The trek through Serpent's Tail was an arduous one. Monsters at every winding turn, rock slides that blocked off the path, and angry natives that harassed them. Fortunately, with Rasa to resolve most of their problems, the journey was relatively peaceful. Sometimes, pieces of bones from the gargantuan snake skeleton chipped off and nearly crushed them.

At the very least, traveling through the canyon pass meant they wouldn't run into the Harpy King's forces. Going by Sala'vir would certainly have been devastating. Luckily for them, following Grahib and Sofisa's defeat, the detachment of harpies and elementals seemed to be gone for good from the pass.

That granted them, especially Kanae, more time for other matters.

"Guh… nnnh… You've been cumming… for hours… I'm so full with your cum…" Kanae had her arms around Rasa's neck, seated on his dick as they rode through Serpent's Tail.

Ever since they departed from the Burrows yesterday, the two had been having non-stop sex on top of the large ronoa. When Rasa truly climaxed though, his race ejaculated over the course of hours. Kanae's belly was full of thick gelatinous cum. She trembled from another spurt, this one made the beastman's dick throb particularly hard.

"Oooh! That's it. I think I'm spent. Any more, and I'll pass out…" Rasa tapped out, giving her ass a light pat.

"Whew. My mana's been full since last night. Thanks." Kanae sighed in pleasure.

Rasa brushed the sweat from his face, looking a little more gaunt compared to the other day. Although Kanae was able to keep going, the same couldn't be said of the beastman. Strong masculine arms held her still, pressing her against his chest. He grabbed her head with one hand and forced a deep kiss on her. They made out like dogs licking each other wet, but really he probably wanted to mark her with his scent.

When Rasa finally let go, Kanae levitated off his dick to empty her womb. However, aside from a trickle of sweat down her inner thigh, not a single drop of cum came out. No matter how much she pushed, all that jizz wasn't releasing.

"Hey, what gives? I can't get any out. I'm going to look pregnant like this!" Kanae complained.

"Hm? Oh, that's just how my kind reproduces. After males cum, our balls produce a jelly-like substance that seals off the female's womb. Keeps all the batter inside to make sure you get pregnant for sure," Rasa explained, sounding all proud of himself for what he did to her.

"When does it… wear off?" she asked reluctantly.

"Wear off?" He tilted his head, unsure.

"Can you at least use your dick to scrape it off or something?"

They glanced down between Rasa's legs and were met with a limp member that wasn't getting up any time soon. Kanae groaned into her hand. She flew to her wagon to access a cargo compartment in the side of the vehicle. Unlocking the latch opened a hollow section that contained their belongings.

"Chester! Come here, boy!" Kanae called into the dark compartment.

The chest mimic clamoured over. Its seams snapped open, revealing large rows of teeth and a big tongue that licked Kanae's face dripping wet. After leaving him on Misiah's edirashem all that time while she was in Elusis, he had undoubtedly been very lonely. Mimics were solitary creatures, but this one was a little different.

"Okay, okay. Calm down. I need you to fetch me Cockcalibur. Can you do that for me?" Kanae pushed his tongue away. Google seaʀᴄh NoveIꜰire.net

Chester retracted his tongue, closed the lid, and bounced in place. He burped and spat out Cockcalibur, drenched in mimic saliva, into Kanae's hands. Well… at least it was lubricated.

"Thanks, boy~" Kanae patted her eager-to-please mimic pet. "When this is all over, I've got a nice place in my room at Amethyst Hall to put you in. Hehe… And every night, that tongue of yours and I will have plenty of play time…"

The mimic barked happily. Kanae closed the compartment and flew up to the spine of the serpent skeleton. Rasa and the carriages were already rolling ahead, but she could easily catch up.

Now, what would be the best way to excavate her womb? With Cockcalibur in hand, Kanae transformed it into the many different dicks she had taken over the years. Ogre? The enchanted dildo shifted into a large, meaty club. No, too big. Goblin? Too small. She compelled it to change into Titan's glorious equine rod and gulped hard.

Kanae fought off temptation and thought of another pig beastman dick. Specifically Sadul's. Cockcalibur transformed and became a similar corkscrew penis. She rubbed and licked until it was fully erect, then pushed the stringy thing into her pussy. Eventually, she pierced Rasa's jelly seal. Clumps of spunk gushed out and brought her incredible relief.

Hopefully, Sadul was doing alright. The last Kanae remembered of him, he had moved up in the East Saviran Trading Association. After the Harpy King's attack on Bravost, however, there was no telling if anyone was okay.

Sultana Dudula had finally turned over a new leaf, too…

The end of Serpent's tail wasn't much farther now, according to Rasa. Kanae reverted Cockcalibur to its usual form and plugged it into her pussy. She flew down to the carriage that Archbishop Patrice and the two Saint Priests were riding in. When she knocked on the door, Delayn answered it.

"Oh. It's you." Delayn glared.

"Is, uh… the archbishop doing alright? I was hoping to speak with her," Kanae said nervously.

"The last thing she needs is your sinful presence in—"

"I can speak for myself, Delayn. Let Amethyst in. Why don't you two take a step outside? I'm sure she would like to speak with me alone," Archbishop Patrice said from inside.

Delayn wanted to protest, but she decided against it when Camilla came out. The feline beastman flashed a smile.

"I'll take this chance to check on my little sister!" Camilla jumped off.

"Ugh." Delayn closed the door as Kanae entered.

The archbishop was lying down on the seat, mostly disrobed and dressed only in a light underdress. Her usual hair bun was undone, letting golden locks drape down around the shoulders. She held a book in one hand and was jotting down notes into a journal with the other.

"You have full use of your arm again?" Kanae asked.

"Since yesterday evening. But I gather that isn't what you're here to talk about." Patrice put down the book and quill.

"I still don't know how I feel about that fight. You should have told me you were out of mana. I'd share some with you," she said.

"And what then?" the archbishop questioned back. "Risk you losing against Grahib and Sofisa? Risk losing everyone inside the Burrows? I merely acted based on what would lead to the best possible outcome. And, if it warranted my end, I have no complaints. I do not fear death, but I do fear its inconsequentiality."

Kanae blinked in disbelief. The archbishop was smiling. Glowing, even. It finally occurred to her that Patrice was simply different. A historian, academic, and scholar in only the truest definitions of the words.

"I'm glad you're on our side. Oh, but don't think I've forgiven you for lying to me about a candidate for Deification in Savir," Kanae huffed.

"Did I lie? You told me you discovered Ambrosia is a contender, did you not? And, she was present in Savir at the time." Patrice smirked.

"I think I dodged a bullet not having you as one of my teachers…" She groaned.

They traveled for another day before reaching the tail end of Serpent's Tail. Its skeletal appendage laid half-buried in the ground. Kanae still couldn't believe how large this behemoth was. Given how vast Savir was and the size of some of its beasts, it shouldn't be too surprising.

The Arkesian Waste stretched ahead, a barren and red landscape with even less vegetation than Avanesse. Rasa tugged on the reins to his ronoa and stopped.

"This is as far as I go. My people need me, and the danger of retaliation by the Harpy King remains. You have my thanks for defeating the invaders. You may be outsiders, but you have made a friend in the chief of the Burrows. And succubus, please come by again!" Rasa waved as he returned to the canyon pass.

"Alrighty. Now I can summon my dragon, right?" Edina asked.

"You can." Petyr relented. "In fact, I insist. Doing so will give us a bird's eye view, searching for the Commonwealth army. The rest of us should stay on the surface just in—"

"Whooo!" The necromancer didn't hesitate to call forth her undead dragon and hop onto it. "Oh, and take this."

A significantly smaller skeletal snake compared to the one they left behind slithered up to Kanae's boot. She picked it up and was surprised by the meager size, around the length of her index finger.

"I'll let you guys know if I see anything!" Edina said through her undead critter.

With a powerful beat of its boney wings, the undead dragon took off into the sky. Everyone else was ready to continue their journey until the little snake piped up.

"Holy shit. There's a battle going on due north!" the squeaky voice exclaimed.

"Go, all of you! That's an order!" Archbishop Patrice shouted from her carriage.

Edina returned to the ground with her undead dragon, and everyone except the archbishop piled on. Kanae and the Knight of Red forgoed riding on the dragon, opting instead to fly as fast as their wings could carry them.

A harpy caught up to them. Seven. His wings were beating in overdrive trying to keep up.

"Seven, you really should stay with the archbishop. It isn't safe," Kanae warned.

"You said the Commonwealth army is there, right? That means Sis is in danger! I gotta help her, too! We kicked that wind Dervish's ass together, didn't we?" Seven reminded her.

"The kid's got a good head on his shoulders. Come on, Amethyst. Let him fight with us." Red grinned and winked, causing him to blush.

Kanae didn't fight it. They flew over the small ridge to witness a battle under way. A small army of harpies and elementals attacked a war camp that numbered in the hundreds of tents. They flew the banners of the Commonwealth, a succubus in flight; Highgreen, the crescent moon; Talahurah, the Kh'shanti tree; Hollow Glades, the new three-headed serpent that denoted the united lamia tribes; and even Rown Company, with its minotaur horns emblem.

The Commonwealth forces were struggling to fight back against their empowered foes, who rained down elemental magic upon them. Flames scorched swathes of soldiers. Hail bludgeoned them from above. Devastating lightning forked through squads in tight formation.

Leading the Commonwealth forces in the heat of battle was a tall drakeling in a familiar suit of silver armor. A smaller, much younger drakeling girl fought alongside her. She dashed through the battle on all fours, wielding a shortsword by the hilt with her jaws.

"Oh, no… You've got to be kidding!" Kanae cried as realization hit.

Feraline sowed chaos in the enemy ranks. The Harpy King's forces consisted of more than just harpies and elementals. Footsoldiers took swings at her, only to miss and find a savage young drakeling clawing back at them. She jumped onto a dark elven soldier, ripped his helmet off, and started bashing him over the head with it. When others tried to get close, her tail, which had grown larger and more dense in scales since Kanae had last seen, bashed them away. When she leaped off, a hulking soldier caught her.

But Esta was there to help. The drakeling mother bashed him from behind with her Magic-Consuming Dragon Shield. It caught him by surprise enough that he let Feraline go. Together, the pair sucked in a deep breath and let loose a combined blazing inferno that sent an incoming platoon in disarray.

"Damn!" Red whistled sharply. "Look at Silver go! And is that her kid? Talk about a duo!"

"Guys, I see Sis!" Seven pointed across the battlefield, where Arenade was leading an attack through the left flank of the Harpy King's soldiers.

Riding on rhinocerine beasts, they punched through the footsoldiers' ranks and broke formation. Of course, Arenade was donning a full suit of armor from Holy Armament, and she wielded a mighty lance at the fore.

However, her victory was short-lived. Giant stone golems emerged from the earth and stopped them in their tracks. The riders, Arenade included, fell from the mounts.

Kanae, Red, and Seven swooped in to help. The harpy warrior smashed into the chest of one stone golem and destroyed it outright. Kanae picked Arenade up and flew away just as another golem smashed its fist into where she was lying.

"K-Kanae?!" Arenade gasped.

"Where's my kiss?" Kanae grinned, but her elven wife wasn't having it.

"Did you know how worried I was?!" She pinched both cheeks hard with an unforgiving vise. "We thought you were captured! I came all this way to save you, too. It's hot. I'm sweating. My joints are stiff. My hair is a tangled mess. A group of beastmen almost made me their fuck toy, too!"

"I'm sorry, alright? I'll make it up to you later, but we're in the middle of something right now…"

When Edina landed with reinforcements, the tides of battle turned in the Commonwealth's favor. An undead army almost doubled their forces. Death knights wreaked havoc on elementals, whose magic were too weak to destroy.

Not to mention, as soon as Petyr, Delayn, and Camilla joined the fray, many Elusis officers knew it was over. Multiple horns bellowed across the battlefield to signal a full retreat.

"Did… Did we win?" Arenade asked.

"That's not even a fraction of the Harpy King's forces. We're going into this war at a disadvantage," Kanae explained.

"Sis!" Seven flew up to them after helping Red finish off a couple of stragglers.

"What the? Seven! What in the three hells is going on?!" the high elf shouted.

With the battle over, Commonwealth forces picked up the wounded, the dead, and put surviving Elusis soldiers in cages. Many raced up to Kanae and Edina, glad to see the founders of the Eminence of Sin alive and well.

Especially a certain someone—

"Maaaaa!"

Kanae spun around just in time to catch Feraline leaping into her arms. The drakeling girl was bigger and heavier. Instead of baby fat like all young children had, she was packed with muscle in that small frame of hers.

"Feraline! How's my sweet little girl doing?" Kanae nuzzled her head.

"Fought lots. Won lots. Growing stronger!" Feraline offered a toothy grin.

"And I have you to thank for bringing our kid here."She lifted her head and turned to Esta.

"I have arrived to serve in my capacity as the Knight of Silver and your loyal servant, Master!" Esta dropped to one knee and smiled.

"Oh, Esta, speaking of which…"

When Kanae directed Esta's attention to a figure approaching her from behind, her eyes went wide.

"Red!" Esta gasped.

"Yo, Silver! Long time no see would be an understatement, yeah?" Red propped her maul against her shoulder and laughed.
