Chapter Title: Black Magic Breakthrough and Raider Assault
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It was a method I'd never tried before, but it turned out to be more effective than I'd imagined.
For someone just starting out in black magic, it would take at least a month to hold even a tiny amount of demonic energy in their body. But she'd managed it in just a few days.
Before using this approach, I'd thought it would be at least a month before Seo-yun could use something like Mana Drain. Now it seemed she might be able to do it much sooner.
It was enough to make me wonder if I needed to have sex with her every day to stimulate her dantian.
"Hey, wake up."
I poked the cheek of the still-lying Seo-yun with my finger. Her eyelids fluttered, then slowly lifted.
"Ugh... M-Master? Why are you here... Ah!"
Seo-yun, just waking up, stared blankly at my face at first, then startled and covered her body with her hands.
"We saw each other naked and had sex last night—what's there to hide now? More importantly, it looks like you've gathered demonic energy in your dantian. Tell me about your current status."
"Ah, that... I'm not really sure. Last night, when Master sent the demonic energy into me, my mind went completely white. I couldn't think of anything."
"What? I could've sworn you were trying to control the demonic energy then. Wasn't that you doing it?"
Seo-yun slowly nodded.
Did she control it unconsciously?
Maybe she had more talent than I'd realized.
Affinity for demonic energy aside, the fact that she'd managed even partial control unconsciously was impressive in itself.
Over half of those starting black magic spend ages just trying to store demonic energy in their dantian. Even with my help, Seo-yun had already managed a small amount.
People struggle with the first success. Repeating it afterward isn't so hard.
"Then try bringing the demonic energy from your dantian to your palm."
I wanted to check if she could do it consciously, after succeeding unconsciously.
Seo-yun closed her eyes, focusing as she heard my words.
But even after waiting several minutes, no demonic energy appeared in her palm.
"Huh? It's definitely there in my dantian like you said... but I can't get it out on command."
"Hmm. Since it was unconscious, maybe it's too much for her in this state?"
Sure enough, as Seo-yun said, the demonic energy in her dantian just sat there, refusing to come out.
A fluke success, and she couldn't control it properly yet.
But regardless, she'd stored demonic energy in her dantian. Even if by chance, success was success.
"Alright, then today's goal is to control the demonic energy inside you."
"Yes, Master."
"And that dildo stuffed in your pussy—think it's time to take it out? I put it there to keep the semen from leaking, but you're good now, right?"
I pointed toward her pussy with my finger. Seo-yun's face turned bright red as she covered it with her hand.
"I-It's fine..."
"Whatever you want. I'm heading out now anyway."
Having checked on Seo-yun, it was time for me to get to my own tasks.
But as I turned to leave, Seo-yun grabbed me.
Wondering what was up, I looked back. She hemmed and hawed, unable to speak properly.
"M-Master... C-Could you... do it again today...?"
Do it again?
I racked my brain, wondering what she meant. Only one thing came to mind.
"You mean stimulate your dantian like last night?"
Seo-yun nodded vigorously.
Seeing that sparked a mischievous urge in me.
"Is that because your demonic energy control has improved, or... because you liked cumming from the stimulation?"
"Huh?!"
"Or are you just saying that because last night's sex felt so good and you want another round?"
I'd said it purely as a joke, 100% teasing.
I figured she'd panic, wave her hands, and deny it.
But Seo-yun just blushed, avoided my gaze, lowered her head, and said nothing.
What was this?
Did she actually want more sex because last night was that good?
Even though it was her first time and she should've had muscle aches or discomfort, she still wanted more?
Maybe she was even more of a pervert than I'd imagined.
"Fine, if I have time, I'll come by. It felt good for me too."
"R-Really?"
"How to put it... Injecting the demonic energy was like flipping a switch, turning you into an onahole squeezing my dick. It was a fresh kind of sex. Might've felt even better because of that?"
Most women might get offended hearing that, but Seo-yun looked even happier.
Oh, right—I'd promised Mi-young we'd do it today.
Hmm... Should I just do them both together?
But sex with Seo-yun inevitably involved demonic energy talk, so including Mi-young would be tricky.
Besides, I'd already decided on one person for a threesome with Mi-young.
No other woman came to mind besides her.
Imagining Mi-young and that girl together... it'd be delicious beyond belief.
"On second thought, I have a prior commitment, so today won't work. Next time."
"I see... Well, nothing to be done then."
I walked over to the disappointed Seo-yun and gently stroked her head.
"But next time, I'll make it feel even better than yesterday. And if you get better at handling demonic energy by then, it'll be even more intense."
"Yes! I'll practice hard!"
"Good. Keep at it~"
I waved to Seo-yun and headed to the rooftop to think about what to do with Yeouido.
Should I leave that so-called paradise alone, or smash it to pieces?
If I wanted, wiping it out solo wouldn't be hard. One mid-tier spell could eliminate their leaders as easily as taking candy from a crying kid.
But that didn't mean I had to destroy it.
Strictly speaking, I had no grudge against Yeouido. I'd only gone there out of curiosity about their "paradise" claims.
Plus, there was nothing there posing a real threat to me.
My base and zombie-hunting grounds didn't overlap with theirs.
Overall, it wasn't worth bothering with.
I just needed to grab that bitch Joo Hye-ri and give her a beating.
Besides, their boss had some pretty useful traits and skills.
Especially that one that doubled things—I wanted it bad.
He'd said it had a daily limit for some reason. Probably due to insufficient mana, I figured.
If I had that skill... it'd be insane.
Any way to steal skills?
There had to be traits or skills that let you steal from other Awakeners.
Likely unique, so not for sale. Maybe rare drop from mutant zombies or first-clear reward from high-difficulty dungeons.
Dungeon rewards seemed most likely.
Drops could spread to many Awakeners, but first clears let you control the numbers.
So I needed to scout more dungeons.
Hoping So-hee and Ha Dong-seok find a bunch.
Just as I thought about heading out myself, a signal came in.
"What's this? A signal from the Haedong Faction?"
I'd given them a way to call me when they needed help. They'd summoned me a few times during the zombie wave. Looked like trouble again.
"These guys call me more than I expected. Maybe I should have them come to my base instead?"
Running over every time was a time sink.
Still, a promise was a promise. I'd go help.
I dashed to their building as fast as possible.
Whatever it was, needing my help meant it was urgent, right?
It took less than ten minutes to arrive.
"What the hell?"
I'd assumed some mutant zombie they couldn't handle had shown up, and they were calling me to take it down.
But there wasn't a single zombie around.
Instead, a group of heavily armed strangers with guns had surrounded the Haedong Faction's building.
They weren't new recruits—that much was clear.
From their stance, they looked ready to take over the place.
Raiders hitting the Haedong Faction.
I wondered why they'd shown up so suddenly, then remembered the new feature added that morning. Everything clicked.
Come to think of it, in zombie apocalypse stories, it'd be weirder if raider groups threatening other survivors didn't appear.
One such group must've come for the Haedong Faction.
