## Chapter 751 – Paladin Kim Kat

“I can feel the power…!!!”

Hilde said, spreading her wings, which had grown larger along with her horns, and her figure had become even more enhanced.

She had torn her robe earlier to show the power of the sacred barrier womb, so her attire was quite revealing, but thanks to that, the changes in her body were visible in real-time.

This was truly Demon Sexy…!

“I can feel it too!”

I got hard!

By absorbing a portion of the power of Berial, the Great Archdemon of Hell and former Overlord, Hilde’s status as a succubus had risen.

Was Berial actually a good guy?

Not only did Vihal’s holy sword power increase, but Hilde’s power also increased. He was a true collaborator of Fusion Confucianism. The encounter was short, but its impact would last a lifetime. Does that even make sense?

“Haa… I’m sure of it! Absorbing Berial’s power has increased my strength! Look at my horns and wings!!”

Hilde said, looking down at her body here and there. She seemed quite excited. Of course, I was excited too!

“And my breasts and hips!!”
“Yes! I like this the most! You like it too, Kat!”
“Very much!”

How could I not like it!

“Kyaa, my breasts feel heavier!! And my butt… eugh!”

Her breasts had grown by about two sizes, and her hips and butt were also larger and heavier than before. Nevertheless, seeing her firm flesh, I couldn’t help but get an erection.

What luck!

“Okay, everyone, give her a round of applause!! Hilde has grown up!!!”

ㅡJiggle jiggle.

Hilde, in high spirits, jumped around in her revealing attire, causing her two-sizes-larger breasts to jiggle and enrich my heart inhumanly. They were a bit smaller than Winia’s, but the fact that they were that big was enough to blow away all my stress.

ㅡClap clap clap clap.
ㅡClap clap clap clap.
ㅡClap clap clap clap.
ㅡClap clap clap clap.

Anyway, everyone applauded at Hilde’s request.

“Well, congratulations. How the hell did they get so big?”
“Congratulations.”
“Hehehe, congratulations.”
“You got lucky.”
“I can’t believe it. How did they get so big?”
“C-congratulations.”

Today was a happy day.

Not only did we kill a Great Archdemon, but Hilde’s breasts got bigger. If you don’t applaud on a day like this, then the very existence of “applause” is meaningless. Applause was a concept created purely for today.

ㅡClap clap clap clap clap!

I also applauded like an enthusiastic fanatic.

“Thank you so much!!”

Hilde, expressing her gratitude, hugged the other women one by one. She enjoyed the joy of victory and the joy of growth for a while. And I put my cloak, which I had taken off, on Hilde.

Doing good deeds brings good fortune after all.

That’s why I can’t stop doing good deeds. If I were to put this academically, it could be called Good Deed Syndrome, and I should seriously research this.

Right, Vihal?
ㅡOf course, friend!

Ah, damn it. I’m going crazy because it’s so good.

“But Hilde, how much stronger did you actually get? Your figure is definitely noticeable.”
“Well… I’d say my power as a succubus has increased a bit? Right now, my magic power and my abilities are definitely stronger than before. This is the power of the Overlord Berial…!”

Hilde explained, looking at her palm in an analytical tone. She would know her own power best. The ability to detect demons and the power of other magic would also have become stronger.

“But I don’t think I can use this power right away. It feels like I need to refine it for a while? Only when I truly make it my own can I call it my power.”
“Ah! Of course, you should! Let’s rest well when we get home!”

Of course, if your power has increased, you need to research and practice to make it your own! Hilde, who had accepted the teachings of Fusion Confucianism into her heart, knew that very well.

“Yes! When we get back, I need to research my enhanced power!! All for Kat! Long live Fusion Confucianism!”
“Of course!!”

Such a lovely ambition…!

“But.”
“Hmm?”
“Maybe… Kat.”

As she was shouting cheers, Hilde said cautiously.

“If I keep increasing my power like this, I might be able to become a Succubus Queen.”
“What?”

Succubus Queen?

“Tell me more.”

That’s too interesting.
Our Hilde could become a queen?

Then I have to make her a queen.

“It’s not certain yet. I’m just saying that if I raise my status as a succubus like this, I might be able to become a Succubus Queen. Actually, I don’t really know much about ‘Queens’ myself.”

Status, huh.

I don’t know how the succubus race works, but the fact that Hilde thought this way means there must be a reason.

If you get stronger, you become a queen?
From a demonic perspective, that makes sense.

It’s a plausible story.

“If I gain the qualifications to be a queen, something will probably change in my body. I’ll let you know then.”

Risha also listened carefully to Hilde’s explanation.
She had a few things to do when she got back.

Let’s think about that when we get there.

“Okay. Let me know then. Anyway, good job, Hilde.”
“Yes! It’s great!”
“But if you really become a queen… does that mean the Succubus Queen becomes my woman?”
“You’re truly a blessed man! The master of the Succubus Queen! Kat, you’re so cool! The coolest and best in the world!”
“Ah. I’m embarrassed.”

In fact, Alrune, the Queen of Flowers, is also my woman and gives me milk every morning. Of course, Ari is not Alrune. She’s my flower.

Still, thinking about it like this makes my heart tingle.

Yeah… the queens are my women.
Very good.

It’s a good thing.

“More than anything, Kat! I suddenly feel confident! I’m going to squeeze you dry all night long, so be prepared!!”
“Hehehe, ah. I really wish you would. Are you confident, Hilde?”
“Hilde is more confident than ever!”

She says that, but she’ll probably just arch her back and faint as soon as I put it in, but she’s saying it so cutely, so I’ll just have to let her win one day.

“Anyway.”

I need to clean up now.
I killed the Great Archdemon, so the work is done.

“Let’s investigate this place for a bit. I need to see if there’s anything here.”
“Yes!”

So we investigated the empty basement.

There wasn’t much. The deepest part of this bright dungeon had lost all its green light as Berial disappeared.

It had become dark.

But it wasn’t a problem because we had light magic.

The wide space was circular. In the center, a large elevator stretched towards the ceiling like a coffin. Other than that and the patterns densely engraved on the walls, there was nothing special.

The restraints that had bound Berial had also disappeared without a trace. This place had become completely empty. All traces of Berial, everything, had vanished.

“This is strange.”

Risha said, confirming it.

“I can’t even begin to guess what he was doing with Berial’s power.”
“Yeah. What is it?”
“I confirmed that this dungeon was being powered by Berial’s power. But he wouldn’t have used his power just for that reason. Wouldn’t you agree? Creating a dungeon that uses Berial’s power to power the dungeon? That doesn’t make sense.”

That’s right.

Powering the dungeon is just a secondary task. There must be another main purpose.

But I can’t even begin to guess what it is.

Why was this dungeon created? And why was it forgotten and abandoned? In fact, I don’t even know if this dungeon was built hundreds of years ago. Hilde only called Berial a former Overlord, but she didn’t know the exact period.

Demons have a different sense of time than humans, so they wouldn’t know the exact time. Should I look up information about Berial at the church? Let’s keep it in mind for now.

I’ll know someday.

“Hmph…”

I took my time and searched every nook and cranny, just in case, but nothing came out. Hilde and Risha also said they didn’t feel any special energy.

There was nothing to take…

“Damn it.”

There was no evidence that I killed Berial or anything like that. How am I going to report this to the Saintess? And it’s ambiguous to explain how I came all the way down here.

There’s too much to hide.
I need to think about it.

I need to write a report, writing and deleting things, and submit it when it seems appropriate, but if I do that, it’ll be almost in the realm of fiction. Should I just conclude that I caught a few golems and bury the Berial thing?

I need to think about this on the way back.

“Hmph, but. He was really a pushover.”

As I was thinking, Karin said, touching her lips. Liz and Risha nodded in agreement.

“He was sealed, so it couldn’t be helped. Why, sis? Did you want to kill a ‘real’ one?”
“If I’m going to kill one, I need to kill one of that caliber to make it an achievement, right?”
“That’s true.”

Honestly, Berial was a pushover.

Still.

The `complete Berial` would have been quite strong.

Honestly, even Andromalius was that strong. He only manifested one arm. He pressured the paladins with just that. In the end, Claudie cut off his head, though.

The reason we were able to easily chop Berial into pieces was because he had been sealed for a long time and had weakened, becoming a cripple.

Honestly, a proper battle can’t be established with a guy who’s tied up and messed up. It’s natural to win unilaterally.

Even the Swordmaster, who is said to be the strongest assassin in the kingdom, could be killed by neighborhood kids if he was tied up in a hyper restraint for a year, not given proper food, and turned into a cripple.

This was that kind of story.
Let’s be grateful that he wasn’t complete.

Honestly, he would have been huge, his tentacles would have been super strong, and above all, his head would have been bizarre like a hammerhead shark. Moreover, he was called an Overlord, so there’s no way such a guy would be weak.

But whatever.

Even if he was in perfect condition, I don’t think we wouldn’t have been able to fight with our power. My women aren’t ordinary women.

I need to get stronger quickly.

“Hilde, how strong is a proper Great Archdemon?”

Karin asked Hilde.

“Hmm… I don’t know. They’re probably very strong. Honestly, I don’t know exactly because I haven’t seen such beings myself. But I know very well that they are extremely fearsome beings.”

It seems Hilde doesn’t know exactly either.

Karin nodded at the answer, but she didn’t seem satisfied.

“Claudie, how was Andromalius? You said he only manifested one arm, right?”
“Hmm, I don’t know? He was strong. But not to the point where I couldn’t handle him. I was able to cut off his head.”

Claudie took the opportunity while the paladins, I, and Captain Bakarel were fighting Andromalius and cut off his head.

“I was watching his movements and waiting for an opportunity. With my low mana, I had to kill him in one shot without getting hurt.”

This is Claudie’s strategy.

Just killing the opponent without getting hurt.

“It would have been okay to fight Andromalius head-on to find out his exact strength, but there’s no need to do that when there’s a better way.”
“That’s certainly true.”

Karin seemed quite disappointed.

Anyway, there was nothing to take.

There was nothing more to find out.
We turned around without regret and approached the elevator.

ㅡGreeee.

It was still running. The door opened automatically as we approached. Is it running because Berial’s power is still lingering?

It’s like a kind of reserve power.

But it might stop soon.

“Are the golems still moving?”

Winia asked.

“I don’t know. I’ll have to go up to find out.”
“They have to be moving.”
“Why?”
“If they don’t move, it’ll be hard to compete. Even insignificant guys will crawl in and fight to take them.”
“Hehehe, that’s true.”

I need to take as many cores as I can on the way.
Even if I sell those, it’ll be a profit.
