Chapter 135: Chapter 118 – The Search for Fairies

The church of the Eminence of Sin in Radevic was up and running by the second day. People around these parts flocked over by the hundreds with outstretched palms. Though most were all out to fill their bellies rather than to attend church, it would only be a matter of time. Kanae watched as her worshipers count increased in real time as influence continued to spread. Unfortunately, it had slowed down significantly over the past three years. The Supreme One and The Many were monumentally more widespread.

It probably didn't help that Kanae's religion didn't actually have a god but rather just an ideology.

"High Priestess, can I have seconds?" a human child asked, slipping back in line after his first.

"Buzz off to the back of the line, kid! I still haven't gotten my share!" One irate man glowered at the child and grabbed him by the collar.

"Let the boy go," Kanae demanded, placing the man under her charm to do as ordered. "There's plenty to go around, so no need to be pissy."

After filling both their bowls, Kanae released the charm. The man left muttering under his breath, and the child flashed a toothless smile before going back to his friends.

"You're a lot nicer than me. I would've ordered my death knight to drag the asshat out empty-handed," Edina said while sitting back and having an undead hand out bread to the cautious parishioners instead.

"Everyone acts like an animal when they're starved. We're here to help people, not make enemies. Besides, a high priestess shouldn't be turning those in need away." Kanae pridefully inflated her chest.

"Well put, pupil! The path of a colored knight is no different. It is a selfless one paved in difficult choices." Master Marwin nodded approvingly with a bowl in hand.

Kanae jerked in shock. She almost lost the ladle into the deep pot of porridge. The wizard telekinetically lifted the utensil out to pour himself a bowl.

"Who's the old fart?" Edina asked.

"Th-This is my current mentor, Marwin Fransk…" Kanae hesitantly answered.

"Wait, what?!" The squirreling jumped and kicked the chair out from under her.

"Ah, you must be one of the transformed succubi!" Marwin exclaimed about Edina, his eyes glistening with scholarly and sexual curiosity. "A cross between beastman and succubus. Fascinating. You know what this calls for? A threesome! For science, of course!"

"Edina, man the soup kitchen. Master, come here…" Kanae dragged Marwin off to the side and out of earshot.

Although a few people shot them awkward glances, they were quick to turn their attention back to the food.

"Alright, what are you doing here? Out of Aidenhall, too?" Kanae asked.

"I didn't find my maid-dressed succubus first thing in the morning, so I came to find you myself! Did you forget about your lessons?" Marwin folded his arms, looking none too pleased that Kanae wasn't there to give him his good morning quickie.

"Guh… Sorry…"

"It's fine, pupil." He placed a reassuring hand on Kanae's head. "You were missing for good reason. You're in luck though. Your lesson for today involves joining an adventuring party and helping them to complete a quest. As you may have learned from Silver, it is normal for Knights of Colors to lend a hand where possible. Your travels and duties will bring you to many places, but there is no place with greater resources than an adventurer's hall."

Like the time Esta traveled with a party to slay the dragon sighted in Orturic.

"You just want me to join a random group and do a quest? I have a feeling there's more to this…"

"Very keen. As expected of my student! The truth is… Elizabeth has dug up the recipe to the anti-succubus magic potion she concocted long ago. It contains a rather peculiar ingredient called 'fairy moss' found in a cave within Faebog, a swampland south of Radevic," Marwin explained.

"That means there's a chance the Rown Company is there collecting it," Kanae said.

"Yes. Perhaps you may find out more. I want you to accompany two academic adventurers, Seif and Panner, who happen to be recruiting help to go that way. They won't know your true reason, but at least no one will suspect your intentions as anything other than a knight's training."

"Then I shall go with," Esta said, coming up from behind and revealing herself to have eavesdropped on the conversation.

"I know your Loyalty Fixation makes leaving Kanae's side difficult, but remember that this is also part of her lessons to becoming Knight of Amethyst. Trust that your master can do this," the wizard implored.

"I'll be fine, Esta. Promise." Kanae nodded. "Until I get back, stay here and keep Edina from running amok with her undead."

The drakeling sulked. "As you command…"

Kanae headed straight to Radevic's adventurer hall with a vague description of what Seif and Panner looked like. Seif was a beastman kobold, a race with a canine head and body of a human. Panner was human. Both were scholars from distant lands, having come to Radevic to expand their knowledge. They had apparently run into trouble finding help at the hall, and that would be where Kanae came in.

When Kanae got there, both of them had their heads in their hands. Probably bemoaning the fact that the adventurers here were lazy good-for-nothings. They were dressed in scholarly robes, not fit at all for fighting or traveling. The only suitable 'adventurer' aspect about them were the out of place swords at their belts.

"Seif and Panner? I heard you two are looking for help heading to Faebog." Kanae made herself known walking up to them.

"I told you we don't have money to give… we only need a hand to— succubus? Succubus!" Panner cried, stumbling out of his seat and drawing his shortsword.

"Stay back!" The other one, the kobold, bared his fangs in a pathetic attempt to scare Kanae. "I might not look like much, but kobolds pack a bite!"

"Hey… Something's weird… Why's no one raising arms?" the human asked his beastman companion.

Kanae pushed the sword from her face. "Because most people in Radevic know me to be the future Knight of Amethyst of the Order of Colors. Do you want to get to Faebog or not?" 

The two traded uneasy looks. After clearing up the misunderstanding, they ordered Kanae a drink and something to eat.

"Aidenhall could have sent a full-fledged knight instead of one in training, but I guess we're in no position to be picky," Panner said, pushing his glasses up and turning a derisive gaze to the other adventurers in the hall.

"You're not going to drain us when we're out there… are you?" Seif asked.

"Unless you want to." Kanae winked, causing both of them to swallow hard. "Look, I'm not risking my position by forcing myself on two random guys. I'm here to help because it's part of my training to become Knight of Amethyst. So, are you going to tell me what the run is for or not?"

They nodded to each other, seemingly accepting Kanae's help at last. Although she could see some slight reservation in their wandering eyes.

"We're investigating the disappearance of Faebog's fairies," Seif said.

"The fairies are missing?" Kanae gasped.

"Yes," Panner answered, then pulled out two vials containing dirt samples and blades of grass. One was growing well and the other was wilting. "Fairies play an important role in the environments they lived for ages in because the biome eventually becomes reliant on their magic. Faebog is one such place. These are samples taken months apart. You can probably guess which one is before and which is after. We want to go back to Faebog and find out why, but it is a dangerous place full ridiculously high level monsters."

Kanae finished her beer and stood up. "Which is where I come in. In that case, leave fighting monsters to me. I'm ready to go if you guys are."

The trio hitched a ride on a wagon leaving Radevic that brought them somewhat close to Faebog. They had to walk the rest of the way. Thankfully, they had set off early and still had plenty of daylight to travel under. Seif and Panner carried heavy knapsacks that Kanae couldn't fathom what could be inside. She only needed a small satchel that contained the essentials.

While Seif was leading the way through the dense swamplands with his sense of smell, Kanae struck up a conversation with Panner.

"So, you two are academic adventurers. What's the difference between that and regular adventurers?" Kanae asked.

"We're not after gold or fame," Panner began. "Our expeditions and adventures are funded by our universities for the purpose of acquiring knowledge! To become an academic adventurer is the most esteemed career students of the mind could ask for."

"If it's knowledge you're seeking, there's a whole chunk of land waiting to be explored in the Commonwealth. We could probably use your talents of the non-killing kind up there," she said.

"Wait, 'we' as in… Are you—"

"Sh! There's something up ahead," Seif warned, beckoning them to low and to come closer.

They waded through ankle-deep waters to catch up and followed Seif's gaze to a giant, walking mushroom. It stood maybe ten feet tall, had no face, and the cap was red with white spots.

"Bog runner mushroom! Doesn't really run, but it's a living mushroom that moves around to spread its spores," Panner explained.

The mushroom monster they called a bog runner sprayed a mist of pollen from underneath its cap. A sheet of white mycelium grew just below the surface of the water, and smaller mushrooms of all kinds sprouted quickly. Seemingly satisfied by the growth, it moved on elsewhere.

When the coast was clear, they emerged from their hiding place.

"They grew really fast," Kanae muttered.

"I recognize some of these!" Seif exclaimed excitedly. "Morel, agaric, toadstool…"

Kanae maneuvered carefully so as to not step on any. One mushroom however, shuddered and stretched up from the ground. She jolted from the shock as it plunged into her pussy.

Panner blushed. "By the way, that's a—"

"Wrenshroom, I know… I've encountered one before." Kanae wrenched it out of her hole and tossed it.

Psssshhh!

"Damn it!" Seif stumbled back, coughing uncontrollably and waving away a burst of pollen.

"What happened?" Panner asked as they rushed up to him.

"Got too close to a mushroom and it sprayed me with spores…"

Kanae fluttered her wings to blow it away. She shielded her nose to avoid catching a whiff, but Seif looked fine. It might not have been poisonous.

Just in case…

"Drink these." Kanae handed each of them an antidote. "I have a friend who's very particular about bringing antidotes after a bad experience."

They pressed forward after taking the antidotes until they reached a small, elevated glade. The area wasn't submerged in a thin layer of water like the rest of the swamp. Up ahead was a small cave.

"Stay here. I'm going to make sure it's safe first," Kanae said, but as soon as she took a step, she began to feel woozy. "Ugh… What's going on? You guys feeling this…?"

Seif and Panner were nowhere to be seen. They were just behind her a second ago. She was about to retrace her step when three alraunes appeared.

"Alraunes…? Where did you take them?" she shouted.

Neither answered.

"Up here!" Panner shouted.

The two academic scholars were trapped in the trees by a net of vines, each in the clutches of an alraune. Their pants were down. The plant monsters were jerking them off with what looked like a pitcher plant.

"They… ahh… aren't alraunes!" Seif corrected her in the midst of panting. "They're dryads! Unlike alraunes, dryads aren't really alive. They're about as alive as venus flytraps or cape sundew plants. The reason for their beautiful appearance was to lure unsuspecting people, like how a pitcher plant lured insects with a sweet scent!"

"And you didn't sniff them out or did you let yourselves be caught on purpose? Because it sure looks like you're enjoying yourselves up there!" Kanae shouted.

She made the mistake of shifting her weight. The sudden movement made the dryads pounce. If they weren't really alive, then—

"Titanic Blow!" Kanae punched a hole through one dryad. It crumpled to the ground as a pile of withering leaves and vines.

The other two caught Kanae by her arms and knocked her to the ground. She tried to charm them, but the spell failed. They didn't have minds to control after all.

Vines sprouted from the ground to bind Kanae's wrists and ankles to the earth. One of them kissed her, forcing her to drink the nectar secreting from its mouth. The other pushed her tabard up. A cluster of tendrils that was the dryad's tongue wriggled into Kanae's pussy. She threw her head back in pleasure as the many tendrils combined into a single, thick stalk to penetrate her.

Damn it, Kanae thought.

They were both monsters that drained the energy from other beings to survive. However, dryads weren't going to just let her go after sucking their fill.

Kanae's racing thoughts were interrupted when the dryad kissing her parted ways. It planted its knees to either side of her head, showing off a pretty green pussy.

"Oh, what the hell. I'm the succubus here. Bring it!" Kanae taunted.

The dryad sat on her face. Nectar gushed from its pussy, too. Kanae lapped it all up eagerly. Her own pleasure continued to build from being tongue-fucked by the other dryad. It stared with its large beady and dead eyes that knew only to feed. 

Everything flashed white. Kanae came so hard she squirted. The dryad was all too eager to absorb the spray for her own sustenance. She needed to end this soon, otherwise there was no telling what would happen to Seif and Panner.

If only Titanic Blow wasn't the only offensive attack or spell she had… Wait.

[Titanic Blow: Using your bare fists or weapon that deals blunt physical force, crush a target with incredible strength.]

A weapon… that dealt blunt physical force.

Kanae switched on Futanari. Since the dryad was eating her pussy, the dick grew erect within the plant monster's mouth. It looked up in surprise with a mouthful of dick.

"Bestial Strength… Titanic Blow!" Kanae thrusted upwards and obliterated the dryad's head.

The one riding Kanae's face glanced back to find its companion defeated. The vines loosened enough for her to break free. She turned the tables of the last dryad, pinning it to the ground.

"Titanic Blow!" Kanae plunged her dick into the dryad and pulverized it from the waist up.

"I… I'm going to… ejaculate!" Seif cried, reminding Kanae that the two idiots were still up there.

"Oooh… Wait!" Panner exclaimed. "I'm almost—"

Kanae didn't give Panner a chance to finish. She flew up and destroyed the last two dryads. The vine net loosened, but she acted quickly to catch them as they fell. Panner's throbbing dick fired streaks of semen onto her chest on the way down.

"Sorry! I couldn't hold it in… aha…" Panner rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Whew… That was a great adventure. Can't wait to pen that in when we get back," Seif said.

"Wait. Come again? Are we done?" Kanae asked.

Seif stiffened, and Panner nudged his friend hard in the back.

"Well, you know how it is! Faebog is dangerous, and there's no need to stay any longer than needed," Panner explained.

Kanae grabbed them by the scruff of their necks as they turned to leave. "You mean to tell me the whole point of coming out here… WAS TO HAVE DRYADS GET YOU OFF?!"

"We're actual academics, I swear!" Seif whimpered, ears drooping and tail twitching between his legs. "Just not the beakers and textbook kinds. We compile and study sexual physiology, behavior, and processes in monsters. There just… happened to be dryads out here. We, uh… We'd like to study a succubus, too!"

"Not in the mood anymore. What about the missing fairies?" Kanae asked, dropping them on their asses.

"The problem with the fairies is real! We also wanted to study them, but… as you can see. We haven't been able to find any despite being told Faebog was in abundance of them." Panner threw his arms out in disappointment.

Kanae sighed. She whipped around and headed for the cave to investigate it herself.

"Where are you going? We should stick together!" Seif urged as he and Panner caught up.

A fireball suddenly fired out of the cave. All three of them dove to the ground as it roared past their heads and exploded in the trees behind them.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll eat your fucking face!" a high-pitched voice squeaked at them.

"Who said that?" Kanae asked.

"I'm right here, you bat bitch! Maybe I should rip the brain outta your head along with all that earwax!"

A bright ball of light, that couldn't have been more than three-inches in height, flew out of the cave and into view. She wore a pink and green petal dress. A tulip blossom draped her head with a stem coming out the back like a ponytail.

"A fairy!" all three of them exclaimed.

"Oh, gods… an actual fairy… possibly the most aggressive and mischievous beings known to man." Seif shuddered.

"Cylia's the name, and I'm the toughest, baddest, biggest bitch in all of Faebog. If you think you're gonna take me, too, then you got another thing coming. Put 'em up. It's time to throw hands, you fairy-jarring meatbags!" Cylia raised her fists and threw a few punches to size them up.

"The fairies really are missing! Did something happen to the others?" Kanae asked.

"All my brothers and sisters got canned. So, you ain't here to capture me? That's a relief. Guess I don't hafta grind you up into a paste to wear as lotion." The fairy made a shooing motion to something behind them.

Kanae, Seif, and Panner turned around slowly and came face to face with the open jaws of giant plant monstrosities. They retracted into the dirt to camouflage with the undergrowth, looking like innocent flowers and plants.

This fairy was a lot stronger than Kanae anticipated. Thankfully, there was a middleground to be reached.

"Cylia, I'm looking for the ones who captured your people. We can help each other, but I need you to come back to the city with me to answer a few questions," Kanae said.

"Tempting. I don't normally accept help from non-fae folk. Lasted time we trusted 'em, they put us in jars for fucks' sake! But… you seem like a swell gal. Fine. So long as I can eat the bastards, shit them out, and use them as fertilizer, you got yourself a deal, toots!" Cylia spat on her palm and extended her hand.

Kanae extended a finger for Cyla to grab and they shook on it.
