The Human Prey
"Aaaaargh!"
—Squelch!
The exhausted adventurer couldn't withstand our pincer attack. With Sharan and me striking from the front and back simultaneously, he collapsed, defeated. A human only has one body; they can't win a two-on-one fight.
"Phew! That's it!"
Tracking down and killing the two fleeing human adventurers hadn't been difficult. They were tired, but the humans were even more exhausted than we were. Since they were separated, we were able to force a two-on-one engagement and pick them off one by one. Stupid fools. If you fall behind from the group, you die. That's the common sense of the wild—why don't they know that?
—Thump.
I was completely drained now.
I sat down on the spot to take a short rest.
"Ma-wang-nim, are you tired?"
"I'll be fine if I rest for a bit. But what about you, Sharan?"
"Sharan is okay."
"Sit next to me."
"Yes, Ma-wang-nim."
Sharan sat right beside me and leaned her head against my shoulder. She must be even more exhausted than I am. I stroked her as I caught my breath.
"..."
The dead human.
If I could, I would have liked to take this one as a prisoner, too. We already have the nun, but the more informants, the better. You need a larger pool of humans to verify the truth of the information you acquire.
But the conditions weren't right. We were exhausted. Since we were operating as a duo, there was no way we could have taken a prisoner. Subduing someone without killing them is a very difficult task.
The only reason we were able to subdue the nun was because we overwhelmed her with sheer numbers. Anyway, let's be satisfied with the nun for now.
"Sharan, let's hide these corpses for now. We can't carry them all back today. We'll come back to get them later."
We were too tired to haul all the bodies. I'd have to rest for a day and then bring the Imps and Kobolds to do the heavy lifting.
"Hide the corpses?"
"Yeah."
"Then let's move them into the tall grass first. That way, we can hide them."
"Good idea."
I stood up immediately, dragged the adventurer's corpse, and tossed it into the tall grass. Then:
"Shaaaa."
Sharan used her magic to make the grass grow a bit more, covering the body.
"Heh heh, as expected of our Sharan. You're just too precious."
"Sha-sha."
Her magic usage and power had definitely increased compared to the past. It was all thanks to the constant supply of my White Essence.
"Alright then. Let's hide the body of the guy we killed earlier and head back."
"Yes, Ma-wang-nim."
After hiding all the hunted corpses, we returned to where Buril was waiting.
"Hey, Buril. No problems, right?"
"Keruk!"
Checking in, there were no particular issues. The ones lying there as if in a vegetative state were still the same. Currently, the Goblins were standing guard with weapons in hand, following Buril's command.
"Well done. You really are my right-hand man. You're the best, seriously."
"Kerurung."
"We've got a lot to do, so let's just suffer through the next few days. When it's over, I'll give you plenty of mana."
"Keruk!"
Good.
I immediately checked the nun's condition.
"Nun. Are you coming to your senses?"
"Ugh... Hnnng..."
The nun, stripped naked and restrained, was just sobbing while lying face down. But right now, her large, snow-white buttocks were trembling violently.
"Grrr."
Seeing that, I felt a sensation as if my insides were boiling. It was as if an impulse was surging from within... Was it hostility? And power began to gather in my lower body.
No.
This isn't the time to think about that.
"Alright, everyone! Clean this place up, erase our tracks, and let's head home! We won!"
"Keruk!"
There were three more corpses to hide. Today's harvest was one nun and five adventurer corpses. It was a bit unsettling, but let's come back tomorrow to retrieve the loot. For now, we'd leave the bodies and items hidden.
"Ah, damn it. This is seriously fucking exhausting."
I helped the mobile Goblins clear the area. From now on, we had to drag the nun along, too. We also had to carry the unconscious Goblins.
It was going to be a tough journey. I had no strength left and my mana was depleted. Still, we had to make it back.
My vision is blurry.
Back when I was in the military... there was a time we had to march in full gear on a day of torrential rain. Soaked uniforms and heavy packs. And water rising up to our ankles... We kept walking and walking. What I'm feeling right now is exactly that same sensation.
Whenever we took a break during the march, we would all collapse without hesitation onto the road that had turned into a stream. It was dirty rainwater, but... when that cold water seeped into our clothes and cooled down our overheated bodies, it felt better than anything else. We stayed submerged in that water for the entire break.
"Ma, Ma-wang?! What's wrong!"
Yeah.
Just like right now.
Is it warm? Or is it cold? Soft water wrapped around my entire body. The source of the water was none other than Lumika. Her embrace was as warm as a mother's. It couldn't even be compared to that rainwater back then.
"Wait! Wake up!"
Lumika's voice is fading away.
My eyes are closing on their own.
I need to rest now...
"...Huh?!"
My eyes snap open!
"Ah, Ma-wang. You're up?"
"Lumika?!"
"Just lie still for a moment."
I looked to the side and saw a naked Lumika lying there.
What the hell?
"What happened to me?"
"You fell asleep the moment you arrived."
Oh, did I? I tried to retrace my hazy memories. I had returned in a daze, and I must have fallen asleep while being held by Lumika. Time had passed in the blink of an eye.
"Ah, man. I just passed out. More importantly, Lumika. Did you protect all of us?"
"Protect is a strong word... everyone came back so exhausted..."
She took care of us.
"Thanks for taking care of us. I made you worry. I'm sorry."
"I-it's not like I was worried or anything!"
She's being a tsundere.
"Ah, man, I'm tired from nursing everyone all night. Sharan and the other Goblins, I took care of them all. Ma-wang, this is for you."
—Swoosh.
Lumika groped my erect cock.
"You know you have to pay me back with White Essence, right?"
"Would I ever refuse? I'll feed you plenty."
"Yeah. Do that. But what about that human female?"
"Ah."
Right.
"What did you do with her?"
"I tied her up tighter and laid her in the room. Sharan told me to keep her guarded."
"Good. No problems there. Well done, Lumika. I'll organize her identity and tell you later."
"Okay. Ah, but what about the other Goblins?"
"About that..."
I briefly explained what happened yesterday.
Lumika had already heard from Sharan, but it seemed she hadn't heard the whole story. Sharan was lying next to me now, too. It looked like she had only said a few words before passing out from exhaustion.
"I see... It's okay. I took care of all the Goblins, too."
"Thank you."
It's really comfortable having a woman waiting for me at home.
With that feeling, I stroked Lumika's cheek.
"I-it tickles..."
"Heh heh heh."
Anyway, maybe it's because I slept soundly while being nursed by Lumika all night, but my body felt revitalized. My mana was recovered, too. At this rate, I could get back to work.
"But I don't really feel hungry. Lumika? Did you feed me while I was sleeping?"
"Huh?!"
"What's with the reaction? Why are you so surprised?"
Lumika, who had suddenly turned red, reacted as if she were startled.
"N-no... it's nothing. I gave you water."
"Is that so?"
What is it?
"Well, let's check the dungeon."
I stood up, stretched briefly, and looked around my dungeon. Sharan was sleeping soundly beside me, and the Goblins were also fast asleep in their barracks.
"..."
The ones in a vegetative state were also lying side-by-side in one place. These guys... they'll probably only wake up if I continuously inject mana into them. Don't worry. I'll make sure to wake you all up.
"Oh! Im-monkey, Gyu-il. Have you been well?"
"Kkeureuk!"
"Gyu-sat!"
I'm so glad to see these guys, too.
—Bounce!
They seemed happy to see me, bouncing up and down. But they kept grabbing my wrist and pointing in a certain direction.
"Kkeureuk!"
They seemed a bit scared.
"Ah."
They're wary of the nun. It's understandable to be wary of a human.
"Wait here. I'll go check on that woman."
They said the nun was in a small room I'd made for temporary use. I headed straight there. When I entered the room, sure enough:
"..."
The naked nun was lying there, restrained even more tightly. As I entered, her eyes flickered open.
"Are you awake?"
"...You son of a bitch."
Her voice was filled with hostility and killing intent.
"Is it really appropriate to be spewing insults first thing in the morning?"
Despite her fierce attitude, the nun was naked... She had a great body. Large breasts, a slender waist, and hips and buttocks built for easy childbirth. Above all, her nipples and the pussy visible between her labia majora were all pink.
Is she really a nun?
Her body is too lewd.
"Don't look at me with those disgusting eyes!"
"Ah."
Of course, the nun's body wasn't the important thing right now. I moved close to her and brought my face near her solar plexus.
"Kyaaaack! Fuck! Get away! Get away!"
—Jiggle jiggle!
The nun shook her body as if having a seizure. It didn't matter; the restraints were tight. There was no way she could move. Instead, her large breasts jiggled wildly and slapped against my face.
"Fuck! Fuuuuuck! I'll kill you!"
"..."
What kind of service is this?
Or is this a dance of surrender?
—Jiggle jiggle!
The nun continued to shake her upper body with all her might, massaging my face with her breasts. Should I just... enjoy myself to my heart's content using her body? It excited me enough to make me think that.
"...A fine service indeed."
"What?"
"Your breasts are massaging my face. Are you trying to seduce me?"
"Whaaaat?!"
The nun's face turned beet red in an instant.
"Don't talk bullshit! Who would want to seduce someone like you!"
Seriously.
"As expected of a demon, your head is filled with nothing but perverted filth! God will punish you! You fucking bastard!"
She's full of energy.
Still.
The nun's holy power. I couldn't feel it at all. I wanted to confirm that right now. It would be troublesome if the nun woke up, recovered her strength, and regained her superhuman abilities.
But it didn't happen at all. I couldn't feel a single unpleasant aura. Well, I suppose that makes sense. How could she recover in this situation? She's starving, exhausted, and restrained.
Anyway, this is a relief.
"Nun. Has your strength not recovered?"
"..."
"Without that power, you're just an ordinary human woman. Isn't that right?"
"Shut up!"
She's still so fierce.
"I need to make you a little more docile."
That's the only way I'll be able to interrogate her.
"Ha! Do you think I'll submit? You can rape me, but you can't break my faith, you evil little shit!"
A woman restrained while naked talks quite fiercely. But... the nun's face was truly beautiful, too. She was a beauty with sharp, piercing eyes.
"We'll see about that. I'll be interrogating you starting today. I have a lot of questions."
"Do you think I'll answer them? You fucking rapist piece of shit?"
"Your mouth is quite foul. Is a nun allowed to talk like that?"
"Shut your mouth!"
Why is she so fierce?
"Grrr."
Listening to her, a fierce desire surged from within. For some reason, it was hard to suppress my lust.
How should I interrogate her?
Torture? Humiliation?
"Grrr...!"
Something.
My blood was craving something. This was sexual desire. Memories of Sharan, Lumika, and Serineu flashed through my mind.
I felt my strength grow stronger every time I satisfied my desires by rubbing against them, ejaculating to feel pleasure, and sucking on their nectar.
If so.
Wouldn't it be the same for the nun?
If I enjoy myself to my heart's content using this nun's body, wouldn't my strength be enhanced? It's worth experimenting.
"I will definitely take revenge. I'll cut open your demon bellies and rip out your intestines..."
The moment I touched the nun's stomach:
—Twitch!
"Kyaa!"
The nun twitched violently and shut her mouth.
"Rip out what?"
—Rub rub.
As I rubbed her stomach like that:
"Hnn, hnnng...! Hnn!"
The nun, who had been glaring at me and shouting fiercely just a moment ago, turned her head to the side, bit her lip, and sobbed.
The gap here is quite extreme.
"Kkuh! Just kill me! Kill me! You dirty rapist bastard!"
"It sounds like you're begging me to rape you."
"Shut up!"
The interrogation seems like it will take a while.
So, I should take care of the urgent business first.
"Anyway. Look forward to what's coming. If you don't talk, you'll only suffer more. Nun."
I walked out of the room immediately.
First, I'll eat. Then I'll take Gyu-il's unit and the Im-monkey unit to retrieve the corpses and loot I hid yesterday. Then I'll come home, tidy things up, and proceed with the interrogation in earnest.
It's going to be a painful time for the nun.
