『Martyr’s Moon – 15th (Dawn)』

【5th Day of the Imperial Invasion】

“Haa…”

I let out a deep sigh.

This sigh, which I had released several times, contained a multitude of emotions. The sense of unease I felt in the Imperial palace, worry for my Sister, anxiety about the future, and so on, filled only with negative emotions without a single positive one.

How many hours had passed now?

Unlike other prisons in the Empire, this underground prison had no faint light coming through the bars, and the torches flickered as if they were about to go out at any moment.

In this underground prison, where darkness seemed to dominate soon, even the sense of time seemed to fade.

“You seem to have a lot on your mind.”

Next to me, a burly man with shaggy hair, Gunther Owen, spoke to me while bound in Chains.

His voice was still loud and as bright as ever.

It was as if he didn’t even realize that this was an underground prison.

“You’re quite carefree, even though you’re trapped here,” I wanted to organize my thoughts, but I was anxious and worried, so I had no room in my mind. I was even in awe of Gunther, who could maintain a positive attitude in this situation, unlike me.

Gunther shrugged his shoulders and replied to my words.

“It’s natural to think it’s strange. My Species are used to enduring a few weeks in such dark places.”

“You can’t even see, but you know it’s a dark place.”

“Well, it’s a prison, isn’t it? Moreover, it’s damp and quiet. It would be strange if such a place were bright. More than that, what are you thinking so much about?”

I looked at him and then lowered my head deeply.

I was depressed and anxious. I didn’t even have the energy to say anything more.

“What I said earlier. Worry about the country, worry about my comrades, worry about my superiors, and most of all, worry about whether my Sister is safe. Because I’m alone here, cut off from the outside world.”

“A reasonable concern. I understand. Judging by your voice, you’re also exhausted from not sleeping since yesterday. How about closing your eyes for a moment, even if it’s just for a little while?”

“How can I sleep peacefully alone, leaving my Sister, who may be in danger right now…? More than that, you can’t see, but you know I haven’t slept…”

“I told you before, I have other senses besides my eyes. My nose, ears, tongue, and skin. They come together to create a third eye. It’s easy to grasp a person’s condition just by listening to the trembling of their voice. And… the fact that it’s dawn outside the prison is also thanks to these transcendent senses.”

Dawn…? No, how can he know that in this place where no light comes in? This person?

I was dumbfounded by Gunther’s words and looked around, but all I could see was the darkness of the prison.

However, Gunther spoke in an even more confident voice, as if refuting my doubts head-on.

“The sun is rising. I’m sure of it.”

“What on earth are you so sure about…?”

“Hahaha. Are you curious? It may seem great, but it’s nothing much. Would you understand if I said it was my ‘belly clock’? You see, I’m the type who always makes sure to eat on time. It’s easy for me to estimate the time for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with my internal clock.”

“What a stupid…”

No matter how unbelievable or false a statement is, if you say it with conviction, there are times when you suspect it’s real. Just like now.

Quite some time ago, I came down here on the instructions of Captain Arc and Patient Councilor, who seemed to have changed, and since then, I’ve been talking to Gunther to some extent, and I felt that time had passed…

It’s already dawn?

I can’t believe that time has passed like this…

“Aren’t you getting hungry too? It seems like it’s almost time to get hungry.”

“No… what does that matter now…? My appetite has disappeared completely because I’m so anxious. More than that, it seems like you haven’t had a proper meal since you were imprisoned here… are you okay?”

When I asked Gunther how he was doing in a weak voice, he nodded vigorously.

“Of course. I can go without food for about a week. Enduring hunger is also a form of training. Well… more than that, Barkl, no, Barkl, former Imperial prince. Have you thought about my proposal?”

In the midst of the carefree conversation, Gunther’s voice, which had been consistently energetic, dropped significantly.

Yes, while waiting in this prison, I had several conversations with Gunther, and I also told him that I was a former Imperial prince.

And when he heard my words, he naturally told me the real reason why he was captured here.

In order to liberate the Spirit of Smoke, who had been exploited by the Imperial family for a long time, he had deliberately been captured and infiltrated the Imperial palace in order to deal with the remaining Imperial family members.

At first, I was utterly bewildered by those words. Deal with… That sounds like he’s going to kill them, no matter who hears it.

However, Gunther continued the conversation. He said that dealing with them did not mean physically eliminating the remaining bloodline of the Imperial family, but rather using his unique Magic ability to eliminate the Imperial family’s blood and make them equal.

“If I have the ability, we can be equal… we can be in the same position. The Imperial family’s bloodline will also be diluted. There will be no pain or hardship in the process. I want to get along peacefully with the people I meet in this unexpected place as much as possible. What do you think?”

This conversation… for some reason, I felt uneasy.

I kept getting a similar feeling to the conversation I had with Patient Councilor.

“Infiltrate the Empire for the sake of the Spirit of Smoke. Everything is to contact me and my Sister, who are the only ones left, and eliminate that bloodline to help the Spirit of Smoke achieve Nirvana… that’s the real reason. What a tumultuous reason for imprisonment.”

He said that in order to help someone, shedding blood would only create another victim, and he adhered to his intentions by resolving things through dialogue as much as possible.

“It’s hard to believe if you say that so suddenly…”

–Thud…

“Hmm…?”

Just as I was about to respond to Gunther’s words, fine pieces of stone fell from the ceiling onto my head and the floor.

At the same time, a small tremor began to shake the prison…

“Oh… is something about to start?”

Gunther muttered quietly.

–Kwaaaang…!!!

A tremendous roar echoed, and the entire prison began to shake violently.

Is the Calamity I feared really coming?

『Martyr’s Moon – 15th (Dawn)』

【5th Day of the Imperial Invasion】

“Ugh, haht♡♥”

I barely managed to hold on to my confused mind, and soon I realized what I was doing.

From yesterday until this dawn…

I had been groping my Male genitalia like a beast and scattering semen all over the room…

The room was full of white, as if I had spilled white paint, and I was shocked to see my Testicles still heavy even after squirting out this much semen.

Moreover, my body was still half-deranged because the heat had not completely subsided.

I didn’t know how much I had rubbed my Male genitalia, but the tip of my Glans had turned blackish, and its size was significantly larger than before…

It had become too large to simply dismiss it as a trick of the mind.

In addition…

“Ugh, haht♥… this Male genitalia… every time I try to cut it off, it gives me tremendous pleasure instead… what am I supposed to do with this…”

I barely regained my sanity and looked out the window, where the morning sun was slowly rising, panting with the remaining pleasure…

“……Ugh! What, what is this…? This feeling…!?”

I felt an intense murderous intent approaching right in front of the door.

Normally, I would have been able to pinpoint the location even from afar through the flow of Smoke, but because I had withdrawn my Smoke from the Empire to protect my body from the unknown Smoke that was eroding my body, it was impossible now.

Moreover, just by coming into contact with a very small amount of Purple mist, my Male genitalia had grown, and my senses had become dulled due to this shameless body that was plumper than usual.

Nevertheless, my instincts were sensing danger, and I hurriedly grabbed the two swords that were lying on the floor, stained with my own semen.

Leaving behind the sticky and slimy unpleasantness of the semen, I could feel the footsteps of the being exuding murderous intent stopping right in front of the door.

In a moment where even breathing could not be heard, I was caught between panic and tension from the sudden threat, and I was preparing to enter a battle stance at any moment…

–Fzzzt… Bang…!!

My hair stood on end, and the door burst open with a loud noise…

“Keeeueeeut…!!!”

A storm-like impact swept through the room. The only piece of furniture, the bed, was overturned helplessly, and the impact was so great that even the floor seemed to lift.

What was spewing out beyond that was… a bundle of Black lightning…!

Reflexively dodging, I barely avoided the Black lightning that was falling on me…

[Chase]

In the Smoke that was generated as the door was broken, a pair of glittering green eyes commanded, and the Lightning, which had lost its target, flew back towards me as if it had its own consciousness.

“I have no choice but to block this…!”

As numerous bundles of Lightning, reminiscent of Tentacles, rushed in, I tried to prepare for the upcoming impact by wrapping my body in Smoke using my specialty, Smoke magic…

–Bang… Kwaaaang…! Fzzzt, fzzzt…!

The Smoke, which was originally a part of my body, could not harmonize with my body, which was wearing a human body, and could not form properly.

At this rate…!

“Kyaaaaah…!! O, ooh…♡♥”

The Smoke armor, which I had managed to create even slightly, blocked some of the Black lightning, but the Lightning that I could not block instantly ravaged my body, and they dug into every part of my body with pain… no, rather, with extreme pleasure.

–Buryuuuht…♡♥

It was only natural that I Ejaculation and scattered vaginal fluid.

If I had taken all of that Lightning with my whole body… I couldn’t be sure, but I would have definitely become a madman spewing semen and vaginal fluid in this place.

In addition, the impact of the Lightning was not completely blocked by the poorly made Smoke armor, so I was blown to the other side of the room and slammed into the wall…

–Thud…!

I didn’t let go of my swords even as I crashed into the wall and was thrown to the ground.

Barely regaining my senses from the afterglow of Ejaculation, I barely opened my mouth towards the intruder.

“Who… are you…!”

Still feeling the murderous intent and momentum spewing out towards me, I quickly got up without having time to worry about my disheveled body.

And from the Smoke, the being walked out, making the sound of clacking heels.

[What a pathetic sight. Spirit of Smoke]

A woman with a bewitching impression, with rich and soft golden hair tied in pigtails. She had intense green eyes that seemed to contain an abyss.

Her skin had a healthy tan that seemed to hold light even under the sun, and her supple skin was smooth and connected, with a subtle sheen that gave the impression of being covered in a layer of radiance.

In particular, even in the darkness, her tan skin glowed faintly along the flow of Magical power, contrasting with the pink Insignia engraved on various parts of her body, creating an even more mysterious and fatal atmosphere.

“This power… how on earth did you get this much power…!”

The faint light leaking from the window showed her body in more detail.

Her body, which achieved a perfect harmony with the elasticity of firm and smooth muscles within its softness, and her voluptuous breasts, were the pinnacle of physical beauty, boasting sensual curves.

So much so that there was no place to put my eyes.

Above all… beyond her slender waist and wide, round hips, the grotesque and admirable giant Male genitalia located in the center of her crotch.

With each step she took, the Male genitalia, which swayed indifferently, had a slight sparkle of sweat dripping from the tip of her Glans, and it seemed to exude a fatal charm just by looking at it.

[My name is Lightly Elaine. A loyal Slave of the Goddess, and her daughter. And… the Savior who will stain this Empire with humiliation and pleasure♥]

“Elaine…?”

Her appearance, with a cloth that seemed to scream as if it would tear at any moment on her chest and wearing only minimal armor, was more suitable to be called a prostitute or a dancer than a warrior on the battlefield.

In her two hands, she held swords that shone with golden light, and behind her back, four arms made of bizarre and unpleasant Magical power were also clutching two golden blades.

A total of four swords. Perhaps the numerous Lightning streaks that had struck my body just now came from those swords.

A chilling tremor ran down my spine…

I was approaching a touch-and-go situation where I was about to cross swords with the being called Elaine.

Many questions arose as to why the others in the Empire were not coming to deal with this situation, but… there was no time to even think about that.

Right now, if I take my eyes off the being in front of me, I will be cut down in an instant.

That person is definitely strong. So much so that I, who have fought in battles for a long time, can guarantee it. I wanted to change my body into Smoke and avoid this situation, but…

“The Smoke isn’t circulating properly…”

The Smoke, as if it had escaped my control, was not gathering properly and was only scattering.

And… even though it was only a few seconds ago that I said I shouldn’t take my eyes off her, my eyes were not focused on watching the opponent’s movements, but on Elaine’s bursting breasts and her erect Male genitalia…!

“Keeeut♡♥ Focus, I have to focus…!”

Please… listen to me! It’s my body!
