Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

A huge humanoid frog with two long tentacles hanging from its face like a catfish stood over two metres tall. It was much larger than the other frogmen, with a small crown fixed upon his head. The monster's eyes seemed to twitch as its maw revealed a large, toothy smile.

Ryuji sprinted with all his strength. The force and momentum of his upward strike caused a loud howl. The blood axe's power grew with each step as the monster leaned down to take a bite out of Erika. He couldn't control his anger, irritation and erratic breathing after seeing Erika wounded.

He rushed forward in a berserk stake, using everything to attack.

The Berserker felt time slow as his strength, speed, and agility increased with each step before leaping towards the monster. He used the force, smashing his axe into the monster's chin. The ruby blade split its skin wide, pouring dark blue blood over his head.

Ryuji's axe penetrated the beast's jaw and shattered its many razor-sharp teeth. Time returned to normal as he dragged the axe from the creature's head, ripping it down its throat. He saw the monster fall to its knees, with blue blood spilling everywhere.

"Guuuuugugu!" the monster attempted to cry out as its gaping wound pulsed.

The next moment, Ryuji didn't focus on the beast—instead, he grabbed Erika, pulling the potion he got on the first day. Then he poured it into her mouth. "Ugh... Ghug....!" Because of shock, she seemed unable to swallow with the potion dripping from the sides of her mouth. In a moment of clarity, her blue eyes helplessly looked into his.

"Don't do this..." he said in a low voice, the demonic blood pumping inside him as his tone changed, resounding across the land of ice.

This forced him to hold Erika tightly in his arms, take another potion into his mouth, and push their lips together.

His long, blood-red tongue coiled around hers, forcing the sticky potion to the back of Erika's throat. He felt her body tense and saw her eyes widen while his powerful hands held her. Her face rested against his broad, muscular body, trying to stop her from shivering.

The clang of steel sounded. Before, a huge spear clashed with Simon's agile swordsmanship, and Paul and Sheila's chanting echoed like a duet through the area.

"Nngh!?" In a moment of clarity, she saw his actions. While from over his shoulder, arrows and purple magical lights flickered. Simon's figure fighting against a giant frog caused her to drift out of focus. Only to see Ryuji's angry yet concerned face.

Erika's throat loosened. The potion she could not swallow worked down, entering her lungs as all the other party members focused on combat. Erika coughed from the potion being pushed so forcefully down her throat. Her thin body convulsed in Ryuji's powerful embrace. She gripped onto his cold armour for strength and stared into his face with relief.

"Sheila, take care of Erika!"

Ryuji could only give a distorted smile, the anger and powerful feelings inside. Too strong for him to show a gentle face right now. Erika's eyes closed, while the wound still bled as he leapt towards the back row, avoiding a huge spear almost stabbing his neck. He thrust Erika over to Sheila, who stopped chanting.

"I'm going."

The monster's body became disgusting. The wound that bled was now sealed with ice, forming deformed crystals. Its left arm held a trident, and its right arm a rusty spear. The huge crown upon its head pulsed with dark energy while its blue skin healed with the aid of the crystals.

Ryuji did not speak as he paced towards the monster. He held his axe tight. His eyes looked for any opportunities to strike and shatter the crystals sealing its wound.

"Gugagau...!"

The monster bellowed like a whale in pain and raised its huge trident. It grasped the weapon and aimed the sharp tip towards Ryuji's heart. A howl of wind sounded before the trident shot towards Ryuji. Its sharp point ripped through the air like an arrow.

Ryuji narrowed his eyes, avoiding the thrust and angling his body to the side. As the trident passed, his axe slammed into the monster's outstretched hand, sending a bone-chilling cracking sound, like wood snapping in winter, throughout the surroundings.

The monster wailed in pain as a blast of purple lightning struck it from above. Simon's swords followed, cutting into its flank with a spinning slash. Yet the wounds continued to heal, and the monster became more deformed.

"Ryuji, we need to take the crown!"

"Ah, but this bastard knows it!"

Yumiko's body shot past Ryuji like a stone flung from a sling, her body stepping on the monster's trident before leaping off it and aiming to kick the crown away.

Ryuji's body did not pause, his axe never slowing as his legs carried him forward. He swung at the monster's leg, trying to distract it from attacking Yumiko. He also wanted to shatter the crystals that healed the beast and reveal the wound, hoping the others could deliver a final blow.

"Guaga!" The monster let out a breathy bellow of cold air.

"Yumiko!"

Instantly, dozens of sharp shards of ice exploded from his body, one penetrating Ryuji's chest, while Yumiko's agile body jumped between them, flying backwards with a slight cut on her cheek. She would have lost her life if not for her agile body and movement, dodging the attack just in time.

"Protect me... for thirty seconds," Simon said as his swords glowed with a green light, swirling with wind. He stood stationary as if charging his attack.

"Got it!"

Ryuji stepped forward, his hand tearing out the ice, used to the pain now. He could still move. Though he needed to grit his teeth, the icy cold made the wound ache. Ahead of him, the monster's leg had turned to ice. With a shout, he swung his axe hard.

"Gu... Gua... Gugagugu!" The monster trembled in pain.

However, the ice-like armour stopped Ryuji's axe, only cracking from the impact and sending his body sliding across the ground. Ryuji was about to attack again when two purple bolts of arcane magic struck the monster's legs in succession. It stumbled and dropped its trident. Then knelt with a loud bang.

Ryuji glared at the monster. He spat on the ground, trying to get rid of the awful taste in his mouth from the monster's blood and charged a ravaging blow with his full rage gauge. The ruby-red blade crackled with power.

A sickening grin spread across Ryuji's face as he stared at the kneeling creature. He raced towards it and activated a ravaging blow, swinging his axe at the ice armour covering its arm.

Like a bomb hitting a piece of ham, the axe shattered the ice, tore through its arm and lobbed it off. The next moment, a shout came from behind.

"Here I come!"

Simon's body dashed forward, running along Ryuji's back with his blades wrapped in a violent wind.

"Gale Strike!"

The moment Simon's blades struck the crown on the monster's head.

His dual strike shattered it to pieces.

A deafening screech sounded throughout the surroundings as the monster's body started undulating and bubbling. The crystals cracked as blood poured from their wounds, freezing the moment they hit the ground.

Ryuji watched with great vigilance as the monster's head lowered. Its eyes, with dirty yellow iris, looked at him with a look of hatred and disgust.

'This isn't like normal dungeon monsters... Does this thing have intelligence?'

Ryuji could feel the monster's hatred and feelings. He didn't know why, but the desperation and fear hidden behind its hatred and anger shocked him.

As if desperate to survive, the monster thrust its rusted spear at Ryuji, aiming for his heart.

"Throwing yourself on my blade, huh? If you're offering..."

Ryuji grasped the rusty spear. His grip was so powerful the weapon snapped in half while the other end spun through the air before stabbing the monster's chest with its weapon.

The soft meat and muscles inside were squishy to touch as blood on Ryuji's face. His arm penetrated deep into the chest of the monster's body.

The monster's head landed on Ryuji's shoulder and seemed to move its lips... strange words that Ryuji shouldn't understand, but the meaning and desire.

However, the monster's words caused Ryuji to feel a sense of conflict within himself.

'Why did it call me a traitor?'
