Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

The moment Alice and Velvet appeared with their knights, everything changed for those who defended Grigor.

Avandar watched his sister holding her whip blade with such finesse he couldn't imagine this was the same young girl who rarely spoke and remained quiet. Even after she became an adult, he always worried if Alice would find a husband.

"The duchess looks like she's glowing, your majesty." Marduk, the palace mage, commented with his old, hoarse voice.

"I almost didn't recognise her, she's no longer that pale, and beautiful little girl." Avandar said, his eyes wet and filled with affection.

In her younger years, Alice struggled because of her curse.

The Grigor curse appeared in different ways for each of the women. Unable to grow stronger and with a body that remained sickly and weak, Avandar sent his sister to the safest land in the kingdom to serve as a duchess.

However, everything has changed.

Alice snapped her wrist, sending the blade dancing through the air and containing the demon commander's movements. The sharp edges of her whip sword sliced its flesh as if torturing the monster slowly.

"Your Majesty, I see your soldiers are well equipped for the situation." The sudden voice made Avandar jump in fright, but he calmed when it was just Velvet.

A woman who was like an aunt to him, despite being technically a cousin by blood. She was one of the few people he could trust. Even her atmosphere that used to be violent and aggressive became calmer, at least... until he saw her fighting.

"They did their best, are you not going to help Alice?" Avandar asked, watching the demon commander trying to avoid Alice's onslaught.

"Not yet, this is her moment. To Alice this is her showing you how much she's grown."

He gasped before gripping his sword, realising just how much his sister might have suffered in silence, what wishes she might have, these things Avandar never considered before.

With clenched fist and gritted teeth, he watched her battle. "You're right. I was foolish."

***

Alice dashed forward, her feet chasing the demon's steps, mimicking his long strides with a determined face.

Her lips curled as she snapped her wrist to the right, and her blade slashed to the right in a wide arc. The serrated edges of the whip sliced through a demon's neck, tearing through its thick black hide; however, instantly, the flesh bubbled with a white goo and healed.

"Tsk, just like the big guy from the other day."

Her heart pounded while watching the monster carefully.

She copied Asmodeus and what the other girls did the other day and analysed it and tried to learn as much as possible about her enemy.

"It's weaker than that demon, but faster... and more cowardly."

The demon swayed to avoid the deadly whip sword, using its huge blade to deflect the most lethal attacks. "woman, how can you betray your own kind?" he asked in a grainy, distorted voice.

Alice's brows knitted at his words, and she spat on the ground beside her before slashing at the demon with rapid swings. "What the hell are you talking about? I'm human and have no sympathy for the monsters that attack my country."

The demon growled as he lunged forward, swinging his blade into the ground, which shattered the cobblestones and sent sharp rocks into the air shooting towards Alice's face.

"You're a demon, you smell like us!"

Clang—! The small stones sliced her cheeks, one of them almost taking out her right eye as it scraped against the orbital bone, but Alice didn't escape. She stepped into the flurry of stone, snapping her sword and causing it to change from whip form to blade form and lunged at the demon with a focused gaze.

"Shut up and die!"

Piercing the demon's stomach and sliding the sword through its abdomen, the demon's eyes bulged before the blade twisted inside its guts, the serrated edges cutting into its flesh.

The white bubbling gum that caused its wounds to heal rapidly tried to close the wounds desperately, but Alice leaned to the side, avoiding the demon's desperate swipe, before dropping her sword and yanking the blade out, after tearing the healed skin a second time.

"Hmph!" Her feet tapped the floor, taking distance with a light bounce.

"Argh...! You halfbreed bitch!" The demon's grainy voice resounded.

"Your words mean nothing." She shrugged with a scowl on her face. "My master, husband, the man I love is an amazing man, whether a demon, human or beast whatever he might be, I will follow him to the ends of the world!"

Alice might not have realised, but her lips curled into the brightest smile as she spoke about Asmodeus, referring to him as a beast, bringing thoughts of their moments in bed as she started bouncing and shifting her body to avoid the demon's counterattack.

"Foolish! Foolish! A fake cannot become a real!" The demon's stomach bubbled with black blood, no longer healing, but its anger and passive nature vanished as it thrashed its huge blade at her with an enraged series of slashes. "I'll kill you! Kill you! Kill!"

Alice's eyes sharpened as she faced the wind pressure created by its blade, the steel whistling through the air as she used her entire body to avoid each swing while trying to get closer.

"The left!"

Her hips twisted, left leg pushing off the ground as she wrapped around the demon. She nipped its back and right arm with her blade, using the momentum and exhaled.

Alice sensed danger and widened her eyes, seeing the demon's muscles tighten. She pushed off her right leg, returned to her original position as the demon cut the air where she had stood a moment before.

She didn't use any mana skills, only dodging with her physical fitness, but if she missed or mistimed her movements, she would die. But the more the demon fought her, the angrier it became, which meant more mistakes and wasted opportunities.

He attacked without reason, using pure strength without technique, wildly cutting through the air in Alice's direction. But Alice had already calculated everything and dodged with minimal movement and danced like a ghost. Her movements only made the demon even angrier.

And this time, she changed tactics.

"Shaaa!"

Clang—! Her black hair flickered with silver light, sparks flying across her cheeks as she blocked the demon's blade directly, twisting her wrist and stepping forward.

The demon's eyes bulged, and suddenly he was on his back foot. It never thought Alice could block such a powerful attack that left the ground around her cracked and destroyed in an instant. "What are you?!" Woosh—! Before the demon could recover, Alice stepped forward and followed up with a flurry of graceful, piercing strikes.

She stabbed into the demon's thigh before twisting and yanking her sword out, snapping her elbow into the monster's nose before spinning and cutting off its arm at the shoulder. "Hmph!"

The knights marvelled at the transformation, although the duchess was respected. That was for her ability to manage her territory and finances, helping the kingdom's people to enjoy a higher grade of life. Her fighting prowess was something no one had expected or witnessed until now.

"A-Alice... you were always such a frail little girl..." The king stared at her, his eyes glassy and full of admiration as he watched her dance with the blade like it was a performance.

However, the moment she broke the demon's nose with her elbow, it made him shocked at how brutal she could be, and he couldn't help but see the outline of Ryuji in her.

The moment she broke the demon's nose with her elbow, it made him shocked at how brutal she could be.

"Did that demon really change her?"

"It's not just Asmodeus who changed her, your majesty." Velvet chuckled, making the king jump. He didn't notice Velvet at all until she spoke, surprising him more was her blood-soaked leather armour and gauntlets, which she flicked as if trying to dry them out.

"It's because she learned there's no shame in relying on others. That girl was so closed off and arrogant before meeting that boy."

She paused and looked down at the ground as she kicked the corpse of a demon.

"Well... it looks like Grigor is safe, thanks to your help." Avandar could see the demon knights rushing around, crushing and exterminating the fleeing demons. He couldn't help but release a long, winded sigh of relief, knowing things were over.

He turned towards Velvet with a sincere look, "Is it alright for you to be here, what about the north?" He asked.

Velvet's eyes narrowed as she hummed, her lips curling into a smirk. "Our beloved can hold the north alone. I believe he can. He is the one who sent us here, to the other kingdoms, to ensure the damages remained low." She nudged her cousin with a bright smile. "That boy has brought a substantial change to this kingdom and the continent... how strange."

Avandar chuckled before nodding in agreement, "Yes... that is true."

The pair watched as Alice finally beheaded the demon with a violent swing of her sword. She flicked her hair back and then looked back at the idle demon knights.

"Alright, everyone, let's go clean up! I want to return home."

"Yes ma'am!"

The demon knights responded with an excited cheer and followed Alice. Velvet also skipped away and followed them after tapping the shoulder of Avandar, chuckling to herself.

Avandar could only watch in envy with a smile.

"Damn that perverted boy!"
