Chapter 422: A Selfish Night
“Do you… happen to have any clothes I could change into…?”
Having finished her shower, Melissa stood there, wrapped in nothing but a thin towel.
Water droplets trickled down from her hair, and the curves the towel failed to hide created a sensual silhouette.
It was so provocative that I couldn't help but stare.
Of course, I had more than enough clothes for her to change into.
I had enough women's clothes in my inventory to open a small boutique.
But perhaps it was because of the battle with Lavinia.
Instead of handing Melissa some clothes, I chose to slowly approach her.
“Master…?”
As I drew closer, Melissa's eyes trembled slightly. But she soon smiled softly and unwrapped the towel covering her front.
Thud-
With the sound of the damp towel falling, Melissa's pale, white skin was laid bare.
Seeing her naked body for the first time in a while, I reached out as if mesmerized and cupped her breast.
Squeeze!
“Aahn♡”
It was something I always noticed, but every woman's breasts had a subtly different feel.
How should I put it? The balance of softness and firmness varied slightly.
In that respect, Melissa's breasts boasted a softness that felt like my fingers were sinking into them.
“…Do you remember? The moon was just as beautiful that night…”
“Of course, I remember. You tried to make me your sex slave.”
“Th-that’s…”
“I'm kidding.”
I chuckled softly and kissed Melissa.
Her lips were moist, probably because she had just washed up.
Mmph, slurp, smooch… chhp…♡
Without any signal, we naturally began to tangle our tongues.
The intense heat made my head feel a little hazy.
I pulled Melissa's waist closer and grabbed her large ass, which was just as impressive as her chest.
It wasn't as soft as her breasts, but it was incredibly firm.
“Hah, haah… Mmph… Mmph…”
A faint moan escaped from between her forced-open lips.
Every time my eyes met Melissa's, which were filled with a fiery passion, I inwardly lamented.
It was because the brainwashing on Melissa hadn't been lifted, even after I killed Lavinia.
It must have happened too long ago, because I couldn't find the method used to brainwash Melissa even in Lavinia's memories.
For now, I could only vaguely guess that some means other than a demon's authority had been used.
But I wasn't too worried.
I could already think of about ten ways to break the brainwashing.
In fact, what was more important was what to do with Melissa.
Thump-
“Ah… Master…♡”
After laying Melissa on the bed, I buried my face in the nape of her neck.
'Inhale, haah...'
The stimulating scent of her skin, something no perfume could ever imitate, felt good for a moment, but a corner of my mind grew complicated.
It goes without saying, but Melissa is a black magician.
Not only that, she was part of Malefis, a group of fanatics plotting the resurrection of an evil god. Whether it was of her own free will or not, I didn't know.
In any case, while she was part of that group, could she really have committed no sins?
Fortunately, judging by her low level of accomplishment, it didn't seem like she had built up her power by sacrificing people like Sefran.
But considering what happened at the Hessler Viscounty, I couldn't be certain she had never killed anyone.
Besides, being brainwashed wasn't a get-out-of-jail-free card.
'Hoo...'
My chest felt tight for no reason.
Should I keep Melissa, or should I let her go?
No matter how much I thought about it, an answer didn't come easily.
Objectively speaking, Malefis not only sacrificed tens of thousands of lives to create an artificial elixir but also caused a drought to swallow the Orsia Duchy. Furthermore, they incited a rebellion, plunging the entire nation into chaos.
They were an absolute evil that no one could deny.
And although she might not have been involved in everything, Melissa had also taken part in their evil deeds.
In Lavinia's memories, she was clearly acting on orders.
Therefore, Melissa also had to pay for her sins.
But despite that, I didn't want to do it.
Even if I were to be called selfish, I wanted to keep Melissa.
Slick, squish-
“Haah, aht, aaht…!♡”
From my light caresses, a series of heated breaths and moans escaped Melissa's lips.
Her face was flushed as she looked up at me, her eyes filled with nothing but anticipation.
I grabbed my hardened dick and rubbed it against Melissa's vulva, stroking it lightly.
Slurp, slurp♡
“Hngh, heu-eut, eut…!♡ M-Master…♡”
Her pitiful voice calling out to me made my dick throb with power.
Her pussy opening gaped as if begging to be fucked, and I pressed the head of my dick firmly against it while slowly pushing my hips forward.
“Ugh, eu-eut…?!!♡”
“Hoo…”
I had experienced it many times before, but the sensation of forcibly stretching a woman's pussy with my dick was addictively indescribable.
Splurt, splurt-
I leisurely rocked my hips while kneading Melissa's breasts with both hands.
The sight of her pale breasts being mashed and molded by my hands was another kind of pleasure.
“Hauk, aht, a-eut…!!♡”
Perhaps due to my pheromones, Melissa already wore a half-dazed expression.
The sight of her, drenched in sweat and completely disheveled, made my own hips ache with desire.
Thanks to that, the last of my precarious patience ran out.
Slap, slap!!
“Haang, ang, aaang!!♡ Master, Master, Maaas-ter…!!♡”
Every time the head of my dick struck her cervix, Melissa's hips trembled delicately.
It was a sign of her impending climax.
Soon, the bedsheets were soaked with her love juice, but I didn't stop.
“Hauk, eu-eut, heu-euk…!!♡ W-wait…!!♡”
Ignoring Melissa's pleas to stop, I continued to thrust my hips without rest.
As if realizing she couldn't escape me, her pussy tightened even more.
Seeing her trying with all her might to squeeze out my semen, a sadistic urge began to creep up from a corner of my heart.
I enjoyed her reactions, leaving red marks all over her body and pinching her bright red, swollen nipples.
Her reaction was most intense when I tormented her clit while rubbing her G-spot.
After changing positions, we fucked like animals in heat, losing all track of time.
“H-heuk, aht, ahk…!!♡ M-Master… p-please, slow down…!!♡”
Truthfully, Melissa's pussy was on the shorter side.
My dick would reach her cervix when it was only about halfway in.
But this time was different.
I forcibly shoved my dick in all the way, pressing the head against her cervix as if to lift her entire uterus.
Then, the moment the urge to cum reached its limit.
Spurt, splurt, spluuurt-
“...?!!!♡♡”
With the determination not to spill a single drop, I poured out all the semen I had been holding in.
As I continued to cum, Melissa let out a scream-like moan and her body shuddered violently.
It was a natural reaction.
I had only come once, but Melissa had climaxed more than ten times.
It was amazing she hadn't passed out until now.
But as if she had finally reached her limit, Melissa lost consciousness and collapsed.
It was a bit disappointing for me, having only come once, but thanks to it, my head felt much clearer.
And finally, I was certain.
'I won't abandon Melissa.'
I firmed my resolve while kneading the unconscious Melissa's breast.
Of course, that didn't mean I would turn a blind eye to the sins she committed.
I don't know the laws of this world in detail, but as a member of Malefis, Melissa would likely be sent to a religious tribunal and sentenced to death.
But rather than that kind of punishment, I wanted to give Melissa a chance to atone for her own sins.
'Of course, I'll have to hide this from the others.'
Iris, Sylvia, and Amelia.
All three of them harbor a deep hostility towards black magicians, especially Malefis.
In that situation, even with Amelia staying behind in the duchy, it would be impossible to bring Melissa along on the journey to the Santala Kingdom.
'It's a bit risky, but I'll have to ask her to act as a spy within Malefis.'
I felt my heart might weaken, but in truth, that was the only way she could truly pay for her sins.
“Melissa.”
“Euh, eu-eut…”
“…It’s no use.”
This was the only time I had to talk about the future, but she showed no signs of waking up, probably because I had been too rough.
“Can’t be helped.”
It was also my fault for tormenting her for hours without rest, so I had no choice but to let her be for a while.
Thump.
I sat on the edge of the bed and took out the Heaven-Shattering Demonic Sword.
It seemed to be in a good mood from being full, as the hilt didn't feel as rough as usual when I gripped it.
“…Is this thing a pet?”
It was absurd.
Still, the way it grew every time I fed it was kind of like a Tamagotchi.
The downside, of course, was that it was a bomb that might go off once it finished growing.
Anyway, I succeeded in storing the demonic energy I absorbed from Lavinia in my dantian.
However, since Tam had eaten quite a bit and I had filtered out the impurities, the absolute amount wasn't that large.
Still, it was an undeniable fact that my internal energy had increased.
'While I'm at it, it would be nice to learn another useful demonic art...'
The Blood Flame Asura Demonic Art was certainly an excellent demonic art, but compared to the Crimson Cloud Thunder Art, it felt like a poor match for me.
Perhaps that's why, unlike the Crimson Cloud Thunder Art which had already reached 8-Star, the Blood Flame Asura Demonic Art was still stuck at 6-Star.
After browsing the shop for a while, I swiped the screen away.
As expected, there were no demonic arts in the shop.
“Well… even if there was something worth buying, that would be a problem in itself.”
With the shop's prices having risen across the board, a martial arts manual of Epic grade or higher was nothing but a pipe dream with the 7,000 coins I had.
I'd need at least 15,000 coins.
I dismissed the screen showing my pathetic balance and brought up another one.
Tiring-
[Tam (Greed) has absorbed Lulucia's residual demonic energy.]
[Tam's growth rate has increased significantly.]
[An undigested fragment of the Great Demon has been absorbed by the user.]
When I first saw this screen, I was just dumbfounded.
An undigested fragment of the Great Demon.
Anyone could see it meant the leftovers Tam couldn't finish.
“…Should I just throw it into a furnace?”
I glared at the Heaven-Shattering Demonic Sword with killing intent.
Tiring-
[The Heaven-Shattering Demonic Sword insists that such violent behavior is improper.]
Seeing the sword tremble, a dry laugh escaped my lips.
I wonder how long it's going to insist it's a sword.
It seems like it plans to hide its true nature until it's done growing, just like a young animal in the wild.
'Well… I did get something out of it, so maybe I'll let it slide this time?'
Tiring-
[The fragment of Bireciel has successfully absorbed the fragment of Lulucia.]
[The growth rate of the 'Mystic Eye of Time' has increased significantly.]
The growth rate increased, not the proficiency.
I wasn't sure what that meant, but I saw a glimmer of hope in it.
If I could just raise the grade of the Mystic Eye, wouldn't the burning pain that comes with using it disappear?
That was the reason I didn't use the Mystic Eye, despite its overpowered ability to see a short glimpse of the future.
“Anyway, the fact that one fragment absorbed another means I'll have to catch other Malefis executives… hmm?”
Just as I was lost in thought, kneading Melissa's ass…
I felt a familiar presence from the hallway.
It was Amelia.
'What's going on?'
I quickly got dressed and opened the door.
At that moment, my eyes met with Amelia's, who was walking this way.
“H-Hyun-woo?”
Amelia's eyes widened in surprise.
I approached her with a calm smile, not forgetting to lock the door behind me.
“Can’t sleep?”
“Ah… w-well…”
Amelia hesitated for a moment, her lips trembling, before nodding with a blush.
“How about a walk, then? I just woke up myself.”
I headed to the garden with Amelia, who seemed to have a lot on her mind.
