Ghoul King's Harem

Chapter 222 222: Stage Six.... Bitter Choice [1]

Alexander felt close to exploding, as if he had eaten too much food at a Christmas dinner yet still had to participate in the family activities afterwards.

However, he was short...

There was not enough blood essence from the zombies alone; just short, he felt a little sense of dismay, only a few hundred less than a mouthful of high-quality blood and flesh, and he could evolve able to protect his loved ones and crush his enemies.

'I want to reach the next stage...'

His mind clouded as the others watched his figure deformed, bulging and twisted like the mutant earlier, causing them to stand still in shock.

Only Maria, who continued to eat the leftovers, wanted to be like Alexander the most.

"Urghh...Grraaa...!" His voice was no longer understandable, a mixture of illegible moans and groans.

"Master..."

"Alex!"

Mildred thought she was the first to notice, her green eyes shimmering as she tried to step forward before a firm yet delicate hand stopped her movements, letting her blonde hair dance in the air.

"Laura?"

"You are the lowest Stage of all his original Vesta."

"The essence inside you isn't enough to satisfy what he might need. He would grieve should he lose you forever over this." A gentle and motherly voice sounded from her lips as Laura's hand stroked her soft blonde hair.

'Maybe if I had my child, would she be as astute and cute as Mildred? Or as naughty and wild as Maria?'

"Don't worry."

"I reached Stage Five not long ago. My meat and blood should be enough to bring him back."

"You know what he's like; seeing our slow progress probably caused him to worry even more now that the monster is coming for him."

"Laura, but you..."

Mildred wanted to stop her because she and Laura were the closest due to their strange distance and estrangement from Alexander despite seeming so close.

"I can't let him ruin the suit my future groom will wear, right? Haha."

It was the first time that Mildred saw Laura acting like an adult or rather...

Her appearance was different; silky blue hair swayed in the violent breeze caused by Alexander's aura going berserk as he transformed into a twisted mutant.

She approached his body step by step as the bloody aura caused her skin to tear, ripping chunks from her flesh like a sharp whip. Yet enduring the pain, Mildred watched as Laura continued forward, barely showing a sign of flinching.

'It's not like you to rush this much, Alexander.'

'Were you too excited or trying to hide the despair at fighting that woman even after remembering everything?'

"Nnrrggh!"

Laura's hands reached his body, a strange look swollen and throbbing under her touch.

The other women were likely rushing this way when they felt something was wrong, and thus, she didn't have time to delay.

"It's okay. Next time, just be more calm and make sure to count properly. Haste makes waste, silly boy."

She felt a moment of fear seeing the sharp fangs and his twisted appearance but the slight tears in the suit she gifted him.

Each daughter modified a suit in her family for generations to suit their future groom the best, a process that was extremely important and personal.

She didn't use it even for her ex-husband due to fighting with her mother and family.

'Yet I did for this idiot, always showing off in my class... His good-for-nothing physique and talents went to nothing because he didn't want to become an athlete.'

The berserk state of Alexander seemed to slow, momentarily stop as her hands wrapped around his face, now filled with a mixture of green, black and purple veins as they pulsated and writhed under his flesh.

"Gh...ma.... Lau....R....n...I....Ca......rol!"

His mouth moved, but only groans and broken words left his lips.

'I know, I know. You are worried and want us to run away. To let you suffer and die or mutate alone.'

Laura smiled before placing her forehead against his, "Idiot." She whispered, looking into his eyes, bloody and dark red with both pupils focused on her face.

"You know Alex... At first, I was conflicted about following you—my heart was filled with a heavy weight as the others seemed able to forget their past pain and live on when you offered them a way out."

Holding his face, she slid her palm against his sharp teeth as her warm blood began to bubble and seep from the gaping wound into his mouth.

"But I was different."

Even when I gave you that blowjob, my heart was conflicted, confused. My head told me to fool you, find a way to live... Since I could reject your orders, why not just keep using you."

The mutated Alex seemed to be fighting against himself, against the desire to chop down on her and swallow her whole, his muscles bulging and twisting with disgusting sounds while she smiled with a strange look.

"In the first days together, I thought, 'Could I find my ex-husband and use this power to make him return to me?' Haha... You know how selfish people are on the brink of death and despair. Even elves are the same."

Her arm slowly pushed inside his mouth as she bit down her teeth with a strong force to hide the painful groan in her throat, the intense agony from feeling him bite down onto her flesh.

The only way she could see to help was to give him her essence.

"But..."

*Crack*

"I didn't leave... was I already just fooling myself back then?"

"Haha... Ngh... Watching you sacrifice your body daily for these women who did nothing initially but weep irritated me."

"So I made them fight, forced them to train."

"In my head, thinking at least until I left to meet my family, this was how I could repay you for saving my life and giving me a body resistant to the damn infection."

*Splutter*

"Ahhh....argh...Mghn....!"

'Is it enough? Can my blood help you reach the place you desire?'

She called out in her mind, unable to speak momentarily as she felt her arm torn from the shoulder before his mouth moved closer, now biting down on her neck, seeming eager for more of her.

Despite being prepared, the fear of death and pain caused tears to stream down her cheeks.

Laura didn't feel regret about death...

Her left arm wrapped around his head, a strange feeling as she reminisced about the days watching him and not realising that the way she felt or eyes that watched him changed.

"I don't know when, but watching your actions, sometimes acting stupid, others determined to keep us all safe as unstable as you were..."

"I found my eyes always chasing your figure."

"Gaha.... It started to become obvious when Stella and those other girls appeared. A strange tightness in my chest and feelings of jealousy grew inside me faster than a wildfire in a dry forest."

*Crack*

Laura's face became pale, only standing thanks to the mutant Alex's arms holding her steady to devour her more easily.

Yet her eyes shone golden with a sense of frustration and will to focus as she looked at the torn suit with a fleeting gaze.

"I found myself each night working on that suit..."

"Yet there was no thought of my past or family..."

"The image of you, an annoyingly handsome student of mine, wearing that suit, filled my mind... Haha."

"Ugh... The... Nhga... don't bite so deep into my neck... I'll die for real."
