Chapter 79: Chapter 63 – Tackling the Rift (Part 3)

Talis conjured a giant magic shield to protect the entire group from Threcia's breath of fire. It was so hot, hotter than Estaline or Wilstein's flames, that Kanae was sweating up a puddle. After all, Threcia was of the salamander race, a lizard more fiery than drakelings. The same race, whose stone Wilstein had used to produce his magic from.

"How do we fight a damn demigod?" Edina cried, her bare body also glistening with sweat.

"I can't… hold on much longer…" Talis warned.

Everyone dove away as the shield shattered. The licking flames blew just over their heads and singed the tips of their hair.

"Grant Fire Resistance!" Jannie incanted.

Kanae glanced at his own body that glowed with a thin layer of blue light. The fires became slightly bearable. 

"Bond me up, baby!" Edina shouted from the ground.

Would they even be strong enough to defeat Threcia with that? Worth a try.

"Bond!" Kanae formed a connection with Edina, stimulating her wetter than the heat could make her sweat.

The necromancer leapt to her feet, lifting her staff.

"Arise, Bone Brute!"

The raging behemoth of a skeletal monster charged head-first at Threcia. It threw a heavy fist at her, but she ducked low, then returned an uppercut that knocked the head away. Edina's bone brute staggered backwards and fell over the railing.

"What?!" Kanae and Edina gaped.

Threcia raced circles around them, slinging fireballs that they couldn't avoid. Shatiel, using her wand, dispelled each and every spell thrown at them.

"Come on, you guys can fight better than that!" Threcia whooped.

The warrior demigoddess stopped slinging spells and jumped into the center of the group, scattering everyone in all directions with a tornado of fire.

Kanae landed hard on his side and crashed into the railing with Edina. He quickly patted out the fires on her tail, then realized she had been knocked unconscious. 

"Kanae, Edina!" Will hurried up to them, pressing both hands to Edina's chest to heal her injuries.

"At this rate, we're going to lose," Kanae said, panting between breaths.

Across the plaza, Shatiel and Talis were also knocked out. The other two, Jannie and Clara, faced Threcia to protect their fallen companions.

"That's not the Kanae I fought alongside in the Necro Lord's tomb. We've fought our way out from worse, right?" Will smiled.

"But even with Jannie's fire resistance magic, we're still getting burned. I can't fight normally either! If only we had Arenade's ring of fire protection— wait," Kanae muttered to himself.

"Did you come up with an idea?" he asked.

"A stupid one. Stay here and protect Edina. I'm going in!"

Kanae took his clothes off. They would only get burned, and he needed to to activate Exhibitionist Spellcasting. Naked now and feeling the oppressive heat from Threcia blasting his body, Kanae checked his character sheet to find that the INT stat had increased in value from A to S.

Since Threcia's back was turned to him, Jannie and Clara saw him first.

"What are you thinking, fool?" Clara shouted.

"Eeek! Why are you naked?" Jannie cried.

When Threcia finally glanced over her shoulder, she erupted into laughter.

"Pfft— ahaha! Nice, nice! I think I know what you're trying to do. Unfortunately, as a demigoddess, I have no such mortal desires. You cannot tempt me," Threcia bellowed, clutching her stomach as she laughed.

"Jannie! Can you buff me with stronger fire resistance?" Kanae asked.

"I can, but it's only for one person, and I have to drop the group's fire resistance buff to do it. The rest of us will die of heatstroke!" Jannie explained.

"Please, trust me to beat this," he insisted.

The two elves traded glances and nodded.

"Whatever you have planned, it better work— Greater Fire Protection!" Jannie casted the spell directly at Kanae.

Everything suddenly felt fine to Kanae, as though it wasn't hot at all. However, the others fell to their knees from the sweltering heat, no longer protected by the fire resistance buff.

Casting aside his hesitation, Kanae charged forward and slammed into Threcia, who was too distracted from laughing to notice him coming. He pinned her to the shut doors. However, holding her like this and being so close, even Jannie's buff couldn't stay the heat. It was like lying on a bed of hot coals or a stove turned on. When the demigoddess tried to fight back, bolts of ice froze her hands above her head and feet to the ground.

It was Clara's last ditch effort to help before passing out from the heat, and Jannie would follow soon if he didn't succeed.

"Okay, I'll bite. What's the plan now?" Threcia asked, unfazed from being stuck.

"Next is this." Kanae activated Futanari, growing his dick out and throbbing between their bellies.

"I already told you, I—"

Kanae found her pussy and plunged his dick inside. Threcia's eyes went wide, throwing her head back and drawing a sharp gasp.

"Oh, god… My dick really will melt off…" Kanae mumbled.

It was beyond hot. It burned so much that he wasn't sure the fire protection was working, but boy did being inside Threcia feel good.

"Ahh… Y-You… what do you think… you're doing, you crazy succubus?" Threcia stammered, at last showing apprehension.

"Don't think of anything else… just stay there and take it— Turn Horny!" Kanae casted reaptedly while looking Threcia dead in the eyes and thrusting into her.

The Drain skill was working overtime, keeping Kanae alive and healed. As long as he continued having sex with Threcia, all the burns would only be temporary.

As long as Kanae held on, too, because he was getting close to climaxing.

Their hips clapped louder and harder. Any sweat they produced immediately steamed away.

"I… ascended as a warrior! I won't be so easily defeated!" Threcia exclaimed, breaking her hands loose from their icy prison.

"Turn Hor… Uh, oh— mmph?!"

To Kanae's surprise, Threcia grabbed his head and kissed him. In doing so, she prevented him from uttering Turn Horny anymore. Terrified that she was going to breathe fire down his throat, he squeezed his eyes shut and prepared to die. A long, sizzling tongue entered and drilled down instead, burning him more than any spicy food he had ever eaten. 

Threcia shuddered. Her pussy quivered so much, the vibrations massaged Kanae to climax. They separated from each other, with Kanae falling onto his back and Threcia slumping to the ground once the ice on her feet melted.

"Did I… win?" Kanae asked aloud.

[Congratulations! You are now level 57!]

The trembling demigoddess vanished in a burst of flames, and the doors began to open, groaning as they grinded against the floor.

One by one, the others came to consciousness, clutching their heads.

"How did you defeat her?" Jannie asked as the first to awaken.

"J-Just a little ingenuity," Kanae hastily answered, hurrying to turn off the Futanari skill and putting his clothes back on.

"Ugh… Feels like I had the worst hangover of my life…" Edina croaked, reaching into her satchel for water to drink, then splashed the rest on Will's face since he was the last to wake up.

Threcia's heat caused them to sweat buckets, but a little headache was a small price to pay.

"Hmph. Maybe you're not so bad after all," Clara huffed in his direction.

"Bringing you was the right call. Well done." Talis extended a hand to shake Kanae's.

Well done was probably what Kanae would call his dick right now. Thankfully, the third and final trial was over.

The party spent a few moments recovering before climbing the last steps. Just as a precaution in case Threcia decided to screw with them some more. At the very top, they came to a quaint room with an overhang of vines and leaves weaving through wooden beams. There were no furniture except for a single chest at the center of the room.

"Congratulations, champions! What a climaxing— I mean, climactic final trial, that was! There lies your prize. Claim it. Continue to do the Supreme One proud. Go with his grace. Perhaps we shall meet each other again in another Rift," Threcia said, and the last part of the sentence only Kanae understood.

"Oh, shit! The loot's finally here!" Edina exclaimed, having already dressed back up since the trials were over.

"Wait." Talis put a hand up. "Perhaps we should let Kanae open it and have the first pick? After all, she did clear the final trial."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Even the reluctant elves acquiesced.

Kanae accepted graciously. He knelt down in front of the chest, with the others breathing down his neck and just as eager to see what was inside. When he reached out, the chest snapped open and sprung to life.

"EHH?!"

The chest knocked Kanae to the ground, licking his whole body wet with a large, red tongue.

"Mimic! It's a mimic!" Edina shouted.

"What kind of sexually assaulting mimic is this?!" Kanae cried.

A distant, echoing laughter rang in Kanae's ears. Threcia. That trickster of a demigoddess…

Will and Talis bashed the mimic off Kanae with their shields. It flew across the room, smashing into the far wall and falling to the ground limp. The jingle of coin attracted their eyes to the mimic, now dead, where a trove of gold and item loot lay inside the mouth.

Edina grabbed two handfuls of gold and threw them into the air, letting it all rain down on them in a shower of coins.

The haul, at least according to Edina's keen eye for money, came out to be 100,000 gold, in addition to a Ring of Spell Warding, Forest Nymph's Regrowth Staff, Lionhead Buckler, Vampiric Dagger, Frostguard Greaves, Wand of Spell Potency, and…

"Chalice of Endless Booze?" Edina cocked her head sideways, then stuffed it into her stachel. "Dibs."

"So much for letting me get the first pick." Kanae rolled his eyes, not that he wanted to become an alcoholic so young anyway.

Every piece of loot sounded really cool to use, but only one stuck out. The Regrowth Staff. The wooden rod had flower buds all along the shaft and a pink flower in full bloom at the very top. It reminded Kanae of Arenade, and thinking of her weighed down his heart. If only she was here.

[Forest Nymph's Regrowth Staff: Attuning to this weapon will imbue the user with dryadic powers, temporarily transforming them into a dryad until the attunement ends. Empowers all healing and nature-based spells.]

Well, well. Transforming into a dryad? This might be useful.

They split the gold seven ways. Will ended up with the Lionhead Buckler, and everyone was happy with their new enchanted equipment. 

Especially Edina.

"Oooohh! This is the best thing in the world!" Edina exclaimed, magically filling up the chalice with more alcohol to chug down. Since it required her mana to make it happen, she was both getting exhausted from expending mana and growing even more shit-faced with each drink.

The party of seven celebrated with a feast upon returning to the adventurer's hall. They spared no expenses, using the gold from the chest to pay for their extravagant dinner.

"Cheers." Talis raised a stein to Kanae. "May this be the beginning of a fruitful friendship for years to come!"

Shatiel, Clara, and Jannie begrudgingly raised their own cups to toast.

"Cheers." Kanae smiled. 

As the others returned to their foods and drinks, Kanae returned his attention to the new staff. Just how was this supposed to work? Attune? What did that mean? He tilted the staff left and right, forward and back, inspected every inch of it to no avail.

"Not sure how it works? I expected nothing less from an inexperienced spellcaster," Jannie joked from across the table.

"Alright, if you're so experienced, how am I supposed to attune to it?" Kanae asked.

"Cast a harmless spell on it. Special enchanted items that require attuning must harmonize with you, and the best way to do that is through a spell," she explained.

Kanae quietly casted Turn Horny under his breath at the staff. Every single flower bloomed at once. His skin was dyed a leafy green and vines emerged from his back that grabbed ahold of Shatiel, Clara, Jannie, and the drunk Edina, lifting them into the air. Talis and Will, including other adventurers in the hall, stared with their mouths agape.

"Hey, let us down!" Clara cried.

"Ehhh? I don't know how to!" Kanae shouted back, but in his panic he sprouted more vines that bound the girls and crept underneath their clothing.
