Tales of a Seductress

TOAD – Chapter 77

TOAD – Chapter 77

“What the hell do you want? Where are you taking me?” A gruff voice demanded.

There was the rattling of chains, and then the sound of someone being slugged. There was a shout, the drawing of steel, and then some more fighting. The door finally burst open, and a man was shoved through. He had a filthy beard and disheveled hair. He was wearing barely anything but rags tied together by a string rope. As soon as he was pushed through the door, he snarled and turned around. However, he didn’t make it a step before the door slammed shut.

There was the sound of the door locking. There was a sound of several locks clicking shut. The door was solid metal and extremely heavy, and after an annoyed kick, it was clear it wouldn’t budge even for a monster.

“Where am I?” The man shouted.

“You’re in the underground labyrinth under the dragon keep.” One of the guards that had brought him stated.

“Why?” He asked.

“King Oberon has been cleaning house.” One of the guards responded on the other end. “All of the prisoners are being released here. The labyrinth exits on the side of the mountain. If you make it through, your freedom is on the other side. It will be up to your ability and luck to survive.”

“This...” The prisoner’s expression turned dark for a moment, but then his eyes flashed with glee and he smirked. “This is just perfect.”

He could already hear the guards leaving, so the prisoner decided there was no point in remaining behind either. He left the spot he was in and began his struggle out of the labyrinth. True to its name, the labyrinth was a place filled with monsters, traps, and a maze of pathways. The prisoner had always been a resourceful man, though. He had lived a dangerous life on the streets, and he would have been there until this day if he hadn’t been ratted out by a certain woman. Of course, he had the last laugh. He had raped and strangled that bitch just before the guards burst through his door.

He was able to murder a band of goblins, find some equipment, and even bathe himself properly at a particularly beautiful natural mountain spring. He continued carefully, never taking any risks as he fought his way through several challenges. After an exhausting day of travel, he saw a light ahead and was sure it was the exit.

“All too easy.” He chuckled, wiping the blood off his sword and sheathing it.

He had just killed a particularly difficult monster, and his blood was pumping. It made him want to fuck a woman. When he got outside, he was going to fuck the first pretty woman he could find. Maybe, he’d get lucky and find some hot little virgin farm girl. Of course, he wasn’t going to ask her permission. The prisoner had a big dick, and a few ladies complained after she was done with them. Those that did were just a short throat squeeze away from being silenced for good.

“Ah...” I spit it out, looking up at him like my savior, my art of manipulation so close to mastery making the act indistinguishable from truth. “Thank you so much, kind sir. I was kidnapped from a nearby village. I thought I would assuredly die here. You came just in time before that monster ravished me!”

“The monster he fought was a cheap throwaway. I discovered that you could take away features from mobs to make them cost less, although the features you lost often made them less useful as a mob. One creature, the living armor, could have his intelligence removed. This made him dirt cheap, but functionally useless. In short, he’d only attack when attacked, and only until he didn’t meet any resistance.

However, my ability to seduce was all-encompassing, as was my ability to control what I seduced. This meant the living knight he had faced just before he came to me was merely me controlling a mindless living knight. I gave him a good fight before I allowed him to slay it. It wasn’t a bad practice, and I felt like learning to control proxy puppets would become important, especially if I had to deal with Devon again in the future. I wouldn’t underestimate his cloning ability, and I couldn’t help but shake the feeling I’d be dealing with him again in the future.

“You’re from a neighboring village?” he looked in disbelief.

He didn’t seem to believe that a person of my beauty would be from some random village. I was even wearing the object dampened by charm and powers, and still, my beauty seemed unnatural. However, telling a lie was as easy as breathing for the likes of me. I blushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed.

“My parents were the lords of my village. Our family bloodline has decreased far too much.” I responded with a look of shame and sadness in my eyes. “Father was going to send me to marry a lord from a better bloodline, but there is no point now. My village... my family... they’re all dead!”

I broke into tears, giant tears running down my pink cheeks. The man stared at me for a minute. I could almost hear his small brain working. I was a princess, or at least as close to one as a thug like him was like to ever find. A noble falling on hard times and a diminishing bloodline is a classic story in the demon realm. The noble would sell off his daughters, hoping that the other houses would take them in and they could retain their power just a generation longer. Of course, these had to be virgin girls, protected and sheltered from the outside world.

It was a fantasy among the hardworking commoners that such a virgin beauty would fall into their laps. In some fantasies, they did a service for the house, and so enamored by the hero’s presence, he gives his daughter’s hand. In other, darker stories, he has no choice but to sell her to disreputable men to pay his debts. Such fantasies likely really happened at least once or twice in this cruel world, but few men were lucky enough to be in a position where they could capitalize on such a decision.

“Oh?” He asked, his lips curving in a malicious smile.

I smiled back innocently. My labyrinth was full of all kinds of clever traps designed to ensnare, inconvenience, or even kill the people caught in them. I had decided that I would honor the conditions stated by the guards. If they escaped, then they would have their freedom.

However, to achieve freedom, they had one more trap they had to pass. I put in a trap more deadly than any of the others, 100% fatality, and I had put it right at the exit. It was completely optional and they could easily ignore it to achieve their freedom. Of course, I spoke of the honey trap, and so far, no one had managed to get passed it.
