Inside the Cave of Obscenity (WN): Volume 5 - Final

 

Final Episode: Things that Keep on Growing

"It looks like Satia was brought to Lishlua. She's been with the Black Ooze for a long time, and I wonder if she's going to be guarded for the rest of her life, like an important criminal?"

 There was no reply to those words.

 The dimly lit space was dusty, and the owner of the voice, the blonde female mage Frederica, did not like this place very much.

 An old ruin in Grabalt. The place where the hero's sword was enshrined.

 It was a good place to hide, as no one would approach the ruins now that the hero's sword was in Mariabelle's hands.

 If she went into the forest, she could find food, and there was a river flowing nearby, so she could cleanse herself.

 A short walk away was the border connecting Lishlua and Grabalt, so if there was anything she wanted, she could go to the village there and get it.

 Though she was getting bored. But Frederica had no intention of leaving this monster.

"Sa, tia..."

"Yes, Satia. Do you remember me? I'm your mother, Alfred."

 The monster that Frederica called Alfred emitted a "voice".

 The voice was hard to hear, with a mixture of muddy sounds, but the words were clear, and they could communicate with each other.

 The monster was standing on two legs.

 Its body was black, almost grayish-black, and the light from the torch on the other side was faintly visible through it.

 It also had two arms.

 It was a head taller than Frederica and had a head above its shoulders.

 It was human-shaped, a slime.

 The slime that had gained a new will through Mariabelle's blood, had taken on a human form, and the new child born from Meltia's ovum had taken on a more human appearance.

 ――In the monster's left arm was a shield.

 Hero's shield―― the shield of the hero recovered three months ago when the Black Ooze was still alive.

 As the Black Ooze and the humanoid worked separately, Frederica and Satia also separated.

 The broken Satia recognized the Black Ooze as Alfred and chose to stay with it.

 Frederica, curious about the ever-evolving humanoid form, visited Fonteau to see what the new beast, born from the blood and ovum of the daugthers of the hero and recovered the hero's shield.

 The hero's shield was said to protect against all attacks. A trump card for defeating the Demon King, given by the Goddess.

 ......It was equipped by the monster in front of her.

 What does that mean?

 Frederica was overcome by the excitement and emotion of seeing how far her child had grown.

 At the same time, she felt an inexplicably powerful "male".

 A strong man who was second to none.

 Frederica, who was proud of her beauty, was attracted to beings stronger than her, and she, who had been subdued by the Black Ooze, was devoted to the slime.

 The existence that surpassed the Black Ooze.

 A monster that could wear a hero's equipment, the natural enemy of monsters.

 ......The humanoid turned to Frederica as usual.

The Black Ooze had the instinct of monsters and creatures and increased the number of its kind.

 It was a mutation that was born because the demon king was destroyed and monsters were on the verge of extinction.

 Then, what about the humanoid?

 The Humanoid had little intention of having more children.

 Perhaps because it was born from the blood and ovum of a hero, its will was close to that of a human being, and it lived in hiding in these old ruins, suppressing unnecessary killing.

 What was the significance of its existence?

 However, Frederica thought.

"……Come."

 With her beautiful naked body glowing in the torchlight, she opened her arms and exposes her pubic area―― accepting the humanoid.

 ......This "man" was the best.

 Even today, Frederica was embraced by the humanoid. It was powerful and violent enough to destroy her delicate female body and was violated over and over again so much that she fainted.

 That was fine for now.

 That was all she needed.

 The Black Ooze was destroyed and Satia was captured.

 Then, one day, they too would perish―― that was how she felt, but for now, she was immersed in pleasure to forget everything.
