Chapter 33: Sinking into Darkness

So far, Genkon's erotic attacks are not a problem...?

There's another attack coming this time, so I'm nervous (^∀^;)

Chapter 33: Sinking into Darkness

(Ugh...♡ Ugh...♡ As expected, he's targeting... Maria... the Saint...)

Genkon clearly stated that Maria was the target, Mima realized her intuition was correct.

An offering to God? A Saint as a sacrifice?

The words she heard alone weren't enough to fully grasp Genkon's objective.

However, Mima remembered the horrific abuse she had suffered in the past at the hands of Genkon and his group.

(Are they planning to inflict such unspeakable brutality upon Maria?

I won't let that happen!)

Within Mima's heart, a strong maternal resolve to absolutely protect Maria burned like a flame.

But contrary to that strong resolve, her body still couldn't move properly.

Mima's heart raged with a sense of duty and impatience.

(Now that Genkon is immobilized by Maria's magic, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity....!)

"Kanaho! Don't go any closer!"

Maria shouted, stopping Kanaho.

Kanaho, now free, must have been about to attack Genkon.

"Ojou-sama...!? Why! Now's our chance...!"

"If you get too close to the range of his Power, you'll be taken hostage!"

"...!"

Kanaho recoiled slightly, cautiously.

Maria's words were probably correct.

Mima inwardly agreed with Maria's cautious stance.

Genkon's evil strength was unfathomable.

If they approached carelessly, even though he was restrained by magic, an unexpected counterattack might erupt, and there was a risk that Kanaho might be taken hostage, putting them at a disadvantage.

"How cautious you are... This might be the perfect opportunity to put an end to this old man, you know?"

Indeed, Genkon's voice, as he laughed, had a confident tone.

"Your name is Kanaho, was it? What happened to your earlier bravery? This time, your weapon might strike me. Come on!"

"..."

Kanaho seemed to have restrained herself from erupting in anger at Genkon's provocation.

To Kanaho's dismay, Maria calmly began.

"Kanaho... Take Tomoe-chan and run away."

""Ojou-sama/Onee-sama!?""

Kanaho and Tomoe's voices overlapped at Maria's words.

"I can't do that! I can't leave Ojou-sama behind!"

Kanaho raised her voice in firm opposition.

"With my magic, I can hold him captive like this until Mima-nee-sama can stand up. But I can't guarantee it."

Maria continued, her eyes still fixed on Genkon.

"I know you want to help Sougi and Kanaya as well, but we must protect the bloodline of the Madozono family first.

Now, hurry!"

Mima, still lying on the ground, struggled to move, unable to help but be astonished and shocked by Maria's words.

(This child is not only destined to be a "Saint," but is already developing the qualities of a Family Head.)

"But—!"

"Please, Nee-san... Protect my most precious little sister."

As Kanaho continued to press on, Maria pleaded briefly.

"Yes... I... understand...!"

After squeezing out the words as if spitting blood from her throat, Kanaho snatched Tomoe from Maria.

"No! Kanaho! Let go! No! Onee-sama! Nooooooooooo!!!"

Held in Kanaho's arms, Tomoe reached out her hand towards Maria.

Her hand slashed through empty air, leaving only a heart-wrenching cry behind as she was carried away by Kanaho, rapidly disappearing from the hall.

"Hmph. You'll sacrifice yourself to let your cousin escape? How brave and selfless... But it's useless!

After offering you to the God, I'll immediately find that little girl and welcome her as the guest of honor at the Ceremony."

Genkon laughed, as if letting Tomoe escape was a trivial matter.

"I have no intention of sacrificing myself."

Maria raised her left hand above her head, separate from the right hand she was still extending towards Genkon.

"Huh!?"

Genkon's eyes widened.

A great light—a vortex of magical energy—emerged in Maria's left palm.

Moreover, its glow was golden.

Seeing this, the look of confidence vanished from Genkon's face.

"If you call me a 'Saint,' then surely you know what my magical attribute is, right?"

As Maria spoke, the vortex in her palm converged, becoming a sphere of light.

A basic attack spell, "Light Bullet."

However, the one Maria was about to unleash contained an enormous amount of condensed magical energy, and it was undoubtedly as powerful as a top-tier attack spell.

Furthermore, that magical energy was of the "Holy" attribute.

For Genkon, whose body was being transformed into a "Living Corpse," this was the most abhorrent magical energy.

If this body, which was practically that of a Kaima were to be bathed in the magic of the Holy attribute, he would inevitably be annihilated without leaving a trace of dust.

The golden light that Maria flashed was a deadly blow capable of destroying Kaima.

It was truly a fatal blow.

"Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

Genkon roared, tearing apart the magical chains binding his limbs.

He had indeed hidden some strength left to escape the binding magic.

But that was only for a moment, as another chain of light shot out, binding Genkon's hands and feet once again.

"Guh!? You... you bitch...!"

"I won't let you get away."

Maria's voice, sounding cold and ruthless, rang out at the panicking Genkon.

Mima, still lying on the floor, was astonished once more.

It was as if the tables had suddenly turned.

A six-year-old child was cornering an evil demon!

(Even if I can't stand, Maria might defeat Genkon.)

It was at that moment that Mima harbored such hopes.

"Aaahhhh ♡ Ahh ♡ Ughh ♡ Ahhhhhhh!!! ♡"

A sweet sensation, burning her brain, overwhelmed Mima's entire body.

"Mima-nee-sama!?"

"Nghh ♡♡♡ Aggghhh ♡♡ Aaaaaaa ♡♡"

When Maria turned around, she saw Mima thrashing about on the floor, drooling uncontrollably.

"Oho~, it seems she's in great pleasure..."

Despite the desperate situation Genkon had been in, a hint of composure had returned to his face.

Maria glared fiercely at Genkon's face.

"...! You...! Stop tormenting Mima-nee-sama!!!"

"Heh heh, little girl, why you think it is a torment? Do you think she's suffering?

Actually, that's not the case. Mima's simply experiencing the pleasure that all women should feel."

Genkon grinned, impressed by the immediate effect of holding Mima hostage against Maria.

"W-what are you...!"

"I don't lie. Look!"

Swush~

Having completely regained his composure, Genkon moved his right hand in a caressing motion.

"Ah ♡♡♡ Ahhh ♡♡♡ Ughhh ♡♡♡ Gaaahhh ♡♡♡ Ahhhh ♡♡♡"

As if pulled along by that, Mima's body jumped violently.

It didn't end with just that one jump; her body continued to twitch and bounce on the floor.

"Mima-nee-sama!!! Onee-sama!!!"

"Ooohhh ♡♡♡ Ahhh ♡♡♡ Kyaaaa ♡♡♡ Aaaaaa ♡♡♡"

Maria desperately called out to her, but all that escaped Mima's lips were animalistic cries of pleasure.

Mima was no longer conscious.

She was simply being swept away by the waves of sensations that were overwhelming her entire body.

"If you fire that Light Bullet, I will certainly die. But Mima will remain like this.

Her body and mind are gripped by such overwhelming pleasure. Well, if she can pass away in a dreamlike state, perhaps that would be happiness too?"

Convinced that he had regained control of the situation, Genkon wore a triumphant smile.

Watching Mima roll around on the floor, her whole body convulsing and her cries continuing, Maria's face clouded with anguish.

Eventually, the "Light Bullet" that had been emanating from the palm of her left hand began to lose its glow.

"Please... stop tormenting Mima-nee-sama.... please stop.... I beg you..."

As Maria lowered her left hand and bowed her head in pleading, the golden "Light Bullet" completely vanished, and the chains of light that had been restraining Genkon also disappeared one after another.

Genkon nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

"What a dutiful and virtuous daughter you are. Mima must be very proud."

Speaking sarcastically, Genkon moved his right hand with a large motion.

Thump!

"AHHHHHHHH ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡"

Suddenly, Mima's body jumped violently.

Then, she collapsed motionless onto the floor.

"Mima-nee-sama!!! Agh!?"

Maria tried to rush to Mima's side, but she was entangled by an unseen force, and her movements were restricted.

Maria's body floated into the air and she was pulled towards Genkon, who had his right hand outstretched.

Genkon gave Maria a nasty grin.

"You possess more magical power than I could have imagined... Losing Mami was painful, but she left behind the finest offering.

Above all, you have the beauty inherited from your mother."

Genkon pulled Maria's body even closer to him and grabbed her chin.

"No, you might become even more beautiful than your mother... Hehe, I'm looking forward to your body ripening."

His deep dark red eyes gleamed with wicked anticipation.

"...You...! I won't let it go the way you want...!"

With her chin still held, Maria declared resolutely.

Hearing this, Genkon laughed gleefully, "Kuhaha!"

"Your mother, your grandmother, your great-grandmother! They all said the same thing at first!

Heh heh... Good, good—it'll be fun to see you become so dependent on me that you can't live without me."

Genkon's hand released Maria's chin, and from somewhere, he produced a large black cloth, and then wrapped it around Maria's body.

"...!!! Mima—....Okaa-sama!!!"

At the same time, Maria uttered the those words.

Genkon picked up Maria, wrapped in black cloth, in his arms and descent to the floor.

Without even glancing at Mima, Sougi, and Kanaya, he calmly left the hall.

After a dark, mocking laughter echoed through the Madozono mansion, a silence filled with powerlessness, appeared, almost mercilessly....

AN:

Oh no~ Maria has fallen into the hands of the evil old man...! What will happen to her next?! (←feigning innocence)

Is this episode's erotic content just barely acceptable?! (←This is what's making me nervous!)
