Rookie Guardian (2) - The Lewd Voice
Rookie Guardian (2) - An Obscene Voice
"Kieeeek-!"
A Goblin rushed in with a grotesque shriek.
An ordinary monster would brandish a weapon and emit killing intent.
But the creature rushing towards Rose now held nothing in its hands.
Its eyes, rolled back white, were fixed on her glistening thighs and cleavage, revealed through her torn clothes.
And between its dirty crotch, a hideously erect pillar dangled.
'Crazy...'
In the novels she had read in her previous life, she had never seen descriptions of monsters sexually preying on human women.
In the first place, those novels were traditional dark fantasies rampant with blood and iron, not this kind of R-rated degradation porn.
'Does the Lust Skill work on monsters too? Then, besides the Lewd Voice from earlier, it means even smells or the taste of bodily fluids stimulate monsters?'
Just the thought of hideous monsters like Goblins or Orcs sticking their faces between her crotch to smell, and sticking out their rough tongues to lick her bodily fluids, made her nauseous.
But her panic was only momentary.
Because a low-level monster that threw away its weapon and rushed in with only the instincts of a rutting male was no threat at all to the current Rose.
"Filthy creature."
Rose spat out coldly and concentrated mana at her toes.
Taat-!
Her body, kicking off the ground, lightly floated into the air.
The moment the Goblin's greedy hands swiped through the air, Rose lightly landed behind it and drew mana into the hand holding her Shortsword.
Seoeok-,
The blade, imbued with mana and emitting a blue light, smoothly sliced through the Goblin's neck.
Teolseok-,
Without even time for blood to gush, its cleanly severed head rolled on the ground.
[ Woowoong- ]
A faint black aura, emerging from its corpse, seeped into Rose, then transformed into a warm heat and spread throughout her body.
Monsters in this world are not naturally occurring creatures, but magical beasts formed from congealed turbid mana.
By killing them, the Guardian's Stigma purifies and absorbs the essence of the scattered mana.
'Certainly... my body is getting lighter.'
Rose looked down at her hands and clenched and unclenched her fists.
The feeling of getting stronger wasn't just because she was absorbing mana.
While the theory of mana acquisition and utilization was familiar thanks to her knowledge from her previous life, actually wielding a sword and fighting amidst splattering blood was a completely new experience.
But the more she repeated life-or-death battles with real Goblins, the more her body adapted to the movements.
As if forgotten instincts were awakening.
Rose shook the blood from her sword and stepped out of the cave.
The forest was lush with deep greenery.
"Alright. Let's see..."
Tak, Tatak.
After concentrating mana in her legs,
she nimbly stepped from branch to branch of a giant old tree, leaping several meters upwards in one go.
Hiding her body among the leaves, she looked down and saw a group of Goblins moving in a pack not far away.
'Five in total... I think I can take them out at once.'
Rose, who was about to draw her sword, soon relaxed her hand.
She could easily slaughter about five Goblins with her current skill.
But the movements of these creatures, scouring the forest in groups these past few days, were not simply to drive out intruders from the forest.
Organized movements, as if 'searching' for something.
For revenge for their kin? Or under someone's orders?
She didn't know, but she couldn't shake the feeling that they were pursuing her with some purpose.
'It would be better to follow them and find their base. I can sweep them all away at once and get some useful treasures or items.'
Rose, having made up her mind, didn't attack them but waited silently in the tree.
When the creatures, after looking around for a while, began to move, Rose secretly leaped from tree to tree, following them.
Using mana to make her body movements agile, she was already an excellent tracker, perfectly assimilated into the forest.
Not long after following them,
the Goblins' hideout, located in a deep basin of the forest, appeared.
Crudely built shacks made of logs, animal bones, and torn tarps.
Among them, over twenty Goblins, even with a quick count.
'That's quite a number. A frontal assault won't be easy.'
While hiding in the branches, as she pondered how to attack them, one particularly alien presence in the middle of the group caught her eye.
"Kareureureuk-!"
A massive build, easily twice the size of a regular Goblin.
With bulging muscles reminiscent of an Orc and jet-black skin.
As it growled lowly,
the surrounding Goblins trembled and made way.
'A Black Goblin? Is that one the leader?'
As it gave some orders, a group of about ten Goblins picked up their weapons and followed it.
The direction they were heading was where Rose had come from.
It was towards the cave where she had cut the throat of the rutting Goblin a little while ago.
'They found the corpse, or they're going out themselves to find the scout who didn't return.'
Half of the forces left along with the leader.
There's no more perfect opportunity than this.
Rose moved her position to the top of the oldest tree closest to the hideout.
And took a deep breath,
after a moment of thought,
she activated the [Lewd Incantation] skill.
"Ah... my body is so hot. If only someone would embrace me... coolly..."
A shameful and sticky voice, enough to make her own face blush even after uttering it.
As that lewd wave, riding the wind, slowly spread into the Goblins' hideout,
"Kkirik?"
"Kieee...?"
The movements of the Goblins loitering around the shacks stopped all at once.
They didn't throw away their weapons and rush in like madmen, unlike the one she encountered in the cave a little while ago.
'Distance... or is the skill's power dispersed depending on the number or strength of the targets?'
But even with their current state, the effect was sufficient.
Their red eyes became hazy and unfocused, and dirty drool dripped from their half-open mouths.
[ Kkumteul ]
And between their old leather loincloths,
hideous things began to rise all at once, like pitching tents.
They, as if possessed by something, slowly gathered like zombies under the old tree where Rose was hiding, the source of the sweet voice.
"Kieeek... Chwureup..."
Over ten Goblins huddled together under the tree, erect and drooling profusely, looking around.
'In all my life, I never thought I'd see Goblins collectively erect...'
A momentary sense of self-loathing welled up at the hideous sight unfolding below,
but if she thought about it calmly, there was no more useful skill than this.
To be able to gather multiple opponents in one place and even restrict their movements.
Isn't this a technique only possible with something like a high-ranking vampire's charm magic?
Moreover, as it was a Lust Skill, there was no mana consumption.
Rose, who briefly pondered how to deal with them, soon gripped her Shortsword in a reverse grip and concentrated all the mana in her body to the tip of the blade.
[ Woowoong- ]
The moment the blue light on the blade shimmered as if about to burst,
Rose kicked off the branch and descended vertically towards the crowns of their heads.
"Kiee...?"
The moment a Goblin that noticed the blue flash pouring down from above foolishly raised its head.
Kwaaaang!!
The mana extending from the sword collided with the ground, causing a small explosion.
The surrounding dust and dirt were churned up, and the foolishly standing Goblins were torn to shreds like autumn leaves caught in a storm.
A single strike.
Where the blood mist cleared, only the remnants of Goblins, not even intact corpses, were scattered everywhere.
"Hwoo..."
Rose landed lightly and caught her breath.
And then, without delay, she moved her steps into the hideout.
When she searched the largest tent, which seemed to be the leader's shack, she found silver and gold coins plundered from humans, and valuable jewels inside a crude leather pouch.
'Lucky. This is more lucrative than I thought... huh?'
Just as she was about to leave the shack, after taking the pouch and hanging it on her waist,
a disgusting stench and faint moans emanated from a grotesquely shaped hut in the furthest corner.
When she carefully pulled back the hut's leather flap.
"Ah..."
There were women.
Half of the six women were already cold corpses, swarming with flies,
and those who survived were also without a single thread of clothing, covered in filth and semen.
Eyes completely unfocused.
Wretched faces, with their souls shattered.
"Ah... um... are you okay? Can you hear my voice?"
Rose approached and shook the shoulder of the woman with open eyes, but the woman just gaped her mouth and couldn't make any sound.
"What on earth did they do..."
Recalling the faces of the Goblins, drooling profusely and consumed by lust, it wasn't hard to imagine what terrible things had happened in here.
No. Let's not think about it now.
For now, let's get out of here first, then think about it.
Steeling her resolve, just as she was about to help the two women who were still alive to their feet,
Kung, Kung, Kung!
Along with heavy footsteps that shook the ground, a chilling killing intent was felt through the air.
"Kareureureuk-!!"
In Rose's sight as she stepped out of the hut,
was the Black Goblin and the rest of its group, roaring, having lost its reason to rage.
They seemed to have found the remnants of their kin miserably scattered at the entrance.
"Right. I didn't think it would end this easily."
Rose laid the women she was supporting on the ground,
re-gripping her Shortsword, and walked out of the hut.
"Kieeeek!!"
A roar that echoed through the forest, enough to hurt her ears.
As if it were a charge signal, over ten Goblins brandishing crude axes rushed madly towards Rose.
'Calm down. Goblins like these aren't scary.'
Hwiiing-!
Rose, after concentrating mana in her legs,
evaded their attacks with graceful footwork, as if drawing a circle.
The Goblins' disorganized attacks, just instinctively rushing in without formation or coordination, seemed incredibly slow and clumsy.
Rose burrowed into the blind spots of the creatures swarming after her movements and swung her sword as if dancing.
Seoeok! Puk! Kkaaang!
Every time the blue trajectory flashed, dark red blood gushed from the Goblins' necks and hearts.
Dodging, slashing, retreating, and charging again.
As the fight continued, Rose's movements became as natural as flowing water.
Before thinking with her head, it felt like her body already knew how to fight and reacted first. A perfect dance of slaughter, without hesitation or wavering.
"Hwoo..."
After clearing out the Goblin group with lightning speed,
exhaling ragged breaths, she smiled provocatively towards the Black Goblin.
"Now only you are left."
But even while watching its kin being slaughtered, it didn't rush in with rage.
Its red eyes gleamed cunningly, merely observing persistently, as if engraving Rose's agile movements into its eyes.
'This bastard... is no ordinary monster.'
Rose also raised her guard at its alien calmness.
The Black Goblin slowly reached its hand behind its back.
And what it brought out in its hand was...
"...??"
a grotesquely shaped weapon made of animal bones and tough leather straps, with two heavy iron weights attached to their ends.
"Kaaak-!"
It shrieked and began to spin the weapon above its head. The heavy iron weights cut through the air, and a terrifying whooshing sound echoed.
[ Wiiing, Woowoong- ]
'Trying to swing it? No, is it trying to throw it?'
Rose gathered mana at the tip of the hand holding her sword.
As it was an unfamiliar weapon and she didn't know how it would attack, rather than dodging, she intended to bat it away with her sword and immediately follow up with a counterattack.
Hwiik-!
The weapon that left the Black Goblin's hand flew at a terrifying speed.
Rose, at the precise moment, swung her Shortsword and struck the iron weight.
Kkaaang-!
But that was a losing move.
The weapon she expected to bounce off her sword,
using the recoil of the impact, rotated around the iron weight as an axis and coiled around her right arm, which held the sword, like a snake.
"...!"
As Rose panicked, just as she was about to untangle the leather strap with her left hand,
Hwiik-!
a second weapon flew from the Black Goblin's hand,
this time coiling around her left arm as well, binding both her hands together.
"Th-this...!"
There was no time to panic.
The third massive throwing weapon that flew in coiled around both her hands once more, and with its immense rotational force and weight, made Rose's arms shoot upwards.
And the iron weight at its end coiled once around the thick wooden pillar behind her and then slammed into it with a bang.
Cheolgeureok-!
"Aaak!!"
It happened in an instant.
Rose, with both her arms flung high above her head,
her wrists bound to the pillar, was left in a humiliating posture.
Though she held her sword in her right hand,
due to the weight of the iron weights and the tough leather straps, she couldn't even twitch a finger.
"Iik..."
Moreover, her posture was the problem.
As both her arms were raised, her tunic and leather pants, torn and tattered in places, were pulled taut.
Through the gaps in her torn clothes, her pale white flank and smooth thighs were starkly revealed, and because of her raised arms, her breasts gathered in the center, creating a dizzying cleavage.
A breathtakingly provocative and defenseless posture to anyone who saw it.
"Kareureureu...."
And the Black Goblin,
seeing that sight, raised the corners of its mouth and laughed with a vile expression.
