While Kireina flew at a calm pace towards the Hero of Raging Winds, she commanded Nephiana to enter the stage. The Harpy Girl quickly descended from the skies towards her victim, as she had a wicked smile all over her face, showcasing her undying fascination with revenge.
As she finally saw Hammond, who was struggling to escape for his life, she increased her speed while manipulating the winds around her, clashing over the Hero's back.
CRASH!
"Gah...! Huh?!"
As Hammond saw with horror the new type of demi-human that appeared before him, his hopes for survival slowly shattered into pieces.
The Harpy girl glanced at him with a dominant and wicked smile, she talked about revenge, and how she has been training just for this very moment.
Hammond was confused as he didn't understand what she was talking about. Among the countless demi-human villages and tribes that he has crushed, he did not remember the Windy Mountain Harpies.
However, as the Harpy Girl kept talking, he quickly remembered one of Gustav's requests, which he happily obliged to help.
"That Harpy Tribe…"
As Nephiana talked about his wicked personality and how he has converted himself in the monsters he desired so much to kill, the Hero realized that even his life didn't have a point at all, and he has been always drifting through his madness, even when he obtained stability, he still wanted to fulfill his wicked desires… Like an endless thirst for destruction.
"Who I am?" He thought. Just now, after hearing the harsh words of a demi-human that he despised, he realized that he didn't even know who he was, what was his point in life, what was even his personality? People only saw him as a Demon and after, as a Hero. He never had a true self, other than the crazy slaughterer.
Hammond suddenly began to panic and before almost inevitable death, his body started to shiver in fear. Like a pathetic rat, he quivered in fear over his death, and couldn't even muster another word, he felt once again empty and alone, just like when he was that child who's village was destroyed, alone without a father...
While his mind was infested in loneliness and the void of endless despair, as if his mind was playing tricks on him while trying to make him suffer, Hammond regressed to when he was just a child, and spectated the destruction of his own village once again, over and over again...
The fear... The emptiness... Everything...
The one who was called a Hero was now pathetically crying while calling for his father's help.
"Ggguaaahh! F-Father…! Help me! Father… Don't die…! Don't leave me alone, father…!"
Nephiana for a moment stopped using her strength over the Hero's back and glanced at him with a serious expression.
"Leave me alone, monster! Where is my father? Father…!!! Don't leave me alone… I feel so lonely… I don't want to be alone… I don't want to die… Father… Father…!"
Nephiana sighed while looking at the Hero with disgust.
"Sigh… You are already broken? How will I be able to vent all my frustrations now?! Who will pay for everything I've suffered now?!"
At Nephiana yelling, Hammond curled into a ball while crying endlessly.
"Father… So scary… Why everything is so scary? I want my father… Snif, sniff…"
At the pathetic display of Hammond, Nephiana kicked him in the back with all her strength, sending him towards the air like a bullet.
BAAAAM!
"Gghaaah!"
CLASH!
As Hammond fell down the ground, he started to vomit blood while crying, even after such a strong hit, his mind was still regressed into that of a child.
"Guaaah! It hurts! It hurts so much…! Father! Papa! Help me…! Help me…! I don't want to die…"
As Nephiana was about to hit Hammond once again, her father descended from the skies and stopped her.
"Father…? I need to… He can't just… He…"
"Nephiana… He's already lost… Look at him. He has regressed to his childhood. I can sense his aura with the wind, he has completely lost his former abilities, as if his own memories were erased…"
"But what about our tribe revenge?! We can't just forgive him, even if he has become like this! Everything he has done to us… Even mother and sister… Everyone…"
Nephiana's father hugged his child with his warm wings.
"Even after revenge, you will feel empty inside, my daughter. Revenge does not lead to anything in the end. However, what he has done cannot be forgiven, let's finish him off, together"
"Father…!"
As Nephiana's father approached the crying Hero, he gave him a pitiful look.
"Hammond… I always thought that you were a great man, full of charisma and strength, to think that you were so broken deep down, you are no different than us… And even when you killed us and enslaved us, I always expected the time that our revenge comes to see you in the ground begging for your life, but not like this���� Not like this, Hammond"
"Father…"
"Nephiana, let's do it"
Suddenly, Nephiana captured Hammond with her winds as both father and daughter raised their wings, enhancing them with their reinforcing skills and slicing winds.
"Gaah! Let me go! Aaah! Father! Papa! Papa! Aaaaahh! I don't want to die! No! Nooo!!!"
As much as Hammond pathetically struggled, the two harpies only looked at him with disgust and scorn, the pitiful look on the Harpy Girl was already long gone.
Suddenly, the two harpies sliced the Hero's neck at the same time, making its head roll through the ground, his yelling suddenly stopped and there was now a calming silence, even the humans and demi-humans war has stopped. The humans saw with horror how their Hero regressed into a child and died pathetically to two demi-humans.
With their morale plummeted, the demi-humans and monsters in Kireina's army quickly finished the human off with their surprise attacks and powerful techniques. Some humans even stopped fighting and awaited their deaths as if they had given up on their own lives.

While I was flying were my wives were, I received a new system notification.
Ding!

[Servant/Subordinate] gained a prize reward] [Legendary Relic of the Cold Winter Princess]
"Oh? It seems that even Redgaria caught some fishes!"
While thinking about what would Redgaria even do with the relic, I received a message from Zehe, telling me that the Hero of Raging Winds was ready to be killed by Nephiana. So, I commanded the Harpy Girl to descend while Zehe freed him from the Dark/Shadow Space.
Nephiana was currently devastating the remaining humans alongside her father and Ocypete. Ocypete grew quite closer to the Harpy Girl and sees her as her big sister, even when Ocypete clearly resembles someone older than Nephiana.
Not much time has passed since then when I finally got another system message.

[You gained two levels!] [LEVEL 033/250 EXP 109.264.172/210.000.0000 EXP]
Well, there were still some humans going around, but they already forfeited and most of my servants had already eaten enough, even the most voracious of my servants had their bellies full, it was a war full of rewards, spoils and delicious food (humans).
As I congratulated my servants for their good work, Nephiana came rushing at me while hugging me tightly.
"My Master, I did it! I killed the hero! We can marry now, right?"
"E-Eh? Since when did I set that condition, Nephiana?"
"B-But I thought that Master… You always look at me with a lot of thirstiness…"
While saying these words, Nephiana showed off her thighs and small waist, while trying to move her small breast upwards, trying to make them seem big.
"Ah well, I understand your concerns, don't worry, I already intended to take you as my wife, Nephiana"
The young Harpy opened her beautiful emerald eyes as they shined in a bright green color.
"Aaah~! R-Really?!"
As she said this, she hugged me even more tightly.
"Y-Yeah, you are a very beautiful Harpy, Nephiana, I would love to have you at my side from now on…"
Aaah, Demi-Humans are really easy to convince or take as wives, the moment they know you're strong, they just want to be with you forever, a very natural instinct, I suppose. I feel like I'm taking advantage of her naivety, but she's happy, so I'm happy.
"I'm so happy Master! Let's go make babies now! I know that you can make babies with another woman, I want to make a lot of eggs! Let's go! Hurry! We will make up for all the harpies lost in my tribe in no time!"
"H-Huh?! W-Wait a second, we just finished a massive war, there is a lot of things to do before going to bed…!"
"Hurry! Hurry!"
At our back was Nephiana's father, who didn't oppose at all his daughter's desires and even laughed over her enthusiasm, while giving me thumbs up.
"H-Hey! Control your daughter a little bit!"

As my servants piled up the thousands of human corpses for me to save them inside of my almost infinite Item Box storage, I meet up with my rather tired wives, and then with Alice and my Dhampirs. There I found that most people in the Royal Family passed out in horror and fear and were unconscious. Even the King and the famous Princess were in an almost coma state.
I used this opportunity to enslave them, although when I used my Charm of Lust, fragrances, or Illusion, I discovered that they were highly resistant to it, and I could only "enslave" them temporarily at best. Until I found out that I could forcefully take over their minds using my Flesh and Slime Minions, dividing a piece of my flesh and converting it into a small slime, the slimes infiltrated inside of the entire Royal Family and used [Parasite] and [Symbiosis] to forcefully take over them permanently.
Using my parasites alongside my Illusion Charm, I was able to brainwash them successfully, I made the entire Royal Family of Athetosea my loyal dogs, while I made the Princess my wife, brainwashing her into thinking that she was in love for me for various years already, without changing much of her original personality, so I could enjoy teasing her a bit.
Aside from this, there was also the Queen's young sister Acelina Athetosea, who was captured by Eshne when she suddenly attacked the Wyvern Overlord. She has a tremendous beauty too, resembling the Princess but with a natural mature demeanor and body. In the end, I also did something similar to her and made her in love for me over various years. Now I had two beautiful blue-haired royalty girls at my disposal.
There seems to be another of the Queen's sisters which were named Jonete Athetosea, she was killed by Alice, in her rampage, but it seems to have "revived" as a Lesser Dhampir. However, unlike Alice, she lacked many emotions and was silent, like a robot. She may regain more independency if she evolves further, so I left her to Alice's care. Jonete became the first of her "sisterhood" of Dhampirs.
After several hours the entire battlefield was finally cleaned and the Athetosea Kingdom population was quite confused about what was going on, as they were kept inside of the Kingdom's walls and the guards did not allow the people to go outside today.
After cleaning everything, I went with my entire army alongside the now awoken Royal Family, in their Royal Carriages, they were quickly received with open arms by the Nobles that stayed in the Kingdom. The Nobles that were previously hypnotized by Alice were once again permanently brainwashed using my Parasite Slimes now, so they accompanied us as well. There were a lot of losses in the war in the Athetosea part, and most people had doubting expressions in their faces as they saw so many demi-humans entering the Kingdom as if they owned it, and well, we do now.
After the Royal Family gathered the entire population of Athetosea, which rounded around twenty thousand humans, who would be more if we didn't kill so many soldiers. They invested a lot in war power if half of their population were soldiers.
Because there were so many people, it was bound to have some suspicious expressions that knew that something wrong was going on.
The actual reason behind this meeting was not because I thought that they would believe anything the Royal Family said, I reunited all of the Athetosea population to completely brainwash the entire Kingdom in one go.
