Evening.
The Central Plaza.
Joffrey swung his sword, pushing Jung Yu-shin back.
Kkaaaaaang!!!
Sword clashed against sword, and sparks flew violently.
Jung Yu-shin parried Joffrey's blade while circling around him.
It was like the behavior of a beast stalking bleeding prey.
Cold sweat poured down Joffrey's forehead like a stream.
'Son of a bitch!'
He's out of his mind. In all my life, I've never seen a lunatic who puts laxatives on his sword.
If it were a paralyzing poison, I could at least try to do something with detoxification magic.
But since it was laxatives, there was no way.
The crazy Barbaroi lunged in again, swinging his sword.
Swaaaaaaaaaek!!!
From top to bottom.
A diagonal Slash.
Joffrey swung his sword in response.
Kkaaaaaang!!!
Sparks flew, and the two men entered another contest of strength.
Joffrey grit his teeth. If he relaxed his tension even a little, it felt like something watery and sticky would burst out of his anus.
Beyond the clashing swords, the Barbaroi grinned.
"Let it out. Pudeudeuk."
Pudeudeuk?
"Hu, hu-eot!"
Joffrey's expression went blank for a moment before turning pale.
How could he make the sound of shitting with his mouth?
And in the middle of a fight, no less!
He's a total lunatic.
Kkadeudeuk!!!
Joffrey gnashed his teeth and pushed the Barbaroi away with all his might.
However, the Barbaroi had no intention of backing down and held his ground firmly.
"Joffrey-ya, your stomach is making noises. Ggureuk-ggureuk. Buruk-buruk."
In that instant.
Joffrey's posture changed strangely. He squeezed his thighs together and pushed his Buttocks back slightly.
Due to the continuous verbal torture, the strength in his anus faltered, and a little bit leaked out.
Pik!
Whether it was good luck or bad, only a very wet fart escaped.
The Barbaroi's face contorted into a grimace.
"That smell is absolutely foul. Did you really shit just because I told you to? You filthy bastard!"
"S-Ska! You... you crazy bastard!"
Joffrey swung his sword wide and backed away.
On the other hand, Ska backed away while holding his nose.
Joffrey raised one hand.
'Now!'
It was time to show the magic of the Elemental School he had honed for a long time.
[Fire Ball]
Joffrey screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Die!!!"
A ball of fire blazed and flew toward Ska.
Huuuuung!!!
Several people in the crowd watching the Duel widened their eyes in surprise.
"Heot?!"
"A-A sudden Fire Ball?!"
Even if it was just a Fire Ball, the basic magic of the Elemental School, a direct hit would be a fatal wound.
The Fire Ball rapidly closed in on Ska.
However, Ska didn't move and simply watched the Fire Ball.
The startled novice Explorers gaped.
"What are you doing?! Why aren't you dodging!!!"
The Fire Ball was already right in front of him. Since it was close range to begin with, there was no place to dodge.
A deep smile played on Joffrey's face.
"Hehehe."
No matter how excellent a Warrior one was, they shouldn't be able to deal with a Fire Ball that suddenly appeared and flew at them from right in front of their eyes.
Serves him right.
In that desperate moment.
Jung Yu-shin raised his hand.
Upon his wish, a golden arming sword was generated.
[Fate Breaker]
The Aura Blade that had severed the terrible fates of the wolf fellow and Dietrich, those two pathetic men, shone brightly.
Flash!!!
A sharp, crescent-shaped golden sword energy burst forth and bisected the Fire Ball.
"What?!"
The bewildered Joffrey gaped.
What kind of attack could split magic entirely like that?!
The golden sword energy didn't stop there and flew in a straight line toward Joffrey.
"Hueoooook!!!"
Joffrey scrambled and rolled across the ground.
The sword energy passed over Joffrey's head and struck the barrier.
Jjeojeojeok!!!
One of the mages maintaining the barrier screamed.
"C-Crazy!!! It's breaking!!!"
Chaaaaaaaang!!!
The barrier shattered into pieces, and fragments of mana fell from the sky like shards of glass.
Simultaneously.
Bbeooooooooong!!!!!
The fireball, split into two, exploded as it passed by Jung Yu-shin.
The ground broke apart, sending up stone dust and debris.
An immense heat swept through the plaza.
"H-Hurry and reconstruct the barrier!!! Call more people!!!"
An old Mage shouted urgently, raising his hands.
Jung Yu-shin didn't stop and burst through the cloud of dust.
Joffrey raised his hand again.
"You crazy bastard!!!"
[Ice Spear]
Basic magic of the Elemental School that would pierce and kill if hit properly.
Joffrey finished the incantation in an instant. Five sharp ice spears were generated in the air.
Jung Yu-shin's eyes grew cold.
'As expected of level 20.'
Even for simple magic, his incantation speed was on a different level compared to other mages.
But there was no need to worry. He had a solution.
Jung Yu-shin also raised his hand at the same time.
[Telekinesis]
Invisible hands reached out toward the ice spears.
"Please just die!!!"
Contrary to Joffrey's wish, the ice spears didn't fly; they hovered in the air and vibrated.
Joffrey was aghast.
"What?! D-Don't tell me, Telekinesis!"
Is he really level 10!
How on earth did he build up that level of mental power?
It made no sense.
The ice spears lost their mana and fell to the ground.
Jung Yu-shin charged forward, holding his arming sword in a reverse grip.
His intention to engage in close-quarters combat was clear.
Joffrey had no choice but to raise his sword again.
Kkaaaaaang!!!
Sparks flew, and Joffrey was pushed back.
"Y-You cowardly bastard!!! S-Stop!!! I'll tell everyone you put laxatives on your sword!!!"
"You just destroyed the evidence yourself."
"...!"
"The laxative I got is weak against heat."
The laxative Dietrich had obtained was a special elixir from the Coast Guard Clan.
He didn't know why the Coast Guard Clan was manufacturing such a drug, but since it was effective, he didn't care much.
At Jung Yu-shin's reply, Joffrey's face turned pale.
What have I done?
He never dreamed that the move he thought was a saving grace would turn out to be the one that strangled him.
"Give up. Just shit."
"Kuuuuk!!!"
Joffrey's face contorted like a demon's.
Jung Yu-shin spoke with a serious face.
"No. Please do not shit. Are you not the scion of a noble Family with a long history? Joffrey-nim, please maintain your dignity."
As if hit on the head with a hammer, Joffrey's face went blank.
Watching him switch between informal and respectful speech.
His mind became dizzy and confused. Naturally, Joffrey's hands became erratic as well.
And then, an opening appeared.
Jung Yu-shin didn't miss that opening, lunging in and slamming a fist into Joffrey's stomach.
Bbeooooook!!!
A heavy impact surged through his light armor.
Ggureureureuk!!!
His stomach twisted, and the strength left his body.
"Keo-eo-eo-eok!!!"
Joffrey stumbled back.
Pibik! Pik!
Wet farts leaked from Joffrey's Buttocks.
"A foul smell. A foul personality. How will Joffrey's life be recorded? The shitter of the Underwood Family who soiled himself during a Duel. Pudeudeuk. Pudeuk."
Jung Yu-shin hummed as he swung his sword.
"Shut up!!!"
Joffrey roared.
"Yes. If you tell me to shut up, I must shut up."
Jung Yu-shin answered obediently and silently swung his sword.
Jung Yu-shin's sword strikes lashed out like a storm.
It was clearly a fight between a two-handed sword and a one-handed sword. Despite the difference in reach and power, Jung Yu-shin's swordsmanship overwhelmed Joffrey.
While swinging his sword.
Jung Yu-shin suddenly spoke.
"Joffrey, I gained a great realization during this Labyrinth exploration."
"I said shut up!!!"
"Okay."
Joffrey swung his sword with all his might.
He could feel his father's gaze from behind.
He couldn't lose like this.
At the very least, he mustn't soil his pants.
But this crazy Barbaroi wouldn't give him any distance, as if trying to seal off his magic.
After exchanging sword strikes for a long while.
As if his mouth were itching, the Barbaroi spoke again.
"Shitter, I realized it after dying once from a mental attack."
"..."
The Barbaroi continued, his eyes gleaming.
"This thing called a mental attack is truly terrifying. How should I explain that feeling of being crushed by an immense divinity and feeling like I'm going insane?"
"Fuck!!!"
Joffrey spat out a curse instead of an answer.
Now he knew.
He didn't know what happened in the Labyrinth, but that Barbaroi's madness was coming out through his mouth.
In short, he was conducting a mental attack with words.
Joffrey gave it his all, but as time passed, his disadvantage became increasingly clear.
At the same time, the eyes of the crowd sparkled.
The novice and Intermediate Explorers were captivated by Jung Yu-shin's brilliant swordsmanship and Technique.
The high-ranking Explorers were shocked by Jung Yu-shin's cunning and verbal torture.
This was especially true for the Clan leaders who had come out secretly from the Eastern District to watch.
Though they were too far away to hear what was being said, they inferred the content by reading the movement of his lips.
The face of Balthazar, the leader of the Pantheon Clan, hardened grimly.
'He has that level of cunning and even badmouths people like that?'
Just imagining it already made his head spin. After all, Ska was a man who had never lost a verbal argument since his days as a novice Explorer.
Balthazar was certain.
There were many fearless fools in the Eastern District.
But after seeing this fight, no one would dare mess with that man in the future.
"I yield!!!"
Joffrey shouted. He couldn't take it anymore.
Queen or no Queen, he couldn't just shit himself right here.
"Too late."
Jung Yu-shin lunged in and clenched his fist again.
[Sacred Weapon]
Half-Ogre Gauntlet.
A fist imbued with monstrous strength slammed into Joffrey's abdomen.
Bbeok!!!
"Keo-heo-eo-eok!!!"
Joffrey stumbled back before collapsing onto the ground.
And then.
Pibik. Pibibik!!!
The wet farts were only the beginning.
Pudeudeudeudeuk!!!
With a horrific sound, the area around Joffrey's pants began to turn brown and wet.
The crowd, which had been about to erupt in cheers, froze solid.
"D-Don't tell me, that Elf...?"
"Did he shit his pants?"
"Heo."
Up until now, there had been people injured or killed during Duels, but no one had ever shat their pants.
"S-Ska, that fellow, what kind of property did he imbue into his Sacred Weapon?"
Someone whispered softly.
An Intermediate Explorer who was watching stepped forward.
"Wasn't it the Half-Ogre Gauntlet? I thought it was a property that dramatically increased physical strength."
"That's too hasty a guess. Who knows? He might have imbued it with a property that forces the bowels to evacuate."
"Crazy. That's way too scary."
Jung Yu-shin paid no heed to the crowd's murmuring and held his sword to Joffrey's neck.
The Elf Queen Elasein rose from her seat.
"The Duel is over. The stronger... no, the more handsome person is Ska!"
"Waaaaaaa!!!!!"
The people erupted in cheers. The awkward atmosphere was swept away in an instant.
Whatever the case, Ska was an explorer of the Great Labyrinth.
Even if they fought and bickered, blood was thicker than water. He couldn't be compared to some Elf adventurer who had rolled in from outside the Labyrinth City.
Besides, the content of the Duel wasn't a sensitive matter involving the interests of the Labyrinth City, but rather deciding who was more handsome.
Jung Yu-shin raised his hand to acknowledge the crowd's cheers.
In the distance, he could see the 'Skas' chatting boisterously with joyful expressions.
'Just wait a little longer.'
Because I'm going to seduce the Elf Queen-nim properly and bring back the Staff of the World Tree.
Joffrey trembled violently while kneeling.
It was unfair.
'If only it hadn't been for the laxatives!'
Just as Joffrey raised his head and was about to speak.
The retired Family Head of Underwood rushed over and knelt before Elasein.
"Queen-nim!"
"Family Head?"
"How was the fight? Did you enjoy it?"
Elasein's eyes turned cold for a moment. To ask about her mood first when his son had just suffered such a great humiliation.
A terrifyingly cold-hearted person.
"It was impressive."
The Family Head's eyes gleamed.
"I-Is that so?"
"I will accept Joffrey into the guard."
"T-Thank you!"
"However, he must start from the very bottom. I cannot give him better treatment just because he is of the Underwood Family. If he shows even the slightest laziness or misconduct, he will be expelled immediately."
The Family Head bowed his head with a bright smile.
"Of course!"
However, Joffrey raised his voice, the veins in his neck bulging.
"That Barbaroi fellow put laxatives on his sword!!! Isn't that a cowardly act?!! Duel again...!"
Jung Yu-shin shrugged with a blunt expression.
"When did I?"
Jung Yu-shin played innocent. Joffrey, his face full of absurdity, stammered.
"N-No."
The Family Head intervened calmly.
"It seems my son ate a lot of seafood yesterday and got an upset stomach. Furthermore, it seems his mind has become unstable due to losing the Duel. Queen-nim, please forgive him."
"F-Father?"
"My son, there's no way the next Barbaroi chief would put something like laxatives on his sword in a fair fight, right? And let's say he did. There's a 10-level difference between you and the next chief. Did you really think the next chief would face you without any plan?"
The shocked Joffrey stammered.
"Uh... uh."
Why was his father not taking his side but instead supporting Ska's position?
He couldn't understand it at all.
However.
Jung Yu-shin chuckled as if he had roughly grasped the situation.
"Heh. Old man, your tongue is truly sharp. But did you really want to put your son in the guard that badly?"
The Family Head's face twitched, and he bowed deeply toward Elasein.
"Queen-nim, thank you for showing us your grace."
"Family Head, return to the kingdom. And Joffrey, after you've recovered, come find me at the Inner Castle."
"Understood."
The Family Head and Joffrey withdrew.
Joffrey waddled after his father, dripping diarrhea.
The Central Plaza, where the Duel had ended, was bustling as if a festival had broken out.
Elasein turned around.
"Ska, let's go back."
"Yes."
The two returned to the Inner Castle side by side.
Returning to her Bedroom, Elasein sat at the table.
"Ska, it was a fight you would have won even without using laxatives. I fear your honor will be tarnished."
Jung Yu-shin shrugged.
"If it's to ease Queen-nim's heart, I can throw my honor to the ground as many times as it takes."
Elasein smiled broadly.
"It's quite embarrassing to say this, but seeing that fellow soil himself was quite refreshing."
"Right?"
The two looked at each other and laughed for a moment.
"Still, in that moment, I realized my fate. I haven't changed. I've also accepted that I am still a woman with strong pride, who likes to stand above others, who is thorough in calculation, and who is unattractive. To begin with, I was not a wife who would live in obedience to a husband. I must end my life as a Queen."
A self-deprecating murmur escaped Elasein.
Jung Yu-shin's expression sank.
I see.
The sense of loneliness brought about by one's innate nature. This was Elasein's wound and her worry.
However.
This was an opportunity.
Jung Yu-shin shook his head.
"No. I do not think so."
"...?"
"People can change. I will help you."
"H-How?"
Jung Yu-shin slowly approached and whispered something into Elasein's ear.
A moment later.
Elasein's face froze coldly.
"Does that even make sense?! Ska, what do you take me for...!"
"I'm not really good at this kind of thing either. But let's give it a try."
Elasein closed her eyes and thought for a moment before opening them. Her eyes shone coldly, filled with a slight contempt.
"Understood. I will follow your words for now."
"Good."
"Wait outside for a moment."
Jung Yu-shin went outside the door and waited for a while.
The guards on duty looked curious, but they didn't speak to him.
About 30 minutes had passed.
Elasein's voice drifted out from inside the Bedroom.
"It's done. Come in."
Jung Yu-shin re-entered the Bedroom.
And the scene that was revealed.
Jung Yu-shin silently admired Elasein's appearance.
The noble Queen's appearance had completely changed.
Elasein had braided her hair into pigtails, creating a twin-tail look.
As if she hadn't forgotten his request, she wore a white lace bra and panties. Furthermore, she was even wearing black stockings and a garter belt.
Elasein approached with a cold expression and crouched down in front of Jung Yu-shin with her crotch wide open.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
After a brief silence.
Elasein, her face flushed red, opened her full lips.
"T-Today's Duel was hard work-pyong♥ I-I am Master's exclusive Female, E-Elasein-pyong♥ T-Tonight, I will serve you plenty with the body of a year-round-in-heat Elf-pyong♥"
Jung Yu-shin gently stroked Elasein's head.
Since he had lived a life of respecting and cherishing women until now, consensual dignity-destroying training was awkward.
'I'm not really good at this kind of thing.'
Still, he had to do his best.
He had to help Elasein easily let go of her ego as a Queen when she found someone she loved later.
"Good. Elasein, first, smell my Penis."
Late at night.
The quiet Bedroom.
Jung Yu-shin's voice echoed.
