Chapter 264: Peaceful Aftermath

Staring at Boss, I didn't even need to remove my sword from his chest as the miasma quickly spread to the rest of his body, slowly turning him into dust that was carried off into the wind; it didn't even take a full minute before he had mostly vanished, only the bottom half of his legs remained.

'Freaky.' Thought Alexander lightly as he gazed at Boss's legs while lowering his sword and plopping onto the ground.

With the battle finally reaching its end, I lay sprawled on the ground in a star, using this chance to peacefully regain my mana after using that skill since it had consumed roughly an eighth of my mana reserves, and considering I had less than half from before we had even arrived because I didn't get chance to rest the first time, I was pretty low on mana.

'All this just help a woman I'm trying to court; what was that word woman used in my past life? Am I a simp?' Thought Alexander with a wry smile as he gazed into the clear sky, only to release a deep sigh while slowly standing up.

Standing up, I approached Vanye, who was lying on the ground, heavily wounded from her earlier battle with Boss; though, adding to the fact she was mana exhausted, it was impressive she was still conscious.

"You're not going to hate me for that as well, are you?" Asked Alexander lightly as he sat beside Vanye while lifting her head onto her lap, causing her to silently stare at him before eventually shaking her head.

Feeling my face twitch as to why it took her so long to reply as if she was seriously thinking, I reached into my space pouch and grabbed a vial of ichor before feeding it to Vanye, whose wounds began to rapidly heal while some color returned to her pale face; however, while my ichor could head wounds and break curses, it couldn't recover mana, so there was nothing to do there, though at least she was no longer in pain, just really exhausted.

"Thanks." "Anytime." Said Vanye and Alexander, respectively, as they gazed at each other while the former flashed a faint smile.

Removing Vanye's helmet, I gazed at her beautiful face for the second time, and coupled with her smile, it was honestly hard to find a woman who could compete when it came to her beauty.

'Oh, I love Yuki, Michelle, Lazuli, Matser, Zartha, and Trina, but they even lack a little when compared to Vanye; the beauty of an Elf is unfair. Objectively speaking, of course! All my women are equally beautiful in my eyes.' Thought Alexander lightly as he whistled in awe while gazing at the faintly smiling Vanye, her long red hair flowing in the end, enhancing the beauty of her red eyes.

'Eh, you love us, Master!?' Remarked Trina with sparkling eyes as she clutched her hands together and gazed into the sky while Zartha raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, I love you two, just not romantically like my woman; the love is familial… Unless Zartha wants to tell me how I can get her a real body." Said Alexander with a faint smile as he closed his eyes and focused on his heart and brain, causing him to appear within Trina and Zartha's personal dimension, standing directly opposite of them.

"C'mon, Zartha; no need to keep the truth hidden from me. One of these days, I'll find a way, and then the two of us will live happily ever after." Added Alexander with a cheeky smile as he picked Zartha up by her waist before spinning in a circle, prompting her to stare coldly at him in disgust.

"It simply isn't possible, Master; I'm the sword, and without me, the sword will cease to exist. Unless you wish to give up one of your precious swords, I can never have a physical body." Stated Zartha calmly despite her facial expression, causing Alexander to sigh as he gently set her down.

"Damn, I really do love you two as swords… But I must admit, I might love you better as a real woman; it's so unfair that you have such a lascivious body, and it can't be properly loved." Said Alexander softly with a playful smirk as he openly ogled Zartha's voluptuous body that could rival Lily's, only for Trina to suddenly get in between them.

"What about me, Master?" Said Trina with an eager smile as she puffed out her near-non-existent chest, only for Alexander's figure to suddenly vanish.

'Sorry Trina, you just look too much like a child; I would think you're friends with Chloe.' Said Alexander lightly as he opened his eyes, having returned to the real world while Trina pouted.

Anyways, ignoring my pouting sword, I turned and glanced at Lazuli, who was approaching us with Vanimo beside her, who swiftly began running towards us, or mainly Vanye.

"Vanye!" Yelled Vanimo with a happy smile as he leaped onto Vanye, causing her to exhale a sharp breath while suppressing her grunts.

"I-I'm fine, Vanimo, no need to yell." Said Vanye softly as Vanimo tightly hugged her, preventing the use of her arms.

Figuring the two siblings should have their little alone time, I gently laid Vanye on the ground and backed away, approaching Lazuli while we watched the two from a distance.

"Would you like that hug now?" "Hmm, would you be opposed to a little something more than a hug?" Asked Lazuli and Alexander, respectively, as the latter faintly smirked while pointing to an undamaged tent.

Grabbing Lazuli's hand before she could respond, I led us to the empty tent, which had a few beds in it, unironically perfect for what we were about to do.

"Let me ser-" Said Lazuli as she lowered her knees only for Alexander to toss her onto the bed while he dropped to his knees.

Pulling Lazuli close to me, I pulled her pants down and spread her legs as I took a whiff of her leaking womanhood before practically stuffing my face into her crotch.

"Since you're always using your mouth, let me return the favor." Said Alexander with a smirk as he gripped Lazuli's thighs while lapping her dripping vagina, causing her to softly moan in pleasure, quickly filling the tent with a womanly smell.

After pleasuring Lazuli for thirty or so minutes, we eventually regrouped with the V siblings and promptly left the encampment, though not without burning everything; after all, I had no idea where my blood had spilled, so it was best to just leave no trace, of anything.

Currently, the four of us were walking through the forest, heading away from the burnt camp, which had been reduced to ashes.

"Well, that was an eventful last couple of days." Said Alexander lightly as he walked beside Vanye and Vanimo, his arm wrapped around Lazuli's shoulders, pulling her slightly into his embrace.

"That is one to put it, Alex." Said Vanye calmly as she side-glanced at Alexander, who chuckled before nodding in agreement.

"Well, at least in the end, everything turned out okay… For us, at least." Remarked Vanimo lightly with an awkward smile as he rubbed his head, only for Vanye to frown.

"What about our house?" "O-Oh, I-I forgot about that. Um, a-at least we still have each other? Besides, if you think about it, losing that house is a small price to pay for you being freed of that curse." Said Vanye and Vanimo, respectively, as the latter sheepishly smiled, only for the former to sigh at his optimistic words.

"I can help rebuild if you want since I know Vanye will end up doing all the heavy lifting; I can't let a beautiful woman like her do all the manual labor by herself." Stated Alexander as he glanced between Vanye and Vanimo, only to wink at the former, causing her to stare blankly at him.

"Ho, it's very bold of you to flirt with my sister while another woman hugs your side, Alex." Said Vanimo with a faint smirk as he looked at Alexander, who confidently smiled in response.

"I can't expect to have a woman fall in love with me if she thinks I'm hiding her from my other woman." Remarked Alexander with a smile and a confident gaze as he glanced at Vanimo before winking at Vanye.

"Ho, you hear that, Vanye; what must you say for yourself? I personally think Alex has shown himself to be a rather respectful and upstanding man." Asked Vanimo as he glanced at Vanye while winking at Alexander, who gave him a thumbs up.

"Are you being serious, Vanimo?" "W-What? I-it's the first time I've ever seen a man show a romantic interest in you; they all lose interest in you when they know about your body. I didn't want the chance to slip away." Stated Vane and Vanimo, respectively, as the former narrowed her eyes at the latter, who firmly stood his ground.

"It would be best to let the chance slip away." Said Lazuli lightly as she emotionlessly glanced at Vanye, who snorted before glancing at Alexander, prompting him to flick his shoulder-length white hair behind him.

"I've no interest in a romantic relationship, not until I've cured my Vanimo's curse; that was the whole reason why I was a part of the Yemen mercenaries." Stated Vanye as she shook her head, her words causing Alexander to grin as he pointed at Vanimo.

"Oh, his curse has long since been lifted; remember that drink you all had when I cocked dinner? That was my blood. Ever since then, the curse that plagued Vanimo has been broken." Stated Alexander proudly as he glanced between Vanye and Vanimo, his words causing them to widen their faces while she intently stared at him.
