Bang!

The very earth shook from the intense weight of the three Ghasts leaping into the air, something impossible given their huge muscles and hulking bodies; bursting through the air like a flock of eagles, they shot directly towards Alex, who just lowered his nodachi beside his waist, closing his eyes and taking in the entire scene, tightening his muscles he focused his ears.

"ggrrk!"

"Guvak!"

Woosh!

Their hulking bodies arced towards him, like three meteorites ready to destroy him, lifting their huge arms and forming massive hammers with their brutal fists bigger than Alex's head.

'Alex!? Why are you standing still!?'

The black mist around Stella began to form a powerful whirlwind forming small bolts of her shadowy magic; she didn't release them; instead, as her body began to feel a throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation in her head, forming larger spike-sized bolts.

- Stella learned Shadow Magic Manipulation Level 1

A small streak of blood began to ooze from her nose as she felt dizzy; her willpower dropped by 5 to create these spikes as she watched the zombies slam down towards Alex; her eyes closed after seeing a black light flashing, unable to watch.

Alex felt their bodies, smelling their rotten and decaying bodies while grasping tightly on his nodachi, waiting for them to enter his range.

5 metres above...

4 metres above...

3 metres!

Slash!

His black blade cut through the air rapidly, creating a black crescent moon of light as he slashed towards the skies aiming to bifurcate one of the Ghasts at least.

Thud!

However, these weren't stupid zombies; the two Ghasts on the sides twisted their hulking bodies, placing a single foot on the central Ghast before using his body to boost themselves with a powerful kick sending them spiralling beside Alex.

Their sharp claws, like propeller blades, tore through his muscles. As they ripped apart his chest and thighs with gruesome wounds.

Clang!

Black blood sprayed from his body, bubbling and splashing onto the ground as Alex's felt a burning pain, the nodachi slicing through the central Ghast's lower body before it kicked out and sent his body backwards, sliding across the dirt, breathing heavily.

'Fuck, these guys are so fun!'

Woosh!

A claw attempted to tear his head from his body, cutting through the air with a loud howling before Alex could even react to the kick; Stella's eyes widened as she thrust her arms forward, like penetrating the zombies with her own hands.

The whistle of the wind as her sharp spikes in the dozen cut through the air began to sway and circle each other, drawing the attention of the Ghast to Alex's left, but it was just enough; the black spears like ballistae slammed into the Ghast's hand, tearing it apart as massive holes appeared with filthy black blood oozing from them.

"Ah!? I did it!"

Filled with high spirits; her body spun around before lowering her stance, a wave of black shadow energy forming around her like a tsunami; rapidly forming more spikes as she began to bleed from her nose, this magic taking her willpower to a low number.

Yet her face was like Alex's!

Smiling from ear to ear, she felt so much delight from fighting these things as her body began to move, along with a rhythm that only she could hear, swaying and bouncing as the various spikes followed her rhythm, becoming hard to judge.

Alex burst forward with blazing red eyes, his sides healing slowly as he held the nodachi in the ox guard stance; not a good piercing weapon, but it was irrelevant as he wanted to kill the fucker before his eyes.

Bang!

The feeling was near mutual as the zombie with its mutilated pelvis tensed his muscles with a thick bulk and launched forward, each step causing the ground to shake with a resounding noise from each of its powerful steps.

"Grrrraaaak!" Its mouth opened wide, snapping apart, spitting saliva and sticky blood towards Alex like a battle cry.

"Hahahahaha!"

Alex stepped to the side with his leading foot before tightening his waist and thighs; his bulking arms relaxed before slashing his huge sword to the right. The huge momentum caused his body to spin as he left the ground with a light jump, becoming a rapidly rotating weapon and leaping off the ground as he tore through the sky.

The two Ghasts behind him were rushing towards his unprotected back, ready to kill this annoying ant, their sharp claws primed for battle, although the right only had one set.

A plethora of shimmering black spikes hovered on the horizon, hidden by Stella's wonderous shroud, her hand wiping away the blood across her nose as she giggled, watching as Alex looked like those things she saw as a kid, the blade bay things.

'Ah, you're so stupid but cool... Why did we meet in such a stupid way? Here Let me help you!'

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Like the sound of missiles firing from a launcher, cannonballs from a canon, Stella's modified spikes began to cascade through the sky, twirling, swaying almost like homing missiles as they arced into the air; before dropping down.

As they lunged towards Alex, the sharp black blades of death began to rain down on the zombies.

His blade tore through the raging Ghast, first slicing through his hand, the blade splitting apart his claws like those painful adverts showing a man putting his hand down the drain with a blade; the sensation of cutting bones and flesh gave Alex a slight erection; blood pumping through his body as Alex didn't care about the two zombies attacking his back.

'This is the best!'

Blood began to swirl from the Ghasts sliced body and arm as Alex released one hand from the zombie, propelling his body forward.

The Ghasts smashed his chest left arm, causing a loud crack, brushing his muscular chest instantly before Alex used the momentum from the punch against the poor Ghast. He used him as a springboard to send him flying into his ally's claws.

In contrast, Alex shot in the opposite direction towards the door, rolling several times as blood began to leak from his lips, his red eyes watching as several black blades began to rain down a moment later.

Thud!Thud!Thud!

The ground shook as Stella managed to wound them severely, each spike cutting through their twisted and powerful muscle; her skills were clearly beyond anything Alex could have imagined when he truly realised that not forcibly sleeping with her was the best choice he could make so far.

"Hah.... fuck I'm all slashed up..." Alex tried to gather his tired breath, the sore bones and muscles causing him to groan as he stood up, as the moment the two Ghasts touched their companion, an amusing thing happened.

Swoosh!

Two bloody black lances shot into the sky, like torpedos from a u-boat, bursting through their chests but missing their hearts.

"Grrah!"

A huge white light began to flood Stella and Alex as the central Ghast was dead; his body was ripped apart by both the claws of his allies and Alex using "Blood Lance" with its mottled black blood.

"Hahaha! We did it; got one!" Stella jumped up and down, some of her mana restored, but her nose still leaked a trail of blood as her mantle showed some small holes and was thinner than before.

Clang!

Alex held out the nodachi and dropped it to the ground, his arms taking the basic Muay Thai stance, his eyes locked onto the Ghast with only one arm and blunted claws, its fearsome green eyes looking only at him, its bloody muscles slowly repairing as the hulking giant stepped forwards towards him.

Step by step, they began to accelerate towards each other; Alex slightly bounced, still fresh and with a wide grin, despite his blood sides and broken ribs.

The other was heading for Stella, its body in a worse state as black blood leaked from his popped right eye, looking at her with a grim and nasty gaze.

"Huge tits. Can you manage to fight him alone? If you win, how about I kiss you? Hahahaha!" Alex roared as he approached the huge monster more than a head taller; its claws retracted as it fired a cannon-like jab towards Alex's face faster than a normal human could blink.

Alex tilted his head, but the sheer force of the punch caused the air to tear open his cheek, making his mouth look like the slit-mouthed woman in horror tales; his hair was trimmed before his eyes widened, landing a series of powerful jabs into the Ghasts stomach, his eyes filled with pleasure as the warm crunch, squishy sensation of crushing and tenderising the Ghasts chest was euphoric.

"Who wants your fucking kiss!! Kiss my ass!" Stella wasn't in the mood to act meek as she could only use her agile body to sway and sidestep the huge ghoul's aggressive attacks, silver and white claws slicing through her hair, almost tearing her wings.

'Fuck this guy, fuck men! Damn, bastard... Better be a good kiss!'

Each time she took a step, a shadowy black spike would shoot from the ground, stabbing the Ghasts legs and causing a small bloody hole, slowing its movements.

Gradually, she began to accelerate her speed; circling its back, she tried to use her "Illusory Gaze" and "Amorous Gaze" to trick the Ghast as it caused the Ghast to keep striking the space she was in a moment earlier and sometimes delayed its attack.

Flutter!

Stella began to float in the air, her beautiful and sleek wings flapping slowly as she watched the Ghast looking around, trying to find her with its blazing green eyes.

historical

"Ahh~ dance around, little doggy!"

The night sky began to illuminate with the rising sun; revealing why she was constantly bleeding from her nose; in the sky were more than 40 black spikes, all swirling around her flying body; like they were welcoming their dark queen of lust and seduction.

Her arm pushed forward, signalling the end of the Ghast, penetrating and tearing him apart with light swish cheese; her lips curved into a twisted smile, licking her red lips as she felt a sense of sexual excitement from killing with her shadow magic.

Stella tilted her head, almost falling from the sky, as she saw Alex fighting the final Ghast, blow for blow; like a boxing match, he was wailing his fists into the zombie's head and seemed to be aiming for a knockout blow of some kind.

'His body is in tatters; why isn't he using the sword? What is that smile? Your nose is fucking broken! Idiot!'

She felt deeply irritated as various thoughts began to contest and scramble.

'He shouldn't stumble against this kind of trash!'

'Why does he look so attractive when fighting so violently ah!? He just headbutted the zombie and bit off its ear!'

Alex was covered in bruises and battered, but he felt amazing. The skills he learned for a decade to fight and compete with humans worked on zombies; if he were normal, he might be infected by now,

Bang!

His right fist collided with the Zombies face, crushing its nose as he finally broke the fuckers nose in revenge, blocking the hook from the Ghast with his left arm, feeling it shudder as the forearm was already dark blue.

Suddenly something happened that stopped his enjoyment.

"If you beat him in the next strike, I'll kiss you myself!"

Tilting his body to dodge the Ghasts violent lung, grabbing the bloody mass of what should be an "arm" with his left hand as Alex looked at the Ghast, not as a zombie but rather like a rival or training partner.

"Sorry, Ghast, I can't afford to get hurt anymore." A tone as if he had lost, as if it was over.

Black blades began to grow from his right hand; the Ghast tried to lean forward and bite at Alex as it struggled to move its arm, but each of Alex's blows was designed to destroy the muscle of this hulking muscle-type zombie.

Now it could probably only use half of its 30+ strength as the black claws flashed, piercing through the broken lower jaw of the Ghast, penetrating its brainstem as it stopped struggling and stooped to the ground.

'It felt good to test myself against an equal opponent; I must learn!' Alex thought as he watched the succubus descending slowly and falling against his chest.

Although it looked easy, they only won by the skin of their teeth.

Stella could barely keep her eyes open, her willpower now 2 as she looked up to the man she loathed earlier tonight.

Still, she didn't like him, but he was a little cool, at least he was right now.

Alex began to feel the white light washing over them; a sudden warm sensation pressing against his lips, like a soft peck as Stell's plump red lips kissed him lightly, her eyes slowly opening to meet his; thankful in her heart that turned green again before she darted away with her flapping wings and a light blush.

It improves the owner's charm when speaking with others, making them less hostile.

It will NOT make them love you instantly; the boost is minor and would make Hatred become disliked instead.

While in a daze, the gate began to open, revealing a bright skyline; several wooden buildings. The glaring light was almost too much for Alex to look at for a moment as suddenly, a soft hand grasped his, pulling him inside with a cheerful hum and giggle.
