Lucian could feel his remaining seals rage whenever she spoke like his sister. He tried to recall her visage as her dream realm faded. She said many things that shocked him, almost causing his trust in others to vanish.
'Why can't I recall something so important?!'
However, despite his attempts, the memories were just out of his grasp. Before he could adjust to the changes in his surroundings, someone tapped his shoulder.
Lucian opened his eyes to find a woman now sat opposite him. Inside her hand was his book on Maathra. She was an oriental beauty with a peach shaped face, dark red lips and long black hair cut like those Asian princesses in anime.
Her face showed no emotion, only her long lashes flickered with her purple eyes that flickered with each blink. She lifted her hand covered in an exoskeleton that resembled armour. His book was now in her hands.
Lucian noticed her finger joints were different to a human could bend in any direction. She was strange people would normally give off an aura. However, this girl was like a gentle breeze.
"Interesting?"
She tilted her head with her lips slightly parted, her peach gloss attracted his eyes. He felt she was too unguarded and cute. He watched her antennae flutter as she seemed to wait for his response.
Her race was based on the praying mantis. They lived in the far east near the Arachne.
"Mmm? The book?"
He reached out to take the book back when she pouted and used her third arm to put it behind her back. She narrowed her eyes towards Lucian as he heard a hissing noise.
"Sorry! I was just trying to take my book back. It was very interesting!"
Her head tilted once again with a nod, her fourth arm with a blade pointed to the payment sign of taking books away.
His hands went inside his pocket and took out the fee from his system as he placed it on the desk. He saw an elderly woman sat behind the counter. She seemed to be the store's owner.
'Is this a pretty girl helping the old lady? She has four Katana that's pretty awesome.'
Her head nodded with a smug grin, like she had won some kind of battle before she placed the book on the table between them.
"Victory!"
She said with a light mutter. Her voice was very soft and pleasant to hear. Her eyes still never left him as her bladed arms poked at his horns.
'Eh?'
"Mmmm! Cool."
She was a strange girl. Her actions and words were brief and easy to understand. He could not remember any powerful empusa who enjoyed reading. This girl probably lived in this world.
"I'm Lucifer. Nice to meet you."
He pointed to himself and used his arena name. She was probably a mercenary or warrior because of her swords. So he thought they would meet in the underground arena someday.
"Shizuka."
She only said her name then blinked towards him, then back to the book, then to a small child sized red slime. Her eyes sparkled at the cute existence of Sumire.
"Lushan,"
Sumire spoke her first words other than slime noises. Her voice was a little milky, and the fact she imitated Alice during sex caused shivers down his spine.
He wanted to correct her, but the cute slime girl eroded his mind.
"Wolf!"
Her chubby fingers pointed to the wolf, which was a naked beastman tied to a chair as the 'fierce princess' punished him with her special toys.
"!!!"
Shizuka jumped from her seat and grabbed the book at high speed. Then used her second set of arm blades to slash it into scraps before Lucian could read any further. Her green exoskeleton turned pink, the same shade as her cheeks.
'Was that by chance her own personal book…'
Bang!
She looked at me with a flustered face as she slammed on the table.
"Not mine!"
She showed a defensive pose and threatened him with her bladed arms as her normal ones covered her face.
Lucian felt she was fun to play with, then his attention fell back onto Sumire, who seemed to have gained basic sentience at some point.
'When did she even learn to read this world's language?'
[Sumire shares all the hosts non-combat skills.]
'Eh why? That's some broken ass cheat! What a broken system.'
[You're broken!]
'…'
'Is this system learning bad habits from Siesta?'
[Impossible]
'Toaster!'
[Impotent]
'Scrap!'
[Genderbent]
'…'
[Lose 90% length]
Lucian surrendered.
He not only lost to Siesta, but now her AI could crush his tiny pride. He swore to one day have his revenge on both the system and Siesta as his attention returned to Sumire.
'Sumire, can you understand me?'
"Nn! Lushan, Wolf gone?"
Her head tilted to the side, copying Shizuka. She placed a finger on her chin and seemed in thought.
"Oh!"
Moments later, she had recreated the book using her body and could once again read in delight. Her chubby little legs were kicking at the edge of her table.
"Adorable, take home?" Shizuka said to Lucian. He wasn't sure how serious she was about her words as she placed the red jelly girl on her lap and played with her strange tentacle like hair.
'I had a relaxing time today, it's a shame tomorrow grows ever closer…' He brooded, not wanting this moment of relaxation to end.
— Meanwhile, in Arachne HQ (Von Silver Mercenary Headquarters.)
"Nooooo Stop! Sister, please! Let me go!"
They currently trapped Alice in countless strands of web as each of the Arachne girls slapped her new flabby ass which made it bright red.
Marina stood with a stern gaze as she watched this happen. She wasn't angry at her sister, but worried about what could have happened to her lord.
"You know that males normally die after mating with us! How could you do something so dangerous?"
Alice pouted her mouth and was about to say, 'Our darling isn't a normal man.' Then another Arachne slapped her ass with a whip as she could only grit her teeth and sob.
"Wuuu! Lucian they hit me!"
"Not only that, you kissed him in front of his fiancée and her extremely powerful grandmother!? Are you a brainless slut after 6 months apart?"
Marina held up her hand as all the Arachne then lined up and raised an arm to their chest neatly. She skittered towards her sister with her massive black Arachnid body. Her long, delicate fingers stroked her cheek. Her mana cast the basic healing spell of the water school that eased the red skin on her sister's ass.
"You don't understand, Alice, we are not like them. Arachne are creatures of evil, unlike other creatures that use strange things in their blood called Mura to use magic. We can use any part of our body…"
"That's why creatures of light will die when we mate with them. We use their Mura to nurture future children. This is because of who created us..."
Alice looked at her with a wronged look before Marina continued.
"The evil that almost devoured the world created us, and this is our curse for existing."
She waited for her sister to show some understanding, then ruffled her white hair.
Alice was very easy to read before. After her mutation, she was more mature and less obvious. Her changes would confuse a stranger, but it would not mislead her sister.
"When an Arachne mates with a male, she becomes pregnant when she devours the man's Mura to create a child. This means that most males will die the moment they orgasm inside."
Alice then understood that Lucian should have died many times, as he used her more than a dozen times.
"Sister! What do we do? I let Lucian fill me over 14 times!?"
Marina almost collapsed to the ground along with her troops. Some of them imagined that heaven as Alice already spoke about how capable their master was in bed. Most girls now accepted that all of them might give birth in this lifetime!
Her face changed from the loving elder sister and became a fierce jackal as she rose her arm to Alice.
"Beat that damn sperm out of her! She needs to be trained, just like the other fresh recruits. So envious…"
However, some girls were envious. Since they joined their princess in creating this group, all she would only speak about their amazing lord.
Some girls were doubters and thought he forced her to say this.
A group of girls met him in the city a few days ago. One of them had the artist's skill and created a portrait of him and brought it back.
This caused havoc in the camp and the doubters in the group to become fanatics of the Lucian faith.
— Back in the Demon's Quarter
"Ludris, did you see him yesterday? He looked very demonic, right?"
Chiharu sat on her bed with a crystal glass of white wine. She watched a wooden board with several red and black stone pieces on the table. This was a special item that could show people's positions in real time over the past six months.
"???"
She was analysing the movements of both the human and demon armies over the past few months and looking for a weak point to help her mother.
"Oh… That's right, you can always see him in that figure. No other person can see him the same as you do."
'How did she do it? Has she already fucked him in secret? Tsk! He's supposed to be my doggy!'
Ludris looked out the window. She still didn't understand the first question, but agree'd Lucian was really cool yesterday. He always seemed to shine whenever she looked at him, as unlike Chiharu, he had never plotted or lied.
'Lucian… Even the name Chuchu feels nostalgic right now…'
Her next opponent would be the same man she betrayed in the past. She cared little about the boy himself and more about how his family seemed to have stuffed him with many potions and rare drugs.
The fate of her life depends on this fight, as her mother will abandon her if she should lose.
'Ah, this fucking situation! Wait… Isn't this what that handsome idiot is for?'
"Ludris, I order you to surrender before your match against Lucian tomorrow!"
"!!!"
She looked forward to her fight with Lucian and turned back with shock. Her rematch from the forest with no cheating ghost woman to save him.
That witch was no longer around when she saw him earlier today through his window. Ludris was just patrolling for enemies and was not stalking him.
