## Chapter 175 – Retribution
“Whoa! Wait, if I get too excited again…”
I was momentarily lost in the dreamy atmosphere Iria had created, but my senses returned. Even if this mountain was secluded, it was still just a small hill in the neighborhood. If I went berserk again, the sound might reach the village below.
As soon as the thought hit me, my hand moved to push Iria away, but…
“Ehehe…♡ It’s okay, I’m just trying to show you that it’s okay now♡”
Her face flushed, she gently wrapped her hands around my wrist and climbed on top of me. With a confident expression and tone, as if telling me not to worry and leave everything to her, she said, “It’s okay,” and reached out to take off my shirt and pants.
“Aha♡ Even if you say that, it’s super honest here…♡
So that’s what a real dick feels like, so hard and hot… It’s on a different level from the fake one I read about in my memories…♡”
She gently gripped my half-erect dick through my underwear, feeling the heat of the blood rushing to it. Iria, who was showing curiosity about ‘sex’ like a teenager, took off her pants. Then, she showed me the stain on her pure white panties, breathing heavily.
“How is it, can you see? I’ve become like this too…♡”
“…You seem too excited. Were you always like this? Calm down a bit.”
The current Iria was completely different from the Iria of ancient times, the human that Ian noona had shown me. In my old memories, and even until just a moment ago, she had maintained her composure, but now she was breathing heavily, soaking her panties with the fluids flowing from her pussy, even dripping onto the growing grass.
Feeling a clear sense of unease, I reached out to grab her waist to try and get her off me, but the moment my hand touched her.
“Ah♡”
“What…!”
As soon as the sudden warmth of my hand touched her waist, Iria let out a loud moan and hugged me. With her face buried in my chest, she calmed her rapid breathing for a moment before lifting her head.
“…Hehehe…♡ How is it? Are you still excited? Can’t you stand not wanting to pounce on me?”
She looked up at me with the same somewhat pitiful expression that Chae-yoon always had when she hugged me. The moment her burning red eyes met mine, my vision began to turn red as well.
“…No..! Get off me for a second, I’m going berserk again…! Huh?”
Just like when I had entered an excited state before, my vision turned red, so I pushed Iria away and blocked my shoulders with both hands, trying to calm the rising feeling as much as possible. I did that for about 10 seconds, and soon I was able to notice the changes in my body.
Unlike before when I immediately lost my mind, I was fine now. Rather, I felt like my body was overflowing with strength, and the senses that had only been sensitive were now normal. With the unusual change, my gaze naturally went down to my hands, and I saw a red light.
Red light. This light that was wrapping around my hands, my arms, my shoulders, and my whole body was similar to the blue and green lights I had used before, but it was shining in a different form. If the two lights I had used before felt like I had ‘borrowed’ them, this was completely mine.
“…This is my ‘color’…”
This red light was enveloping Iria, who was borrowing Chae-yoon’s body. Chae-yoon, who was ‘an existence separated from Iria’s original body,’ was being influenced by my power. Was that why Chae-yoon’s condition had seemed strange lately, because of this red power?
“..Hehehe♡ How is it? Am I right? Right now, you recognize yourself as the ‘creator.’
So your body, which knew itself as a human, no longer rejects that power.”
“…Is that so?”
My body, which was still mistaken that I was human, had rejected the power that had transcended humanity, and I didn’t expect that just by looking back at my existence once again, the control of power would become so easy…
Unlike what I had worried about, it felt like it had been resolved a bit too easily…
“Still, you saved me. Thank…”
“But… there’s one problem.”
Cutting off my words of gratitude, Iria came to me again and hugged me tightly.
“Fortunately, you controlled that power well, so I’m really glad…
But this child’s body is reacting to the power you’re emitting right now…♡
When I look at you now, my chest and inside my stomach feel all fluttery and tingly…♡”
The sweet scent coming from Chae-yoon’s body, a scent that was a bit different from usual, made my heart race. My already erect dick popped out of my underwear and touched her butt.
“Just, once is enough… With this, my inside… could you scratch it…?♡”
Her beautiful silver hair fluttered, and Chae-yoon’s smile was overflowing with sex appeal. I could no longer hold back the lust that was surging at her appearance. I grabbed her waist as she shyly pulled down her panties on top of me.
“Eh?”
I grabbed her slender waist with both hands and pulled down hard, inserting my dick into her honeypot, which was already fully prepared, in one go.
“…Ooh…♡”
Unlike her body, which was prepared for my dick that had suddenly visited her womb, Iria herself stiffened her back and tilted her head back. And as if welcoming the unannounced guest, she even scattered her fluids.
Her inside was, as expected, the same as Chae-yoon’s, but different. Of course, it was natural since it was Iria borrowing Chae-yoon’s body, but her pussy was incredibly hot. It felt like my whole body was surrounded by smooth meat walls.
“…Are you okay?”
Iria’s whole body was so hot that I thought it was abnormal. With a worried heart, I lowered my head and examined Iria, who was convulsing.
“…This, is what it feels like… I… haht♡”
She was smiling brightly, tears of pleasure and sadness streaming down her face. She showed that sad smile for a moment before lowering her head and sobbing quietly.
“…..Ah…”
I was about to say words of comfort to soothe her, who had suddenly started crying, but I felt like I shouldn’t, so I suppressed the voice that had risen to my throat. Then, I reached out and pulled her head, which was crying alone, and placed it on my chest.
“….Thank you.”
She trembled at my touch at first, but then quietly offered her thanks in my arms. Without answering her, I just quietly sat there with her in that state for a while.
“…This is what a happy feeling is like…♡”
I felt like I knew what she was thinking without having to read her thoughts. ‘Another version of herself’ who had lost all her memories and was resurrected in modern times by obtaining the bodies of human women. Those women were unknowingly drawn to the power of the man that their main body had loved in ancient times. That was me. And now, Iria, who was borrowing the body of ‘another version of herself,’ Chae-yoon.
The love for me that remained in that body and mind, and the lingering feelings she had for her past lover. The regret she had for a life that ended without being able to connect with her lover had now burst. The power of the King of Roots, Hir, inside me. And herself inside Chae-yoon.
…Thinking that it was fortunate that we were connected like this,
I hugged Iria tightly and collapsed onto the bed made of grass,
I decided to wait until she was satisfied, until she had completely shaken off her lingering feelings.
…
…
…
“…S, sorry…”
“It’s not a big deal, so don’t apologize.”
I put on my clothes, leaving Iria, who had her head down and couldn’t lift her face. The sun was slowly setting, and we had decided to go down the mountain before it got dark.
“…No, it’s something I have to apologize for. I was just seeing you as someone else.
I was venting the sorrow and loneliness of not being able to connect in the past on you…”
“I know, okay? Don’t worry about it. It’s embarrassing for me.”
“Huh? Huh?! You knew, you said?”
“Of course I knew. You suddenly started crying in the middle of it,
You were making a face that looked like you had a lot of stories to tell. I could tell without even trying to figure it out.”
Hearing my words, Iria stood there blankly with a face that was even redder than before.
“…Are you embarrassed?”
“…Yeah… I’m embarrassed… I want to die…”
Then, just like I had done earlier, she buried her face in the stump,
Iria, who was quietly muttering something. This is really funny.
While it’s funny, I should say that I feel sorry for her.
After Chae-yoon and I leave this place, will she be left here alone again?
“…You don’t have to worry about me.”
Iria, who had noticed what I was thinking, gave an awkward smile.
“Even though I’m lonely because I’m alone, this place is still a decent place to live.
Sometimes there are grandpas who come hiking, and I can look down at the village from here.”
“…Do you know that you’re making me feel even more sorry when you say that?”
I even felt sympathy for her, who was trying so hard to keep me from worrying.
It seemed like she thought that I would be held back if I stayed like this, so she was trying to get me to leave somehow…
“Isn’t it as simple as going together?”
“…Of course I want to, but I can’t leave here.
Even if I try to leave, I get blocked by something and can’t get out.”
Come to think of it, this place is the mountain where I was abandoned, and where the King of Roots disappeared as light.
Iria, who had been left with only her soul for some unknown reason and had traveled with him for centuries.
Is there something else left on this mountain, which is the end of that journey? Why is she here…
……
“…Let’s just try following me once.”
“Ah?! Wait a minute…!”
I grabbed her hand and ran down the mountain as if I were jumping.
The mountain wasn’t very steep, so going down was much easier than going up.
Passing through the trees that filled my vision and the grass that brushed against my legs,
Finally, I could see the exit from the mountain, the entrance where I had come in.
“Wa, wait! I told you I can’t get out!”
Reaching the entrance, Iria shook off my hand and shouted.
Rather than shouting out of anger, it sounded like a scream born out of fear of having hope that she could get out.
“…No matter what I do, I can’t get out of here. Look, if I try to go out…”
When she reached out of the forest, she was blocked by something as if she had touched a transparent wall.
She couldn’t get out even if she tried with all her might to push that transparent wall.
“…See? So I can’t go with you guys… Haha…
Oh, right, I’ll give this child’s body back now….”
With those words, I caught Chae-yoon, who was collapsing like a doll with its strings cut.
The hair of Chae-yoon, who was sleeping soundly, had regained its original color.
‘…But I hope you’ll come visit me sometime if you think about it!
Bring Lapus with you then too. We were pretty close.’
Iria’s voice, which sounded like an echo in the mountains.
The voice was gradually fading away as if she had finished what she had to say.
But I have no intention of leaving her like this, of leaving her alone.
“Wait, ‘come here.’”
When I reached out to the fading voice, golden power swirled in my hand.
‘Huh? Uh oh?! What is thiiiiis!’
A small white light particle that was getting closer and closer and being sucked into my hand.
Was this Iria’s true form? It’s small and cold, like snow.
‘Wh, what is it! How did you…!’
“Just be quiet and watch.”
I clenched the hand holding the particle that was talking to me.
Then, I put my hand on the transparent barrier that had been blocking Iria earlier.
“…As expected, someone forcibly blocked this.”
‘Huh…? What…? Who would do such a thing…’
“Can’t you guess who it is? There’s no way a normal human would do something like this.”
‘Uh, no…’
The transparent wall, I had no problem coming in and out, but only Iria?
What criteria are they using to block her? Even her in her soul state?
…There’s no way a normal human would do something like this. This is the work of another ‘creator.’
“…Well, if I get out of here, the other side will notice the anomaly and come first.”
I put golden power into the fist holding Iria.
Then, when I clenched my fist even harder, a red aura began to swirl as well.
With this, the other side will notice that something is wrong.
“Eusha.”
A transparent wall with a fist-shaped hole punched through it with a dull sound.
I twisted my fist to create a crack as if I were prying open the hole,
I cracked the crack that was cracking with a ‘crack’ sound.
The wall that had been trapping Iria disappeared so easily.
“Is this good enough?”
‘….H, how….’
I carried the sleeping Chae-yoon on my back, and came out of the mountain with Iria’s soul fragment in one hand.
A round moon and countless stars that cannot be seen in the city were floating in the sky, replacing the completely set sun.
“How’s the outside air after a long time?”
‘…….’
“……..”
I spread out my hand so that she, who had started sobbing again, could see the night sky well,
I still walked along the road with few people and came out to a large street.
…I wonder if there’s a bus left to go back?
