Forest Invasion Part 2: Sylvia

Written in collaboration with Cross C

“Oh shit! What?!”

Sylvia was furious. Stomping angrily towards Kazuma before grabbing him by the neck in one hand and lifting him high above her head.

“You hunted me down?! Can’t you give me one moment of happiness?! Killing me wasn’t enough, you had to ruin what good I’m doing here too?!”

It was fierce rage, a dark skinned hand wrapping around and squeezing Kazuma’s windpipe. Tentacles emanating from her arm as if ready to strangle what air was left.

“D-didn’t COUGH kn-now you were a-alive! HcK Let al-ck-lone h-here!” Kazuma choked, struggling to find any breath to defend himself.

Cloud tried to help, slamming his blonde hair into her red dress, but the woman just batted him away. Running a hand through her black and red hair before talking a little more composed to Kazuma.

“You expect me to believe that? After what you did to me at the Crimson Demon village?” Sylvia hissed. Tightening her hold on his neck ever so slightly and making his eyes bug out while his face went blue.

We were about to run in and save him, but someone else beat us to it.

“Chief Sylvia! You promised no killing!” Shouted the red-headed Lamia in distress.

The other chiming in with a nod, “We’ll never join their society if there are skeletons in our closet!”

Sylvia clicked her tongue, rage still apparent on her face but loosening her grip slightly, “This one’s different. Give him a chance and he’ll destroy our whole village… after ripping your heart in two.” She seemed extra upset during that final line.

“We still need to find the one for you though.” said an older looking wise kobold woman who had joined the commotion. “And perhaps the lad was telling the truth.”

With a deep growl, the tall woman threw Kazuma to the ground hard. The beautiful boy landing with a thud next to Cloud while he gasped for air.

Sylvia was looking elsewhere though. Lots of elsewheres. Her eyes looking all around until she… “Oh fuck.”

“BIND!” She roared, her hand snapping upwards towards us before two tentacles of hers left her body and shot towards us. We were too surprised that she’d found us to do anything but be entangled by her thief spell. With lots of complaints from Aqua (and a few moans from me) we were dragged into the forest light and the many eyes of the inhabitants of the village. Sylvia presented us to the crowd, “If he was telling the truth then why are his companions skulking in the bushes?!”

“Y-you kidnapped our friends!” I defended, my body upside down and panting in Sylvia’s tentacle grip. “And now you plan to keep us tied up as slaves don’t you?! Well I’ll take it all if you let everyone else go!”

“Darkness!” Kazuma growled in anger, “Not helping!”

Sylvia ignored me, instead looking around the environment again. “Where’s the last one? If I even get a smell of explosion magic I swear I’ll execute every single one of you.”

Perhaps we could use our lack of Megumin to our advantage here. Use the threat of her destructive capabilities to make a clean getaway…

“She’s not here! She’s back home in her village!” Aqua declared, ruining my half plan instantly, “The one that YOU tried to destroy might I add! Damn Demon King General scum!!”

The tentacles surrounding me and Aqua suddenly tightened hard. Spreading further over our bodies… including our mouths. Meaning I couldn’t use the earrings anymore. Aqua’s captor snarled in her face. “So I let my guard down and you shoot me again?! You expect me to believe that you blue haired b-?!”

“Sylvia.” Kazuma’s serious voice suddenly cut through. He’d already gotten to his feet and was staring down the huge woman. “We were sent by the guild to investigate what’s been going on around here. They know exactly where to find us, so even though Megumin ISN’T here right now, there’ll be far more adventurers than just her if you kill us.”

Sylvia kept her eyes trained on him. Sizing him up. Mine and Aqua’s bodies writhing from the tight confines they were trapped in.

Thunk! Thunk!

Our breath returned quickly as we landed on the floor. Kazuma bending down to check on us, even with all of our bindings still in place.

“You talk a good game as usual, Kazuma. But pray tell, what’s to stop you from leaving this place and bringing said adventurers back with you next time?”

“Your two sexy Lamias said they needed me to save this place.” Kazuma retorted, a blush on the redheaded snake forming, “Maybe we won’t need to do any of that if you tell us what you need. If sexy babes are in danger I don’t care what the problem is, I’ll be there to help!”

Gratitude seemed to emanate from the crown even with Kazuma’s slightly less than noble intentions. Though, unfortunately, Sylvia was still unconvinced.

“Sylvia-san, normally you’d at least be willing to answer our questions, right?”

“Yes, obviously.” She snapped back, folding her arms under her massively delicious rack in frustration. “What answers do you seek?”

Aqua sat up, “Ooh! I got one! How are you even alive?”

“Pft. You think that punk Vanir is the only one with measures to avoid ****?” She scoffed, “I am a Chimera, you plebeian. After Kazuma broke my heart and shot me through the stomach, my body was indeed in ruins. But my loyal kobold subjects dragged me to safety.” She gestured to the ones who had been in the tents, cheering at their place in the story and waving a ‘Sylvia’ brand banner. “With my powers, we had just enough backup genetic material for me to absorb to become whole again.”

Kazuma looked slowly disturbed as he spoke in a gradual and slightly horrified way, "When... you... say... backup... genetic... material..."

“It was a bevy of any parts my minions could spare.” She replied, staring at a dancing tentacle that had formed in her hand. “All of it was useful. From loose teeth to drops of blood. Though the true source was…”

A kobold cheered out, “Most of us just jizzed on her!”

Sylvia's dark face twisted into a brilliant teeth-gleaming smile before she threw her head back in perfect villainous laughter, those immense dark titties jiggling maniacally, "YES!! My unswervingly true minions provided me, their lovely sovereign, every last bit of backed up virile male reproductive genes I required to survive, to revive, to-, yes, -reconstitute myself! I am the Chimera Queen! Yes! Ahahaha!”

My relentlessly perverted and utterly sinful imagination filled my brain with the image of a disgusting host of orcs, goblins, and kobolds furiously masturbating onto Sylvia's corpse and somehow managing to resurrect her very being with ropey blasts of monstrous seed, thick chunk-laden threads, engorged with proteins and thick nasty goblinoid reproductive nutrients, and... well.. you get the picture.

No thank you. No. Thank you, Sylvia.

"Well, that certainly explains some things." Kazuma sighed with a pained expression upon his face, “So what’s your plan? Is the Demon King going after the Crimson Demon’s again?”

“My contract with the Demon King is over.” Sylvia replied bluntly, frowning at our shocked gasps. “It’s hardly a surprise. My utter failure to capture that accursed village was only compounded by how close I got. I assume the Demon King has no use for me anymore.”

“You assume?” I asked.

“There’s a strict policy of only hiring one’s current life. If any of us die, even if we are resurrected, our contracts become null in void and we need to redo the deal. Something about having to prove ourselves again if we failed in battle.” She sighed while fiddling with her hair. “But it’s no matter. My allegiances never truly aligned with that maniacal menace anyway. He offered me power and, at the time, that’s what I wanted.

“As for why I am here, after you killed me and I was cast from the Demon King’s army, I felt anger. I desired **** over all else. But the Crimson Demons were too strong for me, and even hunting you all down felt like it could end in disaster. Especially with that blasted Wiz and Vanir watching over you. I knew I needed to develop my own skills before taking you on. Which is why I reclused to these woods to train myself.”

We all turned to Cloud, indicating it was his turn to ask a question. “Oh! Uh, what’s with the village of monsters then?”

“You mean political outcasts?” Sylvia growled, “I happened upon this small village when I was searching for new genetic code to copy. Many species of monster, driven to near extinction by you selfish adventurers, with your carnal blood lusts and explosion fetishes. When I found them they were barely scraping by. All the males of their packs were long dead, leaving this handful of women alone. My ‘goal’ here is to protect these poor lost souls and hopefully… help them find their place in the world.”

I tilted my head, “A place?”

“There’s a way for us to join humans in society!” Chirped the redheaded Lamia. “We heard that there’s a bunch of Succubae running around Axel now! All because they’re living peacefully under a Harem Knight!”

“We wish for something similar to happen for us. A chance for us to not be simple quests on a guild board, but full fledged members of a town.” The purple haired one joined in.

“With a chance to get some good beer again!” The zombie girl cheered out, earning a symphony of agreements from the crowd.

“And find ourselves boyfriends!” The slime girl joined in next, again earning a wave of cheers.

“And visit the Succubus Cafe!” Shouted a kobold, joined by the rest of the kobolds.

“Waitwaitwaitwait.” Kazuma interrupted their fervent discussion, “Can we take a minute here to process the fact that this crazy situation is basically monster-girl spank-bank material? We’ve had some weird situations before, hell I still have scars from all the times Aqua had me beat up something I didn’t really understand, but nothing like this!”

There was another wash of noise over the crowd, but this time it was hushed whispers. The faun that was still in the low hanging tree with the harpy shuffled forward slightly, “‘Spank-bank’? Sir… d-do you find us attractive?”

“Yes.” He replied instantly, earning some more hushed gasps. “Wait, I thought we all did, don’t we all find them attractive?”

Kazuma turned to Cloud who was slightly cringing back at him, “...dude, are you into beasts and things?”

“When their tits are as big as my head, yeah I’m into it.” He replied, jutting his head over to the ogre girl behind him. The dark skinned giant squeaking with a blush. “Don’t be racist, hot girls are hot girls.”

Cloud frowned back before turning to me. “What about you two?”

“I’m with Kazuma, these women look very nice and if they’re struggling then I don’t mind trying to help them.”

“They don’t smell like demons either.” Aqua happily chimed in, “My mind keeps imagining licking the snake lady’s boobies, or kissing the water girl. Darkness, am I a perverted NEET now?” The drool on her chin answered better than I ever could.

The hushed whispers were sounding more excited now. All the girls were seemingly surprised that three of us found them attractive, some even waving flirtatiously at us now that they knew there was desire there.

Sylvia was having none of it.

“Don’t let him tempt you with flirtatious WORDS my tribe!” She hissed, anger flowing out of every word she spat at him. “I’m done answering questions! I may not be able to hurt you, but I can humiliate you!”

Before anyone could say otherwise, Sylvia once more grew her long brown tentacles to wrap Kazuma up tight in a single snap.

“What are you doing to him?!” I screamed while he was dragged towards her.

Though she’d said ‘no more questions’, the normality still compelled her to answer. “As a Chimera, my powers let me absorb information and convert it to an object I can use. Organic or artificial, living or dead, if I wished it I could become it. ” She showcased this by changing her hand into a knife and dragging it along Kazuma’s scared cheek. “It made my defensive capabilities incredible, but as an offensive tool it was often lacking. Only so much you can do with a knife for a hand.” It quickly morphed back to her brown skin making Kazuma sigh a little in relief. “So I developed a new skill, one which could change the external rather than the internal. A way to scan an object and have its information stored within me, then be able to add it to anyone or anything I want. Not just affecting my body, but any body. Now my dear Kazuma, your fascination with my breasts was apparent, perhaps you’d prefer…”

Suddenly Kazuma’s chest bubbled and morphed, expanding outwards instantly and changing color to become… a large pair of brown bosoms!

“If you had them instead!”

Kazuma cried in fear, looking down at his new chest implants with confusion. The size and shape were unmistakingly Sylvia’s, with dark skin and darker areolas, and the first time we were seeing them fully uncovered by her red dress.

“Kazuma! It’s okay! We’ll get you the lactation potion soon!” Aqua tried, in her own special way, to sound reassuring. Though the drool she was spreading didn’t help.

“Aww, don’t like it? Perhaps you’d prefer something with a bit more color?” She teased, then his new chest balloons morphed into the same green tits we saw on Stane earlier. “Not a fan of ogre breasts either? How about slime? Or minotaur? Don’t tell me you want a pair of zombie breasts?”

Though the situation of Kazuma with many different styles of breasts was fascinating and somewhat arousing, he didn’t seem happy and I hate when that happens. Under my breath I quickly whispered, “Normally Sylvia much prefers how Kazuma originally looked and refuses to change him.”

His chest finally returned to its usual look: minimal hair and muscle, just how I loved it. Kazuma sighed in relief… but Sylvia’s reaction was far more interesting. She traced her hand over where the breasts had been. Looking almost fascinated by how his pecs looked. Though she quickly shook herself out of it. “If I can’t humiliate you that way, I’ll have to figure out something else…”

“Um, Miss Sylvia.” The red lamia spoke up, waving at her chief when she turned to her, “We did bring these guys here for, you know, the ritual?”

Sylvia grinned, her smile widening, showing off her sharp, sharky teeth, “Ahh, an excellent idea my lovely Luminara. There’s no way that this little wimp could survive our trial.”

A wave of excitement grew through the monsters. Though this time it felt a little less happy and a little more… bloodthirsty.

“What is the trial? Is this what you’ve been **** people for?”

Sylvia waved her long dark arms about and the crowd settled down, the diffident seeming minotaur girl with the undersides of her gratuitous huge breasts in full view below the loose dark crop-top she wore, lowering her massive curved horns and gazing bashfully as she managed to remark, "The ritual is our way to find a human who can become our joint Chief with Sylvia. That’s why we kidnapped all those other men. We want to find the perfect partner for her to show that a human and a monster can become lovers, and maybe there’s no reason to fear us.”

“But this will not be a simple contest.” The slime girl hummed ominously. “No one’s managed to win so far…”

After a fearful look between the four of us the monsters continued. “You’ll go through five trials.” Said the purple lamia, reciting the words as if they’d all practiced this speech. “You’ll be sent into the forest and have four deadly battles with our inhabitants before you have to survive a round with the chief back here in the village.”

The red lamia nodded, “And you’re naked because you humans never gave us any tools before you hunted us down either.”

Huh.

I really thought this would be a sex thing.

“The quest said your victims were ‘left satisfied.’” Cloud pointed out. “Did you just pick up masochists or some shit?”

Sylvia once more raised the two men up with her tentacles, scratching Cloud’s chin to respond, “If you lose our ritual, your bodies become mine as forfeit. And I LOVE to play with my food. So many experiments to run with these new powers…” She chuckled considering the spiky blonde as he floated, “...perhaps you’d look fetching with a kobold cock, or a harpy’s breasts…”

“Sylvia-sama is very focused on genitals.” explained the frog girl matter-of-factly. Making Sylvia blush with the lack of tact.

“Shush Lily!” Sylvia hissed, folding her arms over her belly in a sulky way, mumbling out, “...they’re just the funnest to see human’s react to. You all made me promise not to kill them so having them orgasm with new genitals before wiping their memory is my last morsel of entertainment...”

Kazuma just laughed a little, “Yeah, I bet ya big perv.”

The large woman huffed before shaking herself out of it and dragging the two men over to a lineup of four of the monsters.

“These will be your opponents!” Sylvia declared, trying to return to hyping up her team with her grand speech. “You won’t know which of these girls will be following you into the forest! You might have to outmanoeuvre a slippery lamia! Perhaps you’ll need to be craftier than our slime! Or be tougher than our zombie! If you’re truly unlucky you’ll have to overpower the mighty minotaur!”

All the monsters looked ready to bring their all. Muscles were flexing, tongues were flicking, knuckles cracking, blades sharpening…

…

Yeah, if I don’t do something Kazuma’s definitely going to lose.

Quietly once more I mumbled. “It’s normal that this ritual is all sexual.”

“As I was saying: You might have to out-seduce our slippery lamias! Perform cunnilingus on our slime! Perhaps titfucking our zombie will bring you your quest! Or if you’re lucky, you’ll get to breed the mighty minotaur!”

Phew, that’s better.

The girl’s all looked like they were surprised, yet weirded out at why they were surprised as well. Like they knew it was normal but had never really experienced it before and were feeling nervous. Bloodthirsty grins morphing into excited awkward smiles.

“This is my kinda ritual.” Kazuma grinned happily, making some of the girls seem a little more into it.

“Not mine.” Cloud whined, giving an unimpressed look over to Sylvia. “Couldn’t you just get any random human to be your husband or whatever? Why go through all this ritual stuff?”

The crowd seemed to deflate a little, except for Sylvia who just huffed back at him. A kobold leaned in close to the floating pair to explain, “Truthfully, Sylvia-sama has had this plan for ages but only recently since the Succubae joined Axel’s denizens have we started to believe she has a point. As for why she hasn’t chosen one yet… well, she’s very picky.”

“I simply wish to find someone worthy of the position!” Sylvia hissed, hands clenching angrily in her crossed arms. “If we walk into town with any weak willed man they’ll know that we simply kidnapped the first nobody who we found!”

Another kobold piped up, “Yeah, there was that Warlock she tried to tame a couple of months ago! We don’t know why she chose him but we thought he might be the one.”

A brawny orc spoke up, "He was weak. Released his seed after a mere handful of seconds inside the Chief's hole! It would've been better to send that man to the true Void than let his seed come to life within the Chief!"

As I revelled once more in the earrings ability to change history, Sylvia agreed loudly, looking like she was making a rousing speech as the two she had captured waved around above her. “We NEED a STUD! A real alpha who will prove that we can all be tamed easily! To show others we mean no harm! Someone that can take control of an entire army of loyal followers and stand beside his partner! One that will stroke my hair after a long day, give me a hug, and make me feel safe while he tells me how pretty I am… erk!”

She flinched at everyone giving her low hanging eyes.

“SH-SHUT UP!!” She barked while stomping her foot. “Just because I want to be with someone who treats me right doesn’t mean I’m wrong! Now begin the ritual chant!”

The blushing chief stamped her foot angrily. While her threatening aura was lacking, the group still followed orders. Strange words grunting out of their mouths, a rhythm began to build as they slammed feet into ground or beat hands into chests to match the words being said. It grew loud in intensity, and with more confidence in her step Sylvia walked the two over to the edge of the forest.

“Once I let you two go I’m going to make Saffron, our dryad, close the border behind you!” She explained over the chants. “Soon after I’ll be sending in eight girls! Once one of you have beaten four of them then you will have a chance to satisfy me! If you don’t manage to, or you try to run away, I’ll be permanently changing your friends into sexless blanks!” Kazuma reacted a little more to that than he had been, looking back at the two of us worriedly.

“WHAT?!” Aqua shouted right in my ear, “But Kazuma likes my vagina and boobies the best!”

But the outburst was lost to the incredibly loud chanting. The tempo of which was now feverishly quick, I wanted to shout out Kazuma’s name but it went nowhere in the chaotic noise.

Sylvia readied their bodies. A grin on her sadistic face.

“Now you worthless humans… BEGIN!”

Once Sylvia’s endlessly creepy tentacles shot back out of the area like giant rubber bands, Kazuma and Cloud were left on their backs amongst a plethora of shrubbery. The bright sun that had been beaming down from the open space of the village suddenly vanished from their faces, a wall of vines and branches grew incredibly quickly to form a wall behind them.

The noise of the forest took over, no more monster girls talking or chanting. Now there was only the two men.

One of them got to their feet immediately and began rubbing their hands. “Okay! Let’s form a plan before we begin, shall we? I’m thinking I want to try the red Lamia and the Minotaur, but I’m willing to share if you have your eyes on her too.”

The other one just stayed on his back. “What’s the point…”

“Hm?”

“Just take all eight of them… I’m no good to seduce anyone anymore.” He sighed, arms splayed out amongst the leaves. “I should just forfeit now and save everyone the trouble.”

Kazuma frowned, not expecting to hear this kind of dejected depression from his brother in sexual arms. He squatted down to the side of the lad before taking a deep sigh.

“You know Cloud… I get it. After everything that’s happened, I feel that I too am getting tired of all the sex…”

The blonde gasped as he sat up. “R-really?”

Kazuma gave small nods, leaning in slowly to Cloud’s face…

“NO!!!” He bellowed in his face, “It’s fucking SEX! It feels FANTASTIC! Get your goddamn head in the game idiot, we’re living the dream! A whole village of hotties want us to save them with our dicks!”

Cloud put a finger in his ringing ear. “Yeah, well, my dick’s just not as long lasting as that thing.” He gestured to Kazuma’s monster which was giving off an intimidating presence even soft, the loaf-like extension dangling between the other young man’s squatting thighs, the glossy glans like a fat apple as it squashed aside a tuft of grass, “I got, like, one more in me before I’ll be shooting out air from my nuts.”

“Dude.” Intoned Kazuma with feeling, “Did you join this harem or not? You’re a badass level-whatever warrior, right? How’d you get there? You levelled up, right? Now it’s time to boost your sex-stats and gain some EXP! Do you realize how many banging-ass sluts Darkness is going to be adding to the harem-HAS already added to the harem?! I'm gonna need some help! I may have a huge dick that makes yours look like a chopstick, but dicks are graded on a scale, man! I'm kind of a freak. Where I come from that tool of yours would be a true BWC!"

"BWC?" asked Cloud warily.

Kazuma smirked, "Big White Cock. Where I come from, a pretty-boy muscle-head gaijin like you would have to beat girls off with a stick.” He got to his feet and stroked his chin, pacing back and forth in the underbrush as he thought about something. “Hmm, okay, maybe we can use this. Sylvia said that as soon as four girls are seduced or whatever then one of us can challenge her. If you can run backup for me then keep the other four busy we should be able to get through this.”

“That works for me.” Cloud agreed, standing up again. “What’s the plan?”

“I’m so glad you asked.”

Back with me and Aqua I pondered our predicament. I should be feeling more worried since I just lost sight of Kazuma again in the last thirty minutes… but he was in his element now. Just him, his penis, and a sea of girls to conquer. It also felt like… we were doing it for a good cause for once. If we do end up taking these girls under our wing I’d definitely try and give them a better life in Axel, like I have for the Succubae. They were in good hands, both with me and the world’s greatest lover that they’d pushed into the forest.

There is also a chance that if I anger them they’ll turn as beastial as the Succubae were, then no more normalities. Perhaps playing along with the strange game will let me control it more from behind the scenes. Like when I was directing my fantasies.

Aqua politely stood by as she looked between me and the others. “Wanna go watch?”

“...yes.”
