The Way of a Demon Lord-Novel

Chapter 57: The Hunt (8) *

Ten minutes passed. Twenty minutes passed. Thirty minutes passed.

Adrian kept diving deeper and deeper. The water pressed against his skin, resisting him from going any deeper. But who could stop Adrian?

All he could see was the blue above and the black below. He did not have to worry about his breath; he had already taken a ‘breathless potion’ while walking through the range of mountains.

Forty minutes passed. He did not know how deep he dove, nor did he care. Suddenly, a sound entered his ears, causing him to peak them but he did not stop diving.

The deeper he went the sound became louder, and clearer. It was not just any random sound, it was a melody. It was as if a choir of women, young and old, were holding a concert under the lake with their sonorous voices.

He paced up, determined to reach the source of the music. The sound reverberating through the dark waters of the lake kept getting louder, clearer and more- hypnotic.

He was not the first ever to dive into the ‘Blues’. There were countless others who did it before him. But there were only two possible results: either miraculously resurfacing- the last memory being that of the heavenly singing of the mermaids, or not being able to escape from the depths at all. Even supreme level circlers were not exceptions.

Adrian smirked.

‘These small tricks can only affect puny humans.’

He was completely unaffected by the ‘bewitching’ melody as he pierced through the darkness. Suddenly, he saw a shimmering blue light fighting against the dark waters of the lake.

‘Found you!’ He smiled.

For the first time, he induced magical energy to strengthen his strokes along with <Corrosion> to corrode the resisting water. He flashed to the source of the glint- and the music.

It was a blue orb, not bigger than the size of a fist. He examined it for a moment before nodding his head.

‘Ready or not, here I come.’ The smile on his face grew wider as he touched the orb with his right index finger.

*Whoosh* *Bubble*

He disappeared. But the blue sphere remained- albeit a lot dimmer.

******

A small pond was barely visible due to the dense mists blanketing it.

*Splash!*

A young and naked man suddenly emerged from the its surface. Adrian looked around and smiled.

‘Perfect.’

*Splash!*

Another figure suddenly rose a few meters away from him.

“Oh my!” A bewitching feminine voice reverberated through the silent and mysterious atmosphere. “It has been years since someone broke through the ‘Demure Lullabies.'”

Adrian turned towards the figure whose waist-below was submerged into the warm pond water. The fog could not block his sight. The kingdom toppling beauty looked as if she were in her early thirties. Her light blue hair was akin to a gentle spring and blue eyes represented the deep oceans. Her pink lips contrasted the blue. Her bare breasts were large and her nipples were akin to small peaches- which any man would want to taste at least once before death.

“Looked enough?”

“Nope.”

“Oh my. You are a young one indeed.” She giggled.

She swam to the centre of the small pond where a large rock protruded. She began to climb on it. Just as her waist rose above the surface level, bluish scales were revealed. The more she got up on the rock, the more her lower body- or tail- was revealed. She finally climbed on top and sat down there, hanging her tail down. Her tail fins softly tapped the pond water.

Adrian’s countenance remained the same- not a trace of surprise could be seen. Rather, his nonchalance surprised her, but not much.

“Tell me child. What do you desire? The knowledge I possess surpass anyone out there on the surface.”

Her question was met with silence.

A minute passes, but he did not utter a word.

She frowned. “Have you not heard what I said, child?”

“Oh. I was waiting for you to finish.” He said.

“What do you mean?” Her squint became narrower.

“What do I have to give in return?” He asked.

“Smart boy.” She smiled. “Nothing much- only a part of your soul. And the quantity depends on your wish.”

“I accept then. But I don’t need any knowledge. What I want is a kiss, and to fondle those breasts.”

“Are you sure?” She kneaded her own breasts as she smirked. “None dared to request this before. It will cost you dearly.”

“I don’t mind.” He shook his head.

“Oh it’s good to be young.” 

*Splash*

She jumped down from top of the rock. She swam towards him and in no time, she was before him.

“What do you want to do first?” First she pointed at her pink lips, and then at her ample breasts.

“Why not both?” He smirked.

“Ohho. Naughty boy.” She giggled.

She approached him and got her lips towards his. Adrian did not stay still as he also bent forward. Moments later, both of their wet lips touched. He guided one of his hands to the back of her waist and the other one to one of her breasts before kneading it softly.

“Aaah.” The moment her moan escaped, his tongue entered her mouth.

Both of them closed their eyes as they began to enjoy each other’s tongues. His hand kept playing with her mounds and tits. She did not keep her hands unoccupied either. One of her hands was on his cheek and the other was slowly sliding downward through his solid abs.

The hand finally reached his erect shaft. It was pressing against her navel. She started to stroke it slowly while his tongue messed her mouth and hand kneaded her boobs.

*Click. Click.*

A minute passed but they did not stop. Their tongues kept twisting around each other as they clicked. He kept fondling her melons while she kept rubbing his dick. Her muffled moans escaped at times.

After five whole minutes, he drenched her already wet abdomen with his semen. Both of them finally broke the kiss and moved away. A long string of saliva kept their mouth connected before it collapsed and *drip* fell to the pond.

All of the four eyes opened.

“Do you know what the price is for what you’ve just done?” She giggled.

“What? My whole soul?” He asked with nonchalance.

“Yes. And also your delicious body.” She opened her mouth wide open, wide enough to split her jaws. Her beautiful white teeth distorted to sharp monstrous teeth.

*Screeeeeeeeech!*

She aimed for his neck.

“*&£@@#&*&£#@£*” Adrian nonchalantly voiced out a phrase which was unutterable and incomprehensible by humans.

She stopped and backed off in alarm, widening the distance between them.

“Demon tongue! How do you know demon tongue?” Her twisted expression and widened eyes betrayed an unimaginable degree of horror. “No. That’s not the issue here. How do you know my true name?”

“Demon tongue?” A smile surfaced on his face. “Why would I not speak it? After all I am just like you- a demon.”

“But how do you know my true name? Not even my Lord knows of it.” Suddenly, she shook her before looking at him. Her eyes almost popped out. “Unless, you are…”

“Yes, you are right.” His smile grew wider as he bowed, as if he were introducing himself.

“No! Impossible!” She vigorously shook her head. “How are you alive? How are you in this world? How could ‘they’ let a cursed existence like you live?” She slowly swum back as she spoke.

“It’s useless, no matter in which corner of the universe you hide.” He said.

She stopped moving away from him. That was right. She could not escape away from him.

She sighed. “What do you want?”

“I already got what I want.”

“Oh right. You have those eyes.”

“That’s not it. Do you think your knowledge exceeds mine?” He smirked.

“What is it, then?” She frowned. She could not think of anything else.

He shook his head in response. “Only the highest ranked ones of your race knows how miraculous a mermaid’s first kiss is.”

She gasped. “What about our breasts then?”

“Do you think I need a reason to play with them?”

She sighed. “What are you going to do to me now?” She had already given up all hope.

“Nothing. Send me back.” He said casually.

“What?!”

“What do you mean what? Demon folks are extremely rare in this world. Why would I want to kill you?”

She frowned. She was a purebred demon. She knew more than anyone that demons could not be trusted. Especially if the other party shows any sort of sympathy.

“But I have a condition.”

His statement caused her to loosen her frown.

‘Now, we are talking.’ She thought as her eyes and demeanour turned normal.

“You will not reveal my existence to your Lord, that bitch, in any way. Neither will you ask her anything about your first kiss. Swear it upon your true name.”

She nodded and swore using demon tongue.

Adrian listened to her every words before nodding in response.

“Good. Now, send me back.”
