Soul Eater Of The Rebellion

Experiment Begins

「Do you think you can get away with doing something like this?!」

The silence of the forest was broken by Miroslava’s echoing voice .

I responded to her with a sneer .

「I can . I acted with preparation . If you understand the situation you’re in right now you’d better be quiet . We’re already near the depths of the Thetis Forest」

「What?!」

Miroslava looked around in a panic . As expected from a high ranking adventurer, she seemed to have quickly understood that it wasn’t a lie .

Her face went pale .

「are you stupid?! What is a level one human doing here?! If you wanted to kill yourself, go ahead, but don’t drag me with you!」

「If anything, shouldn’t you be wondering how a level one human was able to make it this far? Miss magic caster who was pa.s.sed out until now」

「…A level one is here by himself with me? No, wait . How did you get past Ishka’s gate in the first place…?」

「I’ll slowly answer your questions after . We’re almost there . I’d like it if you just come along quietly like a grown up」

「–Don’t be ridiculous! Who the h.e.l.l is going to come with you willingly?!」

Like that, Miroslava quickly jumped up and distanced herself from me .

She looked at me as if she was looking at a monster .

『Embrace my enemy with death–Fiery princess!』

Without concentrating or chanting, Miroslava finished invoking her magic .

Immediately after, flames started to seep out of her in the form of a female’s arm and started to engulf my entire body .

My body was instantly covered in flames before I could even have a moment to resist .

And then, an explosion .

The sound of the loud explosion shook the surrounding trees violently, as a cloud of hot steam appeared .

Miroslava’s triumphant voice began to echo from the other side of the white steam that was blocking my field of vision .

「How’s that? My fire magic of the fifth ring, fiery princess . For a level one, seeing magic of the fifth ring must be like witnessing a G.o.d’s work . Oh, this version is a little weaker since I skipped the incantation, you know? You might have felt safe since I didn’t have my staff with me, but that’s just your low level naiveness . My earrings, rings and bracelets are all made with magic stones . I don’t need a staff to use magic」

I went into thought as I listened to her .

What should I do? I wonder if I should let her talk to herself for a bit longer . It’s a little funny, honestly .

Well, it’s not like it’s going to take up that much time . I kept my presence hidden and right when she was fully rejoicing over her victory, I slowly showed myself and started to mess with her .

「Oh no, it’s not like there’s any problem even if you have your staff with you . I just didn’t bring it along, you know?」

「……… . . Huhhhh?」

「I would have brought it along if I could . But I left it because it would be annoying to carry it along . Well, seeing your power, it might not even amount to much even if you had your staff」

When I finished talking, a gust of wind blew away the steam that was covering our vision .

Miroslava opened her eyes wide as if she saw something that she couldn’t believe .

「What…how? How are you still alive?!」

「That’s because your magic is too weak . Do you want to try using an incantation this time?」

「You…『Quick Flame arrows!』」

This time it’s flame arrows–well, a sped up version, huh…

In her words, it would be a fire spell of the second ring . It’s ranked lower than the spell before, but it could still blow someone’s head off if it hits .

Regardless of her personality, she was an excellent magic caster after all .

While thinking about things like that, I opened my mouth wide .

And–

「*Haah*!!」

With a booming voice, I erased the flame arrows .

Miroslava was dumbfounded when she saw this . This red haired magic caster stared at me in surprise and took a few steps back in disbelief .

「No way…Y-you just dispersed my magic with a yell?!」

「Cancelling your magic with a yell? You’re talking as if I’m a monster . That was a burst of Kei」

「A burst of Kei…?」

「It’s magic of my homeland . To put it in a magic caster’s words, it’s something like…releasing the magic energy inside of your body to cancel out magic, I guess?」

「Stop your bulls.h.i.t! There’s no way you can use life force to cancel out magic that was created with mana, let alone my magic as a level one human!」

「It’s fine if you don’t want to face the reality in front of you . It’s not like there’s a need for you to accept it」

With that said, I quickly closed the distance between me and Miroslava .

Her lack of reaction was probably due to her being in shock still .

I put my right hand on her hips and restrained her movements quickly as I grabbed her jaw with my left hand–

「W-what are you doing—?!」

I brought my lips as close to hers as possible just like that .

After a smirk to the stiffened Miroslava, who didn’t realize the situation she was in, I started to eat this magic caster’s soul .

The reason why I thought of imprisoning Miroslava was pretty much for an experiment .

It’s not because I wanted to see if I could train this c.o.c.ky, saucy, cunning, wicked woman who has nothing good other than her face and body, into an obedient slave by imprisoning her . No, I said that wasn’t it .

It was because of what I discovered when I ate that soul back at the brothel that made me want to do some experiments .

At that time, my level went up to six from devouring the soul of that prost.i.tute .

You could go so far as to say that means I could level up by embracing women instead of defeating monsters from now on .

However, the prost.i.tute who had her soul eaten by me was in a condition where she was constantly gasping for air afterwards .

It was definitely the result of having her soul eaten past the allowable limit . If more cases like that were to happen, the people around will start to grow suspicious . If the truth came to light, I might become a target for subjugation .

Honestly, what I’m doing is like what vampires do .

To avoid that situation from happening, I have to learn about my own abilities .

What is the limit to eating someone’s soul? How much time does it take for the woman to recover after I eat her soul? Will they recover in the first place? Can I control my soul-eating ability according to my will?

There are many other things that I would like to test .

However, there certainly are tons of problems if I were to put all those questions into practice .

I can’t afford to visit a brothel every time I wanted to test something . That incident from the other day in the red light district might have already been noted .

Under these circ.u.mstances, it might be all over in the unlikely event that the person I’m running tests on dies .

I thought of doing the experiments with care for the subject, but then they might act crazy or I might not be able to obtain accurate information if that I did that .

Therefore, the best person to use to solve all those problems with would be Miroslava .

My heart wouldn’t hurt if I accidently killed this person . I could even perform the experiments without mercy .

Honestly, I wouldn’t go so far as to do this to Iria or Lunamaria . I would only do this to Miroslava .

While I was eating her soul, Miroslava, who was now back in my arms, started flapping her arms and feet around like crazy to resist .

But this level of resistance is nothing but child’s play to me .

It might be dangerous if she could use her magic, but no matter how good a magic caster is, there’s no way they can use their spells going completely chantless .

Even in the cases of skipping their chants, they still have to call out the keywords of the spell like “Fiery princess” or “Flame arrows” . It was impossible for her to make a sound right now since our lips were joined .

The lips of the prost.i.tute from before tasted like some rich and sweet alcohol .

But kissing with Miroslava has a tingling, hot and spicy flavor . How should I describe this? Hm… If I were to compare this to something, it’d be something like the taste of spicy ginger alcohol .

It was kind of similar to the prost.i.tute but not quite . Does this taste different per person? Or is it due to the emotions the person held towards me?

I quickly started my experiment with those questions in my head .

When I wrapped my arms around her waist, Miroslava’s resistance intensified more than ever as the hot feeling in my mouth got so hot that it felt like it could burn .

…Hm . As I thought, the taste of the human is affected by their emotions . Anger, shame, humiliation, and such .

I enjoyed the act of her resisting for a while– then I continued my experiments .

She still tried to struggle occasionally, but her physical capability as a magic caster was nothing compared to my body that was covered in kei .

Quite some time had pa.s.sed when I realized it .

Well, unlike the time at the brothel, it was half my intention to draw it out this time .

I looked at the face of the pinned down magic caster, Miroslava .

While looking exhausted, she glared back at me with eyes full of anger, hate and disgust .

Being looked at by those kind of eyes, my body shook from a strong beat that came from somewhere inside of my heart .

Attacked by the sudden boiling impulse, I wanted to get on top her again, but we were still in the middle of the forest .

It would be miserable if I was attacked by monsters during the time I’m busy with her .

With deep breaths, I brought myself back under control .
