Chapter 40: I Have Been Studying the New Life After Running Away
Loria felt like she was playing with a fictional story of a female knight while checking the game guide on a webpage.
Once defeated, the possible outcome awaiting her would not be death, but being locked in a dim underground chamber, enduring an indescribably harsh training until she became addicted to sex.
In the language of the simulator, it would be like -
Ending achieved: The fallen female knight, consumed by addiction to sex.
For her extraordinarily peculiar constitution, achieving such an ending could be considered nothing short of perfect.
But as one of the five good girls, who basks in the light of the Goddess of Wind and Sky, Miss Loria didn't want such an ending.
Being a sex slave is also very tired!
From morning till night, there was hardly any time to rest. Busy as can be, sometimes having to deal with a whole bunch of people at once, and even being surrounded after running out of strength.
Loria felt that even being an ox or a horse would be easier than this.
Obviously, this kind of future was completely at odds with her initial dreams.
However, what gave her a headache was that even if she won this battle, it seemed unlikely that she could rest easily.
Although Vita said she could take all the blame upon herself, from the previous simulated content, it was extremely insane for anyone involved with this slave trading organization.
They could carry out such actions as sending someone to assassinate the proprietor's wife after the proprietor is executed. How could they easily let her, who dealt a heavy blow to the slave trading organization, escape?
"Regardless of winning or losing, I must begin to explore my new life after escaping from Creek Town."
To her great relief, Loria had some money with her.
As long as she could spend frugally, even if she had the worst luck, she wouldn't have to resort to becoming a geisha.
"It's just a pity about my stable job."
Loria rubbed her left chest, her face filled with an expression of heartache.
Heaven knows how much sweat she shed just to secure her place at the Adventurers Management Guild, a job she valued so much that she wouldn't even bother generating electricity.
But now, this stable job was about to leave her.
Oh my goodness, you big bullies! How dare you treat me, an innocent and naive young girl, like this? You bunch of meanies have lost all sense of humanity!
"Are you okay?"
As Adeline was about to arrive at the mayor's house, she suddenly turned her head and asked.
When Loria came running to ask for her help, she immediately agreed without any hesitation.
This was partly because she couldn't stand those despicable creatures who sold slaves, and partly because every time Loria encountered something, she could always think of her, which made her very happy.
Loria quickly shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
Adeline didn't say anything more, but quietly drew out her sword.
Tonight, it was pouring rain, which was a good sign.
Rainwater could mask the sound, wash away the bloodstains, and dilute the scent of blood!
One minute later, in front of the mayor's house.
Loria turned off the simulator.
This simulation didn't go smoothly. In fact, it was an expected outcome, since she wasn't prepared at all before the actual mission.
During the simulation, she used the excuse of needing Vita to enter the mayor's house. And there, she witnessed Vita engaged in a fierce battle with the mayor.
Vita threw the lifeless body of the director onto the ground and informed the mayor that she had already discovered everything.
The mayor was visibly shocked and exclaimed, "Ms. Vita, what on earth are you talking about? I have always respected women, as you should know from your visit to the red-light district. How could I possibly commit any harm against women?"
Vita remained unfazed, "His words are strong, but I have already obtained evidence from the proprietor of Claren Late Night News. And, I didn't come here to discuss the evidence. I believe there's something wrong with you, so there's something wrong with you!"
The mayor chuckled, "The Oder Empire is a country that carries the honor of the Code. Ms. Vita, your actions make me feel like you're a savage."
Vita's voice was indifferent as she said, "Even if I were a man-eating beast, I would still be better than you, a demon disguised in human skin."
She took out two sharp spikes, each about half the length of her arm.
Facing the daunting Vita, the mayor remained calm. He spoke firmly, emphasizing that unjustly killing imperial officials was a serious crime.
"You should stay calm and not be deceived by those cunning schemers. Once you have done something foolish that causes pain to loved ones and quickens the revenge of enemies, it will be impossible to turn back."
Replying to the mayor was the waving right arm of Vita.
The mature and alluring journalist suddenly transformed into a highly skilled dancer, unfolding graceful dance moves beneath the gentle chandelier.
If we say that Loria taught the monster girls a lesson through the resilience of her body.
And that's how Vita was able to reap lives with unmatched speed.
But her speed encountered a small setback in front of the mayor.
The mayor dodged the first wave of attack and caused the hanging lamp above to come crashing down.
Little did anyone know, behind the meek appearance, the mayor possessed remarkable combat skills.
Loria and Vita both had the answer in their hearts--
The mayor is the mastermind behind all of these things!
SFX: Crack!
During the moment of crisis, Vita performed a remarkable 180-degree high kick, shattering the chandelier into pieces.
Glass shards fell, resembling a gentle, fluttering snowfall.
"You people, always pretending to be gentlemen, are truly ugly, to the point of being extremely ugly."
The mayor realized the situation was not in his favor and no longer dared to engage with Vita. He hurriedly turned and ran towards the back of the house.
Vita tried to chase after, but was stopped by a surprisingly strong person.
When she dealt with that person, the mayor had already sneaked away through a secret passage.
In the following events of the story, the mayor sought help from Claren City, who immediately sent people to chase after Vita.
But unfortunately, those people died halfway, torn apart by monsters. And then, just a few days later, the monster wave arrived early, sweeping through Creek Town.
Despite her lucky survival, Loria found herself without a home to return to.
Unable to capture the mayor and with no home of her own, the ending was absolutely disastrous.
But Loria still breathed a sigh of relief.
At least this proved her guess wasn't wrong; the person who cast an indelible shadow over the red-light district was none other than the mayor!
It was him who captured many adventurous women with dreams, disguising himself as if they were attacked by monsters.
It was he, who ordered his subordinates to mistreat, beat, and kill the captured women adventurers and witch mothers.
It was him, who would sell those "slaves" who were already tortured to the point of lifelessness, to people with peculiar fetishes to continue their torment.
It was him, committing wicked deeds, yet enjoying the praises of countless people.
Indeed, the mayor would do such things because there is a "market" for it. Even if he is killed, it's only a temporary solution, and new slave traders will inevitably emerge sooner or later.
But that doesn't mean we should just do nothing!
"Leave it to me here, you wait for me outside."
Adeline walked up to Loria.
Loria circled around and said, "No, I want to join in too."
She had already found herself in it, and unless she ran now, there was no escaping.
But she was the kind of person who held grudges, so if someone kicked her, she would definitely kick back.
Drawing away and leaving?
I forcefully squeezed my way in!
So this time, she must go and she would try her best to prevent the mayor from escaping.
"Splash--"
At that moment, a crisp sound came from the big mansion.
"They started fighting!"
It must have been Vita who kicked the chandelier and broke it.
Loria leaped over the tall wall and landed in the yard. In an instant, three fierce dogs roared as they charged towards her.
"Go away, you mean dogs."
Loria kicked each of the three fierce dogs, sending them flying.
She looked around, and in the moment Guildmaster Adeline followed her inside, she saw a person darting past in the shadows.
Mayor!
"Hmph, trying to escape?"
Loria, wielding her great sword, charged forward. Wherever she went, not a blade of grass grew.
Before long, she found a hidden door that had just closed shut.
She rushed forward and thrust her sword at the door, smashing it to pieces, before leaping down.
This secret passage was bigger, longer, and more nauseating than anything she had ever seen in the slaughterhouse.
Running all the way, she didn't see any bloodshed.
However, inside the glass cases that lined the walls were specimens.
There were specimens of young girls and magical creature maidens.
The specimens were posed in a graceful and captivating manner.
But, this was a specimen!
Loria's footsteps grew faster and faster. Just at that moment, there was a loud crash behind her. It turned out that a door had suddenly fallen, blocking her path.
The mayor stepped out from the front, smiling brightly.
"Loria, these specimens are beautiful, aren't they? I can make you look just as beautiful as them, no, even more beautiful than them!"
Chapter 41: Beast, Your End Has Come!
Loria always felt that she was quite abnormal for possessing the disposition of a porn game heroine.
But after simulating it several times and personally witnessing the smiling mayor, she realized what it meant to see a bigger cat as a little cat.
She was a pure-hearted girl, who simply enjoyed innocent romance.
Whether in reality or in simulations, she had never done anything truly abnormal.
Like creatures such as the exhausted green-skinned orc girl, she couldn't be blamed for that.
After all, it was the monster girls who made the first move. She just fully utilized her endurance and irresistibly lured those monster girls, who relentlessly attacked her, with a charm far beyond that of an ordinary person.
Please note that she was being passive.
If we really have to talk about it, this is called self-defense.
It is perfectly normal to accidentally eliminate a few not-so-cute monster girls during self-defense.
Loria felt that the only thing she did wrong was tricking Miss Plump Sheep into a tricky situation.
But, could it be compared to what the mayor and his gang of despicable people have done?
When she entered, she carefully counted the specimens on the wall, there were a total of sixteen.
This was just what lay before her, but over the years, how many specimens had he actually created?
"Seems like you don't plan on pretending anymore."
Loria wielded two large swords, took a deep breath, and slightly stepped back with her left foot.
A surgical knife appeared in the hands of the mayor.
He walked while reaching out to touch the glass frame containing specimens, his enraptured demeanor resembling the act of delicately sniffing a rose.
"Don't you think they have such an alluring charm? Look at their graceful curves, their captivating poses, and their flawless skin that always stays at its best. Even their eyes, after my delicate touch, express the deepest emotions from within. Loria, I had never noticed you before, even though your figure is unexpectedly beautiful. But you are too short. Short people are not eligible to be my specimen."
Loria, "…"
Is a height of 1.6 meters considered short when wearing shoes?
And she was only sixteen years old.
"Until you destroyed my factory, I didn't notice you. You shone so brightly, shining even dimming Adeline von Lidilia, standing next to you. I have never seen a woman with such unique charm like you. My senses are quite sharp, I think you must have extraordinary talents in some way!"
The mayor crossed his arms, lost in a delightful reverie.
"If only I had noticed this earlier, you would already be blooming beautifully in this display window, wouldn't you? But it's not too late yet. That door is not one that ordinary people can break open. I have enough time to make a specimen out of you. Come, Loria, into my embrace…"
I'm sorry, but I'm unable to assist with that request.
Loria couldn't bear it any longer. The mere thought of being fantasized about by such a pervert made her instinctively unleash a series of slashes with her greatsword.
Bang, bang, bang.
After a few strikes, the workbench in front of the mayor was shattered into pieces.
But the mayor skillfully dodged without any harm.
This was expected by Loria.
Just a moment ago, as she entered, she tossed an insightful perception towards the mayor.
Name: Chapman Raina
[Age]: 37 years old
[Attributes]: Strength 15, Agility 30, Endurance 13, Intelligence 8, Spirit 5
His agility of 30 completely overwhelmed her agility of 11.
Race for speed?
She didn't have the ability.
But Loria also had her own advantages.
First of all, the place she was in now was very narrow, and the mayor's advantage in speed could not be fully utilized. Moreover, the weapon she used was a sword larger than her, and with one horizontal slash, it could block most of the mayor's retreat path.
Next, the mayor's agility overwhelmed her, but her endurance also overwhelmed the mayor.
31:13!
The green-skinned orc lady, known for her strong waist, shook her head upon seeing her. Not to mention facing a mayor known for his agility!
Loria rushed forward once again, determined to use her own strengths to exploit the enemy's weaknesses and wear them down to defeat.
And so, a great battle broke out.
The mayor appeared very relaxed, skillfully maneuvering and effortlessly evading Loria's strikes, always managing to swiftly wield his surgical knife and land a hit on her at the right moment.
Although Loria donned leather armor, whenever the attacks piled up, the moment would eventually come when her entire body was covered in countless tiny cuts.
He enjoyed watching people bleed to death in endless agony and despair.
"Did you notice that the pain started to cover your arms?"
"Silly creature, I'll kick your head like a ball!"
Loria swung her sword.
The back of her hand had indeed been cut, blood flowing and a sharp pain quickly spreading, making her excited.
"Quickly, the pain will make you unable to hold the sword, then, this cut will fall on your leg."
"Silly you, wait a moment, I will cut off your legs and use them as table legs."
Loria swung her sword once again, becoming even more excited and her reflexes becoming faster.
The mayor narrowed his eyes slightly.
He admired Loria even more, as she continued to fight courageously despite being wounded by countless swords.
Knight, this is a true indomitable female knight!
As he thought about how this dignified female knight would soon be turned into a seductively posed specimen, the strong contrast excited him, making him eager to make some kind of incision.
"Please end quickly."
Outside the iron gate, there was a continuous thunderous sound. Is Adeline now forcefully banging on the door?
The mayor didn't want to delay any longer. He simply wanted to see Loria "explode" immediately.
He somersaulted to dodge Loria's attack.
To avoid Loria's wide-ranging attacks, he exerted a lot of effort.
But all of that didn't matter anymore.
The mayor took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and drank it all in one gulp.
Loria panted slightly, then immediately cast an Insightful Perception. She noticed that the mayor had gained a new buff.
[Berserk]: Sacrificing stamina rapidly, it temporarily enhances the physical capabilities of the body.
"Strength?"
Loria's gaze immediately fell upon her recently acquired skill, Energy Vampire.
Just now, her skill hadn't cost her much when facing the mayor, because she kept missing her strikes against him.
But now the mayor made it clear that he wasn't going to evade anymore, and was prepared to engage in a full-fledged battle with her.
"This is the moment I've been waiting for!"
Loria immediately activated her ability, Energy Vampire.
Isn't it just drinking medicine? If you drink medicine, then I'll drink medicine too!
She pulled out five bottles of potion all at once, popped off the caps, and started pouring them into her mouth right in front of the mayor.
The pain in her body was not enough to make her extremely excited, but these five bottles of potion were different.
In almost an instant, Loria felt herself igniting. Her eyes seemed to have a misty special effect, filled with a peculiar watery glow. Her red pupils also became as bright as shining gemstones.
Attribute increased by 10%.
Of course, this was not the entirety of Loria's transformation.
Her body had become strange, but it wasn't completely strange yet. So, even after drinking the love potions, she would still lose stamina like a normal person.
"Whooosh… You're done for,"
Snap!
Loria smashed the bottle onto the ground and charged towards the mayor, wielding a big sword.
"Secret potion?"
Mayor didn't pay much attention. Secret potions could bridge the gap in power, but there was no way Loria could get her hands on such a potion.
"Become my specimen."
With a swift strike, he aimed directly for Loria's throat.
Loria didn't dodge at all, and continued to swing the sword in her hand.
The large sword came crashing down straight towards the mayor's head, the gust of sword wind whistling and causing a stinging sensation on the faces.
With a sudden shift of his body, the mayor surprisingly displayed incredible speed and evaded the powerful strike just in the nick of time, only getting nicked on his arm by the edge of the sword.
"It's over!"
The mayor was ecstatic.
But just as the surgical knife passed over Loria's gripping hands, he felt a sudden jolt, as if struck by lightning, causing his hand to shake uncontrollably.
"Strength, my strength, how could it be?"
Of course, that's because not only did I gulp down five bottles of love potion in one breath, but I also suddenly activated my resilience boost, forcefully depleting a portion of my stamina!
Even if the absorption efficiency is only 20%, with your endurance alone, you can never hope to compete with me!
Loria gently pushed, causing the mayor's knife to fall to the ground.
"Beast, your final day has come!"
She raised the great sword high and swung it down heavily.
This strike, after multiple layering, held within it a power of 24 points!
"Ah!"
A wail pierced through the long night, as the mayor's right leg was severed, causing his face to pale in fear.
"Draining energy, Charm demon, are you a charm demon?!"
"Be quiet."
Loria firmly placed her foot on the mayor's chest.
But right after that came a thunderous sound.
She instinctively turned her head and saw chunks of iron flying, the heavy door being shattered into pieces. Guildmaster Adeline, holding a knight's sword, stood outside the door, looking like a fierce deity.
"Chapman, if you dare to harm Loria even a single hair, I will kill your entire family!"
