Volume 3 Chapter 41 Demonic Job Class
"Judgment? Ha, what the hell are you talking about?"
"You think you, useless Suisen, can do anything about this situation now?"
Seeing Suisen suddenly brimming with confidence, the male adventurers smirked.
While the atmosphere had changed compared to earlier, they couldn't believe that alone could overturn the difference in numbers.
Above all, even the strong receptionist Alium Groke had been powerless against this many.
Yet, Suisen maintained a relaxed smile.
"Let me ask you this: do you really think you can leave here safely after trying to harm Ms. Alium?"
"Huh?"
"And I need to apologize for one slip of the tongue. I said, 'This Suisen Pride will judge you,' but the truth is, you will end up rubbing your faces in this dusty floor without me even having to lift a finger."
"..."
An insulting remark that sounded like a provocation coming from someone overwhelmingly weaker.
The male adventurers felt anger rising, veins bulging on their foreheads.
"Ha! You're getting a bit too cocky. If you're saying that, then I'll make you regret it!"
With a roar of anger, one of the male adventurers lunged at Suisen.
In that instant──.
"[Protect me, Sianna]"
"──Huh!?"
Sianna, who had been frozen in place, reacted to Suisen's voice and stepped in.
"[Purple Nimbus]!"
A purple cloud formed from Sianna's hand, releasing purple lightning.
The nearby male adventurer was caught in the discharge, his body convulsing.
"Ughhh!!!"
Leaving a burnt smell in the tavern's ruins, the man collapsed to the ground.
In front of this scene, the other adventurers turned on Sianna.
"W-What are you doing, Sianna Navis?!"
"Are you planning to betray us?!"
"N-No! This is... my body moved on its own...!"
Sianna was deeply confused, having unknowingly taken down a male adventurer to protect Suisen.
Her body moved without regard to her own will, and even now, she couldn't move as she wanted.
Behind Sianna, who was sweating coldly on her forehead, Suisen brushed his bangs up again.
"I told you. There's no need for this Suisen Pride to get directly involved."
Then, Suisen looked down at the stunned male adventurers, raising his chin and deepening her smile.
"Now, continue to be my test subjects, you side characters."
"Hey, don't get carried away!"
One of them, further provoked with anger, charged at Suisen with a spear.
However, before he could reach Suisen, Sianna blocked him.
"[Blue Nimbus]!"
"──What!?"
A blue cloud was generated from Sianna's hand, and immediately after, a mass of water shot out from the cloud.
The water bullet, much heavier than normal water, struck the male adventurer in the abdomen.
Another adventurer fell to the floor, just as Suisen had said would happen.
"W-What is happening...? My body won't listen to me at all...!"
As Sianna muttered while looking down at her body, Suisen, who had somehow pulled out 2 "Divine Revelations," began to look pleased.
"This is the skill I possess... the ability of 'Charm.'"
"C-Charm...?"
"It's the power to make those who hear the voice of Suisen Pride obey my commands. Ms. Sianna Navis can now absolutely not defy my commands because of this Charm ability."
"..."
The ability to enforce commands.
Upon hearing that, everyone present was left speechless.
It was clearly an outrageous power beyond the norm.
Moreover, it was unbelievable that Suisen, who had been a Blasphemer, had awakened such an ability at this critical moment.
"I understand now. You all will never be able to compete with the existence known as Suisen Pride. In the face of overwhelming power, you might as well despair from the bottom of your heart."
"──!"
Seeing Suisen speak with such confidence, a man suddenly jumped out, trying to catch his off guard.
He had 2 choices: take the sleeping Alium hostage or ambush Suisen, and he chose the latter.
If what Suisen said was true, taking a hostage would be completely pointless.
So, he decided to attack before Suisen's voice could reach him.
Covering his ears with both hands just in case, he attempted a flying kick at Suisen, but...
"[Stop]"
"Ugh──!"
He was immediately noticed, and Suisen threw words at him.
The man, despite covering his ears, felt his body stiffen at Suisen's voice.
It felt as if the words were directly hammered into his head... no, into his "heart."
This was the special effect of the Charmer's other skill──'Fear.'
Suisen's voice resonated directly in the target's "heart," not in their "ears."
Therefore, it couldn't be physically blocked.
"Tch...!"
The man, frozen in place, couldn't help but click his tongue.
But soon, the stiffness wore off, and he quickly jumped back.
Looking down at his body, he realized he was free and calmly told his bewildered companions.
"Hey, calm down, you guys."
"...?"
"The 'power to enforce commands' is just a bluff. That guy's voice doesn't have that kind of coercive power. In fact, my restraints were released just like this."
With that calm judgment, the male adventurers began to feel less anxious.
However, another one, looking at Sianna who stood in front of Suisen to protect him, replied anxiously.
"B-but Sianna was completely controlled just by hearing his voice..."
"If the number of people increases, the coercive power might decrease. Or maybe there are certain conditions. Conditions that Sianna meets, but we don't, which heighten the coercive power."
The man's guess was correct.
The Charm ability has its conditions.
The subject is strongly "Consciousness" of Suisen Pride.
Anger, hatred, fear, disgust, jealousy, lust, infatuation...
No matter what emotion it is, those who are strongly conscious of Suisen become the target of Charm.
And the stronger that consciousness is, the weaker their resistance to Suisen's Command becomes, making them easier to control.
In fact, Sianna, who harbors an extraordinary lust for Suisen, was perfectly made to submit by the ability of Charm.
On the other hand, the male adventurers do not direct such strong emotions towards Suisen, so their resistance to the Command remains strong.
"...Ha, haha! If that power doesn't work on us, then the situation hasn't really changed at all!"
"Sianna's Magic will run out soon! Even if you make that one submit, you can't win against us!"
The male adventurers seemed to regain their spirits, cheerfully readying their weapons.
In front of this scene, Suisen maintained a relaxed smile and clapped his hands in praise.
"It seems there are some perceptive humans here. Well, it's true that as it stands, my Charm won't have much effect. So, I'll do it like this."
"Huh?"
Suisen suddenly raised his right hand and snapped his fingers with a 'snap' while chanting.
"[Illusion (Vision)]"
In an instant, a thin mist like white smoke began to drift around Suisen.
It gradually gathered around him, enveloping him, and soon revealed a sight that was hard to believe.
"Wha──!?"
When the mist cleared, Suisen was no longer there, and instead, an unnamed "black-haired beauty" stood in his place.
With flowing, lustrous black long hair and an alluring figure, she was an unparalleled beauty.
Her skin had a translucent quality, and her white clothing, resembling a nightgown, was so thin it appeared almost defenseless.
Faced with this sight, the adventurers were left speechless.
"W-What is this...?"
"I'm sure there wasn't a woman like this just a moment ago..."
Ignoring the flustered adventurers, the black-haired beauty squints her round eyes beneath her long eyelashes.
At the same time, a seductive smile appears on her delicate cheeks, and she lets out an enchanting laugh.
"Hehe..."
"..."
From her body, which embodies male desire, a sweet, fragrant air wafts through.
Her thin clothing barely contains her large breasts, and she crosses her arms in front to hide them.
However, her arms slip beneath her breasts, emphasizing her enormous curves even more.
The male adventurers, bewildered by the mysterious beauty, find themselves captivated by her alluring figure.
"[Everyone, bow down]"
"──What!?"
In an instant, as the mature voice of the black-haired beauty resonates, the male adventurers are forced to the ground.
It's as if an invisible force is pressing them down, their cheeks rubbing against the dusty floor.
"But, still...! "
"I can't move...! "
This was not a simple command with weak force like before.
It was a voice with overwhelming power that they could never defy.
Sianna, who had also fallen to the ground, suddenly realized the true nature of Suisen's power.
Struggling to move her body, she squeezed out her voice to warn the adventurers.
"Everyone...! Don't be deceived by Sir Suisen's 'illusion'...! If you lose your heart, you will be manipulated...! "
"It's useless, Ms. Sianna Navis. Consciousness cannot be easily controlled by one's own will. And once someone has been 'consciousnessed,' they won't be forgotten so easily."
As Suisen transformed back from the black-haired beauty, he looked down at the fallen adventurers with pity.
The emotion that enhances the force of charm the most is "Lust." To stir that emotion, Suisen used the unique power of a Charmer.
With the illusion, he could confuse others and strongly stimulate their hearts using 'Enchantment Magic'.
That one of his [Illusion (Vision)]. It is a magic that can freely change his appearance.
It is an illusion, but by Suisen's own power, the illusion becomes more intense and realistically exudes reality.
Not only appearance, but also voice, scent, and the feeling of touching it, everything can be reproduced without any difference from reality.
By showing an Illusion (Vision) that is almost close to a real entity, Suisen captured the hearts of male adventurers.
And by strongly Consciousnessing the existence of Suisen Pride, it became possible to force complex Commands on many people at the same time.
