Primordial Villain With A Slave Harem-Chapter 619: Invitation

"Is she going to be okay?" I asked while watching the broken and battered body of Raika. The impact of her skydive from the clouds ruined her body.

Her right arm was bent backward at the elbow because the joint was twisted in the wrong direction, while her left hung limp thanks to a visibly dislocated shoulder.

Blood poured from her mouth and her breaths came in shallow, uneven wheezes. Bruises ran across her skin, and deep gashes along her knuckles and forearms leaked blood onto the ground.

"She’s perfectly fine, don’t worry about it. Once you bring Solace back, Raika’ll be walking within five minutes," Vex said while shrugging her shoulders dismissively.

I couldn’t help but eye the black-haired woman with respect. Her [Fist of Annihilation] was a brutal spell. If the necromancer didn’t have an artifact that automatically deployed multiple barriers around her, Raika’s strike would’ve turned her into a bloody pulp of gory mess.

"What about this one?" I asked while raising the woman in question. Back when we dove after Raika, Vex grabbed onto her fellow disciple while I scooped up this person.

The necromancer’s black robes were in tatters, barely clinging to her broken frame. Raika’s fist had obliterated her stomach, shattering ribs and rupturing organs in a single, merciless strike. Her insides were a ruined mess, evident by the mouthfuls of blood spilling from her lips in gurgling gasps. Each ragged breath sounded like it could be her last.

"Well, if you want her to live longer than half a minute, I recommend you bring Solace back with gusto," Vex replied amusedly. It was evident she didn’t care much.

I did as recommended, my Heralds and Iris came back to the underground base of the resistance.

It was nice to see Ignis being present, not betraying my trust. Ryker was still wailing on the ground, grieving her fallen teammate. The two women were no longer doing their best to cheer him up, though, because Chicken came out and evidently pushed them away.

She was left out of the attack on the lionkin settlements because Raika put her in a state of immobility. Even now, she was holding herself with difficulty, requiring two wooden crutches to move about.

"Hold yourself together. Losses are a part of the life we signed up for, "her cold voice sounded, not pained by the loss of her comrade at all. Her eyes observed me, with hatred evident in them. But she didn’t dare stare at me—a moment after, she snapped her eyes away.

I didn’t care much what they thought, but one thing was certain. I couldn’t let them walk away scott-free now that they knew about me.

The resistance base was not abandoned, the sheepkin healers and wounded units were present. To that end, Seraphiel took the two injured women there and joined the sheepkin in the healing efforts.

"This teleportation spell of yours is just ridiculous, future hubby. Imagine if you had a trained army at your beck and call, ready to be employed…" Vex murmured.

She was right, and I was already working on it. The residents of Miri Town, the little settlement I created after defeating the Wraithclaws led by Blackjack, were leveling up at a respectable pace. They were surrounded by nothing but forests teeming with monsters, so there were plenty of roaming XP packs for them to slay.

Furthermore, I was working to establish my second army, namely, the army of the damned. I needed to collect more souls before unlocking necromancy. Once that was done, it would be time to begin increasing my forces at a rapid pace.

However, after seeing the necromancer and her powers, I was no longer interested in normal necromancy. To me, dragging around smelly corpses to make skeletons or other aberrations from them did not sound overly exciting.

Instead, I was hoping my necromantic powers would amount to a different type of necromancy thanks to the soul collection business.

And, yes, even if the souls were the Goddess’ rightful property, and as such by collecting souls I was actively robbing her, I had no plans to stop.

"Let’s have the chat, future wife," I replied, not addressing her words. Despite my decision to trust her, that didn’t mean I would become an open book, willing to reveal everything there was to know about me.

After receiving her merry nod, I thought about how I should best go about it. In the end, ’that’ was the best way. "I like holding serious conversations with hot women in a nice, warm bath, so how do we feel about rejuvenating our tired bodies while we’re at it?"

"You’re getting comfortable with me..." she shook her head while giggling amusedly. After a few seconds, she came to a decision. "Fine, but don’t get any ideas."

"Don’t worry, I’m a certified gentleman." For some odd reason, my response didn’t seem to bolster her trust in me.

"What about me, mega rookie?"

"I don’t have anything against you, Ignis, but I don’t like men seeing my current or future women in the nude. Here, enjoy." After saying my piece, I created a little earth tub and filled it with water for him.

"Oh, I need an Elemental Sovereign… or whatever you are in my future missions as well," he decreed with a happy smile, grabbing the tub, and taking it to a private room.

"What about you girls?" I asked my Heralds and Iris.

"Ghosty wants Master to help wash her body!" Blossom decreed cheerily before jumping into my arms.

"… Fine with me," Ayame said while eyeing Vex with uncertainty.

"I refuse." Iris wasn’t game. Aurora and Lucille accepted my invitation.

I hadn’t yet decided what to do with the beastkin survivors who learned my secrets, so, for now, I elected to barricade off the other exits of the tunnel system with my earth manipulation abilities, and moved to the big entrance where the lionkin were pushing through back when we first came here.

Once out in the open, it was time to create something worthy of my wonderful women. I refused to toss them into a sad little tub, like I did with Ignis. They only deserved the best, and that’s exactly what I was going to give them.
