Rigel had been ntally cornering Princess Norn, ready to enjoy himself, but the female knights interrupted and thwarted his plans.
"Heh heh. You girls aren't bad either. You're almost too good to be just an appetizer."
Rigel laughed. The two female knights glared at him fiercely.
"You insolent man… It was a mistake for you to co here alone. As long as we are guarding her, we will not allow you to lay a single finger on the Princess!"
"Prepare yourself! The Princess will never submit to a scoundrel like you!"
With those words, the two released their fighting spirit. As expected of the Third Princess's personal guards, their power was formidable. Seeing this, Rigel's smile grew even wider.
"Nice…! I love won with spirit! Do your best to entertain , alright?"
The mont he finished speaking, Rigel charged forward. Holding a plain iron sword in one hand, he closed the distance in an instant.
However, the won remained calm.
"Hmph!"
"Hah!"
With short, sharp breaths, they blocked Rigel's attacks. After several exchanges, he stepped back once.
"Hoh… Not bad at all."
Rigel sounded impressed. Blocking his attacks was already quite an achievent. Of course, he had only been testing them so far…
"Let's pick up the pace a little."
The mont he declared that, Rigel charged again. He unleashed a barrage of attacks at a speed almost too fast to follow with the eyes.
""—!!?""
The two female knights' expressions twisted. Just when it seed they would be forced into a purely defensive battle—
*Clang!*
A high-pitched tallic sound rang out. One of the female knights had parried Rigel's sword strike.
"Heh…? You managed to see through that speed?"
Rigel grinned. In response—
"Yes. My eyes are quite good."
The senior knight answered confidently. Rigel raised his evaluation of her. He then turned his attention to the other knight, but—
"Hm? Where did the other one go?"
She had disappeared at so point. He looked around, but she was nowhere to be seen. Then—
*Thud!*
A dull impact sound rang out as a shock hit his back.
"Mu…!"
Rigel let out a small grunt. When he turned around, he saw the junior knight in the middle of a spinning kick.
"Hoh…? So you're the agile one. Not a bad kick either."
Rigel muttered with interest. On the other hand, the junior knight looked slightly panicked. That was understandable — her previous attack had been a serious, full-power strike.
"To think you could take my kick so casually…"
The junior knight looked stunned. After all, her full-power kick should have been enough to inflict a fatal wound on a normal person. Yet not only had he blocked it effortlessly, he had even grabbed her leg.
Such a thing was naturally shocking. In response to her, Rigel said:
"What's wrong? Is that all you've got?"
"Khh… I still have my left leg!"
With a bitter expression, she moved. Using her captured right leg as a pivot, she tried to kick Rigel's head with her left leg. However—
*Grab!*
Her desperate left kick was also easily caught.
"Wha…"
The junior knight was now completely speechless. Rigel told her:
"Too bad. Now I've got both of your legs. You have no way out anymore, do you?"
With a fearless smile, he spoke. The junior knight grit her teeth in frustration.
---
Rigel was fighting the two female knights.
The senior knight excelled in dynamic vision, while the junior knight seed to have superior leg strength.
Both appeared to be quite skilled, but they were still far from being a match for Rigel.
The proof of that was—
"Hahaha! That kick was impressive, but now that it's co to this, you're just a woman!!"
The junior knight's spinning kick had been caught by Rigel, and both of her legs were now restrained.
While Rigel stood normally, the junior knight was left hanging completely upside down.
Struggling and flailing her legs in this position was pointless—and honestly looked ridiculous.
"Damn it…! Let go!!"
The junior knight desperately resisted, but the situation was already hopeless.
Once caught by Rigel, who possessed the cheat skill **[Rape]**, escaping was no easy feat.
Smiling, Rigel spoke to her.
"Hahaha! You think I'm stupid enough to let go just because you tell to? Anyway, seeing you like this really takes back."
"Back…?"
"Yeah. It reminds of playing with dolls. I had these really detailed ones—even their panties were perfectly recreated. I used to peek at their panties in this exact sa pose."
Rigel spoke nostalgically.
Hearing his words, the junior knight's face stiffened.
"Ugh…! Are you looking at my panties right now!? Don't look!!"
Her face turned bright red as she shouted.
Rigel answered without a shred of sha.
"You challenged to a fight while wearing a skirt and didn't even prepare yourself to have your panties seen? How naive."
"Ugh… Shut up!! Just let —"
The junior knight continued to yell, but her words were suddenly cut off.
Because—
**Splash!**
Her face was suddenly plunged into the water.
This was an underground waterway, so water naturally flowed through it.
It wasn't perfectly maintained, so the depth varied, but it was deep enough to subrge her face and make breathing impossible.
"Glub…! Glub…!"
The junior knight thrashed about, letting out muffled screams.
But with her legs sealed, there was nothing she could do.
At best, she could only flail her free arms and use her abs to struggle.
"Hey, don't thrash around so much."
Rigel spoke to the struggling knight in an exasperated tone.
Then—
**Yank!**
He forcefully pulled her body back up.
"Buhaa!!"
The junior knight's face burst out of the water.
She took a big gulp of air, then imdiately started coughing violently.
"Cough…! Cough, cough!!"
Rigel watched her intensely coughing with a wicked grin.
anwhile, the other female knight—
"That's enough!!"
She shouted and launched an attack at Rigel.
The senior knight delivered a sharp step-in followed by a diagonal slash.
It was a magnificent strike.
An average man wouldn't have been able to dodge or block it.
However—
**Clang!**
The female knight's attack was easily stopped.
With his bare hand, no less.
"No way!?"
She muttered in disbelief.
On the other hand, Rigel spoke casually, without any particular tension.
"Hey… what's with this pathetic swordplay? Are you even trying?"
Rigel looked genuinely disappointed.
The senior knight replied:
"T-That can't be! I am one of the foremost swordswon in the kingdom! For it to be stopped so easily…!"
She looked shocked.
In reality, she was a seasoned warrior who had slain countless enemies.
She relied on her excellent dynamic vision to dodge attacks and finish opponents with counters.
For her, having her attack caught instead of dodged was completely unexpected.
Not to ntion the sheer absurdity of it being stopped with bare hands…
"Your movent when dodging my attacks wasn't bad. But if this is all you've got when attacking, it's not even worth talking about."
Rigel shook his head as if tired of the whole thing.
He continued:
"That said, your judgnt wasn't wrong. While this girl buys ti, you were trying to let Norn escape, right?"
The mont she heard Rigel's words—
"…!"
Shock flashed across the senior knight's face.
It seed he had hit the mark.
Noticing her reaction, Rigel grinned—
"Did you really think I wouldn't notice? If so, you're pretty damn naive."
He spoke mockingly.
In response—
"Be quiet! In this dim underground waterway, once soone gets away, finding them again isn't easy! We've fulfilled our duty!!"
"Fufufu…! Exactly! You fell for my ti-buying tactic perfectly! Serves you right!!"
The two knights declared triumphantly.
Their mission was to guard Princess Norn.
The secret passage should only have low-level monsters or beasts, but they had accompanied her just in case.
Of course, it would have been best if they could continue escorting her, but now wasn't the ti for that.
If they could at least let her escape from Rigel—the greatest threat—then they could call their mission accomplished.
In response to their words—
"You think you can escape from ? I won't let Norn get away. And of course, I won't let you two escape either. I'll rape every last one of you, so prepare yourselves."
Rigel declared with absolute confidence.
