Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Where Is Elfie?

Inside the personal quarters of the Vampire King, five beautiful women were sleeping peacefully, their soft snores and drooling mouths making Damian chuckle.

These women were some of the most dangerous beings in the entire Lower Plane, yet to see them sleeping like a bunch of children, cuddled up with one another, was amusing.

They slept as if the world didn’t exist, their bodies tangled together.

Damian, having left the four High Humans, entered his quarters and laid himself in the center of the bed, right between Akira and Amaya.

As if sensing their husband’s presence, Akira and Amaya instinctively wrapped their arms around him from either side, cuddling him tightly.

The remaining three stirred and turned toward him in their sleep, seeking his warmth.

Moments later, the first to open her eyes was the crimson-haired vampire countess.

Even as her emerald-like green eyes fluttered open, she didn’t move.

She replayed everything that had happened with her husband, her face flushing red from the memories.

The first thing she noticed was that she was cuddling a very voluptuous woman, one with a chest even bigger than her own.

She knew immediately who it was: Tiana, a fellow countess.

But something about her seemed different.

Her appearance hadn’t changed much, but her presence was entirely altered.

It was strange, yet captivating.

Lillian shook her head, returning her thoughts to the night they’d shared.

A warm and satisfied expression spread across her face.

“We did it… we became one with the King. We are his wives… his queens,” she whispered to herself.

“Feeling rested enough?” a deep yet tender voice asked.

Lillian’s eyes widened.

There was no mistaking that voice. It belonged to him, her mate, her man, her husband, her king.

As soon as she heard him, her heart leapt with joy.

“Husband!” she shrieked with happiness, sitting upright and looking in his direction.

She saw him seated cross-legged between Akira and Amaya.

Her sudden movement jolted Tiana awake, whom she had been cuddling.

Tiana stirred with a sleepy groan, and as Lillian cried out again, the others awoke as well.

All five women immediately turned their attention toward the man sitting at the center of the bed.

“Darling!” “Husband!” they all called in unison as they rushed to hug him from every direction, completely unbothered by their lack of clothing.

“I hope you rested well,” Damian asked with a gentle smile, patting their backs as he enjoyed the soft sensations of their bodies pressing against him.

“We did, Husband,” Tiana replied with a bright, silly smile, hugging him tightly, her enormous chest swallowing one of his arms.

Damian smiled, patting her head as he looked at his five vampire wives with his [Eyes of Earth and Heaven] ability, analyzing the changes happening within their bodies after receiving the essence of [High Humans] and [Alpha Werewolves].

The women had no idea he was scanning them.

To them, it looked like he was simply admiring their naked forms, which made them blush and their bodies heat up under his gaze.

“Darling… d-do you want to do it?” Kathryne asked, pushing her chest toward his face shyly.

Seeing this, Tiana grew jealous and pushed his head into her chest, as if casually declaring that hers were the largest of the five.

Damian closed his eyes and said nothing, simply enjoying the softness for a moment before gently grabbing Tiana’s breast and planting a kiss on her lips, which made the others envious.

Noticing their jealousy, Damian pulled Amaya, Lillian, and Akira closer and kissed each of them deeply, each kiss lasting several seconds.

Damian sighed. “As much as I want to spend the next thousand years making love to you all, once we start… I won’t be able to stop until you’ve all fallen asleep again, unable to move.”

The expressions on the women’s faces made it clear they were both frustrated and disappointed.

The few hours they’d spent with him had been like heaven.

Nothing in their entire lives had ever brought them such pleasure, and they doubted anything else ever could.

Seeing their disappointment, Damian felt a pang of guilt.

He truly did want to give in to their desires again, but after only just waking up from two days of recovery, they’d collapse into another deep sleep if they went again.

“I’ve prepared a small gift for you all,” Damian said as five specks of light manifested in his hand.

They transformed into five necklaces with heart-shaped gemstones at their centers, each one glowing and shifting colors like a brilliant kaleidoscope.

The necklaces instantly drew their attention.

They were beautiful and gave off a strange, mesmerizing aura.

Something about them felt irresistibly captivating.

Ignoring their dazed expressions, Damian gently placed the necklaces around their necks one by one, gazing lovingly into each of their eyes.

“Husband… they’re so beautiful,” they muttered, unable to tear their eyes away from the gems.

“Do you like them? I made them myself… I haven’t given them names yet,” Damian said, his hand gently grabbing Akira’s firm, juicy rear.

Tiana might’ve had the biggest chest, but Akira had the most delicious ass, and he couldn’t help but appreciate it.

“W-We love them,” Akira replied with a red face.

She could feel his strong hand on her ass-cheeks, and memories of their passionate night came flooding back, him holding her tightly while pounding her mercilessly, his lips devouring hers.

“Hmm… notice anything different?” Damian asked, glancing over their bodies.

The essence of [High Humans] and [Alpha Werewolves] had successfully integrated into their being.

Their races were now composed of 80% Noble Vampire and 20% High Human and Alpha Werewolf.

“I’ve given you the racial essence of the High Humans and Alpha Werewolves,” Damian explained. “Your physiques have strengthened rapidly. So has your life force…”

He went on to tell them how he had become the Progenitor of the Werewolves, and about the six werewolf women he had taken as wives.

The five countesses didn’t mind how many women Damian married, as long as they were his.

What shocked them more was the revelation of him becoming the Progenitor of Werewolves.

Damian chuckled at their stunned faces.

“You all do realize you’re still naked, right?” he teased, caressing Lillian’s chest.

“But, husband… I thought you wanted to do it again now that we’re awake…” Tiana said with a pout, pressing her large chest against his and hugging him tightly.

“My dear Tiana, you are adorable,” Damian said with a smirk, “but like I said… once we start, I won’t stop until you can’t move.”

The five vampire countesses stared at him with lovestruck expressions, hearts in their eyes.

They didn’t care about anything else, only to feel his love, physically and emotionally, forever.

“We’ll be together for eternity. Let’s not rush things,” Damian said, his eyes glowing with golden, reddish-purple light.

“My beloved wives… right now, we have worlds to conquer.”

He rubbed Kathryne’s cheek gently.

“Get dressed. The others are waiting,” Damian said, and the women nodded quickly.

They dressed while he watched with a small smile and a barely restrained desire in his eyes.

A few minutes later, the Vampire King, accompanied by his five countesses, walked into the throne hall, where four High Humans were waiting.

As soon as the countesses entered, their senses immediately honed in on the High Humans, their eyes widening.

“Damn… the presence you guys give off—it’s completely different. It’s like you’re new people,” Akira muttered, looking at Shiru, Maria, Ana, and Yuki.

“Not just that. You look so different… so beautiful,” Tiana added.

“Well, you’re one to talk. You haven’t exactly stayed the same either,” Ana replied with a smile.

“Fufu, watch this,” Yuki said, as a pair of large bat-like wings sprouted from her back and flapped ominously.

“Those are… vampire wings?” Amaya gasped in surprise.

“How do you have them? Did His Highness turn you into a vampire or something?” Lillian asked, but Yuki shook her head.

She did give off a vampire-like presence, but it wasn’t quite that of a vampire or a human, it was something else.

“They just grew out a couple of days ago… I’m still getting used to flying with them,” Yuki said.

“Our King said it’s due to the noble vampire essence he gave us. It’s letting us develop traits like these.”

“Yes, Yuki is correct,” Damian said. “The same goes for all of you. You also carry the essence of High Humans and Alpha Werewolves. Over time, you’ll develop traits from those races in different ways. Yuki’s wings are just the beginning. As a High Human, she normally couldn’t fly without using Qi. But now, with her vampire wings, she can fly without expending energy.”

“This is nothing compared to what’s to come,” Damian continued.

“Imagine the traits you might develop once I give you the essence of demons, angels, or even Upper Plane races.”

“That’s… unimaginable, Husband,” Tiana replied with awe.

As soon as she said “husband,” the four High Humans raised their eyebrows.

They already knew about the union, yet hearing her say it aloud still surprised them.

“Anyway, that’s for the future. For now, I’ll be heading to Biblical Hell to conquer the Demon Race,” Damian said casually, as if conquering an entire race were a simple chore.

“Husband, please let me come with you,” Amaya pleaded.

“Yes, us too,” the others chimed in, including the four High Humans.

Damian shook his head. “I can’t. Hell is chaotic, and the miasma there would kill you. I won’t take that risk. Once I become the Demon Progenitor, I’ll change that—but not now.”

His tone was firm and left no room for argument.

“I won’t be gone more than a couple of days. While I’m away, I want you to take care of a few things,” Damian said.

“First, I want to know where Elfie and her brother are. Do you know where she is?” he asked, looking at Maria.

“My lord, the last I heard from her, she said she was returning to her homeworld to deal with personal matters. She said she wouldn’t be back for a few months… and she didn’t say where exactly she was going,” Maria explained.

“I know. She said the same thing to me before she left. I don’t control her actions, but it’s been over two months now. I don’t like this… Just find out where she is and make sure she’s alright,” Damian said in a rough tone.

He shook his head. “There’s another thing. I want to create an organization dedicated solely to research, researching everything supernatural, from energy to the universe to the entire cosmos. An organization that welcomes anyone, regardless of their race or world.”
