Undead Beast Master: Living Solely for My Desires

Not wasting any time, Zaroth placed his hand on the doorknob.

"Wait!" he heard Midnight, so he froze.

"Don't forget that this isn't like the small churches that we attacked before. This one will no doubt be full. We can't just attack recklessly!"

Letting go of the doorknob, Zaroth shifted his gaze to her.

"Then what do we do?" he asked.

Unless he was mistaken, there was no other entrance to the church other than the main one.

Midnight pointed with her finger upwards, so Zaroth followed the gesture.

His eyes landed on a window close to the top of the building.

"Cool and all, but how do we reach it? It's at least thirty-five meters away from us!" he complained.

Without saying anything, Midnight approached the body of the man that Nightshade had killed, and she brought her fangs down on the man.

Quickly drinking a few liters of blood, it seemed like her hair got more beautiful while her face became even more breathtaking.

Taking a step toward Zaroth, she embraced him.

Raising an eyebrow, he muttered, "I mean, it's not like I don't like it, but it isn't the time for this sort of—"

He stopped mid-sentence as suddenly two large wings appeared out of Midnight's back.

Before he had realized it, his mouth had opened a little in awe. He had seen her naked body multiple times at this point, but he was surely going to remember if there were wings that she kept hidden.

Did she have some way to make them manifest from nothing?

Zaroth didn't have time to ponder on the question as he was lifted high from the ground. Truthfully, he had never experienced flying up to that point, and it was safe to say it was both terrifying and amazing.

Terrifying because watching the ground get farther away from him was like he was experiencing a nightmare.

While amazing because Midnight was embracing him so tightly that he was able to feel her body pressed against his.

'Everything has its pros and cons, I guess,' he thought, shifting his gaze to Midnight's face, trying to forget about the fact that he was flying.

A second later, they reached the window that was thankfully opened and entered undetected.

Letting go of Zaroth, Midnight retracted her wings and fixed a part of her clothing.

After she was done, she realized that Zaroth was staring at her with his mouth still open in awe.

With a smirk, she asked, "What?"

"What… what do you mean, what?! You can fly?! You can have wings?! Since when? Why did you not tell me?!" Despite whispering, it was clear that he was feeling frustrated.

"I mean… you didn't tell me that you had a new beast, did you?" she retorted.

Being taken aback for a second or two, he replied, "I—this—if I had known about this, then we might have acted differently from the beginning! This changes so many things! Have you even explored this power?"

Taking a step closer to him, she embraced him in her arms as she whispered, "If that's what you're into, you can explore it later in the night once we go to your bed."

Feeling his body get hotter, he muttered, "Stop with your distractions, we have Purifiers to kill."

Laughing quickly, she let him go.

"This woman!" he cursed silently as he observed where he had found himself.

They were in what appeared to be some kind of attic, considering that the air was heavy and there was a lot of dust in the air.

After waiting for Midnight to calm down, they found a staircase that led downward, so they took it.

Once they descended to the next floor, Zaroth grimaced. Sadly, it seemed that the interior of the building was well-lit, so Nightshade's advantage was gone here.

"No matter," he muttered as he summoned everyone excluding Luna.

Nightshade appeared to his right, Silverfang appeared to his left, and the other four wolves appeared behind him.

"Is it a good idea to summon them so early?" Midnight whispered.

"It's too well-lit to be stealthy at this point, plus summoning takes time, and it's better to have them out than not."

Midnight knew that he was right, so she didn't protest as they continued their walk in the church.

"Wait!" Midnight muttered as she extended her arm to the side, so Zaroth and his beasts complied.

Shifting his gaze to the front, he saw that there was what looked like a balcony that overlooked a large room.

Moving quickly to make sure that he wasn't spotted, Zaroth observed how many Purifiers were in the grand room.

His face darkened as he began to count.

'One, two, three.' At the end, he counted ten Purifiers.

It was clear that this wasn't going to be an easy battle.

"Do you have a plan?" Midnight spoke.

Scratching his chin, deep in thought, a second later, a plan came to mind.

"Yes, it might sound a bit risky, but it's worth a try."

"What could be the reason for all these recent attacks?" a priestess whispered quietly at the statue that she was kneeling in front of.

"It must be the work of sinners. No need to worry, the gods will surely protect us." another priestess answered back.

Due to the recent events, the number of personnel that was employed in the churches rose significantly.

Usually, it was rare for a church to have even one priestess present, but at the moment, there were three here.

Not to mention the seven paladins that had been tasked with keeping them safe.

One thing was for certain, nothing was going to get through them.

They had even stationed one man at the entrance, so surely they would have been alerted if they were under attack.

Or, that was what they thought until a figure wearing a black robe jumped from the second floor to the first one.

The man immediately removed his robe, allowing the Purifiers to see his white hair and green-cat-like eyes.

Zaroth smiled as he shouted with all his might, making sure that he had gotten the attention of everybody in the room.

"Behold, your nightmare has arrived!"
