Damien flashed away from the Demon King’s Castle the instant he had taken Lucius and his trusted subordinates into the Sanctuary. He was of the mind to escape as soon as possible.

Although he was expecting the inevitable backlash that’d come with kidnapping the Demon King, he didn’t think that the consequences would be so blaring.

After all, there were literal alarms blaring through the fourth layer constantly, attracting the attention of even those who had been cultivating in seclusion. Even if Damien wanted to be silent now, he didn’t have the chance.

When Damien reappeared from the void, he was already outside of the castle, and soon he disappeared again and arrived in front of the barrier that was guarding it. He needed to leave it before the defensive functions it contained activated.

“Little boy, you are quite the clever one!”

However, just as he was about to step out of its reach, an alluring voice rang out from behind him, causing his body to involuntarily stop in its tracks.

‘Fuck.’

Damien didn’t even need to turn around to understand what had happened. There was only a single level of existence present who could force Damien’s body to stop against his will;

“Sigh, which mighty Demon King has come to cause trouble for this Young Master?”

“Mm, it seems you have some sense to know this Queen’s identity so early, but what qualifications do you have to know my name?”

“I mean, to be fair, I probably already know your name. I just need to attach that name to a face now.”

“You still care to act rampantly in my presence? You’re quite the bold one aren’t you?”

Even until this point, Damien hadn’t turned around. He was still gritting his teeth and helplessly watching the shimmering golden barrier as it became more and more corporeal.

‘What to do, what to do…’

Damien’s thoughts raced. Escaping from a Demon King would be difficult, but not impossible. However, he first needed to exit the barrier.

He roused his mana rapidly and threw a heavy punch towards the golden film.

Pang!

A dull sound emerged from the collision, but aside from a few ripples, there was no real pact.

“Boy, it’s futile to try breaking the barrier with your little strength. It was built to contain us, so how could someone like you have the qualifications to break it?”

“Whether I have the qualifications or not, that’s for me to decide.”

A fit of charming giggles came from behind him. The sound was heavenly, making Damien want to turn around and witness the face of one who could produce such a chime.

Suddenly, an alluring scent wafted past his nose. It was the scent of cherry blossoms mixed with roses, a similar scent to Rose’s natural body fragrance. In that instant, Damien felt his mind become entranced.

“Turn around.”

The words flowed like an inviolable command, and Damien’s body willingly followed it. When he turned around, he was finally able to see the person he had been talking to all this time.

She was tall for a woman, reaching Damien’s nose in height. Her clothes were risqué, causing a large portion of her sensual body to be revealed to him.

Those slender legs and soft thighs made him want to dive at her and relish in their feel. Her bust was insane, and Damien knew very well there was no way for them to be fake. He could almost feel the feeling of those soft mounds being molded by his hands.

As for her face, it was a personification of the term ‘jade beauty’. She was like a carving that a master created when he was enlightened on the meaning of perfection.

That was what Damien thought when he first laid eyes on this woman.

“Mm, as I thought you are quite bold. You aren’t even bothering to hide your gaze on this Queen.”

Damien’s eyes were drawn to her lips as she spoke. With every movement, his desire to dominate this woman grew even fiercer.

“It can’t be helped. Every man is weak to such a beauty.”

Before he even realized it, words began to spill out of his mouth.

“You might say you are weak, but you look quite vigorous to me!” The Demon Queen responded.

Damien grinned. “Ah, pardon my little brother. He gets excited when he meets new people, you see.”

“Indeed, I can see clearly. However, he looks a bit shy hiding behind so many walls. Why don’t you let me meet him face to face?”

“I’d be honored. Should we change locations then?”

The Demon Queen smiled seductively, her gaze never leaving Damien’s lower body. She had to admit that he was definitely well endowed.

As they spoke, more and more demons arrived in the area, surrounding Damien and the Demon Queen on all sides. However, they didn’t dare to approach.

Instead, they stood back and watched the show with disdainful grins on their faces. They almost felt bad for the poor guy, falling into that seductress’s clutches.

It would’ve been much easier for him if he had just obediently chosen to die by their hands.

“I’m curious though, why is it that you came so early? I wasn’t expecting to meet interference from the three of you until much later.”

Damien suddenly raised a question. The Demon Queen’s gaze hardened for a second, but soon returned to its former playfulness.

“It seems you still maintained a shred of sanity. Well, it’s not that I mind. The more you struggle, the better it is for me. I’ll answer your question as a final goodwill. I had already sensed you when you first arrived, so I couldn’t help but be curious. What kind of person would be so audacious as to trespass here? Now that I’ve seen you up close, I can say that I’m not disappointed in the slightest.”

By this point, the Demon Queen had long approached him. Her body was pressed against his, her bodacious assets pressed firmly against his chest.

As his hazy eyes gazed down, he could feel her soft breaths tickling the skin near his lips. It was as if any second now, she would pounce on him and steal his lips.

Damien’s breath became ragged the longer they stayed in this position. Even as she spoke to him, the Demon Queen didn’t stop teasing him, rubbing her lower body against his.

“Ahhh~”

Suddenly, a heavenly moan left her mouth as his raging dragon managed to slip into the space between her thighs.

“Naughty boy!” She quipped lightly. But she made no moves to adjust her position.

The flames in Damien’s eyes became increasingly hot.

‘There’s no need to hold any pretenses, right? She’s practically begging for it.’

Damien’s thoughts ran wild. Damien’s ears were filled with the pleasure-filled moans of the Demon Queen as her lower body rubbed back and forth against his raging dragon. His senses were filled with the feeling of that hidden valley and the clear liquid that continued to leak out of it.

He felt his last string of restraint threatening to break at any second. His dragon blood raged, telling him to embrace its lascivious nature. His demon blood reveled in the desire to conquer.

As the pleasure he felt continued to heighten, his consciousness became fuzzy.

‘What else do I need in this world? This pleasure is more than enough. Yes, pleasure is all I need in life.’

When the thought passed through his head, multiple flashes went through his mind. Rose, Ruyue, and even Elena. Their faces and voices began to fade from his memory, being replaced by the feeling he was currently experiencing.

In that moment, a burst of mana erupted from a certain location in his mindspace. This mana continued to spread, creating a suction force that drew the incorporeal concepts within his mind into it.

Click!

The sound of a lock clicking resounded through his mind, and in an instant, his thoughts became clear.

Even as the Demon Queen arrived closer and closer to climax on his heated rod, Damien no longer felt any pleasure, nor did he feel the encroaching temptation that had been threatening to consume him only moments prior.

The Mind Prison he had created and neglected for so long had finally shown its fangs, ridding Damien of the mental corruption he had been forced under.

Damien felt a cold sweat run down his back, but he didn’t show any signs on his face. His eyes remained hazy and he continued to act as he did moments prior.

‘Fuck! It truly is a whole different world!’

Damien prided himself on the mental fortitude he built during his years of torture in the dungeon, but that mental fortitude had been torn to shreds like a piece of paper by the mana of this Demon Queen.

A 4th class was truly an existence that couldn’t be defied by those lower than him. If it wasn’t for the Mind Prison subconsciously activating due to the crisis he was in, he wouldn’t have even been able to resist.

Rose, Ruyue, and all his emotional attachments would’ve been erased from his thoughts as he became a tool for this Demon Queen. He didn’t doubt that he would die in her embrace after being used as her cauldron for a while.

Suddenly, an intense rage bubbled forth from the recesses of his mind. Back during the convention of wicked sects, he had also met a temptress who tried to use charm arts on him. Back then, he had made it clear how much he hated his thoughts and emotions being controlled by others.

Yet, here he was in a similar situation, but he was almost unable to resist.

His rage only became fiercer when his thoughts arrived at this point. He wanted nothing more than to tear the woman in front of him to shreds.

But he didn’t have the power to do so.

‘If so, there’s only one other option left.’

A wicked grin surfaced on his face. If he couldn’t kill ruthlessly, then the only option left was to humiliate!
