Chapter 204

Chappy, the living grimoire, had everyone captured firmly in its flailing appendages. Bulbous warts and tiny holes dotted the length of its smooth yet slimy skin. The grimoire itself was suspended in mid-air. Something like saliva dribbled down the pages like a drooling wild animal.

However, it had talked earlier and possessed a rather perverted male voice. The grimoire was anything but a wild animal.

"Ch-Chappy, right? Can I convince you to let the others go? You can have a go with me all you like in return," Kanae bargained with the grimoire.

"Silly fool! If someone provided you with four unique meals, would you decline three and have them replaced by more of the fourth? Nay! Have it all. Consume it all. Just as I will partake of you four!" Chappy grew more tentacles from its pages to assault them.

Lani was clearly the favorite. Numerous tentacles stretched her limbs out until she was spread eagle. They ripped off her robes, revealing a pair of bouncy breasts and a trimmed carpet that matches the drapes. The Saint Priest's eyes went wide and misty. Her nipples, however, became noticeably hard and crotch dripping wet.

Two tentacles plunged into the beastman woman's pussy. She threw her head back, crying out in pleasure. At least until another tentacle plugged her mouth shut.

"Ahhh, yes! My delectable servant, your taste is utterly irresistible. We're far too compatible!" Chappy constricted Lani's plump thighs, pinching the fat wherever there was a gap.

Before Kanae and Esta's eyes, the image of the upright Saint Priest shattered quickly. Lani's rosy cheeks took on a deeper shade of red. Her eyes rolled back. She bucked her hips against the tentacles not to fight them, but to fall into the rhythm of their thrusts.

"Mmm! Yesh! It'sh sho good! Do me more, Chappy… Make me crazy again like you always do!" Lani screamed as a tentacle invaded all her holes.

"Strange. I cannot taste the magic of this one. No matter. Even that which has no nutritional value has its own charm!" Chappy said of Lapis.

"Hey, who are you calling nutritionless?" Lapis complained, only to be shut up by a tentacle shoving into her throat.

Esta breathed deeply in what Kanae recognized as drakelings preparing to blow fire, but Chappy wrapped several appendages around her mouth.

"No, no, no! My pages will burn if you breathe fire here. I also don't want to risk you roasting my meals. After all, it's not often I get to sample a succubus!" Chappy cackled.

Dozens of tentacles trembling with anticipation lifted into Kanae's field of vision. All of the holes along the shafts were dripping. Salivating. They attacked her at once, coiling around her breasts, prodding her ass and pussy, and rubbing against her cheeks. The relentless assault, however, was all teasing. Chappy took his sweet time teasing Kanae. He didn't forcibly penetrate her like with Lani.

Kanae grinded on the tentacle tips that toyed with her. She desired nothing but to be fucked senseless, and the living grimoire could tell.

"Hmmm. You're not like other succubi, are you? How might I put my bookmark on it? Others seek to enslave with sex. You, on the other hand, endeavor to be enslaved by sex. Much like my sweet Lani! I wonder what degenerate series of events led you to this?" Chappy mused aloud.

"Quit psychoanalyzing me and fuck me already!" Kanae pleaded.

"I have a better idea!" he said.

Chappy brought Kanae and Lani close together, then yanked his tentacles out of the latter's pussy. He spread her quivering lips apart, giving Kanae a good look at how wet she was.

"We're more alike than you think, Succubus. Care for a taste? I may be a ravenous page-turner, but oh do I love to share the climax with a kindred spirit!" Chappy said.

"Huu… Chappy… I feel so empty and lonely… I want more," Lani moaned like a bitch in heat.

Kanae gulped hard, but she ultimately declined.

"What? You reject my offer to indulge together?" Chappy asked, his leather bindings tensing up.

"You wouldn't believe how badly I want to fuck Lani. I get to grow stronger and have a good time. But I'm better than that. I don't take control of the people who do me no wrong. Otherwise, I'd be no better than the Queen-Mother and her daughters," Kanae said.

"I-I want to cum, so Amethyst… Please, fuck me…" Lani begged sweetly.

Chappy levitated up to Kanae with two tentacles making an urging motion at Lani.

"Alright, well. You don't have to ask me twice!" Kanae was just far away from Lapis to use magic and switched on Futanari. She slipped on the Cock Ring of Hardening and, in one foul swoop, thrusted her enlarged meat stick into Lani's pussy.

"HNNGH?!" Lani heaved violently. Her face contorted with both pain and pleasure.

It was an extremely tight fit. The walls of her pussy clenched and quivered with a powerful vise. Kanae braced both hands on Lani's pudgy thighs. Her fingers disappeared into the fat, they were so soft.

"Isn't it amazing, Succubus? Feel how tight and hot Lani's pussy is!" Chappy laughed with exuberant joy.

"Does it hurt? I'll make you feel better," Kanae said, casting Turn Horny on the Saint Priest.

"I can't take it! I'm going insane!" Lani thrashed about with wild abandon.

There were plenty of inches left on Kanae's dick, but it wouldn't fit into the short-stack of a woman that Lani was. She was able to see the bulge on the beastman woman's belly. They were both lost to pleasure. Before either of them realized it, Lani was sucking on Kanae's tongue.

Chappy indulged himself, too. His tentacles wasted no time worming their way into Kanae's holes. Her pussy, ass, and tail were all up for grabs.

"Lani… I'm going to cum inside you!" Kanae winced.

"In… side… INSIDE! DO IT INSIDE ME! FILL LANI'S PUSSY UP WITH ALL YOUR CUM!" Lani bellowed with unrestrained, lustful passion.

The dam burst open. Kanae's mind went white as she unleashed a flood of cum, climaxing from both her dick and pussy. So much came out that Lani's stomach swelled up.

All of the tentacles went limp and retracted into the grimoire. Freed from their grasp, everyone dropped to the ground. Lani hit the floor with a fountain of ejaculate spewing out of her pussy. She laid there, the only sign of life was the twitching from ensuing aftershock of orgasms.

"Whew! That was great, that was great! We should do it again sometime. Orgies are always more fun with more people. Don't you agree, Succubus?" Chappy asked.

"Yeah," Kanae answered absentmindedly because her mind was preoccupied elsewhere. "Why didn't I level? That's weird…"

"Oh, that's simple. I took it all. Much in the same way that a succubus drains their victim. I deprived you of your experience gain by taking it into me!" he explained.

"Damn it! So much for getting stronger!" She beat the ground with her fists.

"Ugh… My head…" Esta groaned, clutching her horns with both hands.

By contrast, Lapis looked perfectly fine since Chappy mentioned that he couldn't drain mana from her. Likely as a result of the anti-magic meisterium.

"I feel like my insides need repairing after being taken so roughly…" Lapis complained.

That made two, because Kanae was sure she had rearranged Lani's guts from that thorough fucking.

"Lani! Are you okay? Should we bring you to a healer?" Kanae asked, patting the side of the beastman's cheek.

"I'm up!" Lani sprung upright. "What happened? Is Chappy sated?"

They thumbed over their shoulders to the floating, now tentacle-less grimoire.

"Masochistic as always, Lani!" Chappy guffawed.

After apologizing profusely for roping them into her problems, Lani got dressed and made everyone tea. They sat together on the tower's balcony, overlooking Radevic.

"Once again, allow me to introduce you to Chappy. My living grimoire. Without him, I'm still a capable warlock. Thanks to Chappy though, I've been able to delve deep into dark and ancient magic. Our arrangement… as you experienced first hand… is a little awkward," Lani explained, gripping her arm out of embarrassment.

"Lani says that, but she enjoys fucking just as much as me!" Chappy rolled out a slimy tongue to give her cheek a good lick.

"Can you clear something up? How was Chappy able to use magic? Lapis here has meisterium inside her. That should be rendering all magic inactive," Kanae said.

"Hah! Magic? Naive child. Does a slime need magic to move? Or do you require magic to strike flint and tinder to create fire? Nay. I simply am and everything about me functions as an extension of myself!" he exclaimed haughtily.

"Slimes are technically dead without their magic core," Esta corrected him.

"Silence, you. Another word out of you, and I'll stick my tentacles back into your gushing holes again. I'll do it!"

"Ch-Chappy, I told you not to threaten other people like that! I'll… I'll take care of your needs after they leave, so keep it inside your pages!" Lani scolded.

The living grimoire giggled pervertedly and licked Lani some more. She didn't seem to dislike it… What a weird relationship they had. Still, being deprived of experience from having sex with Lani was a huge letdown.

"Wait… Did you just say dark magic? Lani, Chappy. Do you two know about devils?" Kanae asked.

"Why do you want to know about devils?" Lani tensed up and glared.

That was a look of danger that made Kanae shudder in fear. She had almost forgotten Lanil Hammerthorn was a Saint Priest, and had in her possession an unfathomably powerful living grimoire.

"You probably heard that the Grand Eye tasked us to infiltrate Artaggon not too long ago. We discovered a demon, Seer Yesenia, in the Hellfire Badlands who wanted to use dark magic to bring devils into this world," Kanae explained as cautiously as possible.

"I see." She sat back, a lot more relaxed than before. "There are seven devils in total, each representing a cardinal sin. They exist in an immaterial plane as concepts, but given form if they somehow make it to the material plane. Well, given form because of us by embodying our sins. I assume your question pertains to your necromancer friend who's in a coma? Edina Hackett?"

"You know?" She gasped.

"The Grand Eye briefed Lani before. The devil, Haxgorah, in Aidenhall is pertinent info to a Saint Priest, don't you think?" Chappy flew right up to Kanae's face before returning to Lani's side.

In retrospect, Lani being aware of Edina and Haxgorah wasn't surprising. That made things easier. What Kanae really wanted to know now was—

"Is there anything in Chappy that can teach us about how to get rid of a devil?" Kanae asked.

"That is what I've been trying to find out, I'm afraid. Grand Eye Analise tasked me with searching Chappy for a contingency plan in dealing with Haxgorah. It's tough… There's a lot to shift through. Every page I turn, Chappy gets more and more famished. So, a lot of time is spent… having to… s-s-satisfy his hunger." Lani turned bright red.

"Hehehe. You're welcome to turn my pages right now in front of our guests!" Chappy nudged her.

It sounded like just the act of flipping a page demanded something in return. That something being Lani's dignity.

"Lani, I'm begging you. Will you look into Chappy to help me find something to help Edina? Dark magic. Devils. Anything that might lead to a clue!" Kanae stood up and startled them.

"If you believe so strongly that we can be of help, We'll do it! Won't we, Chappy?" Lani smiled at her living grimoire.

"Yeah, sure. But I'll be doing you real good later tonight, if you know what I mean?" Chappy teased the now blushing Saint Priest.

They proceeded to spend the entire afternoon flipping through Chappy's pages. It was strange. No matter how many pages they flipped going forward or back, he never ran out of pages. Apparently, a spellcaster was able to attune to a living grimoire and have some semblance of control. Lani was able to navigate to a list of spells or recipes that Chappy knows. Anything he didn't know, they needed to flip through the endless pages to find.

Chappy wasn't just a spellbook though. He was also an encyclopedia. A creature of his status was on par with a legendary piece of equipment, especially given how versatile he could be to someone.

Unfortunately, looking for information pertaining to devils and dark magic was beginning to seem like a lost cause. The sun was coming down. Arum Taum celebrations grew more impassioned. Chappy was aching to turn Lani into a cum dump and described in poetic detail what he planned to do with her later.

They were about to give up until—

"I found something relating to devils!" Lani shouted.

Kanae, Esta, and Lapis became animated at once. They crowded around to look at the page in the grimoire.

Devils. A conceptual force of nature spawned from people. Since the mortal world was inhospitable to them, their physical forms couldn't take root. They instead take the forms of enchanted and magical items in a much weaker version of themselves, thereby invading the minds of beings who wield these items.

"That sounds a lot like Edina and the Pillar of the Damned. Does it say how to destroy or expel the devils from those items?" Kanae asked.

Lani shook her head. "The next page seems to be about how to turn milk into butter… As if we need to know about that."

Take the form of enchanted and magical items… in a much weaker version of themselves…

"Why didn't that cross my mind earlier?" Kanae muttered.

"You figured something out, Master?" Eliza asked.

"The orbal capacitor can destroy any magic infused into an item. The Pillar of the Damned is no exception!"

"Didn't you have Marwin and Eliza vault it?" Lani cocked her head. "You're also forgetting. In order to power the orbal capacitor, an important ingredient is needed."

The realization hit Kanae like whiplash. She turned to Lapis, whose meisterium core was key to the orbal capacitor's function. However, the dwarven sex automaton held her gaze firmly.

"Do it," Lapis insisted.

"No, I can't… This is a stupid idea after all. I feel bad for even suggesting it!" Kanae shied away now that she understood the cost of doing this.

"This crystal is the reason you lost someone important. Let it also be the reason you gain someone important back," she implored, resting both hands atop her own chest where the core lied.

Kanae bit down on her lip until she tasted iron on her tongue, then nodded.

They explained their hypothesis to Marwin and Eliza back at the Illuminant Repository. After some back and forth arguing about the dangers of their plan, the two agreed with guarded apprehension. Marwin fetched the Pillar of the Damned and the dismantled orbal capacitor. Lani pieced the contraption back together with Eliza's help.

The meisterium core was anti-magic in nature. They couldn't cut into it with magic tools or with magic. It had to be done by hand, using a chisel and hammer.

Lapis laid naked on a table with her chest open to give them access to the crystal core. Marwin stood over her with the tools, chisel primed to carve into the meisterium.

"Are you absolutely sure about this, Lapis? We don't know how much more damaged your core will become by chipping at it again," Marwin explained.

"I'm sure. I want to do this for Kanae. I want to prove that drakeling woman wrong. That I'm not just a tool. The chisel and hammer in your hands are. I'm someone making this decision to help my friends!" Lapis exclaimed.

"Thank you." Kanae grabbed Lapis' right hand and squeezed.

The room held their breaths as Marwin lifted the hammer. It came down hard on the chisel, and Lapis screamed out in agony. Kanae held her hand tighter. It took Eliza, Lani, and Esta holding Lapis down to keep her still.

Each hit to the core felt like a strike to Kanae's chest. Guilt wracked at her heart to put someone who considered her a friend through something like this. She was selfish for wanting this, too. Eventually, Lapis went still.

"I've got it! A small enough piece that should be able to power the orbal capacitor!" Marwin declared with a chunk of ore the size of a fingernail.

"Lapis? Lapis!" Kanae desperately shook Lapis by the shoulders.

Lapis' eyes opened slightly.

"I hope… we can help… your friend," Lapis whispered before her hand went limp.

"Lapis is still alive. Her core remains active. I can tell by my unpowered magical staff," Eliza assured them.

"All that's left to do next…" Marwin was the first to shoot a look at the Pillar of the Damned, followed by everyone else.

"Uhm… I-I don't mean to interrupt a tense moment, but maybe we should take this outside? Firing a powerful beam of anti-magic energy inside the Illuminant Repository might be a little…" Lani trailed off to let them come to the conclusion themselves.

They brought Lapis, the orbal capacitor, and the Pillar of the Damned out to the arena behind Aidenhall. Using their status as instructors, Eliza and Marwin corralled students out of the premises.

Kanae plunged the base of the staff into the dirt so that it was in the standing position. Lani held the orbal capacitor with her back to Aidenhall and facing the staff. If the beam were to shoot wide, the energy would fly out into the distance rather than potentially hitting the palace.

"The stadium is clear. We're ready to begin," Marwin said on his way back.

"I've informed the Grand Eye and several Saint Priests I could find to be on standby. Just out of an abundance of caution should Haxgorah try anything. They have a teleportation pellet in case we need backup," Eliza explained.

To use the very thing meant to usher devils into this world against them… Would this really work? Kanae could only hope. At best, Edina would finally awaken. At worst, they would doom Radevic.

Everyone got into place and signaled to Lani that they were prepared. The Saint Priest fiddled with the contraption for a moment, then it began to vibrate and hum. A gentle, yet terrible sound that reminded Kanae of the moment she lost Arenade. The air around them started distorting. They saw ripples before their very eyes, like the vibrations were tampering with reality.

"You seek… to expunge Haxgorah?!" a wrathful voice boomed.

Smoke billowed from the Pillar of the Damned, much like when they tried to bring Lapis near it the first time. Two, piercing red eyes stared down at them. The smog and cinders formed a demonic appearance that towered over them.

"You're not wanted in this world, devil. Begone from here!" Lani shouted.

The hair on the back of Kanae's neck stood on end. An intensely hot beam fired out of the orbal capacitor, dissipating the smokescreen and hitting the Pillar of the Damned head on. Just as quickly, however, Haxgorah's smokey apparition reformed to hold back the blast.

"Lani, get up!" Chappy cried.

Lani had dropped down to one knee. Kanae hurried over to pull her back up. They had a sexual encounter together, so maybe… She cast Bond on the Saint Priest. When their minds connected, she saw all the depraved sexual acts Chappy had made Lani do.

"W-W-W-What are you doing? Don't look into my memories like that!" Lani screamed over the blast.

"Just keep it up! I'll be damned if I let this devil keep his hold over Edina for even another day!" Kanae growled.

"Your necromancer is mine. This world will be mine. I will engulf it in hellfire if I can't have it!" Haxgorah sent a ghostly hand our way.

"Don't touch them, you greedy bastard!" Chappy bludgeoned the smoke away with his tentacles.

"That voice… you meddling little—"

A flash of light, brighter than Kanae's Nipple Piercings of Impurity, turned the entire world white. They flew backwards and hit the wall. Kanae opened her eyes to find that they were on the other side of the stadium. The other half was missing, blown apart from the ensuing explosion. All that remained was the Pillar of the Damned, now lying flat on the ground. A lateral crack ran down the topmost skull.

"Master, are you alright?" Esta pushed over debris and dirt to pull them out.

"What about… the others?" Kanae coughed.

"Everyone's fine." She gestured to the three spellcasters who were still standing and had brushed off the blast.

"What happened?!" Sheena Darrow came rushing toward them with a small army of Aidenhall knights at her back. She grinded to a halt at the destruction left behind. "Oh, great. Because I'm a thaumaturge, fixing this all up falls to me!"

"Aha… S-S-Sorry, Sheena! At least we've expelled Haxgorah from the staff. Chappy says he doesn't sense the devil anymore," Lani explained.

That didn't make it any better. With a click of her tongue, Sheena went to work clearing the mess. As a thaumaturge, her magic focused on miracles and works of wonders. Telekinesis was one of them. She moved large pieces of rubble away. Anything that was only slightly damaged, she was able to repair them back to their original state. The giant hole in the stadium might take a lot more work.

"Hey, Chappy? Why did it sound like that devil recognized you?" Lani asked.

"I'm an ancient grimoire, after all! I know lots of people, and lots of people have gotten to know me over the years. More importantly, it's time for me to dig in!" Chappy opened himself. Tentacles shot out to grab hold of Lani and strip her naked, even in front of other knights.

"W-Wait! R-R-Right here?!" She shuddered.

"Not to worry." The living grimoire forced her down onto all fours and planted himself atop her back. "I'll have you disgrace yourself first, crawling naked back to the tower. Makes you all nice and wet for me." He slapped her ass with a tentacle, urging her forward like a steed. "The real fun begins once we get home, my bunny slut!"

"Thanks a lot, you two. Have fun, and good luck, Lani!" As much as Kanae would like to join them, something very important occupied her mind. She left everyone behind to visit the Basilica of Saint Rue where Edina was under the clergy's care. As soon as she burst through the door, the sister taking care of Edina jumped.

"I heard a loud explosion outside a few minutes ago! Are we under attack?" the spooked sister asked.

"No, uh… Just an accident. How's Edina looking?" Kanae kneeled down next to her best friend.

Already, color was returning to Edina's face. She breathed much easier.

"If you will believe it, Edina's condition started improving right before you came. I was administering mana via Restore Mana and actually hit capacity. Normally, that wouldn't be the case because something seemed to be continuously draining her. Whatever it was is gone now!"

"No kidding?" Kanae sucked in a quivering breath and teared up. "I'm so glad… Hurry and get better soon. You don't know how hard it's been, Edina…"
