Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

Chapter 115: Delinquent Pushes Himself To The Limit

Ryuji woke up in the middle of the night, his body wrapped by two beautiful women.

Erika became jealous of his romp with Yumiko last night and insisted on joining them. Now, both women were unconscious and covered in his seed. Like a ninja, he slipped from the sheets, his naked body swaying in the darkness before he wrapped himself in a thin robe.

Though it didn't conceal his hidden club, he seemed ignorant of that issue, tiptoeing across the floor before reaching the door.

He felt the slight cool breeze from the evening wind but didn't stop. Ryuji looked over to the two beautiful women sleeping in his bed without clothes. The sight made him curl his lips into a proud smile. His eyes turned to the door as he opened the cold handle with a click.

Slowly walking through the empty hallways, he crept towards the east wing of the building. He saw no one on his path until reaching the room at the end of the corridor.

This door led to the special training unit built by Alan. The reason he came here was because of a discovery Ryuji made thanks to the witch Velvet and his training prior to the duel.

I can improve if I train alone, to train my defences and defeat that woman I have to hurt myself and endure!

Since meeting Velvet, Ryuji burned with the desire to defeat her without having the witch hold back. This dream was far beyond his current ability, and he didn't pretend it wasn't.

That's why he placed his hand on the icy cold wooden door, sliding his fingers across the metal plate to open the latch and push inside.

He didn't turn the lights on and stepped into the training room after walking down several flights of curving steps, his feet slapping on the stone.

Ryuji arrived at a huge opening, a room which looked more like an ancient dungeon. The walls were lined with racks of dull knives and rusted metal tools that made his body shiver as he closed the door.

"Gotta turn on the light." Ryuji shivered as he took a step towards the light switch, his hands fluttering in the air while he tried to grasp the lantern.

*Clack!*

The room lit up with a warm yellow glow, giving the already creepy scene a scarier ambience.

Ryuji wasn't the type to be frightened by these things, however. In fact, when he looked at these terrible devices, he saw nothing frightening. He saw a chance to improve.

His eyes became cruel and twisted as he stepped forward, walking between the different devices and metal bars before finally finding something he liked.

"Hehehehe."

He chuckled as he looked at a huge pillar—the thing wasn't tall, but thick, roughly five metres in diameter. "that'll do!"

Ryuji ran his fingers across the surface, smiling at the smooth black steel before walking across the floor.

On a bench, he saw a bundle of bandages, white with slight stains on them, though he didn't mind. This world didn't have automatic washing machines just yet, so cleaning things couldn't be perfect. His hand grasped the slightly rough bandage and began to affix it to his hands and feet while stretching his muscles.

*Crack* *Crack* *Crack*

He took out the kinks before grabbing the leather wraps he'd prepared earlier. He wrapped the dull leather around his fists and tied a small knot with his teeth.

"Man, this is getting exciting," Ryuji said with a smirk as he walked towards the pillar.

I have to push my body to the limits; pain, exhaustion, and effort mean everything. That woman has already pushed me past my limit once; she's shown me the way forward. If I can endure this pain, I can see the path she is going down. That's what I can see.

He didn't slow down as he drew back his fist before punching the black steel with all his might.

*Deng!*

With a grimace, Ryuji bit his teeth. The pain that shot through his arm felt like someone struck him with a hammer, the aftershock shaking his bones, yet the feeling didn't come close to when Velvet snapped his bones.

"This will work!"

His eyes lit up as he drew back his hand for another strike.

*Deng!*

*Bang!* *Crack!*

*Ching!*

He unleashed a barrage of punches, some strong and others weaker, as he adjusted to the pain. Ryuji didn't care if he hurt himself.

A ripe scent of copper filled the room after ten minutes of training. Blood soaked the crude bandages while the leather wraps began to wear from his constant barrages of punches.

"Now, legs."

With a deep breath, his arms throbbed in pain, screaming for him to stop. This was the limit of his current body; thus, he took a deep breath and switched to his legs and feet.

At this moment, he removed the lizardman tattoo, which reduced the damage reduction.

He wanted to feel everything. To know what his limits felt like, before when the witch snapped his bones, he felt the pain reduced by half and couldn't fully withstand it. Ryuji wanted to withstand and counter without using the defensive tattoos.

There wasn't a naïve thought that tattoos were not his power; it was just his pride and will.

I must endure that woman's attacks! This sole thought drove Ryuji along as he lifted his leg and...

*Bang!* *Dong!* *Clack!*

Another barrage of strikes covered the steel pillar, each echoing with a bang that made it sound like a gong was being played in the basement.

Blood trickled down his leg as Ryuji punched and kicked for hours. There was no need for him to count since a gigantic clock hung on the wall, a single ticking noise sounding through the entire room as the seconds passed by.

*Ding!* *Ding!* *Ding!* *Dong!* *Dong!*

Five Chimes sounded in the morning, which meant it was time to stop.

Because breakfast normally started at seven, he would need to head back to the room with the girls and enjoy a morning bath together.

"Ugh..." Ryuji released a slight wince when he stepped back, attempting to leave the room. Agony and throbbing pains filled his arms and legs as if someone set off a bomb inside his hands and feet.

However... Ryuji still showed a smile because he knew this was the correct path for a demon while looking at the blue display hovering just out of eyesight and the beautiful voice almost identical to his mother.

[Congratulations, through endless hardships and practice, you have improved!]

Thanks to this, Ryuji realised that although levelling up was superior, there seemed to be an innate benefit to being a monster or demon. However, most demons and monsters lacked the intellect to train or rather, their pride would stop them from doing such stupid things.

Yet to Ryuji, it was like his mother's training just instead of a wooden pillar; he used a steel plated stone pillar.

"Let's head back... I hope they don't wake up."

He felt intense pain in all his body, yet Yumiko kept appearing in his mind for the past few hours. His heart and training allowed him to think of nothing but her...

In those thoughts, she remained stood beside him, her beautiful face more mature and womanly, while behind her back nine beautiful tails danced with delight.

I don't understand if this is an omen, or some kind of precognition.
