In-A-Gala-Da-Vida (Part 9: Vs. The Demon King's Daughter)

The room was quiet after Musume had yelled about the whereabouts of her father. There was a bout of confused silence as everyone looked between her and Jeronim to try and piece together what had happened.

All except two who were quietly talking to themselves behind an upturned table.

"H-hey, Aqua?"

"Y-yeah, Kazuma?"

"Can we c-call a truce until us and Darkness are safe from the literal final boss?"

"Yes, please."

After a quick handshake, the pair quickly ejected from the table and zoomed towards their fallen blonde. Aqua was already casting healing magic on her from afar to make sure she was stable.

Kazuma was scanning escape routes, possible exit plans, and all while keeping part of his mind on listening to what the main event was doing. Musume staring down and Jeronim gazing up to each other from their places. The room had mostly emptied. Just a few scattered male knights and some brave (yet naked) Harem Knights remained on the King's side. While on the ground floor still giggling to himself was the Daughter's strange blood red monkey monster in wrestling attire. Looking ready to get another attack ready for the King.

Without an answer, Musume raised her hand before her pet could attack again, and he stopped in his tracks before stepping back.

She snarled at the King, a cocky look in her eye, “You like? They call him the God of War and Wrestling: Baltazar. A fallen God that ended up in my care who just loves to beat up anyone I tell him to.” Musume explained, rapping her clawed fingers against her arm, “I was going to show him to my dad… any idea where he is?”

Jeronim just kept standing in place like the brick wall he resembled, and though he did permit one look back at his blonde saviour to see that Kazuma and Aqua were healing her, he quickly returned to glaring down the Daughter.

Before he could answer, one of the Harem Knights that had stayed behind yelled up at her, “The Demon King is gone! So just leave us alone!”

“I know he’s gone! I’m here looking for him!”

Mitsurugi, who had reclaimed his sword and some underwear, got a battle stance ready towards the beasts, “The King said he’s not coming back!

“The Demon King is dead!”

“Yeah! As you all should be!”

“QUIET!”

Their bravery ground to a halt at her ear piercing yell. Her eyes were wild with rage, almost all of it directed at Jeronim. “Dead?! You’ve been telling them he’s DEAD?! The Demon King isn't dead, he’s just missing!”

The room suddenly went silent.

All eyes turned slowly to the King. Betrayed feelings of hope crumbling to the floor as he looked rather sheepish for their brave and honourable leader.

“T-to be fair, I always just said he was gone…”

Hearts literally broke at his half-hearted chuckle. Jeronim may have been blushing in embarrassment, but everyone else was feeling the crushing hand of the Demon King around their throats once more.

“Stupid old fool!” Musume yelled, “I don’t care what lies you tell your kingdom! I want to know where my father is! I think you have him locked up in your dungeon, torturing my poor papa!”

Mitsurugi tried to go the more reasonable path, “What is the truth?! Perhaps we can resolve this matter before any innocent gets hurt?”

"Fine. You want to know what the truth is?" Hissed Musume, seemingly taking some level of enjoyment out of the discord she was sewing, "As best we can tell a few days ago the barrier around my father's castle went haywire. Overclocked. Instead of only letting monsters in and keeping filthy humans out, it stopped everything from entering. No matter what we tried I could not reach my father. Nor did he even seem to react to communications of any kind."

"Then... isn't he just still trapped inside?"

"Maybe! I wouldn't know because the whole castle is GONE!"

That sent the room into another gasping fit. Confused whispers all around while Musume just glared at the

"We have no idea what happened to the castle! We had assumed that someone had got inside and destroyed it!" The King admitted, "We investigated the site after the hordes had left it, but there was no sign of anything being there. Just a hole and some disconnected plumbing was all that remained of the Demon King's castle."

"A likely story!" She hissed with the click of her tongue.

"It's the truth, young lady!"

"SHUT UP!" She screamed, fire pouring from her mouth and smoke billowing from her nose, "You destroy our castle?! Then we'll burn this entire place DOWN TO ASH!"

Jeronim didn’t answer, instead bursting into a run and grabbing a large marble column that had been broken by the entering daughter. “My Iris…” He said while lifting the huge pillar over his shoulder with one hand, “...is TRYING…” as Baltazar swiped to attack, Jeronim leapt into the air and began spinning the column around his head in preparation to strike, “...TO SLEEP!”

He swung down with the massive marble.

The Daughter didn’t even try to dodge, keeping her face smiling the entire time.

Before the attack could land, a shadow darted from the large woman’s back and got between the blow and demon. Taking the full brunt of the swing on their shoulder… before Jeronim was sent flying backwards.

CRASH!

“Gahh!” He yelled, landing amongst the tables while clutching his shoulder in pain, “H-how?!”

“****. It’s a powerful tool,” Seresdina replied, landing in front of the daughter and brushing off the marble crumbs from her dress, “Any physical damage you land on me will only affect your body. Such is the power of my Goddess, Regina.” She chuckled lightly before looking around the room with worry. More and more guards were piling in from as the Harem Knights were leaving, “Though I still think this is a terrible idea.”

“Shut it, no one asked you.”

Baltazar slammed his hand into his fist, “Yeah, Seresdina! No one asked you! We’re here to SMASH IT ALL UP!”

The massive gorilla wrestler slammed his fist into a Mitsurugi that had leapt towards him, easily batting away the hero before punching a few more approaching guards easily. The daughter stayed put for now, growing the fire in her throat for a larger attack while her pet went wild. Seresdina stayed by her side to defend her, able to stop any attack that may come their way.

It was at this point that Kazuma decided leaving was the only option.

"How's she doing?"

"Stable," Aqua nodded, still keeping her healing spell on the **** Darkness, "Do we need to run now?"

"I'd say so."

They were getting ready to move, but it was an unfortunate third party that reacted, "W-what?" King Jeronim was still lodged in some tables and struggling to get up, "Satou Kazuma... you're leaving?!"

"No one's going anywhere!" Baltazar laughed maniacally, "I need to show off my muscles to EVERYONE! I'll start by killing the tough lady and the king!"

Kazuma and Aqua's blood ran cold. The large gorilla wrestler was also getting closer, giggling to himself with every step. If they didn't run for it they would be killed like ants by a boot.

There were very few options that didn't involve ditching them to die.

With fear in his heart, Kazuma noticed there was a single sword that had been knocked away near his feet. Shakily picking it up, the boy knew what he had to do.

“Aqua... get Darkness to safety, please."

"K-Kazuma?"

With all the courage he could muster, Kazuma rushed forwards and pointed the sword towards the God of War.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!"

“Okay.”

Then the monster took a few steps back.

This gave Kazuma great pause.

All his machoness had sort of deflated in the baffling scenario. In fact, most of the room was suddenly very confused, all except one.

“FUCK!” Seresdina yelled, clutching her hair, “It’s him! It’s Satou Kazuma! GAH I KNEW WE SHOULDN’T HAVE COME!”

Musume just looked at Kazuma in confusion, “THAT’S the guy you told me I should be worried about?!” She clicked her tongue, giving the naked boy a very unimpressed look, “I could crush him with my little toe!”

“Worried about me?” asked Kazuma, catching on to something strange. Lowering his sword, a cunning plan was forming as he could smell something to take advantage of.

“It isn’t HIM you need to be worried about!” The **** woman hissed, “It’s-!”

“Kazuma! I was masturbating naked outside like you told me to, but I heard an incredible noise! Is there **** that could be happening against me?!”

“...her.”

As a naked and leaking Divane had rushed into the room she was saying something rather lewd, but it was when she saw the massive wrestler that she tilted her head and said something rather interesting. "Hang on, aren’t you one of my fallen Gods?"

Then there was a strange silence.

Everyone glaring at each other’s eyes like the old western films Kazuma had once seen in Japan. Cogs whirring wildly in Kazuma’s head as he rapidly put the pieces together. Musume hadn’t believed he was a threat, but a massive burst of fear rippled through her spine at his growing smile.

They were afraid of him because of Divane. Divane’s abilities included being the power source for all Goddesses, including those that had fallen or become evil. Her own fall from grace, during when Sylvia had fucked her with Kazuma’s cock, had included a line in her long speech about how all the goddesses in her employment now… had to take orders from a certain grinning individual.

Like a man raising a loaded gun, Kazuma pointed to the Demon King’s Daughter.

“Get her.”

THUMP!

“ON IT, BOSS MAN!”

The halls of the King were instantly ripped up by a crimson fist slamming into the daughter.

“BALTAZAR! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DO-?! GAH!!”

She tried to yell at the monster, but he’d grabbed onto her waist from behind and German-suplexed her into the ground. “Sorry Ex-Boss! If I don’t take orders from my new boss then I lose my powers!” He explained while keeping her pinned, “I can't let that happen! My vow as the God of War and Wrestling means I will NEVER lose these muscles! HRRNNGGG!”

“FCKNG DIPSHIT!” roared the choked scream of the daughter as they crashed through more walls.

Leaving their third member to pull at her hair in frustration, “Grr! I told you to take him seriously, Musu!” Seresdina stomped her foot, “Now I gotta save your ass from your own fucking pet!”

“That won’t be happening I’m afraid.”

Seresdina turned, and gazed upon the ghostly vision of someone she truly did not expect to see. "R-Regina-san! My Goddess!" She fell to her knees, bowing at the sight of her idol. "To what do I owe this wonderful blessing?!"

"It isn't good news I'm afraid."

"FUCK YOU!" Musume screamed, slashing one hand down the arm of Baltazar's chest before roaring out a beam of fire towards his face that he barely dodged. "Is your loyalty so feeble that it can be swapped that quickly?! How DARE you even touch me with your filthy traitorous hands!"

Her attacks were wild and rapid, though the large god had enough defence to hold out with fists raised.

There was no opening to counter attack, and soon Musume had broken his guard with a slash long enough to send a flaming fist directly towards his face.

"Hup!"

"GAHHHH!" The demonic daughter screamed, stumbling backwards from the immense and unexpected blow. It hadn't hurt her, but Musume's confusion was far more palpable. "S-Seresdina? What are you doing?!"

A long sigh escaped her lips, brushing off the fire that had just engulfed her body, "...I told you we shouldn't have come here." She said with an almost apologetic look.

Rage was definitely building inside Musume now. "...you too, huh?"

"Take it up with Regina." She shrugged, getting into a battle stance towards the daughter, "Though, I guess you were right. The Gods really do hate you."

"GrrrrrrrrrraAAAAGH!"

Though it was appearing earlier than it should, this is what Kazuma would call a 'second phase'.

Musume's shadow began morphing with dark energy, surrounding and engulfing her body with pure anger. The relatively large corridor began crumbling around them as it struggled to contain the daughter's power.

Bursting into nearby rooms, all while her shape continued to grow. There was another name that Musume was known by: "The Dark Dragon Daughter". And while her small circle of friends teased her by calling her "Triple-D", it wasn't something they did whenever her form resembled the name. The shadow of dark energy had formed around her like a cocoon, creating the dark dragon she was known as. Her original body was still present, but covered completely by the roaring mass of shadow around her as it crashed its wings and burst fire from its head.

The main throne room that had held so many Harem Knights was a mess. Down one of the corridors the monsters raged, fought for their lives, with horrific sounds of battle so close. But Jeronim could not follow them, having to instead make sure all civilians had escaped before joining the fight. Soon it was just his most trusted knights, heroes, and Harem Knights.

"Kazuma, Kazuma! Can I go play?"

"Yeah, go knock yourself out."

Oh, and the very large blonde lady that Satou Kazuma had brought with him. Though she began skipping towards danger without a care in the world, almost looking rather aroused in her imminent **** battle.

The King was very happy that Satou Kazuma had decided to stick around. Iris had often spoken so highly of him, and now he could see why. His command of multiple deities was nothing short of miraculous, and he would be worried that his Kingdom would surely fail without the bravery that was on display by the adventurer. Jeronim knew in his heart that if there was any hope he had in defeating the Demon King's Daughter, it lay in Sat-

“Okay,” said Kazuma to Aqua, “You ready to run?”

“Eh?!”

The goddess was already lifting their defeated blonde in a princess carry, “Obviously. Let’s move.”

“W-wait!” The King exclaimed as the two turned their backs to him, “Are you not going to stay and help slay the Daughter?!”

They looked at each other, then back to him, perhaps the most in sync they’d been all night.

“What the fuck do you think we can do?”

“Seriously, Mr. King, are you an idiot?”

As the royal man was looking on in absolute stunned silence, Mitsurugi who had been standing nearby just growled in rage, “You two are the worst! The King is giving you an order, the ultimate order, and you ignore the call to action?!”

“Yes.” They both said together.

“B-but you control that monster!” The King gestured to Baltazar, currently wrestling with the daughter’s jaws, “Surely it will help sway the tide of battle!”

The brave Kazuma was getting annoyed that his escape was being halted, “I gave it an order to get the daughter, what else is there?! Either the order will stop and then that massive thing will kill me, or the daughter will win and then she’ll kill me! Lose, lose!”

"What about all the innocents still in the castle?!"

"Well go get them out! I have a very heavy blonde to escape with!"

Mitsurugi was about to yell even louder at him, but the King held his hand up. A stern look on his face, looking more disappointed than angry and almost making Kazuma crumble from that alone.

“I see there’s no reasoning with your fear. Go on, escape with Lady Lalatina." He insisted, and though Kazuma gave a sceptical look he still began walking away again with Aqua, "...perhaps my Iris was wrong about you.”

There was a growl before Kazuma stopped in his tracks.

He could feel that little bit of irritation he called a ‘hero’s itch’ that he so often easily ignored.

“That got you?!” Aqua yelled, similarly stopping when she realised his hesitation.

“No!” He barked, but still didn’t move. Even with roars and screams so close Kazuma didn't move. It wasn’t enough, Kazuma felt the need to run from the current final boss outweighed his desire to be liked by royalty.

“Give my best to Lalatina when she wakes.” The King continued over his shoulder, “And perhaps my goodbyes as well. If the Kingdom does fall here she’ll be happy to hear you survived the onsl-”

“ALRIGHT! WE GET IT!”

With a begrudging growl, Kazuma turned back around and stomped back, “Look, King Passive-Aggressive, if you need me here that badly then you take Darkness and get somewhere safe. I care way more about her than you.”

“I can agree to that. Thank you, Kazuma.” He nodded with a big smile. "I'll return as soon as I can! Please, do whatever you can to stop her rage!"

As Jeronim stepped forward, Aqua got on the defensive about the woman in her arms, “What?! I wanna run away-I mean, I-I need to protect Darkness!”

“Smooth, but no.” Kazuma frowned. Aqua passed over the limp body of his girlfriend to the King with a pout. Stepping towards Mitsurugi and Kazuma with slumped shoulders. Though he was too busy looking over at the roaring dragon with worry to notice her, “No way in hell I’m doing this without my revive button.” The goddess winced a little. While the King ran off down the hall with their blonde, the three stood firm against the monster.

With a smug frown, Mitsurugi looked down on the smaller boy with his sword clenched tight in his hand, “I’d have preferred less whining, but how fortunate we are that even you can do the right thing sometimes.”

Kazuma rolled his eyes at the sarcasm, “Bite my ass, M-bitch.”

“Y-you’re not even trying to get my name right!” The bigger man stomped.

And thus, the three of them stood against the rampaging daughter. Naked, near-weaponless, and completely dwarfed in size and power by the four godlike beings in front of them.

“...okay, seriously. What the fuck are we supposed to do?” said Kazuma as his shoulders slumped. “This is actually going to get us killed.”

Even Mitsurugi was having trouble rushing head first into the fight, though he still held his sword ready. Aqua was far more shaky, “Kazuma! I should hide, right?!”

“At this point it might be wise just so you can heal me when I definitely die again…” He sighed, "Fuck. Can we even hurt her or would we just be getting in the damned way?"

Their complaints would have probably continued, if they weren’t suddenly visited by the sliding body of one of the combatants. The much smaller Seresdina suddenly skidded smoothly across the marble floor to land by their feet.

Though she was hurt, the woman got up quickly and began to scramble back to where Divane and Blatazar were holding off Musume. But she was stopped by a Kazuma that didn’t let her get back up to join straight away, “Oi, you! Dildo charmer! You’re, like, on our side now, right?”

“Dildo ch-?! Oh god DAMMIT! I knew I recognised you from somewhere!” She barked back at him from the floor with a very red face.

The other man tilted his head, “What does that-?”

“NOTHING!”

Though Seresdina had yelled, Kazuma just giggled cockily, “Heeheehee~! I tricked her into blessing my dildo with the **** status. Told her I was a follower and wanted my ‘sword’ to match her **** theme or whatever.”

Seresdina had gotten up at this point to yell and stomp her feet, “It isn’t a THEME! It’s my entire Godly powerset! And you were the first follower of Regina I’d met that I didn’t have to trick into joining, so EXCUSE ME for being excited!”

“If it makes you feel better, Aqua and Darkness love your blessing.”

“I did! Getting to feel Darkness orgasm as she rammed the dildo-”

Seresdina slammed her fingers into her ears, “Gah! I don’t need to know the details!”

“Can we please focus on the Demon King’s Daughter destroying the Capitol’s castle?” Mitsurugi moaned.

Kazuma nodded, refocusing again, “Right, yeah. You’re on our side now, right?”

She growled, rolled her eyes, and folded her arms, “Begrudgingly. If I don’t side with Divane then my Goddess Regina will have to drop me as a follower. And since you control Divane, you technically control me by proxy. Though if Musume does kill you then I'll be free to join her and once more burn this castle to the-”

“Yeah, great. Now how the FUCK do we beat that?!”

To punctuate his point, the dragon daughter roared once more. Slamming her mouth into the arm of Baltazar, teeth tearing into his crimson skin before breathing fire directly onto his sizzling scars.

“You don’t. She’s unbeatable.”

The three all gave her a shocked look, Aqua began awkwardly laughing, “Haha… but, like, she has to be at least a little beata-”

“Nope. 100% grade-A unstoppable right now,” Seresdina repeated, giving a large frown over to her old friend. “I’m giving you the exact lowdown: The Demon King spent a LOT of his funds making sure his daughter would be safe. Forever. I’m not talking ‘she’s the strongest and is unbeatable’, I’m talking ‘she has equipped the perfect set of skills and magic items to make sure she is 100% unbeatable.’”

Mitsurugi was getting nervous as well now, “W-what does she have?”

“In her possession she has a few things. Firstly: Cursed Magic Anklet. Makes her completely immune to magic and ranged attacks in general, but will sap your health every second you use it. Second: Flask of Infinite Healing. As long as she drinks from it once a day, she’ll get a buff that heals her, you guessed it, every second.”

Their reaction was a collective gulp as Seresdina just kept going.

"Rings of protection here, magic regeneration bands there, I think she may even have a belly button stud that stops her from getting hungry. The only reason I imagine she hasn't wiped you lot out immediately before is that she gets very tired once she's done raging out in dragon form. But that's going to be about two days from now, so unless you like sleeping in a burnt castle, I suggest you come up with a better way to stop her."

Kazuma nodded his head, stepped closer to the woman and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"FUCKING HOW?! You JUST said it was impossible!"

"Kazuma! I just remembered I need to go and fix the mansion before Megumin gets home!"

"Wait, Lady Aqua!" Mitsurugi pleaded as she was already shuffling away, "We just have to fight together as one! Surely our combined might shall-"

"You, shut up, and YOU get back here." Kazuma snapped at the two, Aqua once more returning with a sad slump. In a fluster, Kazuma began slapping himself a couple times, "Alright, think! There has to be something. ANYTHING you can give us?"

Seresdina shrugged, "She has a mild allergic reaction to strawberries."

"If we get enough-?"

"Best you'd get is a rash on the back of her neck."

The three collectively sighed in disappointment. The battle for their souls still raged on, Divane was moaning and Baltazar was wrestling in the background, and while some knight had begun to enter the fray it was clear how outclassed they were. Nothing was working against the daughter's rage and it was only a matter of time before she overwhelmed everyone.

"...wait, so internal attacks could hypothetically work?" asked Kazuma, gears turning in his head, "Her stomach and other organs aren't invulnerable right now?"

"I don't think so..." said Seresdina while tilting her head, trying to remember all of the abilities her ex-boss had, "Too many things can go wrong with magic items that strengthen things like your organs. You ever see those guys who get drunk after having liver protection? They get so ill from being unable to process the toxins..."

"What about her pussy, is that protected?!"

The other three blinked, then gave Kazuma the most unimpressed look he'd ever experienced. Which is saying something for him.

"Kazuma... really?"

"You absolute simpleton..."

"Ugh, maybe I don't need Regina if this is who I'm protecting..."

Even with all their groans, Kazuma did not blink for a second and kept his determined rage, "ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!"

With a click of her tongue and a blush in her face, Regina was **** to oblige, "From what I can tell... no. But physical damage still doesn't affect her if you're thinking of putting THAT anywhere-!"

“Okay. Here’s the plan.” Kazuma ignored her completely to begin explaining, “I once managed to stop a charging minotaur woman with a single skill link attack. My cock had made a snake lady VERY happy and tingly, and during her big orgasm I connected her body’s feelings to the minotaur's. Everything switched, she fell to the ground in pleasure, like she had just been getting fucked by my cock too.”

Mitsurugi rolled his eyes, “Quit gloating and get to the point.”

“The point is obvious! I fuck Aqua, get her nice and juicy, then during her big climax we connect her body's feelings to the Daughter and knock her out! Would that work?!”

With a deep grimace, Seresdina just sighed, "I... maybe? Musume is a bit of a frigid gal, so maybe a big orgasm will slow her down... how big are we talking?"

"Oh the fucking biggest goddamn mind melting orgasm we can possibly make!" Kazuma loudly proclaimed, "My cock is the only thing that can make Goddess pussy more sensitive with every thrust! As long as neither of us cum, Aqua could hypothetically get the hugest climax in all of history!"

The roar of the daughter crashing through more walls... it made this plan being their best plan a little bit worrying

Mitsurugi wasn't disregarding it, but still wanted to moan, “Ugh, of course it’s an idea where you have sex…”

“Yeah it is! This is what we do now!” Kazuma was very much on board with his plan, “Harem Knights for life!”

"As long as I'm not the one you have sex with then I guess I'll support it," Seresdina shrugged it off. "What do you need?"

He pointed to the raging monsters, "Time... and a bodyguard." his hand pointed to a very unhappy Mitsurugi who knew where this was going.

But before he got the whiner on board, he had to talk to his other whiner.

Aqua was troubled. Looking rather worried about something, but not really wanting to explain what. Just staring off towards the fight with trepidation in her heart.

“Why don’t I just connect with her now then?”

Kazuma grabbed her hand, “I like where your head's at, but that won’t work. If she figures out we’re messing with her straight away then she’ll just hunt us down and kill us.” His voice was quite serious for a man wanting to fuck his friend, “Look, this has to be you, Aqua. Our skills are limited and our time is short. My dick makes you, and only you, more sensitive with each thrust. The one shot I can think of is having you hold off your orgasm so that when you connect with the daughter it is the biggest and sexiest Goddess Punch you got, okay?”

She shuffled a little on the bed, hearing the screams and crashes overhead and knowing that once again she’d be following this human into certain doom.

But maybe this was the chance to redeem herself...

“Um, o-okay… let’s do it, you stupid NEET.”
