Chapter 68: Nymph
Chapter 68: Nymph
Left all alone in the room after Sheryl’s departure, Jaejin entrusted the damp bedsheets to Mari. After washing up, he lay on the sofa, feeling lethargic.
The remnants of pleasure Sheryl had left behind like a passing storm hadn't faded, forcing Jaejin to groan from an unquenchable sexual desire.
"At this rate... I won't even be able to take a nap."
Even though he wanted to sleep, his lower body was so restless that he couldn't stay still. He felt a flicker of resentment toward Sheryl for leaving after stoking his lust so intensely without properly relieving it.
If he could have resolved it through masturbation, he wouldn't be worrying, but at some point, Jaejin’s body had become incapable of reaching ejaculation on its own.
Even if he did manage to finish, the amount was meager and the consistency thin, providing no satisfaction whatsoever. It seemed his body had adapted to the intense, repetitive stimulation from the women he had encountered, to the point where nothing less than external stimulation could satisfy him.
"Maybe I should go for a workout. It’s been a while."
Before going to the Demon God Cult, he had gone out to train every day to forge a body suitable for Demonization. When that progress reached a steady track and his Demonization proceeded smoothly, he had felt a significant sense of accomplishment.
Since he had shown sufficient progress, and Lena had essentially "completed" his body by imprinting the Lust Crest, he hadn't felt the need for additional exercise and had stopped. It had been about three weeks since then.
In the first place, it was extremely rare for him to be left alone with free time like this. At the Demon God Cult, he had spent all day in relations with the nuns, and at night, he was injected with knowledge regarding the Council.
Since he had no other options, it was better to move his body and soothe his unspent physical energy.
As winter was fast approaching, he changed into thicker athletic wear than before and headed out to the training ground near the ancient castle. Cold air rushed into his sleeves.
Still, since he was already out, he figured it would be better to run along the forest path facing the main castle for a bit of a stroll rather than just circling the track. Jaejin corrected his posture and ran out onto the dirt path lined with oak trees and thickets.
He soon came to regret that decision. For the first ten minutes, he enjoyed the refreshing sensation of moving his body productively for the first time in a while, even considering starting his workouts again.
However, a light drizzle began to fall, drop by drop, quickly escalating into a downpour so heavy that it became difficult to move around outside.
"Is it a sunshower...? I should wait it out for a bit..."
Given how suddenly it started in early winter, it was likely a passing shower. He chose to wait under a large oak tree for the rain to stop rather than pushing through the downpour to get back.
If worst comes to worst, Lena will save me.
As long as he wore the choker, Lena remained his ever-present insurance policy, so Jaejin waited by the tree roots with a relaxed mind.
However, quite a bit of time passed, and there was no sign of the rain letting up. Instead, the dirt ground turned into a muddy mess; at this rate, he would be soaked to the bone by the time he returned.
It seemed difficult to maintain his body temperature if he waited any longer, as the rain had made the air even colder. The wind chill had surely dropped below freezing by now.
Reluctantly, he brushed off the dirt and prepared to run when he felt a presence behind him.
"Are you trying to go back now?"
Startled by the sudden voice, he turned his head to see Nia, the representative of the Fairy Tribe he had met at the Council, emerging from the tree.
"Whoa, you scared me. H-how did you do that?"
"Hmm? I’m a Dryad, after all. I can use trees I’ve communed with as portals."
Calming his racing heart, Jaejin looked at Nia and noticed she wasn't wet at all despite the heavy rain.
Indeed, as a tree nymph, it made sense that she could move in such a way and easily find Jaejin alone in the forest.
"So, are you going to stay here?"
"I suppose I should head back. I can't stay here forever..."
"True. With that fragile human body, you’ll get very cold if you stay here. I’ll take you back."
He wondered where the emphasis was placed in her comment about his "fragile" body, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything rude in response to her kindness.
Jaejin took Nia’s hand—which felt as though she were wearing green gloves—and she placed her other hand on the tree, looking back at him.
"Hold on tight. There might be an accident otherwise."
"Huh? Oh, r-right. Okay."
Assuming she intended to return the same way she came, Jaejin gripped her hand firmly to prevent the absurd disaster of getting stuck inside a tree.
Soon, he squeezed his eyes shut and followed Nia as she passed through the wood. He braced for an impact, but he passed through without any resistance and popped out on the other side where she had aimed.
It was a room made of plants. One wall consisted of tree trunks, while the others were covered in leaves the size of a grown man. A few pieces of solid wood furniture and a bed covered in leaves were placed inside.
It was the first time he had been in a room so thick with the scent of phytoncides since Sinclair’s house. Thanks to being indoors, his chilled body warmed up, and he felt a profound sense of comfort.
"Thanks. If it weren't for you, I would've been soaked."
"Don't mention it. It saves me the trouble of having to go look for you, so I’m relieved. I find moving around quite bothersome, you see."
Nia spoke in a slow, languid voice. She stood before the bed at the far end of the room. It was only after she stood under the dim light that Jaejin realized their current state.
He hadn't noticed the discrepancy because of the warmth, but Jaejin was currently stark naked. It seemed that traveling through her ability had stripped away everything except for the choker made of magical power.
The same applied to Nia. She was no longer wearing the robe that had covered her entire body during the Council.
Because of that, the voluptuous lines of her body were clearly visible, though he hadn't had the composure to notice until now.
Nia’s body possessed a fullness that felt slightly plump. If there were a symbol for abundance and fertility, her flesh-heavy physique would be it.
She was nearly nude; her breasts were covered by a bra made of small leaves, and her genitals were hidden by a tiny piece of cloth hanging from a string wrapped around her hips.
Seeing as there were no other clothes in sight, she must have attended the Council meetings until now wearing only this under her robe.
"Do you like it that much? My body."
"Yes, very much."
"That’s a relief. There was once a boy who saw my body and ran away as fast as he could."
There was no way he wouldn't like such a provocative and lewd body, with vines wrapped around her to accentuate her flesh.
If someone had run away after seeing her, they probably felt a sense of danger from encountering such an impossibly beautiful woman in the middle of the forest.
"Then let’s do it right now. I’m too lazy to wait until tomorrow. It looks like you want it, too."
"Wh-what...!?"
Before he knew it, his cock was erect and pointing toward her. A cock that hadn't undergone Demonization. As if she knew the circumstances, she looked at Jaejin’s penis with interest.
"What a cute cock. It looks like a tiny little acorn."
"Ugh..."
Tap, tap. Nia poked his cock with her finger. As if finding it amusing, she flicked it several times.
She liked how the tiny cock twitched with every touch, swaying like a small acorn hanging from a leaf fluttering in the wind.
"This... might not be so bad. ♡"
From the moment the wise Gold Dragon raised her hand at the end of the Demon Lord Council, Nia’s opinion had ceased to matter.
Even if she didn't support Jaejin as a Demon Lord candidate, there was already a majority. Since things had turned out that way, her original goal of monitoring and stopping Veled had become unnecessary.
The reason she had raised her hand anyway was that there was no need to offend the one elected as Demon Lord, nor any reason not to follow the Gold Dragon’s lead—and also to spite the sickeningly lovey-dovey Fairy King and Queen.
Normally, she would have skipped the Council to relax in nature or stayed holed up in her home to prey on lost travelers.
However, the sounds of the overly affectionate Fairy King and Queen having sex were carried to her every night by the winds the fairies brought, making it difficult for her to stay in the kingdom.
Furthermore, there was the command—and request—from the Fairy King. A royal decree stating, 'I want to spend more time on my nightly activities without interruption, so please remove the risk factors.'
It was an insane thing to say to someone heading out as a Demon Lord candidate, but in the Fairy Kingdom, the King’s word was absolute.
That sly old man. He must have calculated that Nia wouldn't become the Demon Lord.
Since things had turned out this way, it was better to cooperate with the radicals, Lena and Jaejin, and then wash her hands of it so she wouldn't have to see those disgusting faces anymore.
If the two succeeded, the sex-crazed couple would be ousted, which was good. Even if they failed, she would have gained enough power to freely establish her own domain.
That’s what she had thought, but playing with this acorn cock was starting to change her mind. Her life had been dull.
Due to the nature of being a Dryad, she had lived in one place for a long time and craved entertainment. Something very stimulating that would last a long time. Something that wouldn't bother her too much.
"I'm going to... I'm going to cum, so stop... ♡"
Just by tapping the glans covered by the foreskin with her finger, the future Demon Lord was already losing himself in pleasure.
"How pathetic. At this rate, it won't be an acorn, but the scent of semen that fills the air. ♡"
Nia stopped tapping his cock and instead pinched the glans between her thumb and forefinger, rubbing it gently. The man who had charmed even the powerful purple-skinned demon indeed possessed a corresponding allure.
He, who had fallen so easily just from having his cock fondled and now wore the expression of a bitch, seemed like he could at least help her escape her previous tedious life.
"Wa... wait, put me down...!"
Vines wrapped around Jaejin’s body. The tough, sturdy vines bound his arms, legs, and torso, lifting him up with ease.
Seeing Jaejin flailing because his feet couldn't reach the ground, she let out a small smirk. The sight of her prey captured so appetizingly was very satisfying to her eyes.
Nia instantly swallowed Jaejin’s cock, which was trembling from pleasure, as it rose to her eye level.
With the mucous membranes clinging to the glans in a way that couldn't be compared to her fingers, the cock, which was already at its limit, instantly vomited out semen.
Splurt! The ejaculation lasted a long time, following the thin, drawn-out pleasure. Nia, who caught all the thick, jelly-like semen in her mouth, gave a lewd smile.
"Welcome to the Dryad’s forest. ♡"
