''Yes, master.''

''We understand.''

Inside Ragan's tent, all slaves were freed of their shackles but they still had their collars. Every one of them was kneeling on the floor, in front of their new and only master, Jake Farlen.

Surprisingly, Jake's Will attribute had a slight growth from the time he advanced to the 4th Circle. That's why, he didn't feel dizzy or out of will even after corrupting so many beastkin.

About two hours had passed. Jake had told Erin to come and take 006 to the mayor's mansion.

He had also taught the slaves here how to communicate by burning their blood. Of course, the majority of them failed to do it correctly except for some beastkin who knew Wild Magic.

However, with the basics noted down, they would practice it daily and learn eventually. Jake had just finished telling them his orders on what to do after a noble man or woman buys them.

As it was impossible to trust a slave without a collar, they would still have it and be restrained by it. Even with a collar on though, their loyalty to Jake wouldn't change.

They just had to act 'loyal' in front of their buyers. None of these slaves had any combat professions, but they would be good spies. For robbers and assassins, Jake planned to corrupt a better-suited batch of slaves in Cheshire.

''You will be directly under Ragan. Every week, each of you will provide him with reports of any political or money-related thing you heard,'' Jake said.

The slave trader was quick enough to infer what his master meant by this. His job would be to filter out the reports and pass the most important and concerning news to Jake.

''We are honored, master,'' the slaves recited at once.

''Hmm.'' Jake nodded and told them to return to their cages.

''Give them some food and water. Present the slaves well and capable so that the nobles would be more inclined to buy them.''

With this order, Jake walked toward the tent's exit, but he suddenly stopped.

''Oh, I almost forgot.'' He turned around and headed to the tent where the sex slaves were heading. It wouldn't hurt to fuck them for some extra points and enjoyment.

…

''Mnmm… Mghmgh…''

The sound was rather loud. Everyone looked disturbed.

''Fuck, this meat is so good… Mrrnmm~''

006 munched on the chicken leg, sitting alone in front of a dining table. The mayor's servants were standing at the corners of the room. There were two maids behind her, asking if she needed anything.

''Fuck yes. Bring those juicy, fat meat slices!'' She turned around and ordered with a large smile.

Being able to eat freely was something she'd only dreamed about. Not to mention staying inside this large mansion and ordering maids.

''That Jake guy is fucking rich…'' 006 looked around with a full mouth. The slave girl had thought it was going to be another hell after that scary red-eyed woman brought her here.

Who would have thought she would get to eat like this? Back at the tent, that fucking pimp only gave her a bowl of vegetable broth.

''I hope his balls fall off or something… No, I hope he gets caught and hanged on a cross in public, then uh… a big man with a hammer hits his fucking groin, making it a paste of blood and flesh…'' 006 muttered, remembering the shit she had to go through. This was not the first time she had cursed like this.

Outside the dining room, Ruxa and Erin looked at each other and back at the beastkin girl who wore a school uniform.

''What did he say about her?''

''Master? Nothing, just told me to take her here and give her something to eat,'' Erin replied.

''From the looks of it, she's a slave. Does she have some special powers? Why would he be interested in her?'' Ruxa folded her hands.

''Look at her ears,'' Erin pointed. ''She's a panther kin. It's hard to find one in the whole continent. They are almost extinct.''

Leaning closer, the gorgon squinted her eyes and stared at the slave girl. She also noticed the number 006 on her collar.

''So he brought her because of her rarity? Maybe he's planning to sell her for a big sum…''

''Or maybe he just wants to fuck her, we both know how he is. Look at this girl's body and face.'' Erin pouted, suddenly feeling that her position might be in danger. She was always the competitive and aggressive type.

Ruxa chuckled and let out an evil laugh, glancing at the beautiful panther girl. ''We'll see what she has to offer…''

…

Paht! Paht! Pahh!

Clapping noises resounded inside the tent. Jake held the metallic chain connected with a slave girl's collar and fucked her in a doggy position.

''Ahh! Aaannh! A-Arrnhh!''

With her legs chained to the bed, the fucking bitch or rather the dog girl, moaned submissively. Her blond hair slid from her back as she turned her head, eyes moist and mouth watery in lust.

Jake hadn't used his title or any type of skill on her. He just ripped her tight cunt and roughly pounded her.

Pah! Jake spanked her ass, startling the other slave girls with the crisp sound. Half of them were still waiting for their turn.

''Annhh! Yes, master~ More-''

Pahh! Paht!

Jake pulled the chain and used more force in his thrusts. The girl's ass and thighs trembled, vibrations running through her flesh.

''Uuu… Annhh! Aaannh!'' The slave girl instinctively jerked her tail, crying as his fat cock slayed her sticky pussy.

Her moans were like music to Jake's ears. He leaned down and bit her ears while moving his hips.

''Woo… Wauff!'' The bitch's bark was cute. She clenched the bedsheets and kept her face down, feeling the thick rod sliding in and out of her canal.

As the pounding sounds turned louder, her knees weakly folded and her waist lowered more. Stretching her buttocks as much as she could, the slave girl squirted.

''Ah! Mrnma… master~ Ah! Ahh!'' Her voice trembled as Jake's balls kissed her sensitive clit. The slave girl's heart was busily pumping blood. Her body was sweaty and mind overwhelmed.

''Master, pleas… Ah! Annh! D-Don't be so roug- Annhh~'' She begged, looking back at him with teary eyes.

As he saw that pleading face, Jake's dick throbbed and a stream of cum broke out from his tip. An intoxicating sensation of pleasure hit them both as he kept cumming.

''Why don't you bark again, bitch?'' Jake teased her while moving his hips. ''Say 'woof' and I'll go slower than this.''

''Annuff… Wauff! Wuu…''

The bitch's voice had a high pitch. Burying her head in a pillow, she bit its cover and kept making submissive noises as Jake plowed her.

Energy was leaving her body and her posture broke. She fell on her belly, shaking in pleasure as cum dripped from her pussy. She didn't even have the strength to moan.

Jake stopped holding her collar's chain and slowly pulled out from the girl's warm canal.

''Well, that was fast,'' he sighed, sitting on the bed's edge. Jake pointed at a wolf girl and she obediently crawled to him.

''Suck it,'' he ordered, grabbing her chain.

…

An hour and half later, he exited the tent with a satisfied look. The slaves weren't bad but not anything special either. They all had the same broken personalities because of how they had been treated.

Fearful, timid and less-spoken. As if their souls had been sucked out by a reaper. No use other than breeding. Jake had cum inside all of them, though Ragan seemed to have medicine to deal with that.

Walking through the streets of the slums, Jake arrived at the eastern district. He could hear the people shouting, some in pain, some ecstatic, some in desperation, some in panic.

The state of Nule was in turmoil and that was benefitting the demon who walked as though this wasn't his concern.

Without getting a drop of blood in his clothes, Jake reached the mayor's mansion. A lot of uninformed humans had tried looting or killing him in the way.

Jake didn't kill them, but left those people severely injured in a dark and usually unreachable place. Either they would bleed to death or suffer until someone found them.

''Welcome back, master!''

''Welcome!''

The centaurs energetically greeted him as he entered the compounds. Jake nodded at them and entered the mansion.

Inside the hall, Lombard quickly ran forward and knelt beside him, greeting him in absolute reverence.

''We'll be leaving the town in a while,'' Jake said with his hands inside his pockets. ''Deploy your knights in the evening to stop the little games happening here.''

By 'little games,' he meant the assaults and robbery happening in the town. A lot of common people were already trying to stop this but the presence of criminals made it difficult.

''Also fetch for a priest who worships the upside-down cross. Tell him that the Lord has ordered him to stay here and preach His faith,'' Jake added another order.

At this moment, Perry came from the backyard and greeted him.

''Good afternoon, master.''

''Hmm. Go tell those three upstairs to start preparing,'' Jake told her, walking toward a nearby porch.

Inside the private room of the mayor's first wife, Erin and Ruxa were busy teaching 006 on how to behave in front of their master.

''If you speak like that again, I'll cut your tongue.''

''Geez, if you really want it, take hers,'' the slave girl pointed at Ruxa. ''She has two of 'em, fucking slick and long...''

''You…!''

At this moment, the door opened, making them all stop their talks. Perry stood outside in her black priestly clothes.

''Master said to prepare.''

…

''Yes, I'll be leaving for Karsuda tomorrow.''

''I see. Now that your status is higher, be wary of other nobles. Befriend those in military and those with greater influence.''

''That has always been my plan, master. I will not disappoint.''

''Hmm.'' Jake cut his call with Baron Leo… now Count Leo.

Leaning on the porch's railings, he looked toward the west with various thoughts running in his mind.

Things were peaceful in Ulford after the false news about Minerva's Subjugation spread.

Though the king seemed to be in stress ever since those elves visited. And that state of mind was working for Prince Splennar's favor.

The little liar was filling his father's ears with bits and pieces of theories about a hidden conspiracy within the kingdom. A huge agenda to tear apart the Grimbow!

That was indeed true, but he was blaming someone else instead of a certain dark-eyed demon. It was the king's own brother, Bors De Philips.

Splennar never explicitly mentioned the involvement of his uncle in this 'conspiracy' and even went to say that ''This has to be false!'' and ''Who is spreading such rumors?''

As if he wasn't implying that the Royal Commander 'might be' a traitor. As if he never told his subordinates to make this a topic of gossip among all royals.

If it was someone else, Averon wouldn't think too much about it. But this was his own son. His second son who, for the first time, spoke like a responsible and intellectual man.

There had to be something behind this. Even if it may seem suspicious, who was he to trust if not his only son?

On the other hand, Court Mage Ivan had gone to the northern fort with a mission to 'help' the Royal Commander.

Help to sow the seeds of mistrust.

Ivan's approach was different. He didn't have the courage to persuade a 5th Circle Radiant Knight. Neither did he have the deep connection Splennar had with Averon.

He was but a subordinate known for his magic and wits. What he could do was 'inform' and 'suggest' at best. Everyday, he would have talks with Bors about life, politics, duties, philosophies, etc.

Oftentimes, he slipped in lines like these which seem harmless on the surface.

''His Majesty seems a bit stressed these days. I wonder why he keeps sending you to remote fortresses, Sir Commander.''

''Lord Bors, is it wise to ignore people who are afraid? What if they try to eliminate us for that very reason?''

These lines and questions were thought-provoking but also vile. Ivan was subtly implying that the king might be wary of his own brother and thus trying to eliminate him.

The mage left the thinking to Bors himself and never tried adding his own judgment. Just like how his master ordered him.

To manipulate a man isn't to force lies upon him, but to weave a web of half-truths, and let him lie to himself. 

Jake left the town of Nule near the evening. One more person was inside the carriage now, though there was plenty of space remaining.

Without having to look at the map, Jake as well as the centaurs knew where they would be heading.

The Moonlight Forest.

It was said that this route was dangerous for various reasons like bandits, monsters, and the strange illusions people see. Many claimed that they almost lost themselves passing through this forest.

That's why humans usually took the roundabout way of going through the Lebion city, and reached Mount Huan from there.

However, Jake wasn't afraid about any of these. Actually, he was itching to find out just how 'dangerous' this forest could be.

''Though we'll only be going through the periphery…'' He muttered, resting his left elbow on a windowsill and looking at the changing scenery.

''Master, what is her name?'' Perry asked, leaning toward him.

''I already fucking said I have no name, arrgh.'' 006 slumped on her seat.

Ruxa and Erin immediately frowned at her behavior. A slave like her dared to speak in their master's turn? Their eyes were shooting daggers at the panther girl.

''I have a name for her,'' Erin snickered. ''Cumellia. It means homeless woman in the language of vampires.''

''Or Sss…Slutena, maybe. It's pronounced a little differently, but it means spit on dung in parseltongue.'' Ruxa joined the fun.

''Fuck off. You two didn't buy me, so shut up!'' 006 rolled her eyes at them, not afraid of their powers.

Perry smiled and got closer to her master while the three of them bickered. She was silent and not easily irritated.

''A slave doesn't need a name,'' Jake said. ''Just call her 06.''

He then closed his eyes to fall asleep. This immediately made them turn silent. Ruxa covered 06's mouth and glared at her even though the slave girl wasn't talking.

''Master, you can rest your head on my lap,'' Perry gently said and Jake nodded.

He lay horizontally on the long seat and used the Dark Priestess's thighs as pillows. She immediately began stroking his long, black hair.

The vampiress and the Gorgon couldn't help but think that they had missed such a chance. Why didn't they think of it?

On the other hand, 06 leaned on her seat and tried falling asleep as well.

As it was autumn, there were fewer clouds in the sky. The sun had reached the horizon and nighttime was coming. There weren't any villages on this side of the town. Just a large area of flat, grassy land.

Jake would call it a prairie. A narrow yellow trail cut through it and a luxurious metal carriage ran on it, pulled by exotic centaurs.

The light of the setting sun coupled with the peaceful atmosphere made this a scene straight out of fairy tales. But those inside the carriage were all evil.

…

10th floor of the Dungeon of Sin.

''Haha, baby girl… come to me… Ah yeah, so soft…''

An adventurer was burning but he couldn't feel the pain. The man enjoyed every moment as the fire roasted his flesh and soul.

The evil power harness from that fueled a potent illusion which caged the short adventurer's mind. In the illusion, he was having sex with the woman of his dreams while his life slipped by.

[Pleasure Flames]

Yunna's eyes were glowing pink as she used this skill to kill off the intruder. These days, she was actively trying to hone her skills.

Her master had told her about the bloodline which ran in her body. He had encouraged her to train while he was gone.

''Master…'' Yunna's focus wavered as she thought of Jake.

The man's illusion suddenly broke, and the pleasure turned into pain. He cried and writhed on the ground, unable to die. The sight of this man disgusted the succubus, so she quickly killed him off with [Life Steal].

There were dead bodies of other adventurers in the surroundings. Not just Yunna, but other women were also honing their skills.

Vin, for example, was being trained by Ariel and Diana made the incoming adventurers her training dummies just like Yunna.

Riri had just healed and was trying to learn magic from Irene. Amelia was still healing. Elena and Rose, on the other hand, didn't want to train themselves and devoted themselves to taking care of the children.

Mary and Numa disguised themselves as normal priestesses, joining unsuspecting adventurer parties and always betrayed them at the last moment. They were stuck on how to improve themselves though, as there was no Dark Priestess higher in rank than them.

Charlotte and Ria still had difficulties mingling with everyone in the dungeon. Though they had formed an interesting friendship with the harpies.

Minerva had gotten bored being inside, but Jake had told her to guard the dungeon. Thankfully, Lena kept praising her look and the narcissistic necromancer fully indulged herself in that.

She was also noticing the changes this Dungeon Fairy was going through.

All in all, things were going well inside the dungeon. Well, except for the time Droge had wanted to descend to the 66th floor because of the slight evil aura of Hell leaking from the Dungeon Core.

Surprisingly, this 5th Circle Wyvern was intimidated by the Dark Knight who sternly refused that request, unwavering in front of a monster one whole rank higher than him.

Ash Harely didn't talk much and remained absent most of the time. However, when he did speak, the firmness in his tone commanded a heavy aura.

If Jake was here, he would notice that corruption had done something interesting to this ex-paladin.

…

''Master!'' Bella called.

''It is ahead, we're entering the Moonlight Forest!'' Ella said.

A dark shadow covered the silver light leaking from the windows. The trees here were tall and dense. Tonight was coincidently a full moon.

As he heard the centaurs' voices, Jake quickly opened his eyes. He lifted his head from Perry's soft thighs and rubbed his forehead.

'What was that dream…?'

The shadow cast by the trees repeatedly fell on the carriage rolling through the thick forest. The sound of birds preparing for the night could be heard. There was a fresh scent of nature in the air.

Though Jake was frowning, thinking about the strange dream. He had seen different faces of souls. Some had expressions of ecstasy, some were crying, some depressed, some angry… They were random people he had seen after coming to this world.

'Is it my bloodline? If I remember correctly, it said something about being able to consume souls at higher levels…' Jake thought.

"How was your nap, master?" Erin asked, coming to sit beside him.

"Not that good."

Perry's expression immediately dampened while Erin put on a smug expression. Jake noticed that and realized the meaning they understood.

Though apologising wasn't his nature. He held Perry's chin and looked into her eyes.

"You'll correct this by giving me a better nap the next time."

"Y-Yes, master." She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

"Wow, I didn't know trees could be this big!" 06 pressed her palms on the carriage's window and looked outside.

"Eh, what is that?" She suddenly squinted and kept staring at a particular tree.

"What?" Ruxa asked, leaning behind 06.

"It disappeared! I think I saw a person…"

Hearing this, Jake checked the surroundings through Magipathy but there was nothing.

"There is no one in these woods," he concluded.

However, 06 wasn't convinced. She kept looking back until that tree could not be seen.

"I have heard that Moonlight Forest has various illusions to lure anyone deep into the forest. Could it be that?" Perry fell into a thought.

She lifted her head and asked 06, "What was that person like?"

"She was a woman, kind of tall and had long green hair." 06 moved her hands about, describing the stranger's appearance. "Oh and her tits were big, as big as yours."

Erin immediately caught her master's arm and Ruxa looked wary. Jake sighed at their reactions. Though he couldn't blame them for it.

'I might just fuck any random woman appearing in this forest… No, I really will. Well, aren't I a manwhore?' Jake chuckled.

He opened his inventory and took out some snacks. Jake didn't need them, but the women did. Except for Erin who needed blood.

"Bite," he said, giving her a finger.

Erin smiled cheerfully and quickly held his large palm with both hands. She opened her mouth and first sucked on his forefinger.

Then she sank a fang in the tip and closed her eyes, sucking blood.

"You really are a vampire…" 06 warily said.

A wave of intoxicating pleasure hit Jake as Erin sucked his demonic blood, but it failed to make him sleepy.

Perry and Ruxa looked at this scene while opening their boxes, jealous about the treatment Erin got.

06, on the other hand, had already begun eating. She was fascinated about how Jake had brought food out of thin air. Though now was not the time to ask questions, but eat.

However, her eyes again caught something in the forest. This time, she saw it clearly.

"A monster!"

Her voice startled the centaurs and they slowed their pace. Erin stopped sucking the forefinger of her master, who was looking in the direction 06 was pointing.

"That is a… troll? Why are its legs like that?"

"There are more, master." Ruxa looked through the windows on both sides.

Indeed, more trolls were surrounding their carriage. At a first glance, they looked like forest trolls. It was difficult to identify the creatures when the moonlight was shadowed by various tree crowns. 

But as they came closer, Jake and the women could see that only the lower half of their bodies was made of plant roots and branches. The upper half was just like that of regular trolls.

There was no sound as the monsters came near. As they were just at the first or second circle, Jake felt no need to act himself.

"We shall take care of them, master."

"Yes, we shall."

Bella and Ella retrieved their bows tied to a side of their barrels. They then pulled an arrow each from the other side.

As archers, they kept their weapons always ready. With the arrows nocked, they began firing at the incoming trolls.

However, something weird happened at this moment. The arrows passed through the monsters' bodies.

"This…"

"What is happening?"

The centaurs shot more and the same happened. Their arrows could not damage these trolls at all. The monsters appeared invincible.

Jake, who had been paying attention, immediately stood up. He looked around again and closed his eyes.

As he reopened them, a heavy pressure hit the women inside the carriage as well as the centaurs outside.

The door of the carriage opened. Jake went outside and told the four of them to follow.

"This place…" They came out, looking around in confusion.

"Indeed, it is different. There are no trolls here," Jake said. He was amazed how such an illusion managed to even trick his senses.

Bella and Ella heaved long sighs. Though they felt uneasy seeing their arrows pinned in the nearby trees.

"So it was fake?" 06 came forward. "I thought we would fucking die for real."

Ruxa laughed. It appeared this slave couldn't tell the master's rank.

'Now, what is the source of this illusion…?' Jake looked above. The moon was shining brightly.

The rumors about this forest were true indeed. He had felt something was off after entering here.

"Get inside," Jake looked around for a couple minutes and then ordered.

Once everyone was inside, the centaurs pulled the carriage again. The map had a straight line for the road. It would take about a week and half to cross this forest.

"Master, should we tell them to rest?" Perry asked after some time passed. She was talking about Bella and Ella.

They had been pulling the carriage for 8 hours. Although they could last longer, there was no need to tire them out.

Jake snapped his finger and lit the lamps inside. The interior of their carriage was like a small room.

"We'll take a break after a while," he said, leaning on his seat. However, just as he looked outside through the window, Jake's expression immediately changed.

"Stop!" he ordered.

"What happened?"

"Are there monsters again?"

The women looked tense as the speeding carriage came to a halt.

"No, this is…" 06 quickly went to open the door and showed the peaceful forest outside, bathing in moonlight.

"Isn't it the same place from before? We're in a fucking loop!"

''Let me check what this is about.''

Jake took flight and looked at the forest from above. It appeared different. He flew to the left and examined the forest from below. He quickly found the carriage's track marks.

''So we were indeed going in a circle…'' He used Magipathy to the extreme, examining every tree.

'Oh?' Strange mana signatures were coming from a few trees in the surroundings.

''Ruxa, can you see me?'' Jake asked, sending his voice into her mind.

''No… You disappeared, master,'' she said.

''Attack the tree right beside you.''

Ruxa was confused, but she immediately obeyed that order. Looking at the plant structure firmly standing on the ground, she sent rays of petrification through her eyes.

Immediately, a branch from another tree elongated and tried attacking her.

Jake laughed above and sent Shadow Spears, cutting that branch. He did not suppress his 4th Circle aura and shot toward a rather small tree behind.

''Ah!'' A panicked cry came.

All the trees in the surroundings tried to attack Jake. The leaves became sharp blades; the branches turned into wooden swords, spiky wines tried latching themselves on his body.

However, they couldn't touch him at all. Everything disintegrated under his Negation Aura. Jake's smile widened as he tasted that fear, it empowered him.

''Come out, all of you,'' he shouted. ''Before I burn everything!''

Jake landed on the ground, near the carriage. His gaze was still fixated on that small tree. The tree branches and roots seemed hesitant to attack now.

''How did you find us?'' A female voice came. It sounded heavenly, and echoed in all directions, as if it was one with nature itself.

Jake frowned. Pitch black flames erupted on two trees ahead of him. The dark fire grew larger as it ate the trees.

''Stop this, what are you doing?!'' More voices came, anxious this time.

''I said come out, don't ask questions.'' Jake's mood worsened.

Finally, the tree barks opened and multiple women stepped outside. Their bodies were mostly naked except for the leaves and vines covering their private parts.

''Dryads?'' Erin scrunched up her eyebrows. Perry readied her staff and Ruxa's hair became longer.

''She's the woman I saw!'' 06 pointed at a 2nd Circle Dryad.

Extreme mana gathered around Jake as he looked at the 6 dryads in the surroundings. A huge black fire sprouted in his left hand. It did not burn the air, but consumed it. Thus it was silent, and that sent chills down the spines of those looking at it.

''Tell me why I should excuse your stupid act.'' A knot formed on Jake's forehead.

''You are trespassing our territory!'' Shouted one tall woman whose body was covered with woven vines. She had a light green orb in her hands.

The others could not see it, but Jake could. That orb was the source of this illusion. Indeed, they were still in an illusion. There were two of them.

The earlier one which made trolls appear was to exhaust them. This looping one was to make them anxious. Stacked illusions. Such tricks had nearly fooled even Jake.

Of course, the dryads here weren't capable of it, but the unique item with them was.

''This place is forbidden. No one goes through here.'' Suddenly, a deep, old voice came.

Jake immediately took out his Black Reaper hearing it. He could sense a 4th Circle being's aura.

Trees suddenly parted, not snapping themselves but bending magically. The roots made a staircase of sorts and a fresh scent of nature filled the air. It was refreshing and calming.

A huge face appeared on one of the tree trunks. It looked natural, as if god had carved that face on that tree. Suddenly, the eyes on that face appeared, and it gazed at Jake, ignoring the others.

''Demon, your presence is unwelcomed.''

06 was surprised internally, but she didn't show it on her face.

Jake kept staring at the tree's bark and used [Demon Eye].

[Name: ???]

[Species: Wood Elf]

[Rank: 4th Circle]

[Title(s): Moonlight Protector (+10 Stats boost in Moonlight Forest), Advocate of Nature (Increased Proficiency in Nature Magic. +7 Intelligence), The Wise Old (Passive calmness effect. Ability to influence the mind. +10 Charisma +12 Will)]

[Job: Elder Druid]

'Damn, that's an impressive status…' Jake couldn't help but feel a bit wary seeing it. Those mental attributes were way higher than his own.

He could surpass those by using his accumulated Evil Points. But doing that would be harmful to him in the long term. His body and mind weren't like a game character, this was reality.

Any haphazard changes would be detrimental to future advancements. And in Jake's case, he did that for the past 6 months without realizing the consequences.

''Leave,'' the old elf thundered. He looked at Erin with extreme hate in his eyes. As a druid, he despised beings who went against nature, such as this vampire.

[Negation Aura]

Suddenly, most of the trees disappeared. Erin, Ruxa, 06 and Perry's vision changed. They could see that they were in a clearing, surrounded by the same dryads.

But there was a tall, old elf standing in front of them. They also noticed the illusory orb in one dryad's hand. Its glow was dimming, as if something was suppressing it.

Jake was also planning to use [Degeneration Halo] but the presence of this Elder Druid made it difficult. If the halo hit this caster, Jake would be at the risk of reverse-corruption.

''Leave before I initiate an attack,'' The druid's hands glowed with green lights. He didn't like the fact that this demon had broken the illusion.

''Quite arrogant, aren't you?'' Jake's horns grew and wings sprouted on his back.

Ever since this druid appeared, Jake had a bitter taste on his tongue. It wasn't fear or depression. It was anxiousness.

A leaf blade suddenly sliced through the air towards him. Jake caught it bare-handed and crushed it using his superior strength.

''Why don't you attack me more?'' He asked.

However, the druid this time frowned. It made Jake smile widely.

''You're afraid our battle will destroy nature, aren't you? How predictable.''

The Elder Druid showed no emotion on his face, but the increasing bitter taste was authentic. Jake found it laughable.

''That's why you want me to leave, don't you? I can do that. But because you used petty tricks to divert us, I have some 'small demands' here.''

As soon as Jake glanced at the dryads, the women behind him felt an odd urge to sigh. Their master was pretty predictable as well.

''I want to mate with these dryads,'' Jake said, lifting his hands. His expression implied that they should accept immediately while there was still a chance.

This caught the elder druid off guard. Who could have imagined such a demand though? Edgar didn't for sure. His first reaction to this was anger, but his title as The Wise Old calmed him.

''What do you mean…?'' Edgar instead tried playing dumb.

''Didn't you hear?'' 06 walked forward, ignoring the gazes of Erin, Ruxa and Perry.

''He wants to fuck you all, so line up your pussies.'' Her words were vulgar but blunt. There was no ground to play around.

Edgar was torn between two choices. He wanted to protect the forest, of course. But it would come at the cost of these dryads being humiliated. They were like daughters to him.

''I might change my mind if you don't hurry.'' The dark fire became larger as Jake spoke. Now it seemed to consume the moonlight itself.

This alarmed the elder druid. He was ready to use Protection of the Wilderness, a unique grade defense skill.

However, Jake didn't burn a blade of grass. Instead, he amplified the nervousness of this wood elf using Emotion Manipulation. This made Edgar more hesitant until he gave up. His confidence was also fading away.

Jake's mana was evil and potent. This druid didn't have a skill like [Demon Eye] to analyze his opponent. Edgar did not know how powerful Jake was, but he knew this demon could absolutely damage the forest.

''Would you really leave after that?'' One of the dryad asked. She was the one holding the illusory orb, which had fully dimmed now.

Jake glanced at her and smiled. ''Indeed, I would. You see, I had no intention of messing with you all. But I like your tits now.''

''Just for that? You want to…'' Another dryad tried speaking.

''Yes,'' Jake said. ''Now spread your legs before I spread this fire all over the forest.''

The dryads looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces. They then glanced at Edgar to see if he had anything to say.

The old druid hit the ground with his staff and nodded. Frustration was apparent on his face. How could someone at the 4th Circle be so shameless? Then again, this was a filthy demon.

The women behind Jake sighed and went back to the carriage. At this point, they had already accepted it. Their master was the number one fucker they had ever seen.

''Follow us,'' Edgar said in a grave tone. ''This entire forest is under my watch. If you damage even a single sapling, I will know. Then, it is you or me.''

Jake snapped his fingers, extinguishing the ball of dark fire. He followed the dryads into the forest, leaving a message to Erin.

''Burn your blood if anything suspicious happens.''

Of course, Jake didn't fully trust the elder druid. Who knows? The old elf could try to keep the women hostage. It was better to be careful.

After leaving the clearing, they arrived at a place with thick woods. Thicker than even what was in the earlier illusion. The greenery of this place was something straight out of fairy tales.

''Refreshing,'' Jake commented.

The old druid snorted. This was one of the sacred places where he and the dryads worshipped nature along with peaceful forest creatures.

It was blasphemous to bring Jake, a demon who had no respect nor care for nature, here. However, Edgar had no choice. This was the safest place as well. This demon wouldn't be able to easily harm the dryads if he had nefarious intentions.

''Well, make it quick,'' Jake walked toward a petite dryad who nervously backed away.

''We will. Have patience,'' another dryad clenched her hands and said. She looked at her sister and nodded.

Allamanda, the 3rd Circe Dryad, passed the orb of illusion to Edgar. It floated before the druid, who glanced at Jake one time and left.

''Sex in the wild, this is something new…'' He smirked and pulled his belt.

The six dryads surrounding him were nervous. But as his black pant suddenly disappeared, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

''A man's genitals… I didn't know it could be this… thick.'' Sinense muttered. She looked at Bellis, who also seemed surprised.

Actually, these dryads used to capture handsome adventurers and had tried procreating with them.

However, no human, beastkin, elf or dwarf could last long with them and neither their semen was potent enough. Some men ran away while some became obsessed with them, eventually dying after losing their vitality.

''Maybe a demon…'' One dryad with light-green skin eyed Jake. She was still wary though.

He noticed her gaze and beckoned her. ''Bend your legs and suck it.''

Fernis looked at the other dryads and walked forward. She was also curious to see how long this demon would last. Usually, other men had ejaculated as soon as she touched their twigs.

Being spiritual creatures, dryads had otherworldly beauty. Since the birth, their bodies were nurtured by nature, giving them peak proportions and extremely desirable features.

The villagers at the periphery of Moonlight Forest treated them like lesser goddesses. Having one's genitals touched by such beings wasn't something a normal man could handle.

However, Jake was different. As Fernis leaned below and touched his loose vine, it slowly rose through the sparse bushes and became a thick branch, fascinating the dryads around.

''Impressive…'' Fernis grabbed his cock and played with it.

''Come on, are you all just going to stare? You have to satisfy me tonight, or the consequences will be ugly.''

As he said this, the other dryads neared him. Two lifted his arms, getting under them. Their breasts pressed on his lats. One hugged his large back from behind.

Allamanda held his chin and stared intensely at Jake. She had bright green eyes, and a perfectly sculpted face.

People could not maintain eye contact with someone as beautiful as her for a long time. But the demon didn't blink even once. Instead, he suddenly kissed her, surprising the dryads again.

''Mrrmm~''

Slurp… Slurp…

Within the beautiful scenery crafted by nature, stood a tall demon on whose body latched six sexy dryads.

Natural clothes covered their curvy bodies. They smelled like tree saps and wild flowers, the scent of nature, enlivening and refreshing.

Fernis was kneeling below this man. Her feet had transformed to green roots which dung into the soft soil. But the rest of her body was still humanoid. Some wet leaves covered her pussy.

Fernis held her juicy milkers and bound them against Jake's balls with green vines. With her mouth plugged, the dryad bobbed her head while squeezing his nuts with her lemons.

​ ''Mrrnnghh~ Mrrnnh~ Mwmm~''

Jake felt the texture of Fernis's watery mouth as she sucked his fat meat. Thin saliva coated his foreskin which her delicate lips pulled back and forth, making wet slurping noises.

'Ahh…' The pleasure Jake felt was on a new level. It was something different.

Sucking on Allamanda's lips, he clutched her breast and relished the soft, warm sensation. Jake's other hand snaked around a dryad's ass until he found her slit.

He automatically began rubbing it and inserted his middle finger. Jake felt her tremble.

''Mm… Ah~ A-Ah~''

He inserted his ring finger and explored Sinense's warm insides. Her pussy began constricting. Jake rubbed her clit with his thumb and used some strength in his fingers.

''Mrrmm…'' She became docile. This was the first time a man had made her feel good.

Jake touched the 3rd Circle Dryad, Allamanda's butt and began pleasuring her as well. She was no different.

He took turns to wet their pussies while Fernis sucked his thick rod. She was surprised he still wasn't cumming.

Remembering what he said, Fernis was determined to make this demon cum and satisfy him. She had to make him bend to her techniques!

Slurp… Slurp…

Even as tears welled up in her eyes, Fernis pushed his meaty stick deeper into her throat. She took a deep breath of fresh air and pulled her head back. Then she came forth, fully swallowing Jake's cock.

He couldn't help but look below. Fuzzy saliva was leaking from the dryad's mouth. Her eyelids were filled with tears but she kept sucking.

''Mrnnghh~ Mrmnnh~''

Fernis hugged his thighs as thick, hot cum streamed down her throat. She hurriedly slipped it out but Jake pinched her cheeks, shooting his cum inside her mouth again. Some stained her face, some stuck on her lips.

Pah! He slapped Sinense's thigh and said, ''Go lay against that tree.''

A bit anticipant about what this demon could do, the dryad laid her back on the tree's trunk. Thick vines tied to the branches lifted her legs, spreading them wide.

Jake walked in front of this blonde dryad and touched her pussy. It was warm and wet, ready for penetration.

Wasting no time, Jake brought his tip and poked around until it entered through her flowery vulva.

Sinense gasped Jake ripped her pussy. With her back pressed against the trunk, feet entangled in vines, she took the demon's cock inside her.

''Ah~ Annhh~''

Jake held the dryad's thighs, clutching on its flesh and fucked her while standing in front. His sharp gaze never left her eyes.

Pahh! Pah!

As their pelvises began touching, clapping sounds echoed in this beautiful forest. The dryad's breasts jiggled, loosening her bra woven out of grasses.

Jake held her left thigh and squeezed her right breast while moving his hips. His dominating cock ravaged the dryad's little flower.

The others watched this scene without blinking. They had a hard time believing Sinense could make such an expression. She appeared to be in peak pleasure.

''Annhh! Mrmm… Ah! Ahh!''

Even though they had been previously unwilling, now these dryads were expectant about their turn.

''M-More! Ah~ Ah~'' Sinense hugged Jake's neck. Her hands turned into green vines and wrapped all around him. Her back also merged with the tree truck she was leaning on.

Jake wasn't really concerned. He grabbed her both breasts and slid his fat dick in and out of her pussy. It felt more like he was fucking the tree itself, certainly a fresh experience.

Phah! Pakh! Pah!

Juices dripped from the dryad's cunt which was getting tighter and tighter. She was about to climax; he knew. Jake hammered faster and the tall, green tree began shaking because of the force.

''Ahh! Arrnnh!!''

The dryad rolled her teary eyes and orgasmed immediately. Pleasure overwhelmed her.

''Mrmm, delicious…'' Jake kissed her mouth and came inside her. He kept moving his hips while shooting his load directly into her womb.

The beautiful dryad pressed her thighs on his waist and let him fuck her however he wished.

Pahh! Pah! Phah! Pah!

Jake didn't quickly switch to another dryad. Wrapping his arms around her legs, he fucked her tight, dripping pussy until he was satisfied.

Only after half an hour passed, he pulled out and looked at the other dryads. This time he picked the petite dryad.

Letting her hold on to a nearby tree branch, Jake went behind and carried her by her buttocks.

''Ah!'' Bellis immediately cried as his tip went inside her nature hole.

He pushed deeper and cleanly slid his meat into her tight canal. Clutching her ass cheeks, Jake began thrusting, fucking the petite dryad as she started moaning.

Tight flesh slapping sounds filled the air. Bellis finally realized why Sinense had made such a face earlier. This was good, too good!

''Ahh! Mrrmaah!'' She jerked her head behind and gazed at her own ass getting destroyed.

Pahh! Pah! Pah!

She couldn't help but instinctively bend her legs. Jake's raw actions were like a law itself, compelling her to be obedient.

''Mrmm, that's good, stay like that…'' He lifted one of her legs high and fucked the petite woman with pleasure.

At a certain corner of the forest, the elder druid was sitting crossed-legged under a tree. His expression changed from time to time as he heard Bellis moaning.

Edgar was worried that the demon might be using some magic. Even though he felt uncomfortable, he used his powers of Nature Sense to a take a peek at what was going on.

Phah! Phuk! Pakh! Pa!

Pressing the dryad against the tallest tree where everyone worshipped nature, Jake was fucking Bellis.

Pure ecstasy had distorted her expression. She had her pink tongue stretched out, bending herself fully in submission to the demon behind her.

"Annh! Aaannh! Mrrnhh... Ah~"

The scene was vivid. The fucking sound of her cunt getting smacked pierced through Edgar's ear, and he immediately cut his senses. But the old elf couldn't help take a peek again.

Jake was aware of the druid's spying and snorted in disdain. He ignored the Edgar and kept fucking the petite dryad.

"Annhh~ Mrmmm..." Bellis squirted, feeling the powerful thrusts. She had never felt so weak and warm.

Paht! Her bubble butt jiggled as Jake kept pounding her.

"That's a good pussy," he said, hearing the crisp sounds. He looked around and saw the others waiting.

"Your turn will come soon."

Jake and the dryads remained busy the whole night.

Early in the morning, the first sunlight pierced through the cloak of leaves and branches. The dryads had merged with their spiritual trees to rest.

''Are you satisfied now?'' The elder druid floated toward the demon. His expression implied that he wanted Jake to leave immediately.

''Indeed, they were delicious last night. You would know, right?'' Jake licked his lips and flew up.

Although he didn't say it directly, his words left a bad taste in Edgar's mouth. He realized the demon knew he was checking on them last night.

The druid looked at the state of this site. Though nothing seemed to have changed, he couldn't help but feel the worshiping area was tainted now.

Flying through the forest, Jake reached the place where the carriage was parked. It appeared the druid hadn't tried doing anything suspicious. He was too worried about Jake's presence.

''Master, w-welcome back.''

''D-Did you have fun…?''

Erin and Perry asked awkwardly. They had just woken up. Jake answered them while getting inside the carriage.

''There is a shortcut out of this forest,'' Edgar came from behind and said. He wanted the demon and his company gone as quickly as possible.

''Oh?'' Jake took out his map from the inventory and threw it at the druid outside.

''Map it for me.''

Edgar caught the scroll and looked at it. There was a cross signal at the end of the moonlight forest. Instead of using the map Jake had given him, the druid created a new map on a flat piece of wood with his powers.

There was more detail about the Moonlight Forest now. Comparing Jake's map with it, the way through the forest was shorter and straight.

With a neutral expression, the druid threw the wooden map at Jake which disappeared as soon as he caught it.

'Space magic…? It was good that I didn't fight with him, he probably has many more hidden cards under his sleeves,' Edgar thought.

The carriage's doors suddenly shut in his face. Jake didn't even thank him.

''Move,'' he ordered the centaurs who were already awake and ready.

At his command, Bella and Ella pulled the luxury carriage. Instead of going the way they were going, the centaurs changed courses as their master gave out more commands.

The druid looked at the carriage closely and even followed until it left his territory.

Back at the worshiping area, the dryads appeared from their spiritual trees one by one. They transformed from green humanoid trees to humans in a few seconds.

The dryads remembered what happened last night and touched their bellies. The demon had fucked and came inside them all multiple times. But he had also done something subtle to them which Edgar couldn't notice.

''We must nurture the master's seed…'' Fernis leaned against her spiritual tree and muttered. Some of its green leaves were turning red and black, the colors of vile evil.

…

''The Lord judges everyone equally, but sometimes He judges some subjects more equally than others.'' Bishop Panchel preached to the crowd of thousands of people.

Today, a mass gathering was being held in Orlando, signaling the completion of his faith converting quest. Leading his clerics, knights and devout believers, he had gone from city to city, village to village, preaching to people about the Lord and his magnanimousness.

''Thus, the Lord is impartial,'' the bishop continued bullshitting to the mass.

Helpers were passing the Book of Teachings to the people below with humble attitudes. The things written on it were from Jake's own hand. Suffice to say, it was to help him get more Evil Points.

From the start, Jake wanted to create a cult because he knew its potential. Now, if a believer did something sinful after reading the Book of Teachings, it would be because of him.

''The Lord wishes prosperity to each of His lambs. And to gain prosperity, a good life and happiness, you must follow what is written in the Book of Teachings. Open, open this holy scripture and practice it daily!'' Panchel's voice was amplified through a magic crystal and reached everyone's ears.

Those who had gotten the book immediately opened it and began reading.

''The First Teaching. Mating is an act of nature, it gives divine pleasure. Those who forbid it go against that which is human, and thus it is wrong.

The Lord encourages his believers to practice sex with each others. It is best to make this a family tradition, and fuck one's relatives on a daily basis...''

''The Second Teaching. To steal isn't necessarily wrong. It teaches us how nothing lasts with us, it teaches that everything comes from earth and is bestowed by the Lord.

Humble yourself and do not condemn robbery, for nothing is yours. You came to this world with nothing and shall leave this world the same…''

As the people read more and more, they couldn't help but doubt this book. This was the exact opposite of what their earlier faith told them. Then again, these teachings did not forbid anything. The Lord did not compel them, He just 'encouraged' his ways.

''Praise the Lord!'' Someone shouted. Of course, he was ordered to do that.

''Preach!''

​ ''The Lord teaches, and we follow!''

In a small time, the crowd began roaring. Standing on top of the raised platform, Bishop Panchel raised his hand and people below immediately went silent.

He continued his preachings with a calm attitude while some priests and priestesses fucked in the building behind.

…

A week passed and the carriage finally left the moonlight forest. During this time, Jake had noticed a steep increase in numbers of Evil Points.

It had already crossed the one million mark and was still increasing. Jake was expecting the points to reach five million by the time he reached Tartus Dungeon.

On the way through the periphery of Moonlight Forest, bandits and monsters had confronted them. However, just the centaurs dealt with them all. Jake didn't have to act himself. Some monsters even withdrew as soon as he equipped the Demon Earl title.

Sitting inside the carriage, Jake looked at the wooden map given by the druid.

''There is a tributary ahead. That's also where Karsuda Province's territory ends,'' Ruxa said. ''Then we will enter the Ardin Province!''

The sound of flowing river water was as clear as the water itself. Jake's carriage had just crossed this tributary and the territory of Karsuda province.

Now, they were in Ardin. From here, they just had to follow the Great River of Inaros which branched from the tributary they just crossed.

According to Ruxa, ten days worth of journey was still remaining.

''Master, there are many villages near the river. The nearest human city from here is Lustin, but we don't need to go through that,'' she informed, sitting on his lap.

''Hmm, we have already spent a lot of time. No need to go around. Also, I heard that Saelther Canyon is pretty near the capital city of this province…''

''Yes, Port Cheshire is built just past the canyon.''

''I see, we'll have to visit that place,'' Jake answered and fell into a deep thought.

He had already learned about the Fel Snake Tribe and Mistress Nyssa from Ruxa. They apparently lived on the 56th Floor. That meant he would have to fight his way through the 55 floors to get there.

Apparently, Nyssa wasn't the master of Tartus Dungeon. This came to Jake as a surprise when he first heard it. But it only made him want to go there more.

Actually, he wanted to visit Tartus for a few different reasons other than meeting Nyssa who'd arrogantly killed his imp. Jake wanted to find out the identity of the mysterious dungeon master whom even Ruxa was unaware of.

'I wonder which demon or demoness it is, or it could even be a naturally corrupted human…'

Since transmigrating to this world, Jake hadn't gone to any other dungeon or met with other Dungeon Masters. According to his memories, dungeons were extensions of Hell in the Origin World.

They would randomly appear in evil places, or during special circumstances like if a demon is exiled.

During the birth of a dungeon, its core forms first which would sink into the ground with a violent wave of evil mana. That would create a crude layout of 7 or 9 floors.

Once the chaotic mana stablisies, it converges toward the Dungeon Core again, giving birth to the Dungeon Fairy. Lena was also born like this. She is no older than seven months.

''Master, look!'' Erin nudged Jake at this moment.

He looked through the window at the direction she was pointing and saw a dormant volcano. This was Mount Huan. There were two destroyed towns past it.

''I remember going that way with western merchants…'' Ruxa said, remembering the time she first met Jake. That had been quite terrifying.

Whoosh!

The carriage speedily rolled on the banks of Inaros, going north west. Its wheels cracked some dried up orange leaves that fell from the trees beside. There were less leaves on them now, signaling that it was already autumn.

A few days later, the carriage crossed the river through a bridge and kept going north west.

There, Jake and his women passed two towns and various villages. He spread chaos there as well, naturally. Jake also learned about the situation of Ardin province from the landlords here.

Like a resourceful assistant, Perry noted the names of influential nobles and the fiefs they managed.

They also learned the Church of Light's influence in this province was the highest. This was because Ardin bordered the Holy Theocracy, a nation controlled by the church. Though every pastor or priest would say that God himself was in control.

In any case, Jake had to be more mindful of his actions here. Although he doubted there was anyone within the Ardin Diocese capable enough to defeat him.

A week passed and the carriage finally reached Saelther Canyon.

There was a small town here named Waun. Adventurers and explorers restocked their supplies here. It was also the place from where resources extracted from Tartus Dungeon was supplied to all places.

There was no entry fee or guard checking to enter Waun. It was a free town, anyone could come and go. The person's safety had to be maintained by themselves.

However, if something large happened, high-ranking adventurers present here would band together to solve it.

Just after entering, many people were shocked by the centaurs. All eyes locked in on their bizarre appearance. Inside the carriage, 06 kept looking through both windows. She was fascinated by so many adventurers in one place.

''You're staying here,'' Jake said.

''What?''

''Of course you are. We are going to enter a dungeon. Can you fight a goblin?'' Erin rolled her eyes and grabbed Jake's arm.

''But wait… where the fuck will I stay?''

''Master, I know a place owned by a Naga. We know each other, she can stay there,'' Ruxa said. Seeing Jake starting to think, Ruxa added to assure him, ''Nesanthe is a 3rd Circle Naga.''

After a while, the carriage left Waun town and headed toward the canyon's bottom.

Saelther canyon was relatively small and the way down was steep. However, human mages had reformed a part of the land for people to reach the canyon's bottom.

Normally, no one would bring a carriage here, but Jake was never one to follow the norm.

Kicking up dust, Bella and Ella pulled their master's luxury carriage and neared the banks of the entrenched river at the base. It was Waun, the name of this small river which flowed through Saelther, and the name given to the town above.

''I can sense it…'' Jake looked in the eastern direction as the carriage reached the bottom. There was a large hole in the right escarpment.

Although it wasn't as large as his dungeon's, the thick mana coming out of it was authentic. That had to be the entrance of Tartus Dungeon.

Jake focused his gaze and saw a stone bridge cutting through the river. People were crossing Waun through it and entering the dungeon.

Jake told Bella and Ella to head that way. However, there were many large rocks on the way which made it difficult for carriages to pass.

''Stop. Everyone alight,'' Jake passed the order and kicked the door open.

''Let's go there by foot.''
