I May Fall, But My Sword Will Not (8)
The excited Crane shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Five times? Premature ejaculation much?"
"Premature? It just means your torture game was that fucking good. And if my guess about the woman in your hand is right, she's no ordinary bitch."
Kang Geon raised his arm. In his massive hand dangled the unconscious head of Starrostar. Even though her naked body was completely covered in semen, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.
"If she's not ordinary, does that make her some kingdom's princess or something?"
"Not a princess, but close enough in status."
"Who the hell is she?"
"Show me her sword."
Kang Geon tossed Andra, which he held in his left hand. Crane caught it, inspected it from hilt to tip, ran his fingers along the blade, and nodded.
A sword of dignity and overwhelming power. Few blades like this exist in the world.
If my guess is correct, this is Andra.
The holy sword of the Knight Templar Grand Master.
"This bitch is the Knight Templar Grand Master?"
"No. She's too young. The woman you defeated must be her daughter. If she's the Grand Master's daughter and possesses power on par with a Grand Master, she'd be treated better than most kingdom princesses."
"Then why the fuck was a woman like that fighting in the arena?"
"Her target was probably you. She must have wanted to kill you to preserve the order the Knight Templars pursue."
"Just like Isabel. These worthless cunts keep coming at me."
Kang Geon squeezed Starrostar's breast hard and shook it.
"Worthless to you, maybe. Even if you had ten Lows and ten Turks, they couldn't take her down."
"What about you?"
"Without Andra, I might have a chance. But with it? I'd lose for sure."
"She was more impressive than I thought."
Kang Geon tossed Starrostar to Crane. The man caught her with a wide grin and immediately began groping her tits and pussy.
"Give me the sword."
Crane threw it back. Kang Geon grabbed Andra by the hilt and the tip, then applied force. His Avatar Body's strength was immense, yet the sword refused to break. It only bent. To snap it in two, he'd need to use his Authority.
Brrrrrrrr.
The bent Andra trembled and cried out. Through the Authority of Domination, Kang Geon could sense exactly what the sword's ego wanted.
It was begging to be spared.
A pathetic, desperate struggle.
"Pfft. This thing is begging for its life? Is this really a holy sword?"
"What could possibly stand fearless before your power?"
"I thought it would never bend, even in death, because it belonged to that bitch. How disappointing."
Andra suddenly radiated power. It wasn't an attack. It was desperately trying to prove how useful it could be.
In truth, Andra had only been called a holy sword because its previous owners were all members of the Knight Templars. Had an evil person wielded it, it would have become infamous as a demonic blade instead.
Starrostar's holy relic and pillar of conviction had simply never encountered a greater power before, so it had never submitted.
Kang Geon activated the Authority of Domination. He understood how Andra granted its power, and what conditions it required. He also discovered that he could rewrite those conditions with his Authority.
"Getting stronger the stronger someone's conviction is? Boring as fuck. From now on, you'll get stronger the more you worship cock. You're not a holy sword anymore. You're a sex sword. Got it?"
The Authority of Domination rewrote the conditions. In that instant, the core of the world-renowned holy sword transformed into something entirely different.
Kang Geon added one more condition: if it wasn't worshipped, it would drain the wielder's power.
Immediately, Andra began weakening its owner, Starrostar. The woman who despised cock grew even frailer than an ordinary woman.
Still unconscious, Starrostar had no idea that her holy relic had become Kang Geon's plaything and her own shackles in one horrifying twist.
"Now, what should I do to have some fun?"
Kang Geon tapped Andra lightly while staring down at Starrostar.
"Mmm..."
Starrostar slowly opened her eyes.
"Where... am I?"
It was a filthy, stinking alley. Dilapidated shacks lined the narrow path.
"The slums? Why am I here...?"
Starrostar tried to stand. Unlike usual, her body felt terribly weak. She had to lean against the wall just to get up.
"Why does my body feel like this...? I can't even use my skills..."
She couldn't even imagine that this was Andra's doing.
"What did they do to my body?"
It made no sense. To seal an S-class skill, especially one with the highest attribute like Star Power, you'd need a facility the size of a building. Unless it was an artifact on the level of Andra, suppressing an S-class skill with something portable was impossible.
"There's nothing on my body..."
A cold wind swept over her. With nothing covering her skin, the breeze stole away her body heat.
It was possible they'd implanted a sealing item inside her, but only high elves or dragons that had lived over a thousand years could craft such things.
"It must be because my conviction was lacking."
Starrostar covered only her nipples and pussy with her hands and began walking, searching for something to wear.
A small head with short, dirty black hair peeked out from around the corner. The boy's eyes were full of suspicion. When their eyes met, his face turned bright red. He quickly hid, then peeked out again.
"Hey, kid. Can you give me something to wear? As you can see, I'm in a bit of a situation."
"What will you give me in return, miss?"
"Hmm... I can give you a kiss, at least."
"Follow me."
The boy darted out like a rodent, grabbed Starrostar's hand, and started running.
"Where are we going?"
"Where else would clothes be? At my house, obviously."
Even while running, the boy kept groping her smooth skin, savoring its softness. Starrostar was already out of breath after running only twenty meters. Compared to when she could run twenty kilometers without breaking a sweat, she had become pathetically weak.
This is bad...
Starrostar's heart sank. This was the slums. Security was nonexistent, and the place was ruled by those without mercy. If a powerless woman ended up here?
She'd need miraculous luck to escape. Most ended up raped, then forced into prostitution while their bodies were drained for profit.
She couldn't afford to look weak.
Starrostar tried her best to hide her ragged breathing.
"It's here."
"It's actually not that bad."
"Don't lie. I know exactly how filthy this place is."
Trash and clumps of old food littered the floor. Black mold proudly covered the walls.
"I've been in sewers worse than this. What's your name?"
"Louis."
"Alright, Louis. Can you give me some clothes first?"
"Just wear any of the rags on the floor."
"Thank you."
Starrostar shook off Louis's hand and picked out the largest piece of clothing that wasn't completely indistinguishable from garbage. Louis stared intently at her back. The perfect curve from her narrow waist to her plump ass was an unbearable stimulus for a boy in puberty.
"Miss."
"Yes?"
"Kyaa!"
When Louis shoved her, Starrostar fell helplessly to the ground.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
"You're really weak."
Lust filled Louis's eyes, and a hunter's satisfied smile spread across his lips.
"Taking down someone like you only takes a second."
"Try it."
Starrostar got up and grabbed Louis's arm, twisting it. The position should have given her absolute advantage, but Louis easily broke free and punched her in the stomach.
"Ugh!"
Starrostar staggered backward. Her abdomen, trained countless times, couldn't even let her breathe properly after a single punch from a pubescent boy.
"I've been surviving in this neighborhood for over five years. You think I haven't seen people like you putting on a tough act?"
"What do you want?"
"A woman with nothing but her body can only offer one thing. Suck it."
Louis pulled down his pants. A foul mix of fishy and piss-like stench filled the air. Having visited all kinds of filthy places as part of her training, Starrostar didn't vomit.
"Don't want to?"
"......"
"Then do you want to get beaten? Or should I tickle-torture you? Ever experienced that? A woman from the Kingsley family who ran off with their money died in one day from tickle torture."
Starrostar decided to obey for now. Her body was already defiled. A little more filth wouldn't break her conviction.
Or perhaps submitting so easily was what would truly break it.
I don't know anymore...
For the first time, Starrostar had become a powerless weakling with no protection, and she couldn't think straight. There were also aftereffects from the Authority of Domination.
"I'll do it."
Starrostar grabbed Louis's cock. The foreskin-covered glans looked filthy at first glance. She didn't want to put it in her mouth, but she convinced herself it was better to maintain her current state and took the boy's dirty cock into her mouth.
"Miss, what are you doing? Is this your first time sucking cock?"
When Starrostar only awkwardly mouthed it, Louis slapped her.
Smack!
"Ah, seriously. Do it properly! I said suck it! Pull back the foreskin and clean it too."
Louis pulled back his foreskin and shoved the cock toward her again. It was covered in thick smegma. When Starrostar simply stared at the disgusting piece of flesh, Louis pulled out a dagger. The handle was wrapped in tattered cloth, but the blade was sharp enough to kill a man.
"Suck it before I cut off your fingers."
This was the second time Starrostar felt overwhelming terror. The first had been during her fight with Kang Geon. Unable to resist the fear, she parted her beautiful lips and took the filthy thing that didn't seem human into her mouth and began sucking.
"Ugh."
"Use your tongue to lick everything behind the glans clean."
Louis grabbed the back of her head and started thrusting his hips. The thrill of having subdued a beauty that even the Kingsley family, which ruled the slums, didn't possess, filled him with joy.
Starrostar refused to acknowledge her own terror and rationalized that she was doing this to survive intact and reclaim Andra.
"Ah, that feels good."
After having weeks of built-up grime cleaned by a pretty vacuum, Louis pulled his cock out.
"Now lie down."
"What? What are you talking about? You said you'd give me clothes if I cleaned it."
"Miss. You think clothes are all you need? What about food? Water? A place to sleep?"
"......"
"Do you know what happens if you leave here and get caught by the Kingsley family? They force women to take drugs first. Once you're addicted, you have no choice but to cling to the Kingsleys for more. And then what?"
Starrostar flinched.
"You'll get fucked in your mouth, pussy, and asshole until they're ruined, then you'll be sold off as a whore. Is that what you want?"
Louis twirled the dagger in his hand. Starrostar lay on her back and spread her legs. Louis's cock pushed into her pussy.
