Chapter 683 – 683. Vanguard – Alien Invasion
683. Alien Invasion
“Kkyaaaaaaaak!”
Dark Maker screamed, rolling on the floor before colliding with a ghost tree. As if waiting for this, the ghost tree swallowed Dark Maker.
I sheathed my sword and said, “Cloud, let’s go.”
I didn’t care whether Dark Maker lived or died. I thought Cloud, who wasn’t a hero aiming for non-violence, would feel the same. However, she was looking at the ghost tree with a serious expression.
“Cloud?”
“…We have to save Dark Maker.”
“He’s a villain and tried to kill us. Saving him will only hinder us. Finding the witch of the Underworld is more urgent.”
“Dark Maker isn’t an ordinary villain. He’s committed all sorts of crimes, and he’s probably still committing them. We need to capture him and extract information. That’s the only way we can save more people.”
Come to think of it, he had completely ignored me, who was standing next to Cloud. If you’re next to a hero, you’d naturally be wary of them, but he wasn’t wary of me at all.
‘He thought I was a regular person. Even though this is the Underworld.’
In other words, Dark Maker already knew about me.
‘It’s strange that he’s here too… Is there a traitor in the higher-ups or the government?’
My gut tells me it would be easier to just kill him here, but I decided to follow Cloud’s opinion. I had no intention of opposing her.
“It’s fine to save him, but he was eaten by the ghost tree. Do you think he’ll still be alive?”
“Do you know how tough that guy is? Cockroaches are cute compared to him.”
“Cockroaches are cute… Seriously. I respect you, Cloud.”
“That’s just a figure of speech! A figure of speech!”
Cloud held out her palm towards the ghost tree. The wind and clouds created in front of her palm flew towards the ghost tree. The wind tore through the ghost tree. Just as she said, Dark Maker was alive inside the ghost tree. The clouds wrapped around Dark Maker’s body, trying to pull him out.
“Oh, what? He’s pretty strong. I can’t get him out easily.”
The shape of the ghost tree, torn by the wind, returned to its original form. Ghost tree. It was literally a ghost. It’s difficult to deal with using ordinary physical attacks.
“…S, doesn’t he seem a bit strange?”
Cloud pointed at Dark Maker.
Creak. Creak.
I saw Dark Maker awkwardly getting up, as if those were the sound effects. Dark Maker was running towards us like a puppet. Blood scattered from the shoulder area where my sword had struck, dripping onto the floor.
“It’s obvious he’s being controlled by the ghost tree.”
“He’s not usually this pathetic. The wound you gave him must have been pretty bad. Did you learn swordsmanship too?”
“Actually, I’m more talented with swords than guns.”
A wind barrier rose. Dark Maker, who was running towards us, crashed into the wind barrier and bounced back.
“…We need to take down the ghost tree, but if we get too close, we could end up like him, right? Any good ideas?”
“I’ll handle it.”
“Are you crazy?”
Cloud grabbed my shoulder. Cloud, who doesn’t know me well, sees me as someone she needs to protect. Well, it’s true that I’m weaker than her since I can’t use mana.
“This sword I have, Ausbeider, isn’t just a sword that shines faintly. Even though it’s the weakest of the Lord Saber’s swords, it has the ability to cut what cannot be cut.”
“You’re going to go and cut the ghost tree? No way. Let me handle it.”
“Do you know how to use a sword?”
“I don’t know. Isn’t it just like swinging a baseball bat?”
“……I’ll just do it.”
I rushed forward. I had mental resistance, and I also had complete recovery that instantly recovered me from any abnormal state. The ghost tree was no match for me.
“Hey! S! Eugene!!”
Cloud shouted from behind. Judging by the voice filled with annoyance and worry, I thought I’d get hit a few times after this was over.
Dark Maker was targeting me. Creak, creak. His movements were still puppet-like, but a little more natural than before. If I had given him more time, it might have become a dangerous situation.
Thwack!
Dark Maker flew far away from a clean back kick. Blood spurted out as if the wound was getting worse. He wasn’t an ordinary human, so he wouldn’t die. Not that I cared if he did.
‘He’s aware of me.’
I could feel the ghost tree’s gaze. I drew my sword, pointed it forward, and charged towards the ghost tree.
The ghost tree opened its mouth. From the ghost tree’s perspective, I looked like a foolish prey running in alone.
Its mouth stretched out.
‘A split second.’
I dodged the mouth trying to swallow me and slashed the tree with my sword.
-Aaaaaaaah!
The ghost tree’s eerie scream echoed. Unlike when it was torn by Cloud’s wind, I could feel that it was panicking and writhing in pain.
‘Seize the opportunity!’
Yeongcheon Style (影天流) Streamline (流線).
I didn’t miss the opportunity and slashed the ghost tree to pieces. I chopped it into more than 200 pieces and lowered my sword. My arm was tingling.
I frowned when I looked at the floor. The chopped pieces of the ghost tree were wriggling.
‘Do I need to aim for a core or something to kill it? Or… can it not be killed in the first place?’
Considering that the Lord Saber of the past didn’t get rid of the ghost tree even after seeing it, the latter was more likely.
“S! Let’s go! Dark Maker is back to normal!”
Cloud shouted from behind. She was grabbing Dark Maker by the back of his neck and retrieving him. Dark Maker didn’t move, so it seemed he had fainted.
“We don’t know how the ghost tree will react. Let’s get out of here for now.”
Aaaaaaaah….
We left the eerie sound of the ghost tree behind and went to a safe place.
“His injuries are severe. Is it okay to leave him like that?”
“It’s fine. Last time, his arm was cut off, but he recovered in a day. His regeneration ability is better than mine.”
Cloud pulled out clouds from her hand like pulling out rice cakes and wrapped them around Dark Maker’s body to restrain him. Not just once, but more than 10 times.
“He can’t escape with this. Let’s see what his face looks like first.”
“You don’t even know his face?”
“Actually, this is the first time I’ve captured him alive like this.”
Cloud took off Dark Maker’s dark mask.
“What? He looks like a nerd.”
She muttered disappointedly.
Dark Maker was a young man who looked like a college student. He had brown hair, freckles, and acne on his face. He had the face of a model student who would look good in glasses. He was quite handsome, but not to Cloud, it seemed.
I took a picture of Dark Maker. From now on, Dark Maker wouldn’t be able to live a normal life.
“He’s unconscious, so let’s take him with us.”
Dark Maker’s body floated in the air. Our journey in the Underworld resumed.
•••
“Give up, Cloud. I won’t say anything.”
Dark Maker, who had woken up, said with a stiff face. Cloud, without hesitation, clenched her fist and hit Dark Maker’s head.
“Kuh-euk.”
“Tell me nicely.”
“You crazy bitch. Is that something you say after hitting me?”
“This is just a taste. Do you want to see something worse?”
“Is a hero of justice going to torture me?”
“Hmph.”
Cloud snorted and swung her fist again. Dark Maker didn’t give in even as he was being hit. He became a punching bag and was beaten.
“Cloud, I’ll interrogate him.”
I grabbed her waist. The precarious area leading to her buttocks. Cloud’s face turned slightly red.
“Wh-what are you going to do? No torture.”
“It’s not torture… First, I’ll shave his head.”
Both of their eyes widened at the unexpected words.
Dark Maker openly laughed at me.
“Is that all you’re going to do? Shave it if you want.”
I shaved his head with a knife I had brought. His confident attitude gradually disappeared along with his disappearing hair.
“You’ve become a shiny Dark Maker.”
“Pfft.”
“……You. I’ll remember your face.”
“I’m so scared. I should cut off one more.”
“Cut off an arm or a leg, whatever you want. I recommend cutting off his neck.”
If Cloud hadn’t been next to me, I would have cut off his neck right away. But as long as Cloud was there, I couldn’t kill him openly.
I drew my sword. He gulped. There was a limit to his bluff.
“What I’m going to cut is your third leg.”
I swung my sword roughly towards his crotch.
“Kkyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!”
A terrible scream echoed. I swung my sword roughly, but it was cut off properly. His penis and testicles fell with a thud. Blood spurted out. The darkness that emanated from Dark Maker’s body quickly wrapped around his groin.
“It was a pretty decent size. But too bad. You’ll never be able to use it again.”
I mocked Dark Maker. But he couldn’t even hear my mockery and was just writhing in pain.
“Ew.”
Cloud gagged and stepped back. I could feel her gaze of reproach towards me. Judging by the lack of nagging, it was barely within the acceptable range.
“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you! I’ll definitely kill you!! Kkyaaaaaaaaaak!”
He went berserk. But he was still restrained by the clouds, so all he could do was wriggle like an earthworm.
“He’s still not in his right mind.”
“Stop it.”
Cloud grabbed my arm and stopped me.
“It’s okay. I don’t plan to cut off his arms or stab him with a knife. Instead.”
I sheathed my sword, wrapped my arm around Cloud’s waist, pulled her close, and touched her ample breasts. The skintight suit that didn’t hide the curves of her body was sexy every time I saw it.
“Wh-what are you doing? Are you crazy?!”
“Let’s show him how close we are.”
“Don’t joke around and let go… Mmm….”
I turned on the arousal boost and kissed her while commanding her pussy.
‘Pussy, get wet. And stimulate the uterus a bit too.’
-Are you having sex? Got it.
“Uuuh… Mmm….”
Cloud resisted at first, but then started kissing me actively. It was partly because her body was forcibly aroused, but she also felt that kissing was okay. Of course, I had no intention of ending it with just a kiss.
My hand caressed her chest, and my other hand stroked her buttocks. Before Cloud, with her eyes wide open, could push me away, I poked her crotch with my stiff cock that was bulging over my pants.
“Uuuuuh!”
“Hoo. Cloud. You just came lightly, didn’t you? I know everything. Your pussy is telling me.”
“Y-you used your ability!”
Cloud said, her face flushed.
“…Don’t do this. This is the Underworld. It’s a dangerous place. And Dark Maker is watching too.”
“It’s true that it’s a dangerous place, but we have plenty of time. We don’t need to worry about his gaze.”
I kissed her lips again. She was completely aroused, and after hesitating, she finally chose pleasure. I pulled down the zipper hidden on her back. Her breasts, which had been compressed by the skintight suit, became a little bigger.
“Seriously… Your ability is too overpowered. My pussy doesn’t obey my will. It means a part of my body has been taken by you.”
“There’s not much a pussy can do. It’s not as free as your hands and feet. Well, it’s the most pleasurable part of the body, though.”
Cloud hesitated. It was her first time having sex in front of someone. For her sake, I took off my clothes first and became naked. When I started first, she also mustered the courage to take off her skintight suit, revealing her beautiful body.
I touched her pink pussy. Her pussy was already wet.
-Eugene’s fingers! It feels so good!
Her pussy throbbed, welcoming my fingers. Squish, squish. A lewd sound of water echoed.
“Kkyaaaaaak! You bas, Kkyaaaaaaaak!”
Dark Maker screamed. It was a voice mixed with pain and hatred. As a man, he would have felt blood rushing to his lower body after seeing Cloud’s beautiful naked body, but without a penis, he would only feel pain.
“L-let’s just do it quickly and finish it.”
“Yes, let’s.”
She wrapped her arms around my neck. I lifted her left thigh. I thrust my cock into her open pussy. The walls of her vagina, soaked with fluids, wrapped around my cock. As expected, the tightness of her pussy was the best.
“Haaaaaaaang”
