Chapter 1074 – Beast of Possibility, Symbol of Purity

000

What is a unicorn?

The species, commonly called the Holy Unicorn, is a phantom beast that is said to be the most mysterious among the remaining demonic beasts in this world, and is also a demonic beast.

They have white fur, and although they do not have wings like Pegasus, they move around the ground on legs with innate leg strength and mysterious magical power.

To them, the latitude of wide-open plains and the latitude of mountainous mountains that cannot be guessed as to how difficult they are no different.

Because of its beauty and strength, humans have fantasized about unicorns since ancient times, and if possible, they wanted to train them like other horses and ride on their backs.

In fact, some humans were recognized by the rare unicorn and were allowed to ride on its back with a saddle.

He would have performed a remarkable performance on the battlefield or on an adventure by running around with a unicorn.

Humans who saw unicorns living with humans like that would think.

If the number of individuals is small, shouldn’t they increase it themselves? Just like it has been until now.

However, they soon found out that that thought was arrogance.

That is the characteristic of the race itself of the magical beast called the unicorn – or rather, it can be said to be a flaw.

Symbolizing purity and eternity, they cause a rejection reaction to contact with their bodies by those who are ‘unpure’, that is, by beings who are not virgins or virgins.

But what if he himself loses his innocence?

Unfortunately, the unicorn’s soul was not strong enough to withstand the cognitive dissonance.

As a result, the moment their bodies lost their purity, they could no longer be ‘holy water’.

Loss of divine magic power.

Perhaps, the divine magic they possess is a power obtained in exchange for their own unchanging nobility and purity.

The moment when humans tried to breed unicorns.

Whether the unicorn is male or female─ their horns, which are the source of divine power, split open.

It was stretched out in a straight line without bending, as if the unwavering ‘purity’ had been torn apart.

And at the same time, they lose the divine power they had.

Their body hair, which was white mixed with silver, instantly changes to black mixed with purple, and their rational and beautiful ‘blue eyes’ turn ‘red’, a symbol of greed and runaway instincts.

The two split horns bend at each location like a mountain goat symbolizing the devil, forming a new shape.

What remained in that place was no longer anything like holy water.

‘Bicorn’

Like a unicorn, it is a type of magical beast that takes the form of a horse, but its nature is completely opposite to that of a unicorn.

He freely manipulates dark magic that is so thick that it feels black and sticky, rather than divine magic.

As if there is no such thing as reason, he is violent and self-willed, never obeys people and does not let anyone ride on his back.

Excluding their own people, if there is anything a human can do in front of them who do not distinguish between friends and enemies and explode with black lightning and devastate the surrounding area-

Those who are powerless hope that their death will come at once and without pain.

All a powerful person could do was risk his life to subdue this living, typhoon-like being so that he could sleep in eternal peace.

As a result, it was almost impossible to breed unicorns in livestock farms managed by humans.

Fortunately, even if unicorns that became bicorns mate with each other, the ones that are born are unicorns, so the population is maintained.

─In other words, I explained this and that at length, but let me summarize briefly.

It is said that if anyone causes a unicorn to lose its virginity, a monster bicorn that is difficult to handle is born in its place.

“There’s no way you didn’t know that… But what did you tell me to bring now?”

[… This is the virgin blood of the ‘unicorn’ that is petrified right next to you. And that is not just blood, but blood that occurred at the moment when one truly lost one’s ‘purity.’]

[This dog perverts…!]

I can hear Galatea swearing next to me.

“…Thank you, Galatea, for saying what I wanted to say.”

Cleon must have thanked his partner like that and glared at the ceiling where Laplace’s voice was heard.

“I’ve heard that unicorn horn… Is used as a medicinal ingredient. I’ve also heard that it’s one of the ingredients needed to make elixir.”

[The story about elixir is a bit exaggerated, but it is true that unicorn horn is an excellent material. However, a horn is not enough to neutralize Darwin’s medicine.]

It was said that the ‘sacred power’ that the unicorn had accumulated throughout its life was drained from the unicorn’s virgin blood.

The sacred power of a unicorn comes from a genetic oath (gears) made through maintaining its own nobility.

If the oath is broken, the unicorn becomes corrupted and becomes a ferocious demon, and at the same time, the ‘oath’ built up in its body is drained along with the ‘power’.

In other words, the virgin blood of a unicorn is the ‘extract’ of all that.

If you use that extract, you can make a treatment that is incomparably more powerful than when it is made from horn.

[As a bonus, in the case of male unicorns, they escape with the first ejaculation. As it is fertilized by the female’s egg…]

“Aaaaah! You’re so good at telling me stories I don’t want to know!”

Cleon, who he truly disliked, interrupted Laplace.

[… Then I’ll leave the explanation here. Please collect it without spilling it. There will be a flask for sample recovery near the entrance, so use it.]

Cleon felt his entire body drain from Laplace’s words and turned his head to look near the entrance.

Then, I was able to see that the red box contained a glass flask, just as he said.

Even if you take that flask in your hand, you will sigh and look at Uni, who was sitting behind you.

She was frozen in place, her face still bright red, as if she had used up all of her brain’s resources.

“Uni.”

Cleon called her name, but there was no answer.

Her unfocused eyes seemed to be spinning in a whirlpool.

Ha.

Sigh again.

Cleon carefully returned the flask in her hand to the red box ─

She literally puts her hand on her uni’s shoulder.

Then.

“Quyaek!”

She made a voice more strange than any noise she had heard before, and she grabbed Cleon’s arm and tried to throw him over.

Then-

Cradangtang!

Cleon quickly moved away from Uni with her fall technique, widening a safe distance from her.

With that, Yuni came back to her senses and looked down at her hands and then looked at Cleon.

“I’m sorry, Cleon!! My body is on its own again!”

“… No, it’s okay. A unicorn’s instinct is to reject beings that are not pure…”

Cleon shook his head at Yuni’s apology, and said she would shake off her hand as well.

Then, he looked at her and spoke.

“… Laplace’s story. How much have you heard?”

“I’m sorry, my wife… Blood, I can’t remember after hearing that blood is needed…”

“… No, it’s okay.”

It’s worth it. Because it was such a shocking sentence.

Cleon nods her head in understanding.

“If what he said… I think I really need your ‘blood’ to save Nemeia. But… You know, right? For a unicorn to lose her virginity…”

“… Yes. I know, my horn will split, and I will become a ‘Bicorn’…”

After Yuni answered, she closed her mouth for a moment and moved her gaze.

After looking at the floor, ceiling, hands, and then back at Cleon.

“B-but… If it’s to save Nemeia, I…”

In Uni’s mind, memories of the day she met Nemeia appear.

A friend and family member who has been with him since he was still in his original form as a unicorn.

Her, her predator, and herself, her herbivore.

Although there was a big difference, Nemeia always protected her young self in this environment where it was difficult for demonic beasts to survive unless they worked together on the Axis Dragon Mountain.

Of course, the holy beast, the unicorn, soon followed in Nemeia’s footsteps and grew into a guardian who protects the flock—

If it weren’t for Nemeia, she wouldn’t be where she is today.

So, even if she might end up becoming something else, not a unicorn.

If I could be with such a precious family—

“I am willing—”

“Wait a minute. You don’t have to make such a hasty decision.”

Cleon stopped Yuni from responding for a moment and then looked at her with the kindest expression she could muster.

“Right now, Nemeia is in a tank to keep her condition from getting worse. That means she’s fine right now, no matter how much time passes. I also have friends who have a lot of knowledge about magic, so they and I’s not too late to find a way after joining.”

Due to Cleon’s calm and rational words, Yuni’s gaze stopped shaking and she and him were able to look at each other directly.

“Really?”

“Ah. I know very well that you value your family, but I don’t know what will happen if you become a bicorn.”

Perhaps, there is a possibility that Uni will run away and turn this area into a wasteland.

“That’s right…”

Uni nodded once as if she agreed with Cleon’s words, then she hesitated for a moment and rubbed the tip of her index finger.

“And… The need for my virgin blood means… That me and Cleon… Need to do something dirty…”

“Huh?”

After hearing that for a moment, Cleon must have looked like he had been hit.

Now that I think about it, Laplace particularly emphasized the part about ‘virgin blood that has lost its purity’.

Cleon’s idea of ​​her method of collecting blood was that she would use her tools to extract her blood from within herself and put it in her flask –

… If you think about it, there was a high possibility that using the tool would not lead to ‘loss of virginity’.

That means—

‘So you put me in this space with you… Laplace, you bastard…!’

Finally, she realized that Cleon, who was the only one in her group who was okay, was being used as a ‘tool’ to obtain her virgin blood.

Cleon lifted her hand towards Uni, covering her forehead with her hand.

“I’m sorry. I hadn’t even thought about it until then. … Let’s talk about this after I join my colleagues.”

“I see! I understand! Ah, haha…”

Uni responds awkwardly, blushing even more at Cleon’s reaction.

“And we can’t even hold hands with Cleon, so suddenly doing something like that is difficult…!”

“Ah, that’s right…”

Yuni tried to follow Cleon’s words, joking that it wasn’t such a joke and reassured that fortunately, she wouldn’t have to change her name to ‘Vi’ at this point—

[I see, that’s a shame.]

“Ah. I’m sorry, but please let me out of here. I think it would be better to take my time and think leisurely.”

Cleon responded to Laplace’s voice, which seemed a little disappointed somewhere.

However, the answer that came back was a little different from what Cleon expected.

[No. It meant that I was sorry for you that I was late in hearing that decision.”

“… What?”

Next moment.

[Completion of sealing procedures at external connections, including vents. We begin forced breeding experiments on individuals within the facility.]

When a voice different from Laplace’s echoes from the ceiling, Cleon will look around the room in confusion.

And the next moment, when I thought I heard an ominous sound like ‘cheeeee’, something like a pink gas was sprayed out from a hole in the ceiling.

“Hey Laplace! What is this? Open the door!”

[I’m sorry. That room is designed so that it cannot be opened no matter how violent the demonic beasts are inside. It won’t open until a set time has passed. And that gas is an improved version of the gas collected from ‘Naryong Mountain’ among the Sarong Mountain Range.]

“Ugh…!”

A sweet smell fills the room.

It was as if the gas mixed with the air had entered Cleon, and he suddenly felt his body temperature jump and his heart pound.

“Yu, Yuni… You can’t breathe this in…”

It’s a little late, but Cleon will talk while covering his mouth with his hand-

A unicorn’s lung capacity is much larger than that of a human, and the amount of gas it takes in each time it breathes is on a completely different level.

“Uh, Laa…?”

As Yuni stretched her tongue, she felt her whole body weaken for a moment.

“Say! What kind of gas is this!”

[It is called mating desire release gas.]

“That’s an incredibly stupid name…! Uni, are you okay?!”

But that’s only for a moment.

As soon as her strength comes back, a ‘desire’ so intense that she has never felt before takes over her body.

Yuni felt the sexual desire itself for the first time.

This may be because unicorns either do not have an estrus phase or are very weak.

Considering her emergency, Cleon will approach Uni and try to cover her mouth with his hand, even though he anticipates what will happen to her.

The moment Cleon’s hand touched her body-

Wadangtang!

A loud sound rang out, and Cleon felt the world turn upside down.

That’s because as soon as Cleon’s body was thrown down, his head went down and his legs went up.

But what was different from usual was that even after that, he couldn’t move his body.

Because-

Ouch…!

This is because Cleon’s leg was held with such strong grip that it broke.

It was Yuni’s hand.

“Haaa…!!”

There, Uniga, whose saliva flows down her chin thanks to breathing through her mouth-

He was looking at Cleon with bloodshot eyes.

It’s no longer the innocent, girlish, healthy looking eyes of a herbivore-

It was the very look of a carnivore that went against its nature and was devoured by desire.
