World War (1)
World War (1)
The ultimate weapon against men. As the Saintess revealed herself, the Queen furrowed her brows. Her movement was a violation of the international treaty.
Fortunately, she was wrapped up tightly from head to toe, leading an all-male group of Holy Knights.
In other words, if she used her abilities, her own forces would suffer even greater losses, so there was certainty she wouldn't do it.
The Queen stepped forward to the castle walls.
"Saintess, what brings you here?"
[Give me back my husband]
The Saintess silently raised the signboard in her hand. Give back my husband? What the hell did that mean?
To begin with, she couldn't even touch men, so husband? Was it the name of some new weapon?
And at that moment, a man's face flashed through the Queen's mind. The face of the man she'd been slurping on the dick of just moments ago...
'No way, him?'
Well, a normal guy couldn't seduce an elf, let alone conquer the Queen herself. Having somewhat accepted it, the Queen feigned ignorance and shook her head.
"Hmm, husband? Aren't you unable to touch men? Or... are you demanding an elf male? By bringing the Holy Knights?"
She shook her head no.
With her mouth sealed, the Saintess denied the Queen's words by shaking her head, then promptly flipped the signboard. Thrifty as ever, there were more words written on the back.
[An oracle came down. You took my husband]
'...As expected.'
At those words, the Queen realized Dojin was that very husband. How much of a femme fatale was he, seducing not just the Elf Queen but even the Saintess?
But the Queen, having once tasted Dojin's dick, desired him even more intensely than the Saintess did.
"Sorry, but... that husband of yours isn't here. Go home, Saintess. Or do you want to try war?"
Holy Knights? The Holy Kingdom's greatest force?
Come at her. This was the Great Forest, and she was the queen of all elves.
Daughter of the World Tree's favor, friend to the spirits.
In the Great Forest, she was confident she wouldn't lose even against a god.
Buuuu-
The Saintess puffed her cheeks while looking at the Queen like that. The Queen scowled at the sight. A beauty acting cute, thinking she's adorable—it was nothing but an irritating provocation to another woman.
The Elf Queen lightly swung her arm to summon spirits. This was right next to the World Tree, the place in the world with the most spirits living.
Soon, over a hundred spirits manifested, filling the area. An overwhelming number of spirits unleashed their attributes freely toward the Holy Knights, enough to inspire despair.
Flames rode the wind to become a firestorm, sweeping everything away.
Frozen pillars crushed everyone simply with their mass.
And against those spirits, the Saintess simply prayed.
Holy Knights weren't just fighters—they were pray-ers.
Through the power of their group prayer from hundreds, a barrier formed to protect them.
Kwaaaang-!
The phenomena crashing into the barrier scattered fragments everywhere, instantly turning the place into a battlefield.
The Elf Queen smiled at the Saintess who had lightly blocked her attack. Yeah, if she fell to something like that, it wouldn't be fun.
"Alright, since it's come to this. Let's see whether the goddess you believe in or our World Tree is the true god."
She bowed.
The Queen provoked, and the Saintess responded. Dojin, who had been watching the clash of the two women silently, quickly revealed himself and stepped between them.
"......!"
"You... how are you here?"
Dojin approached the Saintess slowly, seeing her surprise at not being able to make a sound because of the others.
The closer he got, the more he could feel a smile gracing her face hidden behind the veil. He could feel her heart pounding too.
Arriving before the Saintess, Dojin slowly reached out and stroked her head. Even through the veil, her soft, fluffy hair felt nice.
The Saintess, not knowing what to do, bowed her head and accepted Dojin's stroking. She didn't stop there, stretching her arms long to try hugging him.
And that's when Dojin flicked her forehead hard.
"──!?!"
The Saintess, clutching her head in pain and crouching down, looked up at Dojin with teary eyes full of grievance.
Dojin matched her eye level and spoke.
"You gotta know when to quit!"
Then he flicked her forehead once more.
Having subdued the Saintess in an instant, Dojin took her inside the World Tree where he and the Queen could talk as three.
The Queen scowled at the Saintess, displeased that another human besides Dojin had entered the World Tree.
But the Saintess ignored the Queen completely, clinging to Dojin like a cat and rubbing her cheek against him. The sight greatly irritated the Queen.
"So, Saintess, what was the point of coming all the way here?"
"Well, I received an oracle that my husband was here."
"─You, what......!"
Seeing the Saintess speak in front of a man, the Queen freaked out and looked at Dojin. But Dojin was calmly accepting the Saintess's affectionate antics.
'...What the hell?'
She'd thought he was safe from petrification because of the clothes in between, but now it seemed he might just be someone with a special ability immune to the Saintess's powers.
And the Queen couldn't easily believe such an ability holder existed. Who placed that curse on the Saintess? A god. She'd never heard of a Skill Holder born strong enough to overcome even a god's curse.
"......What exactly happened?"
"I said he's my husband, didn't I? Dojin-nim is the husband God destined for me!"
If the gods who kept trying to peep from heaven heard that, they'd clutch their necks. As she said it, the Saintess hugged Dojin's arm to her chest.
The Elf Queen scowled at the sight. Affection was fine, but he was the Queen's husband. Her master.
"Sorry, but he's my husband?"
"......Your husband?"
"Yeah, the master I gave my body and heart to."
"Master─!? ...Ahaha. Your Majesty, that's quite the joke."
The Saintess said that and looked at Dojin. He'd only kissed her, but with this elf he'd just met, they'd gone all the way??
Her brain, hit with unbelievably shocking info, immediately triggered cognitive dissonance. The Queen was just a one-night whore to enjoy and discard, while she was the wife he'd cherish and love forever.
Sex? That could be done anytime. Vaginas that got worn out the more you used them. Better a brand-new virgin pussy still in the wrapper than a used-up rag pussy like discarded tissue.
"Anyway, your husband came here on his own, we didn't bring him. So get lost."
"Ahaha, can't do that. The church threw a fit that someone from another race kidnapped him per the oracle, so they dragged me here─."
If she returned to the church without results now, she'd have to do penance in the confessional room for a hundred days. For a Saintess with little faith, that was real torture, true agony.
So she was taking Dojin now. No arguments.
"Refuse and it's war."
"......Bold, you god-spreading whore."
"Oh my, I'm still a fresh virgin, you know?"
Dojin, who had been quietly listening to the two, suddenly had a question pop up, so he grabbed the Saintess and asked.
"Hey."
"Yes! Hubby♡"
"To get here, you had to punch through beastkin territory. How'd you do it?"
"─Ah."
Hearing that, the Saintess went 'oh crap' and pulled a crystal ball from her bosom. Pouring holy power into it connected her to someone on the other end.
[May God be with you. Saintess-nim. We received your call.]
"Ah, Anna?"
[Yes, that's me.]
"What's Charlotte doing?"
[Captain Charlotte is fighting the Gumiho right now.]
"Tell her it's over, she can withdraw."
[Understood. May God be with you.]
After cutting the comms, the Saintess beamed a bright smile like it was all good now and clung to Dojin.
But Dojin and the Queen, who had heard the whole conversation right next to her, didn't look so bright.
"......Hey, you didn't. You just barged in without permission, did you?"
"Huh? Of course? The beastkin wouldn't let us through."
"You crazy bitch!"
Startled, Dojin scooped up the Saintess and bolted out of the Great Forest. The Holy Knights, facing off against the elves at the forest boundary, freaked out seeing Dojin running out with the Saintess.
"Saintess-nim!?"
"You bastard─! What did you do to Saintess-nim!"
"Shut up! If you don't want war, follow me!"
What kind of group was this? They seemed more concerned about the Saintess moving somewhere than the fact they'd picked a fight with the beastkin.
Dojin found the sight utterly ridiculous. These god-believers, was it okay to ignore beastkin like this?
'Well, fanatics are like that.'
They probably thought their god was the truth, the whole world. And they saw the Saintess, loved by that god, as some divine sage under God's grace.
That's how they could invade someone else's territory so casually!
Dojin prayed it wasn't too late as he raced into beastkin territory.
He had no thanks for a world war breaking out because of him.
Chaeang-!
A holy greatsword forged with holy water got smacked by a tail and bounced off. A physically and realistically unbelievable sight, but Charlotte casually added rotation and swung her sword.
Buuuung─!
The Gumiho dodged the blow that could pulverize a mountain effortlessly and closed in, grabbing Charlotte's wrist and locking eyes.
Even she, resisting seduction through God's strong blessing, couldn't handle this proximity.
'Come on, I'll make you my slave too......!'
Pukeok!
The Gumiho took a helmet butt to the face, clutched her nose, and staggered back. A huge opening. Charlotte didn't let that glaring gap slip.
"Die, beast."
Chwaaak─! The greatsword slashed down, cutting the Gumiho. But the moment she did, Charlotte realized what she'd cut wasn't real, but fake.
'......When the hell?'
"Owie... You fight so brutish, little girl."
The Gumiho appeared far away, nose bleeding profusely. Even that was overly erotic. But to her, tempered by the Saintess, female charms didn't work.
Charlotte wordlessly thrust her sword forward. The opponent was no one to underestimate. Get careless, and she'd be soul-enchanted, becoming a slave who'd throw away her life at a touch.
'I just wanna run......'
She sighed deeply inwardly. She didn't even know why she was doing this. If the Saintess hadn't led the Holy Knights straight into the great plains to rescue Dojin, she'd be resting at home right now.
And then, a nun on comms duty from behind delivered a message.
"Captain Charlotte."
"......What?"
"Retreat."
"Who said?"
Her mouth curved into a grin she tried to suppress as she asked back. Luckily, the nun gave the answer she wanted.
"Saintess-nim."
"......No choice. We'll retreat first─."
"Oh my, you think I'll just let you go?"
Then the Gumiho charged, tackling Charlotte. Charlotte blocked her while checking the other Holy Knights.
They were pooling their strength to hold off the beastkin. Even with three times the numbers, holding their own was the limit.
In other words, the moment a breach opened anywhere, the battlefield would collapse, leading to total annihilation.
'......Damn.'
No helping it. Charlotte yelled strongly, ordering her troops.
"All hands! Retreat-!"
At her words, the Holy Knights immediately sacrificed a limb to fall back. The waiting clerics quickly regenerated their limbs, and even the holy metal-forged armor regenerated the same way.
In an instant, ready to retreat, they asked Charlotte.
"Captain! Ready!"
"......Go on ahead."
"Huh? But......"
"Hurry!"
Someone had to hold off the beastkin here. Charlotte thought it was her duty.
And if they made pointless sacrifices, God would chew them out.
Watching the retreating Holy Knights and the beastkin surrounding her, Charlotte gave a bitter smile.
'Saintess-nim, wait for me in heaven.'
Thinking that if she went to heaven, she'd make the Saintess her subordinate this time, Charlotte began her last stand.
"Come on."
"Not yeeet!"
