In the midst of the sharp debris and dust all flying around thickly, Julia was safely protected within Legion’s arms as she began to blink. There was a feeling of being gently pulled along through the dense fog.
“Why—are you surprised?”
“No, it’s just—for some reason, it feels a little familiar.”
“It felt rather familiar? Why suddenly…”
Legion’s gaze immediately narrowed as he stared at the cave-like expanse just beyond that collapsed cliff. Then, out of nowhere, he soon cried out.
“No, get away!”
“Kyaaak!”
Numerous magical tentacles had rushed towards Julia amidst the murky dust. Legion released his mana at once as he blocked them, but a few had missed through the gaps before they strongly snatched upon Julia’s slender body.
“Uh-huk, it hurts…!”
“Damn it, I can’t let go right now!”
Each of her waist, thighs and limbs were all bound, so no matter how much she wiggled her body around, she still couldn’t move. On the contrary, it grew even tighter.
While Legion was hesitating himself to attack as he feared that Julia might get hurt, the black tentacles then pulled onto her wildly. It was such a fast movement that she could clearly feel the pressure of gravity.
The blue light that was emitted by Legion had become covered in dust in just the blink of an eye before it faded away. Julia was now being dragged endlessly into the far, deep cave. In a space that was so dark where she could not even properly distinguish all her surroundings, Julia finally took out the system window.
However, the brightly shone effect soon faded away as well. She eventually recalled that the system had already remarked for her to use the skills carefully.
‘I haven’t even encountered the demonic crystal yet. And if I can’t simply use the skills when it’s really important……’
The attack was so sudden that she couldn’t even afford to increase her own strength. In addition, SP—unlike HP—could not be forcibly raised, so there was a clear limit to it as well.
Julia focused herself on the sound of the swift wind that brushed against her ears as she clenched her trembling fists. At some point, the light outside was absolutely gone and the entire space had already turned into such complete darkness.
Unlike the hallucinatory labyrinth and even when the system window was deployed, she still couldn’t perceive at all.
‘The sound of the wind has changed. And it sounds like something is hitting a huge wall too.’
Julia eventually realized that she had passed through a long aisle before she was stopped in an open space.
She twisted her body to see if she could move at that moment, but the tentacles were still entangling over her body and she couldn’t move.
“Let me go, please.”
Every time she struggled, she could clearly feel her tender skin was scratching and tearing against the stone floor. Even so, she had been so tired and she still couldn’t move at all. At that moment of despair, Julia suddenly felt a rather strange touch. Something cool and sticky was slowly creeping up the inside of her thighs.
Julia stopped moving at once. In such a hot, humid cave, she could not think of anything else with a long, sleek body without any legs.
“Could it be a snake…?”
Julia sharpened her hearing, but she couldn’t hear anything else other than the sound of the wind. Instead, the cool thing eventually stuck its head into her skirt. Her negligee was soon lifted and the damp moisture softly clung onto her bare thighs.
Her breathing became more and more rapid. A blunt tip was moving slowly yet steadily near to her secret part. She wanted to pull her legs together, but the more she gave strength to it, the wider her thighs were eventually spread.
“Ah, uht.”
It wasn’t until her legs were completely wide open that her head froze like some cold water had been dumped upon it. This was the same posture when two were to share intimate relations with. Therefore, it was no ordinary animal that could actually make her this way.
Perhaps it was to inform that her guess was obviously correct, something had pounded the thin cloth that was covering her secret part. Her entire body trembled in fear at the fact that an unknown entity could suddenly break through the fabric and enter at any moment.
“I, item.”
Julia could barely move her stiff tongue, but she still wasn’t able to see anything in front of her. Nevertheless, just because one couldn’t see it, it never meant that it didn’t exist at all and she was clearly reminded of the existence that still had her entire body bound completely.
She reiterated on her own that she would never give up no matter what scene was unfolding before her eyes. So, she finally opened her mouth at that moment.
“Luminous flowers!”

The pitch-black darkness straight away retreated in the blink of an eye and the existence that was just about to assault her also disappeared like a mirage. Having regained her freedom once again, Julia was finally able to ascertain the place that she had been brought to. In return, her eyelids opened wide in shock.
‘Why is there a place that’s absolutely identical to the Demon God’s Tower right over here?’
A vast space, a pitch-black ceiling as well as floor, tall and massive pillars, a magic circle that was tightly covered the floor along with an altar in the center. Everything was exactly the same, but only the magic stone did not exist.
However, Julia soon discovered something rather strange. Thanks to the light emitted by the luminous flowers, everything had been clearly visible and the center of the altar was illuminated too. There was a dark shadow just like a swallowing black hole. It was an absolute pure darkness—unmixed—along with an only single color, just like the tentacles that drew her in.
“That’s not really the magic crystal. The core of this place… Then, is it truly the demonic crystal that had kidnapped me here?”
Wasn’t the demonic crystal just another artifact that merely contained magical power? It was utterly impossible for an inanimate object to kidnap and oppress people just akin to an intelligent being with a will—even in this Demon World.
