The attack of lust, the succubus, lit up the whole room with a pink glow. All eyes were on her as she floated overhead. Without transition, the old mage cast a spell in the direction of the succubus, shouting
- Lightning!
This created a powerful lightning strike launched from the tip of his index finger towards the succubus, which dodged by moving to the side before flying towards its assailant. The latter then retaliated with another lightning strike, but before the attack had even hit its target, the old ma awoke in a totally different part of the dungeon.
A great, majestic castle soaring in the sky, filled with every conceivable treasure. The old magician woke up surrounded by lots of pretty young girls in skimpy outfits, caressing him tenderly and affectionately. Sweet music, beautiful dancers, good food, beautiful women ready to satisfy the slightest of his desires or rather fantasies, surrounded him on every side. But more than all that, he'd also grown younger and looked like a handsome teenager, adorned with the most magnificent jewels. Everything he'd ever dreamed of had come true in an instant.
Seeing this, the old mage, now young, immediately panicked and began to cast unsuccessful dispelling spells. He threw back his staff and began to check his whole body, uttering the following words
- no! no! no! no! no! no! no! This spell is the real fantasy, the spell for which succubi are so feared and hated. No, it's just an illusion. It's all an illusion, so I can fight it. All I have to do is keep calm and not believe anything about this place.
As he tried to break the spell, the old magician found himself constantly assailed by the pretty young girls who tried to play with him, even though he kept pushing them away again and again. He cast every cancellation spell he knew, but to no avail.
- Dissipation!!! Dissipation! Back to reality! Hundreds of illusions broken. Shit, even this very high output again has no effect.
After all those scratched attempts, he tried to escape by teleportation, but it didn't work. He tried to run away, but couldn't and was constantly seduced by the beautiful women in the castle. He tried again and again to escape from this trap, but without success, and for a very long time, until he came to a point where he knew he'd had enough.
- No! Wait a second. What if this is reality? What if all this time, I've just been dreaming?
"Of course you've been dreaming. You just woke up. You haven't been out since morning... O Mage King! Why don't you come and take care of us grand mage of the west after all, the king mage meeting is tomorrow."
"Come and play with us master".
"Come!"
"Come!"
These voices, in response to the magician's question, came from the young girls in the castle who were trying to seduce the magician. After a few doubts, the magician came to believe their words, and immediately threw himself into their arms, saying to himself
- Of course I was dreaming! ha ha ha ha ha! As if I, the King Mage of the West, could be a common old junk mage from a group of broken arms ha ha ha ha ha .
he said, relaxing in the girls' arms, calmly eating good fruit, accompanied by wine and music.
Meanwhile in the dungeon, Lust lowered himself to the ground next to the old mage who stood staring into space. He had pink pupils with a broken heart in his eyes, just like lust's. And he wasn't the only one. And he wasn't the only one. Everyone in the room had the same look. The adventurers as well as the boss on the landing all had the same stare with a broken heart drawn inside. Lust got close enough to the old mage to stand face to face before uttering.
- Yes, such is the power of the succubus' true fantasy. The most powerful skill reserved only for the succubus race. It takes a little time to activate, but once done, it's impossible to break. No one can escape this attack, no matter how strong they are. I mean, who'd want to escape from a perfect world in which all our desires come true? But the dangerous thing about this technique is that, even if we know it's an illusory world, we'll believe it sooner...or later.
Lust placed her hand on the old mage's chest before thrusting it into his heart and tearing it out with a spell she called
- Extraction!
She threw the heart to the ground before stamping on it to crush it with a big, devilish grin. The old man's body fell to the ground in a pool of blood as the succubus looked on in amusement and André the priest in terror. When the succubus looked up and saw André the priest, who hadn't been caught in her attack, she was surprised, and said
- Well, aren't you dreaming? No wonder! Thanks to the many rituals they perform every day, it's not surprising that some priests are immune to this spell. The miracle of divinities is a much scarier thing. Oh dear, what a pity, I wanted to give you a happy death. By the way, you know what they say about succubi, don't you?
Lust asked André, who was trembling with fear, before answering.
- yes...I do!
- So go ahead, say it. What? You're scared? Yes, I am! I feel you're scared! Then sing me that beautiful song.
Pronounced lust with a terrifying air. André then began to sing with a trembling voice
- When...when...when we meet a succubus in our sleep, we live the most beautiful dream of our lives. But when we meet a succubus in real life, we live the most terrible nightmare of our lives.
- Bravo! Bravo! And now, give thanks to your goddess because you've just met a succubus in real life hahaha.
At these words, André's face flushed with unparalleled fear, his whole body trembling. So he hurriedly erected a barrier around himself, then began to wail as lust charged at him, trying to break his barrier with punches. She seemed to be having a lot of fun with him, her amused, devilish expression making the priest even more proud.
- Why did it have to be me? Why did it have to happen to me? And to think this was my last mission as an adventurer. I was finally going to realize my dearest dream.
André lamented, thinking of his past.
- I grew up in a noble family where all children were destined to become holy knights fighting evil. My older brothers have made a name for themselves and my father is the vassal of a great hero. There's nothing more noble or weight-bearing, but I failed the recruitment test. As a result, my father disowned me, my brothers turned their backs on me and I continued to fall into an unparalleled decline, until I found myself working as a simple adventurer to pay my daily bread. When the priestess came to see me and offered me this mission with the reward of a chance to join the Holy Knights, I didn't hesitate for a second and here's the result. Shit, shit, I can't die here. Not until I've proved to everyone that I'm not a disgrace!
André, seized by a terrible anger, raised his staff to the sky and shouted
- Oh masters of light and justice! You who illuminated the world with your grace! You who illuminated the darkness with your presence! You who brought your blessing to suffering souls! I, André de la Montaigne, beg you to grant me your blessing "the wave of benevolence: may the miracle be!
A huge Ama of mana burst forth from André's staff and headed straight for Lust, who tried as best she could to fend it off before being overwhelmed by the attack and pushed backwards. Lust seemed powerless in the face of this attack, and it didn't take her long to understand why.
- This dazzling golden light, I don't believe it, it's...the Miracle! The source of the gods' power. I wouldn't have believed a mere pathetic priest could possess it. This is not good.
lust screamed, taking the full force of the attack.
A few moments later, Ralph, whose legs had been shattered by Assu's attack, awoke from the illusion. The first thing he noticed was Assu standing motionless in front of him, as if frozen. When he tried to move in turn, he was struck by a terrible pain that pinned him to the ground. Turning to the others, he began to shout the names of his companions.
- Haaaaaa dammit help me, the old man, linale, André do something dammit! Hey guys, get a move on.
Seeing that no one was responding, Ralph turned around and looked at what was happening behind him. The first thing he saw was the body of the old magician lying on the ground.
- No, this can't be. Linaaaaaale, André, what's going on?
- So, you've woken up too? Well, this spell is losing its effectiveness.
- The succubus?! What the...
- Ah yes, it's your friend, I'm sorry you have to see this, but don't worry, it'll be your turn right away.
When Ralph met lust's gaze, crouching on the ground, he witnessed a most macabre scene. André's body lay at lust's feet, her mouth and cheek stained with blood, her eyes glowing pink. What's more, she seemed to be eating something. Something long that crossed her throat before she swallowed it. Her eyes glistened, her face and hands were smeared with blood, her left hand closed and she continued to lick her right hand.
As for Ralph, he was quick to notice the state André's body was in under the succubus' feet. Tears streamed from his wide-open eyes. His face gave off all the terror in the world, yet his whole body seemed untouched, right down to his crotch, from which blood flowed.
Ralph immediately understood what had happened when he saw lust swallow something again, something that looked like two small bloody balls in lust's left hand before she swallowed it. He immediately realized that the succubus had ripped off the young priest's leg before swallowing it.
- Bastard! Bastard! Motherfucker!
Ralph shouted angrily into the dungeon as Lust stood up, uttering tiredly
- Boy, can you be loud. We can't even eat in peace here anymore. Well, I'll take care of you, especially since strong males have always been my favorite. That said, I wonder how you got out of my fantasy world. You don't own an object or something filled with or made of miracles, do you?
Lust started walking towards Ralph. She walked serenely until she had closed the distance between them. But then she stopped dead in her tracks and looked intently at Assu, who was also trapped in his fantasy world. She said
- This is a golden opportunity! Normally, I'd be no match for you, but now you're at my mercy and I'm going to kill you with my bare hands, Assu the landing master. After all, you were planning to eliminate me, weren't you? Then this will be revenge for all the succubi you've killed. I'll kill you right here, Assu.
- I forbid it!
uttered a feminine voice in the room. Lust turned in surprise and said
- Impossible, you too?
Lust's surprise was justified, for the voice that had just interrupted her was that of Hella, who should still be a prisoner of the fantasy world like all the others. So Lust asked her
- Did you break my spell?
- She never stepped on me!
hella replied, before adding, recalling the scene
- The moment you cast your spell, I took the opportunity to petrify that girl with the bow who was threatening me. Your attack distracted her so she couldn't do anything before ending up in status. Even if your spell didn't work on me, it still hurt my eyes. That's why it took me so long to react. "Thanks to it, I can petrify anything that crosses my gaze. It's really handy.
lust's shock was replaced by admiration when she clapped her hands in response.
- You're fantastic, mistress. But how come my spell doesn't work on you?
- Because it doesn't work on me, that's all.
- Of course it does! Why else did you stop me from killing Assu? It seems to me that he wanted to kill you too. Which is really strange, because the bond between guardians and masters is one of absolute subordination. He shouldn't even be able to oppose your will. But I assure you that if we let this opportunity pass, we'll soon regret it.
- It's none of your business. Step aside. You've done a good job. It's up to me now.
- Yes, mistress!
With a backward leap, supported by her wings, lust stepped back. Hella walked over to Ralph, who was speechless and trying to understand what was happening. Hella crouched down beside him and spoke to him.
- You saved me earlier! So I say thank you! I consider myself indebted to you, so I'm going to grant you one wish. Any wish, as long as it's within my means.
- What the hell are you?
While Hella chatted with Ralph, lust took the opportunity to move closer to Celestine, who had been seriously injured and was also trapped in the world of fantasies. Looking at the latter, she said
- Good! Good! If I can't eat the man, you'll have to. Genitalia are not only pleasurable, they're also delicious for those who know how to appreciate the taste. For women, it's the udders that are delicious, even if you've barely got any. Ha ha ha ha ha
- Don't touch her! How else can I tell you to stand back? Maybe you'd like me to repeat it?
declares Hella, after noticing what lust was up to. She adds
- Free her from your spell. In fact, you can even deactivate your power. Already, most of those who aren't dead yet have woken up, so I don't really see the point.
- But if I do that...
- That's an order. I told you, I'll take care of the rest.
Even with doubts and restraint, lust obeyed hella by uttering
- I've got it! Break the spell.
The pink aurora borealis that lit up the room disappeared, and immediately Celestine and Assu, as well as the other ogres in the room, all awoke from their world of fantasies.
