Once again imitating a pancake, I felt my body being smashed to the ground. A split second later, the lights went out and I saw an interesting scene. Zachary Lynch was reading what looked like a pocket paperback.
And all seven of my girls were sleeping in rather uncomfortable positions.
As soone who had personally tried to duel the Nightmare, I could understand. The lines between illusion and reality beca blurred when you had to deal with this fucker. The Siren's had uncomfortable expressions, but none of them were injured.
Zach, noticing my arrival, stood up as he put down his book.
"Did you get your answer, bastard?"
"I did. Zach, may I ask what your reason is? Why do you fight?"
The man in front of adjusted his glasses as he looked at in silence.
"I fight so that soone will keep David company."
"I see. Thank you for telling ."
So his reason was tied to David, whether it was brotherly loyalty, affection, or responsibility, I didn't care. What struck was that Zach's reason was tied to a Revenant. That ant that until David died, the Nightmare would never lose his reason.
It was kind of romantic in a way. Between lovers or brothers or family. But the mont those bonds were broken, you got people like Xander.
"I'm surprised you didn't attack for touching your precious harem bastard. What happened to your fangs?"
"Give a break Zach, I just got back from fighting two Specters. I don't want to fight another one if I can help it."
"I see, are they well?"
Hearing the warmth in Zach's voice, it seed he knew which Specters I was referring to.
"I suppose? They seed alive, at least."
"Is that so? That's probably for the best."
Zach headed for the door. Before he left, however, he turned back and gave a warning.
"Bastard. Your harem is fucking crazy. I had to sedate them because almost all of them tried to kill themselves. Three of them even tried to use {Soul Breaker}, for fuck's sake! Put a baby in them so they have sothing else to live for!"
Hearing his words, I couldn't help but chuckle in response.
"I will. Thank you Zach. For everything."
"..." The Nightmare made a surprised face at my words. Then he scoffed and promptly left.
For the mont, only my harem and I remained in the room. I invoked death resonance.
{My beloved kindred, the won who own my heart. Please awaken. I have returned.}
My words caused the Sirens to all rouse from their slumber. The mont they awoke, two figures imdiately ran towards .
"DAAARRRRLLIIIIINNNGGG!!!" cried my beautiful Italian. She threw herself into my arms and sobbed loudly.
Another figure was not as loud but curled up in my embrace. Her whispers were soft, but the emotion they radiated bliss.
"Possum. Possum. Possum."
I hugged them both and kissed their heads.
"I'm back, Jo. Robyn."
A little later, a voluptuous woman threw herself on top of us. Jo quickly made room and allowed Bella to nestle into my chest.
She pounded her fist into my chest like a child throwing a tantrum.
"BASTARD! FUCKER! ASSHOLE! I am so glad. Sniff. I'm so glad you're okay..."
Tears and curses ca out of her, but I knew how relieved she was at my return.
A few more figures ca forward.
"Husband, you are in big trouble." Jas declared, holding back tears.
"Darling, I demand to be compensated for this." Lilly remarked with teary eyes.
"Anata. Please don't leave behind..." Aki said crest fallen.
I could only smile at the girls' words. The last Siren stomped towards and picked up by the collar like a doll. Liv then delivered a powerful punch to my left cheek.
Knowing this was my punishnt, I took the hit without {Withstand} and {Endure}. Surprised to see my face turning purple from the blow, Liv bit her lip before shouting.
"My love, how could you suddenly vanish like that?! We didn't know where you were! My heart. It hurts. When I thought you were gone, even breathing felt like pure torture! This is all your fault!
"WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH THIS PAIN?! HOW WILL I SURVIVE WITHOUT YOU NOW?!"
The rest of the Sirens remained silent, as if in solidarity with Liv's words. I knew this was the natural consequence of falling in love. I smiled at the angry northerner and gently clasped her hands.
"Liv, my love. I am sorry. Your man is not very smart. I don't know the answer to your questions. But I do know that I am the sa. If sothing happened to you or the Sirens, I would go crazy.
I never wanted to do this on purpose, please believe ."
The Northerner lowered to the ground as tears stread down her cheeks.
"I was so afraid, my love. More than when the Dead broke through the North. I..."
Not willing to let her continue, I pulled her to and forced her lips to mine. With my kiss, I showered my Northerner with affection. When we parted, her eyes had a dreamy expression, as if she was intoxicated.
I then beckoned to the other Sirens. Without a word they all similarly ran into my arms. While there was much to discuss, I allowed my girls to vent their frustrations. Everyone was crying. So I pampered them in response.
While I was sure they were all curious as to where I had disappeared to, none of them asked. It was as if they had no intention to think about such things now, their only desire was to hear words of love from .
Like cats and dogs craving attention, the girls continued to behave like spoiled children. They were in constant need of kisses and hugs.
So demanded to be carried like princesses or to be told words of love. I didn't mind, as I enjoyed flirting with my won anyway.
After about an hour, the Sirens and I just stayed glued to each other. As if to make sure I was still there, they all held in their arms. They asked for all sorts of promises and favors in return for my worrying them.
As I sat on the floor, Lilly and Liv held both of my hands in theirs.
Bella and Jasmine hugged from left and right.
Robyn, sat on my lap as usual.
Aki hugged from behind. Our hearts resonated as her arms wrapped around my neck.
Jo, for so reason, snuggled up to my right leg as she closed her eyes.
I literally could not get up even if I wanted to.
Feeling horrible for what the girls had just been through, I said nothing, and just did my best to grant their wishes. I understood their fear and pain. If one of the Sirens suddenly disappeared, I knew I would be just as upset.
Zach said most of them tried to kill themselves while fighting him. The descendants in this group were Jo, Jas, Aki, and Liv. And three of them used {Soul Breaker}, whether it was because they wanted to win or because they wanted to die was hard to tell.
If it were up to , I would forbid them from using it. But I don't think I have the right to make such a request, since I couldn't even promise that sothing like today would never happen again.
