CHAPTER 45: THE FALLEN AND THE MAGICAIN

Azazel is often considered either a Demon or the fallen angel responsible for teaching humanity the forbidden art of making weapons of war.

And sometimes linked to Satan or the source of all evils in the world.

I wonder which version of Azazel I am dealing with here.

I thought as I awaited the response from my wives.

"Sigh, where should I begin? Do you know anything about Azazel from myths or legends?" Liliana began taking the lead in explaining.

I nodded and said, "The name was associated with the scapegoat ritual in the Hebrew Bible, where a goat was sent into the wilderness bearing the sins of the people as a ritual, but later he was depicted as a fallen angel in the book of Enoch." I told her everything I know about the name.

Though I only know of this information because I got curious about a character called Azazel in an Anime

’Guess that turned out to be useful,’ I thought with a wry smile, remembering how annoying he was in the anime.

"So you know the important parts, huh, and yes, Azazel is the fallen angel who led the second rebellion after my father," She began explaining with a serious look.

I paid attention as she explained in detail about Azazel and how many disasters he caused for the world.

Just as I know, Azazel fell from heaven due to teaching humans the forbidden knowledge of making weapons, causing wars to be waged.

Also, he led his group of rebellious angels and had sexual relationships with human women, fathering the nephilim

Though apparently they are not giants here

"I thought nephilims were giants," I asked in confusion, and Liliana answered without a pause.

"That was just a misconception, and Nephilims were just like humans, but with immense power that made the normal people fear them as giants among men."

So the nephilims were called giants because of their strength.

After that, a huge war started between Heaven and Hell and the fallen angels because of the instigation of Azazel.

And throughout the History of the world, many such wars were caused by Azazel, and the most recent one was the ugliest as it involved all the supernaturals and even the humans.

"Wait, you mean both WWI and WWII were caused by him? Seriously," I muttered in disbelief at the realization of how much of a troublemaker this Azazel is

"Not only that, even all the bad things people assume were caused by my father were all his doing, Humf." Liliana pouted in anger at how much the demon’s reputation had gone down because of him

"And that guy is now planning to do something again with how he contacted my sister, I believe he is preparing to instigate another war," Alicia muttered, leaning into me, finding comfort in my embrace.

I noticed her gloopy look and held her hand tightly. "I am sorry about your sister. I had no other choice, I either do that or let her take advantage of my weakness," I whispered to her in an apologetic tone and kissed her lips softly.

She leaned into the kiss and wrapped her arms around my neck. Her lips searched for the comfort she needed, and I granted her what she wanted.

I felt the mark on my back glowing and sucking in Mana from Alicia, and she did the same and absorbed my mana for herself.

It felt like the dual cultivation I read in the novels.

"Mhmmm~ Val Ahmm~" she moaned between kisses, making the other girls in the room no longer take it anymore.

"Alicia! Can you not make out in front of us?" Liliana exclaimed in Disbelief and jealousy as she bit her lips at the sight of her husband kissing another woman.

’I also want to make out with him’

"Husband, it’s not fair. Kiss me as well," Iris, on the other hand, didn’t bother to hide her desire at all.

"Dear, can I join in?" Eva asked in anticipation with her innocent, jewel-like eyes.

"Hey, stop already. I only allowed you to take his lap because you were exhausted, but now it’s getting too much." Eleanor shouted in annoyance, completely fed up with seeing herself being ntr’d again and again,

All their collective complaints made me pause for a moment, turning to the others, I said, "Alright, come closer, I’ll comfort you all together." I smiled mischievously at the end

Hearing my words, Liliana and Eleanor hesitated, but Iris and Eva didn’t show any amount of embarrassment as they started undressing me from top to bottom at the same time.

’I didn’t say anything about sex, though.’ I wryly smiled at their shamelessness

But before Iris could bite the place she marked me at, or Eva could taste the thing she came to like, the entire living room had petals of flowers falling from nowhere.

"Ara, I might have come at a bad time, though, seeing my cuties becoming such active girls really makes me proud as their teacher." A feminine and mature voice came from somewhere.

I looked at the entrance and saw a Woman with long white hair and pink streaks wearing a hooded robe and an ancient-looking staff in her hand.

And somehow, I got the same feeling I get with Liliana towards her.

’That person is a succubus,’ I thought in realization.

But before I could ask Liliana who she was, Alicia and Eleanor stood in front of me and shouted towards the hooded woman.

"Merlin! What the fuck are you doing here, you bitch? I already finished my graduation, so you don’t have the right to bother me." Alicia said with a defensive stance, but she looked somewhat scared or horrified at the appearance of the woman now known as Merlin

"Merlin, how many times have I told you I don’t want to learn under you anymore? My swordmanship is already good as it is," Eleanor also exclaimed, and she looked more scared than even Alicia.

Wait...

Merlin... You mean the legendary Magician and the teacher of King Arthur in the Arthurian legends

Wasn’t Merlin supposed to be a guy, though...

’Maybe Prototype was correct to portray Merlin as female,’ I thought with a judging look as I recalled the Game where I first saw a female version of Merlin.

Now in real life

Merlin smirked at their reaction and, with a giggle, she said, "I am not here for you girls this time as Anastasia hired me to teach this little cub instead." She pointed towards me and smiled.

"Huh! me..?" I blurted out in surprise.

But that made the situation even worse, as the girls who were previously quiet started to object as well.

"No," Alicia flatly refused

"NO way in hell I can’t let my darling be abused by you, monster," Eleanor growled at the woman.

"Elder sis, I am sorry, but not him." Liliana blocked her path

’Wait, she is Liliana’s sister, I didn’t expect that.’ I thought in desbelief at the sudden revelation

"No way, Husband is mine, I won’t share him with you," Iris bared her fangs in anger.

"Lady Merlin, I am glad you took the time to visit us for the witch queen’s request, but I hope you understand My Dear Husband doesn’t need your guidance." Even Eva didn’t want to let Merlin any closer as she politely refused her

Well, it seems this Merlin is not liked by any of the girls.

"Good grief, I travelled all the way from Avalon, and this is the type of welcome I get from my former disciples. Sigh...." Merlin sighed with her palm on her cheeks, with a sad look.

Suddenly, she smirked and said, "Though I never asked your permission to take him anyway."

The girls had a bad feeling as they looked at Merlin’s Smirk, and before they could do anything, with petals blowing everywhere, Merlin disappeared.

And to their horror, Valerian wasn’t there.

She took their Husband as well.

"No, no, no, Valerian, no," Alicia muttered in despair as she couldn’t stop that monster from taking her husband away.

"Darling, no, it can’t. How could I let that pervert take him?" Eleanor also had a similar expression

Liliana tried to use her racial trait as a demon to teleport to her husband.

However, she couldn’t sense his exact location.

"Umm, it can’t be too bad, right? At least he’ll come back soon enough after finishing his training," Lilina tried to calm herself, but she knew what Merlin’s personality was.

She won’t stop unless she creates a perfect warrior out of Valerian.

"Hey slut, that bitch is only into Women, right?" Eleanor asked Liliana in the hope that her green hat count wouldn’t increase

And fortunately, Lilina nodded, "As far as I know, even when she visits hell, I never saw her getting attracted to anyone other than women, and stop calling me slut already, I am kind of like your fellow sister now."

That information made Eleanor sigh in relief.

But Alicia shook her head, "I don’t think even a lesbian like her could stay true to her preference if she saw Val’s face. and I fear Valerian becoming a pervert like her"

Again, at those words, everyone shuddered at the thought of a certified pervert like Merlin falling in love with their husband.

"But we can’t do anything now anyway, let’s just hope the worst doesn’t happen," Alicia muttered with a sigh.

The others also shared her look.

Even Eva, who didn’t have any negative thoughts against Merlin, turned gloomy, and in her heart, another voice, much darker, echoed.

’My dearest was snatched right in front of us, and we couldn’t do anything. How long are you going to stand still and stay neutral, Eva?’

Eva clenched her chest and argued back, ’But we are druids, we need to stay neutral.’

The voice in her laughed at her words and said, ’Then what if a day comes where, if you do nothing, our love and everything gets lost and stolen away from us?’

Eva trembled as she thought of such a scenario ’I am sure others will help us’ she tried to reason.

But the voice in her heart sighed in disappointment ’Do I need to remind you that because of this nature of yours to leave it to others, you almost got us killed, Eva! Think for yourself from now on.’

The voice in her gradually faded as she left those words.

Eva bit her lips, thinking about what that voice said, and turned towards Alicia "Alice, can you bring me to your mother? I need some help."
