Villain Reborn: Netori Harem in an Erotic RPG!

87  Chapter 9: The Braindead Knight Is Coming

In the small inn, like always, Lucifer, Gwen and Lephalia enjoyed a delicious breakfast together while his strange mood from the night before faded thanks to Gwendolyn's skilled hip movements.

'Still today I have to go to the church. Let's hope there are no purists to cause trouble.'

He savoured a Cumberland sausage, the succulent meat soft and juicy as the hot meat slid down his throat.

That's when conversations caused his ears to perk up.

"Oi, did you ere' apparently that countess who became a knight crushed a goblin camp last night to the north.

"Really?"

"Apparently, they saved a dozen women from a cave in the forest..."

"Were they...?"

"Aye, it's a bit tragic. No man would touch them again for the rest of their lives..."

"Mmmm, a woman held by goblins is a bit."

His ears faded out the conversation as more tidbits of the female knight and countess sounded, which caused him to smile bitterly.

'It seems that she is coming sooner than I expected.'

He mused while eating the delicious breakfast, yet the cute humming of Lephalia allowed him to calm down, forgetting the stressful things and enjoying the delicious breakfast and the sight of her eating with a knife and fork for the first time.

'The way it slips in her hand is adorable. If only Gwen's foot wasn't stroking my thighs and crotch.'

Looking at her, he smiled bitterly as she became more active, her movements gradually growing faster and more intimate.

-----

Sitting in the carriage, Lucifer gazed at the tall church, its architecture not fully English, the colours white and gold and the smell of incense was thick and potent; both sides were protected by an enormous cavern wall rising 60ft into the sky, what should have made the cavern and passage dark, somehow ended up channelling the light making the church of Celestia brighter.

He walked in, and the beautiful stonework stunned him as he felt like he had entered a different dimension entirely; even though he knew that the outside of the church was simply a cavern with little natural sunlight, the inside was bright and pristine as the sound of hymns filled the air.

"More grand than the ones in my old world... Polished and cleaned well too."

Lucifer wasn't a religious man, even less so when he transmigrated.

But despite knowing that 'gods' existed in this world, he also knew they weren't true gods but rather extremely powerful existences that had mastered a certain thing beyond mortally possible.

Celestia, originally an elven priestess in her origin lore, raised the skill of her healing and holy magic to a level beyond possible upon reaching Demi-God status, then pushing further, killing, absorbing more Prana, she ascended and was given a rare chance to create this planet as a 'goddess', but in reality, she was just an extremely powerful immortal, elf.

Knowing that, he walked through the main church's tall double doors; the smell of incense became thicker and heavier as Lucifer noticed the beautiful decorations, paintings and sculptures that represented Celestia, some artistic and beautiful, others outright obscene with images of the woman lying on her back spread-eagle naked and covered only with a thin veil and cloth.

'Damn, if she was this hot, how did she remain a pure virgin until now?' He thought, feeling Gwen pinching his side, her eyes narrow with a playful look.

"Someone is jealous~." He whispered as he saw her cheeks flush red, pouting angrily at him.

"Not a single word. I'm the first girl, and you love me most, not some stupid goddess... right?

"Right~"

Entering the church and ignoring the nun's and priests' looks, Lucifer walked towards the main cathedral, where bishop Serena was waiting.

"Sir Lucifer, you came. I am a little surprised, fufu~ now let me welcome you well. Our Hero." The woman, wearing a beautiful white robe and a golden cross on her neck, bowed politely, her eyes kind and polite, her blonde hair tied in a ponytail with cute drill-shaped bangs dangling against her cheeks; her blue eyes gave off an enchanting gaze.

"Please come this way. Today, she is waiting for you, the holy maiden, Celestia, the Goddess of this planet." She smiled kindly, a dazzling, holy aura enveloping her entire being.

Lucifer merely nodded, smiling politely, but his mind was elsewhere, his focus already on the male priests pointing at him and Gwendolyn with their vile words towards them both.

"Do you see her face? Why is there an impure harlot in our midst!?"

"Not to mention that damned Serena saying a damn vampire is the new hero."

"What is Celestia doing? Doesn't she know trash like that deserves only death, not glory?"

'It's annoying; humans always say whatever they like, never thinking what it might do or cause the other person to feel. Especially online, so many annoying idiots... The priests are like that.'

Once more, Gwen's soft hand gently squeezed his hand, trying to alleviate his mood, as she could also hear their words.

Seeing Lucifer and Gwendolyn walk confidently and ignoring the priest's poisonous words made Bishop Serena smile.

'Well, ignore the bald, impotent men jealous of your looks. You are the Hero we need...'

She mused, following after them quietly, not even glancing at the priests but flicking her fingers as golden light shimmered before something happened.

However, the party was too far away to have any idea.

-----

Walking through a large door, Lucifer and Gwendolyn gulped, seeing the woman sitting on the tall throne-like chair, her appearance so stunning that Lucifer realised his heart almost skipped a beat.

She had long, straight, platinum blonde hair, her green eyes like a sea of emeralds, the crystal tiara on her head gave off a holy light, and her white silk dress was tight, showing off her plump breasts and curvy body.

'She doesn't look anything like the church's art. This is Celestia?!' Lucifer thought, not believing the elf sitting there was the same as that obscene elf that lay spread-eagled on the large painting outside.'

The moment they walked in, her divine eyes looked down on the two; the benevolence and holiness made Lucifer uncomfortable as her presence was a little overwhelming, but suddenly something throbbing in his chest, and the pressure rapidly became easy to handle, as if something in his body started devouring the huge amount of excess Prana she was emitting.

"We meet again, handsome vampire hero. How are you feeling today?" Her voice wasn't holy, seeming that she made an effort to make him feel comfortable as she shifted her body, the dress rubbing her plump butt and thighs sensually.

'Noticing it, isn't she playing with us?' Lucifer thought, annoyed.

"I am fine. Why do you ask, goddess Celestia?"

"Well, don't be so prickly; I need to carve the benefits of being a hero into your body and soul. Kneel before me. Fufu~ It won't take long."

Gwendolyn, not Lucifer, became upset as she saw her lover stepping forward and kneeling between another woman's legs.

Luckily the Goddess seemed to know and didn't take liberties to have fun, gently placing her palm on Lucifer's forehead as a golden radiance filled the entire room.

----

Lucifer gasped in surprise; the pain he felt in his head and body slowly faded, his body gaining an unknown power, his vision improving, his senses growing sharper, his muscles becoming stronger, and his constitution strengthening.

'So this is what Hero means... Does this mean my level isn't capped, or is it due to Celestia's blessing?' He wondered as he felt his body growing healthier, more powerful, and even his cock seemed thicker and larger.

'Damn, how is that going to fit now?!' Gwen thought, almost drooling at seeing his crotch growing more attractive.

The goddess, Celestia, merely nodded, looking at the status window in front of Lucifer with a smile.

"As I said, the Hero title makes you a little more powerful. Now you are a bit more durable and can use holy magic, allowing you to protect yourself and resist the corrupt members of the church."

"Hero Lucifer. This is the title you'll gain from me, and with it, the church of Celestia will provide you with everything you need."

"Oh? Even you?" He joked, smiling cheekily as Celestia blushed, shaking her head.

"Innocent children are so sinful. Even the Goddess Celestia is a target harem? Fufu~ such a bad boy, I might have to spank you."

"Hey! Stop hitting on another woman," Gwen pouted.

Celestia sighed, looking at the two teasing and joking around with her, showing a slight fear when looking at Gwen before her body flickered.

"Well, have you prepared yourself for your first adventure as a hero? I soon have to return to my post; it might be a long time before we meet again. Do take care." She said, vanishing like mist and smoke, returning to her position as a goddess, the planet's core.

Lucifer and Gwen only smiled bitterly, realising they had annoyed the goddess, not realising that Celestia left blushing and her panties ruined as the young vampire charmed her, a slight madness and bloodthirsty aura lingering about him, not realising it was his growing divinity hidden in the depths that charmed her.

A moment later.

The doors opened as a priestess came to Serena's side and whispered, "Bishop Serena, we have a problem! The countess has arrived and says she wants to spar with the hero."

Serena flinched, her expression dark as she gazed at Lucifer and Gwen.

'In the game, this happens, but the hero is too soft to beat her. Let's give her a good thrashing and make her obedient to me.'

Lucifer felt that since he was the hero, why not play with the heroines?

"Let's go, I'll fight her but in private where only me and she are present. Otherwise, we can't fight properly." A wicked smile on his lips, one that only the innocent priestess couldn't see through.
