Supreme Monarch

Suddenly faced with the luscious figures of two world-class beauties laying beside him, Tyler found himself a little short on words as he was still processing the amazing scene before him. It was like something straight out of a male's fantasy which made him feel as though he was still sleeping and was having a wet dream.

Living in the same castle as so many beauties, this was something that was bound to happen and might even be considered healthy. However, his theory was completely shattered by Liz's soft yet worried voice as he supple fingers ran accross his body.

Tyler suddenly snapped awake from his dazed state as he instinctively mumbled a reply to her question without putting any thought into it.

"Huh? Right... I feel fine. There's no need to worry."

His words seems to have an immediate effect as her expression softened and a gentle smile blossomed on her perfect face as she slowly rested her head back on his chest with a relieved expression.

With Rain still holding him tightly not willing to pull away from him, Tyler struggled to maintain a straight face but the slight numbness he still felt in his body helped him control his natural reactions.

His insane body control also allowed him to maintain a steady heartbeat as he silently observe the situation. However—

Before Tyler's mind could wander further, he suddenly felt something move underneath the covers of his bed as his gaze sharpened and to his surprise, the two girls were not the only ones on his bed as the duvet that covered the lower parts of their bodies slowly warped as it budged up and a slender figure arose from underneath it.

'What... the hell was she doing there!?'

The person Tyler was looking at was the third world-class beauty to have grazed his eyes in this world, she had long lustrous, and silky blue hair that ran all the way down to the lower parts of her waist.

Her deep blue eyes were like the boundless sea, combined with her soft facial features and luscious curves, she was a beauty that wouldn't fail to turn the heads of all men with her matured allure that was quite different from both Liz and Rain.

Although she was currently dressed in only laced nightwear that failed miserably to hide much, she at the very least wasn't naked and the faint pure glow her body emitted showed that she was in the midst of using her abilities.

Tyler was yet again at a loss for words, not just because of what Erin was wearing or why she was there but also why he had failed to sense or feel her presence earlier, even without his Magic sense.

He hadn't even felt her body rubbed up against his which was a bit puzzling as the last he looked there was no one there so where the hell did she come from.

"I no longer sense any corruption within you, Lord Ty. I'm glad, it seems you've finally returned to normal. I'm also sorry I wasn't much help in treating you."

Although Erin looked a bit annoyed to be woken up so abruptly as she didn't seem as shy as she normally was around him, she also seemed quite relieved for some reason as her eyes also began to water as she spoke in a soft and reserved tone.

Her conflicting expression and words completely snapped Tyler out of his embarrassing thoughts as he realized something was a bit off about how these girls were behaving just from him passing out for a few hours. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

'Hey Uriel, exactly how long have I been asleep?'

Sensing that something was off. Tyler turned to the only one capable of answering his questions without judgement or at least she was.

[The original estimated time for Master's complete recovery from the previous dangerous levels of negative corruption was 37 days, 7 hours, 39 minutes, and 26 seconds.]

The moment he heard those monotonous words in his mind, Tyler's head completely went blank as he struggled to process the information he had just received.

'I'm sorry WHAT! I've been out for more than a month!? Are you kidding me!?'

At this point, perhaps passing out for months at a time shouldn't be so shocking and unnerving to him but still, he had already lost over a thousand years of his life which he was hoping to view as a good thing but that doesn't mean he wanted to experience it again so soon.

[Negative. That was only the original calculations without factoring in any outside interference as that would lead to an infinite possibility even from the most likely future predictions. However, due to the assistance of Erin, Liz, and Rain, the original estimate had been shortened significantly and Master's recovery had only taken, 6 days, 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 7 seconds.]

'Huh? So just 7 days?'

[Approximately, yes.]

'Then why the hell didn't you start with that!? What, are you trying to give me a heart attack.'

[...Sigh... That's impossible. Master's heart has no factor towards your health. As long as your soul is intact your body can always be recreated or regenerated. So all organs are unnecessary and only serves as a comfort to Master's human psyche.]

Sounding as though she had rolled her non existent eyes at him, Uriel casually explained the state of Tyler's body to him in the same way an adult would to a child.

'That is not a natural thing to say to your master.'

[...]

'Never mind. I was still out for almost a week when I thought it would only be a few hours. What hell happened?'

Sensing as though Uriel had given up on him, Tyler decided not to dwell on the situation else his feelings get hurt as he proceeded to find out more about his situation.

Apparently, his case of negative corruption was enough to kill even a celestial and even corrupt the soul. The only reason why he was still alive was that his soul was immortal and could not be destroyed which was why he would eventually be turned undead instead.

The fight with the undead king and the shadow king had taken a lot out of him as well but he still hadn't expected to be out for days much less a full month if Erin hadn't helped out with her skill.

The truth of the matter was the fused core of the undead king and the orb of death could not drain the negative energy out of him fast enough as it was deeply rooted which made the girls— who had come over to check up on him— fear for his life and panic after seeing him in such a vulnerable state.

As it turns out, Uriel was the one who had unlocked his doors for them as she had foresaw the future and taken the best course of action to quickly save his life.

Frankly speaking, in such a state where most of his defenses were down, he could've been easily assassinated by even a mortal being and although that would not actually kill him, it would cause his soul to take another thousand years or even longer to recover.

Knowing this, the girls couldn't afford to leave his side even though they were practically in the safest place in the world and protected by a practically impenetrable 5 layer barrier.

That was why they had decided to help his recovery by taking in some of the corruption into their very own bodies while having Erin purify them constantly before the corruption could take root within them and be impossible to purify just as it was with Tyler.

This was incredibly risky as they could end up in the same state as him if care wasn't taken. It also explained why he hadn't felt Erin's body on him because she had been in a semi-liquid or spiritual state to maintain constant purification on the two girls as well as him for practically a full week.

That meant, they most likely hadn't left his side since the first day he passed out. It also explained why they were naked and he was only wearing briefs but he truly hadn't expected them to go this far for him.

"Huh... Umm... L-Lord Ty, you must be numb from lying in the same spot for so long, I'll prepare a purifying bath for you. It should help your muscles relax."

Of course, it didn't take too long for Erin to fully awaken and seeing herself sitting on top of a half-naked Tyler, her face instantly turned bright red as she immediately found a reason to run away.

Before Tyler could even answer her, she had already jumped off the bed and Tyler could almost swear that he had heard a boing sound as she ran into his bath in embarrassment.

'Finally someone with a decent reaction. At least I'm not the only one slightly embarrassed.'

Tyler sighed tiredly as raised his upper body to sit upright on his bed which caused Rain and Liz to finally let go of him as he observed his body which was already returning to normal.

"Umm, darling what's wrong?"

Although Rain had released her tight grip on him, she had somehow still ended up sitting on his lap while Liz knelt on the bed behind him as they both currently stared at him with interest. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

"It's nothing, I was just looking for—"

Taking a look around, he finally spotted the item of his intrigue, the core of the undead king that had been fused with a curse Magic item and placed next to his head as a cloud of impurities swirled around the orb within the core of the Eldar Lich.

"How fascinating."

Tyler muttered as he studied the item, his eyes noticing the continuous absorption of negative energy from him even now.

"Oh right, you were looking for that. Erin appraisal results show that it was an abnormal core. As its not a beast core or Magic Crystal but had elements of a cursed item. I've read about cursed item before but this is the first time I'm seeing one myself."

Noticing his line of sight, Liz understood what he had been looking for and spoke first as she wrapped her arms around him from behind, not wanting to let him escape.

"Yeah, I hadn't seen one either. We did think it was the reason you weren't waking up but Erin said it was actually helping so we kept it close to you."

"I see... She must've pushed herself for me, at the very least I should thank her properly then."

Hearing Rain's words, Tyler could tell that Erin was going the extra mile to help him out whenever she could. Perhaps it was her way of repaying him back for reviving her source even when the things she had needed to do was something that took her out of her comfort zone.

"I'm sure there's no need for that. Just like us she is just happy to be of use to you my Lord. Still, hearing those words from you might just be what she need to stabilize her emotions, it's been quite difficult for her since she lost her connection with Albert and she has retreated into herself even more, probably unsure on how to proceed."

Liz spoke softly into Tyler's ears as she leaned forward into him with a somewhat somber expression, firmly pressing her chest agaist his back. Causing rain to puff a cheeks a little but chose to stay quiet given the current situation.

"So that's it."
