Coming of the storm
Two months later
Demon Realm of Lescatie
Salvarision Castle City
"What… is this?" A short light-blue hair succubus hero had her face turn pale, filled with a mixture of anger, disgust and sadness. She slowly clenched her fist with a paper in it.
Her dark ruby eyes did not deceive her when she read Luciana's report. 'Pyrrhic Victory'. Among the 800 members of her order which Luciana brought along, 480 of them dead, 174 were seriously wounded, 14 were missing and the rest of them received no or little wounded. Not counting the witches from other Sabbath, 24 out of 55 are dead and 14 of them were seriously wounded. For those who were deceased, Luciana send out the letter to their family, not to worry about them as they went to a better life.
"Lord Governor Wilmarina… Please punish me for my incompetence." Luciana's body shivers in apprehension as she kneeled down and had her head face down. Luciana couldn't lift up her head as she was a failure during her expedition. She awaits the punishment from Lord Wilmarina.
Wilmarina rubbed her eyes as she found Luciana to be exaggerating on blaming herself.
"Please get up. I am not going to punish you." Wilmarina quickly forgives Luciana.
"Really?" Luciana blinked.
"Just listen to Wilmarina. She knew that it was not your fault that this happened." A female voice could be heard. Luciana turns her head to see a familiar face. She quickly stands up and greets her.
A long light-purple hair succubus dark knight enters Lord Wilmarina's office. She appears to be wearing a dark purple dress with a black cape behind her back. As she sauntered, she produced a mentor-figure aura in front of Luciana's eyes.
"Lord Vermut. It is good to see you. What brought you here?" Wilmarina welcome warmly her second-in-command, Vermut Rosnair. Vermut performs a quick bow before speaking.
"Lord Wilmarina… Please don't put the blame on her. Instead, you should an end to this rebellious group." Vermut point out the one is responsible for the mess.
"You mean 'The Brotherhood of NOD'? To be honest, I had never heard of this organisation. Even the time before the fall, I don't remember that organization ever existing. Just who are they?" Wilmarina becomes curious about this mysterious organization.
"That sounds troublesome, my lord. By the way, I did some interrogation on these rebels and it got on my nerves." Vermut expressed her frustration.
"How did it go?" Wilmarina asked.
"To be honest, it is getting nowhere. According to them, they worshipped their prophet known as Kane. Who is Kane still a mystery. All of them praised his name. Even if I asked them who is he, all of them claim that he is immortal. They said he was killed three times for over fifty years duration and returned back from the dead. And the most shocking detail, he is a human and in perfect condition." Vermut explained.
"WHAT?!" Wilmarina and Luciana were shocked about 'Kane'.
They never heard of this human before. Most humans will be rotting corpses if they return back to the dead.
"How long has he been resurrected?" Wilmarina asked.
"The last time is about a few weeks. But the longest time between his death and his 'resurrection' is more than thirty years. This is ridiculous."
Indeed it is ridiculous. Kane had some kind of godly power and yet he is a human appearance. Just who is he? Wilmarina is going to get a migraine after hearing the impossible claim. As much as she wants some answer from 'Kane', there are other important things to do so she quickly wants to change the topic.
"Besides this 'prophet', is there anything else about this organisation?"
"Well… This proves to be difficult."
"Why?"
"Truth to be told, they were uncooperative at best. When asked about their organisation, they were barbaric. They keep yelling most of the time that my eardrum almost burst. Cursing, swearing and threatening us while praising their prophet. Showing their aggressive behaviour is very common. The only way to calm them down is a swift stab on their vital area using our weapon." Vermut describes the rebel's behaviour toward her.
" WHAT!? Have you tried other tactics?" Wilmarina was astounding to hear.
"I tried everything. Seducing, bribing with gifts or offering the position. They refused but chose to stay loyal to their prophet. I had never seen so much determination, full of hatred and malice. I don't know what to do with them. Even our troops felt uncomfortable while having love (aka reverse rape) with these rebels." Vermut explained.
Wilmarina couldn't understand. Why did the rebels choose to resort to violence and malevolence instead of making love? Is this how Kane brainwashed his followers to the path of war and destruction? This makes the Brotherhood of Nod a dangerous threat to Lescatie. Wilmarina wants to get rid of these threats ASAP but she has no authority to execute them by herself. Killing is prohibited unless Wilmarina asks permission from someone higher than her.
Druella. The Fourth Princess of the Demon Realm. Mistress of Lescatie.
Wilmarina needs to have an audience with Druella tomorrow morning. She needs to warn about the more significant threat incoming.
"Although we can use a memory reading on them. Hilda will be perfect for extracting their memory so we have to wait for the result, my lord." Vermut said.
"Good. I am waiting for good news." Wilmarina happily replied. She quickly glanced at the window and saw the full red moon. How time flies pass.
"It is late. Before I go, anything else to bring out?" Wilmarina asked.
Both Vermut and Luciana shook their heads. This brings Wilmarina to smile.
"Well, then. Goodbye and good night." Wilmarina said and she left her office.
Luciana is about to leave when Vermut taps on her shoulder.
"Huh?" Luciana turn her head before she became terrified when she see Vermut's sadistic smile appear.
Both Vermut and Luciana disappear magically.
Undisclosed area
Vermut and Luciana appear. Luciana wondered why Vermut brought her to the …room when she realised something. Chains, torture chamber, whips and a large cabinet with… a lot of sex toys. Ranging from small to extra large, thick and long.
Before Luciana reacts, Vermut uses her magic and puts Luciana onto the device. Then magically cuff her hands and legs, and ground to the floor. Luciana's body lies straight as a board. Vermut cast her spell to make her belt disappear, exposing her ass. Luciana's tail was wriggling in desperation.
"What is this?" Luciana was scared. She struggled to get free from the device but to no avail.
"Well… Well… While Miss Wilmarina does not punish you, I will do it instead." Vermut giggled.
"Why?" Luciana asked fearfully.
"That's because these rebels frustrate me as I interrogated them for a month. These uncooperative barbarians made me lose countless nights. I can't even masturbate in peace. You should take all the blame." Vermut explained. She sees a special item and happily takes it.
"Now. Prepare to get spanked, you naughty girl." Vermut glee.
Luciana looks up to see a special item that Vermut holds. A long, flat and big area the item is. Vermut goes behind Luciana's back and gently touches Luciana's ass before lifting her special item.
"Oh… fucked me…" Luciana cursed herself before she screeched in pain as her butt going to be destroyed by the might of Vermut's fury.
Wilmarina's bedroom
Wilmarina returned to her bedroom, expecting to see his husband in her room. She saw a teenage boy, wearing a bathrobe sitting down on the bed.
"~ Elt. How are you doing, my darling?~" Wilmarina amble to meet her husband.
"Pretty good… It is good to see you." Elt glad to see Wilmarina. Both of them kiss each other before breaking away and Wilmarina sits and leaned on his husband's shoulder.
"What the matter?" Elt become concerned as he sees her being worried.
"I… I am having a bad day." Wilmarina doesn't want to bring up the matter.
"I see… " Elt didn't pursue it.
"You know… I need some daily 'stuff'." Wilmarina said bluntly.
Elt noticed Wilmarina's face turned blushed and her eyes stared at his penis. Sensing the warm touch from his penis as Wilmarina rubs his balls but he doesn't stop her until he feels… something erected.
"Oh… can't get enough." Elt calmly replied. This isn't the first time with his wife but his other six wives.
"Yes… As usual." Wilmarina becomes horny as she performs a handjob on her husband and masturbates herself.
"So be it. Claim your meal." Elt lie down on his bed.
"Thank you, my darling." Wilmarina thanked her husband and began to proceed.
Wilmarina kisses the tip of Elt's erect penis. She gently licked using her swirling tongue before she plunged deep and hard. Elt felt pleasure when Wilmarina sucks his penis. However, he did not know that his wife is a bit aggressive during her blowjob.
"Woah… Slow down. Ahh~" Elt can sense that it is too much for him to handle.
"~Mnn…" Wilmarina still continues to suck Elt's penis before breaking away.
Feeling desperate, Wilmarina takes off the top part of her leotard, revealing her large breast. She squished her large breast around Elt's erect penis and stroked it harder.
Elt moaned in so much pleasure as Wilmarina ' milked' his erect penis. It won't take long as its climax, spilling white goopy, semen all over Wilmarina's massive breast and face. Wilmarina lick a drop of Elt's semen and it started to excited her. She decided to up the game.
She 'magically' collected all of Elt's semen into her throat. Every drop counted. Nothing should go down to waste.
Furthermore, Wilmarina magically makes her leotard disappear, revealing her slender and voluptuous body. She could feel her pussy itching for her husband's semen. She comes closer to her husband's erect penis to her pussy, gently touching each other before taking a plunge. A very deep one. Her tail wriggled in excitement.
"I hope you are ready because it is going to… intense," Wilmarina warn Elt before performing sex on the cowgirl position.
"Ahh~" Wilmarina moan in pleasure as she allows her pussy to take a daring drive on Elt's erect penis. Wasting no time, she starts pounding on Elt.
"Mnn~" Elt could sense his wife's pussy getting tighter each time he fucked his wife.
"I know, my darling. More~ Ah!~" Wilmarina make a more lewd noise to arouse her lustful body. Each time she have sex with Elt, her mood improved a lot as he keep pounding his wife's robust ass.
"Mnn~ I am about to cum. Ah~" Elt could sense the climax is coming soon.
"Release your cum on me. Ah!~" Wilmarina embraces the incoming climax of her husband's semen into her pussy. At last, so much of precious Elt's semen into her womb. It produces so much cum that it overflood Wilmarina's pussy could hold, creating a wet and messy place on their bed.
After receiving so much cum, Wilmarina feels refreshed before letting her body rest on her husband's crest and cuddle with him.
"Are you feeling ok?" Elt asked.
"Felt better than before." Wilmarina felt satisfied before both of them are kissing each other.
Elt thought it is over after they were making love so he slowly close his eyes but realised his erect penis was still 'penetrated' onto his wife's pussy.
"Honey, want to go for a second round? Ho~" Wilmarina's lustful smile.
Elt give an awkward smile as he knew that it is not yet until his wife is satisfied with him.
Morning
Wilmarina woke up, feeling refreshed after having sexual intercourse countless times with her husband. Seeing Elt sleeping peacefully, Wilmarina slowly kisses Elt's cheek before leaving the bed and changing her clothing by flicking her fingers to 'magically' wear her leotard.
She would really want to stay with her husband but her duty call. She needs to have a word with Druella. Hoping Druella take thing serious about the incoming threat to Lesciate. She cast the teleport spell to travel to the royal castle.
Royal Capital of Lesciate
Royal Castle
It has been a year since the fall of the Theocracy of Lesciate. Once a mighty kingdom that boasted the largest and highest quality of heroes chosen by the priest of The Great Chief God to battle against the demon lord's army. These heroes, blessed with divine protection were the beacon of hope and salvation to all mankind. Unfortunately, there was a problem. Lot of.
Corruption. Huge amount of corruption.
Behind the grand and majestic buildings and districts lies a hidden dark secret. A large slum area within the capital. Numerous of their citizens had been heavily taxed by the authority. Instead of spending to good use, they spend on their own… individual conveniences.
Nobles exploit the poor and lavish on themselves. Ministers, aristocrats, mayors and priests accepted bribes to have someone ascend to a higher position and better pay which suck the coffer of the treasuries dryer than most deserts and weakened the authority. Easy prey for them to be recruited to their army especially the young heroes who were easy to manipulate and will not be questioned by the authority. But if they (heroes) were disobedient or too noisy, well… they have gone missing a few days later. Their presence's background will be removed from their existence. The authority will do anything to use deception and lies, just to have a clean record.
After the invasion of the demons, Druella transformed the majority of heroes and citizens into mamonos and incubi. Including the royal members, Francisca Mistel Lescatie and her mother Francia Reinel Lescatie were converted to mamonos. Even the mighty hero, Wilmarina Noscrim also fell to corruption and turned into 'Succubus Wilmarina'.
With the influx of mamonos coming to the newly conquered nation, the demonic energy increased exponentially. Any humans who enter the demon realm will soon be one of them. The leftover hero-raising facilities and churches were mainly converted into pleasure quarters for the entertainment of monsters and incubi.
Today, the 'Demon nation of Lesciate' are heading toward the golden age. It becomes the largest nation in terms of military prowess and economic powerhouse. Furthermore, Lesciate had friendly diplomatic relations with many countries either from the demon realm or human settlements thanks to diplomat Castor (an ex-king of Lesciate) and his wife, a Youko.
Those countries that seek help from Lesciate will be providing 'military forces on credits'. In return, Lescatie asks for alliances between countries and help in the development of its lagging industries, such as transferring technology or sending engineers from other countries to Lescatie to exchange experiences.
Their prized product is known as Druelite. Named after the Forth Lilim and founded by diplomat Castor. It was once a useless ore that can hold a small amount of mana and scattered it when a human or mamono touched it. After it was transformed, the useless ore become a valuable resource after absorbing the demonic energy absorbed strengthened this mineral and removed its limitations.
This red glowing ore has not only a beautiful appearance but also the ability to amplify stored magical energy. It is used as the main source of energy that solves various problems. It become a sought-after product to be exported to any demon realm including the Royal Makai.
Today, under the dark sky and calming atmosphere, Wilmarina arrived at Royal Castle. Unfortunately, her teleportation magic restricts her from reaching directing to Druella and its nearest place is the entrance of the throne room. She is hoping that Druella is not busy with her work but her hope diminished as she sees two roper maids standing behind the entrance and appears to stop Wilmarina from entering.
"I am sorry but Druella is currently busy. You have to wait for a while." A roper maid stops Wilmarina, denying her from meeting Druella.
Wilmarina immediately frown and cursed the bad timing. "So how long does it takes?" Wilmarina impatiently asked the roper maid.
"The earliest by after her lunch, my lady." The roper maid responds. She could see Wilmarina's frustration but it is Druella's order not to allow anyone to disturb her until afternoon.
Wilmarina shook her head and was about to vent her anger at the roper maid until someone call her name.
"My lord. Can I have a word? It is about that …security problem." A female voice spoke out to Wilmarina.
The roper maid felt relief as it makes her life easier as Wilmarina turns her attention to the mamono.
An alp advisor dressed in long sleeves clothes, tucking in a white shirt, exposing her large breasts and one button in it. Her mini shorts had her zip 'loosen' and her black knee-height boots. She also has a magical book, floating around her.
"Eva? What are you doing here?" Wilmarina is surprised to see her.
"You must come with me. It is going to be serious." Eva spoke in a serious tone. Wilmarina noticed Eva with a worried face.
"Alright. Lead me to this 'problem' of yours." Wilmarina accept to go with Eva.
"Oh. Right this way, my lord." Eva is glad to hear from Wilmarina.
Eva cast the magic to teleport her and Wilmarina to another place.
Royal Research Lab
"Eva, why did you bring me to this lab?" Wilmarina is curious.
"I need to show you." Eva still needs Wilmarina to see something in the lab.
"My lord. We are here." Eva lead Wilmarina to another room. A simple room with a white background and there are some items on the table. Upon approaching, Wilmarina is astounded to see what is in front of her.
"What is that?" Wilmarina turn pale as she stared at the thing.
A strange-looking thing. Look like a musket but it is a bulky and complex feature. Besides that, a small strange black metallic box contains bullets. Wilmarina is shocked to see there are so many bullets in a single box. A musket could carry a limited number of bullets and reload one bullet at a time. Wilmarina gently picks up the 'musket' and found it to be very heavy, unlike their own musket.
"Where do you get these things?" Wilmarina asked.
"These things were from the 'Brotherhood of NOD'. These men wore these 'rifles' to the battlefield or what I had been told by the gremlin. But however, there are more." Eva explain.
"More?" Wilmarina is confused but she turns her attention to the table and had her eyes widen to see that 'thing'.
Another strange-looking weapon is the same as the first but it has a simple design and two sockets in it on one end.
"According to the gremlin and sorcerous engineers, that… thing can break or knock off any of our shields from a distance. And also fired twice." Eva explained.
Wilmarina is in disbelief as these 'guns' can break any frontline formation. Continuing to look around the table, she sees a bottle with a mysterious clear liquid in it. The top of the bottle has strange clothes on it.
"This bottle is a weapon. Once lit and thrown upon the target, it… burn the victim and shield on fire. However, it also acts as a double edge sword because if the user is not careful with this, the user may burn themselves and backfire." Eva explained but in an uncomfortable tone.
"How do these people have such… advanced technology? Is there more of these things?" Wilmarina is terrified to see their arsenal.
"Yes and …no. These things were all the equipment that these men had at that time… But they have that thing that can outspeed our horses, had special armour and cause overwhelming damage." Eva said in a grim tone.
Wilmarina couldn't believe it. There are more? She thought.
"Show me." Wilmarina needs to know, eager to see that thing.
"Right this way…" Eva proceeds to lead to another room and Wilmarina follows her.
Another room
"We are here." Eva lead Wilmarina to a special room.
As Wilmarina enter the room, she sees a few gremlins were busying doing their chores such as fixing or upgrading their gizmos with variable gadgets and tools. It is very familiar to see that until she sees something that is out of the world.
Three unfamiliar types of equipment are displayed in a different section. All three of them seem to be big, appear to be damaged and operate only by a single person. A single gremlin dressed in a black worker jumpsuit (only the front exposed) is doing some research on these things.
"Oh crap. How did these rebels create this stuff? Did they…" A frustrated gremlin trying to figure out how these things work.
"Excuse me if you don't mind what are you researching?" Wilmarina curiously asked the gremlin.
The gremlin turn around to see her and immediately realised that she meet a powerful succubus in front of her.
"My lord… I… er…" The gremlin couldn't believe seeing Lord Wilmarina.
"Never mind the formality. Who are you and what had you found on these …gadgets?" Wilmarina curiously asked.
"I am Sabrina and it is… difficult to explain to you." Sabina introduced herself.
"Well, just say it briefly for me to understand."
"First of all, they seem like a transport with wheels in it but do not need a horse to move the transport except that big thing that used some kind of gears and belt. According to the report from other survivors, they claim these 'movable transport' ride much faster than any horses in Lesciate." Sabrina explained.
"Carry on." Wilmarina is eager to hear from Sabrina.
"But when I examined these things, it has some complex mechanics for these things to move. Nevertheless, there is something that keeps on moving."
"Moving?" Wilmarina confused.
"Just like mamonos need demonic energy or humans need food. Without it, it can't function properly."
"That makes sense…"
"However, these things operate a strange energy source which I still try to figure out it. Also…"
"Ok?"
"It may be this moveable thing's design become complex but actually, it is quite simple to create these. Some materials seem different as it appears to be not made of metal but something else. Flexible, lightweight and durable. Maybe they found a different source. There is so many things that I need to research. Fascinating." Sabrina explain what she had found on these things.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I am guessing these rebels could mass-produce these moveable things but in more advanced technology compared to ours. I mean… it is impossible to get these materials and produce them in our current state. They were WAY ahead of us. And …"
"?"
"It is hypothesis theory but I think these rebels were testing us."
"Testing? Why would you think so?"
"According to some report, some fireballs throw upon our troops and strangely Hilda couldn't detect these 'catapults'. From what I heard from them, these fireballs pinpoint the location instead a random shot. No catapults fire the shot accurately and at an extremely long distance indicating a highly advanced and dangerous weapon being used and we don't know their prowess. Another thing is these 'things' appears on the frontline within a short distance before our troops realised it. They could have some sort of stealth magic support them as I checked them (Scorpion Tanks) and found to have nothing related to the magic." Sabrina explained as she found inconsistent details about the rebel's technology.
Wilmarina immediate felt terror about the technology from the Brotherhood of NOD. She come to realise they were the dangerous foes that need to be dealt with IMMEDIATE. Not only they were antagonistic to them, but they also had powerful 'magic' and process technology muchly advanced compared to us. Who knew they had hidden forbidden weapons against us? Just thinking of these terrified Wilmarina.
"My lord… Greilia request that it required your attention in the hospital." Eva interrupted Wilmarina as she received a dire message from Medical Sabbath.
"WHAT!? What happen?" Wilmarina is a bit dumbfounded about Greilia needing for her presence in the hospital.
"I don't know, my lord but Greilia need you to see this in her hospital. She said it is very bad." Eva said in a worried tone.
"Fine. Tell her that I will be there an instant." Wilmarina bit her lips in anguish.
"Sabrina. Do more investigation on these things." Wilmarina gives her instructions to Sabrina.
"On it. My lord." Sabrina accepts Wilmarina's command.
Wilmarina gives a sigh and hopes that it is not seriously before using her magic to teleport herself and Eva to the hospital.
Royal Lesciate Hospital
Upon arriving at the hospital, Wilmarina is surprised to see the hospital full of patients. Mostly mamonos. The smell inside the hospital had an uncomfortable putrid air atmosphere. Their face turned pale and appear to be sick or weakened. Some of them display common symptoms such as coughing and headache. Others seemed to be having nausea and vomiting. A few of them had severe conditions that need to be put in ICU. Pharmacomancers and nurses try their best to treat them
Wilmarina is dumbfounded to see that it is abnormal to see a lot of mamonos in the hospital. She is not an expert in medicine but she could tell that this 'disease' is abnormal and could be contiguous and dangerous.
"There you are, my lord." Another female voice could be heard.
Wilmarina turns around to see a familiar appearance.
She appears to be a ten-year-old child. However, size could be deceiving as she is different from any human child. Her pair of short goat horns and ears covered her long black twin-tail hair. She wore long sleeve white robe and dress along with her got-fur legs with stocking in it. She holding a report with her flurry of animalistic paws.
"Oh hi, Greilia…" Wilmarina sees baphomet's emerald eyes to be a mixture of seriousness and concern which why Greilia need her.
"I need you to come to my office. There is some concerning news related to these rebels." Greilia wished to see Wilmarina.
"Is it ok to bring Eva as well? She too has something related to 'them'." Wilmarina requested.
"Alright, she will come but this matter is between the three of us." Greilia agreed. Wilmarina and Eva follow her to her office. They expected some bad news from this infected mamonos.
Greilia's office (Temporary)
Her office is spaciously and clean, filled with some medical equipment and potions. It is also neatly arranged and well organized with her findings and reports in her cabinets. However, Wilmarina noticed her paperwork seem to be increasing on her table.
"Please, take a seat." Greilia offered two seats.
"Thanks." Both Wilmarina and Eva accepted her offering and sit down beside Greilia.
"What do you want to see me for?" Wilmarina took the initiative to ask.
"I get straight to the point. First of all, these rebels did something sinister to our mamonos during sexual intercourse and I can't figure it out." Greilia bluntly replied.
"What do you mean?" Eva confused.
Greilia uses a special stone to display a showcase of a certain green substance for Wilmarina and Eva to see.
"What is that?" Both mamonos curiously asked.
"These substances were found in these rebels' bloodstream. It is not found in any database of any medical record, in other words, an unknown. It looks fine for these rebels but it becomes harmful when it comes to mamonos. We still study the effect of these toxins but for now, please suspend any mamono from any sexual engagement with these rebels (temporary) until further notice." Greilia explained.
"But why? Mamonos need spiritual energy to survive. Furthermore, I can't order my troops not to engage them. It is their choice whether they want to have sexual activity." Wilmarina couldn't understand Greilia's explanation.
"I can understand your situation but you have to. This concern the well-being of your troop and other mamonos. You may not like it but I could tell you it is getting worse." Greilia slowly takes out a report while explaining.
"How bad can it be?" Wilmarina said.
"For starters, they received a cough or a sneeze after a day or two from being infected. Then followed by a headache, backache and high fever for the next five days to a week. Normally, our magic or potion could cure these common symptoms. However, it came back another week later but even worse. Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and sudden chest pain and discomfort within three weeks since infection. If left untreated, their skin swells with green tumours, difficulty breathing and loss of consciousness… Possible death or comatose will occur." Greilia spoke in a grim tone while explaining the unknown toxin through the Projecting Mirror, displaying the effect of the infection.
"WHAT!? Are these so fatal? So how many of them were admitted and… dead?" Wilmarina was shocked.
"According to a recent report, sixty-seven cases were reported, five of them were in the ICU and it claimed six victims." Greilia brought out the grave news.
Wilmarina couldn't believe it. She never knew it could be fatal from having sex with the rebels from the infection that they carried. Horrified and distraught that these mamonos wish to find a husband and make love, only to die from the infection. How cruel these rebels are. Why would they do that?
"My Sabbath and I are doing our best of our ability to find a cure for them but it is going to take time," Greilia assured Wilmarina.
"I hope so." Wilmarina could rest easy as she trusted the Medical Sabbath to minimize the fatalility of these mamonos.
All of a sudden, a medical witch barge the door open without knocking.
"My apology, Greilia, we have a problem. A test subject attempted to escape the hospital." The medical witch informs Greilia.
"What? Did you know where he is heading to?" Greilia is surprised to hear.
"He is heading toward the garden. Our guards are chasing him right now." The witch tells her.
"Immediately send more guards to block off all exit points. We can't let him escape." Greilia instructed the witch.
"Yes, madam." The witch obeyed Greilia's order before leaving her office. Greilia is having a migraine. She needs to employ more guards to secure her test subjects in order to save the mamonos.
Wilmarina gets up from the chair and leaves the office.
"Where are you going, my lord?" Eva is concerned.
"I will capture him. Besides, I need to talk to him about his intentions." Wilmarina said.
Using her superhuman sense, it won't take long to find him.
Hallway to the garden
A young NOD militant, dressed in a hospital gown is rushing to escape the hospital, away from these lunatic 'little girls' and mamonos. He is hoping that he can rejoin his fellow 'brothers'. While running, he sees the door, thinking that he is free from the cursed world. What he did not expect to see was that someone had planned it all along.
All of a sudden, the militant received a blow from nowhere, flung quite a distance before hitting hard.
"Argh!" The militant screeched in pain. He tries to get up before a shadow figure appears in front of him.
Wilmarina's aura gives out a killing instinct while drawing her sword. She aims her sword toward the militant.
"Stop escaping. I am here to help you unless you choose to die." Wilmarina threatens the militant.
"You bitch! DIE!" The militant shouted while ignoring Wilmarina's warning. He takes a scalpel out of his pocket and charges toward her.
"So be it." Predictable. That is what Wilmarina thought. She could at least reason with him but she had seen enough of what these 'rebels' are capable of. Especially how these militants brought PAIN, MISERY and DEATH to her fellow mamonos.
Using her inhuman reflex, she easily stabs the militant's chest. While the militant is dying, the wound on his chest suddenly becomes solidly frozen and spreads quickly throughout his body.
"Any last word?" Wilmarina asked, coldly.
It is shameful to see a young man die so early until he says something to which Wilmarina is taken by surprise.
"I WILL ASCEND TO THE PROMISED LAND." The militant said his dying words before he completely froze for good.
Wilmarina widens her eyes and gasps. She felt a mixture of shock and awkwardness about the militant staying loyal to the prophet till his death. Her heart sinks in regret and sadness. The moment Wilmarina pulls out her sword, the militant's body is scattered into many ice rocks. Wilmarina wants to stay strong but seeing the militant's death reminds her of her dreadful past. She silently weeps while putting on a facade.
Two mamonos arrived earlier and witnessed Wilmarina murder the militant. Eva gasped in shock while Greilia shook her head in disappointment.
Wilmarina put back her sword and walked toward them.
"Look like I have to find another test subject." Greilia sighed.
"Lord Wilmarina… Are you alright?" Eva worried.
"I am alright…" Wilmarina assured.
"You know… Druella will be unhappy that you murdered the human." Greilia reminded Wilmarina of her action.
"Don't worry. I am responsible for my action. Anyway, I am about to seek an audience with Druella. Eva, come with me and Greilia, do your best to seek a cure for our people."
"At once, my lord." Greilia obeyed.
Wilmarina and Eva cast a teleport spell and disappear.
Two hours later
Throne Room
A long white hair succubus, sitting on the throne could rest easy after meeting with Wilmarina and Eva. At first, she thought they dealt with these rebels until Wilmarina warned her about the 'Brotherhood of Nod' a bigger threat to be dealt with immediate effect. Listening to Wilmarina's report tired her as she did not take it seriously and left a sour note. Wilmarina argues with her but she is the authority and makes the final decision. In the end, Wilmarina was unhappy about the situation and immediately left the throne.
However, she could not completely turn a blind eye to this matter as her squads of kunoichi reported to the princess that these rebels launched several attacks within her kingdom. She dislikes these rebels and the thought of them infuriates her. She thought of a great idea to dispose of them.
"Kirsch… You are summoned…" The succubus summons her champion. Assassin.
Within a flash, a mamono appears but she is special.
A young woman appears in front of the succubus. She ties a red headdress over her long black silken hair. She wore black armour with a red lining all over her body except her 'lewd' area. The notable thing is she carries a large and long sword in her left hand.
"You call… Princess Druella." Kirsch answered the call.
Kirsch. A Curse Sword. Dark Sword that Cuts and Binds.
"Hunt these rebels that carry the emblem of NOD. Make sure they must shower with our 'gift'." Druella commanded Kirsch.
"At once, my princess." Kirsch obeyed Druella's order before disappearing into the mist.
Druella could rest easy as it is taken care of. Little did she know that it is the beginning. Of a crisis in the future.

"With respect, commander but it is impossible to mass produce these bullets. We don't have enough resources." Someone spoke out.
Earlier on, Jamie Walton sent me a report: a prototype bullet. Codename: Wolf's Bane. Name after the poisonous flower. A bullet contains a very high concentration of the blue Tiberium. They had performed tests on these 'test subjects' and found them to be effective and deadly.
These test subjects were not ordinary mamonos. Capture mamonos from Lesciate. Fourteen of them. Two of them claim to be the Dark Hero, the most powerful unit that will be perfect for the experiment.
According to the report, all of them become weakened after receiving a small dosage of Tiberium. Their magic ability becomes less effective since the dosage. As drastically increase the dosage, their health deteriorates though these 'Dark Hero' seem to be resilient to the effect.
Result for two months test: Ten of them died while the rest of them clung to their life. As for these 'Dark Hero', only one still survive but weakens and barely used their 'magic' spell. The other died a few days ago.
I am satisfied with these results, however, frowned at the production of the prototype. At the current rate, the research team produce twelve of them. Barely not enough bullets to fit in the magazine, let alone fit into one or two pistol magazines.
It going to be problematic as our basic weaponry could not take down the powerful mamonos. However, we still have existing advanced weaponry at my disposal. I will use it in the future but for now, dealing with the powerful mamonos will be a concern.
Despite both subfractions unified under our brotherhood, both of them refused to share their particle beam weaponry with the main force. Vizer Galina felt militants need to retrain in order to increase combat effectiveness. The downside, it will take two years to be fully trained. LEGION require militant must be willing to sacrifice their body and mind to offset the heavy weight of their arsenal.
Another option is equipping all militants with a laser rifle. However, it is resource intensive and difficult to mass production due to its complex design. Still, the R & D department was doing its best to create and innovate new weaponry.
"I understand. Please inform me of any new progress." I said.
"Will do, commander." Jamie Walton said before switching off the LCD.
Soon after, I received a video message from the LCD, wishing me to speak to the person. I activate it.
"Speaking?"
"This is Exarch Madison Ross. Reporting that all aircraft are ready to deploy to spread the seed. Awaiting your order." Madison said.
Ah yes. I appointed Exarch Ross to handle the situation at these three islands. I thought it prove to be challenging since transporting our forces and resources could be ambushed by other mamonos during travelling. Fortunately, they didn't encounter any mamonos (yet) so it is smooth sailing for the past two months.
"How many?" I asked.
"Twelve bombers, commander," Madison replied.
"Good. You can launch it now." I give a green light to Madison.
"Affirmative. For Kane." Madison obey my order.
"LEGION, are all the bombers in our ready?" I turn my attention to LEGION.
" Acknowledge. They are ready and awaiting your command."
"LEGION. Show me all the nearest Demon Realms within our base."
" Acknowledge. Standby… Analytics completed." LEGION displayed the map on the LCD screen,
From what I know so far, this planet is five times larger than Earth in surface area. It is no wonder why the Royal Demon Realm is so deep within other demon realms. Also, it could have thousand of nations either from the Order or Demon Realm. So it is best to drop the seed on these nearby unfortunately demon realms.
"Beside Lesciate, five other demon realms were located within close approximately. Dragonia, Mist Continent, Polove, Al-Mar and Zipangu. May I give a suggestion on our plan?"
"Go on."
" Sending seed to AL-Mar is risky and ineffective."
"How so?"
" Their islands spread out too wide from each other. In addition, it requires more seedings than usual despite Tiberium transmuting water. My suggestion is to change target and focus on selected harbours to increase inflicting damage."
"Hmm… Fine then. Have it your way, LEGION." I accepted LEGION's suggestion.
" Wise decision, commander."
"Begin the seeding. I await good results." I give a wicked smile.
" Acknowledge."
By now, LEGION sent the co-ordinate to all pilots of their destinated drop zone while I sit back and wait for the good news.
Southern Eastern Region of Lesciate
Two honey bees are molesting the unmarried alraune's body to retrieve the prize: the nectar. The alraune blushes red and moans. It is a norm on a normal day in a peaceful world until they stopped to hear something… ominous and din.
They look up to the sky as soon as they hear it. Suddenly, something drop from the sky. Whatever is, it seem to be heavy. Upon landing, the earth shake violently and many birds fly away from the impact.
These scared the three mamonos as they could sense fear and despair. A brave honey bee decide to break off from the group and went to the direction of the impact. While waiting, they are unsure of whether to leave the area until loud screaming could be heard.
"Runn… *cough" A dying honey bee warn her fellow mamonos.
The other mamonos stumble in fear and despair as they see the honey bee's body is partially crystallised and coughing out blood. Out of nowhere, green crystal popping out of the ground in an insane speed. The other honey bee decide to abandon the alarune, fearing for her life. It won't take long before she met her demise as she unexpected did not see the green crystal popping out of nowhere, pierce through her chest while escaping.
The poor alarune couldn't even run away from these monstrous green crystals as she embedded to the ground. Although she could her magic for her to run away, it is too late as she could sense her life being leeched into the ground. Soon, she become sicken and fell dead on the ground while crystallising her body. Soon, the region will be overrun by Tiberium, spreading the toxicity and harming the environment in an alarming rate.
Polove
Elementalist Association HQ
Saphirette Sapherica is doing her paperworks as part of her duty. She reaches out to get a book but not using a normal hand, instead a black gloopy tentacles. Once she receives it, she takes her glasses and starts reading. She brushes off her black long hair away from her pointy ears. She wore a black long sleeve shirt with a special purple bow tie and a black miniskirt. She also wore black stockings and a pair of black shoes with a pink ribbon. She sat down on a large black blob that attracted her due to a special race: dark matter.
Four colour spirits. Enchanced with demonic energy.
Dark Ignis. The fire spirit.
Dark Undine. The water spirit.
Dark Gnome. The earth spirit.
And lastly. Dark Slyph. The air spirit.
All four spirit floating in the air, either playing among themselves or staring at the scholar's work. However, this change all of a sudden.
While Saphirette doing her work, she could sense something. Something terrify.
It start with gnome start to get sick. Follow by slyph, undine and finally ignis. Saphirette know that something wrong and she use her magic. What she found shocked her as she found the cause of the illness of her spirits.
Gnome sensed her lifeforce dying as it being leech of their nutrients.
Slyph sensed the toxicity in the atmosphere.
Undine sensed there was contamination in the river.
Ignis sensed there was no heat in the atmosphere.
Saphirette immediately use her Projecting Mirror to call her assistant.
"Miss Saphirette… What happen? It is still early." Her assistant confused.
"Call all members. Tell them it is an emergency meeting and I want all of them to be our HQ in an hour without delay." Saphirette command her assistant.
"But why?"
"Just do it."
"Alright…" Her assistant obeys her boss.
Saphirette could not understand what is happening but she need to find out why.

" All targets had reached successfully and were spreading Tiberium at an exponential rate." LEGION brings me good news.
"Now, we can wait for a good harvest." I am happy with the result.
I stand up from my seat and look at the LCD screen. The map shows the seeds are spreading much faster than expected.
"Grow, my seeds. Grow more for the brotherhood. For the glory of Kane." I laughed maniacally.
Royal Makai
Royal Research Centre
"Hurry up. It is going to close."
"Alright. Alright."
Both mamonos closed the lab as it is getting late. Inside the centre, there is a huge hemispherical state called the 'Celestial Sphere of Tryst'. Its purpose is to see the world of surrounding continents and islands.
Unknown to anyone in the Royal Makai, several green spots are popping out from the map. It becomes bigger as time passes. The world will start to feel the effect of Tiberium terraforming their planet.
