Chapter 345 – Mutation
#345.
“Oh, don’t come! Get out of here!”
Helya, whose upper and lower bodies were separated, crawled on her floor screaming as if causing a game. She left a red trail of blood along the way she passed.
Gaon stepped on Helya’s back, thoroughly excluding unnecessary emotions.
To suffocate her as she was, holding her spear in reverse and aiming it at her head, Helya screamed in her desperation.
“Mmm, stop! Kill me and he won’t stay still!”
“He?”
“Okay! I’m sure you’ve heard of it too. Name it Dimension Eater! Anyway, Union will be in his hands soon! If he found out that he killed me then, he would never be safe? You and everyone involved will suffer for eternity in the future! So get your feet off me right now!”
Also as expected She had guessed from the time she heard about her renegade from Lunarie Obrius, a saint of the Demonic Church, but Helya was an invader who sneaked in under the orders of the Dimension Eaters.
However, she did not seem to be that loyal, putting her own life ahead of her knowledge of the Dimension Eaters.
Gaon wondered if he could somehow capture them alive and extract the information, but soon concluded that the risk was too high and shook his head.
Helia, who was watching the action, felt her murderous and uttered her menacing remarks one after another.
“Wait a minute! Can you really kill me?”
“What are you talking about?”
“That woman! Didn’t she say Lee Soo-rin? That woman’s body is now half mutated into a succubus. Only I can bring it back to normal. If you kill me here and now, that woman will have to live as a half-penny succubus for the rest of her life!”
“…”
Gaon’s face twisted.
I didn’t see any traits that would immediately tell her that she was a succubus, such as a tail or horns, so I thought she was still okay, but I guess I was mistaken.
Although she is only half, she does not know what characteristics she would develop if she mutated into a succubus.
Gaon, who continued to ponder for a while, thinking about the worst case scenario, bit his lip. Even so, it was because he couldn’t leave Helya alive.
It was unknown whether Helya would return Surin to her human body without hesitation.
It would be a big deal if her lovers died because she was greedy.
Thinking that far, Gaon threw away her hesitation and decided to kill Helya.
“Oh, oh no! Wait! Wait for a sec… !”
Helya, who was keenly aware of her life, tried to stop Gaon in a hurry, but she did not pick up the decision she had already made.
Pooh!
Gaon resolutely thrust her spear, turning Helya’s brain into mush.
No matter how tough her demons are, if her brain is destroyed, she will die. Gaon pulled out his spear, trying to shake off the unpleasant tactile sensation on his fingertips.
“Ha…”
It’s finally over.
From Barg to Helia. The two consecutive fights drained all of Gaon’s strength. As he was recovering his strength by repeating his deep breathing, Rivera sneaked up to her.
“It’s over now.”
“…”
“What you looking at?”
Looking at her blankly, Rivera asked with one eyebrow furrowed. It’s a natural attitude that makes you wonder if you really don’t know.
Gaon asked bluntly.
“Ribera. Did you really believe in this succubus?”
“You believe?”
“You attacked me because that woman said she would spare you. I never thought I would act so carelessly.”
To be honest, I was a little disappointed.
She thought that trust had been built up as the time they spent together grew longer, but it was because she fell for nothing at the candy-coated words.
Facing Gaon, Rivera tilted her head slightly before saying,
“That’s why I told you beforehand. Please don’t die.”
“When?”
“Didn’t you see? You did it with your mouth. I thought you would understand.”
In Gaon’s mind, the scene of Rivera licking her lips just before she rushed at him came to mind.
“Ah, that.”
“Okay. That. I warned you. You didn’t notice.”
“… I will just send a telegram.”
“You might find out.
Certainly it was. If it was Helya, he would have noticed that they were talking about something through the waves of mana, even if it wasn’t the contents of the transmission.
Gaon, who couldn’t find room to dig further into Rivera’s answer, which was more logical than he thought, kept silent with her embarrassed face.
Isabella, who was casually watching the two of them, patted Gaon on the shoulder and said,
“Why don’t we stop playing with words and take care of the group first? It seems that my beloved mother-in-law has not come to her senses yet.”
“Isabella, words like that cover the place. Other people listen.”
“Puha! Is your voice louder than mine? Rather, let’s go. You don’t even have to clean up after yourself. Ariel Sabrina is also awake, so let’s finish talking.”
“Whoa… All right.”
Gaon, who had barely calmed down his agitation, checked Rivera wagging her tail as if he wasn’t interested, then headed to the place where her party was.
They gathered around Surin, who was still down, and were talking.
As Gaon approached, Ariel, who had been secretly waiting for a glance, jumped to her feet.
“Gaon. First of all, I’d like to thank you. Thank you for coming to rescue me.”
“It’s okay. Of course it was something I had to do. But is Ariel okay? She seemed to be mutating into a succubus.”
The object that Helya originally wanted to change her body for was probably Ariel. Then, by chance, she must have found Surin and changed her subject.
If that’s the case, it means Ariel was also exposed to things that mutate her body.
When she asked worriedly, Ariel stared at Surin with her sorry expression.
“Ah! I have no problem. I’m sorry to say this, but I took a back seat when he was caught in the middle. It stopped before it could mutate.”
“… Okay. Do you know anything about the succubus?”
“No. I have no idea either. I’m sorry, but I guess I’ll have to take a closer look. How about getting out of here for now? We also have to correct the chaos in the Republic.”
“All right. I’ve been holding on too long Let’s calm down the fuss for now and talk slowly.”
How to react late at a critical moment only when you are unnecessarily excited. Gaon struggled to maintain his composure and left the root of the World Tree with all his companions.
After being assigned a room by Li Mian’s guidance, they laid Su-Lin on the bed and began examining her in every possible way.
First of all, Gaon penetrated the aura and lightly contemplated the inside.
I don’t know if there are any differences between the body structure of a succubus and a human except for the horns and tail, but I couldn’t find anything strange right away.
As Gaon stepped back, suppressing his regret, Chorin asked with worried eyes.
“Are there any problems?”
“No. Not at all. The body structure itself is no different from before. Of course, I’ve never looked closely at the inside of a succubus’ body, so it’s hard to be sure. If I had known it would be like this, I would have looked at Rubia-san’s body.”
“… I can’t help it. Then, from now on, we will find out.”
“Yes. Please.”
Even the party here was a pile of top-notch wizards. If they all exercised their collective intelligence, they might be able to find the answer.
Of course, that was just a false hope.
For more than 30 minutes, I used all sorts of magic to check Surin’s condition, but I couldn’t find any problems, let alone a way to reverse it.
In the end, her party decided to call Rubia, who had the least possibility.
-Hello? Guild leader?
“Yes. Miss Rubia. That’s me. A complicated matter has arisen, so could she come to the Republic?”
-Am I?
“Yes. It’s very serious. Today… It’s troubling that the uproar hasn’t been settled yet, so how about tomorrow? If you ask Ariel, you will be able to come right through her gate.”
-… All right. I’ll have it ready.
“Thank you. See you tomorrow morning.”
Having made an appointment, Gaon cut off contact and was lost in thought for a while. She knows that although Rubia is a succubus, she is not very good at this sort of thing.
If even Rubia can’t use her hands, she will eventually have no choice but to go find a saint of the Demonic Church.
‘It’s dangerous, but can I help it?’
The Healing Church is still digging here and there in search of the saint of the Demonic Church. Since Gaon and the others are also people of interest, they must have been monitored. In such cases, annoying things can happen if you contact them.
However, it is outrageous to say that Surin is neglected because he is afraid of the healing church. Gaon decided to make a big deal out of this.
Of course, it is not finalized as it is just her assumption when Rubia can’t find her solution.
Gaon looked down at Surin’s sleeping face and hardened his face.
***
The next morning, Gaon headed to the gate to meet Rubia.
Yesterday evening, Ariel, who finished the republic’s probation, checked the condition of Surin, but as expected, there was no harvest.
Now, if it wasn’t really Rubia, she should consider contacting a saint of the Demonic Cult.
After a while, when the time promised in advance came, the gate was activated and Rubia’s appearance was revealed.
“Miss Rubia. Welcome. Did you have any trouble?”
“Ah… Guild Master. Don’t worry too much. I’m fine. What the hell is going on?”
“I will explain that as we go. Come this way.”
On his way to the World Tree, Gaon told him about a series of situations that had occurred in the World Tree. It wasn’t a complicated story when I put it together, so the explanation was over before 5 minutes had passed.
After hearing that Surin had transformed into a succubus, Rubia stroked her chin and said,
“I don’t know if it’s just words. It’s the first time I’ve encountered it.”
“I understand. You don’t have to worry too much.”
“Thank you for your consideration. Anyway, I never thought the queen would change… I couldn’t imagine. The position of the succubus in the Pandemonium must have been difficult.”
Rubia smiled bitterly.
Helya, who can be said to be the representative of her race, is attached to the dimension eater, so no matter what other succubus think, prejudice is bound to arise.
Even starting with her, there must have been a lot of renegades from other races, so she was even more like that.
Gaon thought for a moment about what to comfort him, then shook his head. Even if a third party who does not know the situation makes a noise, he will only produce a backlash.
She walked in such a somewhat awkward atmosphere that she quickly arrived at the room where Su-rin was.
When she opened the door and entered, Cho-rin, who was taking care of her, jumped up.
“Miss Rubia. Welcome!”
“Ah, Mr. Chorin. I’m glad you’re safe.”
“Thank you for your concern. I’m sorry, but can you take care of your mother first? She still can’t come to her senses…”
“All right. Wait a minute.”
When Chorin moved away from her seat, Rubia immediately sat down on her chair, rolled up the blanket, and placed her hand on Surin’s belly.
It’s like the tattoo on his lower stomach, and that seems to be an important organ for a succubus.
In fact, since it is a race with sexual characteristics, the womb was inevitably special.
Rubia, who had been silently concentrating for several minutes, let out a sigh and raised her head.
“You really are a succubus. It wasn’t stained by demonic energy, but it seems that some of its characteristics were manifested.”
“A characteristic? Is it bad?”
“Hmm… I haven’t figured out everything, but I think I can absorb the spirit.”
Elemental absorption can be seen as the most essential ability for a succubus, as much as invading dreams.
Chorin blushed slightly at the action that her words reminded her of and opened her mouth.
“If it’s regular…”
“Yes. Male semen. Succubus can use the spirit in various places. The simplest would be a meal replacement or mana recovery.”
“Then, do I have to accept it regularly like Rubia?”
“I don’t know. A normal succubus would of course think so, but isn’t it the queen who tried to take over Surin’s body? A succubus queen isn’t bound by those restrictions. Then, perhaps Surin-san is also free from restrictions?”
In the end, that means nothing is certain.
However, when she thought of it as a normal way of thinking, she couldn’t have put strange restrictions on the body she was settling into, saying that Helia was crazy.
Of course, it’s too sensitive to make a conclusion based on mere inference.
Gaon, in particular, could never be overlooked.
‘If I had to accept the regularity…’
The target should be yourself. Gaon sincerely thought so. She didn’t want to imagine Surin absorbing another man’s semen.
Gaon asked urgently.
“Miss Rubia. Are there any other things I need to be careful of?”
“A note?”
“Yes. Among the characteristics of a succubus.”
“Um, that…”
Rubia could not easily answer what was on her mind. Gaon suppressed her frustration and asked the question again.
“Is there?”
“… No. No. A few things come to mind, but Surin is not applicable. It’s all about children. You can rest assured.”
“Okay. Fortunately, the.”
I couldn’t find a way to wake up Surin, but I’m relieved to know that there are no immediate problems.
But you can’t be satisfied with that either.
‘Now that it’s like this, I’ll have to stick to the plan.’
If it was Lunarie Orbius, the saintess of the Demonic Cult, she would probably be able to accurately diagnose Surin’s current condition.
Gaon made the decision to return tomorrow.
