Labyrinth of the Abyss
The labyrinth distorted straight-line distances and actual travel distances in ways that defied logic.
A location that looked close enough to reach by smashing through a single wall could often require dozens of detours before you could actually get there.
The same was true now.
Through Clairvoyance, the straight-line distance to Eleanor looked short.
But countless walls and corridors stood between us.
I called her name, just in case.
“Eleanor!!”
As expected, there was no response.
There was no way she could hear me.
Neither her voice nor mine could reach the other.
I clenched my teeth and examined the area around her.
Wolfram was receiving treatment from Serena.
Severed tentacles and dark-red chunks of flesh littered the ground around them. Both of them had sustained considerable injuries.
Was that powerful surge of mana from earlier Wolfram’s doing?
It was hard to believe he possessed that kind of strength. Back at the academy, he couldn’t even put up the slightest resistance against Eleanor and lost every single time.
While Serena healed him, Wolfram was staring in one direction.
His gaze was fixed on Eleanor.
Even at a glance, her condition looked terrible.
Her body was covered in countless small scratches, likely from being seized by the tentacles and caught in the collapse. Fortunately, there didn’t appear to be any life-threatening wounds.
However, the panties she had been wearing until the very end were gone. She had been captured by the tentacle monster when the labyrinth caved in, so they must have been torn off during the chaos.
In short, Eleanor’s naked body was completely exposed to Wolfram’s eyes.
She sat slumped against a collapsed stone wall, utterly drained. Above her, a massive severed section of the tentacle monster’s torso hung precariously in a crack in the ceiling.
Even after the main body died, severed parts of tentacle monsters could sometimes continue to move. It seemed this piece hadn’t fully perished yet; faint convulsions rippled through it intermittently.
Two thick tentacles extending from that torso had Eleanor’s arms pinned firmly against the stone wall.
Her body, which had been half-swallowed and pumped full of the creature’s fluids, still wasn’t functioning normally. She couldn’t break free from the restraints.
From her pussy, the semen I had ejaculated inside her continued to leak out.
Wolfram stared at her with the corner of his mouth twisted into a smirk.
Even while covered in wounds and receiving Serena’s healing, his eyes never left her.
He looked like he was enjoying himself.
The sight made my hands clench into fists without thinking.
I wanted to smash through the wall and charge straight at them.
But considering the thickness of the walls visible through Clairvoyance and the traces left by the tentacle monster’s rampage, forcing my way through would be too dangerous.
If it were just one or two layers, maybe. But what blocked my path now was practically a fused mass of labyrinth walls and collapsed debris.
Touching it carelessly might not open a path—it could bring the entire section above crashing down.
“Damn it…”
I kept them in my sight and began moving.
Every time I followed a corridor, the figures in my Clairvoyance would drift farther away, then closer again. Every wrong turn seemed to widen the distance once more.
Meanwhile, Wolfram and Serena showed little movement for a while.
Serena silently continued treating Wolfram’s wounds, while Wolfram appeared to be leisurely watching Eleanor and passing the time.
Then, suddenly, Wolfram turned his head.
“…?”
I didn’t stop walking, focusing even harder on my Clairvoyance.
Wolfram slowly picked up his sword.
My heart sank.
His family, the Marquis of Loendheim, had once ruled the entire former Voltaren Duchy. Maybe he intended to eliminate any potential future threats.
But thankfully, his blade was not aimed at Eleanor.
His gaze wasn’t on her at all—it was on the scattered remains of the tentacle monster on the floor.
Wolfram sliced off a piece of the debris with his sword.
The severed chunk wriggled on the ground like a caterpillar.
Without hesitation, Wolfram picked up the parasitic tentacle worms.
“…That bastard.”
A low curse slipped from between my teeth.
A sinister smile played on Wolfram’s lips.
I gritted my teeth and quickened my pace.
An ominous feeling pressed down on my chest.
I didn’t know exactly what that bastard was planning to do, but it couldn’t be anything good.
Eleanor remained unable to move.
Wolfram was slowly walking toward her.
Twitch!
The severed parasitic tentacle worms in Wolfram’s hand moved in a bizarre manner.
As if sensing something, they twisted their bodies in a specific direction.
It seemed Wolfram had noticed it too.
He looked down at the worms with interest, then slowly approached Eleanor.
The more he did, the more violently the tentacles writhed.
“…”
I unconsciously quickened my steps.
Eleanor lifted her head with difficulty and looked at Wolfram.
A few words seemed to pass between them, but at this distance I couldn’t make out what they were saying.
Eleanor’s expression had frozen into icy coldness, while a mocking sneer curled Wolfram’s lips.
He tossed the parasitic tentacle worms in his hand toward the debris above her.
Thud. Thud.
The worms landed on the pile of collapsed stone.
Twitch. Twitch.
The caterpillars began moving again.
Eleanor looked up at the ceiling above her.
She tried to shift her body to create distance, but it didn’t seem easy.
“Damn it! Eleanor!”
I shouted her name in desperation, but only my own voice echoed uselessly inside the labyrinth.
I scanned my surroundings as frantically as possible, searching for the shortest route to reach her.
Meanwhile, the parasitic tentacle worms wriggled little by little, crawling along the wall toward Eleanor’s shoulder.
Eleanor’s struggles grew more intense.
Wolfram watched her and laughed, his shoulders shaking.
Every word he spoke, every laugh he let out, seemed designed to humiliate her.
“Damn it! Damn it!”
I had already lost Lucrezia. Now Eleanor was about to be violated right before my eyes.
The guilt threatened to split my skull open.
Kiiiieek!
While I was running in a frenzy, a monster’s shriek suddenly rang out. I looked ahead to see one charging straight at me.
Slash!
I cut it down in a single stroke and immediately turned my gaze back to Eleanor.
By now the parasitic tentacle worms had climbed onto her pale white shoulder and were writhing there.
The bodily fluids dripping from their bodies ran down along the curves of her figure.
Eleanor glared at Wolfram in front of her and shook her body back and forth, desperately trying to shake the worms off.
Each time she did, her large breasts swayed, the pink nipples drawing obscene arcs in the air.
Wolfram’s mouth moved.
I couldn’t hear the sound, but the sneer on his face was enough to guess what he was saying.
Eleanor stared back at him coldly.
Her face held nothing but open hostility.
After twisting and struggling for a while to remove the things clinging to her, Eleanor seemed to give up. She stopped moving.
But she never took her eyes off Wolfram standing before her.
Her lips moved.
I couldn’t hear the words, but they couldn’t have been kind ones.
Eleanor’s eyes were as sharp as blades.
Even now, she refused to submit to the man mocking her.
Wolfram seemed to realize it too.
He let out a short, amused laugh and shrugged.
As if even that reaction entertained him.
Before long, the parasitic tentacle worms had climbed onto the upper part of her breasts.
She could only watch with trembling eyes.
Wolfram grinned, stepped closer, and prodded the worms with his sword.
As if he could stab and kill them at any moment…
He moved his mouth again.
But this time Eleanor spat at him.
-You pathetic milk boy. From now on, call me Master.
-You pathetic milk boy. Beg me to fuck you.
-You pathetic milk boy. From now on, spend the rest of your life milking in my ranch.
In my head, the insults Wolfram would hurl at Eleanor flashed by.
That fucking bastard.
Even as that happened, the parasitic tentacle worms had already reached her pale pink areolas.
The sticky mucus oozing from their bodies flowed along her areolas and formed glistening droplets on her nipples.
Then Wolfram lifted the worm on her left breast.
The worm refused to let go of her breast, using its suckers to cling tightly. As a result, her entire breast was lifted upward.
Jiggle!
Even though it had been severed from the main body long ago, the worm still writhed in Wolfram’s hand as if it were alive.
Wolfram said something.
I couldn’t hear it, but his expression was crystal clear.
The face that had been sneering moments ago had now hardened into arrogance.
Eleanor once again offered no reply. She simply glared at him with a rigid expression.
Wolfram’s eyebrow twitched.
It seemed he didn’t like how defiant she still was.
He relaxed his face, let out a small laugh, and slowly brought the parasitic tentacle worm toward the front of her large breast—her pale pink areola, and finally the pitiful nipple trembling at its tip.
Splat!
As the worm drew near her nipple, its tiny mouth split open into four parts.
Inside, glistening with sticky fluid, were thin tentacles and what looked like sharp teeth.
Twitch! Twitch!
As if begging to be released, the worm thrashed wildly in Wolfram’s hand, trying to break free.
And Wolfram, as if granting its plea, lightly tossed it onto her nipple.
“…!!”
Eleanor’s back arched violently, her head thrown back.
Her entire body trembled as a gush of love juice spurted from between her legs.
The worm escaped Wolfram’s grasp, flew through the air, and clamped down hard on her nipple and areola.
Then, like a baby nursing, it began sucking greedily on her breast.
Her breast stretched as if being pulled into the worm’s mouth, then swelled again, repeating the cycle.
Every time it happened, the sight of Eleanor panting made it feel like I could actually hear her moans ringing in my ears.
“…Hah!”
At that moment, a very faint moan reached my ears.
It was so distant I could have dismissed it as a hallucination, but in this instant I was certain.
“Eleanor!”
I spun around reflexively.
The direction where the sound overlapped with the position I had confirmed through Clairvoyance.
Without hesitation, I began running that way.
The labyrinth continued to mock me, twisting the paths at every turn.
I thought I was getting closer, only to find myself farther away again. Dead-end corridors suddenly opened into new areas.
I couldn’t even remember how many times I had changed direction.
I used Clairvoyance to check the location, ran, checked again, and ran some more.
“Damn it…”
My impatience kept growing.
Just a little farther. It felt like just a little more and I would reach her, but the distance refused to close.
How long had I been running like that…?
Suddenly, a familiar moan came from the wall ahead.
There was a crack in the wall about the size of a palm.
It must have formed when the labyrinth collapsed.
A moan was leaking through that gap.
“…”
I activated Clairvoyance once more.
And finally, I had arrived.
Eleanor was right on the other side of the wall.
“Hngh! Hngh! Haa…!”
She was twisting her body and letting out moans.
Her two beautiful breasts were being violently sucked inside the mouths of the parasitic tentacle worms, shaking wildly.
The worms, which had been small earlier, had swollen to several times their original size in an instant.
“Hey, you cow. How does it feel? Having your milk sucked by monsters like a baby?”
“Huuu…! Hngh…! Get lost! Haah! Aah…. Don’t bite…! Stop pulling…!”
“Puhahaha! The Valtaren family really must have given birth to a cow instead of a human. Look at you, begging a monster. You big-titted milk boy. How about coming to my ranch? I’ll raise you there. I’ll brand that huge udder of yours with my mark and milk you all day long. Of course, unlike a real cow, that useless body of yours will need to get pregnant to produce milk, so feel free to name whoever you want.”
“Khh…! You vulgar… bastard!”
Wolfram mocked her.
“You can’t do anything while a mere tentacle monster sucks your tits, yet that mouth of yours is still running. Now then, who should I choose to plant seed in that womb of yours? Since you’re a cow, shall I let you mate with another beast? If you want, I can let my prized stallion fuck you. Or perhaps letting the vagrants of my territory fill you with their seed would be fun. They’re always making a racket about Valtaren this, Valtaren that. It would be hilarious to throw you in front of them.”
“You son of a bitch! Hngh!!”
Eleanor, who had been snapping back at him, moaned and bucked her hips when he yanked on the parasitic tentacle worm.
“Or you can just say it. If you spread your legs for me willingly, I’ll kindly make you my personal sex slave.”
“Fuck off! I only have Kael! Ptui!”
Eleanor’s spit landed on Wolfram’s shirt and trickled down.
“Hmph. Even your dignity is gone now that you’ve become a fallen noble.”
“Mmm…. Get lost…. Haah! Haa…. Stop….”
“Whatever. Forcing a milk boy into submission is fun too, but I’m looking forward to the day you spread your legs and beg me. Serena!”
At Wolfram’s loud call, Serena seemed to understand his intent. She cut off another piece of the tentacle monster’s corpse and brought it to him.
Shaaaaak!
Wolfram grabbed the writhing, mouth-open parasitic tentacle worm and set it down on the floor.
Every time the worms sucked on her breasts and nipples, a mixture of Eleanor’s love juice and the semen I had left inside her flowed from her pussy, trickled across the floor, and entered the mouth of the newly placed worm.
Once the worm absorbed the fluid, it began wriggling across the floor toward Eleanor’s pussy.
“Ugh! You piece of trash!”
“I’ll be back in a little while. By then you should be full of the tentacle monster’s seed, leaking milk like a proper cow. Then I’ll raise you forever in the ranch on my estate.”
Wolfram took Serena and left.
For a moment, right before Serena disappeared, it looked like she glanced toward the hole I was peeking through…
It must have been my imagination.
Now only Eleanor remained.
Or more precisely, Eleanor, the two parasitic tentacle worms sucking on her breasts, and the one crawling toward her pussy.
“Hngh…. Hic….”
Eleanor let out wet, tearful moans as she stared at the worm approaching her pussy.
I felt a faint movement of mana from her body.
Had her condition recovered even a little…?
The brown mana flowing from Eleanor failed to take proper shape and simply formed a lumpy mass in front of the worm.
But the worm simply crawled over it without issue and continued forward.
“Hic…. Hic…. Kael… Hic….”
Tears streamed down Eleanor’s face as she called my name.
She scraped together mana once more to block the worm’s path, but it simply went over or around the obstacle and advanced without hindrance.
“Aaahh! Stop it…. Please stop ruining my breasts….”
When she tried to release another burst of mana, the worms on her chest shook violently, biting down harder.
Meanwhile, the worm crawling on the floor had drawn right up to her pussy.
“Haa…. Ngh…. Ngh…. Hoo…! Hoo…!”
Even as she flinched from the worms’ teeth and suction, she took deep breaths and gathered her mana once more.
A wall of brown light rose up in front of the worm.
The perfectly formed barrier left the worm no way through. It moved left and right in confusion, but there was no gap.
Kiiiieek!
Then the creature let out a shriek and curled its entire body.
It shot forward like a bullet and slammed into the wall.
But the wall didn’t budge.
“Hoo…. Hic…. Hic…. Haah….”
Eleanor let out a sigh of relief at the sight.
Now she just needed to slowly gather mana again and remove the worms on her chest as well…
Thud!
Suddenly, the wall of mana shook.
The worm curled up and sprang forward again.
Thud! Crack!
The incredibly thin wall she had created with such desperate effort dented and began to crack.
“No…. Please…”
Eleanor tried to gather more mana to reinforce the barrier, but the worm was faster. It tore straight through the wall.
Crack!
Twitch! Twitch!
“Ah…”
Twitch! Twitch!
But…
Why was I just standing here watching?
The woman I loved was about to accept the seed of a monster.
Her pride, her life, her goals, her love—everything that made her human—was on the verge of being shattered before my eyes.
And yet I…
-The traces of the Ancient God inside you will gradually destroy your mind.
Suddenly, Lumencia’s words echoed in my head.
The sexual perversion twisted by the Ancient God.
Voyeurism and NTR.
Was this what it had done to me…?
The parasitic tentacle worm had now reached right in front of her pussy.
Its tiny tentacles stretched out, touching her labia, preparing to burrow inside.
She watched the horrific sight for a moment, then squeezed her eyes shut and cried out.
“Haa… Haa…. Kael… Kael. Kael!!”
Squish…!
In that instant, every thought filling my mind shattered into pieces.
Only one thing remained.
Eleanor.
Boom!
By the time I came to my senses, my body was already moving.
I gripped my sword and charged at the wall.
The mana-infused blade bit into the stone.
Crack!
The fissure spread instantly.
The labyrinth wall could no longer hold and collapsed.
Stone fragments rained down in every direction.
I shielded my face with my arm and threw myself inside.
Rumble!
Debris from the ceiling crashed down behind me.
If I had been even a second slower, I would have been crushed.
But I couldn’t stop.
My mana was being consumed violently.
Even so, my feet did not falter.
Gritting my teeth, I hurled myself toward her.
And then—
Crunch!
I drove my sword straight down, impaling the parasitic tentacle worm that had already halfway entered her pussy.
Dark-red bodily fluids splattered across the labyrinth floor.
Without hesitation, I grabbed the remaining part and yanked it out of her.
Squirt!
“Haaaaah! Kael…!”
Tears poured endlessly from her eyes. Her breasts were covered in bite marks from the worms. Love juice flowed from her pussy.
Her entire body was a complete mess.
Even in that state, Eleanor looked at me with trembling eyes. Then she closed them once, opened them again, nodded, and gave me a bright smile.
“Thank you… for saving me…. That’s enough…”
“Eleanor! I’m sorry. I was too late…”
I couldn’t bring myself to tell her.
That I had gotten hard watching her break down miserably beside me.
That I could have saved her the moment Wolfram left, but had simply watched instead.
“Mmm… It’s okay. More importantly, Kael… my breasts too…. Please get the ones on my breasts off.”
The sorrowful look in her eyes as she gazed at me made my chest ache.
I nodded and reached out, grabbing the parasitic tentacle worm latched onto her breast.
Kiiiieek!
“Hngh! Kael… Gently…!”
“Ugh… Sorry.”
I pulled hard, but it only caused her more pain.
I channeled mana into my hand and slowly pried the worm away from where it clung to her breast.
Plop!
“Haa!”
When one came off, she let out a shaky breath as if freed.
Her nipple and areola were covered in countless bite marks.
At the horrific sight, Eleanor stared for a moment before turning her head away, tears streaming down her face.
“The other side too…. Please…”
“Yeah…”
I removed the one on the opposite side just as carefully.
When it was almost detached, a thin tentacle suddenly shot out from the worm’s mouth, wrapped around her nipple, and tried to pull it back in.
“Hngh! Hngh! Hngh!”
Unlike before, Eleanor twisted her whole body and moaned loudly.
“E-Eleanor?”
“Kael… since you’re here now…. I can finally feel safe…. Hic! Haang! It keeps pulling on my nipple…! Kael… get it off! Quickly… before it ruins me any more…!”
The obscene sight of her left me momentarily stunned.
Her eyes met mine for a second, then rolled upward as her whole body convulsed in climax.
“Haang! Haaaang! Haaaaah! I’m cumming!!”
Squirt! Splurt!
“Ah…!”
Only after her love juice soaked my shoes did I snap out of it. I sliced off the thin tentacle with my sword and hurled the worm against the wall, crushing it.
Then I cut away all the tentacles binding her arms.
“Kael… Thank you… for helping me…”
“…”
Looking at her as she struggled to gaze up at me, the only thing I could do was take off my clothes and cover her body with them.
She clutched my garment tightly and curled up.
Her whole body was trembling.
“What about Lucrezia…?”
“…”
I couldn’t answer right away.
That brief silence seemed to tell Eleanor everything.
Her grip tightened.
“She got swept away by the underground stream.”
Eleanor’s face hardened.
I spoke as calmly as I could.
“Lucrezia isn’t the kind of person who would die from something like that.”
At those words, Eleanor remained silent for a long time.
Then she slowly nodded.
“…Yeah.”
Her voice trembled, but she didn’t deny it.
She knew Lucrezia better than anyone.
“If it’s Lucrezia, she’ll be alive.”
“Yeah.”
“She definitely… will be alive.”
As if trying to convince herself, Eleanor muttered those words and clutched my collar even tighter.
I looked at her, then readjusted my grip on my sword.
It was still too early to feel relieved.
We had to find Lucrezia, and this labyrinth was far from over.
“Let’s move somewhere else first.”
“Mmm…”
She leaned against me and slowly began to walk.
Twitch!
Suddenly, I sensed something moving.
I turned my head and saw a twitching piece of tentacle in the corner.
My senses were so heightened that even though it was quite far, it felt close.
Twitch! Twitch!
I supported her as we moved.
There had been a place we passed on the way here where we could hide for a while. I planned to take shelter there.
“Kael…”
“Yeah…. Eleanor.”
“No, it’s nothing. Hold me tighter.”
“Yeah…”
I pulled her closer and continued walking.
