130.

My strength is still depleted, but my spirits are surprisingly high. Perhaps it’s because the pressure weighing on me has lifted. Or maybe it’s because of the dragon’s blessing on my ring. It could also be the refreshing feeling of open space. Or perhaps it’s because Prim’s situation has been resolved.

I begin to hear the sound of splashing water. The closer I get, the louder it becomes as I take heavy steps.

“It sounds like it’s echoing… A cave perhaps?”

“The presence you mentioned is still there, correct?”

“Yes. That… how about the divine power? Do you feel anything?”

Erina nods. A warm wind guides the way, and I feel a powerful force, a mysterious energy I can’t quite explain in a few sentences. The goddess’s aura, undoubtedly, is there.

The answer lies there. That power is the key – the key to unraveling the mysteries of this land. She steel her resolve once more.

The problem is a single presence. Prim’s surprising appearance made me briefly hope it was Austina Rollin, but apparently, not at all. What could it be? Whatever it is, it can’t be stronger than a dragon.

‘Should I have brought Prim? …It would be like using a dragon to catch a slime. Let’s trust Levi-ssi.’

While overwhelming strength would certainly be helpful, having Prim constantly clinging to me would be a nuisance. It’s one thing if she just stays put, but her lust for my semen makes her just as bothersome as a demon, at least right now.

Of course, once we go back and rest for a bit, I’ll give her the promised reward. It’s just that I’m even more tired now.

“This way.”

“It seems to be a cave, as expected.”

The sound of water clearly echoes. It sounds like there’s a small waterfall inside the cave.

The two cautiously enter the cave.

“…Ouch?!”

“Levi-ssi?!”

Unlike Erina, who passed through naturally, Levi bumped his forehead as if there was an invisible wall. He touches it tentatively and confirms a transparent barrier is there. However, Erina feels nothing of the sort.

“This…seems to be a barrier spell. What criteria are used to distinguish us… Divine power… perhaps?”

An answer based on the unique situation. I could guess it was a boundary spell, having seen Serena use them a few times. Since it’s a place where the goddess’s power is present, there’s a good chance it requires divine power. Conversely, it is the ideal place to protect from demons and monsters.

“How… Is it possible to do this alone?”, Levi asks with a worried tone.

“Hmm. If it’s divine power, then I have to do something somehow. Would you wait here for a moment?”

I must go forward. This is no time to hesitate; if I were to hesitate, I shouldn’t have even started.

‘Well, Prim-ssi probably wouldn’t be able to get in either. Heh heh…’

With a self-deprecating smile, she enters the narrow, humid cave. The air is very humid, with the constant sound of splashing water and moss covering the entire wall. Visibility isn’t bad thanks to some bioluminescent moss.

My skin feels sticky, and it’s clearly not just sweat.

‘Water… It doesn’t seem like groundwater… it’s more like a still lake? It doesn’t seem like ordinary water; It seems to shimmer subtly…’

Her footsteps became mixed with the sound of the water. Even Erina feels a presence in the damp cave. Given the divine power-restricting barrier, it’s hard to judge the being as malicious.

“Kaaat…! C-cold… water droplets…”

A drop of water falls on her neck. She instinctively wipes it away, and a voice echoes.

“Ho. To find this place… you’re no ordinary person.”

“W-who are you? W-what is this place?”

“Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Indeed. It seems you are worthy of being here.”

“…I am Erina of the Pai Sect. I was led here by the guidance of the Goddess. And you?”

Erina introduces herself calmly.

Then, a human form begins to materialize in midair. A being classified as undead, rarely seen and sometimes treated as urban legend. Clergy are sometimes employed for its eradication. But since it’s not a demon, it doesn’t have particularly effective attack methods; The misunderstanding arises from its appearance. Similar to Banshees, a higher-order demon, this similarity led to a misunderstanding since ancient times, and the mere existence of this being now instills fear in some. That being is:

“A G-ghost…?!?”

It’s Erina’s first time seeing one in person. She’s only read about it in a handbook during her apprenticeship.

“Life certainly exists. Follow me. A trial awaits you. I must verify if you have the will to inherit my will.”

There’s no choice but to follow. While the lower part of her thighs are shapeless, she assumes a walking stance. While translucent and bluish, a closer look reveals rather revealing attire. Thick stockings constrict her ample thighs, and her clothing exposes her back.

‘No, what am I thinking… even so, penetrating a ghost is a little…besides, I can’t even bear children…?’

Yet, seeing that sensual gait, my penis is reacting. The goddess’s mission is to increase the number of believers. Is it right to give grace to a body unable to conceive? My penis urges me to fuck her right now, but I wonder if there’s even an opening within those thighs.

“…Are you listening?”

“Ah, yes?! I’m sorry. What did you say?”

“It’s a joke. I said that because you were making such a lewd expression. Judging by your expression, you look like you’d even eat a slime.”

“……Ugh.”

Her face flushes with shame. Feeling shame has also been a long time coming.

Following the stagnant water, they reach a large lake that appears to be the source. Although it is simply still, bubbles rise, creating large waves. Furthermore, a soft light emanates from the bottom.

“This is my… to be precise, my original body’s emergency shelter.”

The vague form begins to become clearer. Her body is now definitely colored and full of life. Her already delicious flesh gleams with vitality making her even more desirable. I should be focusing on the story but I can’t hear it. The cloth drapes down from her neck in an A-shape, barely covering her breasts. They are less ample than Erina’s, yet still quite full, swaying gently enough to steal my attention.

However, her legs are shapeless from mid-thigh down.

“……No matter how I explain it, it seems you’re not listening. Very well. Let’s finish the trial and then talk.”

“U-uh… So, what is this trial…?!”

“Undress.”

Unlike Erina’s skill commands, it’s a gentle and non-coercive tone. Erina hesitates for a moment before reaching out, then obediently removes her clothes. It’s freezing cold outside, as winter approaches, but the cave is gently warm.

“Ho. Indeed. You haven’t gotten an erection but that’s quite something. Plus, your breasts and buttocks are also splendid.”

My penis twitches at the blatant gaze.

“But this is strange. You look like you are about to be raped, yet you are maintaining self-control. That shouldn’t be possible.”

“I, I came so much on the way that it was painful… I’m actually at my physical limit right now…”

The ghost(?) nods alone and smiles. Then, she approaches Erina, spreads her legs wide open, and pushes aside the cloth covering her nipples. She makes a ring shape with her fingers, brings it to her mouth, and then pretends to lick inside her front and back, sticking her tongue out. She even makes erotic, sloppy sounds. She’s suddenly lost her elegant, refined demeanour, revealing a vulgar slut.

My penis twitches at the erotic act of simulated fellatio, but it doesn’t reach full erection.

As soon as she sees this, she immediately returns to her original dignified demeanor.

“I see. This indicates that you have a problem.”

“……Do I need an erection to pass the trial? I can recover in a day, no, half a day.”

Certainly, within that time, in Erina’s current condition, she can undoubtedly produce several times more semen than most humans. But considering Levi, other church members, and the current battle situation, that time is too precious to waste.

Erina’s worries are clearly visible on her face, and the ghost smiles subtly, as if to reassure her.

“Don’t worry. As I said, this is my emergency shelter, so something like that is nothing.”

“Excuse me, but I haven’t heard who you are yet…?”

“Ah, yes. But I think you already somewhat have an idea.”

“From you… no, here I feel… this energy is very similar to the Goddess’s.”

It’s a strange, indefinable feeling – similar yet not – that I can’t definitively say no.

“That’s right. I am a fragment, an incarnation, born long ago when demons rampaged this land. It has been so long, even my original source has forgotten me.”

“The G-Goddess…!!”

Erina kneels respectfully, naked.

“Stop it. I am not worthy to be called a God. I have life, but you see, I don’t even have a full body, even below my hips.”

“E-even so, I apologize for my presumptuousness…”

“It’s alright. Lift your head. More importantly, there is a trial. I need to check whether my original source is clinging to a vain hope under the tides of time.”

The incarnation points her finger towards the source as she speaks. The mysterious waves continue.

“That is my bodily fluid. My sweat, my saliva, and my vaginal fluid.”

Erina gulps.

“Drink.”

“With gratitude―♡”

There’s no reason to refuse. In fact, I want her to let me. Even more so if it’s the Goddess’s. Erina immediately scoops some of the liquid into her hands and drinks it.
