Chapter 8. Samura Gorge
Ji-hyuk's performance stood out head and shoulders above the rest. It wasn't just that he fought well—he crushed the monsters with overwhelming superiority. And all with a mere human body. The two captains, with their keen eyes, saw right through him: he wasn't some ordinary human. He was stronger than even they were.
After the second battle, the group tidied up the gruesome surroundings. This time, Ji-hyuk praised Yael for handling things without panicking.
"That's exactly how you do it. So why'd you fuck up before when you could handle it now?"
"It's all thanks to everyone holding the line so firmly in front of me."
It wasn't wrong, either. With Gid, Kayak, and Gorsh acting as a solid shield up front, she'd been able to chant her spells without interruption and finish them safely.
"Your accuracy still needs work, though. The chanting was fine, but that precision was shit."
"Yes, I'll practice harder."
"Good. Seeing you improve puts my mind at ease. ...Let's keep it up from here on out, yeah?"
"Yes, you did great too, Captain."
Ji-hyuk patted Yael's shoulder and returned to his spot. Gid, meanwhile, was busy bragging about his own exploits.
"Everyone did well."
"But man, our captain? He's on another fucking level, right? Tell me I'm wrong."
Gid swept his gaze over the others, fishing for agreement. Even Kayak looked stunned. They'd known their captain was strong, but this was beyond imagination.
"Not for nothing is he called a hero."
"...Comparing me to your average hero feels kinda insulting."
"Anyway, we know for sure now that the captain's insanely strong. ...I was worried when he said he was going after the demon, but now I can relax a bit."
"You think I'd throw myself into something I couldn't handle?"
"That's what we thought."
Everyone chuckled softly. Yawn—. With the tension easing, yawns started spreading. One by one, they lay back down. Ji-hyuk lingered by the fire a bit longer before being the last to bed down.
But a nagging feeling—like someone was watching—kept sleep at bay. Fuckin' demon bastard... If it wanted to fight, just come at him. What kind of perverted hobby was skulking around like a voyeur? If it was gonna do that, at least hide its presence properly.
Then, from somewhere, a strange cry echoed.
Meeeh—. Meeeeehhh—.
It sounded like a goat. That's when Ji-hyuk realized the demon's identity: the demon Azgul. He bolted upright. Yael stirred at the noise and sat up quietly.
"Captain...?"
"Didn't hear anything?"
"...Huh?"
Ji-hyuk scanned the surroundings. The caravan group hadn't noticed the cry.
"...Nah, forget it. Go back to sleep. Get some rest."
"Okay."
Yael lay down again. Ji-hyuk slowly shifted his gaze to the holy sword. It must have provoked Azgul somehow.
Meeeh—.
He forced himself to sleep. In his dream, he saw the demon: a goat-headed thing with a woman's body, swinging a forearm-thick cock as it approached. It suddenly flopped down in front of him and spread its legs. Between its thighs, instead of balls, a ripe, swollen red pussy throbbed invitingly. It was a hermaphrodite.
Meeeeeh—.
The demon tempted him to shove his cock in. Ugh, fuck—. Ji-hyuk couldn't suppress the surging lust. His dick throbbed, rock-hard. Meeeeehhh—.
The goat head melted away, morphing into something else. A beautiful fairy... his mentor, Eizel.
"Ji-hyuk."
That's not my mentor...
"Ji-hyuk, fuck my pussy."
That's not my fuckin' mentor—!
"Come on, Ji-hyuk. You've always wanted to shove it in your mentor's pussy, haven't you?"
The demon spread its smooth, plump labia wide with both hands. The glistening pink inside looked more delicious than anything.
"Pound me senseless. Fuck me like an animal, Ji-hyuk..."
One step at a time, Ji-hyuk approached the demon.
"That's it. Good boy."
He stomped barefoot right onto her pussy. Ahhn—. A lewd moan escaped. The warm, slick sensation of pussy flesh squished under his sole. Ji-hyuk felt a twisted pleasure in trampling his fairy mentor's thick labia.
She writhed underfoot, letting out pathetic, slutty whimpers.
"Yes, good, more, more."
But Ji-hyuk didn't go further. Only then did the demon sense something off.
"Ji-hyuk? Won't you fuck me now? Don't tease your horny mentor."
"Fuck off, you demon piece of shit."
"...What?"
The fairy's face twisted in an instant. The goat head reappeared, along with the massive cock. Ji-hyuk kicked that filthy dick hard with his foot. It swung back with elastic bounce.
Meeehh—!!
The demon sprang up. How dare you defile my genitals like that—! It charged at Ji-hyuk, intent on devouring him.
Somehow, the cursed holy sword was in Ji-hyuk's hand. He cleaved the demon's torso in two.
Meeeeeh—!!
He woke with the demon's scream. Hah—. Covered in cold sweat, Ji-hyuk sat up. It was still the quiet pre-dawn. He wiped his face and glanced around. Everyone was still deep in dreamland. His cock stood rigid, still raging from arousal.
He got up and headed into the woods. The watchman glanced his way but figured he was just taking a piss and looked away. Ji-hyuk pulled down his pants a bit, gripped his throbbing dick, and started jerking.
It was kinda fucked up, but he needed to bust one out first. At least he'd gotten one over on that demon bastard—he'd take satisfaction in that.
Ji-hyukkk—.
Eizel's face made his mood complicated. But it was just a fantasy in his head—what was wrong with imagining fucking his mentor a little? Mentor, your worthless disciple's in a bind here. Mind lending me your pussy for a sec?
He stroked furiously and came hard. A wave of emptiness and embarrassment hit, but he shook it off quick. More important things now.
Rise-and-shine time came soon. Everyone woke with grim expressions. Nightmares were the new normal. The group scarfed a quick breakfast and packed up camp. Dark clouds hung overhead, making the day even drearier. The mood sank lower.
"Fuckin' hell, at least let us see the sun," Gid muttered at the overcast sky. Everyone felt the same.
Before lunch, another monster wave hit—bigger numbers, tougher foes. It felt like they were sinking deeper into a quagmire.
"We should hurry," said Kayak, usually tight-lipped. Better to escape this place a day sooner. The caravan seemed to agree, cutting rests short and pushing harder. More fatigue, but just a few days to endure—they gritted their teeth.
After a quick lunch, they clashed with yet another wave. This time, the first casualty: a caravan guard. Tense dread hung over them. Who'd be next? No one could say.
No real sunlight, just another cold night. They huddled by the campfire, thawing chilled bodies.
"Fuuuck..."
Bald-headed Gid let out a long sigh laced with curses, thrusting his hands toward the flames.
"Everyone knows it's our turn tonight? Two at a time, rotating."
"Five people—that leaves one out, right?"
"I'll take first and second watch, double shift."
"You sure?"
"It's fine."
Leading by example, like a true captain. Everyone followed suit. Bedtime came. They sprawled out in whatever was comfy. Ji-hyuk and Yael took first watch.
"You did good today. Getting better."
"Thanks to the team."
"I know you're putting in the effort."
Ji-hyuk knew to mix carrot with the stick. Yael pretended otherwise, but he could tell she was pleased. Conversation died there.
Woooh—. A beastly howl echoed from afar. They both tensed. Ji-hyuk recalled yesterday's dream demon: Azgul, demon of lust and sloth. Hermaphrodite, fucking anything—male, female, even monsters. This mess was its doing. Alone, it couldn't pierce the dimensional barrier; cultists must've summoned it.
This is why we gotta exterminate every last demon cult fucker. They exploited desperate humans' greed, promising wishes via demons. Most fell in to revive loved ones. All became sacrifices for the ritual.
Ji-hyuk was certain: demon cult behind this. ...Azgul sweet-talking its worshippers again. It was biding its time for revenge after that dream smackdown. Demons didn't let shit slide.
Ji-hyuk scanned sharply now and then. The air grew thicker with malice. Ngh, ugh—. Groans of nightmare-plagued sleepers everywhere. Yael's eyes darted anxiously with each one.
Moonlight vanished. Darkness fell like drawn curtains in a lightless room. Campfires were their only lifeline.
...It's coming.
A sinister demonic aura crept in. Even sensitive Yael felt the unease.
"C-Captain...?"
"Shh."
Ji-hyuk pressed a finger to his lips, sharpening his senses.
Meeeh—.
A faint cry. Fuck yeah... time to end this. Ji-hyuk grinned wickedly. Yael's heart skipped at how chilling it looked.
"They're coming. Wake everyone."
"Huh? Oh, right—!"
"Rise! Rise!" Yael shouted. The group sprang up like they'd been waiting. Shallow sleep from tension. Ji-hyuk's crew roused fast too. Gid cracked his stiff neck side to side, spewing thick curses.
"Fuuuck, it finally showed."
They geared up swiftly. Goosebumps rose as a formidable presence spread. No pushover—this was Azgul, not some weakened Balrog. Long descended, it'd regained power.
This fight won't be easy.
Wooooh—. Monsters swarmed from all sides, numbers staggering. Ah.... Yael's face paled to ash.
"Stick to your role. You won't die. Trust your comrades and hold."
Gid, Kayak, Gorsh—top-notch. With Yael supporting from back, they could repel without heavy losses.
Then, something massive thudded from afar.
Meeeeehhh—.
Everyone heard the goat cry clear now. A timid porter convulsed, dick springing erect. He yanked down his pants and jerked wildly.
What the fu—! Everyone recoiled. More followed. The demon's mere presence warped them.
Meeeeehhh—.
A goat head emerged slowly. Below, luscious tits; lower still, a horse-cock throbbing with veins.
"Ahhk...!"
Yael orgasmed faintly at the sight, moaning. Heat flooded her body. She went mad with urge to suck cock. The impulse hit out of nowhere, drug-like, irresistible. Ahh—.
She stepped toward Ji-hyuk unthinkingly. Pussy drooling, teeth chattering.
Ji-hyuk checked his crew—just in case. Yael looked off. Fuck—.
He rushed over and slapped her hard.
"Ow."
Her glazed eyes cleared a bit. But her aroused body wouldn't settle.
"Snap out of it?!"
Spheres of light floated up—mercenary mages' work. Ji-hyuk ordered Yael to light things up. She focused, chanted quick, and summoned orbs. The demon recoiled from the glare but didn't retreat. It wanted a decisive clash.
"Kayak, guard Yael. Gid, draw the monsters' aggro. Gorsh, keep heals on Gid—he drops, we're done. No mistakes. Yael, fire magic on them."
They prepped per orders. Ji-hyuk's final words:
"Hold till the end."
With that, the monsters charged en masse.
