Chapter 202: Battle Start! - Not a Princess for someone to Save!
Her onslaught of blows met his calm movements.
"You will not escape, demon!" Anne\'s voice, like a feral roar, filled the arena with her aura.
"Oh? Try me, dog of Lumina!"
Yet Asmodeus seemed unfazed and gave a faint smile before smashing her with his axe. The impact as she held her spear with both hands sent Anne shooting into the distant wall as his wings flapped like a bullet chasing her fleeting figure.
***
Erika\'s eyes watched Asmodeus chase Anne before returning to the opponent standing before her. His eyes looked at her and darted from left to right, trembling as he swallowed his saliva.
"It\'s been a while, Haruki. You look horrible."
Her eyes narrowed while she stroked the black handles of her swords, stepping forward with her left foot while her right twisted in the sand. The action formed an anchor point of sorts as Erika lowered her hips.
"E-Erika?! Why do you look like that, you should change it makes you look horrible."
Haruki\'s words caused her lips to curl into a grin, that grin forming a radiant smile. She looked at Haruki before narrowing her eyes into a glare.
"That\'s strange, but I don\'t think I do. My lover said I looked great in it and even got an erection when I pressed against him~ maybe you lack taste?"
"L-Lover... what are you saying, Erika? You don\'t have a lover... We should go back, back to our world after we kill that demon. The goddess promised that if you help kill that bastard, she will forgive you!"
Haruki spoke with a strange tone, his voice distorting while blood filled his eyes, and he worshipped the goddess. Yet his body language was strange, and he spoke as if Erika was somehow Haruki\'s thing.
"Sorry, but I will never betray that man. He has changed my body and heart in ways that can never be broken or undone and I am happy because of that! Don\'t you dare tell me to believe in some bitch goddess when the only person I believe in is Asmodeus!"
"I see... you have been brainwashed. It\'s okay, Erika... Although his filthy seed and member have already stained your body, I will forgive you. Once I make you see the truth, you will understand this is for the best."
The next moment, his sword began to glow with a pale golden light, quite close to Anne\'s but a far cry from Alan\'s golden light.
He then vanished from sight before striking down at Erika.
[Holy Smite!]
Erika\'s eyes opened wide, shocked by the amount of power behind the blow. It was more potent than any attack she\'d seen the entire time from a classmate other than Ryuji. Yet as her gaze lowered, her pupils dilated as her muscles tensed up.
\'However, I am not the same I was a month ago!\'
Her blades, covered in darkness, slid from her sheath, both hands drawing at a lightning pace, causing a clap of black lightning to strike a line ahead of her as the black blades deflected Haruki\'s sword, smashing it into the air and sending sand flying into the air.
She felt the force of the impact vibrate her bones, but she stepped forward with her left foot while gripping the grip of her sword with her right, slashing upwards to meet Haruki\'s defenceless right side.
\'Now is the chance!\'
She thought, feeling her heart pound in her chest as her blade drew a black line in the air, ready to slice Haruki in half.
Only...
"You... You attacked me?! Erika, you little slut!"
[Holy Field!]
A golden dome of light erupted, striking against her blade. The force pushed her back as the edge of her blade shattered.
Erika\'s eyes turned sharp as she saw Haruki\'s eyes lock on her like a hawk. His voice was strange and distorted, almost sounding robotic.
\'Is this guy still Haruki, or is he a puppet?\'
Erika\'s question went unanswered, but the feeling in her chest grew sharper. The next moment, his red eyes appeared close to her face, followed by a sharp pain in her abdomen, piercing through her stomach.
The action caused her to cough up blood, her eyes widening while her hands grasped around the blade lodged in her stomach.
\'No... not yet. I have not lost!\'
Haruki\'s body became eerie.
He stood with a twisted smile while his fingers slipped along the blood dripping from his sword. Then he started to lick his fingers, drinking Erika\'s blood.
"Delicious, this is Erika\'s taste~ a little sour, but I cannot stand it! More... Give me more!"
His twisted words were like a whisper, spoken with a twisted, demonic smile. He licked his lips and leaned closer, his tongue flicking against his sword, lapping up the blood.
\'Disgusting... he\'s disgusting! How is this a holy knight... how is this a hero!\'
"Do not worry, Erika... I will give you a place in my new kingdom. I will forgive your sins and allow you to serve me. All you have to do is beg. Get on your knees and beg, Erika! Forget about that bastard.
All that trash can do is force you into his bed and lie to you!"
"..."
Erika\'s wound slowly healed, yet the words of Haruki caused her small affection towards a classmate and one of her oldest friendships to shatter in a single moment.
A small gust of wind sounded in Haruki\'s ears, a strange thing as the loud sound of combat around him, explosions from magic and the clash of Anne and Asmodeus caused rumbling noises. Yet he could hear the soft wind for a moment.
Just a moment...
In the next breath, Erika changed...
Her armour began to deform, becoming more demonic as two horns started to grow from her forehead, with spikes growing on her entire armour while a tail flickered behind her back as her swords transformed into blades of pure darkness.
"What is this? Is that the power of a demon?!"
Haruki\'s eyes changed. His fear shifted to hatred, filled with bloodlust, a hatred so powerful it even put Lumina to shame.
"How dare you? How could you betray me, Erika? After all that I\'ve done for you!"
"Be silent—he is the only man I have ever loved. Betrayal? Hah, you\'re just a pathetic little stalker who wanted to force me into a feeling of solitude so I might look at you and accept your love."
Erika\'s hands placed both swords towards Haruki, while she took a shallow breath, yet her body gave an aura of liveliness and delight. "Foolish, foolish human. You have made a grave error in becoming his enemy. Your magic will become food for my husband."
"Erika... You are Erika, right? Do you not remember our time together, Erika?!"
However, she didn\'t speak—with a flash of black light, her blades appeared inches from his face while her body twirled in the air.
"You will die."
In that instant, her words were cold as ice while her right hand whipped around, smashing his sword away as the black sword sliced through his cheek.
"Damn it!"
Haruki\'s scream became a terrified wail, his body trembling before her blade impaled his body. It caused the crowd to silence, and the students watched to turn white as he staggered backwards, his sword clanging as it rolled across the floor, landing at her feet.
"See? You are weak. Now, perish!"
Haruki\'s blood dripped, but his lips curled as he forced his body to move.
"Demon... Demon... I won\'t let this happen! You are not Erika... just a demon whore... I can smell the filthy scent from your body..."
Erika didn\'t notice his transformation or the change in his eyes as his pupils became golden while his muscles all swelled one size larger, causing his veins to burst inside his body, the pressure causing him to start to degrade and fall apart.
Yet he attained a power beyond anything he had before.
[Impale - Drakonus!]
"Eh?!"
The sword at Erika\'s feet turned into a golden light before flying upwards and piercing her chest. It caused her eyes to widen, the pain and the shock causing her body to stagger backwards as his sword, now infused with golden light, tore from her chest and flicked into his hand.
Erika\'s lips dripped with blood as she bit her tongue, desperate to resist the burning agony inside her chest, the divine light stopping her from healing or regenerating.
\'Divine light... So this is the power of the goddess.\'
She realised the danger, looking at Haruki as she tried to dodge. Yet Haruki moved faster than before, his fist appearing in the air and slamming into her stomach with enough power to lift her from the floor.
"Gaha!"
Erika spat a mouthful of blood, her body crashing to the ground. She felt her body turning weak and struggled to stand, her head rolling from side to side.
"Hahaha, look at you bitch! Did it feel good to sway your disgraceful hips on the demon\'s cock? How many times did his disgusting seed desecrate your holy womb!"
\'He\'s crying... yet has an erection. Is this really Haruki?\'
The feeling during combat felt as if someone was controlling Haruki, while the look on his face, despite the harsh words, was pathetic... His nose oozed with snot, his eyes streamed with tears, and his crotch pitched a tiny tent as if he enjoyed the images of what he accused her of.
"You know... you\'re wrong."
"Wrong?"
"Yeah..."
Erika spoke a word and then pushed her body up.
Her right arm grasped around the handle of her sword, her body trembling as she slowly stood and began to stroke herself, with a euphoric look on her face, desperate to gather time to heal her chest wound.
"The feeling as his huge, demonic cock penetrated me forcefully~ Ah, just the thought makes me wet~ I can\'t help but long for him to push me down and violate me until I pass out from his ferocious libido."
Her words were like poison, a sweet and addictive poison that entered Haruki\'s ears, the imagery making him tremble and reach a sexual climax at the very thought.
"And you know the best part? He never uses protection~ repeatedly. He fills me with his hot, sticky semen to the brim even when I become unconscious. I awaken with my womb so full, my body feels stuffy and like he filled me with jelly."
"Y-You\'re lying."
His mouth denied it, but she could feel his fiery glance.
This hero was clearly sick in his mind... Aroused by the thought she was defiled and violated by Asmodeus, he even reached climax!
\'A true cuckold.\'
"Oh, do you want to see?"
Erika\'s hand touched her stomach, her tail moving up as she reached down and pretended to loosen her armour before she vanished from sight.
Her speed, power and spirits soaring because of her belief in Asmodeus. She then appeared several steps behind Haruki, one of her two black blades embedded in his abdomen as she twirled around with a brilliant smile on her face.
"Now, that makes us even for you stabbing my chest, right?"
Her fingers grasped around the blade, lifting it before flicking his blood. She didn\'t give him time to answer, kicking him in the chest and sending him flying into the wall as her spare hand pointed towards him forming a black misty aura of magic that formed slowly into blades of darkness.
"You won\'t escape, little cuck~ I\'m going to make you suffer! Do you think I didn\'t realise you made people assault, bribe, and blackmail all my friends over the years? To isolate me, to force me to become your ideal princess! Well, fuck you... I like sex, having my breasts milked, kissing Asmodeus, loving alcohol and now even fighting makes me excited!
Your princess died the moment his love skewered her and brought her into a world of happiness, bliss and pleasure!"
"No, no, no, no... This is not how this was supposed to go. You were meant to be with me. Not him. Not some demon! You were meant to marry the hero and live happily ever after the end.
Yet you\'re a fucking whore that likes the touch of a demon."
"Awww~ You poor baby, I bet you imagined what it would be like, right? To hold my hand, kiss my lips, and suck my juices like a dog drinking water after being stuck in the desert. But you were never meant to be the hero. Nor am I a damsel who needed your glass cage!"
"Shut up! Shut up! I will kill you!"
"Do it."
Erika\'s dark magic surrounded the air, the sensation causing a chill in the air.
[Dark Lance Barrage!]
"Huh?"
The words left his lips. But it was too late. The barrage of spears pierced his body. Yet her expression was a radiant smile.
"Don\'t be so proud, slut!"
Haruki\'s voice was filled with anger, but there was something strange. He was covered in a layer of golden light, stopping the darkness from harming his body.
However, at the same time, it became obvious his body was deformed, his left arm now swollen with veins bulging from his skin, blood oozing from his powers, while his left eye seemed to be blind and his muscles visibly writhed.
"Damn... Divine protection..."
"Since you love that little demon, then endure the same punishment! O glorious goddess of light, grant this servant the power to defeat the enemies of your domain!"
[Divine Ray]
