The Hero Became a Succubus, and the Only Way to Level is to… What?! Chapter 497 – On the Trail of a Simulacrum

Kanae and Mitty set off the next day after making so preparations in case their search took longer than a few nights. She hesitated to leave Alicia and Dawn behind, but the new mother assured her that everything would be fine. Especially since Edina was around to protect them. Elizabeth Bedlam volunteered to join, feeling responsible for the simulacrum's disappearance. With the sorceress around, they had in their possession a teleportation pellet to return at a mont's notice. Additionally, Kanae brought along a pack of four devil mutts to help sniff out the simulacrum.

They began at the scorched treeline where Kanae had initially given chase. Burnt leaves and bark crunched underneath their feet. It no longer slled of smoke and ash, but the fresh earthy scent of oak. And animal poop drying up in the sun.

Although Mitty wasn't a crowned Tracker, a class more suited to pursuing soone or sothing, Pathfinders possessed a set of skills that gave them a better edge. That being, the ability to see traveled paths. Pathfinders weren't just a rare and unique version of the Scout class, but also only available to certain races that tended to live in the wilderness. Goblins was one such race.

According to their Pathfinder, the tracks led west. While Kanae and Mitty rode on Titan, Eliza flew beside them upon her broom. The devil mutts effortlessly kept pace, running alongside them. Their brilliant dark red coat glistened under the canopy's speckled sunlight. These beasts were native to sowhere in Artaggon. During the Ortesian invasion, Minestra and Lady employed them in their fight against the empire. After the war, however, a not so insignificant number of devil mutts went unaccounted for in the Commonwealth. Adventurers questing in Varu reported that the demon beasts were thriving in the wasteland.

As a result, many denizens of the Commonwealth had begun taming devil mutts as pets for work and status. The ones joining Kanae now ca from a kennelmaster, who specifically trained them for hunting.

"Mitty, while I do not doubt your capacity as a Pathfinder, are you certain we won't need to travel more slowly? You won't risk mistaking them for hunters or vagrants?" Ahead of them, Eliza glanced behind and asked.

"Don't worry about ! I can distinguish between tracks. They emit different colors when I look at them!" Mitty replied confidently.

"Is that how you and Noah charted a way through the mountains?" Kanae asked.

"Kind of." He shook his head. "It isn't like we just found a nice road to go through. There are passages that things like yetis and native animals take that we can't, or just not feasible to roll carriages through. The path we found was to start underground. It pops you up in a cave about one-third of the way, then you skirt along the largest mountain, Mount Cars to avoid the frigid winds to get the rest of the way into the Cup of Carsin. But the two of us weren't the only ones! We had a lot of people helping!"

And that took years for them to accomplish, an incredible feat worthy of being written about and likely would be.

"But enough about . What about you? I bet a lot happened in Savir. Before I left Highgreen, everyone was talking about how we were an empire that can rival Ortesia now," Mitty said.

"I'm not so sure about rivaling Ortesia, but the Commonwealth's influence does stretch down to Savir now." Kanae got dizzy thinking about the enormity of it all.

"Look out!" Eliza shouted.

Kanae faced forward a little too late as they erged from the forest. The sorceress veered out of the way on her broom, narrowly dodging a herd inflated puffersheep. One smashed right into Kanae, and she saw white, the blue sky next, and then felt the hard warm ground against her back.

"Ow…" Kanae sat upright only to get mobbed by thousands of bouncing puffersheep. "W-WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

"Puffersheep migration! Get flat on the ground!" Eliza shouted from high in the sky.

Kanae flattened herself into the dirt, but the four devil mutts sprung into action. They pounced the puffersheeps, capturing them in their powerful jaws. However, there were just too many. Even the dire beasts were pumled rcilessly.

A shadow grew underneath her. Titan and Mitty had returned. Her goblin lover jumped down to cover her head with himself, and her stallion shielded them with his own body. The migration eventually passed. They slowly got up to find the ground cratered with countless potholes the size of puffersheeps. Tufts of wool were strewn on the ground.

"Thank you both." Kanae tugged on Titan's tusk and kissed Mitty. "What was that? There were a lot more puffersheep than I usually see during the migration!"

Eliza descended to the ground and said, "The lands likely had a very fertile spring this year. Populations explode when there is an abundance of resources after all, much like your Commonwealth. But your concerns are not unfounded. Wild puffersheep herds are normally a hundred large, not numbering in the thousands."

"Kanae, Eliza! The devil mutts!" Mitty cried from behind.

They spun around and saw the poor beasts lying still on the ground. Mitty tended to one that was bleeding out from the head. Devil mutts weren't exactly as hardy as an adventurer or dreadmourn at their age, at least not until reaching the size of Teana's pet Tiny. Still, for them to jump in and protect Kanae was worth praise.

"Let ." Kanae kneeled down and casted Flash Heal on them.

The devil mutts recovered, got up, and shook off their daze. Grateful, they rubbed up against Kanae for pets and licked her face.

"Hehe. Aww! You're all so cute. I should be thanking you for trying to save ." Kanae gave one a belly rub that ended up being too stimulating, giving him an erection. She pulled her hand back. "Okay, let's put that away for now…"

Wide open plains stretched before them. Mitty was reorienting himself after the puffersheep incident, eyes to the ground to pick up the simulacrum's tracks again. Kanae approached Eliza, who was in the middle of rummaging through her satchel.

"Say we find the simulacrum. What happens to it then?" Kanae asked.

"We will dispose of it. A simulacrum with parts of its soul cannot be allowed to live. They all eventually fall to insanity," Eliza explained.

"That sounds…"

"Morally reprehensible? It is, and I won't contest that. Now you know why Radevic has outlawed its practice. But imagine this, Athyst: an army of simulacrum that fights your wars. No need to risk the lives of the living. No more grief of loss. And certainly no insubordination," she explained.

It sounded great and all, but Kanae wasn't exactly thrilled by the prospect that so might suffer as a consequence of this. They hadn't made very many simulacrums and managed to overlook one with a piece of their soul still attached. She couldn't imagine how confused and scared the one they were searching for must be.

"Is there really no other way? Maybe we can give them a solitary place to live," Kanae spitballed.

"Athyst, you're a kind soul. Sotis ruthless. I've seen your polar opposites. However, the simulacrum possesses an incomplete soul. They are suffering, and those that suffer may lash out at anything. Even innocents. Place all your bla on . Outlaw the practice of creating simulacrums in the Commonwealth if you so wish. But we must put the rogue simulacrum to rest," Eliza implored before hopping back onto her broom.

Kanae sighed at the sorceress' premature exit from the conversation. Elizabeth Bedlam. She was a powerful Sorcerer, pillar of Aidenhall, and a master alchemist and inventor. Her magnum opus had led to the creation of an elixir of life and the recipe's subsequent destruction, to avoid others from obtaining it. That was about all that Kanae really knew about her.

Guilt in Eliza's voice indicated a conscience. But she was also willing to cast aside morality for the sake of sating her thirst in pursuing the unknown.

"Ready to go?" Mitty asked from atop Titan, who lowered himself for her to climb on.

"Yeah." Kanae nodded.

As night fell, the group agreed to rest and continue in the morning. Titan and the devil mutts ventured into the darkness to hunt for food. Eliza made herself comfortable on a tree branch, falling right to sleep.

anwhile, Kanae and Mitty had other ideas in mind. Lips pressed to the other, they made out lying by the fire to make up for their years apart. She reached into his pants, grabbing hold of the thick hobgoblin-sized cock.

"I don't want to wait… put it in right now," Kanae pleaded.

Mitty was a goblin deep down. Any opportunity to have sex was t with great enthusiasm. Kanae's goblin mate positioned himself between her legs, dick in hand as he guided his shaft into her.

"Oooh, yes!" Kanae moaned.

"Shh! Eliza's sleeping not so far away!" Mitty hushed.

"I can't help it… I've missed your big dick so much that I ca right away," she said, trembling.

"In that case…" Her goblin lover plunged as deep as he could go until his dick kissed the entrance to her womb, and his lips found purchase on hers.

Connected at two ends, Kanae threw her legs behind his hips and arms around his body. Mitty slamd with the paltry strength of a goblin, but endured with the stamina of a hobgoblin. He grabbed handfuls of her breasts, letting them sink into each mounds.

"More, Mitty! Keep fucking ! I want your hot cum so bad! Your dick is all I've been thinking about~" Kanae purred.

"Don't lie. You've slept with plenty of people while we were apart!" Mitty fired back.

"It doesn't matter how many n fuck silly. You and yours will always be my favorite! Give it to . Give that fertile seed that impregnated four tis before!" she howled into the night and climaxed.

Mitty pushed deep, releasing his load deep into Kanae's womb. Still, he was harder than stone. The goblin slowly pulled out, much to her dismay. However, he scooted up to her face and forced his cum-lathered cock down her throat.

"Mmm! Mmmpphh!" Kanae's eyes rolled back as Mitty held her horns and facefucked her.

The tip of his hobgoblin dick pumled her throat like a battering ram. In spite of the pain, Kanae writhed with ecstasy. Masochist didn't need to be on to enjoy her lover's rough embrace. She swallowed every drop of cum when he ca again. Hot spunk churned inside her stomach. When Mitty pulled out, he planted a deep kiss on Kanae that made her swoon.

"You're so sweet to kiss after cumming in my mouth." Kanae licked her lips.

"Well, I know you like it rough and to be treated like a princess, too." Mitty scratched the side of his cheek.

Kanae pushed Mitty down and got on top of him. She dangled her breasts over his face while straddling his hips. The lips of her pussy teased the tip of his throbbing dick.

"Ti for this succubus queen to treat you like a king." Kanae sat down only to have the wind knocked out of her lungs. What was intended to pleasure Mitty just turned around and pleasured her instead, even though she was supposed to be the succubus.

"You're wetter than before…" Mitty winced.

Kanae bounced feverishly on him. Their hips smacked together and echoed loudly. All the while, she tried to keep from climaxing too soon. At least until Mitty orgasd first.

"Cum for … Don't hold back and cum for … Nnh— ahhh!" Kanae moaned.

Mitty sucked on both of her nipples at the sa ti. His tongue tugged at the piercings, making her feel sothing fierce. Whenever it flicked them, she twitched and blanked out from sheer pleasure.

Plap! Plap! Plap! Plap! Plap! Plap! Plap! Plap! Plap!

"You're so intense… I'm cumming, Kanae!" Mitty cried.

"Yes, give it to eeee!" Kanae scread as the goblin's seed filled her a second ti. She grinded her hips and wrung him dry. Even then, his dick was still hard. "Haven't had enough yet? Good. I want more~"

"Kanae… We have company," he said, staring past her.

Kanae tilted her head. She got her answer when Titan laid his thick rod of at on her shoulder. They were also surrounded by the devil mutts, all males as her eyes adjusted, were fully erect and wagging their tails.

"I don't mind! You're normally too much for to handle alone anyway." Mitty teased.

"Crap." Kanae sighed and relented. "Alright, fine. But I can only handle three of you at a ti, so no fighting!"

For the rest of the night, four devil mutts, a dreadmourn, and a goblin gangbanged Kanae non-stop. Either they were in heat or she was. The canine demon beasts were ferocious. One mounted Kanae while she was on all fours. Sharp claws of his forelegs left scratches all over her body, and he gently clamped his jaws over her neck. His knot repeatedly pried her pussy open, driving Kanae crazy. There were still three more waiting to fuck her, too.

"Ow, ow… I'm cumming! Your knot feels so good in … It's ssing up my insides! I'm cumming so hard!" Kanae ripped handfuls of grasp as she climaxed.

Another devil mutt sidled up to her and lifted one leg up as if to pee. Instead, his dick throbbed in her face. She opened her mouth to suck the veiny red shaft.

"Mmm~ Sho tashty~" Kanae giggled coquettishly with a mouthful of devil mutt cock.

When it ca ti for Titan to have his turn, the massive stallion spared her little rest. They had no good way to do it. Kanae braced her hands against a tree and leaned her ass back. The stallion reared up on his hind legs, stabbing at the air until he penetrated her.

"No need to be jealous, Titan! Those devil mutts don't compare to you— ahh! You're so hard… Maybe I should make you jealous more often! Aaaahhh!" Kanae's nails scraped trenches into the bark.

Titan whinnied. He reared up on his hind legs again, enough to lift Kanae into the air still on his cock. Scalding dreadmourn spunk gushed down her thighs. he dropped back to his hooves, and Kanae slipped from the massive shaft into a puddle of fresh cum.

However, there was nothing like being embraced and slow fucked by Mitty as they laid together. He didn't mind that she was filthy. They stared into each other's eyes full of love and lust.

"I'm so happy I get to be with my mate again." Mitty smiled.

", too. Now, show how happy you are. Dilute all cum in my pussy so that I'm mostly filled with yours~" Kanae whispered seductively.

Morning ca, and Kanae awakened to Eliza looming over her, arms folded and nose wrinkling. Probably because she was drenched in a mix of bestial cum and slled like a wild animal.

"Quite an exciting night you must have had," Eliza joked.

"Nnh… Sorry, did we keep you up?" Kanae sat upright and wiped the jizz from her eyelids.

"Oh, don't worry. I made sure to bring slumber potions. When I took note of who was accompanying us, I had a feeling you wouldn't be able to help yourself." She laughed into her hand.

Kanae magicked the sticky and crusty ss away. She was getting dressed when a wet snout pressed against her pussy, followed by a long lapping tongue that left her weak in the knees.

"Eeek! No more! Haven't you guys had enough?" Kanae pushed the devil mutt away, then turned around to three more hoping for more. "Great. How am I going to explain this to your owner?"

"Kanae, I think we're pretty close to Barkwen, right?" Mitty asked, coming over to her with a map of the southern Commonwealth.

"You're right." She pointed to the large lake that fed into a smaller one where Barkwen was located. "That's where the sunken temple was located. I wonder if the simulacrum wandered into the goblin village? Terra's the broodmother there. She should know all the goblins and, if any, newcors to Barkwen."

"Then ti's awasting! Off we go to Barkwen— granted, I'm not exactly keen to be among so many goblins as a woman…" Eliza's excitent popped like a balloon.
