Chapter 227 : Lair of the Demon Lord's Consort - II
Chad, the ranger, began to use his enhanced senses. He pushed his mana into his ears and nose to try to detect any information while Brian started to form runes on the floor, trying to create an escape rune.
"Careful, Chad, if we run away, Adolf has enough dirt on us to end our lives. We can't abandon him without at least checking." The bald mage felt annoyed. His crime of attempting to assault a female noble on the mainland might become revealed if they didn't get Adolf's magic ring.
'Was it the boss or someone else? Shit, this useless ranger and warrior... I hope it was the goblins, but I really didn't want to go inside.'
"I know... there is a strange feeling inside the cave. Though it doesn't feel dangerous, we need to check, right?"
They looked at each other, preparing smoke bombs and other items. Chad set two wire traps at the entrance.
'If anyone chases us out, we should be able to trap and kill them...' Chad thought to himself while Brian brought out his secret weapon, a Morningstar, made of heavy dark steel. The spiked ball at the end seemed to weigh more than a bucket of rocks.
They began to walk into the cave—the floor and walls seemed to absorb any light that entered.
The deeper they went, the more cautious they were.
Chad slowly put his foot down, making sure there was nothing suspicious, but as soon as he put his hand on the wall, it slipped down with a disgusting sensation on his fingertips.
"Ugh... it feels like oil... or something nasty."
"Stop complaining, I can feel it... the presence of a tremendous source of magic. Maybe a special goblin spawned." Brian seemed excited, his mace shimmering with flames, a special enchantment which he used when serious.
The two men walked over—the sound of liquid dripping into a pool echoed as they approached the main room, following Adolf's footsteps.
"Can you hear that sound? It sounds like a female.... moaning." Chad asked, his eyes narrowing while cupping his ears to hear better.
"Do you think the boss has a new woman? Maybe some adventurer's tried to clear the cave and a poor fool is getting his lover fucked before his eyes right now, hahaha." The bald mage burst into laughter.
"Haha, maybe." Chad agreed, wondering if their leader was too cruel to do it where the goblins spawned.
But as they went further, their blood froze in their veins, and their bodies trembled. They could feel a cold that seeped through their flesh, wrapped around their bones and slowly gnawed at their mind. The blade mage felt it first. Brian's fingers started to twitch before his shoulder ached and when they reached the main room, filled with cold food and no people... His inside began to tighten.
The moment they entered, a disgusting stench similar to rotten flesh and decaying meat assaulted their senses. The smell was so potent that even their magic couldn't reduce its influence. The bald mage quickly covered his nose with a cloth while the ranger had to use a potion to stop the smell.
"What the fuck... this doesn't seem like the boss's work..." Chad muttered, covering his mouth and nose with a bandit bandana.
"I know, right? It's too disgusting, where the fuck are the people. Did they fuck up, and all the goblins killed them all?"
"No... I can't even smell the scent of goblins. This room cannot spawn goblins anyway, and the sealing stone is still there... What the hell is going on? Why does my skin feel like someone is slowly dragging their icy fingers along it...
"Nnn~ My king it's too violent, we have to go back... ahn....No..." The seductive voice of a maiden, so beautiful and alluring she sounded like an angel singing out of pleasure. It was the first time the two bandits heard such a pure and sweet voice. The echo of her moans caused the two men to blush, forgetting their fears for a moment.
Of course, they had slept with women before, but the broken women didn't make such pleasant sounds. It was like her brain seemed to melt with pleasure.
"It's just a bit of pain. I'll be gentle next time. Just wait till the end, okay?" A deep yet angelic voice that suited the woman. It felt like a king was speaking to his queen.
However, the two men seemed to be affected by the thick, evil mana that filled the cave as their eyes looked bloodshot, while their skin began to fill with black veins, as if poisoned by something.
Upon a second glance, across the walls, a beautiful black vine covered the entire room, with small scarlet flowers blooming here and there, something bandits would never keep around or maintain this well. The petals were so vibrant that they seemed to be the colour of fresh blood.
And so, they could not think properly.
'Fuck, the boss got himself a noble girl? He is fucking lucky...'
"Shit, Chad, why did Adolf get to see such good stuff? Let's hurry and see her, listen to the sound of the leader pounding her... it's so erotic."
"He is the boss. Now, come, let's get this shit over with. As if we can even look at her, by the time they finish, she'll have been fucked hundreds of times and addicted to drugs..." Chad shrugged before placing his hands on the black door, now completely intertwined with the black roots from the other room.
But, as he pushed the door, the moaning became louder, the sound of wet flesh slapping against each other, the loud grunts and squeals of an angelic woman. It was too much.
They knew their boss was strong, but they couldn't imagine he would be this powerful in bed. However, the room was pitch black, only the sound of droplets falling into another pool of liquid, in the distance at the centre of the room, a flicker of scarlet and silvery white hair... The two couldn't see who was getting it on, only that the woman was face down over an object.
Her screams and moans filled with pleasure, her body jolting up and down from a hard thrust. The dim sight caused the two bandits to shiver as they swallowed their saliva, wondering how amazing the woman must be for their leader to be so enamoured with her.
"Geez... I'm getting all excited now... should we just kill him?" Brian held his mace, the strange feeling in his organs now forgotten over his lust, yet he didn't notice the black vines slowly growing along his flesh.
"Shut the fuck up, do you want to die. I can't even see a single thing." The ranger whispered, his eyes squinting to try to get a glimpse of the woman.
"I can't even see clearly. Looks like the boss doesn't want us to see."
"Is he suddenly shy? Normally he has everyone watch, then they all join in until no one can do it anymore."
"Haha, yes, you're right. But I'm guessing the leader is obsessed with this one."
The two men talked and ignored their instincts that told them to leave the cave. As the sounds got louder and louder, the black liquid in the distance seemed to move on its own, the sound of two beings panting as if they had just finished the deed. With the woman still panting heavily, they finally approached.
The two bandits looked at each other and gulped, gripping their weapons, ready to attack the moment they got close. However, their feet suddenly sank into a pool of thick, slimy blood, now a dark purple shade like Liana's eyes in her demon form.
"Oh my? My King, it seems that we have more visitors.... Nnn... don't move again I can't take anymore...." A sweet moan followed by a strange, girly laugh.
"It seems my lovely consort is sore, haha..... Okay, should we head home after cleaning up the trash?"
The two men instantly felt their hair rise as they tried to turn to the exit, but their legs were trapped... something inside the blood was wrapped around their legs like hands holding them down.
What they couldn't see if the five black arms all expanding from the shadow of the beauty in the centre of the room, her hands now more agile and skilled than ever as she held them inside the blood filled with a deadly poison and demon blood that could melt human flesh and bone.
The reason for their terror? In a flicker of light, the torches around the centre light. They had already seen the man and woman's bodies. Two demons with horrifying figures that no human could have.
"Sigh... can't you be a little quieter, my love? Look, they both defected in their pants and passed out."
"Nn.... Haha, they were scared."
"My King~ let's head back—since everything is finished, we should crush this cave and get our reward. Today was the best date~ and the most wonderful day since I was born!"
Liana's demon form wasn't tall like Asmodeus but focused on beauty and speed; her lovely wings were like Sariel's as they fluttered, helping her to stand. However...
"Ugh... Ah.... I can't..."
Her entire body, especially her legs, was sore, filled with dull pain and felt like jelly as she collapsed. Asmodeus caught her with a smirk on his face.
"Do you finally admit defeat, Liana?"
"No... just wait a second. Ah.... Why is it so sore? Nnn... why did you have to be so rough...
Ahh, it hurts even to shift my thighs slightly! I thought you said you would be gentle?"
"Ahaha, I was, but it was your fault for being so sexy... You're the one who tempted me, remember?"
"Hmph~ well, since you say so... carry me!"
"As you wish, my lovely consort."
Asmodeus lifted her like a princess, looking down at her blushing and seductive expression. It was almost like a fallen angel was smiling at him.
"I'm so happy~ thank you, Asmodeus..."
The moment the two left the main room and headed towards the exit, the place where they were making love began to vibrate, and an enormous ball of blood-red mana began to tremble and pulsate as if it was going to explode.
The bandit's corpses, the mana stones, and the small pool of blood where Adolf died were all buried.
After all, a massive amount of mana had appeared to obliterate everything.
It was like a volcano erupted and destroyed everything, leaving a beautiful half-destroyed blood-red cave where all the walls and ground became red.
Even the water seemed to have been permanently transformed.
