Chapter 177

The factory might as well be a maze. Industrial metal structures blended together like an artist's fevered dream. With no map and having to stay low to avoid being seen by the dwarven automatons, Kanae could unwittingly be going around in circles. She kept an eye out for her friends. The moment they reunite, her temporary alliance with Lady would end. But there hadn't been a single sign of them.

"I'm going to fly up real quick just to check the surroundings," Kanae said, spreading her wings to take flight.

Lady snatched Kanae's ankle and yanked her down just as quickly.

"Do you see anyone flying right now? No. Not even the Underqueen's succubi would risk revealing their location to the constructs. I'm not looking to get mobbed again." Lady growled and rubbed her rear end.

The fact that it had long gone quiet must mean the others were lying low, too. Hopefully. Trying to find them in a place like this was going to be a pain.

"So, you've been down here for a while. How aren't you guys dead or under the Mistresses' control yet?" Kanae asked.

"My forces are careful. We're holed up elsewhere that I have no intention of telling you about. Anyway, the Underqueen's succubi are in the same rut. Those damn constructs seem to be a pain in their ass, too." Lady put a hand up to stop Kanae.

The two threw their backs against the wall as a patrol of automatons passed by. They stopped in the middle of an intersection, tossing broken parts into a pile. Piece by piece, the automatons plugged limbs back together and repaired themselves, bolstering their forces from five to ten, then wandering off again.

"No wonder there's so many of them. They can fix each other," Kanae muttered in awe of dwarven engineering.

"That's not all. I had a scout report that the central factory is creating more. We'll be down here fighting forever unless it's destroyed," Lady explained.

Destroy? So the secret weapon they were after wasn't an army of sex bots?

Lady began sniffing the air. Her black fur stood on end. She grabbed Kanae's arm and pulled her into the closest building, another workshop that was full of torture instruments. Potions lined the shelves from one end to the next. At the corner of the room was a wooden horse with a dildo and butt plug, and at another corner was an iron maiden.

"I smell them. They might have caught onto our scent, too." Lady clicked her tongue, searching the room for something.

"Who?" Kanae hesitated to ask.

"The Underqueen's daughter," she snarled.

They jumped behind the counter. Light footfalls and strumming tickled Kanae's ears. The Mistress of Debauchery, Labelle. She paused just outside of the building, then kicked open the door.

"I thought I caught the whiff of a mangy mutt and cum-hungry succubus. Ain't no sense in hiding anymore. Come on out and face the music," Labelle shouted into the workshop.

When Kanae and Lady did so, the rockstar succubus flashed a mischievous grin.

"Labelle." Kanae unwound Lust, expecting a fight.

"It was too much to ask that you stay outta this, huh? Can't say I didn't hope to see you again though. Oh, and the mutt? Since you're here, it doesn't look like you've found it yet. Lucky~" Labelle hummed merrily to herself.

"Same goes for you!" Lady lunged for Labelle without hesitation.

A light strum of the lute sent Lady flying across the room. She crashed behind the counter.

"How about some lights for your show?" Kanae flashed the succubus with a bright light from her nipple piercings.

"Ah, fuck! That ain't metal at all!" Labelle recoiled.

Lady jumped from the counter and pounced on the blinded Labelle. She knocked the lute away. Kanae switched on Sadistic, cracked the whip on the floor, and then lassoed Labelle's throat. The hellhound laid into her with a flurry of blows.

"Come on, you little doggy! Punch harder! I can do better than your light little paw swipes!" Kanae egged Lady on.

"This cunt is tough and… why are you acting so differently now?" Lady shot her a weird look.

"I fucking love mosh pits!" Labelle headbutted Lady away and yanked Kanae forward into a sucker punch. While the two reeled in pain, she walked across the room to pick up her lute. "Buuuut, you're both a hundred concerts too early to be mosh pitting with the likes of me."

Kanae and Lady picked themselves up. They were ready for round two until Labelle plucked a lute string. It was as though Kanae's entire spine vibrated. She felt every oscillation quickly bringing her to climax and dropped to her trembling knees. Lady, too, was incapacitated by pleasure.

"How are you… doing this?" Kanae muttered.

"It's not succubus magic, if that's what you're thinking. That's why those potions of yours don't work. Music is all about controlling vibrations in the air, and I'm the fucking queen of rock!" Labelle cackled.

Something caught her attention. The rockstar succubus sauntered past them and ripped open the iron maiden. Instead of metal spikes, a fleshy substance inside shivered and pulsated.

"The dwarves were some real perverts, but I gotta say— I like what they make." Labelle grabbed Kanae and Lady by the throats, threw them inside, and slammed the iron maiden shut.

"Hey! I'm not done with you yet, bitch!" Lady shouted.

"You two sit tight, alright? Sis and I will come back once we find Anicus," she said.

Tight was right. They were pressed up against each other and couldn't so much as wriggle around. The fleshy walls of the iron maiden began to tease their bodies. It was like a hundred little fingers rubbing them at the same time.

"Ah!" Kanae jerked violently to the tendrils prodding her pussy.

"Don't move like that! Your tits are crushing me enough already!" Lady growled.

"As if I can help it… mmh… I'm… starting to feel good… ahhh…" She shuddered from being caressed so tenderly by the fleshy things.

"Oh!" Labelle had picked up something like a manual. "Says here the dwarves called it the 'moaning maiden' instead of the iron maiden. Ahaha! I fucking dig it. Don't have too much fun in there. I wanna show you to the Queen-Mother. Ta-ta~"

The Mistress of Debauchery stumbled on the way out, clutching the side of her head. She had to lean against the doorframe for a second, then disappeared out of sight.

Trapped inside the moaning maiden, Kanae and Lady tried everything they could to break out. Everything didn't mean much when they could hardly move.

"You know… Since we're stuck like this, how about we—"

"How about no? You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Lady winced.

"Maybe…" Kanae averted eye-contact.

Their nipples were getting hard and scraping together. It was getting Kanae wet. The tendrils, maybe having sensed it, wriggled their way into her pussy. Lady tensed up, too. The same must be happening to her. As their breathing grew more shallow and agitated, the tight space became muggy and moist.

"There has to be a way out. The last thing I want is to be stuck with you and be made a curio in the Underqueen's bedchamber," Lady said.

"Just… I'll figure something out… Just let me cum first…" Kanae folded her fingers over Lady's hands.

"What are you doing…"

Kanae's tail between their legs was small enough to move around. But it was hard to concentrate while being teased by these strange fleshy worms, throbbing in her pussy and caressing her skin.

"Can you be quiet for one moment? Try to enjoy this with me," Kanae insisted.

"There's nothing to enjoy, you degenerate succubus! If you have a plan then do something— mmph!" Lady tried to rear back after Kanae planted a kiss on her. She couldn't escape it.

Kanae licked at the sharp, hellhound fangs. Their tongues twirled together in a sloppy dance. Lady responded by clenching her fingers. Knife-like claws bit into the back of Kanae's hand.

The tendrils seemed to sense their excitement and pumped harder into them than ever. Lady continued to stare daggers at Kanae, but this wasn't a chance she was going to pass up. She plunged her tail into Lady's soaking snatch made wet by the moaning maiden.

"Mmmprpphh! Mrrphh?!" Lady thrashed about angrily.

On the other hand, Kanae was having the time of her life. The moaning maiden teetered little by little. Lady eased up and even started getting into it. Kanae joined the tendrils in pistoning into the hellhound's honeypot. Her eyes moistened. Her breath became ragged. Drool slipped past their smacking lips.

"That's it, Lady… For how scary you like to present yourself, you're just a horny bitch in heat. Do you want to cum? Beg me, and I'll make it happen," Kanae whispered.

"As if… I'd give in to you— aaahhhh!" Lady's eyes rolled back.

They toppled over entirely. One side of their coffin cracked open. Kanae and Lady fell out, covered in sweat, and still wrapped in each other's arms.

However, Lady kneed her in the stomach and jumped away. The pain snapped Kanae out of Sadistic.

"Ow… I deserved that…" Kanae squealed.

[Congratulations! You are now level 225!]

"We could have done that… without sticking your damn tail inside me." Lady wiped the saliva from her chin and spat on the floor.

Kanae glanced back at the moaning maiden. The writhing tendrils pointed in their direction. Now that was something she wanted to bring home.

"You wouldn't have done it voluntarily. Besides, I can make you stronger now. Ready? I'm going to bond with you, so just let me in and don't attack me." Kanae extended a hand to the hellhound.

Lady grabbed Kanae's hand. And squeezed.

"Ow, ow, ow! Uncle! Uncle!" Kanae cried.

"That's payback. Fine. Do your thing," Lady said.

The connection formed right away. Kanae was surprised to feel from Lady a smidgen of respect towards her, though… it was also dripping with disgust. Deeper inside the demon lieutenant's heart, she also sensed a great deal of devotion towards Lord Charron. Just like Minestra.

"Huh. I do feel stronger…" Lady clenched and unclenched her fists.

A series of cracking drew their attention to the door. The dwarven automatons had found them.

"I think we should go." Kanae stepped back.

"Time to put your Bond to the test!" Lady barreled out of the workshop, knocking away scores of sex bots.

The two raced down the streets in the direction Labelle had gone, pursued by a horde of automatons. Suddenly, dozens of succubi blocked the way. They all shared the same curved and crown-like horns of the Mistresses, likely all daughters of the Queen-Mother.

"Labelle ordered us to slow you down in case you broke out, but she also won't mind if we stop… uh, oh—"

Kanae dove right and Lady dove left into separate alleys. The sex bots surged forth, throwing themselves on the succubus blockade. Everything devolved into an orgy. Each succubus was gangbanged by multiple sex bots, their charm and compulsion magic helpless against the mindless constructs.

They emerged from the hiding place and made a wide berth around them. Farther down ahead was a massive manufacturing plant. Conveyor belts from nearby buildings fed into the central factory. The source of the thick smoke and steam appeared to be coming from there.

"Kanae, thank the Supreme— whoa! It's Charron's lap dog!" Arenade, who was donning in a full suit of golden armor from Holy Armament, brandished her giant fucking hammer at Lady.

She wasn't alone.

"Your head is mine, demon!" Esta charged ahead with her greatsword, but Lady caught the enormous slab of steel with both hands.

"Wait!" Kanae came between them. "Lady's on my side!"

"I am?" Lady squinted.

"Then why doesn't she look convinced? I thought we were on our own side! Who is on who's side right now?" Arenade exclaimed.

"Ahhh! You're confusing me now! All of us can agree that the greater threat right now is the sex bots?" she asked.

They nodded.

"And Ambrosia and Labelle can eat dirt?"

They nodded again.

"Okay, good. We're all on the same page. Let's work together with Lady to stop them, then we can betray her after. That sound good?" Kanae asked.

"I'm right here, you know?" Lady put both hands on her hips and stared.

"Yeah, well it's not like you weren't thinking the same thing. By the way, I don't see Edina or Eliza. Where are they?" She searched Arenade and Esta for answers.

Before either could answer, the ground shuddered violently. They thought it was an earthquake until a giant construct stormed out of the central factory. The giant, bronze mechanical humanoid was twice their size. Earth and stone glued its joints together. Pipes in the head and back vented scalding hot steam.

"Step back, Master. Allow me to face this monstrosity." Esta stepped forward.

A hatch between the automaton's crotch squeaked open, then a large, vibrating dildo fired out from it.

"Hm. On second thought, I'm not very versed in dueling in this manner. Master, would you like to tag in?" Esta asked.

"No! That thing will literally split me open! What the hell were the dwarves thinking making a dick that big?!" Kanae cried.

The vibrating dildo swung wide. They dove to the ground as it buzzed overhead, knocking down a street light caught in its path. Kanae crawled over to Arenade and Esta to cast Bond on both of them.

"Guh… Not this skill again…" Arenade squeezed her thighs together.

Esta and Lady bodied the giant construct at the same time, but even with Bond, they weren't strong enough to topple it. The dildo swung for them, and Esta lifted her greatshield to block the blow.

"Necromancer coming through! Get outta the way!"

A death knight was plummeting towards them. Esta and Lady jumped out of the way, and the sword severed the construct's vibrating dildo. Goosebumps formed all over Kanae's skin, witnessing the phallus object get cut off. The necromancer herself was sitting upon her death knight's shoulder and threw a thumbs up.

"Edina, talk about timing." Kanae sighed.

"Heh. You can always count on me!" Edina grinned. "Can't say the same about the sorceress though. We got separated by the flood of lube— and is that Lady?!"

"Yes, yes. We're temporary allies and Kanae intends to turn on me later. That's been established. Now if we're all reunited and dandy, there's more coming!" Lady pointed ahead, where sex bots small and large marched out of the factory in mass.

Kanae was beginning to regret not flooding Ha'Vavish from the start. Now that Eliza was missing, they had to find her first. However, Ambrosia and Labelle were somewhere inside that factory… including what Lord Charron was searching for.

"Edina, we need the biggest army you can muster. Clear a path for us to get into that factory. Can you do that?" Kanae asked.

"A big undead army coming right up!" Edina slammed the base of her staff on the ground, and all four skulls and the brazier lit up.

A portal, much larger than the ones Edina conjured in the past, opened in front of them. Death knights, the undead dragon, bone brutes, and a legion of skeletal soldiers poured out to meet the sex bots.

"Edina? Hey!" Arenade snapped her fingers in the squirreling's face.

Something about Edina looked different.

"I'll hold them off," Edina said, her voice carried by a chorus of others they didn't recognize. "You get in there and wreck their shit."

Kanae hesitated to leave Edina at first, but they had no choice.

The undead army met the dwarven sex bots in battle. Unlike before, Edina's minions were able to withstand the rapey assault and deal some damage. They closed in on the factory entrance when Edina broke off from them and spun around to fight off pursuing sex bots.

"Sacrifice Undead!" Edina destroyed nearby minions to grant herself a suit of bone armor. After Kanae and her companions entered the factory, Edina commanded the remaining piles of bones to block in the doors after.

"Wait, Edina?" Kanae panicked, and she returned to beat her fists against the wall of bones. "Promise me, you're not going to disappear on me!"

"I promise. I'll catch up, pal!" Her best friend turned around and smiled reassuringly.

It took Arenade to coax Kanae away.

They entered the factory, leaving behind the cacophony of battle for the chorus of metal instead. The air here was stifling. Suffocating even. An ever-present orange glow illuminated the long and wide tunnel. Small windows along the walls offered a view of automaton parts on an assembly line.

The very end of the tunnel led into a tall chamber, shining light down onto a massive round table with empty seats— except one. At a glance, it looked to be a human woman. She had long, ocean blue hair and light silky skin. An open and empty compartment in her chest appeared as though something was meant to fit into it.

"We meet again," a sweet voice echoed.

Ambrosia descended from the ceiling and landed on the table next to the seated figure.

"Are you always waiting above us for dramatic effect?" Kanae asked, shielding her eyes from the bright light.

"Ambrosia's got a flair for theatrics. Not that I mind. Entertainers gotta give a good show." Labelle stepped out from behind the same seat, holding an unconscious Eliza hostage. Her eyes flicked to Arenade. "This sorceress was full of mana. Just an appetizer though. I see you brought us the main course. That high elf is looking scrumptious!"

"I, uh… I don't taste very good!" Arenade hid behind Kanae's back. "Tell them. Tell them! They'll believe you, because you're a succubus!"

"Now isn't the time to shy away! Also, you're making me look uncool in front of the Mistresses of Desire and Debauchery," Kanae whispered, then noticed Lady was particularly fixated on the automaton.

That must be what Lord Charron was after in this place. But why that one?

"Demon Queen Kanae, I believe I warned you last time that our next meeting won't be so kind," Ambrosia gently reminded her.

"This was supposed to be a three-way fight, but I can get behind teaming up against you two. Please, don't hold it against me." Kanae shrugged.

"Hmph. You would not be standing by that mutt's side if you knew what this thing is." She picked up the automaton by the neck and shook it.

That thing was an automaton? Compared to the others outside and being built, it had a face. It was life-like.

"Don't listen to her lies." Lady clenched her jaws.

"Enlighten me," Kanae said, ignoring Lady's protests.

"Charron wants to use this hunk of metal against us. It won't just be a threat to us, but also to you. An enemy that we cannot drain from? I shudder to even think about it. The dwarves and their ingenuity knew no bounds, because this isn't made from just any metal. It is made from the strongest metal ever known— meisterium, an ore with anti-magic properties that has only ever been used in small quantities. How they obtained so much is beyond us, but we will find a way to destroy this weapon. Well? Knowing that, do you still intend to side with the demons?" Ambrosia asked.

If it weren't for all the sex bots and sex toy inventions in the dwarven cities, Kanae might have believed them. However, looking at the busty humanoid automaton… it couldn't be used for anything other than sex… right?

"I just have one question," Kanae said.

"What?" Ambrosia lifted a brow.

"Look me in the eyes and— take this!" She flashed her tits at them, blinding both Ambrosia and Labelle.

They staggered back. Kanae flew across the table, picked up the automaton and Eliza, and returned to the others. A wave of vibrating force assailed everyone's bodies with pleasure. The ensuing force sent Kanae crashing to the floor.

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice… well there sure as three hells won't be a third!" Labelle bared her fangs.

"Oh, Kanae." Ambrosia trembled in wrathful fury, her lips peeling back to a deranged smile. "I shall show you and your cattle-friends why the Queen-Mother named me the Mistress of Desire."

A powerful and strange aura burst outward. It brushed against Kanae's skin and tickled at first, then… She glanced up and saw Ambrosia. Everything about her looked so beautiful. There was no one else like her. An urge welled up within her chest. An urge to… give herself fully to the Mistress of Desire.
