The Siege of Flauros Dungeon
I used the first interception facility of the Flauros Dungeon to operate a sprinkler system powered by a Slime Dragon. The glob of slime, spinning like a pinwheel, engulfed the pack of burning leopards and knocked them all unconscious. "Your posture for receiving a gift is absolutely pathetic." Once the assault concluded, I crushed the only beast-kin woman who had managed to keep her wits about her. I literally threw my body onto her, and before she could even reveal her name, she slammed the back of her head against the ground and passed out.
"...I hope she didn't get a concussion from that." I lifted the leopard beast-kin to check her condition. Aside from a small bump on the back of her head, she seemed fine, save for the fact that she was out cold. Her fiery, reddish hair was a tangled mess, and thanks to the fur pelt that covered only her chest and lower body like a primitive tribe, her level of exposure was severe. I hadn't looked closely while fighting, but the garment was essentially doing nothing more than covering her genitals.
"Better than the Andras, at least." I pulled a rope I had tucked away in my robe's inner pocket and bound the nameless beast-kin tightly. As I had practiced, it took less than a minute to tie her in a kyu-baku (torture-style) knot. I made a knot above her navel so I could easily carry her like a packaged parcel. "Packaging complete! This will make a fine housewarming gift."
"She's going to hate that. She'll probably be furious, too."
"So what if she's angry? It's not like she can beat me. Ryun, you shouldn't judge demons by the standards of elves or humans. In the end, they always follow the strong. Lime, let's make sure she can't resist once she wakes up."
I laid the woman flat on the ground. Lime, who had used the Slime Dragon to bury the other unconscious leopard beast-kin up to their necks, scurried over and sat on the woman's body. Kkeureureuk. Lime gently pulled the woman's mouth open with her hand and dripped her own bodily fluids into it. The fluid flowing like a waterfall from her lips had an aphrodisiac effect several times stronger than that of the Slime Dragon.
"......S-s-s-s." The unconscious beast-kin's ears turned red, and her breathing grew ragged. Even without the mucosal absorption, the beast-kin would have gone into heat just from the fluid, but Lime's actions didn't stop there. Lick, lick. Lime spread her body thin and began to dye the entire rope with her fluids. The slime began to soak into the rope. It went without saying that Lime's fluid was now coating every inch of the woman's exposed skin.
Meanwhile, I gave orders to my other subordinates, the Slime Dragons. "Units 3 and 4, pour your fluid onto the beast-kin buried in the ground, too. Make them so horny while they're stuck in the dirt that they can't even twitch."
Units 3 and 4 vomited sticky fluid onto the tops of the beast-kin's heads. The slime running down their scalps soaked their entire heads. Even if it wasn't mucosal absorption like the woman, it was more than enough to drive them into a frenzy.
"Units 1 and 2, stand by here and rest before joining up. Units 3 and 4, keep watch over these guys. Lime, back off. That’s enough."
Lime, who had been enveloping the beast-kin woman as if trying to consume her whole, pulled away. The woman's entire body was glistening with Lime's slime, and I grabbed the knot handle on her belly—packaged like a pizza box—and hoisted her up. "Alright, let's go. Oh, and Unit 5..."
He was the youngest, but he was a being capable of evolving into a King Slime. I intended to funnel experience points to him. And the method wasn't just letting him get the last hit, but turning the Slime Dragon into a weapon. I explained my thoughts in detail to the Slime Dragon, and Unit 5 immediately poked his head out over my left shoulder.
"Heh, just you wait. Just you wait."
"Master, what exactly are you planning to do?"
"Hm? It's nothing much. I intend to take them down without killing them, but I should funnel the experience to him, right? If you fire your arrows, you'll just kill them all."
Since fighting them directly could result in getting scratched by the beast-kin's claws, attacking from a distance was the best strategy. "Right. There's no better way to subdue them all without killing them."
Kyahhhk!! A roar of beast-kin echoed from the other side of the passage. It seemed the beast-kin I was holding in my right hand was a hostage of higher value than I thought; they came charging down the corridor as if they were ready to throw their lives away like dust.
"Ready." I extended my left arm forward. Slime Dragon Unit 5 used my left arm as a support, thrust his head forward, and opened his mouth wide. The beast-kin charged in with their heads burning, and the targets were far too easy to hit.
"Ah, yes. This is what you call a pitching machine." After Unit 5 tilted his head back slightly, he shouted, "FIRE—!!"
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!! He fired the clumps of slime gathered inside his body forward like a machine gun. I braced my left arm and my whole body against the recoil of the shots, slowly moving my arm to aim at the heads of the charging beast-kin. Splat! The lead beast-kin was struck by three clumps in a vertical line from his chin to his nose and forehead, collapsing to the floor. The beast-kin behind him dodged left and right as they charged.
"Sorry, but I have plenty of ammunition loaded!!" Thud-thud-thud-thud! The Slime Dragon only fired the clumps forward. I moved my left arm up, down, left, and right to keep the beast-kin from getting close. After the lead beast-kin fell, the others tried to dodge in their own ways, but not everyone succeeded. One who tried to kick off the wall to jump was hit in the foot and tumbled; one who ducked to dodge had the guy right behind him take a face-full of slime and fall backward; one who jumped to avoid a fallen comrade took a barrage to the solar plexus and slammed his head into the floor mid-jump.
"Where do you think you're going without a shield?" The beast-kin charging down the straight corridor couldn't withstand the wall of fire and all fell to the floor without exception. Thanks to my decent aim, the seven or so beast-kin were all knocked unconscious by slime to the face, and I finished them off by sniping their heads.
"Gah!" They weren't dead, but their faint remaining consciousness must have been completely severed. The slime bullets burst against the tops of the beast-kin's heads, and the smell of slime filled the air.
Thud-thud... cough. Unit 5 coughed while spewing slime. Half of his body, from his long tail to his torso, shriveled up. "No, I told you to only use half!!"
Kkeureureuk. "Lime says he got a bit greedy because it was too much fun watching the enemies get hit by the clumps and fall over."
Unit 5 spoke, Lime listened, and Ryun interpreted. It was a rather cumbersome translation system, but I understood Unit 5's feelings perfectly. How good would it feel to watch enemies fall like autumn leaves just by spewing out the fluid from your own body? Especially if it all counted as your own experience points.
"Don't push yourself any further now. Just one more shot."
Kyahhhk! One of the beast-kin who had fallen closest to me leaped high into the air. His hair was no longer burning because of the slime, but his eyes were blazing with fury toward me and Unit 5.
"That won't do, I'm firing!" I raised my left arm at a 15-degree angle. Unit 5 fired his final slime bullet with precision, as if I had pulled a trigger. The small slime ball launched by Unit 5 flew faster than any other, and—Splat!
"Huuu———"
It struck the beast-kin's 'delicate spot' with pinpoint accuracy. The beast-kin rolled his eyes back, showing the whites, and fell to the ground in the exact posture he had been in to claw at me. The stopping power of the slime bullet fired by Unit 5 was significant enough to ignore the recoil of his jump.
"Ugh, h-h-h-h...!!" The beast-kin collapsed to the floor with a wheezing sound. One hand was balled into a fist, and the other was clutching his crotch; it made me wince just looking at him. "Sorry. I aimed for it on purpose, but he's in more pain than I thought."
I lifted my foot and stomped on the beast-kin's back. Since there was no way to reduce the pain, like using sleep magic, knocking him out with a greater shock was the only way. "Ughhh...." The beast-kin passed out. After dropping Unit 5 back slightly, I gently closed the eyelids of the beast-kin, whose whites were still glistening. "Sorry. Consider yourself lucky you're not dead."
I rolled the beast-kin aside and walked straight down the corridor. There were no more ambushes after the beast-kin who took the slime bullet to the groin. Maze-like rooms appeared here and there, but I broke through them in a straight line—Lime demolished the walls—and I was able to reach the center of the dungeon in no time.
"They blocked the path with two layers." At the end of the corridor, a thick iron door greeted me. The surface was quite smooth for a dungeon, as if it had been made by melting steel into thick plates. I knocked on the iron door with my left hand. Tap, tap, tap.
"Is anyone home—-!!"
There was no response from inside. I took a deep breath and lifted the beast-kin woman and my foot together. "How rude!! Then I'll act without manners too!!"
Kwang—-!! I kicked the iron door. With a 'crunching' sound, one side of the iron door swung wide open. I ran inside, using the beast-kin woman as a shield. Inside, the beast-kin were obviously puffing up their mouths as if to fire something at me.
"D-don't shoot!!" The one who appeared to be the leader of the beast-kin hurriedly stopped his subordinates. The beast-kin were all coughing, spitting out sparks from their mouths. As expected, the female beast-kin I had captured and brought as a gift was a hostage of high value.
"Who is Flauros!"
"It's me! Who are you, you bastard!" A leopard beast-kin, twice the size of the others, was huffing at me. Not only was his lion-like mane blazing red, but red flames were also licking at his claws and talons.
"Who am I, you ask? Heh." I pulled the hostage beast-kin woman tight in front of me. As soon as I grabbed her perky breasts, which were prominent thanks to the kyu-baku knot, Flauros's eyes went wild.
"Put her down!"
"Don't give me orders, you son of a bitch! You answer the questions I ask!"
"Grrr...!" Flauros lowered his stance with a resentful face. But he was still burning with fighting spirit, looking like he would devour me the moment I let my guard down. I felt triumphant and lifted the hostage's white neck.
"What's your relationship with this girl? Is she your daughter? Or your wife?"
"......She is my older sister!" Flauros ground his sharp teeth and spat out flames. The other beast-kin also glared at me, sympathizing with Flauros's rage. The heat was so intense I felt like I might get burned. Of course, that didn't matter. I was more curious about the identity of the hostage in front of me.
"Sister? Your biological sister?"
"...That's right!"
"You don't look alike at all."
"Shut up! My sister just happens to look like our mother, and I just happen to look like our father! You bastard, that's not what's important right now! Won't you put her down immediately!!"
"I told you not to give me orders, you bastard. Fine, let's do this."
Rip!! I tore all the ropes off the beast-kin woman with my hands. Deep red rope marks were left on the woman's white skin, and Flauros smiled in relief. "That's right, you should be fair and square like a man, you son of a bit—!!!"
Rip. I tore off the rest of the woman's breast covering. Her white, luscious breasts were fully exposed, and Flauros and the other beast-kin all averted their eyes. "It's not like you bastards have never seen a woman's chest before, why are you cowering over this? Hey, Flauros. If you give me orders in that tone one more time, the next thing won't end like this."
I gripped the woman's breast with one hand, and with the other, I slid my hand down her belly and into the inside of her fur-pelt skirt, which looked like a miniskirt. Because I was holding the woman's chest as if to cover it, ironically, they were able to turn their gazes back toward me.
"......What is it that you want? How could someone who is 63rd commit such a heinous act! Andras!!"
"I don't feel like correcting you, so I'll be blunt. I've come to take over the dungeon, Flauros."
"...I am 64th."
"I know. I came here knowing that."
Slap, slap! I struck the beast-kin woman's chest with my hand. I pinched her nipples and slapped her cheeks with my palm to make her come to her senses. "Y-y-you bastard!! Stop... please!"
Flauros pleaded with me with a desperate face. The woman's fair skin turned red from my touch, and she began to regain consciousness, twitching slightly. "Flauros. Choose." I continued to wake the woman up and urged Flauros to make a choice.
"Will you submit to me, or will you fight and die? If you choose the latter...."
Rustle. I unzipped my pants and thrust my stiff, erect member between the woman's thighs. The glans, glistening with pre-cum, poked its head out at the hem of the woman's skirt. The woman's thighs were as hot as a warm bath, fitting for a monster that manipulated fire. "You know what happens if you don't answer, right?"
A battle for supremacy. The condition for dungeon seizure. The disposal of Flauros, or his submission. "If you don't surrender, your sister will be devoured by me. Even if you die, forever." Deep despair settled in Flauros's eyes as he looked at me.
