Taming my Monster Girl Harem from Scratch - Chapter 423 Ember is Evolving!

Chapter 423 Ember is Evolving!

Why did the energy turn fivefold? Although I was curious as to the reason, I was also not given enough time to think about it.

“—!”

A silent scream escaped my lips as the pain from the energy feedback hit me. Blood spurted out like a fountain from all over my body, as if all my blood vessels had burst at the same time. This is dangerous, definitely! My body wouldn’t be able to take in this much energy!

I quickly activated the combination flames, trying to control the energy that was rampaging inside my body. However, a problem suddenly appeared.

*SHUUUU!*

With a hissing sound, the flames went out!

‘I ran out of bad karma?!’

I should still have a bit left! How? Why did this happen?!

I was beginning to panic, as the absorbed energy from the combination flames didn’t even reach half of it.

Still, I didn’t give up. I quickly tried to emulate the mana absorption effect of the Flames of Regression, the same technique that I used to help the girls back in Namia’s kingdom.

My vision blurred, but I felt the skill I emulated take effect. The energy rampaging inside my body slowly got extracted, leaving my energy circuits and coming outside. However, it wasn’t fast enough.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at N0v3l.B1n.

*BLEURGH!*

I started vomiting buckets of blood. The damage to my internal organs during that short instant was high!

“M-Master?!”

Ember, who finished her evolution the fastest among the girls, quickly noticed my current condition. She ran to my side and, without hesitation, used her Domain.

A space filled with void energy spread, and everything that was within it started to rapidly recover. Not only was the energy that was rampaging within me quickly leaving my body, but even my injured internal organs and everything else healed instantly!

“Ember…”

I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t think she could master her domain as soon as she hit the 9th stage! As I was looking at Ember, I suddenly noticed an anomaly.

“…?”

The energy she extracted using her domain… was getting absorbed by her instead?!

“Oh no!”

I quickly ran to her side, touching her shoulder, but was forced to let go after getting electrocuted. She was covered in so much electrifying energy that it could now be confirmed visually!

“””Ember!”””

Everyone shouted at the same time, worry painted in their expressions.

Ember herself had her teeth grit tight, trying to bear down the pain. Her face slowly changed; from her eyes shut tight, it slowly opened, confusion drawn on her face.

“It’s not… painful?”

She muttered in confusion.

The energy, almost equivalent to five god-level essence crystals, was completely absorbed by Ember in moments! Furthermore, her expression didn’t show a hint of pain even after a few seconds passed.

“What’s going on…? Fatima, do you have any idea?”

Ember had already retracted her Domain, but the energy around her was still as dense as a fog. It was hard to even see her from within all those energy clouds.

Fatima frowned as she began thinking, but quickly shook her head sideways.

“Unfortunately, no. It’s also my first time seeing this phenomenon.”

“…”

Soon enough, Ember absorbed all the energy around her without a single change in her expression. She didn’t feel pain, nor did she suffer from Energy Overload. Furthermore, the energy within her rose to astounding levels.

“It’s like I’m seeing all the god tamers together at once…”

That’s five god-level essence crystals worth of energy! It was a mystery how Ember successfully absorbed everything!

*Thump!*

Suddenly, a loud, beating sound echoed.

*Thump!* *Thump!*

It repeated itself with a regular beat. It sounds like a heartbeat, for all I know.

“M-Master…”

Just as I was wondering where the sound was coming from, I heard Ember’s trembling voice. Worried, I quickly turned to her and saw an amazing scene.

“What the…?!”

Ember was now covered in golden particles of energy! It was as if what she absorbed earlier was converted, purified, and turned into this golden light show surrounding her!

Ember’s energy level was slowly normalizing. From the inflated one before to about barely twice as powerful as Igni’s energy. The released energy crystallized before her and started to revolve around her body as if satellites orbiting their planet.

A total of sixteen golden orbs.

As soon as all the energy she released had solidified, suddenly, her body released a bright flash of light.

“Don’t tell me…!”

Igni, who was watching the same scene as everyone else, quickly widened her eyes. I, too, had already noticed what was happening. It happened so suddenly, however, that I wasn’t even sure if this was just a false alarm.

Ember’s energy slowly condensed again, this time lowering to about the same as Igni’s. However, the purity of her energy was beyond comparison. Was it because slimes were efficient at extracting and refining energy? She was releasing a serene presence, as if I were looking at a literal goddess who had blessed this cursed realm with her presence.

“God level…”

I wondered if I was hearing things, so I turned to Ember and tried to appraise her. The thing I saw, however, surprised me.

“Goddess of Creation?!”

That sounds extravagant! If I didn’t know any better, I might’ve thought Ember was the God who created the world and the entire universe. Of course, I knew that it was related to her previous title, “Infinite Changes,” but wasn’t the change a little too drastic?

Anyway, I quickly checked the last two functions that just got unlocked.

Let’s see… God’s Master and… Sanctuary?

God’s Master is a passive that increases the intimidating air around the tamer, while the Sanctuary allows one to declare an area to be under their control. Furthermore, the tamer will gain absolute control over the entire territory under the sanctuary and every single non-living thing within it.

“It’s like activating creative mode in m*necra*t…”

I couldn’t help but compare.
