Chapter 2.7
Levi concentrated all the Blessing she had honed and polished during her training into the longsword she was holding.
If she wasted the attack opportunity Demian had gone to the trouble of creating, this time she would definitely make the front page of the newspapers over a debate about her abilities.
Strengthening her resolve, she ran through the thick Demonic Energy and plunged the longsword into the torso of the snake-like demon.
Thwack—!
A bizarre sensation, as if slicing through jelly made of pitch-black mucus with a knife.
At the same time, the demon, unable to withstand the strike, disappeared from sight with a pop sound, like a balloon bursting.
Demonic Energy so thick it was suffocating swept over Demian and Levi’s bodies.
‘Ugh……. Did we kill it?’
For now, it was true that the demon had disappeared from before her eyes. All that filled the surroundings was a sticky, hot energy.
Using her Blessing to confirm that fact once more, Levi put down her longsword and immediately headed toward Demian.
“Are you alright, Your Highness?”
“…….”
“I’ll call for someone. Just a moment…….”
However, Levi couldn’t get out the door.
It was because the locking magic Demian had cast over this entire space had malfunctioned, making the barrier even thicker.
“Lord Demian?”
Levi called him again, feeling suspicious, but Demian lowered his head deeply and said nothing.
In fact, he was not in a state where he could think normally right now.
‘My body, why…….’
Usually, Demonic Energy disappears once its master is killed, so he had hurriedly struck it with lightning, but perhaps because it was a strong entity suspected of being Transcendent-grade or higher, the bastard’s Demonic Energy still affected his body.
Since inhaling the Demonic Energy of that snake-like thing, his entire body felt like it was boiling hot, and his waist was stiff and aching.
Demian, who had been exceptionally hot-blooded since passing through puberty, knew exactly what kind of desire this heat was caused by.
‘Damn it, this is a perfect situation to be misunderstood as a pervert who gets hard at the drop of a hat.’
With every breath he took, it felt as if he were becoming a beast with only instincts remaining. His mind was a mess because of the impulses surging up.
Furthermore, as he realized that what had appeared in his quarters was a Lust-type demon, there was one more thing he was worried about.
It was a guess based on information he had heard in Gillian’s <Demonology> class.
“And demons find and occupy the bodies of humans who have the same nature as themselves. For example, a Lust Demon with a lewd nature will look for and linger around the bodies of corrupt and promiscuous humans.”
‘Could the reason that snake bastard appeared specifically here be because of me?’
Because I’ve been having nothing but hopelessly dark and filthy thoughts for the past few days?
While his head was throbbing, Demian recognized that his reason was gradually becoming clouded.
If he were to lose his mind after being attacked by a demon that arouses lust, it was obvious what he would end up doing.
“Levi Heron. I’m fine, so leave.”
And naturally, Levi couldn’t do that.
“Your Highness. I’m sorry, but the locking magic you cast has malfunctioned, so I cannot leave.”
“What?”
Demian tried to move his fingertips to release the locking magic.
But it seemed the magic circle had been completely destroyed after being exposed to the powerful mana lightning he himself had unleashed.
“…….”
It was ridiculous that he couldn’t fix the magic circle he had made himself because his head was dizzy with carnal lust.
To show such a pathetic sight in front of a woman who was the Sword of the Empire and who had an unrequited love for Frid, of all people.
Since he had been feeling proud of Levi as he watched her training to her limit to become stronger recently, he felt like a hopeless lecher for revealing lust in front of her.
Of course, Levi Heron, who was looking at him, would be thinking the same.
‘I shouldn’t let any strange rumors start in high society.’
For example, that the 1st Prince, who pretends to be upright, is actually so promiscuous that he attracts a Transcendent-grade Lust Demon.
Even in a situation where his mind was filling with desire, Demian thought that he must prevent that one thing at least.
“Levi Heron. As you surely know from hearing it, I don’t have any holy power to resist Demonic Energy.”
“…….”
“So, get away on your own. I won’t hold you accountable for this incident.”
Levi rolled her eyes and examined Demian. No matter how she looked at it, Demian was not in a state where he could release the locking magic.
He also seemed to have recognized that his state, having been hit by Demonic Energy, was not normal, as he turned his head to hide his face, but he couldn’t hide the tips of his ears, which had turned red to the very end from the rising heat.
‘For a possessive, high-stamina man to be hit by a demon that turns people into beasts, of all things.’
Judging that calling for someone outside was the best option, Levi approached the window.
However, perhaps demons had appeared at the picnic outside as well, because she could see the Holy Knights who were nearby running frantically toward the western garden.
“It’s a demon outbreak! There’s no need to panic, respond calmly!”
Even if one of them tried to check the tea house, it wouldn’t be easy to enter since the locking magic Demian had cast was broken.
‘What should I do.’
