Chapter Title: Foreplay Goes Round and Round
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The foreplay was spinning in circles.
Standing right in front of me was Seolgi.
No doubt about it—my one and only childhood friend.
But when she warned me—no, threatened me—not to ever leave her side...
A chill ran down my spine.
Goosebumps erupted across my entire body.
Was this really the girl I knew?
"S-Seolgi..."
"Yeah, it's me."
"You... what the hell..."
"Don't freak out. And don't look at me like that."
They say lovers always gaze at each other with smiles.
So what the hell was that look in your eyes right now?
Why stare at your one and only childhood friend like she's some kind of monster?
I wanted to gouge your eyes out.
'...!'
I wasn't imagining it.
This was Seolgi... but somehow, not Seolgi at all.
Incredible as it sounded, it felt like something else was mixed inside her right now.
I quickly let go of the hand I'd been gripping and leaped backward.
Once I'd put some distance between me and this Seolgi lookalike...
"That's harsh."
"!!"
"My feelings for you are real, you know."
That was when whoever was inside Seolgi's body finally started showing their true colors.
"Who... the hell are you?"
"Can't you tell? I'm Lee Seolgi. Kim Yongchan's one and only childhood friend. The girl who used to drool all over herself just looking at you."
Of course, that body was definitely Seolgi's.
All my senses were screaming that the woman in front of me was Seolgi.
Even if her outfit was off, even if her vibe was weird—that was unmistakably her.
But...
My soul was rejecting every bit of it.
So...
Who the fuck...
"Who the fuck are you?!"
I shouted at the thing possessing Seolgi's body, mimicking her.
In response, the "someone" who'd been acting just like Seolgi until now...
"You're hurting my feelings~."
"!!"
Guess she wasn't even bothering to hide it anymore.
She casually flung the helmet she'd been wearing like a stern mask over her shoulder and turned back to face me.
"What..."
Between those crimson irises gleamed vertically slit serpent pupils.
The eyes of a beast that could freeze prey in an instant.
That was when I finally came face-to-face with the real mastermind inside Seolgi.
"How'd you know?"
"Because... no matter how I looked at it, you weren't Seolgi."
"Heh heh heh. I figured a pair of virgins who'd never had sex would be easy to fool, but you two have done everything but sex, huh?"
Yeah... pretty much.
We'd avoided full-on sex out of fear of pregnancy, but we'd tried pretty much everything else.
As I nodded, Branch Chief Im Eonnyeon—who'd been watching the situation from behind me the whole time—
Seemed to prepare some massive technique the instant I noticed.
But...
"You there, human in the back. Don't move."
"Why the hell should I listen to you?"
"Because if you don't, I'll drop every single one of those things floating up there right now."
The national forces up in the sky who'd come to surround the Supreme Lee Clan but ended up bringing their own iron gear for a reverse tourist trap.
With thousands of them as hostages, even the Hunter Association's branch chief couldn't stomach the sacrifice.
Branch Chief Im Eonnyeon clicked her tongue and froze in place, unable to move.
"Who the hell are you?"
"My name is Yeongno."
"Yeongno...?"
"Y-Yeongno?! That legendary Imugi from East Asian mythology?"
"Imugi, huh... Well, yeah, that's the category, but I'm an Imugi that devours dragons, so don't lump me in with your average Imugi."
The moment we learned its identity, a shocked gasp escaped the immobilized Branch Chief Im Eonnyeon's lips.
Was it that big a deal?
"Branch Chief Im Eonnyeon, do you know something about this thing?"
"...The 'Abyss Queen.'"
"Abyss Queen?"
"Yes. Also known as the 'God of Serpents.' Records say it was a monster so massive it once wrapped its body around the entire East Asian continent."
"Th-that big?"
No way—a monster infamous across all of East Asia.
That meant at least upper floors... no, deep floors level.
And the fact that a mere beast got the title "Queen" told me everything.
Yeongno inside Seolgi's body right now.
This wasn't your average monster.
...Still, I had to do what needed doing.
"So how do we get that thing out of Seolgi's body?"
"Wh-what?!"
"Oh?"
I couldn't let some monster keep using that body forever.
If Branch Chief Im Eonnyeon couldn't move, then I'd charge in myself and drag Seolgi back somehow.
"It's impossible, Yongchan! That's a legendary monster! At your current level, it'll kill you in seconds!"
"She's right. You look like you've been around the block a bit, but at your level, Kim Yongchan, you can't even reach my toes."
Right, yeah.
If we're talking raw stats, I'd lose a hundred times over.
A thousand, ten thousand—no matter how many times I threw myself at it, I couldn't beat that monster.
But I didn't need to beat Yeongno.
I just needed to save Seolgi.
Because the body I was about to fight was none other than hers.
"If there's anyone in this world who knows that body second-best to Seolgi herself, it's me."
"...What are you trying to say?"
"Simple. Seolgi would never kill me. Because she loves me."
With that...
Armament ON
Full-body suit from the future world—uncontrollable even by Seolgi's power.
"...Can't control it, huh?"
"Told you. I'm the one who knows that body second-best to Seolgi in this world!"
When we were kids playing with Seolgi, we'd often bathe together.
Back then, we were so innocent—we even knew each other's moles by heart.
"Where do you think you're—"
"F-Fast?!"
"You think you can control her body when you don't even know she has moles between her tits and under her asshole?"
That's right.
This thing wasn't Seolgi.
And knowing Seolgi's personality, even if it meant breaking her own body...
"I hate being controlled!"
She'd rather die than bow to anyone.
That was the Lee Seolgi I knew, so to rip my childhood friend away from this monster...
Thwack.
"?!"
I entered bullet time with my fist.
And drove that strike straight into the inverted world's women's weak spot.
The uterine cover flesh just below the groin and between the breasts—the lower abdomen.
But...
"Hmph! That's all you got, Kim Yongchan?!"
She'd been calling my name oddly for a bit now—had she merged with Seolgi and absorbed her memories too?
Yeongno flashed a more wicked grin than Seolgi ever could and vulgarly pointed between her legs.
"You thought a puny fist like that could make my pussy juice flow?"
"Tch!"
"That little hit of yours isn't even as good as the self gut-punches I give myself sometimes."
As expected of the Queen of Pussies...
Er, no—the God of Serpents.
To think a bullet-time strike wouldn't land at all.
It was a blow mixing Technique 10 and Strength 5—enough to shatter a road roller.
But I couldn't give up.
Besides, I still had my advantages.
'Seolgi's power manipulates nearby iron. But the weapon I'm wearing now doesn't seem to be Earth iron, so she can't control it.'
The Supreme Lee Clan estate was all traditional hanok—wooden, no usable iron around.
And using the gear up top? If she dropped it all, Branch Chief Im Eonnyeon would judge the hostages unsavable and jump in.
Right now, she was buck naked.
In sex terms, it was like she'd spread her pussy lips wide open herself, ready to get pounded.
My first strike had just been a limp dick that couldn't even tear the hymen.
I'd never planned to make a girl cum from the first caress anyway.
Taking a woman to climax takes time.
And I had all the time in the world...
"World-severing..." "?" "...Slash."
⟨ Severing Slash ⟩
Shlick.
"Gahk?!"
What the—
What just happened?
"Y-Yongchan!!"
Branch Chief Im Eonnyeon's voice shouted from behind me.
At the same time, my entire left upper body felt strangely cold, and half my helmet-obscured vision had vanished.
That's right.
Half my body had been diagonally sliced clean off.
Thud.
"Wh-what the hell is this...!"
"What else? My ability."
"!!"
"Huh? What's with that look? Don't tell me, Kim Yongchan... You thought I was just some parasite clinging to this girl's power?"
The strike that hit me was Yeongno's unique ability.
Flesh torn, bones severed.
As I collapsed, blood pooled from my mouth, spreading beneath me.
And one eye was gone—couldn't see a thing from it.
A completely unexpected counterattack.
Panicking, I looked back at her.
"...But why?"
She was the attacker.
Yet Yeongno looked more flustered than me, sweating bullets.
"Why couldn't I bisect a single human male in one hit?"
"!!"
"I was gonna slice off your limbs and turn you into my personal dick case."
Oh.
Yeah, that made sense.
She was the legendary monster that even shocked S-rank hunter Branch Chief Im Eonnyeon.
It didn't add up that a surprise attack from her hadn't killed a nobody like me.
And that's when I realized.
"Seolgi..."
"Kuh?!"
"S-Seolgi! You're still in there... aren't you?!"
"Kim... Yongchan...!"
She was still in there.
Merged with Yeongno or not, Seolgi hadn't lost control of her body entirely.
The moment she saw me, she'd resisted in her own way.
To keep me from becoming Yeongno's living flesh dildo!
Then I'd keep pushing forward endlessly.
"Levi, remember when I took Miran's anal virginity?"
"I haven't claimed those points yet. Use them to buy me one skill."
A woman who wanted my dick so bad she was ready to chop off my limbs.
To go all the way with a woman like that, there was only one skill for the job.
"Healing Factor."
"Yeah, that. Miran can take the anal payment instead."
And just like that, I charged headlong into the merciless incoming slashes—like a virgin cock ripping through a hymen.
