Harem God: Leveling Up Yanderes in the Apocalypse

Chapter 102 The Most Toxic Friendship Ever



"AWHOOOOOOOOOO!" Mirth howled, looking upward at the moon.

The werewolf's eyes illuminated in vivid gold before she turned her head at a speed that left after-images.

Before Manka could react, Mirth's razor-sharp teeth sunk far into the webspace between her index and thumb, biting into a muscle required to squeeze her hand.

"YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Manka roared as her right hand released involuntarily, enraged that the werewolf damaged her ability to squeeze.

If it were a real fight, it was uncertain whether she'd heal; at a minimum, she'd scar and be permanently damaged.

Without thinking, the snake woman threw her hand to the side.

BOOOOM! Rumble, rumbled, rubble, rubble, rubble….

Mirth flew into the colosseum's wall, causing the haremites above it to shake violently.

Before Mirth or the haremites could recover—

BOOOOOOOOM! RUMBLE, Rumble! Rumble, rumbled, rubble, rubble, rubble….

—Manka's tail smashed into the wall, causing the entire section of the colosseum to rattle.

Golden gold light exploded from the crater to repair the wall. As a result, they believed that the match was over.

It wasn't. Not even close.

When Manka's tail returned, Mirth bit into it, breaking past the snake woman's nearly indestructible scales.

The snake whipped her tail around, stressing Mirth with 20 G's of gravitational pressure as the tail wrapped around the snake woman's body.

Mirth jumped onto the woman's mid-back when she passed by it, latching onto it with her jaws and claws to bypass the momentum.

"Don't lump me in with human weakness!" Manka yelled, "I'm a lambia bitch!"

"I guess she really is a python!" Lindy yelled in excitement, "This sight proves her insistence on the term [lamia] is warranted!"

The snake wrapped her tail around her body at lightning speed and squeezed, constricting the werewolf against her skin.

Pythons, like boa constrictors, bite into their victims, wrap their tails around their bodies, and constrict them. It brutally suffocates enemies of any size.

Unfortunately, Mirth wasn't a fool. Before the lamia could constrict, she chewed a head-sized hole into the woman's back.

Then she stuck her claws into it and popped upward.

As a result, when Manka constricted her, she unintentionally pushed the woman into her back.

In a grotesque display of power, the doll-sized werewolf clawed, chewed, and swallowed her way into the snake woman's back at ghostly speed.

When she got to the woman's spine, her eyes glowed golden as her jaw opened unnaturally wide—

CRRRAAAAACK!

—and bit the snake woman's spine and ripped her head backward, cracking it in half.

Everyone watched in shock as the lamia's muscles went limp releasing Mirth. The werewolf unburied her head, pressed against the snake woman's tail to release her body, and jumped.

Before the haremites could comprehend what happened, a blood-soaked wolf flew out of the way as Manka crashed onto the ground with lifeless eyes.

The colosseum fell silent as the werewolf jumped onto the paralyzed woman's muscular chest.

"AWHOOOOOOOOOO!" Mirth howled in a battle cry, looking at the moon.

While there was a chance that the lamia's snake body had a different nervous system, and she could get whipped with a tail, it was irrelevant.

If it were a real fight, the werewolf would have already ripped out Manka's jugular vein and ended the fight.

As a result, the match was called, and a vibrant golden light washed over the arena, healing both women.

The crowd fell silent, watching the scene in disbelief. It was so gruesome and surreal that the haremites couldn't comprehend what they watched.

It wasn't until—

"T-That was SO FUCKING AWESOME!" Lindy yelled.

—their announcer screamed that the entire area exploded into chaotic applause and screams.

"I wish these women were leveled up during the Paradise Road event!" Lindy yelled excitedly, "They would've turned those titans into living mascots of our power!"

Explosive battle cries shattered the airwaves.

Manka's eyes glazed over, staring into the nighttime sky. She couldn't believe she had lost to anyone but Caitlyn, Lindy, or Tricksie.

Worse, it was her only muscular competitor that beat her.

Now she was receiving pity—

"Caitlyn could've killed those meatheads instantly, but we couldn't do so without them falling onto the battleground." Lindy explained.

"B-But just think about it! Manka could've constricted those twice-grilled neanderthals in place while Mirth chomped their spine!

No one would mess with us if they saw something that delightfully TRA-MA-TIC!

Give it up for MANKA LAMIA!"

Manka's eyes widened in shock as explosive cheers rang out. Everyone was giving the woman a full standing ovation on the ground.

Their ecstatic faces were undeniable proof of their true intentions.

"Now for your winner, MIRTH REINPACK!"

The airwaves shook violently as battle cries, and wild screams rang into the nighttime sky.

Leon and Caitlyn laughed when they heard the commotion from over a mile away.

"Well, it's time to go back." He announced while stretching his arms, "This sketchy [Shiloh] woman attempt to murder me if I don't show up."

The blonde nodded and pushed off his body. "I'll be right back."

Leon nodded in understanding as she dressed and moved to the recently set up restrooms.

Mirth transformed back into her human form and jumped off the lamia, naked as people were accustomed to.

Manka released her giant form after, and they both appraised each other's bare, muscular bodies.

All the haremites burst into laughter at their post-match standoff.

"Remember, men!" Lindy roared, "You may enjoy the beast women here getting nakey, but remember that you'll never see this scene uncensored. They'll kill all of you before transforming back!"

The crowd roared with laughter, marking the full end of the match.

"It seems you can kill without squeezing." Mirth laughed while extending her hand to the lamia.

Manka took her hand and stood up in annoyance. "Of course. I'm sixty feet tall. Gravity alone could kill these weak humans."

"Well, there's that." The canine woman laughed.

"What's the secret behind that muscle?

Crushing with your hands only works out your flexor digitorum profundus, and constricting works out your snake body."

The buff snake woman grabbed her dreads and pulled them behind her shoulders.

"Eatin' some truly nasty shit." Manka laughed, "The workout diet I had on my planet would give you nightmares."

Mirth burst into laughter, and the snake woman joined in.

"So what's up with that crazy tone muscle?" Manka asked, "Your body should expand if you're that defined."

"Low caloric intake." The canine replied, "I never let my muscles expand because I have [good taste] in muscles."

The lamia gave her a murderous glare, and the canine returned it. Then they burst into laughter again.

"I guess we'll have to ask that crazy man." Manka chuckled, "We'll see if he also took your approach on purpose or if he's naturally measly."

"I guess our leader is the tiebreaker." Mirth laughed in amusement, "His opinion is the only one that matters anyway."

"Yeah, about that." The lamia remarked, "What's up with your obsequious behavior? Is that just a dog thing?"

"Hoh? You're interested in something other than muscles?" The canine woman mused, triggering an icy glare from her rival.

Mirth turned around and started walking to the gate.

"I suppose you'll have to ask that question later." She said with a wave, "Give us something to talk about."

Manka laughed in annoyance. "I suppose so. You're strong, so I think I can tolerate it."

"Yeah, I'll ask about that obsession to strength, too." The canine yelled while walking out of the gate.

"Remember this day, ladies!" Lindy ordered, "It's the day when the most toxic friendship ever was born!"

The haremites exploded with cheers, howls, and whistles, making Manka smile wryly as she slithered into the gate.

After Caitlyn returned, Leon hopped onto her with his hands around her neck and whispered into her ear.

"If you use Blessed Healing, I'll let you choke yourself to your heart's delight." He offered.

Caitlyn had a skill that allowed her to heal herself or others by 20%, which she had yet to need.

The closest need was on Paradise Road, but she didn't have mana, and the issue was the fire.

Now, he offered to let her leave bruise marks on her neck if she healed them before others saw.

An icy chill crawled the blonde's spine when she heard the offer.

"P-Please." Caitlyn whispered.

"Then take it away." Leon chuckled.

Without delay, she took flight into the nighttime sky at Mach 1, showcasing the full might of her lower demigod status and the unknown gains they achieved together.

Within seconds they made it to the stadium. When they got there, she flew upward into the sky.

From a height of 4000 feet, she used Blessed Healing, lighting the area like a firework and triggering a wave of shocked cheers.

The angel and the leader flew down from the sky, blessing the arena with their presence.

Everyone greeted the two with thunderous applause, celebrating the monumental occasion.

Caitlyn blushed, and Leon chuckled openly, taking subtle bows to play the part.

Then he whispered into the blonde's ear, and she sent a wry smile to the sky.

A moment later, the blonde flew high speed into the stands, where Leon grabbed Tricksie by the scruff of her neck, taking her to the skybox.

It triggered more cheers, whistles, and laughter as the confused bunny flailed in the air.

However, the colosseum devolved into pandemonium and chaos when he dropped her onto a chair, reached over and grabbed Lindy.

He connected his lips to hers a split second later, sending the haremites into a frenzy.

Gifting notifications exploded like machine gun fire for Leon, Caitlyn, and Lindy.

Even Tricksie, the increasingly confused bunny woman, got gifts, making her cover her hands in embarrassment.

Leon disconnected his lips from Lindy and looked into her eyes.

"I just had a gentle magical experience—"

Caitlyn blushed, joining Tricksie in covering her face.

"—I expect to learn how to become a Harem God from you."

Leon gave Lindy a charming smile, and she blushed as well. However, she recovered quickly and gave him a predatory gaze.

"I'll teach you things that will make the Harem God blush." She declared while slightly narrowing her eyes.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

God Candidate Lindy has declared a challenge against the reining Harem God, Alcibiades.

A major event opportunity is available, where the Harem God is heavily handicapped.

The rewards for participating will be unparalleled.

Do you accept? [Yes/No]

Leon casually pressed [No] without hesitation. His action was captured on God Display, causing the haremites to explode in cheers.

The Dainty Death Squad had a passionate moment, staring at each other. Leon even made eye contact with Reina and gave her an accepting smile, making her blush.

Reina's long-term absence from the group, and her need to prove herself trustworthy, made her the least developed group.

However, she felt that a relationship with him wasn't off the table. It made her heart flutter.

Leon turned to face the audience.

"I have returned because there is an extremely strange fight that warrants my attention." He announced.

"A woman that no one has ever met, and isn't recorded on the census, has challenged our city manager, Cynthia Niflheim, to a duel."

The haremites calmed down in astonishment, processing his words.

"Well, this woman has my attention." Leon said with eyes glinted with murderous intent.

"It was bold to show up unannounced and challenge a skilled fighter, so let's see how things play out. You can come out, Shiloh."

When the woman unexpectedly walked out into the arena instantly, everyone gasped in bewilderment, some more than others.

Not because she was creepily waiting but because of her appearance.

The person that was most twisted was Cynthia herself, who looked down onto the arena with a perplexed expression.

[A/N: Satisfying? None of the haremites have won awards XD That will change in the next chapter. ;) Prepare to meet a wild character. ]
