Even routes of darkness lead to… (Maria Cambell Succubus/Oni Tf) Draft (Patreon)

It was the day before the graduation ceremony. Every single one of Maria Cambell’s friends passed all the exams with flying colors… well, except Katarina Claes, though even she managed to get through all of her classes. Which was kind of a wonder and a relief at the same time to Maria, as she knew that Katarina really wasn’t academically strong.

But that hardly mattered, since she had many qualities that more than made up what little shortcomings she had. Like her energetic attitude, sense of justice, adorable love for food and so many more. Yeah, Maria was very much happy to be her friend.

Though that being said, lately a few really dangerous figures moved throughout the capital, which had Maria a bit on edge. Recently, there was an incident where Katarina was kidnapped by someone who used dark magic, and then Keith was also kidnapped by someone else who used dark magic. For Maria, someone with the ability to use the rare light magic, this was just way too many dark magic users running around.

She sighed at the thought, gathering the rest of her books from the classroom while shaking her head. There was another student in the room, though she paid him little mind as she was just too deep in thoughts. Then she broke a smile. “At least now the danger is over. I can’t wait to meet up with Lady Katarina today! It sure will… huh?”

Though when she noticed that the ominous student approached from behind, it was already too late. First only dark mist wrapt itself around her head, then her sense of balance became all off, her vision began to blur until finally, she passed out, with the last thing she saw being that other student evilly smirking.

“Ugh…” Maria groaned, slowly regaining consciousness again. She was in some sort of old looking cellar, barrels standing in the back while the faint scent of wine lingered in the air. There was not really anything else of note in the room besides a dark cloaked man on the floor beneath her, scribbling something onto the ground that looked like a ritual magic circle.

Despite Maria having been out until just a moment ago, she was standing perfectly upright. In fact, she couldn't do anything but stand up, as her legs and even hips were covered with dark snake-like bindings. Her arms and head were free, although she really couldn't do much with just them.

“Perfect! My little lady has woken up!” The young man on the ground said, chuckling creepily to himself. “Only a few moments more and then I am finally finished with the ritual!”

“W-what do you intend to do?” Maria asked, hoping to at least get him to reveal his evil plans to her.

“Haaa… Soon… soon you will look at me. When I get rid of the greatest thorn in your side and remove the last traces of light magic from the academy, then you will be queen of the school just like you deserve to be queen of dark magic, my beloved Katarina Claes!” The guy mumbled, to which Maria could only blink.

So okay, asking him for his intent worked better than expected. Although Maria couldn’t help but bemoan the fact that Katarina managed to even seduce a random dark magic cult member with her incredible charm. To the point that he even thinks that she can use dark magic herself. Oh my.

“Hehehe…” He laughed again, standing up and taking a few steps backward. “Now if you just stand still and don’t break your dark chains with your light magic, the ritual will activate and you will become nothing more than a dark beast for me to control!”

This guy… really doesn't think before he speaks, does he? Well, Maria knew something was about to happen, as dark mist started to gather again around her, and she wasn’t going to let it claim her again without a fight. So she stretched out her hand towards the dark snakes around her lower body, her palm starting to glow as she invoked her magic. When suddenly…

Sziiiiiish!

“W-what…?!?”

“Ahahaha! You fool!”

All the snakes that had bound her before rushed straight towards her hand, where she was casting magic from, and then entered her body, one after another. She couldn’t stop casting her spell either, her spell just continued as more and more snakes and, with them, darkness entered her body, quickly starting to drown out the light she held within her.

“YES! All I needed was a single opening and now your little light will be extinguished forever! feel the Power of darkness coursing within you!” The hooded guy laughed, then pointed at her with an evil smirk on his face. “Hope you like it, cause I am going to pump you so full of dark magic that you are going to explode!”

As much as Maria didn’t want to admit it, she could feel it. Unknown feelings of pure dark power flow through her body, shaking her to her core. The snakes weren’t stopping intruding on her, so it just became more and more energy like never before. All sense of control she had over her body was gone, so even if the bindings weakened, she couldn’t take advantage of it. Yet, despite that, she attempted to stay calm, trying to figure out if there was any way to save the situation.

The skin all over her body hardened, she could feel it very clearly. It was like her body was already so full of energy from within that it started to show on the outside and in more ways than one. Her body as a whole also started to grow. Filled with more and more power, her small, diminutive size disappeared as everything about her form got bigger, making the room look like it shrank before her own eyes. After a while, her dress couldn't even manage to cover all of her legs anymore, although, given the situation, that was the least of her concerns.

“Yes! YES! It is working perfectly! Grow! Grow into my and Lady Claes' perfect servant!” The boy's words were almost drowned out by the sound of tearing clothes and straining muscles. Her previously loose dress was already skintight by now, the outlines of rips starting to show even through her top. It was clear these clothes weren’t going to hold on for long.

“Stop this… madness! Ack!” The stream of snakes intensifying cut Maria off while talking as she felt her entire body bulking into all directions. Her muscles were straining and contracting, growing bigger and bulkier with every time. Her arms were especially hit hard as the entry point of all the darkness, they each bulked up the fastest. From gaining a bit of thickness to a noticeable muscle mass, to reaching about twice the thickness they previously had with no way of hiding her biceps anymore, even when she tried to relax, her arms were truly filled with an inhuman level of power.

Her thighs didn’t fare much better, becoming more pronounced and thicker in a matter of seconds. Her leggings stained against her thighs and lower body, although they didn’t even last halfway through the entire process, ripping apart much to the delight of the man in front of Maria. Both of her shoes followed soon after, breaking apart as they were no longer able to handle her massive feet.

Much to her own surprise, after that Maria was able to breathe, feeling more relieved than in what felt like ages. A smile came to her face as more of the stress on her body was mostly slowing down, which is when she faced the dark boy once again. ”I told you to stop this madness! Is there a way to reverse this fiendish magic, master?!?”

There was a brief silence between them as Maria processed what she had just said. “Huh?”

“Ahahaha! I can’t believe this little thing worked out so perfectly well!” The boy declared, happily jumping around in circles, before smirking back at Maria. “You, my little ex-light user, are a dark beast now! And dark beasts HAVE TO obey the commands of anyone who mastered dark magic! Which is only me and of course, my lovely lady Claes! Ahahah!”

“N-No, this can’t be true.” Maria spoke, trying to think while those damn snakes were still intruding into her humongous body. Although, she had to gulp when she noticed it. This burning feeling deep inside of her. This burning need inside of her was growing by the second.

It seemed like nothing special at first. Just that she felt like doing what she usually loved doing. Cooking, cleaning, being useful in other ways. It was normal for her to do these things, Maria knew she did them every day.

But now, it felt more like an obsession that kept on growing within her. Like she NEEDED to cook the best meals, like she NEEDED to clean everything to perfection, like she NEEDED to always be there to do what is required of her.

But she didn’t feel that way towards everyone, only towards…

Maria gulped at the realization, frantically looking around if she could somehow save herself. For the first time, she willingly moved her bodybuilder like arms trying to get the snakes of the others. Yet it only resulted in her six-pack becoming even harder than it was before. It was clear to her that she didn’t have long anymore.

“HA! As if you could escape doing something pointless like that!” Maria’s mas… captor declared, rubbing his hands together. Dark ominous mist spreads from them again as another batch of snakes erupts from the ground, even though the previous ones weren't even fully done yet. “Feast upon what makes her human! Turn her into a demon! Turn her into an Oni! Turn her into a Succubus! It doesn’t matter as long as you rob her of every drop of humanity she has left!”

“Ah…!” With a weak gasp, Maria’s body once again felt like another fire had been ignited from the inside. From her palms upwards, her skin started to turn into a demonic shade of purple, while pressure started to intensify from all sorts of places. Pressure that she wasn’t able to handle after just a few seconds…

“Haaa!!! Ahhh!!!” With one hand and minimal effort, she tore off the remains of the lower half of her dress, leaving her minimally clothed in front of her mast… a stranger, though it was necessary. Because that's when her ass erupted away from her body upon its freedom, her hip circumference easily tripling from what it had been before the darkness took her.

Yet it was nothing compared to the ballooning of her bust. As both of her boobs swelled, pushing against the confines of her scraps of her dress. And then just as easily they snapped apart, no longer able to handle the strain coming from her glorious bust any longer. They swelled bigger and bigger, more than four times the size they were before, easily able to rival the size of her head, and still they did not stop at all.

Maria cupped one of her boobs, not entirely sure what she was doing. She knew it was heavy, she knew it should have been heavy but… her bust just wasn't heavy. Or rather, it was, but her strength made it feel like she was carrying next to nothing.

Then, a sharp pain coursed through Maria’s body the moment the purple color had completely taken over her skin. She could feel a single red glowing horn pushing out of her head off centered to the right, growing to a size comparable to her stretched out hand. On her back, two massive bat-like wings sprouted out from behind, growing and growing until her wingspan was twice her arms reach when she fully extended them, making her look like a truly menacing creature.

Though that's when it all stopped. The snakes ran out, the strain on Maria’s body disappeared in a snap, and she collapsed on the floor, the ground shaking from her massive impact. Panting, she took a look at what had become of her and it took her a few seconds to get to terms and believe what she was seeing.

Her skin was entirely purple, her body easily over 2,5 meter tall, her arms bulkier than any mans and her thighs thicker than tree trunks. Her waist was narrow, yet her abs were unhidable. And on top of that, her hips were door frame threateningly wide, her ass was the biggest cushion on the planet and her breasts made any hope of ever seeing her feet again null and void.

“Ahahah! Finally! With a monster like you on my side I will be able to stand up to that goodie two shoes prince and I have eliminated my Lady Katarina’s biggest threat in one move!” The guy who still hadn’t introduced himself chackled while Maria was sorting out her head with all the new information she had was overwhelmed with.

“The power of a succubus! The power of an oni! The power of a demon! They are all mine!” He continued, making Maria clutch her fist.

“And on top of that, I have a servant with unbelievably big breasts, that I can…”

“WOULD YOU SHUT UP!!!”

KABOOM!!!

Maria blinked a few times, her uptake still slowed down to a crawl thanks to everything that had happened to her. Yet one thing was for sure. Her fist was stretched out, the guy was no longer standing in front of her and now there was a hole in the wall.

Jep, she punched him through a wall. Maria didn’t even think that was possible, but then again, neither did she think it was possible to turn someone into a demon. So she was willing to take her action with a grain of salt.

“I need to get out of here.” She suddenly realized, looking around until she found the ladder leading upstairs. “I punched him on instinct, but I know my body wants to serve him with all my being! I can’t stay around him or else he will truly control me!”

And with that and a few more punches, Maria escaped from the cellar, roaming the city in hopes of finding out how she would continue with her life.

Evening had come faster than Maria expected and her needs were catching up to her. She wanted to serve a dark magician so badly. She tried to deny it, but every bit of her thoughts were filled by her fantasy of serving someone of the dark arts by now. Whether that person was good or evil began to matter less and less to her, she just wanted to cook for them, clean for them, fight for them, be useful…

“Ahhh! I can’t go on like this…” Maria moaned. It felt like a hiatus of an addiction she never had, her cravings growing stronger and stronger by the second as she felt like she would be losing herself any second now, yet still barely hanging on.

Which is when out of the shadows she finally could see into the academy gardens she so desperately wanted to reach. And in said garden stood a person, that one at first glance, made Maria’s knees weak, causing her to almost fall to her knees on instinct.

At that point Maria’s vision was dark and bloodshot, she could barely recognize anything, yet she knew what she needed to do when she saw that person in the garden. There was a small but powerful darkforce surrounding her, almost looking like a little pet compared to the greatness of that person. No wonder they already had a familiar with a mastery over dark magic this intense.

Before Maria had realized it, she was standing in front of that person, her hulking body dwarfing that person in size almost two times over, yet it took Maria everything she had not to fall on her knees before her greatness. That's when that person turned around to speak directly to Maria.

“Maria? Is that you? Holy moly, whatever workout routine you have, sign me up for it too. You were gone for like half a day and now you look like this? It must have really worked out for you.”

It was a familiar voice, a voice Maria knew very well. A voice Maria could recognise from anywhere, even in the darkest of dark times. And knowing who it was, made her decision to give in so much easier.

Without resistance Maria dropped to one knee, lowered her head and almost instinctively asked. “May I serve you as your loyal dark beast, bringing you to new heights of dark magic never before imaginable, Lady Katarina?”

“Huh? Yeah sure. Although it's getting dark, so we probably should head inside already. I am sure the others are worried sick about you.” Lady Katarina answered in the most Katarina way possible, bringing a smile to Maria’s demonic face for the first time ever.

Lady Katarina will always stay Lady Katarina, even if everyone around her changes. There was a certain warmth inside of Maria, then engulfed her entire being more and more. Yes, her body craved to serve a dark magic master, but that wasn’t the reason she felt like this right now. She felt like this, because she realized that even after becoming a monster in her own eyes, her heart still belonged to the same person.

So she lifted herself off the ground with a relieved smile, then slowly trudged behind her new master, ready to fulfill her every wish whatever it might be she desired.

Although, as they walked into the sunset together, Maria realized two things:

One: she was wearing a torn maid outfit that she apparently stole and ruined in her master seeking craze. She should probably give that back at one point.

And two: …did Lady Katarina even realize what she had agreed to a few minutes ago? Surely she must have…

…right?

I am sure that when I drown out all the light magic from the academy, then Bakarina… I mean Lady Claes is sure to notice me! That’s how it works, right?
