TOAD – Chapter 38
That’s why I headed in the direction of the noise. I wasn’t prone to battle, and although I had studied under Fanreek for a time, that didn’t make me a swordsman. Normal swordsmen spent years perfecting their craft. I had only been in this world for a year. If it wasn’t for my rapid leveling and my ability to quickly learn skills, I wouldn’t be very impressive at all. Even though I had won a few fights, the one against a certain knight flashing in my mind before I suppressed those sad memories from my past, most of my battles had been won with luck. In the end, the only battle I was confident in was the one I did on my back, or my knees, if the mood struck me.
I came to a wooden door and pushed through, stepping out into the fort courtyard. Depending on how you approached the fort, this was the most heavily watched and most dangerous area to approach from, but it was also the only area that could support the movement of more than a dozen people. This was also the location the sound of the fighting was coming from.
I walked out into a courtyard full of blood and death. Dozens of goblin corpses laid mangled on the ground. There were a few humans too, but they were wearing full armor. These weren’t adventurers who often relied on mobility. These were soldiers!
Just as I tried to get a hold of the situation, there was a boom, causing a giant dome of dust to rise. A form came flying out of the dust cloud and across the courtyard, slamming into the ground. It took me a few moments to realize that the form was none other than my son. I let out a cry, racing over to him lying on the ground. He tried unsuccessfully to stand up before stumbling back down.
I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a Princess Kiss. I then began to use Sex Life on him. I wasn’t always able to use Sex Life. It depended a bit on my mental state, but when it came to my son, I could always see us together sexually, and thus I began to heal him. As the dust settled, several men in armor appeared walking toward us. Sex Life might be effective, but it took some time, and they weren’t giving it to me. The only thing faster was Cat’s Meow, and that only healed surface-level wounds. I shot the approaching mean a deathly glare.
When the men caught sight of me, they stopped. It wasn’t like they were shocked by my appearance or my beauty. Rather, they looked weary. One of the men lifted his hand and pointed directly at me.
“She’s the one,” he announced. “Be careful.”
“You’ve made a mistake coming here.” I declared in the most threatening tone I could manage. “Frenzy!”
Frenzy worked a lot like Pheromone, except that whereas Pheromone worked on only monsters and men, Frenzy would target everyone. Furthermore, Pheromone only attracted them to me, where Frenzy would lead them to attack whoever was closest. So, I released the Frenzy pheromone, which could drive people crazy with lust. I thought I’d enjoy seeing these men fuck each other and bang goblins before they died. Of course, it would affect my son as well, but he was the closest to me, and mommy would happily satisfy all of his sexual aggression. I didn’t mind at all.
The goblins who had been battling effectively before had suddenly gone wild. They didn’t just attack the knights, but they started to fight each other too. However, the soldier’s behavior didn’t change in the slightest. The men began to more easily slay the goblins. Although some of them became wilier, their goal of maintaining their lives had been forfeit, and any formation training we had taught them went out the window. My face turned white as I watched the slaughter become one-sided, even as my son struggled to grab at my chest through his wounds.
In truth, my son had high resistance to such effects, so even if Frenzy did enflame him, he didn’t lose complete control. However, these knights approaching weren’t bothered in the slightest. I could believe they were the third tier, especially whoever had put my son in his current state, but none of the soldiers were reacting to my scent.
“It seems like the intel was correct. She uses odor to control people.” One of the men looked around and the goblins going wild. “I suppose I should apologize for calling that magician a hack.”
His words once again shocked my core. I had always known that pheromones were based on scent, but I had never imagined that they could so easily be blocked. More than that, these people had come prepared, seemingly knowing more about me than they should have. I didn’t like that at all.
“I’d you think my only method of control is a scent, then you’ll have another thing coming!”
I wasn’t going to hold back anymore. They wanted to hurt my son and me? They could experience the true might of a Demon Queen. I began to attack their minds with various skills. I was much more powerful than back in the day when I could only cast a dozen spells before passing out. Along with Mana Breath, Perfection, and Limit Break, I could truly mess with a person’s mind.
I reset Beautification to human and unleashed my full charm. I hit them with Eye of the Beholder, so even if I wasn’t their type, they’d find me beautiful. I began to strike them with Seduction, one after another. One of the men let out a grunt, and their steps forward slowed for a bit, their faces becoming uncertain.
“You don’t want to hurt me. You love me.” I pulled on Influence, spinning a series of lies mixed Command and Submission. “Just put down your weapons, and we can all be together forever.”
His attacks were brutal and powerful, and the so-called captain was quickly overwhelmed. I small smile formed on my face as I used another Perfection and then kept empowering him with my mana. After a few rounds of combat, the captain finally couldn’t keep up anymore. He might have been able to bully King three on one, but with me empowering him, King could defeat them all! The captain fell to the ground, and King lifted his blade.
Then, an arrow struck his chest, and then another, and two more. They had used an archer to take out the first leader I had seduced, and now a group of archers was pelting my son with arrows. I let out a scream, forcing myself to my feet. Two more arrows struck King, but he was too proud to allow himself to fall.
“No!” I screamed. “No!”
King let out a roar, lifting his blade. I managed to jump in front of him, holding my hands up.
“Stop, please, stop!”
The archers kept their arrows drawn, but no one shot any more arrows. I
“I’m the one you want, right?” I asked. “If you kill my son, I will continue to resist. I may only kill one of you... maybe I’ll kill all of you... but I won’t stop fighting.”
As I spoke, the captain slowly got to his feet. He gave me a wry look, a wary and hesitant face. “What do you propose?”
“Don’t kill him, and I will go with you.” I declared, not helping to lace that with an aura of Command.
“Then, make your... child... stand down.”
I nodded, slowly turning around and facing King. He was breathing hard, clearly in pain, gasping for breath with a face twisted in pain. His body was pelted with arrows, looking more like a pincushion than a goblin. My lips trembled, and water burned my eyes.
“It’s okay... it’s okay baby...” I reached up and gently cupped his cheek.
“Mmmm-mmmm-mmmmom...” The words came out from his lips, the first time he had ever spoken, his eyes filled with worry and confusion.
“Yes...” I smiled, streams running down my cheeks. “Mommy just has to go away for a while, but everything will be okay. Mommy promises... okay?”
He looked into my eyes, and then he gave a short nod.
“Sleep.”
His eyes rolled up into his head, and he fell back. I tried to grab his arm so he fell on his back, and away from the arrows. As he collapsed to the ground, I couldn’t help but let out a sob. I could hear the captain approaching behind me, and then as the back of his blade connected to my head, I lost consciousness.
