Chapter 14: Duchess Keraxis (1)
After the Demonic Advent Ritual ended, Duchess Keraxis returned to her palace.
Curses still rang in her ears.
"Sigh."
It was an absurd incident, but few demons had heard it since the ritual had been so chaotic.
Although they had diminished compared to before, dimensional gates were still dimensional gates. They distorted dimensions and space, created a passage to other worlds, generated wild fluctuations in magical power, and made a massive noise.
Unless they were considerably powerful demons, they wouldn't be able to hear the terminal noise… Of course, the demon nobles and their attendants were also present at the ritual site.
"Truly, out of control."
She sighed.
Such a child was a first.
"A wayward child. Too hard to understand."
He didn't listen.
He had even gotten angry with her. One of her children was angry with her… it had never happened before. It was unthinkable.
Kyuse had no absolute loyalty.
Occasionally, children born into the slave class would attempt to escape, but it wasn't because they genuinely wished for rebellion. They would show blind loyalty again and return when they saw her face and heard her speak.
Even if they distanced themselves, their loyalty would be restored when they got closer again.
They were completely trustworthy beings.
Her only allies in this demon realm.
Her children were supposed to be such beings.
"…The first time."
Her first experience.
That was why she was concerned. She had never had a child who would rebel against her, so she was even more concerned.
Why?
Why could this child defy her? It was perplexing. Was it because Kyuse was special? Because he hadn't learned the language and had no common sense?
She had considered it insignificant, but it might be a serious matter.
What if more children like him were born?
What if her control over her children weakened?
Her only absolute advantage would then be reduced. It was something she needed to investigate… As she thought about it, she felt a suffocating feeling in her chest.
"To speak out against this mama like that."
It was painful.
To Kyuse, who was inexperienced and immature, she had come to meet him one last time, even though he was angry. To think she would hear such words. He wasn't really her child? Did he get that angry?
Should she have consoled him more and taken care of him?
"…No."
Of course not.
Although Kyuse's anger still lingered in her heart… that didn't mean she would give him special treatment.
If he had no ability, he would be abandoned.
If Kyuse had been a little stronger, he would have been sent to the front lines. Even now, countless of her children were fighting against angels, other demons, and monsters on the battlefields. Troops were always needed. She allocated and consumed the lives of her children according to necessity.
That was natural.
In the demon realm, no matter who you were, you always had to fight. Sending a child who lacked abilities to the Advent Ritual? It could be considered the most appropriate use.
Weak demons would be eliminated.
Even if they were her children, that fact wouldn't change. Demons were creatures of struggle. Only the strong demons survived.
Keraxis had lived that way.
Thinking of her children consumed and dying on the battlefield made her heart ache. They were so pitiful. However, there was no room for decisions driven by emotion. She was a demon noble of the Bellacruel Duchy. She was the highest authority in the Bellacruel Duchy, an absolute ruler.
The moment she prioritized emotions, all her children in the Duchy would be in danger. That could never happen.
"…"
Keraxis's gaze lowered.
-Stroke.
She strokes her own lower belly.
She realizes that she was commanding harsh things from her children. But even so, she surely considered them her children.
Keraxis thought so.
"Kyuse… Good luck."
'Show me some results.'
'Prove yourself useful to this mother.'
That was what she was thinking.
Boom.
The emergency crystal ball she kept nearby burst into flames.
"Come in."
Boom!
The flames from the crystal ball transformed into a fiery demon. The shapeshifting demon dropped to one knee and bowed its head.
"What happened?"
"Lady Duchess! Just as General Karuti predicted, the Great Heavenly Host's Supernova beasts have been deployed! The supernova beasts that are currently on the front lines have destroyed the hidden phoenix stones and captured the information!"
"Hmph."
It was only a matter of time before it was destroyed once its location was discovered. Since it was on the front lines, it had to go.
"What about the damage on the angel side?"
"Aside from the archangels that were used as fuel for the Supernova… None!"
The messenger then posted a detailed report.
"Thank you for your service. You may return home."
"Yes!"
The Archangels.
Radical, violent principlists. As soon as they took control of the Celestial Realm, they launched an all-out war against the Demon Realm, showing their disdain for dominating the Middle Realm.
Like the Demon Realm, the Celestial Realm was unable to interfere much with the Middle Realm, but the destruction of the Phoenix Stones would change that.
They would be able to mimic the rituals of the demons. And the beings of the Middle Realm had long been favorable to the angels.
The current demons could not repair the dimensional passages. However, with the help of the Middle Realm, the Celestials would certainly be able to.
"…Boom."
Duke Ozvalka's failure was bitter. His failure has exposed the location of the Phoenix Stone.
Ugh.
Keraxis stood up from her seat.
Her emotions stirred, though they hadn't been this chaotic for a while. She would never be able to think and act soberly in this state, so she was going to stop all her other work today.
She was going to de-stress.
Grrrr.
The clothes she wore came off as if they had a mind of their own.
A sensual body. A deadly beauty. She was only half succubus, the most beautiful race in the demon realm, but her beauty was enough to put even the succubus queen to shame.
Naked, Keraxis opened the gate to her room and immediately made her way to her bed.
"Hah… Hah…"
Her body heated up. A searing heat radiated from her lower abdomen and enveloped her entire body.
"Hmph, hmph… Ugh, ugh…!"
A flushed face.
Duchess Keraxis crawled across her spacious bed, sobbing with pleasure. Her immodestly large posterior swayed from side to side as she crawled across the bed. Her breasts bounced obscenely.
"Hmph…!"
A small moan escaped her lips at even this mild stimulation. It was because her emotions had been stirred up, and she felt more intense pleasure than usual.
"Hmph!"
Her pelvis shuddered, and her head was filled with a single thought.
Thud. Tsk.
Her juices trickled down her thighs, soaking the sheets… A moment no one could see. A moment she had never shown anyone. A moment to herself. A moment to release the instincts inherent in the succubus blood coursing through her body.
"…!"
Her fingers come into contact with her arousal, swollen with excitement. A white-hot explosion blew up in her head.
"Ah, ahhh…! Hmph!"
With each light stroke of her hand, a tingling sensation of pleasure shot through her body. Even Keraxis, a great Demon Duke, could not resist the stimulation. As her self-control faded, she gradually became a slave to her libido.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
Rubbing and squeezing without relief. Keraxis, the Bellacruel Duchess, was in the throes of pleasure, stimulating and tormenting her clit as if she were inflicting corporal punishment on herself.
"Hmph, mmmmm!"
The climax.
The soon-to-be-fatal, loud, and long pleasure indiscriminately ravaged the Duchess's arousal. Her back arched, and her whole body shuddered. The pleasure was so intense that she couldn't even moan.
"…!"
She felt it at the same time.
The eggs exploded from her ovaries during her climax, and they made their way to her uterus one by one. Once there, the tiny eggs expanded with their own pulsating magic.
"Ha!"
The pleasure was waist-deep. A pleasure that even the most powerful body of a Demon Duke could not resist.
"Come out, come out now…!"
The swollen egg slipped out, stimulating the Duchess's vagina without allowing her to climax. It was enough to drive her insane. A single egg. With an egg no bigger than a child's fist, Kerasis could no longer maintain her sanity.
"Aaah, aaah, aaah, hhhhh!"
Her beautiful, nubile body writhed in a frenzy of pleasure. Unable to control herself, she bucked her hips, soaking the bed with her gushing juices, and filled the room with the aphrodisiac scent of her skin.
A gush.
Her bursting, swollen breasts jiggled and changed shape. They rubbed against the bed as she turned over, and soon, her nipples burst with milk.
Ugh…
All the while, eggs continued to be produced. The Duchess cradled her breasts in one hand, sucking on her own nipples, while the other squeezed her clitoris, producing egg after egg.
Eggs.
Eggs created by the combination of her own ovum and pulsating magic. It was impossible to control this process. The egg was completely transformed by the vast and profound magical power of the Demon Lord. Something even she could not fully comprehend.
It was no wonder that a being born from such a deformed egg wouldn't have much in common with herself.
Eggs that were laid grew and developed as they absorbed and imbued themselves with the magic that filled the realm. The mother enchanted some eggs, but most eggs grew and hatched that way.
All the great magicians of the realm coveted this instinctive ability to create eggs. Homunculus. In the past, countless mages who wished to create the perfect homunculus had inevitably attacked her. Keraxis brutally tore them all to pieces.
Tore them apart and rip out their hearts. She destroyed their cities and laid waste to the evidence of her slaughter. It was a time when she had no power and could not afford a single defeat. She knew what would happen if she lost, so she was always excessively cruel and thus feared. Countless demons had died for aiding the mages.
And yet, she never suffered a single defeat.
Even the Demon Duke of that era had been torn apart at the hands of Keraxis.
"Gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah…! Aaah!"
The Duchess of Bellacruel.
She loved to lay eggs.
