*****

There is one thing that I have always wondered about while working with Schneizer. Evil Drake was the stage 1 boss in the game Yggdrasil Saga. Where is that guy now?

In the game, as his appearance got closer, monsters imbued with evil mana ran rampant, but in reality, there was no sign of that happening at all. Even though it’s been over half a year since I came here.

There are a total of four stages. There are 5 years left until the end of humanity’s extinction. In that case, I was hypothesizing that, excluding travel time, each region was given a period of about a year.

That’s why I was confused because there was no sign even after half a year had passed, and I was relieved because there was still half a year left.

But what if the deadline isn’t set that way? What if the evolution of the boss monster has already begun and I just don’t know about it?

The answer to that vague feeling of anxiety was the sight before my eyes.

“In Wooden Rank, don’t fight and focus on evacuating! If you fight anyway, you will die!”

“Home, my home!”

“Who is the idiot who sent support to the entertainment district? The alleys are complicated there so it’s a waste of time!”

“Woman, there’s a monster here too… !”

Burning and collapsing buildings, hordes of monsters swarming from broken castle walls, and even confused people. Turkan, which had been a prosperous city until this morning, was rapidly approaching decline.

At the center is a dragon of black light flying above the clock tower and roaring. It is Ruind Dragon, one of the evolutions of Evil Drake.

“Fire!!”

“────!!”

A group of wizards organized by the Adventurer’s Guild shoot out magic according to the signal. However, the colorful projectiles raining down from the ground are all rendered ineffective by the black flames emitted by the dragon, and the wizards are swept away.

The city is falling apart again, and screams and voices calling for help echo everywhere. I can’t do anything and just have to watch it quietly.

If this is punishment, what crime have I committed?

“No, TS. I know it’s painful, but please wait. Without you, this city would really end.”

“… Yes, I guess.”

Did it look like she was going to run away at any moment, or was it her own way of cheering? The receptionist next to me held my hand tightly.

The adventurers currently in the guild cannot even inflict proper damage to the Ruind Dragon. I am the only one who can make a meaningful attack. Therefore, the guild’s only option was to somehow drop the dragon with other adventurers and send me there.

Actually, I’m not sure if that policy has any meaning. Because this scene shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Although not as good as the Abyss Dragon, Ruind Dragon is also a high-level monster. Dealing with someone at the level of Stage 1 is beyond reckless and ridiculous.

Can you cut that thing down? If you hold the sword and ask yourself, the answer will come quickly. You can ring. However, whether or not they are opponents is a completely different question.

Both his knowledge of the game and his sense as a swordsman warn him that challenging that dragon is suicidal. But, conversely, that was also the reason I wanted to charge. Even if something is already wrong at the point when such a monster pops out, it is definitely wrong.

If this is the result of my judgment and choice, I want to save as many people as possible.

Even if it’s just simple self-satisfaction.

“Under the bell tower, now!”

As soon as the receptionist gives a signal, I kick off the ground and run. Normally, I would have taken turns along the road, but since it was already half-ruined, I rushed in a straight line, cutting down the obstacles blocking my way one by one.

The square under the bell tower we arrived at in a hurry was empty. For a moment, the possibility that something was wrong crossed my mind. Quickly shaking off my weakness, I held on to the handle of the sword and quietly gathered my strength. Now I have no choice but to trust the guild and other adventurers.

And after a while. A huge lizard fell from the sky and landed on the stone floor of the square.

[Baldo – Sakwol]

Coo!

Kwaja Jajajak!

The loud sound of a massive body hitting the ground, and the sharp sound of something solid breaking, were scattered throughout the square.

The feeling was there. The feeling of splitting the scales and tearing the skin inside remains in my fingertips. But at the same time, I felt it wasn’t that deep.

Immediately after, I felt a strange premonition, and as soon as I stepped back, a log-like tail swept past me a mere span of distance in front of my nose.

“────!!”

“Ugh… !”

The dragon roared once, perhaps in anger at being injured. Even if I cover my ears, the sound is so loud that it feels like my legs are going to give out.

As the dust that rose during the collision flew away, the dragon’s entire body was revealed. I was clearly aiming for the wings. It was the front foot that was cut and bleeding.

Considering that even the bones inside are faintly visible, it is clearly not a light wound. However, the current blow was prepared in advance and the best blow was struck by complete surprise. At the point where it ended with a ‘moderate injury’, the power gap with Dragon was clear.

The dragon was glaring at me with its eyes wide open, probably because it had recognized me as an enemy due to the previous attack. I probably won’t be able to strike a blow like this again.

Still, if this is the case, I won’t be targeting other people. I was suppressing my hands that were shaking from tension and fear, and was thinking about how I could hold on to the dragon for a little while.

“There are still children like this left.”

“Ugh!?”

Grumble. As if a curtain is being spread, the surrounding scenery is being painted over as an empty space. Judging from the effect, it is probably [Barrier]. It is a magic that surrounds the space designated by the caster and blocks interference from the surroundings.

I tried to get out of the range right away, but the magic was completed faster than that. My heart sank as I saw the dragon being hidden in front of my eyes.

“Oh my, now I see that kid from last time. How did you like the tentacles I gave you?”

“Release this barrier immediately, quickly!”

“That’s difficult. I never thought there would be a human here who could cut that thing down. Well, that doesn’t mean the ‘wreck’ will fall. Don’t you know what’s going on in the world?”

So please play with me for a while. The pink-haired succubus I saw in the dungeon smiled and said.

This is dangerous. Even if the guild was in good condition, it was in a crisis, and right now, half of the top adventurers, including Schneizer, were out. If I fall in, everyone will really die.

Why is this guy here, why is he doing this, etc. I have a lot of questions, but I have to put them aside for now. The important thing is to get out of here as quickly as possible.

“We met like this because it was fate, so why don’t we talk about it? Ah, I am Prim Rose, the 4th Demon Commander of the Demon King’s Army——Kya!”

Puzzle! The sound of a blade cutting through a barrier cuts off the succubus’s words. The defense was pierced, but the succubus escaped into the air.

If possible, I just wanted to kill him. If you still fail, there is nothing you can do. After quickly scanning the surroundings, I prepared my next attack.

“It’s good to be cheerful, but I guess you forgot who put the curse on you. Look, if you do it like this——huh?”

The expression of the succubus who was fiddling with the magic circle was tinged with embarrassment. This may be because the tentacle that was being controlled by the curse did not even show any sign of moving.

Interpretation and changes to the curse have already been completed for a long time. The only one who can control these tentacles now is Schneizer. Any other interference is blocked by the old alchemist.

While the succubus was surprised, I quickly climbed up the nearby wall. Unlike the outside, there are limits to the space above due to the barrier. If you use the buildings well, my attacks can reach you too.

“F, Flame Arrow!”

Grumble! Arrows of flame bloom in the air and are shot at me while I am floating in the air. Should I ignore it or block it? After a brief moment of thought, I swat away the flying flames and land on the ground once again.

Still, I’m pretty sure I figured it out just now. This succubus may be on the sexy side, but her direct combat power is definitely weak. Because in the western part of the continent, demons cannot demonstrate their power. That guy probably didn’t hit this barrier either.

Of course, my body is weak from sexual attacks right now, but if I don’t even give them a chance to do that in the first place, that’s fine. The moment I tried to jump up again with the intention of pushing him in the air and cutting him down.

Hook, and do it. The strength drained from my entire body like an ebb and flow.

“Heh, eh… ?♡”

“Ahh! … huh? what. Has it already taken effect? Oh, really?”

“Well, this is it… ♡”

It’s really difficult just to lose strength. The inside of my body became hot and my lower abdomen began to throb mercilessly. My mind, which was just thinking about how to win, suddenly becomes a mess.

I remember a situation like now. I was in heat like this when I was unlucky enough to encounter a tentacle while leveling.

Fortunately, I was able to escape somehow at that time. why? Suddenly in this situation? There are no tentacles or slime in sight here. Only the body is going into heat as if a switch had been pressed.

“What are you doing to me? , I did it… ♡”

“I just sprayed the tentacle pheromone to make it moderately aroused. I never thought it would be this effective… . How long have you been pestering the tentacles? Wake up, kid… .”

Pheromones? Now that I think about it, it seems like there’s a bit of a tentacle smell around… ?

As I finally grasped the situation, I felt as if my heart had stopped. I can’t believe I went into heat against these demons when I was running away from even the tentacles of miscellaneous mobs. There’s no way you can win something like that.

The succubus, which had not thought about coming down from the air just a moment ago, also came down as if everything was over. It’s coming towards you openly as if you’re going to cut it somewhere. That empty-headed figure is now more frightening than a dragon.

“Wow ──!!”

As if in a half-struggling manner, I swung my sword at the succubus. A cut so sloppy that even a proper adventurer would think it would be better than this. But surprisingly, it cut the black succubus diagonally and passed by.

For a moment, I was dazed by the unexpected results. As soon as the hallucination in front of me disappeared, I was grabbed from behind.

“Gotcha♡”

“Ugh, let go of this… !”

“It looks like you still have the strength to go on a rampage. For such a bad kid──eight♡”

“Huh!?♡”

Tsk tsk. With a squishy sound, the succubus’ fingers dug between her legs. The pussy, which did not even have a hymen, let alone the protection of chastity, could not resist it at all.

This is not the time. Even now, I don’t know what’s going on outside the barrier. When the slender fingers press firmly on the inside, rather than removing the succubus’ arm, it holds on to it tightly as if it were pitiful.

“Wow, the last time I put it in, it was so cramped that it was hard to put even a finger in it. I’m taking it well now. tentacle… , doesn’t seem to be the case. You’ve found a man? It’s also a pretty good item.”

“Shut up, uh… ♡”

“Don’t do that, just relax and feel good. I really liked you. If I were to get out of here anyway, would the only option be to die? You really don’t think you can beat that, do you?”

Of course, that is impossible. Even if I got out of here right now, it would be impossible to catch that dragon. Still, it would be possible to stall the time so others could escape.

If a sweet voice whispers pleasure in your ear, you may want to give in to it, but that is something you absolutely must not do. Trying to ignore the succubus’ words as much as possible, I gradually gathered mana into the hand holding the sword.

“You don’t think that the adventurers who left the village will help you if you take the time, right? Hehehe. If so, are you sorry?”

“What… ?”

But I couldn’t pretend I didn’t hear what was just said. Adventurers who left the village. That was information that the succubus couldn’t possibly know and shouldn’t know.

“Adventurers… .”

“There is no use in acting like a fool. You sent strong adventurers to the dungeon, right? It’s quite nice to notice the wreckage, but it’s a shame. Even if it had been 3 months earlier, it might have been a little risky.”

It seemed like the succubus was saying all sorts of important things, but only one sentence caught my ear. Strong adventurers sent to the dungeon. … It’s Schneizer. clearly.

It was only then that I realized why Schneizer didn’t take me for the request. Because in that dungeon full of tentacles, I would be nothing but a burden. I probably thought that talking about it would only bring back bad memories.

“What did you do to those people?”

“Huh? I didn’t do anything in particular. The lichs’ experiment is over. The wreckage also evolved. There’s no need to gather strength… , did you just kill him?”

There were people who did not die in the dungeon and lived as food for the tentacles. So, I thought that maybe, for once, he might still be alive. The succubus mercilessly cut off even the slightest hope I had.

… I see You’re dead, you idiot.

Something doesn’t seem right to me. Is it because I only heard about it from others, or is it because I just don’t want to think about it? The empty fact that he is dead is the only thing spinning around in my head.

“Wow, I suddenly feel down. Did you know anyone? Could it be that he is the one who took your virginity?”

“… Noisy.”

“That curse could be lifted, but it wasn’t lifted, right? That man. Hehehe. Maybe it’s not what I’m saying, but I think I have bad taste in men.”

“Shut up!!”

I don’t particularly have any favors towards that guy, and if I think about it calmly, the succubus might actually be right. Still, when I heard people talking bad about Schneizer, something boiled inside me. On a subject that knows nothing about us now.

The same goes for Schneizer. There was a time when I really thought I wanted to kill myself. If you’re going to die, then die then. He didn’t talk about me or hear a reply. Why did you come now?

Really, he’s such an idiot.

“… … .”

“Oh my gosh, be scared. What are you trying to do with that knife? Huh?”

A mocking succubus voice comes from my ear. It’s worth it. The arm that lifts the sword is trembling, to the point where one wonders if it is possible to catch a rabbit like this.

Still, that level of force is enough to cut open the skin of a delicate girl’s stomach. Phew. The sharp sword digs into my lower abdomen, staining my pure white skin red.

“… Ah, yes. That’s what you choose. Hmm. ”

The succubus’ voice becomes cold, as if it is not interesting. Now that you think about it, I said I liked it. It looks good. Other than that guy, I don’t want any other touch.

But this is just preparation. The real thing starts now.

“Are you trying to protect chastity now? Or is it sarcasm that it would be better to die than be my toy? Things like that, it’s all a joke… ?”

Phew. The sound of a sword digging into flesh rings out once more. Although I couldn’t see it, I could tell by the feel of it in my hand. The sword that pierced the back also pierced the succubus behind it.

Even a slight cut hurts, but wouldn’t it be terrible if a knife pierced your body? Just now, the pain that felt like my nerves were being sharpened like a knife was ravaging my entire body without mercy.

Still, it’s better that way for now. It hurts, it hurts so much that I don’t even have time to worry about pleasure or anything like that. It was natural since the uterus, the center of pleasure, was pierced in the first place.

“Eh, wait, uh… ?”

A perplexed succubus voice is heard from behind. He said he couldn’t understand how I could have this much strength.

I have no intention of giving you time to understand. Kwasik. When I pulled out the sword, I felt like my eyes were turning white in a different way. There is no time to be conscious of mating or anything else due to the excessive pain.

Even so, the strength comes back only for a moment, but that’s enough. Swish. When I looked back, I saw an expression full of pain and doubt,

“Ah… .”

Before it could do anything, the blade mercilessly sent the succubus’ head flying into the air.

Tap, tap, degurrr… .

Shuuk.

I wondered what would happen if the barrier remained even if the succubus died. Fortunately, the empty space collapsed and the surrounding scenery began to return.

However, without having time to check it, I fell to the floor and rolled around. There was a limit to the spirit maintained by intracerebral drugs, unknown resentment, sadness, and stubbornness.

“Queu… , ah, ugh… !”

Click. A stamina potion tumbles out of the pouch that I hastily searched for. I couldn’t even hold it properly, so I barely opened the lid and hit my lower stomach on the potion that spilled on the floor.

As I lay still in that state, I recovered to the point where I could breathe anyway. Anyway, as long as you can move your fingers, you can do anything. I immediately called up the status window and put all the skill points I had into the divine power recovery skill.

For a moment, the place was filled with divine light.

“Huh, sssb… .”

Of course, even that had its limits. You stuck a knife in the stomach and twisted it, then stabbed it further back and forcibly pulled it out. To be honest, I don’t even know how I lived.

But somehow I was able to recover to the point where I could move. I tried to ignore my throbbing lower abdomen and stood up with my sword in hand.

There’s still one more guy left to take revenge on.

Fortunately, the dragon was still rampaging in the sky above the city. There is something to fight for and a meaning to fight for. This episode is almost over, but that was enough of a reason for me to stay alive.

I’m sure I won’t be like this in the next round. You will be able to proceed to the next stage properly without being caught in Schneizer’s evil plan or having the dragon appear.

In other words, what happened in this episode belongs solely to me. The pleasure given to that guy, the strange feeling I got from that guy’s words, and the anger over that guy’s death are all things that only I can feel.

If you think about it that way, it’s a little… . The fear might decrease. huh.

“Lizard, you bastard. Wow. Here and here──!”

“Krrr… .”

The movement of the dragon, which was randomly destroying the city, suddenly stops. The split pupils, characteristic of reptiles, were looking at me clearly, as if to say, “Is that you again?”

That’s all. Feeling as if a burden had been lifted off my mind, I took a stance while holding the sword.

If there is a next time for me, please… .
