"Hey Baberu, are you sure it''s okay to come with us?" Asmodeus sat beside Baberu on a black horse, trotting through the Moka forest.

Asmodeus and Yuina decided since it was dangerous, they would only send a portion of their knights and allies. ''Though it makes me feel strange... for Yumiko to stay in the Inukami village with Erika and Velvet.''

Because there might be an attack to force Yuina''s hand, this was something the pair decided while he spent time with Alice.

"A....ah, My lord..." Baberu''s eyes looked different from three days ago. The moment he accepted the blood of Asmodeus. It seemed he surpassed his limit.

This allowed him to grow stronger for the first time in several years, to the delight of his former warriors, who became over-excited. "I wanted to protect you at all costs!"

Although his enthusiastic voice seemed doubtful, Baberu now treated Asmodeus like a king. It was amusing, yet filled with his genuine gratitude.

''It seems for the Fenrir tribe, like for demons. Strength is everything, so being able to surpass the limits he faced and caused him to be mistreated by his clan caused a change in his mind.''

An interesting thing was that he seemed to have no interest in Yuina in the first place. Asmodeus learned this after Baberu''s second night at the Inukami village. Find exclusive stories on M V L

He came to Asmodeus and knelt while admitting the sexist and disgusting things he said about women and Yuina while begging for forgiveness.

"I see, but remember that doesn''t mean I want you to be reckless. They are still your family, so there might be some who can redeem themselves like you."

"!!!"

Asmodeus couldn''t help but notice the way Baberu''s eyes shone upon hearing that fact. Not that he was being soft or overly kind. Instead, he wanted to emulate what Alan did for him. So, he would give the ones who didn''t directly sin a chance to avoid a heavy punishment.

"You are too kind, My Lord!"

Baberu''s horse suddenly sped up, along with his warriors, while they looked back with glowing eyes full of vigour. "We will scout ahead, Lord Asmodeus!"

The ability to improve meant more to some people than Asmodeus realised.

***

Inside the Moka forest, the aura and mana became thick and woven together, forming mist and fog of pure magic. This is the reason for the powerful monsters—however, in the most dense places, the magic itself became a danger for weaker creatures.

[Oh... it''s a mana spring.]

''A mana spring?''

There was a beautiful pond of water, the light blue shine vibrant and enticing. Asmodeus could see a magical flicker of light mixed with the steam and vapours coming from the water.

[It is a collection of pure mana but formed as a liquid after the process of fusing mana, rain and aura at high pressure before turning into a liquid form.]

''Seems like it would be nice to take a bath inside...''

[Hahaha~ that''s only for someone like you or a demon of high standing. Normal people would melt, hahaha—*snort* ah!?]

Suddenly, the bell-like laugh of Serena sounded inside his ears, before she snorted and suddenly became quiet.

This time, Asmodeus didn''t speak but winked and offered his hand towards the carriage. This wasn''t just about being perverted, but the pool would help her become stronger and more confident. At least with his help; otherwise, she might just burn and melt in the pool.

"Darling, is the water to your liking?"

The soft brown body of Ciela pressed against his chest. Her silky hair spread across the pool''s surface as she stroked his cheeks with both hands, gazing into his eyes with her beautiful eyes.

She was showing him the beautiful brown peaks of her chest, which he felt harden and press against his skin. His hands subconsciously grabbed onto Ciela''s soft rump, causing her lovely face to blush, leaning against his chest.

"You really like my ass, don''t you... Darling?"

"Of course I do. It''s really tempting."

"Ahem! My King~ what about Liana? What do you like about Liana?" The scarlet hair of the demon princess fluttered with her movements.

Then she tied it up into a ponytail, leaning against his back and whispering seductively in his ear. "Tell me, my love~ I want to know."

He could only bite her long, pointed ear and mutter a soft response. "Everything, especially your gorgeous red lips."

Asmodeus enjoyed this light competition. Liana never took things too far, and Ciela was very accepting. As the smooth skin of Liana rubbed against his back, he noticed the cute fox leaving her carriage and parting with her guards.

''Oh? Is she going to join us...?''

Asmodeus collected his magic, ready to coat her body, and slowly filtered the immense mana into her soft, creamy skin. His eyes became fixated on the lovely woman who reminded him of the past Yumiko, just with smaller breasts and a more enticing rump.

The shrine maidens and guards moved back, allowing Yuina to step forward. The moment he saw her, it felt as if time stopped, the sound of her robes sliding across her lovely curves before hitting the floor.

He could feel Ciela and Liana rubbing against him, but his gaze remained on the lovely golden fox, turning her head in shame.

"T-Turn away... it''s embarrassing, brother-in-law!" Yuina''s voice was soft and full of shame, yet she didn''t cover her body. It was as if she was fighting against the urge to hide but wanted his gaze to remain on her body. He noticed her small hands twitching at her sides.

"Come, let''s bathe, Yuina!" His voice sounded confident, but her appeal still shocked his mind. Asmodeus could feel the twitch of his manhood, the desire to hold the lovely princess in his arms and make love to her here and now.

Yet he tried to force those thoughts down, at least for now. He needed to help her grow stronger and more confident as he spread his arms. It seemed to make her throw caution to the wind.

''What a gorgeous woman...''

Yuina then began rushing to him, her long legs tapping the soft grass before his mana wrapped around her body. The black energy kept her safe as she hopped into his arms with her eyes tightly shut.

"Brother-in-law! Catch me~ I''m scared!"

As if prepared, Asmodeus held her with ease and gently dropped her into the warm mana-infused water. He felt her legs wrap around his waist, her soft and delicate feet rubbing against the backs of his thighs. Her beautiful face came close, and her face turned bright red.

Whether from the hot water or embarrassment, he didn''t know at this moment.

"Oh... darling, isn''t this girl really cute? Are you going to eat her?"

"My love, she''s so adorable."

[Damn woman eater!]
