Chapter 1332: Dark Palace (2)

Come to think of it, something similar has also happened before.

Looking at the warm, petite, and constantly-wriggling body under him, Rhode couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly and recall that similar moment between him and Celestina. Back then, Celestina looked down on him and even provoked him, so Rhode immediately seized the opportunity to let her have a taste of his power. Thereafter, she looked at him as if he were her father’s murderer. However, he ignored her and occasionally came up with new tricks to force her into compliance.

In the beginning, she held a non-cooperative and abusive attitude, but as time passed, her attitude softened gradually and she became one who, though insisting on rejecting his advances, remained very honest with her bodily reactions. Once in a while, she would shun away from her sisters and make out with him. Rhode wasn’t a roundworm in her stomach, so naturally he couldn’t read her thoughts. But he was certain that her attitude toward him leaned more toward the positive side. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have sneaked in and taken the initiative to make out with him.

Honestly, he was more interested in Celestina’s mental world. And now, this petite version of her was clearly as much a part of her mental projection as Celia’s was in her mental world. However, he had yet to figure out which part of the original projection this petite version of her embodied. After all, demons and angels were different, and it wasn’t surprising that Celia held childish innocence within her heart. But if Celestina were to also hold such childish innocence, it would be a totally different story. Despite that… He couldn’t be too sure either.

Anyway, I will know the answer after going for it.

At this thought, Rhode curled up the corner of his lips. He extended his right hand and seized her slender leg that kept stamping on him. He had to admit that even though the kicks didn’t hurt one bit, she was really vicious, where almost all of her kicks targeted his ‘manhood’. She looked so aggressive and fierce as though she was determined to turn him into an eunuch.

Despite that, Rhode was no pushover either. If she were someone ordinary to him, he would have perhaps crippled her on the spot. But as the Void Dragon, his constitution was also naturally much stronger than most people’s, so no matter how much force she put into her thrusts, they felt nothing more like massages to him. Not only that, but instead of them feeling like a form of resistance, it was more appropriate to say that her soft foot was seducing him even more…

“Let me go, you pig! Pervert! Disgusting man! Bast*rd! Rogue! Lecher! What are you trying to do to me?!”

But at that moment, the little Celestina didn’t notice that danger was coming. Although her hands were firmly grasped by Rhode, she couldn’t stop twisting her body and struggling to try to get away from him. Her pair of slender legs just couldn’t stop stomping on his crotch. At the same time, she glared at him with her scarlet eyes burning in unyielding, intense anger. But upon seeing her furious eyes, he had no intention of letting go of her at all. On the contrary, he smiled, freed his left hand, and slammed it downward, grabbing her soft and sleek foot in one hand.

“Yelp———! Pervert! Lecher! Let go of me! Hurry up and let go of me! What are you doing?!”

“What am I doing? What do you think, Miss? I almost turned into roasted meat because of you earlier, and as a form of courtesy, I should thank you properly for that, shouldn’t I?”

“That’s because you’re too stupid. How can an average person fall for that? That is the rightful consequence for a human as stupid as you! Hmph! I am very powerful! If you don’t let go of me, I’ll show you how great I am! When that time comes, I’ll make you regret it completely!”

Although a frightened expression appeared on her face, the little Celestina was still incomparably stubborn. She gnashed her teeth, raised her head willfully, and glared at Rhode. But as soon as he sensed her gaze, Rhode, however, revealed a meaningful smile.

“Is that so? Then I shall see how long you can hold out on me.”

“Hmph, I will not be afraid no matter what you do! You are just a human, so don’t get too cocky!”

Celestina, whose leg was grabbed by Rhode, resisted more violently now. However, the latter also lay on top of her, suppressing her resistance entirely. Soon after, his left hand climbed up her perfectly-curved leg that was wrapped in the black garter belt stocking. And upon sensing his touch, the expression on her face began to change from being furious to overwhelmed and dazed. Not only that, but Rhode also spotted some fear and anxiety in her eyes.

Her struggles weren’t as intense as before not because she resigned herself to her fate but because the sudden and unknown sensation made her lose the ability to think. She had no idea what to do in the face of this assault that was beyond her knowledge and experience. But at that moment, Rhode’s left hand had already found its way up her smooth, soft thigh and into her skirt.

“No! Stop!”

Feeling the extraordinary thrill, the little Celestina yelled out abruptly. She wriggled her waist to avoid his fingers, but there was no way for her to escape his ambush. At that moment, a layer of mist had even permeated from her scarlet eyes. It was obvious that although she was Celestina’s mental projection, knowledge in this area clearly wasn’t shared with her by the original self. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to show such an expression.

Just by looking at her expression before him, Rhode was certain that she was still a virgin. In this regard, women’s expressions couldn’t escape his eyes. The first experience was always very precious to them, and this wasn’t just the line of a moralist, but was a fact instead. Some women might be able to fake their first night to deceive men who had little experience with women, but in front of the experienced Rhode, their acting skills were ineffective in the slightest. That was why he could tell at a glance that this little Celestina was deeply fearful and uneasy about what he was doing to her. It was just something that could be disguised. It could also be said that from this aspect, this little Celestina was almost as pure as the little queen inside Celia.

But… It was also kind of odd to describe a demon as being pure and whatnot.

Upon looking at the little face before him that almost broke into tears, Rhode had a hard time adapting to her reaction. When he first met Celestina, he realized that she was really good at using her charm to seduce mortals, where even at the beginning, she conspired to turn him into her faithful servant. But thanks to his experience in dealing with demons in the game, he quickly exposed her scheme. Although the fact that Celestina was a virgin surprised him, other than that, he didn’t have a problem with her because he knew it was the demons’ nature to seduce mortals. To put it bluntly, a high demon like Celestina had already learned to seduce, corrupt, and subjugate mortals even when she was still in her mother’s womb. This was how it was with the demons, not to mention a high demon like Celestina, which wasn’t any more surprising.

That was why upon seeing this Celestina who resembled a pure angel in the mental world, Rhode was all the more uncomfortable.

As for how exactly she behaves, I shall see what happens…

With this thought, not only did Rhode not stop his action in the face of her struggle, but he also went further and caressed her instead. His fingers slithered between her legs, rubbing rhythmically without stopping. And upon feeling his actions, the little Celestina’s face showed a troubled and shocked expression.

“Wait, you pervert! Pervert! Where do you think you’re touching?! Help, Father! There’s a pervert doing strange things to me! Stop right now! Let go of me..! Mmm… It’s so itchy. Why is it so itchy… W-Wait. What are you doing?! You bast*rd! Don’t… Touch there. I feel really… Mmm…”

Along with Rhode’s actions, a blush appeared across her originally fair and delicate cheeks. Her body wriggled as she also held and rubbed his fingers instinctively.

“What’s going on with this feeling? It’s so hot… So unbearable… And yet so comfortable… Mmm… No, you can’t touch there. It feels so weird like something is coming out… No, no, no…! Ahhhhh!”

With a deep and loud moan, Celestina’s petite body shuddered all of a sudden, her slender waist thrusting upward before falling heavily onto the bed. Soon after, a clear, viscous liquid trickled down her thighs, leaving a trail of water stains on the otherwise clean, soft bed. And upon looking at the girl who collapsed on the bed weakly with dazed eyes like a doll whose strings were cut off, Rhode smiled triumphantly. Then, he withdrew his left hand, only to see on his fingers glistening with body fluids reflecting vaguely in the light of flames.

“How’s that, little rascal?”

“Mmm… Mmm…”

The little Celestina, who just returned from her daze, heard Rhode speaking proudly. In response, she blushed with shame and indignation, staring at him with wide eyes of dissatisfaction. She opened her small mouth, but as it was too intense earlier, she couldn’t say a word. And upon seeing her in this state, Rhode felt even more amused.

The reason why he dared to do such a thing to her was that in reality, the connection between them was strong enough. Earlier, he was overcautious in Celia’s mental world because the connection between them still wasn’t deep enough. Meanwhile, he and Celestina had a rather connected and intimate relationship, so in her mental world, he was naturally bolder and more open. But now, after seeing the little Celestina who gave him a completely different impression and actually showed such an adorable reaction, he couldn’t help but feel a little interested.

For the little Celestina, the thrill was indeed a little too much for her to handle. After a short while, she climbed up from the bed, while tears welled up in her scarlet eyes as she stared at him in displeasure and anger. Despite that, Rhode was rather thick-skinned as he didn’t say a word. And upon seeing his reaction, the little Celestina became increasingly furious.

“Scram, get out of here!”

Along with her bellow, Rhode felt as if an invisible hand had grabbed him and at the next moment, along with winds whistling past his ears, the scenery before his eyes changed abruptly. It was only after a moment that he finally stood firmly on the ground. But now, what appeared in front of him was no longer the luxurious bedroom from before, but the stone corridor that he was tired of looking at earlier instead. At that moment, the corridor still seemed as endless as before, as though extending into eternal darkness.

“Oops, I didn’t expect her to get so angry.”

Rhode wasn’t too surprised at the treatment he received. And he was also well aware that Celestina hadn’t really banished him. It was apparent that she was bewildered. Otherwise, she could have just kicked him out like this long ago when he first laid hands on her, instead of waiting until he was done with all the manhandling. Judging from that, it could be seen that the little Celestina harbored some feelings for him. The mental projections in this world might not be aware of who Rhode was, but they inherited the trust they had toward him from their original selves.

“Either way, it looks like I have to keep walking.”

Of course, Rhode wasn’t going to just stand here and wait. After all, he still hadn’t confirmed which side of Celestina that little Celestina represented in reality. Was she an embodiment like the little queen in Celia’s mental world? Or a completely new mental projection? The mental world was just this complicated. And everyone’s unique personalities caused their mental worlds to be entirely different as well. For instance, Celestina’s mental projection earlier was somewhat confusing for Rhode. Although he had prepared himself mentally, he didn’t meet the Celestina he expected, at least for now. It was true that the little Celestina was a bit cunning, but through his experiment earlier, he determined that she lacked the ferocity and violence of a demon. In that case, it meant to him that the most dangerous part of this journey in the mental world had yet to come.

But now, it wasn’t the time to think about that. Soon after, Rhode collected his thoughts and ambled along the pitch-black, stone-made corridor. Unlike before, this time the corridor showed a noticeable change. Not only was there no more of those complicated intersections and corners, and the murals were also gone. Instead, along with his advancement, what appeared on the sides of the walls was more weapons as well as torture props.

Looking at the bloody torture props hanging on the walls, Rhode’s relaxed mood became heavy. Moreover, as he advanced, the originally scorching place turned much colder at some point. White, bone-chilling mist replaced the flames and heat that shrouded the world around him. There was even a faint layer of frost that surfaced on the ground and walking along this path made him feel as though he were walking in a chilly morgue.

Shortly after, a door made of steel appeared before him. It was rusty and stained with blood all over. The large, razor-sharp teeth made it look like the tightly-closed mouth of a monster. As soon as it opened, it would mercilessly devour all life.

Seems like this is where my next trouble is at.

Looking at the steel door in front of him, Rhode remained silent for a moment, before walking forward, reaching out his hand, and pushing the door open. Along with this action, the rusty door creaked sharply and opened slowly. It was so dark inside that no traces of light were seen. But even so, he pushed the door open and entered the room. As soon as he entered the room, the steel door closed behind him in a whirring sound. He was enfolded by the boundless darkness.

Soon after, he heard a click. And a dazzling light filled his vision all of a sudden.

An ice-cold, melodious voice sounded in his ears.

“Oh, my, a strong man is here as a guest this time. How interesting. Let me see what you’re made of, human.”
