Chapter 679: Doppelganger
The next floor turned out to be a boss floor as I saw the waiting area in front of a set of double doors.
Looking through the doors to see what the boss was, I found a rather familiar looking throne sitting in the centre of the room and nothing else around it.
I assumed that it had something to do with the throne where I fought the Succubus Enforcer in.
During that boss fight, it was clear that the Succubus Enforcer was meant as a ‘guard’ for the throne. So I assume that in this boss fight, I would be facing the one who should be seated on the throne instead.
If I had to guess, the monster might be some kind of succubus royalty or something.
Since the Enforcer was using physical attacks, I suspect that this one might be using seduction attacks instead or maybe magical ones.
We took a quick break, replenished our Mana, checked our gear, activated my [Mind Shield], then stepped into the boss room.
The fog wall appeared behind us, blocking us from leaving until we were either defeated or victorious.
The room then began to rumble and the throne in particular shook quite violently.
I watched the throne cautiously, expecting the monster to appear either on the throne or somewhere around it.
Sure enough, the shadows around the throne started moving and they coalesced under the throne before it flowed upwards onto the seat of the throne and gathered itself into the shape of a woman.
It even formed into the pose of someone seated with one leg crossed over the other and both their hands resting on the throne’s armrests, the standard pose of a regent.
Colour began to seep into the shadow and… Wait… Why does she look famili– Ah fuck…
I quickly realised that the shadowy figure was transforming into me.
Soon enough, I found myself looking at an exact replica of myself seated on the throne.
When I used [Screened] on her, I saw my own stats staring back at me.
The differences between us was that her name was “Aster (Doppelganger)”, she had no titles, her race was a Monster and that she did not have my unique skills.
Basically she was just another Shadow Summon for me.
The doppelganger opened her eyes before lifting up a hand to inspect it lazily.
“How exquisite… Hmm? Oh, it seems like I have guests. Welcome.”
It would have felt weird hearing and seeing another me speak but I had plenty of time to get used to it through my Shadow Summons.
I gave her a wave, “Hello~”
She tilted her head at me, “Oh? How interesting. Are you perhaps here to claim my throne?”
“Err… Not really, I’m just looking to pass through here actually. Any chance you might let that happen?”
“Ahaha! The only person allowed to pass through here is the one who sits on the throne. If you wish to proceed, you can only do so after you’ve claimed it from me.”
“Err… Ok… So what can I do to claim it from you? Could I decide the contest?”
“You do know where you are, don’t you? There can only be one kind of fight in a place like this.”
She reached her hand out and a [Spark Strike] appeared above her palm.
Oh, I guess it’s that kind of fight.
I was prepared for her to strip and then invite me to get closer to her while she was still on the throne to make it into a sex battle or something.
Hey! I just came back from a literal twenty four hour sex marathon with a goddess, ok?! You can’t blame me for assuming things!
Alright, this was basically fighting against myself and there were already pretty much more of me on this side than on hers so I doubt this would be a prob–
A sudden spike of pleasure shot up my spine and it took me a moment to realise that I was feeling someone jerking me off.
I looked down but saw nothing was there.
I even flipped up my skirt to check but there really was no one there, but yet I could vividly feel a hand stroking my cock up and down, which caused me to get erect really quickly.
My gaze went towards the only possible explanation in the room and found the doppelganger stroking her own cock with her free hand.
She gave me a sly smile before chucking the magic in her hand at us, the lightning bolt streaking through the air towards us.
Eins had already been prepared to receive it so she used her own [Spark Strike] to counter it, the two spells meeting in the middle and cancelling each other out.
г?ƹ+∂ɗ@-#Ғɪ+гѕτ–%а%τ-
She wasn’t even fazed by the fact that her spell got cancelled and simply continued jerking herself off in slow, methodical strokes.
“What did you do?” I asked, trying to ignore the feeling of pleasure between my legs.
She giggled, “Oh that’s simple. Whatever I feel, you will feel it as well. So if, for example…”
She stopped stroking herself and pinched herself on the arm, causing me to let out a yelp of surprise as I felt the same thing on my arm as well.
She then went back to pumping her dick, this time increasing the pace, “And what’s more… The feeling of it would be enough to make you experience the reality of it. Like this~”
Her hands moved even faster and I could feel the pleasure build up until the inevitable precipice of pleasure, the both of us letting out a cry of pleasure as we ejaculated.
My seed was pumped into my penis sheath but she didn’t have one so her cum was spurted out all over onto the floor.
I realised what that meant.
If she were to have her head cut off, I would also get the sensation of my head being cut off. If she were to get hit by a fire spell, I would also experience the agony of being burned.
If she were to die… I would probably experience the sensation of dying as well which could actually make me die because I mentally believed I died.
Hmm… I mean… I could probably counter this with [Desensitisation] where I just numb myself to the feeling of pain… But I wonder if there was another way to go about this?
Assuming that another party encountered her, how would they even get past this?
There should be another way since the previous room also had a different solution to getting past it. That means there should also be another way to get past this boss floor besides the most obvious one where we just kill her, right?
In the first place, what was the criteria for me to be picked as the one that she would transform into? Was it just because everyone else is a Shadow Guard and not an actual person?
But what if all of us were real? Who would be picked then? Would she only target females? Or was she targeting the strongest or the weakest?
Crap… I don’t know enough to even start figuring this out…
I looked at her, “Don’t suppose you’re going to tell me how I might get through this?”
“Oh? Are you giving up? There’s a very easy way you see~ You just need to die~” She giggled, flashing me a sly smile before winking at me.
Ok… This is really getting weird since I’m literally seeing myself over there speaking in such a way that I would not normally be doing and also acting like that too.
Even Eins and the others don’t act like that so I was definitely not used to seeing ‘myself’ act like that.
Actually… Can you act like that, Eins?
She read my mind and turned to me, “If Master wishes it, I will be able to do so.”
Err… Good to know… But I don’t need that right now so no thanks.
“Understood Master.”
I turned back to the doppelganger, “Just checking… If I feel what you feel… Wouldn’t you feel what I feel too? Or is this just a one way street kind of thing?”
She covered her mouth with her hand, “Oh my? Fufufu~ I wonder just which one it could be? Maybe if you stab yourself through the heart, I would also feel my heart get stabbed and die as well~ Maybe I won’t~”
Alright… I know a very simple way to confirm this then.
Eins came up to me without any verbal commands, which seemed to gain the doppelganger’s attention.
She probably thought I was actually going to try and stab myself or something.
Technically, she’s not wrong.
Eins then lifted up her skirt with her hands and tilted her waist at an angle towards me.
I then lined myself up with her before thrusting my hips forward, fully sheathing myself inside her.
Ohhhh~ Einsssss… Why are you making your pussy so tig–
“AHHHHHHHHH!!!”
I didn’t even get to fully enjoy the snugness of her pussy when a scream came from behind Eins.
I looked over her shoulder to see the doppelganger sprawled on the ground and cumming through her cock repeatedly, shooting out spurts of her cum all over the ground while she spasmed uncontrollably.
…
Ok… Guess I got my answer? And I wasn’t even orgasming either…
