Chapter 365: Guwon’s Counterattack
Chapter 365: Guwon’s Counterattack
After a few more thrusts that sent Matilda over the edge, I finally stopped moving my hips when I felt it would be dangerous to continue.
Exhausted from a series of orgasms, Matilda had long since stopped moving and was lying limp on the bed. Now, only her ragged breaths filled the room.
Did I go too far?
The synergy of my skills was more effective than I could have ever imagined.
I never thought I could make someone with a much higher level than me climax so easily, as if she were a low-level opponent.
At one point, it even looked like Matilda was repeatedly passing out from the overwhelming pleasure, only to wake up again.
But thanks to that, I was able to make Matilda feel an incredible amount of pleasure without ejaculating even once.
If the condition really was just for Matilda to climax, then I'd found a way to break her curse in no time.
To check right away, I pulled back and withdrew from her.
“Haaahng…”
Since I still hadn't ejaculated, the effect of Sex Boost was still active.
Just from that alone, Matilda was sent over the edge once more.
The pleasure was immense for me too, since I hadn't come yet, but I just had to hold on a little longer. I couldn't ruin everything when I was so close.
The moment I pulled out, the slick fluids that had been held back by my cock started gushing out of her as if she were pissing.
With the support gone, Matilda's hips slowly lost their strength and collapsed onto the bed.
It might have looked like the aftermath of a rape, but she was just completely drained from the pleasure.
I took hold of Matilda and turned her onto her back.
Completely spent, Matilda offered no resistance as I moved her.
Then, the black mark of the curse covering the left side of her body came into view.
Let's see… the length…
It used to reach her wrist, and it had shrunk by about two finger-joints last time… Goddammit! It hasn't shrunk at all!
So the condition really was my ejaculation, after all.
Yeah. Things were never going to be that easy.
If her climax had been the only condition, I could have just gone at it for a few days and broken the curse right away.
I was a fool for getting my hopes up, even a little.
Damn it… What the hell was I holding back for all this time?
I immediately thrust my still-raging cock, which hadn't gotten to come even once, back inside Matilda.
“Nngh…”
Since I had pulled out, the stacks from Sex Boost were gone, so Matilda's reaction wasn't as intense as before.
Of course, the pleasure was less intense now, but the afterglow from her previous orgasms still lingered, so it wasn't like she felt nothing.
Anyway, that's not what's important right now. What's more important is that I ejaculate.
For one, I had no reason to hold back anymore and desperately wanted to come. For another, my ejaculation was the condition for breaking the curse.
Knock, knock.
“Master Guwon. Dinner is ready.”
Just as I was about to start thrusting so I could come, a knock came from the door, followed by Vanessa's voice.
Ugh. Has it been that long already? Damn it. What terrible timing.
But I couldn't just go to dinner like this.
I have to come at least once.
Even with my indomitable libido, I'll go crazy if I don't come right now.
I ignored Vanessa's call and started moving my hips.
“Nngh… Unh… Hnngh!”
Then, Matilda, who had been lying there limply, started letting out small moans again.
Almost there, just a little more.
BANG! BANG!
“Master Guwon. Dinner is ready.”
When I didn't answer, Vanessa's voice came from outside the door once more.
Perhaps thinking I hadn't heard her, her voice was the same as usual, but the knocking on the door was distinctly louder than before.
“Just a minute!”
I snapped back irritably, then slammed my hips hard into Matilda.
“Hnnnnnnnnngh!”
Already sensitive from the afterglow of her continuous orgasms, Matilda climaxed yet again from that single, powerful thrust.
And as I felt her climaxing cunt clench tightly around me, I came.
Perhaps as a backlash from holding it in for so long, an incredible wave of pleasure washed over me.
“Nngh… Guwon…”
Matilda reached out and caressed my cheek, her expression full of affection.
And I noticed that the mark of the curse on her arm was a little shorter than before.
What? Before, a single ejaculation barely shortened it enough to be visible.
I took another proper look, and it had definitely shrunk by about a finger-joint compared to before.
I'm sure I only came once, though. The only thing different was that the pleasure was greater than ever before… Ah, could that be it?
Maybe the method for breaking this curse works on the same system as leveling up.
With leveling up, the amount of experience you gain increases with the amount of pleasure your partner feels.
So, the more pleasure I feel, the faster the curse is broken.
But to think it would even copy the leveling system for something like this.
The more I think about it, the more this curse feels like a direct challenge to this world's system.
Could it be that whoever created this curse, I don't know who, was someone who really hated the Goddess?
But they definitely said it was an ancient curse.
Doesn't 'ancient' usually mean a time when the gods' influence was stronger?
It might be a prejudice, but I have a strong impression that 'ancient' means being in closer contact with the gods.
To think they managed to create a curse that so directly opposes the Goddess in an era like that.
“Master. Guwon. Dinner. Is. Ready.”
As I was lost in thought looking down at Matilda, Vanessa's voice came from outside again.
It was her usual calm and emotionless voice, but maybe it was just me, it sounded like she was quite angry.
All the more so because she was banging on the door with each deliberately enunciated word.
“Eh?! Heh?! W-Wait a moment! Mmph!”
And it seemed Matilda had finally snapped out of the rosy atmosphere and heard Vanessa's voice.
She cried out in a panic and tried to get me to pull out.
But maybe because she had no strength left in her body, all her flailing only produced lewd moans; she couldn't make me pull out.
When a moan escaped her lips, Matilda looked flustered, covering her mouth and glancing at the door before glaring back at me and saying, “Y-You, don't just stay there, pull out already!”
Why is she so flustered? Is an angry Vanessa really that scary? I don't think so.
“Q-Quickly! What are you going to do if she comes in?!”
Ah, I see. Right, she's a cleric. I guess she doesn't want others to see her like this.
“Pull out?”
“W-What are you asking? Of course! Nnghaaaah!”
I deliberately spoke to Matilda, and the moment she answered, I yanked myself out.
And just as I'd expected, Matilda let out a loud moan, unable to even cover her mouth in time.
“W-What are you doing?!”
“Hm? You told me to pull out, so I did.”
“Y-Y-You…! Just get dressed already.”
It was a prank mischievous enough that Sara or Diana would have definitely hit me for it, but Matilda just glared at me resentfully.
Her reaction was pretty funny, so I wanted to tease her more, but I suppose making Vanessa any angrier would be dangerous.
“If you get dressed now, you'll reek. Want me to clean you up with a spirit?”
“…Ugh…. This time, please do it without making any noise.”
Matilda glared at me for a moment, thinking, then finally nodded, seeming to decide she couldn't go out like this.
“You just have to hold it in. As you know, I haven't been handling spirits for long, so I'm not used to it.”
With that, I summoned a water spirit.
And I asked it to clean both my and Matilda's bodies.
“Nnngh! Y-You…!”
“Hey. Wait. Hold on. I just washed you this time. That was purely because your body is so sensitive…”
“Mas. Ter. Gu. Won. Din. Ner. Is. Pre. Pared.”
“Aaaah! I get it! We'll be right out!”
An unintentional incident almost led to another argument with Matilda, but at the sound of Vanessa's voice, both of us hastily got dressed and went out the door.
“It seems you enjoyed your sex quite a bit.”
And as soon as we stepped outside, Vanessa said as much, putting a heavy emphasis on the word 'sex'.
Strange. Normally, I'd get excited when a woman says the word 'sex'.
But hearing Vanessa say it made my heart pound for a different reason. Mostly fear.
“N-No. This was purely to break the curse… Are you mad?”
Vanessa's presence was so powerful that I didn't even have time to wonder why I was making excuses to her.
“I am not angry.”
Liar. You're scaring me to death, woman.
“Wouldn't it be better for you to worry about Lady Leia rather than me?”
“H-Huh? What's that supposed to…”
“Now, let us go. Lady Sara and Lady Leia are waiting.”
“Hey. What's that supposed to mean?!”
Vanessa didn't answer, but when we arrived at the dining room, I naturally understood why she'd said that.
“Guwon… I… I was waiting…”
Because my angel was looking at me, muttering those words with a very dejected expression.
Her ears, which were usually perked up on her head, were drooping to the sides, and her pitiful face, stained with sadness, was so heart-wrenching to look at.
C-Come to think of it… I was hanging out with Leia, told her I had to take care of something quickly, and then went to meet that Trash Hero.
I'm screwed.
“L-Leia. It's, well, it's a long story, but what happened was…!”
“Hehe.”
As I scrambled to explain, my angel, who had been looking so gloomy, covered her mouth with her hand and suddenly started giggling.
“L-Leia?”
“Hehe. It was a joke. Were you flustered?”
“Huh? A-A joke?”
“Yes. I can pretty much tell what the situation was. You were helping Cardinal Matilda with her curse, weren't you?”
“Uh, yeah. So, I was chasing away that guy who was lurking around the house earlier, and Matilda started suffering from the curse's effects again, so the mood just shifted toward working on breaking it. Sorry!”
“No, it's okay. There's nothing for you to apologize for, Guwon. I've heard a lot about how much Cardinal Matilda has suffered, so I understand.”
Leia said, tapping the chair next to her as if telling me to sit down.
Huh? So she's really not angry or sad?
No. Then what was that thing Vanessa said earlier?
I quickly turned my head to look at Vanessa.
But Vanessa just stared back at me silently, her expression as blank as ever, as if she knew nothing.
D-Damn it! She tricked me!
“Is there something you wish to say?”
“No. It's nothing.”
Right. I was also in the wrong for making her wait so long just now, so I'll call it even.
It's definitely not because I'm scared of Vanessa, who looked so angry earlier.
She should consider herself lucky to serve a good guy like me, who knows how to admit when he's wrong!
I won't forgive her if she pulls a prank like this again!
I sat down next to Leia, repeating those words only in my head.
“But… next time, you have to at least tell me, okay? I really was waiting.”
“Ah, yeah. Sorry. I'll be more careful from now on.”
Ugh. Why is my angel so kind?
“By the way, Guwon.”
Just as I was basking in my angel's angelic nature, Sara, who had been watching the situation quietly, spoke up.
“Y-Yeah?”
“Vanessa went to get you a while ago. Why are you only coming now? Was it that good?”
“Uh, n-no. It's just… you can't come out right away when you're called. Y-You know, you have to wash up and…”
“You can use spirits now, Guwon.”
“No, but…”
“How was it, Vanessa?”
“It seems he enjoyed himself quite a bit. He did not stop the act for some time, even when I called for him.”
Wait! Hey! You're just going to say it like that?!
“Hnnnnngh…”
“Wait. Sara. Calm down.”
“What? Did you do something that would make me not calm down?”
In the end, I got past Leia safely, only to be thoroughly cornered by the unexpected ambush from Sara.
Damn it. Come to think of it, that woman Vanessa. On the way here, she told me I should be worried about Leia.
Don't tell me that was part of the trap from the very beginning?
