“If you promise to spread your legs only for me and not for other men from now on, I’ll consider it.”

“……”

Even as her body was tossed about, overwhelmed by pleasure that threatened to drive her insane, Evelyn did not agree. No, she could not. Even in this situation, her mind was filled with ‘Must protect the harem ending at all costs!’

The smile that had been precariously formed at the corner of Hezel’s lips scattered when he saw Evelyn, who, despite having tears welling in her eyes from his p*nis pressing firmly against her inner walls, refused to agree.

As if all his gentleness until now had been a lie, he flipped her body over and spread her trembling b*ttocks with brutal force. Then he thrust his p*nis right in.

“Ahngh…!”

Evelyn threw her head back as his c*ck thrust deep inside her in an instant. A chilling sensation, as if her entire cervix was being pierced by his curved organ, shot up her tailbone. Hezel bit the nape of Evelyn’s neck as she trembled uncontrollably, unable to even raise her body, and thrust his hips upward.

Squelch- squelch- thwack! At some point, as he gripped Evelyn’s b*ttocks tightly and continued his rough thrusting, he cl*maxed. Evelyn gasped for breath as his s*men spilled out, scraping against her entire inner wall.

“A thought suddenly occurred to me, Princess.”

“Ahh. Hnnngh…!”

“If I can’t have you completely, wouldn’t it be better to just break you?”

Evelyn’s body stiffened at the chilling voice penetrating her ear. Hezel, who had been quietly looking down at Evelyn as she lay face down on the bed barely catching her breath, returned to his normal self and smiled with the corners of his eyes.

“It’s a joke, so stop clenching. I almost came again.”

“Is it really a joke, ahhnng!”

He spread her b*ttocks again as she tried to look back at him and slowly thrust his hips upward once more. That night, lewd moans echoed throughout the Saintess’s residence without ceasing.

***

It was already the third day since the Purification Ceremony began. Evelyn looked out the carriage window, clutching her waist that ached as if it would break. The black land filled with dried-up trees, like burnt ashes without a trace of life, was getting closer.

Since land completely contaminated by demonic energy couldn’t be read by coordinates, making magical transportation impossible, the magic circle created by the Tower’s mages was only effective up to the village near the border. That’s why she had to spend the last three days almost entirely in the carriage.

‘I feel like throwing up.’

As Evelyn was barely soothing her nauseous stomach, suddenly experiencing motion sickness out of nowhere, Maria, who had been dozing off across from her, suddenly opened her eyes. Startled awake by what appeared to be a nightmare in that brief moment, Maria looked around before letting out a sigh of relief.

“I’ve been having unsettling dreams lately.”

“Why? What kind of dreams?”

“Dreams where giant magical beasts fight over who gets to have the Saintess exclusively.”

…It’s both understandable and puzzling why the male leads’ faces come to mind immediately upon hearing those words. After traveling for a long time through the demonic energy-contaminated land, the carriage finally stopped in front of what was little more than the ruins of a village.

“We’ve arrived at the first base for the Purification Ceremony, Saintess.”

Evelyn’s face brightened slightly at the sound of Nox’s voice from outside the carriage door. Finally, this wretched carriage life is over!

The small consolation was that once they left this village, they could use the second large magic circle prepared by the Tower’s sages to move at once to the mountain range, which was the midpoint base. Evelyn, who got out of the carriage with Nox’s escort, massaged her stiff neck and looked around.

It was a village devoid of color, as if someone had deliberately spilled black paint everywhere. In fact, it was questionable whether it could even be called a village. The silent village, without a trace of human presence, was completely dead and black—the trees, all the buildings, even the ground.

“Do people really live in a place like this?”

“Since the Empire couldn’t accommodate all refugees, I heard that those who were pushed down the priority list had no choice but to gather in the land of magical beasts and endure. Ah, here comes their representative now.”

The representative of the refugees.

Evelyn turned her head in the direction of Nox’s gaze. She saw a man who was in contact with Luinel, who had been leading the Purification Ceremony procession from the front. The middle-aged man, whose skin was partly rotting black from demonic energy contamination, already had half his face festering from demonic energy.

One of the main reasons humans cannot stay in lands contaminated by demonic energy: the longer they stay, the more they begin to be contaminated by demonic energy, until eventually their entire body rots and festers black.

Although Luinel and Nox had warned her in advance, and it was basically common knowledge she had already acquired while playing the game, facing someone dying from demonic energy poisoning right before her eyes made her feel strange.

“Is it true, truly true, that a Saintess who can purify lands contaminated by demonic energy has appeared?”

Luinel nodded with a heavy expression at the words the man with half-drooping lips stammered out.

“That’s right. I don’t know how much land the Saintess can purify, but treatment for the refugees will also begin after the land is purified.”

“Ah… So Helios hasn’t abandoned us after all.”

“How many refugees remain?”

“Not even half of those who initially gathered here. Roughly about 30 people. Most are in a state where they cannot move.”

Those who suddenly became refugees with nowhere to go initially tried to establish settlements in the ownerless mountains or plains and somehow continue their lives. However, the mountains and fields were already saturated with others in similar situations.

In the end, those who couldn’t find a place to stay wandered aimlessly across the continent and were frequently attacked by magical beasts. Their story was that they eventually settled here, which was at least safe from magical beasts due to the absence of life energy.

Evelyn, whose heart naturally became solemn, composed herself. Just then, the man who had been looking around discovered Evelyn standing beside Nox.

Upon seeing her receiving protection from the Imperial Knights and Holy Knights, the man suddenly knelt on the ground. Bl＊＊d flowed profusely from his already blackened, festering forehead. Alarmed, Evelyn immediately approached the man and tried to help him up, but it was of no use.

“Saintess. You are the only blessing Helios has sent down to save this cursed world. Please, please let Helios’s light dwell in this land.”

Honestly, it was extremely burdensome. The main reason she played this game was to pursue primal pleasure by entangling herself with the male leads. Evelyn’s pupils trembled at the sudden feeling of becoming a hero who must save humanity from the calamity of demonic energy.

However, she couldn’t bring herself to say, “Actually, I’m not that kind of grand Saintess, but more of a physical healer…” to his face, so she simply bowed her head properly.

“I will do my best.”

That was all she could say to the representative of refugees who had lost everything in their lives due to the sudden calamity of demonic energy.

***

What is life? The power of the purification skill she tried experimentally, like when eliminating a first-class magical beast’s core, was more powerful than she had expected. The problem was that it was too powerful.

“Waaaah! Saintess!”

“A miracle Helios has bestowed upon this land!”

“We love you, Saintess!”

Around the 31st day since the Purification Ceremony began, Evelyn blankly stared at the continent’s people cheering for her with hollow eyes.

‘…I want to have s*x.’

She truly, sincerely, desperately wanted to have s*x. It seemed like the days when she worried about her waist breaking while underneath the male leads were much better. Since perfectly purifying the first land in one go, she had been so busy she couldn’t tell where her eyes and nose were.
