“Hoo….”

“Wow, we won! We won!”

Just as we, confident of victory, were about to feel relieved.

—Grrrrr.

His growl resounded lowly from within the dust.

When we looked up, the werewolf slowly walked out.

On his side, there was a long scar, and one arm had completely disintegrated.

I slowly retreated in front of Deborah.

“Deborah. Do you know what happened?”

“Ah, it seems he self-harmed right before the attack hit to break the magic! Otherwise, it can’t be explained.”

“Indeed, he overcame it with pain?”

Certainly, I’ve seen cases in some comics where characters self-harmed to resist things like brainwashing.

To actually experience that firsthand.

“This is big trouble! We don’t have magic left either….”

“Calm down. There’s a chance. He also sustained fatal injuries, so he won’t be able to rampage like before.”

“Th-that’s right! He must be very tired, so we can win!”

The moment Deborah regained hope.

—Vwooom!

A powerful magical resonance was heard.

Looking at the source of the sound, a silver orb of magic was condensing in front of the werewolf’s maw.

“Be careful!”

“Wh-what is he doing?”

As I raised my tension and sharpened my vigilance, the silver orb of magic suddenly left his maw and shot towards the ceiling.

The magic orb, having reached the high ceiling, faintly illuminated the interior of the cavern.

Its appearance strongly resembled a full moon.

‘A full moon?’

As soon as that thought reached me, the werewolf let out a howl.

—Awoooooo!

Staring directly at the magic orb, his body, as he howled, grew steadily larger. His height swelled to 3 meters, muscles bulged, and his entire body’s fur bleached silver, emitting a sheen.

His claws, as if imbued with moonlight, emitted a chilling light and exuded sharpness.

Madness gradually filled his eyes, and even the last shred of his reason vanished.

‘Oh, shit. I’m screwed.’

Our chances became zero again.

Werewolves, on nights with a full moon, have all their stats increased by 20 percent.

It was already hard enough now, but without the power of an artifact, dealing with a werewolf in that state is simply impossible.

As if she felt the same way I did, Deborah’s face also turned pale.

“Ru-Ruan. What do we do?”

Her eyes were filled with terror.

Because she knew that even I couldn’t do anything in this situation.

This was true, but at the same time, false.

I have a trump card that I absolutely don’t want to use, but it exists to shatter despair.

“Deborah. I have a way.”

“Again? What is it?”

Deborah, who had been fidgeting as if she was about to cry, looked up at me, her eyes sparkling with hope.

I’m sorry, but there’s no other way.

“You, let’s have sex.”

“What?”

“Then I’ll get you out alive.”

The vitality drained from Deborah’s eyes.

Staring blankly at me, she took a step back and covered her body.

“Wh-what are you talking about?”

“It’s exactly as I said. I’ll save you, so have sex with me.”

Honestly, I hesitated to say this.

Because through the incident with Pernia, I realized that ‘rape’ conducted through a transaction wouldn’t be registered as such.

But anyway, to use the ‘Rape Declaration,’ I need to make the other person aware of it. Even if I tried to pass it off as a slip of the tongue, they wouldn’t be fooled, so it’s easier to state it upfront.

Of course, whether Deborah accepted it was a separate matter.

She shook her head as if she couldn’t understand and cried out.

“Th-this is strange! Why is the conversation going this way?”

“Haven’t you heard the term ‘equivalent exchange’? That’s just how the world works. So, what will you do? Will you have sex with me? Or will you be torn apart alive by the werewolf? Choose.”

“Ugh….”

As I deliberately used harsh words to pressure her, Deborah groaned and choked back tears.

She, who had been looking back and forth between me and the werewolf, met my unwavering gaze, realized there was no room for negotiation, and gave a small nod.

“…Alright. I’ll do it. That.”

“Say it properly.”

“I-I said I’d do it! S-sex….”

“Good. You promised? No going back on your word.”

“I get it! More importantly, do something quickly! It’s trying to move!”

At Deborah’s gesture, I looked straight ahead and saw the werewolf lowering its stance, preparing to leap.

Ignoring that, I spoke the main point.

“Deborah. I’ll rape you.”

“What, rape… what did you say? Why suddenly are you—”

—Grrooaarr!

Before Deborah, startled by the Rape Declaration, could even finish her words, the werewolf roared and leaped with all its might.

His body, leaving afterimages, instantly closed the distance and flew towards me.

“Oh, you bastard?”

In front of that, I couldn’t help but laugh.

That was because although the werewolf’s speed was very fast, its movements were too large.

It was overtly as if it was telling me to try and block it. It exuded confidence that it would never lose in a head-on clash.

‘Arrogant bastard.’

If I roughly assume its Strength is 130, then currently, awakened by the full moon, it’s approximately 160. Even if the stat efficiency doubled, it could be considered 320.

Then what about my Strength?

[Strength: 602 (+516)]

A difference of 282. One might think that’s not much of a difference, but if you imagine the difference between 10 and 292, the perceived disparity is markedly distinct.

This is no different from a child and a bear having a tug-of-war.

I clenched my fist.

An omnipotent feeling that I could do anything ran wild within my grasp.

Holding all of that, I unleashed it.

The distance between me and the werewolf became zero, and the moment our two attacks collided—

—Crrrrrack!

My fist shattered the moon magic imbued in the werewolf’s claws, utterly crushing it, and continued onward to strike its abdomen.

Along with the strain transmitted to my shoulder, the sensation of its internal organs bursting inside was clearly transmitted.

Ignoring the pain, I sent the werewolf flying into the wall.

—Boom!

Just as I had been earlier, the beast, having bounced back like a toy, was deeply embedded in the wall.

The werewolf struggled to somehow get out, but with both arms unusable and its internal organs ruptured, it was meaningless.

On the contrary, the more it moved, the more blood gushed from its mouth.

I approached it.

“Damn persistent. I should have fought a saber-toothed tiger instead.”

If it hadn’t been for losing the initiative to a surprise attack, a saber-toothed tiger infested with demonic energy and a werewolf blessed by the full moon have similar objective combat power.

It means I can overwhelm both of them simply by using the ‘Rape Declaration.’

—Grrrrr…

I looked at the weakly growling werewolf and raised my foot.

My fist was now too difficult to use further.

—CRUNCH!

My descending foot smashed the werewolf’s skull. My knee felt a little stiff, but this much would be fine with a little rest.

Having finally finished it completely, I stepped back.

‘Ah, I feel like I’m going to die.’

Although it was only one minute, I had wandered between life and death, so the accumulated injuries were not few.

I took a potion from my subspace pouch and drank it.

Perhaps because it was a high-grade potion, the scratches immediately disappeared, and my crushed shoulder bone slowly regained its original shape.

It was then that I was able to catch my breath.

“You fraud!”

Deborah, who had been watching the fight, cried out as if she was wronged.

A fraud, she says.

What on earth is she talking about?

I scratched my ear and asked.

“What’s the problem now?”

“What do you mean, ‘what’s the problem’! While having such power, why did you pretend to be weak until now? And you even made a condition about s-sex… that thing! As expected, you’re a bad person.”

It seemed Deborah thought I deliberately acted to have sex.

Actually, it wasn’t incomprehensible.

Because I ended a fight that had been such a struggle in an unbelievably instant.

But that’s beside the point, and I have my own circumstances.

I threw aside the potion bottle and approached Deborah to fulfill the condition.

“Hoo… No more excuses, now keep your promise.”

“N-no!”

“You don’t want to?”

“This is fraud! It was an unfair contract, so it’s void!”

“So you won’t keep your promise?”

I frowned.

Honestly, deep down, I thought it was a good thing since I had to rape her anyway, but on the outside, I acted as if I was troubled.

When I glared menacingly, Deborah flinched, shrank back, and stammered a warning.

“I-if you touch me, my Master-nim won’t stand idly by!”

“Isn’t that too much? Do you even know how much I got hurt protecting you?”

“Th-that’s true, but still….”

When I sharply jabbed at her weakness, Deborah’s attitude softened a bit. I decided to lower my guard, just in case.

“Haa… And I have my own circumstances too. Do you think I *want* to commit rape?”

“C-circumstances, you say? What kind of circumstances….”

“Actually, it’s like this.”

“Actually?”

“That is….”

“That is?”

As I ambiguously dragged out my words, Deborah, though frustrated, focused, as if her curiosity was piqued.

When she was distracted by the story, I subtly closed the distance, then leaped in one go and snatched her arm.

“Got you.”

“Ah, ack! L-let go! Let go! No! I don’t want to! Don’t do it!”

The startled Deborah uttered familiar words, as if she’d learned them somewhere.

But the possibility of a criminal trying to rape a beautiful woman stopping at such words was zero. I easily broke her resistance and pushed her to the ground.

“Stay still. I’ll cum once and let you go.”

I made a 100 percent truthful promise and tore a hole in Deborah’s pantyhose.

Finally, once her panties were moved aside, her pussy was revealed.

“Eek!? D-don’t look!”

Deborah convulsed and tried to stop me, but was quickly suppressed by my strength and fell into a ‘hands-up’ pose.

I slowly admired her pussy.

‘No hair.’

Whether it was waxed away with magic or if she was naturally hairless, I didn’t know, but her pussy was smooth without a trace.

And her labia were small, and perhaps because of that, her clitoris was clearly visible, evoking a desire to touch it.

As my persistent gaze scanned every part, Deborah teared up from shame and pleaded.

“Please don’t do it….”

“Sorry. I absolutely have to have sex.”

“Hngh! Do you really have urgent circumstances?”

“What?”

“You said you had circumstances earlier. Do you really *have* to do it?”

“…….”

For a moment, I was speechless.

When she was caught by me, I thought she would have already realized it was a lie, but Deborah was still believing that story.

No, perhaps she wanted to believe that.

She must not want to admit that I, who had just fought alongside her risking my life, attacked her simply due to lust.

That is to say, if there truly were unavoidable circumstances, she would allow her body.

‘I absolutely can’t tell her.’

If I revealed the circumstances, the ‘Rape Degree’ would clearly hit rock bottom.

Ignoring Deborah, I hastily unzipped my pants and pulled out my cock.

Deborah, seeing my cock, flinched in surprise.

“Ugh… disgusting.”

I was a little hurt.

Although it hadn’t been long since we met, this guy was as precious as my life to me, and she called it disgusting.

She’s too honest.

I, who hesitated for a moment, immediately inserted my cock as soon as I got an erection.

—Squelch…

“Augh!? I-it hurts! It hurts!”

As I violently plunged into her delicate vaginal wall, Deborah screamed.

I felt sorry for her, but for the sake of the ‘Rape Degree,’ it couldn’t be helped. I tried hard to ignore it and pressed my cock down with my weight.

—Thump!

The resistance was not as fierce as I expected, so my cock instantly lodged itself all the way to her cervix.
