My Yandere Wives are Transcendents
Chapter 182 - 182: I knew you love me, but I cann-'HMMfff'

Alexander's POV

I, somehow managed to avoid Eva's attack when they used Eli as bait.

I, somehow defeated Noah Caddle by unleashing my full power.

I, somehow landed alone with three stunning women, as if I were living out some sort of Lucky Pervert Moment.

I, somehow used my acting skills to seduce Amber first, since she seemed to be naive when it came to love.

I, somehow manipulated Eva and Pearl, convincing them that I genuinely supported Fallens, unlike the other Hero who despised them.

Though, my initial plans didn't fully come to fruition.

I, somehow managed to score some points with Amber, Eva, and Pearl, and....what was left was to win Alysia's heart in this Training Arc...

But,

Yet,

..Yet,

...Yet,

"AAAAARRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

"Oh, you're absolutely right. It appears that his bracelet is malfunctioning".

Blood rushed from my seven orifices as I felt a punch....no, it looked like a punch, but it didn't feel like one. Instead, it felt like I was being crushed in a press.

Struggling to keep my eyes open through the blood haze, I saw....an auburn-haired man wearing an indifferent expression.

Gazing at his face filled me with an overwhelming sense of anger.

It was an inexplicable anger that made me wish to erase his face from existence.

As if he could read my thoughts, he asked with an amused tone and an expression devoid of emotion,

"Angry?"

"Y-cough-cough-cough..."

I tried to speak, but every attempt resulted in more blood gushing out.

My vision grew increasingly hazy as I started to lose consciousness once more....Wait, again?....Ah, now I understand. During our confrontation with Eli, someone had knocked me unconscious. It was rather pathetic to lose consciousness in such a manner.

Slowly slipping away into darkness, I noticed my bracelet was broken, yet there was no response from it.

Seeing this, an uncanny smile erupted on my face before I blanked out.

"Tsk, Tsk, what a strong body you have...Mr. Hero"

Those were the last words I heard.

Third Person's POV

"...." Eli stared at the unconscious boy and then examined his hand, contemplating the extraordinary resilience of the Hero's body.

'His body is truly remarkable' Eli pondered, wondering what it would take to pierce it.

"Y-Y-ou....that's the Hero and your team's own member, isn't he?" Theo inquired, stuttering.

"Huh?...Oh, yes, he was. However, due to his betrayal, he is facing the consequences of his actions" Eli replied with a seemingly benign smile.

....that was far from just a smile.

"What are--"

"Are you trying to manipulate us?" Pearl interjected before Theo could pose any further questions.

"..." Theo eyes twitched as he began, "Ms. Pearl, could you st--"

But once again, someone else cut him off.

"You nearly deceived us-cough-cough-You damn, Mortal" Amber spat with an unmistakable fury etched on her face.

Yet,

"..." Eli ignored the others and focused on the motionless boy who had attempted to harm Zera, and something deeper seemed to be going on between him and Luna.

'Should I... kill him? Should I kill... him? kill... him?' His mind was a tumultuous whirlwind of thoughts about ending the life of this 'Damn Hero' who had shaped everything in Eli's life and was still trying to take more from him.

For a moment, the entire group stood frozen, as if awaiting Eli's decision...an uneasiness swept around for unknown reasons.

'I really want to kill him, however....' Eli's thoughts turned to the events of the past few months.

The image of Lilith's radiant smile, Scylla's shy charm, Adriana's competitive spirit, and his beloved sisters who bore hardships without burdening him with their struggles. These thoughts weighed on his conscience.

Once, Eli was alone and acted irrationally, but now, he couldn't afford to be impulsive. His actions might affect the well-being of his loved ones.

Eli was far from perfect.

He held secrets, known only to his elder sister.

He didn't consider himself a genius or an exceptionally talented individual. Despite the recognition he received for his perseverance and knowledge, he knew that he was a small fish in a vast ocean. He couldn't bring himself to consider himself great.

For Eli, there was never enough knowledge to satisfy his insatiable curiosity. All he wanted now was to ensure the safety of those he held dear /Just to be safe/ his motto.

Even though many of the women in his life were more powerful than him, a lingering sense of unease surfaced when he looked at Alexander, Amir Osvaldo and Kayden R.

He felt an innate inferiority in their presence. His subconscious told him that he could never surpass them, and he accepted that he was but a mortal, vulnerable to death by a simple cut to his neck or a thrust to his heart.

This sense of inferiority had accompanied him throughout his life, and it had moulded him into the person he was today.

Eli was sure....no, he had already gone through, there was nothing absolute in this ever-changing world.

'Sigh... Let's stop now. There are witnesses here, and...' Eli glanced at Amber's group, 'He has support'.

'crack, crack'

Eli distanced himself from the expansive hole that radiated like a spiderweb.....For a moment, his irrational side had driven him to attempt to end Alexander's life.

Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, Alexander's body had grown sturdier over time, much like how Eli had grown stronger.

'snap'

'crack, crack'

Eli broke his own bracelets, and with a faint smile, he commented, "Looks like we cannot die here anymore".

Everyone's attention changed as they broke their bracelets, but the outcome remained the same.

"Your Highnesses, please" Oliver implored, requesting assistance for Alexander.

Eli paid little heed to Oliver and remained focused on Amber.

"Oi?"

"What you want?"

Both Pearl and Eva positioned themselves in front of Amber as if to shield her.

Eli paid no mind to their defensive stance and inquired of Amber, "Don't you have a healing potion?"

"....Yes" Amber answered with hesitance.

"Will it be sufficient to mend your wound?" Eli pointed towards her abdomen.

"....I-I don't think so"

"Oi, Oliver does--"

"No, we don't, and we won't" Oliver promptly rejected Eli's implied request.

"...." Eli perceived a trace of disgust on Oliver's team's faces, but he decided not to ask about it for now.

"Well, if you don't mind, I can help you" Eli offered, sounding somewhat uncertain about his abilities.

"What are you now planning--"

Before Pearl could object further, Amber raised her hand to silence her and inquired, "What do you want in return?"

"Two bottles of F-Hing Potion" Eli replied without any hesitation.

"....Good," Amber nodded, accepting the deal, 'If it's a transaction, that's fine' she thought and gave the last remaining two potions which had glitters of white particles floating inside the black liquid.

"A-Amber?"

"Amby?"

Pearl and Eva were taken aback by Amber's decision.

"It's okay" Amber reassured them and then turned to Eli, asking, "Isn't it?"

"..." Eli observed her for a moment before responding, "Yes, it's fine."

"Wait a minute" Eli said and walked over to Rize.

"Hmm?" Rize calmly tilted her head.

"Show me your leg" Eli said as he knelt down.

"Huh?" Rize appeared puzzled.

"...You hurt your leg, right? Show it" Eli's eyes twitched.

"OH...I see but I cannot take fre--Huh?-Ouch"

Eli simply tugged on her leg, causing her to fall on her buttocks.

"What are--" Rize began to ask in annoyance when,

"You asked me whether I am in love... no, no, you confirmed I am in love with you, right?" Eli inquired as he closely examined her calf.

Her blood vessels were leaking blood, her torn muscles were twitching like dead frog legs, and...Eli could even see her bone.

'What the hell? How in the hell was she jumping around with this broken leg?....hmm, wait, isn't her dark mana devouring the monster's dark mana?' Eli was amazed to discover this.

'Is Fallen's Dark mana more potent than the dungeon's monster's Dark mana?' Eli pondered, but he was snapped out of his thoughts when,

"Yes, I knew you love me, but I can..'hmmmff---'" Rize was saying when she suddenly moaned, she then hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Hmm, what are you saying?" Eli asked with an angelic smile, which for Rize, was more...devilish.

Even though this F-Hing Potion could heal Fallen, it still caused them pain because of the 0.1% mixture of Holy water content in it.

"Ahhh-wait-hmm-I-I am-w-wait-Hmmm" Rize tried to control her pained moan, her normally indifferent face turning slightly red in shame

"I am not waiting," Eli smiled even more and applied the liquid.

"hmm-Y-You-idi-hmmm-ahhh-PERVERTED BASTARD!!" Rize shouted as she attempted to slap him, but Eli swiftly dodged and looked at her with a wicked smile.

"Think before you speak" Eli told her as he moved on to his next target.

'Ggrrrr' Rize, for the first time in her life, felt shame and...excitement? She covered her face as the other people around her looked at her with puzzled expressions.

'gulp'

Amber, who witnessed this, gulped nervously and then looked at the approaching Eli with his wicked smile.

"N--"

She was about to refuse his help, but then,

"I am not sure about healing you, so don't get your hopes up" Eli quickly interjected, escaping from the sudden attacks of the two women.

"....Okay" Amber reluctantly agreed and signalled her friends to calm down.

Eli sat down and calmed his mind, then asked her to move the robe so that he could see the wound clearly.

"..." Amber hesitated for a moment but noticed that his eyes showed no lust or any emotions. She slowly revealed only the wounded area, not exposing even an extra inch of her white abdomen.

"....Really?" Eli's lips twitched when he saw how she only showed the wounded part.....no, he wasn't hoping for anything...it's just for some reason it felt he was being treated like a pervert.

And her two friends kept watch, blocking the view from others.

'Am I operating something else?' Eli wondered, but he set that thought aside and focused on the task at hand.
