Chapter 384
Chapter 384. Detection and Crisis
Demon Lord Kingdom, Evaroti Autonomous District, Old Royal Castle.
At the top of the castle, in the former private chamber of Zilbagias.
On a huge bed, the intertwined forms of a man and woman were passionately engaged.
“Fuh… let’s take a little break.”
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the one reaching for the water pitcher on the side table was none other than the Third Demon Lord’s Prince, Diagias Gigamont.
“Y-yeah…♡”
On the bed, her energy completely drained and breathing heavily, was Diagias’s partner, the black-haired, pale-skinned beautiful woman radiating an aura of grace, the Lust Demon, Libidine.
Of course, both were in their natural forms, and moreover—
“The human body is so frail, isn’t it…♡ I can’t put any strength in my waist…♡”
“Heh heh. You’re doing well to live with this body.”
Indeed, Diagias’s skin was not the typical blue of the Demon Race, but had a slightly tanned hue, and neither of them had horns.
—They had both transformed into human forms.
“Ufufu…♡”
With a hint of exhaustion, yet showing a certain ecstasy, Libidine rubbed her belly. It seemed Zilbagias was right in saying that transforming into a human granted them reproductive functions, as far as Libidine’s Lust powers were concerned, she had become capable of reproduction.
Thus, they were currently in the midst of making a baby.
Using the powers of Lust, they could of course control pregnancy and contraception to some extent, but since tampering with magic could lead to unforeseen negative consequences, they decided to rely on natural methods for the time being.
…Well, that was more of a pretense.
Both of them had their desires to thoroughly enjoy this new “dimension” rather than finishing things up quickly with magic.
Engaging in passionate activities with their weakened bodies was amusing in its way, and above all, Libidine, who had always maintained an upper hand over Diagias, found herself significantly weakened due to her human incarnation, losing her usual composure.
This had Diagias all excited, to the point where they had pushed themselves so hard on the first day that they both fainted. By the way, it was Libidine’s first time fainting too.
“Libidine♡”
“Diagias♡”
Thus, both were completely hooked on their human transformation play.
Incidentally, in Diagias’s spacious private chamber, there was no one else present. Surprisingly, Diagias had none of his other women around.
It made sense upon reflection; for one, they didn’t want their significantly weakened human forms to be seen by too many. The plan for Libidine’s pregnancy was top secret, and the fewer people who knew, the better.
The only ones aware of this “plan” were the elite Night Elves borrowed from Zilbagias and a select few of Diagias’s most trusted subordinates.
On the surface, they explained it as “discovering a new dimension with Libidine,” disguising it as a sort of power-up ritual. However, one could say this too was a truth born from lies, as unlike their previous acts solely for pleasure, their sincere efforts with a clear purpose had led the powers of Lust to reach a new stage.
Both Diagias and even Libidine were experiencing a substantial growth in power.
They were so engrossed that they hadn’t even attended the dinner parties for two weeks straight. While the atmosphere of the dinner parties had plummeted due to the absence of Zilbagias and Emelgias…
“…Oh?”
“Oh?♡”
While they were drinking water and being all cozy—though it was more humid and sticky than cute—they suddenly looked up as if noticing something.
“Could it be… has Zilbagias become a ‘man’?”
“It seems that’s the case♡”
They exchanged smiles, their faces radiating joy.
Even though they were currently doing nothing in particular, they felt a slight surge of power.
And with that, there was a unique sensation that only the two could perceive.
—It was unmistakable. Zilbagias, whom they had marked with the powers of Lust, had “achieved” something, and his growth was bringing power to Diagias and the others.
The powers of Lust did not only grow from personal practice but also from the arousal of those around them, or from those encouraged by Diagias engaging in mingling. Amongst such people, Zilbagias was particularly “extraordinary” in many ways…
“Good, he’s still alive and well.”
While drinking water, Diagias gazed out the window to the eastern sky where the border lay.
“Your Highness and Layla can also use transformation, right?♡ Surely in the extreme conditions of enemy territory, they must be fired up and blazing—♡ It seems Your Highness has finally reached that point♡”
“When transformed, the other side will become based on human standards. How wonderful! I hope Zilbagias is doing well.”
“He’s definitely doing fine♡ Oh, look, again…♡”
“Ah… hehehe. How fresh and cute!”
Diagias and Libidine were grinning like it was their own affair.
“Alright, we can’t let them outdo us!”
“Kya♡”
Placing the water pitcher down, Diagias rolled Libidine onto the bed.
“D-Diagias…♡ Just a bit… be gentle…♡”
“I wonder if I can hold back. Libidine is just too cute.”
“Stop it now…♡ Ah♡”
The night in Evaroti deepened—
Incidentally, from the perspective of the Demon Race, it was currently broad daylight in what humans would consider midday.
†††
Well then…
It’s the Hero… Alexander…
…….
After spending an intense night and timing my return to the deck (probably a tad late), I was greeted by Arthur with a grim face.
“Um, it’s a bit hard to say, but wouldn’t it be better if you kept your voice down a little?”
He chided me.
—I hadn’t been using any soundproof barriers.
Just read between the lines.
The sun had risen, and the ship was starting to move, but the crew and even the passengers were directing very warm stares my way. I can’t help it! Such thoughts didn’t even cross my mind. I’ve never felt like this before. Somebody help me!
“Hohohoho, nhohoho～～～♪”
Also, can someone do something about this endlessly cheerful debauchery Demon God?
By the way, Layla got overly excited and is now recuperating in her room. …She still doesn’t know about the soundproof barriers. It’s probably better that way…
About an hour later, the ship progressed, and we arrived at the next town.
Alright, time to switch my mindset!! There’s a possibility Night Elves are in this town, and once I land, I’ve got to take them down right away…!!
As I was trying to rally myself, I couldn’t ignore the strange atmosphere around town; it seemed somewhat chaotic.
“Feels like a dangerous vibe.”
“Yeah, what’s going on?”
As the Needalun approached the dock, the guards were waiting as if to surround the ship. Arthur and I exchanged glances while checking our swords and shields in preparation for any emergency.
“Hey, Arthur! Is that you?!”
Just as the gangplank was connected to the ship, a hero in his thirties with a strong face was waving his hand as he approached us.
“Uncle!”
Arthur waved back, introducing, “This is my Uncle Seasar.”
“What on earth is going on? It feels is a rather tense atmosphere.”
“From the looks of it, it seems you’re still unaware. Yesterday, we received astonishing information from the front lines…!”
Information from the front lines…?
Oh…
“Believe it or not, the Seventh Demon Lord’s Prince, Zilbagias, has been exiled from the Demon Lord Kingdom—and he’s apparently escaped to the Alliance area!!”
With a menacing grin behind his goatee, Seasar exclaimed.
So it has finally started to reach us…! Even as deep into the Alliance as this…!!
“Moreover, Zilbagias is said to possess a spell called ‘Transformation’ and is escorted by a White Dragon who can also transform!”
Has the information been updated!? Oh, right! It’s the additional info extracted from the captured Night Elf operative in Todomarl…!!
“In other words, Zilbagias can expertly disguise himself as a human, and there’s no telling where he’s hiding within the Alliance’s territory…!”
“What the…!?”
Arthur’s hair stood on end with wide eyes.
“And because of this, things have been chaotic since yesterday. When we conducted a holy inspection, we discovered Night Elf operatives, making things all the more hectic. The inspection of the town isn’t done yet, so we’ll be checking this ship too, got it!?”
“Ah, of course, Uncle!”
“…And who’s that?”
“My comrade, Hero Alexander.”
“Nice to meet you!!! I am Hero Alexander!!!”
I extravagantly lit up with a silver sparkle as I greeted him.
“I see!! Sorry for dragging you into this on our first meeting, but can you assist us!?”
“Of course!!!”
We can’t afford to stay still if we need to flush out Zilbagias and his White Dragon companion!!!
You scoundrel, Demon Lord’s Prince Zilbagias!!
Where in the world are you hiding!!!!
