The mont that eerie voice sounded, Liana's soul trembled. A sick, disgustingly wet sound echoed as the figure's body started to deform and started to split at the stomach.
Small gashes beca deep tears in the black flesh, before a row of sharp, white teeth covered in a transparent and sticky substance oozing from the mouth that opened on her stomach.
"Ugh…"
Liana's body beca frozen as she gagged from nausea, the stench worse than a forgotten corpse. Her eyes darted from side to side, as her vines withered in the face of this horror.
Delicious~ ♡♡
Once again, the monster called out in an excited voice. At least that's what it sounded like from the surroundings.
A distorted and twisted sense of delight.
"Asmodea RUN."
The power of a demon, strength given to her by Asmodeus.
Yet in the face of this abomination, Liana couldn't even move a finger. She trembled on the spot, reminded her of the nights she would suffer from seizures after using magic or trying to act like a normal princess.
'I don't like it.'
'This isn't what I want, I'm scared!'
'Asmodeus… Asmodeus!'
'SAVE .'
Liana's mind crumbled from the ntal erosion, returning to the princess who first t the strange hero from another world. She longed for his gaze, his touch, anything that would make her stop feeling this sense of terror and pain.
Chattering teeth, quivering bones and tears pouring down her cheeks, Liana realised in the face of a true monster that she wasn't evil, but a silly little girl in love with one.
The only figure or image that could give her a mont's solace, protecting her from the ntal erosion of the abomination before her. The boy, the man who treated Liana like a fool, called her nas and didn't accept her tricks.
"Asmode—ARGHHH."
Crunch
A sickening sound echoed as the mouth of the monster clamped down, crushing the left arm of Asmodea. Her pupils shrank, pain flooded her mind mixed with terror and body numbing ntal erosion.
Blood, flesh and her existence flowed into the mouth of the monster.
Twisted and deford, rows of sharp and flat teeth, neither symtrical nor visually soothing. An abomination.
"AGH… my arm."
Liana no longer carried the aura or atmosphere of the demon princess of blood, but instead beca the young princess who desired to be saved.
A deep scar that even now, she didn't heal, sothing that only Asmodeus could fill, a deep and dark cavity in her soul, now revealed by the strange magic of the demon queen.
"Asmodea, hurry run!" Alice, despite her terror, sensing the danger of the monster that gouged at hidden inferiorities, fears, and insecurities still called out. She tried to stand, pushing herself off the ground and attempting to gather Mana.
Bzzzt
However, her broken spirit made it difficult as the magic dispersed and fizzled.
"SISTER!"
The one unable to bear this scene, Vinea, Anne the woman who fought against this monstrosity in the past, yet never directly. Now she realised the horror that her uncle Alan faced and why he lost despite being the hero.
"Hurry, cast ntal protection magic, anyone. She is using a psychological spell each ti she speaks."
A desperate plea, but with the loud echo as if intentional of the crunching bones and the squelching of chewed at filled the outpost, most faces beca pale.
This place was filled with panic and terror.
More~ ♡♡
Asmodea trembled, gazing up at the monster.
Her body shuddering and blood pouring from her elbow, unable to stop the loud clattering of her teeth as she lost her sanity, driven to the brink of collapse.
"Ryuji… Ryuji… Ryuji."
The broken princess called his na. Her mories and the images of him, shattering with each mont the monster's magic invaded her mind. Like two dark hands scooping out her brains and crushing and grinding them into paste.
Like a wilted flower, Liana's body crumpled, the monster's gaping maw spreading apart once again like an uncontrollable nightmare.
Ahhhhh~
Once again, those distorted and horrific teeth approached.
Liana could only convulse, her heart pounding as if to escape. Her death would co soon, crushed in the monster's mouth that killed her mother and grandmother.
'I don't want to die, I refuse to cower in fear, please. Ryuji!'
"Help……"
Rumble
The mont of her desperate plea, the world shook as the mouth descended.
She closed her eyes and focused on one thing. To fight back against the erosion, her mind broken, but the mories of the man who stole her heart. He made Liana feel like she belonged sowhere.
That's why she clung to those mories tightly.
If he couldn't save her, she knew he would avenge her.
Her face once twisted and foaming at the lips because calr and colour restored to her cheeks, as she finally opened her eyes, those beautiful eyes that alternated between red and blue.
The eyes she rembered he loved.
"Co, I will tear you apart from inside!"
The abomination's maw closed around her, as Asmodea's body wrapped in bloody flowers covered in thick thorns. She coiled herself in the blood pool from below, and her twisted smile faced the overwhelming darkness that swallowed her.
'So this is it… are you watching, Asmodeus? I did it, I stood up again.'
Praise ~ Ehehe.
With a smile on her face, the monster's jaw snapped, and the world beca silent as Liana accepted her fate.
.

Huh? Why can I still think?
Didn't I die?
Liana's ears popped, her eyes bled, and her senses were damaged because she resisted the ntal corrosion of magic, so she couldn't hear, sll or sense anything after her sight faded.
But the sudden whisper of sound, a voice on the wind… gentle and filled with deep affection, a sickly sweet affection that made her bones tingle.
I am proud to be your husband. You are more than worthy of sharing my na.
My beloved Asmodea.
Forgive for being late.
I will eradicate the insect that made you cry.
The voice was sweet, but full of vengeance, loving but oozing with rage.
She couldn't see well.
The darkness that once overwheld her was blocked… a small but radiant light.
No…
It was a star.
A blood-red star.
He shone with all the brightness of the sun, but poured with a warmth that was only for her.
"Ah…"
Liana's broken voice was unable to piece together his na, but the light grew faster, wider… covering her body in a nostalgic and comforting warmth as the darkness faded and the light of the world returned to her dull eyes.
Like the scene of her dreams and desperate hope.
His black wings spread wide, and standing against the monster.
You finally ca to !
It took you so long. I was so scared.
Ryuji!
"As if I could abandon you, my lovely little princess, who fears the dark." Continue reading at empire
Asmodeus extended his arm before snapping his fingertips.
"Don't worry, I will restore the light. Sit there and watch as I show you how it's done."
Idiot
Overwheld by her current feelings, the princess didn't move and listened to his instructions. Her missing left arm throbbed, but the monstrosity no longer appeared in her sight.
Hahaha! New prey? ♡♡
Even the eerie voice of the monster no longer made her body shudder in fear.
"Prey? Why would I beco prey for an inferior being?"
Asmodeus blasted his wings, the force sending the knights and elves still kneeling and filled with terror flying out of the outposts walls and the influence of the abomination.
Not Prey?
The monster seed to be childish. This made Asmodeus to smirk as he held up his left palm towards his enemy and instantly as if swallowed by an imnse force. Magic was sucked into his palm in the form of a crackling ball of energy.
With a smirk, Asmodeus uttered the simple world in an arrogant tone.
"Bang!"
Vwoom!
All the magic erupted from his palm.
Like a wave of pure destruction, it exploded with a deafening howl that enveloped the monster and once it reached a certain level.
Asmodeus clenched his fist tight.
BOOM!
The explosion rocked the very world—making the sky tremble, and the earth shake.
A deep hole in the ground spread for 50 ters, with a crater that was almost as deep, and in the centre of the flas, an arrogant demon stood before his foe.
He stood as if the world obeyed his will, and the destruction of a simple word was natural.
Once proud and immortal, the monstrosity looked horrible: black ooze dripped from its destroyed body, with its left arm and shoulder socket eradicated, mimicking Liana's wound. The other half of its 'face' lted into a sticky mass of pulsing and moving flesh.
Wah~~~~ Wah~~~~
The monster seed to cry, wail like an infant.
"Who's the prey now?"
With a snap of his fingers, the red flas of his rage enveloped the creature, and once again, the beam appeared from his hand.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Over and over and over and over, as if bringing his emotions to life, unstoppable anger at the creature at himself, despair and frustration from their tears and pain.
The flas burned until the creature vanished from existence. He bombarded the creature even after his magic started to run dry. Blood pouring from his nose, and his eyes turned red from the blood vessels popping.
Asmodeus was not only obliterating the monster, but punishing himself for being late, for not being able to stop his most beloved won from suffering.
Its cry's fading to the wind, as if it never was.
Only silence remained, a silence that Asmodeus enjoyed after his work was completed, but then a small cry from his side interrupted his relaxation.
A small cry that he wouldn't accept in the new world.
The remains of the monster, a small eye… its pupil bloodshot and gazing at Asmodeus.
S…ave …
"Oh, you're quite stubborn."
He lifted his leg and stomped on it before twisting his boots as the disgusting, squishy flesh popped under his strength.
Crunch
After his stomp, the atmosphere collapsed, the strange weight on everyone's shoulders vanished, and Asmodeus finally took a deep breath before speaking in a solemn tone.
"I'm sorry, I was too late."
