25 Taking a Captive, Freeing a Slave

"Rin!"

Her call came too late as Mina's blade rammed into her shoulder. Melody fell to her knees, blood spilling from the gaping wound. Mina could see the fear in her eyes, almost pleading for life.

"Demi-humans, you're all the same! None of you deserve this land! It belongs to the kingdom, Fennis! We have rightful-"

Mina bapped her with her hilt, causing the woman's head to hit the ground. She gazed up at Mina, who knelt down and spoke quietly.

"I'm not a demi-human. I'm a monster."

She gave a wicked grin before knocking Melody upside her head again.

"Asahi, heal that wound. Inferna, help me bind her. She may be useful, so let's see what happens. Push comes to shove, we kill her and scram."

They went to work, Inferna's demi form surprising the others. They were practically mesmerized by her new appearance. She blushed heavily, even more so when Mina grabbed her hand. Even for just a moment, Inferna felt blissful. She redoubled her efforts, tying Melody up nicely. After they finished, Rin entered. Her eyes fell on Melody, almost seeming to be dead.

"Rin, is there a key for that collar?"

Rin knelt down, pointing between the open cleavage Melody was sporting. Popping her hand in, Mina nabbed the key and helped unlock the collar. The key seemed to be a magic stone, but it couldn't be devoured. It just unlocked the collar, as well as gave the wielder the ability to command the slave.

"You can easily head home now, right?"

Rin knelt before Mina, tears in her eyes.

"Lady Mina, I may not know you... nor do I have any right to presume what purpose you have. However, I'd like to bring knowledge of who you are to my people. I may not be an official negotiator of the elves, but please... look upon my people with a good light. I wish to return as an ambassador the next time I see you. To create good relations and friendship. Your kindness is almost divine. No other would save a slave... nor leave the owner alive. I'm glad you did leave her alive. She's necessary to get into the town. Everything was controlled by her, so..."

Rin nodded towards the collar. Mina smiled, stunning Rin. When the smile turned away, she shook her head slightly. Her pointed ears lifted higher as she raised an eyebrow.

Mina used [Coalesce] again, strapping the collar to Melody.

[You have forced slavery onto Melody Siegfried. All actions against you and your comrades will result in a shock from the collar. Please devour the stone.]

Mina didn't hesitate, using [Devour] on the control device.

'Huh... neat.'

[You have successfully devoured Slave Collar Control Stone.

Learned Slave Control

Learned Slave Punish

Slaves: 1/10]

Mina smirked, her usual beauty seeming tainted as she got closer to Melody. As [Coalesce] was still active, she reached out and smacked her. Melody seemed to respond, but Mina smacked her twice more. Her eyes lifted, locking onto Mina's. Before she could even speak, her face turned crimson.

"Wh-what?! N-no... am I dreaming again? Another rape fantasy? I don't see any big naked men, just a cute elf. Am I going to be raped by a cute girl?!"

Melody almost began to hyperventilate, her face scared and her eyes excited.

"Holy shit... she's a pervert. Rin, you could've been making her your bitch."

Rin's jaw dropped. Her hand covered her mouth as she stifled her laughter.

"This... this is the real Melody?! Dammit, why couldn't I figure this out before!? Ugh... that collar wouldn't have helped me at all. I'd have been struck down by it."

Mina tilted her head as she stared at the strange woman sitting in front for her.

"Melody, do you truly wish to be raped?"

Her eyes lit up, but her lips became a scowl.

"Of course not! I definitely don't want a beautiful girl like you making me her plaything! I'd never submit, not even if you spanked my ass and pinched my tits!"

Mina turned pink. She looked back at the others, every last one hiding their eyes.

"She's deranged, but maybe..."

She got closer to Melody, a wicked smile on her face.

"Swear your loyalty, then maybe... you can be my dog."

Fubuki snarled slightly.

"Fubuki, you're my friend. I'd never set you as low as a pet. Besides, you're a badass. She's a perverted bitch."

Mina could see that Melody was practically drooling.

'Do I have a way to make a slave crest instead of this collar? It's so obvious...'

Melody squirmed, her face almost in ecstasy. Before Mina could have second thoughts, the collar vanished, but on her stomach was a mark that almost resembled angel wings with a heart behind them.

"Oh. So Melody, are you prepared to be obedient? This dream won't end... and you may get special rewards if you're really good."

Asahi perched herself on Fubuki, making sure to avoid Chisana.

"I think... Mina woke something bad."

Inferna stifled her laughter.

"She's trying really hard, that's not awakening something... she's super embarrassed!"

Mina pouted at Inferna, her lower lip quivering.

"If I'm so bad at this, help me!"

Rin chimed in.

"She's your slave, and on that thought... I should head home. I'll return when I find the time, so please... stay safe. All of you."

Rin gave a kind smile to all of the beasts that surrounded her. She held no hint of fear nor resentment. Mina marked that in her head, hoping the rest of the elves had a kind demeanor and didn't despise monster based species.

Turning back to Melody, Mina stared directly into her eyes and gave her a small smile. Though it wasn't very big, the effect practically had hearts appear in Melody's eyes.

'Holy shit... humans are weak as fuck.'

"I'll be fully devoted and loyal to you, my lady! Please, command your lowly bitch!"

Mina instantly flushed red. Inside she was screaming, but outside she gave are simple command.

"Bring your people back to the town. I have need of the dungeon, so please help me get inside."

Melody nodded excitedly, the ropes falling loose. She stared down, her eyes glazing over with sadness.

"I'll tie you down again later. Probably leave you naked too... but that's only if you do what I ask."

Melody hopped to her feet, but Mina snapped her fingers. Melody instantly turned to stare at her master.

"You're mine now, Melody. No one is allowed to find out that you're mine, nor are they to touch you sexually. That's off limits. Maim those that attempt to force themselves on you. And... [Slave Control], you will dry up whenever a being, besides myself, tried to take you. In any way."

Melody's eyes shined.

"Of course, Master. What else would be accepted? I'll only allow you to touch me, though I do not deserve such a blessing."

As she turned to leave, Mina slumped to her knees.

"What. The. Fuck! Dammit, you weird ass Goddess! What did you give me the ability to do!?"

Her face was practically emanating the color red, though her friends were all gushing about how cute she looked. Mina pouted, but eventually she gave beaming smile. Each and every one of them was stunned.

'I may have been slow, but I know what weapon I have to make you all hush. You're all lucky I like you!'

Getting to her feet, Mina stretched her imaginary muscles.

'This body sucks.'
