Jeno's POV

SMUT WARNING

☓

"Jeno, listen. For what it's worth, I'm sorry for hitting on Jaemin so much. I wasn't considerate of your feelings for him. I know that made you upset, and I'm sorry for that"

Ten apologized, as we flew to one of the farthest globes.

"...It's okay. I can't blame you for liking him. We have the same feelings for him, but in the end, he chose me. It only upsets me because you make him uncomfortable when you thirst after him like that. Aside from when you do that, you're a really cool guy. And who knows? Maybe Jaemin will actually consider you a friend if you finally start treating him like one"

I smiled, reassuring him.

"Right... I'm proud to be on the same team with you. And it's an honor to fight with you to save him"

"Likewise. I really appreciate your help in this fight"

We soon made it closer to our chosen globe, so we slowed down before we ended up crashing into it.

"Whatever we end up seeing or hearing, we can't let our emotions take over, no matter what. We can't risk losing this fight. If we fall under the pressure, we'll never save Jaemin"

"Agreed"

I nodded.

We entered the globe through one of the side openings, and quietly travelled down a dark and narrow path to the globe's core room.

The closer we got to the core, the more we became uneasy from the sounds we began to hear. There were two distinct types of voices that we could hear.

The voices of demon monsters, as well as Jaemin's voice.

The voices of the monsters sounded quite pleased and amused. However, the sounds that Jaemin was emitting were the complete opposite from that.

We could hear him crying and screaming, as well as him continuously gasping for air. We could hear him moaning too, but it doesn't sound at all like the moans of pleasure that I get from him wherever we fucked.

He sounds like he's in a lot of pain, like he's being forced and tortured against his will.

"They're breaking him..."

As of right now, I'm filled with both sadness and rage.

I couldn't stop myself from shifting into my Oni form. Knowing that he's in this much pain just makes me so angry.

"Jeno. Remember the plan. I'm really angry too, but we have to keep our cool"

Ten scolded.

"Right... Sorry..."

We continued to walk, until we finally found the core room.

There was a spiked throne at the far end of the room, and there was one singular guy standing a short distance away from it, along with at least five or six Demon Orcs surrounding the throne and someone else.

I know exactly what the Orcs are for and who they're surrounding.

Demon Orcs are known to be very sexual creatures. And their sizes are known to tear just about anyone apart. Along with that, they have a special ability.

If the person that's getting fucked by the Orcs ends up getting consumed by their lust and actually enjoys it, one of two things can happen.

That person can either fall under something called the Orcs' Trance, and become their eternal sex slave. Or, if the Orcs are under the command of someone else, that person will fall under a different kind of trance, making them attack their allies.

And I'm for certain that the person they're surrounding is Jaemin.

But, even if Jaemin has shifted to his Oni form unintentionally, it will be meaningless if he's not enjoying it. In order to fall under either trance, one has to completely accept and enjoy the sensations of the Orcs' power.

We finally jumped down from where we were, to get a much closer look and confront them.

When we landed, the guy turned around to face us while the Orcs ignored us, and he turned out to be one of the six ghouls!

And just like the ghouls we faced in Timbermount, he had only one ghoul eye. Just like they were, he's a One-Eyed Ghoul.

"So, you finally made it. My name is Im Changkyun, but you can call me I.M. It's nice to meet you both. I assume that you're Ten, the Incubus Boar, and Jeno, the Demon Prince of Gluttony?"

He had a strangely soft tone, especially for a ghoul.

Ten nodded at his question, while I focused my attention towards the Orcs.

I counted again and there were definitely six Orcs, and they were definitely surrounding Jaemin. But that's not all.

All of the Orcs had their loin cloths down to their ankles, and each of their dicks were erected and aimed at Jaemin.

I walked closer to them to get an even closer look, and thankfully I.M. left me be and fought with Ten. The closer I got to investigate, the angrier I became.

One of the Orcs was fucking him, or, raping him, and it continued to do so no matter how close I got. Another one tried to fit its dick in Jaemin's mouth, but it obviously wasn't going to work no matter how hard it tried to force it in. Eventually, it gave up and forced Jaemin to continuously lick it. Both of them held him up off of the ground, to prevent him from trying to get away.

Two more of them were on either side of him, stroking their lengths until they eventually came onto his naked body. His clothes were completely ripped to shreds and discarded. I wish that I would've thought to bring him some fresh ones...

The last two Orcs were behind the others, watching all of this unfold while they slowly stroked their own lengths, waiting for their turn.

Jaemin had shifted into his Oni form, but it wasn't intentionally. Since his sin is Lust, even though he's not enjoying it, his body reacts differently, as if it's enjoying it.

But since he's in so much pain and he's clearly not enjoying it, he's able to resist the Orcs' power completely.

And apparently, he got his wings too, but they were tied tightly together with ropes, causing him even more pain since he probably doesn't know how to make them disappear.

And, I was right. They are starving him. His hair is almost completely black, and his horn, tail, eyes, and wings were completely black. I could also hear faint growls coming from his stomach, which caused him to whimper more than he already was.

He eventually laid his eyes on me, and he suddenly started crying even harder. He looked scared, but also happy to see me.

He started struggling and reached his hand out to me, but one of the Orcs roughly pulled his arms behind his back. They were so rough that I could hear his arms crack, as if they had just broken.

This in turn caused Jaemin to scream and cry even louder, and he looked like he was on the verge of passing out. It wasn't until I heard him yell out my name that I had reached my limit.

-

The brown beads on my bracelet and Jaemin's bracelet suddenly glowed, and it was as if time had stopped completely.

The room went completely dark, and all that I could see was Jaemin, frozen in agony.

"So, you must be our descendant"

"Lee Jeno, the Demon Prince of Gluttony"

I turned around to find two demons floating off of the ground, both of which had a orange smoke emitting from them.

Wait...

"You're Jungkook and Mark... The first and second princes of Gluttony..."

They both just smiled at me.

"My full name is Jeon Jungkook"

"And my full name is Mark Yien Tuan"

"You're finally using your ability that we've passed down to you from the bracelets"

"Because of this, we'll always show up when you need this power, to help you, our fellow prince"

"I... I'm so honored to finally meet you both, somewhat in the flesh. Johnny-hyung and Jaehyun-hyung miss you so much..."

They both suddenly looked very sad.

"It was such an honor to have them as our King and Queen..."

"A day doesn't go by where we don't miss them too..."

I looked back at Jaemin, and my anger returned.

"We understand what you're feeling. My hyungs Namjoon and Seokjin were in love with each other"

"And BamBam and Yugyeom were in love with each other too"

"Just like you and Jaemin, they were inseparable"

"And to be apart was torture to them"

"...I love him so much. I need to save him, and keep Ten safe"

"That's why we're here. We never got to use this power, but now you can. It's your power now"

"The Power of the Glutton Centipede"

"Glutton Centipede...?"

I questioned.

"You're the next official prince, which means you have all of the power of the sin of Gluttony. However, that doesn't mean that we're completely powerless now that we're dead"

"Jungkook and I still have some power to help you, thanks to the bracelets. We can merge together and form the centipede, kind of like a spiritual demon beast that only you can control. We'll be able to take out the Orcs and I.M. in no time. Just one hit to each of them will do. You won't have to lift finger"

They explained.

"I really appreciate this you guys. So, how does the whole shifting thing work?"

"Easy~"

"Watch~"

They held each other's hand, and the orange smoke around them grew until it covered them completely.

I could see when they became an actual centipede, but then they started growing in size. Not long after, they stopped growing, becoming a humongous centipede that towered over everyone in the globe, even the Orcs.

"Waiting on your command Jeno"

They spoke, as the Glutton Centipede.

I turned back to Jaemin's direction, and time suddenly resumed like normal once the room lit up again. The Orcs and I.M. we're both alerted by the centipede, but by that time it was too late.

"Die"

In a flash, the centipede attacked each of the Orcs one by one with remarkable speed.

Not even seconds later, all of the Orcs were dead and disintegrated into dust. The centipede then made its way to I.M., and I did as well.

"Third Sin Summoning..."

I focused most of my power into my hand and arm, and it began to glow bright orange.

"Claymore of Voracity!"

Instead of my usual blade, I summoned a claymore to finish this quicker.

The centipede attacked I.M. and I finished him by slicing him in half, separating his top and bottom halves, making it impossible for him to regenerate.

"...One down,...five to go..."

He mumbled.

He disintegrated as well, but the dust flowed in quite a specific manner. It collected itself together and formed a stream, escaping through the same way we came in.

Before I could question it, time stopped and the room went dark again, and Jungkook and Mark changed back to normal.

"I haven't had that much fun in ages~"

"We should do this more often~"

They excitedly cheered.

I looked back at Jaemin who was laying on that ground, and my anger immediately faded into worry.

"Jeno. Go to him. We'll see you again soon"

"Just call on the power in the bracelet, and we'll be there"

They smiled, as they faded away.

Once they completely faded, the beads on the bracelets stopped glowing, and the room and time returned to normal again.

"Huh??? Where'd that huge centipede go??? Where did it come from anyway???"

Ten questioned, frantically looking around.

"That centipede...was Jungkook and Mark"

"What...?"

"They came to me when I activated the power in the bracelet. They'll show up every time I use that power"

"So, the other princes...?"

"They'll show up when the others use their powers too, but each power is different for each of us"

"I see..."

We both suddenly heard Jaemin cough, and I immediately ran to him with Ten slowly following behind me.

There were tear stains on his cheeks, and he was shaking. He was absolutely terrified, and broken...

"Jaemin... I'm here. You're safe now. Ten and I took care of I.M. and the Orcs"

I carefully helped him sit up, but he didn't say anything as his tears continued to leave his eyes.

Thankfully before we left to come here, I packed some human flesh for him to eat, since I figured that they were starving him.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out the appropriate amount that he needed. I helped him eat it, while Ten carefully untied his wings.

He quickly changed back to normal, his arms healed, and we calmed him down enough for him to change back to his regular demon form and make his wings disappear.

"...I-I'm sorry that I ran away. This is all my fault..."

He apologized.

"Don't say that. None of this is your fault. No one is blaming you for how you reacted. We're only worried about making sure that you're safe, and finally defeating Wonho"

I kissed him on his forehead, and he gently held my face and kissed me on the lips.

I lovingly held on to him while he deepened the kiss. But this time, I didn't sense any kind of lust coming from him.

This time, it was nothing but pure love, for me...

'We've finally found and secured a safe zone in the city. If any of you have rescued Jaemin, then exit your globe and look around for a bright light in the distance. We'll be waiting for you'

We suddenly heard Johnny inform us, causing us to pull apart.

Before picking him up, I put his bracelet on him like I was instructed to. I made my wings appear, and Ten and I flew with Jaemin out of the globe.

We remained close to the globe until we found the bright light that Johnny informed us about. As we flew to the light, Ten took care of the little bit of incoming ghouls that tried to attack us, while I made sure that Jaemin was safe.

He hid his face in my neck and held onto me tightly as I flew. He's still in pain, but I know that he's trying to be strong.

"...Jeno?"

"Hm?"

He suddenly kissed me on the cheek, before retreating back into my neck.

"...I love you, so much"

He finally confessed.

I felt a blush creep onto my face, knowing that this is the first time that he's sincerely said that he loves me.

Every other time he's said it, it was out of lust. But...now it's completely out of love and adoration. I've never told him this or acted like it, but...

I've loved him from the very start...

"I love you too, with all of my heart..."
