49. René

Mana concentrates into the Mana Heart.

It’s different from the previous formal mana cultivation method. It’s a new method that extracts only the advantages of the Reinhardt and Orhein lineages.

I haven’t thought of a suitable name yet, so I simply named the new cultivation method “Fusion Style.”

‘Lucia was a big help.’

Lucia’s Mana Heart. The shortest path of the Mana Road where mana is concentrated. I was able to grasp each and every one of those meridians through physical contact.

And the Orhein lineage is optimized for mana to traverse that shortest path.

‘When mana flows through that path… the speed at which external mana is absorbed is on a different level.’

Every time I operate the Fusion Style, mana gathers so quickly that a resonance sound comes from my chest.

Of course, if such a torrent brushes against the mana road in my head, my brain, it can cause side effects large enough to affect my mind.

‘But I replaced that path with the Reinhardt lineage, so there were no problems.’

A highly efficient mana cultivation method that eliminates all side effects. Through the Fusion Style, my Mana Heart finally reached the 4th Circle.

The Reinhardt family’s Mana Heart being at the 4th Circle has a special meaning.

The Mana Heart of an ordinary mana user. That place is usually in the form of a ring, not a three-dimensional shape. But my Mana Heart is a polyhedral three-dimensional structure that goes beyond a ring.

In other words, it’s a Mana Heart that forms a special circular shell.

The mana that the Mana Heart refines is worlds apart, even compared to mana users of the same 4th Circle level.

‘This means I’ve taken a step towards becoming an Aura user, beyond just using Mana Blades.’

That wasn’t all. The sexual acts with Cecilia. That wasn’t just a release of sexual desire.

Just as Cecilia took the Demon King’s essence contained in my bodily fluids, I also received the demonic energy contained in her bodily fluids directly into my body.

A deep kiss and cunnilingus. And even ejaculation inside her.

‘Cecilia must have been very excited… she produced a lot of juice.’

The process was a bit embarrassing, but the effect was certain. The dragon’s demonic energy absorbed into my body. That demonic energy was thoroughly mixed with my original mana and reached my Mana Heart.

That demonic energy completely changed the nature of my Mana Heart.

‘Is this even possible?’

The mana drawn in from the outside is rotating in the Mana Heart without knowing the acceleration limit.

Orhein lineage. Clearly, the secret book states that the limit acceleration of refinement is possible only when reaching the 5th Circle.

But my Mana Heart, which has transformed into a Dragon Heart, withstood the overload caused by that rapid acceleration without any difficulty. So the amount of mana accumulated increased surprisingly.

——-

[Your stats have increased.]

MP : 100 -> 130MP

——-

A whopping 30MP increase. Considering that using the Secret Art White Night costs 50MP. If I leave a little time in between, I can use it up to 3 times.

‘With this amount of total mana… I can compare myself to Rosette and Chloe.’

Since it was a dragon, called the master of mana, the durability of the Mana Heart was also on a different level.

Now that I’ve completed the Dragon Heart transformation. This means I can maximize the potential limit of the Reinhardt bloodline without any risk.

“Huu…”

I stopped the Fusion Style. At this rate, I feel like I’ll reach the 5th Circle soon and be able to use Aura.

Aura. A special energy that produces the highest cutting power that a mana user can create.

A knight who can use that Aura Blade can even hunt Type 2 magical beasts alone.

‘Knights at the 6th Circle were feared even by dragons.’

Knights of the 6th Circle. That is, Aura Experts. When several of them gathered and cooperated, they could even penetrate the dragon’s strong outer armor.

Since they had such power that surpassed the limits of humans. That’s why humans were able to hold their ground in the Great War with the Demon race.

But this Aura is not a panacea either.

To compare it to modern weapons, even if there is a missile with a large amount of explosives in the warhead. If it cannot hit the target, it loses its value as a strategic weapon.

The same goes for swordsmen. In order to fully transmit the firepower of Aura, there must be swordsmanship that matches it.

And through that swordsmanship, the cutting power and durability of Aura also develop.

‘It’s a mutually complementary relationship.’

Now, what I need to do is to have swordsmanship that matches the level of my developed Mana Heart.

And if I start using Aura, I won’t be able to fully utilize its efficiency with a regular Imperial sword. So, a new weapon will also be needed.

“There’s a lot to do.”

The wall I have to overcome for that swordsmanship development. Royah’s trial.

The scheduled time to enter the trial is next week. I decided to hurry up and finish what I need to do before next week comes.

“I can’t even sleep comfortably.”

I fell asleep with the Succubus trait activated.

***

The Succubus trait has evolved to B+ grade since the last power evaluation.

It was thanks to properly absorbing the proficiency from Rosette’s dream. For a while, I used the developed trait to disguise my face through the nature of dreams.

‘Today is the time to properly move as a Succubus.’

The target is Rene, the last seat of the Assassination Squad. I thoroughly beat up that witch during the last patrol mission.

The violence that Rene, who has a strong S tendency, suffered from me in reverse. Thanks to that violence, I was able to properly place a suggestion of the Succubus trait.

So, I am now in Rene’s dream.

Unlike before, the place where the other person is sleeping doesn’t have to be close to where I’m sleeping. Teneb, the intermediate dark spirit I planted.

Through the connection with Teneb, I can infiltrate her dream as a Succubus at any time.

The Assassination Squad, which is properly hiding its identity in the Imperial Capital. There was no better way to grasp the movements of that villain group.

‘Of course, it’s not a panacea.’

After all, it was because Rene used black magic and felt a great sense of powerlessness against me that the suggestion worked well.

Still, the Assassination Squad is the main villain in Part 2 of Demon King Slayer. Moreover, they are very difficult enemies to deal with as Duke Pedro’s henchmen.

‘I can’t just slack off like I did when I played Demon King Slayer.’

So, I was thinking of figuring out their weaknesses or what they will do in the future in advance. Especially the reason why Duke Pedro and his subordinates showed power beyond humans. Demon Fusion.

The cause of the transformation into a disaster similar to a magical beast. If I can find out that connection. I might be able to find a way to deal with it.

I entrusted myself to Teneb, who returned to me in Rene’s dream. I, who had turned into a crow, quickly found Rene.

‘Her dream is so messy.’

As befitting a witch’s dream, dream scenes that seem to have been heavily drugged continued. The dream is as complicated as Rosette, who is also a witch.

But Rene is a black magician, so somehow the texture felt more unpleasant.

“You son of a bitch!! Damn Izelteer! Showing off!”

The dream location seems to be Rene’s room. Her accommodation somewhere in the Imperial Capital. It was as messy as a witch’s room is commonly thought to be.

All sorts of magic experiment materials were scattered haphazardly, and unpleasant monsters and magical beast corpses were decorated throughout the room.

Rene was calling someone’s name and mercilessly whipping a scarecrow.

“Izelteer! Just because you’re a senior member of the mercenary group, does that make you everything!! You only give me annoying chores from the Assassination Squad. What? You’re going to go play as a player in the Colosseum. And you’re telling me to do all the work the captain ordered? You son of a bitch!! I’ll cut off your dick someday!!”

It seemed like a kind of curse ritual. A curse doll that seemed to be about 1m tall. The crotch of the curse doll was bulging out like a dick.

“I’ll put all the humiliating curses on you as a man. Huh?”

The name Izelteer was written on the curse doll in Imperial language. I know who he is.

He is a high-ranking member of the Assassination Squad. Especially a swordsman close to the action leader.

‘He caused a big incident by breaking into the Pantheon in Part 2.’

Not only his power, but also his motives are dangerous. Any member of the Assassination Squad is faithful to their desires like Rene.

But Izelteer is a battle maniac who is crazy about life-threatening battles. He’s not a psychopathic killer.

But I’ve had game overs more than once while fighting him, who pursues tyrannical swordsmanship.

‘That means he’s so strong even though he’s a mid-boss.’

Judging from Rene’s reaction, Izelteer seemed to be making her do all the chores and leisurely wandering around the Imperial Capital himself.

‘I got good information. The Colosseum.’

If he has any sense, he would have disguised himself and participated like me. But if I face a swordsman with such excellent skills, it will be a great help.

‘I must participate in the tournament.’

I also wanted to know how well my current swordsmanship works. I came into Rene’s dream and got useful information.

“I want to fuck cute and handsome men too!! I don’t even have time to relieve my sexual desire because of the damn chores!! Die!! Izelteer!! You trash son!! You dirty son born from a whore’s womb!!”

While shouting that, Rene was wildly humiliating the scarecrow. It seemed like a kind of curse ritual.

‘In reality, her head would fly off if she did that. So, is she vicariously satisfying herself in her dream?’

She vented her anger on the doll for a long time. Then Rene took a new scarecrow and went down to her basement.

“Next is you… Hehe!”

If she looked angry a little while ago. Now, her eyes were sparkling with a lustful expression.

***

‘Hoo. Look at that.’

Rene’s basement had a gruesome scenery. It was like a torture chamber in a medieval castle. Rene nailed the scarecrow to the wall there.

“Baron-isiyeo!”

And after putting a Demon Fusion Stone inside the scarecrow, she called the name of the demon baron.

Surprisingly, the scarecrow turned into my appearance.

‘It’s very elaborate for a dream.’

“Yulian von Reinhardt. The grandson of that great Margrave… and the son of Agnes, right?”

And Rene seemed to have already figured out my identity. I took the Soul Dagger she cherished like her life.

She seemed to have desperately searched for me.

“And the Pantheon… you said you’re a student there. A mere student of the academy. How dare you humiliate me…”

The scarecrow that turned into me. The scarecrow was naked and hung on the wall with its arms and legs tied. She would never have seen my naked body, so the details of the muscles and penis size were different.

But it was no problem for satisfying Rene’s base desires. She took a whip and whipped the scarecrow wildly.

“You son of a bitch!! A man!! A dirty man!! You touched my body?”

It seems that being beaten by me was quite humiliating. Rene made the whole body of the scarecrow that resembled my body full of wounds.

“Hoo… What should I do if this handsome face gets hurt? How can it be like this with blood flowing…”

While saying that, she stuck her body close to the scarecrow. She stuck out her bright red tongue and licked the blood flowing on the doll’s cheek.

“Yeah… so it’s a little cute. You have a pretty face…”

While saying that, she lowered her hand to the doll’s lower body.

“Haa… are you a pervert too…? You got an erection while being beaten by me like this?”

Before I knew it, the doll’s penis was erect. Compared to my real tyrant, it’s less than half the size. Dreams reflect the desires of the dreamer.

It seemed that she, who is an S, hates men with huge dicks.

“It’s a cute dick… Should I play with you a lot?”

While saying that, she stroked the penis with her hand. Then, as if she was excited, she started taking off her clothes herself.

“Haa… it’s hot here in the basement… I feel like I’m going to sweat because I whipped properly for the first time in a while.”

Orange bobbed hair. But her underwear was dark black. It wasn’t ordinary underwear.

The bra showed the nipples inside as they were. And the panties were T-pants that showed the buttocks as they were.

Rene lifted her leg and put her penis between the back of her knee.

“Hehe… Do you like it? You’re making a puppy-like expression… I like it… I’ll let you go…”

Rene started rubbing the thing, which was smaller than my penis before it was erect, with her thighs and calf flesh. An active femdom play.

‘This is disgusting.’

In the dream. And it’s not like I’m being directly subjected to it. But it felt bad just to have a scarecrow that looked like me being subjected to it.

I released the possession from the crow and stood behind Rene. And with the Dragon Heart, I pulled up the demonic energy as much as possible instead of the usual refined mana.

Then the control over this dream increased.

Rene, who was only borrowing the demonic energy of a dream and at most a demon baron, was completely unaware of that fact and was engrossed in doll rape.

“Haa… then where… should I taste this cute dick once?”

And just as Rene was about to put the doll’s penis in her mouth. I switched the scarecrow and my body as they were.
