Ghoul King's Harem

Chapter 217   217: Past Or Present Alexander?

Himari's spear was coated in thick black blood, her eyes narrow while dancing in her shrine maidens outfit with a beautiful smile across her lips.

"How is the master?"

"Better; today, he is fighting in the south alone."

Ayami replied to her sister as the large kanabo with studded spikes tore apart a strong mutants face.

"That's good, is big sister Stella feeling okay?"

She felt invincible, but everyone knew this wasn't true.

"She seems to be much better after seeing him fighting, but she mentioned that he was different..."

"How so?" Asked Himari as she flicked the dirty blood from her spear, taking a sigh as the 50 Vesta all began to rush towards them after winning the skirmish against the horde of Stage 2 zombies.

"She said it was deeper... darker and felt more dreadful than before."

Currently, his main Vesta could fight against a Stage 4 without issue, maybe a few wounds but Stage 5 needed all of them to coordinate themselves, and even then, many of the weaker Vesta would be obliterated and killed with ease.

"Himari, Ayami, it's dinner time, have everyone pull back to the temporary camp," Laura called out in her black outfit with a longbow over her shoulder.

Since the appearance of that goddess-like monster, she began to focus more on improving herself and the group who trusted her, even though Laura desperately wanted to let Alexander know how she felt.

Sarah, Amy and Stella decided to have Valu and Kaliara act like special units; they would sometimes help the Night Group A or other times the Day Group B.

Due to their power, keeping them in one spot wasn't good; instead, they would hunt for stronger enemies when not busy with a group.

***

Meanwhile, in the South.

Alexander was sitting on a pile of corpses, eating the flesh of a fallen Stage 4 zombie with his red eyes narrowed and watching the distance, several intelligent mutants also observing him.

It had been 14 hours since he arrived in the southern area, and the only enemy close to his Stage 5 was a mutant humanoid with dark green skin and a face merged with a cat-like creature with extremely high agility and the ability to call for aid.

After fighting 15 times already, the Stage 4s learned of his power and began to hide after the Stage 5 mutant was obliterated with ease, leaving Alexander with nothing to hunt until 10 more of the same cat-type appeared, like a little pack of them all watching him from the darkness.

"Damn cats..."

Alexander didn't let any Vesta join him, but Brunhild sat on a building behind him. Since the moment Asmodeus appeared, she became fragile and mentally weak, only able to show her former self when close to him.

So he was letting her stay beside him, hoping it would slowly heal... both of them.

'Who would have known, my ex-wife was such a crazy ass stalker..' He thought with a wry smile, memories of his former existence now completely mixed with his new life as Alex.

"Alex... Are you not hungry?" Brunhild's voice was soft and sad as she looked at him eat the disgusting Stage 4 zombie's raw flesh.

Alexander didn't respond; after a short minute, the cat pack finally began to charge towards him.

'This is the 23rd group of Stage 4 zombies today; what do I do? Wait for another mutant?' Alexander wondered, his crimson eyes narrow while ripping apart the flesh in his hands and chewing it, with a bored expression.

It tasted like well-seasoned fried beef.

As the side-effect of his awakening, he became a true ghoul, human food now difficult to eat, though he forced himself for the girls.

'They aren't like me; it seems the human food is still delicious to them...'

*Bah!*

His foot pushed off the corpse pile, causing half of the bodies to disintegrate into blood and crushed pulp, Alexander's body shooting towards the mutant zombies and the cat-like mutants with a twisted grin.

Their speed was similar, but Alexander had higher strength than them, not even using his sharp nails to tear off the head of the mutant leader, instantly killing it cleanly.

The 9 remaining feline mutants hissed, their claws engulfed by a blue flame and tearing towards his body, a slight red barrier protecting him. At the same time, Alexander kept tearing apart the Stage 4 zombie, eating the delicious-tasting brain.

"So violent and aggressive.." Brunhild muttered, seeing his cruel behaviour, but it was nostalgic for her as she smiled gently.

Alexander's crimson eyes looked at the cat-type mutants, their speed was fast and deadly, but he had experience dodging all the attacks perfectly and countering with his nails.

Only 4 remained, each taking several deep wounds with a few parts of their body ripped off, though none affected their speed.

'These annoying fuckers... just die!'

Alexander's patience finally ran dry, his body clad in a layer of dark red aura and moving towards them, their claws hitting his body and doing nothing to his skin, his nails tearing off their heads as they died one after the other.

"Stage 5 zombies... damn, they are such a pain in the ass," Alexander muttered, looking at the corpses as they vanished into black mist.

'I should find another Stage 5 mutant or wait for a large horde; I don't want to waste too much time.'

"Alex... let's return; Stella told me to make something special today, so don't be late, okay," Brunhild said gently, landing behind him while sitting on her white wings.

Alexander looked at her, nodding while taking her waist, Brunhild wrapping her arms around his neck; since he woke up with the knowledge of the past, it was hard to treat her like a mother; as their lips connected, Brunhild kissed his passionately.

'Why is this feeling so familiar?' Alexander wondered with his eyes narrowed and kissing her back, Brunhild hugging him tightly; their kiss lasted a minute, then another until 10 minutes passed.

"See you tonight," Brunhild whispered with her pale cheeks blushing, releasing his body and flying towards the East where everyone was camping, Alexander looking at her figure vanish in the night sky.

"It was that simple... huh?"

Alexander had a small smile, walking back towards the north; the zombies didn't attack him, knowing he would hunt them down; his main Vesta had killed over 1000 Stage 2-3 mutants today, making the stage 4s and 5s unwilling to approach him, giving Alexander some peace.

'Brunhild can't stay this way forever; I must do something... She wasn't so weak before.'

As a result of the mental erosion of Asmodeus, some of his memories of both lives are lost as his past life and current life mixed, like throwing a bunch of ingredients into a blender and losing some flavours, they were still there...

But it was masked by his more powerful and unforgettable memories.

"Phew... let's look at my current state... it was fucked up due to remembering the past... now it should be fixed."

"My attributes are still there, but many other things are gone... Were they useless or just surplus information?"

Alexander didn't know whether he was the human Alex with the memories of his past life. Or Alexander's past life was reborn, but the only truth was that both were him.

He still loved the women who supported him and the woman responsible for his being saved.

"Brunhild... You took such a thankless role. I cannot let you suffer anymore; whatever you desire, let me grant it to you."

With a determined face, he headed towards the meeting point as his fingers snapped, causing a torrent of blood spikes to shoot from the ground killing countless zombies and mutants.

Their groans were the only indication they even existed.

"Fools."
