Chapter 61 27. It’s Really Big (1)

Lumian’s expression became serious.

What kind of demons could be hiding in the hideout where the succubus was trying to break the seal?

Wouldn’t it be right to assume that there were companions of the succubus?

He thought it was quite possible.

Lumian asked the tattered succubus.

“Hey, by any chance, are the demons in the hideout the same as you…?”

“In my next life… with big breasts…”

Hissssss…

“She’s dead. She wasn’t strong, so she probably couldn’t endure the torture.”

“Hmm…”

“But what were you trying to ask?”

“It’s nothing much.”

“Nothing much my ass, you were going to ask if there were succubi in the hideout, right?”

“Why did you ask when you already knew?”

“I guess I’ve been influenced by you, hyung. Now I want to see a proper succubus too.”

Morghen said with a calm expression. Lumian nodded.

Right, this guy was quite the pervert too.

He unleashed his aura sword to burn the spot where the succubus had died.

The demonic energy that was scattering as smoke was purified by the heat.

“This should be enough, right?”

“Yes. We’ll need to sprinkle holy water on the hideout, but for just one… burning should be sufficient for purification. But hyung.”

“What.”

“If there’s a really pretty succubus in the hideout…”

“If there is?”

“You wouldn’t go easy on her or anything, would you?”

Lumian made an incredulous expression.

With a serious face, he spoke firmly to Morghen.

“Are you crazy? In my past life and in this life, I am a knight.”

He was sincere. Lumian didn’t harbor such thoughts in the slightest.

Even though he lived with desires so strong that his thing felt like it might burst at any moment, he kept everything he needed to keep.

Not only did he care about the peace and tranquility of the continent, but he had never acted against chivalry.

He continued his self-defense.

“Valor, sincerity, honor, courtesy, humility, protection of the weak… Even though I was a bit of a womanizer, I’ve lived while upholding the virtues of knighthood.”

“I understand. It was a joke. You don’t need to defend yourself so seriously.”

Morghen calmed down his agitated hyung.

After packing the torture tools in his backpack, he asked.

“We’re going back to the estate first, right?”

“We have to. We need to get back before morning and show our faces so they won’t worry.”

“Then, should we rest for a day before going?”

“Are you tired?”

“No.”

“Then let’s eat breakfast and go right away. We can’t leave a group of evil threatening the estate for long.”

Lumian said with a solemn expression.

However, to Morghen’s eyes, he only looked like someone desperate to see succubi as soon as possible.

‘Sometimes I miss the old hyung.’

Of course, it was only sometimes.

The current lively hyung was much better than the old quiet and lonely-looking one.

Morghen answered energetically.

“Understood. Let’s go right away!”

* * *

“Well then, I’ll be going.”

“Alright. Though I wonder what there is to see…”

“Be careful, son!”

“Oh my! Didn’t you see the duel? Lumian is an Expert now! What could be dangerous!”

“Hahaha… Then, I’ll be careful and come back.”

Lumian bowed to his parents and left the manor house.

Morghen, who was already prepared, joined him, and the two headed toward the abandoned mountain of the domain at a fast pace.

Arriving at the entrance of the mountain, Lumian muttered.

“Certainly, it’s very different from what I saw when I was young.”

“It does feel lifeless.”

“I heard that hunters stopped coming here two years ago, but who would have thought it was because of a demon hideout.”

“Well, it’s not common. But it’s not completely unheard of either.”

Lumian nodded.

A day completely free from demon invasions could never come.

Quite a few demons that came over with the Demon King still remained, and cases of them appearing through dimensional rifts due to negative emotions were not uncommon.

Reminded of this fact after a long time, Lumian made a serious expression.

‘In this life, my happiness comes first, but still, as much as I can manage…’

I should fulfill my duties as a knight.

Of course, right now he was far from such noble thoughts.

His body heating up, he quickened his pace.

“Here it is.”

“Another cave. They really love caves.”

“It feels artificial. The interior seems quite spacious.”

“There will be many of them?”

“The more the better. The probability of there being a proper succubus increases.”

Morghen answered.

Now the two didn’t even bother with the formal excuse of “for the estate.”

They were simply faithful to their desires. They expressed their thoughts without hesitation.

Like master, like disciple.

“The sealed stone is here.”

“Yes. I’ll break it.”

Morghen nodded, drew his sword, and let out a sharp breath.

Then a blindingly intense aura sword burst forth. Tremendous power could be felt.

He raised it high into the sky, then brought it down forcefully.

A deafening roar echoed.

Crash!

Bang!

Crash!

Craaash!

Rumble-!

The sealed stone broke in just four strikes.

Then the place that had been disguised as an ordinary rock transformed into a dungeon entrance.

If it had been ordinary guards, they would have needed several days to break the sealed stone, but for Morghen, who was a Sword Master, this was nothing.

From the beginning, the fact that the two of them came to subjugate a place crawling with demons, even if it was called a hideout, was proof of their confidence in their abilities.

“Let’s go.”

“Let’s go.”

The two looked at each other once and entered the dungeon interior.

Of course, they weren’t careless at all.

Both Morghen, who became the Mercenary King in his late forties, and the young Lumian, who possessed the experience of a 60-year-old veteran knight, were veterans among veterans.

The two maintained their composure while not neglecting their vigilance. There were several traps prepared for intruders, but they were useless against them.

They walked like that for about 5 minutes and finally encountered the demons.

“Skeletons?”

“They’re skeletons.”

The two muttered briefly and silently swung their swords.

Swoosh!

Crack!

Kieee-!

Twenty skeleton soldiers instantly turned to ash and disappeared.

They had no interest whatsoever in these bone creatures.

Not these guardians at the dungeon entrance, but the real demons lurking deeper inside.

For example, succubi with good figures and pretty faces – those were the ones they wanted to see.

Lumian and Morghen had the same thoughts as they continued forward relentlessly.

And finally.

“No! Humans!”

Ugh, eek! How did they find out we were here?”

“Succubi?”

“They’re succubi.”

They were able to achieve the goal they had so desperately wanted.

It wasn’t even just one.

One, two, three, four… At least ten or more succubi were glaring at them with venomous eyes.

However, Lumian and Morghen couldn’t smile with satisfaction.

Because the appearance of the succubi was far from what they had thought and hoped for.

“This is…”

“Worse than that one yesterday?”

“It’s a bit much to even call them humanoid…”

Lumian muttered with a dejected face.

Short stature that was barely 2 heads tall.

Cute-sized horns and wings as small as a pigeon’s.

They looked like small animals, or rather, fallen fairies.

No matter how hard they looked, they couldn’t find any succubi with curvy, voluptuous figures.

“Argh! Die, humans!”

“Succubus punch!”

“Succubus kick!”

“Take this, charm! Be entranced by my charm!”

“Become my slaves, stupid humans!”

The sight of squirrel and rabbit-sized succubi charging at them was quite cute.

Ordinary people might be different, but Lumian and Morghen possessed trained bodies and vast aura, so there was hardly any damage. Therefore, they could leisurely enjoy the creatures’ adorable actions.

However, this was definitely not what they had wanted.

Lumian, feeling deflated, looked at Morghen and said.

“Why are these things in such a state?”

“It seems they became much weaker while hiding in the hideout. They couldn’t absorb life force or magic for a long time while hiding…”

“Then… even if more succubi come out from behind, they’ll all look similar?”

“…Probably?”

“Sigh.”

Lumian, who let out a sigh, strongly drew up his aura.

Soon, a dense aura sword burst forth.

He swung it powerfully, sweeping away more than ten succubi in one strike.

“Kyaaaaa!”

“Kueeeng!”

“Hiiing!”

“To break free from my charm!”

“What tremendous mental strength for a human!”

“That virgin-looking guy…”

“He looks like he’s never done it, yet he can withstand my charm…”

‘These bitches?’

Lumian ground his teeth.

Seeing the succubi scratching at his nerves even while dying made him feel like his composure would break. Though he was someone with strong mental fortitude, this type of attack was quite damaging.

Sure enough, Morghen was looking at him and laughing.

Lumian frowned even more.

‘I need to become a Sword Master quickly so that guy can’t climb over me… Wait?’

Lumian, who had been moving forward, stopped in his tracks.

Seeing him close his eyes intently, Morghen asked a question.

“Why are you…”

“Wait. Just wait.”

Lumian raised his hand with his eyes still closed, making Morghen shut up.

With an extremely serious expression, he felt the flow of magic where the succubi had died.

And he could tell.

The magic generated by their deaths wasn’t staying in place, but was being sucked toward the end of the dungeon.

‘Someone is absorbing the magic!’

And that someone was probably the boss of this hideout.

He was certain.

Having finished his thoughts, Lumian’s eyes snapped open.

And he quickly moved forward.

“Let’s go.”

“Brother? Why are you suddenly like this?”

“Let’s just go.”

Lumian didn’t feel like explaining.

Since it was confirmed to be a succubus hideout, the boss was also likely to be a succubus.

That succubus was absorbing magic through the sacrifice of her subordinates.

The succubus strengthened this way would be reborn with a wonderful figure as he wished… These thoughts came to mind, but he felt slightly embarrassed to voice them.

‘I’ll just say it was a mistake.’

Making that resolution, Lumian quickened his pace even more.

During this time, dozens of succubi attacked, but it was useless. No one could stop Lumian now.

“That virgin bastard…”

“Die without ever experiencing it!”

“Ugly thing…”

All sorts of harsh words could be heard, but he ignored them.

His heart no longer hurt.

‘No matter how much these 2-head-tall creatures babble!’

Thinking of the proper succubus he would soon face, there was no damage at all!

“Uaaaah!”

Lumian finally arrived at what appeared to be the end of the dungeon.

After roaring loudly, he kicked the stone door.

With a crash, stone dust scattered. In the hazy vision, something resembling a human figure stood up.

“Human intruders. You are strong. But I have grown stronger through my subordinates’ sacrifice.”

A chilling voice that stimulated humanity’s primal fears.

Considerable dignity could be felt.

It seemed the original power was quite impressive too. Having absorbed even the residual magic left by the subordinates’ deaths, the aura was even more menacing.

‘My prediction was right.’

Lumian nodded his head.

However, despite being right in his thoughts, Lumian’s expression was far from good.

‘Damn it.’

In fact, he had sensed it from the moment he heard the boss’s voice.

But because of a slight possibility, he waited until the end. It won’t be, it won’t be. He repeated to himself inwardly.

But when the dust settled and the boss’s appearance was revealed, it completely shattered his hopes.

Morghen said.

“It’s incredibly big.”

“….”

It was true.

As Morghen said, the boss had something incredibly big. Up to this point, it was fine. Lumian had also hoped that whatever was attached to the boss’s body would be big.

But the fact that the hideout’s boss was not a succubus but a male-type demon clan member, an incubus.

The fact that the incredibly big thing was not breasts but a penis made his heart ache.

Swooooosh…

Even at this very moment, that guy’s penis was swelling.

The incubus had not yet fully absorbed all the magic power of the dead succubi.

Therefore, he was absorbing the remaining magic power in real time, and accordingly, both his penis and strength were gradually growing.

Lumian muttered with a dejected expression.

“To think that I’ve been nurturing a male demon bastard’s penis all this time….”

“What are you talking about?”

“Shut up.”

Lumian spat out harsh words.

Morghen closed his mouth without understanding.

He was also in a very bad mood since he couldn’t achieve his desired goal, but it couldn’t compare to Lumian’s anger.

Toward such him, the hideout’s boss, the incubus, spoke.

“You bastard, what shameless audacity. To make such an expression after slaughtering countless of my lovely subordinates. I should be the one getting angry….”

“….”

“How could you do such a thing? Is it because you’re a virgin? Because you’re an inexperienced boy, were you able to mercilessly cut down those cute children?”

The incubus, full of rage, slowly walked forward.

Then his massive thing swayed back and forth.

Seeing that, Lumian quietly said to Morghen.

“Morghen.”

“Yes?”

“This fight. Absolutely do not interfere.”

Whiiiiiing-!

With those words, Lumian closed his mouth. And he drew his expert aura sword.

Filled with tremendous anger, he charged forward powerfully.
