Chapter 140: Eternal Spire (26)
In the center of the Temple of the Great Serpent, a goddess with long, jet-black hair trembled. Her ragged moans echoed between the magnificent pillars.
"H-How dare you... Hiiiik♡ T-To me...!"
Inside the temple, once filled with a sacred aura, she was on her knees, her whole body shivering. The influence of the fragment she had forcibly retrieved moments ago heated her body. Every sensation that fragment had experienced spread vividly through her nerves.
"I-I'll kill you...♡"
Her lips spat out words of anger, but her hand was already rubbing her pussy. The tip of her faintly wet tongue licked her red lips.
The sight of the goddess writhing on her throne was wretched. Her once-noble bearing was gone; now she just looked like a bitch in heat, thrusting her hips, consumed by desire.
"Ugh... How dare... you do this... Ahk♡"
Arousal fluid flowed endlessly from between her legs. As the memories of what her fragment had experienced just moments before came rushing back so vividly, her body was dominated by an undeniable instinct.
"Hiit... No... This... isn't me...♡"
She clutched her heaving breasts. Her hardened nipples pushed against the thin fabric of her clothes.
"Keuk... That lowly creature... to me...♡"
But her eyes were already glazing over. The sensation that should have been unpleasant was, in that moment, far too sweet.
"Hah... Hah...♡"
The air in the temple filled with her thick scent. Her heart pounded wildly, and her mind began to go white. Her fingers continued to rub her pussy. Each time a memory from the fragment resurfaced, her body grew even hotter.
"No...♡"
Arousal fluid dripped ceaselessly from her pussy. The great temple was now filled with nothing but the Serpent Empress's lewd moans.
'Y-Yes... I can't help it... J-Just a little...'
Tiamat's fingers dug in deep. In that moment, her body trembled.
"Eung… It feels good…♡"
Her hips bucked unconsciously. This was definitely not her will. It was just her body... her instincts, reacting.
"Cock…♡"
Staring into the air with a hazy gaze, a faint voice escaped her lips. Without a moment's thought, her fingers rubbed her pussy more fiercely. Arousal fluid trickled between her fingers.
"Ugh... That human's... cock... inside me...♡"
In that instant, the sensation of ejaculation that the fragment had felt struck her body.
"Hiik... Inside... spurt spurt... coming...♡"
Her pussy contracted violently. Her hips arched high, and a wave of pleasure shook her entire body.
"Ahk... No... I'm cumming...♡"
Tiamat's body shook as if convulsing. Between her legs, clear fluid burst out like a fountain.
"Hah... Hah...♡"
She collapsed, kneeling on the floor. A wet patch remained between her thighs.
'How... could I... why...'
The Serpent Empress couldn't believe the reality that she had succumbed to a mere human's lust.
"Keuh... Unforgivable... human...♡"
But her furious gaze was also moist with desire.
"Next time… next time… I'll definitely…♡"
But contrary to her words, her fingers moved toward her pussy once more.
"Ugh… Again… I'm cumming…♡"
The Serpent Empress reached the peak of pleasure once again.

I headed for our base, carrying Tia in my arms.
"Hm?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. My ear just suddenly felt itchy."
I tilted my head and kept walking. Just then, Tia snuggled against me in my arms.
"Seo-yun..."
"Yeah?"
"Just a little longer... hold me like this..."
"Alright. But Tia, your breath stinks."
Tia's palm flew toward my chest.
-Thwack!
"Eek... Whose fault do you think that is...!"
Tia's face turned bright red.
"I'm kidding. But Tia... next time..."
"Seriously, shut up if you don't want to get hit... If you want to do it, go do it with the girls from the brothel!"
Tia blushed and repeatedly tapped my chest. Her violet eyes were filled with embarrassment.
Talking with her, we arrived at the base before I knew it. I could hear Isia and Lauren arguing from inside.
"We have to go save Seo-yun, even if it's now!"
"Isia. Against Tiamat, what can we possibly do..."
"But we can't just stand by and do nothing! Master is...!"
Isia's voice trembled. Lauren tried to calm her down, but tears were already welling up in her eyes.
"What's going on?"
As I stepped into the base with Tia in my arms, both of their gazes snapped toward me.
"Master...!"
Isia's eyes widened, and she ran to me. Lauren also looked at us with a surprised expression.
"Miss Tia, are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine."
Lauren let out a sigh of relief. Isia clung to my side, her eyes brimming with tears.
"I was so... so worried..."
I soothed Isia and looked around. Fortunately, all the guild members seemed to be safe, without a single injury.
"You all got out safely."
"Thanks to you, Lord Seo-yun, we were all able to escape safely."
"Everyone, get some rest. I'm going to take Tia to lie down."
"Yes."
"Oh, and check on how Austin's group is doing."
"Understood. I'll send someone right away."
I carried Tia into a tent and laid her down.
"Get a full day's rest. If you feel anything wrong with your body, tell me immediately."
"Don't worry. I'm fine now."
"Alright. I'll be back later."
When I came back out, some women approached me.
"Master, let us treat your wounds."
"Ah, please do."
A pure white light emanated from their hands. Warm healing magic enveloped my body.
"Thanks."
"No, it's nothing..."
They lowered their heads, their faces blushing. After the treatment, my body felt much lighter.
"I should go see Lauren now. There's something I need to check."
Leaving them behind, I walked in Lauren's direction.
"Lord Seo-yun, you're here."
"Yeah. Did you get an update on Austin's situation?"
"The raid party led by Austin suffered heavy losses in the east dungeon. They cleared the dungeon itself, but they apparently took massive casualties during the boss fight."
"The damage is much worse than I thought."
"Yes, and... Yoon Jae-ho's party has apparently entered the other dungeon."
"Yoon Jae-ho?"
"Yes, that's the information I just confirmed."
"Hmm, I should check it out myself. Call Isia and follow me."
Lauren nodded and went to get Isia. A moment later, Isia came running with her bow slung over her shoulder.
"Master, you called for me?"
"Yeah, sorry to bother you while you're resting. Let's just go check the entrance to the west dungeon and come back."
"No, it's fine. I need to stay close to protect you, Master."
Isia smiled brightly and stuck close to my side. I started walking, and Lauren and Isia followed behind.
Before long, the entrance to the west dungeon came into view. The gate, from which a huge white light emanated, was closed.
"A white light..." Lauren muttered.
"How long have they been inside?"
"About an hour, I'm told."
I nodded at Lauren's words. The dungeon entrance looked peaceful.
Just then, the massive gate began to open.
-Thud... Creeeak...
The huge gate opened slowly, and an intense white light spread out.
"Looks like they cleared it."
When the gate was fully open, a group of people appeared.
My eyes met with Yoon Jae-ho, who was leading the group out. There was a subtle change in his gaze.
Yoon Jae-ho, who had been holding my gaze, flinched the moment he saw Isia next to me. His expression twisted for a second, and he hastily turned away.
"Pfft..."
A laugh escaped me before I knew it.
Yoon Jae-ho, who had reacted instinctively upon seeing Isia, seemed to still be traumatized by what happened last time.
"Master? What is it?" Isia asked with a puzzled look. She didn't seem to have noticed Yoon Jae-ho's reaction at all.
"It's nothing. I just saw something funny."
Yoon Jae-ho's face stiffened as if he'd heard me.
Just then, Park So-young, who was standing behind Yoon Jae-ho, growled.
"You piece of trash... What brings your highness here?"
Park So-young's cold voice was filled with hostility. Her hand brushed against the hilt of her sword.
"What's this? It's been a while, and you're already on edge? You had a good time that day, didn't you? Oh, are you still wearing the piercing I gave you?"
"You fucking... bastard...!"
"So-young, calm down..."
Kim Min-su, who was behind her, grabbed her shoulder. He glared at me as he did.
"Hehe, it was such a shame that day. You looked so fucking hot crying while you were getting raped. I never thought he'd manage to run off with you while I looked away for a second."
Park So-young's face twisted. Her hand repeatedly clenched and unclenched around her sword. Beside her, Kim Min-su was desperately trying to hold her back.
Watching their reactions, I glanced at the two new figures standing in the back.
One was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties with red hair, and the other was a man whose face was hidden by a robe.
Seeing the red-haired man holding a bow, he was likely an archer, and the robed man looked like a mage.
Just then, the middle-aged man spoke in a deep, low voice.
"...What happened to my daughter?"
I tilted my head and asked back.
"Hm? Daughter?"
"Yes... The child you took right in front of my eyes that day."
His voice trembled.
He was glaring at me with eyes full of anger and resentment.
'Ah, another revenge story.‘
I answered, muttering nonchalantly.
"I don't even remember who you're talking about."
In that instant, the man's face contorted violently.
The moment I saw his hand move toward the quiver on his back, Isia and Lauren, who were behind me, reacted instantly.
Isia's bow was already drawn with an arrow of light nocked on the string, and Lauren was holding her axe, ready to charge forward at a moment's notice.
"Move and you die."
Lauren's cold voice cut through the air.
The man's hand froze.
Just then, Yoon Jae-ho grabbed his arm.
"Mister. Now is not the time...."
"Kgh..."
Killing intent radiated fiercely from the middle-aged man's eyes.
But he seemed to be barely suppressing his emotions at Yoon Jae-ho's restraint.
I watched him leisurely, the corners of my mouth lifting into a smirk.
"So, what's your daughter's name? If she's still in one piece, I'll send her back."
At my words, the middle-aged man's gaze turned murderous again.
His hands trembled, and he gritted his teeth.
And finally, a single name escaped his lips.
"...Mila Roseburg."
