Since You Passed the Trial, Become a Test Subject
To start with the conclusion: there was no fight.
"I lost. I surrender."
I had expected things to play out like the original story. I thought she would throw a tantrum, stubbornly insisting she couldn't accept such an ending. But when Akelon conceded immediately, Kang-rim was quite bewildered.
If she was this good at reading the room, why was she so stubborn in the original story? It was a great outcome for him since he didn't have to shed a single drop of blood, but Kang-rim had no intention of taking Akelon's words at face value.
"Do you think I'll just accept your surrender?"
She might be pretending to surrender while waiting to stab me in the back. Even Sua, who was almost entirely submissive now, had tried to take his life twice. Why would a turtle be any different?
"Then give it to me right here, right now."
So, he made a demand.
"Just like Sua, offer your tribe's treasure to me."
Just as Sua had offered the Yoryeok-seok—the treasure directly tied to the survival of the Gumiho tribe—to him, he wanted proof of loyalty. He needed at least that much to even consider trusting her. That was Kang-rim's demand.
To that request, Akelon replied,
"Very well, here it is."
She handed Kang-rim a wooden box filled with sand.
It was the Ancient Relic she had used to block Kang-rim when he was struggling to cross the swamp.
"Will you accept my surrender if I give you this?"
"You're really giving it to me?"
Kang-rim was dumbfounded that she would hand over the relic. He never imagined she would give it up so easily.
'To think she'd give this cheat item to me.'
The Ancient Relic was a treasure managed for generations by the leaders of the Turtle tribe. Using the sand in the box, one could create any model, but it didn't stop at merely making models.
If the user wished for the model to manifest, it would turn that model into reality.
It could make it actually rain on a field scorched by the sun,
It could turn a barren wasteland into a lush forest,
And it could even turn land into a place covered in ice all year round.
The scale of the manifestation depended on the user's magical energy. If someone with magical power rivaling a god used this relic, the world itself would undergo a cataclysm.
As a relic with such immense effects, the danger was naturally high. It was obvious what kind of disaster would unfold if someone with malicious intent used it.
That was why the past leaders of the Turtle tribe had tried to prevent the relic from being abused. Exceptionally, Akelon's predecessor had used it for his own desires, not only oppressing his kin but also trying to wield absolute power by causing chaos outside the island.
However, he was stopped by Akelon before that could happen, and after losing his position as leader to her, he was assassinated by the killers Akelon had sent.
To think she would hand over such a precious relic without hesitation. Kang-rim was bewildered.
'Come to think of it, that bastard Grid used this well, too.'
In the original game, Conquer, Dominate, Become the Real Boss, Grid had seized the Ancient Relic when he invaded Turtle Island. After modifying the relic to suit his needs, Grid raised the weapons he wanted. He could effortlessly build fortresses at numerous bases. He always used this relic when driving the women who defied him into despair. If Seol-hwa hadn't destroyed the relic, the game would have ended in a total victory for evil.
It was such a dangerous object that it made him think of that bad ending automatically. Therefore, it was only right that it shouldn't fall into evil hands, but—
Unfortunately, Kang-rim had no choice but to abuse this relic to avoid the terrible end that awaited him in the future.
So, he couldn't refuse Akelon's gesture.
"Fine, I'll trust you."
Kang-rim set Tega, whom he had been holding, down on the floor and readily accepted the wooden box.
'Now, shall I try using it?'
It was a relic called the ultimate cheat item.
Except for the fact that it couldn't create living organisms and couldn't be used for a while if it got wet, it could create anything. Provided there was enough magical energy. Since Grid had overflowed with magical energy, he could create anything.
Therefore, it was possible for Kang-rim to punish the cheeky turtle right here and now.
'Alright, let's go with this.'
Wishing for it to be so, Kang-rim used his left index finger to start writing on the sand in the box.
[Akelon goes mad with lust.]
"Hngh?"
As soon as the words were written, Akelon let out a moan.
Kang-rim continued to write.
[Her entire body goes mad with lust.]
"Hic?"
[She becomes a body that cannot endure unless her lust is satisfied.]
"Hngh-ahhh!"
Unable to endure, Akelon slumped to the ground. Like someone addicted to drugs, a flush appeared on Akelon's cheeks, and her black and blue hair became drenched in sweat.
Clear fluid flowed down between her trembling thighs.
[As she goes mad with lust, the clothes she is wearing disappear.]
As those words were written, the clothes Akelon was wearing vanished in the blink of an eye. Akelon's naked body, with clean skin except for the reptilian patches here and there, was laid bare.
[She falls into a state of mind where she is dying to eat my cock.]
"Hngh, hngh..."
Akelon's golden eyes, fixed on Kang-rim's crotch, were being dyed with madness. Her panting was also becoming increasingly ragged.
In the end, Akelon pleaded earnestly.
"P-please. No, I beg you."
Akelon buried her head in the ground and begged desperately.
"Please let this lowly sinner eat your cock, please."
"Whoa, this is amazing."
The Ancient Relic didn't just exert its effects by creating models.
It also activated when writing on the sand.
However, the downside was that one had to write several sentences, not just one, to see the proper effect.
Kang-rim had only written a few sentences, but even with just that, it was possible to break Akelon.
If he utilized this well, he could train women without needing experimental tools. Kang-rim realized for himself why it was called a cheat item.
He wanted to modify their bodies too, but—
'It's a real shame that I can't do that.'
Perhaps the developers thought they had made too much of a cheat item, so they added a setting that while it could have permanent effects on the body, it was impossible to alter external features.
In other words, he couldn't do things like make their breasts bigger.
Even so, the developers must not have been able to leave this relic, which ruined the flow of the story, alone. In the end, they created a development where it was destroyed by the protagonist Seol-hwa's hand, permanently removing the Ancient Relic from the story.
'It seems like they made it without any countermeasures...'
Well, it didn't matter.
Even if it was cursed as an object that created obvious story developments, it was a necessary item for Kang-rim. Because with an item like this, he could turn the women he captured as prisoners into submissive pet dogs in the future. And since there were many things he wanted to experiment with, if someone told him to get rid of it, Kang-rim would vehemently oppose it.
'Wait, then...'
As if something had occurred to him, Kang-rim turned his head toward Sua.
Sua broke into a cold sweat as he looked at her with a gaze full of malice.
"Why, why are you staring at me like that?"
"..."
Kang-rim didn't answer. With a vile smile, he began to write on the sand.
[Sua is...]
"W-wait! Don't..."
Realizing what he was about to do, Sua reached out in a hurry, but—
"Eek!"
Kang-rim was faster.
"I, I decided to submit... why, whyyyy!"
Thus, Sua also became the second test subject.
Two days had passed since Kang-rim broke through the trial by using a trick.
Everything proceeded smoothly.
'Th-thank you, Master. Thanks to you, I survived.'
Including Cardian, the 130 or so survivors who had been prisoners were rescued safely. They were so red and cooked that one might mistake them for boiled shrimp, wondering just how long they had been trapped in that hot water.
If Kang-rim's arrival had been delayed even a little, an irreversible event might have occurred. Even if Akelon explained that she never intended to eat them for dinner from the start, that she had no intention of killing them at all.
Kang-rim demanded that a space be provided where his party could get plenty of rest, and Akelon immediately had barracks built so there would be no inconvenience in their daily lives.
Besides this, Kang-rim demanded several things from Akelon.
The requirements were summarized as follows:
1. Provide a sailing ship to go to the island occupied by his subordinates.
2. If a ship was impossible, send a messenger bird to let them know he was here somehow.
3. Mobilize all the Turtle tribe members to salvage everything inside his sunken flagship.
4. If she knew the current state of the Beastman Union and Tie's whereabouts, tell him everything.
Numbers 1 and 2 were things that absolutely had to be done.
They had barely survived, but Artria and Iris probably didn't know Kang-rim was alive yet. It was unclear if they were searching, but he had to let them know he was alive.
The Turtle tribe was working hard on repairs for the sailing ship to deliver that news.
Just in case, he also sent a messenger bird. There was no answer yet, but since it was a letter written by the master himself, they wouldn't ignore it.
And number 3 was also something that absolutely had to be done.
Even though it was submerged in the sea and he didn't know if there would be any useful items, he had to salvage it first.
He had to pick out whatever was usable as much as possible. Also, the ancient relic that had been on the ship had to be recovered.
-The thing that looks like a large jewel is the relic. You must find it, understand?
It was a relic essential for infinitely generating his own semen.
If he didn't have that relic, his future plans would face setbacks. So, he had to recover it no matter what.
Kang-rim had ordered it, and following his order, the Turtle tribe was searching the interior of the sunken flagship thoroughly.
And in the case of number 4, the most important one,
"Haup, huup... the Union is just watching in a defensive stance."
Akelon said so while licking Kang-rim's massive cock with her tongue.
"It seems like there's a hole in their power due to the failure of the Rabbit Island invasion."
The place where Kang-rim and Akelon were currently was the bathtub. Kang-rim was lying in a bathtub filled with hot bathwater, and Akelon was carefully caressing the meat pillar rising above the water surface with her mouth.
Every time she sucked, sounds of breath filled with excitement flowed from Akelon's mouth.
"If Tie had returned, they would have switched to an offensive, but it seems Tie hasn't returned to the Union yet."
"What about Croker? That guy is still there, right?"
"If you're talking about the Crocodile tribe..."
Akelon dived. She came up above the water surface with her mouth full of water. Akelon, who had come up, poured the water she had held in her mouth onto Kang-rim's glans. The meat pillar, having received the warm water baptism, expanded even more than before. Kang-rim let out a moan at the thrill created by the expansion.
"Your, no, the Master's fleet is attacking Crocodile Island."
"Attacking Crocodile Island?"
"Yes, haup, huup... they said the fall isn't far off either."
Akelon sucked on the mushroom head of his cock. As she twisted her tongue and licked even the small opening of the glans, Kang-rim was swept up in a feeling that he was going to melt. His legs trembling on their own was a bonus.
"Since my warriors saw and heard it themselves, you can believe it."
"So, is that why they couldn't come to rescue me?"
Kang-rim had given orders to Iris.
That the top priority target was the Beastman Union. That she should pour all her strength into collapsing the Union. Even if he was in a crisis, if the battle was the most important thing, she should choose the latter. That if a truly critical situation occurred, he would give orders himself, so she shouldn't worry and should fulfill her assigned mission.
If she was faithfully implementing that, he had nothing to say.
However,
Why wasn't Artria moving?
'I thought she would at least send an escort ship...'
Sending just one ship wouldn't leave a hole in the defense of Fox Island, so why didn't she send a rescue party? Was it because she didn't know where the enemy might pop out from?
If it wasn't that...
Could it be related to Tie?
Kang-rim asked Akelon, who was sucking on his balls underwater.
"What about Tie? Any news about Fox Island?"
"There's nothing yet on that side."
Akelon, who had half her face out of the water, replied so.
"As I said a moment ago, there's no word that Tie has returned to the Union. I don't know where she went, either. Fox Island is far away, so it takes a while for news to reach us."
"Is that so..."
"Don't worry."
Akelon, who was accepting his cock with her mouth wide open, comforted Kang-rim.
"Haup, huup... the Master's star hasn't died yet. Tie's star is also being eroded little by little, so don't worry and wait. You will surely get everything in your hands."
"Thank you very much for your words."
"More than that, don't you want to cum soon?"
At those words, Kang-rim nodded. Other women didn't notice, so how did she know this? As he looked at her with a curious face, Akelon smiled.
"Even though I look like this, I was a wife who served her husband for hundreds of years. So I know very well when it comes out."
"I see."
"Well, now I've returned to the side of my ancestors, so the work of serving has disappeared."
Akelon muttered in a slightly lonely tone.
"I'll stop talking here... hngh?"
Before the words were even finished, Kang-rim grabbed Akelon's head. With the momentum to drive in a stake, Kang-rim pressed her head down as it was. The meat pillar pushed its way deep into her throat.
"Puhngh?"
The water splashed loudly,
"Kurk, kurrup, kurrrupp!"
At the ecstasy of vomiting his semen, Kang-rim's two legs trembled as if soaked in joy.
