Chapter 704: A Brilliance Hidden within Creeping Dark
Atop a huge mountaintop, an eviscerated dragon corpse lay between the ashy rocks covered in snow, sleet and blood.
A woman of unmatched beauty stood beside that corpse, the entire continent reflected in her large, enchantingly golden eyes. She quietly adjusted her kimono, flicking back her long, silky red hair, which fluttered in the morning breeze.
“So, this is the Demon Empire…”
The mont she spoke, a pink mist slipped from her moist lips. It danced like a living creature, forming countless threads that penetrated the dragon’s corpse. Serpent heads grew from the tips, devouring their way inside the beast’s flesh and organs.
‘I really, wanted to fight that interesting man again, but Ein said I can’t make too much trouble, how annoying.’
“What a bitch!”
After complaining, she glanced back at the corpse and narrowed her gaze into slits. The mont she glared, a golden shimr flashed from her eyes, and her voice echoed through the skies despite her lips not moving.
「Authority of Lust Activate. Inferior beast, obey my command, and rise!」
Funf’s fair skin shimred in the sunlight, as the dark blue dragon behind her started convulsing. Its scales cracked, before pink veins pulsed beneath the beast’s flesh and gradually painted the entire dragon’s body pink.
Despite being the weakest Arbiter, that also ant many of the emotions a mortal used to live remained clear. ‘If I attack the empire, that man~ that delicious and powerful man will co to fight .’ Her fingers slipped along her dress, stroking and caressing as her pale cheeks turned deep pink.
“This ti, I won’t go easy on you~ my mission isn’t just to observe anymore, kukuku!”
「Dragon, kneel for . We are heading to that big city!」
With the wave of her hand and another pulse of golden light, the dragon’s regenerated body lowered its neck beside Funf, who glanced back at the mainland one last ti before hopping onto the dragon’s back with her long, muscular legs.
“I wonder how strong the won whom he holds dear might be~ can they endure my illusion like him… I cannot wait.”
Funf stomped on the dragon, shattering several of its scales into dust, yet it still took flight.
On the back of a dragon, in the middle of the air, she danced. Holding a strange blade, slightly curved, with delicate bells attached to the hilt.
Jingle!
Ah, if only mortality could see this divine and enchanting dance.

anwhile, several thousand miles from the mountains where the dragon fell. Vinea, Levia and Erika all knelt side by side, while panting and soaked in sweat.
“Damn…”
“Why is she so strong!?”
“Ngh…!”
Vinea, Levia and Erika complained in sequence, their fingers bloody and blistered, while the canyon they used to train burned with a black and violet fla which wreaked havoc on the landscape.
‘These girl’s are almost there.’
Velvet stood in her black dragon-scale armour, her eyes narrowed with thin slit pupils like an actual dragon. She wanted to give the won a hint about what allowed her to reach Rank Two. ‘But Serena told it’s not good to tell them too much…’
Thud!
A massive halberd slamd into the dirt, splitting the three apart.
Initially, she fought with fists, her unique fire and lightning magic and her original body enhancent magic.
However, she now held a giant, black halberd, the shape of the head similar to Asmodeus’s Blood Reaper. In fact, that’s precisely what she based her weapon on. “Do you know what I can summon this magical weapon suddenly?”
“N-No… it’s really strong.” Leviathan pouted while turning away.
Woosh!
Clang!
With a fierce squall of wind, Velvet’s halberd smashed into Levia’s rapidly summoned shield.
“What the hell are you doing!?”
Despite Levia’s protest, Velvet just stared at her fellow rod sister. “Do you not understand, that shield, your spear… where or what do you think they are?”
‘This much is alright, right, Serena?’
Velvet didn’t want to bully or hurt her sisters. She loved and doted on these girls to the point she’d stopped sleeping with Asmodeus, in order to let them heal their ntal wounds with him at night. “Think.”
“Huek….”
She shifted her gaze to the other two, who both watched Levia and Velvet’s weapons with stern gazes. Erika seed to have guessed sothing as she held her swords, then nodded to herself. A mont later she closed her eyes and crossed her legs as if in so kind of ditation or extre focus.
‘That’s it… I am sure that you can learn it. Erika’s love and devotion to our darling is so genuine and pure.’
[You’re working hard, Sister Velvet]
‘Not at all, Eldest Sister, Serena!’
The mont she reached Rank Two and almost touched upon Rank Three, Velvet often spoke with both Lumina and Serena using telepathy. Although she was too shy to contact Asmodeus, she wanted to fully stabilise herself at Rank Three before then.
[Normally, awakening their soul weapons would be much easier… but because we’re entwined so closely with our dear husband, both physically and spiritually. It ans that the reason we seek strength is related to him, or our family.]
‘I know…’
[Take so ti to rest, my cute little sister. Be proud that you can manifest that form for 20 hours straight. Because it’s sothing neither Asmodeus nor I can do.]
Velvet closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Serena contacted her, which she realised. To push the girls to their limits also ant that Velvet’s divine core was burning to its limit every day, every hour, with little ti to fully rest or recover.
Fzzzzzt, Hssssh!
The violet flas and her halberd dispersed into ashes and flowed back into Velvet’s body from around them. Once a small do that barely filled a fraction of the valley, it grew to the size of the entire basin with a month of constant training to the limit of her physical and divine self.
Vinea watched Erika, and then even Leviathan, who suddenly held her shield on her lap and focused quietly. As fast as the flas vanished, so did all sound. Velvet watched the three sisters she had bonded deeply with over the past two months.
‘May I give them a slight pointer with my energy?’
[Of course… I just didn’t want things to go wrong. You’ve done well, Velvet.]
Velvet’s dry lips curled into a faint smile. She closed the ntal link with Serena and sat on the sizzling black rock, which burned from her dragon’s breath. ‘Ah, this heat feels like when he’s holding tightly….’
“To think soone my age would fall for a man so deeply…” She mused. “No, let’s focus.”
She stopped thinking about Asmodeus and extended both hands, letting thin threads of purple aura slip from each fingertip, most heading towards Vinea, who struggled the most, the others bolstering the slight divine aura of both Levia and Erika.
‘To think we ca this far without his help…’
In the past, Velvet and the other wives all lanted their weakness and inability to keep up with Asmodeus. Although their power increased during sex, and his deep energy would linger inside them and slowly develop, empower and enhance their bodies over ti with training and efforts…
It was the first ti that they discovered a path.
A path to grow stronger even without their beloved husbands’ help, and it made them so happy.
However, not everyone could grow the sa way, while Alice, Sariel and Riel could grow stronger with ditation and knowledge.
Ciela, Vinea, Velvet and the others who were more combat-focused needed to develop through combat, struggles and arduous training that could only be gained by fighting soone much stronger to the utmost limits.
‘Well, that’s why I am pouring myself into this…’
She glanced down at her arms, covered in burns and scars from overusing her powers, although she could heal them instantly. Velvet stubbornly had one desire. ‘I will reach Rank Three, then et Asmodeus… then after showing him my growth. I’ll heal myself while we copulate for an entire week!’
“Ungh… sothing….strange…” Vinea’s body shimred with a faint light… her hands burned with magic that she didn’t cast.
‘Oh?’
A weapon started forming. At first, it was a pale white mist… different from Velvet, Levia or Erika. The shimr of the white blade solidified as it beca larger, sharper and ford a massive greatsword with the colours of both Asmodeus and Grigor.
‘I see, this cute girl still carries affection for her holand, good.’
A blade close to 170cm, with a 30cm grip. It was pure white, with delicate roses and vines engraved into the blade, which resembled Asmodea’s magic, but white. The hilt was black, with a heart-shaped poml.
“To think a demon empress would create a holy sword…” Velvet snickered as she quickly focused all her aura onto Vinea, who began to struggle. The mont her sword ford, she was already past the point of return.
[Oh my!? I sensed a strange divine pulse… is our little sister about to peak?]
‘Shhh! I’m focusing.’
[Kukuku, the other two seem close… Our husband will be pretty surprised. I’m going to prepare a feast. Oh, the children will be so happy!]
