Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World-Chapter 470: The Calm before the Storm
Asmodeus awoke from a bizarre nightmare. In the dream, Serena was screaming his name, yet he acted oblivious. He watched with a smile as everything around him burned to the ground. All the work and effort to create the city went up in smoke.
Vel'Ashera became a ruin of ashes and death.
'That's what you get for dreaming.'
He muttered, staring at the ceiling with a cold expression.
His face dripped with sweat from the nightmare, his pupils shrank into a thin slit.
Sitting up from bed, Asmodeus gazed at the beautiful women hugging his abdomen, Asmodea, Alice and Vinea... their calm breath soothing his mood after that dreadful dream.
'It's funny. I don't even need sleep anymore.'
As he thought that, he realised that despite all the changes within himself. Thanks to these beautiful women, he could still keep a semblance of normal life if they didn't spend the night with him. He might have spent it gathering mana and trying to become stronger alone, though. Sleeping with his women carried a similar effect, thanks to their dual cultivation.
He stroked the smooth cheeks of Asmodea, who mumbled and snorted occasionally while leaning on his body. Then, gently placing her to the side, he cleared a path for him to climb out of bed.
'I do it because I enjoy it, not for that...'
Ever since he last saw Serena, she hadn't contacted him, nor could he get through to her. There was a static wall that he couldn't penetrate no matter what.
"I see..."
Now his nightmare made sense.
He took it to be his insecurity of Serena not responding affecting his mind.
Standing in the middle of his room, he stretched and replaced the blanket over the sleeping women, before heading to his private bath wearing only pants, the morning sun barely over the horizon as he sucked in the cool air.
A few birds chirped in the distance as he opened his bedroom window to let some air in.
The cool wind felt pleasant, making his hair sway with a relaxed expression.
'I can almost taste the salt in the air from here.'
Because the mountains contained a lot of minerals, including rock salt, there was a slight scent that reminded him of the sea. Though it smelled a little different, the mind could achieve many things.
"Phew..."
Splash!
His body sank into the searing water, his wide bath no longer a temporary one, but one built from pure white stones with beautiful vein-like patterns across the surface from the mana river.
They created this bath using rocks found at the bottom of the river; something changed the rocks to imbue them with the effect of producing small amounts of mana, which each Asmodeus used for a giant bathhouse for the demon knights, another for the warriors and of course himself.
"It feels like I am being revived!"
He washed himself with the shower before entering, and now soaking in this water made his body tingle, and mana seeped into his core, the same sensation that happened while he meditated.
It was like having his mini onsen hot spring. But with that thought, he remembered the people who were supposed to join him.
'Well, I guess they'll be up eventually.'

Today, the reinforcements from the elven forest and the beast empire would arrive, with the demon knights serving as scouts escorting the troops, so Asmodeus wanted to look his best, preparing himself with this bath.
"Excuse me!"
Clack!
"Who?"
The private door opened, surprising, but Asmodeus just shifted his gaze and saw who entered with a smile.
He leaned against the back wall with his legs spread and a proud look on his face. "I see. Are you the new maid?" A slight snicker in his voice as the blonde with blue eyes also covered her mouth and giggled.
"Yes, master I am here to help wash your body."
"Excellent!"
With a broad smile, Asmodeus beckoned her to come forward with a finger before pointing at the shower.
"Clean up and then come in."
He pulled himself onto the edge of the bath, dripping with steaming water, letting his body cool in the morning air.
"Wow."
She nodded and followed his orders without complaint, removing her clothes before she turned the shower on and covering her body in a lathered soap.
With gentle and measured steps, she approached the bath and slipped behind him, her limbs wrapping around his back and spreading her soft, warm chest against his back as her arms wrapped around his front, her hands slipping over his muscular chest, groping and massaging him.
"You have an amazing body."
"I know."
"Master, you're so arrogant."
"Of course. Only the best for my favourite maid."
"Hmm, you're so silly."
A gentle kiss touched his neck, followed by another and another before Asmodeus caught her cheek with his hand, caressing the soft flesh of her cheek with a thumb before sliding it upward toward her brow and brushing aside her golden locks.
"Erika, you are so cute today. What if I cannot hold back and end up needing another bath?"
Erika's cheeks turned a bright red, and her hands trembled on Asmodeus' chest while her heart drummed in her ears. She was excited.
"Maybe you could wash your maid the next time?"
"Oh? A cheeky maid... come here."
Asmodeus gripped Erika's thigh, which coiled around his body tightly, and then pulled her off his back, turning as she spun around like a dancer before he caught her against his body and landed on his lap, her warm skin dripping with water as she lifted her hips, looking down at the handsome man before her.
"Are you really going to do this, Master... I have other business—"
He gripped her chin, pulling her close. "What business is more important than this?" The next moment, her mind became blank, as his lips captured hers, sucking on them softly as his tongue slipped into her mouth and parted them enough for him to taste her sweet, minty fresh breath.
"Mmmn!"
Erika grabbed the back of his hair; she had planned for something like this... but the fact that he seemed able to understand how and what she wanted made her chest race. His hands slipped down her body, caressing her flesh until gripping her buttocks, sinking his fingers into her plump meat and controlling her body with his powerful arms.
With one across her back, holding the back of her neck, the other wrapped around her hips and holding her buttocks. Erika could only kiss him passionately and enjoy the sense of protection and safety this feeling provided.
"I'm going to put it in now..."
"Aha, wait... you're too rough!" Erika begged, pushing against his shoulders as Asmodeus lowered her body onto his throbbing member.
The moment it touched her soft petals and narrow entrance, she became silent and threw her head back while showing a blissful expression. Moments like this were rare, and to sneak inside, she stole a maid's outfit all for this moment.
"Hnnngh..."
Before she could finish moaning, Asmodeus' lips sealed her mouth again, kissing her while pushing against her warm body.
Asmodeus pushed her against the wall of the bath, their bodies wet with water dripping onto the floor as he thrust deeply while Erika held on with her arms her muffled sighs coming from the bathroom.
The maids who went to help serve him ended up embarrassed by the sounds and the loud voice of the demon knight commander Erika, fleeing with red faces.
In the bath, Asmodeus and Erika separated after an extensive moment of passion.
They were still connected, though he looked pleased while leaning against the edge of the tub again.
However, Erika was like jelly sitting on his lap with her back against his without power in her body and let him gently wash and clean her.
"I did say not to force yourself, little maid." He teased, brushing her soft cheek with his thumb.
She was still dazed, barely responding, before turning her head to the side and pouting at him. "Shut up..."
He just laughed, pulling her close against his body and letting out a long sigh.
She tried to pull herself off, but he held her in place, making it impossible for her to move.
Asmodeus kissed her cheek and smiled. "You were perfect."
"...!"
His words made her blush more and become unable to resist.
In a whispering tone, she responded.
"I love you..."
"..."
Asmodeus didn't reply at first because she caught him off guard.
Erika became worried when Asmodeus remained silent and stared at her. Her voice quivered as she spoke.
"D—Did I say something wrong?"
With an embarrassed laugh, he hugged her tightly, feeling ashamed of himself for making her worry.
"Not at all, I was just surprised. My little maid is talented. I love you too."

No longer after their bath, the other women seemed to have used the second bath which Asmodeus created for the women he spent the night with as sometimes bathing separately after a night of sex was best.
The women also enjoyed having a private space for themselves with various scents and oils, which he stored in his item ring from their travels.
"Asmodeus, you look... radiant. Who did you sleep with?" Alice asked in a monotone voice, her eyes narrowed as she walked with a slight limp after the night before.
"Hahaha." He just laughed it off while she gazed at Erika, who looked around with a beaming smile.
"I see, It's Eri who made you like this." Asmodea nodded to herself.
"Good, we worried you might have put your hands on the maids if we weren't careful." Vinea muttered with redder cheeks.
'If only they knew...' Asmodeus looked at Erika, who met his gaze, and they both chuckled.
It was a calm and quiet day, and soon the reinforcements would arrive.
"Everyone... these days might not continue for much longer, be prepared."
However, Asmodeus only said this as a formality.
If he knew the things that might happen in the near future he might have never said such a thing and enjoyed the peace even more.
