anwhile, outside the city where the knights began making a camp, an issue occurred. Ciela and Liana stood together and watched from the hill. At the front, Leviathan and Vinea stood together, watching the strange n in black armour approaching.
"Princess Ciela, Liana. We should prepare for a harsh battle."
"Why do you say so, Levia? We aren't weak damsels, you know. Is there a reason?" Liana's voice was sharp, nothing like when dealing with Asmodeus, but how she spoke when faced with bandits, enemies and love rivals.
Levia wore her black armour, which clanged the mont she lifted her black kite shield covering most of her body. "Because Aki and her knights didn't return after entering the city with that noble earlier. I don't believe these knights are here on friendly business, and you are important to my master."
The words of Levia were calm and filled with logical thought, causing Liana to shrug her shoulders before her lips lifted, curling into a twisted smile. "Good, I like you! Let's do as you said."
"Are you sure, Lia? I don't know if they will be aggressive, but what if it affects our dear husband?" Ciela didn't seem to want to cause an issue, her mind returning to what almost happened with her sister and the elves in the past.
"Don't be naive, Ciela—there is no ally here." Vinea's position was the highest just due to her current state and relationship with Asmodeus. Because she was Liana's older sister, the young queen of lust would follow and accept her words.
"Sister, are you sure...?" Liana seed a little unsure until Vinea spoke out, her silky crimson hair tied into twintails.
"I am because our dear king will be angry either way. Didn't you notice that he'd been watching both Yuina and Aki during this travel if sothing happened. Hell will fall upon the city, and we must be there to cover for our beloved!"
"Sister, will our Lord be okay?"
"Liana, leave it to and Leviathan okay?" Vinea comforted Liana before stroking her sister's hair, their eyes flickering with a magical aura. "Let's see what these n want. If they step out of line, kill them, understood Fredrika, Fuuka?"
Eventually, the knights in the jet black armour and strange serpent emblems on their chests reached the bottom of the hill. Many knights and warriors assembled for a 'greeting', so Levia and Vinea prepared themselves for a fight.
"We are here at the behest of Pope Johan Vidus Pontymare! You shall drop your arms and surrender to be given a baptism of cleansing! Too much dirty energy has amassed in your bodies, and you must be cleansed!"
A few knights were wearing white robes, standing near the paladin at the front. His light blue hair flowed in the wind while he gazed at the won like trash. His body seed to hold more divinity than even a cleric of Lumina.
"The Order of the Black Cross is ford from the elite crusaders of our Church who wield Divine Power directly. We have no qualms with making an enemy of any demonic race. So, I, paladin Alexander Lindon, will judge any that decline our kindness!"
'Kindness... this fucking moron.' Liana's face looked blank, hiding her emotions while her insides were black and filled with venom.
"We don't want to deal with you fanatics, so leave already! We aren't so poor humans that can't protect themselves!" A beautiful woman's voice ca forth before Vinea stepped forward. Her face was one of apathy and boredom.
However, the mont she twirled her spear and unleashed her magic, the knights beca tense. "I am the future wife of Demon King Asmodeus. What business does a re paladin have with ."
"Wait, princess!" Levia stepped forward, her black exoskeleton covering her extended hand. "I am the lord's personal Paladin. Thus, this ant who dares to insult our wondrous and perfect master. I shall crush him!"
'Oh? Levia, this girl is really trying her best.' Vinea nodded with a smile; she could feel that since changing, Sheila was putting more effort than possible to repent for her sins.
"Who is this slut, dare call thyself a paladin! Which god do you serve, wench!" It seed Alexander Lindon felt offended; the woman opposite him wore an alluring black exoskeleton, revealing her muscular abdon and skirt. She looked nothing like a true paladin or knight.
"I see you've arrived for blood... perfect!" Ciela took action, knowing it wasn't good to have so many witnesses. She caused snow and ice to appear from nowhere and spread outward. At the sa ti, Ciela's arrows held the other knights who manoeuvred to attack to step back.
"You won't escape!" Levia raised her shield to create an enormous barrier of darkness. Her body oozed with a dark purple aura before she pulled her sword from the darkness. "I will crush you. Fight in a duel!"
"Very well." The man gripped a thin longsword covered in dark holy energy, clashing against Levia's black exoskeleton. The male closed his face guard before stepping forward on his mount. "Where is your steed?!"
With a blushing face, Levia looked at the man with dead eyes, lifting her sword. "I am my master's mount; I do not need one!"
"Pffft?!" Liana, sipping tea in the back, spat it out from her words while all the other won scowled at the extre tastes of Leviathan. Despite being surrounded by many male beasts, none of them seed to care about the situation instead. They were more concerned about Levia getting into their husband's pants.
"How shaful. Do you think such filth can survive in our glorious nation? Die!" Alexander lunged forward; their blades collided together with a dull spark as if lightning struck them. Each held their ground until he pressed harder.
"Do you think I, Leviathan, would let so asly human beat ? Have a taste of this!" Levia unleashed a massive amount of demonic power which coated her body in a thick armour of scales made from dark miasma. Soon enough, her body began to morph as spikes and limbs started coming out of her.
The sudden burst of power allowed Levia to push back the Paladin before cleaving across the air, killing his horse and causing cracks to form on the hill. The enemy dodged in ti, but his bisected horse fell to the ground in chunks while Levia stepped towards him like a fairy darting forward.
"What nonsense—don't tell your power is reliant on another! You demons are truly disgusting," the male spoke while slashing down.
'The fucking irony, for soone who believes in a god?!' Liana narrowed her gaze at the two fighting.
What the knights and priests didn't know was her right hand wasn't stirring her tea but building hundreds of magic circles deep within the ground.
This was the thod of creating her special magic. The Blood River. After experiencing creating one with the blood of goblins and bandits after becoming one with Asmodeus. Thus, it beca her unique spell.
Under their feet, the two paladins clashed violently with their swords and slamd their shields against each other.
While two tres below the ground. The mud already transford into a sticky, wet pool of blood, slowly growing in size. With every second, the reservoir underneath them only widened and increased in depth.
"Are you ignoring us?" It seems Fredrika noticed what her mistress was doing and joined in taunting the other paladins that remained in a safe area with the others. anwhile, Fuuka and Ciela targeted anyone who dared get close.
*Clang!*
A bloody spurt appeared in the air as Levia's sword sliced through the face and helt of the paladin of death.
Alexander had tried to deflect the heavy blow, yet he wasn't quick enough to avoid the powerful attack. He backed away before looking down and realising the hill they fought upon now felt strange... soft and a thick scent of blood reached his nose.
"Ack... Hurry Escap—"
Alexander tried to shout, but the mont his voice resounded, several bloody spikes penetrated his body from the ground, impaling his body in the air.
Liana's eyes filled with pure bliss, while her blushing cheeks darkened, watching the knight in mid-air with holes in his chest and abdon. "Ah~ you shouldn't have told them... now I have to kill them quickly..."
Suddenly, she extended both hands and closed them tight. "Rend and repent!"
"RUN!"
"Ahhhh!?"
"Escape, god save us!"
But they failed to move. Because, under their feet, an ocean of blood suddenly ford with bones scattered across the ground. Even more terrifying, their feet sunk into the pool, slowly lting their armour and flesh, restricting their movents.
"I've got to catch up with my dear demon king...." Liana chirped while hundreds of blood spikes grew from the ocean of bloody mud. In less than thirty seconds, only three n survived due to a black light covering them entirely.
"T-This monster, how dare she!"
A priest shouted while falling to the ground and begging for rcy before a spiked penetrated his throat, letting the priest drown in his blood.
"We must tell his excellency of this monster!"
"She is too powerful. How can we possibly defeat her?!"
"I won't allow you to escape!" Fuuka shouted as she dashed forward, holding her eastern sword and cutting through their bodies. Only one knight is left alive.
"Phew... they were weak after all," Ciela muttered to herself but noticed that Levia was limping... it seed in the final clash, she suffered a huge wound across her chest.
"Levia, what's wrong?"
Liana was the first to notice that, despite her rapid healing. The paladin's body beca sluggish before her exoskeleton started to crumble. Her wound was only growing deeper, with blood oozing down her abdon.
"Hrk... it's nothing...."
A mont later, she collapsed, reverting to her human form.
