"As expected. Proceed according to the plan."
The moment Kang Myungjin finished speaking, we leaped out of the window, not down, but up onto the roof.
I peered down, observing the vampire-transformed residents.
Their ears had sharpened to points, their eyes glowed crimson, and their pale skin remained unchanged, while their fangs had elongated to reach their chins.
"Sung Yujin, I'm counting on you."
"Don't worry."
Kang Myungjin, Yu Inha, and Lee Minjung sprinted across the rooftops, growing more distant with each stride. They would infiltrate the castle through the rear gate.
Ju Seohyun, Yu Seohee, and I would engage the vampires head-on, entering through the main gate. We were essentially acting as bait.
Noticing that some vampires were trying to follow Kang Myungjin's group, I smashed the roof with my fist, creating wooden shards that I hurled at them.
The vampires struck by the shards turned to glare at me.
"Kaaaaaaah!"
They roared and charged at me wildly, looking no different from mindless beasts.
"They're like zombies," I muttered, kicking the head of one climbing the wall and sending it crashing to the ground. These vampires' physical abilities weren't particularly impressive at most, they were slightly stronger than wild boars, far weaker than true predators like tigers or lions.
In a one-on-one fight, that is.
What made them troublesome was their relentless, indiscriminate group attacks.
"They're coming up fast. We need to move before dozens of them swarm us at once," Ju Seohyun said, deflecting vampires with her sword sheath. Whether because of Kang Myungjin's order not to kill them, she was striking their bodies instead of their heads.
"Eek!"
In contrast, Yu Seohee ruthlessly kicked a vampire's head. Though she screamed with each blow, her feet moved relentlessly.
"Let's go, Seohee."
"Yes!"
Seohee clung to me. I gripped her waist and leaped to the adjacent rooftop, moving in the opposite direction from where Kang Myungjin had gone. Ju Seohyun followed close behind.
"Kaaaargh!"
A pale arm suddenly shot out from beneath the roof, grabbing my leg. Before the vampire's sharp claws could dig in, I unleashed Thunderbolt.
Crackling!
The vampire's body burst into flames under the Thunderbolt's electric current, collapsing and burning.
As I leaped to another rooftop, I glanced back to see the house ablaze against the night sky.
Soon after, we reached the castle entrance without encountering any major threats.
"Sung Yujin, you didn't have to kill him. With your power, you could have easily brushed him aside," Ju Seohyun said, glaring at me. I grinned and stepped closer, and when she gave me a tight, reluctant nod, I reached out to firmly grasp her large breasts.
"Ugh...!"
"It doesn't matter if they're weak or strong. What matters is that they harbored murderous intent toward me."
"Kang Myungjin told you not to kill him."
"To be precise, Kang Myungjin said to avoid killing him if possible."
Tear.
Ju Seohyun, flushed and breathing unevenly, tugged the torn portion of her top aside, revealing her right breast encased in the mesh bra she had agreed to wear. At her quiet nod, I tore through the bra, revealing a large, teardrop-shaped breast, its pale skin gleaming. I rolled her still-soft nipple between my fingers as I spoke.
"No matter what you say, keep your hands off me for now. So don't waste your breath on pointless words. It'll only make things more troublesome for both of us. And don't forget that you're here because you chose to stay by my side. If you ever want it, I'd fuck you in front of hundreds of vampires."
I meant it.
Though I had a mission, Kang Myungjin from the original work had conquered this territory almost single-handedly. This meant I could slack off a bit without consequence.
"Ugh... A-alright," Ju Seohyun replied, her face flushed crimson. But I wasn't satisfied.
"You still don't seem to understand. What am I to you?"
Knowing what I wanted, Ju Seohyun's eyes darted around nervously. Yu Seohee was watching nearby, and the sound of approaching Vampires echoed from the distance. We couldn't afford to waste any more time.
Finally, Ju Seohyun squeezed her eyes shut and blurted out, "I am... Sung Yujin's... woman..."
"Good girl," I said, stepping to her left. I wrapped my right arm around her shoulder and, when she leaned into me, began fondling her exposed breast.
"Mr. Sung Yujin! I'm... I'm your woman too!"
"Of course you are. You're my woman."
Yu Seohee clung to my left side. I wrapped my left arm around her shoulders, and when she pressed closer, I slipped my hand inside her clothes to fondle her breasts.
She wasn't wearing a bra.
"Aang!"
"Ugh..."
This must be what they mean by "having flowers in both hands."
I contentedly kneaded their breasts as I walked toward the castle entrance.
"Kyyyaaaaaaah!"
Vampires screamed and charged from behind, but it was too late. I kicked the castle gate with all my might.
With a deafening roar, the gate swung open, and a crimson mist billowed outward.
You have come into contact with the Blood Mist.
All stats have decreased by 5%.
Stats will continue to decrease over time.
Ignoring the notification, I stepped into the castle, the red mist obscuring my vision.
The vampires couldn't follow us into the castle. They kept a meter's distance from the gate, staring at the fortress as if afraid of something.
You are growing accustomed to the Blood Mist.
All stats have decreased by 10%.
Stats will continue to decrease over time.
The Red Mist seemed to fade.
No, that wasn't quite right. The mist itself remained unchanged. It was merely our eyes adapting, making it appear fainter.
"What is this mist? A curse...?" Ju Seohyun asked nervously, her hand resting on the sword hilt at her waist.
"It's not a curse or magic," Yu Seohee replied. "It's likely a Skill or... a natural phenomenon."
Yu Seohee claimed to have learned magic from a retired Magician, and she seemed to possess a decent grasp of the basics.
Yu Seohee is right. This is the power of the False God, which is closer to a Skill than anything else.
We don't need to worry about the Red Mist. Kang Myungjin will handle it.
By now, Kang Myungjin and his men have probably infiltrated the castle quietly and secretly.
We walked toward the castle visible beyond the Red Mist.
"Fresh humans."
A voice greeted us as soon as we stepped through the main gate.
It was a man draped in a black cloak. His face was deathly pale, his ears pointed, and his eyes glowed crimson like blood. His neatly styled hair was a vivid red.
A vampire lord.
Unlike the feral vampires outside, this one was a high-ranking vampire.
I nudged Ju Seohyun forward.
"W-what?"
"You take him. You can handle a guy like this alone, right?"
"...I could kill someone like him in three minutes."
"Oh? Wanna bet?"
"...A bet?"
Ju Seohyun flinched in surprise.
Recently, Ju Seohyun had kept getting drawn into intimate dares with me under the guise of a bet. Her fierce competitive spirit wouldn't allow her to back down. Even if the bet was absurd, she couldn't bear the thought of running from me.
And Ju Seohyun had never once defeated me.
"You claimed you could kill him in three minutes... If you kill him in two, you win. If you fail, I win."
Ju Seohyun's eyes lit up. This was different from our usual sex bets.
"...Fine. What do I get if I win?"
"The chastity belt you agreed to wear comes off for a day. But if I win, you have to lick my toes while pleasuring yourself."
"Wait! That's completely unfair! Just one day?!"
"This isn't our usual bet. Take it or leave it."
Ju Seohyun gritted her teeth. But she soon accepted the challenge.
It wasn't hard to guess what she was thinking.
A different kind of bet than usual. And since it was a combat-related wager she was confident in, she must have believed she could win.
The fact that her opponent didn't seem particularly strong likely played a role as well.
"Is the story over?"
"Yes. You waited patiently."
"I'm not so heartless as to deny someone their final conversation. Though the content was truly arrogant, humans are inherently ignorant of their place, so I can understand it well enough."
I chuckled. For a pathetic mosquito who looked like he'd die with a single flick of my hand, his words were amusing.
Ju Seohyun drew her sword and stepped forward.
"My opponent is this girl... You fools never attack all at once. But... killing you one by one isn't so bad either."
The Vampire tightened its grip. A bone blade erupted from the back of its right hand.
Vampires can manipulate their nails, but they don't have the ability to control bone. That must be a Skill.
Red sword qi coalesced on the Vampire's blade, while white sword qi shimmered along Ju Seohyun's blade.
I used both hands to pull open Yu Seohee's clothes, and she eagerly helped me strip them away.
"Ah... ahh..."
Yu Seohee responded eagerly to my touch, letting out small moans. She buried her face in my neck, licking it as she used her other hand to strip off my pants and free my cock. Then, after removing her own pants, she rubbed my cock between her thighs before sliding it into her pussy.
Squish, squish.
The sound came from Yu Seohee's wet pussy.
"Are you perhaps a prostitute?"
The Vampire spoke to Ju Seohyun, and I chuckled at his words. Ju Seohyun's face twisted in disgust.
"Insulting me out of nowhere... You pretended to be a gentleman, but it was all an act? How filthy."
"Insult? I merely stated facts. If you're not a whore, why are you exposing one of your breasts?"
"..."
Ju Seohyun fell silent, having no retort. She knew any excuse would only make her look worse.
"And I can smell the scent of a rutting female and male semen on you. With my keen sense of smell, I can tell. You were in heat just moments ago. Did you want to mate with that man over there... the one currently mating with another woman?"
"That's a lie!"
Ju Seohyun charged forward, propelled by the Vampire. The Vampire leaped backward with such tremendous force that it soared five meters into the air, clinging upside down to the ceiling like a bat.
"Your blade is sharp. I prefer virgins to whores, but these days, we can't afford to be picky. I'll gladly settle for you."
The Vampire kicked off the ceiling and lunged at Ju Seohyun.
Clang!
In the dark castle, their crimson and white sword qi clashed.
"Ah, ahh...! Aaaah! Yes! Mr. Sung Yujin's cock... it's so good...!"
I watched the battle, swaying my hips, but Yu Seohee was completely focused on tasting my cock.
Squeeze, squeeze.
Her pussy clenched tightly, her vaginal walls wrapping around my cock like a rag being wrung out.
"Ugh."
I groaned softly, nearly coming less than a minute after entering her.
I'm not great at holding back, but even for me, less than a minute is a bit much.
Since becoming a succubus, Yu Seohee's pussy had been evolving daily.
The legendary pussy I most admired was Yuria's. But Yu Seohee's pussy was a masterpiece in a different sense.
It was a pussy that transcended the very concept of a pussy something entirely unlike an ordinary woman's.
It's practically a separate organism. A pussy that lives by consuming male semen...
I stopped thrusting, intending to catch my breath. But Yu Seohee's pussy had no intention of letting go of my cock. Though neither of us was moving, the Jillbyck walls pulsed violently, caressing my cock with relentless intensity.
I ended up ejaculating inside her. I hadn't intended to pull out, but her pussy gripped my cock so tightly it wouldn't let go.
Then I noticed the corners of Yu Seohee's mouth curling upward.
"...Does my cum taste good?"
"Yes. Mr. Sung Yujin's jizz is so delicious. The quantity... the consistency... Ah, it's driving me wild."
"When did you learn this technique?"
"Not long ago. I figured if I could enhance my body with Mana, why not my pussy too?"
"That should be impossible... Is this a Succubus ability?"
Of course, one ejaculation wouldn't kill my cock. I paused, about to thrust again.
Distracted by my own pleasure, I briefly looked away, only to see the battle between the vampire and Ju Seohyun nearing its end. The vampire had lost an arm, and Ju Seohyun was confidently preparing to deliver the final blow.
If this keeps up, I'll lose the bet.
I pulled the chastity belt remote from my pocket.
Vibration Rank 7: ON!
Wuuuuuuuuuuung! Wuuuungwuuuung!
"Haaah?!?"
The sword Ju Seohyun had been about to use to behead the vampire sliced harmlessly through the air. Seizing the opportunity, the vampire hastily retreated to create distance.
I lowered the vibration to Rank 2.
"Sung Yujin...!"
Ju Seohyun glared at me with murderous intent.
I gripped Yu Seohee's wide hips with one hand, swayed my waist, and said, "I never said I wouldn't interfere. By the way, there are only 20 seconds left."
