Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

The morning after, Asmodeus woke up with most of his injuries and pain gone.

Though, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed when they tricked him, and he didn't know which woman he was inside. So after he finished with Alice, he gave them both a suitable punishment, to ensure he wouldn't make the same mistake again.

"Phew… today we're heading back." Asmodeus muttered while drying his hair from the morning shower. Alice and Asmodea left shortly before, dragged away by Vinea and Velvet for training.

'Oh well, it doesn't really matter. We're returning to the capital to face the concubine… I hope nothing goes wrong.'

"I'm surprised that my body feels so light."

He couldn't help but stretch himself around with a smile of satisfaction.

"Well, I am a demon, so perhaps this is just part of the benefits?'

Asmodeus walked into his room before noticing the smell of food and drinks set on a table, but half of them were eaten while Sariel sat on the other side, chewing on grapes. It appeared she had been expecting him. After swallowing the grape she was eating, she stood up and sat beside him.

He couldn't help but enjoy her actions, stroking her pink, fluffy hair before finally asking, "was it difficult to come back?"

She nodded. "Nn, the monsters seemed to have hidden. We arrived much sooner. But they said you were fine, so it was okay."

Sariel's body leaned against him as she peered up at him with lovely eyes. She took a breath, then began to say what happened during their travels, how Baku and Erunda became drinking buddies, or how Ciela and Arinea started practising magic together.

"Ah, but Erika seemed a little sad, she missed you a lot."

"I see."

The news of his comrades pleased him; Asmodeus wondered what the image of Baku and Erunda drinking together would look like. But he was happy because Ciela could get closer to Arinea again.

'Erika missed me, was leaving her behind a mistake?'

He knew he hadn't given her enough attention recently. Even knowing that it would mean another few days apart, he couldn't help but choose to rush back to the outpost alone.

'I should make it up to her after this ends.'

"Ah! Master!" Sariel called out excitedly.

"Mm? What is it?" He asked, somewhat bewildered.

Sariel lifted her hand, glistening with magic, different from her usual shadow magic and instead resembled the magic used by Stella and Arista during the trial.

"I can use magic now, ehehe~ isn't it beautiful?" She formed a small snake out of flowing water, twisting and turning before she released her control, returning it to droplets of water. "Though I'm still not perfect…"

"Did someone teach you?"

"Eh- Um…" Sariel tapped her cheek before tilting her head. "I believe their names were Ari and Stella?"

'Oh? Those fairies didn't just kidnap her, that's good.'

Suddenly, the atmosphere of Sariel changed. Her eyes became slightly sharper, while her lips curled into a more mature and seductive smile. As her body turned blue, using her fingertips, she stroked his cheek.

"How are you feeling, my emperor?" She asked in a much more sensual tone than before.

"Huh? Oh, Riel it's been a while since I've seen you, also what's that about, 'Emperor' ?"

"Hehe, well… It seems fitting, doesn't it? To address the man who became the first Demon Emperor… since the dawn of our race?"

The tone of Riel had entirely shifted and felt more pleasant, though she always spoke to him with respect because of her age, and role. But right now, there was a genuine sense of revelry and pleasure when speaking with him.

"How did you notice? Nobody else did."

While rubbing her finger on his lip, Riel smiled.

"Come now, my dear master. Don't tell me you've forgotten your humble servant already?"

"Come off it, you just want me to unseal you, and make you my woman."

"Haha~ M.a.s.t.e.r." Her deep, seductive voice echoed through the room, "How can you be so cruel~ have you forgotten my race?"

Asmodeus lifted his lips in a smirk, then finally replied, "No."

Riel's fingers slid across his cheeks, tracing his face. The change in her expression seemed different, Asmodeus could tell it wasn't because he became an emperor, but something else.

'Is it that?' He wondered, while they gazed into each other's eyes.

"Do you feel hopeful now?"

"Nn…"

"You've become honest, good girl."

Riel moved in closer to his side, and then laid on his body.

Her touch sent electric shocks throughout his skin and made Asmodeus think, "I've lived so long, but the last time our souls touched, a lot of Sari's personality and feelings became clear and more obvious."

They remained silent for a moment before Riel once again spoke up.

"I do feel… Hopeful, actually. Yes. Now I'm not so worried."

"Oh?"

"Even if I were to disappear, if Sariel remains by your side… then." Riel paused, biting her lips. "Then we'll definitely continue living within your heart, right?"

'What?'

Asmodeus couldn't reply. Instead, he simply stroked Riel's head as they enjoyed their remaining time.

He would rather not ruin this moment with unnecessary words, as even such simple and beautiful moments like this would eventually vanish, leaving behind only memories. A beautiful memory that lasted for what felt like years, though was merely a few minutes.

"I won't let you vanish."

Riel's body trembled because of his words, and turned her face to lean on his chest, before she covered her face with her palms, unable couldn't look into his eyes nor lift her head. "My Lord, don't make promises you know you cannot keep…" Her voice was relatively shaky but seemed content.

'I didn't even realise I felt this way…' Asmodeus thought to himself while feeling the heat and weight of the woman in his arms.

At first, he started to grow attached to Sariel, but the succubus trapped in the dungeon had also grown on him.

'Stupid woman, I'm not going to lose any of you…'

The truth was that he never thought of losing either of them.

"I won't break my word." A stern, low voice echoed.

He responded to her in seriousness, making the mature demon on top of him shiver from the sudden atmosphere that fell over the room.

She opened her mouth, wanting to respond with something to change the mood, but suddenly got distracted when Asmodeus began caressing the underside of her chin. She seemed very comfortable like this and made purring sounds, as if she were some sort of enormous cat.

"So soft…" Asmodeus muttered as his fingers stroked her soft, tender flesh.

"Nn, I will wait for you… it seems my time is up." She said and bit her lips.

As if guided by something, her face leaned into his before planting her luscious lips onto his cheek. The cool sensation with a slight heat from her breath felt comfortable before she pulled back.

"I'll kiss you for real next time, so please come and find me soon."

It looked like she wanted to finish with, "I'll be waiting." But her head dropped, and her skin became tanned, instead of the soft blue to show which girl was in control.

'It seems she is getting weaker.'

The fact Riel couldn't last more than a few moments made Asmodeus worry.

Sariel looked up and blinked confused, before glancing around, and spotting her master above her.

"Ahh, Master, ummm… Did I say anything strange?"

His intense feelings and the sense of a timer counting down faded from her soft voice, bouncy voice. Asmodeus knew he couldn't rush to save her right now, but it didn't stop him from realising how long that succubus waited for his existence in the darkness all alone.

"No, you just showed me your magic and Riel said hello."

"Nn, I see well," Sariel spoke while lifting her hand and creating small water snakes, which danced around the room. "Ta-da! Ehe~" They splashed against the floor and returned to normal water.

"It looks great Sari."

"Eh? Um… Master… Y-yes." For a moment, she appeared hesitant, but soon relaxed and lay against his chest, closing her eyes to listen to his steady heartbeat.

Not long after, the pair fell asleep. In another room, Ciela was speaking with her mother as the knights prepared to leave half their forces and the knights from Grigor to protect the outpost.

"Mother, he seems to be resting." Ciela went to check on Asmodeus, wondering if he would join them for the discussion about their departure.

However, when she saw him sleeping on the chair with Sariel leaning against his chest, Ciela couldn't bring herself to wake them.

'He's already fought so hard for us. Now it's my turn to help mother and father.'

Empress Ar'Sarina, the mother of elves, and current empress, watched her daughter with warm eyes. She never believed that one of her daughters might find a partner they love in the future because of their political value.

'I am happy that Asmodeus is someone strong enough to protect my little fairy.'

"Do not worry, he has done too much for our empire, he asked nothing in return but something that benefits us."

Ciela nodded before sitting opposite her mother, and pouring a cup of elven tea for her. "Yes, my beloved is far too generous. All because it is for me, he didn't ask for more. But mother, that's why I need to ask more of him because he never will."

"I understand what you mean. After all, even though his goal will also benefit us, he still took on cleansing and healing the sacred tree."

'He also saved us from that abomination…'

The empress felt envious of her daughter's heroic, or rather demonic, fiancée.
