Whose Woman Are You?
“I’ll ask again. Whose woman are you?”
“I-I’m not anyone’s woman…!”
I let out a low laugh and snapped my hips hard, slamming into Ju Seo-hyeon’s cervix. It was a silent protest against her denial while she was still impaled on my cock.
“Hnnngh…”
Ju Seo-hyeon let out a somewhat dazed moan and averted her gaze.
I sighed and said,
“Ju Seo-hyeon. I won this spar. At least until the next match, you’re my woman. You know that too.”
“……”
“You understand your place now, right? I’ll ask again. Whose woman are you?”
I stared at her face. Ju Seo-hyeon’s cheeks flushed bright red. She wasn’t the type who joked around easily. In other words, she understood the weight of words. Even if she had been forced to say it because I ordered her, she still recognized it as something she herself had uttered.
“R-Right now, I’m your woman. But only until the next spar, so don’t get any funny ideas!”
“If I win the next spar too… then you’ll still be my woman then, right?”
“Tsk. Don’t assume you’ll definitely win next time…!”
“Yeah, yeah. Maybe I’ll lose next time. Now, let’s kiss.”
“……”
Ju Seo-hyeon turned her head away. With her face flushed crimson, she reluctantly accepted the kiss as if she had no choice. As our tongues intertwined, her pussy convulsed. I poured my white semen into her deepest place.
Two hours had passed. Thanks to the nonstop sex, both our bodies were drenched in sweat. Her body went limp on the training ground floor. I still wasn’t satisfied, but Ju Seo-hyeon looked like she needed rest.
Just because her body rests doesn’t mean her mouth has to.
I lifted the head of Ju Seo-hyeon, who was only breathing regularly, and rested it on my thigh. She immediately understood my intent and took my cock into her mouth. Her tongue slowly rolled, licking the glans. I felt her breath and the warm air from her nose against my groin.
I stroked her head. I liked how obedient she had become after just a few hours.
We tangled our bodies until the rooster crowed.
Three days later, the members of the A-Plan Legion moved out to conquer a new zone. The destination was Zone 2,910, the Mechanical Park.
“Sorry, Yujin. I wanted to give you more rest time, but… this is the perfect moment. If we drag it out any longer, another legion will snatch it.”
“It’s fine. Three days was more than enough rest.”
“You’re the core of this operation. If there’s any problem, tell me immediately.”
Zone 2,910, the Mechanical Park, was exactly what the name suggested—a zone of mechanical monsters. The mechanical monsters here were said to be especially vulnerable to the lightning attribute.
We tore a spatial transfer scroll and appeared in front of Zone 2,910. Only six of us were participating in the conquest.
Me, Kang Myeong-jin, Ju Seo-hyeon, Lilsne, Ji Yeongbin, and Rain.
The rest of the members stayed behind to guard the legion.
Six people.
Considering that even a normal zone conquest usually required at least twenty people, it was an absurdly small number.
I’m the core of this run, and Kang Myeong-jin already knows everything about the Mechanical Park.
Kang Myeong-jin probably thought six was more than enough.
Yu Seo-hee had wanted to come with me, but she couldn’t. As a succubus, her compatibility against mechanical monsters was terrible.
The entrance to the Mechanical Park was sealed by a steel gate. The walls were only about three meters high, but the system itself guarded them, making it impossible to force our way over. Kang Myeong-jin pulled something from his pocket—a blue card.
He held the card out to the steel gate.
Beep!
“Oh… I didn’t expect the door to open this easily. Master, where did you get that card?”
Rain made a big fuss as he asked Kang Myeong-jin. Kang Myeong-jin slipped the card back into his pocket and answered,
“I picked it up on the street.”
“Come on. How do you just pick up something like that on the street? Your jokes are too much.”
“I really did pick it up on the street.”
“If you don’t want to tell me, fine.”
Rain spoke as if he were disappointed. Kang Myeong-jin hadn’t lied. That card really had been picked up on the street—wedged between the cobblestones where no one would notice.
As far as I know, that card isn’t unique. Roughly a hundred of them are scattered somewhere across Atlantis.
No one else knew those cards were the entry tickets to Zone 2,910.
You have entered Zone 2,910, Mechanical Park.
The Mechanical Park was a well-maintained park. It was spacious, and the flower beds were filled with flowers and trees that made their presence known. The ones managing this park were machines. All sorts of mechanical monsters roamed without rest.
Machines flying through the sky, machines rolling across the ground, machines holding giant shears in their hands, and more.
The moment the machines saw us, their lenses turned red.
“Intruder detected.”
“Eliminate the intruder swiftly.”
“Deploying battle mode.”
The mechanical monsters charged without warning.
Manryeo (Ten Thousand Thunders)
Laser-like lightning shot from the center of the manji-shaped mass of thunderbolts. Manryeo was more powerful than simply dropping ordinary lightning.
The mechanical monsters struck by Manryeo collapsed to the ground, electrocuted.
“Intruder… elimi… nate…”
“Error… occurring…”
“Beeeeeep…”
The mechanical monsters fell. Sparks crackled from their steel bodies as a thin trail of smoke rose. The legion members did not lower their guard. There was always the chance a mechanical monster would suddenly spring back up and attack.
Kang Myeong-jin moved calmly. He tore open the bodies of the mechanical monsters with his spear and pulled out the core components. They were tiny parts no bigger than a thumb, glowing with a pure blue light.
“Master, what is that?”
“Akris.”
“Akris?”
“A rare metal with high mana conductivity. Excellent for weapon crafting, and highly valuable as a magical material as well.”
After quickly collecting the Akris, Kang Myeong-jin shoved the wreckage of the mechanical monsters into a corner. He kept the path as clean as possible in case of unexpected trouble.
We all looked at Kang Myeong-jin. Because it was a park, the paths branched in many directions. Deciding the route at times like this was the legion master’s job. The other members all looked toward the path leading to the center. The probability of a boss monster being at the heart of the zone was high.
“We’ll circle the outer edges slowly and work our way inward.”
“Uh… is there a reason for that?”
“We need to reduce the number of mechanical monsters. If they all gather at once and surround us, the situation becomes dangerous.”
“I see.”
The members easily accepted Kang Myeong-jin’s words. Every zone conquest he had led so far had been perfect. They believed this one would be perfect as well.
In reality, he’s just trying to scrape up as much Akris as possible. If we take out the boss first, the trash mobs might disappear.
We slowly circled the outer edges.
Whenever three or more mechanical monsters appeared, I stepped forward to handle them, but one or two were left to the others.
Ji Yeongbin took the front as the tank, while Ju Seo-hyeon and Lilsne were the dealers. Rain, the mage, specialized in binding and interference magic. Their coordination was a little off, but it was still a decent combination.
“Ju Seo-hyeon. You attacked too quickly. Don’t just charge in the moment you see an opening. If you were alone it might be different, but in that situation Lilsne could have dealt more damage.”
“…Got it. I’ll be careful.”
“Ji Yeongbin. I’ve told you repeatedly—don’t just block. Prepare your counterattacks.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Lilsne and Rain… you’re doing well.”
Kang Myeong-jin, watching from a step behind, offered advice while collecting Akris. He was thrifty.
“Seong Yujin.”
Kang Myeong-jin, who had stepped forward and was plucking a flower from a flower bed, called me.
“What?”
Kang Myeong-jin approached me.
“A flower? Never thought I’d receive flowers from a man. I want to throw it away right now.”
It was a yellow flower. Its shape was similar to a lily. The center was hollowed out, and something that looked like a bead sat inside.
“It’s not that. Can you send an electric current through that flower?”
“Doesn’t look like an ordinary flower.”
◈ Charges electricity.
“The important thing is that the voltage can’t be too strong.”
I carefully sent a current through it exactly as Kang Myeong-jin wanted. The bead in the center of the flower began to glow. The petals were affected as well, making the entire flower look as if it were shining.
◈ Charges electricity.
The rank had risen.
“Perfect.”
Kang Myeong-jin plucked only the glowing flower bud and tucked it into the pouch hanging at his waist.
“What is that flower? How do you use it?”
The Flower Battery hadn’t existed in the original work. Since I hadn’t been there in the original, it made sense that it had never been used.
“Flower Batteries can be used in various places depending on the purpose… but I plan to use them as electric bombs. The power isn’t much, but depending on the situation, this could become a lifeline.”
“Bombs, huh. You’re carrying them in a pouch even though they might explode?”
“They won’t explode if you just throw them normally. You have to stimulate them with mana.”
“Is that so? You know a lot.”
“I just picked up bits and pieces here and there. And I don’t think you’re one to talk.”
Neither Kang Myeong-jin nor I particularly liked this topic. We stopped talking and resumed the conquest.
We circled the outer edges in a spiral, gradually moving inward. Most of the mechanical monsters weren’t difficult to handle, but there was one annoying type.
It was a humanoid one. Kang Myeong-jin called them Guardians. They had thrusters on their backs that let them fly through the sky, and blades attached to both hands. Their specialty was instantaneous acceleration. On top of that, their reaction speed was so fast that they easily blocked the lightning I fired.
Whenever one of those appeared, I had to use Astrape to fight.
“……”
Kang Myeong-jin suddenly stopped. He stared at the wreckage of mechanical monsters scattered across the path.
“What’s wrong?”
“…These aren’t machines we took down.”
“You sure?”
“The fact that the Akris is still intact is the proof.”
Kang Myeong-jin always thoroughly collected every piece of Akris from the wreckage whenever a mechanical monster fell.
“Chance they fought among themselves?”
“Other monsters maybe, but mechanical monsters have clear friend-or-foe identification. And there’s no chance of other monsters being in this garden. It’s definitely people. Someone followed us in from behind.”
“…You need a card to enter this zone.”
“There’s no rule that says there’s only one card.”
The atmosphere grew serious.
I quietly glanced at Rain out of the corner of my eye. Rain the spy kept his mouth shut in silence.
Rain is a spy, but he’s not the type to act rashly.
Kang Myeong-jin, who had been lost in thought, spoke.
“Looks like there were people secretly tailing me. I picked up the card about ten days ago… so that would have been enough time for them to obtain another card.”
“Then can’t we narrow it down?”
“There are too many suspects for that. Having too high a reputation is a problem in its own way.”
Especially since the A-Plan Legion was receiving the patronage of Duke Valdert, they drew even more attention and checks from the surroundings.
KABOOM!
An explosion echoed from the center of the park. Kang Myeong-jin clicked his tongue.
“At this rate we might lose the dominion rights. We need to run from here on.”
With Kang Myeong-jin in the lead, we began to run.
When we arrived at the center, we saw a group fighting a giant robot that stood five meters tall. There were nearly twenty members, more than half of them women.
Standing a little apart from the center was a woman with hair as red as a rose. She wore a black leather dress, and a thorned rose tattoo adorned her right shoulder.
She looked at us with blood-red eyes and parted her crimson lips.
“Oh my. It’s the A-Plan Legion. As you can see, we’re a bit busy right now. Mind not interrupting?”
“Federica of the Thorn Rose Legion…”
“You know my name. For the master of the famous A-Plan Legion to know me… I’m honored.”
Federica smiled seductively.
“Federica! Kill those bastards!!”
The man fighting the giant robot head-on shouted.
“Sorry. My boyfriend’s a bit hot-blooded. Don’t get the wrong idea. I want to resolve this through dialogue.”
As the wind blew, her lush red hair swayed like waves.
