The Alchemist of Krydon

Chapter Sixteen - The Price of Blood

"A vampire.. Succubus? Is that even possible..?"

"How rude, of course it's possible!~ So cruel... You're denying my existence, ehee but that makes me want you even more you know!~ Come on, bad mouth me more!~"

Her tail wraps around me even tighter in the most crucial areas.

"Say.~ You want it don't you? A kiss from a Vampire Succubus?"

"N-no..."

It was only a matter of time before I wouldn't be able to resist. A purple miasma was surrounding her and little by little it was beginning to engulf me as well. What would happen if it swallowed me whole?

"I-I can't because.. R-"

"R..? Well whoever that person is they're not here right now. So it's okay to accept me to fulfill your desires! I can tell you have many.~ Come on! Tell me what you want me to do!"

"Did you want me to do this? Or perhaps that? Oo, your body reacted to that one!"

"...."

"Hmm... Why is it that your reactions aren't as strong as the others?~ Ehee, even I have to admit you're one tough cookie to break! But don't worry, we have the whole night to ourselves! Eventually you'll give in!~"

Drawing closer, her cold lips press up against mine as I seem to have no will left. My body begins to weaken, Reiguma... I'm.. So sorry....

"Kiroo!~ Wilfred said you came back, how come you didn't wa-"

About to submit to the darkness that was wavering my mind, a certain energetic voice brought me back.

Standing beside the entrance was Reiguma.

"Umm... Kiro? What is it that you're..."

My throat tightens as if the Succubus didn't want me to answer as she turns to face her.

"Oh what is it that we have here?~ C-can it be, this is your partner? Awww, a Serabrae! And a cute one at that, but too bad.~ You've seen what's happened, he couldn't resist me.~"

"Shut up!!~"

Raising her voice, it may have even came out as a roar.

"You're... The Succubus that's been around here right? I've seen it on the paper Wilfred was reading."

"Eheee, so what if I am?~ I would be afraid of a Serabrae, but you only have a single tail so-"

Reiguma's gaze pierces through as my heart skipped a single beat. It glimmered and as they both stared into each other, I could feel the dark grip weakening.

"Kiro... Kiro wouldn't do such a thing, it's you that must have played with his mind!"

As Reiguma continued to speak, her words began to have weight to them. It wasn't just that but her eyes were more defined and sharp, It was as though she was a completely different Reiguma from the one I've been around.

"Oho, but it's just what we do.~"

Even in the midst of danger, and the over empowering Reiguma. The Succubus didn't seem to change in attitude, It could even mean that she really wasn't afraid of her.

"Let go of Kiro."

"Don't wannaa.~ After I'm done with you, we're going to have a lot of fun together. Oh but of course you can watch me take him away from you.~ Eheee, I can't wait! So let's get this over with!"

As the darkness leaves my body, I drop to the floor to catch my breath as I watch the two exchange blows with each other. The forge was getting totaled, however it was of least concern.
