Dread Sovereign: Monster Girl Harem

Chapter 174 173: The Day Before The End





Raven stood at the end of a higher-level dungeon, his body filled with deep wounds that rapidly healed due to his maxed-out Manticore heart skill.

Now even able to repair severed limbs as he slowly felt a painful itch, his fingers restored to their glory as he clenched them to make sure they moved correctly. Tomorrow he would be fighting Zeon, the dragon and feel a sense of exhaustion; tonight, he would spend a wonderful time with Philis, Lilith and Emily so that they could soothe him after the day's fighting.

Losing interest in the dungeon beneath him and not wanting to be in a dungeon, Raven flew out of the exit as he wanted to see the faces of the women he loved and to spend the night relaxing while eating a good meal.

Outside, the sun shined, and the sky was bright.

He quickly changed to his casual suit and left the dungeon, walking towards the city centre and waiting for a bus, the old worn stop reminding him of the tasks he needed to finish, like cleaning the buildings and adding his enchantments for increased defence.

Raven sat on a broken seat, looking up at the bright sunny sky and thinking of the people he loved, his mind going over the women as a sense of tiredness filled him.

Phylis was carrying his child-like Lilith, and both needed emotional and physical support. At the same time, Emily was a cute girl who always wanted his attention and needed him as much as they did.

A bus quickly arrived with an open top, its metal parts dented and broken, the wheels filled with scratches as it looked old. The windows were painted with black paint, the glass having long since been taken to help house building.

Raven paid his coins and sat in the bus's rear, holding the metal hand railing while leaning to the window.

Raven enjoyed watching the large, tall skyscrapers that passed through, the large screens showing images and advertisements in many bright colours and sizes, and his mind thought back to the days he lived as a normal office worker instead of an adventurer. 'This bus is worse than the old man's; I wonder if it's some kind of private bus.' 

With his mind deep in thought and watching the skyscrapers, his sight caught the screen of a shopping centre filled with bright images.

"The adventurer's union announces a dungeon tournament!" A man said loudly from the screen; Raven's mind was now attracted as the bus moved away, the man's voice slowly growing distant. 'A dungeon tournament? Never seen one; this world has strange names for things sometimes.'

The bus stopped, and people left the open-top vehicle.

A person walked close and sat, making him notice that another four were left, all young and female adventurers. Raven paid more attention as he liked female adventurers whose small stature, cute voices and large, muscular asses he wanted to play with. 'Four attractive women, not bad; they may be cute and are a great way to end the day.'

'They seem to be adventurers too, and those eyes look at me as if I'm a snack,' Raven thought. 'The world is a strange place sometimes. Maybe I should give them a go...' However, he shook his head; this was merely the temptations of his mind and the hidden fear that he might die tomorrow speaking. 

'I cannot fall from the path and stumble here.'

The bus slowly went by the busy city centre buildings, and the image from the large screen continued. "Adventurers, have you always wanted to fight against each other, earn a large amount of money and use the many gifts prepared for the champions?!" The man shouted in a deep and excited voice. "Don't miss the chance of a lifetime, a worldwide dungeon tournament organised by the Adventurer's Union!"

A female's voice then appeared. "The world is currently in a state of chaos. Humans, dwarves, beasts and elves have formed new, powerful countries, and every country prepares for war. But the Adventurer's Union will bring peace to the people, organising this global event to help adventurers become stronger. We will show the world we can change this fate together and win back our future. Join the adventurer's union and register for the dungeon tournament!"

'A worldwide dungeon tournament... What is a global dungeon tournament?' Raven thought, the bus moving through the city centre.

Everything seemed to get grander as they continued; he began to remember the strange rumours of a cult that worshipped the dungeons wanting to bring their overlords into this world. 'Is there more happening in secret... That I have no idea what is happening?'

Finally, the bus reached his stop, and as he walked off, those female adventurers began to whistle and speak lewd compliments about him, causing him to smirk, realising they were checking him out just as much. 'Damn, maybe I should have taken them...'

'Or maybe not; they are young and may have partners...' Raven thought.

Raven continued walking, paying no attention to the four women who now whispered amongst themselves.

'The world is getting crazier. The day after tomorrow, I fight Zeon, and now this worldwide dungeon event...'

While walking through a quiet street, Raven began thinking of the best action. 'For now, I need to find out about this event and gather information. But let's have someone else do that, maybe Miriam or Zestria?'

'Afterwards, I can plan for tomorrow and ask Emily and Lilith for help.'

Raven continued walking towards his house, his mind thinking about everything as his worries grew.

'Why do I feel so worried... The last time I felt like this was when my boss announced a work event that was a total pain because Philis was sick and needed my care...'

Raven recalled the meeting room he had been in with his boss; many had been forced to attend, and the air was filled with boredom.

He began to reflect a lot on his life today. However, he did all possible to reach a higher level than he could ever imagine, and his guild rank was currently flashing on his identification, meaning he could upgrade. Roughly to the C Rank right now.

'Rank C is high; however, it feels low when I compare myself to Zeon. She is still far above me, and the feeling of being an ant compared to an elephant is heavy. My body is weak, and she can block and dodge many of my attacks...'

'That dragon has many years of experience and is strong and fast; her magic and skills are more powerful and far beyond mine.'

'She is not an opponent I can fight against alone without a proper plan... If I go in without a plan, I will die... Or rather become her living dildo to fertilise her eggs...'

Raven reached his door; today's familiar apartment would be the last time they used it as their move was planned to occur during his fight with Zeon and the day after. 

*Clack* 

When the door opened, he looked at the beautiful sight of three women, all wearing nothing but a simple apron, Philis and Lilith's breasts spilling from the sides. At the same time, Emily was more modest, but her vines were sly and pulled the small cloth higher, revealing her green garden to entice him her way.

"Welcome home, Husband."

"Welcome back, darling."

"Honey, I missed you!"

"Today, we cooked your favourite meal."

"Now come; we will give you a relaxing massage."

"Yes, you must be so tired. So, please let us take care of you."

"Today is the final day in this apartment, and tomorrow we are moving into our new mansion."

"Hahaha, the best thing is we can play in the large pool-sized bath with a fountain."

"Also, the bed is enormous, large enough for all of us to play, and I can grow a new plant to keep us going for hours."

The girls spoke in turn as they moved forward, gently hugging his body while removing his suit jacket, undercoat, and shirt and guiding him towards the dining room, filled with candles, soft ambient music... his favourite composer and a table filled with all his favourite dishes.

At this moment... he felt his heart throb with a powerful and unwilling beat. 

'I must survive; I must win all for the smiles of these women...'

Raven always felt his mind was strange, he never had a certain thing or feeling, and thus, his actions and life just followed the stream, doing what others asked or seemed to be the right thing.

But right now, the thing he wanted to do wasn't eat...

His body rushed forward and grabbed the three women, his arms tightly holding them against his chest, each shocked momentarily before he kissed them individually.

Raven gave each girl special attention and ensured his kiss lasted enough for them to feel how much he loved them.

After that, he then spoke in a determined tone. "Today is the last day in this apartment, and tomorrow we have an important battle."

"Our new mansion will be the home we make our children in; I want you all to think of the rooms, design and furnishings and do everything to make it a comfortable place. But most importantly, I want you all to remember no matter what, you are my wife, and I am your husband. We will have a happy family together!"

Raven's eyes glowed with a powerful determination, the light making the women's bodies shudder as they could not contain their happiness, their tears falling.

At this moment, he felt a sudden feeling of Harmony, unity... these three women... all of them were more precious to him than the rest of the world. He would gladly abandon all others to save them or make them happy.

This was his balance, his unity. The gate of Harmony's door opened with a loud crack. 

But what surprised him was the current scene in the kitchen of them all hugging... became the avatars and image for the [Pillar of Harmony], an extra thick pillar with all three women hugging him.
