Chapter 103 – Defeated Succubus (13)
Ishtar was born on the fertile Jason Plain between the Eutis and Tempra Rivers on the western continent. At that time, the degree of development of civilization was far behind compared to now, so there was only one imperial country as a country, and human groups were formed in villages in the rest of the area. Ishtar’s hometown was a village in the countryside where she barely managed to feed herself by farming.
At that time, human life was really simple.
Farming, hunting, running away or dying when demons attack. I went to church, prayed to kill the demon king, paid taxes to the imperial kingdom, and waited for a hero to save the world.
That was all.
Ishtar was also an ordinary village girl who grew up smoothly by helping with the village’s farming work.
The reason why the fate of an extremely mediocre girl who was not born with her noble status and could not participate in the warrior expedition due to her innate combat power was twisted and survived to this day after 50,000 years is her beautiful beauty, which is rumored beyond the village and even to the emperor’s country. It was because.
Her face was, in a word, noble.
She works in the fields all day, how is her skin as white as white jade, and why is her chest so big and her hips well-proportioned while she can’t even eat nutritious food?
People were dumbfounded that she was definitely a woman blessed by God.
The village youths did not even dare to propose marriage.
You have to be fairly pretty to take on a challenge. If your beauty is excessive, you feel guilty even trying to approach her. It wasn’t that my liking for someone would hurt that person, it was because Ishtar didn’t look like the kind of person who would become the wife of an incompetent villager.
As expected, the second son of the Countess of the Imperial State, who came to collect her taxes, saw Ishtar and fell in love with her at first sight. She was when Ishtar had just passed her fifteenth year. At that time, it was normal for her to marry at that age, so her second son proposed to her Ishtar.
“A rustic town doesn’t suit you.”
Ishtar got into the carriage and left for the county. The men of her village say that she fell into depression because she couldn’t forget Ishtar, but compared to what would happen to her, that was minor.
The count fell in love at first sight with the bride brought by her son and tried to take Ishtar. The second son rebelled against her father for the first time in her life, and when rumors of her father-son love quarrel spread, nobles, royalty, and wealthy people from all over the country flocked to see what a pretty woman she was. Accomplished
When she came to her senses, her powerful people who wanted Ishtar were competing with each other with their own private soldiers, and the damage her citizens received was enormous. In the end, the emperor himself intervened.
“No one is allowed to touch Ishtar’s body. Ishtar, keep her chastity until she dies.”
It was a blue sky wall.
She thought she was going to be someone’s wife, so she left town and she never let her marry her.
Ishtar despaired of her ironic fate, but she was not over yet.
「It must have been the work of the devil, as her nobles and merchants were possessed by one of her women, Ishtar, and started a war. Among the 〈72 〉 demons, the slaughter unit under the direct control of the demon king, there is Satan who controls men’s minds by playing evil spirits. She proposes that Ishtar be put on heresy and burned at the stake.”
The priest suggested Ishtar’s execution.
At that time, due to the invasion of demons, human lifespan was extremely short, and because of that, the desire for the afterlife was great, and the authority of religious people who naturally sympathized with divine beings was strong. Even the emperor could not carelessly ignore the priest’s opinion.
Ishtar was unjustly tied to a wooden pole and was about to be burned at the stake.
「Oh, oh oh! Oh, how beautiful! Such a beautiful woman cannot be a devil! That must be God’s creation!”
Fortunately, however, the priest who saw Ishtar at the Inquisition exclaimed and changed his opinion. At that time, a criminal undergoing an inquisition under national law was not supposed to wear a single thread, but thanks to that, Ishtar’s body, which seemed to have been carefully sculpted with the skill of a god, was revealed and caught the priest’s eyes.
“This person must become a new goddess!!”
Some kind of twist of fate, coincidentally, the former goddess passed away in an unexpected accident, and her position as goddess was vacant.
The priests and magicians belonging to the imperial kingdom drew a magic circle and placed Ishtar in the center. By order of the emperor, people in all regions of the empire’s influence knelt down and prayed at the same time.
In fact, Ishtar, who only thought that she would receive the grudges of all mankind and the magical powers of the best wizards of the time into one body, help with farming for the rest of her life, and one day marry a wonderful man, give birth to a child, and become a happy mother. She became a goddess carrying the fate of fighting the Demon King’s army.
“It is a goddess! Everyone kneel!”
At the priest’s command, nobles above dukes and court archmages, as well as even the emperor himself, bowed their heads.
The vintage dress her mother had inherited from her mother, who had spent decades sewing her fabric over and over again, disappeared along with her magic circle, and the sacred white cloth covered Ishtar’s sensitive areas.
The piece of cloth fluttering in the wind exquisitely blocked the exposure like a ghost, which seemed to be visible somehow with a little effort. Areas such as the chest, groin, and armpits were thoroughly defended. Because a goddess must always be a pure being.
Even the eyes were covered with a sacred cloth, a measure containing a lesson not to be deceived by the visible form.
With this 〈 Goddess’ Ritual 〉, the highest ranking wizards lost their magic and fell down one after another, but their lifelong efforts were contained in 〈 Goddess Staff 〉 so that they could be used for mankind in the future.
Ishtar, who boasted her beautiful dignity from the beginning, became a goddess, and after she became a goddess, she truly transformed into a divine appearance and subjugated the hearts of humans with only her appearance.
“Raise your head, children of men. From now on, Ishtar will look down on you as the goddess of the new western continent. Even after everyone here dies, I swear that I will remain here and defeat the Demon King.”
Fifty thousand years have passed since then—.
So many things have happened that I can’t even tell you.
Countless people died.
Most of the people she knew had died first.
There were many moments when she almost defeated her demon lord, but each failed.
In particular, the hero, Hayato, was really precious.
I thought she was the true hero I’d been waiting for.
When she thinks of Hayato, her heart still hurts.
But she always has something to lose and something to gain.
Although Hayato died, the demon king’s downfall was happening in an unexpected place.
Surprisingly, an earthling named Kim Ho-young overpowered the devil and played with him like a child.
At this rate, you can kill the Demon King at any time.
Step.
Kim Ho-young is obviously strong, but… It is unclear whether she is still a good being.
Ishtar was convinced that leading Kim Ho-young to the right path was his mission here.
That is the last mission as a goddess.
If you can do this… We can finally kill the demon king and save the western continent.
It is to fulfill mankind’s longing.
If that happens, the goddess will no longer be needed, and Ishtar will probably…
No, it doesn’t really matter.
First of all, the last mission is to be done first.
“Kim Ho-young! Did you come back after having sex with the Demon King again?!”
“Ah, what is it, Ishtar? Nagging again?”
“Don’t think of it as nagging! This is all~ I’m telling you to be well!”
It was a typical pattern of nagging.
Ishtar thumped her on the ground with the staff of the goddess and began admonishing her as if she were her teacher.
“You must not underestimate the Demon King! She has millions of minions and her strength is greater than all of Earth’s armies put together! You want to protect this planet you love too, right?”
“Hmm? Not sure… “
“… “
Ishtar puffed out her cheeks like a bird of prey and glared at her.
An excuse came out without my knowledge. How to say… I feel like an alley leader scolded by the class president.
“Ah, no, I don’t want the earth to perish either.”
“Then listen to me! You are the only man who can kill the Demon King! In other words, you’re like a warrior! Of course, as a goddess, I haven’t officially installed it yet!”
“Ha… So, did you officially appoint me?”
“That, that… ! I will hold off!”
“Why? He said I was the only man who could kill the Demon King.”
“… It hasn’t been long since Hayato died, and he’s sorry for choosing a new hero (Sogon)”
“What?”
“Oh, nothing! After all, you are only using your powers for personal pleasure! You can’t do that!”
The existence of a goddess assumes the duty of killing personal feelings to the fullest and working only for humanity and the continent. It was dereliction of duty for Ishtar not to appoint the right person for her as her hero because of her longing for Hayato, but there was no one to blame her here.
“In that respect, Hayato was great! That person missed his family, but he was aware of the situation in the western continent being persecuted by the demon king and carried out his mission with the spirit of selfless service!”
“Then tell that guy named Hayato to kill the demon lord. Don’t bother me.”
“… It can’t be. Because he is already dead.”
“What? He said he was a warrior. Oh, did Bianca kill you by any chance? Shall I avenge you?”
The one who killed Hayato was me… Goddess Ishtar.
Of course, he had been forcibly killed by Bianca’s order, but the feeling of his hand as he cut Hayato’s throat was still sharp.
“Tell me who killed Hayato. I will avenge you.”
“… Rather than that, you first focus on weakening the demon lord and completely annihilating it.”
“Whoa~ Disappear? I have no intention of destroying it.”
“What, what?”
The death of the demon king is an absolute condition.
It was the purpose that Ishtar had continued her life for 50,000 years.
A man named Kim Ho-yeong cut it off with a single knife, sighing. His reason for not killing the demon king was also speculative. At least for Ishtar to hear.
“I think Bianca would make a useful slave. I plan to keep her alive and treat her like Himeko. Ah. Who is Himeko… ”
“Don’t be ridiculous!!!”
The anger I had been holding back exploded.
Slave? Do you pamper
Just for that… Abandoning the responsibility of those with power!
“Do you know how much suffering I went through for the moment I killed the Demon King?! If the demon king doesn’t die, the western continent will continue to tremble in fear of being killed by demons forever! You… You are such a strong person… How about becoming even one hundredth as righteous as Hayato?! Then that head that only contains shit will be purified a little bit!!”
“What… ? Hey. Are you talking harshly?”
“The worst thing is your perverted libido!!! It doesn’t matter if it’s a demon king or a succubus, they commit crimes and rape… No beast in heat would do that!!”
“It is the providence of nature for a man and a woman to have sex, but why? I bet you haven’t.”
“I am a virgin goddess who has kept her virginity for over 50,000 years… ! Please don’t see me as a human being like you and the same race as you.”
“Ah… Okay? I see.”
Kim Ho-young slaps her palms, saying she was happy that she would finally know how to solve it.
“That’s why you keep trembling. Then, if I tell you about the joy of sex, you won’t nag me any more, will you?”
“I beg your pardon?”
Ishtar squeezed the staff of the goddess. It was a sacred weapon created by ancient wizards who devoted all their five bodies to the point of shortening their lifespan. It was full of forbidden, sealed, and forgotten magic that ordinary wizards or demons could not imagine, so even the devil coveted it, but its users were limited to goddesses.
“Shall I tell you what you mean? You are a user of great magic that confuses the human mind. He must be planning to hypnotize me with that magic and turn me into a so-called pervert who likes to mate. But be forewarned.”
Ishtar extended her goddess staff to Kim Ho-young with eyes full of more vigilance than the demon king.
“Psychic magic doesn’t work on goddesses! Actions can be forced with curses such as the so-called 〈 Yin Word 〉, but no one can ever invade the 〈 Mind 〉 that is protected by holy magic! Change your mind right now and concentrate only on defeating the demon lord! If you try to brainwash me even a little… I will tell you in advance.”
The beads decorated at the top of the goddess’ wand began to spin round and round with a bleak sound.
“Your magic will reflect and gnaw at your spirit. I am not harmed If my words sound like lies, where can I test them? Thanks to you, the Demon King has become very weak. If you have a personality no different from a demon king, I will drop you into madness here, find the real hero, and kill the weakened Bianca. Ruler! What are you going to do, Kim Ho-young!”
There was not a single lie in Ishtar’s words.
The spirit of the goddess belongs to the heavenly realm, so creatures of the underworld can never interfere. Even Bianca couldn’t stain Ishtar’s heart.
The staff of the goddess spread a barrier that could counter all current magic, invisible to human eyes. Ishtar warned once again.
“I am the noble goddess Ishtar. You can’t put a finger on me and I’m forever! I won’t feel filthy sexual desire until the day my role ends and I return to heaven! Humans who covet the body of a goddess always meet a terrible end. Justice for you! Is it death! There is only one way left!”
“That is very noisy. Ok, i’ve decided In the future you will be a sow. You’re too proud, so from now on, when you speak, you’ll need to add “Buhee” At the beginning and “Ppyo” At the end to become vulgar.”
“… That’s your choice. I like Hoyoung Kim… It is you who becomes the sow. You may not want to open your mouth because of the strange tone you have chosen, but it is self-inflicted. Then, despair.”
The voice that came out of Kim Ho-yeong’s mouth became a wave using the air as a medium and ran into her staff’s barrier. And she just changed her direction and went to Kim Ho-young.
