CHAPTER 17: CHAPTER 17: BLOOD, BONDS & BEAST CORRUPTION – THE BATTLE OF FELGARDE

⚔️ Recap:

After accepting a mission from Queen Victoria, Jemil and his gorgeous battle beasts began training an elite field squad to defend the border town of Felgarde. Tensions rose with Captain Vera, but any budding romance was cut short by terrible news—an enemy beast known as the Crimson General, capable of corrupting others through lust and despair, is heading their way.

The moment they arrived at Felgarde, Jemil felt the pressure. The sky was overcast, air thick with dread. Beastfolk and human guards were already positioned behind hastily erected barricades, glaring out at the mist-covered forest.

And then...

[System Alert: Corruption Field Detected]

[All beasts in proximity: -10% resistance to mental control]

[Battle Initiation Mode: ON]

Jemil’s harem stood ready beside him—clad in custom battle leathers that barely counted as armor but certainly boosted morale. And tension.

Lyra’s flame danced across her fingers. "The air stinks of desperation. Let’s give them a reason to regret stepping foot here."

"Please," Nyx yawned, stretching in ways that made nearby guards blush, "just point me at something worth seducing and stabbing."

"Or both," Mira whispered, wings folding inward with elegance. "Preferably in that order."

💥 First Contact

The Crimson Fang Horde exploded out of the woods. Snarling, mutated beasts—furred, horned, twisted—charged in waves.

"Squads hold formation!" Jemil shouted. "Sylfa, wall the right! Ursa, anchor the middle! Mira, air control!"

His voice carried, his presence undeniable.

[Commander’s Bond Activated]

[Squad Morale: +30%]

[Beasts respond with synergy bonus]

The battle was chaos incarnate.

Sylfa’s vines shot out like living barricades, entangling snarling wolves before they reached the archers.

Ursa barreled through the front line, hammer fists cracking skulls like melons.

Mira zipped through the sky, sending wind blades that sliced enemy wings from the air.

Grahla grinned as she body-slammed a corrupted ogre, roaring louder than it did.

And Lyra?

Lyra went full inferno.

"I SAID NO ONE TOUCHES MY SUMMONER!"

The field lit up in glorious, uncontrolled fire. Jemil winced as two enemy beasts were cooked and three trees were now on fire.

[Warning: Friendly fire threshold at 6.5%]

[Lyra Relationship +2]

[Also slightly terrified of her: +1]

🩸 The Crimson General Appears

The ground shook. A shadow rose.

From the mist emerged a creature both regal and horrifying—a towering beast, crimson plates shifting like molten muscle, four arms, a crown of bone and a human face sewn into its chest.

[Crimson General – Corrupted Myth-Class]

[Status: Immune to regular damage. Immune to standard bonding techniques.]

[Weakness: Lust-driven beasts can be overloaded emotionally. Exploit intimacy field.]

"Let me guess," Jemil muttered, "we need to flirt him to death."

"Not quite," Nyx purred, stepping up. "But emotional overload works. Shame we’re all incredibly sexy."

"Yeah, real shame," Jemil groaned as Nyx’s top conveniently slipped off one shoulder.

🖤 The Intimacy Overload Plan

"Here’s the play," Jemil said, pulling the girls close. "We don’t fight him directly—we distract, disorient, and overload."

"How?" Aelira asked, perched upside down on a branch with a knife between her teeth.

"With what we do best."

"Oh gods," Mira sighed. "You mean–"

"Yes. We seduce the monster."

Cue:

Lyra enveloped herself in heated flames, dancing across the battlefield like a goddess of war and lust.

Nyx conjured illusions of herself—dozens—each more daringly dressed than the last.

Sylfa grew flowered vines that pulsed with aphrodisiac spores.

Aelira slipped behind enemy lines, whispering breathy lies into corrupted ears.

Grahla cracked her knuckles. "I don’t seduce. But I can break them until they love me."

Ursa offered cookies. Surprisingly effective.

Jemil stood at the center of it all—the eye of the sexy storm.

[Intimacy Field MAXIMUM]

[Crimson General Status: Disoriented, Overloaded, Emotionally Compromised]

[Final Trigger Needed: Jemil’s Direct Emotional Bonding]

Jemil stepped forward and said softly: "I see you. You’re not just a monster. You’re pain. You’re rejection. You’re every beast cast out for wanting to feel."

The Crimson General trembled.

"I don’t want to fight you. I want to free you."

[System Prompt: Initiate Emotional Override Ritual – Kiss the Beast]

[WARNING: May result in accidental bonding. Proceed?]

Jemil hesitated. The entire battlefield stared.

Nyx shouted, "KISS IT, YOU COWARD!"

So he did.

He kissed the corrupted face.

...

And with a massive surge of pink and crimson energy, the Crimson General screamed—and shattered into light.

[Myth-Class Beast Defeated]

[Crimson General Purified: New Beast Option Available]

[Relationship With All Beasts: +10]

💕 Aftermath

Felgarde was saved. Jemil was covered in kisses (and scratches), and his harem lay around him exhausted, satisfied, and smug.

"You kissed a monster," Mira said flatly.

"I freed a soul."

"You also kissed a monster," Nyx added.

Ursa handed him a bandage. "Still hot though."

Queen Victoria sent her thanks via magical projection: "You’ve done the impossible again. And now... I have a new mission. This one’s personal."
