How many days had they been fighting, switching, and slowly pushing forward?

The girls had changed several times every three days, but the wounded and dead were increasing with the advent of Stage Seven, who were rare but could almost take Brunhild, Valu and Kaliara solo...

Things were getting even more grim for Alexander, who was now sitting with his back against the wall and enjoying the soft mouth of Stella, who was extremely exhausted, with the best way to boost her power, his essence.

Her warm tongue wrapped around his long member from the tip to the base—as she sucked on him with a sticky wet vacuum, her cheeks inverted as they pressed on his shaft, trying to urge his thick jelly to release in her mouth.

"Mmmmn... more... Nnnph... Gubuh...." Stella moaned with her eyes closed while Alexander's hand caressed her head, feeling her smooth silver hair that was stained with blood and dust.

She wanted more, not only his seed but also his strength, so she would feel better, stronger, and able to fight without fear of death.

Alexander didn't blame her since it was like a drug, and she was addicted to it after all she had gone through during the last week of fighting, where she had lost friends and suffered injuries.

He, too, needed this quick moment of heat to endure the cold, frigid battle that was now almost never-ending.

Stella moved her head up and down, slurping sounds escaping her throat as she sucked with a strong suction force, trying to get him to release faster.

Alexander groaned with pleasure, watching how her small mouth was unable to swallow half of his length, so she used both hands to stroke what couldn't fit.

But Stella was a succubus, so she wasn't just sucking him off—no, she was using her Spiritual Energy to stimulate the nerve endings in his penis, making Alexander feel the stimulation of hundreds of tongues licking and wrapping his glans, sending shivers down his spine.

He grunted when he finally released, letting out a large amount of jelly into her throat, which Stella swallowed without wasting a single drop.

After drinking his life energy, she felt revitalized, but most importantly, she felt loved and protected by Alexander, who hugged her tightly, helping her to clean her mouth with her toothbrush and mouthwash, as she had told him that she didn't like the scent on her breath in bed, now he made sure to be the one to clean them as it was his mess that made the scent.

"Thank you..." Stella said as she kissed his lips, feeling refreshed and ready to face another horde of monsters.

Alexander smiled, "Anytime," he answered and gave her one last kiss before she went to rest, as it was his turn to fight. Stepping outside, he saw the exhausted Himari and Ayami— both of them looked at him with weak smiles as he hugged them tightly. "thank you for fighting so hard. Are you okay?"

They nodded with tired sighs, "We're fine—we are just a bit tired," Himari replied as Alexander hugged both women, with Ayami pulling away while Himari leaned into his chest—their relationship was slowly improving as he kept Himari. Ayami, Megan and Patricia were there all the time.

"You two should go rest. I will take care of the slack."

"Mmm..." Himari looked unwilling as Alexander kissed her for the second time, making Ayami frown and look away with a slight blush—Alexander was aware of their feelings for him and was surprised that Himari still tried to pursue him even here.

His lips parted hers, as their tongues gently danced together—Himari moaned slightly while Alexander squeezed her soft ass, making her smile and pull away, "Rest well, Master~" she whispered, and Alexander slapped her buttocks, making her yelp as she went inside the room along with Ayami, who looked at him longingly, at him but said nothing.

Before she could vanish, he pulled her arm, "Yah!~" his arms wrapped around her petite frame and looked into her stunned eyes. "do you want me to kiss you, Ayami?" he asked with a smile, making her heart beat faster while she blushed deeply, nodding like a shy maiden.

Alexander cupped her cheek and brought her closer—Ayami closed her eyes as she felt her first kiss being stolen by Alexander, who gently massaged her buttocks, making her moan softly.

Their lips departed after a few seconds—Ayami sighed dreamily before he couldn't stop himself from kissing her again with more passion, squeezing her soft butt cheeks while Ayami embraced him tightly, enjoying as his tongue dominated her mouth, coiling around her tongue as they sucked on each other's saliva, before pulling apart as a thick string of drool dribbles down her dazed neck.

"Go rest; I will protect you," Alexander said, making her nod happily—she waved goodbye and stumbled into the shared tent as he watched her disappear inside the room with Himari.

"Finally... he kissed you so passionately! Fufu, Ayami, our lord, seems to really like you."

The sound of Himari celebrating entered his ears as Ayami muttered, "Don't... so embarrassing..."

Alexander shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the battlefield, covered in huge craters and countless vesta now stationed here; no longer just a few women but a hundred vesta were here to help clear the weak ones.

They had covered over six miles in a few days, clearing the entire snowy trench, but the enemies were growing in size, number and power...

"It's hell.." Alexander muttered as he looked at the endless horde of frozen monsters that seemed to cover the entire trench.

Stage four Vesta were everywhere, killing the weaker ones that were slowly turning into a nuisance—Alexander watched the scene with a heavy heart before drawing his dual eclipse blades and covering his body in the blood armour of his ghoul King form.

"Let's crush as many as possible."

Alexander fought tirelessly, cutting dozens of Stage Five Mutants and Zombies while crushing the smaller ones—his attacks were powerful enough to cut or destroy their bodies with ease, but he soon felt overwhelmed when Stage Five appeared, followed by Stage Six, which started to appear more frequently.

"Shit..."

His right arm was broken, with the blood armour cracked and hanging from his body... In all honesty, if he hadn't rushed or tried to prevent other Vesta from fighting the stronger monsters, he would have been fine, but like his mother, Alexander sacrificed himself to keep them safe.

"Alex!" Laura's voice sounded, causing him to tilt his gaze towards her as she pointed behind him, only for him to turn and see a strange zombie... jet black, with a tight muscular exoskeleton.

Like a whip, the black mutant's foot shot towards him, snapping the very atmosphere with its power as he blocked his chest, with both arms crossed together, hoping to block its kick...

Bang! —An impact so loud it sounded in the defensive base.

Alexander spat out blood, falling backwards, shooting into the ground, creating shockwaves while feeling his bones crackling—he looked at the stage seven mutant with fear, wondering how he would kill something so strong, but suddenly...

"Die!" Laura's body, like a nymph, attacked rapidly, her blows rapid as she sliced and attacked the black mutant, forcing it to defend itself as it didn't expect such a strong attack—Laura was a stage five herself. But her speed and penetrating were superior to any Vesta here, and she was slowly reaching Stage Six thanks to Alexander's essence.

However... the gap was too big, and Alexander knew it when Laura flew backwards like a bullet, crashing next to him with a bloody wound on her abdomen that was bleeding profusely...

"Damn..." Laura cursed as she stood up, ignoring her wound as she faced the mutated zombie, only for Alexander to stand up—he clenched his fists tightly as his body regenerated rapidly... He was stage six now, but the difference between six and seven was quite a lot, and he hated to admit it.

But Laura wasn't weak, and Alexander admired her courage and determination, so he stood up once again—stroking her soft cheek before he tossed her towards the distance Megan, who was the one in charge of first aid.

"Get her fixed up, Meg. Thanks, I'll reward you later."

Before he turned to face the stage seven that watched him, a strange smile on its mouth, a white set of sharp teeth smiling distortedly as if mocking him.

"Katrin.... Venri.... let's go all out..." Alexander called the two inside his blades as he stepped forward, a black and red armour covering his entire body as his muscles condensed, wings of blood forming from his back as he shot forward, both blades tearing through the air.

Boom! —Alexander clashed with the mutant zombie, the sound so loud that everyone stopped fighting, watching as Alexander and the stage seven exchanged blows, with each blow causing a loud, resounding shockwave and blast.

Alexander was pushed back, with his blood armour cracking rapidly—he frowned as he tried to slash its neck, but his blade was deflected, causing him to grunt painfully before dodging a fist that would have crushed his skull and sliced across the body of the mutant, the black blade tearing open the armour like jelly.

"Tch..." Alexander clicked his tongue as the monster staggered—it growled at him, causing its skin to burst as tentacles appeared, attacking rapidly, piercing and cutting his blood armour, forcing him to fly back while blocking as much as he could.

Putting one hand forward, hundreds of blood lances formed around the mutant before he clenched his hand, and they fired like remote missiles.

BOOM! —Explosions echoed as Alexander looked at the cloud of smoke, waiting for an opening before shooting forward, hoping to stab its head...

The sound of flesh being penetrated echoed as the red cloud faded, the mutant now completely impaled with his tentacles dancing in the air while pinned to the ground.

Alexander smirked triumphantly as he looked at stage seven—but his happiness vanished when the tentacles retracted, piercing his body before shooting towards him, piercing his shoulder, chest, leg and waist...

"Cheating bastard!" Alexander shouted angrily as he desperately dodged them, flying towards the mutant to behead him... But the mutant dodged Alexander's sword, appearing behind him, grabbing his wings, and twisting them forcefully as Alexander screamed painfully.

Alexander swung his blades, but the stage seven dodged effortlessly before kicking his stomach, shooting him upwards as it jumped towards him—the zombie punched through Alexander's chest, grabbing his beating heart as Alexander looked at the zombie in horror, watching as its jaw opened wide, showing its white fangs...

Biting his beating heart—Alexander's scream echoed on the battlefield as he bit down on the neck of the mutant and began to devour the mutant as it ate his heart...historical

Both of them consumed each other—Alexander watched as the mutant became thinner and weaker while his wounds healed rapidly—only stopping when it was reduced to Stage Four before Alexander kicked it far away, watching as its body shattered, leaving only bones...

Alexander fell onto his knees, spitting out black blood mixed with meat and organs before he puked out everything in his stomach, cursing at the taste being delicious despite the thing he ate...

"ugh... will I die with no heart...?"

Those were his last words before he collapsed, but stage seven would rue its actions...

Because he began his evolution... finally, after waiting over two weeks at maximum blood essence... he was going to reach stage seven.
