The turmoil had subsided.

The ocean had completely vaporized, and the land was turned upside down.

The Light Blade collapsed onto the Barrier of Light.

“Haa… haa…”

Heaving breaths escaped him. The sword in the Light Blade’s hand had vanished. His steel blade now pierced the heart of Phoenix, who lay sprawled atop the barrier.

“…Good call on aiming for mutual destruction.”

Countless battles had been fought, countless deaths endured. Even after learning the truth from Phoenix, he continued to oppose her.

In the end, it was Phoenix who gave up first. She had begged to be killed, even attempted to collapse the barrier by unleashing her true form.

As a final move, she used her ultimate technique, intending to shatter the world. While the world inside the barrier was destroyed, the barrier itself remained intact. Only the world within had been obliterated.

Ultimately, the monster fell to the human. Phoenix submitted willingly to the unyielding will of the Light Blade.

The Light Blade tossed his tie aside and sat beside Phoenix, who wore an expression of mixed satisfaction and regret.

“…Any last words?”

“Shouldn’t I be the one hearing your last words…?”

“Then pull that out and let’s fight again.”

Phoenix too knew better. No matter how many times her heart or core was pierced by a sword, the fragmentary power of Rusalka couldn’t kill her.

Suicide. The only way for Phoenix to escape this world was to transfer her powers to the Light Blade and vanish.

“Are you not worried about your daughter? We don’t know what’s happening outside.”

“…I am concerned, but what can be done? Harang is an adult now. It’s time for her to stand on her own.”

“You dying is what keeps Seok Harang from going berserk and surviving, right?”

“Then I’ll die when the time comes. I’ll take care of Harang until she gets married. And…”

The Light Blade smirked as he withdrew the steel blade from Phoenix’s body. Her chest’s wound ignited with flames before quickly healing. He sheathed the blade.

“What if Yoon Yuhwa is doing something unsavory to Seok Harang while feeding her medicine?”

“If Miss Yu-Sung harms Harang, I’ll repay her in kind.”

“What if it involves killing?”

“I’ll kill her if necessary.”

“…Sigh.”

The Light Blade smirked as he extended his hand toward Phoenix, who tilted her head in confusion.

“What’s the meaning of this?”

“Thinking about it, I shouldn’t kill you.”

“…Huh?”

Confusion clouded Phoenix’s eyes. The Light Blade cheerfully ruffled her hair.

“Help me save the world and protect my daughter. Isn’t Harang your niece?”

“But I’m the villain here!”

“South Korea has a Villain Rehabilitation Program—not some trashy organization like the Pine Tree Brigade, but a real program aimed at reforming villains.”

The Light Blade grasped Phoenix’s hand.

“I’ll personally guide you one-on-one. I’ll always supervise you, erect barriers, and lead you down the path of the hero.”

“…Ah…”

Phoenix’s eyes began to waver. The Light Blade pulled her to her feet, patting her back.

“Yeah, it’s hard to believe, isn’t it? But trust me. Trust the Hero, trust the husband of Rusalka.”

The golden barrier in the sky disappeared. Phoenix gazed blankly at the scattering golden particles, lost in thought.

“Are you crazy? What if I run away?”

“To build trust, this much is necessary. And…”

The Light Blade helped Phoenix to her feet, brushing the dirt off her shoulders before leaning in to meet her gaze.

“Aren’t you family now, as my sister-in-law?”

“…Tch, aren’t I higher ranked than that?”

Phoenix rolled her eyes. The Light Blade chuckled sheepishly.

“Rusalka’s diary says you’re the youngest, doesn’t it?”

“That’s because I was the last to be brainwashed among the officers. I’m the strongest. You don’t even know anything.”

“…Is that so? Haha.”

Phoenix pouted. The Light Blade patted her shoulder and straightened up.

As the barrier dissolved, people began to murmur. Waves surged into the massive crater that had suddenly appeared.

“…Uh-oh.”

Just as both figures were about to fall from mid-air, Phoenix flicked her finger. A Blue Flame barrier emerged, blocking their view.

The Light Blade’s guard momentarily rose, but he soon detached his hand from his sword in resignation.

“…My oversight.”

“…Puahahaha!”

Phoenix clutched her stomach, laughing uncontrollably. The Light Blade casually tossed his sword to her.

“Kill me.”

“Of course, of course. Puahaha! But…”

Smiling, Phoenix approached the Light Blade, raising both hands. The Light Blade closed his eyes as her hands neared his neck.

To his surprise, Phoenix was merely adjusting his tie. She continued to smile.

“How do you plan to just die after igniting such feelings in someone’s heart?”

“…What?”

Phoenix retied her disheveled tie, her delicate movements causing the Light Blade to hold his breath.

“I don’t know why Rusalka fell for you, but you’re definitely someone worth falling for. Tch. So annoying.”

“That’s a compliment. But you—”

“Shh. If we go out like this, we’ll just be the butt of jokes. How would it look for the hero who defeated the evil organization’s officer to act like this?”

“…No, that’s not—”

The Light Blade turned his head, clearing his throat. As Phoenix leaned in to tie his tie, her chest brushed against his upper abdomen.

Snap. As Phoenix tightened the knot, she firmly gripped its ends.

The Light Blade’s collar dramatically popped open. Phoenix’s mouth naturally parted.

“My goodness? You’re this easy? To the point of getting aroused by your sister-in-law?”

“…Yes.”

“Huh?”

In a barely audible voice, the Light Blade managed to reply.

“After Rusalka died…I haven’t done it once.”

Thud. Phoenix’s heart sank. She quickly glanced around, licking her lips.

“…Puahaha, hehe. This barrier lets us leave, but no one from outside can enter. No one knows what happens inside here.”

Phoenix pressed her body against the Light Blade. His lower region grew more prominent. His eyes wavered.

“This, this is a physiological reaction—”

“Oh, magic exhaustion.”

Phoenix moved closer…


Lying on the floor, her shirt was torn from battle and her suit pants had shortened to near hotpants length, exposing her white legs.

Light Blade swallowed hard.

“Nobody’ll know out here~”

“…Even so, this place is a bit…”

It was the spot where Rusalka’s grave had been. What else could this be but adultery with a sister-in-law?

“Isn’t it only natural for the victor to take the vanquished? Or do you have M tastes like when Rusalka dominated you? Ah, dying from magic power depletion—”

“…Anyway, let’s talk about it.”

Light Blade unfastened his belt.

“In more ways than one, you need guidance.”

“Hmph.”

Phoenix’s pupils, which had been burning with flames, changed into hearts.

Light Blade’s hand began unbuttoning Phoenix’s shirt from the top. Her naked body was revealed, and even lying down, her breast retained a perfect round shape.

Light Blade roughly grabbed Phoenix’s breast. Her nipple, pinched between his middle and ring finger, stood erect.

“Unn…”

With every touch of Light Blade’s hand, Phoenix let out moans. Feeling a completely different presence than Rusalka, Light Blade felt a strange sensation.

“Unn. This is a whole different level from Rusalka, isn’t it?”

“…”

When caressing Rusalka, he focused more on her entire body than her small breasts, as she considered them a complex.

“Yeah, go ahead!”

“Shut up.”

But he wasn’t unfamiliar with how to caress breasts. Light Blade gathered her breast like a water bottle and bit the nipple.

“Kyaa!”

Slurp. His tongue flicked the nipple, then he opened his mouth wide, leaving bite marks on her breast. While enjoying even the pain, Phoenix lowered her hand.

Creak. Three fingers brushed against her privates. Simultaneously, her other hand stroked Light Blade’s swollen front.

“Shall we move straight to the main game?”

“…Suddenly?”

“But your body’s already being honest, isn’t it?”

Light Blade lifted Phoenix’s waist from behind with his other hand. As he moved his hand to lower her panties, Phoenix stopped him.

“Keep going. The panties…”

Phoenix snapped her fingers, and fire enveloped her lower half. The panties covering her privates turned to ash, revealing her secret area.

“Ugh…”

“Hmph. Were you wanting me to remove them myself?”

Light Blade suppressed his disappointment while lowering his pants. The massive barrel that Rusalka barely managed to accommodate revealed itself after 20 years.

“Wow…”

Phoenix gasped in amazement. Then she voiced her true thoughts.

“Did Rusalka fall for this size?”

“It’s not just big. But…why such a rush?”

Phoenix raised her hips. Thanks to Light Blade kneeling, their groins touched.

“Are officers always this lewd?”

“Not really. It’s a rare first experience…”

Light Blade’s pillar grew even more. Phoenix smiled mischievously and pointed outside the barrier.

“…Right now, your daughter is vigorously knocking on the barrier outside?”

“What?”

Light Blade’s heart sank upon realizing he hadn’t noticed. The blue barrier surrounding them was shaking violently.

Startled, Light Blade tried to pull away, but Phoenix lifted her leg and pulled him closer.

“With the state of the barrier, we have about 15 minutes left. Surely you don’t plan to greet the entire populace in such an inflated state?”

Phoenix tapped her smartwatch. The monitor displayed the time, and the numbers rapidly decreased from 14:00.

“…Of course not.”

“Hmph. Then I should help you~”

Light Blade slightly pulled back his waist. The tip of his pillar touched Phoenix’s lower lip and entrance. Unlike Rusalka’s tight opening, Phoenix accommodated Light Blade’s member relatively smoothly.

“Ahh…”

Phoenix’s head tilted back. The unfamiliar sensation of accepting something for the first time filled her entire body.

It was a happy feeling she’d never experienced before. Even the painful sensation of filling up brought joy despite only accommodating the front part.

“This is what they call ‘breaking in’!”

“Shut your mouth…!”

Instinctively tightening her lower abdomen, Phoenix squeezed Light Blade’s member like a suction cup, causing him to wince.

“Grrr!”

Unable to hold back his ejaculation, Light Blade released his load. The semen filled with magic power surged wave-like into Phoenix’s depths.

“Uuuung, haa.”

Phoenix moaned again at the rising magic power within her. Her tear-filled eyes locked onto Light Blade’s as she intertwined her fingers with his.

“Premature ejaculation.”

Crunch. Light Blade gritted his teeth and slightly pulled back his waist. Phoenix teased him by tickling his lower back with her toes.

“Rusalka must be disappointed~ with something like-”

“Suck!”

Light Blade thrust forward without warning. In one motion, he entered all the way to the root.

” ”

Unable to speak, Phoenix tilted her head back. Her nails dug into Light Blade’s palm, drawing blood.

Squelch. The semen already spilled inside flowed out, resembling the blood from a broken hymen.

Light Blade leaned in close.

“You said it was your first time, right? Liar?”

“Hnn, no, it’s not. Haa…”

Phoenix barely managed to respond. Light Blade’s tip pressed against the forbidden door at the end of her passage. Regaining her senses slightly, she argued.

“We don’t have hymens, I’ve checked!”

“…Ah, is that so?”

Light Blade forced a smile. Just as Phoenix opened her mouth to argue further, he pulled back and thrust forcefully.

“Ahhh!”

“Every time you talk, I’ll give you another thrust.”

Focused on the sensations from his member, Light Blade noticed he’d gone slightly deeper than before. Phoenix’s insides seemed to welcome his entry, having relaxed somewhat.

“Pfft, pfft, pfft. Though I haven’t done this in 20 years, my ten months with Rusalka were worth several times more than others. There were days we didn’t sleep for 24 hours straight making love.”

The form may have declined, but class is eternal. Light Blade’s body was slowly awakening memories from his youth.

“Don’t sass me. Rusalka herself acknowledged my skills.”

“What? Kyaah! S-Rank, hyaaang! Let’s have a chat!”

“Didn’t I clearly say I’d thrust every time you talk?”

Light Blade’s pillar battered the gate like a battering ram. Though Phoenix’s defenses remained firmly closed, the very tip trembled ever so slightly.

“Is that so? Uhn. What can I do if my best skill is…

Phoenix fondled her own breast with one hand while licking her lips with the other, smiling.

“Talking? Pfft.”

“Then there’s nothing I can do.”

Light Blade pressed his upper body close, grabbing her lower back with one hand and wrapping the other around her neck.

“About 12 minutes left? I’ll make sure you can’t talk before then.”

Light Blade’s body moved like lightning.

“Wait, kyaak! Damn it! Stop! Aah?!”

His pillars hammered her gates beyond human speed, causing Phoenix to arch her back and roll her eyes.

“Kyaah! St-st-stop! Go slower!”

But she couldn’t escape Light Blade’s rough strength. Eventually, Phoenix embraced Light Blade tightly, surrendering her entire body.

“Aaah, ah, sorry…”


“Okay! I won’t talk! So please, slow down!”

The Light Blade’s cudgeling slightly slowed. Of course, that speed was still much faster than average, but to Phoenix, it felt as leisurely as a stroll in the park.

“Rusalka always used to call me a rabbit.”

“…Huh?”

“Not premature ejaculation, but rabbit-fast.”

“……Wait! Time out!”

Phoenix tapped the Light Blade’s back just like in wrestling.

It was a fatal mistake. The Light Blade got incredibly excited at the thought of a much stronger being surrendering.

As the Light Blade smirked, Phoenix let out a sigh of relief.

“Rusalka has never once admitted defeat.”

The Light Blade grabbed Phoenix by the back of the head and spun her around. They were so close their breaths touched. The Light Blade grinned and stroked the back of Phoenix’s head.

“I’ve heard Chang-yeom has the most Magic Power among the seven. …Let’s see how full you can get her.”

“Kyaaah, wait! Uncle, Hiyaang!”

Crunch! The Light Blade’s battering ram finally broke the gate. Phoenix buried her face into the Light Blade’s neck while the latter pinned her down with his weight and rocked his hips.

“Stop, haaak! Stop it! I-I’ll… I’ll behave! I give up, please!”

The Light Blade felt bad. That whisper of surrender right next to his ear only made him more excited.

Rusalka’s diary came to mind.

It was filled with curses about the other sisters, but Chang-yeom alone had been cursed way more than the others.

“Rusalka said I should teach you a lesson one day.”

“This, ah-hum! Even without this! Please spare me! Master, I might die, ah, ah, aaah!”

So this is fulfilling Rusalka’s wish. Without changing position, the Light Blade kept moving his hips.

His member went in and out of Phoenix countless times, more than they had ever practiced in hundreds or thousands of battles.

Phoenix found these ten minutes far harder and more painful than the battle that lasted over half a day. From her toes to the crown of her head, the sensation was overwhelming and joyful enough to drive her insane.

“Aaaah! Lu, Rusalka! She’s enjoying this all on her own! Hnnnng!”

Beep beep! Beep beep!

The smartwatch alarm suddenly blared.

With only one minute left until the Barrier collapsed, relief flickered in Phoenix’s eyes, now drooling uncontrollably.

“It’s too early to relax.”

The Light Blade thrust hard. With only one minute left, he became even more urgent, adjusting his stance and giving it his Full Strength.

“Will you continue doing evil deeds?!”

“No, I won’t! I’ll be good, ha-ung! I’ll live a good life! So please stop! There’s not much time left!”

“Will you help me work for world peace?!”

“Yes! I will! Aaaah!”

“Say you’ll become a Hero!”

“I’ll become a Hero! For world peace, haak, a Hero!”

The Light Blade smiled and kissed Phoenix on the forehead. For a moment, Phoenix gazed blankly at the Light Blade and smiled.

“Congratulations on your rebirth.”

“…Huh? Whaaaat?! Kyaahhh!!”

Swish swish! Phoenix screamed in shock. Pillars cracked as a tsunami surged through the cave. As waves flooded the cave, Phoenix screamed as if the world were tearing apart,

“Hyaahh….”

And passed out with a dopey grin. The Light Blade gently placed Phoenix on the ground and checked her wrist.

12 seconds.

Even when the Light Blade slapped Phoenix’s cheek, she remained blissfully unconscious.

11 seconds. The Barrier trembled. Annoyingly, it was his Daughter Seok Harang pounding hardest on the Barrier.

10 seconds. The Light Blade closed his eyes tightly and withdrew his sword from Phoenix, his scabbard.

Helicopter blades battered his eardrums.

“The Barrier’s collapsing!”

As the Barrier crumbled, the waiting Heroes rushed in.

“…..Ah!”

A reporter broadcasting from the helicopter gasped.

“Citizens, do you see this! Lord Light Blade!”

Naked from the waist up, the Light Blade stood tall. His shirt covered the naked young girl.

“Lord Light Blade lives! He has triumphed against the Villain!”

The Heroes cheered. Seok Harang covered her face with both hands. What flowed between her fingers was definitely not tears.

The Light Blade raised his iron sword high.

Waaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!

The Heroes roared. The Light Blade planted his iron sword in the ground and lifted the girl, shielding her nudity.

The reporter shouted, imbuing his voice with Magic Power.

“Lord Light Blade! Please explain! What happened?!!”

The reporter’s voice, echoing across Busan’s seas, voiced the entire nation’s curiosity. The Light Blade glanced briefly at the girl before calmly speaking, infusing his voice with Magic Power.

“I defeated the Villain.”

Waaaaahhhhhhhhh!!! Light Blade! Light Blade! Light Blade!

The Heroes cheered loudly enough to shake Korea. The Light Blade disappeared like light, carrying the girl.

* * *

That day, historians would later say:

Because the Light Blade won that battle, the World gained peace.

* * *

Six years later.

We defeated Seongju.

I became one with the Light Blade and took down the officers. Though some officers died in the process and couldn’t awaken as Spirits.

Though we failed to summon and directly defeat the Otherworldly Spirit, everyone gave their all and barely managed to take down Seongju. The World regained peace, and Korea became a Hero superpower again.

And now, I’m ready for another battle.

“If it’s too much, just say so. I’ll be here for you.”

“…No. It’s my responsibility.”

My hands are trembling. My anxiety is obvious. The Light Blade grabs my hand.

“It’ll be fine. They’ll understand.”

“Understand??? Are you kidding me? That’s ridiculous nonsense!”

Seok Harang stormed in, panting heavily as she sat down. A blond-haired, blue-eyed Young Man rushed in to mediate but looked utterly lost as he sat beside her.

“Sorry! Harang! Calm down!”

“You shut up! Do I look calm right now?! Huh?!”

“Yeah. You’d better quiet down. After messing with six women and now going after my daughter, it’s disgusting.”

“What?! Messing around?! Who are you calling ‘dad’ and ordering around?! What gives you the right to tell my man what to do?!”

The Light Blade and the Young Man shrink back, and I press my lips together. Words fail me. Seok Harang slammed the table and spoke.

Seok Harang’s fierce gaze locks onto mine.

“So? What do you want to say? It’s not what I think, right?! Huh?!?! Try it and see! I’ll kill you!”

“Harang, actually—”

“I’ll say it.”

I stopped the Light Blade and met Seok Harang’s eyes. We share the same Spirit, but hers is fully awakened Water Element.

…From a compatibility standpoint, I’m at a huge disadvantage. But I don’t plan to lose.

I took a deep breath and shouted at Seok Harang.

“Niece! Give me your father!”

“What?! Let’s go then, you bastard!”

I won.

* * *

The Otherworldly Spirit opened its eyes.

Its servant who called upon it was nowhere to be found.

The last trace of its disappearance could be felt from a distant alien planet.

Earth.

The Otherworldly Spirit quietly closed its eyes.
