Chương 53: Reborn as the Dragon: — Chapter 53 - The Death of Meisente

"Oh! Beautiful Miss Gogoko, this is my honor!" Master Meisente's eyes nearly fell out of his head at the sight of Gogoko in her sheer nightgown, her figure soft and provocative. His mouth hung open, breath coming in short, ragged huffs. He felt like he was back in the game. Just barely, but still. Just a little more.

"Master~""I haven't seen you all day. I missed you so much~""What magic does Master want to teach me today?" As she spoke, Gogoko settled herself into Master Meisente's lap with a slow, seductive smile. Her two soft little hands didn't stay idle either, fingertips tracing lazy circles on his chest.

"Ma... magic, teach..." Master Meisente was burning alive. He could barely get the words out. He lunged eagerly for Mei Magogoko's long, pale neck, desperate to press his lips to it. He had all the frantic urgency of a rabid dog that had been starving for two weeks and just spotted a steaming fresh pile of shit.

"Ah~" Mei Magogoko let out a little laugh. She raised one small hand and pressed it over Master Meisente's pig snout of a mouth. Then she leaned in, red lips hovering close to his ear, and breathed warm air against it as she murmured:"Master, it's so hot. Why are we wearing so many clothes?"

"Gogoko still hasn't had the chance to appreciate your... powerful physique~" Oh! Emperor Shivi above! Did you hear what the beautiful Miss Gogoko just said? Strong? She called me strong? Meisente nearly vibrated out of his skin with delight. He was nodding before she even finished the sentence.

"Yes... yes, good, I'll take it off, I'll take it off right now!" He sprang to his feet and stripped off his mage robe in about three seconds flat, tossing his staff aside without a second thought. Left wearing nothing but a pair of underpants, he turned a slow, proud circle in front of Mei Magogoko, presenting his magnificent physique to its best advantage. He even flexed. Fat-wrapped muscle bulged obligingly. But no cheers came. Master Meisente looked up, puzzled, and found Mei Magogoko's face blank. Cold.

Utterly expressionless. Like she was a completely different person from the warm, seductive woman of thirty seconds ago.

"Mei Magogoko, you—""Master Meisente." She straightened her clothes and fixed him with a look of open contempt.

"You are revolting."

"Look at yourself. Are you genuinely not a maggot that wriggles through toilet filth for a living?"

"And your breath. It smells like you ate a dead rat whole. When was the last time you brushed your teeth? Be honest." She let out a short laugh.

"Oh, and you don't actually think you're strong, do you?"

"Less than a minute, and you call that, " She paused. This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. Her lips parted. Her gaze was flat and merciless, and she formed each syllable with slow, deliberate care:"Gar."

"Bage." The two words dropped like stones. Like two blades driven clean through Mage Meisente's chest. His pride as a man didn't shatter. It was pulverized.

"How dare you, this is outrageous, ""Are you insane? Do you have any idea what you're saying to me?" Mage Meisente's face went purple. His whole body shook.

"Garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage~" Mei Magogoko stuck her tongue out at him, repeating the word in four different tones, each one a little more mocking than the last. That did it. Meisente's last thread of sanity snapped. He forgot he was a spellcaster. He abandoned magic entirely, charged straight at Mei Magogoko, and reached for her throat with both fat hands. Right then. The door exploded inward. The wooden door cracked against the wall with a concussive BANG.

"Old dog Meisente, get your hands off my woman!" Weimengshi came through the doorway with murder on his face and a longsword in his hand. He crossed the room in a heartbeat, slammed into Meisente like a freight cart, and brought the sword hilt down on his head, CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK, a dozen times, hard, without even a moment's hesitation. He wasn't holding back at all. If Gogoko weren't in the room, he would have opened with a full Battle Qi Slash and ended it there.

The Great Knight's blows sent stars cascading across Meisente's vision. By the time he remembered he was a mage and tried to start a chant, Weimengshi's boot was already connecting with his face. Meisente grunted and went airborne, hit the wall, and slid down it spitting blood. The blood mingled with the flow from his nose and ran freely down his face. He looked absolutely wretched.

"Sead-os-hutero..." He raised one trembling hand, reaching for a Lightning Bolt, trying to pull the spell together, enough to fry Weimengshi where he stood. But without his staff and robes to amplify the casting, he had no shield, his chanting was half a beat too slow, and Weimengshi was already on him. One open-handed slap across the face and the incantation fell apart. Meisente's face had never been lacking in flesh to begin with.

Now it swelled in real time, blooming into red and bruised purple, until he looked less like a mage and more like a dumpling someone had sat on.

"Wei... don't kill... don't kill me, the dragon, " Weimengshi knew exactly what he was trying to say. That the king's dragon-slaying mission couldn't be completed without him. That Meisente was irreplaceable. What a joke. The dragon was already wounded. And even if they couldn't kill it, so what? Weimengshi was one of the strongest fighters in the entire Anlius Kingdom. Was the king really going to execute him over one failed mage? He just wanted to be with Mei Magogoko.

As for the black dragon, they'd deal with it when they got there. Decision made, Weimengshi raised his sword to drive it through Master Meisente's chest, and then Mei Magogoko's voice rang out from behind him.

"Knight brother, stop!" Weimengshi turned, brow furrowed. They were this far in and she still wanted to spare the old bastard? Mei Magogoko caught the doubt in his eyes and quickly shook her head, expression twisting with something that looked like fury.

"Knight brother, let me do it." Her voice wobbled slightly.

"Gogoko is frightened — this is my first time killing someone — but this kind of filthy scum, I hate them more than anyone. I can't just let him off." She lifted her chin.

"You're a powerful knight. As your woman, Gogoko can't always be the one holding you back~" Weimengshi stared at her. What a girl. She loved learning. She loved life. She had a pure heart, a fighting spirit, and now, she had genuine courage. He was one hundred percent, completely, utterly satisfied. He handed her the longsword without a second thought and patted her shoulder gently.

"Gogoko, don't be afraid. Eyes closed, one thrust forward, and it's over." But naturally, a complete performance requires complete commitment. Mei Magogoko had no intention of actually killing Master Meisente herself. She still needed Weimengshi's cooperation. She couldn't afford to let him see through her. So she played the part. She squeezed her eyes shut, long lashes trembling. She turned her face away.

Both hands shaking, she gripped the longsword and brought it close to Meisente's neck, hovering, wavering, unable to commit. She stood there for a long moment, not stabbing. Weimengshi watched her. His heart softened to mush. Such a gentle soul, he thought. She's probably never even killed a chicken. It was cruel to ask this of her. But as her man, this was exactly the kind of moment he was supposed to step in. He moved behind her, arms sliding around her slender waist, and drew her gently against him.

Amid her soft, startled gasp, he pressed his lips close to her ear and murmured, in what he was quite certain was a deep, resonant, magnetic voice:"Gogoko. Let me help you." SCHINK! The longsword found Master Meisente's heart. He grabbed at the blade, at his chest, fighting it, but there was nothing left to fight with. Blood came in a rush. His mouth worked soundlessly, then produced a faint, wet rattling. His body went cold in stages. Master Meisente was dead.

A notification blinked into existence in front of Mei Magogoko's eyes: [Ding! You have killed the important plot character Meisente] [Meisente's power has been transferred into your body.
