Asmodeus noticed some markings had a strange tag. It was only for Vinea, Asmodea and Erika''s marking.

''Did I just not notice it before, or was there some sort of requirement?''

The tattoo for Vinea was Demon Hero but also had the word [Wrath], but it was greyed out, which made Asmodeus wonder if he hadn''t reached the right level of bonding with her to awaken this tattoo yet, the same words were present for all the sins.

Only the current fusion of Sariel and Asmodea and Velvet had the sins written in white, not grey.

He looked back at the lovely woman now gazing at him while trying to hide in the pool before looking at his left leg and letting out a sigh before choosing her marking and pressing the button beside her and Sariel''s name.

[Awaken Lust and Greed?]

[Y/N]

Asmodeus took a moment to think. He didn''t know what awakening those two sins meant. However, if it strengthened him, he wouldn''t refuse with the appearance of the cult of death.

The rush for him to reach the top was more important than ever.

''Yes!''

[Awakening innate sins]

[Link between consorts increasing]

[Magic binding]

The moment he pressed accept in his mind, a sudden rush of emotions and feelings flooded his body—the magic power of Sariel and Asmodea began to flow into his heart like a surging tide, causing him to gasp.

"Ugh... what...!?"

"Ahn~ it feels like My King is inside me, filling me with such wonderful feelings?!"

Velvet couldn''t contain her sweet sounds while gripping a pillar within the pool. She tried to calm her body. The pool''s cold water did little to cool the heat from the rush that suddenly overcame her.

Asmodeus could barely resist and not fall to his knees. Sweat poured down from his brow while he looked back to see Velvet''s violet hair that swayed with her intoxicated movements. Although it was not a purely sexual pleasure, she felt all her nerves overwhelmed with a pleasant and joyful sensation.

Asmodeus quickly rolled onto his back and started taking deep breaths. He could feel his mana circulating inside him, changing. He wondered what the consequences would be. Yet it was greater than before, like a lake becoming a river.

As the pain grew more intense and the feeling became hotter and sharper, Asmodeus had to resist screaming, afraid his loud voice would alert Velvet. But then, he began to feel some other emotions, a mix of hatred, despair, anguish, fear and longing that weren''t his own.

He saw flashes of two young girls'' memories, their lives and feelings. He appeared in their memories, and he felt their love, affection and trust towards him...

The intense sexual desire of one towards him, from the moment she laid eyes on him, like a desperate hunger for him to become hers... the other a greedy desire to make him hers, and everything about him from the moment they met.

''I see...''

''This is the feelings of Liana and Velvet; from the moment they met me, it was already decided.''

[The Demoness of Lust has awakened]

[The Demoness of Greed has awakened]

[You have gained the powers of Lust and Greed]

''Velvet seems to have been awakened because she didn''t need anyone else, or rather, the ice dragon seemed to be enough.''

[I wonder what Vinea might need~ she''s a little wrathful. I am sure you will meet a monster that is overwhelmed by wrath and anger one day! Fufu~]

Asmodeus stopped for a moment and closed his eyes; from the words of Serena, that meant he wouldn''t need to find someone greedy like Velvet.

However, the keywords were monster, wrath, and anger.

Serena didn''t respond, meaning she couldn''t help further, but it was more helpful than nothing, at least in his opinion. The mountain should have all but dried out after he left a flame constantly melting the snow and water that was left when melting during the past two days, so now it was time to leave.

"Velvet?"

"Mmm?" A sensual and low hum came from the mineral pool. It felt like her skin was glossier than before. To his eyes, she was more alluring and beautiful—not much had changed, but their connection of magic and mind felt so comforting; although it didn''t let them read each other''s minds, it gave subtle hints to what the other desired.

"Come here."

Asmodeus spread his arms and watched as the lovely queen jumped from the mineral pool with arms stretched and wings flapping gracefully, slowing her landing so he didn''t get hurt by catching her.

"My king..." Velvet cried out as her naked, wet body contacted Asmodeus, who looked imposing with the huge axe tattoo on his chest along with the other markings. She wrapped herself around his body before the pair fell towards the fire, hugging each other tight.

"I needed another bath after all..." Her sensual whispers made Asmodeus feel as if his body would catch fire. "This is nice..." He closed his eyes after wrapping her body gently in a hug while smelling her intoxicating sweet scent.

"What''s wrong, you keep staring at me, Velvet?" Asmodeus asked with a charming voice; he opened one eye to peek at his lovely queen, who hid her face in his chest as if shy.

"I can feel something strange... My King''s feelings... his greed to make me his, and your magic is flowing through my body, making me stronger constantly as if your hands are lovingly wrapping around my existence."

Her tail wrapped around his waist, making Asmodeus smile warmly.

''I see... This is what it is like to become closer and awakening their innate power. It feels comfortable.'' Asmodeus'' left leg was the symbol of greed, which Velvet''s thighs wrapped around as if drawn to it. The closer she was to his marking, the stronger the effect of their bond felt.

Meanwhile, back at the inn in Baltimore, inside a private room, the demon princess and consort of blood, Asmodea and Sariel, were sitting together, holding hands. The figure of Sariel hid in her quilt, but her beautiful pink hair draped down from the facial opening.

The quilt was like Sariel''s armour or safety blanket, as she had just woken up after experiencing an evolution. There were memories and feelings from the sealed Sariel that were transferred over.

"Hey, Sariel do you feel it? Our beloved''s feelings, thanks to you, I can feel his desire and thoughts about us both."

Asmodea smiled warmly towards the beautiful demon beside her while closing her eyes and enjoying his warmth that flowed to her.

The quilt she was using was made in part from the materials they collected in the dungeons, but the warmth came from the distant feelings of their shared love interest.

"Mm... he''s thinking about us right now. He desperately wants to come home to see us both."

"Heh, that''s my king, our beloved."

Asmodea blushed slightly when she realised Asmodeus could also hear and sense their thoughts at that same time—when she suddenly felt a strange connection a few hours ago.

She locked herself in her room and was forced to pleasure herself until she became listless. "It seems that Velvet has become his lover too. How interesting."

Sariel looked up, her eyes like gemstones in the maroon sun. "Shall we get ready for his return, Asmodea? I don''t think the others can feel this yet."

"Nn~ cute little succubus princess, we should. Let''s make sure the mistress cooks his favourite meals tonight."
