A full minute had passed since Venn swallowed the capsule of luck. Other than the humid weather under the hot sun, he couldn't sense any changes happening nor feel anything special.
"Do I have to say some magic word to activate the effect?" Venn wondered as he pats his body, checking if there was anything abnormal that had happened without him noticing.
The pill couldn't possibly be a defect right? He thought internally with a little bit of panic.
Just then, a demoness suddenly appeared seemingly out of nowhere in front of the group of guards with a panicked look on her face.
"Intruders alert! Fellow sisters, get ready to fight!"
Upon hearing the news, the demonesses that were guarding the slaves went into disarray. Several of them kept asking the messenger what she meant with grim expressions.
"There was an assasination attempt on Lord Rena! The lamia knights are engaged with the enemy right now! We need to assist them in the battle!" The demoness that arrived briefly explained the situation.
"Let's hurry!" The leader of the guards quickly responded. After getting the approval, the messenger nodded and instantly waved her hand around the space in front of her in a circular motion, chanting a series of inaudible words. Slowly, a distortion of space occurred as she finished her chant, and an oval shaped portal appeared before her; its size roughly the size of a door.
After the portal stabilized, the leader of the guards urged her subordinates to enter, leaving only a guard behind. The demons that entered the portal seem to have disappeared into thin air.
"Hey, newcomer, be sure to keep an eye on the slaves and lead them to the headquarters."
The portal immediately shrank in size and completely vanished after the leader stepped inside the portal, leaving only the slaves and one of the guards to keep watch on them.
"Did that happen because of me?" Venn was flabbergasted watching the event unfold. "What ridiculous plot armor I have."

After walking in a long line for about 10 minutes, the group led by the purple-haired demoness arrived at an entrance of a rather large building built from numerous stone blocks. Judging from the size and exquisite workmanship, Venn deduced that the building before him must be the demons' headquarter that the leader of the guards mentioned earlier.
Despite being aware of their later fate, there was no attempt of escape made by the slaves during the journey. Like obedient sheep, they followed the shepherd that reared them to the slaughterhouse, incapable of thinking for themselves.
"That's what being enslaved for 500 years does to humanity. They have been fully domesticated, just like the cats and dogs back on Earth." Venn couldn't help but sighed.
Soon, the demoness in-charge ordered the slaves to enter the headquarters, and while Venn was contemplating whether to escape in this moment of opportunity, the demoness approached him at the end of the line.
"You can return now. Remember to lay low... try to merge with the other slaves." The purple hair demoness mumbled shyly with her hands behind her back. She was the one who saved him earlier from before by stopping the lamia knight.
"Why are you so kind to me?" Venn asked. He was puzzled. "Was it because of my overpowered luck? It feels like the entire cosmos is working in my favour." He thought.
"You've forgotten about me?" The lewd looking demoness asked with a harsh tone while she reached out her hand, and grabbed Venn's balls tightly.
"Ahhh! Ahh! Y—you are Erza!" Venn exclaimed with shock as the familiar sensation hit him. Though the demoness's appearance was totally different from Erza, he could tell from her grip on his balls.
"You know my name?" Erza went back to her shy form, avoiding his gaze.
"O—Of course! C—Can you let go of my balls for now? Erza... What happened to you? You look different..." Venn tried to calm her down, he could sense her killing intent just now.
"You did this to me... I'm a lesser succubus. Unlike the others, having excess mana will make me like this. Depleting my mana will return me back to my original form." Erza told him.
"Mana?"
"That's right. Demons grow stronger by cultivating with mana. That's what the mine is for. Also, demons can consume the mana from men by taking in their sperm. That's why, before the humans mature, they are shackled with Lord Miranda's collar. That collar is to prevent them from releasing their sperm and accumulate their mana from young before they are consumed." Erza explained.
"Your sperm had a lot of mana in it..." Erza said as she licked her lips with her tongue. After that, she leaned near Venn's ear and whispered, "You're mine okay? I'll cut your dick off if you cheat on me."
Venn froze on the spot when he heard her last sentence. He couldn't believe what he just heard. He finally understood what the value 200 on Erza's pleasure meter meant. It meant that she loved him so much that she became a yandere.
