Chapter 96: The Lust Demon
Chapter 96: The Lust Demon
Jaejin reached his arms forward, feeling a soft weight pressing down on his lower back. With every trembling step he took on all fours, a mocking voice drifted down to him.
"Why are you sweating so much? Was my thermal magic too strong? Or... could it be that I'm just too heavy?"
"N-No... it’s just because I... I don't have any strength..."
Jaejin desperately denied Lena’s interrogation. Even if it were the truth, it was painfully obvious what would happen the moment he nodded.
"Then could you hurry up a little? We've only made it halfway there♡"
Lena urged him on with a giggle. Unable to disobey her command, Jaejin had to continue moving toward their destination, one agonizing step at a time, with her perched atop his crawling form.
Twenty minutes ago, after Jaejin’s punishment had been decided, Lena had issued a single, simple command.
"Would you take me to the hall? By crawling on all fours, of course♡"
The "hall" she referred to was the assembly area located at the end of the first and second floors of the ancient castle. Since that place was usually used as a dining area during meal times, Jaejin couldn't understand the point of going there now that lunch was long over.
"Ah, so you're going to do that. I'll go ahead and get things ready then, Unnie."
"Thanks, Mari. I'm counting on you."
The two women seemed to have a silent understanding, or perhaps there was a meaning to the dining area that Jaejin didn't know. Without another word, Mari waved and left first.
Left alone again, it was time for Jaejin and Lena to carry out the punishment. Jaejin didn't complain. No matter how makeshift or absurd the demand, he knew there was no real benefit in defying Lena’s words.
He had already crawled naked while supporting Lena’s weight before. Compared to that, doing it in the castle hallway felt almost comfortable.
However, unlike before when he only had to hold still, he now faced the task of moving a woman larger than himself in an awkward posture. Furthermore, because there was no perception alteration magic active, he had to endure the direct stares of other lust demons who glanced at him and greeted Lena as they passed by.
Above all, what made it hardest for Jaejin was Lena’s constant interruptions.
"There!♡ A little slap-slap for Jaejin-nim's cute buttocks!♡"
It was hard enough focusing his entire body on just crawling, but the stinging sensation of Lena’s palms slapping his rear made it impossible to keep a steady pace. Every time she playfully struck his cheeks and he flinched to a halt, she would slap him again for stopping.
"Did I tell you to stop? Keep moving♡"
Smack! Smack! The sound was sharp, but her technique was extraordinary; she controlled her strength so it never truly hurt. Instead, the tingling sting only served to arouse him. Jaejin’s cock stood ramrod straight, nearly scraping against the floor.
"Who—said—you—could—get—an—erection!?"
Lena slapped his buttocks with every emphasized word. Her condescending gaze and the snickering of the passing lust demons were driving Jaejin mad.
Slap! When Lena’s palm struck his cheek forcefully as he paused again, splurt! Jaejin erupted, spilling his semen across the floor.
"Gah...♡ Haah... Haaah...♡"
The force of his ejaculation, staining a section of the hallway floor pure white, was so intense it was hard to believe it had been triggered merely by being slapped on the rear. By the time he finished, a small puddle had formed.
"Did that masochistic ejaculation feel good? Spilling yourself like that against my orders?"
Jaejin couldn't find a single word to answer Lena’s sharp rebuke. There was no excuse he could offer after experiencing an ejaculation far more humiliating than being fondled on his upper body.
"It seems that for Jaejin-nim, being slapped and being met with scornful insults isn't a punishment, but a reward. Isn't that right? Seeing as this masochistic cock of yours is getting hard again♡"
Every one of her words pierced his chest like a nail. It was true that even in this humiliating situation, his cock was swelling once more; to him, every action of hers felt like a reward.
Only after such masochistic ejaculations were repeated a couple more times did Jaejin and Lena finally arrive at the assembly area, Gremory Hall.
Since lunch was over, the place was empty. Lena finally climbed off his back and led him past the rows of tables and chairs toward a platform decorated with antique ornaments.
"The punishment isn't over yet. Now, shall we come this way?"
Lena stood before a massive cross placed upon the platform. Jaejin tilted his head in confusion; he hadn't seen such an object when he came here to eat before.
"I've never seen this before. We aren't the Demon God Cult, so why is there a cross here?"
Curious, Jaejin asked Lena. He figured that since she had gone through the trouble of bringing him all this way, she would know its purpose.
He was right. Lena seemed to know exactly what it was for, her red eyes sparkling as she nodded.
"This, you see, is used like this♡"
Lena positioned Jaejin in front of the cross. She spread his arms and tied each one to the crossbar with a knot. Once both arms were secured, she tied both of his ankles to the base of the pillar.
"L-Lena!? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?"
Even as his limbs were being bound, Jaejin couldn't resist. He had been so dazed by her powerful charm that he had stood there blankly, only coming to his senses once he was fully tied up.
Confusion and panic flooded him. She had used a technique she normally avoided, claiming her natural charm was enough, and had now physically restrained him.
"You'll understand everything if you just wait a little longer♡"
She pressed her body tightly against the bound Jaejin and kissed him. Then, she covered his eyes with a blindfold.
What on earth was Lena doing? If she had given him even a little hint beforehand, he would have trusted her and waited without this anxiety. Her tendency to push things forward recklessly without explanation was one of the few complaints he had about her. However, that last kiss—it was a kiss of affection, enough to instill the same sense of trust as always.
Jaejin waited, choosing to believe in his lover. Creeeak. He heard the sound of a door opening, followed by a succession of footsteps—some heavy, some clicking like heels. He heard the sound of many people entering.
Something was happening. In a situation where he could only guess, the only thing Jaejin could rely on was Lena’s hand occasionally stroking his body.
After waiting in silence for about twenty minutes, a hush fell over the room. He could feel people in front of him. He sensed that they were all holding their breath, watching something.
Then, the blindfold was slowly removed, and his vision returned. Jaejin gasped at the sight before him. The sheer pressure of the scene caused his Demonization to fade, and his cock shriveled up.
The once-empty dining area—no, the assembly hall—was now filled with every Lust Demon he had encountered during his stay in the castle. There were well over a hundred of them, each unique, yet every single one possessed striking beauty.
"Wow♡ He's so cute~~♡"
"Is that Lena-nim's slave? He's definitely top-quality."
"His cock is so tiny♡ She must like cute things♡"
"Huh? I thought it looked huge earlier. Did I see it wrong?"
The moment Jaejin’s blindfold was removed, the floodgates opened, and they all began pouring out their impressions. A hundred women whose mere existence was a temptation to men. He felt as if he would suffocate from the succubus aura they emitted.
Standing naked before them, bound and without a stitch of clothing, he felt like a sacrifice being offered to the lust demons.
Clinging to any shred of hope, he looked at Lena. She seemed to be enjoying the compliments from her fellow lust demons, nodding along to every word they said.
Noticing Jaejin’s gaze, she leaned in and whispered softly into his ear.
"Don't worry too much. You are their King, after all♡"
Their King. Even as she said it, the words didn't resonate with him. Was it because he was tied up in a posture that lacked any royal dignity? Or was it because he realized he couldn't even handle one of them properly, let alone all of them?
Leaving the brooding Jaejin aside, Lena turned to face the seated lust demons.
"It's good to see you all. I've gathered you here today because I have some special news."
Despite Lena’s soft, gentle voice, the hall fell silent instantly. Every eye was fixed on her and the bound Jaejin.
"Some of you may know why we are here, and some may not. Before I explain, I have brought a very precious person to meet you. Our new candidate for the next Demon Lord♡"
Those who already knew what she was going to say looked at Jaejin, while the rest stared at Lena in surprise.
The Demon Lord. They looked at her with bewildered faces, as the matter of the Demon Lord was supposed to be undecided and postponed until the Second Council.
"Actually, I've kept it a secret from you all, but the Demon Lord has already been decided. It will be my lover here, Jaejin-nim, and myself. This is top-secret, so please don't let a word of it leak outside♡"
The fact that Jaejin was the Demon Lord was a secret that shouldn't be easily revealed. The moment it reached the ears of the elders of other races or the human forces, Jaejin would be marked as the top priority for elimination.
Revealing this so simply to such a large group was a gamble. But it was a gamble based on the nature of the lust demons.
"This person here is my lover, my slave, and the Demon Lord who will lead all of demonkind in the future."
Lena stepped closer to the bound Jaejin. A black-haired boy with a slender build. His captured appearance was so pitiful that several lust demons with strong maternal instincts covered their mouths.
Certainly, his appearance hit the mark for most of the lust demons' tastes. But that alone wasn't enough reason to reveal his identity to a group of lust demons who were notoriously difficult to control.
The change that occurred in the bound man's body put those doubts to rest.
"Show these ladies your wonderful side, Jaejin-nim♡"
Lena pressed herself against Jaejin’s slender body, lightly teasing his well-developed nipples and nibbling on his earlobe. As she did, the cock between his legs—previously only the size of two finger joints—began to grow steadily, enveloped in demonic energy.
When it reached the size of a finger, the lust demons let out soft chuckles. Is that all? they seemed to ask. But when it grew to the size of a hand, they began to watch with interest. When it reached the length of a span, gasps of admiration filled the room.
And when it grew even larger and thicker, reaching the size of a forearm, not a single Lust Demon could take her eyes off Jaejin’s cock.
Massive, long, thick, and beautifully shaped—it was the embodiment of a Lust Demon's ideal.
The certainty that they would never betray her was rooted in this: showing them a cock that a Lust Demon simply could not resist.
To those who judged all value in the world through the lens of pleasure, Jaejin’s cock possessed absolute persuasiveness. And the key to that power was held by the blonde Lust Demon standing on the platform, teasing her lover.
Holding his magnificently erect cock so the lust demons could see it clearly, she wore a triumphant smile.
"If anyone here feels they have no need for this wonderful cock, you are free to leave this hall and sell this information for a high price♡"
She declared they were free to leave whenever they wished, but no one seemed to have any intention of moving.
"No one? Good. Then, shall we have some time just for us lust demons?♡"
