Chapter 49: Hobgoblins (10)
I could feel a newfound power boiling within me! It was an intense experience I had never felt when I was human! Was this the physicality of a demon race?
The bubbling sensation of magic power made me realize once again that I had reincarnated as a demon. Being originally one of the lowest-ranked demons, I had never felt something like this before. It was a first.
"Phew."
Although I would need to test it at full strength once I had recovered, I was clearly aware that my power had increased.
"Sharan. This is the real me."
As I placed my hand on the head of Sharan, who was kneeling and covering her mouth,
"Sha, Shaa…"
Sharan looked up at me with her ears twitching.
Anyway,
"Guys, we won. Thank you so much. The victory was all thanks to your hard work. I'm truly grateful!"
I expressed my gratitude.
"Keheuk…!"
"Kererak…!"
The elated goblins responded enthusiastically. Without further ado, I immediately checked on the condition of my subordinates lying down.
"You all must be exhausted."
Everyone was entirely sprawled out. They needed to replenish their nutrients and rest soon, or there might be side effects. But what really made me happy was that none of them were seriously hurt.
Of course, all the shields and spears were in terrible condition, but those were all expendable anyway. Even those who got hit by the chieftain and were sent flying didn't break any bones.
Just simple bruises.
"Okay, you two are injured. So, no work or training until you recover."
"Keheuk!"
"Huh? You like that?"
Chuckling,
"Now, Buril. Open your mouth."
"Kereuk…"
I immediately poured water from a flask into Buril's mouth. He happily drank it. After distributing water to all my subordinates, I laid them all down in a straight line.
"I'm giving you guys some rest time now. Just lie down. I'll take care of the rest."
"Keheuk!"
At that, the goblins, deeply touched, cried.
"Damn it, I should be the one crying."
All of this, this victory, was thanks to them. Though I, as a demon, might have a better physical build, I couldn't have won on my own. I owed my life to them.
"Then, Imsoong-ah! Gyuil-ah!"
"Kkeureuk!"
"Gyusak!"
The two who had been waiting behind now stepped forward.
"You guys are in charge of miscellaneous tasks. Hurry up, clean up here, and prepare the meal."
"Kkeureuk!"
The two responded energetically and headed out to clean up and prepare food. After watching them, I cleaned up the corpses of the hobgoblins.
"Ugh."
Dragging noises
I dragged the bodies to the food storage. Leaving two aside for later, it was party time tonight. We should replenish our protein like crazy.
"Hehehe."
The thought of the party made my mouth water. Wow, I had really become a savage. But it wasn't just the idea of the party that made me drool.
"Equipment items, damn."
The leather clothes worn by the hobgoblins and the stone axes they carried all of these were now mine. Now, I was able to dress my goblin soldiers! The sheer happiness of that!
"We've got weapons and armor now. Kyaa. Damn, we really look like a demon army now."
On top of that, I had grown stronger.
At this rate, we might even conquer the middle realm.
"Shaa."
"Hmm? Sharan?"
"Shasha."
"Can you help? Hehehe, thanks."
With Sharan's help, it was done in no time.
"Hey! Wake up! Let's eat now!"
"Keureureuk."
Perhaps due to their rest, the goblins slowly got up, staggering to their feet.
"Kkureuk!"
When they went outside, Imsoong was already roasting the Hobgoblin's corpse. It was said that even a dog staying at a temple could recite a poem after three years. Likewise, this little guy could now prepare meals on his own.
"Imsoong, well done. You can handle it on your own now."
"Kkureuk!"
Was he feeling good from the praise? Imsoong replied with a wide smile. Although he had a face that looked like a monster, he was still cute when he smiled.
"Ah, yes. Everyone, sit down! We're having a banquet with Hobgoblin meat!"
"Keureureuk!"
At my command, everyone sat around the bonfire. Sharan and I, Buril, and the goblins and my other minions,
Tadaktadak.
The scent of the grilling meat was truly enticing. Shall I give a short speech before we start eating?
"Today, we defeated those vicious Hobgoblins! It was all possible because of your abilities! Thank you!"
"Keureureuk!"
Buril shouted a cheer.
"Let's keep up this momentum and conquer this forest! For the Demon Army of Kyuse! Fighting!"
"Keureuuuuk!"
"Shaaaaaa!"
And so,
We all enjoyed our meal.
The taste of victory was indeed sweet.
After the meal, we immediately headed to the valley. After a good meal, if we clean ourselves up and rest, our energy should be fully restored by tomorrow.
There was a lot to do tomorrow. I had to test my power and go to the Hobgoblin's territory to finish off the remnants.
"Kerek!"
Splash!
Under Buril's guidance, all the soldiers jumped into the water.
"Kerekerek!"
"Gyusat!"
"Kkureureureuk!"
It was truly a kingdom of animals.
"Ah, yes. Everyone, make sure to wash thoroughly."
Even though they enjoyed taking a bath, they always seemed excited when they jumped into the water. I supervised them with contentment.
Then,
"Shashasha."
Sharan,
Saruruk.
"…!"
She removed the leaf clothes she was wearing and naturally walked towards the water.
Sharan's back view,
Tangle.
That jiggling… her hips… were moving enticingly. How could she have such a provocative figure? Every time I looked, I felt overwhelmed.
"…"
Sharan entered the water and began to wash her body.
"She truly has an amazing figure."
She was perfect. Every curve and line of her body was defined especially her ample bosom… Should I ask to touch it just once?
Would she mind?
Today, I had displayed my authority as the Demon King. Surely, Sharan wouldn't reject me. Moreover, I had already decided. Once this battle was over, I'd ask her permission to touch her chest.
"Alright."
With that thought, I immediately undressed and entered the water, slowly approaching Sharan.
"Sharan?"
"Shaah?"
Hearing her name, Sharan approached me.
She stood before me with a truly innocent smile, seemingly unaware of her nudity.
She was truly a natural beauty.
She was unbothered by her nakedness as she stood in front of me.
Gulp.
My throat involuntarily swallowed.
"Sharan… Can you stand still for a moment?"
"Shaah? Shaashaah."
Did she understand?
Sharan stood still, looking at me.
It felt embarrassing and challenging to ask, but I finally said,
"Um… Sharan? May I touch your chest?"
She seemed confused.
"Shaah?"
However, Sharan didn't seem to understand my awkward words. So, I decided to show her. Now was the time to make a move.
Without hesitation, I reached out.
And grasped.
Sharan's.
Bosom.
"Whoa…!"
It felt as if a current ran through my hand. Not literally… but the sensation from touching Sharan's soft bosom made my hand tremble.
Shivers.
Sharan's reaction?
"Shaah?"
She just tilted her head, still looking at me.
A face that knew nothing, so innocent. So, I took the initiative, or rather, became more assertive. I fully grasped Sharan's bosom with both hands and gently kneaded it.
Soft kneading sounds.
"Wow…"
The soft and smooth texture of her bosom overflowed between my fingers. It was too large to hold fully. How could she carry such weight? As I thought about the burden she must have felt, I continued to fondle her chest.
An overwhelming sensation.
A wave of emotion. After reincarnation, I had faced various oppressions. All the stress originating from those situations seemed to vanish within my grasp.
"Sharan."
"Shaahaa."
Sharan's face still showed that she understood nothing.
Was this how it was? Perhaps she didn't understand the implications of a man touching her chest?
Well, a Dryad was a spirit. One could say a kind of monster. She hadn't built a civilization and lived alone. She probably never had any form of sexual education.
But then,
Why did she try to seduce me at first? Was it instinct? A monster-like instinct?
Driven by instinct to lure and consume the beings that came close.
But why wasn't she doing that now? Honestly, that was really enjoyable. No man would hate the sensation that made one's heart race. Could it be that she didn't do it again because I ran away so fiercely last time?
Was it because she thought I didn't like it?
I was overwhelmed with questions.
"Sha-a!"
Sharan's voice snapped me out of my thoughts!
"Hmm?!"
What's going on?
Did she not like me anymore?
"Sha-a! Sha-a sha-a."
But that wasn't the case.
Sharan was smiling very innocently. Why? Why was she smiling so beautifully at me? The same Sharan that used to smile at me like that.
ㅡRustle.
I stepped back a few steps in surprise.
"Sharan?"
"Sha-a!"
Sharan, pointing at her own chest with two fingers. What's with that suggestive gesture? I looked at Sharan's pink nipple and replied.
"Um… Why your chest?"
"Sha-a sha-a."
Sharan nodded.
ㅡSwoosh.
Suddenly, Sharan placed both hands on the back of her head as if flaunting her chest. But that wasn't all. Amazingly, Sharan swayed her body left and right, jiggling her chest.
ㅡJiggle-jiggle.
"Sha-a. Sha-a sha-a."
"Whoa!"
What the heck was this?!
Her jiggling chest! It felt as if some kind of hypnotic wave was being emitted from it. No, it actually was. I was completely entranced by that wave.
"Sharan…!"
A tsunami of intense emotion flooded my vision. The beautiful and innocent Sharan was jiggling her chest in front of me. This wasn't a seductive gesture to hunt me. She was just doing this because she seemed to know that I liked chests.
It was like a dance dedicated to me.
"Sharan!"
"Sha-a!"
I couldn't help but rush into Sharan's embrace and bury my face in her chest…! At the same time, my aroused member touched Sharan's soft thigh.
ㅡTingle…!
"Ah…!"
Really, I gasped for breath. Every time my swollen tip brushed against Sharan's thigh, it gave me intense pleasure, hitting my heart hard.
"Sharan, Sharan…!"
"Sha-a…?"
Yet, Sharan didn't seem to understand what I was doing. Even though I was poking her thigh with my aroused self, Sharan didn't know what this act meant.
ㅡSwoosh.
Suddenly, I felt a warm sensation on the back of my head.
"Sharan?"
"Sha-a sha-a."
Sharan, with a smiling face, was caressing the back of my head… Now, it was getting too hard to control myself. Wouldn't Sharan accept me? Even if I let myself go, wouldn't she keep smiling?
However.
Doing it with Sharan, who couldn't speak, wasn't right. Wasn't it just like doing it with a girl who knew nothing?
Thinking that, I held back.
"Phew!"
I exhaled deeply and pulled away from Sharan. It was not right to do this with Sharan in her current state.
"Sha-a?"
Sharan looked at me, seeming puzzled.
Let's just go back.
However, the crisis struck again.
After returning to the dungeon and putting the kids to sleep, I lay down on the special plant bed with Sharan.
"Shaasha."
Sharan snuggled up to me intensely. It was clear; it was not of a sexual nature but merely her being affectionate because she liked me. However, when a woman with such a beautiful body rubbed her barely clothed self against you, it was just a sexual appeal, even if unintended.
…
I was already aroused.
"Shaasha. Shaasha."
Just then.
Sharan, who had turned her back to me and pressed it against my chest, took my idle hand.
"Shaah."
"Eh!"
She then placed it on her breast!
This moment! She deliberately took my hand to touch her breast! Moreover, she was even without her leaf bra!
"Tsk!"
I felt Sharan's nipple in my hand.
Throb!
My underwear felt like it was about to burst.
"Shaahaa. Shaasha."
Sharan just smiled gently, rubbing her back against me. Truly. It didn't feel like she was seducing me; instead, she was just innocently smiling. It even gave me a sort of guilty feeling.
Despite having a provocative figure and audaciously knowing nothing… I was now pressed up against such a Sharan, caressing her breasts.
…
My aroused member.
Touched Sharan's buttocks.
