*Author's Note: So there's a continuity issue. In a past chapter Kanae gained the "Dispel" skill, which stipulated that she needed a staff, wand, or talisman in order to cast it. Going forward, Kanae will be using slimes (due to latent magic from their slime cores) to cast Dispel with it until she addresses it permanently in a later chapter.
Thank you! Sorry for the break in immersion!
Chapter 99
"It looks like a small outpost," Will began, pointing to an area between a creek and a break in the forest. "All they have are two watchtowers and a couple of poorly-maintained huts. Twenty fighters and five archers at best."
"We need that fresh water source. Bring Taileen and Erin with you. Demand that they surrender. If they refuse, let the twins have at them," Kanae ordered.
The paladin nodded, but he hesitated to leave the tent.
"Can I have a moment with you? Privately?" he asked.
Kanae and Will stepped away from the war council until they were out of earshot. As the final battle drew nearer, concerns among their people had risen. If they defeated Talon, an even greater threat loomed on the horizon. Many were understandably anxious.
"What's the matter?"
"It's about the Knights of Colors. You haven't said much upon your return from Lograin. I think I speak for everyone when I say your silence has us worried. This campaign isn't just to defeat Talon, is it? You're trying to gather a large enough force to face the order and Protectorates?" Will asked.
"Ehmvier alone isn't enough. We need to grow stronger. I need to grow stronger. But it's not the Order of the Knights of Colors and Protectorates you're worried about, right? It's me," Kanae said, surprising the paladin that she had seen right through his worries.
"You got me. If you overcome them, I fear you may not stop at no man's land," he explained.
At some point, it did cross Kanae's mind about subjugating the kingdom. It was a steep endeavor not inconceivable to someone like Will, whose sister, if she recalled, would one day take over as Grand Eye. Of course, he was worried.
"Will, we've been together for how long now?" Kanae threw both arms behind his neck, taking pleasure in seeing him squirm. "I might be a demon succubus, but I'm not unreasonable. If it ever comes to the Grand Eye, you can at least be sure I'll try politics before war. However they make their beds though, they better lie in it… Now can I have a kiss before you go?"
Will rolled his eyes and leaned in to kiss Kanae on the cheek instead.
"If your assurance is enough for me, then that has to be enough for you. I'll continue fighting for you as long as this is the Kanae I know and love." He smiled, then pulled away leaving Kanae pouting and red in the face.
The war council, who had been stealing glances at them, snapped their gazes back to the map and reports on the table. They were made up of representatives from subjugated and surrendered tribes and from Kanae's own inner circle.
"Everyone has their orders. You're all dismissed," Kanae said.
Edina was the only one to remain. When the others had gone, they exited the tent together and flew high above their base camp established outside of Talahurah.
Hundreds of meters across the yellow and green tundra lay the city of beastmen. The gargantuan tree was the most distinguishable centerpiece of Talahurah, if not out of place. From here, they could see airborne beastmen weaving through its branches over the city in an orderly swarm, likely on a lookout in case Kanae's forces were to attack.
Talahurah itself wasn't as impressive as Lograin. There weren't walls or fortifications, no siege weapons in place on the ramparts, and neither were streets paved in cobblestone with giant monuments of gods at every corner. It was simply a sprawling city of woodland communities, cabins, and tents.
"What do you think?" Kanae asked her companion.
"Either Talon's stupid or strong enough not to be bothered. Not a single force camped out in case we charge in? I say you let me send a Legion of the Dead and see how they respond," Edina suggested.
Kanae gave Edina the okay, and the necromancer summoned an undead army to march across the field. They were modest in levels between 40-60 since her skill created undeads at the highest 20 levels below her own. The only exception was Raise Dead, which gives her control of a corpse of any level for a short period of time.
Legion of the Dead, despite the lower levels, made up for in great numbers and had saved them many times before.
A sudden blur blew through the entire army, followed by a powerful gale that knocked down anything else that remained standing. The one who decimated Edina's Legion of the Dead was none other than Talon, the black harpy and chieftain of Talahurah.
"Uh, shit. Well, I guess that's why she isn't scared." Edina shuddered.
"It looks like she wants to talk," Kanae said, noting that Talon remained in flight and watched them intently.
"Aww, man… Why did it have to be a mean harpy of all things?" she groaned.
"What's got you scared all of a sudden?"
"Doesn't matter if I'm a succubus. I'm still a squirreling and that harpy's got the eyes of a predator who wants to make a meal out of me!"
They flew against their better judgment to meet with Talon. The plumage of her beating wings were a brilliant obsidian that had a hue of dark blue. She wore no clothing or any sort of decorative tribal accessories. Instead her body was covered in a light gray of soft fur or feathers, smattered with red warpaint.
"H-Hello… big scary bird woman…" Edina greeted through chattering teeth.
Talon smirked. "Ya gone and did a number on my smaller tribes. Made an obedient kitten outta that Sheeba. Honestly, I'm impressed. But this is the end of the line. Ya come ta my roost and pick a fight with me? Ya gonna get one. After I'm done with ya, I'm coming for ya village and taking no man's land for myself."
"You're confident for someone who doesn't have the backing of her own people. I have a swarm of succubus. When the battle starts, we'll just take control of you. I can even take control of you now," Kanae threatened, but the harpy was unfazed.
"Sorry ta disappoint, but Minestra wants me ta win and gave me a little trump card. I'll see ya on the battlefield tomorrow in the afternoon," she said.
Both sides returned to their respective domains, but it was Kanae who became the most troubled over the meeting. Trump card? What could Minestra have possibly given Talon?
Edina turned in early, and Kanae headed back to her tent to get some rest. The eccentric lamia alchemist, Rosaline, was waiting inside.
"Rosaline? This better be good. I was hoping to get intimate with a couple of people before going to bed," Kanae said.
"Then you will be happy to hear I've concocted a few potions that might help you in battle!" Rosaline produced three vials which sat in a rack on the small table.
"Ack— The last time you gave me three potions wasn't exactly a fun time!"
"You say that, but can you recall any instances where my potions have failed you?"
Kanae opened her mouth to retort but was unable to, and she didn't want to admit it for fear of setting a precedent with Rosaline.
The alchemist continued, "At any rate, the effects of these potions are known. Elixir of Magic Dampening, Elixir of Ogre's Strength, and a mystery potion."
"So there was a mystery potion in there after all!" Kanae retorted, swallowing the urge to flip the table and vials with it. "Couldn't you have just made the spell potency one?
"Resources are limited out here, so one of my caliber and talents must improvise! I concocted it with a plant supposedly containing an odorless chemical to our noses, but which the harpy races are irresistibly attracted to. It supposedly puts them into heat by triggering the urge to breed. I can't be too sure of the effects, but I imagine rendering her in such a state may help you," she said.
Kanae was doubtful. Taking Rosaline's words at face value was dangerous, not because she couldn't be trusted, but because she was too much of a wildcard.
When Rosaline had gone, she was replaced with Tabitha and Meidina walking Sheeba in on a leash.
"Come here, girl." Kanae knelt down to ruffle her mane of golden hair, then turned to the succubi. "What skills did you gain from her?"
"I have gained Sheeba's Bestial Strength," Tabitha said.
"And I her Lion's Pride," Meidina added. "Unfortunately, Beastman's Constitution is a racial skill specific to beastmen races and cannot be obtained."
Good enough.
Kanae spent the rest of the night laying with the three of them. Their bodies and tails entwined in a tangle of depraved pleasure that must have left others outside wanting. Feed the Queen granted her both skills her Sisters of Sin had stated, as well as leveled her up.
[Congratulations! You are now level 100!]
[The number of targets that can be affected by the skill Bond has increased to 3.]
[Feed the Queen has granted you new skills from your succubi!
Bestial Strength: Raise your STR up by one rank.
Lion's Pride: As long as you're standing, gain increased durability against physical and magical attacks.]
"Let's see how strong I am…" Kanae hopped off the bed and walked out into the cool of night. "Bestial Strength, Lion's Pride!"
Both spell buffs took effect. One more to go. Kanae let her gown slip to her feet, to activate Exhibitionist Spellcasting, then brushed a hand over the sigil.
Kanae Toyomi Lvl. 100
Race:
Demon
STR
C
Subrace:
Succubus
DEX
B
Class:
Seductress
INT
SS
The enchanted bracelet and Exhibitionist Spellcasting raised INT to SS-rank. Bestial Strength raised STR to C-rank, but once she drinks Rosaline's potion it should rise to B-rank. In addition to the increase in stats, her growing arsenal of skills and spells should come in clutch. Hopefully it would all be enough.
Kanae… Kanae!
Kanae groggily awakened to Noah shaking her awake.
"Nnh… Noah? Hehe~ Did you want to have sex with me first thing in the morning?" Kanae pulled Noah on top of her and locked both legs behind his struggling waist.
"K-Kanae, we don't have time for that! We're under attack!" Noah cried.
"Under… attack?" She opened her eyes in time to see a beastman warrior behind Noah, sharp claws poised to strike her dark elven husband down.
Kanae rolled them off the bed just as those claws shredded the linens. On the way down, she drew the crystalline sword from the bedside with her tail and parried a second swipe from their assailant. The female beastman snarled until Noah sent her flying out the tent with a fireblast.
"What do you mean we're under attack?!" Kanae gasped, still naked and confused. "Talon said we'd fight in the afternoon!"
"And you believed your enemy? What kind of commander are you?" Noah groaned.
"Ahhhh! How am I supposed to know? I've never waged war before. I thought I was doing well!"
Silhouettes rushed past outside the tent, magical explosions rocked the entire encampment, and the clash of metal were all proof that a battle was well underway. The smell of smoke was also heavy in the air.
Kanae jumped to her feet and quickly chugged the potions left on the nightstand. She chugged the potions given to her. Elixir of Ogre's Strength raised her STR to B-rank, and the Elixir of Magic Dampening reduced the potency of offensive spells inflicted on her. As for the third potion, she clutched it tightly.
"Er, Kanae? You're just going to walk out naked?" Noah asked.
"Of course, I am. Why wouldn't I?" Kanae forgoed putting on any clothes to maintain Exhibitionist Spellcasting, settling on just the collar, bracelet, and satchel of slime for casting Dispel. When she emerged with her fist clenched, a trio of lupine beastman stopped setting fire to the tents and went slack-jawed at the sight of her. "Hello, boys— Titanic Blow!"
Noah came out in time to witness the incredible display of strength from her skill, which was made stronger by rising two ranks in STR. The impact sent them crashing through multiple burning tents.
"Noah, find Will and rally whoever you can to mount a counteroffensive against this ambush!" Kanae ordered.
"What about you?"
She flew up to get a view of the battle transpiring all across the camp. Swarming harpies wrought destruction on unsuspecting lycanbolds from above. Stampeding centaurs barreled through tents like going through tissue paper. By the look of all the undeads, Edina had casted Legion of the Dead to combat the assault, but they were going to lose at this rate.
"We're going to lose if this battle drags out. I'm going to find Talon. It ends with either me or her defeated today!" Kanae soared higher in search of Talahurah's leader. She instead found Rosaline roaming about the battle, collecting belongings off the fallen and unconscious, enemy and allies alike. "Really…?"
"Kanae! Give me that juicy boost!" Edina shouted from below, engaged in a brawl against multiple beastmen.
Kanae rocketed down and casted Bond as soon as they high-fived.
The sudden boost in strength to every undead in the battlefield turned the tides on the beastmen before them. One undead, who had a femur clenched between the jaws of a lupine beastman, ripped it out of his mouth and beat him to a pulp with it.
"Thank The Many Noah got to you in time. Can you believe these bastards attacked while I was taking a piss? Scared the shit out of me!" Edina sighed.
"Hopefully you buried that… Where's Talon? We need to bring her down," Kanae said.
"Center of the camp. I think Lilith and Sheeba was there? The other Sisters of Sin are spread out everywhere. Lost track of 'em."
"Regroup with them and leave Talon to me."
"You got it, buddy! Sacrifice Undead!" Edina destroyed the undead in the immediate area to grant herself a suit of bone armor, then spread her wings to take flight in search of the others.
Kanae didn't waste time either, making headway towards the center of the camp. There, she found the black harpy, who was holding Lilith by the throat in one hand and pinning Sheeba underneath her talons.
"A little late to the party, ain't ya?" Talon flashed a taunting smirk.
"You lied about when we were going to fight!" Kanae pouted, glaring at the Talon and quietly casting Turn Horny.
It didn't take effect. Talon didn't so much as flinch or react.
"Ahaha! Ah~ah~ Ya just tried to cast a charm on me, didn't ya? Unfortunately, Minestra's gift, Demonic Boon, is a powerful spell buff that renders me unaffected by any of ya succubus magic. But by all means, keep trying!" Talon cackled.
That demon bitch…!
The harpy tossed Lilith aside. With a powerful beat of her wings, a strong gale blew away debris and tents. She launched at Kanae, who barely leapt aside to avoid getting struck by the sharp talons of her feet, then made a beeline directly to Lilith and Sheeba.
"Forgive me… Mistress…" Lilith croaked.
"It's not over yet. I need you two to hold her down," Kanae said, placing a hand on both of them and casting Bond.
The two climbed unsteadily to their feet just as Talon wheeled around.
"Help ain't changing a damn thing for ya!"
"Titanic Blow!" Kanae met Talon's claws head on, but the attack threw both of them back.
It was all Kanae needed. Lilith and Sheeba seized Talon by each arm, forcing her to her knees and preventing her from flying. Kanae cracked open the vial and splashed the contents of it on the harpy warlord's face.
"Argh! What did you…" Talon thrashed madly, throwing Lilith and Sheeba away. "This… This feels like…?"
The deed had already been done, and the effects of the potion were beginning to take effect. She shuddered in pleasure. Even her nipples were getting hard, now visible as they poked through the fur on her chest.
"That was courtesy of a troublesome alchemist. What's wrong? Feeling horny? I might not be able to magically turn you on, but a harpy like you can't fight against her natural sexual urges," Kanae taunted back now that she had the upper hand.
"Kuh… Too bad… you're not a male. I have no urge to seek sexual relief from you!" Talon grinned.
"Oh? I don't have to be a male. I just need something to tempt you." She activated Futanari and granted herself a penis for all to see.
Being watched by so many, including the enemy and her own army, triggered Kanae's exhibitionist tendencies. Their stares made her nipples hard and pussy drip with desire. Her penis, however, continued to grow erect until it was all that reflected in Talon's bitch-in-heat gaze.
"Come on, Talon~ Why fight when you and I can fuck to our heart's content instead?" Kanae asked, brandishing her sword at the harpy.
"Why… fight?" Talon, who had subconsciously crawled up to Kanae's penis, swallowed hard and expelled a hot, quivering breath.
