Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World-Chapter 585: Ray of Sanguine Devastation

Yumiko’s changes made Asmodeus curious about the nature of his core and the shard of Divinity she absorbed. He couldn’t stop watching her, focused as she bounced with each step she took. The way the black fur on her tail shimmered and the golden tips shone like sunlight also caught his eye.

"How are you feeling, Yumiko?"

Velvet broke the silence, her pace slower as she showed a slight grimace with each step she limped. After their first meal, Asmodeus couldn’t stop there and ended up ensuring he granted the three women an equal amount of Love.

"Ah, well, my hips are a little stiff, haha. You look horrible, Vel."

"Don’t mention it... that monster his stamina and power have grown again!"

"Well~ you shouldn’t have tried to endure the cock that’s idea for me, right?"

"Hehe~" Levia skipped beside them with both hands behind her back and mocked the other Demon after she collapsed and begged for mercy first. "After all, Velvet’s weak little mob pussy is too small and tight."

"Leviathan!" Velvet grumbled and pointed at the paladin, but she just hopped out of range and pulled out her tongue. The changes in the women’s reactions and relationship after the night in that dungeon changed everything significantly.

When Asmodeus closed his eyes, he could sense it. The faint trace of a divine shard in each of the women... a misty aura enveloped their mana cores. This mist transformed their magic and aura into something more powerful.

This aura was the true nature and identity of the Divine.

Divine power or the so-called Divinity. It was just a higher purity of Mana, at least that’s how it seemed to Asmodeus.

With his eyes closed, he focused on his abdomen... a void of darkness that produced that milky black mist flowing from their bodies... though it made him ashamed his Divinity was strongest in their wombs.

But the most important thing he found...

Two small pieces of crystal started forming since their orgy ended.

’It seems that the core constantly purifies and refines Mana into Divine power. And when my core became full of divine power. It solidifies the excess into a shard of divine power that gradually grows...’

So I can make all my women into Demi-Gods at this rate?

Maybe I should ask Serena.

"Asmodeus!"

The playful banter between the three faded, and Yumiko suddenly called out to Asmodeus with a cautious and serious tone.

"What’s wrong, Yumi?"

"There... that, that massive mass is the enemy fleet, right?"

"Hm?"

Asmodeus calmed his breathing and focused his sight on the distance, divine power swirling in the centre of his pupils as the distance became enlarged, once, twice, four times... He zoomed as if using a scope.

"What do you see?"

"Are we gonna fight now?"

Velvet and Levia’s voices sounded, but he remained focused on the sight.

Hundreds of ships

Several Strange beasts swam beside the fleet...

Thousands of knights

And at the centre of the main ship, a large throne with a strange male sitting on it.

It wasn’t Mephisto or Alan, but a male with a dramatic outfit, like some kind of emperor, with black hair and eyes.

But he has a divine aura... not a shard, but a core like me!

The man gazed towards the sea with no emotions, his body draped in noble silk, a black tunic and mantle with golden trims, along with a cloak.

Despite sitting on a swaying ship, the area around the man didn’t move and remained stable as if his aura alone could do such a thing with ease.

Who?

It wasn’t Mephisto...

But he noticed the knights around the man gazing with zeal in their eyes... awe, reverence and fear... just who was he? No, there was probably no doubt that this man was someone like him.

Someone who managed to slay a god and take their power.

Asmodeus examined the ships and tried to estimate how long until they would arrive when the man suddenly turned towards him and smiled.

Eh?

A smile?

Then he lifted his arm, mouth moving slightly.

His eyes widened. "Get behind me!" Asmodeus screamed, his palms raised as a black light cut through the air, dying the sky black as a beam of darkness shot towards them. A massive beam the size of a mountain

"Husband!? What’s going on?"

"He noticed us! Leviathan protect Yumiko, Velvet I am counting on you."

"Eh? What—"

Yumiko screamed, the ground shook, and the sea splashed upward, as the massive beam of purple-black light spiralled with a deafening howl towards their position, tearing up the earth and destroying trees.

"No time to explain! Leviathan pour your Mana into a barrier! NOW!" Asmodeus raised both hands. "Velvet, do the same! Don’t lower your guard for a second."

The divine aura pumped through Asmodeus as the beam travelled faster than sound and collided with his palms, burning them instantly as the world around them vaporised in a catastrophic explosion.

Leviathan pulled and Velvet behind her shield and grit her teeth. The low growl rumbled through her throat, her eyes turning pure purple as the white glowed from her shield that exploded with power, her Mana pouring into the object, an invisible shield covering her.

Leviathan screamed, her body buckling backwards as she endured the blast, while Yumiko held her tightly. Velvet’s eyes bled as the explosion pushed the trio back through the sand, the dungeon and mountains around them vanished in a rumble of black dust.

The darkness swallowed Asmodeus.

His black horns trembled from the blast’s force, cracking under the pressure.

While he couldn’t move or breathe, his muscles burned. His blood boiled until a stream of red liquid erupted from his palms, the divine aura mixed with his blood and spread in a shield that reflected the beam sideways.

With a booming shriek, it tore through the land before bouncing off a black mountain, cutting it in half, before ripping apart the sky and clouds and finally the beam faded with a screeching roar.

Asmodeus grunted as his left arm dropped to the ground with a wet squelch; his hand and fingers melted.

Yet, despite the immense power...

They survived.

"Haa.....Haa.....Ha...." He took short, swift breaths as the burning heat lingered inside his chest, the sour taste of charcoal and ash coating the back of his throat. "Ugh..!"

Squelch!

Instantly, his melted hands and arms regenerated, taking the form of blood, before rapidly forming fresh limbs without scars or marks.

However, when Asmodeus looked around, the destruction of the beach was evident. Sand sizzled with molten rock, and glass formed.

Mountains and forests disintegrated into nothing with steam and heat hissing in their air. He grit his teeth and focused on the fleet.

"An eye for an eye!"

Unskilled with the management of his divine power, he just poured everything he had into his fingertip, a sphere of blood formed, tendrils and lashes of crimson wrapped around as it grew larger and larger... a giant sphere twirling rapidly.

Shrink!

Condense into a tiny orb!

In the palm of his hand, the massive energy of his blood compressed into a marble, his vision swam, his ears hummed, and his hair fell over his shoulders. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

A gust of wind wrapped around him as his clothes batted and fluttered. The blood-red marble condensed into the size of a fingernail, crackling as the aura around his fingertip became unstable. Flesh tore away from his finger, regenerating rapidly each second.

"Ah... this is a little painful." He grunted... but... then with a distorted smile. "You dare attack me and my wives with such an attack... then take this!"

The air became still for a moment.

—Ray of Sanguine Devastation!

His palm swirled with black, the marble of condensed blood started spinning, and his wrist twisted before he flicked his fingers like a trigger, releasing the power in a single blast, his hair shot backward, the energy escaping like a gust of wind as the ray travelled across the sea.

A massive beam of energy erupted from his fingertip, the beam ripping through the sky, tearing apart clouds as the light engulfed the fleet, destroying ships and swallowing soldiers before rising into the air and fading.

Asmodeus watched the male sitting down, his gaze once again snapped towards him, eyes widened, and a hint of shock as the bloody beam charged towards his face, before he swiped his arm and sent the beam to the side before it connected.

He gazed at the male, before the beam faded and the enemy ships still floated... the man’s arm looked horrible, a burn that bit deep enough to reveal his bone and muscles.

"Serves you right."

That man will remember the pain of the burn for a while.

But still... he didn’t die... as I thought...

Asmodeus realised that the upcoming battle might be more fun than he realised... and thanks to the nature of his divine core, he could absorb a portion of anything that touched his blood, be it magic or physical.

[You have absorbed the Divine Energy of War]

[Level Increased by 20]

The thing that relieved Asmodeus was that he could damage someone with divine power.

That meant that even if Mephisto regained his Divinity, he could slay the god himself.
