Original Harpy Queen

Once the harpies saw Sky killing the Wolf Emperor, they immediately understood how the wolf King was killed.

They felt ashamed to tarnish Carnage's image by saying that she seduced the wolf king and sacrificed her team leader Mey.

So they called upon a colony meeting and announced that the Wolf King and the Wolf Emperor were killed by Sky.

The crowd accepted the news because it came directly from their queen. At the same time the queen also announced that she would be stepping down as the queen and a new queen would be selected.

This shocked the crowd and the thirteen harpies with her. They never thought she would make this kind of decision.

The thirteen and the queen let the crowd disperse while they stayed near the queen's nest.

Sky and Carnage soon came to them. Sky was wearing only a towel around his waist and his upper body was exposed.

But the harpies only thought of him as a Monster, they were not influenced by his charm. Only Carnage looked shy when ever she looked at his upper body.

The harpy queen came in front of him and bowed, showing her respect for him. He had saved their colony from the disaster of the Wolf Emperor. So she showed her respect.

"Do you know your mistake?" Sky asked her.

"Yes! It was my mistake to have thoughts about sacrificing Carnage and trying to kill you." She said her head still bowed down.

"Do you know what you have to do?"

"Yes! I will take responsibility for my actions, I will listen to any punishment that is directed at me. I wish you will not harm the colony."

Sky nodded and gestured her to come closer. The harpy queen had a bad premonition when she saw Sky's smile.

But she dared not oppose him. She came closer. Sky made Carnage move a little away from him and started moving around the harpy queen.

He rolled his eyes all over her whole body, not avoiding the sensitive parts, the harpy queen also did not mind his gaze allowing him to freely see her.

He finally stopped, facing her back, "I want the colony's secret art." He said.

"Our colony's secret art can only be used by harpies, it doesn't have any use to you." She said without arguing. She had already lost all her rights to bargain. She could only try to convince him.

"It's not for me." Sky answered simply.

The harpy queen looked towards Carnage who was a little distance away with jealousy. She then nodded her head.

Sky suddenly closed on her back and whispered, "You are not the original are you?"

The harpy queen shivered to his words, but she calmed down and asked in whisper, "How did you figure it out?"

Sky smiled, "let's go to your original body, I will explain everything to her directly."

He then started to move towards the nest on top of the tree. The harpy queen gritted her teeth and followed him to the top of the tree.

Sky stood outside a room on the nest. The harpy queen tried to sense his thoughts, but she could not figure it out in the end.

"Open it." He said.

She nodded and opened the door to the room. There was nothing special in the room, it had one bed and some fruits on a table.

On the bed was a harpy that looked about ten years old. She currently had her eyes closed.

"We have come to my original body. Now can you tell me, how you figured it out." The harpy queen asked.

Sky shook his head, "I want to talk to your original." He said.

The harpy queen really wanted to say that even though this body was fake, her original was the one controlling it. So talking to her was the same as talking to the original.

But seeing that Sky would not leave until her original got up, she closed her eyes and the consciousness returned to her original body.

Her original body slowly got up and looked at Sky, "now tell me. How did you figure it out."

Sky was carefree as he made himself home, he plucked a grape from the fruits and downed it into his throat.

"Well, I did not figure it out until Carnage mentioned that your colony's secret art was about duplication. Creating another body and let your consciousness take over it. Sounds like a great art to me." He said as he took an apple and bit it.

"Only that!" She asked.

"Not only that, obviously, I sensed something off for the first time seeing your response to the Wolf Emperor. And the look that you gave him, it would be impossible to see someone with that look if they have had your body once."

"You also told that you have already guessed his betrayal. So you must have prepared some countermeasures in advance. And I sensed a strong aura emitting from this nest during my fight with the wolf."

"If I am not wrong, you are already at level three right. Fooling the Wolf Emperor was a easy thing to your fake body, wasn't it."

"What were going to do? Did you plan to lure all the wolves and kill them in one shot." He asked.

The original body looked into Sky eyes, Sky sensed a deep hidden bitterness in those eyes. But that was none of his concern, he wanted to know what she was going to do.

She slowly opened her small mouth and started speaking, " For some unspeakable reasons, I cannot leave and stay outside the colony."

"So I thought I would attract all the wolves inside and kill them once and for all, this way we would have food for the next few winters."

".."

"What were going to do, if the wolf really kept his promise and had not attacked the colony." Sky asked again.

"Then I would have really sacrificed Carnage and gained level two for my fake body, and explain that the wolf was not attacking because he and I were on the same level." She answered.

Sky was not angry at her for this answer, at least she was straight forward, he liked dealing with this kind of people.

He then sat down on the bed and gestured her to stand in front of him.

The harpy queen stood in front of him without argument. Now that he was seeing her for the second time, she looked cute just like a child.

He raised his right hand and stroked her chin, she shivered a bit, but soon adjusted to his touch.

Sky only smiled, moving his hands over to her waist. He suddenly lifted her and placed her on his lap in a way that her butt was visible, and spanked her.

He spanked her twice more before releasing her, "that is the punishment you deserve. Now give me the secret art and I would leave."

The original harpy queen glared at Sky, she rubbed her small butt softly. Sky was ruthless to her butt, hitting it without restraining his strength.

She took out a small scroll from inside her sleeves and threw it at him. "I wish you won't mention about me to anyone." She said as he was about to leave.

Sky nodded and left. A short while after, the fake body emerged from the room. She had an expressionless face as she greeted the other harpies.

Sky took out the secret scroll and gave it to Carnage. "Why don't you try it out right now?" He said.

Carnage nodded and opened the scroll. She studied the scroll and moved her internal energy accordingly.

Internal energy was a concept that was present in monsters of level one and above. Since she was level three, she obviously knew about internal energy.

As she revolved her internal energy as mentioned in the scroll, another body started appearing from her original body.

Sky nodded, seeing the scroll was authentic and the harpy queen did not scam him.

Carnage completely separated her fake after some time.

To everyone's surprise her fake did not look like a harpy at all. In fact her fake body looked like a human. A human female.

Carnage suddenly fell down and lost consciousness, her face turned pale and breathing speed decreased.

Sky ran to her side hastily, and took her into his arms. He had also noticed that her fake body was her human form, but he did not care about it.

Carnage's face was pale, her heart was beating at a smaller rate. This scared Sky so much that, he forgot what he had to do.

It was the harpy queen who relaxed first and shouted at him to bring both the bodies on to the nest.

Sky immediately carried both the bodies and ran towards the original harpy queen's room.

The original harpy queen woke up just at the moment Sky entered. Her fake body had fainted near the other harpies.

"What is happening?" He shouted at her.

The original did not answer him, she moved towards carnage's Original body and examined it.

Then she shifted her attention to the fake human body and sighed.

"These two bodies are fighting for the ownership of the Carnage's consciousness." She said after a short gap.

"Fighting for ownership?" Sky was skeptical.

"Yes! I don't know how, but it seemed like Carnage had always had another human body within her or something similar. This is the reason for this situation." She explained.

Sky only understood know. Sure Carnage had the ability to transform between a harpy and a human. This might be the cause for it.

"Is there any way to eliminate her condition?" He asked.

"I can revolve her internal energy and make the human body enter Carnage again. This would stabilize her condition. But she would still not gain consciousness."

"The human body and the harpy body will continue to fight for the consciousness in her body. She would be alive in body but dead in consciousness." The harpy queen said Seriously.

"Isn't there a way to end that fight?" He was desperate now. If there was a way to let her gain consciousness he would do everything for her.

"There are two ways. First involves someone of great soul strength to guide her consciousness to take over one of her body."

"The second method involves increasing her power to level nine. At level nine, monsters can transform their monsters bodies into human forms. This is one of the requirement for them to practice soul cultivation."

"If Carnage reaches level nine. She could merge with her human body and gain a body which has double the potential of normal monsters in soul cultivation."

Sky shook his head, both of these were far away from him at his current stage. If he wanted Carnage to wake up faster, he would have to grow stronger faster.

The harpy queen made the human body go back into Carnage's harpy body by revolving the internal energy.

Making his decision, Sky got up. He took Carnage into his arms and walked out.

"What are going to do now." The harpy queen asked seeing him leave.

"I am going into the dungeon." Sky answered simply.

The harpy queen sighed and went back to her sleep.
