[Spirit of Lust] Chapter 104: A messy struggle. (Patreon)

Ishtar took a step back, sensing the danger the woman represented. With a graceful flick of the wrist, Nanami’s aunt cleaned her sword of blood, the drops splashing on the ground.

“So there really was something odd about you,” she said, eyeing them. Her eyes narrowed and she looked dazed for a single moment before she focused again. “Never mind. You’re not my mission today.”

‘Ishtar, what’s with her?’

‘Nanami told us she was being mind controlled, and now that I have her in front of me, I believe her. She feels just like Jack Evans. Her libido is completely suppressed. I can’t get a reading on her at all.’

‘She doesn’t seem interested in us, so maybe escaping would be a good option, but… We made a promise to get her back, didn’t we?’

‘And freeing her from Jack Evan’s control would give us a lot of info on the guy. We can’t miss this chance, Will. However…’

At that moment, the two remaining oni came rushing out of the cave, screaming their lungs out in rage. They threw themselves at Nanami’s aunt, but the woman swung her sword again, up and down in swift motions. The oni were cut from the groin to the neck and from the neck to the groin, falling lifeless on the ground, meters away from their chief. Nanami’s aunt walked into the cave calmly but alert.

‘…I think force is out of the question.’

‘…Can we play to your strengths?’

‘I see no other choice, Will. Remember how Nanami was afraid we had enthralled Reina and Ruth? I’m thinking we may be able to brainwash her to our side and release her after we’re sure she won’t try to kill us.’

‘Can we brainwash a woman without libido, though?’

‘Not from a distance like we have before, that I know. Also, I bet she does have a libido. Jack Evans probably sealed it to make a better puppet out of her. Think of Cynthia. She was also his puppet, but her libido woke her up from it and she fell in love with you. What we need to do now is reawaken this woman’s sex drive, take advantage of it and make her worship you. Momentarily, at least. I’m sure you want to avoid doing anything too drastic.’

‘It’s a strange situation. Is sexual assault better or worse than causing physical harm to someone we’re trying to save but who could easily kill us?’

‘I want to think she’d rather suffer some groping than a potentially fatal wound. And on that note, I think we should swap, Will.’

‘What’s your plan?’

‘Get close to her and try to hold her in place. When you do, I’ll handle the flow of sexual energy to try to enthrall her. You focus on keeping her still. I suppose I don’t need to tell you where to focus your hands, right?’

‘…I’ll let her punch me after we save her.’

‘She’s already heading into the cave. We have her cornered. Let’s go, Will!’

With that, they switched control of the body again.

William shook his head from the dizziness and approached the entrance to the cave with slow, careful steps. He needed to approach Nanami’s aunt, but she was fast enough with the sword to slice him in half in a split second. He couldn’t approach carelessly.

His eyes turned to the floor, to the lifeless body of an oni. Will let energy flow through his body, empowering it. He swallowed hard and leaned down to lift the oni’s body. The scent of blood hit his nose and brought him the closes to vomiting, but the adrenaline of the whole situation helped push it down. He held the giant’s body in front of him by the armpits. If he didn’t have enhanced strength, carrying the body would’ve been an impossible task.

With a meat shield in front of him, he entered the cave. The stench of blood hit him again, and he noticed that the oni he had left wounded were now dead, red streams flowing from their throats.

Will peeked into the prisoner room and found Nanami’s aunt there, kneeling in front of the white crystal that gave off the dim light that lit the cave.

“Days of searching only to find one in a damp, stinking cave. And serving as a mere light source, no less.” She picked it up in her free hand, and that was when Will decided to make his move.

He rushed into the room with the oni’s body still in front of him. Of course, Nanami’s aunt noticed him immediately, so with all the strength he had, Will threw the body towards her.

“Dammit!” she cursed and slashed at the lifeless oni, cutting it and diverting its course to the side. Will used that opportunity to get to her.

“Sorry about this!” He grabbed her wrist and clenched it hard enough that her grip on the sword weakened. With the sound of the blade hitting the ground, Will pushed Nanami’s aunt to the ground.

“What do you think you’re doing!?” she growled menacingly, struggling to get him off her.

“Trying to help you, if you’ll believe me!”

They thrashed on the ground for what seemed like hours but could’ve hardly been minutes. Will managed to hold both her wrist over her head and pinned them down with one hand while his body held her in place, his legs straddling her. She was surprisingly strong, and again, Will would’ve found himself losing if not for the strength sexual energy gave him.

With his free hand, Will did what he didn’t want to do. He grasped one of the woman’s huge breasts and squeezed as gently as he could, thumb searching and finding her nipple. Now Ishtar could do the rest. Will felt sexual energy flowing from his hand into Nanami’s aunt. The woman’s eyes widened in realization of what was happening, her body began to shudder, and her nipple began to harden.

‘Dammit! There’s something in the way!’

‘What do you mean?’

‘Something like a mental barrier. Clearly Jack’s doing. You need to touch her more.’

Will groaned internally. He began to rock his hips, trying to dry hump her. However, he found no excitement in his actions, and thus his dick didn’t respond. No matter how beautiful the woman below him was, doing what was practically rape felt disgusting.

‘You want to let go and have her slice your head, then!? We’ll apologize later! Do something, dammit! We need to get her horny!’

Will swallowed and leaned down with the intention of kissing her neck, but the moment he did the woman headbutted him hard.

Okay, he totally deserved it. The bigger problem was what came after.

Stunned and recoiling from the headbutt, Will’s grip on her wrists loosened. She reached out her hand for something to fight with, and her fingers found the worst possible weapon: remnants of the enchanted ropes that held the succubi captive.

Ropes enchanted to nullify sexual energy.
