The Archdemon of Lust

Prince Luxen from the 2nd Circle of Hell

***********************************************

'What was wrong with kissing a husband if he wanted to trace her lips with his?' Luxen thought darkly.

Luxen could have sworn Luna had liked his kiss at some point, or was it his lustful magic doing the talking?

When the dense fog cleared a little, Luxen glanced down below, and his eye widened and did a double-take.

He couldn't believe what he saw.

Luxen's mouth fell open in shock.

He had witnessed that the sturdy thick ice of the wide frozen lake was gone.

The effects of Luna's Archdemon magic felt like a silent denotation of a bomb. '

She had massed an overflowing amount of energy as its immense frequency had spanned the arctic surroundings.

Since they were near a frozen body of water, her Archdemon magic rapidly heated the ice and was distributed with a denser media.

It had absorbed more of that dark energy, creating more powerful shockwaves in his area.

Luxen had noted that important observation in just a short amount of time.

Luna had completely submerged into the blue water.

Luxen had flown far away, and it wasn't because Luxen had run away for safety from that unexpected explosion.

Luna had tried accessing the Archdemon magic alone without their Elder's guidance, at it had backfired.

Luxen had waited for a few moments for the fog to completely clear out before he descended slowly just in case there was an ancient demon under the deep lake that would jump on him and bite a piece of his flesh.

Low-level and middle-class demons can acquire Archdemon magic and more strength.

They could wreak havoc and do some serious damage if they had devoured even a tiny bit of tissue and drink their blood.

That was why fledging and mature Archdemons were so careful.

Fledging Archdemon like Luna shouldn't be left alone and unsupervised if they didn't learn to harness their magic and completed training with one of the Elders.

Archdemon magic was the most delicate and tricky to use, so the one who will access it needed training and enough supervision.

King Lucifer gave only a few people access to this dangerous magic because it was so potent.

It could destroy a universe if just a snap of a finger.

Destruction wasn't a necessary goal to an Archdemon King and the Princes of Hell.

They only wanted to own a larger domain, invading territories and Kingdoms with their power and ultimately defeat God and his Angels, ruling the entire Realm and gaining that notoriety as the strongest supernatural race that ever existed.

Nobody knew that Luxen and his Archdemon family had craved so much power because they didn't have any, nor did they had the power to control the other Realms in the current state.

They were stuck ruling in Hell.

Hell might have seven circles ruled by each of the Archdemon Princes, but it gets boring when you were stuck dealing with fewer options when it came to fucking females.

Not all female Archdemons and demons were beautiful.

It got boring sometimes, so Luxen had craved that variety that the other Realms could accommodate.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the power to cross dimensions and open portals to the other Realms.

They could only enter a realm when someone stupid and powerful enough had summoned them from Hell, striking a bargain in exchange for something that might benefit the demons more.

Sometimes, a weak soul can have the ability to summon them, but they were easy to break down and manipulate.

Needless to say, their body was easy to be taken over.

Archdemons could possess weak bodies for less than a minute, and they perish.

Possessing weak bodies from other Realms wasn't a fun activity and a complete waste of time.

Hence, an Archdemon needed to be summoned first and depend on their conjurer's ability before they could begin with their plans.

That's when the trickery, deceit, and manipulation came in.

The 'conjurer' usually believed that an Archdemon had bestowed their power on them, but in fact, it was the Archdemons who had done the bidding.

Archdemons could only persuade and use their manipulation tactics to gain power over the conjurer, and that was a secret not everyone who wasn't a demon was privy to.

That was why Luna was picked by King Lucifer as the portal creator because she had existed in between worlds—as a Vampire and an Archdemon at the same time.

Nobody, not even the strongest Archdemon King, had the power to conjure portals to other dimensions by sheer power.

Not even the Archdemon of Envy who had prided herself as an Ancient High Priestess.

Lilith had unwitting sold her soul to Ravin, the Archdemon of Gluttony, the first time she had summoned him.

By binding Ravin's soul to the Vampire King forever, Lilith figured out that she was the last sacrifice, which led to her death.

At the first meeting, the 'conjurer' had a little leverage than the 'summoned.'

Still, later, once the 'summoned' had taken root in their mind, body, and soul through the contract, they will start to slowly steal the 'conjurer's life force' like a parasite, cursing them and their descendants until the seventh generation.

Luna should count herself lucky that Satan had agreed to train her under his tutelage without any spoken bargains... but what did she do now?

She had ruined his Uncle's reputation when she was officially his student.

Honestly, Luxen wouldn't be shocked if his Uncle would come running to fix this chaos.

Rubbing the back of his neck in regret that his innocent kiss to his future Archdemon bride had resorted to this, he peered carefully into the water's surface.

Luxen didn't know if Luna could swim but it was obvious that she didn't.

She hadn't shown up and had broken into the surface of the water as he waited.

Speaking of the Devil, Luxen glanced up and saw the upper-class demon soldiers of his Uncle had descended from the green-purple skies lit by the Northern Lights.
