"All of you step the fuck back and don't interfere with my concentration," I demanded before pressing against the sturdy film covering my abdomen.
It was as dense and as hard as a mountain compressed into a singular two-dimensional plane, yet I still thought I had the power in me to possibly help myself.
The bloodlust that shot from my hand almost drilled its way through until I could finally form a hook on the side that scraped my sensitive intestines.
"Tch…"
The pain wasn't nearly as bad as everything I had experienced, but it began to rise rapidly as I pulled the hook up and felt the thin film begin to tear the skin off my stomach.
"Do you need anything? Anything to bite down on?" The incubus beside me asked, and with an expressionless gaze, I just turned towards him.
"Get me a mana potion,"
"Get him a mana potion," The incubus relayed my order, and soon I was chugging two large vials of blue liquid that easily slid down my throat.
I had been running low on mana reserves for quite some time now, so this really helped me out… I didn't need a towel to help negate the pain, but some kind of boost energy.
"Need help pulling it out?" Cy asked as he stood next to me, but upon feeling my glare shoot onto him, he quickly shut up, the order traveling through the room.
My muscles bulged as I activated my buffs, and soon, the thin film came tearing off, the skin on the very outside of my torso coming off with it.
Blood began to spill but injecting mana into [Miasma Infused Presence] was more than enough to help regenerate the outer layer of skin.
"Are you good? Not in any pain?" The incubus asked, and as the hole in my stomach began to close up, I let out a long breath that caused a string of bloody air to escape from my lungs.
I blew it into the incubi's face and smirked lightly.
"I'll take that as a yes… now, we'll handle that panel since there is a chance the demon lord could track that down once he's calmed down…."

"Um, yes? That is my name,"
"I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving us… but we can take care of the panel," Cy muttered lightly, with Aisa and Findir taking a step back.
"Hm? What are you doing?" The incubus asked as he saw Cy's arm being enveloped in a strange and guttural darkness.
"[Gluttony of the Abyss]," Cy muttered.
As this pure black arm moved towards the film, Cy's hand began to drip with a strange acidic liquid that melted the marble below.
"Hey, you, help me out of here before I get consumed with this damn thing," I looked at the succubus, who wasn't happy at our arrival, but only after getting an okay from Jack the incubus did she finally help me up and onto another couch parallel to the one I was laying on.
Cy's arm began to swirl and swirl until a pair of draconic jaws had formed on the very end, opening up and then biting down on the thin magical film as if it was just a piece of bread.
"What the fuck," I heard one of the succubi mutter from the surrounding crowd, and as they all took a step away, the jaws at the end of Cy's arm began to expand.
It bit down onto the thin film once again, causing it to crack and unleash a spiral of darkness up Cy's arm and into his shoulder.
"Need help?" Findir asked.
"Nope… I got it," Cy muttered calmly before grabbing the shoulder that had been enveloped in darkness with his free hand and pouring in even more mana.
It flowed through his arm until the pair of jaws on the end finally bit through the thin magical film, which then shattered into hundreds of shards.
Gulp… Gulp… Gulp…
The pair of jaws swallowed the magical material as if it was nothing, and soon Cy let out a light burp that he blew in Aisa's direction.
"Yuck! Asshole!" Aisa shouted before kicking him in the back, and as he slowly folded into himself, the darkness spiraling around his arm disappeared.
He soon regained his balance and was chased around the room by Aisa, running and screaming as if they were kids.
Findir just looked at me with a deadpan expression as if he was so done with this situation already, and I couldn't help but lightly chuckle.
"Alright, so what's the next step?" Jack asked, sitting down on the couch parallel to me.
"Well, I think I get the gist of your little club here… it's to take down the demon lord, right? Cause if so, I wouldn't mind working with you," I smiled and set out my hand towards the incubus in front of me.
He was immediately joyous at how I had already reached out to him to help him out, and as I swirled my legs into a sitting position, Jack got up from the couch and clapped his hand before shaking it.
He brought me in for a slight hug as he smiled joyously with excitement, but my smile slowly traveled to the three siblings just across the room.
Their cold and almost predatory eyes lightly smiled before returning to the usual strange antics that caused some of the demons around to restrain them.
Obviously, they kept knocking things down and breaking them.
Good… Seems they understand the plan.
"I hope you don't mind if we stay here for a bit. We got nowhere else to go," I said, and the incubus joyously shouted,
"Of course! Stay here as long as you want… Just make sure you meet us at this exact same point every other day. That is when we have meetings, and that is also when we'll explain most of what we have accomplished so far,"
"Thanks…" I muttered with a light smile.
He's too kind… and even if he's being genuine, there is no way everybody else here thinks the same thing as him.
The way they call us foreigners and the way the demons in the very back of the room eye us like we were walking bombs… I could already expect some trouble.
"Hah! You're calling me ugly?! Do you know why Asmodeus took Luna and Bella!? Huh?! Well, it's cause you got no fucking sex appeal!" Cy shouted, and I let out a long groan of exhaustion as Findir handed me a glass of water.
"Oh yeah!? O-Oh yeah!? W-Well, you like a walking shit stain emo boy!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Do I gotta point out everything to a kid like you! What I'm tryna say is your ugly as shit, so don't be coming after me!" Cy shouted, and Aisa just froze there before slowly turning to me.
"I-Is that true… Orion…?" Aisa stuttered, slight tears welling up in her eyes, and as Cy looked down on her with a bit of pride, Findir slipped through the room and hooked his arm around Cy's shoulder.
"Let's have a little talk outside," He smiled through an underlying angry expression.
"Hell no. I stick by what I said…."
"*sigh*... All of you, get the fuck out! My head is pounding because of your nonsense!" I shouted, and all three of my siblings quickly left the room, Findir continuously sighing, Cy stubbornly crossing his arms, and Aisa just wailing with tears streaming down her face.
They better not be acting like this once we're adults… well, maybe you could consider us adults already since most of us have aged more than a few years.
…
The next day, I woke up on the couch and found I had been mounted by a succubus in skimpy clothing, though thankfully with my clothes were still on.
"Damn boy… you're pretty shredded underneath," The succubus licked her lips before using her tail to slowly remove my pants while her hands lifted up my shirt.
"Uh huh… Anyway, can you get off me now? I got shit to do," I muttered.
"Like what? Are you gonna go back to Asmodeus for a rematch? I doubt he'll let you go," The succubus smirked before slowly trailing her hand down my toned stomach.
"Tch… Well, I still have other things to manage," I muttered, looking over at my siblings, who had collapsed on the couch parallel to where I had been laying.
They were all collapsed on each other like they had been fighting all night.
"Do you have no sex drive? You are softer than a wet piece of bread… and I don't smell any dysfunctional disease from you… or maybe I'm just not appealing enough,"
Seeing how I was paying no attention to the succubus, she quickly climbed off and clicked her tongue, sitting on the edge of the couch.
"I don't know… you're sexy, I guess… If you wanna suck somebody dry, go after a virgin like Cy," I chuckled.
"He's not as appealing as you,"
"That's a shame then…."
