EP.9 Chapter 9 Novice adventurer Fabre, veteran adventurer Ariana.
I looked down at Amy, who had the blindfold put back on her eyes.
Unlike before, the lust rune engraved on Amy's lower abdomen was emitting a black light, clearly showing its presence.
The holy power that had been protecting her was still slowly growing in size again, but there was a big difference from just before she woke up.
That's because all the holy power that had been protecting Amy until just now was absorbed by my essence and became my experience points.
Because the holy power protected her instead, her body could remain intact without collapsing.
The interesting point was that part of the holy power turned black and seeped into the lust rune.
All the power now shining in the lust rune was that power.
'Did the succubus's lust rune activate as the holy power was corrupted?'
What caught my eye more was.
The power engraved in the lust rune was not absorbed by my essence either.
'Rather, the light became stronger.'
I guessed that demonic energy similar to mine might work differently.
As I was watching Amy fall back into illusion again, Yulia opened the door and came in.
"Why didn't you completely corrupt her? She would be a great asset."
She asked, looking at Amy writhing on the floor.
"Because it's fun to see a priest called God's creation going crazy with desire."
I said, but my true intention was elsewhere.
'The experience points are quite substantial.'
[Level up]
I became one level stronger.
Well, there's no noticeable big change from gaining one level, but it was important that she gave enough experience points to level up.
'Every time she succumbed to her instincts, the color of her holy power changed.'
Like paint staining a canvas, the color of her holy power changed as she fell.
Although it was shining much more murkily than before, almost gray, her power had not yet completely turned black.
I should be able to absorb it one more time.
Since the power that seeped into the lust rune doesn't seem to be absorbed by me, I need to extract as much as possible while playing with her moderately.
I had to move efficiently.
Isn't it the basics of strategy simulation to extract the maximum from limited resources?
Yulia, who was listening to me, bowed her head.
"If that is your will, My Lord."
She lowered her own emotions and obeyed her superior's orders.
It was a moment where her loyalty could be felt.
"Let's go up. Amy will fall in a few days."
"Understood. Then I will briefly wash her and return."
"Alright."
Amy was dirty with sweat, love juices, and semen.
I was curious how she would wash her, but I would just be in the way if I stayed, so I went up.
After the Demon King went up.
Yulia, left alone, looked at Amy sobbing in pleasure.
She who no longer uttered prayers was now more honest with her heart.
"Heuut!!"
How envious.
She was surprised at herself for feeling jealous looking at the sobbing Amy.
Why did she think like this?
Despite even casting magic to avoid being pounced on by the Demon King.
'Get a hold of yourself, Yulia. I'm not qualified.'
No matter how surprised she was, she's a body that once rejected the Demon King.
Moreover, she even caused a misunderstanding by approaching more than necessary to him who didn't have personal feelings for his subordinates.
The moment she saw the Demon King's naked body, she who couldn't resist a succubus's instincts deserved punishment.
Moreover.
-If you're not sincere, don't bother appealing. I have no intention of taking my subordinates lightly.
-I won't ask what kind of relationship we had before I was sealed. However, if you approach me with feelings of love for my past self in this way, I cannot keep you as my subordinate.
The Demon King's eyes looked very sad as he said that.
No, My Lord.
I wasn't serving you while thinking of the previous Demon King.
But she couldn't say it, afraid it would sound like an excuse.
To her, there was no difference between the previous Demon King and the current one.
The lord to whom she must give her loyalty.
You don't need to look at me with such sad eyes.
It was a sincere feeling she couldn't convey yet.
When the Demon King's anger subsides, she would tell him then.
Until then...
"Haa, haa. My Lord..."
Unable to hold back, Yulia licked Amy's body with her blindfold on.
Licking the Demon King's semen splattered on her body, she filled Amy's body with succubus fluids.
"I want to receive the Demon King's semen."
She said, comforting herself.
***
I wiped the dust settled on the gargoyle's shoulders in front of the boss room and plucked off the moss.
"I need to quickly create 1-star monsters to do chores."
I needed creatures like goblins or kobolds that breed quickly and have some intelligence.
Yulia or I can't keep doing this kind of work forever.
For that, adventurers need to come frequently.
It's been a week since the first adventurer party came.
There was still no news.
It should be about time.
Whether it's the guild the party that conquered our dungeon belonged to, or adventurers wandering nearby.
Whatever it is, it's about time for someone to visit the dungeon.
If there are no new visitors even after two days.
'I'll have to forcibly go out and bring them in.'
My growth is important, but the dungeon's growth is even more important.
Balanced development was essential.
-Grrrng.
As I wiped off the dust, the gargoyle bowed its head in gratitude.
"I hope you perform as well as the effort I've put into you."
-Grrrng.
The gargoyle pounded its chest confidently.
Then stone fragments fell from its shoulders.
"I just cleaned up, who's going to clean if you make a mess?"
At my words, the gargoyle scratched its head.
Alright. You won't clean it anyway, and I can't ask Yulia who's washing Amy right now.
I'll do it.
-Grrrng.
The gargoyle's shoulders drooped, thinking it had increased my workload.
Unlike its grotesque appearance, the gargoyle was honest in expressing emotions.
It felt like raising a pet.
Although it's huge for an animal.
'People raise various large animals in the world.'
This isn't bad.
Except for the fact that a lot of dust falls, it's great that I don't have to worry about feeding or cleaning up after it.
'Soon there will be an abundance of such monsters.'
Then the quiet dungeon will have a bit more vitality.
I want to create even low-level mobs quickly.
I want to delegate work to 1-star mobs and rest.
As I was cleaning up the stone fragments, an alert popped up.
[Adventurers are approaching.]
Finally, they've come.
My experience points.
***
"Master, is this the right way?"
The novice adventurer, Fabre, asked while following behind his master who was leading the way.
"This is the right path. I've checked several times. I felt a signal that a new dungeon has appeared!"
The woman he called master wore goggles on her head and advanced forward with her long hair fluttering.
"The blood of an adventurer is calling! When we climb this mountain, I'm sure we'll have a new experience I don't know about!"
The woman whom the novice adventurer Fabre revered as his master was none other than a B-rank adventurer.
She was famous for finding new adventure spots and writing strategies to conquer them. She had even caused a sensation in dungeon conquering by presenting new strategies for existing dungeons.
B-rank adventurer Ariana.
Her skills in conquering dungeons that even A-rank adventurers couldn't, despite being B-rank, were already famous among adventurers and mercenaries.
No one could match her knowledge of dungeons and adventures.
If she says it's right, it's right, and if she says it's not, it's not.
I don't know what kind of dungeon is ahead, but if she says there is one, there must be.
As her disciple, I just need to follow in her footsteps and assist her.
'She's so cool.'
Though small in stature, her back was broad.
Broader and stronger than any adventurer's back.
I can't say I've never faced a crisis in the year I've been following her, but at least I was able to survive because I was with her.
The fact that I, a complete novice, was able to survive for a year without a guild was thanks to her.
"Master, I respect you."
"What's with that all of a sudden? You're embarrassing me."
Ariana avoided Fabre's eyes and adjusted the goggles on her head.
It was a habit she had when she was embarrassed.
"I just wanted to say it once."
"Haha, kid. Are you nervous because there's a dungeon nearby? I understand. I'm a bit nervous too. New adventures always come with tension. Hwa-hwa-hwat!"
As she brushed it off good-naturedly, she seemed relieved and laughed loudly with her hands on her hips, enough to shake the forest.
She didn't seem to care that there might be monsters nearby if it was near a dungeon.
'She's certain there are no monsters nearby.'
Ariana's senses were on a different level from ordinary people.
The fact that she laughed so loudly meant her senses didn't detect any monsters.
I can relax a little.
"Fabre! Quickly, take my hand! Once we cross this hill, there will be a dungeon! A new adventure awaits!"
"Understood, Master."
Fabre felt his face turning red as he held his master's soft hand.
His master probably doesn't know.
That his heart beats like this every time he holds her hand.
That he became her disciple, vowing to follow her, after falling for this confident appearance.
She, who has no knowledge except for adventures, probably won't know.
'Someday, when I become an adventurer who's not shameful to her.'
I'll confess.
I wanted to tell her I like her while reciting the names of dungeons I've conquered.
Asking her to conquer various dungeons together.
After indulging in such wishful fantasies.
"It's a dungeon!"
We arrived in front of a new dungeon.
It was a cave entrance with a huge, ominous-looking bust carved.
