Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

Asmodeus stood covered in the blood of Murks. It was a purple shade but turned blue when dried. He looked at the coastline, now full of blood, corpses and meat, while Vinea and Yumiko were slicing the throats of all the murks lying on the floor.

'It's strange... the monsters should have feared death. Yet, why do they fight even knowing the difference, and what is that bizarre mark on their shoulder? All of them have twin snakes eating each other with a skull in the centre.'

"Lord Asmodeus, we have killed over sixty of the murks on the beach, their cave is also located in that small cave to the right." Vinea seemed to have located the place they were using for a base or to hide part of their forces from the elements.

Yet the cave she pointed to seemed eerie—a thick black smoke, like a miasma, leaked from the cavern. Though the aura didn't feel like a demon to Asmodeus, so he didn't feel any danger. Instead, he looked at the two women, wondering to himself if they were ready to keep fighting or if they might need a moment to recover.

"Yumi, Vinea do you need a rest?" Asmodeus killed the most, but he didn't need to try, as his magic obliterated the murks without him paying much attention. 'I kind of want to use my weapon... Magic is cool, but I miss getting covered in blood.'

"No, we are fine; these are just pests to us." Yumiko was the one who answered as she stabbed the short sword from her wrist into the eye sockets of a murk. It was a beautiful move, but her clothes were now dirty with purple blood.

"Lord Asmodeus how could we be tired when you are not?"

He couldn't help but shrug and make a sly remark. "On the bed, they are always tired first."

"!!!"

"Asmodeus! Don't be so cruel, I always try me best!" Yumiko pouted, her tails swishing through the air as she stomped on the skull of a dead murk in her anger.

Vinea took the comment in stride and laughed.

"My husband, I'll let you know that my stamina is almost on par with yours." Vinea's eyes shone with a tempting and challenging glint of gold and silver while Yumiko continued to sulk in the background.

"Oh really," He grinned, knowing full well what she meant by 'stamina.'

Asmodeus's body suddenly tingled. A cold sweat formed on his forehead as a strange feeling crawled its way up his back. Something was watching them from the cave. It was something that could endanger the two women beside him.

"You two, clean up the coast and prepare a small camp, I am going to check the cave. I will be back soon."

"Wait, Asmodeus, you don't have to go alone. We can handle it." Yumiko went to grab his arm, but he just pushed her away and then vanished his speed like a flash of lightning, racing towards the cave.

She was stunned and hurt, thinking that he was not worried about her being weak. However, shook her head and did as he asked her.

"I have to get stronger." Her words were only a whisper.

Vinea also felt the danger, but instead of speaking and making herself known, she decided not to get too involved. Because she only sensed certain death instead of just danger. Cold sweat covered her body as she began to follow the orders of Asmodeus.

"Yumiko, I believe we should do as our Lord said... there is something strange about that cave." Vinea whispered.

"But why didn't he wait for us, do you think that he doesn't trust me..." Yumiko paused, biting her lip and trying not to cry.

"No, I believe it's just that Lord Asmodeus is afraid to lose you. This challenge is a battle between him and whatever is in there, a fight for dominance, a challenge." Vinea knew this because she was a demon too and felt that whatever was in there issued all three of them a challenge, a battle between them to the death.

"I'll trust you... I hope he doesn't get injured." Yumiko watched the cave where Asmodeus vanished a few moments ago.

Meanwhile, inside the cave, Asmodeus discovered that the moment he entered, that black smoke created a barrier that stopped him from leaving, and not only that, but the stench of blood and death was so strong and so thick that even Asmodeus, a demon almost gagged.

'This place is definitely not a good thing...' He looked around using his perfect dark vision, able to see through this horrible darkness and saw the cave walls were covered in blood, both human and monster, shades of red, blue and purple all painting the same shape repeatedly, the twin snakes and skull emblem.

[Be careful; this is another god's domain... inside here, their believers are far stronger!]

'Really, are you sure this is not just a random symbol?'

Asmodeus found it hard to believe that there would be a god hiding in this cave. It was just some stupid cave where the fishmen would sleep... He believed Serena deeply but wondered if she might be wrong.

'Whoever it is, they are powerful enough to have made an entire army of murks.'

[It's the symbol of Death]

'Death, so an evil god?'

Serena laughed at his comment and asked him something that made him realise he might have been a little too judgemental before taking more time to breathe and think about the situation properly.

[What is evil? If a demon were to die and be reborn as a saint, would that not be good instead?]

'I guess, but you are right, this world is much more complicated than the last.' Asmodeus moved towards an archway, which seemed to be decorated with various bones across the edge. He honestly felt unsettled because it was such an eerie place with no light, and the frigid temperature felt like it sapped away his life.

"Hello, is anybody home?" Asmodeus announced his arrival as the archway led into a larger open area, where the stench of blood had thickened to the point of tasting copper in the air; the atmosphere was choking.

In the centre of the cave, the opening was an altar made of bones now stained red with blood; it seemed the altar was used only for humans... and to the far right of the cage was a pile of human corpses, half of them decomposing, the fresh ones missing arms or legs and with bite marks in the flesh.

There was also a giant murk covered in scars and bite marks, its body a mix of purple and blue; the murk was missing an arm and was covered in its blood. It seemed to have died when eating the flesh off a leg, and next to the giant murk was a skeleton wearing a golden crown and a torn robe.

'So even the murks were used as sacrifice? Hmmm.... who is that?'

"So, you are finally here. The scum who seduced my beloved Serena!" A voice echoed through the cave. It was quite charming despite being filled with hostility.

"I did not seduce Serena, she fell in love with me by her own volition."

"SILENCE YOU INSECT!"

The ground began to shake, and the skeletons of the human corpses began to move. They dragged their bodies and started to crawl along the floor with their tongues out, heading towards Asmodeus with a thirst for flesh... however his body began to sink into the ground, and the black mist around him clung to his skin and made him feel like the very world around him was suffocating him.

"DIE!"

The skeletons soon reached him, and a gust of wind swept the skeletons towards him; they bit into his flesh and broke apart in pieces.

'They are weak, but there are so many, this is going to be a hassle...'

*Woosh!*

Asmodeus tore the monsters apart with his black and red demonic sword, the energy forming a beautiful trail of red as the tip penetrated the murk, eating the leg.

"Gyaaaah!"

The pain was so great that the monster's cry echoed through the cave while the hooded male seemed to become angry, his aura growing before once again calling out to berate Asmodeus.

"How can an insect harm my disciples. Die!"

The human wore a robe with the twin snakes and skull painted in what seemed to be blood, his speed faster than even Ciela!

'I need to kill the bastard first.'

Asmodeus tried to move, but the ground kept sucking him down. This magic was something he could not easily break through, and it was so fast that he could not react.

"DIE!"

Asmodeus turned his sword, slashing the air, but the hooded man seemed to disappear and appear in another spot, laughing loudly as a dagger with an eerie shape plunged towards his chest.

The blade was only a few inches away from piercing his heart when Asmodeus exploded with magic, sending the hooded figure flying back into the wall with a loud crash.

"Hahahaha, you are powerful, but you lack the wisdom to use it, if not for your freakish body, you would be dead already."

'Who the hell is this guy?!'

Asmodeus's body had shattered the surrounding walls with a powerful step, his chest bleeding with black, rotting blood, something caused by the dagger; while he felt heavy, the miasma seemed to affect him less after being stabbed.

He wanted to ask Serena, but the hooded figure didn't give him a chance, once again lunging towards him with eerie teleportation, like a phantom or ghost.

'This bastard, I'll definitely kill him!'
