Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Kumiko's strength increased explosively since she learned how to harness her divine blood, creating clones capable of combat.

Thanks to her devoted and determined nature, ever since learning of her strength, the kitsune spent at least six hours a day training until she could barely stand.

However, this wasn't known to anyone…

Because Kumiko wanted to spend time with Nikolai, she would have her clones train throughout the day while enjoying time with him. Thus, the six hours grew to twelve hours, and then twelve became twenty-four.

Kumiko exhausted herself using her clones, maintaining the focus of flirting with Nikolai while simultaneously controlling and directing her clones.

This led to Kumiko's strength increasing explosively while abusing her divine bloodline.

"You look stronger than I remember."

Nikolai's lips curled into a grin when he focused on his beloved fox wife.

His skin tingled as if someone pricked their skin with small needles the moment Kumiko's aura dispersed through the cave.

"You look more handsome than I remember." Kumiko's raspy, seductive voice echoed through the cavern as she stepped closer, two vague clones of her splitting from the main body.

He focused his gaze on her figure as his pupils shimmered with aura.

'Interesting.'

The colours of affection, obsession, obedience, and delight spread from each of the clones in vivid, saturated hues. Nikolai couldn't help but curl his lips into a wolfish smirk, seeing the amount of aura flickering from her clones and the main body.

'She's improved her strength at least five times in such a short time.'

Nikolai didn't always check the strength of his women, to enjoy the sudden growth like this moment, as she growled at him and shifted closer.

He slid his tongue across his lips, removing the remnants of Risa's blood, before tensing his right leg and pushing off the ground.

His figure vanished for a moment, before appearing beside Kumiko's clone. His eyes narrowed, watching the other clone vanish as Kumiko's aura spiked higher than before.

The corners of his lips curled upward, his chest puffing up as he leaned forward.

"I don't know how you got so strong, but I am proud of you," Nikolai whispered in a deep tone, licking his lips while leaning closer until their breaths were mere centimetres apart.

If he could explain the pride he felt with words, the moment her second clone appeared at his side, faster and stronger than Nikolai expected. Kumiko's warm breath blew against his face, the scent of lavender tickling his nostrils as he took a moment to inhale her scent.

Nikolai's eyes flicked to the clone attacking him. Its movements were precise but still too slow.

He raised his hand and caught it by the throat before the clone vanished into a golden mist. The next moment, two fists struck him from the side and back.

Kumiko released her clones instantly before launching a sudden counterattack. Her fangs showed as she snarled, and she narrowed her eyes in a crescent moon shape.

"Are we playing around? I thought you wanted a fight?"

She purred out her words, shifting her body to the side when the clone behind Nikolai attacked. Kumiko's fist connected with his cheek, sending him stumbling to the left as the clone charged after him.

A low chuckle vibrated from his chest as he licked his lips. "I did say that," he admitted, turning to face Kumiko, raising his arms in defence, and catching the second clone's fist.

"But now, I want something else." He chuckled, slamming his fist into the clone's chest and sending it flying through the cave.

"Ugh!"

The shared pain caused Kumiko's face to contort for a moment as the clone faded into nothingness.

Despite the pain, the fox lunged at him with a series of well-timed jabs. Kumiko was on the offensive, forcing Nikolai to raise his arms in defence. It was almost impossible to land an attack between Kumiko's flurry of blows.

The clone followed up each time a gap appeared, frustrating Nikolai who struggled to find an opening to switch to the offensive.

'She's good.'

Nikolai was impressed, but he refused to lose this fight. He slid back, creating some distance between them, before focusing his senses on the vibrations of the surrounding air.

Kumiko tried to take advantage of her ability, constantly dismissing and summoning her clones. She moved at such high speeds that even Nikolai's sharp eyes couldn't keep up, but he knew how to predict their movements.

The first rule of combat is to maintain focus and remain calm no matter what.

Though her strength increased because she practised alone, Kumiko developed a few bad habits, one of them being the sound she made during attacks.

'She's attacking from behind and the left!'

Nikolai grinned, spinning around just as the clone's fist flew past his face, and slammed his palm into its chest, followed by a secondary jab and finishing her with a lunging elbow.

The force sent the clone crashing into the wall, vanishing before it hit the ground.

'One down!' He twisted around and blocked Kumiko's incoming attack with his arm before delivering a swift kick to her stomach.

Kumiko staggered back, groaning in pain as she held her stomach.

"Exciting enough for you?" Nikolai's low voice echoed in the cave as he stood beside Kumiko, reaching out and stroking her cheek with a faint smile. "I think I've seen enough," he added, taking a step forward and wrapping his arm around her waist.

"I know how much you want to impress me, but pretending to be in a blood frenzy isn't good."

Nikolai lifted Kumiko off the ground, her arms, and legs dangling before he lifted his hand, and brought it down with a swift snap and slapped her buttocks.

PAH!

"A good fox."

"Ahhn~ don't hit my ass—"

PAH!

"Doesn't"

"Nnngh… forgive me."

PAH!

"Play Tricks!"

PAH!

"On her Master!"

PAH!

"I was wrong, forgive me~ I was wrong!"

His lips curled into a smirk, stroking her plump buttocks while caressing the warm, squishy meat. Kumiko's tails wriggled about and flailed in all directions as he fondled her. She tried to protest, but he wasn't having any of it.

"So, do you understand now, training is good? But you need to have other people to avoid developing bad habits."

The more his hand stroked her slightly swollen rump, the softer the kitsune became, no longer acting violent or in a frenzy, she dropped her pretence. The soft whimpers escaping her mouth told Nikolai everything he needed to know.

"I was naughty,

I'm sorry~

I'll never pretend again."

Her hips wiggled like she was trying to get away, but he wouldn't let go.

He raised his hand high and brought it down hard, causing another loud smack to echo throughout the cave.

"Hyan!"

Kumiko created a lovely sound as her flesh jiggled beneath his palm.

"You won't? Then why were you doing it?"

Nikolai questioned her, watching the fox turn her head to look away from him, her cheeks red.

"To make you excited…"

Her voice grew smaller as she admitted the truth.

"What was that?" He asked again, smirking and raising his eyebrow.

She pouted and looked at him with big puppy eyes, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. "I wanted to make you excited and protect the humans from the other women in secret!"

Nikolai rolled his eyes, but smiled regardless.

"I see, after all my fox isn't a bad girl."

He stroked her head, before slipping his hands underneath her knees and lifting her into his arms.

Kumiko nuzzled her head against his shoulder, purring softly. "Won't you suck my blood too?"

The fox begged for him to taste her blood.

He laughed softly before lowering his mouth and gently pressing his lips against the smooth skin of her neck. A slight shiver ran through Kumiko's body when he bit into her tender flesh.

"Nnnn~ so good," Kumiko whispered, closing her eyes in bliss.

A short while passed in the dark tunnels, while Kumiko briefed Nikolai on what happened when he vanished through the strange doorway, and how Ryan and the woman also vanished.

'Strange, I didn't see Ryan or that woman… did they get sent somewhere else?'

Selene and Risa walked behind him with their faces turned to the ground, embarrassed about what happened earlier.

"Ryan and the woman seem to have reappeared in the human tent a short while ago, thanks to my clones, I can do things like this, hehe." Kumiko finished her explanation and leaned against his chest, enjoying the warmth of his embrace.

Nikita occupied the other side, ignorant of her actions.

"That's good, what about the other teams, did they suffer damage?" Nikolai's voice became stern. He wanted to avoid the situation where the world hunted for his women.

"The only deaths came from the village, dear husband, everyone else survived with minor injuries.

We would have killed more of those men if not for your order," Kumiko responded with a frown.

"Good girl, you all did well," Nikolai praised them with a broad grin.

"By the way… who is that woman?"

"Hmm? Oh yeah, I forgot about her. She's Amphitrite and helped me escape from the enemy territory and she; a skilled alchemist."

When he mentioned her name and abilities, the women gazed at each other before nodding, knowing what would soon happen.

"Another competitor…"

"A rival?"

"Her ass is huge!"

The whispered voices from behind entered his ears, but he ignored them for now. He needed to get his stuff back from the guard and warn Ryan about what had happened.

'I guess Nosferatu had a hand in this too…"
