Chapter 1032 Chapter 1031: Simmering
That wasn't to say they were entirely unaware of what had happened; they could obviously feel what had happened, and I could tell that Leone was extremely embarrassed to have let herself go that easily, and that severely, while even Anput seemed to be a tad embarrassed too since she liked being able to experience everything and use whatever it was she experienced to tease her partners the next go around.
And yet now she wasn't able to remember it all, and when they both turned towards Jahi and I, they only got more embarrassed since the Demoness was looking back at them with a bemused amethyst gaze, taking her sweet time to inspect every inch of their bodies and take note of where they had bruised themselves and where they were clearly strained from all of that movement.
Meanwhile I was seated on the Demoness' lap barely able to put together these thoughts thanks to how much my entire body ached from her treatment; my neck was tingling still from where her fingers had been wrapped around it, my hips were borderline jelly from how hard she had taken me, my breasts and butt stung fiercely... every part of my body had been abused, from my face where she had 'slapped' me a few times to 'punish' me all the way down to my feet, which she had done something to but I wasn't able to recall.
Everything hurt so good though, so I wasn't complaining, though I had a sneaking suspicion that I wasn't going to be able to eat anything for many, many hours now, what with how much I had been stuffed from not only my Demoness, but also from Leone's determined pounding and Anput's desire to become completely drained.
So there I was, lounging on Jahi's lap and letting the Demoness care for me - as was her duty as the one who had put me into this state - by stroking my ears and holding me steady with her arm wrapped around my waist, ensuring I didn't leave her lap.
Both of our other lovers were staring at my battered state with a slight blush, but when Jahi's smile faded they focused on her instead, realizing that there was something important that they had missed.
"Earlier, a Sla Fiend found her way into the capital building and took refuge inside the Vizier's quarters. She was 'famished' for Lust Mana, so she released a haze that consumed the entire building and made everyone inside of it hornier than they had ever been. I would suspect she's been here for a few days maybe, but at the very least she was here last night, which is why Leone acted the way she did; there was something in the air here that tickled that part of her and woke it up, I guess."
The Vampire blushed even more as she was reminded of what she had done to Anput, who was just smirking as she leaned over and 'whispered' "I knew~ that couldn't be you deciding that on your own~! That was far too forwards and direct for you to do confidently and without turning into a bumbling mess, Princess~!"
Glaring at the Jackalkin, Leone tried to deny it, opening her mouth to speak before falling silent as she just let out a huff and turned away, unable to think of something to retort the Jackalkin with, which only made Anput snicker as she nodded arrogantly.
"Anyways, overnight she filled the building with that haze - likely at a very slow rate to make sure no one noticed anything - so that by morning, everyone would be too consumed by their arousal to do anything at all besides have sex, and that was what happen to you two; you were so aroused that you completely missed the haze.
I can't even blame you since the only reason I was able to notice it was Kat saying something to me, and even then I was almost too far gone to care. Ironically enough, Sla'Caligo was the one to break me free completely as she told me that I should go do something about it, but she refused to help you three for 'selfish' reasons..."
That made the two shiver as they looked around, and I just smiled wryly as I added "She's... not in the room currently. I don't know where she is, but recently she's been rather noticeable for me, and I don't feel her around us. Though that doesn't mean much since she's an Arch Fiend, after all."
"To keep this going as quickly as I can, there was a Fiend in the Vizier's room feeding off of our lust, and the Sultana and I - really just me, the Sultana was just there - fought against her. She is... unique irritating, I must admit. Remember Ka'Minvis? And how Ka'Minvis was two separate entities made into one Fiend? Well, Sla'Salaxi - the Fiend I just fought - makes use of puppets to do her bidding, and the three I saw were a Dogkin, a Goblin, and a Dragonkin. I don't know if any of those three are her real body, but that's not important.
What is important is that she was on the losing side after I 'killed' the Dogkin puppy - or badly damaged it, anyways - and she didn't want to die, or have her puppets die, I really am not that sure. So in exchange for letting her live, she wanted to offer us information that would be equal in value to her being left alive, and that-"
"Was it really worth more than a bunch of materials that we could turn into some strong gear though? I mean, from what it sounds like, that Lust Mana is really insidious and hard to deal with, so if we could have gotten Kat a bunch of armor and weapons made for Lust Mana, wouldn't that bolster our strength manyfold?"
Jahi just stared at Anput for a moment before continuing on like she hadn't been interrupted, which made the Jackalkin pout as she fell silent and listened to the Demoness, only for that pout to disappear when she heard what she had to say.
"Jillian and Ayla are still alive, which we knew, but we didn't know where they were, right? We thought they were out to the west somewhere, maybe in hiding, maybe not in hiding; the Empire's network reaches far, yes, but not that far in the grand scheme of things. Especially with the Fiend's coming back slowly but steadily. Now though... Sla'Salaxi told us where they were. The two Elven bitches are currently cloistered away inside the Labyrinthian."
I took a deep breath at the mention of their names, pushing down on the emotions that threatened to rise up again for what felt like no reason; sure, they had almost destroyed this second life of mine with their schemes, and sure they were absolutely crazy and likely not able to be understood by non crazy people, but still, they had fled somewhere else to lick their wounds.
They couldn't get that strong, right?
They couldn't replace the strength that came from the Sariel Family located in the Empire, which was strong thanks to the myriad of connections they had inside of the Empire itself, right?
"Not only is it them, but... apparently they have their own Arch Fiend with them; another Sla Arch Fiend too, which... well, we just got a small taste of a normal Sla Fiend's power, right? And while Sla'Caligo is very much a presence in our lives, we have never really gotten to see her powers on display since... she's never had a reason to use them. The closest was against Tza'Orbias a month or so ago, but besides that?"
We all fell silent, and I took in another deep breath before saying "I... kind of felt Cali's power before, but only because she was making a point, and... now that I think about it, the difference between what she did and what this Sla'Salaxi did is very different. Cali's magic worked directly with desires, and you can say that Sla'Salaxi did as well, but where Sla'Salaxi just focused on our sexual desires, Cali... she was able to amplify my bloodlust, amplify my desire to learn, amplify my lust obviously, but she was also able to drain my desires; leave me feeling empty and without purpose.
I didn't want to do anything; I didn't even want to live anymore. She took everything from me without even batting an eye. That was what she managed to do with her magic on a small scale, without even consuming that much mana. She just... took everything I desired in life itself, things that I subconsciously desired - like living, breathing, eating, sleeping and so much more - and things that I actively desired. So if that is what an Arch Fiend can do..."
"The obvious question is if this other Arch Fiend can do the same, or if Arch Fiend's magics are specialized to an insane degree for their respective 'domains'. Remember, Sla'Caligo's specific domain was Hidden Twisted Desires, right? So she would be working with all sorts of desires that everyone has, and some people..."
Leone was the one to finish Jahi's sentence, the Vampire staring at us with wide eyes as she muttered "Some people desire to kill, to rape, to steal... so many things are hidden in someone's mind that they desire to do, so of course she would be able to twist those specific desires back to their base parts and make use of that, hence the ability to 'steal' away ALL desires..."
That horrifying revelation made us all shiver, before goosebumps covered our entire bodies as the cheery voice of the Arch Fiend we were talking about filled the air just like she filled the space between us she appeared out of nowhere and laid down on the bed, her grin splitting her face completely whilst her pink eyes shone with a malevolent light.
"Congratulations, you all finally~ decided to try and figure out just what I was capable of~! Took you long enough, but the fact that you were able to come up with that realization so quickly as soon as you put your mind to it makes me think you didn't need to keep Salaxi alive~! You girls could've figured out where those Elves were on your own~! Would've been one hell of a surprise when we encountered whatever other Arch Fiend they managed to find, but hey~! Who cares about the specifics, right?"
She turned towards me, aiming that grin at me and sending sparks throughout my body as I was made into the sole recipient of her heavy, terrifying gaze, but just as I felt like my heart was going to enter into a new gear to beat even faster, she stretched languidly and let her grin fade into a simple smile as she sprawled out on the bed, staring at the ceiling as she stroked her belly.
"Well, I'm a bit stuffed, and Salaxi was kind enough to give me some 'help', so I think I'll be taking a nap now... don't miss me too much, everyone~!"
