Chapter 23 – True L.u.s.t

*Roar*

Mama tigress didn’t like it when other humans appeared, and one ran towards them. Still lying on Lucien’s side, It roared to threaten the arriving humans.

But then the tigress felt Lucien’s hand on its head and calmed down.

“Easy, Catie, they are friends.”

“Catie!?”

The girls were shocked that the tigress would calm down and start rubbing its head on Lucien’s belly with just a few words.

Does it mean he had tamed the tigress while he was lying injured on the floor? It’s so unbelievable… what did he have to make everyone like him so fast? Was he made of candy?

Mia managed to get closer to Lucien after he patted the tigress. It now didn’t want to protect only the cub but Lucien too.

Mama tigress went through a tough time and was just fine because of him, so It felt that the best way was to follow the strange man, who smelled so good.

That loyalty instinct was, as Anne said, a characteristic of the Moon Tigers. So Mama tigress already considered Itself as Lucien’s companion.

Mia was so worried about Lucien that she started checking his entire body and applying an ointment that she took out of her space ring.

While Mia was taking care of Lucien, Marie and Anne also approached, and the tigress got up and went towards Gerard, who was passed out but still alive.

The tigress was not yet fully healed, but it was already much better. It approached Gerard, sniffed him, and then looked at Lucien.

Mama tigress was chased by Gerard for a long time and was very angry with him. But it remembered that Lucien had defeated him and is smart not to steal its companion’s prey without his permission.

Lucien didn’t know why, but he could understand the feeling of mama tigress from its eyes. He didn’t know what had happened, but he did know that it didn’t like Gerard.

He wanted to torture the captain for a while, but it felt right to let the tigress take its revenge, so he nodded at it.

Mama tigress also understood that Lucien had given his permission. Then it also nodded slightly at him before it roared and started to bite Gerard’s face very slowly.

“AAAHHHHHHH!?!?!”

Gerard was passed out, but he woke up when mama tigress’ teeth started to spike through his helmet and slowly enter his skull.

While the tigress continued to deform his head, the pain was terrible, and Gerard kept screaming. But he could do no more because his body did not respond to his commands.

He could only move his head in despair, but it didn’t last long under the vicious attacks of mama tigress. After Gerard stopped screaming, the tigress ripped his deformed head off and threw it away from his body.

It was a brutal scene, and both the girls and the little tigress didn’t look, but Lucien didn’t miss a second of the beautiful show. He thought it couldn’t be better and had thoughts of giving his future enemies to the wild mama tigress.

Mama tigress could feel Lucien’s proud look and returned to him to receive his pats as a reward. And he did not deny affection to his good companion.

“You’re really adorable.”

Lucien told to the girls how the fight ended, and mother-daughter tigress appeared. Next, Marie took a black armor and clothes out of her magic backpack for him to put on. She couldn’t continue to see him n.a.k.e.d. It was so big that she found herself sometimes staring.

They realized that the mine was safe now, and Marie said she came here on a mission to check the mine. Lucien was still recovering, so Marie and Anne went to check the mine depths while Lucien, the tigresses, and Mia stayed.

Mia wasted no time and started looting the bodies. In one of them, she found her dagger; Lucien saw it and can’t help but thank her.

He knew that if she hadn’t come and used explosives, he couldn’t defeat more than thirty strong soldiers like that, and he would be dead now.

“Mia… Thanks for coming. Without you, I wouldn’t have made it.”

Mia liked Lucien’s gratitude, but she thought it was wrong for him to thank her for coming; after all, that should be obvious.

“Did you think I wouldn’t come for you after what we did?”

Lucien could say that he knew, but in fact, he could have doubts because they met very recently.

“I will not lie… I was not sure. But that was my mistake…”

Mia also felt that their relationship was just so recently and didn’t blame him for not having complete confidence in her. She liked his sincerity and hoped for a better relationship soon.

“Yes, it was your mistake. How do you plan to make it up to me?”

Lucien liked how Mia was teasing him. He liked this girl more and more and loves how she’s sometimes shy but sometimes daring.

“I promise to make up for you at night…”

Mia can’t help but blush. She always thought she was firm mentally, but he was messing with her feelings very quickly. She stopped looting and approached him slowly.

Lucien, still sitting on the floor, faced her coming towards him and was surprised when she bent down and kissed him.

It was a quick kiss, and she immediately backed away with a serious expression.

“I’ll never leave you behind again. Do the same for me, okay?”

Lucien was touched by Mia’s words. He didn’t blame her for leaving the mine collapsing because he wanted it, but he couldn’t deny that her loyalty impressed him.

He tried to answer, but she closed his lips with another quick kiss as she took a silver ring out of her pocket and gave it to him.

“This is the leader’s storage ring.”

Since Lucien had defeated the soldiers, Mia thought he should have all the loot. He didn’t think so, because it came out that she had helped him a lot. But the storage ring was something that existed in his world, and he thought it was essential to have one now.

“And keep it too… It seems to give luck to you.”

After Mia handed the Ring with the soldiers’ loot, she also handed over her red dagger. Lucien didn’t know, but this was Mia’s favorite dagger given to her by her mother.

Mia knew that he fought twice with her dagger and felt good, knowing that he carried something from her. Something that could make him think of her…

She wanted him to think of her just as she was thinking of him… Thinking of what they did in the bath… Mia tried to stop those naughty thoughts, but she was not succeeding… and the fact that Lucien was still n.a.k.e.d did not help at all.

Lucien held tightly to the dagger, which he already knew well while giving Mia a warm look. But then he felt something in his body.

The feeling of improvement in his senses and strength increased again. Lucien could feel his wounds heal faster, but he was not doing anything l.u.s.tful…

“L.u.s.t?!”

L.u.s.t did not expect things to go so fast. She slept for a while, and he has come this far.

“Women’s feelings for you greatly increase the pleasure they can feel. Each woman can give you an amount of power with the more pleasure you feel together, so if you only have s.e.x to become strong, the increase will not be very significant, but…”

“If the woman feels more and more affection for you, she will have more and more l.u.s.tful thoughts about you. Your body is still absorbing the power that came from Sophia because she is very much in love with you.”

“Now, look at Mia’s flushed face. She is clearly thinking about dirty things.”

Lucien looked at Mia, and she really was blushing as she continued to stare at him.

“So, the better my relationship with her, the more power I gain?”

“Yes, but the more power you gain, the more your body gets stronger, making the increase less significant. So you have to make more and more women look like Mia and Sophia.”

“Another important issue is that the better a woman’s natural talent is, the more power she can give you. And you benefit from their natural talent attribute by increasing your affinity for that attribute.”

“That makes you improve your magic and magical defense according to the main attribute of your women. But I don’t know why your body can’t use magic even after gaining an affinity for Sophia’s life attribute and Mia’s wind.”

Lucien can’t help but be confused. He felt no connection with those attributes that L.u.s.t spoke of.

“Are you sure that I received these attributes affinities?”

L.u.s.t could see every part of Lucien’s body, and she was sure she saw traces of the life and wind attribute all over his body.

“Yes, I’m sure. But I can’t understand why you can’t feel it. Perhaps something is very wrong with your body preventing you from accessing that mana.”

“…”

Lucien heard most of his life as he was useless for not having talent or be able to use magic, so more than anyone knew there was something wrong with his body.

Not everyone was born with magical affinities, but it’s possible to increase a person’s affinity with mystic medicines and magic treasures as Evil King did with his sisters. But he was never able to absorb mana from any source.

Now L.u.s.t said that wind and life mana were within his body, but he couldn’t feel anything…

“Don’t think negatively. Look around; your blood is all over the floor. You were just a little while ago with a spear going through your chest, but now you barely have any more wounds.”

“The mana of life that runs through your body is acting to increase your regeneration greatly, so whatever is wrong with your body only prevents you from accessing that mana, but it still works.”

Lucien took a look at his body, and it looked almost perfect. He was still dirty and covered in blood, but his wounds were almost completely healed as if it never existed.

He felt that the power of L.u.s.t was just ridiculous. With only Sophia and Mia, he had already improved that much. It would be very easy to get strong quickly… But then he can’t help thinking that it shouldn’t be that simple.

“L.u.s.t, your power seems very unimaginable, but…”

L.u.s.t couldn’t help but speak in an upset tone about unpleasant memories.

“My previous hosts only thought of their own pleasure and f.u.c.k.i.e.d every woman they saw, so at first, they even gained a little strength, but then they succ.u.mbed quickly…”

“I tried even a female host, but she also failed to please others… The other six great demons also failed their hosts many times…”

Lucien couldn’t deny that some things made sense. If he was connected to the demon of l.u.s.t, he would have not only to feel l.u.s.t but also cause it.

“L.u.s.t, we can do this. You just have to point the way, and I will follow. Don’t think about the past because I’m not like your old hosts…”

“I don’t want to brag, but look at how I left Mia with just a few minutes of a bath… So I think I’m good enough to… Will I be called a demon of L.u.s.t too?”

L.u.s.t wanted to believe that she wouldn’t fail this time. Lucien looked much better than her previous hosts, but she couldn’t help but fear.

After all, Lucien would have to do all the work and give women pleasure while she could only stay inside him because her body was made up of demonic energy and was not her real body…

The demonic contract was very complicated, as the host would have to become like the demon. But she couldn’t do much more than share her power with him.

But she couldn’t help but hope for Lucien… as he said, it didn’t take more than an hour for him to make Mia fall in love with him. So she would have to trust him to be…

“Idiot! I am already the demon of L.u.s.t. If you do really well, you will be the first, so I will have to think of a new name… How about L.u.s.t Knight?”
