Chapter 119: Chapter 118

[Third Person's PoV]

All seven developed an image in their heads. They dropped to the floor on all fours, shedding tears while banging their fists on the floor.

"Why! I was supposed to be the one that got to bear the Lord's first child!" they all cried simultaneously, tears streaming down their faces in their imagination.

But all they could do was watch with stunned expressions and mouths agape. "She's pregnant with the Master's first child," they muttered in a trance. If it weren't for the bulging stomach, they wouldn't have believed it.

Shadow ignored them for now and focused solely on Aurora, waiting for her to answer his question. She pouted while bashfully pressing both her index fingers together and looking down toward the ground.

"Hormones," she said shyly, looking up and smirking.

But Shadow continued to look at her unamused. "First things first," he said as he reached the top of her head.

Aurora was initially confused before feeling her spirit being separated from Adelphi, causing her to return to her normal appearance with Adelphi's stomach shrinking back in place.

Adelphi rapidly started to blink as she got her bearings together and slowly turned to look at Shadow and Aurora, who was softly levitating off the ground.

She wanted to scream out but felt Shadow's pressure bearing down on her, causing her to kneel with the others and keep her mouth shut. All she could do was blankly stare toward Aurora's stomach.

"I'm going to revive you, alright?" Shadow asked, causing Aurora to become slightly confused but nodding her head toward the end, believing Shadow wouldn't do anything harmful.

Shadow's hands gained a golden glow as he used the mana of life to bring her back to life. Even the baby was now inside her actual stomach as Shadow used all of his abilities to ensure everything was alright.

After checking, he nodded his head and looked at Aurora with a serious expression. "Now explain."

Aurora opened and closed her hands as she examined her body before sighing and rubbing the side of her stomach. "Due to my pregnancy, my emotions have been heightened. Since I haven't been pregnant before, I don't know if this is true, but I believe it was a worst-case scenario for me since it was my spirit that was pregnant, which is a very sensitive place. Thus, my hormones were affecting me more.

One of those heightened emotions was bloodlust. I wanted to fight. It was like my whole being demanded a fight to satisfy my urges, so I saw my opportunity and took it, and then you appeared, and you know the rest," Aurora explained while looking away shyly.

Shadow sighed and retracted his Conqueror's Haki as he started to relax more than before. He then felt his shadow move around frantically, causing him to take a peek.

He saw Tank and Beru linked in arms, running in circles celebrating, which caused Shadow to inwardly chuckle before casting his gaze back to the outside world.

Seeing that their master was more relaxed, Delta jumped and hugged Shadow's leg with tears in her eyes. "Bossu~" she called out sadly, looking up at him with puppy dog eyes. "Can I be next? Let's build the greatest pack this world has ever seen. We will make 100 puppies together."

The others wanted to join in and object, vying for the spot next, but Shadow just gave them a look, a look that said, 'Not now,' causing them to grumble as they understood there was a time and place for everything.

Shadow sighed as he started patting her wolf ears.

"I have a question," Aurora said, raising her hand slightly. Shadow nodded in acknowledgment, which prompted her to ask, "I was a spirit, a mere memory of the past. How is it possible to bring me back to life, much less get me pregnant?"

"Remember how you were about to dissipate?" Shadow asked before continuing, "To keep you anchored for a bit longer, I gave you some of my mana, which had the elements of life in it. That amount of life energy mixed with my sperm ended up with the result of what's in your stomach at the moment."

"I see…" Aurora muttered, understanding what Shadow was trying to say.

"We have a lot to talk about between us," Shadow said seriously. Aurora nodded in agreement, happy to see Shadow not upset with the idea of being a parent, which secretly solved one of Aurora's greatest turmoil.

She was scared Shadow would demand to abort it or that she would have had to raise the child by herself, but seeing how serious he was taking the matter and how he was angered when she was about to fight Elisabeth, she knew she had nothing to worry about.

"But first, let me solve this little crisis so we could move on," Shadow said as he slowly moved toward Elisabeth, who was standing back up.

She summoned a scythe from her blood and swung it toward Shadow with a crazed look in her eyes.

Shadow casually created a sword from his slime and blocked her attack before closing the distance and kneeing her in the stomach, sending her flying back away from everyone and into the sky.

Shadow flew toward Elisabeth, who sent a flying crescent of blood toward him.

Shadow covered his fist in Haki before using internal destruction, causing it to shatter like glass.

Unexpectedly, Shadow appeared in front of her, creating a beautiful image by the moon. Shadow was holding Elisabeth's chin with a smirk while pressing the tip of his sword to her neck.

While Elisabeth had the point of her scythe toward Shadow's neck, anyone could tell at just a glance that Shadow had the upper hand.

Shadow continued smirking until he whispered,

"Atomic Dispellment."

Surprisingly, everyone could hear him perfectly fine before they were both surrounded in a purple color. Soon it started expanding until it covered the entire moon, dyeing it with Shadow's power.

Like glass shattering, the zombies and ghouls' frenzied states started going away, causing them to return to normal.

Slowly, Elisabeth opened her closed eyes, gaining a confused look as she was in Shadow's arm as they floated by the moon.

"So how are you feeling?" Shadow asked with a smile.

Elisabeth started to look at Shadow for a bit, "Please release me."

Shadow nodded and did just that, appearing in front of everyone and releasing her.

When she got to the ground, she nodded toward Shadow, expressing her gratitude. "Thank you for saving me from my frenzied state. I appreciate it."

Shadow just nodded, while Mary came forth and knelt toward Elisabeth. "My lady! I'm glad to see you look well."

Shadow looked at them for a bit before saying, "Don't leave yet. I have something to discuss with you guys as well."

But Shadow still needed to do something first. He stepped forward and slightly spread his arms, causing his frame to gain a golden aura, creating a perfect mixture with his dark coloring.

He closed his eyes as he held up two fingers close to his face, and a small magic circle started appearing on top of his two fingers.

Shadow slowly raised the fingers higher, causing the magic circle to grow until it covered the entire lawless town.

Once again, in a whispering tone that everyone could hear, Shadow muttered,

"Atomic Resurrection."

Everyone who was presumably killed by the ghouls and zombies started to come back alive, confusing a lot of people. The only people Shadow didn't resurrect were the vampires and the fat older man who was abusing Marie.


Chapter 120: chapter 119

[Third Person's PoV]

Shadow turned towards Elisabeth, "Join Shadow Garden… you are looking for a place where vampires and humans can coexist, right? Then there is no better place like Shadow Garden. We have a place where it's always night. If you are scared of ever going on a frenzy again, don't be…"

Shadow looked towards the girls; they immediately understood the message. They flared their magic power, causing Elisabeth's and Mary's necks to drip with cold sweat.

"Since they will be powerful enough to stop you…" Shadow extended his hand towards Elisabeth. "So what do you say, would you join us?"

Mary didn't say anything and waited for her master to speak, although she wanted to object since Elisabeth is the progenitor so she shouldn't be under someone. She knew it wasn't her place to make such decisions.

Elisabeth looked at Shadow with a serious expression. "Tell me, why do you want to help us? What do you gain by helping us? You already showed that you're strong, even your subordinates are stronger than us, so why? And I don't even know what your organization does. You can't really expect me to just accept."

Shadow nodded his head, understanding where she was coming from. "It's because I pity you."

His answer shocked her and Mary to the core. "What!?" Mary growled. But Delta growled louder, baring her fangs.

"GRRRR"

Mary shrank back as she knew she wasn't a match for her due to her earlier display.

Elisabeth looked at Shadow with a displeased look, but before she could say anything about it, Shadow raised a hand to stop her from speaking further.

"Hear me out first before you say anything else. The act of pity is to feel sorry for what another person has experienced. I truly feel sorry for what you went through. You accomplished your dream, you had your perfect utopia where humans and vampires coexisted, but because of your subordinate, you ended up going on a frenzy and destroying what you worked so hard for with your very own hands."

Shadow saw Elisabeth's lips start to quiver slightly as she lowered her head. Shadow sighed as he put a hand on her head and started patting it.

Mary wanted to protest but decided that it was best not to. She knew what her master went through and understood her pain.

"If that isn't something to pity, I don't know what is. As for the matter regarding our organization…" Shadow put a finger by his glabella and slowly started extracting a string of his memories which contained the information every person gets when finding out about Shadow Garden and what their organization does.

He pressed his finger towards Elisabeth, which caused her to go into a trance as she viewed the memories, causing Mary to look at her with worry.

After a few seconds, Elisabeth started rapidly blinking, reconfiguring herself. "I see… to think such an organization existed."

'If such an organization learned about me and I'm alone with just Mary, I doubt I would know peace…' she thought before studying Shadow once more, causing her to sigh.

"Very well," she said as she took Shadow's hand. "Thank you for taking us in and helping us out in our time of need."

Shadow nodded his head with a smile, having completed one of his goals. Shadow then looked back and saw how the other members of Shadow Garden all had downcast expressions, which caused him to sigh.

He didn't even care if his image was tainted at the moment; he was a husband before anything else, so he started to comfort them.

"Treat this as a learning experience, so when we have kids together you would know what to do. Plus, who says you wouldn't be a mother to my daughter? You're my wives; it should be obvious by this point."

Aurora smiled as she rubbed her stomach softly, while Yukime felt like she shouldn't be there in the first place.

"We're sorry, my lord, we're just upset at not being the first one to bear your child," Alpha said with a smile as she felt happy at the fact he was taking his time to console them.

"We shouldn't be sad or that much upset. We should be happy. After all, it's a child of our lord; it should be something we should be celebrating!" Gamma announced with her hands in the air and an excited expression.

Which caused the others to nod in agreement. Even Zeta, who was normally uncooperative with the others most of the time, agreed with Gamma.

Yukime then sighed, "Since the matter of the Crimson Tower is already taken care of, I guess it's time for me to take my leave," she announced as she started walking away.

'Go to her, Yukihime. Show yourself to her when she's alone. I don't want to interfere between the two of you.'

Yukihime grew tears in her eyes and nodded her head as her shadow rushed towards Yukime's own shadow.

'Thank you, my liege, for everything,' Yukihime sincerely expressed as Yukime left through the door, causing Shadow to just smile in their direction.

"Is everyone ready to leave?" Shadow asked, since he didn't have anything more to do in Lawless Town, causing the others to nod their heads with a serious expression.

Shadow surrounded all their bodies with his shadow powers and they were all immediately transported to Nightingale.

As they arrived in the throne room, Elisabeth and Mary looked around in amazement. "Woah," they both muttered, looking at the large room.

"Beta, I leave the arrangement of their accommodations to you," Shadow instructed as he went and sat on the throne while removing his slime suit and returning to being Cid.

Beta bowed. "It shall be done, my lord." She went behind Rose, who hadn't moved a muscle since finding out Cid was having a child, and started pushing her out while turning towards Elisabeth and Mary. "Follow me."

Mary and Elizabeth looked at each other with a weary expression and followed closely behind.

Cid turned towards Gamma and smiled. "You know, you're right. The fact that I'm going to be a father should be celebrated."

Cid used Ruler's Authority and softly lifted Aurora up and brought her to his lap, taking her by complete surprise.

"Can I leave the matter of throwing a huge party to you? Let's celebrate the creation of a new life," Cid announced while softly putting a hand on Aurora's hand that was softly caressing her stomach, causing her to smile.

Gamma nodded excitedly. "It shall be done, my lord!" She said before trying to rush out, which only caused her to trip and roll all the way towards the door, hitting it face first, causing the others to slightly wince.

Gamma shakily raised a thumbs up. "I-I'm okay," she said with an equally shaky voice.

Cid covered his face and sighed in amusement. "Alpha, as always I count on you to supervise them."

Alpha was at first confused as he only sent Gamma to do it and didn't see the need to supervise the others, which Cid noticed her confusion and explained while smiling at the others.

"I can already tell you guys are also very excited and want to participate in the organization of the party, right?"

The others rapidly nodded their heads with an excited expression, to which Cid nodded. "Go ahead, but be sure to follow Gamma and Alpha's lead."

They rapidly nodded their heads before they all rushed out after Cid dismissed them.

Alpha grabbed one of Gamma's arms and turned towards Adelphi, who went back to being Claire. "Help me out."

They both took hold of her and slowly dragged her out while her feet dragged along the floor.

Seeing this, Aurora just chuckled and had a look of amusement.

"Well, now that we're alone, we have a lot to talk about between the two of us. Like how are you feeling? Are you nervous, excited? We also have to discuss the name of our child, and a lot of other things," Cid said, looking at Aurora with a smile.

Aurora cupped his cheek with a hand. "Thank you…" she said softly while tears started pooling in her eyes.

Cid grew confused and tilted his head into her hand. "For what?"

She smiled while caressing both his cheek and her stomach, tears streaming down her face as she continued smiling. "For giving me a reason to live…"
