Chapter 177: Mollang Is Acting Strange (1)
Zzzzztt—!
A mana saber and mana shield collided at reduced power, scattering high heat and high-pressure mana fragments everywhere.
Dane, instead of using his usual massive shield to protect the formation, had formed a kite shield just big enough to cover his forearm. With it, he deflected Wade's mana saber from the 7th living quarters, both receiving shocks that felt as if their grips were about to shatter from the recoil of the two mana generators.
In a clash of equal force, Dane, who was heavier and more durable, had the advantage. He immediately lunged at Wade, swinging his specially designed gauntlet.
Clang!
Most gauntlets attached to armor are simply meant for defense or to protect against the heat of a mana saber, but Dane's gauntlets were impact gauntlets that detected incoming air when he swung his fists, releasing shockwaves.
'Dane's going to win this.'
Dane was usually weak in one-on-one combat, but today, perhaps driven by his frustration from continuous losses, he was ferociously pressuring Wade with his fists.
"Whew…"
The knights were currently in the middle of their primary duty: intense combat training with their weapons.
Everyone except me.
It wasn't because I wasn't part of the magical knight division anymore or because I had moved to the private knight division under the guardian dragon. I had been lazing around during these training sessions since my second year.
Back then, I used to spar with Dane or a few other fools, but nowadays, no one wanted to fight me. They found it boring and felt like they were being cheated. Even senior knights kicked me out, telling me not to disturb the others and to take a break by myself.
"Guess I'll grab lunch."
While eating lunch earlier than everyone else, I was heading back to the living quarters when I suddenly felt dizzy, my legs going weak. I leaned against a wall to recover my strength.
'Did Mollang suck too much this morning?'
Mollang had been growing larger recently, which seemed to increase her demand for my semen.
At first, I wondered if I could satisfy her with my semen alone. But as her body grew, she constantly craved it from morning till night, demanding it whenever she had the chance. As a result, my testicles were now completely drained.
On top of that, at night, I'd take a naked stroll near the living quarters to calm Silvia, who howled like a wolf. After walking about 30 steps, she'd go into heat again, burying her face in my groin with a bitch-like expression, forcing me to respond. Afterward, Shuru would knead my groin in her sleep, licking it with her tongue.
While I could handle the others with my enhanced stamina, Mollang was a different story. She had recently started squeezing my testicles deliberately while sucking out my semen, her larger size requiring more to satisfy her. It was becoming exhausting.
'I like that Mollang is getting bigger, but I'm starting to feel worn out…'
Anyone would feel weak after ejaculating more than seven times a day.
"Professor Pandel, do you have any stamina potions?"
Of course, by "stamina potions," I meant aphrodisiacs. Professor Pandel would know what I meant and hand them over without question.
"Doesn't look like he's here."
Noticing that Professor Pandel wasn't in the infirmary, I went straight to the cabinet where the potions were stored and started searching for the aphrodisiac I had taken before.
'Why are aphrodisiacs even kept in a place like this…?'
The knights' division was almost entirely male, and even the women who prepared our meals rarely interacted with us.
"Well, it's a useful medicine for me, at least."
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
As I chugged the potion, I felt energy quickly filling my empty testicles. A rush of vitality surged through me, forming semen at an accelerated pace.
"Phew!"
"You've got some nerve, sneaking in and stealing potions while the owner's away."
"Ugh, Professor Pandel!"
I had planned to quickly finish and hide the flask, but of course, Professor Pandel returned to the infirmary right as I was drinking.
"And to top it off, you're stealing an aphrodisiac… What exactly have you been doing to need something like that?"
Cough! "I've just been feeling weak lately. It's not for anything strange, I swear."
"I've heard all about your escapades, like a horny dog causing trouble everywhere. The rumors have spread throughout the entire capital."
"Ah, those are all baseless accusations, trying to slander me."
"…"
"Okay, yes. I'm sorry for stealing your aphrodisiac. I'll buy another and replace it."
"Don't talk nonsense. That's not even originally an aphrodisiac. It's a potion for treating circulatory problems, which improves blood flow and happens to help with erectile dysfunction. That's why it's infamous for other uses."
"So, it's for erectile dysfunction after all."
"…"
Hearing that, Professor Pandel gave me a look as if to say, *"This bastard…!"* After a moment of thought, he pulled out a piece of paper from his documents and handed it to me.
"Get ready."
"Ready for what?"
"Escort duty. I needed someone to escort me on a long trip, and it looks like you're the perfect candidate."
"Isn't that a bit harsh as punishment for sneaking some aphrodisiac?"
"This isn't the first time. You've been carried here injured or drained so often to get potions, haven't you?"
Damn, now that I think about it, I owe Professor Pandel quite a bit.
"Besides, you look like you're the most idle person in the knight division right now."
In fact, this month's training involved sparring matches among the trainees. Since none of them could match me in swordsmanship, I was effectively excluded, which meant I really was quite free.
"Where are we heading on this trip?"
"My hometown."
If it's Professor Pandel's hometown, is it that place I'm thinking of?
"Yes. The Forest of Elves."
---
The Forest of Elves was one of the few paradises for knights.
After romance novels featuring knights clad in heavy armor protecting beautiful elven women became popular, my peers and I couldn't help but develop fantasies about elves.
In fact, after seeing Delphine, who stayed in the forest for a while, we all thought, *So all elves are this beautiful…* Even after Delphine returned to Frederica's homunculus workshop, some of my peers still gathered rare herbs and flowers to send to her.
As a result, it wasn't just me—most of my peers had high expectations about elves.
'Should I bring the girls along?'
When I mentioned I'd be traveling, Silvia insisted on coming with me. However, Gerald, who was leading the training program for second-generation military dog trainers, told me it wouldn't be right to leave in the middle of it. I had to calm Silvia down (of course, by using… other methods to tame her into a well-behaved bitch) and left her behind.
Surprisingly, Gerald held Silvia in high regard. While she lacked enthusiasm for training, her skills were exceptional. Gerald said she was great at helping out when I asked her to assist with lessons.
Anyway, Silvia was left behind, and I packed the girls into my bag.
"Plan for the round trip to take about two months."
"…How big is this kingdom that it would take that long? Are we traveling on foot?"
"Yes, we'll be traveling on foot."
I knew the Forest of Elves wasn't part of the kingdom but was beyond its borders, so it was far. Still, I thought it would take about a month on horseback—two months sounded absurd.
"The area around the Forest of Elves is undeveloped, so riding a horse is difficult. Besides, I can't ride, and the terrain near the forest isn't suitable for horses. Not to mention, we'll pass through beastmen territory before we get there."
Professor Pandel handed me a map outlining our route as he loaded his luggage onto the prepared carriage.
We'd first head to a northern city, then proceed west through beastmen territory before reaching the border. From there, we'd travel on foot.
"There's no direct supply route, so this is the only way. Once we reach the border, we'll have to walk, and you shouldn't expect resupply."
"So, we're supposed to starve to death?"
"Starve to death in the Forest of Elves… Well, that's something only someone ignorant would say."
I mean, Professor Pandel wouldn't let me starve. He might hand me some weird bugs, saying they're full of protein, or claim that since he has elven blood, he can survive on just plants. But he wouldn't actually let me die.
"Hold on a moment. Let me lighten my load."
After hearing we'd be walking, I decided to carry only the bare essentials. I asked if I should bring armor, but Professor Pandel said we weren't likely to face any real danger, so I left it behind and packed a mana saber instead, just in case.
"But what if we get shot by elves without armor?"
"If you're up against elven rangers, armor won't matter. They'll shoot arrows into the joints and aim for the gap in your helmet to take your head off."
"…"
"Don't worry. I'm coming with you. Besides, the elven rangers have a cooperative relationship with the kingdom, so there shouldn't be any attacks."
'Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling about this?'
As Professor Pandel said, this was just an escort mission, not a battle. So, I left the armor behind, grabbed a bag with the girls inside, and another bag with spare clothes and food, and climbed into the carriage with him.
"By the way, your pet slime seems bigger than the last time I saw it."
"She's grown a bit."
"You must be overfeeding her. Unlike other animals, slimes don't show their weight gain unless you measure their weight or volume, so you need to be careful. Start controlling her diet."
"Yes."
I was already worried about how to feed Mollang on this trip. Since I wouldn't have many chances to give her semen while traveling with Professor Pandel, she was bound to be hungry.
Shuru was easier to manage. I had packed food for her, and feeding her in front of Professor Pandel wouldn't be a problem. But Mollang was trickier.
During the first few days of the trip, Mollang stayed surprisingly calm in my bag alongside Shuru. Meanwhile, Shuru kept wandering around and almost fell out of the carriage a few times. I had to attach a leash to prevent her from jumping out the window.
I felt bad, but her safety came first.
We reached the northern city in a few days without much trouble. Instead of entering the city, we followed an outer road and headed straight for the border. Although I wanted to stop by and greet Demona or Naomi, I was on official business, so I had to put it off for another time.
"We're entering an area without law enforcement now."
"I understand…"
Professor Pandel rested inside the carriage, the coachman slept in a hammock-like setup on the driver's seat, and I lay in a sleeping bag nearby, holding the girls.
Shuru snuggled into my arms, licking my face and lips affectionately, while Mollang, as expected…
Slurp… slurp…
'If we get caught doing this… Professor Pandel might actually cut me off.'
Mollang, who used to freely transform into slime form to suck me off, now deliberately maintained a more human-like shape whenever I was watching. She had grown to about the size of a young girl, lying upside-down in my sleeping bag, taking me into her mouth, and her toes brushed against my chest.
Normally, she would only form the parts she needed, leaving the rest of her body in a jelly-like state. But now…
'Is it just me, or does she seem like she wants to become human?'
With Shuru purring softly and her wet nose pressed against my face, I endured another sleepless night, surrendering my lower half to Mollang.
"Ugh…"
Drip…
As I felt my semen flowing into Mollang's mouth, I thought she'd finally let me go. But instead, she buried her face deeper into my groin, using her throat to stimulate the tip of my cock once again.
'She's really insatiable… Huh?'
I was about to give up on sleep and indulge her when I noticed a glint of reflected metal light beyond the forest. I reached down, grabbed Mollang's core, and forcibly separated her from my body.
