"The winner!"

"Our Crimson Demoness Eien!"

A bloodstained arena, the half-dead boy of a male who made perverted comments towards her, barely breathing on the ground.

His arms were crushed, ripped from his body.

Legs shattered, torn from his waist.

Eien stood in the centre as Alexander watched from the stands; this time, he wasn't teased by Valu and forced into a kiss.

Instead, they sat together in a VIP seat she normally used, her hands stroking along his thigh; he realised she felt a sense of threat from Eien, ranked 10th on the Local list.

'Ah, my cute Eien, you grow stronger with each kill as I do, but why does part of your experience enter my body?'

'Is your love and devotion that strong?'

'Or have I finally become a monster after devouring so many demons' lives?'

Alexander didn't mind Valu's actions anymore; the more strength he gained, the less offensive and inferior it made him feel.

She was now ranked 2nd, meaning someone on the list died or moved to another city.

However, his climb from being thousands apart to only 6-7 away from her completely changed his view of the world.

He was no longer one of the weaklings who needed to look for others to support and protect him as he grew stronger.

Alexander was the existence that needed to protect and help his Vesta grow stronger.

"It's strange." Valu's husky voice sounded, her body leaning against his shoulder, licking the tip of his ears with her long purple tongue.

"Why does a woman weaker than you have such a powerful aura? How does she crush an enemy that was ranked higher than her?"

He looked at the woman beside him moving his hand towards her face, before pulling on her cute antennae that flickered with every movement of the battle or people that moved around them.

'Hmmm, it's so fluffy!'

"Ahn~ little Alex, please release my antennae... that's like a woman's most sensitive part!" Valu pleaded, her lips trembling; even the hand teasing his cock stopped completely, now trembling on his thigh.

"Oh? So I only needed to play with these to make you into a cute little cat?"

"Nnnm.. don't rub the tips...!"

'Hahaha, this is so funny.'

Valu's cheeks were flushed red with embarrassment, her tail twitching nervously behind her back.

As much as Alexander wanted to enjoy himself while watching Eien fight, he couldn't resist being given a chance to counterattack this damn Vamuran.

Her soft skin was smooth under his fingers, her chest rising up and down rapidly with her heavy breathing.

"So cute~ if you were like this before, I might have just slept with you when you still had the chance to devour me after."

historical

"Haa....bastard... I will eat you after your seed fills my belly!" Valu snapped, her hands pinching his thigh, but the power was degraded by his skilled fingers teasing both antennae.

"Sure, okay. Make our ranks C, please; I know you can do it. The ranks aren't even official, and just what you decide so we don't kill ourselves, right?"

Valu glared at him through narrowed eyes, her breath quickening as she tried to regain composure.

"Fine! But don't think about playing with my antennae anymore!" She snarled, releasing his thighs and standing straight.

Alexander let her slip through his fingers, with a smirk on his face watching the round swaying ass of Valu with a lustful gaze.

'I will conquer you soon, make you my strongest fighter and show you a life of euphoria and bliss.'

It felt like she was trying to escape from him, which he found amusing before Eien started to rush up the stairs towards him.

He instantly changed face if there was a comparison.

Eien would come before Valu every single time.

He watched quietly as the huge red demon's body began to seem cute and lovely to him, no matter the size of her body.

The actions of Eien were more like a petite college girl reminding him of the first time he saw Sarah smoking in university and her stupid face.

"Haha."

Her body entered the VIP room before jumping into his arms, her face filled with smiles as if she won some gold medal.

"Haha~ I won, hehe! Praise me, master!"

[I crushed that creep~ praise me, bastard!]

Sometimes he couldn't tell which voice was from which girl, sometimes Eien reverting to the season and cute voice and Kaliara's former rough and queen-like voice that spoke down to him.

The two spend 20 minutes messing around together before leaving the guild.

->Apocalypse Coins: 16,540

He made up for the ones he gave to Zalina and Qilana to help them survive until the third wave causing him to give a wry smile.

'Ah, It's so easy to make coins if I try to improve.'

'Let's have McAlister craft a standard weapon and armour for all my Vesta that matches their lewd dress. Maybe some bows, too, so they don't use those crap novice ones.'

"Eien, I will visit the blacksmith, then another woman. What do you want to do, or can you find your way home alone?"

"The choice is all yours."

Eien nodded, she enjoyed spending time with Alexander more than anything, but now, with her own body, she wanted to explore the village and do things for him.

Things that would be a surprise for him.

"Can I have some coins? I only have a few, sorry..."

"Haha, what are you talking about? Without you in the first place, I would have long since died or lost my way."

Alexander handed over 2,000 coins to Eien, although it seemed excessive.

He wanted to spoil his women, and Eien was as important as Sarah and Amy, who were with him even before the end.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay with me?" He asked for a moment, unwilling to part with her.

"Master, don't you want to take Venri and Katrin around? Maybe look into reforging the blade now it homes so many girls... Eien was forged to become an eastern blade."

"These girls might seek other forms..."

Eien's words were more sentimental.

He even felt the unsheathed sword wrapped in white cloth vibrating as if happy for her words.

He realised it was true the moment she spoke, but the blade Sarah created must remain rather than a reforging.

"Master... In the future, can you call me Kaliara? That sword... the meaning and name, I don't wish to take from my creator's love for you."

"I will always love you and cherish you. But that sword alone remains eternally "Eien" I hope you can understand our choice."

The voices were from both women at once, there was no dissonance, and they seemed to be completely synchronised, so he nodded before looking at the sword again.

Something about her previous words caused his mind to enter a strange trance, a moment of focus that he couldn't shrug off.

Alex began considering using multiple weapons, even creating clawed gauntlets to match his ghoul form...

He had so many ideas and thoughts, no longer constricted to a simple style; he was strong, fast and with unlimited stamina.

Why not try some extreme methods?

'It's like my entire world just opened up!' Alexander looked at her in shock; he felt like when people say:

"Poverty limits the imagination." It applied to him when it came to weapons.

His weapon is a nodachi, so he must wield only a nodachi. What if he fought in a small cave? Or against an enemy too fast for his blade.

Many of his women were extremely skilled with countless weapons, from daggers to bows and spears, so why limit himself?

'Could McAlister make me weapons to hold Venri and Katrin's spirit? Wait!?'

"What if I use the lost Vesta souls... to create the normalised weapons for the Vesta here, building bonds together so they will always have a "Sister" that will one day gain their own body... Like a spirit sword birthing factory..."

He wasn't speaking to Eien, but the blade she left, now vibrating with strange alternating rhythms and strength.

'I can feel you all... Are you willing to do that? To leave my side to support your future sisters?'

Alexander's body stopped walking in the middle of the path, McAlister's blacksmith only a few steps away, slamming his hammer down on the anvil as always, when he felt something.

McAlister turned towards Alex and noticed the strangeness of his sword, a strange light of passion in his eyes before the dwarf suddenly began to dash towards him with his stubby legs and muscular body.

"Laddie! How did you manage to fill that wonderful sword with so many spirits? The epitome of my ancestor's blacksmithing! Yet you, a dumb bastard who loves women, achieved it with a single sword!"

"Oh~ sorry, McAlister, I have a favour to ask!"

"Me too, Laddie! Let me examine that sword!"

The two men looked at each other, Eien slowly fading into the background, her eyes watching his back with a smile; her destination was Ayami.

She knew her master would not force her to become a full Vesta, but Eien saw something when fusing with kaliara.

The second wave would hit within days, and the demons were already preparing for the final wave.

This meant something or someone was speeding up the rate at which these waves were happening, like someone wanted to reach Alexander's world faster.

'I know you will feel regret, but I will make her your most powerful Vesta, along with those you hold dear at the base.' She thought, holding a jar of dark red and white goods.

This was a potion she created herself after seeing the effect blood had.

It was a mixture of his essence and blood.

Alexander misunderstood, though; there wouldn't be a long parting as once she turned Ayami and bought some things to improve herself and the others using Kaliara's demon knowledge to improve people's bodies and their foundation.

She would wait for him at the gate, making sure she bought the BEST ingredients for his elixir first, and then everyone else would get the one lower.

Because Eien's Eternal master and love was only Alexander Faust, no matter how she changed.
