Chapter 226 226: Back To Normal
Alexander stood inside the bloody sphere. In his arms, the beautiful Laura, who had transformed completely, was hugging him.
"You did well. I knew you could pull this off." He murmured against the hair of his wife.
Laura hugged him tightly. "The two of us make a great team."
The beautiful half-elf now had silvery hair tied into twin tails, her former golden eyes now violet, her face similar but not quite the same and her skin tone slightly paler. She wore a lovely black dress full of frills and ribbons created from her magic, while her height was much shorter than before as they looked at the barrier.
"Should we leave?"
"How about another round?" Laura asked with a red face.
She wanted to enjoy that pleasure more, but her husband patted her shoulder.
"Although it sounds like a great idea, your body is one of the best. We shouldn't make them all worry, right?"
"Owh..." Laura made a depressed sound and rested her face on his chest.
With a bit of regret, the two pushed out their palm and caused the bloody sphere to burst open, blood and dirt splashing the area as they stepped out, completely ignorant of the worry most women had suffered for the past few days.
Not to mention the amount of fighting the Vesta had to endure due to the huge blood sphere almost summoning them into New Haven.
Mildred was the first to see Alexander's familiar figure with his upper body exposed, the four tattoos on his body clear for all to see, an elven, vampire, lycan and succubus tattoo all marking him.
His scarlet eyes opened as he examined the battlefield, a vast array of corpses taken away by Vesta and many high-level combatants doing their duty, when a presence appeared behind Alexander.
"Darling!"
Stella's soft body, smooth red hair, and lovely blue eyes glistening like ocean jewels came into Alexander's face as she hugged him tightly with tears. He didn't notice her voluptuous assets as the succubus spoke, her heartbroken voice carrying a deep fear.
"You didn't say goodbye and vanished; I thought you were hurt!"
She couldn't say anything and squeezed him harder, his eyes opening slightly before he smiled and kissed her cheek, whispering with a comforting smile, "I was training."
"...you were what? " Stella asked as her ears twitched.
He explained what happened, including a few details to convince her of how necessary it was to ensure his survival. However, upon hearing it, Stella, the little witch with a devilish disposition and the best domineering mistress that men could wish for, became silent and hid her face in Alexander's chest.
"Could you take me with you next time?!" She said suddenly in a firm and angry manner.
Alexander grinned and nodded, "Alright since you're too sexy and have better breasts." He laughed when Stella blushed and played with her breasts.
"Than Laura?" She muttered.
Laura's gaze changed into a fierce glare as Stella received a terrible confirmation from her, which almost shattered her pride until he consoled her again, the elven woman not the only person present watching his actions.
"Laura is cute and has a nice ass; she's warm and cuddly when sleepy." Alexander grinned, slapping Stella on the ass as she looked stunned, not expecting him to speak for her while she was upset, while he skipped over to Mildred and Maria with his arms spread wide.
"I'm sorry for worrying you. Are you both okay?"
Mildred gave him a faint grin, and he received a smile from Maria.
"Nothing happened," Maria chirped, hugging his body and snuggling into Alex's chest, now reassured, while the blonde-haired woman pulled him away.
"A long shower would be welcome, especially now that we found good shampoo..." Mildred pointed out the dreadful situation of the gore and grime covering them.
However, Alex grasped her waist and pulled her into his embrace, not forgetting that Mildred was one of the most hysterical voices when he was about to die.
He looked down into her beautiful emerald eyes; for a moment, they shared something special, despite the hundreds of Vesta all standing around, the pouting Laura and shocked Stella looking over at them.
Mildred went a bit crimson and looked aside, her words hesitant, "We can... clean up together. Afterwards, we should celebrate that we're not dead yet."
Alexander smiled, pulling her into a tighter embrace, "I would love to shower with you, Mildred." Causing the blonde to violently blush and look away from him, trying to hide her current excitement and racing heart.
"Can I participate?" Stella said.
The cute succubus then raised her arm in a lazy motion.
"Me three..." Laura pointed, an awkward expression of disappointment crossing her features.
Maria pushed herself into his chest and waved her little hand at him.
"Yeah! You two are super dirty!" The loli-witch frowned before smiling. "I'll join too." It seemed she would also join the growing group in the shower later.
Alex felt his desire stir upon being surrounded, then saw the displeased women with jealous stares and reluctantly kept his fantasies at bay. Still, the prospect of a large group bath was fantastic and his favourite thing!
'Awesome.'
"Well, shall we head back and get sorted? I would love to know what happened in my absence." Alexander remarked, raising his brow at the enthusiastic nods from the women beside him.
As the Vesta flocked back, Stella held her hand against his cheeks, her warm and compassionate embrace strangely quieting his fears, unlike the possessive embrace that Maria had wrapped his neck with, her arms now resembling a deadly predator snake.
'It seems that the time apart affected them more than they let on... Amy and Sarah should be a little fearsome.' Alexander thought, having been away for several days.
"Sarah and Amy?" Alex asked as they slowly walked down the street, most of the destroyed cars and corpses now gone, while they used the cars and trucks to make a maze to stop the zombies rushing straight to the main base.
"Amy is fighting against the western horde—when you began your change, almost a million zombies rushed into New Haven... Thanks to the strange event, most were ripped apart and became blood and meat that helped you both, but the stragglers lingered in the south, west and east, so Brunhild, Amy and Sarah are now fighting in those directions to keep the amount of them low. The news might make you a bit fearful..." Stella mentioned with some trepidation, which wasn't lost on Alex.
"Tell me," He urged.
They held his hands tightly.
"There's still about two hundred thousand undead in the city," Mildred muttered with an exhausted sigh.
Her words fell into Alexander's mind, the memory of seeing millions rush at him with frenzy entering his mind once more, and then he realised that it was both a blessing and curse.
He could use them to empower the Vesta and girls to an even higher level, but the journey north seemed to have been delayed by at least a week or two, maybe more, depending on the recovery of Amy and Sarah's mothers.
"Any survivors?" Alexander asked, the matter troubling his mind.
Stella answered the best.
"A few hundred scattered here and there, although they are very cautious after their experiences, and several brave fighters are dealing with many stragglers, preventing them from joining the main hordes."
"What about Simon?" Alexander wondered if he remained in the Lone Star City...
"Simon brought around three hundred people and asked to support you—he is currently not residing in the main base but is building a smaller one for his people in a huge hotel to the south of our main base."
'Good... He survived. I was worried he might die for those humans.'
"Who is the leader of the stragglers?" He wondered if there was no way they didn't have a leader to survive.
"Mmmm, it's a woman..." Mildred didn't continue as she pouted, and their group approached a gathering of about twelve humans. While at the lead was a beautiful woman with brown hair and blue eyes holding a spear as she chopped down zombies and mutants like they were vegetables.
"It's her... Alex." Mildred muttered.
Alexander followed her sight, and his eyebrow lifted in amusement.
'Rare beauty. A ten out of ten. Didn't even become an old dried-up noodle in her late thirties; I wonder where she was hiding?'
"We should take her," Alexander declared and received strange looks from the girls beside him, especially Stella, whose gaze went cold and murderous as he didn't explain why, though he merely ignored her displeasure and continued.
'More toys can never be a bad idea.' Alexander added a new member to his mental list.
His mind was about to create some extraordinary and lust-inducing schemes for her later, and his thoughts returned to the fight.
'Today is such a fantastic day... let's find Amy and celebrate.
'More love. More play, and... ' His gaze flickered to the entrance of a mansion as the thought of delicious alcohol crossed his mind.
'Find a fresh drink. I need some fresh drink.'
For the last few months, he hadn't felt drunk. Now he understood a bit of why, thanks to the strange feeling inside him.
'I want a big glass of rum and coke, a smoke or six... and sex, lots of sex!'
For Alexander, everything seemed perfectly perfect Today, tomorrow, or whenever. As for his small and vicious desires, a party wasn't exactly a bad idea.
He just wanted to have a fun night after fighting against monsters and not some bitter thoughts and worrying about tomorrow.
"Take us back home," Alexander declared with a faint smirk on his lips.
As his eyes were emerald, back to his usual self and filled with confidence, the air suddenly seemed less dull and gloomy as the girls smiled and guided him down the street with a lighter pace.
