Chapter 26 - Hell

A tutor of the Lust Demon Royal Lineage started by the first Archdemon stood before two students.

A bright crimson red hair with arms, and a tar brown skinned girl with a natural blue hair colour.

The latter not having six arms like the former.

You could even say that they were both outliers.

"Maple, please stop what you're doing and listen to the lecture." The strict tutor pushed up his glasses.

The redhead stopped messing around with her six arms reluctantly. Choosing to revert into her normal Succubus form. Without the six arms, Maple seemed like a cute girl with a hint of innocence.

"And Edith, don't promote such bad behaviour. Act like an older sister." These words shocked the girl.

Making her roll her eyes.

The bright blue haired girl didn't seem to care about appearances. Only about her own gains.

"Now… Hmmm, let's start with the basics." The royal tutor stood before them and asked himself:

"What exactly is 'Mana'?"

Then he answered his own question with:

"It is 'the power to alter life'."

He continued to monologue as the two listened.

"I say to alter 'life', not reality. Mere mortals like us cannot even begin to grasp reality itself."

"However, it is possible to alter any manner of life."

"Even if the medium no longer seems alive."

"Then another question is: What can be considered as true 'Magic'?" The wise tutor lifted up a finger.

"It is a way to influence life through three main activation conditions. Which are the Attributed Mana used as an origin point, the techniques it flows through to gain purpose, and desire."

"Now, what happened when I focus Evil Mana to my fingertip? Nothing. It simply glows silently."

"Then what if I continue by adding a function? Tell it what exactly I'm expecting from it?" He asked.

"Poison Fire." They looked at his finger to see that nothing happened, but then he moved it away.

There was a lit candle on his table, and he seemingly touched the flame with his Mana.

The red flame turned purple.

The candle stick started to quickly shorten after the change. Almost like the wax had weakened.

He clicked his finger, and the enchantment had worn off easily. Returning the flame to normal.

"Then what if I want to create fire rather than poison it? I'd need the relevant Attribute of the Mana to succeed. Without it, things would end up like this." He lifted his finger again and spoke:

"Fire." His single word was heard, but not was not followed. The energy in his fingertip stayed.

"I'd need a Fire Origin to complete this. How would you two solve this problem?" He asked the girls.

Knowing the answer already.

"Sacrifice a wyvern's blood." Maple thought about fighting a fire creature and completing the task.

"Swallow a source of Fire Mana yourself, or use an external item. Like one with a nice Flaming Ruby."

"Valid answers, but I liked Edith's method more. A little spending instead of risking your life." There was no reproach in his eyes upon hearing a demon princess wanted to use luxuries instead of game.

She blushed at the acknowledgement.

Maple looked at her sister and shrugged.

Starting to mumble under her breath about the unfairness of it all. That she wasn't a maniac.

Lesser Dragons such as Draconians and Wyverns existed in every world, not not necessarily hunted.

At the very least, the military state of Lust Demons weren't averse to any Mystics or Lesser Species.

The tutor continued his demonstration:

"That was the most basic method. Now let's try it without words as an activation condition." The man with glasses spoke nothing. His hand drawing a rune written in the language of demons in the air.

Again, nothing had activated again. This result only serving to annoy one his students further.

Maple had a question: "What's the point of this?"

"Of what?" The tutor looked at her indignant face.

Not understanding what she meant.

Only that his demonstration would be useful to her.

"We all have a proper magic system we learn from the ground up. Only lesser creatures like humans need tricks like swallowing resources." To her, it was an unimaginable waste of good ingredients.

Why would she want to simply 'generate' flames?

"Maple, why do you think nothing happened when I didn't have the right Attribute of Mana?" The tutor asked while showing a glowing finger of magical power instead. He didn't mind her proactiveness.

"Duh, you already answered your own question right there! Not the right Attribute. Without it, you can't control the elements-" Just as she spoke those words, she saw a change in his finger.

It started off turning red, then lit on fire as if ignited by fuel. A pained expression appeared on the tutor's face. When the fire was put out by him, it revealed a burnt finger where he'd focused Mana.

He grabbed a handkerchief and wrapped it up.

"How did you do that?" What he'd just did broke her understanding of Non-Attribute Magic.

It didn't make any sense…!

"I amplified the heat in my finger until it ignited into a flame." The tutor held finger and waited a bit.

When his natural regeneration had completed its job, he revealed his hand to show he was alright.

Bending it to show his nerves weren't damaged.

"Why did you risk yourself?" Maple grumbled.

She might have sounded harsh, but she didn't hate their tutor. He was good at completing his role.

A necessary part of their Fistlust Family.

"I wanted to show you that 'Magic' is limitless. It is formed of our very Life Energy, and can interact with other forms of life. Regardless of the methods you both use as Dual Sin Royal Lineages, you must always remember this." Their tutor made this clear.

His eyes holding hints of worry and anxiety from knowing this would be the last time they'd meet.

He watched them hatch from their eggs as wise young adults, and saw them mature into ladies.

Demons didn't have any childhoods, after all.

They weren't empty beings like Humans or had a innate 'Nurturing' quality like Elves of old did.

They were simply born into existence as themselves. With no need to form an identity.

Thanks to the blue screens they knew as Gaia's Wisdom, it became easier to know who they were.

The only thing their parents gave them besides lumps of Mana was their name. It was the last step.

Something that completed their existence.

The two dual horned demon girls wore revealing outfits. There wasn't much of a reason for this.

It was simply standard affair for more humanoid goblins and Sin Demons to show off their looks.

A similar practice was followed around Hell.

Though each place to different extents.

Not everyone had sexual organs. After all, Demons didn't have sex to reproduce their own kind.

'Demon Eggs' had nothing to do with female Demons. They were simply a mask many chose.

The two beautiful girls, who hatched at the same time, looked at each other's similar features.

A reason why they pretended to be twins.

From their mansion's balcony, they looked at the strange frozen sky that changed a lot recently.

Around a week ago, they were sent a letter by an important person to enter the Imperial Palace.

The home of the Lust Archdemon they loved.

It was an order they didn't want to refuse, and could not unless they wanted to rebel against 'her'.

The two of them turned to leave.

Maple and Edith gave one last visit to their mother before leaving for good. Never to come back.

They peeked from the door to the bedroom.

"Hah~ Ah~!" Countless moans could be heard from the room. They saw a figure being held down.

A total of six strong arms from their father pinned down her hands and feet. The last two groped her.

Kneading and plucking to his heart's content.

Even though their kids had barged in, their Asura father continued to work on their mother's body.

Thrusting into her more eagerly.

"We're going to go now." Maple had told them, but the two people there paid no attention whatsoever.

It was as usual.

How many years had it been since they had watched this scene? This heavy addiction to sex?

It was an ordinary story among Lust Demons. No less than one in every couple turned out like them.

A pure Asura like their father having reproductive organs was a rare trait. It what devoured their mom. The endless stamina of a Wrath Demon meant that their mother would enjoy it all forever.

The taste of their father.

The two Sin Demons never asked for affection, but their hearts felt lonely while living in this mansion.

Only other adopted family ever cared for them.

Regardless, they were filial daughters.

"May the Evil God bless your union." They made an upside down prayer sign towards their hips.

Looking strange to an onlooker. At least, if that onlooker happened to be a human from Earth.

A magic-powered skeleton carriage pulled up.

The white boned horse neighed at them.

They had expectations because of knowing who they were going to meet. Being more than a ruler.

There was a strong relationship they had.

…..

….

..

.

When they arrived the Imperial Palace at the centre of the military state, new servants welcomed them.

Leading them to the main hall and throne room.

When the doors opened, they were greeted with the exact same face of their mother on the throne.

If they hadn't known beforehand, one of them might had thought this demon also had a twin.

"We greet Lord Asmodeus." They lowered their heads. Not wanting to get on her bad side.

"Now now… That's not the right title." The Lust Archdemon leaned forward to greet them right.

Eagerly awaiting their words.

"Greetings, 'Mother'." The two twins spoke in unison. Their words holding a trace of sincerity.

After all, their mother being bodied by their father at home and the 'Queen' here were the same.

Not just from their looks.

This would be the start to their encounter with a monstrous person that would 'liberate' them.

Their lives had continued on as usual.
