At the End of the Dream (3)
At the End of the Dream (3)
The sight of the goddess being helplessly toyed with before my eyes disappeared.
All around was nothing but white mist, with nothing else visible.
Melanie realized she had fallen into a dream.
"How truly blasphemous. I too always resented the god I served, but I never once thought of repaying them in such an ugly manner."
"Ugh...! W-well...!"
But that's only because you've never experienced what I have, right?
Melanie tried to speak but clenched her teeth and stopped.
Hilda wouldn't care about Melanie's circumstances, and if Hilda were to take offense, things might become troublesome.
"Huhu. The sight of you suppressing your emotions like that and hurting your own heart is truly a delicacy to me."
"Kuh...! Th-that aside! Take this out now! I'm awake!"
Melanie was referring to Hilda's massive member that was filling her stomach.
Saintess Hilda had been holding Melanie's arms from behind while inserted inside her.
Perhaps she had cast a strengthening spell, as the abnormally enlarged rod was crushing her uterus.
"Ah, this? This wasn't inserted to wake you up."
Hilda held out a golden holy artifact for Melanie to see.
It was <Dawn>, a sacred artifact that prevents one from falling asleep.
"Th-then why is this inserted..."
Fwuuck!♥
"Ooook♡"
Melanie's eyes rolled back halfway and her tongue lolled out.
With just one thrust of the hips, her cervix felt like it would be crushed.
"Why, it's simply because there was a perfectly fitting <scabbard> right before my eyes on the way, so I inserted the ♥"
"Ugh... O-okay. Then finish quickly and let's go......"
Of course, Melanie wanted to say they should stop this nonsense immediately and go.
But even her resisting would merely be entertainment for Hilda.
So she decided to endure it quietly.
"No. Let's depart like this."
"What? How in this state..."
"I wonder why this <scabbard> is so talkative."
Fwuuck!♥
"Unggh♡"
Hilda thrust her hips forward, slapping Melanie's buttocks and making her take a step forward.
"No one walks around recklessly with their sword drawn. You must sheathe it and carry it properly."
"Aah, okayyy...♡"
Melanie trembled violently from the glans deep-kissing her cervix as she barely managed to walk.
"Haaht, haaht...♡"
With her uterus crushed and insides mashed, even a short walk made breathing difficult.
Yet seeing her suppress her complaints and walk silently, Hilda felt a sense of conquest and smiled contentedly.
"Haaah...♡ B-but... is this the right direction...?"
"Yes. If we continue, you'll see your comrades."
"Ah, okay... Ugh...♡"
Falling asleep and dreaming due to Acedia's ability was something she'd seen when doing Sephemo too.
It was also part of the boss monster Acedia's attack patterns.
She thought it was no different from regular sleep except for not being able to wake up, but Avaritia had informed her of a setting even Melanie didn't know.
'Acedia doesn't simply make people dream. She traps others' minds in Acedia's Mental World. So theoretically, those caught in Acedia's power can meet within that mental world.'
Of course, this was normally impossible since people couldn't escape their dreams.
Unless they were a saintess with a sacred artifact.
"Haaak...♡ Haak...♡"
Melanie, physically exhausted, dripped with sweat.
Her legs felt weak and shaky, as if her knees might buckle to the ground at any moment.
"Would you like to rest?"
"Ah, nooo♡ I can go...♡"
"I'd like to rest a bit. ♥"
"What?!"
Bbrrrrrrrrrrrrr——!!!!♥♥♥♥
"OHOGOOOOOOK?!♡♡♡♡"
"Kuh, ugh...♥"
Melanie's uterus was mercilessly ravaged by the sudden torrent of ejaculation.
Instantly, her lower abdomen swelled up tautly, and Melanie sprayed droplets of saliva as she screamed.
To strike at Melanie's moment of inattention and make her scream helplessly, Hilda had been holding back her moans and suppressing her pleasure the entire time.
Biting her teeth to resist the rebounding pleasure from how much she'd held back, Hilda struggled to maintain her rationality.
"Kha, hak...♡"
As the shrank in size, the <scabbard> became loose.
Spurting semen like a fountain, Melanie was pulled off Hilda's cock and fell to her knees.
Hilda composed her ragged breathing while admiring Melanie's pitiful state.
"Haak, haak♥ ......Aah♥ You've been unilaterally defiled by me once again♥ Your powerless appearance on your knees is truly pleasing to see♥"
"Haa, haa...♡"
Lost in the afterglow of climax, Melanie could only pant heavily, with no energy left to retort.
Then suddenly, she sensed the presence of other people ahead.
"We've arrived. Both of you are here."
"Lili, Pia...?"
"Aahng♥ Melanie♥ You look so hot even while vomiting blood♥"
"Huh...?"
Lili was talking to empty air where no one was.
It seemed she hadn't awakened from the dream.
Her posture looked as if she was holding someone's hair to keep them from falling while standing them up.
And she kept throwing punches into the empty air.
She seemed to be dreaming of violently punching Melanie's abdomen.
"It appears that person's sexual preference involves punching you in the stomach. She seems to want to feel the sensation of crushing your uterus from the outside through her fists."
"Sh-she's just enjoying it more intensely because it's a dream, right? She wouldn't really want to do that to me, right?"
"......That's something I cannot know."
"Melanie♥ Let's stay like this hugging all day♥"
Pia was also maintaining a pose of hugging empty air.
It didn't feel like a typical lover's embrace.
Pia's arms were bulging with tendons strengthened since her knight days.
If she hugged with that strength, the other person wouldn't even be able to breathe.
She seemed to be dreaming of hugging Melanie so tightly that her spine would break.
"Melanie♥ Your back is bending like a bow more and more?♥ Ah♥ You're foaming at the mouth♥"
Their murderous dialogue made Melanie pale with fear.
"Why are they so desperate to physically destroy me...!"
"Well, watching your body being broken apart seems to have its own charm. Perhaps next time we could also..."
"Ugh...!"
Though Hilda wasn't as physically strong as those two, she possessed many spells to strengthen her body.
She didn't want to actually be assaulted by Hilda, who already engaged in violent sex bordering on assault.
But with Hilda enjoying any reaction, it was difficult to find the right response to safely get through this.
"Aah♥ Your buttocks trembling in fear look quite appealing♥"
"Th-that's..."
"......So here you are— children disturbing my dream—"
Both turned their heads sharply toward the direction of the unfamiliar voice.
As Melanie rose to her feet, creating an unavoidable gap, Hilda stepped forward to shield her.
"Huaaaam— So you came in here— You were just sleeping peacefully—?"
Demon God Acedia stood there with a drowsy expression.
That somewhat listless appearance closely resembled the Acedia Melanie remembered from Sephemo.
"H-hey, we're, you know..."
"No need to explain— I was watching everything— You came to find me—?"
Melanie nodded.
Avaritia's hypothesis was that Demon God Acedia might have detected her own Distortion, pushed her changed self outward, and her original self deep into the mental world.
Thus, while acting like a Distortion on the surface to deceive this world, she was safely protecting her true self.
So while the two demon gods bought time dealing with Acedia, Melanie's group decided to find the real Acedia within Acedia's Mental World.
Avaritia's prediction seemed to have been correct.
"Your sisters are waiting outside. Come back with us and..."
"I don't want to—"
"......Huh?"
Acedia scratched her cheek instead of taking Melanie's outstretched hand.
"I'm not going back— I only came to tell you to leave—"
"What kind of... nonsense is that...? If you say you won't return, then I have to..."
"Have no choice but to kill you here—?"
At Acedia's question, Melanie closed her mouth.
Seeing Melanie like that, Acedia smiled faintly.
"Thanks to you entering my mental world— I could see a bit more of your memories— You originally— didn't want to change the story—?"
"W-well, that's true but..."
"I'm different from Luxuria— I won't deny— break— or defile that conviction of yours—"
"If we don't change the story, you'll die here...?"
"Yes— I choose to accept that ending—"
Acedia strode purposefully toward Melanie.
Melanie tried to step back, but Acedia grabbed her wrist first.
Then smiling peacefully, Acedia brought Melanie's hand to her own neck.
"I want to keep sleeping— right here— Please end me—"
