Chapter 113 – The Hunt For The Saintess (1)
Thud.
“…Please.”
“Please… I beg you… Master…”
The sound of the blade sinking deep, and Seri’s words directed at me, ended, and for a while, no sound was heard.
It was as if my time had completely stopped.
Seri had pointed a blade at me.
The shock brought on by that single fact was clearly not something easy to recover from, but it also didn’t make sense to just stand there blankly all day with Seri in front of me.
So, the shock that had swept through my entire body subsided rather quickly.
In a way, it was a natural result.
Seri was a woman who had become indispensable to me, so it was important to resolve the question of why she had made this choice.
Perhaps because the situation was urgent, the answer came surprisingly quickly.
A conversation I had once had with Seri and Bell came to mind.
It was a conversation that had reached a relatively simple conclusion.
Aris, whom Bell had examined just before heading to my mansion, didn’t seem to have any intention of protecting the priestess Seri.
It was highly likely that she intended to use her solely as a tool for the Saintess.
If Aris had sent Seri to my mansion with that in mind, she might have placed a holy magic spell on her beforehand that would allow her to control her at will.
Seri herself had added that this was highly likely.
And so.
‘…But, Seri would never betray Master. So, if such a terrible thing were to happen, if Seri’s sword were to point at Master…’
‘Then, please kill Seri with your own hands. Seri… doesn’t want to be used by Aris like that.’
It had been very uncomfortable to hear her subsequent answer.
At the time, I had only wanted to hear a different answer, so I had given Seri an excessive amount of her favorite kind of gift to get the answer I wanted.
Perhaps I should have been a bit more alert back then.
But I had to finish things with the Archmage and Juliana, and after that, I had to uncover the secrets within the hero party that I didn’t know about.
I hadn’t been able to take care of Seri.
On the other hand, Aris’s reaction had been so lukewarm that I hadn’t even considered that she would try to pressure me in this way.
Anyone would get angry if their things were taken away, and Aris had had her Saintess’s mark taken from her.
I should have at least considered that she would do something.
If I had.
“Kill… me…”
At least I might have been able to avoid hearing these words.
“Please… pleeease… Mas…ter…”
“…”
I quietly closed my lips.
Even as I did, time continued to flow.
Was the wound quite deep? A considerable amount of blood was already dripping onto the floor, soaking my clothes.
But I didn’t feel any pain.
Of course.
Seri had never intended to attack me in the first place.
“Master… Se, Seri… doesn’t want to be… Aris’s thing… Please… don’t let me… Th, this way… Hiek?! Aaaagh…!”
Seri, who had flinched greatly and squeezed her eyes shut, began to pull out the blade that she had deeply embedded.
The sound of much more blood dripping was heard, even more than what had already flowed out.
“Haaak…! Haaah…!”
As Seri experienced more pain, her groans and breaths became more intense, but she still didn’t bother to open her tightly closed lips.
“Ugh… Hmmm…”
Seri, who had finally pulled out the blade, took a step back.
Seri, who was staggering and struggling to regain her balance.
I could see a deep wound on her slender wrist, which had always wrapped around me so preciously.
If it was Seri, who had been recognized for her abilities even when she was a priestess, she would have been able to treat that wound before it got worse.
But Seri didn’t even think about healing it, and was just panting and preparing for the next thing.
I just quietly waited for her work to be done.
I didn’t do anything.
My hands, clasped together below, were shaking violently, and the thought of the expression that that bitch, who had anticipated this situation, would be making made my head ache, but.
It was definitely not a situation where I could act emotionally.
Now that it had been revealed that even the way I had been so close to Seri was all an act, I had to completely abandon the idea that Aris would act with the kind of thinking that a normal human would have.
She was a crazy bitch who had subtly brainwashed Yerin during the years we had traveled together, making her lick and suck her pussy.
If that kind of tendency had continued since childhood, she might try to do something to Seri that I hadn’t anticipated.
If I tried to subdue Seri now, completely blocking her plan to kill me, the situation was likely to go in a much worse direction.
Aris, from the time when she had played with me and Yerin, had never once shown any remorse towards us.
This time too, she wouldn’t stop until an ending where Seri or I died appeared.
“I, I still… have time… I’ve been practicing… hard… so I can… hold on… enough…”
Seri, her arm painted with blood, trembled as she reached out towards me.
As she took a step forward, bent her arm, and placed it near my chest, she once again raised the hand holding the dagger.
Soon, the red tip was aimed directly at Seri’s arm.
The same area as before, but the pain would be incomparable to the previous one.
“Seri… wants to live… as Master’s woman… forever… Heh… Heuh… Just… just this once… please…”
Even so, her large eyes were smiling slightly.
“Plea, please… please grant… my wish…? Hehe…”
“…It’s okay, Seri.”
I closed Seri’s eyes with one hand, and gently wrapped my other arm around her back.
The arm she had originally intended to stab was already pulled down, so it seemed like I could easily achieve what I wanted this way.
“N, no, it’s… not…”
I hugged her tightly, pulling her into my arms.
Thud.
The chilling sensation of piercing my lower abdomen was definitely dangerous.
There was a suspicious energy permeating this dagger, to the point where I thought that Seri hadn’t purely created it with her own power.
It was similar to the characteristics of the weapons that Aris had created.
Like that weapon that completely burned anything that touched the blade when held by a suitable person, it held a heat that could burst into flames at any time.
Seri had been granted the authority to use the weapons that Aris had created.
That damned Saintess might have been planning to put me in a near-death state by borrowing Seri’s hands.
If I didn’t feel the fear of death, I would never kill Seri with my own hands.
But there was one crucial thing missing.
Was it the effect of having her mark stripped away? The way she created the weapon was similar to Aris’s, but the divine power contained in the weapon was too weak.
Seri’s fighting style was so outstanding that even Aris had coveted it, and now Seri had my magic mixed in with hers.
If she properly wielded Aris’s weapon, she should have had a destructive power that was stronger than a hero with a holy sword.
Even so, the dagger that Seri was holding couldn’t release the heat it contained and could only make a hole in my body.
“Cough…”
“Ah… Aah…!”
Of course, I couldn’t stop the blood from boiling in my throat, but my internal organs weren’t completely burned, so I wouldn’t die even if I was stabbed a few more times.
Right after I realized that the blade that had been deeply embedded was trying to come out, I gritted my teeth and tried my best to suppress the sound.
“Hwaaaak…! Stop, stooop…!”
Along with Seri’s desperate screams, the blade was stabbed in again.
So, I had no choice but to choose to block my ears for a very short time.
Maybe it was because she was the first woman I had by my side, but whenever I saw her crying, a part of my heart felt quite empty.
If I heard the sound of Seri crying after that, I felt like I would unintentionally snatch the dagger in her hand.
In my head, similar to when I was talking to Elina, I constantly spoke words to myself this time.
I thought that talking to myself might not be enough, but since I was shouting like a madman, it seemed that the surrounding sounds were being muffled to some extent.
I let a short time pass like that.
Once.
And again.
The blade was piercing the same area each time, and as expected, the pain only grew with each repetition.
Every time Seri’s arm moved back and forth, it felt like my internal organs were twisting.
“Cough… Cough…!”
With each cough, more and more blood was leaking out of my mouth.
I had already been stabbed at least five times, so I should have been alarmed that I might die.
But I was still filling my head with worry for Seri.
Even though I could barely hear her, seeing her crying with her mouth wide open like a child, I couldn’t shake off my worry.
I had tried so hard not to hear her crying.
“Nothing… will happen… so stay still… Seri…”
“Hic… Hic… Ju, Master… Hic hic…”
It was unavoidable because it would be a problem if I suddenly hugged her and she was surprised and pulled her arm out.
I hugged Seri’s back with all my strength.
I held her as tightly as possible so that she couldn’t pull out the dagger, and took away the palm of my hand that was covering Seri’s eyes.
“Why are you crying… Master won’t die… Don’t worry…”
I tried my best to make a smile that looked good, and with my hand that had gone down while stroking her cheek, I caressed her soft lips.
“Hhbb…”
“Seri… can you… slowly open your mouth…?”
“……Bae.”
“Good job, Seri.”
I pushed two fingers into her mouth.
“It’s just… a scary nightmare… and now… it’s time to wake up…”
I gently grabbed her tongue with my index finger and lightly caressed it.
“Heuhbb?!”
“Relax, Seri.”
Perhaps because an unbearable amount of magic had entered her at once, Seri suddenly began to show signs of trying to escape from my arms.
Seeing her pull out an excessive amount of divine power at once and make her body shine, it seemed like things weren’t going as I had expected.
I had deliberately tilted my head so that Seri would get my blood on her, but as expected, not much magic was mixed in with the blood.
Seri wasn’t feeling any pleasure and was only struggling to get away from me.
Well, if that much magic was mixed in with my blood, Aris wouldn’t use me as a living dildo.
After letting go of Seri’s tongue, I quickly lowered my hand.
I went past her chest, groped down her waist, and slipped my hand inside her skirt.
I moved her panties to the side, and touched her clit with the tip of my finger, which was covered in magic.
“Heut?!”
As if she had been waiting for me, I weakly grabbed the clit that had quickly popped out with my index finger.
“Heeeeeung…♥”
Fortunately, the magic had permeated to just the right level.
Seri, who was trembling and throwing her head back, ejaculated with a loud climax.
Starting with that, Seri’s resistance quickly weakened.
“Heung…♥ Hmmm…♥”
“Seri, rest well and I’ll see you later.”
The next moment, Seri’s body went limp, and the dagger that had been embedded in my body completely disappeared.
I picked up Seri, who had fainted in my arms, and headed to the bed.
The hole was quite large, so my face was contorted every time I moved.
I wondered if I should call Sien and ask her to bring some medicine.
“Juin…niiii…♥ Huuuuung…♥”
Surprisingly, our Seri was still conscious.
“I, I’m sorry…♥ Th, the wound… Hie… Eung…♥ Seri will… heal it… for you… Hmmm…♥”
She struggled to lift her limp arm and placed it on my cheek.
Immediately after that, her light began to quickly seep into my body.
It didn’t completely heal the wound, but I could definitely feel that the bleeding was stopping.
“Haaak…♥ Haat…♥ Juinniiii…♥”
“Yeah. Tell me.”
“Se, Seri…♥ lo, loves… loves you… so much…♥”
I closed my mouth without answering.
I clearly remembered nagging her to take care of herself first last time.
And yet, she had moved the arm that had been stabbed a little while ago and put her hand on my cheek.
I held my breath as much as possible, quietly laid Seri on the bed, and sat on the bed with my back to her.
A hand that was gently caressing my back.
“But… because of… Seri… Hic… Don’t, don’t cry too much… Master…”
Seri’s hand slowly went down and then was placed on the bed with a thud.
Listening to Seri’s steady breathing, as if she had quickly fallen asleep, I lowered my head.
It was also true that I couldn’t see well because of the tears that had welled up.
-Oh my. Seri is still alive?
-Where are you right now? You fucking bitch.
I couldn’t manage my expression at all because of Aris, who had spoken to me as if she had been waiting for it, so I had no choice but to lower my head.
-You’ve become rough. Si-hyun…♥ If I could have heard that beastly voice when you were under me, it would have been much hotter…♥ It’s such a shame♥
-……You crazy bitch.
She was definitely a bitch who was crazy about lust.
“Churp♥ Chuut♥ Churrurup…♥ Chooop…♥”
“Oook♥ Ok…♥ Ooooook…♥ Ye, Yerin-ah…♥ It’s too intense…♥ Heueug…♥”
Even while she was talking to me, she had Yerin between her legs.
-I, it’s your fault…♥ Because you had such delicious magic… I, if I suck it all up… I, I can’t help but become… such a lewd slut…♥
I didn’t know how she was showing me her appearance, but.
“Lick lick…♥ Hauuum…♥ Chup♥ Chup♥ Chuuuup…♥”
“Oooeeuk…♥ Cli, clit…♥ You can’t just suck it as you please…♥ A good puppy… should… li, listen to Master…♥”
“Haaak♥ Haaak♥ Woof♥ Woof♥”
“Huuu…♥”
Seeing Yerin, whose face was buried under Aris’s butt, licking her pussy.
-How do you feel…? Yerin’s voice, which you haven’t heard in a while… It’s nice to hear, right?
I felt like shit.
