Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

While Asmodeus and Alan prepared their forces, the demons and monsters under the control of the mysterious Demon Queen started to move. They seldom required sustenance or sleep and thus marched for days without resting.

A dark shadow crossed the northern borders, searching for the existence of their dreams. Humans. The delicacy that most monsters held a genetic preference for. Different from the other races, something about humans made them the ideal meal for their needs.

Whether it be the mana of elves causing many low-rank monsters to almost explode trying to devour them or the hard, muscular meat of the beastkin and their foul taste, which made them less desirable compared to humans who were just right.

Although, those with strange appetites existed, like the Dread Worm.

The man leading the demons to attack the western village was led by the Demon Queen's primary butler and knight, the brother of Valsarik.

As for Valsarik himself, he would guide the monsters to crush the human army and bring them back to serve as food for another generation of stronger, more potent monsters.

"Whatever Her Majesty desires... I will give it to her."

The towering demon stood atop a lonely hill, with pale grey flesh stretching over an emaciated frame with jagged bones. Its hollow eyes burned with hatred towards humanity and those that stood in its master's path. A great hunger to devour her enemies constantly gnawed at the monster's flesh.

It's cruel mouth, distorted and lined with sharp fangs like serrated blades, dripping with black blood. And a pair of deformed, twisted hands filled with long, sharp claws the length of a sword, able to cut through flesh like tissue.

It stepped forward, revealing spiked ridges that jutted from its spine, like spears and a breath which caused the air to darken from the scent of decay and rot that slipped from its throat.

"Let's march, attack that foolish demon that stands in our master's path!"

The demons were identical to the monster's figure, just smaller and less powerful... burning red eyes filled with hunger and rage. A dark, menacing presence emanated from them.

—

Meanwhile, Asmodeus stood on the makeshift walls, his eyes gazing at the distant cloud of darkness, a force much smaller than he imagined. But demons were not something to be trifled with. Their strength came in resilience and their brutal and violent method of combat.

'I believe our powers will deal less damage because of their natural resistance...'

'It would be easier if we didn't have to worry about protecting the villagers.'

Though most of the warriors would be fine, the humans could be affected by the enemy demons because they could use magic and illusions, which would trap the weak human mind forever, whether driving them to suicide or to kill each other.

A talented demon could do such a cruel thing with ease.

"Sariel, Levia, Erika, Velvet... how are preparations for defence?"

The first to speak was Levia, who stepped forward with a calm face, her voice devoid of any fear and filled with an icy determination that made Asmodeus feel at peace.

"The Demon warriors will protect the gate. We can hold it for as long as needed." Since she became a Demon Paladin, she always wanted to lead a group, but the Demon Knights were closer to Erika and Vinea than her, and some of them held a grudge for her actions.

Aki, the fox beastkin, stood beside Erika with a stern look on her face, causing Asmodeus to realise how much she'd grown since leaving the Beast Empire.

'It was just a whim to bring her, but she looks much better.'

She became taller, more muscular but still carried a beautiful air around her as she would take on the role of defender, supporting Levia's troops.

"Asmodeus, to protect the river... we will be attacking them first with the demon knights. I will lead the attack, with Vinea and Alice supporting me. I have asked Ciela and her archers to also remain on standby as we might need her backup to avoid significant casualties."

Velvet's atmosphere and mood improved greatly from the night that Asmodeus slept with Vinea and gave her an oath. It seemed the elder witch was worried about her.

"Very good... then Sariel, how is our anti-magic defence looking?"

Because she was a succubus-type demon, Asmodeus asked Sariel a long time ago if she could stop mental magic from being a danger.

Although at the time she wasn't mature yet. Sariel believed she could numb the effects by spreading her pheromones and layering her mental magic in the demon knights and warriors over a long period.

'To think she wasn't just playing around with them all that time ago...'

"Their minds will be protected, but it won't last forever."

The succubus had taken great care during these three months to use her powers to their fullest extent, and some of the demon knights could resist anything because she started this process after they met the Pope for the first time.

The defence worked like placing several "Invisible barriers" inside their minds to stop the enemy's magic from affecting their brain directly.

'That means I have less to worry about and can go on full offense.'

"Erika, you and Vinea will join me on the front lines. Have Asmodea remain in the village to protect the humans and form a defensive shield, prioritising the river."

Serena stepped onto the cold wooden wall from behind him, touching Asmodeus' shoulder, her eyes narrowed into golden slits.

[What about me? Do you not seek my aid?]

Asmodeus wanted to say yes instantly, but he knew that if Serena helped more, the gods above wouldn't sit still.

No matter what the reason, they would state that he wasn't any different from the demon queen. These thoughts were technically correct because once he used his Demon Emperor form, his limits and restrictions were released, so they could no longer hold him back.

'No... it is more like they cannot reach me at all...'

After reaching such a level, Asmodeus wondered how powerful he truly became, his powers being much more potent than he expected. The biggest gain was his ability to empower the women he loved and offer boosts in defence to the demon knights and warriors who carried small amounts of his bloodline.

"Serena... I am sorry, but as you know, there are eyes looking at us."

[...]

A wry smile and regretful chuckle left her lips. Serena knew this but wanted to let him know if he needed her. She would do anything to help him with it.

[Don't worry, I know... then I will help you like this.]

Before he could react, she grabbed his shoulder and wrapped both arms around his neck, and pulled him closer. The warmth of Serena's breath carried a slight minty scent as she snorted through her nose and narrowed her gaze.

She brought her lips close to his ears.

[Asmodeus, you are my mate, so you better come back alive...]

[If you die, I will revive you as a woman!]

A shudder ran down the man's spine as he imagined what it was like to live life as a girl. NEVER!

"Then I will survive until the end and defeat death himself!" A confident tone, but the words and meaning made Serena's heart skip a beat as she lowered her eyes and leaned closer.

Their lips touched for a moment, a fleeting and soft kiss that tasted sweet.

Serena broke off before she could lose control and brushed his lips with her thumb.

[Be safe]

[The other girls look a little jealous]

A distant horn sounded with a low rumbling, warning of an imminent attack, causing the demon warriors and knights to prepare their weapons. The demons were hulking creatures, though not infinite. Their size and inhuman features made them appear terrifying to others, abominations with twisted forms.

Asmodeus prepared to join the troops on the battlefield, he took one last glance at the beautiful women that surrounded him with their excellent minds, powers and determination.

"Follow me into battle; it will be difficult, but I will not let you fall."

A cheer of support, a cry of war and pride in their voice.

They raised their weapons and pointed them to the sky.

A single command from Asmodeus, as the gates opened.

"Prepare to Attack!"

The first wave of Demon warriors, led by Levia, marched into position and set up the defensive position, making an aegis-shaped wall.

Meanwhile, Asmodeus stepped to the front beside Erika and the Demon knights who stood in silence, their bodies wrapped in black scales, wielding various sharp weapons, all aimed at the demons approaching.

Asmodeus took his time, allowing the warriors to set up defences as he raised his arm and pointed at the enemy, before a swirl of darkness formed at the tip of his finger.

The colours morphed together, black, red and purple, mixing into an unstable swirling orb.

A crackling sound came from the sphere of magic, and a dark miasma surrounded it, creating a heavy atmosphere as Asmodeus yelled out, creating a blood-red beam that cut across the horizon.

VWOOM!

The spell was far more powerful than any normal demon could use, burning through their skin like butter and carving the ground into melted stone, which boiled away with the remaining monsters.

A red wall of mana exploded in the distance, causing most to turn into ash instantly. Yet, although the enemies were blasted away easily, they continued rushing forwards. They were unafraid of anything and prepared to die by order of their new master.

After killing dozens of demons, the demon emperor called out once more

"Attack!"
