Alexander's group slowly paced through the dark forest, all equipped with the new armour created by the two perverted women: a talented blacksmith and a tailor who worked together.
'I never expected the finished products to be so attractive... Let's make them for everyone back home, an extra special Red one for Ruby and Stella, and a blue one for Lapis and Sarah when we meet... Amy likes black, so let's get her a black dress... I will start moving to meet them when I return.'
Since spending two weeks in this world, Alexander began to spend hours thinking to himself alone in the dark, cold nights.
He enjoyed sleeping with the women here but learned that going over his thoughts and plans was extremely important, even more so now he was a leader, the number of dark elves numbering 30, with 10 Vesta from the knights of Qilana.
'I am glad I didn't rush things with Qilana, the relationship we are slowly building will be more meaningful when it finally goes all the way..'
Slowly they pushed forward; today, he brought five dark elves, Zilna the beautiful Gigante, over 7ft, with her beautiful caramel limbs filled with smooth, luscious skin and strong, dense muscles.
At first, everyone was a little freaked by her changes, but Qilana accepted her instantly, which relieved him and Zilna.
Today they would enter an area even the dark elves didn't reach, but for some reason, there was one annoying thing recently.
Alexander turned his head as a flash of white hair quickly swished behind a thick tree, two long brown ears peeking from the side of the trunk, and a wide pair of hips and bowed on the girl's back.
'Why is this dark-elven princess following me now?'
He discovered from the second group of dark elves that after he defeated the princess, she seemed to become obsessed with him, cancelling her planned marriage to the tribe's best male and demanding that he is captured and made to marry her.
Alex argued with them about how stupid it was, but they looked so tired and weary that he felt bad, despite them being his prisoners.
After he captured the second group, she began to join the assaults on his team, but for some reason, he never captured her, leaving her alone with two defenders as he took the rest; it became like a fun game for him.
Each time he saw her, she looked cuter as she brought fewer guards, meaning it took a long time to get 20 dark elves; now she came out alone, making him wonder if their queen was an idiot or did their tribe give up on this tomboy.
'Forget it, if she's this determined, let's ask her to join me instead of beating her... sometimes she even lets out a strange moan when I beat her... Did I break another normal girl...'
Shaking his head, he stepped forward as the other girls noticed her but avoided eye contact as if she was some plague.
"Okay, so nobody has returned from this dark area... Everyone be on your guard and protect the sisters beside you. Safety and survival are more important than minor glory."
The women, especially the dark elves, gave a slight hum and snort.
"That's an order!" He shouted.
He smiled teasingly at them as their cute ears flopped down, grasping their bows tightly and looking at him sadly as if he had just violated their mother.
"Venri, how is your lower body?" He asked softly before stroking along her smooth buttocks, squeezing them with a rough grip.
"Ahn~ master... it'll drip...!"
"Haha, make sure you don't try anything sneaky; today is dangerous, okay? You are too important to me to die for some random scouting mission; think of Selmot and the incoming danger. Alright?"
Alexander's hand began to caress her ass, squeezing and pulling the slightly plump meat she enjoyed greatly with narrowed eyes like a cat.
"Mmmn...!"
Moving away, he felt his ass grasped from both sides as the strong-bodied Zilna and Katrin placed their strong hands over his back, leaning forward as they kissed his cheeks, looking at him with passionate eyes.
"Oh, you two... My ass is the best, right?"
"Mmm... I want to eat it." Zilna teased, remembering last night when he sat on her face, almost choking her to death with his member lodged in her throat.
"Master... you are so narcissistic... It was merely a bug that my hand squished..." Katrin said with a slight blush on her cheeks, not as shameless as the Gigante reaching towards his front before he swatted her hand away.
"Behave later for that stuff. Zilna focus, it's an order."
"Phew."
"Okay, Dark elves, you are the rearguard; if you see anything, don't speak shoot, then speak! If you cannot kill it with one shot, shoot twice; if it still lives, fire until you are empty!"
"Knights, don't rely on the armour to dodge any blows; we don't know what kind of poison, disease or strange curses any monster inside that strange place might have!"
Alexander's eyes focused on the huge black dome; it was like a thick mist that never passed; there was no water, and the entire forest's vegetation around the dome, for about 5 metres distance away, was dead, withered and began to rot and turn black.
There was a vile scent in the air, but it didn't affect the Ghoul Chieftain and his vesta; as he grasped the long handle of his Nodachi.
He could almost hear the sword's sound as Eien's loving voice. This made the blade's vibrations seem like a gentle and passionate song dedicated towards him.
His hand slipped forward, the blade sliding from the sheath.
A dark black and red shimmering in this unholy forest.
Slowly his feet sank into the muddy ground, mixed water and sludge from the rotten plants and trees, countless carcases stripped to the bones littered around the dome.
Alex felt something watching him, not the affectionate stalking princess.
It was aggressive, wanting him dead.
He held his sword in both hands, pointing the blade towards the dome at his shoulder, ready to slash either below or above his eyesight, as the group began to progress forward, the sloshy mush of the mud and crackling of dried twigs as their leather armour chafed.
Alexander focused on the front.
The stench grew stronger as they moved deeper within the dark, gloomy dome. The only light was the moonlight reflecting off the surface, illuminating the moss-like green slime covering everything.
Zilna, the tall beauty, stood ahead of Alexander, holding her bow and arrows tight against her chest while keeping watch.
Before she could react, the dark elves shot countless arrows with a long volley, the cascading arrows barraging the northeast as a strangely distorted scream sounded.
A huge creature's body lunged forward, massive claws more than 30cm slicing through the air, just inches from Venri's throat as Alexander's quick hands pulled her back, his cheek torn by the black beast, with two heads.
Its face distorted and mouth filled with thousands of sharp jagged teeth snapped towards Alexander, its mouth opened wide enough to swallow his head whole.
He desperately blocked the creature's powerful bite with Eien's tough body, the blade slicing through its cheeks easily, with strange black blood spurting over Alexander's face, slowly the blood causing his skin and face to melt.
"Its blood is Acid! Don't let it touch you!"
He shouted before thrusting his knee with a brutal blow to the stage beast's midsection, its four legs quivering as it flew into the air, elven arrows raining down as they caused the beast to scream, seeing their master hurt; it was a natural reaction as their bows fired over and over until half their quivers were empty.
The fearful beast, now dead on the ground like a disgusting hedgehog, as the arrows began to sizzle.
A huge black light floated from the beast before it poured into the group, just like the usual white light, but it was strange... euphoric; Alexander knew this was far more potent than anything he had absorbed before, his muscles and nerves tingling as he almost climaxed.
'Fuck!'
"Mmmn~!" Venri's cute moan sounded as the group suddenly lost focus momentarily.
At that moment, more than 10 pairs of eyes opened in the darkness, watching them; as their howls sounded.
Alexander felt a sense of crisis, his spine tingling and flooded with cold sweat, grasping Eien tightly as he rushed towards the huge beasts hidden in the darkness.
He refused to put even one of them in danger.
His foot stepped on a broken stub, launching forward with Eien above his head, and swinging down with a deadly slash, cutting through the air as the frontmost monster attacked him first, its huge maw snapping shut and clamping down on his right forearm.
"Ghhh! Little bitch!"
With his hand inside the monster's mouth, he focused his thoughts, blood-forming into sharp spears inside its mouth.
All were created from Alexander's blood as they began to shoot rapidly, a barrage of countless small blood spines digging into the beast's fleshy mouth with deadly power as they shot through the other side of its face.
Looking to his sides, he saw the beast's all lunging towards him as he cut across the air swiftly, the blade slicing two of them into pieces.
While his body was protected by the swirl of blood mist, sending the beast flying back before a huge spear made of pure metal thrust forward and ripped the beast, biting down onto his arm and sending it flying into the distance without power.
"Alexander! Are you alright!?" Zilna's panicked voice sounded as her huge body kicked another beast, exploding its innards as they burst from its mouth and rear from the powerful blow.
