Chapter Title: Conquering the Raid with Cheat Modes (3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Yi Hyun's declared Phase 2.
The opponent was Leraji, lost in a haze of arousal.
Facing her were...
Saleos, with one arm rendered useless.
Blanc, not even level 200.
And finally, Yi Hyun.
'Tsk, this is scarier than I thought.'
Yi Hyun swallowed dryly.
The basic goal of somehow driving her into heat had succeeded, but that was it.
The enemy's combat prowess was still fully intact.
Breaking her hymen here?
He'd have been better off inflicting a fatal wound.
No way it would be easy.
'Still, I have to make it happen somehow.'
But he didn't give up.
On the contrary, his resolve burned brighter.
The sheer bullheadedness that in the modern world would be described as "good-hearted but a bit dim."
Right here and now, it blossomed into the makings of a true hero.
"......?"
'My hymen? Why the hell would he...?'
Of course, in reality, it was far from any heroic epic.
To him, though, this was small potatoes.
With a single sigh, he charged forward once more.
-Flash!!
"Saleos, you fight up front, and Lady Blanc, hit her with that whenever there's an opening!! I'll keep that bitch pinned down so she can't fly!!!"
"Yesss♡ Master♡"
"Got it!!"
The others sprang into action simultaneously.
The boldest among them?
Saleos, with the worst of the injuries.
'Master says he's gonna pop her cherry, lucky bastard♡'
'I want it so bad too♡'
Whoosh—she sliced through the air in a charge.
Her left arm was already rotting and dangling uselessly, but
her right arm still brimmed with sharp demonic energy.
She swung it with claws packed full.
"......Hm."
'Thoughts later. First, kill off these inferior humans and that traitorous demon bitch.'
Leraji snapped out of her daze.
She lightly leaped back—
exploding demonic energy at her feet to retreat.
The difference from before? She kept her eyes trained overhead the whole time.
'Tch. Can't fly recklessly with who-knows-what coming from above!'
She even flicked a glance at Yi Hyun.
Keeping tabs on both Saleos and Yi Hyun at once.
No way she could focus like this.
She nocked an arrow to her bow, eyes darting around.
Who to target first?
"Hng..."
'Yi Hyun? Nah, too hard to hit. Sniper shot maybe, but not while Saleos is charging.'
Yi Hyun first.
Realistically, not feasible.
Hard to aim amid his barrage of sword energy blasts.
No room to prep a tracking arrow either.
Naturally, Saleos became the prime target.
'One more solid hit and she's done.'
Saleos. Not that fast to begin with, and wounded traitor to boot.
Decision made, she swiftly drew back the bowstring.
Aimed at the forehead of the enemy barreling toward her.
Nocked the arrow and loosed.
-Snap!!
"Not... getting through!!"
"...Tch."
'Blocked again. She's fighting better than expected.'
The attack fizzled out.
Because Saleos snatched the arrow mid-flight again.
Yi Hyun wondered why she was fighting so well, but
"......Hiiing♡"
'Did Master do something? She's even easier to grab now♡'
Saleos herself thought the exact opposite.
Leraji's skill had slipped.
And rightly so—what mattered most to a hunter?
That laser focus on the prey, right?
But Leraji was splitting her attention?
Overhead threats, Yi Hyun, Saleos.
Three things at once.
Her arrows would lose power, naturally.
"......Ugh."
'One hit from that and it's instant death! Can't rush in without the right opening!!'
Of course, that was high demon talk.
Yi Hyun and Blanc saw it differently.
Any human would crumple.
The impact site would explode outright.
Absolute dodge required.
That was all that crossed their minds.
Their eyes met.
'Lady Blanc, don't push yourself too hard.'
'Yi Hyun, please don't overdo it! If you die, how am I supposed to go on?!'
Worries overflowed in their gazes.
What a perfect match they made.
Of course, the distraction lasted only a split second.
-Thud thud thud thuuum!!!
"Saleos!! Keep attacking no matter what!! I'll cover you with gunfire!!"
"Yesss♡"
His assault rifle blazed repeatedly.
A rain of sword energy poured down on Leraji.
The war god's technique—minimal mana for maximum lethality.
Even Leraji couldn't underestimate it.
'That'd sting if it hit. Better dodge if possible.'
She darted her naked form swiftly.
Nocking an arrow while moving? Child's play for her.
She took aim with yet another arrow.
Target: Saleos again.
-Grip.
'Think you can keep snatching them? Have a taste.'
The ruthless hunter pulled a trick.
She packed a clump of demonic energy into the arrow's midsection.
A device like the ones she used for explosive acceleration bursts.
If Saleos grabbed it?
Unstable energy would detonate.
The arrow would split in two.
The part Saleos grabbed, and the arrowhead brimming with her authority.
Then the arrowhead fires a secondary shot.
Propelled by the blast.
Gouging Saleos's flesh.
'This'll do it.'
Not enough for full penetration, maybe.
But a scrape would suffice to trigger her "authority."
Saleos's body would rot and decay even faster.
After that, victory was hers.
'Without that bitch, mopping up the rest of these humans is like sipping cold soup.'
A triumphant smile spread across her face, but...
——Sadly, Leraji didn't know.
-Eyes widen.
'Lady Blanc, now!!'
She thought she'd dodged Yi Hyun's sword energy.
But that was exactly what he intended.
To herd her path with bullets.
And then, at her turned back.
Golden light flashed in once more.
"......?"
'What, that speedy girl again.'
Having been burned once, she sensed the presence.
But she ignored it.
Speed was all she had; no real power behind it.
She figured she'd just tank it.
...But Blanc.
This time, her hand went to her waist instead of her sword.
-Click.
"...Huh?"
A sinister sound rang out in that instant.
Glass clinking against metal.
Thought brief, action swift.
-Boom!
'No idea what it is, but it's dangerous!'
She burst demonic energy lightly to shift sideways.
A blink-like maneuver.
A technique Valram had devoted his life to mastering, which she replicated with raw talent alone.
She dodged.
She was certain of it, but
'Too slow.'
-Swoosh.
Merely her illusion.
Blanc's hand had already blurred into afterimages.
She hurled the potion vial in her grip straight at Leraji's retreating nape.
Crack—
Before she could halt, the glass shattered against her head.
A scream erupted instantly.
"Gaaah!?"
'Holy water!!'
She knew it instinctively.
This was holy water brimming with divine power.
The premium stuff, dumped right on her.
No, actually worse.
This was Minerva's brew using Lumiene's holy water—a so-called "anti-monster potion."
Healing nerfed, damage jacked up several times over.
Potent as it was...
[—I'll make it anyway, but against demons, it'll just sting a bit. Like stubbing your pinky toe on a door.]
'Yeah, not very effective.'
Blanc, already retreating after the toss.
She saw the effect plain as day with her own eyes.
The flesh reddening where the holy water hit, only to heal right back under demonic energy.
In other words, just a momentary distraction.
She hadn't expected real damage.
If it actually worked, Yi Hyun would've dropped holy water instead of his cum-stained panties, obviously.
'But...'
'This is enough, Blanc!!!'
'Not bad for a human bitch♡'
And so, seizing the opening as Leraji winced in pain.
Two figures lunged.
Saleos struck first.
-Roooar!!!
"I'll take that left arm too!!"
Demonic energy enveloped her right arm.
It swelled to lion-like proportions.
The claws at its tip raked viciously at the hunter.
Screeech—
A gash deep enough to expose bone on Leraji's left arm,
-Click.
'Bursts won't cut it. Single shot.'
And at the same moment, Yi Hyun gathered mana.
Until now, he'd fought with rapid fire, spraying mana everywhere.
Switch to single shot.
Pump in mana already pushing 9 figures, no holds barred...
'Behold, sniper rifle mode!!'
-KABOOOOOM!!!
The result etched a brilliant silver line.
Mana shoved in, ignoring efficiency.
Fired as a shot of immense power.
'Whoa... Yi Hyun, when did you learn this?'
Blanc would later say of witnessing it:
This one strike truly deserved the name ultimate technique.
And the outcome proved it.
-Slash!
"Urk!!"
The gruesome sound of flesh parting.
Sword energy pierced her right ankle.
A wound deep enough to bare bone.
Only then did Leraji snap to.
"...You prey dare!!!"
'I'll kill you, I swear!!'
Whoosh—demonic energy surged.
The air shimmered like a heat haze.
The high noble, half-joking until now.
In this moment, vowed to go all out.
'Take the foot!!'
-BOOOOM!!!
A massive demonic explosion.
A shockwave on another level erupted beneath her feet.
Splat—flesh burst apart.
Everything below the knee shredded into chunks.
It looked like self-harm, but
-Whiiiish!!
'Up to the sky first, then pick 'em off with arrows!!'
The recoil launched Leraji into hyperspeed ascent.
Like a cannon shell skyward.
Yi Hyun and Blanc freaked out.
"Sacrificing her leg for thrust!? That crazy rice cake bitch!!"
"She's taking to the air with her bow!"
"Can't let that slide—no, take her down!!"
Blurred chatter while super-accelerating.
So fast it sounded like fast-forward to Saleos.
Proof these two weren't just chatting idly without reacting,
'Won't catch her like this!'
'Guh... Summon range won't reach!!'
Even they, using super acceleration, sensed it.
Leraji was uncatchable.
The propulsion from self-harm was beyond human pursuit from the start.
Leraji would fight from the air from here on—
"Leraji, airborne!!"
"If she hovers, we're totally screwed, right!?"
"Obviously! Yi Hyun lacks the firepower, and Saleos can't fight off the ground!!"
Chaos erupted on the watching ramparts too.
Hilde covered her wolf ears, muttering "knew it."
Silpi stomped around in panic, wondering if she should shoot her bow or something.
"Yi Hyun, sir...!!"
"Hyun, please!!!"
Lumiene and Minerva too.
Watched and cried out desperately.
Praying his hand would reach.
That the hard-won edge against that demon wouldn't fly off into the sky.
'If she escapes to the air, Master and I are done for!!'
'I even grabbed the Hero statue to block flight, damn, 3 meters feels so short!?',
'She won't come down again. Can't count on demon arrogance and carelessness anymore.'
But the three on the scene.
All scowled.
Hands desperately reaching skyward.
Leraji's flesh bits raining down on them.
Twisted expressions.
"Ahahaha!!!"
'It's over!! I'll never fight on the ground again!!'
Contrasting her mad laughter.
It should've been utter despair, but...
-KABOOOOOOOOOM!!!
"——Lumiene, Minerva."
No one noticed.
While all eyes fixed beyond the ramparts.
Someone in a corner of the territory leaped with tremendous leg strength.
'I'm sorry. This is all I can do. Truly sorry.'
A woman in shabby robes.
Breasts too massive to handle jiggling...
The Hero the Imperials had scoured for.
Arielle's tear-streaked eyes widened.
'But even fallen as I am, I'll do this much. I may never see you all again. Still, I cheer for your futures.'
Flash—
Golden light bloomed before her eyes.
A massive bow materialized from empty air.
The weapon summon that once stunned everyone, including Yi Hyun.
The blessing that drew expectations just from being the Hero's.
Its original form.
Reappeared in the world after three years.
-Grip.
"Hnnng...!!"
Too huge for any but giants to wield.
She drew the string using her full body.
Feet bracing the bow, hands nocking the arrow.
Drew.
Fired.
"Haaaaah!!!"
WhiiiiiIIIIISH—!!!
A ballista-grade arrow cleaved the space.
The shockwave alone shredded the Hero's clothes.
And the mana packed within.
Carved a lightning-like trajectory across the sky.
Rumble—
Thunder truly cracked,
"Ahahat...?"
'Wait, what's that... guh!?'
SPLATTTTT—!!!
Leraji, mid-soar, took the arrow clean.
Powerlessly.
"Wha...t is..."
"Hnnn..."
And Leraji. The Hero.
Began plummeting simultaneously.
"......"
'Be happy. Minerva, Lumiene. Forget a wretch like me...'
The difference?
Nothing below the Hero.
But under Leraji,
"...What?!"
"Dunno what it was, but she's falling—score!!"
"Ah♡"
'Master after all♡ Heaven's on his side♡'
Three enemies waited.
'Take my heartfelt womb fisting!!'
"Pussy pound uppercut!!!"
Yi Hyun stood out.
Raised his hand toward the falling Leraji.
His hooked index and middle fingers aimed at her pussy.
'Gotta dodge this.'
Leraji tried to burst demonic energy again, but...
[Skills 'Arousal Pheromones,' 'Sensitivity Boost,' 'Reason Decline,' 'Heat' activate!]
'...But what would that feel like?'
The very last moment.
A split-second hesitation.
-Squelch.
"...Ah."
Seizing the gap, Yi Hyun's fingers.
Pierced her hymen.
