10. I want you to willingly fall in love…
….
Absolute defeat… That was the only outcome of each attempt she made at killing Zain. In fact, she couldn’t even land a single hit as Zain disappeared the moment before her attack went through.
The more she attacked, the stronger the effects of the demon crest became, shining brightly through her clothes without any obstruction. Her face was bright red, and with the slightest movement, her bodily fluids would squirt out of her body, draining her even more of her strength.
Even though she knew Zain was strong, she didn’t know he was this powerful. Before she understood that direct attacks were useless against him, she couldn’t have known that secret attacks were the same. As if she were possessed, her body, though experiencing pleasure constantly, hadn’t ceased attacking Zain.
Although she wasn’t in the right state of mind and could see that there was an immense gap in their current strengths, it also helped Leila grasp a small bit of her sealed talent in the use of daggers. The crest made her weaker, but she was also becoming stronger at the same time, but at a slower speed.
It was only a matter of time before the demon crest grew to the point where she would have no ability to resist, forcibly succumbing her to the effects of the crest.
At the same time, the students silently watched, frowning as they saw a young woman desperately fighting, releasing killing intent. There was no doubt in their hearts that this woman desired the hero’s death.
Initially, they thought she was simply fighting to maximize her experience, but after seeing her bright pink crest glow brightly under her clothes, just above her crotch, they were certain of one thing: She had some connection with the demons!
"She’s a demon slave... How could a demonic human enter the academy? There’s no way that someone was negligent, so how? The demonic aura of demonic humans isn’t something that could be hidden from the eyes of the academy." One student inquired, feeling shocked that a demon slave had gotten into the academy that was said to be the ‘most’ secure.
"We should join the hero... If we can kill that traitor, I’m sure we’ll receive a great reward for our achievements." Another student chimed in.
"Yeah, she’s willingly chosen to collude with the demons; why should we not help the hero of light deal with her? Maybe we can gain some favor from him for helping him end this slut’s life."
All of the students agreed. They were greedy for the rewards they would get for killing a demonic human and the benefits they could receive for getting on the hero’s good side. However, the professor hadn’t spoken. He didn’t show much of a reaction when seeing the demon crest. It was as if he had seen this dozens of times before.
He only took action when things were getting out of hand. He desired for no one to disturb their fight after all.
"Don’t be blinded by the benefits you see before you. She may be under the effects of her demon crest, but she is still a demonic human. They possess strength far greater than humans. You've only just recently stepped foot on the path to becoming strong; you stand no chance against the weakest of demonic humans."
The professor hadn’t realized that his thoughts and actions were under the complete control of another person. The other person used this to control the actions of the students.
"Unlike your inexperienced selves, the hero of light has gone through years of training to end her existence. It would be best to watch so the hero doesn’t have to protect you."
"You can also use this opportunity to learn something from the hero’s fight. Maybe, if you're fortunate enough, you might notice something that would help you in your future growth." The professor smiled, seeing his students succumb to the same thing he had.
The students' surroundings turned pitch black, where only Leila and Zain could be seen, leaving them with almost no vision. In addition, their thoughts and actions felt muddled, as if they were under the influence of a powerful spell.
They heard inexplicable voices in their minds that urged them to do nothing and just watch the fight, and maybe they would earn something. The intensity of these voices became so overwhelming that it made them feel as though they were losing their sanity.
It was as if some devilish energy was forcing them to only be spectators who couldn’t join or interfere with the battle.
There were only two people here who weren’t affected by this. They were Leila and Zain, who continued their fight without stopping to see what was happening. There was only one person among those two who was capable of casting this spell, and that was Zain.
Leila recently stepped on the path of a demon, and she wasn’t in the right state of mind to cast a spell that could affect everyone in her surroundings. There was also no possibility that Zain would teach her this, as she would receive spells over time by increasing her level.
After her defeat, she once again forced herself to stand up, releasing another wave of bodily fluids and further soaking her clothes. She attacked Zain again after a short break, not willing to give up.
One after another, she kept having continuous battles with Zain. In each battle, Zain could see that her training was going well. He was unlocking her sealed talent and using this chance to make her accustomed to her body. Even though she was fast at unlocking her talent and becoming more used to her body, defeating Zain was becoming more and more difficult.
After two hours, her experience in the use of daggers had greatly improved, finally allowing her to truly clash with Zain. She was still unable to land an attack, but she was closer. However, it was at this time that she reached her limit!
Her body was sluggish as she was repeatedly bombarded with bolts of lightning that rapidly spread throughout her entire body, shutting down her mind and body with every bolt that reached its destination. And during this time, her body lost its last resistance, and a massive stream of bodily fluids burst out, leaving her drained of all her strength.
"Mn~! Ahn…" Her body was ransacked with hundreds of orgasms, leaving her unable to move, let alone rise to her feet and attack. The demon crest had grown to the point where even her immense willpower couldn’t resist anymore, leaving a crack in her will as she finally lost consciousness.
"Leila… You’ve gone too far by resisting the effects of the demon crest, and choosing to fight me was a bad choice. I didn’t expect you to go so far as to force the demon crest to enslave your will. You should know, but doing so will enslave yourself to me." He spoke in a caring tone as he walked over to Leila’s unconscious body.
As he reached Leila, he carefully slid his arm under her shoulder, ensuring he didn’t harm or further aroused her sensitive body, and placed the other behind her knees, picking her up like a princess.
"I want you to fall for me, but I can’t have it happen because of your own mistakes or the demon crest. I want you to willingly fall for me. I’ll have to reverse its effects, but I’m not doing it for free."
He turned around, about to leave, but stopped.
"As for you all, she only overexerted herself, making her fall unconscious. Nothing else happened here. I’ll be taking her back to rest."
He cancelled the spell as the memory of Leila being a demonic human completely disappeared from the minds of the spectators, leaving only the memory of her overexerting herself and losing consciousness as Zain had spoken.
"Continue the things you were doing. Zain has dealt with Leila’s situation." The professor shouted, causing the students to break out of their daze and begin their sparring.
****
Zain didn’t carry Leila to the nurse, as he knew humans couldn’t help her. A demon or someone in possession of a demon’s power could! He carried her to his room, where he was certain to have privacy.
For what he was going to do, he didn’t want anyone to see. He placed Leila on his bed and stripped her of her own drenched clothes.
"Your body is so enticing; if I could, I would’ve already made your heart completely mine, but I want you to fall in love yourself, not under the influence of someone else. Let me restore you to your former self. I’ll even give you a little gift."
He simply took off his clothes, tossing them to the side, before he crawled onto his bed, hovering above Leila’s peaceful, unconscious body.
He raised his hands, taking hold of the defenseless Leila’s breasts as he groped them. His hands were covered in a golden aura, spreading into Leila’s body and controlling the lust energy that was brimming inside her, overwhelming her.
The golden aura gathered the lust energy in a small core near her heart.
That way, even though the lust energy ceased creating pleasure which grew in intensity over time, it could still be used whenever it was needed. Either it was when Leila was facing danger or when he desired.
Ten minutes passed, and the energy absorption finally finished! The core also became denser and more powerful!
"Now that I’ve stopped the pleasure from affecting your body, I’ll need to restore your will and mind to before. There will be some changes to you, as they are inevitable, but you’ll mostly return to your former self."
He leaned in and kissed Leila, slipping his tongue inside, as he poured the rest of his mana into her, erasing the immense lust she had for him while also placing a failsafe that would force her unconscious if her demon crest reached a certain limit. He didn’t want it to corrupt her again, after all!
