EP.136 Holy Knight Ariel (2) 

Ariel was very confused by this situation. 

She didn't know how to make sense of this outcome. 

'Where did things go wrong? This shouldn't have happened...' 

The plan they had all carefully crafted together certainly had no issues. 

It was a plan where problems simply couldn't occur in the first place. 

The holy knights Ariel had brought along were those summoned here by Saintess Aris. 

It was a personal summons from the saintess containing a strictly private matter, not an official summons from the Airem Order. 

Like the female knights who had been carefully selected through rigorous screening to protect Saintess Aris's family staying at the secretly hidden mansion within the Order, these were personnel the saintess could entrust with personal matters at any time. 

Even while Saintess Aris was away from the Order after joining the hero's party, these knights had maintained periodic contact through secret letters and carried out the saintess's wishes in exchange for satisfactory compensation. 

And most of those tasks were dirty deeds that would naturally be called disgusting by ordinary people's standards. 

Of course, there was no major issue with the orders themselves. 

Regardless of the circumstances, being involved with demons or black magic in any way while staying in the south was a serious crime deserving of any punishment without room for complaint. 

Saintess Aris's orders were to deal with such criminals under the pretext of purification, so from the perspective of the holy knights following the saintess, it was not a bad arrangement as they could eliminate heretical elements while also earning satisfactory compensation. 

Nevertheless, the reason the entire group consisted of only male holy knights was because of the condition that defenseless women exposed during the purification process could be freely used as tools for sexual release by the male holy knights. 

In Ariel's case, she had never directly witnessed this process as she was busy taking care of Saintess Aris's family, but since most of the males were quite loose-lipped. 

If you mixed in among the holy knights and listened carefully, you could easily hear rumors that the knights personally employed by Aris had been engaging in such base acts. 

Yet those horny males had never been punished even once until now. 

Naturally, it was solely because they were important and cherished figures to Saintess Aris. 

That one reason transformed the males' crimes into mere minor transgressions. 

Having received such ridiculous protection and maintaining their status as holy knights while violating all kinds of women. 

Recently, compensation was no longer important to them. 

Having become completely addicted to the stimulating act of brutally fucking and discarding multiple females, all that mattered to them now was how many attractive females were around those heretics, not the amount of compensation they could receive. 

Therefore, the holy knights who came along had no reason to join this mission. 

It was not like they could fuck the women Choi Si-hyun kept as his personal bitches, and it would end with just taking one demon goddess. 

They could bring a goddess down to rock bottom and violate her mercilessly. 

While that content itself might tempt any male, the big problem was that this goddess was a historical figure that any holy knight belonging to the Order would know. 

Once, she was a goddess who bestowed her blessings infinitely upon the entire southern region. 

And later, she completely turned to the side of the demons in the north instead of the south, even receiving the loyalty of that mighty Demon King. 

Aris had made that Goddess Elina her new target. 

The content was to hunt down the goddess who had descended to earth using only the power of the holy knights, not led by Aris herself. 

It was truly an insane act. 

This was something Ariel and all the other holy knights had to agree on. 

Although Frey, who had headed to Choi Si-hyun's mansion, had left words saying she would spare Bell and Seri for them to use freely. 

It was far too dangerous to risk their lives hunting a goddess targeting those two. 

No matter how dominated by lust these males were, they needed their heads attached to hunt the next female. 

However. 

'You absolutely won't die. Don't worry, your lives won't be endangered by that goddess.' 

Saintess Aris made all of her subordinate holy knights head here without exception with just a somewhat long explanation. 

At first, no one wanted to believe it. 

It was content that could not elicit even a slight wavering. 

'Because Goddess Elina is nothing more than a weak bitch who cannot kill anyone.' 

No matter how little official historical record there was, as long as not a single living person remained who had confronted Elina, Aris's words could not carry any weight. 

At least by Ariel's standards. 

But soon after, strange things started happening. 

The moment Aris's holy magic touched the surrounding holy knights, they all simultaneously expressed their intention to follow Aris's will. 

Their faces looked as if they were entranced by something. 

But Ariel could not doubt the saintess at all. 

She herself was present there, and like the other holy knights, she was able to experience her mind clearing through Aris's holy magic. 

She just had to think that the desire to violate the goddess surged through their cleared minds. 

'Ariel-nim. Are you still doubting me?' 

'I apologize, Saintess-nim. I cannot agree with the idea that we alone can subdue that goddess.' 

'Hmm. Then I'd like you to consider why the others agreed with my thoughts.' 

'That's...' 

'I think Ariel-nim knows that those men didn't gather here with pure intentions to grant my request. You probably know everything - that they've committed countless acts that holy knights of the Order shouldn't do... and that even after this task is finished, their misguided desires will be directed entirely towards Goddess Elina.' 

'...Yes.' 

'Yet you still follow me. What's the reason for that?' 

'Because you trust me, Saintess-nim. Because you've made it so no other holy knight can dare covet my position.' 

'Yes. That's enough. I hope you'll make a wise decision, Ariel-nim.' 

Because those males swept up in such desires all expressed their intention to participate in the goddess hunt following the saintess's will, Ariel had to be there with them as their representative. 

Ariel did not want to come down from this position that had become firmly established even within the Order. 

Therefore, to protect her own power, she absolutely could not refuse Saintess Aris's request. 

That's how Ariel ended up joining this mission. 

And because she was certain there was no reason for Aris to deceive and send to their deaths those who had been her capable tools. 

She firmly believed those words of Aris even until after they had successfully surrounded Elina. 

It was certainly like that, but. 

"Uuugh...!" 

"Stay still. If you keep squirming, I'll cut off your limbs first." 

How had she ended up in this position of being threatened by Elina? 

Ariel trembled with a shame she had never felt before in her life. 

Her wrists were tied and both arms raised above her head. 

Both ankles were also chained to the wall and her legs lifted up to her head. 

In a state of near-nudity with only torn stockings and panties. 

Ariel felt more ashamed of being restrained in this vulgar position with her legs spread wide open than having her breasts exposed outdoors like this. 

So. 

Kwaak. 

"Huut...!" 

The moment Elina grabbed one of her breasts, she had to tremble as a moan suddenly escaped her lips. 

'Why is my body... like this? Just from having my breast touched... I feel strange...' 

"Eut... Haut..." 

Elina slowly kneaded Ariel's breast as she spoke. 

"It's strange. It couldn't have been easy to protect your virgin pussy while mixed in with those males..." 

Ariel clenched her teeth. 

She didn't want to let out any more of these lewd moans. 

"Or were you just too stupid to know anything about sexual desire?" 

"......" 

"To think you dared to insult the goddess with that attitude..." 

Elina squeezed her hand tightly. 

"Heuuk...!" 

"Honestly, a stupid bitch like you who doesn't know anything about the saintess isn't worth keeping alive... But thanks to me discovering suspicious magic in your body, you're able to stay alive like this. You should live the rest of your life grateful to the goddess." 

"......" 

"You need to answer." 

"Eut...! Th-thank... you...!" 

Elina smirked. 

"As you said, when I searched the surrounding magic, I was able to find traces of our sisters right away. I confirmed everything - that they escaped through a dimensional gate, and that the elf Frey was subdued by sister Yuliana." 

"Ahng...! Hahng...!" 

"Now all that's left is to find out whose magic this is. You'll do it yourself." 

Ariel squeezed her eyes shut then opened them. 

She didn't even know such magic was in her body. 

But to figure out about it... 

Cold sweat soaked her entire body due to that overwhelming task. 

However, the biggest problem was something else. 

"Hauut...! E-E-Elina-nim...! Please be gentler... Ahng! Hauhng...!" 

"If you want me to stop, use your head to find the answer. Ariel." 

Elina's touch felt too good. 

So she felt like she would end up revealing the information about the saintess that she had desperately kept hidden. 

'If you please the goddess, I'll do something that feels even better for you.' 

Those words she had heard earlier were sounding incredibly tempting now. 

Ariel kept trembling as she felt her lower region getting wet.
