Chapter 128: Special Grade Rohan

Rohan and Ichinose quietly emerged from the bushes and stepped onto the mansion grounds.

Maintaining a low stance, ready to react quickly to any attack, they closed the distance with the group of Pleasure Dolls lined up beside a huge bathtub.

“…”

The lifeless eyes of the Pleasure Dolls moved. They were clearly aware of the intruders.

However, they didn’t attack. They didn’t even make a sound.

“They’re not rushing at us like the Husks. Are they waiting for orders?”

“Maybe they’re meant to serve during baths… Anyway, let’s take them out quickly.”

It felt like an opportunity.

Rohan decided to Unbind the Pleasure Dolls in sight before the Succubus noticed and appeared.

Rohan and Ichinose took their positions.

They swung their swords, cleanly severing the heads of the Pleasure Dolls.

Swish!

··

··

The headless Pleasure Dolls collapsed like puppets with their strings cut.

Sensing the commotion, the Succubus emerged from the mansion a moment too late.

The mansion door creaked open, releasing a strong scent.

It was a thick, heavy smell, reminiscent of the cosmetics section on the first floor of a department store.

As the spreading fragrance produced a strange sensation that seemed to interfere with their minds, both of them circulated their Mana more forcefully.

“Humans…?”

The Succubus uttered a disbelieving voice from between her bright red lips.

Then, she composed her expression and showed a relaxed smile.

“Interesting guests have arrived. I wonder where you came from?”

Her sharp, jet-black nails gleamed.

Rohan focused on a particular part of the Succubus’s body that stood out, allowing him to roughly imagine what kind of weapon she used and how.

Thud thud thud thud thud—

Pleasure Dolls poured out from the open doorway.

The thin, male figures wore the same attire as those by the bathtub, but they were armed.

“Are you all mute? Answer me.”

The Succubus assessed the situation. The humans were observing her intently.

The woman had her eyes closed, but her sharp senses were clearly directed at her.

And the man…

The Succubus’ eyes widened as she looked at Rohan, not bothering to hide her surprise.

She raised a hand, halting the approaching Pleasure Dolls three steps away.

“You… You’re not an ordinary man, are you? I’ve never seen such a premium specimen.”

The Succubus’ eyes glittered with desire as she looked at Rohan.

Something felt unusual.

“Premium specimen?”

Rohan frowned at being treated like an object.

…Rohan is a premium specimen?

Not only Rohan, but Ichinose also focused on that phrase.

The Succubi they had encountered so far had been unable to communicate.

They had thought the Succubi drooling and convulsing at the sight of Rohan was simply due to him being male, but

it seemed there was another reason.

“You can talk?”

The Succubus wore a satisfied expression, as if simply looking at him was enough.

Rohan pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang!

The Succubus dodged the bullet with a slight tilt of her head, then laughed, waving her jet-black tail as if amused.

She didn’t even glance at the Pleasure Doll behind her whose head had been blown off.

“I prefer obedient ones, but sometimes a rebellious man isn’t bad either.”

Since Rohan had initiated the attack, the battle would have begun the moment the Succubus reached out, however,

The Succubus wanted to talk. Or rather, she ultimately wanted Rohan.

If they could gather as much information as possible, it wouldn’t be a bad situation for Rohan and his party.

Reading his intent, the Succubus attempted to negotiate.

“I’ll forgive you for breaking my precious dolls. In return, why don’t you live with me and have some fun? Forget all the troublesome things and experience only the greatest pleasures.”

“Like hell I would.”

As Rohan was about to curse with a grim face, the Succubus exclaimed, “Oh my, oh my!” and, urging him to listen to the end, continued, swaying her hips and tail,

“I’m not saying I’ll turn you into a Pleasure Doll. I just want you to live with me. What do you say?”

“I don’t like easy women.”

“Hee hee, I like jealous men too. Is it because of the Pleasure Dolls? I’ll get rid of them all if you say so.”

Ignoring the harsh insults, the Succubus rubbed her thighs together and stared at Rohan.

The heated gaze and excited breaths seemed too genuine to be an act.

Where had the dignity of a Named Succubus gone? She couldn’t control her drool, her throat bobbing as she swallowed.

Ichinose gritted her teeth in frustration.

Still, she somehow managed to hold back. An emotional response wouldn’t do any good.

“Kill them all now.”

“That kind of trickery won’t work on me~ We need a contract first, right?”

A black parchment appeared before Rohan.

Ichinose was startled and tried to tell him not to agree even if it was a ploy, but Rohan had no intention of doing so from the beginning.

After confirming the Succubus’s name written at the end of the parchment—three letters, Bianca—

He raised his Sword and sliced the floating parchment in half.

The torn parchment fell to the floor, and Bianca wiped the smile from her face.

A chilling rage spread through the air.

“…As expected of a premium specimen, you’re a difficult man. It can’t be helped.”

The Succubus snapped her fingers.

Expressionless Pleasure Dolls rushed in.

─ …

─ …

Unlike the Husks, these things didn’t make meaningless noises. Their feet weren’t slow either.

Maintaining silence, they brandished the blades in their hands.

Possessing Mana received from the Succubus, their physical abilities easily surpassed those of ordinary people.

Furthermore, the irritating point was that the basis of their attack was Mutual Destruction.

Pleasure Dolls, moving without ego under commands, had a default attack setting of throwing themselves at their target.

They felt no pain and didn’t stop until they received damage beyond a certain threshold, making them more troublesome the greater their numbers.

Clang! Klang! Thud!

Despite that, the Pleasure Dolls fell one by one.

Bianca inwardly admired the duo’s teamwork and skill as she watched.

They fight much better than I thought?

Women weren’t Bianca’s preference. She didn’t want to keep them in her collection.

However, if she made that blind woman into a Pleasure Doll and used her as a guard, it would more than make up for this loss.

The value of the man went without saying.

“I suppose I should show you one of my specialties.”

Bianca, having made her decision, moved her Mana.

Fwooosh───!!!

A dense energy erupted from her body. The mansion was dyed in pink mist.

Knowing this Succubus Bianca’s Skill, Rohan kicked a rushing Pleasure Doll away with his foot and informed Ichinose.

“Ichinose. It’s Charm. Keep your mind straight.”

“Understood…!”

“It seems like her specialty is a wide range for the Charm. But the concentration won’t be that intense.”

Rohan warned Ichinose with prior information.

He gripped his Sword tightly in one hand.

Rohan’s Swordsmanship cleanly bisected the waists of multiple Pleasure Dolls, sending them flying.

It was surprising strength for a single hand.

“Ha.”

Ichinose, who had drawn Yoru, instantly returned it to its sheath and continued with her Swordsmanship.

The Pleasure Dolls were cleanly severed and collapsed in a heap.

And through the thick pink fog.

Jet-black fingernails pierced the cloud-like space and flew towards Rohan.

Clang!

Rohan blocked the fingernails aimed at his thigh with Radiance.

The elongated fingernails retracted, returning to Bianca’s hand.

“Oh my, you blocked that? I like you even more.”

Ichinose launched a Slash towards the place the fingernails had returned, but Bianca had already moved her position.

There was no time to feel regret. She dealt with the few remaining Pleasure Dolls.

And Ichinose was feeling it.

How terrible Charm was.

This is a weak Charm…?

As a woman, the same gender as the Succubus, Ichinose had a resistance to the Charm Skill, so she could only feel it faintly.

Even so, her mind felt dizzy.

Instinct and reason clashed and mixed chaotically.

She couldn’t even imagine how Rohan, a man, must be feeling the Charm.

It was admirable that he could move like that in such an environment.

But such a battle was short-lived.

How many times had he blocked the fingernails aiming for openings while the number of Pleasure Dolls dwindled?

Around the time she felt the premonition that it was becoming a prolonged battle.

“…”

Thud.

Rohan dropped the Handgun from one hand and slumped.

His head was looking down.

His Sword hung loosely, his back bent. He looked like he could collapse at any moment.

From the looks of it, anyone could see he was a man overcome by Charm. He seemed about to drop his Sword as well.

“Rohan!!!”

A panicked Ichinose cried out in a torn voice.

I have to wake him up quickly…!

The moment she made that decision, the Pleasure Dolls, under Bianca’s command, protectively blocked Ichinose defensively.

The Succubus revealed herself, piercing the pink fog.

“Hee hee, you’re the first man to withstand my Charm for so long. I’ll cherish you as my servant forever. You will lead me to the queen’s throne.”

Bianca held a choker that resembled a dog collar.

As the Succubus stepped closer to put the choker on Rohan’s Neck.

Rohan, who had been slumped over looking down,

Seized the awaited opportunity and instantaneously exploded his Mana.

The Sword that Juyeon had advised him on due to its problematic stance.

The Sword that Juyeon had praised for its excellence other than that.

The thrust, which fulfilled the tricky conditions in actual combat, pierced Bianca’s heart.

“Gah…!?”

“I said I don’t like sluts.”

Following that, as Rohan used the rotational force imbued in the blade to burst her heart.

A never-before-seen Achievement popped up.
