Extra's Harem: Invincibility Starts with Marriage and lots of Children-Chapter 139 - Did Kyle go mad?

"Kyle, run!" Aleriana shouted, drawing her blade in one fluid motion.

'!'

"Kurgh!" The impact sent the heavy furniture—and Kyle—skidding across the marble floor with a screech, barely escaping the lethal strike.

Her sword gleamed under the distorted light filtering through the crimson fog as she swung it diagonally at the incoming stream of blood.

But Mialthara's body was no longer solid.

The moment the blade passed through, her form unraveled into a serpentine rope of blood, coiling mid-air like a living whip and wrapping tightly around Aleriana's torso.

"Ugh!"

Crimson tendrils slithered and constricted, pinning Aleriana's arms.

Then came the spikes.

With a grotesque ripple, the blood rope bristled like a demonic porcupine, hundreds of crimson thorns erupting outward, aiming to skewer her flesh from all angles.

But Aleriana vanished.

The spikes struck only air.

A flicker of displaced shadow signaled her reappearance directly beside Olea.

Aleriana stumbled, her breathing ragged, clutching her ribs as the spatial displacement left a subtle fracture of black mist in the air.

"...Princess, are you alright?"

Olea, standing with her composure returning, narrowed her eyes. A slash of pain passed through her expression as she raised a hand to her left eye.

"Tch... I hate using this this early," she muttered, her voice trembling from the strain.

Her irises glowed with purple light again as the shadows beneath her feet rippled unnaturally as she activated her ability—her shadow dimension activated in case for an upcoming surprise attack.

From within the blood fog, Mialthara's voice emerged—no longer human, layered and guttural. "You think you can run from me? That you can hide in your tricks?"

The blood rope recoiled mid-air and twisted, forming a humanoid shape once more.

Her skin now looked like pulsating muscle dipped in black ink, her eyes molten gold in a sea of crimson.

A skeletal halo of twisted bone circled behind her, dripping blood like a bleeding crown.

'Fuck, that's why I cannot trust this idiot,' Kyle slowly rose to his feet, breath caught in his throat.

Even the air was thick—metallic, sharp, like rust and death had taken over the room.

Yet somehow, his body was adapting with eyes turning towards the skeleton, who stood amidst all this observing in confusion before Kyle looked at her and ordered, "Skully, grab that blood woman, I will feed you."

'!'

"Y...y...es," As if the offer was too alluring, the black skeleton, which had the crystal in it, lunged forward. Clearly, Mialthara ignored it, given her body would most probably let the skeleton pass through her, making her have no issue as her focus was completely on Aleriana and Olea, who were the only ones in the room who could be a threat to her.

"That's why I didn't put you on the list of potential wives, Mia, you have a screw loose," Kyle rubbed his forehead, moving while his words rang in the air, making others look at him. But before further thoughts could add something, Mialthara found that the black skeleton arrived near her.

"You think I am interested in a puny mortal—!!" Mialthara, clearly seeing the skeleton passing through her body, glared at Kyle, who dared to say something offensive. As she felt how she might have given too much freedom to this mortal, she was about to add further before suddenly feeling something getting sucked out of her.

It was vitality.

"What did you do to me!" She yelled, glaring towards Kyle as she felt it was some other trick of his, as with his head shaking, he seemed disappointed in her.

"Do you know what happens when two entities with the ability to devour vitality collide with each other—" Kyle, with a smirk tugging at his face, looked towards Mialthara, who had made such a foolish decision while he was being kind and easygoing, just was about to tell her the reason for her loss before he heard a murmur.

It was a murmur, but due to him completely focusing on the things within his domain, as he was on guard, he heard the murmur crystal clear.

"....List of potential wives?"

'Damn, my mouth,' Standing there, he gave a side glance towards Aleriana, who seemed to stand still looking at him while holding her sword.

That blank look and the sapphire eyes seemingly narrowed made him shiver from within as he realized that his slip of the tongue had just created another trouble for him.

"Ahem, so I was saying, Miss Skull can also devour vitality, no she eats it to grow stronger and you devour vitality to stay young and grow stronger, now the question is, who will win if both collide?" Kyle just put aside Aleriana intentionally, trying to postpone the bad luck's slap he got due to uttering his intentions loud and clear to have a harem.

"The one with the higher affinity," Olea uttered, her eyes glancing towards Mialthara, who stood completely blank as slowly the redness around her body seemed to become faded. As that skeleton placed her hand on her shoulder.

"Bingo, second wife, yes, exactly, Miss Skull was born out of sucked vitality, her whole existence depends on it, so it's natural who will win," Kyle shrugged his shoulders, sitting, given how Mialthara cannot use blood manipulation nor her bloodstream to flee from here, and even gotten cornered due to the ability of vitality devouring appeared.

"Haha, you are smart for that simp personality," Mialthara stated, her voice sounding as if hundreds of people were speaking in unison. Before her body once again turned to blood and this time wrapped around that skeleton, before declaring, "But ignorant when it comes to knowing real battle."

And then popped out hundreds of spikes again, directly piercing through the skeleton's black surface, damaging the crystal within.

"Uurrghhh!" The sheer pain shooting through the skeleton made her whole body tremble, eyes turning towards her master, who was sleeping on her feeder's head, quivering due to pain as she yelled, "M...a...st...er... p..ain!"

"How dare a weak death beast go against me!" Mialthara, on the other hand, hearing the cry of the skeleton, tightened her grip further, letting out even more spikes, seeking out with clear intentions to kill this death beast.

"Pfft—" 'Hahaha, injure her more!' And here Kyle, just looking at what he wanted to achieve, had finally happened, felt amused, clearly finding himself in a favorable spot where he got the excuse he could use now to get a third wife.

"H-husband?" Aleriana's eyes flickered from the trembling skeleton to her husband. Seeing him suddenly chuckle, she felt he may have lost his mind after seeing that skeleton with whom he had some bonding attached, yet confused as she stood completely blank on whom she prioritized—her husband or that skeleton.

:: Zz-zz...hm, Huh!? What happened to her! ::

Soon enough, Valeriana, due to hearing the sudden sound, opened her eyes, falling directly at the skeleton who stood at the center of the room now, crying in pain, wiggling after being coiled by red blood spikes made her confused as she swiftly stood, flying to protect her.

[ Have you lost your mind, Host? Save her; she has a 97-level qualification! ]

'It's time, I guess,' with the smirk finally leaving Kyle as he saw that pushing it even more could threaten the life of that skeleton he was going to use now.

His expression turned to that of a maiden in distress before snapping his gaze towards Olea and Aleriana and yelling, "WHAT ARE YOU BOTH DOING? SAVE INNOCENT MISS SKULL NOW!"

'!?'

"H-huh, y-yes!" Aleriana, completely shocked to see her husband acting like a madman before laughing, was now suddenly brought out of his dilemma and asking for help.

She swiftly nodded before her body blurred in an instant.

Following behind Olea, as both of them rushed to save the skeleton who was screaming and wailing in pain.
