Chapter 937: Oni No Hare
[Demonic Release] As Lunara said those words, the sky turned black as night suddenly emerged. The sun drowned beyond the horizon as Lunara's body burst into a tornado of demonic magic, shaking the ground and flinging the other three demon lords away like they were mere pieces of paper swept by the roaring wind.
Kayden's hair flung left and right with the wind as he sat motionless, staring at the arena with a serious face, considering whether it was best if he stopped the fight. A demon lord's release isn't something to scoff at, especially if it was Lunara that we're talking about.
Centuries ago, Lunara was wandering the abyss along as a newborn demon, a child with no past nor future. A spawn of demonic blood that was long abandoned after the chaos of the evil worms. Her clan of Moon Oni had all gotten wiped out, leaving her stranded, surviving by eating small bugs and hiding beneath the jagged stone formation of the abyss, hoping and praying none spotted her. Even the weakest of demons would be able to eat her whole in a single bite.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
One day, she heard a faint giggle behind some hills. As she desperately sneaked, crawling on the ground to see what was going on, she spotted her. A tiny girl with pink hair jumped from one jagged stone to another barefoot, but unharmed. The pink-haired girl looked human, but something about her seemed off. Her eyes burned with a strange pink demonic magic, and the vague outline of two more pairs of arms danced around her shoulders.
The girl stopped jumping and dancing, she extended her hand forth and called to Lunara, "A child of demons, blessed by the moon and cursed to wander alone for all eternity. Spinning in circles around its home..." Lunara was lost, she had spent over ten years walking in circles around her destroyed clan, unable to even find her way out of the harsh abyss.
The ground shattered behind the little pink-haired girl and a titanic black worm emerged, roaring as tiny maggots wiggled beneath its rotting skin. The worm's horrid maw opened wide, unveiling over a hundred layers of jagged razor-sharp teeth, spinning in circles like a grinder. The worm had no eyes, but its long tentacle-like sensors that emerged from its head like snail eyes wiggled, approaching the little pink-haired girl, drooling in hunger.
Lunara fell to her knees, the sheer magic rushing from the was enough to put her down, that thing could even eat demons' lords in a single gulp, the horrid monster that eradicated her clan. The devourer of all, The Accursed Black Worm of Death.
The pink-haired girl lifted her right foot with a smile, and stomped the empty ground down with an innocent smile, "STOMP!" She said with a cute giggle, and the massive worm behind her suddenly was flattened into a thin sheet of compressed flesh.
Lunara remained silent, unable to believe her eyes. She realized that it wasn't that the girl looked human, she seemed like that because her demonic presence was so large it engulfed the whole abyss, the sheer demonic nature of the abyss pulses across her. Those pink eyes, gentle yet destructive aura, the innocent child-like appearance with the kid's tendency for chaos and destruction, her voice, calling to those who were left orphaned and stranded.
The little girl standing before Lunara was the goddess of all demons, and destruction, and the patron deity of orphans. Kali the Destroyer.
Kali extended her hand to Lunara with a gentle smile, "Little girl, don't be afraid. It'll be all right!" She smiled and jumped forward, one step after another, she quickly reached Lunara and grabbed her by the hand.
"A lost little rabbit, blessed by the moon." Kali pulled Lunara to stand, "Follow it!" Kali pointed one finger at the black sky, "The moon."
Lunara didn't even know what the moon was, there was no such a thing in the abyss. "What is a rabbit? What is the moon?" She mumbled in confusion. One thing she remembers being taught by her parents was to never ignore the words of higher demons. Kali was more than higher ranked than her, she was their goddess and such a disrespect as ignoring her words could lead to her being squashed like that worm.
Kali blinked twice and looked up, indeed, there was no moon in the abyss. Her eyes started tearing up, and she rolled to the ground, crying and throwing a tantrum. As Kali cried and kicked the ground, Lunara stared with a baffled face.
Soon, Kali's cries grew louder and louder, the abyss started shaking, and a massive hole emerged in the sky, which was nothing more than the ground for the layer above them. That hole got filled with grey stone and suddenly started shining down.
Kali's mother died shortly after she was born, and her father Asura ended up dead later on. She wasn't left alone though, she was raised by two people, Amaterasu and Selune, the goddess of sun and moon. And she was far later adopted by Kayden who took revenge for her father's death.
When the little girl cried, her step-mom, the goddess of the moon responded and forced the birth of a moon on each of the abyss's layers. Lunara had been granted the blessing two of great beings, the goddess of demons Kali, and the goddess of the moon Selune.
As the dust cleared, the rabbit seeking the warmth of home emerged before Arad. Lunara didn't seem to change a lot, but what changed was enough to put Arad on edge.
Unlike before, Lunara now wore a pair of black leather panties, and her breasts were covered with a burning blue fire. Her legs had grown noticeably thicker, especially her thighs now had extremely visible and shredded quads and glutes, and a small fist-sized white tail adorned her lower back. The two small horns on her head have shifted position, growing large and black, one short on the left and one bigger on the right, forming the shape of a crescent moon cradling her long white rabbit ears.

The other three demon lords stared at her, stunned at the strange magic rushing out of her. All of them relied on their own demonic power and potential, forcing humanoids to sacrifice for them to grow even more powerful. Lunara did all of that, but she had something extra, something that all demons feared. The two tattoos on her shoulders, the black tattoo of a six- armed woman on her left shoulder and the white moon tattoo on her right shoulder, were divine blessings.
A demon lord blessed by not just one, but two gods wasn't something that any demon had expected to be possible.
Since demon lords kill each other all the time, most have taken the route of sealing their own power to keep their potential a secret. No demon lord was willing to show his release before other demon lords as that might expose their weakness, but Lunara stopped caring, what mattered to her was the man standing before her, the one she wished to be her family.
The rabbit has gone into heat, and she isn't stopping until she gets what she wants.
