The Fire Spirit will give us the treasure "Pyro Stigma"!
No, I don't need it!
If he gets it by mistake and it ends up in Lesper's hands and he takes it home, he'll become king!!
"Receive it! The mark of flame!"
A deep crimson light emanates from the Fire Spirit's fingertips.
The light stretches out in a straight line like a laser and hits me.
Where the laser hit my chest, some kind of writing was engraved on it...
"The ceremony was accomplished. The mark of flame has certainly been engraved upon you."
"Um, what is this...?"
"Don't you know? This is the mark of one who is recognized by the spirits, the emblem of this fire spirit, Napalm ."炎の聖痕Pyro Stigma
This!?
So the fire spirit's treasure isn't a tangible object but an engraved crest.
"We spirits give our seals to those we like and grant them our blessings. You who have been engraved with the Pyro Stigma will now have the blessing of flames, be able to repel any fire disasters, and gain the ability of heat, Law."
"That's a good deal..."
"My Dourui and Douhou, as well as the spirits of earth, water, wind, light and darkness, will engrave their marks on those they like. Maybe something good will happen if I obtain the seals of all six spirits."
"Maybe it's a stamp rally?"
The rune-like markings on my right chest flashed red for a moment, then darkened as if I was falling asleep.
However, the mark itself does not disappear.
It'll probably be engraved on my body for the rest of my life.
"I've received something really big...!?"
What would happen if I, his attendant, got the crest that was supposed to be given to the person taking on the King's Trial?
Hmm? That's right!
Resper must still be wandering around this volcanic region, not having obtained the Pyro Stigma!
If he were to encounter the fire spirit and, by some chance, take a liking to it...?
"Spirit-sama! You see!"
Although I was in a hurry, I explained further to the fire spirit.
The details of a pointless power struggle between humans. I wondered if it was okay to tell such mundane matters to the spirits who are beings of a higher dimension, but since it was a big deal to us, I was desperate.
Just as I thought I had managed to get my point across, despite being a bit flustered, the Spirit of Fire appeared...
"Kudaran"
He just cut it off in one word!
That's right, from the perspective of the spiritual beings who control the running of the world!
"Damn it, there's no reason for spirits to intervene in the conflicts between humans that are filled with worldly desires."
"You are absolutely right!"
"But the one who came to receive my mark at Reva's request is that guy, Rou? The one who stabbed you in the back, Rou?"
"Exactly!"
Spirit, did you witness that moment?
"It's fine to be violent, but I don't like cowards who are afraid of being attacked from behind and counterattacked. I'll never like such a despicable person, so don't worry."
"thank you!!"
So now there's zero chance that bastard Resper can become king!
Serves you right!!
"Now that you're all relieved, I'll send you off to where the real enemy is."
"Eh? Why?"
"I must seek revenge after being stabbed and nearly killed. Is it possible that the hero who bears my mark is going to just let what he has done to me remain untouched?"
This spirit is surprisingly troublesome.
To think that he would force his own ways on someone he had given his protection.
Of course, I have no intention of letting this go. If they do this to me, I'll get revenge twice as hard, but I want to take a broader view of my revenge.
Human society also has laws.
"For that reason, I would like to keep an eye on his movements...!"
"Very well. Let's move a little further away from him and keep an eye on his movements without him knowing."
"Oh, wait a moment."
The fire spirit tried to use some kind of teleportation magic, but he interrupted and embraced the flaming woman's body.
And without any hesitation he presses his lips against hers.
"Whaaat? Squish sssssssss?"
A passionate deep kiss, like a confirmation of love between lovers.
After making sure she doesn't resist, he pushes her down, spreads her legs apart to expose her thighs, and inserts his erect penis into the hole at the back.
"Ohhh♥♥ Aah♥♥ Wow aaaahhh...♥♥"
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...!
The sound of flesh slamming against the spirit's flaming body.
"Since we're here, let's have some more sex before we go. It's not often you get to experience a spirit pussy, so I want to take my time and enjoy it again."
"I'm not going to propose it after I've already put it in...♥♥ You're a helpless hero, prioritizing lust over revenge against your enemy...♥♥ However, if you think that this is your unique character as a hero, then it's right to unleash your sexual desire as you please."
"Well then, I will go ahead and use the fire spirit as my urinal and violate her."
No, since it's a fire spirit, it's not a flesh toilet but a fire toilet?
Well, either way is fine.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...!
"Oh heeeeeyyy♥♥ The pussy recreated with the aura of flames is being ravaged, uuuuuu♥♥♥♥ It is being used as a toy to satisfy human lust and carnal desires, to give rise to pleasure at will, uuuuuuu♥♥"
Although they're different from humans, sex with spirits is still great!
This pleasure is likely to awaken you to interspecies sex.
Soon after, another volcano erupted, signifying the culmination of the spirit.
◆
After enjoying some sex with the fire spirit, he decides it's time to get serious about destroying his enemy.
With the fire spirit guiding us, we went over hills and rivers and around the area, and we were able to see what looked like them in the distance.
"Be quiet. I tried my best to sneak around and get close without being noticed."
Although we were in a volcanic area, the place we were moving to was on a high, steep hill.
From there you could get a pretty good view of the scene below, and at one point you could see a lot of activity.
"Ah, it's a damn child."
Technically, he's not a prince but the Queen's nephew.
But while there's no doubt that Lesper is a bastard, he seems to be in some dangerous situation.
"Are you fighting something?"
"It's a Salamander."
It seemed that Lesper and his group were under attack by some kind of strange creature.
Something huge.
It's something wrapped in flames.
I'd been attacked by one of those guys shortly after stepping into the volcanic zone, so the second time around shouldn't be too surprising.
This was clearly something big and different from the small fireballs that had attacked first.
Big.
It was a giant flaming lizard.
It's so big that it could be called a dragon, but judging from the structure of its skeleton and the movement of its head with its tongue sticking out, it's definitely a lizard.
A giant flaming lizard - a salamander?
"Are those also Fire Spirit's minions?"
"An alter ego created by dividing my power... a Guardian."
The fire spirit, Lord Napalm, explained.
"Every once in a while, unscrupulous people infiltrate this land in an attempt to defeat me and gain fame. It's a pain to deal with them one by one, so I let those kinds of guardians wander around and automatically burn them down."
"I see...!?"
"Guardians range in strength, the first one you defeated, Hitodama, was beginner level, while that Salamander boasts high level strength. If he can defeat Salamander, I respect his bravery, and I'm willing to face him face to face."
However, it is not Resper himself who is clashing with the giant flaming lizard.
His companion is a giantess named Martha.
Even the great knight is at a loss as to how to attack the giant beast, whose entire body is engulfed in flames...
"Hey, Resper, are you just cowering in the background again instead of fighting yourself?"
I'm sure it was the same when you fought Hitodama, right?
Although he usually acts all cocky about being the leader of the Knights, he shows no signs of being of any use during the actual battle.
Hasn't he achieved many great feats as the commander of the Knights?
"Could that be...?"
Is that also false?
Could it be that he's secretly rewriting Martha's victory, who is loyal to him, to make it his own?
I can hear his roar from afar.
"What are you doing, Martha?! Crush that damn lizard! It'll be hard to rewrite later that I killed him in an instant!"
on second thoughts.
Why is Martha so devoted to him, giving up all the credit for her achievements?
Perhaps Martha's master's words make her resolve, as she throws away her weapon and embraces the giant flaming lizard!
"Gaaaaaaaaahhh!!"
What a suicidal act.
Created as the incarnation of fire, Salamander is a mass of fire himself, and if anyone comes into contact with it, they will be burned to ashes by the intense heat!
In fact, even though Martha was looking through her armor, it began to emit a red light and begin to melt, scorching her skin.
At this rate, it seemed as though Martha would end up being roasted whole, but before that could happen...!?
"Ugaaaahhh!!"
He strangled a giant flaming lizard!?
With those long, thick arms, it's like, "Crack, crack, crack!"
『Oh, you're good.』
The spirit watching over us also looks impressed.
"It's true that my clones are made from flames, so they aren't as sturdy as my real body. It's impressive how you were able to take advantage of that and crush them with a powerful attack."
However, the price is high.
Martha's entire body was exposed to the flames and she suffered severe burns all over her body, collapsing on the spot.
Even though she had risked her life to fight, her master, Resper, showed no concern...
"Ohhh, ohhhhh...!?"
He seems to be interested in something.
The remains of the Salamander had been crushed and shattered, and in the center of it all was a shining ruby-like gem?
"What's that?"
"It's the core of the Salamander. My clone needs something like that to have some kind of form, even if just a little, in order to be anchored in the material world."
Resper picked up the flame core and laughed loudly.
"This is it! This jewel must be the treasure, Pyro Stigma! Such a dazzling crimson glow! It's truly worthy of the name of a treasure!"
No, that's not it.
"So that fire dragon was the fire spirit Napalm! Defeat the spirit and obtain the treasure! Isn't that a true hero's deed?"
『Huh?』
The spirit becomes angry at the distant remark.
"How rude to lump me together with a mere clone. My strength and beauty cannot compare to Salamander's. Want to try it for yourself? Ah?"
"Spirit calm down!"
If just one Resper guy can understand, that's fine too.
At best, you can report the fakery and get declared rejected.
After enjoying everything, he finally goes over to Martha, who is half dead and has suffered severe burns all over her body.
"Kukukukukuku...! Well done, Martha. Thanks to you, I have successfully obtained the Pyro Stigma. With this, I am sure to become the next king!"
It's not "Pyro Stigma", though, that gem.
"Congratulations, Mr. Resper!"
Even after sustaining a fatal wound, he remains loyal to Resper.
Martha's dedication is actually frightening.
"You have been extremely helpful in getting me this far. Without you, I would not have been able to get this far. You are truly the person who has contributed the most to my Kingly Path."
"T-That's a shameless thing to say...!"
"That's why..."
A wicked smile never before seen appeared on Lesper's face.
"You are no longer of any use to me. Die here. That will be your final show of loyalty to me."
