Dread Sovereign: Monster Girl Harem-Chapter 211 30: Daemon
[Zentia POV]
A beautiful woman with olive skin, eyes golden like the sun and smooth, silky black hair dancing in the wind as she held her magi-phone with a concerned look, speaking passionately.
"Dad, the mist is getting so bad. Are you sure you cannot help? I don't want him to get hurt!"
In response, "Zenty... Dad wants to help, but your mother..."
A helpless voice that was deep and attractive—if you asked Zentia, then Raven's voice was sexier and cooler, but her mother Mel'Zeth would beat her ass and say her father was the best.
"But what!?"
"Mother is stupid. Push her into bed, and she'd say yes to anything!"
Zentia gave a bitter smile because the image was horrid. However, she was angry so her mother could get lost!
"She said the cute boy you chose seems capable, and she wants to see him solve the situation himself... Also, don't speak about your mother like that! She's just a little slow, not stupid!"
Zentia held the phone tight, biting her lips as if she didn't want to do something...
"But daddy~ Raven is fighting all alone. Can't you help him a little~ he's the father of your future grandaughter's. Hehe."
The milky voice was completely different to her harsh, cringing face as she used her baby voice to cheat her father.
This was how she came to another world in the first place, saying she didn't want to study in the Ice Phoenix Empire with her second mother, Odette.
Her dad was a weak man to the women he loved, and another thing she noticed in the past chats was, for the first time. He didn't reject a male, rather...
Vincent seemed happy to have a son-in-law like Raven and constantly asked her to bring him home when drunk.
So she used all her tricks!
"Honey... Don't use that cute voice—you know dad can't fight against you and your sister's when you use that voice."
Vincent seemed a little troubled before sighing and clicking his tongue. "Zentia, I won't help in a big way because the man you love is probably stronger than you think."
"Eh?"
"Ah, not long, and he will surpass your dad... It's frustrating, but he's like a damn walking tank!"
"How can he be so big and so fast-moving! It's unfair—Dad used to feel cool, muscular and manly... but I am so small compared to your husband. What if all my single daughters fall for him!?"
Zentia almost mentioned seeing him in bed and managed to stop herself.
If it were her mother, though, they would gossip about this for hours and in the end, her mother admitted defeat that Raven was bigger.
Then cut her allowance for being a cheeky slut.
"Mmmm! Dad is the best~ hehe, even if it's just a push or clue. I love you, Dad!"
She then lowered the phone and began to squeal in delight, twirling around—although it might make Raven feel uncomfortable, Zentia knew more than a normal resident due to her family.
About Daemon's, that was.
"Ah... Zen? Zentia? Is that it... you... Where is the love if you put down the phone when done with me!?"
*Click*
Zentia put down the phone before returning to the meeting room that Raven's women and potential wives used.
"Oh! Zentia, how did it go?" Lilith asked, eating some strange snack with a sour dip.
"Mmmm, victory!"
"Really!? Good! Let's get ready to enter the dungeon ourselves, then!"
Miriam was the most pumped up because she started going into the dungeon—her skin became firmer and younger as she felt much more youthful.
This was how the women behind Raven all helped him secretly using whatever they could, be it family, money or favours from friends.
None of them slacked off, especially the ones yet to get pregnant or sleep with him like Evelyn and her chimaera group.

Meanwhile...
Raven's axe tore apart a huge black creature, the flesh on its body like laffy toffy sticky and stretched, making it hard to land a killing blow while the monster's claws were sharp and could elongate, causing many wounds on Raven's body.
Yet his regeneration quickly healed them.
Raven was laughing insanely, killing dozens of creatures before his mind became clouded, and his thoughts changed from worrying about Emily and Nenerana... To endless destruction...
With each kill, he absorbed their energy, becoming stronger.
It was different from his usual of gathering the purple aura inside himself; this was enhancing his body directly—the horns growing from his head became sharper and more robust, his thick skin and black scales became sturdier and covered more of his body, and the strange wings on his back formed like those of a gryphon.
Now, a second pair of devil-like wings appeared.
*Crunch!*
His axe finally crushed through the spongey layer of flesh from the monster, causing the creature to die instantly.
Raven looked around at the dozens of dead creatures lying around his bloodied body, smiling as he licked his bloody axe before absorbing all the corpses into his body.
His muscles and bones grew stronger and tougher, and the strange purple veins covering them pulsated violently while releasing steam as if burning something toxic from within...
Raven laughed as his sanity returned; however, his body felt different as he stood in the middle of the forest filled with green grass, vibrant colours and lush, beautiful flowers...
Slowly, the beauty returned, but it was not like he was healing it...
To anyone who could see, Raven seemed to be absorbing the corruption and vile things into his body so the forest could live.
Back at the entrance of the dungeon, two eyes were watching.
The two trees especially saw this, their roots trembling with sorrow as his bloody body healed from the wounds, only to move forward again and fight these monsters without care.
"Why is he doing this...? Does he think he must take revenge for me...?" Nenerana cried as Emily touched her bark and sap while wrapping her leaves around her mother, consoling her while watching Raven fight these dark creatures, the corruption entering his body...
"I think he just wants to make our forest pretty again. Can you feel his gentle heart? There is no room for pain or regret. His current feelings are nothing but his love for us... Both the humanoid and Tree versions of us." Emily whispered while crying sap herself, wiping Nenerana's tears.
"Is it okay for him to absorb this much evil...? Will he not turn evil?" Nenerana asked, worried for Raven's safety; she didn't want her love to become evil, but Emily shook her leaves before caressing Nenerana's bark gently.
"Our husband is strong... Don't forget he saved us and many girls from the dark world that rejected them... Also, can we gently bring him back with our warm and loving embrace if he does?" Emily replied with a smile as Nenerana gasped and focused, seeming to have lacked her daughter's devotion.
She felt how Raven cared for them so much, allowing her to suddenly bloom with the most beautiful pink flowers around her trunk.
Nene now understood how deep his love was; it made her tree shake in excitement, causing fruits to grow and flowers to burst into a vibrant bloom as her sap dripped onto the ground...
Emily giggled upon seeing Nenerana blush—her sap dripped nonstop as her tree turned into a beautiful cherry blossom tree with the scent of freshly picked strawberries and luscious apples hanging from her branches.
"He will be in for a tough life, making Mother fall so hard..."
Raven didn't rush forward anymore.
Instead, he seemed to be ensuring all the dirty pollution and corruption was gone from the places he cleared. Each tree and bush was searched with his neon blue eyes shining bright to avoid missing anything.
"It seems the first section of the dungeon is clean. Let's head to the next one... I seem to have improved greatly."

'Well, there could be more improvements. I haven't been cultivating enough recently, or rather, the women around me don't have enough energy...'
He looked towards the sky, seeing the fake moon with a wry smile.
'Only Zeon, Nene and Claudina could give the energy he needed, as Eva would likely remain in hell for some time.'
Raven stretched his muscular body, feeling a sense of comfort and soreness as he walked towards another pathway in the forest while whistling a song Emily taught him.
However, he noticed the colourful flowers following behind him as his footsteps brought vitality everywhere, restoring the forest to a lush greenery and lively place.
"Are you both following me...? I thought you couldn't leave?" Raven questioned, but there was no response, only the gently dancing flowers and the sweet scent they emitted.
'I guess they just want to express their support. Thank you, it means a lot.'
With a loud thud, he swung his axe over his shoulder before stepping forward and looking at the looming darkness.
He might have helped the first section, but the entire dungeon was massive, and there was no chance he could even clear a small percentage tonight.
But it was a start.
To make their dungeon clean and improve his strength.
