CH15: Consequences

My body hadn't felt like it would burn away since I gained leviathan power. It was the secret ingredient that kept the dragon power inside from burning me alive. While it was weaker than my dragon power, it was catching up. I kept the power skills on and used them as passives. Regeneration would keep me going, and it felt like I was becoming an all-rounder build. That had been the plan, and I had prepared to get there by being choosy about my waifus. Regeneration and killing monsters were the bottleneck for getting where I wanted to go. Qi was the exp needed to continuously use my skills without my body suffering. The price had increased twice, and I expected it to go up again in the future.

As we trudged through the woods with Sandy constantly flashing Matt and me bragging about how rich he was about to become, my body ached to complete the balance. It wasn't a physical thing but more weight on my soul. My line was fine; it had strengthened more than ever by continuous taming. Waifus were insatiable, especially Helen.

When waifus were in heat, they were even more dangerous to inexperienced tamers. Add in her white status, and she was even more dangerous. So my inexperience and youth both played against me when dealing with her sweet swollen cunny. Well, the reason was simple, temptation.

I might have held back a little if not for Sandy constantly teasing me with her pink thong. Lately, I've felt horny the whole time, and I knew it was a skill. Matt had a smug smile every night and even looked surprised when I was unchanged the next day. It was a dick move made worse by not giving me a warning.

That didn't break off the partnership. Why would it?

We were tamers of the same generation. There were limited resources in the world, and the less competition, the better. That's the mentality of most tamers, and I expected nothing less from Matt.

After 10 days of constant teasing, I had enough. I stopped, and the rest of the party stopped with me. Even Sandy stopped wiggling her ass at me.

"If you want to continue our partnership, this can't continue," I said.

"What's wrong? You have three beautiful waifus temptations. That can't be a problem for you."

"What about you? She's a beautiful white Canidfu; you can't feel comfortable letting her flash me every day. If she's horny, then take care of business in the morning. Using a skill on a companion breaks custom." I said.

"She isn't using a skill on you. You've been pounding your waifus every night to the point I'm losing sleep. I don't know what's going on with you, but it isn't Sandy, she likes to tease, but there isn't a skill involved." Matt said.

Alice hugged me from behind. I felt myself get aroused, and I didn't think I could stop myself from bending Alice over and pounding her. There had to be something wrong with me.

"This shouldn't have happened for a few more months," Alice said.

"What's going on? Do you know something?" I asked.

Even Matt looked curious. Alice clawed at the ground and looked pensive. My eyes traveled lower to her hips and the long tail whipping back and forth. I couldn't help but see images in my mind's eye of me bending her over and smashing into her with my meat stick. A need bubbled in my gut, and it felt like my veins were on fire. I made sure my line was safe and took a step forward, only for her to hold her hands out.

Alice twisted a lock of her hair. "Tamers go through a process similar to a monster's rutting season, only it never ends. It's not a bad thing after a few weeks you won't miss how you were before. Once we add a centaurifu, that will be four lovers to keep the edge off. You'll love some variation. I know it, partner. There are so many beautiful waifus to explore in the world." Alice said.

I grabbed my head walked over to a tree, and sat down. A unique monster touched the edge of my senses, but it didn't matter. My mind had been swept up into a new understanding. Sandy wasn't trying to tease me or turn me on; that was all me. The sights I saw shouldn't have been enough to turn me on to the degree they had. My blood still hadn't cooled off. I wanted to slide into one of my waifus or maybe subdue a new one.

Matt walked up next to me and sat down. "They say a teenager our age has twice the sex drive of a man and tamers after a year has a sex drive ten times that. So don't worry about the centaurifu; they could just as easily be heading this way or in any direction. We can't know where they are exactly."

I pulled my rifle out as the monster stepped fully into my senses. Matt pulled out his binoculars while I looked down my scope. Sure, enough, there was a massive centaur with a bear-type monster tossed over his back. It was a high rank two armed to the teeth with edged weapons like an ax with a bone handle. He also had a long bow unstrung in a sheath on his back. In addition, the monster displayed a lance strapped to his flank decorated in the hair of tamers. It was the type to collect trophies and wouldn't hesitate to collect from us if we weren't careful. The first chance I got, he was going to die.

Other equine-type monsters and a few centaurifu traveled with the herd. This was our chance; if we played our cards right, we would be balls deep in centaurifu cunny by the end of the day.

"That centaur looks tough," Matt said.

I patted the stock of my rifle. "Two rounds from this baby, and he'd die like any other rank 2, but the others would scatter. Let's climb up one of the tall trees and wait for them to pass. Once they're gone, Sandy can lead us to their camp. It will be easier to sneak into their camp at night." I said.

"Some of them have shoddy equipment. I see a big boss mare wearing a patchy fur vest, and many of her arrows are bent. Do you think they'll trade credits for one of their maidens?" Matt asked.

I thought about it. There was a village run by monsters and simps who took credits a few miles from the south gate. If we were smart about it, we could try to set up trade through them. That was one of the few places tamers and monsters considered a combat-free zone. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to do that and get the waifus I needed.

"If they see us, we aren't making any deals. They'll run, and we might never find them, or they'll track us down in the dead of night and fill us full of arrows." I said.

Matt looked up at the largest tree near us with a troubled expression. It was a redwood, and the branches weren't even out of reach for me. Of course, I needed a jump to reach them, but not all tamers were created equal. Fortunately, I had cordage.

After returning Alice to my seal, I grabbed the lowest branch of a massive redwood tree. I was only a couple dozen feet up, but Matt looked up with hesitation. I pulled out a thick rope from my backpack that was perfect for this occasion. Cordage was always useful, and it was cheap, so why wouldn't I buy it?

I tossed an end down and quickly pulled Matt and Sandy up. Then we climbed higher to ensure we were well out of sight. Not that they were likely to look up pegasifu or Pegasus monsters were rank 3, and I would have sensed one. However, the herd was about 200 yards away when we spotted them and had the high ground.

Even up high, we heard hooves pounding well before the herd's first scouts arrived. One looked around for a moment sniffing the air with his big horse nostrils slapped on a too-human face. The scout that remained behind was a centaur but one of the less human variants. They looked more human-like at the second rank.

He walked over to the tree and took a shit on it before stepping his front hooves forward to take a piss. If we were going to kill him, there would have been no better time. At that point, I wasn't sure if they had spotted us or not.

Killing the centaur stallion leading the herd was a given; he had collected tamer scalps and paraded them on his lance. His death was a given. I was also curious if he had a daughter. While I didn't necessarily want to make it a habit or my calling card. Something felt good to me on a primal level about taking my enemy's daughter as a waifu. I hoped the overactive sex drive was doing that to me and not a growing fetish.

After a while, the second scout returned and seemed to relax seeing the first scout whole and alive. He didn't make a move to look up at our position in the trees.

Matt raised an eyebrow, and I shrugged. We hadn't made camp there, but I was leaning towards something gave us away. Neither of us moved or made a sound. None of us pissed or defecated near the area, and there were no tracks, thanks to the fallen needles. We saw them long before they saw us, so why were they suspicious? Maybe they had an outrider I couldn't sense or someone with binoculars. Finally, six warrior centaurs arrived and relieved themselves on the spot before grazing on a nearby bodock tree.

They bit into the horse apples and sucked out the sticky white glue inside. A few cut some branches and feasted on the leaves before storing them for later. They likely planned to make bows from the exceptionally hard and strong wood. Then, other horse monsters appeared, including one that stood on two massive hooves and towered nearly 12ft tall. It had hands and wore human clothes. The rank two-horse monster had a horse head that formed a mockingly human smile. Its eyes faced forward instead of apart, and it moved fluidly. The monster wasted no time doing his business and soaking the pine needles. His ears kept moving towards the redwood, revealing the truth.

Somehow the herd knew we were in the tree. But it didn't matter. We were going to invade their camp, and no amount of vigil would make a difference. It was a full moon that night, and I could already feel my blood pumping.

20 minutes later, the scouts moved out while 12 centaurs and the leader moved into the clearing. He didn't bother looking at the tree and pissed in a random unclaimed spot. He ate quickly, stuffing a few Bodock balls in his mouth before ripping off a hunk of the bear from his kill and eating it raw.

A centaurifu galloped into the clearing, and the leader's shoulders straightened. My attention naturally moved to the beauty that entered the woods. She was, without a doubt, an enchanting creature with blonde flowing hair, a tightly contained bust that giggled when she galloped, and an arrogant look in her eyes when she glanced my way. How long would it last when I started plowing her?

She turned her rump towards me, lifted her tail, and pissed on the ground. I grabbed the trunk of the tree and nearly went after her then. Matt's arm was around my neck as I realized I had stood up in preparation to jump down. The centaur smirked before flagging her tail to the side. I watched her swollen black lips and counted every wrinkle. Slowly, I eased my legs back down as the blonde hair of her tail formed a curtain closing the view before she winked, showing off a purple thumb-sized clit. My mind wasn't my own. Without Matt, I would have jumped down and gotten myself killed.

Rank 2 monsters could die from well-placed rounds from high-caliber firearms. They could rip me apart if I'm not thinking and charge in.

She looked back and had the nerve to look disappointed. Tonight, I would subdue and plow her. With that goal set, I planned how to accomplish it, taking care to memorize all the rank 2s and noting their nonequine type maidens. There were a few goblifus, tsufus, a sleepy-looking hoofu, and a rare white amorifu.

I made a mental note to attempt to subdue the amorifu if possible. They were the knight mecha waifu, and their skills were mostly weapon based. She could probably give me an ax, sword, spear, or even armor skill. But she wasn't what I was looking for. In the abandoned factory area, an Ultra rare waifu gave gun skills. It was the only way to make a gun build viable. So while mecha power would be great, I could wait. Besides, I had a waifu to subdue and enjoy.

One of their warrior centaurs doubled back to wait for us while the others continued their journey. I tapped Matt on the shoulder and waved at him to follow me. After sensing where the centaur was, it was simple to use the long redwood branches to reach another tree. Once we were down a reasonable distance away, we made our way towards the path of the centaurs. It didn't take long before we found equine droppings and tracks. Fortunately, the centaur sent to watch us hadn't left his post and probably wouldn't until the herd had time to make a few double-backs to confuse the trail.

"Are you sure he didn't see us leave?" Matt asked.

"I'm sure he thinks we are still there. If we had jumped down and fought the centaur, they would be able to smell us. They didn't pee all around the tree just for fun. If we stepped in their urine and approached their camp, they would be able to smell us. We didn't, and they won't smell us coming." Sandy said.

I let Alice out, and she grinned at the sight of the tracks. "This is going to be so much fun, partner," Alice said.
