Lust Knight (Web Novel)

The romantic and lustful scene of Lucien kissing and touching Eve and Pride creates the most powerful sinful aura so far, empowering thousands of Mermaids and female Nagas.

That involves as many of the feelings he can arouse in women as the respect and admiration those women feel for Eve, especially the Mermaids.

For their race, Nea will always be their beloved Mermaid Queen, while Saria is the future Mermaid Queen; but at the same time, they already see Eve as their Human Queen and also respect Mira as the Allied Queen.

There are many respected and loved female leaders, but they all revolve around only one King, Lucien, of course.

And the respect they have for him has already become love, the kind of love and devotion a race can have for a leader who is not only willing to fight to protect them but to give them his own power.

And for that reason, when that sinful aura full of Lucien and Eve's energies enters the body of those Mermaids and Nagas, none of them resist it.

They embrace the demonic power with open hearts and open minds, allowing themselves to feel as good as if they were in Lucien's arms too.

And the result is far superior to what Lust and Pride could ever expect.

All Mermaids and Nagas in the Sky Realm's late stages reach the Immortal Realm as they continue traveling toward the capital of the Mermaid Kingdom.

All of them already in the Immortal Realm advance a few layers, some even reaching the peak.

But the benefits of Lucien and Eve's sinful aura can't just be described by old standards; that power so much strengthens the bodies of those Mermaids and Nagas far beyond the power realms, as it does with Lucien and his wives.

The army, which was already strong, reaches a level unthinkable for ordinary people.

And, of course, the benefits for Lucien and Eve are also huge.

With the mix of Lust and Pride powers, Eve gets stronger based on how good all those women feel about her scene with Lucien, and he gets stronger based on how much they are admired by everyone.

Lucien's power level matches Eve's, and both keep advancing layers in the Sky Realm until Its peak.

The union of their powers is so incredible that it even makes them break that barrier, reaching the Immortal Realm straight, which is a much greater realization of what ordinary people reaching that level.

The real benefits for them are much greater than anyone can imagine. Since Lucien could exchange blows with Tyrion before, now he's probably stronger than anyone from the early Cosmic Realm stages.

And even though Eve doesn't have access to all the demonic energies that Lucien has, her real power isn't so far behind.

As Pride's power allows her to get stronger based on how loyal people are to her, all those Mermaids boosted by them also give her similar power to someone from the Cosmic Realm.

Lust doesn't regret being the catalyst for that to happen; however, she can't help but be jealous of how much power Lucien can generate with Pride; and he hasn't even put his tattoo on her, making a soul contract with her yet.

Greed, Claire, Saria, and the other girls can only join Lust in watching the trio with jealous eyes. But of course, they still benefit a lot from that sinful aura, becoming much stronger too.

Along the way, the group had to leave the male Naga troops and half of all the female troops behind due to their speed.

Only those who have reached the Immortal Realm and a few hundred who have come up the giant Turtle's shell are with Lucien, while the others are coming behind under the leadership of Ramla, Nea's right-hand Mermaid.

The mood is awful as if it were a sinister night, dark clouds are everywhere, and Tyrion's dark magic portals can already be seen in the sky.

And that's how the group finally arrives in the territory of the Mermaid Kingdom's capital.

The sea is raging in protest, and in the midst of so much darkness, Lucien can see a beautiful blue light on the horizon.

"It's the crystal city!!" Saria points to that blue light.

Claire has a worried expression on her face as she looks at the Krakens starting to come out of the portals in the sky.

"The attack has already begun... we are late."

"No..." Saria comments in a hopeful tone as she touches Claire's shoulders. "We are here, and this is the best result we could have."

"But the city is unprotected..." Claire speaks in a regretful tone. "It's mine and Greed's fault for taking you to a war against the Nagas."

Before Saira has time to console Claire, Lucien stands in front of them.

"We worked so hard to get here in time..." His eyes glow purple, gold, and now even white sparkles as he gazes at the blue light on the horizon.

"I will not allow any Mermaid to die while I can protect them!" His words carry such determination that they touch the hearts of all Mermaids who hear them.

Pride materializes her body next to him. "We'll go ahead."

"I'm going too!" Claire quickly speaks as Saria and Kamala demonstrate the same desire in their eyes.

Lucien quickly opens the purple portal for Kamala to enter as he extends his hand to Claire.

But he casts a sorry look at Saria. "One of us has to stay to lead the troops while we hold them off."

That is no time for selfishness since the Krakens are already descending upon the city, and Its defenses may fall before the group crosses the miles that still separate them from the Mermaid people there.

Then Saria quickly nods. "We'll be right behind you."

Lucien smiles at her as Kamala quickly enters the purple world, so he hugs Claire with one arm and Eve with the other.

Even though Eve's power is already so high, Lucien has a pair of powerful hybrid wings, which greatly increase his flight speed.

So he wastes no time before flapping those wings so hard, propelling him and his sister incredibly fast towards the great crystal city.

*WHOOOOOOSH*

Lucien flies so quickly over the sea that he raises a line of water tens of meters high as he quickly approaches the city.

The remaining soldiers in the city took all the children, the elderly, and other Mermaids below the Sky Realm to the deepest parts of the place so they can stay safe for longer.

So those brave women stood guard on the walls, waiting for the Krakens to arrive. Their numbers add up to a few thousand, but without Nea and the strongest troops, they wouldn't last more than an hour against an army of Krakens.

But when hope was already gone from their hearts, the eyes of those Mermaids see the high line of water over the sea head.

"What is that?"

"Is someone coming??"

"Who?? The Queen???"

*ROOOOOOAARRRR!!!!*

The first Kraken to come fully out of the portal furiously roars as it launches its tentacles towards the Crystal City's front walls.

*BAAAAM*

The attack is blocked by an invisible barrier, part of the city's defensive magic, but the whole place trembles under the power of a dark magic-modified Immortal Realm Kraken.

"NOW!!!" The Mermaid leading the group of guards orders a counterattack, and all troops that can attack from a distance launch their attacks against the Kraken.

However, those attacks barely damage the first Kraken, who continues attacking the barrier while other Krakens join the offensive.

The Mermaids feel a dark shadow fall over their hearts as despair grows.

But then the first Kraken's black eyes turn one bright gold and the other white, shocking everyone.

That golden and white light is beautiful as a ray of sunlight on a gloomy day, and then the creature's eyes explode as Lucien and Pride pierce them from the inside out with their weapons.

The creature cannot resist the powerful energies of Lucien and Pride within Its body, so it explodes, creating a rain of dark blood and guts that falls over the city's magic barrier.

"WHAT!?!?"

The Mermaids are shocked by that scene, many of them recognize Eve's aura, but they don't know who Pride and Lucien are.

But he knows who they are, his beloved Mermaids. So he smiles at them as he uses his energy to make his voice echo for miles, covering the whole crystal city.

"Stay behind the barrier; your army is coming!"

Lust materializes her body next to Lucien and doesn't resist the urge to use her energy to make her voice reach as many Mermaids as possible.

"But your King is already here to protect all of you."
