Zell's body vanished from the sight of Freyja; her instincts screamed to dodge as her hips twisted, leaning back, before a powerful black arm smashed into her chest, causing her lungs to contract as she was sent flying into the distance.
However, he wasn't finished as he vanished with a booming sound, using Velos to materialise above her body, still shooting through the air, before smashing her into the ground with a loud bang, forming a huge crater, as she lay at the bottom, her lips bloody and a few of her bones broken.
Woosh!
His body was forced to dodge, as several blades of black energy were shot towards him, his balance off, as a huge black sword sliced across his chest, followed by a graceful woman who attacked him with a flurry of slashes from her twin swords, forcing Zell to retreat several times with his Velos ability.
A tiny ball of flame was being created in his mouth as he spat towards the women who shot the energy swords, creating numerous explosions in quick succession, which caused them to fall back before their bodies disappeared, leaving behind two black lumps on the ground.
"What did you do?" He asked, spinning around to face Freyja, who had been waiting for this moment, her long blonde hair flowing down her hips, looking at him with her piercing blue eyes, the snake tattoos glowing slightly as her fists began to shoot towards his body like a tornado, knocking him back.
"I'm just getting started." She said, landing gracefully upon the ground while tensing her muscles, lowering her stance and preparing to continue.
Zell could feel the other women starting to regroup; as Evelyn stood in the air, her body oozing with purple energy, Alizée stood behind him with her mother Elisé and her dual swords.
'I love fighting my women! Oh~ how strong you all are, but don't think you've won!'
He ran forward once more, dodging one of her attacks, before grabbing both of her hands and pulling her up close, feeling her muscles tense underneath his grip as they continued to fight, until Alizée ran at him, swinging her sword in a downwards arc that would have decapitated him if it hit him directly.
However, he quickly dodged to the side, his knee smashing into her side with such speed and accuracy that her eyes widened before feeling several ribs breaking under the force, causing her to crumble to her knees.
His foot then wrapped around to kick her face; all the while, he carried Freyja like a huge shield, blocking the blasts of energy from Evelyn with her back, the smell of blood and flesh filling his nose, before tossing her at the approaching Elisé.
"One down."
The brunette woman dodged as the blonde woman flew over her head and crashed into the ground, hitting her shoulder against a rock before rolling onto her back and groaning, her left hand clutching her stomach; Freyja tried to get up but then felt her legs completely crack from the inside, falling to the ground in agony.
"So heartless, Elisé!" Zell joked before rushing to face her.
Elisé held her swords out, facing east and west, pointing downwards, as she was bathed in silver light and wonderous wings just like her daughters, a beautiful fairy mother.
At the same time, Zell grasped his simple black sword, nothing special, a mere basic greatsword created with his gauntlet's power.

They clashed with a loud thud, Zell's blade cutting into Elisé's.
However, she blocked the blow with her twin blades, only her shoulders slightly cut as his blade snaked deeper; his face came close to her ear before she heard him whisper.
"Flambur!"
Boom! A huge flame blasted out from his open palm; Elisé had no defence as she was sent flying into the distance, her body filled with a black flame as she rolled along the ground, finally stopping.
She coughed violently, spitting out blood as Zell approached her slowly, his right fist clenched tightly, a strange look on his face.
"Oh, you look a little hot. Have something to chill you down."
His body vanished using Velos, as countless purple energy swords dug into the ground of the forest, like a farmer developing new land, before he stood with a palm to the forehead of Elisé, who still didn't realise what had happened fully.
"Glafreza." His cold voice sounded as a frigid wind blasted her body before freezing her arms and leaving her unable to move.
"Two down," Zell whispered as he twirled around, catching the powerful slash of Alizée her demonic form's power causing him to move slightly; as her sword bounced upwards, his sword lunged forward after twisting his wrist and piercing her chest as she showed an agonising look, trying to use a fire spell in retaliation.
'Better than your mother, good girl. Let's reward you later.'
He moved quickly to dodge, kicking her feet out from under her, sending her flying into a tree, her head crashing into a branch, her body falling off, her arm trembling as she slid down, watching him with a single eye, as blood oozed from her head and body.
"Three down."
Zell smiled warmly when he saw Evelyn, who looked as though she had been beaten to death, yet still able to stand, her eyes closed, her body pulsating with purple light, having been weakened.
"Why are you so tired? I haven't even hit you yet."
Evelyn remained silent, her body shaking as she tried to regain strength.
Zell made a fist before moving forwards, slashing at her with his dark blade, which was blocked by a purple barrier, as she twirled around, dancing in the air with a brutal flurry of fairy kicks, that smashed into his face and arms as he tried to block them.
"What's wrong, Zell? You seem a little tired! Hahaha!" Evenly taunted, huge balls of purple energy swelled around her body, looking almost like a storm in the sky, as they swarmed down towards him.
'Time for another trick!'
As he dodged them, Zell dropped his sword, and his hands began collecting his black and red flames, creating an Anima flare to counter her strange magic, which exploded outwards, engulfing the entire area and causing the trees to burn and explode.
The blast was nothing like the one he used on the demon prince, clearly not wanting to kill the girls, but it's ferocity and violent power were nothing to scoff at despite being cast almost instantly.
At the same time, the surrounding grass burst into flames. The ground became covered in dust and debris as she was blown backwards, her body disappearing as she fell to her knees, coughing, her clothes charred and smoking.
"keh... I got some dirt in my mouth... fuck.... why is your control so bad... what if you bombed the village!?"
"Tsk... that's what your fairy barrier magic is for, right?"
"You fucking broke the barrier! Try to be more reserved!"
"Ah, you're so adorable when mad."
Zell gently began to caress her shoulders and body, her bruised body healing from his touch, as he infused her with his Anima, a nostalgic feeling as her lips parted with a hot sigh of sensual breath.
"Zell... don't..."
"Mm... not until we meet Baal again, right? It wouldn't be fair."
He raised his hand, his fingers gently touching her cheek; as she looked away, her body shivering, whether, in delight or fear, it wasn't known.
"Shall we go another round? I hope you can get stronger, then pass this on to the other girls until they match your strengths..."
"Things are going to get worse after all..." Evelyn agreed with his rough process, even though her daughter and granddaughter were still unable to move, and the werewolf Freyja was completely defeated.
Zell smiled, before vanishing into the distance, heading towards the forest's centre.
He was going to gather some of the healing herbs and kill some animals for a hearty meal, a smile on his face as several wounds began to appear as his black demonic skin faded.
The woman did extremely well; his body was equal to demon kings, yet they inflicted light wounds on him.
'Let's treat them well; today, I also have to spend time with Nora, Rika and Cynthia... My first women, first supporters... Too long have I neglected my pets...'
Slowly Zell began to search through the thickets and trees for berries and nuts that Nora and Rika used to like while he hunted the plumpest boars and rabbits to make a nice meal.
"It's amazing that the normal rabbits are bigger than small dogs..."

Meanwhile, back with the four women licking their wounds.
"That was incredible, Elisé! the way you managed to make him so serious." Freyja said as she banged on the fairy's back. "How did you manage to keep up with him?"
"Well, I just kept him busy with some flashy moves and tricks while he focused on me... easily breaking my guard, seeing through my faints... He is so different from the man I met a few weeks ago," Elisé replied, smiling as she healed her ribs, admiring that she enjoyed this different side of him.
'I wonder if he'll be this rough in bed now...'
Alizée looked at her mother in awe, her eyes wide as she looked at her.
"Mother, you're thinking dirty thoughts!"
Her mother laughed, her face blushing before hugging her daughter and whispering. "Shut up, or I'll make it so he never sleeps with you again! little girl!"
Alizée pouted, looking down, her eyes glistening with tears, determined to defeat her mother and make Zell addicted to her on the bed and in battle.
"Stop fighting... Do you think you can afford to compete against each other when he has so many young women vying for his seed?"
"Why not form small groups and alliances? He seems able to handle four of you easily in one night; isn't that why the dinner was set up in groups of 4?" Evelyn said with some words of wisdom.
"Ah!? There was that hand!"
"Oh, my~ mother, what a great idea. Will you join?"
"Idiots, what would my cute Tessa do if she knew even I was banging him?"
While the family of three were speaking, Freyja began to look back towards the village, then the area where her two daughters would be managing... as she started to consider the future.
"We should probably head back; we don't want him waiting too long for us to return, despite how rough he was."
"Did you notice he injected us with slow healing magic with each blow?" Evelyn whispered as she noticed the strange eyes of the werewolf mother, realising she might have spurred on another woman to vie for his love.
"Okay, grandmother!"
"It's Big sister!!"
The sound of Alizée being spanked by Evelyn sounded in the forest as Elisé and Freyja slowly left, trying to get a head start.
