slam!
After slamming the door shut behind her, Sia's face began turning as red as a tomato. Starting from her ears, her cheeks flushed deeper and deeper, and even fanning herself with her hands did nothing to cool them down.
The two of them... they're going to do that, right...?
Seeing Celestina's face as she tried to do something too awkward to put into words, Sia felt her own cheeks burning hotter again.
When they first met, there definitely wasn't that kind of vibe between them. They seemed like they were just stuck together out of necessity, not a romantic pair. They got along well enough, but there was none of that boy-girl tension...
"Hoo..."
She'd been truly shocked when she realized they were sleeping together.
That night, she couldn't sleep, so she'd stepped out of her tent for some fresh air and gone over to say hi to In-hyeok, who was on night watch...
She never dreamed she'd witness them getting intimate.
Because of that, things had gotten really awkward with both the Saintess and In-hyeok oppa lately. She'd thought the tension was finally easing up...
"Now it's awkward again..."
Celestina's bold expression and body language, blatantly hinting at sex with In-hyeok, were still burned into her mind.
If they were just lovers, Sia could brush it off. But since she harbored quite a fondness for In-hyeok herself, her feelings were all tangled up right now.
She'd lost interest in guys after Min-geon's change, but that was years ago. Seeing her friends dating had sparked her interest again, right in the prime of her youth.
It was only natural to feel drawn to In-hyeok, who was handsome and treated her kindly when she arrived in this world.
Slap!
Sia slapped both her cheeks hard enough to echo through the room, then shook her head side to side to snap out of it.
I'm the Hero, after all... I can't let thoughts like this complicate things...
If she defeated the Demon King, the Goddess might reward her by sending her back to Earth. As the Hero, she needed to focus solely on getting stronger and beating the Demon King.
Her parents back on Earth... her close friends. Thinking of the people from her original world, whom she missed so dearly, she set aside her tangled emotions for now.
In-hyeok oppa and the Saintess... They hadn't spent much time together, but they were good people who guided her and Min-geon despite their shortcomings.
With renewed resolve to work hard as the Hero and take down the Demon King together, she closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
While Sia reaffirmed her determination as the Hero, the two who'd gone at it like beasts lay naked side by side on the bed.
The night had grown chilly, and Celestina was rubbing her breasts and body against In-hyeok's arm. The sight made him rock hard in an instant.
"Celestina, it's morning. Time to get up."
"Hng... Haaawn..."
As In-hyeok woke her, Celestina slowly sat up, stretching with her mouth slightly open in a yawn. Even disheveled from sleep, she looked stunning—it was almost unreal.
In front of him, she stretched without a care, her full breasts on full display. It was a far cry from just a few days ago, when she'd blush if he stared too hard.
"Sleep well?"
"Yesss... Did you sleep well too, In-hyeok-nim...?"
"With something this soft wrapped around me? Impossible not to."
Aaang...♡ Grabbing one of her breasts firmly made Celestina let out a sweet moan. Her expression and pose had turned so seductive, like she was tempting him outright—nothing like her old self.
He wanted to give in to the temptation and take her right then, but they had to head to the kingdom where the Dream Demon Queen Hill lurked. They needed to prepare early.
As he got out of bed, Celestina shot him a longing look.
"We have to prep early today—no choice."
"Ugh... Th-then, your cock looks so painful right now... Let me relieve it for you...!"
She tugged his arm, making him sit on the edge of the bed, then knelt in front of him and eyed his erection.
He thought she'd just suck it, but she spat on her breasts and enveloped his hard cock between them.
"The Saintess's tit-pussy will milk you out...♡"
Can't resist a titjob...!
Celestina gave him the paizuri he'd taught her before. Knowing how much he loved dirty talk, she called her breasts her "tit-pussy" and shook them enticingly. It was insanely hot.
Feeling the pressure of her soft tits, she gripped them and started sliding them up and down like she was extracting his semen with her tit-pussy.
Squelch♥ Squelch♥ Squelch♥ Squelch♥
Listening to the lewd sounds of her tit-pussy devouring his cock, In-hyeok enjoyed her breast service.
What was supposed to be just one quick release turned into full-on sex. Despite agreeing to meet up early, he and Celestina showed up late.
Min-geon wore his usual ambiguous expression, clearly lost in pervy fantasies about why they were late, sneaking lecherous glances at Celestina. Surprisingly, Sia didn't seem to care, her face set in intense seriousness.
Had something changed overnight?
Once all four had gathered and finished a simple breakfast, they discussed the day's plans.
"Today, we're heading to the kingdom where the Dream Demon Queen is. Time to take out some demonkin."
At the mention of demonkin, the two Heroes gulped.
Unlike regular monsters, demonkin were intelligent beings infused with demonic energy. Their strength wasn't much greater, but their intelligence, swordsmanship, and magic use made them a whole different beast.
Up until now, they'd only fought mindless bots with predictable patterns. This was real thinking opponents.
And killing intelligent beings? Demonkin might be bent on wiping out other races, but it was basically murder.
First PvP, first kill. No way they weren't tense.
"Don't worry too much. Celestina and I will back you up."
Their grim expressions softened a bit at his words.
"The Demon King... might be too much, but even if we run into the Dream Demon Queen Hill, I'll keep you alive. Fight without holding back."
And get strong enough to beat the Demon King for me.
He skipped the embarrassing last part, but both wore determined faces.
"Alright, let's move out."
"Yes!"
With their spirited replies, the group headed toward the distant kingdom, overrun by Hill's demonkin.
Psshk.
"H-human... scum...!"
Stabbing a demonkin through with his sword, black blood spilling as it wailed in indignation, In-hyeok wiped the sweat beading on his chin.
Already three hours in.
They'd taken short breaks, but the demonkin pouring endlessly from the kingdom's heart showed no mercy. Even he was getting worn out.
If he was tired, the others must be exhausted beyond words.
"Huff... huff..."
Min-geon leaned on his sword stuck in the ground like a cane, panting raggedly. Celestina looked drained from constant blessings and holy power use.
But Sia was the worst off.
Unlike Min-geon's plain fatigue, Sia's face was pale like she was sick. Slicing demonkin was piling on more stress than expected.
He'd worried since her first kill, and now her grim face had nearly gotten her attacked—she could barely swing her sword properly.
"Should we head back?"
He'd hoped to take down the Dream Demon Queen today, but only a few succubi with mind attacks had appeared. No sign of Hill herself.
Usually, they'd push to fight more despite his advice for rest, but today they silently nodded.
As he quickly cut down the nearby demonkin and they prepared to flee the kingdom—
Rumble!
The gates closed...?
The wide-open gates, inviting anyone in, slammed shut. Stunned for a moment, he prepared to smash through—
"Where do you think you're going, intruders?"
A voice echoed from thin air, and behind them, toward the gates, a black shadow rippled.
The shadow coalesced into a human form—an incredibly alluring woman who didn't quite look human.
Similar to the succubi they'd fought, but on another level entirely.
His instincts screamed: this was the Dream Demon Queen Hill, who hadn't shown her face before.
She flicked her tongue like she was declaring her superiority, her eyes inverted—whites black, blacks white. And an overwhelming, vicious demonic aura she couldn't hide.
Excluding the Demon King, he'd thought he could beat one of his three lieutenants, the Dream Demon Queen. What a huge mistake.
Facing her head-on, even at full power, victory wasn't guaranteed.
And with the still-growing Heroes here? Even with Celestina's help, it was disadvantageous—not advantageous at all.
He had to get Sia and Min-geon out first.
Lose the Heroes, and the Demon King was unbeatable... With that in mind, he tossed aside his plain iron sword and drew his dragon sword forged from the Dragon King's core.
"Count to three, then bolt for the walls and break out. Don't fight her in this state."
The three nodded, and as they edged backward, counting down—
"Run!"
He grabbed Celestina and sprinted at full speed for the gates.
"Where do you think you're running!"
Dodging the black shadow blast she hurled with concentrated demonic energy, he cleaved the wall to escape—
"Kyaaak!!!"
Mid-breakthrough, Sia's body got yanked toward Hill's shadow.
"Yusia!"
Damn it.
"You two, get out of here now."
"I-In-hyeok-nim and Sia..."
"I'll rescue Sia and bring her back. Go!"
Yelling at the worried Celestina, Min-geon steeled himself, scooped her up, and slowly escaped beyond the gates.
Glancing as they retreated, he swung at Hill, who was dragging Sia toward the kingdom's center.
Clanggg!
Hill's black shadow blocked his sword. Sparks flew from the friction, but neither budged.
"Let Sia go."
"Why would I release a Hero I've caught...?"
Her creepy laugh grated as he pressed with more swings. He seemed to overwhelm her for a moment, but with a sharp "Kuh!" she shrouded herself and Sia in black shadow and vanished.
The demonic energy trail showed Hill taking Sia toward the center.
Swarms of demonkin surrounded him now, glaring as if daring him to get past them to reach her.
Slash.
One mana-infused swing shredded dozens, spraying black blood.
Yusia...!
Hurry, or who knows what Hill will do to her.
In-hyeok slashed through the demonkin with all his might, carving a path forward.
