Chapter 1238 – 1238. Dark Moon
Wearing a mask and a suit, I went outside the mansion. Officially, I was a special mercenary hired by the Baron, so I wasn’t wearing a military uniform.
I scanned the area around the mansion with sharp eyes.
‘If the enemy attacks… will they come through the back gate instead of the front? Or will they try to be unpredictable and come through the front?’
The most common way would be to climb over the wall. And that’s the most difficult. The wall is electrified, and automatic combat machines are installed. The moment someone tries to climb over, the machine guns will recognize them and turn them into a honeycomb.
As I walked around the mansion, I noticed that the front gate was unusually noisy. When I headed towards the front gate, I saw a man arguing with the guards.
He was a man wearing an old hat and work clothes. His tanned skin was gaunt, and the beard on his chin looked like it hadn’t been touched for days. It was the face I saw during the briefing. Bill Clarkson. The labor representative who was in conflict with Baron Ptelgar.
“As a labor representative, I want to speak with Baron Ptelgar!”
“…I’m sorry, Mr. Clarkson. Baron Ptelgar is currently resting in his room because he is not feeling well.”
Bill Clarkson’s face contorted in anger, and he roared.
“Don’t make me laugh! I clearly saw a whore enter the mansion through the front gate this morning! Is a man who’s not feeling well calling a whore into his house?!”
“Mr. Clarkson, you’re mistaken. That woman is not a whore, but a caregiver.”
“Cut the crap! Call Baron Ptelgar! I’m here to talk to him!”
The guard shook his head, watching Clarkson shout.
“Haa. Mr. Clarkson. You know this is pointless.”
Just then, a black car approached from behind. The car stopped in front of the gate, and the doors opened, and a group of women got out. They were all above-average beauties, but their clothes were short, they had tattoos on their thighs, waists, and shoulders, and their hair was dyed in various flamboyant colors.
They were whores. Expensive ones at that.
I unconsciously swallowed and scanned the whores.
“Hey, mister. Open the gate. It’s not like we’re meeting for the first time.”
“…I’ll open it now.”
The guard opened the gate. Bill Clarkson, who had been watching, rushed forward. But the guard, who had been watching him, immediately grabbed Bill Clarkson and threw him outside.
“Ugh! This, this is assault!”
“This is self-defense. You can report it to the police if you want. No, it would be better for me to report it to the police. Mr. Clarkson. Please go back before I call the police.”
“Damn it… Damn it. Damn it… Ptelgar!!!”
Bill Clarkson got up and rushed towards the gate again. The guard blocked Bill Clarkson as if he was used to it.
“That’s enough, please go back. There’s a limit to how much I can let it slide. The final negotiation date is only three days away. You need to be in good health for the negotiations.”
“Are you… threatening me?!”
“It’s not a threat, it’s a warning. Please go back within 10 seconds. Otherwise, I will call the police.”
“……”
Bill Clarkson glared at the guard, then turned and disappeared.
The whores, who had entered the gate and were watching the situation, giggled.
“What, that was boring. If you’re a man, you should at least try.”
“What a pathetic man.”
“He doesn’t even look like he has money. He should just stay out of it.”
The whores, who were laughing among themselves, noticed me standing a little away. Their expressions hardened.
“Hey, masked guy. What are you looking at?”
“Are you interested in us? Do you have money?”
“Get on your knees and beg. Then I might show you my chest.”
“But he does have a good body. Come to the shop later. I’ll give you a service.”
“Hey girls, did you know? Surprisingly, men with good bodies often have small dicks. That’s based on my experience.”
I raised my right hand.
Crackling.
Electricity sparked from my palm.
The whores, who had been giggling, instantly froze.
The guard who had been watching approached. Unlike his firm attitude when dealing with Bill Clarkson, he was hesitant when he looked at me.
“…M-Masked One. This is not good. They are the Baron’s guests.”
My body trembled. The electricity crackling in my right hand intensified. The guard and the whores trembled.
They seemed to think I was angry, but I wasn’t angry. It was the opposite. I felt a thrill at the fact that the guard and the whores were afraid of me. It was different from sexual pleasure.
‘This is power…’
I quickly calmed myself. The lightning crackling in my hand disappeared.
“Did you confirm those women?”
My voice was distorted into a low tone. It was the mask’s voice modulation function.
“They are the Baron’s guests. They have visited the mansion several times already.”
“That was in the past. Now is a critical time. The final negotiation is only three days away. And I don’t know those women. And isn’t it possible that those women were bought off yesterday? If those women cause an accident, will you take responsibility?”
Responsibility.
The guard flinched at that word. In any era, the thing that the lowest ranks fear the most is responsibility.
“…What should I do?”
“Thoroughly inspect those women.”
I walked towards the whores. Just by subtly releasing mana, I overwhelmed the ordinary women, causing them to tremble.
[Wind Barrier]
I used a level 2 wind magic to create a wall of wind around the whores. It was to prevent the whores from escaping. The whores who saw the magic lowered their gaze. The psychological warfare was a success.
I crossed my arms and spoke to the whores in a mechanical, emotionless voice.
“I will check if you have hidden any weapons in your clothes. Take off your clothes.”
“H-How can you…!”
I looked at the whore who was resisting.
“Eek!”
The whore was terrified and stepped back. But she was blocked by the wind barrier. The wind barrier pushed the whore’s back.
“Take off your clothes. This is a verification process.”
“…Masked One. Even so, this is too much.”
The guard stepped forward. He was sweating and looking straight at me. I thought he was being presumptuous.
‘What makes him act so cocky when he’s weaker than me?’
[Gravity]
I amplified gravity.
Thud! The guard’s knees hit the ground. His upper body was crushed by the gravity, and his head dropped down.
“Ugh, ugh…!”
The guard desperately held on. Veins popped out on his skin. I quietly watched him.
“…I’m, I’m sorry. I, I dared to overstep… my bounds…! Please, stop! If this goes on…!”
Blood burst from his ears and nose. His body gradually lowered until his head touched the ground.
“P-Please, save me…!”
I released the gravity magic.
The guard slumped.
“You must have protected the Baron in your own way until now. But as long as I’m here, you have to follow my way. Any complaints?”
“……No.”
The guard said, coughing dryly.
I looked back at the whores. The whores trembled as they felt my gaze. Some of them were so weak that they collapsed to the ground.
“Take them off.”
“Y-Yes!”
The whores took off their clothes. They weren’t wearing much to begin with, so it didn’t take long for them to be naked.
I quietly swallowed and scanned the whores’ bodies.
“I will start the search now. Stay still.”
I approached them. I checked their belongings and touched the whores’ bodies with my hands.
“…Fake breasts. I can’t be fooled. Did you put weapons inside your breasts?”
“N-No, they’re just artificial breasts.”
“Hmm. I have no choice but to feel them.”
I felt the artificial breasts. As it was an era with advanced technology, the texture was similar to real breasts. But something was 20% lacking. As I pondered what it was, I quickly found the answer. It lacked emotion.
“I will check your mouths. Open your mouths as wide as possible.”
“Yes…”
“…Your teeth are a little different. What did you do to your teeth?”
“I-I had surgery because my teeth were broken a long time ago…”
“I can feel a faint mana from your teeth.”
“Ah. I took a leap of faith and changed them to magic teeth. It’s convenient because I don’t have to worry about cavities or bad breath.”
“…Is that an application of cleanliness magic? There’s all sorts of things. Next, I’ll check the lower area. Lie down and stick out your butts.”
Her face turned pale.
“The lower… area too?”
“The vagina and anus are the best places to hide weapons. Are you feeling ashamed, even though you’re a whore?”
“Whores are human too!”
“……I don’t have time to argue with you. Do as I say.”
Crackling.
Electricity sparked threateningly from my palm. She closed her eyes tightly, lowered her upper body, and stuck her butt out to me.
Her vagina and anus were clean, as if they were regularly maintained. However, her labia minora were a bit too droopy, which was a flaw.
I spread her vagina and anus with my fingers and conducted the examination.
“Pass. No problem. Next.”
The whores trembled with shame as they were examined.
The last whore to be examined seemed to be a newbie. She was weaker than the other whores and kept trembling. Of course, I couldn’t just let it slide.
‘Each woman’s vagina and anus are shaped differently. Well, it’s obvious, but… seeing it with my own eyes is arousing.’
I desperately tried to stop my dick from getting hard.
“No problem. You pass too…”
I stopped talking and paused. I stood the last whore up and carefully examined her body. More specifically, the tattoos on her body.
“W-What is it?”
Black rose tattoos on her waist, shoulders, thighs, and nape. At first glance, they looked like ordinary tattoos.
“…A magic circle.”
The pattern of a magic circle was hidden in the tattoo. It was the work of a skilled magician.
I glanced at her. I couldn’t feel any mana. No matter how I looked at her, she was just an ordinary prostitute. She couldn’t have drawn the tattoo herself…
“Where did you get the tattoo?”
“Huh?”
“Answer me.”
“W-Well, I was introduced to a tattoo artist by a friend’s recommendation…”
Just then.
Black smoke rose from the tattoo on her back. The magic circle was activating.
‘…Dark mana?’
This was dark magic.
After making the judgment, I immediately entered the split second. In the slowed-down vision, I prepared the magic formula. The moment the world returned to its original speed, I activated the magic.
[Gravity]
[Wind Barrier]
[Barrier]
The three magics were activated almost simultaneously. At the same time, the whore in front of me collapsed forward due to the amplified gravity, and her body exploded.
Thud!
Pieces of the whore’s internal organs hit the barrier and slid down.
“Kyaaaaaaaah!”
Amidst the women’s screams, I thought coldly.
‘This is a level 3 dark magic, a living bomb.’
