Chapter 66 – The Subjugated Magician, Juliana (2)
After Elina left for the Magic Tower, Seri and Bell were each trying to strengthen their newly acquired abilities in their own ways.
‘Seri, Bell. Both of you, remember this. If those guys come barging in here while I’m gone, don’t even look back and just run. Got it?’
‘Master. What if… what if they come alone?’
‘I was thinking about that too. Si-hyun. It’s impossible to take on all of them at once, but if one of them comes here alone, you can definitely handle them. Maybe they’ve had a change of heart and are coming to talk. It’s not always a good idea to just avoid a situation.’
‘…You’re going to hold them off?’
‘Yes. As your bitches, it’s our duty to do so. Unless we know exactly what Saintess Aris is planning, if we get the chance, we should do whatever it takes to keep them here.’
‘Yeah. It’d be impossible alone, but it’s different with the two of us. Seri and I have worked together many times before, and now, thanks to the magic power Si-hyun gave us, we can communicate to some extent through our minds. We can hold out long enough for Si-hyun to get our signal and return.’
‘Ha. You two are hopeless.’
*Whump.*
‘Kyaaaah…♥’
‘S-Si-hyun-ah…♥ I can’t breathe…♥’
‘What? You can’t even get out of this, and you’re going to take them on? You two are just going to be held in my arms and properly fucked, so you can do your bitch roles well enough. If I see even one scratch on your pretty bodies from trying to help me, I’ll fuck you both until you’re pregnant.’
‘Hic?! T-That’s absolutely not allowed…!’
‘Y-Yeah…! If we get pregnant, who will protect Si-hyun…!’
‘I warned you. I’m not kidding, so listen carefully. Got it?’
Although Si-hyun’s warning was quite concerning.
‘Sister. As long as we don’t get hurt, it’s fine. After everything’s over, Seri will heal you up nicely. Now that Master has given us so much magic power, we can heal most wounds without any trouble, and we can even do it without leaving a trace.’
‘Yeah. I’ll be as careful as I can. Let’s hold out for Si-hyun!’
Giving up on protecting their master because they were scared of getting pregnant was out of the question.
Of course, they understood Si-hyun’s concerns well enough.
Having the qualifications to be part of the hero party meant that they had reached the pinnacle in their respective fields.
Moreover, they had defeated the Demon King and returned safely, so even if they had the best situation and luck on their side, it would be impossible to guarantee the outcome when facing them.
However, even after fully considering those points, Seri and Bell had no intention of backing down.
As Si-hyun said, they couldn’t even escape his embrace when he simply pulled them into a hug, but.
That was only because they weren’t truly resisting him. If they were determined, they thought they had a chance of winning.
They had good reason to think so.
‘Huh…? Master. I’ve gained a strange ability. I mixed the magic power you gave me with my divine power, and suddenly, flames burst out.’
Without using any special holy magic, just by drawing out a little divine power and magic power, fierce flames erupted from Seri’s fingertips.
‘Hmm. Shooting flames from your fingertips… Try shooting that at me.’
‘Wouldn’t it be too dangerous…?’
‘Don’t worry. I can still feel my magic power in your body, so you won’t try to harm your master.’
‘Okay. T-Then, just a little bit….’
‘…Oh. It’s not even hot.’
‘Um, Master. This flame… it seems to burn away anything that doesn’t have your magic power mixed in.’
‘Hmm. Is it protecting the user of the magic power? More than that, you could probably take on most magicians with this?’
Everything that was even slightly touched by the flames melted away without a trace.
‘U-Um, um, um… Si-hyun…? So, you’re… you’re going to lay me down and test Seri’s flames on me, r-right…?’
‘Yeah. Even if something goes wrong, we’ll definitely save you, so relax.’
‘T-Then… can I ask you for one favor…?’
‘What is it?’
‘I… I’ve only heard you say you love me once… Hic… Before I die… can I ask you one more time…?’
‘Bell.’
‘U-Uh…?’
‘I love you.’
‘Haaah…♥ Now I’m ready to die…♥’
Just in case, when they tested it on Bell’s body, the same result occurred as when they tested it on Si-hyun.
Bell’s body and the armor she was wearing were not harmed at all.
‘Bell. You still have the armor you used to wear, right? Bring it here.’
However, the armor that Bell brought was different.
As soon as Seri touched it with a small flame, it melted away.
‘B-But… I heard that this could protect against most magic….’
‘Have you ever fought a magician directly?’
‘I’ve taken magic from magicians that the Tower Master introduced me to a few times. They were said to be quite skilled, and my damage was minimal.’
‘Even so, if it’s this much…….’
Si-hyun trailed off, not adding anything else, and immediately asked Bell for a sparring match.
‘The rules are simple. If your sword touches my body even once, you win. I’ll give you three minutes. I won’t use both hands and will only dodge, so attack as much as you want.’
‘If I win, does that mean I have a chance against the hero party?’
‘Well, I’ll acknowledge it then. Even so, it’ll only be a very small chance.’
‘Yeah. I’ll be satisfied with that. Then, I’m really starting now?’
In the wide mansion garden, with Seri watching, Bell, gripping her wooden sword, rushed at Si-hyun.
‘Hmm. Master. Has your skill rusted? You seem much slower than before?’
‘It’s not that…! Si-hyun is just too… fast…!’
Even after two minutes, she couldn’t land a proper blow on him, nor could she even keep up with his movements.
As soon as she took her first step and prepared to charge, she would feel a chilling presence behind her and have to belatedly change direction.
Even then.
*Grip.*
‘Heeuh…♥’
‘Even so, you’re too slow?’
Only after Si-hyun squeezed her breast hard once was she able to turn her body completely.
*Squeak.*
‘Hwaaah…♥’
Of course, if she turned the other way, she would soon be caught from behind again, and before long, her panties would be pulled down, and she would tremble as his fingers played with her pussy.
*Squeak, squeak.*
‘Aah… haah…♥ I, I give up…♥ I’ll just… spread my legs… Hurry, put your cock in… hwaaah…♥’
‘That won’t do. There’s still time left. Try doing what I said.’
‘What… what is it…?’
‘Remember what Seri said earlier? She mixed magic power and divine power. Why don’t you try that too?’
‘Heeuh…♥ Haa…♥ I, I’m… different from Seri… heeung…♥ No matter how I look at it, I have no talent for magic power… heeeung…♥’
‘Don’t say that. I’ll put a little more magic power in your pussy, so concentrate properly and try.’
Si-hyun deeply thrust his magic-filled fingers into her pussy.
‘Heeuuuh…♥’
Bell, arching her back greatly and going limp, trembled, but still tried to concentrate on drawing out magic power and divine power at the same time, as Si-hyun had said.
It didn’t seem to be going as well as she had hoped.
‘Okay, come again. Master.’
Seeing Si-hyun, who had created some distance, she couldn’t do nothing.
‘Heeuuu…♥ I, I’m going…♥’
Still feeling the afterglow of her climax and dripping with pussy juice, she gripped her wooden sword straight and took her first step towards Si-hyun, who was standing in front of her.
Immediately after, a sound of the air tearing was heard, and the wooden sword flew, aiming for Si-hyun’s neck.
Normally, by the time the wooden sword reached its target, Si-hyun would have already grabbed her from behind and be touching her pussy or breasts.
*Thud!*
‘……Hic?!’
But when she came to her senses, the wooden sword she had swung at him had left her hand and was rolling on the floor far away.
She was straddling Si-hyun’s waist, their bodies completely pressed together.
‘You have quite a talent? Of course, it will take a lot of practice to adapt to your speed and wield your sword properly, but you could develop your speed to a level similar to Yerin’s.’
‘R-Really…?’
‘Yeah. I acknowledge that you’ve both gotten stronger. Maybe you could even handle one member of the hero party who comes alone. But try not to do that if possible. They’re too dangerous to face with just the power you’ve gained like this. If I come back here and see you two seriously injured, I think this master will really lose it?’
‘Then… will you make us pregnant…?’
‘Well, that was half a joke. In reality, I’d probably go straight to their throats?’
‘Hic?’
‘That’s just to say that might happen if you get seriously hurt.’
Bell felt the hand stroking her back and looked at Si-hyun.
‘Unless you want to see me go crazy and storm into the Order, use the new power you’ve gained this time only to protect yourselves. Please.’
At the time, after hearing Si-hyun’s sincere request, both Seri and Bell had intended to follow his wishes.
But the gains they had made in just one day were too great to completely dismiss the possibility.
For both Seri and Bell, it was the first time in their lives that their abilities had improved so noticeably in just half a day.
And the fact that the improvement was not a one-time thing was more than enough to create a huge misconception.
Therefore, after making numerous advancements over the past day, they were almost certain that they could gain the upper hand against the intruder who had reached the gate and entered the mansion.
That was why Bell had unhesitatingly rushed at Juliana, who had opened the door and entered the mansion, and swung her sword.
However.
“Bell, sister. Since when did we become the kind of people who attack each other as soon as we see each other?”
“……?!”
Bell couldn’t even swing her sword properly.
The sword blade, which had stopped an absurd distance away, was wrapped in the cold air emanating from Juliana’s body, and then shattered into pieces with a loud explosion.
*Grip.*
“And your clothes have gotten quite revealing? Did Oppa make you like that?”
Bell’s body completely stiffened while she was swinging her sword, and she couldn’t even move her mouth while Juliana was holding her chin.
It was as if her whole body had turned into a hard block of ice.
“Ah, that’s right. You can’t talk right now, can you? I forgot. But, seriously, what were you thinking, swinging your sword?”
Juliana’s eyes turned towards Bell’s sword, which was standing still in the air.
“With such a clumsy attack, you wouldn’t even be able to cut my arm properly? At best, you could have cut my hand. Of course, that’s if it had landed properly.”
The next moment, Bell’s stiffness completely disappeared, and the sword was forcefully slammed down.
A loud collision sound was created, and Bell’s body twitched greatly.
As Juliana had said, it was a blow that would have come close to her wrist if it had landed properly.
However, blocked by a blue shield, only the unpleasant sound of metal scraping loudly was heard repeatedly.
“See?”
Juliana grabbed Bell’s chin more tightly.
Her cheeks were dented by her fingers.
“Ugh…!”
“You’re still far behind, sister.”
As Juliana slightly curled the corners of her mouth, a chilling coldness spread out from her in an instant.
Immediately after being swept away by the coldness, the sword that had been flung away rolled on the floor, and Bell felt a chill that seemed to freeze her to the bone.
“And I’ve always said, you’re too soft-hearted to ever cut down someone you know. Don’t you remember when all the kids you taught for just a week died and came back? You locked yourself in your room and did nothing but cry for over ten days. How can someone like that try to do something so scary?”
Juliana forced Bell’s head to turn and look to the side.
“This kind of thing should have been done by someone else, not you.”
“……Juliana-nim.”
“Yeah. Seri. It’s been a while.”
There, Seri was standing with flames in both hands.
Perhaps because a considerable amount of Seri’s divine power was mixed in, it was much brighter than ordinary flames.
However, her hands were pointed towards the floor, not towards them.
“Everyone was worried, but it seems you’ve been getting along well with Oppa?”
“……Please let my sister go. It’s all my fault. Torment me instead of her.”
“Hmm. Should I?”
Juliana smiled and let go of Bell.
*Grip.*
“Kkeueuk…!”
Seri’s body floated into the air.
The area around Seri’s neck, which was being held by an invisible grip, was so dented that it could be seen from afar.
Juliana slowly moved her steps and stopped in front of Seri.
“Seri. Protecting others during a battle is not something someone like you, who can’t even protect your own body properly, can do.”
“Kkeueueup?!”
“If you have such an excessive dream, you’ll only end up losing someone every time, so if you really want to protect someone, you should run away together. Didn’t you hear that from Si-hyun Oppa?”
The moment Seri saw Juliana’s right hand move behind her back, she struggled violently.
That was because thin ice shards had begun to form one by one from Juliana’s fingertips.
There were only about five of them, a small number.
“You too, and Bell, sister… it would have been better if you had followed those words. If you had….”
Seri had once witnessed a scene where one of those ice shards pierced the body of a giant demon, causing a huge explosion that tore the demon to pieces.
“You wouldn’t have had to go through such a terrible thing….”
The next moment, the ice shards flew towards Bell all at once.
*Thwack-!*
The sound of flesh tearing was heard repeatedly, but no scream came from Bell.
“Don’t worry, Seri. I don’t intend to let you hear even a painful scream.”
As Juliana gestured slightly, Seri’s two feet, which had been floating in the air, slowly descended and landed on the ground.
However, Seri’s body, which had completely lost its leg strength, collapsed as soon as it regained its freedom.
“Ah…… ahh…….”
Seri, who had fallen to the ground, still tried to crawl on the floor with her arms, slowly trying to reach Bell.
Juliana quietly looked down at Seri.
The tears that quickly filled Seri’s eyes were endlessly pouring down.
“S-Sister…. Sister… A-Ah… no, nooo….”
*Trickle, trickle, trickle.*
Juliana sighed softly as she saw the liquid flowing from Seri’s lower body.
It seemed that this child had already noticed what Bell’s condition was.
Juliana’s empty gaze turned to the back.
She could see Bell, who was bleeding with ice embedded in her abdomen.
If she were to release the magic that had stiffened Bell’s body, the ice shards would explode inside her body, and she would die before anyone could do anything.
Knowing that Bell could not be saved unless the embedded ice was precisely removed, Juliana felt a little complicated as she watched Seri, who was still crawling stubbornly.
“Seri. I have no intention of giving you a chance.”
Juliana lowered her posture, bending one knee, and grabbed Seri’s chin, lifting it up.
“Ugh…! Let go! Let go of me…!”
“……You’re still the same, Seri. I’m jealous. You can be by Oppa’s side without being forced to change…….”
Juliana slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
“I’m only left with things to be hated for now….”
Seri bit down hard on Juliana’s finger, which was stroking her lips.
The blood that flowed from the pure white finger began to drip onto the floor.
“……Ah, that’s right. Seri, you hated me too, didn’t you.”
Juliana grinned.
“Sorry. I won’t talk to you anymore.”
After letting go of Seri’s chin, she placed her hand, covered in cold air, on the back of her neck.
Immediately after, Seri’s body trembled slightly and then collapsed.
Juliana, who had sighed softly, looked down at her body.
Perhaps because she had been quite excited, her dress and stockings were torn in places by the strong magic power.
“Oppa will be here soon…. I should have brought a change of clothes.”
After shaking off her brief regret, she slowly moved her steps.
She sat comfortably on the stairs and quietly stared at the gate she had passed through.
And.
“……Oppa, hello? It’s been a while?”
She looked at the two people who had passed through the door not long after.
She had wanted to smile since they were meeting, but unfortunately, she couldn’t manage to produce one.
