Chapter 80: The Genius Masochist Hero’s Hostage Defeat and Submission

Clank.

Clank.

Clank.

The Hero was dragged all the way to the Lord’s mansion, only to find herself trapped in the center of the basement once again. When she had been tricked by the dark elf Noah, it had been an iron cage perfectly fitted to her body. This time, she was suspended from a binding frame custom-made to her form. Dangling like a product on a display rack in a phone store, she periodically strained against her bonds, but she lacked the strength to escape.

The basement again… Do I have some kind of special connection to this place…?

Haaah.

She let out a sigh and strained again.

─Creak.

Even though her level had just been drained, the frame binding her wrists was already starting to warp slightly.

The effect doesn’t last very long. For me, it took that many hits to last just fifteen minutes… Once I build a tolerance, a beating like that will only last five minutes… no, it won’t even take a minute to detoxify… It probably won’t work in the next battle. There’s no way I’d get hit hundreds of times twice, and if I’m only hit once, it won’t even take half a second to detoxify.

In other words, it was useless.

It was a ridiculous thought for the one who had just fallen for it, but she couldn’t help but think it.

They should have killed me then. It was certainly a threatening sex toy, but for our party, it’s a technique that would never work beyond the initial ambush. No, if Tei had been there, it might not have worked at all.

Creak… creak…

At this rate, she felt she could break free in a few more minutes. The other side knew this as well, and without delay, the mastermind appeared. A kind-looking bald man descended into the creaking basement, accompanied by a brainwashed soldier carrying a bucket of water and a disturbingly large syringe. The Hero’s expression twisted.

“You…”

“Well, well, well… It has been a long time, Hero.”

“I’ve never seen your face before… but that voice is…”

Beyond the smiling face of the bald middle-aged man, a dark aura swirled. There was no doubt this man was the Lord of Bere, and because of that, the Hero realized why this land had become what it was. She knew the Lord of Bere’s voice all too well.

“One of the Four Heavenly Kings… I believe, Sloth the Strategist.”

“……Correct.”

Next to the bald head, a viscous face distorted. Resembling a slime, it squirmed in the air before returning to its original form. Whether one could call it his original form was debatable, but the bald man’s face, despite its outward smile, was seeping with venom.

“I see… To think you were still alive… No wonder my younger brother, who was said to have acquired clairvoyance, didn’t know the full story. I was sure we killed all of the Four Heavenly Kings back then. How could this be…”

“As I was made with a slime base, I do not die easily. Unlike the others, I somehow managed to survive and have succeeded in making a comeback.”

Despite his words, his body seemed to be in poor condition, with parts of it remaining distorted. Unlike a dungeon monster, his reliance on the Demon King was significant, and it seemed he couldn’t even regenerate properly.

“Was the matter with Tei your doing?”

“Let’s see… I admit that the soul of Gast, whom he killed, remained within the clairvoyance, but given the saint’s power and disposition, he couldn’t have been possessed. It was merely a slight influence. I see it as the result of that saint acting on his own whims.”

“Is that really so… The fact that he didn’t know your true identity despite having the crystal ball means something, doesn’t it?”

“I’ll concede that point. Gast’s crystal ball was crafted so that it couldn’t reveal the whereabouts or status of the other Heavenly Kings.”

He chuckled as if it were no great secret and gave the frame holding the Hero a light kick.

“Ugh?! Dammit… that Tei… I told him so many times to get rid of that thing because it was ominous, but I never dreamed he’d hide it all this time…”

“I should be the one saying that. Gast’s crystal ball is a fearsome object that can peer into a person’s past. Furthermore, it’s a sinister thing, perfect for making one distrust all of humanity, as it can even see into their innermost thoughts. No matter how beautiful someone is on the outside, you never know what they’re like on the inside, making it an easy tool for betrayal. What’s more, if one were to use it repeatedly on someone they liked or relied on… Kuhuhu… In any case, for you, Reina, the shock must have been even greater, wouldn’t you say?”

The Hero’s eyes narrowed at his tone, which implied he knew about her sex life.

“……You knew about her?”

“Her… her… Ah! You mean the dark elf, Noah! Yes, yes, I made good use of her old comrades! To think she believed she was enjoying a quiet life after being discharged from the Demon King’s army… that she was enjoying her life as a maid… that her comrades just happened to show up to tell her what was going on… She still seems to trust her comrades, but as you know from living in this world, things rarely work out so well. Don’t you think it was all a little too well-scripted?”

“Noah told me she trained me because she was afraid the Demon King’s army would find her again. To curry favor with the Demon King, just in case.”

“She must have thought that with the news of the Demon King’s army being annihilated, she could finally devote herself to her life as a maid. I was certain that if her comrades told her there were surviving remnants, that coward would definitely do something. Needless to say, the idea of ‘training’ was also guided by her comrades.”

“And as a result, I was trained by Noah…”

“Honestly, I didn’t think it would succeed. At most, I figured the spy I planted in Tripol would die, but for some reason, it actually worked.”

“That was my mistake. In any case, my brother saw that incident and my innermost thoughts… I see… So it really is a crystal ball of human distrust.”

“I never guided or touched Reina. The catalyst for that saint’s breakdown was more you than Reina. It must have been hilarious just watching you, his own sister, squealing like a sow and acting like a vagina clown.”

The bald Lord Bere spread his legs and hopped around, mimicking the Hero at that time.

“Stop it… Don’t…!”

CLANG!

Another part of the frame warped.

“Kuhuhu… As expected, you’re a quick study. When you were fighting us, you never let your guard down, so it seems your masochistic tendencies didn’t blossom. But once peace arrived and your mind relaxed, it was a completely different story. Perhaps because of everything you’d learned, your awakening was fast… You would have been better suited as a prostitute than a Hero.”

“──Hey, you’re about to die.”

“So it would seem. We combined the Empire’s technology to create this new restraint, but even that isn’t holding for long… Your level seems to have almost fully returned, and trying to stab you with a blade now wouldn’t kill you…”

“What is your goal?”

“If you’d be so kind as to stop resisting, I’ll tell you a few things. What will you do? It’s been a long time since we’ve met, so my lips are itching to talk, and I’m sure you’d like to know the whole story, wouldn’t you, Hero?”

“………The whole story?”

“Or will you leave without knowing anything?”

“Didn’t you get a harsh lesson from us for blabbering like that before?”

“This is just my nature; I can’t help it. When I have the upper hand, I reveal all my efforts up to that point and watch my opponent’s face fill with despair. That is the noble hobby of I, Sloth the Strategist.”

“Noble? It’s just plain creepy.”

“Kukuku…”

When he laughed again, asking what she would do, the strength drained from the Hero’s wrists and ankles. Her arms and legs spread, her pussy covered only by a talisman, the Hero hung limply in a spread-eagle pose. The brainwashed soldiers carefully approached from behind her buttocks, raised the prepared bucket and syringe, and pushed it into her anus.

─Gurgle gurgle gurgle♡

“Hngh♡ Oof♡ Uuuuugh~♡ Wh-what♡ is this~♡ You baaaastard~♡”

Gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle~♡

“Mmmphhhhuuuuuut♡♡♡♡ Oof♡ Ugh♡ What♡ is this♡ Th-this isn’t water~♡”

The frame binding the Hero’s body began to creak again from the sudden, sticky enema, but Lord Bere <Sloth> remained composed.

“Ah, please don’t resist. I’m revealing the story for free, so in return, please just stay like that for a moment. It’s been a long time since I’ve captured you, Hero, so I must enjoy myself as well, mustn’t I? Kuhuhu…”

Gurgle♡

“Ngh♡ Y-you disgusting bastard♡”

At his words, she stopped resisting and quietly received the enema.

Gush♡ Gush♡ Gush♡

It wasn’t an ordinary enema; clumps of gel were being forced inside her, and the sensation was disgusting. But she knew better than anyone that if she didn’t listen to his story now, she would be led by the nose until the end. Once she got used to it, it wasn’t so bad that she had to thrash about. She quietly offered up her anus in an O-shaped leg spread and listened.

“Now then, let’s return to the matter of Noah. As you may have noticed by now, we planted several spies in the Kingdom even before the war. Guiding you, Hero, to a meeting with the country noble Tripol was part of that.”

“Thinking♡ back, it♡ did seem strange♡ Mmmmmmph~♡ I received so many marriage proposals from the First Prince♡ but to think that matchmaking meeting would be arranged first~♡”

Gush gush♡ Gush gush♡

“Yes. Fortunately, you, Hero, being inexperienced in this sort of scheme, were foolishly deceived. Furthermore, the reason the situation in Bere hasn’t been reported to the Kingdom’s high command is also because of that. It’s quite strange, isn’t it? So many of these obviously brainwashed soldiers are wandering around, yet no report has reached the Kingdom.”

“Are you♡ ugh♡ saying there are♡ traitors♡ in the high command~♡ too~♡”

“Not traitors. Collaborators, shall we say? We haven’t brainwashed them or anything of the sort. There is simply a certain great person who has honestly followed his own desires. He was reluctant to open his heart during the war, but he’s a rather troublesome human who finally came to understand us after we were annihilated. Thanks to him, we’ve been able to dream of a comeback, so we are quite grateful.”

Even in the midst of this, it was still gush gush♡ gush gush gush♡

“Wh-ugh, uuuuugh♡ Uuuugh♡ Sob♡ Who is it♡ Who on earth♡ would reach out to the likes of you♡ After the war is over♡ that’s the worst possible thing to do♡”

“You should be able to guess who it is.”

Guuuurgle~♡

“I-I don’t know♡ I have no idea♡ Everyone was so motivated to defeat the Demon King’s army♡ How could such a thing♡ Ughmmuuuuuu~♡”

From the excessive gel enema, her pregnant belly swelled even larger, and vaginal fluid leaked from the gaps in her talisman. As if ashamed, she lowered her head, bit her lip, and trembled. Even in this state, the Hero’s genius nature combined with her masochistic tendencies, causing them to develop further.

“Do you like your ruin attribute? You might become just like Reina soon, you know?”

“Sh-shut up♡ I won’t fall that far♡ More importantly, who’s the traitor♡ Who on earth, at a time like this, after the war is over♡ would help you~♡”

“Do you think I’m going to tell you?”

“You said you’d tell me yourself♡ You said it was your noble hobby♡ Q-quickly, tell me♡”

Gush gush♡ Gush gush♡

After confirming that more than half of the gel from the bucket had been injected, the bald man nodded.

“Yes, that’s right. My apologies for being difficult. In that case, I shall tell you. The one who joined hands with us at this time is none other than the First Prince of the Libra Kingdom, Lord Beus.”

“B-Beus!! Why the First Prince!!!”

She forgot her excitement and screamed.

Of course. He wasn’t someone who would betray them.

No, he was someone who shouldn’t have.

“Are you aware that a new king will soon be selected to replace the aging King of Libra?”

“I-I know♡ But what does that have to do with anything♡ The throne naturally belongs to the First Prince, Beus♡”

“Normally, that would be the case, but a problem arose because the Second Prince, Rius, was far too competent. In comparison, the First Prince had the will to protect the country, but he made a string of mistakes in past battles… In the midst of that, he was comforted by you, Hero, and made a comeback, but before he could show off his new self, the war ended… A pitiful man, isn’t he? He wore a grim expression at the thought that he might lose the throne to his younger brother.”

“F-for♡ s-such a petty♡ reason♡”

“Petty? He is the embodiment of pride. Moreover, he is the type of person who believes that the only woman worthy of him is you, Hero. His desires are clear, so we decided to help him.”

“Oof♡ Ah♡ Aaaaaaah♡ Uuuuuuuaaaaaah-♡”

At this point, she understood the flow of the story.

That she had been guided to Tripol, that while she was foolishly enjoying the peace, the high command of the Libra Kingdom, led by the First Prince, had switched factions, and also what Sloth of the Demon King’s army intended to offer First Prince Beus… If Beus accepted and became a pawn of the Demon King’s army, and Libra fell…

“Have you noticed? The moment the Libra Kingdom falls and we unify the Empire, there will be no place left for the Hero’s party.”

“You, you b-b-baaaastard~!!! You son of a biiiiiitch!!!!!!”

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

─CRACK!

“Oh.”

The frame finally broke, and the Hero’s body hit the floor. Her buttocks and belly were heavy, and a large plug had been inserted into her anus at some point, but for the Hero, it was no problem. Clutching her belly, which had grown so large that the word “sow” could no longer describe it, she rose to her feet. Sloth took a step back and smiled faintly.

“You, you… not only are you trying to make Beus king… you dare… try to marry me off to Beus…?!”

“Marry… you say? He is a prominent believer in male supremacy. Rather than a wife, he’d treat you as an ornament for himself, or perhaps a toilet.”

“You think I’ll accept that? I’ve escaped now, you know?! What are you going to do now!”

“No, let me ask you instead. What are you going to do now?”

“I’ll just wipe out the entire Empire with annihilation magic, kill all those bastards in the Kingdom’s high command, and then cooperate with the Second Prince to make him king! I’ve held back until now, considering the civilian casualties, but I can wipe this place, Bere, off the map in one minute! The fact that I was caught this time was actually on purpose! You should know that, right?!”

“Yes, I am aware.”

“In that case─!!”

As the extremely enraged Hero approached, Sloth leisurely clapped his hands.

CLAP-!

“─Mmph♡ Ugh♡ Gohooo♡ Oh♡ Oooooooh♡♡♡”

In that instant, the Hero’s legs, which had been standing proudly, spread into an O-shape again, and she spurted vaginal fluid in a pathetic, disgraceful pose.

“Mmph, oh, ooh♡ Oof♡ Ooooh♡ Wh-what♡ i-i-i-is, this♡♡♡”

The Hero’s eyes widened, bewildered by her own body suddenly spreading its legs like a crab and climaxing. Her opponent clapped his hands, not bothering to hide the secret.

“Always being victimized, always being deceived, yet always winning with overwhelming specs! That’s our Hero! Kuhuhuhu!”

“You’ve~♡ plotted something again, haven’t you~♡”

“Of course. It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t plot something. Will you try to crush my little trick with your strength, just like you always do?”

“That sounds nice, but♡ ugh, ooh♡ would you mind telling me♡ what you’ve done this time♡”

“Hmm hmm… With the situation as it is, even the great Hero becomes cautious. Very good. If you had rushed in right away, I was planning to give you a taste of despair, but I’ll say that was a good decision.”

“Despair♡ What on earth did you-♡”

Guuuurrrrrrgle~♡

“Hnnghoaaaaaat♡♡♡♡ Mmmphhoooooouuuuuuoooooo♡♡♡♡ Oof♡ Oooooook♡♡♡”

Before Sloth could answer, the Hero’s stomach churned. It had definitely entered through her anus, so she didn’t understand why her stomach was hurting. Moreover, the pain was coming from the baby’s room… that is, her uterus. She immediately dropped her attack stance, clutched her belly with both hands, and curled up.

“Mmph♡ Mmphooo♡ Oook♡ Why my stomach♡ My baaaaaby♡ N-no♡ No♡ My precious baby with Tanjelo♡ Whyyy~♡ Hah♡ Hah♡ Stop it♡ Don’t do iiiiiit♡♡♡”

Unable to pierce her own stomach, she could only clutch her pregnant belly and tremble, and he couldn’t stop laughing.

“It’s about time I revealed the secret! What I just put inside you was someone’s personality! Whose personality it is will remain a secret for now… The original plan was to extract your personality, Hero, but then you’d just become a doll, and that’s no fun! Therefore, to give you a taste of despair! I inserted the personality of someone I know and directed it towards your child!”

“Personality♡ What are you talking about♡ Could it be the gel that just entered my ass♡ D-don’t tell me♡”

“That’s right! The gel that entered through your anus melted inside your body and seeped into your uterus! I thought it might fail since your vagina was blocked by the talisman… but well, it worked out somehow.”

“Mmmphh?! D-d-d-don’t touch it♡ Don’t you touch my babyyyy~♡ I’ll kill you♡ I’ll really kill you♡ Youuuuuu♡♡♡”

As the Hero tried to stand again, Sloth took another step back and threatened her.

“Rest assured. That personality is currently near your child, Hero, but it has no intention of touching it right away. However, if you engage in any acts that hinder us in the future, what might happen to the child… you don’t need to imagine it to know, do you?”

He deliberately clapped his hands, making a loud PANG~! sound.

“─Hiccup?!”

It was a horrifying example.

“M-mmph♡ Uuuuuuugh~♡ Lies♡ I-it’s a lie♡ Something like that♡”

She probably never imagined that the child in her belly would be taken hostage.

“Hero. You are kind. But I know full well that you can be cruel in the end. For now, you’ve held back out of consideration for the residents of Bere, but if you put your mind to it, you could wipe this place out. But what about your child? Can you abandon that child, abandon your beloved Tanjelo who is now under our influence, and still defeat me?”

“Tanjelo too?! But Noah is with him!!! Th-that girl, she’s strong! So-!”

“She is indeed strong, as befits a spy, but she is still alone. The assassins I’ve planted will take his life faster than you can abandon your child here and run to your husband. Or perhaps it would be simpler to use the former comrades who sent Noah the information? The moment she lets her guard down, thinking her comrades have arrived, both of them could be gone in an instant with a slice… No, since the First Prince is also cooperating with us, shall we brand them as traitors and kill them? A public execution in the middle of the royal capital… that would be quite a sight, wouldn’t it? Kuhuhuhu…”

“Mmph, ooh, uuuuuugh, uuuuuu!!!”

“In the last war, I used mediocre hostages and ultimately failed to stop you, but it’s different with loved ones. Tanjelo and his child… both of their lives… If you still want to do something, even at the cost of that sacrifice.”

“……N-no! Don’t do it! Don’t touch Tanjelo and the baby! I get it! I’ll do as you say! I won’t interfere, so just that-?!”

“In that case, there’s something you must do. Yes, don’t you think your head is a little too high?”

“Hieeeeee~♡”

Startled, the Hero immediately bowed her head to the ground.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry… So please, I beg you, spare my child and Tanjelo…!!”

She raised her hips high, slammed her forehead to the floor, and prostrated herself desperately. Unlike when Reina was being raped by the bandits, this time, she truly had no room to maneuver. She had thought it would be a simple matter of cleaning up the remnants of the Demon King’s army, but when she came to her senses, the Kingdom was on the verge of being taken over, and her husband was in danger of being killed. On top of that, thanks to Tei’s trolling, the dragon she relied on had been sold off to the Empire, leaving the Hero with no way to fight back.

“A fine sight. However, I’ve been overturned in situations like this more than once, so I won’t let my guard down.”

Sloth struck a pose as if to stomp on the Hero’s head but stopped himself with iron-like patience. Predicting that something might still happen, he ordered the brainwashed soldiers to bring a new frame binder and restrain the Hero.

“Mmph♡ Oh♡ Uuuuugh♡ Uuuuugh♡ Wh-what♡ are you going to do to me♡”

“As planned, I will sell you to the First Prince. You’re pregnant, but you haven’t officially held a wedding ceremony yet, so there should be no problem, right?”

“H-hey! I-I’m pregnant right now-♡”

“The First Prince has given his permission, saying he doesn’t care, so that is not under my jurisdiction. As long as you marry him and follow our and his orders, that will be fine. If we can just eliminate you, Hero, we can handle a dragon in heat who desires ruin one way or another. The saint is in that state, so as long as he doesn’t interfere, there’s no need to touch him, and as for the knight, we’ll make sure he keeps his mouth shut.”

“Sob♡ Hnng♡ Hnng, sob♡ I-I understand♡ So you’ll spare the baby and Tanjelo♡ right♡ You will, right♡”

“You’d run wild otherwise, so I will at least keep that promise. We’ll keep you forever in that little garden called Tripol.”

“Ugh♡ Ugh♡ Uuuuuuugh♡ Huuuuuugh~♡”

As the Hero wept, he whispered one last thing in her ear.

“All those vagina tricks you’ve learned… I’m so looking forward to seeing how a man steeped in the ideology of male supremacy will handle them… Kuhuhu…”

“Hieeeeee!!!!”

That alone was enough to plunge the Hero into despair.

The delightful skills she had learned for Tanjelo were now certain to be twisted into a truly shameful, disgraceful show.
