Chapter 88: The dildo I was
pampering smelled like another woman’s scent (3)

The
top floor of the Explorers’ Union.

Inside
Idelbert’s training room, ragged breathing echoed.

“Hmph,
hmph.”

I
collapsed to the floor and controlled my breathing.

I
couldn’t lift a finger.

Sweat
poured down like rain, soaking through my clothes and filling my
helmet with dampness.

I
looked at my right arm and saw that it was filled with a gravity
control artifact.

Usually
reserved for running on the track at the end of training, I’d been
wearing it since the beginning of the day.

Koooow!

“Ugh!”

I
felt my firm buttocks being crushed by a firm foot.

Turning
my head slightly, I caught a glimpse of a cool, pale brown, toned leg
stretching out in front of me.

She
moved slightly, and the pressure on my ass intensified.

I
turned my head a little more, and the smooth, sockless soles of her
feet were trampling on my dignity and pride.

“Dang,
where the hell are you pressing?”

I
couldn’t bring myself to yell at the bully, so I asked nervously, and
the answer that came out of her mouth was pretty nasty.

“I
can’t stand seeing you lying down and acting like a fool. Were all
those times you said you wanted to become stronger a lie? Huh? How
long are you going to lie down and rest like that? You have high
hopes, but your motivation is just so weak.”

“Ugh!”

A
hot emotion rose in my chest and I couldn’t stay still after hearing
such words.

I
thought, “The time has come to teach her a lesson. Today is the day
I will repay you for all the humiliation you have suffered.”

Immediately,
I braced myself and stood up straight, defying the gravitational pull
of my body.

The
sole of her foot pressed against my hip.

I
didn’t have my axe with him now, so I raised my fists instead.

I
take a guard stance to protect my head.

“Here
we go.”

“Yes!”

A
short shout, and Idelbert’s figure was gone.

According
to the rules of combat, in times like these, the back-

“Not
behind, but to the side.”

But
I knew this was coming.

I
had fought Idelbert every day of my life.

Chin!

Idelbert’s
tersely outstretched fist slammed into my guard.

“Hoh.”

A
brief exclamation and a satisfied smile crossed Idelbert’s face but I
couldn’t smile.

‘I
didn’t block it perfectly!’

The
gravity control artifact made my body movements slower than expected.

-Kaang!

Idelbert’s
fist pierced through the guard.

The
sound of steel clashing resounded as hand and helmet collided. My
vision shook like an earthquake.

Gritting
my teeth against the weakness in my legs, I spread my arms slightly
and ducked low to avoid Idelbert’s tackle, sending my body flying to
the left.

Just
when I thought I’ve dodged it perfectly.

Thrrrr-!

“This
is your first time, isn’t it?”

Something
soft but firm wrapped itself around my abdomen.

I
immediately realized what it was.

“A
tail?!”

It
was Idelbert’s tail, flicking viciously like a whip, wrapped around
my stomach.

“You
are inexperienced, apprentice. You must consider the characteristics
of the opponent’s race when fighting.”

Idelbert’s
tail lightly lifted and carried my heavy body. I ended up in
Idelbert’s arms.

-Pow!

Idelbert’s
black cat tail dropped me backwards onto her body, like a dolling
machine tossing a doll into a doorway.

“Whoops!”

Idelbert
let out a gasp as a full-grown man’s muscular body landed on top of
her.

‘Aaaaahhhh!’

She
immediately wrapped her limbs around mine and skillfully tied them
off.

I
could feel his large udders expanding under the weight of her body
near my lower back.

Idelbert’s
sleek limbs squeezed my limbs, pinning me down as if they would never
let go.

“Uhhhhhhh!”

I
twisted this way and that, trying to free myself from the restraints.

“Hoop,
huh, ughhhh!”

I
twisted my back and moved with such vigor that Idelbert’s chest
heaved with my movements.

The
more I cried, the stronger Idelbert’s bindings became.

I
couldn’t allow myself to be taken advantage of like this, so I moved
my body more dynamically.

My
breathing became more ragged as my body became hotter and hotter.

I
was naturally drenched in sweat.

I
involuntarily rubbed my body against Idelbert’s, and we exchanged a
lot of sticky sweat.

“Kkkkkkkk!”

At
that moment, Idelbert felt something hard on her waist, pressing down
on her soft udders.

At
the same time, Idelbert hastily released the restraints.

I
didn’t have time to revel in my newfound freedom before I tried to
strike back.

Aaaah!

But
Idelbert was quicker to react, and I was subdued again.

“Kek!”

Her
slender, yet firm thighs casually wrapped around my neck.

‘It’s
over.’

I
realized my defeat. I had fallen into the prison of Idelbert’s firm
thighs.

In
all my battles with Idelbert, I had never succeeded in escaping from
her thigh prison.

Koooowwww!

I
felt a jarring sensation as the thigh cage began to tighten.

Idelbert’s
fingers closed over the eyeholes of my helmet and pressed down
firmly.

Then
I felt the back of my helmet press firmly against something soft.

From
the angle, probably⋯y-zone.

The
back of the helmet was pressing down on Idelbert’s pussy.

It
wasn’t of my own volition; Idelbert’s hands held my head so tightly
that it was impossible to even turn my head.

I
felt the heat from his helmet, and when I looked down, I saw her
coppery thighs wrapped around my neck.

Kooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

‘Oh,
this is really dangerous now⋯’

The
thigh’s grip on my throat tightened and my mind goes blank.

-Mmph!

I
quickly slapped Idelbert’s thighs three times but Idelbert was
concentrating on something and didn’t respond to the signal of
surrender.

I
was stunned, trapped in the prison of her firm thighs.

***

It’s
a familiar udder, darkness without the slightest hint of light.

The
helmet’s field of vision was blocked by the udder wrapped in a black
leotard.

“Wake
up, apprentice.”

“⋯Why
didn’t you let me go?”

I
asked, groggily, on Idelbert’s lap.

“Hmm.
If you lose your mind in a situation like that, you’re dead. I wanted
to teach you the endurance to withstand anything.”

Idelbert
coughed for a moment, then spouted off a series of plausible
explanations.

“⋯Is
that so?”

“Yes.”

Idelbert
nodded in agreement.

“Or
do you dare to think that your heavenly master taught you something
strange to fulfill her own selfish desires?”

I
asked.

“⋯No.”

“Hmm.
Okay. First, gulp this down and get up. Your training is just
beginning-”

Idelbert
said as she pulled a potion from her waistband.

-Ting!
Tiddling-

A
coin fell from her waistband.

‘Isn’t
that the coin I saw earlier?’

A
coin tied to a thread.

The
object that looked like a hypnotic tool, the one that Professor Arpo
and I had been talking about, the one that talked about illusions and
magic, fell to the floor.

I
instinctively reached out to grab it as it rolled toward me, but
Idelbert was much faster.

She
snatched it up in a flash and held the potion out to me with a
nonchalant expression.

“Be
quiet and drink this.”

But
my attention was already drawn to the coin.

“What
is this coin thing? You were talking about it earlier with Professor
Arpo.”

“It’s
too early for you to know.”

I
raised a question mark. ‘Too early for me to know?’

“Like,
a valuable relic or artifact?”

“Yes.”

“Oh.”

If
it was valuable enough for Idelbert, then it was too early for me to
know.

I
immediately lost interest.

“Hmm.
No, wait. Now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem to be a
problem.”

But
this time, Idelbert suddenly slapped her chin and muttered something
along those lines.

“Disciple,
of all the people you’ve fought, who is the strongest?”

“You
mean the strongest opponent?”

“Yes.
Whether you fought inside the labyrinth or outside, whether it was a
human or a beast, it doesn’t matter.”

“Of
course Master is the strongest opponent.”

Idelbert
stared at me blankly for a moment, as if I were saying something
obvious.

“⋯Hmph!”

She
suddenly coughed loudly.

“So,
the pupil has suddenly put gold on his master’s face. I meant not
against me or Diana, but against someone you’ve fought directly.”

It
wasn’t gilding, but a slap on the wrist for being so strong and
choking her apprentice with her thighs, but Idelbert seemed to take
it in stride.

I
sighed and calmly recalled.

‘Of
all the people I’ve faced, this is the strongest.’

Among
humans, Gurmimi, the leader of the outlaw Clan Blues, whom I captured
last time.

Of
the monsters, the horrific abomination I faced last time.

‘How
did I meet both meet in the Labyrinth? That’s just bad luck. Fuck.’

I
muttered a silent curse and answered Idelbert’s question.

“Among
humans, it was one of the outlaws, and among monsters ⋯
I did meet a
rather creepy one on the fifth floor this time.”

“⋯The
one you met on the fifth floor?”

Idelbert’s
eyes narrowed.

“Tell
me more.”

I
gave Idelbert a brief account of what had happened on the fifth
floor.

The
black egg, the magi-clad abomination that awakened within it and the
battle that ensued.

“⋯The
seal of [Gluttony] was broken because of the omen. That bitch is a
pain in the ass. Why did she even send a team from the temple to
investigate?”

Idelbert
muttered, pressing her hand to her forehead like a boss who had just
received a late report on a troublesome matter.

Serif’s
escort paladin, Nate Elin, had an eerily similar reaction when she
told me what had happened on the fifth floor.

Idelbert
even seemed to know more about the matter than Nate Elin.

‘Is
there some secret that only the higher-ups know about the Labyrinth?’

“Seals?
Gluttony? What do you mean?”

I
expressed my curiosity with a nonchalant face, and Idelbert flicked
my helm in disbelief.

“This
is too much for you to know, apprentice. Don’t concern yourself with
this right now, focus on your growth, and come back later when you’re
at least a mid-level explorer.”

The
pat on the head quickly turned into an awkward stroke.

“Well
done, though. Not only did you survive the glutton, but you killed
it⋯
something that shouldn’t have been possible at your level. It’s not
much of a reward, but as your master, I’ll get you something sooner
or later.”

“Uhhh,
thank you.”

The
sudden baptism of advice and praise made me feel a little
uncomfortable.

Idelbert
was usually a bit expressionless, blunt, and sex-driven, but at times
like this, she was very forgiving.

‘Her
breasts aren’t so big for nothing, after all.’

It
seemed that women with large breasts were inevitably endowed with the
qualities of a mother.

“Well,
then. Is the glutton the most difficult opponent you’ve ever met?”

Apparently,
the one Idelbert called the [Gluttony] was the same abomination I had
encountered on the fifth floor.

“Yes.”

“Hmm.
That would make the difficulty level too high⋯
but whatever. Big trials make for bigger experiences. You’re not
going to die anyway.”

Idelbert
muttered as she looked at the coin tied to the thread, then turned to
look at me.

“What
in the world is that?”

“You’ll
understand better if you experience it yourself than if I tell you.
Here. Look at me.”

I
straightened up and looked at Idelbert, and she took hold of the
thread and slowly waved the coin in front of me.

“In
a vision composed of the remnants of your memories, you will relive
your ordeal.”

She
smiled bitterly as Idelbert began to chant a convincing incantation.

“Master.
Even children play such tricks these days, no⋯hah⋯”

‘⋯What?’

My
consciousness is sinking.

My
vision is closing in on me, like an intense surge of energy.

“This
is the strength you wanted. You’ll have to fight with evil,
disciple.”

Idelbert
smirks, and with that, my consciousness fades.

My
feet were damp and they felt wet.

I
looked down at my feet and saw water seeping into my gaiters.

It
was strange. I certainly wasn’t wearing gaiters when I fought
Idelbert.

Moreover,
I was still wearing not only my gaiters but also the leather armor
Diana had given me.

This
was obviously impossible.

“⋯What
the fuck is this?”

I
looked around in a daze.

I
was in a place I would never forget, the fountain at the end of the
fifth floor of the Labyrinth.

“Crazy⋯”

[Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!]

I
immediately turned my head at the piercing sound.

A
horrible abomination, no, it was the being called Gluttony, puffing
up its huge body on the spot and letting out a scream.

-Koo-koo-koo-koo!

The
simple lunge shook the Labyrinth like an earthquake.

It
was then that the situation became clear.

-Relive
your ordeal in an illusion composed of the remnants of your memories.

In
an illusion, a dream or something like it.

In
other words, this place is not real.

The
ordeal I went through was the thing itself.

The
answer was simple and straightforward.

‘If
I kill it, I can end this ordeal.’

The
abomination opened its giant mouth to swallow me whole.

I
chuckled to myself and gripped the axe at my waist.

The
sensation of the handle wrapping around my hand was unnerving and my
concentration spiked.

[KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!]

An
axe wrapped in a radiant light was swung fiercely towards the
charging creature.
