The Hero Became a Succubus, and the Only Way to Level is to… What?!
Chapter 399 – A Coup in the Works

The miners and excavators on board the edirashem eventually cleared away the blockade. It took most of the day, but they were able to continue on their journey again by late that evening. Few monsters had tried to attack, but the presence of Edina's undead army repelled enough for them to not be a problem.

Two tall, pale red canyons sandwiched the edirashem as they traveled through the narrow pass. According to Odika, this was once a single canyon range, and a massive earthquake caused it to fissure into two. Both displayed the exact same striations, so there was merit to his words. The caravans had to be careful. Each wagon only had ten feet in clearance on either side. Deviating slightly from the path might run them into the canyonside.

Avanesse was in the home stretch now. The great city known as the Ruby Jewel awaited at the very end. Since this was the only way in and out, it made for an incredibly defensible position. They had also passed by several small strongholds and watchtowers built against the canyon. Soldiers emerged from their dwellings to salute the edirashem like some kind of moving monument.

Little did they know, it would be this very edirashem that was coming to change the very fate of Avanesse. It also contained Kanae, who was enjoying the morning with her pet mimic.

"Oh, my god… Yes! Keep licking, Chester! It feels so good, and I'm so close…" Kanae moaned and pulled on her nipple piercings.

Sat between her spread-open legs, the mimic lapped unceasingly with its large and slimy tongue. Kanae twisted and writhed in the throes of ecstasy. It was the best cunnilingus she ever had, and she was disappointed at not acquiring a mimic sooner. The enthusiastic creature, feared by treasure-seeking adventurers and travelers alike, happily licked its master's pussy and clit.

Kanae had been pent up ever since boarding the edirashem. Circumstances denied her a chance at some good old fashion fun throughout the journey. And yesterday, after venturing into Choawain with Kris and Durok, she couldn't stop thinking about being taken by the minotaur. She squeezed her eyes shut and imagined a thick horse-shaped cock, accidentally willing Cockcalibur to answer. The dildo weapon transformed inside her, suddenly expanding her pussy to fit.

"I'm cumming! Aaaahhhh!" Kanae climaxed hard and squirted all over the mimic, which snapped the lid open wide to quench its thirst. "That was… amazing… I need more monsters as pets…"

The mimic hopped down to the floor and bounced gleefully. It hiccuped once, then burped out another ceramite bar. Kanae picked the metal bullion up to admire the rainbow sheen against the light.

"Huh. I guess you didn't actually digest it. Can you just store things inside you?" Kanae asked.

The same tongue that was eating her out seconds ago fired out, snatched the ceramite from her hand, and gulped it down. Kanae took that as a yes.

"Hey, Kanae—" Renya entered the room without knocking and skidded to a stop on her heels. "Whoa, there! Bare naked, inner thighs dripping wet… Kanae, are you and that mimic banging?"

"His name is Chester, and I have needs, alright? Besides, you should know already I'm not exactly picky. More importantly, what's up?" Kanae asked while getting dressed.

"Something I gotta talk to you about. Just between… Can Chester turn around? Those eyes kind of freak me out," she said about the half a dozen unblinking, piercing eyes in the woodwork.

Kanae twirled a finger, and the mimic bounced to a corner where it settled into an inanimate state that looked like a regular chest.

"I need answers," Renya leaned against the wall and started. "What the fuck my old man was doing in Savir, the deal he made with the Harpy King. I questioned Praijya earlier, but even she had no idea. Guess it was just between them. I know it's copper and diamond compared to what we're dealing with, regicide and all that. After we're done in Avanesse, I want to go to Elusis."

"You… what?" Kanae gasped.

"Don't think we should? You still gotta find Red, right? It's the whole reason we came to Savir before getting roped into their civil war," she reminded her.

It hadn't slipped Kanae's mind at all. Savir was in a delicate situation. Radevic, the Commonwealth, Temptation, and Ortesia meddling in their affairs certainly hasn't helped either. Kanae and her companions had also hamstrung the Harpy King at every turn, too. They defeated and seized control of Praijya. Two of the five Dervishes, Grahib and Sofisa, were now under Ambrosia's sway. The powers that be in Elusis must be panicking.

The Harpy King was definitely out for their blood now. Traveling to Elusis would be more dangerous than Avanesse and Bravost.

However…

"You're probably right. We might have to fight our way into Elusis though. I promise I'll help you find those answers. But first, we have Avanesse to deal with. For all we know, our journey's about to end there. If we screw up, Ambrosia's going to make slaves of us all," Kanae explained.

"Slavery's bad investment." Renya smirked. "No slave is productive. And you gotta hire goons to make sure they keep working. That just cuts into profits. We'll teach Ambrosia a thing or two about that."

Noon rolled around, and a messenger summoned Kanae to the edirashok's palace alone. But she knew better than to accept an invitation without someone accompanying her. Kanae brought Petyr and Alicia, and unsurprisingly, they were stopped at the entrance by guards, who only expected one guest.

It wasn't until Odika's steward came running did the guards put their weapons down.

"Lady Rasheena says to let them in anyway. Please, right this way." The elderly human man gestured for them to follow.

They didn't go upstairs this time around, but down instead to a basement level, through an armory in which a quartermaster was taking inventory, and finally to a wide open dungeon. Archers fired arrows across the chamber, hitting stone golems conjured from spellcasters. After a while, when the golem is shot full of arrows, it would come back to the archer who fired them and return the projectiles.

It was an archery range. Rasheena stood behind the line alongside archers, but instead of shooting arrows, she picked up throwing knives from a box and flung them. Most of her hits were centered around the chest and head.

"You have an advantage over me as a succubus, but you still bring your friends?" Rasheena turned around and grinned.

"Don't play dumb. I know you've started drinking the anti-succubus magic potions. You had your people seize whatever the Ortesians left behind. Renya and Petyr informed me what was in those crates after attacking the docks," Kanae explained.

"Just an assurance, I assure you." She shrugged, then flung another knife that struck the golem dead in the head. "I've asked you to come so I can reiterate the plan. Despite the impediment and thanks to our miners' tireless efforts, we are on track to arrive in Avanesse tomorrow morning. A few days after our arrival, the Meeting of Sands will take place at the sultan's palace. My nephew will declare war on Bravost and Elusis, and Odika will tally the names of those sympathetic to the cause. Kanae, your task is to charm or hold those edirashoks hostage. I'd like for your strongest allies to assist us in keeping the remaining Ortesian and succubi cultists at bay. The siege ends once I bring Cerberus to this edirashem."

"We're the muscle to your coup." Petyr scoffed.

"You're the key to stability and peace. Scissors that will sever the strings puppeteering my nephew. Help me, and I and Avanesse will forever be in your debt," the resistance leader pleaded.

Alicia reached into the box of knives before Rasheena did. She pulled out four and, while keeping eye-contact with the hell hound woman, threw them all at once. They each hit a separate golem in the chest, right where the heart would be if they had one. Some of the archers stopped firing to marvel at the feat.

"And where will the assassin Romira fit into this plan of yours?" Alicia asked.

"A plan B that we hopefully won't have to resort to. Now if you will excuse me. I'd like to get back to target practice. It is clear I still have much to learn by comparison," Rasheena remarked about the succubus' aim.

The steward guided them back upstairs. It was a quick visit, but they learned a lot from that short exchange. The most important one being, Rasheena started taking reversal potions. Realistically, it made sense because they were going to be up against three powerful daughters of the Queen-Mother. But Kanae had a harder time trusting Rasheena now.

"I don't expect Arnault to take this lying down. Ortesia invested a lot into seizing control of Avanesse. They won't let it go so easily. Rasheena can talk a big game all she wants, but the empire conquered half the western continent through an iron fist," Petyr explained.

"Is the big bad paladin scared?" Alicia teased.

"Mock me for all I care. I wasn't the one cowering in the dark," she fired back.

"Calm down, you two. I—" Kanae noticed Durok going down another hall. "I'm going to make some assurances of my own. You both go on ahead."

Petyr was about to protest until Alicia pushed her head. Meanwhile, Kanae took a detour and linked arms with the minotaur.

"Hello, handsome~ Where are you off to?" Kanae pressed her breasts against him.

"What are you doing here? I just came from a long conductors' meeting with Odika. There was a lot to discuss since we're nearing Avanesse." Durok sighed.

"Oh, what a coincidence! I came from a meeting with Rasheena. If you're free right now, how about a little R&R in your room?" she suggested.

Durok straightened his back. Something else must have straightened, too, as a bulge twitched behind his pants. They headed to his room in the palace, a fancy pad though not as lavish as the edirashok's bedchamber. The place was larger than most rooms, given a minotaur's stature. The ceiling was higher. His simple bed was bigger and wider. A variety of large, two-handed weapons rested on a rack by the door.

As soon as they entered, Kanae threw her arms behind Durok's neck. She got on her toes to kiss him. The two made out sloppily. A minotaur's tongue was large and thick. Kanae choked on his saliva and grew increasingly more turned on. The bulge between his legs was so hard now, she felt every twitch like a knock on her belly.

Durok picked Kanae up and threw her onto the bed. He laid his long, thick cock on her chest. The glorious thing traveled the length of her body, and the tip of his member poked out from between her breasts. She squeezed them together and licked the glans. Durok bucked his hips slowly, letting Kanae pleasure him with a boobjob.

"Your tits can put a minotauress' udders to shame!" Durok moaned.

"If you think mine are big, there's someone I'd like you to meet. But it's just the two of us right now. Please, use me as much as you want! Shoot your hot spunk all over and mark me in your scent," Kanae begged and opened her mouth.

The minotaur bellowed as he reached climax. His ejaculate spurted out in thick waves, painting Kanae's face and chest white. She swallowed every shot that landed in her mouth and swallowed them ravenously.

"Hehe. I didn't know you were so pent-up. Or maybe you're happy to see me?" Kanae licked the cum on her lips.

"Come here, you slut!" Durok turned her around and yanked her close. "What's this? You won't be needing it anymore."

"Wait, that— aahhh!" She shuddered as he pulled Cockcalibur from her pussy.

The thick rod grinded between Kanae's buttcheeks. She panted heavily, anticipating when it would finally come. Durok guided his dick to her love hole and found no resistance. Kanae was so wet, that a little thrust was all it took for her pussy to welcome it in.

Kanae drew a sharp breath. She orgasmed the second it plunged inside and saw stars. Dizziness assailed her.

"You came already? What an easy woman." Durok slapped her ass, sending ripples of pleasure that almost brought her to another climax.

"I've been… fantasizing about your dick for so long. It's so strong and manly, I'm already cumming…" Kanae cooed in a fit of delirium.

Durok picked up the pace and fucked Kanae with growing enthusiasm. She screamed into the bed, a bitch in heat. He continued spanking her ass, and with every strike, she clenched his cock even harder. It wasn't long before his hips hammered away wildly, and Kanae's eyes had rolled to the back of her head.

The entire bed shook. The floorboards creaked. A concerned servant knocked on the door to make sure everything was okay, but Durok shooed them away. Kanae bit down on the pillow as he emptied his balls into her. When he pulled out, all the cum spilled and pooled to the ground. He turned her around again, one hand cupping underneath her chin. His thumb wiped a spittle of drool and jizz from her lips, and he leaned down to kiss her.

"Mmm… chuu… Mmmhmm!" Kanae withstood him throat-fucking her with his tongue and gasped for air after they parted.

"You're staying with me all night long," Durok said.

"Heh… ehehe… Please, make a mess out of me…" she muttered half-consciously.

"With pleasure." He hoisted Kanae up from the bed, putting her in the full nelson position against his chest and her legs behind her head.

Durok stayed true to his promise and fucked Kanae the entire day. It was completely dark by the time he was done and satisfied. They laid in bed spooning. His muscular arms wrapped around her body, and his large hands cupped her breasts. Both cheeks of her ass had been spanked red and pulsed with aftershocks of pleasure.

Surprisingly, the minotaur was still rock hard. Kanae stroked his dick between her thighs and reached behind to massage his throbbing balls.

"Are you sure you can't go for another round?" Kanae tempted him.

"I'm spent… there's nothing left… and my body kind of hurts… How are you still able to go?" Durok asked nervously.

"I think it should be about time," she wondered aloud.

"For wha—"

Kanae casted Charm on Durok, placing him directly and obediently under her full control. The minotaur man released her, and she sat upright in bed. There was a glass of water on the nightstand which she gulped down.

"Durok, if they give you any more potions with pink liquid, only pretend to drink it. Keep following Odika and Rasheena's orders. I might need your help turning on them if they start acting funny," Kanae said.

"As you wish." Durok nodded.

"Good." She climbed on top of him and straddled his waist. "Now, keep fucking me until you see daylight."
