Volume 4, Chapter 12 – Mercenary Corps Annihilated
Some time has passed since the mercenaries entered the fourth floor.
They fought well against the traps and monsters set by Belle and Dahlia, but their destruction was only a matter of time.
Several tens of minutes later after the fall of their luggage carrier, their rear-guard mage was disabled by a tentacle monster with my pre-set commands while their vanguard was busy fighting a large number of slimes.
The mage that was restricted by the feelers was now at a loss. By this time, the tentacle monster should have fucked all the open holes in her body and making an incredible o-face.
The thieves, realizing that their mage has been captured, tried saving them, but they were caught in a trap, with their hands and feet buried in the wall, while their erogenous zones were violated with tools I specially created to please them.
Now that the middle and rear guards have been neutralized, it went easy after that.
With the lack of support, the formation crumbled and the vanguards were divided, making it easier for the slime horde to destroy each one of them.
The only one left standing is their captain Lorraine……
“This woman is really stubborn”
As Belle had said, even when alone, she still continued her conquest of the dungeon.
The slime swarm tried to break through her armor, but she cut them through with her stunning sword techniques.
We tried relying on traps, but pitfalls, stun traps, and those that incapacitate someone with a single hit, but they were all avoided.
I thought she might have a trap-detecting artifact like Evelyn used, but if it was so, then she should have avoided all the traps entirely.
What an incredible experience and intuition this girl have, particularly avoiding those dangerous traps just like that.
“Senpai! Is it really alright to allow her to reach up to this point!?”
“Don’t be so impatient. Look, it’s not that she had avoided all of the traps. Her physical strength too, should be deteriorated by now.”
I calmed down the panicking Elsie.
Her physical strength and her cognitive abilities should have dropped considerably due to previous battles with poison needles soaked with aphrodisiacs, upright tentacles and most importantly, slithering slimes.
In fact, by the time she finally broke through the end of the fourth floor, she was visibly less powerful than before.
“You thought they would be annihilated in their conquest on the fourth floor, it seems that you have taken them a bit too lightly. Since I was going to send some decent human resources in our future, I thought it would be nice to spice it up a little, and exceed Gilles’ expectations just a bit.”
“Huh, you don’t say”
Well, I should thank her a bit for they have been really good test subjects for our new dungeon.
If it were to stay like this, Lorraine will be exhausted should she accomplish her fifth-floor conquest, but the way she looked right now was like this floor was still pretty insignificant.
“What are you going to do?”
Bell looked at me incredulously.
“Just a little performance number for our dear visitor”
Besides, I’ll be a bit frustrated if I won’t have a chance being able to show off the dragon I have painstakingly made.
‘”Hmmmm? I knew that’s not all”
“Yeah, I’m gonna bring her to us if I’m pleased with her. In the first place, I gather around women for that reason”
I said so and left the room
I came to the boss room in the hidden passage we made during our renovation and waited for a while playing with the dragon. After a while, the door was opened, and someone entered the room. It was Lorraine.
Her body was filled with traces of hard battles all over that you could see in a glance how overworked she was.
Her sword is smeared with the bodily fluids of the tentacles and had its sharpness greatly reduced. Her splendid armor is now filled cracks and partially broken parts from the series of repeated tackles of slimes forcefully breaching it.
Her skin from parts not covered by her armor were red, but it wasn’t due to exercise. This was a result off repeated injections of aphrodisiacs that should now have spread throughout her whole body.
“This is……!?”
Lorraine, using her sword as a walking stick walked further in, and when her eyes met, even her suppressed feelings of wanting to copulate were forgotten due to how large her surprise was.
“It’s still the fifth floor, so why is there a dragon here!? And who are you?”
She stood with her trembling legs as she pointed her sword at my direction.
“You came at last, hired hand of the government. I am the master of this dungeon.”
Though I have prepared a lot of speeches to have end up with this welcoming line, was it too much for her?
When Lorraine heard that, she quickly rushed towards me, as if her trembling some time ago is nothing but a lie.
Though her speed wasn’t as fast as she used to be, it was still fast enough to defeat me, who wasn’t even a warrior.
However, the dragon that is waiting beside me is not just for decoration. It quickly responded as it covered me up with its huge body.
Lorraine’s entire blow was repelled entirely by the dragon’s scales, causing her to break her posture, and in retaliation, it swung its tail at her.
She flew and rolled several meters away on the floor.
“Good boi”
I pat the tip of the dragon’s nose to praise it, then head to the spot where Lorraine has fallen down.
At that moment, there was a clanging sound nearby.
“What do you want no- Oh, a new visitor? When things are just getting good…… May I know who you are?”
I thought it was Belle who came, but it was a robe-wearing woman whom I’m not familiar with.
No, she’s familiar. Yes, that’s right. It was the baggage carrier who was the first to fall into my trap, quite literally at that.
“Captain!? You we’re alright! Where is everyone else?”
The woman rushed to Lorraine and helped her get up.
“Gohogoho! S-sarah? The squad is no more. I’m the only one left”
“N-no way……”
I could hear the exchange between them, bit I’ve got a more important matter to deal with here. You can save your chit-chat for later okay?
“You there, Sarah, was it? How did you escape?”
The tools used to restrain the prisoners was made by me, and should be strong enough not to tear off even by Belle’s standards.
If she could escape from it just like that, then I just can’t leave her alone.
“Why do you have to tell on the likes of you?”
Sarah supported Lorraine as she said so.
How can this woman be so aggressive? Can’t she see the dragon in front of her?
This is too surreal. Is she just really a baggage carrier?
Well, fine. Looks like I have to make you say it the hard way. Go!”
I commanded the dragon to capture them.
The dragon gave an intimidating roar, shaking the place all over, then it moved forward.
“Captain, are you able to stand? Let’s escape.”
“I don’t think he would just let us go like that”
“It’s alright. I have borrowed this”
It seems that they were talking about something, but they’re running out of time.
The dragon stretched its arms towards them.
But at that crucial moment, a smokescreen burst out in the middle of both parties.
“A smoke bomb huh? Nice try, but the eyes of my dragon can’t be deceived just like that.”
The smokescreen may have blinded the eyes of my pal here, but the dragon can still scan the target by using its smell.
Also, if I blow the smoke off with its wings……
“What!?”
That moment, there was a lone shadow that ran through the smoke.
“Haaaaaaa!”
It was Sarah. Moreover, she’s naked.
And because of that impact, my judgement was delayed for a second.
“Dragon!”
I called back the dragon in panic.
In response to his lord’s words the dragon tried to fling Sarah with its tail, but Sarah deflected the said tail with her arm as a shield.
Naturally there was a sound of something breaking from her arm which was used to block the attack, but Sarah still seized the gap and tried to push me down.
However, that doesn’t meant I’ll just let her. I activated the artifact I have been waiting for to be used.
“Uaaah!?”
A shockwave was created between Sarah and me. This was the artifact version of the spell that was used by Belle.
Sarah, who’s expectation was ruined, fell without being able to stand.
“Y-you, guhh”
She still tried to get up, but she was restrained by the approaching dragon.
I checked the dragon once more, and in his one hand was the fainted Lorraine, wearing the robes Sarah had been wearing a while ago.
I see, the dragon was confused because there were two identical smells, so the baggage girl was able to go under his radar.
“You were almost there. But this is the end.”
I said as I stood near Sarah, looking down at her collapsed body.
However, the baggage girl still glared at me.
“I don’t like that look in your eyes”
This I can understand if the woman was able to put up a fight like Lorraine and Dahlia, but Sarah was no more than just a baggage carrier.
A powerless existence among excellent soldiers. Her current position reminded me of my previous life where I grew up under two excellent brothers.
Looks like what was once related to you doesn’t disappear that easily.
The scenes of my past life flowed inside my head.
From the happy days of my childhood, the scenes became more and more abject upon knowing the reality of life.
And Sarah, who still doesn’t lose the sight of light even though in the same situation, I find it really annoying.
“I decided. I’m going to deprave you”
I declared in front of Sarah’s eyes.
In a way, this might be a chance for her.
A chance to deprave Sarah of her current incomplete existence, an opportunity to make her a complete one, like the present me.
“I don’t care what will happen to me. However, please let everyone go”
“That’s fine by me”
And as if the final string has been cut, Sara lost her consciousness from the exhaustion.
I then healed her wounds with healing magic, then began walking away, holding Sarah in my arms.
And, while selecting what tools I would use on her in my mind from this time onwards, I left the boss room in peace.
