The mana alarm cut through the air like an enchanted blade, loud and insistent, making the floating harps go out of tune and the chandeliers tremble. Screams exploded in the main hall — noble girls running in panic, dresses tearing in the shoving, semi-human servants drawing weapons. Rebecca was still glued to me, her pussy throbbing around my half-soft cock after cumming, cum dripping down her thighs. Our sweaty bodies pressed against the wall of the empty corridor.
"Shit… this is bigger than the alarm from before," she murmured, mana pulsing in alert. Her hypnotic eyes wide now, not from lust, but from real danger. "Tower anomaly echoing here. Something broke through the academy barrier."
I smiled internally, despite the pain throbbing in my back — Nightmare echo mixed with her nails digging in. PV full, new exclusive partner unlocked, remote cure ready. The Beast purred satisfied, hunger sated for now.
[Current PV: 5,812 / Base Consumption: 0.85 PV/min]
[System: Fufufu~ Look at that, master… perfect chaos for more hunting. Rebecca is marked as exclusive — betrayal venom active. But look at the packed hall full of scared nobles… virgins running, high mana. Time to invest in something new?]
Fuck, the system bitch read my mind perfectly. After the victory in the Second Nightmare, accumulated loot included the tyrant crystals — enough corrupted pink/blue mana for an upgrade. I felt it: a new skill blinking in the interface, expensive but promising.
[New Skill Available: Beast's Scent (Initial Rank) – Releases mana pheromones that amplify female desire in an area. Passive effect in proximity, active in crowds. Bonus PV from collective excitement. Cost: 1500 PV initial + variable consumption.]
Insane investment — it would burn almost everything I gained from fucking Rebecca. But in the coming chaos…? Immediate return. Women in panic, ambient mana vibrating with the tower anomaly, amplified desire would give points in bulk. Absolute sexual survival.
"Buy it," I thought firmly.
[Confirmed. Unlocking Beast's Scent… Fufufu~ This is going to be fun, master. Women will smell you and go crazy~]
A subtle heat rose from my chest, pink mana leaking from my pores like primal perfume. The scent undetectable normally, but for females — irresistible. Rebecca inhaled deeply first, eyes glazing over with immediate lust again.
"Shade… what are you…" She moaned low, her pussy contracting around my cock again. "I'm soaking wet as fuck again. Fuck me more."
But there was no time. The ground shook hard — a guttural roar coming from the hall. Something big breaking through the ceiling, bony claws sinking into the marble. Mana tyrant, similar to the one in the Nightmare, five milky eyes fixed on the crowd. Invocation from the anomaly, tower echo.
Total chaos. Nobles running toward the exits, princes drawing enchanted swords, Marie shouting orders to the five targets. Olivia in the corner, scared eyes searching — maybe for me or Rebecca.
The Beast's Scent activated passively. Nearby women froze subtly, nostrils flaring, blush rising. Some looked at me, unconsciously licking their lips.

[+100 PV – Amplified Effect on Exclusive Partner]
Rebecca moaned loudly, hands squeezing my ass. "Fuck… I can't stop wanting you. But the creature…"
The tyrant advanced, smashing a luxurious table, focusing on the mobs first. Daniel and Raymond running in panic, but too slow.
I summoned the serrated weapon from inventory — the rusted blade glowing with subtle pink. Rebecca with strong mana beside me, summoning partial armor.
"Stay close," I growled at her. "You're mine now."
She smiled maliciously despite the danger. "And you're mine, you dangerous fuck."
I advanced into the hall, Scent amplifying. Women in the way stopped their escape, eyes glazed at me — some virgins blushing hard, mana leaking desire.
[+300 PV – Crowd Excitement (x25 targets)]
[System: That's it, master! They're smelling your Beast. Activate active mode for insane bonus — but be careful, it consumes fast if you don't fuck soon~]
The tyrant roared, bony arm swinging at a group of mobs. I rolled avoiding the shards, sword plunging into the lower joint — blade sinking deep, cruel twist tearing venomous tendons.
The creature convulsed, but didn't fall. Milky eyes now fixed on me — did it recognize the similar corrupted mana?
Rebecca fired a mana fire spell, burning a side eye. "This shit doesn't die easy!"
Fuck, just like in the Nightmare — resistant as hell. Maybe it wouldn't die conventionally. I needed the core or something.
Chaos continued: nobles fleeing to the exits, but the academy barrier cracking, tower anomaly pulsing in sync with my SIS.
Marie in the center, princes protecting her. Her eyes crossed mine for a second — irritation? Recognition? She was murmuring something about "background character ruining everything".
Olivia ran to my side, uniform disheveled. "Shade! Rebecca! What's happening?"
Rebecca pulled her possessively. "Stay with us, little sister. He protects both of us now."
Olivia blushed hard — the Scent hitting her too. Eyes dropping to my cock still outlined in my pants.
[+200 PV – Amplified Virgin Excitement]
The tyrant advanced again, but slower — wounds accumulating. Essential time: kill or flee before reinforcements or worse.
The Beast laughed inside me. Perfect chaos to devour — literally and sexually.
