"Wh-What?!"

"What are you talking about?!!"

The Succubi shouted in confusion. They had tried to molest Oh Kang-Woo but none succeeded.

"Wh-Who is that woman?"

The Succubi gulped as they stared at Han Seol-Ah, who was staring at them with lifeless eyes, and the twelve black wings on her back.

"Ngh…"

"S-Something is…"

Chills ran down their spine. Their teeth clacked just from staring into the woman’s blank eyes. A nauseating fear engulfed them each time the twelve black wings flapped. They could instinctively tell something was wrong.

"U-Umm… M-Master?"

The Succubi stared at Kang-Woo desperately.

"Master…?" Seol-Ah, who was patting Kang-Woo’s head in her embrace, said calmly, "Why are you calling Kang-Woo your master?"

"Umm…"

"W-Well…"

The Succubi glanced at one another. The fear spreading throughout them died down slightly after hearing the woman’s gentle voice, unlike her terrifying eyes. They realized it was possible to get through to her.

"We have decided to serve Sir Kang-Woo as our master because we admire his personality!"

"We pledge ourselves to him!!"

"Umm… you are his wife, correct? You may also order us to your liking, ma’am!"

The Succubi approached Seol-Ah with a smile to prove they were innocent.

"Why… are you calling Kang-Woo your master?"

"Pardon?"

"Like we said, we admire his personality—"

"Why?"

Creak.

Seol-Ah tilted her head like the head of a wooden doll being turned.

"Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?"

"H-Huh?"

"WhyareyoucallingKang-WooyourmasterWhyareyoucallingKang-WooyourmasterWhyareyoucallingKang-WooyourmasterWhyareyoucallingKang-Wooyourmaster?"

"Eek!"

"Wh-What’s wrong with her?"

The Succubi stepped back in pallor but Seol-Ah stepped forward in response.

"Hm? Please, tell me. Why did Kang-Woo… my Kang-Woo… my only Kang-Woo… become your master?"

"H-He’s not!"

"He’s not our master!! We just called him that because we wanted to live!!"

"Why are you… not answering me?"

Flutter.

The black feathers of Seol-Ah’s wings fell like snowflakes as she flapped them.

"Th-This bitch is crazy!"

"She’s not right in the head!!"

The Succubi flew into the air in shock. Seol-Ah’s blank eyes followed them.

She asked as if she genuinely couldn’t understand, "How weird. Why is no one answering me when I’ve been asking the same question so many times?"

"W-We did answer!!"

"We just called that brat master because we didn’t want to die!!"

"Again." Seol-Ah stomped her foot on the ground. She raised her right hand and anxiously bit her nails. "No one’s answering me. Why aren’t they answering me? Hm? I’ve been asking the same question over and over and over and over and over and over again."

"Sh-She’s seriously insane!!"

Crack, crack.

Blood poured from Seol-Ah’s nails.

"I’m not asking much, am I? I just want to know why you called Kang-Woo your master. Isn’t it a simple question to answer? So… WHY AREN’T YOU ANSWERING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Rumble—!

The entire cave shook. Darkness poured out of the twelve wings, creating a small vortex. Black feathers flew through the air as if dancing.

"Damn bitch!"

One of the Succubi in the air charged at her to attack with her sharp nails. Seol-Ah easily grabbed the Succubus’ hand.

"Ngh!"

The Succubus tried to get away from Seol-Ah’s grasp with all her might but it was impossible since, in terms of power, Seol-Ah had surpassed Seraph.

"D-Dammit! Let go of me!!" the Succubus shouted.

Seol-Ah stared at the Succubus with blank eyes. She strongly flapped her wings and sprayed black powder on the Succubus’ hand that Seol-Ah was grabbing.

"H-Huh? Wh-What the hell is this?!"

Tsssssss—!

The sound of hot oil on skin rang out as the Succubus’ hand rotted black. The Succubus screamed as she saw her hand decaying rapidly.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! H-HELP ME!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIIIIIIIIIIIS?!"

It was a horrifying sight to see one’s body decaying. The Succubus could not feel pain likely because her nerves had also decayed but the fear of her body decaying took over her mind.

"Ahhh." Seol-Ah smiled as she listened to the Succubus’ screams. "You finally answered me."

Seol-Ah giggled as she tightened her grip. The Succubus’ decayed arm broke as if breaking a small tree branch. The Succubus’ entire body decayed soon after as she collapsed. Seol-Ah tramped on the decayed Succubus’ corpse.

"Fufu." She smiled as she scanned the terrified Succubi. "Right then, it’s time for you all to answer as well."

"KYAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!"

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!"

"Hey!! K-Kang-Woo, right?! Stop her, please—!!"

The sight was straight out of a horror film. The Succubi screamed as they scattered to run away from Seol-Ah, who flew into the air to chase after them.

"Now," Seol-Ah remarked with a smile. "Please answer me."

She flapped her wings aggressively, sending her black feathers flying like a snowstorm.

Tsssssssss—!

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! M-MY LEEEEEEEEG!!"

"M-MY WINGS!!"

The areas that were touched by the black feathers decayed black. Arms, legs, wings, heads… areas touched by the feathers turned into black mounds of flesh and fell to the ground. Thousands of feathers danced in the air every time Seol-Ah flapped her wings. The ground was filled with nothing but death.

"A-Aaaahh."

"S-Save…"

Thud, thump.

The Succubi fell to the ground one after another. The beautiful predators who brutally drained men of their life force met their ends as dried up as their prey.

’Holy shit, Darling as strong as fuck.’

Kang-Woo witnessed the inhumane massacre occurring in the cave with his mouth agape. He knew Seol-Ah’s magic qualities turned into that of powerful curse magic after falling from grace, but he couldn’t help but be shocked after witnessing the extent of her power.

’That aside…’

Kang-Woo looked up at Seol-Ah, who was bursting into laughter each time she brutally murdered a Succubus.

’This is seriously bad.’

He did not want to badmouth his precious Darling but he understood why the Succubi were screaming in terror; that was how insane Seol-Ah was acting. She exuded so much madness that even Kang-Woo was getting scared of her.

’She lost control again.’

No matter how furious she was after hearing Kang-Woo was almost molested, this was crossing the line. It seemed like her occasional loss of control happened to overlap with the situation here.

"Darling."

Kang-Woo was the only one who could stop her when she was in this state. He flew up to her using the Authority of the Sky and hugged her from behind.

"Kang-Woo…?"

Light gleamed from her lifeless eyes.

"Calm down, Darling. You’re out of control right now."

"No… These demons tried to molest you. They deserve more than this," Seol-Ah answered quietly as her eyes glinted with madness. "I will… kill every last one of them."

Kang-Woo gulped anxiously. Most of the Succubi had already died. He couldn’t care less about whether the Succubi were massacred or not but he needed to calm Seol-Ah down.

"They tried, but I didn’t let them."

"But your clothes were disheveled…"

"They just ended up like this as I fought them."

"Oh." The light slowly returned to Seol-Ah’s lifeless eyes. "Th-Then I guess you weren’t molested."

"Of course not."

"Haaa. After hearing that they molested you, I…"

Seol-Ah wiped her tears as she sighed in relief.

’I guess she thought I was molested for real.’

If that was the case, Kang-Woo could understand how crazy she got. He would have done the same if Seol-Ah were violated by a random demon.

’Thinking of it that way, maybe Darling is calmer than me.’

If it were him, he might have destroyed the entire world that the demon inhabited out of fury. He understood Seol-Ah’s actions after thinking about it in her shoes.

"There’s no way I would do it with any other woman than you, would I?"

"What about Lilith unnie and Yeo-Joo…?"

"I mean, they’re…"

"Hoho. I’m joking. Haaa. Really… my mind went blank when I heard you were molested." Seol-Ah shed tears of relief after calming down a little. She gently caressed Kang-Woo’s cheek and asked in worry, "Are you sure… you’re okay?"

"I’m sure."

"That’s… a relief." Seol-Ah embraced Kang-Woo. "From now on… don’t you dare go into a Gate without telling me. Do you have any idea how worried I was?!"

"Sorry. I’m really sorry."

Whatever excuse he had, he was in the wrong for leaving without a word. After all, he had collapsed not long ago.

"Are you sure you’re repenting?" Seol-Ah asked.

"Of course. I’ll tell you everything before I go from now on."

"Haaa. Kang-Woo…" Seol-Ah kissed Kang-Woo in tears. "Ah! B-But I won’t forgive you right away!"

She clapped her hands together, having thought of something as they were kissing.

"Fufu. You should naturally be punished if you did something wrong, wouldn’t you say?"

"H-Huh?"

’What kind of punishment?’

"Kang-Woo." Seol-Ah embraced Kang-Woo tightly with both arms to keep him from escaping and whispered in his ear, "Which one do you like more, cats or dogs?"

"..."

’Why are you asking something like that…?’

"C-Cats…?"

"My! I knew it!! I thought you’d look better as a cat too~"

’We’re just talking about animals, right? Right? Am I right?’

"Hehe. Kang-Woo with cat ears…"

"No, Darling. Please—"

"Please add a –nya at the end of your sentences, please."

’I don’t wa–nya.’
