The Hero Became a Succubus, and the Only Way to Level is to… What?! Chapter 525 – Hunger Unleashed

The morning after the ball turned out to be just as chaotic as the night of the attack. Seated on her throne, Kanae allowed herself to be the Commonwealth's punching bag. Their rage and fears were warranted. Hundreds lobbed complaints, aired out concerns, and asked for recompense. She pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. The Cult of Lust and Depravity's attack really mucked things up.

"Your Majesty, my husband was injured at your party!"

"If they snuck into your castle, where else could they be?"

"Where was the security last night?!"

Kanae asked herself the sa questions. They were all she thought about the whole night. She didn't get a wink of sleep either. What would Arenade do in her position? Would things have turned out different under her watch?

"The city was fine until you made that Ortesian your army's Supre Commander!" a particularly angry nobleman shouted.

"Co closer and say that again," Petyr dared, her fiery glare choking the man quiet.

"Petyr isn't at fault." Kanae finally rose from the throne to speak. "Responsibility for the cult's attack falls solely on , and for that—" She descended to their level and bowed deeply. "I apologize for letting your night be ruined."

Sustained gasps erupted all across the throne room. Petyr clicked her tongue. Kanae's attendants, Zadris, Lilith, Gretchen, and her companions shifted uncomfortably where they stood. The aristocracy likely never had anyone of her stature admit wrong or show appeasent before. It made her wonder if maybe she shouldn't have.

Now that silence had fallen over the chamber, Kanae continued, "The Mistresses of Farce and Depravity's attack was an isolated event, and they ant no direct harm on anyone in particular. If you were hurt in the attack, please see the physicians over at the Ehmvier Branch of the Eminence of Sin for healing. Thank you all for coming to the ball. Maybe the next one will be a little less exciting."

The joke only landed on a handful of people. Kanae had the guards escort the guests out of the throne chamber. Plenty still complained as they were led away. In their place, Kanae's closest turned to face her.

"Showing weakness in front of the aristocracy will have consequences. You should have answered their wling with indignation. We should also respond to Temptation's attack with one of our own," Petyr said.

"And piss both sides off even more? Great idea." Lilith rolled her eyes.

"So they don't think the Empress of the Commonwealth is a pushover, especially after her castle had been attacked," the high elf reiterated.

Lilith swallowed the next sentence and glowered.

"I don't care what the nobility thinks. Last night, Labelle and Jester stole the enchanted oil lamp. Elirashj's ho. It seems they just wanted to get their sister Charlotte back," Kanae explained.

"With any luck, stealing an elental lord blows up on them." Elizabeth Bedlam scoffed.

"I'm not so sure about that… Elirashj is only loyal to herself. She's swayed by anyone willing to get her the most interesting pets. If the Cult of Lust and Depravity promises her anything, that elental lord might just fight for them," she explained.

The air around them grew thick with tension. This ant that they possibly had another elental lord to contend with. Kanae and her companions only managed to defeat the Harpy King and Uzazzsa with the help of one.

"How are the kids?" Kanae asked Gretchen.

"Shaken, but fine. Suvee and Kanade are taking what happened in stride. The two are currently training with a few trusted Sisters behind the castle. Your Majesty, I still think you should send after the Mistresses. I'll root them out like I did Charlotte," the Gretchen vowed.

"No, we should rethink our strategies for now. I… also believe them that they just wanted their sister back," she explained, recalling Claudia's centuries-long search for Alicia.

"As you say then." The inquisitor bowed.

Labelle and Jester could have caused so much more damage, but they didn't. Kanae sighed. Thank goodness she kept Cockcalibur inside her, and the Blade of the First Temptress and Matron's Regalia were inside Chester. If they managed to steal those, the prophecy of Satine the Devil of Lust's manifestation in this world would have co one step closer. She thought for a long mont. Would the Supre One and The Many intervene? Surely, a devil could only be disastrous.

"For now, I'm confident we can conclude this isn't an act of war by Temptation. Just a few Queen-Mother Mistresses seeking to rescue their sister. I would've done the sa for any of you. So of us went to Savir just for that anyway. And Andora," Kanae called out the ashad high elf retainer, who had been quiet the entire ti and finally looked up. "Don't feel bad about what happened yesterday. Arenade would tell you the sa thing. You almost gave your life to protect Kanade and Suvee. I won't forget that."

"Your Majesty…" Andora drew a deep and quivering breath.

She frowned and added, "Petyr does have a point though. Temptation's infiltration of Ehmvier pretty much told the world that we're not prepared. We need to take steps to grow stronger. Which ans… Edina." The squirreling perked up. "How much longer do you need to turn into a lich? And can we help speed up the process?"

"It takes roughly a year to make a soul cairn. With help, shave that down to six months. What happened in Savir set back one, so I still need three more before I start the ritual for lichdom," Edina explained.

"Disgusting." Petyr spat on the ground.

"Don't be such a killjoy, Petyr." Eliza patted her on the back only to be shrugged off. "A lich in this era sounds like fun. I will lend the necromancer my aid. I'm sure that the bookworm Archbishop Patrice Starborne will as well, if I ask her."

Kanae agreed to the plan and dismissed the eting. Stress weighed upon her shoulders like a cloak of tal. There was a lot to do, but she left Zadris and Lilith to handle those seeking an audience with the crown. She headed for Ehmvier's Church of Many to pray among the common people.

Citizens ca up to her in droves. Children asked to hold her hand, and the elderly offered their respects. Kanae felt closer to these folks than the aristocrats she held the ball for. When she finally got ti for herself, she took a seat in the pews and clasped both hands in prayer. She opened her eyes to the sight of the salamander demigoddess, Threcia, sitting across the desk in an office.

"Ah, Kanae! Haven't seen you in a hot minute. Still haven't achieved Deification yet, huh? Don't worry. You progressed a lot faster than most candidates. So spend their entire lives and don't even finish one requirent, those losers!" Threcia threw her head back in laughter.

"It would be nice if the last Deification candidate I needed to fight fell into my lap, but I guess it's not that easy for a reason," Kanae said.

"True that, and you have to be careful not to be defeated yourself! So, what brings the sex deviant here today?"

"I wanted to ask about Satine, the Devil of Lust. Is there anything you gods can do to lend us mortals your aid?" she asked.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. We've left your world ages ago. We're such ancient history that many people think our lived lives are legends and myths. There's more tis I wanted to intervene than strands of fur on a cat. We can't help you. What I can say, however, is tell you that your world is in the best state it has ever been in to stop a devil. A lot of that is thanks to you," the demigoddess explained.

"R-Really? ?"

Threcia flashed a big grin. The world of the gods slipped away, and Kanae returned to the pews, sitting beside an elderly human lady deep in prayer. She ca to ask for guidance and received reassurance instead. Speaking with the gods couldn't have gone any better.

That weight from earlier vanished. Threcia had taken it right off her shoulders. In its place, hunger tugged at Kanae's stomach. An insatiable sense of being famished left her weak and lightheaded. Her pussy started getting wet and nipples stiff. She worried soone might notice.

On the way back to the castle, Kanae passed by the city stables. The scent of virile beasts lured her closer. She gulped hard and made her way inside, passing by people saying hello until Titan's stall lood over her. Throwing open the door, her massive stallion glanced up to et her starved gaze.

"Titan… I think your mare needs so attention," Kanae said, slipping in and closing the door behind her.

For the next four hours, they rutted like animals in heat. A few stablehands checked in, drawn by the commotion and Kanae's bestial moans, turned bright red and left them to it. Kanae bucked her hips against Titan's Cock Ring of Hardening-empowered mast. His powerful thrusts left her breathless, and his hefty balls slapped against her ass in every motion. She ordered the dreadmourn onto his back and rode him in the missionary cowgirl, holding his hind legs for leverage.

Just past noon, Kanae erged from Titan's stall, her pussy gushing with fresh cum that drenched her thighs and pooled on the ground. The spent dreadmourn laid on the straw bedding, tongue rolled out, panting heavily, and balls thoroughly drained.

"Holy shit, Kanae!" Ichi rushed over, cheeks just as red. "You're getting all the livestock riled up going at it with Titan like that. You could at least warn us next ti you co."

Kanae grabbed his arm with a vise and said, "Fuck . Fuck now."

"Oh. Well, you don't have to tell twice!" He unbuckled his pants, and Kanae led him into an empty adjacent stall.

An hour later, Ichi was down for the count and unable to get it up anymore. Yet Kanae's hunger didn't abate. It only intensified. She stepped out of the stall to the sight of almost fifteen stablehands, red in the face and gathered in front having listened in.

"Guys, I think sothing is wrong with Her Majesty!"

"I can fix her!"

"I don't want to fix her!"

"G-Get back, everyone! I'll hold her off while you escape!"

"No, screw off. I'll distract her!"

They threw themselves into Kanae, who drained every single one dry on the floor of the stables. Several won, dreadmourns, and mars were caught in the crossfire. She licked her fingers clean of cum, leaving behind a trail of unconscious victims.

In a flash of clarity, Kanae dropped to her knees in horror at her handiwork. Nearly everyone in the stables passed out, larger livestock included. n had their limp dicks hanging out, balls shriveled up, and groaning in pain and pleasure.

"Oh, no. What happened?!" Kanae cried, clutching her cum-drenched head.

"You happened…" Ichi crawled out of the stall gaunt like a skeleton despite having a bulky minotaur fra. "Sex is supposed to be fun… but you were an animal!"

"I-I was walking back from the Church of Many! You're telling I did this?" She ca over to cradle his head.

"Yeah… right after you got done with Titan, too…" he muttered.

That part was also a blur, but the lingering throbbing feeling of satisfaction in Kanae's pussy could have only been from Titan's well-endowed cock. At least, it should have been satisfaction. She wanted more even now, enough that it was driving her insane.

"Wait a minute. I still have Nectar of the Grove!" Kanae let Ichi drop.

"Ow!" Her friend groaned. "Nectar… of the Grove?"

"It's a skill Demigodess Gaea gifted . I can heal soone to full mana, health, and stamina," she explained.

"Oooooh. Give it to ! I want to keep having sex with you!"

"Sorry, but if I had a choice between you or Titan, the decision is obvious. Another go with my stallion should be able to satisfy !" she exclaid.

Ichi sulked. Kanae returned to Titan's stall to drip feed Nectar of the Grove into his mouth. The dreadmourn stallion got back on his hooves, shaking the straw from his mane. Sothing else had gotten back up, too. His massive cock was raring to go again.

"Okay, Titan. Ready to fuck your mare into submission again?" Kanae chewed on her lower lip.

But Titan wasn't able to satisfy her hunger. They fucked until evening. Everyti his dick went soft, she sucked and licked his shapely mber while it was squeezed between her breasts until he got hard again. Kanae walked out of the stables in the dead of night with the dreadmourn drained unconscious a second ti… and she was still hungry.

"Damn it! What's wrong with ?" Kanae pressed a hand to her cum-filled belly, hankering for another al.

The flight back to the castle was made in sha. Thankfully, it was pitch dark outside. No one could see their succubus monarch disheveled to such a state. Kanae landed on the balcony of the royal bedchamber, fetched a wand from the desk, and casted Prestidigitation multiple tis to clean up the ss.

Soone fiddled with the door. Kanae panicked to look for clothes. The knob twisted, and the door gave way to a goblin.

"Kanae, I'm ho!" Mitty strolled in.

"I thought you were my girls!" Kanae sighed with relief.

"Oh, Zadris put Suvee and Kanade to sleep a bit ago. And… why are you naked?" he asked.

Kanae looked down at her bare body, then at Mitty's growing erection. That insatiable hunger ca creeping back again.

"Uhm… Kanae, are you okay?" Mitty stepped forward worriedly.

"No, I'm not." Kanae flicked the Cock Ring of Hardening she had taken off Titan to him. "Put this on and start fucking ."

"Y-Yes, my mate!" He quickly did as ordered.

Kanae didn't wait for Mitty to take off the rest of his clothes. As soon as he slipped the enchanted cock ring on, she tossed him into bed and sat herself upon his thick hobgoblin mber. Normally, her goblin lover took the lead. She rode him fast and hard, hips pumping with the sole purpose of selfish pleasure. She lifted his hands up to her breasts, hooking his fingers into the nipple piercings.

"Pull them! Hard!" Kanae cried.

"Okay, but… Kanae… What's gotten over you? You've never been this… intense before!" Mitty winced.

"I don't know… I just want more sex! Pound with your hobgoblin cock! It's not as big as Titan's, but yours is one of the best I've ever had! I'm already so close to cumming!" she squealed in delight.

Hot goblin seed pumped into Kanae's womb, mixing in with the countless other n and beasts, who had the misfortune of running into her today.

"More… More!" Kanae bounced feverishly even as Mitty was still blowing his load. Cum oozed out from her pussy, splashing and churning from every impact. She leaned down to stick her tongue into his mouth and hump him. The goblin's hands shot behind to grab her ass.

Hours went by, and Mitty was beginning to tire out. Kanae was on all fours, butt in the air. His thrusts grew sluggish, less impactful. He gasped for air as if having run a marathon.

"Kanae… I'm… going to pass out… We might have to call in… help…" Mitty panted.

"I'm open to anything. Literally. I still want more!" Kanae pleaded.

"I think I have just the guys in mind— goblins," he said.
