Chapter 185: Saintess Hunt (1)
“Ah, not yet… There’s still… time… I’ve been practicing… so hard… I can… I can hold out… long enough…”
Seri’s arm, stained with blood, trembled violently as she reached out toward me.
Taking a step forward, she pulled her arm back and pressed it against my chest, raising the hand holding the dagger once more.
Then, the crimson tip was aimed straight at her own arm.
It was the same spot as before, but the pain this time would be incomparable.
“Seri… wants to live… as Master’s woman… for the rest of her life… Hehe… Heee… Just this once… Please… just this one last time…”
Despite her state, her large eyes curved into a faint, trembling smile.
“Could you… please… grant… my wish…? Hehe…”
“……It’s okay, Seri.”
I closed her eyes with one hand and gently wrapped my other arm around her back.
I had already pulled down the arm she intended to stab, so it seemed I could easily achieve what I intended.
“Ah, a-ah… no…”
I pulled her into a firm embrace, tucking her into my chest.
Squelch.
The chilling sensation of something piercing my lower abdomen was undeniably dangerous.
The dagger pulsed with an ominous energy, so suspicious that I doubted Seri had forged it with her strength alone.
It felt remarkably similar to the characteristics of the weapons Aris forged.
Like those weapons that completely incinerated anything they touched when held by a compatible wielder, this blade held a heat that felt as if it could burst into flames at any moment.
Since Aris had granted Seri the authority to use the weapons she forged…
I began to suspect that the damn Saintess had planned to use Seri’s hands to somehow leave me in a near-death state.
She knew that as long as I didn’t fear death, I would never kill Seri with my own hands.
However, one crucial element was missing.
Perhaps it was the influence of having her Stigmata stripped away, but while the method of forging the weapon resembled Aris’s, the divine power infused within it was severely lacking.
Seri’s combat style was so exceptional that even Aris had coveted it, and now, Seri even had my demonic energy mixed within her.
If she were truly wielding one of Aris’s weapons properly, she should have possessed destructive power surpassing even the Hero with his Holy Sword.
Yet, the dagger Seri held couldn't release even a fraction of its stored heat; it barely managed to poke an air hole in my body.
“Cough…”
“Ah…… Aaaah……!”
Of course, I couldn't stop the blood from boiling up in my throat, but since my internal organs weren't completely incinerated, I wouldn't die even if I were stabbed a few more times.
The moment I felt the deeply embedded blade trying to pull out, I grit my teeth and struggled to suppress any sound.
“Hyaaaaaah……! Stop, sto-o-op……!”
Along with Seri’s desperate scream, the blade plunged in again.
I had no choice but to block my ears for a brief moment.
Perhaps it was because she was the first woman I had kept by my side, but seeing her cry made a part of my heart feel hollow.
I felt that if I heard the sound of Seri breaking down into sobs, I might instinctively snatch the dagger from her hand.
Similar to when I spoke with Elina in my head, I began to direct a constant stream of words toward myself.
I thought talking to myself might not be enough, but as I shouted at the top of my lungs internally like a madman, the surrounding sounds seemed to get muffled.
A short time passed like that.
Once.
And once more.
The blade dug into the same spot every time, and as expected, the pain only intensified with each repetition.
Every time Seri’s arm moved back and forth, it felt as if my internal organs were being twisted.
“Cough…. Cough…!”
With every cough, more blood leaked from my mouth.
I had already been stabbed about five times, so it would have been reasonable to feel a sense of alarm that I might actually die.
And yet, my head was still filled only with worry for Seri.
Even though I could barely hear her, seeing her crying with her mouth wide open like a child made it impossible to shake off my concern.
I had intended not to listen to her crying at all.
“Nothing… will happen…. Just stay still…. Seri….”
“Hic…… hic…. Ma-Master…. hic….”
It would be troublesome if she got startled by my sudden embrace and pulled her arm away, so I had no choice.
I hugged Seri’s back with all my might.
Binding her as tightly as possible so she couldn't pull the dagger out, I removed the palm that had been covering her eyes.
“Why are you crying…. Master isn’t going to die…. Don’t worry….”
I forced the most reassuring smile I could muster, and as my hand traced down her cheek, I caressed her soft lips.
“Hmmpf….”
“Seri…. Can you… open your mouth slowly…?”
“……Ahhh.”
“Good girl, Seri.”
I slid two fingers into her mouth.
“It’s just… a scary nightmare…. And now… it’s time to wake up….”
I gently caught her tongue with my index finger and lightly caressed it.
“Heu-mmpf…?!”
“Relax, Seri.”
I momentarily concentrated demonic energy into my fingers and gripped her tongue firmly.
“Hmph-mmpf…!”
Perhaps because an overwhelming amount of demonic energy had entered her all at once, Seri suddenly began to struggle to escape my embrace.
Seeing her body begin to glow as she drew out an excessive amount of divine power, it seemed things weren't going exactly as I had planned.
I had intentionally tilted my head to let Seri get covered in my blood, but as expected, not much demonic energy seemed to be mixed into the blood itself.
Seri wasn't feeling any pleasure; she was only struggling to get away from me.
Then again, if my blood contained that much demonic energy, Aris wouldn't be using me as a living dildo.
I let go of Seri’s tongue and quickly moved my hand down.
Passing her breasts and fumbling down her waist, I slid my hand under her skirt.
I pushed her underwear aside and, with demonic energy coating my fingertip, I flicked her clit.
“Hyat?!”
As if it had been waiting for me, the clit poked its head out, and I pinched it lightly with my fingers.
“Hng-aaaaah…♥”
Fortunately, the demonic energy seemed to have seeped in just right.
Her body trembling violently, Seri threw her head back and climaxed noisily, spraying pussy juice.
With that, Seri’s resistance rapidly weakened.
“Haaah…♥ Hng…♥”
“Seri, get some rest. I’ll see you later.”
In the next moment, Seri’s body went limp, and the dagger that had been lodged in me completely vanished.
Holding the unconscious Seri in my arms, I headed toward the bed.
The hole in my body was quite large, making me grimace with every step.
I wondered if I should call Sien and ask her to bring some medicine.
“Ma…ster…♥ Haaaah…♥”
To my surprise, Seri was still conscious.
“I-I’m… sowwy…♥ The… wound… hieee… nng…♥ Seri… will… m-make it better… hng…♥”
She painfully lifted her limp arm and placed it against my cheek.
Immediately after, her light began to rapidly seep into my body.
While it couldn't perfectly heal the wound, I could feel the bleeding definitely stop.
“Hah…♥ Haaah…♥ Ma-Master…♥”
“Yeah. Tell me.”
“Se-Seri…♥ L-loves you… so, so much…♥”
I kept my mouth shut without answering.
I remembered scolding her last time, telling her to take care of her own body before mine.
Of all things, she had used the very arm that had been stabbed earlier to reach out and touch my cheek.
Holding my breath as much as possible, I quietly laid Seri on the bed and sat down with my back to her.
A hand tentatively caressed my back.
“But…. Be-because of Seri…. hic…. P-please don’t cry too much…. Master…….”
Seri’s hand slowly slid down and came to rest on the bed.
Hearing her fall into a deep sleep with steady breathing, I hung my head low.
It was partly because my vision was blurred by the tears welling up.
—My, my. Seri is still alive?
—Where the hell are you? You fucking bitch.
Because of Aris, who had contacted me as if she’d been waiting for this moment, I could no longer maintain my composure and had to keep my head down.
—You’ve become quite rough, Sihyeon-nim…♥ If I could have heard such a beastly voice when you were pinned under me, it would have been much more arousing…♥ What a shame♥
—……You crazy bitch.
She was definitely a woman obsessed with lust.
“Slurp♥ Chu♥ Slurrrp…♥ Mwah…♥”
“Ohh♥ Ah…♥ Ooooh…♥ Ye-Yerin-ah…♥ It’s too intense…♥ Hee-eut…♥”
Even while she was talking to me, she had Yerin between her legs.
—I-It’s your fault…♥ Because you… h-had such delicious demonic energy…♥ After sucking it a-all up… I had no choice but to become… s-such a lewd bitch…♥
I wasn't sure how she was showing me this scene.
“Lick, lick…♥ Haaah…♥ Mwah♥ Mwah♥ Sluuuurp…♥”
“Oooooh…♥ Th-the clit…♥ You can’t just suck it like that…♥ A good puppy… has to l-listen to her master…♥”
“Hah♥ Hah♥ Woof♥ Woof♥”
“Haaaaah…♥”
Watching Yerin, whose face was buried under Aris’s buttocks as she licked her pussy.
—How do you feel…? It’s been a while since you heard Yerin’s voice…. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
I felt like absolute shit.
