<h4>Chapter 226 - Light Me Up</h4>


    **********************************************


    The Archdemon of Lust


    Prince Luxen from the 2nd Circle of Hell


    ***********************************************


    It was Camio''s ultimate humiliation in front of his fellow henchmen as the leader of Satan''sw enforcement.


    Luxen regarded him with a sneer before he moved his gaze to his Domina who had floated away from Camio''s one arm as if she was a dead body.


    Luna was still alive and safe, and that''s all that matters.


    He didn''t have to fight and force the leader to relinquish his Domina.


    Luxen had nodded his head in approval.


    The leader was smart enough not to take her back in his remaining arm to spite him, or Luxen would have no choice but to strike his other arm again and feed them to his fellow acolytes.


    Luxen stretched his arms and waded in his Domina''s direction.


    Before he could settle his arms around her upper back and behind her legs to carry her out of theke and fly them back into the sled despite the hole in Luxen''s Archdemon wings, Luna''s whole body glowed into yellow, white and orange bursts of light like she had been set on fire.


    They watched Luna float in the water with her eyes closed and her arms stretched which were levelled to her shoulders.


    The light was so strong and bright that everyone in theke covered their eyes to block the hurting resing from her lifeless form, illuminating the whole vicinity.


    The orange mes hadpletely covered her like a cocoon of the butterfly and the rest of them with bated breaths.


    Someone from far behind murmured under his breath as he peered at her when the ring lights dulled.


    Camio''s second-inmand was courageous enough to voice out despite the debacle with their leader. "What is happening to thedy, Your Highness?"


    "My question exactly," Luxen said, peevish.


    He had nned to be patient with his Domina for a couple of weeks now, seducing her slowly.


    Luxen had been patient enough, but he couldn''t help but steal a kiss.


    Luxen was no longer in the mood for surprises in just a single night in just a span of a few hours.


    First, it was the Archdemon magic Luna had essed even if she was forbidden to.


    Second, the entire frozenke had returned to its original state.


    Third, Luxen almost lost the angel de.


    Fourth, He had to deal with Uncle Satan''s Henchman.


    Camio''s wrong decision might be to insult him, but that wouldn''t stop the bastard from taking Luna away.


    Fifth, now, what?


    Luxen had watched Luna faithfully like he was her guardian while she transitioned into an Archdemon.


    Luna didn''t know how fierce and loyal Luxen had taken that job as her husband or so he thought.


    Luna might not understand where he wasing from.


    Luxen was starting to fear that because, in her eyes, he had let her down so many times.


    Did he leave her vulnerable?


    Did she really hate him when she didn''t want to be touched even while unconscious?


    Perhaps, was she pretending she was unconscious?


    Luxen suddenly had the urge to beat himself up.


    Was he stupid to pick the angel de before his Domina?


    He had chosen the angel de for her to keep her protected while she hadn''t trained yet to be a strong and mature Archdemon, but he didn''t actually think that she would use it on him.


    For what?


    Stab him with the angel de and kill him for kissing her?


    So, it just made sense that he threw it away for the meantime!


    Who would have thought that the thick ice would crack and melt in an instant, sending it underwater?


    Wincing, Luxen had no choice but to let go of Luna because the moment his skin had touched her body, the skin on his arms burned like he had attempted to carry a huge block of burning cinders.


    Luxen''s eyes had widened as his head moved in a slow, disbelieving shake when he saw that the mes had enclosed her in a protective cloak.


    He was an Archdemon from the Second Circle, but this situation had confused him.


    Despite living in the ice Kingdom, Luxen was impervious to Hellfire as far as he could remember.


    Well, if she was indeed unconscious, Luna had firmly put Luxen in his ce with this unusual mes wrapped around her body in protection against—


    There was another blinding light that they were forced to move farther away from Luna.


    It was the type of bright light which prated the pupils, and all you see is white.


    She was transforming to someone else Luxen hadn''t recognized before.


    As she stayed afloat on the water with her face turned up in the night without a care in the world, Luna''s Archdemon wings ruptured into mes behind her back, and it was a unique sight especially in freshwater.


    The mes on her wings were simr to a phoenix because of its eternal properties.


    Every time Luna manifested her magic outside of her, the demonic runes stood stark on her flesh like they had been carved out of dark ink, gold glitters and red swirls.


    Luxen''s Domina had the power to protect herself.


    Did she even need him at this point?


    The mes surrounding her had dwindled in itsst dying embers.


    Now, the demonic runes Ravin had ced on Luna''s body slowly faded into her skin as they prated her pores, reced by the markings Luxen hadn''t recognized.


    They grew like vines of unknown symbols glowing in the dark as they mostly etched around her neck, her jaw, high around her cheekbones and the sides of her face.


    They were carved in a specific ink that can only be found in angel des to make it light up.


    The Northern Lights had disappeared, reced by a full blue moon.


    Luxen also sensed that theke''s water tides had significantly increased as they adjusted to the moon''s pull.


    He had theorized that this was also one reason why Luna''s Archdemon magic had manifested so quickly without proper training.


    Luxen had no idea, but perhaps, Luna had served a goddess before to acquire this power.
