Volume 3, Chapter 100 – Pierced Through

“The silver-haired Throne-tier loli is kissing a catgirl right in the middle of her decisive battle against the Beastmen Throne-tier. Anyone interested, come watch the live stream. World coordinates 976431:346763.”

While Tianyin was still completely unaware, the news about her kissing Yeluo had, under the enthusiastic promotion of those all-powerful players, gone wild on the game forum.

At this moment, the Beastmen Prophet, who felt he had been insulted, also went all out, using elemental power to launch a carpet bombing toward Tianyin and Yeluo.

However, to everyone’s utter shock, the Prophet’s countless attacks vanished without a trace the instant they drew near Yeluo and Tianyin.

Still completely oblivious to the outside world, Tianyin could not help but be immersed in this kiss with Yeluo.

Of course, using the word “immersed” was a bit much, since Tianyin was also passive in this, but to Tianyin, this kiss felt completely different from the kiss she had shared with Xiaobingxue before.

They were both girls, but because Xiaobingxue was Undead, her lips were relatively cold. With no warmth, what Tianyin felt was a sweetness like ice cream.

Yeluo, though, carried a faint warmth. Because Yeluo was among the living, while they were kissing, Tianyin could feel the girl’s breath right in front of her.

And that pair of arms holding her tightly, that unusually warm embrace.

“Wuu…”

After a long while, just as Tianyin felt like she was about to run out of air, Yeluo finally let go of her lips.

However, although she let go of the kiss, Yeluo did not loosen her hold around Tianyin.

After this unexpected kissing incident finally ended, Tianyin also realized that the Yeluo holding her had suddenly become unbelievably weak.

“Sister Yeluo, you…”

“Xiaoyin… from here on, I’ll leave it to you. The power of the Seven Original Sins, Gluttony, I’ve already returned it to where it belongs…”

The catgirl before her showed a pale smile.

“Eh?”

Only now did Tianyin react and realize that just now, their kiss was not simply because Yeluo wanted to kiss her. Yeluo had wanted to send the power of Gluttony to her.

“Sister Yeluo… if you forcefully give that power to me… then you, maybe you will…”

“It’s fine, Xiaoyin. It’s understandable that you didn’t know about this kind of thing… but to me, if I can help you this time… then that’s wonderful.”

“Eh?”

She did not understand why Yeluo was talking like this, but the sense of weakness coming from the cat-eared girl in front of her was undeniably real.

For no clear reason, Tianyin suddenly thought of how she had gotten the power of Greed.

Because the Undead Grand Duke Samael had died, the power of Greed, which had lost its host, had been able to return.

In that case…

“Sister Yeluo, don’t tell me…”

A bad premonition rose in Tianyin’s heart.

“Well… let’s not talk about it anymore. From here on, with the power of Gluttony, I believe you can definitely defeat that Throne-tier.”

“Wuu… but, but…”

“Xiaoyin!”

The weak cat-eared girl looked at Tianyin with a seriously firm expression.

“I… I got it!”

Even though a heavy unease filled her heart, Tianyin knew that now was not the time for her to hesitate.

“Xiaobingxue… please take Sister Yeluo back for me!”

As she made up her mind, Tianyin directly handed the utterly weakened Yeluo over to Xiaobingxue, who was already suppressing the Beastmen Legendary so completely he had no ability to fight back.

Watching Xiaobingxue carry off the weakened Yeluo, Tianyin’s gaze turned once more to the Prophet, who was staring this way with a grave expression.

『Samael… since we already have Gluttony, can we deal with that Throne-tier over there?』

「The power of Gluttony has extended our time to ten minutes, and from now on our attacks will also carry damage to the soul. If the other side keeps maintaining elementalization, he won’t be able to withstand our attacks at all.」

『I see… I understand… I’ll be counting on you from here on, Samael.』

「Leave it to me.」

Tianyin’s eyes closed slightly, and in the instant they opened again, that soul-seizing crimson once more surfaced.

“Ha… just now, you sure seemed to be having a lot of fun beating me up, didn’t you?”

The corners of her mouth lifted into a wicked smile, and the Throne-tier battle that had temporarily gone still immediately began again.

This time, the Prophet keenly noticed that elementalization no longer worked on Tianyin, so from the very start he dispelled it and returned to a normal state.

But even though his reaction was very fast, with the power of Gluttony strengthening her, the battle potential Tianyin could display was already far greater than before.

And as the weakest Throne-tier in one-on-one fights, the Prophet, in front of this enhanced version of Tianyin, had gone from previously having almost no way to fight back to now being one-sidedly beaten down by Tianyin.

“This… She just got one kiss and suddenly she’s stronger?”

“Feels like she turned into a different person. What the heck is going on?”

The confused players chattered nonstop. Anyone with eyes could see that, after being kissed by that catgirl who had appeared out of nowhere, that silver-haired Throne-tier loli had clearly become even stronger.

As the person involved, only Tianyin herself knew why she had become so strong.

“Die die die!”

Like a raging storm, the slashes so fast that the naked eye could hardly track them tore the space around the Prophet countless times in the span of a single second.

At this moment, although the Prophet was still stubbornly defending against Tianyin’s attacks with various elemental powers, he could not deny that he had already been injured by Tianyin’s blows.

“Ugh…”

With a muffled groan, under Tianyin’s ever-faster attacks, the Prophet was finally run through by a single sword.

Blood wrapped in elemental power surged madly from the hole in his body where the blade had pierced him. The Beastmen Prophet’s face finally turned deathly pale.

“Prophet!”

The Beastmen King, who had been seated below overseeing the battle, finally let out a cry of disbelief.

Not only that, at the instant the Prophet’s body was pierced by Tianyin’s sword, all the Beastmen soldiers present stopped what they were doing and, in unison, looked blankly up at the bleeding Beastmen Prophet in the sky.

“You lost.”

Looking at the deathly pale face of the Prophet before her, Tianyin’s crimson eyes were incomparably cold, and her voice was just as indifferent.

“Lose then lose. Winner is king, loser is bandit. Since we have already lost, then I won’t offer any further resistance.”

Even with his body run through by a sword and his face pale, the Prophet once again recovered an utterly calm expression.

“I will not resist, but please, spare our Beastmen… after I die, there will no longer be a Throne-tier at this Stronghold, so it will no longer be a threat to you, and you can wipe out this expeditionary army here as well, but… please leave our Beastmen race a final spark of life…”

“Alright.”

Looking at the Prophet before her, who had resolved himself to calmly face death, Tianyin answered coldly.
