Flesh Golem of the Labyrinth City

Chapter 15: Results

TN: Just so I don't get blamed later, the first scene is sexual nsfw. You can skip to the first '* * * * *' to avoid it.

Early morning.

With a drowsy face and eyes not yet fully open, Sarah got up from bed in her pajamas, washed her face first, and then got dressed.

"Nnngh..!"

Being the earliest to rise when sunlight starts entering the inn, she begins her morning by taking the sunstone lamps that were hung in the second-floor corridor and hanging them where sunlight hits the inn's outer walls well. The sunstones need to receive plenty of sunlight during the day.

For the few guests having breakfast, she pushed a pot of soup close to the hearth-like fireplace and piled kindling like hay and dry leaves on top of partially burned firewood, then struck flint against iron to light the fire.

"I wonder if Yoo Eon is still sleeping...?"

Sarah knew that he usually ate breakfast before going about his day. While two meals a day was normal in medieval times, many people in labyrinth city ate three meals.

Yoo Eon had been out until quite late last night. It was just past 8 AM now, so she thought he probably wouldn't be awake yet.

'I should tell him to go back to sleep after breakfast.'

As she went back up to the second-floor corridor and opened the door to the end room that Yoo Eon always used,

"Eek..!?"

She saw Yoo Eon sprawled comfortably on the bed, wearing only underwear.

"Oh-oh my my my..! Sorry, Yoo Eon..!"

Sarah raised her hands to cover her eyes slightly, then slowly peeked through her fingers at Yoo Eon.

"H-he is sleeping, right...?"

Thighs and calves filled with firm muscles, unlike her own.

Deep, clear abs and sharply defined sides are briefly visible as he lies slightly askew. Broad but shallow and densely divided pectorals and thick forearms with veins protruding like spider webs.

Despite being in the same bed as her own, it looked narrow due to his broad shoulders.

And most concerning of all.

'Th-that's a penis...!'

Inside the wide, loose trunk underwear, the male organ looked like a prisoner trying to tear through and escape its confines.

Though Yoo Eon was sleeping deeply like the dead, Sarah couldn't understand why his dick was in such an excited state while its owner slept.

'Wouldn't that be uncomfortable like that...?'

To her, it looked quite painful. His dick seemed to be suffering from ill-fitting underwear.

The reproductive organs, regardless of gender, were supposedly the most precious parts to protect. Understanding this well, Sarah moved to rescue Yoo Eon's dick from its uncomfortable prison of small underwear.

'I-it looks painful... I'm just going to free it...'

One of the hardest things to find in medieval times was elastic material, so the waistband of Yoo Eon's trunk underwear was tied with string rather than elastic.

Though it seemed to be a knot that could be easily pulled loose, it was tied by Yoo Eon, who possessed tremendous strength.

'W-why won't this untie...?'

Sarah, thinking it was a knot that could be pulled loose at a glance, carefully extended her white, thin fingers to pull at Yoo Eon's underwear knot, but.

'Hng..!'

Though it was actually just about 5 seconds, to Sarah, it felt like an eternity of endurance. If Yoo Eon were to wake up right now, how ridiculous she would look in his eyes.

No, ridiculous wouldn't begin to cover it. Wasn't she trying to remove the tightly knotted underwear deliberately to peek at a sleeping stranger's penis?

She would undoubtedly become known as the number one pervert in the labyrinth city.

*Slip-*

'Ah! It's loose!'

Just as her shrunken heart was beating heavily, the knot came undone, and she thought Yoo Eon's excited organ would taste the outside air, but.

'It's so tight..!'

Because the underwear gradually narrowed toward the waist, undoing the knot didn't immediately allow the organ inside to raise its head like a snake.

But something else was released instead.

'Th-this is...'

The air that had been trapped inside the underwear with relatively no airflow due to one side being blocked began to freely escape thanks to the undone knot.

"H-hup.."

After smelling the indescribably mysterious scent, she brought her carrot-red nose close to Yoo Eon's cock.

'I-I'm cr-cr-crazy..!'

She came to her senses and stopped.

But Sarah felt relieved at this point.

'Hmm... this should be less uncomfortable now...?'

Originally, her reason for undoing the sleeping Yoo Eon's underwear knot wasn't to peek at his dick but to relieve the discomfort.

But this was obviously just a lie to protect herself.

In reality, she just wanted to look at Yoo Eon's cock.

'G-get a grip! Going further than this...'

Having undone that tight knot, would she throw away all her efforts and give up here?

Or would she persist in pulling down the underwear to see his dick?

It wasn't even just a matter of pulling down the underwear. His dick was standing straight up as if unaware of how high the sky was.

It would require the high-difficulty task of pressing down his cock against his stomach with her fingers while simultaneously pulling down the underwear.

The biggest problem was, regardless of difficulty level, the fact that Sarah's own fingers would have to touch Yoo Eon's cock...

'Ngh...!'

Deep in contemplation, Sarah made her decision and brought her left index finger to touch Yoo Eon's cock when she realized.

'Ah...'

Among Yoo Eon's masculine body parts, this was his most masculine performance. With her thin forearms and fingers, she couldn't possibly pull down Yoo Eon's manhood, which stood proudly toward the sky.

From thickness alone, Yoo Eon's cock was thicker than Sarah's forearm. To Sarah, who had been proud of the lean muscles she'd developed helping at the inn, thinking she might be strong, it showed the difference in strength in a very masculine way. (TN: Excuse me, what?)

To pull his manhood down toward his abs, it looked like she would need to use at least a whole hand, her entire left hand.

She would need to wrap her soft palm around the tip of his cock, and gently grip the rest with her thin fingers; only then could she attempt to pull off the maneuver.

Just a fingertip might be one thing, but to wrap her palm around a man's fully swollen glans... that would be like...

'M-masturbation by proxy..!'

No matter how curious she was, Sarah had no intention of arm wrestling with his manhood.

'He looks handsome even while sleeping...'

After staring at his sleeping face for quite a while, she came down to the kitchen. For a long time, Sarah sat blankly staring at the flames while holding her bright red cheeks.

"Whew, slept well."

After practicing the skill all night long, I fell asleep around when the sky started turning reddish.

I wanted to wash up since I sweated a lot, moving around during the night, but since it was dawn and the bath wasn't heated, I just went to sleep.

"Did I undo the knot while sleeping?"

After fixing my sagging underwear and getting dressed, I went down to the first floor.

"Sarah. Good morning."

"U-uh.. i-it's 1... in the afternoon..."

"Ah, looks like I woke up too late."

"No... it's fine...."

The results of practicing the skill all night were amazing. As Lavi predicted, I succeeded in using the skill I wanted, and thanks to that, I managed to replace an entire forearm or leg with dire wolf muscles.

And the most surprising point was this.

'A third field of vision?'

The vision through the alpha dire wolf's eyeball. Like a thermal camera, it showed people appearing to glow brightly, which I couldn't make sense of.

But I finally figured out that this was a mana-sensing eye that could see mana. Of course, if I look through it too long, my head hurts, and I have to switch back to the regular wolf's eye.

Seems trying to use an ability I didn't originally have puts strain on my brain.

And, after careful consideration about whether to try it due to concerns about side effects, I finally succeeded.

*Thump -Thump -Thump*

The dire wolf's heart boasts incredible pumping power even at rest. And the dire wolf's lungs absorb much more oxygen. Both are from the alpha specimen, possessing extraordinary performance.

Of course, I can't use them constantly during normal times. If I oversupply oxygen with the alpha's lungs and heart while doing nothing and staying still, my head gets dizzy, like when blowing into a tube with your mouth.

So I decided to only use them during combat when using a lot of dire wolf muscles, before the body becomes oxygen-deficient.

This is an incredible achievement. Let me summarize the effects of my skill:

1. I can recreate the body parts of animals I've eaten. Doesn't seem to work with plants at all.

2. Cooked parts can be recreated but not used. Chewed and swallowed is fine, but cooked seems impossible.

3. I can control this at will. The injured parts changing to dire wolf muscles was due to the instinctive will to restore the body to its original state.

4. Organs can also be changed, and the size seems to adjust to fit the body.

5. Drinking blood lets me gain that specimen's mana. There might be exceptions where blood is absent, or mana doesn't flow in the blood.

Seems like not a bad skill at this point. The best thing about knowing the skill's ability is that I don't necessarily need to get injured anymore.

Before, I thought injured parts were just replaced with monster organs, but now I know that's not the case.

"With this... I can make a fucking ton of money."

My body's itching to go to the labyrinth soon. When I meet monsters with powerful physical strength, I can eat their muscles.

For monsters with strong mana, I can drink their blood.

"Even cobalt isn't just a far-fetched dream."

I can even reach cobalt rank, which is called the chin-up level for high-rank explorers.

"Whew, shall I head to the labyrinth?"

All that's left is to get stronger quickly.
