Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Chapter 298: Absolute Cinema 2 [Bonus]

Black Fangʼs amused expression turned into one of creepy satisfaction. ”Devil, Devil, Devil… You keep doing whatever you can to remain anonymous, yet you surround yourself with such flashy subordinates? You canʼt simply throw a robe and a mask on these people and expect them to not be recognized.

A Healer elf with an Epic rarity weapon, an Enchanter Wizard, A Fujimori Samurai, a dog-kin assassin with claws… Well, at least your tank is inconspicuous enough. However, all four of those unique beings will be flanking a giant of a man… Do you seriously think I wonʼt be able to find the real you? Hehehe!!”

While the woman continued her unhinged ramblings, the elf was doing her best to keep Devil alive.

”[Divine Mend]” Seraphiel whispered, causing her staff to glow as the light shifted. Warm, golden magic poured into Devilʼs body, knitting flesh and tissue back together with meticulous care. The wound began to slowly close, muscle reforming, and blood vessels reconnecting. For good measure, she also forced him to drink a high-tier health potion.

The seriousness of the situation lessened, but Seraphiel wasnʼt finished.

”[Sanctify]” she uttered her next spell with her silky smooth feminine tone that was as steady and calm as possible in the situation. Holy light flared up around the wound, purging it of any lingering impurities. The light burned away any infection, sterilizing the injury from within. The healing process was complete.

”Having a competent healer like this woman is such a luxury, especially at their meager level. And she is even an elf, so she can be useful in the forests and around wildlife in general.

I bet that together with the dog-kin, traversing nature on their way to the outpost they suffered no real opposition while the other teams were fearing and fighting for their lives constantly… I think there was a report that estimated about 15000 deaths were caused in the forests as the candidates made their way to their indicated locations due to the Greenskin invasion, other forest dwellers, and of course, candidates killing each other.

Yet our Devil likely took a comfy trip to my drug outpost… Life truly isnʼt fair. Kekeke!”

While the Healer worked, the Heralds flanked their Phenomʼs slumped form protectively. Their loyalty shone through not only in how they surrounded him, but how worried they were for his safety. ”Look ahead ladies, and gentlemen if any of you are a man…” Black Fang snickered.

Some of them were obviously females, but others didnʼt speak and had completely hidden their bodies behind armor and clothes, so it wasnʼt completely obvious. ”I get that youʼre worried for your Phenomʼs life, but you watching the healing process wonʼt speed it up… Kekeke!

It would be pretty funny if someone managed to kill Devil because they didnʼt guard him properly… Oh, the juicy drama that would ensue in their ranks…!”

Yes, Black Fang was getting more invested by the second not only in Devil but his team as well. So much so that she didnʼt even notice when one of the vipers bit into the back of her knee, hoping that her soft skin there wouldnʼt hold tight. It was right, since some venom managed to weasel its way into her fragile-looking body, but it did not affect her at all.

My epic battle with the Phenom team concluded with me only getting three assists since I couldnʼt finish them all off on my own. Not only that, but I almost died as well. Iʼve never seen my HP percentages drop to such a dangerous level.

That sight made me want to put even more of my future free points into Vitality, but… I canʼt neglect my other stats, especially since putting points into them is in a way makes me tankier.

If I had 20 extra Agility maybe I wouldnʼt have even suffered a minor injury, so it stands to reason that I invest in my other stats as well. Thatʼs the way Ayame was our tank until Lucille appeared. She just killed her enemies before they could kill her, and used her Agility and natural acrobatic talent to dodge what she had to.

The reason I have time to even muse about these things while being in the most chaotic battle of my life is that Iʼve found myself riding on Lucilleʼs armored back with my arms clinging around her neck. Iʼve put her axe away into my storage ring so that I can have a comfortable rest while she carries me to safety.

The girls killed the remaining obstruction that stood behind us and a nice, safe corner where we could set up our formation properly before they rushed for my help, so now we just had to get there. Ayame and Blossom were acting as the vanguard, me and Lucille in the middle, and Seraphiel was following after me while casting healing spells on me one after the other when they came off cooldown.

My HP is already full, but according to her, we had to make sure I donʼt suffer infections and the like.

Interestingly, despite my HP being full Iʼm lightheaded as hell, hence me getting taxied by my lovely fourth woman. I guess all the blood I lost needs some time to be regenerated… or something like that. Iʼve been always cheating during my biology tests, I have no clue whatʼs going in on my body, especially now that Iʼm a primordial.

”Devil?” Lucille asked as she turned her head to glance back at me.

”Yes?”

”I got Warrior 10 and can now choose a specialization, but Iʼm uncertain…” Oh. That reminds me, Iʼm still a simple Warrior too. I think itʼs soon time I embrace the way of the saber. Iʼve been a bit on the edge because of its sealed nature, but I like it a lot even as it is, and Iʼve watched enough anime to know that it will be OP once itʼs unsealed. 𝙍Ἀ₦ọВĚs̩

”Whatʼs there to think about? Iʼm sure you got an axe-wielder one. Axeman was it I think?”

”Yes, but thereʼs another one! I think it might be good, too.”

”Spit it out already, old lady. I donʼt have all day.”

”Hmph! Says the guy whoʼs busy daydreaming on my back. Anyhow, itʼs Berserker.”

I couldnʼt help but have my eyes flutter wide open. Thatʼs a badass-sounding class for sure. ”Is it one of those rage ones? Jump into the fray and hope for the best?”

”Yes… Itʼs a bit scary. The lower my HP is, the more durable I become and the more blood I shed the higher my Agility and Strength stats get, but it says my mind will be affected and it will be hard for me to run away from any opponents who dare challenge my supremacy on the field of battle.

Also, itʼs not a tank class, so I donʼt think it would fit what we need now as a team… It even has a penalty for wearing heavy armor. Says all bonus stats are reduced by 50% for heavy armor and 25 for medium.”

Yikes. That means she needs to run around in leather armor like a barbarian or suffer penalties. For now she sure as hell wonʼt be doing any of that. Before I could respond I saw her glance around nervously while embarrassingly coughing into her palm, ”and that I get a 10% bonus to my base stats if I wear no light armor, and 25% if Iʼm naked or in underwear...”

”Just from your tone, I can easily tell what your heart tells you to do. Go ahead, become a Berserker. We will get a proper tanker as soon as possible. Your bloodthirsty axe would be wasted on a tank anyway. As for your stat booster ʼattireʼ... Weʼll talk about it later.

For now, you remain in your heavy armor.”

The eyes through her visor glowed energetically, ”Thanks! I love you, baby!”
