Chapter 141 – 141 – Once Pierced, It Will Be Pierced Again.
A vision passes by like a thunderbolt. A flash of light that was not mine suddenly disturbed my eyes. The bed and the three of us disappear somewhere.
Instead, you see a simple castle covered in ivy. You can also see soldiers wearing colorful and comical armor, like people from fairy tales. I followed the soldiers’ gaze and looked up the castle wall.
There was a face I recognized there. There are no horns, and instead of wariness or arrogance, there are only tear marks in the eyes…
Since the Demon King disappeared, there has been a being who was closest to the Demon King.
In that body Warrior’s Sword The monster’s rage, which ended only after seventeen weapons were hit, originated from a tragedy that was absurdly trivial and common compared to the scale of the incident.
This is because the man who promised marriage and one night stand did not return to the lady.
When a group of people with sun necklaces around their necks appeared and knocked on the castle gate, instead of an unexpected fiancé, Clutching the hem of a simple linen robe The daughter of the moon asked a question in fear.
It was not a question of how to deal with oneself as an apostle of paganism. That was no longer on her mind.
Their intentions were clear as they brought firewood to burn and ridicule the infidels, but there was something more important to her than her life.
Daughter of the Moon instead asked her friend what happened. The sun worshipers kept their mouths shut.
However, a shameless fool who had no sense of shame spoke out among the soldiers.
‘If you want to prove that your lady is not a monster of the cult, leave your sword and soldier and participate in the meeting alone to make a case.’ Didn’t you know that I would be so stupid to be fooled by those words? But he had set a trap around my neck, so there was nothing we could do about it. A silver marten came down from the forest and grabbed her by the neck.I have no choice but to skin her. ‘
‘What?’
‘Now, just as we tore up the body of that gisaeng brother, we will tear up and divide the territory that he has carefully maintained. And your bitch can’t do anything. Despair at that fact and die screaming, you bastard daughter of the prostitute evil god!’
‘···He, like you, was a believer in the sun necklace. How could you do something like that just because you’re my lover?’
‘Just because I’m your lover? In the first place, isn’t it strange that someone like a porter with the qualifications would become a decent lord? Of course, I must have benefited from your evil hex! On behalf of all proud fathers who pray and work honestly, I will strike down the forces that bewitch and deceive people!’
They were wrong on at least one part. Lilith was not helpless. The Daughter of the Moon showed what she can do.
Not a single one of them was able to return home as a proud ‘father’···.
“Stop.”
I was broken out of my thoughts when someone tapped the back of my hand.
I blinked my watery eyes and raised my head to see Lilith, drenched in sweat, looking at me with her eyes narrowed as if she had just woken up from sleep.
Because we had been rolling around in a trance, the silk blanket was wrapped around our bodies like a pupa shell. Lilith grunted, pushing my hand away from her shoulder.
“Stop looking.”
“What? No, more than that, what did I see just now?”
“What you just saw was a story from my childhood. That’s why I’m telling you to stop watching that.”
“···I didn’t see it because I wanted to, I think it happened in front of my eyes on its own…”
“I’m glad I looked at mine first before messing with other people’s memories. I can at least explain. Be careful the next time you mess with women.”
“Why···?”
“Now that you have become the best apostle spreading the gospel of Ishtar, from now on you will be able to exercise a kind of control over the person of the opposite sex you like. The moment your skin touches, even their secretly hidden feelings will be revealed to you. That control is mutual. “The closer your heart is, the stronger it will be.”
“···I think my hearing is wrong for a moment. Can you tell me again from the beginning?”
“But for now, all I can do is peek into the vulnerable parts of my mind. That means I don’t have the ability to fight off drowsiness and force myself to explain in more detail. I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.”
“···Stop talking nonsense and stand up and explain.”
“I said your strength isn’t strong enough to command that. Ask me later. And are you really a bastard? You say you can’t do it because it’s hard, but why do you torture people until dawn?”
Lilith skillfully rolled up the blanket and took it away. She said whatever she wanted and then fell asleep without moving a single inch. Thanks to her mental shock and the cool air, I woke up completely and noticed that my back was warm, with goosebumps forming.
When I slowly turned around, the sister who gave me a tight back hug greeted me with a faint smile. Anxiety and tantrums were quickly extinguished thanks to the soft grace that stimulated all the tactile senses of her body.
“Lilith is not honest to the end. Even though she likes you so much.”
“Good morning, sister. Could you please fill in the information that strange woman left out?”
“Compared to the ancient being Lilith, I am just a newborn, so I probably don’t know more about my mother than I do. But I think I can tell you what I saw with my own eyes.”
“What is it?”
“I think that dominance has something to do with the tattoo on Tan’s back.”
“I have a tattoo on my back? I’ve never had anything like that in my life.”
“Lilith was crying beautifully and carving it with her fingernails.”
While I was crushing Lilith, my back was also smashed when she scratched her. As I felt the skin on her back, I felt a shallow, tingling wound.
I put aside for a moment the sympathy I felt for the innocent, sad Lilith of old. And Lilith, who was laughing heartily as if she was dreaming, pulled the blanket and screamed.
“Damn it, wake up and explain what this is! You can’t suddenly turn a person into something like a supernatural rape demon and then fall asleep calmly!”
———-
“That happened last night.”
Eshen poured the water he was drinking back into his cup and looked at me in silence for a long time. Drunk in the haze of oversleeping, I could barely nod.
It’s understandable to be shocked. I heard that I was given a place in the war of the gods, and that I was wallowing with the monster that brought us to the brink of annihilation.
Lilith hasn’t even left yet. I feel like he’s being really shameless, but he’s lying down on the guest house’s bed, sound asleep. I’m scared because I don’t know what Lord will think.
However, what Eshen actually paid attention to was…
“You followed me?”
“···Does that matter now?”
“Then it doesn’t matter to you? Is it not a big deal that the tunnel was opened in an unexpected attack?”
“It’s no big deal, but don’t bother using weird expressions like I was picked or blocked. It’s already become a trauma, but I keep thinking about it.”
“You’re a really messed up bitch. Are you touching someone else’s male butt just to vent your anger about the past?”
“Oh, please.”
“Okay, I’m sorry. I won’t say any more. I’m sure you didn’t want to do something like that again.”
I nodded haggardly. I felt a little regret, wondering if I had revealed too much of what happened last night.
Eshen scratched his chin and stared into the distance, then suddenly looked back at me with an expression of disdain.
“Wow, you can’t answer?”
“What?”
“Do you want to go through something like that again?”
“···You nodded!”
“So you nodded that you wanted to be punished?”
“Stop making nitpicks that will melt my brain cells. If I don’t, my head will hurt to death.”
“It’s just a joke, idiot. You’re so serious, you’re making a deathly expression, so I tried to make a joke.”
Eshen pushed my shoulder and laughed. And because of that, his collar was pulled to the side, and his expression suddenly hardened.
Eshen looked at the tattoo in question on my back and spoke in a serious tone.
“Hey. What is this? Did you get a cheap tattoo at Hwanhwagok? Don’t do that. The kids here are bad.”
“What the fuck did you hear from my explanation?”
Five minutes later, the bathroom of the main building where the party members are staying.
Eshen brought a hand mirror with a worried look on his face. I checked my back with a hand mirror.
···There is a tattoo on his back that I really don’t know what it is. The pattern drawn in dark red is exactly…
“It’s a thorn bush, and it’s shaped like a heart. It looks similar to the one drawn on Billena’s lower abdomen. Would you like to rub it with a towel until it turns red?”
“···Did Villena do that? Was it effective?”
“No. It was funny how she jumped up and down because she was so bitter.”
“Sometimes I wish Tan was a fighter and Eshen was a porter. Every time that happens, I want to see Tan crushing Eshen.”
Lenny expressed my feelings exactly. What can I do? I’ll have to spank your ass in bed later. I think I’m starting to like it more and more, so I wonder if it’s revenge.
The party members watched my back with concern and whispered.
“Don’t worry. Still, it’s not dirty because it’s a bit dirty. In fact, it’s a bit sexy. He seems like an overtly dangerous guy.”
“···My thoughts are a bit different. I prefer a healthy back without tattoos. My father thinks the same too. I think I need to hire a professional magician to get permission from my father to marry her in the future.”
“Rather than that, tell me in more detail the story about being stabbed in the back. What happened?”
I was struck with the despairing thought that none of these guys would be of any help.
In a commissioned battle, I would endlessly trust and rely on my colleagues who are experts among experts, but in this situation, I and the party members are just amateurs.
I don’t know if I should be grateful, but it wasn’t long before an expert came to visit. Lilith, with a toothbrush in her mouth, leaned against the bathroom door and mumbled.
“Tell me more? The story behind it?”
Please explain what this tattoo is. Why the fuck is everyone so interested in that?
Just as I was about to rub my forehead against her confusion, Lennie kicked the bathroom chair I was sitting on towards Lilith.
While Lilith tilted her head to avoid me, Lenny laid me down and covered me with her small body. Eshen and Nidroga also stood between me and Lilith in an aggressive manner.
As Isilune, without her warrior sword, looked around her bathroom looking for her weapon, Morgan woke up, pulled out the cutlass he was wearing, and threw it to Isilune. She then pulled out her pistol and aimed it at Lilith’s head.
“The warriors of the Cheonmu Shinseo Church must have gone to arrest you? What happened to them?”
“I should have sent it to stronger guys. When I hit it, it fell over like a firewood cigarette.”
“Did you kill him?”
“I didn’t kill him. Why don’t you all calm down?”
“If you do something stupid, I will transform you.”
“Let’s all die under the weight of the dragon? Then isn’t this a real fight? Stop it. I didn’t come here to fight. If I had any enmity, the Dragon Lord would have already left me alone.”
Lilith calmly walked in, opened his faucet, took water in his hand, and rinsed her mouth. Lennie raised his eyebrows.
“That’s true too. It’s shameful that Tan lied to us, but if he had any hostility, he wouldn’t have shown himself like this.”
“Disgraceful? That’s a little funny. Don’t you guys have something to hide from Tan?”
Leni narrowed her eyes and looked back and forth between Lilith and me. It was a very natural acting. So much so that the rest of them wouldn’t have noticed if they hadn’t been so agitated.
But I clearly saw Eshen’s pupils flutter. It seems that Isilun is not very good at lying. This is a bit harsh.
As if he had thought of changing the atmosphere, Nidroga shouted loudly.
“You couldn’t defeat us last time, so are you planning to attack us now?”
“You couldn’t beat me? That’s ridiculous. Wasn’t I beating all of you before Goddess Ishtar intervened and that porter took off his pants? By the way, who owns this toothbrush?”
“It’s me, bitch.”
Eshen said, baring his teeth. Lilith then looked a little disgusted, washed the toothbrush well, and politely returned it to Eshen. Eshen unconsciously accepted it with the same politeness.
“Be thankful that Tan’s wish was, ‘Please don’t harm me in any way.’ Because of this, Goddess Ishtar will not directly intervene in your fate. Neither will I, as a servant. But she does not want to do anything to you. “He’s not a god who’s generous enough to just tolerate it. Whatever plans you have for Tan, it won’t work out the way you want.”
“Like your plan didn’t go your way in Dragon’s Lair?”
“It’s noisy. Anyway, I engraved the guardian symbol and left a warning. I’ve done everything he asked me to do, so I’ll just leave. Be careful of the people who love and care for you, master. You’ve seen my memories, so you know well, but the plans they made out of love for you “Because it could hurt you.”
“Wait a minute, master? Master?”
“Yes. You are my master now. Ishtar asked me to become your guardian spirit in exchange for your name and freedom. I was annoyed by that, so I came to sort out the hierarchy in advance, but it didn’t work out as I thought.”
For a moment, Lilith looked at me with eyes filled with an unknown emotion. And he said as he left as calmly as he came in.
“Be healthy. We’ll see you again soon.”
———–
Once something is pierced, it is bound to be pierced again…Except in the buttocks. For example, things like secrecy and security.
Another intruder in the night poked his head closer to me.
“So what happened? What is this ‘plan’ that the extermination party members secretly made?”
“He wouldn’t tell me. It’s not because he didn’t want to tell me, but because he didn’t think it would help my recovery.”
“What kind of answer is that? It doesn’t explain anything, does it?”
“So I took a picture. ‘Are you trying to get me deported?’ And actually, the rule is that it’s a women-only party, so it wouldn’t be surprising if you got kicked out if your gender was discovered.”
“Oh, no way. That’s harsh.”
“But it was still harsh. It was something that had already happened to an Adamantone bastard once. But everyone looked relieved and said that banishment was absolutely not the case. I don’t know what the secret was, but it definitely seemed like it was less bad than banishment.”
“Then…Is this a salary reduction? Perhaps disciplinary action?”
“Well, I think it might be a good thing. I even said that I might actually like it. Besides, my younger brother’s birthday is in 15 days. Maybe he’s trying to take care of me for something?”
“Did you have a younger brother?”
“I’m a brilliant student who studied abroad at the Armatam Empire’s Magic Tower. I’m a graduate student research student. Shall I show you a photo?”
The intruder who was chatting with me showed interest and sat close to me. And I barely came to my senses right before I took out my wallet and showed my brother’s picture.
“Wait a minute. Something’s strange.”
“Can’t we just keep being weird? Don’t think about our original purpose.”
“···Shit!”
The masked intruder screamed, grabbed me by the collar, and pinned me to the bed. Then he took out a dagger and stabbed it violently next to my ear. The bed sheets were torn with a screeching sound.
I don’t know what the guardian spirit Lilith was talking about is, but it doesn’t seem to be a concept that watches over me 24 hours a day and appears at a flash of lightning when I’m in danger.
I gave up resisting, raised my hands and raised my eyebrows.
“Your skills are amazing. Even though security has been strengthened since Lilith showed up last night, you managed to break through the even more stringent security and come in here. Even though I moved my bedroom from the guest house to Lord Huhangok’s office, you were able to find me.”
“Shut up! From now on, no matter how much you play with your tongue, it won’t help. I won’t be fooled!”
“I didn’t intentionally try to deceive you. You just corrected me because I was complaining.”
“I told you to shut up!”
“I want to shut up too, but I’m the kind of person who needs to find out what I’m curious about, even if it means getting hurt. What is the purpose? Is it assassination? Who is behind it?”
“···My purpose is…Uh, so…”
The action is professional, but the planning is amateur. The intruder, who had skillfully sneaked in, had no idea what to do with me.
I said, trying not to glance at the white hair sticking out from one side of the mask. I think he’ll get hurt if I point this out.
“Rape? It almost happened yesterday, so I’m not really surprised.”
“···Ah, no! No!”
The denial is a bit intense. As if he had no intention of attacking me.
I said while holding back a sigh.
“Or is it a threat? What purpose are you trying to achieve by scaring me?”
“Yeah, that’s right. Leave Hyanghwagok right now. If you don’t, I’ll leave what happens next to your imagination!”
“I don’t know why you want me to leave, and I don’t know if you’ll believe me, but I have a disease that will kill me if I don’t stay here.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. That damn thing… I mean, you can do this lewd thing, whether it’s a healing ritual or an orgy ritual, even if you’re sitting in a room far away in the middle of nowhere!”
“But I haven’t heard a single word about the healing ritual being done with dirty tricks.”
The intruder closed his eyes tightly for a moment, as if blaming himself, and then opened them. I shrugged.
“So why do you want me to leave?”
“Well, there are people who are uncomfortable with you! Don’t ask too much!”
“If you go back to them, I’d ask them to move faster. As I said before, security has been strengthened because of Lilith.”
“Yaaaaa-!”
When a brave cry was heard, the intruder quickly turned around.
But it was already too late. Eshen’s headbutt, which came crashing down through the door, hit the intruder’s back.
Eshen landed splendidly and shouted at the intruder, who fell down while smashing down the folding screen and grab.
“I won’t do it twice, Lilith, you shameless crazy bitch! I knew this would happen. Are you planning on squeezing Tan so that he doesn’t have the strength he needs for the ritual? You know that you won’t be able to get back to your limbs intact. Tan’s harpooned youth membrane and my toothbrush. “I will avenge you!”
“···Since I haven’t been stabbed, can we please stop talking?”
“···What happened…?”
When the intruder stumbled to her feet, clutching her side, Eshen gaped in horror. On the other hand, I sighed and picked up the hood and mask that had fallen on my knees.
When I got up and approached him and handed him the mask, Garam Taiga was devastated when he realized that his face was revealed.
I sighed deeply and said to Eshen’s younger brother, who was shaking and out of focus.
“Why did you come?”
