Lust Demons can be broken down into three categories: the carnal branch, the beguiling branch and the combat branch. In practical terms, the beguiling branch and the combat branch can basically be combined into one branch.
Certain Lust Demons are blessed with exceptional talent, displaying traits of both the beguiling and the combat branch. These Lust Demons are particularly frightening. Their combat traits give them unthinkable close combat prowess while their beguiling traits allows them to entrance their opponents. Whatever they cant solve with strength, their charms can most likely handle, and vice versa. There is rarely anything these Devils cant handle, making them a truly unique existence amongst Devils.
From My Kingdom for a Lust Demon
I stared at the disappearing silhouettes of the Warhorses. The battle had ended, but my heart refused to calm down. There wasnt any danger to speak of in that encounter; even if Warwraith tried anything funny, my golems could easily smack him away. No. What really made my heart pound was that I had just declared war on the Warhorses.
The horn of a Nightmare Steed was sothing I had to have. Yet the status of a Nightmare Steed within its race was anything but ordinary; every such Warhorse bore the rank of a Grand Elder. Furthermore, the horn of a Nightmare Steed had greater significance to a Nightmare Steed than a Devil and his horns. Should a Devil lose his horns, he would at most suffer restrictions on his abilities. Should a Nightmare Steed ever lose his horn he would ultimately die
Naturally, a horn from a dead Nightmare Steed was fine too, I wasnt picky. However, with their supre position within Warhorse society, I wouldnt be surprised if such horns were treated as sacred objects. As a symbol of their strongest warriors, there was no way they would simply hand one over just because I asked. Without a doubt, they would fight to the death to protect such an object.
The best case scenario would be if I managed to subjugate their race while obtaining the required horn. After all, I wasnt trying to conquer Sable Radiance just for the sake of becoming an overlord; I had deeper goals.
In a fight between my golems and those Warhorses, the Warhorses clearly had the advantage in speed and agility. Should they choose to avoid a head on confrontation, instead choosing to employ guerilla tactics, I would have a headache inducing battle ahead. With that in mind, it was best for to take things one step at a ti. If need be, I could place the matter of the horn on the backburner first.
For now, what had to be sorted out was this batch of Devils that I had just rescued.
Mama, that Devil over there seems to want to talk to you.
As I was mulling over the upcoming battle, my precious baby took the initiative to interrogate the Devils. While she had always been an active one, it was fortunate that she knew to share my burden from ti to ti.
Most esteed one of the Fallen Angel bloodlines we are the servants of Mistress Jeerah. Right this very mont, Mistress Jeerah is being threatened by those Warhorses. We seek your aid in rescuing our mistressO one of esteed bloodlines, hear the pleas of your subjectsgrant us aid
The Fla Demon Child imdiately knelt upon being brought over by Mo Na. It was a female Fla Demon Child who ca before ; I had almost gotten used to the habit of viewing them through their souls now. Yet, I couldnt but feel that sothing was off about her. If I had to place a finger on it
I swept my eyes across the gathered Devils. Over three hundred low level Devils, mostly males and barely any females -less than ten percent even.
That wasnt normal at all. While it was normal for there to be more male Devils than females, the disparity shouldnt be this big. Strictly speaking, there was no gender differential in terms of combat strength amongst low level Devils. In other words, gender had nothing to do with combat strength.
Putting aside that gender disparity for now, I had another question that needed answering. Who is Jeerah?
Mistress Jeerah is our master. The Fla Demon Child kept her head down while she continued to plead. We just ca over from the Prison of the Dead, landing at the teleportation point not too far from here. We barely got our bearings when we were set upon by the Warhorses. They wanted to capture us for food but Mistress Jeerah strongly objected to that. However, our enemies were too strong. Thus, I led the greater portion of our forces away as a diversion while Mistress Jeerah retreated to safety
If the Warhorses were just out hunting for food, it would make sense for them to chase after the side that had more Devils. However, based on what I knew of their speed and strength, they most likely would have split off a smaller force to chase after the other group.
In other words, Jeerah wasnt safe right now.
That was precisely why this Fla Demon Child was pleading for my aid. Still a Devil aiding another Devil sure, the entire Devil race was the creation of Lucifer. And as the head of the Seven Original Sins, the Original Sin of Pride could be counted as the head of all the other races, but why should I help them for nothing?
Mama, that Jeerah Devil actually has a na! Just as I was mulling over that issue, my daughters surprised exclamation reminded of sothing important.
A nashe does have a na.
A Devil normally wouldnt co up with a na for itself. Just like how human nas were all given by the elders of that household, there was also no way for a newborn to na itself. That was a reason why the majority of my subordinates had no nas, barring those with a position.
A nad Devil, regardless of whether it gave itself the na or soone else gave it that na, is still a fascinating occurrence. I guess Ill take a look at least. Who knows, I might just bump into Warwraith again the look on his face then
I smiled and ruffled Mo Nas hair. Lead on.
Hearing that I had agreed to her request, she imdiately jumped to her feet, not forgetting to thank before that. Following which, she sprinted off. Over herebefore we split off, Mistress Jeerah retreated in this direction
I never said that you would be leading us.
Butdidnt your esteed self just promise to help?
Sinmosa.
Faced with her accusatory glare, I rely rolled my eyes before turning towards Sinmosa. She grinned back at . With a kick of her muscled limbs, she sped past the Fla Demon Child who was still in daze after being called out by .
Since Jeerah was a nad Devil, and even knew how to split up to run, she must have possessed an above average level of intelligence. In that case, she most likely would have changed direction while escaping. Could a normal Devil ever compete with a Hellhounds nose? Obviously not. That was why leading the way should be left to the likes of Sinmosa and Sasani.
Keep close!
I grabbed Cinderel and Mo Na as I flew up to one of the Winged Abyssal Golems, commanding it to follow Sinmosa in the process.
Sinmosa had already gotten the scent she needed from the Fla Demon Child to track down our Devil. As she took off with her husband, the couple seed to turn into a bolt of black lightning as they sped off into the distance. Behind this pair of siblings *** husband and wife, there was an army of golems and low level Devils. Yet strange as it might have seed, none of these Devils fell behind. Even if it ant running to the point of exhaustion, everyone made sure to keep up with the golems.
Mama, they arent running away at all.
Mhm, strange indeed.
Normally, Devils could all be classified as selfish. Yet without ever trying to stop them from running away, every single one of them actually stayed behind, instead choosing to go look for this Mistress Jeerah of theirs. Were they all morons? Or perhaps they were just cowed by my golems might. Or perhaps there was another reason
When did Devils beco so loyal? Lest one forgot, there was a couple of devious potatoes who betrayed not too long ago, naly One-eye and Nine-finger.
Mama, Mo Na thinks that this Jeerah is a Lust Demon.
A Lust Demon huh If we were dealing with a Lust Demon, it would be possible for her to entrance these Devils. Furthermore, the na Jeerah was decidedly feminine sounding, basically confirming that she was a female Devil.
After dashing for about three minutes, Sinmosa found traces of blood and signs of a recent battle.
The couple paused for a second to have a sniff, coming to a conclusion soon after.
The corpses should have been brought away the Warhorses, the scent is quite muddled but its still discernible a small portion of the Warhorses have split off from the hunting party -probably to clean up. Theres also traces of Warhorse blood. There should be casualties amongst them.
Ignore the others for now, I want that Devil known as Jeerah.
That Devil should have gone that way
Upon confirming my target, Sinmosa continued leading us.
From that mont on, we would sporadically co upon traces of battle. Without even needing to guess, I could tell that this was the handiwork of a desperate Jeerah who had to leave behind so of her subordinates to fight with the Warhorses. Furthermore, according to the hoofprints and scent left behind, our dear friend was ahead as well
I had a feeling from the start that Warwraith would chase after Jeerah oh how I would love to see the look on his face right now when we catch up.
We pressed onwards, soon stumbling upon a group of Warhorses fighting with so Devils.
Most eye-catching amongst them was a particularly beautiful Lust Demon. She wore a tight, black leather suit. Her hair was neatly combed to the back of her head, past a set of C-shaped horns that curved back as well. Her skin was red, and her complexion radiant. Her pointed ears were dainty, cute even. Behind her, a pair of outwardly black but internally red Devil wings flapped.
I had to admit, she was beautiful. Not only that, based on what I could see of her, she should be a Lust Demon of the beguiling branch.
A beguiling path Lust Demon this is my first ti seeing one. Strictly speaking, Fertinier isnt of the beguiling branch-she belongs to both the combat and beguiling branch instead. My Mo Na belongs to the combat branch while Im while I am loath to admit it, Im probably both of the combat and beguiling branch.
