Blue mana gathered in Ian’s hand.

-Saaa.

But it was shaking violently, as if it would scatter at any moment.

Seeing that, what blocked Ian’s Warp was a kind of Barrier that suppressed mana.

‘Suppressing mana like that… is it made with Divine Power?’

It felt similar to the Barrier that the Holy Kingdom had prepared in the past.

Of course, I couldn’t be sure since there were various types and uses for Barriers.

“When did they set up the Barrier? Is it a coincidence? Or are they targeting me…?”

Even in the face of a sudden crisis, Ian seemed to be trying to calmly assess the situation.

‘Such a calm attitude is commendable, but…’

Not noticing something like this in advance, no matter what. He’s definitely disqualified as the next Magic Tower Lord.

Well, to make a slight excuse for him, it’s probably my body’s fault for being too attractive.

He must have been so focused on fucking me that he missed the existence of the Barrier. And the other side must have prepared it very secretly.

“Did they find out that I’ve been coming and going here to save Lena? No. If that were the case, there’s no way I wouldn’t have noticed. But if that’s not it, then why the Barrier…?”

“…Serves you right.”

“What did you just say?”

Ian glared at me with cold eyes, as if he had heard my muttering.

“Ian, serves you right.”

“…Are you provoking me right now? Or have you gone crazy from cumming too much?”

“That’s what I want to say. You pretended to be smarter and more meticulous than anyone else, but in the end, you got caught by the Pope for raping me. What are you going to do now?”

“Nonsense. I always made sure to check everything thoroughly so I wouldn’t get caught. If I wasn’t caught, then Annie must have made a mistake. She must have slipped up to the Hero.”

“How pathetic. Are you blaming your beloved younger sister now? The Annie I know would never do something so stupid. You were so distracted by me that you missed the surveillance. You did what you used to look down on ‘idiots’ for doing.”

“…Looks like you want to suffer even worse after what you just went through.”

Angered by my constant taunts, Ian strode towards me and looked down at me.

It was an act intended to threaten me, but… there was no need for me to be intimidated here.

“Ian, whatever the truth is, do you have time to argue with me like this? Other people will be here soon.”

-Dudududu.

Just in time, footsteps were getting closer and closer, loud enough to be heard even without me concentrating.

“Keuk….”

Ian heard it too, and nervously swept back his hair.

“Ha. If I get caught, you’re done for too. Are you saying you don’t mind spending the rest of your life here?”

“That’s right. If you’re caught here, I won’t be in a good position either.”

If this escape attempt was discovered, the Pope’s side would increase security on me even more.

That would naturally increase the chances of me never escaping.

They might even try to get rid of me completely to avoid future problems.

“But that goes for you too, Ian. Whatever the truth is, you conspired with a Demon spy, so it will turn into a diplomatic issue. Even if you get away with it thanks to the Magic Tower’s power, your position as the ‘next Magic Tower Lord’ will be a pipe dream forever.”

“….”

“You know that too, right?”

No matter how much of a genius Ian was, it would be difficult for him to get away with this situation.

People who climbed to the top by trampling on everyone else based on their genius, like Ian, were bound to be hated by many.

If this situation gave the hyenas a reason to attack… he would be subjected to tremendous criticism and slander in the future.

It was a checkmate for Ian too.

“…I admit it. The situation is not good.”

Ian finally bowed his head at my logical attack.

He must have realized that he had made a fatal mistake, so he had nothing to say to me.

“But do you have a solution? If not, I’m amazed that you’re acting so arrogant.”

“At least I can help. But in return—”

-Clang. Clang. Clang.

The sound of metal clashing as people came down the stairs echoed.

‘There seem to be more people than I expected.’

Just by listening, there seemed to be dozens of them.

If all those people were coming to catch us, it was truly the worst-case scenario.

Even as I was thinking, the loud metallic sounds of footsteps walking down the hallway quickly approached,

-Chuck, chuck, chuck.

“…They’re here.”

Everyone stopped right in front of the room I was staying in.

Soon, a loud voice was heard from outside the door.

“Ian Orden, affiliated with the Magic Tower. You are under arrest for colluding with the Demon spy, Lena. Surrender peacefully!”

“Heueu….”

Hearing that, I forced my heavy body up and leaned against the wall.

“Ian, it seems like they know everything and came here to catch you? This isn’t a situation you can talk your way out of. You’ve fallen right into the Pope’s trap.”

“…I know, so you don’t need to explain it.”

“Then what are you going to do now? Are you going to give up everything and surrender?”

“I can’t do that. If I surrender here, all my plans will be ruined. It will be even harder to clean up the mess.”

At that moment. The Holy Knight’s voice was heard again from outside.

“Considering the Magic Tower and Ian’s position, we don’t intend to harm you right away. If you surrender, we will give you a chance to explain through formal procedures. Do not even think about escaping through magic. The Barrier made with Divine Power is blocking Warp Magic, so escape is impossible.”

“So they say?”

“…I have no choice.”

Ian made a determined expression and took something out of his pocket.

-Sueuk.

“That’s?”

This is… a good decision.

I nodded, looking at the Magic Stone that was glowing red.

It was a Magic Stone that he had prepared to break through the Barrier. If he used it now, he would be able to break through the deployed Barrier.

“I never thought I would use it like this inside the Papal Chamber… but if necessary, I have to use it.”

“That’s a good method, but… what about the plan you prepared if you use that?”

“If I get caught here, the plan is over anyway. It’s better than losing everything by being greedy.”

Then Ian could escape with the Magic Stone.

But if that happens… I’ll be left alone.

“Are you… thinking of escaping alone with that?”

“Heuum…?”

Ian glared at me.

“Th, that’s….”

I should have provoked him so much earlier.

I’ll put on a thick face and ask Ian for a favor.

“Take me with you and escape. Now that things have come to this, wouldn’t it be better for me to escape with you?”

“Huh. You told me to die or mocked me for being in a bad situation, and now you’re asking me to help you escape?”

“…If you have even a shred of conscience left, you have to let me escape. Wasn’t the confidence that you would let me escape the price you claimed for raping me?”

“If I escape from here, the Holy Kingdom’s claims can be ignored because there is no evidence. But you know that the story changes if you disappear from here, right?”

“You repeatedly raped me, saying you would use me as a sex slave for the rest of my life. Are you going to abandon me now and run away alone? Are you going to drive me to hell until the end?”

-Kwack.

I grabbed Ian’s arm and waited for an answer.

To be in a position where I had to ask someone who had raped me countless times.

It was a truly humiliating situation.

“Seeing your pathetic appearance makes me feel better. But I’ll get a price in return.”

“….”

I hesitated to answer and pretended to be hesitant.

“The answer?”

“…Okay.”

“But there’s one problem we need to solve first.”

-Hwik.

Ian threw the Magic Stone into the air and lightly caught it.

“The activation of the Magic Stone requires preparation time. As you know, there is a safety device on the Magic Stone to prevent danger.”

“In other words, you need to buy time.”

“Yes. Friction is unavoidable in this situation. Even if hundreds of ordinary Holy Knights swarm us, it’s okay, but the problem is Cardinal Daniel. If that bastard came with them… even I would have a hard time dealing with him in a situation where the Barrier is deployed.”

I tapped my neck and approached Ian.

“Then take off my Choker.”

“How can I be sure that you won’t point a sword at me again?”

“Do I look like someone who would kick away the chance to escape? I’ll definitely be helpful.”

“…Alright.”

Ian reached out to my neck.

-Click.

Then the Choker was easily released and fell off.

“Finally….”

I stroked my neck, which was clean after the Choker disappeared.

‘I’m free from this Magic Suppression Orb.’

There was definitely a different feeling between not using mana on purpose and not being able to use it.

In the case of being suppressed, it felt more uncomfortable and stuffy, so I didn’t like it.

…It’s better when I’m being fucked, though.

“What are you going to do now?”

“I’ll start by ambushing them to buy time. Support me on your own. You can do that much, right?”

“You’re attacking the Holy Knights, are you sure you can handle the aftermath?”

“Are you worried about the aftermath when you’ve already planned to turn the Holy Kingdom upside down?”

“…I guess that’s true.”

“We don’t have time. Are you ready?”

“Just a moment.”

I stretched lightly to loosen my body.

“Keueung….”

Thanks to the mana returning, all my limbs moved well.

Then there’s no problem.

It wasn’t in perfect condition. But it wasn’t like I couldn’t fight.

“Ian, can you clean my body with magic? It’s a bit… difficult to fight in this state.”

“Haa… I understand.”

-Tak!

When Ian flicked his hand, the dirt on my body instantly began to disappear.

-Jureuk.

Of course, the semen inside was still there… but I couldn’t complain any more here.

“You’re not going to ask me for clothes too, are you? There’s no time to comfortably put on clothes.”

“…Yeah.”

I hurriedly put on the clothes that had fallen on the floor.

It was more like wearing clothes with all my bare skin exposed.

But it was better than nothing.

“Ian, I’m ready.”

“Then let’s start right away.”

-Thump, thump.

Ian walked to the door and stopped.

“Surrender quickly! If you don’t, we will enter immediately—”

-Kwaaaang!

“Kuaaak!”

“Dodge to the side!”

“Block it!”

“…How fiery.”

To blow away the Holy Knights along with the door without hesitation.
