Chapter 25

〈 Episode 25 〉Escape

“Ugh♥ Hngh♥”

“Ahhk♥ S-Stop… Hiiiit♥”

“Haaang♥ Euhik♥ Good, gooood♥”

Sejin’s warning and Asha’s feelings for Lucia couldn’t stop Asha from being tainted by the Tentacle. Asha, who had been resisting the Tentacle with all her might, was now being violated by the Tentacle with a face no different from Eva’s next to her, spewing out breast milk and Love Nectar.

“Hwit♥ Tentacle, full… Huaaang♥”

Unlike when it violated Asha last time, the Tentacle only repeated the act of violating Asha and making her give birth to its offspring, but that alone was enough to make her lose her reason.

When Asha gave birth to Lucia in the past, her common sense had been twisted by the Tentacle’s brainwashing, but she had maintained her reason. However, Asha, who was now exposed to pleasure that was like torture for days without rest, was incapable of any thought other than being penetrated by the Tentacle.

“Uheuk♥ An Egg from my butt, aahng♥”

Asha, who had begun to lay Eggs through a Tentacle that parasitized her anus like Eva when they first met, became a complete production factory, laying Eggs through her anus even when her uterus was empty.

“Ah… aheu…”

“Eu, eueh…”

Asha and Eva were giving birth to Tentacles again today. For days, they had been repeating pregnancy and childbirth like a hamster on a wheel, giving birth to hundreds of Tentacles during that time. Even Asha, who had been somewhat conscious at first, eventually lost her reason after repeating childbirth more than 10 times a day on the fourth day, and was now closer to a part that produced Tentacles.

Asha and Eva had even forgotten how to move their bodies, and showed no movement other than being injected with Semen by the Tentacle, becoming pregnant, and giving birth to offspring. Eva no longer felt pleasure and was simply giving birth to Tentacles with empty eyes.

“Eu… eueee…”

Chureuk-

A small Tentacle slipped out of Asha’s mouth, which had been blankly staring after giving birth to the Tentacles, wriggled, and then went back into her mouth. Some of the countless Tentacles they had given birth to burrowed into Asha and Eva’s digestive organs as soon as they were born, and even the two women’s bodies had already become Tentacle Nests.

It was all for naught that Asha had struggled to pull the Tentacle out of Eva on the first day, as Eva had become an even greater host than before, harboring Tentacles in every part of her internal organs.

The internal organs were not damaged by the parasitic Tentacles, but Tentacles had already taken root throughout their bodies and were living with them as if they were one. Now, Asha and Eva no longer had any rest time even after giving birth. As soon as they gave birth to a Tentacle, Semen was poured into their uteruses, their bellies swelled, and they became pregnant immediately.

Today was supposed to be another day that would flow by the same as yesterday, but this time a change occurred. The Tentacle Wall that had been binding Asha and Eva suddenly loosened and collapsed. The two women collapsed powerlessly to the floor, and as their bellies were pressed, they squirted Semen from their vaginas.

“Mama!”

What appeared through the Tentacle Nest was Asha’s daughter, Lucia. Centered around her, the Tentacle Nest was wavering, repeatedly clumping together, unraveling, and twisting again. Lucia, who found Asha, ran to her with all her might.

“Mama! …Mama?”

Even at Lucia’s call, Asha was staring blankly at the air. Lucia’s eyes welled up with tears at Asha’s unusual state, but she shook her head and transformed her arms into tree trunks, gently binding Asha’s body.

“Uueuh…”

After hesitating for a moment, Lucia also took Eva with her, and with the two women, who were bigger than her, hanging from her, she broke through the Tentacle Nest and escaped.

Lucia, who came out of the Nest and into the Labyrinth, continued to run towards the outside of the Labyrinth. There were also Tentacles and Leeches on the way Lucia was going, but they did not interfere with her running and moved aside to the walls to open the way.

Lucia ran, busily moving her short legs, but even that speed was twice as fast as that of an adult man. Lucia had completely memorized the Labyrinth’s geography while living here, so she was able to escape from the Labyrinth in less than an hour.

Lucia knew about the Tentacle’s obsession with Asha and Eva, so she was worried about her father chasing after them, but there were no Tentacles interfering while they were escaping. Lucia, who had run to the forest outside the Labyrinth, was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

“Haa, hieu… Uut!”

Lucia put Asha and Eva down. Although they had escaped from the Labyrinth, they had not regained consciousness. Lucia’s eyes filled with tears as she looked at Asha, whose pupils were dilated and who did not even recognize herself in front of her.

“Mama… Huing… Uueu, Uaaaang!

Lucia hugged Asha and wept bitterly. Her child’s tears dripped down and flowed down her mother’s body. Lucia, who had been crying in Asha’s arms for a long time, suddenly felt a touch on her head.

“Eueht?”

“…Lu…cia…”

When Lucia raised her head, what she saw was Asha’s eyes, which had become faintly clearer.

“Mama!”

Lucia cried and hugged Asha tightly again, and Asha, who still couldn’t put strength into her arms and legs, could only tremble and place her hand on her child’s neck.

Asha, who regained consciousness at the sound of her daughter’s crying, was unable to move for a while due to the aftereffects of living in the Nest. This was because her muscles were twisted in various ways after being confined in one position for a long time and repeating pregnancy and childbirth. Fortunately, she had received enough nutrients from the Tentacle, so Asha was able to move slowly with her daughter’s support.

Asha looked at the woman hanging from Lucia’s left arm. She was still out of her mind and limp, hanging from Lucia’s vine. She was a stranger, but Asha was worried about her because she had experienced the same pain. Asha, whose complexion had darkened for a moment with worry, walked towards the Orc village with Lucia.

“Aheuk…”

Asha, who was moving towards the village, had to stop walking in less than an hour because her legs were numb.

“Mama, does it hurt?”

“It’s okay, euk!”

When Lucia looked at her with worried eyes, Asha tried to smile, but she frowned at the pain that ran through her entire leg. Asha couldn’t move because she had a cramp in her leg due to sudden exercise after being buried in the Tentacle Wall for several days.

“Lucy will carry you!”

“Lucy, you don’t have to…”

Lucia stretched out the vine that was holding Eva and wrapped it around Asha’s body. Asha felt pathetic for being a burden instead of helping her daughter, but she thought it was useless to delay the time, so she used her knowledge to act as Lucia’s navigator. Thanks to Lucia’s quick steps, they were able to arrive in front of the Orc village before sunset.

The Orc village they arrived at was larger than Asha had expected. At least hundreds of Orcs were living inside, and in some places, fires were already lit, brightly illuminating the surroundings. As Lucia approached the village, two armed Orcs approached them with their weapons raised.

“Monster, what’s the matter with carrying two humans!”

“Put me down, Lucy.”

“Okay!”

Lucia skillfully put Asha down and quickly made clothes for her naked body. Asha, who was wearing a white dress, stroked Lucia’s head.

“I came to find someone. Is there someone named Georg here?”

“There is. Did Georg tell you to come here?”

“Yes. And my daughter too.”

“I’ll call him. But who is she?”

“I don’t know either… I think her name was Eva.”

“What, Eva? Hmm… you must be mistaken.”

His complexion changed at the name Eva, but he shook his head and went into the village to call Georg. Soon, the guard approached Asha with Georg. Asha was not yet familiar enough with the Orcs to distinguish their faces, but Georg, who was a head taller, was clearly distinguishable from the other Orcs.

“You really came.”

“Yes. Do you have the pendant?”

Georg took out a small box from his leather pouch and gave it to her. When Asha received the box and opened it, the Captain’s pendants were neatly arranged inside.

“Thank you. You kept it well.”

“It’s only natural to keep things safe if they’re not yours.”

“Well… usually, many people use things carelessly if they’re not theirs. Anyway, thank you.”

“There’s someone here you need to talk to. Follow me.”

Georg led Asha into the village, and Asha followed Georg with Lucia’s support. Asha had imagined the Orcs’ village to be like huts or Mongolian yurt-like gers, but when she entered the fence, she was greeted by various brick houses.

‘Quite…’

Asha was quite surprised, although she didn’t show it, at the much more plausible appearance than the villages of ordinary humans she had seen so far.

Soon, Asha arrived at a huge three-story house with long iron pillars embedded all around it.

“It’s big… Is the chieftain living there?”

“No, the chieftain doesn’t like big houses very much. The reason this house is big is because there’s a laboratory. The person you’re going to meet is the Sorcerer Walter.”

“I see…”

When Georg opened the door and entered, a bell rang in the empty air. Soon, a gruff voice was heard from inside the house.

“Who’s here!”

“Walter, where are you?”

“Second floor!”

When Asha and Georg went upstairs, an old Orc with a thick white beard greeted them. The Sorcerer Walter had wrinkles on his face, but his body was still strong.

“You brought a guest, Georg. Are these the people you were talking about?”

“Yes, one more person came…”

“It doesn’t matter since the house isn’t small. There, hmm… what race is that? Not human or elf, but unique.”

“I don’t know either… Can you take a look at this person? She’s been like this for days.”

Walter approached Eva and began to examine her.

“I don’t know why I feel the energy of my Shamanic Tool from this woman.”

“What do you mean, old man?”

“I gave Eva a Shamanic Tool before she disappeared. I don’t know if she received it or used it, but I can feel the energy of the Shamanic Tool I put in it.”

“Come to think of it, that person seemed to say her name was Eva.”

“What? Hmm…”

Hearing Eva’s words, he began to worry with a serious look. Asha asked Georg.

“Hey, do you know someone named Eva?”

“How could I not know her? Eva is the strongest warrior in our tribe and one of the strongest among all Orcs. Haven’t I told you before?”

At Georg’s words, Asha remembered that he had mentioned someone who had gone missing.

“Ah, right. That, that person is also an Orc, right?”

“Does it make sense if I say she’s over 10 feet tall?”

“Ugh… what you said last time wasn’t an exaggeration.”

Asha, who was calculating the units, shook her head, imagining a huge 3-meter Orc. She held Lucia in her arms as she yawned next to her.

“That person and I were captured by the Tentacle in the Labyrinth, you know?”

“One of our tribesmen died there too. It wasn’t because of the Tentacle, but it’s a dangerous place.”

“But that Tentacle changes people’s bodies, you know? That’s why my breasts got bigger there.”

Asha’s breasts were still the size of washbasins, having grown in the Tentacle Nest. Georg looked at her with a puzzled expression.

“I don’t remember them being that big last time.”

“They were nothing compared to now. Could she have become like that too?”

“Hmm… It’s hard to say anything since I don’t know anything. Old man, what do you think?”

Walter, who had been watching their conversation from the side, scratched his head and said.

“I can’t be sure, but it’s possible. I’ve heard stories of Tentacles turning people into breeding grounds in other places, laying Eggs all over their bodies and dismembering them, but I’ve never heard of them changing their bodies to that extent. It could be a mutation. Still, it would be faster to hear the story directly from her.”

“Can you cure her?”

“There are no external wounds, but there’s considerable damage to her head. It won’t be easy, but I’ll have to try my best. Even more so if she’s really Eva. Oh, right. I didn’t mean to talk about this, but it’s been a while. What’s your name?”

“I’m Asha. This child is my daughter, Lucia.”

“Yes, this child is the one Georg was talking about.”

Walter bent down to make eye contact with Lucia. When Lucia stared at him with wide eyes, Walter burst into a hearty laugh.

“Hehe… she’s still like a blank slate. She could become a guardian or a disaster. The lady’s efforts will be important. I hope you raise that child properly. Georg, are you satisfied?”

“If it’s the old man, you’ll be able to see properly. I understand.”

“Of course. I’ll definitely raise her well.”

Asha nodded with a firm face at Walter’s request.

“…?”

Lucia knew that they were talking about her, but she didn’t understand everything and tilted her head. Walter sent Georg back and called Asha to follow him.

“You must be quite tired from coming all the way here. If you’re going to stay here for a while, I’ll give you a guest room.”

“Thank you, Walter.”

Asha, who had escaped from the Labyrinth and came to the Orc village, stayed at Walter’s house.
