Harem Overlord: I ALWAYS Finish Quick!

Chapter 65 Codename: Aurora (1)



Selecting [Yes], Ryan waited. And waited. And waited.

No notification, no flashy lights, nothing. Ryan would have thought the conversion failed, if not for opening his ability page and seeing this:

[5. Harem Knight (1/100): The battle forces of the Harem Master (Have to swear an oath of loyalty)]

'Sometimes heavens, you are so helpful, other times…'

"Thank you for accepting me, my liege," Velmuuth said, raising her head and standing.

Still clinging to Ryan's back, Zoey whispered, "What about me?"

"I'll tell you when we get back to campus," Ryan said, thinking of the 0 cooldowns if a 'sensual ceremony' is performed.

'For once, the heavens and I are speaking the same language.'

"I'll see you there," Zoey said and suddenly leaped off his back and hopped into the distance toward the academy.

'Should I go after her?' Ryan thought, seeing Zoey bound into the distance. 'Nah, if she does tell someone, who's going to believe her? Plus if she truly is going to wait for me, I'll know she's worth keeping around.'

"Emily, are you alright?" Ryan asked, thinking this might have been her first sight of blood.

"Alright?" Emily asked, tilting her head.

"With the blood."

"Yeah, none of it got on me," She replied, rechecking her now rain-soaked bath towel.

"Well, ok then. Good to know," Ryan shook his head a little. They always kept him guessing.

Ryan stared at the rain clouds that were slowly receding. They reminded him of his oath and what it signified.

'What did the heavens mean by Multiverse?' Ryan asked Lizzy telepathically. He was willing to expose his naivete in this subject to get some answers, although only to the smartest member of his harem.

Lizzy responded in kind, 'Mother has told me that every few thousand years, a heaven's chosen does something that has the potential to integrate Ravier into the Multiverse.'

'Although nobody knows for sure what the Multiverse is, rumor has it that the heavens once gave a quest to a chosen relating to the Multiverse. Inside the quest, it described the Multiverse as a collection of every galaxy that has birthed an 'average' chosen.'

'The rumor claims that our S-Rank cultivators are like ants before the true powers of the Multiverse.'

Ryan mulled over Lizzy's information in silence until he was interrupted by Velmuuth.

"My liege," Velmuuth said tentatively, "if you are planning to act before the attack on the BCN, we should leave quickly."

'What should I do about the Dawn Pavilion?'

At first, he had wanted to get a few heavenly credits from the Dawn Pavilion, but now he was stuck in a conundrum.

'Since those two soldiers had been following me, the human empire must know about the plot. Since the human empire seems to be related to this Holy Alliance by association, the BCN. They are sure to stop the attack.'

"Do you have a way to contact the rest of your team?" Ryan asked.

"No, we disabled our communication devices so we couldn't be tracked, just like these two people from the military did. It's a common tactic used when you are in an open space, not surrounded by a lot of people," Velmuuth said, looking at the two dead bodies on the ground.

Ryan was about to tell Velmuuth that the human empire probably knew about the attack when a small dark portal appeared.

[Time limit for 'Harem Summon' has expired, transporting Harem Members back to respective locations.]

With a sucking pull, the three girls were swallowed by the portal vanishing from sight.

'I wonder if,' looking down at his pants he shook his head. 'No too dangerous.'

Letting the portal close without risking his manhood, Ryan turned to Velmuuth, "Where is your team now?"

' I'll die in 10 years if I don't destroy the human empire, even if I somehow cure my curse in a year and a half. So, I might as well stop them from killing their enemy's special forces.'

Velmuuth replied, "The team should be waiting outside the Dawn Pavilion 35 miles from here. This location is the largest Dawn Pavilion outside of the capital of the human empire. Half the space is used to store the servers that work inside Kheaweth's territory."

(Inside the Dawn Pavilion 35 miles from Ryan)

"Sargent, have you heard from commander hairy er I mean commander Pycheck?" A stout, red-faced woman in a dark blue uniform asked a tall young sergeant.

"No. They've turned off their communications. But last we heard, they had orders to stop subject one from entering any of the Dawn Pavilions."

"Why?" The officer looked puzzled. "I don't understand."

"Our spies informed us that codename 'Aurora' set up aura scanners at each of her Pavilions in secret to look for subject one."

"Aurora did what?" The officer's face went white. "Doesn't the Holy Alliance control the Dawn Pavilion? How could we let this happen?"

The sergeant replied, "The contract is not absolute, officer. Aurora has the right to conduct private business there. In fact, Aurora owns it outright. We would have liked for her to join the Holy Alliance as our ally. Unfortunately, Aurora didn't, leaving the previous three empresses no choice but to enact the secret clauses. The clauses have helped them to manipulate the situation to suit the Alliance."

'I still think the grand empress lied to us and really would have enacted the clauses no matter what,' the sergeant thought.

The sergeant continued, "Plus, remember the fact that we don't want to alert 'Aurora' or the other alliance members that we are the one's behind the school fire thirteen years ago."

As the officer was about to respond she heard a man shout: "OK thank you! See you soon. I'll be back. Can you tell me your names and maybe you can help me with the tour?"

A few minutes earlier…

Landing near the Dawn Pavilion, Velmuuth then scanned the area, trying to look for signs of her team.

She turned to look at Ryan, "Are you sure the out that the humans found out?"

"Yes. Those two had probably been following me for weeks," Ryan said, referring to the hairy commander and young officer who just died.

"My teammates appear to have already gone inside. My liege, will you allow me to go in?"

"I'm going inside, You wait for your team out here."

'Worst case scenario I have to fake being brainwashed again.'

Ryan entered a clearing and held his breath looking at a set of large glass doors connected to a lavish building. Water features, marble columns, gilded sculptures, and rich gems decorated the ornate building. 'Well, such is the riches of the Dawn Pavilion.'

Unbeknownst to Ryan, as he entered the door to the lavish building, alarms went off in the restricted floors of an equally lush Dawn Pavilion in a remote part of Ravier.

Two security guards approached Ryan as he walked around the lobby of the breathtaking building.

"Excuse me," one security guard asked, coming almost face-to-face with Ryan. "Can I help you?"

"Well, I'm doing a project on ornate or baroque architecture, so I thought I would come inside the building to take some notes," Ryan said, waving one hand across the air as if he was selling the building.

"Normally schools inform us of students coming in for projects," the pudgy guard said.

"No one informed us of a visit," sniffed the second guard. "By the way, I don't see you writing anything down."

"It's all locked up here," Ryan replied, pointing to his head, nodding. "You would be amazed at what my brain retains!" He began chuckling.

"Excuse me, guards," interjected the receptionist. "Can you come here for a moment?"
