After obtaining a set of witches and a prison, it was time to chat with his newest capture, Yukina Himeragi. Maybe this time, he can speak with her instead of screaming at him, 'senpai' this and 'senpai' that.
At the same time, it was a fantastic time for his newest witches to practise their new powers.
Natsuki tried hard to hide her excitement as this was the first time she could leave the island in her real body and not as an illusion.
They returned to the island a short flight later and landed in a Viking village.
"...What in the world is this? I sense… a ritual." Emma, with wide eyes, looked around. It was some sort of large-scale ritual. But there is nothing there! There are no circles no magical materials, yet the energy is still gathering.
"This is power I acquired from a famous Viking explorer. In simple terms, it's the lifestyle of a Viking. It means raiding, exploring, and pillaging are supernatural.
What you see is growing and preparations for the next adventure." After explaining what was happening, he motioned for them to follow him.
A short distance away, Raynor smiled, seeing Yukina Himeragi tied to a tree.
"Himeragi!" Natsuki swiftly walked over and removed the ropes from her mouth.
"Natsuki-sensei?" The girl was confused for a second; she didn't know who it was, so she guessed. She never expected to see someone who looked just like an adult Natsuki!
"Yes, that's me. Let me help you out of the binds."
The black-haired witch of the Void started to remove the binds, but at that moment, an axe ended up next to her neck.
"I wouldn't do that if I was you." A Viking said while shaking his head.
"He is right, you know. The girl is spoils of war. My spoils of war." Raynor said that as he walked over.
"She is my student; you can't treat her like some object!" Natsuki frowned. She thought she would be more angry than that.
'The vampire physiology is warping my mind!' A cold realisation washed over her as she felt a cold chill pass through her being.
"It doesn't matter who she is, Natsuki. She fought me and tried to harm me. That means when battle concludes, her life is mine."
"That's barbaric!"
"And who said I am trying to win the biggest doormat awards?" He scoffed at her.
"...I am not saying that!" The witch walked over and grabbed his hand before placing it between her breasts.
"Just this once, do it for me? Please?"
Aya and the sisters behind Raynor scoffed from amusement.
"Oh? Are you asking for favours already? We haven't even married yet." The Storm King joked in response to her request.
The witch blushed from shame as she looked away from him for a second. Honestly, she was feeling weak and useless, which was creating a disgusting knot in her gut.
"...I…well, I promise to follow your commands."
"Sensei, don't promise anything! He killed Akatsuki-senpai!" Yukina angrily snapped as she saw how Natsuki was behaving.
"Who?" Raynor pretended not to know who was that.
"The 4th Progenitor you killed." Natsuki clarified.
"Oh, that doormat, was he your toy, little girl? You kept him on a leash?" The Storm King decided to mess with the girl.
"Huh? N-No, what are you talking about? He was my senior! And I was sent over to observe him!" She clarified with a stuttering voice, A very common trait from a sheltered girl with no previous experience behaving around boys.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but no proper supernatural organisation would send a little girl to observe and monitor a Progenitor. My gut feeling, the very same feeling which made me a Godslayer, is telling me that you were sent as a sacrifice, something akin to a set-up for you to be one of the Progenitor's bed warmers."
When Raynor said that, Natsuki grimaced as she knew the truth.
"N-No! You are making that up!" Yukina stuttered even more as she started connecting her dots but was unwilling to finish that train of thought.
"Please, use at least 1% of your brain for logic, not emotion, and you will understand." He sighed before pondering what to do with her.
"Say, can I wrap her in a package box and send her back to request a hotter girl?" Raynor asked Natsuki.
"...You can't be serious." The witch of the void replied with disbelief.
"What do you mean? Do you think I will keep her? She is a brat. I can dispose of her in the most natural way." Thunder rumbled above them.
"Or request a hotter girl. Because no matter what I do, she won't let me be. The same goes for her organisation." He clarified how it will be.
No matter what he does, the organisation behind Yukina won't stand idle.
Natsuki frowned.
"He is right; the fourth Progenitor with augmented powers destroys the balance we have in the world," Aya agreed. Now, she is excited to know how the world's organisations will behave with such a beast as the new fourth Progenitor. The world will become an exciting place to watch.
"..."
Natsuki didn't know how to respond to this. However, seeing the witches and Raynor just looking at her with amusement, she knew they were having fun with this whole situation!
"Fine, you can send her back… No, let me do this. I will deal with this myself." The Witch of The Void told him. She wants to remove Yukina from his hands. Something he easily can agree with since he doesn't care about the girl.
"Sure. But, I do request an alternative someone." After agreeing, he looked at Yukina, who looked like she had swallowed a lemon. Is she truly not worth it? Not attractive enough!?
She hated this guy, but now she wanted to prove to him that she was good!
Raynor knew that he had planted seeds of doubt in this girl. Now, she would have a goal, a drive to get better.
Honestly, he is starting to behave like a legitimate Demon King.
~~~
With Natsuki returning Yukina to Itogami island and the witch sisters going to Russia to rebuild their magical forest, it only left Aya.
The Witch of Notaria looked at him very curiously. The evil Princess-like beauty didn't know how to behave around him.
For one, she is like a researcher who wants to experiment with her new powers and do other 'things'. Since Raynor altered her to be obsessed with bloodline, Aya now wonders what kind of children she can have with him.
The beauty is very obsessed, so the changes swiftly settle in her.
So fast that she didn't even have a chance to question them.
"So what now~~~" She walked over to his side and leaned into his hand.
Her purple eyes are gleaming with curiosity.
"I shall pillage powers from the prisoners I have in the Barrier prison."
"...Oh, I completely forgot that there were more people in that place."
"Yes, there. It would seem I will get a Werewolf transformation," Raynor commented as he saw prisoners in their cells. There were some werewolves, some witches, vampires, and other questionable things.
"I see. I wish to offer you my expertise. I can make you grimoires and guardians if you wish." She told him with a hopeful voice. The beauty is eager to please him in any way. It's a complete change from the previous hardcore evil witch.
Well, she is still very dangerous and deadly, but now she has priorities, not just a goal.
"That is a wonderful suggestion. I wonder if we could use this expertise to make Heretic Gods descend into my world. It would be something else if I could make beings like Morrigan and Hacate appear."
When she heard that, her eyes gleamed even more; those beings were gods of magic!
Just thinking about what kind of powers they could offer makes her all giddy.
"Good~ then I shall start working on making some grimoires right away~"
Before she could walk away, she was pulled into his hands.
"You can do that after we cuddle~"
Her eyes widened slightly as her brain didn't understand what 'cuddle' meant. For someone who is 90% work (magic studies, world domination) and 10% (to live and necessities), the concept of cuddling with a guy is not even in the vocabulary, not to mention what it means.
Before she could respond, they ended up sitting on a tree stump, and then she ended up on his lap.
"...Oh, I see. So it's like a form of intimacy between a man and a woman." She responded very research-y.
"Indeed, since you are mine now~ such a thing should be expected."
Instead of replying, she slightly leaned into his chest and placed her head on it.
The moment he wrapped his hands around her, the witch trembled slightly.
'It's warm, it feels strangely…good?'
"What do you think?" He whispered into her ear.
"...It's interesting, but I feel that it is a waste of time," Aya replied honestly, as she felt that there was no need to lie to him, not that she wanted to lie, as lying felt that she would suffer in the long run.
"I see. You are someone who is driven and uses every moment of her life working on something."
She slowly nodded to his words.
"But that's the thing, we exist outside the normal flow of time. That means we can't 'waste time' because it's something we have more than anything."
Something clicked in her at that moment, but Raynor was not done.
"Besides, you are not wasting time, as you are bonding with your Progenitor."
He then softly whispered the last part.
"After all, a satisfied Progenitor is more willing to play with whatever you have planned."
The moment he finished, a wicked smile appeared on her lips. He was right. With everything he said!
"Yes, many thanks for clarifying; I haven't realised that yet." She then lifted her head and looked at him, her purple eyes gleaming with desire.
"Good girl. We should practise certain things before I return to my work."
With all clear, the witch brought her face closer and started to kiss him by instinct. She had never done this before, but it felt right. Part of her immediately understood that she does have the instinct to do such things.
She never bothered with this before, but now she is intrigued by other possibilities. After all, she is a witch who is curious about what kind of powers she could achieve or unlock.
After a few minutes of kissing, she pulled back and placed her fingers on her mouth.
"Interesting."
Instead of saying anything, his hands went to her waist and pulled her for another kiss, and this time, she was eager instead of simply being curious.
~~~
When Raynor opened his eyes, he stood in the middle of the prison.
"So that's how it works." He mumbled as he realised how to move in and out from his Olympus dimension.
Before he could ponder more, a pair of hands bugged him from behind.
"You finally decided to visit me~," A seductive dark voice said from behind.
"You can visit me anytime you want, Athena," Raynor replied without turning around.
"As if I will be around simple mortals."
The Storm King chuckled as he turned around and looked at the beauty.
He quickly noticed that she was a little bit different.
His hands went to her cheeks and lips before opening her mouth and checking her teeth.
"Those are vampire fangs." He was somewhat surprised. Did his transition impact everything? Or was it because he used Cain's power to rewire a few things?
"That definition is not wrong, but it is not right either. I would say that I am a Demon Goddess now and not a Vampire Goddess."
"Well, that makes sense; after all, it's not traditional cliche development. This world has a different meaning regarding what is a vampire."
He nodded at her words before looking away. It's time to drain the remaining prisoners and figure out what to do with those powers.
