Chapter 19 What's The Payback?
"Tell me now, what do you mean by taking me as a host? And why are you here for me?"
Zoravec pulled out the chair and turned it towards the bed, he sat there and demanded a reply from the demoness.
"Start speaking!"
Zoravec raised his voice a bit to ensure Devi that he was still waiting for her explanation. It was obvious that he needed to know a lot of things from her but perhaps only she could answer them. Since the realm did not invite intruders, it was still a mystery how come Devi managed to sneak in.
However the demoness waited for a few moments before she could finally answer him. It was not that she wanted to lie in the first place but Devi was also aware by now that he would do anything to find the truthfulness of her words.
Thus she decided to tell him the truth hoping that Zoravec would not harm her body in return. She had to put faith in him so she could have it back too. A sigh reverberated in Zoravec's head as he faked a 'hmm' to encourage her to speak.
[I…I came here to take you as my host.] - Devi

The demoness stated from zero as she wanted to explain him everything, which took all the information from the beginning. However, Zoravec did not seem to have so much patience with her already, because the longer he would stay quiet things would get bad quicker.
"I know this already, Devi. Don't repeat things which I have already heard."
Zoravec rebuked her making the woman take another pause before she resumed. He could feel reluctance in her voice which indicated that she was definitely hiding something from him.
[My powers have been sealed by someone, now don't ask by whom. In order to gain my half powers I have to have a host.] - Devi
Zoravec thought for a moment trying to infer her words because the woman was hiding a lot of other things behind those precise words. He placed his right palm under his chin and thought carefully before crafting out the accurate question.
"And how having a host can help you? Do you have to just feed on your hosts for energy?"
He stated his suspicion along with the question, leaving a room for her to state what did she exactly mean. After all, hosts were not something simple and being a vessel to someone meant eternal enslavement.
Devi stayed quiet and took a few moments again, the frequent pauses had started to annoy him. But he had to comply in order to get her answer the important queries. The running patience was visible over his face which made the demoness rethink about her decision.
Disclosing information to him was not a small thing, the hosts when they were not claimed by their predators had the tendency to attack back. Since Zoravec was not claimed by her it left a high chance for him to harm Devi.
The demoness was not afraid for no reason, she was aware that to claim Zoravec as her host she had to absorb a visible amount of lustful energy. Devi needed to come into a physical form for a long time, or else the outcomes would still be the same as they were now.
The woman had to be sure that Zoravec would not find a way to get rid of her. Not like he was even aware of how to do that. But the possibility still remained there which made the demoness ponder upon her decision once again.
[Y…yes. I have to feed on you to accumulate a visible amount of lustful energy to regain my lost strength.] - Devi
The demoness hid the other half truth from him that she had to feed on other people too. After Devi had absorbed sufficient life force which would enable her to stay awake in that body for longer. The demoness had to mate with Zoravec to take over his body, so she could merge with him and literally eat him alive.
He was unware of the fact and definitely had no clue what or how her world worked. Their kind was known for their mischievous ways and cruelty they had shown to their hosts. It's been years that Devi's kind had infiltrated into utter realms just to find their hosts to merge with them.
It was not normal for her species too because the merging only occurred when the predator had lost something. And in order to gain that lost thing or trait they had to sacrifice something valuable.
Since Zoravec's lust tendencies were higher compared to every other existing being in that realm, Devi was determined to use him as sacrificial lamb.
"Is that it? Feeding on me, huh?"
Zoravec frowned acknowledging that things were not simple as they seemed. But he had to feign ignorance to force Devi to blow her cover and surface her true intentions.
"But what will I get in return from you? After all, I would be allowing you to feed on my horniness constantly. Hehe~"
Zoravec blatantly used the accurate words, but his tone appears to be proud. As if he was taking pride in his hyperactive hormones.
[....]
Whereas Devi was speechless by his shamelessness, she had never thought about a payback. Because according to her she should have been the dominant one, but Devi had no clue when did tables turn!
