– Hahaha
– The centipede is so fast!
– Chase version 2
From the viewers’ perspective, the speed of the Lucky Bladed Centipede that chose to flee at full speed to escape my grasp must have felt almost incomprehensible.
Honestly, I briefly lost track of the centipede’s movements due to that speed.
I’m strong, but I’m not exceptionally fast.
What makes me look fast is the massive amount of force and strength I use to propel myself like a missile.
But that’s just from the viewers’ standpoint. Sure, I don’t have lightning-fast reflexes like Menelapie, but when I enhance my senses with Seongnyeok, I can accelerate my perception.
So, the conclusion is…
[Screeee!]
– Whoa!
– Did you just see that?
– The streamer is faster than the centipede, haha!
– The drone camera can’t capture the streamer’s movements, lol!
– So fast!
The centipede’s attempt to throw itself into a broader and brighter world was thwarted by the tentacle I extended.
It was relatively easy to catch, considering it stretched about 15 meters.
I rose from the hot spring water and slowly walked towards the Bladed Centipede caught by my tentacle.
Brr, it’s cold.
I guess it’s because of the warm water; the chill from the outside air suddenly felt sharp.
“Alright, it might try to escape again, so…”
[Miracle – Manifestation of the Holy]
[Miracle – Manifestation of the Holy]
[Miracle – Manifestation of the Holy]
With a single manifestation, five tentacles emerge.
The miracle of manifestation means drawing something that was once divine into this body.
It’s a sacrilegious miracle, using something that was once holy and great with the hands and feet of a mere Mangja Seongnyeo.
– Eek!
– What is that?!
– Damn, that’s creepier than the centipede!
– Hmmm, Streamer’s tentacles… very fondling…
– It’s here! Hahaha!
– Whoa!
– Today, there are a lot of tentacles, huh?
– Not just a lot, but so many, lol!
– Even if the streamer gets their body inspected, it’s risqué, and with so many tentacles, I can’t help but think dirty thoughts, haha!
– Whoa whoa!
– Hmmm… Tentacle Noona…
If I use the manifestation one more time, 25 tentacles will split apart.
If I use it once more, 125 tentacles will bloom from my body and Seongnyeok, nourished like flowers.
Just as defilement spreads rapidly, the number of tentacles increases exponentially with each use of the miracle.
Hands of the shapeless without a master.
Your place of rest is me, wandering ones, for I will be your pot.
You will all become my hands. My will, my faith.
Then peace will come to you, and food will come to your hungry selves…
Calmly, seize the unfortunate centipede, who dislikes baths, and bring it before me.
“Alright, today’s Isia will become the bath fairy!”
– Hahaha
– I’m not a Seongnyeo!
– Seongnyeo resignation declaration, haha!
– Resigning from being a Seongnyeo again, haha!
– Fairy? Look at that body, is it a fairy? More like a succubus or a demon, haha!
– For real, haha!
– Fairy declaration…
– Hahaha!
As my words fell, the tentacles grabbed each segment of the Bladed Centipede tightly.
[Screeee!!]
“Stay still! Just hold on a bit!”
– No! Let me go! I’m scared!
– Hahaha!
– Isn’t that the centipede getting restrained?!
– Hey, hey, hey, did the tentacle restraint get flagged as explicit?!
– Huh?
– For real, haha!
– Did the centipede get turned into SD art after getting caught by the tentacle, haha?
“Hey, don’t be scared. Even the patterns on the ceiling will slowly finish in no time! Now, close your eyes and come here!”
[Screeee… Ah… I’m… Gonna… die…!]
– What are those lines…?
– Is this thing a Seongnyeo…?
– Assaulting Seongnyeo…
– The Seongnyeo is forcibly spoiling the centipede!
– Hahaha the chat is going wild, haha!
– I’m getting dizzy…
The first thing I did was cover the centipede’s eyes with a warm towel soaked in hot spring water.
When capturing wild animals, the first step is to blindfold them, and sure enough, covering the centipede’s head with a towel reduced its resistance.
“Ha ha, good. So, you trust me, don’t you? Don’t you trust your big sister?”
– That’s not it! The streamer has caught every segment and bound it, how could it move? Hahaha!
“…Oh, is that so?”
Cough, no.
The Bladed Centipede surely trusts me; it has no doubt I will do something that won’t harm it.
[Screeee…!]
That’s strange. I keep hearing nonsense from somewhere.
“Now that I think about it, the centipede’s body is quite firm.”
As I fixed the centipede with tentacles and climbed atop it, I felt its smooth yet firm texture touching my butt.
[…Screeee…!]
“Don’t worry. It’ll be over in the blink of an eye.”
The first thing to do is moisten it.
Though we drenched ourselves in the hot spring water, considering the centipede’s length of about 15 meters, it was crucial to apply water carefully between all the joints and limbs.
I worried initially that its breathing holes might get blocked, but fortunately, this creature is also a B-class monster.
It doesn’t seem like it’s going to suffocate just from getting wet.
[Screeee…!]
It seemed the centipede had completely given up its resistance.
“See, it’s nice when you give up. You’re happy, and I’m happy, right?”
– Why does talking like that seem so criminal? Hahaha!
– Criminal Seongnyeo…
– Damn…
– Not a crime, just say damn then.
– It’s too light to be a crime, and absurd in daily life, so let’s call it damn.
Animals are supposed to need specific shampoos or soaps made for them, right?
But alas, there wasn’t any kind of that prepared in Yeongwoljung’s hot springs, and I had no expectations that shampoos or soaps for pets would work on the Bladed Centipede.
It’s not a pet; it’s a monster.
Sure, it has surrendered and is frightened, but it’s crucial to remember that this Bladed Centipede isn’t a normal living being; it’s a monster that shouldn’t exist in this world, filled with malignance.
I keep it around because it’s decent to play with.
“Alright, if you’re all cleaned up, let’s apply the soap first.”
I applied soap to my own body at the same time.
And when I worked the foam properly… Oh, this feels good.
Squeak, squish, wet smearing
– Whoa!
– This is… Whoa!
– Whoa! Whoa!
– Tempting!
– It got flagged but it’s so risque…
I thought it wouldn’t be that hard, but when I realized how incredibly long this guy was.
15 meters long, for real. Just in length alone, it’s as high as a five-story apartment.
When considering the countless joints, legs, and fangs within that body that all need to be soaped carefully, it was as hefty as a major construction task.
“Ugh, does it feel nice?”
[Screeee…!]
Hehe, good to know.
It seems the centipede feels nice too.
– Isn’t that the sound of the centipede struggling to breathe?
– Could be?
– No, it could genuinely feel nice!
– I’m going to live as a centipede from today!
– Mom, I wanted to be a centipede!
– Crazy people, hahaha!
– What did your mom do wrong?
– But think about it. If you were that centipede, and the streamer is lathering you up while you’re tied up, what would you think… Whoa! Nosebleed!
– Whoa! Whoa!
“No, what do you mean rubbing? I’m just soaping it up with my hands. Perverted ones, is that really so good?”
– Yes!
– Mine!
– Yep!
– Yes!
– So good…
– Hmmm…
At first, I was just soaping with my hands, but eventually, I started using tentacles one by one to rub the entire body of the centipede.
And during that process, I realized one fact… this creature is female.
How did I know?
You don’t need to know that.
I don’t want to tell you.
“Hey, centipede, do you like it?”
[…Screeee… kill… me…!]
“Seems you like it so much you wanna die, hehe. I like it too.”
– ?
– I thought I heard you asking to be killed…
– Didn’t hear anything like that, right?
– Hahaha!
Squeak, squish
Wet splatters.
Swoosh…
Ah, nice and clean.
All done.
Now just sprinkle water on it…
[Screeee…!]
“Wow, it’s all clean now.”
– I’m alive!
– Centipede: save… me…
– Hahaha!
– Something’s funny about that centipede, haha!
– Hearing it almost sounds like it’s struggling…
It was completely different from the miracle of purification that cleansed its body.
The shell of the Bladed Centipede shined with a slick sheen. In fact, that luster was even faintly reflecting my face like a mirror.
Rubbing down each leg, making sure no soap bubbles were left behind, honestly, while its appearance didn’t change much, I felt extremely refreshed.
[Screeee…!]
Only then did the Bladed Centipede lift its head.
It sounded strangely powerless, but surely, the relaxing hot spring water and the soap had loosened it up.
“Where are you going?”
[…Screeee…?]
“Once we finish soaping, we still need to shampoo.”
– ?
– ??
– Huh?
– Isn’t shampoo for furry animals or something?
“It does have some fluffy things, doesn’t it?”
– No way! Hahaha!
– The centipede is experiencing a hell of a time…
Shampoo produces a lot more bubbles than soap, so handling this monster is crucial.
I had to block its breathing holes tightly with tentacles to prevent any shampoo bubbles from sneaking in.
[Screeee!]
“Alright, alright… It’s almost done. Almost there, just a bit more~”
– Feels like our gym teacher…
– Hahaha!
– All done = not done!
– Hahaha!
The moment it seemed like the centipede couldn’t take it anymore and was trying to escape, I forcefully pinned it down with sheer strength and quickly rubbed the shampoo all over.
Good. The bubbles are coming out fast, so it’s convenient.
Now, back to…
Swoosh…
“Ahhh, so clean. Doesn’t it look so nice after washing?”
[Screeee…!]
At that moment, something black shot out of the centipede’s mouth.
Don’t worry; it’s not a chunk of internal organs or blood.
It’s just something it ate earlier.
It seemed to have spit something out that wasn’t fully digested.
“Ah, I should turn on the camera.”
– ??
– ?
– Stop!
– Huh, what is it?
– It was good until now.
– Stop switching cameras!
The Bladed Centipede or my body could get ridiculously covered in bubbles, and that would totally mess with the filters.
After all, those malicious viewers would only need to hear the sounds to get enough enjoyment.
– Wait, whyyy!!!!
– You showed so much until now, sis!
– Ah…
– Oh…
[‘KawaiiHorned’ donated 100,000 won!]
Noona, please!
[‘Apple that was Remade’ donated 830,000 won!]
No, I mean you have a filter. Please, turn the camera back!
[‘MajesticFirst-Class’ donated 1,350,000 won!]
Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis! Please! Hurry! Bring the camera back to normal! Please!
[‘MajesticMiko’ donated 935,000 won!]
Sis, this is all my fortune, please show me! You have a filter!
“Yeah, no.”
Nah, I’m not doing it.
Honestly, it’s just annoying.
I’m completely focused right now on cleaning the centipede.
It’s nearly done, so turning the camera back on now feels a bit petty.
Two things are really important for making someone mad; one is stopping mid-sentence, and the other is tasting something good but never giving it to them fully.
“Alright, it’s still not over. Just a little longer.”
– When will it finally be over?!
– Save… me…
– It’s frustrating because I can only hear the sounds of water and soap goo, and my imagination is wild with it!
– For real…
“Really, it’s almost done.”
Phew, I didn’t sweat at all, but this was quite a tough task.
Aside from the centipede’s body being long, scrubbing and cleaning those countless squirming legs one by one by hand was a significant workload.
No joke, the number of legs could easily exceed a few hundred.
“Ugh, finally done.”
Afterwards, I rinsed the Lucky Bladed Centipede for about two hours alongside the hot spring.
Naturally, the broadcast got cut off in the middle.
The reason for turning on the stream in the first place was merely for an adequate report of survival for the viewers. I had no intention of completing a bath stream.
And if I were to do so, I’d rather do it with a human. Why would I go all the way with a centipede?
Still, what started off as a joke seemed to be rather enjoyable in the end.
Also, it’s been a while since I’ve cleaned myself like this.
Once upon a time, there were others who cleaned me and took care of me, but now I’m the one… well, technically, it’s an unusual monster like a centipede I’m dealing with… Anyway, it was quite a new experience.
When I stepped out onto the balcony, it was already dawn, the time when everyone was asleep.
Usually, the trainee members or agents dispatched from the Hunter Association would be frantic, but they had cut down their tasks significantly since they cleared the raid dungeon in just 24 hours, which was expected to take at least a week to two weeks.
It was quiet and peaceful.
Not a single insect sound, nor the noise of a wild beast could be heard.
The Lucky Bladed Centipede was still soaking in the hot spring water.
Seeing it breathe lightly, it seemed it had fallen asleep.
“Ah, it’s cold.”
As I leaned my heavy body against the balcony, I felt the chilly air and chill slither across my skin like a snake.
Feeling the pleasant chill, I gazed out at the outside scenery.
Yeongwoljung seemed quite far from Andong City. In this place, there wasn’t a trace of anyone, not even the most common cars.
It felt lonely, as if I was the only one left in this world.
Though I know I’m not alone, this loneliness always frightens me.
If I wait just a little longer, someone will come, and once the day breaks, this loneliness will fade away.
The viewers I was just chatting with a moment ago and the lively chat box had vanished as if they had been wiped away with the press of a hologram button.
“….It’s been a while.”
And amidst it all, I gazed down at the small fragment that had popped out of the mouth of the Lucky Bladed Centipede.
“It truly has been a long time…”
A gloomy, violet-black gem engraved with something like red as blood.
The gem was shattered as though torn by thunder, distinct from any ordinary jewel.
The reason I turned on the camera earlier was because of this.
“…….”
Old memories began to surface.
Not fond memories like nostalgia but nightmares I wished to forget, rising bit by bit.
An adaptive copy dungeon…
It wasn’t a particular threat to me.
But for hunters, it was a threat of a different dimension and a living dungeon that was entirely unlike existing ones, wicked and vicious.
As someone said, if I hadn’t been there, that place could have potentially become a threat to humanity, endlessly devouring other hunters.
A new dungeon that never existed before, along with the walkers I had seen in the ‘previous world’ as well.
I understood that all of this was caused by the unsightly gem in my hand, pulsating slowly.
And it was not just a gem. It was not a lifeless object either.
Though separated from the dungeon boss and consumed by the centipede, it was still alive.
I had seen this before.
No, it wasn’t just seeing it; I had relentlessly shattered, consumed, and chewed it until not a single piece remained.
In those old memories, I thought I would never see it again.
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1YlNQM0x2SFdsOWFNSFowZVVwbkg2N1JUblVzSnpwRkU5eDE5V0RidnRnUA
The fragment of the Demon King.
In the previous world, it was extinguished by me, Teresa, and Menelapie. The embodiment of malice itself.
“Demon King…”
I closed my eyes, staring at the fragment of the Demon King slowly pulsing in my hand.
