Chapter 444: The Hero Climaxes in Defeat Again Today[R-18] (34)
It had been a week since I picked up that dumb-looking guy, Aaren. I’d managed to find out more than I expected.
I eavesdropped on most of their conversations through Bi-yeon's sylph. Thanks to that, figuring out the party's internal dynamics was a piece of cake.
‘The time he became the Hero… it overlaps with when Marienne awakened.’
Circumstantially, it was all but confirmed that Aaren was the Hero.
‘I couldn't care less about a male Hero… but the women he has with him are useful, so I'll have to treat him well for now.’
Especially Hilla, the priestess. I was able to close the distance with her faster than I thought.
She knew who I was from the start and had almost no guard up. No, it was more like she even showed a bit of respect.
‘I'll be able to fuck that bitch soon.’
On the other hand, the mage, Rien, was very wary. She wasn't hostile, but she didn't seem to have any intention of getting close.
Besides, there was one more thing I found out about Rien.
‘She's a dwarf…?’
At first, I thought she was just a short half-elf. But according to the sylph's confirmation, she was definitely a pure-blooded dwarf.
‘Hmm… a mutant, maybe?’
The dwarves I knew were hairy masses of muscle if they were men. The women weren't much different.
‘And a mage, of all things. If the other dwarves—who shun magic and traditionally wield axes up close—saw her, they would've smashed her head in with a hammer long ago.’
There wasn't a single ordinary thing about that bitch.
‘First, I'll fuck Hilla… Rien comes after.’
The target was set. Now the question was how to conquer them.
“Ugh, you're in heat again.”
From across the carriage, Bi-yeon sighed as she glared at me.
“Why? Are you disappointed I didn't fuck you today?”
“Do you think I'm you?”
“Hmm... if you say so.”
I shrugged and turned my head away. Then I looked back at Bi-yeon and said,
“Bi-yeon, in your opinion… what's the most delicious way to fuck the Hero's women?”
“…Are you serious?”
Bi-yeon narrowed her eyes and frowned.
“Yeah, I'm serious.”
Bi-yeon sighed and rested her chin on her hand.
“I saw on Kkitomi…”
“You look at that stuff?”
“It’s-it’s your fault! Because you got me all worked up back then…!”
Bi-yeon's face flushed, and she whipped her head away. I chuckled and asked her,
“So? What's the most delicious way to fuck them?”
“…With your trait, getting them to spread their legs is a piece of cake anyway. So why not try something different?”
“Different?”
“Like transforming into a monster, like an orc…”
“Hmm… I've thought about that, but transformation magic is way beyond my skill level.”
“Don't you remember anything from the game? Like some special equipment.”
“…Ah, there is one thing.”
Bi-yeon's eyes lit up.
“Really? What is it?”
“According to the lore, it was equipment used by the previous Demon King. Transformation-specialized equipment.”
“Where is it? If we have to go far again, I'm not going.”
“According to the last record… it was recovered by the Holy Kingdom when the previous Demon King was defeated. It should be in Lienos, where we're headed.”
Bi-yeon rested her chin on her hand and nodded.
“Ugh… just like an erotic game. They have everything, don't they? I can already picture all the stupid shit this bastard will do once he gets his hands on it.”
“The problem is… all the Demon King's relics there are sealed, and they're under the strict management of the Holy Knights.”
“You figure that out yourself.”
Bi-yeon didn't seem to have any intention of helping.
Of course, she'd end up helping if I asked. And even if she refused, one good fuck would change her attitude.
‘First, I'll have to check how tight the security is.’

Late at night.
We finally crossed the border of the Holy Kingdom and entered the first city on its edge.
The country itself wasn't very large. The capital, Lienos, was a two-day journey at the fastest.
After getting a room at an inn, Aaren's group went out on their own, saying they had something to do. I took Bi-yeon and Ivril for a walk through the night streets.
They called it a holy city, and true to its name, the streets were lined with needlessly elegant statues and dazzling white buildings.
“My lord, this is my first time in the Holy Kingdom, so I'm quite excited.”
Ivril's large eyes sparkled as she looked around.
“Which god do dark elves believe in again? The World Tree?”
“No, my lord. The World Tree is worshipped by the pale-skinned ones. We dark elves serve Lady Lumeis of the Pale Star.”
Ivril put her hands together with a reverent expression. Seen under the midnight moon, her face looked quite mystical.
“Lumeis…”
The Hero Climaxes in Defeat Again Today mentioned it a few times in the main story, but the gods' appearances were never revealed.
The only clues were the statues and murals scattered around. Most depicted Lumeis in a female form… but her appearance varied from region to region.
‘The game called them goddesses, so they must all be beauties.’
If I get the chance, the day will come when I fuck a goddess too.
As I was walking down the street lost in such idle thoughts, I stopped and instinctively swallowed.
“Seo-yun…”
Bi-yeon also seemed to feel something, hugging Mayo tightly in her arms. The little phoenix's feathers stood on end as it trembled.
“My lord… Lady Bi-yeon, what's wrong…?”
Ivril, who hadn't felt anything, just tilted her head in confusion.
And just then, a group dressed in black formal wear walked toward us from the distance. Their coats were embroidered with black and white decorations, and even in their silence, a strange, melody-like flow of mana emanated from them.
The man at the very front, in particular, had his eyes closed, his lips moving slightly. It was like a low whisper, as if he were singing a song.
And… the moment I saw the man's face, I instinctively swallowed.
‘That bastard… it's Cradius, the conductor of the Black Chorus.’
In the game, he was the leader of the Black Chorus and the apostle of Elvariel, the god they served.
He made an anticlimactic exit during a battle with the Seven Deadly Sins in the main story, so he was known as a total pushover among the players, but according to the lore, he was the strongest of the three cult leaders.
‘Is he about as strong as me when I'm merged with a spirit, or maybe a little stronger?’
As he passed by us, he muttered as if to himself.
“Hmm… an interesting combination. A unique spirit, a divine beast… and even a dark elf. And—”
At that moment, he turned his head slightly and met my eyes. The corners of his mouth lifted as he looked at me with interest.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he looked away and continued on his original path.
When his back had completely disappeared from view—
“The Black Chorus…” Ivril muttered, intrigued.
“He's strong,” Bi-yeon said, hugging Mayo.
“Kooooo…”
Mayo, too, seemed to finally relax, its feathers trembling.
“Let's go.”
As we started walking again, I suddenly felt the urge to fight Cradius.
If I fought a guy like a master of sound-based attacks from a martial arts novel, I might gain some new experience.
After all, it's rare to find an opponent who uses sound-based attacks that powerful.

Marienne lay on her bed and let out a quiet sigh.
‘Haaah… how long do I have to be trapped like this?’
It was suffocating. The repetitive daily lessons, the constant surveillance, and above all, the lack of freedom.
‘…I want to go back to the manor. The Marquis should have returned by now…’
Just the thought of it made her body heat up.
‘My pussy is itching…’
But she couldn't even masturbate. There were too many eyes—the Holy Knights and priestesses guarding this place left no openings.
—Knock, knock.
“Lady Hero, your break is over. It is time for your lessons to resume.”
“Haaah… yes…”
Marienne pushed herself up with a gloomy face, shuddering at the word 'lessons'.
Lately, her days consisted mainly of learning the basics of being a Hero, performing holy duties, and receiving faith education about Lumeis, the goddess of the Pale Star.
In short, it was a series of mind-numbingly boring and old-fashioned history and doctrine classes.
‘At this rate, my soul is going to die first.’
The Order of the Pale Star had brought her here the day after she awakened. Without any room to refuse, she had been dragged here half-forcibly and was now spending her days in boredom.
‘Marquis… will I really never see him again…?’
Although he was a high-ranking noble of the Sievern Kingdom, it was hard to expect him to come all the way to the Holy Kingdom to find her, especially to a place filled with Holy Knights and countless battle priests.
And yet… she wanted to see him again, even if it was just one more time.
No, to be honest, she wanted to take his cock in her mouth, just one more time.
However…
“Now, Lady Hero. Today, we will discuss the sanctuary and doctrines of Lady Lumeis… specifically, sacrifice and purification.”
As the High Priest standing before her began to speak in his low, gentle voice, Marienne's eyelids already felt heavy.
‘It's starting…’
The faint glint of light off the High Priest's round, bald head acted like a hypnotic spell on Marienne.
‘This bald octopus… why is even his way of speaking so drowsy…’
Though she cursed him inwardly, she nodded and tried her best to focus.
After the morning lessons ended, the next class was at least bearable. No, it was actually a time when she could properly relieve her stress.
“Ahem… Lady Hero, please… I beg you to go easy on me today…”
A middle-aged man with his hair slicked back neatly, wearing pristine white armor. Carbon, a Holy Knight of the Pale Star.
At a glance, he looked like a dignified knight, but right now, beads of cold sweat were forming on his forehead.
“Sir Carbon. Are you going to critique my swordsmanship again today?”
“…Ahem, didn't I already apologize for that on the first day? Lady Hero, you won't become a great person if you're so narrow-minded—Gah?! Lady Hero, where is the honor in attacking so suddenly?!”
Marienne's eyes sparkled as she swung her sword.
“Hmph. I still haven't forgotten the insult from that day. How dare you call the swordsmanship my master taught me… half-baked!”
“Th-that was a slip of the tongue…”
“This isn't stress relief… this is your punishment!”
“B-but just a moment ago, you said it was stress—Gah!!”
The wooden practice sword cut through the air once more. It was a simple slash, but its destructive power was on another level. The impact traveled straight through the sturdy armor, sending Carbon flying backward.
“Now, the rest of you Holy Knights, don't just stand there like idiots! Come at me!”
At Marienne's shout, the Holy Knights guarding the training ground squeezed their eyes shut.
That day, the training grounds of the Pale Dawn Holy Knights became a scene of pandemonium, filled with a mixture of screams and groans.
“Please…! Someone stop the Hero!!”
And, watching this scene quietly from a distance, was another.
The proxy of the Pale Star and the highest authority in Lienos. He watched the scene in the training grounds through a large window and cleared his throat lightly.
“Ahem… The Hero is certainly full of energy.”
The Pope listened to the screams coming from the training grounds below and smiled serenely.
“Contact the priests. Have them sent to the training grounds immediately to treat the Holy Knights.”
“Yes, Your Holiness.”
The priest beside him bowed respectfully and withdrew.
‘…At the very least, Lady Marienne is not a Hero of darkness.’
In his eyes, she was nothing more than a spirited young girl.
Marienne
