Chapter Title: Room You Can't Leave Without Sex, and Aphrodisiac Gas (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
They'd finally shown up.
Worth absorbing.
The black-haired warrior at the front.
And the silver-haired mage entering alongside him.
The man didn't seem to know about this place.
The woman must have heard about the dungeon and brought him here.
And that made sense.
Because he was exhibiting the exact behavioral patterns of adventurers who wandered in without any intel.
Overly wary of the dungeon interior, as if the woman hadn't told him anything.
Scrutinizing every nook and cranny for traps.
Constantly asking the woman for dungeon info.
All classic signs of adventurers clueless about this place.
'The woman dragged him in here to make a move on him.'
An intriguing tale.
Sure, there were women like that.
Dragging in attractive men or crushes they fancied.
They all got their happy endings and left.
Mutual feelings between the woman and man.
Those happy endings were possible only because they weren't strong enough for me to bother absorbing.
But this pair was different.
"Yulia."
"Yes, Demon King."
"Prepare. It's time to move."
"Understood."
"Haa, haaang!!!"
I gripped the ass of the woman shaking her hips atop me on the throne.
She was the one from the previous party, the woman who'd been forcibly pinned by their man.
The one slumped despondently in the trap's center, as if she'd lost everything in the world.
She was an adventurer under the lingering effects of the aphrodisiac gas, enthralled by Amy.
Drawn to the throne room of her own accord, she stripped off her clothes as if forgetting all worldly troubles and climbed atop me.
A C-rank adventurer would meet the same fate as Andy, the first one I embraced.
Blissfully unaware of her impending doom, she reveled in pleasure and ecstasy atop me.
"Kkuuuuh!!!"
The female adventurer clenched her pussy around me like she was wringing me dry.
"Kh!"
I unleashed my semen straight into her.
"Aaaaaah......"
Rihann, feeling her final orgasm, gazed blankly into the void with an expression of endless rapture and bliss before vanishing.
Reduced to a handful of light, she was naturally absorbed into me.
Meager experience points, not even enough for a level up.
"Sister has gone to heaven."
Amy watched Rihann disappear with envy and jealousy on her face.
"May the Demon King's blessing grace her soul."
Amy closed her eyes, hands clasped in prayer.
"Amy."
"Yes, Demon King."
"Follow me. Watch my fight."
"I am honored."
I moved with Amy and Yulia in tow.
And at that moment.
The two adventurers stepped into the aphrodisiac trap room with the chest.
The one they mistakenly believed was a room you could only leave after sex.
"Here it is!"
Floa shouted, pointing at the chest.
"Here?"
"Yeah, Ariana said the reward's in this chest."
"Anyone can tell that's suspicious."
Jackal eyed the chest plopped conspicuously in the room's center.
Something was definitely up.
A trap.
His sharp instincts screamed it.
This room was rigged.
"Floa, is this really......"
Before he could finish.
Krrrrch!
The door they'd entered slammed shut.
"Floa!"
"Wh-what?"
Jackal stuck right by Floa's side.
Protecting the mage was priority one, no matter what.
There was a chance she'd set this trap herself, but he dismissed that possibility.
"Floa, is the info from Ariana legit?"
"Y-yeah. It is."
Unlike tense Jackal, who suspected the trap had sprung, Floa inwardly cheered.
'Yes! It really works.'
Jackal, her adventuring partner of five years.
Floa harbored feelings for him.
His beastly looks, the broad back always shielding her, the iron will that no monster would touch her.
And that past of his that stirred her maternal instincts, making her want to protect him.
It'd be a lie to say she hadn't felt rational desire for him all this time.
Sometimes at night, she'd wanted to seduce him, but she always got drunk first during their drinks.
And he'd brush off any attempts with stoic silence, like a bear.
'That's part of his charm, though.'
Now she wanted something more.
She was tired of their stagnant relationship.
Today was the day she'd end it, she resolved—and that's how they got here.
'A dungeon where you can't leave without sex?'
'Yeah. Go with someone you like, and it's 100% effective.'
When Ariana spilled that rumor, she bolted here without a second thought.
Ariana's vibe had shifted oddly, but she ignored it.
Something more important was at stake.
Even as the trap activated, Floa couldn't contain her pounding heart.
How would it go?
What face should she make if it happened?
She'd have to set the mood, right?
Jackal wouldn't be good at that.
She had no experience either—should she have asked the others?
Unbeknownst to her, the aphrodisiac gas slowly invaded Floa's body.
Unlike Floa, the B-rank mage too oblivious to detect it.
'Aphrodisiac gas?'
Jackal noticed it seeping from the chest and walls, closing in on them.
"Floa, cover your nose and mouth with your sleeve right now and hold your breath......"
"Haa, haa."
Jackal warned Floa behind him, but it was too late.
Having opened the chest, she'd inhaled a hefty dose.
She didn't seem to notice.
Her face flushed, breaths ragged, body beyond her control.
"Floa?"
"Ja-Jackal......"
Jackal faced Floa, who fidgeted while staring at him, and realized this wasn't her doing.
"Just hold on a bit. I'll find a way out first......"
As Jackal covered his mouth with his sleeve to calm her.
"Mmff!!"
Floa wrapped her arms around Jackal's neck and pressed her lips to his.
Her tongue forced his mouth open and slipped inside.
The woman's lips were soft and hot.
It was the first kiss for both Jackal and Floa.
And their inaugural smooch tasted of aphrodisiac gas.
If pressed to describe it.
Sweet, warm, and dizzying.
"Puha, Floa?"
"Haa, haa. Jackal, I can't hold back right now."
He felt Floa's breath on the back of his neck as she clung there.
"What about you? Don't you want to take it further here?"
With that, Floa began stripping off her top.
Behavior unimaginable for her usual self.
The aphrodisiac gas was to blame.
She couldn't think straight, steeped in it.
Right now—
"Floa, you're like this because you inhaled the aphrodisiac gas. You can't make rational judgments......"
"No. I've always wanted this."
Pinkish glow lit up Floa's eyes as she gazed at him.
A sign she was fully steeped in the gas.
"Urk."
Jackal felt dizzy too.
Even an A-rank adventurer couldn't stay 100% unaffected after direct exposure.
If this were the village, he might've gone with the flow.
But this was a dungeon.
A perilous place demanding clear-headedness at all costs.
"See, it's getting so hard already......"
The problem was Floa charging ahead like a runaway cart.
"Floa."
"I like you. I like you. Jackal. Am I the only one who feels this way about you?"
Now fully aroused, Floa began babbling incoherently.
"Calm down and listen to me......"
Then, Jackal's instincts picked up a new presence.
A sinister aura that instinctively furrowed his brow.
'Monster.'
A monster lurked outside this trap right now.
Only then could he inspect the sealed wall and door.
'Weak.'
A door he could easily breach.
"Floa, we're escaping now."
"What? What are you talking about? We can't leave. That's what I heard."
Jackal draped his robe over Floa's shoulders.
"There's a way out."
Shing.
He could cut it.
Not that sturdy.
Jackal gripped his sword and slashed vertically from top to bottom.
Slash!
Then horizontally.
Slash!
The door split where his sword passed.
Thud!
The door, cleaved into four pieces, toppled backward.
"Huh?"
Floa stared blankly at the shattered door.
Her gas-addled mind couldn't process it at once.
"Floa, let's go. It's dangerous here."
"Eh? Jackal, how'd you...? It shouldn't open. I heard it doesn't......"
"No choice then. I'll carry you out. Got no complaints?"
Floa blinked.
"Sorry, but you won't be leaving."
"It's here. Damn monster."
Jackal eyed the demon before him.
A navy-skinned devil with horns.
The demon, clad in a black uniform matching its skin, led two female demons.
'The one with wings on her waist looks like a succubus......'
What about the other?
A type of demon he'd never seen.
She wore revealing clothes exposing her waist, navel, and thighs. Black attire faintly resembling a high priestess's robes.
And on her cleric's headdress.
A symbol that would incense any church member as blasphemous.
The shattered emblem of the church.
A demon's mark.
'That woman's tied to demons too.'
Human or not, she was someone to watch.
"Floa, battle ready."
"R-right."
Floa, afflicted by the gas, snapped to attention momentarily.
'Floa's not in fighting shape right now.'
He'd have to handle this solo.
"Hoo."
Jackal closed his eyes, steadying his mind.
Mana surged through his body, purging the lingering aphrodisiac gas.
"I'll kill you and head back to the village."
Jackal declared to the demon before him.
It wouldn't be easy.
But he could win.
He always had.
"Impressive."
Expelling aphrodisiac gas with mana.
Quite the expert.
Were all A-rank adventurers this skilled?
He arrived sooner than expected.
But a mountain to climb eventually.
Good chance to gauge A-rank level.
"Yulia, Amy. Just watch."
"Yes, Demon King."
I drew the Demonic Sword Arubis.
