Dread Sovereign: Monster Girl Harem-Chapter 166 165: Preparation For Dragon Slaying

Raven's foot was filled with sticky goo before the Arachne had already skittered away with trembling legs—he shouted to her before she vanished.

"Oi, we're moving to another place soon, so if you want to come, just take one of the spare rooms and come when Lilith leaves. Otherwise, I'll tell Delia."

".....Mm....." her soft voice sounded before she climbed into the loft again, the sound of her feet tapping unevenly on the ceiling tiles.

He watched as she vanished, the night was still late, and he didn't have much to do; even if he rushed into the dungeon now to desperately level, that wouldn't do him much good as his axe was damaged, and he didn't have a good plan.

Standing opposite the training pillar, he lifted his arms and began to bounce on his feet, bringing his knees to his abdomen and loosening himself up.

"Ha....Haa....Haa..."

Thud!

Raven struck the dummy with his fists landing several jabs while hopping to and fro, his body focusing less on power and more on being nimble, his elbows striking forward to slam into the iron pillar, causing thick dents to form.

He then hopped back, pivoting on his right foot—he twisted his body and smacked the dummy with a spinning heel kick, the force causing the room to shake as sweat slowly oozed from his body and face.

'Good...'

"Phew.....ha.....ha."

The sun slowly began to peek through the dark grey clouds; likely today would be faced with light rain, maybe worse, as Raven continued to assault the pillar with a storming flurry of kicks, punches and elbows.

Each blow was now far more controlled, the heavy pillar lightly shuddering, but the blows didn't leave a mark. Instead, they were faster—instead of one big punch, he sent out five fast jabs followed by a devastating elbow.

"haa.....haa...." That seems enough—let's contact Zentia.

Taking out his Magictek receiver, he placed it inside his ear and cracked his neck before calling her number—thankfully, the time was 8:30 am, and she started to work much earlier due to her profession.

He turned on the hot water and listened to the ringing tone feeling the aching and slight burning pain in all his muscles. 'Good workout...'

Clack!

"Hello~ it's super early for you to call me~ fufu! Did you finally get tired of not coming to me sooner?" Mel'Zentia's bright voice sounded as she chirped from the receiver in his ear.

Raven's hands began to massage the watermelon shampoo through his hair, a smile on his face picturing the goblin's pretty face and dynamite body, before he replied, "Ah, I missed you, and so did Mor'Vaal Our baby is all beat up and needs her mother's love."

"Oho~ why is your mouth so sweet today? Hmmmm? Is that the sound of rain?"

When she asked, Raven laughed and began to rinse the bubbles from his hair, about to leave the shower as he was clean and freshly scented. "Just a shower."

"!!!"

"Are you inviting me? You know I am interested in you, so you call me while naked and showering?"

"Calm down, Zentia~ these things cannot be rushed. Your mother would kill me if I slept with you without thinking about the future."

"Hmmmm... but she told me to take you down and fuck you till you were addicted to me?" Zentia spoke with a cute tone despite her words being filthy and lewd.

"Ah..." 'Damn, it runs in their family!' He thought.

Raven was wearing a tower as he sat on the black sofa looking outside, the sun slowly seeming to burn away the gloomy sky while the gentle yet assertive voice of Zentia did the same for him.

"Say, should I come today? I accidentally challenged a dragon to a duel in 7 days... If I lose, I become her "treasure", haha."

The line became silent for a moment, with the heavy breathing of Zentia in the background.

"Are you an idiot!? That dragon, was she female, white hair and super awkward!?"

Zentia scolded him, but her words were filled with thick emotion and worry—he could only smile while leaning his head back over the sofa, taking a deep breath and sighing.

"Ah, it was... She was a little crazy..."

"Raven, I don't want to burst your bubble, but maybe you should... you know, come with me and visit my mother? That dragon won't find you if we go to that place..."

"Stop." He interrupted her, his face still smiling at the kind gesture.

"But..."

"I will beat her; I can beat her... As long as I have your help and work hard in the next 7 days."

"A-Are you sure... S-She is a Bahamut... something even my father said was extremely powerful."

"Mmmmm, about 40% sure."

"!!!"

Slowly their call lasted quite some time, even Lilith the lazy pig coming out of the room, her cute almond face and white hair peeking from the door as Raven laughed and joked with Zentia for nearly an hour before booking an appointment in 3 hours.

"I have to go now—my cute wife is glaring from the door, and it seems like she will cry."

"Hmmm~ when will you call me a cute wife."

"Never! You'd be more sexy and alluring!"

"Fufu~ you didn't deny me becoming a wife; I've done it!"

"H-Hey, wait...."

*Boop* *Boop*

Raven could only smile wryly as the phone went dead. He sensed the feeling of Lilith's body approaching her body, clasping onto his back and kissing the back of his neck with warm, sticky lips.

"Mmmmn~ who is your wife, sexy orc bastard? How dare you run to other women after knocking me up, fufu~ give me some of that sweet affection."

"Okay, okay, I am the bad guy. Affection or breakfast, which first?" Raven asked softly, grabbing her waist as he flicked her to his front, letting her legs wrap around him as their lips met with a soft but affectionate kiss.

Lilith's nose blew at his face playfully before his tongue pushed into her mouth, and their passion deepened in the living room, then to the kitchen, where he sat her on the wooden counter, their tongues parting with a bridge of saliva as she reopened her dreamy eyes.

"Mmmm~ what are you going to cook me? Fufu~ orc master."

He looked back while taking out some pans, cooking oil and various ingredients from the fridge. Raven smiled as he saw her tail swaying in delight—as she knew he was about to cook, her favourite was a savoury omelette with bacon, ham and spring onions with a pancake drowning in honey on the side plate.

"Today, I want some blueberries~ and cream on the pancake!" She mewed, her throat imitating a cat's purr, as she seemed to want something different today—Raven just smiled because he didn't mind making her do whatever she asked.

They shared a quiet, peaceful breakfast full of flirting and fun before he started to message Zestria and Emily for the best dungeons and ways to improve both their fighting ability and level the fastest; on the other hand, he messages Philis about exercises that might be good for a baby and her joints.

Because she was complaining they were sore, he also added that later tonight, he would visit and give her a warm oil massage to help relieve the stress, to which she jumped at the idea with countless happy emoji's being pasted in their messages.

Lilith was looking at the pictures that Miriam and Evelyn sent and was confused as to who Evelyn was as she looked like her but with black hair and golden eyes, so Raven began to tell her most of the story.

"Ask her for the rest when she's ready. Otherwise, it's unfair for me to tell all her secrets."

"Mmmm, you spoke about some girls from the slum she wanted to make stronger... Are they like me too?"

"Ah, they are like half-manticores, maybe less, but they were good girls. Why do you want to help me train them so they can make a living?"

Raven no longer hid anything from Lilith as she lay beside him, her fingers stroking his rugged cheek; seeing all the messages, both the obscene pictures and the normal chats, her face didn't seem jealous but rather happy that he stopped hiding these things.

She rolled on his lap, leaning her head on his thighs with a smile on her face, watching the television showing the overall damage of the dungeon wave Raven fought in. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭

"Will you be mad if I said yes? I want to meet more like me... and make more friends."

"How could I be mad, but remember you're body isn't just your own anymore...." His large hand stroked along her stomach with a strange feeling flowing through his body from the small aura growing inside her—it seemed able to absorb both the pink and purple energies like magic.

'A little strange, if it can absorb both, does that mean it's neither male nor female?'

Raven thought because males couldn't absorb the purple aura, and women could only produce the pink aura... It made him wonder would his child be something with both parts or none at all...

'I hope she is pretty and strong like her mother.'

"Mmmm... it feels ticklish when you stroke my stomach... my abdomen starts to throb and feel warm~ but different from usual when your aura fills my body with your love.

"It's because your aura isn't flowing to me but our baby, right? Is that why it feels strange?"

Lilith's intelligence and atmosphere had changed quite drastically just from becoming pregnant Raven didn't know if it was due to how Manticores evolved. There were too many things he didn't know, which scared him as the small baby in her womb could absorb more of his aura than any of his women...

Even before it was formed, it could absorb almost infinitely... like saying, "Daddy, pls, more tasty milk." Which caused his spine to shudder...

'I have to protect her and the child in Philis's stomach... at all costs.'

"Darling, I have to meet the goblin from the other day soon. Do you have any plans?"

"Mmmm, I am going shopping with Armina and Delia. Since they were excited about my pregnancy, they became super weird. Even Emily wanted to come, but she had work and sent me 2,000 credits as a gift."

Raven nodded before taking out his phone and swiping it across her little pink watch with rabbits on it that she insisted on having as it was cute.

[Transferred 3,000 credits to Lilith]

"Here, make sure you don't do any heavy lifting, have all the items delivered to the mansion and take a car... don't walk too much and call me if you need anything." He sounded like a worried dad when his kids went on their first school trip or our outing.

Yet the sentiment caused Lilith's heart to feel warm as she kissed his cheek before nuzzling their noses together. "Mmmm, I will buy many things for us and send them to our new home."

Relieved, Raven stroked her soft cheeks before climbing off the chair and heading towards the door in his black jeans, loose t-shirt, and leather jacket, making him look quite badass.

"I'll see you later, have a lovely day."

"Fufu~ I already miss you, darling~."
