A group of malformed arachnids had gathered defensively near a collapsed hallway, snarling as the cornered beasts they were. One was missing half its legs, and another dragged a shredded abdomen. Their eyes gleamed with manic hunger. Still, they lunged the moment they saw the intruders.
Such was the nature of mindless monsters.
Battle broke out instantly.
Jack was the first to take a hit, instantly making the man groan from exertion. These monsters were powerful.
Leon countered with a swing of his blade, cleaving through a skittering twin-headed spider that exploded into black mist.
Luna danced between legs and snapping jaws, though one beast managed to slam her into a wall with a luckily timed backward kick.
Aria unleashed a storm of crescent bolts, blasting another monster off the ceiling, only for it to retaliate midair with a glob of acid that scorched her shoulder. Or would’ve, had Nyx not erected a telekinetic barrier in the last second. Bastet’s radiant magic burned through their ranks, but even she had to shield herself from a sudden burst of bone spikes.
Kaiden was the anchor. Cycling through his stances, he tanked, carved, and healed, absorbing blows meant for the others. It was a fight of attrition, teeth and magic clashing in the dark. But after a brutal dozen minutes... the monsters lay dead.
And silence returned.
Everyone panted. Bruised. Bloodied. But victorious.
As after every skirmish, it was time to consume.
Kaiden stepped forward first, piercing a dying monster and letting the dark blood flow into his system. But as expected, it brought little relief. His stomach still ached. The Curse of Devouring Dominion still clawed at his insides. The way he extracted blood using [Ravenous Bite] was different from his girls’ slurping on his blood.
His process involved magic, turning monster blood into a magical property that granted him vitality and mana restoration, but he wasn’t filling his belly at the same time.
But when he turned to check on the others...
He paused.
Luna was leaning against a column, massaging her pained back while cursing under her breath, releasing truly unfiltered gamer girl curse phrases.
However, her eyes widened. She began stroking her belly with both hands, eyes closed in utter bliss. "Mmh~... I feel... full. Like... actually full." Finally, not feeling starved after every single encounter felt utterly liberating.
"What?" Nyx blinked, then blinked again. "Wait. Wait... Yeah! I’m not starving either."
Aria bounced in place as a giddy grin spread across her sweaty, blood-smeared face. "I feel fine! How is this possible?!"
Bastet squinted her eyes with a suspicious, feline hum. But even she couldn’t suppress the pleased smile that followed. "I feel deeply nourished..."
Kaiden didn’t know how to take this new development. "How can that be?"
He’d just chugged monster blood himself, and he still felt gnawed hollow from the inside out. He’d watched them fight, seen their flawless skin glisten with sweat, yet now, they looked less like starving soldiers and more like satisfied predators after a feast.
His mind turned, gears grinding fast.
There had to be a reason. A source. A...
Then it clicked.
Something materialized in the back of his mind. An instinct he didn’t quite understand.
His eyes slowly widened.
Oh.
Oh, hell.
He cleared his throat.
"Well then," Kaiden said, glancing at the stunned but satisfied faces of his beautiful Valkyries and tanned kitten. "I know this might sound... a little crazy, but..."
He reached up, brushing a streak of blood from Luna’s cheek. "How do you ladies feel about... taking a moment to get a little nasty?"
"..." Luna stared at him. Long and hard.
"Really, dude?"
...
Somewhere deeper.
Past twisted halls and ceilings.
Past mirrors that reflected things that didn’t quite exist.
A bloodstained chamber pulsed with a steady, starving rhythm.
