Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

Asmodeus marched forward and slid his hand across Lumina's fluffy white legs. "It's time to leave. Are you nervous?" he asked, gripping her tight. He then jumped onto her back, enjoying the smooth and comfortable surface as she raised her rump to catch him.

"I am happy to do anything with you, Ryuji."

'He accepted my request~ I am grateful he didn't reject me.' Lumina thought as she felt the soothing weight of Asmodeus behind her human body. His rugged hand gripping her waist, to anchor himself.

"You sound like Levia when you speak like that, haha."

"Hmph... Levia is a good paladin and serves you well. I am grateful you forgave her." The voice of Lumina became low, her red eyes fluttering as her human figure leaned back against Asmodeus, quietly thinking of the past.

'To think that my former apostle now serves and adores the same man as me.'

"Today you know our goal right?"

The moment his low, husky whisper tickled her ears, the normally composed arachne's face and pale body turned light pink, covering her face with one set of hands while the other twiddles its fingers together.

'He even accepts my monstrous form...'

Lumina's heart pounded, thinking about how different she found Asmodeus when compared to his father, a positive and captivating charm that even after being reborn stopped her from giving up.

'Although I couldn't conceive his children the first time... I am jealous of those women in his harem who are expecting...'

Lumina's thoughts and instincts as an Arachne, which normally formed broods of spiders to serve the Brood Mother, mixed. Her dark, affectionate desire to impress and seduce the man on her back constantly increased.

Her silky red tongue slid across her feather-soft lips before recovering from the embarrassment.

"I understand our goal well, Ryuji. No matter what you seek I will help you achieve it."

'My beloved husband wants to avoid further casualties, and thus we are taking our fastest and strongest members to scout out the northern reaches of our current territory.'

Her thoughts went over the scouting plan that Asmodeus and Asmodea created.

Meanwhile, the demon knights and warriors trained relentlessly to improve, clearing the monsters from surrounding forests and caves and as for her husband...

Asmodeus would scout the north, northeast, and northwest for dangers.

"Good, then... shall we depart?" Asmodeus moved closer to her back, his face brushing against her cheek before he whispered. "My dear Lumi."

"!!!"

Since she asked to become his wife, Lumina started to understand just how affectionate the man she chose could be and that she couldn't be happier.

The pounding of her heart made her worried she might die as it slammed against her ribs, with excitement and dopamine flooding her mind each time she heard his low, raspy whispers.

"All Members of the Scouting group, Depart!"

"Hey, don't you think Lumina and Darling are getting along a little too well these days?" Erika's eyes shimmered as she leaned on her warhorse, whispering her complaints while stroking its soft mane.

"Don't complain, this mission is because he cares about us dearly... A normal lord would have just sent his troops to do this." Asmodea coughed, while glaring at Lumina with a sharp gaze.

The pair snapped their reins and, following a party of fifty horsemen, followed, with Velvet and Levia riding behind them, focused on their task.

Low horns rumbled with a powerful echoed, blowing into the darkness to mark their departure, which caused the air to vibrate and the low thud of galloping horses filled the entire village.

Alan watched from the citadel window with a goblet of wine.

"Be safe out there, little brother. If you get hurt again... I might just become a demon myself."

He gripped the glass tightly while muttering to the sky, gazing up at the enormous moon and praying for his safety. Memories of the boy he first met, covered in wounds with a wide grin because he achieved something simple, like killing a few goblins.

'It has only been a few weeks since we arrived here, yet so much has changed...'

After losing to the demon warriors, the knights lost their arrogance. Some still disliked demons, and Alan never cared to punish them. Instead, what surprised him was that the knights continued to practise with them. So, for the past week, he noticed an improvement in their strength.

"It's so much that I thought Ryuji might have made them demons, but to think... human potential could be so high. It reminds me of Ryuji..."

His voice trailed off. He thought back to when they had first met and how that young man constantly trained, fought, and kept growing even before he became a demon.

'I should take his example, let's train... I am no longer a trophy hero blessed by a goddess.'

Alan downed the wine in the glass, wiping the sweet flavour from his lips before turning towards the door, holding his sword with a faint smile on his lips.

"Let's become a true hero, through my efforts!'

Meanwhile, the small scouting force of Asmodeus headed north. They lacked knowledge about the lands they claimed from the demons—the former scouting parties only mentioned a large lake and forest to the east, while the west seemed to be full of dry, cracked earth.

Once they passed the village border, and found the secondary outpost, their speed lowered and became a brisk trot.

Asmodea and Erika's warhorses galloped forward before she called out to him.

"Asmodeus, what do you think should be our first priority?" She snapped the reins and slowed her speed, keeping parallel with Lumina, who gazed at the young princess briefly before turning away.

"We have two choices—we can head towards the east where we believe a giant lake exists, or we can go westward and see if the land is worth further inspection."

"The Northeast seems to have an abundance of trees. It may be good for lumber," Erika added with a cool expression. Unable to hide her jealousy towards Lumina, as she scowled for a moment, before noticing Asmodeus looking at her, and she turned away with red cheeks.

"Hmm..."

Asmodeus tapped his chin, smacking his lips while thinking of the best choice.

Although the lake and woods brought valuable supplies to the humans, what he wanted to scout for wasn't this. He didn't want to be surprised, and to find the villages and towns that the demons might use...

However, when he closed his eyes and thought about how the monsters and demons lived, these things didn't align.

'They don't care much about lumber or water, only monsters need to eat or drink, demons live off mana...'

His eyes snapped open, and he pointed to the west.

"Since the human scouts called it desolate and dry, worth nothing. I believe the demons would choose this path if they were to invade or attack our village."

"That sounds plausible, but won't it be hard to fight in such conditions?" Asmodea questioned, raising her eyebrow at the thought of fighting in a desert-like environment.

"No... I believe our Lord has a point." Velvet's horse pulled up to the left of Lumina, as she shouted over. "We cannot think using a humans mindset!"

She then tapped her twisted horns and pointed to her black sclera. "Remember, we are demons too... think about what we need most."

Lumina, Erika and Asmodea gazed back at Asmodeus... their eyes lingered on his body before looking back at Velvet.

"Not his cock... you damned perverts!" Velvet scolded them, but her eyes were guilty of the same crime, before she snapped her fingertips and formed a small ball of ice. "MANA, they need mana to become stronger, and if the land is dried up, there is likely a reason."

The small ball of ice dispersed slowly, sending cold air through the group as she explained.

"If we are unlucky, we may even face a monster far worse than a demon," Lumina muttered, her long legs tapping the dirt as they leaned towards the west. They left marks and flags to show their movements to the secondary group led by Vinea.

"I hope we don't find any trouble. We don't have the time to face strong opponents," Levia muttered softly, raising Asmodea's eyebrow before staring at Asmodeus, who sat comfortably atop Lumina.

His eyes were now glowing with a brilliant blue light.

'Oh no... darling, are you excited? You want to fight someone strong, don't you?' She couldn't help but smirk to herself, enjoying the sight of him in such a good mood.

"WE GO WEST!" Asmodea called out—the other women looked at her before she pointed to their husband.

Asmodeus seemed oblivious to their bickering and talking as she stood on the back of Lumina, gazing to the northwest.

His eyes were glowing with a luminous blue hue.

"See... darling always becomes like this when he's excited and happy," Erika giggled, leaning back and smiling brightly at the other women.

"Tch... I've known him long enough to know that—it's obvious what he's thinking about..." Asmodea mumbled under her breath before she coughed and cleared her throat.

The girls no longer competed violently, instead using their words and wit to compete for his love and affection, it was rare for Erika to become so active, but after consideration she started to try harder.

'I love the way his lips twist so wickedly when he's absorbed in something.' Erika thought to herself.

"I wonder if we'll fight anything interesting this time, though. Will it be a hit or miss? I can't wait." Velvet, like Asmodeus, became excited while watching him from the corner of her eyes.

Because of their past actions, Levia didn't openly compete like Lumina; instead, they approached him in different ways.

'I just hope that I can make some progress with him while we are away...' The demon paladin thought, gripping her shield tightly, and glancing at Asmodeus.

The women smiled, focusing on moving forward with their man.

Their expressions were bright and filled with passion.
