"I am Dark, the most powerful being you'll ever meet!"

Clyde groaned . He was just a dozen yards from the group and could hear Dark already making an idiot of himself . He wondered if Selkie just wanted to be rid of him for the night . The way things appeared between the two, Clyde felt like Dark was the one who needed the break from the green-haired ent.i.ty, but not in his group .

"Clyde, what the h.e.l.l?" Kitome said running to him . Harumi softly facepalmed . Neko simply smirked . Without Alice present, the catgirl would probably try something . He looked forward to it—no, he was the leader . If someone degraded him in front of everyone, they'd probably lose faith . Kitome grabbed Clyde's collar and shook . "Is this your idea of a joke . "

Clyde pulled the blue-haired girl's hand away, giving her the most tired expression, he had .

"Just put up with it," he said . "He has the gift just like us and could probably wipe the floor with you . Tonight's very important . See my guest?"

"A cosplayer?" Kitome said .

Toru shot her a blank look but said nothing . Kitome nearly lunged at him but he danced away with a smirk .

"Hi Clyde . "

Chika dove into his arms, almost inhaling his scent like Neko . Clyde set a mental note to check the ingredients of his shower gel . Maybe something in it could help out those that were struck single, clasping onto hope .

"Hey Chika," he said, hugging back briefly . He made a resolve the previous night to overlook her yandere as long as she didn't allow it to take control of her . She was virtually his favorite friend and the choice for girlfriend, until the previous day . "Alright, listen up," he said, addressing the entire group . "Our guest, Neko here is going to lead us someone important . A door or something that will bring us one step closer to beating the demon lord . But stay on guard because if this is a trap," he smiled at the cat girl, "I've got Alice on speed-summon . "

Neko stuck her tongue out .

"Nya, a man of caution . I like it . I can a.s.sure you that it is not a trap . I also should warn you that I'm being pursued by the demon lord's minions . Strong ones too . You'll probably die if you take them lightly . "

Everyone briefly paled, eyes widening . They quickly covered up their expressions with game faces . Neko continued to smile innocently .

"Good to know," Clyde said with tightened anger . "Well, we've been fighting them nightly . No point of stopping now . But… . if you guys feel over your heads, run the h.e.l.l away . This is not worth dying over . Yell for help too . "

"You can always call for my protection," Dark said . "The power of my right hand will answer to all who need me . "

Pained expressions briefly flashed on everyone's faces, including Clyde's .

"Let's go . Neko, lead the—stop doing that . "

He flinched from the lick she gave him on the Neck . Chika's aura flared up . Clyde raised his voice to take control of the situation . "Lead the way before the stronger minions catch us . "

"Nyaaa, let's go . " She winked then started off in a direction, seemingly by nose . Everyone followed, though Kitome, Harumi, and Seth gave Clyde skeptical looks .

Clyde's mouth dropped when the first enemies showed up . Two slime girls and …one that was dark purple . Like the other two, she had the form of a busty woman . He a.n.a.lyzed the enemy .

Vera looked right at Clyde as if she felt his a.n.a.lyze skill scan her . She stared for at least three seconds then turned to her minions . Her level twenty-five minions .

"They are of the hidden lotus," Neko said . "And—"

"Grab the beast kin," the dark slime ordered in a voice that sounded like a normal human woman . "I've got a date with someone who's been darting under our lord's radar, far too long . "

"Well, Toru, you're the slime bait," Seth said to Toru . "He's the only one who banged a slime woman . "

The two slime girls looked at Toru . The young n.o.ble glared daggers at Seth .

"Everyone battle formation four! Protect Neko," Clyde said . "Dark, lend me a hand because here she comes . "

Vera leapt toward Clyde . The others launched into the ordered formation, beginning a defense against the two slime girls .

[Your party has entered combat!]

Clyde dodged to the side then took aim . He didn't get the chance to launch the energy ball . A tendril of slime grabbed his arm .

[You have been inflicted with bind! Bind is still holding!]

Vera smiled .

"Have you experienced what is like to mate with my kind? You're the stone and their leader…Hmm, bond with me! I'll make a husband out of you . "

Clyde struggled furiously against the slimy tentacles, but they simply multiplied into enough to secure all of his limbs . All of this done from ten yards away .

"Great power—slicing dark bolt!"

Dark's black lightning cut through each tentacle, allowing Clyde to move again . He didn't waste any time to engage the surprised Vera .

Too bad the level twenty-eight slime girl didn't remain surprised long enough . When Clyde fired his energy ball, she smacked it to the side with a single hand .

"Great power—shadow ball!"

"Are you joking?" Vera said, her voice calm as she smacked that attack aside too . "Hmm, oh! Oh my! You're the Leaf . " She grinned . "Come mere!"

"You underestimate me," Dark said as he did an exaggerated movement with his right arm . "Let me show you what happens to those who take me for a fool . "

Clyde sighed, but he couldn't let the chuuni face the dark slime alone . He examined his skills, searching for something useful . The idea came to him right away . Why not help everyone out?

[You activated Scatter shot!]

He held up his hand, allowing energy b.a.l.l.s to fly all over the place, nailing the targets . The grunts of the enemies and thanks of his friends confirmed it . He set his prompt to focus on Vera .

[Enemy HP has dropped to 184%]

"You know, I should've partnered up with Chika," he said . "No…if that **** attack land, she could be turned into one of them . "

Dark tried to unleash another attack, but Vera moved onto the offense . With one hand aimed at Dark, she fired a giant beam of yellowish energy . Clyde watched his combat log .

[Enemy has used Gyro beam!]

[Dark was inflicted with severe damage!]

[Dark's HP has dropped to 13%]

Wait for it… .

[Dark's pa.s.sive skill activated . Pain to power!]

The dark slime didn't see the red beam coming . It struck her so fast, Clyde barely caught sight of it .

[Enemy HP has dropped to 34%]

Clyde laughed .

"Holy s.h.i.+t man, that's broken . "

Dark pulled out a small bottle of red liquid from midair—Clyde knew was his inventory . The chuuni took a long swallow then tossed the bottle to the side .

[Dark has used Super Health Potion!]

[Dark's HP has increased to 90%]

Clyde gaped .

"Where'd you get that?"

Dark laughed .

"You think I'm telling you? You have your destiny, I have mine . Let's leave it at that . Besides, with a skill like mine, one must be able to heal constantly—I don't have a healer . Well, Selkie, but she can't interfere . "

Vera suddenly laughed and laughed and laughed . Her hysterical laughter sent chills up Clyde's spine .

"Talking as if you've won," she said .

[Enemy hidden attack . Binding of Last Resort . ]

The flash of electric light blasted the young men to their backs . If it weren't for enhanced stats, Clyde was sure the concrete would hurt way worse . He tried to move but couldn't . Suddenly, he heard a squeal from Dark .

He was able to move his head to see Vera caressing the chuuni's face and chest . She pulled off his clothes until the young man was stark naked .

"You—you can-can't do this!" Dark said, his voice full of nervousness . "This is combat! How dare you insult me . No—I can't lose my—I mean get done by a slime . "

Vera laughed .

"I've only started with you to save the best for last . "

Clyde had a choice here . Let this happen to see, but risk whatever the bonding was or… He decided not to be a d.i.c.k .

Movement of his magic should be possible . This would be over in a flash…except that his magic didn't budge . No summoning for him .

The slime girl giggled then kissed Dark .

"A virgin? Oh wow . "

Clyde turned his head when she mounted the chuuni . Forcing himself to ignore her loud moaning and Dark's grunts, he focused on the paralysis icon in his head . Five minutes left—holy s.h.i.+t . What kind of magic price did she pay to unleash this level of stun?

Suddenly, a screech from the air made Clyde flinch . As if his situation couldn't get any worse, the flapping of large wings hovered right over him . He looked up to catch the sight of women with wings . He recognized them from the just about any legend, video game, anime—whatever . Harpies . f.u.c.king huge Talons grasped his shoulders and soon they launched him several feet into the air . Vera screamed angry snarls at them, but it was too late .

This couldn't be happening, Clyde thought . To end this way . He watched the timer as the flight seemed to last forever . Where were they taking him? Why him? Did it have something to do with the stone?

Chika couldn't save him from this one . Neither could any of his other friends . He'd have to somehow make it out alive on his own .

Harpy

Level: 25

Type: Monster

Work under: Eastern Harpy Clan .

Special: wind cutter . [Chance to stun at 13%] .

Weakness: Your hostile detection isn't high enough for this .

Resistances: See above .

Secret: Your hostile detection, luck, and will isn't high enough for this .

Five f.u.c.king levels higher . Two on one . The last stretch of paralysis ended as soon as the harpies landed, but not before setting Clyde down back-first . They ruthlessly undressed him, then tossed his sword off the side of the building . Off…Clyde let the fact that they were on one of the tallest buildings in the city, sink in .

"You keep watch," one harpy dressed in a short black dress, told the other . "Let the reproducing burden fall on me . "

The harpy shrugged, her green dress fluttering in the wind .

"I mean if you like laying eggs, that's your problem . Are you going to make him stay and father?"

"Of course," she said . "I may need a husband . Nothing's more suitable than the Stone . That's what the slime b.i.t.c.h called him, right? The legend himself . "

The green dress harpy shook her head .

"Whatever . It's not like I wanted him for my husband you know . "

"We don't have time for this," said the black dress harpy . "His friends may be able to catch our trail . But if I get a load of s.e.m.e.n inside of me, I'll cast something that will make us disappear . "

"Oh f.u.c.k no," Clyde said . "I've got s.h.i.+t to do . "

"You can still do whatever you want," the black-dressed harpy said . She had long black hair that draped past her back . "But as my husband, you'll have curfew . And you'll have to help raise the kids . Don't worry about money or anything . Our queen will guarantee us happy lives . "

She ma.s.saged Clyde's manhood . The young man inhaled sharply .

He thought to himself, will he really become of the raped . Dignity aside, he would no longer get to tease Toru and Seth . And bird kids? Fatherhood was very far from his mind .

[Paralysis has worn off!]

[Your heart protection has warded off the Harpy's mind control . ]

He blinked . The harpy believed he was under a spell . . . Interesting . The paralysis only made things easier .

The harpy licked the tip of his horn, giggled, then licked down again and again . She started off slow with the b.l.o.w.j.o.b . Clyde felt like he was in heaven—he'd at least let this finish before she attempted to mount him .

Harpies were strong—and probably stronger than him . If she got on top, he'd blow a load in her for sure .

The sliding of her mouth and tongue made Clyde quiver . He felt the climax nearing . The harpy probably did too because she stopped . She gave the young man a longing look as she stripped .

As much as Clyde wanted to finish, he knew it was time to act . He located a door not too far off, which marked his avenue of escape .

With one hand aimed at the unsuspecting h.o.r.n.y harpy, he released his attack .

[You've entered combat]

[Activated Spirit wave!]

[From the up-close and unarmored range, SUPER CRITICAL! Enemy is stunned!]

[Enemy HP has dropped to 45%]

The impact of the attack blasted the screaming, stunned harpy off the side of the building .

[You have killed 1 harpy . ]

Her partner looked horrified . Instead of attacking Clyde, she leapt after her friend, hoping to save her .

[Battle completed . Victory! Reward: 1200 EXP and $200 . ]

Clyde wasted no time bolting to the door . To his relief, it was unlocked . He ran down the stairs nearly three at a time .

Within minutes, he burst out of an emergency exit to the sweet, sweet road . He activated his mental navigation system and watched the meters count down as he ran . He ignored the screeching and flapping of wings in the distance . That sounded like reinforcements . If caught, he'd be killed for sure . Probably eaten alive .

To think he went from a normal patrol leader to a terrible harpy killer . Just what the h.e.l.l was going on?

[You've gained a Wanted Rep with all harpy clans . Current Wanted level: 5/5 . ]

"Ah s.h.i.+t," Clyde said softly . "I didn't expect for the attack to…Well, a monster is a monster . Just because it has a pretty face… . " He paused, continuing his running . He made sure not to be out in the open like an idiot . The deadly angels from above would surely s.n.a.t.c.h him up if he made one mistake .
