Chapter 143 - Bloodline Inheritances (2/2)
Lucien only managed to kiss L.u.s.t for a few seconds before he was in terrible pain again. This time it was his back.
He knelt on the floor. "Arrrgh!! Shit!!! Why again?!?!"
"LUCIEN!!!" Marie, Anne, and Lena yelled again.
They were thinking about how strange this situation is, but seeing Lucien in pain made it clear that they didn’t care about his changes and still loved him very much.
L.u.s.t quickly went behind Lucien and saw black spots behind his shoulders. They were similar to the ones on his forehead as if bones were growing out of his shoulders.
She couldn’t help exclaiming it in a happy and expectant tone. "WINGS!! These bones will be the base of your wings. Only high demons have wings. It’s amazing!!"
Lucien wanted to be happy with the news that he would have wings, but he had to use every ounce of willpower to resist the pain. Those bones were growing from inside his body and breaking Its way out.
The girls were very concerned with him, and Marie questioned L.u.s.t. "Does every demon have to go through this pain?"
L.u.s.t responded in a proud tone. "I never heard of a demon who did not pass out from the pain of the growth of horns and wings. Lucien has help from his life mana. Still, the pain must be excruciating."
Anne held Lucien’s face and started kissing his lips. He smiled and started kissing her. That gave him a little relief, but the pain was still terrible.
There was not much to do about that, but the pain soon began to decrease when the bones in his back stopped growing.
Lucien ran a hand behind his shoulders and felt the bones sticking out of his body. Those bones are the bases where his wings would grow in the future, and it is approximately fist size with the same darkened tone of his skin.
Like his horns, the bones in his back also opened his skin, which made Lucien’s forehead and his back bloody.
When Lucien’s pain seems to have decreased, the girls quickly started to clean his body with towels that they took from their storage rings.
"I’m fine now." Lucien stood up and smiled at the girls, but he was still in pain all over his body.
The girls quickly hugged him. Anne still had tears running down her n.a.k.e.d body just as Marie and Lena also had wet faces from tears.
L.u.s.t clearly didn’t like to see Lucien in pain, but that pain is a ritual that most demons went through. It is proof that he has a strong demonic inheritance, and his potential is even more incredible than she could have imagined.
The demonic ability to make soul pacts only worked with other races because the demonic soul is flawed. It didn’t work with half-demons either, but whatever Lucien is, L.u.s.t had no difficulty forming a soul pact with him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Maybe it’s because of the bloody rose. Yes... Maybe your demonic heritage is very small, but the bloody rose has improved it." L.u.s.t has several unanswered questions in her mind.
In any case, L.u.s.t was very curious about Lucien’s mysterious mother. She is sure that there is nothing special about his father.
The girls continued to hug him, and Anne spoke while Lucien tried to wipe her tears. "It scared me a lot, Lucien... I thought you were going to die. I don’t want to feel like that again."
Lucien kissed Anne’s forehead while also stroking Marie and Lena’s heads. "Unforeseen events can always happen. We have to learn to overcome anything together."
The girls just keep hugging him tightly and smelling him. Despite the horns and strange bones in his back, Lucien is still Lucien, and the girls continue to love him as their only man.
L.u.s.t really wants to completely analyze Lucien’s body. She wants to find out everything about his transformation and what advantages it gave them, but she was also curious about the changes in the purple world, which made her think out loud...
"Perhaps these changes in the purple world are due to your demonic heritage... I don’t know how it can be connected, but it certainly has something to do with that."
Lucien looked at the big flying rocks. They couldn’t see the ones that are far away very clearly and also couldn’t see what was on those that are right above them.
"Get dressed, let’s try to explore." From what L.u.s.t explained, there should be no one in the purple world as it is a separate place of their soul in another dimension.
Still, it seemed strange to walk around n.a.k.e.d. Of course, Lucien was more concerned with the girls exposing their bodies than himself.
While the girls took clothes off their storage rings and got dressed, Lucien did the same.
He couldn’t help feeling a little discomfort in the bones on his back when he put on his shirt. But besides that, he felt that his shirt was even tighter than it should be.
L.u.s.t approached Lucien and began to caress his chest and shoulders. "You became 3 cm taller. Your shoulders also got a little wider."
Then she kissed his shoulder and lips. "I like it. You look even more attractive... These impressive muscles easily make me wet."
Lucien took her chin and quickly kissed and bit her lips. "I’m glad you like it. But will I grow more when I reach other realms? I don’t want to be giant or anything like that."
L.u.s.t laughed and made holes in Lucien’s shirt in the area where the base of his wings are, to make it a little more comfortable for him.
"The physical changes are mainly in the Mortal Realm. Maybe there will be some in the Earth Realm too, but they will be much more important."
"Don’t worry, you may still grow a few centimeters, but you won’t become more than 2 meters tall."
Lucien noticed that his whole body got a little bigger after the appearance of his horns and bones in the back, so he couldn’t help but worry about something and looked down.
L.u.s.t realized that and couldn’t help commenting. "Oh? I was so focused on your horns before, so I even thought about it... It got bigger too... Hahaha... I can’t wait to try."
He had already put on a pair of pants so the girls couldn’t see it, but L.u.s.t could analyze every cell in Lucien’s body.
Lucien provocatively smiled at L.u.s.t. "You will have as much of it as you want later, but now tell me about the portals here."
L.u.s.t pouted as she stroked Lucien’s c.o.c.k over his pants. "The portals, yes..."
"Well, you just have to imagine a place and stimulate your demonic energy, then the portal will open. It is simple but not very easy to learn quickly."
She held out her hand in one direction, and the purple cloud circled around her fingers, so a portal started to appear in front of them.
It looked like a big door, about four meters high and two meters wide. Its edges looked like it’s made of purple stone, while the middle looked like purple water.
L.u.s.t moved her hand again, and the portal was gone. Lucien understood that it would not be easy, but in fact, he found it quite natural to control his demonic energy in the girls, so it would not be so hard either.
He pointed his hand in one direction and tried to focus his demonic energy.
L.u.s.t concentrated on his body to analyze the whole process and saw that he was managing to stimulate his demonic energy easily.
To L.u.s.t’s surprise, Lucien did manage to bring his demonic energy out of his fingers, but...
"What the hell is that?" She couldn’t help but exclaim when she saw a golden glow around Lucien’s purple cloud of demonic energy.
Lucien was feeling especially good with that purple cloud with a golden glow circling around his fingers. He felt a very familiar sensation with that cloud as if it had been with him all his life.
He focused his mind and imagined the area in front of him and the top of one of the big rocks in the air.
The purple cloud left his fingers and went in front of him while expanding and materializing a portal just like it did with L.u.s.t.
But Lucien’s portal was quite different from L.u.s.t’s, this one is bigger, being approximately six meters high and three meters wide.
Its edges are of a purple and gold material, while the middle also looked like golden purple water.
At the top of the portal was a symbol that Lucien had never seen, but strangely he could clearly understand what was written and read it out loud.
"Home... What does that mean?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmL.u.s.t was staring at the portal, but when she heard Lucien’s words, she looked at him with a confused expression. "Which home?"
Then Lucien pointed to the symbol at the top of the portal. "That symbol. Doesn’t that mean home?"
L.u.s.t then made the most complex expression that Lucien had ever seen. She looked shocked first, then confused, then worried, and at last... Maybe happy?
Lucien was about to ask what was going on when Marie spoke. "Lucien, I only see three rectangles symbols that I’ve never seen before."
Then Lena made a confused expression. "Wait! Aren’t they two stars? Why do I see two stars?"
Lucien had an idea of what was going on. He looked at Anne, and she quickly responded.
"I see six small symbols that I have no idea what they are. Maybe letters? I’ve never seen anything like it."
He looked at L.u.s.t again. "I only see one symbol. It seems like a word, and I’m somehow sure it means home. I don’t know how, but when I look at it, the word home comes to my mind naturally."
L.u.s.t spoke in a calm tone. "You shouldn’t be able to read that. Everyone sees different symbols because that is a secret from the dragon race. It is called draconic runes, and only royal dragons can read it."
"Is there no other way to read? Maybe guess? It could just be a coincidence. Perhaps because of the bloody rose." Lucien thought out loud.
L.u.s.t shook her head. "Several superior and medium races have been trying to decipher the mysteries like that for thousands of years. Still, you are the first demon to make a soul contract with another demon and read draconic runes."
She then made a concerned expression. "You know... This also should only be inherited directly from the parents..."
"But now I think there must be another way to pass these lineages. Still, I can’t think of anyone else who should know about that besides your..."
Lucien couldn’t deny that things are becoming increasingly mysterious, and his mother seemed more and more suspicious. Still, he’s sure she would never do anything to harm him.
"Thinking a lot and speculating will get us nowhere. Should we enter the portal? You said there shouldn’t be others here, but maybe there are a lot of things that we don’t know."
L.u.s.t understood Lucien’s concern, but it still seemed impossible to have dangers there as it is literally a space within their souls.
"I don’t think we are going to take any risks, but we can just pass our heads through it and look at what’s on the other side. Portals here are much simpler than the one we came from the other dimension."
Lucien wasted no time and approached the golden portal. He held out his hand and passed it through the watery texture. He felt no discomfort, and his hand could go in and out without problems.
Then he passed his head and watched the other side for a few seconds before stepping back and looking at the girls with a smile on his face.
"Home... That word seems to describe it perfectly."
