Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 264: Peaceful Aftermath

Staring at Boss, I didn't even need to remove my sword from his chest as the miasma quickly spread to the rest of his body, slowly turning him into dust that was carried off into the wind; it didn't even take a full minute before he had mostly vanished, only the bottom half of his legs remained.

'Freaky.' Thought Alexander lightly as he gazed at Boss's legs while lowering his sword and plopping onto the ground.

With the battle finally reaching its end, I lay sprawled on the ground in a star, using this chance to peacefully regain my mana after using that skill since it had consumed roughly an eighth of my mana reserves, and considering I had less than half from before we had even arrived because I didn't get chance to rest the first time, I was pretty low on mana.

'All this just help a woman I'm trying to court; what was that word woman used in my past life? Am I a simp?' Thought Alexander with a wry smile as he gazed into the clear sky, only to release a deep sigh while slowly standing up.

Standing up, I approached Vanye, who was lying on the ground, heavily wounded from her earlier battle with Boss; though, adding to the fact she was mana exhausted, it was impressive she was still conscious.

"You're not going to hate me for that as well, are you?" Asked Alexander lightly as he sat beside Vanye while lifting her head onto her lap, causing her to silently stare at him before eventually shaking her head.

Feeling my face twitch as to why it took her so long to reply as if she was seriously thinking, I reached into my space pouch and grabbed a vial of ichor before feeding it to Vanye, whose wounds began to rapidly heal while some color returned to her pale face; however, while my ichor could head wounds and break curses, it couldn't recover mana, so there was nothing to do there, though at least she was no longer in pain, just really exhausted.

"Thanks." "Anytime." Said Vanye and Alexander, respectively, as they gazed at each other while the former flashed a faint smile.

Removing Vanye's helmet, I gazed at her beautiful face for the second time, and coupled with her smile, it was honestly hard to find a woman who could compete when it came to her beauty.

'Oh, I love Yuki, Michelle, Lazuli, Matser, Zartha, and Trina, but they even lack a little when compared to Vanye; the beauty of an Elf is unfair. Objectively speaking, of course! All my women are equally beautiful in my eyes.' Thought Alexander lightly as he whistled in awe while gazing at the faintly smiling Vanye, her long red hair flowing in the end, enhancing the beauty of her red eyes.

'Eh, you love us, Master!?' Remarked Trina with sparkling eyes as she clutched her hands together and gazed into the sky while Zartha raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, I love you two, just not romantically like my woman; the love is familial... Unless Zartha wants to tell me how I can get her a real body." Said Alexander with a faint smile as he closed his eyes and focused on his heart and brain, causing him to appear within Trina and Zartha's personal dimension, standing directly opposite of them.

"C'mon, Zartha; no need to keep the truth hidden from me. One of these days, I'll find a way, and then the two of us will live happily ever after." Added Alexander with a cheeky smile as he picked Zartha up by her waist before spinning in a circle, prompting her to stare coldly at him in disgust.

"It simply isn't possible, Master; I'm the sword, and without me, the sword will cease to exist. Unless you wish to give up one of your precious swords, I can never have a physical body." Stated Zartha calmly despite her facial expression, causing Alexander to sigh as he gently set her down.

"Damn, I really do love you two as swords... But I must admit, I might love you better as a real woman; it's so unfair that you have such a lascivious body, and it can't be properly loved." Said Alexander softly with a playful smirk as he openly ogled Zartha's voluptuous body that could rival Lily's, only for Trina to suddenly get in between them.
