Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

Pope Johan looked shocked, his face pale, before turning around to face the voice. His eyes widened before his lips distorted into a frown. "You should be dead!" He growled through gritted teeth.

"I made a promise." The figure in black armour emerged from the shadows. "That I would live through today."

"That isn't possible... you're cursed... you should be dead already..." Pope Johan stuttered, pointing his weapon towards the tall man.

Asmodeus, with black horns and huge wings, had his body wrapped in a protective exoskeleton, not armour, as it seemed, standing at just under seven feet tall.

He gazed at the knights for a moment before looking towards Yuina, her beautiful fair face, now pink and covered in sweat, while he noticed the wounds on everyone.

'They did their best... I should train more knights in the future.' With that thought in mind, Asmodeus' wings extended before he launched into a flying leap. While moving faster than the pope expected, he spread his palm towards the holy knights before conjuring a blood-red pillar of flames.

'I'll destroy you first.'

The fire vortex burst forward, rapidly growing until it reached nearly 15 feet wide.

"Stand your ground, protect me!"

Several knights turned blue from shock before charging forward as if compelled.

Then, he wrapped around the pope to protect him. A strange thing to do against such an attack, but their eyes were hollow the moment Johan called out.

As the hellfire roared towards the men, they took on a defensive stance.

"You won't survive that! You bastards are all too weak!" Asmodeus sneered while the flaming vortex swallowed them.

"Hahaha! Foolish man." A golden glow wrapped around Johan. He growled with bloodshot eyes focused on Asmodeus.

"I will crush that ego!" He then pointed out at Asmodeus, spit and saliva spraying from his lips. "You think you could defeat me with my true power!" He screamed and watched as one holy knight after another fell.

BOOM—!

Soon, a loud rumbling sound appeared before the enormous fire pillar faded away.

Several figures remained standing after the fiery vortex burned out—however, most of them collapsed after suffering heavy damage. Charred corpses began falling to the ground, revealing a tall man hidden behind their shield wall.

"Useless inferiors!" Johan's voice sounded distorted and eerie.

His face was a mass of bulging veins.

"Yuina!" Asmodeus shouted, lowering to the ground and facing off against the pope.

"What?!"

"Go help Group one, I can take care of this, but the knights which headed towards Alice number over three hundred."

Her tails drooped slightly at this command as her expression warped with anxiety.

However, she calmed herself and answered with a smile. "Got it," Yuina said with a hint of joy in her tone before running toward where Aki and Fuuka fought.

"I'm counting on you. Yui."

"Ah..." Her heart fluttered from his words before blushing like a maiden in love for the first time.

"It's you and me now. Is this how you greet a neighbour who moves into your domain?" The demon king walked forward slowly, step by step, while the clashing sounds of the distant battles intensified.

"Hahahaha!" Pope Johan kicked the wounded and dying knights before jumping over the charred bodies.

'After all, he's human garbage...'

He stood firm.

However, his glowing red eyes stared through Johan, yet he felt a cold chill.

"So, you come back for more? My lord granted me more of his love after I fought you last!" Johan's body expanded, muscles rippling as they grew larger.

"You seem much stronger..." Johan looked more menacing in his new form.

'I can sense a terrifying amount of that disgusting divine energy.'

Johan cracked his neck and stomped on the ground. He then lowered his hips before leaping high into the air—then crashed down onto the ground, leaving an enormous crater.

It seemed he wasn't used to this new power, as his mace missed Asmodeus by several metres, but the ground quaked violently when the giant weapon smashed into the earth.

Asmodeus hovered up into the sky with his black wings while feeling the powerful tremor.

"Don't try to flee!" Johan yelled before kicking the dirt to chase after Asmodeus.

However, even in his empowered state, he struggled to keep pace with a Demon King who learned to control his body, easily dodging Johan's fist. His tail's smashing into the pope's chest.

In mid-air, the pope groaned, barely blocking another blow. Stay updated with empire

"Damn demon!"

Johan slammed into the ground with a loud bang. His body spread apart and embedded into the rocks and dirt, and half the trees shattered into dust by his divine aura.

"This is nothing, you cursed bastard!"

A bright golden light gathered inside Johan's mouth. As the demon king charged him again, a massive energy beam burst forth. The heat caused the air to crackle. A vortex swirled around the destructive ray that threatened to disintegrate everything along its path.

This monstrous attack shook the entire forest.

"That won't stop me." Asmodeus took a sharp turn to avoid it, but the beam aimed straight at him, forcing him to fly higher into the air.

Johan continued shooting his breath attack for nearly a minute before gasping and coughing out blood.

"Ahhhh! Cough--!" Johan raised his head while spitting out crimson liquid and chunks of flesh from his mouth. "Fuck!"

'This bastard is a monster...'

Asmodeus landed beside him, holding his sword while wrapped in dozens of magic circles.

He no longer needed to fear this dirty divine power, his body absorbing the divine magic from the pope as if breathing. Asmodeus looked at the glowing pope with bulking muscles and dashed forward, his wings increasing his burst of speed several times.

"Your god will fail!"

"Such bullshit," Johan growled before swinging his weapon, but Asmodeus avoided his wild swings as if dancing upon glass.

Asmodeus, like a dance, slashed the flesh of Johan before piercing his stomach with his long, pointed tail.

Johan's face twisted in pain; his body contorted from agony, blood seeping into the ground. "Kill yourself!" He demanded. "You disgusting demon!"

An ear-shattering roar rumbled in Asmodeus' mind.

'Ah... Mephisto is trying to attack me through this mans aura.' His entire being screamed to destroy himself, yet the gentle touches of those girls gave him strength.

With their soft cries of ecstasy and warm feelings, they could feel their energy all over the forest. He wasn't the only one fighting. They all battled against the sinister whispers that invaded his mind.

"Do your best, demon! You're far too inferior to resist the God of Death!" Johan's mace whistled through the air before suddenly appearing right in front of the demon.

"You think I'll fall for that?" Asmodeus sneered.

BOOOOOM...!

A loud explosion echoed around him, yet he remained unharmed. His hand caught the pommel of Johan's massive weapon as dozens of sharp blood spears formed out of the magic circles around Asmodeus.

"Die, insect!"

The bladed projectiles launched towards Pope Johan in the blink of an eye, piercing through every part of his body.

Thump—Thud!

His colossal form wobbled while impaled on multiple bloody spikes.

"...how..." Johan gasped before coughing out blood.

"How am I so powerful?"

"You're not strong... just lucky..." Johan said before slumping in place. "...no... I'm sorry. Please save me, my lord..."

However... before he could receive any help, a black sword sliced his throat, and all the divine energy inside him...

Asmodeus devoured it.

Meanwhile, in the north, the situation turned out to be the worst.

"Haa....haa..... fuck..." Vinea's lips dripped with blood, Ciela held dual blades while standing beside her, and Alice also looked exhausted with her armour half destroyed. Her hair now looked red from the blood covering her body.

"Little Vinea, it seems we are out of options..."

Alice tried to lift her right arm, but it trembled, with dozens of bloody wounds and a deep gash down her forearm.

Sariel's beautiful form looked tragic, covered in blood and lacking mana. She looked pale, now panting behind the group as they returned to their normal forms.

'Everyone is exhausted... their forms have faded.'

'What can we do?'

Empress Aurelia looked down at the group of wounded demons; her knight's number dwindled.

"I guess this was your limit?"

Empress Aurelia narrowed her eyes before looking around at the few knights she had left—though she came with over three hundred, now barely fifty remained. "It seems you did rather well." Her wolf's ears flicked around, hearing a sound from the forest.

A moment later, a golden beam filled the sky and caused her to gasp. "Well even that arrogant man of yours should have died!" Aurelia started cackling before turning to the defeated women.

"It seems he lost, so why don't you submit?"

'You bitch! He's not dead.'

There was no way Alice would give up, nor would Vinea and the other women who had spent so long with Asmodeus at their side. Yet, this battle felt too harsh. They were only a small group, and the divine energy of Mephisto empowered the enemy.

'Shouldn't there be more? There aren't enough here...' Before Alice could think further, a figure appeared, dashing out of the thicket with her hand holding an eastern blade.

Vinea's eyes widened as she watched the blade slice through several knights. Yuina's golden hair flickered in front of her body, and a warm, golden aura wrapped around them.

"Are you alright, Lady Vinea?!" Yuina's healing aura slowly sealed their wounds as she lowered her hips and prepared to strike again. "Aki! My Knights Charge them!"

Behind the knights of the empress, a vast group of demon knights from group four and the rest of Yuina's group suddenly appeared on the horizon.

Their horses charging with a loud, rumbling echo from their hooves.

"What?!"

Empress Aurelia's face turned pale, her dull eyes watching the incoming knights while holding her sword.

"How could this happen?!"

The battle was over.
