11 Chapter Eleven

Should I be surprised that she got pissed at my refusal? Eh, what did she expect? I'm not gonna give my soul that easily.

With a small frown, she closed her mouth. We stayed silent for a few seconds, none of us muttering a word. Granted, I don't want to say anything because this aroma will probably engulf my nervous system even more.

"It's a shame," She said, "You know, I'm surprised you managed to dodge my initial attack. Those attacks almost took my entire energy. Furthermore, I'm even more surprised you managed to stay awake in this room. This aroma calms the mind to the point most humans aren't even able to think properly, and most of them just fall asleep."

Oh? Well, It is definitely calming my mind, a bit too much, to be completely honest. Hell, I feel like sleeping a bit, which is going to be a problem if she decides to fight now.

"Oh well~"

Uh oh, that tone of hers kinda freaks me out.

"You'll fall for me, sooner or later, even if by force~"

*Rumble*

...! Shit! Here it comes!

Two more vines drilled through the ground, and appeared beside her, waiting for her command.

"I'll give you a choice, as I don't want to hurt you." She reaches her hand out, "Become one with me. Together, we'll make a beautiful flower, and eventually travel to the underworld, where our souls will forever exist there."

Doesn't really sound that compelling, lady. Was that supposed to change my mind?

Noticing my silence, the girl tsked, and simply shrugged.

"Don't say I didn't give you a choice."

*Vroom!*

Ah shit.

I took a deep breath and held it. The aroma affected my mind a bit, but it's better than constantly breathing it in.

The vines launched towards me at lightning speed. I don't have my third eye here, but fortunately, their speed is slower than before. I bit my tongue roughly and regained my focus. Fuck, this environment is going to be a bit of a problem.

Just as the vines were about to reach me, with minimal movement, I bend my body to the left, and dodged the first vine, while the second one was dodged by me simply ducking.

...Huh. Not only are they slower, but they aren't as precise as well. It's like dodging a ball being kicked toward you, as weird as that example is. A bit difficult, sure, but doable. Perhaps she really did use all of her energy. Despite their speed, they are rather thin. Sure, they are fast, but not the speed of sound fast. As such, dodging them isn't that big of a problem.

Of course, the attacks didn't stop there. The vine that I ducked suddenly strikes down on me, but just as easily, I managed to dodge by rolling further to the left.

One complaint I have is the room itself. The ground is entirely littered with vines, and I have to watch out for my footing, otherwise, I might just slip and get caught by those vines. Actually, I have another complaint, It's a bit hard to dodge while holding my breath.

The vines continue to attack me, and surprisingly, I managed to dodge all of them.

"Hmm..." The girl let out a hum, and suddenly, all the hair on my stood on their end.

Shit! Something is coming.

I turned my gaze toward her while dodging the vines, watching out for any potential attack. My hand instinctively went towards my gun, and just as I was about to pull it out, my eyes met hers.

*Ting!*

...?

What... the hell? My mind... feels fuzzy... It's like, I just want to take off all my clothing and just hug this girl...

Not only that, but I can feel... a certain tightness in my pants...

What the hell is this...?!

[The following Flora used "Mind Rape"!]

...? A voice, similar to Zero in a way, ringed inside my mind. Shit, the hell is all of this?! I'm already surprised by this new strange move, and now suddenly Zero's voice is in my head?

Ah, whatever. I'll think about it later, I need to focus on this!

I bit my tongue fiercely, giving me a sudden jolt of pain, and a lot of blood started dripping from my mouth.

[The following effect "Mind Rape" has been partially resisted!]

Ah, stop it! That voice is distracting me, god damn it!

I get it, I get it, Mind rape or whatever.

"Hmm...!" The girl groaned a bit, a small frown starting to appear on her face. She raised her hand, and this time, one of the vines suddenly increased in speed. I exhaled, and took another breath.

Barely, just barely, I managed to dodge it, but the second one was impossible to dodge, mostly due to my clumsy body not being able to respond in time due to the aroma.

*Feoow!*

Eh?

It didn't directly injure me. Instead, it's... trying to take my pants off!

Immediately, I brought out the gun just as it reached.

*Feoow*

Crap, there goes my pants, and... my boxers.

"Hmm~" A small smile began to form on the girl's face as she gazed at my treasure, the lust in her eyes just increasing even more.

Oi, oi, was that really your intention since the beginning?! Stop staring at it like that, damn it!

She raised her hand once more, and I could tell, her index finger slightly twitched.

*Vroom!*

It wasn't the vine that launched at me. Instead, one of the vines suddenly grew a flower, and launched toward me at lightning speed, much faster than the vines themselves.

No- rather, they weren't exactly aimed at me, they aimed at my...

Ah, shit.

Shit, shit, shit! Dodge, come on body, dodge!

*Bling*

Ooooooooh, fuck!

Ngh, what the hell is this?!

The flower suddenly latched onto my penis, and increased in size, as if adjusting to it. And at a nightmarish strength, it began to suck.

*Slurp*

Ugh, as if the aroma wasn't enough, now I have a god-damn flower sucking my dick.

I grabbed it with strength and tried to latch it off.

"Get away, shoo! Get the hell away from it!" I blurted out unconsciously, causing a bit more aroma to go into my body. I just want this shit off of me!

Don't get me wrong, it feels great. But that's exactly the problem here.

*Vroom!*

? Ah shit, really?

The vines launched towards me once more. I bit my tongue even stronger than before, and by some miracle, I managed to dodge them.

Am I really going to be fighting and dodging with this thing latched onto my cock?

Really? Was the sickening aroma not enough?

Well, clearly not, as the vines continue to attack me. Thankfully, their speed is slower than before. Her energy must be running thin, I'm sure.

...

After a few moments of constant dodging, and steeling my willpower to not come into this flower, I finally managed to lop it off.

"Ngh, screw you!" I threw the flower with fury toward the ground, and immediately aimed my gun at the girl. I couldn't get an opening before due to her constant attacks, the aroma, the environment, and the fact that I had to keep my breath. But for some reason, the vines suddenly stopped attacking me. This was a golden opportunity.

Time to test this baby out!

*Bang*

Umm.

I've come to a shocking realization today. The magical bullets... are much slower than normal ones. So much slower in fact, that a new set of vines came from the ground and blocked the bullet.

Silver lining? At least I didn't miss my first shot. I'm not as bad at marksmanship as I thought! Man, this will boost my ego a lot.

Still, what the hell is this gun? It's like a nerf gun!

The bullet tore off a chunk of the vine that blocked it, but it simply disappeared into particles. The girl didn't have a scowl on her face, rather, she didn't even react to my attack. Instead, her eyes were fixated on the flower.

A small vine appeared from the ground, grabbing the flower-fleshlight-thing and giving it to the girl.

What are you planning to do with that thing?

She licked her lips, as her smile only grew, turning into a devilish one.

Oi, oi, I don't like that smile at all!

I frantically shot another bullet, but it was blocked once more. What the hell is the use of this thing?! Sure it's powerful, but it's as slow as a snail!

The girl, once more, didn't acknowledge the shot, and simply stuck her tongue out.

Woah.

That tongue is... something else. It was long, and slithered like a snake. Damn it, I can't get aroused again!

But wait, what are you...

Her tongue slowly went towards the flower, itching closer to its hole.

...Please don't lick it.

Please.

Her tongue suddenly increased in speed, as it ravaged and searched through the hole of the flower.

Ah, why? What is wrong with you?

"Mmm~"

Ew.

After a while, she finally brought her tongue back, licking her lips deviously. Her smile only grew, and her breathing became a bit more frantic.

"Hah~ It's over now. I've already got a taste of it, and now, I will not be able to mate or combine with any other human except for you."

Uh, what?

Giggling, she continued, "I've marked your soul. Even if you managed to survive this encounter, I'll follow you to the end of times. We're soulmates now, and the only way you can remove this marking is if you killed me. But of course," Her giggle became louder, "You won't be able to achieve that. Not with that puny gun."

Woah, wait. Shit, she really just marked my soul by simply licking that flower thing? I didn't even come into that thing! What kind of witchcraft is this?

Damn, can other monsters do this as well?

"Now," She gave me a bright smile, and opened her arms for a hug, "Come here, farling~", and of course, the vines launched towards me once more.
