The Hero Became a Succubus, and the Only Way to Level is to… What?!

Kanae awoke in the morning and stretched her arms until every joint popped. She turned to the side, expecting to find Mitty. Instead, it was Minestra Val'doun lying there and staring into her eyes. The herzulith was wide awake.

"Where's Mitty? Shouldn't you be with Claudia to interrogate the Ortesian sergeant?" Kanae glared at the invading demon.

"Don't worry. The goblin is fine. I merely set him aside to make room for myself. Claudia also has it handled with her unsightly instruments. Now… What would you say to a morning kiss?" Minestra puckered her lips.

"Esta!" she shouted, and the drakeling knight entered the tent in a hurry.

Esta saw the herzulith, dragged her out of bed, and tossed her outside. She clapped her hands like it was trash that had just been thrown into the garbage. Satisfied, she bowed before returning to her post at the entrance.

Something rustled nearby. Kanae got up and shivered to a cold draft blowing in. The tent was fluttering behind a changing screen. Minestra must have pulled the stake up to crawl in. She threw on a light robe and noticed a wooden trunk wriggling. She opened it and found Mitty inside, bound, gagged, and rightfully peeved.

"Mitty?!" Kanae quickly cut him free. "Sorry! I only just woke up. How long were you in there?"

"I'm not sure… Probably an hour? I woke up earlier when Minestra snuck in, but she had enough arms to cover my mouth and tie me up at the same time! That demon… she's dangerous…" Mitty shuddered.

Well, Kanae was glad Minestra didn't go around eliminating the competition entirely…

"You remember what you're doing today, right?" Kanae asked as they were getting dressed.

"Yes! I'm leading a harpy squadron to search for any signs of Ortesian forces sneaking by. I won't let you down! Is there anything else you wanted me to do?" Mitty glanced up with an eager to please smile that stoked the kindling under her honeypot.

"Isn't it obvious?" She embraced the goblin, sandwiching his head between her breasts. "I want you to come back safe and sound so we can have sex all night again~"

Mitty's green complexion took on a shade of red, and Kanae felt the heat from his face on her chest. When she let him go, he had to waddle out with the outline of a massive hobgoblin erection down one leg.

Alone in the tent, a dull pain nibbled at the pits of her stomach. Hunger. Kanae's mana was full from the numerous enthralled sex slaves that sustained her. She and Mitty also fucked to their hearts' content last night, too. Yet an unsated urge left her peckish for more. Kanae put that feeling to the back of her mind and emerged from the tent. It seemed Minestra was gone, and only Esta remained to stand guard.

"Let's check on our friend the sergeant, shall we?" Kanae suggested.

Sergeant Ored, whom they kidnapped last night, found himself in the hospitality of Claudia, the Mistress of Pain. Screams and shouts erupted from her tent even as they approached from afar. Kanae thought she was going to kill the man, but when they entered the tent…

"Unhand me this instant! Ahh! Keep your disgusting, uncouth hands off me! Foul demons… I shan't be tempted by your wiles— Eeek!" Sergeant Ored had his limbs tied to each corner of the bedpost, writhing in apparent ecstasy.

Claudia, with a bored Minestra next to her, watched from a couch while two succubi dripped hot wax onto the sergeant's chest. The only one enjoying it was the Mistress of Pain, who whirled a glass of wine in her hand.

"Are we torturing him or getting him off?" Kanae complained on the way in.

"Both! What does it look like? You're here just in time, Kanae. We've been edging him all night. He's on the verge of exploding," Claudia explained.

"What for? We need information, not his jizz!" She put a hand to her face.

The daughter of the Queen-Mother jumped off the couch and threw her arms up in exasperation.

"This cattle cannot be charmed. Clearly, he imbibed an anti-succubus magic potion! I've been waiting for the effects to end all might. What do you expect me to do? Threaten him with death? He cannot answer our questions as a dessicated corpse!" Claudia groaned.

"Now, do you see why I am unneeded here?" Minestra asked with a sigh. "I offered to beat it out of him, but Claudia repeatedly scoffs at my help."

"You keep your four hands to yourself, Minestra. This is the first high elven cattle we've wrangled, and I want a taste as soon as his protections wear off." She patronizingly poked the herzulith's chest with her tail.

Ticked off, Minestra tried to snatch Claudia's tail. The succubus was too fast. She played with Minestra like her tail was a feather toy for cats and slapped the herzulith across the face. They butted heads again with enough force that rocked the ground.

"If you're looking for pain, then let's find out how many of my fists can fit in your cunt!" Minestra growled.

"You'll wish you had more after I'm done with you!" Claudia snarled back.

"Will you two… give it a rest already?" Furious, Esta lifted them up by the throats.

They tapped out on her arm, and Kanae nodded motioned to let them down. When Esta did, they dropped to the ground gasping for breath.

"Hahh… Asphyxiation play… is nice, too…" Claudia croaked.

"Sergeant Ored, is the one who attacked us last night really the Knight of Gold?" Kanae asked, walking up to the high elven man's bedside.

"Heh! Terrified, aren't you? One of the empire's mightiest, a champion of light and piety! The Knight of Gold. Mount all you can against him, but it won't be enough. Mark my words, for he will deliver divine reckoning upon your sinful state… for he is c… com…. coming— aahhh!" Ored arched up to a large glob of hot wax landing on his chest. He fired spurts of cum into the air, some going high enough to hit the tent ceiling.

Two Commonwealth infantrymen suddenly barged in and collapsed on the floor.

"Queen Kanae… the Ortesian forces are advancing from the south… High Priestess Edina is out there holding them back, but… she won't hold out for longer!" one of them exclaimed.

Oh, no. Edina and Lapis volunteered to station themselves between both camps to act as a buffer. There were several attacks through the night, but they successfully repelled them. If they were having trouble now, then…

"Haha! You hear that, you sinful wenches? Your time has come! Rue the day you ever crossed the Ortesian Emp— oomph?!"

Kanae stuffed a ball gag into Sergeant Ored's mouth.

"If it's the cattle in armor again, then it's about time we pay him back— And show him the great pleasures of exquisite pain!" Claudia brandished both her whip and paddle.

"Gear up! We're going to reinforce Edina!" Kanae hurried outside with the others flanking her. She and Esta hopped atop Titan, Minestra on her devil mutt, and Claudia unfurled her wings in flight.

A war horn sounded throughout the camp. About a fourth of their army mobilized right away, and the rest remained on standby. They made their way south as a unit of around 500 strong, arriving at a trampled meadow strewn with undead bone parts, weapons, and… Lapis, riding a high elven soldier while several others laid unconscious around her.

Edina was in the thick of it. She summoned horde after horde into the Ortesian phalanx. They advanced gradually, using spears protruding from their shields to shave down the greater undead numbers. In the sky, her undead dragon was being bogged down by three angels— no, not angels. The golden light they emitted was undeniably Holy Armaments.

But where was the Knight of Gold?

"I'll break their line of defense like tissue paper! Glory to Lord Charron!" Minestra charged ahead, all four hands wielding a longsword each and carving away Ortesians not part of the phalanx.

"At least wait for my Bond, Minestra! Damn it. We have to back her up— Forward!" Kanae boomed.

"Awww. Hildy never bonds with me. I've always wondered how it felt. Do me! Do me!" Claudia pleaded, jumping up and down like an excited puppy.

Right. They did have sex before. Kanae clasped Claudia's hand and activated Bond. She sensed sorrow deep within the Mistress of Pain, numbed by the constant need to hurt and be hurt. That sensation bit Kanae's heart and reminded her of how it felt to lose Arenade. For Claudia, that special someone was Alicia. Lover, sister, companion.

Strength seeped into Claudia's being, empowering her like never before.

"It's so intoxicating! Hildy, you've been holding out of me all this time? Imagine all sex and pain we could've inflicted together. Ahhhh~ It feels so good. I wonder how much harder I can hit with Project Agony?" Claudia smacked her own ass with the enchanted whip.

Everything flashed white. Kanae and everyone around her jolted to an intense pain that surged through their bodies. Minestra, too. The devil mutt keeled over, flinging her off its back. She hit the ground hard and whipped around furiously.

"Claudia, you degenerate masochist! That hurts your allies, too!" Minestra got up and yelled.

"What the fuck happened?" Edina exclaimed in disbelief. "One moment I had a thousand undead, and then they turned into fucking bonedust the next!"

"Ow… How about you dive into them first before hitting yourself?" Kanae asked, rubbing her sore ass.

"Oops. Ahaha. My baddie~" Claudia apologized before beelining for the Ortesian phalanx.

"Edina, fall back to me! Esta, you're getting juiced up, too." She tagged her friends the moment they got close.

All of the undead still standing received a boost in strength equivilent to their necromancer. Their weapons turned savage and armor brutish. Four death knights broke free from holy bindings, causing the clerics around them to falter. The undead dragon turned the tables on the flying Ortesians and gave chase to them instead.

They pummeled through the Ortesian Phalanx, breaking rank and forcing them into open battle— until a bolt of divine energy took off a chunk of one death knight's right shoulder.

"Gold!" Esta preemptively guarded Kanae with her greatshield.

The Knight of Gold rode into the field upon a ivory stallion, backed by reinforcements of their own.

"Turn Undead!" Gold's bow shapeshifted into a lance which he pointed into the sky. A column of light bathed them and emitted outwards. The undeads caught in the rippling wave froze still, even the death knights. Edina's undead dragon plummeted and hit the ground, exploding into countless pieces of bones.

"First a cleric, now a pally? Are you fucking kidding me!" Edina's jaw dropped.

A paladin. An extremely high level one at that to stop all those undead. Will didn't even compare.

When Gold dismounted, Claudia and Minestra were already on top of him. Their explosive battle rocked the earth. Minestra's flurry of attacks with an extra set of arms kept the high elven knight on the defense. He didn't see Claudia coming up from behind, knocking him into the herzulith.

The lance shifted again into a warhammer, which he cratered the ground with. The impact sent Claudia and Minestra flying backwards. Just as quickly, it shifted once more into a bow. He fired two golden arrows infused with violent divine energies just like the ones Kanae saw last night, but only Minestra cared to dodge.

"Hehe! That's what I've been waiting for! Project Agony!" Claudia took the shot head-on.

"Claudia, that's a DIVINE SMITE—" Kanae shouted too late.

A massive wave of energy burst outwards. Project Agony hit Kanae like a truck to her face. But that pain traveled down to her nether regions. She was on the verge of climaxing. In fact, so was everyone else— even the Ortesian forces.

The Knight of Gold, too, dropped to one knee. His legs were trembling. He propped himself up by the warhammer.

"How do you like that? It's not succubus magic. You can't avoid it! Ahaha!" Claudia cackled aloud until Gold pushed himself up.

The knight held a glowing orb aloft his palm.

"Focused Divinity: Lay on Hands. Divine Chain!" Gold pressed the orb of energy into himself, and it jumped from him to fallen Ortesian soldiers, who proceeded to rise to their feet to fight again.

Even bonded, Claudia was barely standing after taking the hit. Gold lifted the warhammer and was about to smite her skull in until Esta blocked blow. Her Dragonhead Greatshield absorbed the impact. The maws gushed with flames, reflecting the attack with a jet of fire.

Kanae whipped Gold from behind and caught his ankle. She yanked hard, throwing him to the ground. As soon as he hit the dirt, the warhammer morphed into an arrow and loosed a divine smite-infused shot at her.

"Oh, shit!" Kanae tried to fly away, but bindings rooted her feet to the ground.

"Master!" Esta cried.

Minestra came just in time to tank the shot. It fried her crispy, and she collapsed to the dirt. Kanae quickly dispelled the bindings with a wand in her tail, picked up the herzulith, and retreated. Esta did the same with Claudia.

"We're falling back! Bombard them, now!" Kanae ordered.

As everyone gathered the wounded, a squadron of harpies and succubi soared in to rain mana-burning spores down on the Ortesian forces. Gold erected the same golden shield to protect his people, who themselves pulled back to stay within the barrier. That should buy time to escape.

Kanae and her forces retreated back to their encampment. It might not be long before Gold and the Ortesian forces attacked.

"I want everyone armed and ready to fight soon! If you're still inside your tents in ten minutes, you're food for the Mistress of Pain's succubi!" Kanae bellowed to the camp.

"What happened?" Zadris came to ask, joined by the Sisters of White to administer healing magic.

"We lost. Gold singlehandedly defeated Claudia and Minestra. We need to rethink how we're going to fight them, because we can't chip away at our enemies by charming them like before," she explained.

The succubi who went into battle were exhausted, and the same went for the Sisters in White, expending their magic to provide healing to the injured. They weren't like Kanae, who had a steady supply of mana. Many of them currently occupied the relief huts, availing themselves of sex slaves and volunteers to be feeding fodder. If the Ortesians pressed their advance now before the succubi replenished themselves, the fight would prove disastrous.

Unless…

Kanae hatched an idea. Two ideas, actually.

"I want all succubi and sex fodder out here now! Bring me all available wagons and livestock harnesses, too!" Kanae ordered.

"What do you have planned, Master? Are we making a full retreat?" Esta asked.

"Not a chance. It just occured to me— a succubus doesn't have to come back to camp for energy if that energy is out there on the battlefield," she explained.

Two volunteers, a Sister of Sin succubus and half-orc man, presented themselves. With help, Kanae put a harness on the half-orc, then fixed the succubus against his chest facing forward. The result— a succubus and drain fodder pair engaging in sex even as they fought.

"Ahhh… Demon Queen Kanae's will be done… I feel her grace and eminence wash over me, a cascade of sin that drenches my body in all her lust!" the pious succubus started giving a sermon all of a sudden, hands pressed together in prayer and eyes misty with zeal.

"What the fuck? You just want to have sex in battle?" Edina grimaced.

"Oh!" Claudia snapped awake despite being all bruised up. "This is genius! Kanae, you're truly a genius! The succubus takes all the abuse from the front. The half-orc will fight unhurt, but he continues to provide healing to the succubus. Ahh~ I want to experience this, too…"

"That's exactly what this is. Bring all the harnesses and rope we have. Pair as many succubi as we can. Minestra, Claudia, Esta. Follow me. There's something only you three can help me with," Kanae said.

They followed Kanae to her tent. As soon as they were inside, she began to strip. The three gawked.

"Oh, my. Kanae, if you wanted to lay with me, you needed only ask!" Minestra had one pair of hands clasped and the other pair up to her red cheeks.

"As much as I'd like to lay with you, Master. I'm not so sure now is a good time when Gold is on his way," Esta said worriedly.

"Bend over on the bed and stick your ass up," Kanae demanded, switching on Futanari for them to witness the massive schlong appear with the Cock Ring of Hardening.

"Yes, please!" Claudia bent over as ordered and tugged down her tight leather pants.

One by one Kanae fucked each of them in turn, starting with Claudia. With danger just over the horizon, her dick never felt better. The Mistress of Pain sang and howled into the pillow as Kanae pounded her pussy, fists clenched, and teeth grinding on the bedsheet. Next was Minestra, who was desperate for this and fell into ecstasy the moment Kanae entered her soaking pussy. Herzulith muscles kneaded Kanae's dick like a deep tissue massage. Finally, Esta… whom Kanae made gentle love to, careful not to be too rough. The drakeling was the only one Kanae had facing her.

Once done, three thoroughly satisfied women whose pussies oozed with cum laid blissfully in the bed.

[Skill Drain has temporarily acquired the skill Project Agony, Berserking Battle Trance, and Stalwart Fortitude.]

Project Agony: Physical and magical attacks inflicted on you are reflected to anyone within line of sight.

Berserking Battle Trance: Deal increasingly more damage the longer you are engaged in battle and are taking damage yourself.

Stalwart Fortitude: A Knight does not tire. Take a deep breath to expunge your exhaustion. Can only be activated once per long rest.]

"All physical, huh? Well, I always thought it would be cool to be crowned some sort of melee class. Thanks, you three. Don't nap for too long. We still have a fight ahead of us," Kanae said, taking a step outside after switching off Futanari and getting dressed.

"High Priestess!" Zadris caught Kanae on her way out of the tent. "All succubi, the Sisters of Sin and Claudia's faithful have been paired."

Behind the Zadris, paired succubi and drain fodders were harnessed together, grinding their hips before the battle even started. Who needed an equine species when the Commonwealth had succubi?

"I gotta admit, Kanae. I thought the plan was stupid. Even Lapis is hooked herself up when she doesn't even need to!" Edina pointed to the dwarven sex automaton, who had a succubus grinding on her earthen-made cock. 

"Don't worry!" Lapis waved. "We're going to dive into the backlines to screw their clerics and mages. Literally!"

Knowing Lapis, that was a promise.

"What about you?" Edina asked.

"Me? Obviously, Titan is going to ride me." Kanae patted the giant languisteed who had a harness fixed to his underside.

"Wait… You mean, you're riding Titan… right? Like, on his saddle. Using your tail to connect to his dick for energy?" She squinted.

The two of exchanged glances.

"I mean, like under him. With his dick in my actual pussy," Kanae corrected her.

"What? How are you supposed to fight like that? Are you stupid?" Edina looked about ready to flip a table.

"No, I'm horny! I can't help it, alright? Besides, this is for shock and awe. Imagine the look on the Ortesian army's faces. We'll demoralize them with degeneracy!" she exclaimed, pumping her fists and panting like a bitch in heat.

War horns bellowed for the second time today, but this one was longer and more drawn out. That meant the enemy was near. Everyone started getting into positions. Claudia, Minestra, and Esta recovered enough to join them outside, but not without a little limp to their gait. She casted preemptive Bonds on all of them, Edina, and Titan included.

Kanae coaxed the languisteed to an erection with Turn Horny, then slipped into the harness with Zadris' help. She felt his massive cock prodding the entrance to her hungry pussy. Her nipples were harder than diamonds. The only thing in her mind was sex and conquest.

After settling in, her back to the smooth furry underbelly, Titan stomped the ground and whinnied a little. His hips thrusted forward, and once was all it took for the shaft to plunge deep and the tip to kiss the entrance to her womb. She shuddered in ecstasy, on the verge of climaxing before the battle even began.

"Mmm… Titan, you're going to serve me well, aren't you? Give me lots of love and cum when we fight, okay?" Kanae cooed sweetly and tried to hold her orgasm.

"Incredible! You look like you're in so much pain and pleasure with that enormous dick in you. I'm learning so much! What exquisite agony you must be feeling down there, I can only imagine!" Claudia squealed.

The Demon Three's Alliance marched to meet their first real battle against the Empire of Ortesia. Kanae's chest throbbed with anticipation. Each step, each time Titan's hooves hit the ground, it sent vibrations up her spine and pussy. He was already gushing cum into her and remained fully erect to give more.

"Supreme One Protect us…" Kanae heard one of the Ortesian infantrymen shout in terror. 

"This really is a country of sin!"

"Those godless heathens… Their queen lays even with languisteeds!"

Kanae shuddered intensely. So many people, enemies and allies included, were watching her display of depravity connected at the hips with a languisteed. It was too much for her to take. Pleasure exploded like fireworks. Titan started getting shakey. His cock was throbbing, too.

"Wait… Titan, not yet! I need to give a speech to encourage my—"

Titan ignored Kanae's pleas and reared up on his hind legs, giving everyone an unfettered view of her at the height of coitus. Eyes rolled back, cum spewing from her pussy, Kanae met the Ortesian army and the Knight of Gold's stunned gazes in the middle of a rapturous orgasm.

"I'm cumming, I'm cummmmiiinnnnnng— aahhhhhhh!" Kanae howled as Titan pumped her womb full of cum.

"You heard Queen Kanae!" Zadris bellowed from her own human mount. "On her! Charge!"

Outnumbered four to one, the Commonwealth, Artaggon, and Queen-Mother forces united in a charge while their foes were in absolute shock. Titan led the assaullt, his hooves pounding the ground as hard as his dick pounded Kanae's pussy.

"No, that's not what I— mmmghh! Fuck… Titan, stop galloping, or I'll… nngh! Ahhh! I don't care anymore! Fuck me harder! Run them down while you drill my pussy!" Kanae, leading her first war in her first battle, climaxed repeatedly as she was ridden head-long into battle.
