The Soul's Sanctuary
My body feels hazy. Like I've been drugged, every limb heavy and sluggish. I force my consciousness awake by circulating mana through my drowsy form, and my eyes finally focus on the dull, dark walls around me.
'Where the hell…'
A cavern. One of those gloomy underground chambers you see all the time inside dungeons.
'Fuck. What the actual hell happened?'
It had all been too sudden. I'd been distracted by the Soul's Sanctuary, and my reaction was delayed. Or rather, it wasn't exactly distraction.
'My mind was shaken.'
That ice skill. 'Was it Lee Seol?'
The activation speed seemed fast, but I'd noticed it too late to gauge it properly.
'For now, let's assess the situation.'
I focused mana into my ears. Voices from beyond the wall tickled against my hearing.
The Orb of Prophecy. An artifact passed around within the Demon Sect that randomly reveals information helpful to the Witches. Of course, it's not always accurate. It gets it wrong ninety times out of a hundred.
'But…'
Sacrifice? That was a new term to me.
Whether I made noise or not, the bastards kept talking.
The Demon Sect is made up of dozens of independent cells. Their sizes range from a single person to several hundred. From the number of voices I could hear, there seemed to be about five of them.
At this level, as long as none of them were A-rank or B-rank, I could handle them. Besides, from the voices, it didn't sound like Lee Seol was here either.
Clank.
Both my arms and legs were chained to the wall. And on my wrist was an ability-suppressing bracelet. Similar to the one Kim Seongho had used.
But.
'It's meaningless in front of Equivalent Exchange.'
I could break free and escape right now, but I decided to wait a little longer just in case. They seemed to be throwing a drinking party over there. If I waited a bit more, they'd probably pass out from the alcohol.
My prediction hit the mark perfectly.
The murmuring voices gradually died down. I could even hear faint snoring, so it looked like the party had pretty much wrapped up.
'Time to get out of here.'
I was about to activate Equivalent Exchange when—
Click. Click.
The familiar sound of high heels. It was the same sound I'd heard when I was trapped in the ice.
I quickly pretended to be unconscious again, cracking my eyes open just enough to look. And the moment I saw her—
'Why the hell is she here…!'
Jung Yoonah. A-rank. A famous thirty-something ice sorceress in the industry. Her skills were one thing, but as a glamorous MILF in her thirties, she'd had countless men chasing after her.
And that woman was…
'Part of the Demon Sect…'
Until my regression, she'd lived as an ordinary hunter, so the shock hit me pretty hard. But the bigger problem was that right now, I couldn't beat her.
The odds of escaping were slim. Way too slim.
I clicked my tongue internally, but then—
Suddenly, she started taking off her clothes right in front of me.
'…?'
What? Was she changing?
But my assumption was proven wrong when her hands moved to strip my clothes instead.
"A sacrifice, huh… I wonder what you taste like…"
"…!"
Only then did a certain rumor flash through my mind.
'They say the reason Jung Yoonah never got married is because she's been sleeping around with every man she meets?'
'No way.'
Back then I'd dismissed it as a vicious rumor someone had spread, but seeing what this bitch was doing now…
"Slurp. A twenty-year-old boy, and a sacrifice that the Witches themselves covet. Looks like I'm going to have a proper feast today."
It was undeniable. And just then, a good plan came to mind.
A plan to send this bitch straight to heaven.
Kwaaaaaang!
Hundreds of chains collided with hundreds of spells. The sheer force turned the trees and forest inside the dungeon into ash. A battle beyond human limits. As beings of a completely different caliber clashed, the dungeon itself began to shake.
Yu Chel took a small breath and smiled at the being before her.
"Is the seal still not fully released? Your presence is impressive, but your power doesn't quite match it, does it?"
"……."
"Or is it because you've moved away from Seonghyun?"
"……."
Even at Yu Chel's words that struck right at the heart of the matter, the Witch remained silent.
Contrary to Yu Chel's expectation that she would be miserably defeated, the two continued a surprisingly even fight.
But even then, it was only barely that Yu Chel was holding on.
A small screen floating in the air was broadcasting the sight of Lee Seonghyun chained inside the cavern. The Witch had suddenly reduced her attacks and seemed to be contacting someone, so Yu Chel had quickly summoned the screen—only to see that Lee Seonghyun had been captured by the Demon Sect.
'This won't do.'
No matter how many attacks she poured out, the Witch simply brushed them off with ease. Rather than dragging this out, she needed to try something else.
"I know what you're worried about."
"……."
"If Seonghyun learns about the past, he'll fall into despair. But he's stronger than you think."
"So let's make a bet. If Seonghyun's mind breaks, not only will I stop interfering with you from now on, I'll even help you achieve your goal."
A mana contract. And not just any—a contract staked on a Dragon Heart. For the first time, a small light flickered in the Witch's eyes.
If the dragon who had so annoyingly obstructed them in the previous round joined their side, the Witch's plan would become that much more perfect.
But.
"Why are you trying to help Seonghyun so much?"
At the Witch's question, Yu Chel smiled bitterly.
"If you saw this, anyone would want to help him."
Shrrrk.
My pants and underwear were pulled down, and my previously cramped lower half felt refreshingly cool. Jung Yoonah looked at my still-flaccid member with my head bowed and let out a small laugh.
"Still not awake yet? How cute."
She fiddled with the area around my glans.
'Mm.'
The subtle stimulation almost made me react. When my cock still wouldn't harden no matter how much she stimulated it, Jung Yoonah poured something onto her hand and gently stroked my shaft. Just like using lube.
She applied it thoroughly, not missing a single spot.
'Isn't this an aphrodisiac?'
The moist, viscous texture was exactly like an aphrodisiac. Sure enough, my cock gradually began to grow hot. Against my will, it slowly started to rise.
At the sight, she said,
"Thickness and length pass. Hardness… yeah, young guys really are the best."
The sound of her licking her lips while smiling sent chills across my body.
Whether I trembled or not, she rubbed something against my cock. A soft mound of flesh. It was her pussy.
"Mmm…"
Schlurp.
Along with a slippery sensation, my cock slid into her pussy. The sticky interior wrapped around me.
"Haaung… this is it…! I've been dying to taste this hard skewer!"
She turned her back to me and started shaking her hips. Each time she did, my cock mercilessly pierced deep inside her pussy.
"Haa… haa! Haaung!"
Her voluptuous ass. The perfectly curved waistline and the erector spinae muscles. That dreamlike combination made my cock twitch.
"Ugh! It's getting even bigger! All the way inside! Hauk! It's reaching so deep!"
'Ah, fuck, I really want to pound her.'
I wanted to grab those hips that were letting out such lewd moans and thrust into her roughly. Whether she knew my feelings or not, this woman was freely unleashing her seductive charm.
"Haang! Deeper! Even deeper~!"
Even though her comrades were sleeping right beside us, her moans showed no restraint.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
With the powerful physical ability befitting an A-rank hunter, the way she shook her hips brought pleasure that was no joke. From the tip of my glans to the base. The supreme ecstasy of her pussy squeezing my cock tight one moment and releasing the next.
Especially—
"Haak! Haang! Right there! Scratch it! Right there~!"
The way she shook her waist in an S-curve while slamming down was exquisite.
'This bitch is seriously a man-eating monster.'
She must've ridden so many cocks to be able to control her vaginal pressure so freely. As I unconsciously started to thrust up a little, Jung Yoonah's body began to tremble.
A light orgasm. And her lewd writhing only grew stronger as time passed.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
At that terrifying speed, I finally started to feel my own climax approaching. The urge to cum was almost unbearable. I clenched my asshole and held it back desperately. Then the opponent reached her limit first.
"Haaauuuk! It's coming! It's coming~!"
Whoosh!
Her love juices burst out refreshingly. At the same time, the semen that had gathered in my cock vigorously pounded against the inside of her pussy.
And at the very last moment—
'Now!'
Thunder God. I poured electric current into my cock along with my semen.
"Khaaaaaaaaang!"
With a bizarre scream, her pussy squeezed down like crazy. My cock had no choice but to pump out even more semen into the milking machine that was her cunt.
"……."
Perhaps because of how strong Thunder God's power had been, Jung Yoonah slumped over limply.
"Whew… somehow it worked."
I'd considered covering her mouth just in case, but since she screamed like that and no one woke up, it should be fine.
After cutting off Jung Yoonah's breath with Thunder God, I headed to the next room. Four people—two men and two women—were sprawled across the floor. And on one side lay the Soul's Sanctuary and Eve.
Luckily, they hadn't abandoned them.
I pulled out Eve, quickly killed the four of them, and gathered the corpses in one place. After roughly cleaning up, I returned to the cavern where I'd first opened my eyes and set down the Soul's Sanctuary.
'But how the hell do I open this thing?'
I knew it only worked if the soul inside permitted it, but since I'd never used it before, I had no idea how.
I figured I'd just try touching it. I carefully placed my hand on the crystal, and—
Oooong.
Smoke began to pour out. Soon the smoke took on a human shape, forming a clear silhouette.
A familiar figure. A face I could never forget even if I tried.
"Noona…!"
"This body! Finally resurrected!"
Our silly older sister had appeared as a ghost.
