The Wizard's Trap（EN） (Pixiv Fanbox)

The ruins of an eerie forest, shrouded in miasma.

Inside one of the rooms there, Laila was suspended with her wrists bound.

“I never thought the daughter of a half-wolf would end up in a place like this.”

“Ugh…!”

That day, Laila had accepted a request to deliver a package to a wizard living in the ruins.

However, it was a trap set by the wizard to capture her.

“Do you really think you’ll get away with this?”

Laila glared at the wizard and spoke defiantly.

“Hmm. As expected, a half-wolf is quite resilient. But I wonder how long that will last?”

At the wizard’s words, Laila looked down at her feet.

At her feet lies a poisonous swamp, its purple mud bubbling and emitting a fierce, toxic fume.

This was once a torture chamber used in the ruins.

Even if you step into the poisonous swamp, you won’t die immediately, but it will slowly sap the strength of anyone who enters.

The owner of the ruins likely exploited this, gradually submerging their victims in the swamp to force them to talk.

And Laila, too, was undergoing this baptism by the poisonous swamp.

The tip of her tail, already submerged in the swamp, and the mud splashed onto her skin had already begun to poison her.

“Let’s test just how strong a half-wolf’s resistance to poison really is.”

“Ugh…!”

Will Laila truly end up at the mage’s mercy like this…?

==============================================================

The first patron post of August features Laila for the first time in a while, with the theme “Poison Swamp × Restraint.”

I really like those poison swamps you see in RPGs where your HP gets drained just by walking through them.

They’re rarely depicted in detail, but imagining adventurers walking while being poisoned really gets to me.

This time, I had Laila experience a despicable device that uses just such a poison swamp (I’m such a jerk).

See you next time.
