The Hero Became a Succubus, and the Only Way to Level is to… What?! Chapter 532 – Tournament’s Eve

Kanae had nearly finished going down the list of contestants for the lower tournant. She saved the more familiar nas for last, since they were going to be easier to find. Still, days flying around Aidenhall in search of everyone left her wings aching. Both pairs drooped against her back. On the bright side, everyone was cooperative. A few on the fence participants asked to drop out, especially after seeing who would be fighting. Most, however, reaffird their resolve.

On the first day of the lower tournant, Runald was slated to face off against a promising junior knight nad Reginald, a dark elf crowned Battlemage. Nelly had the misfortune of fighting a known overachiever in Knights' Academy, a human teenager nad Oswald, who was crowned a Paladin. Teana and Thu were also going to be fighting each other. It was going to be a tough match for her daughter for certain. She just hoped Thu didn't apply his usual instincts against Teana, or there would be problems later. Rasheena and Joap were the last two people she knew personally to do battle. There were plenty more fights across the day, but they were the only ones she was interested in watching.

"Okay. Ti to check in on Rasheena. Sultan Cerberus said that she isn't one for the royal treatnt. If not in Aidenhall or Brighton, then maybe… Don't tell . The Bonelands?" Kanae groaned.

The itch at the back of Kanae's brain compelled her to fly to Edina's turf in Radevic. Undeads road the cri-addled nine blocks that made up this district. She flew past a group of thugs shoving a man into a dark alleyway, gamblers throwing dice for a quick buck on the sidewalks, and prostitutes soliciting in the open. There were significantly more undead than when she had last visited. They patrolled the streets like guards in the rest of Radevic.

Kanae landed in the filthy and untended streets of Bonelands. Few people paid her any mind and most didn't care, going about their day. A scraggling elf bumped into her hard. She grabbed his hand which clutched her coinpouch. Caught, he let go right away, and she released him just as quickly.

"I'd rather not be here any longer than I need to be." Kanae sighed.

Glass shattered down the road. Two masked n jumped out of a store with bulging satchels of trinkets spilling from the openings. They took off running as the owner stumbled out to vainly give chase.

"We're rich, bro!"

"Not yet! Keep running!"

"Stop! Stop those n!" the store owner cried.

Kanae stepped in their way until a bone brute snatched them both by the scruff of their necks, lifting the two off their feet. They turned white as ghosts being brought up to the skeletal monstrosity's face.

"Uh… We were just returning this." One of them laughed nervously.

"Oh, thank goodness." The store owner caught up and took his belongings back, then bowed to the bone brute. "Please, extend my gratitude to your mistress."

Edina's minion nodded. It flung the thieves into a mound of trash and clapped its boney hands.

"Edina!" Kanae flew in front of the bone brute before it could leave.

"Hey, Kanae! What'cha doing in the Bonelands?" Edina seized control of her minion to talk through it.

"Rasheena. Have you seen her?" she asked.

"The hellhound from Avanesse? Yeah! I got her right here. Say hello!"

Hello?

"Succubus! Long ti no see since Savir!" Rasheena's voice ca through clearly.

"Why are you two hanging out together?" Kanae asked.

"I'm showing her around the fun parts of the city. A Sultana of Avanesse has a lot of money to gamble, ya know? You co over, too. We're at Crystal. My bone brute'll show you the way," Edina said.

The call cut, and the undead minion ushered Kanae to walk with it. They ca upon a shabby taphouse in the center of the district. Rotting floorboards creaked with every step, and chandeliers swung precariously from the rafters. Folks of ill-repute partook in drinking contests, danced on the floor, and broke out into fights after one too many drinks. The bone brute pointed upstairs to the second floor, where a group of people were seated around a table playing cards. Edina and Rasheena were among them.

"Kanae! Pull up a seat and join us!" Rasheena hiccuped.

To the hellhound's side, a stroller containing four infant cubs slept soundly in a little cuddle puddle. anwhile, their mother was slamming back beer and gambling their fortune away.

"Is this really okay for your babies?" Kanae asked nervously.

"Why not? I carried them for months. I deserve a little R&R. Hear you're looking for . It's about the tournant?" Rasheena leaned back and asked.

"Yep." She pulled up a seat. "Just need confirmation that you're still participating, and here to inform you that you're facing a junior knight nad Joap. He's one of my friends. Don't go easy on him."

Rasheena threw her head back in laughter.

"You have a funny sense of friendship, my friend!" Rasheena flashed a toothy grin.

"I don't an that to ss with Joap. You're going to regret it if you underestimate him," Kanae warned.

"I'll keep that in mind, but I also have a few tricks up my sleeves. Behold, a Royal Flush." She revealed her cards, much to everyone's shock.

"Well, fuck my sideways." Edina gasped, tossing her ager Straight onto the table.

Against her better judgnt, Kanae joined them for a few gas. It turned out about as well as she expected. Now, the crown of the Commonwealth owed Edina a couple thousand in gold coins. She took her loss back to Athyst Hall, thankful for the piece and quiet. Quartermaster idina had taken Feraline back to Estaline, and Inquisitor Gretchen chaperoned Kanade and Suvee into the city.

Kanae considered taking a nap until heavy footfalls entered her hall. She turned to the entrance to find Thu and a draph woman, his mother Lua, coming in with a bag of groceries.

"Lua! You were in town?" Kanae asked.

"Hello, Kanae! And, yes. I was in Lograin when I received word that Thu is going to be participating in a tournant in Radevic. I ca right away to cheer him on! If you don't mind, I'll be staying with my son for a little while," Lua explained.

"That's not a problem. Thu, you're committing to participating in the tournant, right? You're up against my daughter, Teana," she said.

"Commander's daughter? Thu give good fight. Don't want to disappoint. Mate afterwards?" Thu asked.

"No, absolutely not. Er… At least not unless she is okay with it. You're free to hold nothing back fighting her, but don't touch her that way. Got it?" The fury of a mother pulsed inside Kanae's chest.

"Th-Thu understands!" he stamred.

Kanae breathed a sigh of relief. It only just now hit her. She was going to see her kids get the snot beaten out of them. That didn't sit right with her. They were always going to grow up and face the world, horns pointed forward. Knowing that hadn't made the idea of them getting hurt any better.

"Are you alright? What's the matter?" Lua shuffled over worriedly.

"How are you able to let Thu join Athyst Hall and participate in the tournant so casually? I can't stop thinking about my kids. Hell, when Esta gave birth to Feraline in the middle of battle, it scared half to death. She wanted it to happen. Pan and Revah, too. I feel like I'm failing them." I slumped down in a chair, and the draph matron took a seat next to her.

"Part of getting older is understanding that your children will, too. And what's best for them won't always be best for you. Take Thu for instance. He wants to have sex with everyday. I'm only one woman, and he has an unfathomable well of stamina. I'll do my best to satisfy him even if it exhausts the next day," she explained.

Kanae eyed the two of them. This was not how she expected the conversation to be going. It was made worse by Thu nodding off to the side, backing up Lua's claims.

"I've got two daughters planning to inevitably drop out of Knights' Academy. What do you think I should do about them?" Kanae asked.

"Have you tried talking to them about what they want? Who knows better than them, right?" Lua smiled.

Was it supposed to be that easy? Kanae glanced down and sulked. Maybe sending Minestra after them wasn't a good idea. Night fell, and she rolled around in bed within the Knight-Commander's bedchamber. She couldn't sleep. Her mind wandered too much, replaying how to talk to Pan and Revah. It would be so much easier if they were like Mikki and Tea—

No. I shouldn't think that way. Kanae reprimanded herself. That was just going to push them farther away. She got up and threw on a robe. A walk might do her mind so good. Kanae strolled down the corridor of her garrison, yawning into one hand and rubbing her eyes with the other.

Sothing loud echoed from down farther down the hall. It had a rhythm to it.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Kanae followed the noise and quickly recognized it as two people having sex. Like, really going at it. Her groin moistened. Her nipples stiffened. She creeped closer down the hall and paused at a door not closed all the way. Faint light bled out from the seams.

When Kanae peered in, she found Lua riding Thu in the cow girl position. Her massive draph breasts heaved with every bounce. Underneath, her ogre son grabbed two large handfuls of her udders, bringing them up to his mouth to suck on both at the sa ti. She threw her head back, screaming in bliss. Milk spilled forth from her nurturing mounds, all over the ogre's body and soaking the sheets.

anwhile, Lua's thick ass rippled from each impact. The massive ogre cock plunged deep into her, taking it all down to the base. Thu's thick balls throbbed as he pumped into her pussy. He took his lips off her breasts, squeezed them with his hands, and her nipples sprayed milk everywhere.

"Gods, Thu! You're so rough with … I'm cumming! Keep drinking… and grow big and strong… How does mommy's milk taste? Good? There's more!" Lua coaxed him.

Kanae swallowed hard. She started fingering herself. Her breath ca in heavy pants. If she went in there right now, Thu would give her the sa treatnt. A big cock to slam into her pussy for the night.

Soone tapped Kanae on the shoulder. She spun around to find Quartermaster idina having returned. The elven half-succubus lifted a finger up to her lips.

"Every now and then when Lua visits, they have so much sex, it keeps everyone awake. I had Madam Bedlam enchant their walls with a silence spell to fix that." idina grabbed the door handle and pulled it shut.

Suddenly, peace and quiet.

She continued, "They must have been so eager to rut that they forgot to close the door all the way."

"Right." Kanae cleared her throat. "Good on you, idina. I'm glad I made you our quartermaster."

"Hehe. I live to serve you, Knight-Commander!" The elf smiled.

Athyst Hall rumbled. That couldn't have been from Thu and Lua. They weren't fucking that intensely.

"It ca from the Viviren portal room. I rember the hall rumbling when you arrived," idina explained.

"That's probably Arenade and Andora then," Kanae said.

The two of them hurried over to the portal room. They got there just in ti as Arenade was dragging a large and heavy suitcase through the portal. The Viviren mage was doing his best to keep the portal open. Sweat beaded down his tense face.

"Push, Andora! PUSH!" Arenade yelled.

"I'm pushing as hard as I can, Your Majesty! WHAT DID YOU EVEN PUT IN THERE?!" Andora's disjointed voice shouted from the other side.

"S-Stuff, okay? Important stuff! Now stop with the questions and keep pushing!" She looked back and locked eyes with Kanae. "What are you and idina standing around for? Help !"

"I have a feeling I know exactly what's in there." Kanae grabbed the rope bindings, and together with idina's help, they pulled the giant suitcase through.

Andora fell forward right after and stumbled on top. The portal shuddered, then sputtered out of existence.

"Kanae… These portals look less and less safe the more we use them…" Arenade groaned.

"It wouldn't have been so bad if you hadn't brought those." Kanae pointed at the bulging suitcase.

"Hey, you leave them alone. I've grown fond of them!" She threw herself over it protectively.

"Seriously, is soone going to tell what's inside the suitcase?" Andora sighed.

Kanae wanted to, but Arenade viciously shook her head.

"It's just… a ton of my skincare routine!" Arenade explained unconvincingly.

"You know what? Not my problem." Andora rolled her eyes and gave it a rest. "I'm going to go find Wendy. I haven't seen her in a while."

"Ask a guard for Gold Hall. They should take you right there," Kanae said.

"Thanks!" She waved on the way out.

Kanae and Arenade pulled the suitcase into the main floor of Athyst Hall. As expected, they were stuffed full of the goblin simulacra. Judging by how Arenade reacted in the portal room, she had grown attached to them. Just what Kanae hoped.

"Whew. Playing building blocks to fit them in that trunk was tough. Just give a minute to catch my breath." Arenade plopped down on the suitcase, then turned expectantly to Kanae. "So, Andora told you had a surprise for ? What is it? A new crown? An elegant painting of yours truly?" She extended both arms her way. "I'm ready to receive my loving spouse's precious gift!"

"Oh, you want it now? I left your gift over at your mansion in Brighton. We can go there now if you can't wait." Kanae's lips curled into a hungry grin that Arenade didn't notice.

"Of course, I can't wait! Let's go!" Her high elf wife tugged on her arm.

They hoisted the suitcase up together and flew for Radevic's Brighton district. The beautiful neighborhood was speckled with confetti from recent celebrations. All the way there, Arenade wouldn't stop prodding about what her surprise gift was. Kanae didn't say a thing. They landed in the courtyard, to a mansion lit up with activity inside. The windows were especially bright in the living room.

As soon as Arenade touched down, she ran up to the door and bounced with excitent.

"Hehe. I know what it is. You guys planned a surprise party for ! Not very subtle of you. I can hear voices inside. You should've shut the lights off first. Still, I'm willing to forgive your lack of subtlety because you thought of ." Arenade leaned forward for a kiss.

"Anything for you." Kanae obliged a tender peck, then ushered her in. "Well, what are you waiting for?"

Arenade twisted the knob and flew inside.

"Wait no longer, for the lady of honor has… arrived…" Arenade grinded to a stop in the foyer.

Six goblin n around the living turned to the high elf at once.

"Lady of honor is right!"

"Hubba hubba!"

"Those tits are bigger in person!"

"K-K-Kanae, what is this?" Arenade stamred, going red up to the tips of her ears.

"Your gift! Rember we talked about arranging you a gangbang with real goblins? No more simulacra. Real goblins." Kanae closed the door on the way in and embraced Arenade from behind. She slipped a hand into her robes to tease her hard nipples and fingered her soaking wet pussy. All six goblins sprung a throbbing erection.
