Chapter Title: Demon God Appears
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Demon Realm.
Beyond the border was a place truly living up to its name.
A red moon hung in the sky, while the surroundings were blanketed in dark-hued lava that glowed with a crimson light.
Far off behind the Demon King's castle, hazy shapes resembling demon cities came into view.
But that wasn't where my attention lay.
"Hero..."
"It's the hero..."
Upon reaching the Demon King's castle, the soldiers glared at me but made no move as I strode through the open gates.
Kiria must have laid the groundwork well.
After seeing so many charge at me thoughtlessly only to die, it was oddly fascinating to witness this outright hostility without any action.
I walked through the Demon King's castle like it was my own bedroom, arriving before a massive door that I figured led to where Kiria waited.
The atmosphere felt akin to an emperor's audience chamber, filling me with an inexplicable sense of solemnity.
Screeech—
With a slight push, the door swung open, revealing Kiria seated upon a high throne. Her yellow eyes gleamed proudly.
Spotting me, Kiria grinned and slowly rose from the throne, descending toward me.
"You arrived quite quickly."
As she approached, inspecting my condition, my gaze drifted to her softly jiggling breasts. Without thinking, I reached out and groped them.
-Squish
"Oh..."
"What do you think you're doing...?"
"Fighting a divine being has me so tense... I figured touching your breasts would help me relax."
"...Hah. Fine, go ahead and touch them as much as you like."
The moment she gave permission, I kneaded her breasts with full force.
Ah! Kiria's nipples are erecting already♥
Perhaps from the last time, they stiffened into pert peaks even faster than before.
Beneath that thin fabric slumbered the Demon King's erect pink nipples...?
The instant I moved my hand toward her nipples...
"Enough...! Trying to loosen up is making me feel strange instead. That's sufficient—stop."
"Not enough..."
"You can pursue your desires after we've achieved our goal!"
Fair enough.
Once we destroy the altar, I'll claim Kiria's virginity...
God or whatever—I'll crush them all!
"So, where's this altar?"
"Sigh... You truly are nothing like a hero."
I pulled my hands away from her breasts and spoke, prompting Kiria to sigh before answering.
"Am I?"
"Precisely. And that's why I like you all the more."
With a smile, she beckoned me to follow. We descended into the Demon King's castle via a hidden underground staircase.
The path grew progressively darker until an inky blackness enveloped us—too profound even to call mere darkness.
"Are we still heading the right way?"
"Yes. Just keep following me."
I couldn't even make out Kiria's form, but her glowing yellow eyes pierced the pitch black unyieldingly.
How far had we descended?
Trailing her eyes for what felt like ages, the oppressive gloom finally lifted. We entered a chamber illuminated by the faint glow of torches.
Thud—
"Whoa...!"
The moment I stepped inside, an unearthly chill prickled my skin to an almost grotesque degree.
Kiria wasn't immune either; a bead of cold sweat trickled down her face.
But... where's the altar?
"Kiria, where's the altar?"
The room was barren, sealed tight with torches embedded in the walls. Nothing resembling an altar anywhere.
"This room is the altar."
"The room itself...?"
An altar without so much as an artifact symbolizing the Demon God? This place?
As I fought the goosebumps and scanned the chamber, an alien sensation—unimaginable until now—crept up from behind.
Whoosh—
"...!"
Sensing something lunging from behind, Kiria and I dodged forward in unison.
I'd distinctly felt something, yet when I whipped around immediately after, nothing was there.
"This is..."
Kiria wiped the cold sweat trailing down her jaw, her expression grim. Then, from the shadows emerged something indescribable.
It burst from the same inky darkness we'd traversed... retaining a humanoid shape, yet utterly inhuman.
Simply black. An existence of pure blackness.
Revealing nothing, just a shadowy human silhouette—yet I instantly knew what it was.
If Goddess Noah embodied the brightest light, this was its antithesis: the darkest void.
"That's..."
"A fragment of the Demon God."
Unsettling and chilling, yes—but nothing beyond that. No greater presence.
Truth be told, Kiria right after battling Rigel had felt more like the Demon God... This was merely an odd, shadowy fragment. That was my impression.
Still, caution was key.
Beings on a divine level might simply feel this subdued. No room for carelessness.
As Kiria and I assumed guarded stances, a line etched across its face, forming a mouth.
The mouth slowly parted and began to speak, unhurried.
[What brings you here, Demon King? And with the hero at your side, no less. What is the meaning of this?]
"Demon God..."
[Planning to slay the hero before my very eyes? What an amusing notion, Demon King.]
[Go on, kill him.]
Its mouth corners seemed to curl upward, but they dropped abruptly at Kiria's words.
"No."
[What nonsense is this?]
The Demon God reacted as if Kiria's declaration made no sense whatsoever.
Without hesitation, Kiria revealed everything to the tilting, puzzled figure.
"The reason the hero and I came here is to kill you, Demon God, destroy the altar, and claim our freedom."
[......]
"Fall quietly."
A deathly silence fell, as if time itself had frozen. The Demon God simply stood there, staring blankly at Kiria.
Kiria shattered the quiet first.
She condensed ominous demonic energy into a long blade and hurled it at the Demon God's heart.
Stab—
The blade embedded near its core sparked with black lightning like crackling electricity, but it gradually melded into the Demon God's body and vanished.
It took the seemingly massive attack in stride—not even blocking, just allowing it. Then, its closed mouth parted once more.
The opening widened gradually into a grin, corners ripping up to its ears in a grotesquely gaping maw.
And then...
[Kuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!]
No exaggeration—the laughter boomed as if shaking the world itself.
Was this what a brain-rattling sensation felt like? Just hearing it left me dazed, growing hazier by the second.
Clinging to my wits, I watched the Demon God's laughter gradually subside.
[Hahaha... I thought you were my finest Demon King creation, yet to think you'd concoct something this laughable.]
"Whether it's laughable remains to be seen..."
[Silence.]
A sharp eye had formed from nowhere, glaring and cutting me off.
That gaze turned my body rigid, like stone.
[Mere creations daring to challenge a god...]
[You wretched beings have crossed a line creations must never cross.]
[And the penalty for that is.]
It trailed off, then clapped sharply—clap—
The chamber's walls blackened; the torches flickered out naturally.
The same inky darkness as before, but now even Kiria's glowing eyes were invisible. Only the Demon God retained its form amid the void.
[Death.]
Squelch—
The floor turned to mud—no, like quicksand. My legs sank into it gradually.
Struggling only confirmed they were stuck fast. The viscous darkness swallowed my legs, creeping up my body.
I wasn't alone; Kiria sank too. Unable to escape, she glared at the Demon God as her body was consumed.
As her face alone remained above the surface, she turned toward me—then vanished into the dark.
"Kiri..."
I tried to call her name, but my body submerged fully, face and all, engulfed.
Yet I didn't die; my body felt intact. Just trapped in the darkness? Then my body floated upward—whoosh—emerging from the dark to plummet downward.
Thud—
"Kiria, you okay?"
Landing on solid ground, I saw Kiria standing beside me, arms crossed.
"I'm fine. Hero, you seem unharmed as well."
Fortunately, neither of us bore wounds. She just scowled fiercely ahead.
Wondering what held her gaze, I followed it.
"Oh."
A pale beauty with dark blue undertones stood naked before us.
Normally, my dick would stiffen at those small, pretty tits and her pussy mound, but...
No need to say who she was. Her presence alone kept me from instant erection.
Though it twitched a little...
"Demon God."
Kiria named her, but even unspoken, I knew. The shift from shadowy humanoid was unmistakable—this was still the Demon God.
But... such a beauty?
That raspy voice had suggested a male, yet now a cold beauty stood there, voice utterly different—silky and chilling.
"Demon King, Hero. You creations have transgressed. Pay for it with death."
As she moved and spoke, her pussy mound rubbed together visibly.
Oh, fuck.
Despite her murderous aura, poised to kill us, that full, plump labia grinding didn't match. It was too much.
This erection.
I can't hold it back.
True Heart Erection.
I tried to restrain it given the mood, but my cock surged to full mast, straining my pants.
Erectionnnn.....!
