Chapter 243 - Gorgeous beauties

“I can use this guy now,” Alex whispered after his party returned to the battlefield. Before his eyes, Nobum appeared. He was the skeleton orc that Alex had created through the soul fragments and the bone seal.

The skeleton orc was loyal and ready to execute Alex’s orders.

Of course, Alex hadn’t used him because the undead was infamous. People would think in many ways after being saved by the undead, let alone his master. And it wasn’t like Alex needed Nobum Skeleton to move on the battlefield.

But now that his goal was to just get to the capital, Alex summoned the undead. He also let out Bo, which had dropped on Nobum’s head. The wolf’s level was significantly lower than Alex’s party, so the battle spirit would have difficulty following everyone.

That changed with Nobum Skeleton at the party.

Nobum’s bones were of high quality. They came from the soul grave-keeper’s bone bank, which meant those bones were also polished and cultivated through exquisite methods.

Contrary to Nobum, Bo was Alex’s first battle spirit. He had good origins, but he severely lacked in many areas as Alex didn’t have a strong wolf or werewolf as a reference for Bo’s development.

Alex peeked at Stella’s face. She slept on his back, seemingly not interested in the battle. That appearance should’ve hurt Alex and his beloveds, yet it suited Stella so much that they didn’t comment on it.

For now, Alex kept her to himself, hoping she would lend her abilities to her family. In the worst case, Alex would use them himself.

He then glanced at Remia, who had been healed thoroughly. She stood with confidence, her new creation by her side. Their eyes flared with resolution as they didn’t want events to repeat themselves.

He smiled at her, then looked ahead, “Our goal is the capital of Berden Kingdom. Let’s head straight here.”

And thus, the family moved at quite a fast pace.

BOOM! BANG! BOOM!

After getting pretty close to the capital, Alex and his girls could hear and see the explosions of various skills coming from the city. The dense mist was not strong enough to hide everything that had been happening here.

The capital was swallowed in constant battles. Most of it was under the Berden Royal’s family control, yet, some betraying nobles proved to be a pain in the ass. They took around 30% of the capital’s lands through their schemes with villains and hungry demons.

Their knowledge about the capital’s hidden passages allowed them to assail residents and even people of royal birth.

Alex had information from Tomo Homie, though. He and his homies were in the guild called [Mastermind]. There were other two guilds in the capital whose positions were pretty high in the rankings.

Of course, Mastermind was in the top five, and they had the most say. However, the situation was so tight that everyone would rather have one competent leader than three guild masters fighting against each other.

But for some reason, Tomo Homie was in charge of the whole battlefield.

“That’s impressive,” Sara commented, smiling at Alex. She looked forward to meeting his friends. It was important to leave a good impression, so Sara asked a few important questions before the whole battlefield began.

Schnee and Remia were the same while Stella slept on Alex’s back.

Alex chuckled, “I’m sure his girlfriend helped him.”

He then conveyed what Tomo Homie had told him about the capitals, “Because the antagonists actually control the event, the royalties can not declare their events for helping the Avander World’s side. For that reason alone, many players turned to the hungry demons’ side or just left the scene.

The Avander World’s side is at a disadvantage in every area other than capital. It won’t be long before everyone starts using their Ultimate Skills from that side. But royalties fear that the moment they start doing that, their loss will be inevitable.”

Sara and others nodded gravely as they now understood the antagonist’s plot well. They held the information to themselves, controlling it entirely. They even used a system that had been omnipotent in everyone’s eyes.

It was not weird for residents to feel betrayed and for players to just give up on them as the system simply never lied.

Yet, the hungry demon’s manipulated their event thoroughly.

Alex whispered, “Our goal is to catch our targets. And then, we will speak about the royal birth. If they have no research or progress about the Lost Kingdom, I will leave these lands to the hungry demons.

There’s no other point,” Alex concluded.

And his girls nodded, believing that it was the appropriate move. They had no connection with the human kingdoms, and everyone from the hungry demons’ side wasn’t their enemy.

Alex also didn’t want too much responsibility, for he believed he would revert to his old self once again.

Following Tomo Homie’s route, Alex stepped safely into the capital. He went through the safe zones, yet those looked so devastated that Alex imagined a few enemies lurking within the crumbled houses and facilities.

He and his wives had hidden their bodies in long robes, so their privacy was still on point.

Nobum Skeleton and Bo were the same, but these two looked pretty comical and odd that anyone would find them suspicious.

“Alex!” Tomo Homie called out to his friend.

Alex and his girls looked in his direction. While the girls thought about the first impression, except for Stella and Schnee, Alex smiled, picking up the pace to meet with his good homie.

They exchanged the usual gesture, then Alex took off his hoodie, “Let me speak with the royals, Tom.”

“I know,” Tomo Homie grinned, “I didn’t make even inquiry about The Lost Kingdom because I know you will ask them.”

And then, Tomo Homie looked at Alex’s back. He had a sleeping beauty on himself, her white hair and pretty face nearly giving Tom diabetes. She looked so adorable and precious that Tomo Homie would also lend his back for her despite having a girlfriend.

After taking a few more glances at Stella, Tomo Homie was drawn by Sara’s voice, which was polite and pleasant. He was once again struck speechless as Sara’s beauty was the same, yet her charm was different.

She seemed like a reliable pillar who always kept Alex and her family’s interests as the main priority.

Then, Tomo Homie noticed Schnee, the tempting kitty. Her tail swayed enigmatically behind her while her wide smile made Tomo Homie question his tastes. He didn’t know those cat girls could look this cute.

No wonder girls on Earth like to buy fake cat ears and wear them!

And then, Tom saw Remia, which was on the very back. Her warm gaze was filled with love toward everyone gathered here. She also seemed like a lady who was highly interested in Alex’s friends, ready to share her warmth with them.

Of course, Tomo Homie didn’t think of anything perverted. Rather, Remia gave him a feeling of a mother looking over her son with care.

Still, regardless of his initial impressions of those beauties, Tomo Homie was indeed struck speechless by their gorgeous looks.

He whispered, “Wow, you lucky bastard.”

Alex grinned.
