The Hero Became a Succubus, and the Only Way to Level is to… What?!

Research into the Cult of Lust and Depravity yielded nothing. After returning from the sunken temple, Kanae asked Lani for help in flipping through Chappy's pages in exchange for getting railed by his tentacles. They spent an entire day and found little regarding the cult or its worshippers.

"I… I can't," Lani mumbled face down in a pile of books. "Another minute… nngh… and I won't be able to… think straight anymore…"

Chappy retracted all of his tentacles at last. Kanae slumped down into her seat and sighed. Her body was sore from being so roughly handled all night. To make it worse, Drain was useless during sex with Chappy and Lani on account of living grimoires' mana-sapping nature.

"Sorry, ladies. It was good for me though! This cult you're looking for, I've never heard of it. Not once in my millennias of life. Since their target of worship is Satine the Lustful, they can't be anything but baaaaaad," Chappy emphasized.

Kanae picked herself up to start getting dressed. "A cult dedicated to a devil can't be good. The devils we dealt with up until now didn't really have any followers. Ortesia, though… If Saint Rue was actually a member of this cult, I'm having a hard time figuring out why the Empire of Prudes wants to ressurrect him."

"It's possible they don't know. I would have loved to access the Illuminant Repository. I'm sure we could find something in there," Lani moped.

Unfortunately, Aidenhall wanted nothing to do with this war.

Kanae left in search of Lapis. It had been a while since they last talked. She asked a passing Sister of Sin, who explained that the dwarven automaton could be found at the Eminence church. As it turned out, Lapis was there and in the middle of helping to feed refugees displaced from their villages with other Sisters.

"For an automaton, you sure have a lot of heart." Kanae smiled.

"Hehe. You think so? Maybe it's actually selfish, but I have this warm feeling in my chest whenever I help people. I keep chasing that sensation since it feels nice," Lapis said while handing out bowls of gruel to the downtrodden.

"If you're feeling it in your chest and not your groin, I'd say that's an improvement for someone who was designed to be a sex bot! Anyway, do you have a moment? I want to talk to you about something." She gestured off to the side and signalled for a Sister to take over for Lapis.

They walked out of earshot from the Eminence clergy and refugees. Lapis moved with a lot more confidence and joy lately. Before, she used to sulk over having been 'created'. For Lapis to be able to find purpose in life beyond her original design was a testament to her own strength.

"You know, when Lilith explained to me what a war was, it never really made sense of me. Why would people hurt each other? It's causing so much needless suffering. These people lost their homes! Earlier today, a little girl cried when I gave her some food. Apparently, she and her family hadn't eaten for days during their journey to Ehmvier. Kanae, if there's anything I can do to help speed up the end of this war, don't hesitate to use me!" Lapis insisted passionately.

"I'll keep that in mind. For now, just keep doing what you're doing. These refugees need someone with a big smile like yours to remind them everything is going to be okay," Kanae said.

"Right! Leave it to me! So, what was it that you wanted to ask me about?"

Kanae gave Lapis the shortened explanation about the sunken temple and it's relation to the dwarves, Ortesia, and the devil Satine. She listened intently, eager to help in any way after her proclamation. However, Lapis began to understand less with every word.

"It… doesn't look like you're following." Kanae frowned.

"I understand that my creators were a horny bunch, but nothing in my memories recall any allegiances to a devil. Remember, I only became conscious when you activated me in Ha'Vavish. If you ask me though, I think it's entirely possible that dwarves had aligned themselves with the devil of lust. They made me after all!" Lapis pointed to herself in an amused manner.

Damn dwarves… What were they thinking? There was still the mystery of the 'dwarven engine' under the sunken temple. Kanae and her companions weren't able to locate it, but the machine must be down there somewhere. Letters from that room suggested they were powered by sexual energy, almost as if the entire thing was a living succubus.

The coffin, too. If the body of Saint Rue was inside that portal or artificial Rift, what use was there for a coffin? Unless that was a distraction? Kanae had half a mind to go back with Lapis to render the barriers obsolete with her anti-magic meisterium core, but something… something like an itch at the back of her mind told her that was a bad idea.

Right then, Lilith and a couple of succubus entered the church. They looked out of breath. The First Sister locked eyes with Kanae and pushed past refugees to meet with her.

"Mistress, we've located a Rift!" Lilith exclaimed.

"Really? Where?!" Kanae grabbed her by the shoulders.

"It appeared in Tuchak, an abandoned village currently occupied by high elves. My Sisters and I tried to secure the Rift, but the Ortesian forces were too strong," she said.

Tuchak was a potato farm not too far from Ehmvier, but Kanae cursed her luck. Esta had gone north to scout suspicious movements made by Rotandrix dragoons, and Minestra and Manabe went south to meet up with Zadris to assess defenses along the border. That left Lani, Edina, and Gretchen behind as the only heavy hitters in the city, and she didn't want to pull too many people away in case of a siege.

"Good work, Lilith. Leave the rest to me." Kanae went for the door when Lilith and Lapis intercepted her.

"I want to help!" they implored at the same time.

"No, stay!" She barked them down. "Each of you has an important role in the city, and these people need you."

Both of them relented. Kanae gathered Lani and Edina to the foot of the castle and gave them a run down on what was going on.

"Perfect timing. I Corpsestitched a couple of working cocks to my death knights. Time to fuck the lights outta this elves!" Edina smashed a fist into her palm and grinned.

"I feel like I'm on the wrong side of the war…" Lani groaned into her hand.

"Kanae!" Mitty came running up to them with Aisha following close behind. "We're coming with you."

"How did you even find out? It was barely 20 minutes ago!" Kanae exclaimed.

"Heard through the grapevine, that being Lilith. Besides, you need us. You don't know what a Dragon's tongue looks like, and Mitty's got the magic hands to grab the herb without killing it," Aisha explained.

They had a fair point… but Rifts were dangerous, and neither of them would be able to hold their own if they ran into high elves during the trials. A chance like this didn't come often, Kanae was just going to have to be extra careful with the two.

"Alright, fine. But stay out of the fighting as much as possible. If you two bite the dust it won't matter if I win this war, Moira will strangle me in my sleep!" Kanae complained, and that probably wasn't an exaggeration.

The five of them traveled to the stables to get Mitty and Aisha a mount. Kanae threw open the door to Titan's pen. The massive languisteed sprung an erection and nuzzled into her chest.

"Not now, Titan! Put that away!" Kanae scolded. She whistled for stablehands to saddle the languisteed, then helped Mitty and Aisha onto him.

They stormed out of the city for Tuchak. It was the middle of the day, so the high elves were going to see them coming. An hour into the journey, they were beginning to see abandoned and destroyed wagons. Rotting fruits and vegetables littered the road. Like countless other villages in the Commonwealth, Kanae regretted not being able to help them all.

A signpost in a fork showed Tuchak due northwest. A patrolling high elven pair was munching on apples when they saw them coming.

"It's the demon queen!" One of them shot a fiery spell into the sky.

"So much for taking them by surprise!" Edina dropped Legion of the Dead on top of the two before they had a chance to defend themselves.

"No use complaining now. Get to the village!" Kanae shouted.

Upon reaching Tuchak, they were confronted by a small army of Ortesian infantry falling into formation. Rotandrix dragoons stood in the front, and clerics and mages readied spells from the back.

"Heed my call, death knights! Arise and come to your master's aid!" Edina bellowed, letting an eerie fog pour from her Pillar of the damned to creep across the village.

Four hulking death knights and Cantu emerged from abyssal portals. They had two pairs of thick, beefy arms, but most surprising of all… Throbbing between their legs were fully erect penises that made the Ortesian force take a step back.

"D-Don't waver! Stand your ground!" an officer boomed.

"Are those… gorag parts you attached to your death knights?" Kanae gasped.

"Good eye, Kanae. I expected nothing from a slut like you. That's right. I Corpsestitched gorag body parts onto my death knights. Forward! Fuck these high elves into submission!" Edina ordered.

"Uoooooggghh! High elf pussy!" Cantu charged ahead first.

Thrown into disarray, the Ortesian formation shattered in an instant. Edina's death knights pummeled enemy soldiers away, and picked up and fucked the ones who were barely conscious.

"No, no!" a female knight cried. "I'm saving my virginity for my husba— aaaaahhh!"

"It's so big… I-I'm… losing my mind… guuh…!" Another, who was pinned to the ground, was being mating pressed by a death knight.

"Wha-wha-what are you doing?! These are war crimes!" Lani panicked.

"The empire wants to indescriminately murderize us, but boning them is a no-go for you? Get a grip, warlock! I haven't shown you my greatest monstrosity yet. Come, Patches!" Edina slammed the base of her staff into the ground, causing the ground to shake and fissure.

A portal ripped open behind the Ortesian clerics and mages, and out came a giant, shambling flesh creature made entirely of body parts, some recognizable and most indescernible. Four gorag arms wielded a sword each, and a fifth coming out from its neck wielded a warhammer. It stood on two muscular legs that must have belonged to minotaurs. However, the most surprisingly of all… swinging between its thighs were three dicks, belonging to a languisteed, a minotaur, and… something full of warts and meaty spikes Kanae hadn't had the pleasure of being fucked by yet.

"WHAT IS THAT?!" Kanae and Lani screamed.

"Oh, that's the penis of a pentosceros," Edina explained as a matter of factly.

"I meant the monstrosity!" Lani exclaimed.

"You meant the monstrosity, I know Kanae wanted to know about the dick," she said.

"I-I most certaintly did mean the monstrosity…" Kanae interjected as drool slipped from the corners of her lips.

They spotted the Rift portal inside an open barn. A few of the more well-equipped Ortesian knights were defending it from advancing undead.

"Tch. Rally on the portal! We must defend it until Lady and Lord Alton completes the trials!" one of the knights shouted.

Alton? The name tickled Kanae's mind. Where had she heard that name before? Alton… Alton… Lynn Alton, the witch from the Rift that Kanae had encountered years ago!

"Edina, stay here and secure the Rift in case of reinforcements. Lani, with me! Titan, run them down!" Kanae yelled.

"You guys get all the fun? Fine, okay! I'll have my own fun and crack some nuts then." Edina licked her lips while stradling the hips of a pantsless, terrified elven man.

Rushing Ortesians were too slow to back up the knight pair. Titan bodied the two of them into the portal, then slipped inside along with Mitty and Aisha. Lani jumped in, followed Kanae right after. Darkness enveloped her. She was weightless. Directions meant nothing in this realm of in-between. This was a Rift, not like the one they entered within the sunken temple.

Kanae landed in such a long corridor that it stretched out of sight. Countless doors spaced a few meters from the next lined the wall to either side of her.

"Welcome, ye brave champion! I am Marrowyn, and… What's this? A succubus, in my Rift! Now ain't ye a feast for the eyes, lassie. You might just complete my trial. If not, well… another treat added to my collection, ho-ho!" The sing-songy voice echoed from down the hall yet also from everywhere at once.

"I recognize you. You're the dwarven demigod! I have a lot of questions for you," Kanae said.

"Too bad yer questions'll hafta wait. I'm in need of entertainment. Haven't seen a succubus 'round here for centuries. I figured if I plop one down close to yer people, one of 'em will come sniffing. My trials await! Behind each door is someone or something in need of some… shall we say relief? Satisfy them, and you will be awarded a stone token. Acquire five tokens in order to open the way to the second trial. Take your pick, succubus, and enjoy!"

Sex. Of course, a dwarven demigod's trial involved sex. Well, if Kanae was in his position as a succubus demigoddess, she would probably have created a similar trial.

"I just needed to get it on with five things. How hard can that be?" Kanae opened the closest door and was greeted by a giant, roaring blue dragon on a mountain nest. Her pussy pulsed with pleasure, recalling the last time she had sex with a beast like that. She regrettably shut the door.

Without a potion to increase her size, there was no way taking a dick like that would work. Unless…

Kanae opened the door again and entered. She emerged onto a mountain crater matted with twigs and bones. When she glanced back, the door simply existed without being attached to any castle or wall. Just the door. The dragon cautiously watched her approach, its two dicks throbbing as she drew closer.

"Easy… I can't let you fuck me, but I can certainly lick you. Or use my boobs. They aren't as big as Arenade's, but I'm sure I can pleasure you with them." Kanae made sure to switch off Flashbang before undressing.

The dragon flopped over onto its side, seemingly eager to find sexual relief. Kanae squeezed one dick between her breasts and sucked on the tip of the second. This wasn't anything new. She had done this to the dragon that attacked Orturic and earned her the infamous title, Streaking Dragonslayer. The combined strength of Blowjob Proficiency and Boobjob Proficiency brought the dragon to a never before experienced ecstasy. He let out a deep roar into the sky as thick seed shot up like geysers.

"There you go," Kanae cooed. "You like that? You like how soft my boobs are when they massage your big, strong dicks?"

Lubricated by jizz, she was able to speed up rubbing her tits up and down the length of the dragon's cock. The other looked a little lonely, and her tongue wasn't enough anymore. Unlike with the other dragon, however, she had a tail that could form a pussy now. Dragon dick was still too big, but Kanae was able to envelop the tip and suckle on it. Soon, high-pressure spunk spurted out and filled her tail in a split second.

The dragon reared its head back and moaned aloud before falling into a deep slumber. Something shined and took shape in front of her. A square token fell into the palm of her hand. This must be the token Marrowyn was talking about. Kanae pressed a free hand to her stomach. Since the tail was connected to her womb, she was feeling rather full down there. 

"I might not get another chance like this again. Dragons aren't exactly common either…" Kanae swallowed her hesitation and switched on Versatile Womb.

Minutes went by, and her belly swelled in size. Her breasts did, too, in anticipation of an inevitable. Pressure built from all sides. Although Kanae should be experiencing the pains of childrearing, the magic of her succubus body brought her pleasure akin to an orgasm. She laid on the ground and spread her legs.

Something began to crown. It wasn't a dragon. Not yet anyway. The rigged shell of a dragon egg poked out. Kanae pushed until the egg popped out onto the cum-soaked ground, where it continued to grow in size. A vertical crack ran down the middle, and the snout punched a hole through the shell first.

"Come on, baby! You can do it!" Kanae encouraged the dragon whelp.

Piece by piece, the shell crumbled to the ground until a blue dragon the size of a dog squawked instead of roared. Kanae was about to hug the dragon until another pressure built inside her womb. Shit. She had forgotten to turn off Versatile Womb after the first birth, now another was coming. The baby dragon waddled around her as she birthed its sibling in the form of a second egg.

Kanae made sure to switch off Versatile Womb this time, but now she had two baby blue dragons.

"Well… It wasn't my intention to birth dragons, but here we are…" Kanae muttered, wiping the sweat from her face.
