My Wives are Beautiful Demons

Chapter 104: He is strong

Vergil's eyes scanned the entire place, every lascivious intention and thought of doing something to his beloved wife, Ada, was imprinted in his mind...

"How many demons do we have here?" he asked, addressing no one in particular. However, one of the maids stepped forward and glanced around.

"Currently, there are about 439,000 common demons; they fill the stands from the first up to the sixth floor," she said, letting her eyes pass over the lower stands and slowly move upward.

"As for demons with noble titles or those affiliated with them, they number around 37,000. Finally, the upper-class demons count about 14,000," Raphaeline's maid answered attentively.

"Of course, there are also the special-class demons... but at the moment, I only see Runeas Gremory," she added, bowing.

"Mmm." Vergil nodded, "Good work. I see my Raphaeline has a fine servant." He said, glancing around without much concern.

"Huh?" The women heard this and all immediately turned toward him; even Sapphire looked at him with a furious gaze as he focused on the demons...

"Hm? What is it?" Vergil asked, unaware of what he had just said.

"My Raphaeline." Katharina repeated as she stepped closer to him, placing a hand on his shoulder...

"My dear husband... do you have a death wish?" Katharina asked, squeezing his shoulder as if she were giving him a massage, but her grip was firm enough to hurt.

Vergil looked at Katharina and gave a small smile, "She's mine... Didn't I say? I made a bet with her; she already lost."

"Oh yes, she's yours..." The veins in Katharina's head began to pulse. "Say that again... please," she said.

"I already said it, she's mine. She would give her soul to me, so that's how it is; if her soul is mine, then she is mine, right?" Vergil replied, a calm smile on his face as her grip tightened.

Suddenly, she felt an immense pressure, and an overwhelming sensation washed over her body. A cold sweat began to form as she slowly turned her face.

"I am still here. Do you want to turn to dust? I could kill you with a single strike, Child." Raphaeline spoke with a cold tone that sent chills down Katharina's spine.

"Do it," Sapphire interrupted Raphaeline's aura with her own as the tension in the VIP area grew heavier and heavier...

"And I'll erase you, your clan, your history, and all your precious swords," she added.

Raphaeline ignored the corrosive sensation of fear that clung to her skin and began amplifying her aura until it surpassed Sapphire's. Her eyes turned blood red, and a crushing pressure radiated from her body.

"Oh?" Sapphire smiled, watching her try to resist. "I am also a Demon Queen; stop acting as if you're invincible," she said.

"..." Everyone expected a fight to break out at any moment, but something happened that left everyone stunned.

Sapphire's pressure vanished as if it had never existed.

"Fufufu~ HAHAHAHAHA," she suddenly burst into laughter, slowly clapping her hands.

"Huh?" Vergil looked confused. "Oh..." he realized, 'Did she just grow stronger from that?' he wondered as he observed Raphaeline's aura, which had grown significantly larger.

Vergil simply displayed a broad smile on his face; he seemed satisfied with something.

"You saw that, didn't you? Fufu~" Sapphire asked him, as he continued to analyze the Demon Queen, his gaze delving deeper into the woman's form.

"Yes, Mistress. Thank you for the lesson," Vergil replied, smiling.

"Fuaa..." As the tension seemed to ease, Alice let out a breath she had been holding, placing a hand over her chest, as if it had taken considerable effort to endure what had just happened.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to shield you," Vergil commented, patting the little girl's head, who seemed quite worn out.

Meanwhile, deeper inside. "I'm glad nothing happened..." Viola's heart raced; she didn't want to witness two Demon Queens fighting, especially not so close—that was suicide!

"Don't even get me started... ever since this man showed up, everything's been a mess... I haven't been able to finish my drama yet... He broke the TV twice," Novah murmured, nearly in tears as she recalled the shattered TVs. "What were you watching?" Ei asked curiously... well, she was still a woman...

"*It's Okay to Not Be Okay*," Novah muttered. "Oh, the lead actress in that is very good." Viola remarked, "Yes, she's incredible."

Back to the general view...

"Darling~" Katharina had a silly grin on her face; she wanted to embrace Vergil, but that child! That child was stealing her spot!

"Ah..." Katharina let out a loud sigh. "I wish I could be more open to these things and obsess over something other than my husband... Maybe if I were addicted to sweets... I'd care a little less?" she murmured in frustration.

"Hm? Oh, yes, my apologies," Vergil said, and in a split second, Katharina found herself sitting on his lap without even realizing how she'd ended up there.

"Huh? How did I get here?!" she asked, startled.

"Isn't this what you wanted?" he replied.

And as for Alice? Well, after enduring Sapphire's overwhelming aura, she had no energy left! But with just a gentle pat on her head to calm her down, she fell asleep instantly.

"Zzzzzzzzzzz."

With surprising speed, he shifted Katharina and Alice around, so now the little girl was sleeping peacefully in the chair Katharina had been sitting in.

"Well, it looks like it won't last much longer..." Vergil murmured, as the time was nearly up.

A warm aura began to fill the air as small golden sparks rose from the floor to the ceiling through the glass of the VIP Room.

"Oh?!" Vergil's excitement flared as he sensed the aura, quickly looking over to see Magnus staring directly at him.

"...He's strong..." Roxanne murmured, appearing beside them as she finished her slice of cake, gazing through the glass.

"Well, of course. But, the question you should be asking is 'how strong?'" Sapphire said with a smile.

"..." Roxanne looked at the man again, scrutinizing him. "I feel like my mother is stronger than he is. And she doesn't even fight."

"Pfft... HAHAHAHAHA," Sapphire burst out laughing as if she'd just heard the funniest joke in the world.

"..." Roxanne gave Sapphire an expressionless stare.

"Your mother is strong, sure. But if you strip away the absolute power she has over air control, she's nothing but an empty shell. A woman who only relies on her powers isn't qualified enough to be called 'strong,'" Sapphire said, flashing all her sharp teeth as she laughed.

Roxanne fell silent, turning to look at her mother, who was still calmly enjoying her dessert as if she were in another world.

Roxanne couldn't argue against Sapphire's words. After all, she knew her mother had never trained in anything beyond her powers. Is she strong? Yes, of course she is; she's mastered her control over her abilities... But without them, she becomes useless. Like a mage who, if they lost their magic, would become a common person.

A few moments earlier...

As time passed and the two opponents had yet to meet, something was happening in a VIP room quite similar to the one where Vergil and his wives were.

"Tsk... what's taking so long... I want to meet this man," Runeas Gremory said, crossing her legs in a provocative manner. She was seated on a sort of throne.

She was a red-haired woman, just like Sapphire and Katharina, wearing a long, elegant black dress. Beside her was a woman in a purple dress with white accents.

"Why are you so interested, anyway?" the woman beside her asked, noticing Runeas seemed far more focused on the arena and the bride than on her company.

"Victoria... Why is a bloody armageddon happening just because of a wedding?" she asked, leaving the woman next to her momentarily speechless at the thought.

"It's not just a wedding, of course. It's direct interference. The Agares Clan, which has always stayed distant from the demonic world, has suddenly decided to create the grandest event of all time simply because... they don't want a woman from another family to marry?" Runeas continued, her eyes fixed on Ada, who looked extremely uncomfortable with the situation.

"That really is a good question, Miss," Victoria replied, glancing over at the man waiting for the duel to begin.

"What worries me more... is what he did to the girl," Runeas added.

"Huh? You? Worried about someone who isn't yourself? Jesus Christ! Today must be the day it rains in Hell!" Victoria exclaimed, stunned. But, seeing Runeas's serious expression, she quickly stopped.

"What exactly is your concern, Miss?" she asked, bowing slightly as if apologizing.

"Provocation," Runeas replied, analyzing the scene as a whole. "I already knew Magnus was an idiot, but this? This goes beyond that," she remarked.

"Hm?" Victoria didn't quite understand what she meant.

"If it were a one-on-one duel, Baal versus Phenex, I'd understand the provocation. But this is an interference duel, so it's not just Baal involved—it's Agares, the most dangerous faction in the Demonic World... This guy... is way too confident..."

"He's put her on a pedestal, a trophy, showcasing her to all eyes—even those who dream of doing unspeakable things to her—just to provoke his enemy..." she observed.

"This duel has already begun... this shameless fool is using the crowd to incite his opponent. In this situation... he's digging his own grave," she finished, just as a voice echoed from her pendant.

[You're absolutely right, that man is a dead body walking. Especially with Agares. Where even a malicious, lustful gaze can mean the end of an entire clan.]
