Chapter 748: The Demon King.
Leona closed her eyes and enjoyed Victor's caresses for a few seconds. She changed her position a little, laid her head on his chest, and started talking.
"As you know, my Clan is a Clan of Alphas. Much like the Vampire Counts of Nightingale, we wield a great deal of influence in Samar."
"...So...?" Victor asked. "What are you planning to do?"
"I want to bring Maya to our side."
"Oh?" Victor gave a small smile.
"Why do you want to do that? She doesn't strike me as someone who'd align herself with anyone." Victor asked with an amused expression.
"...That's where you're wrong. Like Scathach, she seems to be a person who does whatever she finds 'interesting"." Leona refuted him.
"Heh~" Victor smiled in amusement. "What do you mean by that?"
"Think with me. She is a woman over a thousand years old, with several husbands in her Harem, with multiple children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren."
"She's already a woman who's lived her life. She just wants something fun to do."
"That's where we come in. We're going to offer her this 'fun' through you, Darling"
"... Are you selling your Husband, Leona?" Victor remarked: "Should I punish you?"
Leona shuddered, "... A-As much as I find your punishments interesting...I want to rest now."
"Hmm..." Victor made a sound that wasn't even an affirmation or denial. Clearly, he was still thinking about it.
"Anyway! Don't change the subject!" Leona felt that if she didn't get back to the subject now, her body would suffer more...not that she disliked it or anything. In fact, she would rather they continued, but this and that were different things. Right now, she just wanted to relax.
"Go on; I'm listening," Victor spoke.
"Hmm..." Leona nodded. "I'm not selling you or anything, Darling... But it's a fact that you have a special charm that attracts many people." She paused before continuing,"Therefore, we will abuse it to attract her. Not to mention... aren't you interested in fighting her?"
"Oh?" Victor looked at Leona with an appraising gaze.
"Do you know what the Wolves call her, Darling?" Leona smiled.
Seeing Victor's gaze urging her to continue, she said,"My powerful grandmother has the Title of; "The Strongest Female Werewolf"...." Leona looked at Victor with an appraising look, "Isn't that a very familiar Title to you?"
Victor chuckled when he saw the look Leona was giving him.
"W-What? Why are you laughing!?"
"Watching you try to get me interested is pretty sweet, Leona."
A red flush grew on Leona's face, making Victor laugh even harder.
"Idiot! Don't laugh; I'm serious!"
"I know," Victor commented while laughing. "That's why it's even cuter."
"Hmph. I don't care anymore! Forget what I said!" Leona snorted and turned her face to the side as she escaped Victor's arms and lay down on the bed.
".." Victor looked at Leona's visible back and smiled slightly. He wrapped his arm around her as he stroked her tail.
"You got something wrong about Maya, my dear Wolf!" "... What do you mean?"
"We don't need to do anything to get her interested in us. She's already interested and will eventually align herself with our group."
"Hmm" Leona moaned when she felt Victor kissing her neck.
"We don't need to do anything to make that happen." Victor's hands began to travel all over Leona's body. "We have to let everything happen naturally because if it's not natural, she will sense it, and she won't like it."
Leona took a deep breath while opening her legs a little so that Victor could reach the important part of her:... You seem 100% sure of what you're saying, Darling." She commented, a little flustered. Visible hot air was coming out of her mouth as she was getting excited by Victor's 'sneaky' hands.
"Of course I am. After all, Maya is a woman cut from the same cloth as I."
Leona raises her eyebrow: "...A Battle Junkie, what about Yandere?"
"I don't know about the Yandere part, but the first part is correct." Victor laughed.
".. You don't seem very interested in my grandmother, Darling," Leona asked in an interested voice.
"I don't share, Honey. And I'm sure she won't give up her husbands for me." Victor explained.
"You underestimate yourself too much, Vic. Any woman can give up anything for you." Leona declared. As a woman, she completely understood other women's feelings towards Victor.
If put in short words, Victor was a beauty that nations would go to war for.
Leona didn't doubt that if Victor declared he would become a one-woman man, a war would break out for his hand.
"I know... But if it's like that, I won't be satisfied. After all, when I get into a relationship with someone, I want everything from them."
Leona's body began to heat up even more when her most important place began to be stroked a little more roughly. "I want their feelings, their thoughts, their body...." Victor gently bit Leona's neck and drank her blood.
"Hmmm~." She moaned seductively as the tips of her breasts were squeezed and pulled.
"I want it all."
"...Y-You are a greedy, greedy man, Victor."
"Obviously. I am a King, after all."
Leona snorted but didn't refute him; after all, he was indeed a Kino
Growing more frustrated and aroused by Victor's caresses, Leona pushed Victor and mounted him.
Leona's nostrils flared as her eyes narrowed, "You're playing with fire, Darling"
"Didn't you know? I'm Fire resistant."
"We will see." Leona attacked Victor, and soon a battle of tongues ensued.
...The 'night' was far from over.
A few days later, Victor walked through the Werewolf King's Castle with Leona at his side. Wherever the two passed, the Wolves present in the Castle would look at them.
"Strange..." Leona murmured.
"What?"
"Unlike the mangas I've read, they're not whispering and pointing fingers at us or anything like that."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, normally, when a character stands out too much, the extras start talking about them quietly, in secret but, at the same time, not whisper, etc. You know that thing extra characters always do."
"Ohhh." Victor now understood what Leona was talking
about, "Hmm~" He looked around at the groups of Werewolves. Suddenly, his face distorted into something horrible. For a moment, they all saw themselves being killed in horrible ways.
"Hiii!" The surrounding Wolves ran for their lives.
"..." Leona just looked at Victor with a blank expression.
"I find it very difficult for them to do that to me." Victor smiled gently.
Leona rolled her eyes at Victor's attitude but didn't say anything. After all, it wasn't like she cared about it. She preferred silence to listening to annoying mosquitoes commenting on something that had nothing to do with them.
"You broke the cliché, Darling. How could you do that?" "Meh, most clichés are boring."
"Tell that to the protagonists who pull power out of their asses whenever the situation is bad."
"Hey, those clichés are good... Most of the time."
"Nowadays, the talentless failed protagonist who
struggles for everything is more attractive, you know, that representativeness thing."
"I mean, wasn't it always like that? Genius versus hard- working, and that whole bunch of no-talent boy cliché beating geniuses through determination." Victor replied.
"Indeed."
Walking a few more meters through the King's Castle while talking to each other, they arrived in the room their group was assigned. Soon the two entered a large door and faced their group.
The moment they entered the room, the girls present looked at Leona with blank stares.
"What?" Leona asked.
"You complain about Violet, but you're just as horny as her, Leona." Natalia declared.
"Agreed."
"Indeed."
"Mm."
Confirmation sounds were heard all around.
"..." Leona was left speechless by that insulting statement. She was nothing like Violet! She wasn't so horny!
"Your face says you don't believe me, right?"
"Of course! I'm not like her at all!" Leona snorted.
...Right... Then tell me, how long did you stay in that room?"
".." Leona was silent. The gears in her brain visibly started to turn in search of an answer that would refute all of Natalia's unfounded accusations, but... She couldn't remember.
Therefore, she decided just to take a swing in the dark. "Two days... I stayed in that room for two days." She spoke with absolute certainty in her voice.
... If you don't know the answer, just admit it." Natalia sighed.
"Eh? I'm wrong?"
"Yes, you've been in that room for almost a week. Specifically speaking, you were there for five full days."
".." Leona opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out, so she just looked at Victor incredulously, "Did you know?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Why didn't you didn't say anything?!"
"I didn't see you complaining. In fact, you even asked-"
"Waaa! Do not say anything!"
Victor smiled gently and was silent. Leona was so cute now that he just watched her in silence with appreciation in his eyes.
Appreciation that made Leona completely melt.
"Tell me, would you have done differently if you were in her shoes?" Anna asked curiously. She'd already gotten used to how casual the girls were about their relationship with Victor long ago. She had also gotten used to the fact that she now had many 'daughters' who would eventually give birth to grandchildren worth two entire football teams.
"..." The girls were silent, not knowing how to answer that complicated question.
Would they act differently...? The answer to that question was obviously no. They wouldn't. In fact, they would likely be even worse than Leona in that regard. After all, unlike the Wolf, who tried to control herself, they didn't see any point in not losing themselves in their Husband's pleasure.
"Anyway, while you were away, the subject related to Leona and Victor exploded in Samar society, and now everyone is demanding 'things"." Kaguya decided that changing the subject was the right thing to do.
"Oh?" Victor's Dragon Eyes narrowed slightly, "Who's looking for a one-way trip to Hell?"
"Basically, everyone has something to say on this subject." "...I see... Looks like Samar won't exist for much longer," Victor stated casually, sending chills all around the room.
He spoke so casually about it that you wouldn't believe he was capable of it, but everyone in this room knew that wasn't the truth.
If Diablo, with all the strength of Hell, managed to do so much damage to everyone on Earth, Victor, who also had all the forces of Hell behind him, plus the improvements he made... could do much worse.
The fear the Beings had of him was not unfounded. Behind him, Victor had entire Demon hordes waiting for his order.
"That statement will go down very badly if the King and Queen hear it, Demon King." The door opened, and Maya walked in, followed by Adam and a tall, tattooed man.
"Remember that you are currently the representative of the Demons!"
"...Tell me, Maya. What would you do if some extras decided to intervene in your personal relationships?" "I would destroy them."
"Right?"
"But this is a different situation."
"How so?"
"What do you mean "how so"?"
"How is it any different, Maya?"
"We are talking about an entire nation, Demon King, not just a group of people."
"A nation is no different than a group of people, Maya. And to me, it doesn't matter. One nation, one Pantheon,one planet; anyone who stands in my way will be destroyed."
"And where is it that you draw the line? The same line of honor that gave you the Title of God of Martial Honor, Alucard?"
"That line only exists when the subject doesn't involve my Family, Maya." Victor's eyes narrowed, and everyone flinched as they felt small before him. The only ones unaffected by this were those related to Victor.
"Take care of your Wolves. Tell them to be quiet like good little doggies... Or all of Hell will break loose in Samar."
"... You'd kill off an entire planet just because someone said some rubbish about your relationships? Do you care so much about the opinion of extras?"
"Of course not."
"I will purge an entire planet if all those involved have the power to interfere with my relationship with Leona, and as we know from our history, that applies to all Werewolves."
"...You're overreacting, Alucard."
"Don't pretend you don't know this, Maya. It's basically a cultural thing for Vampires and Werewolves to hunt the Hybrids born between them so that 'diseases' are not spread. It is this line of thinking that motivates all these Wolves to want to meddle in my relationship, right?...
Except for those who want my Wife for themselves."
"You know about it?"
"It's funny that you think I came to Samar with my eyes closed, Maya."
"She's not your Wife-"When Adam was about to say something.
Victor turned to face Adam, and a massive pressure descended on the Elder Wolf, a pressure he only felt on the battlefield when Victor unleashed all his Power.
"Silence, Adam. I don't have time for your useless jealousy crisis. Leona is happy, and I will take care of her like you know I will care for everyone related to me. Now stop your nonsense and be silent."
"..." Adam gritted his teeth but didn't dare say anything. He saw that Victor's eyes weren't kidding now.
"You cannot blame us, Alucard."
"It is a fact that Hybrids are disease carriers for both Vampires and Werewolves. They are, after all, a 'mistake' of the two Species."
"Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it is a 'mistake! The unknown breeds fear; that goes for Supernatural Beings too. When they come across a Vampire Werewolf Hybrid, they just go for the kill and don't even bother trying to understand what a Hybrid is."
"... What do you mean?"
"I have an adopted daughter, and she is a Werewolf- Vampire Hybrid, but thanks to my intervention, she no longer has two natures fighting for domination. She is now just a Vampire with Werewolf Traits."
"I fixed her problem."
"...That's..." Maya was shocked by what she just heard.
Adam looked at Anna for confirmation, and Anna just nodded, indicating that he was telling the truth.
"Do you know why I revealed this kind of important information?" Victor asked Maya.
"... I don't know."
"It's simple. Take care of your Wolves because my Vampires are under my control."
"If I hear any related shit about Leona's relationship with me, believe me when I say they'd rather have kept their mouths shut and stayed quiet like a good mutt."
"The incident related to that Family of Alpha Wolves will be seen as child's play when I am finished with everyone."
Maya narrowed her eyes as Adam flinched at Victor's statement. The Elder Werewolf vividly remembered the horrible state of that Werewolf who just 'looked' at Natalia.
Throughout Victor's speech his tone never changed. It was always flat and authoritative, like a King speaking to his subordinates. He never raised his voice or spoke too softly. It was always direct, simple, and overwhelming.
"... And here I thought you would be more reasonable." "Reasonable' is a funny word for those with Power!"
"Tell me. If I wasn't who I am, what would you have done to me?"
"..." Maya and Adam were silent. The answer was obvious. They would have killed Victor and just thrown his mangled corpse in some random ditch. He would be a 'tragic hero' who fell in love with someone he shouldn't have.
"Staying silent? Then let me answer it for you."
"You would have killed me, killed all those I am related to, and would have erased my existence from reality. You would ensure that any remnants of my existence would disappear, correct?"
".." Again, they couldn't say anything because Victor was correct.
"I'm not being 'reasonable' as you say, but neither would you be 'reasonable' with me either if I didn't have Power."
"He who has the strongest fist is the one who is correct. That is the fundamental law of the jungle that our cruel Supernatural World follows."
"And I, who have the Power to cleanse this damned planet of all you hold dear, am more correct than you... So stop wasting my time, and go control your Wolves."
Victor turned around and sat on the couch:"When I leave this room, if I hear just one damned word on a subject these bastards have no say in, the consequences will not be a predictable 'future', but an absolute fact."
"Communicate my decision to the King, Queen, penguin, or whoever the fuck you want; I don't care."
"Do your job, and I will be a good 'Husband' and not do anything that would jeopardize my relationship with my Wife's family."
"Now, leave."
With a wave of his hand, a powerful blast of blood-red power erupted, chasing the three of them out of the room. With another wave of his hand, the door was closed.
".." The women around the room just looked at Victor in disbelief at what they had just witnessed.
It was clear that the person who spoke in front of everyone just now was not just the Victor they knew but a facet of the Demon King of Tyranny, the man who conquered Hell by force and became the King of All Demons.
What everyone just saw was one of the facets of that Monarch.
"... Darling."
"...Yes?" Victor looked at Leona.
"Can we go there in that dark room just for a few minutes -...hours, maybe days?"
"..." The girls were speechless again. This woman didn't waste time, did she? She was horny all the time.
Victor just laughed gently. "Later, just come here. Let me spoil you."
"Yay!" Leona wasted no time and climbed into his lap.
Outside the room.
"..." The group of three fell silent as they stared at the door. "Well, I've never been treated like that before." Maya spoke in an amused tone, in a voice that was clearly not 'amused'.
"...Is that man really the Husband of that Vampire I saw earlier?" Johnny spoke.
"Yes."
"... Well, fuck." He just realized he was only alive because of that Vampire. 'And to think that her Husband was a Demon King!'
"Believe it or not, a few years ago, he was much weaker than you are," Adam spoke.
"... Really?" Johnny asked incredulously.
"Yes."
"How did he get so strong in such a short time? Even Master Maya doesn't seem like an opponent for him." Johnny spoke.
"That is something I would really like to know, My son." "Isn't it obvious?" Maya spoke suddenly.
"Huh?"
"He got that strong because of his talent. He's the most talented man I've ever seen.
Mix that monstrous talent with an endless willpower to get stronger and a discipline that goes along with those two ingredients. That way, you get a result like this.... Of course, we shouldn't forget luck either. Luck is also an essential factor; it gives us opportunities to grow!"
Maya turned and started walking.
Father and son stared at Maya's back for a few seconds and then walked over to her too.
"What are you going to do, Mother?"
"Of course, I will let everyone know what he said."
"... They won't like it."
"They have no choice. Either they listen to me even through my fists, or they will become one of those hideous art pieces that the Demon King made."
