Chapter 452.: The Second Coming of Gluttony 2
Going back to when Seol Jihu just arrived at his apartment room, Haramark was on the verge of being conquered.
Fires were soaring from several parts of the city, and clouds of acrid smoke were rising to the sky.
The city wall had countless holes like swiss cheese, and it broke and sunk wherever the Parasites touched, losing its function of protecting the city against invaders.
The number of soldiers defending the meaningless city wall paled in comparison to the number of soldiers attacking it. The wall was crawling with all sorts of parasites.
Though small in number, strong, experienced teams were holding their ground, relying on each other. However, there was no fighting against such an overwhelming number of enemies.
One would think that the enemy forces would have shrunk in size by now, but it felt like they increased in number instead.
“Aaaaack!”
A soldier who was guarding the city wall despite being surrounded by enemies finally fell. There was no way to defend fully against an overwhelming swarm that the Parasites boasted.
The soldier resentfully glared at the Nests in the distance that were endlessly spewing out parasites. Then, as the parasite that was attacking him opened its jaw, he closed his eyes and braced for death. He could see the fate he would meet.
Kwak! The parasite swallowed the soldier’s head and bit down. Along with the cracking of bones, blood spurted out from the gap in the parasite’s teeth.
The collapsed soldier flopped like a fish before his convulsing limbs stopped moving. Once one person fell, the rest of the defense line was quick to collapse.
Paradisian soldiers, Earthlings, and foreign races of the Federation were all swept away by the tsunami of parasites.
The group of parasites that rushed at the crying creatures and devoured them to their hearts’ content happily filling their bellies before scattering to find more food.
The same thing was happening in many areas of the city. With the city wall being in such a state, it wasn’t so hard to believe that the city gate had been broken through long ago.
The Parasites had already entered the city, and there weren’t enough forces to prevent them from entering. After all, any remaining troops were either running away or meeting a tragic fate after resisting until the end.
In truth, the battle was practically over. The defenders had lost. Their total annihilation was inevitable, but there were still a few who had not given up.
Teresa was swinging her sword with only a few soldiers at the southern gate, which was about to fall.
“Princess!”
Just as she pushed a Death Knight back after much struggle, Teresa heard someone shout her name.
It was Jan Sanctus’ voice.
There had to be a good reason that the general defending the southern gate alongside her gave up his position to find her.
“Hold on!”
A silver longsword flashed. Teresa sent the Death Knight’s head flying before quickly putting up her shield and falling back. When she looked back stealthily while keeping an eye out on her surroundings, she couldn’t help but be surprised.
The soldiers that she thought were protecting her rear were nowhere to be found. She could only see the corpses of what once must have been the soldiers.
That wasn’t all. Jan Sanctus, who was charred black from head to toe, suddenly stopped moving with his eyes widened.
“Sanctus?”
The moment Teresa called out, a stream of blood fell from Jan Sanctus’ mouth.
“The western gate has fallen… please retreat….”
He completed his sentence with great difficulty before placing his hand on his chest and falling on his knees.
Tang!
Just as Teresa began to rush up to him, she halted and jumped back at an explosive sound. It was because a beam of light abruptly shot toward her and bounced off her shield.
Seeing the white smoke rising from her shield, Teresa raised her eyes subconsciously.
A blonde-haired succubus was floating in the sky behind Jan Sanctus, looking down at her with hollow eyes.
Teresa’s expression contorted. The fact that Vulgar Chastity’s army was here was a clear sign that the western gate had been breached.
It was difficult enough to deal with Unsightly Humility’s army that was knocking on the southern gate.
Seeing the succubus’ hand glowing with light once again, Teresa gripped her longsword tight. The grimace on her face never disappeared as she could see a scene of total pandemonium without even having to look around.
‘So this is… really…’
The end.
“….”
…No, it’s not over yet. I might die here, but Eva is still standing. It’s a shame I won’t be able to see my Darling before I go, but if he revives in Eva before it’s too late… then my death here wouldn’t be in vain.
Teresa fixed her posture while holding in her tears.
Still… I wanted to see him at least once before dying….
It was then. Kwang! A sudden explosive sound struck her ears. The sound was so loud that the succubus and Teresa simultaneously turned their heads.
A glint flashed across the succubus’ eyes as she stared toward the north. She then flapped her wings, flying off.
Teresa bit her lower lip while watching the succubus fly away. Seeing not just that succubus but other succubi from Vulgar Chastity’s army gathering north, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Judging by how the north side abruptly turned quiet, something must have happened there for sure. And the organization in charge of defending the north was none other than Valhalla.
Valhalla’s members were fighting rather well against Sung Shihyun. Not only were they powerful Earthlings in their own right, but they also had the Star of Lust, Seo Yuhui, and the Successor of the Eternal Light of Wisdom, Eun Yuri, performing magnificently.
However, the situation took an abrupt turn a moment ago. The cause was Vulgar Chastity joining the battle after conquering the western gate.
“I finally got you.”
Vulgar Chastity grinned. Eun Yuri was hanging in the air, her limbs pierced through by Vulgar Chastity’s hair.
When Vulgar Chastity tilted her chin up, Eun Yuri was pulled up along with her hair. Collapsed below her were other members of Valhalla. They were either knocked down by Sung Shihyun or caught off guard by Vulgar Chastity’s sudden burst of energy.
“Why don’t you try that again? You know, Freeze~ World~”
A strand of hair poked Eun Yuri’s head again and again. Eun Yuri glanced down with a pair of half-open eyes. She then closed her eyes and went limp.
An elated smile flashed on Vulgar Chastity’s face.
“Now, now, what should I do with this cutie~?”
‘Should I stab her to death or tear her to pieces? No, it would be a shame to merely kill her. Should I corrupt her as I did with that Magician in the past?’
Just as Vulgar Chastity fell into blissful thoughts, her hair was suddenly chopped off. Seeing Eun Yuri falling, Vulgar Chastity blinked. It was because the one who cut her hair was none other than Sung Shihyun.
“Don’t kill her.”
Sung Shihyun smacked his lips as he retracted his sword.
“I don’t care about the others, but that one and that one can’t die. I chose them to be my fourth and seventh concubines.”
Sung Shihyun pointed at Eun Yuri and Phi Sora, who were groaning on the ground.
Vulgar Chastity sighed and shook her head.
“Nice timing, by the way. Yuhui and that girl were annoying the hell out of me…. Shit, anti-evil energy is irritating enough, just what the hell is that strange light?”
Sung Shihyun lightly kicked Eun Yuri. As he dusted his clothes while grumbling, bits and pieces of ice fell to the ground.
“…Anyway.”
He then placed his longsword on his shoulder and smiled.
“Looks like it’s over now.”
The cheeky smirk on his face was really asking to be punched. However, no one from Valhalla could open their mouths. Not only were they exhausted with fatigue and injuries, but the sense of despair coming from the feeling of defeat was also suppressing their bodies.
Valhalla’s line of defense was also on the verge of being broken through. The fact that they held out against Sung Shihyun until now was miraculous enough. Being told to handle another Army Commander was no different than a death sentence.
“Hey now, why the long faces? I would be proud. Thunders, miniature Thunder arrows, Spirit Arrows… I wasn’t expecting all this, really. Who would have thought humans and the Federation would have such a quick exchange?”
Sung Shihyun spoke mockingly as he looked around at everyone. He seemed to be enjoying looking at everyone’s faces.
“Good job. You can hold your head up high if you have lasted this long against me. I was planning to capture the city in a day and have fun with Yuhui while lazing around in the palace, but you lasted four whole days! If that’s not something to be proud of, then I don’t know what is.”
Seo Yuhui furrowed her brows after standing up with great difficulty.
“Or what, did you really think you could beat me? Come on, you know you weren’t. Mm? Right, Yuhui?”
As Sung Shihyun asked with a beaming smile, Seo Yuhui shuddered in disgust.
“You…”
Breathing heavily, she eked out a few words.
“You must be proud of defecting to the Parasites.”
Sung Shihyun’s face stiffened slightly.
“Yep, of course! Why wouldn’t I be?”
He then nodded his head and remarked sarcastically.
“Unlike a certain retard, I made the smart choice early on.”
“What was that?”
“Ah, don’t you know him? Some guy tried to fight us by himself when he was surrounded.”
Seo Yuhui’s eyes shot open. Sung Shihyun snickered.
“What a poor bastard. He acted all cool, thinking he was the main character or something, but then got beaten the hell up. In the end, he got captured and begged on his knees, please, please let me go. Even his snot and tears flew everywhere.”
“Bullshit!”
Unable to bear listening to him, Marcel Ghionea shot up and shouted.
“Representative Seol would never have done such a thing!”
Sung Shihyun’s eyebrow went up. He glared at the man with a look that clearly said, ‘Who the hell is he?’ Then, he scoffed indifferently.
“Iya… you’ve got courage, I’ll give you that. That’s right. I lied.”
He acknowledged it readily, even going as far as admiring Marcel Ghionea’s courage.
“To be honest, he was quite incredible. I’ll admit it. Yes, I do… but…”
Sung Shihyun shrugged.
“But he still is a retard.”
“Shut it!”
“No, no, hear me out. With so much strength, why wouldn’t he join us? The world would be in his grasp, and both sides would have nothing to fear.”
Sung Shihyun clicked his tongue.
“Like, no one was asking him to defect alone. He could have you guys along, and Her Majesty even gave her word that she would do her best to make things more convenient for him.”
Then, Sung Shihyun shook his head.
“I just don’t understand it. Why would he sacrifice himself for such trash of human beings? Especially those idiots who are always yapping on about rights and interests need to get stomped down a notch…”
Sung Shihyun muttered the last line in a cold manner that was unlike his usual self.
“Anyway, what a shame. All he had to do was swallow his pride and switch sides. He got too absorbed in playing the hero and couldn’t see what was better for him… hm?”
Sung Shihyun swung his hand in the middle of talking and caught an arrow that Marcel Ghionea shot toward him.
“Haa…. This son of a bitch….”
Sung Shihyun clenched his teeth and turned his head. He flickered into the distance with Ethereal Shift, and Marcel Ghionea, who was just about to shoot another arrow…
Tong!
“Kuk!”
…was stomped to the ground by Sung Shihyun’s foot.
“Don’t chirp when I’m talking, insect. So annoying….”
“Someone like you… as long as Representative comes back….”
Marcel Ghionea glared at Sung Shihyun with his head shoved against the ground.
“…Oh?”
Sung Shihyun snorted. He got annoyed whenever he thought about Seol Jihu, so he couldn’t help but seethe with killing intent with Marcel Ghionea mentioning him like this.
He raised his foot.
“Alright, I’ll take care of you first then.”
“Don’t!”
If Vulgar Chastity didn’t interrupt Sung Shihyun right there and then, Marcel Ghionea’s head would have popped instantly.
Sung Shihyun furrowed his brows.
“What do you want?”
“Don’t kill him. Give him to me.”
“Give him to you?”
“I did you a favor too, didn’t I? Besides, I know who this guy is. I remember him well.”
“Him? He’s nothing special. I don’t know him either.”
“Hear me out….”
Vulgar Chastity giggled and then whispered into Sung Shihyun’s ear. Sung Shihyun blinked in a fluster before looking back at Marcel Ghionea.
“…Oh, oh, Marika Larisa…. Photon magic, I’ve heard of it. So it was her?”
Marcel Ghionea flinched when he heard a name he was all too familiar with. Confirming this reaction, a vulgar smile hung on Sung Shihyun’s lips.
He beckoned one of the succubi flying in the air, and a blonde-haired succubus flew down.
“Strange, I thought there was no succubus left that hasn’t gotten a taste of my club. I haven’t seen this one before….”
Sung Shihyun scanned the succubus from head to toe before suddenly pulling her in by her waist.
“Larisa!”
Marcel Ghionea shouted. But paying no attention to his struggle, Sung Shihyun nodded while caressing the succubus’ butt and fondling her breasts.
“Mmm, why have I only seen her now? She’s half decent. She’s got a nice rack and a juicy ass. I would have eaten her out a few times before if I knew.”
“Larisa! Snap out of it! Please!”
“Alright, I’ll let him live. Fucking her in front of her old fiance sounds exciting too. Anyway, what a bombshell. Westerners surely have glamorous bodies.”
Sung Shihyun’s hand was reaching toward the succubus’ private parts. However, the succubus that was once human did not so much as bat an eye inside Sung Shihyun’s embrace. She was only looking down at Marcel Ghionea with eyes that seemed to have lost intellect.
Tears eventually streamed down from Marcel Ghionea’s face as he grit his teeth and shuddered.
