#063 Tanya's Humiliation
The ship plunged into the ocean depths in the blink of an eye.
A massive wave surged skyward before crashing back down with terrifying force.
“Everyone grab onto something!”
“We’re getting swept away! Brace yourselves!!!”
The seasoned soldiers’ urgent shouts rang out across the deck. They frantically lashed themselves and the ship together with ropes, yelling warnings to everyone around them.
But for the princess, the noble ladies, Tanya, and most of the knights, it was already far too late to react.
‘Beres!’
Got it!
Even if it risked revealing her identity, that didn’t matter right now. Survival came first.
I pictured it in my mind—a colossal barrier large enough to envelop everyone aboard. A wall so solid that even this monstrous wave couldn’t sweep us away…!
But just before I could finish the spell, the ship lurched violently once more.
And then, something completely insane happened.
‘What the hell… a barrier?!’
Exactly. Out of nowhere, a gigantic barrier formed around the entire vessel. It swelled like a massive bubble, completely sealing the ship and cutting off the influx of water.
A barrier this enormous? I couldn’t believe my eyes. Even if you gathered fifty mages together, they probably couldn’t create something on this scale. And yet a single ship had just done it?
This isn’t over yet.
‘What?’
The moment those words left her, the ship shook again. The runes densely carved across the hull began to glow with brilliant light. From them, countless spirits suddenly burst forth, racing downward alongside the ship toward the crushing darkness of the deep sea.
Exterminate the enemy!
Protect the peace!
Damn it. What the hell is going on?!
In the midst of the chaos, there was one person—no, one elf—who could explain this madness. I lunged forward, grabbed Audrey by the collar, and snarled.
“Audrey! What the hell is this war? What’s the seal? Explain it so I can understand!”
“I don’t want to~ We’re all going to die anyway, so why bother explaining? I’m tired of having to spell everything out to you humans every single time.”
“You little—!”
At that moment, Tanya appeared beside me. She radiated murderous intent as she pressed her blade against Audrey’s throat.
“If you don’t want your head separated from your body, start talking. Tell us exactly what’s happening and how we can make it safely back to Florian. Everything. Now.”
But Audrey simply let out a mocking snort.
Tanya’s forehead bulged with a throbbing vein.
“Can you even do it?”
“Oh, I can. I’ll cut off one of your arms and see if you can still laugh like that!”
“Lady Tanya, wait…!”
A flash of blue sword energy erupted.
The very next instant, the eyes of everyone present—including me and Tanya—widened in shock.
Audrey had somehow slipped from my grasp and was now dangling from the mast.
The elf grinned.
“Hehe. With your level of skill, you can’t even graze the hem of my clothes. Audrey isn’t weak enough to be beaten by some brat who hasn’t even lived fifty years yet~”
“Goddamn it…!”
Still, the others who had witnessed the situation quickly gathered around us. They had realized they needed to work together if they wanted to survive.
Yet Audrey’s face was overflowing with composure. She looked down at us like she was daring us to come at her, hanging from the mast with both legs like a monkey in a tree.
No matter how long-lived elves were supposed to be… there were seven imperial knights, three mages, and even a magic swordsman here. Where the hell was all this confidence coming from?
Well… she really is strong, that’s true.
‘Is she strong enough that even the two of us working together couldn’t beat her?’
Pfft. No, not that strong. But the situation’s gotten strangely complicated. I think we should just sit back and watch for now. Look at the bow.
I turned my head.
I looked where the ship was heading.
And my jaw dropped.
An absolutely colossal battle was unfolding.
The vanguard ships that had gone ahead were locked in a fierce struggle against some kind of creatures. Our vessel was plunging straight into the heart of that battlefield.
Thanks to the fighting breaking out in every direction, everyone—including me—could clearly see exactly what we were up against.
“M-mermaids…!”
“The mermaids and elves are fighting each other!”
While the spirits were greater in both number and individual strength, the mermaids rising from the deepest parts of the ocean were truly endless. Because of that, the elves maintained a wedge-shaped formation as they descended in a straight line.
As if something at the very bottom of this war would bring it to an end.
“Everyone, get a hold of yourselves! This is no time to be distracted by the battle around us!”
The princess’s sharp cry snapped us back to reality. She pointed at the elf and declared,
“If what that elf said is true, we’re about to become sacrifices for these things. That means we must take her down right now, no matter what!”
Everyone finally grasped the gravity of the situation.
A sacrifice meant death.
A completely separate battle broke out on the deck.
It began with the knights. They instantly leaped across the mast as if it were flat ground and swung their blades at the elf.
Boom. Boom-boom-boom.
The clash of sword energy sent shockwaves rippling through the air, accompanied by explosive roars from above.
The elf darted across the tilting, descending mast like a squirrel, playing a deadly game of tag with the seven knights. Her nimble movements made it nearly impossible for them to land a hit—especially while the ship was listing at a sharp angle. Fighting an elf with the balance of someone who could run through jungle trees was no easy task.
But then an even bigger problem arose.
The moment the princess tried to support them with magic, a rope from right behind her suddenly whipped forward in an attack.
Damn it…! I immediately blocked it.
‘Barrier.’
Bang!
The princess spun around in surprise at the sound behind her head.
But that was only the beginning.
Every single rope on the ship came alive, wrapping around anything and anyone hostile toward Audrey.
‘What do we do, Beres? Do we still need to keep watching?’
I had stayed still earlier because she said we should observe the situation, but at this rate we were going to get completely overwhelmed.
Hmm… If we can subdue that elf without killing her, it’d be fine.
‘You know that’s impossible!’
That elf was strong. Strong enough that we’d have to fight with the intent to kill.
Subdue her? That was ridiculous.
Whoosh.
I rolled across the deck to dodge the rope that was spinning rapidly as it closed in to bind me. Then I quickly lifted my leg to avoid the one trying to snare my ankle.
Then there’s no choice. Just let them capture you for now.
‘…What?’
If we kill that elf bitch right here, we all die. See the shield surrounding us? The second she dies, it disappears and—boom. We all get crushed to death by water pressure.
‘Fuck.’
So just get caught. Let’s watch how things develop and move from there. The whole “sacrifice” talk means they won’t kill us immediately.
‘Fine.’
Beres and I were one and the same. If I died, she died too. If she was suggesting we let ourselves be captured, then the immediate danger probably wasn’t that high.
So I obediently let myself be tied up.
One by one, with only slight differences in timing, the others were captured as well.
After Bella—who had been hopping around playing tag with the ropes—and Tanya, who fought desperately until the very end, everyone was tightly bound and left dangling helplessly in the air.
Audrey stepped on top of Tanya, who was completely trussed up from her shoulders to the tips of her toes. Then she gave her a mocking, contempt-filled smile.
“Is that all? Aren’t you going to struggle more?”
“You fucking bitch…!”
But no matter how fiercely Tanya glared, Audrey didn’t look scared in the slightest. She even started hopping around and taunting her.
Then suddenly, she planted her foot on Tanya’s face and began grinding it down. Grind. Grind.
“Don’t act so tough when you don’t even have the skills to back it up.”
“Ugh… You damn elf who—!”
“Say you’ll never act up again. Beg for forgiveness. If you don’t, I’ll keep stomping until I break your nose and all your teeth.”
“Fuck off. Ptooie.”
The elf smiled viciously. A chilling madness flickered in her eyes as she prepared to put more strength into her foot. I quickly called out to stop her.
“Audrey!”
“?”
“You definitely called me a friend earlier, right?”
“…I did. But if you’re about to ask me not to use you as a sacrifice, I’ll say it now—it’s not possible.”
“That’s not it. As a friend, I have a favor to ask.”
“What is it?”
“Even if we’re offered as sacrifices, make sure none of me or my companions get seriously hurt until then. That’s my request.”
She looked genuinely surprised. Then she lifted her foot from Tanya’s face and smiled brightly.
“As expected, Kael is a good person. I could tell from the very first time I saw you. You should know that you’ve been spared a lot of misery thanks to Kael.”
But Tanya’s pride had been too badly wounded to let it end there. She spat again.
This time the spit flew surprisingly high, nearly hitting Audrey in the face. Of course, the elf lightly dodged it at the last second.
Audrey gave a cold, twisted smile. Though she was smiling, it was easy to tell she was extremely angry.
‘Damn it. I went through all that trouble to calm her down and make sure no one gets hurt, and this damn auntie just had to—!’
Why? That’s what a true knight is~ The stubborn kind that resists until the bitter end! Ah, I really want to fuck her ass soon♥
Audrey took a bold step forward, standing directly over Tanya’s face.
No matter how much of a knight she was, provoking someone far stronger than herself had left Tanya visibly tense.
“Hmm… I’m really angry, but a friend’s request is precious. So I won’t lay a hand on you.”
At the elf’s words, I and the others let out sighs of relief. Even Tanya—though she didn’t show it—seemed slightly less tense.
She really had made an outrageous provocation she couldn’t possibly handle… I’d been so worried for nothing.
Huh? Why?
‘Because I don’t want the outside of my new pussy house getting ruined.’
Hehehe. Aslan, you really are worse than the demon race sometimes.
But my relief was completely shattered by Audrey’s next sharp words.
“Instead!”
With a mischievous look on her face, she suddenly pulled down her panties.
Before I could even wonder what the hell she was doing, she squatted directly over Tanya’s face and—
“You… you mmph… mmmph…!”
“Naughty children need to be properly punished. How is it? Does my piss taste good?”
“Ugh. Stop… right… now…!”
But she even used her fingers to spread her folds, aiming straight for Tanya’s mouth and nose as she continued urinating. When Tanya kept struggling, Audrey grabbed her head with her left hand, yanked it back, and kept going.
After a long twenty seconds of continuous urination, Audrey pulled her panties back up and warned Tanya.
“If you act up one more time, I’ll give you something else next. I’ll piss straight into your mouth and make you swallow it all, so behave yourself and stay quiet.”
Then she glanced around at everyone else.
It was clear the same threat applied to all of us.
Everyone quickly averted their eyes. Though… was it just my imagination, or were some of them avoiding eye contact for a very different reason?
Imagination my ass. They’re all rock hard after seeing an elf’s pussy. Hehehe.
‘Hey. Am I hard too?’
Why are you even asking something so obvious? You’re number one, dumbass.
Tsk. Shouldn’t have asked.
