My Wives are Beautiful Demons

Chapter 56: It's going to be a long day



"We should probably head back before your mother starts getting irritated…" Novah murmured after being bombarded with the pent-up frustration from both Vergil and Katharina.

Well... they had a point.

Just when they were about to fulfill Katharina's dream, Novah interrupted them!

"Lady Sapphyre… I hate dealing with that woman more than I hate my own mother... It amazes me she hasn't tried to force us to train again yet," Roxanne muttered, feeling a shiver run down her spine.

"The last time…" Ada murmured, also wearing a worried expression.

"Oh, stop being so lazy, it wasn't that bad!" Katharina exclaimed, looking at them, but deep down, she was holding back a laugh.

"Oh yeah, I remember that summer... Lady Sapphyre cut off both of Lady Roxanne's legs because she wanted to eat too many sweets," Novah said, stroking her chin thoughtfully.

"Oh right, and Lady Ada lost one of her arms too. She said you have to learn how to fight with both arms, so she took one to help Ada learn," Novah continued with a smile.

"That woman…" Vergil muttered, mildly irritated. "A Spartan!" he said, and all of them nodded in agreement.

"I hate to admit it, but despite everything, that summer made us a lot stronger," Katharina commented, and everyone looked thoughtful for a moment.

"Well, we need to do something about Ada's mother, and we're going to end up having to train," Katharina continued, glancing at Vergil. "We need to teach him how to use all the abilities he inherited, but my mother wants him to perfect his body."

"Well, that's just how things are. Even if we wanted to teach him how we use our demonic powers, she wouldn't allow it. She's already accepted him as a disciple or something," Ada remarked as Roxanne continued eating her sweets.

"Now… we really should leave before she freaks out…" Novah said again, and everyone turned to look at her.

"You just want to try on your new clothes. Stop pretending," the four of them said in unison.

"R-right…" Novah said, lowering her head. "I'll go ahead. It seems like she won't stop eating… Deal with her." Novah got up, bags in hand, referring to Roxanne.

"See you later." She waved, leaving first.

"Ah~ come on, Roxanne, finish up already," Katharina said, watching as two donuts still remained on her plate.

A few minutes passed, and they finally left the establishment. Vergil took the lead, walking like a proper man, with Katharina and Roxanne behind him, carrying bags and chatting enthusiastically about the earlier teasing.

"So, where to now?" Roxanne asked, still a bit annoyed she couldn't eat everything she wanted, but trying to appear indifferent.

"Let's go back to my place," Katharina suggested, tossing her hair back. "Before anyone else shows up and ruins our afternoon."

Vergil called an Uber with the ease of someone used to avoiding problems on the surface. In minutes, a black car pulled up in front of them.

"All three of you in the back," Vergil said casually, opening the front door for himself. "I'll sit up front."

Ada, Roxanne, and Katharina crammed into the back seat, with Roxanne in the middle, throwing a suspicious glance at the driver, who wore a calm, serious expression.

Vergil quickly glanced at the driver as he buckled his seatbelt.

'Weird, usually these guys try to make small talk.' He thought. In this part of the country, people were generally quite chatty during rides... but then again, not everyone was like that, and it was fine!

The car began rolling down the street, the monotonous hum of the tires against the asphalt filling the awkward silence.

Everything seemed peaceful. Maybe a little too peaceful.

Feeling the tension in the air, Vergil leaned forward slightly, as if trying to break the ice.

But before Vergil could say anything, a sharp, searing pain pierced his chest. He looked down, his eyes widening in shock at the gleaming blade embedded in his heart.

The driver had turned, quick as lightning, and stabbed the knife directly into Vergil's chest.

"Vergil!" Katharina screamed from the back, while Roxanne grabbed Ada's hand, trying to brace for the impact that was sure to follow.

The car swerved violently as the reality around them began to warp.

A chilling sensation filled the air, and the urban landscape shifted, as if it were being torn away from the normal world by sheer force.

They knew this feeling all too well—it was the battle dimension opening up around them.

Suddenly, a deafening crash filled the air.

A truck came barreling from the side, smashing into the car with brutal force.

The impact was devastating, sending the vehicle spinning through the air before it crashed hard against the ground.

The car flipped several times, tossing the bodies inside like ragdolls.

Glass shattered into thousands of shards, and the airbags deployed with a muffled thud.

Vergil felt the blade push deeper into his body, blood seeping from his chest and soaking his shirt.

Katharina, Roxanne, and Ada were thrown around in the backseat, their cries of pain and frustration filling the air.

The car finally stopped, landing on its side against a concrete slope. The doors were crushed, and the twisted metal made it difficult to escape.

Vergil, in agony, grabbed the blade sticking out of his chest, blood pouring freely as he tried to focus. His eyes burned with fierce determination, and his body began to regenerate rapidly.

There was no time for despair.

Something much bigger was about to happen.

"Everyone... get out... of the car," he growled through clenched teeth, pushing against the mangled door with all his strength.

The others, struggling to their feet, quickly realized this was no ordinary accident.

Roxanne and Katharina managed to crawl out of the wreckage, with Ada helping to push the warped doors. Once they were all finally on their feet, they saw that the world around them had changed completely.

They were surrounded.

Hundreds of demons encircled them, their grotesque forms filling the area. The battle dimension was dark, the sky above painted with swirling black and red clouds, as if hell itself was watching.

Katharina scanned the scene, sighing in exasperation. "Great. I thought your mother would've had the discipline to give you some room to think before acting, but no, she decided to shove everything up her massive ass!" she cursed, furious with Ada's mother.

"Are these demons... her servants?" Roxanne asked, pulling out a blade she had hidden in her boot.

Ada, still panting and wounded from the crash, moved closer to Vergil. "My mother... she's closer than we thought."

Vergil narrowed his eyes. "Typical." MVLEmPyR-your-story-source

The demons started advancing, growling and laughing maliciously. Their claws and fangs gleamed in the dim light of the dimension, ready to tear apart anyone in their way.

"What are we waiting for?" Roxanne muttered, raising her weapon with a wild grin. "I've been waiting for a good fight!"

"Get ready," Vergil said, his tone cold and calculated, eyes locked on the approaching horde. "It's going to be a long day."
