Chapter 4. Does a Max Level Succubus Have Wholesome Dreams?
Chapter 4. Does a Max Level Succubus Have Wholesome Dreams?
As my foggy mind cleared completely, the first emotions I felt were shame and humiliation.
I couldn't believe I had begged that lewd monster for intercourse while spouting vulgar words like "Master" and "slave"... The embarrassment was so overwhelming I wanted to hide somewhere.
But that passed quickly. With enemies before me, I shook off my emotions and cautiously assessed the situation.
"A... high-tier demon...? And this energy... a Queen?! H-how is this possible...?"
Succubus Misha... She stared at me with disbelief, as if things hadn't gone according to plan. Her panicked expression suggested she couldn't see the transparent windows spread before me - only me.
Though looking at me, her attention wasn't fully focused. My mace lay within reach where I'd dropped it. Her distracted state was my opportunity.
I quickly formulated a plan and acted immediately.
"...Die!!!"
"Huh?"
-Clang!
Grabbing the mace, I instantly lunged and struck the succubus' head with precision. A paper-like vibration sound echoed as the impact site caved inward.
The distracted succubus couldn't resist my ambush. Blood gushed from her nose as she collapsed face-first.
Thinking she might not be fully dead, I delivered two more crushing blows to her occiput with the mace for confirmation.
With her skull shattered and caved in, she was definitely dead now.
Gasping for air, I slumped backward. Wiping my face dry, I struggled to process the chaotic situation and complicated emotions.
"Haa... hah... Right... surviving is what matters..."
Though I'd lost my purity, suffered humiliations, and even become a succubus... surviving was enough. Death would render everything meaningless.
What were these transparent windows? While neatly arranged to avoid obstructing vision... the densely packed incomprehensible text created dizzying scenery.
Max Level achieved...? Evolved from high-tier demon to Succubus Queen...? No wonder I felt stronger. Could this be displaying my status?
Further exploration might reveal the nature of this mysterious power, but exhaustion overwhelmed me. Despite gaining power, my fatigue remained unchanged.
When I resolved to stop viewing the transparent windows...
-Shhhhk.
They vanished completely.
"Eh? Ehh? They're gone?!"
Panicking, I feared they'd disappeared permanently - taking with them any way to understand my condition.
Then I accidentally willed them to reappear. The windows instantly slid back into view, redisplaying the information alerts.
"Ehh? They're back...? Hmm... Then if I... Oh, gone! And if I do this... Yes! Back again!"
After several attempts, I realized summoning/dismissing the windows depended on my will. Satisfied with this discovery, I prepared to leave.
I collected my weapon but struggled to shoulder my pack - my demon wings got in the way. I needed to collect the succubus corpse as quest evidence...
...Huh?
Where the corpse should've been, only a pile of ash remained.
I recalled reading in church texts: demons dying outside their native Demon Realm turn to ash...
No choice but to collect the ashes for the guild. Though whether I could reach the guild in this form... That was a problem for later.
After storing the ashes in a leather pouch from my pack, I straightened my clothes and trudged toward the church.
My waist creaked from vigorous succubus intercourse; my legs trembled. Though the path wasn't rough, the journey felt arduous.
As sunset darkened the sky, my body moving mechanically while my mind drifted, I finally spotted the church's lights with my head hung low.
Relief at surviving and joy at returning home released my tension. My legs gave out completely.
Someone at the church entrance screamed upon seeing my shadowy figure emerge.
"Kyaaak! A d-demon?!"
Ah, right. I'm a demon now.
The voice belonged to Sister Cecilia - a nun from the Iereph Religious Order who's like an older sister to me.
How to explain this situation? But I lacked energy to maintain consciousness...
I collapsed unconscious onto the ground, remembering nothing afterward.
"Wait, that figure... Triae? Triae, is that you? Triae! Wake up! Triae!"
Cecilia recognized me and shook me awake. Her worried, urgent calls suggested nothing bad would happen while I slept.
Using Cecilia's fading voice as a lullaby, I fell into deep sleep. I vaguely recall erotic dreams, but their content escapes memory.
...Even if remembered, I wouldn't speak of them. Though now a succubus, I'm not shameless enough to share such dreams.

"Hey! Iereph! We've got big troub... Ugh, at it again? Are you really the Goddess of Purity?"
A boy with grass-green hair burst into the room shouting angrily.
Inside, two naked women pressed their vulvas together while making love. The sky-blue short-haired girl called Iereph flicked her partner's nipple while answering distractedly.
"Mmmh...♥ Hamul, I told you not to interrupt me during this... Chuuup♥"
"Ah, Iereph-nim...!♥ I-I'm close...♥ Haaahhh...!♥"
"Mmmh...♥ Hellia, let's cum together then...♥"
Hellia - a black-haired adult woman contrasting Iereph's youthful appearance - moved her body following Iereph's lead, hastening her climax.
Iereph pressed completely against Hellia, rubbing their drenched, sticky pussies together as if inserting a cock. With sensitive clits stimulated by deep, passionate caresses, both soon screamed as they reached orgasm.
-Squelch♥ Splurt♥
"Iereph-niiim♥ Aaaaahn♥♥♥"
"Nghh♥ Ahhiiiit♥♥♥"
Hellia's back arched like a bow as she convulsed in climax. Unaccustomed to such intense pleasure, she immediately fainted.
Meanwhile, Iereph kept masturbating her desperate pussy with both hands, unsatisfied after cumming with a wet squelch.
"Huu♥ Feels good...♥ So Hamul. What's the matter?"
"You don't know? Someone reached Max Level in the Middle Realm. The entire Divine Realm's in emergency mode."
"...What? Seriously? That's possible? Who achieved it?"
"...Your reaction suggests you're not the culprit. The Max Level achiever is your believer. Some gods suspect you empowered them with blessings."
"I did nothing. If someone reached the supposedly unattainable Max Level without divine intervention... Does that mean the System has a flaw?"
"Worst case scenario, yes."
Iereph wiped her lustful expression clean, calmly drying her cum-soaked vulva with cloth.
A damaged System built by multiple gods including herself was irritating... Yet secretly pleasing that her believer achieved Max Level.
Waving her hand, beautiful garments magically materialized and dressed her.
"Tell the council I'll come soon after Hellia recovers. And clarify I wasn't involved - tell them not to cross lines."
"R-right. Don't be late. Take care of Hellia too."
After sending Hamul away, Iereph sat on the bed stroking Hellia's buttocks while deep in thought.
A System flaw required fixing... But what about the child who reached Max Level because of it?
Though gods designed and managed this world, excessive blessings or direct interference damaged the System. Likely they'd only fix the cause without altering the result.
Thus the Max Level child would remain... Being her believer, perhaps she could manipulate them to strengthen her influence and the Iereph Religious Order.
"How exciting... I hope they're cute-looking... Heheh...♥"
Iereph groped her small breasts while licking her lips lustfully.
The first Max Level achiever... For such a child... Iereph, Goddess of Purity and Love, thought she might willingly offer her virginity.
