Chapter 120: Lucy, Get Down!

Chapter 120: Lucy, Get Down!

“Damn it…”

Scarlett muttered a curse.

She scowled and stared at the blood clot floating in the air.

Exploding a medium to block tracking is common.

This is a method actually used by various criminal mages to evade pursuit.

However, magic that uses human blood like this is not common.

No, it generally cannot be used.

‘Dark magic…’

The word flashed through Scarlett’s mind.

It’s certain. She had also read books about dark magic, so she knew it very well.

Handling and controlling human blood and minds.

That is the essence and the most basic of dark magic.

Snap-

The judgment was instantaneous, and the decision was very quick.

She snapped her fingers and immediately summoned a gale.

If she left that unattended for too long, she didn’t know what would happen.

Kwagagagag!

Simultaneously, the gale tore the blood clot, which had a human face, to shreds.

But it wasn’t very effective.

“Th-this… so rudely… tearing me apart… is too cruel…?”

His pronunciation was grotesquely distorted, as if his jaw was torn.

Euston, with a tense expression, clenched his fists in front of Scarlett.

He instinctively sensed it.

Even though he could deflect most magic or ranged attacks with his bare hands.

He couldn’t see a way to counter that.

Scarlett also couldn’t see a way to eliminate it, so she kept twitching her fingers.

Soon, dozens of spells quietly settled in the area.

All of them were spells for protection and counterattack.

“Oh, oh… To use so many spells at once. Truly… you are the human I chose!”

“…Damn it. Why are you here?”

The blood clot, having regenerated, chattered excitedly.

If there wasn’t a corpse beneath it.

It would have been quite a cheerful conversation.

“Don’t be so harsh. I just wanted to chat a little.”

“…Get lost. I have nothing to say to you.”

“Hahaha, just as I thought, you’re so prickly. Recently, you’ve been following me, so I sent you a letter.”

‘That’s quite a show for a letter.’

Scarlett swallowed dryly and put some distance between herself and the blood clot.

If he had intended to kill her, the previous ambush would have been the perfect opportunity.

The fact that he didn’t make any move then.

Was it capriciousness, or arrogance?

She had no way of knowing now.

“How was it? Did you like the letter?”

“…I have no intention of participating in your idiotic entertainment.”

“Oh, dear… It’s too much. Still, I sent a northern elf with some care.”

“Stop the nonsense..! If you have something to say, say it! What is your intention?! What’s the meaning of this dog-like behavior!!”

In the continuing subtle war of words, Scarlett was enraged.

Scarlett, shouting at the top of her lungs with a sudden surge of anger.

Her choked voice echoed through the basement.

She thought she could finally be happy with Cecil.

But then, to ruin everything?

She couldn’t forgive it. It was hard to suppress the boiling hatred.

The blood clot chuckled at Scarlett, who was puffing with anger.

It seemed to think, ‘I’ve teased her enough now.’

Then, it pursed its large mouth.

The blood clot spoke.

“Whoa, whoa. Calm down. The reason I came to deliver the letter myself is to express my gratitude.”

“What…?”

Scarlett showed an expression of bewilderment.

And slowly.

An ominous sign began to appear on her face.

“You raised the sacrifice to ‘completion’ so well, so shouldn’t I express my gratitude?”

“Wait a minute… What do you mean by that-“

“Hahaha! You’ll find out later! Until then, please keep her in good condition!”

Shiiiiiiiik-

After saying that, the blood clot slowly began to swell.

“Ah, no…”

Scarlett collapsed onto the floor with a dazed expression.

All the circumstances up to that point were telling Scarlett.

That his words were not mere nonsense.

Euston bit his lip tightly for a moment.

Then, he spread open his outer coat, used it as a shield, and hugged Scarlett tightly.

Scarlett, whom he hugged, was trembling uncontrollably.

Boooom!

Hardened blood, like ice shards, pierced Euston’s body countless times.

Fortunately, his body wasn’t injured at all, but.

“No.. No..”

Scarlett’s condition didn’t look good.

Her body trembled, and her breathing became rough.

She had been doing so well until now.

It was no surprise that Carlson had poked that fragile mind and made it burst.

Then Euston, who was hugging her tightly.

He clenched his fists and repeatedly bit his lips.

Hoping that Scarlett’s anxiety would be alleviated, even a little.

He knew that the hole in her heart was too big to be filled by anything less than something intense, but.

Euston still hoped.

Just as he had been able to gain a second life.

That she too could find peace.

No matter what the cost.

“..Young Lady.”

Creak-

The door opened, and Scarlett entered the room as usual.

She looked quite exhausted.

She also seemed somewhat urgent.

“Are you sick..?”

“No.. No. Just, a little tired.”

Then Scarlett climbed onto the bed and hugged me tightly.

Her face looked somewhat precarious, so I unconsciously kissed her soft cheek.

Then Scarlett smiled weakly.

Every time I saw her lovely smile, I realized that I loved her.

However, I also realized that this relationship was not normal.

Scarlett brought me to the mansion to use me as a sacrifice.

Then what were her actions to protect me?

‘She doesn’t seem to be betraying the kingdom.’

I didn’t know.

There was nothing I could know, so I just stared blankly into Scarlett’s eyes.

At the same time, Scarlett placed her hand on my back.

Her slender fingers wiggled on my bare skin.

It tickled. And yet, it held a strange excitement.

Chup.

I made a blank expression and kissed Scarlett’s cheek once more.

Her warm lips naturally met mine, and.

Her sweet tongue and my tongue intertwined.

“Hoo-eum.. Heuu..”

As I wildly mixed our tongues, shallow moans began to escape Scarlett’s lips.

It was a tongue technique I learned from her.

Scarlett hugged me tightly and enjoyed the kiss for a while.

Then, she slowly took off her clothes.

I entrusted my body to her touch as she kneaded every part of me.

Occasionally, I let out shallow breaths and stared at Scarlett with lust-filled eyes.

“Haa.. Ha.. I love you.. Cecil.. I love you…”

She repeatedly said ‘I love you’ and then climbed on top of me.

She proceeded to caress the parts I liked the most.

Licking my collarbone and caressing my nape.

Then, she playfully flicked my erect nipples, then twisted them firmly.

My lower part was gaping, and my arousal fluid flowed out like water.

“Young Lady..”

A moaning voice escaped me unconsciously, and.

Scarlett, who had a dark expression until just now, made an even more complex face, and.

“..Cecil.”

“Yes..”

“You’ll.. stay by my side, right..?”

She said in a trembling voice.

Her eyes were moist.

She bowed her head deeply, and her body trembled with a strange anxiety.

I knew without her having to say it.

Now, Scarlett had been pushed to her limit.

She was struggling greatly with all this anxiety and pressure.

The words I could say there were obvious.

“Yes. Young Lady.”

At the end of those words, tears streamed from Scarlett’s eyes.

She smiled widely, as if she couldn’t be happier.

And then she hugged me tightly, pressing her moist lower part against my pussy.

In that state, we faced each other and mixed our tongues.

Scarlett moved her hips back and forth, letting out rough breaths.

Like that, for a long time, to the point of suffocation.

We desperately felt each other’s scent and taste, sharing body heat.

Like the mating of slugs, we pressed our skin together stickily and lovingly.

Feeling as if Scarlett’s warm body heat and breath were filling me, I.

Unconsciously became engrossed and kissed her roughly.

Slurp, squish-

“Heup.. Heueup..”

While kissing, Scarlett moved her lower abdomen sensually, pressing her pussy against mine.

Then she lifted my legs, crossing them like scissors.

“Haa.. Haaaaa..”

Her face looked quite exhausted, yet she was completely immersed.

It wasn’t her usual relaxed expression.

Scarlett was simply, as a person, and as a lover who couldn’t control her lust.

Violently clashing her body and love against mine.

Squish, squelch-

“Cecil.. Cecil..”

Our crevices twitched in rhythm with our kissing and movements.

The silver thread covered the pink petals, imbued with a lewd glow.

“Heut, heueup, heueueueut..!”

Scarlett, who had been wildly rubbing her pussy and trembling her hips.

She, for the first time, reached climax first.

Her clit was erect, and her convulsing body momentarily stiffened.

And then she laid her heated body on top of mine.

I kissed her lovely forehead with a ‘chup’ sound.

“..It’s still not enough.”

But Scarlett didn’t seem satisfied yet.

Slightly gaping her pussy, she laboriously got up.

Afterward, we both wildly intertwined our bodies, confirming our love for each other.

Passionately, and more tenaciously than ever before.

Like lovers who would never see each other again.

“..Young Lady. Are you awake?”

“Uh-huh..”

When I opened my eyes, Lucy was shaking my body.

I pushed up my heavy eyelids and stared at the dimly lit room.

Lucy was holding a small, stone-like object in her hand.

“I’m sorry for waking you. This is the only time I have to give you something like this at night..”

“No. It’s okay. What is that?”

I smiled sweetly and shook my head.

Next to me, Scarlett was sound asleep, her face looking utterly exhausted.

Carefully, so as not to wake her, I moved my feet towards the window where moonlight streamed in.

Lucy followed me closely.

What she then handed me was a pretty, small stone the size of a ping-pong ball.

“It’s a guardian stone to protect Young Lady. I put my magic and Oli’s magic into it, so it will protect Young Lady’s body and mind from various hallucinations and fatal injuries, just once.”

“A g-guardian stone.. Isn’t that really valuable..?”

“It’s okay. Young Lady has a weak body.. I think you’ll need this.”

My eyes widened at the unbelievable words.

A guardian stone, befitting its effect, was an expensive and difficult-to-obtain item.

To hand something like this to me.

I smiled sweetly at Lucy and happily accepted the guardian stone.

“Thank you. I’ll cherish it.”

“Y-you can use it freely. It was made for that purpose anyway..”

“Uh-huh. It’s a gift from Lucy, so how could I use it carelessly?”

Despite Lucy’s words, I held the guardian stone very carefully and tightly.

It would be nice if I had a pocket to carry it in.

“I’d be happy if you cherished it, but..”

Then Lucy blushed and smiled shyly.

She had grown, but she was still cute.

I chuckled and stroked Lucy’s head.

The moonlight was particularly bright today. Her pretty face was even more visible.

But.

Amidst the dreamlike moonlight, something like a black figure caught my eye.

At first, I thought it was just a bird flying.

“..Lucy.”

But unfortunately, that was just a misconception.

“Hehe.. Yes. If you only have that, it’ll be hard to carry, so maybe a pocket or something-“

“Get down!!”

Lucy looked very cute when she was embarrassed, but.

She couldn’t finish her sentence.

Shiiiiiiiiiik-

Because the figure seen outside was growing larger and larger.

The figure was taking on a very familiar outline, and.

CRASH!

Towards the window, a huge Dragon’s head suddenly burst in.
