The Fall of the Vampire Queen
As Trene became Park Jihun's familiar, every female vampire who had been bound beneath her was instantly integrated into his own familiars and vanished from the spot.
"...Huh?"
"What the hell? Why did they disappear...?"
The male vampires left standing were utterly bewildered. Their link to their master, the Vampire Queen, had been severed, and half the vampires who had been right beside them were simply gone.
You have cleared the A-rank Gate 'Vampire Queen's Castle'.
One of the party members has achieved an accomplishment.
Cleared by subjugating the boss without killing it.
The stats of the achievement attainer will increase.
The hunters were just as confused. They had been fighting with everything they had when suddenly half the vampires disappeared and a gate-clear notification popped up. It wasn't unheard of. Sometimes a team would ignore the smaller monsters and take out the boss first. Since the boss was usually the gate's core, killing it would clear the gate itself. The remaining monsters would either die naturally inside the gate or be quickly cleaned up before it closed so the hunters could collect the loot. One or the other.
'The strike team must have taken her down!'
The hunters were certain the separate unit sent after the boss had killed the Vampire Queen. But what the hell did "cleared by subjugating the boss without killing it" mean? They had seen all kinds of achievements before, but never anything like this.
"Whatever, just kill them all!"
They decided to slaughter the vampires in front of them for the mana stones and byproducts. Their numbers had been cut in half, but there were still around thirty left.
"Graaaagh!"
"Kyaaaagh!"
The vampires had been compensating for their lack of numbers with raw individual power. Now that half of them were gone, they couldn't even put up a fight. They were cut down in the blink of an eye.
"Whew... It's over."
With every last enemy gone, the battle finally ended.
"Damage report."
"Yes. In our raid party, one death and three injured..."
"No deaths in our party. However, several suffered critical injuries..."
It wasn't completely bloodless. The chaos of melee combat had hidden the worst of it, but out of the thirty-one hunters in the allied raid, two were dead and about ten had sustained serious wounds. Most of the rest had minor injuries. It was a heavy toll.
Still, it was a near-S-rank gate against the notoriously difficult vampires. On top of that, they had been forced into an all-out battle that included the boss the moment they entered. By those standards, they had achieved victory with relatively few sacrifices.
"Our summoned subordinates are all right, yes?"
"Yeah, they're fine."
"Kar is fine too!"
Fortunately, all of Park Jihun's familiars had come through safely. They had taken some minor wounds, but nothing their own regeneration couldn't handle. The troops they had summoned had suffered losses, but since they were beings created through a 'skill,' they could be replaced at any time. The lower succubi under Sira were proper familiars with real bodies, but Sira had wisely unsummoned them the moment things turned dangerous. In the end, not a single one had been lost.
On the other side, the hunters who had won by subjugating the Vampire Queen were facing a storm of questions.
"What the hell just happened? I heard you had some skill that raises your stats in battle, but how does a B-rank suddenly fight like an S-rank?"
"More importantly, what did you do to her? Did you turn her into a familiar? By giving her blood or something? Wait, is that because she's a vampire? Does the method change depending on the monster?"
"It looked like you shoved the subdued Vampire Queen into your subspace just now... Is there no limit to what you can put in there? Or is it only you and your familiars?"
The leader of Piece Team 8 and the main DPS from Bianco's raid peppered Park Jihun with questions at a blistering pace. How his stat boost was completely broken, what the subspace he used during the fight was, whether the gate had cleared because he turned her into a familiar, if that had been the taming process, and now that the Vampire Queen was his familiar, what would happen to all the vampires under her. They didn't even pause for breath.
"Ah, geez. What the hell are you all yapping about? Just calm down already."
Park Jihun, who had been speaking Korean, let out a heavy sigh.
"Calm down, calm down. Hey? I said calm the fuck down."
He got them to settle.
"It sounds like they're asking about Sunbae's abilities and how you create familiars."
Shin Jiyeon, who could at least understand English, quietly translated from the side.
"It's a secret, you idiots. Just accept it and move on~"
Explaining was a pain, and he saw no reason to reveal the details of his powers. With that, Park Jihun turned and walked toward the group of hunters who seemed to have finished their fight.
'Fuck, let's finish the settlement and get out of here fast. I really want to rail our new vampire queen senseless right now.'
His head was already full of vivid images of rolling around wildly with the fresh, delicious Vampire Queen he had just claimed.
"You really don't want any of it? Honestly, you basically soloed the boss."
The leaders of the three international raid parties looked at Park Jihun with troubled expressions. He couldn't understand every word of English, but he caught the general meaning and shook his head.
"It's fine. We agreed on this from the start, didn't we?"
They were talking about splitting the mana stones and byproducts. But Park Jihun had made it clear the moment they entered the gate: all he wanted was ownership of the monster he captured. He didn't need anything else.
'I already have more money than I know what to do with anyway.'
Money had never been his goal. He had more than enough, and even without payment, the endless stream of corporate sponsorships was more than enough to live comfortably. His only objective was familiars. Female monsters.
He had no interest in wasting time dividing up loot. He would rather use that time to find a place to stay or return to his subspace and spend some hot, intense time with his familiars. Especially with the new recruit—the Vampire Queen.
'Haa... A vampire. And a high-and-mighty queen character at that!'
Even until the very moment she had been subdued and turned into his familiar, she had never dropped her haughty demeanor. He was dying to see what would happen when that proud woman was pinned beneath him, impaled on his massive cock. The anticipation was so strong that nothing else could even register in his mind.
"Sunbae, it doesn't look like we have anything to settle here anyway. Let's just go."
Shin Jiyeon felt exactly the same way. The staff and president from the Vietnam Hunter Association were on their way to offer thanks and deliver the commission fee, but—
"If the association people arrive, please contact us separately."
Shin Jiyeon rattled off the English at top speed, then grabbed Park Jihun and left the area immediately.
"Haa... haa... Sunbae, I can't hold it anymore."
Her eyes burned with pure lust. Park Jihun was in no position to judge her.
"You too? Yeah, same here."
The moment they were clear of the others, they moved straight into the subspace.
Paht—
When they arrived, an enormous castle now stood where there had been nothing before. It seemed that when Trene entered the subspace, the space had automatically created a domain suited for her.
'She went and built a whole damn castle.'
No matter how much the subspace reflected a familiar's will, this felt a little excessive. Still, they stepped inside. The interior had the gloomy atmosphere of an old castle decorated in dreary shades of gray. They continued deeper, heading for the central hall, where they found Trene and the other familiars already engaged in conversation.
"Tsk. To think a vulgar demon whore would be here. It truly fills me with rage."
"Hehe~ Is that so, my dear vampire queen?"
For some reason, Sira and Trene seemed to be locked in a battle of wills. The low-class demon whore succubus versus the undead noble—a Vampire Queen, no less. They were an incredibly poor match.
It looked like the noble Trene had taken an instant, one-sided dislike to Sira, and even the usually sly and playful Sira seemed genuinely irritated. In pure combat strength Trene was obviously superior, but she was the junior familiar here, and when it came to seducing Park Jihun with feminine charm, Sira held the clear advantage.
Just who would win this little power struggle—
"Hey. Stop fighting and both of you lie down."
Grab!
Well, he didn't care who won. Park Jihun strode forward, seized both women, and pulled them down onto the floor of the central hall. As his familiars, they couldn't possibly resist his touch. Both women ended up flat on their backs.
"Ahn~ Jihun, you're so rough."
"Euk?! W-what is the meaning of this?!"
Sira seemed perfectly used to it and even enjoyed the treatment, but Trene, who still didn't fully understand what becoming Park Jihun's familiar truly meant, was visibly shocked.
'What is this man...? Does he usually treat his subordinates so harshly? Or is he punishing me for quarreling with my subordinate...?'
While she was still processing, Park Jihun climbed on top of her. Then—
Whoosh!
He yanked aside the sexy dress that already revealed the curve of her breast, pulling the fabric completely to the side. Even while lying on her back, her snow-white, elastic breasts stood proudly upward, now fully exposed to the world.
'As expected, no bra.'
He had suspected it from the side view, but she really was braless. That fact alone turned him on even more. Her pink nipples stood perky atop the soft mounds, like flower petals resting on fresh snow.
"W-what are you doing?!"
At the sudden exposure, Trene's face flushed crimson and she hurriedly tried to cover her chest.
"Huh? What? She's actually getting shy."
She was wearing a mesh dress that left the sides of her breasts, her pubic mound, and her thighs completely visible, so he had assumed she was some kind of exhibitionist pervert. Her unexpectedly embarrassed reaction caught him off guard.
"Ah, maybe they didn't explain it to you?"
Park Jihun looked around at the other familiars with a puzzled expression. Had they not told her what becoming his familiar actually entailed?
"We did tell her. That she would become Master's s-sex partner..."
Briana still blushed even after having mixed bodies with him multiple times. Park Jihun found it adorable. But if they had already explained everything, why was she panicking like this? Hadn't she stayed still because she had accepted it?
"W-what? That... it was not a joke?"
It seemed she had thought they were messing with her. But when every other woman had been subdued, far from hating sex with him, they had welcomed it with open arms and dripping wet pussies.
"Mmm... N-no. I am not yet mentally prepared..."
At that moment, the Vampire Queen Trene blushed furiously and shook her head. It wasn't that she refused to do it—she simply hadn't been ready for it to happen so suddenly.
Unfortunately, Park Jihun had zero patience left to wait for her to mentally prepare. He wanted to drag this proud, noble Vampire Queen straight down into the depths of pleasure right now. Her noble image had already been half-destroyed anyway.
To the woman who had just killed the mood with her hesitant words, he grinned.
"What the hell are you talking about, you little pussy?"
"Kyaaa~!"
With a bright, shameless smile, he simply reached down and began stripping her clothes off again.
