Inside the Cave of Obscenity-Vol 3 Chapter 7: Growth and Evolution (Bestiality?)

To a female scientist named Kara, it was an object of interest. It was a research material, it did not pose a threat to her, at least not mentally.

Her steps were light, even though she had just left the research tower and was about to face a monster, her mouth was slightly agape as she imagined the effects of the tool she had designed and created on her hip.

Her small frame and thin legs moved as lightly as though she were going on a picnic, but the sword at her hip made a heavy excellent sound.

White coat and long sword. Her unkempt chestnut hair, which reached her waist, and her large black-rimmed glasses, which were disproportionate to her small face, reflected the sunlight and completely hid her eyes.

She looked more like a child going to enjoy a long vacation than a researcher or a warrior.

With Kara in such a cheerful atmosphere, Jenna sighed, resisting the urge to say, "That's inappropriate".

"I've been sent by the bishop to kill the monster...... Are you sure you're coming with me, Kara?"

At first, she didn't question Kara's motivation as it was so natural, but by nature, Kara was someone who didn't need to fight the slime.

It would have been enough to secretly give Jenna the tool she was going to use and report if it worked.

But Kara responded to Jenna's question by shaking her head.

"I want to see the effect myself. Besides, there are a few things I'd like to get... and if something goes wrong, it's more likely that we could help each other."

"Well, that's true, but...... What do you want to get?"

She couldn't think of what it was, and then she looked at Kara's appearance―― short height, small breasts, and a long, mature white coat―― she rudely imagined that it would be some kind of sweet food.

"Are you imagining something strange?"

"No, I mean. I was just wondering if you wanted to eat something sweet."

"...No. Well, I do like sweets."

Without denying it, Kara cleared her throat.

"Not a single monster inhabits the area around Lishlua now―― all have been defeated by the warrior priests and the city is safe."

"Y-yeah. That's right."

It was a course of action to ensure the safety of the warrior priests, including Jenna, for more than ten years after the demon king was defeated.

Thanks to that massive hunt, which even considered the extinction of monsters, the ecosystem around Lishlua had completely changed.

With the monsters gone, the number of people increased, and at the same time, the number of animals increased.

Hunting had become safer, securing food had become easier, and the number of people had increased even more...... The total population on Lishlua, who numbered only a few thousand before, now numbered more than ten thousand.

As the world became more peaceful, the number of people increased, life became richer, and people who were accustomed to prosperity sought more―― that was the current state of Lishlua.

Even though they live a modest life and were just grateful for their daily sustenance, their daily lives were changing little by little...... A couple of years, their lives would probably be richer to a degree that Jenna herself would not notice.

And as she got used to that life, her days would pass without her noticing the changes......

Jenna thought that people would call such days "happy".

But Kara was looking for a kind of stimulation that she couldn't get from those "happy days".

"What I want, Jenna-sama, is a monster. I want a monster."

"...A monster?"

"To be precise, it's a living monster. I'm not talking about the kind of monster blood you get from who knows where to reverse the power of the goddess, but a living, active, fresh monster."

"You can't bring that inside the barrier of the holy kingdom......"

"Yes. But this time, the slime got inside the barrier. Through the human body."

Jenna understood what Kara was trying to say.

At the same time, she also sensed that there was a reason why Kara herself said that, but understood that it was a violation of the rules.

It was not that she was worried.

Right in front of her, near her, was something she wanted.

And in order to get it somehow "safely", she was working with Jenna.

That was why she was still talking about her purpose going out as though it was just small talk, while in her head she was desperately trying to figure out how she could get her hands on some "living slime".

......Kara was walking while talking to Jenna. Her line of sight was straight ahead and her tone was gentle. Her steps were light and she seemed calm.

However, even when she left the research tower on the outskirts of town and walked into the city, her gaze remained fixed on the road ahead.

It was proof that Kara was not looking at her surroundings.

Jenna let out a sigh as she observed the surroundings.

"It's dangerous if you don't focus in front of you."

"Oops."

When Jenna had said that, it was just at the moment when they passed a person.

Reacting to the voice, Kara quickly took a half step to the side to avoid colliding head-on with a father and son who were walking across the street.

Then she bumped into Jenna, but neither of them was hurt, and they parted ways, after apologizing.

"See, you're not looking ahead properly."

"...If Jenna-sama hadn't said that, we wouldn't have bumped into each other."

"That's the proof that you weren't looking ahead, isn't it?"

When she said that, Kara was unable to say anything back and fell silent.

When she was concentrating, she couldn't see what was going on around her. It was a bad habit of hers.

Her ability to concentrate may be a strong point, but concentrating to the point where she couldn't see what was going on around her in a crowded place was a nuisance to the people around her.

She called out to her to warn her about it, but she didn't expect to bump into her. Jenna felt bad too, and they both fell silent for a while.

"...Kara?"

But that thought only lasted for a while.

Kara was lost in thought again.

(Jeez.)

Letting out a sigh in her mind, she grasped the hem of Kara's lab coat with her right hand and guided her so that she would not bump into anyone passing by.

She looked like a mother caring for a restless child.

The unkempt-haired female scientist, oblivious to Jenna's kindness, walked through the city, hiding her eyes with her bangs.

As it was, they left the capital of Lishlua without paying any particular attention to the city and headed to the forest where the warrior priests had encountered the slime yesterday.

It was just before noon when they left the research tower, but the time was a little past noon now.

Jenna was hungry, so she picked up some wildflowers that were growing all over the forest and put them in her mouth.

The wildflowers had a slight sweetness to them.

It was edible, and although it looked bad, it didn't really bother her once she got used to it.

When she was traveling, she used to eat them to fill her stomach, but after she returned to the capital after defeating the Demon King and became known as the "Saint," she didn't get the chance to eat them anymore, but she never forgot that knowledge, no matter how many years pass.

As Jenna ate the unnamed wildflowers, she handed some of them to Kara.

"Oh, thank you."

She thanked her and took some of the wildflowers into her mouth.

"Not here, the slime."

"We are still in the barrier... Oh, by the way, what's that tool you brought? That liquid in the bottle. What is it?"

"Theoretically, it is a liquid that gives off a smell that attracts monsters. The smell is so thin that humans can't detect, but it worked for Lizardmen. Also yesterday, the apprentice was saved because...... her companion broke the bottle when she was attacked."

"Really?"

Jenna, who was not familiar with science, did not trust it, but if it saved people, then she could trust the "liquid that emits a smell that attracts monsters".

However, she was worried about entrusting her life to it.

"There are a few other things, what about those?"

"There's a liquid that disintegrates monster cells, and a liquid that explodes when thrown into the fire. There's also a liquid that gives off a smell that monsters hate..."

There were five test tubes on her waist. Kara gave a brief explanation as she took each of them in her hand.

For Jenna, who had been providing support as a healer, it was complicated to think that all of these were tools created by reversing the divine power of the Goddess, but for a priestess with no means of attack, it was reassuring to know that the liquid could be turned into a weapon simply by throwing it.

"In a manner of speaking, all the experiments have worked. The only thing left to do is to test them on actual living monsters. Though I'm not sure if it can be used in actual combat."

"You're with me this time because you want to test them, right?"

"Of course, I can't test it on humans."

"...You're making a big deal out of this."

"I know what I'm talking about. I do."

Kara said with a laugh, and they reached a river deep in the forest.

Of course, there were no slimes in the river inside the barrier.

Jenna and Kara quenched their thirst with the river water and headed downstream. Ordinary people couldn't see it―― it was just a flicker that Jenna, who could handle the power of the goddess where she was called a "saint," could barely see.

The goddess's barrier.

It was a sacred barrier that protected the entire city from the foot of the highest mountain on the continent.

"From here, we are going out of the barrier."

"Unh."

Even though she was about to be attacked by the slime, Kara didn't seem to be nervous.

And so does Jenna.

She walked out of the barrier without hesitation and looked back for a moment.

Leticia, a half-elf mage who could be considered the strongest in the world.

She was well aware of her former companion's abilities, and she knew how powerful the slime that defeated her was.

She was alert.

"Be careful. Kara."

"Yeah, I guess so."

Jenna said and grasped Kara's right hand.

A pale blue light spread from her right hand to her arm and then to her entire body.

"This should make you a little more resistant to the monster's poison."

"It's the first time I've had Jenna-sama cast a spell on me, but it's amazing. Normally, you have to chant, don't you, for this kind of thing?"

"You get used to it. You have to synchronize your mana with the other person and circulate it. Chanting is just a way to focus. Once you get used to it, it's easy to synchronize your mana if your mind wants to use it."

"Well, isn't there a recovery magic user who can reach that level of skill at the young age as Jenna?"

"Yeah―― I'm not proud of it, but Fonteau's Leticia wasn't good at healing magic. It seems she wasn't good at adapting to others because her mana was too strong."

"I see. Even if one's mana is too strong, it's still not good."

As Kara said that, a pale blue light enveloped Jenna's entire body.

Not only that, but Jenna was wearing a liquid-proof innerwear underneath her vestments, which meant that she was now resistant to the paralyzing poisons she had heard reports about as she could think of.

"Kara, under your clothes......"

"I have this."

As she said that, Kara explained the bottles on her hip, the four she had just taken, and there were five on her hip.

She picked up the last one.

"Antidote. You need to take it in advance, and it won't work until a while after you take it. Well, let's see if this will work against the monster's poison. I'm not sure I can fully test it this time, though, since Jenna-sama has her own magic."

She shook the test tube containing the light red liquid in front of her and sipped it at once.

"Ueeh... If it works, I need to improve the taste."

Jenna gave a dumbfounded look at Kara's frowning words.

The antidote―― if it didn't work, they would be attacked by the paralyzing poison that the refugees from Fonteau told her about.......

She felt that Kara's ability to manage herself was quite distorted when she tried to use such a highly uncertain tool.

Well, that goes for Jenna as well, who had just been covered with detoxifying magic and liquid impermeable innerwear but had not been able to confirm how effective they were.

They knew that they were relying on uncertain odds.

Jenna and Kara were looking for the slime near the barrier so that if something happened, they could escape inside immediately.

"Hmm, no sign of them."

She didn't know how bad it tasted―― it had been a little while since she swallowed the antidote, Kara said in a bitter, distorted voice, though her expression was hidden by her bangs and glasses.

She pulled up her bangs to wipe away the sweat that flow out, and what lay beneath it was a doll-like appearance.

The white, untanned skin and short stature made her look like a real high-class doll.

"You know, like I said before, you should really comb your hair and wear a ribbon or something. It's cute."

"......What? I am a peron who prioritizes experimentation over socializing and stays cooped up in her room all the time. That kind of person is not cute."

She must have really thought so.

She replied to Jenna's words with a hint of self-mockery in her voice.

There was no change in her expression, and Jenna could tell that she really meant it.

However, as Jenna said, Kara was as beautiful as Jenna, who was called the "saint", once she got her unkempt hair and sloppy clothes in order.

Many of the men in the research tower had a crush on Kara, and some had even approached her.

However, Kara herself did not understand her own beauty and felt ridiculed when she was told so.

The reason for that was not only that she was a "shut-in who likes to do research" as she said earlier, but also her body.

She was short in stature and had few fleshy limbs.

Her breasts were small, and her legs were short, but compared to her height, Kara's contrast was perfect, and everyone would agree that she was a beautiful woman or a beautiful girl, depending on their taste.

However, Jenna, who was a "beautiful woman" that she thought, was tall, had big breasts, and had long legs according to her height, which she felt was a complex.

At any rate, as she said before, she was a shut-in who liked to do research.

The only person who talked to Kara for reasons other than work was Jenna, who had discovered her talent, while the female employees in the research tower only talk about work.

They didn't care about Kara's adoption either, and in the twenty-three years she had lived, only Jenna and her parents have called Kara beautiful or pretty.

Even if the "beautiful" Jenna said she was cute, she didn't really think much about it...

"I've told you before, you should try dating a man."

"No... it's a hassle. Adjusting my schedule and current situation to someone else."

"Is that so? It can be fun. Caring for someone and being cared for by them. It's not a bad idea to spend some time together instead of alone."

"Well, Jenna-sama. You're on good terms with your husband."

While she was talking lightly, she paid attention to her surroundings.

There was no sign of the slime. But――.

"There it is."

It was Jenna who noticed it.

Perhaps it was because of her experience in her travels to defeat the demon king, but she still had an observant eye that could notice the slightest change if she concentrated, and Jenna raised her voice when she noticed a liquid on the leaves of the grass that was different from rain or mud.

Kara followed suit, bringing her face to the liquid.

When she put her face close to it, she smelled a strange odor that irritated the back of her nose.

Unlike rotten meat, it was a foreign substance that didn't belong in the natural world, especially in the forests near the holy kingdom of Lishlua, which could be considered a sanctuary.

"Is this a piece of the slime meat... I wonder if it's called meat, it's a liquid. A piece of liquid?"

"I don't care what it is―― it's been on there a long time, hasn't it? Since it's dry."

"Is it this morning? It's dried and hardened, but it doesn't seem to have completely solidified."

She touched the piece of slime with a branch she got nearby, but she couldn't get it off because it was dry and stuck to the grass.

Kara cut the blade of grass "just in case" and placed the slime pieces in the storage bottle she had brought with her.

"Is there anything else?"

"Let's search some."

After a few minutes of searching.

They found pieces of slime on grass leaves, tree trunks, and the ground, probably from the path the slime had taken.

It was blatant wreckage, but Jenna and Kara followed it and gradually moved away from the barrier.

Then a few more minutes.

Jenna felt that they had gotten too far away from the barrier, and called out to Kara.

"I think it's dangerous to go any further away from the barrier."

"Hmm... that's right."

At that point, Kara put her own safety before her own research.

She stopped and headed back towards the barrier.

The surrounding area was full of tall grasses, which completely hid Kara up to her waist.

The believers of the Goddess, who coexist with nature and care for the world, did not tamper with the nature that colored the world unless it was necessary.

In the depths of the forest was the world of beasts, while humans live in the open plains. In that way, man and beast could coexist in harmony.

That was the idea.

But.

"Is the slime in the depths of the forest...?"

"The beasts live there, don't they?"

The two wondered what to do.

The saint, who was used to traveling, and the female scientist, who was considered a genius with the sword, knew how dangerous it was to violate the beasts' territory in the forest.

If a monster that had destroyed a country was added to the mix, there was a good chance that they would be caught, unaware, and unable to do anything about it.

That was why.

"Okay, in that case, let's try this."

Kara accompanied Jenna back to the barrier and picked up one of the test tubes at her waist.

It was the liquid that gave off a smell that could attract monsters, as she explained to Jenna earlier.

Kara wet her index finger in her mouth and checked the direction of the wind.

Once she determined that the wind was blowing in the right direction, she opened the closed mouth of the bottle and dripped the liquid inside onto the ground.

Jenna sniffed.

"It really doesn't smell anything."

"I used "Hilia's Flower". It's a flower that upsets the senses of the beastmen, but mixed with the blood of Lizardman and the divine power of the goddess."

"The beastmen from Grabalt are going to be very angry at that potion."

"The Bishop told me as well. That's why the ingredients are only known to those in the research tower and have not been tested on the beastmen yet."

"……Okay."

As for Jenna, there was nothing more she could say.

Hilia's flower. It was not just a beautiful flower to humans and demi-humans, but it was a devilish flower that caused beastmen to fall into a powerful state of intoxication when they smell its scent due to their sensitive sense of smell.

It was forbidden in Grabaldt, so Fonteau and Lishlua were careful about handling them.

The potion that used it as an ingredient―― to use Kara's words, reversed the effect and made the monster intoxicated...... or even in heat?

(It seems a bit of a weird potion when you think about it, but if it can lure monsters, then let's not think about it right now.)

Jenna thought about that as she and Kara moved inside the barrier.

"Do you think they'll come?"

"Well. That's what we're going to test today."

(It's not an experiment, but......)

Kara asked the position of the barrier from Jenna and began to touch it with her finger.

However, it was a wall created by the goddess's divine power and not something that could be touched by human hands.

Jenna's eyes could see the wavy, shimmering wall of the barrier, but Kara couldn't see it.

"Here it comes."

Rustle*.

The grass in front of them shook slightly.

She thought it was a small animal from the small quality of the shaking, but what appeared was a small slime that was big enough for the tall Jenna to hold in her arms.

The color was gray, almost jet black. Its surface was gray, probably because the liquid that made it up was turbid, but the area around the center was as deep black as the darkness of night.

There, various foreign objects―― pebbles, branches, and leaves, and the remains of captured beasts were floating like stars.

It was horrifying, but the scene reminded her of the night sky of some distant world―― in a bad way, of course.

"Uu……"

Jenna held her mouth as she looked at the horrifying sight.

Even Kara, who had the opportunity to see the monster up close as part of her research, frowned slightly.

"Is this the slime that destroyed Fonteau?"

Kara muttered as she bent down and observed the slime up close through the barrier.

"This is, its going be hard to beat."

"Yeah."

It was not as a scientist, but as a swordswoman, Kara decided at a glance.

Jenna agreed with her.

The reason was simple.

The mucus that made up the slime was cloudy, making it difficult to tell where the monster's weak point, the "nucleus", was located.

An adventurer or warrior who had fought the slime in the past like Jenna or Kara or had researched it in a book would know that the liquid that made up a slime was normally transparent, or translucent in color.

The reason for it was that anything they took in was immediately dissolved and used as nourishment.

But this Black Ooze was different.

Perhaps it was because it could take in an infinite number of things, but Kara felt that the speed at which it dissolved each one was extremely slow.

"I've heard that the slime also uses magic."

"And also poison. Refugees from Fonteau are weakened by the paralyzing poison, and the men are taken in by it..."

"And the women......."

Kara slurred her words, as though she didn't want to use the words "rape" and "impregnate" as she was also a woman.

Anyway.

"This is my imagination, but I guess it can use the abilities of the person it has taken in to some extent."

"……Eh?"

"I've also heard from refugees that it started out as a normal slime that attacked livestock in a rural village."

Jenna had not heard that information.

No, it was her boss, the priest, who told her about the slime. They must have dismissed the origin of the slime as unnecessary information.

They were letting the saint, who had traveled with the hero, defeat the monster.

If she could defeat it easily, they could publicize it as an achievement of the Goddess' holy kingdom, a proof of the prestige of the temple, and the miracle of the Goddess.

If the saint Jenna was defeated, there would be no one popular enough to jeopardize their position.

Jenna felt that the bishops were thinking about that.

Even so, she had accepted the job, hoping that by going out to exterminate the monsters, they would be able to promise food and aid to the refugees.

(...haah)

"What's wrong?"

"No. So, how did it get magic when it started out as a normal slime...?"

"I think it took in a mage when it was in the process of growing up. Poisons, especially paralyzing poison and neurotoxins are self-defense mechanisms possessed by some insects and some plants also have poison. It would explain why the slime has several abilities―― well, it's just my imagination."

"How could you come up with that just glancing at it?......"

"Not a glance. It's something I've been thinking about ever since I got the report on the slime last night......"

Apparently, the slime was Kara's favorite subject to study.

When the slime moved to the place where the liquid based on the "Hilia's Flower" fell, it would not move from there.

The slime may get intoxicated, just as the beastmen would get intoxicated by the scent from the flower.

"Well―― I'm going to get out of here, so if anything happens to me, please help me. If you can't, run and get help."

"That's so sudden."

"Someone will have to get out and check, right? If the slime really experiences the same effect as the Hilia flower does to beastmen, well, maybe it's okay."

She wasn't sure about that part, but it was true that the slime had stopped its activity.

Jenna hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should be the one to go, but before she could say anything else, Kara stepped out of the barrier without hesitation.

She pulled out the sword on her hip and walked cautiously.

"Fuu."

First of all, she breathed a sigh of relief that the slime did not react when she stepped outside the barrier.

At the same time, she frowned at the strange smell of the slime that the barrier was probably blocking.

"I see, it smells. Some things haven't melted inside, so it's producing a considerable smell."

There was something else she noticed as well.

Although it stopped moving, it seemed to sense Kara's actions, and the surface wavered in the direction Kara moved.

The shape was not constant, and Kara felt that it was more like it was struggling to resist.

The fact that it still couldn't resist may be the effect of the potion she invented―― it may have the effect of luring the monster out and at the same time discouraging it from attacking.

(Fumu. After all, putting it to practice is good. I can see many things that I couldn't see before on the documents.)

Kara went on to poke the slime's mucus with the tip of her sword.

It was almost like putting a fork in a lump of tender meat.

She felt the weight on the tip of her sword, but the blade sank without resistance.

After a while, she twisted the sword to gouge out the slime liquid, but the slime did not react.

She doubted it even had a sense of pain in the first place―― the fact that it didn't fight back after all that was probably due to the effects of Kara's tools.

"……Are you okay?"

"...Looks like it."

Kara's own hands. She noticed that her hands, her palms, were wet with sweat.

She was nervous.

There was a monster in front of her, and she was sticking a sword at it.

(I don't know when it's going to fight back, so let's get this over with.)

Kara manipulated her sword to fish out the inside of the slime.

The bones and flesh of the beast, as well as the branches and leaves of the plant, that were not completely dissolved, were removed by the blade.

What she was looking for was the "nucleus" of the slime.

If she crush it, the slime would die―― but what Kara was looking for was the "living core of the slime".

(This situation will never happen again, right?)

Her heart raced with tension and excitement. Sweat trickled down her cheeks, soaking her flimsy blouse.

Monster cells.

They were indispensable for her experiments. Moreover, if they were from living monsters, they would be difficult to obtain in the world now that the Demon King had been defeated―― well, almost impossible.

I'll be able to get it soon.

"Kara, are you okay?"

"No problem."

After rummaging through the slime's liquid for a while, she found what she was looking for.

On the tip of her sword, she felt a hard object that resisted her attempts to move it.

She swallowed her saliva at the feeling, which was different from the melted bones of the beast she had removed several times.

"Don't move yet."

While saying that, she carefully removed the core from the slime's body with her sword.

"Fuu."

Her forehead was sweating and her heart was beating nervously as Kara wondered if she had ever been so nervous in an experiment before.

Still.

Kara wrapped the monster's "core," which had been removed from the slime and was lying on the floor, in a handkerchief she had taken out of her pocket.

"Okay. With this, I might be able to make a tool that will work against the slime."

"What about the leftover of that slime...... over there?"

"I'll do this."

After putting the handkerchief that wrapped the slime's core back in her pocket, Kara picked up one of the test tubes on her hip.

A bright, almost orange-colored liquid was dripped onto the remains of the slime that had lost its core.

It was a "liquid that destroys monster cells".

It was a liquid that contained the miracle of healing magic―― holy water mixed with monster blood to reverse the effect, a liquid that could be called a poisonous liquid for monsters.

(Last month, the corpse of a lizardman I obtained from a traveling merchant disintegrated when it came into contact with this poisonous holy water...)

When she sprinkled the liquid on it, the slime gradually disintegrated, just like the lizardman corpse she had seen before.

Gradually, the parts of the body that came into contact with the poisoned holy water began to dissolve, just like a sugar candy that was roasted and melted by heat.

In the end, it spread over the ground like a puddle.

"I see. This potion is effective enough."

"Yeah. Would it be better to prepare a lot of that potion than to shatter their core with a mace?"

"I can't. You need monster blood to make it, and the slime doesn't have blood."

"...haah."

"That's why I'm going to create a potion that is effective for this "nucleus"."

Then, Kara took the slime core wrapped in a handkerchief out of her pocket―― Jenna didn't know what she was thinking, but she put it in her mouth and went back inside the barrier.

"What are you!?"

"Ngh―― No, if its in the human body, can it pass the barrier? It was a gamble, but it was one I was willing to take."

"But that does not mean you should put the slime in your mouth......"

"It's just a "nucleus". It's powerless and it's wrapped in a handkerchief. This handkerchief also contains the antidote."

Jenna wanted to hold her head in her hands and wondered if that was the problem.

She was always amazed by Kara's willingness to put herself in danger for what she wanted, and she couldn't understand it.

However, as Kara said, it was also true that she had obtained the "core of a living monster".

(I wonder if people who can think like her would create a new era.)

She thought there might be a problem with that, but she didn't have time to discuss that right now.

"Then let's go back, Jenna-sama."

"...Okay."

In the meantime, having obtained what they needed, Jenna and Kara decided to return to the research tower.

From now on, she would test the effective potion, gather the necessary tools, and distribute them to the warrior priests――.

(It would take about a month to start the full-scale slime extermination.)

In the meantime, if she asked the bishops to distribute food to the refugees from Fonteau...... how many complaints would she get?

The thought made Jenna feel a little depressed, but it was more important to be prepared so that they could kill the monsters safely without sacrifice.

"Kara, how long will the potion take?"

"Well. If we can use existing medicines, then we can mass produce them, but I'm not sure about that yet."

As they left the scene, a number of "eyes" watched them from the grassy forest.

Staying still.

Without moving a muscle.

When the two voices slowly got quiet, and their backs were out of sight, the "thing" finally appeared.

It was four-legged.

Its pointed nose and ears were like those of a beast―― a wolf.

But its color was different.

Black. Gray.

......Above all, its body was a form of fluidity. There was not a single hair on its body, and it was a liquid body that glistened at the sun's rays.

It was a slime.

It should be a slime.

It was a thing that had a body similar to the thing that was melted by the potion that Kara dripped on earlier.

However, the body was like that of a beast.

It was a slime in a four-legged form.

A thing that had taken in countless beasts, understood their characteristics, and a form that overcame the "slow speed" of its movement on the ground.

It was no longer just a slime.

The word "mutation" didn't even begin to describe it: An evolution.

Just as organisms change their physical structure to adapt to their environment...... The slime was "evolving" into the best condition for this world.

It was one of them.

Yes, it was only one of the options.

Rustle*.

The thing that appeared next was a cow.

From the grass―― cats, rats, lizards...... and wild beings of all sizes appeared.

All of them were black. Gray.

They were slimes.

They didn't move by crawling on the ground.

Creatures that could run on the ground appeared.

They were staring at the goddess's barrier.

There were no cries.

They didn't have vocal cords―― but they do have some sort of communication.......

Not by voice. Not by action.

The original, the first slime that was still violating, impregnating, and multiplying with women somewhere in the world. The Black Ooze.

It was defeated by the hero's daughter but its existence and its genetic code were in a completely new vessel―― a new life born from the womb of the fairy, an excellent vessel in this land, deep in the ruins of Grabalt.

In order to combine with it.

In order to become one with its new body, as soon as possible, not even sparing a moment, in order to gain "further evolution".

The slimes continued to evolve.

They throw away their former shape.

The beast-shaped slimes left the land of Lishlua.

Just as humans gain knowledge and science, they grow.

Just like the fountain of wisdom called Kara created a "poison" against the slime.

......Each of the countless numbers of slimes would undergo its own "evolution".

Blood of the Hero.

Far away, in the land of Grabalt.

The "blood from deflowering" obtained from the hero's daughter had prompted a new "evolution" in the slime, in the monster――.

"It's amazing...... I've never seen slimes like this before."

The woman who saw it muttered frankly.

She was a beautiful woman.

She was tall and had long hair as beautiful as gold.

The woman wore a black triangular hat like a mage, a shirt with an open front, thick pants, and a robe over it.

Her body was so rich and seductive. Even with the support from her clothes and underwear, her ample breasts shook lustfully as she walked, and her upturned buttocks sway invitingly even through her thick pants.

The blonde mage―― Frederica Rene―― was more...... excited than terrified in the face of the slime's evolution she didn't know about.

Her breathing became erratic and her cheeks heated.

One of the reasons for that was her thick pants, which were making a sassy, dry sound, even though she should have just been standing there watching the evolved slimes.

Her legs unconsciously come together, rubbing against each other, as though to stimulate the pubic area underneath her underwear.

She had never been one to shy away from sexual activity, but even so, one would think that it was abnormal...... to go into heat in front of a monster.

But for Frederica, she was lacking in vigor right now.

At any rate, the Black Ooze that "owned" her had taken in the slime to Lishlua and learned the information about the Goddess' barrier and how to go inside it.

Yes.

As Kara tried, the slime could cross the barrier by passing through the human body.

That was why the slime was "there".

In Frederica's womb.

Inside her vagina.

In the deepest part of it―― the womb.

It's been a while since she left Grabalt, the land of beastmen. And it was there all the time.

It was only a few days, but during that time, Frederica was stimulated in her womb day and night, climaxing in the middle of the road and masturbating in the shadows of the grass to comfort herself.

It was embarrassing. It was humiliating.

The slime, which she should be able to burn with her fire magic, made her climax in the sun, in public, while she was sleeping.

Moreover, Frederica could no longer resist.

It was a pleasure she couldn't get from a human.

Surrounded by dozens and dozens of male cocks, her womb was constantly stimulated, and her clitoris was rubbed and unraveled regardless of whether she was in public or in conversation with someone.

The number of times Frederica had climaxed while hiding her convulsions and trembling voice during conversations was too many to count.

A beautiful female adventurer. She was a famous mage.

How many times had she climaxed in front of a man who knew her? Frederica, a well-known female mage from Fonteau, the land of magic, where elves that were good at magic lived.

And she felt so good that it made her dizzy and her head feel like an idiot―― there was no way Frederica, a woman, could resist the slime that gave it to her.

Even now...... the wolf-shaped slime was looking up at Frederica.

Remaining silent.

The eyes that reflect Frederica's beauty like crystal were staring, looking up at her.

Even though she should be tired from the long journey, Frederica gulped down her saliva.

Her breathing became uneven.

Sweat gushed out of her.

Her clothes were stained with sweat and mud. A dirty body.

The slime wanted it.

The mage's bodily fluids. A liquid imbued with mana.

"Ah……"

Frederica looked around with her last bit of reason.

She was concerned about being seen, but even if someone were to see her―― Frederica would only get even more excited.

She dropped her staff, the lifeline of a mage, to the ground and folded her hands in front of her stomach.

But the slime didn't move.

A wolf-shaped slime. Cats, rats, lizards―― many eyes reflected Frederica.

Her eyes that were supposed to show her strength were drooping and moist with tears even though nothing had been done yet.

In further excitement, she was breathing hard.

She was like a dog.

A bitch in heat.

Frederica hurriedly unfastened the belt clasp that held her pants in place, making a clinking sound as she did so.

Gravity pulled her pants down, revealing her beautiful skin, which must have been loosened many times now, that still looked good as snow.

Her black underwear was a stark contrast.

However, the crotch area was already dripping with love juice, and the golden pubic hair that matched her hair was slightly transparent.

"Hurry up......"

She expected to be violated by tentacles, as usual.

It was different from a human penis.

It was a long spear of flesh that would penetrate her womb. A spear of mucus.

She thought she was going to be violated by it, but before she knew it, Frederica was staring at the crotch of the wolf-shaped slime.

She couldn't take her eyes off it.

The fully erected cock of a beast.

It was different from humans, after all.

It was also different from the slime tentacles.

It was as thick as a child's wrist. It had an elevated bumpy neck that looked like it would pull out her internal organs.

In addition, unlike tentacles, they seem to be "very hard".

"Nghh..."

Frederica was supposed to be tired from the long trip, and she was supposed to start evolving the slime, but all she could see was the thick beast's manhood instead.

Other than that, she couldn't think of anything else.

She was supposed to be an adventurer...... who hunted and slaughtered countless monsters to make a living.

But the heat melted her strong beauty, and with tears in her drooping eyes, Frederica fell to her knees with her pants down to her knees.

She bent her waist to make it easier for the beast's cock to enter.

She was crawling on all fours―― the position of a beast. As her instinct made her do it.

Yes, she thought―― not from words, but from the mucus eyes that did not reflect its intentions, commanding her to do so.

In reality, it was not.

The wolf-shaped slime did not give any orders.

It was Frederica's instinct that made her feel that way.

It was Frederica herself who thought, "I want to be violated like a beast".

She exposed her rich buttocks, wrapped in black underwear, to the beast.

(It can't be helped.)

She lowered her eyes. The tears that had accumulated in her eyes spilled from the corners of her eyes.

The end of her life as an adventurer. She shed tears at the end of her life as a woman but was thrilled by the presence of the approaching beast, and anticipation swelled in her heart.

Her nipples, which had not been touched, hardened under her clothes and underwear of their own accord, rubbing against the fabric as gravity pulled her breasts down while on all fours. It was enough to make the tips of her breasts feel numb.

It was impossible to resist.

Once she was violated.

For hours, for days―― it would violate her and make her climax.

(I will be violated again.)

Her mind felt humiliated, but her body was even more excited, and her tongue unconsciously lustfully licked her lips.

Frederica had a habit of getting excited when she was teased.

The person herself was also unconsciously aware.

So whenever she was going to be violated, she always looked like she was forcing herself―― and yet her body was obedient.

Just by standing in front of the slime.

Just being hit by a tentacle.

Just with the smallest stimulation.

――It made her crotch wet.

“…………Hurry.”

Frederica slipped off her underwear with her fingers and exposed her crotch, which was wet with love juice.

She exposed her unkempt pubic hair from the long trip in front of the beast and she could feel her labia twitching with excitement.

Her sensitive peach-colored flesh touched the breeze, and that alone was enough to make her feel numb.

Here.

The mere thought of being pierced by a beast's thick spear of flesh made Frederica's womb overflow with love juice.

It turned out that the slime living inside her womb had taken in the love juices filled with mana from the female mage and grown.

Her lower abdomen tensed, and her womb was stretched from the inside.

The love juices that were pushed out leaked out through her vaginal canal, leaving a trail that looked like slugs had crawled from her thighs to her knees.

One size larger...... The stimulation got stronger and Frederica climaxed lightly, twitching not only her vaginal flesh but also her anus.

Intrinsic sexual intercourse.

The inside of her womb, which would never be developed by a human partner, was turned into a sexual zone.

It was irresistible―― comfortable.

"Ahhn... hurry, hurry..."

For a man who knew the female mage named Frederica, it would be an unbelievable sight.

She liked men, but she was a woman who kept her personal and professional life separate.

As an adventurer, she was a woman who was always trying not to lose to men.

She had the kind of beauty that would take the breath away of even the most seasoned warrior if he were to stare into her big, strong eyes.

And yet.

The current Frederica opened her legs to the monster, shed tears, drooled, and dripped with sweat.

She opened her slender fingers wide and grabbed her rich buttocks, exposing her anus.

"See, here―― in here"

Shaking her hips shallowly over and over again, Frederica made sure to show off her peach-colored opening.

If it weren't for the black triangular hat and staff, no one would know that the woman was a mage.

A crazy woman who took pleasure in being violated by monsters. She was no better than a common prostitute.

Normally, she could hold back with her last bit of reasoning, but without humans watching her, she became no better than a beast―― that was the Frederica right now.

She couldn't go against the slime.

If she were ordered to betray humanity, she would obey it no matter what...... A female slave.

The blonde female wiggled her hips from side to side as though inviting the man to penetrate her.

Her buttocks flexed, and she used both hands to expose not only her vaginal flesh but also her anus.

Her ample breasts crushed and distorted on the ground, and the stimulation from her nipples became stronger.

Frederica forgot what she felt and shook her upper body to stimulate her nipples herself.

Her buttocks swayed further from side to side in reaction, and her anus twitched and writhed.

"Haah, ahh... ahhn"

A high-pitched voice leaked out.

The sensation from her own buttocks. The slight pain from her fingernails. That pleasure――.

She was intoxicated by the stimulation from her nipples pressed against the ground, and a pink color fell over her thoughts.

At that point, it was already no use.

She was just a weak female who could not resist pleasure. That expression came out.

Her clothes and sweat-soaked cheeks were stained with mud, but she rubbed them against the ground and wagged her buttocks, just like a bitch.

There was no sense of reason, just a desperate attempt to get as much pleasure as possible.

What she was supposed to be doing had long since disappeared from her mind.

She waved her hips shallowly to lure the beast, the wolf-shaped slime's cock to satisfy Frederica's desire.

"Ah, ahh..."

Squelch*. There was a sound.

Her wet vagina was rubbed by an equally wet and slippery slime cock.

(It's completely different from the tentacles up until now.)

Frederica immediately noticed the difference.

It was hard. It was thick.

Not like the thick rope-like tentacles that rippled out to stimulate the entire vaginal flesh, but thick and hard―― a male meat spear.

That intimidating feeling. A sense of pressure.

It slid down the entrance of her vagina, rubbed its walls, and moved along Frederica's belly.

(L-long...)

The tip of the meat spear reached her navel, and Frederica imagined that her womb would be lifted up with her internal organs if it was pierced by such a thing.

She would even feel the pain if her womb was pried open without question and violently thrust upward.

Even though.

She was sure it must be very, very painful...

"......H-hurry up."

And yet, Frederica shook her hips, moving like a female enticing a male wolf.

The wolf-shaped slime placed its paws on Frederica's back and held her down.

Frederica, who had her cheeks and chest pressed against the ground, let out a strangled "gulp" at the pressure of being pressed down on them.

But.

"Haah, haah."

Her breathing became erratic with excitement, her cheeks reddened, and her love juices flowed from her crotch in strings.

The white sticky love juice was proof that Frederica was really feeling it.

The woman who had been a veteran mage climaxed many times in small, shallow movements, even though her breasts had not been squeezed or played with.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

The wolf-shaped slime pulled back its hips.

The spear of flesh below her navel finally made its way to the entrance of her vagina.

The atmosphere alone made Frederica's ample buttocks quiver with excitement.

(Hurry, hurry.)

The humiliation of being violated by a monster and the goals she had to achieve was completely erased from her mind.

Now it was just that, it couldn't be a human. It couldn't be a beast.

Monster...... The only thing she wanted was the pleasure that only the Black Ooze could give her.

With a hint of love in her eyes, Frederica rubbed her head against the ground and pleaded with the abominable monster.

"Put it in, please..."

It was doubtful that it understood her words, but at the same time, the wolf-shaped slime roughly thrust the meat spear as thick as a child's wrist into Frederica's womb.

"Ah, kah... hii..."

With her face scraped against the ground, Frederica's eyes widened and her consciousness flickered with the pain as though her internal organs were being pushed upward.

She couldn't think of anything.

It was just painful.

In spite of that, the fleshy lower half of Frederica's body spasmed uncontrollably and squirted vigorously from her urethra.

The thick pants that were down to her knees were soaked, though it was not enough to make a small puddle on the ground.

Every time her lower body spasmed, the squirt would splash out, even soaking the legs of the wolf-shaped slime.

Without worrying about such things, the wolf-shaped slime dexterously pressed Frederica to the ground, perhaps thinking that the female mage's convulsions were a hindrance.

"Hii, hiii!?"

Frederica, who was feeling the pain in her head, went half-crazy as her body was subconsciously held down in an attempt to escape.

(I'm dying!? My, My womb... My womb is lifted!?)

Of course, that was not the case.

However, the fact that the spear of flesh that pierced Frederica's womb was thicker and harder than any human cock or tentacle that had ever penetrated her was engraved in the back of her mind...... and in the soul of the woman named Frederica.

Her vaginal flesh had loosened up from being violated by the tentacles almost daily, but now it was being pushed even further apart with a more deadly weapon, and the intense sensation of being pushed up not only to her womb but also at the top of it was as pleasurable as it was painful.

The reason for the confusion was that Frederica's brain could not recognize it as pleasure.

"Hiiiii!?"

Without paying any attention to Frederica's fear, the thick meat spear was now pulled out.

The bumpy neck of its glans was caught in her vaginal entrance, and it emerged to the base of the glans, covered with overflowing love juice to protect itself.

"Haah, haah, haah"

Frederica was desperately taking in oxygen, breathing hard like a dog.

"Igyiiii!?"

It was inserted again.

The thick glans pushed open the vaginal walls, unused to the beast's cock, and easily broke through the womb.

It also penetrated the deepest part of her womb.

"Hiiiiyaaah!?"

It was pulled out again.

The beast's cock seemed to be thickening, though only slightly, as it absorbed Frederica's love juices.

Of course, Frederica, who was lying on the ground, didn't notice.

There was no way she could notice that the more she felt, the thicker its cock became.

"Ahhhhyaaaahh..."

It was no longer a scream, but more of a bellow.

Even Frederica, who was used to the elaborate movements of the slime, almost lost consciousness from the insertion of the unbelievable mass, and her eyes were completely blank.

Her face rose and fell with the force of insertion, smearing her sweat-drenched beauty with dirt.

"Ahhh, haaa―― aahhh, yaaahh..."

The pleasure that Frederica wanted―― now, was more than she wanted and completely cut off the beautiful mage's consciousness.

The black triangular hat that had been moved slightly by the force of the shaking hid her miserable, blank-eyed beauty, and the forest echoed with Frederica's muffled, captivating voice and the noise from her love juice and slime mucus that mixed by the insertion.

For the slime, it was only for preparation.

It was just a necessary act.

So long as Frederica didn't die, it didn't matter what state she was in.

It was the instinct of the monster to gain as much mana as possible―― the sexual desire that developed after taking in the blood of the hero was not the same as before.

"Hii, hiiii..."

The act of sharing mana with the slime inside Frederica's womb.

The idea was to give the child as much mana as possible and to give it power once it got inside the barrier.

That was all there was to it.

That was why Frederica was thoroughly violated until she temporarily lost her mana.

She climaxed, passed out, woke up, and climaxed again......

"For-forgive me―― I can't, I can't anymore..."

When she woke up for the third time, Frederica desperately pleaded while holding the meat spear with her hands as it was still lodged in her womb.

Tears were streaming from her eyes, her beautiful face was covered in sweat and mud, and she was even drooling and sniffling as she pleaded desperately.

However.

"No, nooo... I can't, anymore. Any futher, die, I'm going to die!?"

The slime knew that it was not true.

After all, it was the slime that had been slowly violating the woman for several days.

It was the slime's parent, the Black Ooze.

It had the knowledge.

That was why It know about it.

It had only been a few hours. Less than half a day.

And It knew that Frederica's mana would not drain at that level.

"I can't do it, mercy, mercy―― help, help."

Frederica thrust her ass out like a beast and climaxed as she shook her lower body, still wearing her black underwear, asking for help.

(Mana, my mana is going out―― the child in my stomach is sucking it out――!?)

The sensation of having her mana drained from her core.

She had felt the slime's ability to absorb mana many times before.

It was―― addictive.

It was not just about climaxing and losing consciousness. It was a feeling that was normally impossible, a feeling of something important slipping away from the deepest part of her body.

From her womb. From her nipples. From her lips. From her tongue.

From every sensitive place in her body, from every possible place, her mana was slipping away. It was being sucked out.

Numb from the tips of her limbs, her whole body stopped working.

It was more amazing than a climax, it was deeper, it felt like she was going up to "somewhere", it felt like she was falling... she didn't understand, but it felt really good...

(Ah)

"Ah..."

Frederica fainted four times.

"――, ――ah, hii――"

Still, "as usual" the wolf-shaped slime did not stop.

Until Frederica's mana was empty.

Until the child inside her body absorbed all that power.

Make her climax. Make her climax. Make her climax.

Take away all of her mana.

Until it was empty. Even if Frederica screamed from the addictive pleasure. Even if she asked for help. Even when she begged. Even when she got down on her knees. ――No matter how much she pledged her allegiance.

The Black Ooze was a monster.

Human words were unnecessary for monsters.

Just.

An obstructive barrier in front of it.

Within it, there was prey. There was a woman. A mother.

――In order to get it.

Frederica squirted.

The squirt was no longer vigorous, and it made a pitiful chittering sound, making the puddle on the ground bigger.

It was what would happen to female mages.

It was a life of being violated, kept, and used by the Black Ooze.
