Leveling Up with My Adorable Monster Girl Harem!-Chapter 174 The Truth

Chapter 174: The truth

"I was pregnant."

Leon's heart became cold because he couldn't imagine Athena being alone with a baby. He knew that those things were out of his control, but he still felt bad.

However, it was worse than he'd imagined.

Athena looked into his eyes and teared. "I realized I was pregnant a few months after coming to this world. I wanted to cease my new life immediately and no longer fight monsters and others… When I was the most vulnerable, my friends turned into wolves…." At that point, tears crumbled down on Athena's face, and she could barely speak. "And I lost our child."

Leon parted his lips, but no words brushed his lips.

He felt like someone clenched his heart and tightly squeezed out all his feelings, leaving only a cold seed within his chest, which sprouted into a full-grown tree of hatred toward humanity.

Athena vividly described how her human friends attacked her and forced her to lose her only happiness. Leon could only listen to those words which reverberated in his mind.

"I'm happy that you're here… But I can't shake off the feeling that you've lived a good life while I struggled and even gave up on my humanity… The loss of our child weighed on my heart for more than fifty years… I often have nightmares of that night, too… So… While it's common for men to have harems… it hurts me that you have someone else in your life. I'll do all in my heart to accept them, but it'll be hard. It will be too hard…" Athena looked down, pouring down more tears.

Leon silently extended his hand and gently pressed her against his chest, giving her more room to cry. Her cries and tears sank into his shirt as he listened and slowly changed into a different man.

"I understand… I'll give you enough time to accept that… I'll always be by your side as well." Leon stroked Athena's hair, planting a few soft kisses on her streaks, then slowly took her to his room.

Not having the strength or will to take off their clothes, Athena and Leon simply leaned down and laid themselves on Leon's bed. He held her dearly, embracing her.

But a lot of clogs shifted in Leon's mind.

He detested humanity.

Louise and Celes heard Athena's story.

As women, they couldn't imagine what kind of pain Athena had to go through. Moreover, her beloved was in a different world, and she had no one else to rely on. Being alone in such a cruel world, Athena suffered much more than Leon.

While they were jealous and felt kinda unfair, both swore to help Athena assimilate into Leon's life and accept her as someone more than a rival in love.

The next day, Leon had a visit from Winterborn King.

But the ice man didn't even see Leon's face, as Leon and Athena refused to leave the bedroom. Celes spoke with him and explained a few things, then promised to pass down the news Winterborn King had come with. The man also said that his wife surely would visit Leon soon and that she wouldn't leave him alone without seeing Athena at least once.

Celes took that to heart and faintly smiled.

The following days were quite annoying for Leon's family.

That was because Leon and Athena were a pair that had enough strength to kill the divine beings. They were like essential pieces to deal with The Death Lord, The Human Emperor, The Chaos Dragon, and the last life divine man.

Leon refused to speak with anyone, though.

Celes dealt with all talks, then she met her wolf friend.

Lizanna came with quite terrifying news. "I saw your sisters… The Human Emperor also became… too lustful."

"What do you mean by that?" Celes narrowed her eyes.

Every sex-related topic irked her more than it should nowadays.

Lizanna described a scene where The Human Emperor showcased his bed skills openly during the conquest, as though all years of being shackled turned him into a horny dog. He wasn't like that before since he hadn't touched The Nine-Tailed Star and other gorgeous enslaved women.

But now, he was slowly eating up everyone.

"He's doing it from the highest ranked women, then goes downward. Right now, he's focusing on people he has to conquest, but soon, he should laid his hands on succubi under him… Irene Crownedge didn't allow him to touch her loyal succubi — I saw that." Lizanna sighed. "That's why I fear your sisters are in wolf's hands."

"Everyone is a fucking wolf!" Celes screamed, then quickly lowered her words. "Except Leon… Anyway, you came here to scout us, right?"

"Yes." Lizanna nodded. "Our forces aren't that wounded, and we can quickly move together to stop The Human Emperor's growth… He also taunted The Chaos Dragon, and I heard dragons are preparing to deal with him, too. We want to use their conflict to deal the decisive blow and save people under his control, like your sisters."

Celes gave it a lot of thought, then nodded. "I'll go. Just me."

Louise came then from the shadows. "I won't let you go there alone."

The vampiress curled her lips into a soft but immensely lovely smile.

"A divine life concept has fallen into the wrong hands." The Death Lord invaded the elven forest race, corrupting their forest with death energy.

Blanketed from crest to roots, the whole forest became black.

And in the highest tree, a man with the divine life concept cowered before The Death Lord. "You're a coward, worse than the fallen space divinity."

With his ghosts, The Death Lord had seen through Leon's battle against Adam. Though Adam was the newbie and reveled in treasures and beauties, he had a hard-working heart. He just lacked time.

And, in fact, he was quite forcefully thrown into The Freya World.

On the other hand, the life divine concept wielder was a man that was like a plant. Yes, he was a human, but the forest elves could only feed that man with their wealth and make him grow up in strength. They used his presence to boost their forest and influence over the world, but that was all.

The man himself couldn't wield too much of that power and was nothing short of a threat.

He was a man that needed others to hand him things.

The Death Lord couldn't even scowl at him. "Just die."

Another divine concept died just like that.

The Death Lord looked at the skies. "Seems like you've guided others to Roger Dream. And you even forced him to taunt The Chaos Dragon… Are you that impatient, or have you grown fed-up, The Oracle?"

Giving a chance for Leon to live was one of the best choices he had done. Leon dealt with the divine space man, and The Death Lord erased the divine life concept. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

Now, only chaos and time were left behind.

Leon was utterly outside that system, but The Death Lord felt like fate would make him clash with that man soon enough. Treating it like his last trial to become death, The Death Lord spun and left the highest tree with a smile on his face.

Indeed, only powerful existences could make him smile.
