Lust Knight

After a long lovemaking session with Helena and Oya, Lucien had to stop when the girls' minds and bodies could no longer handle so much demonic energy.

The benefits for Helena were far more than they could have expected, and not only did she become something different from anything else, but she also got much stronger than she ever was.

No longer feeling weak and sick, she is back to her original power level, the third layer of the Immortal Realm. However, her real strength is far greater than that, as are all of Lucien's wives.

Yet, she has a long way to changing her faster age progression. As Sloth explained, only if she keeps getting Lucien's energies, especially his life mana, will she really get rid of that curse.

Now, she sleeps side by side with Oya in Lucien's big bed while her body converts his energies into her own power, making her even stronger.

Mama tigress also experienced great improvements. By having received so much pleasure and energy from Lucien, she reached the Earth Realm. Not only did her strength, speed, and senses get much better, but her soul also changed significantly.

Oya feels that something has awakened within her, particularly in her soul. But she doesn't exactly know what that is or how to controls that power. In any case, she feels much stronger, which makes her happy as it allows her to fight more alongside Lucien.

And like the girls, Lucien also got much stronger. Although he didn't have all his wives with him at that time to maximize the amount of power generated, the fact that Helena's original power level was so high was enough for him to advance an entire layer.

Now, at the peak of Earth Realm's fourth layer, he feels his strength, speed, and senses much better, as well as his soul getting stronger. Of course, he also managed to replenish his spatial mana, but he's still far from being able to use any new ability from Helena.

After a quick look at the sleeping girls, Lucien leaves his bedroom and tells Lust he's ready. She quickly reappears in front of him and falls.

He quickly caught her in his arms, preventing her from falling to the floor. He can see that she can barely keep her clothes as her demonic energy is very low.

Yet, he's worried she's pushed herself so hard and quickly asks. "Lust, are you alright???"

She smiles lovingly at him as she caresses his arms. "My body has been destroyed many times, so my mind is exhausted... I need to spend some time inside your soul to recover."

Lucien feels so lucky to have Lust with him. He knows he couldn't go on without her, and even with Pride, whom he feels more and more similar to, he knows he wouldn't have the same support he has with Lust.

He caresses her face tenderly and kisses her lips. "Just get some rest, my love."

Despite wanting so much just to be in Lucien's arms, receiving his kisses and caresses like that, Lust has to go back to his soul to rest and regain demonic energy.

"Love you..." She smiles as her body disappears.

Lucien can't help but be upset that the Leviathan forced Lust into that state. In fact, he is furious right now. The energies inside him get aroused, especially the small amount of energy he received from Donna and Wrath.

His eyes glow mostly purple, but with golden, gray, green, and now red sparkles as well. He quickly reopens the portal and exits in the middle of that mystical storm, right in front of the giant snake.

"Oh, you're back, little dragon..." The Leviathan makes a surprised expression, not at Lucien's return, but because he's so much stronger now, half an hour after she beat him to near death's door.

Lucien doesn't think twice about summoning the golden naginata. The weapon appears in his right hand, glowing like a golden sun, and he immediately feels even more powerful.

"..." He doesn't say anything, but it's evident that he's angry and wants to fight, which makes the Leviathan even more confused.

"You're really like s..." The giant snake's eyes sparkle. "Impressive indeed. But don't be a silly boy; you can't do anything now."

"That's what we're going to see." He comments and then flaps his wings so hard, flying towards the creature with extreme speed. If he was fast like someone from the Immortal Realm late stages before, now he's like someone from Its peak.

The Leviathan can't get enough of being surprised by Lucien; he seems increasingly quirky and astonishingly talented on a level that seems to surpass even Aylin easily. And that makes the creature rethink whether devouring him will actually be more beneficial to it or that another option is genuine.

But even though Lucien has the speed of someone from the peak Immortal Realm, that isn't even close to the real power of that giant snake. In fact, reaching the Cosmic Realm takes a hundred times more effort than it took to get from Zero Realm to the ninth layer of the Immortal Realm.

The Leviathan sees Lucien's movements in slow motion and starts moving her tail towards him. Lightning falls from the sky as rainwater hits their bodies; the ocean waves angrily crash into each other while time seems to slow down for both of them.

A second feels like a minute as she stares into Lucien's sparkling eyes. His confident and determined expression is identical to Aylin's when she fought the Leviathan momy, and at that moment, an instinctive fear reappears in the heart of the ancient creature.

The old wound is open, and she feels anger, fear, pain... Her mother's last cry echoes in her mind, making her lose herself in her own mind.

*Blink*

But before her tail hits Lucien, he teleports, surprising the creature by reappearing in front of her face. Wasting no time, he appears already attacking with his golden naginata, trying to pierce those big green eyes.

The naginata shines even brighter as he attacks with both hands and all his strength. "HAAAAAAA!!!"

Even without it being Lucien's intention, he not only reopens the wound in the Leviathan's heart but also attacks at that exact spot, where Aylin landed the lethal blow on the creature's mother.

He sees fear reflected in her eyes as the tip of the naginata is about to touch her eye. However, that fear comes from the death of her mother and not from the current situation.

Lucien isn't Aylin and doesn't have the same strength as her in her peak. Even using all his energies in that attack, he feels like the golden naginata is hitting an iron plate and does no damage to the Leviathan's eye.

A green and blue light appears in front of his face, and a powerful wave of energy hits his body, destroying his armor and knocking him back hundreds of meters.

"Humph!" The giant snake makes a mocking expression and tilts her head towards the sky while closing her eyes.

Her whole body glows blue and green while the sky and sea seem to get even furious. Dark clouds move over Lucien at incredible speed and glow with energy.

*CRRAAAAAAAACK-BOOOOOM!!!*

Lightning bolts start to fall towards his body. He notices that and is forced to use the teleport ability to avoid being hit. But other bolts follow him.

*Blink* *Blink* *Blink* *Blink* *Blink*

Lucien teleports several times, but with that high energy consumption, he quickly runs out of Spatial Mana and is hit by a lightning bolt.

*Bam*

He is thrown towards the sea but is then hit by another bolt and more in a row, being thrown side to side before his wounded body falls into the water.

His blood runs from several injuries, some really serious or rather fatal to almost everyone. His golden bones are visible in many places, while he can't even feel pain properly.

And before he can move, the water comes alive around him, transforming into big arms that lift his body in front of the Leviathan again.

The creature brings her face closer to his body while gazing into his eyes. "Do you like suffering that much, little dragon? I don't mind doing it... actually, I'm quite enjoying this."

Although Lucien's energies are quickly regenerating his body, that damage makes him dizzy. He struggles not to pass out as he looks into the creature's eyes. "What do you want from me?!?!"

"Didn't I already tell it to you?" She asks sarcastically. "I can't get revenge on that hateful woman, but I'm fine with unleashing my anger on you."

"Lie!" He exclaims as the golden glow does not leave his eyes, even though he is so hurt.

The Leviathan makes a strange expression before starting to laugh. "Hahaha... why would I lie to you, idiot boy? In this world, nothing can hurt me; nothing can go against my will; my power is absolute here!"

Lucien smiles as blood runs down his face. "More lies... I can see that even you don't believe in your words. I don't care about your power, but I need to know what you want from me! You're testing me and not torturing me."

She wants to smile but tries to put on a threatening expression as she opens her mouth and shows her big sharp fangs. "If I kill you now, will you believe me?"

"Maybe..." He smiles teasingly. "Why do not you try it?"

'Lucien!! What the hell are you doing?!?!' Lust exclaims in his mind. Even though she was resting inside his soul, she didn't stop watching his movements out of concern.

'It's alright; I know what I'm doing; she won't kill me.' He quickly responds, but Lust only gets more confused as she doesn't understand what is in his mind.

But Leviathan doesn't seem to act as Lucien expects. She makes a furious expression and quickly makes a biting motion towards him.

"NOOOO!!!" Despite being very weak still, Lust materializes her body in front of Lucien and tries to push him away from the water hands.

*Clang*

The Leviathan's teeth click together, making a loud metallic sound echo behind Lust. She can even feel the creature's hot breath swaying her hair.

"You can't kill me, can you?" Lucien asks Leviathan as he hugs Lust.

The Leviathan smiles. "You really shouldn't be so sure of that."

"I guess so..." Lucien comments and then uses the rest of his Spatial Mana to get rid of the water hands and reappears right in front of the portal he opens, returning to the purple world with Lust.

As soon as they disappear, the Leviathan makes a thoughtful expression. [How did he find out so quickly??? I can't be such a bad actress, right?]

Needing time to reflect on everything that happened, the creature dives deep into the sea. Even though being several miles below the surface, she can easily notice when Lucien comes back from the purple world and reaches him within seconds.

But she also knows that he will need at least another half hour to recover from those injuries and recover his energy.
