Chapter 13 Plunder
Plunder
"Are we finally setting out?"
Not just me, but the Demon King's Army also seemed bored with staying at the Church. Truth be told, these weren't the types to settle in one place. Most of them were battle-hungry by nature, preferring to roam and fight.
"That's right. First, we'll conquer the nearest kingdom."
"War! Blood! Slaughter!"
But there was a problem. I wasn't exactly well-versed in geography.
'Where is the nearest kingdom anyway?'
When you thought about it, it made sense I wouldn't know—I was just a transmigrator after all. I immediately turned to Beatrice. My gaze demanded she spit out whatever information she had.
"......If you go just a bit further from here, you'll reach Lake Reikal. At the center of Lake Reikal lies the underwater nation of Rubalu."
"Rubalu?"
It sounded vaguely familiar. If I recalled correctly, it was a nation where most of its citizens were fishermen. The only notable thing about it was that fish-people and humans coexisted there.
"Yes."
"Then that's where we'll go."
But the ones hesitating were none other than the demons themselves.
"Um... Grand General?"
"What's the matter?"
"If it's an underwater nation, it won't be easy to approach. Wyverns can't fly near water—their wings grow too heavy."
"Hmm, does the Church have any ships lying around?"
"They don't."
It would've been strange for a landlocked Church to have ships in the first place. The one who proposed a solution was Beatrice.
"Since Lake Reikal is a massive lake connected to the sea, pirates run rampant around it. Why don't we just plunder a ship from them?"
"Not a bad idea. Wait, no—you're a Saintess. Should a Saintess really be thinking about plundering?"
"I may be a Saintess, but you're demons. And more importantly, you're the one who made me like this."
"What did I do?"
"......That."
Beatrice couldn't bring herself to say it. Truth be told, the only thing I'd done was fuck her until her pussy swelled up.
"Let's go with the Saintess's suggestion for now. We'll head to Lake Reikal and plunder the pirates' ships. Any demons object?"
"Plunder! Blood! Chaos! Destruction!"
As expected, the demons were as peaceful(?) as ever.
Fortunately, after combing through the Church's records, we managed to gather detailed information about the pirates' hideouts and forces. It seemed even the Church couldn't just ignore the pirates.
"These records are well-organized. They'll be a big help."
"The pirates needed to be dealt with quickly, so if it weren't for the Ishtar Kingdom incident, an extermination force would've been assembled long ago."
The fact that they hadn't been wiped out yet worked in our favor.
Lake Reikal wasn't too far. We could reach it by wyvern.
"Lake Reikal is in sight!"
"Let's get ready."
***
Despite being a lake, Lake Reikal was wider than most seas. Of course, that was precisely why pirates could operate here and why a nation could exist within its waters.
I gazed at the distant structures. Tower-like buildings made of wood came into view. Perhaps due to the sea breeze from the nearby ocean, their color had faded considerably.
"Alright, which demons will join me in raiding the pirates' hideout?"
Several raised their hands. But we couldn't take everyone. Some had to manage the wyverns, and we couldn't all swarm into Rubalu at once. We needed a balanced force.
Soon, the team was decided.
Me, the Succubus Queen, and a few demon soldiers. Most were mages. Given the underwater nature of the mission, having more magic users would help account for variables.
Of course, the sex slave in my arms was coming along too.
"Hey, slut, what kind of bastards are those guys?"
Beatrice immediately flipped through the documents and answered.
"The Big Hand Pirates. According to records, they're the largest pirate faction."
"So if we just kill them, that's enough, right?"
I grinned. Zagan, standing beside me, also drew his twin swords.
"Grand General, we can kill them all, right?"
"Leave just enough alive to steer the ships."
"Kehehe, understood!"
With a wave of my hand, the demons immediately stormed the pirates' hideout. I charged in as well.
"These bastards have some nerve! Daring to target us!"
Schlick!
The first pirate who rushed out was cleanly bisected by a single swing of Tyrfing. The elite demon forces swiftly boarded the pirate ships.
The stench of blood hung thick in the air. Most of it came from the pirates' corpses.
"Demons?! Where the hell did demons come from?!"
"Captain! We can't win this!"
"Hold out! Just hold out until the pirate alliance arrives!"
There was no way mere pirates could handle high-ranking demons. In the end, they panicked, scrambling to flee. But escaping from a ship in the middle of the water was impossible. They were rats trapped in a barrel.
The demons exuded a viscous demonic energy as they cut down the pirates.
I was no different. Just as I had slain dozens of pirates—
[Deep resentment strengthens Tyrfing.]
[You have gained experience through slaughter.]
[Your level has increased.]
'Oh?'
It had been quite a while since I last leveled up. Back when I was trying to raise my level, I hunted all sorts of monsters, but the progress was painfully slow.
But now, after killing just a handful of humans, my level immediately increased. It seemed that killing humans granted more experience than slaying monsters.
'Status Window!'
[Kim Jin-woo]
[Physique: 81, Agility: 81, Magic Power: 71, Virility: 51]
[Available Points: 5]
'Hmm, what should I raise?'
I pondered for a moment. If a stat surpassed 101, it would unlock a new skill. But was that urgent right now? Not really.
The stat that had shown the most immediate effect so far was Virility.
'If I'm thinking about making more sex slaves, raising Virility is the right call, isn't it?'
There was no need for further deliberation. I immediately allocated all 5 points to Virility.
[Kim Jin-woo]
[Physique: 81, Agility: 81, Magic Power: 71, Virility: 56]
'Satisfactory.'
I wasn't sure how big the difference would be, but at the very least, I figured I'd be able to go at least one more round.
***
Most of the pirates had surrendered. I supposed they were just trying to cling to their lives.
But the surviving pirates were excellent sources of experience, so I had no intention of letting them live.
In the end, the only ones left alive fell into two categories: those who had the skills to operate the ship, or those with decently attractive faces.
Of course, the good-looking ones were destined to be my sex slaves for the night.
"Succubus Queen, stop sucking energy for a moment and take care of the ship."
"Get someone else to do it."
"This bitch—"
The Succubus Queen ignored the Grand General's orders. I made a mental note to pay her back for this later.
In the end, Zagan was left to handle the ship. Though he appeared male, he had little interest in looting, which suited me just fine.
My gaze naturally drifted toward the women tied up on the deck. Some were captives kidnapped by the pirates, but most were female pirates themselves.
The good thing was that there was an all-female pirate crew within the pirate alliance. Their looks were fairly decent.
"What a beautiful sight."
Dozens of women were bound naked on the deck, their arms and legs tied in a way that made it impossible for them to close their legs. Seeing them tied up like that immediately got a reaction out of me.
"Sex slave, should I tie you up like that too?"
"Eek! N-no, please!"
Beatrice seemed to dislike bondage. I immediately approached the women. Their hands were tied, so they couldn't even resist.
Their faces were quite appealing. But perhaps due to their pirate lifestyle, they hadn't taken care of themselves—their faces were covered in freckles. Not my preference, but I could overlook it.
My hand immediately groped the pirate's chest. They were smaller than Beatrice's—probably around a B to C cup.
But after living a life of constant killing, their well-defined eleven-pack abs were surprisingly attractive. Seeing that, I could easily overlook their smaller chests.
Their waistlines weren't bad either.
As if sensing her fate, the woman tightly shut her eyes.
"Scared?"
"I'm not scared. As a pirate, I've long prepared myself for this kind of end."
She might have prepared for her death, but she definitely hadn't anticipated my cock.
I immediately pulled out my fully erect shaft. The woman flinched in shock.
"Let's take a look at that pussy first."
When I forced her legs apart, her protruding clitoris came into view. Her pubic hair was unkempt and thick, and her labia were noticeably spread.
She didn't seem to be a virgin. My excitement cooled a bit. Expecting a pirate who roamed the seas to be a virgin was stupid in the first place.
"Hey, sex slave, suck my dick."
"Huh? Y-yes..."
Beatrice immediately took my cock into her mouth. Thanks to her saliva, it was nicely lubricated.
Since the pirates didn't interest me much, I didn't feel like taking my time with foreplay. I thrust in immediately.
Thrust! Thrust! Thrust!
"Ugh! Hahk! Hah! Aaah!"
With each movement of my hips, her moans grew louder. Honestly, her tightness wasn't anything special.
A sex slave was still the best. I came shortly after. Despite the mediocre sensation, the volume of my release was surprisingly substantial. Probably because I had raised my Virility by 5 points.
"It's too much..."
The pirate's lower belly bulged outward. The thought that it was all swollen with my cum was quite satisfying. When I pulled out, semen gushed out of her lower body. Pressing down on her belly made it flow like a faucet had been turned on.
The other bitches weren't much different.
