Volume 5 Chapter 8: Conclusion
The outside of the castle was just as large as the inside, with weeds growing in the area and the remains of the collapsed castle spread everywhere.
Through it all, Mariabelle ran.
With all her might. While looking around.
(Where⁉ Where did it go⁉)
She couldn't find the Black Ooze.
It was quite small when it escaped from the second floor. Mariabelle cried, Kara scolded her, and more time passed.
Wondered how much smaller it was now.
She didn't know if the nucleus was already exposed, or if it was just stuck in the rubble, unable to move.
(Don't let it escape, don't let it escape, never let it escape.)
Mariabelle ran according to her intuition.
It was an "intuition" that others would not trust easily, it was uncertain and hard to put into words, even for Mariabelle, but she was strangely sure of it and was able to surrender to it without hesitation.
The power of being the hero.
The holy sword, armor, and shield were given by the goddess Fasalina.
And the formless ability to "foresee". It was for the purpose of helping the hero and defeating monsters. Although she didn't understand the essence of it, Mariabelle instinctively understood its intent, and she pursued the Black Ooze.
Her goal was just around the corner.
The Black Ooze, which had lost most of the mucus it stored in a year since it was born, was no longer strong enough to kill another person, like when it was just born.
If she caught up and destroyed the "nucleus", that was the end of it...... Mariabelle had no other choice.
She didn't know if her sister survived and didn't know if her mother was safe.
All that was left was to defeat the monsters as a hero.
"Haah, haah."
Her breathing became uneven. Sweat appeared on her forehead.
No matter how much Mariabelle had, her stamina was not inexhaustible.
In particular, now that she had lost her sister and lost sight of the monster, it consumed even more energy due to impatience and tension.
Once she felt tired, her heart started racing and her breathing became more and more erratic.
"Here, hero-sama!!"
"Fenelieka-san⁉"
When she turned her gaze at the voice from above her, she saw Fenelieka, who was flying through the air using her wings, shouting in a distance.
"It escaped over there!"
"Thank you!! Did you see onee-sama⁉"
"No, I didn't..."
"Please look for her!! It seems... she had fallen to the first floor along with the debris!!"
"......Such a pain in the ass, jeez. So, is it okay for hero-sama to be alone?"
"Yes!! Definitely, I'll definitely defeat it."
"Hmm... I understand. Be careful."
Mariabelle told her and started running faster than before.
――Running, she wiped away her tears with the sleeve of her clothes.
(Don't worry, onee-sama is alive, and Fenelieka will find her―― that's why it's okay.)
As she told it to herself, she repeated it over and over in her mind, that "it was okay".
She remembered the fun life in the royal castle and the life that she spent with her family.
And the painful journey―― she was always next to her. The beautiful, gentle, and kind sister who supported her miserable sister.
(It's okay. Don't remind me.)
She was about to burst into tears. But she didn't stop running.
She run as fast as she could――.
"I found it!!"
The Black Ooze was crawling along the ground towards the royal capital. It no longer had time to change its form, and its shape was the same oval shape as that of a normal slime.
"Wait!!"
The Black Ooze was headed for a drainage ditch that led to the sewers. There was a grid of iron lids to prevent people from falling in, but they were meaningless to the mucus...... and shrunken Black Ooze.
It would escape―― or so she thought, and Mariabelle increased her speed.
The Black Ooze was slow. And Mariabelle quickly caught up with it―― while advancing through the stone pavement.
"This――⁉"
At the same moment, something wrapped around Mariabelle's left arm as she crushed the mucus.
It was a tentacle.
"Eh⁉"
Then she was lifted into the air at once.
Both of her feet left the ground, and she felt that she was floating―― immediately followed by a shock to her back. It took a few seconds for her to realize that she had been thrown.
"Wh, at......?"
There was almost no pain.
She was lucky to have fallen into the bushes. Or maybe the slime had thrown her there to protect the precious mother.
Either way.
Mariabelle's expression was tense.
The thing that threw her off was a giant slime the size of a two-story building. And it wasn't just one, they were coming from other directions.
"No..."
Before the battle with the Black Ooze. The giants that were coming towards the castle, were visible from the windows of the royal castle.
They had finally arrived at the royal castle.
"Don't get in the way."
Mariabelle held up the holy sword to check the slime.
She had the strength to fight.
The holy sword and the armor that prevented the poisons were effective, and even though she was grabbed, Mariabelle understood that her body was fine.
However――.
(――I've lost sight of it again...)
The impatience of losing sight of the Black Ooze made her unable to be wary of the lower-ranked slimes.
Even though there were slimes a short distance away, she looked around without caution.
It was not carelessness.
The only thing on Mariabelle's mind right now was to chase and defeat the Black Ooze.
"Don't get in the way."
She slashed away the tentacles that were coming towards her and looked for the direction in which she had been thrown.
The castle and the garden were her home. She knew the direction immediately. From there, she tried to remember where the drainage ditch was that led to the sewer.
"Kuh, this is⁉"
The tentacles grabbed her left arm again, as she was thinking about something else during the fight.
This time, she supported both her feet to keep her from being thrown away, but the slime had a different goal.
The slime used the mucus to soak into the inside of her hand armor and began to caress her skin directly through her clothes.
"Hii⁉ No, why⁉"
Mariabelle was unaware that her defenses had been weakened by the Black Ooze attack and the magic storm she was blocking.
It could prevent poisoning, but she couldn't prevent the stimulus from stroking and rubbing, which was not even an attack, and it allowed it to touch her skin.
"No⁉ I can't get stuck in a place like this...⁉"
However, while she was wondering whether to go after the Black Ooze or defeat the slimes first, the tentacles entangled both of her legs and entered through the gaps in her armor.
As expected, Mariabelle could not ignore it, and she swung the holy sword to cut through the tentacles and escape from her restraints.
"Kuh, no way⁉"
However, she could not cut through the mucus that had invaded the inside of her armor.
She had heard from Kara that mucus without a nucleus could quickly become incapacitated, but she did not know how quickly.
In the meantime, the mucus ascended up of her left arm and both legs and began to work.
――Mariabelle's cheeks turned red as she realized what was going to happen. The disgusting feeling of mucus crawling under her clothes made her feel the urge to wipe her skin right now.
But there was no way she was going to take off her armor and clothes when she was surrounded by slimes, so she pointed her sword at the giant slimes around her first, hoping to take them down, which had now grown to three.
(But if I don't finish it early, the slime...)
She couldn't hide her awareness that the Black Ooze will get away from her, and her attention was diverted from the slimes around her.
"Kuh."
What was more, she was in a situation where she had been careless by letting the slime caress her skin.
Although there was no paralyzing poison, the sensation was very hard to ignore, and it made her even more distracted.
Mariabelle looked around and first confirmed the direction of the Black Ooze.
Due to its slow movements, she guessed that its mucus gone with its "nucleus" exposed would not have escaped to the sewers yet.
In fact, the Black Ooze had yet to move more than a stone's throw away, and its progress was slow.
If she ran, she could make it in time., but――.
"Uu..."
The three giant slimes and the mucus crawling on her skin interrupted her thoughts.
In particular, a small amount of mucus that had gotten under her clothes was moving upward, and now it was on her shoulder and her knees.
It was clear where it was aiming.
The slime that violated women and humiliated them was making its way to Mariabelle's erogenous zones.
(That's... you...)
She hated it. She absolutely hated it.
Her instincts as a woman wanted to get rid of the mucus right now, which also interfered with her mission as a hero―― defeating the Black Ooze. She couldn't help it.
Even though people called her a hero, trusted her, and respected her, Mariabelle was still a woman. If her own body was being defiled, she couldn't pursue her mission alone.
(First, I must defeat these three slimes――)
She made up her mind and narrowed her eyes.
The heat receded from her shame-stained cheeks, and her hand grasping the holy sword strengthened.
She used her god-like speed in the first step. As she stepped for the second time, which didn't leave behind a sound, in an instant, she was in front of the slime.
It was huge, but Mariabelle could vaguely see the location of the nucleus.
Following her intuition, she swung out the holy sword and hit the first one.
Even though she was tired, she could still take on a mere slime, and the holy sword, emitting a pale light, sliced through the huge body without any resistance.
Then the second one. Then the same goes for the third one.
The slashes shattered their core and disintegrated.
"Fuu――."
However, the purpose of the slimes was to buy some time.
They were trying to protect their parent, the Black Ooze. They were not afraid of death because they know that as long as the Black Ooze survived, they would increase again.
In the first place, they didn't feel fear, so they were sacrificed from the beginning. They didn't even have the will to protect themselves.
The only thing they wanted to do was to keep their parent alive and stop the hero. Its instinctive action was to gather the giant slimes to Mariabelle and buy some time.
"Don't get in the way."
Mariabelle couldn't stand it.
It didn't matter how many slimes were swarming around her, but they take time.
The impatience that the Black Ooze would escape slowed her arms as she swung the sword and made her steps shallow.
Even so, Mariabelle put up a good fight.
In the end, she killed more than ten giant slimes and wiped the sweat from her forehead while breathing hard.
......The battle with the Black Ooze and then a series of battles with giant slimes. The impatience of the Black Ooze getting away from her caused her to lose her strength, her breathing became erratic...... and sweat flowed all over her body.
It was the perfect food for the slime that had burrowed underneath her clothes.
The mucus that had "no nucleus" that sucked the sweat of the hero increased its movement and finally reached her crotch and left nipple while Mariabelle was fighting more than ten slimes.
"Hyuu⁉"
She thought she had been bit.
There was no pain. The dull stimulus was weak, but it was a definite sexual sensation that slowed down the black-haired hero's legs.
"That's..."
She looked down at her own body wrapped in the hero's armor and black dress.
Feeling the strange sensation between her left breast and crotch... She realized that the mucus had moved there, and unpleasant sweat flowed on her spine.
(But I have to go after that slime...)
Mariabelle would not allow herself to stop.
For the sake of those who have sacrificed their lives on this day, she must at least destroy the slime that was the source of the problem and deal a blow to the army of slimes.
Otherwise...... the human race would not be able to resist the slime in the future.
It was where she needed to strike a blow. It was the reason why Kara sent Mariabelle out.
Even though――.
(Uu...)
She couldn't help but be concerned when she knew that there was a foreign object crawling around under her clothes.
Mariabelle unconsciously started running, covering her chest with her left hand over her armor. She was running for real, but her steps were noticeably slower than before, and her breathing quickly became erratic.
Her cheeks were red, her forehead, her cheeks, her entire body was sweating, and she felt her body temperature rising unnaturally.
(At a time like this, what am I doing.)
She felt like crying because she felt like such a pitiful woman as she was conscious of the slime sticking to her breasts and pubic area.
A lot of people were fighting, losing their lives, and putting their bodies in the line...... She was ashamed of herself, and her body was getting heavier.
It seemed inappropriate, and Mariabelle tried to get her bearings and start running.
However, the slime underneath her clothes seemed to sense the change in Mariabelle, when she tried to take a strong step forward, the slime rubbed up against her pubic area on her underwear as she easily defeated a dozen giant slimes. With that, the hero's legs become dull again.
The hero was a woman.
She felt embarrassed, and she couldn't help but feel the stimulation from her nipples and pubic area when she was rubbed.
Moreover, the stimulation was getting stronger and stronger.
The slime without a "nucleus" gained a little more strength as it sucked in Mariabelle's sweat, and it prioritized stalling Mariabelle over surviving.
In other words, it caressed the woman to slow her down.
The slime's usual methods of attack were effective against the country's strongest knight, Fiana, the continent's strongest beastmen, Fornelis, and the saint, Jenna...... among many other women.
"Kuh... no..."
Mariabelle, who had been running hard, breathing hard, let out a small cry.
Her left arm, which hid her breast over her armor, was straining, and her body bent forward slightly.
The slime that had enveloped the tip of her left breast, her nipple, began to boldly rub the entire areola and nipple with its mucus.
The slime's volume increased slightly due to the sweat it had absorbed, and it grew stronger with each passing moment.
Without a nucleus, it had a short life span, but it had the same behavior as other slimes.
It pleasured women and absorbed their bodily fluids to increase its power―― the same principle that deprived the mages of their mana.
The Black Ooze's desire for the hero's bodily fluids was the perfect food for the slime, and its power never stopped rising.
At the same time, its movements remain slow, as though it was nearing its limit.
Forcefully and slowly, her entire nipple and areola were rubbed and scraped.
"Haa, nhh......"
Mariabelle made a small sound and put all her strength into her left hand, which was trying to grip the slime over her armor.
Of course, the hero's armor was not going to break by its strength and it was impossible to crush the slime. Feeling the armor that had protected her until today as though it was a tormenting device, Mariabelle continued to move forward.
......The changes were also occurring in the lower half of her body.
The "non-nucleus" slime was not strong enough to penetrate her tightly closed pubic area, and could only rub her pubic area over her underwear.
However, once she was aware of the slime's presence, and she was learning to take pleasure in it, her clitoris naturally got erect on the hero's body, and a bulge appeared on her underwear, which was wet with sweat and mucus.
The mucus on the lower half of her body entangled itself with Mariabelle's clitoris from the top of her underwear.
"Hauun⁉"
A curt voice escaped, and her hips slumped awkwardly.
She managed to resist falling while gasping for air.
However, the mucus finally found a weak point in the woman's body, and now it began to focus on that area only.
The endless torment that all the women experienced, were forced by the mucus to her.
The only saving grace was that the slime was dying, and it seemed to be moving slowly, if not strongly.......
(At this level, I can still walk...)
In fact, she wanted to take off her armor and clothes and rip off the slime that clung to her skin right now, crush it, and make it disappear.
However, she still hadn't secured her surroundings yet or killed the Black Ooze.
If she was attacked when she took off her armor and clothes, no matter how strong Mariabelle was, she might be attacked unaware.
......She was forced to proceed with the mucus stuck under her clothes.
Knowing that, Mariabelle struggled to walk, her whole body feeling as though it was about to lose strength.
Defeat the Black Ooze.
Her only purpose was to eliminate the origin.
"Haah, haah..."
However, by the time she had taken ten steps, her breathing was erratic and her forehead was sweating so profusely that it reflected the sun's rays.
Naturally.
Moving forward while having her nipple and clitoris being tormented was more exhausting than she had imagined.
In addition, the mucus was not a machine with a constant rhythm, but a monster that changed its action according to Mariabelle's reaction.
It seemed that Mariabelle was more conscious and felt more pleasure when she was treated gently than when she was treated roughly.
Rather than pulling, scratching, and pushing hard on her nipples, her feet slowed down when she was gently rolled, stroked, rubbed, and licked like a tongue.
The same goes for her clitoris.
Mariabelle had the same weakness as the woman which felt more sensitive than their nipples, but her clitoris was too sensitive and seemed to be in pain, probably because she didn't usually masturbate much.
So, at first, it only stroked it from the top of her underwear, not rubbing or playing with it.
Slowly and gently, it rubbed and stroked it softly over and over again, and the mucus was careful not to touch it directly over her underwear.
As Mariabelle felt it, her entire body began to sweat, and a small amount of her love juices began to seep from her private parts.
The slime did not treat Mariabelle roughly even though it knew that it had no other choice but to wait for its death since it had "no nucleus".
Perhaps it was trying to absorb more of the hero's bodily fluids and somehow pass them on to its own kind, even if it meant dying itself.
"Haah, haah..."
Twitch*, Mariabelle's entire body stiffened and she stopped again.
No matter how many slimes were around, it was too slow of an advance...... Even though she thought so, she couldn't take off her armor and clothes.
Finally, she began to use the holy sword like a cane to support her body, and her legs had clung together and she walked weakly.
Still, she finally made it back to the drainage ditch where she had found the Black Ooze.
If she squinted her eyes, she could see that the dying Black Ooze had not yet escaped into the sewer and was still on the ground.
The "nucleus" was completely exposed and it was not possible to move on its own.
"I found it..."
A strong will―― anger lit up in Mariabelle's eyes.
The hateful enemy that took away the country where she lived, the royal castle, her mother...... and her sister. It made her forget for a moment the stimulation of the mucus that was caressing her limbs and made Mariabelle take a step forward.
Just as she was about to take ten more steps, her waist snapped again.
"Hahiii!?"
A shrill scream escaped from her mouth, and the expression of hatred on her face turned down against her will.
It was a complete surprise.
Her nipples, which had been developed before coming here, were pinched forcefully and the entire areola was pulled.
The only thing she could do was to let out a distracted squeal, and her steps suddenly became heavier.
In the lower part of her body, her clitoris, which had become so hard that one could see it even through her underwear, was pinched, and Mariabelle bucked and bent her body into a "<" shape.
"Wa, wa... it...⁉ Kuun⁉"
It was repeated two or three times.
Her hips that she had pushed behind her, convulsed, and she couldn't stand without the holy sword as a support.
Her nipples and clitoris, which had not been pleasured since she was violated at the ruins of the old temple in Grabalt, were rapidly being developed.
It was teaching the hero's body that it was "pleasure," and underneath her pants―― her black underwear that matched the color of her hair was soaked as though she had peed her underwear.
The slime without nucleus no longer had the ability to absorb her love juices and continued to make Mariabelle moan just to protect its parent...... the Black Ooze desperately.
Her nipples were handled more and more violently, and her clitoris was also roughly handled from the base to the tip, just like her nipples.
When her sensitive clitoris, which she still dread to touch, was worked up, it became surprisingly red and thick and was literally polished into a "flesh pearl".
"Kuh, unhh⁉"
Her whole body trembled, her head turned up, and she looked up at the sky, her black hair tied in a ponytail was in disarray.
The back of her eyes were flickering.
The back of her hips was hot, her entire body was incredibly sensitive, and even the rubbing of her clothes felt good.
She climaxed.
Her hips that she had pushed behind were about to collapse, but Mariabelle still desperately took a step forward.
Eight more steps.
"Hiiii⁉ D-don't be―― so violent!!"
With drool flying from the edge of her lips, Mariabelle begged the slime.
The polished pearl of flesh was rolled up and down, left and right, and it rubbed against the fabric of her black underwear, giving off a tingling sensation.
It was as though she had been subjected to an electric shock at close range. The shock went from her clitoris to her brain, and then, after a delay, her entire body went into convulsions.
She climaxed again.
Still, Mariabelle desperately moved her feet.
Seven more steps.
"Hiii, hyaaahh⁉ Not, there―― stop thereee⁉"
"No, no―― again, again...... again――⁉"
"Fuuuu⁉"
But Mariabelle kept going.
Every step she took made her climax, and she wondered if her body was more sensitive than the others.
In fact, the continuous climaxes from Mariabelle, who was not treated with aphrodisiac like Meltia and Kara, could certainly be called hypersensitive.
As a hero, she had excellent physical abilities and five senses.
In the midst of battle, her senses become hypersensitive and her mind was elevated, so if she was violated while in battle, her sensitive sensation and elevated mind may work against her.
It was not Mariabelle's fault, but bad luck―― if she had been in her normal state, the slime would not have been able to touch her skin because it was protected by the hero's armor, and she would not have been violated in the first place.
"Haah, haah... not yet..."
The Black Ooze's nucleus was right in front of her. If she took one more step forward and swing the holy sword down, that will be the end of it.
But she felt that it was far away.
The holy sword felt heavier than before, and she couldn't stand without it supporting her.
Her hips were twitching pathetically, and her legs were trembling weakly like a newborn.
"Defeat, it. Absolutely... absolutely."
Her expression was dyed in anger, and her emotion became her driving force.
Mariabelle tried to take the last step, but the slime that had stuck to her skin also used its last remaining strength to pull on Mariabelle's clitoris with all its might, roughly, and with a force that would normally be painful.
The bare flesh pearl was pulled out to the base, which was slightly hidden by the skin, and rubbed roughly against the fabric of her black underwear.
If one could see through her thick pants for just a moment, one would be able to see Mariabelle's pubic area, and slightly above it...... her clitoris, hard and pointed.
It was so violent that Mariabelle opened her obsidian-colored eyes and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
The same goes for her breast.
The blue armor that protected Mariabelle's body was tightly attached to her breast, and it lifted it up so strong that a small cleavage was peeking out of her breast.
"Kuh, hii――⁉"
She didn't even let out a squeal.
The light scattered like stars twinkling in the back of her eyes, and she completely lost her hips.
With a flop, Mariabelle slumped to the ground.
Her face, which had been stained with anger, fell into oblivion, tears dripping from her eyes and drool dripping from her mouth.
"Hahii......"
Her entire body was jerking and twitching, showing just how deep her climax was.
"Haah, haah......"
(Sli, me......)
Still, Mariabelle looked ahead.
Her vision distorted due to tears, and she couldn't get any strength in her lower body. The repeated climaxes had caused her to lose her hips.
――But now that she was sitting, there was no need to use the holy sword as a support.
"With this, this is... the end!!"
While crying, drooling, and convulsing all over her body―― Mariabelle still swung the holy sword down.
Over and over and over again.
Her swinging could not be called swordsmanship anymore, just slamming the holy sword down with force. The Black Ooze's nucleus was quickly shattered, but that didn't stop Mariabelle from swinging the holy sword down.
Like a child, she repeatedly shattered the Black Ooze's nucleus...... and continued to do so about ten times before finally stopping herself from swinging the holy sword.
"I did it... I won, I did it..."
She should be happy, but her voice had no power.
Her shoulders slumped.
At the same time that the Black Ooze was defeated, the mucus that had been violating her limbs under her clothes also died.
......Next, she shed tears of sorrow.
"Onee-sama... uu, uuu..."
Her shoulders trembled. She couldn't stop crying.
She was too lazy to even wipe her tears, and her arms were heavy.
"Maria, you're here⁉ Are you okay, Maria!!"
"...Eh?"
The voice was familiar to her.
It was the voice of her beloved sister...... Meltia.
"Ah, Maria!! Thank god, you're safe―― thank god."
After a while, Mariabelle, who had been sitting motionless, was hugged from behind.
She could smell her sister's scent, soft and sweet from her gentle, warm arms.
"Onee, sama......?"
"I'm glad you're okay. I was worried when I heard from Kara-sama that you went after that giant slime by yourself."
"Why......?"
"I fell down to the basement after that. Do you remember? The dungeon, where the bad people were locked up?...... It was a place where the slimes gathered, and a slime caught me when I fell and saved me."
"And then they tried to attack her, and I saved her again...... Good work, hero-sama."
"Fenelieka-sama..."
"Arara, you look terrible. If you look like that, they will worry about you, okay?"
"Eh?"
Who?
At first, Mariabelle did not understand what Fenelieka was saying.
Behind Fenelieka, Kara, and a beautiful silver-haired woman, supported by Fornelis and Jenna, walked up to her.
"Ah, ahh..."
She knew. She remembered.
She would never forget it.
Her important, really, really important―― her own mother.
"Okaa-sama......"
"Really... Maria, it's really you. You came with Meltia to help me."
She couldn't stop crying. She couldn't speak.
Mariabelle smiled, her face crumpled with tears of joy, totally different from before.
She was so happy, but she was crying and couldn't speak.
......Leticia opened her arms and wrapped them around Mariabelle and Meltia, who was embracing Mariabelle.
The power was feeble, and it was painfully obvious to Mariabelle and Meltia, who were also violated by the slime in the past year...... how much disgrace she had been subjected to.
But she was happy.
Her mother was safe. She was glad to see her again like this.
She was so happy, she couldn't stop crying.
