Chapter Title: 99. Fight Me and Win, and I'll Let You Quit Being My Slave lol
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Take it off."
She glares at me with a face drained of color, then suddenly crosses her arms with an arrogant expression and speaks.
"I may have become a slave, but that doesn't mean I'm some kind of servant who obeys your every command."
"What a filthy, lowly human order."
She scoffs at me like she's above it all, looking triumphant after landing a verbal hit that clearly boosted her ego. Even though she's shorter than me, she tilts her chin back as if looking down on me.
Her pose is straight out of a novel or manga—the perfect picture of a haughty villainess. For some reason, it makes me want to laugh.
Well... we didn't even sign a contract, and I never expected her to actually strip in a place like this anyway.
Besides, I didn't want to show off the naked body of the woman who's now mine to everyone else.
Especially not after seeing a few guys get excited at my command, only to look disappointed when Ellosia ignored it...
"Then I guess I need to give you an order more fitting for a slave."
I step up to Ellosia, grab her arrogantly lifted chin with my hand, and say it while flashing a wicked grin. For some reason, a chill runs down her spine as she looks at Inhyeok gripping her jaw.
"Eek...! D-Dragon!"
Outside Delgarn's underground city, a jet-black dragon dark enough to blot out the sun flaps its massive wings as it soars through the sky.
Countless people tremble in fear or fall into chaos at the sight of the obsidian dragon, wondering if it might attack them. But the dragon itself is just overwhelmed with stress, its mind going blank like its pitch-black scales.
It never imagined in its life that it'd carry humans and an elf on its back like some horse, with its new master chattering excitedly the whole time.
"Ellosia, fly straight. Why are you shaking so much?"
"Guh... Just endure it...!"
"Hey... watch the informal speech!"
"...Yes, sir..."
Fixing that attitude of hers—always slipping into casual speech and trying to look down on me whenever she gets a chance—is going to take a while.
Back at Delgarn's central square, I brought Ellosia and Aruen out and ordered Ellosia to carry us to some deserted spot with no people around. She looked humiliated, sure, but compared to stripping in front of everyone, this was a much milder command. So she loaded us up without much fuss and cleaved through the skies.
I ignore Ellosia grumbling under her breath and keep kneading Aruen's tits, savoring the thrill of being a dragon rider.
"Ah♡... But Master, where are we headed?"
As I pinch and play with her sunken nipples until they pop out erect and stiff, poking visibly through her clothes, Aruen asks me.
"A deserted place with no people."
"Why go there all of a sudden... haang♡... hot♡..."
"Gotta fight Ellosia."
"Eung♡... Why fight the dragon all of a sudden... ah♡... ah♡!"
At the mention of fighting, Aruen tilts her head in confusion, so I squeeze her perky-nippled breasts even harder. If you're pissed, don't nitpick my words—just get turned on and enjoy it like a good girl!
"There's a reason for everything."
I'd chatted with Ruane a few times before about dragons in general.
She said dragons have a perfectly rigid hierarchy among their own kind. Weak dragons can't defy the strong ones. Stuff like that.
It's because of their weird trait of following superiors they deem unworthy of their great race—though it's not exclusive to dragons; some even serve exceptional powerhouses from other species.
But dragons wield their unique dragon-tongue magic and are born with stats across the board that crush any other race. Unless you're some freak exception like Iris, beating a dragon is basically impossible, or so she said.
After those talks, I figured dragons might just be a race specialized for masochism—females who submit to and serve those stronger than them.
I never dreamed I'd end up enslaving one myself, so I brushed it off as idle chit-chat...
But now, I'm using that dragon trait Ruane mentioned to make Ellosia—who doesn't truly see me as her master—desperately want to serve me as her one true lord.
That's why I'm picking a fight with her.
Looking at Ellosia, you can tell at a glance she's strong... but for some reason, I don't get the sense that I'd lose if we fought.
-Thud!
We arrive at a mountain peak pretty far from uninhabited Delgarn. Ellosia slowly folds her massive wings and lands on the ground.
"We're here. Get off already."
I'd asked her to bring us to a place with no people, and she did... but she has no clue why we're suddenly here.
Feeling awkward in her giant dragon form on the mountain, she casts polymorph magic to shift back to human. She frowns at the human and elf stretching comfortably after riding easy on her back.
Then the human calls out to her.
"Ellosia."
"Sigh... why do you call?"
"You have no intention of following me body and soul, do you?"
Is he seriously asking that now? The great her devoting her heart to a mere human? Not even if she died and came back to life.
"You're asking the obvious. I'm only keeping my word. I have zero intention of truly serving a human like you."
"Then what if I fight you and win?"
"What...?"
"If I beat you, could you truly follow me?"
Hearing the human say he'd fight and beat her, Ellosia almost lets out an incredulous laugh.
He seemed pretty strong for a human last time, but dragons rely more on dragon-tongue magic and overwhelming mana than raw power. She figures that's why he's acting so cocky about a strength contest. Then the thought of escaping slavery pops into her head, and she smiles as she responds to Inhyeok.
"If you beat me, sure, I could truly follow. Is that why you dragged us to this empty place—to fight me right now?"
"Yeah."
"I don't know what makes you think you can challenge a dragon, but fine. One condition, though."
"What condition?"
"If I win, you end this slavery business. That's the price for this body deigning to fight you."
I could just keep using her as a slave without fighting, but seeing her challenge me like this, she'll definitely accept any terms.
"Mm... fine. If you win, you're free from being my slave."
Just as Ellosia predicted, Inhyeok accepts her condition readily. She keeps a straight face, but inside, she's practically jumping for joy.
"But in exchange for accepting that, if I win, you truly follow me and obey any order without refusal. Sound good?"
"Doesn't matter."
Inhyeok counters with his own condition, but Ellosia doesn't even consider the idea of losing to a human, no matter the terms. She accepts instantly and shifts into battle stance.
Without any signal or call to start, Ellosia readies for combat. Seeing that, Inhyeok matches her and prepares to fight.
"Aruen, stay back a bit."
"Don't lose, Master."
"I won't, so don't worry—just cheer me on."
At the cheer request, she comes over, grabs my hand and presses it to her lower belly, then whispers in my ear.
"If... if you win, as a reward, I'll definitely get pregnant with your child...♡"
Aruen plants a light kiss on my cheek with a mwah♥, then runs off far enough not to interfere with my fight against Ellosia.
With cheering like that... I couldn't lose even if I tried...!!!
No idea where she learned it, but getting me all riled up right before a fight... My dick's rock-hard in my pants.
They say the right amount of excitement is good for battle—is this the right kind?
Aruen's pretty far off now; should be fine to fight. I lock eyes with Ellosia's sharp pupils and say it.
"Then... let's begin, Ellosia."
-Shoooaaa!
Like she was waiting for my words, Ellosia unleashes a barrage of spells. Is it because she's dead set on winning? I figured she'd act all superior and make me attack first, but she's taking this seriously.
I can see the mana flows, so it's obvious where every spell is aimed.
I dodge them effortlessly, then close in fast. She keeps backing away and firing magic as I charge, but I evade it all and finally reach her, lunging to grab hold—
-Rooooaaar!
"Tch...!"
"Groooaaaarrr!"
-Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
She dispels the polymorph on herself, reverts to her massive jet-black dragon form, roars at me, and charges right back—instead of me tackling her, she's body-slamming toward me.
