Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World-Chapter 786: The Sealed Gates

Asmodeus recovered enough to move after a short rest and opened his eyes, taking in the dim lighting of the cavern. He spent a moment adjusting himself before hopping off the elevated stone platform.

’Damn, it feels like someone smashed my head against a wall.’

Not far away, he found Velana and Serena sitting with their backs to each other.

He took a step, his balance shifting slightly as he almost fell. Serena’s eyes snapped open, and she instantly appeared beside him, wrapping her arm around his waist and keeping him in place. "Are you alright?"

Her sweet fragrance filled his nose as her silver hair fluttered through the air.

’She’s back to normal.’

"I’m just a little tired." He looked around, expecting to see Nerim and the others, but only found Serena and Valena. "How is everyone else?"

Serena paused while biting her lip; she turned away her gaze. She quickly took a deep breath and turned back with a smile.

"Outside, after everything happened, Nerim came to see what had happened, but the monsters vanished when Razel and Kroyst left."

The pair started walking towards the exit, Valena silently walking behind them, which made Asmodeus turn back to check on her.

"...So those fools left?" His voice trailed off as he noticed her slightly swollen cheek and the faint crack in some of her scales. Valena snorted flames and snapped her face from his sight as she crossed her legs.

Alas, the tail behind her continued to tap the floor like an angry cat.

’These two definitely fought about something...’

Asmodeus glanced at the two women alternatively, but he wasn’t foolish. A fight between women wasn’t something he should step into. The only time he would get involved was if it exceeded this level of light injury and became a deadly grudge.

"Yes, after your last attack, they left as you collapsed."

"I see, I don’t remember it well..." He rubbed his neck, the slight numbness remaining from when those black veins appeared beneath his skin.

"Mhm, it’s fine, darling."

"Heh!"

"What?!" Serena snapped back at the noisy dragon.

’Let’s ignore it~ Ignore it all.’

The three eventually came to the entrance, which had lost a lot of its magical nature. After losing the source of power from Kroyst, many of the crystals and special features of his territory started their inescapable collapse.

"Such a beautiful place, rotting so suddenly. What a shame..."

Asmodeus liked visiting the various dungeons and magical places in this world. Despite experiencing many of the excitements this world had to offer. Inside, he still carried a small chunk of his past as a mere human stuck in a single country most of his life.

"Asmodeus?!" An excited yelp sounded the moment the trio stepped outside, followed by a series of heavy footsteps.

"Eh?"

Even Serena’s eyes widened as the voluptuous mermaid shot across the desert sands, kicking up a storm before leaping into the air with a shout. "You’re okay!"

Thump!

Asmodeus dashed forward with unsteady steps, leaving Serena’s support with open arms. She created a weighty thud the moment she dropped. "Ehehe, you caught me!" Then wrapped both arms around his neck and kissed him.

Nerim nuzzled against his neck, kissing his neck, chin, cheek and nose obsessively with cute noises.

"Ahem, are you done?"

Serena cleared her throat while standing with both hands on her hips.

However, Nerim just pulled out her tongue and cupped Asmodeus’s cheeks. "I worried that you suffered greatly after Mei told me you were suffering." She quickly closed his lips, sucking on his tongue.

The warmth of Nerim’s kiss spread as she flicked the tip of his tongue, curling around his mouth as if to mark his mouth with her scent.

Valena and Serena both grit their teeth, unable to speak out.

Nerim slowly curled her tongue, wrapping around his as the sweet taste of her saliva flowed down his throat. After a few moments, she pulled away with several strands of spit connecting their tongues.

"I really enjoyed our moment together in that seat... honey."

Asmodues peeked over her shoulder, able to see a large number of Valkyries standing as if awaiting a command in the distance.

He glanced at Nerim, patting her buttocks. "Come on, you know this isn’t the time."

"Just one more kiss, this time from you... okay?" She made a cute, babyish voice while clinging to him with her thighs. He couldn’t resist her request while she squished her ample breasts against his chest.

Nerim closed her eyes, faintly lifting her chin as she pushed out her lips.

’This girl is more jealous than I thought.’

He could feel the pounding beat of her heart against his chest, racing with a ba-dum ba-dum, over and over.

"Asmodeus... me too." Serena’s sweet voice came from behind.

The moment Serena spoke, it became faster, and her expression shifted.

"Don’t be so demanding, all of you. Go deal with your little knights, lest they freeze to death in those outfits."

He didn’t want to reject Serena, but with everything that happened, and how easily the two left their supposed base. ’It’s strange.’ Asmodeus just couldn’t believe everything was over and wanted to hurry back to Lumeria to plan for the future.

"Tsk, come with me, dragon."

"Okay." Valena soon left with a reluctant glance as she passed him.

Now alone, Asmodeus cupped Nerim’s soft cheeks and stared into her pretty blue eyes. "So, where is Mei? If you answer me, then I’ll kiss you." He should have been able to sense her, but there wasn’t any atmosphere or aura from the annoying woman.

"Ah..." Suddenly, her bright face changed, her lips trembled, and her eyes peered downward as she clung to his neck, burying her face. "Mei is..."

’Eh, what? Did something happen to her?’

Although he found her annoying, it was quite refreshing to have someone to argue with, as all his other women never gave him much trouble. Valena, Mei and Nerim carried a unique charm due to clashing with him at times.

Well, they weren’t his women.

Yet.

A sudden heaviness caused Asmodeus to feel lethargic and weak as his brain raced for answers and tried to guess.

Unable to accept it, he grabbed Nerim’s jaw, forcing her to look into his eyes. "Tell me what happened!" He couldn’t help but raise his voice, knowing it was unfair, but the murky feelings in his chest just kept rising.

He’d never lost anyone, not since his mother. There couldn’t be. He refused!

"Come on, stop it. Don’t tease him like this, our hubby looks close to tears!" Nerim’s voice changed suddenly, a sweeter, cheekier, and more familiar tone.

Asmodeus lifted his gaze, the watery surface blurring his vision slightly, as the silhouette of Mei appeared around Nerim, her eyes turned blood red, instead of ice blue. "Sorry, I didn’t think you’d honestly care..."

Nerim’s hands caressed his cheeks, her lashes fluttering as she stepped onto her tiptoes. "I really hated you, enough to kill you, and yet..." A small smack, the softness of her lips seemed different with a faint cherry taste. "Why can’t I stop myself from wanting to tease you like this?"

Suddenly, his mind flashed back to the first auction house, when he fell subject to Funf’s seductive, illusory domain and almost ended up railing her.

When she pulled away, her eyes fluttered again, the colour switching from red to blue, as the silhouette of Mei’s faded, becoming weaker again.

’This feels, it’s almost like Mei’s...’

Nerim stared into his eyes with a soft, comforting feel. "Did you notice now?" She stroked along his jawline with her fingertips while chewing her lower lip. "I didn’t know it would upset you so much, honey. But after Mei used her energy to stop that crazy dwarf from killing me, her figure became weak and faded..."

Asmodeus grabbed her hand, guiding it across his cheeks and down to his lips, pecking her fingers one by one as he asked. "Then what?"

She pressed her forehead against his, watching his lips brush along her fingers, while clenching her thighs together with heavier breaths.

"Then... somehow our bodies shone, and she came to settle inside my divine core."

"I see."

He wanted to throw her over his thighs and slap her ass.

The sudden shock left his entire body with a sense of drowning in a sea of mud, struggling to claw his way to the surface.

However, the fact that Mei wasn’t gone forever somehow calmed that heavy feeling, thus he couldn’t help but smother Nerim’s fingers, cheeks and lips in short kisses.

"Hehe, honey, sorry for making you feel sad."

"It’s fine, I didn’t realise that I would be like this if she vanished."

"Hey!?" Mei’s head peeked from behind Nerim’s back, her cheeks bright red, as she pouted.

"You know we were enemies, why are you acting like we’re lovers or something?" He complained back before flicking her forehead.

"Ouch!"

"Mhm, this is how it should be." Nerim lacked jealousy when she watched him and Mei fooling around; she watched on with a serene smile.

Though that smile soon crumbled, as she gasped and slapped her palm.

"Honey, honey! There’s a big problem."

"Oh? And what’s that big issue?" He smiled at her, thinking it was another small issue.

Nevertheless, Nerim’s following words spelt a grave change in the situation.

"The gates of Hansberg have been sealed, and the imperial army has been called for due to the clash between your Valkyrie and the monsters."

Asmodeus’s eyes shot open, his heart pounded, knowing the warning even Serena gave about the empire being dangerous. Now, because a few monsters slipped past his people and attacked the city, everything would spiral out of his control.

"WHAT?!"

’Shit, Thorim and the others are still in the city...’

Though he could just teleport inside, he didn’t want to risk anyone else’s well-being.

’I should bring them all to Lumeria.’
