Chapter 222: The Masterpiece That Will Solve All Problems (3)
Thanks to the sacrifice of Geum Taeyang—or rather, that piece of human trash—we confirmed that the face surfacing wasn't the lure of an Angler Shark.
We even succeeded in discovering the Sea Elf Sirens, communicative beings who consider the waters of the Infinite Labyrinth their "home."
So, what now?
[How do I catch them?]
A problem had arisen in capturing the Sirens.
"I believe we should prioritize a thorough defense for now."
Serica actively swung her sword, parrying the incoming arrows of water.
Splash!
It looked like someone squirted water with their hands at a beach, but the reality was different when those splashes were as sharp as arrows and carried enough lethal force to kill.
One had to react immediately, dodge, and counter.
[Even if we use ranged attacks, they just dive back under the surface. They won't be easy to catch.]
"Hey, what are you going to do with the bait?"
[Hmm....]
The fishing bait—the so-called 'Geum Taeyang'—was still floundering, his head bobbing up and down above the water.
Since the Sirens seemed reluctant to kill him directly, they were currently staging a protest against us.
Why?
[They don't want to clean up a corpse in their own house?]
If they killed the Geum Taeyang bait themselves, they’d be the ones stuck cleaning it up.
[If there were Angler Sharks around, they could just feed him to them, but I guess that's not the case here.]
Angler Sharks seemed to find humans quite delicious, but that appeared to be limited to the seas on the 21st floor and other upper levels.
In other words, just like the terrain of other floors, the sea on the 25th floor was a completely isolated environment.
It seemed that in this layer of the sea where the Sea Elf Sirens resided, there were no beasts like Angler Sharks that neatly disposed of humans by eating them.
Even if there were, they probably didn't fancy the idea of blood splattering in their waters.
[Fine. I'll retrieve the bait.]
I hauled on the chain.
Perhaps feeling the sensation of being reeled in, the bait twisted his body like a shrimp, struggling desperately to reach the shore.
Thud.
As soon as he hit dry land, the bait collapsed onto the ground.
Regardless of whether the wet sand got in his face or not, I dragged him along until we were well clear of the reaching waves.
[The attacks have stopped.]
As if the assault really had been a protest against me dumping human trash in their water, the Sirens hid themselves beneath the surface and vanished.
Until a moment ago, they had kept their faces visible as a sign of vigilance, but now they had submerged completely, hiding even their heads.
Of course, they were likely watching us from below.
I didn't know what kind of vision Sirens had, but they certainly wouldn't expect us to just leave after dumping trash.
[We've made progress. Just confirming the existence of the Sirens is a huge achievement. Using a human to lure them out failed, but now I can just deploy the various other methods I've planned.]
"Cough, hack...!"
When I removed the bait's gag, he began to gasp and cough violently.
"P-please spare me! I'll never do it again! Please, please, just my life...!"
[I'd like to let you live too, but I was told that's not possible.]
"What...?"
[About being reborn as a virgin female Succubus?]
I bound the man's mouth with an even sturdier gag and then unwound the chains wrapped around his torso.
[I asked just in case if a man could be reborn as a virgin Succubus, but they said a man can only be born as an Incubus.]
"Mmph, mmmph!!"
[But here's the thing. I have no use for an Incubus. So, since you can't even be resurrected as a Succubus, the only right answer is for you to just die.]
Clank.
The man thrashed on the ground like a landed fish, resisting with all his might.
Sensing that his death was truly imminent, he tried to crawl away from me to escape his fate.
[I don't think running toward the sea is a very good choice.]
"Mmmph!!"
As he tried to crawl back into the seawater, I quickly yanked the chain, caught him, and pointed upward.
[I'm going to head up there for a moment. I'll be back within an hour, so if the Sirens happen to leap out of the water, please proceed according to the 'plan.']
I was addressing everyone, but every operation needs a person in charge on-site.
[Hmm.... For now.]
I pointed to one person.
[Eurydias. You're in charge.]
"Huh? M-me?"
[Yes.]
It wasn't Zenith, who held the highest social status.
It wasn't Astarotte, who was the first to meet me here.
It wasn't Serica, who possessed the greatest combat power.
It wasn't even Yoanna, who had experience leading troops.
Why Eurydias, of all people?
The others looked slightly uncomfortable, but I designated Eurydias as the temporary commander based on the most rational criteria.
"Um, Lewd Man. May I ask why I was chosen as the commander?"
[Because of the 'hierarchy,' obviously.]
It was a sensitive topic, but at the same time, I presented a standard that was unmistakably 'Ruji Fermaton'—one that could silence any grievance.
[Out of everyone here, you're the one I had pussy sex with first, aren't you?]
"......Ah!"
Eurydias let out a small exclamation.
At the same time, the others behind her seemed to understand instantly, looking at me with faces that said, 'Of course, that's your reason.'
[That's why Laura is the Captain. Because she was the first woman I had sex with after I decided to be reborn.]
Because Laura was the woman I lost my virginity to as Ruji Fermaton.
[As for the Vice Captain, I'll have to think about that a bit more, but shouldn't there be a prerequisite? Even if sex isn't a requirement to be a member of the Knight Order, the leader who guides them should obviously be someone who has had sex with me.]
According to the Ruji Fermaton standard, I had delivered a perfectly fair judgment.
[Eurydias has given me her front pussy, back pussy, and mouth pussy. It wouldn't be polite not to make her the commander.]
"U-um, Lewd Man. Going that far is a bit..."
[Why? Look at it positively.]
I stepped on the thrashing piece of marine-polluting trash and pointed upward as I spoke.
[In our County, the pussy is the badge of office.]
A short while later.
On the 11th floor of the Infinite Labyrinth, in the labyrinth district, a certain Succubus drained the essence of a man bound in chains and killed him.
The Succubus then high-fived an Armored Knight before they both turned and vanished, a scene witnessed by no one.
* * *
Meanwhile, back at the Lord's Castle.
"Phew. Taking a short break."
"Yeees...."
After moving Paladin Sonata back to the 25th-floor coastal zone, I pulled my cock out of Laura's body.
She lay there limp, having leaked a massive amount of semen from her lower body—or so the story would have gone in the past.
Not a single drop of semen flowed out of her.
Was it because I hadn't ejaculated?
No.
I had ejaculated inside Laura more than five times.
It was simply that she had succeeded in converting every drop of my semen into essence.
No matter how much Laura loved my cock, I had set the Sex Magic to trigger automatically. As long as she didn't lose consciousness, she could continue to milk my semen and turn it into her own essence until the moment she fainted.
"Haaah.... My Lord...."
Looking at her state, it was hard to tell if she had been milking me or if I had been forcibly shoving essence into her, but Laura was on the verge of passing out.
"I suppose that's expected after taking my cock for six hours straight without a single break. Laura, you have a 30-minute break, so rest. You don't have to keep holding it."
"Haah, haah...."
Even as she lay exhausted beneath me, Laura buried her face in my crotch.
As if using my cock as a pillow, she took her rest with her face nestled against it.
Unconcerned that it had been stirring inside her pussy just moments ago, Laura gradually began to breathe more easily and regained her composure.
"This won't do. Amy. I'm sorry, but could you help wash Laura?"
"Will that be alright? The connection with the Infinite Labyrinth might be severed."
"I said we're taking a 30-minute break, so it's fine. In case of an emergency where we need to retreat, Asti will take remote control on-site and get them out. And if things get truly dangerous, we can just scrap it, so there's no problem."
The Paladin Sonata was merely a shield and a tool to protect my allies.
"I'm counting on you, Amy."
"Understood. Excuse me, Captain. I will assist you with your shower. After soaking in warm water for 30 minutes, you can resume having sex with the Lord."
"Yeees...."
Laura headed toward the bathroom.
She was drenched in sweat and in a state that was hard to endure, needing at least 30 minutes of rest in a bathtub.
What happens if Laura isn't holding my cock?
'It doesn't necessarily have to be Laura.'
If not Laura, someone else can hold it.
Any woman will do.
Thanks to magic, this 'cockpit' I was sitting in had been upgraded so that the performance would be maintained as long as any woman was in contact with my cock.
"Nero, milk tea."
"Yes."
I took the milk tea from Nero, who was standing by, and drank it.
The milk tea served in Laura's Dark Jeanne glass somehow tasted richer than usual, and I closed my eyes for a moment, intoxicated by the sweetness.
"...Hm?"
Behind me.
Nero was staring intently at my cock.
Toward her, whose gaze was fixed on my cock still standing tall toward the ceiling, I lightly pointed downward.
"Want to try touching it?"
"...Is that alright?"
"There's no reason why not. For now—"
Beep, beep, beep.
A signal rang out.
I quickly corrected my posture at the emergency call transmitted through Paladin Sonata.
"What is it, Eurydias?"
[The Sirens have appeared in force! They've come out to drive us away from the shore!]
"Tsk, an emergency."
I had to move Paladin Sonata immediately.
"...Will you help me?"
"Oh, um."
Nero was flustered, but seeing the screen of Paladin Sonata flashing before her, she softly pressed her hips against my side.
"...Should I just hold it with my hand?"
"Of course."
Rustle.
The moment Nero gripped my cock with her white-gloved hand, the vision of Paladin Sonata began to clear.
BOOM!
A water bomb exploded in front of me.
The sledgehammer swung by Paladin Sonata successfully detonated the water arrow with precision.
"Well then."
Starting now.
[Let the Siren hunt begin.]
I'll turn every last Sea Elf into a Fermaton laborer.
[Then—]
SHAAAAAAA—!
[......Run!]
In the distance.
A tsunami over dozens of meters high was beginning to surge toward us.
