Dungeon Overlord: Monster Girl Harem!-Chapter 60: Spouse of the First Flame

Leonhardt's eyes widened the moment Ifrit's flame plunged into his flesh, a soundless scream forming on his lips. The flames spread through his organs and muscles instantly, and the blazing heat seared his insides.

He didn't even have an opportunity to think that it hurt or register the heat. He couldn't breathe, and his body began to convulse. His heart stopped beating for a moment, only to hammer wildly in his chest as if to make up for lost time.

The blood in his body evaporated, replaced by something new, something hot, something that wasn't supposed to be there. It was like he'd swallowed molten iron.

His eyes rolled back into his head, and he collapsed on the spot, unable to even scream.

"That's it, such a passionate flame, it's so hot and affectionate." Ifrit's cheeks flickered with embers, as the red flames of Leonhardt wrapped around her body, caressing her skin.

Ifrit parted her lips with strands of molten saliva bubbling into thin strands, creating a hot sigh as she gasped. Leonhardt's flames poured into her mouth and down her throat. Her body glowed from the inside out, every part of her flesh burning with a bottomless thirst.

She could feel the fire deep within her core, and she knew that this was what she had been missing all along.

"Ugh…"

Meanwhile, the veins under Leonhardt's skin throbbed and bulged as they were filled with boiling blood.

Leonhardt's entire body felt like it was about to explode. He couldn't move or think straight. All he could do was writhe in agony as his body burned from the inside out.

The flames of origin tempered his body and mind, destroying the soft flesh and tissues under her destructive flame while rapidly regenerating a moment later, stronger, more resilient, and fire-resistant.

"Leonhardt, you must endure this."

His eyes opened slightly, allowing him to see her vague figure. Leon's lips curved into a smile, and golden fire billowed from his mouth. His body was burning up, but he was still alive. Ifrit watched him with a look of concern on her face, but there was also something else in her gaze: admiration.

"To accept my flame with a smile, fufu… you damned fool."

This transformation and evolution would shape his future, the monster he would become and could become. The potential that lay dormant within him would be unleashed, and he could achieve greatness beyond his wildest dreams. He would conquer any obstacle that stood in his way and fulfil whatever desire he held when creating their oath.

"I'm no fool…" Leonhardt's lips trembled, a voice slipping through his swollen lips.

He stepped forward, and an imposing form flashed around his body. The dark and insidious spider, with black streaks, gazed upon Ifrit for several moments, eight ruby eyes filled with a malevolent light.

Once that form vanished, another appeared, different but just as fearsome—a devilish image of a handsome male with twisted horns and sharp fangs draped in a cloak of raven feathers. This creature looked at Ifrit with a twisted smirk on its face before disappearing again.

Then came the third form, which seemed to be influenced by Asuka.

The black dragon towered over Ifrit, her small body barely the same size as its sharp toe claw.

"Amazing…"

Ifrit's heart raced as she saw these forms flash before her eyes. Each one was as powerful as the last, and each one represented a part of Leonhardt's soul and potential.

Her gaze never left his figure for a moment, while she bit her lower lip and felt her heart race. She knew that this man was destined for greatness, and she wanted nothing more than to help him achieve it.

The transformation moved on.

This time, he became something different—a unique monster, an ancient elf named a Fae Lord. Their figures were ethereal and inspired the current stories and tales of the ancient fairies and greater spirits.

A Fae Lord was a mythical being that had been born from the union of a Fae and an elemental spirit. They were incredibly rare and highly sought after by those who wished to gain their power or knowledge.

Though later in their existence, they became sought after for their beauty.

"After all, Leonhardt is too beautiful."

Leonhardt's consciousness collapsed after the final form was shown. The flame of Ifrit helped him evolve further, removing the limits of his race and becoming something new.

She watched as the flames consumed him, transforming him into something else entirely. His body grew larger, his muscles rippling beneath his skin, and his features sharpened.

The next moment, the Red and golden flames intersected, wrapping around his body like rose petals, folding around his larger form, slowly shrinking, and reforming Leonhardt towards an ideal shape to handle all his forms and future growth.

"When you wake up… everything will be over, my dear partner."

Ifrit tapped his cheek. The flames were nothing but a gentle warmth to her touch. "I'll make sure there is nothing in your path."

This transformation changed Leonhardt. He became a special and unique type of chimera with a title. This means that he became close to the Alpha wolf in the forest and a 'Silver Elite' monster by human standards.

"Now then… I should help that little girl, since you've already marked her."

Ifrit's body vanished, before appearing in the mind of Asuka, who sat curled up in the darkness. Since Ifrit became Leonhardt's first woman, thanks to them signing an oath of marriage and fate, she couldn't leave Asuka alone anymore.

"I am the first, so I should be generous with the Second."

'Though the second should have been Zafira's spot, she took too long to even realise her feelings.'

The origin of fire stepped forward and touched Asuka's sweaty forehead, which trembled in the darkness. Ifrit found her body cold to the touch, almost like ice.

"Do not fear the transformation, child."

Asuka opened her eyes, looking at Ifrit with a tired expression, her eyes dull and lifeless. She said nothing, and just stared at Ifrit blankly, but the silence became too unbearable, and Asuka broke.

"W-Who?" Asuka asked softly.

"I'm the one who will save you, and let you remain beside him forever," Ifrit said with a smile.

Asuka looked at Ifrit with suspicion, but she didn't move away from her touch. The words that this strange spirit told her made Asuka's heart flutter, pounding heavily in her chest.

"What do you mean?" Asuka asked.

"You're strong, but you cannot endure the fire that will reform your body, but if you accept me, I can save you and give you what you want most."

"Y-You won't separate us?"

"No, I'll ensure you stay together forever."

Asuka hesitated for a moment, but then nodded her head slowly. She trusted this woman because she could feel something familiar about her, something comforting.

All flames, and those with an affinity for flames, would feel this sense towards the mother of destructive fire.

"Then… rest now, child. I will help you and when you awaken. Protect him well." Ifrit kissed Asuka's forehead, and her body burst into flames, vanishing from the darkness and returning to the real world.

In the real world, Asuka's body was engulfed in flames, which quickly spread across her body.

She then endured the same transformation that Leonhardt endured, but instead of turning into a chimera. The monster that appeared before her was a huge red dragon with crimson-red scales and golden eyes. Yet, she was much smaller than the dragon Leonhardt transformed into.

The process was painful, but it was also liberating.
