Chapter 383: Locked In
I’ve always put my life on the line in battle.
When I fought Luna, I gritted my teeth and endured even as my skin was scorched by divine power. When I fought Gremory, I withstood the agony of my body catching fire. When I fought Halphas, I always went all out.
This battle against Levis was no different. I fought her with my life on the line, and though I’d said more than once that I wouldn’t die, I always kept the possibility of death in mind.
When you fight enough battles with your life at stake, you develop a certain instinct.
Ah, at this point I’m at least not going to die.
Ah, at this point I can see the tide turning.
Ah, at this point I’ve won!!
"Ahahahaha! Levis, Levis! Didn’t you say you were going to fly all the way to the Leo Marquisate?! At this rate you’re going to hit the ground!"
I thrust my hips upward from below. I could barely move my body, but even 2 centimeters of back-and-forth was enough to jab against Levis’s cervix.
"Ah, ahhh, nghhaaahng!!"
Levis flapped her wings for dear life, trying to stay airborne. Both her arms were still pinned by Luna, and the upper portion of her wings was crushed beneath Luna’s chest, unable to beat properly.
Like a paper airplane losing altitude, Levis was sinking toward the ground, ever so slowly.
"Just give up already!"
"I, I can’t...!"
Luna began thrusting her hips in earnest. In sync with her movements, Scar Theology undulated ceaselessly inside Levis’s belly, stimulating her. An ordinary human adventurer would have given up long ago, but Levis clung to the sky with everything she had, desperately refusing to fall.
But that, too, was coming to an end. Levis might have been able to withstand the stimulation hammering her from above and below, but she couldn’t defeat the laws of nature.
Apples are bound to fall, and nothing that flies can stay in the sky forever. Especially not with heavy weights attached. And even less so when those weights, me and Luna, were vigorously draining her stamina by assaulting her erogenous zones.
"Ah, ahng, aahh, hnngghh!"
Levis panted and shook her head. The strength to move her wings seemed to be fading; their movement grew sluggish. At the same time, our bodies began plummeting downward.
"UWOOOOH!!"
I trusted my body. I trusted the physique I’d trained all this time, the buff from my still-glowing red tattoo, and above all, my back and spine.
Even if we nosedived and hit the ground, I would catch both of them with my back, with my whole body. As the sensation of free-falling off a gyro drop washed over me, I clamped my mouth onto Levis’s breast with the resolve that this might be the end.
"HAAAAAAAHK!!"
Levis threw her head back. The vaginal muscles clenching my dick spasmed, and her wings stopped moving at the same time. The nipple I’d been lightly holding with my tongue quivered, vibrating against it.
Levis had cum. Reaching climax in midair, she’d forgotten to move her wings entirely. What came next was, in a way, inevitable.
KA-THOOOOM!!
It felt like a truck had slammed into me from behind, and my vision went white for an instant. This was the first time I’d felt a pain worse than being burned by fire or divine power. I couldn’t even gauge how many meters we’d fallen from.
But one thing was certain: as much as it hurt, enough to feel like dying, I wasn’t dead.
"Ngghh, haaahh, rrrghh!!"
I endured the pain by biting down on Levis’s chest. Since my face was buried in her breasts, my skull thankfully hadn’t hit the ground, and I’d landed squarely on my back, unintentionally maximizing the surface area of impact.
And most importantly, we hadn’t landed on hard wasteland. We must have been flying in a straight line toward the Leo Marquisate, crossing over a ridge, because where we’d landed was muddy ground near a riverbank.
’I’m alive.’
Though my body hurt too much to get up, I had definitely survived. The moment I felt the relief of being alive, all the tension in my body released.
"Haah, I think I’m gonna cum."
I let out a deep sigh. At the same time, I released a thick load down below. The instant I hit the ground, my entire body had screamed with pain, but the ache in my dick, still inside Levis, seemed to cancel out under the crushing pressure of her clenching walls.
"...I came."
I tilted my head back in relief. At the same moment, Levis’s face dropped onto my forehead with a thud. Eyes closed, dripping tears and drool, Levis had passed out.
"Hey... Levis. You can’t just pass out on me... your lair is filling up with my sperm right now."
I reached down and gently patted the top of Levis’s butt. The back of my hand brushed against Luna’s pubic bone. Fortunately, Luna didn’t seem to be seriously injured either.
"Hey!"
"I’m alive. Dick’s fine too. Don’t worry."
"What about your back?!"
"...No idea. Some rest and I’ll probably be fine."
I might have protected my body and my dick, but my back was going to need some time. While Luna quickly pushed herself up, I gently pressed down on Levis’s hips.
"Ugggh, this is insane...."
Even unconscious, Levis’s body was instinctively welcoming the male inside her. The lair, regardless of its owner’s wishes, had opened its gates to the orc battalion that had marched in. Why else would it have opened its own cervix?
"Luna, we won, right?"
"Yeah. Levis is knocked out, so we won. It’s over once you capture the enemy commander."
Levis’s wings had flopped to the sides. Her tail drooped limply into the mud. I steadied my breathing until I had enough strength to sit her up.
"Ask the Slamias, will you? Round up all the slime dragons and have them transport me back to the dungeon. The rest... I’ll leave to Shaitan and Eila."
"Hey. What if our legion didn’t manage to take out the enemy forces?"
"There’s no way they can’t catch soldiers whose commander ran away. I didn’t raise them to be that weak."
After all, the tide had already turned in our favor when I’d chased after Levis. I was certain our legion had won a hard-fought but decisive victory against the subjugation force. Because I was certain, I could relax and let my guard down.
"...Luna."
"Yeah."
"Thanks for putting your life on the line with me."
"If you know that, just be quiet. I’ll call the others."
Luna lay down flat beside me, not caring that she was getting covered in mud. Then she placed her hand on her lower abdomen, fidgeting before resting it on her belly.
HOOOOOOO!!
A silver beam of light shot into the night sky. It was far weaker and less destructive than before, but once our legion soldiers saw the signal Luna had fired, they’d come running.
"Luna, your hair’s all covered in mud."
"So what? This is all from saving you. Maybe the goddess saved us, you know? I was desperately praying in my head, begging her not to let you die."
"While grinding on Levis’s ass?"
"Yeah. It doesn’t matter how you pray, as long your sincerity reaches her. Heh heh, our dick really must be the goddess’s favorite."
Luna stroked my cheek and grinned softly. As she drew a stigmata on my cheek with her mud-covered fingers, I couldn’t help but let out a helpless laugh at her mischief.
"The goddess probably has her own reasons for looking out for me. ...But why do you keep calling me ’dick’?"
"Am I wrong?"
"...You’re not wrong, but when it’s just the two of us, I’d prefer ’darling’ over ’dick.’"
"...."
Maybe it was the life-or-death flight. Luna’s face, lit by the moonlight, looked slightly flushed.
"No way. That’s embarrassing, so I’m sticking with ’dick’ from now on."
"...Suit yourself. Oh, but your dick’s got a problem."
"What? Why? Does your back hurt? You can’t do hard thrusting or anything?"
"...No, it’s not that."
I let out a hollow laugh at the stubbornness of my dick and Levis’s current condition.
"The glans went past the cervix and it won’t come back out."
"...What?"
"When we hit the ground, the impact shoved my glans through the cervix and inside. And then this bitch passed out and... clamped it shut. I’m losing my mind."
"Pff, pfahahaha!"
Luna doubled over laughing. She was smeared head to toe in mud across her white skin, but she didn’t care one bit, slapping the ground and cackling.
"Half-dragon or whatever, nothing can beat our dick! Heh heh, you really are mine."
"...No, I’m seriously in trouble right now."
My consciousness, already blurring from the searing pain, was fading further. My body was shutting down like a switch being flipped, forcing recovery mode.
"My... 24-hour erection doesn’t go down easily...."
"Oh."
"Worst case, I might have to stay inside her for the rest of my life...."
"Oh, no!!"
Luna shot up in a panic. Her arms must have been exhausted from holding Levis’s wrists for so long, because when she tried to lift the unconscious Levis off my body, she didn’t have the strength.
"I-I was going to ask you to fuck me the second this fight was over!!"
"...If it still hasn’t come out by the time I wake up, make sure you put this bitch in restraints."
Thud.
I lost consciousness. Luna struggled as hard as she could to lift Levis off me, but the squeeze around my dick from her efforts only registered as a distant sensation; my awareness cut out before it could reach me.
***
Contrary to Rok’s wishes, the battlefield was still in a stalemate. To be precise, a portion of the subjugation force’s soldiers had clustered together, backs to each other, forming a circular defensive formation.
"You are surrounded. Drop your weapons and surrender."
Eila, wearing her Andras mask, sat atop her unicorn and made the offer in a low voice. Given the Legion of Wrath’s policy of not indiscriminately killing prisoners, the humans still had one chance left.
"In accordance with the Ras Vegas Treaty, prisoners will undergo our legion’s proprietary rehabilitation process. Those who resist will be killed. Those who do not resist will be Rassed."
"Rassed?"
"You will mate with monsters."
At Eila’s words, the legion’s soldiers all began wearing sinister grins. Orcs, elves, Andras, harpies; they scanned the humans and licked their lips.
"Y-you lunatics! How is that any different from rape?!"
"You came here to kill us. We’re doing the same to you. The only difference is we’ll make you die of pleasure first."
"Just kill us instead!"
"Gladly."
The instant Eila raised her hand, a wind arrow pierced the soldier’s throat. The man who’d been resisting so fiercely dropped dead on the spot, and the expressions on the soldiers surrounding the civilians turned grim.
"You... bastards...!"
"He asked to be killed, so we killed him. I’ll say it once more. Drop your weapons and surrender. Otherwise... we will kill every last one of your soldiers, along with every refugee you’re protecting."
At Eila’s threat, the refugees huddled inside the soldiers’ ring began trembling with fear. Setting aside those who’d fled yet again during the fighting, the roughly 300 surviving members of the subjugation force had formed a circular formation, staking their lives on protecting approximately 700 refugees.
And beyond that formation, the Legion of Wrath had established a wide encirclement. The monsters were naturally far outnumbered by the humans, but the humans couldn’t make a move.
"Everyone who was supposed to protect you has fled. Levis Ann, commander of the Holy Knights, flew off alone toward the Leo Marquisate. Most of the adventurers left to save their own skins. You are humans, but you have been abandoned by humanity."
The faces of the subjugation force and the refugees darkened. They already understood this logically. The priests had been killed; Levis had revealed her half-dragon form and flown away; and the shrewd adventurers had slipped off the battlefield on the sly.
In the end, those who remained were either refugees who couldn’t flee, or the soldiers who’d stayed behind to protect them.
"This is your last chance. Surrender. If you surrender, your lives will be spared."
"...."
Everyone fell silent. Survival meant becoming prisoners, yet the moment they became prisoners, they would be completely severed from humanity.
"If you’re worried about joining the Demon King’s Army, don’t be."
Thud. Eila removed her mask. Shaking her golden hair, which gleamed brilliantly even in the dark night, Eila revealed her human face.
"We are a legion. Human or monster, it makes no difference. Let go of your prejudice and preconceptions about monsters."
Whoooosh.
Suddenly, a pillar of silver light surged into the night sky from the southeast. That pillar of light was unmistakably the signal fired by the elf who’d been launched by catapult.
"...We’ve won. Now then, what will it be?"
Eila held her sword high, having received the news of victory from afar, and delivered her ultimatum.
"If you’re willing to do anything to survive, there’s no reason you can’t have sex with a monster, is there?"
Die, or have sex.
Faced with this choice that defied all common sense, humanity each made their own decision.
