Free Web NovelChapter 51: Rigel vs First Princess Natasha
After finishing his violation of Princess Nina, Rigel attempted to use her as a shield to crush Princess Natasha’s will to fight.
However, his plan would backfire spectacularly.
"—Wha!?"
Rigel let out a cry of shock. Natasha had thrust her Divine Spear forward with deadly precision — as if intending to pierce both the hostage and him together.
(Shit!!)
Rigel twisted his body in panic and barely managed to avoid a direct hit. It was a matter of a split second. If his reaction had been even slightly slower, the hostage Nina would have been killed, and Rigel himself would have suffered severe injury right behind her.
"H-hey! Are you seriously trying to kill me along with your own sister!?"
Rigel shouted while breaking out in a cold sweat. He no longer had the composure to maintain his polite tone. Natasha glared at him fiercely and declared:
"Shut up! If she’s going to be toyed with any further by a vulgar bastard like you, it would be better for me to kill Nina with my own hands!! Then I’ll follow her!! That is what I can do for my sister as her elder! Am I wrong!?"
Natasha was furious. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked like she might cry at any moment.
"S-Sister..."
Seeing her sister’s state, Nina also wore a sorrowful expression. Rigel, watching the two sisters, let out a long sigh.
"...It seems I was too naive. I didn’t expect you to go this far..."
He felt a slight sense of regret. He had no guilt about living a carefree life of rape using his cheat skill **[Rape]**. He had fucked Nina in front of his soldiers and again in front of her sister purely to enjoy new stimulation. He didn’t particularly hate Nina or Natasha — in fact, he even felt some affection toward them. That was precisely why driving them to the point of "killing her sister and then dying herself" was completely outside his calculations.
"Don’t be so pessimistic. I’ll make you my sex slave too, Natasha. I’ll lovingly take care of you sisters together."
Rigel grinned, but—
"...I told you to shut up."
Natasha readied her spear with a face full of rage. Her eyes burned with clear killing intent. It was easy to imagine that any suspicious movement would result in her stabbing him immediately.
(Good grief... Can’t be helped...)
At this point, there was no other choice. He would have to subdue her by force. Rigel steeled himself and took a light combat stance.
"I’ll make you regret this!"
Natasha shouted as she thrust her spear again. This strike was even faster than before. Rigel barely dodged it.
"Tch!"
Rigel clicked his tongue and retreated. Natasha immediately pressed the attack. She unleashed a flurry of sharp thrusts, and Rigel could do nothing but continue evading them.
(She’s fast...! And skilled...!!) ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
In terms of pure physical ability, Rigel with his **[Rape]** skill, or even the strongest beastkin warrior Le Kaine, would likely be superior. However, Natasha’s spear technique was refined enough to completely bridge that gap.
On top of that, there was the factor of her weapon. She was wielding the national treasure known as the Divine Spear. It was light yet extremely durable, and it had the ability to change its length according to the user’s magical power, making it incredibly easy to handle.
In contrast, Rigel was completely unarmed.
(Damn it! Why won’t it hit!?)
Natasha was growing impatient. She had attacked multiple times already, yet not a single strike had landed. While frustrated, she calmly analyzed the situation.
(Wasn’t this man supposed to be incompetent!? His movements are incredible!)
Indeed, Rigel’s movements were superhuman. This was thanks to the massive boost in physical ability and magical power granted by his cheat skill **[Rape]**. However, his actual technique wasn’t particularly impressive.
It was a battle between Rigel, who covered his lack of skill with raw physical power, and Natasha, who compensated for her inferior physical stats with superior technique. To an outside observer, the fight looked evenly matched.
However, that was only how it appeared.
"Hey, why don’t you just give up already? If this continues, you’re only going to tire yourself out."
Rigel spoke in an exasperated tone. In truth, he wasn’t tired at all. On the other hand, Natasha was already breathing heavily from her shoulders, clearly exhausted.
"Shut up! Be quiet!"
Natasha shouted as she swung her spear. Rigel tried to dodge by jumping, but—
"Now! Mortar team, fire!!"
At that moment, a voice rang out from atop the wall. Countless mortar shells were launched into the air all at once. They drew a parabola as they fell—
**DOOOOOOON!!**
A violent explosion erupted, sending thick smoke billowing upward.
"Tch! You even had something like this prepared!?"
Rigel emerged from the smoke, muttering with clear annoyance. The ground where he had been standing was gouged out deeply, forming a crater. Flames were also rising fiercely from the impact point.
"I didn’t want to use this weapon, but... it can’t be helped..."
The one who spoke was the Supreme Commander. He immediately gave the next order.
"Mortar barrage, prepare! 3, 2, 1—!"
The next instant, another volley of shells was fired.
**DOOOOOOON! DOGAAAAAAN!!**
Explosions erupted in rapid succession. The Goussel Marquis Army, with the exception of Rigel, suffered devastating damage from the direct hits.
"Gyaaaaah!?"
"Uwaaah!!"
"Commander Rigel—!! Save uuuuuus!!"
Screams rose from all directions. Rigel twisted his face in irritation.
"Tch! Looks like it’s time... You pathetic weaklings! We’re pulling back!!"
With those words, he quickly leaped away. Under the continuous rain of mortar shells, Rigel and the Goussel Marquis Army retreated from the front of the wall.
---
The day after Rigel and the Goussel Marquis Army retreated from the area near Tosh’s defensive wall—
"Gueeeeh! It stinks so baaaaad!!"
"Geho! Gehooo!!"
Rigel and Amand were writhing in agony. They were currently inside Tosh’s underground aqueduct.
After realizing that a frontal assault would be extremely difficult due to the city’s sturdy walls, the spear master Princess Natasha, and the mortars, Rigel gave up on a direct attack. He began considering an alternative route. Relying on the information he had obtained from the dog-eared girl he captured earlier, he decided to attempt infiltrating the city through the secret passage.
