorting back tomunicating with his slime, he shook his head.
"I thought so too," Kritz responded, looking about the room for the first time, remembering how he had originally nned not to establish any form of interaction with Gad and just be a listening ear.
It was a small but cozy building, with its walls made out of blue bricks and various weapons holstered onto the wall.
"Do you even need these weapons? Weapons are for weaklings!"
Gad scoffed, "says the one who can bare his ws, what do you call that?"
Kritz rubbed his chin, tracing his hand around the de of an ax, "this looks too heavy, even for you."
"Would you stop with the mockery?" Gad sighed.
Shrugging at his request, Kritz intentionally kicked on some heaps of dirtyundry that were scattered on the floor. "I had thought even if your ability is disgusting, your hygiene wouldn''t."
Gad internally had a facepalm at hisment, feeling his words wouldn''t make a difference even if he tried.
Clink!
Kritz paused and had his leg frozen to a spot after kicking at numerous piles, his shocked gaze on a silver ne studded with Austrian crystal, tinum ting alloy. The purple tulip pendant got his attention in an instant.
"Kritz? Is there an issue?" Gad questioned with worry, observing Kritz''s strange pause.
Kritz''s mood darkened at the thought of what it signified, staring at it wasn''t going to convince him, instead he opted out of picking the pendant, feeling its authenticity.
''How is this possible?!'' He thought with wide eyes.
The moment he turned around the dangling pendant glistened with the little ray of moonlight augmenting its beauty.
Gad gasped in shock as he stared at the pendant, but was quick to revert to his stoic expression. "Where did you find that? I have been looking everywhere for it for some time now."
Kritz narrowed his eyes at the silly cover-up, "tell me with all truthfulness, I wish that this doesn''t blow up in your face."
Gad furrowed his brows at the threat he had perceived from Kritz''s words.
"I assure you, I was¨C"
Gasp!
Gasp!
Kritz held him by the neck, tightening his grip. "As much as I consider you a friend, don''t you fucking lie to me!"
"T... t... th... this... isn''t... how... you... treat... someone... in... my... shoes!" Gad managed to cough out, gasping for breath the moment Kritz let go of his neck.
Coughing profusely, Gad''s eyes were shut before he opened them once more.
Kritz''s red eyes were glowing as they scanned the pendant. ''This had been one of the clues lord Hisha had been searching for, but how did it¨C''
Raising his head so he peered into Gad''s eyes, he saw nothing but fear and confusion.
"Where did you get that?" Kritz questioned calmly, hoping for a favorable answer.
Blinking his eyes, Gad stared at Kritz, "get what?"
With his brows twitching, Kritz stared at Gad in disbelief, wondering if it was possible to develop amnesia in just a few hours of interaction.
Pulling on Gad''s cor, his fangs protracted as did his ws. "You can''t pretend after what you just said earlier!"
Gad stared at him with shock and fear, "I don''t understand why you''re making such a big fuss and you just tried killing me!"
Kritz searched Gad''s eyes, clutching tightly in his palm the pendant. ''Something isn''t right.''

Chapter 109 You Gave Me, Remember?
Raising the pendant so Gad could have a better view of it, Kritz gritted his teeth as he yelled, "what the hell is this doing in your possession?!"
Gad raised a brow and bit down on his bottom lip to stifle augh.
"You tried to kill me because of that trinket?"
''Trinket?!'' Kritz''s brows twitched and involuntarily let out augh in disbelief.
The very object that would help his lord in his search for Dalsa, yet a guard had made a degrading remark?
Inhaling and exhaling, Kritz forced a smile, "could you tell me how this had gotten into your possession?"
Rubbing his chin, Gad narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "Why do I feel like this is worth something?"
"It would be in your interest if you answer the question I ask so politely." Kritz countered.
Clicking his tongue and knowing he stood no chance in dueling to keep the information to himself, he offered his hand to propose a deal.
"If I do tell you, you have to give me five thousand silver coins a month from now."
Kritz''s brows creased at the condition, "are you trying to make some sort of transaction for information?"
Shrugging, Gad grinned. "Let''s just put it up as a price for the damages I had sustained from you in just a few days. Besides, you have lots of spare money that you could waste on me."
"Weak! Robbery!" Kritz snarled under his breath.
Cupping his ear, Gad pretended as though he couldn''t pick up on what had been said and asked him for a repeat.
"You''re ying with fire..." Kritz warned, shaking his head at how dangerously low he was going in testing his patience.
He began to question why he had chosen to visit Gad at the time, staring at him as he contemted his next step.
"You do know I don''t fear death, it''s inevitable, or else how would I and the others have been chosen to serve our lord?" Gad reminded with a wiggle of his brows.
Letting out a sigh, Kritz shook his head. "You really are as cunning as before."
Giving a mocking bow to Kritz, he raised his head and smiled. "How else would a moron like me survive amongst you prodigies?"
Scoffing at his attempt to get in his good book, Kritz readily agreed in exchange for precise information and why he has the pendant.
"Let''s shake on it." Gad opened his palm, with his palm glowing with his Sux coating them.
This was an unbreakable bond between the two parties until both sides fulfilled their end of the bargain.
Kritz stared at his hand, "you really prepared ahead of time."
Shaking his hand, Gad eagerly awaited his response. "This shouldn''t be too hard, red eyes!"
"You could be dead if I wanted to." Kritz sneered with a ruse smile.
Cringing to how disturbing that was, he masked his nervousness with a low chuckle.
Reluctantly doing the same to his palm, Kritz shook his hand with a crooked smile.
Gad had not realized what he nned on doing until he felt his vice-like grip tighten.
"Hey! Hey! I said shake not squ....eeeeeeze!" He eximed as soon as Kritz let go finally.
"Now spill!"
Exhaling and facepalming, Gad wasn''t all too pleased with how quickly Kritz needed the information and how he was oblivious to the truth.
"Remember when you went on a rampage?"
Kritz folded his arm and had a deadpanned look.
He was in a feral state, that had temporarily blocked out his reasoning, there was no way he could remember anything apart from what he had been told.
The very part in his life that made him feel vulnerable just like he had felt as a child with no memory of where he had been or who he was.
Nodding his head, Gad looked awkwardly to the side. "That''s right, you couldn''t."
Wheezing at how Kritz took his words, he gulped the moment he felt the chilly environment seething off Kritz.
Comporting himself, he cleared his throat. "You gave me the pendant."
Sweat dropping at how well Kritz would take the information, he switched his gaze every once in a while to his wall or the ceiling.
"What rubbish are you spilling?" Kritz snarled.
"Woah! Woah! Take it easy, red eyes, I said nothing but the truth." Gad raised his hands in surrender.
His heart pounding at how sinister Kritz looked, ''I was meant to be resting up, a good nice bath if possible!''
"If it''s the truth, how the hell could I have been the one who would give you the pendant?!"
"You''re asking me?!" Gad barked, sick and tired of being doubted and used.
He had remembered when he had tried to approach Kritz as did Loid. At thest second did they realize that was one of the worst decisions.
"You had grabbed my neck as you had done," Gad held his neck as he remembered. "I''m starting to wonder if that''s your best move!"
Kritz snarled at his mocking words and took a step forward.
Gad pushed back,ughing at how Kritz had been triggered. "All I can say is that you had pulled me far into the forest and you shoved the pendant into my pocket..."
Kritz rubbed his chin, shocked at the revtion and confused by what he was listening to.
"... I had thought you wanted me to keep it safe for you and probably you were in your right senses¨Cno offense!"
"Offense none taken." Kritz hissed with uninterested eyes.
Exhaling, he shook his head as he attempted to continue with his exnation.
"I had wanted to ask what it was, but then you pulled your special move on me," Gad had his palm around his neck to mimic the gesture.
Rolling his eyes, Kritz coated his hand with his Sux and red, "Any more of that, and I assure you that would be yourst!"
Gulp!
"Well, that was thest thing I remembered before waking up at the infirmary. Figure out the rest of the missing puzzle that had put me in danger, smartass." Gad shrugged.
Kritz raised the pendant in his palm and a newfound mystery had unfolded¨Chow was he in the possession of something that had been lost?
"Now do you understand why I charged you for my ''truth''?!" Gad scoffed, raising his chin in pride at getting him in such a confused state.
Kritz nodded involuntarily, still in a daze at the information.
"Are you alright, though?" Gad asked as he tilted his head in worry.
''What the heck is wrong with you? He tried to kill you for the second time!''
"Could I take this with me?" Kritz inquired.
''If I do say no, what''s the assurance that it wouldn''t mean I lose a limb?'' Gad thought in fear.
"I had charged you for that while we made the deal, it''s all yours for the keeping," Gad replied.
"Right choice," Kritz said with a smirk.
Gad did a double take on its meaning, "it was a test?"
"Our deal is settled," Kritz replied
"What?" Gad scrunched up his nose in confusion.
Without another word, Kritz turned around to leave.
Whoosh!
He disappeared with a cloud of ck smoke in his wake.
Cough!
Cough!
Gad blew on the residue of ck smoke and frowned at how rude that was.
"You feral b¨C" He paused the moment he caught sight of stacks of silver coins where Kritz had stood.
Crawling down his bed, he gawked at the height and width. ''Is this...''
Sitting cross-legged on the floor, he picked one to check its authenticity by biting on it. "It freaking is!"
Pulling the coins to his side to hug the huge pile, heughed hysterically and was overjoyed by his quick way of gaining something better than the pendant.
"You can take the stupid pendant, it wasn''t mine anyways!" Heughed out loud, looking at the coins with pride.
*****
Walking through the hallways, Kritz continuously stared at the pendant, racking his thoughts on numerous possible oues.
It was a lot harder trying to get those who had been able to work their way into his head and manipte him to do such while he was in a nk state.
''Did someone take advantage of my feral state? Was I controlled for a bigger purpose than what meets the eye? What was the reason it was given to Gad?''
Shaking these thoughts off him, he sighed, ufortable with how confused he was about what was going on with him.
''Start from the very beginning!'' He chanted in his thoughts, thinking of the one person who might know.

Chapter 110 Invitation To A Feast
''Why do I feel like I''m being watched or followed?'' Hishamunicated with his system as he cautiously looked over his shoulder as he paced back and forth in the garden.
[That''s because you are!]
The ruffling of the leaves stopped before Hisha looked over to the intruder.
"My lord," Kritz spoke before he could be mistaken as an enemy and sustain any harm by Hisha.
Hisha exhaled in relief, "it''s just you..."
Kritz bowed, his brows knitted and having a nk expression while deep in thought.
"I had been curious about something, my lord." Kritz had his attention on the floor.
''This isn''t good.'' Hisha deadpanned.
"Was there any strange behavior other than what you had told me?" Kritz muttered under his breath.
"Was there anything I might have missed?"
Unable to exin how he feels about the issue, he shook his head. "There is no way of me recalling my nk period."
''He''s trying to gain something, but what?'' Hisha thought in suspicion, circling Kritz and studying his stiff demeanor.
"Was I manipted?" Kritz dropped the bombshell of a question.
"You weren''t curious after you gained your reasoning, what had changed?" Hisha countered, rubbing his chin.
Shoving his hand into his pocket, he stretched out his hand towards Hisha to have a close-up view of the pendant.
[Memory recovery - 10%]
Hisha staggered back, clutching at his chest, unable to control the flickering glow in his eyes.
"H... how did you get that?!" Hisha hissed and coughed as a flood of bits of information raided his thoughts.
His eyes nced in different directions, almost as though he could see it y out in front of him.
Even though Dalsa''s face was blurred out for unknown reasons, he could see her coughing while being trapped in a burning building with her hand stretched out to him¨Cin her palm was the pendant.
''What the hell?!''
~Take this... I... I''m... sorry... leave... while... you... noo!!~
~Dalsa!!!~ The original host yelled in yearning but was held back by a bright light, pulling him away from assisting in any way.
~Cultivate your abilities, only then can we allow you to get who you wish to save~ voices superimposed into one, causing an echo as Hisha struggled to get free from their grasp.
Two scenes continually repeated in his thoughts¨CDalsa in danger and the fact that the previous host was forced out of helping reach by an unknown force.
''Who the fuck are ''we'' and that light?!'' Hisha thought in rage, hoping to get an answer from his system, hating the fact he was put on the edge for little information.
[Until you''ve regained 70% of the original host''s memory, that information is outside your jurisdiction]
Punching on a tree in rage, causing a hole through which his hand passed through, Hisha red at the interface, unintentionally doing so on Kritz before he could get closer to him out of worry.
"My lord?" Kritz repeated till he got a response from a dazed Hisha.
''What was that? Why couldn''t I still view her face?! Was she the reason the previous host rebuilt Kurg?''
[Until you''ve regained 70% ¨C]
''Forget it!'' Hisha snarled, already getting to his breaking point.
Kritz stood awkwardly, waiting for his lord''s anger to reside.
Wiping down his face, Hisha reluctantly epted his restrictions and opened his palm to get the pendant.
Understanding his request, Kritz walked over, still cautious about Hisha''s unstable emotion at the sight of the pendant.
Taking a few steps back, Kritz questioned once more, feeling Hisha would have an idea.
"Yoru..." Hisha muttered under his breath, realizing she had not only messed with his reasoning while in the feral state but might have done something more sinister before his arrival.
"There was one who had indeed influenced your thinking."
Kritz tumbled to the floor in shock and disbelief. Clutching onto his hair, he shook his head at the news.
''What''s his story?'' Hisha wondered.
[It has to be in realization with the pendant and how it got into his possession]
Offering his hand to Kritz, he wasn''t going to take a no for an answer.
Kritz exhaled and forced a smile, taking the gesture as he was pulled up.
"How did you find this, after so many years?" Hisha inquired.
Kritz''s face fell, knowing that his words would be implicating several others he had not wanted to be involved with.
''I had stumbled on it in my clothing, the very one that I had worn during the hunt.''
As Hisha turned it over to see an inscription of a ''D'' his suspicions only grew on the true nature of the pendant.
"We will get to the bottom of this, together," Hisha assured with a smile.
Nodding his head in agreement, he could only hope that he would find a way to get ahead of his newfound weakness.
"It''s about time we train together, as in old times." Hisha patted Kritz''s shoulder, trying his best to lighten the tension.
Walking past Kritz and beckoning him to the sparring hall with a chin movement.
*****
Boom!
Huff!
Huff!
Kritz hyperventted, one of his eyes closed as he tried his best to regte his breathing.
Yawn!
Hisha rolled his eyes, slightly bored of the futile attempts of Kritz to have a single hit on him.
"Are you going too easy on me, Kritz?!" Hisha teased with a big grin, spreading out his arm and flexing his biceps.
Kritz wiped the corner of his lips, hissing the moment he felt a sting from the injury healing on the side of his face.
[Weren''t you a little too much, smashing his head and dragging it like some rag doll?]
''Tch-'' Hisha scoffed and had a smirk, knowing Kritz was plotting different ways of implementing his next n.
Kritz looked around and was just d about the ever-changing and repair of the whole facility.
The sparring hall had been morphed into a dimly lit enclosed field littered with gore, unidentified suits, and body parts of soldiers and skulls.
"How do you see the new change?" Hisha questioned with a grin.
The air which would normally be soft and carry a gentle breeze is now deafeningly loud with buzzing sounds and a quick switch to silence at unusual intervals.
Knowing he was fighting a battle he couldn''t win, he was as determined as he could be to at leastnd a hit on Hisha.
Coating his whole body with Sux, building enough momentum for onest attempt.
Knock!
Knock!
Hisha looked towards the door, internally facepalming at the interruption.
Whoosh!
Grabbing the wrist of Kritz, Hisha clicked his tongue as he gave an uppercut which sent him flying and tumbling several feet away.
"That doesn''t work on me, you have to think of better tactics." Hisha shook his head, walking over to the door.
Kritz sat on the floor, shaking out the dirt on his coat and hair.
Click!
"To what do I owe this special visit?" Hisha questioned, still holding the door to prevent Wae from peering in.
Taking a sniff of the air, Kritz growled, disturbed by Wae''s presence and motive.
"My lord, may you¨C"
"I already know I will, so you can stop with all that," Hisha interjected, hiding his displeasure with a deadpan look.
"I had wanted to personally invite you to a feast in Winst, in your honor." Wae grinned, hoping he was as convincing as possible.
Looking down the hallway and then back at Wae, Hisha tilted his head, "and you are telling me this, why?"
"After your promation on my tribe, I lost certain privileges that were held by my predecessors. Now I have to do some tasks personally." Wae''s mood dropped as thought back to how this could get an emotion from the overlord.
"As it should be for your foolishness." Hisha snapped without a second thought, his brows creasing at the sight of Wae.
[That was quite direct with no mincing!]
Hisha had thought Mich was an annoying itch on his neck, but with Wae standing in front of him, he thought of him as an inch on his pupil that is almost impossible to get rid of without causing unfathomable damage.
''Something isn''t right with him.'' He felt some sort of uneasiness at the true motive of the Lycan tribal chief.
Wae''s grin only grew, "I do understand your decision, my punishment was worth it."
"When''s the feast?" Hisha raised a brow.
"A day after the tournament tomorrow." Wae smiled sheepishly.
Nodding his head to the answer, Hisha looked back at Kritz who looked prim and ready to engage.
Shaking his head, Hisha looked back at Wae. "If I sense something unusual..."
Wae''s heart thumped at the thought of what sort of condition was to be proposed by Hisha.

Chapter 111 Jade Pendant
Making a thrusting gesture with his arm through an object, he gave a creepy smile Wae''s way.
Wae took a step back in shock and fear, "I would never, my lord!"
Pushing back his hair, Hisha had a wicked grin. "Sure, I was merely joking..."
Wae chuckled to hide his nervousness.
"... that''s if all goes ording to normal arrangements and not out of the ordinary."
Gulp!
Kritz red at the door, understanding Hisha was merely trying to shield him from getting into a brawl with anyone.
"Now, would you get the hell out of my vicinity?! You reek of dead bodies!" Hisha pegged his nose and blew at the air.
Wae''s face was contorted in displeasure but had to force a smile. "Of course, I would take a bath, my lord."
m!
Dusting his fingers, Hisha looked back at Kritz who seemed to be boiling with restricted actions to be taken against the tribal chief.
"My lord, his invitation sounds too suspicious and nned." Kritz voiced his concern.
Picking up a towel from one of the s-hooks on the wall-mounted metal bar.
Throwing it over his shoulder, Hisha rubbed his hair before he replied. "Since when was that a problem for me?"
[Overconfident host!]
''I learned from the best.''
[...]
Kritz went silent at being reminded of who he was serving, "I apologize for my initial outlook on it."
Waving his hand, Hisha nodded his head, needing to seclude himself so he could view Melody''s progress after such a brief break in transmission.
[19:34:44]
''Thanks, HTC.''
A satisfied emoji was put up as a response and a heart-blowing it was to the right.
Hisha cringed as he witnessed his system trying its hardest to get on his nerves.
"That would be all for t¨C"
Bam!
Hisha stared at Kritz''s fisted fingers caught by his palm. Even he was equally shocked by his reflex since he had rxed his guard and was about to turn to leave when he was attacked by Kritz trying his best to get his goal.
"Aaah!" Kritz groaned in pain as Hisha''s grip tightened while pushing against his.
Crrk!
Momentarily looking down at the cracks forming beneath his feet, he gawked at the strength put in trying to force him to submission.
"Ohh! Are we testing our strength?" Hisha had also gotten what had been the thought in the cracks.
? Adding a little more effort, Kritz''s legs gave way, forcing him to submission and on his knees, letting out a yell in pain before giving up on the struggle.
Bam!
A kick to Kritz''s side had him thrown once more to the far end of the room.
Bang!
Hisha winced at how exaggerated that felt even to him.
''Isn''t he like the strongest the previous host selected, trained as his closest friend and right-hand man?''
[Are youparing a Vandrik''s iplete prowess with an immortal with your unique ability?]
Internally facepalming at the words ''iplete prowess'', it was the same Kritz that could still go head-on with seemingly strong individuals.
Groaning, Kritz held his side and let out a low groaning chuckle. "I still have a long way to go."
"Who would have thought you''d resort to a sneak attack?" Hisha teased, watching as Kritz''s wounds on his side slowly healed.
''Vandriks do heal at a rapid pace, but why didn''t Gregg and the other counterpart?''
[They are connected, sharing and giving Yoru a fraction of their energy had weakened their regenerative capabilities¨Cneeding a longer time frame and a medium]
"I will get a chance one day," Kritz vowed with burning desire.
p!
p!
"I would greatly enjoy that moment," Hisha replied.
Calling on his status, he stared at the user interface.

''Let me guess, my Sux depletion is because of Alta and majorly Melody''s existence.''
[That is correct]
''Hmmm...'' Hisha exhaled.
Taking a nce at the others, his eyes were stuck on his points.
''HTC, I never authorized anything that requires a deduction.''
[You did, but you just don''t understand it]
''What was that?''
Not wanting to speak without its host figuring it out, it chose not to respond.
''HTC! HTC!'' Hisha hissed in his thoughts, hoping to get a response.
Pinching the bridge of his nose, Hisha chose to let it slide and focus on leaving.
Stretching out onest time, he pulled on the door handle, looking over his shoulder. "Keep up with it, and you just might get a reward from me."
Kritz''s lips curved upwards as his mood ted. ''I will strive to be stronger to be a pir for your goals!''
*****
In Mertac,
The news about the death of a guard had spread like a raging wave.
"He had been secretly mating with a maiden..."
"It''s no surprise that he''s dead, he had iting."
"What about the maiden?"
With a hood casting its dark shadow over her face, Melody looked to her left and then to her right as she pretended to be interested in purchasing a m shell ne from a stall.
Sweat dropping at how they hadn''t gotten a glimpse of the mermaid in question, inadvertently Mira¨Cthe body she was currently possessing.
[What are you doing at the market square?]
''I... I... umm...''
Hisha rubbed his eyes so he could be sure he was seeing a female''s hand, he hadn''t expected her to be so quick in her change, and out in the open.
[No wonder you were so eager to leave with that mermaid.] Hisha chuckled.
''I had no choice.'' Melody spoke in her defense.
Rubbing his chin, Hisha could finally understand why he had gotten a deduction in his points.
"The tavern owner was taken in for questioning."
Melody''s head whipped in the direction of the middle-aged merman that had spoken with a grin.
Nudging his friend in the side as he continued, "it''s about time they punish the very person who condoned the act! A big win for us!"
Melody let out a sigh of relief, confident in the truth being obscured.
"Wait, wasn''t it revealed that attributes of the maiden could be a sign we all should be weary about and report to the guards?"
Melody''s heart thumped hard, and her breath hitched at the info, holding onto her trembling hands.
''I me the original host of this body, she was too flirtatious!'' She screamed in disgust, disturbed about maintaining a low-key profile before acting on her new ns.
Repeatedly telling herself that they were speaking only due to a meaningless point of reference.
The arguments between the two had her exhaling in relief, not until one had been so confident to blurt out her description in great detail.
"Light blue long locks with a fringe and bangs." He argued.
All who had been eager to get a scoop on what he had to say suddenly had their hopes crushed.
"How dare you waste our time?"
"You described a fraction of our mermaids!" A draper snapped, turning his attention back to his stall.
Melody let out a sigh of relief, d he had nothing but a vague lead.
"I was there in that tavern, and the owner was a close friend of mine." He pointed an using finger at all of them.
''No, there''s something much more he knows, I can''t let this continue!'' Melody''s eyes glinted with a glow.
"Thank you, but I''lle byter." Melody bowed with a bright smile, avoiding making eye contact with the jeweler.
"Young miss, do have it for half the original price¨CI would give you for 40 silver coins."
''I never wanted to buy this shit, I needed a cover while I gathered my information, but my cover is about to be blown!'' Melody''s brows twitched.
"No, kind Sir. I realized I''m short of a few coins." Melody gave a nervous chuckle.
With a downcast look, the jeweler nodded his head.
cing a gold coin on the counter, Melody looked away so she wouldn''t catch a glimpse of the jeweler''s bulging eyes on the coin she ced.
This was the very coin and a few more she had found in Des'' and her current host''s clothing.
Knowing of her limited time frame, there was no point in hoarding them.
"I don''t need the ne anymore. How about you use this to get a more open space to get settled?" Melody advised her attention on the merman that was gathered around by curious merfolks.
She needed to act fast before he could spill more than was necessary, banking on his need for attention to exin at length how he might have met the tavern owner.
With tears brimming in his eyes, the jeweler ced a koi fish ovepping a jade pendant in her palm. "Thank you."
Nodding her head, a smile graced her lips, clutching the pendant, she shoved it into her pocket.
Looking over at a fountain in the middle of the market square, a sinister idea came to mind.
Chapter 112 Cause A Bit Of Chaos
With a careful movement of her hand while walking past as quickly as possible.
The fountain stopped mid-fall, bursting into tiny droplets and getting everyone''s attention.
"What''s going on?" A mermaid pointed at the suspended water in the air.
Coagting, tiny droplets formed a dagger that shot through the air with great speed.
Ssh!
The attack Melody had created was deflected by the very merman that had some information.
He was still in the defensive position and exhaled as his eyes searched the crowd for any suspicious individual who could have done so.
There were murmurs all around as they all feared another attack, scurrying off to safety.
Melody quickened her pace, cursing at the fact that the merman also possessed the ability to manipte his Sux in the water.
There were only a selected few who could use their Sux effectively without getting any setbacks.
''This doesn''t look good!'' Melody rushed through an alley to her left.
Whoosh!
Looking above and on the roof was the merman walking casually with his hands behind him.
? The moment they locked eyes on one another, she put in more effort on racing out of his range while holding onto her hood tightly.
Picking up on what she nned on doing, he drew water around his fingers and froze it, throwing it in her direction.
"It''s you, isn''t it? You picked just the right spot for a little duel!" He cackled with a hint of amusement.
Unable to dodge due to the narrow terrain, Melody let out a groan in pain at the ice w digging into her shoulder at themand of its user.
"Come on, I just want a brief discussion with the maiden that tried to pathetically kill me!" He mocked with a burst of hystericalughter.
''Fuck no! Who the heck is he?!'' Melody panicked, realizing she had underestimated hidden prodigies in the marketce.
Sliding on the rooftops while freezing it to aid his smooth movement, he looked down the narrow pathway through which the hooded female ran through.
Clenching his fingers as his gaze was ced on her injured shoulder.
''Master!'' She screamed out in her thoughts, hoping to get his help, tumbling over when she tripped on her cloak.
Hisha''s brows furrowed as he witnessed a distress call being put up by Melody, immediately connecting to her visuals.
Huff!
Huff!
Melody got to her feet, pushing her feet to run once more.
[What the hell is going on, what is this ce? What are you doing¨C]
Whiii!
As did Hisha to the noise, Melody looked over at the merman who had thrown more condensed projectiles her way.
"I love a good chase!"
Halting in her steps and jumping back just at the right moment, she was able to escape the attacks by a hair.
It all began to register on Hisha that she was in danger and had been running from the opponent.
''Ice-like abilities on the offense, huh?'' Hisha rubbed his chin, hoping to get a hold of the ability.
[What the hell were you thinking pissing off an opponent like that?!]
Melody clutched her shoulder as her eyes narrowed and her breathing ragged.
Jumping down behind Melody and onto the passageway, the merman grinned. "You might not recognize me, but as you had heard, I am friends with the tavern owner¨Chis name is Fin and because of you, he''s going to be killed!"
Punching on the floor, arge area of the ground with ice, trapping her feet in ice.
Melting the ice, Melody created a wave to push him away from her as she began to flee once more, crying out in pain as she lost the feeling in her left arm.
[I''ve given a bit of my Sux, but you only have 20 minutes to utilize it effectively]
Melody nodded her head, she needed all the help she could get.
"Mermaids are meant to be docile and submissive!" The merman snapped. "Yet you are strangely aggressive."
Stomping on the ground with her right foot, she lifted him off the ground using blood maniption granted by Hisha''s augmentation.
"Ahhh!" He screamed as part of his body forcefully turned in different directions.
Dropping him hard to the flood, crack marks were made around him after making a dent in it.
As much as she needed to kill him to save herself, there was also the issue of the ice w still stuck in her shoulder.
"Get this thing out of me!" She spat in despair, forcefully pulling him out and determined to show how fearful he should be of her before the augmentation would wear off.
"Haha! It is you." He smiled as he caught sight of her hair. "You are a feisty one."
Bending one of his fingers, she watched him scream in pain, "get it out and I might spare you!"
"Spare me? I''d like to propose a deal instead."
[Let''s hear it] Hisha agreed to the condition.
"You have three minutes to do so!" Melody warned.
Snapping back his finger in ce, he made a hum as he stomached the unsettling pain.
Exhaling, he grinned. "It''s a pleasure meeting a mermaid who goes against the norms, I''m Thel."
Melody looked at his outstretched arm, "170 seconds and counting."
Retracting his hand, he nodded his head. "I need you to help me save my friend who is to be killed in the middle of the market square in a few minutes and I would dissolve the w lodged in your arm and also throw in a little extra of giving you precious information that I''m sure your master would be pleased to know about."
Melody was quick to hide her shock at his words, and in a bid to hide her identity, she snapped. "I have no one I work for!"
Chuckling at her response, Thel tilted his head. "No mermaid acts this way except they''ve got some backing and I am certain you didn''t have that ability a few minutes ago."
''Are some merfolks this smart?'' Hisha questioned his system, pleasantly surprised that a cover of his ruse was easily discovered.
[He is a blood sibling of Kenna, there is some sort of connection with their heightened perception]
"What do you say?" Thel pressed on with a grin.
"What sort of information do you want to share?" Melody hissed, unsure about his offer.
"How about the secret of the pearl and what is the ultimate use?" Thel wiggled his brows.
His words felt like a p to her confidence, not only does he know about her new identity but also had a surface knowledge of her original body?
"Who are you?"
Thel looked around him but was silent, shaking his index finger in a ''no''.
It took a few seconds to understand what he was driving at, "this isn''t exining the deal, why are you acting petty?!"
[You have only 7 mins till it wears off]
''His response is suspicious, can I trust him?''
[18:04:56]
Looking at the timer, she had little time before she would lose consciousness and existence.
[What do you intend to do, host?]
[He is a sibling to the olddy that had almost guessed your true nature. Judging from her actions, they aren''t with Mich]
''Incredible...'' Thel watched patiently as he stared at Melody having an internal battle.
"As much as I want to kill you, you are useful to my cause and I would help you with yours," Thel assured.
''Real soothing to my ears.'' Melody sarcastically replied, cursing at him for his pompous, yet casual means of saying it.
"Am I meant to say, thank you?" She expressed with a roll of her eyes.
"There are other ways you could thank me if you are willing." Thel rubbed his hands and licked his lips while scanning heryered clothing.
Bam!
Melody kicked him to the head, causing him to drop down, groaning in pain the moment he felt a tug in his heart.
"Don''t you ever think on that line!" She snapped.
Pushing himself up, he wiped his bloody forehead. "This is embarrassing."
He forced a smile, knowing she was the second to have him downright bad and vulnerable after his older sister.
Raising his hand, he dissolved the ice w that had lodged in her shoulder. "As a token of good faith. You should heal up soon."
Feeling relief wash over her, she exhaled with a smile as she watched the wound close up and vanish as though it had never been there.
[How about using your ability to create a bit of chaos, I''d like to know how the neighboringnds take this.] Hisha advised with a nod, given that his given augmentation had been deactivated.
"I guess you aren''t that terrible," Melody smirked as she offered out her hand.
Getting to his feet himself, he straightened out his cor and shook his head. "That would be a blow to my pride."
Melody raised a brow but nodded to his decision.
"How about you take off that hood, it stands out a little too much that you could do some shady shit." Thel teased.
Chapter 113 That Wont Stop Me!
Walking through the crowd of onlookers, Thel led Melody as they gently pushed those who were in their way.
"Hey!"
"That''s so rude!"
"I was here first!"
Thel stopped and grimaced as Melody crashed into his back.
"Why did you stop?" She hissed, punching at his back while she adjusted her eye mask.
Looking over his shoulder, he nodded to the front so she could watch under his lifted arm across his left shoulder de.
Peeking, she could make out the tavern owner who had his hands confined behind him with a metal strip.
His white hair had been tied up around his neck with its end sticking out.
His purple eyes teared up as he nced through the crowd of onlookers who dared not help him and back down at the water in front of him.
''Is this how I die?'' He thought with regret and fear of the consequences.
Stripped to his underpants, whip marks that had formed throbbing welts could be seen, with the wind brushing past it as the only soothing remedy to the burning sensation.
Standing on a wooden board with arge body of water that could be viewed by a transparent ss container.
''What are they going to do? Kill him in freaking water?'' Melody jokes, shaking her head at the stupidity of what she was witnessing.
They were merfolks, it was more than unusual to go through such means as an execution.
There was a loud gasp from everyone as a masked merman was behind him, urging him forward.
Thel had his fists clenched beside him as he stared at his friend. "That over there is one of the most gruesome ways any merfolk could die!"
Melody furrowed her brows, not clearly understanding the concept of what was going on.
[It''s a form of electrocution, there are deadly charged Sux particles generated by whoever had been given the task to carry out the execution...] Hisha exined the information he had gotten from HTC.
It was one thing to understand that Melody wasn''t acting alone, but it would be a wrong turn of events if Thel could also guess the true nature of Melody.
If she needed to keep up with the charade, she would need to know the workings of the merfolk world.
"I already know that a slow and torturous stage until there is nothing left of that merfolk to heal from." Melody scoffed, rolling her eyes.
Narrowing his eyes at her, Thel nodded his head and looked back at his friend, and spoke in a whisper. "Remember what we nned?"
cing her hand on his shoulder, she gave a light nod, taking a nce at the number of guards stationed to watch over the event.
"Ten of them." She whispered.
A prideful grin made its way to her lips as she considered herst attempt at fighting till the death and had dealt with far many of them.
Even though she had lost her ability to entice mermen and use that to her advantage, after the switch, it was still a win for her to gain a more refined water maniption that was akin to Mira.
"Why are you hiding your face? Do you n on staying here?" Melody questioned curiously.
"Just as you have a secret, I n on keeping mine while living here." He hissed beside him.
Melody''s eyes looked down at his hard-hitting words, knowing it is for the best they wouldn''t pry much into their private lives.
"You may proceed, we don''t need any casualties of the people," Thel responded while pinching on the ufortable mask.
"Who said I was nning to kill anyone at the time?" Melody hissed with a roll of her eyes.
"..."
Thel simply shook his head and made his way past the crowd.
''Fish brains!''
[The very brains that figured out your cover a little too well]
Pouting and feeling a bit distracted, Melody shook her head to clear her thoughts before acting out on it.
Looking over at the fountain once more, she created an exact scenario as she had done before, but this time, several merfolks in the market square were acquainted with the danger of this phenomenon.
Scurrying off, there were screams in terror, none wanting to be a victim of such an attack.
The guards all looked around in confusion as they held onto their weapons, channeling their Sux into them.
"Get to safety!" They called out.
[Spare no one, leave no survivors!]
Melody grinned at themand, her eyes taking note of the approach of other guards closing in on her.
"One..." She looked to her right, materializing parts of the suspended water to easily pierce him through his mail and neck with ease once it connected to form an away line.
All guards stopped in their tracks as they watched one of their own drop-down with blood gushing out of his neck.
"That was reinforced meit." One of them made a sidement as he stared in horror.
Their armor had been made out of one of the best nearly imprable metals¨Cmeit, only a strong adversary could break through that defense.
Left with no choice, they all charged with various Sux-manipted water attacks.
Making a spin on the floor, all converged around her spreading out into tiny senbon that struck into their body.
Ssh!
Using her knowledge of the ice w, she made the senbons drill into their body as they screamed out in pain.
[You learn fast!] Hisha chuckled at the entertainment.
Thel looked over at Melody with a nod,ughing at her mimicking his ability.
The masked merman held onto the tavern owner by the neck, pushing him forward.
Trying his best to counter the push while digging his heels onto the floor, his hope for survival had just gone up a whole lot better.
Thel threw three ice ws at the masked merman which he blocked with the use of his prisoner as a merman shield.
''Do you think that''s going to stop me?!'' Thel sneered, making a push gesture on his projectiles.
Drilling through his friend at a great speed, he ignored the groan in pain, knowing he would be able to heal.
"Ahhh!" He let out a yell in pain but immediately it had gone right through his body, he felt an overwhelming sense of relief when they all began to heal.
Unable to react in time, the masked merman looked down and in between them as he saw the ice ws drill out at the back of his prisoner and continued their rotation.
One going into his chest, another into his waist.
Stunned by the action and pain of feeling it drill into his ribcage at an agonizingly slow pace.
Pushing his prisoner away from himself as he struggled to stand upright.
Stumbling and gasping in fear at the thought of dropping into the water, he closed his eyes and epted his date once more.
"Are you stupid, Ni?!" Thel''s voice boomed in rage, holding his friend by an ice ledge that had extended to prevent his fall into the water.
"Get the fuck up and jump the other way!" He yelled, looking over at the masked merman.
Pushing himself up to his feet, Ni jumped off to his right, rolling once he had safely made it to the floor.
With a sigh of relief, Thel made his way toward the merman by gliding on an ice wave towering over him.
Ni stared in awe as he watched Thel gliding above, before giving a swift kick to the masked merman, causing him to stagger back uncontrobly, inevitably falling into the water and unintentionally activating his Sux.
Zzzchwp!
He watched with a straight face as the merman shook violently in the water, quick shes of light had his body look nearly transparent, his skeletal frame visible for a few seconds.
p!
p!
p!
"My, my. Who would have thought you could find your way so easily, I''m starting to think you never needed my help." Melody praised, looking around with a satisfying grin at the dead guards who had sumbed to their unhealed injuries.
''Pathetic.'' She sneered, seeing how easy it was to dispose of the guards.
Ni looked as confused as he could as he stared at Mira and then at Thel.
"I never knew you could kick butt like that." He joked.
''There''s a lot of things you don''t know about me. I''m not the same person you might have known.'' She thought as she looked in the opposite direction.
"I owed it enough to you that it''s my fault you were taken," Melody responded.
"It''s alright, I was the one who chose silence, and that merman you were always fawning over didn''t treat you with any ounce of respect when he started that. It''s a good thing you killed him before you two were caught." Ni gave an eye shut smile.
Ahem!
"I hate to break it to you two, but we need to go!!!" Thel hissed as he nodded in the direction of several guards approaching, led by the very person they wouldn''t want getting mixed with.
Chapter 114 Do You Hate Me...?
[What''s your next n, host?]
''I wait it out, that''s the least I can do right now.'' Hisha shrugged as he observed the pearl.
[I meant the information about the pearl conveyed by Thel]
Tossing the pearl in the air, Hisha watched as it almost made contact with the floor but he managed to make it hover an inch before it could happen.
''Do you really think I could replicate a bloodline?'' Hisha deadpanned.
[...]
Rubbing it in between his fingers, his lips drew into a thin line. ''The one thing I would have loved to possess seems far out of my reach.''
[There is another way]
With his interest piqued, he had his attention focused on the interface, hoping it would be a simpler format that requires less effort.
[Once you can attain level 1111, there is an opportunity to earn the body change which can be altered to yourfort]
At the utterance of ''1111'', Hisha lost all hope of getting there any quicker. He had only leveled up till the 6th, yet he was expected to get 105 extra?
''Why do you suggest the impossible at the moment? Why that specific number?!'' Hisha whined in displeasure.
[It is merely a motivation mechanism]
''Well, you killed my zeal.'' Hisha countered.
? [I am programmed to calcte the appropriate time for any augmentation or reward]
''You said you were created from my desire, yet you are not going by that rule when it boils down to timing?''
[...]
Exhaling and trying his best to calm his thoughts through breathing, he forced a smile and nodded. ''I can do this, I will surpass the stupid goal ced before me. I will get that augmentation!''
*****
It had been a few hours since he watched through Melody''s eyes and got bored by theck of action and intriguing sceneries to captivate his attention.
Realizing he had taken a nap without even knowing, he was curious to know what he had missed.
"How far deep can this go? How could Melody create a pearl even though she is merely my creation?" He muttered to himself.
[You created a perfect replication of the mermaid genes, this would only mean, anybody made would be as identical to the race as it could be]
Activating the visuals, he peered through her eyes to witness Melodyughing at a joke Ni had made.
''She looks happy.'' Hisha gave a low chuckle at how carefree she was.
Looking back at the timer, he let out a sigh, there was no way she could make it till the next morning.
[11:02:34]
[Ability: Mental space]
[I''m sorry it had to be this way. This will be thest time we get to speak with one another.] Hisha rted in her subconscious.
Melody looked around her, then at her hands, tugging at her hair in a rush.
''I have my body back?'' She gasped at the length and color of her hair, reaching for her face to get a touch of what it used to feel like.
[Yes, it is you.] Hisha affirmed her the moment she whipped her head backward to source out the voice.
Staring at a distance, a projection of Hisha standing with his arms opened wide, urging her for a hug.
She stood frozen for some time, processing what he had meant with his gesture.
Snnf!
Her vision became blurry with tears, unable to control her legs as they ran in Hisha''s direction.
Giving him a body m, she buried her face in his embrace, wrapping her arms around his back.
Snnf!
Hisha had a bitter smile as he felt her body trembling from crying.
[Do you hate me for being so unable to stop this from happening to you?]
Pulling away slightly so she could see him more clearly, she frantically shook her head in denial. ''No, I would never. You''ve been nothing but good to me.''
[Good...] Hisha repeated in disbelief at being referred to in such a manner when he was by far the opposite in his book.
Stroking her hair, and smiles at her memorable presence.
[Do me a favor]
Melody wiped at her face and nodded her head to his unknown condition.
[Try not to get into trouble, make the best of the time you have left] Hisha forced a smile, hopeful his severance on the connection they had would interfere and cancel out his reaction to the situation.
''I will.'' She uttered and was quickly thrown into a panic the moment she caught sight of Hisha''s disintegrating projection.
[I adored you more than a creation, but it''s time to say our goodbyes. Do all you had wanted to do as of your ns while out of the eyes of others]
''No, please, don''t leave me!'' Melody cried out, unable to hold back her tears as she reached out to Hisha.
The moment she had gotten a hold of his fingers, it scattered into tiny dust particles that faded.
''No!'' She muttered weakly, dropping to her knees and her hair over her face.
*****
Snap!
Snap!
"Mira?" Thel questioned while he continuously snapped his fingers in front of her, noticing her shocked look while in a trance-like state.
Tugging on her blue sleeve, Ni calmly responded. "Snap out of it."
Jolting back to the reality of things, she sealed tight her lips as she stared at nothing in particr.
Shaken with untold misery at dying once more, she shook her head and forced a smile. "Nothing."
Refusing to believe her words, Thel pried further. "Something bothers you."
Melody''s mood dropped once again as she looked at the table, trying her best to busy herself with the steel cup as she flicked her finger on it so she could stare at the ripple effect in the red wine.
''Make the best of your time.'' She muttered to herself until she believed it.
She needed something worthy of a good cheer and picked up the cup, raising it for a toast.
"To the friends and bonds, I never thought I''d have!"
With a smirk on his lips, Thel looked over to his friend who was pleasantly amused by Melody''s behavior.
Picking their cups, they peered in to find them empty. Facepalming at theirck of self-control.
To their right were a total of 5 jugs of wine emptied and thest jug nearly finished.
Grabbing a hold of its handle, Ni tipped it over just a little, dispensing the right proportion into Thel''s cup and then his.
Melody had her hand awkwardly raised the whole time as she watched them try to keep up with her action.
"To not being killed!" Ni chuckled, raising his cup.
"To saving a friend!" Thel chipped in with a smile.
Clink!
Gulping it down, they let out a sigh of relief, letting out heartyughter.
Pushing back on her chair, Melody got to her feet.
"Is anything wrong?" Thel inquired, hoping for a favorable response this time.
"I just need to head to bed." She replied, not too pleased when her voice croaked as though holding something inside her.
Ni shook his head, helping her understand that her voice sounded more like she had been crying for such a long while.
Feeling self-conscious, Melody cleared her throat as she thought of a way to counter his urate words.
Even though it looked like what she had gone through while conversing with Hisha had been a few seconds of reaction to something unusual.
''It was there, it was real.'' She muttered to herself.
"I feel guilty for you two living as fugitives." She lied.
They had picked on some supplies during their departure and had taken shelter in Thel''s secret home until the search was over.
"Don''t wait for me, I''m heading out for a stroll, I might be back in a few hours."
Not waiting for their answers, she turned, walking to the door.
m!
Thel shared a look with Ni, "are we meant to do as she says?"
"I don''t think so," Ni replied, getting to his feet in a hurry. "I don''t know about you, but something feels off."
"Her ''might'' was unsettling."
Pulling on their disguises, they set out in search of Melody.
*****
[You need to rest]
Hisha stared at the ceiling, dejected and alone, unable to sleep.
''What do you think she''s doing?'' He queried, covering his eyes with his arm.
[You could still check if you want to]
''No, that would take away the experience of what I wanted for her. She couldn''t do anything foolish since my ns had been realized.'' Hisha countered in denial.
[Then you need to rest if you want your Sux replenished for the next day¨CThe tournament!!!]
''The tournament, yet another day for the strong to oppress the weak. I hope she enjoys her limited time.'' Hisha sighed as he leaned on his right, slowly closing his eyes.

Chapter 115 Power Hierarchy Threatened
Ding!
__________
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1006]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 1000/1000]
[Meretrix: 2]
[Points: 13600]
[Exp: 54]
[Total number of your harem: 6237]
__________
''Huh? Hisha yawned, stretching out and scratching an itch.
[It''s your daily status, host]
Staring at his Sux, he coughed out, patting his chest to bring himself to the reality of things.
''How long was I asleep?!'' He eximed.
[10 hours, 53 minutes, 2 seconds, and 3...]
''I slept through the whole night? Through...'' He gulped, unable toplete his sentence.
[At the sound of your status update, all had been taken care of]
"She''s gone, again," Hisha murmured, knowing for a fact that he could never make the same mistake of creating another version of her.
[You had made some achievements that seemed improbable, host]
Nodding his head, he let out a sigh but had a smile knowing it was for the best.
''I hope she did spend her time wisely.'' He gave a weak smile as he got to his feet.
[...]
With the thought of the tournament, he headed to take a bath.
"Why do I feel that this would be more brutal than thest?" Hisha muttered to himself, his hand on the bathroom door.
[When has it been all roses?]
HTC deadpanned with an uninterested emoji.
''You do know that question was just to ''myself'' not necessarily you.'' Hisha countered, pulling on the door and stepping over the threshold.
[Your hunch has never been wrong, that doesn''t mean that I can''t answer your questions, host]
Stripping off all clothing, he dipped his leg into the water, letting out a sigh of satisfaction as he slipped in.
''It would be nice to get extra points to purchase anything I need from the inventory.'' Hisha shrugged, thinking of the benefit he could derive from it.
[Do not forget about the feast]
Rolling his eyes, Hisha nodded his head in response.
As much as he wanted to see what Wae had up his sleeve, he was also slightly triggered by the possible oue of the whole arrangement.
''Is it wrong if I just kill them all, start afresh?'' Hisha rubbed his chin in thought.
''Don''t answer that.'' He cautioned HTC, not ready for its thought on the issue.
[On the side, there would be a lot of food!]
HTC disyed its limited food emoji''s in a bid to make it look as simr to a real feast.
''All these you have shown are nd. I''m sure they''d add a special ingredient called ''lethal or seal'', that should spice it up.''
[Lethal is out of the question, how many times do I have to remind you of your status as an IMMORTAL?!!!]
Covering his ears and wincing at the disturbance that it caused, Hisha nodded his head in understanding. ''Seal it is, just like that temptress and her minions!''
[Most probably, host. You need to be cautious.]
''Not if I find a way of making him sign a contract just like Mich. It would be fun to do so with the rest.'' Hisha chuckled, rubbing his slippery hands together, causing them to foam over.
[With their narrow wits, it would be realized]
HTC assured with a grinning emoji.
''I eagerly await that time and would use it for a grand n.''
*****
In the arena,
Crossing his leg as he normally did, he looked around, noticing a slight change in their arrangements, those who had participated and won were ced to the left with vast empty seats while those who had not participated were made to manage the little space allocated to them.
Walking in their numbers, he awaited when they would take their designated seats.
His smile only grew when he witnessed Sra sitting carefree with her feet on Alta''s shoulder whilst blowing on her nails.
''It would seem they have formed a strangely strong bond.''
[Thest duel they had while assisting you must have done that, but...]
Hisha growled a little, massaging his temples and hoping he wouldn''t get a chance to make a wish which might involve dragging HTC into it.
''Why the freaking ''but''?! Finish the god-damned sentence!''
[Such an impatient host! Very well then... they might have epted their differences and n to get you caught in their loop]
''Was that so hard to say?'' Hisha shook his head.
Narrowing his eyes, he looked to his left, feeling a set of eyes staring at him.
''Mich! What the hell is his problem?''
[2667 years, 10 months, 4 days]
Staring at the status bar hovering above Mich, he forced a grin at how dedicated he was to keep his life expectancy to be in its natural course.
''Come on, curse at me! Plot something! Go along with your n, lie to me perhaps!'' Hisha conveyed through his eyes.
Mich''s sweat dropped on his blue silk loose pants, his feet drumming on the floor, understanding the gaze given to him by Hisha.
"Come closer." Hisha bellowed, looking at Vanas so he would give up his position sitting beside him.
Unsure of how the decision would be taken by the other tribal chiefs, Mich politely declined, stating his reasons.
With a re of jealousy at the perceived favoritism, Vanas hissed at Mich, his fangs more prominent as his red eyes glowed in bitter rage.
The other tribal chiefs peered from their sitting positions, waiting it out to see the oue of what could be perceived as a disrespect to the hierarchy and power level of each one of them.
Hisha had a stoic expression, pretending as though unfazed by the power level of all tribal chiefs exined to him by HTC.
The power level of each tribal chief went in the order of Dragons? Vampires? Lycans? Minotaurs? Merfolks? Ogres? and Elves.
''I don''t care, let''s have some showdown before the actual tournament.'' Hisha disregarded HTC frommenting on the discord he was sowing right before what mattered to him.
Kritz tilted his head at what was going on, a smile tugged at his lips watching the tribal chiefs have a moment of distrust in Hisha''s judgment, seeing it as an opportunity to attack if any went out of line.
"My lord," Vanas lowered his voice, not wanting the harem below to pick up on the possiblemotion.
Hisha raised a brow and smiled at his call.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to be as polite as possible, "we all are aware of the sitting arrangements created by your evaluation, as a tribe in a higher rank than this... this..."
Quiet and calctive, Hisha waited it out till he would spill out his thoughts on Mich.
"... puny little fish¨C"
"Don''t spit out bullshit, Vanas!" Mich warned, slightly triggered by who he had considered a friend to his tribe.
Vanas looked to his side and scoffed, "why do I feel like you wish this day woulde?! Remember how you had requested that¨C"
"Ah! ah! ah!" Draegul eximed in a sing-song voice, shaking his wed finger and clicking his tongue to shut Vanas up.
They had all sworn not to speak on their failed attempt on Hisha, having yet another who could jeopardize their ns was out of the question.
[Name: Draegul Scy]
[Height: 188cm]
[Position: Chief of the dragon tribe]
Hisha stared at the character status, then at Draegul, suddenly interested in his hold on the other chiefs.
His body was slender and toned, his exposed skin tanned. His eyes had a greenish-grey color to them, and his silver-grey hair was long and unkempt. Two nearly spiral horns on each side of his head.
Most of his body was covered in a ck metallic bodysuit formed from heated dragon mes which had red markings across it. Over the top of this bodysuit, Draegul wore several pieces of armor ting. This armor included gauntlets, boots, and pauldrons.
There were times when Hisha would ponder on the thought of Draegul ever prepared for some war.
Wae smiled with a mischievous glint. He was more than d he might not be the one who would be willing to rip a hole in another''s chest.
Draegul had every reason to attempt this without a flinch if he wanted to under the guise of Vanas'' insubordination.
A shrill of fear coursed through Vanas'' spine as Draegul was one who rarely spokeplete sentences or words in general.
Hisha stared at Vanas, tilting his head in amusement, "do you wish to go against my order?"
Vanas cowered, wincing at the idea of being stupid enough to unintentionally attempt that.
Shaking his head, he gave a light bow and attempted to switch ces as instructed.
Mich stood frozen to the spot, unwilling to sit by Hisha''s side, there was something not right with the opportunity he was given.
"Mership Mich?" Kritz called out reluctantly.

Chapter 116 Blindfolded
Hisha bit on his bottom lips, refusing to burst intoughter, knowing it was just about hard for Kritz to speak so formally to Mich when calling on his attention.
''Call him by the usual, he doesn''t need his title!'' Hisha urged in his thoughts.
[You''re enjoying this]
''Obviously!''
Mich looked to the Vandrik, raising a brow to his pointed finger below.
There was silence as all harem members had their attention fixated above, keen on the source of the dy in starting the tournament.
''The tournament, I must be dying the event.'' Mich gulped, rushing over to the avable seat given to him.
Patting on the armrest, Hisha had a wicked grin as he watched Mich sit at the edge of the chair in an ufortable setting, fiddling with his fingers.
"Does my presence disturb you?" Hisha leaned a little to the side to whisper in Mich''s ear as he watched Kritz give a brief introduction to the rest of the harem below.
"Disturb?" Mich repeated, his heart pounding with all seriousness.
Caught in a dilemma on what could be the right answer¨Chonestly reply but risk an unpredictable reaction or lie and risk losing a month of his lifespan and the pain thates with it.
"Just a little," he tried to mellow down on his thoughts.
"Nnngh!"
[2667 years, 8 months, 4 days]
''Gotcha!'' Hisha thought as he shook his head, observing he was struggling to keep hisposure.
Covering his mouth with his palm, he had managed to hide coughing out blood.
Manipting the liquid off his body, he was quick to make it trickle across his face and onto the backrest with it depositing his bloody content behind.
''I see, he''s got an iplete hold on blood maniption because of the augmentation, huh?''
[You had bestowed him with it in the first ce, host]
''It wasn''t my best moment.'' Hisha admitted.
[Duel: 7]
[Number of possible harems participating: 35]
[Victories: 0]
[Points umted during the tournament: 0]
''I don''t care at this point.''
"For this round, there would be a twist for the first 5 harem members who would be chosen from the human race!" Kritz announced in a loud voice, taking a scan of the females below.
There was a dead silence at the race choice, which would mean they wouldn''t have to worry about the use of an ability.
Kritz looked back at Hisha for an assurance of a nod. Once he had gotten that, he smiled and focused his attention back on them.
"The chosen participants will have to rely on anything but eyesight for the duel."
There was a loud gasp of shock at the outrageous condition given to them.
[The condition just got tougher]
Unable to voice their concerns about how illogical that sounded, they stared in silence with grim looks.
Yagami pped her hands and hollered to the humans she could identify. "You can do it! It''s all about using your heightened senses."
There were a series of res her way as several human harem members all considered her words sarcastic since she had no idea of their limitations.
Raising her hands in surrender, she looked toward the other winners of their respective rounds with a grin. "We are in for a show, aren''t we?"
"Shut the fuck up, Yagami. Have some decency." Sra snapped, looking over to Zui who was having a hard time sitting it out with the rest.
It was disturbing enough that Zui had to wait out until she was picked again, hopefully getting a chance to defeat her opponents and be with them.
Yagami gritted her teeth but was skeptical about engaging such an unpredictable opponent.
Alta burst intoughter at Sra''s words, she was slowly feeling her rival and friend gain more confidence in her true nature if triggered effectively.
Emi got to her feet pointing a finger at Yagami, "how about you say that to me, we are both in the same league of first-round winners, fox ears!"
Yagami growled at the perceived insult, "that''s not something you say to one possessing Sux and a bad temper, human!"
"How about testing if you can keep up with my stance?" Emi clenched her fists, taking a striking pose.
"Just like your sister couldn''t keep up?" She countered with a wicked grin.
Emi felt her words strike a healing wound as her eyes blurred with guilty tears.
Yagami''s tail swayed behind her as she awaited her reaction by epting a personalized duel.
"Come on, show me how well you can knock me out with one snap!" She mocked while cackling.
"Enough!" Hisha''s voice thundered which caused all to have a jump scare.
Getting to his feet and looking down at his harem, Emi and Yagami immediately sat down as though they had never tried to engage in a battle of wits.
The rest maintained theirposure at the sight of him, silence engulfing the arena once more.
"As much as I would love for you all to interact," he looked behind him and at his tribal chiefs who avoided his gaze the moment heid eyes on them.
Looking back at his harem, he continued. "Anyone who proves to be a hindrance to the set rules of this tournament would be treated as unwanted branches that need to be cut off and destroyed!"
There was a gasp as different harem members had different over-the-top thoughts about his words.
[Wasn''t that a bit harsh?]
''If they aren''t cautioned now, there might be an unprecedented duel not set from the selection.''
Sharing res between Yagami and Emi, they scoffed and looked the other way.
[For every sessful win of the subsequent rounds, an awarded point of 3000 would be added]
Returning to his seat, he smirked at the new reward update to be gotten from their duels.
''Just what I like to hear and see.''
As expected, the hovering silver cup materialized in front of him, ''here goes nothing.''
Reaching into it, Hisha pulled out five pieces of paper and handed them over to Kritz.
"Le Reed, Seraphina Max, Isott Ross, Jana Ganor, and Tatsy Afra." He announced.
Stepping out and unsure of the task given to them, they stared at one another wondering why they had been denied ess to use their armor and left with nothing but their weapons strapped behind or in their palms.
"You must be concerned about why you were denied the use of your armor." Kritz deduced.
Raising their heads so they could take a better look at Kritz, having uniform nods in response while cautiously studying their opponent''s behavior and stance.
Smiling in his seat, Hisha felt amused by the fact that they all were weary of one another, none acting proud but somewhat calctive and quiet.
''This should be fun.'' Hisha leaned forward, his elbows on the arm resting while steepling his fingers and resting his chin on them.
Mich shifted ufortably to his right, hoping he would evade the evil glint in the overlord''s eyes.
"Sit properly and enjoy the show. Don''t make me regret giving you a good spot." Hisha hissed with a warning from the corner of his lips, his eyes glowing slightly before reverting.
Doing as told, Mich immediately adjusted his sitting posture and position, his lips drawn into a thin line.
Vanas on the other hand had his eyes on both, still unconvinced of the choice of his lord and putting it up as Mich''s way to humiliate him.
''I will not let this slide so easily!''
*****
"You all wouldn''t need your armor as it would be unfair to those who rely on skill and weaponry," Kritz exined.
Thedies had their lips in a grimace, knowing that it has greatly reduced their efficiency against one another.
"The duel wouldst for thirty minutes, only those who can survive after the time pses, wins. Those who fail to fight are exterminated!" Kritz said in one final note.
Hisha''s grin only widened at the added condition, it looked to him as though there was discrimination against the human race and the perceived weak mechanism.
Even though thedies chosen from the human race were strong in their own right, there was still the issue of if they could fight just like Emi had and prove there was still inner strength and skill needed rather than weaponry.
He needed a human who could use the abilities or weaponry of the opponents against its user.
They all looked down in horror, there were two sides to the condition, it could mean the majority or minority would die trying to stay alive until the timer psed and the other being they all die while trying to maintain that status during the outrageous long minutes.
All they could think about is the fact that they would have to carry out the duel while being blindfolded.
Looking back once more for confirmation from Hisha.
Hisha got to his feet and walked over to the edge, with a snap of his fingers, 2?-inch wide ck blindfolds were strapped around their eyes and over the bridge of their nose.
Chapter 117 Stealth And Listening Is Key
Huff!
Huff!
They all had their hearts pounding in perceived fear of the unknown.
[00:29:58]
All stared in awe at the visible blue timer interface that hovered like a cover above the open arena.
Then another was shown with each name of the participants as a monotonous voice echoed.
[Le Reed]
[Seraphina Max]
[Isott Ross]
[Jana Ganor]
[Tatsy Afra]
Sitting on the edge, Hisha needed better coverage of what was going on and to make sure some of his harems wouldn''t whisper directions to those blindfolded.
There was an eerie silence as the majority could not hold the gaze of their lord.
Mich felt he was going to pass out from the anxiety that was slowly tearing him apart.
Vanas called on his attention with a cut-throat gesture and a bite to imbed in him, fear for his next moves.
''Why is this happening to me?'' Mich internally cried out, feeling some sort of burning sensation underneath him stemming from the chair he was sitting on.
Taking it as a form of rejection from the chair which had beenced with Sux specific to each power level, he was nearly tempted to get to his feet.
"My lord..." Mich called out in a desperate voice of appeal, crossing and unwinding them just to satisfy his uneasiness.
Looking behind him, Hisha wasn''t too pleased with the distraction but also understood why he might have called.
His eyes stared at the seat which had turned red as did Vanas'' eyes even when it was fixated on the arena.
Seeing it as a subtle torture achieved, Hisha turned his attention to Vanas. "You may return to your rightful ce."
At first, Vanas had pretended to be unaware of his calling, choosing to make it seem like he was very much interested in the tournament and not his lost position beside Hisha.
"Mich, thank you for keeping mepany." Hisha smiled, pointing towards Vanas.
Not needing to be told, Mich jumped off the chair, hissing slightly before feeling his regeneration take ce.
Buzz!
[Isott Ross - Terminated]
[3000 points acquired]
[Harem: 6236]
Buzz!
[Tatsy Afra- Terminated]
[3000 points acquired]
[Harem: 6235]
Hisha''s head whipped back in curiosity, he had not expected such a quick kill from any of them so easily.
A buzz sound could be heard so all participants could listen and tell who was left unharmed.
To the rest, they could see the names of thedies washed in red to signify their status.
There was a gasp among the rest as they couldn''t determine who had killed the two.
[00:23:22]
Being extra cautious, Seraphina pulled on her long sleeves so that they could be folded to her elbows.
Her refined dress flows from top to bottom and has a jewel neckline, which entrancingly reveals the elegantly fitted pants worn below it. The exquisite, buttoned-up fabric of her dress covers her stomach where the continuous flow is broken up by waist beads worn fairly low around her waist.
She held onto her push daggers tightly, shing at the air while moving forward with calcted steps.
''That''s a stupid move!'' Hisha facepalmed, disappointed she didn''t know the first rule about being blindfolded in such a situation.
Winning this duel requires stealth and the use of hearing to their advantage to make a meaningful strike at the equally unsuspecting opponent.
Seraphina on the other hand was at two disadvantages-one stemming from her sh movements which were sure to attract the others'' attention soon, the other being her choice of essories.
''That was a poor choice to wear a beaded anklet which would definitely announce her movements, let''s not even speak about her waist bead.'' Hisha rolled his eyes, having little to no hope for her survival.
Observing the rest, Le and Jana had stayed in their position, unmoving and relying more on listening.
Hisha had a grin, realizing Jana was the one who had dealt the devastating blow to Tatsy and Isott.
She had in her hands a metallic whip stained with blood which she wrapped around her wrist, gripping it while relying on listening to the slightest movements that approached her.
Her brown, shoulder-length straight hair swayed with the wind. Making her tuck them behind her ear, tying them into a bun for easy mobility without a distraction, and slightly turning her head to pick on the sound to her right.
Kritz had a disappointed look on the two bodies that were stillying on the floor from strangtion and the other from a tear to the neck after struggling.
His disappointment only graduated to disgust at not taking the initiative to shed off what would bring her unwanted attention.
Le had her metallic w gloves barred as she took little steps in pursuit of the sounding from Seraphina.
Halting in her footsteps, she had wanted to turn at the change in the wind when she felt a sh on her neck.
"Oooo!" The crowd winced at the sight, watching as blood spilled all around.
Buzz!
[Seraphina Max - Terminated]
[3000 points acquired]
[Harem: 6234]
''I saw iting!'' Facepalming at the stupid way of death, Hisha was more than d to get rid of yet another weak link.
[00:12:45]
Murmurs were erupting amongst the harem as they stared at the timer, if the remaining two didn''t engage or manage to survive till the timer was up¨Cdeath would be the final victor.
As tension loomed in the air, they watched with keen interest which member woulde out victorious.
Le and Jana had their ears pricked up slightly, waiting for the other to make the move.
''If you two don''t do anything before the timer is up, you would both die.'' Hisha exined in his thoughts, exhaling at how boring this round was.
Offering to speak up, Le chuckled, taking a defensive stance. "It would seem I had underestimated you."
"The same goes for you," Jana replied.
With each step came a backward step from Le.
"Don''t you think you''re too quick in having me killed?" Le jokes.
[00:08:00]
Squatting, Jana picked up a stone she had stumbled upon earlier at the time.
Whoosh!
Le ducked just in time to avoid being hit, to her dismay she felt a rope-like contraption tug at her leg, pulling her with great force.
Scratching onto the floor with her gloves to counter the pull, she had unintentionally stabbed her ws into one of the bodies on the floor.
''Oh no!'' She thought in horror at being pulled alongside the corpse.
Grabbing a hold of her neck, she mmed Le to the floor. In quick session wrapping her whip around her neck.
[00:02:00]
Tightening the grip, the whip narrowed revealing sharp jagged edges all around which dug into Le''s neck.
Zht!
Zht!
Le''s body stiffened as blood trailed down her neck and onto the floor.
Buzz!

[Harem: 6233]
Pulling on it while pressing hard on her shoulder with her leg, she ripped off Le''s head from her body.
[00:00:00]
Ding!
The timer vanished, revealing Jana''s name outlined in green.
Cheers sprung out with Tia being the loudest, calling out to Jana while waving her hand to the unsuspectingdy who was still blindfolded.
Kritz''s grin spread out at the sight, licking his bottom lips in mischievous satisfaction.
Heavily enjoying the blood spilling out.
"Kritz..." Hisha called on his attention, a little unsettled about the grin Kritz disyed while watching the aftermath.
With a snap of his fingers, the blindfold dematerialized, giving her ess to gain back her sight.
Squinting her eyes at the light, she shielded them with her hands over her brows, getting ustomed to her surroundings.
Her whip dropped to the shock at how bloody the scene was and the fact that she had been the cause of the majority of the death.
"Get your act together!" Emi hollered in a loud voice, not amused by the reaction given to people she had no attachment to.
"Jana Ganor wins the first round!" Kritz announces in a loud voice.
Picking up her whip, she stared at the bloodied surface and forced a smile from her win.
''I survived.'' She muttered in her thoughts.
[Duel: 6]
[Number of possible harems participating: 30]
[Victories: 4]
[Points umted during the tournament: 12000]
Hisha''s eyes followed Jana as she made her way to sit amongst the others who had scaled their rounds.
"You seem eager about all of this." Hisha hinted with a raise of his brow at Vanas.
''The more blood that''s spilled, the better it is for me and my tribe.'' Vanas snickered in his thoughts.
Shaking his head with a grin, he went for a different approach. "I''m just excited about the progress of the tournament."

Chapter 118 Slayer Confirmed
Reaching into it, Vanas pulled out five pieces of paper and handed them over to Kritz.
"This better be a good catch." He hissed at Kritz.
''Why are you telling me that trash?! I don''t get to decide.'' Kritz had a deadpan face, simply ignoring and reading out what was on the paper.
? "Andree Brandon, Yuria Smithy, Jena Paddley, Nadinka Ashton, and Ashlin Rudges." He announced.
Hisha snapped his fingers, ck blindfolds were strapped around their eyes and over the bridge of their nose.
[00:29:58]
As they had gotten ustomed to the monotonous voice, they all stared at the disyed name above.
[Andree Brandon]
[Yuria Smithy]
[Jena Paddley]
[Nadinka Ashton]
[Ashlin Rudges]
Hisha had his cheeks resting on his palm, keen on a specific harem that had slightly caught his interest.
''Yuria Smithy.'' He hummed with a wicked grin.
She had her double-wielded sword held in her tight grip, her ck wavy hair tied in twin buns, and two tendrils swaying to the wind.
mming her sword into the floor, the ground shook with reverberation.
''That wasn''t a mistake." Hisha observed as she stood, waiting out for the rest to search and find her from the sound.
Almost as though easy, she ced her palms on the blunt top of the de, her legs upwards as she maintained the stance.
There was an awkward silence as everyone was as curious as they had ever been about the strange show Yuria was putting on.
Schwp!
Narrowly dodging an arrow shot in her direction as she made a split of her legs.
She had worn loose mesh pants with ck underwear visible and seductively appealing.
Maintaining the position, they could all see her butt cheeks much more prominently before she reverted to her stance.
"Aah!" Andree screamed in pain at the arrow lodged into her shoulder from the crossfire.
Watching the three otherdies approach Andree from the distraction caused by her screams, they all knew who would be the first to lose the battle.
Picking another arrow from her quiver, Nadinka used her ears as a form of pinpointing the location before the others could approach and deal the final blow.
Schwp!
The metallic arrow cut through the air and passed through Ashlin''s back, pinning Andree in the mouth.
Buzz!
[Andree Brandon - Terminated]
[3000 points acquired]
[Harem: 6232]
There was a collective grimace from the audience as they watched Andree''s name washed in red after the loud buzz.
Nadinka had a wicked grin at finally having a hit on her target, standing and listening while having her hand ready to let go of the drawstring.
Ashlin bit on her bottom lip to stifle her cry and end up like Andree. Blood dripping from her left arm, she held onto her hand with her right, taking steps back to avoid colliding with anyone.
Jena on the other hand, dressed in a conservative flower-patterned skirt, which had been torn with its jagged edges reaching towards her knees.
There was no disputing the fact that she might have ripped it to cut short her long skirt because of the previous duel she had watched with the others.
Her body-fitted blue crop top hugged tightly to her bust as she had her hands covering one of her ears and the other on her waist.
Although her method was equally strange, there was something different about her which was her bare feet which felt the floor as she moved.
The moment she felt some liquid in the dust, she paused, then swiftly followed the trail until she reached the body of Andree.
Giving her an idea that another member was hit at the same moment Andree was killed.
Feeling at the sand, she squatted to pick at the sand, unintentionally dodging an arrow shot in her direction.
Hisha chuckled at the lucky coincidence of Jena, shaking his head and what tactics she was going to use when the person she was searching for was merely a few meters away from her.
Huff!
Huff!
Jena''s ears pricked up at the sound and taking a handful of dirt, threw it at Ashlin.
Ashlin unintentionally let out a yelp at being startled out of her skin at being found out.
The duel felt like a mouse game with a blind cat on their trail.
Not wanting to duel anymore, she ran towards the edge of the arena while trying to tug at her blindfold, upon touching its walls, a shockwave coursed through her hand and channeled towards her eyes.
Splurt!
There was a miniature explosion from her eyes that made the blindfold bulge and blood ooze from all sides.
Buzz!
[Ashlin Rudges - Terminated]
[3000 points acquired]
[Harem: 6231]
Punching on the floor on which he sat on the edge, Hisha let out a derangedugh, disturbed by the fact that some of them just don''t learn from the rules set before them.
''It was said you can''t quit, don''t you fucking get it!'' He thought with rage, his brows furrowed while watching her body drop to the floor.
Turning his attention back to Yuria, he was skeptical about the sword slowly digging into the ground with each passing minute.
With thoughts to thest duel, they were all cautious as to how they approached and the sounds they made.
Each aimed to get to Yuria who was the first to create enough noise to draw their attention.
[00:17:45]
Draegul narrowed his eyes on the arena, there was something about her sword that didn''t sit well with him.
Breathing out steam from his nostril, he had gotten the confirmation he needed when the middle grip which had been lowered into the floor oozed out with hot steam clouding thedies.
Cough!
Cough!
Getting to his feet in a rush, he stared at Yuria with a look of shock and bewilderment.
''How did she manage to get a sword from my people?!'' He gawked, getting the attention of other tribal chiefs and in turn¨CHisha.
"Get back to your position, Draegul. The duel isn''t over!" Hisha snapped, making him reluctantly do as he was told.
"I apologize, my lord." His deep voice resonated, causing the other tribal chiefs to adjust in their chairs.
It looked to them as though Draegul was on the verge of challenging Hisha if he was strong enough.
Letting out a sigh on being spared from Hisha''s wrath, they turned their attention towards the arena which was starting to clear up gradually.
sh!
Bits of Yuria''s sword sprung out from the floor upon sensing Nadinka approaching its designated radius, spreading out in branches as it coated the floor in tiny des that caught up to Nadinka''s feet.
Losing her bnce, Nadinka felt another stab to her side and was immediately impaled with several tiny des stabbing into her head.
Buzz!
[Nadinka Ashton - Terminated]
[3000 points acquired]
[Harem: 6230]
[It would seem she had been nning this from the very beginning]
Hisha was too stunned to respond and stared at her sword whose tiny des retracted from the floor and gathered underneath.
Getting down from the sword, she patted the top of the sword which began to pull itself from the floor until she grabbed a hold of the middle grip.
There was something oddly strange about the sword which caught his attention, although she had stayed on the blunt surface, the sword needed a blood medium to function and had taken a bit of its user''s blood.
Wiping her hand on her sword, all traces of blood could not be seen and Draegul had a smirk as he felt a life essence rejuvenate him.
''That would exin her strange stance at the onset and her n to carry this out if the others had approached her if the distraction didn''t emerge.'' Hisha concluded.
[00:03:00]
The timer paused and rounded off to zero.
Ding!
The blindfold dematerialized, allowing Yuria ess to her vision once more.
"Yuria Smithy wins the second round!" Kritz announces in a loud voice.
[Duel: 5]
[Number of possible harems participating: 25]
[Victories: 8]
[Points umted during the tournament: 24000]
There was silence as all attention was solely on her sword which could be a problem to any who faced her.
Alta scoffed, looking back at her wings, there was no way she could be caught, most especially if they wouldn''t be blindfolded.
Taking a ce with the others, she sat closest to Jana who was still recovering from what she had done.
"Hi!" She waved at the distracted brte.

Draegul stared at Yuria with keen eyes, hatred booming in his heart. "I have found your yer, Khaleesi!''

2 hourster,
"Celeste Rah wins the sixth round!" Kritz announces in a loud voice once more.
[Duel: 1]
[Number of possible harems participating: 5]
[Victories: 24]
[Points umted during the tournament: 72000]
Celeste had a proud smirk as she whipped her ck hair with white streaks while fondling with her maze hammer which had blood dripping on it.
''Why do I have a feeling this is just grooming them to be killers and sort of a way for them to settle their scores?'' Hisha facepalmed, shaking his head.
[Either way, it is, it''s to your benefit]
''My benefit.'' Hisha scoffed, even though the points he had umted were tempting, he was also sure that whatever he could request from his inventory would rip him off.
As he waited for thest participants who he hoped could bring a bit of spunk into the tournament.
"Tia Gran, Lana Garcia, Hazel Lett, Olivia Drim, and Willow Crik," Kritz announced.
Hisha''s smirk only increased as he was graced with the chance to witness Tia participate.
She had her curly locks in a high point tail and had her multicolored eyes zed up with zeal as she winked at Hisha.
Senbons carefully ced in tinypartments in her ck belt on her purple shorts.
''Let''s see what you''ve got, feisty human.'' He gave a nod of acknowledgment.
Staring down at the others, his attention was drawn to a tinum blonde-haireddy who had an eye patch over her left eye, her blue eyes in a frown as she folded her bandaged arms.
Her white tank top was fitted above her navel with ck shorts.
''She should have an advantage.'' Hisha smiled as he stared at the strange bruises on her arms.
From the looks of things, she was going to rely on brute strength and agility as no weapon was found on her, unlike the rest.
ring at her participants, Tia rushed over to Hazel and wrapped her hand around her whispering something into her ears before pulling away.
Leaning forward slightly, Hisha felt a bit concerned about what might have caused their interaction or what Tia might have said to her to warrant a smirk from Hazel.
[They''re up to something]
''Tell me something I don''t know.'' Hisha rolled his eyes.
[Why were you chosen among all other strange humans and brought to this world?]
Hisha''s mood dropped upon being reminded, letting out a sigh. ''Let''s just concentrate on the tournament, shall we?''
[I guessed that''ll be your response]
Hisha snapped his fingers as always, watching the blindfoldeddies get ready after the final call from the monotonous voice.
[00:29:31]
[Tia Gran]
[Lana Garcia]
[Hazel Lett]
[Olivia Drim]
[Willow Crik]
Feeling for her pouch to pull out a few senbons in between her fingers, Tia had her back against Hazel before they slowly squatted to allow Hazel to touch the floor to have a feel of the vibration from the rest.
''A duo? Who would have thought they''d agree to this?'' Hisha chuckled as the twodies stood their ground not moving at all and waited it out.
Linking their hands by interlocking their left and right fingers, Hazel acted as the eyes to Tia as she drew precise locations on Tia''s palm.
Wae crackled out loud at the teamwork nobody had ever thought of trying out. "If they had partnered, maybe more would have survived, but what do I know?"
Shrugging, he pretended not to get why they wouldn''t team up in such a situation.
The other tribal chiefs gave hard res at Wae, with some shaking their heads at how he was treading on thin ropes. Any more provocation to their lord, he might as well have more hard-hitting repercussions to him and his tribe or worse¨Cdeath.
Looking behind him momentarily, he gave a crooked grin at the unsuspecting Wae and whispered loud enough for the others to listen in on his words. "I feel the same way, but what can I say, when I was given mediocredies with no use other than pleasure, I have to sieve them out one way or another."
Wae sweat dropped, whistling, and looked away after bowing in an apology for what he had said earlier.
The other tribal chiefs facepalmed at his stupidity of being too fast in his speech.
"I would take that apology after we all attend the feast you prepared for us."
Buzz!

[Harem: 6213]
Not bothering to have a look at how thedy had died, he took more pleasure in watching the faces of his tribal chiefs to the subtle hint he had let on.
Unable to freely speak, they opted out to do so in a whisper.
"What feast, Wae?" Vanas narrowed his eyes at him.
Wae heart raced at the news being public which he couldn''t deny, feeling cornered and this revtion being wrong with his n.
"You didn''t let them know, even after you had included them in your schedule?" Hisha feigned ignorance and shock at the events unfolding.
Wae''s eyes widened at the usations, looking over to a silent Draegul who had his eyes narrowed and his arms crossed.
They had immediately figured out what was going on but were also confident of its failure.
''How stupid can you be?!'' Draegul clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"Do join us, being there alone without my trusted advisors wouldn''t be as fun." Hisha cajoled with a wiggle of his brows.
"As you wish, my lord." The five of them said in unison with Draegul joining in bowing their heads in reverence.
Mich had his eyes searching and unsure about the exchange, if he was going there, there was no way he could think or plot anything evil nor lie if asked¨Cit was a dangerous position he would find himself in.
There was still the issue of Kenna who needed his attention as she was still in heratose state, not to mention the disappearance of those masked merfolks and the tavern owner.
There were still things he needed to oversee in his territory, and he was obliged to go to a feast that was not as it seemed.
''Wae, if you do put us all in the limelight, I am sure to end you alongside others if the situation calls for it!'' He vowed in his thoughts while ring at him.
Seeing the suspicion growing among all seven of his tribal chiefs, Hisha hid a smirk as he looked back to duel.
[00:10:03]
There were still two against the duo who never got up from their position, just like Yuria had done and he was more than triggered by the fact that the other two had not learned from the mistake of the past deaddies littering the arena.
Tia threw her senbons randomly on the floor as they sunk in.
Hazel had no problem with her sight being taken, relying on her sense of hearing and stealth.
Getting on one knee, she ced her palm on the floor as though ready to lurch at something or someone.
Adjusting his sitting posture, with one of his legs raised towards his face, he suddenly felt a rush of adrenaline with this unpredictable and wild human.
As guessed, Hazel sprinted at top speed toward Lana with thetter being too slow-witted to react in time.
Gripping her by the throat, Hazel mmed her down hard on the floor.
Whoosh!
Weaving to the right, she narrowly escaped the arrows shot from the metallic gloves Lana wore.
Stepping on the gloves, Hazel punched hard on Lana''s face.
Bam!
Bam!
[00:03:56]
Tia brought out a weird-looking string device that mimicked a miniature harp with only three strings on it.
Pulling out one of her senbons, she glided it back and forth on each string which released a sound wave with every screeching sound.
The senbons underneath the floor began to resonate on the same frequency, letting out an ear-piercing screech.
Hisha had to create a barrier around the arena to prevent it from hurting the others who were merely spectating.
''Such a destructive weapon. You weren''t kidding when you said humans make up for theirck of Sux with brains.'' Hisha hissed in the aftermath of the sound he had heard.
To his surprise, the only people who were unaffected by the sound were Hazel and Tia.
Willow had dropped to the floor, dangerously close to Hazel as she had approached while she was going all ballistic on Lana.
With one final punch, Hazel pulled out her bloody hand and wiped her face.
Buzz!

Getting to her feet, she had her blind gaze on a screaming Willow.
Using her feet to feel for her weapon, she picked up an Axe,ughing at the feel of the weapon. "Your choices are kind of... ordinary."
Raising it above her head, she brought it down in a sh.

"Tia Gran and Hazel Lett win the seventh round!" Kritz announces.
Pulling out the ear muffs Tia had given Hazel, she had a smirk as she nodded to Tia.
Snapping his fingers, the blindfolds dematerialized.
Hazel opened her right eye, smiling as she looked up at the sky.
She was more than d to have teamed up with Tia.
They were a duo that couldn''t have gotten anywhere without one another.
Tiacked the brute strength and agility without the augmentation from her armor which was prohibited at the time, but could only rely on her wits.
Whereas, Hazel possessed all attributes and was in no way vulnerable except when Tia''s final attack would have struck.
Confident in the fact that when she made her final attack, she was in no position to attack and would have to continue till they sumbed, it was risky to rely on such given the limited time frame.
This had been the major reason that prompted her to approach Hazel at the beginning.
[Duel: 0]
[Number of possible harems participating: 0]

[Points umted during the tournament: 81000]
Getting to his feet, Hisha shed a smile at them, pleased basically with how many points he had acquired during the tournament.
"It was entertaining and intriguing how well you humans had been able to adapt well to the changing circumstances of your situation." Hishamended with a nod.
All humans cheered loudly at thepliment they had received, no matter the casualties that the others had sustained, they were still victorious.
Looking down at the bloody field, he stomached the gory sight of dismemberment bodies, crushed faces, and shed skin that bled which had resulted in their death.
All harem members got to their feet, and were given a light bow before filing out.
Kritz had his hand facing towards the field, his Sux creating a barrier that scraped through the floor, sealing and gathering up all bodies before squishing them into a pile.
''My very own personal garbage man.'' Hisha thought with a mischievous glint.
Looking over to Wae, Hisha walked up to him, stretching out his hand. "Now, about that feast, I wouldn''t miss it for anything. How about we get to that?"
Wae''s brows twitched in frustration at the offer, disturbed by his willingness to go at the undesignated time.
"My lord, if I do recall, I had said ¨C"
"A day is enough to prepare, we all should go there. I''m sure the other tribal chiefs would be delighted to witness your borate feast."
Draegul replied in a low growl with his eyes glowing with a threat, Vanas and the rest ring at Wae for making their ns ruined and without a way of resisting the call.
Hisha still had his hand out with a disturbing smile, "shall we?"
With his heart thumping hard, he stomached the will to carry on with his n. "Sure, my lord."
Taking his hand, Wae got to his feet and led the way, having the others reluctantly follow.
"I will join you in a few minutes," Hisha called out with a smirk.
Opening up a portal, he got back into his room to get a few things he had left.
*****
[You forced them to a tight spot]
''As it should be.'' Hisha shrugged.
Opening up the portal that led out of the citadel, he walked through it as he met the rest waiting as instructed.
Needing to get there faster, he opened up yet another portal leading to Winst.
"Home sweet home!" He exhaled with a bright smile, looking over at an uncertain Wae.
With a nod of his head at the volcanic backdrops, he gulped at the thought of how easy it was for their overlord toe knocking on their door if he needed to.
"Go on, you all do the honors." Hisha cajoled.
Kritz hid a growing smile at the emotional trauma that Hisha''s behavior was having on his tribal chiefs.
Their suspicion levels were raised to the extreme and they couldn''t think more than the fact that it was all Wae''s fault.
Left with no choice, they stepped in, with Kritz following up from behind and then finally Hisha.
*****
In Winst¨CLycan territory,
''Have I ever been here?'' Hisha tried to hide his curious eyes at the strange terrain of the Lycans.
The heat was also something he was concerned about and wondered how they had managed to keep a cool temperature living in a ce just like this.
[If you haven''t, how could you open a portal to Winst?]
''A simple yes or no would have done.'' Hisha snapped and rolled his eyes.
Hisha could catch a glimpse of the hateful res his way as they walked towards the fortress.
His eyes were focused on the little children who were dressed in dirty pieces of fabric barely held together, hanging from their shoulders like a discarded old towel.
Scorch marks could be seen through the huge tear on the left side, which leaves much of the little boy exposed to the elements.
A girl was in a scraggy coat over her dress. A little too big, torn and spot marks on her face and her red hair.
From a quick observation, Hisha understood they were siblings from the simrities in their blue eyes and red hair.
"Get away from there!" A woman called out to the children, pulling on their shirts, ripping them beyond repair which made them wail and reach out to Hisha.
"Please, give us some food." The girl''s eyes teared up, wiping at her cheeks and pulling on her younger brother''s arm.
Wae stepped in between Hisha and the girl, snarling with his eyes glowing.
The girl retracted her hands, gasping for breath and running over towards the woman with a screech of pain and clutching her stomach.
''What the hell was that?!'' Hisha had his eyes linger on the children who scurried away, unsure if he was to confront Wae on what the state of his territory had been reverted to.
"You have some nerve hosting a feast, Wae." Vanas sneered, pulling on his cor with pride.
Wae grimaced at his words but looked away in guilt. This had been partially due to the verdict by Hisha and also his way of building up hatred of his people towards the overlord.
As much as Hisha didn''t appreciate any of his tribal chiefs, the children he had seen had struck a chord in his conscience and Vanas'' words had mirrored his thoughts on the situation of what the feast might have meant to him.
''This must have been a trap set by him to smear my name.'' Hisha frowned but kept silent.
"I had suggested we directly get to my fortress, yet you had given a lovely suggestion to our lord to take a tour around the ce," Wae replied with a grit of his teeth, rolling his eyes.
"Little did we know that you were hiding the mess of things in this hot barbaric ce." Vanas sneered and scoffed, making his way toward the huge metal gate.
A loud horn was blown upon the watch guards seeing their approach as the door was pulled open.
The five advisors rushed towards the door and bowed to wee their esteemed guests, Lychief and Overlord.
Draegul watched with a keen gaze on the bowing advisors while making a body count on them.
"Five?" He muttered, looking back at Wae.
Wae''s heart almost leaped into his throat as he hadn''t guessed anyone would notice the change in the usual number of advisors.
It had been over 200 years since the other tribal chiefs had made an official visit to his territory, the fact that Draegul could remember with such great detail was disturbing.
Shaking his head in a bid to plead to Draegul not to spill on the information at his disposal, Hisha caught on to the signal and raised a brow.
''What is wrong with the number, HTC?''
[The advisors of the Lychief have never gone below the number six, there can only be one unjust reason for the reduction]
''Death!'' Hisha deduced with a growing disdain for the Lychief.
"Where is thest advisor?" Hisha cut in with a frown.
The advisors kept their heads bowed, but their bodies were shaking from fear of what this could mean when they would be alone with their Lychief.
Wae sweat dropped at the question, his heart sinking at being caught.
"He''s dead due to insubordination, but the lot has not been carried out to get another for the time being." Wae tried to make light of the situation by letting out a little chuckle.
There was a gasp from the advisors as they stared down and tried to maintain theirposure.
"Does it look to you that I find this funny?" Hisha snarled with a stoic expression.

Chapter 121 One Chance To Redeem Yourself
''Oh shit!'' Wae''s heart thumped loudly as he took several steps back and dropped to his knees.
Shaking his head with a sigh of disappointment, he looked over to the advisors.
Their long ck robes couldn''t conceal the sunken sockets and lean faces and necks.
If he didn''t have an idea of what Wae was trying to do, he wouldn''t have understood the dire situation.
"Do you all receive the monthly allocation of funds from my citadel?!" He thundered, startling the advisors.
"Don''t even think about it!" Hisha cut short their lingering eyes drifting towards Wae for confirmation.
Left with no choice but to respond truthfully, they could only nod their heads to verify.
Vanas was the first to burst outughing, yfully pping Mich''s shoulder.
Avoiding yet another hit, Mich took four steps back and rubbed his arm, his faceced with disgust.
"Wae, you never seem to amaze us and Lord Hisha." Vanasughed while pointing a mocking finger in his direction.
Wae winced at the mockery but was unable to speak much due to the presence of Hisha, he could only mutter incoherent curses at Vanas.
Pretending as though he didn''t hear a word, Hisha proceeded to walk ahead into the fortress.
The advisors lowered their heads even further, "long live the overlord."
''Disgusting!'' Hisha thought with a sigh, stopping in front of the stone wall leading down the corridor.
Gggrrrnn!
The doors were pushed open by two buffed-up Lycans.
Taking a nce at them, Hisha could almost mistake them as bodybuilders on steroids.
Looking over his shoulder, "If I''m not satisfied with the feast, you will reap the consequences."
Getting to his feet in a rush, Wae hurriedly sprinted to Hisha''s side, gesturing towards the left that leads to the dining hall.
"Finally some food of barbaric Lycans," Vanasmented with a grin, putting both hands behind his head as he walked on with the others.

Crash!
nk!
Crrk!
They all watched with horror as a maid slipped on the wooden floor, and had a jar of wine spill on Hisha.
A barrier prevents it from sshing on the rest present at the table, before disintegrating.
Kritz got to his feet, his red eyes burning with rage, his ws barred, and on the verge of attacking the maid if Hisha had not stopped him with the wave of his hand.
''What in the actual fuck?!'' Hisha sat frozen on his chair, staring at the floor littered with ss shards of the jug, red wine dripping from his hair and causing ripples to form on the floor.
[That wasn''t idental!]
"My lord!" Wae got to his feet, mming his palms on the table.
ring at the maid who trembled in fear of what she had done, clutching onto the silver tray as if her life depended on it, she shook her head in disbelief and mortification.
Calling on his guards, Wae pointed an using finger at the maid, ordering them to behead her as a punishment. If he could silence her before she would let out a much sinister secret that had been ruined.
"Lychief Wae... I did this because ofa€¡°" her words were muffled by a gag forced into her mouth by one of the guards.
Hisha raised his hand, freezing the guards in ce which allowed the maid to break free but fall on her back.
Coughing out the gag, she pushed back at the sight of the guards immobile.
All tribal chiefs stared with fear at the dangerous ability disyed by their lord. The very one which could negate any of their attempts at getting to him if he was aware.
"Youa€¡°" he pointed in the direction of the maid even though his attention was still on the floor.
Getting to her feet, the maid continually bowed her head while crying out apologies for how it was nothing but a stupid mistake.
"Mistake?" Hisha cackled with a mischievous glint, wiping at his face.
The moment it touched his lips a bit, he felt a sting.
[Toxins detected]
''As I thought.'' Hisha chuckled, wiping at his lips.
[Detoxification in process]
[Loading... 1%... 23%...]
[Sux depletion: 660]
Ding!
[Detoxificationplete]
Hisha''s eyes were in a rage, unintentionally punching a hole right through the stone dining table.
Mich, who had been sitting beside Hisha, jumped to his feet to avoid some form of transfer of aggression.
''My fucking Sux drastically depleted because of a lethal poison?!'' Hisha''s yelled in his thoughts as his brows twitched in frustration.
[It was either that or your pointsa€¡°thetter would be equally devastating]
Hisha stared into nothingness, deep in thought on his next action.
''Should I just kill him here and now? What is the best way to deal with this and still benefit?'' Hisha let out a low hum, narrowing his eyes.
No one dared move an inch as they awaited Hisha''s reaction.
Wae''s hidden grin was slowly getting demoralized and unsure if the poison had any effect on Hisha.
Even though Hisha is immortal, it was still meant to leave him bedridden for at least a month of rest to slow down the selection process of the harem members and ultimately leave him vulnerable to an attack.
''This doesn''t look good.'' Wae internally facepalmed as he watched Hisha''s silent demeanor as he stared at the floor.
"Hahaha!" Hisha broke out in maniacalughter, pping his hands. "When I wanted a feast, I had not imagined being doused in merriment."
Several tribal chiefs tilted their heads or furrowed their brows in confusion. As did some of the guests present for the feast.
Kritz frowned, knowing his lord was on the verge of going ballistic.
Wae gave a nervousugh to ease his troubled soul on the reason for theughter by Hisha.
"The maid needs to be punished for her transgressions!" Wae snarled at the maid, causing her to shrink back in fear.
"Punished? Why do that in hiding, when I can do so now?" Hisha had a wicked smirk.
Making a grabbing gesture, he utilized his telekic grip on the maid''s neck.
[What are you thinking, host? You can''t!]
''Shut the hell up and trust me!'' Hisha snapped in rage at the distraction to the elevated mood he was experiencing.
[...]
Gasp!
Gasp!
Raised above floor level, the maid had her legs dangling as she felt her neck squeezed, choking out the air from her lungs.
"Now, do I have your attention?" He red at the maid, "nod if yes, struggle if no."
Mich pulled on his chair so he could at least watch the scenes unfold as he created enough distance between Hisha and his current sitting location.
Trying her best to be still, she nodded her head.
"Would you do the honors and be audible enough so others can hear you?"
Left with no choice, she nodded her head while grabbing a hold of the invisible aura that grabbed her neck.
Letting go of her neck, Hisha had his elbows on the table, steepling his fingers and resting his chin on them.
"I need nothing but the truth, anything less than that, you will die!" He warned.
Gulp!
There was a collective reaction from everyone as they felt the words directed at them if in the same situation.
"Why did you spill it on me? I know it wasn''t a slip!" He hissed, narrowing his eyes at the maid.
Pushing back her blonde hair, her blue eyes trembled in fear at being caught red-handed, and had no other choice than reveal it gradually.
"I had second thoughts about dispensing it in your cup." She whimpered, looking down in dejection.
Wae mmed his palm on the table, "my lord, she has no reason to justify her action and should bea€¡°"
Raising his hand, Hisha didn''t bother switching his gaze to Wae who felt his body weight lighten as he was lifted in the air.
Brushing his hand to the side, Wae was thrown across the windows and the wall before making a final crash into one of the windows, his head out the window and the rest still inside the dining hall.
Blood trailed down his forehead before he felt his body being pulled and forced to take a seat.
The crash made Wae stiffened on his seat with a bloodied face.
Unable to turn his attention to Hisha, Wae bit down on his bottom lip.
Everyone had wide eyes at what had transpired in the blink of an eye, but the very person who had this disturbing revtion was the maid with quivering lips.
"If anyone doesn''t want that brief preview happening to them, I would suggest that you all watch as I unveil this truth." Hisha hissed in caution.
Folding his arms, Kritz red at the maid with murderous intent, sensing there was more to just what she let on.
"You have one chance to redeem yourself, use it wisely." Hisha threatened with a devilish grin focused on the maid.

Chapter 122 Straight To The Point
The maid crouched, trembling at the thought of being truly killed.
Sensing her indecisiveness, Hisha turned his burning resentment towards a guard.
Making a clench, the guard to the left exploded, sttering blood and skin all over those on the opposite side of the table.
There was a scream and gasp in shock from the unfortunate guest, with Vanas being an exception.
Wiping down his face and dly licking the blood, Vanas'' eyes temporarily glowed before reverting to a naughty grin.
A smirk tugged at Hisha''s lips, finding Vanas'' mannerisms intriguing.
Kritz bit down on his bottom lip to stifle augh at the shocked expression of the guests, their eyes wide in disbelief.
But all that wasn''tpared to the mortified look on Wae, although unable to speak, that simple action had reminded him and everyone present how frightening their overlord was.
Turning his attention back to the maid while giving a disturbing smile, "my patience is a little thin, I needed to vent it out on something beforeing over to a beautiful dish."
''Beautiful dish...'' Those words rang in the maid''s head knowing she was the said dish. In a bid to distract herself just a little bit, she wiped down the blood on her face with her dress with trembling hands.
[Can you sacrifice your immortality to kill a mere maid?]
''Heck no! You''re meant to be the smart one here.'' Hisha countered, disappointed that he had his system fooled by his act.
He wouldn''t deny the fact that he was acting on built-up anger from his rapid Sux depreciation, but it all stemmed from the fact that from the spill if he had not been quick to shield the rest, the maid was ready to drag others alongside him.
[All of this because of your Sux?]
''How about you being in my shoes and counting the number of times when you have a peaceful sleep?!!!'' Hisha barked in his thoughts.
Although he had a fair share of Sux at his disposal, it also meant he would have to restrict his actions that needed it until it was replenished.
[...]
Bowing her head with the tips of her blonde hair soaked in blood as it spread out on the floor, she cried out her reasons driven by her unwillingness to go through with the given direction.
Raising his hand and stopping her from mentioning Wae as the obvious culprit, "it wasn''t that hard, was it?"
Lifting her head, tears trickling down her cheeks, she shook her head.
Hisha tilted his head to the side and at a traumatized Wae, "my apologies on the loss of a guard, how about you do to this maid how you see fit after our departure?"
The maid yelped at the news, bowing her head continuously, knowing the sort of fate that awaited her if she was spared and left at the mercy of her Lychief.
"You don''t want that?" Hisha chuckled, leaning his cheek on his palm.
Shaking her head continuously, she pleaded to be taken in as a maid in his citadel. That way she would be able to spend all her life in his service as a redemption.
Wae watched, unable to speak except when asked.
"I wouldn''t want you ''poisoning'' the minds of my other faithful maids, a loss of more staff isn''t part of my ns in the future." Hisha countered with a grin.
"I would never, my lord!" She begged, bowing her head once more.
Narrowing his eyes at the maid, a wicked idea sprung on the effective method of getting Wae to sign a blood contract.
"Wae, I would like to speak with you two privately." He pointed at the maid who got to her feet in a hurry.
With a little bow and a nod of his head, he got to his feet, walking towards the door to lead the way.
Stopping and thinking of what this might mean for the rest of the watch, he forced a smile. "This is a feast, enjoy your meal everyone! The maids would bring a fresh batch of the dishes."
With a p of his hands, several maids burst through the doors, with covered dishes in hand as they quickly swapped the dishes smeared in blood or cold.
They all gazed at the food, unsure if they could eat it without an ounce of worry for their safety.
Hisha nodded to Kritz so he would supervise and watch the rest while he spoke with Wae and the maid privately.
"It''s this way." Wae gestured to his left before walking ahead, directing the way.
*****
Click!
Closing the door behind him, Hisha''s eyes roved the little room with suspicion as the walls were outlined with glowing molten magma.
With no furniture in sight, he could only visualize a glowing red mineral that was stacked to the ceiling at the corner of the room.
Wae walked over to the huge pile to pick up a few to bring to Hisha.
''What are those?''
[Smolten magma made with Sux¨Cthe very source of the Lycan''s pride and form of personal ie. It''s called Magae]
''If it''s that way, why has it piled up so high?''
[Ever since your verdict, everyone has been wary of the Lycans Magae and would only request or have dealings with them when necessary]
Hisha frowned, finally realizing the extent to which his words had caused the Lycans to lose the favor of others.
Dropping some Magae on the floor, Wae made a circr motion while it fed on his Sux.
Materializing, it created a chair for Hisha.
''Interesting!'' Hisha grinned as he took the gesture as a form of appeasement.
? Anxiously waiting for Hisha''s words, he took a careful nce at the maid, ring daggers at the maid.
Flinching and avoiding his gaze, the maid focused her attention on the floor, unsure about what lies in front of her.
"I''d be straight to the point." Hisha began.
"You have two options,"
Putting forward two of his fingers, he watched Wae struggle to keep hisposure.
"One..." Hisha barked a little too loudly, startling Wae and the maid.
[Aren''t you overdoing this a little too much?]
''Not quite...''
"... you are free to do whatever you want with her, but I am obliged to know who had put her up for that little stunt and have the culprit castigated for my satisfaction."
Gulp!
The maid shook her head at Wae, knowing at the very least, she would still be at the mercy of death if left behind.
Wae gave a quick thought to the condition, if she were to talk, she would definitely spill the beans to implicate him and the whole point of having her with him for her punishment would be futile.
"And the other, my lord?"
"I take possession of the maid in my citadel but in turn, she is punished with a speech impediment and given twice as much workload as my maids."
The maid dropped to her knees, nodding her head continuously, reaching out to the hem of Wae''s pants.
If it meant being mute and having just a bit of extra work, she would dly take it over death.
Wae contemted the offer, wondering what would be his benefit if he were to go with thetter.
Kicking the maid''s hand off his pants, he spat and rained profanities at her for being so quick to suggest epting the offer on his behalf.
"Don''t worry about the benefits, I have that taken care of," Hisha assured, ignoring what had transpired.
Freezing the maid in ce, he needed the deal made to be just a secret between the two of them.
"I need this to be between the two of us." He joked in a hushed tone with his index finger over his lips.
Snapping his fingers, a floating glowing piece of paper darted toward Wae and spread out in front of him.
Wae stumbled back and fell at being startled by it, getting back to his feet but also skeptical about the nk piece of paper.
"ce your hand on it." Hisha nodded to the paper, trying his best to hide his amusement at knowing what else Waecked.
"My lord..."
"It''s my way of sealing an unbreakable deal and giving you the benefits of epting thetter." Hisha shrugged, nodding once more to the paper.
Left with no choice, Wae gulped as he reached out to ce his hand on the paper.
"Nnngh!" He let out a low growl as he felt tiny jabs under his palm.
Withdrawing his hand, he stared at his finger in shock but was quick to see tiny blood particles gathering and forming a swirl pattern that brought out the true state of the contract.
Forming into small letters, he watched as they formed the very thing he wascking¨Csubmission, allegiance, and ountability.
Calling back the paper, Hisha burst into a chuckle.
''As expected, it''s majorly these two attributes but now I got another to hang on.''
"Would you like to know what these three attributes mean?" Hisha tested with a smirk.
Chapter 123 You Can Do Anything With Her
"This wasn''t part of the agreement, my lord. What''s with the attributes outlined?" Wae stared at the paper.
p!
"Good question," Hisha smiled.
Flipping the paper so Wae could have a better look at it, Hisha read out the attributes, "it is clearly shown what youck in respect to me and my ns for Kurg."
Wae stood dumbfounded and at a loss for words.
Not giving him any chance to exin, he ced his thumb on the signature right corner, a blood stamp extracted as the tiny jabs pierced and withdrew.
As it hovered above Hisha''s palm, he set it up in mes.
"It''s settled, you will gain the benefit of the contract as promised."
Wae growled, clutching to his chest as a wave of overwhelming energy washed over him, and nearly instantly the pain he had felt vanished and his wounds healed rapidly.
Huff!
Huff!
He let out a sigh of relief but instantly regretted it when he felt his breath strain and his heartbeat quicken.
"Don''t fret, it''ll reduce soon," Hisha waved his hand, wondering how his tribal chiefs couldn''t handle the little surge in their energy.
Feeling his chest ease up, Wae opened one of his eyes and exhaled, slowly dropping his hand from his chest to his side.
Taking the initiative to exin what had happened to him, he pped his hand to gain his attention. "What just happened was the reward gained in exchange for the attributes youck."
Still, in confusion, Wae furrowed his brows, wondering why his vision had gotten clearer and his senses heightened.
Being able to see an overwhelming Sux seething off Hisha, he took a few steps back, intimidated.
"If you do maintain your end of the bargain, you will have ess to the augmentation and the maid would be mute and bound by the work she''s to be put under."
Wae let out a low chuckle at having gained a lot from the contract and getting away from being suspected.
''You will be at the losing end!'' He cackled in his thoughts as he took a nce at the maid.
Getting to his feet, Hisha circled Wae while making a body check as though a predator to prey.
"I don''t think you understand the cause and effect of this contract." Hisha smiled while standing in front of Wae casting a shadow on him.
"I don''t understand, my lord."
"Of course, you won''t, it''s expected." Hisha was quick to affirm with a nod.
The urge to burst outughing at how stupid and overzealous his tribal chiefs were to be blind to a possible use was both amusing and disturbing.
Patting Wae on the head like he would do a pet, he could feel Wae stiffen under his touch before he withdrew once more.
"If you fail to work on the traits youck, this maid would bepelled to spill a secret at a time that had been buried in her subconscious or hindered by her speech impediment..."
He paused, expecting a reaction from Wae, knowing for a certainty that if the maid were to eventually spill all that she knew, Wae''s dirty deeds were bound to be exposed¨Cnot only about the attempted poisoning but some hidden ones she might have witnessed.
Wae flinched and gulped, his eyes looking over to another corner of the room, trying his best to calm his racing heart.
He could almost feel that Hisha did know what he had done but was ying stupid so he could trick him to sign the contract.
He had almost opened his mouth to defend himself when Hisha continued.
"If the maid is killed by anyone but me, you would too, so don''t have any funny ideas." Hisha chuckled, ruffling Wae''s hair, turning his attention to the maid still frozen in ce.
Humming and tracing his finger around the maid''s cheek, "not that you could infiltrate my citadel, but we wouldn''t want any problems of insiders, would we?"
"Of course not!" Wae spoke a little too loudly and impatiently.
He looked down immediately, shaken with fear of his n B being ruined as much as he could think.
Fists clenched beside him, he tried to maintain hisposure to the news and have a positive mindset.
''If I uphold my quota, I have nothing to lose and I get to keep my augmentation.'' He repeated in his thoughts to soothe his troubled spirit.
"Lest I forget, if you do try to spill on what had transpired between the two of us, you would have a year of your lifespan cut short, this is made easier for you to know when you feel a 5-second sharp pain in your head."
In front of Hisha was disyed the translucent screen of the life expectancy of Wae.
[4007 years, 11 months, 4 days]
Wae stumbled back at thest message, beyond shocked was an understatement. There was no way that his overlord could be lying, but he needed to test if this was true.
"I have never gone against what was given to me and my pe¨C"
A sharp pain shot through his head and rocked his body as he coughed out a bit of blood, falling to the ground.
[4006 years, 11 months, 4 days]
"Ooh, you thought I was joking?" Hishaughed at the spray of blood on the floor.
Evading all blood spills on the floor, he clicked his tongue, "I hope this is enough proof, be d she''s still frozen or I would have been curious enough to listen to what sort of secrets she keeps."
Gasp!
Gasp!
Pulling him by the cor and a few inches off the ground, Hisha raised Wae while holding his gaze, "the fact that you just reacted to your words just shows how untrue that was, be mindful of what you say in your thoughts or in front of me."
Wae grimaced at the tone used to deliver the message, trying to look down but being forced to look at Hisha.
Slowly easing his grip on Wae, he forced a smile. Smoothing out the creases as though he was sorry for his actions.
"Where are my manners?" He let out a disturbing low chuckle that made Wae tremble with every adjustment Hisha made to his clothing and hair.
Dusting his hands, Hisha took three steps back and sat back down on the chair.
Snapping his fingers, the maid let out a gasp before looking around her to get ustomed to what had happened.
"Be d, you areing along with me," Hisha announced with a grin.
The maid had wanted to speak and offer her gratitude but was struck with the realization of her loss of speech.
Her head whipped to her Lychief, it had dawned on her that he had epted the offer, but she couldn''t understand how he had chosen to go through with it.
Wae frowned the moment they locked eyes, the corner of his lips raised in a snarl.
"My lord, you can do anything with her, she could offer more than just serving services and most especially¨C"
"I''ll pass." Hisha shut him up and got to his feet.
Wae blinked a few times in shock at the quick rejection, although it was strange that this tactic didn''t work just like in the throne hall, he was more than confused that a lustful ruler had casually turned the offer down.
Stretching, Hisha yawned and turned his attention to the door. "Now that we have that settled, I''d like to have a taste of the feast promised."
[You think of food, now?]
''What''s the point of getting here when I won''t have a bite?''
[You have points to spare. I have noments, host]
Wae had his shoulders drooped in disappointment as he nodded, reluctant to lead the way back.
Click!
*****
In the dining hall,
Burp!
All attention was drawn to Hisha as he had a big grin with satisfaction.
Kritz had a little smile, understanding his lord was merely trying to lighten the situation after what he had done before leaving with Wae.
The maid who was at the beck and call of Hisha and in charge of Hisha''s food was a little suspicious to him but he couldn''tin as she was treated well by Hisha and she obeyed every single request he had put through to her.
Although it had eased up his workload, he was still weary of her motives after what she had done earlier.
mming his palms on the table, Hisha raised his head, only to be shocked by the various body responses from everyone present.
Some of the guests had their soup spilled on their dress coats from the loss of hold on their spoons from their temporary shock.
Looking to his left, Mich had water trailing out his nose after choking on the water he drank.
Vanas and a few others had their cutleries gripped so hard it looked like it would break.
All weren''tparable to Wae''s visible emotional trauma written on his face as his brows twitched with wide eyes staring down at his table and exhaling slowly to calm his nerves.
''Did I do something wrong?''
Chapter 124 You Are All Fools!
Kritz got to his feet, his hands behind him. "Lord Hisha is pleased with your meal, as you can see, he will be taking his leave now."
[You seem to have forgotten your words to Wae about the feast... something about how you would feel about it and its effect on Wae. Let''s not forget about the little trick you pulled earlier]
''Oh!''
"Thank you, Kritz." Hisha smiled, patting him on the shoulder.
Responding with a nod, Kritz moved to his side, alert and ready.
"You passed this arguably well, it was entertaining, to say the least." Hisha led on with a nod.
Wae covered his nervousness with a chuckle and a nod of appreciation.
"I hope to get more invitations like this." Hisha continued with a thumbs up.
Opening a portal and letting his words sink in before stepping in with Kritz and the maid following behind.
Zwwp!
The guests and the tribal chiefs blinked several times at what had transpired and there was a brief silence before Vanas spoke up first.
"You are stupid, Wae!"
Wae mmed his palm on the table, closing his eyes and gritting his teeth. "Get the fuck out, I need to be alone with my fellow tribal heads!"
Hurrying out of their seats, some swipe some food from the bowls and trays.
"Halt!" He snapped loudly, opening his eyes.
They all stood frozen in shock, unable to run even if they wanted to when the reced guards stationed at the door blocked the exit with their spears crossed over one another.
Letting out a sigh and pinching the bridge of his nose, Wae shook his head in disappointment at what he was about to do to keep his ountability in check.
"You are allowed to take as much food as you can, but..."
They all stared at him in shock, almost certain this was nothing but an illusion that they needed to get out of.
"... you must give any of the Lycans outside of my fortress a portion of what you take and mention your status and name."
They all frowned in confusion, wondering why they needed to go through that stress to let some random Lycan have a little share of what they had gotten.
"If you don''tply, consider your status and privilege thates with it, stripped!" He threatened.
"I will inspect to verify if any of you had done as I instructed!" He continued, ring at every one of them.
Gulp!
Getting the memo, they nodded their heads and rushed to get what they could and give out what they could.
Draegul narrowed his eyes at Wae, sensing something had changed in the usual tyrannical chief of Winst.
Not one with a lot of words, he waited it out for the others toment on what he had noticed.
As soon as the guests were let out, Wae dismissed his guards for added privacy with the other tribal chief.
"Vanas, as much as I respect you, you need not trifle with my patience and calm demeanor!" He countered through gritted teeth.
Scoffing at the boneless threat, Vanas leaned with his elbows on the table with a growing grin.
"Why do I have a feeling your mindset changed once you met with lord Hisha?" Vanas mocked with a grin.
Wae closed his eyes, not ready to be edged on by Vanas.
''It''s how he is, don''t get swayed by his words.''
Mich could almost get what had transpired but was more than curious to know how their lord could use what they werecking against them.
''I''m d I''m not the only one who would suffer this!''
A creepy smile made its way to his lips at the thought of what was used to trick Wae into signing the contract, but also not courageous enough to spill the beans on his ws.
"What are you smiling on, fish brain?"
"Shut the fuck up, Vanas!" Mich unintentionally blurted out.
The other four tribal heads were quieter than they ever were and would only speak or grunt when spoken to.
"Why can''t you be like Draegul?!" He pointed at a growling Draegul at the sign of a threat to him.
Dropping his finger, he gulped and facepalmed, shaking his head at how their ns were crumbling.
''How are we meant to bring down the overlord if he has two of us wrapped around his fingers?'' He wondered.
"I would not tolerate you disrespecting me in my territory!" Wae barked at Vanas, stunning thetter.
p!
p!
"Remember where you stand in the hierarchy!" Vanas hissed, his red eyes glowing with murderous intent.
For a brief second, Mich preferred Vanas'' childish and annoying side to his dangerous switch with red Sux seething off of him as he red at Wae.
"Bullshit!" Wae spat. "As far as I''m concerned, we are all in on this and if you care about that, then you''re a bigger fool than I had imagined."
Getting to his feet Aster raised hisbrys and brought it down on the stone table.
Mich and the rest of the tribal chiefs jumped off their seats in disbelief at what Aster had done.
The stone table was cut perfectly into two.
Being the tribal chief of the minotaurs, he wore iron armor, much like a corset, over his bulky and scarred body, iron rings around his arms, a red piece of cloth from his waist to his feet, split into two sections on his sides.
Around each ankle is an iron ring with a linked chain. His ck horns and mane of wild stood out just like Draegul had with his distinctive features.
Boom!
Boom!
The crash caused the guards to burst in to check on the damage that had been caused.
"It''s alright, leave us!" Waemanded.
Reluctantly, the guards backed up and closed the door behind them.
Aster made a grunt in satisfaction, his ck sclera and red pupils having a half glint of mischief. Combing his hand through his white hair he spat to the side.
"You all are fools if this is how you handle the situation!" Aster barked, swinging hisbrys carelessly which the others had to carefully dodge to avoid getting hit.
''I take back my words, that''s three tribal heads who are quiet.'' Mich made a mental note, facepalming at being considered a fool.
Wae had his ws barred, angered by the fact his precious table was ruined in such a manner.
"You''ve got some nerve destroying my table." He growled at Aster.
Scoffing and rolling his eyes, Aster shook his head. "It''s nothing but stone anyways, not some Magae that your tribe holds so dear! Suck it up, Wae."
Draegul shook his head in disappointment, raising his hand to the surprise of everyone.
"Can I speak?" He calmly responded, shocking everyone to submission and a chilly silence followed.
"None of us can dispute that, Draegul." Wae hid his nervousness with a chuckle, urging him to speak.
Draegul had blue fire cover his wed index finger, making a swirl of it as though ying it out as he watched it grow dramatically and embersing off it before he made a clench.
"As much as I am curious as some of you are on the new development of our lord, it would be stupid to lose the sense of the bigger ns we had set all these while." Draegul''s chilly voice made them all watch him, unable to speak until he was done.
"A fight between any one of us is just what would be the downfall of any who gets their true motive clouded by these petty things."
''Easy for you to say, I can''t even plot anything without having to worry about the pain and my lifespan at risk.'' Mich deadpanned.
Leaning on the wall, he rified. "I wouldn''t want to be forced to use my abilities on any of you before you see reason on what is of greater priority."
"Do you see this, this is the reason why he''s at the top of our hierarchy!" Vanas praised, looking at the others in disgust while shaking his head.
"Shut up! Don''t act all high if you also had it in mind to challenge me with your bullshit words." Wae snapped.
Draegul shook his head and took a step back to look through the window. It was pointless trying to speak with them without using a bit of violence.
He watched as some of the Lycans stood outside the metal gates of Wae''s fortress.
"I think you''d be interested in what''s going on outside." He beckoned Wae to have a look through the window.

Chapter 125 Why Would I Reject This? °
[Slightly R-18]
*****
Wae peered out, a brow raised at the numerous praiseing from some older men and women below while waving their pieces of meat, bread, or clutching a bowl of soup they had been given on behalf of the Lychief.
Taking a step back, Wae used his hand to wipe down his face as heughed at the weird turn of events in his favor.
''ountability, huh?'' He muttered to himself.
Before Vanas could evenment on what had transpired, he pointed an using finger at him. "I would like you to shut up just this once."
Vanas raised his hands in surrender, "does it look like I care about this petty shit?"
Draegul had a smile, patting Wae on the shoulder, "good luck with the attention."
Giving a knock on the door, he waited till it opened up and stepped out without another word.
The other tribal chiefs stood for a while before Mich rushed out in a hurry, taking the opportunity of an escape to get back to his territory.
Kenna was his utmost priority and the answers that led up to her strange ckout.
Wae looked at the rest, expecting they would leave just like the rest.
Vanas scoffed and dusted his coat and adjusted his raised cor and transformed into a bat, flying out of the window.
pping his wings, he paused and looked back at Wae, "that was some good food, I hope more explodes."
"Why you!" Wae hissed and had his hand clenched to his side, almost tempted to throw anything within his reach.
Whoosh!
He flew at top speed with red streaks trailing behind him.
"It was fun." Aster nced at the sliced table and snickered before leaving with the others following behind him.
Wae pulled on one of the chairs and sat down, reminiscing on all that had happened in such a rush.
"All praise to our Lychief Wae!"
"We are saved from starvation!"
''Shit!'' Wae pinched the bridge of his nose and red out the window.
This wasn''t part of his ns, he needed their hate and not an appraisal, or how else could he channel all of their hate to good use?
"I will find another way!" He vowed with a burning rage staring into nothingness.
*****
In Hisha''s room,
Laying t on the bed and staring at the ceiling, Hisha had his hand behind him with a smile.
Sigh!
[You had a wonderful time, right, host?]
''Did you see the look on their faces?!'' Hisha beamed with enthusiastic energy.
''My stats, I''d like to see the shitty Sux!'' He rolled his eyes and shook his head.
_________
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1006]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 340/1000]
[Meretrix: 2]
[Points: 81000]
[Exp: 54]
_________
Sitting up, he ced his hands on his thighs, clutching to his chest.
Grimacing at the feeling, sweat drops formed on the side of his face and his mouth watered.
''What''s going on, HTC?''
[You have been so distracted by other activities that your body craves some sexual release]
''Lord Hisha, your body is strangelypelling, is this your desire or mine?'' He sneered at the thought of his body still reacting to what it had been used to.
[Well it is your body now, host!]
HTC deadpanned, ruining the moment of self-denial Hisha was going through.
There was no justifying that he was gradually bing more of a lustful ruler just like the previous host¨Cif not worse in the future.
''Thanks for the reminder.'' Hisha sarcastically replied, rolling his eyes and breathing out to calm his thoughts and try fighting them.
[You don''t want to get the opportunity to have some fun with another set of meretrix?]
HTC was more than stunned at its host''s effort to counter his urges.
Hisha took a handful of the bedsheet, feeling overwhelmed by his desire, his green eyes fluctuating asionally.
[Until you can surpass the lustful desire stats, there''s no way of countering what you are meant to be d for]
Hisha chuckled amidst his struggle, as much as he wanted to counter it and have it with only those who had won in the tournament, he exhaled and nodded his head in defeat.
''That can be arranged.'' Hisha shook his head and got to his feet in a hurry.
His fists clenched beside him and his teeth gritting before getting his acts together.
It was about time he checked out those he could utilize in meretrix-03.
''When I can control this, I will have some talking with the original host.''
*****
In meretrix-03,
Opening the door to a knock, Hei took several steps back in awe at the one who had knocked.
"Who is it?!"
Hei felt a tug on herce nightdress, pushed aside.
"How could you open the door without knowing who¨C"
Hisha stepped into the room, having a good look at thedy who had a floating ''[Meretrix 03-9]''.
Raising his chin with pride, he smirked at the smittendy who had a facemask smeared on her face and a white towel wrapped around her hair like a turban.
''They have this sort of beauty treatment here too?''
[Does this look like the prehistoric era, host?]
''Tsk, you''re no fun.''
Her face was heated in embarrassment, blowing at her face, and walked back to her chair to which she had been facing a mirror.
The moment she sat down, she had her hand covering her face to obstruct his attention on her.
''Why now! He saw me like this!'' She thought in a panic, muttering incoherent words whilst her heart was pounding like crazy.
Hisha smiled at how cute her action was, his aim was now focused on her.
"Wee to our room, my lord!" They all chorused with a slight bow.
[Meretrix: 14]
With a light nod in their favor, he walked up to Meretrix 03-9, stretching out his hands to her.
She had not noticed at first until she raised her head to the side remarks from the others on how lucky she had gotten to attract their overlord.
"My lord?" She timidly responds, unsure if she could take his hand with a face like hers.
[Exp+1]
''Ha! I still got it!'' Hisha had a smirk, taking the initiative to pull her up and in his arms.
Making a swipe movement over her face, the facemask dissolved and vanished as though it was never applied.
Pulling off the towel on her head, her purple hair flowed behind her, causing her to shiver under his grasp at how easy it was for him to have his way with her without a word.
This made him realize how beautiful she looked with her porcin skin and sea-green eyes staring back at him.
His gaze was fixated on her pink lips which had him biting down on his bottom lips.
The sexual tension in the air permeated as the rest watched the two, wondering how this was going to y out.
Hei could remember what Darcia had told her in the bathhouse, how he had managed to handle all fourteen meretrix in 02.
''Is this the time she was speaking of?'' She wondered as she found herself groping her left breast as Darcia had exined.
Dirty thoughts suddenly crossed her mind as she watched Hisha pull Reina in for a kiss.

[Exp+1]
Slipping down Reina''s loose strap, she moaned into his mouth, pushing her bust against his chest, and wrapping her arms around his neck.
Hisha held the urge to groan in pleasure when he felt a hand stroke him from the side.
Taking a quick peek at who had managed to get so close to him and stroke him, he was able to tell she was Hei¨Cthe very female he had handed Darcia over after screwing her over.
Her shy gaze at the time had all crumbled and was reced with a sultry gaze the moment they locked eyes once he broke off from the kiss.
Her hands grabbed onto her breasts, kneading them to entice and draw him to her.
The others joined in, eagerly stripping. No one wanted to lose out on an opportunity to have a taste of what their overlord could do.
The news of his prowess had spread among other meretrixs with some having been present at the time while Darcia had bragged to the rest in the bathhouse or the fact that even Darcia had passed out due to having a one-on-one time with Hisha.
''My! My! Why so eager?'' Hisha looked around him at the number ofdies reaching for his pants and some caressing his bare chest and pressing onto him.
''I was wrong, HTC! Why the heck would I want to reject any of this?!'' Hisha admitted.

Chapter 126 Could You Keep Up? ?
[R18]
*****
"My lord, please let me." Hei moaned, feeling his chest, and pulled him in for a wet kiss.
Some of the harem members looked in shock at the courageous act of Hei as opposed to when they were in the bathhouse.
Sessfully distracted, Hisha turned his attention toward her, much to the dismay of Reina.
Not giving a chance to get outshined, Reina leaned in on Hisha, pushing her butt cheeks and giving it a shake over his crotch.
''Fuck!'' Hisha cursed to the exhrating feeling.
He had realized how different each meretrix was to his visits, arguably it was getting better with each different visit.
Looking over to the bed, five of his harem members were lying on the bed, their legs spread out for him.
For some weird reason, he had his attention solely on thedies with him¨Cspecifically Reina and Hei.
cing his hand on Reina''s waist, he gave a slight jerk which rewarded him with a little gasp from her.
''I would like to test out something.'' Hisha thought with a dubious grin.
With a snap of his fingers, those who were still trying their best to suck up on him were transported to the bed.
Making sure the bed was adjusted to amodate seven to eight bodies while lying vertically, he watched as each one had another over her.
[What do you want to do, host?]
''Why start with one, when I can do two at the same time?''
[...]
Undressing, his cock sprung with pride as he approached thest set of pairs.
His grin widened when he observed they were none other than Hei and Reina.
Naked, they had their cheeks flushed at the vulnerable position they found themselves in, with their cunts grazing one another and boobs squished by the other.
Reina who was on the top looked over her shoulder with ragged breathing.
cing his firm hold on her waist, Hisha leaned forward to engage in a wet kiss before pulling away.
Holding onto his cock, he teased their opening by gliding it upwards and downwards, watching as their secretion slowly coat his tip.
Looking to his side as the numerous moans permeated the room, he witnessed some of them trying to chase their release while grinding onto one another as they watched him.
Some of the others had their hands in their cunt with their breasts pressed onto one another with ecstatic faces.
''Definitely won''t work!'' Hishamented and chose to freeze them in time.
Needing to bypass the usual pain they felt when he would deflower them, he needed it to be as easy as possible so he could get maximum pleasure.
''HTC, I need an item from the inventory that would allow the deflowering process to be smoother for both parties...''
[Is that all, host?]
''No..'' Hisha pointed out, reminiscing on the bloody sheets in meretrix 02.
[I''m listening]
''Also get rid of the blood if there''s any, if I wasn''t surrounded by beauties, I''d be repulsed by the sight.''
[That would be the ease pill]
''What sort of name is that?''
[Do you have a better name, host?]
HTC deadpanned with a disappointing emoji.
Its main objective was to give rewards and help its host, the all-rounder request was an added feature to the inventory that made naming harder for it.
''Aren''t you the smart one?'' Hisha countered.
[As much as I would like to be superior in that respect, your requests are getting a little absurd, host]
Hisha''s mood was crushed by its response, but he couldn''t afford to be brought down with a boner.
''Are you going to do it or not?''
[EASE PILL, it is!]
[Cost of purchase: 3000 points]
[Method of usage: swallow the red pill, once coitus is made, a bit of your Sux would be released to easily disintegrate the hymen and rid the outflow of the blood from the rupture]
[Time limit: Once used, applies to all within 24 hours]
Hisha nodded his head, slightly shocked that it didn''t seem that he had gotten ripped off like the others.
''It looks slightly better than the rest option.'' Hishamented with a smile.
[Well... considering the numerous harem members that you might use this on, I am highly doubtful of your notion]
HTC reminded with a smirking emoji and wiggling brows at Hisha.
Hisha internally facepalmed at how true it sounded.
Nevertheless, nodding his head to the offer, he forced a smile knowing at the least it could be used once for numerousdies.
Ding!
[Ease pill purchased]
[umted points: 78000]
A red pill materialized, hovering in front of him.
Reaching out and picking it up, he swallowed it without a second thought.
Cringing at how bitter it tasted, he red at the user interface.
[It was never said it would be sweet, spare me that look, host!]
A rolling eyes emoji was stered before the window was closed, leaving him to continue with his harem.
''Woah!'' Hisha felt a sudden dizzy spell, shaking of the lightheadedness, his vision doubled.
Holding onto Reina''s waist to steady himself, he exhaled and slowly recovered with a strong lustful desire.
''Here I thought I needed sex the first time.'' Hishained, biting down on his bottom lip.
Releasing his time hold on just Hei and Reina, he had to hold back his strong desire to just thrust in.
They were too far gone in the little pleasure they were experiencing that they failed to notice the rest immobile.
Gliding his hand over the two, tiny green embers trailed which got absorbed in their skin.
Ssnnf!
Reina''s eyes glowed as did Hei, they were suddenly pumped with a simr energy that had possessed Hisha, coupled with excitement andck of care for their surroundings.
Reina bucked her hips, trying to impale herself on Hisha''s sheath and also having the friction make Hei moan to their cause and effect.
Dipping his finger into Reina''s cunt, he pulled out and was shocked by how the entirety of his index finger was covered in her juices and had dripped down his hand.
The moans he had heard while he had fingered Reina motivated him to test out the same with Hei.
Before he had all his fingers in, she bucked her hips uncontrobly much to the delight of Reina who was benefiting from the stimtion.
Unable to control the excitement, Reina fondled Hei''s breasts whilst pushing back on him to get him aroused enough to stop the tease.
Confirming that they were ready for him, he spread out her cunt, not needing to prep her, he gave a quick thrust and was balls deep.
Even though he had trusted the pill he had swallowed to be effective, he couldn''t help but think he would hear a shriek in pain.
''None?'' He thought in awe and excitement.
Pulling outpletely, he ced his coated tip in front of Hei''s.
Thrust!
Hei let out a series of pants and moans, covering her mouth to prevent her from screaming in ecstasy.
Gritting his teeth, Hisha exhaled while feeling Hei''s walls mp down hard on his cock.
''Fuck!!''
If he could stay in there, he was sure he would be sucked in and held hostage by his desire.
Pulling out two inches, Hei arched her back which pushed Reina to Hisha.
Pp!
Pp!
Pulling out, he switched by thrusting into Reina.
Pp!
Pp!
Picking up the rhythm, he maintained a two to a three-thrust pattern before switching from both of them.
Reina''s juices trailed from hers and onto Hei''s making the thrusts a lot easier to go through with Hei.
''Is... this... what... Darcia... had... talked about?'' Hei wondered as she had her head thrown back and was nearly on the verge of her first release.
With each thrust, she could feel a looming feeling in her crotch that made her suddenly moan out loudly and buck her hips wildly whenever she felt his thrusts.
Reina pushed back to meet with every thrust made.
~Mmmm!
~Ahhhh!
Slowly, Hisha had subconsciously stopped switching and thrust with reckless abandon into Reina.
Reina had her eyes rolled back and her mouth opened as shey limp, unable to keep up with his thrusts.
Pp!
Pp!
Convulsing from the orgasms, she bucked her hips onto Hei who patiently waited out her turn.
She had her attention on Reina''s lustful reaction to her orgasms.
Pp!
Pp!
Unable to take the intensity, Reina copsed onto Hei, exhausted.
Once she felt him pull out, she rolled to the side, breathing heavily and her eyes slowly closing.
Wasting no time to continue, he thrust into Hei once again. Stopping momentarily, he leaned closer to whisper in her ear.
"Could you keep up?" He pulled away with a grin as he searched her eyes which had lit up from his challenge.

Chapter 127 Not Yet Mine
Laying on his back, all fourteendies slept on his naked body.
His chest heaved slightly as he took a nce at all of them, a grin stered on his face.
[Lustful experience: 35/20000]
[Fetish: 4/20]
Hisha''s eyes rolled at the figure that was disyed in front of him.
''HTC do you derive joy in my misery?''
[There are some special cases where I would]
HTC put up a smirking emoji.
[This sort of situation is a lustful example of yourck of quick action]
''It is not sensible to have that in a short period! What did the original host have, centuries?''
[A year]
Hisha''s eyes bulged at the information, in disbelief at what was told.
''That''s... That''s more than fiftydies in a day!''
[Wrong it wasn''t about thedies but rather the experience, did you read the stats clearly?!]
[Lustful experience: 35/20000]
[Fetish: 4/20]
Hisha stared for a couple of seconds, with the information sinking in deeply, he gawked at the experience he needed to achieve.
[It was merely 57-60 lustful engagements he had a day]
''Merely...'' Hisha''s mood dropped even further in contrast with his.
He had merely engaged a total of thirty-five times and those weren''t in a day.
Hei pressed her breasts on his side, adjusting her sleeping posture, and letting out a sigh of satisfaction.
Hisha''s body stiffened before he rxed the moment the rest also adjusted to be morefortable in their positions.
[He had thrown most of his responsibilities to Kritz or his tribal chiefs]
''So I could have done that instead?'' Hisha contemted the thought but was quick to dispel it.
If he had walked down the same path as the original host, he wouldn''t have achieved what he had done in the span of the first few months of his stay in Kurg.
The tribal chiefs were bound to still treat him like an airhead that could be manipted with deceptive sweet talks or praises.
[If you choose to go with your lustful callings, I have no issue with it. I am but your desire system after all]
''Still a crazy amount of sex within a day.'' Hisha scoffed.
[...]
He had better ns ahead for himself and the mystery that surrounded him. He had taken a vow not to be as nonchnt as the original host.
Sigh!
''What did he do within the previous years before falling into deprivation?''
[A search for Dalsa, up until he gave up and confined himself within his citadel and nulled himself in the world of pleasure that was before the tournament]
''A whole year of sex before thinking of wanting to settle with just a few... smart!'' Hishamented with his wordsced with sarcasm.
His eyes bulged at what he had just heard meant¨Ca couple of centuries to search for Dalsa?!
''Is it that difficult to search for her?'' Hisha''s sweat dropped, losing faith in his ability to surpass that time frame and get any positive result.
[Unlike him, you have an added advantage]
''What''s that?'' Hisha raised a brow, almost certain he could guess what HTC would say.
[Me]
HTC put up wiggling brows on the screen to show how confident it was in its ability.
''Self-centered system!'' Hisha scoffed and let out a little chuckle.
When he felt a hand spread on his chest, it dawned on him that he was still among fourteendies.
If he could gauge his achievements, he would be confident enough to say he made much more progress than the centuries used to search for Dalsa.
''All I need is to gain up to 70% memory recovery, then your sealed lips would be opened?''
[I don''t have lips]
HTC deadpanned.
''You know what I mean, goddamnit.''
[It was fun to get your reaction]
HTC snickered with a devil emoji.
Narrowing his eyes at the ceiling, Hisha had a growing smirk. ''I will surpass him eventually.''
*****
In Mertac,
"Hik," Mich called out with a frown, walking down the hallway that led to where Kenna was kept.
Sprinting in chase of a fast-paced Merchief, Hik regted his speed and walked side by side with Mich.
"We still don''t have a word on the masked merfolks." He exined.
Skeptical about his words, he grimaced at the possible reaction of his friend.
Pushing the door in front of him, Mich kicked on the first furniture in sight.
There was a scream from some of the mermaids that resided to be for his entertainment and pleasure.
Mich red at them, "get... out!"
Crawling down from their bed, they sprinted out without a word.
Picking up a chair, Mich raised and brought it down with great rage.
Crash!
nk!
Picking the second chair, he threw it on the wood pile on the floor.
Crash!
His chest heaved angrily as he stared at the broken wooden pieces.
Looking over his shoulder, he forced a smile. "I feel slightly better."
''You aren''t.'' Hik corrected, taking a few steps back.
Hik stared at the broken chair and nodded his head even though he couldn''t understand what had prompted such a reaction.
With his shoulders drooped, he ced his hand on a pir, clutching to his chest. "Do you know the true reason for the need for that pearl?"
Hik stared at the floor, there was no need to guess if Mich made an emphasis on the ''true reason'' that had negated any thoughts he might have towards the reason.
"No, Mich."
Turning around, he closed the gap between them by pulling Hik''s silver ne.
"I will not let Kenna leave me in this struggle!" He barked with a hint of uncertainty.
Ever since he had failed to save Kenna from her fate, he had gotten a way to redeem himself.
"What does Kenna have to do with ¨C"
Hik paused, seeing the zing zeal in Mich''s eyes.
"You still love her..." He whispered in disbelief at his Merchief.
Letting go of Hik, Mich dug his hand through his hair, sniffling and wiping down his face.
Snnf!
He stared at the wall, punching numerous times to console himself.
"I wanted to rejuvenate her youthful appearance." He admitted.
He had always been in denial of his main motive when it came to Kenna, but his resolve had been slowly crumbling after visiting her hut.
Although Hik had stood in awkward silence as he processed the revtion. He furrowed his brows as he prepared to ask the very question that had managed to bottle up until currently.
"Frich..."
Mich hissed at the reminder, his mood darkened in preparation for the question to be asked.
"You had connived to have your brother killed." Hikid out his theory, getting the answers he needed from Mich''s demeanor.
"How does that rte to what I said?!" Mich hissed, taking a few steps forward, forcing Hik to take an equal step back.
"You needed your brother out of the way so you could get the pearl in your possession and have control of what you needed to use it for."
Mich took three steps back, his eyes widened in shock at how easy it was to deduce.
"You had made mention of wanting to return her youth, you could only do that when you were in line to be the next Merchief with blue blood."
Mich let out a little chuckle, "you know that''s why you are with me. You think wider and even more than me on some asions."
"I would track down those who deserve what''sing for them."
''I''m just d that bitch is dead! All I need is my freaking pearl!!!'' He thought as he clenched his fist.
Walking out of the room, he stared at the coral tag on the door. "That was a mistake I won''t allow to happen once more."
The guards stationed at the door bowed their heads, sharing a knowing look and walking away.
Click!
Mich slowly made his way to Kenna''s bedside, sitting on a wooden stool and staring down at her sleeping figure.
Hik stood out, closing the door in front of him to give them the needed privacy to bond.
Mich had a smile at the gesture and turned his attention to Kenna, feeling her hands, he rubbed her wrinkling fingers with a sad smile.
''I am sorry I couldn''t help in any way.'' He let out a sigh, leaning downwards and feeling her hands on his cheeks.
Feeling her breathing fan him just a bit, he suddenly felt the urge to kiss her on the lips.
''You can''t, she''s not yours¨Cyet and unconscious.''
Not going along with his protesting thoughts, he leaned in to fulfill his desire. ''It''s just a peck on the cheek, that should be excusable.''
"Don''t even think about it!"

Chapter 128 Whats Your Excuse?
Mich''s lips were puckered when he stopped and opened his eyes to have Kenna''s displeased stare ring at him.
Pushing back with a yell, he fell off his chair, hitting his head on the wall from the impact.
Kenna sat upright, cing her hand over her thighs.
"What the hell happened to me?! Why am I here?!" She shrieked, pulling off the coverers, and tossing them on Mich''s head.
Pulling off the cover, Mich had a pout in disappointment, having lost his opportunity to have some sort of connection with her.
"You''re wee." He deadpanned, getting to his feet and dusting his torso.
Kenna narrowed her eyes at him, pointing an using finger at him, "you did this, you brought me here to fulfill some sort of fetish!"
Mich did a double take, raising a brow at the usation, mumbling to himself. "There must have been something wrong when she copsed."
Clicking his tongue and shaking his head, he leaned on the wall and folded his arms. It was best to know to what extent she had recovered and went through what she had witnessed before her copse in her hut.
Not yet done with her usation, she scoffed as she continued, "you''ve got some nerve to attempt to take advantage of me, even when I look this way."
"There''s nothing wrong with your appearance." Mich was quick to refute her degrading herself.
"I care not about superficial appearance, because I l¨C" Mich''s lips trembled at the near slip he had almost made and bit down on his bottom lips.
"Because you what?" She pressed on.
''Stupid brain'' Mich repeatedly hit his head with his palm.
"I care about the feelings of every one of my territory." He lied, sweat dropping.
Kenna''s face fell in disappointment at his words, forcing a smile.
With a mocking tone, she copied his words and rolled her eyes.
Mich had a smile at her actions, grateful that she could still be the usual self she was after all that had happened.
"What''s so funny?!" She snapped.
"You are," he revealed, tilting his head with a smile.
"I miss this." He smiled. "Could we keep this atmosphere for at least a few minutes?!"
Kenna couldn''t differentiate if she was being fooled or mocked.
"You will get your youthful appearance, I wish to help you with this." He blurted out.
Kenna was at loss for words with her jaw wide open in shock.
"I know this troubles and hinders your usual activities, but I will find another around this." He vowed.
Tears trailed down Kenna''s eyes which she wiped quickly. With a flick of her fingers beckoning him toward her.
Unfolding his hands, Mich was quick to listen and went down on a knee. "Did I say something wrong?"
Pulling him by the neck, she kissed him on the lips.
Mich was too stunned to close his eyes, not because it looked like she had forgiven him, but the fact that she looked younger and in her youthful vigor as they did.
Her white hair had regained the vibrant ck look which flowed behind her.
Her wrinkly fingers with her right hand on his face allowed enough visuals for him to see how smooth they had be.
''What the heck is wrong with my thoughts?!'' He panicked, pulling away to confirm his visuals.
His face fell when she looked the same as she had been currently.
Sigh!
''No, that wasn''t a part of my n.''
"Did I mistake your intentions?" Kenna mumbled, fiddling with her fingers.
Pulling her in for another kiss, Mich stared in shock as hebed his hand through her ck hair.
Mesmerized by what he was witnessing, he didn''t want to stop as he pulled her even closer.
Gasp!
Pushing on his chest, Kenna broke free from his grasp, gasping for air.
"What... has... gotten... into... you?" She pointed at him, staring at her bedsheets.
Mich took several steps back until he had his back against the wall.
His eyes darted in every direction, trying to gauge his next move yet still in denial of what he had seen and felt.
"I don''t know." He muttered.
Kenna''s thought shed back to how he had held her waist, caressed her head, and all that made her blush at the thought of experiencing such even with her appearance.
"Kenna..." Mich began with trembling lips, his hands shaking from the overwhelming information.
"Do you believe you can regain your youthful appearance?"
Silence!
The awkward silencested for over two minutes as none attempted to nce at the other.
"Can you really do that for me?" Kenna looked hopefully at Mich.
''That''s my greatest wish aside from the power thates with the pearl.''
Mich let out a sigh, giving a nod with a sad smile.
"Could you please tell me what happened back in your hut?"
Whipping her head in his direction, she tilted it in confusion. "I¨CI don''t remember."
''Fucking damnit!'' Mich screamed in his thoughts but managed to force a smile on his face.
"Is there any problem I might have missed?"
Shaking his head at her words, he pushed against the wall and gave a grin. "It''s nothing. I''m just d you''re safe."
Kenna watched as Mich staggered with a glum face towards the door, pulling on the door handle and slipping out.
Click!
Sigh!
A frown made its way on her face as she stared at the door.
''I can''t allow you to be corrupted by the pearl, even if it means I stay this way.''
Pulling her legs in a tight hug, she sniffled at how frail and bony they felt¨Ca grim reminder of what she had lost.
Turning her attention to the bathtub at the far corner close to the window, she made her way to the edge of the bed.
''If this is the only way I can feel young again, then so be it.''
Stripping off her clothes, she stepped into the bathtub, easing herself in with a sigh of satisfaction.
The water glowed as her frail legs merged and in its stead was a navy blue tail and scale marks that scattered around.
Resting her arms on the side of the tub, her hair ck hair spread all around her as she submerged herself in the water.
Blob!
Blob!
She stared at the ceiling with a smile, the ripple effect caused by her submergence, closing her eyes to the one thought that caused nothing but a headache in her dealings with her people.
''The disaster can''t be prolonged anymore.''
*****
In the garden,
Sra stared at the sky, counting the stars as they twinkled.
The rustling sound in the bush was not enough to distract her from her set gaze.
Without as much as a nce at the figure that sat by her, she let out a little chuckle.
"There was a time you once tried to kill me."
Alta leaned forward with her chin on her folded fist, clicking her tongue as her yellow eyes glowed from the reflection of the luminous moonlight.
"Kill is a y on words, I wanted to rip your head off." Alta snickered, pushing back on the backrest of the wooden bench.
Sra scoffed and broke off in a little chuckle. "For a demoness, you do have a few words to tell."
Spreading out her wings so they could push away Sra, she had a wicked smirk at the sight of her right-wing held on the al.
''Just as I thought.'' Alta switched her gaze from her right wing and Sra who held onto it.
Retracting and folding her wings, Alta turned her attention solely to Sra. "You pretend to be weak, why is that?"
Getting to her feet, Sra looked over her shoulder. "It''s for the best, at least for now."
Whoosh!
Weaving and narrowly dodging a hardened feather shot at her head. Sra looked in disbelief at the smirking demoness.
"You and I both know we are one of the strongest, if not the best." Alta rted, folding her arms under the bust of her silk white night dress with a deep v that trailed to her navel.
"We don''t know that." Sra countered, wanting to leave to put a hold on any form of provocation.
"I am partly restricted by our lord due to what I had done in meretrix-01¨Ceven though those weak-willeddies deserved it!" She spat in disgust at the memory of that night.
Sra closed her eyes, trying her best to stomach the massacre she had witnessed at the time.
"But you¨Cwhat''s your excuse?" Alta challenged.

Chapter 129 The Weak Dont Deserve Mercy!
Stopping in her tracks, Sra walked back, stopping a foot away from Alta.
Holding her re, Alta blinked to ease the tension between them, shing a grin.
"Did I strike a delicate chord?" Alta urged in a whisper.
Raising a brow at her words, Sra''s eyes glowed as her hair flew in all directions.
Alta was temporarily distracted by the growing fire around her, looking around herself in confusion at the fire consuming the nearby bushes and trees.
Closing her eyes, Sra let out a sigh of disappointment and shook her head after deactivating her ability.
Alta furrowed her brows, taking two steps back to regroup her thoughts. To her shock, the garden was in its original state devoid of the fire.
''What the hell¨C''
"Don''t mess with me to witness the oue of showing my true strength." Sra hissed with a creepy smile.
Putting her hand out in a shake, she wiggled her brows.
"Come on, let''s maintain our friendship as always." Sra gave an eye-shut smile.
Alta''s sweat dropped, skeptical about banking on those words.
As the realization began to sink in, a smile made its way to her lips. "You are one crazy Avira."
"You are the first to say and live." Sra chuckled at the words and urged Alta to ept her shake.
Taking the gesture, Alta held onto Sra''s hand, not willing to let go until she was through with her questions.
Pulling on Sra''s hand so they were inching closer.
She held a confused re at Sra. "You must be confused as to how I know about you hiding your true nature."
"I couldn''t care less as much as you are powerful as a subus." Sra shrugged and withdrew her hand.
Chuckling at how bold Sra was, Alta, nodded her head in understanding.
"I made a good choice to keep that blue witch." Alta grinned proudly.
Sra gave a re but responded. "I knew you had done that to rile me up for future battles."
Raising her hands in a low surrender, Alta winked. "You two seemed close, it wouldn''t hurt to cut in and watch in the background."
"You tried to kill us, what better way than to form a bond to tackle a bigger problem?!" Sra countered with a snarl.
Alta giggled, exhrated by her mood swings. "You make it seem as though you couldn''t have done anything to stop my attack."
Shaking her head, Sra clicked her tongue and whipped her hair to shake off the thought.
"I don''t know how you''d take this, but I''d say I understand what you did back there¨Cthe weak don''t deserve mercy!"
Alta let out a gasp in surprise, jumping and tackling Sra into a hug on the side.
"Eeeeee!" She squealed in delight. "You did something wicked, didn''t you!"
Internally facepalming, Sra pinched the bridge of her nose and shook her head at how far gone Alta''s thoughts had wandered.
Her hands awkwardly raised to avoid touching Alta who still clung to her waist in a tight hug.
Feeling a squeeze, Sra pushed on Alta''s head a bit to be set free. "A subus shouldn''t be acting this way."
"Do you speak from experience? Or else how would you know?" Alta dismissed her assumptions.
"I enjoy thepany of those who share an equally evil spirit¨CI am a demoness after all." Alta rified.
Sra continued to push on Alta''s head, targeting her wings instead. "Get the hell off me. Besides, I''m not evil, unlike you."
Alta pouted and refused to give up, "that hurt my stone-cold heart."
"You have a heart?!" Sra pretended to be shocked by the news with her sarcasticment.
Not understanding the hidden meaning in the words, Alta responded, "if it''s that way, I wouldn''t derive the joy thates from letting our lord have his way between my legs."
Rolling her eyes to thement, Sra gestured to be left alone¨Cstarting with the hold to her side.
Alta pouted in protest, she needed to know what had changed her perspective. If she had the chance to exploit such a situation, there was a greater chance of Sra unleashing her true form.
"You can tell me, I have experience." Alta urged.
"Unlike you, I didn''t kill them, just a warning that has kept them in line."
p!
p!
Sra nodded her head to the words, "if you wish not to speak on it, then I''d refrain..."
Phew!
Sra''s ted mood was cut short by Alta''s words. "For now."
"Why did you follow me?"
Another theory had struck in her thoughts, knowing her walk to the garden wasn''t merely coincidental.
Alta inhaled and exhaled before speaking. "Because you were an easy target."
''Easy target.'' Those words yed on repeat for Sra as she let out a chuckle in disbelief.
"Let''s change that." She offered her hand once more to Alta.
Raising a brow at the gesture, "do you do this for every little thing?"
"Just you," Sra responded.
"What are we changing?" She continued, skeptical about the words and clenching her fists beside her.
"Let''s take it out in the forest where we had met when in search of our lord." Sra offered, smiling with a twisted grin.
Alta tilted her head in confusion, wondering how that would exin her early statement.
I would like to test your ability on a half-strength level." Sra challenged.
"You could have just said that in the beginning." Alta deadpanned.
Materializing into her bright yellow mmable Avira form, with broad wings once spread out, she dashed upwards and changed her course to the right.
A gust of wind blew back Alta''s hair as she watched with excitement at Sra''s form.
Before she could get carried away, she facepalmed as she snapped her fingers to open up a portal.
"Impatient as ever." Alta clicked her tongue, letting out a sigh.
''You could have just waited it out so we took the easier route with my portal!'' She thought as she walked into it.
*****
15 minutester,
Walking into the garden, Hisha had his hands in his pocket. Oblivious to the fact that the twodies had been present.
With a frown on his face, he took a sniff of the air. ''Who the hell tried burning my garden?''
[Nothing was burnt, host]
''But...''
[That is merely the residue signature of an Avira transformation]
''Avira? Sra?!'' Hisha''s eyes darted around him in suspicion and slight confusion.
He couldn''t ce his bet on what must have prompted her to transform as she had done and fly off and outside his citadel.
[Mark Location activated]
''A tracker!'' Hisha joked as he watched the loading ellipses.
[Name of harem you would want to locate?]
''HTC, don''t you y with me. You know who I''m trying to locate!'' Hisha rolled his eyes.
[It''s protocol, host]
As he stared at the screen, his stoic expression was slowly turning to that of worry.
[The time you are wasting staring could be used to say the name of the harem in question]
''Sra Nyx.'' He reluctantlyplied.
[Locating...]
Hisha rapidly had his leg tap the stone pavement as he awaited the results.
Ding!
[Grassy in-7 miles away]
Hisha was mind blown by the fact that HTC was acting as though it was his map with a hovering miniature diamond above a grassy in.
Pointing at the gold and ck diamond, ''do those signify Sra and Alta?''
[No, it''s just a way to beautify the grassy ins]
A cross popping veins made its way to Hisha''s forehead. ''You sneaky system, I''m your host! Goddamnit!''
[Prove it!]
HTC put up a tongue-sticking-out emoji to mock him.
Shaking off the thought of arguing with his system, he opened a portal.
''This better be worth my effort.''
*****
Grassy in,
Boom!
The ground shook from the impact of a massive fireball crashing into a mountain.
"Haha, is that all you got, Avira?"
"It''s Sra, demoness!" Sra snapped, wiping the sweat off her forehead.
Shrugging to the words, Alta blew a raspberry, barring her nails and charging once more with her Sux outlining her body.
Alta furrowed her brows when she felt a hand hold onto her wrist and that of Sra and fling them in opposite directions.
Tumbling on the floor as a cloud of dust emerged, before picking up her momentum, Alta pushed off the ground and pped her wings.
Sra had gotten to her feet, almost on the verge of raining profanities on Alta cheating with some strange intervention.
Once the dust had settled, their mouths hung open at the figure that stood in between them.

Chapter 130 His Is Big Enough
"Lord Hisha!" They chorused.
[Exp+2]
[Exp+3]
Alta squealed in delight as she rushed to cling to Hisha''s arm.
''What the fuck?! I literally threw them to break off their duel.'' He deadpanned in his thoughts, disturbed that she felt no ill will towards him.
"You have some sort of locator on us, my lord?" Sra folded her arms.
Although knowing the answer, she let out a low chuckle at having to get the information in such a way.
"What would I do if you all were in some sort of danger?" Hisha jokes, opening his arm wide to get a hug from her.
Sra sprinted and gave a body m, snuggling into his chest.
[Exp+3]
Alta snuggled in, "I want a hug too!"
''What the heck is wrong with her actions?'' Hisha''s brows twitched in confusion.
She wasn''t this sensitive or clingy and more importantly pouting and acting all cute?
"Alta, is something wrong?"
Pulling away slightly, she closed one eye to gauge his facial expressions before her grin grew. "Of course nothing is wrong, I''m just d to have you by my side, right, Sra?"
Sra cleared her throat, looking away as her heart thumped hard.
Hisha tilted his head, wondering if these two had been influencing one another in more ways than he could think.
Pulling Sra by the waist, he raised her chin slightly, nting a kiss on her sulent lips.
Moaning into his kiss, she felt longing for more once he pulled away.
"We can''t in the open field." He whispered in a tease, winking and turning to Alta.
Alta had a wicked grin, choosing to overlook what she had seen, pping her wings as she pulled away so she could hover and search their surroundings.
"That was some throw, my darling." She giggled, clicking her tongue on the level of damage they had caused.
Given the opportunity to speak on the topic, Hisha raised the issue of the meeting alone in such an open terrain.
Alta whistled and offered her hand in a shake to Sra. "Remember this?"
Sra facepalmed as she could already guess that this demoness was on the verge of pushing the me onto her.
"Typical of a demoness." Sra sighed, shaking her head.
Withdrawing her hand with a big smile, Alta shrugged and expected Sra to do the presentation on their behalf.
"You should understand, I was simply following you, dear Avira."
"Is there anyone who you would follow without being convinced?" Sra retorted.
Hisha switched gazes from both parties as they exchanged words.
Taking a few steps back, he decided to wait out their banter, materializing a chair, he took his seat, elbows on his thighs and hands supporting his chin while watching them with a curious gaze.
"That doesn''t solve anything, you brought me here." Alta scoffed and blew a raspberry.
Sra was taken aback by the childish behavior of Alta and turned to Hisha to get some form of sce.
Hisha shook his head, refusing to intervene except when they gave him the information he needed.
Sigh!
Sra pushed back stray strands off her face as she prepared to finally respond.
"I had suggested wee here..."
Alta leaned on Sra whilst interjecting, "she needed to know who was stronger and nned all this."
Sra red at Alta who returned with an equal eye-shut smile.
There was no way she would think Hisha would believe such exaggeration and fake acts of a subus.
''She isn''t usually this way, just only around you, my lord!'' Sra had wanted to blurt out but shook off the thought as if it would make no difference.
Raising his hand to stop them from getting physical, he cleared his throat.
Ahem!
"Who had the higher chance?" Hisha abruptly asked.
"Huh?" They both questioned, furrowing their brows on how that made any sense.
Pointing at the two, Hisha steepled his fingers as he spoke. "Before I had interrupted, who had the higher chance of winning!"
Thedies blinked, turned to one another then looked back at Hisha.
Throwing her hand over Sra''s neck, Alta pulled her closer.
"What the heck is wrong with you, today?!" Sra hissed from the corner of her lips.
Whispering from the corner of her lips, Alta hissed in reply. "Just y along!"
"y along to what?!" She hissed back at Alta, forcing a grin as she could tell Hisha was watching them tentatively.
"It would interest you to know that little birdie..."
Sra whipped her head to her side in disbelief at how Alta had described her in front of their lord.
Muttering incoherent profanities at Alta, she stiffened her body so she could block out the name-calling and try to see where Alta was going with this.
[They seem to be getting along]
''Looks it, but there''s something sort of off for me.''
Waiting patiently for their exnation, he needed to know to what extent each of them had grown in strength so he could effectively know what approach he could use.
"I''m waiting..." He spoke up to bring their attention back to the fact that he was still present.
Sra pulled her hands away, pushing Alta forward, and hissed, "deal with it."
"She does have potential and if she could just harness her innate form and not prove how weak she is, she might have a chance at getting the best of me." Alta rted proudly with her chin raised in self-appraisal.
''That was your n?! Weak?'' Sra clenched her fists beside her.
"Would you want another pair of balls?" Sra threatened with a disturbing grin as two balls of fire hovering above her palms circled one another.
Shaking her head, Alta''s response showed how degenerated her thoughts had gone. "Our lord''s is big enough."
Hisha slipped on the armrest, hitting his head on it and forcing himself, irrespective of the pain, to get back up before they realized his state.
Cough!
Cough!
Hitting on his chest to ease his stuffy chest while trying to gasp for air.
Alta and Sra had rushed forward to examine him but were stopped by his hand-raised halt.
There was no way he was going to allow them to get close to him, not with hisposure ruined by that statement.
"My lord..."
"Darling..."
[That was a hrious reference]
HTC put up aughing-hard emoji multiple times as it scrolled on the screen in an infinite loop.
Opening one of his eyes and raising his head, he nodded his head without saying a word.
He could only me himself for showing unprecedented interest in some of his harem members, especially those he held dear in his heart.
"Breathe, my lord." Sra inhaled and exhaled with a smile of demonstration.
''I do know that.''
"Will these do?" Alta pushed up her barely d bust, biting down hard on her bottom lips.
For a brief second, Hisha felt his heart yearn for the offer even if it wasn''t going to help with the pain.
''If it''s offered, I cannot reject it.''
Bam!
"What the hell?!" Alta hissed in pain, rubbing her shoulder to hit she had felt from Sra.
"What sort of help is that?!" Sra scoffed, rolling her eyes. "All you wanted was to get in his pants."
Hisha''s expectation is crushed but unable to call them out on ruining his thoughts on the situation.
"I give what I have, you can too." Alta harrumphed.
"I have brains, skills, and not just reliance assets." Sra countered.
Alta raised a brow, although she had taken things lightly up until now, there was no way she would be intimidated.
Getting to his feet, Hisha had enough of their bickering and needed Alta''s dangerous and calctive side back.
"It''s best if we get back." Hisha dered.
Alta and Sra gave a knowing look before nodding their heads in agreement.
Opening a portal, Hisha watched as they walked through, his eyes ncing around that grassy in with a hint of suspicion.
Closing the portal behind him, his fists clenching to the disturbing feeling he was getting.
''Is it just me or is there something lurking here?''
[Scanning the environment with a 20-meter radius]
Hisha watched as arge holographic field spread all around him to depict the radius essible to him.
Dun!
Wincing at the sound, Hisha closed his left ear as he turned in the direction of the sound.
A tree and the surrounding shrubs and a few boulders had been coated with a red holographic field.
Dun!
[Anomaly detected]
''Haha, finally some action!'' Hisha''s eyes glowed as his hair flew wildly around him.
He could finally understand why those two had chosen such a ce, a perfect lonely area to let loose if need be.
"Come on out, I won''t bite¨Cyet!" Hisha challenged.

Chapter 131 You Speak Or You Die
In the hallway,
Sra looked behind her to witness the portal closing.
Huff!
Huff!
Crouching, she held onto her chest.
Alta did the same but dropped to her knees, losing her bnce as she fell on her back.
"What''s going on?" Alta spoke in worry.
Forcing herself up, she used the walls to assist her being partly upright.
"I... I can''t use my Sux!" Sra spoke in a panic, her hands trembling in disbelief and shock.
"Our lord!" Alta brought up the thought of this affecting them.
Without the use of her portal opening, and the inability to gain her strength, she had her fists clenched in worry.
"Kritz! Yes, we need to..."
Thud!
Alta''s eyes bulged in shock at an unconscious Sra, reaching for her, she could see the corner of her eyes cken and dim on her vision.
Letting out a cry in a sonic signal, she sumbed to her weakness and copsed on the floor beside Sra.
*****
In the grass in,
''Are you sure they''d be safe and not interrupt?''
[Affirmative. Their Sux level had been drained to a drastic level and would need rest to rejuvenate]
Hisha let out a sigh, finally having that out of his way, he could concentrate on the enemy in hiding.
[Warning: blood lust]
''Yoru?'' Hisha guessed, wondering if he was right.
[Negative]
"Typical of an overlord." A familiar voice snickered behind a boulder.
''Really? Him, again?!'' Hisha facepalming, feeling his presence was starting to feel like a bad rash.
Stepping out of the shadow was Gregg, unlike thest time they had seen, he had ditched the hood and had his hair spiked and outgrown to his shoulder.
With his canine more pronounced and his red eyes glowing with a sinister glint, he snarled the moment he locked his gaze with Hisha.
"What are you doing in this field?" Hisha hissed, clenching his fists beside him, quelling his growing disdain to engage this same Vandrik again.
''You''re meant to be freaking dead! Why are you making an appearance in front of me?!''
Gregg sighed and let out a low chuckle at the words, "this is an open field, my bad for strolling by!"
''That wasn''t meant the way it was said, right?''
[I don''t know, host. Is it?]
Ignoring his system''s tactics, Hisha activated his telekic ability.
''There is no way I''m letting you attempt to seal me!'' Hisha growled at the thought of that ying on repeat, enforcing his telekic grip on Gregg.
Struggling to get free, Gregg squirmed to no avail.
Letting HTC scan his environment for any sign of the two others, the moment he heard a ding that signified theck of people within the vicinity excluding Gregg, he let out a sigh.
Thud!
He let go of Gregg, feeling he needed to vent his frustration somehow without using the easiest route.
''Why is he here alone?'' Hisha felt skeptical about the set trap if he was to engage without essing his motive.
He watched with a wary gaze as Gregg quickly got to his feet, circling him, careful of how he threaded.
[He is a walking time bomb that could ignite anytime soon. A desperate action by the Vandrik chieftess and in no way useful than a husk. It would be tricky to kill him through usual means]
''A puppeteer bes the puppet.'' Hisha chuckled.
A grin made its way to his lips at the revtion, deactivating his ability for the time being. ''This should be fun.''
Whoosh!
Gregg''s eyes widened as he felt a punch on his back that had him crashing down, dust and grass erupting from the impact.
Grabbing a hold of Gregg''s feet, Hisha pulled and threw him a great distance to collide with a mountain miles away.
''This time I''d be sure to kill you permanently!''
Whoosh!
Making a body imprint on the rock, Gregg had just pulled out his hand.
Boom!
Hisha red at how swift Gregg had been to dodge his attack and turn his head to his left.
Balling his hands in a fist, Gregg gave an uppercut which sent Hisha flying in the opposite direction.
The perfect opportunity for him to pull out his remaining body and regroup his next actions.
Tumbling a great distance, Hisha pushed back to get to his feet.
Pausing for a while, a grin made its way to his lips at how exciting the fight was for the first time in forever.
''That was oddly satisfying!'' Hisha wiped off the dirt from his face.
[You need to utilize not just brute force and speed]
HTC warned its host, skeptical about the approach he was utilizing.
"What?! Why are you going easy on me, ancient one?" Gregg mocked with a grin and blew kisses his way.
Hisha cringed at the disy.
[Be calm and deduce the weakness]
Inhaling and exhaling, Hisha smiled as he got an insight into the weakness he could exploit. ''He is too impulsive, I could use that.''
"It must have been hard to be the third choice," Hishamented, watching for a change in reaction.
Gregg gritted his teeth, his body quaking with fury.
"Now that I think about it, where''s the other hooded male? It would seem as though you are theckey." Hisha burst into a fit ofughter.
Riled up enough to be blinded by his rage, he charged without proper thought to his action.
[Approach imminent]
''I''m not blind, HTC!'' Hisha took a defensive stance, smiling to himself.
Bam!
Kicking Gregg away, he put his hand over his forehead as he watched him get thrown a great distance once more.
[Seen enough?!]
Nodding his head, he smiled in satisfaction. ''Not quite.''
Whoosh!
Grabbing him by the hair with his left hand, Hisha pulled up Gregg and ripped out some of it.
"Aaaghhh!" He let out a cry in pain, watching his hair fall in front of him.
Grabbing his neck with his right hand, Hisha held Gregg''s left hand.
R-rip!
A spray of blood sttered on his face, forcing Hisha to look to the side and spat to his heart''s content.
''Fuck! That was repulsive.''
[You should take your advice, host]
Gregg held onto Hisha''s right hand and scratched hard on his arm, creatingrge open wounds with blood dripping from it.
Hisha had a stoic expression as he watched his wounds heal up with little effort.
His hard re now on Gregg, he shook his head in disappointment.
"I had made a mistake in leaving that one dangling."
R-rip!
"Aaah!"
Tossing him aside, Hisha mmed his feet on Gregg''s chest. Leaning slightly to have a better look at his victim in anguish.
"You know, you''re the first who would hit me and get a fair good distance from it." Hisha let out a bitter chuckle, shaking his head.
He observed Gregg''s slow healing as his tendons were slowly recreating the bone and muscles around it.
Clicking his tongue, he pressed harder on the Vandrik''s chest.
"Tell me, why do you fight a battle you can never win?"
Gregg held his re but chose not to speak, shaking his head and scoffing at the words. He would merely stall out time to regeneratepletely.
Sigh!
Bam!
Bam!
Withdrawing his bloody fist, Hisha shook his head and wiped the knuckles on his brown shirt on Gregg.
"You''ve got some bad-tasting blood." He sneered.
"That''s... my... hatred... right..."
Bam!
"I never asked your opinion." Hisha hissed in disgust.
[Host, he won''t speak. Trust me]
Ignoring the words of his system, he stepped hard on the regenerative arm on the left.
Gregg winced in pain, his face contorted in pain at the feeling.
"You''re a failed cause abandoned by who you thought was on your side. You are trying to make it up to your partners who risked their lives to resurrect you from that pithole which was a better ce for you!"
Gregg''s eyes widened at how his words sounded like a personal attack. He couldn''t understand how easy it was for Hisha to guess.
"They left you because they thought I''d capture you, bypass my security and bring you back to my citadel, and only then can you deal greater damage, especially to my harem."
[Host, you''re starting to use that brain of yours!]
HTC put up numerous pping emojis with a smirk on their faces afterward.
Hisha''s brows twitched at the level of mockery he had to endure and still put up a straight face because of Gregg below him.
''You and I have some spoken battle to engage inter on!'' Hisha threatened and brought his attention back to his target.
As far as Gregg could tell, a shiver ran down his spine at how urate Hisha was in decoding the n that had been put up.
"So what is it going to be? You speak or you die?!"

Chapter 132 Not The Only Immortal
Gregg shook his head, not necessarily answering the question or giving a conclusive answer.
"Come on." Hisha clicked his tongue, making a shing strike with his hand.
The wind sliced off the healing parts of his hand which had regenerated to his elbows.
"Aghhh!!" Gregg let out a blood-curdling yell in pain.
"We could do this all day," Hisha said with a disturbing smile, winking to Gregg so he could tell how serious he was.
Sitting on him, Hisha patted Gregg''s head, ruffling his hair andmending him for his new haircut.
"I hope you don''t mind me sitting here." He pretended to seek out permission even though he was already sitting down on him.
Gregg bit down on his bottom lips to cope with the pain and his draining Sux.
Pulling him by the cor, he leaned down so their faces were a few inches apart.
"There are two things I would never condone as being interrupted while being with my harem, but do you know the second one?" He cackled in a burst of maniacalughter.
Gregg shook his head, shivering and trembling in pain as sweat dripped down his face.
"Puny mortals that waste my goddamn time!" Hisha sneered.
He still felt his pride hurt by the fact that he had sustained some form of casualty while fighting with a Vandrik.
Gregg was surely stronger than Kritz¨Cenough incentive to train his right-hand man.
"The Vandriks could indeed pack a punch, they weren''t lying." Hisha joked to himself, shaking his head at the one who had managed to catch him off guard.
Gregg coughed out, spitting blood onto Hisha''s face.
Letting go of Gregg, he wiped down his face in disgust of having some enter his eyes.
"What in the actual fuck was that?" Hisha spat but didn''t give him enough time to respond.
Bam!
"I know you weren''t going to respond favorably." He let out a sigh whilst wiping the blood off his face.
[Be rational]
''I am rational! The one that should be ready for me to lose my cool would be Gregg!''
[If you kill him you won''t be able to get the desired information]
''It doesn''t look like he is willing to say, I might as well kill him, it''s a good bonus that he''s male!''
"I see you choose to die," he raised his fist, almost about to punch him in the guts.
"I... I will..."
Cough!
Dropping his hand beside him, he cleared his throat and nodded his head in understanding, "tell me, what are Yoru''s ns?"
Gregg''s eyes widened in shock at how direct this question one, a dangerous topic he wished not to thread.
"I... I can''t." He blurted out with ttering teeth.
''Who is this fucker and what does he think he would aim with this?!'' Hisha internally facepalmed.
[He is Gregg the pain in the ass Vandrik]
HTC rified for its host, to the displeasure of Hisha.
''Where''s the fucking off switch on you?!''
[There is none, except you find a way to ''DIE''!!!]
Shaking off the telepathicmunication with his system, Hisha had his focus on Gregg once more as he sneered. "What sort of bullshit are you spilling out?"
"I can''t." Gregg cried out knowing, either way, he was going to die but he wasn''t going to risk that sort of easy route.
"You have no use to me then." Hisha hissed with a twisted smile. "I could get it one way or another."
Cough!
Cough!
"What if I''m useful?"
Those words were like a ton of work that had been lightened with just those words.
"Part of my consciousness has been gained by the new partner¨C"
Hisha was temporarily distracted by the word¨Cnew.
''Where the hell does she get more Vandrik ?!'' Hisha thought as he got off Gregg.
"I''m going to be killed, although I thought I could prove my worth onest time." Gregg let out a bitterugh.
''Realization isn''t just having its mind tricks on you?'' Hisha rolled his eyes.
"A bigger danger lurks, although I am not authorized to speak," Gregg warned with a disappointed sigh.
"Thank you for thend-shattering news." Hisha deadpanned, clicking his tongue.
He couldn''t care less for half-baked information if it he still needed to go through the stress of decoding.
Gregg coughed out with a chuckle, amused by the strange mannerism of their overlord.
"If it were up to you, you harbor no ill intention towards me. I don''t wish to continue in this." Hishamented, reading his intentions.
Given the fact that Gregg could use his legs or gather enough human or beastmen puppets from neighboring territories or Straton.
Gregg''s eyes teared up as his vision blurred from the overwhelming emotion.
His sense of allegiance to Yoru had made him blind to the cause he had taken.
She had used a forbidden technique on him, not out of duty but for selfish reasons¨CUse him as a weapon for mass destruction on a grand scale.
"Promise me you''d uphold your standards as you''ve always done."
Raising a brow at the sentimental approach Gregg had switched to, Hisha stood in a spot, ufortable by the words.
''It''s time to put him out of his misery, he''s spewing unnecessary words.''
[...]
Taking a few steps back, Hisha clenched his fists beside him.
A p of thunder could be heard as the sky darkened.
''Hmm painless is needed, but he''d explode and I need to contain that.'' Hisha made a calctive approach as he observed his surrounding.
As the cloud gathered, he opened his arms in a way to signify his sense of freedom from all anger.
In other to destroy Gregg, he needed to rid himself of every form of hatred he had towards the Vandrik.
Greggy defenseless even though he had regained both arms, and chose to ept his fate with a smile.
"Lord Hisha..." He muttered.
Temporarily distracted, Hisha stared in awe at the Vandrik which referred to him using his title, and the blissful feeling of being epted as the superior made him more ecstatic.
Turning his head to his side and at Hisha, he forced a smile. "Promise me you would stop them before they do something drastic."
Hisha''s lips drew into a thin line, a nod of his head to the strange request.
With a smile on his lips, Gregg closed his eyes.
Giving enough distance between them, he created a 10-meter barrier around Gregg.
shes of lightning travel through them as he prepared to call down lightning.
[Ready...]
Hisha raised his hand to the sky.
[Aim...]
Pointing in the direction of Gregg, he widened his stance, locking his gaze on him and nodding his head.
[Strike...]
''Strike!'' Hisha repeated in his thoughts.
Lightning coursed through his hand, channeling through his body, escaping from his two-finger gesture on his left hand.
A circle was formed in the barrier to allow the lighting to pass through.
Zzzt!!!
Boom!!!
Hisha watched in awe at the sight of fire erupting in clouds of smoke and mes.
''A real bomb like in the movies.'' Hisha gasped in awe, temporarily distracted by it.
Crrk!
Hisha''s awe was soon short-lived as he witnessed a crack forming in the barrier with the fire showing no sign of quelling anything soon.
''Oh! No, you don''t!''
[Ability: Geokic maniption]
Raising his hands, he watched as bits of the grassy terrain were pulled and made to ovep the barrier multiple times.
Ggggrrrr!
Doing several backflips, Hisha watched with the hope that it would hold in the residual mes.
Boom!
Pushed back by the impact, Hisha hit a boulder and groaned in pain.
Thud!
Cough!
Cough!
Blowing on the cloud of dust, Hisha waved his hand to disperse it so he could have a clear vision of his surrounding.
He had almost taken a step forward when he was warned by his system to stop.
His eyes bulged as he witnessed himself at the edge of the raised ground, looking down at a deeprge hole created from the explosion.
Molten magma had built up in its core and stared back at him.
Cough!
Cough!
He blew at his nose the moment he inhaled smoke.
''What the hell?!'' He eximed in shock.
If this had been done in his citadel, there was no telling what sort of casualty would have happened with little he could save even with his time maniption.
[Any step further would have led you to fall into that]
''I can''t die.'' Hisha countered, shaking his head in disbelief.
[That doesn''t mean you can''t burn and feel pain]
''Veryforting, HTC.'' Hisha deadpanned.
[Target nullified]
''If he survives this, then I guess I''m not the only immortal in this world.'' Hisha retorted.
[You aren''t the only immortal]
''What?!'' Hisha did a double take on the response, switching his gaze below and to the user interface.

Chapter 133 Youre Hesitating
[You didn''t think you were the only immortal in Kurg, did you?]
''If you put it like that, how am I meant to respond?'' Hisha deadpanned.
[There are a few individuals who had gone into hiding after being favored by the Celestials. With every selected individual bestowed, a use was added]
''Fuck! Yeah!'' Hisha whooped, walking back towards a tree.
Climbing on its branches, he sat on one of the higher branches with a smile.
cing a dried-up twig into his mouth and ying with it while rotating its movement with his tongue.
[What''s with theid-back attitude?]
cing his hand behind his head, he looked to his side, having a good view of the destroyed terrain.
''That''s a big hole." Hisha cackled, spitting out the twig and recing it with another.
[...]
Hisha rolled his eyes and sighed.
''Do I need to exin?''
[Do you want to listen to the rest of the info¨C]
''What better news is that I''m not the only immortal with restrictions.'' Hisha spat out in a bid to win the favor of his system.
[You jubted because of that?]
''I already exined. If mine is in the category of women, it might as well be something more trashy than mine.'' Hisha grinned from ear to ear.
There was nothing better than knowing there were others who he could say would have it worse than he did.
[Fair enough...]
Reaching out for a leaf, Hisha inquired about the rest of the information.
[Some had perished when they fell out of favor and went against the use ced on them. Others had gone into seclusion for fear of losing what they hold in high esteem]
Hisha made a clench his fingers over the leaf, opening his palm and watching the wind blow off the bits of the leaf.
''I would have been worried if my immortality was stripped. I guess I understand how they feel.'' Hisha stared at his hand, clenching and unclenching his fists.
[This had led to the rumor spreading to shady individuals getting the information on the only way an immortal could be killed]
Hisha''s eyes glinted at the information, what had turned out to be a pain in his side was meant to be the biggest secret he could keep.
''If anyone gets to know of my weakness, they could use that against me, forcing my immortality to be stripped off.'' Hisha raised his head to the branches above him, getting a glimpse of the sky.
With the new information, things had gotten a lot moreplex and headed first into more secrets.
Hisha furrowed his brows, wondering if this might have been the reason the original host had chosen to relinquish his position and body.
''That fucker!'' Hisha hissed at the possibility of that being true.
If it were that way, there was no way for him to experience death or witness his immortality stripped if there was an issue that forced him to spill or be caught in a situation that made him kill a female.
[Who?]
HTC put up a confused emoji, not being able to process who deserved the cuss.
''Oh, it''s just the original host. I think I finally understand why he doesn''t wish to return.'' Hisha punched a branch off the tree.
''That fucker is trying to y god, using me as a case study!'' Hisha frowned at the thought.
[This is why you need to surpass the original host''s stats, only then can you have full control of your body before achieving what he holds dear]
Hisha nodded his head to the advice, ''I just got enough motivation to achieve that.''
Calling on all of his stats, he needed to be reminded of what he wascking and needed to work on.
Ding!
__________
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1007]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 340/1000]
[Meretrix: 3]
[Points: 78000]
[Exp: 10]
[Total number of your harem: 6211]
__________
His eyes scanned the stats with a bitter smile. ''I still have a long way to go.
[Loading... 10% ...]
Waiting for the rest to pop up in front of him, he folded his hands, leaning back on the tree limb.
__________
[Lustful experience: 35/20000]
[Fetish: 4/20]
__________
''As expected, fuck it!'' Hisha closed the tab on that stats.
As much as it looked fun to do, there was no way he was going to subject himself like a breeding cattle without making the best use of his time before his enemies decided to strike.
[You had asked for this]
''I know, and I said fuck it! That''s just wrong on so many levels¨Cbnce is key.'' Hisha scoffed and requested thest and more important information he needed.
__________
[Memory recovery: 10/100%]
__________
Facepalm at how he had gotten only one-tenth of the total percentage needed to kickstart the memory of the original host.
''Couldn''t I just ask Lord Hisha politely, he should be willing to save his ass.'' Hisha stared at the translucent screen in high hopes of a favorable answer.
[Do you want to ask that of a host who chose to ditch his body?]
Hisha''s mood fell upon being reminded of that important detail.
Wiping down his face, he clicked his tongue and sighed several times.
''I''m just about fucked if word gets out about my weakness.''
[Then find a way out of it, host]
Steepling his fingers, he thought for a moment and a wicked smile arose.
''They won''t figure it out, so long as I am equally ruthless to the females and give them a near-death experience or intimidate them into cooperation.''
[What happens if you kill them while giving a ''near death experience''?!]
Hisha''s cool moment was butchered as he lost hisposure and his hand slipped and he had to grab onto a branch to stop his fall.
''Fuck you, HTC! You just had to put up with such a condition.''
[A logical reasoning at that]
HTC added a winking emoji with its tongue stuck out.
''You can be this way because you are not tangible, if it wasn''t that way, maybe you might reconsider your words.'' Hisha challenged.
[I am loved by you, host. You wouldn''t want me transforming to mess with you]
Hisha recalled when it had materialized into a simr copy of Melody.
''Melody...'' His thoughts trailed.
Before he could be mocked by his system, he heard a call from below.
ncing down, he locked eyes with Kritz. ''How did he know where I was?''
Dropping down, Hisha tilted his head, awaiting an answer. He could tell Kritz had teleported, but that could only be done if he knew where the target was or had some prior knowledge of the terrain.
Giving a slight bow, Kritz looked around him and at the catastrophic damage that could be seen a few feet away from where they stood.
Following his line of sight, Hisha bit down on his bottom lip to stifle augh.
Kritz''s shocked expression was priceless as he temporarily forgot Hisha was in front of him.
Ahem!
Whipping his head back to meet Hisha''s eyes, he went down on one knee to apologize for his action.
''That''s not why I had drawn your attention, it''s why you are here I''m after.''
"What brings you here?"
Kritz looked to his side, hissing at the thought of spilling would only alert his lord on Alta''s condition.
''It looks like he is nning on lying to shield the bitter truth.'' Hisha deduced, narrowing his eyes.
"If you lie to me, it''s as much as telling me you can betray my trust," Hisha warned, casting a dark look on Kritz.
''There''s no way I can betray my lord.'' Kritz''s eyes widened at being caught red-handed and chose toe clean.
"I received a sonic signal from Alta and it had given me your present location."
"Why would she send you a sonic signal?" Hisha hissed.
His chilly voice made Kritz back up and force his vision down, "I swear on my life, I have never made any unwarrantedmunication with your harem."
His lips trembled as his heart pounded, hoping to set that as a subtle way of exining why he had gotten it.
''What was I thinking? Kritz isn''t like that.'' Hisha''s furrowed brows eased as did his facial expression.
Wiping down his face, he nodded his head to the excuse, that part was settled, but then there was still something unclear.
"That had not exined what I had asked. Don''t make me repeat my words." Hisha warned, still skeptical about trusting him blindly.
Kritz''s eyes searched the floor, he couldn''t tell if he would flip if he knew the whole truth or if he would mask his words.
"You''re hesitating again." Hisha snapped, "look at me and tell me the truth."

Chapter 134 Watch And Learn
Kritz''s eyes widened at the domineering Sux seething off Hisha, forcing his head back down.
[10 Sux exhausted]
"I can''t, my lord. I''m not worthy." Kritz begged to be spared the wrath of refusing toply.
[Host, cool your temper. He must have an exnation]
If Hisha blindly acted, there was no telling what could result in him exhausting his Sux in such a quick motion without expending it in at least a battle.
"I found her unconscious alongside Sra..." Kritz blurted out, flinching when he witnessed Hisha''s feet approach him.
Trembling and bowing in an apology for holding back that information from him.
"Where are they?" Hisha''s chilly voice broke the silence.
Having the information he had asked for, he needed to know their current situation and why it had happened.
"They are in the healing bay, they have lost a lot of Sux for some unknown reason," Kritz added.
"As for why I had been the one that got the call is still a mystery..." Kritz mumbled to himself, slightly confused about the choice himself.
Hisha''s eyes widened in realization. His frown only increased at what that had meant.
She could only contact Kritz as he was the only one aside from himself that she had interacted amicably with.
''It''s because I had cut off allmunications.'' Hisha thought, guilt-stricken.
''You had told me they wouldn''t interfere while I dealt with the problem, but definitely not this!'' He yelled at HTC, disappointed and enraged for being a part of what they were going through.
[I apologize, host. I had thought they could withstand that drastic drop in their Sux]
''You thought?!'' Hisha''s brows twitched in unspoken fury, clenching his fists beside him.
Kritz had wanted to sneak a nce at Hisha''s expression but looked back down upon seeing how livid his lord was as he stared back down at him.
''What the hell?!'' Kritz brought back his attention to the floor, scared about his fall from the grace of his lord.
Thinking he had iting, he grimaced and waited for the verdict.
Hisha exhaled and inhaled to calm his inner turmoil, shoving his hand in his pockets.
"Thanks for responding to her call." Hishamended with a smile, offering his hand to lift Kritz from his current position.
Timidly taking it, Kritz was reminded of how caring his lord was underneath all the temperament, he was a kind and just overlord.
Clearing his throat to break the tension. He opened up a portal.
*****
Ind of Asrinth¨CMinotaur territory,
Designed on the lowest point of a deep, narrow valley with steep sides surrounded by maze channels of streams.
The home to Minotaurs led by Aster Helo.
This city wasn''t built by a canyon by ident, as it has magical properties, which are of great importance to the people of Asrinth and its sess.
The city itself looks mundane. With its ck wooden rooftops, faded granite walls, and vines overgrowing everything.
The main attraction is the windmill, which was built centuries ago and designed by goblins.
Asrinth has a healthy economy, which is mainly supported by herbalism, carpeting, and crafting. But their biggest strengths are refined carpeting, rare crop, and fish farming.
Despite its strengths, Asrinth thrived mainly from the allocated funds given by the overlord to cater to every need of the city due to theck of intercity trading caused by the numerous maxesid out for its protection.
Arge stone fort stood in the middle of the ind withrge true formed minotaur guards protecting its steel gates.
Their long ck horns were like a warning to the intruders and citizens who could have a look at them from all parts of the city.
Crrrk!
"Open the gates!" A loud cry was made by the advisors.
Stepping out of the gates, Aster made a grunt at the darkened sky.
Pointing with his spear towards the sky, "something isn''t right with the bnce."
Leaning to his side, Lancaster¨Chis brother and trusted confidant looked up at the sky in confusion.
"It''s just dark clouds, brother. How cold dark clouds signify something wrong with the bnce?" He teased, nudging the metal corset on Aster.
''Ow!'' Lancaster grimaced in slight pain, shaking his hand.
Unlike Aster who had a bulk build, Lancaster was of a slender, yet muscr build with arge w scar across his chest.
He had ck hair devoid of the mane of wild.
A blue piece of cloth from his waist to his feet, split into two sections on his sides with a silver band around his waist.
Around each ankle is a silver ring with a linked chain¨Cmuch like his brother.
Wiggling his brows, his blue eyes stared at Aster, hoping for some answers.
Shaking his head, Aster refused to answer as he walked towards a boat.
Looking behind him, "are youing along or not?"
''I don''t have a choice.'' Lancaster thought with a sigh, holding up his spear over his shoulder.
Sprinting towards the boat, he thrust his spear into the floor, propelling himself with a front flip.
Dum!
The boat rocked from the disturbance. Water sshing into it.
Aster widened his legs, using his hands as a means of bnce from being thrown off the boat. His body was wet from asional sshes.
Lancaster winced at his actions, internally regretting what he had done.
"Lancaster, do you have a death wish?" He snapped, wiping down his face.
"I got excited, why walk in, when you can jump in with style?" He shrugged,ughing in mischief.
The growl from Aster alerted him of a possible oue of his words.
Weaving to the right before Aster could make a sh at his head, he took a few steps back as a caution.
Pretending to be hurt by the action, Lancaster pressed on his bare chest, making gasping noises and overly dramatic shocked face
"You would do that to your family?" He used, unable to hide his grin for much longer.
Rolling his eyes at the disy of ruse hurt, Aster responded with what could be considered a threat.
Whoosh!
The boat leaned slightly under the bulk and speed of Aster.
With his hand on Lancaster''s chest, a wicked grin made its way to his face.
Lancaster, being too stunned to speak, stood frozen in the same spot as he felt his brother trace his scar as though recollecting a memory.
"Would you like to ask father?" Aster leaned over to whisper.
This was enough incentive to jolt Lancaster back to reality, taking a few steps back, he reconsidered his words, replying with a grin. "My mistake, dear brother."
Stretching and tossing his spear on the wooden flooring of the boat, Aster walked and channeled a bit of his Sux over the helm.
"I would like to fish, as much as a duel is tempting, it''s best you don''t push me to kill." He pointed a finger at his brother.
Laughing at the gesture, Lancaster nodded his head to the main sail. "How about coating those too?"
*****
Plop!
"Haha!" Lancaster cackled at the failed attempt of his brother to catch a fish.
Frowning at his loss of the catch, he tried his best to maintain hisposure with the mocking words of Lancaster.
"Don''t push it, Lancaster."
Handing over the spear, Aster challenged him to get the red fish which teased them with its presence as it swam in circles around the boat.
Before Lancaster could take the spear, he pulled back his hand, allowing his brother to let it go, causing it to fall.
nk!
They both watched it roll for a second and stop.
Cross-popping veins made their way to the side of his head, teeth gritting and fists clenching.
"You could have just said you didn''t want to use my spear!"
Bringing up his spear in front of him, Lancaster tilted his head and let go of the weapon.
nk!
Due to the height, it bounced a couple of times before rolling towards Aster''s spear.
"What the fuck are you doing?" He snarled, narrowing his eyes.
Protracting his yellow ws, Lancaster smirked. "Watch and learn."
Lancaster''s eyes made a rapid movement as they calcted the next possible swim movement of the fish. Locking onto its next location into the water,
Jumping in with great precision, he lurched at the fish.
A screech could be heard from the fish as its ck blood stained the water.
Climbing back into the boat, Lancaster raised the 35-inch fish, throwing it at Aster''s face.
Sliding down his stoic face, a frown was slowly brimming on his twitching brows.
"Whoops! My bad." Lancaster chuckled, wiping the water off his face,ying on his back on the deck.
Whoosh!
Gasping for air, Lancaster stared at his brother with wide eyes.

Chapter 135 They Are Back!
"That''s enough mischief, right?" Aster growled, tightening his grip on Lancaster''s neck.
Cough!
Letting go of his neck, Aster wiped off the blood on his face, spitting out profanities at the sky to vent out his frustration.
Lancaster was still stuck in a mind loop of being choked andid back with his hand on his neck.
Looking to the side, he exhaled and a growing smile continued. "I did prove you wrong though."
"Shut the hell up, little one." Aster snapped, waving his hand to dissolve the discussion.
"To hell with that title! Do I look that little?" Lancaster disputed.
"You''re just 234, yet you want topare with those who are ten times or more?" Aster deadpanned, clicking his tongue.
Pouting, Lancaster kicked the spear on the floor. "I had lived two centuries, it''s something, goddamnit!"
A small smile tugged at Aster''s lips at the immature behavior of his brother.
Secretly he was d for the personality of his brother who could make a tense situation into a field of fun and vice versa.
"Yeah, it''s something to look over and remind ourselves of how little you are." He countered.
Gasping at the reference, Lancaster searched his thoughts on how to get back at him.
With his pride hurt, Aster''s eyes searched for another fish¨Carger one that he could catch himself.
"I don''t know why you''re afraid of epting who you truly are." Lancaster pressed on with a growing smirk.
Aster grimaced at the words, understanding where he was headed with the usation. "Don''t push it, Lancaster."
"You could have caught that fish if you went primitive like how father taught us."
"Not some stupid spear like some human!" Lancaster sneered at the thought of restricting themselves instead of embracing and utilizing their abilities to their fullest potential.
Aster looked behind him, picking a spear with his foot and kicking it in Lancaster''s direction.
Whoosh!
Weaving to the right, Lancaster stared at the spear that was lodged in a wall of a distant canyon.
"Woah... you really mean busines¨C"
Pulling him by the little horns on his head, Aster searched his brother''s eyes.
"Shut the fuck up! Goddamnit!! Do not bring him into this!"
Lancaster could feel Aster''s rage skyrocket, his Sux seeping out of him as his horns grew an inch longer and his white mane covering more of his chest.
With the position he was in still being held by the horn, he could see Aster''s feet slowly merge into hooves.
Gasping and staring in awe, he was temporarily distracted and had a bright smile at the disy.
''He''s finally doing it!''
Looking down at his feet, Aster stared in horror at his unwanted change and exhaled to calm his rage.
Slowly his augmentations reverted, to which he let out a sigh of relief.
Lancaster''s mood dropped at the failed attempt, letting out a sigh in defeat.
"Don''t bank on it." Aster hissed, warning his brother to desist from riling him up.
"You had almost relied on using your full abilities!" Lancaster reminded.
"You know what would happen if I make aplete transformation!" He shouted into Lancaster''s ears.
Grimacing at his eardrums ringing, he hoped that the mini torture was over. "I have hope that you are different."
"Father couldn''t." Aster sneered, Rollin his eyes at the memory.
"He did it to save our..."
"Don''t tell me you still support him? He fucking killed half of our people and made this stupid ind isted." Aster recalled, punching on the hull.
Lancaster harrumphed, slightly disturbed that he was still held by the horns. "Are youparing yourself with fa¨Chim?"
"As much as I would want that, I need to train my body and mind to withstand it, get that!"
"How can I, if you tug at my horn?" Lancaster countered.
"Why do I feel you are more mischievous than usual?" He hissed.
Lancaster struggled to break free from his hold but was also careful not to damage his horns which still had a long way to go to reach a fraction of his elder brother''s.
"Let me go!" He nudged the stomach of Aster and instantly regretted it with the metal armor around that area.
''Why the fuck do you wear that shit?!''
"Tell me, what''s going on?" Aster bellowed.
Releasing his grip on his brother, he hoped there would be some way of getting to him from the little threat.
"You know, I thought you had brought me here tomemorate mother''s death." Lancaster looked downcast, biting on his bottom lips and fiddling with his fingers.
Aster''s eyes widened in shock at the memory that he had tried burying in his subconscious.
When they were young they were taught fishing by their mother, a fond memory before the war that had her taken and killed.
After that incident, their father had been thrown into a moment of grief and driven by his hate towards the immortals that he had forgone their safety to achieve his selfish n for the battle.
"That''s a grim reminder." He deadpanned.
Lancaster could feel the anguish in his brother''s eyes, trying his best to deny the inevitable.
In a bid to elevate the situation, he shed a grin. "I''m your only family left, be d."
"I''m the only one who can give you a less gruesome death, be d." Aster countered.
Lancaster let out augh at his words, pointing a finger at Aster''s hands. "How about trying out that small talk?"
Aster stared at his neatly trimmed nails and then at the spear.
"It wouldn''t hurt every once in a while." Lancaster edged on with wiggling brows.
"When have you ever been right?" Aster shook his head.
"I caught that fish, did I not?" He pointed at the fishying in its blood that had been coagted into a ck jelly-like substance.
"That was just luck, and I hate luck!"
Folding his arms, Lancaster tilted his head. "I''m almost certain that your ws are crooked!"
"It is not!" Aster responded, protracting his ws.
"Ha!"
Before he could register what he had done, he stared at his ws and let out a sigh. "Acting all smart, I see."
"It is fun." Lancaster shrugged with a grin.
Taking a few steps back, Lancaster raised his hands in defense, perplexed by the strange movement of his brother.
"Uhhh... is something wrong?" He tried to joke about it as he watched his brother''s eyes glow and his sudden reliance on using the w.
''Does it work like that?''
"Don''t jump off the boat!" Aster warned him when he witnessed Lancaster''s nces from him and the body of water.
''He can speak?!'' Lancaster wondered, uncertain about why it looked as though he was slowly reverting to his beast urges.
"Huh?"
Whoosh!
Lancaster let out a scream, thinking he had unintentionally triggered his brother, left with no lifelines.
Shluk!
Slowly opening his eyes, he felt his brother''s breathing ragged as was a strange thud beside him.
"Eeeee!!!" A hobgoblin''s screech could be heard as it struggled to be free of Aster''s grasp.
Having a closer look at the six and a half feet in height gray skinned hobgoblin.
Its coarse white fur, bat-like ears, and blue nose had Lancaster tilted his head in confusion.
Its yellow eyes red at Aster as its lean hands had been broken from the collision. "We are back!"
cing his feet on its chest, Aster growled as he searched their surroundings.
''How did they escape?''
He could recall the tales he had heard from their elders on the reason they had sealed the hobgoblins after they hadid siege on the goblins and destroyed a majority of their windmills, putting their advancement to a standstill at the time.
"What''s that?" Lancaster pointed at the snarling hobgoblin.
"We will get what is¨C"
sh!
Green blood oozed from the neck of the hobgoblin as it convulsed from the injuries.
sh!
sh!
Several more cuts were made to the head as an enraged Aster cackled in disbelief at their return.
Lancaster took a step back in disgust at the sight. He had never been the one who enjoyed the cruel treatment of his opponents and was visibly disturbed by his brother''s actions.
Wiping off the blood from his face, Aster shook his head. "That''s two on me, today."
Looking over at his distraught brother, he took a step closer to which Lancaster took an equal step back till he was put up against the sail.
Halting in his steps, he stared for a few seconds¨Cthe glow in his eyes gone as did his ws.
"We aren''t safe here, anymore. No one is." Aster grimly announced.

Chapter 136 You Dont See That Every Day
In the arena,
There were whispers from the tribal chiefs on the reason Hisha had chosen to host another tournament after such short notice.
"We just had a day of rest, yet another batch ofdies would lose their lives?" Vanas mocked with a sad smile.
He would have preferred if thedies were just given to his tribe to get a steady supply of blood consumption.
"Why do you care?!" Mich scoffed as he rolled his eyes.
"Shut it, fish brain!" Vanas sneered, pointing an using finger at him.
"Shut it, you two!" Draegul snapped at them, shaking his head as he took a nce at Hisha.
Unlike the usual times, he looked cold and distant, staring into nothingness.
Aster on the other hand was distracted, his thoughts wandered to the lurking danger.
Sigh!
Wae switched ces from his trembling fingers to stealing a few from Hisha.
''What''s up with everyone today?'' Draegul furrowed his brows at the rest.
Kritz stared down at thedies below, then back at his lord. From his demeanor, he could tell he was conflicted about going through with the tournament while Sra and Alta were still recovering in the healing bay.
''They just need a bit of time to rest, that''s all.'' Kritz had wanted to say in constion but looked back at the harem, ready for yet another announcement.
[Duel: 7]
[Number of possible harems participating: 49]
[Victories: 0]
[Points umted during the tournament: 0]
Hisha stared with a frown at the screen, the faster he had with the tournament, the better equipped he would be in identifying those who deserved a better chance at his side.
[For every sessful win of the subsequent rounds, an awarded point of 5000 would be added]
Rolling his eyes at the information, Hisha let out a sigh.
[Why the long face, host?]
''Don''t push your luck, HTC!'' He snapped, aware that his system understood the problem.
Looking over to his side and at Vanas, Hisha hoped for some form of entertainment from the tribal chief.
''Argue,e on! Make me feel good about myself.''
Thinking Hisha called on him, Wae was quick to reply. "I fulfilled my quota, my lord. Nothing to worry about here."
''Shut the fuck up! I never asked for your opinion.'' Hisha raged in his thoughts but instead red at the unsuspecting Wae.
Feeling a cold sweat trickle down his back, Wae bowed with an apology and looked back at thedies in the arena.
''It''s just your paranoia, there is no way he''d turn back on his words if he promised with the condition.'' Wae thought with a little nod.
"Tch¨C" Mich scoffed once more, understanding what was going on between the two.
There were gasps as the doors were opened to reveal Sra and Alta walking through.
Hisha stared at the two in disbelief, they looked fairly alright and had no sign of being weak or affected.
''What''s going on?! Why are they here?''
[Their Sux are almost fully back on, there shouldn''t be a problem, host]
Leaning back down on his chair, Hisha nodded to Kritz to carry out the task given.
Zui waved her hands at Sra, excited to witness her friend alright.
Sra held onto the hands of Zui, giving a warm smile. "Thank you for the help."
"It''s the least I could do," looking over to the subus who walked past them without a word, Zui shook her head.
"She''s like that, you have to remember that." Sra joked with a smile.
Sneering at Alta, Zui nodded her head in understanding. "I will do my best so we can be together as we used to."
"I''ll be counting on that."
"It would have been best for you two to rest up, there is no need for ''old'' winners making an appearance." Tia hissed.
Sra looked to her left and then at Alta who seemed not to care about what was said.
With a nod, she smiled at Zui before making her way toward Tia.
"Thanks for weing me to my original position." Sra thanked with an eye-shut smile.
Tia furrowed her brows in confusion.
Pointing at the space meant for her, Sra continued. "If you don''t mind wiping the other dusty area to get yourself a seat."
All attention was solely on Tia, being forced to get to her feet, she stomped her feet in the said direction.
Dusting imaginary dust off her fingers, Sra smiled with a grin as she locked gazes with Pesa.
Alta looked over her shoulder, giving a thumbs up to the method Sra had utilized.
Blowing a kiss, Hisha''s way, Alta leaned over as she sat to reveal her cleavage.
[Exp+3]
Hisha''s smile immediately surfaced, feeling his zeal for the tournament rejuvenated.
[You''re one weird host]
''I don''t know the rest like those two and time again have been of support to me.''
[Right, right]
HTC felt his words were a little cheesy to fullyply with.
Ahem!
Kritz stared at the rest to stop murmuring after the disturbance and listen to the new rules that had beenid out.
Pulling out a scroll, he read out loud:
"For this round, your pain sensitivity would be heightened, and you have only five strikes to get at your opponent," Kritz said in a loud voice, taking a nce at all present.
"There would be no team-ups, no helping hands. Anyone who dismisses this rule will have their mark stripped."
Muttering on the strict rules, some of the harems whispered to themselves, wondering how they could fend for themselves without employing the tactics of pairing up.
A hovering silver cup materialized in front of him to facilitate the picking of paper.
Reaching into it, Hisha had almost pulled out a paper but was distracted by the words of the majority.
"A total of 49 harem members would be participating?"
"49? Isn''t that a little too much for a tournament?"
"Does that mean we still need just one winner?"
"Would there be a time frame?"
Listening to all the sidements from below, Hisha got to his feet.
There was a deafening silence the moment he got to his feet.
Hisha nced around the crowd, his face livid by theirment and loss of confidence in the rules.
"Does anyone have a word to say to me?" He thundered.
Closing his eyes, Wae held onto his pants while grabbing a handful to ease his thumping heart from the jump scare.
Mich had noticed the distraught look on his friend''s face. If he would let the action get to him, it was possible to alert the others on what was going on.
''I refuse to let my weakness out in the open!'' Mich vowed, frowning at Wae.
Leaning closer to him, Mich whispered in his ear. "I don''t know what''s happening to you, but it''s best not to make it too obvious."
Wae''s eyes bulged in shock at the words, unsure if Mich had an idea of what was going on.
"I... don''t... know... what... you..."
Making a shushing gesture with his index finger, Mich shook his head. "Please keep your acts together is all I want."
Gulping and nodding his head, Wae exhaled and inhaled the advice.
Wae''s eyes flickered everywhere as his senses began to pick on something strange.
''What is that?''
He looked towards the sky, then around them in a bid to search for the strange aura he perceived.
Getting to his feet in a hurry, the rest of the tribal chiefs frowned at Wae''s steps.
"Wae? What are you doing?" Mich hissed, tugging at the hem of his coat.
"No!" Aster muttered, shaking his head. "Not now..."
His eyes glowed as he pulled out hisbrys, snorting out as he prepared to attack.
Hisha looked behind him, confused as to the disruption and the reason for his tribal chiefs being out of character at an event such as the tournament.
[Warning!!!]
''What?!''
Numerous warning signs spread across the screen in quick session.
Hisha had a sick feeling in his gut about the warning.
Kritz''s senses were also kicking in as he sniffed the air, his fangs and ws barred.
With his eyes glowing, he followed the line of sight of Wae.
A scream could be heard from the harem below.
''What the hell?'' Hisha eximed, shocked that his defenses on the citadel had been broken.
Hisha looked down, and to his horror was a group of gray-skinned hobgoblins raising their spears at some of thedies.
Reaching out to one of them, the hobgoblin screeched in pain as it disintegrated the moment his hand had gotten to an inch away from her skin.
''There''s something you don''t see every day.'' Hisha jumped down.
[Ability: Geokic maniption]
Boom!

Chapter 137 Blood And Destruction
The floor raised, targeting the locations of all hobgoblins.
Giving ample time for all harem members to flee. The doors were opened.
Swinging hisbrys, Aster shed over some of their heads, letting out a cackle in delight.
Draegul let out torrents of mes, which were deflected by Hisha.
Cowering in fear, Draegul took a step back at the re his way.
"If you kill any of my harems, consider yourself dead!"
Gulp!
Draegul nodded his head inpliance, regting his attacks as he aimed at the enemies.
Wae stood frozen, holding his ears to block off the intense noise.
"Watch out!" Mich yelled, pushing him to the floor.
Thud!
"Are you stupid?!" He hissed at Wae, punching him in the face as a wake-up call.
Snapping back to reality, Wae shook his head as he regted his hearing to drown out the noise and focus on the intruder.
Looking over to their side, they witnessed the other tribal chiefs defending the rest of the harem who chose to flee the scene.
"It wasn''t wise to target here!" Zui clicked her tongue as she created violet circles, shooting them forward.
Clearing a row of hobgoblins heading her way, she watched as they turned to ash.
"Go, Zui!!" Sra whooped.
Yagami barred her ws, running at top speed while making shing marks over the necks of her victims.
"Hahaha!!!" She let out a burst of maniacalughter at finally being let loose.
Her tail grabbed a hold of some of the creatures, its orange fur stabbing into the hobgoblin.
Throwing the corpse, she jumped on another, biting hard on the hand.
Pushing their way among the crowd of numerous harem members fleeing, Alta and Sra lurched at some of the hobgoblins.
Whoosh!
Boom!
Pesa searched for Hisha amidst the rising dust.
Cough!
Cough!
Pushing some of thedies down and kicking others in spite, "get out of my way!"
''Weak idiots!'' She hissed in her thoughts, disgusted by their willingness to flee instead of fighting like those who had won the previous rounds of duels.
"Lord Hisha!!!" She called out loud to his hearing.
Huff!
Huff!
Hisha whisked his head to lock eyes with Pesa.
Her blue eyes raged in fury at being the only one without ess to her ability.
[It would seem...]
''I know.''
Ding!
[Ability: Extraction deactivated]
Returning Pesa''s ability, her blue eyes glowed as a devious grin spread across her lips.
"Finally!" She let out a cackle, swaying her hips as she made a clenching and unclenching gesture.
''Who''s going to be my first target?'' She thought in a sing-song manner, easily weaving from any attack from the goblin.
Hisha''s eyes roved around in awe at the destruction caused by some of his harem who fought back.
''Did I forget the bunch of crazies I got here?''
[It would seem so, you have been in different duels with a total of two by your side in a limited time frame]
Deactivating his ability, he gawked, dumbfounded by their resilience and attack power.
''Were they holding back?!''
[Would you fight the same way you would with a female?]
Hisha''s mood dropped, feeling it partial to consider the female opponents as weaker or worthy of being pitied.
''If I wasn''t held back by the stupid use, I would have killed any who is a pain in the ass! Female or male.'' Hisha sneered at his perceived weakness.
[The Celestials are all knowing and that must be why they had given you this use]
"Fuck them!" He muttered out in hopes of the Celestials listening.
A sh of lightning coursed through the darkening sky.
Looking up to the sky, Hisha had a smile, feeling he was indeed being watched.
"You brought this upon me, yet you expect a smiling overlord?" Hisha muttered, shaking his head.
Kritz jumped down beside Hisha, "my lord, you see this?"
Pointing at the harem members, Hisha raised his head at thedies overpowering the horde of hobgoblins.
Hisha let out a chuckle at the words, wiping down his face.
"It would seem that at least we know who''s the strong lot in the rest cowards."
Kritz nodded his head.
"What do you want to do with the rest?"
Hisha looked to his side, a mischievous grin on his face. "They serve as a way to boost their status and a way for me to have more to explore on my tastes..."
Kritz coughed on thetter, not ready to be let in on the details.
Nodding his head in understanding, Hisha smiled and looked away to track the battle going on.
"Aaaaahhhh!" A Hobgoblin charged with his axe toward Hisha.
Kritz stepped in front of Hisha, ready to attack if it came anywhere close to his range.
Hisha scoffed at the attempt, preventing Kritz from stepping in by patting his shoulder.
Kritz looked back in worry, he needed to carry out his duty and be useful as he could to his lord.
"It''s alright, Kritz. I need just one to sound a warning to the rest."
Stepping forward, Hisha locked eyes with the creature.
''Puny fool!''
With a raise of his hand, Hisha activated his telekic grip, making a clench.
Splurt!
Green blood scattered in all directions, forcing all to pause and stare at the overlord.
''I so badly wanted him to squeeze and not explode.'' Hisha whined in his thoughts.
[Are you sure about that, host?]
Gasp!
There was a collective shocked gaze on the blood spill.
A loud cheerful cry erupted from the harem members. Their zeal to carry on was strengthened even though it looked as though they were gradually getting overpowered by the influx of the creaturesing from all sides of the harem.
"Protection the citizens and your territories!" Hisha ordered his tribal chiefs, wary of the attack being on a grander scale.
"But..."
Vanas swallowed his words the moment he felt a demeaning aura from Hisha overwhelm him.
''Is this the power of an immortal?!'' His eyes shook in horror, dropping to his knees.
[Be calm, host]
Inhaling and exhaling, Hisha released his hold on Vanas. "I am better equipped to protect my citadel!"
"Yes, my lord." They all chorused with a bow before dispersing.
''Can these creatures talk?''
[A few can, majorly those with higher rank have the ability to]
''Perfect.''
Slowly a devious grin spread out as he lifted his hand with a crooked gesture.
Kritz took a step back, wary of the rumbling that urred.
All targeted hobgoblins within a 20-meter radius were raised several feet away from the floor, hovering.
Alta burst outughing, sitting on the ground and pointing at the hovering creatures.
"Sucks to be you, you ugly creatures!" She pointed mockingly at those above her.
"Really? Ugly creatures?" Sra countered in disappointment. "That''s the best you coulde up with?"
Pouting at being pulled down, Alta narrowed her eyes.
Pesa stared at one which was in close range.
Struggling to get a hold of its neck, Hisha released his hold on it to allow Pesa to have her way with it.
"Eeeekkk!" It screeched in conflict at its body acting on its own and to themand of Pesa.
Snap!
Pesa looked down at the creature and kicked hard at it.
Hisha stared around the arena.
The field is littered with decaying remains of hobgoblins, suits, and gore.
Green, gray, and blue are the new colors of what was once a serene field, which has now be the stage of a full-blown invasion from the hobgoblins.
The air which would normally carry the sounds of chanting or murmurs from his harem is now carrying a thick, brown dust cloud and small embers.
''What a beautiful sight, isn''t it, HTC?'' Hisha spread out his arms.
[Yes, blood and destruction]
"I have one question," he looked above, pointing at a random hobgoblin.
"Which one of you can speak?"
Kritz furrowed his brows in confusion, the question sounded a little off and random for creatures that were screeching.
"I know some of you can talk, if you don''t want to end up like an exploding mass, I suggest you speak."
Silence!
Hisha''s brows twitched in frustration at their refusal toply, nos quiet and sharing knowing nces.
[It would seem they think you''re giving nothing but empty threats]
''Why does it feel like they don''t even know who or what I can do?''
[Legend has it that they were sealed by the first minotaurs. That should be a reason for the ignorance]
Creating a barrier over his harem members, he nodded his head when the transparent barrier solidified.
Zui reached out to the barrier, cing her hand gently. A ripple-like effect spread around her fingers.
''This is strong magic, as expected.'' She stared in awe.

Chapter 138 Please Let Us Go
''This just got a whole lot more interesting.''
"What''s going on?"
Bam!
"Let us fight by your side, my lord!"
Bam!
Shaking his head at the protestingdies, he needed to get the desired information.
Making a clench with a target of a quarter of the horde.
[Hobgoblin: 56]
He watched as bodies dropped onto the barrier causing them to convulse as it ovepped onto their body until there was nothing but bones left.
All thedies who had protested earlier retreated and stared in shock. The simple barrier had been a lethal weapon.
[The thoughts running in your head are twisted, host]
''What can I say? I''ve been influenced.'' Hisha let out a little chuckle in response.
With glowing ring eyes, Hisha raised his head once more as he spoke in a chilly voice. "Does anyone want another free fall?"
There was a deafening silence that had everyone staring at Hisha in shock.
Struggling, the creatures screeched once more, still unwilling to divulge their ranking leader.
Wiping down his face, Hisha let out a sigh, shaking his head at how resilient they were in keeping silent.
''This would be harder than I thought.''
[The task never pops up for something simple]
HTC deadpanned, recalling thest time its host had gotten a task given to him.
''The previous one was still a lot easier than this shit. What could go wrong while conversing with my harem in meretrix-02 at the time?''
[...]
Utilizing another effort, Hisha let down one of them.
Thud!
Whoosh!
Stepping down on its chest, Hisha looked back up. "I guess that method was too merciful for you all."
Kritz stared wide eyes at his lord, already gauging what coulde out of the act.
R-rip!
All hobgoblins stared at their kind screeching in pain, chest heaving, and eyes searching for the high-ranking hobgoblin.
Bam!
Punching a hole through the creature''s head, he pulled out his bloody hands, kicking the corpse aside.
Pulling down another, Hisha grabbed a hold of it by the neck, mming it down with its head exploding from the destructive force.
Not waiting for a response, Hisha continued with numerous methods of killing off any who weren''t quick enough to respond.
If they couldn''t save themselves by speaking, then it was pointless.
"I... can..."
Ding!
[Find the high-ranking hobgoblin is achieved]
[Reward: A ¡Á2 increase in your memory recovery]
''A leap in sess, cool.'' Hisha relished in his little victory.
He looked back down at the creature who had mumbled out a few words.
Nheless, he mmed the hobgoblin onto the floor, stepping hard on its chest.
Coughing out green blood, it felt the air inside itself knocked out.
"You could speak, yet you allowed a vast majority of your horde to die!" Hisha spat in disdain.
The Hobgoblin had its yellow eyes ring back at him.
The six-and-a-half feet, gray-skinned hobgoblin squirmed under his feet, holding onto Hisha''s leg.
''If that was sensible, I guess the rest would have had some sort of headway.''
Channeling his Sux outside his body, he was coated in its green energy.
[60 Sux exhausted]
Its coarse blue fur sizzled as it darkened in reaction,
Feeling its energy depleted, its hand fell to its side.
"Now tell me, can anyone else speak?"
Staring back at its race, it searched around for another.
Hisha looked back at the hovering horde, tracing the line of sight to another who was slightly smaller than the rest by a four feet height.
Pulling down the targeted hobgoblin, he needed to be sure it could speak before letting it leave.
"Brother... help... me..." It screeched in a high-pitched voice, reverting to her original feminine form.
''A female?!'' Hisha''s heart sank at the thought of nearly killing such a creature.
[There are other ways to go about this situation without it being suspicious, host]
Hisha''s mood lightened at the sound of the trickle of hope.
Nodding toward Kritz, he had a wicked grin as he handed over the female to him.
[That''s right, let others help in their destruction or being unaware of their gender]
''Unaware of their gender, could that mean I was unaware of some that I had killed?'' Hisha stared at the creature below him.
[That is correct. The moment you can establish the fact that they are female, the use is effective]
Inhaling and exhaling, Hisha felt his body tense at the fact that he had almost had his immortality stripped.
''Fuck the use!'' He sneered, not bothering to give any the chance to prove themselves and reveal the certain gender reveal he dreaded.
Bringing down the rest of the horde onto the barrier, there were numerous screeching sounds as they convulsed.
Raising the hobgoblin in front of him, he had a wicked grin, leaning in for a whisper. "How about we converse in a much more secluded ce?"
The hobgoblin''s eyes widened in horror, skeptical about such an arrangement.
Deactivating the barrier around the remaining harem members, he took a nce to be sure none was hurt in the scuffle.
[Ability: Extraction]
Pesa looked down in disappointment, letting out a sigh.
Hisha nodded his head in her direction, giving a warm smile to assure her of his intentions.
Until he could fully trust her, she would have to make do with having her ability only when she needed it for a duel.
Alta switched nces from Pesa and Hisha, narrowing her eyes.
Zui pulled on Sra''s hand, "we need to check on the rest of the harem members, they must be somewhere in their meretrixs I think."
Nodding her head, Sra shared a knowing look with Alta.
Opening up a portal, Alta waited for the rest to pass through.
Yawning, she watched with slight boredom at the number ofdies walking through it.
The moment she sighted Tia, a hiss to frighten her caused her tough in mischief at the shocked expression on the human.
Sra shook her head, feeling the demoness was slowly showing her true self and enjoying the troubles she was causing in the harem.
"I can summon up a portal, why do we need to follow the demoness in there?" Zui sneered, refusing to walk into it.
"That''s because I got a faster method as opposed to your chants!" Alta berated, pretending to cast some sort of spell on the floor.
"Does your puny brain process slower?" Zui countered, suppressing her anger at the mockery.
Alta''s brows twitched at the insult, ready to lurch a hardened feather at Zui in retaliation.
"You seem to forget what I can do!" She sneered at the threat.
Hisha internally facepalmed at their bickering, wondering if they would ever get along.
Stepping in between the two, Sra hissed behind her and at Zui, whispering a few words that had her reconsidering her actions.
With thest bow to Hisha, Sra pushed a reluctant Zui into the portal.
Zchwp!
"Make sure they are safe, but take that thing to the dungeon," Hisha instructed Kritz.
Kritz gave a bow before disappearing into a mist of smoke.
*****
In the dungeon,
A wide murky cave in a dire marsh marks the entrance to this dungeon.
Beyond the murky cave lies a scanty, dank room. It''s covered in rubble, dead insects, andrge bones.
The broken parts on the walls let light seep through reflecting into the eyes of the female hobgoblin.
"Let me go." She screeches, kicking at the partly broken cages reinforced with Kritz''s Sux.
Bang!
Bang!
Boom!
The buildup of the hits backfired, throwing her against the dried blood stters on the wall.
Kritz mocked with a growing smirk, "the more you do that shit, you''d eventually kill yourself before you can see your precious brother."
Pushing herself up, she red at Kritz with brooding hate.
Pretending to be disturbed, Kritz rubbed his arms as though he was shivering. "I''m so scared!"
Further ahead are two paths, its twisted trail leads past countless other pathways from a mmy area.
Kicking open the wooden door, Hisha dragged in the creature.
Kritz rushed over to open the next cage.
Throwing it in, the cage was covered in Kritz Sux.
"Brother!"
With one left eye opened, he reached out for his sister. "I''m... sorry."
Hisha let out a scoff at the disy, "you should be d that I had let you off so lightly."
"Please let us go!" The female reached forward, her amber eyes erging as tears welled up.
"What''s your name?" Hisha blurted out, his gaze on her cleavage.
The more he stared at her pleated white hair and unique eyes, the more appealing she looked to him.
It felt weird enough to refer to them by their race name or the term ''creature''.
HTC had no character status on them which was more than enough to let him know to what extent they had been sealed.
"No!"
Shaking her head to her brother''s protest, she understood there was no way they could win against him by being reluctant.
Chapter 139 Mind Manipulation °
[Slightly R-18]
*****
"Moka." She timidly replied.
"How about him?" Hisha pointed at the brother.
"Duergar." She responded.
Making a grunt, Deurgar snapped at his sister, shaking his head in disappointment.
"Can we be set free, now?" She held onto the cage.
Squatting in front of the cage, Hisha smiled. "Do you think it''s going to be that easy?"
Moka''s eyes widened in horror at his words.
Pushing himself up, Duergar snapped at his sister. "You were foolish to give out any information about us!"
Whimpering, Moka broke out in tears, wailing and kicking at the cage.
Bang!
Bang!
Kritz facepalmed at her persistence, it was only a matter of time before she would get the repercussions of her actions.
Bang!
''They just don''t learn, do they?''
Boom!
Once more, the buildup of the hits backfired as she was thrown against the wall.
Hisha hid his shock at the result of hitting the reinforced cage.
''So that''s the reason Kritz coated the cage with his Sux.'' Hisha thought with a smirk.
[It''s aplex technique known only to the Vandriks]
''Excluding me, you mean.'' Hisha corrected.
His ability could negate any preferential technique or ability akin to a race.
[Excluding you, host]
HTC corrected it with a sweat dropping emoji.
''Yeah, that''s right!''
Shaking his head, Kritz held onto the bars, staring down at her with disdain. "You''re quite stupid and weak for a high-ranking hobgoblin."
Snnf!
Moka wiped her face, her eyes glowing with rekindled rage.
Lurching at Kritz, she scratched at the air trying her best to reach out for him.
Kritz had his brows twitching in frustration, from what he could see, she had been emotional a few minutes ago, and now dangerous and ready to strike?
Slowly her skin went a darker shade of purple and spit drooled down her chin.
Hisha had also noticed this and turned to Duergar for answers.
Left with no choice, Duergar lowered his head.
"She has a split personality." He muttered.
"Eeeeee!" Moka screeched as she tried to make a sh at Kritz.
"She has both her timid and cowardly self of which she can speak, then we have... that..." He gestured to Moka, facepalming in embarrassment.
This was strange new information to Hisha as he had never heard of creatures who could have split personalities as distinct as Moka''s.
"Tell me, how did you invade my territory without my knowledge? Why did you choose to attack now?"
Duergar scoffed at the questions, a maniacalughter echoed throughout the dungeon.
Furrowing his brows, Hisha thought of the item in his inventory he had wanted to use for some time.
''HTC, I guess it''s possible to use it now. This thing isn''t my harem nor someone sharing a bond with me.''
[Affirmative]
A devious grin spread across his lips which had made Duergar reconsider his initial outburst.
''The mind maniption pill would be useful at this point.''
Beep!
[Using this pill would put your target under your control for 48 hours after initialization]
[Would you like to proceed?]
[Y/N]
''Heck, yes!''
Materializing into his clenched fingers, he got to his feet and walked over to Mako.
"W... What are you doing?!!!" Duergar yelled in protest.
There was something oddly strange about the overlord''s behavior that made him worry about his sister''s safety.
Clicking his tongue, Hisha let out a low chuckle. "I''m not going to hurt her."
''But it would be more enjoyable to use her.'' Hisha snickered in his thoughts.
Not wanting to risk killing her due to mistakes in containing his strength in the scuffle, he turned to Kritz.
"Restrain her so I can carry out a little experiment."
With a nod in reply, Kritz wrapped her with his Sux, squeezing her arms as she let out a scream in pain.
Opening the cage, Hisha stepped in.
Caressing her cheek, Hisha felt how smooth they were under her trembling body.
She shook her head, attempting to have a bite at his fingers when she had the chance.
Snap!
Snap!
"I prefer the timid version of you, it''s not only pretty but also a big turn-on." He whispered into her ear, holding her jaw in ce to prevent her movement.
Taking the pill, he forcefully opened her mouth and threw it in, closing it once more.
Moka fought to open her mouth, sensing something was wrong with what she had been fed.
Shaking his head, Hisha snickered. "Swallow, it would be better for you."
"What did you feed her?!!" Duergar yelled in rage, rushing to the side of the cage, and ring daggers at Hisha.
"Silence, vile creature!" Kritz thundered, zapping it in the throat.
Duergar gasped, trying his best to speak to no avail.
[You have a wonderful sidekick]
''Shut it! I prefer the term butler... and yes he is, he did what I would have done to silence that piece of trash.''
Duergar''s body shook with suppressed rage at what he was witnessing. ''Get your hands off my sister!!!''
Locking eyes with Duergar, Hisha made a mocking pout. "If you can''t speak, I guess I could get some answers one way or another after I''ve had some fun."
With his eyes doubling in size, Duergar shook the cage in a futile attempt at getting to the other one.
Boom!
Throwing him against the other side of the bar, he groaned in pain.
"You just don''t learn, do you?" Kritz pinched the bridge of his nose.
"You don''t decide for me." Hisha sneered.
Gulp!
Losing herposure, Moka swallowed the pill.
[Mind maniption initializing... 10%...]
Hisha watched in awe as her skin reverted to avenderplexion and an expressionless face.
''More like a doll if you ask me, HTC.''
[Would you like some life to it?]
''Obviously!''
Moka''s cheeks were flushed as she reached out to Hisha with a lustful gaze.
''How the hell did you know I had this in mind? I have not spoken yet.'' Hisha held her hands, forcing them above her head, and pushed her against the wall.
Staring at her changed behavior, he could see the burning desire in her eyes as she awaited hismand.
[What system am I again, host?]
''...''
Hisha''s deadpanned face stared at the screen.
Kritz stared in shock at the sudden change in the attitude of Moka. Clearing his throat and looking the other way.
Duergar wasn''t too pleased as he let out an inaudible scream in rage.
"Let her go." Hishamended Kritz, she needed to be free to respond to his actions as he causes a mental breakdown to Duergar.
Doing as he was told, his Sux dissipated allowing her much more freedom to move.
Upon her release, she pressed her bust onto Hisha''s chest.
''I''m liking this new behavior.''
"Excuse us, I will call on you when I need anything." He conveyed it to Kritz.
With a nod of his head, he vanished in ck mist.
Finally alone with Duergar, he had a wicked smirk as he turned to Moka, giving her a sensual and long kiss.
At the first instance, he had wanted to use the pill on Duergar, but he had realized there would be nothing to derive from getting the information on a silver tter.
''Break him and force him to spill while he''s still conscious!''
This was the mindset of Hisha as he fondled Moka''s right breast.
Breaking away from the kiss, he looked behind him and at Duergar. "When I feel you are ready to speak, only then will I release my hold on your sister."
''I am ready to speak, ask me anything!!'' He screamed in his thoughts, nodding his head in willingness.
Shaking his head to the response, Hisha tore at Moka''s purple crop top, grabbing a hold of one of her breasts.
"I can''t hear you." Hisha snickered.
"Sit." Hemanded Moka.
Thud!
She immediately did as she was told, dropping to the floor as she sat on one of her legs and the other to her side.
[Ability: Materialization]
[2 Sux is exhausted every minute]
''Sure, sure. I already know that after the first encounter with meretrix-01.''
Creating a blindfold around Duergar, he needed him to hear and not necessarily see what he was going to do.
[2 Sux exhausted]
Duergar tugged at the blindfold, scratching at his face in the process.
"It''s pointless, just listen as I have a good time with your sister." Hisha cackled.
"If you truly want to gain your speech, you would have to bow a total of 3000 times with two seconds interval. Your petition to show your willingness to talk would only be granted after youplete a little task."
''HTC, track his bows after every 20 seconds.''
[Bows: 0/3000]
Duergar got on his knees in a hurry, bowing as told.
Hisha''s gaze fell back on Moka. "Looks like you might be finally useful."

Chapter 140 Whats This Feeling? ?
[R18]
*****
Pulling her back up, he hugged her waist, pulling her closer to himself.
His erection poked at her waist.
"Enjoy this like you mean it," Hisha whispered into Moka''s ears.
She gave a soft hum at his words, swaying her hips to let Hisha feel her movements.
''That was fast.''
Letting go of her, he watched as she slid down her shorts, wiggling them off her and kicking them onto the floor.
[Bows: 10/3000]
Pulling down his pants, whilst mimicking a thrust in between her thighs, he relished in her moans in response.
[Fetish: Thighjob]
Grabbing a hold of her swaying breast, he made yet another thrusting movement.
Holding onto her waist, he pulled her back as he thrust forward.
Gasp!
~Mmmmm
The pping sound made by their skin had him pull back his head in a new kind of pleasure.
Duergar paused, mortified by the pleasure sounds he heard from his sister.
''Please, no. I willply.''
Hisha stopped momentarily, a frown evident on his brows.
"Did you just try to break the mercy I extend to you?" He snarled.
Gulp!
Duergar shook his head. With trembling hands, he was having a hard time holding back his displeasure at the probable implication of what he was hearing and the fact that he couldn''t see.
Hisha let out a groan in pleasure at the stroke Moka made on his cock as he thrust into her thighs.
"Please..." Her voice trailed over with a moan.
Her juices had begun to coat his length, making it much easier for him to slip in and out.
''Fuck! I can''t keep this up any longer!''
His eyes glued to her butthole, a new thought striking him.
[Bows: 20/3000]
''HTC, I need two items.''
[What items would you like to request for, host?]
''A condom and some lube.''
[A what?!]
HTC had a perplexed emoji mixed in with shock at its host''s choice of items.
''You heard me, don''t act all innocent.'' Hisha chastised.
With his vague knowledge only gotten from materials he had read or seen, it had been one of his fetishes to try anal sex.
Given the opportunity he had, he didn''t want to waste such a good opening to try it out, but while doing so, he wouldn''t risk the infections that might have lurked in over a century-old hobgoblin.
[Cost of purchase of a condom: 1000 points]
[Usage limit: Once]
Hisha rolled his eyes at the limit given to him, ''As if I''d use that shit twice.''
[Cost of purchase of a little tube of lube: 5000 points]
[Usage limit: 7 days before it expires]
Closing his eyes momentarily to the feeling of Moka''s hand stroking him faster, he felt his load on the verge of spilling.
Halting in his movements, he opened his eyes to watch her press back into him, trying her best to maintain the pace at which Hisha had been.
[Bows: 30/3000]
With onest buck of her hips, Hisha subconsciously thrust a few times before his body stiffened as he shot his load onto the floor.
Huff!
Huff!
[Bows: 40/3000]
Staring at the screen, Hisha furrowed his brows at the speed at which Duergar was headed inpleting the task.
"Don''t think I don''t know what you are doing, Duergar," Hisha warned.
He watched the anguish in the hobgoblin''s face at his words. It was evident that a bit of it was due to the sounds he could hear from Moka and the heart-wrenching act that was performed on her.
"She''s enjoying it, aren''t you, Moka?" Hisha held onto her hair, giving yet another thrust into her thighs.
"Y... y... yes!!!" She purred in ecstasy.
Materializing a 9-inch high mattress onto the floor, he sighed with relief at getting some sort offort once heys down.
[2 Sux exhausted]
Punching onto the floor, Duergar had no choice but to continue with his bows.
''I would like to purchase them, goddamnit!''
Ding!
[Condom purchased]
[umted points: 78000]
Ding!
[Little tube of lube purchased]
[umted points: 76000]
Dropping to his side where the two items were.
Laying on the bed, Hisha had his hands under his head.
"Since you like that so much, how about you ride me?"
Moka nodded to hismand, climbing onto his waist. Squeezing her thighs together around his cock, she bucked her hips.
Squelch!
Squelch!
Hisha let out a jagged, irregr breathing to her bouncing movements.
[Bows: 40/3000]
''H... T... C... make... that... sixty... seconds...''
[Understood, don''t ruin the flow of the moment, host]
~In me, I want it in me!
Duergar''s heart sank at the words, with no way of countering, he pretended to be deaf to the sounds.
''I will get you back somehow!'' he vowed as he continued nheless.
Squelch!
Squelch!
With her juices coating his cock, it was made into a sticky situation between their genitals.
Watching as she had her eyes roll back from ecstasy and was on the verge of climaxing.
Hisha had a wicked grin as he ordered her to regain her original memories.
With one final bounce, Moka ced her hands on his chest to support herself.
Blinking and in confusion, she stared at a grinning Hisha.
''What is he doing so up close?'' She wondered, tilting her head at him.
Feeling something hung up in her belly, she squirmed and moved a bit, involuntarily letting out a moan.
It was at that moment it had dawned on her that she had strapped onto this immortal''s waist.
Her eyes bulged at her naked body, trying her best to cover up her breasts but to no avail.
Pushing off her hands, Hisha had intentionally glued his eyes to her breasts, "there''s no reason to hide them, not after you rode me in such a manner."
''Her memories are back?!'' Duergar thought with hope, ted by the revtion.
Moka shook her head in disbelief at the grinning overlord. Although she tried her best not to believe it, it was getting a lot harder the more she stared at his cock squished between her thighs.
As she tried to get off, Hisha held her back down with his strong hands, shaking his head.
"You can''t leave me hanging in such a manner." Hisha teased, pulling her in for a brief kiss.
Struggling to get free, she pulled away from the kiss, a look of shock spread across her face.
"I was a bit forward, my mistake." Hisha chuckled.
"Let go of me!" Moka hissed through gritted teeth.
Her words only seemed to rile him up for more as he shook his head. "I frankly love this side of you."
Making a thrust upwards to remind her of her budding climax, he watched for her reaction.
"What do you feel?" He inquired, never for once breaking eye contact with her.
Squelch!
~Mmmm
She leaned over and ced the side of her head on his chest, moaning from the rhythmic thrusts through her thighs.
''Yes, that''s it!'' Hisha thought with a smile.
''Moka don''t listen to him!'' Duergar yelled in his thoughts, distraught by the fact he couldn''t still speak.
"What''s this feeling?" She mumbled to his hearing, slowly rocking her hips in sync.
Grabbing a hold of her butt cheeks, he thrust once more, stroking at her clitoris with a more continuous thrust to allow her to get used to the feeling as she had done while being under his control.
~Ahhhh... mmmm...
Letting go of her butt cheeks, he watched as she willingly massaged his cock with her thighs.
"If I enjoy this as much as you do, I will spare your brother." Hisha proposed in a whisper.
With rekindled hope, Moka bobbed her head as she instinctively stroked his cock at a quick pace.
"Why didn''t you tell me your sister is a natural at this?" Hisha mocked with a little chuckle.
Duergar let out yet another inaudible yell in anguish at hearing Moka willingly participate in the twisted lustful act of the overlord.
"What''s going on with my body? I feel... feel..."
She had bucked her hips one more time before she climaxed and copsed onto his chest.
Huff!
Huff!
[Bows: 70/3000]
Hisha smiled at what he could ascribe as her first orgasm.
He was slightly proud of his decision on returning her memories to her, this way he could watch her true reaction to his advances.
Getting a feel of another apart from his harem and in turn, getting the information he needed was by far a good catch for him.
"Do you want to experience the pinnacle of pleasure, much greater than this?" He whispered into her ears.
"Mhmmm¡" she nodded her head.
''Excellent.'' Hisha thought with a smirk.
Adjusting her position, he made her move a bit from his cock.
Reaching out for the condom, he tore at the silver wrapper and slipped it on.
Moka stared at the strange transparent contraption on his cock, "what''s that?"
Her Innocent eyes stared in curiosity at the condom.
"This is something that would aid in a clean drill." Hisha cryptically responded with a devious grin.
[Fetish: Anal sex]
Chapter 141 Based On Her Orders
[Bows: 2970/3000]
Rhythmic breathing echoed throughout the dungeon with the back-and-forth movement of Hisha thrusting into Moka''s anus.
Duergar breathing was ragged as he strived to achieve the bows quickly.
Feeling dizzy and almost out of breath, he internally made a count of the remaining numbers of bows left.
If he could distract himself from the sounds that drowned his thinking, he would dly oblige.
[Fetish: Exhibitionist]
Pulling out, Hisha held onto Moka''s waist, preventing her from falling face-first from exhaustion.
[Bows: 3000/3000]
Ding!
The sound rang out, rming Deurgar on the possible removal of the blockage.
"My lord!" He called out in a loud voice, crawling towards the side of the cage, holding onto it.
Still unable to see, Duergar begged for the blindfold to be removed.
Ignoring the hobgoblin for a time, he stared at the dark ceiling of the area with a sheepish smile.
The feeling of going through with one of his original fetishes was more than he could ask for.
Looking to his side and at an unconscious Moka, he wondered how Alta would have fared in her stead.
[Was it worth it?]
''It was, nheless I could get part of the information out of her if I wanted.'' Hisha replied with a proud smirk.
Slipping on his shorts, he adjusted Moka to sleep on her side.
Caressing her hair, he realized how mistaken he was about their race and needed just one thing¨Cthe reason for their attack.
"Your words would determine how serious I consider you to be," Hisha warned, not ready to revoke the blindfold on him.
Bopping his head in agreement, Deurgar was ready to go to any length to see and reunite with his sister.
"I will respond ordingly."
"Tell me, are you the leader of your race?"
Hisha couldn''t picture Deurgar as the true leader of the hobgoblins.
"No, I am nothing more than a general in my warlord''s army."
Nodding his head at the info, Hisha smiled at urately guessing that, but there was something that was still unsettling to him.
Hisha let out a sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose at the thought of what the answer to his next question could be.
"Who freed you all from your sealed prison?"
"I don''t know her by name but¨C"
Hisha''s body stiffened at the word ''her''.
"A Vandrik?!" He interjected.
Deactivating the blindfold, he red at the hobgoblin. "How did she get to know your location?!"
Pushing back in fear, Duergar covered his head, expecting an outburst.
"I don''t know!" He repeated continuously, trembling at the aura he had felt.
Hisha tugged at his hair in frustration, not only was she trying to turn his harem and people around against him, she had almost managed to free a century-old devastating force to wreak havoc.
''HTC, there has to be a way to take down that temptress!''
[You capture and restrain her. Have your harem train to be stronger for a final duel against her]
''Wow! Why didn''t I think of that?'' Hisha deadpanned.
Stepping out of the cage, Hisha snapped his finger to have a cloth cover Moka.
She groaned in her sleep as she turned her back to him, tugging at the cover.
Deurgar crawled to the side of the cage once more, "Moka, your brother is here."
"I didn''t say you could move over," Hisha warned with a glow in his eyes.
Knowing the rtionship between the hobgoblins and Yoru onlyplicates things further.
"Kritz." He called out in a whisper.
Zzzwp!
Materializing in front of Hisha, Kritz had his head bowed and a ck mist dissipating in all directions.
"What is the status of the rest of the tribal chiefs?"
Raising his head, he looked over to Deurgar, skeptical about letting out the information to a dangerous creature.
"Don''t pay attention to him," Hisha assured, ready to listen to the report.
"There have been a few casualties majorly from the city of Straton..." Kritz paused, thinking over the numerous corpses he had witnessed.
"The beast territories had sustained just a little damage but were able to fend off the intruders with their collective efforts and that of their tribal heads." He concluded.
Hisha closed his eyes, ready to ask the difficult question.
"How many had died? A rough estimate would do."
"One million, six hundred and one. With seventy percent of the casualties from Straton alone." Kritz responded with a sigh.
"What about the horde?
"I see." Hisha''s chilly voice and re had Duergar push back against the cage.
If there was ever an option to choose between the ground swallowing him whole and facing the wrath of the immortal, he would have dly gone with the first.
"I swear, we were merely working based on the orders!" Deurgar blurted out.
Walking over to the cage, Hisha stared down at the hobgoblin, the mere sight of it leaving a bad aftertaste in his mouth.
"How could an army asrge as yours be threatened by a Vandrik?"
Kritz tilted his head in curiosity at the mentioned word, feeling as though there was something he was missing.
Deurgar looked over to Kritz with an ominous look that spooked the Vandrik.
"What was that?" Kritz questioned, holding onto his head and groaning in pain.
"My little Vandrik, I finally found you." He responded with a nk face.
Zap!
Shooting electricity from his fingers, it struck Deurgar in the forehead.
Thud!
Kritz gasped in shock at what had just happened in a span of a few seconds.
Hisha had his face contoured in disgust at Yoru''s words transmitted through Deurgar.
''That bitch just gets to devise more ways to make her death enjoyable.''
[Isn''t she a temptress anymore, host?]
HTC teased with wiggling brows emoji.
"Tch¨C"
"Are you alright?" Hisha inquired.
Nodding his head, Kritz took a nce at unconscious Duergar. "What was that about?"
Hisha observed Kritz for a while, pondering over what had happened over the few months since his arrival.
First, Yoru had attempted to have Kritz under her control.
Second, the group had tried to seal him, but to what benefit? Because of Kritz?
Thest and final uncertain piece, how the hell did Yoru always manage to be a step ahead when nning shady things?
Opening a portal, Hisha nodded to signal Kritz to follow him.
*****
Deep in the forest,
Kritz looked around him, the thick bush had grown more than thest time they had been there.
Unsure of Hisha''s ns, he stood still as he watched Hisha pace for a while.
''It all started in this goddamn ce.'' Hisha thought, rubbing his chin.
Stopping in his tracks, he took a nce at Kritz, pointing at him. "It has always been a mystery to you about your race, hasn''t it?"
Kritz nodded his head, recalling his young days of wandering the streets of Straton, being ostracized and nearly killed.
"So has your memory been vague." Hisha continued, snapping his fingers, feeling as though he was getting somewhere with his findings.
Kritz nodded his head, clenching his hand to suppress the anger that had suddenly begun to build up at the thought of what he had endured.
Catching a glimpse of Kritz''s red glow in his eyes, Hisha walked up to him.
cing a hand on his shoulder, he searched Kritz''s eyes.
It was slowly bing evident that there was more to Kritz losing his memory. A part of him deduced that Kritz''s memories were forcefully suppressed until he was of age to be a puppet of a grand n.
"Remember I had pulled you out of the trenches, you are a part of my family," Hisha assured him, giving a squeeze on his arm.
Exhaling, Kritz controlled his thoughts and gave a nod.
If he could get Kritz to control his rage, he would be one step at cutting off the hold that could be ced on him under Yoru''s hold.
Smiling at the progress made, Hisha walked back, clenching his fists and ready to attack.
Beckoning him toe at him, Hisha exined. "I need you not to hold back, show me what you got."
Kritz raised a brow, uncertain about the duel. He could already tell the victor and who would get the ass whooped.
"My lord, I don''t think it would be a good idea for me to have a face-off with you." Kritz took a step back, shaking his head in protest.
[Looks like someone''s scared!]
HTC mocked in a high-pitched monotonous voice and several hardughter emoji scrolled across Hisha''s screen.
''Don''t be petty! I need to study something.'' Hisha closed the user interface, locking his gaze on Kritz.
"I don''t take no for an answer." Hisha asserted. "If you manage tond a hit, I''d be open to answering one of your questions."

Chapter 142 Are You On My Side?
Clenching his fists, Kritz widened his legs, mimicking a squat.
Whoosh!
''He vanished?'' Hisha thought, closing his eyes so he could rely more on his hearing.
Materializing behind him, Kritz made a kick at Hisha''s head.
Ducking at just the nick of time, Hisha did quick sessive front flips.
''Seems he really was holding back.'' Hisha chuckled in his thoughts.
Kritz stood at a spot as his Sux zed around him, his ws barred and his fangs growing.
Crrrk!
Boom!
A boulder behind broke upon thebustible contact of Kritz''s Sux seething out of him.
''Why do I feel only he can do this shit?'' Hisha jokes, hoping for some words from HTC.
[Now you see it, now you can do it, host]
''And risk my Sux depletion? Nah.'' Hisha countered, shaking his head.
sh!
Hisha red to his side, narrowly dodging yet another attack from Kritz''s sporadic attacks.
To Hisha it looked like the more feral approach he took, the more unpredictable he became.
Speaking with HTC was a mistake he didn''t want tomit to as he had nearly gotten hit in the process.
''Time to switch it up a notch.'' Hisha thought with a cackle.
Materializing a hobgoblin, he held it by its neck.
[8 Sux exhausted]
Scoffing at the Sux he had lost in less than two minutes, he narrowed his eyes at the notification.
''Are you trying to rip me off or something?''
[Therger the mass, therger the Sux exhausted]
Shaking his head, Hisha brought his attention to the creature in his grasp.
Knowing there would be a struggle just by holding its neck, he wasn''t going to take any chance and sustain any scratches
Tearing off its arms, Hisha watched with gleeful eyes the pain that spread out on its face.
"Schhhhheeeee!" It screeched in pain, green blood gushing from its open wounds.
''You''re no use here, go give Kritz a hug.''
Throwing it at Kritz, it was no surprise that he watched it get ripped before its full approach to him.
Kritz stared at the lifeless body. With his chest heaving slightly, he red at Hisha.
[Warning: blood lust]
''Bingo!'' Hisha lips broke into a devious smirk.
He needed to be certain of one thing, and that was Kritz''s self-control.
After the first instant in the woods had made him realize how prone to blood lust Kritz was to anything he had killed while drawing enough blood.
The same exnation given by his guards that had apanied him was just about enough reason to specte.
Whoosh!
Lurching at Hisha, he switched his movement at thest minute, trying out thest trick as the first attack.
''Again? Really?''
Making a round kick at Kritz''s stomach at just the right moment, the air in his lungs was temporarily knocked out.
"Ughhh!"
Colliding into some trees as he was sent flying backward.
Hisha wasted no time in allowing him to recover from the hit, hitting away the flying debris.
Grabbing a hold of Kritz''s leg, he flung him upwards.
Teleporting and making his way above, he gave a kick which sent Kritz crashing onto the floor.
Boom!
Blowing on the cloud of dust, Hisha shook his head, watching Kritz try his best to get up from the rubble.
''He''s severely weakened.''
[He had exhausted half of his Sux and might lose more if he wants to keep this up]
With the glow in his eyes fluctuating, Kritz held onto his head in pain.
His injuries slowly healed, and he got to his feet, searching his surroundings for Hisha.
"Come on, what are those eyes for?" Hisha''s voice echoed around the area.
His cackles followed right after.
Bam!
Kritz''s face was forced to the side by a punch.
Recovering instantly, he searched for the possible location of Hisha.
"Don''t make me reconsider going easy on you, again."
Watching from the shadows and up in a tree, Hisha jumped down.
Kritz stared at the spread-out cracks on the floor, finallying to terms with what he had endured over a short span of hits.
[He''s studying you, host]
HTC put up a narrowing eyes emoji, having a red arrow pointing ahead on the screen.
From Hisha''s perspective, he could see through the transparent interface, witnessing the arrow pointing directly at Kritz''s eyes.
"You can''t quit now, I need to know your limit." He exined, pointing at Kritz.
[Bloodlust subsiding]
Sigh!
He turned his back, walking away in hopes of encountering a wild animal.
''Why haven''t I seen any wild animals in these forests?''
[They don''t live in the wild as opposed to your world but are fed or cared for in the respective beast''s territory]
Bang!
Bang!
Striking his fists on some tree barks, he watched as they dropped to the ground inrge crashes.
Trying a sneak attack, Kritz threw two daggers that he had hidden in his boots.
Swissh!
Swissh!
Weaving to the right and then to the left, Hisha looked back at Kritz.
Using his telekic ability, he pulled Kritz into his grasp.
Grabbing him by the neck, he forced his will on Kritz''s hand, restraining him from moving.
mming him into the floor, Hisha tilted his head as he spoke. "Tell me... to what extent does the behavioral changest?"
Kritz''s eyes glowed, revealing he was still fighting under the influence of his unpredictable ambition.
''Who made you this way?'' Hisha wondered, worried for his friend.
Struggling to set himself free, Kritz let out a yell in pain when he felt his bones get crushed from the tightening grip of the telekic hold of Hisha.
"Try to control it!" Hisha yelled at Kritz.
Although he knew there was still no way of making Kritz remember all he had done, he was determined to have Kritz tame the urge.
Snarling at Hisha, he tried to break free from the hold but to no avail.
Leaning on one of the trees, Hisha waited till Kritz exhausted the majority of his Sux.
Feeling lightheaded, Kritz''s breathing was ragged as his body reverted to its original state.
Huff!
Huff!
"Finally!" Hisha eximed, pushing off the tree.
"What... What did I do?" Kritz stared at the floor, curious about why he was restrained.
''He''s really asking such a question at a time like this?''
[Would yours have been any different?]
HTC countered.
''Are you even on my side?''
[I have no choice]
HTC deadpanned with an emotionless emoji.
With those words, Hisha could tell that HTC was merely trying its best to live with his imperfections.
''The feeling is mutual, though.''
Letting go of a confused Kritz, he waited for him to collect his thoughts before asking what he had wished to understand.
"To what extent do you remember?"
Raising his head to reply, Kritz coughed, begging his lord to approach him and assist him.
Shaking his head and folding his arms, Hisha belittled in a tease, "your tricks won''t work for me, that''ll just be cheating, little Kritz."
Sigh!
Kritz pushed back his hair, letting out a mischievousugh. "So that means I lost the opportunity to ask that question."
Getting to his feet, he staggered a little, losing his footing and slipping on a tree branch.
Breaking his fall, Hisha raised a brow at the unconscious Kritz.
Facepalming at how easy it was to subdue Kritz, he wondered to what extent could be considered safe in going all out.
''While healing, it''s best you rest up instead of getting into action.'' He spoke with a hint of warning, looking down at Kritz.
As far as HTC had told him, Vandriks had a useful, yet annoying ability to store up information while being unconscious which would be reyed in their thoughtster on.
Opening up a portal leading to a hallway, Hisha had Kritz held by the cor.
Sigh!
''I still have much to learn in this weird world.''
[...]
Giving a slight nod, he stepped into it.
*****
In the dungeon,
nk!
nk!
Hisha''s fingers struck the bars of the cage.
His grin had Duergar push back, skeptical about what had brought Hisha back.
"So you know, I haven''t forgotten my main goal."
"Your right hand, Vandrik?" Duergar questioned.
Tilting his head at the question, Hisha frowned at the implied meaning. "Do remember I can still have control over your sister if I wanted to?"
Moka''s eyes fluttered open as she got to a sitting position and stretched.
The nket had been pulled over her naked body.
Duergar gasped in shock, shielding his eyes from Moka.
"Lord Hisha?" Moka muttered whilst her cheeks flushed from the thought of what had transpired between them.
Pulling on the nket to cover her bare skin, she felt something strange in her bubbling.
"Lord Hisha, I don''t th¨C" She called out to Hisha.
Although he had used the mind maniption pill for sexual gratification initially, he had chosen to change his thoughts on what he could achieve from gaining information from Moka.
With a devious grin, he locked his gaze with Moka, "don''t think too much of it, I''m here to help."
Chapter 143 Where Is She?
"You have what I want."
Moka''s body stiffened as she got to her feet while under his control once more.
"Tell me, who imprisoned you?"
Deurgar whisked his head toward Moka, using his hand to obscure her genitals.
"Moka, look at me, that isn''t necessary!" He barked in protest.
Moka spoke up, "the first elders of Asrinth..."
Gasp!
Cough!
Moka coughed out blood, crouching in pain.
Not phased by what was going on with her, Hisha stared down at her.
HTC had informed him of the side effects of forcefully getting information from a target while under his control.
''Coughing out blood and severe pain almost like the blood contract.'' Hisha asserted,ing to terms with what he was witnessing.
[It goes on and intensifies as per the severity of the question but it most certainly won''t kill the target]
''Of course.'' Hisha snickered in his thoughts, a smile tugging at his lips watching Deurgar''s anguish getting to its boiling point.
"Moka!!!" Deurgar yelled in worry.
Sneering and not pleased with the constant repetition of his actions, "would you stop with the yelling, you piece of shit?!"
His target wasn''t necessarily Moka but Duergar, knowing there was a limit to her knowledge and the cunning behavior of hobgoblins.
If he needed the true information that Duergar was keeping from him, he needed to break him and leave nothing to bank on.
''Asrinth... where have I heard that?'' Hisha rubbed his chin at the mention of the familiar word.
[Ind of Asrinth¨CMinotaur territory]
''Aster''s tribe!'' Hisha furrowed his brows, holding onto the cage.
[The hobgoblins hadid a siege on the goblins, the very creatures who had built all of Asrinth''s windmills.
With it being the source of a reservoir for excess Sux production, it had distributed the energy required for the minotaurs while they carried out their work...]
Unable to stop his sister from divulging, Deurgar sighed, shaking his head in disappointment.
''Just because of that, they had sealed these creatures? I should have done the same for the tribal heads.''
[...]
HTC couldn''t tell if its host was being sarcastic or serious.
Proceeding toplete its background check on the history of the feud between the beastmen of Asrinth and the hobgoblins.
[... It could be transferred to those who visited the ind, but in the end, they had destroyed, and killed a majority of windmills and goblins. slowing down the advancement of Asrinth as they tried to regain control of their territory]
Hisha nodded his head to the information he was hearing and disying in front of the screen.
"My lord, I had thought you''d spare us after I had given you what you wanted." Deurgar cut in on Hisha''s thoughts, looking up to him with hope.
ring at the hobgoblin, Hisha hissed. "You really think that''s what I want?"
''It''s not? How do I get out of here?''
His eyes searched around the cage in hopes of finding a breach.
"Don''t bother, you either leave here by my permission or your corpse does."
[Smooth, host. Intimidate the creature!]
''HTC?''
[Yes, host?]
''Could you please not randomly do that?'' Hisha suggested, internally facepalming.
[But...]
"Would you like me to continue?" He suggested with a wicked grin.
Moka had her head raised, wiping at her lips as she stared at nothing in particr.
Getting no response from Deurgar, he shrugged and turned his focus on Moka once more.
"What''s the estimated number of your race''s horde?"
"My lord, please, she knows very little, spare her, take me instead," Deurgar yelled out.
Hisha raised his hand to stop Moka from responding while he acted out his frustration on Duergar.
With a clench of his hand, Deurgar gasped for air, feeling a squeeze on his neck.
Bang!
He had his back crash onto the wall, then pulled to the ceiling.
Boom!
Not satisfied, he had Duergar collide with the cage repeatedly until Kritz Sux propelled him toward the wall once more.
"Ugh!"
Duergar''s body quaked from the pain that coursed through him. Due to this, getting to his feet was nearly impossible.
"Just a few bones broken, that should put a cork on your noise!" Hisha exined.
Reaching out to his sister, his eyes brimmed with tears. "M-o-k-a."
Moka''s attention was drawn to her name, her apathetic eyes stared at her brother as some stranger.
"You aren''t ready to disclose, I see no use in getting anything from you... except..."
A spark of hope shed across duergar''s eyes at the opportunity to prove himself.
"I... I..."
Ignoring his attempt at speaking, Hisha ordered Moka to reply to hisst question.
"Over a million hobgoblins have been released so far with the rest of my kind about to be set free by the Vandrik once weplete our task."
''Task?! What fucking task?!'' Hisha almost felt himself going mad from the report.
Not only was the horde of hobgoblins present in Kurg a staggering number in their millions, but there were more?!
A task had also been given, ''typical of her.''
Cough!
Cough!
Moka coughed out blood, hyperventting with tears involuntarily trailing down her cheeks.
Gasp!
Gasp!
Hisha raised a brow at her struggling figure to maintain herposure.
''Hmmm... must have been some secret question.''
[Most definitely, host]
Clicking his tongue, Hisha turned toward Deurgar.
"If you would like to continue from where your sister stopped, nod if yes."
With a nod, Deurgar hoped he would get another chance to prove himself.
[Ability: Heal]
Green Sux engulfed Duergar''s body, making him scream in pain before he felt a calming sensation engulf him.
[156 Sux exhausted]
Frowning at his Sux depletion, he red at Duergar who had managed to get to his feet.
"Kneel!" He was quick tomand, feeling his heart tug at the seeming waste.
Dropping to his knees, Duergar lowered his head in submission.
"Wasting my Sux on you better be worth it, any less from what I need, you''re dead!" Hisha punched on the bars, feeling a build-up on it.
Retracting his fist, he stood his ground as a force tried to propel him meters away from the cage as it had done the hobgoblins.
Boom!
Hisha scoffed at the little sting he felt from the impact. "You two are weak."
If he could barely feel the impact, he realized how wrong he was in overestimating the siblings.
"Now tell me, what task did your sister mention?"
Grimacing and understanding that the question was imminent, he looked to his side and back at anywhere but Hisha''s face.
Pointing at Deurgar, he said with a threat, "don''t you waste my precious time, you would hate it if I dare repeat my words."
Nodding his head in understanding, he took a nce at his sister before drawing his conclusion.
Exhaling and inhaling, he forced a smile. "We were ordered to abduct ny men and nine of your harem members alongside nine other beautifuldies across the Kurg."
''HTC, any idea on what Yoru might be nning?''
Beep!
[Negatory]
''Shit!'' Hisha hissed at the inability of his system toe up with a clue.
"What is the significance of those numbers?" He questions.
If he could get some corrtion between them, he could only hope it would lead him to bigger clues that aid his knowledge.
"I don''t know much of its detail, only my Warlord knows of it."
"Liar!" Hisha snarled, ready to toy with Deurgar once more.
"I swear my lord, I know nothing of such, but I did get a few pointers."
Easing his thoughts to amodate, Hisha nodded his head, ready to listen to the sort of excuse he would likely give.
"I had snuck up on the Vandrik and my Warlord, thedy had spoken on something called a grand ritual."
"Grand ritual..." Hisha repeated, intrigued by the ominous title.
Bopping his head to the repeated words, Duergar crawled towards the bars of the cage. "I have said all that I know."
"No, you haven''t." He countered immediately.
"My lord?" Deurgar stared at him, puzzled by his words, but also impatient about what they meant.
"What is her location?" Hisha questioned. "If you can tell me this, I assure you your release."
Deurgar''s face lit up at the offer, readily avable to concede to the offer.
"She''s in the¨C"
Hisha frowned at the pause, his eyes doubled as he watched Duergar''s head gradually increase in size.
In a state of panic, he looked over to Moka who had the same reaction but unlike Deurgar who had a look of pain due to his control over his mental state, she stayed calm and silent.
Deurgar rolled on the ground, tugging at his hair with scratch marks over his face, "noo! Please stop it! I don''t want to die!!!"
Chapter 144 Messing With Utuk!
Boom!
Splurt!
Their heads blew up with the blood sttering all over the cage, walls, and Hisha.
Kritz''s Sux that had kept his prisoners hostage dissipated upon their deaths.
[Targets dead]
Wiping down his face, Hisha stared a the headless corpse, punching the bars in rage.
For a fact, he could tell this was Yoru''s doing and was a failsafe in case any would try to betray her.
[Mind maniption terminated]
[Reason: Failure to put the target under your control for 48 hours after initialization]
''I don''t care about that, my leads just got killed!'' Hisha barked in his thoughts, livid with unbridled rage.
"Aghhhhhh!" He let out a yell in frustration.
*****
In a secret settlement,
Having her hands clenched, Yoru stared at it with a smirk.
She had her Sux outlining her body as did her partners who had sat in a circle made of ashes.
The ominous humming sound from the two had Utuk¨Cthe Warlord of the hobgoblins narrowed his eyes at the trio.
They had been in the same position for a few minutes and it didn''t seem to him like it made any sense.
The twisted smirk on Yoru''s lips had him wondering what had happened.
With his curiosity unsatisfied, he questions as he points at her, "what is the update on my people?"
Raising her head with a devious smirk, Yoru got up from her lotus position.
Disappearing in a st mist of smoke, her cackles could be heard around Utuk.
"Show yourself! You vile Vandrik!" He barked, tightening his grip on his legendary grade-melting great axe.
Its unique make had a yellow jewel glowing, seething with pure yellow energy outlining its de.
His eyes widened in shock as he witnessed embers hover around him.
''No!''
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
....
Boom!
He didn''t have enough time to respond to her sneak attack as they all exploded in unison.
Thrown onto the wall, his huge build of 234cm had made an imprint that restricted his movement, giving enough time for Yoru to materialize and reappear.
Grabbing a hold of his neck, Yoru''s red eyes glowed as her hair flew all around her.
"What did you call me and my partners?!" She hissed in rage, her fist raised and brought in front of his face.
Trembling, Utuk shook his head, hoping he could bail his way out of his mistake.
"I was foolish, please forgive me." He begs.
Yoru watched him for a while, her zeal to kill him diminishing the more she realized his pitiful state.
Leaning forward to whisper into his ear, she conveys a threat. "Don''t be fooled by your height, bulk build, and strength, I hate being oppressed!"
Pulling away so that she could see the fear in his eyes, Yoru continued. "I brought you out of your prison, and I can put you back if you pull off this stunt again!"
Nodding his head to the warning, he forced a smile in eptance.
Letting go of his neck, Yoru pulled him out of the wall. "If you wish to forgo your precious wife''s escape from the seal and you might have gathered enough energy to challenge me, only then can you be free as an ugly creature."
Utuk''s eyes bulged, threatened by her words. He needed to be more careful than he had been and could only follow her orders if he needed his wife brought out along with the next batch of hordes to be freed in three days.
The moment he was out, she let go of his hand and cackled watching him drop six feet off the ground.
The quake caused by Utuk''s impact with the floor didn''t faze the partners who still maintained their lotus position, humming a strange rhythm.
Barely getting to his feet, Utuk looked to his side at the hand that had tapped on his shoulder.
"Hahaha!" Yoru let out a giggle, resting against Utuk''s back.
There was one thing that she had found interesting to pass the time¨Cmessing with Utuk.
Although he was the Warlord and arguably the smartest of his race, he was also slightly stupid in her book.
Using her evasive skills, she had made it a habit to confuse him and have him try to catch her red-handed as she messed with him by strategically tapping him at a carefully timed moment.
Coming up from behind Utuk, Yoruughed at his confused expression.
Her mood darkened as she stared into his yellow eyes, "are you sure that you want to know the update on your people?"
With a nod of his head, he awaited her response.
"They are weak! I feel cheated and betrayed." She sneered, snapping at him.
Utuk shook his head, defending his people.
"A majority of your horde scattered around Kurg had been killed, captured, or retreated. I won''t be surprised if I would see some of them run in¨C"
Huff!
Huff!
Seven hobgoblins rushed in, going on their knees with their heads down in reverence to their Warlord and Yoru.
Casting a demeaning look at the seven, she looked beside her and at Utuk. "Pathetic!"
Walking away to meet her partners, she sat back down inside the circle. "If there is any positive news, do let me know about it."
Before she closed her eyes, she pointed in their direction. "Remember, if you do try to lie to me or exceed the limit of letting out secret Intel..."
Although she didn''t finish her statement, showing a cutthroat gesture summarized her message.
Gulp!
Unconsciously, Utuk and the rest nodded their head to her words.
Meditating alongside the two, her body was outlined once more with Sux.
Utuk res at the seven, trying his best to mellow his yell at them.
Trembling in fear, they took a nce at the trio who were sitting and back at Utuk.
Nodding in the direction of a passageway, he led them to his chambers.
Establishing mental contact with them, Utuk nodded as they continued.
''It was reported that the horde which attacked the citadel were all killed and two of our high-ranking hobgoblins were captured.''
To anyone who could be listening, it would be nothing more than grunts and screeches.
This had been the reason for the indifferent attitude of Yoru to what they had to say.
"What are their names?" Utuk questions, fearful of the result.
''Deurgar and Moka.'' Another replies, nodding his head as the others also verify.
Utuk took a step back, distraught by the revtion.
"Is Deurgar still alive?" He whispers.
They all shared a knowing look, disturbed about the detail of what had been conveyed to them.
"He''s gone, isn''t he?" Utuk looked down, his teeth biting on his bottom lip.
Deurgar had been more than just his general, treating him as a close friend¨Calmost like a brother.
''One of those who had survived just for a while before being burned like the rest of the hobgoblins witnessed the siblings being dragged and thrown in a nearby heap.''
"That means they were both killed afterward."
Nodding their head, they all deduced they might have been taken for questioning before they had been killed.
''There was something strange from what had been transmitted by the hobgoblin.''
Raising a brow at the new information, Utuk inquired what it meant.
Not being able to exin in detail, he chose to share the information using the very visual scenery that had been transmitted to him.
Utuk had his hand over his eyes as a rush of overwhelming information shed by until it got to the moment the corpses were dragged out.
He gritted his teeth, witnessing through the hobgoblin''s eyes as the guards threw a headless Deurgar and Mako onto the heap.
He tried to recall what he had seen, putting that scene on hold to study the jagged edge of the neck.
From the looks of it, their death had been just a few minutes and looked more like it had exploded from a strange impact.
Recovering from the memory, Utuk had cold sweat trickle down the side of his face.
''There has been only one which had caused such head damage.''
Rubbing his chin, Utuk shook his head at the singr idea of the possibility that it is Yoru.
In disbelief, Utuk mutters to himself, "No... She wouldn''t."
The room was suddenly silent and reced with an awkward cricket sound in the background.
Recalling what he had witnessed just a few minutes ago, he choked on his saliva as the confusion he had experienced initially while watching the trio.
''She killed them off without my knowledge!'' He growled in, mming his fist on the wall.
Storming off immediately to confront Yoru.

Chapter 145 I Am Willing To Be Your Slave °
[Slightly R-18]
*****
Exhaling and taking a peek, Yoru smiles as she notices an approaching Utuk.
"Do you have interstitial news?"
Utuk stood in silence, antipathy seething off him while staring down at her.
Getting to her feet, she dusted her buttocks. "I''m guessing the ryed information was much cruder than expected."
Deliberating on his intentions of attacking, Utuk also knew of the high risks that came with it if he engaged.
Walking behind him with a seductive swing of her hips, she pressed her bust on his back.
"So strong!" She moans at his hearing.
Gritting his teeth to see his resolve weakening, he pulled away and turned to lock eyes with her.
His fist clenched around the axe, "You had killed some of my people¨Calongside two of my high-ranking hobgoblins."
"Some have to go, you should know that." She responds with a little chuckle.
"They were still alive and could have escaped, why did you blow up their heads?"
Her body trembled at the words, anger rising exponentially.
Shaking her head, she pulled away and cackled. Subconsciously trying to mellow down her anger.
"They are traitors, I had gotten the feeling that they had exceeded the limit of secret Intel, it''s only natural I..."
She made a clench of her fingers and opened them with gleeful spirit.
"... Blow them up!!!" She squealed in delight, hopping andughing.
''She''s gone mad!'' Utuk stood frozen as he watched with horror the beautifuldy in front of him.
It had hurt his pride that he couldn''t retaliate physically, but there can be other ways he could vent out his anger.
Going down on one knee, bowing his head. "Mydyship."
Raising a brow at his sudden change of attitude, she narrowed her eyes, still skeptical about what he wanted.
"I am willing to be your ve in bed." He deres, hiding a smirk of mischief.
''I''m sorry, Deetesh. I will find a way for you to be free with this vile Vandrik''s help.''
Gasp!
Yoru stared wide-eyed at him, finally epting her offer. "Repeat that."
"I am willing to be your ve in b¨C"
Utuk felt a tug at his chest, cing his hand and pulling on the cape strapped and knotted on his neck.
''What the hell is going on?!''
Crouching and groaning in pain, he punched the floor repeatedly. Unable to raise his head and see the look in her eyes.
Instead, he stretches his hand to ask for help.
Watching with eager eyes, her clenched fists edging the transformation to continue.
She looked over her shoulder and at her partners who were still in the same position since the start of the day. ''I will get enough Sux to rejuvenate all of us!''
Looking back at Utuk, she had a smile as his red skin and bulk build were slowlypressing and evolving to a much more eptable skin and appearance.
His screams in pain as the transformation felt like him being torn from the inside¨Cout, had him trembling and unable to move any of his limbs.
Laying with his back on the floor, his arms outstretched to his sides, his heaving chest signified he was still very much alive.
In ce of his red skin, he had a tanned skin that much of most creatures in appearance and a new height of 180cm.
Laying naked and covered in green slime, he screamed at the thin film of slime over his face which made it difficult to breathe.
''I''m going to die?! I said I chose to be her ve in b¨C''
His thoughts were stopped when he saw something unusual.
''An erection? My erection?'' He stared in horror, notpletely at the erection, but at the change in skin tone.
Yoru giggled, walking over to his lying figure. "Yes, that lovely sheath over there is yours. I am picky about what goes in me and I wouldn''t want what has been locked up for such a long while."
Standing over him, Utuk could see her bare wet cunt underneath her skimpy dress.
Drip!
He blinked in shock at what he felt.
Yoru looked down on him with a lust-filled gaze. Her right hand was over half of her face and the other on her covered breast, giving him a show by squeezing it a little.
"Don''t you want this?"
Her voice is sultry with little moans and pants as she gauged his reaction and that of the throbbing veins on his cock.
A devious grin grew on her face as she positioned herself in a squat, looking down at the six-inch that had separated their genitals.
Bringing back her attention to him, she winked at him, "this would be fun."
"Why can''t I move?!" Utuk snarls, frowning as this counters all that he had wished to do to have her screaming in pain.
She had not only changed his skin tone and bulk size but had also reduced the width of his sheath.
"I take control of anyone except my partners." She replied.
Utuk had a smirk make its way to his lips as a n sparked up in his thoughts.
"I think you''re scared of being dominated by other males, especially ones with my sheath width."
Yoru stopped her descent and red at his smirking face, mming his head down.
''What in the Kur¨C''
Utuk was taken aback by her reaction, he expects her to retaliate and release her hold on him, allowing him movement.
Impaling herself on his sheath, she let out a low moan as she felt her cunt get filled and expand as she reversed his size to its original width.
~Mmmmm!
She let out a gasp as she raised slightly and mmed back down.
Utuk momentarily forgot about the pain and had his head pushed back in pleasure.
Leaning forward till she had her exposed breasts pressed on his chest. She pushed forward a bit so she could whisper in his ear.
Utuk groaned in pleasure and pain, feeling his cock being forcefully pushed upwards towards his stomach as she had her insides firmly grab onto his cock as she moved till she reached below his ear.
"epting to have sex with me was a mistake, you silly creature. Your Sux and mind are mine."
Utuk''s eyes widened in shock at the trap he had fallen in, immediately regretted what he had done to himself.
"You would forget all that was discussed afterward. After every session with me and possibly others I put you up with, you''d be your usual self, although stronger, you will be my puppet for my pleasure." She continued as she bucked her hips to keep up the rhythm they had started with.
Utuk gasps, impatient and distracted by the pleasure to pay heed to what she whispers.
Pp!
"Uuuughhhhmmm!!" He let out groans and moans to her riding his sheath.
Releasing her hold on him, she was curious about how well he could satisfy her. "Come on, show me what you''ve got."
Like a restrained hungry lion let loose at the sight of prey, Utuk lurched at the offer, switching their positions.
Thrust!
Yoru let out a squeal in delight, wrapping her legs around his waist.
"Uhhh!" A voice muttered.
Utuk looked over his shoulder at the sight of ten more hobgoblins led by another high-ranking one.
He was the one who had muttered the word but was frozen to the spot at the sight of Yoru and a strange individual having sex out in the open.
He is six feet in height, a green-skinned hobgoblin.
A coarse brown fur, bat-like ears, and dark green nose and canine protruded down his chin.
He had his head lowered and the rest kneeling with their heads also lowered in respect of their new superior.
''Gully? Why did he have to interrupt now?''

I sorta feel I''m just writing to myself and all I majorly get are hate or displeasurements or review from new readers which would majorly discourage others from reading further since those are thements that are prevalent(It is slightly discouraging (was thinking of dropping or slowing my updates on this after my mass release [by the 25th of this month] by mid January or February, if this continues). ?????
So if you wish for daily updates, kindly put up a +1 and try to fulfill at least thementing your thoughts on at least one or two chapters(even a thanks for the chapter goes a long way ???????) or gifting within the week.

Chapter 146 Countdown To Immortality °
[Slightly R-18]
*****
Yoru tilted her head, holding Utuk in ce, preventing him from pulling out.
She could tell he felt slightly awkward to be caught in such a position.
Pulling his head down so she could whisper into his ear. "Remember, my partners are right behind me even if they are still meditating, you chose this upon yourself. What''s there to be embarrassed about?"
Utuk was stunned by her reasoning but also realized that they couldn''t tell he was the one who was caught in the act since his body modification.
''That''s sick!'' He thought with disdain, but couldn''t speak out his thoughts.
"I love being watched, it''s a big turn-on, don''t you think?"
Forcing a smile and remaining silent as Yoru adjusts and pushes down to have more of his sheath in her.
''Fuck!'' He hissed at his inability to continue except his self-respect had withered more than it already was.
Gully nods his head at the call of Yoru.
"How many of the captives have you been able to get?"
Looking over his shoulder and at the rest, Gully gave a nod of approval for the rest to make way and present the captives.
Sensing the awkward tension in the air, Yoru had the captives have blindfolds over their eyes.
She looks at Utuk, "how''s that?"
Utuk nods his head, not bothering to take a look at those behind him. He was slowly losing his resolve to stay still.
Pulling back, he thrust balls deep and let out a moan at the feeling.
Yoru''s grin increased the more he moved out of his own ord.
Her growing smirk didn''t go unnoticed by Utuk who brought her attention to it. "What''s going on in your mind?"
"You''re deep inside me and it feels... Uhhhhh!" She let out a low moan, arching her back as he involuntarily thrust at her words.
Pp!
Phalp!
~Ahhhh mmmm!
Gully bit down on his blue lips, unsure if he could speak with his superior thoroughly engaged in a heated session.
The squelching sounds and balls pping against Yoru had him wish he could shut out the sound that was gradually inducing blue balls from the rest.
"Give... us... a... moment." Shemanded in between pants.
Gully went on his knees, awaiting the time she would give him the signal to continue.
*****
Pulling out, Utuk fell to the floor wasted mentally, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Gully gritted his teeth, wondering how long had passed after hearing the male''s exasperated sigh of satisfaction over fifteen times.
Blue balls had him groaning in pain, making a mental note to relieve himself with one of the female hobgoblinster on.
Looking to his side at one of the female hobgoblins, he bit down on his bottom lip, hoping that the current one would be thest as they had to stay in their position or risk the consequences.
''I won''t be able to take this anymore!'' He yells in frustration, clutching onto his crotch and giving a light stroke.
Thinking with regret, Gully pulls his hand and clenches his fist on his thigh. ''I would have used this time to satisfy myself.''
Yoru shook her head, slightly disappointed by his performance. ''That''s the best from a Warlord?''
Chanting alongside her partners whose eyes glowed, the semen that had been spilled also glowed converging into a hovering pink circr pill.
''S??!'' Shemanded, her eyes fixated on the pill.
The pill shook vigorously to a blur before it split into two distinctive variants.
On the left was a red pill and on the right was a white one.
Picking the red pill, she swallowed it.
Crouching for a second, her body and that of her partners were outlined in red Sux before being assimted into their bodies.
The white pill cracked open revealing all the dirt and impurities that had gathered from the floor and the unnecessary cells that would have gotten her pregnant.
With one final clench, the pill was crushed, dropping to the floor.
Clenching and unclenching her hands, she stared at it in pride at her initial sess.
''One down, ny-nine to go till immortality!'' She noted, a wide grin breaking out.
With uninterested eyes, she watches Utuk''s body convulse from the aftermath of the initial stage of the grand ritual.
She rolled her eyes at the effects it had on him, adjusting her dress as she waited for the convulsion to end.
Reverting to his usual skin tone and height. Utuk got to his feet abruptly and fully clothed.
Unlike the usual times, he was eerily quiet with a stoic expression stered on his face.
The shadow that had been cast on the hobgoblins when Utuk got to his feet had one of them raise its head.
Its eyes bulged at the sight of its Warlord, it had almost let out a screech to alert the others of the strange phenomenon but felt something hot stir up in its stomach.
Boom!
Exploding into smithereens, the remains scattered around, raining on all within its range.
There was a scream from the captives who had felt some strange thing drop on her head which was followed by the liquid.
Gully''s eyes bulged as he and the other hobgoblins maintained their heads down.
Walking over to Utuk, she holds onto his arm and pats his back.
''You''re much better when you are docile.'' She thought with a grin.
Bringing her attention back on Gully, she tilted her head as shemanded. "You may continue."
Bopping his head in understanding, he got to his feet, calling on the others to prepare themselves to bring out the captives who had been induced to temporary sleep.
"We have been able to capture twenty-one men..."
Shoving and kicking the men, the hobgoblins pushed the blindfolded men.
They were bound in chains coated in Sux that sealed any of the abilities of those who possessed it.
There was an uproar of pleading and begging for their lives, scared as to the reason they had been abducted.
Bam!
Gully was swift to strike one on the head in rage at the uproar that sprung up because of him.
"The others had been silent until you spoke, shithead!" He sneered.
He stood frozen in disbelief at the fallen male who bled from his head to death.
"That''s twenty now." Yoru sneered in bitter rage at the dwindled number of males just a few minutes after they had woken up.
Gasp!
Gully held onto his neck, scratching at the me-like hand projection burning his throat as he was being raised above the floor.
Hovering, he could tell this was the ability of their Vandrik superior.
Letting go of him, she let out a sigh. "It''s best you don''t kill those who I need."
Cough!
Gasp!
Cough!
Gasp!
Gully''s body trembled in reaction to the pain that he felt, uncertain why he didn''t bleed.
"All of that was just in your head. You could ask the others for their thoughts on it." She shrugs at his confused expression.
Looking behind him, he made a telepathicmunication with the first who had his attention on them.
Yoru felt bored waiting it out for the others to confirm her im.
Stiffly turning around to Yoru, he exhaled at the thought of what she had said was true.
''It was all in my head?''
"The next one won''t be so pleasant." She threatens with a momentary glow in her eyes.
Gulp!
Yoru took a nce at the men, licking her lips at the thought of their usefulness.
Maintaining a positive view on the process, she could tell as much fun she might have with all of them, there was a use to ita€¡°one she would have to work around it.
The participant needs to be willing to be her or her partners'' ve in bed, and be of a certain grade in ability or tribe.
But the one which might be slightly difficult would be the rule of increasing the number of rounds by a multiple of three to gather enough semen to purify.
This would also include her partners who would have to copte with the females and in turn where she could milk them for the semen mixed alongside the females'' juices.
The more she thought down that line, she grimaced at the work that needed to be put in to summon the Celestials to grant her a wish of immortality.
''We can do this.'' She encouraged herself in her thoughts with a nod.
Gully had hoped to be alerted when he could continue.
Having the blindfolds drop from the males face, she waved her hand at them with a sweet smile.
They all stared at the beautiful temptress wide eyes in awe.

Chapter 147 They Are Defiled!
Her eyes caught on a male who had his erection pointing at her the moment he locked eyes with her.
His gaze trails to her revealing dress which left nothing to the imagination.
''Perfect!'' She thought with a smirk.
Stretching out her hand to him.
Pushing himself to get to his feet, he reached out only to be stopped by the words of another male in the group.
"Don''t you have an ounce of sense, mate?" He snapped.
Yoru''s curiosity suddenly peaked at the words from this outspoken male who she could tell to be a merman.
Brown, long hair awkwardly hangs over a round, time-worn face. Hollow violet eyes set gracefully within their sockets, stare back at Yoru with burning disdain.
His soft skin charminglypliments his scrunched-up nose.
Ignoring the other male, she walked over to the merman with a goal in mind¨Cgetting his identity and winning him over.
Holding onto his chin, she smiles and whispers the words. "What is your name?"
Shaking off her hand on his chin, he looked to his side and refused to speak.
He had himself to me for being captured and couldn''t picture being alive in a few hours, days, or weeks.
"His name is Ni!" The first male answers in his stead.
He had a wide grin of satisfaction as he nodded his head to his words.
Ni red at the male, wishing to be uncuffed so he could have a one-on-one fight with the male for betraying him without a blink.
"I had tried to save you, now I fucking regret it, Leone!" Ni barks at the other with equal displeasure.
Yoru watches the two bicker and throws curses at one another.
"Ahahaha!" She let out augh at the entertainment, which had been sessful in getting their attention.
"Ni, Leone," her mood darkens as she pauses to collect her thoughts. "Those are some entertaining banter, I would have released you both..."
Ni''s interest was suddenly sparked by herst sentence.
"...but I thought against it." She tly responds, casting a re at Leone.
His mood deted at her words, crushed by his hopes for a simple life gone.
Lowering his head in despair, he let out a sigh, ''I''m sorry I couldn''t fend for myself again, Thel.''
He could remember how he had gone about his usual day in his tavern, with his sses cleaned, bottles ced on the shelf, and furniture arranged.
He had locked the tavern till it was open to epting visitors, pulled on a chair at the far end, and chose to take a nap.
Unaware of the hobgoblins that lurked in the shadows, watching him.
''The nap that had made me open for a sneak attack.'' He thought with regret, staring at the rocky floor.
He closed his eyes at the memory of his tavern trashed and in ruins during the struggle he had put up while trying to escape.
When he thought he had finally made it out, he was met with a horde of these creatures waiting for him.
"All you need to do is prove yourself worthy of being alive." Yoru stretches her hand out to Leone.
Ni scoffed at Leone, easily fooled by the beauty of the mastermind behind their abduction.
Pushing the others who tried to take Yoru''s hand, Leone pushed forward, the linking chains attached to a metal cuff tug at his wrists.
Realizing he was ufortable and restricted, Yoru let go of his restraints
nk!
nk!
The metal cuffs dropped to the floor with a ringing sound.
Taking her hand, Leone smiles in deep gratification while pulling on her waist.
Yoru masks her surprise at the bold behavior with a smile, leaning forward so she has her bust pushed against his chest.
Feeling his body shudder from the sensation it gave him, a wry smile spread across her lips as she firmly grips his hand before whispering in his ear.
"If I wanted answers about everyone here, I know how to get them. Speaking without being told?"
Yoru clicked her tongue to his hearing. Out of all the things she had grown a disdain for, it would have to be a betrayal.
If Leone could spill out a piece of information without being authorized to answer, no torture but a method of being swayed by her.
''I have no assurance that he wouldn''t repeat this. Too dangerous!'' she condemns before pulling away so she could look into those pitiful eyes which had suddenly turned into one of fear.
To a certain extent, she could already tell he had an idea of what she had nned.
"Burn!" Shemanded.
Leone screamed in pain as his hands were set aze, eating their way to his whole body.
Ni and the other males gawked at Leone crouching and screaming in pain.
Yoru scoffed at the scene, "anyone who shows I see fit as a potential threat to me and my goals will not be spared!"
Ni''s heart sank at her words, looking to his side at the rest of the trembling males.
The moment she takes a nce their way, the majority flinch and push back.
"Respect your superior!" Gully snaps, ring at all who tried to run behind him and the rest of the hobgoblins.
"I won''t hurt you, as long as you do what I say," Yoru affirms with a grin.
Nodding in acknowledgment of the males, she gestured to Gully to continue with his report.
"We were also able to capture threedies from Straton, Winst, and Asrinth."
With a snap of his fingers, thedies were awakened from their sleep.
Still blindfolded, they whimpered, trembling from the cold on their naked bodies.
Scratch marks were all over their bodies which didn''t escape the close inspection of Yoru.
"They are defiled!" She yells in rage.
Gully and the other goblins pushed back.
The rest of the hobgoblins behind him began to murmur in grunts and screeches, with somemunicating their fear of being found out.
Gully''s eyes bulged at the information, disturbed at what this would mean for the culprits.
"I had specifically spoken about needing virgin females!!!" She screamed, her eyes glowing with burning rage.
Gully fell face down, "I apologize, I had no idea that we had chosen wrong."
Using the new ability gained from swallowing the red pill, she had red Sux outline the threedies'' bodies.
They let out screams in moans and pain as the Sux made its way into any hole it could find.
Deactivating it, Yoru let out a burst of maniacalughter. "They had been defiled after they were captured."
''Fucking idiots!'' Gully hissed and punched at the floor, knowing it wouldn''t take long before some of the hobgoblins involved were caught.
Pointing at a gray hobgoblin to the far left, a blue behind Gully, and a green hobgoblin behind the blue one.
They all pointed at themselves, unwilling to admit their actions.
"Come forward." She beckoned with a flick of her fingers.
Gully closed his eyes, unable to watch as hisrades stepped out into the open and in front of him.
Inhaling and exhaling, Yoru forced a smile whilst pointing at thedies as she spoke through gritted teeth. "Did you defile thesedies?"
The three shared knowing looks but were silent. Cold fear spirals through their thoughts.
"Nod or shake your head to signify, it''s not so hard." She pried further with a forced smile.
When the gray-skinned hobgoblin shook his head in denial, it didn''t take so long for his body to be set aze in the blink of an eye.
Thud!
Yoru cast a re at the remaining two, "remember your body reacts to the lie or truth you gesture."
Gully gritted his teeth, his hands clenched in a fist to witness the death of one of them.
Little murmurs erupted from the rest, with Gully yelling to keep them silent or risk another killing spree.
It was no secret that their lives meant nothing if they weren''t useful to the Vandriks.
Taking control of the situation, an order was restored as all were forced to silence, none being able to speak even if they wanted to.
Yoru nodded her head to Gully, pping her hands as a bright smile shed across her face.
The other two hobgoblins went on their knees, nodding their heads to confess to their deeds.
Letting out a peal of derangedughter, Yoru switched gazes between the two.
"There is only one way of redeeming yourself, would you like to know what it is?"

Chapter 148 You Can Do Better °
[Slightly R-18]
*****
The hobgoblins looked to their Warlord for help, kneeling before him.
Gully narrowed his eyes at the silent Warlord, suspecting something had gone wrong with their leader while they were away.
With their leader lost to the control of Yoru, there was no telling what sort of issue could arise if any went against her.
Patting Utuk, Yoru touched her cheeks, pressing onto him to signal what she wanted.
Leaning down, Utuk gave a peck on her cheeks and turned his attention toward the hobgoblins and captives.
There was a collective gasp from the rest as they stared in disbelief at what Utuk had done.
Yoru had her lips twisted in that wry smile again as she nced at the shocked expression on all except Gully who chose to have his head lowered before she could lock gazes on him.
Proudly dering to all, "I hope you all know who is truly in charge of both my people and you vile creatures."
Left with no choice, the hobgoblins nodded their heads to the offer originally given to them, hoping to find this as a way of redemption¨Canything that could keep them from dying like the rest.
pping her hands in delight, Yoru walks over to them, cing her hand on their shoulders.
Her cheeks squished when she pulled them close to her face, "I''m sure you''d like this very much."
Gully held his breath, skeptical about the condition that was to beid out for the two.
''This isn''t going to be good.''
Pointing at thedies, she had a sardonic smile, yet with eyes holding a glint of humor.
"They are desirable, don''t you think?"
Thedies shivered, scared about the consequences of what she was hinting at.
They had been forcefully taken advantage of during their capture and forced to sleep afterward only to wake up to being treated like amodity was beyond demeaning.
"Please let us go." One bold enough to speak up for the rest begs with tears trailing down her cheeks.
Her twinkling blue eyes erged, hoping to solicit empathy from a fellowdy.
Gully internally facepalmed at her attempt to speak with a psycho, this was ady who had no care while she had sex with a strange individual in front of everyone.
Not to mention the fact that she has killed two individuals and nearly killed him for his mistake.
''Keep on dreaming,dy.''
"Let you go?" Yoru mocks with a high-pitched voice while mimicking tearing up.
Thedy bit down on her bottom lip, hurt and bothered by the response.
Laughing and crouching over the feeling of watching the miserable condition of thedies, she tries her best to forget the fact her ns were on the verge of being dyed or worse¨Cruined because of the mistake.
She had initially made use of the rtive peace and theid-back attitude of the citizens with little honing on the Sux or abilities, instead resorted to means of farming or working in assigned jobs to cater for their family.
The overlord who had been so caught up in organizing tournaments and settling the differences in his harem or engaging in some recreational activities was a perfect distraction she had wished could continue.
It had been the perfect opportunity to strike.
With the initial attack on allnds and territories that were upied by beastmen and humans, she could tell the security would be doubled and its citizens alert to another attack.
''These fucking creatures ruined my initial meager sess!''
She couldn''t resort to having sex with the hobgoblins, even though the thought was repulsive, she couldn''t since she had done so with a male of higher rank than them all.
With the humans or a few higher rank beast men, it was easier to get what she needed.
Unlike hers which needs the consent of the males, the main reason she needed arge number of males to be at her disposal.
Her partners need not get consent from the females but could merely induce the beastdies into heat or force their way with the human females. The only use is¨Cthey must be virgins.
This also made the need for nine harem members of Hisha nearly impossible unless they gave their consent.
With her connection with Pesa lost, she grits her teeth at the thought and instead chooses to ignore it for a while.
The main focus was the hobgoblins that she is to manipte to her enjoyment.
"You must have had fun a few hours ago." Yoru teases thedies.
They shook their heads, trying to exin that they had been forced into the act, but all fell on deaf ears.
Tut!
Tut!
Yoru clicked her tongue, whispering to the green hobgoblin. "It must have been pleasurable to let out some sexual frustrations after all those years trapped in that seal, right?"
Grunting with a nod in response, the hobgoblin''s lustful gaze wastched on a red-haireddy that had her long silky hair cascading down her naked body.
"Yes... that''s it, feel it!" Yoru encourages him with a little stroke on his growing erection as she does for the others to steer their mind up for the task.
Thedy''s eyes bulge at the growing erection, fearful of being raped once more.
Whispering to the two, her grin only grows as she instructs. "Make sure to have fun, fuck their brains out, and leave no one alive! Any one of you two who can achieve this sessfully would be spared!"
Thedies let out a scream in sheer horror. Pushing and crawling in a futile effort to escape.
Reluctantly, Gully gently kicks back a green-haireddy, stopping her attempts at tugging at the chain or causing more injuries to her body.
With a lust-driven thought, the hobgoblins rushed at top speed, each pulling on the legs of one of the females, breaking the chain that had interlocked their cuffed ankles and wrists
Leaving the brte female left out forst to scream in horror at being next.
Gully held onto the hair of the brte female who let out wail after wail to what she was going to experience soon from the victor from the two hobgoblins.
Pulling off their leather pants, they were quick to thrust with reckless abandon in hopes of killing them in the process.
Gully winced at the barbaric nature of the gruesome sight. The tear-filled bulging eyes of the females who had their stomachs bulging with outlining cocks from the unfathomable positions they were put in.
He gritted his teeth at the blurry motion from the reckless thrust of the two in a bid to get to their goal.
Time and time again, they would recover from each climax and set out to pound vigorously to carry out the task they were given.
''This wasn''t what we were meant to do, this isn''t our goal¨Cour revenge is meant to be on the Minotaurs, not this! Leader Utuk, what have our people been turned to?''
Yoru leaned on Utuk, watching with enthusiasm and a wicked grin stered.
"Come on! You can do better!" Yoru incites with a whoop.
Ni red at Yoru with hatred at what they were all forced to witness in silence.
''Thel, I hope you will be able to find the clues.''
He recalled thest time he and Thel had gone in search of Mira after she had abruptly left.
.....
When they found her, she was crouched in front of ake, with a stick in her hand poking at a lotus flower.
Her melodious voice had been one of the most beautiful things he had heard.
When they had reached her, she had given an eye-shut smile at being found out.
"You found me!"
He could recall her saying with a sad smile.
She had told them to open their arms and that she needed to give them something precious.
"A jade pendant?!" They had chorused in shock at the broken pieces of jewelry.
.....
He stares down at his cuffed wrist, a smirk on his lips.
Underneath the cuffs, on his wrist was a faint outline of half the jade pendant that was caused the moment it bonded with them.
This was hisst resort, and he hoped it would be a way of him requesting help from his old-time friend¨CThel.
''I need your help, find anyone who can.'' He begged in his thoughts, tactfully covering the faint glow that urs afterward, slightly grateful for the distraction caused by the horrendous act in front of them.

Chapter 149 Not A Dream
An hourter,
Pushing off against Utuk, Yoru stretches her body.
The dead bodies of thedies covered in semen and blood had her shake her head at the sight.
Pointing with her index finger at the green and blue hobgoblin, she beckoned them forward.
"Gully..."
Whipping his head up, Gully responds almost instantly, his voice cracking up the moment his gaze was fixated on the corpses once more.
"Who do you think deserves the grand prize?"
Recalling what they had all witnessed, the blue hobgoblin had been the one to pull on the brte after he had finished off the other.
It had led to a slight altercation between the two as they shoved and pushed to have their way in on her until they chose to thrust in from different holes.
"They had both gone at it..." Gully begins with his thoughts on the act.
Yoru nodded her head, a wide grin at the twist in what she had thought would have been easy to tell the winner.
"But..." Gully dragged on his speech, raising his head as he came up with his side of the story.
"Both had thrusted with reckless abandon, but he had been the one to give the final thrust in her anus before she died."
The blue hobgoblin let out a sigh of relief at being pointed at, dropping to the floor due to weak knees.
Yoru contemted the observation, humming as she gave it a thought and made a mental rey of what had happened.
The green hobgoblin shook his head, scared for his life at not being chosen.
"Huh Uggg Nuggh!" He tried to defend himself, shaking his head at the possible verdict.
Even though Yoru couldn''t understand what was said, she could tell he was trying to deny it being true.
Patting the hair, she whispers in his ear. "That''s alright."
Boom!
The blue hobgoblin pushed back, screeching in fear and repeatedly bowing in front of Yoru in an apology.
Tranting the words that were repeatedly spoken, Gully spoke up for him. "He is very sorry and wishes to make it up to you by going back in search of more females."
"Is that so?" Yoru cackles, shaking her head.
Nodding his head once more, he looked at her, pleading for mercy in case she changes her mind and blows him up alongside his friend.
"I always keep my word," Yoru assures, assuming it might have been the reason he was so scared and resorted to bowing repeatedly till blood was drawn.
Snapping her fingers to get everyone''s attention, she tilted her head and narrowed her eyes at Gully.
"Aren''t you forgetting about something?"
Racking his thoughts on the possible slip, cold sweat dripped down his forehead. Hoping he could get the desired results on time.
Unable to wait till he figures it out, she hints at thest group of people she had told them to capture.
Gulp!
Gully''s heart sank at the thought of what all hordes had gone through attacking the citadel.
Not one of the hobgoblins was able to escape the massacre that had urred there.
From the telepathic message sent from those who tried to flee before their demise, they had gotten to know of the imprable barrier over the harem that prevented them from touching any of them.
With this, some of the harems had overtaken and fought back with equal force.
With a heavy heart, he responds with a shake of his head, "Zero, it is..."
He paused, unsure if it was safe to report thetter and not get killed from her spontaneous outbursts of anger.
Nodding her head to the response, Yoru let out a sigh, "as expected."
Gully raised his head, his yellow eyes shed with hope, slightly thankful she understood the situation.
"... A vast majority of our horde which had attacked the citadel had been killed. No! All had perished at the hands of either the harem, the Vandrik on their side, or the over¨C"
He gulped at the raise of her hand to stop him from speaking further.
"It''s best you refrain from stirring up my unreasonable side with the mention of the immortal''s title!"
Nodding his head and apologizing, Gully hoped he would be able to scale and live to see another day.
Yoru knew it would be a difficult task to get thest requirement needed for the grand ritual.
Although impossible, there was only one way of going around it, and she was determined to exploit such means.
The thought of Pesa once more had her gritting her teeth in rage.
''I had thought you could do one task as I had instructed, yet you betrayed me just like those other two tribal chiefs!''
Taking a few steps back, Gully was skeptical about the frown and the Sux that coated her body as Yoru was deep in her thoughts.
''If anyone could be convinced to join me, I and my partners would be one step closer to gaining immortality!'' Shemented with a growing smirk.
Waving her hand to dismiss the hobgoblin, shemanded Gully to take care of the living neen chained males.
They were her only hope of starting little, she was certain after a bit of winning them over with her charms, they would be unknowing willing participants in her secret ns.
"Keep them in one of my chambers, treat them to quality meals. I need them in top shape." She orders firmly.
Giving a bow, Gully ys a supervisory role as he uses his newfound position to direct the other hobgoblins on leading and pulling their captives.
"Wait!" Yoru orders as her gaze falls on Ni.
''What the hell does she want?'' He rolls his eyes at her approach.
Trying to move forward, he was pushed back by one of the hobgoblins who shook his head and snarled at his near insubordination.
"Gan il duk!"
"Whatever you just said, mate, I fucking don''t understand but I can tell you just cursed at me." Ni points out.
He had merely turned his attention back to Yoru when he felt her hand on him.
Pulling him by the neck, she nted a kiss on his lips, pulling away with a sheepish smile.
Ni was left stunned at the action, disturbed that he might be the next target if he falls in her favor.
"You will ept me." She vowed in a whisper, winking at him.
He winces at the gesture, dodging locking gazes with her anymore and taking little steps due to the restrictions in their ankles.
Yoru blew a kiss his way as she skipped toward one of her partners.
cing a kiss on one of them, she felt a pull on her wrist and onto his thighs.
Her cheeks were flushed at the aggressive mannerism of Liam, the second partner alongside the recement for Gregg¨C Whit.
"You''ve had your fun, it is time we cultivate to stabilize that energy stored in you." Liam''s hoarse voice had her melt in his arms.
Whit raised a brow at the two, being a bit new to the actions between the two, he crawled in their direction, leaning over and kissing her.
"Mmmf!" She let out a muffled moan.
Once the kiss had been broken, she pulled him back in for another.
With his lips just a few inches away from hers, his breath fanning over her face. They stared at each other for a while till she finally spoke. "We can''t here."
"I know." Whit smiled down at her, scooping her in his arms while being followed by Liam.
*****
In Mertac¨CThel''s hideout,
.....
"Where are you going?"
Thel''s voice echoed in his thoughts as he twisted and turned, disturbed by the recurrent dream.
He could see Mia smiling at him and Ni, handing over a broken jade piece into their palms.
"Take this to remember me when I''m gone." She had ryed with tears trailing down her face.
Shaking his head, Thel reached out for Mia but to his shock and horror, his hand passed through her hand as it turned to mist.
"Mia!!!" He had called, holding onto the sleeve of Ni to be sure that it wasn''t a dream at the time.
"Where are you going?! Don''t leave me¨Cus!!" He called out with tears brimming in his eyes.
.....
"Don''t leave me." He muttered in his sleep, with tears trailing across his nose to his left eye.
Gasp!
Jolting awake, he sat up straight and looked around his room.
The dark and gloomy surroundings looked more like he was staring at darkness as though he had never opened them.
Slowly moving towards the edge of the bed, he held his head as a dizzy spell made him feel light-headed.
His eyes were glued to the faint glow on his wrist.
Bringing his wrist back on his thigh, he stared at it in bewilderment. "It wasn''t just a dream?"

Chapter 150 You Call That A Sneak Attack?
Scratching his head, he tried to recall what had happened to him for the past few days.
''I must be delusional since I haven''t gone out in days.'' Thel chuckles at the thought of actually witnessing the half-piece of a jade pendant mark on his arm.
As he got to his feet, he nodded his head to the thought, ''Fresh air, yes! That''s it!"
Thud!
Groaning in pain at the collision made on the floor, he chose to close his eyes and pretend everything was all a dream he needed to wake up from.
''That''s it, sleep.'' He soothed himself in his thoughts, slowly drifting to sleep.
Zzznn!
A sudden surge of pain in his head had him yell out as he witnessed a blurry vision of Ni staring down at him, almost as though he wasying on his thighs.
Ni looked desperate and it looked more like he was calling for help while looking down at him.
''What the hell?!''
With no audio he could use as a way of knowing what was said, he was left in a state of confusion and frustration.
Pushing away from the floor, he got to his feet, looking around him dumbfounded.
Grabbing the curtains, he pulled them open, squinting his eyes at the blinding light that illuminated his room.
Closing it almost immediately, he shook his head, hoping the floating flickers of light fades off from his vision.
His brows furrowed as he recalled something he had seen outside the window when he had peered out but had not paid close attention to it before.
To make sure he saw right, he took his coat and a mask as he felt his way around the dark room, familiar with where the furniture and paths leading to the door.
Click!
Stepping outside, just a few meters away from him was a mutted blue-skinned creature.
Pulling off his mask, he slipped into his coat''s side pocket, gawking at the corpse in disbelief.
''I didn''t see wrong?!''
Observing what was left of its body parts, he tilted his head at the strange pointed ears on the side of its head.
Its jagged teeth were open as maggots squirmed and moved in and out from its mouth to the socket devoid of an eye to its left.
Pegging his nose, he took a step back, feeling his stomach churn with disgust at the sight.
''What the fuck?!'' He exims, holding his stomach and searching his environment for any sign of the culprit.
His settlement was meant to be secret to all except Kenna and Ni, but with the urrence of such a gruesome sight, he took a step back, sneering at the sight.
On second thought, he needed to touch either the clothing or the skin if he needed to correctly tell what creature it was.
''Why were we given this ability, sis?!'' He looked to the sky, a hint of regret shing across his face on what he needed to do for answers.
Furrowing his brows, he pulled his hand away and gave a nod to encourage himself on the need to go through with it.
''The better you know, the easier it is to know if you''re found out.''
Taking a step further, he hears a snap of a twig.
Tk!
Whipping his head left to the sound of a low growl, all he could see was a dense thick bush.
''Whoever you are, this is your best shot at a sneak attack?'' He mocked the attempt,ughing at how unprepared his predator was.
If he could live in secret for so long and seclusion after his little rendezvous in the city square, he could handle whatever was watching him.
Secretly drawing water around his fingers and freezing it, he waited for the best time that his opponent would reveal their attack and location.
''Come on out, let''s y a different game out in the open.'' He says in his thoughts with a sing-song voice.
Whoosh!
"Eeeaaakkkk!" The screeching soundsing from around him had him look around in suspicion.
Observing from his left, he saw a creature lurch at him.
''One to the left! Three behind me!'' He made a mental note, a twisted grin on his lips.
Crossing his hands, he crouched over, shooting out the condensed projectiles in one of the creature''s ways.
Shulk!
In one swift movement, he created more ice projectiles, shooting them into the heads of the rest.
There were more screeching sounds as they dropped to the floor in a thud.
Making a clench with his fingers, he made the ice that had lodged into the heads of the three creatures, having it spread around their body.
''Blocks of ice.'' He sneered.
Turning his attention to the first creature that had attacked, he stomped hard on its chest.
Looking down at the ice ws lodged into its chest, he adjusted his feet and ced them over the bleeding wound.
"At least you are less disgusting, that''s just about fine to me." Hements with a smirk.
Leaning and resting on his thigh, his mood instantly darkened with the glow in his eyes much more prominent for the creature due to the shadow cast on it.
"I got a few questions," his chilly voice broke the eerie silence that had engulfed their surroundings.
The sounds of crickets and the swaying of the leaves and branches had added much more life to the once-dead quiet forest.
Trying to make a sh at his leg, Thel was quick to punch down hard on its face, drawing out green blood.
Crrk!
Thel let out a low chuckle at the sound of its nose breaking, and its blood trailing down and into its mouth.
Touching the side of his face, he sneered at the sight of the blood on his fingers.
''How did I miss this?!''
Manipting the blood off his face, he redirected it onto the creature''s face.
St!
Pushing back his hair, he smiles while looking down at it. "Can you speak?"
Silence!
"I know you can growl and screech, but is that all you can do?" He pries further, hoping for a positive result.
His lips draw into a thin line at theck of words in response.
''Fine, you want it that way, huh?!''
Freezing the wrists onto the floor, he kicks at the face of the creature to vent out his frustration.
Not satisfied with just restricting the creature, he makes a clench whilst fixating his gaze on the ice ws beneath his feet.
Relishing in the vibration he feels as it drills into its chest had him cackling at the thrill he had forgotten.
Only stopping when he sees it wheezing in pain, he clicks his tongue. "Poor living crap!"
His aim wasn''t to kill the creature, at least not yet.
Pulling his feet away, he frowned at the gushing wound that gushed out.
Freezing the surrounding area, he let out a sigh knowing the creature would soon be dead like the rest.
Kicking on the side of its body, he hissed as he repeatedly kicked while begging for a sign.
It was one thing to wander around the woods, but locate his settlement? It was disturbing enough that he had found one previously dead.
Giving up on his chance to get it speaking, he grabbed a hold of the neck chain wrapped around the neck.
An unknown force had him gasp as visions flooded his head, causing him to drop down and pass out.
*****
30 minutester,
Zzziiuunn!
Zzziiuunn!
Zzziiuunn!
Scrunching up his nose, his hands try to swat the annoying buzz off his ear.
Zzziiuunn!
Lazy and unwilling to move his aching body, he opens his eyes slowly, taking a nce around him.
With a sniff of a strange smell, he instantly regrets it as a rush of maggots and dirt went straight into his right nostril.
He jolted awake with a yell, holding onto his head.
Cough!
Fffnnn!!
Repeatedly blowing his nose, he had to resort to using his ability to get his nasal fluid to increase its production.
Tears brimming in his eyes, he held onto his head in frustration, looking behind him at the corpse of the creature he had left for dead.
''Fuck!!!!!!!!!!'' He screamed in his thoughts.
Fffnnn!!!!
After onest try at blowing, he let out a sigh of relief seeing his snot coverings on three maggots and bits of grass and dirt in it.
''Gross!'' He pulls away, rubbing the side of his arms.
Thel smacks his tongue on the roof of his tongue, a sudden need for thirst overwhelming his senses.
Crouching in another wave of pain, he hissed and held the side of his face.
ncing at the decaying corpse, he got yet another sh of memory that involved the attack on Mertac.
In one of the visions, he could see a merman running in the direction of the forest.
The merman had a stick in his hand, shoving and trying his best to fend off the creatures that surrounded and cornered him, while he blurted out the words ¨Cget back, you vile hobgoblins!
It had finally made more sense as to how they had been able to find his settlement.
They had gone in pursuit of the merman and had probably killed him before they realized that they couldn''t find their way back.
Collecting all ideas together, his eyes erged in horror as to what this could mean for those he knew in the market square.
"Oh no! Ni! Kenna!" He exims, rushing back in to get his supplies and set out once more.
Chapter 151 Discord Between Brothers
In the citadel,
Bang!
Crash!
Bang!
Kritz stood still, unsure if it would be a good choice to knock on the door. His knuckles suspended a few inches from going through with the n.
It had been two days after he had recovered from the duel he had with his lord.
During those times, Hisha had managed to restore order and stability in Kurg, but the sting of the unprecedented attack had left all alert to such a coordinated attack on a grand scale repeating itself.
The tribal chiefs had been immersed in the reconstruction and rehabilitation of those who had been affected by the attack.
There was total mourning all across thend at the loss of a family member, a guardian, or a friend.
It had been the scheduled day that Hisha had fixed to visit the Ind of Asrinth.
A part of Kritz was about to call it quits as he views his presence as a mistake if it would be a form of disturbance to Hisha as he was in a fit of rage.
Listening to the destruction going on behind closed doors, he dropped his hand beside him and prepared to leave.
"Kritz!" Hisha called out, his voice hoarse and low.
Cold sweat trailed across his forehead, his brows twitching in shock at being seen so easily.
Click!
The door opened slightly with Hisha close to the jamb, peeking from it before it could bepletely open.
Getting a jump scare, Kritz grimaced and held onto his chest by clutching a handful of his shirt.
With a deadpan look, Hisha opened the door wider, inviting Kritz in.
Giving a slight bow, Kritz timidly walks in.
m!
Hisha looked over his shoulder and at the forcefully shut door, rolling his eyes and walking over to pick up an upturned chair.
Bringing his attention back to Kritz, he had his fingers steepled over his nose, "were you nning on leaving without giving me a report?"
Kritz had been temporarily distracted by the mess and wreckage that had been done to the room.
The paintings that hung on the wall had been torn and the ss, stone, and wooden frame smashed into tiny more pieces due to possible collision with the floor.
The vases that had decorated the little stools ced at the corners of the room had its body broken and their sandy content spilled on the floor.
His eyes bulged at the sight of numerous sh marks that had an uncanny resemnce to Yoru and the hobgoblin general.
''This isn''t good.'' He notes, switching gazes between the carved markings on the wall and that of Hisha''s stoic face.
His heart skipped a beat as he remembered what he had done.
Going to his knee, he apologized profusely, oblivious to the question that was asked.
From the looks of it, Hisha could tell he had been distracted by the carving he had made.
"Soon, Kritz. I''d have her pay for her crimes."
Kritz nods his head to his lord''s word. With a look of admiration, "I know you will, lord Hisha."
Opening up a portal, Hisha looked peered in, at the huge gates of Aster''s fort.
"Are you ready?" He questions Kritz.
Kritz nodded his head, smiling as he walked into the portal.
Zwwp!
They had just stepped out when two spears were thrust three inches away from their feet as a warning.
Hisha''s lips curved up in a smile at the memory of his soldiers doing something simr when he had visited their quarters.
''Impressive aim.'' Hemends, looking over to Kritz who took on a defensive mode in front of him.
"Rx," Hisha soothes with a smile, patting Kritz on the shoulder. "They know why they have to attack, we appeared unannounced."
Kritz eased his tense muscles, straightening his back as he deactivated the glow in his eyes.
Whispering into Kritz''s ear, Hisha chuckles, "they were probably expecting using the same fashion we had done in Mertac."
The guards looked down at the two, oblivious to their status. Picking yet another spear and charging it with their Sux.
A burst of brown Sux expels from both ends of the spear as it''s propelled in their direction.
Creating a barrier, the spears were pulled to it, suspending them in the air as the Sux were drained off it.
nk!
nk!
Kritz watched with enthusiasm at his lord disying a bit of his ability without breaking a sweat.
"Halt!" A voice thundered from inside the fort, making the guards stop and stare at the intruders with suspicion.
[This would be the first time you would visit Asrinth, host]
''Thought as much.'' Hisha let out a sigh, hiding his disappointment at being new to the territory with the first thing being an attack.
Raising his head to the intriguing outlook of the guards stationed at the gates.
''Why do they have long ck horns, bull-like faces, well... look more of a minotaur than you know, the rest?''
[These are the minotaur''s true form, it enhances their normal body limit, only a few can maintain this form without having their brains overridden by the desire to charge]
"Tch¨C"
Hisha scoffs, feeling the familiarity of the exnation.
rk!
"Open the gates!" A loud cry from an advisor calls out to the guards.
They nod their head, a grunt was made with their nose, visible puffs of steam escaping from their nostrils.
As they get a good grip on a thick ck rope, they begin to pull on it which in turn opens the gates.
Walking towards them, Hisha narrowed his eyes at Aster''s approach.
Behind him was a much younger male skipping along.
''Character status.''
[Name: Lancaster Helo]
[Height: 172 cm]
[Position: Head advisor and confidant]
''His brother.''
[His father...]
HTC put up a disappointing emoji at the words of its host.
"Lord Hisha!" Aster pped his hand with a bow before turning his attention back to Hisha. "You made it on time."
Hisha raised a brow at what he might be implying with his words. "Did you wish the trip wouldn''t go well?"
Tongue-tied, Aster stood frozen. Although that was what he wished, he had also thought it was necessary to be duly notified of the method of transit.
"My lord, that''s never the ca¨C"
Brushing past Aster, he paused as hemented on what had transpired a few minutes ago, "this is one way to go about weing me."
"They have no sense of loyalty except to my voice and a few advisors here, kindly pardon them for being so dense."
Hisha let out a grunt in reply, his eyes fixated on the younger brother.
Lancaster couldn''t hide the glint of enthusiasm at meeting the overlord in such a close range.
Aster looks behind him, pulling Lancaster away and hissing into his ears to stay away for his good.
Ignoring his brother''s advice, he shrugs off Aster''s hand and forces a big grin on Hisha.
[There seems to be discord between the siblings]
''One that could be exploited.'' Hisha asserted with a smirk.
Lancaster stared in awe at the overlord smirking as he took a nce his way.
"Don''t just stand there!" Aster snaps, irritated by his brother''s attitude toward the overlord.
"Hey, I can walk you know!" Lancaster hiss at Aster for pushing him forward, urging him to show the way in.
[Task: Win over Lancaster]
[Reward: Charm stats unlock]
Hisha slowed his pace so he could have more time to question his system.
''What''s so unique about charm stats?''
[Charm points are earned through random moments of your ability to please and attract to influence them to your benefit.
This is umted till it reaches its full stats and you are granted full immunity from the consequences of any decision you make for a day]
Hisha''s interest peaked at the mention of ''consequences'', he had wanted to raise the question that rang in his thoughts.
[No, host. It doesn''t work that way with the Vandrik priestess, the Celestials use negates the reward of the charm points]
''Bullshit.'' Hisha hissed, his mood in ruins at the one way he could have gotten a breakthrough from his mental shackles.
Lancaster rushed over to Hisha''s side, waving at him, much to the chagrin of Aster who held in a yell of rage at his brother''s out-of-character moment.
Hisha tilted his head, sharing a nce with Kritz who gave a half-shrug, unable to tell if it would cause any problems.
[A good opportunity to get closer to the brother, use it wisely]
With the p of Lancaster''s hands, the huge stone doors leading towards the living space were pulled open from each side by the guards.
"Lord Hisha," Lancaster calls out as he pulls a chair for him to sit on.
Licking his lips to mask his nervousness, he had his eyes glued to the seat, his grip tightening on the top rail of the wooden chair, hopeful that his gesture would be appreciated.
Raising a brow at the call, Hisha shed a warm smile at the youngd.
Lancaster gasped in shock when he felt Hisha tussle his hair fondly.
"Thank you," Hishaments with a nod of approval, as he takes the gesture.
Relegated to the sideline, Aster narrowed his eyes at the two who seem to get along with his brother.
''He hade to meet me, not you, Lancaster!''
Left with no choice, he devised a n to draw out their attention.
Chapter 152 When In Trouble, Get Beautiful Ladies
mming his hand onto the table, Aster shed a grin the moment Hisha turned his attention in his direction.
''Good, I have your attention.''
Hisha furrows his brow at the interference, noticing the sad look in Lancaster''s eyes.
Lancaster had his shoulders droop as he walked over to his seat on the far end of the table.
"It is a pleasure to have you here, my lord!"
Looking around him, Hisha clicked his tongue. "I can''t say the same about you though."
Lancaster burst intoughter, pointing a mocking finger at his brother.
Snarling at Lancaster, Aster wished so badly that they were alone, if they were, he would have pounced on him a long time ago.
"Watch it, Lancaster." He warns through gritted teeth.
Gulp!
Taking his silver cup, Hisha raised it in a cheer and was about to take a sip when Kritz snatched the cup from his grasp.
''What the hell?!''
"Kritz?" He called, trying his best to be calm so he could understand the motive behind it.
Snnf!
Snnf!
Kritz sniffed the rim of the cup, narrowing his eyes in suspicion.
[That right there is an extremely loyal friend]
Hisha stares in shock upon realizing what he had failed to consider¨Cpoisoning.
Aster got to his feet, pointing an using finger at Kritz. "Surely, there''s no way I would poison our lord, I''m not that stupid!"
Lancaster coughed, whistling when he got a re from his brother.
"Sit," Hishamanded with a grim look.
An overwhelming demeaning aura had him cower and sit as told.
Lancaster smiled sheepishly at the disy, it had been the first time he would witness his brother being controlled with rtive ease.
''My one ticket out of here!'' He looks at Hisha in admiration.
"Kritz did nothing wrong to inspect what I take, after that incident in Winst, it''s only natural that he does so."
Kritz had a proud smile, handing it over to Hisha with a nod to its safety.
Gulping down the wine in a go, Hisha cleared his throat as he prepared to get down to the main reason for his visit.
Looking over to Lancaster, unsure about his presence, he raised a brow at Aster.
"He''s very much aware of the situation, my lord. His presence would shape his thinking towards the future of our people."
Lancaster nodded his head to the words, looking with longing and hoping Hisha would oblige.
"He would make a fine tribal head one day," Hisha concludes with a smile Lancaster''s way.
[Smooth, host. Keep iting]
Ahem!
Aster brushed off the praise, hoping to get on to the question instead.
Throwing his leg onto the table, Hisha tilted his head as a smirk yed on his lips.
Aster''s mouth gapes open at the disy, his brows twitching at the sight.
Unable to speak, he forces a smile, awaiting his questions.
"How long have you known about the hobgoblins?"
Aster''s heart sank at the question, feeling cold sweat break out. There was something off about the way it was asked that had his heart thumping hard in fear.
''I had been told stories while as a youngd, I didn''t think they could be real.''
[He''s lying]
HTC deadpanned, it could register the quivering lips and trembling hands of Aster.
Highlighting the various pointers to his deceit, HTC repeated its disdain for Aster''s behavior.
"You should know it''s not to your benefit if you lie to me," Hisha warned, dropping his feet to the floor and leaning forward.
Kritz could feel the chilly atmosphere and knew it took self control for his lord to keep his anger in check.
''It''s best you speak while you still can, there isn''t much time left before it all goes bad.'' Kritz calls out in his thoughts, d he couldn''t hear, and hoping he wouldn''t think in that line.
Tugging at his brother''s chain, Lancaster gave a subtle shake of his head, hoping Aster could see the reason toe clean about his knowledge.
As much as he enjoyed making fun of his brother, he also felt it terrible to watch him mask what he could have used to save his ass.
"You could provoke something that''s beyond you." He whispers, giving pleading eyes.
Shrugging off his hand from under the table, Aster shed a smile. "My people have been gued by the very creatures our elders had dreaded and warded off. "
Kritz looked down at his food, unwilling to be bothered by the discussion. Taking a scoop of the food and munching on it.
Beckoning Lancaster to sit by his side, he needed to know how useful this jovial contrast could influence Aster.
Pointing to himself in disbelief, Lancaster looked behind him, just to make sure he wasn''t imagining anything.
"Yes, you." Hisha asserts.
Aster held onto his brother''s arm, skeptical as to why he would be called.
Pulling his hands away, Lancaster walks over to a seat beside Hisha sitting down.
Kritz raises his head as he stares at Lancaster with his eyes narrowed.
Making a cutthroat gesture as a warning, Kritz looked back down at his food, taking yet another bite of his food and ripping off the flesh of arge drumstick.
Steepling his fingers in front of him, he smiles, "if you do tell me the truth, I will pardon you with a lesser penalty."
Gulp!
"One of them had attacked us back when we were fishing." Aster blurts out.
[That is not a lie]
"You had been attacked, yet you didn''t alert anyone, not even me?"
Hisha couldn''t even begin to quantify the level of pride that could lead to his tribal chief''s downfall.
First, it had been Mich, and now Aster?
Lowering his head in shame, Aster nodded his head, seemingly having a rethink of his decision.
"Because of this mistake, my people were hurt, and some were abducted!" Hisha spat out in an explosive rage.
Aster flinched at his lord''s rage.
"Can you give an estimate of the number of people who were abducted?"
Aster nodded his head, "twenty males and twenty females."
Although Hisha knew the number of abductees, he had simply asked to stress the severity of his negligence.
"You will have your powers stripped."
Aster gasped, getting to his feet in disbelief. "My lord, please no!"
Hoping they could get past it with a little distraction.
pping his hands, the doors were opened as semi-ddies walked in with a sultry and seductive look in each eye that was concentrated on Hisha.
[When in trouble, always remember that presenting beautifuldies solves all your problems]
HTC ced aughing-hard emoji to mock Aster''s method and its host for being considered an epitome of a lustful ruler.
Hisha''s brows twitched at the imminent approach of thedies.
"If any of you gets within a five-meter radius around me, consider yourself a ve who will be given a century of hardbor!" Hisha hissed in disgust, pointing an using finger at each one of thedies.
They all stare at their tribal head, skeptical about their next action and inability to get closer to him and risk being forced with hardbor.
Aster''s heart raced at the thought of his n falling through.
If usingdies couldn''t work for the once lustful ruler, he couldn''t bear to think of the consequences that would befall him once he dismisses thedies.
Reluctantly, he dismissed them.
Sigh!
Lancaster leaned forward with a grin, his gaze still on thedies'' buttocks as they left.
''You just entered some deep shit, brother Aster.''
Hisha pinched the bridge of his nose, wondering if he shouldment on what had transpired a few minutes ago.
Choosing to ignore the attempt to lure him with a distraction, he decides to make it more tasking for Aster.
"Tell me, how can you stop these creatures from returning to cause havoc?"
Activating the glow in his eyes, he res as he exins. "Any pointless discussion would trigger my anger, speak and act wisely."
Gulp!
With a nod of his head, Aster searched his thoughts as to the best method of approach to the question.
''Would that work?'' His thoughts wander off to an ancient book that had been left behind by the elders.
With it having a lock that could only be triggered with arge amount of Sux, he had been gathering the one he could in Asrinth using the windmills to one day peer its content.
With an idea springing up in his thoughts, he needed to test out the possibility of Hisha being able to open it.
"There is an ancient book..." He began, slightly unsure if this could aid in him keeping his ability.
"Go on." Hisha urges.
Chapter 153 Something Worth Returning To
Looking over to his brother, he hoped he could get the signals he was giving.
Lancaster on the other hand had a smile, enjoying the moment, wishing he could be present in all the dealings with the overlord.
Unlike the meetings with other advisors of Asrinth, this was more than one of those boring sittings.
Giving a re towards Lancaster, "It''s an ancient book that..."
Hisha ps his palm on the table in frustration. "Are you trying to mess with me?"
Shaking his head and denying any seeming foul y, he turns to his brother, hissing the words. "Go get it, you dimwit!"
They had been the only two who knew about the secret library which stores the ancient book he is hinting on.
Pushing back his chair, Lancaster let out a sigh at being treated like a handmaid.
Muttering incoherent words, he rolls his eyes whilst getting to his feet in a hurry.
Turning his attention toward Hisha, he gave a little bow in respect.
The doors were pulled open in preparation for his exit.
Whoosh!
Dashing out at top speed, he hoped to get back before he missed the juicy part of the story.
Hisha tilts his head as to the mystery surrounding the book.
Once it was certain that Lancaster had left, Aster quickly chips in a condition he had learned.
"The initial stage of the book needs to be fueled with raw carnage¨Csomething spurned from the pit of doom."
Kritz grimaced at a strange memory sh through his thoughts at the mention of thetter words, rubbing the side of his forehead in pain.
Noticing this, Hisha tore his gaze from Aster and leaned to his left to question Kritz on the sudden change in his demeanor.
Kritz shook his head, inhaling and exhaling as he tried to regte his breathing.
Aster stood still, narrowing his eyes at Kritz. From the looks of it, all he needed was to find out what had triggered it.
''Finally, something worth seeking the truth about.'' He thought with a grin.
This was something he could use in the future.
[Wouldn''t it be best to use the blood contract on Aster?]
Leaning back into his chair, Hisha teases with a smile, ''aren''t you the smart one now?''
He had thought on that line since the first visit but had turned down the idea.
The first use which had been the sudden involvement of Lancaster, all his contract made had been done in secret.
Having Aster in such a vulnerable state would have been the first step, but the issue of the hobgoblins'' attack wasn''t enough reason to be considered useful.
The other would be the need to establish a ground or deal that Aster couldn''t resist.
One thing he knew was Lancaster wasn''t a good deal worth risking the contract on.
''What if he denies or rejects it?''
Thinking through all the underlying factors, he had second thoughts about its effectiveness.
''I would rather sit back and rx. The perfect opportunity is still out there.''
[You know what''s best, host]
''That is correct.''
Hisha had a proud smirk as he listened to Aster continue with his introduction to his method of possibly tackling the issue.
Aster lowers his voice, his eyes switching attention given from Kritz to Hisha and back again.
"At first I had thought it was something I could never attain, something not worth opening without knowing the consequences..."
"Consequences?" Hisha repeats, suddenly curious about what it could entail.
Aster''s lips curved into a smirk, d he had the full attention of his overlord. "It was said once the book was used, a sacrifice would need to be made¨Can eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth..."
He pauses at the raised hand of Hisha. "Cut the stalling words."
Aster nodded his head, masking his nervousness with a weak smile.
"The library had been a home for the book for centuries, up until now."
Whoosh!
Lancaster dashed back in but was unable to screech to a stop.
''Oh no! No!!!!'' He screams in disbelief at his inability to control his feet.
? Tripping on his feet, he rolls and crashes onto the wall.
Crash
Bam!
Crrk!
There was a collective wince at the painful scenario.
''Ow!'' He groans in pain, pulling out his hand from the crack that had surrounded him after having his body lodged into the wall.
Thud!
Aster facepalms, internally regretting the level of embarrassment he felt after that painful scenario.
Lancaster pushed himself up, dusting bits of granite off his body and masking his pain with a chuckle.
"I''m fine, everyone. You don''t need to worry about anything!"
''It''s the book I''m more concerned about, you dimwit!'' Aster made a strangting gesture as he stared at Lancaster.
Shaking his head at how clumsy his brother was, he let out a sigh to calm his nerves.
"Could I have it?" He requests, opening his palm in expectation of the book.
m!
Lancaster hands over the book with a hard hit on his palm.
Groaning in pain, Aster red at his brother.
"You said you wanted to ''have it'' not ''hand it over''." Lancaster defends his action with a wicked grin.
''I like him already.'' Hisha concludes with a smirk.
[We agree on something, host]
Crash!
Ducking at just the right time, Lancaster looked behind him and at the smashed te that had been thrown at him earlier.
Temporarily forgetting Hisha was present, he yells at Lancaster in rage.
"For once, act your fucking age!"
His chest hyperventting as he points and pushes Lancaster to the floor.
Lancaster stared at his brother in shock, unwilling to look Hisha''s way for fear of having his pride crushed more than it already was.
Getting to his feet, Hisha offered his hand to Lancaster. "What''s with the long face?"
Skeptical about looking behind him, Lancaster had his gaze fixated on the ground, ignorant of the hand outstretched to him.
Aster took three steps back to the murderous intent that he feels emanating from Hisha.
Unwilling to watch his lord have his hands outstretched for such a long time, Kritz yelled. "For someone who''s meant to be fast on his feet, you are slow when ites to seeing and reasoning!"
Unable to understand what he meant, he had involuntarily taken a nce at Hisha''s outstretched hand.
His eyes widened as it looked to him as though a white light shone behind Hisha giving off a holy feel.
Bam!
Aster couldn''t take his brother''s admiration for the overlord.
Blowing on his knuckles, he watched Lancaster double over in pain, clutching onto his head.
Hisha retracts his hand, stifling augh at the disy from the brothers.
''I just found something worth returning to when I need time off.''
Pulling Lancaster by the cor, Aster forces him to take a seat closest to where he was on the floor.
Lancaster res at his brother, puffing his cheek as he looks longingly to Hisha to save him.
[What the hell? You aren''t even trying, host]
''What can I say? My power gives off charisma and fear.''
Patting Lancaster on his hair, he realized how calm thed had been.
"You''ve been helpful so far and I have gotten a good smile out of it."
Aster''s mouth gapes open, confused and disturbed by the growing familiarities between the two.
He had known the overlord rtively longer than Lancaster.
''That''s my brother!'' He screams in his thoughts in jealousy.
Ahem!
He cleared his throat loudly.
Hisha rolls his eyes and walks over to his seat.
Kritz got to his feet, pulled Lancaster from the chair that he had been ced in, and threw him onto the chair he had been in.
"Much better, just like lord Hisha ced." He said with a smile.
Getting to his seat, he looks across the table to the familiar sight of Lancaster in front of him.
[You have such a loyalpanion to do your bidding, must be nice]
''Are you making fun of me?'' Hisha snapped, slightly triggered by his system.
Still, in a state of shock, Lancaster sat frozen, staring at the table for quite some time.
Hisha let out a low chuckle at Lancaster''s behavior, finding it simr to how he behaved while he was on earth.
Leaning to his side and whispering to Lancaster. "It''s alright to feel like you don''t mean anything like you have no purpose, I used to have that same way."
Lancaster stiffly turned his head, puzzled by the words of the overlord.
"Just remember, we will always have opportunities that would bring out the best in us, and I know you will too."
Poking on Lancaster''s head, he gave a warm smile.
[500 Sux exhausted]
*****
A/N
? Any idea on why his Sux decreased?
My heartfelt appreciation to those who vote with powerstones on my book constantly or happened to devote them currently.
Do use yourments, summoning pens, gifts, votes, and golden tickets to request faster/more updates.
Chapter 154 It Glows, But Its Blank?
Lancaster''s eyes bulged with the 200% percent boost in his Sux. Although he didn''t understand how it had been done, all he knew was there could be no mistake in what he had felt.
Aster''s mouth gaped open at the sight of Hisha transferring a fraction of his Sux to his brother.
[Why did you do that, host?!]
Hisha turned his attention away, not uttering a word.
Ding!
[Task: Win over Lancaster is achieved]
[Reward: Charm stats unlocked]
''Exactly.'' Hisha replies with a satisfying grin.
He had a hunch that Lancaster had been pushed around by Aster due to his clumsy, weak, young, and naive state of being.
If that were to have a slight change even if it was a drastic one on any of the things hecked, it would aid him greatly in winning Lancaster over.
[How did that do the trick?]
HTC had numerous confused emoji scroll across the screen.
''Why does it seem like you didn''t want me getting that stats?''
Hisha narrowed his eyes at the user interface.
''Why was it him?''
Gritting his teeth in restrained anger, Aster picks up the book from the table.
A blue hard-covered book bordered with silver decorative ornament swirls.
He walked back towards the chair, taking his seat on the far end, a frown evident on his face.
There was an eerie silence for a while, as they all stared at one another, awaiting Aster''s exnation.
mming the book on that table, Aster pushes it towards Hisha.
cing his hand on the book, Hisha raised a brow as the borderline glowed from his touch.
[You have raw carnage spurned from the pit of doom]
HTC mocks its host as it processed the main reason for the glow.
[umted deaths of individuals, point essed through direct and indirect involvement is immeasurable, host]
Hisha''s mood dropped to the words, it had him thinking the previous host might have gone on a killing spree once in his life.
Retracting his hand, he narrowed his eyes when he ced his hand back again to confirm it.
"The book finally glows!" Aster chuckles with a maniacal glint.
"Finally glows?" Hisha repeats, tired of not getting answers so easily.
Lancaster''s vision was slowly getting blurred as he stared at Kritz.
Aster pauses when he witnesses his brother''s horns grow an inch longer signifying his evolving progress.
Raising his hand, Lancaster got to his feet. His words were jumbled up, all he wanted was a chance to walk out and have some sleep.
Not bothering to exin the body change that had taken ce, Aster simply nodded his head to the request
Slouching his shoulder, he drags his feet, yawning and waving to the rest.
''Was it because of me?'' Hisha chuckled at the sound of Lancaster letting out a burp as he left.
Aster let out a sigh of relief, seeing Lancaster didn''t need to be present too for the exnation of the book''s secret.
Confident that Lancaster had left, he let out a sigh of relief.
Hisha''s mood immediately turned sinister as he red at Aster at the unnecessary dy of the big reveal of what could be found in the book.
"I know nothing of its content, just that whoever possesses it can find a way of finally eradicating my tribe''s mortal enemies."
Opening the book, Hisha shielded his eyes from the blinding light, grimacing and peering into the blinding light.
Shaking, Hisha held down the book from drifting and dropping onto the table.
Stylishly walking towards Hisha''s side, Aster tried to peer into its content.
"Ahhh!" Aster lets out a scream at the blinding light that prevents him from seeing anything.
Hisha wiped on the surface of the book, hoping to tone down the blinding light.
Kritz hisses, pushing back and rolling his eyes at the scene before him.
"It''s nk!"
Aster furrows his brows at the deadpanned word of Hisha.
With the book being unable to be looked at by anyone other than Hisha, it made it difficult for Aster to confirm the words.
Hisha''s furrowed brows knew no end as he flipped through its pages in a rush.
m!
Throwing the book on the table in a fit of rage, Hisha steepled his fingers in front of his face.
Aster jumped back in fear and confusion, mumbling to himself. "This wasn''t what was meant to happen."
"Aster," Hisha''s chilly voice had all hairs on his body stand on its end.
Grabbing the book, Aster tried to open it to no avail.
Cursing repeatedly at the strange urrence, Aster stiffly turned to Hisha, going down to his knees.
"Am I a joke?" Hisha questions, his green eyes glowing as he stares down at Aster.
Shaking his head and profusely denying the words, he looked to Kritz toe to his aid, "I would never, please listen to me."
Kritz scoffs and ignores the plea in Aster''s eyes.
''My lord, just kill him.''
Hisha took a nce at Kritz and the twisted smirk on his lips gave away the thought that crossed his mind.
''I have bloodthirsty people as my closepanions.'' Hisha deres to HTC.
[For someone who could fuel a book powered by raw carnage, you''re one to speak, host]
Bam!
Hisha unintentionally ps his hand on the table to HTC''s words.
"I am deeply sorry, my lord!" Aster yelped while bowing his head repeatedly.
Clenching his fist, Hisha gritted his teeth at the unintentional outburst he was meant to keep in his subconscious.
[I apologize, host. I got carried away]
"The book," Hishamands, opening his palm.
In a rush, Aster gets to his feet, picks up the book, and ces it gently onto Hisha''s palm.
Hisha examined the body of the book for any signs or clues that could exin why it was nk.
''There must be something that should exin what''s going on.''
Bringing the spine of the book closer to examine, he noticed a glint sh onto his face.
Scratching the spine, he notices a strange lettere into view.
Aster had wanted to tiptoe once more but was stopped by Kritz ring at him and shaking his head.
''HTC, what do these letters say?''
Scanning the letters, HTC put up a rotating thinking emoji.
[Scanning.... loading 10%]
Drumming his fingers on the table, Hisha waits for the result of the scan.
Ding!
[The truth is only prevalent to the true one]
''What the fuck does that mean?''
[The nk pages are merely a result of you being among others who the book doesn''t trust]
To exin further, HTC added.
[You are the true one]
Hisha stifled augh as it reminded him of the silly protagonists that were the ''chosen ones''.
"My lord?" Aster muttered, skeptical about Hisha''s silence while staring at the book.
Raising his head to the call of his name, he raised his brows to the disturbance. "Is there anything that you''d want to say to get my attention?"
Gulp!
Kritz shook his head at Aster''s stupid move on getting Hisha''s attention.
Shaking his head, Aster looked down.
Hisha''s smile only grew as he stared at Aster. Patting his hand on the book, "thank you for sharing this book with me."
"My... lord?" Aster whipped his head up to meet Hisha''s gaze.
"You''ve passed the test, your abilities won''t be taken..."
Aster let out a sigh of relief, stretching to get the book.
Pulling the book closer to himself, Hisha shook his head. "I take this with me."
Aster''s mouth gaped open at the new development, "Lord Hisha, it''s a nk book, you said that."
"It doesn''t trust you, I will be taking this with me to peer at its contentter on."
Hisha''s words felt like a stab to his heart, the book of his people rejected him.
Forcing a smile, Aster nods his head to the exnation.
Getting to his feet, Hisha hands over the book to Kritz.
"I would like tomend you on the delicious meal..."
Aster cast a deadpanned look on the untouched food before Hisha.
''Did I miss the part where he tasted the food?''
Kritz nodded his head in agreement, being the only one who ate, he took Hisha''s words on his behalf.
"... the drinks were poison free." Hisha specifically points out.
Gulp!
Aster masks his nervousness with a smile.
"I would never be so stupid to poison my immortal lord," Aster replies with a bow.
Hisha raised his index finger, emphasizing the most important part he enjoyed.
"I enjoyed the fun andedic relief from your brother," Hisha added with a smile.
Aster stared at Hisha for a while, stunned by the change from what he could recall several years before the start of the tournament.
''HTC did I make a mistake again?'' Hisha''s heart thumped at the strange stare from Aster his way.

Chapter 155 What Am I?
[You do forget the original host rarely smiled. Even Kritz had noticed]
''Shoot!'' Hisha hissed in his thoughts.
[There was no reason to be happy with the failure to locate Dalsa]
Sigh!
Hisha puts up a nk face as he stares back at Aster.
Nodding his head, a smile tugged at his lips at the intriguing change. "I''m d you enjoyed your brief visit, my lord."
"I will alert Lancaster after his nap about your fond interest in him." He concludes.
Kritz took the stone jug, "could I?"
Aster was visibly disturbed by how polite the Vandrik was, he thought it might be due to the influence of his lord.
Slowly nodding his head, he gestures for him to take it and jokes, "we could always make another."
Kritz''s mood was suddenly uplifted after that, holding onto the jug with his left hand.
Opening up a portal, Hisha gave a light nod and walked through it.
Zwwp!
Crash!
Aster turned over the table in rage, kicking on some cutleries, and stepping on the spilled cup of wine on the floor.
Roaring, he hyperventted as he let out one final scream.
''They think they can boss me around?'' He scoffs, rolling his eyes at the thought of his book in the hands of Hisha.
"I will get it back, just you wait till I get stronger!!" He calls out to no one, raising his fists, his eyes glowing with determination.
*****
Stepping into the hallway, Hisha looked down and back at how it is lonely and devoid of anyone passing by.
Opening his arm to get the book, he gave a weak smile. "Thank you for assisting me today."
"It is my duty, my lord."
[Charm+5]
Hisha raised a brow to the new point stats visualizing.
''What''s the least amount of points I can gain from an individual?''
[Five]
Hisha had a smirk tug at his lips as though d about what Kritz had said.
In reality, he was d that he could get points from anyone, not just his harem members¨Ca point worth getting to be granted full immunity.
''If I get points in this way, it means getting the immunity wouldn''t be that difficult.''
[Well... host... it is my duty to borate once you''re alone]
Although HTC''s words sounded a little fishy, Hisha nodded his head to HTC and ultimately to Kritz.
"Thanks for the help." He says, patting his shoulder.
[You should get to your room, the quicker you get to sleep, the better it is for your depleted Sux, host]
''I already know that, HTC.''
[I have to remind you, just in case of slight distractions you might encounter]
''What could that be?''
Kritz gave a bow in respect to themendation from his lord.
[A certain subus]
Hisha''s body stiffened at the thought of not meeting up with Alta for some time.
''Fuck!''
Feeling uneasy at the thought, he let out a sigh.
Holding onto the book, Hisha bid Kritz farewell for the day, turning the other way to get to his room.
Kritz watches with a smile until Hisha was out of his line of sight.
Yawn!
Shaking the jug, Kritz thought of the pleasure he could derive by drowning himself in wine.
''It''s about time I visit Gad. A drink with someone shouldn''t be that bad.''
*****
Laying down on his bed, Hisha tossed the book onto the pillow.
''Do you think I would ever find Dalsa? Would the original host want to take control of his body once I do all the hard work for him?''
He had given it a lot of thought as to the reason the previous host had acted the way he did.
He had acted like someone who had gotten his heart broken and was merely working on his emotions when dealing with others.
[You have made more progress than the other host and you have something you never had previously]
Sitting up, he scoffs at the thought of what that might be. ''Let me guess, you?''
[That''s right but not the only thing that you possess. The emotional attachment isn''t present, which is why you can think much more rationally than he had done]
Hisha stared at the mirror hanging on the wall.
Getting off the bed, he made his way toward the mirror, almost as though he was possessed and curious about what he had seen.
cing his hand on the mirror, "do you think I might be like him? I feel like my true identity is getting lost the more I interact with others in this world.''
[...]
Outlining the sharp jaws on the reflection, he continues whilstbing through his hair. "I kill without any form of remorse and sometimes it''s thrilling, what the hell am I?"
He thought back to the first few weeks he had gotten to thend of Kurg, how he was mentally disturbed by the barbaric and easy way of killing off anyone that went against the usual norms.
''Haha! How can I witness a head being ripped off by Kritz and feel fine?''
HTC ced a worried emoji for its host, wondering why he was suddenly being so sentimental.
Punching at the mirror, Hisha furrowed his brows as he stared at the bloodied fractions of the mirror.
Bam!
Bam!
''If that fucker takes over this body after I''ve gotten all he couldn''t, it''s gonna be an internal war!!!'' Hisha barked in his thoughts.
Bringing his hand to have a look, he let out a peal of crazedughter at the wounds rapidly healing.
''I really can''t die huh?''
[Host? Are you alright?]
Nodding his head, he turned to his side, opening a portal to and with the majority of its mass being ciers.
Picking the mirror, he flung it in and closed up the portal.
''I have worked for this shitty life that I got! No one is going to take it away from me!'' He deres with determination.
[Host, you just need some rest, yes, that would do]
Touching his bare chest and over his heart, he furrowed his brows at the rhythmic thumps of his heart.
''It beats like the normal way anyone would.'' Hisha jokes with a bitterugh.
Picking up a side table with rtive ease, he raised it over his head.
[Host, no!]
Crash!
Huff!
Huff!
HTC watched the damage that had been caused, it looked simr to the start of the damage that had been caused before Kritz''s presence was known.
If there could be any time to distract its host, HTC hoped Kritz would be at the door again. It couldn''t properly understand the thoughts of its host after the casualties that were done in Kurg.
''HTC, why am I the overlord? Why an immortal? What the fuck was the original host thinking taking over such a twistednd?!''
Bam!
Bam!
He continuously punched into the table, never caring about bits of wood flying toward his face.
[Host, fits of anger wouldn''t bring back the dead]
''You see, that temptress has some sort of way around this, why not me?!!!'' Hisha counters.
The one thing that pissed him no matter how he wished HTC could divulge was the fact that he didn''t know the bone of contention Yoru had with the original host.
''What piece of information am I missing? Why do I have to be caught in all these weird conflicts?!''
Laying on the floor, he closed his eyes. Wiping at his face, he let out yet another chuckle. ''There wasn''t even a tear.''
He looks at his dry palm, shaking his head at the sight.
If it had been the Hisha Fang that works in the record store, he would have bawled his eyes out at the numerous deaths caused by him.
''I guess that''s how it is now.'' He nods his head, trying to adapt to the thoughts of his new life that shed before him like a dream.
[What life would you have preferred, your previous life or this?]
''The weird thing is I''m slowly forgetting what I had in my previous life.''
He raised his hand towards the ceiling as though reaching out.
''That girl I had a crush on in the record store, what did her face look like? How did her lips feel? Nothing!''
Bringing his hand down, he let out a sigh and shook his head.
Looking at the user interface that popped up, signifying HTC''s intent on speaking.
''Do you think I''d want to go back to something uncertain?''
[I had not thought about how you would feel, host]
''It''s alright, you''ve done nothing but help this stupid host.''
Hisha wished he could get HTC to materialize itself into something he could hug.
[I was wrong, host, you are the only host I''ve ever known, and was the most fun I''ve ever had with the journey with you]
Hisha let out a chuckle, it felt equally weird to have HTC speak with such sentimental words.
''Are you trying to cheer me up?''
[I just might be. You can''t repeat the same actions the previous host had made]
Pushing himself off the ground, he sat upright, suddenly curious about what that could mean.
''You''re hiding something, what could be so difficult to say?''
Chapter 156 The True Tale Of The Hobgoblins?
[...]
Hisha shook his head, realizing he was asking something out of his jurisdiction. ''Never mind, I will get that 70% recovery you need to unlock that feature.''
Rolling his eyes, he got to his feet and watched all the damage he had caused. ''I did all this?''
[That''s right, host. Dangerous host on the loose]
A small smile tugged at his cheeks as he made a wave of his hand.
[Ability: Time rpse]
[300 Sux exhausted]
Watching as all the damage he had created returned to its original state, he nodded his head in slight pride.
[How did you know you could use this ability?]
Folding his hands, he shook his head. ''Don''t underestimate me, HTC.''
Hisha had a wicked grin, finally letting off his doubts and worries off his chest, he couldn''t care less how much Sux he had wasted to have the majority of the things he had destroyed get fixed.
[You''ve grown than the wimp and idiot of months ago]
''I will take that as apliment. I have to adapt if I want to survive.'' Hisha gave a half-shrug.
[It is apliment]
HTC affirms with a smirk emoji.
Rubbing his hands together, Hisha requests his character status.
__________
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1007]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 200/1000]
[Meretrix: 3]
[Points: 76000]
[Exp:13]
[Total number of your harem: 6211]
__________
Sigh!
Hisha stares at the Sux that had been depleted, it was lower than he had expected.
[You also know you did bad to your Sux, right, host?]
Rolling his eyes and refusing toe clean to his actions, Hisha scoffs, contemting the rest of the stats he needs to look up.
''The faster I can ovee this, the better I am at beating that return.''
He could feel that his lustful stats could y a role in his body being taken over by the previous host.
[What are you thinking, host?]
''I''m doubtful about the previous host''s rtionship with Dalsa. It looked like something more happened between them.''
[That''s a possibility]
''If I do find and see her clearly instead of all the blurry shit going on, this body might be inclined to get intimate.''
Hisha pulls on his flesh, shaking his head. ''That lustful dickhead!''
[You are the lustful dickhead now, host]
HTC deadpans with a nk lips emoji.
''I want to scale the mark set for me before I get to fully engage in searching for more clues about Dalsa.''
He looked slightly disappointed that even with the mental stamp he had gotten while in Mertac.
Pinching the bridge of his nose, he shook his head in disappointment. ''There''s not a person who has seen Dalsa.''
[That is because you keep turning it off!!!]
Facepalming at the reminder, Hisha looked anywhere but the user interface. ''My Sux and points were at stake at the time.''
[Fun fact: You have enough of those to keep it running for weeks as long as you try to rejuvenate the tournament]
''Activate mental stamp, I might as well just see its effectiveness.''
Ding!
[Mental stamp reactivated]
[Usage: For each sessful targetes a deduction of 1000 points and ? of your Sux]
Shaking his head, Hisha could already see his Sux disappear before his eyes once it started. ''As much as it is fun, I know I''d be ripped off.''
[You can''t be ripped off by what is already set by my calctions]
''Same thing.'' Hisha deadpans with a stoic face.
Getting bored, he requests his lustful stats.
__________
[Lustful experience: 37/20000]
[Fetish: 7/20]
__________
''Fetish, I can work with that for better results.'' Hishaments with a grin of satisfaction.
''Memory recovery, I have a clear idea of its percentage.'' Hisha raised his chin, pleased with his knowledge of that at the least.
[That would be?]
''20/100%.'' Hisha replies with an air of confidence.
Numerous pping emoji scroll past the user interface.
There was one that he really needed knowledge on. ''How many points do I need to gain my immunity?''
[What are you thinking, host?]
''Answer my question first before I reply to yours.''
___________
[Charm points: 5/690]
___________
Cough!
Cough!
''What the fuck is that?'' He spat in disdain at the number of points needed.
[Your charm point stats]
Narrowing his eyes at the user interface, ''you did this on purpose, didn''t you? How the heck do I get 690 points?''
[Quit whining, host. It was never said it would be that straightforward]
''Give me a usible reason why it''s freaking 690!''
[Don''t you think you exude charisma? This doesn''t include just your harem but others as well]
Hisha let out a sigh, shaking his head in disappointment. ''I don''t know if I should be happy about this or not.''
[Look, on the bright side, you have more ways of gaining charm points]
''Very calming, thank you.'' Hisha snaps.
Walking over to the bed, heid back, pulling the book onto his chest.
A slight tremble of the book had him sit up. "It moves."
The outlines of the book glow with it shaking violently.
Pllllllllllp!
Several pages flip over till ites to an abrupt stop in the middle.
A soft chime sound could be heard as little blue sparkles converge to form a face that resembled a hobgoblin.
Staring at the face for some while, Hisha frowns at the abrupt pause.
''What the hell is this?''
[You have to wait, host]
''Haven''t I waited long enough?''
|Lord Hisha, it is a pleasure to meet with you|
Having a double take on the face smiling at him, he took a deep breath and maintained his grip on the fore-edge.
''Who is this hobgoblin?'' He questions HTC, hoping to get some lead on it without seemingly looking clueless.
|My name is Grut, I was one of the first evolved species of goblins|
Letting out a smile, Hisha nods his head to the introduction, but his face changes once he processes the information.
"If you say you''re one of the first evolved species of the goblins, how did you know my name?"
|The book bonds and umtes all the information gotten from the series of actions our new host provides with the given energy|
''HTC, by information, it means...?''
[All factual data about you, basically your character status and the collection of what had happened while the previous host and you had done in battle]
|We have seen the damage our race has caused to thend and would want to help in redeeming ourselves in exchange for letting my people return to the sealed dimension|
"Why did youy a siege to the goblins?"
The face furrowed its brows at the question, visibly disturbed by the choice of topic from Hisha.
|We had to eliminate the threat that caused us destion to our ingenuity|
Sensing Hisha couldn''t quiteprehend what was being rted. The face dispersed into bits of sparkles once again.
The pages turned to a nk sheet.
Watching the sparkles converge into a visible picture that showed the times in Asrinth during the time ruled by the chief¨CAster''s father.
|We evolved during the construction of the windmills in Asrinth. But with that, came a price|
Impatient and needing answers, Hisha was quick to blurt out, "what price."
Instead of telling, Hisha watched sparkles harmonize to form moving pictures that showed the oppressions the hobgoblins endured under themand of the goblins.
A sad smile tugged at his lips as he watched, reminiscing on the times he had missed the calming effects of watching the television.
The more he viewed the shocking revtion of the hobgoblins'' reason for their actions.
The sicker he felt for acting on the programmed information that had been nted deep in the hearts of the Minotaurs and the ancient history books from which HTC had made its conclusion.
[Cross examining....]
HTC was quick to check all possible records at its disposal which could affirm the im.
Ding!
A blurry drawing on a scroll partly describing what had been seen and several runic writings in one of the manuscripts popped up.
[Updating....]
[I apologize for the misinformation, host]
''It''s fine, we all make mistakes once in a while. The goblins hid the truth, even from the Minotaurs.
|With our innovative ideas misused, our people were forced to rebel. In an act of retaliation, our anger zed at the windmills which was a grim reminder of the hardships we endured to the advantage of the goblins taking all of the credit|
Hisha nodded his head, rubbing his chin as he processed the information.
"Why would you want your people back in the seal?"
|As a payment for the distortion in the bnce of the Land of Kurg. Our existence has caused nothing but misery to others, to atone for it, it''s best to return before the seal is permanently damaged|
Seeing so much potential that coulde with having a horde under hismand, he counters. "What if I can convince them to join me?"
Grut raised a brow to the question, contemting the offer.
Chapter 157 Replenish The Carnage Level
"Your people are bitter because of the treatment from the goblins and all you''ve helped build, all taken from you all."
Grut nods his head to the words, although slightly confused as to where it was headed.
|I still don''t understand where you are headed with this, lord Hisha|
Hisha snaps his fingers, confident that his ns will work.
"The bitterness is spun from an unfair treatment from the goblins, not a disdain towards everyone," Hisha exins with a grin.
Grut''s eyes widen at the thought of the truth.
Hisha narrows his eyes as his voice turns cold. "Right now, I''m sure it''s Yoru''s doing, she is the one who made a few hordes attack Kurg for her borate ns."
|YORU!!!|
Hisha stares at the trembling book in shock.
From the looks of things, she had pissed off more than just him.
"Tell me what you know about her! What did she do to you?!"
|She had been among the elders that had sealed us!!!|
Hisha did a double take, shocked by the possibility of her being there.
[The elders in Asrinth didn''t just consist of Minotaurs, but selected prodigies of a few tribes]
Pulling the book closer, he hisses to get the truth out of Grut. "How could you tell it was her?"
Grut mentions hair color, appearance, and ability. Hisha pushes the book aside to have a thought about what he had heard.
She wasn''t just a bane in his life but had been for a whole tribe.
It all began to fall in ce¨Cit would exin how she had been able to know the whereabouts of the sealed hobgoblins, how to open its seal and have control over them as she owns the power to do so.
[The book really dide in handy]
''HTC, why do I feel you know a lot more, yet you are keeping something behind because of my memory recovery percentage?''
[...]
HTC ces a nk emoji, knowing it couldn''t divulge more than is required for its host level.
[You should make use of the book and get a bit of any possible information you can get from it while itsts]
''While itsts?'' Hisha corks a brow in suspicion.
[The book can only dispense its information for a certain period as per the level of energy fed to it]
|She is more dangerous than we realized. Underestimating her would be the biggest mistake anyone could make|
Those words spoken by Grut struck a chord in Hisha''s heart.
He felt it as a jab to the heart and also his pride. "What is that supposed to mean?"
|She possesses some forbidden techniques that have kept her up until your time, host.
Once she gets what she wants, there is no stopping her|
Picking up the book, Hisha brings the book closer to his face. "You know what she wants!"
Grut stares at Hisha, his brows upturned with fear from the creepy look that shed his way.
Hissing with a low growl, "spill it!"
[That method can''t work, host]
|Raw carnage level depleted~10%|
''What the fuck?!'' Hisha screamed in his thoughts, tossing the book away.
|To get the information you seek, please replenish your carnage level, lord Hisha|
Hisha let out a bitter chuckle,bing through his hair in frustration.
''First, it was HTC, now it''s Grut! Great! Just great!!!''
[Hey! I''m innocent, host]
''Fuck that innocence of yours!'' Hisha snaps in spite.
Punching repeatedly on his bed, he forces a smile as he brings the book onto his crossed leg.
Inhaling and exhaling, he tries to speak calmly, "Grut, why did the points suddenly reduce, and now I need to replenish it, immediately after I asked that question?"
|The severity of the question determines the depletion of the percentage|
Narrowing his eyes at Grut, he could almost feel as though the action was intentional and like HTC, was trying to hide a bigger picture.
Choosing to let it slide, he inquires, "what does it take to get my carnage level to 100%?"
|Death/gore/destruction must equal 900 points|
"Ha!" Hisha let out yet anotherugh at the condition given.
Getting to his feet, he paces around while cursing at anything that coulde to mind, pointing at the ceiling as he refers to the Celestials, and pointing around as he imagines his tribal chiefs.
He pauses when the thought of Yoru came to mind. ''You deserve the pit of hell after I''m done with you!''
[Host, you are meant to answer Grut]
Rolling his eyes, he walks over to the book, picks it up, and smiles. "What''s the point scale for each part?"
|¨CDeath¨C
5% [Any individual of importance who is personally killed by you]
3% [Any individual of importance who is killed for you]
1% [Cannon fodder killed by you or your subordinates]
¨CGore¨C
10% [When the three factors are met at the same time¨Cmurder, bloodshed, and violence]
¨CDestruction¨C
5% [The greater the destruction done with the purpose to boost your status will lead to an increase in the percentage]
That is all you need to know about how to replenish your raw carnage, lord Hisha|
Hisha blinks several times, not because of what he was told, but the fact that he had matched all the criteria perfectly since he could open the book.
''How many percent was my raw carnage level as at when you were awakened?''
|4500%|
Gulp!
Hisha smiles to hide his shock, feeling he had done more damage than he had ever thought possible.
''HTC, who would have thought I had done such great work in just a few months?'' Hisha sarcastically asks as he turns around to pace once more.
|I will be hibernating now, lord Hisha|
Pllllllllllp!
? The pages flip over and m shut.
"I need to bring back the tournament and increase its difficulty, set out to find some piece of trash and cause enough destruction to instill fear into those who take my rule as a game that one could navigate around!''
HTC watches its host''s frowning face as he deres in his thoughts.
[You need to rest, host]
''I know.'' Hisha said with a sigh, staggering over to his bed and falling face first.
Pulling the book close to him and hugging it like a pillow, Hisha turned slightly to his side.
[Why are you hugging the book, that''s strange]
''I know some fools would try to break in and get this. It''s only natural I keep it close and see how they can get it away from me this way.''
Hisha scoffs, rolling his eyes and looking back down at the book.
Patting the top, he smiles. "I got something that could aid me from one of the idiots I despise."
[Host, there are various ways to go about this. A more effective way]
Pulling himself to his side, he raises a brow as hements. ''Humor me.''
[You could add it to your inventory]
The words sounded like a beautiful reminder of what his system could do.
''I would like that, thank you.''
HTC felt a bit guilty about its next words.
[To store items not given by the reward system, a fee of 10,000 points will be deducted]
Hisha''s face fell at the mention of the points.
''You are all after my hard work! What could I do without the use of points, Sux?''
[Your fists]
HTC deadpans with a stoic emoji.
Hisha has a simr face as he stares at the user interface.
''Such useful information!'' Hisha ms the book on the bed in suppressed rage.
[There has to be a use for what you gather, or else what is the ''point'' of possessing them?]
Nodding his head at the logical exnation, it finally put him at ease as he thinks of it in a better light.
''I will get another, so I guess it''s fine.''
[Good]
''It still hurts though.'' Hisha jokes as he did feel like he was losing a prized collection he had gotten so used to.
[Would you like to proceed, host?]
''Do I have a choice?''
[Yes, you could ''sleep'' with it!]
Internally facepalming at the words, Hisha nods his head to the request.
Ding!
[Book storage in the inventory... loading]
[umted points: 66000]
The book pulled away from Hisha, disintegrating into sparkles and converging into a blue ball of sparkles before entering into Hisha.
"Woah!" Hisha exims out loud, feeling his chest and thinking about how possible that was.
[Once you fulfill the criteria given by Grut, it will materialize to answer your question]
Hisha made a humming sound, thinking about what he had heard. ''Now, all I need is sleep.''
Yawn!
''Tomorrow marks another day of bringing back the tournament. I won''t miss it for anything!'' Hisha rtes with a satisfied smile.
[Till the next day, host]
Repeating the words as he slowly drifts to sleep, ''yes, the next day.''

Chapter 158 Wake Up, Darling! °
[Slightly R-18]
*****
Guard''s quarters,
Knock!
Knock!
"Loid?" Gad calls, hoping to get a response from the other side.
"Open up, idiot!" Loid calls out in a hurry, banging at the door.
Dragging his feet, Gad slouches and reluctantly pulls on the door knob.
Bang!
Jumping back before he was hit by the door, Gad was about to call down profanities on how careless Loid had been.
"Hello, sheep brain!" Kritz teases with a grin.
"W-What the heck is going on?" Gad switches nces between Loid and Kritz.
Bewildered by a stone jar and two wooden cups in Kritz''s hand, his thoughts spiraled into more confusion.
''He came to have some drinks?'' He wonders, his gaze fixated on the items.
Tearing his gaze away from Kritz, he had a deadpan face at how Loid stood quiet as he was shoved in.
Using his feet to close the door, Kritz shes a smile. "It''s so nice to be here, once more."
''I don''t know if I can say the same for you.'' Gad cringed but chose to stay silent.
Kritz took a nce around with an expressionless face.
''Finally!''
He let out a sigh of relief, spotting a table among the huge heaps of unwashed clothes.
Pushing off all the clothes, Kritz ces the cups on the table, his hands akimbo as he inhales with a sense of aplishment.
"This is nice." He mutters to himself, content with the little friend he is trying to make.
Loid forced a huge grin, unsure if he could speak on why Kritz had dragged him to Gad''s quarters.
Cowering and unsure of his actions, Loid gulps and shakes his head to defend himself from his re at Gad. "He had forced me toe here."
''Way to go, crumbling my hopes of having a friend over and checking on me!''
Gad''s mood dropped drastically after the revtion, facepalming and disappointed by his words.
He looks over to Kritz, realizing he had been the only one who had constantly visited to cheer him up.
Loid sneaks to get a ce to hide from Kritz.
Zzt!
Disappearing from his original location, he reappears behind Loid.
Smack!
Flying across the room, his face collided with the wall, having a huge scratch that had torn his face.
A blood-curdling scream could be heard as Loid pulls himself up, holding the side of his bleeding face.
Gad grimaces at the sight, looking over to a grinning Kritz.
Grabbing him by the neck, Kritz easily raises Loid above the ground.
Gasp!
"Help... me... Gad!" Loid calls out, his hand outstretched to an equally surprised Gad watching the two.
Kritz scoffs, his red eyes glowing with a scary nk expression, tilting his head as he tightens his grip on Loid''s neck.
''Pointless!'' He shook his head, Choosing to go with a different route.
Channeling Sux through his palm and onto Loid''s face, he observes it heal till it looked as though nothing had happened.
Thud!
Letting go of Loid, he turns around to face Gad who stands frozen by the sudden disy of aggressiveness.
Cough!
Cough!
Loid had his hand reaching and feeling his face to confirm if it was true or if he was merely dreaming.
"There is no way you could be dreaming with your eyes opened." Kritz''s chilly voice cut in almost as though he could hear Loid''s thoughts.
Stiffly raising his head, Loid stares at Kritz''s back, unsure as to why he was attacked.
"Loid," Kritz begins, wiping down his face, for once not breaking eye contact with Gad.
Loid scurries to his feet, slightly scared about the repercussion of his silence if he didn''t respond.
Loid''s response breaks off, "I..."
The corner of Kritz''s lips raises as he turns to lock gaze with Loid. "When I had attacked you, who was the first that came to your thoughts to call out?"
A cold sweat trails down Loid''s forehead as his eyes search the floor, knowing the direction of the discussion.
"Gad." He quickly responds, looking over to his distraught and confused friend.
"That''s right," Kritz nods his head. "What had we discussed on the way here?"
Loid''s heart thumps even louder at the recollection of the answer to the question.
The quiet atmosphere had Gad give what he was hearing a thought, ''they had discussed me before arriving?''
"Do not make Gad feel he''s worthless and suspicious!" Loid blurts out, and disappointment washes over him.
Kritz had a twisted smile, "I have lots of things that I could have done, yet I chose to have a drink with sheep brain, here..."
Pointing at Gad, he had a warm smile as he looked at the one he had considered a friend¨Che was one of the few individuals that had little to no fear of his status or who he was.
Gad swiftly dodges the point, shaking his head with a smile.
Dropping his hand to his side, Kritz pokes at Loid''s chest. "Guess why I didn''t kill you."
Loid looked mortified, realizing he had merely been spared because of something he was yet to think of the true reason.
"I have no clue." Gad let out his thoughts timidly.
"The two of you have maintained a friendship even though I think I can''t achieve it," Kritz reveals.
Then he continues, "how would Gad feel if I had killed you? You are one of our guards, I can''t¨Cat least not while you haven''t gone rogue."
To lighten the dark vibes created, Gad let out a heavily monotonousugh. "Let''s talk about how I feel about that blood stain on my wall."
Kritz waved his hand and his Sux coated the wall, erasing any sign of blood marks on it.
"How about now?" Kritz inquiries once more.
Blinking and short of words, Gad looks to Loid for his response to the previous question posed to him.
''I had tried, but failed.''
Quick to understand he was the one who had to speak, he blurts out the possible answer. "He''d be devastated."
Kritz nodded his head, "he only will be if you maintain that which I had noticed since that rainy day."
Nodding his head, Loid looks at Gad with tears in his eyes. "I do apologize if I sounded as though I didn''t care."
Gad nods his head, walking to Loid for a hug. "It''s alright, really."
Looking at Kritz, Gad had a warm smile.
Pulling away, Loid looks to Kritz. "Could we have that drink you had nned?"
Kritz''s lips curved into a smile.
*****
The next day¨CHisha''s room,
A little whisper from Alta into the ear of Hisha, she blew onto his hair. "Wake up, darling!"
Hisha turns, ignoring the call, thinking it is nothing more than his fantasy ying tricks on him.
[Exp+5]
Hisha''s eyes jolted awake, pushing to the headboard.
''What in the actual fuck?!!! HTC!!!'' Hisha yells in a panic.
His heart thumped hard at the sight of a naked Alta in his bed.
[She had sneaked in a few minutes ago, there was nothing done]
''I know! This isn''t cool, HTC!'' Hisha exins, switching his gaze from the user interface and Alta.
Alta presses her breasts together, crawling towards him.
"It''s been a while, darling." Alta''s sultry voice serenades his hearing.
[Exp+7]
''My precious Sux!'' Hisha grimaced at the thought of the setbacks her desire points gave him.
[It is only reasonable she sought you out, after what seems like ages for a subus]
Alta licks her lips as she ces her head on his. "I heard we are going to that dreadful ce again, soon."
''But you derive joy from killing as much as you love sex. Now isn''t the time for second thoughts.'' Hisha''s brows twitch in disbelief.
[You are concerned about your raw carnage points, aren''t you?]
''Obviously.''
Opening his arms wide for a hug, he was tackled onto the bed.
Hisha''s brows raise at the possible action Alta wants to initiate.
His hands were pinned above his head.
The urge to tease had the corner of his lips raise as he questioned, "what do you n on doing with so little time?"
Leaning over, she presses her breasts onto his while cing her chin on his chest.
She raises her head, staring at his nipples at first. Lowering her lips onto it, she gives them a few kisses, as she makes her up down from his chest and neck to his mouth.
As she continues kissing him, he tries to avoid the kiss by moving his face around her lips.
"It doesn''t work like that, darling." She whispers in his ear, lightly pulling on his nipple.
[Fetish: Nipple stimtion]
She doesn''t let up though, and she dips her hand into his pants, stroking him until he is forced to open his mouth for her tongue.
As they continue their kiss, she begins to ce more pressure on his thighs with hers and feels how hard he is getting for her.
"You''re getting so big," she says between kisses, as she lowers herself down until she''s straddling his hips.
Chapter 159 Tell Me How You Feel ?
[R18]
*****
"Alta, it''s not toote to back down." Hisha masks his lustful tendency with a chuckle.
"Why would I want to?" Alta replies with a smirk, opening her mouth as she uses her tongue to make a swirl pattern on Hisha''s nipples.
Hisha can feel himself growing harder under her touch but still struggles to maintain control of the situation. "You need to get off, we could always do this..."
Bucking her hips, Alta sits upright and looks directly into his eyes. "I know you want me to get off, but I''m also horny right now. Let''s make use of the moment and fuck like animals. We''ll do whatever we want before you leave."
"Wait... what did you just say?" Hisha asks, trying to keep calm amidst augh trying to escape.
"Let''s just begin quickly and we won''t have any limits, okay? No one will be able to tell us anything or stop us."
''Can anyone stop me is the bigger question?''
Pulling down his pants in one swift, Alta gasps to see his thick cock spring out.
At that moment, she makes a decision, not wanting to waste another second thinking about it.
Her hands move to hold his throbbing member, squeezing it gently while staring deep into Hisha''s eyes.
Hisha throws his head back, relishing in the fleeting moment of the one person who could steer up so much desire in him.
She then moves forward and leans her torso until she''s resting on his stomach. With her feet on either side of his crotch, Alta takes a deep breath as she gets ready to take him inside.
"Are you sure about this?" he asks, pulling her hair back behind her ears.
"Yes," Alta replies, looking at the tip of his cock.
Reaching out with both hands, Hisha cups her ass cheeks and pulls her closer to his manhood.
Holding his shaft in one hand, he ces the other on her hip, guiding her down until the head of his cock touches her cunt lips.
Their eyes lock once again as Alta slowly drops down onto Hisha''s cock.
Thrust!
"Oh my god!" Alta cries, feeling his cock stretch her cunt.
Gripping the sheets tight, Hisha grunts and holds on to Alta''s waist as he drives his cock deeper inside her body.
Pp!
The sound of Alta''s cunt tightening around his cock sends a wave of pleasure through Hisha.
[Exp+7]
"Fuck, I love the way you do that," he moans, thrusting faster.
Pp!
Pp!
"Don''t stop, please don''t stop," Alta begs, grinding her hips into Hisha''s.
Thrusting his hips up, Hisha reaches around and grabs her breast, pinching her nipple between his fingers. He then wraps his arms around her and brings them together, grabbing each of her ass cheeks with his palms.
His cock is buried inside her cunt with every thrust, and Alta''s wetness has made it easy for him to thrust faster.
With her legs wrapped around his waist, Alta''s long hair falls over her back, covering her shoulders as she rides his cock.
~Mmmm yes!!!
She screams in ecstasy as Hisha fucks her hard, mming into her from beneath.
Every time she feels him start to enter her again, she pushes herself back against him, grinding her hips into him.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Alta cries out, riding him with everything she''s got.
The bed creaks and the springs pop as Alta pounds Hisha''s cock with all of her might.
~Faster!! Faster!!! Fukkk!!
Pp!
Pp!
Knock!
Knock!
They both freeze, listening intently for the knock toe again.
After a few seconds, they hear the knock once again.
"It is I, Kritz, my lord." His timid voice speaks from the door.
[Ooooo a little bit of cockblock!]
HTC teases with aughing emoji.
Hisha internally facepalms as to the thought of what he was meant to do.
He was almost certain that the rest might have been in the arena or he was being reminded before the set time.
"Lord Hisha, the tribal heads and the harem would soon arrive in about an hour." Kritz rys.
Thinking with a smirk, Hisha finds a newfound zeal to continue. ''Enough time for me to finish up with this!''
Alta smirks as she slowly bucks on his cock, enjoying the feeling of fullness she''s experiencing.
Leaning closer to Hisha''s ear, she whispers, "We can''t stop now, can we?"
''How bold you are!'' Hisha thought to himself.
"No," he answers in a whisper, continuing to pound her cunt with his cock.
"Give me a few minutes, I will be out shortly!" He exins in between pants and grunts.
Having his hand on the door, Kritz had a smirk on his lips, having his guesses on what could be going on behind the closed door.
''I''m d he has recovered after that incident.''
Nodding his head in understanding, his mind was at ease knowing this side of his lord was much more soothing than that of an angered one.
[Charm+5]
Once the footsteps were distant, Hisha returned his attention to Alta, who had her head thrown back, moaning loudly.
"Do you want me to stop?" He teases, holding her hips.
"No," she moans, panting hard.
"Then don''t," he growls, mming his cock into her.
Alta gasps in bliss, feeling every inch of Hisha''s cock entering her.
He grabs the back of her neck, forcing her to look into his eyes.
"How do you feel?" He asks.
She looks away with her cheeks flushed, unable to answer.
"Say it," he demands, harshly thrusting into her.
If there was one thing he needed to know, it was if she was merely using him for her pleasure.
"I-I..." she starts to say, but he cuts her off by mming his cock into her again and again.
"Tell me how you feel," hemands.
"F-feel," she responds, gasping.
"Good?" Hisha asks.
"Yesssss!!" she yells out.
"Would you always be loyal to me?" he asks, causing her to nod.
Pulling out his cock, he holds her hips to prevent her from sitting and riding on him.
He watches with a smile as she tries to put it back in herself.
''If only it were that easy.'' Hisha lets out a low chuckle.
Needing her desperate response, he would use it in the future topare with her sober one.
Switching nces from her dripping cunt and Hisha''s erect cock, her breathing increases, causing her desperate response, "always."
''Perfect!''
"And will you follow my orders?" He continues further, testing her patience.
Although he has seen her fulfill this part dutifully after gaining her submission, he needed some sort of confirmation once more.
"Yesssss," she cries out, trying again at stroking the tip of her cock.
Hearing this, Hisha smiles and thrust his cock once more. "Just what I like to hear."
*****
25 minutester,
Huff!
Huff!
His cock pops out of her as Alta passes out from the intensity and excitement.
''Was I too hard on her?'' He wonders.
[You''ve improved greatly over time, host]
Hisha''s ego intes with the little praise from his system.
~Mmmm
Alta moans while sleeping on him.
''For a demoness, you sleep like an angel.'' Hisha strokes her hair with a sweet smile.
A light spasm rocks Alta''s body which reverberates onto his.
Looking down at her naked body, he realizes that he is still hard. His cock rested behind her butt cheeks.
His mind races, and he decides to try something different.
He puts his cock back inside her cunt, and thrusts in her with reckless abandon while she''s still passed out.
The suddenness catches Alta off guard, but she soon adapts and starts moaning and writhing.
[Would you like to nt your seed]
[Yes/No]
''When I want to ''nt'' it, I will notify you, HTC.''
After several minutes of this, he grunts, pulling her closer as he can''t take it any longer. He quickly pumps his semen into her womb, causing her to cry out in pleasure.
Alta nks out once more, light spasms going through her body.
''She was the one who said we should fuck like anima¨C'' Hisha pauses to take augh at recalling her words.
With the number of times she had orgasmed, he hoped this could make you for the numerous opportunities missed.
Cradling her in his arms, he walks to the bathroom and whispers into her ear. "We wouldn''t want you all sticky and sleepy when you get into the arena."

[Harem: 6193]
"Loe Dri wins the third round!" Kritz announces in a loud voice.
Retracting her ws, Loe let out a scream of victory, raising her fisted hands in the air.
|Raw carnage level~26% +6%|
[Death¡Á6]
Hisha let out a disappointed sigh, seeing it was merely a 1% for each death of his harem during the duels that Loe had participated in.
[What''s wrong, host?]
''Even the book considers their death as cannon fodder!'' Hisha let out a chuckle.
Sigh!
[Duel: 4]
[Number of possible harems participating: 28]
[Victories: 3]
[Points umted during the tournament: 15000]
There was a brief silence as they all awaited the next pick from the cup.
Draegul dips his hand into the hovering silver cup, and pulls out seven pieces of paper, handing it over to Kritz.
"Palmyra Nottley, Ine Tindall, Joslin Swale, Macy Lea, Althea Marlowe, Surie Holt, Silvia Fisc," Kritz announces.
''More and more strange names.'' Hisha wipes down his face, shaking his head.
[How many do you personally remember?]
HTC teases its host with a smirking emoji.
''Let''s not go down thatne, HTC.''
If he could choose between their floating meretrix code name and their names, he would dly go with code names.
[There must be a reason you wouldn''t wish to know, host]
''What is the need, if the majority are going to die anyways? I refuse to get emotionally attached to those who are weak inparison to others.''
[...]
Leaning his cheeks on his palm, Hisha observes the new set ofdiespeting.
[You''ve gotten rather cold over the past few months.
Do note, I am notining, it makes you think more rationally and it''s a good thing]
''I care about those I have formed a bond with and those who have managed to strike a chord with me.''
Rolling his eyes, he looks over to Mich and Wae, they had been eerily quiet and made no move to get on his nerves.
''The blood contract is doing wonders!'' Hisha jokes to elevate his bad mood.
His concentration was drawn back to thedies below.
Ine''s face looked like she was going to cry. She didn''t want to fight anyone else because she knew that they were strong enough to beat her easily¨Cgiven her Dhampir characteristics.
But the only way for them to win is if they fought each other.
Her ck hair tumbled down her back, with a few strands dancing in the wind. Her red eyes stared straight ahead, as though looking at something she could not see.
Jumping a few times on her feet, she took a deep breath and turned around to look at everyone surrounding her.
She had finally made up her mind. It was now or never.
"Five strikes and that was it." She reminds herself, trying to push away the fear creeping inside her mind.
''This is myst chance to prove myself,'' she thought, clenching her wrapped fingers.
Dispersing, all seven took their positions on a makeshift circr wooden tform.
Joslin stood next to two other girls¨CPalmyra and Silvia. They were wearing helmets with a small mesh to peer through.
Given the condition they were faced with, those with body armor were given only two strikes they were allowed to sustain to either be dead or out.
However, there were three otherdies without any protection on their bodies.
One of them was Althea, who was wearing shorts and a tank top. She had trained under the same instructors as her sister who cheered among the others, but shecked the endurance needed topete against the other contestants.
Macy Lea, the girl standing right beside her, was very well-built and had long blonde hair tied in a ponytail. She wore a green knee-length skirt and a ck tunic.
Thest contestant was Surie Holt who stood behind the other three. Unlike the others, she had thick, dark silver armor which she wore like a crop top directly under her bust and arms.
The armor had strange markings drawn on them with two sapphire stones embedded in the arms of her armor. Which also matches the sapphire stone in the brown belt of her shorts.
Her armor and calmness posed a threat to all as they couldn''t identify what could be the significance of such little body armor.
Her long white hair blew in the breeze, her glowing yellow eyes narrowed as she focused on her two targets¨CPalmyra, Joslin and Silvia who wore body armor.
If she could start with them with just a two-strike hit, it would be easier to take down thepetition.
Seeing their opponents, Palmyra gives a smirk directed at Surie.
"What''s wrong?" She asks, slightly raising an eyebrow. "Don''t you think I''m good enough to defeat you?"
Whoosh!
Covering the distance between them in a blink of an eye, Surie grabs a hold of Palmyra''s neck.
Gasp!
The rest all stare in shock as the wind blows on them at the speed used by Surie.
Hisha''s attention was instantly won over as he was the only one who could get a clear glimpse of how Surie moved.
''HTC, character status!'' He orders with a grin, leaning forward to have clearer visuals.
[Name: Surie Holt]
[Height: 171cm]
[Position: epnir¨CSafah princess]
''That would exin the golden tiara on her head.'' Hisha jokes.
He had wondered why thisdy was one of the first to wear such ornaments to a tournament.
Given her tribe''s name, that was of great importance. Corking a brow in question as he asks, ''what are those?''
[epnir are a mystic horse tribe that possesses super-strength, speed, durability, and endurance. They also possess the ability to fly, and have a running speed of up to light speed once they have fully evolved]
Hisha''s grin only broadens at the information. This was going to be a lot more interesting than he had realized.
Surie tilts her head, blowing on the dust that rose in the air.
''I must have used more speed than intended.'' She thought with a sigh.
"I don''t care how good you are," Surie growls. "But if you aren''t fast enough, then it''s your loss!"
Palmyra''s eyes bulge in shock at being held and raised above the ground with rtive ease.
This made her understand that it would be to her detriment if she would get two strikes from her opponent.
Palmyra tried to throw her off with a kick to her stomach to secure a strike, but Surie held onto her neck tightly, choking the air out of her.
Raising her hand, she brings it down hard on the top of Palmyra''s leg.
Ccrk!
"I''d let you watch!" Surie hisses as she lets go of Palmyra''s neck.
Thud!
With the heightened pain receptors, Palmyra grunts in pain as she falls to the ground, screaming in terror from the broken and bleeding leg.
Whoosh
Running towards Silvia who was engaging Joslin.
Silvia raises her armored hand to block Surie''s attack but is pushed aside.
Joslin was holding her sword, swinging it wildly to keep the twodies away from her.
Surie gives a roundhouse kick, destroying the de with a hit.
''This won''t work!'' Joslin thinks in a panic.
Doing several backflips, Joslin avoids any contact with the two as she sticks to the walls, waiting out what Surie ns on doing with Silvia.
Before Silvia could evennd a hit in retaliation, Surie kicked the back of her head and sent her flying across the arena,nding t on her back.
|Raw carnage level~32%+5%|
[Destruction]
Draegul watches in amazement as Silvia''s body twitches for a while before settling and falling.
Before she could make a collision with the floor, Surie raises her leg to give a hard kick.
Boom!

Joslin blew on the air as the cloud of dust rose once more.
Cough!

Once it had settled, her eyes bulged in shock at what she witnessed.

Chapter 161 Main Rule Dismissed
A dismembered Silviay in her blood with her eyes wide before her death.
|Raw carnage level~37%+1%|
[Death]
Covering her mouth to muffle a scream. To her dismay, the moment she blinked, she felt a tug at her ankle.
Joslin''s surroundings went dark and silence filled her ears.
Opening her eyes, she saw that she had lost her bnce and had fallen to the ground.
''Oh no! The first strike!'' She thought in a panic, hurriedly getting to her feet.
She couldn''t believe what just happened in a matter of seconds.
Pulling off the helmet, her red hair swayed from side to side in the wind, her brown eyes staring straight at Surie.
She wasn''t sure what she was doing, but she couldn''t help but feel a sense of danger surrounding Surie''s silence.
[5000 points acquired]
[Harem: 6191]
|Raw carnage level~38%+10%|
[Gore]
''Huh?!'' Hisha wonders at the sound information disyed.
Whipping his head to the possible cause of the death of another opponent. They had been so caught up with Surie that they had forgotten about the rest.
A sword lodged in Macy''s chest as she reaches out, "help me..."
Her skin turns gray and she turns to her side covered in blood with a two-fang mark on her neck.
Ine pushes back, her mouth covered in blood with it trailing down her jaw. Her hands tremble at the thought of what she had done.
Her brows furrow as she sees a shadow cast over her and closing in on her.
"What in the-"
Boom!
Althea brought her hand down, with it being a boulder.
It crashed down on top of Ine, crushing her to the ground.
[5000 points acquired]
[Harem: 6190]
|Raw carnage level~48%+1%|
[Death]
There was a collective wince from the crowd watching as they watched her body twitch.
Althea pulls her hand away causing the boulder to disintegrate into dust, her eyes staring at the remains of Ine.
"Weak!" Althea sneers.
Surie fumes as she stares at the dead bodies of the others. She had nned on giving them epic ends, not some swift deaths that made little to no meaning.
Palmyra shakes her head, knowing she could be any of thedies'' next targets.
All that was needed was another strike and thinking of any of thedies present or the injury that wouldn''t stop bleeding, it would be far from being ''out''.
Joslin utilizes the opportunity of Surie''s distraction, crawling towards her sword.
Throwing her sword straight into the air, she maniptes its movement as she bonds with the sword.
Shluk!
Thrusting and impaling Palmyra''s neck.
The red de stabs cleanly through the back of her neck, spilling blood.
Pulling out, the de falls to the ground, casting her out of its hold.
Joslin falls to the ground as she watches blood spurt from Palmyra''s neck as she staggers back.
Palmyra''s body twitches uncontrobly, convulsing and sumbing to her death.

[Gore]
''It isn''t about strikes anymore.'' Hisha chuckles with pleasure. It looked more like a battle to the death¨Cas it should be.
[This is how the tournament has been, host]
''Some were weak-willed.'' Hisha scoffs, rolling his eyes at the thought.
[Just like you were at the start, right, host?]
Wiping down his face, Hisha forces a smile, looking to his side and at his tribal chiefs.
The look of anticipation, longing for the thrill, and picking out their best reminded him so much of the times he had ced bets on some matches while on earth.
"I choose Surie." Vanas cackles, throwing his hands behind his head with a cocky smile.
Draegul nods his head in agreement with a grunt.
Wae''s lips drew into a thin line, unsure of the possibility because of the missing harem member.
Pointing at the floor, he exins something shocking they had not realized.
"Have you all cared to reason where Althea is?"
Mich leans forward, suddenly intrigued by the discovery the majority had missed.
To the others, Althea seems to be one of those dead or dismembered, but the real truth was far from that.
"She''s hidden!" Waeughs, pulling on Aster to get the reason for his suspicion.
With the thought of what had transpired a day ago with Hisha, he had much more things to think of than thedies at each other''s throats.
The book he had reluctantly let go of was of much importance.
If he could get the book and test out his built-up raw carnage, he hopes to get positive results.
Nudging him in the side, Wae makes pouting lips while wiggling his brows to make things a lot worse.
''Fuck you! You consider this as some sort of y, but do you know what this means for us?''
Wae seemed not to care about the re shot his way, grabbing onto Aster''s arm and proceeding to tease. "My my, what big arms you got there!"
"Wae, did you have something strong beforeing here?"
Countering immediately, "since when have I ever gotten something stronger than mine?"
Aster grimaced at the double meaning of his words, shaking his head at how lightheaded it was taken.
Rolling his eyes, Aster shoves Wae off his arm, sneering in disgust. "How about you keep your hands to yourself?"
"Tch-"
Wae shook his head, clicking his tongue. "You''re no fun, you beast!"
Aster clenched his hands, trying his best to keep his mood in check as he looked over to Hisha.
Leaning back in his chair, he had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he had his steepled fingers and elbows on his thighs.
''This should be fun!''
Surie had a wicked grin on her lips as she made her way toward Joslin, "you must have thought you''d get some points for that."
As she approached her, she raised her arms, "but I''m afraid you just made yourself a bigger target for my tactics. What do you say?"
Joslin looks around, seeing the otherdies dead, but Althea somewhat hiding probably beneath the ground.
''What can I do?'' She thinks frantically to herself, pushing back with her hand.
She could feel a tremor from beneath and could tell it had something to do with Althea.
However, she realizes that there is one thing she can try, but it would mean putting her life on the line.
Patting on the floor, she felt a mirrored pat back from Althea underneath.
Switching nces from the floor and Surie''s expression, she tries to think of something to say and dy Althea''s approach.
[Something isn''t right, host!]
Hisha sits upright immediately, also sensing some sort of foul y.
''They are partnering, it''s clearly against the rules that I had set!'' Hisha punches the armrest in anticipation of the two to reveal their ns.
[It''s only a matter of time, host]
"I''ll give you the chance to surrender and ept yourst strike," Surie smirks, "or else I will take your life."
Joslin grunts in anger as she looks Surie straight in the eye, "fine, but only if you promise me that we die together."
Brrrrrrrmmmmm!!!!
Surie tilts her head, stumbling back as she realizes what Joslin meant.
The ground shook violently causing Surie to fall to the ground as the trembles continued.
With the intense tremors, it was a struggle to get to her feet to run.
"W-what is this?!" She yells out in surprise, keeping her heels grounded and her hands spread out to bnce herself.
Springing out of the ground, Althea''s fist ms into Surie''s stomach.
"Ugh..." Surie grunted as she fell to the ground, crouching and clutching her stomach.
She repeatedly curses at their pain sensitivity heightened, if it weren''t for it, she wouldn''t have reacted so badly with that weak hit.
''One strike!'' Althea thought with a smirk, looking behind her and at Joslin who gave a nod of approval for their next task.
[Warning! Rule dismissed]
Hisha drums his hand on his armrest, antipathy seething off him as he waits it out for it to be more ring than it already was.
''Just a little more, let them have a sense of aplishment.''
Kritz was the first to sense something wrong with his lord, feeling he was thinking in the same line as he did.
The rule is being broken and there was no one, even the tribal chiefs speaking on it.

Chapter 162 Limited Time To Drain Her
Locking eyes with Hisha, he was given the warning to keep quiet and watch just like he is.
Gulp!
Kritz didn''t like where this was going but could only nod in a forced understanding of the situation.
[Charm+5]
Hisha scoffs as he watches the duel below.
Surie pushes off the crumbled boulder that had almost crushed her.
At the right moment, she had pushed her legs into overdrive, kicking at top speed to destroy a majority of the boulder that had beenunched at her.
To her dismay, because of the slight pain she still felt in her stomach, she groans in pain.
Shaking her head, she wipes the dirt off her face. Getting to her feet only barely but tripping from the raised terrain created by Althea.
With her ability not fully evolved, Surie''s flight had not been attained to counter the turbulent terrain.
Her legs were still trying to adapt to the pressure that had been put on them.
In regret, she res at Althea, wishing she had targeted her first instead of going for the weak ones who had been easily killed off aside from Joslin who cackles at the thought of watching them both duel to the death.
Althea had her eyes glowing in mischief, her head raised proudly at finally gaining control of the situation, causing the floor to shake a lot more violently.
The harem watching all had their areas covered by Hisha''s shield to stabilize the terrain surrounding the arena.
The tribal chiefs were made to fend for themselves as always.
They held onto their armrest, gritting their teeth to the slight ache they feel from the shake of their whole body.
Mich cowers over, nearly puking from the disturbance.
The only one who had been grounded was Draegul who slouched on his chair, disappointment written on his face, leaning on his arm and yawning.
Kritz stood firmly while standing, his face grim as he watched, it was only a matter of time before Hisha''s anger would ze.
''HTC, do you know what''s worse?'' Hisha chuckles in his thoughts, biting down on his bottom lips.
[You are here watching the duel when you could be performing in one lustful act or another?]
Closing his eyes, Hisha''s lips drew into a thin line at the tease from his system. ''You never fail to put that in, do you?''
[I shoot my shot while I can, host]
''I can''t freaking kill these defaulters!'' Hisha snarls as his murderous gaze is fixated on Joslin and Althea.
[Woah! Host. Calm your nerves, they are part of your harem]
''So were the ones who had died since the beginning of the tournament.'' Hisha snaps, rolling his eyes.
His breathing ragged as he tried to calm himself.
While the other tribal chiefs watched on in horror, they could feel some sort of dangerous aura radiating from Hisha as he watched thedies.
From what Kritz could see, his lord''s eyes were glowing like a fire burning bright.
Leaning towards Aster, Wae whispers from the corner of his lips. "Did we do that? Are we too loud?"
"You''re nosy, yes I know that! Fuck off!" Aster snapped, looking the other way, hoping to avoid any more discussion.
*****
''I won''t let her take her first kill,'' Althea thought as she readied herself.
Flicking her hair, she creates a boulder three times the size of her body and throws it at Surie.
Boom!
A collection gasp was made as they could only imagine this sort of action done to Ine at the time.
"Would she survive?"
"Isn''t she meant to be super fast?"
"Do we have a winner or some sort of timer?"
The sidements from some harem members had Hisha wonder where their prioritiesy.
''That should leave her stunned for a bit.'' Althea thought, grinning at the thought of a better fighting chance.
Picking up Joslin''s sword, she drags it along the ground as she prepares for the attack on Surie to be sure she is dead from the impact.
Joslin rejoices as Althea advances on Surie.
Surie pulls and crawls out of the rubble, surviving thanks to her body armor. "You won''t get another chance to personally strike me, you coward!"
Althea''s brows twitch from the usation, holding the double-edged sword in a reverse grip. "You asked for it!"
All she needed was three more strikes to be victorious, but even with that, she would dly take no chances and finish her off instead.
Joslin gets to her feet, limping and having a wicked smirk on her face. Once Althea was done with Surie, she would maneuver the situation to have the sword stab Althea.
nk!
Althea stood frozen in ce, her hand forced back.
rk!
Joslin stops in her tracks, witnessing the horror in Althea''s eyes.
All attention was drawn to the one person who could do this to thema€¡°Hisha.
They all whip their heads in his direction.
It was at that moment they realized the death re that had been shot at the duo.
His green eyes glow with raging fury at the disobedience.
Getting to his feet, he raises his head high in pride as he looks down at Althea.
"You broke the rule." Hisha''s chilly voice broke the silence.
His hands in his pocket, he shakes his head in disappointment.
"Althea Marlowe has been disqualified," Kritz announced before she could defend her actions.
''Noooooo!!'' Althea screams in her thoughts as she feels her body stiffen more than it already was, before being levitated by Hisha.
Making a beckoning gesture, Hisha pulled her in his direction.
Holding her in a choking grab, his cold murderous stare drained the color out of her.
Sneering, he speaks in a whisper, "you deserve not to be in my presence if you can''t take simple instructions well."
Her eyes also glowed until she went limp and passed out.
Her head lowered from the mental impact.
Hisha let go of her body without looking down at her.
[1 unmarked]
[Harem: 6188]
Joslin gasped at what had transpired, taking several steps back, scared she might be the next target.
Nodding to Kritz, he watches him lift Althea onto his arm, throwing her down to the arena.
Thud!
Her head bled as she tumbles to the floor from the impact.
Blood and dirt cover her up.
"I need five vampires!" Hisha announces, raising his palm for emphasis.
There were murmurs as to why Hisha had requested them from the rest even though the tournament was on.
Vanas switched gazes from Hisha to thedies who reluctantly came out on Hisha''s request, looking over to their tribal chief with worry.
Joslin gulped, her eyes widening at the true intent of the request. She took a nce at Surie who was slowly recovering from the impact.
"You had all maintained your bestial and instinctual tendencies..." Hisha begins, ncing through the five standing and awaiting his order.
"...You have five minutes to drain all of her blood, leaving nothing but bones and flesh," Hisha stated, pointing to Althea who was now in her bedroll, passed out from the concussion.
[Host, isn''t that a little...]
''The better they see the consequences of their actions, the better it is for me to maintain order among them.'' Hisha replies with a grim look cast on Joslin.
Horrified by the verdict, Joslin drops to her knees, shaking her head and refusing to be the reason for such a harsh verdict.
If they were to suck Althea dry, there was no telling why she wouldn''t be the next victim of something much worse.
Hesitant at first, the vampires stood over the body of Althea, crouching and following each other''s lead.
Joslin''s eyes widened in shock as well as the harem''s at the sight.
Their jaws open wide and a few of them pause, their fangs sinking into Althea''s pale flesh.
One by one, their fangs sink into the soft flesh of her neck, chest, arm, and thighs. Sucking out every drop of blood.
Joslin had turned an unhealthy shade of green at the sight of the vampires draining Althea to the veryst drop.
Her face was saggy around the outlines of her bones, sockets sunken deep. A shadow of the once beautifuldy.
The scent of her blood filled their nostrils, causing them to whine and lick the blood off their lips.
Draining her to thest drop of blood, the vampires quickly moved away from her body as they continued to savor the sweet nectar.
|Raw carnage level~59%+10%|
[Gore]
Chapter 163 Increase The Pain Sensitivity!
[Host, that''s a whole level of...]
''Any who defies me will suffer a worse fate at the hands of who I deem fit! If I can''t do it, well someone else can.''
With a proud smirk, Hisha looks down at Joslin with contempt.
Although he could already see how far thepetition is headed, he needed to witness her beg till herst breath.
''She and Althea will be an example to the rest!''
Joslin shook her head, trying to deny what she witnessed.
Vanas licks his lips, wishing he had been the one given the opportunity. ''She isn''t part of his harem anymore, I should have been the one to do that!''
"You may return." Hisha orders with a nod of approval.
Wiping off the blood from their lips, they went back to join the others.
There was a collective gasp from the rest who had previously sat close to the five.
Turning his attention towards the arena once more, Hisha''s voice booms, "Surie..."
Surie shook off the dizzy spell, flicking off the dirt on her body and looking over toward Hisha.
"My lord..." She gives a bow, ring to her side and at Joslin.
Flinching, Joslin has second thoughts on what was meant to be done
"You two will have a revoke on the strikes you might have sustained during the duel, that wouldn''t be needed for this round..."
Surie''s grin only increases as she maintains her re at Joslin with the best revenge n she could think of in the short time frame.
''This should be grand!''
"Pain sensitivity will be lowered and the death dyed till there is little to no body part left to scream out in pain!" Hisha finalizes with his hands clenched.
[Pain sensitivity decreased]
"No!" Joslin shrieks, falling to her knees while pleading for mercy.
Hisha jumps down, walking closer to Joslin, he grabs her chin and turns her face to look at him.
Looking at her with a smile, his face darkens, "you will do as you are told. If you don''t, then I will make sure you never see the sunrise again. Do you understand?"
Joslin''s face falls at the statement, her hand clenching on the dirt.
Turning around, he gives a nod at Surie.
Teleporting towards his high rise, he sits back on his throne with a wry smile.
The tribal chiefs looks to their lord in astonishment, it was far from the person they had all known.
"Are we safe?" Vanas whispers to Wae.
Wae stares ahead, unable to speak out of fear.
Scoffing, Vanas looks over to Draegul for some confirmation, but just like Wae, he was silent at first before mumbling a few words.
"Be careful what you say, dimwit!" Draegul hisses as he looks over to Vanas.
Hisha wasn''t the same immortal they had known years ago.
Refusing to waste another moment talking with him, Draegul''s cor spikes up, covering the side of his face.
Vanas leans over to Wae once more and whispers, "what the heck is wrong with all of you?"
Wae stiffly turns his head to Vanas, "if his harem isn''t safe even with him once they defy him, what happens to you¨Cus?"
Vanas takes a glimpse of the rest who had adjusted their positions in their seat and stays silent.
''We are all doomed, huh?''
"Get on his good side and hope for the best," Wae exins with a sigh.
*****
"We''re down to who is left standing with body parts intact, Joslin." Surie mocks and wiggles her brows.
Walking circles around a crouched Joslin, Surie covers up the distance between them in a blink of an eye and kicks her hard on the stomach.
Joslin doubled over, coughing up blood as she crashes into a wall.
|Raw carnage level~69%+5%|
[Destruction]
"You had your chance, now you pay for that stunt you pulled!" Surie snarls as she charges forward.
Lifting her leg, Surie brings it down with a powerful kick to Joslin''s face.
Joslin fell t on her back, spitting out blood and trying to catch her breath.
Gasp!
Gasp!
[Is this even a fair fight, host?]
Hisha raises a brow, ''at this moment, all I care about is my carnage points.''
[Thought as much, host]
Joslin tries to crawl away when Suriees running toward her.
"Get back!" She screams at Surie, calling for her sword.
Swchp!
Grabbing it at the dire minute, Surie lets out a scream in pain, the sword cutting through her hand as it exerts more pressure.
''Fuck! This hurts!''
Channeling all willpower as she holds back the sword with one hand, she grits her teeth at the sight of her finger slowly splitting.
Raising the other to make a strike with her elbow.
nk!
nk!
The sword breaks in half as her elbow connects with the middle of the sword.
Joslin coughs, shaking from the pain it caused her.
Her eyes brim with tears at the sight of her damaged sword. It felt as though a part of her was destroyed.
Her eyes only widen even more as she looks up at Surie, the sword in her hands.
"You just ruined my hand!" Surie hisses.
Joslin shakes her head, "My lord, please. I give up!"
Hisha lets out a cackled smile, looking over to the rest of his harem members.
Alta had a wicked grin, her hands clenched as she cheered on with grit teeth.
The enthusiasm was off the chart, cheering Surie to rip off the armor.
Sra leans back, letting out a sigh and azy smirk on her lips.
What was more intriguing was the fact that Pesa let out augh while conversing with the rest of the winners.
She looked carefree and less tense.
[Do you wish to return her abilities?]
''Although she has proven to be trustworthy for some while until I get much better proof, she seems to be doing fine.''
Instead, he brings back his attention to the fight.
Surie grits her teeth and pulls the de out from the side of her hand, tossing it aside.
"I must have given you false hopes, I''m sorry."
Knowing this wasn''t a heartfelt apology, nor was it an act ofpromise, Joslin crawls away, hoping to get to much better ground.
Grabbing her by the ankle, Surie tears at the armor on her legs.
"I need this off so I can chop off your fingers," Surie growls, grabbing a handful of metal with her bare hand and starting to pull.
If this could make up for her injury, she was willing to take it.
R-i-p!
A loud gasp could be heard with each rip of the metal.
"Just kill me!" Joslin yells out in desperation, her voice cracking with each word as she tries to struggle and kick at Surie.
Grabbing one of her legs, Surie warns, "if you try that one more time, then I will rip off your leg first!"
Joslin''s heart skips a beat at the threat, contemting which she prefers¨Cher fingers or her legs.
Surie yanks harder, her fingers digging into her skin, making Joslin grunt in pain.
"Ahhhh!" She screams out, crying profusely.
Surie finally gets the armor off, giving a triumphant smile. "My, my, you didn''t even bother wearing anything other than underwear."
Joslin tries her best to cover what she could of her body, shivering from her bloodied body.
Squatting beside her, Surie shakes her head. "You were weak from the start, that''s why you did that shit!"
Wasting hesitation, she steps down hard on her arm. "Lend me a hand."
''HTC, increase the pain sensitivity.''
[Are you sure, host?]
''I need to hear her scream, lowering it previously isn''t enough.'' Hishains, leaning on his arm.
[Pain sensitivity increased]
R-r-i-i-ip!!
Ripping off an arm, she watches with a wicked grin.
As Joslin screams in agony, Surieughs. "I can''t help but wonder if this is the effect of a ''wounded ego''."
Screaming out in pain, Joslin writhes and cries out as she tries to move away from her.
"Stop moving!" Surie snaps, stepping hard on Joslin''s stomach.
She could only roll away, grabbing onto her arm as she tries to stop the bleeding.
''It would seem she loves to kick and stomp a lot.'' Hisha jokes.
[As expected of a epnir]
"How are you going to defend yourself?" Surie mocks with a peal of crazedughter, ignoring the drip of blood from her arm.

Chapter 164 Tell Me You Saw Him Move
Picking up a broken piece of the sword, she went back to Joslin with a wicked grin.
Joslin had tried hard in escaping Surie''s approach, looking back at her approaching quietly.
Gasping for breath, she stiffly turns her head to the side at the pressure ced on her back.
Sitting on her, Surie pulls Joslin by the hair. Leaning forward for a whisper, she chuckles lightly, amused by her endurance.
Grimacing in pain at her hair being forcefully grabbed, she gnashed her teeth and chose to live out the pain.
She had known from the start that she wouldn''t live, not after what lord Hisha had said to her.
''In the end, I live to die an embarrassing death.'' She closes her eyes in despair, tears trailing down her eyes.
"How does it feel to die by your weapon?" Surie whispers.
Coughing before a response, Joslin grins. "I am not dead to know the feeling."
The markings on Surie''s armor glow as she channels more Sux that had been gathered from the battle and damage she had endured.
Slit!
The arena went silent at the strange and quick method that shed before they could register what was seen.
"W....haaaaaaa.....tttt?!" Ady from the crowd mumbles in a heavy slow inducing tone of voice, her blinking dragging on as she tries to get the point.
It didn''t seem to be the only case as the crowd burst into a dragged-on speech of confused uproar at the same disy.
Hisha unintentionally burst intoughter as he watched the others slow down from the charge of supercharged Sux affecting all around.
''It''s just like the movies! We got ourselves a female speedster!'' Hisha jokes in his head.
[A epnir''s evolved ability highly affects how long this techniquests.
For Surie, it onlysts for a minute and would deactivate leaving her vulnerable to any attack due to a massive drain in her Sux
Hisha nods his head in understanding, smiling at the fact that she had done so to prolong the deathlike experience of Joslin.
''Dead but still able to perceive all around you in a sense. Wow!'' Hisha deduces with another burst ofughter.
Looking around himself, reminded him of his time maniption and how well he could use it in severe situations to speak with HTC at length or slow down projectiles and calcte his situation.
''This is an unrefined version though, am I right?''
[That''s right, host. She hasn''t evolved enough to influence and stop stronger targets with higher Sux levels]
''That would exin slowing down everyone but not necessarily stopping like mine.'' Hisha exins, raising his chin with a proud smirk.
[Now you seem to enjoy this]
HTC deadpans, realizing the big leap in its host''s attitude.
''If I don''t enjoy it, what the heck would I do with a countless number of abilities at my disposal that I''m yet to figure out or use?''
Casting a stoic look at the interface, Hisha clicks his tongue and pulls his attention away from it.
ncing around, he has a wicked grin spread out at the slow movements of his tribal chiefs with an exception of Vanas and Draegul who were considered a bit faster than the rest.
Vanas holds his head, groaning at the disorientation caused by the distortion in time.
Draegul also looks to be visibly disturbed with a frown on his face.
The two were quick to look at Hisha who had a creepy grin their way, visibly shocking them as their hearts thumped at the reminder of the more beast-like ability of their overlord.
Gulp!
They looked away slowly, internally cursing at their luck, wondering what hade over them to go against the overlord.
''We must have been mad!'' Draegul and Vanas thought in unison.
More abilities were shown by their overlord that scared the shit out of them.
''How many abilities and counter ones does he have?'' Draegul thinks as he shifts ufortably in his seat.
Hisha tilts his head at the two, shaking it to warn them of their priorities, pointing at the arena.
Immediately, although slightly slower, theyplied with a nod and turned their attention to Surie internationally, pulling Joslin''s head away from her slit neck.
To his amusement, Kritz satid back unamused, and yawned at the slow actions around him.
''So... it''s only mine that can affect a Vandrik?''
[That is right, Surie doesn''t possess the level of speed currently of a Vandrik at their basic speed nor can she live up to it once a Vandrik also evolves]
Hisha internally facepalms, although this meant good for his assistant¨Csignifying he had such a good and strong backup beside him, but it also meant something he dreaded.
''This would also mean Yoru has and might be hiding more tricks up her sleeves.'' Hisha replies with a sigh of disappointment.
Realizing the part mistake in its analysis to reveal such a piece of information, HTC put up a sorry and teary-eyed emoji.
''No, no, it''s fine, at least I know a bit of my enemy from my closest pal.''
Hisha sat upright, an idea striking him, something he had never thought could have been the reason up until now.
[Ability: Time maniption]
All who had been able to move slowly were suspended in animation upon the override from Hisha''s time maniption.
Hisha grins in pride, ''that''s how it''s done.''
[Why did you put up time maniption?]
Shaking off the thoughts he had, he facepalms and directs his attention to Kritz.
Getting to his feet, he walks over to Kritz who sat suspended in his movement, staring with the same nk and expressionless face.
Waving his hand in front of Kritz to analyze his suspicions.
[...]
HTC put up a displeased and cursing emoji on the screen, annoyed it was ignored by Hisha.
''Stop being such a crybaby!'' Hisha rolls his eyes and scoffs at the attitude.
Walking around Kritz, he observes something slightly odd¨Cas soon as he goes out of the way, Kritz''s finger moves slightly.
Taking a step backward, Hisha unintentionally trips back and falls.
[What an embarrassing situation, it''s good that all can''t ''see'' due to making them be dolls at this point]
Groaning in pain, Hisha pulls himself up, dusting his pants where he could visibly reach on his back.
''Tell me you saw that.''
[See what, host? You falling or something a lot more interesting]
Clenching his fists, Hisha let out a yell in frustration. ''Why do I feel you''re avoiding the main topic, here?''
[Blink! Blink!]
Frowning at the unprecedented action of his system, he criticizes immediately. ''You could have just put up emojis!''
[I know]
cing a smirking emoji, HTC turns its attention to the issue at hand.
[Kritz moved]
''Ha! So you did see!'' Hisha points usingly at the interface, hissing and spitting in rage.
[...]
''What does that mean? The only time this had happened was with that Zorpha!''
Hisha ces about,bing through his hair with his fingers to ease out his frustrated mind.
[It''s a surprise you still remember Zorpha back during your ''adventure'']
''How the fuck could I forget the creature that defied my time maniption? That freaking thing was repulsive as fuck!'' Hisha cringes at the thought, wiping his mouth as though it left a bad taste in his mouth.
At the time he had not bothered thinking too much about the creature as he needed to pacify Kritz, but the more he thought about it, the more it hurt him for being partly stupid.
''You couldn''t identify that abomination because it wasn''t an identifiable race, but rather something manufactured.''
[You don''t mean...]
''It''s that freaking bitch again! Goddamnit! Why is this temptress such a pain in the groin?''
[Pain in the neck... ass...]
Hisha spits in disgust, ''I know what I said.''
His point wasn''t on that, but rather on what he had remembered the book warned him about, the reason it had spoken on her forbidden techniques.
''Those techniques! Where the hell did she get such knowledge?'' Hisha let out a sigh, shaking his head.
HTC''s voice took a drastic fall as it replied with its voice represented in a fluctuating spectrum on an eerie ck screen.
[Triad Unity]
Taken aback by the subtle reveal of some information and color of his user interface, Hisha blurts out, ''What?''
[Triad Unity was the only known secret organization that possessed such knowledge]
Hisha goes to his knees in pain at the mention of those words, holding onto his head.
"What the heck is going on?!!!" Hisha cries out, punching the floor in anger.

Chapter 165 Knocked Out
Getting a shback of a green symmetrical triangr ornament outlined in gold of three inteced arcs on a circle, he shook his head to get back to reality.
''What the hell was that?'' He questions, shaking from several shes of hooded figures surrounding the previous host.
To him, something wasn''t right with what he had seen, nor did he like the visions. The previous host was caught in something that seemed vague to him just like the previous memory about Dalsa.
[Until you''ve regained 70% of the original host''s memory, that information is outside your jurisdiction]
''Again? Wasn''t the information I had been given meant to be out of my jurisdiction?'' Hisha sarcastically questions with a raise of his brows.
The user interface switched back to its bright transparent blue and the upbeat voice of HTC returned.
[Those surface answers were all you''re entitled to, for now, host]
HTC put up a deadpan emoji.
Hisha could tell whatever the secret organization was, it had induced his system to go dark with the information¨Cthis could only mean it was more than dark news that was more dangerous than he expected.
All of this would have been a lot easier if he had not been restricted by the Celestials.
Making a strangting gesture in the air, "all that''s needed is to snap her sweet little neck from that banging body¨C"
Hisha facepalms at his words, clearly missing the point of his anger as his thoughts trail to her barely-covered nipples.
''Fuck this shit!'' He sneers at the thought.
All he needed was to train the selected harem on how to ward and kill Yoru.
Remembering what had made him stop time, he looks back at Kritz who had made more improvements than the previous time he had watched him.
Unlike the slight movement of his fingers, he had his hands in near clenched fists.
''He''s making improvements and countering my time maniption.'' Hisha points out.
[He''s evolving slowly, host]
''Evolving...'' Hisha repeats, wondering if it could also happen to him.
[You can evolve after every 10th increase in your level, host]
''What''s my status now?''
____________
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1007]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 969/1000]
[Meretrix: 3]
[Points: 181000]
[Exp:44]
[Total number of your harem: 6188]
____________
Rubbing his chin, he smiles at the spark of hope that was opened to him. "Just three more levels and my desire points are almostplete."
Rubbing his hands together, he cackles at the thought of milking those desire points by going on a lustful spree with his harem members.
"I can wait." His voice ttens at the thought of not engaging in mindless sex except it was to meet up with new meretrixs.
[Ri....ight]
"So what you''re trying to tell me is that the Zorpha evolved drastically through some technique by the trio and the reason it could easily counter my time maniption.''
[You''re improving in your cognitive development]
''I''ll take that as apliment.''
The moment Kritz makes a clench, Hisha jumps back in slight shock, inhaling and exhaling as he moves back to his seat.
Deactivating his hold, he watches as things slowly return to the temporary hold of Surie.
Kritz was quick to sense something strange had happened and looked back at Hisha.
His eyes are wide from the gut feeling that Hisha had been close to him and definitely not sitting there all the while.
Hisha''s poker face made it difficult for him to deduce what he had felt a few seconds ago.
"Any issue, Kritz?" Hisha raises a brow in question.
Shaking his head in a no, Kritz turns his attention back to the arena.
''That was close.'' Hisha chuckles in his thoughts.
[I don''t see anything wrong in excluding him from the time maniption]
''I can control who I want to be frozen in time?''
HTC put up a facepalming emoji, with it scrolling countless ''tsk''.
*****
Surie leans over Joslin as she gives one final whisper, "can you now feel what it''s like to be dead by your weapon?"
Joslin''s eyes went wide as she felt her breath get cut short.
She pulls the head of Joslin off her body as the blood stters out of the severed neck.
[5000 points acquired]
[Harem: 6187]
"Surie Holt wins the fourth round!" Kritz announces in a loud voice.
|Raw carnage level~74%+10%|

Getting to her feet, Surie tosses the shard off her hand.
Clutching on it, Surie tries her best to ignore the throbbing pain of her injury.
[Duel: 3]
[Number of possible harems participating: 21]
[Victories: 4]
[Points umted during the tournament: 115000]
Watching Surie walk out slowly from the arena, she was stopped by Hisha''s call.
Looking above, she had a weak smile as she witnessed Hisha call out to her.
[Exp+3]
With her Sux severely drained, her vision begins to cloud and her heart thumps with each step.
Seeing the struggle she was going through, Hisha teleports in front of her
Making an appearance in front of Surie, he opens his hands, nodding to hers.
Surie looks at his hands in awe.
"My... my hands are bloody and dirty, my lord." She stammers, looking at the floor, skeptical about going through with his ns.
Shaking his head, he reaches out to take hers, observing how deep the cut had been.
He had realized she had been given odd stares and from the looks of the victory, she had no emotional support friend that could cheer her up.
''It''s only fair I help out, it wouldn''t be best to let you bleed for this long.''
[Ability: heal]
Surie''s eyes bulge in disbelief at how her ruptured skin slowly closes and heals until traces of the past injury were gone.
[26 Sux exhausted]
Surie stares at her healed hands with teary eyes. "Thank¨C"
Sumbing to her Sux depletion, she falls back but is easily caught by Hisha.
There was a loud collective gasp from the rest as the majority around got to their feet to get a better glimpse of what had happened.
''It knocked her out.'' Hisha jokes, caressing her hair and scooping her into his arms.
Looking over his shoulder, he was more than d that Kritz could easily tell that his attention was needed.
Appearing beside Hisha, Kritz bows his head. "My lord..."
Through the corner of his lips, Hisha whispers, "carry on without me, put the other part in n, I''d like to know how that goes."
With a nod of understanding, Kritz forced a little smile in admiration.
[Charm+10]
Opening up a portal to the infirmary, Hisha walks in without another word.
*****
In the infirmary,
Walking through the hallway, he kicks open the door.
Bang!
[You had to just do that?]
''Ie in with a bang!'' Hisha proudly responds with his head raised high.
The nurses all line in front of the door to greet with a bow.
Hisha scoffs and gives a response with a grunt.
"To what do we owe our lord?" One of the nurses dressed in white uniform steps in.
Hisha''s brows twitch, agitated by the absurdity of the question.
[Don''t do it, host!]
HTC warns, skeptical about the silence that had followed.
"I came to check if you assist infirmed ones." Hisha deadpans with a poker face.
The nurse gulped, understanding her mistake as three other nurses whispered at herck of reasoning she had done in questioning Hisha.
Quick to correct herself, she switches her approach, "I apologize, my lord. We have lots of beds and nurses who could care for her."
The moment she had said this, the rest scurried about to get the needed equipment to set up a pleasant environment for Surie.
Ignoring them, he scans the area and gets a glimpse of a bed at the far right of the room.
Gently cing her on the bed, he pulls a chair and sits down next to Surie''s side.
One of the nurses who stayed behind adjusts the bedsheet and cleans the little area around the bed.
Her actions are uneasy and in a daze, as she steals nces at Hisha.
"Does she need any meds?" Hisha inquires as he looks up at the nurse.
Slipping on the wet rag used on a shelf, she falls to the floor with a thud.
Immediately getting to her feet, she masks her awkward moment with a light chuckle and an apology while wiping off the dust from her uniform.
"All she needs is rest, my lord." The nurse responds politely, clearing her throat.
With a wave of his hand in dismissal, he says. "That will be all, I appreciate the time spent."
[Charm+15]
Nodding her head at his words with a smile, the nurse left to inform the healers.
Click!
Hisha''s face was stoic, watching Surie sleep peacefully.
''You have a dangerous personality too, but sadly you aren''t yandere.''
Sigh!
Chapter 166 I Choose To Nap
Hands buried in his pockets, he looks at the bed.
Closing his eyes, he takes a deep breath before letting it out.
''I suddenly feel tired.''
[Built up stress, host]
''Stress, huh?'' He let out a scoff, a smirk tugging at his lips.
From the past few days, there was no way he could deny that. What he had been through was enough to make anyone lose it without the right mindset.

''Ha! That was quick.'' Hishaughs at the boost he had gotten.
[You do not wish to return quickly?]
Shaking his head, he wiggles his brow at his user interface.
''I guess my n is going well.''
[That was brutal, host!]
Getting to his feet, he paces about and rubs his chin at the thought of what he had instructed.
Giving a half-shrug, Hisha leans on the wall, ''putting up twenty-onedies in the arena to save time will only make the tournament faster.''
[That just reduces the chance of creating distance between them, host]
''Two strikes, five strikes? Some should just ept their death.'' Hisha retorts.
[You epted toe here, not because you wish to assist Surie but as a means of escape]
Nodding his head, Hisha''s smirk only increased at his true motives.
He had spoken briefly with Kritz. All he needed to do was allow the rest who hadn''t picked their papers, to do so at the same time with the rest.
This would mean twenty-one harem members were called out. In a bid not to get his eyes and mind preupied with thedies, he opted out for an escape route¨CSurie''s low stamina after her little speed outburst.
''The more harem members in an arena, the more chaos.'' Hisha cackles out loud.
Sealing his lips immediately he notices Surie turn in her sleep, he let out a sigh of relief when she smiles in her sleep.

[Death¡Á5]
Wincing at the disy in front of him, he holds half of his face, covering his mouth to stifle augh at how quick the deaths were inparison to the previous contest.
''Kritz must have given out my information that shook them to the bones!''
[Dismembering if they failed toply with the rule is quite...]
''Beautifully wicked? Pleasantly disgusting? Admirably unbelievable?''
[...]
''That''s right, as I thought.'' Hisha nods his head.
Yawn!
Smacking his lips, his eyes nced over the body of Surie.
He tried his best to restrain a frown at the sight of her cleavage fully covered up by her armor. Instead, he takes sce in the curves of her wonderful butt that he can hardly get enough of.
''Fucking hell, why did she have to wear those damned tight shorts?!''
Shaking off the thought as it came, he had a double take on why his thoughts diverted so suddenly in that direction.
Holding onto his face, he shook his head. ''I am Hisha, yes! Not the previous host.''
[The previous host is Hisha, host]
HTC deadpans with a disapproving emoji.
Wiping down his face, Hisha cast a deadpanned look at the user interface, ''must you ruin my moment?''
[I operate to aid your desires]
Muttering under his breath, Hisha narrows his eyes at the interface and says. "It must have slipped your mind on what desires I want right now."
|Raw carnage level~90%+5%|
[Destruction]
Trying his best to upy
himself with his work, Hisha began to question HTC on the results of his little ploy.
[It''s still uncertain, host. Until the final winner]
''So, it seems like my n works out.'' Hisha mumbles with a nod to his words.
A small smile pulled at his lips, the only thing that matters now was the points he could umte strongest harem members with him.
Once the weak had been weeded out, he could probably concentrate on training the ones who had proven themselves to pass the first wave of the tournament.
He had also been curious as to how many of them would survive the next few months until they reached the final round.
This had also been in connection with harem increasing in their evolutions. It would be a difficult task to traindies who are either willing to cohabit or are at each other''s throats.
If anything happens, then he hoped the others could all work together with those who had shorter tempers and monstrous personalities.

''Heck yeah!'' Hisha whooped in joy at getting one-ninth of his total value for his raw carnage level.
After the tournament, he ns to seek attention and death from those who would wish to underestimate him while in disguise for his next adventure.
Clearing his throat, he chuckles at how excited he had been for something that wasn''t present for the time being.
[Take one at a time, host]
''I know.'' Hisha nods his head.
Turning his attention to the door, he creates an invisible barrier on it to prevent intruders from gaining ess and for safety precautions.
''I can''t be caught unaware while taking a nap.''
[You can''t die]
HTC deadpans, repeating lots of facepalming emojis.
[I don''t sleep either, I can keep watch and wake you at the sight of an impossible danger]
Hisha winces at the words, uneasy and disturbed. ''As much as that''s meant to calm me, it didn''t.''
He couldn''t get around the fact that he had a system that could stare at him while he sleeps, have sex, and clean up¨Cin all facets of his life, he was reminded of the fact that he is watched closely by HTC.
[You are free to do what you want, host]
''I choose to put up a barrier, this isn''t my room.'' Hisha finalizes, taking his seat once more.
Making another separate one for Surie and then another for himself.
[What are you doing, host?]
''I need a bit of sleep, it wouldn''t hurt to ck off a bit.''
[Is that alright, by you? While the tournament is on?]
''I''ve gotten seven deaths and the points that follow without being there. Today is an exception.''
HTC closes its disy interface, epting its host''s decision.
Hisha cackles in mischief, adjusting and leaning forward, he rests on the edge of the bed and drifts off to sleep.
*****
Yawn!
[Wee back host, you slept for 20 minutes. Would you like an update on all that happened during that time?]
''Obviously, yes.'' Hisha replies, stretching out with a smile.
[Total number of points umted during the time frame: 35000]
[Number of harem lost/dead: 7]
[Number of harempeting/alive: 7]
[Raw carnage level: +42%]
[Harem: 6173]
Hisha stares at the stats for a while, digesting the information with keen interest.
In a span of that short while, the aggressive nature of one or more harem members had spiked up.
His curiosity was slowly getting the best of him as his desire to get the answers to what had happened and the level of carnage increased.
''I guess it''s about time I return.''
His eyes looked down, focused on a sleeping Surie, instinctively he reached out for the first time.
Leaning down, he gently kisses Surie''s forehead.
Her eyes fluttered open and looked up at him, her voice low and hushed. "L...Lord Hisha?"
An instinctive urge to caress hair took over andpels him to do so with a smile.
Wanting to strike up a conversation, he asks, "how are you feeling?"
"Like shit." She replies bluntly, letting out a low chuckle.
cing his finger under her chin, he tilts her head upwards, kissing her on the lips.
[Exp+4]
"You''re alive, you''re safe, that''s what matters." He murmurs against her lips.
[Why do I feel that''s a part lie, host]
''Give me some breathing space, HTC!''
Surie blinks with a dazed look, smitten by his sudden disy of affection towards her.
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she pulls him closer for yet another.
cing his hand on the side of the bed, he stops himself from following her lead.
His goal isn''t to make out with her but to get back to the arena to catch a glimpse of what was left of the battle.
Surie felt a bit awkward and saddened by his refusal to kiss her again.
"Did I do something wrong, my lord?" She timidly asks, averting her gaze elsewhere.
Chapter 167 One Exception
Temporarily closing his eyes, Hisha let out a sigh as he locked his gaze with her once more. ''How I wish that was the case, then I''d be able to use a different approach.''
"It''s best I don''t go overboard while you''re still recovering." He replies, his breath ragged as he tries to calm his tendencies.
It took a few minutes for Surie to understand what he had meant and the moment she did, her cheeks flushed a bright pink.
Ahem!
Hisha looks at her arm, hoping she could release his head from her grin or risk being lifted when he stands upright and pulls her closer to himself.
Releasing her grip on the back of his neck, he let out a sigh of relief.
"I need to get back to the arena. Would you prefer staying here or returning to the others?"
Giving it a second thought, Surie goes with thetter, she couldn''t stand the serene environment of the infirmary.
"I would rather stick with you, lord Hisha." She pulls him by the shoulder and kisses him passionately.
Hisha had his chest press against her soft breasts as his hands unconsciously explored her body underneath the armor.
''For something that looks so hard, it is surprisingly flexible.''
He couldn''t stop fawning over the armor that felt nothing he had imagined.
It all began to make sense as to why she had been given the five-strike rule as opposed to the others who had full armor.
He groans as he feels her tongue slide into his mouth, tasting her with relish.
''I''m not meant to do this for now! Hisha wakes up to reality and sees the big goal ahead!''
Pushing off her as he tries to catch his breath, he breaks from her lips, panting heavily as he uses his hand to lift his body weight off her.
"We should get going." He pants out, wiping the sweat from his brow.
Surie grins ear to ear at the sight of his state, her eyestched to his bulge that was visibly trying to get his mind off it.
"There can always be a next time during my visits or aside moments like this," Hisha exins, trying his best to stop his thoughts from going into a lustful overdrive.
If he didn''t know any better, he could feel himself slowly lose to his lustful tendencies.
With him being far away from the lustful experience bar being high, he wasn''t willing to risk engaging on his urges so he couldn''t have the previous host take over his body.
Surie smiles at his words, her mood a lot much better as she replies in a sultry voice. "I will be expecting your visit to the meretrix I stay at."

Hisha gives a sweet smile influenced by the notification from his system.
With his hand outstretched to Surie, he waits for her response.
Her cheeks flush at the gesture, feeling herself get pulled the moment she ces her fingers on his palm.
With their bodies pressed against one another, Hisha looks down and searches her eyes. "I can feel you''re almost fully recovered."
Surie nods her head, smiling sheepishly whilst cing the side of her head on his chest. "Thank you."
[Exp+2]
[Charm+10]
This only serves as good news for Hisha, who willingly epts her attention if it means getting desire and charm points.
"Shall we?"
Surie readily nods her head.
*****
Teleporting to his chair, Hisha sat cross-legged as though he had never left.
Vanas held onto his chair, trying his best to calm his nerves at the sudden jump scare from Hisha''s appearance. The rest of the tribal chiefs all stared in shock, unable to utter a word.
Kritz looks back in awe at his lord''s return. "Wee back, Lord Hisha."
[Charm+15]
Giving a nod of approval, he brings back his attention to the arena.
Nodding his head at HTC''s reports the names of the remaining contestants.
"Interesting..." He mutters to himself at the sight of the murder and bloodshed that could be seen in the fifteen corpses.
Ady with ice ws snarls are the rest of the women as her blue eyes glow fiercely
Cold steam seethes from her mouth as she looks around her at thedies closing in on her.
''Character status.''
[Name: Crystal Lumi]
[Height: 168cm]
[Position: Halone¨CIce queen]
Scoffing at the title, he shook his head at how diverse his harem was.
''For an ice queen, that''s one huge temper she got there.'' Hisha jokes.
One thing that was striking was the fact that there was ice around the usually sandy terrain.
Some of the corpses had ice shards impaled into their bodies, leaving visible trails of blood from their wounds.
''The other contestants seem to be having a hard time dealing with her.'' Hisha remarks, taking a nce at the user interface.
[There is one exception]
Hisha leans a little forward to get a glimpse of ady who to his shock turns out to be Zui¨Cshe was the only one who seemed to be unaffected by the cold with her bare skin exposed.
''I wonder if it has something to do with her bloodline.'' Hisha concludes with his eyes narrowing.
[She has utilized a high-rank technique]
Not understanding what was said, Hisha takes another look at Zui, only then could he understand what was being said.
His brows furrow when he notices purple runes engraved into her body forming a branch of chains that linked up one after another.
''The runes on her body, they look simr to the ones on her array.''
Hisha follows his gaze as he watches how Zui uses her words to cast spells. Watching her casting spells without any sign of Sux.
''A witch, that could prove useful.''
[If she could hold her lot against Alta for a time, it would seem she has gotten a lot better since thest two near death experiences]
Hisha nods his head at the usible exnation, it was only fair that Zui learns how to fight for her survival after those experiences.
"Go Zui!" Sra gets to her feet, cheering on her friend.
Hisha scratches his eyes in disbelief to also witness a few others cheer on Zui, but none couldpare to the one person who tries to outshine the rest with her wings spread out.
"Alta?" Hisha gawks in disbelief, nearly bursting out intoughter.
She had used her wings to push away some who threw their hands in the air in support, allowing only Sra to take most of the vocal support.
Sra pauses for a while, looks back at Alta, and whispers, "you don''t have to do this, you know that, right?"
Curving her wings around Sra, Alta broke into a grin as she whispered back. "If I don''t cheer on, who will be my little ything to get to you?"
Pushing back, Sra shook her head with a smile. "You''re crazy."
"Ites with the tribal description." Alta proudly replies and immediately switches her gaze to cheering on Zui.
''What sort of psycho am I conversing with?'' A big grin was spread out as Sra turned her attention back to the arena.
[It would seem they are still getting along]
Hisha nodded his head but had other ns running through his thoughts.
''How does Zui manage to move her body with that much ice surrounding her?'' Hisha asks, curious as he watches Zui charge her hand with gathered Sux from those surrounding her.
Zzzzt!
Boom!
Three others dropped to their feet due to the strain from the easy drain on their Sux without body contact.
[Her high-rank ability spurns from using your opponent''s Sux against them]
''So she''s merely charging herself with Sux gotten from others within her range?''
[That is correct, and she''s channeling it back to her advantage]
Hisha suddenly had a weird idea as he stared at the bloodied arena.
Kritz materializes beside Hisha to report on the action he had missed, and the one exnation only confirmed his suspicions.
Those who had been impaled on the ice shard already had a bit of their Sux drained before they could properly engage Zui.
Crystal had only killed them when they were considered a nuisance and stopped them from unintentionally fueling Zui with their Sux.
"What made her this way?" Hisha questions Kritz.

? Who still remembers Zui, by the way? (?©`?_?©`?©a?)

Chapter 168 Wrath Of The Ice Queen
"A high priestess has a proficiency for a high-rank spell triggered by a zeal to be stronger and most especially ''not die'' could unlock this side of her," Kritz exins with a shrug.
Hisha nods his head to the revtion, his interest suddenly piqued by the possibility of who would win between his favorite quartet once they evolved more than the destructive versions they already are.
"Finally, some good action, not that eye-sore of a duel at that first duel." Hisha cackles in joy at the new and improved Zui.
Pointing at her, he smiles as he praises her while taking a nce at Kritz. "Now that''s some S rank magic.''
''S rank magic?'' Kritz tilts his head in confusion at the strange word but chooses to keep it to himself.
Instead, he tries to deduce the meaning as something rted to a high or advanced rank worthmending.
"Yes, my lord." Kritz agrees with a smile.

[Gore]
Crystal hisses as she looks at the remains of what was left of thedy that was caught in the st.
Releasing her ice hold on the rest, she hopes they could serve as a distraction while she finds a way to get the upper hand
''I can''t afford to get hit by the st!'' She thinks, her eyes searching her environment for possible ways she could counter getting her Sux drained if she gets in a rage with Zui.
Whoosh!
The surrounding ice breaks as Zui zooms to grab a hold of another harem member who is just trying to get her thoughts back together after the unfreeze.
As she is grabbed, thedy''s green hair slowly turns gray and her body wrinkles as Zui absorbs not only her Sux but her life''s essence.
''What the fuck is with my harem and surprises?!'' Hisha screams in his thoughts, elevated by the intriguing disy Zui was showcasing.
[I will take that as a pleasant response to all that''s going on]
''It sure as hell is, with their diversity, it not only adds to my abilities but also a greater chance at their monstrous abilities evolving far greater than this they are disying.''
[You have broad thinking, host]
Nodding his head in excitement, Hisha subconsciously pulls Kritz to kneel beside him while he pats his head.
Kritz kneels, frozen in shock by the disy but also quiet as he lets it slide if this was a new method of his lord being pleased with the abilities of his harem.
''You can take this embarrassment, Kritz. No one can call you out for it since it''s the overlord.'' He repeatedly told himself this as he looked straight ahead.
Hisha''s hand pauses as he stiffly turns his attention to Kritz. Immediately retracting his hand, he stares at Kritz with bulging eyes.
Quick to hide his reactions, he pats Kritz on the back and orders him to get to his feet.
"Is my lord, pleased?" Kritz questions with a little smile.
Hisha winces at the words, condemning his thoughts for going a little out of line and crossing the dirt paths.
In a bid to correct his thinking, he responds specifically. "It wasforting to touch your hair while I was blinded by excitement."
Kritz nods and turns his attention back to the arena.

The frail body of thedy crashes onto the wall before she falls down face t.

Two throwing stars sh across the neck of thedy, killing her instantly.
Vanas couldn''t help but burst intoughter at the disy of the repeated backstabbing and bloodshed.
"When you think you have it rough, always remember there are others who are out there seeking to have your neck slit." He jokes, throwing his legs up as he burst into a peal of crazedughter.
The other tribal chiefs facepalms in unison at the embarrassing disy from Vanas.
Speaking through grit teeth, "is there like no day you blurt out stupidity?"
Vanas lets off a satisfied smile, shaking his head and not caring about what the others think of him.
"I would rather live life heartily than a stiff, boring, high, and mighty life." He hisses and spits to the side.
"Watch it you fool!" Wae barks, adjusting in his chair to avoid the trail of spit down the leg of his chair.
Hisha let out a low chuckle, suddenly amused by their normal behavior of brothers bickering at one another.
Kritz res at Aster who returns the same gloomy look with much ferocity.
Something wasn''t right with the minotaur tribal chief, and he could feel it in his bones.
[How about you watch something much more interesting?]
''Like what?''
Pointing an arrow ahead, Hisha instantly felt like a fool for getting distracted while his harem was battling it out for their life.
*****
"Come on! Let''s show them how we ughter!" Crystal screams at the top of her lungs, immediately cackling as she runs toward Zui.
Zui on the other hand had her neck tilted to her right, slightly confused by the murderous intent.
"It''s best you don''te close to me." She warns, pointing at an approaching Crystal.
All she had truly wanted was to give them all strikes so they could be disqualified¨Cnot killed.
Bringing her hands upward, she had in a neck grip, thedy who had killed the previous she had drained of her Sux.
Whispering into thedy''s ear, "would you want to live by my side or die by hers?"
Thedy slowly opens her eyes, groaning and stiffly tilting her head in the direction of Crystal.
Before her lips could move to make her choice, Zui sneered. "Too slow."
She proceeds to fling her in the direction of Crystal.
At the same moment, Crystal releases the ice spikes from her hands and arms as she begins to roll out of the ring.
Shluk!
Shluk!
The ice that pierces her body liquidizes and spreads out around the corpse.
Crrrk!
Crrk!
Tiny crack marks appear all over the body before exploding into tiny red pieces of frozen chunks of flesh.

[Gore]
Thestdy who had hidden underneath some of the corpses let out a scream as she witnessed the chunks falling directly on top of her.
The majority of the crowd let out a collective ''ooof!'' as they watch chunks of frozen flesh fall into her mouth.
This only seems to boost her screams in horror as she realized her cover had been blown, it was only a matter of time before Zui or Crystal would get to her first.
[That wasn''t a smart move]
''You don''t say...'' Hisha replies rather sarcastically, already giving up on thedy after realizing how much of a coward she truly could be.
His mind travels back to the time the arena had been attacked, if he didn''t know any better he would have been doubtful of her fleeing the scene then.
But from what he had witnessed, he could have almost sworn that she and the rest of the others had willfully chosen to save their skin and not disy their ability.
This was a grim reminder of what his tribal chiefs had done to the selection process.
''Beauty with no brawns.''
Zui looks to her side and spots thedy who had mixed with the surrounding bodies.
''A chameleon tribe.'' Zui chuckles in her thoughts at how crazy the n was but also how well it would have been if she hadn''t been able to sense her presence.
Crystal''s attention was also drawn as she charged at the easy target. It was either she kills her or Zui gets to her first.
Whoosh!
The ground erupts and cracks under the impact as the ground shakes violently beneath her feet.
Whoosh!
Zui zooms in pursuit of getting to their sole underrated opponent first.
Thedy pushes the body off hers, jumping up in a panic and narrowly escaping the ice ws aimed at her.
Getting to her feet, she crouches and throws up onto the floor.
The puke mixed with blood and water had Hisha''s lips drawn into a thin line. ''Yes, death. That would atone for the shit I just witnessed.''
Bam!
Thedy gasped at the kick to her stomach, sending her tumbling to the floor before she crashed into the wall.
|Raw carnage level~174%+5%|
[Destruction]
''Yes!'' Hisha internally rejoices at the retribution dished out for him.
Crystal screams in rage at missing her kill once more. The kick Zui had done, drastically reduced the Sux of their opponent but also had her flying away from the ice projectiles she had fired.
"Beware the wrath of the ice queen!" She yells with a warning, pointing directly at Zui.
Chapter 169 Switch It Up
Scoffing at the pointless threat, she has her gaze directed at the one person who was caught in the middle of their scuffle.
''I had watched the others die, I can''t let that happen again!''
Whoosh!
Zui dashed towards the fallendy, punching her lightly.
''Second strike!''
"K Cos has been disqualified," Kritz announced before she could defend her actions.
Zui let out a sigh of relief, hoping she could get proper care before she would be left for dead or suffer a much worse situation at the hand of Crystal.
"How dare you?!" Crystal screams as her hair flies wildly around her.
Turning around, Zui raises her brow. "I didn''t realize following the rules was a problem, Crystal!"
Hisha cast a pleased smile at Zui, ''she has grown, unlike the past.''
[I wonder what could have been the motivation?]
''I might sound self-absorbed if I respond.''
[Your words and smile already show you know the answer]
Shaking his head, Hisha realized he forgot about one thing¨Cremoving his mark from K.
Opening his palm, his gesture beckons the stiff body of K pulled towards him.
Holding her in a choking grab, his eyes glow and so did hers.
Huff!
Huff!
She breathes for a few seconds before turning limp and passing out.
Nodding towards Kritz, Kritz covers K in his orb before teleporting it toward the infirmary.
[1 unmarked]
[Harem: 6168]
With Kritz gaining permission to continue, Crystal covers her fingers with ice ws, licking her lips.
"It''s just down to the two of us." Crystal cackles, opening and closing her hands.
Walking circles around Zui, ice spreads out in a circr formation surrounding the arena as the floor bes slippery due to the ice.
The arena had be a deadly trap as the ice spread out and covered the entire area.
Coating her feet with Sux, Zui berates Crystal for her poor choices.
The ice breaks upon contact with her feet as she moves casually toward Crystal.
Opening her hands wide as though for a hug, she tilts her head. "C''mon, let''s hug this out, it was a good game."
Hisha had almost burst intoughter at her words, they all knew anyone who was dumb or brave enough to try that without knowing a way to counter that was worth participating in the tournament.
''How long does this techniquest?''
[Crystal or Zui, host?]
For a brief moment, Hisha felt himself questioning how that sounded as though he had gotten intimate with them and was having a debate about it.
''Zui.'' Hisha deadpans.
[3 hours, currently she has exhausted 1 hour 23 minutes]
''There isn''t much time if this gets dragged on.''
[That''s right]
Steepling his fingers in front of him, he waits for the next chain of events.
"I wish not to hurt, insteade here, it''s just two strikes!"
Crystal''s limit gets to its maximum as she shoots ice from her fingers.
Creating a magical array to deflect the projectiles, Zui shakes her head. "Don''t tell me that''s your best."
Before Crystal can move, Zui sweeps both arms under her legs and kicks off the ground, using magic to spin her body as she bounces from the ice shards.
"Does that count as a strike?" Zui taunts with a grin.
''I guess not.'' Hisha replies in his thoughts, realizing he didn''t get any sort of notification.
"You''re going to pay for that!" Crystal screams as she runs toward Zui only to slip and fall into the water.
''An excellent strategy but how will she react when she realizes she has fallen into my trap?
What happens once Crystal finds herself unable to move while trapped underwater?''
Zui snickers as she has the water ovep and pulls on Crystal''s limbs.
As Crystal struggles to break free from the water, Zui continues to taunt her.
"Remember you''re dealing with a witch, not all is as it seems."
Pushing herself from the water, Crystal curses as she stands up.
''Zui is ying dirty, but she won''t get what she''s looking for.''
"We both won fair and square, but I''ll take the win this round."
Crystal''s eyes bulge when Zui pats her on the shoulder.
''H¨CHow?!'' Crystal froze at the proximity between them.
Crystal''s face turns red at Zui''s words, her cheeks be even redder when Zui gives her a wink.
Gritting her teeth, Crystal looks at the water with fear in her eyes, feeling her maniption of the water to form ice dwindling.
Given enough time to recover the little she had lost, Crystal kicks off the ground, her feet start glowing as she spins, ice flying through the air like shooting stars.
Aiming at Zui, she unleashed her attack.
"You should have known better than to underestimate me, Crystal!"
Smiling, Zui dodges the first volley of ice crystals.
"Don''t think touching me counts as a strike!!" Crystal spits in disdain.
Crystal''s eyes glow brightly as she raises her hand, the ice forming into a giant ball.
Her attack was interrupted as Zui grabbed her arm, pulling her close enough for her hold to dwindle.
Bam!
Crrk!
She nudges Crystal in the rib, and using her other hand, Zui blocks Crystal''s next attack and pushes off her.
The ice melted from the drain of her Sux, Crystal''s eyes widened as the ice was turned back into tiny fragments.
''Was she able to do something else beyond draining Sux?''
"You can''t win against me!" Crystal yells in protest at losing so easily.
Sigh!
Hisha rolls his eyes at the bicker between the two. ''They are by far the talkative type."
[It''s entertaining]
''Speak for yourself, HTC. Zui has only a few minutes before her technique deactivates from the strain.'' Hisha snaps.
Crystal''s eyes turn crimson as she snaps her fingers, releasing a series of ice spikes.
Zui saw the spikesing and moved to dodge them.
But Crystal''s attack was fast and urate.
Zui''s movements were too slow and the spikes pierced her shoulder.
''A strike!'' Crystal beamed with hope.
Hearing Zui''s scream in pain, Crystal''s eyes darken as she rushed towards Zui.
Backing away, Zui creates a shield to block Crystal''s attacks.
Bam!
Bam!
Her blows were blocked and deflected until she finally managed to push Crystal back.
Alta leans to her side and at Sra, "hmmm where have I seen this y out?"
Adjusting in her seat, Sra shakes her head, there is no way she will answer such an obvious question.
Snapping her fingers, pretending as though she could just remember what she had racked her thoughts for.
"This would be the second time she''s using a shield to save her ass," Alta conversed with a straight face.
"What''s more, her opponent is weaker, so there is a higher chance she will still gain an upper hand as she had been a few minutes ago."
Sra stares in disbelief at the urate analysis of both parties and how calm Alta was while speaking to them.
"You believe Zui will win?"
"She will," Alta asserts with a smile.
Sra''s mood was ted and was immediately pulled down when Alta continued.
"... and I will be there to show her her ce," Alta concludes with a grin and a wink.
"Typical," Sra mutters under her breath and shakes her head.
*****
Clutching onto her shoulder, Zui frowns her face as she realizes mistakes made by going easy on Crystal.
All that was needed was another strike to get her out of the arena.
Zui''s hair spreads around her body as purple Sux coats her body.
Her eyes glow brightly as she forms arge ball of Sux that bursts into tiny fractions.
"I didn''t intend to use a bit of my Sux to this level." Zui expresses, slightly disappointed in herself.
A wave of Sux spread out locking onto Crystal.
Turning the situation in her favor was near impossible with the range of attack from Zui.
Feeling her whole body bombarded with Sux, she drops to her knees, eyes shaken with fear and confusion as to the reason her body felt heavy and immobile.
Huff!
Huff!
All the Sux she had gathered was forcefully bombarded due to overexposure from Zui. With her body not being able to take it, she would suffer a setback from the exposure.
She stiffly raises her head to get a glimpse of a staggering Zui in her direction.
"Go... away!!!" She mutters.
At thest sound of footsteps, she was met with a glimpse of Zui''s feet.
''So this is the end, huh?!''
Her heart pounded as she gathered her thoughts.
Chapter 170 See... I Did It!
"Crystal Lumi has been disqualified," Kritz announced as he watched her try to get to her feet.
Overwhelmed by the influx in Sux and the announcement, she readily gives up with a whimper.
The moment she felt her body weight lighten and get pulled towards Hisha, she had her head down in despair.
Now staring at Hisha with his palm around her neck, she gave one final smile and whispered, "thank you."
Hesitant at first to unmark her, Hisha tilts his head and his hold falters.
[You can''t back down on a rule set by yourself and with others being put in a simr situation and had theirs dished out]
Closing his eyes momentarily, Hisha lets out a sigh of disappointment and establishes eye contact with her.
[1 unmarked]
[Harem: 6167]
"Zui Mu wins thest round!" Kritz announces in a loud voice.
[Duel: 0]
[Number of possible harems participating: 0]
[Victories: 40]
[Points umted during the tournament: 200000]
Hisha whoops internally in joy at the points he had umted so far in just a match.
Zui staggers towards Sra, falling into her arms. "See... I did it."
Sra nods her head, pleased with what her friend could aplish.
"You were great and that was some awesome skill you showed there!" Sra assures.
Zui''s smile immediately dropped at the sight of a shadow cast over her from Alta.
Scoffing and not directly looking at Zui, Alta uses her wings to cover Sra and Zui.
"You did fairly well." She mutters, pouting and cursing at no one in particr.
This little moment had softened Zui''s heart towards the demoness.
Turning her attention to Sra, she asks with amusement. "Was this the version you deal with whenever you two meet?"
Sra looks back at Alta and shakes her head at how petty she was acting. "You can''t even imagine the numerous personalities she has."
*****
''If only they could all rte well and take the time to grow in their skills.'' Hisha thinks as he watches the trio converse like sisters with contrasting personalities.
Clearing his throat, he gets to his feet and congrattes all who had given their best and sessfully won and hoped the day''s experience would teach the rest how prepared they must be to face a much more dangerous duel as it continues.
They all get to their feet in different rows and walk out of the exit.
Once it had been confirmed that they had all exited the arena, Kritz gave a final nod.
[Charm+5]
Before disappearing to watch over the harem as they make it to their various meretrixs.
Hisha sat on his chair listening to his tribal chiefs make several sidements and speak on what they thought about the tournament, with Vanas being the loudest of them all.
Hisha closed his eyes and internally clicked his tongue at the thought of Vanas being the way he was since he had not made any visible slip that could give himself away from the misdeed.
''All I need is one slip, then I''d strike and maybe then you could join in my collection of blood contracts.'' Hisha''s lips raised in a smirk at the thought.
[You do like searching for trouble, don''t you host?]
''More like I''d like to show them I''m not the pushover that the original host had made himself look like to these fools.''
The tribal chiefs had gotten to their feet and were ready to leave when they heard Hisha stop them.
With his hand raised, he calls out to all, "we aren''t done yet."
Turning to look behind, Mich was the first to voice his concern. "We''re not, my lord?"
[Charm+20]
Hisha was quick to hide his shock at the great boost from Mich, he couldn''t help but wonder if it was attributed to the fact that he was the first under the contract that made him a lot more fearful than most.
Vanas raises a brow at the mannerism used to speak to Hisha, even though he was their overlord, they didn''t feel they werep dogs that would suck up to him at every word.
Draegul turned around and sat back down, not wanting to draw any attention to himself, nor was he going to speak and stress hisck of vocabry.
The rest all followed suit, if Draegul the most powerful among them could be docile in a situation like this, who were they to dispute and cause nothing but trouble for themselves?
Carefully sitting, they let out a little chuckle and had their attention on Hisha.
Acting as the spokesperson as he had done at the initial meeting that had led to the death of one of their own.
Wae got to his feet and gave a slight bow to Hisha
[Charm+15]
This action could only confirm what Hisha had thought of the situation¨Cthe blood contract was by far the main reason for such a leap in his charm points.
Before turning his attention to the rest of the tribal chief, Wae clears his throat and smiles. "Lord Hisha, it is our pleasure to hear what you have to say to us."
Vanas scoffs but puts on a mischievous grin as he nods his head in agreement.
Finally getting the chance to speak, Hisha gets to his feet. Looking down at the servants who were cleaning the blood-covered ground, he let out a little chuckle.
"Since thest discussion we had, we haven''t really conversed much on what we feel about the situation that surrounds us in general."
He turns his attention back to them with a smirk.
"All I need to know is very simple and I''m hopeful it will benefit you all if you are willing to cooperate."
He leaves his words open for a brief discussion.
There was a brief murmur among them, as they shared nces at one another.
With none understanding why Hisha had suddenly brought up the topic, they subconsciously look to Wae to voice out their unified thought.
Chapter 171 Popcorn Would Do
Wae rolls his eyes and gets to his feet, muttering under his breath. "If it isn''t done by you, it isn''t done well."
Yet again, he gets to his feet, repeats the same motion, and clears his throat to speak.
''Is this dude a robot?''
[He''s more monotonous than I am, host]
HTC mocks with aughing emoji.
"My lord, we don''t seem to understand what you mean by that. Did we offend you in some way?"
Mich hups at the thought of that being the problem, shaking his head in fear, he looks away to calm his nerves.
[Charm+25]
Hisha was momentarily on cloud nine, given the fact that Mich was a walking charm point doubler for him.
''I should visit him more.'' Hisha thought with a devilish smirk.
Nodding his head in understanding, he hoped to get the information he needed and that includes the remaining two who had not spoken and given all but grunts, bows, nods, and generic greetings as did they rest when they met up with him during the tournament since he had met with them.
''I need the Ogre and Elf tribal chiefs to speak goddamnit!''
He stares at the two, hoping they could speak even if it was the Elf tribal chief to speak as he could almost guess that the Ogre couldn''t.
Needing answers from each one of them, he hopes they could formally introduce and state their concerns about their tribe.
"It''s simple, I have visited a few of your territories and it is disheartening to know you all had one trial or the other you hid from me." Hisha feigns concern as he takes a nce at all.
Going down to the main discussion, he points to every one of them, "I want you to state your woes and troubles if any, and possible grudges¨Cyou can be anonymous about it if you wish."
Vanas chuckles at the suggestion, raising his hand to chip in his thoughts.
Nodding in approval, Vanas replies. "My lord, would it be proper to share our weaknesses with those peasants listening to us below?"
''Peasants? The se rvants?''
Hisha looks below at the servants working diligently with the cleanup work.
''He got some nerve.'' Hisha hisses in his thoughts.
[He is a Count with his rank being the next closest to the dragon tribal chief, it''s only natural he feels a sense of pride at his power scale]
''Definitely needs a blood contract.''
Looking back at the rest, Hisha forces a smile,plying with the suggestion. "It would be a hindrance to you all, am I right?"
They inadvertently nod their heads, with Aster adding his thoughts on the issue. "We can''t be too sure who is our enemy or friend."
Hisha snaps his fingers, agreeing with what was said.
He pretends to agree until he gives his demand. "I will take us somewhere a lot more private than this, but you will have to do as I instruct and ask..."
A gasp and cold sweats were trailing down their foreheads at the thought of this causing a setback to them if they refuse or ept.
epting would put them in a tight fix¨Cone in which they can''t refuse, but it also meant if they decline they could also show they had something to hide and are unwilling to go through with it.
They all re at Vanas who felt a sense of guilt for bbering in such a manner.
With heavy hearts, they all nod their head in agreement and let out a sigh.
With a snap of his finger, they are teleported to Hisha''s throne hall.
They all drop with a thud to the floor.
Hisha walks up the dias and to his throne, sitting cross-legged whilst staring down at them to get to their feet.
"My apologies my esteemed tribal chiefs," Hisha begins with a deadpan face but internally whooping in a little victory he had achieved in making a fool out of them.
"I had thought that it was much faster and more effective to just appear here in the blink of an eye." Hisha continues in hopes ofing off as ignorant of his true actions.
Vanas dusts his body and lets out a low chuckle. Leaning to his side and at Draegul, he needed to vent out his frustration.
"If I didn''t know better, I would have almost bought that bullshit our lord is saying." He hisses in a whisper.
Bam!
Draegul gives an uppercut, causing Vanas to fly several feet away from him.
"Annoying little vermin!" He snarls as his eyes glow with burning distaste at being humiliated just like the rest.
There was no way they didn''t know Hisha had done that on purpose.
It had been a norm to use the portal, but the reason for his use of teleportation was a little reminder of their ce, and all because of Vanas'' little bbermouth.
Vanas got to his feet, wiping the blood off his nose and licking his hand. He let out a peal of maniacalughter.
"That was some punch, Draegul." He taunts and walks up to him.
[Host, aren''t you going to interfere?]
''Why would I do that?'' Hisha replies with a devious grin.
The fact that they were turning on one another was just the little he had wished to witness at least once in his lifetime.
They had been so in sync with one another when plotting against him that he had thought it remotely possible to witness this great hour.
[Why do I feel you enjoyed violence in your past life?]
''I was sort of a jerk with little care for the world back then, don''t have high hopes for me.'' Hisha counters.
He was beyond ordinary and lonely and couldn''t even stomach a fight from his colleagues at the time. He couldn''t understand why people would pull out their phones and watch a fight while shouting in excitement.
The scenes he had witnessed after dulling out his emotions had made him immune and slightly cynical and a sadist.
Currently, he felt nothing more than joy seeing them throw some fists at each other.
Leaning his head to the side and resting his cheeks on his palm, he hoped for more action than just a punch.
''I wish I had some popcorn, it would havepleted the movie experience.''
[Definitely not the same Hisha that had appeared at first]
''Of course, and I''m loving this.'' Hisha affirms with a smirk as his eyes involuntarily flicker and returns to their normal state.
"How long can they take this?" He mutters to himself.
Chapter 172 Awakening A Sleeping Dragon
Mich switches gaze from a menacing-looking Hisha staring down at what was going on the two who were oblivious to the mood of their lord.
Mich slowly made his way to Wae, hoping he could intervene since he was the closest they had to the two in the higher hierarchy of power level.
Wae adjusts his neck, stretching and watching the two with a stoic expression.
"Vanas has really done it this time." He says under his breath.
Mich pats his shoulder and has almost suffered the same fate as Vanas at the onset.
"Woah! Woah! It''s me, damn it!" Mich hisses.
Wae takes a brief body scan of Mich, "what do you want? Your ass beat, maybe?"
Cautiously nodding in Hisha''s direction, Wae''s eyes widened in shock at the seething murderous intent from Hisha.
''Oh no!'' He gasps as he traces the line of sight to the two who look as though they could start a brawl anytime soon.
"That fucking idiot!" Wae hisses, taking a step back.
A heart-to-heart discussion suggested by Hisha had suddenly turned murderous within the blink of an eye?
"Wae, you are the only one who can separate them without sustaining much damage." Mich whispers, batting his eyes and sping his hands in a plea.
Wae''s shoulder droops at the thought of separating two beasts if they were to unleash their true form.
Shaking the thought of Draegul being as stupid as Vanas, he rushes to separate as soon as possible.
Poking at Draegul''s dragon scale-ted chest, Vanas couldn''t help but scoff as thetter didn''t move an inch at the provocation.
''Acting all high and mighty are we?'' Vanas scoffs, rolling his eyes at the pompous look in Draegul''s eyes.
Wae steps in between the two and shake his head in disappointment.
Momentarily taking a nce at Hisha to see him raise a brow and reduce his murderous intent at the break in the possible build-up.
Phew!
Mich had also noticed it and sat on the floor, clutching his chest at the scare.
Unpredictably having their overlord was more dangerous than his lustful self with no care about what happens to any of them.
"Vanas stand down, you had provoked him and you should be d all you got was a punch. If you don''t want to meet an untimely demise, I''ll advise you to step back!"
Vanas stares down for a while, contemting what had been said in deep thought. ''Untimely death, huh?''
Draegul let out steam from his nostril to show how intimidating he could be.
Given the fact that vampires had a disdain for anything mmable, he did that as a reminder of what he could do if it escted.
Vanas raises his head and res at Draegul who had a wicked grin stered on his face, clearly enjoying the livid look on Vanas'' face.
''I can wipe that stupid smirk off your face if I wanted to, you fucker!'' He screams in his thoughts.
Draegul on the other hand stood quiet, his hand folded while enjoying the stare down from Vanas.
"Listen to the Lycan." Draegul taunts with a grin.
Wae winces at the reference, it almost sounded as though he was referred to as an animal in the middle and trying its best to disband the situation from two individuals.
Looking behind him, he shakes his head at the mannerism of Draegul. Through gritted teeth, he shares a piece of his mind. "Could you let me settle this amicably you scaly beast?"
Draegul let out a chuckle at the words, patting Wae on the hair.
At that exact moment, Wae felt as though his self-confidence was thrown out the window.
The pat not only crumbled that but also reminded him of their difference in height and power level.
Aster burst intoughter looking at the remaining three who weren''t caught up in the squabble.
"Damn this is hrious," he exims.
Wae gulps, swallows what little self-respect he could gather, and brings their attention back to what was more important.
"Lord Hisha is in our presence, use a little bit of that brain of yours!" Wae barks at Vanas first, hoping to talk some sense into his friend.
Vanas raises a brow at the tone and manner in which Wae¨Cas a Lycan spoke to him.
"For someone lower in the hierarchy, you sure have a sharp tongue." Vanas hisses.
Wae gives a half-shrug, not bothered by his words. "You need to address how you speak or get yourself killed while learning the hard way."
Draegul nods his head, taking advantage of the situation like a pro and not wasting any moment to feel important.
"You must be feeling high, huh? I wonder if that''s how you felt when your beloved Khaleesi was yed!"
? Draegul''s mood instantly darkens at the mention of the name.
Hisha gets to his feet at that instant, finally seeing that as the icebreaker.
"That''s enough!" Hisha''s voice booms enough to get their attention.
He had immediately gotten the information on the name from HTC and realized that Khaleesi had been Draegul''s mate who had been in by a human during the civil battle before he took control of the situation.
He could excuse any form of banter and exchange of words, but that was a delicate topic that he didn''t want to be touched.
As much as he would have wanted to see that shit go down between them, he wouldn''t want to waste his Sux on any repairs of his throne hall.
Draegul didn''t bother looking up at Hisha, instead had his gaze fixated on Vanas.
Hisha had to teleport them up the dias to have their seat in the mezzanine.
Vanas snickers at the mood his words had on Draegul.
''Maybe I was wrong to break up at that moment.'' Hisha thought with a sigh, shaking his head.
To break up the eerie silence between all of them, Hisha was the first to speak and hoped that they could get all that they had stored deep within.
Although he hated them for their misdeeds, the majority of them had utilized their positions for the best interest of their subordinates.
He couldn''t be at all ces at once and could see the importance of having little heads over a territory.
"I would count what I had seen as a preview of what I had suggested earlier..." Hisha announces.
"With that being a bit of a grudge let out, it would be in your interests if you refrain from escting to anything that could damage my property," Hisha concludes with a warning.
The tribal chiefs all lowered their heads in shame, no one able to speak on the issue anymore.
Understandably, Hisha sps his hand and smiles at them all. "Let''s begin, shall we?"
Pointing at Draegul, he nods for him to go ahead with his concerns.
At first, Draegul didn''t respond and simply fiddled with his ws, a need to draw blood slightly eating into his thoughts as he takes a nce at Vanas who had a smirk and a wiggling brow at him.
Chapter 173 Unpredictable Action Of Their Lord
Wiping down his face, Draegul tries to calm himself as he exhales.
"My lord..." He pauses, trying his best to think of his next words and how he could construct them in a way that would be meaningful.
Starting with his grudges, he raises his head and takes a nce at the remaining tribal heads.
Although he did try to be anonymous about his words, his gaze fixated on Vanas and a few times on Mich or Aster had been a warning sign for the three.
"I am not much of a talker..."
Hisha nods his head, understandably he was better off than the two who still sat silently with nods in agreement with Draegul''s words.
"I hate disturbances and wish to live simply..."
Draegul tilts his head as he stares at Vanas with an evil glint shing in his eyes, "any who ticks me off gets their fair share."
Vanas couldn''t help but feel amused by the words, winking in his direction.
It had taken him just a few minutes to have his broken jaw and nose healed and this had only boosted his morale on getting on the nerves of Draegul.
"What happens if that''s how the individual''s behavior is?" Vanas counters.
All facepalm at Vanas'' question, knowing he was speaking for himself.
"When that happens, you will have your answer." Draegul states coldly.
Turning his attention to Hisha, Draegul''s features soften.
[Charm+5]
Hisha blinks at the screen in front of him, it was unexpected for him to gain points from Draegul, and wondered what could have triggered it.
''Am I gaining their fear or is it just respect?'' Hw questions HTC.
[Both, the higher the fear and willingness to do as you please, the higher the charm points]
Hisha''s face fell at the exnation, it had only meant one thing, it was more respect from Draegul.
Thinking about it, he attributes it to him going out of his way to ask about their welfare.
"I seek vengeance on the individual who had taken the one who I loved." Draegul clenches his hand as his eyes glow in rage at the thought of the person being one of his overlord''s harem.
''Why the hell did this get allplicated?'' He thinks with regret.
Hisha furrows his brows as it had not been recorded as to who had killed Draegul''s beloved nor did it look like he was willing to say it.
Murmurs erupt among his tribal chiefs who all discuss who it could have been.
Wae on the other hand had a re fixated on Vanas, warning him not to provoke more than he could bite.
Taking the clue, Vanas rolls his eyes and scoffs but reluctantly agrees to the warning.
He had struck at a wound that had kept Draegul vengeful and majorly silent.
He still had his Countess and could not rte with most of them who had no spouse excluding Nezrugg and Elkhazel.
"Once I get my hands on the individual, death will be imminent!" Draegul concludes with the thought of Yuria in his grasp.
Hisha sweat drops at how deep the conversation was headed. ''Uhh does this dude not have woes? Troubles for crying out loud!''
Draegul blinks, realizing he had spoken a little out of his usual self, but could also not hide his despair and vengeful spirit, not after witnessing the very sword of his beloved used in battle.
Clearing his throat, he turns his attention to the main issue. "My people have suffered no casualties as we have maintained our peace and power rank for centuries."
Hisha''s smirk was clearly visible at the obvious bragging of the dragon tribal chief.
''Typical of the dragons and they are on an ind and it should be well protected as described, right, HTC?''
[They live up to their power level with a majority having outstanding prowess]
Those words felt like a stab to Hisha''s heart as he had not witnessed a single one of the harem who had to participate in being one of his tribe.
[The only downside to their females is that they can only maintain their prowess for a millennial, after that they are just like themon people with Sux at their disposal]
"How are your people managing the resources sent weekly?" Hisha randomly asks, his gaze firm.
Draegul stares at Hisha in shock, blinking in disbelief. ''This isn''t the same person who didn''t care about what we did or our people. What has changed?''
The rest of the tribal chiefs all stiffly turn their heads in Hisha''s direction, also in a state of surprise at the direct question.
This had been one of the reasons they had connived to have their overlord taken down¨Cthe fear of the unpredictable enemy enforcing rules only made them rebellious to have their desired freedom to do whatever they pleased.
Even if it meant the wholend would be thrown into anarchy, they were ready to tear down all that Hisha had built.
[Charm+5]

The repetition of the charm points reminded him so much about the desire points he could umte from his harem members and was grateful he could finally see what impact he was making on everyone.
"My lord, are you feeling well?" Draegul questions, feeling a bit uneasy by the question.
He could tell his question had turned all attention to him as they all stared at him with simr expressions.
It had also made him understand that some traits of the previous host weren''t that weed and he needed to iron them out.
''Only when they still prove to be rebellious after I have done my part, they will witness my wrath.'' Hisha concludes with his thoughts.
Instead of directly answering, he gives his answer in the form of a question. "Have I ever been ill?"
Silence.
They all stare at Hisha knowing he understood the motive behind the question.
"You can speak, I''m listening, Draegul." Hisha urges with a smirk.
"We are doing well thanks to the careful consideration." Draegul replies with a bow.
"I know you are doing well with your tribe. Anyints can be directly tendered to meter on." Hisha assures.
They had all their attention drawn to Vanas who was the next in line to be queried.
"What?! Why are you fuckers..." Vanas pauses at the indirect curse that includes their overlord.
''Fuck!'' He curses at his bad luck, averting his gaze elsewhere.
Chapter 174 You Or Your People?
Promptly changing his words before it could escte, "... you fuckers except Lord Hisha staring at me?!"
He lets out chuckles to mask the awkward tension he had created for himself.
"You are the fucking idiot who is next." Wae counters with augh, pointing at him to make the experience a lot more disturbing.
"My lord," Vanas calls out, looking down at his thighs.
"I don''t need to spell it out for you, right?" Hisha questions with his right brow corked.
Vanas scratches his head and has a smile spread out on his face.
Hisha could already tell that whatever he was going to say would be nothing but bullshit.
[Name: Vanas Waldron]
[Height: 187cm]
[Position: Chief of the Vampire tribe]
Vanasbs his hair through his maroon hair Inhaling and exhaling as his fangs contract and protrude as he yawns.
Giving a nod to signify he willply, he pulls out two fingers as though in a ''V'' sign.
"My lord, I have twoints, I will start with those before my woes."
Hisha nods, epting his approach and also internally wishing he wouldn''t spill out trash in the end.
Snickering with a dubious grin, Vanas adjusts in his seat.
Bringing down his middle finger. "My people are severely malnourished and might starve to death."
Putting his hand on his head and pretending as though he is severely hurt by his words.
Hisha corks a brow, his mouth slightly opened in disgust and confusion. He knew he gave out the dues that were about each tribe, it was either due to the fault of the tribal chief or the subordinates.
Vanas let out a moan in despair but had intentionally let out the wrong one.
Bang!
Draegul was the first to m his fist right through the armrest of his chair.
He didn''t speak but he could tell the others understood his reaction.
''What the heck is wrong with this vermin?!'' He wonders as he grits his teeth to calm his nerves.
"Don''t pick scales with me, goddamnit!" Vanas picks up a broken piece of wood and tosses it at Draegul''s face.
Watching it bounce off Draegul and sound as though it had hit a hard surface had him throw back his head and burst intoughter.
Hisughter dies down the moment he feels a hard re his way.
''Is he like the clown of the bunch?'' Hisha asks HTC, confused and disturbed by the actions of a few millennial man.
[There has to be an icebreaker, don''t you think so?]
''Pass."
Muttering to himself about how stiff the rest were, Vanas looks at Aster and clicks his tongue. "You act as though you all are trees or rocks."
Aster made sure to keep his cool and hope he could use the distraction as a way to gather enough experience.
Continuing with the act, Vanas converses. "We are severely malnourished and would need a fresh batch of¨C"
Wae was quick to deflect the words, provocation of their lord was out of the question.
"Vanas would you for once¨CNOT JOKE AROUND!!!" Wae hisses loudly.
Vanas thought about what was said and inadvertently agreed to the words¨Cfor ten minutes.
"My lord, the blood we consume, it''s not the blood itself but the taste. My people are getting picky about it, so we need a blood that is more ptable to them." Vanas exins.
[He is trying to y tricks with you, host]
HTC cautions, hoping Hisha could see through the ruse.
"Who is the one malnourished, you or your people?" Hisha tly responds.
Gulp!
Wae nods in agreement, and adds, "you don''t look like someone that needs blood to replenish that paleplexion of yours, although you could rub some to add a bit of color."
Vanas narrowed his eyes at his friend but couldn''t say a thing.
It suddenly dawned on him that this was a simr approach he had utilized on those who cared enough to be disturbed.
''So this is how it feels, huh?''
He let out a little chuckle, wiping down his face and epting his actions.
Vanas couldn''t keep stalling for much longer if he wanted to have the approval of Hisha intact.
Hisha let out a yawn, triggered by how little he had been doing, he got to his feet and walked to the back of his throne.
"My patience is thinning," Hisha warns, making a swirl with his fingers.
Gulp!
Vanas adjusts himself and speaks in a low tone and a forced smile.
"My lord, if we could just get somece, maybe a hunting zone we could use, even certainly creatures'' blood helps us replenish lost energy.''
Without a second thought, Hisha casts the idea aside and has Vanas spill out his true intentions.
Vanas looks down, having his hopes crumble before him, he is temporarily at loss for words.
"My people are getting picky as the change in our meal changes, some are rejecting meat altogether. I had tried to find a way to make it more appetizing to my people, but it''s proving to be harder than I thought." Vanas mumbles.
"Bwahahaha!!!!" Wae burst out into a peal of mockughter, pointing usingly at Vanas.
Vanas'' fangs protrude at the provocation, his red eyes glowing at the perceived threat to his pride.
Stopping, Wae wipes the stray tears from his eyes and exhales to stabilize his thoughts.
"Here I thought you all were prim and proper beasts, little did I know you''re in a bigger mess than how mine before." Wae mocks with his brows wiggling.
Draegul looks pleased with Wae''s tactics in dishing out simr tactics to Vanas.
''I hope you can see how I feel with your pointless taunts!''
"Well, I can say you need to find a blood with ss for your high white individuals." Wae continues.
Hisha lowered his head in slight disappointment, he didn''t know if he should me himself for suggesting what felt like an eternity that could have been used for some lust-filled activity.
His mind temporarily trails to having a pleasant moment with Sra. At that same moment, he stares at his chair while deep in thought.
[Now you do realize, host?]
HTC deadpans, wondering when its host woulde to realize there were some he had conversed with that were in the same situation.
''Do I have to?'' Hisha mumbles in his thoughts, slightly skeptical about going through with it even if he would have to one way or another.

Chapter 175 It Came From Your Tribe?
[If you think you don''t have to, just remember that you aren''t the only one who wants this]
HTC couldn''t believe it would be teaching its host such things, given he had gained enough experience to deduce what his harem would need.
[You had done the same to Pesa and restricted her to just experiencing a bit just like Sra]
Hisha bites on his bottom lip, feeling it was true and he had made a mistake in keeping them to himself and yet not attending to their needs.
Temporarily looking up as the two banter and point fingers, Hisha used the opportunity to face a few of his inner demons.
''HTC I don''t want to get attached to the wrong set ofdies.''
[...]
''I had thought I could keep them until an official bond was verified just like Alta.''
[My deductions are based onpatibility and not truly love at the first instance, host.
A subus can never be unfaithful once she has her eyes on her mate, this prompted my calctions to match you both]
Hisha''s eyes bulge at the revtion, his hand firmly gripping the armrests as he mutters to himself, "I see."
Wae and Aster pick up on those little words spoken and whip their heads in his direction.
Raising his head, Hisha decides to switch up the topic. "How would you describe your rule over your tribe?"
Vanas looked serious, contemting something.
After a lot of internal deliberations, Vanas finally speaks. "I am more of a tribal head they see as a way out of the confinement that binds us."
The cryptic words didn''t go unnoticed by Hisha. "What did you say about confinement?"
Vanas forces a smile and refuses to speak on what he meant, with a promise that he wouldter on when the rest aren''t present.
''Dickead is always pretending as though he''s smart.'' Hisha chuckles at the mannerism of Vanas.
"Any grudges?" Hisha pries further.
Vanas gets to his feet with a wicked grin, walking over to Draegul.
Standing in front of him, he ces his right foot on the armrest and has his voice as cold as possible.
Draegul''s eyes widen in disbelief as Vanas'' fangs extend.
I wouldn''t call it a grudge, but scores to settle with my friend here."
''Who the hell would want to be friends with you?!'' Draegul scrunches his face in disgust.
Wiggling his brows, Vanas was quick to chip in, "don''t disgrace your ol'' pal."
Draegul''s eyes furrow at the perceived disturbance once more, muttering under his breath. "You should have known better than to pick a fight with me, you little shit."
"I would never pick a fight with you, high and mighty Drachief." Vanas mocks with low chuckles.
Dropping his feet to the floor, he raises his hands in surrender as he turns to Hisha.
"That''s about it, my lord."
Hisha rubs his chin and responds. "Yourint is about the change in blood taste and the scores to settle is about riling up Draegul?"
Vanas nods.
"I will have a wordter on with him and see if we can find a solution," Hisha promises, his voice low and full of authority.
"Thank you, my lord." Vanas says, bowing his head in respect and shing a grin on Draegul''s way.
Before Wae could speak, Vanas was quick to point at him, "don''t you think you''d escape your turn if you don''t say anything?"
Wae''s eyes widened in surprise, he was about to speak when Vanas continued.
"I''m not going to let you get away with your silence, so speak up, our lord awaits your response."
Wae''s face turned red as he tried to think of something to say, knowing the rest could already tell what was going on with his people
"We Lycans have had issues with feeding and I will admit it was a bit of my fault..."
''That''s right, own it or you get serious setbacks from the contract.'' Hisha cackles in his thoughts.
"... it''s all thanks to lord Hisha that I finally get to see the need to act less selfish and start caring for others."
"That''s all?" Vanas asks, his voice full of sarcasm.
"Yes, my lord," Wae answers with a smile, hoping Vanas would let it go.
"Any grudge you have against your fellow tribal chiefs or someone in particr?" Hisha asks, looking at each of them.
Looking over to Aster, Wae takes pauses whilst remembering his stone table destroyed during the feast.
''It''s all in the past.'' He repeats in his head.
Shaking off the thought, Wae dismisses the idea with a smile. "I don''t have any grudge, my lord."
Hisha nods, feeling he was telling the truth since he did not react whatsoever from the blood contract. "I believe you."
Wae''s mood elevates from the trust he had garnered.
[Charm+15]
Aster clears his throat, ready to respond as the next in line.
"As you all know, my tribe has coexisted with the goblins who had helped create our magnificent infrastructure, we had lived in rtive peace until the hobgoblins..."
"Hobgoblins?" Wae interject, feeling as though it sounded familiar enough for him to taste it.
''Where have I heard that name?'' He thinks while rubbing his chin.
Aster continues, hoping his exnation could shed more light on the situation.
"Yes, they are a race of goblins that have taken over and killed off the majority of the goblin tribes during their civil war."
"Wait for a second!" Vanas pinches the bridge of his nose whilst trying to keep up with the information. "You all heard what he said, right?"
He takes a nce at the rest and lets out a bitterugh in disbelief.
"So, you''re saying those shit things came from your tribe?!" Vanas blurts out, his red eyes glowing with brooding rage.
He had originally thought the creatures to be an unknown phenomenon that had sprung up and attacked Kurg randomly.
Then it suddenly began to make a lot of sense as he recalled how Aster had acted seconds before the attack.
"You could feel it, yet you chose not to warn any of us?!!" Vanas barks and gets to his feet.
His eyes trail down to the tug on the hem of his shirt by Draegul.
''What the hell?!''
"Let go!" He hisses through grit teeth, "don''t act as my close bud right now, I wish for a bit of peace from you too."
Adamant on his decision, Draegul shakes his head and warns with eyes full of worry, "don''t"
Vanas'' fangs extend and he snarls at the hindrance from Draegul, torn between moving further and ultimately destroying one of his favorite pieces of clothing.
Aster has cold sweat trailing down his head as he hopes to have Vanas restrained.
Vanas had been a rollercoaster of emotions and he had frankly wished the yful side returned.
"It''s because of him we suffered casualties a few days ago!" Vanas barks, hoping this could convince Draegul to let go.
''So unpredictable, too loud.'' Hisha scoffs in his thoughts, rubbing the side of his face to calm his nerves.
[He still banters like a child]
Having had enough of his behavior, Hishamands with a low undertone. "Sit."
Those words were like a sword at his heart, forcing Vanas to Reluctantly sit down, his fangs retracting as he looked at Aster with a frown.
''Be thankful we aren''t in a room without lord Hisha.''
"You may continue, Aster," Hisha instructs, his eyes fixed on him.
"I had thought they could never break the seal that was used by the elders in my tribe to keep the hobgoblins at bay."
"Well it would interest you that your elders didn''t do a good job, now did they?" Vanas asks, his voice low and his fangs still out.
Ignoring hisment, Aster gave a nod to Hisha, understanding he knew more about the situation from the book handed to him.
"We will get their whereabouts and take care of them, don''t worry," Hisha assures, his voice full of confidence.
"Thank you, my lord," Aster says, bowing his head.
''I will get my hands on that book, then it''s all over!'' Asterpletes his thoughts.
"What about the goblins?" Hisha asks, looking at Aster.

Chapter 176 Prejudice
Aster looks at his overlord, "they have been busy with their problems, I''m not sure what they have been doing."
Hisha could almost feel as though if Grut was present it could go ballistic at the mention of the rtively peaceful condition of the goblins and the unfair stories about them.
Concluding before being asked, Aster states not having any ounce of grudge as they are nothing but mundane creatures. "I don''t believe they will be a problem, my lord."
A thought on Lancaster''s being the only source of stress that Aster could encounter, he nods his head in agreement.
"Well, I guess we should get to the point of why we''re here," Hisha states, looking at them.
Mich looks around, feeling uneasy and frightened of him being the next to speak.
''What is going to happen if they find out I got a grudge against a mermaid that gave me a crippling blow at the time?''
[It seems the Merchief is having nightmares of that unfaithful day]
Hisha bit down on his bottom lip, holding back augh at his system''s words.
It was indeed true that there were only a selected few who knew about the condition that had gued him.
''He looks like he could explode anytime soon if he is forced to tell the truth by the contract.'' Hisha converses with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Wae had also noticed the change in the mood of his friend and gently ced a finger on his shoulder.
Something felt a bit off and yet so familiar about the way Mich acted. They both felt under intense pressure, unlike the rest who were either calm like Draegul or carefree like Vanas.
''He must have been ced under the contract as I was.''
Ahem!
Mich reluctantly raises his head, feigning ignorance.
He was about to speak when he was interrupted by Hisha raising his hand.
"Mich, would you like to share what happened while I visited yournd?"
Mich blinks several times before finally grasping what was asked.
''Is he trying to cover up for me?''
[Charm+20]
A grin spread across her lips as he could only think of the points he would have amassed after the day ran out.
Inhaling and exhaling, Mich could only be eternally grateful for the excuse that was provided.
"You all might have not known this but there was a time my people were gued by a puppet master that made use of their bodies as its host."
Draegul was the first to scoff at the story, not bothering to question what was told.
Vanas raises a brow and looks around at the rest, wondering if he should speak or just stare in silence at the rest.
Hisha let out augh at the various reactions garnered from his tribal chiefs. "You all were introduced to goblins, surely a puppet master shouldn''t be strange."
Feeling he needs to round off his words, Mich briefly gets to the point and channels his anger towards the person who had attacked while he had some ''pressing issues'' that needed his attention.
''What a fucking embarrassing situation for me and being under the care of Kenna.''
They all switch gazes between him and Hisha, realizing their lord had single-handedly defeated the menace.
With a proud smirk, Hisha nods his head to the unprecedented praise he got from Mich.
The tribal chiefs all give a knowing stare at one another, wondering if their goal had changed for their lord.
With some wavering, it was difficult to know who was true to them at that moment.
Finalizing his desire to exact revenge, he subconsciously blurts out. "I will get what''s mine, even at the cost of half my life!"
Vanas couldn''t help but burst intoughter at that cringe line. "Says the shit face that lost that which was ''precious''."
Hisha had to put up a stoic face to counter the same attitude that Vanas disyed.
He could understand all that was said and knew he was referring to the pearl and Melody.
''Should I tell him?'' Hisha teases his system.
[If you wish to cause some chaos, be my guest]
''Nah, I''d wait it out, see how foolish he can be.''
Mich''s lips draw into a thin line as he awaits Hisha''s verdict.
Getting the approval he could rx, he shes a grin at the rest, pleased with himself for scaling through without revealing that embarrassing memory.
''Thank you, lord Hisha.'' Mich thinks with a smile broad on his lips.
[Charm+10]
''Finally, we''re onto the main two that need screening.
"Now, what about the rest of you?" Hisha asks, looking at the others.
Elkhazel and Nezrugg are silent, their eyes fixated on the floor.
"I will not ask you to speak, I just want you to know that I have tried to help you in my way."
"I understand, thank you, my lord," Elkhazel says, his voice low.
Nezrugg is thest to speak, his voice a bit hoarse whilst clearing his throat.
Hisha nods, his eyes glued on Nezrugg.
As an Ogre, his heavily grayish-pale skin was covered in scars along his body. His arms were heavily scarred, showing signs of the gruesome battles he had fought.
He looked like a monster straight out of hell with his right eye green and the right light brown.
The fact that he spoke in such a soft tone was something else altogether. It seemed unnatural considering the appearance of the beast sitting beside him.
His hair was cker than night itself, giving a sense of gloominess whenever someone saw those locks. Those strands hung loosely atop his shoulders, making his entire look seem rather unkempt.
That wasn''t enough to make anyone underestimate him, however; instead, it added more weight to the aura radiating from his presence.
''Character status.'' Hisha orders while having his eyes glued to the screen that pops up.
[Name: Nezrugg Bronzeforge]
[Height: 191cm]
[Position: Chief of the Ogre tribe]
''What an interestingst name.'' Hisha smirks at the information he had gotten, he also wondered if this was Nezrugg''s true form as opposed to a majority of his tribal chiefs and their tribe.
Nezrugg shook his head, picking at his words to voice out his concerns but to no avail as they were more of grunts and mumbled sounds that were mixed with the little coherent words he could muster.
''HTC, can I get a way of trantion? This will be a nuisance if it''s the same with the hobgoblins.'' Hisha voices his concerns.
[Trantion... loading...]
''Atst, this won''t be some sort of foolish talk and bber here.'' Hisha breathes a sigh of relief.
Ding!
[This can only work for those who are subjected to you]
''Which means that if they aren''t like the hobgoblins, then I''m still going to be clueless until I have them ept my rule.''
[What a smart host!]
After a few grunts and mutters mixed up, Hisha was slowly hearing the words clear up and make a whole lot of sense.
After hearing every word uttered, Hisha understood most of them thanks to his natural affinity with thenguage bestowed by his system.
The tribal chiefs all gawk at the capability of their lord to quickly pick on what Nezrugg said.
This didn''t escape the Ogre''s attention as he paused in his speech, shocked by the revtion. "You can understand all I say, my lord?"
Hisha nods his head in understanding and smiles at the fact he had gotten a bit of what he had wanted from Nezrugg voicing out his concerns.
[Charm+5]
Nezrugg''s smile at the promising turn of events had him speak at a more rapid pace since he knew Hisha could understand and would definitely follow it up.
To his amusement, Hisha realized the majority had treated the Ogres unfairly due to their appearance and daunting height.
''Shallow-minded idiots, but then they are very discriminative in Straton anyways.'' Hisha thinks while he rolls his eyes at the sad reality that supersedes every timeline or zone.
[The racial prejudice is no joke in Straton and it''s still innate reasoning among the rest]
Looking over to Wae, Hisha wasted no time in reminding him of his deration. "How can they treat you worse off than the Lycan tribe?"
Wae''s body stiffened at the reminder, biting down on his bottom lips to suck up the hurt of his pride as the rest all looked at him with questioning brows.
Chapter 177 A Deal With Vanas
This couldn''t escape Vanas'' reaction. "What the heck was I thinking?! You should know your current ce, my friend."
''Curses to you and your generation!'' Wae barks in his thoughts, ring daggers at Vanas.
Hisha chuckled inwardly upon realizing that none of them took notice of their actions nor did they bother learning anything about themselves other than their name, positions, and a few of their power ranks.
Even now, despite having seen their abilities firsthand, many still doubted the Ogres based solely on appearances alone.
This included the likes of the citizens of Straton and others.
This might have been exactly the reason why the previous host chose these particr ones since they weren''t afraid to stand against adversity, much less challenge him directly with their abilities.
"How do you feel living amongst us?" Hisha asks, curious about his response.
Answering honestly, Nezrugg replies, "we''ve lived alongside other tribes ever since our birth until today. We grew ustomed to seeing different races together as friends."
Looking between each member of the tribal chiefs, he continued talking.
"My race has never been aggressive toward any species unless provoked beyond measure. If wee across a hostile individual then we''ll retaliate ordingly."
There was a brief pause where everyone stared at one another, almost as though they were guilty of perpetrating one act of the other.
"Just what I like to hear." Hishamends.
Nezrugg bows his head and looks to Elkhazel.
''Thest one.'' Hisha makes a mental note as he watches the Elf tribal chief smirk at it finally getting to him.
His fair skinpliments his silver hair perfectly well, yet whenpared next to his fellow tribe mates, everyone seemed dull inparison to the exquisite handsome look.
His beautiful hazel orbs glimmered brightly in contrast. They gave off a sense of calmness that helped ease the tension within him.
His ck feathery coat over an equally ck striped long-sleeved shirt and pants stood out above the rest, ring outwardwards slightly as it made contact with the ground below.
Elkhazel''s pointy ears twitched slightly as he picked up the slight change in the wind.
''This seems nice, one big family.'' He thought, not bothering to look at the rest.
Being scary quiet as he was, rivaling Draegul as he barely made any contribution or words, his lips drew into a thin line.
He felt rxed after speaking with the Lord, d that things turned out better than expected given how hard he worked to gain eptance from their new leader. The thought brought a faint hint of warmth throughout him before fading away once again.
Hisha raises a brow at Elkhazel and immediately requests a character status.
[Name: Elkhazel Zinjeon]
[Height: 174cm]
[Position: Chief of the Elf tribe]
''For someone who is considered an elf, he looks more human though.''
[The High Elf King is considered one of the most handsome of all tribal territories... excluding you and your charms]
Hisha let out a chuckle at the quick save from his system. He couldn''t even care less if he wasn''t considered handsome.
But there was something about him that felt oddly off and unsettling.
"Lord Hisha, I and my people have lived in rtive peace and have lived one with nature..." Hemences with a bow.
''Typical.'' Hisha rolls his eyes and nods his head.
"... and as such, we hold no grudge against any individual." He concludes.
Silence!
Hisha stayed quiet for a while, taking in the exaggerated words mixed with lies.
''All he needs is a blood contract.'' Hisha deadpans in his thoughts.
It was excusable that the others had hidden one thing inmon¨Ctheir impossible n to overthrow him and rid him of his power.
The only one he hated was disyed by Elkhazel. So far, he had been the only one who had not shown signs of plotting against him, with no envious stares, remarks, or going out of line when it came to his rule over hisnd.
''There''s definitely more to this than is realized.''
Observing the looks on the rest of his tribal chiefs, he notes the shocked looks that were reced with a mischievous glint after Elkhazel had spoken.
''My next target.'' Hisha makes a mental note with a smirk.
[How do you n on trapping him, host?]
''I''ll think of something. I always do.''
"If any of you have any cause forint be sure to let me know and I would investigate and have it fixed," Hisha suggests.
"Thank you, lord Hisha!" They all reply in unison.
"That would be all for now," Hisha announces to everyone as he gets to his feet.
Opening up a portal that each led to their respective territories, he nods his head and waits for them to go through.
Waking through, it immediately closes.
Zwp!
Bang!
Pushed back and away from the portal, Vanas is thrown back to the floor.
''What the fuck is that?'' He snarls at the unfair treatment when it was his turn.
Seeing a shadow cast above him, he looks up only to stare straight at Hisha''s glowing eyes.
Unconsciously letting out a yelp in surprise, he looks ahead only to see the portal close up.
Zwwp!
"M... My lord?" Vanas pushes back and gets to his knees to bow in reverence.
Hisha deactivates the glow in his eyes and shakes his head in disappointment.
Turning around, he gets to his seat and crosses his leg.
"Do you know why you were chosen to stay behind?"
Reluctantly shaking his head, Vanas wonders how he could remotely know that answer.
"Good."
''Good?'' Vanas tilts his head to the strange hidden meaning.
"As much as your personality is fitting for your race, extremely overdoing it would lead to a serious punishment."
Vanas looks to the floor, slightly disappointed that he had found himself in such a situation and was left to fend off for himself.
"I apologize, my lord. I will be more considerate." Vanas lowers his head.
Hisha nods and continues, "that isn''t why you were chosen."
Beckoning him forward, Hisha points to the nearest chair.
Cowering in fear, Vanas has second thoughts about going through with the n.
"I won''t kill you." Hisha jokes, hoping to put him at ease.
Sitting down on the chair, Vanas'' hands drum on the armrest, and his legs shake in fear, waiting for the mysterious reason.
Hisha grins as he offers, "I will give you a task, if you canplete it within a week, I have a reward you wouldn''t want to miss."
Vanas'' mood was instantly elevated by the promise of a reward and the fact he had been specifically chosen for the task.
"I''m all ears, lord Hisha." Vanas leans forward with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

3 hourster,
''What are my stats currently?'' Hisha calls out.
[Name: Lord Hisha]
[Level: 1007]
[Height: 185cm]
[Position: Supreme Overlord]
[Ability: Replicate]
[Sux: 1000/1000]
[Meretrix: 3]
[Points: 266000]
[Exp: 53]
[Total number of your harem: 6167]
Hisha blinks at a full Sux stat, ''I didn''t engage today, how sad."
[You should be d that today was a better day than the rest]
''I need my raw carnage level up and running, that temptress won''t wait, would she?''
[She has never waited, nor have you gotten an idea of her main ns]
HTC teases with a smirking emoji.
''Stop sowing doubts in my mind about where your loyalty lies.'' Hisha chastises.
Flexing his biceps, he takes a look at his reflection. "That''s some ripped body, right there."
[You sound like a narcissist, host]
''Let me appreciate myself even if it''s just a bit, HTC.
[...]
Rxing, he facepalms, realizing how stupid he felt after doing that.
''HTC, it''s time tomence my n.''
[Now? It''ste at night. What do you n on doing with that by this hour?]
''Aren''t you meant to be happy about the deduction of the points?'' Hisha cocks a brow.
[Do I consume the points? Do I get females like you?! Does it upgrade my system, HOST?!!!!]
Hisha covers his ears, chuckling at the reaction from his system.
''You''re cute when you are angry.'' Hisha teases with a grin.
shing a huge angry emoji on the screen, Hisha repeatedly closes the user interface that obstructs his vision.
''Could you stop that and grant my request?''
HTC obliges and puts a devilish emoji before it questions Hisha.
[What request, host?]

Chapter 178 A Visit To Cause Chaos
''HTC, could you cut the crap and make this less difficult for me.''
[You would still need to choose what you need, host. That''s the rule]
''Set by who?!'' Hisha snaps, slightly irritated he would need to repeat his actions.
A part of him wondered if it was natural to keep having a push and pull with his system.
[Would you like to request, host?]
Hisha looks out the window, letting out a sigh at the full moon illuminating his room.
''Without doing this now, there''s no way I can achieve this, ever!''
Hisha crouched on the floor, thinking of the fact that he needed to swallow his pride and bend to the request.
''HTC, what''s the highest time limit purchase that could be used?''
[... Loading...]
Beep!
[What item, host?]
''Goddamnit!'' Hisha cursed in his thoughts and facepalms at his trick question still not working.
[Nice try, host]
A sh of a devilish smirking emoji was shown on the screen.
pping his hands in eptance of the defeat, he nods his head to reply.
''A disguise mask... you stupid system!'' He hisses with a smirk at the change of emoji to a frown.
[...]
''Don''t you dare look pissed, isn''t this meant to be a normalnguage when the victim is guilty?''
[I have no words for you, host]
''Sure, but do answer my question. I do have confidence that you will remember what I asked this time, right?''
[The highest time limit for purchase would be 48 hours for a disguise mask]
Hisha rubs his chin at the thought of that being to his benefit. ''Two days...''
Ding!
[Disguise mask avable]
[Cost of purchase: 24000 points]
[Time limit: 48 hours before it wears off]
''I would like to purchase a 48 hour time limit.''
[Disguise mask purchased]
[umted points: 242000]
''Perfect!'' Hisha cackles in his thoughts.
As expected, a ck mask dropped on his palm.
Unlike thest time he had been heavily critical, he knew what he needed to do and ced it on his face.
The open half covered up his face by the branching part of itself to the right.
He felt a surge of Sux course through him. ''Another adventure with lots of unpredictability!''
Walking over to the mirror to get a glimpse at the slit-eyed mask, heughed at the fact that anyone who didn''t know him personally would mistake him for someone else.
In front of him was the holographic timer shing in his face with its countdown.
[48:59:05]
[How about Kritz... would you encounter him once more? Would you be on the run again?]
Hisha shook his head with a proud smirk on his lips beneath the mask. "He would definitely know what''s going on, although not where I am going, but he would have an idea of what I n on doing since I chose to mask myself.''
[If you say so, host]
cing his hand on the sill, he cast a gaze down at the long distance from where he was and to the creeping vines on his wall.
"I don''t wish to be seen by those two annoying guards stationed below." Hisha voices out his disdain for a repeat of that incident.
[Ferad is the chief guard and Ron, host?]
Hisha rolls his eyes, shaking his head, ''I didn''t ask for that information.''
[I know, host. It is fun to mess with you]
''Typical of a desire system. You desire to torment me, huh?''
[If you don''t slip and fall, then yes there won''t be a repeat]
Hisha nodded his head, but before he could make use of the vines to slide down, he had a question that he had been curious about.
''Can I use my ability while being alone?''
[Sure you can, as long as you aren''t within eye range of another individual]
"Great!" Hisha exims out loud with a mischievous grin.
''HTC, the gender I can be seen as, please tell me it''s just males.'' He looks longingly at his interface, hoping to get a favorable response.
[Negatory]
The shock from the revtion had him push back in shock and fear, ''hell no!''
Cold sweat trails across his forehead upon realizing that he had been lucky to be seen as a male while exploring Straton.
''What if I was seen as male and some hot chick they knew? I would have been hit on by horny dogs?''
Hisha cringes and shrugs off the horrid thought from his mind.
[You should have met Mich, he would have been delighted to see you]
Hisha''s brows furrowed at the thought and made a strangling gesture as though he could do so on HTC.
''Is there a way to ensure I maintain being seen as a male that''s recognizable?''
[There is only one way...]
Hisha''s lips drew into a thin line, almost certain he could guess what it was¨Chis precious points.
''How many will be ripped off my bnce?''
[100000 will be deducted for the 48 hours time limit]
''Ha! Yup my points surprisingly go into shit that I create for myself.'' He bickers, disturbed by the news but also understanding that it is to his benefit in the end.
[It can be turned off if you wish to use whatever gender you might appear as to your advantage. It might be useful to use the feminine charms that could get the target]
Hisha cocks a brow at the suggestion, giving it a thought, he chooses to go with being male. He could deactivate it, so that was a bonus he hoped he would never make use of.
''I give my consent.'' He finalizes with a nod.
[Gross! That sounds off point, host]
Tired of his system''s antics, Hisha chastises. ''HTC anymore trash out of you, I''ll render you useless!''
Ding!
[Male reconfiguration purchased]
[umted points: 232000]
Beep!
[Disguise mask: Online]
[Reconfiguration: Online]
[Time: 48:47:02]
Hisha let out a sigh of relief, ''you could have warned me before I encountered some ufortable situation, HTC!''
[You wouldn''t want a bit of fun, host?]
Refusing to respond to its words, Hisha opens a portal leading to Radomir.
[Are you trying to ignite chaos?]
''The very thing that I crave, and possible destruction, murder would be nice.''
[Grut has influenced you to love violence]
HTC put up a sighing emoji, wishing its host could return to being lustful.
''I need that information before she decides to strike or more people get missing, HTC. I have to do this.''
Getting close to the portal, Hisha looks back onest time before giving a nod and walking in.
*****
Radomir¨CVampire territory,
Built on the top of a mountain, the castle¨Cthe central focus of Radomir is home to vampires led by Vanas.
At first nce, it seems to be a grand castle, but upon closer inspection, there are signs of neglect in the outer walls.
The castle is built around the perimeter of the mountain, making the structure seem as though it was carved out of the rock itself.
The grand castle seemed to give off an aura of power and wealth, radiating through every nook and corner. The entrance gate stands wide open weing anyone who wishes to enter.
A few guards stand guard outside; their eyes scanning everyone entering. They wear heavy armor and carry swords over-their shoulders. Their faces were hidden behind dark masks and their red eyes glowed which gave them a menacing look.
A pair of armored knights stood beside each other, their fangs and ws barred and more pronounced ready to ward off any attacking towards them.
They donned ck cloaks tied together with red ribbons. On either side hung tworge axes hanging down from leather belts across their backs. Each knight had a short hair cut cleanly above the ears while one sported a long mustache running along his jawlines. Both wore full-face helmets covered entirely except for eye slits where they looked straight ahead without blinking.
Hisha walks up to the gate, wondering why his portal had taken him to the front gates leading to the territory.
[The same principle that guides you from being attacked by any who might have a teleportation ability is the very one that prevents you from jumping into their fortress without either the tribal chief being there or uninvited]
Hisha cringes at the thought of this being a bane to his ns. Letting out a sigh, he nods his head to ept this as his defense.
''Since I am using the disguise mask, I assume I can''t teleport unannounced and I might soon lose my buff.''
[That is correct]
Sigh!
A chill ran down his spine the moment he looked up at the knights who had cast a re his way.
Gulp!
Chapter 179 Welcome To Torture Tavern
Their gazes had followed him till the gates.
''Am I screwed?'' Hisha thought in a panic, shing a grin at them to lighten the mood.
All he had hoped was for the knights to have anyone with whom they could have formed a bond to know personally as they stared at him.
[There is nothing wrong with your disguise, host. Maintain your confidence and all should be well]
Exhaling and nodding, Hisha raises his head high and holds their gaze.
In an instant, his bodynguage showed no fear nor did it show aggression. It just oozes confidence and dominance like a predator stalking prey.
As if sensing something about to happen, both Knights turned away looking elsewhere leaving only one standing still staring right past Hisha. His face remained expressionless until finally turning to follow suit after seeing the others turn their attention somewhere else. He then turns back to see what caught their interest.
After taking another step forward, Hishsa sees someone approaching wearing robes simr to those worn by the knights. A hood covers her entire upper half hiding everything below the neckline. She wears gloves covering most parts of her hands apart from her fingers. Her lower legs are also concealed under thick cloths held tightly against her ankles. Only the tips of pale toes peek out between folds of fabric.
She has a slender build and appears voluptuous enough to make even men drool. Many would mistake her for some sort of subus given how seductive she appeared with little to see.
However, the woman''s beauty wasn''t limited to external appearance alone. There was a hint of intelligence within her features, almost reminding him of a young girl ying dress up pretending to be royalty.
Her pale skin tone matched hers, yet unlike the rest of the tribe members, she didn''t appear scary. Instead, her figure showed curves in ces women normally wouldn''t possess unless they worked hard to achieve such form.
''HTC, are vampiress these tempting?'' Hisha questions with keen curiosity.
[Recalling the first fight, you would see that is far from the case]
Hisha stares at her, wondering why the silence between thedy and the knights was prolonged.
She gives a signal to both guards and they nod their heads in response. Raising her head to give a glimpse of her red eyes glowing beneath the veil, a mischievous grin shed by.
''What''s that supposed to mean?'' Hisha raises a brow at her odd behavior.
[The vampires are an unpredictable tribe. Although the mask would fool them, they are smart enough to sense something off only if you show it]
Hisha nods his head and puts up an expressionless face before subconsciously pointing a finger at the female.
She nods and transforms into a bat to fly towards the castle.
The knights share a knowing look, they finally parted ways after seeing no threat.
''Could this have been as a result of thatdy''s presence?''
As soon as Hisha entered the city, he sees several vampires roaming about carrying loads of goods that dripped with dark brown blood and mold growing on its body.
Cringing to the disgusting sight, Hisha tries to distract himself and look the other way.
''Could that have been what Vanas mentioned about them rejecting the meat?'' Hisha wonders as his eyes follow suit of those passing by.
Some even stopped mid-stride staring at him like a piece of prey caught between predator and hunter. Others walked past not sparing another nce. Those who did stop stared at him intently until eventually moved away once again.
''They might be wondering why I look like someone they know but it appears they can''t say.'' Hisha jokes but to avoid more stares, he pulls on his hood.
He noticed many different genders and age groups mingling among themselves.
The vampires carried weapons strapped onto their backs or arms. Many held daggers tucked under armpits or worn openly dangling from waist belt loops. While others used knives attached to chains wrapped tightly around wrists. Several wielded bows strung tight enough to draw arrows within seconds.
Amazed by how the vampires freely moved with weapons, he couldn''t help but ask, ''Is there some sort of battle I''m not aware of?''
[They are defensive creatures, it''s fairly natural, host]
There were also several females dressed simrly to males wearing chain mail underneath skirts made of cloth. All of whom appeared well-trained inbat.
There was activity going on inside the streets as it was night hours. People rushed here and there doing whatever business needed to be done during such times. It wasn''t umon to hear loud voices filled with anger echoing throughout the area.
Walking through the streets without a purpose wasn''t what he had nned and needed a ce where people could gather so he decided to find a tavern. The closest ones are located near the gate leading outside the walls.
[Do you remember what happened thest time you went to a tavern?]
''Don''t bring that up, besides it was all Kritz and that silly mistake.''
[Of course, host]
HTC sarcastically replies with a rolling eyes emoji.
''Before I begin with my ns, I need a ce toy my head and can regroup.''
[48:24:00]
It took less than ten minutes to walk down the street when he saw a signboard hanging above a building with words written across its surface.
"Torture Tavern - Open 24/7".
A smile forms upon his lips as he reads aloud: "Open all day long."
His mind wanders while reading further down the signboard;
¨C We serve food and drinks!
¨C Come enjoy our delicious meals prepared daily using fresh ingredients sourced locally!
''Let me guess, the majority would be seasoned with blood.'' Hisha deadpans sarcastically. He then looks back at the entrance, noticing two figures standing side by side looking outwards.
Both wore ck cloaks over their shoulders making it difficult to tell them apart. One stood slightly tallerpared to the other, however, neither looked old nor young¨Cas expected of vampires. Their faces remained hidden behind masks adorned with intricate designs painted along their surfaces.
One of the cloaked individuals turns to stare straight ahead, revealing half of his face covered in white hair. His mouth opens wide showing sharp teeth protruding from his gums. A pair ofrge fangs jutting forth from the lower jaw line.
While the second one has short cropped blonde locks covering most of his skull except for the sides of his forehead which show signs of baldness.
Unlike the first figure whose features remain concealed beneath the mask, thetter reveals his entire visage ¨C a handsome man sporting facial tattoos. Both men wear leather armor decorated heavily with gold trimmings. Each holding swords nted downwards resting against hips. They both carry bags containing various items tied together by rope.
After observing them closely, Hisha notices something odd about these two strangers. There isn''t any trace of a sinister aura emanating from either of them despite having just met. In fact, they don''t seem bothered at all.
''Are they also here just to pass a day or two?''
[The majority sleep during the day and are up during the evening till the night]
''I see¡ So this must mean I''m safe since they aren''t hostile towards us. It''s best not to draw their attention.'' Hisha nods and forces a smile.
With no better options avable, he decides to enter the tavern hoping to get answers regarding the rumors he had heard from Vanas.
As soon as he steps foot inside, several patrons turn heads toward him causing everyone else present to do likewise. Some of them whispered amongst themselves before returning to their conversations.
Tugging at his hood, he lowers his head and whispers to himself. ''Lay low and investigate, they aren''t your target.''
Once seated at a table close to the door, he orders himself a drink.
mming two copper coins on the counter, he pushes it forward and points at a ss of wine above, eagerly awaiting someone to fetch his order.
Making circles with his fingers, he nces left and right seeing nothing unusual happening among those gathered.
He continues making the circles until he gets served. By now, many more customers have entered the establishment including women who look like prostitutes.
Most of them were sitting alone sipping away at what he considered alcohol. Others engaged in conversation withpanions. No doubt discussing matters concerning work and life.
Taking note of everything surrounding him, he observes every detail trying hard to keep calm even though he feels nervous due tock of information and is prone to switching his power rank as per how he would be seen.
"Here you go, Mr." A soothing female''s voice calls out after some moments.

Chapter 180 That Isnt Wine
Looking up, he sees a waitress approaching carrying a tray full of sses filled with red liquid. She is wearing a light brown dress trimmed around her waist exposing ample cleavage. Her skin is pale but smooth enough to make anyone wonder whether she wears makeup or not.
She ces three empty cups on the wooden tabletop next to him followed by a bottle of wine. cing the remaining four bottles beside one another nearby table, she leaves taking the coins ced beside the cup.
Holding onto her wrist, he speaks in a calm voice. "A beauty ought to have a name."
Looking over the counter at her employer, she received a nod of approval. Turning back to face him again, she replies, "My name''s Esme," shing a dazzling smile that makes him feel a tinge of connection.
[Host? What are you doing?]
''Shhh! I''m trying to get information one way or another.''
Hearing his response, she smiles wider disying perfectly aligned pearly whites with her fangs, skin, and her red eyes reminding him of her origin.
Taking hold of the neck of the bottle, she takes a sip of its contents letting it slide down smoothly through her throat. After swallowing, she wipes her chin clean with the sleeve of her uniform leaving only traces of lipstick smeared across her fleshy cheeks.
"Enjoy the rest of the evening!" She says with a wink. Walking past the bar where numerous drinks were lined neatly waiting to be consumed.
[Host, I don''t think that would be a good¨C]
Picking one of the cups, using the very bottle Esme had drunk from, and taking a sip of the ''wine''.
Pffft!
Hisha spits out the drink and looks in horror at the wine being diluted blood mixed with resveratrol and other spices.
[I did try to warn you host!]
''You could have done it sooner!!!'' Hisha screams in his thoughts.
Three things came to mind, why did he think drinking anything from a vampire tavern would be remotely just alcohol? What sort of blood was that¨Chuman, animal, creature?! And how does anyone manage to survive after consuming blood?!
[You took a DRINK off the counter from a beautiful waitress without verifying its content, host!!! Of course, your sense left with the beauty]
Hisha wasn''t given enough time to react to HTC''s words or the metallic taste in his mouth as he realized all attention was drawn to his unusual behavior. He quickly grabs his bag which is lying under the chair and pulls out a small dagger hidden within.
[How will that help you, host? They can heal!]
''So can I and I am still immortal! But I can never be too careful if I happen to get seen by some weird psycho and change into some weakling that can be restrained.''
Sliding it between his belt and pants, he stands up ready for action but instead finds himself surrounded by men wearing leather armor wielding swords and daggers. The leader standing tall holding a sword pointing directly at him.
"What business do you have?" His gruff voice booms throughout the room drawing curious stares from others around.
''You''ve got to be kidding me.'' Hisha rolls his eyes. In reply, he raises both hands showing he has no weapons concealed upon his person.
''HTC, how many people can see me as someone they know?''
[Once someone hasid their eyes on you, itsts for 30 minutes, as long as their attention is maintained you retain the form they are familiar with]
''Great!'' Hisha thinks with a smirk.
Wiping his mouth, he coughs and pretends to have spat out the wine because something was in his throat, showing the wooden cork from the wine bottle.
At that moment a few lost interest and walked off.
Hisha had thought it had been over, but when the man still had his weapon at him, he couldn''t help but curse at him in his thoughts. ''You fucking pale beast, why do you seek violence?''
[Would you stand back when someone acts out of the ordinary, especially to something your race is used to?]
''HTC, be a bit positive to me!''
[...]
The man growls loudly and threatens. "I said: WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE?!"
His tone bes louder and angrier with each second passing.
Not wanting to provoke any further trouble, he tries speaking calmly yet firmly. "Just looking for a ce toy my head and you, my friend, seem to have forgotten about me¡"
Pointing towards the bartender, he adds; "¡aren''t vampires meant to have good memories?"
With an angry expression still stered across his features, the lead warrior points behind him saying, "Get lost before we teach you manners! I am no one''s friend!"
''That easy? My luck!''
Hisha nods and turns, wishing not to start his night with a brawl at their peaks. ''You all are going to wish you hadn''t met me, mark my words¡''
It was at that moment he realized his mistake in choosing the disguise mask.
Closing his eyes momentarily, he lets out a disappointed sigh at how he couldn''t go back on the points he had invested.
''I''m held back by my poor choices.''
Cough!
Cough!
He quickly ces another coin on the counter ordering some water and food instead before coughing once more causing everyone present to turn their gaze away from him.
After finishing his order, he turns around to face the group which now looks less hostile than earlier.
''What do you think these groups want?''
[How about walking up to them to ask them that?]
Hisha''s deadpanned face was fixated on the screen with a slight hint of displeasure.
''Why didn''t I think of that?'' Hisha sarcastically replies.
Walking casually behind the bar, he spots an open door leading into the kitchen area. It leads outside so he decides against going inside untilter when there isn''t such a crowd.
Instead, he walks along the wall observing various rooms filled with tables and chairs. Some were upied whilst most remained vacant.
Taking notice of the different types of customers seated here and there, he notices two groups of individuals having heated arguments regarding his rule as an overlord.
One side iming as an overlord, he should stay true to what made him powerful during the war whereas the other argued otherwise stating power corrupts those who wield it and their overlord was going down that path slowly. They argue back and forth without taking heed of either party''s opinion.
''Unlike in Mertac, Winst, or Asrinth, the people from Radomir are having political discussions and in heated arguments over what they thought about all that had happened.'' Hisha observes.
They weren''t the barbaric kind he had thought they could be and were nearly as intellectual and civil as the humans.
[The higher the hierarchy, the higher their thinking capability¨Cexcluding the elves, what theyck in strength, they make up for strategy and brainpower]
Hisha nods and smiles at the information, feeling confident in his n working out perfectly.
A few moments pass by unnoticed by Hisha as he continues making his rounds. Taking note of the fact this city seemed devoid of guardsmen patrolling the streets, he wonders if that could be the reason the majority of its citizens are all wielding weapons.
[47:32:04]
Asking HTC, he learns that the majority of soldiers stationed in cities like this usually resided near the castle walls defending the gates and keeping intruders out rather than roaming through the town itself searching for criminals. This allowed them to focus solely on protecting the Count while leaving the rest of the city undefended.
''Stupid but usible.'' Hisha shrugs and walks off.
Another twenty minutes pass and Hisha makes several stops trying to find somewhere suitable to sleep other than the tavern for the night only toe up empty-handed every single time. Finally giving up after being turned away twice already, he returns to the tavern hoping to finally settle things peacefully.
[The all-powerful overlord gets turned down and now he returns to where he started with his tail tucked between his legs]
Upon entering the building again, he sees the same three warriors sitting together talking amongst themselves. One looks slightly olderpared to the other two.
All three appear tired due to recent events happening recently. Their conversation ends abruptly as soon as Hisha enters the room with his hoodie lowered by a mysterious wind.
Silence!
''Why the fuck is this happening to me?!'' He asks himself quietly as he tries to pull up his hoodie at the same moment he sees the leader approach him.

Chapter 181 A Night With My Beloved
"Kier?" The leader calls out in a whisper, his hand stretching out to reach for Hisha''s hair.
As his hand reaches toward Hisha, he lets out augh in disbelief at how realistic this was.
''It''s just the same, I finally found him, Vin.''
Before Hisha could question his system on who this person who he had changed to was, he was pulled into a tight hug.
"It really is you! You''re alive!" The leader exims happily hugging him tightly. "You''ve been gone too long."
Pulling back, he takes hold of Hisha''s shoulders looking deep into his eyes. His expression lightens up and he calls the other two to wee his cousin.
''Cousin?'' Hisha raises his brow at his user interface, stunned by the revtion but also disturbed as this could ruin his ns if they decide to have him on their team.
Opening their hands for a shake which was followed by hugs before getting introduced to the rest.
After introductions were done, the group sits around one of the wooden tables.
After some small talk and getting acquainted, Drac orders drinks for everybody which includes wine for Hisha.
[That''s some lovely wine]
''Shut it, HTC!'' Hisha snapped as cross-popping veins made their way to his forehead.
He brainstorms on possible ways to evade drinking the blood concoction since he didn''t want any moreplications right then and there. After much deliberation, he decided to fake being full just so nobody would force-feed him anything else tonight. It wasn''t ideal but better than nothing.
Drac stared at him for a while and shrugs the moment he realized how unpredictable his cousin had been at the time.
pping Hisha on the back, Drac let out augh. "Hahaha, that''s a good one, Kier."
He watches everyone drink theirs first and pulled all his willpower not to frown while doing so.
Once finished, Hisha decides to try again, hoping since he had finally taken the form of a vampire, he might have a change of thought.
Taking a sip of his ss filled with red liquid. ''This tastes strangely sweet...,'' he thinks as he stares with horror at his cup.
Noticing his sour face, Drac asked curiously, "What? Don''t tell me your taste buds aren''t used to it after such a long time."
Gulping his cup, Hisha coughs loudly causing the others to look at him oddly.
Looking up, he notices them staring at him with concern.
Shaking his head, he says, "I''m fine," forcing a smile onto his lips.
''I am so not fine! I had intentionally taken another and not sipped but gulp!!!''
[When do you enact your n, host?]
Dum!
Dum!
Dum¨CDum¨CDum!!!
Duuuuuuummmmmm!!!
The sound of drums echoes throughout the streets outside making the crowd stop what they were doing or simply turn their heads toward the source of the sound outside the tavern.
A few secondster, the drumming stopped along with the chanting voices until silence returned once again.
The crowd all get to their feet, with those who had lodged inside the tavern rushing out immediately upon hearing the sound. Others stayed put waiting patiently for whatever event will happen next.
Most importantly though, most of these vampires are curious about why something like this has happened.
A smirk ys on Hisha''s lips, knowing exactly when everything happens just as he had instructed Vanas.
*****
3 hours ago,
Walking through the city center, Vanas noticed many faces turning away from him in fear and dropping to their knees. This made him chuckle silently under his breath.
His body glowed brightly enough for anyone nearby to notice although no vampire below his rank can see past the veil of darkness.
"Long live Count and Countess." They all chorused loudly.
This had been a strange sight to see as Vanas and his Countess had never attempted to walk through their lonely and dark town without anyone noticing them.
Vanas walked past several buildings where windows and doors remain open even during nightfall.
Vanas looked around before looking over to his beloved. His gaze lingers on the beautiful woman standing by his side.
Her presence was calming yetmanding; both traits that drew attention wherever they went together.
Her pale skin shines bright against the light reflecting off the streetmps illuminating the area.
Siadra is a vampiress with a tall and voluptuous figure, possessing unique golden eyes and even longer golden hair, which curves up into sharper spikes on the ends. She wears her red dress with sharp ck frills at her corset waist and chest and a white section along her torso. She also wears white gloves that go up to her upper arms and ck high heels.
Spreading out his arms, Vanas grins as he speaks. "What a lovely full moon, beloved."
His voice sounds calmer nowpared to his voice when speaking to others.
She smiles warmly down at him and replies softly, "indeed my love, indeed..."
She turns to nce behind herself only to find hundreds of vampires following closely, marveling in awe at her beauty.
Shluk!
One of the vampires who had tried to reach out to the fringes of her dress had ck blood spurt out from his mouth and wrap around his head instantly killing him.
The other three quickly move forward trying to catch the falling corpse, while the rest run off, leaving behind only a trail of dust left in its wake.
''Losers, freaking idiots I have for subjects!''
Vanas watched amused as he saw the dead body fall lifeless to the ground. He knew very well that he wouldn''t wait and watch for anyone among them to ever touch the hem of his wife''s gown.
Siadra looks at her husband with a devilish grin across her face. Her fangs extend slightly showing how pleased she was.
Vanas chuckles lightly and ces his hand gently atop Siadra''s waist and pulling her closer to his side.
Looking ahead, he sees more than a quarter of the poption gathered near the square watching intently in their direction.
The moment he locks gazes with them, they lower their head respectfully back to their position.
He then takes one step forwards, raising his right arm upwards. The crowd falls silent seeing this gesture.
With his free hand, Vanas reaches out slowly touching his index fingertip to his thumb creating a circr motion. A small ball of blood appears between his fingers lighting it aze.
As soon as the mes appear, everyone present gasps in shock. It wasn''t because of the sudden appearance of me, however. No...it was since their weakness would be that of the mes that could kill them.
With Vanas being the only one immune to the zing effects of mes, they could properly tell his action as a warning for them to watch their actions.
Siadra ces her hand on Vanas'' chest and pouts as she whines, "I told you not to do anything foolish, the people are watching!"
Vanas smirks yfully at his loving wife and answers, "And I''m sure your words have alwayse true."
Hearing this, Siadra rolls her eyes but doesn''t say another word.
After a minute or so passes, Vanas lowers his hands letting the fire dissipated. "Fine, you win."
With the sound of screeches from vampire knight bats, The crowd was quick to disperse as they transform and fly away.
Smiling widely, Siandra kisses her husband''s cheek lovingly.
Vanasughs aloud feeling happy once again after having such a wonderful night. Looking towards the sky above, he sighs happily thinking about what the night might bring.
Leaning in, Vanas whispers in her ear. "How about we visit the nearest tavern?"
Siadra scrunches up her face and shakes her head.
Vanas frowns disappointedly, knowing exactly why she has rejected his suggestion.
Turning to look at her, he asks curiously, "Why? What happened today didn''t bother me much did it beloved?"
''I can handle the task and it would be to our gain in the end.'' He thinks with a nod.
Sighing deeply, Siadra exins sadly, "I didn''t like the state you were in after the arena."
Vanas searches her eyes wondering if there truly was something wrong. After all, he hadn''t felt any pain or difort sinceing home earlier tonight.
"You''re worried aren''t you beloved," Vanas says calmly, tugging at her cheeks before letting go.
Siadra nods silently agreeing with her husband.
Vanas touches his wife''s chin lifting it upward until she meets his stare. Smirking mischievously, Vanas leans close kissing her lips tenderly before whispering in her ears, "Don''t worry darling, nothing will happen to me anymore."
A smile spreads over her beautiful features hearing these sweet words.
"Which tavern do you have in mind?" She gleefully inquires.

Chapter 182 Im Just Curious
Vanas shrugs, casually answering, "We can decideter, beloved. We can check several while we are at it; let us enjoy our time out together first shall we?"
*****
It took several minutes to walk through the streets of the city center getting to experience the thrill of the city''s nightlife. They visited many different bars along the way enjoying drinks and food.
? "Count Vanas," A voice calls from behind.
Both turn to see a knight standing beside them dressed elegantly wearing full te armor adorned by golden trimmings. His helmet is decorated with intricate designs.
Seeing both of them looking at each other, the man bows politely, greeting them warmly.
Tapping the shoulder of the armored figure, Vanas replies, "you have been on our tails since we started, is there an issue?"
Lowering his head, the knight apologizes saying, "My apologies Count Vanas, my name is Sir Krans. I would like to suggest the drummers announce your presence when you go to thest tavern."
Vanas narrows his eyes and rubs his chin thoughtfully for a few moments. "No one has ever heard the beats before, so they wouldn''t know."
Sir Krans continues speaking, exining further, "This particr tavern owner happens to own an establishment that most vampires frequent during the evening. If you wish to avoid walking into a crowded area, please allow me to make arrangements beforehand."
Vanas looks around noticing how busy the street had be now being filled with numerous patrons going inside various establishments. He notices some men who seem familiar among those entering the buildings.
Taking notice also, Siadra turns to him asking, "Are you certain you want to go there?"
''I still haven''t found what I am looking for! Lord Hisha made sure that I do that and report in two days.'' Vanas thinks angrily remembering his conversation with him. ''If only I knew more information then maybe things may change!''
"It''s alright, beloved. It is thest one like he said." Vanas whispers soothingly.
Looking back at the knight, Vanas confidently replies, "Yes, thank you very much. You''ve done well informing us ahead of time."
The knight salutes respectfully and transforms into his bat form to alert the rest on patrolling the streets and the drummers ready themselves for the announcement while their Count spends his few hours in the Tavern.
*****
Back to the present,
Vanas res at the drummer, hissing in irritation. ''This is why I don''t like announcing my presence!''
Upon their arrival, Vanas noticed the tavern is brightly lit withmps illuminating the entire structure, and the signpost ''Torture Tavern'' has Siadra burst into a chuckle.
"You should be more polite, dear." Her whisper rings clearly in his ear.
"Why?" Vanas questions with a frown.
"Because we need all the support we can get," Siadra answers with a wink.
Vanas grumbles lowly, "I don''t care about that and no one in Radomir dares challenge me!"
Sighing deeply, Siadra ces her hand on his cheek.
"Your arrogance has gotten you this far in life, but you really shouldn''t be so rude to others."
Vanas turns to look at her, seeing the concern on her lovely face. "Those who deserve it will get iting."
cing her hand on his chest, she gives a thumbs up of approval to the effort put in by the drummer.
The drummer looks down shyly at thepliment, his face reddening slightly.
As did thest who had tried to reach out for his wife, the drummer fell face t into his drum and broke his neck.
Before he could heal, Vanas made sure to stop his heartbeat with a clench of his fingers. "No one tries to flirt with my beloved!"
The three other drummers all take a step back, staring in horror-stricken silence at the sight.
Siadra hums softly, "How long do you n on staying here?"
"I am not leaving until I find what I seek," Vanas states firmly.
"What if you''re toote? What if it''s not here?" Siadra questions.
Vanas leans in close to Siadra whispering in her ear. "Then that''s where youe in, beloved."
Walking inside, the pair notice the interior is dimly lit with only a fewnterns hanging from the ceiling.
The room seems to be empty, but Vanas senses numerous people lurking nearby.
He catches sight of the glint of a de thrown in his direction. Vanas twists his body and grabs Siadra by the arm, bringing her into his cloak, and deflecting the weapon away.
Vanas growls, his fists clenched tightly, ready to pummel anyone who tries to attack him again.
p!
p!
Hisha ps his hands together, his voice echoing through the tavern. "Vampires, assemble! Count Vanas has arrived!"
''Damn I have always wanted to say that.'' Hisha cackles as he takes a seat along the trio at the far end of the table.
Siadra looks up at Vanas and says in a whisper, "Doesn''t that bother you?"
Vanas sighs and replies, "I am not foolish enough to think that everyone will follow orders willingly. They are free to try and kill me, but if they do try, then they will die without regrets."
"Count Vanas, may I introduce myself, my name is Cassius, the owner of Torture Tavern. As you can see, I run this ce quite well." He bows his head respectfully.
The rest of the vampires came out from their hiding spots and stood before Vanas.
Cassius continues, "do pardon our method of weing you since we were a bit skeptical about the rumors of the Count and Countess of Radomir visiting us. However, now that you have arrived, we wee you with open arms."
Everyone around them nods in agreement.
Cassius stands up and ps his hands once more, "lets all drink tonight!"
Vanas is standing at the edge of the bar counter while Siadra sits beside him.
Looking over at the group, Vanas could feel a murderous intent seething off one of its members.
Siadra navigates her hand under the table, ces it on his thighs, and whispers, "there is no one stronger than you in here."
Vanas smiles at Siadra and leans in closer to whisper in her ear. "Thank you."
The music picks up the beat, the bartender begins pouring out drinks. The customers begin to cheer with delight.
Beside them, Hishaughs loudly and holds up his ss, pping his hands together in celebration.
[Host, you do remember you''re staring to a suspicious degree?]
Before Hisha could respond and tear his gaze from the couple, he felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Kier, do you know the Count?" Drac questions, looking behind him to see the veil of darkness obscuring his vision of the vampire chief.
A grin made its way on Hisha''s lips, he could tell no vampire in the tavern could fully see Vanas face, instead, they had their attention fixated on his beautiful wife.
Leaning to his side, Drac questions Hisha''s motive. "It''s bad business to have your eyes on her."
Drac takes another sip of his wine and goes back to staring at the veil of darkness. "I''m just curious."
"No, you don''t understand. She is a very beautiful woman, why wouldn''t I stare at her?" Hisha questions.
Quick to mask his true motive that his gaze was not only on the wife but on Vanas his true target. ''How well can you boost my carnage level points?''
Drac snorts in disgust, "you can''t even speak to a woman properly. You''re an embarrassment to your tribe."
''I can''t speak to a woman properly? Who the fuck was this Kier that I suddenly morphed to?'' Hisha chuckles as he shakes his head at Drac''s words.
Hisha turns to look at Drac, his lips curving into a wicked grin. "You are a fool to think I''d ever make a move on her. I would never risk my life for a woman."
"Why not? If I had someone who looked like her, then I''d let you mate with her right here and now."
"I am not an exhibitionist!" Hisha snaps at Drac.
Shrugging, Drac looks over to Siadra and then at Cassius who looks like he was keeping thempany as he tries to advocate his Tavern.
"Do you really want to find out how good my skills are?" Hisha challenges Drac.

Drac smirks and takes another sip of his wine. "Go ahead. I''ll be watching you."
"I''ll take you both down to the ground." Hisha taunts Drac as he raises his ss in the air.
"I''m not afraid of you," Drac smirks as he looks over to Vanas. "He on the other hand is out of our league."
[Tribal chief Vanas is out of your league, host]
HTC put up numerousughing emojis to mock its host.
Internally facepalming, Hisha let out a sigh as he responded telepathically to his system, ''I will me this body I look like, nothing more, nothing less.''
Hisha raises a brow and blurts out, "what are you talking about? He is just a tribal chief."
"And you can''t even see his face. I bet he has some sort of special spell on his body that allows him to hide from our sight." Drac responds.
"What are you even saying? That makes no sense, what is so special about him aside from higher-ranked power?" Hisha questions in a whisper, getting annoyed by Drac''sments.
Drac stretches his hand out on Hisha''s forehead, checking his temperature. "You''re flushed. Your body is heating up. Why don''t you go outside for a moment, cool yourself off."
"Really? That''s the solution?" Hisha snarls at Drac and takes his hand away from his forehead. He picks up a knife from the table and stabs at the table sending shards of wood flying.
"What the fuck did you do that for! This is the best party I''ve been to in ages. And you ruin it with your whining." Drac hisses in Hisha''s face.
All attention was focused on Hisha and Drac''s exchange.
The bartender stops serving alcohol, and the guests turn around to watch the argument between the two men.
Noticing they had suddenly be the center of attraction, Hisha quickly pulls up his hood and storms out.
"So, what brings you to my establishment, Count Vanas?" Cassius asks.
Vanas nces over at the man walking out and smirks, "My beautiful wife is looking for someone."
Holding onto Hisha''s arm tightly, Vanas tilts his head in a bid to get a better glimpse at the face, "youngd..."
Hisha could already feel his disguise wearing off and it was best if Drac didn''t see him morph into another while still in the Tavern.
Shrugging Vanas'' hand away, Hisha pushes past him to leave.
Vanas stares at his hand, slightly disturbed by what had happened, ''that aura, it felt almost familiar...''
"Dear, are you..."
Ignoring his wife''s concerns, Vanas follows after the stranger, "no, wait...stop."
Hearing Vanas call out to stop, Hisha stops dead in his tracks outside the Tavern.
Stopping time, he lets out a sigh of relief at being left alone and turns around to see Vanas suspended in motion, frozen in ce.
Hisha walks in circles around Vanas, adjusting his messy and smoothing out the creases on his coat. "You got some nerve trying to get to me!"
He lets out augh at being the only one excluding Vanas'' wife who could see through his cloak.
Hisha pauses, "I may have misjudged you. Your territory, but I would never lose to a low-level beast like you."
Patting Vanas'' head, he let out augh at how funny it felt to watch him in such a vulnerable position.
With no one in sight and the street dead empty, Hisha shoves his hand into his pockets and looks at the full moon.
''HTC, it is time I can change into the form I want, don''t you think?''
[.... loading]
Ding!
[You are entitled to a change amounting to two times]
''That''s fine by me. I have one perfect candidate for this.'' Hisha says with a chuckle.
[By any chance, are you trying to y necromancer?]
''It would be appreciated if you go along with the body I want!''
[46:27:01]
Time resumes and Hisha adjusts his appearance into a pale-skinned vampire male with short green hair.
The clothes he wore before were changed to a more presentable attire; a ck coat, a hood that was used to mask his face, with a white shirt underneath. A pair of navy blue pants and brown bootsplete the outfit.
His nails extended to ws and his eyes now turned red, he feels powerful, as if all his life he has always wanted to be this way.
Vanas'' jaw drops as he looks at the man standing before him now. ''I could have sworn I had followed ad out.''
"Is there any problem, Count Vanas?" Hisha turns around to face Vanas, his voice sounding firm and confident.
''The same aura.'' Vanas points out, feeling ufortable with the man standing before him now.
It was almost as though thed had transformed into this unidentified male before him.
Siadra runs towards her husband in worry, "dear, is there a problem?"
Vanas res at Hisha, "what is this? Did you transform into an unknown individual?"
''My! My! They really are smarter than I had expected.'' Hisha thinks as he looks at the two with a grin.
Before the rest coulde out of the Tavern, he casts an opaque barrier to hide them from the view of the others.
Clutching onto his wife''s shoulder, he pulls her closer to himself to give her a sense of assurance.
Vanas smiles in amusement at the way she had tried tofort him even though they were in a situation that seemed dangerous. "I believe in you, dear."
''Uggh! Such a loving gaze, I want that.''
[You have several who has done that to you in your harem if I need to be specific]
''Thanks for the reminder.'' Hisha deadpans and immediately shakes off the thought as he proceeds.
Pointing at Vanas, "Count Vanas, why don''t we go somewhere else for a while? Somewhere a little more private than this ce..."
''Somewhere I could whoop your ass and get a good fight out of it!'' Hishapletes in his thoughts.
Siadra shakes her head, ufortable with the idea.
The more he stares at Siadraing up at the wrong time and joining in to meet Vanas, the more his blood boils at the thought of not being able to go all out for the fear of her getting killed if he and Vanas did fight.
"It wasn''t an option, Countess." Hisha says, "I am not here to cause trouble or anything of the sort, but you see..."
Vanas interrupts, "have we met before? You feel familiar."
''Of course, you can feel some sort of familiarity, my aura isn''t one to be missed.'' Hisha thinks as a smirk slowly builds till he bursts into maniacalughter.
"Do I make you feel this way?" Hisha asks Vanas, "my name is Derek, and I believe we''ve crossed paths numerous times before."
Unable to grasp where the discussion was headed, Vanas pushes Siadra behind him before he continues. "If we have met, why don''t you pull down that hood?"
[Why did you choose that path?]
HTC ces several question marks on the screen.
''What scares one more than a horrid pasting to bite hard?'' Hisha ponders as he steps closer to Vanas.
"Asking me to take off my hood? That''s a bold move, but I will do so." Hisha chuckles, shaking his head at how this wasn''t going to end well for Vanas once he gets a glimpse of the face and body he had under the hood.
Siadra holds onto her husband''s hand tightly, "something doesn''t feel right!"
The moment the words left her lips, she felt a cold chill run through her spine. She closes her eyes trying to get away from the feeling.
With a devious smile, Hisha removes the hood covering his face. "Hello, younger brother!"
"Derek?!" Vanas gawks in disbelief, taking two steps back.
Hisha grins as he takes another two steps forward, his arms raised high above his head to show off his muscles. "So! Does my face ring a bell to you, now?"
Siadra lets out a scream upon seeing Derek, dropping to buttocks and clutching onto her husband''s arm as the couple backs up.
"C''mon! Are you happy to see your elder brother?!" Hishaughs as he walks towards them.
[Who would be happy to see you in this body they recognize?]
"Stay away!!!" Siadra screams at the top of her lungs, making a clench of her fists while she watches Derek set off in mes.
Chapter 184 Sword Fight!
Cough!
Cough!
Siadra''s eyes bulge wide open as she realizes Derek wasn''t burning the moment she saw the mes quench right before her.
''Who would have thought reading a bit of history on the seven tribes would prove so useful as it is now?'' Hisha jokes as he pats his side where the mes were still burning.
Tossing his coat which had been the only thing that had suffered the fire, he lets out a sigh of disappointment at watching the cool coat sizzle away.
"Oh, dear! That felt sooo nice!" Hisha exims in happiness, "it''s been far too long since my skin has felt this warm."
Vanas'' fangs grow longer by the second as he res at Hisha. "Is that really you, brother?! How dare you to show yourself to us like this!"
Pushing back his hair, Hisha smirks as he addresses Vanas, "you should have expected this, brother. I won''t take no for an answer!"
"You''re dead!" Vanas barks.
"Apparently not enough," Hisha replies with augh.
"What sort of dark magic did you use to bring yourself back to life?!" Vanas yells as he gets to a defensive stance.
"That''s it. There''s no reason to waste any more time here." Hisha mumbles as he charges toward Vanas.
Whoosh!
Vanas looks to his side, seeing the gleam of red lighting from Derek.
sh!
"Aaahhh!" Vanas lets out a yell in pain.
Crouching over Siadra, he used his body as a shield to protect her.
''As expected!'' Hisha chuckles, kicking Vanas aside as he moves to stand over Siadra.
"Now I shall enjoy the pleasures of killing you myself," Hisha announces.
''C''mon, Vanas, step in!'' Hisha wishes he could say.
He had given enough time for Vanas to heal, it was obvious he didn''t want to hurt Siadra but wouldn''t waste any opportunity to do so if he could get at Vanas.
''The power of love, how powerful yet so weak.'' Hisha mocks.
sh!
''Woah!''
Sidestepping just in time, Hisha raises a brow at the attack from Siadra after she recovered from her shock. ''She''s got some pretty good skills.''
"I''ll finish you off, Derek! You aren''t meant to be alive, not now, not ever!" Vanas shouts, charging toward Hisha.
"Not if I can help it!" Hisha yells back as he dodges yet another swing from Vanas.
Bang!
Bang!
Vanas turns to look at the source of the noise, seeing a group of peopleing from the direction of the tavern.
"Come on, don''t tell me you''ve forgotten about these people!" Hisha says.
Vanas switches his gaze from Hisha and the barrier and the silhouette of bodies surrounding it, his eyes widened at what this could mean if they got in.
No one had known of his elder brother that had been favored by their father when they were little.
''This can''t be real.'' He whispers.
Hisha creates a barrier around Siadra before setting off the barrier.
And then there is a loud explosion as the barrier explodes, sending Vanas flying several feet away into the air,nding on the ground hard.
Crash!
|Raw carnage level~179%+10%|
[Destruction]
|Raw carnage level~189%+10%|
[Death¡Á10]
The crowd gasps at numerous corpses being thrown around by the explosion.
"What is going on?" One of the men standing near the tavern asks.
Giving a thought to escaping a situation, he changes the appearance of one of the dead vampires into Kier.
''That should throw them off my track.''
Drac rushes over to the body, kneeling and hugging the corpse. "Kier!!! Noooo!"
Sigh!
''I guess I was able to fool sessfully I guess.'' He clicks his tongue and has his attention fixated on Vanas.
Towering over a disheveled Vanas, he grabs him by the cor and sneers. "For a Count¨Cthe supposed leader of your tribe, you are weak!"
Still, in a dazed state, Vanas mistook Hisha''s words for the fact that he had killed his frail elder brother with the help of his only friend¨CSiadra at the time, to take his ce once their father died.
"I know I was wrong, Derek," Vanas mutters, a little out of breath.
Tears trickle down his cheek as he realizes his mistake and probably fate returning to teach him a lesson.
Taking a nce at his side, he could see his wife trapped in a mini barrier that he could only guess that Derek had made before the explosion.
''He still cares, huh?''
A weak smile graced his lips at the littlefort he had gotten from the sight.
Tossing him a great distance away, Hisha watches with his hand over his forehead and smiles at the sight.
[Why did you do that?]
''I am not going to kill him, but humble him and remind him of the reason he has that position.'' Hisha replies.
He needed Vanas to recover from his terminal injuries wherever he was tossed to and save his face from his citizens who were still caught up in the aftermath of the explosion.
Without any notice, Hisha creates arge torrent of wind and directs it toward the tavern.
All that remains is arge hole in the building. The roof has been destroyed and parts of the walls are missing.
Cassius stares in shock at his destroyed building, anger slowly building up as his red eyes glow with rage.
"W-what the hell did you do?! Why did you destroy my Tavern?!" Cassius angrily asks as he steps forward, pointing at the stranger.
Hisha looks around with a devilish grin, "now what would you do without this ce? I think a new one will be built soon."
With that, Hisha disappears.
Cassius stares at the ground, his fists clenched tightly until he hears a voice behind him.
"Just kidding."
Reappearing, Hisha materialized in front of Cassius with a smile.
Grabbing him by the neck, he channels a fraction of his Sux which immediately stuns the vampire.
Gasp!
Gasp!
Drac pulls out his sword, channeling his red Sux into it, swinging down upon Hisha who easily avoids the blow.
Swoosh!
Dodging left, right, and center, Drac swings again only to miss once more due to Hisha moving too fast.
Grr...
Breathing heavily, Hisha smiles evilly at the young man.
''Nice weaponry skills, but sadly I''m no ordinary ''vampire'', Drac.''
Seeing an opening, Hisha lunges forwards using all of his strength, aiming straight for Drac''s chest.
Drac brings his hands together forming two des made entirely of blood, blocking the strike effortlessly but losing his original sword in the process.
Bam!
The other three had stepped forward to defend their leader from yet another strike.
A sh of light appears between them, followed by a burst of Sux erupting from within the des.
Blowback urs causing each de to explode violently.
Each st sends debris everywhere including hitting both sides of the street where many bystanders have gathered.
Screams fill the streets as everyone tries to avoid getting hit or injured.
''Shit!'' Hisha curses, watching themotion all around.
"The knights! They need to be alerted!" One screamed as he transformed into a bat.
Making a clench of his finger, the bat scrunches like a ball, tiny bone cracking sounds resonate before it is reverted to a bloody mass.
|Raw carnage level~199%+10%|
[Gore]
Hisha subconsciously grins as he looks at his stats.
"You vile demon!" Drac barks, channeling even more Sux into his swords making sure none escape.
''Sword fight! Could be fun.'' Hisha considers the thought and goes along with it.
Dashing toward Drac''s swordying on the floor, he picks it up and gives it a few swings to test it out.
"Not bad." He praises the work carried out on the weapon and how easy it was to wield.
Drac fumes as he points at Hisha. "You will pay for what you did to my cousin, my fellow vampires, and the Tavern!!!"
Hisha chuckles and teases, "isn''t that a lot of people to avenge for little old you?"
"Sir..." One of the men whispers to Drac, slightly skeptical about him choosing to go against such a powerful foe alone.
But Drac ignores him and the rest, turning back to face Hisha. "I had just gotten my cousin and he got discarded like some stale blood?"
He couldn''t help but me himself for letting Kier leave the Tavern.
''This is my fault and I must avenge him!''
"Take care of Cassius and the others, also look for a way to free the Countess," He orders calmly.
They nod in response, dispersing to carry out various tasks.
Turning away, Drac focuses solely on Hisha.
Chapter 185 Moonlight Dilemma
Whoosh!
His opponent however seems unfazed as he continues dodging blows.
ng! nk! Bang!
Both fighters continue exchanging strikes trying desperately tond a fatal blow while avoiding theirs.
Swing after swing, block after a blocked attack. Bothbatants seem evenly matched.
Suddenly, Hisha manages to get past Drac''s guard andnds a powerful punch directly onto Drac''s face.
Blood spurts forth from Drac''s mouth spraying in the air.
Coughing loudly, Drac falls backward clutching his broken jaw. Blood oozes freely from inside his lips.
Tears well up in his eyes as he struggles to breathe properly.
Huff!
Huff!
Looking over at Hisha, he sees something unexpected. A small ck orb floated above Hisha''s head. It glows brightly emitting red Sux particles.
"He is back!" Drac cackles madly.
Wiping off the blood dripping from his chin, Drac stands slowly regaining control of his breathing.
*****
20 minutes ago,
Vanas walks through town, looking around at the destruction caused by Derek.
It wasn''t much damage considering all the buildings were made of wood or stone. But still, it looked like someone had taken part in a war zone.
Huff!
Huff!
Dropping to his knees, he punches the floor in rage at the sudden disarray that had been caused by his brother.
''I had killed him, it was for the best!'' He repeats mentally.
Raising his head, Vanas watches his elder brother closely. His anger was evident upon seeing the state of devastation.
Thest straw would have to be a few of his citizens getting killed by someone other than him. His wife was still trapped and he couldn''t guess if Derek had saved her as thest person he was going to kill.
''No! I won''t let that happen!''
Pushing away some boulders out of his way, his red eyes glow as he aims to use one of his deadly attacks.
"Ahhhhh!!!!!" He lets out an inaudible scream as he channels his Sux to create a small ck orb.
Cough!
Cough!
He drops to face first in exhaustion, unable to create the orb due tock of energy after his regeneration.
Drawing whatever strength he could, he pulls himself up and repeats the process, only this time creating an orb with glowing red Sux particles.
Momentarily bonding with him, he feels a sudden surge of power coursing through his body. The pain subsides leaving behind a feeling of invincibility.
His torn clothes were now repaired allowing them to fit perfectly without any loose threads hanging loosely.
A smile forms across his handsome features as he looks at the orb hovering before him.
With the orb, he could direct its attack solely on a target with it passing through the rest as though they were invisible.
Navigating the orb in Hisha''s direction, Vanas smiles evilly knowing full well what he could do.
''I took what''s mine, and I intend to keep it that way!''
*****
Back to the present,
"Kaboom!!"
Vanas'' voice echoes as he aims at Hisha.
Hisha had not been given enough time to react when the orb emitted a wave of red mes, sending him flying into the wall causing cracks to form along its surface.
Boom!
The building copses under the impact crushing several people underneath. Screams fill the area followed shortly by silence as the rest look to their Count who arrived to rescue them.
Hisha stares down at the rubble left behind by the explosion.
Shaking his head, he res at Vanas approaching.
Drac meanwhile has healed and sits upright rubbing his sore cheek. Seeing their opponent receive a devastating blow, he grins wickedly.
Reaching into his pocket, he takes out two transparent vials filled with dark purple liquid, looking through them so he sees the stranger in them.
''Perfect!'' He chuckles before throwing it towards Hisha.
Both bottles shatter against the ground releasing thick poisonous smoke filling the area making visibility difficult.
As soon as the fumes enter Hisha''s lungs, he coughs violently trying desperately to expel the poison but fails miserably.
[Toxins detected]
[Detoxification in process]
[Loading... 1%... 43%...]
''What the fuck is this?!'' Hisha covers his nose, coughing out blood.
[Blood poisoning vial targets whoever had been seen through its ss, thereby binding the target under its dangerous toxins once inhaled]
Cough!
Cough!
Hisha''s vision began to cloud over from the toxic gas entering his system. A sharp burning sensation spread throughout his entire being. It felt like every single organ inside his body was about to burst open.
Screaming in agony, he tries to move forward despite how weak he became.
[Sux depletion: 400]
Ding!
[Detoxificationplete]
Huff!
Huff!
Aiming once more, Vanas unleashes another st of fireballs. This time hitting several ces around Hisha causing them to explode violently sending debris flying everywhere.
Seeing all these explosions happening right next to him made Drac feel uneasy for fear something might hit or hurt him. But instead of running like the rest, he rushes toward his teammates and pulls them away before the falling debris crushes them.
After witnessing such destruction caused by just one man, he can see why everyone fears the name ''Count''.
"Sir!" They all said in a chorus, disappointed in themselves at not being able to rescue the Countess.
Bang!
Bang!
Siadra felt her scratches and hits wouldn''t cut it anymore if she continued fighting to get out.
"Dear!!" She screams at her husband the moment he gets close to her. "Please help me!! Please save me from this!!"
Hisha shakes his head and chuckles at the drain in his Sux points, it is slowly getting irritating at losing such amounts of toxins when he is caught in it.
Looking back upon Siandra, he sighs deeply seeing no hope in saving her either. "What would it be...?"
Exhaling, Hisha regtes his racing heartbeat. Even he could realize how dangerous toxins were than brute force sustained.
Drac gasps in shock at how quickly his toxins were countered and survived those sts from their Count. His eyes widened even further hearing those wordsing from Hisha.
He knew there must have been some kind of trick involved here because surely someone couldn''t survive a double attack with such intensity? Yet somehow this stranger managed to survive while still on his feet as though nothing had happened.
Vanas whips his head toward where the sound came from only to find himself staring straight into Derek''s face.
His heart skipped a beat realizing that even such an attack had done nothing to him, not even a graze.
Pointing over to Siadra, Hisha puts out a condition. "Would you like to save her or watch her die?"
Vanas switches gaze from Hisha then to Siadra lying helplessly with the barrier still present which is keeping the rubbles from crushing her.
The sight alone makes him want to rush forth immediately to aid her, however; knowing what will happen should they fail, he hesitates.
A small smile appears across Hisha''s lips after watching Vanas hesitate long enough. "That''s more like it."
With a flick of his wrist, he summons threerge boulders hovering above the ground ready to fall onto anyone foolish enough to try anything stupid.
Vanas gulped nervously, eyeing up the rocks. Thest thing he wanted now was any more injuries especially since he already lost most of his Sux due to the previous attacks.
''Siadra...'' Vanas thinks sadly, feeling guilty for being tossed aside and forced to leave her for a while, now he could do nothing but stand guard. ''... if I could do things differently maybe we''d both live.''
"What do you want?!" He shouts angrily ring down at Hisha who simply smiles amused at his reaction.
"I''m going to ask again," Hisha says calmly, looking directly into Vanas'' eyes. "Will you agree to speak somewhere quiet? I know a few ces that fit that description."
Vanas nods slightly but doesn''t say anything yet. Instead, he looks between the two men waiting patiently until finally deciding to ept the offer.
''Watch him crumble and lose his options.''
Drac yells out to his Count, "Count Vanas, he can''t be trusted! Please, we need to rid ourselves of him first so he won''t betray uster!"
Vanas turns to look at Drac, surprised at his sudden outburst. However, he soon realizes that Drac has good reason to believe that way considering everything that transpired thus far.
''You wouldn''t understand this unless your beloved was in danger.'' Vanas looks down in disappointment.
Turning back to Hisha, he asks, "Where shall we meet?"
Chapter 186 Secrets Best Kept In The Dark
Outskirts of Radomir, underground entrance,
Vanas stands staring wide-eyed at what lies beyond the door. A massive room stretching further than the eye can see. Even though he knows how huge the cavern really is, it feels smaller because of the darkness surrounding them.
The vast dark space in front of them suddenly dims to reveal a bright light shining brightly within its depths. It wasn''t too big nor did it seem very deeppared to other caves they''d seen during their travels through the mountains.
Vanas pulls on his cloak, taking a whiff of the air before curiously asking. "Where is this ce?"
Hisha answers, "This cave leads underground beneath the city itself. There aren''t many entrances leading outside except for the main entrance near the secret passageway."
They walk along silently following the path carved inside the rock walls till reaching another opening ahead.
Vanas looks down, skeptical about his next words, "b¨Cbrother Derek,"
Hisha raises a brow, looking to his side, and halts. "Any reason you called?"
Vanas takes another look at his brother, still in a state of disbelief but shook the thought off.
Instead, he goes for a more subtle approach, "how did you do it?"
"Excuse me?" Hisha questions confused by his question.
Seeing Derek frowning, Vanas continues speaking before Derek gets angry. "How are you able to withstand all those attacks against your body? You aren''t meant to be alive."
''Well your brother is dead, I''m just here to haunt you.'' Hisha snickers in his head.
Hisha stares nkly at Vanas, tired of the questions asked.
"I developed tough skin, it was originally meant to be mine." Hisha snaps and clicks his tongue.
His eyes were glued to the timer disyed above.
[45:00:00]
Walking into a grassy field surrounded by trees, they stop momentarily to catch their breath.
Hisha sighs deeply exhaling steam from his mouth. His hand reaches forward grabbing hold of one of the nearby tree branches pulling hard causing several leaves to fly away.
Looking around, he spots something familiar among the tall green nts swaying gently under the gentle breeze blowing past.
He walks towards where he saw the object only to find nothing there. Looking closer, he sees some sort of white flower growing amongst the rest.
Vanas'' mouth gapes open in shock, immediately remembering when they had been attacked several centuries ago while traveling together. They came upon an area filled with these flowers as well.
Hisha looks over his shoulder with a growing smirk. He was sure the area made memories flood Vanas'' thoughts once again.
Confident that his identity couldn''t possibly get revealed anymore, Hisha decides to take advantage of the situation.
"Why are we here?" Vanas inquires as to why they''re walking aimlessly across the fields instead of speaking about what had brought them to the underground tunnel.
[Are you going to use the contract?]
''Not yet, and I don''t want it getting traced to my status. I would need to create an opening that would prompt him to report to me in two days.''
All the while, a disturbing grin had Vanas question if he had asked the right questions or not.
Sitting on the grass, Hisha gestured for Vanas to join him.
Reluctantly obliging, he sits beside his older sibling who ces both hands behind his neck leaning backward.
After sitting quietly for a while, Hisha speaks up, "you know, if anyone finds out your misdeeds..."
Vanas was quick to interrupt, "what''s wrong with forcefully taking matters into one''s hands?"
Hisha smirks, knowing full well that Vanas wouldn''t understand since he doesn''t have any morals whatsoever.
However, he also knew that Vanas didn''t realize exactly how much trouble coulde from such actions and how it was currently benefiting him.
"You were frail and could die, yet father wanted to hand over the rule to you?! How dare he!" Vans yells angrily standing straight back upright and ring daggers at his elder brother.
A small smile forms on Hisha''s face seeing Vanas so passionate about defending his own honor. However, he quickly hides it after realizing that he shouldn''t let his emotions show.
"Sit! Down!!" Hishamands harshly, making Vanas flinch slightly.
Shaking his head, Vanas obeys his elder brother. Sitting down, he closes his eyes trying to calm his nerves.
It took quite some time until Vanas finally spoke up, "why did father wish to give control to someone so weak?!"
"You killed me when I was with a frail body unable to defend myself" Hisha points out calmly.
The memory shes through Vanas mind, vividly reminding him of the time when he first had the decision to make.
Siadra had originally been betrothed to Derek at the time they had also fallen in love. Conniving to rid herself of the burden of a frail husband she decided to plot the death of her fianc¨¦ before the ceremony.
The moment when he stabbed his sword deep into Derek''s chest, killing him instantly. It wasn''t long afterward that he realized this new form of existence was far different than anything else he''d experienced thus far.
Siadra then went ahead and married him without hesitation.
The guilt consumed him like fire consuming everything within its path. It wasn''t long till he lost sight of reality and epted what he had done and made sure the truth was buried along with the rest in that household.
To create a mystery around him, he trained and honed his prodigious skills as a pure-blood vampire. The more powerful he became, the less guilty he felt inside.
Until now...
Derek was not too far from him, having risen from the dead and on a mission to ruin him.
"I had to, so I could survive," Vanas replies coldly staring off into space.
Seeing no responseing forth, Hisha continues talking, "it seems our family isn''t very forgiving either considering all the times it was based on kill or be killed," he says sarcastically looking directly at Vanas.
His words cut deeply causing Vanas to look away feeling ashamed of their true meaning.
Judging from all that Hisha had seen, Vanas wasn''t just a ruler whom the people adored and feared but he had gained the respect of all and had built on the little that was present at the time in Radomir.
"That was a good fight," Hishaments, watching Vanas closely.
He knows there is something deeper hidden beneath those red orbs which stare nkly forward. Something darker still lies underneath the surface waiting to burst free.
"Yet I was at your mercy during most of the battle. You should''ve finished me off sooner rather thanter." Vanas retorts bitterly remembering the pain caused due to being drained dry multiple times throughout the course of the duel.
''That''s because I''m much stronger than you on a normal scale. Because of this disguise, my ability is greatly reduced.''
[Don''t rub it in, host]
"Where''s the fun in that?" Hisha questions rhetorically. He can see why Vanas chose to keep fighting even though he couldn''t win anymore. There must be some sort of reason for doing so.
Vanas looks at his elder brother curiously wondering where this conversation will lead them next.
"Please, leave my territory. It''s for the best that you don''t show your face here again." Vanas requests politely hoping to avoid further conflict between both parties.
Hisha chuckles, satisfied to have humbled Vanas, all he hoped was that he could get an opening to get Vanas to reveal a bit of what he knew concerning his true self¨Cthe overlord.
*****
An hourter,
Walking out, Vanas looks back with a smile on his face. His heart feels lighter knowing that things are going well once more.
In his hand was a blood-red ruby that he shoved into his pocket.
Looking towards the sky, he sees the moon shining brightly above him illuminating the night skies. A soft breeze blows gently against his skin bringing relief to his tired muscles.
Turning his attention downwards, he notices two figures walking side-by-side heading toward him. It was Siadra and Sir Krans.
Running towards him with arms opened wide, Siadra embraces him tightly while kissing him passionately, then she pulls away smiling happily.
Whispering to his hearing alone. "I''m sorry for being a distraction to your duel."
Shaking his head, Vanas kisses her forehead lovingly. "No need to apologize beloved; we''re together now after all!"
Sir Krans smiles warmly seeing how happy the couple looked. Turning to Vanas, he asks quietly, "Count Vanas, what about the rogue vampire?"
Chapter 187 Uncontrolled Passion ?
[R18]
*****
Siadra clears her throat and looks away. After her freedom from the barrier, she had been the only one who could alert the knights of the danger their Count was in.
With the whole area searched, it had left one ce that they hadn''t checked.
Going along with the information given to the knights, Vanas looks behind him.
Rrrrr!!!
The cave shakes before rubbles begin to fall onto the ground, before eventually copsingpletely.
"What the hell?!" Siadra exims looking towards the cave in shock.
"He isn''t going to bother us anymore," Vanas states inly, looking down at the dust cloud rising into the air.
Krans stood in awe looking at the damage that was done to the cave.
Looking up from the dust cloud, Vanas looks at the sky to see the moon disappearing behind clouds.
"It seems that it''s time for us to return," Vanas announces.
If he could forget all that had happened within the span of a few hours, he would have stayed in his castle.
In the shadows, a figure standing at the edge of the cliff stares down at them.
''He took the bait.''
*****
A short whileter,
Vanas walks through the main gates of the castle with Siadra holding onto his arm tightly.
The servants all stay in a single file, lowering their heads to greet the couple.
"Wee back, Count and Countess!" They greet them cheerfully, not noticing that their Count had changed since theirst encounter.
Scoffing at their greetings, Vanas eyes them coldly.
Siadra pulls on her husband''s arm and whispers seductively into his ear, "let''s get you changed so you can loosen up."
Vanas'' mood instantly brightens up at the thought of getting ready for the night ahead.
As they walk up the stairs, a maid raises her head and shes a wicked grin.
''This is just the start.''
*****
Pushing the door leading to their room open, Vanas swoops Siadra off her feet and ms the door shut.
m!
Giggling at the impatient attitude of her husband, Siadra looks around the room and finds herself speechless when he gently drops her onto the bed, unbuttoning his shirt and throwing it to the floor.
Momentarily pulling away, he makes a pping gesture that affects their interior decoration.
Everything changed. The bed is now made of red velvet, the walls are painted a dark blue with a pair of velvet curtains covering the window.
On the floor, there''s a rug with a beautiful golden design.
Eyes wide with amazement, Siadra stares around the room in pure awe.
Taking her hand, Vanas pulls her close to him as he begins undressing her. "Let''s take this slow."
Slipping her arms out of her dress, he runs his hands across her chest, dipping his head lower to caress her breasts.
With a sly smile, he pulls back and removes the rest of her dress revealing her long legs.
Vanas pauses for a moment to admire his wife''s beauty.
Then he kneels over her body and kisses her firmly.
Siadra arches her back, letting Vanas sink into her inviting warmth.
Her hands run through his hair while she gasps softly, moaning in pleasure.
"You''re... a... lot more... tender than I remember." She moans, her voice trembling.
"Do you like it?" He inquires, his tone soft and gentle.
Smiling in response, Siadra ces her hands against his shoulders.
Biting her lip, she feels him kiss her neck and she shivers under the sensation of his lips.
She grabs his head and guides him closer to her erect nipples.
"Yes." She breathes out with a sigh.
"Mmmm." Vanas hums, kissing her breasts again.
Slowly, he moves his hands down her abdomen and takes hold of her hips.
Hooking his fingers into the sides of her panties, he slips them down her thighs and Siadra moans in delight.
"I missed this," Vanas says in a whisper as he moves down slowly, kissing her inner thigh.
Shuddering, Siadra reaches down to guide him further.
Pulling away, he adjusts his sheath towards her entrance.
A wave of pleasure washes over her whole body when Vanas enters her warm wetness.
"Mnnhhhh..." Siadra exhales in pleasure, closing her eyes.
Nuzzling her neck, Vanas continues moving in and out of her, drawing out every little moan from her throat.
Unbeknownst to them, the ruby glows beneath them, reflecting a bit of its light as the couple enjoys each other.
Siadra''s hands grip his shoulders tightly, biting her lip to stifle the urge to scream in pleasure.
His pelvis bumps against hers, rubbing her sensitive spot.
"Uhh... mmm..." Siadra groans, her eyes rolling back into her head.
Pp!
Pp!
...
Pp!
He thrusts harder and faster, driving himself deep inside her.
"Yes!" Siadra cries out, her hands gripping his shoulders.
The couple''s bodies begin to tremble, the feeling building within them.
"A-Ahhhh!!!" Siadra screams out in ecstasy, her body shaking uncontrobly.
In a moment, their energy is spent.
The ruby glistens and transfers the energy it had stored to an unknown location.
Vanas copses atop her, panting as he holds her close to him.
Siadra''s body trembles and shakes beneath him, her breathinging in quick, sharp gasps.
After a few moments, she opens her eyes and looks up at Vanas.
They stare at each other for a moment before Vanas speaks. "That was just what I needed to relieve the stress of today."
Flipping them over, Siadrays him down and straddles him, kissing him deeply.
As they embrace one another, the ruby begins to glow once more.
*****
Outside the room,
The pleasured moans echo through the halls.
The maid from earlier stood in front of the door, staring at it before looking down at a simr ruby in her hand.
''As long as that gem is at close range, they won''t be able to properly control their desire. At that moment, master strikes!''
A twisted smirk forms on her face as she walks away.
*****
In Torture Tavern,
The repairs had been sessfully done to bring back the building to its original shape. Cassius was ecstatic since the repair costs would be zeroed out by the kind of repair of a youngd.
He is dressed in a ck vest over a blue shirt and ck pants with a matching belt around his waist. On his feet, he wears matching dark brown boots.
Using his Sux, the building was repaired at a quick pace.
[200 Sux exhausted]
Wiping the sweat off his face, Hisha shed a grin to Cassius. "It''s as good as new, sir."
[Charm+10]
Cassius walks over to Hisha, "thank you, Liam, I knew I could count on you."
Hisha nods, grinning from ear to ear at thepliment.
[At this point, you should have all names and faces attributed to you]
HTC sarcasticallyments on its host''s attitude.
cing his arm around Hisha''s shoulder, he lets out a hearty cheer, "you''re free to spend the night in any of the rooms as you please."
''That was my intention from the start.'' Hisha cackles in his thoughts.
Happily epting the offer, he gives a slight bow and says. "Thank you so much, sir!"
Making his way to one of the room''s doors, Hisha stops and turns to Cassius, "please I would like little to no disturbance tonight, I will leave early tomorrow morning and I want to rest well."
Cassius nods, "it shall be as such. Is there anything else?"
"No Sir, thank you again!"
Hisha grabs his bag and makes his way to his new bedroom.
Closing the door behind him, Hisha let out a sigh of relief. With his back against the door, he leans up against it and closes his eyes.
His mind wanders, wondering about what he had done after letting go of Vanas.

Nodding his head at the information with a smirk, he needed to get thetest information on the task he had sent his new vampire creation.
[Visibility turned on]
Peering through Willow''s eyes with the help of a translucent screen, Hisha cocks a brow as he sees her holding the ruby he had handed over to her.
Challenging Vanas and causing a wide range of destruction, and taking Vanas for a talk was merely a diversion from his main n that could set his n in motion.
''He thought he had made a truce with his dead brother, how does he n on getting out of this trap?'' Hisha thinks as a wicked grin spreads out on his face.
Chapter 188 Stirring Up His Desires °
[Slightly R-18]
*****
[Did they engage?] Hisha questions Willow.
Willows looks to her left, then to her right. She could see several guards patrol the area, but none of them were paying attention to her.
''Yes, master.'' Willow replies.
[Make sure to get close to him as often as possible while you have the other part of the ruby]
Willow nods her head, opening the door leading to her quarters.
Click!
[I will try my best to find my way there, you will know me with my disguise once I give a signal.]
''Yes, master.''
Hisha grimaced at the stiff response from Willow. His thoughts suddenly trail to Melody and how full of life she had been.
[You should be d host, with this new creation, you have a less emotional connection to it]
Reluctantly agreeing, Hisha wipes down his face and gets to his feet.
Turning the visibility and audio, he slips off his vest and shirt, revealing his smooth skin.
Skeptical about his surroundings, he creates a barrier that blocks out any external force that could be used to spy on him.
Reverting to his usual body, he stretches out and bends over to remove his boots, socks, and pants before slipping into bed,ying t on his back.
Hoping to catch a few winks, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
*****
The sunlight begins to shine through the window, waking Hisha from his slumber.
Beep!
[39:05:07]
Opening his eyes, he uses his hand to cover his face. ''So I slept for more than five hours.''
[You could sleep if you want to. There isn''t much activity going on at the moment]
''I''ll pass.'' Hisha bluntly turns down the offer and sits up, requesting his status.

"A brand new day." Hisha happily says while rubbing his hands together. "Let''s get started."
Walking over to his closet, he pulls out his dark blue shirt. He then chooses a pair of ck shoes that match the color of his outfit, before pulling out his belt.
[You seem to be in a good mood, host]
HTC disys a questionable emoji.
Nodding his head, he replies telepathically. ''I''d have the chance to visit a vampire''s castle, how fun is that?''
Hearing his reply, HTC seems surprised.
[It''s not as grand as your citadel, host]
HTC deadpans with a nk-faced emoji.
''Back in my world, the media coverage for paranormal creatures was something to behold. It was all about vampires, werewolves, ghosts, demons, and the like. There were some movies about angels with wings that went crazy over the box office.''
Hisha smiles at the memory while rearranging his bag.
*****
In the castle hallways,
Vanas was walking down the corridor of the castle when he heard a dull thud behind him. Turning to see what happened, he finds a young woman lying unconscious on the ground.
''Ignore, it''s none of your business. It''s just a servant.''
Glistening in his pockets, the ruby caught his attention, which he notices has a glowing color to it. ''Strange.''
Groaning, thedy slowly opens her eyes.
"I''m so sorry for being so clumsy, Count. Vanas" Thedy apologizes while getting up. "I had lost control of my transformation and fell unconscious for a bit."
"Who are you?" Vanas asks, finding himself strangely intrigued by the maid.
She had her fingers twirling around her maroon hair. She is dressed in a ck maid dress. Her maroon hair was tied in a ponytail, adding to her innocent appearance.
"My name is Willow, I am the new personal maid to the Countess, Siadra."
"I see, well I don''t me you for losing control, it had been a full moon the previous day."
Hiding underneath her dress is a small ruby attached to her leg.
She takes a step forward, swaying her hips and revealing her cleavage by opening two buttons, which was almost too much exposure for Vanas.
His mind instantly shes back to when he was in his room and the sight of his wife ying dress up in a maid''s outfit instantly brought him back to reality.
Gulp!
Vanas'' eyes bulge at the proximity between herself and him. Feeling a growing desire built within him.
Willow looks down at the bulge in his pants, noticing his growing attraction towards her.
''The build-up is working.'' She beams in her thoughts.
Cold sweat drips down his forehead as he tries to battle unclean thoughts flooding his senses.
Her eyes sparkle with excitement as she leans in for a whisper, "i-if you would allow me, I will give you a massage to make up for it."
Vanas stutters in his words, having trouble making a response to such an offer.
''Resist... you have a loving wife!'' Vanas repeatedly told himself in his head.
He felt a hand run down his back before moving to his shoulders. Willow gently massaged his body with her hands, sending waves of pleasure through his body.
"Ooh!" A moan escapes Willow''s lips.
"This feels so good."
''Yes it does,'' He answers in his mind, hoping the cloak that seethes off him would obscure his facial expression except he manually shows the rest.
An erotic image shes through his mind causing Vanas to growl.
Willow continues her massage, causing the both of them to groan in pleasure. Vanas couldn''t help but let out a few moans of his own, feeling more aroused by this young woman than he ever had in his life.
With every rub of her hands, his member grew harder.
Willow''s nipples start to harden, pressing against her dress, her breasts rising slightly.
Her boobs were reallyrge for a vampire, close to the size of Vanas'' wife''s, who was the most beautiful woman in the Radomir.
A lustful thought shed into Vanas'' mind.
''Do it... do it now!''
At thest minute, he holds onto her arm and pushes her off. "This isn''t meant to happen. Back off."
Willow pauses in her massage, looking down at Vanas, a slight sadness in her eyes as she walks away from him.
Vanas quickly turns around to find his way back to his room.
*****
In his chambers, Vanas sits down on his chair, trying to calm down. His heart was racing like a beast during a hunt.
''What is happening to me?'' He wonders.
He lies back in his chair and stares at the ceiling. Images of Willow''s cleavage, her plump ass, and her sulent thighs sh through his mind.
Suddenly, Vanas''s mind goes nk.
Click!
Siadra walks in and finds her husband staring at the ceiling, his breathing heavy.
There was something strange about the glow in his eyes.
Rushing over to his side in worry, Siadra kneels in front of him. "What happened? You look flushed."
Vanas attempts to speak but his throat is dry. He gulped down some saliva and swallowed.
His breathing ragged as his gaze focused on her cleavage. The glow in his eyes fluctuated as he continuously tried to stay in control.
Siadra can feel her temperature rise as she realizes what is going through her husband''s mind.
Siadra takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "Your libido must be acting up again, just ignore it and try and get some sleep."
Siadra ces her hands under his chin, forcing him to look at her.
Vanas holds her hand rather tightly, trying to control his urges from escting.
"Siadra, can we..." He groans, his voice strained.
"Go ahead," She smiles seductively.
Vanas stands up, his lust oveing him. He grabs Siadra by her waist and pulls her against him. "I need you."
Siadra snuggles against him, feeling his rock-hard member press against her stomach. ''Oh my!''
*****
Willow has her hand ced on the door, a wicked grin stered on her face.
She couldn''t understand why there were no guards stationed at the door, attributing it to how pompous the Count was and how it was ying to her advantage by sneaking up on them.
''The n is working, master!'' Willow grins as she listens.
She could hear the sounds of moaning and groaninging from inside the room.
''Mmmmm... dearie, be gentle!'' Siadra chastises.
Peering in through the keyhole, Willow can see Vanas and Siadra kissing passionately as he rips her dress off her body.
Siadra starts to cry in arousal, her mouth covered as Vanas thrusts violently from behind.
Willow let out a little chuckle at the disy, before pulling away.
To her shock, the whole area was slowly covered in blue Sux, triggering her defensive mode.
"State your ce!" A voice booms from behind her.

Chapter 189 Do It Harder! ?
[R18]
*****
Willow spins around, ready to fight, only to find a guard standing before her.
"I didn''t know you enjoyed a show, Lady Willow, would you want something like that?"
Willow''s brows furrow at the mannerism, slowly catching on, she has her hand over her mouth in shock, wondering if it could be her master with a new disguise.
Willow observes him, still skeptical about him being the one and needing to be sure it was him. With her hands behind her, she slips out her dagger.
"I am the personal handmaid to Countess Siadra, it''s only natural that I tend to her needs, and was just about leaving," Willow exins, stalling enough time to execute her ns.
Walking towards him, she has a bright smile on her face. "I apologize for my behavior, could I get back to my quarters?"
Before the guard could respond, sheunched herself at him.
Sp! nk!
"Ow!" She whimpers as she rubs her fingers
Willow looks over to the dagger deflected from her hands and impaled into the wall nearby.
The guard looks at the dagger and grins maliciously, he then walks over and pulls out the weapon.
[You can drop the act, host! She gets the memo]
''I wasn''t, she just didn''t get it.'' Hisha retorts.
"That''s what happens when you attack your master!" He replies with a flick of his tongue.
Falling face first, she doesn''t dare look him in the eye. "Master, I apologize for my actions. Please forgive me."
He reaches down and helps her up, cing her dagger back in her hand. "Don''t make a habit of this kind of foolishness, use your ability instead."
"Yes, Master!" Willow bows her head in shame.
Pulling her by the arm, Hisha leads her to an abandoned room he had found while snooping around under the pretense of scouting as a guard in the castle.
Not putting up any resistance, Willow follows along without question.
Hisha closes the door and locks it behind them, coating its walls with his Sux to prevent any intrusion or sounds from escaping.
Turning to Willow, his lustful gaze was fixated on her lips which then trails over her body.
The thought that ran through his mind would have to be why he had not taken to ount his lustful urges returning like thest time.
This had been the main reason he had searched for Willow as she was the only one he could easily get without raising suspicions.
"Master, is anything wrong?" Willow asks nervously.
Hisha leans forward in between her legs and runs his hands over her breasts. "Nothing is wrong, but your scent is driving me crazy."
Willow bites her lip as she feels him groping her.
"The task is to get my desired results, right?" He whispers.
"Yes, Master!" Willow mumbles, barely audible due to a change in her breathing patterns.
Hisha kisses her hard on the lips, savoring every moment before pulling away momentarily.
Willow gasps for air, biting down on her bottom lip.
''I don''t have to be bothered by this anymore.'' Hisha reminds himself as he stares at Willow.
His eyes fell upon her chest, noticing her nipples were erect and poking through her dress.
He bends down and licks his way down her neck, taking in her sweet-smelling perfume.
Willow takes a deep breath, closing her eyes. The pleasure was much more intense than before.
Hisha smirks as he unzips her dress and yanks it down to her waist, exposing her breasts.
Gasping, Willow looks down at her breasts, a bit embarrassed.
A loud moan escapes Hisha''s lips as he runs his tongue over her sensitive ares.
''I need to get back on track soon!'' Hisha thinks to himself as his hunger for Willow grows.
Pushing her onto the bed, Hisha mounts her from behind.
Grabbing both of her hands, he pins them above her head.
"Tell me what you want." He growls into her ear, the sound of his voice sending shivers throughout her body.
"Please, Master!" Willow moans as her body quakes from the excitement.
Licking his lips, Hisha reaches around and grabs her ass.
"Let me know how I make you feel," he whispers, before bringing his lips to her ear.
"I..." Willow pants. Her words were cut off by a kiss on her back.
Her back arches, pressing her bosoms together.
Hisha groans at her reaction, grabbing her hips and grinding against her repeatedly with his cock slipping in and out of her closed thighs.
Hissing, he pushes her legs apart and thrusts balls deep into her folds, moaning loudly.
"Fuck! It''s still as tight as before" He exims.
Willow breathes heavily, her heart beating rapidly.
Hearing his moans, she opens her eyes, looking back at him.
Hisha was in mid-stroke, his eyes fixed on hers.
Willow looked up at him, feeling the pressure of his cock inside her.
Hisha grunts and starts pumping fast from behind.
"Ohh! Mm...! Ahhhh!" Willow moans, her nails grabbing onto the sheets.
"Give me a taste of your essence!" Hisha demands, grunting as he pumps in and out of her.
The thrill he feels whenever he could have his way and dominate totally with his creation without thinking about feeling was elevating, to say the least.
"Ahhh...! Ohhhhh!" Willow screams, matching the rhythm of his thrusts.
She felt his cock swell up, forcing more of its length inside her.
She looks back at him, her eyes full of desire as she watches him thrust violently into her.
Hisha could feel the heat radiating from her cunt, mixing with his arousal. His need was growing quickly as he watched her eyes roll back in ecstasy.
He pulls out of her and turns her over so that she is facing him.
Willow bites her lower lip as her eyes dart down to his shaft.
"Take me, Master!" She moans as she wraps her arms around his neck.
Adjusting his stance, Hisha positions himself over her.
Hisha snickers as he feels her wetness seeping onto his member.
He grabs her hips, lining himself up with her slit.
He slowly pushed his hips forwards and sank deep into her folds.
She gasps for air as he fills herpletely again.
Hisha snarls as he begins to move in and out of her.
Her body shakes, trying to keep up with his pace.
Hisha begins to pound into her faster, thrusting into her tight tunnel.
"Oh lord, yes! Do it harder than he would do to me soon!" Willow moans, meeting each of his thrusts.
Making a pause at first, Hisha realized she had undoubtedly reminded him of what he had nned.
Driving a wedge in the couple''s rtionship was his one ticket at getting Vanas wrapped around his fingers.
Willow observes him, misinterpreting his thinking as hesitation.
She decides to take matters into her own hands by moving her legs around him, opening herself up for him.
Hisha growls as her cunt grips his cock like a vice.
"Yes! Like that!" Willow moans as she grinds against him.
Hisha lets out an amused chuckle at her eagerness.
"I shall do it my way now," he says with a devilish grin.
Bucking her hips in a tease, she tightens her walls around his cock.
''You would like to y the game that way, huh?''
Grinning at her response, he begins pounding her roughly, grunting as he drives in and out of her hole.
With a look of determination, Hisha starts pounding her even harder, driving into her with every ounce of strength.
"Yes! Yes! YES!" Willow moans loudly, her nipples hardening from the pleasure, as Hisha grunts, mming into her hard.
"You''re so tight! So hot!" He growls. "So wet! I can''t hold off much longer!"
Hisha thrusts into her as fast as he can, grunting as he tries to sumb to his urges.
''Do not bring up the interface whenever it is my creation!'' Hisha desperately orders, feeling that could ruin the build-up he has worked to achieve.
[As you wish, host]
With his seed building up inside his shaft, he cannot help but think of how good it would feel when he shoots it all into her womb.
Willow''s face contorts in pleasure, her eyes rolling into the back of her head as she orgasms.
Her body shudders as she climaxes, gripping him tightly with her inner muscles.
Hisha groans loudly as her insides squeeze his cock, milking out every drop of semen inside him.
Willow''s eyes flutter open, seeing him staring at her with a satisfied grin.
Hisha looks down at her, and leans forward to kiss her on the forehead before pulling away to whisper the words: "Thank you."
Their lips meet as he begins to rx his grip on her.
Pulling out, he lies down beside her, sighing as he closes his eyes.

Chapter 190 Dire Need For A Release °
[Slightly R-18]
*****
"Master..." Willow says softly, nuzzling against his chest.
They lie still for a while, enjoying each other''spany, up until the timer reminds him of his limited time with his disguise.
[31:02:00]
With Willow having less than two days left before she will be gone, he needed to enact his n as soon as possible.
Thest thing he wanted was for Vanas to discover that he had been behind Willow''s appearance and the duel back at the tavern.
He knew that it wouldn''t be long before he started asking questions and looking for answers so he could report to him the next day.
That was the moment when he would need to make his move.
"Master, do you think he''s going to fall for the temptation?" Willow asks nervously.
"He will, don''t worry about that," Hisha replies confidently.
"What if he doesn''t and continues till the spell on the ruby wears off? What happens then?" She asks, her voice trembling slightly.
"Then you would have to be there the moment he gets confused about his insatiable desires, only then would he be vulnerable enough to ept your offera€"actually, any offer," Hisha replies, stroking her hair.
Willow nods her head, looking at the strapped ruby on her ankle which still glowed brightly, signaling Vanas is still engaged in one form of a sexual act.
Hisha stares at the ruby for some while before muttering. "It''s slowly revealing his deepest desires and unlocking the beast within, the longer he''s at it, the harder it will be to get his release."
''Sooner orter, he wouldn''t be able to resist and would stop at nothing until he satisfies that urge.'' Hisha continues in his thoughts with a grin.
Willow nods her head again, keeping her eyes locked onto the ruby.
"I''ll be there to keep the Countesspany," Hisha whispers, smiling down at her.
His fingers trail down her cheek, giving her a soft kiss on the lips. "I will put things in ce, it will go as nned."
*****
In Vanas'' chambers,
Vanas pulled off Siadra andid on the bed with a dissatisfied frown, his hand moving down to rub his hard member.
''Why can''t I get my release?'' He thought as he scoured her body with his gaze, his hands roaming along her curves.
Siadray beside him, curled into a ball as she wept, her hair covering her face. Her body was covered with scratch marks and small cuts, and blood leaked from each wound she sustained.
Slowly healing her wounds, she cries silently as she wraps her arms around herself.
''That wasn''t what I signed up for,'' she thinks quietly, her mind struggling to process what happened.
She didn''t want to give in to him, but something deep inside her was telling her to help him and itter turned to regret.
Her tears ran down her cheeks, soaking the sheets as she held her knees close to her chest.
The sound of him stroking himself echoed in her thoughts as she tried to shut her ears.
Vanas had been so caught up in the moment, he couldn''t even remember how many times he came inside her but still felt hard and unsatisfied.
Opening his eyes, he looks down at her, seeing her sobbing and trying to hide.
At that moment, his hands drop from his shaft, and he crawls towards her, lifting her tear-stained face with his hands.
"My beloved, please forgive me," Vanas pleads, reaching out to her.
She looked up at him, her eyes full of tears, unable to speak.
"You are everything to me, I never wanted to hurt you," He begs, hugging her tightly.
''But I need to get this out of my system.'' He thinks with a sigh, disturbed by his unhinged desire to consummate.
Siadra reaches up to hold him, burying her head in his shoulder, crying uncontrobly, wanting to beforted by him.
The sound of his heartbeat filled her ears, calming her nerves and soothing her soul.
Subconsciously, his hand reaches into her slit, putting a finger in.
Pushing hard on his chest, she pushes him away, wiping her tears with the back of her hand.
"Please... stop." She gasps, trying to catch her breath.
"Why?" He asked, pulling her back into his embrace.
"Because you''re hurting me! I need some rest." She cries.
Vanas stares at her, then at his throbbing cock. ''But... I...''
Getting to her feet, she pulls on her robe and slips it on in a haste.
"Get out!" She snaps, her voice breaking as she points at the door.
Looking up, he sees tears in her eyes. His heart breaks at the sight of what he had done, he didn''t want to lose her but he needed to get his release also.
"Fine," Vanas says in a whisper, getting to his feet, pulling on his robe from the nearby chair, and walking towards the door with a heavy sigh.
"When you doe back, please bring back the Vanas I love," Siadra begs.
He stops in front of the door, his heart breaks from her words, but he forces a smile and turns around to reply. "I''ll try."
Reaching the door, he opens it, and steps outside.
Siadrays back down, curling into a fetal position as she cries.
''What have I done?'' She thinks to herself.
*****
Two hourster,
Siadra was standing outside the door, her hand on the handle, waiting for Vanas to return.
She watches as the door handle moves, signaling him toe back inside.
Taking a deep breath, she holds it and slowly opens the door.
Slipping in, her mood was immediately elevated upon seeing her husband, his face weary but his eyes warm.
"I''m sorry I kicked you out, it was not my intention." Siadra apologizes, taking his hand.
He smiles at her, kissing her forehead.
"It''s okay, I understand." He replies.
"I know I shouldn''t have been too insensitive." Siadra continues.
"No, I should''ve kept control of myself and not let my lust take over," He adds, rubbing her shoulders.
[If I didn''t know better, I would have almost fallen for your tricks just as she has]
''His wife is here worrying even though her lust had been spiked up a bit, and yet Vanas is forcing his uncontrolled desires on numerous maidens he could find while using a disguise.'' Hisha counters with a roll of his eyes.
''That sly vampire!'' Hisha internally facepalms at the thought of Vanas resorting to that to find some sort of release.
Siadra ces her head on his chest, smiling sheepishly and relishing in the peaceful feeling his arms gave her.
Hisha tried his best to maintain the act, humming as he recalls when he witnessed Vanas thrusting into a maid behind the pir of the main hall.
''It''s only a matter of time before he seeks out Willow.'' He replies.
[Are you going to do the same to her?]
''I need to keep Vanas'' status at its peak, shouldn''t I? While doing so I''d subtly use the faults to cause him to ruin.''
[Such a wise host]
HTC ces numerous smirking emojis to mock him.
''There is no way I''d let Vanas have all the fun!'' Hisha replies, stroking Siadra''s hair.
Without thinking, she wraps her hand around his neck and pulls him close, kissing him deeply.
''Woah!'' Hisha''s eyes widened, surprised at the sudden kiss.
[That was fast]
"Sorry..." Siadra apologizes, her cheeks flushed as she looks away.
Hearing this, Hisha pulls back her chin with one hand and kisses her neck.
"You don''t have to be sorry, I''m just d that you''re alright." He whispers to her.
"I am too," Siadra answers breathlessly, reaching up to hold him.
As he pulls her in for another kiss, his tongue fights against hers and his hands reach for her ass, pulling her closer.
As their tongues dueled, his hand moved down to stroke her breast, pulling the robe open.
Siadra moaned softly, her legs wrapping around his waist as she ground her hips into his erection, wanting more.
"I can handle it." She whispers into his ears.
''If he had any ounce of patience, he would have still had a chance to fight off the effects of the ruby and get it done with her.'' Hisha thinks deeply with a sigh.
The two break apart, looking into each other''s eyes for a moment before Siadra pulls him close again as she whimpers, "please be gentle this time."
"I will be gentle." He murmurs, kissing her lips once more, then moving his hands to unsp her robe from its belt.
Looking down, she gasped at the sight of her breasts exposed to him, her nipples hardening as they were exposed.
Pulling her robe open further, he cups her breast, squeezing them lightly, smiling at how responsive she was.
"Your breasts are so soft and beautiful," Hisha whispers, leaning in to suckle on her nipple, eliciting a moan from her as he sucked on her pink bud.
He groans as he feels her hand move over his shaft, stroking him quickly, making him stiffen in response.
Siadra moans as he pulls her robepletely off and tosses it aside, revealing her naked body to him.
Chapter 191 I Dont Want To Die
Her skin glistened in the moonlight, her pink nipples erect, her stomach smooth and toned.
She felt her arousal growing as she watched him strip out of his clothing, his cock standing proudly before her.
"When did it get so big?" She murmured, staring down at his manhood.
? Hisha smirks, shifting her so that sheys on her back on the bed, spreading her legs wide open.
"This would be memorable." He whispers, leaning in to kiss her thighs, teasingly sticking two fingers in her inner thigh as she whines, her legs trembling.
*****
20 minutester,
Hishay on his side, watching as Siadra slept, his cock still inside of her.
Siadra has her arm draped over Hisha''s chest, breathing peacefully as he gently strokes her hair.
[Fetish: Cuckolding]
[27:45:09]
Slowly easing away, Hisha stops his movement and slowly pulls himself out of her.
"What are you doing?" Siadra mumbles sleepily.
"I need to relieve myself." He replies, getting up and heading into the bathroom.
"I am sleeping, go ahead without me." Siadra murmurs.
In the bathroom, he takes a look around, contemting his next move.
cing his hands on the wall, he closes his eyes and concentrates on his Sux flow.
[Visibility turned on]
The huffs and pants told him one thing, his n had undoubtedly worked.
''I had high hopes for you, Vanas. I thought this would be easy for you to resist with a wife as faithful as she is.'' Hisha thought as he sighed.
Once finished, he left the bathroom, walking back into the bedroom where he saw Siadra lying there, her eyes closed and snoring lightly.
With a smile, Hisha sees Vanas let out a satisfying moan as he falls over Willow.
"You''re so tight!!" Vanas moans as his waist still moves from the aftereffects of his climax.
[Let the fun begin!] Hisha converses with Willow who had a wicked grin obscured from his vision as she held him close.
*****
In Willow''s quarters,
Hearing the distant steps of an official that came to a stop standing by the doorway, he is slightly distracted as he adjusts his robe.
Cursing under his breath, he rips out the stray gold thread as he prepares to tap on the door.
Crrk!
Before he could knock, he realized it was open and walked through the opened door Willow had intentionally left open.
Not daring to look up, he keeps his head lowered and proceeds to report what he had observed.
"My Count, we have been informed that you are going to be visiting the mines, are you sure you want to bring your¨C"
Vanas'' eyes double as he hears the paused words behind him.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" He growls as he turns around, only to see the advisor covering his mouth, his finger pressed against his lips.
Vanas pauses for a moment to process what he had heard even though he had given his identity out so quickly without thinking.
''Count? How did he know it was me with my disguise still on?'' He wonders with a frown.
''I guess he doesn''t know having sex with me would nullify the illusion he had created.'' Willow thinks with a wicked grin.
Not wanting to waste the perfect opportunity that had shown up, Willow wraps her arms around Vanas, subtly holding him back down to prevent him from running away so easily.
Willow lets out a low moan as she uses her legs to pull him closer, feeling his member push deep inside of her.
Hearing the cries of pleasure from Willow, Vanas turned towards her, his face red as he looked over at the advisor.
The advisor was frozen in ce by fear. It has been a rule to die if any male witnesses the Count performing the sacred ritual with any maiden or the Countess.
His heart thumped hard at the thought of facing the same fate in the end as this wasn''t a maiden who was recognized by everyone or epted by the Countess as a concubine for the Count.
''I can''t die!'' He thinks as he looks down at the pleasure expression on Willow''s face, her hips moving in rhythm as she bucks her hips on Vanas''shaft, his tip hitting her deepest parts each time her hips move.
Left with no choice, the advisor transforms into his bat form, flying away.
Vanas ms his hand down and pushes off Willow, his re fixated on the door. "This can''t work out now!" He grunts as he pulls on his robe.
He needed to go after that damn advisor before he could think straight and spread it to the rest of his castle or worse it gets out of the knowledge of Radomir.
"Count Vanas, I feel honored to have you in my quarters, but do you really need to leave so soon? We both know how much you enjoy your stay here." Willow says with a sweet voice, sitting up on the bed and looking over at him.
"Don''t even try to make mee back!" Vanas snarls as he grabs his robe and slips it on, heading towards the door.
"But... you''re the all-powerful Count, I promise to keep this a secret. Don''t you want to spend some more time together?" Willow asks hesitantly, standing up and following him outside.
"Damn you, Willow! Never speak of this or you would be like the rest!" Vanas snaps, pushing her off himself as he moves quickly away from her, leaving the room in search of the advisor.
Willow sits on the floor, suddenly realizing how she had been fortunate enough to still be alive.
Sighing, she rolls over andys back down, her arms falling to her sides as she stares at the ceiling, her mind running away with thoughts of what had just happened.
''He had killed those other maids?!'' She thinks to herself. ''Would he have killed me if not for the distraction?''
She closes her eyes, trying to block everything out, but all she could remember was Hisha''s hand on her body.
Her breathing grows heavy as she feels the ache between her thighs, her body crying out for more.
[You did great, Willow] Hishamends telepathically, nodding his head from his side.
''Thank you, master, I wouldn''t have been able to do this without your help..." Willow says as she stands up, making her way to the closet and slipping on some clothes.
*****
pping his wings, the advisor repeatedly looks behind him as he makes his way out of the castle.
His heart thumps in his chest as he thinks about the Count and the maid.
No one knew anything about a possible extra rtionship.
Quite a number of theM had heard of the rumors but never thought it real as those who had spread them were killed, but he knew for a fact that what he saw was real.
''He did look like he could kill me even if this was real!'' The advisor recalls, slightly out of breath as he ducked under a branch of a tree.
He was so close to death that he felt as though he could hear the sound of his heart pounding in his ears.
Still, he had made it through without getting noticed. Feeling safer than before, the advisor turns his attention to the direction he was going.
He didn''t know where he was headed¨CStraton, but he knew he couldn''t go home. If the Count ever found out about this, he would surely be dead, too.
Sp!
Screeching in pain, the advisor stops flying and reverts to his normal form so he could pull out an arrow that is stuck deep inside his shoulder.
Noticing the blue liquid that was mixed with his blood as it drips onto the ground below, he groans loudly.
''Have I been caught so easily that they would stall my healing till they get me?'' He hisses, holding his arm tightly against his torso while limping forward.
Looking around, he sees nothing suspicious nearby; there are only trees surrounding him.
The sun has set already, casting shadows across thend. It seemed safe enough to continue walking until nightfall when he could transform again and heal a lot faster.
The ruffling of the trees has him whipping his head left and right, searching for any sign of movement.
Nothing seems amiss except for the asional bird chirruping its song.
A twig breaks somewhere far ahead causing him to freeze instantly. A shadow passes by overhead, followed closely by another. They seem to move slowly, almost leisurelypared to their usual pace.
His red eyes glow as he snarls. "Who are you?!"
Chapter 192 This Wont End Well
10 minutes ago,
Vanas had just stepped out of the maid''s quarters and changed his appearance to his original form as he called on his knights to search for the advisor.
Bowing to his order, they nod and transform to go in search of the official.
Vanas sighs deeply as he walks along the path, keeping his senses alert. His instincts tell him something isn''t quite right with the reason the advisor had suddenly searched for him in such an unpredictable ce.
''How could he suddenly tell my true form?'' He wonders aloud, looking into the ceiling above. There wasn''t anyone else in the hallway beside the two guards he had posted near the entrance leading to his chamber to protect his beloved.
''I''m sorry beloved, I fell for my uncontrolled lust again.''
The more he thinks about the need to get the advisor, the more his zeal was to shield Siadra from ever finding out about his past misdeeds or the one had been caught in.
As he walks, he feels a hand grab his shoulder and he turns around, ready to attack on impulse.
His fists were suspended mid-air however as he took notice of Siadra standing behind him, wearing nothing except a nightie.
"Beloved?" Vasas asks quietly, feeling embarrassed at being hugged so sweetly after what had happened.
Gulp!
He swallowed hard, feeling himself getting an erection from her soft breasts pressing against his back. She smells wonderful, reminding him of how much he loved her scent during sex. Her hair tickles his neck as well, sending shivers down his spine.
Siandra giggled softly, kissing his cheek gently. ''You''re blushing darling,'' she whispers lovingly.
Her hands caress his shoulders lightly as he tries not to react to the touch.
"Not here, beloved," Vanas whispers huskily, trying desperately to keep control over his body''s urges.
She nods silently then kisses his lips tenderly once more. Pulling away, she smiles brightly up at him.
Standing on her tiptoes, Siadra pecks his nose yfully making himugh nervously.
''She seems to be in a good mood, unlike thest time she had sent me out.'' He muses, smiling warmly towards his wife.
Taking hold of both sides of his face between hers, Siadra leans forwards and nts a kiss on his forehead. Then moving downwards, she ces small gentle smooches all over his cheeks.
Whispering into his ear she seductivelyments. "I didn''t think we''d have guards stationed outside our chambers tonight," she purrs teasingly.
Vanas growls lowly, pulling her closer still. The feel of her bare skin touching his own sends waves of pleasure coursing throughout his entire body.
''No! You can''t do that with her, not after what you did and that fool is still on the loose!'' He thinks frantically, letting out a frustrated grunt.
Pulling away slightly, he looks into her beautiful green orbs before whispering.
"We''ll talkter, beloved..."
*****
Hisha whistles as he paces about the room he had gotten as a guard, waiting patiently for him to get a confirmation on the news from the advisor.
[Do you think she would be able to get him in time?]
''I believe she can do it, after all, she was made with certain characteristics and abilities.''
[If you say so, host]
''Master, I have been able to get the runaway advisor located within this forest. Should I bring him to you alive or dead depending on your preference?''
Hisha turns on the visibility, seeing through her eyes as she casually drags a body in a sack across the ground.
[Alive, he''s crucial in the execution of this n]
''Alright, master.'' Willow replies, nodding her head, taking a different route to the castle.
Looking forward, he sees several other bodies lying lifeless nearby. All of them look simr to each other; vampires dressed in ck robes. Their faces are coveredpletely save for their mouths which are wide open revealing sharp fangs.
[Every time you create a puppet, they turn out to be monstrous beings trapped in a cute or stunning beauty that entices the targets with sex appeal until death or trouble ensues]
''I won''t deny it, I do enjoy the sex part and there are times when I want someone who will obey without questions, like myself.'' Hisha chuckles darkly.
Turning off the visibility, he returns to his seat by the window overlooking the city below.
[27:07:03]
He knew all it takes is to wait it out till dawnes and everything should go ording to n. After all, no matter where he is, he always has a way home.
*****
A few hours pass since Vanas left his bed, leaving only Siadra alone inside sleeping soundlessly.
His mind wandered aimless thoughts while staring nkly at the wall opposite his headboard. It felt strange having Siadra sleep so peacefully while his mind raced endlessly.
It wasn''t long though before he heard footstepsing along the hallway leading to his bedroom door.
Knock!
Knock!
The series of sessive faint knocks on his door had him approach the moment he could understand what the knocks meant.
Click!
Slipping out of the room, he closes the door behind him carefully listening intently to see if anyone else came close enough to hear anything.
Nothing!
Instead, a hooded vampiress stood just beyond the doorway looking around curiously. A pair of red glowing eyes stared right past him, taking note of every detail possible before bowing to his presence.
He looked calm knowing full well why she might''vee knocking and taken such a huge gap between them.
"My Count," she says respectfully. Her voice sounded soft but deep from under the cloak covering most of her features. She bows again deeply. "I have some news to report regarding advisor Amon''s whereabouts."
Smiling gently, he walks slowly toward her, stopping short of reaching her. Looking down at her kneeling form, he smirks softly.
Reaching out, he grabs one side of her robe lifting it high above her waist exposing her nakedness beneath. Releasing her, he moves back further allowing her to stand upright.
Her hands move quickly to adjust her robe once more, hiding fully.
Standing tall now, she smiles brightly up at him. "Thank you, my Count!"
His smile grows wider showing rows of white teeth. "You''re wee¡ now tell me, did you get him?"
Thedy looks down dejectedly and shakes her head sadly. "Unfortunately, no. However-"
Before she finishes speaking, he cuts her off and snaps, "Then how dare you show yourself here? What were you thinking?!"
She gasps quietly, lowering her gaze. "I apologize, Count, please forgive an errant servant''s mistake. Please allow me to report what clues we found."
Nodding silently, he watches her closely as she begins talking.
"Our sources say he''s headed towards the citadel." She pauses briefly, ncing over her shoulder nervously.
''This won''t end well.'' She whispers mentally.
Punching on the wall, Vanas growls causing thedy to jump back slightly.
Turning away from her, he continues ring straight ahead ignoring any attempts by thedy to speak to him.
After a minute passes, he finally speaks. "Take two knights and get him before he does what I think he''ll try doing next. If not..."
Thedy lowers her head before whispering. "What would happen then, my Count?"
Vanas sighs heavily, turning to face her. The anger is still evident in his expression. "If this doesn''t work, I''m going after him. No matter where he goes, I shall find him and end him with my bare hands."
Thedy raises her head slowly and her jaws drop at the sight of the Countess leaning against the wall watching attentively.
Siadra stands motionless, unmoving, waiting patiently for whatever happens next.
Vanas turns sharply facing her. "Beloved? How long have you been standing there!?"
Sighing loudly, Siadra steps forward, wrapping her arms tightly around Vanas'' neck and pulling him into another passionate kiss.
Vanas was lost in the depths of passion forgetting anyone present including himself. All that mattered to him at the moment was Siadra.
Thedy lowers her head, feeling embarrassed yet relieved seeing their disy. Turning swiftly, she gives them a sense of privacy.
Vanas pulls free from Siadra''s lips releasing her hand and letting it fall limply onto her hip.
Breaking from the kiss, she replies in a whisper. "Long enough."
Vanas'' heart pounds in his thoughts as to what this could mean.
She takes a nce at the hoodeddy and back at Vanas before asking, "why do you seek Amon''s life?"
Chapter 193 Just Follow The Directions
"He betrayed our tribe and needs to face justice." He answers coldly.
Siadra nods, understandingpletely.
''That''s it, believe just that and I''d do my part to make sure you never know.'' He thinks.
The hooded female gives a bow, announcing her departure and hoping she could excuse herself to carry out the task given to her and the rest.
Nodding his head, he waves his hand in dismissal.
Whoosh!
Letting out a sigh, Vanas looks down at Siadra, caressing her cheek with his thumb.
''It will be hard though... so very difficult if I don''t get him before lord Hisha does! I need answers!!'' He screams inwardly.
Siadra smiles as she pulls him towards their arranged chambers. "Let''s go inside for now, we''ve had enough trouble for one night, dear."
''My troubles have just begun.'' Vanas corrects in his thoughts, reluctantly going along.
*****
In Straton,
Standing in front of a draper''s stall, Amon stares intently at several pieces hanging behind ss windows. Each piece has intricate designs woven throughout its fabric making each unique. Some are simple while others take hours upon days toplete.
His eyes cautiously rove across every single item disyed within the shop window. Finally settling on something, he reaches inside grabbing hold of the cloth. Pulling it outside, he holds it up admiring the design and carefully inspecting all sides.
''This would be good for a disguise.'' He thought about looking at the pattern. It had many colors which made it easy to hide among other people wearing simr clothing.
"This would suit you perfectly," A voice of the merchant saysing closer.
Amon nces up noticing the man approaching. Smirking lightly, he responds, "thank you sir but I can only pay half price since these aren''t exactly new."
Looking disappointed, the merchant frowns deeply. "Half?! That''s outrageous! These items should cost three times that much or even four depending on condition!"
Flinching, Amon pleads in a whisper for the man not to shout out loud about this matter as there were soldiers from the citadel patrolling nearby who could hear them talking. Thest thing he needed was someone else to know about his presence.
The merchant sighs heavily, shaking his head sadly. Looking around nervously, he whispers back quietly, still staring at Amon. "I''m sorryd; we have no choice because these clothes had taken quite some time to create by hand. We''re lucky enough to sell any at such prices considering how these garments were recently open for sale..."
Shaking his head slightly, Amon replies softly, too afraid to speak loudly lest one of the soldiers passing by notice what is going on between himself and the seller.
After hearing everything said thus far, however, he decides on buying two sets of outfits instead of just one. One set consists of pants along with shirts matching those worn during summer, whereas another consists of long-sleeved tunics like winter wear. Both pairs alsoe equipped with boots designed specifically for walking over rough terrain.
As soon as payment arrangements are settled, Amon gives a slight bow towards the vendor thanking him profusely then leaves heading straight toward where he had been directed to Miss Zin.
Once arriving at his destination, he knocks gently once more waiting patiently until she opens the door allowing him entry without question.
Walking past her desk, he sits down taking off both shoes and cing them neatly beside hers. Then sitting cross-legged facing forward resting against the wall next to the doorway.
"Miss Zin, I am... here to see Lord Hisha''s representative?" He asks politely awaiting an answer.
Zin smiles warmly, nodding slowly. She stands moving into the room, closing the doors after entering, leaving him alone again.
Returning, she sits on an empty chair opposite Amon smiling brightly. Her smile quickly fades when seeing the look of concern etched onto his features.
She leans forwards speaking in a low yet audible voice despite being quiet. "You feel nervous and terrified about what awaits you?"
Amon ps his hand on the table and leans forward, whispering harshly. "...yes miss, but how do you know?!"
Her expression softens somewhat watching him closely. After a moment, she speaks calmly trying to reassure him.
"...because your fear shows through in the way you sit hunched over right now. You''ve got goosebumps running up and down your arms and legs. Your breathing seems shallow and rapid. And most importantly, you keep ncing left and right constantly fearing someone might overhear us talk."
Nodding silently, Amon exhales sharply feeling relieved that it had nothing to do with what he had thought.
He had wondered why the mysteriousdy that had rescued him seconds before he could be captured had told him to meet Zin.
But regardless of whatever reasons may exist, he knew he couldn''t let go of the opportunity presented to him.
If things went well, perhaps he could find answers regarding why he was forced to be on the run.
Either way, he feltpelled to follow orders given to him to meet a woman known simply as Miss Zin.
"You''re thinking about your safety, am I right?" Zin asked curiously, eyeing him.
Smiling faintly, Amon nods briefly replying, "Yes miss, I don''t want anyone looking for me if they happen to stumble upon my location so easily. So yes, please forgive the inconvenience caused due to having to wait till nightfall."
Zin nods her head in understanding, but that didn''t stop her from questioning further. "As a vampire, do you think it''s wise to remain indoors throughout the day? Wouldn''t that be the same for the rest after you?"
Hearing this, Amon furrows his brows wondering whether the others really did sleep all day while everyone else remained awake.
His head whips up in shock, realizing something he had missed, "how did you know they are after me?"
Seeing his reaction, Zin chuckles amused saying, "it wasn''t hard to figure out actually, my master has told me all about you and your woes."
''He has told me a lot more than you could ever imagine, it''s only natural to wait it out and see how well you can be useful to him.'' She thinks with a smirk ying on her lips.
Leaning closer, Amon questions her on who her master is, needing to know if it was the same master that the hooded female had spoken of. But before he can ask anything else, she clicks her tongue and gets to her feet.
Looking back, she winks teasingly causing him to blush, slightly embarrassed.
"You should follow the directions without so many questions, it''s for the best if you would like to seek sce with the supreme overlord." She warns him sternly, making sure not to reveal herselfpletely.
Then turning away, she walks briskly across the floor disappearing behind the closed double doors leading outside.
Sighing tiredly, Amon looks away knowing there isn''t much point asking anymore since she wouldn''t tell him anyway.
Instead, he follows behind her obediently following instructions provided to him earlier. The sun setting rapidly casting shadows around him as he makes his way deeper inside the city walls.
The streets were busy even though dusk approached fast. People hurried home or headed somewhere to meet important deadlines. Some walked aimlessly lost in their thoughts whilst some looked bored staring nkly ahead.
Pulling him into an alleyway, Zin stops abruptly forcing him to halt too. Looking around cautiously, she turns to face him standing close enough for him to smell her sweet scent.
Reaching out, she ces one finger under his chin lifting his gaze upwards, and gazing deeply into his eyes. His heart beats faster than normal hearing her voice whisper softly.
''What''s going on?'' Amon wonders, his mind racing at the sudden change in events. ''Does she have a strong attraction towards me?! Is this some sort of trap?!''
Shaking his head slightly, he tries to clear his confusion by focusing instead on what she wants to say next.
"I''m going to give you a gift tonight..."
''Gift? Is it what I think it is? Is she offering...me...? No! That doesn''t make sense!'' He thinks frantically shaking off any such notions.
However, he soon finds himself nodding along agreeing to everything she might want to do.
Zin says quietly, taking another step backward and pulling her cloak tightly against her body. Then reaching beneath the folds of fabric covering her chest.
Amon''s eyes bulge in eager expectation, ''am I really going to do this here while I''m meant to be on the run?''
Chapter 194 Hide And Seek
His fantasies were short-lived the moment he saw her reach for something other than her undergarments.
When she pulls forth two small objects wrapped together. One is a silver ring that shines brightly reflecting light from its surface. It appears to be made using precious metals including gold and tinum. However, unlike other rings, it possesses no gemstones embedded in them.
''This is what was underneath? This is the best I can go with?'' Amon thought with a sigh of disappointment.
On top of that, the second object seems to resemble a ne hanging loosely between both hands. Its length extends down past her breasts revealing more skin underneath. A thin chain connects each end allowing it to dangle freely below her cleavage.
Amon''s breath hitches when he notices how smooth and soft her pale flesh looks. Her nipples appear erect peeking through the gaps where clothing covers most of her upper torso.
He swallows thickly, feeling nervousness take hold once again. Then he did a double take as he stared at her skin while remembering what he had fantasized about while looking. ''Pale flesh, pale skin!!!!''
"You''re a vampiress!" Amon blurts out, surprised by his discovery.
She smiles warmly seeing his surprise, then reaches forward cing the items gently into his hand. Smoothing her fingers over his palm, she watches closely waiting patiently until he takes notice of the gifts.
Taking note of the jewelry, he quickly nces downwards noticing the metal band encircling his wrist glow in response to the objects given to him. When he lifts his arm, he feels the weight resting upon his forearm.
Turning his attention back to Zin, he asks curiously why she gave these things to him.
Her smile widens showing white teeth glistening in the dim lighting. As well as the fangs slowly protruding just above her lips.
With a flick of her thumb, she removes the cloth wrapping exposing the contents hidden within. "These are my personal belongings," she exins, simply watching carefully as he examines the item.
Seeing nothing but pure lust burning bright in those dark orbs, Amon blushes furiously trying hard to hide his arousal.
After all, they aren''t alone right now. There could easily be someone else lurking nearby ready to pounce on him should anything happen.
But despite his fears, he couldn''t help admiring the beauty before him. Seeing her dressed up only heightened his desire further causing him to feel weak-kneed.
As expected, his cock stiffened instantly, bing rock solid.
''Oh fuck, no!'' He curses inwardly, unable to stop himself from reacting like this.
Clearing his throat and adjusting his stance so she wouldn''t see his erection growingrger by the minute.
Then after giving the ring a closer look; he holds it outwards examining the design engraved across its surface.
It features several symbols etched into the polished metal making use of different colors.
"This is beautiful." Hepliments them appreciatively, holding them higher and inspecting every detail.
Looking pleased, she nods, smiling happily, epting praise graciously. "Once Lord Hisha sees these items, he will understand you seek protection."
Skeptical about her words, Amon questions suspiciously. "...protection? With these things?"
Smiling sweetly, she replies confidently. "Yes, if you do happen to get into his citadel, this would be a good way to gain entry without having to fight your way inside.
You''ll need to wear one or both depending on whether you wish to enter via an entrance guarded by guardsmen. Or perhaps sneak around undetected, entering through secret passages used exclusively by high-ranking officials who serve the overlord directly."
At first, Amon didn''t believe her ims regarding getting ess to the lord''s private quarters. But considering his current situation, there isn''t much choice left avable to him. Sooner rather thanter, he must find some means of gaining passage into the citadel itself.
"Thank you." His voicees out strained due to his excitement.
Leaning in for a whisper in his ears, she sounds a fair warning. "If any of the items have a single scratch on it, it will revert to useless pieces of scrap metal. The same goes for the ring too. If either gets damaged beyond repair, you won''t have another chance to obtain such fine quality goods ever again."
Hearing her exnation, Amon gulps nervously wondering how exactly he ns to make sure none of their possessions be ruined during transit. Especially since he doesn''t know anyone here willing enough to carry something valuable along with them, then there was the issue of theft, being chased by those who knew him.
However, he decides not to dwell on that issue yet. Instead, he focuses on the task ahead. After all, he needs to figure out ways to infiltrate the fortress safely. Otherwise, he might never reach his goal.
"Now, go!" She urges in a whisper pushing him towards the streets outside.
Nodding his head, he gives a final wave before making his way forward.
Zin''s smile immediately fades and is reced with a twisted smirk knowing full well what he ns to aplish next.
However, she can also tell he still hasn''t figured everything outpletely.
"You''re in for a surprise!" Her eyes gleam wickedly as she reverts to Willow, turning away and heading deeper down the street leading off toward the city gates.
*****
The sun sets behind the horizon leaving the city bathed in darkness. It wasn''t long ago when Amon arrived at the gates leading into the inner part of town. However, even though nightfall came early today thanks to the winter season approaching fast; the roads were still busy with people going home after work.
The moon shines brightly illuminating thend below making its surface appear silver-white. It looks almost surreal especially since there isn''t much light pollution within the city limits.
Amon walks down the street heading eastward away from the main gate.
He hides the moment he sees a masked figure walking in his direction, pushing some of the locals aside while doing so. They don''t seem bothered however seeing the man wearing ck robes moving past them quickly.
His hooded cloak flutters gently in the wind blowing against his face. A pair of leather gloves cover each hand.
''Oh no! It''s them! How did they find me?'' He panics internally worried about his safety.
Using the crowd as a distraction, he makes his escape running back westbound hoping to lose track of whoever follows him.
Unfortunately, he soon realizes escaping is impossible given the sheer number of people milling around everywhere in simr clothing as they had. This made it harder for him to spot his pursuers who were out to kill him.
''Where are they?'' He thinks, looking frantically trying to spot someone following him.
After searching for quite some time, he finally spots two figures standing near the corner of the road where he had been earlier. One person stands tall towering above everyone else.
''All I need is a way to shake them off my tail and then get into the citadel.'' He nods his head to his n.
Wasting no time, he runs straight up to the nearest building using the wall for support until reaching the rooftop. There, he takes cover under the eaves bytching his legs on the edge of the rooftop. From there, he peeks cautiously watching the scene unfold below.
There, he notices three men dressed simrly to himself but unlike him, they aren''t hiding beneath cloaks. Their faces are visible despite theck of masks covering their features. Two of them stand guard facing outward while the third moves stealthily keeping watch inward.
''They followed me here!'' Amon curses mentally cursing his stupidity thinking nobody could follow him once he left Radomir.
His wristband glows brightly, corresponding with the ring he had ced on his finger moments prior. Both glow brighter together causing the surrounding area to give away his location.
In response, the men turn their heads scanning the rooftops nearby. Seeing nothing suspicious, they return their attention to the ground level.
Amon''s heart thumps as he bit down on his bottom lip as the words ''cloak'' was said on repeat in his thoughts.

Chapter 195 Bring Forth Our Guest!
Seeing this, Amon rushes across the open space between buildings jumping onto the other side without hesitation. Unfortunately, one of the men noticed him and shouted drawing the others over.
''Fuck this!'' Cursing silently, he tries desperately to hide inside an alleyway only to be spotted by the second group of cloaked individuals.
''I don''t deserve this treatment!'' His mind screams angrily, feeling betrayed by fate itself.
This had only fueled his motivation to meet with lord Hisha, if he could tell what he had seen, it would be an added advantage he could use in his favor.
As if reading his thought process, the first set of masked men approaches the entrance of the narrow passage forcing Amon to jump back just barely avoiding getting caught.
Once again, he jumps upwardsnding atop another building that happens to have a t roof. The same thing happened twice more resulting in several angry voices echoing throughout the vicinity.
Finally, he manages to get far enough away from both groups allowing him to breathe easier now that he knows it won''t happen anymore.
Looking downwards, he watches the soldiers move along the walls checking every nook and cranny possible. Eventually, they leave the area giving him hope things will calm down eventually and the chances of those vampires on his trail would be something he wouldn''t miss for anything.
It doesn''t take too long before the sounds of footsteps fade away signaling the end of his chase.
His face beams at the sight of the citadel looming ahead. As expected, the outer perimeter has already closed off due to curfew hours being enforced. Only authorized personnel may enter or exit during these times.
Hoping beyond all hopes, he decides not to go through the front door but instead makes use of the secret tunnel connecting the citadel directly underneath its grounds. This way, he can avoid any unnecessary trouble.
''It would seem Zin was right about what she had said.'' Amon smiles as he remembers her warning regarding theplexity of infiltrating the citadel.
He didn''t care because he knew deep down inside he couldn''t let such an opportunity pass him by regardless of whatever risks involved.
However, upon entering the underground passageway, he finds out how wrong he was. For right outside the hidden entry point lies arge contingent of soldiers waiting patiently for anyone who darese close.
''What the heck was I thinking?!'' He exims frustratedly knowing full well he should''ve listened when Zin had advised that he could have used the items and gotten preferential ess into the citadel.
Instead, he chose to ignore everything and went after his reasoning with his mind condemning him, ''now look where you ended up? In danger of your life! What are you going to do now?''
The sound of boots marching forward echoes within the dark corridor making him cringe nervously fearing for his life.
Chang!
He sees a spear impale into the floor beside him sending shivers coursing through his body. Instantly, he grabs hold of the weapon pulling it towards him ready to defend against further attacks.
*****
In the throne hall,
Hisha slouches in his chair staring nkly at the ceiling. A small smile forms on his lips seeing a middle-aged man beaten ck and blue lying unconscious on the floor.
"My lord, what should we do to him?" One of the soldiers asks, concerned looking around trying to find some sort of solution. "Should we kill him immediately so he cannot cause us problemster on."
Hisha stares at the body and lets out augh in disbelief. "Cause a problem for me?" Hisha''sughs sarcastically, shaking his head.
The soldiers look disturbed by his behavior, gulping and their lips were drawn in a thin line.
After taking a moment topose himself, Hisha continued speaking, his voice suddenly switched cold and sinister. "No, there isn''t much need to worry yourself over this matter. Kill him!"
He gives a nod to one of the soldiers standing behind him.
sh!
The soldier swings his sword cutting deeply into the neck of the victim. Blood spurts everywhere.
|Raw carnage level~199%+1%|
[Death]
[That was brutal, host]
HTC teases with grinning emoji.
Watching his carnage level increase, he couldn''t help but smirk in satisfaction,pletely ignoring HTC''s teasing tone.
''That should teach anyone who dares to try to infiltrate my territory,'' he thinks happily watching blood spread in a puddle beneath the corpse.
[No matter the warning, host, they will still keep trying]
The soldiers bow respectfully toward Hisha.

''If this keeps up, I''m bound to get what I want eventually.'' Hisha smiles at the hint of hope.
They all turn to leave while one drags out the dead body, leaving trails of blood as what was left of the corpse is carried away.
"My lord," one of the soldiers says, stopping abruptly and turning back to face Hisha''s direction.
Understanding what wasing next, Hisha nods and leans on his steepled fingers resting them above his chin.
"Bring forth our guest." He orders.
*****
Inside the dungeon,
Amon is sitting cross-legged on the cold hard wooden bedding trying his best to stay awake even though sleepiness threatens to overtake him. His eyes stare vacantly at nothingness, unable to focus properly. It feels like someone poured sand onto an open wound causing excruciating pain whenever he moves.
Condemning his actions from earlier today, he curses under his breath wishing he hadn''t done what he did back at the underground tunnel. However, he quickly realizes no amount of regret will change the fact that he decided to act without considering the consequences.
Creak!
He rushes toward the bars, holding onto them and desperately hoping to see something other than darkness. The only thing visible were four glowing gray orbs floating a few inches above the ground and several inches apart. They''re still connected through a stream of light flowing between each orb creating a web of energy that connects them all forming a square.
It had been ced to prevent him from changing into a vampire bat and escaping.
As if sensing his presence, the lights begin blinking rapidly. With trembling hands, he reaches out grabbing tightly onto both sides of the bar feeling its rough surface digging painfully into his palms.
His heart pounds wildly beating faster and harder every second passing by until finally, the first orb begins shing red followed closely thereafter by another two. Then three more before ending off with thest remaining gray ball turning red.
Zzzttt!
"Ahhhhh!" He yells in pain as his hands were razed with fire, causing him to fall backward andnd t on his rear end.
The sounds of ps echo throughout the room along withughter echoing inside Amon''s ears.
Looking down at his hand, he can feel blisters starting to form all across his palm. Looking up again, he notices a figure approach whileughing hysterically at his expense.
''Show your face, you piece of shit!''
With anger boiling deep within his veins, he stands slowly rising to his feet and facing the person approaching.
Infusing Sux into the orbs, the dungeon brightens instantly, illuminating the entire area surrounding him.
Standing tall and proud, was Kritz as his intimidating aura filled the air.
Upon seeing who it was, Amon lets out a yelp in surprise jumping backward and falling once more uponnding heavily hitting his tailbone making him grunt loudly.
Kritz chuckles, amused by his reaction. "For someone who tried to attack our soldiers, I would have thought you''d be able to stand against such little resistance."
Sighing angrily, Amon looks away not wanting to meet his gaze, and instead pleads for help, "I apologize for attacking those men; however, please I need to soak with lord Hisha."
Shaking his head, Kritz replies, "You are lucky enough that we haven''t killed you yet or else you wouldn''t get any mercy whatsoever."
Gulp!
Tears welled up in his eyes threatening to spill over while he cried out, "please don''t kill me, that''s the reason I came here in the first ce."
Kritz raises a brow to the excuse, thinking he is making things up. "What would you call a vampire caught and apprehended in our underground tunnel? The one who tries to engage with our soldiers and thinks he can escape this dungeon?"
Chapter 196 I Found You, You Traitor!
Amon coughs and replies, "I was only trying to seek help in saving my life."
He gasped in shock, realizing his items weren''t in his pockets, and judging from the near-death experience in the hands of the guards, it was only natural that they might have been damaged.
''Oh no!'' He thinks in a panic, realizing he couldn''t plead for help if he couldn''t identify himself.
Kritz res at him with a look of contempt, "And now you''re pleading for mercy and trying to beg for forgiveness. Are you stupid or just in arrogant?"
Hearing the words spoken by this brute of a Vandrik made Amon nervous; his mind went nk while his body trembled in fear.
"Let me guess, you want to know where your items are, right?" Kritz questions with a grin.
Amon nervously nods his head, not trusting himself to speak.
Kritz chuckles, "Well, let me tell you this, Your Paleness, there''s nothing left down here except dust and ashes. You may have lost your items but I''m sure you''ll have other things to think about once we''re done with you.
Two soldiers step in and stand beside Kritz. Both carryrge pikes. Their faces are covered with ck leather masks and their bodies are wrapped in thick armor.
Kritz then turns to the soldiers, "it''s time for our guest to pay for his crimes."
The guards nod their heads and raise their pikes high as they prepare to strike.
"NO! DON''T DO IT!" Amon shouts out, not wanting to die like this.
Both guards stop their pikes midair and turn back to re at him, revealing their distasteful expressions.
"Don''t worry," Kritz says, "we won''t kill you. However, where you''re going will feel as if you''re wishing for death instead."
Not knowing what to do, Amon cowers in fear.
Without hesitation, the two guards grip their pikes and swing them downward toward Amon''s head.
Amon closes his eyes preparing for the worst.
"AHHHHHH!"
Just when he thought he was dead, Amon opens his eyes and finds himself lying t on his chest with a dull ache running through his whole body.
Kritz stands silently observing Amon being dragged away by guards. After witnessing the scene unfold, he sighs deeply before turning around and heading towards the door.
*****
After several minutes had passed since leaving the room, Amon finally stops struggling under the weight of the guard dragging him along behind him. His legs felt weak after having walked so far without rest. It wasn''t long until he found himself standing outside a huge door.
''Where is this ce?'' He wondered, shaking his head in protest.
The door mysteriously opens the moment they step forward into its presence.
Looking in front of him, he sees an enormous hall lined with pirs holding up the ceiling above. There isn''t much lighting inside due to how dark it already is within the building. A faint glow emanates from torches ced throughout the walls lining both sides of the hallway leading deeper into the depths below ground level.
As soon as they enter the doorway, the sound of footsteps echoes off the stone floor followed closely by more soldiers entering the hall.
The moment he sees Kritz materialize next to a sitting figure above, Amon gasps loudly, "Lord Hisha?!"
His voice echoes across the vast space causing everyone present to pause momentarily.
Turning his attention toward the source of noise, Amon notices a man dressed in white robes seated upon a golden throne-like chair situated directly opposite the entranceway. Upon closer inspection, he noticed the person wearing such attire has ck hair flowing freely past his shoulders, his green eyes glow brightly against the darkness surrounding him.
Upon seeing Lord Hisha''s face, Amon gasped again, ''He is majestic.''
Standing tall and proud, his posture exudes confidence even though he sits still. From afar, he looks almost regal.
Seeing Amon staring intently at him, Hisha frowns slightly.
"You must be the one who had tried to get into my citadel without my permission." He states coldly.
The soldiers push Amon ahead forcing him to walk straight toward the overlord. The sight makes him cringe inwardly, feeling ufortable walking over such a powerful being.
When he reaches close enough, he kneels, bowing low, and begs, "my apologies, My Lord."
At first nce, Lord Hisha doesn''t seem pleased that someone dared trespass onto his territory uninvited. But upon stealing a nce at those emerald orbs, Amon could see something else entirely. Something different than anger or hatred. Instead, he saw amusement.
With a slight smile ying on his lips, he replies, "I don''t believe anyone would dare try anything foolish unless they knew exactly what they were doing."
Amon gulped audibly hearing these words uttered aloud.
He thought he knew what he was doing; however, now he wonders whether he should''ve just stayed back in Radomir and epted his fate rather than risk everything trying to save his life which wasn''t even worth saving now.
Hearing the lord speak, Amon slowly rises to his feet while locking his gaze on the floor.
"So... you came seeking refuge?" Hisha asks curiously.
[You already know that, host]
If HTC was a person, Hisha could already imagine the number of ways he could torture him right here and there.
''Should I tell him that his fate had already been decided the moment I stepped into Radomir and Vanas'' castle?'' Hisha sarcastically hisses at HTC.
[If it could add to the growing tension, of course, host]
HTC replies in a like manner, cing a disapproving emoji on the screen.
Kritz res daggers at Amon, angered by his unwillingness to answer questions posed to him.
"Would you want it repeated?!" He shouts angrily.
Ignoring Kritzpletely, Amon turns his focus solely on Lord Hisha once more.
"My lord, please allow me to exin myself," he says respectfully.
With a nod of approval, Lord Hisha leans forwards resting his elbows atop the armrests of the seat.
"Go ahead then..." He prompts gently.
Taking a deep breath, Amon begins speaking, "I had see¨C"
Creak!
Hisha raises his head to see who had made an entrance.
''Right on time!'' Hishaments in his thoughts as a grin spreads across his face when he spots Vanas approaching them through therge doors.
Behind him are two other men carrying heavy chests between their arms. They look exhausted but determined nheless.
Vanas walks briskly making sure not to make any unnecessary movements lest he identally knock over either chest containing whatever precious itemsy hidden inside.
Amon let out a scream before falling t on his rear.
Vanas stops dead in his tracks noticing themotion caused. Turning around, he quickly scans the area for signs of danger only to find no sign whatsoever.
Looking back at the man who has screamed, his eyes widen in surprise. It takes him several seconds to realize why this particr individual seems so familiar. When realization finally dawned upon him, he couldn''t help himself fromughing hysterically.
''As expected of the lovable Vanas.'' Hisha smiles,ing to terms with Vanas spelled danger to anyone in hisnd, and looking for Amon had intensified that fear for the guilty party.
Vanas continues forward until he stands beside Amon with both hands ced firmly behind his back. His expression remains neutral throughout despite how amused he feels about all this.
Kritz narrows his eyes, suddenly feeling defensive due to Vanas standing next to Amon. However, after taking another good long stare at Vanas, he decides otherwise. After all, it looked like a perfect opportunity to deal with the intruder, and a fitting candidate will be Vanas.
Lord Hisha clears his throat loudly drawing everyone''s attention away from Vanas. With a smirk stered on his face, he speaks up again, "To what do I owe your presence?"
Vanas looks at each member present before turning his gaze back to the overlord.
''I found you, you traitor!'' He hisses in his thoughts as he takes a nce past Amon, not before having his eyes gleam dangerously.
"Lord Hisha... I had thought it necessary to get these little items as a token of my appreciation." He gestures toward the two chests carried by the guardsmen.
His voice is calm andposed without showing much emotion one way or the other. This causes some members within the room to frown slightly wondering if perhaps he isn''t telling the truth.
Vanas smirks knowingly, confident about what is contained therein.

Chapter 197 Dont Kill Him, He Has A Beautiful Wife
Hisha tilts his head, puzzled but curious as to where Vanas got such items.
After seeing the confused expressions of many people surrounding him, Vanas sighs exasperatedly. ''It can wait,'' he thinks silently.
"My lord, these are gifts given to us by our allies during the war against the demons!" One of Vanas'' guards exins excitedly.
The others turn towards the speaker, surprised they hadn''t noticed earlier.
Seeing their reactions, Vanas lets out a small chuckle. The sound echoes off the walls causing those nearby to cringe nervously.
Vanas ces his hand on the shoulder of the guard whose name escapes him momentarily. A smile appears on his lips as he recalls something amusing.
"Lady Alta would be pleased to see it, I assure you, my lord," Vanas states confidently while nodding reassuringly.
He nces briefly at Amon, still lying motionless on the floor.
Vanas nods encouragingly to the rest of the group.
They exchange nervous stares amongst themselves unsure whether to believe Vanas or not.
Kritz wraps them all up with his Sux and ces them at the farthest corner of the hall.
Vanas gives a slight bow acknowledging the gesture.
Turning towards Amon, Vanas addresses him directly, "Amon? What brings you here today?"
Without waiting for an answer, Vanas moves closer to Amon, causing him to shrink backward instinctively.
[He''s already making his move, host]
''As expected, so predictable.'' Hisha grumbles internally.
Vanas reaches down grabbing hold of Amon''s cor tightly enough to choke him.
At first, Amon tries desperately to free himself from Vanas'' grasp. But soon realizes there was nothing he could have done even if he wanted to.
Looking at Hisha, Amon whimpers pitifully hoping someone mighte to save him.
Hisha pinches the bridge of his nose trying hard to keep hisposure.
This time, however, he fails miserably, unable to hide his amusement.
With a loudugh, Lord Hisha turns to Kritz, "would you like to do the honors? Or shall we leave things to me instead?"
A wicked grin spreads across Kritz''s face as he steps forth eagerly awaiting his chance to brutally manhandle anyone once more.
Hisha leans back in his chair enjoying every moment of this spectacle unfolding right under his very own roof.
In a whisper, he cautions Kritz, "don''t kill him, he has a beautiful wife waiting back at his castle."
At first, Kritz was stunned by how knowledgeable his lord was on the subject matter but quickly regained his senses realizing who exactly he spoke to.
Giving a slight bow, he dashes straight for Vanas.
Whoosh!
Amon watches helplessly as Kritz''s fist ms into Vanas'' stomach, sending him flying backward several feetnding t on his ass.
Everyone watching gasps in shock; no one ever saw thating. Even though Vanas wasn''t expecting any resistance whatsoever, he never imagined anyone being able to take him down quite so easily.
Vanas groans painfully clutching his abdomen. His body shakes violently as blood trickles between his fingers.
Noticing themotion caused by Kritz hitting him, Amon slowly gets to his knees looking around frantically searching for a ce to hide.
"How dare you hit our Count?" Another guard of Vanas shouts angrily, stepping forward ready to fight.
But just then another figure emerges from behind Vanas.
It''s none other than Alta herself wearing her usual attire consisting of a ck fitted deep v-cut dress that entuates both her curves and slender frame. Her long ck hair flows freely over her shoulders revealing delicate features. She looks stunning standing next to Vanas.
She looks stunning with her ck wings fluttering gently above. She stands tall, proud and regal.
Her eyes lock upon each person individually giving them a stern re letting them know the mistake made in causing a ruckus in the throne hall.
Alta res menacingly at everyone present ring daggers through each person she passes until finally arriving beside Kritz.
"Alta, you''re here." Kritz jokes sarcastically.
His words cause Alta to look away slightly embarrassed, then her attention is drawn to Hisha.
[Exp+4]
''Damn, how much I''ve missed that.'' Hisha recalls with a smile.
However, before either party has a chance to say anything else, Vanas pushes himself upright using the wall to support his weight.
"I''m afraid your friend is going to need some help getting home," Alta says coldly staring deeply into Vanas'' crimson orbs, then at the two guards that she had frozen in ce from the mental trauma she has ced them in.
Vanas coughs loudly before spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva.
"That was some punch!" Heughs nervously rubbing his bruised ribs.
Hisha ps his hands to get their attention, beckoning Alta to join him next to where he sitsfortably reclined in his luxurious seat.
[She always appears unexpectedly. Where do you think she might have been hiding during those times she hid her presence?]
''One of the perks of having a harem member that can fly,'' Hisha thinks smugly. ''You don''t really see it unless they want you to or are about to attack.''
The three men stand still not knowing what to expect. They were caught off-guard when Alta appeared suddenly without warning.
Alta rushes up the dias towards Hisha sitting proudly atop his high-backed gold chair. The room falls silent except for the sound of footsteps echoing throughout therge chamber. Everyone stares intently at the woman walking confidently toward Hisha.
When she arrives, she kneels gracefully beside Hisha and ces her head respectfully onto hisp while gazing adoringly into his emerald green eyes.
Hisha smiles warmly, feelingfortable holding such a lovely creature close to him, ''she''s been a bit dociletely... I wonder why?''
He strokes her silky raven locks lovingly running his hand along her cheekbone softly brushing against her soft skin.
As much as he enjoys touching her, he knows better than to let others witness these intimate moments together.
Ahem!
Kritz let out a bright smile, took one look at Vanas, and retraced his path back to his ce beside his lord.
Amon peeks cautiously from behind the curtains trying desperately to find an escape route. But there isn''t anywhere left to run.
With nowhere to go, he decides to remain hidden hoping no one will notice him soon.
''If you''re as stiff as a board, maybe someone won''t realize you''ve moved!'' A voice whispers inside his mind.
The two guards take four steps back, visibly shaken after witnessing the power disyed by this mysterious beauty who now knelt quietly before Lord Hisha.
They watch silently waiting patiently for instructions. Their faces were pale white under the harsh light shining brightly overhead illuminating every detail of the beautifuldy kneeling on the floor.
Their bodies tremble uncontrobly, unable to move even if ordered to leave immediately.
Both men stare nkly ahead, lost in thought wondering whether they should obey orders given by Count Vanas.
Vanas wipes his face and cleans the bloodied spit across his lips. "Leave! Don''t make things worse for me..." His tone bes more serious sounding concerned for his safety.
After seeing the strength possessed by Kritz, he realizes that any attempt to flee would be futile. Then there was the issue of Amon.
''Where is that vile little brat? If only I could catch him right now so easily.'' Vanas sighs inwardly frustrated.
Right on cue, Amon slowly emerges from behind the curtain looking around suspiciously making sure nobody saw him sneak past.
Hisha tilts his head, staring at an oblivious Amon trying to sneakily hide something beneath his clothes and use the opportunity to run towards the slightly ajar door.
[Should we tell him?]
Hisha shakes his head with a smug smile, knowing that the Metae were going to act ordingly and lock the door.
m!
The door shuts loudly in Amon''s face causing him to jump startled.
Then silence descends upon the room again leaving him speechless. Knowing there was no way he could escape their eyesight.
''They definitely heard that, they did! What do I do now?'' He thinks in a panic.
His heart pounds rapidly beating wildly in fear. ''What am I supposed to do?! How did all of this happen!?''
Stiffly looking behind him, he gulps audibly realizing how exposed he truly felt standing alone in front of everyone.
Everyone avoids eye contact. No words are spoken but each person seems to know exactly what happened.
Vanas stands tall ring angrily at Amon.
Chapter 198 Just The Three Of Us
"You''ve got some nerve trying to escape my throne hall," Hisha growls menacingly.
Mentally shaking himself free of the shock caused by being locked in, Amon quickly regains control over his emotions.
"It wasn''t like that-"
Before he finishes speaking, Hisha raises his hand and shes through the air cutting short whatever excuse Amon had prepared.
Gasping for breath, Amon drops to his knees gasping for oxygen. He looks down at his chest where crimson-red liquid drizzles freely soaking his shirt. Blood seeps between his fingers, staining them ck.
Looking up at Hisha, he sees anger written clearly on his lord''s face.
Vanas res coldly at Amon as he whispers. "You made a mistakeing here, Amon."
There was nothing more satisfying than watching him fall apartpletely helpless by the very person he sought out help from.
"My lord, there''s... something... you..."
Bam!
Vanas cuts off his sentence with a kick to Amon''s face, interrupting him mid-sentence.
Tears welled up within Amon forcing him to blink repeatedly wiping away the tears streaming down his cheeks. The pain radiating throughout his body makes it difficult to breathe.
Blood trickled steadily dripping from his nose forming small puddles on the ground below.
Hisha shakes his head, stopping Kritz dead in his tracks when he tries to intervene.
From what he had seen, Vanas wasn''t going to change until he was forced into submission.
"Vanas..." Hisha says softly.
He knew better than anyone else just how much trouble Vanas was. If he needed to tackle this sort of insubordination in his presence, he''d have to kill the root cause instantly without hesitation or mercy.
Lowering his head in respect, Vanas turns towards Hisha.
Amon stares wide-eyed not believing what he has witnessed. His Count suddenly being so submissive.
"... give me one good reason why you kicked Amon?" Hisha asks calmly.
Vanas lowers his gaze feeling ashamed about kicking Amon, he has been one of his loyal friends. It didn''t matter though because he couldn''t let anything get in the way of spilling out what he had done and watching him seek protection from the overlord.
If word gets back to his wife, everything wille crashing down.
"I''m sorry Lord Hisha, please forgive my impulsive actions," Vans apologizes sincerely bowing low before raising his head once again meeting Hisha''s re.
Looking down at Alta, he smiles and whispers to her to excuse herself for a time. She nods silently understanding the situation they''re currently facing.
Alta leaves quietly, flying swiftly above the opened door leading outside.
She flies straight past the Metaes stationed along the wall who looks confused wondering if she should be allowed ess to leave. They don''t question however since none of them can see inside the chamber.
Kritz dashed below in a rush, grabbing each one of Vanas'' guards roughly by the cors, and dragging them outside the door.
Once they reached the hallway beyond, Kritz threw open the doors allowing the two men to exit.
Once both guards left in a hurry, Kritz closed the heavy wooden double doors, shutting them tightly.
*****
Vanas could hear his breathing bebored due to the amount of silence filling the room. Not even an echo came forth making it seem eerily quiet.
Taking deep breaths, he tries desperately to calm himself down while waiting patiently for someone to speak first.
"It''s just the three of us," Hisha states tly staring directly ahead at Vanas.
The tension is palpable causing every muscle in his body to taut.
After several minutes pass, Vanas finally speaks, breaking the awkwardness. "My lord, I apologize for my behavior earlier today. There were extenuating circumstances that led me to act rashly against your wishes."
His voice sounds strained, almost cracking under pressure.
Amon drops to his knees, sensing danger looming for him, but unable to do anything to stop it.
"What happened? What did you find out?" Hisha questions sternly looking right at Amon.
Vanas takes another long pause struggling to hold onto hisposure. A cold sweat trickled across his forehead leaving wet streaks running down his cheek.
Amon whips his head up in shock at being given the grand opportunity to exin himself.
He goes back to his low bow, incessantly praising Hisha for giving him such a chance.
''No, this can''t end well.'' Vanas thinks in a panic, shaking his head vigorously trying to shake off any thoughts that might lead to disaster.
Taking a nce at Vanas, a grin shed across Hisha''s lips seeing the fear written all over his tribal chief''s face. ''Gotcha!''
*****
30 minutester,
Creak!
The doors slowly open with the creaking sound intensifying as more weight pushes upon its hinges.
Standing before the threshold, Vanas looks down at the corpse of Amon held by his cor.
He looks behind him and as Hisha gets to his feet, his hands are shoved into his pockets.
The moment they lock eyes, Vanas feels a chill run down his spine like ice water sshing through his veins. He knows exactly where things are headed next. The only thing standing between him and certain death.
[Charm+20]
Hisha stares at his user interface with a smirk, raising a brow at Vanas simply standing and not moving, almost as though he had seen a ghost.
[You did get him good host]
''None has tried outsmarting me, yet. And I don''t n to wait for some grand n.'' Hisha exins, smiling at how carefully thought out he had made all the preparation since thest tournament.
[Submission, allegiance, honesty]
Hisha nods his head, understanding where HTC was going with the info. It came as no surprise that the blood contract would give him such attributes hecked.
[He is definitely old, his life expectancy is strangely high]
Disying it on the screen to remind Hisha of what he had seen.
[9566 years, 9 months, 2 days]
Vanas stands there frozen stiff, watching helplessly as Hisha steps forward closing the distance separating them.
Beaming with a smile, Hisha reaches out cing his hand on Vanas'' shoulder.
Hisss...
Vanas shivers violently, goosebumps covering his entire body. He was still recovering from the peak charge in his Sux, his eyes flickering rapidly.
Leaning to the whisper in his ears, "don''t disappoint me now..."
Chapter 199 You Cant Enjoy A Peaceful Death!
Trying hard to keep his cool, Vanas keeps his mouth shut refusing to say or do something stupid.
[A rare moment, host]
Hisha examines Vanas with a smirk, it did look like he had scared the living daylights out of him during their small talk in the throne hall and it didn''t help with the fact that he was in dangerous proximity.
With a quick jerk, Hisha pulls Vanas close forcing their faces inches apart. His breath was hot against Vanas'' ear sending chills throughout his whole body.
"You know how much trouble I would have gotten myself into if that stunt you had pulled in Straton turned into civil unrest?" He snarls, narrowing his eyes at him.
Before Amon could fully spill out all that had happened, Vanas had readily agreed toply with whatever Hisha had to request from him.
In an exchange for agreeing to be silent, he feigned ignorance about what had happened and pried out the information from Vanas under the guise of wanting to know why Amon would risk leaving Straton and sprinting in the direction of his citadel.
Pressing hard on Vanas'' cheek, Hisha searches his eyes and repeats his words in a low grunt.
Vanas swallows nervously nodding his head yes without saying a single word. ''I''m done for!''
Letting go of his cheeks, Hisha let out a light chuckle. "Now that''s what I like to see."
Letting out a sigh of relief, Vanas forces his gaze downwards, clutching hard on Amon''s cor.
Hisha says, smiling wickedly, and continues, "well then, let''s make sure we avoid those problems altogether, what do you think?"
''What the hell am I supposed to think, lord Hisha?!'' Vanas screams in his thoughts but snaps back to reality.
Nodding his head, he remains silent, not wanting to risk angering Hisha further than the scary creepy smile staring at him.
''This won''t go well with what I¨Cwe had nned.'' Vanas thinks, feeling his heart pounding wildly within his chest and a little lightheaded. Sweat dripped down his brow forming small beads rolling down his cheeks.
Patting Vanas'' head, Hisha gives onest appreciation for the gifts he had received.
Vanas nods his head once more, "it... it was my pleasure."
pping Vanas'' back yfully, Hisha shakes his head and smiles. "Don''t act too stiff around me, remember if you break out of character..."
Gulp!
Vanas could almost picture himself vomiting the very thing he loves to consume.
Hisha''s gaze is momentarily fixated on the corpse of Amon leaning lifelessly on Vanas'' leg. "You know how to take care of the body of one of your own. Don''t forget about your guards either!"
Vanas nods again, keeping his mouth shut.
*****
In Radomir,
An hour passes after the incident inside the throne hall when Vanas returns to his castle, with his guards apanying him closely from behind.
They give a nod in respect, firmly holding the corpse wrapped neatly in cloth. They ce it gently atop a wooden table near the entranceway leading outside.
"You may leave," Vanasmands, turning away from the door.
As soon as the two men exit, Vanas walks towards the dead man lying motionless on top of the table.
Reaching down, grabbing the handle, pulling open the drawer underneath the nightstand. Pulling out an ornate dagger made entirely of gold. It glistens brightly reflecting the sunlight streaming through the window illuminating the room.
''Because of you...'' He pauses and instead lets out a chuckle in disbelief at what he had gone through.
Although he had gotten what he wanted, he had also lost his greatest weapon¨Cthe element of surprise.
Vanas ces the de carefully beside the body wrapping both arms around the hilt, and gripping it tightly.
"... now your death seems to be mocking me," Vanas whispers, looking down at the corpse.
Stabbing the knife deep into the center of Amon''s neck causing blood to gush forth spraying everywhere.
Swiping his hand over the blood, he tastes it and spits it out almost immediately. ''That''s repulsive, it''s turned
Swiping his hand over the blood, he tastes it and spits it out almost immediately. ''That''s repulsive, it''s so nd,'' he thought disgusted.
''You can''t enjoy a peaceful death after what you did!'' Vanas thought angrily, clenching his fist tight enough so that his knuckles turned white.
Amon lies unmoving on the floor bleeding profusely while Vanas sits cross-legged staring nkly ahead.
Vanas stares straight up into the sky above, gazing endlessly until darkness falls once more shrouding everything beneath the nket of ckness.
******
Two days have passed since the events transpired in the throne hall.
Vanas has been locked in his chambers ever since returning home. Not even bothering to eat anything or drink any liquids. Allowing himself time alone to think over all the possibilities.
Siadra repeatedly knocks on the doors but receives no response. She tries knocking harder this time using her full strength trying desperately to break down the thick oak wood. But she fails miserably, unable to prate its hardness.
"Dear, please take something. Amon''s death must have hurt, given he had broken your trust, but that doesn''t mean you should starve yourself! You need food, my love!" Siadra pleads, kneeling in front of the door.
Silence engulfs the hallway hearing nothing except the sound of footsteps walking past. The only thing heard are faint voicesing from beyond the walls. Voices speaking words too soft to hear clearly.
The sounds gradually fade leaving silence filling every inch of space between each step taken by whoever passed.
She sighs deeply frustrated knowing better than anyone else just how stubborn Vanas could be especially during times such as these.
Sighing yet again, she stands back up heading toward the kitchen to prepare some tea before sitting on the chair next to the firece. Her eyes fixed on the mes dancing across the logs burning bright red.
"Lord Hisha..." She mumbles under her breath, her eyes narrowing slightly watching them dance. ''What happened while he was with you?''
Chapter 200 You Summoned Us
In his Spatial library,
It had been a few days since he had been able to get to level 1110 and had managed to unlock the random item¨CSpatial library.
It is arge space with silver bookshelves that go from floor to ceiling on all sides of it except for one wall which is where there are two doors leading out into other rooms in this space or another dimension entirely still locked away behind those same walls as well by arge golden key hanging off the gold chain at eye height just above.
The room itself has no windows but does have an open makeshift skylight high up near its center so light cane through during any hour if needed even though most times atte hours when he would be reading, his book''s pages will be lit enough without needing anything else besides whates naturally like sunlight shining down upon him.
*****
Hisha flips open a book, searching for anything that could give clues on what Yoru might have nned.
The mysterious disappearance of citizens had only shown how much danger they were in and hisck of knowledge wasn''t helping in any way since he still had a few raw carnage points needed to get a direct answer from Grut.
''HTC, now would be a good time to know my status, so I know my progress.''
[Just your user status, host?]
"All." Hisha corrects it and continues flipping through pages as he converses.

Hisha facepalms at his desire points, ''Why the fuck is that surprisingly stagnant now? Hadn''t I done the needful within a few days?''
[Is that a trick question, host?]
HTC asks with a questioning emoji.
When it didn''t get an answer from Hisha, it continued with the rest of the status.

__________
Letting out a sigh, Hisha shakes his head as he takes in all the various statuses before him.
He had made a bit of progress in a few areas and was slightly ted about his charm points increasing with having another tribal chief under his control.
"The methods aren''t working," Hisha mutters while looking down at the status screen.
''I''m not sure if I should try something else or just wait until she strikes again...''
He then looks up towards the ceiling where there are several bookshelves lined along one wall. "Maybe this will help me figure things out..."
With those words said, Hisha begins reading some random titles off their spines. After about five minutes'' worth of browsing around, he finds himself staring nkly into space after finding nothing useful within any of them.
[You aren''t searching right, host]
Tilting his head, Hisha gets a glimpse of something glistening ahead when HTC''s voice echoes inside his mind.
Approaching the seemingly empty shelf, his hand brushed on the gold edge that had glistened earlier.
His eyes widened upon realizing what it was; a golden ring embedded onto its surface. It looked like a simple band but once touched by an immortal''s hands, it began glowing brightly enough so anyone nearby could see it even without turning away. The light slowly faded back to normalcy afterward.
It wasn''t long till someone approached him from behind. When he turned around, he found two people standing beside each other. One wore ck robes simr to the ones worn during ancient times whereas the second person wore white clothes which seemed more modernpared to herpanion.
Both of these individuals stared straight forward at Hisha who stood still facing the shelves. They both gave him curious nces before speaking simultaneously. "...Lord Hisha."
Both voices sounded familiar yet different somehow. They spoke in unison though neither of them showed signs of being rted despite sharing the same face. Their hair color also differed between wavy red and straight blonde respectively although they shared facial features such as eye shape, green eyes and nose length, the blondie had a silver lip piercing whilst the red-haired did not. Bothdies however possessed beautiful faces with high cheekbones, sharp jawlines, and full lips.
Their clothing too varied greatly since the firstdy wore a short robe covered entirely by dark blue cloth except for the lower part covering her legs below the knees. She carried herself gracefully with poise, unlike most mortals due to possessing enhanced Sux thanks to her ability. Her partner meanwhile sported a pair of shorts jeans tucked neatly underneath a red cotton turtleneck sweater.
''HTC are you seeing what I''m seeing?''
[Affirmative, host]
Hisha''s attention was focused on the blondie whose name tag above her head read ''Rin''. Rin nced briefly at thedy next to her named ''Karin'', nodding silently. Karin nodded likewise.
He could excuse Karin for her looks as did the times he found himself in, but the odd and out-of-ce look of Rin had him take yet another nce at her.
''She looks like she''s from my world.'' Hisha thinks, amused by her modern appearance.
Shaking his head to snap out of the trance-like state he was in, he asked curiously, "who are you two?"
They exchanged nces amongst themselves before answering. "We''re here because you summoned us," Karin replied calmly.
Rin continued talking, "as we were told beforehand, our job is simply to assist Lord Hisha whenever needed. We''ll be assisting him throughout his stay in this world."
"...And why am I supposed to need assistance? Am I going through some sort of crisis or something?" Hisha questioned further.
Neither answered nor reacted to his query instead choosing to remain silent.
Instead, Rin took hold of Hisha''s arm gently tugging him closer to whisper against his ear. "Don''t worry my lord, everything shall work itself out soon enough."
Pushing back, Hisha points at them, "who sent you two? Who exactly do you serve?!"

Chapter 201 Should We Tell Him?
Silence followed his question as they smiled softly at him.
There was no way they weren''t tied to his system if they could be found in his spatial library.
Their unsettling smiles had him anxious for answers, ''Who are they, HTC?!''
[Loading... Searching...]
A momentter, Rin speaks up, "we don''t know either, Lord Hisha!"
She giggles lightly causing Hisha to frown deeply.
''This is definitely not something funny.''
Afterward, she continues in a whisper, "but we''ve been instructed to follow your orders no matter how strange they may seem!"
''Who the fuck ordered you two, it''s as simple as that! How can I trust you two if all you say is off-point?!'' Hisha wanted to scream at them but was distracted by the sounding from his system.
Ding!
[Celestials]
Hisha stares wide-eyed at the screen, not being able to hide his surprise. He knew Celestials existed somewhere in the sky or something, and deep down inside him, he never expected to find anything regarding them affecting him so personally aside from being favored by them.
[The system results in disys one particr result:
- Celestial - They are supreme immortal beings that are considered godlike and reside in the heavenly gates. They do not interfere with certain urrences that could be detrimental to the bnce of the world, but they readily listen to the wishes and prayers of those they deem worthy]
''This doesn''t look like they don''t interfere with me! They already did that in the past and had made the original host act irrationally, but now this?'' Hisha thought angrily while ring daggers at the screen.
"Lord Hisha?" Rin asks cautiously after noticing his sudden change in mood.
Shaking his head slightly, Hisha replies coldly, "I have nothing else to ask right now. Just carry on like you never saw me here or better still, go back to where youe from."
Karin smirks yfully, "you can''t get rid of us easily..."
Her words caused Hisha to growl lowly under his breath. ''Now that''s a two-faced statement right there.''
Karin then turns towards Rin asking, "should we tell him about the situation?"
"Excuse me? Tell me what?" Hisha questions sharply.
Bothdies exchange nces again before turning their heads away from each other.
"The moment you summoned us into existence, we will be your eyes and ears within this realm and yours until such time when you decide otherwise," Rin exins quietly.
"What do you mean, mine?" Hisha demands an answer.
His voice echoes loudly across the room making both women flinch nervously.
Rin raises her hands enthusiastically, "it means I can seek out information that rtes to your immediate choices in your world and you get that knowledge almost instantly when needed."
Hisha stumbles back in shock upon hearing these words. His mind races trying to process whether this would benefit him or hinder him more than help him if he gets a sh in his choices.
It all started to make sense as to why her clothing was of his modern world and past life. She must have used his memories to materialize based on his modern preferences which meant she might know who he really is; someone important to himself and others around him.
He turns to Karin and could easily decipher what realm she came from judging by the clothes worn by hers too. It wasn''t hard since most people in Kurg wore simr attire regardless of location.
However, unlike Rin, he couldn''t see any hint of familiarity in her appearance despite knowing full well that they were rted somehow. This only served to confuse him even further because bothdies looked alike.
Karin leans on one of the shelves, herrge bust swaying seductively beneath her thin dress robe. Her long hair flows freely behind her shoulders giving her a very sensual appeal. The sight alone makes Hisha stiffen unconsciously.
As much as he wants to deny it, his body reacts to the presence of an attractivedy without fail every single time. Even though he tries to resist it, his hormones always win over logic leaving him feeling helpless whenever confronted with beautiful females.
''Except that temptress!'' He quickly straightens his thoughts and exhales to calm himself with that.
"Lord Hisha, do you know what we are?" Karin asks softly.
''It''s the very thing I need to know." Hisha shakes his head slowly, unable toprehend everything going through his mind.
"We are called Celeste, also known as Celestial maids¡" She begins, pauses, and stares at him, needing him to sink in the new information.
Hisha furrows his brow wondering just exactly what kind of race they were talking about. A part of him felt relieved for having found some answers yet another question arose in its ce¨Cwhy didn''t HTC ever mention them?
Ding!
[Memory recovery - 25%]
''Woah!'' Hisha exims as he watches his environment spin and dims out slowly from the corner of his eyes.
A sudden flood of new information had him drop to his knees gasping desperately. Memories of his previous lives began flooding his brain causing him to shake uncontrobly. All sorts of things happened during those times including the previous host searching for the Celeste as his alternative chance at finding Dalsa. However, none of them seemed to match up perfectly enough to exin how the current events unfolded. There was no way anyone could remember all that stuff unless they lived multiple lifetimes, the very life the previous host chose to give up.
After several minutes spent recovering part of the lost data of the previous host, Hisha finally regained control of his senses once more.
"So...what does this mean?" Hisha asked weakly, looking between the two girls standing beside him.
They exchanged looks briefly before nodding simultaneously.
"It means you own uspletely; body and soul. You control every aspect of our lives including who knows of our presence. You need our assistance if you want to survive this ordeal Lord Hisha," Rin exined gently.
"What ordeal am I facing?" Hisha questioned warily.

Chapter 202 His Yandere Beauties
?
There was something off about the whole scenario but he couldn''t quite put his finger on it. Something told him not to trust either of these lovely creatures so far. They may look innocent and harmless however appearances can often deceive especially where the beauty lies concerned.
His Yandere beauties had taught him a great deal to beware of pretty faces after all.
"Is it something I am aware of?" Hisha inquired cautiously.
"Yes, Lord Hisha!" Bothdies chorused together happily.
''That isn''t something you two should be happy about!'' He deadpans.
"Someone is trying to attempt what was thought impossible, you have to stop them first otherwise there will never truly be peace again..." Rin said solemnly while staring into space.
The memory loss caused by his possession of this current body made it difficult for Hisha to understand anything else other than the fact that someone wanted to take away what had been established.
"Would you like for us to be visible to everyone now instead of hiding ourselves under your orders?" Karin offered sweetly. "I''m sure many men would love to get their hands on such a prize."
She smirks yfully, making Hisha feel ufortable due to the implications involved here. His face reddened slightly upon realizing just how true that statement was.
"I can''t totally control you two, right?" He questions carefully.
Both women nod eagerly.
"You don''t seem surprised or shocked by my words¡are you familiar with me already then?" Hisha wonders aloud.
Rin nods excitedly whilst Karin simply smiles brightly.
''I still have the issue of my harem getting jealous, heck they''d try to kill them!'' Hisha ponders internally.
[Especially Alta, her tolerance to a few doesn''t mean she would for just about anyone that suddenly pops up]
Shaking his head, he sights the one he was more concerned about, her dead quiet mood was something to be wary about.
''Sra is a much more unpredictable Harem member, she has been so docile that it''s now scary.''
After many internal deliberations, he opts for them to be gho¨Cvisible only to him until further notice. It wasn''t ideal since he needed help dealing with whatever situationy ahead but better safe than sorry. Besides, both of them looked too good to pass up even when fully clothed. If nothing else, maybe they''ll prove usefulter down the line.
"As you wish Master~," The pair say in unison before bowing deeply toward him respectfully.
*****
Disconnecting from the spatial library allowed Hisha to regain full use of his limbs once more along with all the new memories he had gained. After regaining consciousness, he immediately checked his surroundings to find himself back inside his room.
''Pretty convenient.'' Hisha thinks to himself amused.
He nces around curiously noticing that most of the furniture has changed over time. In particr, the bed which used to be against one wall seems to have moved closer to the window allowing for greater ess to sunlight.
''What the heck went on while I zoned out?'' Hisha wondered confusedly.
[During your time spent in the spatial library, you managed to subconsciously absorb knowledge regarding various topics ranging from history to science.
While all this goes on, your body is put under immense strain resulting in severe fatigue.
In turn, your body begins to shut itself down automatically forcing you to sleep through its effects and would make sure the body was in the perfect state.
As soon as you wake up though, everything returns to normal without any lingering side effects whatsoever.]
Hisha nods his head to the information, if he could benefit from all he did, there was no cause forint whatsoever.
Sigh!
Hisha had just woken up, and he stared nkly at the ceiling wondering why he felt tired despite having slept soundlyst night. A quick check revealed that he hadn''t done anything particrly strenuous recently aside from training yesterday morning. That meant he must''ve absorbed some sort of energy source within the library''s database.
Henceforth, he decides to investigate the matter thoroughly using his newly acquired skill set. First things first: food.
***
A few hours passed before Hisha decided to venture outside his room. Upon doing so, he found himself surrounded by his servants all standing in shock at his sudden appearance.
"Lord Hisha!!" One of them cried joyously causing others to join in enthusiastically.
This reaction seemed rather strange considering none of them ever conversed with him directly before today. However, seeing as no harm came forth during those times, perhaps they were merely being polite. Either way, he didn''t mind receiving attention regardless of whether it was positive or negative.
Kritz suddenly materializes in front of him looking somewhat worried.
"My lord there is¨C" he pauses the moment he realizes where they were.
He looks around to see if anyone would react to Kritz''s presence yet thankfully nobody did. This gave him enough leeway to speak freely by turning and leaving to carry on with their work.
"My Lord, I interrupted something, didn''t I?" He asks quietly.
"Not exactly," Hisha replies calmly.
Lowering his voice, he questions in a whisper; "is there any issue?"
"Well, my lord..." Kritz hesitates briefly, unsure about how best to proceed, feeling slightly awkward knowing his information concerns the servants.
Seeing this, Hisha''s eyes narrow, prompting Kritz to continue speaking quickly.
"It appears that more people are missingpared to usual...and we''re not talking mere citizens either!"
His tone bes increasingly serious as he continues exining.
"We haven''t seen any of the maids nor cookstely. We also noticed that several guards who usually patrol the grounds aren''t present anymore¡"
[They are gradually advancing, host]
''Yet I still don''t know what she has nned.'' Hisha growls in his thoughts.
He was almost close to getting the desired raw carnage level and he was determined to get it before another case of missing individuals.
He sighs heavily feeling helpless, with his knowledge of what lies ahead near to impossible.
"What''s the number of missing people?" Hisha queries.
Kritz lowered his voice as he spoke, "there are a total of thirty men and fourdies."
"It''s been that bad huh...? It''s about time that I do something," Hisha says solemnly.
Kritz nods his head and smirks. "I know you will, my lord."

Chapter 203 I Remember You
?
The next day dawns bright and early after an uneventful night. As expected, everyone woke up earlier than usual given the circumstances. Most importantly, however, Hisha made sure to inform Rin & Karin beforehand via telepathy.
Yawning, Rin slowly opens her eyes and looks over to Karin who had her eyes narrowed tightly closed. She then turns to look at Hisha who appears equally exhausted but otherwise fine.
They both appear ready to go even though neither of them looked like they''d gotten much rest the previous night.
"Gathering information is exhausting." Rin yawns again, stretching herself awake fully whilst trying hard to suppress another wave of drowsiness.
She notices that Hisha''s expression remained unchanged throughout the entire process. Perhaps he too wasn''t getting proper sleep due to what happened in the library.
Knock!
Knock!
Kritz waits patiently until Hisha finally answers the door.
Karin and Rin bow their heads and vanish in the meantime.
"Kritz?" Hisha calls out, slightly confused as to the reason for such urgency.
Upon opening the doors wide open, he finds an unfamiliar face waiting behind Kritz. The male bows respectfully toward Hisha before retreating behind Kritz.
Raising a brow at Kritz, he needed some sort of answer as to why he would bring a stranger without asking for permission.
However, upon closer inspection, he realized that the youngd was someone he had known but couldn''t quite ce when.
''Those green eyes¡that long ck hair!'' His memory clicks into action, reminding him of one particr person whom he had seen through the eyes of Melody, a few months ago.
Testing out his theory, he calls out the name he could recall, "Thel? Is that right?''
Thel blinks rapidly once hearing his name spoken aloud. ''Yes my lord,'' he responds nervously, bowing low.
''How does he know my name? Could it have been sister Kenna?'' A thought crosses his mind wondering just how many people might know of his identity.
Kritz who was equally just as stunned as Thel clears his throat loudly interrupting whatever conversation may be taking ce between them.
Afterward, Thel straightens back up only to find Hisha''s gaze fixed firmly on him.
Gulp!
Stepping out of his room, Hisha stops in front of him, poking at his head curiously.
"What do you seek?" He inquires politely.
Hearing these words from Hisha''s lips causes Thel to freeze momentarily, unable toe up with the right words to say. After all, he hadn''t anticipated meeting Hisha himself so soon. Not to mention having to exin everything to him personally instead of simply sending word across through Kritz.
He could recall how he had begged for the assistance of the overlord as the journey he was to embark on in a few days wasn''t something he could do alone. However, now that he stood here facing Hisha, he felt somewhat intimidated despite being grateful for the privilege thus far.
Taking a deep breath, he begins telling his story starting with where he came from and ending with his current predicament.
''They share a connection.'' Hisha silently observes every detail within Thel''s bodynguage.
As he listens intently, he can sense the fear emanating from thed which was fairly natural, considering the situation.
When he finishes recounting his tale, Hisha''s furrowed eyebrows deepen further causing Thel to feel ufortable under their scrutiny.
''He''s the clue I need, yet he doesn''t know where they are except what he saw through the mark.''
A momentter, Hisha''s voice cuts through the air making Thel jump back involuntarily.
"So you have a friend named Ni¨Cwho was abducted by the hobgoblins just like the rest?" Hisha asks calmly, looking down at Thel.
His question makes Thel nod his head vigorously.
"And you and your friend share some sort of jade-like tattoo or mark?" Hisha continues probing gently.
At this point, Thel feels relieved knowing that he has found somebody else who knows more details about the jade pendant. It also helps that there seems to be no hostilitying from Hisha whatsoever unlike his tribe he encountered previously.
Looking down at his bathrobe, Hisha grimaces realizing that he should probably change first if he were going to discuss anything important today.
Turning around quickly, he heads inside his bedroom, mming the door shut in their faces.
Leaving Thel standing awkwardly outside, unsure whether he ought to wait any longer.
He looks over to Kritz, who appears rather amused watching him fidget ufortably while awaiting instructions.
"As long as our lord has chosen to spare you," Kritz says chuckling lightly, "I don''t see much harm done in letting you stay awhile."
Thel looks at the Vandrik, seeing it as a privilege to watch such a rare sight of himughing openly. For the most part, though, he is usually very serious whenever dealing with matters concerning the tribes, on behalf of the supreme overlord.
With a smile stered on his face, he nods gratefully epting Kritz assuring words.
*****
It takes nearly thirty minutes for Hisha to finish changing clothes after which he returns wearing an outfit much different from his usual outlook. This includes a pair of trousers made of thick leather along with a sleeveless shirt decorated with intricate patterns embroidered on its surface. On top of that, he wears a vest adorned with several pockets sewn together using fine thread.
Walking towards Thel, he extends both hands offering him a handshake.
"Wee to my citadel!" Hisha responds, shaking Thel''s hand.
Thel stares at his hand in awe feeling the strength behind each finger gripping tightly into his palm.
''What a strong grip!'' He marvels inwardly admiring the man''s physique.
Seeing Hisha dressed differently than normal, Thel notices how well-built he lookedpared to whenst seen during his speech to all in thend of Kurg.
His muscles bulged prominently beneath his skin giving him quite a menacing appearance especially since he stands tall towering above everyone present.
Noticing his stare, Hisha smiles wryly noticing how impressed Thel appeared upon witnessing his physical prowess.
Releasing his hold on Thel''s hand, he turns away towards the hallway. "Let''s head to somewhere quiet shall we?"
Chapter 204 What Did You See?
?
Following closely beside Hisha, Thel finds himself walking alongside the strongest men in all of Kurg. He looks over at Kritz, wondering how he had been able to maintain his cool while being around Hisha.
His eyes wander, taking note of various objects scattered throughout the hallways including weapons hanging off walls, and chests filled with bronze coins lying open inviting anyone passing by to take whatever catches their fancy.
Hearing footsteps approaching them from afar, Thel nces up only to find two guards marching past carrying spears slung across their backs. They stop briefly before turning left and heading deeper into one of the corridors leading outwards.
After following suit, they soon arrive at anotherrge room containing numerous tables ced side by side forming rows. Atop these tables rests piles of bookshelves lined neatly against the wall. Several chairs sit atop the floor surrounding the area allowing people seatedfortably enough to read without having to strain themselves too hard.
Upon entering the chamber, Hisha walks straight ahead stopping right next to a wooden desk situated near the center of the space. Sitting down on the chair facing the opposite direction, he motions for Thel to join him.
Taking a seat directly across from him, Thel observes Hisha studying every detail within view. From the way he sits upright, to the position of his legs resting t on the table; everything about him exudes confidence.
Kritz closes the door behind them and then steps back making sure nobody could hear what transpired between the three of them. After doing so, he ces a small bag sitting on the ground nearby.
Hisha nods and thanks Kritz, to which thetter replies with a bow. Then, he disappears leaving Thel alone with Hisha.
Sitting quietly waiting patiently until finally, Hisha speaks again.
"So tell me¡why do you seek my help?"
Thel clears his throat nervously trying not to make eye contact with Hisha. Instead, he focuses solely on looking at the bookcase located just beyond Hisha''s footrest.
"Well¡" He begins hesitantly speaking softly hoping that none would overhear him speak. "My tribe was attacked recently by these hobgoblins..."
Looking up, Hisha raises an eyebrow curiously hearing this news. ''They even went that far deep?''
He had recalled that Thel had his ce so far from civilization, yet they had attacked him there?
Shaking his head slightly, Thel continues listening intently. "...and I''m afraid if things continue like this...we might lose more members due to abduction or worse still death."
A frown forms on Hisha''s lips as he listens attentively. It seemed strange indeed considering how many times he had heard simr storiesing from othernds, yet none had shared a strong connection that could point him in the right direction.
This time, however, something felt different. Something told him that perhaps Thel knew could lead him to where they are being held.
Thel holds onto his head as he screams in agony, unable to move any part of his body except his mouth.
Hisha watches silently observing the scene unfolding before him. There were no signs whatsoever showing whether it be pain inflicted through magic or some sort of poison used. Yet despite knowing nothing else but suffering, Thel continued screaming.
[Host, are you not going to help him?! You know who did this! Why don''t YOU help out instead of watching helplessly!?]
''Since when are you this concerned about others?'' Hisha wonders internally staring straight at the user interface.
It wasn''t often it showed concern for anything outside its self-interest. Most of the time, he found it acting selfishly whenever someone needed assistance.
Yet now here stood HTC disying suchpassion toward those weaker than itself. This is new territory entirely.
Asking himself why exactly he should care, Hisha decides to ignore the voice inside his mind and wait for the storm to pass.
Thel stops crying after several minutes feeling somewhat relieved. However, he quickly realizes that he has lost track of timepletely, losing count of the minutes spent enduring excruciating torture.
With an outstretched hand, he tries reaching forward attempting to touch the surface beneath him. But upon touching the cold stone flooring, he immediately recoils, pulling his arm back.
His vision blurs momentarily before returning clear revealing the figure standing above him and staring down at him.
"What did you see?" Hisha coldly questions while ring down at Thel.
Seeing the look of anger etched all over Hisha''s face, Thel trembles fearing retribution once again. His heart beats rapidly causing sweat to form along his forehead.
However, seeing Hisha''s expression soften ever so slightly as he opens his hand towards him, Thel slowly reaches forwards taking hold of Hisha''s extended palm.
Gripping tightly around the fingers wrapped firmly around his wrist, Thel squeezes tight, holding onto Hisha''s hands desperately wanting to be pulled up.
Getting to his feet, he dusts off his clothes wiping away the dirt clinging to his skin.
Turning his gaze upwards, he looks into Hisha''s eyes only to find them filled with sympathy rather than rage.
"My lord, I¨CI apologize," he stutters apologetically, bowing low.
Hisha shakes his head slightly and smiles gently, "it must be the effects of whatever visions you saw. Don''t worry though, I''ll get your friend back soon enough."
Recalling what he had seen, Thel shivers remembering everything vividly including every detail regarding Ni''s captors.
Afterward, he remembers seeing him lying t on his stomach facing downwards with his arms behind him, this had also distorted his vision. But he could see a single rope tied securely across his chest forcing him to lie perfectly still without moving much lest he risks breaking free.
Then came the sound of footsteps approaching followed shortly thereafter by another person entering the room.
"My lord, I saw someone Ni in a dungeon, but he wasn''t the only one in there."
Hisha''s attention was drawn to his words, feeling they might finally have a clue pointing them in the right direction.

In the dungeon,
Ni wakes abruptly gasping for air struggling against the bonds binding him spread-eagled on the ground.
The creaking sounds of the door alerted him to the fact that he wasn''t the only one in the dimly lit cell. He turns his head looking left then right trying to locate whoever entered the dungeon.
There she stands tall towering over everyone present wearing her usual attire in a revealing ck dress.
She carries two bowls containing steaming hot soup. ce one bowl beside each prisoner and then leave, closing the door quietly.
Both men stare nkly at their food unsure of if it was the best n to go with.
''I can''t eat this,'' Ni thinks sadly, eyeing the contents of the bowl. ''There might have been something in it.''
He nces sideways, noticing both Ryo and Kaito eating happily oblivious to the situation surrounding them.
''They''re probably too hungry to notice anyway.'' He thinks to himself and shakes his head.
Rising unsteadily to his knees, he takes small sips of water hoping to wash away any lingering traces of hunger. Afterward, he ces the empty cup aside carefully avoiding spilling it.
Kicking his legs weakly, he attempts to push himself upright using his bound wrists. It didn''t take long until he managed to sit cross-legged leaning heavily on his elbows and resting his chin atop his palms.
Taking slow deep breaths, he closes his eyes focusing solely on breathing deeply inhaling through his nose exhale from his mouth. Doing this repeatedly helps calm his nerves allowing him to rx more easily.
"Are you going to eat that, though? You know we don''t want anyone dying because of some stupid mistake likest time, right?" A familiar feminine voice asks, sounding concerned.
Squinting his eyes, he sees Mina standing next to him watching him intently waiting patiently for his response. She appears worried about whether or not he will consume the meal ced before him.
The females had been let free, unlike their male counterparts. This is because none of them could interact with the females or risk a punishment far worse than what they had witnessed a few weeks ago.
Mina has always seemed differentpared to otherdies; however, no one knows why exactly. Her appearance doesn''t seem unusual nor does anything else stand out aside from her beauty.
Her hair color varies depending on which way the light hits it ranging between blonde, brown, red, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, white, silver, gold, etcetera. However, most people tend to describe her as having an exotic aura making others feelfortable being near her.
This makes sense considering how friendly she acts toward those who are kind to her regardless of gender. Even when dealing with males, she treats them equally well, even the worst ones kindly showingpassion instead of hostility.
"You shouldn''t be talking to me," Ni says, his toneing out harsh causing Mina to flinch slightly.
His face remains expressionless staring straight ahead ignoring her presencepletely.
A momentter, he hears soft footfalls walking toward him stopping just short of touching his shoulder.
Looking down, he notices Mina cing a hand on his cheek stroking softly along its length. His heart skips a beat startled by such sudden contact.
It feels nice so he allows her touch, continuing gazing into her beautiful emerald-colored eyes.
Snapping out of it, he quickly turns around, ring at her. "Don''t ever try doing that again!"
There was no way he was going to condone such an act especially after witnessing the consequences firsthand. The thought alone made him shudder to remember all the pain inflicted on the others during that night.
However, despite his anger, he couldn''t help but admire her gentle demeanor. There were many things he wanted to say regarding her actions yet nothing woulde forth leaving him speechless, unable to form coherent thoughts.
"Oh... okay..." Mina says nervously, backing off slowly, turning back, and heading back to sit with the rest of the females who sat in a trance with their eyes wide open, still in shock from what they had been put through earlier.
''I''m sorry but it''s best to do it this way.'' Ni thinks feeling guilty knowing full well there isn''t much he can do now.
A few momentster, he hears voicesing closer making him stare at the door as it slowly unlocks.
The females all rush towards the corner of the room where they huddle together whispering amongst themselves while keeping a watchful eye on everything happening inside the dungeon.
Ni watches silently observing the scene unfolding without saying a word.
After several minutes pass, the doors unlock once more, opening up and letting three figures enter carryingrge wooden boxes filled with various items.
They were three figures dressed simrly to the woman earlier except these wore dark blue robes covering their entire bodies including their faces. Their hands were held behind them while keeping close eye contact with the prisoners inside.
Familiar red glowing eyes stared directly at each prisoner giving them goosebumps running across their skin sending shivers throughout every inch of their body.
One female broke away from the group approaching the man wearing ck leather armor and holding two swords strapped over his shoulders.
Ni watches as he sees her blue eyes glow as though being controlled by something unseen within her mind. He knew right then and there that whatever happened here wasn''t normal.
She approaches the male kneeling beside the bed looking down curiously examining the crotch area and seeing the bulge forming beneath the cloth hiding underneath.
He felt ufortable watching the situation unfold wondering if any harm might happen to thedy. Yet, he remained silent hoping against hope that wouldn''t ur.
As soon as her hands graze over his groin, he groans in pleasure, moaning loudly, holding her hair and pulling down his pants.
Everyone looks shocked hearing the sound echoing through the dungeon, followed shortly thereafter by another moan escaping his lips.
All heads turn towards the source noticing the same thing urring among the remainingdies too. Ni watched as the men began reacting sexually, responding to the strange sensation caused by the unknown force controlling their minds.
The hoodeddy pulls down the front revealing her naked chest covered only by thin fabric barely enough to cover her nipples.
It was at that moment Ni could rightly tell who it was.

''Yoru!!!'' He hissed in his thoughts, ring daggers at her as she looked around the dungeon to register all in her thoughts.
Several seconds go by until finally, the door is locked shut, trapping everyone inside again.
Once locked, the Yoru removes her mask allowing her long ck locks to fall freely past her waistline. She stares intently at the women before speaking aloud.
"Now you will obey mymands or suffer for your disobedience! You have already seen what happens to disobedient ves don''t make the mistake of thinking I won''t repeat myself!" Yoru spoke sternlymanding obedience from the frightened captives.
They looked terrified, not sure whether to believe they would ever be rescued. They didn''t know anything about this ce nor did anyone else outside of their territory.
Ni looks over at his fellow male prisoners. He wanted to alert the new captives of the dangers of falling for such a trap however decided otherwise, deciding instead to keep quiet. It seemed pointless since none of them understood why they ended up imprisoned anyway.
Besides, even if someone managed to escape somehow, how far are they really? How likely does one think it would be to find their way home considering the circumstances surrounding them?
No answer came forth in his thoughts, leaving him puzzled, pondering further questions concerning their current predicament.
The others all fawned over Yoru''s beauty, staring openly and admiring her und figure which left Ni slightly disgusted having witnessed firsthand just recently exactly what she could do to those unfortunate males.
His gaze shifts towards the other side of the room where thedies stood frozen in fear, afraid to move fearing punishment should they dare defy orders given by the mysteriousdy known simply as ''the leader''.
Mina notices Ni eyeing her causing her cheeks to flush bright pink embarrassed by his attention.
She seemed to be the only one not affected by the power wielded by Yoru. The reason is no doubt due to her strong sense of self-preservation along with an innate ability to resist mental maniption.
Her face flushed scarlet when suddenly, the floor began shaking violently knocking some people out cold onto the ground unconscious. Others fell forwardnding t on their stomachs gasping for air and trying desperately to regainposure after experiencing sudden dizziness.
Ni had to force his feet to stay grounded and not reach out to Mina, for fear that she might be used as leverage against himself. Instead, he kept his distance standing next to the wall, unable to look anywhere near the direction of the center aisle.
The moans from thedy that approached the masked male earlier grew louder making the sexual tension between them unbearable. Her hips swayed back and forth seductively enticing him into doing things beyondprehension.
Ni''s cock hardened instantly, feeling aroused knowing full well what awaited both parties involved.
Looking down at his throbbing member, he tried to turn away and hide his embarrassment but found it difficult to resist temptation. His heart pounded rapidly, beating wildly in anticipation waiting patiently for the inevitable oue.
Suddenly, Yoru materialized in front of him blocking off his view andpletely preventing him from witnessing the events unfolding ahead.
Without warning, she grabbed hold of his arm forcing him to stand still while gazing at her beautiful features.
With great effort, he manages to maintain eye contact, refusing to look down at her naked body.
"You''re going to watch everything y out like the rest of us." She said firmly gripping tighter around his wrist keeping him rooted in position.
"I know you can''t force us to do anything against our will, only when we show some sort of lustful desire toward you or your partners," Ni replies nervously looking straight ahead ignoring herment entirely. "But..."
Before finishing his sentence, she ces her finger gently under his chin lifting his head upwards so that he may see her bite down her bottom lip.
Whispering into his ear, she says: "...you''ll enjoy watching me fuck these guys...won''t you?"
A shiver ran across his spine hearing her voice whisper directly into his ears sending chills throughout his entire being.
He couldn''t help but feel excited, but instead of her, he imagines what would happen if it were him and Mina behind closed doors. Allowing his imagination to run wild picturing every detail vividly ying through his mind.
Yoru senses his attention wavering and whips her head towards Mina. Thedy had been observing the scene unfold without moving a muscle. Not wanting to risk angering Yoru any more than necessary, she remained silent hoping to avoid confrontation altogether.
However, seeing Yoru''s approach made her nervous wondering what wasing next.
As soon as Yoru reached Mina, she wrapped her arms tightly around her neck pulling her close whispering something softly in her ear.
At once, Mina felt herself go limp allowing Yoru to instruct one of her partners to carry her effortlessly toward Ni.
cing her hands on either side of Mina''s waist, Yoru lifts her high enough to allow Ni to take notice. Then pulling her legs apart, she spreads open wide exposing Mina''s cunt lips invitingly awaiting pration.
Yoru has a wicked glint in her eyes as she realizes she could use their chemistry as a form of entertainment for her pleasure.
''If I can''t have you cultivate with me, I can use you two afterward for my pleasure.'' She thinks to herself smiling evilly before turning her attention back to Ni who is now fixated solely on Mina.
Then grabbing hold of Mina''s ankles, she pulls her closer until her cunt touches the tip of Ni''s erect cock. He feels her juices dripping down his shaft.
Releasing the restraints on his wrists, the chains fall to the ground with a heavy nk sound.
Seeing this, Yoru smiles devilishly, amused by how much control she holds over everyone present.
Noticing the moisture seeping out of Mina''s cunt, she smirks thinking about using them,ter on, to spice up her sexual activities. However, right then and there, all thoughts are put aside because she wants nothing else except to make sure that Ni gets hard first.
Mina wakes in a daze, realizing immediately who is holding her captive. However, before she has time to react, Yoru pushes her hard against Ni pinning her wrists above her head using her strength.
Then cing her mouth right beside Mina''s ear, Yoru whispers loudly saying; "Watch closely now!"
In response, Mina opens her eyes widening in surprise, noticing Ni''s erect cock sticking out stiffening fully ready to prate her wet slit.
"I''m sorry Mina." Ni apologizes sincerely.
She looks deep within his soul searching for an answer to why he had suddenly given in to such a thing. But finding none, she simply nods epting whatever punishment awaits her.
Her face flushed red hot, embarrassed yet curious to find out exactly where they nned to begin.
She watches intently, mesmerized by the sight of hisrge cock sliding inside her tight hole causing her insides to quiver uncontrobly.
The moment his hips touch hers, she moans deeply unable to contain her excitement. Her inner walls clench together squeezing his cock and making him moan aloud.
His balls tighten, drawing blood rushing to his groin and increasing its size even further. It bes harder and thicker filling her cunt inch after thick inch.
''Thel, I''m sorry I couldn''t hold off anymore,'' he thought, feeling guilty knowing full well that he should''ve waited longer. ''It just happened too fast!''
Ni continues thrusting slowly sliding deeper each stroke bringing forth new sensations never experienced before. His pelvis smacks against her ass cheeks creating loud pping sounds echoing throughout the room.
Feeling his cock throbbing between her thighs, she begins moaning louder, bing lost in ecstasy.
Her breathing bes heavier bing increasingly loud arousing those nearby listening attentively.
When atst he reaches the deepest part of her body, she cries out loudly releasing pent-up emotions from years ago. A flood of intense feelings rushes through her veins flooding her brain and leaving herpletely numb.
All sense of reason leaves her mind clouded by passion. Unable to think clearly, she lets loose screaming incoherent words not caring whether anyone heard her or cared.
Yoru notices Mina''s reaction and decides to push things along faster so she orders someone to bend over so she could sit. Once seated, she spreads Mina''s knees wider giving Ni better ess.
She looks over at her partner, seeing his arousal show in front of him, he thrusts faster into thedy''s willing cunt taking advantage of her position.
''That''s it, fuck her good! Fuck her like your life depends upon it!'' Yoru encourages while watching her partner pound away relentlessly driving himself ever deeper.
