Chapter 175

Kanae didn't like the idea of Edina coming with them to Artaggon. At all. Aside from her, everyone unanimously agreed that the dwarven sex bot threat demanded the necromancer's intervention. While lying awake in bed, unable to sleep after a long day, she couldn't shake the bad feeling of bringing her troubled best friend closer north.

Somehow, Arenade managed to sleep soundly. At times like this, Kanae wished she had gotten a second bavarii before leaving Suvius. At least King Turren was sleeping well.

Kanae sighed.

Feeling a little mischievous and jealous of Arenade's restfulness, Kanae cast Turn Horny on her. The high elf drew a sharp breath. Her face took on a shade of red. She squeezed her plump thighs together.

"Kanae… if you keep touching me… I'll… nngh…" Arenade swallowed her moans, tossing and turning in bed from the spell's erotic hold.

Kanae left the room satisfied and decided to wander their mansion halls in a light nightgown. By this time of the night, all of the servants had gone to bed. Only a few guards out front were awake. She emerged from the mansion and into the backyard. Gretchen sat underneath a gazebo, wine glass in hand and gazing up at the stars.

"You're not staying up to stand guard, are you?" Kanae asked, joining the disgraced archbishop at the table.

"I'm staying up because I choose to. Lately, I've been thinking of home." Gretchen filled the glass with more wine and pushed it across to Kanae. "Rather, what I consider to be home."

"You mean Ortesia?"

Gretchen shrugged after a pause. "My family, the Redbarons, boasts a long and glorious lineage. Our only blunder was that a founding ancestor was a dark elf. It is why I have this hair color. The place I called home resented this mark of embellishment." She ran her fingers through her hair, pulling a single loose strand that was soon taken by a breeze. "When I first arrived in Radevic twenty years ago to attend Knights' Academy, I'd never met a more diverse… more welcoming group of people before. However, my arrogant need for validation from my family and Ortesia pushed them away. I'm beginning to understand where our true blunder lay. It took a severe humiliation and a meddling succubus to make me see that."

The Empire of Ortesia, a place ruled by high elves who believed they were the Supreme One's favored children. It sounded like a miserable place for anyone else. For its own people, too it seems, and Gretchen was among those unwitting victims of their pride.

"Well, a lot more happened than just a humiliation and a succubus. I heard from Renya what happened while I was away. You protected Suvee and Kanade," Kanae said.

"I only did as I was ordered. If anything, I should be punished for nearly failing to protect them." Gretchen looked away, appearing ashamed of herself.

"I'm pretty sure those two are sound asleep in bed right now. Don't be too hard on yourself. Though I have to admit, it was a lot easier to hate you when you were still resisting me. Did you have a genuine change of heart in there?" she asked.

Gretchen briefly traced her tongue along her gums, then pulled the glass of wine back to her side of the table.

"You're welcome to find out by releasing your hold on me, Demon Queen." Gretchen lifted the glass up to her lips and offered a soft smile.

Kanae chuckled to herself, then got up to leave. It wasn't until she reached the door that Gretchen called back to her.

"I understand your necromancer companion is going through some things. The Pillar of the Damned, was it? A wretched weapon of foul make. I know very little about the staff myself, but chances are the lords of Ortesia are much more informed. Their ancestors defeated a wielder before," she explained.

"Thanks. I doubt they'd part with that information so easily, but it's still a lead worth checking out." Kanae smiled, then headed back to turn in for the night.

In the morning, Kanae and Arenade said goodbye to their kids. Gretchen would take care of them in their absence again. They returned to Aidenhall, specifically to Eliza's tower to go over the plans of attack. The others were already there and waiting.

"We will likely face fierce fighting from succubus and demon forces," Eliza began, pressing a finger to the map where their enemies were located. "If Ha'Vavish is anything like Tortuga, then it will be deep underground."

"A lot deeper. Remember Kris telling us that Tortuga was closest to the surface?" Kanae reminded them.

The sorceress nodded. "I remember. Which is good reason to believe both sides took their armies down there. Between them, the dwarven creations, and us—"

"It's going to make for one helluva big fight!" Edina smashed a fist into her palm.

Kanae frowned. She didn't share the necromancer's excitement.

"Which means it is inevitable that we end up fighting Ambrosia, Labelle, and Lady again. We're familiar with the latter two. The former, however…" Esta glanced up at Kanae.

"I wish I knew more. She showed up, said a few things, and left. The only thing I recall was a strange aura that she emitted, but it was different from Gretchen and the Grand Eye's auras," Kanae explained.

Two Mistresses and a demon lieutenant. Although Kanae and her side had heavy hitters, too, it definitely wasn't going to be any easier.

"I've been wondering about this for a while now, Amethyst. You were down at the stables with the languisteed Titan, is that correct? How was it that you did not tire him out first?" Eliza asked.

Everyone turned to her, but Kanae drew a blank.

"Eh? W-Why are you asking me about that now? What does that have to do with going to Ha'Vavish?" Kanae questioned back.

"It has everything to do with it," Eliza insisted. "Our greatest threat is the succubi. We have one right here who can give us a glimpse into defeating them. It hasn't escaped my notice, Amethyst, that some of your… partners are capable of lasting much longer than others. Titan, for example, you two continued having sex for days. By all accounts, he should be a husk. This is in comparison to the giant that kidnapped you in Suvius. He was practically dead after one day. How exactly does your drain work?"

"I-I'm not sure. Drain is a passive skill. It just happens when I'm doing it," she tried explaining, but the answer didn't seem to satisfy the scholar.

"Wait, you've been screwing languisteeds again? That's where the smell has been coming from? And you told me it was just my imagination!" Arenade glared at Kanae.

"Er… This is starting to sound less like planning, and more—"

"I simply must know! Is it because you're rendered a gibbering fool during sex? The size of their phallus? Your masochistic tendencies that are akin to a mind-broken whore?" The sorceress stomped closer with every question until she backed Kanae into the wall.

Someone kicked open the door and interrupted Eliza's interrogation.

"I believe I know!" Marwin entered with a smile.

"Unless you have decided to join us, get out of my tower." Eliza powered up a teleportation pellet and threatened to throw it at him.

"Wait! I have reason to believe Kanae is different from the other succubi, and that reason alone is why she has the potential to become stronger than all of them— it's love!" he exclaimed, stopping Eliza from chucking the pellet.

Instead of kicking Marwin out, they decided to hear him out and pulled up chairs to listen to his explanation. Kanae was confused most of all. She had never given her skills much thought. They just worked, such was the magic of this world. She didn't need to question them.

"You're telling us that love is the key difference between Amethyst and the other succubi? How does that work?" Eliza squinted at the wizard.

"When a succubus drains, they take from their victim stamina, health, and mana. It doesn't seem to matter that the succubus is full, because they take regardless. For the sake of the argument, we're only looking at mana here. Every living being has their own unique pool that varies in depth. Say you drink a mana potion to restore yourself to full, drinking another doesn't give you more. Thus making their method of draining inefficient. I suspect Kanae subconsciously takes less from those she cares about, as a way to avoid harming them. Why do I think this? I'm exhausted after a few rounds, but Kanae and Runald can go for an entire day without tiring. It makes me so jealous, I couldn't help but pay close attention!" Marwin chewed on his thumbnail.

"Now that I think about it… Way back when Kanae first drained me, she took everything. Nowadays, it's like a little smidgen. I always chalked it up to her not needing much," Arenade said.

"Pft… ahaha! Hold up… Kanae, does that mean… you're in love with a languisteed?" Edina asked, tears forming at the corners of her eyes from laughing so much.

"N-No! I mean… I don't know! I just like big dicks. Leave me alone!" Kanae slumped down in her seat.

"Surely the other succubi also understand love," the sorceress chimed back in.

"That's the thing!" Marwin shook his head. "I don't think they do. Their idea of love must be so warped from centuries of living underground alongside sisters and monsters, and serving only the Queen-Mother. On the other hand, Kanae for whatever reason is capable of loving genuinely."

I am originally human… though only Arenade really knows that.

Could it be that Hilde knew all along, and that was why she had been so desperately searching for love?

"Master Marwin, I'm still not following. What good does this information do for us in the fight against Ambrosia and Labelle?" Esta asked.

"If you prolong the battle and wear them out, they will need to seek someone to drain and replenish their energy. They will drain indiscriminately and without moderation. Do you know what that means, pupil?" Marwin smiled at Kanae.

"I can outlast them!" Kanae gasped.

"On top of your Cursemarks supplying you with constant mana… We'll need to test the theory. Thankfully, we have just the prisoner. Oh, how I love a good experiment," Eliza mused excitedly.

They traveled down to the dungeons to retrieve Hilde, the Mistress of Subjugation, and bring her up to one of the training grounds. Marwin and Eliza had it cleared of students for the time being. The dungeon guards were afraid Hilde might try to escape, but with how outnumbered she was, there was little to fear.

"What is this? An execution?" Hilde asked as Eliza undid her anti-magic restraints.

"You're going to help us test a theory. It goes without saying, don't try to escape. The might of Aidenhall will come down upon you like a storm. Be good, and the Grand Eye may even reduce your sentence by a few months!" Marwin, who was inhabiting the body of a minotaur, teased her.

"Hmm. I don't know you, yet I feel a deep animosity towards you…" She eyed him suspiciously.

Four volunteer knights descended the steps into the training grounds. When Hilde was imprisoned, they were among the list of loyal candidates to feed her. It would have been cruel to let her starve after all. Since they had sex and were more fond of Hilde due to their encounters, they fit the criteria of being bonded.

"You and Amethyst will expend mana by using Bond. These are your four, and Kanae has her own," Eliza explained.

That four being Arenade, Edina, Esta, and the sorceress herself.

"An interesting but pointless exercise. I assume I have no choice in the matter?" Hilde scoffed.

"No, you don't. And here is your feeding fodder." Eliza stepped aside for two more knights and Marwin, as a minotaur, who have all taken the anti-succubus magic potions.

"Wait, is that why you're in minotaur form? So you can have sex with Hilde?" Kanae gaped at her old mentor.

"You're absolutely right, and I refuse to be ashamed about it!" Marwin exclaimed.

"My respect for you is already at rock bottom anyway." She sighed.

Their purpose was to serve as a battery to Hilde. Her magical charm wouldn't affect them, but she was still able to drain their energy.

"Uhh. Where's mine?" Kanae asked, looking left and right for her sexual batteries.

"Yours should be arriving soon— Oh, speak of the demon lord!" Marwin spun around.

Kanae did, too, but she nearly tripped over herself seeing Runald and Titan coming over.

"I was told to bring Titan and a helping hand to this training ground. What's going on?" Runald searched Kanae for answers to which she had none.

"Wait, THEM?!" Kanae cried.

"They are all we have on short notice," Eliza whispered. "This works out, because Hilde's fodder are crowned mages with much larger mana pools than your three. By all accounts, she should outlast you even with a few Cursemarks to supplement your mana."

Left with no choice, Kanae resigned herself and went to explain to her feeding fodder why they were here. Runald wasn't happy to say the least.

"Every single time, it feels like you're dragging me further away from the light! How many times do I have to tell you, I'm not into these depraved acts of yours! I'm pure!" Runald complained.

"You're telling me…" Arenade rolled her eyes. "And I'm married to this slut."

At least someone was eager.

Titan nuzzled his snout against Kanae affectionately, and she returned the gesture by tugging on the large tusks.

Everyone got into place. Kanae and Hilde cast Bond on their respective targets. The four knights and Kanae's friends sucked in a deep breath. Power surged through them, strengthening both their physical and magical capacity. In exchange, however, the casters were beginning to lose mana and the recipients were tormented with sexual pleasure.

"You may have defeated me before, but I will not lose to you in this. For years, I've bonded with my dragons. You? You're just a fledgling," Hilde taunted.

"I'm not the one going back in chains after this," Kanae fired back.

Meanwhile…

The knights, new to this feeling, had fallen to the ground like they were hit by Turn Horny.

"Supreme One, help me… It's like I can't stop jizzing…"

"Gods, I wish I could feel like this everyday!"

Kanae's companions fared better, having been subjected to Bond many times before. Though, they were also red in the face and occasionally squirmed around.

An hour passed by… two hours… three.

Sweat beaded on Kanae and Hilde's foreheads. They breathed heavily. Their mana was starting to run low. As expected, maintaining Bond on multiple targets for long periods of time was taxing. And Kanae had the capacity to Bond up to ten. Only for a short while at least.

"Is the test over yet?" Arenade asked, her legs trembling from being kept at the verge of climax for hours now. "How in the three hells are the rest of you doing fine?!"

"I'm used to fucking." Edina shrugged.

"For me, it is both an honor and privilege to receive Master's blessing. If this can continue forever, so be it." Esta stood tall and proud, but it was obvious by the wetness seeping down her scaled legs that she had been orgasming freely.

Eliza, however, didn't say a word. She propped herself up on her staff, one hand to her crotch and taking controlled breaths.

"Tch… You, human knight. Take your clothes off now!" Hilde demanded from one of her feeding fodder.

The man quickly did as ordered only to get shoved to the ground before he finished undressing. Hilde climbed on top of him, guiding his dick into her ravenous entrance.

It seemed the real test began now.

"Runald… get your pants off," Kanae ordered.

"Fine, fine…" Runald unbuckled his trousers, but she was disappointed to find a soft penis. "What do you want from me? I can't get it up with an audience around!"

Kanae held the flaccid member and cast Turn Horny. It became erect right away. She let a glob of saliva drip down and land on his dick, then stroked it until the entire shaft was wet. While on their feet, Kanae pulled Runald closer and guided his throbbing rod into her soaking pussy. It slipped in easily, eliciting from her a sigh of pleasure.

"Good… Mmm… You're doing good, Runald…" Kanae embraced him, one hand on his ass and the other behind his head. He was only as tall as her chest, so she had him bury his face between the two mounds.

"Of course… you're wetter than usual… You like doing it in the open, don't you?" Runald's words sank deep like the fangs of a snake bite.

"Oh, you know it." She smiled, grinding harder on his dick to coax the mana into herself.

While they slow-fucked intimately, Hilde bounced wildly upon the first knight. To call her hungry was an understatement. Like a starved animal, she feasted mercilessly on the poor knight. The long tail had wrapped around his neck, pulling him up to face her.

"Is this all you have for me? A cattle knight from a cattle ranch called Aidenhall musters so little. More! Give me… nngh… more!" Hilde growled.

"I changed my mind! This crazy bitch… I thought having sex with a succubus would be fun! Not a fight for my life!" the knight cried.

"Do me next! I can take it!" Marwin pointed eagerly at himself.

Hilde snapped her fingers, seizing hold of Marwin in the minotaur body. He sauntered over with his giant dick for her to suck, then controlled the other knight closer to perform a handjob on him.

"It's working…" Eliza winced, eyes glossy from the hours-long edging. "Hilde is feasting without care for how much she drains…"

"Either way, I'm not going to be out done. Titan~" Kanae whistled for her stead, who trotted over immediately. She opened her tail into a gaping maw. Like a serpent swallowing its captured prey, the tail-pussy engulfed the massive languisteed dick bit by bit.

"Kanae… I can't hold it in much longer!" Runald's hands clamped down on her butt cheeks, squeezing them as he unloaded into her.

Titan, too. His dick trembled with the force of an earthquake. My tail was too much for him to bear. A wave of hot cum surged up Kanae's tail and filled up her womb, mixing in with Runald's spunk.

"How are you feeling? Can you keep going?" Kanae asked, gazing down at the quivering high elf.

"Y-Yeah…" Runald answered embarrassedly.

For the next few hours, Kanae continued her threesome with Runald and Titan. They took turns fucking her in every hole, leaving her drenched in ejaculate and begging for more. She was sucking Runald off and taking a pounding from behind by Titan when clerics rushed into the field. Not for her, but for Hilde's drain fodder.

"Help…" Marwin croaked, his formerly muscular body as a minotaur now a husk.

The other knights were in the same state.

"What's the matter with you three? You were so energetic a while ago!" Hilde threw her hands in the air out of exasperation.

"Hehe~ What's wrong, Hilde?" Kanae sneered, still brimming with full mana. "Ate too fast, but you're still hungry?"

"Don't screw with me! Those two must have been taking mana potions— ugh…!" She put a hand to her head, likely dizzy due to a deficiency in mana.

The healers pulled Hilde's victims away to administer healing magic and potions to restore their mana. With no one left to drain, she reached her limit. The four knights who were under the effect of her Bond snapped to consciousness with a start.

"Holy crap… I never want to be horny ever again…"

"I think I need to see a doctor about my dick…"

Unfortunately for Kanae's bonded fellows, all four were delirious and lying in a twitching pile.

"Uugu… I can't… stop cumming…" Arenade mumbled.

"I'm seeing the light… acorns everywhere… is this the end?" Edina asked in a state of partial consciousness.

"This means we proved Marwin's theory correct, right?" Kanae ended the effects of Bond on them so they could speak.

One by one they sat up, returning to consciousness but still lightheaded from edging for half the day.

"I believe… so." Eliza nodded, picking herself up but struggling to stand on shaky legs. "Then our means of fighting Ambrosia and Labelle will be a war of attrition?"

Esta agreed. "Kanae shall face the Queen-Mother succubi, Edina will raise an undead army to fend off the dwarven automatons and both forces, and you can leave Lady Dahlia to me."

"Sounds good… Can we take a break first? Because I— aahhh! Titan, we're done! Stop!" Kanae cried as the giant languisteed punched the entrance to her womb with his massive cock.

The experiment was over, but Titan had his dick in Kanae's pussy and didn't care.
