Sleeping Female Knight and Tentacles -2
Sleeping Female Knight and Tentacles -2
The early stages were the biggest hurdle.
At first, its body was so small that it could only take in tiny amounts of everything.
Whether it was sleep gas or its food, it all came in meager portions.
It took forever to put her to sleep, and forever to consume the food.
In the end, the efficiency was fucking awful.
If you had to compare it, it felt like scooping water with a leaky spoon.
And it wasn't just the quantity that was the problem.
'Uh, she's waking up...?'
It had to pour all its focus into even the slightest twitch of her body, staying perfectly still like a dead mouse.
Before she woke up, it had to clean up any traces of the sleep gas.
So the actual time it could put her to sleep and feed was way less.
But there was definitely time to grow little by little.
And as time passed, the growth speed picked up.
...
......
After a few days, the tentacles grew more.
Chwiiiiiik...
The slightly bulkier tentacles spread thin, assimilating almost every part of the wall.
So even as its overall size increased, it didn't look much different.
But the clear fact was that its body was now decently big.
[Now it's got enough mass to transmit properly.]
[Phew... Now I can finally feed at a leisurely pace, right?]
[Where's the leisure in that? Even if you eat your ass off, one slip-up and it's game over.]
The Main Body immediately shot down the Clone's relief.
It was still a constant crisis.
Still, it was undeniably true that the difficulty of growing had eased up compared to before.
With the bigger body, it could receive more support from the Main Body.
[Get to it quick.]
[Got it...]
Chwiiiiiik...
When night fell again, it sprayed sleep gas.
More volume and stronger than before, the sleep gas filled the room instantly.
"Mmgh......"
It could now deliver and spray the sleep gas much faster.
The Female Knight fell asleep faster and deeper than yesterday.
"Mmm......"
Now the tentacles could feed more freely.
Crunch crunch...
That cycle repeated.
The tentacles' body grew bigger.
Then the Female Knight slept deeper.
Then the tentacles took in more food and devoured it.
Then the tentacles' body grew even bigger again.
It was big enough.
Not just the Clone thought so—the Main Body did too.
[Now let's merge the original fragments and recreate that Clone.]
Tentacles were different from regular living beings.
No matter how small it shattered into a Clone, it was still a part of the Main Body's thoughts.
"Existence doesn't vanish, but it's not maintained either."
It asked the tentacle fragment that had been in the ruins.
"Ready?"
"I guess we have to eventually..."
Of course, the one being merged didn't feel great about it, but all tentacles were originally one.
[I'll send sleep gas first.]
[Okay.]
Chwiiiiiik...
This time, it had to put her to sleep extra deep.
Because this was the crucial process of merging the two tentacle fragments to recreate the Clone.
It might get a bit noisy, so it needed maximum depth.
"......"
The sleep gas spread thick, filling the room.
No tossing or sleep-talking—she was out cold, super deep.
[She's deep asleep.]
[Then here it comes.]
The Main Body slowly swallowed the tentacle fragment here.
To transmit it as accurately as possible, it savored it slowly.
[Summon and fuse it first.]
And so the Main Body sent the tentacle fragment from here.
...Hyap!
The tentacles in the Female Knight's room deployed a Summoning Circle.
"Urgh..."
Then a tentacle fragment of similar composition was summoned.
"So you're another survivor."
"If we combine our power..."
They didn't so much converse as continue each other's thoughts seamlessly.
"Yeah..."
"Let's do it."
And so the tentacles attempted fusion.
Insane potential always evolved toward strength.
Wriggle...
Wriggle wriggle......
Not one devouring the other, but their tentacles extending and intertwining like tangled threads.
"Ah... Ah......"
The fused self recovered more information than the two had separately.
About the Hero's conditioning.
And knowledge of the tools for that conditioning.
Finally...
Even the vague blueprint of the Magic Tool that extended that time surfaced.
"It's been a while... Revival, huh."
In a place the Hero didn't know, the revival of the tentacles—the thing the Hero feared more than the Demon King—began.
Wriggle...
Wriggle wriggle wriggle wriggle wriggle wriggle wriggle......
The tentacles writhed, rapidly recreating the previous Clone as much as possible.
It quickly pieced together the fragmented info from its shattered state.
It nearly reproduced the Clone's memories from back then.
But the ego wasn't exactly the same as before.
[Sorry I put you in a tough spot...]
[I'm just glad you get it now.]
[But... that's all I learned there.]
Because it wasn't just malicious info like before—it had received the Main Body's info too.
But there was still more from that side.
[Anyway, since we've started this, I'll hustle.]
Tentacles on a whole new level extended out.
[Then... this woman as the first target?]
Now the start of despairing conditioning began again.
[The Magic Tool that controls time... Can you make it?]
[To recreate the previous performance... It'll need more research.]
Wriggle wriggle.
Tick... Tock...
A crude knockoff Magic Tool was made.
[Need to improve the performance.]
[If you need anything, say so... And you know what we discussed before, right?]
[Of course.]
Don't kill.
Instead, break body and mind.
That was their sole apology for starting this mess with a preemptive strike.
But these tentacles couldn't possibly understand that it was a more horrific future for regular women.
[By the way... Let's condition this Female Knight too while we're at it.]
[What, without running away?]
[Better than getting killed by this Female Knight while fleeing, I figure.]
The tentacles recalled the conditioning tool recipes.
[And if the whole Hero Party is the goal, this Female Knight's included...]
All the conditioning info was with it.
[Need anything, just say...]
[Got it.]
And the connection cut off.
'Back to the start, huh...'
How to condition her.
For now, it didn't have the Sealing Device recipe.
And if the Female Knight woke even once, it was over.
But now the tentacles could analyze, replicate, and research internally on their own.
It could even analyze the sleep gas like that.
Chwiiiiiik......
Compared to before, it was spraying sleep gas close to poison levels.
"......"
Tap tap.
To test if the Female Knight reacted, it made a sub-tentacle and poked around the bedroom.
"Good."
First, the aphrodisiac.
To block any unexpected reflexive response, it jabbed just one syringe.
"......"
She winced a bit, but seemed fine.
Even pain stimuli wouldn't wake her.
Then it started right away.
Purple aphrodisiac liquid.
Not just temporarily boosting sensitivity, but permanently.
It loaded dozens of syringes extending from the tentacles.
And—
Squish♡
Injected them all at once.
For now, without the time-extension ability, it couldn't strip her clothes or anything.
It'd have to settle for moderate today.
It stuck multiple syringes into visible spots: neck, legs, arms.
"Hmm......♡"
A slight squirm with excitement mixed in.
Not just syringes—it slowly soaked the Female Knight in aphrodisiac with other means too.
Hiss♡ Hiss♡
Right in front of her nose, it aerosolized aphrodisiac liquid for her to inhale.
She slowly breathed in the dangerous aphrodisiac affecting her nose and nearby head.
"Mmng...♡"
Drip...♡
Even without stimulation, a strand of vaginal fluid flowed from her vagina.
"Haa......♡"
Hah hah...♡
Her breathing got one level lewder.
Regrettably, that was it for today.
...
......
"Somehow feels even more refreshed than before."
Blissfully unaware, Bersia woke up feeling refreshed.
She had no idea it was from sleeping deeper that she felt more refreshed.
"Hm?"
But she looked at the slight vaginal fluid stain on her panties.
"...Too tired, I guess."
With zero experience in such matters down to her bones as a knight, she brushed it off.
She was very slowly crossing a river she could never return from.
