Chapter 222: The Unicorn's Harshest Punishment (1)
Currently, the barrier leading to the World Tree had two breaches, and elf spirit mages and dryads were working hard to restore it.
Additionally, mana bombardments deflected by the barrier had caused fires in random places, so most elf rangers were busy putting them out around the World Tree and tracking down the accomplice the unicorn had brought.
"They say it's instinct for a unicorn to grant wishes when it meets a virgin, but this time she crossed the line."
"Even if she's one of the few remaining unicorns, relying on the forest's blessing to interfere with our rightful protection of the World Tree is unacceptable. What if the intruder had tried to burn down the tree itself?"
The remaining male elf ranger and the elder elf were having such a conversation, and it was clear that this incident was quite serious to the elves.
In human terms, it was like someone damaging the royal castle's wall and causing havoc inside—you'd expect an immediate execution for treason.
"What do you think, human child?"
"I don't really know, so I'll abstain."
I kept glancing away from the elder elf's chest, which made me think she might start leaking sap, but she kept asking for my opinion, putting me in a tight spot.
'Her chest is surprisingly big for an elf...'
"Don't be rude and stop staring at a married elder's chest."
"...She's married?"
"Yes. By her age, she's like our great-great-grandmother."
Hearing that, all lewd thoughts vanished, and I could finally look at the elder elf with a calm expression.
'A granny... though she doesn't really feel like one.'
"This time, Uni should be punished. We've overlooked her pranks and her clinginess to Pai and other unmarried elves before, but this time she broke through the grand barrier that protects the World Tree and brought in an intruder. At minimum, we should damage her horn to prevent further space-jumping."
"Poor Uni... But I agree we can't leave this alone. What's the current damage assessment?"
"The sword sheath stored in the spring was stolen."
"That's serious. The sheath alone isn't dangerous, but... it does mean she intentionally allowed a hostile force to enter."
We quietly listened, unaware of the unicorn's background, but it seemed this mess she caused would bring serious punishment.
Eventually, the elder elf pulled out a leaf from her bag—the same object we had seen earlier.
'Leaf Blade.'
Fixing the leaf to a prepared wooden handle, she blew her spirit power into the World Tree leaf and spoke an incantation.
"O World Tree, grant us the blade to sever what we desire."
After a moment of hesitation, she shut her eyes tightly and declared the target.
"Uni's horn."
Thus, a blade to sever the unicorn's horn was created.
"Then, someone among the elf rangers skilled with the sword should carry it out."
I didn't think there was any reason to wait, so I raised my hand in front of the elder elf.
"I'll do it. Even if she resists, I can subdue her."
"Letting a human handle this punishment is a bit..."
The male elf ranger voiced his objection, but since I had played the biggest role in subduing Uni earlier, he couldn't strongly oppose it.
"Please, make sure Uni doesn't suffer too much."
"Understood."
So the idea was that the unicorn relied on the forest's blessing to go wild—if she's no longer a unicorn, she can't do that anymore.
'Make her a bicorn, then?'
The unicorn was tied up in one of the elf huts destroyed during the recent attack.
"Let me go!"
Bound in her female form with ropes made from the elder elf's hair, she was struggling.
She looked like a well-endowed, pale-blue short-haired virgin, but the golden horn on her forehead, the matching tail, and hooves in place of hands made it clear she was a unicorn in disguise.
"Ugh... that filthy stench is getting closer again..."
"Filthy? I just washed with dryad sap."
"It reeks! You disgusting male, touching all kinds of impure women—your stench is rotting my nose!"
She tried to break the rope made from hair, but it was imbued with spirit power. It neither loosened nor constricted painfully.
Only the person who tied it could undo it, so the rope around her neck from earlier was still in place.
The elves must not have wanted to be cruel, since the neck rope was just hanging loosely. They even found a table to let her lean on comfortably.
'Guess that rope's sturdier than it looks.'
Though it didn't tighten, she couldn't break it even with her unicorn strength.
"The accomplice's identity."
"Hmph, like I'd tell a filthy male like you."
Still defiant, I took a moment to examine her body.
'Bigger than I thought.'
She seemed shorter than Eileen in unicorn form, but bigger than Angelica. Not quite as large as a warhorse, but comparable to a normal packhorse.
She stood a little over 170 cm. Her breasts weren't massive or firm like Eileen's, but they were still quite plump...
"You filthy males are all the same. You won't even get to touch me, so just let me go. It'll be better for both of us."
"Really?"
Since she was already tied up, I lifted her skirt, which reached her knees.
'No underwear in the Elf Forest, huh...'
Elf rangers wore underwear since they moved around in trees, but as a unicorn, she had none.
Maybe the clothes were made by transforming her own fur, or gifted by elves and enhanced magically... Professor Pandel would know, but no need for him here.
Slide.
"Creep! Where do you think you're touching?!"
I touched her ass. Since I wasn't hurting her, I didn't feel anything weird. She was lying on her front, so her breasts hung down. When I reached for them, she turned to bite me, but I pulled the neck rope forward to restrain her and started fondling her breasts.
'Softer than expected.'
Centaurs had muscular chests, firm like abs despite their size. But maybe because unicorns didn't run wild as much, her chest was firmer on the inside, but the outer layer was soft and fatty.
"I'll kill you!! How dare a filthy male touch my body...!"
"These things are made to be touched by males."
"Only to other males...!"
Since unicorns prefer virgins, she kept calling me a filthy male, which was getting annoying.
She couldn't fight back and was going to end up as a bicorn anyway.
Her ass was firm, but softer than Eileen's—I grabbed and rubbed it while examining her lower half.
'She's definitely a virgin, right?'
If she loves virgins, she'd definitely value her own virginity too.
So I gently placed a finger on her pussy, and she tried to kick me with her hind legs.
Whack!
"Ugh...!"
But the rope around her ankles stopped her before she could hit me. With one leg lifted, I spread her open and took a look inside.
"It's clean and pretty."
"Don't look! Don't look at my precious place with your filthy male eyes!"
"It's made to be looked at."
It was tightly closed, clearly untouched by anything, not even a foreign object. Her undeveloped pussy didn't match her voluptuous tits or ass.
Spread.
I gently pulled it open and saw the hymen clearly.
At that moment, she flailed wildly, trying to escape. I had no choice but to press my crotch against her ass from behind and grab her horn to restrain her.
"Ugh!"
If you didn't know how to handle a horn, it could slice your hand or scratch your face. But I was used to it.
I grabbed her jaw, pressed her head forward, and wedged her horn between the wooden planks of the hut wall to lock her in place.
"What the hell...!"
This technique, of course, I learned from handling Erin.
"Filthy male! Don't rub that disgusting thing on my ass!"
"I'll put it in soon, so hold still."
"Put... No way...?!"
She finally realized the threat to her virginity and tried to escape, but it was too late.
"Give it up. There's no way out of this."
"You... Neighhh!!"
"Ugh?!"
As I tried to fix her posture by holding her neck, her body began to glow and grow larger.
'No way...'
Her ass rose, front hooves touched the ground again, and her clothes turned back into white fur, transforming her into her original unicorn form.
[W-what now?! You can't possibly do anything to me like this!]
Flex.
[W-what the hell?! Why does he smell even more dangerous now?!]
"Well, I'm used to both horns and horse bodies."
I learned horns from Erin and horses from Eileen and Angelica.
[That's not normal!]
"Still, thinking I can't fuck a horse ass is underestimating human potential."
[What kind of potential is that... Ah! Don't spread them!]
