Chapter 410 The Empire Of The Sun Vs The Kingdom Of Demons (12)

No words left my mouth as I jumped into her arms, hugging her so tight and with such ferocity that she began to get the wind pressed out of her.

"Okay, okay… you're going to kill me, Arpious… Come on, let go," She muttered, and after a few minutes of her struggling, I finally let go and stared into her eyes with tears streaming down my face.

"D-Don't ever worry me like that again. You should've prioritized yourself… I don't care if all the drakes get wiped out. I just want you to survive," I muttered, and she soon brought me into her collarbone, where she continuously showered my forehead with kisses.

"How sweet," A angered succubus muttered from behind me.

"I see what you tried to pull. If you could brand me with the same mark you put on Arpious, then the master-slave thing we have will cancel out… but that doesn't work on me. I'm immune to curses… you should've known that from the last time we fought,"

"N-No… There's no way," The succubus muttered, and as I slowly turned around, I saw her pull the waistband of her given sweatpants, and she looked down in horror.

"That womb tattoo is now yours. White is my favorite color, and I think it looks good on you… but since I'm such a loyal woman, I won't be playing with you. You'll suffer for the rest of your life, experiencing the same suffering that everybody you had enslaved experienced,"

"Y-YSAL!"

"Don't talk to me in such a friendly manner. I'm trying to have a calming experience with my lover right here… So shut up until I give you the permission to talk,"

The succubus opened her mouth to go scream at Ysal, but nothing came out of her mouth, and when she tried to gather some magic in her hand, a white spark flickered out of the ring around her neck and shot down the mana.

The mana was fried into a crisp, preventing the woman from using anything.

"Alright, now go sit in the corner and reflect on your actions. I'm sure the demons out there won't listen to you now after sensing the light branding on your body… In fact, it might ignite the battle even more," Ysal muttered before pulling me, who was still leaking tears into her chest, and laying me next to her as we cuddled in bed.

Though I should've been the one trying to comfort her, I was the one being comforted, as you have no idea how worried I was for her.

"Okay, just get some rest. You must've worked hard out there trying to take down all those nasty demons,"

"Mm…"

"You worked really hard. We'll clean up the rest tomorrow and leave this nasty demon to rot in here for all of eternity,"

…

The next few days went smoothly as we eventually got the demons to retreat, but we knew the war wasn't over yet.

The demonic citizens would still try to get revenge or something akin to that, but for now, we celebrated the small victory.

We had a massive feast where everybody partied from sundown to sunrise.

"Ugh… Can't… drink… anymore…." I muttered as I rolled on the hard stone floor, pushing one of the passed-out knights out of the way.

Ysal, who was somehow still sober, picked me up and brought me to our bed, where she tucked me in and wished me goodnight, but I saw a flicker of excitement in her eyes as she slowly saw me drift away.

"No sex until tomorrow… I'm too tired," I muttered.

"You sweet girl, I wouldn't force myself upon you when you're sleeping, so take a nice, well-deserved rest. Alcohol has no effect on me, so don't worry about me either,"

"O-Okay…"

And just like that… my consciousness slowly drifted away, leaving me oblivious to what was happening in the other guest room of our small capsule-like house.

…

(Ysal POV)

"So, already can't take it?" I asked the damned succubus who was sitting in the corner of the room, surprisingly with her clothes still on, but a deep blush rushed throughout her cheeks and spread to her neck.

"Huff… Leave me… huff… Alone," She muttered through gritted teeth, and seeing her putting on such a powerful front despite her pitiful state was a bit cute.

"No can do… I have to watch your tipping sanity slowly slide away into a section of your mind that you can no longer reach… I'm having fun with this," I chuckled, and the succubus continued to try and burn holes through my clothes with that fiery gaze of hers.

"You're so damn sadistic… No wonder that whore of a girlfriend you have likes you," The succubus smirked, and through my calm smile, I leaked so much bloodlust that even the succubus who had been trained to handle large quantities was shivering in fear.

"I wouldn't call her a whore if all you did was force yourself upon her. And you may say she begged for it, but that's just because of that tattoo… so don't worry, you'll be doing the same thing later on,"

"No way in hell will I fall that low… I'm not like that bitch," She muttered once again with such a wide smile that I could no longer hold in my anger.

SLAP

I slapped her across the face and then kicked her in the ribs with my shin, causing her ribs to crack almost instantly.

"Ack… *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*... Do you do this to your girlfriend as well? She likes getting hit, so I wouldn't be surprised if-"

BAM

I kicked her in the ribs once again, breaking them and causing her to spit blood all over the floor.

"You won't die no matter what due to that skill the heavenly king gave you… but that doesn't mean you won't feel pain," I muttered before fully healing her and leaving the room.

I had a plan for this woman… and how to completely get her on our side.

It was clear Arpious needed her for something, so I'll ensure she still keeps her mind intact by the end of the torturous process.
