Allen smiled faintly.

His current appearance was completely different from his original appearance. Coupled with his strange dark grey skin, he looked extremely intimidating.

Even Dakna can’t help but be affected.

However, Laura was different. She seems to like Allen’s current appearance compared to his usual human form.

The only difference from before was that there was no surging of negative emotions such as bloodlust and domineering presence, probably due to the Blood of the World Tree’s effect, pacifying everything inside of him.

Allen’s wings move and spread open. Several black feathers then fell to the bed.

“Take the feathers, that would be a gift from me for your new appearance,” Allen smiled and muttered. He also urged Dakna to have some– though she really doesn’t need it after all she was originally a dragon. But Dakna wouldn’t refuse Allen’s gift.

Laura happily collected the black feathers, in a total of 7 black feathers; Laura gave Dakna three while she kept four of it.

“My feathers are good materials for Alchemy but there was one convenient ability it also possesses,” Allen started as he lifted Laura and put her in front of him, facing her back on him, he hugged her.

“Whenever you stabbed a feather behind your back, for one day, you will sprout wings just like mine.” He said.

“Really!!?” Laura asked, enjoying Allen’s embrace. Ah! What happiness for a servant!

She was so so so fortunate!!

She can die at any moment now!!

“But remember, when used it will disappear after a day… can you revert your devil transformation?”

Laura thought for a moment and then she nodded, “I think I can.”

“Do it,”

Laura closed her eyes and gradually her horns and tail retroceded inside her body until they completely disappeared.

She really can… Allen couldn’t help but feel a little complicated. Why can’t he do the same…?

Dakna behind them was still staring at Allen’s transformation. She couldn’t help but marvel just how can he possess many transformations.

He was human, of course, that’s understandable but at the same time, he was also a Dragon and now, a demon.

Truly fascinating!

She started touching and feeling Allen’s wings. Soft and smooth and although there some bones on it, it seems like it was fragile that it can break if she ever put all her strength in her grip. The feathers were also very beautiful, glossy black color.

Allen continued stroking Laura’s head as if he was spoiling a little kid – no, his lovely pet. For Allen, Laura was indeed one. A pet.

Laura didn’t know what Allen had thought of her as she enjoyed Allen spoiling her, completely unlike that of a servant.

However, at this moment, "You finally came, my love,"

Allen puckered a smile as his gaze turned towards the open window.

“You sure are enjoying yourself,” A beautiful and enchanting voice reverberated inside the entire room.

Hearing this, Dakna and Laura immediately jump out from the bed and stood in front of Allen.

Dakna remained her vigilance while Laura instantly turned into her devil form, her expression serious and filled with killing intent. Black shadows wiggled behind her.

“What good servants,” Alkrasha slowly descended and passed through the open window. She then cast a beautiful and relieved smile at Allen.

"From your appearance, looks like you haven't been injured much, my dear husband." Alkrasha’s cheerful words echoed in the surrounding.

"I wouldn’t kick the bucket easily nor would I let myself be devoured by something ridiculous as darkness," Allen replied.

“Alkrasha, what took you so long?”

Seeing that Alkrasha probably wasn’t an enemy, the two girl’s guard immediately lowered. They then gave Allen a quick glance. Allen muttered "Its fine," as he laughed to himself. Looks like the monster in front of them was really was really not an enemy.

As the two women felt reassured, Dakna and Laura step aside and gave Alkrasha a subtle smile. Dakna felt that this woman was certainly extraordinary. A Monster King…?

“I have already come as fast as I could, you know. And in my opinion, it’s quite fast…”

Alkrasha ignored the two women and walked directly towards Allen. Her beautiful face still wore that usual lovely smile.

As she was walking towards Allen, at this moment, woosh! A black tentacle-like thing speared through her.

Without any hesitation, that sharp black tentacle aimed directly at Alkrasha’s heart.

"What!?"

Greatly surprised, Alkrasha tried to dodge.

“What was that for?” She frowned as she felt the tentacle brushed past her. "I never thought, you would attack me so suddenly..."

"What are you talking about? Without the intent to kill, how could it pose a threat otherwise? Besides, I believe my love can easily avoid an attack of that level. It's very ordinary after all."

Completely unworried as a result, Allen explained without a care. He then stared at her with a fearless grin. “I’ve become strong, you know,” he muttered.

There were no ill feelings despite attacking Alkrasha and the Insect Queen felt that. She realized that Allen seemed to be just boasting his power up.

It’s like as if he was just showing off to her, ‘See, I learned a new trick,’ something like that and indeed there was no killing intent from that attack a moment ago.

“However, that is that and this is this,” Alkrasha complained. “You haven’t seen me for a long time and yet the first greeting you gave me is by attacking me? So barbarous,” she then stepped back a few steps and then Allen and the two women instantly felt that her aura changed as if saying ‘Then, bring it on~’ while returning back a fearless smile.

"Really, how can you have changed so much when we only hadn't met for a short time..." Alkrasha muttered bitterly.

There was no hesitation nor that of a stern and strict Hero character - In fact, he had now become as free as a fleeting cloud. Just what happened to him? Is this the result of the 'fell'?

But Alkrasha didn't intend to worry so much. It was already a miracle that Allen hadn't been affected by the 'fell' as worse as she imagined. As long as he had maintained his sanity and reason, Alkrasha wouldn't care much about it.

She had always believed that Allen would be fine - and she wasn't disappointed! Indeed, she didn't choose wrong! Her husband was one of a kind!!

Even a curse like the 'fell' wasn't enough to condemn him!

Allen’s grin turned into an excited smile. “That’s why I love you,”

Bang! Plasma erupted from Allen’s body and in a blink of an eye, he reappeared in front of Alkrasha, his clenched fist already inches away from her chest.

Alkrasha immediately moved her arms to block Allen’s fist and a beat later, she was sent crashing into the wall and sent flying outside.

Allen didn’t pause for a moment and followed, emitting an oppressive aura as he jumped out the window...

Dakna and Laura were surprised by the sudden change of event and immediately followed the two Monster Kings.

However, they didn’t join the fight as they flew to the side, choosing a place with a great view. It seemed that they just want to watch the battle.

Allen’s room was directly facing the courtyard of the barracks and so, the moment he flew out the window, he immediately landed in a vast garden.

Alkrasha’s figure had already disappeared from his eyes. But just then, Alkrasha reappeared from behind, her hand in the form a sharp spear.

The two women; Laura and Dakna, who were watching everything let out gasps of alarm. However, immediately after the moment, the figure of the Insect Queen emerged from thin air: Alkrasha’s sharp limb stabbed towards Allen but it was immediately held firmly by Allen’s left hand.

“No blind spots, remember,” Allen’s cheerful voice rang out and then he rotated, giving Alkrasha a roundhouse kick. Alkrasha rose her own leg and block Allen’s leg.

Then, Allen became a golden flash while Alkrasha turned into silver flash, creating countless shockwave one after another.

Bang! Boom!
