Clash! #2
—Smack!
The moment Reika’s slap landed.
"Kyaaak!"
Liliel screamed as she rolled across the floor.
Angels are powerful beings; Reika knew that well enough. After all, the messengers who carry out the will of the gods couldn't possibly be weak. Under normal circumstances, a nun like her would be no match for an angel. But right now, they possessed neither divine power nor angelic grace. They were filled only with demonic mana. Therefore, the angel was currently weaker than Reika, the nun.
"You bitch, you keep calling people whores and inferior species, you crazy—!"
"W-what is the meaning of this!"
Her cheek was burning like hell! Her hand was far more stinging than she had imagined! Liliel realized with terrifying clarity that she was screwed, but as an officer of the Great Heaven, she couldn't just let this slide!
"Hmph!"
She decided to resist. She was already miserable enough about becoming a demon; she wasn't going to live her life getting beaten up by a mere human! The angels of the Great Heaven never lost their fighting spirit, even if the opponent was stronger than them!
—Whoosh!
Liliel kicked off the ground and threw a punch at Reika.
"Oh?! You little shit, I've been too nice to you!"
However.
—Thwack!
"Gah?!"
It didn't work. The nun easily dodged her punch, grabbed her wrist, pulled her in, and slammed a headbutt straight into her face!
"Khaak...! Ugh!"
With her angelic power completely gone, her resistance to pain and her defensive capabilities were drastically reduced. Liliel, having taken the headbutt square on, collapsed while clutching her face.
—Drip, drip.
A nosebleed poured out. The stinging pain in her face—there was no way she could endure this.
"Someone like you needs a good beating!"
"Aaaak!"
Reika poured out her rage, pummeling the fallen angel. It was a cycle of palm strikes and kicks. Reika was confident in her fighting skills. Although she had been defeated once by a group of demons ganging up on her, she was certain she would never lose in a one-on-one fight.
"Y-you inferior species! Do you have any idea who I am to act like this! The Great Heaven will not let you get away with this!"
"I won't let you get away with it either, you fucking bitch!"
—Bam, bam, bam!
"Who! Are you! Calling! An inferior species! We're both demons now!"
"Kyaaaaaak! You whore! Stop! Stop hitting me!"
"Oh?! Whore? Did this fucking bitch just call me a whore!"
Crouched over, Liliel clutched her head and shrieked curses. Of course, that attitude only invited more violence.
"You're dead!"
Reika kicked her mercilessly, attacking Liliel without restraint. An angel? It didn't matter if she was a true messenger of the Goddess. Even though she was now a fallen demon, her attitude was completely different from the angels Reika had read about in the scriptures. If the scriptures weren't wrong, then this angel was. It was possible she had become arrogant, emboldened by the authority of being a divine messenger. If an angel had become arrogant, it was only right for a former nun to educate her. Even in a fallen body, she could at least think that much. Blindly obeying gods or angels wasn't a desirable trait. Reika believed that, and she beat Liliel without hesitation.
"Gah...!"
To the point where she couldn't even breathe.
Perhaps it was because she had been beating her for so long.
"I was wrong! *Sob!* I was wrong! Please, don't hit me anymore! *Huuuugh!*"
The angel finally started speaking sense.
—Clutch.
Reika grabbed Liliel’s messy hair and pulled her head up.
"You were wrong?"
"Khugh...! I, I was wrong!"
"Yeah. That's better."
Part of her wanted to keep going, but they had to live together now. Like it or not, this angel had to serve the Demon King alongside them. It was best to let her off here.
"You already know this... but you're not an angel anymore, you're a demon. You can't go back to the Heavenly Realm. Even if you did, the other angels would just try to kill you."
"Kugh...! *Sob!* *Huuuugh!* *Waaaaah!*"
Liliel finally burst into tears.
"...I need a cigarette."
Reika sat down next to her and patted Liliel’s back. She had been beating her up just a moment ago, but she could empathize with her pitiful situation. She was a nun, after all. If a woman was hurting, she had to offer some comfort.
—Creak.
The women who had left soon returned.
"Huk...!"
"How could this be...!"
"Oh my god!"
The nuns and the female knight were shocked.
—Glare.
As soon as Reika sent a sharp look their way, a startled Irene shouted.
"T-then, shall we all practice black magic together today?! Honestly, it's frustrating that we nuns have to practice black magic, but it can't be helped!"
"T-that sounds good... Or, we could practice swordsmanship..."
"Yes! Anything is fine!"
Just like that, the atmosphere in the women's barracks was set. As time passed, Liliel, who had been sobbing, quieted down.
"Are you done crying?"
"..."
At Reika’s gentle question, Liliel nodded.
"Then go down to the basement and fetch some water. I'm thirsty."
"O-okay..."
She would never forget this humiliation.
***
As a result of further experimentation.
"Ohhh...!"
I discovered that mana could be infused into both swords and armor! The equipment imbued with mana had turned pitch black! The iron gear, which had originally been a silver-like steel color, now all exuded a dark aura!
"Time for a fashion show!"
As it happened, the items I used for the experiment were all Vanessa’s knight equipment. From the gauntlets to the greaves. And even the bikini armor. Could Vanessa, the first female knight of the Kulus Demon Army, pull off this dark look?
"Vanessa! Come to my room! Quickly!"
—Bang, bang, bang!
I called Vanessa by pounding violently on the door of the women's barracks. It would be nice if we had some communication devices. Maybe I could do something with black magic? Anyway, I pounded on the door and returned to my room without waiting for an answer. Then.
—Creak.
"What on earth is the matter that you called me so urgently!"
Vanessa, dressed in her casual clothes, opened the door and entered.
"Vanessa. Calm down. Do you see this below?"
"What? These black-colored armaments... No! These are all my equipment! What have you done!"
True to a knight who cherishes her gear, Vanessa immediately knelt and stroked the equipment, shouting.
"I reinforced them all with my black magic. Check them out."
"Reinforced? Do you intend to make my armaments evil!"
"Seriously, hurry up and check them before I stab you in the pussy."
"What?!"
Startled by those words, Vanessa checked the equipment.
"T-this is? It certainly seems a bit better."
"See? I told you."
A knight’s eye is more reliable. If Vanessa says that, it’s a fact that the iron equipment has been reinforced.
"Then, Vanessa. Would you mind putting them all on?"
"Y-you want me to put these on in front of you?"
"If you don't want to, forget it."
"Kugh...! Fine. I shall put them on."
"Take off all your clothes in front of me. And put them all on."
"Still such a humiliating and perverted order."
—Slip.
Vanessa immediately took off her casual clothes. As she became naked, her sexy female knight physique was fully revealed. Bouncy breasts and... feminine hips. A body I really like. Vanessa put on all the equipment while completely naked in front of me, and finally, she even picked up her sword.
"...I'm done."
"Ohhh!!!"
This is it!
"This is amazing!!!"
"Kugh! Don't admire it like that!"
"No! I'm genuinely admiring it!"
A female knight with such a lewd body is wearing pitch-black bikini armor and other pieces! It’s impossible not to be excited!
"I really love it, Vanessa! You're so beautiful! How can you be this sexy!"
"Whaaat?!"
When I praised her like that, Vanessa’s face turned bright red.
"As expected of the first female knight of our Demon King's Castle! You're so pretty!"
"S-shut up!"
She shouted back, but her shoulders were trembling, and she seemed to be in a very good mood. The imprint affects the mind as well. My praise had rapidly improved her mood. Wow, but still.
It really is great no matter how I look at it. Maybe it’s because she has black hair, but the dark aura suits her perfectly. Should I standardize our equipment with this black or purple color scheme in the future? That sounds good too.
"So, Vanessa. I have a request."
"What request is it?"
"Could you do some squats in that state?"
"Squats? Isn't that an exercise to strengthen the lower body."
"Hurry up."
"Well... fine."
Very naturally. Vanessa put down her sword and placed both hands behind her head. Then, after spreading her legs a little wider than shoulder-width apart.
—Swish.
She executed the squats just like that.
"Oh...!"
A female knight with a bouncy and feminine body is doing squats in front of me in that outfit.
"W-wait, what?!"
Did she just realize it now?
"Y-you! What kind of humiliating thing are you making me do!!!"
Vanessa’s face was stained with shame. That’s right. Squats are an exercise to strengthen the lower body, but the feeling changes completely depending on what you're wearing. If a woman does squats dressed so lewdly... that’s just pornography.
"What’s the problem? Didn't you say you would do it, Vanessa? It’s just exercise, exercise."
"Shut up!"
"Keep going."
"Kugh! To think that I, a knight, would be doing such humiliating squats...!"
—Jiggle, jiggle.
Even while saying that, Vanessa kept doing squats, her breasts jiggling with every movement. She really is a knight who listens well to her master.
***
Time passed.
"Good! Men of the Kulus Demon King's Castle! Listen up!"
I gathered my soldiers and shouted!
"The humans will be here soon! So be very careful, and be even more careful! We must find them before they find us! Do you understand!"
—Keruuuuk!
—Grrrruuuk!
—Gyu-sa-sa-sa-sat!
The cheers erupted!
"Then, start the search!"
"Keruruk!"
We haven't been able to make armor for everyone yet, but I’ve reinforced all the weapons they’re holding. If Vanessa’s prediction is correct, the human search party will enter the forest soon! We must find them first and annihilate them!
