Chapter 8 - The Demon King Descends!

Skadi's words lingered long after she finished speaking, and Jax immediately used that as fuel for his training. With how sexy Skadi was, Jax was already imagining pressing that alluring woman beneath him and fucking her senseless.

His cock twitched in his pants every time that thought cross his mind, and from that moment, the pace of his training rapidly increased, the training domain becoming a battlefield as Jax pushed himself relentlessly, driven by desire.

Hours quickly blurred together as Jax training, practicing his Magic until he could cast dozens of spells with just a singular thought. He had read well over 75% of the Book of Sona, and was now extremely well versed in various forms of Magic.

His foundational understand of Magic had also rapidly improved. He dissected spells down to their conceptual foundations and improved them with his understanding, and now, just his words would incite power.

Simultaneously, he trained his body. His physique would always improve thanks to his Blessings, and the Primordial Incubus God Body being activated in this world. His Physical Strength was already monumental, and his technique was rapidly improving.

He trained with Crimson Maw, refining his footwork, fighting imaginary opponents, before deciding to summon constructs to counter himself, and then he split into clones and fought himself using them.

Each clone would learn its own lessons and once he merged with all the clones, all of that experience would merge back into him.

The 3 Goddesses would often drop by, with Skadi coming by the most to train with him, or observe and give him the occasional blunt critique to improve his skills. She never ever went easy on him, and Jax wouldn't have accepted it if she did.

Sona appeared less frequently, but when she did, it was to refine his Magic knowledge, while Lilith came the least, mostly just watching him training and cheering him on.

Eventually, time caught up and he needed to start preparing to head down to Terra. The practice domain dimmed slightly, mana currents slowing as the artificial sky shifted into a deeper shade.

He sat on a fragment of floating stone, Crimson Maw resting across his knees, head tilted back as he stared into the void above.

"Can't believe this is my life," he muttered with a faint chuckle.

Four days of nonstop growth had reshaped him fundamentally and made him a juggernaut. He was excited to battle the Heroes and crush them greatly.

As he was thinking of this, he felt some arms wrap around him from behind, accompanied by a warm, sensual aura that he would recognize anywhere.

"Lilith?" He asked, and he heard her alluring chuckle into his ear as her hands slithered across his body, running across his abs in particular to tease him as she pressed her voluptuous bosom against his back.

"The one and only," Lilian said in her classic soft but sensual tone directly into his ear, "You've done quite well over these past couple days, we're all impressed,"

"Thank you," Jax said, and Lilith chuckled in his ear, turning his face to force him to look into his eyes.

"I'll miss coming over and watching you training, but I'll be looking down at you from this Realm, and we'll be able to talk to you and even summon you here occasionally, although it would be temporary,"

"Then I'll be sure to keep you happy," Jax said, leaning in and kissing Lilith, his hand wrapping around her waist as he turned and pressed her beneath him, ready to rip off her sexy lingerie and fuck her when she suddenly stopped him.

"Not so fast my beloved King," She said, her tail slithering around his hand and pulling it away, "Although I'd love to be ravaged by you now, you're getting summoned soon, and I don't want to suck you dry," She said with a wink, standing up and grabbing his hand.

"Now, let's go, we've got all the summoning tools ready to send you down to Terra, and officially become our Demon King,"

Lilith didn't give Jax time to respond before space folded around them. The practice domain peeled away like a discarded illusion, mana rushing inward as the world inverted, and in the next instant Jax's feet touched solid ground once more.

This chamber was nothing like the open expanse he had trained in. It had circular walls carved from a type of Black Magical Material Jax didn't recognize, with crimson and purple lines of mana flowing through it.

At the center of the chamber lay an enormous summoning circle, dozens of layered magic formations overlapping in perfect harmony.

Skadi and Sona were already there.

Skadi stood with her arms crossed, armor absent but her presence was no less imposing, silver hair tied back as she stood opposite Sona, who had finished adjusting the last part of the summoning circle before looking at Jax, smiling.

"So," Skadi said first, breaking the silence, "this is it. Last stop before you hit Terra."

Jax looked around slowly, committing the scene to memory. "Feels heavier than I expected."

"That's because it is," Sona replied. "This chamber sits at the convergence of realms. It's a special zone with completely different Magical Laws, and once you step into that circle, you'll be sent directly to Terra, but don't think it's a normal summoning, you'll feel quite nauseous when you arrive most likely due to slicing through multiple dimensions,"

"As long as I make it in once piece, it's fine," Jax said, waiting for the signal to enter the summoning circle, but before that even happened, Skadi stepped forward with a commanding tone, "You should understand what you're walking into. The Demon Kingdom isn't what it used to be."

She gestured, and a massive projection bloomed in the air above the summoning circle. A continent appeared, dark lands surrounded by hostile borders, several regions flickering faintly as if unstable.

"This is the Demon Kingdom," Skadi continued, "Or what remains of its territory. The Divine Goddesses summoned heroes have been moving extremely quickly over the past 6 months and has pushed back our borders and destroyed strongholds,"

Jax's eyes narrowed slightly as he studied the map, looking at various geographic advantages and disadvantages in various locations.

"The demons naturally know you're coming," Skadi said. "Oracles have spread the word. Most clans will welcome you. They've been waiting for a king sent by us who can actually fight back. But not all loyalty is unconditional."

Sona took over seamlessly. With a flick of her fingers, the projection shifted, dividing into factions, "The Demon Kingdom is after all, made from a collection of races, so there are various factions, clans and alliances,"

Sona pointed at one faction as she began, "The Dragon Clan is the most powerful faction. They respect strength above all else, their leader will test you. There's also the Vampire fan, they're terrifyingly loyal, but mostly stay in their own territory,"

"The Demi-Human Clan answers to Skadi's domain. They are warriors at heart. The Ghoul, Ghost, and Lich Clans represent the darker races. Necromantic, patient, and slow to trust."

"Fallen Angels," Skadi snorted, "Arrogant as hell. They'll pretend they don't care, then watch your every move."

Sona nodded. "The Oni Clan values honor and combat. Dark Elves are my people and closest followers, they prioritize survival and territory. Treants guard ancient lands and will not tolerate recklessness."

She paused, then gestured to the largest portion of the projection. "The Standard Demon Clan governs the bulk of demonic races. Orcs, goblins, trolls, and countless others fall under their umbrella."

Lilith finally stepped forward, her voice smooth but serious. "They'll support you. The Standard Demons are loyal to me, and by extension, to you. My Succubus Saintess leads them now. The Nymphs and Witches will also stand firmly at your side."

Her crimson eyes met Jax's, "But the others will vary. Some will kneel immediately. Others will watch. A few will challenge you."

Skadi grinned fiercely. "And that's where your power comes in. You don't need to rule with fear, but you can use it when necessary. Show them you're not a symbol. You're the real thing."

Sona stepped closer to Jax, her gaze steady, "We need to present a united front to the Heroes and the Kingdoms funding our downfall, so you'll need to manage all these politics carefully,"

Jax exhaled slowly, absorbing everything, "Sounds like a mess," he said calmly. "But it's my mess now."

Lilith smiled softly, pride shining through her usual allure. "That's why we chose you."

The summoning circle flared brighter, runes locking into place as mana surged upward in a spiraling column of light.

Sona raised her hand. "The spell is ready."

Skadi cracked her neck, smirking, "Go show them what a Demon King looks like."

Lilith squeezed Jax's hand once before stepping back. "We'll be watching."

Jax stepped toward the circle without hesitation. As the light rose around him and the magic began to pull, he looked back one last time, eyes steady and burning with purpose.

"Terra's about to change."

The runes ignited, teleporting Jax directly to Terra.
