Lucys Strategy Route (4)

I pushed away the disturbing sight of Lucy shaking her hips like an inverted frog from my field of view.

My heart was pounding. It was a clear sign that my Battle Sense was kicking in.

Son of a bitch, did you plan this from the beginning?

Ugh, his unsightly thing was still dangling there. Cant unsee that now.

You just had to ruin the greatest moment of my life! Ill make you suffer as much as possible!

[Maybe its a good idea to run for your life. With both his horns fully grown, hes beyond your league.]

The number of horns in a demon is determined by the amount of mana they possess. If a demon has two large horns, it is at the level of an active Class B Hunter. Logically, it was a power difference that a normal student couldnt overcome.

Lets see about that.

My combat power couldnt be judged solely by the amount of mana.

[Battle Sense], [Vision Enhancement], and [Mana Sensitivity]these three abilities, though not visibly apparent, significantly boosted my combat capabilities.

Moreover, Felix seemed to have exhausted a substantial amount of mana. Likely used it once to cast the barrier, then again to put Lucy in that state, and more to create the magic circle.

Considering all that, I judged the situation should be manageable.

-

[Subquest received]

[Rescue Lucy Operation!]

[You have confronted the demon who kidnapped Lucy. Defeat Felix and rescue her!]

[Reward: All attributes increase by 1, Lucys affection greatly increases, and both health and mana are fully restored.]

The system window appeared before my eyes, and the rewards looked quite motivating.

Kkaaaaah!

Felixs face contorted in frustration. With an eerie sound, the androgynous blond boys body gradually grew larger.

[Watch out, his mana has doubled!]

Its fine

Grarrr Oh, Ill rip you apart and make you die in agony. Dont even think of dying peacefully!

Felixs androgynous face transformed into a repulsive one resembling a mix of orc and goblin. The once petite man swelled up, suddenly twice my height, fully transformed into a demon.

*Thump!*

My Battle Sense heightened even further. I remained calm and judged that I could handle this quite well. Although I sensed Felixs mana had more than doubled, I suspected this enhancement was temporary.

Graaarrrr!

Felix was burning through his own life force. Perhaps he was so furious about his disrupted time with Lucy that he was going all out from the start. He was exhaling life energy as if he could tear me apart and kill me at any moment.

Just hold on for 5 minutes. No, just 4 minutes.

[Hes definitely in an abnormal frenzy state. I want to help, but]

Stay still for now.

In truth, my mana capacity itself was below average. My combat power relied solely on my special perks and talents. I wasnt sure how weak Lilliana would be with lower mana than mine.

She probably wouldnt be much help in combat. Besides, its odd to expect someone whos just a money copier and not even a succubus to participate in a fight.

Ill finish it quickly! I wont hold back!

Felix couldnt control his strength and continued to unleash his momentum towards me. I activated my mana to assume a combat stance.

*Thunk!*

Soon, Felix forcefully squeezed out his bodys mana and charged at me, striking the ground with force. In the blink of an eye, he closed the distance and swung a mana-charged fist at me.

*Bam!*

*Crack!*

Reacting swiftly to his speed, I quickly deployed my Cotton Guard, but I was sent flying and slammed into the wall with my body encased in the Cotton Guard.

Damn That hurts like hell.

The shields surrounding me, the Cotton Guard, were as solid as a unique skill. Just by seeing Felixs left fist turning in an impossible direction upon impact, I knew it must have been severely damaged. But I hadnt anticipated the sheer physical force.

*Gasp.*

My chest hurt intensely, as if a rib had come out of place. Given the metallic taste in my mouth, it could be internal injuries.

*Grrraaah!*

Felix screamed in pain, forcefully straightening his fist that was bent at an angle greater than 90 degrees. Holding together completely shattered bones and tissues with mana consumed even more of his strength.

It seemed to be getting difficult for him to maintain his sanity as he oozed saliva from his bloodshot eyes and charged at me again.

Despite his fist being completely shattered, he still hadnt learned. He believed his attack worked because I got injured, but that was simply due to my lack of combat experience.

I thought Id be safe if I covered my entire body in the Cotton Guard. But I realized he only attacked from one direction. It should make it easier for me to counter.

I focused my mana in the direction Felix was coming from and turned the Cotton Guard into a solid wall.

*Bam!*

[Quest complete!]

Hueup!

Vigor surged through my whole body. I sprang up from lying as if dead, surprising Liliana, who was sitting down.

Thanks to you, we finished it. Liliana, thanks for your help.

I, um, its not like I didnt want to help! I was just keeping an eye out until the end. Dont get the wrong idea, you hear?!

Yeah, yeah, thanks.

Felix remained in the standing position as he met his demise.

I killed a person for the first time.

Of course, he was a gruesome demon, not exactly a person, but he had shown his human form, so it felt like I had seen him as a human at some point.

It was a somewhat strange feeling, but I didnt feel particularly sad or anything.

Oh, wait. This is not the time for that.

I rushed over to Lucy, who had been left alone since earlier.

Lucy was trembling, with almost no strength to even move her waist. Every few seconds, she convulsed, spurting tears. Her backside was almost like a puddle, making squelching sounds every time she shivered.

Haah, aaah

*Squelch, squelch*

This looks quite serious.

Huh, if we leave her like this, she might go insane.

Liliana, what did you say?

I understand it from watching her. It seems like shes under the influence of a severe estrus magic and cant relieve herself since shes tied up. It must be driving her crazy.

Lucy was shivering with her eyes rolled back. Now that my stamina and mana have recovered, I released the mana rope. But Lucy seemed to have no strength to soothe herself and only stuck out her tongue, quivering.

Can you reverse this estrus magic? With your magical skills, it should be possible. Just do it with the same technique when releasing the barrier.

Hold on a moment.

As I prepared to reverse the magic, a status window appeared before my eyes.

Heroine Status Window

[Lucy]

[Affection: 35]

[Lust: 97]

[Appetite: 35]

[Fatigue: 75]

Current Condition: Abnormal State (Estrus) The progress of the abnormal state is already too high. Reversing the magic now could leave lasting aftereffects on the body. The best solution is to inject male semen into the uterus. At this time, strong affection will be felt towards the first male she receives semen from.

What the fuck?

Normally, the status window appeared when I intended to see it, but now it popped up without my control.

There was no Current Condition before, and I had no idea what it meant, but it didnt seem to be harmful to me.

No way. If I reverse the estrus magic now, there might be aftereffects on her body.

I calmly explained the situation to Liliana.

What? How do you know that?

I can just tell by looking.

Despite defeating Felix, Lucy was still in danger.

There was no time to hesitate. Every second counted, so I quickly took off my pants without any hesitation.

Hey, hey! You said youre going to reverse the magic, why are you taking off your pants?!

No, I said I cant reverse it now!

Why cant you?! You can dispel the barrier in 10 seconds with your other magic!

I said there would be aftereffects!

Unbelievable! Youre taking off your pants and acting like youre a pure-hearted person?!

What is she saying?

I couldnt explain the status window, and it was frustrating. There really was no other choice. Lucy had to be injected with semen in her uterus right away.

It was the only way.

Lucy, Im sorry. Its all for your sake, so please bear with it for a while.

You pervert! Pretending to be innocent while in reality, youre just a sex maniac!

Liliana broke the mood and shouted.

For the love of God, just shut up! You crazy succubus!

*Hueup* *Heak* *Ahuk* *Hieuuueuk*

*Squelch, squelch*

The only sounds echoing in the basement were the squelching noises from Lucys puddle of arousal fluid.
