Harem Tournament of Champions-Chapter 17 Bring Her Over

"Alta halt!" Hisha called out in a loud voice.

Cough!

Cough!

He blew on the cloud of dust that permeated the room.

Bringing his hand out, he tried to appeal to her.

Her eyes glared at him for a while as she tried to recognize him from a distance, her chest heaving.

"My lord? You came for me?" She squealed in delight, immediately changing her demeanor to a happy-go-lucky female.

[Exp+3]

'What the heck is wrong with this succubus?!' Hisha sneered, glad that he had not established a bond in his heart.

She would need a lot of character development if she wanted to win his heart. What she had done had crossed the borderline of jealousy and strife. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

Rushing to his side, she latched her hand onto his neck. "Darling!"

[Exp+3]

Hisha cringed at the words that she had whispered in his ears. This wasn't the time for these kinds of words.

"How could you kill thoughtlessly?! You were meant to be sleeping goddamnit!!" He hissed in anger.

Alta blinked several times in confusion, it was an instinct behavior that had come over her, the thirst for power, the need to display how powerful she was and find a worthy opponent for her high drive had forced her to be drawn to the meretrix one.

The only one she could find who had a similar drive as she was Solara, on the other hand, was hiding what she truly was and that had set her anger ablaze.

'Kill all who are weak to draw out her true power.' These were the words that resounded in Alta's head at the time.

"I'm hurt by what you have done. When you have understood how wrong you were, then you can approach me!" He snapped, letting out a sigh of disappointment.

Alta was stunned by his words causing tears to brim in her eyes, "but... but..."

Ignoring her flimsy excuse of reaching out to his goodwill, he walked further away from her.

His eyes searched for the others in the meretrix one, "are you all alright? Please be alright."

Not minding being followed from behind by Alta, he pressed forward in search of them amidst the cloud of dust.

He paused the moment he felt something elevated under his feet. Slowly looking below, he gritted his teeth to curtail the scream he had wanted to let out.

[Act unfazed, you can't be bothered by the sight! Not ever!]

HTC warned, that any slight sign of weakness coming from him would only make Alta try to gain control of his mind.

Exhaling, he took a step over the severed body.

Alta tagging along closely.

"My lord?" Solara's voice called out, squinting her eyes at the approaching figure.

Hisha's heart warmed up when he heard her voice, 'she's alive.'

Once the dust has settled, Hisha's heart is hurt by the mere sight of his harem.

Zui was unconscious and assisted by the remaining harem who all looked pitiful and scared.

They gasped in fear at the sight of Alta, "my lord, the demoness is behind you!" One of them called out in worry.

'I'm not blind.' Hisha facepalmed at the sound of the warning.

Solara snarled, and a warm orange aura outlined her curves. She couldn't understand why the demoness was acting docile in front of Hisha.

Taking a defensive stance in front of the others, Solara prepared to attack if she got any tricks up her sleeve.

"What is she doing here?" She sneered at Alta.

"Hmph!" Alta harrumphed, rolling her eyes, she held back a devilish smirk.

Hisha looked to his side and noticed the glare Alta had on Solara. This brought back bad memories of Kritz and Rean.

"No!" He warned. There would be no bloodshed while he was present.

Alta whined, pouting in protest.

Solara's mouth gaped open at the sight, this wasn't the same crazy demoness that had rained razor-sharp feathers and attacked when they were vulnerable.

She looked to Hisha for an explanation. If this was some contest that they were meant to be prepared for, she was sure as hell not going to take that.

"My lord, could you please explain what's going on?" She said through gritted teeth, trying her best to stay calm as she watched how Alta's hand was all over his chest.

Hisha slapped Alta's hands away, slightly irritated by her action. He had still not forgiven her for what she had done, yet she was pretending like everything was alright?

"She's one of the harems." He coughed out.

'A crazy harem that's weirdly devoted to me.' He added in his thoughts.

"What?!" The others behind Solara gasped in shock, refusing to believe a monster was let in with them.

They were meant to coexist and only prove their worth in the arena and their method of pleasing their lord, not get ambushed in a place meant to be for rest and have some fun.

Alta waved at them like she had known them for centuries. Her eyes switched from a blazing glow to its bright yellow as if warning them to behave for their sake. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

The others flinched and went silent. They decided to focus their efforts on resuscitating Zui. She had been a big help in keeping the majority of them safe.

Hisha's attention was finally drawn to the reason they had flocked together. "Bring her over."

All of meretrix one looked at one another, they were skeptical about if that was a good idea with Alta lurking around him.

Solara gave a hard long glare at Alta before nodding her head. "Our Lord can handle this. He should be in the best position to help." She gave a slight bow and made way for the others to go along with his words.

Hisha couldn't wait for them to lift her to him, not while he had an ability that could do that conveniently.

[Ability: Telekinesis]

They all gasped and let go of Zui when they felt a force pulling Zui to Hisha. She hovered a few inches away from the floor as Hisha stared at her furrowed brows which told of the struggle she went through.

He had known her as meretrix 01-1, it was best to know her by name if he was ever going to get involved with her.

'HTC character stats of meretrix 01-1'

[Name: Zui Mu]

[Height: 167cm]

[Position: Witch–High priestess]

'A witch?' Hisha did a double-take on the sort of people he had as his harem.

From the looks of it, she had drained the majority of her Sux.

'HTC is there a possibility that I had replicated–'

[There are hundreds of abilities at your disposal and you think that simple ability wasn't included?]

HTC questioned with a scoff.

'Thank you for clarifying, HTC! That was super helpful.' He hissed in his thoughts, temporarily forgetting the attitude of his system.

[Ability: Heal]
