Chapter Title: EP 3. Yuta - Did I Get Her? (Succubus Corruption)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

After barely driving off Yuricia.

My legs gave out completely, and I collapsed right there on the spot.

Revenge had been achieved, but my heart was filled with a profound sense of loss.

"Lena..."

"Lia."

Sera approached and placed her hand on my shoulder.

Then she turned back with a resolute expression.

"I'll give it a try."

"Give what a try...?"

Sera went over to the blood-soaked Lena, knelt down, and placed both hands on her wounds.

"Goddess of Life..."

Soon, a warm and intense light began emanating from around Sera's body.

"Oh...!"

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

"Ugh...!"

Sera coughed up blood midway through and staggered.

"Sera?! Are you okay?!"

"I'm fine... Just overdid it on the mana expenditure."

"What if something happens to you too...!"

"I might die. But you risked your life for us, didn't you? So I will too..."

Sera gritted her teeth and endured as she spoke.

"Sera..."

I ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠stepped aside.

For a moment, fear gripped me, but somehow I felt like she could pull it off.

And perhaps that hope paid off.

I could feel vitality slowly returning to Lena's body.

And then.

"[Holy Healing]!"

The light pouring from Sera's body seeped into Lena, and the wounds on her body began to heal one by one.

Finally.

"Uh... ugh...?"

Lena's eyebrows twitched, and she opened her eyes.

"Lena!"

Overcome with emotion, I rushed to Lena.

I hugged her tight and rubbed my face against hers over and over, feeling her warmth.

"Lia...?"

"I'm right here. Right here! So you don't go anywhere either, Lena..."

"Thank goodness..."

Sera spoke from the side, her face exhausted.

"Thank you, Sera!"

I turned to Sera and hugged her too.

"No big d—"

Sera collapsed before she could finish her sentence.

"Kyaa?! Sera?!"

I frantically checked her pulse, desperately hoping it wasn't what I thought.

Thankfully, her heart was still beating. It seemed she'd just passed out from mana overuse.

"Lia... where is Lady Yuria...?"

Lena asked from behind me.

"Don't worry about that bastard. I—"

Mid-sentence, I noticed something off.

"Lena...? Why did you just say 'Lady' Yuria...?"

Yuricia was dead, so the curse on Lena should have been lifted.

No way.

My unease soon became reality.

"Kuk... You really went and did it."

Black energy rippled nearby, then transformed into the form of the blonde nun.

"You...!"

"I almost really died there. Me, a noble succubus, to some puny human."

I tried to grab the sword I'd set down on the floor. But before I could, Lena kicked it far away with her foot.

"Lena...?!"

"Sorry, Lia. I can't let you harm Lady Yuria."

"Good job, slave. With that annoying sword gone, now it's my turn to pay you back."

Yuricia giggled as she spoke.

Soon, black energy gathered at her fingertips, forming sharp, elongated claws.

"Die!"

Yuricia lunged at me with those claws leading the way.

[ 1. Dodge. ]

[ 2. Counter. ]

I had no choice but to try here.

I decided to counter.

"Kuh...!"

I endured the claws raking my skin and grabbed Yuricia's arm in return.

It was a trade flesh for bone strategy.

"Hek?!"

"Ryaat!"

I slammed Yuricia down onto the ground hard.

Boom. Cracks spiderwebbed across the stone floor, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠and her waist snapped upward from the recoil.

"Gaaak!"

"Not letting go this time!"

I raised my fist for the finishing blow.

That was when Lena charged from behind and grabbed me, stopping me.

"Don't harm Lady Yuria!"

"Damn it, Lena, stop getting in the way!"

"Ufufufufufu...!"

While I struggled with Lena, Yuricia dissolved back into mist.

I thought she was fleeing, but instead she approached and slipped into my wounds, invading my body.

"Ugh... She's inside me...?!"

I could feel Yuricia's presence spreading through my veins across my entire body.

Soon, her voice echoed directly in my mind.

'I'll acknowledge you. You're the strongest human I've encountered in decades. Born with the qualities of a hero. Excellent.'

"Shut up and get out...!"

'So I'll personally make you my vessel. Consider it an honor. Few ever get such a chance.'

"Like I'd let trash like you...!"

Suddenly, something writhed in my butt like it was about to burst out.

"Hyaa? W-wait... whaaat♥"

With a squelch, a slender tail protruded from a long-degenerated organ and stretched out long.

"Haa... t-tail...?"

It was an adorably shaped tail, curved at the end like an arrowhead.

"Whoa, a tail♥ It looks just like Lady Yuria's♥"

Lena stared in fascination, then grabbed it with both hands and yanked hard.

"Hyaaak♥"

A wave of pleasure made my spine tingle and shiver.

My nerves screamed in ecstasy. It felt like someone was roughly fondling an unbelievably overgrown clit.

"Oh? You like it here? Got it♥"

Lena smirked mischievously, as if reading my thoughts.

Smooth, smooth, smooth.

Lena caressed the tail with tender yet persistent strokes, like she was petting a lover.

"Haaht♥ Stop♥ Don't stroke it so gently♥ Tailclit's gonna make me cuuuum...♥"

For an instant, my vision flashed pure white.

'Fufufu. Yes, drown deep in lust. Then we can become one.'

Yuricia's voice resounded in my head. It was so sweet and insidious I could hardly refuse.

"Nooo♥ Don't wanna be one... Heeek?!"

As I desperately resisted, the tail curved on its own and plunged straight into my drooling, sloppy pussy.

"T-tailclit fucking my pussy nooo♥ Head♥ Head's breaking♥ Ohohooo♥"

Tailclit rubbing♥ Pussy thrusting♥ Arrowhead glans aahn♥ Everything's a blur♥

Splurt.

Something hot gushed from my nose. It tasted salty and metallic on my tongue. Probably a nosebleed. My head buzzed with overwhelming pleasure.

My heart pounded like it would explode. Then a sudden headache assaulted me.

"Hguuuut?!"

It felt like my skull was splitting open. Clutching my head and groaning, I saw the outline of something thick and long sprouting amid my silver hair tinged with faint pink.

"Huuut... h-horns...?"

Throb, throb.

The moment ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠I saw them, I instinctively knew.

That touching those fresh 'handles' would feel incredibly good.

But at the same time, a vague fear gripped me.

That if I touched them, I'd cross a river of no return.

My hesitation lasted only a moment.

"Can't hold back anymooore♥"

Hunched over, I grabbed both horns with my hands and stroked them up and down.

Every time my palms rubbed against the horns, a clit-spinning pleasure electrified my spine and brain.

"Seeeex♥ Onahole-handle seeeex♥ Brain cells dying from direct orgasms♥"

My head throbbed from the pleasure. An instinctive sense of danger warned that if I kept going, my heart or brain would burst. But I couldn't stop. Didn't want to.

I thrashed my breasts like a live fish, lewdly twisting my hips. Between my spread legs, my labia winked open, spewing pussy juices from deep inside. I felt my pussy clench and relax, seeking a cock that wasn't there.

"Ahaha♥ Lia, your face is so slutty♥ Feels that good?"

Lena spoke from the side while lovingly stroking my tailclit.

"Yeees♥ Hornjerking♥ Tailclit ruuub♥ Arrowcock fuuuck♥ All♥ All gooood♥ Ohook♥ Hoooong♥"

The tail-cock wriggled inside my onahole pussy, tapping at the baby slide entrance. It teased gently at first, then thrust the door wide open, plunging inside until it reached the egg chamber.

'Do you know what this is?'

A voice suddenly echoed in my mind.

It was incredibly loving and affectionate.

A sweet yet violent tone that stabbed directly into my brain.

So sweet it felt like my heart would burst.

"Dunnooo♥ Don't knooow♥"

'It's your soul. Condensed here in your womb. Your memories, emotions, thoughts, values, all of it. What if I crush it like this?'

I felt the tail whipping nearby, eyeing it hungrily.

"Nooo♥ Don't crush♥ Don't crush iiiit♥"

Absorbed in hornplay, I twisted my hips wildly in a tantrum.

I knew I should pull the tail out of my pussy, but the skullclit stroking felt too damn good to let go.

'How about this then? Give your soul to me. You'll live on as part of me. Like all the other vessels I've gone through. Don't worry, you won't disappear. We'll just become one.'

"O-one...?"

It sounded like the sweetest offer.

For a moment, my heart wavered, but I barely shook off the temptation.

"No! I won't give my body to the likes of you...!"

I barely recalled the voice belonged to Yuricia and screamed.

For an instant, my extinguished flames of hatred roared back to life.

'Foolish. Pointless stubbornness. You're already in my grasp. If you insist, I'll force your heart open.'

Immediately, the arrowhead tip of the tail puuk stabbed deep into my soul.

In that instant, the scenery around me changed.

I stood naked in a white void.

A golden glow shimmered before me, soon taking the form of an incredibly lovely woman.

It was Yuricia.

"D-don't come closer!"

Terrified, I backed away.

But no matter how much I fled, the distance didn't grow.

Instead, every leisurely step Yuricia took brought her noticeably closer.

Standing right in front of me, Yuricia raised her hand and placed it on my chest.

Soon, something glowing emanated from where her hand touched, flowing outward.

"Auuu... ah...?"

I lost all strength, staggered, and collapsed.

My vision drifted away from 'me,' and I saw my body lying there like a puppet with cut strings, utterly motionless.

Why am I over there?

But no voice came out.

No warmth, no sensation remained.

Lonely, anxious, terrified, I trembled. With no vocal cords or body left to scream, I wailed desperately in my mind.

Amid it all, I felt a warm touch.

Looking up, there was a radiant golden presence.

A goddess form, complete with horns and tail.

"It's okay. Come on in here."

Yuricia whispered, holding the soul orb that had separated from my—body—in her hand.

She pulled me close to her chest.

I clung to her like a lifeline.

At the same moment—

The arrowhead tip of the tail in my womb shivered, and the gaping hole swallowed my egg—my soul.

"Hoot♥"

The tail withdrew from my pussy.

Its tip bulged round with something caught inside.

It slowly digested its way down the tube from one end to the other, until it reached the base where the tail sprouted.

And then.

"Huuuutt♥"

"Huu... fufu... fufufut...♥"

And so I.

Became one with the glorious and mighty High Succubus crafted by the great God of Chaos.

Succubi are inherently formless entities, akin to spirits.

Impure souls born when human desires seep into mana.

They can only exert power in realms like dreams or minds, but that's just for worthless pests.

Lady Yur, the High Succubus, is one of the handful of exceptionally powerful individuals granted a portion of an evil god's authority.

Possessing a human body and using it as a tool to act in reality is no great feat for her.

However, my predecessor, Sia, apparently wasn't a very good vessel.

To show such a gap to a mere human and take a fatal wound.

A worm like that has no right to serve Lady Yur.

But this body is different. It possesses more than enough ability to satisfy Lady Yur.

Aa♥

I feel Lady Yur's touch and presence seeping into my soul.

Lady Yur's first command to me.

Obey. Yes♥ This flesh is merely a tool and vessel to follow your will and realize your desires♥

This swordsmanship, this lovely appearance, this body—all exist solely to offer to you.

Rightfully Lady Yur's♥

"Lia...?"

The Heretic Inquisitor looks up at me with a shocked face.

A surge of anger rises, and I lash out with my tail to strike her.

"Insolent slave. From now on, address me properly as Lady Yuria. Vermin."

I can overlook slights to myself, but not a lack of respect toward Lady Yur. Especially from a human.

"Y-yes... yesss...♥"

Meanwhile, I hear numerous footsteps rushing this way.

Soon, humans burst into the pantheon, screaming in terror.

"B-blood ocean! And... a-a demon!"

One of the humans points at me and shouts.

Accurate, but the lack of honorifics is displeasing. I can overlook slights to myself, but not disrespect toward Lady Yur.

"Quiet."

I raised one hand, pressing a finger to my lips as I spoke.

Those fools were already Yur's slaves long ago.

Handling them is simple.

The surroundings fell silent in an instant. Confused expressions as they found themselves unable to speak.

"Nothing unusual happened here. Go continue your worship. A few nuns, come here and assist me."

The humans' eyes glazed over, and they nodded.

They all turned and left the way they came, leaving only a few scantily clad women in the pantheon.

I directed them to clean up the blood, clear the debris from the shattered statue, and move the fallen slave and the escaped nun to a side chamber.

Afterward, I concealed my horns and tail, disguising myself in human form.

It was utterly repulsive to revert from my superior succubus form to the pitiful shape of a mere human, but there was no helping it for now.

The time to enact Lady Yur's grand plan had not yet come.

I must wait.
