Chapter 688: Battle Empress Serena
Serena stood in the centre of chaos, blood and limbs flying around as Lumina and the Demon Knights slaughtered the guards brought by the mainland’s delegation.
‘Will he get angry?’ She thought back to Asmodeus, who had held her intensely the night before. The way his muscular arms crushed her back just enough that she felt subli euphoria.
“This was the correct choice.”
Lumina tapped Serena’s shoulder while wiping the blood from her webbing with a smile.
“Because of this, he’ll have to fight again…”
Serena worried about Asmodeus more than anything else. He fought and suffered for her, and she couldn’t do anything other than keep him warm at night.
‘No, I cannot be this sentintal.’
Suddenly, her atmosphere changed as she turned to Leviathan and snapped her fingers.
“Levia, take the demon knights and kill anyone who is from the mainland’s delegation.”
“Hah!”
Serena took a breath, then continued. “Right now, our children are the most important, Levia. Inform Velvet, Vinea and Alice to prepare for war, and have the strongest knights protect the little ones. Move them all to the hidden palace.”
She shook her head, watching Levia leave with a bright expression. “Lumina!”
“What’s wrong, Sister?”
Lumina forgot to speak informally, yet Serena just shook her head and placed both hands on her shoulders.
“Please, use your powers and barrier to keep them safe. With your Domain, we can keep the children hidden for at least six months. We don’t know how long Darling will be in the Mainland, but we have to hold one without him.”
The preparations in her mind didn’t amount to just the humans of the mainland. ‘If they summon their patron gods, and bring warriors like the Grand Duke… We will win, but the damage will be great.’
Unlike Asmodeus, the only combat-type goddess was Velvet.
The others hadn’t reached Rank Two or even touched Rank Three, and as for Lumina and Serena herself, their powers ca from specialised domains, with Lumina’s golden webbing perfect for defence and illusion and Serena’s Midnight Domain a type of field domain that buffed all dark elental and demons who stood in it.
‘Even if we can maintain our domains constantly… If we use so much divine power, the gods won’t stand still. Not to ntion those wretched constructs.’
“I’ll do whatever it takes, sister.”
Lumina didn’t complain about her task. Instead, her eyes changed whenever soone ntioned Asmodeus or their children, and she beca a terrifying demoness. She didn’t speak again and vanished.
“Phew… Lumina, Levia, thank you.”
Serena’s changes started after she beca a mother; in the past, she couldn’t possibly imagine herself being so aggressive or violent.
However, the second that filthy human ntioned her husband, or the demon empire, her heart exploded with a dark malice that still lingered in her chest. And yet, as she stroked her abdon where the evil aura swirled, she felt complete for the first ti.
‘Imitating my dear husband’s attack… how exhilarating~’
The hot sensation between her thighs brought a smile to the empress. She wanted to rush to Asmodeus right now… and conceive her third child. But the logical part of her mind stopped her from falling prey to her emotions and desires.
She took a deep breath, then her lips curled into a deep smile.
“It seems I’ve finally fallen and beco a real demoness.”
Serena left the throne room with a twisted expression, but her heart and soul felt euphoric. There was so much to do and so little ti. ‘Will he be happy? When he cos ho… I hope that I can make this empire much greater.’
A sudden desire for improvent and ambition grew in the fallen goddess. No longer bound to the rules of the gods, she could do whatever she wanted.
Even if it ant getting blood on her hands.
***
anwhile, in the hidden palace, the children were gathered together, most of them quiet, but a little restless; Nyx and Seris were quite aggressive. The pair held wooden weapons and continued to clash with each other.
Seris darted forward with a rapier, her red hair fluttering like roses as she thrust towards Nyxielle’s chest. “Stop being dramatic, Nyx!”
Nyxielle’s dark curls bounced as she slamd away the rapier using her sword, and imdiately stepped into Seris’s range and slapped her cheek. “I don’t care!”
Clack!
With a sudden sweep, her rapier slashed at Nyx’s thigh, causing her to jump back.
“Children!”
Suddenly, a deep voice bellowed through the halls, causing them to freeze. Nyxielle looked up at the armoured won, Velvet, Vinea and Asmodea all stood at the entrance, causing both girls to tear up and turn red.
“Mom!”
“But Mother!”
Velvet’s figure vanished as she quickly scooped up Nyxielle and used her tail to brush the hair of Seris gently.
“Don’t cry, Seri. I know you were just trying to make Nyx calm down.”
“Mother Velvet…”
Asmodea slipped beside her daughter with a gentle smile. She glanced at the upset Nyxielle and winked. “You too Nyx. It’s just that you worried about your mother, right?”
“Nn…”
Both girls nodded and dropped their weapons. The two mothers looked back at each other and smiled, the personalities of their children already developing more than they expected.
Erika’s son Leon, with his ash-blond hair, stood beside a pair of pretty twins.
One with pale blue skin, soft pink hair and a single dark ahoge that flicked back to form a curved heart shape. And from her hips, a small black tail flicked around with a tiny heart-shaped barb.
“Brother Leon, what if they hurt themselves?”
The other, with warm turquoise hair with dark tips, her skin smooth and dark, with tiny curved horns and the sa tail as the other.
“Hehe, that big mouth lost~ Brother Ardyn, don’t you think Sister Seris is super cool?!”
Ardyn watched quietly. His red eyes almost seed to analyse the entire room. Despite his young age, his mother, Alice, constantly taught him difficult subjects and gave him tos to read instead of a blade.
“You’re right, Sister Thalys.”
Thalys, the daughter of Riel, was bold, playful and enjoyed playing tricks on Lith and Nyxielle. But her sister Elira, the daughter of Sariel, resembled her aunt more. A sweet, loving and natural singer who tried to keep the peace.
“Are you alright, little ones?” A soothingly deep voice called out from above, and all the children’s eyes brightened as a beautiful white spider drooped down from the ceiling, countless gold and silver webs filling the ceiling. “You all look so cute, I just want to eat you all up!”
“Mama Lumina!”
“Mother Lumi!”
The children’s nervous atmosphere shattered as the four daughters of Lumina all hopped off her back and slipped down to the floor.
“Phew! Vinea, Velvet, Asmodea… It’s okay, I can take it from here, so just have so alone ti with your children.” Lumina’s eyes fluttered slowly as she transford into a puff of golden mist, taking on her humanoid form.
Her eyes drooped half-closed as if she were sleeping, but this just added to her sensual atmosphere.
“You look tired.” Velvet tilted her head while picking up Varian, who ca close when she appeared. “I’ll have to leave soon, my babies.” Nyx and Varian looked up at their mother with shiny eyes.
“Are you going to see dad?”
“Will father be coming ho soon?”
Their questions made her snort, her lips twitching as she sighed to herself. “Right now your dad is trying to save Uncle Brando.”
Lith and the other children all listened while sitting on comfortable chairs. They adored having so many powerful mothers, but the most important was their dad. He would always teleport to the empire each night and kiss their heads before sleep.
“Dad… well, I think he might visit you at night, if you sleep together, he might even read you a pleasant story.” Velvet’s violet eyes shifted across the expectant children as she bit her lip, just hoping that he’d co ho to keep this promise.
‘Sorry, baby… I just don’t like seeing them look so sad.’
“Haha, Sister Velvet is so soft-hearted, despite acting so tough.” Asmodea chuckled while holding Seris gently. Velvet always tried to treat all the children like her own, which impressed even Serena.
After the children cald down, the head maid, Gretel, and the nannies all appeared, prepared to help with the next six months. Even Anna, the children’s playmate, got summoned.
“Do you think we’ll end up fighting, sister?” Vinea asked Asmodea as they watched the children eating together on a large table.
“I think so. Serena’s never been so scary before.”
“True…” Velvet joined the conversation. “She was like the eldest sister who could sort all our fights and issues out without a battle. But today, the mont that fool spoke, she seed to be unable to hold back.”
“What do you expect? To Serena and … that man our beloved husband is more important than anything else. Except maybe our cute children with him of course.”
Lumina closed her eyes, “but in tis like this… isn’t she who we need?”
Soon after this event, Serena gained a new nickna used amongst the wives.
Battle Empress.
