The campaign to gather the survivors across the Black Bog Kingdom continued. The progress was slow as there were constant battles and wars, and they were all carefully moving from one place to another.
Soon, the group reached one of the large cities that was overrun. The few survivors hid in the secret chambers and barricaded themselves and were on the brink of death from starvation. The group's arrival made the few dozen mighty Cardinals vow to serve the Eldrich immediately.
The last leg of the journey towards the main city was at hand. Nightwing led the group in a circle to kill more of the stone flesh golems, but his real plan was to absorb the corpses and blood hidden underground secretly. He then ordered Bomos to move as a mountain size arm rose from the ground to flatten the armies of Breveros.
But Nightwing flew at the center, and while the arm continued and struck Nightwing, wounding him severely, the arm broke down and collapsed.
At the defeat of the hand, the armies rejoiced and praised Nightwing's bravery once more. But Nightwing took no pleasure in the sacrifice and demanded great offerings, and each kingdom gave out a portion of their wealth to Nightwing.
With their victory, Breveros made the army stay in the fallen kingdom. It had walls and guarded gates with only a few tunnels easily barricaded once more. The armies needed to rest for the last leg of the battle they would face.
The kingdom was in ruins, and people were busy excavating and taking out what they could, and gathering the spoils.
As for Breveros, he found a tall tower and realized that it had the power to send long-distance messages and receive messages as well.
Breveros entered the depths of a collapsed tower. But his men carefully repaired it to activate the communication array to link with the Eldrich.
Nightwing watched as the group built it and noticed the ingenious powers used to make it.
"So it's basically like a satellite... This tower is being transformed to receive a specific signal." Nightwing observed.
Nightwing saw Breveros approach.
"The Array Tower will be rebuilt, and I can finally contact my family. Unfortunately, because of our current situation, we must delay the scheduled raid..." Breveros spoke.
"I feel that this is still part of Destiny's plan. Or... it could be Fate now. After all, more delays here means more time for Fate to prepare. There is a possibility that our bad luck right now is caused by Fate to delay our intention. My master said that the Planesworld is very important to Destiny. It's a highway path for future wars. It is said that the battle between those two groups would be centered here. Report what you have seen, and feel free to exaggerate it. If they send us more help or grant us good things that we can use to survive or flee, then take it. That's not betraying them, right?"
"...I know." Breveros frowned and turned away.
"Frustrated that I am constantly demanding your family to pay for your bad luck? Get over it. This is all your fault!" Nightwing shouted at the hearing of people nearby.
The Eldrich that guarded Breveros all frowned as they heard their master being humiliated.
"I'll leave you in charge," Breveros spoke.
"I refuse. My powers are reaching their peak. I have to leave for a while and release the lust in my body. Otherwise, this entire camp will be affected." Nightwing turned around.
"Fine. Assign someone capable. I will be preparing the spell to call my family." Breveros walked into the door of the tower and closed it.
Nightwing observed and sighed.
"Hmp. It won't be enough! I need something to trigger and force him to make some small demands. I won't leave this place empty-handed! I guess I have to use that route." Nightwing frowned and turned to his allies.
"Angelian! Spread the word. Tell them the Incubus plans to release his lust. Then, I will head twenty kilometers south. Tell everyone to stay away from that region."
"Release your lust? Is that even a thing?" Krysta asked.
"For normal Incubus, yes. For me, no. I am only using Charm as an embodiment of my body. This is to draw her out."
"Her?" Angelian asked with an annoyed expression.
"Another Eldrich who has been spying over this place. She did well to hide from Breveros. But she overestimated herself and thought I wouldn't be affected. I'm sure that kiss was deeply engraved in her heart. Kilian. I leave you in charge. It's time to reveal the lust hidden in mystery." Nightwing immediately, he flew away, not waiting for Krysta's father to reply.
But as Nightwing left, the team was confused.
"Kiss? Who else kissed Nightwing? Mechiel and Scarlet murdered the only woman he kissed!" Monica frowned.
"Whoever it is, I'll kill her myself." Sherah also raged.
Angelian was also clenching her fist, and the dragon's power was appearing.
"Calm down, ladies. I think I understand." Kilian Sword Saint answered.
"You know about it, father?" Krysta asked.
"Sort of. Nightwing is announcing to awaken the lust of that person. I know Nightwing has not kissed anyone else. That means the most likely candidate was the woman he kissed. But this one has a purpose. He needs to spur Breveros to act. This means among the women serving, Breveros is a puppet of sorts. An Eldrich must have the power to take over control of these women." Kilian deduced.
"In any case, let's do our job here. Angelian, do as commanded. Find the weakest, troubled, and pained souls around here, and I believe that we would have another night of fornication like the last. Let's proceed as planned. Right now, we already have several women in power for our easy exploitation. This will be another opportunity to increase it." Killian answered.
As Nightwing flew, a tremendous sensation of lust was unsealed. The Mysterion that held it in vanished and all women were affected. The powers awakened and triggered their lust. And many of the women who had spent a night with the minions of Nightwing were quivering in longing desire.
Many women in the camp were startled as they felt their lust burn.
Princess Pamela felt the surging heat that caused her to remember.
On that day, she appeared to meet Estus to punish him for his crimes against the king. But that was not what had happened. Instead of Estus getting punished, the distinguished princess was the one that was punished.
She gave in to the lust for the entire day and was conjoined in great passion. But her lust never died out. Estus had become the man that she longed for. The strict and holy princess had never fallen into the trap of great lust.
She never even felt such lust when she spent time with her husband. But, since the experience, Pamela could not. The nectar of lust was just too sweet for her.
"...I have to find a reason to meet with him again!" Pamela cursed as she sat up from her bed. She was at a noble's house. When they arrived, they took the opportunity to get some rest in proper houses.
"Pamela? What's wrong?" Prince Tauror was next to her.
"Nothing, my love." Pamela smiled and embraced the man.
Tauror smiled and embraced back. The death of his paramour made him depressed, and he spent time with Princess Pamela all the more.
Tauror made a deep sigh.
"Ever since Pamela went in torture Estus, she has returned with great love and comfort. And every night, she would long for me." Tauror smiled and felt at the ease of the love he now had but once took for granted.
As for Pamela, she was acting doubly sweet towards Tauror because of the guilt she felt after that day. She was also paranoid that people would guess what had happened.
But now, the triggering call pushed her beyond her limits. Even after making love with Tauror, it wasn't enough.
Not only her, but the ripple of power awakened the women who served Breveros.
Somewhere in the dark moon watching the Planesworld, Eldrich felt her bones quiver.
She recalled the last time Nightwing kissed her. The act brought uncontrollable lust to her, and she had a hard time resisting it.
"That... brat!" She raged. But she couldn't waste this time. It was a possibility that would not happen again!
Nightwing arrived in the area, and his blood dug into the ground creating an energy formation circle hidden within the soil and was heightened with blood magic.
The move was costly, but since Nightwing had absorbed the blood of many darkling beasts and the people that were secretly killed.
And so, the trap was laid. Nightwing assumed a monstrous form that combined the form of Mammon, the dragonic blood he had, to appear like a Fallen.
The form of the Fanged Fallen had appeared.
Nightwing then waited as Darklings appeared. He had been calling them to himself, and Nightwing began to fight the Darklings and massacre them as he drank their blood.
A few minutes later, Nightwing sensed the arrival of a woman.
His beastly monstrous form stood as he continued to pant.
The area was full of the power of Charm, thanks to the blood offering hidden below. And since Nightwing stood at the center, the woman who arrived thought it was Nightwing's power.
The lust she had felt drew her without fear.
"Are you sure you want to approach me? The last time we kissed, your tendrils died." Nightwing glared as the woman approached.
Yet even with the warning, the Cardinal woman moved closer wearing an arrogant smile.
