The Hero Became a Succubus, and the Only Way to Level is to… What?!

Amethyst Hall was ready to throw down on Kanae's word. They were just waiting for her to give the signal now. But she wanted to gather some information from this dragon. A creature of his age likely possessed a trove of knowledge. If there was an opportunity to make friendly with him, that was much more preferable over potentially becoming a dragon's dinner.

"You come seeking conversation, yet you're armed for battle. I don't take kindly to liars, little one." The dragon growled, and the entire cavern shook from its vibrations.

"Just say the word… and let me hit the damn thing," Petyr whispered.

"For real. An ancient dragon is rare as shit! When am I ever going to get a chance to raise one from the dead again?" Edina added.

"What are you whispering down there?" He lifted a brow, suspicions of their true intentions growing.

"Uhh… Can you give us just one minute?" Kanae ushered her companions away, just out of earshot from the dragon.

Seemingly uninterested in their squabble, the mighty beast afforded them a few seconds with a piercing stare before resting his head on the ground. Thankfully, he wasn't outright violent. The members of Kanae's hall, on the other hand…

"Whaddya doing? Are we killing a dragon or not? You're giving me mixed signals here," Edina complained after they hid behind a large rocky outcrop.

"I want to talk to the dragon first, and you guys are making it really hard to. Listen, we'll fight if it comes to that. For the time being, stay here. If things get dicey, I'll signal that we're killing him. How's that?" Kanae suggested.

Since not everyone was on board with tangoing with a dragon to begin with, they readily agreed. Everyone except Edina at least, who more or less behaved out of respect for their friendship.

When Kanae stepped out, Alicia followed.

"I'm going with you whether you like it or not," Alicia said.

"I can't get rid of you even if I tried." Kanae sighed, but glad for the company though she wouldn't admit it out loud.

Alicia flashed a knowing and amused smile.

When they returned to the dragon, he lifted his head again to address them. Sharp eyes flicked over to where the rest of Kanae's companions were lying in wait. He was suspicious, of course. She couldn't blame him. Something as long lived as him must be, just like Lord Charron and Queen-Mother Zariah.

"What are you scheming, succubus?" The dragon squinted down at the two of them.

"Nothing, honest! I told them to back off because they were getting antsy around you. I also don't want to make you nervous either. We all got off on the wrong wing, so how about we try again? My name is Kanae Toyomi, Queen of the Commonwealth of Sin and Aidenhall's Knight of Amethyst. This is Alicia, my—"

"Lover," Alicia said curtly.

Kanae snapped in Alicia's direction with a look of 'what are you saying?!'

"You may call me Maelstrom. I ask again: why have you intruded into my den?" Maelstrom asked, his voice taking a softer tone after their introduction.

"I heard from other adventurers in Lograin that you're a dragon open to conversation. Someone of your age probably has a lot of stories to tell. I'm interested!" Kanae exclaimed and hoped to disarm him with an air of friendliness.

"I'm intrigued. Perhaps there is a conversation to be had here. You called yourself 'queen'. Tell me, how would one go about conquering the continent?" he questioned with genuine curiosity.

Kanae and Alicia gaped at the dragon.

"Um… Conquering the continent?" Kanae repeated.

"I have woken up from a long slumber. My strength has increased by manyfolds from age. Now that I am powerful, I seek to conquer these lands for myself. I want to see lesser races bow beneath my talons. I want to lay siege to great walls. My fiery breath yearns to set fire to cities brimming with life!" Maelstrom bellowed.

What that adventurer said was starting to make sense now… This dragon was definitely unusual. He wanted to make conversation for the sole purpose of finding out how to conquer the continent! Not on Amethyst Hall's watch.

"Is there any way I can convince you not to do that?" Kanae asked.

"Why? It is in my nature. I am a dragon. I eat, I kill, and I raze cities. Imagine if I told you, a succubus, not to have sex. Would that not be silly?" Maelstrom returned the question.

"I mean… yes, but come on. We're better than our nature! We can resist our instincts," she insisted.

"You certainly didn't resist your instincts last night," Alicia said, squirming coquettishly like a starstruck teenage school girl.

Kanae snapped to her Vice-Captain angrily and red in the face. Alicia stifled a laugh, lips pursed and trying not to burst.

"Who's side are you on?!" Kanae groaned.

"Hmm. Your proposal does not fall on deaf ears. However, I am not so easily convinced. Show me your conviction!" Maelstrom slammed his tail on the ground, causing the entire cave to shudder again.

Stone and debris collapsed all around them. Alicia grabbed Kanae and threw them away just as a falling rock crashed where they had been standing.

"NOW?" Edina was poking her head out of the outcrop.

"OKAY FINE!" Kanae yelled back.

Flames escaped Maelstrom's clenched jaws. Kanae put herself on top of Alicia and cast Coat of Conflagration. Fire wreathed her entire body just as the dragon's breath torched them. When the fiery attack had ended, both of them came out unscathed.

"Oh, Knight-Commander. This isn't the place or time." Alicia feigned embarrassment.

"Drink your fire resistance potion already!" Kanae sighed and rolled off.

The others had already left cover to attack Maelstrom from all sides. Three undead dragons circled overhead, but they were succeeding little in bothering him. His gaze was focused on the most dangerous of them— Petyr. 

When the paladin reached Maelstrom's foreleg, he tried to crush her with his talon. She sidestepped him, then smashed her hammer into the glistening gold scales. The dragon roared furiously as pieces of his natural armor chipped off from the hit.

"Claudia, backup Petyr!" Kanae ordered.

Petyr didn't see the massive swipe coming from Maelstrom's other talon. Claudia landed in time and took the hit instead. Her heels grinded against the cavern floor before coming to a complete stop.

"It's going to take more than that to hurt me, dragon!" Claudia howled.

The wound Petyr had inflicted on Maelstrom was beginning to heal. Blood stopped pouring and instead congealed into a tough outer scab, quickly hardening into dull gold scales. Kanae shot Edina a look, and the necromancer returned a nod.

"Petyr, Edina and I will follow you up!" Kanae shouted.

Without needing any other instruction, Petyr ran down to Maelstrom's hind legs. Edina's swarm of undead and Hilde's mass of dire beasts easily distracted the dragon. Amethyst Hall went from a small cell to an army in a matter of seconds.

A smite to each knee, and the high elven paladin brought the dragon to the ground. Kanae and Edina cast Necrotizing Touch on the wounds, making the festering injuries unable to heal. Enraged, Maelstrom sweeped his tail across the cavern. That single strike destroyed scores of undead.

Kanae whistled for everyone to back away, then incanted one of her newly-obtained spells through.

"Hailstorm!" Kanae cracked her whip on the ground.

Giant shards of ice coalesced above the dragon and showered him in a sleet of bludgeoning hail.

"You're not the only one who can play with magic, succubus!" Maelstrom boomed.

Beyond the mist of frost, the dragon had picked up what appeared to be a giant magical staff. One end was tipped with a glowing crystal. He fired a spell into the sky which split into hundreds of smaller homing bolts.

Kanae was about to cast Reflective Ward on herself until she remembered that the others were vulnerable. Her subordinates— except Claudia, who welcomed the spellfire with open arms and a happy smile— took cover or protected themselves in their own way.

Instead of casting Reflective Ward, Kanae stored the spell into Doom & Gloom. Doom temporarily held the spell and activated from Gloom, allowing Reflective Ward to cast on everyone in an area and shielding them in a shiney bubble.

Dozens of magical bolts pounded into their Reflective Ward's shield. Each hit cracked the bubble like glass breaking. As soon as the barrage ended, everyone emerged unhurt.

"Awww, seriously! You couldn't have left me out of it?" Claudia pouted.

"Sister, we're trying to defeat a dragon. Not get you off!" Hilde shouted in retort.

"Arrrgh! What kind of succubus are you to possess a spellbook's worth of spells?" Maelstrom growled.

"I have more where that came from, but first— Alicia, now!" Kanae raised her left arm to give the signal.

The rogue succubus' invisibility wore off when she plunged a knife drenched with poison into the back of Maelstrom's neck. Infuriated, he thrashed around to fling her off. Alicia went flying, but Claudia managed to catch her before she smashed into the cavern wall.

Maelstrom was beginning to look woozy. Kanae lifted her right arm to give the next signal. Tess and Thume raced out from cover with a heavy rope. Kanae caught the rope and entered Magical Stealth. She flew up to his neck to lasso it around him. Beating wings kicked up gale winds and nearly blew her away, but Edina's trio of undead dragons latched onto his back to keep him still.

With the rope collared around the ancient dragon's neck, Titan and Glory, whom the other end were attached to, pulled hard in the other direction. Maelstrom collapsed completely to the ground. The weight of his fall almost knocked a few people over.

Now, it was Kanae's turn. She imbibed Aisha's Potion of Gigantism. Very quickly, she began to grow larger and larger. Her enchanted equipment did, too, in order to accommodate her size since they were attuned. However, just like in the aptitude test, the dragon was still much bigger than her. Maelstrom, even more so given his ancient status.

"What are you planning, succubus?" Maelstrom glared as Kanae loomed over him. "Dragons have resistance to poisons and toxins. Whatever that rogue stabbed me with won't last very long. Soon, my strength will return and— Hey, stop that!"

Kanae found where the dragon's genitals were. She had encountered enough to become intimately familiar. The soft underbelly scales couldn't be as tough as the rest. Just the simple act of rubbing around that area was starting to coax his draconic double-dick out.

"Okay, I'm out of here." Exasperated, Petyr threw her hands in the air and spun around to leave the cavern.

It didn't take a lot of stimulation to get Maelstrom erect. The dragon likely didn't see a lot of action during his years and was pent-up. Fortunately for both of them, Kanae was just big enough to give him a boobjob.

Below, the succubi were hooting and hollering. Titan, Glory, Tess, and Thume held the rope tightly. Edina's death knights and undead dragons pinned Maelstrom to the ground.

Kanae sandwiched both of the dragon's dicks between her breasts. His struggles quickly waned as she repeatedly pumped it. The fiery hot cocks were just a shy larger than her in height. She had to hug them with her arms in order to get a good hold. Tongue on the shaft, she squatted all the way down and back up to lick the length of it.

"This feeling… something is… something…!" Maelstrom groaned, and his entire body trembled with the force of an earthquake.

The throbbing dicks fired white hot cum like a geyser. So strong was the dragon's ejaculation that it hit the ceiling and rained jizz all over the place. Maelstrom, both body and cocks, went limp.

[Congratulations! You are now level 275!]

Kanae would have reacted to the incredible jump in levels, but she was once again drenched from head to toe in spunk.

"Did ya do it?" Tess hollered from afar, still holding the rope taut.

"Blegh… Yep." Kanae gave a thumbs up.

Without a doubt, Maelstrom was still very much alive. Thankfully, Boobjob Proficiency was too intense for even an ancient dragon to resist. But 15 level jump? Talk about big experience.

The second Kanae slid off the dragon, Thume came running up to her.

"Thume smash giant woman!" Thume exclaimed.

No sooner than Kanae touched ground did an ogre's cock plunge into her pussy. Despite dwarfing him, she seemed to fit him quite well. Now, their size difference looks like a goblin trying to screw a large draph woman.

"Okay, slow down! The dragon isn't dead yet, and we—" Kanae fell backwards when Maelstrom rose into an upright sitting position.

Thume was still fucking Kanae in spite of this. The rest of her hall tightened their grips on their weapons.

"I yield," Maelstrom announced. "I will abandon my ambition to conquer this world. Instead, a new goal has revealed itself to me."

"Oh, no… And what exactly is your new goal?" Kanae asked.

The dragon pointed a finger right at her. "I wish to impregnate you, succubus. That way, I will leave behind a legacy. To that end, I ask that you find a way to make me smaller or you larger so that we may mate."

Impregnated by a dragon again? Kanae considered it for less than a second and agreed.

"Hey, hey, hey! I was promised an ancient undead dragon. We're not going to kill him now?" Edina frowned.

"Damn it, Edina! We just resolved this peacefully!" Kanae groaned.

"Hm. When a dragon reaches ancient status, they do not live much longer. Our race reaches their pinnacle and stays for only a few more years, which was why my urge to conquer this world was so great. Tell you what, tiny one. When I inevitably pass, you may raise my corpse. Life as a dracolich may be an interesting one," Maelstrom said thoughtfully.

"Oh, shit? Ain't that nice of you! You got yourself a deal." Edina flew up to shake the dragon's talon.

Great. Kanae was hoping Edina wouldn't get to raise an ancient undead dragon. Well, at least they had a few more years until then.

"You hear that, Aisha? I'm going to need you to make a potion to shrink Maelstrom, and another Potion of Gigantism for me," Kanae shouted to the outcrop.

"Fine. But I'm not accompanying you next time to watch you get fucked." Aisha sighed.

The others practically had to wrench Thume away from Kanae. He only settled down after promising they could continue back at Lograin.

Kanae couldn't help but feel that Maelstrom went easy on them. After all, he never once decided to fly. That would have made the fight a lot harder. Maybe he wanted the company all along, after so many years hibernating and being alone.

As they were getting ready to leave, a heavy rumble from the dragon clearing his throat stopped them.

"Now that that's over with… How long is your Necrotizing Touch going to last? You busted my kneecaps and prevented my natural regeneration from healing. I'm in agony! This must be cruel and unusual even by lesser races standards!" Maelstrom complained.

"Uhh… Give it a day!" Edina exclaimed, then urged everyone to hurry out.

"Hey, get back here!" the dragon roared.

They returned to Lograin in the evening. Kanae and Alicia ordered Amethyst Hall to break. Their task here was complete, and the dragon was no longer a threat. The rest of their time in the City of Sin and Piety was free until they returned to Radevic.

For now, the two commanders of Amethyst Hall visited Mayor Mallory to report what happened.

"Let me get this straight," the lupine beastman began after a deep breath, "you defeated the dragon by giving him a boobjob? No wonder you're named the Streaking Dragonslayer."

"Well, when you put it like that, it doesn't sound like I did much. I promise you, we fought long and hard!" Kanae insisted.

"I'm sure it must have been really long and hard… At any rate, you did the city of Lograin a great service. We were worried the dragon might set his eyes on us soon, and those concerns weren't unfounded. I presume you truly intend to… bear an ancient dragon's spawn?" Mallory asked.

"Leave it to Knight-Commander Amethyst. She fornicates with the most exotic of creatures, and does so with the utmost enthusiasm." Alicia patted Kanae's back.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence," she murmured.
