Chapter 30: Demon's Dimension (3)

"... Is there any way we can control, Albedo's powers?"

Katsu said while sitting on the bed with his legs crossed. Looking at Albedo who hugging the stuff toy of Lucias with a joyful smile on her face. Something that Atlas made for her to give her something to do while they're still trapped in this dimension.

"... Even she can't control it, what makes you think that we can?"

Miranda commented, causing Katsu to frown. Holding his head as he tried to come up with a way to force Albedo charm to activate.

"Is there... any conditions where her charm can be activated?"

Atlas asked making Miranda fall into a deep contemplation, trying to remember what her own mother taught her about the powers of a succubus.

"... If she's in danger, or experiences extreme joy, anger or sadness. Then, it would most likely activate to defend her body"

She said, making Atlas and Katsu to nod their heads in understanding. Since Albedo's charm activated yesterday when she felt that she was in danger. Especially after the demon slapped her with a considerable amount of strength.

"... Extreme sadness or joy, huh?"

Katsu muttered, trying to remember anything from his memory that could make Albedo react like that. Making her feel in danger is out of the option since they don't want their youngest to ger hurt. So the only option that they have is the latter.

"When is she really happy? Do you girls remember anything?"

Atlas asked while looking at Melissa, Luna, and Sharael who was sitting at the corner of the bed.

"... When she's with dad. That's the only time that I see her show a genuine joy"

Luna said with a light smile on her face.

"Anything else?"

Atlas asked, making the 3 sisters to look at each other before shaking their heads to the side.

"There's really nothing else. She's always cheerful and happy when she reciece any of her favourite snacks and toys, but that is not on the same level when she's with papa"

Melissa added, causing Atlas and Katsu to sigh in response. Before all of them heard Elena's voice greet them from outside.

"I'm back!! We brought home new pets for you Albedo"

Elena shouted, causing Albedo's eyes to shine before quickly running outside. Carrying the stuff toy in her embrace while her siblings followed suit. 

"Welcome back, Elena-san"

Melissa greeted as they saw 10 demons wearing a luxurious knight outfit outside the house. With their arms tied to their back. Glaring at Elena with a hateful expression on their faces.

"Let go of us you whore!!!"

The demon shouted causing the children to frown before covering Albedo's ears. Making Atlas use his [Reality Manipulation] to temporarily turn them mute.

"How about it? We capture this imperial knights while we attacked a ducal house. Impressive isn't it?"

Elena said with a proud expression on her face. All while Albedo slowly walked towards the demons with small steps. Looking at them with a curious expression on her face.

"You look ugly! But I will allow you all to become my pets so be grateful!"

She said, copying her mother's demeanour when enslaving demons with her power. Making the demons scowl at her direction.

"Hmph! Bad, you shouldn't bite your new owner"

She said with pouted cheeks while walking closer. Making her siblings run towards her to stop her but was too late.

The demons stretched out their heads to bite Albedo, but only managed to bite the stuff toy in her hands. Ripping a large portion while Albedo fell on her butt. Taken by surprise as they suddenly bite her.

"M-My doll..."

Albedo muttered as she quickly grabbed the stuff toy of Lucias with a sad expression on her face. Looking at the large bite that the demon's did on its head.

"A-Albedo?"

Miranda called out. Noticing the tears coming out of the corner of her eyes before it started pouring down her rosy cheeks. 

"Albedo, onii-chan can-"

Atlas tried to comfort her but failed as Albedo started crying loudly. Making her tears run down her face while pink aura was suddenly released from her body.

Catching Katsu and Atlas by surprise as the pink aura entered the demon's body. Making them tremble before they eyes started to turn pink, while a heart appeared in the middle of their pupils. 

"N-No way..."

Anthony muttered as he watched the demons suddenly turn from acting like a rabid dog to being an obedient servant that looked at Albedo with a guilty and worried expression on their faces.

"H-How could I do something like that to master?"

The demon who bit her stuff toy muttered in a trembling voice, causing the demon beside him to growl before biting the third eye on his head. Spitting it out beside him as he watched the knight fall on the ground, dead with grief visible in his expression. Not from dying but from making his master sad.

"... So... this is how we active her ability"

Katsu muttered, causing both Anthony and Atlas to frown since that means that they have to make their precious little sister cry to force her ability to activate.

"Somehow... I don't like where this is going"

-with Lucias-

"P-Protect the King!!!"

A royal guard shouted as he barged inside the throne room, together with the remaining royal guards that haven't been killed by the monster who invaded their kingdom.

"... I didn't expect that I left some rats running around this place... even though I was already sure that I killed everyone"

Lucias muttered, turning his back from the King that was sitting on his throne with a pale complexion. Looking at the severed head of his wife and son at ground, beneath Lucias' feet. While the walls of the throne room was covered in the blood of the nobility of his kingdom. 

Making the remaining royal guards a gruesome scene of hundreds of mutilated corpses spread on the ground. With only two person standing alive inside of the room. Lucias who was holding a bloodied sword and the King that didn't move from his throne.

"C-Capture him!!!"

The royal guards shouted as they ran towards Lucias was covered in blood. Making Lucias watch them ran towards him with an expressionless face.

"AHHHHH!!! FOR THE KING!!!"

A royal guard shouted as he swung his sword downward, causing Lucias to parry his attack with his sword before tilting it slightly while pointing the tip of the sword downward. Making the demon's sword to slide off his sword before he directly sliced his forehead in half, causing the half of his brain to fall on the ground along with a portion of his skull.

He then stepped backwards, dodging a slash aimed at his stomach before he quickly stabbed his sword on the guard's head. Covering his sword with his brain juice and blood before his corpse fell on the ground.

"You'll pay for that!!"

Another guard said as he thrusted his spear towards Lucias, making Lucias shift his body to the side before grabbing the pole of the spear. Pulling the demon towards him before he sliced the demon's head in half from his chin up to the top of his head. Splattering his blood on Lucias' already blood drenched clothes.

"ARGHHHHHHH!!!"

A demon shouted as he appeared behind Lucias thrusting his sword towards his back. Aiming to pierce through his heart, but Lucias immediately reacted by spinning his body around. Dodging the sword and repositioning himself behind the demon's back. Stabbing his hand through his chest. Making the demon growl in pain.

"... They said a demon has more than one heart..."

Lucias whispered before creating a small magic circle inside of his body. Making the demon panic in response.

"W-Wait-"

"[Explosion]"

Lucias casted, causing the demon's body to burst and explode from the inside. Making his damaged organs and blood to rain down around the room while the King watched in horror. Watching as Lucias kill the last royal guard of his kingdom.

"I'll ask again... Where did you demon's imprison my children?"

Lucias asked causing the King to grit his teeth before charging towards Lucias like a maniac. Brandishing his claws, aiming to slice Lucias with his claws. But to his surprise, Lucias suddenly dissapeared from his place as a palm suddenly blocked his vision.

"You should behave before I kill you"

Lucias said as he grabbed his head and smashed it towards the ground, causing the stone floor below them to break. Burying his face to the ground as Lucias quickly let go of his grip on his face. Delivering a knee towards his head, breaking the ground below his head to break even further due to the extreme force that Lucias placed on the attack. Breaking the demon's nose.

"You better talk, demon"

Lucias said in a cold voice as Lucias snapped his finger. Creating 4 swords above him pierced through each of the demon's limbs. Pinning him to the ground.

"You're not going to make me-"

The demon said with a provocative expression on his face, but froze as he noticed Lucias' eyes suddenly changed.

"[Evil Eyes: Fear]"

He casted, causing his entire eye to turn black. Implanting extreme fear in the demon's mind, causing the demon below him to widen his eyes as his hands suddenly trembled.

"It's a shame that I can't use [God's Eyes] to read your memories... It would've made my job much easier to do"

He muttered watching as the king beneath him to piss himself, drenching his pants with his own urine due to the effect of the [Evil Eyes]. 

"Talk"

Lucias said causing the demon to choke on his words. Opening and closing his mouth like a fish.

"Do you want me to pull one of your hearts out to make you talk?"

He said causing the demon to shake his head to the side before opening his mouth. 

"I-I don't know where they are!! I-I wasn't informed of the plan ba-"

"Good enough"

Lucias said as he shoved his hand inside of the demon's mouth. Grabbing his gums with his finger while piercing his thumb at the soft muscles on his chin. Proceeding to pull his jaw off of his head. Making the muscle on his jaw to tear as unimaginable pain assulted the demon's brain. 

"You won't be needing this anymore"

Lucias said as he completely tear his jaw off of his mouth. Leaving only his tongue that squirmed randomly below the roof of his mouth. 

"... Disgusting..."

Lucias said as he looked at his hand, covered with the demon's saliva.

"I like it more when it's covered in your blood"

He said, piercing his index and middle inside of the demon's eyes. Avoiding the third eye on its head to avoid killing him instantly.

The demon silently screamed in pain. Trying to struggle free but every time he moved. He felt the swords slice through the bones, muscles, and tissues of his limbs. Adding to the pain that he was experiencing.

Lucias then bent his finger inside of his eye sockets. Hooking his fingers on the demon's skull before he pulled it with all of his strength.

"..."

The demon tried to struggle causing the swords pinned to his arm to slice his arms half-way through. Making his arm slowly bend in an unnatural way while the flesh of his limbs slowly teared apart.

"You must drink a lot of milk, demon"

Lucias said before ripping his face off his head. Revealing his brain and the internal structure of his face. Making Lucias raise his fist in the air. Clenching it as hard as he could, before punching the demon's head at full power. Crushing him head to mush while the castle ground crumbled due to the extreme force of his punch.

The castle then collapsed, making Lucias and the corpses around him to fall from the small hill that it was built on. Falling on the small city that housed the citizen of the kingdom. But no screams was heard from the city. Only silence as Lucias stood up from the piles of debri. 

"... Next kingdom..."

He said as he started to walk down from the piles of debri. Stepping onto the street that was flooded with blood. Walking through the large piles of demon corpses around him without a single change of expression on his face. All coming from the citizens that he massacred before he barged into the royal palace. Sparing no one, causing the entire kingdom to be covered with a strange atmosphere that reeks of death.

"... Wait for dad... I promise... I'll find you all..."
