Chapter 308 – The Dragon
The sun was beginning to set. Nocturnal denizens of Lograin emerged from their slumber. Even from the religious ward, the buzz of Carnal District's nightlife could be heard. But for the more pious, they set out to the many churches and temples in search of absolution, guidance, and more. Kanae and the formerly loyal daughters of Queen-Mother Zariah had other plans.
When they returned to the church of the Eminence of Sin, it was business as usual for the succubi clergy. Each of the confessional booths were occupied. The banging and knocking was evidenced that sinners were enthusiastically confessing their sins. Those less inclined to the touch of pleasure and sought the comfort of a higher power, prayed alongside a Sister of Sin at the pews.
"Queen Kanae!" High Priestess Eldora descended from the pulpit to meet them. "I thought you were going to be staying at Dead Man's Gamble?"
"Change of plans. I wanted to lay with my sweet disciples. Will you be a good girl and tell any available Sisters?" Kanae asked, lifting Eldora's face by her chin.
"Y-Yes, my queen." She resisted swooning and hurried into the back.
"This is great and all, but is there anyone in your retinue that can hurt me?" Claudia asked suddenly.
The rest of them turned to the Mistress of Pain.
"Claudia, I think there's only two people in this city that can hurt you. One of them wants to kill you, and the other is already here," Kanae explained.
"Ugh. Fine. I guess I'll have to settle on dishing out the hurt this time. I'm a bigger masochist than I am a sadist. There's no fun without reciprocation, Kanae!" Claudia folded her arms, appearing like a severely disappointed customer.
"Come on, we'll take a bath while Eldora gets ready," she insisted and led the way into the church.
Claudia, Hilde, and Alicia stared in awe as Kanae guided them down the corridors. Years ago during Bardell and the Outriders' attack, they had vandalized much of the interior. That damage had since been renovated. Not a speck of it was left. The crystal-lit halls illuminated their way. Sisters of Sin going about their business stepped aside and bowed as they passed.
It filled Kanae with pride and accomplishment for the trio to take in the sights so positively. Alicia though, her reaction was a lot more subdued.
They reached the bath at last. A foyer served as a changing room with fresh towels awaiting them. Kanae called for a Sister of Sin to bring them wine, and she hurried off to do just that. The four of them stripped down to their birthday suits, and Kanae couldn't help but be captivated by Alicia's form. While not the most well-endowed, her arms and legs were very shapely, likely tempered by the dextrous nature of being crowned a melee class.
On the other hand, Claudia was the tallest of them and boasted a toned body. Her six-pack abs were a sight to behold, too. The blonde pigtails finally came down, draping down her back like a cascading waterfall. Then there was Hilde, who was the first Queen-Mother daughter Kanae had the pleasure of sleeping with. Their figure was the most similar to each other, but the similarities ended at the bust.
Alicia caught Kanae staring and flashed a soft smirk. Embarrassed, she snapped forward to lead them into the bath.
Like everything Arenade got her gilded hands on, a touch of extravagance always followed. Hilde stopped in front of a statue of Kanae squirting water from between her legs.
"Ah. Of course. To be showered by the Knight-Commander's waterworks." Hilde sneered.
"Regular standing statues are boring." Kanae shrugged.
Claudia ran past them and cannonballed into the pool, splashing up a tsunami of water. She resurfaced on her back with a look of bliss.
"You get to fuck, bathe, and eat good food? We only had one of those for years," Claudia said.
"I don't think I've ever asked, but I did have my suspicions. Where did you all live before attacking us?" Kanae asked.
They hesitated to answer. It was probably instincts from when they used to be loyal to their mother.
"Underground." Claudia swam up to the edge of the pool.
"Sister, the Queen-Mother wouldn't want us revealing where we had laid hidden," Hilde warned.
"It's fine." She waved a dismissive hand. "We fight for the Commonwealth now. Our people are living on the surface again in Temptation, too. Besides, I don't love Mother or Ambrosia anymore for what they did to Alicia. It was a giant dwarven city that we lived in for most of our lives, right underneath No Man's Land. Probably bigger than any of the ones you've visited so far, Kanae."
"Do any of you ever get homesick?" Kanae asked.
The former Mistress of Pain scoffed. "Of that stuffy old place? No way. Anyone who's strong is on the surface. Ever since I got here, three different people have managed to hurt me! How great is that? Also, I can do this!"
Claudia backstroked farther into the pool until she reached Kanae's statue, allowing herself to be waterboarded by the gushing stream from its crotch.
"We have you to thank for the wonderful gift of freedom." Alicia nudged Kanae just enough that she toppled into the water, then dove in after.
The Sister of Sin came back with glasses and a bottle of wine from Arenade's collection to serve them. They bathed until their fingers began to prune up. Feeling tipsy from the wine, the four finally emerged from the baths to meet Eldora in the High Priestess' chamber.
Two dozen half-succubi awaited them, all dressed in the Eminence of Sin vestments that was one undone knot away from slipping down to their ankles. Behind them, a large bed was ready for the orgy.
"Hoh? Not a single man nor dire beast? I would have liked some variety." Disappointed, Hilde rested a hand against her cheek.
"Don't complain about a free meal, Hilde. Well? Which of you can handle the most pain?" Claudia spared a long gander at the selection, brandishing both her crop whip and paddle.
The two of them walked ahead and grabbed a group of partners. Kanae was about to join them until someone embraced her from behind. An electrifying ripple of pleasure spread across her body. Alicia cupped her breast with one hand and fingered her with the other.
"Where do you think you're going?" Alicia asked breathily.
"Nowhere now," Kanae said.
Alicia turned Kanae around and kissed her. Supple yet firm lips pressed with a kind tenderness. The warmth of their bodies united, and their tails coiled together like mating snakes. When Kanae parted to get a glimpse of Alicia, the rogue pulled her back in for another kiss. A tongue followed suit, pushing into her mouth.
Slowly, one foot over the next, Alicia walked Kanae into the bed. She fell backwards and gazed up at the blood red demon woman. It was no wonder Claudia was in love with her own sister. Alicia was strikingly beautiful. As the succubus crawled into bed, her long black hair draped over Kanae's own.
Instead of reuniting their lips, Alicia dropped down to Kanae's clit and kissed it instead. She arched her back from the intense pleasure.
"Oh, my god…" Kanae gasped.
Plunk!
It was the sound of a cork popping off from a vial. Kanae glanced down to find Alicia pouring a viscous liquid on her tongue.
"What are you doing?" Kanae asked.
"Poisons and toxins aren't my only speciality." Tongue drenched, Alicia licked Kanae's clit again.
A scalding hot sensation burned like the surface of the sun. The pleasure that came with it was indescribable. Kanae pinched the bedsheets and howled as if she was in heat. Two caressing hands stroked her inner thighs. The light touches ignited her nerves.
"Holy crap… I don't think I've ever had cunnilingus this good before… I'm… I'm going to cum!" Kanae's hands found purchase on the crown-like horns.
Alicia lapped with a ferocity that couldn't be matched by anyone. Kanae heaved after every breath. A powerful tingle which refused to subside shot up and down her spine.
Meanwhile, Claudia, Hilde, and the Sisters of Sin were enjoying themselves in the orgy. The moans of many succubi filled the bedchamber. Their breaths and body heat made the air stuffy. Sweat dripped down their warm skins, soaking the very bed in a mixture of juices.
As Kanae was coming down from the orgasm, Alicia appeared above her. They wrapped their arms around each other and rolled to a more spacious part of the bed for a little privacy.
"Even with Claudia and Hilde by my side, I sometimes awaken in cold sweat. Nightmares of being trapped in that sunken temple haunt me every now and then. I confess that… I'm afraid. What if this pleasure and freedom is but a figment of my imagination, forged from Ambrosia's hypnotic magic? I shudder to think," Alicia whimpered, hiding her face in the pocket of Kanae's neck.
"I won't let that happen," Kanae said.
"Can you truly, genuinely promise that?" she asked.
Kanae nodded, her resolve stronger than adamantine and felmetal combined.
"We're both tagged by the Enchanted Ink, too." Kanae pointed to their vulgar tattoos that called them 'whores' and 'sluts'.
"Ah, yes." Alicia sighed with amusement. "I suppose that links us together in a way, doesn't it?"
"You're the Vice-Captain of Amethyst Hall now. As your superior officer, I don't plan on letting you go so easily," she promised.
They looked into each others' eyes for a moment longer until something inside Alicia clicked in place.
"Knight-Commander— No. Kanae, give it to me." Alicia sat up on Kanae's waist.
As soon as Kanae activated Futanari, her dick emerged and grew erect straight into Alicia's waiting pussy. The hot flesh of the succubus' body squeezed tightly. Kanae was already on the verge of climaxing.
"Nngh… I see you're wearing the Cock Ring of Hardening…" Alicia winced.
"Oh, crap. I forgot I still had it on!" Kanae panicked.
"No matter," she said and began to rock her hips. "What kind of succubus would I be if I can't take it?"
Kanae watched from below as Alicia's breasts bounced. Their fingers intertwined on one hand. They clasped tightly. Her other hand went to Kanae's throat, but there was restraint in the hold. The massive cock, empowered by an enchanted item, slammed into her pussy with incredible force.
Soon, Alicia's eyes rolled to the back of her head. That aphrodisiac liquid-laden tongue lolled out. It was an unbecoming look for a succubus normally so composed and stone-faced. Kanae committed that sight to memory, then started thrusting to meet her irregular bounces.
"Kanae… I'm close! Your dick may very well split me open… All that you have, that you can muster… give it to me!" Alicia pleaded sweetly.
"Here it comes!" Kanae exclaimed, ejecting a massive load into Alicia's twitching pussy.
They climaxed together. Their lips reunited. Fireworks went off in their heads. Kanae continued to cum inside Alicia, whose trembling body had been made a mess of.
[Congratulations! You are now level 259!]
[Skill Drain has temporarily acquired the skill Magical Stealth.
Magical Stealth: Turn yourself and up to one other invisible. The effect and duration continues at the cost of mana. Other than magic, you cannot be detected by normal means. Footprints are no longer left behind, your scent can't be smelled, and neither will your equipment make sound. Toggle On/Off.]
"Nifty… Huh? Since when did you use Magical Stealth on me? It has to be a skill I've seen or been affected by," Kanae said.
"Well, I wanted to be a little greedy." Alicia shot a look to the others in bed, who looked like they were searching for them.
"I just heard Alicia taking a pounding from Kanae! Where did they go? Damn it, Kanae! Fuck me, too!" Claudia pouted.
Kanae and Alicia giggled quietly to themselves.
In the morning, after a night long orgy, members of the Amethyst Hall gathered outside of the Eminence of Sin church. Kanae had obtained quite the number of temporary skills and spells from Skill Drain. [Reflective Ward], [Wall of Fire], [True Shot], [Project Agony] again from Claudia because she likes that skill so much, and [Second Wind]. These abilities were going to wear off by tomorrow. [Coat of Conflagration], which she obtained from Titan earlier than those, would only last until the late afternoon.
[Feed the Queen] had given her several permanent skills and spells thanks to a few eager Sisters of Sin last night. [Hailstorm], [Conjured Caltrops], and [Flash Heal] should be very useful. Not to mention…

Having sex with Alicia for sure only raised Kanae from level 255 to 259. [Feed the Queen] must have pushed her over the edge to level 260.
Aisha went around handing everyone a batch of vials. They were mostly healing potions and elixirs of Greater Fire Resistance. The hobgoblin pushed a much different-looking vial from the rest into Kanae's palm and gave a knowing nod. That last one was the Potion of Gigantism.
Sweet.
"Alright. Let's not keep the dragon waiting. Er… Where's Thume?" Kanae asked, searching the crowd for an ogre.
Everyone shrugged.
Sighing, Kanae had them wait outside of the city while she went to fetch Thume at the brothel, Giant's Den. A heavy musk wafted from the building even though she hadn't opened the door yet. She hoped nothing went wrong.
Kanae knocked a few times and waited. Heavy footfalls approached the door. When it swung open, she was taken aback by the sight of Tanya the draph proprietress of the brothel getting reamed from behind by Thume. Numerous other prostitutes of large stature were lying unconscious on the ground behind them. It stank fiercely of sweat and semen.
"H-Hello, Kanae… I… I seem to have underestimated… the libido and sexual potency of… an ogre… Might need to… charge ya extra…" Tanya said while in the middle of taking a pounding.
"Great." Kanae sighed. "You can ask High Priestess Eldora at my church. Thume, haven't you had enough yet? We have a dragon to fight!"
"But Thume still horny! Uurrr!" Thume slammed his hips one final time into Tanya, shooting a fat load into her already bursting womb.
Once finished, the ogre let her go. Tanya dropped to the ground and landed on a pool of cum. Thume's cock was still hard and raring to go, and Kanae swallowed hard at the sight of it.
"I'll let you fuck me later, but only after we've dealt with the dragon. Come on!" Kanae hurried the ogre.
The two traveled to the north exit of Lograin, where the others were waiting. Getting to the mountains took most of the morning. Since Aisha, Tess, and Thume couldn't fly, Edina summoned her undead dragon to fly them.
A massive excavation was underway by the time they arrived. Undead grunts Kanae didn't recall seeing previously were digging and carting debris out of the way. Death Knight Cantu waved to them from above, seemingly directing the undead as a sort of supervisor. Kanae turned to the only culprit.
"What? There are dead dragon bones practically begging to be raised. It's free real estate. If I knew this many undead dragons were up here, I'd have dug 'em all up sooner!" Edina exclaimed.
"Exactly how many can you raise anyway?" Kanae asked.
"The Soul Cairns give me a boost to my mana pool. I only have a few up, but I'm getting close to matching the Pillar of the Damned's original strength before getting ass-blasted by Lapis." She whispered an incantation that caused the purple flames from her staff's brazier to billow smoke onto the dragon bones.
Before long, a second undead dragon joined the necromancer's ranks. Its bones weathered from the elements and age were reinforced with dark, necromantic magic. Purple energies connected the joints together. Its empty eye sockets now glowed like red rubies.
"I still haven't forgiven you for killing my dragons." Hilde huffed.
"Hey, we were enemies back then! Can you blame me? We're pals now!" Edina patted her on the back and grinned.
The necromancer wasn't satisfied until she raised a third, at which point they agreed that this was about as strong as their firepower became. Since Petyr and Edina saw where the dragon had flown yesterday, the pair led Amethyst Hall around the jagged mountains .
There, they found what appeared to be a large opening tucked away in the cliffside and inaccessible by foot. Amethyst Hall landed at the enormous mouth of the cave. The beefiest of the group, Petyr and Claudia entered first. Everyone else followed close behind.
It was so large, their footfalls echoed with every step. Animal and monster bones littered the ground up to the walls. Something deeper within breathed heavily. Petyr lifted a hand for them to stop, and they did.
"The dragon. We're close," Petyr said, drawing her hammer from its sling.
"Tiny little morsels have entered my abode? Are they meals or intruders, I wonder?" A deep, menacing voice rumbled.
Petyr growled. She lifted the hammer up and infused it with bright light. As the darkness washed away, it revealed a gargantuan dragon the size of a mountain lying on his folded forearms. Magnificent wings were folded neatly on his back. Brilliant, untarnished gold scales covered the length of his body, from the head down to the tip of the tail. With one flick of its massive and meaty tail, the earth shuddered, threatening a cave-in.
"Which are you?" the dragon lowered his giant head down to them.
"Uhh… I heard you were interested in… conversation?" Kanae asked, thinking they might not have brought enough manpower.
