Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

Chapter 38: Alan - He Who Believes In me



Ryuji knelt in the cold, devoid of movement. His mind became distant, listening to the echoes of water and blood dropping around him, weaving into a peculiar melody that soothed his aching body.

'The time feels so obscure.'

Because of his body's resilience, Ryuji braced himself for the aggression by regulating his regeneration and rage.

With his unique healing ability, he had the power to dictate the pace of his healing, effectively defending against his adversaries' unrelenting assaults. Now they left. He devoted all 120 rage points to damage reduction and healing.

Crack!

The sound of bones adjusting, meat rejoined, and flesh healing filled the wet room, adding to the melody and forming a beautiful concerto depicting Ryuji's resilience.

"Ugh... My teeth ache..."

An intense pain filled his jaw as it cracked, and then a burning pain grew within his gums before his remaining teeth all started falling out with a small tap, creating ripples in the small goopy puddle of water and blood.

"Argh, shit!" Ryuji felt like his tongue tore off as his gums throbbed. The feeling of emptiness spread through his mouth.

He couldn't believe it.

For a moment, he felt a sense of despair, and then his inner calm spread. His tongue slipped over his gums to feel new teeth pushing through his gums, sharp, harder than titanium. His canines had transformed into small, pure white fangs.

The changes didn't end there. He felt his mouth changing like his tongue was being stretched out. Soon, it lengthened out to 16cm outside his lips. The pure red tongue was muscular and filled with power. It was thin, long, and extremely flexible.

'What's happening?'

'We are being born. Finally, the mana in this world allowed me to be reborn! Thanks to those idiots beating me so badly!'

The demonic thoughts in his heart seemed to hold all the answers—rather, Ryuji felt that his two sides merged in a slow process. He felt this was how he was supposed to be from the start.

Ryuji's eyes became a beautiful blue, completely transformed. They shone like gems, a dark blue that was crystal clear.

'So this is who I was supposed to be?' Ryuji tried to see the truth in the voice. He looked in the murky puddle to find his eyes became bright even in this dark room—the kobold tattoo only allowed him to see the figures as if using a night vision lens.

Yet now, he could see the details of everything in their true colours.

"I never knew my mother's eyes would be so beautiful..." Ryuji felt all his concerns and doubts fade the moment he saw his new sapphire blue iris, identical to his mother's, piercing and filling with a mystical beauty that removed the effect of his sharp gaze.

"Mother, who were you?"

'Why is my voice different... It's like those deep and sexy radio voices!'

Tap!

Tap!!

Tap!!!

Footsteps echoed, and his hearing and senses seemed to have increased several times past their former state—he could see a strange array of colourful bits floating in the air and hear the breathing of the four people heading towards him.

One who he craved to see each moment since he came here, another who kept his promise and the other two people who beat him like a dog just hours before.

"Do you think the freak will fight anymore after that beating?" -Deadbeat A

"No way. We broke his most important bones for fighting and damaged his heart." -Deadbeat B.

Ryuji ignored the whispered conversation between the two people in a strange language, even though he could understand it like a native. Instead, he listened to her voice with a wide smile on his face.

"Alan! You said he is here, right? My Ryuji is waiting here? I cannot smell him! All I smell is blood and death!"

"Lady Yumiko, I swear that if Ryuji has suffered more than expected, I will never let this go. The king, queen and princess have pardoned Ryuji's crimes because of his past deeds and because I signed him up for a C-Rank Dungeon dive."

"You think I care about the dungeon? What about my Ryuji!"

'Hah... My girlfriend sounds so beautiful, like a sweet song.' Ryuji's mouth almost slipped into a broad smile. His canines were itching for action with a predator's glint in his from the conversation between the two men that caused him to desire blood.

'My lovely shadow fox is filthy and stinks? Scum!'

However, the most important thing for Ryuji was the fact that Alan spoke so confidently. The two had the same name, and both supported him.

He wanted to trust in Alan, who believed in him.

'Whatever a Chosen is, I will undertake it because of Alan, who believed in me.'

The sound of footsteps came close while Ryuji just cracked his bones. His changed body was a mystery because the cuffs blocked all magic, including the system screen that the goddess gave.

"He's in here!"

"Open the door, quickly!" Alan's grumpy voice echoed, causing the deadbeat to grunt under his voice.

"Just you wait, stupid boy. Lord Qwass will crush you and your Chosen, then have you exiled!"

Ryuji didn't bother about the deadbeat's stupid threats but waited with bated breath for the sound of the door opening. The anticipation that he hadn't felt since waiting for his mother to return from work each day.

Click!

The door's several locks snapped open one by one. The clicking sounds grew louder and louder while his senses spiked.

*Creak!*

A loud creak rang out, and a stream of light poured into the dark cell, basking Ryuji in warmth and blinding him.

However, before he could enjoy the light, the soft, fluffy feeling of Yumiko's hair and body shot into his arms.

Thankfully, Ryuji's reborn body held her with ease. Otherwise, he might have let her drop into the nasty bloody pool filled with many disgusting flesh, organs, and blood from his former self.

Yumiko's light frame clung to his neck, suffocating him. But Ryuji didn't care, as he smelled her warm and fruity fragrance.

"Ryuji, Ryuji, Ryuji! Ryuji!!!! RYUJI!!"

Tears ran down Ryuji's neck as Yumiko cried. Her claws and fangs grazed his body as her thick tail lashed wildly in the air.

"He-he's still alive, master Alan! Ryuji is fine!!"

What amused Ryuji was that the most shocked were the two guards, who looked at him with stunned eyes.

"How!?"

"We crushed his teeth! How, this monster!"

Alan took action, grasping his longsword—he smashed the pommel into the jaw of the first deadbeat before his body twisted with elegance, smashing the other's teeth before snatching the key as he watched the two men fall onto their backs in agony.

"Keep a lookout for me, Yumiko! I am getting him out of here! If someone stops us, beat them without mercy!"

Ryuji listened to Alan's words in surprise and thanks while Yumiko nodded and sniffed Ryuji's chest.

She seemed to look at his eyes with a strange look but didn't ask questions while her hands stroked his body, measuring and looking for wounds, her nose constantly sniffing as if to confirm it was him.

'This cute fox is confused.'

"Ryuji?"

"Yeah, what's wrong, Yumiko?"

"N-Nothing... you just seem different."

"Do you like it?" Ryuji leaned towards her cheek, watching Alan unfasten his chains with a jangle. He kissed Yumiko's cheek and sniffed her neck in return.

"Ryuji is always my Ryuji..." Yumiko's soft hands clasped his cheeks tightly—her eyes focused on him as if in a trance. "Beautiful, like gemstones..."

"Nothing is more beautiful than my little shadow fox."

"Hmmp~!"

"Yo-You have the eyes of a beast... your voice is so sexy now, and you feel so dangerous!" Yumiko's face glowed red, but her smile and constant marking told Ryuji that she liked this change.

"Can you two stop flirting while I am here trying to bust you out? Although it is a lovely pairing, I feel awkward here!"

Alan coughed while opening the final chain, his lips curling into a sarcastic smile.
