Lust Knight (Web Novel)

While Lust desperately tries to develop a plan for Lucien to get rid of the Leviathan, she also can't ignore the information they're getting from the mysterious creature.

After hearing how Aylin used the Golden Naginata to increase her strength to the point that she could defeat such a creature alone, Lust shares her thoughts with Lucien.

'The Naginata! That must be that power Aylin spoke of in the memories you saw. It must be the secret of her power... Dragons have the most powerful soul of the universe, so she must have discovered something about her own soul weapon.' She explains.

'Hmm...' Lucien thinks Lust's words make sense, so he reflects on that while facing the Leviathan.

The ancient creature just hasn't attacked him yet because it finds him interesting, but once it loses interest, he has no choice but to flee to the Purple World. Yet, he wants to give Eve and the girls more time to back far away, or the giant snake could go after them to force him to face her.

The creature's eyes sparkle as she looks at Lucien. "You don't seem to know much about your ancestor... I wonder if your people don't accept someone like you."

"Would that make your revenge less enjoyable?" He quickly asks.

"Hahahaha..." The creature bizarrely laughs as thunder continues to echo. "That would be too good for you, right? But no, little dragon, you can't escape it."

Then the Leviathan begins to fly around Lucien, surrounding him with her body. "My mom just got that strong by devouring other strong creatures, and even though I've done the same to get to my current power level, it's been over a thousand years since I've felt closer to the next layer."

He smiles. "So, did we get back to talking about you eating me?"

"Yes," The giant snake shows Its sharp teeth to him. "But not just you. I also feel powerful other auras on that ship, and I'll go after them as soon as I finish you. No one can escape from me in this world."

Lucien can't help but be worried when he hears that the Leviathan is also interested in the girls. He stayed behind to give them the chance to continue looking for his sisters and the Phoenix, but they won't be able to do it if there is such a creature chasing them.

But he maintains a confident and arrogant expression as he faces the giant snake. "Don't think of others when you're with me; that makes me sad."

The Leviathan smiles as she approaches her head to Lucien. "Oh, little dragon, don't worry; we're going to have so much fun together..."

"Yeah, we agree about that." He also smiles and then summons the Golden Naginata.

The golden light seems brighter than ever, and it's like a sun rising inside that cold, dark storm. Even Lucien's wives can see that glow on the horizon, and it's reflected in their expectant eyes.

That light is also reflected in Leviathan's large green eyes. The creature feels shocked and even fear when seeing the same weapon that killed her mother.

Lucien notices the creature starting to move, and he feels his instincts telling him to flee. Teleport would be the best option now, but without Amelia around, he can't regenerate Spatial mana, so he has limited uses of the teleport ability.

So he flies up as fast as he can. His speed rivals the top speed of the Sea Devil, which is also the top speed of a usual person from the Immortal Realm Peak, surprising the Leviathan.

Yet, he feels the giant snake approaching him quickly and can only hear Lust's voice, screaming in his mind before he gets hit.

*Whoosh* *BAM*

The Leviathan hits Lucien with her tail. And he feels like a mountain is hitting him before his body is quickly thrown down while the Golden Naginata disappears from his hand.

"AAAAH!" He feels his whole body ache like never before, and his bones seem to burn as they are about to break. Many wounds open over his body and start to burn as soon as he falls into the saltwater of the sea.

His blood turns the water red as he sinks rapidly, still out of control of his body. Just that simple blow could kill someone from the Immortal Realm, but he survived, though barely.

'Lucien! Lucien!! Lucien!!!' Lust materializes her body beside him and holds him while she continues to scream in his mind.

'I'm fine...' He quickly responds as his life mana and demonic energies heal his body.

The Leviathan doesn't attack again as she analyzes Lucien's state, giving him and Lust time to talk.

'Why didn't you go to Purple World??? We can't fight this beast!!' She begs because she knows he likes to push his body to the limit. She also understands how that can help him get stronger, but she can't stand to see him suffer.

Lucien smiles lovingly and kisses Lust underwater. 'It's alright, my love... She doesn't want to kill me quickly but rather enjoy her revenge, so I can use this time for the girls to get far away from here.'

Lust can no longer feel the girls due to the distance they are, but Lucien can due to the connection with them, which grows weaker, making it clear that they are already more than a hundred miles away. Yet, he also knows that distance is nothing to the giant serpent.

While he thinks about that, the Leviathan dives into the water at incredible speed; in fact, the creature appears even faster in the water while Lucien is slower.

He tries to flap his wings into the water to swim faster but is still easily hit.

*BAM!*

The Leviathan again hits Lucien with her tail, now throwing him upwards. The wounds of his body that just closed are open again as his demonic energy armor is destroyed.

His body spins uncontrollably in the air many times until Lust manages to help him stop. Blood runs all over his body, leaving his skin red, but again, his wounds began to close incredibly quickly.

*CRAAAACK-BOOOM*

Thunder continues to echo through the sky as the Leviathan comes out of the water and wraps Lucien in a spiral formed by her giant body. Her green eyes sparkle with curiosity as she stares at him and Lust.

"What is it, little dragon? Do you have a personal demon made of pure energy??" The creature asks.

Lucien smiles as Lust wipes the blood from his body. "I call her my wife."

"Hahaha..." The giant snake laugh. "You're even more peculiar than that hateful woman... No one should have such a great regeneration, especially being in the Earth Realm."

"If we can come to an agreement, I can show you things even more interesting than my regeneration..." He suggests in a mysterious tone.

The Leviathan makes a thoughtful expression. "You really look like a demon making a tempting offer... What kind of creature are you? A monster like me?"

He smiles teasingly. "You'll never find out if you kill me now..."

The giant snake shakes her head. "Wrong. I'm going to discover all your secrets while digesting your body in my belly."

She shows her teeth as she moves her head slowly towards Lucien. He is confused for a second until he realizes he can't move his body.

'The water!' Lust quickly warns Lucien. 'The water over your body is under her control.'

He tries to use his energies to get rid of that water, but he can't. The Leviathan's main element is water, and her control over it is tremendously powerful.

Lucien can't help but find it amazing how little raindrops were enough for the Leviathan to confine him. But he wonders why she is moving slowly to attack him.

'Does she want to force me to use the teleport ability until I run out of energy?' He asks Lust.

'She also wants to force you to open the Purple World portal until your soul is exhausted.' Lust completes.

The Leviathan can't help but think that way based on the Royal Dragons' ability to enter the Soul Dimension; however, the Soul Realm created by the ability of Lust is something completely different from that.

Lucien opens the portal behind him, and Lust pushes his body inside it. However, she does not enter the Purple World with him but materializes her body behind the giant snake.

Lust can move freely within the radius of approximately half a mile from where they opened the portal, as that area still means near Lucien.

"Hmm..." The Leviathan is again surprised to see Lucien disappear into the portal, and Lust stays. The creature also knows that she isn't using spatial mana to teleport but just popping up somewhere else.

"That ability isn't from the Dragons... what kind of demon are you?" She asks Lust.

Lust wishes she could always maintain a confident expression like Lucien's, but she's too apprehensive, and the giant snake notices that.

"If you spare us, I can guarantee that our entire race will be in your debt." Lust suggests. "Wouldn't you like to be an ally of the Demon race?"

"Why are you able to speak for your whole race?" She asks.

Now Lust has a reason to smile. "I thought a creature as ancient and intelligent as you would recognize me..."

"Hmm..." The Leviathan starts to think aloud. "A demon made only of energy... and that manages to stay separated from the host even across dimensions... also, with such peculiar abilities..."

"The Seven Great ones!" She concludes.

"Exactly." Lust nods. "I'm the Sin of pleasure, Lust. And Lucien is my Knight. So your revenge on Aylin is trivial compared to our mission to destroy the Gods."

"Oh..." Leviathan becomes even more interested and curious about Lucien and now Lust as well. "If you're one of the Sins, does that mean... did those other auras on the ship were them, your sisters?"

Before Lust responds, the giant snake comments. "But I only felt four powerful auras besides yours... You guys are always in seven, right? And some time ago, I felt two peculiar auras in this same area... I thought they weren't really interesting as they were only in the Earth Realm..."

Lust is happy to hear that Lucien's other sisters must be near that area but doesn't know what to think about the Leviathan yet. Telling her who they are is a risky move, but she can't think of any other way for Lucien to survive that meeting.

"Now, do you understand?" Lust asks. "We are not easy prey, and neither do you want to be our enemy."

The Leviathan smiles while feeling very lucky. "I heard that you Sins are really immortal, but your hosts don't. Devour them should be enough for me to reach an entirely new layer..."

"Also, Gods have already killed many of my people, but only that hateful woman killed my mother. Killing your knight will be really pleasurable for me..." She comments.

[Shit!!] Lust gets upset when the situation doesn't seem to improve. Unfortunately, the Leviathan doesn't look like a female they can seduce.

Before she notices it, a lightning bolt comes from the sky and destroys her body.

She returns to Lucien's soul and then materializes in front of him only to find him in the pool along with Oya while Helena looks at his body with a flushed expression.

"That damn snake seems irrational!!" Lust complains as she dematerializes her clothes and enters Lucien's arms into the warm pool water.
