A World of Monster Girls

Chapter Sixteen

Test it on some demons? Girl, aren't you a demon yourself? Also, isn't it a bit dangerous when that snake boss is still roaming around?

"I know it may seem wild, but, do not worry. With your current strength, normal demons won't be able to get a hold of you. We'd just test it on demons who will attack you. You'll just incapacitate them, not kill them."

Oh really now? I do feel stronger because of this whole mana shenanigans, but have I really gotten so much stronger to the point that most normal monsters in this building won't be that threatening?

"Do not misunderstand, though. You are still human, and if you are not careful, some demons might successfully entice you, and capture you in their charm. Just stay focused, and you'll be fine," she said calmly, "hopefully..."

Ah, that hopefully is not reassuring at all.

"What about that snake monster thing?"

"Don't worry. Some demons can feel the presence of other demons, I'm one of those demons. And from the looks of it, she's still on the highest floor, doing who knows what.

I'm still a bit conflicted, but, fine, whatever. I still need to leave this place at the end of the day, and besides, It's not like I can do anything else. That snake girl sealed this place off with her magic and I won't be able to leave.

Might as well train my magic, and see how strong it is right now.

With a small sigh, I followed Alura through the door, Eve trailing behind us happily.

---

It was eerily quiet. It creeped me out, to be completely honest with you. It doesn't help that the hallway has stains of blood almost everywhere.

None of us were saying a word, well, except for Eve, who just occasionally barks for me to pet her. But Alura was silent. She didn't utter a single word as we moved and just closed her eyes as she kept on walking. Not sure why, but I believe it might be she's sensing the other demons or something.

I kept gazing at her as we moved. It was still a bit bizarre for me. Just a few hours ago, she tried to violate me, and yet, here we are. She even helped me use my mana. I honestly expected my whole decision of sparing her to bite me in the ass later, and I was ready for it, but I'm glad it turned out like this.

I wonder, are other monsters like her?

Probably not.

And If I meet a monster who's evident on killing or violating me with no chance of letting me go even if I tried to spare her?

The choice is obvious. I had to kill them. Still, it's weird. Whenever I think about killing a monster, there's this strange feeling that takes over me. Was I always this soft? They're trying to kill me, god damn it!

Even Alura in front of me, the fact that I even spared her was ridiculous by itself, but this 'feeling' I got when I thought about killing her took over me.

Was it hesitation? Anxiety? Fear? Or just guilt?

Why would I feel these when they're trying to kill me?

It only happened with monsters, too. At least, I believe that's the case. I feel like if a human tried that, I wouldn't hesitate as much to kill them or incapacitate them.

Ah, I hate this... What's wrong with me?

Whatever, let's not think about it for now.

"Hmm, they should be a couple of rooms away... But that place is engulfed with them. It's a bit dangerous... We need another one..." She muttered to herself while her eyes were closed.
