"I admit I got slightly distracted," Merillia confessed. "But with the angle and distance of the path you had to take to get into my blind spot, I am intrigued that your approach escaped my notice."
Merillia then glanced at Noel who stood still as a statue and added, "the one time when I would have been curious to hear Noel's long-winded explanation…"
Not that much explanation was needed. Beatrice used the combination of her [Blink (+1)] and [Refresh Cooldown (+1)] Skills. The enhancement of [Blink] allowed to double the travel distance to forty feet, thus allowing for the much longer, angled route to get behind the Queen supposedly unnoticed.
Skill Enhancement: Blink (+1)
Rank: C
Type: Combat Craft / Active
Cost: 40 Stamina
Cooldown: 4 Minutes
Description: Instantly move forty feet in any direction within line of sight and without movement-obstructing obstacles.
Minimum Requirements:
Character level: 25
Skill Points in Combat Craft: 10
A minute shaved off the cooldown was also somewhat nice, but that was hardly of consequence in Beatrice's current situation.
Of Beatrice's three new Skill Points she gained from defeating Asuna and her demon Beatrice had now used up one Skill Point to no effect. And the fact that Beatrice failed to even scratch the Queen gave little hope that further two investments into her low-level Combat Craft would produce meaningful results.
"Not that it would have mattered, but why did you not attempt to simply escape?" Merillia asked Beatrice as the magical grip tightened around the succubus and raised her higher off the floor.
"Why indeed," Beatrice looked at the mutant that was once Carl as he limped up to Helen and leaned to pull out the nails that bound her hands to the wall. The Queen had made her intent toward the priestess clear. And by now Beatrice knew all too well the effects of high-level Taint corruption. Running away meant giving up on Olivia and the three priestesses as living, thinking human beings and leaving them to the whims of a queen that seemed all too fond of toying with lives.
"You're right—the reason no longer matters," Merillia chuckled. "Now, what should I do with you? Hm, hm, hm… Ooh, I know! Have you ever fallen ass-first on a demon's cock so long that you got forty feet of it thrust through your body and out your mouth? It's to die for!"
"WRGHUYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Carl howled in agony and flailed his arms around his head. A long nail stuck out of a bleeding hole where his small right eye used to be.
Liam and Jeremy paid no mind to Carl's screams and continued merrily fucking Victoria and Priscilla. Not wasting the opportunity, Helen grabbed the other nail that Carl had earlier pulled out and excitedly dropped on the floor and thrust it behind the knee of Carl's injured leg, further crippling the monster.
"INCOMPETENT—!" Merillia shouted in anger, but the rest of her curse was drowned out by a giant black explosion that tore through the door through which Beatrice's first entered this hall.
A giant flaming bat, burning with black flames and a wingspan of over thirty feet, emerged from the explosion and flew through the hall at dizzying speed. The wings of the bat tore through every stone pillar in their path as the fiery bat flew straight at the Queen, Beatrice, and Olivia.
"Lucarad!!" the queen shouted in fury and discarded both Beatrice and Olivia to bring forth the full force of the energies she controlled.
"Lucarad!!" Helen screamed in joy as she ran from Carl toward the bat.
A sphere of dark energy formed around the Queen and the translucent energies took dark but visible form, both surrounding the queen and preparing for a counterattack. But the engagement did not take place. At the last second, the flaming bat angled to the side of the queen and flew right into Beatrice and Olivia.
"WRUAAGH!!" Merillia unleashed her powers as the bat flew past her and ravaged the bat's left wing.
Damaged and losing control, the bat flew into Helen, and then took a sharp turn toward the damaged outer wall. Spiraling out of control the fire bat blew through the hole in the wall and flew from the palace, losing altitude with each passing second until crashing somewhere in the forest below.
As Merillia let the dark energies that surrounded her dissipate, she looked around at the aftermath. Beatrice, the tainted girl, and the third priestess were gone. Her two daughters laid unconscious. The other two priestesses and the two cretins continued fucking as if nothing had happened. Amidst all this Noel stood frozen like a statue. Meanwhile, her third new pet was on one knee, blind in one eye, smashing his fists against the floor and screaming in pain and anger.
The incompetent fool's screams were grating. The Queen waved her hand to make him stop. A couple of seconds later, with a thud, Carl's headless body fell to the floor.
"Ahn~! Yes~! Mmmmm! Don't stop!" Victoria moaned with her face between Priscilla's legs while Liam and Jeremy fucked her ass and cunt, and Priscilla satisfied her swollen clit.
