113 – Liberation – 4
Green poison fog. It was a technique similar to the symbol of Circe, commander of the 2nd Corps of the Demon King’s Army.
Its power is powerful, but the biggest thing is that in this world where there is no magic to remove abnormal conditions, the means to counter it are very limited. Without Aria, there were clear limits to fighting as priests and nuns.
“Ki, hihi. Hit, kick.”
Circe laughed in a hoarse voice from behind the poisonous fog that was spreading and corroding the walls and floor.
The laughing sound, facial expressions, and bright red tentacles protruding from the mouth combined to create a very bizarre scene. It seemed even more so because of the green that half-engulfed the concourse.
“Run! Hurry!”
The succubi, who probably knew the power of that fog better than anyone else, were confused and ran behind the ship. However, the person closest to the front door was swept away by the green smoke before he had time to escape.
“aaah!”
With a tearing scream, the body began to melt. The succubus fell down on the floor. The substances that once made up the body turned into liquid and spread out like a puddle.
What was even more terrifying was the fact that the succubus was still alive, screaming even as her eyes rolled to the floor, her fingernails and toenails fell to the floor, and her entire body gradually dissolved.
The succubi who saw that terrible scene clung to the stairs and trembled.
“What are you doing? Don’t awaken the queen. Are we all going to die here?”
When I spoke calmly, everyone seemed to have finally come to their senses and grabbed Nika and dragged her up the stairs. A feeling of desperation was evident in every gesture.
“Ni, Nika! No! Queen! Come this way!”
“We can only survive if the queen awakens!”
“Hey, let go of this! Master! What about the owner?! “Master isn’t coming?!”
Even as Nika was half-lifted and dragged away, she somehow stretched out her hand toward me, but she could not overcome the power of the succubi, who were so high-class that a half-puni who had never even experienced s*xual intercourse was imprisoned here separately.
The body disappeared at the top of the stairs. When I was the only one left standing on the first floor, Circe burst out laughing.
“You’re not running away, are you? “To die, to die, to die?”
Soon, I too was swept away by the green fog. The tearful smile on his face grew even stronger, but it soon turned into embarrassment at the sight of me standing unharmed despite being swept away by the fog.
“How, how did he not die? Weird, strange?”
“Why. “It’s because it’s weaker than what I’ve experienced.”
She surrounded her body with mana, used body strengthening, and leapt forward. In just one leap, the distance narrowed to the point where I could swing my sword. Circe wasn’t even aware of my approach until then.
I swung Yeongwon diagonally. The blade penetrated into her left shoulder, splitting her body and protruding out of her left side. One step late, the smile completely disappeared from Circe’s face.
Clothes were cut along the line cut by the blade, and soon a diagonal solid line appeared on the skin. The upper body collapsed as if pulled by gravity. The upper body, cut in half, fell down on the carpet.
After confirming that the lower half of the body that was waddling had fallen over on its own, I used purification magic to clear the poisonous fog that filled the central hall.
The first floor, where the green fog had disappeared, was miserable. It looked like a ruin, with everything corroded, rotted, or melted.
‘Is that person already dead?’
Perhaps the poisonous fog also had some kind of life-extending function, and the succubus that was alive until I rushed in had already died, spouting blood bubbles.
Half of the body had melted to the point where the bones were visible, and the melted corpse water was spreading out like a puddle around the corpse. With a snap of his fingers, he burned the corpse and the entire puddle.
I didn’t feel sorry. If a succubus was high enough to be locked up in this castle, she would have sucked a lot of people, including humans.
“hehehe. Hi-Hi. Hi-Hi. Hi-Hi.”
“…… ?”
A burst of laughter was heard again. I turned around to see if he was still dead. Circe, with only her upper body remaining, was smiling strangely.
‘He wasn’t even alive in the first place.’
Circe’s body was filled with other things instead of the things that should normally be there.
Bright red tentacles protruding between the mouth and legs. It replaced the internal organs and flesh and densely filled the cut surface. In other words, it was as good as dead from the moment the tentacles filled it.
I grabbed eternity and stepped back. Creaking, Circe stood up.
“Quinn, should I take you? Mira, mi, mi, la cray, it. Found? Bring me? Bring me? Go? Kill me? Kill me?”
A crackling sound that was impossible to understand came out of his mouth. Now I understand why he talks like that. It was natural since he was in a state similar to half-undead.
Bright red tentacles overflowing from the cut surface connected the upper and lower bodies. The tentacle did not suture the skin, so the cut lines were still visible, but the body itself was functioning normally again.
“Kill me? Kill me? Kill me? Kill me? Kill me? Ki hee hee, hee hee, hee, hee.”
“You’re annoying.”
Flame surrounds eternity.
The white flame that had burned countless deaths so far burned brightly.
“Come in! Hurry!”
Cliona, the highest rank among the succubi imprisoned in the castle, ran to the very top room of the castle without even looking back. Dozens of succubi hurriedly followed her.
Most succubi much preferred other things to fighting, and along with that, they also had a very strong obsession with life.
In particular, if you guessed that you would never win, in most cases you would lose your fighting spirit even before fighting.
The only reason he had ever entered the battlefield was because one of the succubi that did not belong to the ‘most’ was Astaroth, and all succubi were queens who instinctively obeyed absolutely.
“It’s good that I brought you here, but how do I awaken her as a queen?”
The succubuses locked the door in a panic despite knowing that it was useless against the poisonous fog, and only after putting down Nika, who was struggling, saying that she had to return to her master, did they start to worry.
“…… I don’t know either.”
Cliona confessed honestly.
The inheritance of power takes place very secretly. When the current succubus queen and the next queen candidate enter a secret room together, what happens inside is the domain of just the two of them.
Furthermore, it had been almost a thousand years since the last succession, so Cliona had no choice but to really know nothing. There was no queen who wrote down or explained the process of her succession.
‘What does that male want to do to us? How do we know about the succession process!’
Cliona felt very wronged. She says she can get rid of the traitorous Astaroth and create a new Succubus Queen. If she had known how, she would have awakened her right there and then. It’s not that she didn’t do it, it’s that she didn’t do it.
I just acted like I was trying to be cautious, even though I knew I didn’t want to reveal my bottom line.

“Then are we going to die here? We can’t stop that poisonous fog…… There is nowhere to escape…….”
“Mr. Lee, you keep…… Huh, no. Let’s do everything we can for now. “You guys, how much time is left?”
“I wrote everything… ….”
“Me too.”
“There’s a little bit left, but it’s almost at the bottom.”
Cliona despaired once again at the fact that there was almost no vital energy left.
In fact, it was already a set procedure from the moment she was trapped here. She nailed it because the Demon King himself said that he would only provide a very small supply of vital energy after it ran out. The reason was that she might do something useless.
Moreover, her pleasure-seeking nature did not go anywhere, so even though she knew that it was a useless act of wasting energy, she even entangled herself and waited. There was no way she had anything left.
“Hey, half a penny…” … No, queen. Do you really know nothing? How to become queen?”
Clio In response to my question, Nica, who was sitting blankly on the floor, shook her head. Her despairing sighs could be heard from everywhere.
The last remaining hope is Banpoon, who has never been able to absorb power, but even he doesn’t know how to awaken the Queen’s power. Cliona’s eyes were about to close as she sensed her future.
“Huh?! What, what?!”
Everyone looked out the window in surprise rather than frustration at the dark shadow that suddenly appeared in the room.
A huge white flame was rising outside.
Not only the windows, but even the marble that made up the castle could not hold out for long and melted. Immediately a craze broke out. The succubi near the window screamed and ran to the other side.
The white flame melted 1/3 of the room in just a few seconds and then dispersed into the air. The succubi, who were almost swept away by the heat, smoothed their reddened skin and cried and questioned at the same time.
“What on earth just happened?”
“I don’t know either…… Circe doesn’t use magic like this…….”
“Isn’t there only Circe or that male human?”
“That’s ridiculous. What power do humans have? Not even that sword saint.”
“No, think about it carefully. This is the place where the Demon King himself created a barrier. “Are you saying you’re a male who entered that place alone?”
Everyone opened their eyes wide.
It was like that. This castle was a prison managed by the Demon King himself by setting up a barrier. The fact that he calmly invaded such a place was proof enough that he was a man of great skill.
At that moment, a thought passed through the minds of the succubi at the same time.
“…… Then wouldn’t there be a lot of Jeonggi and it would be very delicious?”
“…… !!!!!”
Everyone was shaking as if they had been struck by lightning. Someone swallowed their saliva.
While I was struggling due to lack of energy and pleasure, the best food came to me on my own. My uterus, which had been extremely starved, was throbbing.
“You guys have no pride…… ? I’m going to spread my legs to the guy who treated us like such fools…… ?!”
Cliona scolded, but no one listened properly. Even the person who said those words had a heated voice and was rubbing her thighs repeatedly. She couldn’t possibly be convincing.
The succubi, who had been so hungry that they had erased all fear from their minds, began discussing how to seduce the human.
“… ….”
In the midst of such lewd and lascivious desire blooming, Nika quietly raised her body.
