《Awakening of a Monster》Chapter 21 - Day and Night Before the Training
Advertisement
After the small showing off contest Mia and Lilith put on in front of Amon, everyone went to the lake and had some time to relax and play around a little.
Realizing what she'd just done, Lilith seemed to withdraw into herself like she wanted to hide from Amon and the others for the slightly slutty actions she'd been doing for the majority of the time she'd been here.
Amon tried to speak to her but all he got were murmurs and whispers even his enhanced senses struggled to pick up and make sense of.
On the other end of the scale, Mia continued to try to get closer to Amon. He didn't particularly mind and let her do what she wants, she was her own woman after all. It was just that Amon found her actions a bit shameless and annoying and in the end he had to ask her to just stop.
That caught her off guard a bit as most men would love for a beauty like her to flirt with them but she seemed to forget that before Amon was a man, he was a Demon and a Dragon.
These 2 races are quite lustful and promiscuous but before all of that, they were things that cared about fighting and battle more so than that. So Amon, while he would enjoy women and sexual things, he knew when to enjoy them.
Right now, he was in a joint training program and he knew from the attitudes of the Classers there were going to be fights, later on, so he would rather relax now when he had the chance then to chase after some girl.
There was also the added fact that she was also a Classer and he didn't want to get caught with his guard down if all this flirting was for the sake of getting close enough to him that she could stab him in the heart and kill him.
'For the glory of the Classers, or some shit like that at least.'
Amon grunted as he let himself sink into the surprisingly warm water. Closing his eyes, Amon wondered about his cultivation progress. He'd hit a bottleneck of some kind and while he didn't have a concrete way of getting past it, he had a gut feeling that if he entered a big enough battle he'd be pushed past his limits and he'd be able to break through.
The problem was that this was easier said than done. Amon was quite unmatched among the current people at the training ground, his brute strength, and pure durability made it so he could manhandle most of the people here and even if they got a hit on him he'd be able to shrug it off.
Despite these facts, he knew Michael and the other SS class Students could give him a fight and they could even maybe kill him but he needs someone who completely outmatches the current him.
He wiped Jax, Molly, Mia and his Mom out of the picture because despite them being around the same strength as Michael and the others, he didn't quite fancy fighting against friends and family in a death battle and when it came to Mia it was more along the lines of he didn't know if he could trust her to actually help him.
As Amon continued to think about things he deemed "relaxing" everyone around him continued to talk and play around.
Before long, a few hours had passed out of nowhere and it was now around lunch time. Amon had long gotten out of the water and was lying on the ground with his arms behind his head and his eyes closed, he even had the barest tell of a calm smile on his face.

"Oi, bro, get up. The foods ready." Jax continued to lightly kick Amon in the side until the slumbering giant grumbled and stood up.
On the way to the BBQ, Jax looked at his closest friend. Despite Amon's drastically changed appearance, Jax could still tell this was his brother as he still hated being woken up just as much as he used to when the world was normal.
Hearing Jax laugh and looking in his direction, Amon grunted at him asking what he was laughing. The only reply he got was "Nothing, nothing, just remembering stuff~" which confused Amon further, all of his relaxation earlier being voided by his best friend.
Amon cracked a small smile as he thought this.
'Nothing's changed then, has it?'
Around this time, Amon and Jax arrived at the BBQ and were greeted by a massive feast. There were two different BBQ camps, with most of the Classers secluding themselves off from the Bloodline Warriors and the few Classers who seemed to be alright with the Bloodline Warriors.
Amon didn't really care and preferred this anyway, he really just didn't want to have to eat with people who looked at him with disdain in their eyes despite his early display.
Amon shrugged the thoughts out of his head and went over to pick up a few stacks of ribs, a few burgers, and a few hot dogs. So overall, the few things he did pick became a lot of things.
Most people who saw it were shocked at the small mountain of food on Amon's plate but they soon guessed it made sense as you'd probably need a lot of food to run such a big body.
Amon walked and sat down next to Lilith who seemed to have a small heart attack because of his presence. Seeing this, Amon guessed that she was still anxious about her actions earlier so he just sat there and ate his food in silence.
Time passed quite quickly as Amon ate, lay down and thought about things again and before he knew it, it was dark outside.
Looking at the clear skies full of stars, Amon felt that the world had a sort of beauty that needed to be protected. He heard the calm noises of the forest around him but it was occasionally interrupted by a roar of a Beast every now and again causing Amon to scrunch his face together in annoyance.
'And those bastard Beasts don't seem to respect that beauty. If I, a Demon Lord, adheres to it, what makes them so above it?!'
This was one of Amon's many reasons to hate the Beasts. They destroyed everything without discrimination and while Amon loved destroying things, he believed that it shouldn't be as so wantonly done as they do it.
Amon got up and shook his head. He walked to the cabin where the others were staying and went to his room.
He changed out of the swimming wear he'd had on all day and put some boxers on before getting into bed and attempting to sleep.
But much to Amon's chagrin, his enhanced senses were picking up a lot of nervous and heavy breathing outside the door for his room. Growling, a tired Amon stood up and trudged over to his door and swung it open to see who it was.
"Wah!" a small yelp of surprise sounded out from the heavy breather, as they fell back onto the floor.
Lilith had been wanting to come and apologize to Amon about her earlier actions but when she thought about knocking on his door at night, she couldn't help but remember some, weird things. So she got nervous and just stood there, forgetting that Amon could probably hear her outside his door anyway.

Amon looked down at the person with a wry smile on his face. "Lilith, why were you just standing outside my door? You know you could just knock, right?" his voice seemed quite gentle as he bent down and helped Lilith back up.
"I-I-I...I w-wanted to apologize about earlier..." her timid voice kept stuttering as she averted her gaze from Amon but still accepted his help to stand up.
Amon didn't quite understand what she meant. She hadn't offended him in any way earlier, so why would she need to apologize? Regardless, Amon motioned for her to come into his room and then closed the door.
"What did you do? I can't recall anything." Amon had a pondering expression on as he looked back in his memories.
He didn't quite understand what she'd done because her earlier actions when she was showing off her body and being incredibly lustful seemed normal to his Demon side, so he wasn't offended nor disgusted by them. In fact, he was impressed with her courage if anything.
Lilith and he sat down on his bed as Lilith brought her knees to her chest and put her head on them. "I'm on about earlier...when I was showing off my swimsuit to you...I came to apologize for acting so-so...so slutty." her voice was as quiet as a whisper toward the end of her sentence but Amon heard it all clearly.
Silent tears started to fall down Lilith's face as she thought about how Amon might be disgusted by her actions earlier and wouldn't want to be near her anymore but to her shock when she looked at Amon he had a gentle smile on his face.
Even further shocking was that he reached out his hand and placed it on her head, slowly rubbing and patting it as one would do to a dog or a cat.
"Why would you apologize for that, Lilith? I don't mind it because I understand it's your instincts making you do actions in a certain way. We both know how my instincts make me; a battle-crazed and muscle-bound idiot." Amon smiled even further, showing a smile with gentleness and affection which seemed misplaced on his devilish face. "Yet, you don't judge me. Not when I killed those Orcs or when I flip out and hurt people. So why would I judge you for your instincts?"
Hearing his words seemed to shock Lilith to her limits as she looked at Amon with disbelief in her eyes.
POV Change - Lilith
'Why? Why doesn't he hate me?'
Was all that would go through Lilith's head as she looked at the person she loved. She had fully prepared herself for Amon to turn his back to her and go toward other girls and part of her believed that would be better for Amon as that part of her didn't think she was worthy enough to be with him.
But all that preparation had led to her becoming a bit pessimistic about the situation and not factoring in that maybe Amon wouldn't hate her.
So right now she was shocked to the core because she'd convinced herself that she would be hated.
'How do I deserve him?'
Tears were pouring out of her eyes as she looked at the gently smiling boy in front of her. She felt a warm feeling in her heart, something that warmed her entire body and something that seemed to quieten the doubts she had about herself.
No, it wasn't that they quietened down. It was just something about Amon that made the cogs in her body continue to work despite her doubts. It was at this point that something just clicked in Lilith.
She realized she had to stay near this man.
Despite her Succubus bloodline that might make her seem like she'd be unfaithful, Succubi were actually incredibly faithful when they found a mate and Lilith now understood what that click inside her heart was; it was her finding her mate.
Knowing this, Lilith felt no need to hold back and smiled her heart out as tears of joy fell down her face.
She threw herself at Amon.
POV Change - Amon
As soon as Lilith smiled, Amon felt his heart go aflutter.
But something shocked him out of his love-struck state. Lilith had thrown herself onto him and in the process pressed her lips against his.
'Eh?'
Was all that went around in Amon's head as Lilith's soft lips pressed against his.
Before long, Amon got infected by Lilith's passion and he returned her kiss in full and then some. Amon's hands started to wander across Lilith's body, Lilith being like putty in Amon's hands by now.
Lilith lightly moaned as he brushed against her body. She started wiggling a little due to the teasing and this seemed to fuel Amon's desire to tease her even further.
As he continued to mess with her body, he traced his tongue across Lilith's teeth as if he were knocking on a door. And like when one knocks on a door, the door opens. Just like how Lilith opened her mouth and let Amon inside.
Despite his lack of experience, his instincts seemed to be pointing him in the right direction as Lilith kept moaning from both his teasings and him exploring her mouth.
After a while of this, their mouths separated and Lilith looked at Amon with her lascivious green eyes. When they went to go back in for a kiss, someone burst into the room. Lilith, like a deer in the headlights, jumped up and away from Amon as she saw who had come in.
Amon looked at the person who had a deadpan expression as they realized what they had just walked in on.
"O-oh, didn't quite know you and Lilith had gotten that far, bro. Haha...ha...ha..." The intruder was Jax and he'd come to ask Amon something but instead he'd found something and done something he really wished he hadn't.
An awkward silence pervaded the air which was only broken by Lilith shooting out of the room and Amon trying to stop her.
Now it was just Amon and Jax, with Amon glaring at Jax and Jax averting his gaze, whistling and trying to appear innocent.
"So, Jax." hearing the calmness of Amon's voice, frightened Jax a tiny bit but he still managed to put on his trademark smirk and reply in a carefree voice "Yeah?"
"What could possibly be that important that you'd burst into my room at night and interrupt me when I'm doing 'stuff'?" Amon slowly got up from his bed, the bedside table he'd used as leverage to get up having a deep hand imprint on it showing his anger and embarrassment despite his calm voice.
"Well, about that..." Jax let out a nervous laugh as he saw Amon walking towards him. "I was coming to ask, well, I was gonna ask if you wanted to spar but I guess you won't be in the mood to do that, so I'll go now. Bye!" Jax hurriedly said this as he went to leave but a big hand and a vice-like grip stopped him.
"Oh, a spar?" Amon's turned Jax around as a Cheshire cat-like smile spread across his face.
"I'd love to have a spar with you right now." Amon's voice seemed incredibly cruel at the minute and Jax knew he'd made a slight mistake. It also furthered his point about Amon not changing much because he'd always beat up people who made him embarrassed and he guessed he was about to be subjected to that.
He wasn't incredibly happy about that not changing, though.
