Chapter Title: God's Atlantis
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"The riddle-loving cat (False God) harbors murderous intent toward you."
I executed the Heavenly Demon Step, dodging the Sphinx's forepaw to the side.
Boom!
A paw-shaped mark at least three centimeters deep cratered into the ground.
"You never intended to solve the riddle from the start, nyang. Am I right, nyang?"
"......"
It was the correct answer. But it was also true that the Sphinx didn't know the answer to the question it posed.
'In the original story, the protagonist, Kang Myung-jin, knew the answer but deliberately got it wrong.'
The Sphinx has the ability to grow stronger every time its target solves a riddle. It's due to the irrational reason that it finds opponents who solve its riddles detestable. Solving one makes it twice as strong, two makes it four times.
However, if the opponent solves all three, it admits defeat and clears the path.
On the flip side, if the opponent fails to solve any, it considers them pathetic and weakens compared to its normal state.
'I must have gotten stronger. The Sphinx looks this weak.'
Heavenly Demon Divine Art: Heavenly Demon Asura.
Heavenly Demon energy flickered around my hands like black flames.
"Kyaaack! That's creepy energy, nyang!"
Unexpectedly, the Sphinx reacted violently. Its hostility toward me intensified. But that didn't make the Sphinx any stronger.
"Kyaak! Kyaak!"
The Sphinx swung its forepaws at me repeatedly. It looked weak on the surface, but the power in those paws couldn't be ignored. A solid hit would put me in danger too.
"Should I rip off that cat's ballsack?"
"Kyaaack! No one touches my balls, nyang! Die, nyang!"
Dodging the Sphinx's attacks wasn't hard. They were just fast, with straightforward trajectories. So, I didn't react—I predicted and evaded.
Boom!
When the Sphinx swung its paw and stumbled slightly after hitting a flying rock shard with its own face, reaping what it sowed, I didn't miss the opening. I stepped on its forepaw and leaped right to its face.
I poured power into my right fist like bursting veins. The flame-like blazing Heavenly Demon energy rapidly condensed in my fist.
Heavenly Demon Divine Art: Dragon Fist.
I swung my fist, striking the Sphinx's forehead.
The Heavenly Demon energy shot straight through its head. From the side, it would look like a black laser piercing the Sphinx.
Dragon Fist looks like a striking technique, but it's really a piercing one. It excels at penetration over blunt impact. Or rather, since it fires compressed Heavenly Demon energy, it's closer to a gunshot.
"Kyaaa... Ahhh...."
The Sphinx collapsed sideways. But its massive body soon turned to light and vanished without a trace. In its place lay a golden key. I hurriedly picked it up.
"Nice shine on this thing."
I stored the golden key in my inventory. Its first use was decided: the pyramid's top floor. This key was needed to enter.
While I was at it, I removed the black glove from my hand. I was about to touch a woman, and I didn't want to do it gloved.
'The amplification from Maninsal is huge. Dragon Fist's power was beyond expectations.'
The Sphinx's False God form died in one hit because the Atlantis system had nerfed it. If it were the real Sphinx, I'd be the one dead.
'I can't underestimate the divine seats just because I easily killed a False God.'
I muttered Kang Myung-jin's constant caution in my mind.
"Hm?"
Kasha, whom I'd laid on the ground, was gone. She must have come to while I fought the Sphinx and fled.
'She hides her presence pretty well. Makes sense for a thief.'
I was relaxed. Less than two minutes had passed fighting the Sphinx. Even if her body wasn't normal, how far could she get?
'The Subordination (A) skill lets me know the subordinate's location.'
Activating the skill, I instantly knew where she was. Hiding behind a wall in the corner.
I moved to Kasha with a light step technique.
"Gasp!"
Kasha startled upon seeing me. She then swung her fist at me.
"Die!"
No need to block. Her fist stopped right before my face. Bound to me by subordination, Kasha couldn't harm me.
"Give it up already."
"Damn it...!"
I grabbed her fist and pulled her into my embrace. Her soft breasts pressing against my chest felt great. Her smooth, supple skin never got old no matter how much I touched it.
Kasha bit her lip and went limp in my arms. She knew she couldn't escape me now. Under subordination, ditching or hiding from me was impossible.
Besides, in her weakened state, she couldn't even fight back. Moving recklessly would just get her trapped and killed helplessly.
"Good that you're realizing your place. You pussy."
"......"
"Let's switch it up this time."
I turned Kasha's body around. Her sleek back pressed against my torso. Back-hug position. My hands roamed her body. Right hand gripped her ample breast, left caressed her lower abdomen with the pink heart tattoo.
"Full of my cum in here, right?"
Drip.
Semen leaked from her pussy, trickling down her thigh.
"I know why you're quiet. You saw with your own eyes how I took down the Sphinx. Even your great brother can't beat me."
"...Tch."
I licked her cheek while fiddling with her wet pussy beneath the coarse pubic hair.
"How about accepting in your heart that you're my pussy now?"
"...Don't get cocky. The moment I get a chance, I'll smash that smug face."
"I could spare your brother and the bandit group."
My mission was to deal with the Mudhand Bandits. Killing them was simplest, but other methods worked too.
"You bastard... Now you're threatening me? Think I'm scared?"
"Doesn't matter how you take it. You're my pussy in the end. Don't forget that."
"Fuck...."
I lifted Kasha and inserted my cock into her pussy. The position wasn't the most comfortable since we weren't facing each other, but watching her breasts jiggle with my movements made it bearable.
"Haah!"
I fucked her once and moved on.
Thud. Drip. Thud.
'Mummies showed up again.'
I smashed the mummies chasing my back. Watching the regenerating ones creep back made me glad I'd lured the Mudhand Bandits here.
'Without them, the thousands of mummies in this pyramid would just chase me alone.'
Well, if the Mudhand Bandits weren't stronger than expected, I wouldn't have come to the pyramid either.
"Which way?"
The vice captain asked a subordinate thief at the fork. That thief had the unique trait 'Trace Detection (B)'. Activating it made footprints and traces on the ground vivid. But only traces within 12 hours, and it showed all traces, not specific targets.
"Left!"
The thief answered quickly. Only human footprints were visible, no need to distinguish.
"Left again! This bastard's only going left."
"Let's go!"
Amad, leader of the Mudhand Bandits, shouted.
"Ah! Wait, boss! Don't move so fast! We don't know what traps are hidden!!"
The bandits pressed on.
They arrived at a place with battle traces.
Three comrades had died to traps and mummies getting here. But the thieves didn't dwell on it. Death was close for them. Mourning fallen comrades back at the hideout was the rule.
"Tch. Heavenly Demon, was it? What the hell did that guy fight...?"
The vice captain scowled. He knew the Heavenly Demon was strong, but not how strong.
"...That Heavenly Demon fucker...!"
Amad ground his teeth. What he saw was semen splattered on the ground. He could imagine what happened. The Heavenly Demon raped Kasha here.
Amad's eyes turned bloodshot, mana surging wildly.
"B-Boss! He's not here, so calm down... No. While you're pissed, let's wipe these mummy bastards! These withered fucks are annoyingly persistent!"
"Aaaargh!"
Amad roared in rage and charged the mummies. Each sword swing chopped them to pieces.
The vice captain clicked his tongue watching Amad vent. The other thieves tensed at Amad's unusual fury.
'No way he'd stay sane after his little sister got that treatment. This is good. The more they distrust Amad, the easier to oust him as boss.'
They resumed chasing the Heavenly Demon.
"Hah! Haah...."
I groped Kasha's breasts as we entered the fourth room.
Rumble.
The stone wall moved as I entered, sealing the entrance.
"Hngh...! W-What?!"
Kasha, impaled on my cock, panicked and looked around. A sealed room about 5 pyeong wide, 7 meters high.
"No need to freak. It's a trap room."
"Trap room?!"
This pyramid has three types of rooms.
False God rooms. Like the Sphinx's—rarest and most dangerous.
Monster rooms. Self-explanatory monsters inside. Good luck, you might pass without fighting.
Trap rooms. The room itself is the trap. Like here.
Drip.
A water drop fell from the ceiling.
Drip. Drip drip. Drip.
Drops increased.
Pourpourpour!
It became a downpour.
I coolly took the rain. Water pooled, not draining, level rising fast. In under 10 seconds, it reached my ankles.
"Th-This is that one? Filling the room with water to drown us?"
"Yeah. You know your stuff."
I glanced at my waterproof smartphone in my left hand. Knew it was fine, but checked anyway.
"Hey! Why are you so calm?! We'll drown!"
"Scared now that death feels real?"
"I don't wanna die with a fucker like you! You idiot!"
"We won't. Anyway, let's fuck."
"You psycho! Is your head full of nothing but that?!"
"Your pussy's gripping tighter 'cause you think we're dying."
"Ah, aaah...!"
Kasha, clinging to me, couldn't escape.
Wet Kasha was incredibly sexy. Red hair plastered to her face, skin slicker and wetter than usual. Water streamed off her stiff nipples.
"Ahng...!"
Kasha moaned, face twisting. Annoyed at feeling pleasure even now.
"Haaang!"
Fingering her anus got a violent reaction. She arched her back sharply, convulsing.
Water reached my thighs quickly.
"Br-Break the wall...!"
Kasha panted.
"Won't work. This pyramid isn't that easy."
Atlantis was no pushover. It wouldn't allow blatant rule-breaks like wall-smashing. This world was for the divine seats' amusement, after all.
'With overwhelming power, maybe...'
But I didn't have that.
"I'll handle it. You focus on your job, pussy."
"Fucking hell... Hnghk."
Water reached her neck.
I floated on my back like backstroke. Kasha on top. I'd be her floatie. Pussy and cock still connected. I thrust my hips, enjoying her.
How in water? My skill [Blessing of Water]. Free movement underwater, even breathing.
"Haaang! Hauk! Aaah...!"
Lost in sex, Kasha braced on my chest and shook her hips. No more anxiety. My consistent calm made her trust me subconsciously.
