Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

Chapter 319: Instability!?



Asmodeus slept for several days, while Baku returned to his tiger form and slept beside his body. After losing to the demon king, the beast seemed to have changed. There was a look of servitude and respect in the old tiger's eyes.

'This kid... why is he still sleeping? That strange spider seems to have vanished but he mentioned not having time to waste.'

"To think this dumb kid is Serena's Apostle... maybe he's her hidden lover or something."

The words of Baku caused the air to tremble, making the cat feel a sense of danger, quickly curling up and hiding his face. He knew this aura and the sensation that caused his fur to stand on its edges and couldn't help but tremble like a lost kitten.

"Baku!"

A beautiful voice reverberated. The next moment, the space shifted, almost shattering from the guest's power. Baku could feel the nostalgic power and energy pushing against his body, almost crushing the poor cat's bones into dust.

'It's Mother... she's here... and angry!'

"Please, do not speak such stupid thoughts out loud in the real world. Baku."

Soft white hair down to her ankles, a youthful and pristine complexion mixed with her small pointed nose, fluffy white eyebrows and lashes with sharp golden eyes. Ten pristine and fluffy white tails moved as if dancing behind her.

"W-Why... is the goddess and mother of all beasts here?!"

"Who is your mother... you know if those poor girls heard you, they might cry!"

Serena referred to the two goddesses who created the many tribes of beastkin because all she did was grant them protection as a higher goddess. It meant the two lesser ones received less worship and praise.

'I should help those girls in the future... poor things, even their children mistake their mother!'

"Forgive me! This Baku is nothing but a snivelling cat!"

"Whatever, do not bother me with your shrieking. I am here to see Asmodeus... he wouldn't respond to me no matter how much I called out to him..."

Her body lowered, causing the poor tiger to almost die of shock. The goddess, who ruled with a sharp and strict policy, knelt beside the dumb kid who beat him! Then, she began to stroke his hair like a gentle and caring woman.

'What a fraud! This scary woman cannot be this kind...!'

"Baku~~ do you want to become dog food?"

Serena's voice was elegant, beautiful and captivating. Yet when she spoke to Baku, it felt similar to a thug, despite the beauty. Her threats, causing the poor spirit king to tremble like a naughty child, would have made Asmodeus laugh.

'She's serious about this kid... ah, what is that face?'

Baku never thought he would see the face of a woman in love with the goddess who ruled over them for thousands of years with an iron fist.

"Why won't you wake up... or listen to my calls?"

At first, Serena believed it might have been due to Mephisto's act and began to panic, her divine realm now in ruins. Serena was moments away from attacking him directly before she felt a slight call...

Asmodeus called her name, so she came to his side despite the danger.

"Baku, what happened after your battle... I know he defeated you, but was there anything special?"

The tiger seemed to look awkward for a moment, his eyes gazing away.

"Uhm... I don't know, because he knocked me unconscious."

"Useless cat... really, should I just shave your fur and use it for a nice coat?!"

"Nyaaoh!!!!"

Baku trembled while hiding his face with both paws—maybe if Asmodeus saw this current image, he would stop feeling so respectful of them.

'Please stop threatening me... I won't call you my mother anymore...'

"Hmmm..."

Serena placed her hand on his face, stroking his cheeks and squishing his lips with her delicate fingertips, her face changing slightly. At first, it was concern, then curiosity, and finally, it returned to worry. Her expression caused the poor cat's fur to stand up in fright, as this was the first time he ever saw this face. The woman was as emotionless as an iceberg before.

'Maybe this kid is quite dumb as I thought... imagine seducing this crazy goddess...'

"His body seems to be at odds... the divine power inside him keeps trying to swallow the demonic energy, while the demonic energy is doing the same."

"He is both an angel and demon... his energy is very powerful, so I believe that might be the cause," replied Baku.

"That cannot be!"

A harsh tone filled with her intense emotions blasted the poor tiger away.

Baku's body rolled along the ground from the force of her anger and rage. Yet he didn't feel mad, but he heard Serena's words and tried to make sense of them.

He also liked Asmodeus, the first person to face him in hundreds of years and the first to be on par with him in thousands.

"How can it be... he was fine, his body stable. I made sure never to give too much, and I always slowly helped him adapt!"

"My goddess... do you not remember?"

"Hmm? What?!"

Baku didn't care if she blasted him again or insulted him.

Yet he thought it might be the sole reason that all the spirit kings could watch the affairs in the beast kingdom while in their realms.

Thus, he knew of the current situation, but due to the pact, he couldn't move without the request of the empress or a princess of the royal family.

"The divine energy was balanced right?"

"Yes... I made sure... wait... you mean?"

"That's right... the moment he absorbed that dark divine power from the bastard ruining this world."

"It made his body... lose balance, this... Is this what he aimed for!?" Serena's eyes widened.

She suddenly realised that Mephisto seemed to be less arrogant than she thought and instead. He clearly valued and paid attention to the natural genius of Asmodeus.

Maybe since the days, he was just Ryuji, the god of death, knew about him.

A sudden shock filled her body; this was worse than any torture she had faced.

It felt similar to when she lost Lilith... this imbalance would make it possible for Mephisto to take Asmodeus as his vessel.

What could she do against the body of the man she loved?

This plan clearly targeted both her and her most precious person.

'What can I do to save him... I need a powerful and demonic energy enough to take him over the limit and bring him to the brink of evolution!'

"Those girls are too far... no, if he leaves this space for too long, Mephisto will find him. Then since I've left the divine realm, it's obvious he'll watch my movements... I cannot get them."

"No he would be expecting me to go to them..."

"Goddess Serena!"

Baku tried to interrupt her several times, but she seemed too concerned and stuck in her world to notice. Then he suddenly roared, causing the entire space to shake, yet the power caused his wounded body to suffer damage, vomiting blood.

"Hmmm...? What's wrong, Baku?"

She didn't attack him or become angry but rather noticed his genuine concern for Asmodeus.

"You need demonic energy, right... strong demonic energy, like from a powerful monster?"

"Y...yes... and?"

Serena couldn't understand what he meant with those simple words and the expression. However, then Baku lifted his left paw, drawing a small sigil and marking in the ground; the golden runic circle shone before a flash of light filled the realm. Baku vanished.

'What did that silly cat do? I need to think of a way to save Asmo...'

Her body couldn't move from where Asmodeus lay. Serena felt every moment counted until she saw the figure that appeared the moment the light faded. She could feel her heart race, the monster that appeared... a nostalgic face and aura.

"Lumina... you fell this far after all?"

The beautiful human figure of the arachne appeared. Her body, with pure white hair and skin like snow, gazed at the fallen Asmodeus with ruby eyes before her furry white spider legs skittered closer.

"STOP!"

Serena's shout caused the realm to crack, several restored mountains instantly crumbling in the distance; while the Arachne seemed unaffected, Baku trembled on the ground.

The Arachne didn't even glance at Serena—instead, she approached Asmodeus, bending her long white legs and gently knocking the unconscious demon king's head with her front legs.

"Wake up...?" A heavenly voice, one that could charm even the strongest existence.

"This?!" Baku looked shocked. He felt the sensation of divinity from the voice of the monster, but her body was a mass of corrupted demonic mana poured into a monster's frame, like a curse.

"Sleeping... don't sleep..." The voice was like a fabled bard or songstress, causing Serena's eyes to narrow, a fierce jealousy growing. The other girls were fine, but this woman.

The cursed Lumina was different; she recognised her former enemy with a single glance. Although the others might see an ugly monster, Serena could see the beauty hidden beneath the monster's skin.

"Stop touching my man, Lumina... I don't forgive anyone other than me, touching him..."

Serena's white tails moved, wrapping around Asmodeus and attempting to drag him away.

Yet an array of golden, silky threads spat from behind Lumina, blocking her tails as she grabbed Asura and began to skitter away. Her face showed no emotion, like a puppet or doll.

The words from Serena were not enough...

Yet she knew!

Serena realised the current situation.

That her only choice would be a powerful monster with a slither of divine power to endure the ceremony. To restore the balance of Asura by sharing their powers to fix the distortion.

'Why does it feel those bastards above are having fun... did they arrange this situation?!'

Serena felt hatred towards the creators, gods far above her and even Mephisto, the source of his true aim. To become one of the true gods of this world, able to shape and change things as they desire.

No longer bound by oaths and laws. All was fine if they could overpower the other true gods.
