Lust Knight

When Lucien hugged that frightened Mermaid, he just wanted to comfort her. But that act inspired all the Mermaids seeing that scene.

Although the Mermaids have many similarities with Nagas, they are completely different. The Nagas are like most other races, and the main differences between them are physical characteristics. But the Mermaids differ from all other races mostly because they are such sensitive creatures.

Nea is considered by all Mermaids as their greatest Queen ever because she can act in a way that no other Mermaid can. She can be cold, ruthless, and even brutal while acting by reason rather than emotion most of the time.

She understands what the Mermaids need and completes them where they are weak, making everyone completely trust her.

But what about Lucien? The Mermaids first saw him as a seductive devil; he could give them things they wanted so badly, but being a leader requires so much more.

Seeing him show so much affection for that Mermaid after brutally annihilating that Kraken, the Mermaids understand that Lucien can be like Nea, or rather, together, they can take their race to heights never imagined. And Eve would be a sweet bonus.

For them, that moment is like the birth of a new era. But Lucien can now only think of protecting his Mermaids and slaughtering all the Krakens.

Then he opens the purple world portal and calls his most loyal partners, as well as Nea. Mermaid Queen is the first to come as the other girls get ready, and she is just as furious as Lucien to see those monsters attacking the Mermaids.

That Mermaid who was so scared just ago now feels more revitalized and brave than ever. But she understands that she can't hug Lucien forever, so she goes back to her group after leaving him a beautiful smile. "Thank you."

Lucien nods at the Mermaids before flying to Eve's side. He can see that she worked so hard to take care of the Mermaids in his absence, and it had cost her body severe damage.

"Big sis..." Lucien gets emotional talking to Eve while she looks so hurt.

She affectionately caresses his face. "I am fine."

"This is no time to be excessively proud." He comments while trying to hug her. Eve lets him wrap his arm around her waist; then, he brings their faces closer. "Let me help you."

Eve knows she can't keep fighting after pushing her body over the edge several times in such a short time. She can feel Lucien's energies entering her body, but at that pace, he would need a few hours to heal her fully.

But they don't have that time now, so she nods but not without blushing. "Mm."

Lucien doesn't think twice about kissing Eve's lovely lips, sending her body as much energy as he can, and within seconds she feels very refreshed.

Eve tries not to think too much about that kiss; she is not trying to start a romantic relationship with her little brother but rather letting him help her in any way possible. Yet, she can't deny that Lucien's lips are so good.

And the warm scene between siblings catches the attention of many people, especially their sisters. Naomi is the first to notice that and can't believe it. "No fucking way!?!?"

"Eve???" Donna leaves the portal and is shocked to see that scene.

Lucien and Eve ignore the girls' comments but stop kissing as they are both ready to fight. But before that, he looks at Claire and Naomi. "Are you alright?"

"What do you think??" Naomi asks in a teasing tone.

But before she can make her move on him, Claire does. "I think I need to recover some mana..."

"Yeah, a few kisses would be a big help." Greed smiles at Lucien.

Naomi gives her sister an upset look, but before Lucien can kiss either of them, Pride materializes her body between them. "What the hell are you guys doing? We're in the middle of a battle."

Lucien agrees with Pride, and the time he used to take care of Eve was enough for his wives to get out of the portal; using the best equipment Rebecca recently made, they are ready for battle.

Nea is already fighting alongside her army, but the other girls await Lucien's orders to be as efficient as possible. And he wastes no time, first talking to Mira and Kamala. "Can you face a Kraken alone?"

"For sure!" Kamala quickly responds while Mira nods.

"Then don't hold back!" He smiles at them. "I'll reward you for every one of these damn creatures taken down."

The mother-daughter Naga pair head towards the Naga army to fight alongside their people, so Lucien talks to the blue-haired trio. "Same goes for you, don't hold back."

"Alright!" Angela nods and flies towards one of the Krakens arriving at the battlefield right now. The creature is bombarded by her and her daughters with thousands of Ice spikes and freezes to death before touching the sea.

Then Lucien gives orders to his other wives whose power is enough for them to be able to face a Kraken alone or in small groups. Helena is among his strongest wives right now, but Olivia is also not far behind due to her incredible recent power gain.

Daisy could also face a Kraken alone after the power she received from Lucien. But he asks her to do something else. "Daisy, stay at the Sea Devil and help Valencia use all the resources we have to destroy these creatures."

"OK." Daisy knows that Valencia keeps a lot of rare resources inside the ship, and she also has her own alchemical stock, so she can create massive damage weapons with little time and such resources.

Immediately afterward, Lucien turns his attention to Sophia. "My love, you must focus on healing the wounded; Jeanne and Neola will protect you the whole time."

Sophia wastes no time before starting to heal the most wounded soldiers on the battlefield. She doesn't really need guards as Sloth is with her all the time, but thanks to Neola's ability and Jeanne's soul weapon, they can keep Sophia safe, allowing her to totally focus on healing.

Lucien has already given orders to the main groups, but most of his girls are still waiting for that. Among them are the younger girls, and they know their limitations, but they still want to fight.

He understands how they feel and tries to contain his overprotective side just a little bit. "You can fight, but don't face these creatures alone; stay together and especially close to the Sins."

The girls smile, and Oya roar in response. "ROOOOAR!!!"

"We'll keep an eye on them." Donna comments and Wrath agrees.

"So do we." Naomi also joins the group with Gluttony while Claire and Greed continue by Saria's side.

Most Earth Realm girls could never face an Immortal Realm Kraken, but together with Lucien's sisters and the Sins, their power is greatly boosted, so they waste no time before choosing their first prey.

They can attack almost freely as long as Naomi keeps her huge shield defending them, and Gluttony can absorb attacks before they reach the weaker girls.

Next to Lucien only remain Eve, Amelia, and their Sins. So, he looks at Eve, and even he blushes a little. "You don't have to hold back either, big sis; you can use your ability, and when you need more ki- I mean..."

"Got it." Eve also blushes a little, making Pride roll her eyes. "Let's go kill those monsters!"

"Yeah!" Lucien exclaims as he takes Amelia's hand, making her smile.

He knows the battle goes on for miles, so even with his incredible speed, he can't cross the battlefield immediately to prevent any of his wives from being injured.

He can only do that with his teleport ability, but it consumes a lot of spatial mana, so he needs to keep Amelia by his side the whole time so he can recover that mana and move freely around the battlefield.

And Amelia is undoubtedly willing to fight alongside him all the time; in fact, she and Envy are envied by every other girl except Lust, of course.

"I knew you would leave the best for me!" Amelia kisses Lucien's cheek.

"You'd be jealous any other way, wouldn't you?" He asks in a teasing tone.

"Naturally!" Envy materializes her body and comments while holding her long black daggers.

"Then let's go..." Lucien comments as he uses his senses to choose the spot where he is most needed right now.

*Blink*

After using his teleport ability along with Amelia, Lucien reappears on top of a Kraken that is about to kill a wounded Mermaid. Nea is trying to save her, but another Kraken is in the way.

Lucien gathers all the rage in his heart and releases it into the blazing golden flames of his naginata, splitting that Kraken in half.

As his golden flames make even the Phoenix jealous, Nea smiles at Lucien. "On the right time!"

He looks at that injured Mermaid before smiling at Nea. "None of our Mermaids will die today."

[Our Mermaids?] Nea can't help but wonder about his words for a second. But at that moment, sharing such responsibility with Lucien is the best thing that could happen, so she just nods at him.

And he continues to unleash his fury on the Krakens with his golden naginata and katanas.
