My Wives are Beautiful Demons

They headed to Katharina's house, as they had some unfinished business to attend to. Vergil and his beautiful wives found the place wrapped in an eerie, unsettling silence.

The energy in the air was different—dense, almost tangible, which made Vergil stop immediately at the entrance. His wives felt it too—something powerful.

'Tsk, that crazy woman… what's she up to this time…' Katharina thought, sensing the nearly visible energy coursing through the place.

Katharina was the first to push the door open, her confidence momentarily dispelling the tension. However, as soon as they stepped inside, they realized something was waiting for them.

Sitting casually on the couch, with a smile that radiated both warmth and menace, was Sapphire, Katharina's mother.

Her smile widened even further when she saw Vergil, her eyes scanning him from head to toe.

"Ah, my dear daughter has returned..." Sapphire said, her voice melodic but laced with a hint of sadistic amusement. "And the boy's stronger than the last time." She smirked mischievously.

Vergil, keeping his composure, merely raised an eyebrow.

He had felt Sapphire's power before, but now... this crazy woman was letting even more energy leak from her, enough to make his legs tremble for a moment.

His three wives tensed up beside him, especially Katharina, who knew all too well the kind of "games" her mother liked to play.

"You seem excited to see me, Sapphire," Vergil responded, his tone indifferent, but his words carefully chosen. Once again, he addressed her by name, showing no hint of fear. "I wonder why."

Sapphire rose gracefully, her posture almost predatory. She was a vision of pure majesty and danger, with hair as red as blood and eyes that seemed to hold all the wisdom of the world.

"Of course, I'm excited. I heard about your little feat... destroying a legion of demons with a single strike. Quite the spectacle!" Her voice dripped with sarcasm.

She began walking toward Vergil, each step on the wooden floor echoing like a drum, and her presence filled the space like a living shadow. Katharina, standing beside him, sighed, already predicting the type of "welcome" her mother had in store.

"But more than that, I felt... your evolution. The power within you is growing, Vergil. It's becoming something that even I find... interesting," she said, her tone playful and seductive, as she circled him like a huntress sizing up her prey.

Roxanne, ever blunt, narrowed her eyes. "What exactly do you want, old hag?"

Sapphire chuckled, a low, sultry laugh. "Oh, don't be so suspicious, Roxanne. I'm not here to cause trouble... well, not much. It's not every day someone grows this much in such a short time." She teased.

'DAMN IT! NOT AGAIN!'

Vergil, still calm, responded, "Are you testing me, Sapphire?"

She stopped right in front of him, so close that he could feel the heat radiating from her. Her smile widened, and her eyes sparkled with a dangerous glint of curiosity. "Maybe a little. I want to see how far you can go, Vergil. I want to see if you truly deserve to be by my daughter's side."

"You're never going to stop with this, are you, Mom?" Katharina groaned, crossing her arms. "Vergil's already proven he's more than strong enough. You don't need to keep playing these games."

Sapphire cast a quick glance at her daughter but soon returned her attention to Vergil. "It's not just about strength, Katharina. It's about... potential. And I like to challenge those who have potential."

Vergil remained unshaken. He had faced much greater challenges, and something about Sapphire's presence intrigued him, though it did not intimidate him. "If you want to test me, go ahead. I won't back down."

Sapphire's eyes gleamed with excitement. She raised a hand gently, as if about to touch his face, but before she could, a dark aura began to form around her. "Don't worry, it won't be a physical fight," she said with a wicked smile. "I don't want to destroy my daughter's house... again," she murmured.

"Ah, of course... I've finally made up my mind." She let a provocative sigh escape her lips and turned to her daughter with an irrational look.

"Yes, it's decided." She concluded, disappearing in front of the women, only to reappear in front of Vergil. With a simple gesture, she pressed her hand against his chest.

"I found your work very interesting, my daughter," she smirked mischievously as she placed her hand on Vergil's face.

"Cough!" He felt an immeasurable pain in his heart, followed by another wave of agony in his lungs. It was an internal, pinpoint attack, precise and definitive. Then... another attack struck his neck, and he lost consciousness with a snap of her fingers.

Everything happened so quickly that the three women couldn't even react.

"M-mom? Mom! What the hell are you doing?!" Katharina screamed in desperation, seeing Vergil's body turn pale immediately.

"Hey, you old hag! How dare you touch my handsome husband!" Roxanne shouted, her normally blue eyes turning completely black as the air around her grew thin, as if it feared the woman.

Realizing what was happening, Ada quickly transformed the entire house into her domain, conjuring blood from her demonic energy. "Release my husband, you old hag!" Ada shouted.

But of course, Sapphire ignored all the threats from the three women. She simply picked up Vergil like a large sack of potatoes and opened a pleasurable, sensual smile while licking her lips.

"I can't let him die just because your mother wants this marriage annulled, can I?" She smiled at Ada, who trembled slightly, her legs growing weak.

"I'll kidnap my son-in-law for both your and my own benefit, so consider yourselves lucky! I'm giving this little newborn worm a chance to become a butterfly in due time!" she said, her smile unapologetic, pure madness spilling forth.

"After all... someone has to take responsibility for seducing me, right?" she grinned from ear to ear.

"Huh!?" The three women exclaimed in unison; before they could do anything, Sapphire vanished along with Vergil, leaving them... unsure of what to do or say.

"I'm going to kill... yes, that's it... it's not my mother's fault... it's Ada's mother's fault... Yes... That's better, I'll just kill Ada...

Yes, after all... the dead don't marry, right?... The problem ends there... Yes, that's it!" Katharina began murmuring, her face displaying a mix of anger and despair, her hair covering her features, making her look increasingly frightening...

"Ow!!" She screamed, feeling a hard smack on her head.

"Focus," Ada said, pulling her back to reality.
