Chapter 131: Catch That Container (2)
Chapter 131: Catch That Container (2)
Even if this world was a reality based on a game, there was one principle that remained consistent.
When the opponent is vulnerable, strike with everything you’ve got!
That is the absolute fundamental of raiding!
[Hyaaa!]
I charged forward with a shout.
Before Desmonica of Spawning could fully right herself, I sprinted straight between her legs.
"Y-you...!!"
Desmonica of Spawning hurriedly clamped her legs shut.
She tried to deal with my frontal assault by closing her thighs to block my path.
"You cowardly bastards!"
[Cowardly? I’d call it wise.]
Or perhaps she was acting to protect the egg that was just about to emerge.
[You have a lovely voice, at least.]
Either way, this was an opportunity—
And a crisis.
Slap!
Desmonica’s movements were faster than I expected.
Her thighs slammed shut in an instant, the sound of flesh hitting flesh echoing through the entire cavern.
Being caught in the middle, I was bound to be crushed between those thighs if I stayed still.
I don’t mind being buried in thighs, but I’ll pass on having my body flattened.
[Not a chance.]
Before her thighs could close, I had already leaped off the ground.
Using the floor as a springboard like a gymnast, I vaulted upward and landed firmly on Desmonica’s pubic bone.
"!!"
Desmonica’s eyes instantly filled with shock.
It was probably her first time being ambushed while spawning, let alone having someone climb onto her body.
[Consider yourself lucky. If you weren't smooth down there, I would’ve ripped your hair out.]
I immediately sprinted forward.
Being right-handed, Desmonica hurriedly pulled back her arm and swung the back of her hand at me like she was swatting a fly—
Thwack!
The Vorpal Rabbit dashed forward and swung its axe at the back of Desmonica’s hand.
Even though the axe blade flashed with lethal sharpness, Desmonica’s skin only shimmered with a flicker of red mana.
[She’s coated her entire body in a mana shield!]
Is it like Super Armor?
If she had something like that active, this ambush might be a failure.
But this wasn't a game; my opponent was a living, breathing creature.
[Uooooh!!]
While the Vorpal Rabbit kept her occupied, I sprinted forward with even more intensity.
"You brat!"
Desmonica immediately pulled her other hand back, trying to snatch me.
The Vorpal Rabbit wasn't in a position to intercept, and neither was anyone else.
"Lewd Man! Dodge! We can't support you!"
The moment I had first charged in—
Just as Desmonica lifted her head, a swarm of succubi came raining down from the ceiling.
"I'm sorry! I didn't see this coming!"
[We were looking at the same thing, no need to apologize!]
The succubi hanging from the ceiling like bats were enemies we hadn't anticipated.
Because the succubi she birthed from eggs kept disappearing somewhere, we assumed Desmonica was alone.
As a result...
Everyone except me and the Vorpal Rabbit was preoccupied dealing with the succubi from the ceiling. There was no one left to support me.
That said.
Waiting for someone to save me isn't my style.
If there’s space to dodge, there’s no reason not to!
[Sliding!]
Jumping up would be too slow; paradoxically, the only space to dodge was straight ahead.
I dropped my center of gravity and slid forward.
Thanks to the floor—and her skin—already being slippery, I was able to glide forward with ease.
"You...!!"
I dove right into the cleavage of her sprawling breasts.
Even as an armored knight made of steel trampled over her chest and slid across, Desmonica’s skin remained unscathed.
Skreeee!
I avoided her grasp, but the friction between my boots and her skin sent sparks of red mana flying.
The reason she was naked must have been because she didn't need any protective gear like armor.
'Even if she wasn't in a weakened state, she was definitely caught off guard.'
After the initial surprise, she was starting to regain her composure and go on the offensive.
Therefore, I needed to keep Desmonica from gathering her wits.
Until my allies—whether it be Serica or Laura—finished off the succubi and came to assist!
[Sorry about this.]
I planted my foot on her collarbone and threw a massive punch forward.
[But I don't go easy just because you're a woman!]
CRA-ACK.
I put all my weight into the punch and caught her right on the chin.
Red mana sparked, but Desmonica’s head was snapped to the side instantly.
"Ka-haack...!"
Malice flared in Desmonica’s eyes as her head whipped back.
Being attacked while spawning was infuriating enough, but getting a clean hit to the jaw must have pushed her over the edge.
But the attack wasn't over.
[Do you know why humans have two fists?]
It’s because...
[They’re meant for follow-up shots!]
I twisted my waist and slammed my other fist into Desmonica’s jaw.
Thwack.
Red mana erupted again.
Her head snapped to the other side, and I nearly slipped as her neck jerked under me.
Whoosh!
Something flew from behind and snatched me.
The powerful pressure gripping my waist felt like being constricted by a python. I realized exactly what this mysterious tentacle-like thing was.
A tail.
She had wrapped me in the tail that had been limp from her climax just moments ago.
"You little shit..."
Desmonica, her jaw flushed red, let out a smirk.
"How dare you!"
In an instant, my body was hoisted into the air.
Using her tail to hold me aloft, Desmonica prepared to swing me into the wall with full force.
Clang!
A golden arrow flew in and struck the tail.
An axe blade swung from below, biting into the tail.
It didn't pierce or sever it, but the sudden impact forced the tail to loosen its grip, and I dropped to the ground.
[You're the best, Captain! Charlotte!]
Thanks to Laura’s cover fire and Charlotte’s attack, I escaped the tail's grasp.
Thud.
After performing a landing roll, I sprinted back toward the party.
Running at full speed alongside the Vorpal Rabbit, I shoved aside the succubi blocking my path and regrouped with the front line.
[A shame. I wanted to end this quickly.]
"We'll have to be careful from now on. She's naked because she's confident she won't get hurt."
No one knew.
Since she was spawning while naked, we just thought she was an exhibitionist.
Who would have guessed she had something like Super Armor?
[Is everyone okay?]
"Yes. We're fine... though the succubi were stronger than expected."
I felt relieved because it was only the 20th floor, but it seems these weren't enemies meant for this level.
Should we be glad we weren't wiped out the moment we entered?
No.
'We can do this.'
As Serica had judged, we could win.
If we fought with everything we had, victory was certain.
However...
[Serica. What’s the verdict?]
"...Capturing them all alive seems impossible. Not unless we fight to kill. And that Succubus Queen... we might not be able to clear her."
Serica frowned.
"Her shield is too powerful. Even the monsters on the 50th floor weren't this tough."
The mana shield surrounding the Succubus Queen’s body.
It might be an 'Essential'—a symbol of an unkillable mob.
'If it were Super Armor, there’d be a way to break it, but if it’s an invincibility state, we’re screwed.'
[What are the chances of winning a fight?]
"A little over 60%."
[And the losses?]
"...We’d be lucky if only one person was seriously injured."
[She’s strong. Desmonica of Spawning.]
The naked, egg-laying queen wasn't a queen for nothing.
[Fine. We’re going with Plan 'Lewd Man.' Everyone, trust me.]
"Wait, hold on."
Charlotte tried to grab me.
"Are you really going to do it?"
[Why not?]
"What are you guys whispering about? You seem awfully relaxed."
Thud.
"It didn't hurt, but it felt disgusting. That’s the first time a man’s ever used me as a stepping stone from my cunt to my chin."
Desmonica had already stood up. Dozens of succubi surrounded her, leveling trident-like spears at us.
"I can't let you go after you've come this far. Do you want to die fighting, or just die?"
[We’re fighting, obviously.]
I stepped forward.
[But isn't just fighting a bit boring? You and me, one-on-one.]
"...Hmph. Interesting. Fine, come at me. I'll kill you as many times as—"
[Sex.]
The air in the entire cavern froze at my words.
No one said a thing; only the sound of sharp intakes of breath echoed.
[Instead of fighting savagely with fists, let’s have a fair duel through sex.]
"...Sex?"
[Sex. Surely a succubus isn't going to run away because she's scared of sex?]
A blatant provocation.
[Oh, or maybe you’re just terrible at it? If so, I understand. It can't be helped.]
Of all things, a succubus was being mocked for her sexual prowess.
This wasn't just a blow to her pride; it was enough to make her see red instantly.
"You crazy bastard."
As expected, Desmonica’s eyebrows shot up, and her eyes rolled back in fury.
"You’re saying I'm bad at sex?"
[Obviously. Our Captain here is much better at sex than you.]
"Lewd Man!!"
Laura shrieked, but I refused to back down.
[I’m just stating facts.]
"You talk about sex when you've never even done it with me? You coward, you were too scared to show your face, so you just attached your consciousness to a hunk of tin?"
[Hmph. That’s just a personal matter of no importance.]
She’d figured out my identity.
She must have realized it when she grabbed me with her tail earlier.
[If you’ve got a problem with it, then bring it on.]
"Ha. Fine. Let’s settle this with a sex duel."
Clap.
Desmonica clapped her hands, and the succubi lined up on either side to clear a space.
"Go ahead, try to satisfy me. But what a shame. With that tiny frame of yours, that lump of armor, you can't possibly satisfy me. Surely you aren't planning to do something with the armor? Like, sliding that metal in and out of my pussy?"
[There will be sliding in and out, but I’m sorry to say, it won't be the armor going in.]
What goes into a pussy is, naturally...
[A dick.]
"And where exactly is there a dick right now?"
[I'll show you. Captain.]
I reached my hand back.
Everyone else looked like they were thinking, 'How did it come to this?' but Laura alone had a look of grim determination as she reached out to me.
"I'm counting on you, Lewd Man. You have to win."
[Of course. I’ll prove it. That the Captain is far superior to this Succubus Queen.]
"You’re acting all solemn, but you realize you’re about to have a sex duel with me, right? You’re arguing over who’s better at sex, right? Could you please stop making such tragic faces?"
I ignored Desmonica’s jab and took a light stance.
[Captain. That thing.]
"...I'm entrusting it to you."
Shimmer.
The golden orb Laura handed over merged into my armor, and my suit began to glow with a golden light.
[I finished taking your measurements when I was running over your pussy earlier. I’ll make this one specially tailored for your body.]
And then.
[You said I don't have a dick?]
From beneath Paladin Sonata’s frame, a golden pillar forged from Mythstone began to rise.
[So I made one. If knights have Aura Blades, then I have this.]
Verily.
[The Aura Penis.]
