Chapter 237 237: Laura + Mildred Vs Stage 6 - Round 1
The cleansing of New Haven was swift.
Alexander allowed the vesta to rest in groups while she filled in all the gaps they created alone, amassing blood spears and raining them down on the unworthy mutants and zombies that no longer matched his eyes.
Four days passed, and today, they were clearing the final destination, ground zero in the north, which was now a complete wasteland after Laura and Alex evolved together.
Alex is watching me. I have to fight with all my power.
Laura was nervous after she became someone important to him. She felt more pressure as the other women began to see her as something more than just another vesta.
Amy, Stella, Sarah and Claire all seemed to see her as a rival, even more so due to the fact she was with him as he evolved last time.
I could easily see my status now, and it made me feel closer to him. He allowed me to take his name, to become his and bid farewell to my horrible past.
I won't forget my mother or family, but right now. I am his, forever and always.

Laura looked back to the large group of her sisters, the self-proclaimed wives of Alexander all stood in their battle gear as Mildred stood beside her. The two newest and most powerful evolved women stood together as they desired to test their power against a Stage Six monster to impress Alexander.
"Laura, are you ready?"
Mildred's voice became more confident and deep after her change. Her body was filled with an air of mysticism like an elf.
I felt a little jealous when Alexander called her his first ghoul, but I know he is referring to meeting her first and finally making her his corpse princess.
But I am the Ghoul Mother... Am I not FIRST? Let me show him my love, my power and my skill!
I will be first!
Deep down, Laura also knew there was no big meaning. To Alexander, they were all special, and those that entered his heart and joined that group of 9 women...
He loved them more than anything.

Her power makes me feel a little worried about the future because her growth is in areas that might counterme. I don't want to lose... I want to be his number one!
Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves and feelings, Laura's eyes stopped glowing dark red and returned to her beautiful look with silvery hair swaying in the swirling breeze.
"I was always ready. Mildred, take care of my back and let's show our beloved and those women who are so comfortable just how talented we are."
"Mmmm. I couldn't have said it better, so please let those daggers keep the enemy at bay, my new sister."
The pair of women were older and understood each other better as Laura's short body stepped forward, sliding two blood-red daggers from her thigh sheathes and spinning them around her fingers with a wicked grin.
"You see his strange eyes, Mildred try to blind them... He's like a spider."
Laura's eyes narrowed, looking at the mutant that swayed strangely in the centre of the ruins with eight eyes wrapping around the torn flesh of his head and huge elongated arms with sharp claws on them.
It was a strange evolution and caused them both to feel a sense of tension as Laura attacked.
Like a jet of black light, she tore through the air and rushed towards the enemy with daggers in both hands.
Yet a blur shot from beside Laura, making her surprised as Mildred moved faster, rushing towards the stage six mutant with red arrows appearing on her fingertips, firing rapidly as the mutant screeched, dodging the attack while Laura arrived.
"Haa!"
She screamed, attacking the mutant's eyes with two bright red flashes of light, blinding one pair of eyes instantly as the mutant screeched angrily, swiping its arm towards Laura with incredible speed.
Yet Laura vanished, reappearing behind the mutant in a cloud of smoke and dust, her eyes glowing red before stabbing the eye sockets of the previous pair of eyes with a grin.
"This is easy... How boring."
Laura complained, but suddenly, the mutant's body began to swell, bubbling and writhing as its flesh tore apart...
A huge, black and red spider appeared with long, sleek fangs oozing with venom, and several of the broken eyes were now repaired as its webbing shot towards Mildred.
Mildred fired a wave of arrows in an effort to tear them with her bloody claws, but the web was too strong, forcing her to dodge as the ground began to melt and bubble after it splashed the entire three-metre area around where she stood before.
"Let's work together, Mildred; this spider is disgusting..."
Laura complained, vanishing again as the spider roared, shooting webs from its mouth at Mildred, who dodged effortlessly.
Mildred's agility was lower than Laura who was like a spectre dodging and slashing the spider's exoskeleton with green and black gunk oozing into the air, while she had to use her entire body to jump and dash out of the way.
"Die, spider freak."
Yet Laura's victory was brief; the spider suddenly changed, becoming faster and agile, shocking Laura and Mildred as it sprayed venomous mist into the face of Laura before two thick black legs smashed into her body.
"Haa...this shit..."
Laura cursed, coughing blood as she was sent flying, crashing into the rubble with two long black hairs that were vibrating while piercing her shoulders as Mildred attacked, slashing its abdomen with bloody arrows, tearing open its skin and flesh as it screamed angrily.
"Laura!?"
Mildred's attacks with the arrows were masterful, but she realised this wasn't enough... She sought somehow to defeat the monster with high regeneration and defence.
Mildred needed firepower, and Laura was injured.
Suddenly, a black cloud wrapped around Mildred; as Laura pulled her out of the way, the spider's body vanished before stabbing the ground deeply, almost killing Mildred instantly.
"Are you okay, Laura?!"
Mildred cried out, helping Laura remove the spider hairs as she spat blood, nodding weakly as the spider appeared again, roaring before shooting webbing towards Mildred.
"I hate spiders... fucking disgusting..."
"How do we beat something stronger and faster than us?" She continued, carrying Mildred as her legs darted around the ruins, leaping from stone to building as the spider destroyed them in hot pursuit.
"I will carry you, use your arrows to blind it, shoot each eye several times, don't worry. We can do it."
"Are you sure?"
"Ahh."
"We are the mother and first female ghouls. Let's not embarrass ourselves."
