Undead Beast Master: Living Solely for My Desires

Zaroth felt a bit conflicted about meeting her, as he had come here mainly to fight and partly to forget about his past — at least for a few days. But seeing that she was now here meant she had cared enough to search for where he had gone and decided to pay him a visit.

Which, even if Zaroth didn't want to admit, was pretty cute. In all honesty, he found it touching that she had come all the way here just to see him. Sure, she could have had an ulterior motive, but he didn't really mind.

"Lead the way," he said toward the two guards, who bowed respectfully and began walking with purpose.

They stopped before a set of gates — though not the ones leading to the Crimson Sun Empire, but to the Draconian Empire. As such, they were significantly smaller and weaker; after all, there was no point in building strong defenses facing their own territory, was there? The only time they would have needed such fortifications would be if the other side had been conquered by enemies — which was unlikely — or if the city was staging a rebellion.

Soon, Zaroth found himself in a dark room with a table made of black wood, with two chairs on either side. One chair was empty, meant for him, while the other was occupied by a beauty with flawless skin and deep crimson eyes and hair.

Midnight raised an eyebrow as she saw a man cloaked in white robes and a demonic mask enter. But an instant later, she understood it was Zaroth, thanks to the bond they shared.

"Are you cosplaying or something?" she teased, her lips curling into a playful smile as she rose gracefully to her feet.

As she stood, Zaroth's eyes widened. This was the first time he had seen her after her evolution, and he had only one thought.

"Wow." his shock was so great that he failed to hide it and spoke his true thought out loud, Midnight that he knew was nowhere to be found, now she was taller, as tall as Elysia, her eyes seemed more mature, her body seemed to have gotten even more curvy.

Midnight's playful smile turned into a prideful one, "This is the first time you have seen me after my evolution no? By your silence, I can guess that you like what you see."

'Liking' was an understatement, if it wasn't for the mask it would have become clear that his face had become red, as the blood in his body ran hotter,

"Y-yeah you do look pretty stunning." he admitted as he took a step closer. Midnight however beat him to the punch as she moved much faster than he thought was possible and the next moment he was enveloped by her hug.

Thanks to the height difference, her breasts were pressing tightly right against his face. 'If only I didn't have the mask on!' he cursed in his mind.

After a few moments, she finally let go, making it slightly easier for him to breathe.

"So why are you here?" he asked.

Midnight pouted, "What? Can't I come and see my boyfriend when he disappears on me?" then she blew him a kiss. "I was getting pretty lonely…"

Hearing this Zaroth's body ran even hotter but he had an sneaking suspicion that this wasn't all. "… but is there not another reason?"

Midnight sighed, "Yeah there is another reason you know those criminals that we locked up? Well sadly they are all now gone and while I could have stayed hunting civilians or other criminals I wanted to hear your opinion first."

Zaroth's mind wandered for a few moments until a lightbulb lit up in his head. 'The bodies of the Crimson Sun Army are still in Nightshade's shadow. This could work — I can learn if they've started to rot, or if they're still preserved.'

"A thought came to mind… but we can't discuss it here so why don't we go to my place?" he suggested and Midnight agreed.

As they exited the interrogation room Zaroth gazed at the guards, "She is with me, don't worry about her she will not be a threat."

The guards nodded in unison, even if they wanted to object they couldn't, how could they? The city was standing because of the man before them after all.

As both of them were walking towards Zaroth's little house he shared what he had done the past few days and how he was planning to infiltrate the enemy empire.

"You said that there has not been as much attack as you expected? Zaroth this is the most important place in the war," Midnight began to explain.

Zaroth was left stunned as he learned that this was the one place that under normal circumstances should have been besieged by hundreds of thousands of men, was this not the case because they were scared of his dragon?

Whatever the reason, it didn't change things. Zaroth was here to fight and grow stronger — and if the enemy wouldn't come to him, he would go to them.

Midnight also shared that she had unlocked a few new abilities, one of them seemed to be able to influence people or in other words charm them to do her bidding,

'Is that why my body feels so hot right now?' he wondered.

As if reading his thought Midnight puffed up her chest proudly, "I'm not using it at the moment. You feel like that because you're just that attracted to me"

Trying to not blush Zaroth wondered if she would be able to teach him a few other demonic skills, she and him were stronger now after all.

As they continued their walk Zaroth shared more things about Nightshade new shadow skill and his plan to getting stronger, during that time Midnight was listening to him with interest.

Zaroth also noted that throughout the whole way, Luna had been oddly quiet, which was a bit unusual. The only thing he could hear in his head was the faint sound of laughter.

'Why is she laughing? Am I missing something?' he pondered for a few moments but in the end decided to not bother thinking about it, it must have not been anything important.

Finally reaching his house, Zaroth turned the knob and entered, with Midnight following behind him.

"Oh Zaroth you have returned." The first thing that greeted them was Betty — sitting on his bed, completely naked, stretching her hands above her head. It seemed she had just woken up. Her large breasts were on full display, her blonde hair flowing wildly in all directions. Her beautiful, gem-like blue eyes seemed a bit unfocused, most likely because she had just woken up.

Midnight went deadly silent as she saw the woman, and once Betty realized someone else had entered, she froze too.

At that moment, the faint laughter in his head exploded into full-blown laughter, as Luna couldn't hold it back anymore.

Zaroth wanted to hit himself in the head. He had completely forgotten that Betty was here—and on top of that, she was completely naked! There was no escaping this situation!

'Ah... if this isn't the consequence of my own actions…'
