Chapter 338: After The Battle - Ruins of Westrin
Two hours after Abaddon's defeat, the enemy troops became like a house of cards. They fell to the organised attack of the orcs under Grom and Valkyrie under Ignis.
Meanwhile, Maria's figure vanished into the city. She heard from Grom during their travel, where they kept Alan captive and thus rushed to find him. Nobody would complain, especially when Asura let her go.
Asura left the battlefield and headed to the emergency tents. He found a large tent that seemed more private than the others and sensed Verana, Amalia and Xavida from the open door.
"Verana, Xavida, are you both alright?" Asura stood beside the pair after coming inside. He noticed their damage seemed more extensive than he thought.
Both girls looked at him with wet eyes, their skin burned and flesh wounds covering their bodies. Maybe they thought Asura would become disgusted or something.
"Husband... don't look, okay? I will get pretty again. I promise!" Verana's voice sounded fragile, and he noticed Xavida couldn't even speak. She looked at him with wet eyes.
However, he grasped the ointment and a cloth before sitting at the end of their beds—starting with their feet and legs. He tended to their wounds.
"Don't speak with that sad voice or look like you might cry. It hurts me here." Asura pointed to his chest, disposing of one cloth, switching to another as he gently wiped their burns and cuts. His eyes focused on them, causing both women's hearts to race.
'These girls are so stupid, how could they think or feel I would find them disgusting because of battle wounds.'
Asura felt conflicted at the moment. His gentle smile and delicate touch helped the girls until he finished their legs after a long hour, massaging their muscles and unhurt places to avoid cramps or any other issues.
Thankfully, his Animus flowed into their bodies and sped up the healing process. He couldn't help but look away when the girls let out sexy sighs and pant from his touch despite being in a poor state.
"Does it feel better now, girls?"
"Nn~ I feel better, thank you, darling." Xavida's eyes still contained some shame after having Asura clean and treat her entire body like that.
"Husband, I need more. My lips need your kiss to heal them." While Verana returned to her confident self, though a vampire healed rapidly alone, the corrosive venom of Abaddon seemed to affect the magic of others.
"Now, make sure you both get some rest. The battle is over, and we don't need to fight anymore." Asura moved a comfortable chair between them so he could remain with both women after cleaning himself up a bit and switching his clothing.
However, before he could relax, a half-naked Lucia appeared from his shoulders and held a jar of ointment and antivenom. Her beautiful black eyes gazed at him like a lost puppy. "Asura, help me, please?"
Asura couldn't help but reach to hold the thin and sexy figure of this lovely shade, and thus, he would treat her until the sky turned dark; the trio constantly became needy to compete against each other, while Asura just smiled and completed whatever they desired of him.

Three hours later, Asura stood outside the tent and saw Maria and a rather handsome male walking towards him while holding hands. 'This must be the illustrious Alan.' He thought while stepping forward to meet them in the light area.
"Alan, we might have underestimated our lord. My chest feels so warm, and I don't know how to explain it, but everything seems to have been thought of and makes me feel strange—what do you think?"
Maria asked, but the pair gazed at each other in silence, wondering if the day had been a dream or if they had woken up in paradise.
She thought Asura might be a cruel and controlling man, but seeing his concern for his wives and the troops, even when he headed towards the two beautiful women waiting for him, he still spoke to various injured orcs and handed them small potions of pure red. "Pure red potions are the most expensive type... How generous."
"What a great lord, although I kept my honour and pride. It feels dwarfed by Lord Asura; we have to work hard, Marie; though I lack confidence, I want to reach his eyes at least and earn his respect."
"Me too, but it seems true that no woman can beat our lord—I only feel his kindness." Maria gripped the three sacks, the weight and items within already giving her many ideas of how to proceed.
"Our kingdom's regeneration is only just beginning, Maria! Let us do our best to create a place our children can happily live!"
"Nn! Of course, Alan... if you would have this defiled body of mine."
"I have wanted nothing more since the moment I met you. Let us go. I want to take you to meet my parents." With that Alan and Maria took the items and headed towards the graveyard, untouched by the orcs and cultists.
The place where Alan's family rested.

"I'm fine. I've just been busy today, you know?" Asura laughed weakly while taking control of his body and making sure he did not fall asleep in her arms.
"Verana and Xavida were worried about you. Why didn't you rest more and leave so quickly?"
Asura lifted his head and found a smiling Amalia by his side. This girl fought harder than most of his troops, yet she still helped clean the camp and perform guard duties. He felt a sense of pride and reached out, stroking her cheek. "You performed exceedingly well, Valkyrie Amalia."
"Thanks to you, my lord."
Amalia blushed as she kissed his hand. The trio then went towards the mansion that was being repaired by a mix of dwarves from Utgard and Orcs, who carried the heavy debris and stones to the yard outside. The lord's rooms were the only ones open for Asura to rest. But he made sure there were small inns in the city still able to take in the people for the night.
Amalia stood outside the doors as his guard, while Ignis would rest until six in the morning.
"Now, it's time to check the damage on you, my love," Helliana whispered as she pushed him down onto the stool and removed his upper clothing.
"Please, be gentle, Helliana."
