Chapter 58 – 58 – “Got It”
The sharp blows are intertwined. However, it is only Eshen who is pushed out.
Eshen’s hook, which felt like it could tear apart a rock, struck his abdomen and head, but Quinn’s expression did not even change as he took over Nidroga’s body. He only returned a punch that seemed to hit her side. Eshen, who was unable to dodge her, yelped and fell to her knees.
Lenny, who has returned to the square between the two, stabs her rapier in an instant. The serious and skilled aspect of a lethal weapon that is difficult to associate with his usual bright expression. However, even though she stabbed the scales that covered her body like her clothes, not even a drop of blood formed on Nidroga’s back and armpits.
When the Succubus Queen swung the back of her hand in annoyance and broke her thin blade, Lenny was not embarrassed and pulled out a heavy two-handed sword from behind her and swung it. A profound swing filled with all his might, giving up even the quickness of a surprise attack, as if he had to give up all his might to have any hope.
But Quinn, she waited leisurely and caught her flying blade. And she swung away like nothing. Lenny, who did not let go of her sword, soared through the sky in return, colliding with Eshen, who was staggering to his feet, and tumbling down with him.
“Lenny-! Eshen-!”
After finishing the chant-less spell, Nenya became angry and struck the ground with her staff. The tightly closed iron door began to rattle and ring. As if giants were pounding on the door to open it.
In the end, when the iron gate could not hold up and collapsed, wood poured in like a wave. Tangled in flexible, thin fluorescent vines.
There were various types of thick lumps carried on the wooden waves. Wooden furniture and pillars of wooden buildings. Oak stall and bamboo chopsticks in the restaurant. A cork sign reads ‘World’s Obscene Reconstructed Memory Store for Dragons’.
They are all made of wood. While Eshen quickly scooped up her Lenny and rolled away from the wave, Quinn rolled her eyes in frustration.
“Have you ever thought about whose body I stole?”
Quinn leisurely breathed fire into Nidrogar’s mouth.
It was a foolish choice. Instead of turning into ash and fluttering about, the wood fell on Queen’s head with fire in it. When Quinn, pushed and crushed by her mass, was pushed down the railing of her stairs, screaming, Nenya responded with her sarcastic rant.
“I did it.”
Morgan and I urgently looked down at the railing of the stairs. A spacious lobby, a workshop hall, and a staircase connecting the two. The interior of the simple blacksmith shop was strangely so deep that the bottom could not be seen.
“···Where did you fall?”
“No matter where you fall, there’s no way you’ll die. Nidrogar will be safe.”
Nenya shook her head with her pale face and a blue light began to form on her wand. She seemed to be casting something again.
“I just bought some time. For Monica.”
“Where are you injured?”
As soon as the iron gate blocking entry was gone, Sister Monica, who was holding Aetreon, rushed in. Then, he held Lennie and Eshen in his arms, emitting a flash of intense pink light.
“Gal…Damn it. Ribs, sister.”
“It’s my hair. It got tangled and my forehead hit my forehead, but I guess I’m the only one who hurts.”
“I’m proud of my soft hair, idiot.”
An unexpected idea from Dolmeori, who is usually the one making fun of. But before I could admire it, the wall began to shake with a pounding sound. Eshen frowned.
“It doesn’t look like he transformed into a dragon. It looks like he’s crawling up the wall in his human form. You crazy monster.”
“Even if Nidroga wakes up again, can you say that to his face?”
“I could never do that. It’s not because I’m scared, but because I’m sorry. But it’s the truth.”
As the ringing got closer, Eshen sighed.
“It’s not the right weight class, damn it.”
It was just as Eshen said. Quinn, who was tanned here and there, seemed to be in high spirits, thrusting her fingers into her walls as if breaking them.
In an instant, Quinn crawled up near her ceiling and looked down at us. Villena, seeing the red eyes of the red dragon, began to hiccup.
“What are the odds of winning?”
“Maybe 50%. If a miracle suddenly happens and Thena appears next to us.”
“Uh, if there isn’t one?”
“It’s the end, okay?”
Nya said indifferently and extended her staff.
“But that bitch took our comrades and is tormenting them as if they will kill countless dragons out there, so we can’t just sit still, can we?”
“I can turn you into a pleasure sacrifice right now and make your secretions soggy, just like the dragons out there.”
It’s scary to even imagine.
Looking back, I realize that the only person in this blacksmith shop knows that I am a man. And for some reason, I feel fortunate about that fact.
“But if we adjust the level of life energy towards us, the dragons out there will be liberated.”
“Then you will be surrounded by angry dragons, and Lord will somehow pull you out of his daughter’s body and kill you. Isn’t that right? So let’s do our best. Why are you scared?”
Sister and Nenya shot back immediately. The two points seemed to be true, or at least closely aligned with the facts. The Succubus Queen contorted her face and spewed fire straight at us.
A blinding bright red flash. Lenny hastily slammed the round shield on one of her arms onto her floor. Then, the folded iron plate erupted and expanded into a large area like a tower shield.
Nenya pushed the back of the shield with her staff, creating a blue force field around it. After that, I and the party members who threw ourselves crouched and held on.
It’s dizzying. More than ever. It seems like the extreme heat is cooking my body.
If you praise its strength only when fighting enemies, Nidroga may be upset after his poor performance twice. But now it seems closer to certain death than ever before. More than when Adamantone thrust a knife in front of my face the other day. Even more so than when the black pirate ship crashed into Captain Tomko’s ship.
···The first two things that come to mind right away are both the work of one person. Adamantone Sunstorm, you idiot.
If I hadn’t accepted the offer of the good-natured warrior Sunstorm, I wouldn’t have had to endure the six years of hardship of having that son as my master.
That’s why you shouldn’t deal carelessly with A. Because A does not know B’s position.
An innocent child who brings sugar to ants does not know that the food coloring in the sugar will kill all the larvae. Jin, the fairy who grants three wishes, only looks sadly at the person begging for the fourth wish at the edge of destruction.
It’s not for nothing that they say you should make your wishes carefully. Dealing with someone who cannot dare to ask for a refund is a trap that lures the unwary into death. But···.
I saw Eshen spitting out blood and acting resolute. Then, I turned around and saw the sister who had turned pale from the effort she had been using to hold her dragon’s breath.
I have met two people who are more fearful of losing than dying.
“Are you listening?”
I swallowed my saliva. Toward the one being more fearful than Nidroga at this moment.
“I just remembered my next wish from ‘Please Don’t Hurt Us’. I-“
– Got it.
————–
– I’ll confess honestly.
Darkness falls. Her head spins, her eyes close, and her mind seems to be falling into an abyss.
I was filled with fear for a moment. She was once a goddess who said she would grant wishes for free, but on a whim, she decided to take my life in exchange.
However, the anxiety and dizziness did not last long. Soon I felt warm and cozy and came back to my senses.
As soon as I realize I’m lying on the floor, I hear a voice.
– I thought you would use up all your wishes a long time ago.
“Did you think I would use up all my wishes?”
I asked again in a daze, and this time I heard a giggling sound.
– For example, stamina, stamina, stamina, etc. Awesome, Tan Bantai. Even after being squeezed so hard, you don’t look for me, and you faithfully meet the demands of your lovers with only your own strength.
“I know very well that the wish you gave me is precious, but how dare I wish for something like that.”
I imagined myself as a sperm factory operating 24 hours a day. Excessively strong sexual function. Excessively intense pleasure. It’s like a horror story where you go completely crazy and break down like a machine that only knows how to have sex.
I remember. When asked to ‘please do not harm me in any way’, Ishtar said ‘I will not act like an evil spirit’ and ‘I will leave the people around me alone’.
···Perhaps even after compressing my entire body and turning it into a meat dildo, he manipulated my mind to make me satisfied with that state and then claimed that he ‘didn’t harm me’…
– I’ve never done that to guys who wish for energy. You have a great imagination.
I blinked and raised my head at the voice that felt much closer and more familiar than last time.
A beautiful woman sitting with her elbows on her table waved her hand. And she spoke in the voice of a goddess.
– Yes, you probably wanted to pray for infinite energy. But I forced myself to endure it. Because of patience, self-denial, and above all, prudence. It is not a virtue that is commonly found. Especially to men who are connected to My Apostle Daughters.
“Why is that so?”
– Most of them were self-confident lechers who enjoyed taking risks. Like Karl Brandt.
Karl Brandt. A legendary libertine who turned a duke’s family into a mess of corruption and adultery. A crazy guy who has dozens of erotic novels based on that saga.
The last time he met the goddess, she hinted that he had met a terrible end.
“···Okay.”
– But just as careful as you are, your sheer stamina is also surprising. Maybe it was because it was bearable that I didn’t pray for it.
“That is too much praise. And thank you very much for visiting so promptly.”
– Of course. My beloved youngest daughter, too, Even a talented person like you cannot be handed over to a traitor so easily.
The goddess said as she opened the cap of her pen and wrote something on her paper. She was wearing horn-rimmed glasses and an aristocratic gentleman’s suit as if it were a banquet.
The goddess seemed to have read my thoughts and smiled.
– You remember the warning that if you see my true face, you will die. But this cannot be my true identity.
“To be honest, I cringed because I thought I looked so much like you. But what are you writing?”
– Scoreboard.
“Yes?”
– No need to worry. You’ll find out soon. Look back.
I did that. And soon he knelt down with a sigh of relief.
The goddess sitting at the table and behind me were lying in a row on cushions that looked like a square ring stadium.
“Everyone was safe.”
“Do you think this is okay?”
“The air stretched out like black cheese, and then I heard the sound of tearing the cloth. And then it fell like this.”
“Eshen and Morgan, Nenya and Leni, Villena and me, in that order. Are you okay, Eshen?”
“So this looks like it’s okay!”
While my colleagues lying on the cushions were shouting, the sister smiled at me and waved her hand. And then he looked at the goddess with a surprised expression.
“Oh, well, I think this is my first time seeing you so close. Thank you for saving me.”
– Call me mom.
The goddess smiled kindly.
– And it’s not over yet.
“Yes?”
“Oh, I don’t know who that person is, but I think there’s one more person left.”
Morgan, who was trapped below with Eshen, groaned and pointed to the ceiling.
Just as Leni had said a moment ago, the air expanded again, and like a chicken laying an egg, another person fell into the middle of it.
It is none other than…
Nidroga’s body.
“Uh.”
“What the fuck-“
“Ready for battle!”
“Oh! Mommy!”
The last one is my scream. The sound of the goddess giggling behind her made her heart ache. It’s beyond shame.
“Damn bitches. Did you think you would be safe from me if you ran away like this?”
A venomous word thrown over the outcry. Quinn tried to land on her feet as if she was going to trample her teammates.
The party members and Morgan screamed and rolled to the side to avoid the attack. Thankfully, no one was stepped on.
Only the succubus queen collapsed, tripping her feet on that white cushion.
The sound of clumping sounds a little painful.
“Aaaaah! It hurts!”
“What.”
As the Succubus Queen grabbed her ankles and rolled over on her cushion, Eshen, who had flinched and raised his guard, frowned at her suspiciously.
“Hey, stupid twins.”
“Who are the crazy twins!”
“Okay, have you ever seen Nidroga get tired of her feet? Either of you can tell me.”
“Of course not. If she has that much strength, no matter what she does, it will be difficult for her to break her ankle and fall.”
Leni wiped her dried bloody nose and threw down her gloves. She turned towards the face of the person who caused her nose to bleed.
Quinn tried to jump up with a furious look on her face. And then she fell, like a baby not yet accustomed to her gravity.
“Eck!”
“I said eh. It’s kind of cute. I’ve never heard Nidroga make such a cute sound. She always seemed like a cool and trustworthy eldest sister.”
“Get out of the way.”
Villena stepped forward cautiously. She was fiddling with the medicine bottles in her arms as if she was wondering which one to take out, and then she found something that looked like a stick and became angry.
Villena handed Eshen a stick. Eshen nodded her head, aimed carefully, and threw.
The same restraints that had paralyzed Eshen were also wrapped around Nidroga’s body like a rope.
The Succubus Queen sneered. And she tried to break free of the restraints by force.
It didn’t go as planned. While Queen was looking increasingly embarrassed, the party members sauntered up and surrounded her.
“Was this something you could tie a dragon to, Villena?”
“No. Even if it were a young, ordinary dragon, nothing like alloy could bind Nidrogar, who was born with Lord’s blood.”
“Then it means you’ve weakened a lot. Shall we test it?”
“I will do it first.”
Lennie nodded and said with an expression of admiration. And then she kicked Nidroga in the side.
A strong blow without any reluctance to say that they were colleagues. Quinn let out a loud scream, her eyes wide.
“You… Don’t you know that you just kicked your friend in the body? You idiot-”
“The stupid thing is that you make a living by hitting with your mouth!”
“Aaaaak-!”
“It’s funny when you think about it. What did you say on the ship? What about Lilith? She was a big name in your industry?”
“Now, wait a minute-”
“You just said you were Lilith again? So you were just bragging to pretend you weren’t yourself, you idiot? My face is burning!”
“Bone! Bone hit! Bone!”
The bitter revenge continued until my sister and I urgently stopped him.
Of course, his conscience must have been pricked by the criticism that it was his friend’s body, but he must have also felt like it was a useless thing to do.
Quinn, who retreated to a corner while crying in pain, didn’t have a single bruise, let alone a wound on her.
“It seems like my durability is the same as usual. It’s just that my strength has weakened.”
“Our strength has been lost for no reason. It’s so strong, really.”
– I couldn’t help it. Because Mithra’s power has still reached your island.
We looked back at the goddess. Her sister asked with a puzzled look on her face.
“What do you mean?”
-A special believer who received the sun god’s favor declared her ministry on behalf of Mithra’s will. Therefore, whatever disaster happens to the Island of Dragons due to that deviant succubus, it is done according to Mithra’s will.
“Then···.”
– You can weaken it for a while, but you can’t prevent what will happen in the future. Especially now that I am weakened by his scheme.
“Ha! Weakened? Yeah, it feels good! It’s not as good as it used to be!“
The Succubus Queen, who was pale and trembling after discovering her goddess, regained her courage and laughed to the fullest, as if she knew this would happen.
“You look good, mother! When you treated me like a fool, you never imagined it would turn out like this! Behind me is the supreme god Mithra! Now you can’t touch me-”
– But you can compete. Because you were my daughter, Lilith.
“···Contest?“
Quinn flinched. With a pitiful expression, like Nidroga when it had just emerged from the sea. I felt like I had a strange premonition from the word competition.
It must have been so. It didn’t sound good to my ears either. The goddess looked very interested and she was smiling.
With purple eyes shining like her sister.
– Yes, contention.
