Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

Asmodeus slowly walked towards the kneeling Asmodea. He looked at her body, covered in wounds and missing her left arm.

'Damn it!'

He couldn't contain the anger he held for himself and the monster that sent part of its body to the elven forest as if to keep a check on him.

"ARGH! This is the pain you endured alone."

Asmodeus grabbed his left arm at the elbow, gritting his teeth, he suddenly snapped the bone and with the sound of tearing flesh he removed his arm.

For atonement and for redemption.

Squelch

Snap

Because her powers were partially devoured, and her Mana core suffered severe damage from the mental and physical erosion, he couldn't help her in any other way.

"A-Asmodeus?!" Liana's dull eyes widened, as she could see what he did. Before she could complain or refuse. He placed his torn arm against her shoulder and at that moment, her back snapped back, arching as if someone just electrocuted her spine. "Ahhhh!"

His flesh deformed, twisting and transforming into blood as it seeped into her wounds. Soon after, the sound of meat and bone cracking and forming echoed before a new arm slowly grew from her former stump. The arm looked beautiful, fair skin with etchings of blood-red roses along it, neat yet beautiful.

Her tattoo of roses looked tasteful, and the moment the roses touched her shoulder. She could feel a tingle spreading through her body, starting with her heart and abdomen. Her lips closed tight as she covered her mouth, trying to stop her slightly sensual voice from leaking.

"Now you can feel it, right?"

Asmodea only gazed up at him, her eyes now vibrant, one blue, the other red. Her pupils were shaped like rose petals, but the world she saw became breathtaking.

"I can see everything."

Mana, blood, life, anything.

She could see the movement of his Mana, the flow of his blood and the movements of his muscles, and instinctively knew where he would enjoy being touched.

Not only that, but her body became light, her Mana became something that flowed naturally as she pointed a finger and a rose-coloured flame appeared.

But the most significant change that made her heart tremble.

[Class Changed]

[Demon Empress of Lust]

[Title Gained]

[The rose of the emperor's heart.]

• Your actions, emotions and pure affection have stirred the heart of he who stands over all demons. Because of your actions, you have become irreplaceable to him.

Be it in this life or the next, your fates cannot be severed.

'This pattern… isn't it the same as his markings?' Asmodea remembered that the markings on her arm matched the tattoo that he showed her on his leg.

"Fufu, now we're matching."

"Don't laugh, you were seriously hurt. I don't know what I might have done if I—"

"Stop." Asmodea's finger pressed his lips together, her eyes narrowed while enjoying the emotions that poured from his words and expression.

Love, worry, affection, desire, anger, obsession.

Asmodea touched her chest.

There were now two hearts thumping wildly, like a beast hammering a drum.

She never understood his feelings before because looking at Asmodeus was like gazing at a divine existence, his feelings, and atmosphere almost masked by a veil of light.

'He loved me so passionately, so intense that I might suffocate~ ah, why is he so adorable my underwear might be in trouble at this rate.'
Your journey continues with empire

She adored Asmodeus from the moment they met, though he spoke to her and told her he loved her. Liana couldn't fully accept the words of others due to her upbringing as a cursed princess.

The only people she trusted were Alan, her father, and now Asmodeus.

"I know how you feel and don't be so upset, in the future I will never try to fight alone."

Asmodeus gazed into her eyes. She could feel his concern and sincerity, but then noticed a flicker of light as his lips curled in to a smile.

'Ah… he trusts me.'

His hand suddenly extended and stroked her smooth cheeks, brushing away the dirt while squishing them slightly with his caress.

"You did amazingly, fought against an enemy you couldn't defeat. I am proud to be your husband."

"Asmodeus."

Mnnph~ ♡

He didn't speak any more nonsense.

His warmth spread through her lips as they touched, a feeling of bliss overwhelming Asmodea as she grasped his arms.

They broke apart, and his hand slowly ran through her hair, removing the tangles and leaves that were trapped in her hair. Asmodea blushed, but soon their moment was interrupted by the sound of a large group running towards their position.

Asmodea's eyes sharpened, and she stood up. Her new arm was stronger than before, but it would take a while to get fully used to the new one.

The Empress Ar'Sarina and her knights, followed by Alice, Velvet and Aki appeared in the group who came towards them. Even Duke Qwass limped towards him, looking at Asmodeus with a sense of shock and awe.

'Ah… even this old guy survived. Well, I noticed his changes, and Alan wouldn't let a traitor live for no reasons.'

"Ahem, Demon King Asmodeus, sorry to ask, but is the task complete?" Though the empress knew he succeeded, there was a small part in the back of her mind, worried it might have been a mistake.

However, Asmodeus waved her worries away with a smile.

"Everything has gone according to plan. There is nothing left to do except celebrate the return of your beloved emperor."

Asmodeus raised a glass that he took from his storage. "This is the tears of Aristella."

To cure the emperor of his curse and mind control, these tears were needed. An elixir that could remove all sorts of evil and negative conditions. The empress gazed at the small vial and her lips trembled, covering them as if to hide her emotions as she looked at Asmodeus again.

"Are you sure I can take the whole thing? I only need a drop."

"It is my gift, to you. The mother of my future wife, and family. Please accept it."

Her heart throbbed. The words of Ciela and what she tried to get her to understand before replayed in her mind that Asmodeus wasn't someone the elves should fear. That he could become their strongest ally, and now that he liberated the world tree, she understood that better.

'It must have been his influence. I have been blind to the future until now.'

"I will do so." She took the small bottle, not letting the liquid touch anything as she stored it in her most expensive item ring, before gazing around. "Did you not bring Ciela?"

Asmodeus rubbed the back of his head with one hand and smiled.

"Your lovely daughter told me to rush here as fast as I could because she sensed something dangerous. The second group might take a few days to return, so I wondered if you wanted to save your husband before she gets back."

"Oh, but what if she tries to brainwash him again?" The empress no longer spoke with an arrogant tone, instead when speaking to Asmodeus it was gentle and like how she spoke to her daughters.

The elven knights all seemed to have forgotten the horrific monster that existed a few moments ago, now beaming with delight at the news their emperor would be saved.

"To be honest, I met the goddess and learned that if you use the entire vial, it will make the person immune to all curses and mind-altering magic permanently."

"Ah?!"

Empress Sarina looked stunned suddenly, the bottom of her eyes filled with tears, as if her goal, a dream was fulfilled. He could understand the worry of one day losing him again, weighing on her heart, and that's why Asmodeus asked this question.

All for his future family.

"It's remarkable, I never expected you to be so skilled and complete everything. You even saved us from that monster, how can I ever repay you?"

The human and elvish knights all gazed at him, curious about the Demon King, a man different to their first impressions and someone who could very well become the bridge between the elves, humans and beastkin in the future.

"I hope you will consider a peace treaty and alliance with the Kingdom of Grigor, I do not ask you to do so with all humans, just Grigor and the hero Alan."

"Of course, that can be arranged, I will ensure that we return all our diplomats to Grigor. As a reward, please enjoy our hospitality."

She turned to her knights and bowed her head.

"Prepare to treat the princess's future husband and all knights of Grigor with the highest honour, and let the elves and humans know that the demon king is an ally to the people of this forest. No, I bestow the title of Elven Hero to you, and all of your followers, Asmodeus. Please let it be known that we will return to the capital in two days."

The empress didn't even hesitate. She looked at Asmodeus with a faint smile.

'This foolish boy, he only wishes for something so simple, and it's not for his benefit but for my daughter and our people.'

She couldn't help but feel grateful that her daughter had such a good eye for men. With this, the problems of the elven empire could be solved in a short time, only two days. Sarina would save her husband and judge the enemies that tried to poison their empire with such a treacherous plot.

'Without Asmodeus meeting Ciela, would my vision of our forest burning have happened today?'
