Ch 11: The dance of desire [pt1]

As soon as he was given permission, the young priest could not help himself. His lips touched the demoness’s carefully and he gasped as the demoness took charge.

The priest was about to make another bold move when he felt all his energy leave his body. The demoness was sucking him dry.

As soon as the priest realized this, he tried to pull back. But the demoness in his arms was greedy and she continued to suck his energy away. Before the priest knew it, he had been knocked out and he gasped out loud.

One second, the priest was struggling; the next, he was dead, and all his life force had been sucked dry by the demoness.

Christy smacked her lips together as she tasted the priest’s life force. It was not enough and it was quite dry. It was unlike the semen of the human she had before. But this was enough to give her a little energy.

“Tsk, what was with that desire before? How the hell was that human so powerful? I could feel he held no devotion for my goddess, but he still had enough to use her powers. This is not fair.”

Christy needed more energy if she wanted to face that man again. She needed to find more victims who would give her what she wanted.

“Hey, who are you and what are you doing here? And why are you naked?”

Another priest headed toward the hallway and looked flustered after noticing Christy. His eyes looked Christy up and down in desire and she could feel this human’s emotions.

‘Ah, I found another target so soon? These humans are deprived, right? They make them such an easy target.’

The priest in front of Christy continued to walk toward her until he was standing in front of her. He looked uncomfortable but also anxious to help Christy out.

“Hello, can you help me out? My body aches and I feel weird down there.”

Christy palmed her naked pussy and the priest gulped. He reached out toward her but Christy ended up devouring him even before he could touch her body.

Finally, after having her meal Christy felt her power return. She used it to recall her whip and it warped around her body like clothes. It only covered her nipped and her naked pussy.

It left nothing to one’s imagination if they looked at the succubus but she did not care.

‘Kill that human. Regain your rightful place at your master’s side.’

The voice that gave Christy this power whispered in her mind. Desire to follow its commands reared inside Christys’ eyes and she left out of the window. She needed to devour a little more desire from humans and then face the human once more.

…………………………

“Head priest, are you sure that this man is the one you saw in your vision? He is a little…unhinged. He was doing those weird things when our soldiers found him.”

One of the priests looked at Alex with an uncomfortable expression on his face. Every time his eyes met Alex’s; he could not help but recall what he had seen happen in front of his eyes.

But the high priest seemed undisturbed and sat down calmly. He even sipped on his tea as he regarded Alex with calm eyes.

“I am quite sure that this person is the one our goddess mentioned. He is here to spread the real faith of our goddess upon us. As for his actions…those must be the ones our goddess wants us to take.”

The priest looked uncertain once more, but he calmed down and stepped back once the high priest said his words.

Everyone inside the room, be it the priest, guard, or servants, looked at Alex with a fascinated look on their faces.

“I am so thankful for your help subduing that demoness for us. If there is anything we can do for you, then do let us know.”

The high priest asked Alex with a smiling face.

Alex could not help but be suspicious of this person and his intentions. He could not understand why this man chose to help him one minute and throw him into danger the very next second.

“No, it’s alright. It was my…mission…to defeat that demoness and bring her back. The …goddess…commanded me to do that. I should get back and bring that demoness back with me to the goddess.”

Alex stood up from the sofa and watched every guard around him tense up. They acted like Alex was a monster out to get them all.

“I see. So, the goddess wanted you to bring that demoness with you? I am so sorry that we prevented you from your task. We will release that demoness into your care right now.”

The high priest gestured toward a priest to go and get the demoness. The priest looked uncomfortable but he bowed to obey the high priest’s orders at first. But before he could open the door, it was slammed open by someone else as they forced their way inside.

“H-High priest, this is disastrous for us. T-The demoness, she escaped her prison. We don’t know what to do now.”

Everyone looked shocked after hearing the news but somehow, Alex was not shocked by this. A succubus was someone who snacked on others’ desires and manipulated them all.

If a human held any kind of desire weaker than her own, she would be able to overpower them with ease. And these priests looked incredibly weak-willed.

“Oh my! That demoness escaped? How did that happen? This is disastrous! I am so sorry, young man. This is all our mistake.”

The head priest apologized for letting the succubus getaway. His voice sounded sad and shocked but Alex could hear and feel no sincerity in his voice. He could only hear the amusement in it.

The high priest was very much like the slave owners Alex was used to seeing in his life. They pretended as if they felt sorry for you, while, they were all laughing at you sadly.

“Don’t worry, young man. That demoness is weak right now. We will capture her in no time and bring her back to you. Just give us some time…”

“No need to do that. I will capture that demoness on my own and then head back. There is no need for you all to bother with her.”

The priests around Alex looked annoyed and angry at him. They could not forgive him for his arrogance and the cruel words he spoke. They even raised their weapons against Alex to fight him.

But the head priest raised his hand and made everyone else drop their weapons. He showed that he was on Alex’s side.

“If that’s what the chosen one of the goddesses wants, then that is what we will do. But please, be careful when you deal with the demoness. She is a crafty one who can do anything to you.”

The priest warned Alex, but once again, he did not look sincere.

One thing was for sure - Alex did not like this head priest and he could not trust him. He wanted to catch the succubus and make his way out of this place.

There was a loud explosion in the front garden of the building. It made the whole place shake and Alex’s heart shook in excitement.

He wanted to feel that same dominance and power in his body erupting once more. It made him shake in his place and he was getting excited.

‘Now go and use my power to your heart’s desire. You want to make that succubus bow down to you, right? Then do as wish to. Let yourself run wild.’

The goddess whispered it into Alex’s ear and it stroked his inner desire. He wanted to fight and conquer which made the desire inside him run wild.

The guards looked uncomfortable as they felt the pressure of magic surrounding them but the high priest looked bored but amused.

He could tell that this kid had potential and he could also see why the goddess was taking her time and effort to make this kid into a warrior.

‘This kid still has a long way to go but he can become a monster as well as a secret weapon for our side. I will have to keep a good eye on him in the future.’

Alex exited the room and ran out toward the front garden. A lot of people seemed to have been gathered in the garden and they tried to run away.

But the succubus only held them hostage and dried them of their desire. Her eyes shined with power and her power increased. She was mixing up others’ desires with her own body as well.

“Ah, well, look what we have here. Do you think you will be able to win over me now? I have devoured so many people’s desires and gotten much more powerful. Now, take this.”

The succubus raised her whip and brought it down toward Alex. Her whip made a cracking sound as it broke through Alex’s shield and headed toward him.

Alex’s instincts helped him dodge that attack but the demoness continued her assault. It was almost like a deadly dance they both were performing. But Alex was slowly falling behind the longer they continued.
