Chapter 58 (Part 1)

〈 Episode 58 〉 The Story She Couldn’t Know + IF

[Resurrection with a new body configured upon returning to the waiting room.]

[Quest 9 begins in 13D 23H.]

With a burning sensation in her chest, Asha reappeared on the bed in the waiting room. She lay there silently, tears streaming down her face. The pain in her chest, as if her flesh were burning, was insignificant compared to the ache in her heart.

“Mom! …Mom?”

“Ugh… Ugh…”

Asha heard her daughter’s voice for the first time in days, but she was so consumed by despair that the sound barely registered.

‘She wasn’t supposed to die like that, why…’

“Mom, why, what’s wrong…”

Lucia whimpered, noticing her mother’s strange condition.

“This is…”

Justitia hurriedly checked Asha’s quest log and trailed off, unable to speak. Justitia approached Asha and placed her hand on her head, causing Asha to drift off to sleep, her eyes closing. Confused, Lucia grabbed Justitia’s sleeve.

“Mom is acting strange… What happened there?”

Justitia sighed heavily. It was too heavy a story to tell young Lucia.

“I’m sorry… It’s a bit difficult to explain to Lucia… I don’t think Asha would want Lucia to know either. But if Lucia stays with her, Asha will feel better.”

Lucia regretted not insisting on going with Asha.

“I should have been with Mom…”

Justitia shook her head at Lucia’s words.

“No. If Lucia had gone, she would have surely died there. Asha’s choice was wise. If Lucia had died there too, your mother would never have been able to get up again.”

Lucia bit her lip at Justitia’s words.

‘I need to get stronger… I won’t let Mom’s body or heart get hurt again…’

Lucia vowed as she looked at her mother, asleep with tear tracks on her face.

“I don’t want Mom to be sick or sad… I want to sleep with Mom tonight.”

“Alright. Stay with her.”

Lucia carefully approached Asha and lay down beside her, being careful not to wake her. Watching Lucia close her eyes, Justitia pondered.

‘I can’t understand it… Even if the humans’ fortress is a threat, her appearance is clearly strange.’

For someone who hadn’t moved in over a decade to suddenly break her seclusion and appear in a minor local conflict was like a person coming to where ants were squabbling and pouring water on them with a bucket. Justitia took out a metal plate and began to review the latter part of Asha’s record again…

…

On the fortress wall, the Battalion Commander, on the front line, encouraged the soldiers lined up on the wall.

“Just like last time, they won’t be able to put a scratch on our Bastille Fortress! Surely no one is unhappy about fighting targets that can’t even resist, right?”

Wahahaha–

The soldiers laughed boisterously at the Battalion Commander’s words. They were fearsome Elves when encountered outside the fortress, but here, their Magic and arrows were blocked or deflected by the fortress’s barrier, while the soldiers’ arrows rained down on them without resistance.

In the previous battle, the Elves, who had to approach the fortress to some extent, suffered considerable damage from the soldiers’ attacks due to the advantage of the nearly 10-meter-high wall. The Elves, who had come in groups to intercept, had to retreat without inflicting any effective hits. The numerous soldiers who had witnessed the miracle the fortress created were full of confidence, even in the face of hundreds of Elves.

At that moment, the Elves’ camp was silent, without a single murmur. Hundreds of Elves were looking at only one person. The commander of the Elf unit knelt before a woman.

“I beg you, Aether.”

“I’m not pleased that you brought me here for something like this, but we should avoid unnecessary sacrifices…”

The woman, wearing a flowing robe, nodded at the commander’s request. Aether, her blonde hair fluttering, rose alone toward the fortress.

“What is it, why is she coming alone?”

The Battalion Commander wondered, seeing the Elf approaching alone. However, he only had one order to give to the enemy.

“Don’t let anyone stand above us! Commence firing!”

“Fire!”

Pee-peeing! Shoo-aah!

The sound of archers plucking their strings overlapped, and dozens of arrows flew toward the Elf. However, the fiercely flying arrows lost their power as they approached her and scattered in all directions. Seeing this, the Battalion Commander clicked his tongue.

‘So she did have something she was relying on…’

“Elf! What are you thinking, coming here alone!”

“Being alone is enough.”

“What?”

Phat!

In the unexpected moment, while the Battalion Commander was flustered, a man next to the Battalion Commander on the fortress wall leaped off the wall like the Wind toward her.

‘Why is that witch here!’

He was flustered by her appearance, which hadn’t been seen in over a decade, but he knew well what would happen if he gave her time. The man rushed without hesitation toward the woman floating in the air. Aether smiled, seeing him flying as fast as an arrow, despite being a human.

“Looks like someone knows me.”

“Die!”

He swung his sword, imbued with blazing Mana, with the force of his leap. It was a strike that could cleave dozens of soldiers like reeds at once, but his sword could no longer move forward and suddenly stopped.

“Ugh, Keu-geuk…!”

The man’s face contorted as he couldn’t move his sword or even his body.

‘I can’t move…’

“There isn’t much time. My training isn’t shallow enough to be disturbed by you.”

Whoong-

As she gathered her hands, the atmosphere began to fluctuate. Air currents arose, and even the trees in the forest beyond the fortress began to sway in the Wind. The Battalion Commander, who had been tense at the unusual sight, smiled confidently as Mana vibrated from the fortress and a blue barrier unfolded.

“It’s useless! No Magic works on this fortress!”

A sharp Wind was raging and a roar was echoing, but she managed to hear his words and said.

“Is the Magic you’ve experienced even a fraction of all the Magic in this world…”

Soon, a pillar connecting the sky and the earth was created around her.

Gooooo!

The Elf soldiers were already far away from her. In fact, it was closer to saying they had run away rather than kept their distance. The man in front of Aether had long been swept away by the Wind and disappeared without a trace. The soldiers’ faces changed as they saw the tornado that was several times higher than the fortress.

“I, is this okay?”

“Heu, Heuaaaa!”

Some soldiers were terrified by the phenomenon they had never seen before and fled from the wall. The deserters were immediately executed by the commanders.

“Don’t back down! Trust the Bastille Fortress!”

“Hope is… just an illusion.”

And the gray pillar struck the fortress. The barrier that had briefly blocked the great disaster soon shattered like glass. As the barrier that blocked Magic was destroyed, the aftermath of the collision swept over the fortress.

Kwaaaa– Kagang!

“N, no!”

“Uwaaaa!”

The Magic didn’t directly hit the fortress, but the shockwave from colliding with the barrier alone sent the soldiers behind the wall flying like pebbles and falling below. The sound of the fallen soldiers hitting the ground was not heard because of the tornado that had struck before their eyes.

“Keut?!”

The Battalion Commander’s face turned blue as the barrier he had trusted was shattered. He felt his hair stand on end at the sight of the swirling whirlwind right in front of him, but he quickly composed himself and immediately ordered the soldiers.

“Retreat from the fortress! Facing the Elves without a barrier is suicide! Move in order from the rear! Those who panic will die by my sword!”

However, the tornado soon disappeared. The soldiers who were retreating in fear and the commanders who were contemplating future measures were unable to come to their senses due to the rapidly changing situation.

“D, did it disappear?”

Aether was floating in the same position as before in the place where the whirlwind had disappeared. But unlike before, dazzling halos were blazing in her two hands.

“Sunlight-Synchronized.”

Jieeeing-

With her chant, hundreds of rays of light poured toward the fortress. The dazzling rays filled the fortress in an instant, illuminating it brightly. The rays extending from her hands silently activated and instantly pierced through all the soldiers on the wall without exception.

“Ah…”

The soldiers stared blankly at the wounds engraved on their bodies without a sense of reality, then collapsed like rotten pieces of wood. The wounds didn’t bleed a single drop, but the place where their hearts should have been was empty.

“…”

Soon, the entire fortress was dominated by silence. The Battalion Commander on the wall was also a corpse, his head and chest pierced. The smell of burning and a thick ozone smell spread into the air among the corpses.

“Sweeping with the Wind isn’t bad either, but there are still some of my kind here.”

Aether conveyed her last words to the humans who could no longer answer. Having instantly killed not only the soldiers on the wall but also all the humans in the fortress, she merely wore the indifferent expression of someone who had finished her job. She was about to turn back to the Elves after finishing her work, but she stopped in her tracks again.

“Survivor? No, it was outside the fortress. Limiting the location led to this…”

Aether, who had instantly annihilated all the soldiers inside the fortress, disappeared from the spot to deal with the remaining survivors.

…

Justitia saw Asha and Zack being killed together at the end of the quest. She was able to observe the place for a while longer even after Asha’s death. Aether, who had taken off Asha’s helmet and seemed a little embarrassed, stayed still for a while and then disappeared from the spot with Asha’s body.

“Even if it’s at the request of her kind, Aether, why… She should have been in her lab…”

Aether, who had single-handedly annihilated nearly half of the human allied forces with a typhoon in the conflict between humans and Elves 18 years ago, had since been called the Witch of the Wind within the kingdom, filled with terror. After that, the Artua Kingdom, which had been somewhat relieved that she had not appeared in any local battles, suffered another terrible loss as one of its elite regiments was completely evaporated by her.

“It’s still difficult to know with just this. But why did she take Asha’s body…”

Even if Asha died outside, she could be recreated based on the original body in this place, and her soul could inhabit the new body to be resurrected. Her body, killed outside, would remain there as it was. Asha’s body, who had suffocated to death during the first quest, would also be rolling around as a skeleton on an unnamed hill. Leaving behind the unresolved concerns, she began to think about what to do with Asha afterward.

Aether, who had killed Asha and Zack with a casual gesture, suddenly had a small question and took off Asha’s helmet.

‘Come to think of it, it was a voice I had heard somewhere…’

“Ugh, this face is…!”

Startled, she cast a preservation spell on the corpse. Aether summoned the Elf commander.

–

Commander, can you hear me?

–

Yes, Guardian. What’s the matter?

–

Something urgent has come up. Can I entrust the rescue of our kind to you?

–

Of course. We can do it well enough on our own. Thank you for your support, Aether.

–

Thank you.

After finishing the communication, Aether returned to her lab with Asha’s body. It was a distance of over thousands of kilometers, but moving to the designated location was well within her capabilities. After stepping on the floor, she put Asha’s body in the preservation room. Aether, who had cut off all the cumbersome heavy armor and clothes with Magic, chuckled as she looked at the doodles and the pins stuck in Asha’s nipples and the instruction manual remaining on Asha’s body.

“Her voice sounded familiar, so it was you, Asha. Hehe, in this state… I really wanted to meet you, but I never thought I would kill you with my own hands. I didn’t recognize you because you were wearing a helmet.”

Aether entered a large room connected to the lab. In the dark room, a black Crystal ball the size of her and three small Crystal balls were placed on a blue metal stand. Aether manipulated the small Crystal ball. Soon, light spread out from the Crystal ball and replayed a scene.

Aether made a sullen expression as she looked at the Orcs and Asha reflected in the Crystal ball.

“Asha, the chance to meet you has disappeared like this… Should I have gone to find you myself?”

The huge black Crystal ball, which had already started operating, showed a woman with silver hair and blue skin walking across a field.

“Eva, are you thinking of leaving?”

Walter and Eva, and Georg were in the field where the entrance to the village could be seen.

“Yes, Elder. There’s nothing that will threaten the village anymore, is there?”

“Hmm, well. That’s right. Actually, there’s nothing much here for Eva to be here. But I’m a little sad that you’re leaving.”

“I’ll miss you, Walter.”

“It’s not like we’ll never see each other again. We’ll have a connection again later.”

Georg, who had been watching their conversation, said goodbye.

“I’m still far behind you, but next time we meet, I’ll make sure to be standing where you’re looking. Eva, stay safe until then.”

“Don’t worry. Honestly, I don’t know what can threaten me these days.”

Her words sounded arrogant at first glance, but at the base of it was her confidence in her own power, which could directly perform earth-shattering feats. Georg laughed at Eva’s words.

“Haha… Yeah, it’s probably right to worry about the things you meet. See you again. I won’t see you off.”

“Hey, if you’ve come this far, you should see me off. Well, take care, Georg. Elder, stay healthy.”

“Okay. I hope you find what you’re looking for.”

Leaving the two men behind, Eva set off on the road to leave the village.

‘I’m just bored being in the village all the time. In many ways…’

Eva smiled.

IF – Asha, in charge of food storage aging warehouse

“Ah…”

Asha was left abandoned in the corner of the hallway like trash after being used by the soldiers.

“Ugh! What’s that smell…”

Looking at her body covered in doodles and Semen, the soldiers covered their noses with disgust and turned away from her. A group of soldiers approached her.

“Sergeant, is this it?”

“Ah, I think so. They said she was coming today, but everyone’s already used her. Guys, do some work, hygiene is important in the kitchen.”

“Yes, sir. Should we erase the doodles too?”

“Huh? What does it matter? Just wipe it clean so it doesn’t smell. Oh, the Yoni has to be washed clean to the inside.”

“Yes!”

The three soldiers put her in a Duffle bag and headed somewhere.

The soldiers, who washed off the Semen on Asha’s body and took out the Semen in her Yoni, moved her to the kitchen. The cook, who had been waiting there, urged the soldiers when they returned.

“Okay, let’s do it quickly. Did you wash her well?”

“We washed her roughly like pig intestines.”

When the soldiers took Asha out of the bag, she was clean with her skin turned red, just as they had said. Instead, the doodles and Usage Log that they hadn’t bothered to pay attention to while wiping Asha were still decorating her body.

“Ugh, she looks tempting again after being washed like this. Ah, that’s not important…”

“We roughly wiped her and shot two loads, sir.”

The cook grumbled at the soldiers’ confession.

“You couldn’t stand it… Did you wipe her well again after using her?”

“Do you think we can’t handle this after all this time? We wiped her clean like new.”

“Hehe… She’s a heavily used secondhand item. But it’s normal for the Yoni and nipples to be worn out if they’re used like that, but she’s unique.”

The sergeant slapped Asha’s Yoni. Her Yoni looked fine even though dozens of soldiers had poked at it just now. He carefully examined the inside of her Yoni by spreading her labia with his fingers and nodded.

“This is enough as a material. Bring me what’s over there.”

Chief had the Soldiers bring long Metal tubes and peeled Eggs. Meanwhile, he tied Asha’s limbs to the table, positioning her Yoni upwards. Chief placed the tube brought by the Soldiers against Asha’s Yoni and ordered her to spread it wide.

“Yes, a little more. All the way in. Heave-ho!”

“Ugh…!”

The sudden sensation of the thick tube being inserted forcibly aroused Asha.

“Oh, you’re awake? No, spread it wider. It’s not all the way in yet.”

“Hee♥”

Chief didn’t care that she had regained consciousness and shoved the tube deep into her Vagina. After inserting the tube into Asha’s Yoni, he inserted the Eggs one by one along the tube. The Eggs rolled down the tube and piled up inside her Womb.

“Ugh♥ Wh-what are you doing…? Where am I?”

Even Asha, who had been numb, stammered in confusion.

“You’re being noisy. Shut her up.”

“Yes, Chief.”

“Wa, wait, ugh!”

Asha, who was about to say something, couldn’t close her mouth because a Soldier shoved a large peeled potato into it. With her cheeks bulging, she could only make muffled sounds as they tied a rope around her mouth. Meanwhile, Chief finished putting all the dozens of Eggs he had brought into Asha’s Vagina and Womb.

An ordinary woman wouldn’t have been able to accept that many Eggs, but Asha’s body automatically opened her cervix and succeeded in holding them in her Womb, making her belly slightly bulge. Asha made a stuffy expression, feeling something full in her lower abdomen.

“Good, it holds quite a lot. It’ll be ready after a full day. Now, put her away.”

“Yes, Chief!”

“Heugh♥”

Chief, who finished by plugging her Yoni with a cork, dusted off his hands and started cooking something else. The Soldiers picked up the restrained Asha and placed her next to the pile of ingredients. Asha, unable to ask questions with her mouth blocked, didn’t understand her situation.

‘Why are they doing this to me…? Where am I?’

But no Soldier answered her question, and Asha was left alone in the food storage all day.

After questioning her whereabouts for a while, Asha, left in the dark storage, soon fell asleep. Her Womb was full of Eggs, and she was restrained with her mouth unable to close properly, but humans are creatures of adaptation, and she somehow managed to fall asleep in an uncomfortable position.

The next day, Asha woke up to the touch of people’s hands. Unlike yesterday, she was fixed in a position with her legs wide open, and her face flushed as she saw the Chief and many Soldiers staring intently at her Yoni.

‘Wh-what are you looking at…?’

After pondering something, Chief pulled out the cork that had been plugged into Asha’s Vagina.

“Heugh♥”

He slapped Asha’s butt.

“Now, take out the Eggs.”

‘Take them out? Ugh?!’

When Asha only twitched her Yoni and remained still, a Soldier inserted a carrot into her anus from behind.

“Heeeuht♥”

When the raw carrot, which had only been wiped without cutting the leaves, was inserted, it went all the way in as if the carrot was planted in Asha’s body, with only the leaves sticking out. The sudden stimulation from her back hole made Asha twitch and start spitting out the Eggs that were in her Womb through her Vagina. As the Eggs that had been in her Womb for a day came out intact, Chief clenched his fist.

“That’s right, that’s right! Good job!”

“But doesn’t it say to manage the supplies well here? Is it okay to use it like this?”

A Soldier scratched his head and poked the manual attached to Asha’s nipple. Chief replied as if it was a hassle.

“Does it look like they’re managing it well with that thing stuck in her nipple? It’s fine as long as it doesn’t break.”

“Ah, yes.”

“That’s not important… Now, what are you doing not continuing to take them out? Poke her anus a little.”

“Heou♥ Heugeuht♥”

As the Soldier moved the carrot inserted in her back hole back and forth, Asha trembled with pleasure and quickly spat out the Eggs from her lower mouth. After Asha was tormented by having her anus poked for several minutes and took out all the Eggs that were in her Womb, Chief looked at the Eggs with loving eyes. He brought his nose close and smelled them.

“Sniff… unique… very good… I didn’t expect much because it’s a tattered used Yoni, but it’s well aged! Good, let’s try something else.”

‘You put it in my Womb and aged it…?’

Asha was very embarrassed by the Chief’s bizarre behavior. His actions, from beginning to end, were so strange that they awakened Asha, who had been numb from being abused until then. Asha, who was bewildered, was horrified when she saw the dozens of Eggs that Chief brought.

‘Again?! St, stop!’

“Ugh!”

“Chief, I think she’s saying something.”

“Ah, I don’t know. Put more in, more.”

“Heouuuk♥”

And so, Asha was brought to the kitchen for several days and became an Aging warehouse.
