Chapter 40 - She Chose to Betray

"Damn it, it's a dead end!"

The hunters punched the wall at the end of the completely blocked passage. May, who'd insisted on finding a detour, trembled as if she'd committed a mortal sin.

"Th-this can't be..."

"Isn't there some other secret passage?!"

BANG, BANG BANG!

One hunter pounded the wall in frustration. But there was no response, and a wall was just a wall.

"Damn it, because of that bitch...!"

"Shut up! We'll assign blame later! Right now we need to go back!"

The chief drew a map in his head. If they hadn't taken a wrong turn in the middle, turning right twice immediately after exiting would definitely lead to the cavity.

"Maybe it chased us and went down another path! So—"

THUD!

Blood spurted from one hunter's crown. A small wind hole pierced his skull, and the chief's cheek stung for no reason.

"The elf...?"

"Oh, Lune, looks like you'll have to catch them all."

With heavy footsteps, the green monster appeared. The monster patted the elf's head, much smaller than itself, and pointed at another hunter.

"This time try hitting that woman's knee."

"Just a moment...!"

FWIP!!

The elf released her bowstring. Though no arrow was nocked, wind flew like an arrow and pierced the female hunter's knee.

"Ahhh!!"

The hunter screamed and collapsed. The monster clapped and rejoiced.

"Well done! Then now..."

"You monsters!"

The hunters raised their bows. The elf quickly drew her string and fired back.

THUD!

A hole opened in the hunter's throat. Two had been killed instantly, but excluding the one with an injured knee, seven hunters still capable of fighting remained.

"Shoot!"

The hunters' arrows left their strings. The elf read the arrows' trajectories with a cold face and tried to dodge, but the green monster blocked her path.

"Master?!"

The green monster directly shielded the elf. The chief cheered inwardly.

'Foolish bastard! Those arrows are poisoned—'

CLANG CLANG CLANG!

The arrows that touched the monster's skin fell away powerlessly. On the face protected by arms crossed in an X, they fell limply to the ground due to solid muscle, and the chief's poisoned arrow stuck into the bulging belly before bouncing off.

"Phew..."

"Master!"

"I'm fine. I deflected them."

The monster lowered its guard and rubbed its belly. It kept grimacing as if the spot hit by arrows stung.

"Ugh, annoying."

The monster pulled out the wooden arrow stuck between the folds of its lower belly and gripped it backward.

"Hup!"

With a short kiai, the monster threw the wooden arrow. With a low whistling sound, the wooden arrow flew like light and hit one hunter's bow precisely.

CLANG!

"Kuk?!"

"Where do you think you're aiming at Lune? Lune!"

FWIP!!

Lune drew her string again. The wind arrow flew straight and pierced the heart of the hunter whose bow had broken.

"Ugh, ahhh!!"

The hunters, stained with fear, began shooting arrows wildly.

But the monster just kept walking with only its face guarded, and the elf annoyingly hid behind that massive body and shot her bow at every opportunity without warning.

FWIP, FWIP!!

With each arrow shot, a life flew away.

"Th-this doesn't make sense..."

Even though elves showed no mercy in their hands against invaders who violated their territory, the sight of an elf serving a monster as master and ruthlessly hunting humans was a scene the chief's common sense couldn't accept.

"This is a dream... heheh..."

The chief would rather it be a dream. But the scene before his eyes wasn't a dream, and the monster stood before him in reality like a mountain.

"You're the bastard who set off the flash and ran earlier."

The monster grabbed the chief by the collar again. The chief gripped his bow and swung it roughly, striking the monster's wrist.

CRACK!

Despite swinging down as if to cut it off, far from breaking the wrist, the bow shattered.

The chief was dumbfounded at the bow that split with a cracking sound, and the monster knocked out the chief's consciousness by driving a fist into his stomach.

"Ah..."

The chief was slammed to the ground in his fading vision. His sideways tilted vision could only see May trembling on the ground.

'Sorry...'

"Hic, sob, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...!"

May was crying.

"I-I wanted to live... sob!"

'What does that—'

"Good work. May."

The monster lifted May up in one motion. May clung gently to the monster while shedding tears.

"Th-this..."

THUD.

The chief lost consciousness.

***

When the intercept system activated.

As soon as I learned invaders had appeared, I immediately returned to the cavity and woke May.

"I know you're already awake. If you don't get up, I'll show you to people while fucking you in front of them."

"Pl-please spare me that... sob."

May, who'd been pretending to be unconscious, woke up with tears. Even while tearing up, it was clear she was wondering how I'd noticed.

"You have two choices. Your village people have entered the dungeon to rescue you now."

Hope flashed in May's eyes for a moment before sinking.

"Right, they're weaker than you. Aren't they?"

"Sob!"

Combined they might be as strong as May, but May was a 3-star mage with a level as high as 47.

It was because it was me that I'd caught May easily—May alone could have taken down even a slimehole, let alone a slime dragon.

"So now you need to choose. Whether to live as a member of this dungeon, or become a prisoner with those foolish humans. You know what happens if you become a prisoner without me having to say it, right...?"

"Hik...!"

I grabbed May's hair and thrust it in front of my member. This was far more effective than threatening with sharpened nails or a blade.

"I don't ask much of you. Right. You just need to guide them well so the prisoners can't escape. Whether they completely destroy the dungeon and return alive, or rescue the already captured prisoners. Your mission is 'incitement.' Can you do it well?"

"Wh-what happens when I finish the mission?"

May showed an interested reaction, and I promised May sincerely.

"One night. If there are no other invaders for one night, I'll release you the next day. I promise."

"H-how can I believe that...!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me."

I immediately grabbed May's chest and lifted her, about to fuck her right there. May flailed her legs desperately and nodded her head vigorously.

"I'll do it! I'll do it, so please...!"

That's how May decided to betray her village people. Without knowing my seed had already entered her, May acted quite earnestly in her own way.

And back to the present.

May very "coincidentally" led the hunters to a dead end, and Lune and I very easily subdued the chief and hunters.

"May, thanks to you Lune was able to grow greatly."

Whether from the intercept or because the humans had lots of experience points, Lune had already hit level 20. Most of the other slimes also leveled up significantly, with some 1-star slimes even filling the max level of 15.

"Then let's go back to the cavity and clean up."

Because of the sudden appearance of invaders, there were far too many things to do.

Like upgrading the barracks, or the gacha I still hadn't filled today's quota for, or upgrading the summoning facility, or the slime dungeon grind.

'Plus there's quite a lot to organize from the intercept.'

Counting one by one, there were truly countless things. Maybe I'd have to push unimportant things to tomorrow, there were so many places needing attention.

"But there's one thing more important than that. Right?"

"Master...?"

Lune lowered her head slightly and looked up at me. We were still on our way back to the cavity, just passing the crossroads.

"I worked hard, right?"

"Of course."

She'd worked hard slaughtering slimes, and reaching level 20 by hunting humans was impressive. The system might think differently, but Lune was undoubtedly the top contributor this battle.

"Then, you see, Master."

Lune placed both hands on the dungeon wall and slightly stuck out her butt. Between the clothes that had melted after being covered once by a big slime in the slime sub-dungeon, Lune's slit peeked out.

"I'm so hungry... Aren't you thirsty, Master...?"

"Lune, May's here."

"Ugh, really...!"

Lune lifted and lowered her foot, urging me. As if thinking the tension from battle had released, honey was dripping heavily from Lune's lower half.

"True. You've been starving since this morning."

She hadn't eaten properly, only working, just filling her stomach with the slimehole's fluids. I gave an order to Hases, who'd already come out to greet me.

"Hases, there will be humans in front of the sub-dungeon door. Whether they're unconscious or corpses, throw them all into the cavity without missing a single one. Have Lime eat the dead ones, and tie the rest to the wall. Got it?"

Grrr.

Though it was a fairly long order, Hases understood at once. Then Hases looked around and kicked the side of a ghoul (★☆) lying on the ground to wake it up.

Kyeeek...

The ghoul got up from its spot like nothing happened. That bastard, I thought it got hit, but it was playing dead.

'Well, if it had, a notification would've come saying a subordinate died.'

Hases kicked the subordinate's shin threateningly, then sent the ghoul to the cavity. It was probably an errand to gather the ghouls.

Grrr.

Hases was watching May closely. It was watching without blinking to make sure May didn't interfere with the master's and Lune's deed.

'Fine by me.'

Thanks to that, I could focus entirely on my meal. Though Lune was conscious of having an audience, having already placed her hands on the wall, Lune was prepared.

Creak.

Rich honey flowed down the thighs of Lune, who'd matured somewhat after becoming a high elf. I swept my finger across her thigh and licked it with my tongue.

"It's gotten tastier."

"Hehe."

"Lune, can I wet my throat first?"

"As much as you want, haa...!"

Without further ado, I knelt at Lune's feet and buried my face.

The honey of Lune, who'd become a 2-star high elf, was getting sweeter and sweeter.

"Haa, haah..."

Far more love juice flowed stickily than when she was a 1-star elf. I roughly moved my tongue to taste Lune, and Lune panted with her head buried in the wall.

"Haa, Master..."

Lune's ears were redder than ever. Lune, who'd watched the harpies and men's intercourse nakedly, suddenly leaned her back against the wall and spread both arms toward me.

"I-if we do this, can't we copy that thing from earlier...?"

"You don't have wings."

"Hng..."

Lune pouted and scrunched her lips. Lune didn't have wings, but instead there was a wall to support Lune's back and my strength to support Lune from below.

"This works."

I pressed Lune against the wall, then slightly spread my legs in a squat position. Then I spread Lune's legs left and right, placing the underside of her thighs on top of my thighs.

"Oh... this works."

"Perfect fit, right?"

Tap tap. I rubbed the tip of my glans against Lune's vagina. Lune swallowed and moved her lips, clearly anticipating what would happen next.

"Hoo, hoo."

"Don't be nervous."

Since I'm more nervous. I silently nodded to Lune, and Lune also closed her eyes and placed her hands on my shoulders.

Creak.

The glans slowly spread the labia left and right and began to thrust its head inside. Despite becoming 2-star, it was still narrow and tight.

"Ugh, unngh..."

Lune grimaced in pain. Even just the glans entering seemed painful enough to tear, so I pulled back for a moment and extended my hand to Lune's lower half.

"Calm down. It's not in yet."

"Haah, haa, haah..."

So instead I inserted a finger. If at 1-star one finger felt packed full, now two fingers could barely enter and wiggle left and right slightly.

Creak, creak.

I slowly pushed my fingers inside like a penis. Fortunately, thanks to Lune's love juice filling her inner walls, the fingers safely entered, and a thin yet solid membrane brushed my fingernail.

"Haah?!"

"Wait a bit."

After confirming the maximum depth the fingers could enter, I stirred my fingers more leisurely than that depth to stimulate Lune.

"Haa, haaang!"

Lune climaxed, releasing her tide. Lune, who'd been heated to the limit, came quickly even from finger-play level stimulation.

Creak, creak.

"Ah, haa, hnnngh..."

Lune tried to suppress her moans by covering her mouth with her hand. Lune's thighs were glistening with love juice that had formed and fallen from her labia.

Splash. I loosened Lune's lower half enough to hear appropriate water sounds. This was sufficient.

"Lune."

I held Lune's back and laid her down very slowly toward the ground. Though Lune lay on the dirt floor, not even a bed, she was happy even with that and raised her legs toward me.

"Please do it...!"

"Alright."

I'd been waiting only for this moment. I aligned the tip of my heated member with Lune's vagina.

Creak.

The glans began to very slowly thrust its head between the parted slit.
