13th day of prophecy, location unknown, 10:25pm

The sudden viciousness of the church hunting force was over as quickly as it began; the attack of angels and humans was a well-timed and planned pincer maneuver that, fortunately for you, didn’t account for the presence of portals and your last glimpse of the heavy forest was amidst the gust of winds akin to a small hurricane disturbing and breaking the trees all around you as shielded Inquisitor broke through the lines to close in on your position; there’s no denying that you wouldn’t have been able to hold out in your current state of total exhaustion and, just after your bodyguard charged through, you followed her in earnest to emerge on the other side of the portal, feeling very grateful that such method of transportation doesn’t cause the strong feeling of disorientation and nausea inherent to teleportation. Here, you simply had the oversized war machine step through to the other side without a fuss…and found yourself in quite the unique environment.

An horizon completely free of any kind of landmarks or obstructions; no vegetation, no lakes, no roads, not even any kind of ruins or sign of vegetation, yet nature itself looked dead and gone, disappeared in a strange blanket of colossal sands stretching like an ocean, you felt genuinely afraid that Arnvidur would start sinking in this alien environment but your instinct was to look toward Mylen, whose form stood motionless in the darkness with small puff of smokes escaping her mouth after each ragged intake of breath; mixture of intense emotions and sudden, straining physical activity coupled with an overall exhausting day has eroded her stamina; she’s trying her best to stand straight but she’s swaying very lightly, barely registering the sea of sands and instead focusing upon the lone entrance to an obviously manmade cave… Unfortunately too small to fit your golem, it’s quite well hidden inside this nothingness.

‘’Phew man, you guys always take this long to decide anything?’’

The cheeky tone of the small demon goat pierce the momentary serenity of the night as she walk toward the entrance, resting her scythe on her shoulder while proceeding nonchalantly inside the cavern, not even bothering a backward glance toward your awkward duo, Mylen isn’t looking up at you, in fact her eyes are closed and her hands are shaking; either due to the cold or nerves you can’t say but her jaw is clenched and she’s avoiding your gaze, instead following the she-goat of her own accord while gripping her shield, not even sparing a backward glance as she investigate the set of stair descending into the earth and, finding safe, descent in earnest as you watch in silence from your elevated position on the back of the giant metal dwarf.

…that oxymoron was inevitable.
«Well then, look like you’ll be getting out. You don’t need to shut me down; I can keep going for a good spell without you, as long as you leave the key in that is»
At least that’s a good new; no need to reactivate him and face a heart attack in the near future, now all you have to worry about is your magic nerves burning up on you, creating the worst imaginable agony!

«Also, lad…»

This time, right as you were about to stand up while bidding the old dwarf goodbye, his voice resonate inside the big bubble of your cockpit with obvious seriousness, yet the gruff tone held some warmth.

«I was a bodyguard myself before finding myself in this thing, the oath a person take to protect someone oftentimes work against commonsense; doubly so if protectee and protector are in a relationship, that’s the reason why it’s always a bad, bad idea to fall in love with the one guarding your life. You can’t discard someone like that out of convenience»

‘’I didn’t...’’

You immediately interject and the grizzled dwarf let out a chuckle.

«I know, I know ya didn’t meant harm or nothing. Young’un like you two always hurt each other pretty bad, these old bones aren’t just active, ah!»

Thus, your warmachine tried his best to cheer you up and give you some advices, truly you live in a very, very unique age!

But now, mister Shieffer, do you proceed down the cave where a Demon Lord awaits healing, or do you wish to speak a little more with this friendly fellow?

>>28883897
Chat later. He's a bro and all but we should take care of business ASAP first.

>>28883897
Nah, we'd best get inside with Mylen. Help her along if need be. Thank Dwarfman though, he's cool.

>>28883897
It's probably an excellent idea to talk to Mylen. Something like this really would shake her up a lot I think.

>>28884256
This, we have a job to do before we burn out.
We can talk later (after we talk to everyone else on the list)

‘’I’ll have to leave you her in this desert, hope you don’t mind’’

«I do, but you can’t do anything about it so I’ll wish you a safe trip»

The protective bubble dissipate after his word, allowing the night air to seep in and freeze you solid; it’s a good thing you’ve got something warm thank to the fresh night air of Zipangu. Who could have guessed such a large sea of sand could be so damn cold?

«Hahaha! Go on in before you catch something!»

You don’t like desert…

--

Standing on your own two feet was actually harder than anticipated; your exhaustion is so total that the simple act of descending stair is both winding and difficult, forcing you to take the slick stone wall for support and slow your stride to one stair at a time as you descended into whatever man-made cavern it led too, all the while monitoring your soul link like an hawk; the distance has to be well beyond its effective range for Sylphis, Athena and Hadraniel feelings and emotions have been rendered completely null; the only thing you are left with is the strong impression… nay certainty that they are alive ‘’somewhere’’ up north.

When you finally emerge in the first room of this retreat, you find yourself in a relatively small hall alight with torches placed upon the numerous pillars, there’s nothing to see beside a few trickle of sands here and there and the darkness is effectively kept at bay by the licking orange flames placed on every supports; a round entrance allow vision into the next room which must act as a Nexus as, even before you entered you saw two exit leading into corridors and what looked like an open storeroom with Mylen sitting upon one of the crate, fiddling with her wooden shield and not sparing a single glance upward as you made your way closer, your steps resounding upon the ceramics or whatever material used for construction, once you made your way inside the second room you heard another set of foot coming from the eastern corridor while you examine the area a little more thoroughly, identified two more rooms closed down by heavy set of stone doors.

‘’Ah! So you’re finally here!’’

Amarantha Amisi stop her little jog, her face smiling from ear to ears as she wave at you, then toward the silent Mylen who doesn’t even spare a shrug and instead continue working on replacing her leather strap. The young chieftain look well enough despite missing one of her horn, she’s garbed in some chainmail and isn’t sporting any weapons while what skin you can observe is free of blemish, wounds or telltale sign of sickness.

‘’Well you can go anywhere you want if you want, we don’t really have much to hide in this here place. I’m here to lead you to the Demon Lord, will the two of you be coming?’’

Mylen simply shake her head silently and finish with her shield, securing it firmly upon her arm as she look at the Oni, who in turn, silently observe you.

What do you do?

>>28884768
Hug Mylen and make sure she's okay then be on our way (to the DL)

>>28884768
"It's good to see you. I don't have much time, can we go now? What do you know about the demon lords condition?

>>28884826
Am down with this.

>>28884826
I'd change that to. "It's good to see you Amisi, but as you already know we don't have much time before I burn out. What do you know about Daiyu's condition?

>>28885097

And now we wait....

‘’It’s good to see your doing well’’

The young Oni beam with a smile and nods, you felt out an unsteady breath and Mylen jump from her seat to walk beside you, standing much straighter than you and quickly force you to put an arm around her shoulders without voicing an ounce of concern, merely forcing you to use her as support, as if her grudge flew away in seconds.

‘’You really look like you could use a nice bed but… man this world doesn’t stop huh?’’

You’ve had a hell of a day that’s for certain and now isn’t the time to stop, you look at your magical nerves in your arm, the bright, purplish blue remind you of the oncoming burn out and your stomach tighten in anticipation; that kind of pain is unholy…

‘’I’m on the verge of burning So I think it’d be best if you could lead us toward Daiyu, what do you know of her condition?’’

For a moment the Oni stay silent while cupping her hands together in front of her lisps, looking at you and Mylen up and down, it doesn’t’ take long for the girl to make up her mind and nod, turning around to point down the way she came and Mylen force you to start walking; her support is making this walk much more comfortable, you can already tell that you’re leaning most of your weight upon her and she’s as solid as a rock despite exhaustion.

‘’I’ve not been here for too long, but from what I’ve seen she was always doing her best to keep her disease hidden; made me feel welcomed right as I came in, gave me my own quarter, asked my favorite food and gave it to me when I was hungry, you know the kind of thing that…. Huh’’

She let out an awkward laugh while scratching the back of her head; you can’t help but force a little smile of your own as you cross eyes with her.

To think that you almost killed her a few days ago…

‘’That wasn’t’ the answer to your question. From what I’ve seen she’s been victim of constant nausea and vomiting, letting out corruption and whatnot but the thing was never toxic; at least Belphegor never really told me or that centipede to be extra careful when she had some bad episode. Blood magic tended to help her tough, apparently my and the little girl fluids were especially good and managed to help her somewhat…. Until she grew a resistance to us, the worst was after that fight with Wilmarina tough. Daiyu literally kneeled over and puked up an unholy amount of blood while black tar ran down her eyes, ears and nostrils and she sort of fell down twitching… and hasn’t woke up since despite blood magic and parchment; we don’t have the capabilities of extracting Corruption efficiently, apparently that’s something that only the Lilims can do and... Well we aint in the Demon Realm for a reason I guess’’

That’s a pretty violent illness; you know that Tsu has been suffering from something similar, especially when she summons the heroes. It obviously has to do with corruption more than the demonic throne itself…

As the girl talked and you went on with your thought, you walked into the very end of the compound, passing through a few commune room with open storeroom and even an armory and kitchen oozing fresh air from a good supply of ices, there’s no doubt about the utility of this place; it’s somewhere to hide for a good long while out of the eyes and hairs of everyone.

‘’Apparently you can cure her with a soul link somehow… Sure hope that’ll work. Oh were here’’

The entire walk took less than five minutes; your little troupe stop in front of a room that look just about the same as all the others you’ve passed; circular in nature and closed down a big set of round stone door with an opening big enough to fit an ogre, Amarantha put her hand on the handles and turn, grunting slightly as she push them inward, flexing some of her peachy muscles and you finally gain some insight into Daiyu resting place; and feel immediately struck by strong corrupted that force you to close your eyes as it send a strong jet of excitation all over your body.

>’’Hohoho’’

It’s a very, very strange feeling; mixture of disgust and anticipated joy, barely restrained urge of wanting to flee and jump to devour your fill, the moment you finally regain your wits something else happen that… well in retrospect, ti was quite simply inevitable.

‘’Oi calm-‘’

Mylen finally found the care to speak but she was visible interrupted when your exposed flank became victim of a forceful hug that would off, without a doubt, send you crashing down on the floor if it weren’t for the leathery wing of your faithful bodyguard keeping your back nice, straight and balanced; you felt some prickle and tug as a pair of «things» kept tugging you under the chin, which changed to your lisps as you were forced to look down as you heard a ‘’Nyuuuuu’’ from this rude invader of private space hell-bent on squeezing you hard enough to make breathing an herculean feat.

That’s not even mentioning all the strong grasp from numerous, numerous little legs all over your hips and legs; not even a Lamia could trap you so effectively and she’s not even rolled around you!

You only see a head of long, dark purplish hair and can’t resist the urge to pet in between the antennas, eliciting a groan of bliss; a quick survey of your bodyguard had her roll her eyes as she struggled to keep you standing.

But the Demon Lord is in the room, sleeping on a queen-sized bed, hands locked together, eyes closed and her wings outstretched while trickle of dark tar continuously fell down the corners of her mouths, her two nostrils and eyes; her abdomen barely looked like it was breathing and beside her, the goat demon kept her face clean with clean clothes as often as she could…

Her time is obviously nearing its end.

What do you do?

Well we need to form a soul link to save her, we also need to use an item we got from dear old mom as well.

Pet Bletsia abit more. "It's good to see you too."

But theres something more urgent here. Stand up properly and go to Dayiu's side.

Can we do a soul link with one person unconscious?

>>28886142

Yep, but it depend entirely if that person implicitely trust you or not.

You've got a few options open now.

Try to do the soul link first, break the statue to heal her, suck out the excess of corruption then heal...

>>28886030
Make sure the squatter remembers his deal with us to NOT fuck us over on this one. After that use the statue and link with her.

We could just let her die, but that ain't our MO and we don't want a not-Grail War breaking out right now. By the time we'd be able to focus on making Tsu the victor Deruella would be prepared for us.

>>28886030
I guess it's time to bust out that wooden carving that 'Ol Momma Earth gave us.

>Are you sure you want to do this?
Well, sure. Unless our Mother deliberately wants to fuck everything over. I mean, we ARE using the artifact correctly right?

>>28886384
Should probably try to get rid of the excess corruption first.

>>28886384
>‘’You should use this when you make a soul link with Daiyu; otherwise, she won’t survive her illness. You’ll have to break it to make it work…But it'll buy you precious time."

So, um, can we get some clarification on that? Use it then link or link then use it?

>>28886506

That mean eating it, but it's a good idea. Remove the pus of the wound and what not.

We all know what eating corurption means however.

>>28886556

She meant to use it when you form the soul link in order to heal Daiyu faster and effectively, the link is no longer strong enoug hto properly heal her now that she's in a coma.

>>28886614

Soul link, drain of corruption. Siegfried compared her condition to Tsu, the two are very similar in that regard because the ysuffer from a body ''desych'' with the constant stream of corruption being expunged in there.

So I need to know for sure what you guys want t odo first.

>>28886658
Link first

theirs no way we can attempt a propper cleansing right now. Not in the stae were in.

>>28886658
Draining first and getting her awake seems to make the most sense. Especially since soul link needs her cooperation of some kind IIRC.

‘’It’s good to see you too…’’

You run your hand a little harder upon the colored scalp of the Oomukade, the girl is hugging you very closely and your hand provoke a little twitch of her large antennas that continue poking your face, her numerous little legs dig into your clothes and most of her weight has to be supported, the girl keep rubbing her face onto your chest and your touch cause a few sniffles to escape as trickle of tears glisten in the corner of her eyes and fall, quickly dried by your dirty leathery armor.

And then Mylen goes and put her hand near the overwhelmed girl ear, squeezing slightly and provoking her to look toward your bodyguard in surprise who, as always, is keeping an interdict and perfectly controlled, dare we say emotionless face. Her blood red gaze fall with authority upon the purple pupils of this precious, very precious girl.

‘’You can hug him all you want later’’

It’s impossible to stay frigid in front of such earnestly! Still, Bletsia doesn’t seem eager to let go, but once she cross your eyes and see you nod she let go reluctantly and start searching behind you with her eyes, obviously searching for something or, more precisely, someone.

‘’Hadraniel and Rhy are doing fine, don’t worry’’

She respond with an excited ‘’Hmm!’’ while rubbing her wet face, her clothe having changed from Kimono to a pair of cotton undershirt and long sleeved, black coat that doesn’T mesh too well with her colors.

‘’Right then, Mylen you can let me go now, I’ve got to do this’’

‘’You know…’’

Mylen jaw tighten slightly as she look toward the comatose green haired succubus sleeping like the dead upon the large mattress, the entire form of Daiyu tug your heartstring; her sickness is beyond grave as it ate away her consciousness so much and yet, constant black tar leak from her face… Such a vulnerable Demon Lord.

‘’…I’m not able to bring myself to hate her, even with the wrong caused of her daughters’’

‘’That’s because you’re a good person’’

That provoke a dry, short chuckle as she look down and shake her head.

‘’Just go do your thing, we’ll sort out our mess later’’

--

Bletsia quickly took Mylen place as you walked toward the comatose succubus, not that you particularly needed it but her presence was more than welcomed after such a long time apart; Amarantha and Belphegor were also standing beside her in solemn silence, painting a picture of knights waiting upon their lord bedside. The corruption inside her could easily be felt; to describe it as thick would be an understatement. It mired every single part of her being, filled her entire body like a rotten bog of swamp and what was let out was merely a surplus of poison, your understanding of corruption is thorough and instinctive thank to this little Beast of yours and you finally understand why the tar incessantly cleaned by Belphegor isn’t corruption per say; what remain of Daiyu mind is actively fighting to kill the poison inside the liquid.

‘’Don’t fuck this up’’

Your inner voice is directed toward the beast, the creature let out a chuckle as its ethereal form travel up and down the length of your head, taunting and annoying you with its movements

>‘’If I did, we’d both die. Her condition is that serious’’

So be it. You look toward Belphegor, the little demonic goat look much, much more tired than earlier; the light of the room allow you to properly see the bags under her eyes and her previously peachy healthy ski look pale, her movement are stiff, lacking inherent dexterity despite the immense care she take in cleaning up the Demon Lord.

‘’First thing first, I need to make a soul link before I do anything else. It’ll allow me to properly measure the length of the illness and proceed on the other steps of the healing so… I can only hope she trust me enough for this’’

You bring your palm toward her forehead, feeling her damp skin brought constant fever, Daiyu doesn’t move an inch at your magical probing, to identify the soul and peel it away from Focus isn’t exactly an easy task even if harmless; everyone if conscious of their souls, mages doubly so which is why projecting it onto someone else can be very hazardous indeed… but this is how a Soul Link; the magical entry of one soul upon another to form an ethereal eternal knot impossible to sever by distance and conflicts.

It’s a very hard feeling to describe; all of your previous soul links were instigated by the woman themselves while here you try your best to do with an unconscious person! But it’d seem that Daiyu Jawahir, Demon Lord of Monsters and longest live liege to date in history, has more than enough to back up her claim because what you sent as permission, the outstretched personal hand of your stained, yet hopeful soul is met with an equally fearful force; just like two hands interlocking together the brilliant strings forming the personal whole that is Siegfried Shieffer and Daiyu Jawahir meet in bashful probing in a lake of corruption, one immune to the effects, the other weakened by the bestial state of this tar, this constant pus leaking out incessantly like a wound in the soul.

‘’Aaah…’’

You can’t help but let out a voice, your heart start beating fast and you feel a shower of cold sweat running along your back and front as you close your eyes and rub your own forehead, sweat pouring down your face. You start to see flash of images, picture of events long extinguished the bygones events of an overeager demonic lady who sat upon the throne with good intentions and an equally strong amount of narcissism.

Plagues ravaging the underground dwarven Kharaks while the remaining population simply watches on, continuing their festivity as the very foundation of their proud, and honor bound society disappear right around them.

Elves disappearing into the demonic realm after them, too, fall prey to a biological outbreak; corruption running rampant and unchecked upon a specie born without an inherent resistance breaks apart the very society that she wished to change; yet conserve. Gone are the wondrous works of natural art of the hanging city folks , no longer will the empathy of the elves push them toward love as lust created a defunct people that, just like the dwarves, live in filth and die in droves to the worst of enemies; diseases.

The last image is that of a silhouette in armor, a man with his back turned walking forward into the darkness, then disappearing into a fog of darkness.

‘’Damn!’’

You crumble… or would off if it weren’t for the little Oomukade, Bletsia manage to maneuver your fall so you land on the bed as your recuperate your missing breath, your thorax feel constricted, your throat almost choke on your saliva but the soul link is there and you can feel the corruption, the surplus of it leaking out into the very soul of the Demon Lord, like a surplus of pus into a wound it linger and fester, creating a most unholy of cocktail brought on by a broken throne barely able to put out corruption anymore.

>’’That woman is still conscious? What the hell…’’

She’s protecting you of the harmful effect of her own little brand of putrid self-corruption

What do you do?

Haha oh wow, so the Demon Lord's husband ran out on her?

>>28888520
I thought we had to break the carving so that she'd survive the soul link process?

Well whatever. Produce the carving, hand it to the Belphegor. Tell her to start the procedure, break that if Daiyu's strength starts waning.

>>28888520
Ok, so we're in the process of the link right? And dear old mommy said to use it during the link right? Because if so I do believe it's time to give her a boost by using the statue, she won't be able to hold out against that unholy tide in her current state.

C'mon Daiyu, need you to live through it, we need this!

Also, as a aside, don't any of her daughters like her enough to have offered assistance or is the arch whore Deruella dangling a Sword of Damocles over their head? Because she'd totally do that, given the strength of her forces and the Hero level Fallen she has under her command. Plus utter dominance over corruption I assume.

NTR isn't about stealing away someone's partner, that's cuckolding. NTR is about empathizing with the person whose loved one is being taken, whether it be lover, friend or even parent. It's about feeling their loss in your gut as the thief bonds with their victim in a way the loser cannot.

I do declare that it's probably not lying about the soul link killing us and thus it, man's got priorities, and they involve living to the 30th day so he can boot us out of the driver's seat. On the other hand I need to have one thing established, we're in the process of the link yes? That matters a lot, because if not he can just nom Daiyu like he tried to back with Amisi and just boot us out afterward, likely channeling this fine fucker as he does it too.

Would like to avoid that, at all costs.

Rolled 1

>>28889263

The statue hold, as your mother described it ''the power of life itself''

It will regenerate the wound and give Daiyu much, much needed energy and healing her very soul, placing a balm and offering recovery to what was a several decade old ilness that grew rose and worse.

Said illness let out alot of corruption, ie, pus.

I'll roll for statue or draining, but if you guys come to a consensus, I'll go with your choice.

>>28889391
Heal the wound, then suck up the corruption.

>>28889391
That sounds like the statue would solve this entire issue with or without us eating corruption.

Break the goddamn statue already. If we're lucky the backflow of it will even keep us running for a bit longer.

Suck the corruption out of her

Imma go with this, if that still isn't enough we can try eating some of the shit. Still, would like to ask what that evil bastard thinks. Don't trust him, but it seems he gains more knowledge as time passes somehow, might cough something up but as always, take info gathered from him with a hefty side of salt.

>>28889391
Do both.

We ease the strain on the DL, whilst simultaneously bolstering her strength!

I think its compounding the issue.

It's obviously highly corruptive and dangerous to her and anyone else.

Thing is most treatments start with cleaning out the wound. Clearing pus and disinfecting it. I see the tar as the same thing, clean it off first before we begin the healing.

>>28889782
Wait... Doesn't eating involve a mode switch, as in dropping focus in order to enable consumption? Because if so do that would be bad, would suck to be hit with massive burnout damage while linking.

>>28889782
The problem is that our bodies literally cannot take much more strain. We're running on fumes here. The corruption sucker is going to look for any chance to boot us out of the driver's seat early I bet.

Look, normally I would agree. Clean out the wound then heal.

But the fact of the matter is this.

This thing is basically life and light energy right?

I'm betting cash money on the fact that it'll clean the wound at the same time it heals it.

>>28889856
AND THIS!

IF WE HAVE TO DROP FOCUS TO FEED WE CANNOT DO IT! NO WAY NO HOW!

>>28889782
Here's the thing: The Soul Link is supposed to strengthen her to survive the healing procedure. It's not a cure in and of itself. However, the process of making the link is draining in its own right. The statue was created to keep her alive during the linking.

>>28889880

You don't drop Focus, but you can't cast spell while eating either.

>>28889894
>>28889971

The statue in your inner pocket is small enough to fit in your palm, you took it back when you were in your homestead while investigating Mana room, a small little memento to keep close to heart as you went on your journey; now it became something else entirely and, to your regret, you’ll have to break it in order to unleash it’s magic, it’s as if Mother Earth doesn’t want anything to remember her time on this planet… but you can’t bring yourself to begrudge her.

As you take out the small, half-finished statue in the effigy of a knight out of your pocket, you hear Mylen take a sharp intake of breath as she recognize the object while Amarantha and Belphegor look at you incredulously.

‘’The Soul Link hasn’t formed quite yet, it takes some time to create and effort too, something Daiyu probably can’t spare anymore so… I’ve brought this. A gift from a precious person, it’s why I can cure her in the first place.’’

‘’Who?’’

The little demon-goat ask, peering curiously at the very normal looking object, it disappear inside your palms as you hold it in both hands, ready to snap it in two.

‘’That’s going to stay a closely guarded secret’’

A dull crunch follow as the statue snap in two in your hands, liberating the gift; a small sprite of jet gold fly away into the air, free from its cage, the ball of light morph into a bright, magnificent golden butterfly that slowly, ever so slowly, hover down toward the sleeping Demon Lord who, even now, is straining under the effort of the blossoming soul link, she let out a small cough that eject some corruption on her lisps which of course, motivate the demon to clean it, but you stop her and observe while putting a hand on the succubus stomach, shifting your Focus into Eater, allowing the Beast some freedom as the brilliant veins in your body darken, growing into a mish-mash of black-blue while your fingers start tingling, almost sinking in the flesh of the gorgeous maiden to taste the liquid meat below.

The butterfly land upon the green-haired woman nose and its long wings suddenly shrivel, balls up and its entire length shrink into a small, small ball that enter her nostril and a few seconds later, the Soul Link knot without problem and you let out a cough as the disgusting amount of corruption is transferred to you; the amount is beyond staggering, not even the lingering disgustingness of the Cursed Swamp rival the concentrated disease inside the Demon Lord who, now, is letting out some cough as Life itself repair her very soul and the damage of her body, but cannot act to remove the lake of darkness completely; some of it evaporate but all of its power is used to repair the soul and body of Daiyu Jawahir.

Then… the Succubus open her eyes; a bright golden pupil floating inside a sea of utter dark, oil-like substance leak from it in tears of jet black and then the very air around you thicken; magic burst forth from the sick and activate a certain spell you’ve grown accustomed too. Gravity inside the room change, the very air gain a consistency of concrete and all the girls find themselves thrown on the grown, struggling to form words and movement as the immense pressure root them on the spot. Bletsia seem to have dropped a particularly well made piece of parchment while Mylen is struggling on one knee, literally inching herself forward despite the prodigious magical strength of the green-haired demon who, even now, hasn’t budged an inch.

You, on the other hand, feel perfectly fine; in fact the magic is simply fueling you by the seconds.

More like the reformed embodiment of Lust, Debauchery, and Excess. She's now basically an exceedingly nice version of Slaanesh. Her old self was him/her when he was feeling merciful for some reason.

I am confused on what to do, eating some of it seems the obvious choice but we don't know if ol' Beasty won't go for a full drain (which will kill her dead) and use the power gained to give us da boot. On the other hand your method may work but it could set her off somehow. Decisions decisions...

>>28890921
Oye Vey it's Mylen all over again. Fuck.

>>28890959
Yeah no. Especially now that she's linked with us. If someone we're linked to dies we get a massive amount of feedback damage. Hell, we felt Athena's amputation from half an island away, imagine how much more that would have hurt if we were closer, of if she died on us.

In other words, point blank death is gonna hit us pretty fucking hard. Might even be lethal given how we're on the edge of that state right now (or soon will be, once focus gets dropped we're gonna be able to sympathize with Supes getting slammed by the "Agony Matrix").

In the loops we always died, that was the trigger for the next loop to begin. In all the loops a lasting peace was never established AND we *always* died at some point as well.

In going onto the "Alternative" path, we have opened up an opportunity to both establish peace and survive, but there are now no more resets. We fuck this up now, it stays fucked up, forever.

So, in short, don't fuck this up people.

>>28891333
Yes, but obviously I'm not suicidal. Our death will count, but we will still try to make it unnecessary. After all, a man going to war expecting to die will do so, a man expecting to survive just might make it back home in one piece (or missing a few, but hey, still alive).

Incorrect. The resets are entirely the purview of Mother Earth. Should Siggy fail, she will reset, and the opportunity here will be lost for a time.

>>28891410
>In going onto the "Alternative" path, we have opened up an opportunity to both establish peace and survive
That was if we stayed on the path that Mother Gaia laid out for us, the one calculated to succeed and have us both survive and have a lasting peace.
We're not on that path anymore. We've been explicitly told in-character we're not on that path anymore. We're now on one where all of Gaia's predictions and calculations have more or less crashed and burned, and the only thing she can tell us is that we have a very good chance of dying, but at least we'll have lasting peace this time around.

No plan survives first contact with the enemy, that's operating 101. Had we stayed true to her path something would have come up that she hadn't accounted for.

‘’I know corruption strengthen you considerably, but we don’t have a choice do we…?’’

It feel strange to see this aura all around you; even the mattress of the bed is pressing down from this unseeing, all-encompassing force, the girls grunts at uneven intervals until finally, Mylen muscle give out and she grumble, looking at you in a mixture of surprise and anger while poor Bletsia whimper on the ground, Amarantha is the only one on her knees, battling with gravity to half-crawl toward the centipede.

‘’SIEG!’’

Your hand had already sunk into the belly of the Demon Lord and you almost jeer back in sheer, utter disgust; you and the beast aren’t at each other throat for mutual gain. It wants to eat this stuff to grow strong, and you want to cure Daiyu completely of her illness, but this…. This lake of tar, of putrid, disgusting smelly black pus doesn’t have ANYTHING comparable in the world. It’s downright beyond comprehension; a festering liquid left in a disgusting bog and ignored out of necessity, the hole creating it, the ropes of nerves that strayed and weakened from the constant influence of the Demonic Throne had grown strong again but this remaining juice…

Not like that’s going to help. Having to nourish yourself with what is essentially rotten meant isn’t good for the health, but this creature is able to process corruption unlike anything before seen on this world; the beast will be fine, it’s the taste that’s going to give nausea and once your hand; now touching the crunchiest part of corruption, squeeze the Beast lurch forward and grasp the liquid in its jaw, creating an audible, hungry wet smacks. The mastication was strong, feverish and most of all, starved; it had absolutely nothing in common with the worm-like entity of your precious purges, here the consciousness of the creature worked to lap and completely gorge itself on an uncountable amount of rotten meat, provoking yelp and coughing from the Succubus who, upon seeing you, narrows her eyes to increase her defense which, of course, only work to make you feel better as your magical nerves absorb the magic.

‘’Aaaha…you…what’’

It doesn’t seem like her eyes are recognizing the world, she close them and start rubbing her palm all over her face as you try to leash in the creature that seem to have forgotten the rotten taste of this profane juice, it lap, snap, crunches, eat… until the lake become a puddle and you are forced to yank it out, the Beast very consciousness seem to have disappeared as you catch a glimpse of its true self outside your body.

Your entire right hand morphed into a fleshly mound of stinking dark pus with innumerable eyes and mouths full of razor sharp teeth that keep on flapping and clapping, oozing a disgusting rotten smell until it disappear very, very fast back in your body, fleeing your consciousness and seeking refuge in the lair of your shared soul…

Said succubus had already roused, in fact she simply pushed herself up, stretching for a good 10 seconds, earning herself a few satisfied cracks, provoking a few happy wing flaps as she, then, proceed to open her golden eyes to look at everyone so closely packed together.

‘’Hmm…’’

‘’Is anyone hungry?’’

She says, dismissing the atmosphere entirely… only to be tackled by the Oomukade.

Probably an effect of the Throne, the golden eyes are an indicator of one who is the Demon Lord (probably why Tsu has them as well, being a fake DL).

They were probably a deep, glowing red before she ascended, and you can bet her daughters probably have those instead of gold.

Amarantha has taken an obvious interest in your once mutated arm, the Oni isn’t exactly glaring but her gaze is trained right on you, even following it intensely when you hover left and right, completely to everything around her while Belphegor and Bletsia are busying themselves with the once dying Demon Lord, one obviously hugging her close while the other was making sure she didn’t sport any kind of sudden, mean relapse which, given her fin with the Oomukade, was thankfully out of the picture as she hugged the girl in return with a large smile on her face, then opening her eyes to look at you and Mylen in turn.

‘’The way to a man love is his stomach yes? I can make a meeean Frankfurter~’’

Oh dear.

‘’Do you want one now?’’

She says, trying to untangle herself from the dark purpled haired girl without success, her demonic aid let out a sigh, and then shakes her aid.

‘’We don’t have much to cook to begin with, much less sausages!’’

‘’Hmm…’’

Those golden eyes of hers trail down to your nether and Mylen move to cover your front, glaring at the Demon Lord and flapping her wings in warning.

‘’Aawww~ I’ll feed you something else then’’

While speaking she reach inside the clothes of Bletsia who yelp and gasp at the touch, the adventurous, bold hand of Daiyu grope its way into an inner pocket where she take out a piece of written, magical parchment, cupping it in between her fingers while the Oomukade let out a groan, glaring disapprovingly at the Demon that simply smiled in return while flapping her head wing.

‘’Flame’’

She says in a clear voice, embracing Focus, her veins lighting up in pure, jet black as the piece of paper burns in her hand to form a small fire, isolated in the middle of her palm, she approach it to her lisps and blow gently, creature a small shower of splinters that fly toward you, disappearing into your skin.

‘’I’m forcing you to eat your fill, I don’t want you burning up even if you have a masochistic streak, little boy~’’

…It’s working, that small magical, constant stream of fire is being eaten by your body and slowly giving you much, much needed energy. Mylen, for her part, simply hug you closer.

Even if she can prevent us from burning out AS BADLY, the fact that our nerves have been through the ringer is without debate.

We -really- appreciate it, and will gladly eat a meal cooked by her later. But we have bigger fish to fry. EG: we need to get back to Zipangu and get our shit together.

"Thank you Miss Daiyu, I know all too well the consequences of going beyond my limit. So, what do you want first, the good news or the bad news?"

There's pretty much no way we'll be able to avoid mentioning who we're gunning for forever, might as well get it all out now. Also, have to relay to her who just got their hands on a shiny new toy that'll make ending her all too easy.

>>28893431
Yay! That gives us another second chance as that puts total burnouts this month back to one! Sadly, we're probably going to be back in this spot again before it's over, and then we will feel it. Horrible, horrible, blinding, death wish inducing PAIN!!!

Also, didn't the Baphomet promise us a kiss if we saved her? I mean, I'm not much into lolis, but I do wonder how good she is at it. Oh who am I kidding, I'm a perv who wants sexy things happening.

>>28893871
You might not get a say in the matter anon. Remember who we're talking here. If she really gets down to full on seduction it'll take a miracle to say no to it. She's got it all down to a science, and with the Soul Link, she'll know exactly how to press all of Siggy's turn ons in the perfect way.

She's Sex incarnate, if she wants it, she gets it, and she never has to resort to rape. By the time she's done, they're begging for it.

I do not believe she has a "frankfurter" dude. She was making innuendo. By "make him a frankfurter" she meant "give him the most amazing head he's ever had", possibly, gotta love double entendres.

Oh, fine.

According to INH, when Siggy dies, Emeth collapses like a puppet with its strings cut. She reactivates some time later, but she's regressed to an earlier developmental state.

She behaves as though Siggy is alive. She holds hands with the air, and when someone asks her a question she looks to the side, as if checking with someone there. When told that Siegfried is dead, she tilts her head to the side and points to the empty space next to her. "Siggy!" she says. She spends the rest of her days at peace with her beloved air-Siegfried.

>The cruelty will still be mostly your fault, face it.

But I want someone else to suffer the false accusation of unfounded cruelty.

When a succubus says she's hungry, it means something quite different than when you and I say it.

Personally I wonder what would have happened if we'd evacuated the room and kissed Daiyu. Happy endings for sure, along with happy beginning, middle, prologue and intermission.

And Mylen outside listening and imagining it was her.

>>28894131
May have been lying but I gotta admit, that's pretty good on the suffering meter. So sad, poor girl never really moves on from the loss. It's the Normal End of HF all over again.

>>28894201
I think we pulled what was the closest thing to a good ending out of this one. And yes, I know full good and well what it means. She'd feed us, then expect us to "feed" her... with a heaping helping of Vitamin "D".

>>28894234
I'm paraphrasing but it's canon for a Siggy death end. I'd post the exact words, but the textfile that I stored the chatlog in is corrupt.

Where we are now, Mylen is more in need of Siggy's magic weapon than Daiyu.

>>28894349
I haven't convinced him to tell me what happens to the other Soul Link girls. I do know that if Siggy were killed in front of Tsu, it would cause a mental breakdown that would lead to Tsu seizing the Demonic Throne and obliterating the countries the person who did the deed and ordered it came from, as well as the countries of everyone associated with them, and then every country associated with those countries until the world is ashes and her.

I don't see her losing it to that degree. The person who did it, however, would face an eternal hell of the most exquisite torment. Never allowed to die or pass on, their soul bound and tortured forevermore.

Also, if she did go apeshit like that she'd lose the hero summon option as they'd conclude she's gone mad and would attempt to terminate her with extreme prejudice. Even Batrion would do it, tears in his metaphorical eyes of course but with one swing of his mace it'd all be over for her. Plus that would cause the world to unite against her and send their very best kill teams in to deal with the problem. Without heroes to fall back on, it's very possible she'd lose that confrontation.

>>28894626
Not sure that can happen again now without some horrible consequence. It'd be like the "reset" option in Sora no Otoshimono. Very sad, once you get to that chapter, as well as fucking horrifying. She might hit that emotional nadir though.

It's true that the big nations of the world have the means to kill our dear, non hero-summonable Tsu.

Also for al ittle tidbit of information, since Watashiwa is a lewd man I told him that Batrion would literally punch a hole in reality out of pure MAD if there ever happened a ntr/rape scenario with Tsu

There are iteration specific reasons for her overreaction. Siggy entering a formal relationship, the emotional roller coaster of his betrayal (and presumed reconciliation), Mother Earth ceasing contact, and a few other things that don't come to mind.

In a normal situation, Tsu would observe the timeline for a little longer then trigger a reset. Here she'd be afraid that the resets were over and panic.

>>28894772
The entire point of NTR is that they enjoy the betrayal though. Batrion would be ruining her happiness!

>>28894863

Batrion is also her adoptive father and will set her straight.

Seriously you DO NOT FUCK with the daugtheru of the strongest, greatest paladin the world has ever seen. He held the ENTIRE demonic army solo for 3 days.

Saw that one coming from MILES away! Good thing I really, really love me some Fluffy Tails and I like her character in general so I was going to vote to continue the romance with her when we get back regardless. Self Preservation was only a tertiary concern of mine. It popped up in my head but only after I thought about the situation for a while.

Probably gonna end up on the couch for a few days but hey, she'll get over our treachery quickly after we bring back a living Amarantha with us (which will promptly mend the bridges the Oni likely burned with her). In all, we're in a pretty good spot.

Now, my future plans. First, head becomes acquainted intimately with dirt as we beg all of our wonderful girls for forgiveness. What we did was a major dick move, gotta let em' know we're really fucking sorry.

Then, fully debug Emeth ASAP, need that golem army for when we assault Orion. We roll up with a monstergirl army and the battle with his forces goes south (for him) he blows the fucking nuke to turn the tide.

With golems that won't be affected by it he'd consider using the bomb there to be a total waste as it wouldn't do shit to the enemy forces that are knocking on his door and would ensure sub optimal dispersion. In essence, he'd be fucking his own plans over. I don't think he's keen on that. Besides, I bet he'd relish the challenge. The concept of Strife would love a good, close fight.

We also need to do a scan of the upper echelons with Daiyu. Her daughter's agents have proven to be very adept at infiltration, need to purge those elements ASAP. Also, warn her about the knife, that thing's nasty.

Then, of course, locate the damn whore and introduce her to Batrion and/or a Soul Blast to the dome. One hit, one kill.

Good plan, you've forgot about the incoming reinforcement and Daiyu wishing asylum in Zipangu so you'll need to convince the fluff of that, too.

This arc will delve into the demonic war 30 years prior to this one and maaaaay very well introduce a pair of character that might tip the balance even more...

Hopefully I'll be there to try my hand at a convincing argument. She, and by extension, the forces/intel she'd be able to provide, would be invaluable. Hesitant to rely on a widespread demon deployment though, that could fuck over Lex's plans for peaceful resolution. Church officials may be able to be made cool with the fluffy, I highly doubt they'd be cool with demons anytime soon.

Those reinforcements will be rather decisive, but they're still at least a week away. Gotta hold out until then, hopefully a certain angelic asshole is dealt with by the time they arrive.

Forgot to mention the freeing of Radiance as well if at all possible. She is part of my plan of dealing with Orion himself, only a few Heroes or Hadraniel and Her together have a chance of taking him down in a fight without anyone dying or being severely injured. The role of the rest of the group will be holding off his elite guard and the reinforcements he's bound to summon during the fight, it'll be like a raid boss in an MMO!

We'll likely have to leave Daiyu on the sidelines though, he sees her deep inside the compound he blows the nuke regardless of other considerations because that high value of a target is more than worth wasting a nuke over.

And you have mentioned a romantic rival will be introduced sometime soon. Can't wait to see what kind of character he is. Only thing I know for sure is that he'll love him some monstergirls.

>>28895257
Said character has been mentioned only once during Ahriman arc.

Also the reinforcement from the mainland come in on the 15/16 Day and we are now Day 13... muuuuuch sooner than you thought my friend and the situatio nregarding Radiance will be put in the limelight in due time, which isn't now, unless you guys REALLY push for it but that'll probably derail the immediate problems that need fixing.

Auspicious news indeed. Still, must play this smart, much as Lex is avoiding pushing Zipangu into an absolute corner, we must avoid doing the same to the church. After all, they have the ultimate desperation weapon, don't want to make detonating it prematurely look too appealing or it'll happen.
