Chapter 108: Beastkin Mage Yuliana (5)
"…Oppa. Be careful."
One relief was that Elina, now that she was serious, was similar to Yuliana.
A large tail sprouted from Elina’s lower back.
It was a form I hadn't seen once since our first meeting.
The tail, its tip sharp like a trident, stretched straight forward.
"She's inside."
"Do you feel any mana underfoot?"
"No. None at all. But…"
Elina pressed her lips thin before speaking again.
"It looks like there was a huge fight inside. The mana traces are incredibly thick."
"…Let’s go in."
I passed through the garden with Elina and headed for the main entrance.
"Hi, Oppa. It’s been a while, hasn't it?"
The moment we spotted Yuliana sitting on the stairs, Elina’s entire body was shrouded in pitch-black demonic energy.
"Sihyeon Oppa. The girls… they’re still alive, right…? I’m not sensing it wrong, am I?"
"……."
I simply nodded without a word.
In Seri’s case, she had merely fainted on the floor, but Bell, who was frozen standing up, had several icicle-like shards of ice embedded in her abdomen.
I remembered that spell.
It was the magic that detonated icicles to tear apart demons several times larger than the caster while they were still alive.
Fortunately, perhaps thanks to the armor I had gifted her, the bleeding had stopped and the wounds were completely healed.
Of course, that wasn't enough to suppress the sudden surge of rage within me.
If I were to kill Yuliana right now, the ice embedded in Bell’s body would explode instantly.
I had to think as rationally as possible.
However.
"How dare you do this…!"
Elina seemed to have no intention of being rational.
Aiming her tail, which was coiled with demonic energy, directly at Yuliana, she took her first step.
Then, Elina’s body completely vanished from sight.
A moment later, a series of loud crashing sounds erupted from the stairs.
Even without turning my head, I could tell that a pissed-off Elina was relentlessly attacking Yuliana’s barrier.
Letting out a small sigh, I drew out my demonic energy and wrapped it around Bell’s entire body.
After suppressing the magic that was paralyzing her, I gently pulled her into an embrace and laid her down comfortably on the floor.
Her eyes were open, but she was only breathing faintly, perhaps having lost consciousness from the shock immediately following the attack.
I gently closed her eyes for her.
"Master. I’ll save you no matter what, so just rest without any worries."
I slowly stood up and headed toward the stairs.
There was no need to rush.
Going there early would only increase the chances of me killing Yuliana with my own hands anyway.
And I didn't think Elina, who had driven her tail into Yuliana’s barrier to pierce it, would be easily defeated.
"Do you think that pathetic magic will work on me?!"
"…As expected of a Goddess, you really are different."
Ice identical to what had been used on Bell was flying toward Elina, but it couldn't penetrate the demonic energy surrounding the Goddess's body.
While neither side could land a decisive blow, Elina had a slight advantage.
With the sound of the barrier cracking, Elina’s tail was gradually digging its way inside.
"I will never forgive you. The Goddess will personally send you to hell. Get ready to beg the girls for forgiveness for the rest of your life once you're there. Got it?!"
"Hmm. I wouldn't really recommend that. It seems the Goddess doesn't want to save Bell, does she?"
"Who do you think you are, acting all close to my sister, you bitch?!"
I should probably stop them here.
I’d love nothing more than to throw her into hell just as Elina said.
But since she was holding my person hostage, that wish would have to wait until after I saved Bell.
It was important to first find out what that cunning fox was up to by approaching me like this.
"Elina. That’s enough."
I grabbed Elina’s arm and pulled her toward me.
"What do you mean 'enough'! Didn't you see what this wicked fox bitch did to the girls?!"
"I saw it too, so stop. If you kill her now, your sister dies too."
Elina’s body flinched violently for a moment.
"Huh…? W-What does that mean…? Why would… Bell… die…?"
"I’ll explain later."
I pulled Elina behind me and let go of her arm.
Then, stepping forward, I nonchalantly reached my hand toward Yuliana’s neck.
Before long, I began to feel a powerful mana across my entire palm as it touched the blue-tinted barrier.
Since it was mana I had experienced every single day back when we traveled together, it felt quite familiar.
As I stood still with my hand on the barrier, Yuliana, who was watching, gave a small twitch of her lips.
"Are you finally here to say hello?"
"…Yeah. It’s been a while, Yuliana."
"Mhm~ I was worried you might keep ignoring me. If you had, Bell’s body might have exploded just like you said, Oppa."
"……Why did you come? Someone like you wouldn't have needed to come in person."
"I just wanted to have a little chat with you, Oppa?"
"The method seems a bit too violent for just a chat, don't you think?"
"Yeah. I agree. But I had no choice. It seemed like you found out all the secrets we've been keeping, Oppa. If my hunch was right, you wouldn't even want to look at my face, and even if I asked for a sincere conversation, you would have completely ignored me. I had to do something this drastic just to get you to look me in the eye and have a serious talk, right?"
Yuliana’s lips curled slightly.
"Since you and that Goddess seem so angry right now, I’ll give you one warning, Sihyeon Oppa. The magic embedded in Bell’s body will disappear in ten days. Her consciousness will safely return then too, so there's no need to worry."
"…I assume it’s a spell that only you can release."
"Yes, of course. If I were to die by your hands, there would be no point in all the trouble I went through to get here. So, you have to keep me alive and well until then, and you have to keep me company in conversation every day. That’s my only condition."
"And if I refuse to talk?"
"Hmm? Oppa. Can you really do that? Honestly, you have a lot of things you want to ask me too, don't you?"
She smiled brightly, her eyes curving into crescents.
"Even though you could suppress me at any time with your skills, are you going to hold back until the end?"
I smirked as I looked at her.
"You know me well."
I applied force to the palm I had against the barrier and shoved it inward.
Immediately after, the sound of the barrier cracking loudly filled the air before it shattered completely.
I instantly lunged and grabbed her by the throat, hoisting her high into the air.
"G-Guhhh…!"
"Yuliana, I think I’ve been too soft on you all this time, haven't I?"
As her feet were lifted quite high, Yuliana’s legs kicked back and forth rapidly.
"It’s pissing me off enough that you turned my house into a mess, but you dared to touch my person?"
"I-I see…. B-Both of them… ugh… ah… they really… have become… your people, Oppa…. I’m… jealous…. Hehe…."
"Nothing to be jealous of."
Grip.
"Ke-Kek…!"
"Because I’m going to torment you for the next ten days, just as you wished."
"O-O-Oppa…! You c-can't kill her…!"
A startled Elina rushed over and clung to my arm.
I glanced back at Elina and then threw Yuliana onto the floor.
"Agh…!"
Yuliana, sprawled miserably on the floor, looked up at me and smirked.
"I knew it… since you’re holding your person hostage, you’ve decided to torment me to the end instead of killing me…? Haa… what a relief."
"Did you think I wouldn't be able to do it?"
"Of course. Because you’re a kind person, Oppa. I thought you’d never be able to do that kind of torture and would just kill me instead. That’s why I did such a terrible thing to Bell. I figured you could never give up on her, Oppa."
"Right. You’re a cunning bitch, so you must have anticipated this much. Well, I don't know what you're plotting, but even you couldn't have predicted I’d act like this."
"Huh? What do you—"
[Target: Mage Yuliana, Goddess Elina]
[Target's time will be frozen for 30 seconds.]
"What do you me—huh?"
Yuliana blinked several times.
In the span of a single blink, her dress and the stockings covering her breasts had been shredded to pieces.
Since this was the first time her breasts were fully exposed, her face turned slightly red.
But more than that, it felt even more surreal that he hadn't used such an incredible ability to simply suppress her.
Of course.
"Wow. Oppa. You even know how to stop time—"
"It seems you’re finally grasping the situation."
That thought vanished the moment she saw the massive cock looming before her eyes.
Yuliana gulped, trying to suppress her nervousness.
However, faced with a cock she was seeing for the first time in her life, it was beyond her power to stop her face from rapidly flushing.
'Is that Sihyeon Oppa’s c-cock…?'
Gulp.
'He used something like that to violate Seri and Bell… and turned them into lewd women…?'
Yuliana couldn't take her eyes off Sihyeon’s cock for even a second.
It was a natural consequence.
No matter how talented a mage Yuliana was, her birth was that of a mere fox beastkin.
'…I shouldn't be doing this. Sihyeon Oppa’s cock… I think it’s going to stay in my head all day.'
Because a fox beastkin's greatest weakness was a male's massive cock.
Yuliana could only stare blankly, admiring Sihyeon’s cock, as she felt the thoughts of it growing larger and larger in her mind.
