Undead Beast Master: Living Solely for My Desires-Chapter 251: The Weight of Desire

Zaroth and Midnight were able to see what Luna was pointing at thanks to Darkgaze, but that wasn't the case for the others.

"What is it? What do you see?" Roran asked forcefully, he was having a bad feeling about this whole situation as if they shouldn't be here.

"Elysia is fighting… something." Midnight spoke, not shifting her gaze from the sky.

"This doesn't tell me anything! Zaroth? Zaroth!" Zack joined in as he began to shake the man, but it was no use, Zaroth was already too far gone.

Desire—Zaroth had so many. Some were easily controlled, others were harder than most.

He even had his desires tampered with once as he was under some kind of spell.

And yet everything paled in comparison.

His body grew hotter, his eyes narrowed, his mind became empty as a single thought came into his mind.

He had experienced what it was like feeling the desires of his beasts… but they all paled to Luna.

Kill the gods

He didn't know why.

Kill the gods

But when he was looking at the weird creature with two sets of white wings and some kind of reddish body.

Kill the gods

Something deep in him told him that he should kill.

Kill the gods

This wasn't a desire that he could control, this was Luna's desire.

Kill the gods

And if he felt it at this moment in time, it meant one thing.

He was looking at a god.

And that meant Luna's desire was beginning to take hold… Yet that wasn't the whole truth. It would be a lie to say it was.

There was a second desire—one even stronger than Luna's.

And it was his.

What was his relationship with Elysia?

He liked her—No… he loved her.

He desired her.

In his eyes, she was his.

And now… now she was fighting.

It was hard to see from this distance, but from the looks of it, she was losing. Badly.

If she lost—she would die.

And that meant Zaroth would lose her.

He would lose something important.

Something dear.

Someone was trying to take her from him.

And that was the greatest sin anyone could commit in front of Zaroth—a man who had already lost so much. A man who had so much stolen from him.

Whoever dared try to steal what mattered to him…

Would die.

No exceptions.

No compromise.

BOOM!

An ear-shattering sound made the ground shake as more and more battles were happening all around the vicinity of the castle.

The heads of the families were steadily cutting down enemy soldiers, but progress was slow—there were simply too many.

And, unluckily, as one of these heads was searching for more enemy soldiers, he froze as he saw his nephew.

Alexander's mind entered overdrive. The current scene was chaotic, so there were bound to be accidents, right? So him killing Zack here and now couldn't be used against him in the future.

Zack gritted his teeth as he saw his uncle approach him.

"I guess one of us dies today," he muttered, commanding the blood around him to harden into crimson armor, a massive sword forming in his right hand.

Roran's eyes darkened as well. He knew that Zack was going to have a hard time fighting against his uncle, so after taking a sigh, his eyes shined.

And dozens of swords began to manifest around him.

"I will never give you what's mine," Zaroth muttered, as if under a spell, before commanding Luna to transform.

Her eyes shined as her body expanded, and within an instant, a massive skeletal dragon took form where she had been standing.

Thankfully, the darkness of the night and the chaos surrounding them meant that few would notice the giant dragon that had just appeared.

"I will never give you what's mine," he repeated, stepping swiftly onto Luna's back as she soared into the sky, her sights locked on the strange, inhuman creature.

"Zaroth!" Midnight shouted both in shock and worry as she began to spring forward. Unlike Zaroth, she didn't want to use everything just yet, so rather than summoning her wings, she ran forward.

"Lily, go!" Roran commanded. "If Elysia is fighting somebody, then it must be Draconis! This is your chance for your revenge!"

Lily threw him a quick look, then sprinted forward following Midnight.

"Oh? You two think that you will be able to face me?" Alexander mocked as he took a few steps forward.

"Roran," Zack spoke coldly under his bloodied helmet. He tried to sound calm but in truth was scared out of his wits. "Thank you for helping me."

Roran scoffed as even more swords began to materialize around him. "Don't mention it."

*****

Entering Emily's room, the thing threw a glance at the girl. She was sleeping peacefully in her bed.

When the explosions began, she ran up to him for comfort and finally, after what felt like eternity, the thing managed to calm her down.

It felt conflicted for a few seconds, a part of it really didn't want to leave the girl.

But there was no choice. Taking a piece of paper, it quickly wrote a goodbye letter and put it next to Emily's bed.

It hadn't just stayed in one place all this time as it knew this moment would eventually come, so it had quite a lot of money, leaving them to the girl.

The thing also had found a woman that was willing to take care of her.

With a sigh, the thing exited from the building as it gazed at the sky.

The destruction was happening quite far, but that didn't matter. Even from this distance, it was able to feel it.

The heart of a primordial demon was being used as a vessel to support an inhuman creature.

The thing saw its chance to take advantage of it and enter its body

And once it did, it would evolve.

With that, it sprinted toward the action.

It left behind the life of a human father and Emily. Now, it was time to act.

*****

Amara was enjoying the spectacle, most of her errants were finished, so she could take it easy.

"Sister."

Hearing a familiar voice, Amara turned around only to see Sofia. She looked different from the last time she had seen her.

She appeared more serious, more cold, more deadly.

Amara smiled slightly, "Sofia? How did you know that I was here?" she asked.

Sofia didn't show much reaction as she unsheathed her sword. "A very knowledgeable friend told me where you were most likely to appear, so I guess I have to thank her for that."

Amara's smile dropped as her eyes began to shine with gold. "So do I presume you are here to kill me?"

Without saying anything, Sofia began her attack. And Amara responded in kind.

The sister fight had begun.

*****

"Oh, this is a beautiful sight, is it not?" the Spectral Warden laughed coldly, watching the destruction unfold around.

"This isn't some kind of game!" David spat, irritated.

How the hell did he find himself in this kind of situation?!

Before he could fully register what was happening, he felt somebody tugging his shirt.

He turned his head to look at the unfamiliar woman.

A blonde hair and a white mask that was covering her whole face.

"Are you David?" Vera asked, seemingly unbothered about the destruction that was happening all around them.

David raised an eyebrow. Who was this strange woman and what did she want from him? Was she an enemy?

"Yes, what do you want?" he answered harsher than he intended.

"It's about your sister. I have to guide you to her."
