Chapter Title: Date with the Demon King (5)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Demon King's kiss didn't end quickly.
"Mmph, hng...!?"
Unable to resist, she tilted her head deeply, sucking onto my lips as if to literally devour me whole, thrusting her tongue in along with her breath.
Slurp!
"Ngh, guh...!?"
Her long, thick tongue—utterly inhuman—pushed its way inside, making my body twitch as I somehow mustered the strength to bite down.
"Kuhuhu..."
But far from showing any pain, she smiled with her eyes as if it were adorable, teasingly wriggling her tongue to toy with me.
Being subjected to this in front of everyone—it was the height of humiliation and shame.
Slurp slurp!
"Mmph! Chuuurp! Ngh...!"
Her hot, slimy tongue sexually entwined with mine, scraping and wrapping around it, ravaging me.
Every time it slickly brushed my palate and the insides of my cheeks, my body jolted from the stimulating sensation.
"Urgh...!"
I glared at her murderously, trembling hands clutching at her throat, but I had no strength left to strangle her.
She chuckled into my throat as if mocking me—or perhaps delighted—poking teasingly before pressing even closer and flicking her tongue.
"You, you damn bitch!?"
"I'll kill you...!"
"How dare you defile the Incarnation...!"
"Get away from my husband! You damn thieving cat bitch!!"
Rebecca, Kachiora, Ratifi, and Charhela flipped out at the NTR show unfolding before their eyes, channeling their energy and unleashing mind swords.
Murel, Nemes, and Wendy said nothing, but they too radiated killing intent and joined the attack.
"Chuuuurp, sluuuurp, chuuuup...!"
But Rubias grew even bolder, brazenly sucking my saliva while dyeing the entire area with her authority.
Whoosh.
Time warped and space twisted; the mind swords' trajectories bent or scattered into nothingness.
If they'd been perfect mind swords, the outcome might have differed... but regrettably, theirs were forced imitations, hastily summoned.
Even so, they could overwhelm a typical master, but against Rubias, it was laughable.
"Ngh...!"
Anyway, this crazy bitch—going this far just to flaunt our kiss to the women. It was absurd.
...Yes. She was clearly overexerting herself right now.
I could feel it plainly, pressed so close to her.
Her power and authority were nearing their limits.
No matter how strong the Demon King was, in the divine realm where her strength waned, after taking multiple counterattacks from the 'Absolute Ring Set,' and then recklessly expending more power clashing with me—it was only natural.
Yet despite her exhaustion, she wasn't taking me hostage. Her choice to handle it this way was utterly incomprehensible.
"Nghuhu..."
Slurp! Slurrrp!
I glared fixedly at her as she laughed and played with my tongue and mouth.
Yes, keep letting your guard down like that.
I'll definitely kill you.
Twitch!
"......"
The moment I secretly resolved with burning determination and fired off a telepathic message, she—who had been playfully squeezing and wrapping around my tongue—froze.
After locking eyes with me in that state for a moment, she regretfully withdrew her tongue and slowly pulled her lips away.
A sticky, transparent thread stretched between her lips and mine.
"Chuuup... Looks like you've still got something up your sleeve, Kang Han-gil."
"...I don't have shit."
"Kukuku. Your lie is obvious."
I scowled fiercely.
I had to buy time somehow.
"...How'd you know? Did you sense the telepathy?"
"I don't know if it's telepathy or whatever, but I felt a faint trace of authority leaking from your body toward somewhere."
"......"
At Demon King level, they can sense telepathy, huh.
I'll have to remember that.
"...You're sharp. So? You running away again this time?"
"Of course. I don't feel like dying yet. Kuhuhut! Me, saying I don't want to die... Ahh, I really do need to live longer."
"Grit!"
Frustrated, I ground my teeth, and she patted my butt soothingly like one would a child.
"Don't make that face. I'll come for another date. You'll have plenty of chances to kill me later."
"Ha..."
Too drained for anger, I let out a hollow laugh.
"But, hmm..."
She started to say something, then closed her mouth, gazing at me with meaningful eyes.
"...What're you thinking?"
Even in my utterly exhausted state, where I couldn't move a muscle, my instincts and senses sharpened keenly, detecting something ominous.
"Who knows. Wanna guess?"
Grinning, countless spatial fragments silently swirled behind her.
The group's mind swords, aimed at Rubias, were gradually shattering her spatial authority bit by bit.
But their momentum was weakening over time.
Partly from fatigue battling high demons, but mostly because Arpe's forced awakening was ending.
"How the hell should I know."
"Guess anyway. Come on?"
I sighed deeply at her unusually coquettish, playful prodding.
Then, her earlier words suddenly came to mind.
"...Dunno. Planning to kidnap me like this?"
"Oh ho? Correct! You really do know me well!"
"...Ah, fuck."
A reflexive curse slipped out.
"Fufufu... I just can't help it. If I kidnap you to the demon realm like this, those annoying women will give up on you."
"Doubt it. I see it differently."
"If they come looking without giving up, no problem. I'll just kill them all."
"...You think I'll play along with whatever you want?"
"Haha! It's fine! No—better yet! I fell for you precisely because you don't bend to my whims!"
"Ugh, seriously..."
I stared at her in exasperation, words failing me.
"Cut it out, you psycho bitch."
"No. Even if you hate me, even if you despise me..."
Mid-sentence, she shuddered with ecstatic delight.
"Just imagining it sets my body aflame. Are you prepared, Kang Han-gil? Prepared to be with me forever."
"Hell no..."
"You will be. It's the only way things get easier from here."
"...Me, suicide?"
"Hm?"
Her smiling face froze solid as she stared at me.
Seeing that, I smirked, curling my lips.
"I figured you'd know... but I've prepared multiple suicide methods for times like this."
"...You think I'll just let that happen?"
"Kukuku. Can you even save me? The Life Demon King Otilib maybe, but you're no good at that stuff, right?"
"......"
After a brief silence, she sighed.
"Really... You're already mine, yet so hard to obtain."
"Who the hell's yours."
"From beginning to end. You are mine, Kang Han-gil."
Grinning wickedly, she circled behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist.
"...What're you doing?"
Feeling the large, soft sensation against my back, I voiced my confusion—then a lewd whisper tickled my ear.
"Respecting your cute, desperate resistance, I've decided to behave and leave for now... but wouldn't that be boring?"
"Huh...?"
Right then, the Demon King's dominating authority over the area vanished in an instant.
"Han-gil-nim!"
"Are you alright!?"
Rebecca and Ratifi rushed in first, faces blazing with fury as they glared at Rubias.
"Fufufu. Servants of Kang Han-gil. Your loyalty is truly noble and lofty. Charging in without hesitation to save your master, even before a Demon King like me."
"You bastard...!"
"Now now, don't draw your swords recklessly. Kang Han-gil might die."
"Wha...!?"
Rebecca halted her attack mid-swing.
Vmmm—!
Rubias rested her chin on my shoulder from behind, rubbing her cheek against mine while blatantly unfolding spatial authority around us.
"From now on, any attack aimed at me will redirect to Kang Han-gil."
"You despicable scum...!"
"A Demon King taking hostages! Have you no shame!?"
Rubias snorted at Kachiora's cry.
"Don't expect human notions from a demon like me. But no need to worry. I originally planned to take Kang Han-gil to the demon realm like this... but he threw a tantrum about hating it. So, out of mercy and generosity, I'll withdraw for today."
With those words, she grinned mischievously and sensually stroked my chest.
"However, there are too many women around Kang Han-gil. So I'm marking my property before I go."
"What...?"
"What do you..."
As the women looked stunned, Rubias buried her face in the nape of my neck.
Smooooch!!
The sharp, blatant sucking sound echoed.
"Uh...?"
"Huh...?"
The women's dumbfounded expressions were a sight to behold.
And I was just as shocked.
So... her 'reluctant to leave empty-handed' move was to leave hickeys as a claim?
"...Seriously, I can't understand you, Rubias..."
I muttered, wincing at the intense suction on my nape—then Rubias pinched my nipple hard.
"......"
I decided not to resist and just take it.
Pop!
"Fuuha... One's not enough. Then..."
"No, enough already..."
Smooch! Smoooochoo!
No matter what I said, she kept sucking diligently at my skin.
My neck, shoulders, collarbone, and chest were covered in lipstick marks.
"Hm, this should suffice."
Nodding in satisfaction, she pecked my lips lightly one last time.
"Then, I'll be off. Until next time, my dear."
"...Who said I'd let you go quietly."
"Hm?"
Meeting her puzzled gaze, I swiftly fired off another telepathic message.
I knew she could sense it, but it was still faster than shouting aloud.
"...O God. Purify the utmost unclean and restore to the world the light named hope and courage."
Immediately, a clear prayer voice pierced my ears.
Closer than expected.
Glancing sideways, Sisili—who had received the telepathy and approached stealthily—stood with hands clasped, gazing heavenward.
Ruuuumble—!!
"...Oh dear, this is dangerous."
Seeing the clumps of holy power crystallizing in midair like ice from the relic-activated 'Miracle of God,' Rubias broke into a cold sweat with a troubled look.
In an instant, the holy power masses charged at Rubias.
It wasn't too fast to react to... but it wasn't something you could dodge or block.
Because, just like the attacks I'd reflected back with my 'Absolute Counter Ring,' it carried an overlaid law.
The law of the Goddess's authority, needless to say.
"Hng, urghhh!"
Rubias strained desperately, emitting demonic energy and authority to fend off the holy power.
But with her depleted strength, she could only shave off about half before it struck her.
"Gaaaaahhh!!"
For the first time, she screamed in agony.
Her body melted limply.
Her firm, smooth skin dissolved into a handful of transparent liquid; muscles and bones stretched like viscous goo, dripping away.
"Kah, kugh...!"
Yet, somehow, Rubias survived.
Even with only her head and part of her upper body left amid the melting, she floated eerily in the air, grinning creepily.
"Ha, hahaha...! That was truly dangerous... Kang Han-gil. Thrilling..."
"You survived that? What a disgusting freak..."
"Then, until next time... Kang Han-gil."
Poof!
Truly pressed, she vanished without waiting for my reply, leaving only a brief farewell.
"Haa..."
She got away again.
It felt like I almost had her... but we were just a hair short on power.
"...Damn it."
Exhausted, I sighed and collapsed onto the ground.
"Han-gil-nim. Are you alright?"
"Ah, yeah. Murel..."
Grab!
"...Murel?"
Murel forcibly pulled me to my feet and stared intently at my wrist, setting my instincts and senses on edge once more.
"...Something wrong, Murel?"
"......"
Without answering, she—uncharacteristically—glared with clear displeasure and anger at the countless kiss marks on my neck and chest.
"I need to overwrite them."
"What?"
"I need to cover those filthy demon bitch's traces."
"......"
Overwhelmed by her blazing gaze, I shut my mouth like a mute.
"Han-gil-nim..."
"......"
Not just Murel—the other women closing in had eyes boiling with similar fury.
