Dread Sovereign: Monster Girl Harem

Chapter 225 44: Two In One Night! Chaos Begins...

The beast lord began to transform his body, becoming more grotesque and beastlike. His body was like a gryphon, and his face was like a hawk, a mixture of several birds that disgusted Raven.

However, Raven remained calm as he stretched out his hand, mor'vaal appearing with a flash, as his body lowered, now with silver scales covering his legs, once again using the dragon scales of Zeon to protect his mobility, this time even his feet were normal but covered in a thick white scale forming pseudo sabatons and greaves of dragon scales.

His thick hide and upper scales looked as if he wore blue armour, with his arms being protected by large gauntlets made of thick, dark blue manticore scales; Raven used Zeon's dragon scales to protect his mobility while using the manticore scales to cover his vital parts, arms, and shoulders.

"YOU! DIE!"

The Beast Lord roared furiously as he charged forward; Raven remained unmoved, watching him charge forward crazily.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

Large explosions rang out as the beast lord charged forward relentlessly; Raven stood before him, his body enduring the attacks calmly, using the blade of his axe to absorb most of the explosive power of the beast lord's punches and swipes.

'He's using his wings to increase his speed and power in the last moment...'

Raven analysed calmly as he blocked the beast lord's attacks; he noticed the beast lord would flap his wings madly and use the burst of wind energy to increase his speed, landing a devastating punch or kick that left Raven's entire body numb.

Slowly, his feet dug into the ground, cracking the earth from the shockwaves and weight of the two behemoths.

Raven remained unmoved as he blocked the beast lord's attacks; however, the beast lord wasn't so calm as he became lost in his rage due to taking a complete beast form.

Raven's eyes narrowed as he watched the beast lord lose himself; he used blossom steps to dodge the next punch aimed at his face before raising mor'vaal high in the skies.

With a low grunt, Raven smashed the blade of his axe against the Beast Lord's arm, tearing apart the thick flesh easily, but the solid muscle and bone stopped the blade with a loud ding. 

He kicked forward, smashing against the beast lord's knee, causing him to kneel on one leg with a powerful recoiling force, making Raven feel slight pain.

With a cruel smile, Raven chopped mor'vaal downwards, cutting the Beast Lord's right-wing, it didn't tear cleanly, so he began to hack and maul the beast lord, using his spare hand to push the lord down into the ground, with both his tails smashing into his face repeatedly.

"Stay down, you damn animal." 

Raven's eyes were fierce as his axe finally tore through the wing; the beast lord roared painfully as Raven stomped his foot on the beast lord's head, pushing it down into the ground. He used blossom steps to appear above the Beast Lord's remaining wing.

Before a second howl, a massive storm blew his body away from the beast lord.

"How.... how dare you!?"

"I am... Vestalt!!! Lord of BEASTS!"

Once again, the beast lord's body began to throb and writhe as his muscles and flesh pulsated like a disgusting worm. His body was deformed, the wings of a gryphon falling to the ground before melting, now slim and shorter; Raven watched calmly as he witnessed Vestalt's transformation again.

His body changed, becoming more grotesque and ferocious; his nose turned into a bird beak, his face became more birdlike, and his hair turned into a series of feathers, now having a long feathery coat around his body that resembled a lion's mane.

His arms were those of an eagle, with long claws that shimmered dangerously; however, Raven remained calm as he watched Vestalt's transformation end.

"Vestalt, huh? Your reign is over; bow your head and offer yourself to me." Raven laughed cruelly as he raised mor'vaal threateningly.

"What can a bird with no wings do anyway-" 

*Woosh*

The howl of the wind sounded as Vestalt vanished from Raven's sight, the sense of pain before he heard a thud and saw that his arm had dropped to the ground, with part of it now inside the beak of Vestalt.

Raven's eyes revealed killing intent as he swung mor'vaal mercilessly, slicing Vestalt's body in half; however, the lord vanished again! 

'I cannot follow his movements!?'

The howling wind sounded, and Raven focused only on that sound as his arm began to restore, the blood and broken scales gone, just his almond-coloured skin.

*Woosh*

Raven's instincts screamed as he jumped back; Vestalt appeared with his claw slashing Raven's body, but he missed and instead slashed and grabbed Mor'Vaal with his sharp talons in a brutal attack with both claws and talons!

Raven roared furiously as Vestalt pulled on mor'vaal, trying to escape before two tails pierced into his abdomen, tearing the flesh of Vestalt mercilessly, as blood poured and feathers scattered.

His body charged forward like a bull as he tackled Vestalt with his shoulder.

The force caused a small shockwave and loud thud as Raven's feet dug into the earth, racing towards the distance, forcing Vestalt to desperately try to escape before smashing him against the dungeon wall.

If Vestalt was swift and deadly like a raging typhoon. 

Raven was a devastating and powerful erupting volcano as his fists began to rain down upon the lord, smashing Vestalt mercilessly, causing his beak to crack and bones to snap. Still, Raven didn't stop, continuing his ruthless barrage of attacks.

Vestalt roared painfully, releasing a wave of sonic screeches; Raven's eyes and ears oozed with blood as his eardrums burst from the attack, hammering into Vestalt's head with his head, brutal headbutts cracking directly against him and smashing Vestalt's skull open, 

With blurry vision and bloody ears, Raven continued his brutal assault, his tails piercing Vestalt's body over and over again; Raven's body glowed in black, purple and red energies as his body took on the characteristics of an orc, a dragon, dryad and even a vampire at points his sharp fangs biting the neck of the feeble Vestalt that lost the power to fight back.

*Crack Crunch Rip!*

Raven's tails continuously tore apart the insides of the beast lord before the tips turned into hooks and tore the flesh open, cracking his ribs and letting his organs slide out onto the floor in victory.

Finally, the beast lord's body fell limp, lifeless; Raven spat out Vestalt's blood before wiping his mouth.

'Another lord... easy... but I feel drained; maybe this beast lord cultivated himself rather than working on his knights... different from the fire lord...'

Raven sighed tiredly as his body was restored, the blood and injuries disappearing before he reached to pick up mor'vaal only to fall to his knee, as the huge wave of essence suddenly surged upon him like a tidal wave...

Because he was alone! 

Almost all of of flooded into his body, almost causing him to explode from absorbing so much essence; Raven groaned painfully as his body trembled violently, but he endured, feeling his pillars of bliss finally seeming to re-awaken after so long being dim since becoming strange after the events with Zeon.

'I must return!'

Raven struggled to stand, but he managed to walk to the dungeon exit, reaching the portal leading him back to his castle; he stumbled forward weakly before crashing to the floor.

"Master!"

Shirone's beautiful figure flashed into Raven's mind before he smiled softly, her worried and tearful expression as she held his head close to her bosom, her tears dropping onto his face.

'It seems these guys get warned when I do stupid things...'

All twelve of his knights were fully geared inside the throne room with a huge map on the table before essence started to flow from his body into them.

As he felt his body growing lighter and his mind slowly fading, he saw the flicker of his attributes and felt amazed at the growth from killing two lords...

"No wonder people want their dungeons..."

Raven wondered why now, instead of getting one bonus upon level, he would get bonus attributes, and if there were a skill to upgrade, it would automatically do so.

Maybe a perk of being a Lord or his evolution.

He didn't know that due to him killing two Lords in one day, there was a price on his head and that many of the weaker lords feared him.

"Hurry, get master to his bed chamber!" Nu'bella bellowed, her body the second one to arrive, as Persha was the first to help him.

Her soft white hands easily lifted the heavy male his body over two metres, filled with thick muscle and likely weighing over two hundred kilograms.

In addition, Gale and Adam began to arrange their defences.

All available troops were now standing at the entrance with a delayed message system with multiple scouts and messengers on the chance someone attacked.

The one most serious was Gale as he looked at Raven in awe. 

Like looking at a hero or god.
