The night was approaching as the sun faded, having spent the afternoon hunting, with Gwendolyn enjoying her time hunting orcs while showing off. Lephalia also became more confident as she could take at least three orcs alone without fear. Her little pets also helped by biting her enemies' necks and ankles.
"Master, look! my rabbits are so cute!" Lephalia chirped as the two large rabbits rubbed her legs to appease their new god: white and black, both females with sharp horns filled with blood.
'It seems they have levelled up thanks to their master; what a strange sight.'
He also noticed that their status seemed higher than normal rabbits, as she gave them her blood and changed their very existence into vampiric horned rabbits.
"Hehe~ Chu Chu, don't be so naughty! Miu Miu, do not bully Chu Chu because she's so small!"
The moment Lucifer heard those names, it felt like some dark secret of his past was gouged out, causing him to cringe greater than ever before.. as he looked at the adorable raccoon and shouted. "Those names are no good! I order you to change them; those accursed names haunt my sleep to this day!" He declared, shaking his head about the terrors of the names.
At his words, Lephalia's heart went cold as she stared at the two fluffy bunnies she'd put so much love and care into raising. "Miu Miu, Chu Chu? Do you not like these names?"
Sadly the two rabbits flopped on their backs and played dead. Caused little tears to drip from Lephalia's cheeks as she was upset, she soon recovered by naming the white rabbit, "Chiharu, stop bullying Ludis! And Ludis, you are a knight! Your horn and body are stronger, so you must become the knight that protects the weak Chiharu!"
Gwen merely watched as her husband stopped writing on the floor and seemed to accept these names, but somehow they irritated her. Somehow feeling these little balls of fur might one day become humanoid and try snatching her husband away with maid tactics...
Lucifer thought that since she had already named them, there would be nothing he could do against it... 'Well, I suppose it'll be fine.'
Seeing how he accepted the names, she hugged him tightly and placed her boobs on his head, something that caused her to blush a deep red while she grinned widely, using his body heat to keep herself warm from the growing cold outside.
His eyes glazed with odd pleasure when Lephali'a soft mounds wrapped around his face; the two rabbits sat with their beady red eyes, watching him with almost sentient and intelligent looks.
'These things, they can understand us; I can feel it!'
***
Gwendolyn eventually got mad for him enjoying the body of Lephalia and starting to squeeze her soft ass, almost making her go into heat early; now he was leading the way as Lephalia was riding on the back of Ludis, the black rabbit humming a cute song.
"Ludis~ don't walk too fast! Chiharu is scared of walking on her own!" Lephalia sang, a radiant smile blossoming across her innocent-looking face.
Finally, they arrived at their initial goal; with the night drawing in, Lucifer felt anxious but needed to ensure this wasn't the event he thought it was because if it was...
Then somehow, it started more than 4 months sooner than he expected, and thus, he needed to understand why it happened sooner.
Lephalia quickly gathered up the small sticks and branches; the black and white rabbits began using their horns and magic to start a fire before jumping into Lephalia's lap to enjoy the warmth.
After eating a boar they caught earlier, Gwen and Lephalia were sitting together, the two rabbits acting like pillows for them as they watched Lucifer digging near a strange part of the forest, where the soil was bubbling, rotten and filled with poisonous herbs and flowers.
Soon he used a stick to gather them up, bringing back several flowers as Lephalia observed her Master pick the petals from the flowers and then put the stem in the water, the bubbling noise intensifying as the petals slowly turned greyish red.
'This reaction... it's as I feared... The Lord the orcs spoke of...'
Lucifer's hands tightly clenched, and he felt a strange sense of anger trying to rid him of the fear in his heart, ''We need to leave, and for the next week, we are training daily in the forest to get as strong as possible!" He ordered while the two girls and rabbits tilted their heads.
"Why honey?" Gwen asked while Lephalia nodded in agreement.
He sighed, "Because within the next month, the entire Rinvale will be decimated by a vile curse and blight that will take the lives of thousands, and we cannot stay here or leave; it's already too late. People can only enter Rinvale... A barrier is erected that even my full crimson burst could barely damage.
"Eh!? Who could create such a thing, and why can't I sense the magic pulsating in the area?" Gwen wanted to believe her husband, but she didn't have in-depth knowledge of this world like him. So she doubted his words for the first time.
Lucifer's eyes looked sad, but he smiled nonetheless, "The Diva of Blight, Nortamra."I think you should take a look at
"She is the 70th Lord known for her powerful diseases and blight... The barrier is made with her intense poison and diseases that would instantly turn anyone who tried to force their way through into nothing but bones, melted and devoured by her cruel plagues."
Gwen looked up to see his face and his odd look of sadness. "You knew about this and didn't say anything? Does that mean there was nothing we could've done?" She asked, thinking maybe there was still something he might know, but he was hiding it from them for some reason.
Her eyes widened as she saw him look apologetic, bowing with a slightly melancholy look. "I thought she would move soon, but not this fast. That woman has two pleasures in the game, first is to torture the hero and second...."
"Second?"
"To stalk and find the 72nd Lord, to use her poisons and plagues to make him submit and become her bride."
"hmmmm, aren't the brides female?"
"She's stupid and very strange...."
While explaining his current powers, they huddled near the warm flames while sleeping under the night sky. The moon shimmered across the eerie forest as it watched the group with an invisible smile.
'So how the fuck do we get out?' Lucifer didn't feel his power was enough to tackle a true Lord yet. He might even struggle with the hero if he used Divine Advent and Celestia's power to corner him.
'Is it for me, or the hero... I wish there were a clue..."
The moment Lucifer slept, Lephalia crawled close and kissed his cheek. "I want Master to live! If you are in danger, Lephalia will save you..." her warm body was then curled around his, enjoying his strong arms wrapped around her body, while Gwen was on his other side, her soft bosom squished against his back as they slept naked, a tent covering them with two mighty rabbits for guards.
Some might doubt them until seeing the half-devoured wolf corpses below their feet, numbered more than 20.
What made them terrifying wasn't only how strong they were but also how they looked so weak and gentle but could easily murder and devour other creatures thanks to their new vampiric bloodlines; Chiharu loved to suck them dry, while Ludis enjoyed slowly draining them, watching them suffer.
They were forced to camp overnight because Lucifer had to check in more detail; although they managed to get a lot of loot, it also meant that the time to leave before dark faded and now the dark creatures hidden in the forest's depths might very well attack them.
But the small animals and monsters wouldn't dare go against the vampire girl's smell and Lucifer's aura. Thus, they set up a small bonfire with the few supplies they carried in their storage rings.
"Mmmm~ don't play with my butt." Lephalia moaned as she felt Lucifer's large hands slip inside her shorts, teasing her soft, squishy cheeks.
Her mouth nibbled on his neck as she left little love bites. Her fingers gripped him tightly as she was worried about the growing sensation in her chest like she would= float into the air and drift away.
Ludis and Chiharu were busy chewing on the spare bits of meat and herbs for a snack before hunting together for more food. They enjoyed running freely together after being restrained in her hand for so long.
The forest at night was cold, filled with strange creatures like wolves or perhaps something more dangerous that came for prey; they'd rather remain awake, their strong ears hearing any movement for over a hundred meters.
With the two pets and Gwen awake to guard, Lucifer and Lephalia continued making sweet noises together, and although Lucifer didn't understand what about her allured him so much, he made sure not to go too far and penetrate her.
As now wasn't the time, her soft moans and trembling body as her wet sounds echoed from his fingers gently rubbing along her smooth, slippery mound, enjoying her reactions as his fingers teased her entrance, causing her ass to tighten and lips to suck on his neck.
'Ah, that feels amazing!'
In this world of endless wonder, nothing could compare to the euphoria of lust and blood; the taste of their hot bodies pressed together with the sounds and heat coming off them was so inviting as he slowly slipped the tip of his finger into her snatch, enjoying her tight, slippery insides clamping and releasing his fingers with a slight pop sound.
"Nnn... that's strange... Mmmn~ more." Lephalia murmured, but Lucifer ignored her and stopped for today, his arms hugging her tightly as she enjoyed a light climax and snuggled into his arms.
He didn't want to rush things, as Gwen's hands began to slide over his body, taking his member... Lucifer knew his wife wanted to enjoy more, so he turned over as the sexy vampire mounted his hips and began to ride him like a racehorse, their shadows visible on the tent as the crackling fire continued through the night.
