The demihumans walked around their camps. They yawned, looking through the darkness. They assigned a few beings with superb night vision. There were prepping an assault on the humans. After that, they will storm the dungeon and give it to the Green Tide. They were doing this for several reasons, but the main one was just to wage a battle against the humans. Not all of the demihumans were like them, but they were in a large alliance with several factions and dungeons. They have been discussing about their future plans, wanting to expand their control.
A catgirl crack her neck, stretching her arms above her head as they stare into nothingness.
This was going to be easy.
They would easily overwhelm the humans because... they're not entirely humans. They have perks and skills of their animals. A catgirl has the reflexes, sight, and hearing. Not the best hearing compared to a dog or wolf. Even a bat. Some of these demihumans have better stats in certain fields. A half bear human would have a strength that surpasses an average human male. The demihumans have characteristics an average human does not have.
They also have the element of surprise. The humans could and would not be able to sneak up on them.
This is an easy win.
A half dog boy tilt his head at a slight noise. A twig or piece of wood snapped in the distance. There was no other sound that followed it. It had to be some stray animal or something. He did not smell any weird scent. No big deal. He shrugs his shoulder.
The demihumans were aware of the new dungeon.
It's not a threat though. The dungeon could barely handle the invasion, and it should be recovering from the assault.
The dog boy looked around him-
What happened to his allies?
Before he could investigate, a hand clasps over his mouth. He tried to bite or scream, but darkness engulf him. A sinister aura knocks him out.
Night commands the shadow to release him. The dog boy's body hits the ground. He wasn't dead. He was unconscious. Night's skill allowed him to knock them out with relative ease depending on certain factors. He, himself, can easily sneak behind these guards and knock them out. The slimes rogues could try to, but there's a chance that the enemies could see or hear them. They needed a rank up to be as effective as Night. Then again, he's a Shadow Knight.
There's a reason why people fear the Shadow Knights.
Night was following TK's plans. If they wanted to help Irene and survive against the incoming enemy army, they need experience. There were two main ways to do it.
Tickle fucking or killing. Obviously, TK wants the former though. TK gave command of this night operation to Night. Ari stayed behind and guarded TK. She did, however, give Night her [Royal Slime]. She wanted them to get experience to become [Honor Slime].
Night eyed at the levels above the demihuman's head.
TK is a questionable master. Genius and an idiot. The dungeon ignored simple procedures. It did not create an advisor. it immediately opened and announced itself, barely survive several attacks on itself, almost died...
Then it could be a genius and capture a high level human. It survived three assaults. It's cunning just exceeds the norms of a regular dungeon. It has a personality and commitment. Night scoffs at it.
And now, it wants to power level its creations. It was launching a sneak attack on these camps. TK understood how much experience its peons would get if they attack higher level opponents.
Honestly, it was doing a lot more than power leveling its creatures. It was making more rooms within its domain for these incoming prisoners. TK will milk the prisoners for DP and their bodily fluids. TK might trade them with Jan or personally train them to become their tickle slave.
Well, enough of the thinking. Night ushered a command, watching the slimes come out of their hiding spots. They start to approach the camp. Night had command over two red knights and the two rogues. It also had slight command over the trapper, however, he was doing his own thing.
Night was going to supervise and stop any escapees. The two rogues will assist, if need be, and be on the lookout. The two knights were going to be on standby, but they will be assisting the three female maiden slimes. The maidens were going to protect the transportation of their prisoners from the camp to the dungeon.
The four royal slimes were going to lead and direct the numerous slimes and ensure the capture is as smooth as possible.
This was just the first camp... They had several more to go. The goal was to raid as many camps and capture as many people as they could within the night.
It was a simple process in terms of capturing them. The slimes would surround their intended target. If a tent housed multiple soldiers, the royal slimes ensured the right number of slimes where in the area. A royal slime would also be present. One slime would slowly wrap themselves around their mouths. This was the first area to go for to ensure secrecy. Depending on the creature, they would also go for the ears next. A good chuck of demihumans had a second pair of them. The slimes morph their body to cover those parts up. If the demihuman work up during this process, a third slime will just engulf their face. They would not be able to breathe within the slime. Hopefully, they faint from the lack of oxygen. They have to be careful with this since there's a slight chance to kill their prey.
This was just the beginning step.
After they do the above, the slimes start to consume parts of their body. Depending on their body size, they will use as many slimes as possible. A catgirl might have twenty to thirty slimes while a half bull male would have twice the amount. Luckily, most of the soldiers slept in their own tents and sleeping bags.
The reason why they were using so many slimes for an individual was due to the glaring temperature difference. The demihumans will notice a difference from their cozy sleeping bag to the chilly night. The slimes engulfed most of the prisoner's body except their face. Not a lot of people were aware of what a slime could do. TK realized how the slimes could imitate a certain temperature if it was exposed to it. The slimes memorized the warm temperature of their home, imitating it throughout their bodies. Right now, the prisoners think they were in their warm, cozy sleeping bag.
Once the slimes did all of this, they start to head back to the dungeon.
The current camp housed seventeen soldiers. Six were on watch duty, but they were knocked out by Night. They didn't have to be delicate with those prisoners. Transporting the eleven soldiers would have been an issue if TK did not scheme this up properly.
But TK cut off a lot of the what ifs. It ensured its victory, and it will win.
Night was glad he was on its side compared to being an enemy.
They were not going to receive any mercy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first batch of demihumans were the sentries. Once Night took care of them, the slimes carried their bodies back to the dungeon. They were being swarmed by the new slimes. TK would have allowed a slow start, but it needed the DP as soon as possible.
Three of the six demihumans were overwhelemed by the slime. Two of them were unable to wake up in time to defend themselves against the slimes. The slimes had consumed most of their bodies from head to toe, getting rid of their clothes. The two were a male and female demihuman with sheep features. The male demihuman sheep was on his knees, unable to get rid of the slime on his upper body. The female demihuman sheep was on the ground, trying to kick the slimes off of her lower body. Their genitals and horns were covered in slime as well. The male's arms were locked behind him with several slime bodies holding them together. Two slimes have glued themselves into the man's armpits. The slimes vibrated and scratched at his pits. The female sheep has a ticklish lower body. Her feet and legs were engulfed by the slime bodies, feeling the various sensations overwhelm her. The two were moaning and laughing their heads off, unable to contain their own reactions. The slimes on their horns and nipples did not help out. They tease these spots with no reservation, forcing them to baa in pleasure. Especially their horns. They never had their horns touched till now, feeling another overwhelming sensation surge through their body. The male came again, having the slimes tickle him even harder. The female was on the verge of a release.
One of the demihumans, a dog girl, struggled in their slimy entanglement. She woke up just in time to do something against the slimes. She still have her clothes on. The slimes tried to pull them off, but the girl held onto them with a tight grip. She maneuvered her body to stop the slimes from taking her clothes. The slimes could pin her down and strip her. But there's no fun in that. The slimes, with their liquid body, slipped into her clothes, torturing her delicious spots. The girl did not wear any shoes having dog-like feet. One slime blob engulfed one foot each, tickling them. The girl was on the floor, sitting against the wall, surrounded by these slimes. They did not engulf her like the other two, targeting her sweet spots and taking their sweet time to weaken her. She was unable to contain the sounds that came out of her mouth. There was a slime on her head, patting her head as it produce some appendages to rub at her dog ears. Hell, one of them was scratching behind her ear, making the girl lose her strength. Granted that the tickling and fucking was getting to her as well. She was on the verge of an orgasm. She was resisting though, forcing herself to resist. Sadly, she will fall and accept these pleasures.
More prisoners were coming into the dungeon. The remaining three sentries were putting up a fight. These three were able to wake up before the slimes could do anything to them. They were on the move, keeping their distance. They threw a few punches and kicks at the small grouping of slimes. They would head for a door, any door, but they noticed the higher slime variants guarding them. When they notice a few more demihumans being dragged into the place, they bee lined to them.
TK understood why they did this... especially since some of the incoming prisoners are a lot stronger than the sentries. TK allowed them to do this, ordering the slimes to attack them. The sentries consist of a dog boy, a catgirl, and a rabbit girl. They charged through the slimes, bursting through the different group of slimes. The rabbit girl was quite strong, pushing through the slimes by herself. The other two were doing alright until a large group of slimes attacked them from behind. This group had a few humanoid slimes.
The slimes harassed their fallen form. The catgirl was sitting on the floor, but the slimes made sure they had access to her tail. The ears were engulfed in slimes, two of the slimy beings teased the spot. They did extend a small tendril to harass her human ears, destroying the girl's resistance... if she had any. With most of these demihumans, the horns and animalistic ears were a soft spot. The catgirl never experienced this, unable to resist the other slimes.
The slimes restrained her wrists and ankles alone. The catgirl had her wrists restrained in front of her, but she was forced to behave herself. Oh, she could swing her arms at the female slime who supervised her, but the slimes would relentlessly punish her.
"Trying to resist? Oh no, we cannot have that. Behave yourself." The slime girl did not take any damage from the catgirl as she tickled her belly. The girl tried to resist, but with her ears being assaulted, she could not contain her giggles. When the slime girl drilled her finger into her bellybutton, the catgirl let out a high-pitch squeal. The slime girl ravage the spot, twisting her finger inside of the sweet spot. The catgirl's giggles slowly transform into a laugh. She tries to plea with the slime girl, trying to pull her limbs from their bondage.
"Oh no, you can't escape from this. You have been a naughty girl." The slime girl starts to use her other hand, scratching at her belly. A few minues later, the catgirl made a mess. She peed herself. The female slime taunts her as she cleans after her and threatens her... virginity. The slime girl morphed her body beneath the catgirl, making sure she stayed in place. Yes, she could crawl off, but then she'll be punished for it.
Two slimes had glued themselves to her armpits. She tried to squeeze them out, pushing her arms closer to her body. She wanted to pop them, hurt them.
But they are slimes. They have a flexible body. The tickling did not ease or stop from her attempts, feeling the same fingers going at the same pace.
What was maddening was a new sensation and torture to her tail. She was surprised at the touch. It felt like a real hand. She looked over her shoulder, shocked at the being.
Her tickler was... a human.
TK wanted to do this for a while. It was going to be a fun experience.
A former female bandit was allowed a bit of freedom from her own torture. In exchange, she has to torture the catgirl. Its current slimes torturing the catgirl were still new. They did not have the same touch like its experienced slimes. Hell, slimes may not be able to replicate the same touch as a real hand or claw...
So why not use the real deal?
Not only that, TK wants to see how the prisoners will carry out their new orders.
The female human used her hands and nails to send the catgirl into a crazed state. The bandit, at first, was taking it slow. It was obvious that she was trying to give some mercy. The catgirl had no resistance against it. The catgirl wiggled around frantically, sending clear signs of distress to the human. She pleaded with the human, begging her no to touch her tail. The human apologized for her attacks, explaining her own predicament. As the human bandit teased and tickled the catgirl, she was starting to... enjoy the sight of a helpless catgirl. The bandit amped up her methods, seizing the tip of her tail to tickle it. She was tickling her tail for real now.
The catgirl lands on the slime girl's body, hearing the slight threats coming from the slime girl.
"You have to stay sitting up or else we'll punish you further~" She knew she was losing her fight. She eyed at her dog comrade, hoping he was fairing a bit better.
The half dog boy was naked. He was pinned down by two slime girls. Both were on his hips. One focused solely on his stomach while the other focused on his erect penis. The rest of his body was covered in slime. They pinned him down. He could feel the gentle strokes and warm sensations around certain parts, arousing him. The slimes at his ear, for example, were doing such things.
Despite the gentle sensations, he could not ignore the harsh ones from the two female ticklers. The dog boy was aware of his sensitivity. He did not realize how ticklish his dick was. He had no clue why the female slime facing him was there. It didn't do much but watch the other slimes tickle his toned midsection. Three slime balls were on his midsection. Two were at his side and one stayed on his stomach. The one on top of him spread its body all over his abs. The next thing he felt was a vibration buzzing on his bare skin. The two slimes at his sides morphed into hands and fingers, tickling the massive targets.
The main issue for the dog boy was his manhood.
The slime girl was certainly pleasing his cock, but she was tickling the hell out of it. He could not see what was going on exactly, but he could guess a few things. There were a few slimes at his dick. One of them engulfed his testicles, sending a ticklish vibration. There was no escape from the gelatin monster. The boy thought his dick was being handled by the female slime, but another slime might have morphed itself to restrain his shaft. Slightly.
It wasn't a rough binding though. He could move it a bit, but the slime made sure that his shift was held in its erect position.
This allowed the female slime to use both her hands.
She was giving him a handjob, but she did it to get his dick in an erect state. Now, she was torturing his big shaft with two fluffy feathers. The dog boy bucked and screamed at this, but the slime pressed on. She enjoyed the helpless cock before her. It could only quiver at her feathery strikes. She ran the feather down the erect state as the other ran all over his head. Sometimes, both feathers would just focus on one part for a long time. Both feathers dusting the tip of his penis or both feathers swarming his shaft. The dog boy begged for some relief. Sadly, his tormenters will not show any mercy.
TK eyed at the next batch of demihumans. The rabbit girl did it, waking up two of the new demihumans who entered the dungeon. She tore off the slimes covering their ears, yelling at them. The two demihumans woke up and broke out of the slimes. They pried the slimes covering their bodies first, pushing away the slimes who tried to suppress them. The two new demihumans did not have the actual features of their animal, but they definitely had the strength.
The tiger girl and bear girl were resisting the slimes. Their freedom did not mean much though. They do not have the weapons and armor to win against the slime horde. TK allowed them to fight back for... experimental purposes.
TK wondered if a skill can be used without ushering its name. Night did it. The two were tossing the slimes away from them without saying anything.
The question was- well, there are a lot of questions. How many times can they do it? Was there a cooldown? Are their skills good with or without weapons?
The two tore their slime gags off, fighting against the slime horde. The two girls were protecting each other's back, punching and swiping the slimes away from them. When the slimes tried to overwhelm them with their numbers, they used a skill to intimidate them. The slimes avoided the two. The two demihumans could try to help their allies, free them, but they were wary of the dungeon and the different slimes. They also caught sight of the [Honor Slime], unsure of its capabilities.
Ari could have handled them, but TK was going to mess with them.
When the next batch of demihuman appeared, TK informed Night of its experiment and ordered two of the maidens to deal with this issue.
Specifically, the ones who tormented the bandits. It didn't get the long haired one because of her preference.
The two appeared before the demihumans without any armor. The amazon maiden went up against the bear girl while the cute maiden dealt with the tiger girl. The amazon and the beargirl charged and lock their hands together, trying to overwhelm one another with strength alone. TK ignored them for now. The engagement will take a while.
The fight with the tiger girl revealed a few things about the Slime Maidens. The tiger girl used a skill as she lunged at the cute maiden. The maiden did not move from her spot, countering with her own skill. The tiger girl punched the floor, making a small crater.
[Maiden's Parry].
It's a specific knight skill which can deflect, block, or redirection an attack, even a skill, if one times it properly. If the user does not time it properly, they will receive twice the damage.
It might sound a bit broken, but it has its cons. It can help with a one-on-one confrontation, a duel, but in a brawl, it's a different story. There are just too many enemies to pay attention to. One could not block all of the attacks at once. Especially if it came from different angles. Also, the skill has a cooldown.
The tiger girl jumped from her spot, avoiding an attack from the maiden.
[Maiden's Charge].
A move where they can close the distance. The tiger girl enhanced her body with a skill. The maiden used another skill.
[Slime Adhesive].
The tiger girl was glued to the floor. She could not tear her arms and legs out of the adhesive. The next skill caught her off guard. The slime kissed her, sending a powerful sensation through her entire body.
[Maiden's Charm] and [Slime Girl Intoxication].
The first skill comes with the Maiden's class. A skill to lower the enemy's resistance to the user's charm. The second one came from her level up while tickling her previous prey. The slime sends a bit of slime through her body, increasing the prey's vulnerable and lust. The tiger girl tried to pull her body out of the slime, but the Maiden flicks her nails into her armpits. The girl yelps at this, biting down on her lower lip. The Maiden doesn't speak, but she starts to grind her body against the tiger, starting her special session with her.
The bear girl wanted to help her ally, but she struggled with the Slime Amazon. When the bear girl used a skill, the amazon countered it.
Slowly, but surely, the bear girl fell onto her knees and cave in. She loosen her grip, allowing the slime to get a good hold on her wrists. She picked her up, holding the girl in the air. The amazon motion for its fellow allies to come close, the small slimes wanting revenge on the bear demihuman.
TK wanted these two around for two reasons. One, they were on a verge of a level up. Secondly, they could handle any further issue within the dungeon.
The cute maiden started her own tickle torture session, getting the tiger girl to plea and beg. She was on top of her body, just poking at the demihuman's toned muscles. The maiden loved the sight of a helpless strong woman.
"P-Pleasehshehhehheahhaha, d-dont'hahahha!" She manipulated a finger to act like a drill, shoving it into the demihuman's bellybutton. Her giggles becomes a burst of laughter, bucking underneath the maiden. The maiden goes in for a kiss, sending slime into her body. The woman starts to get mixed signals, unable to resist the effects.
The bear girl received a harsher treatment. The amazon clearly had an interest for guys, sitting on the girl's arms now. The slimes swarm the bear girl, tormenting every inch of her skin. The legs, the hips, her stomach, they showed no mercy. They took off her clothes, revealing every bit of her body. Her soles were a major weak spots. She kicked frantically, sending slimes up into the air. The amazon could sit on her legs, but it just watched the next batch of prisoners come in.
Once the slimes transported the new prisoners into the dungeon, they glued them onto the floor. Slimes within the torture room swarm the new prisoner, latching onto their ankles and wrists. When they start to wake up, they begin to thrash about. They start to fight back. Slimes start to jump onto the struggling prey. It was one or two at a time. The slimes will explore around a certain area, seeing what reactions they can get. Usually, the slimes would aim for the private areas first. This will distract and hinder the prey's frantic movements, allowing more slimes to jump them.
The slimes were getting experience as they explore the prisoners' bodies. This allowed TK to evolve them into their future classes.
If they're strong though, they will do what the tiger and bear girl did.
One of the prisoners was a werewolf. He immediately toss the slimes off of him, killing three slimes in the process.
The amazon got up from the bear girl, charging the werewolf. She was going to torture this being to her heart's content!
TK had a [Honor Slime] on standby, just incase. The catgirl and boy were a mess now, losing their minds to the tickle fuck torture. The five sentries giving TK a lot of DP.
Lights consumed a lot of the regular slimes. A lot of them became a slime humanoid. A few of them still have their slime ball form. All of the upgraded slimes left the room. TK instructed the new humanoids to go to the other room to play with their previous captives. To level up these slime humanoids, they needed a personal experience with their prey.
TK summoned more slimes, red and blue ones. The core ordered them to go to Night, replacing some slimes from the operation. Some of the slimes from the operations join in on the torment on these demihumans to level up. Then TK repeats the process.
More DP starts to trickle in. TK used them accordingly, upgrading and making more slimes. It was going to work on the other beings later. For now, it wants a slime army.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Night was done with the third camp. It watched the prisoners get hauled off to the dungeon. It sat on a broken log, waiting for the reinforcements.
TK was going to get a lot of supplies. Night ordered his forces to take down the camps, stripping the entire place of all of its resources. The slimes carried everything back to the dungeon.
Night eyed at a particular potion in his hand.
A [Desensitize Potion].
It will decrease one's sensitivity for an hour. He found several types of these, ranging from an hour to an entire day. He wondered what TK was going to do with these potions.
Well, this could be handy against other pleasure dungeons. Especially if they have a bunch of incubuses and succubus. Night absorbs the potion into his own storage, getting up from his seat.
He instantly grabs something that was hurled at him.
A dagger. A poisonous dagger.
The blade could not pierce his armor. He flings the weapon off to the side, turning to his right.
"A Shadow Knight? A slime one. Named. Interesting." An arachnid stood before him. Flanking her sides, two dark armored warriors stood by with a sharp shield and an odd spear. Their helmet highlight the second pair of eyes. They, too, were arachnids- half spider, half human. Their legs were covered in dark armor. The leader wore no armor over her upper body, revealing her pale skin. She has dark hair flowing over her bare breasts. "You must be from the Tickle Dungeon. My master told us about it. Surprised to see a Shadow Knight come from that dungeon though."
Night didn't speak, pointing at them. The arachnid understood him, answering his inquiry.
"Why are we here? To hunt, of course. You lot are doing the same thing we're doing. There's an issue though... There's not enough for the both of us."
There wasn't.
Night informed his master about the sudden issue, staring at the arachnid. It could try to take them on. They were at the same level. Night has a feeling it could win their engagement. The big issue was if they could afford another war with another dungeon.
Especially if they have to prep for the incoming Green Tide and the demihuman army.
"We're aware of your relationships. We try to stay hidden. Discrete. If you allow us to hunt the remaining camps, we will stay away from you and your allies. We'll toss one of our dead spiders as well. Not an arachnid though, but a huge spider." She toys with her hair, twisting her locks with her index finger.
"Take the deal Night. We have enough prisoners for now. I do not want to hand over my prey, but I do not want to make more enemies at the moment. I was aware of a dungeon being close by, but I have no clue what or who they were. I do not think we can handle this particular dungeon for now. Return back to base. I can get enough DP for our army and upgrades. I think you will want to see the Maidens' upgrades."
Night nod his head at them, agreeing to their deal. The woman smiles, "Excellent. You made the right decision. We will deliver the body once we take care of these scouts. Take care~" They left the Shadow Knight to venture further into the forest. Night saw a lot of figures swarm forward, heading towards the remaining camps. Night shook his head.
There were a lot of spiders. Too many of them in various sizes.
As he head back to the dungeon... Something gnawed at him.
Someone was there. Someone saw their conversation. Someone stalked him.
No one stalked him. He should be able to detect them.
Unless...
He immediately pulled out his enchanted swords, cutting everything around him. Something just came out of a tree. No...
Someone came out of the shadows.
[Shadow Assassin]
[Nemesis]
[Level 10]
Night tried to entangle the assassin with the shadows, but they disperse, edging away from the assassin. Night could tell it was a female from a quick glance of her armor. She tossed several daggers at him. He swings his sword, deflecting all of them. They hit the floor around him. Three bodies emerged from the daggers. Night morphs his armor to use his pointy tips as a weapon. He impaled them through their head. He felt an aura behind him, swinging his blade at the real assassin. She blocks it, aiming her crossbow with her other hand. She was using a skill, empowering her shot. He did not dodge or retreat, closing the gap between them. He holds onto the crossbow. She fires it at point blank, a soundless explosion sending the two across the forest. The assassin got up, shaking herself from the impact. Her armor or cloak protected her from the damage.
Night appears beside her, grabbing her by the cloak and tossed her through the forest with all his might. She crashed into a tree trunk, taking damage from the impact. Night examined his right arm.
Her explosive shot damaged him. He could heal it, but he was saving it for later. He knew something was odd with her skill. The explosion tore through his defense. He had armor still, but it has a crack now. Worse of all, the explosion was soundless. Too many benefits for that.
A scary goddamn assassin. She was half his level, but she can definitely threaten his life.
TK noticed the disturbance, sending a squad to his position.
Night told him not to. She could easily kill them.
He moved from his spot, charging at her. He entered the shadows, heading towards the assassin's position. She was aware of this, doing the same thing to keep the distance between them. He did not stay in the shadows for long. He appeared next to his sword, flinging it at a tree. The moment it landed, the assassin jumped out from the shadows. Night teleported to the sword's location, swinging another blade he pulled out. Nemesis blocks it, but she was heading towards the ground. She easily landed on her two feet, pulling out another crossbow. He was going to charge forward, but he returned into the shadows, avoiding several incoming bolts.
She had conjured up some clones in several locations. Night silences them with his swords. He commanded the shadows to spit his swords at them, killing each one of them. He knew where they were because... they were made out of shadows. This fight was on a whole different level. They were popping out of nowhere, retreating, pursuing, engaging, there was no limit to their battle.
The two avoided some skills because they could easily cancel them. Night realizes this with his first attempt to capture her. He toss a sword at her. She countered by blasting it away with her explosive bolts.
But for how long?
Night kept tossing them, making the assassin waste her explosive power. The knight could not figure out if it was a skill or an actual bolt. Either way, he was going to make her waste her ammunition. The moment she stopped using them, a sword landed behind her. He teleports to the sword, swinging both blades parallel to each other. She blocks it with her crossbow and short sword, backing up for a second. Her crossbow was replaced with another short sword. The woman held it in a reverse style, confusing the knight as she parried and slash at Night. She was fast though and revealed a secret.
Her armor unleashed a bunch of blades at her command. Two popped out from her elbows, almost stabbing Night in his head. When she kicks him, a blade appears from the tip of her boots. Night could have ignored these attacks, but the blades were piercing through his armor. He was taking damage. He was not aware of her arsenal, revealing dangerous surprises left and right.
He had to end this or else he'll die.
He activated a skill, ramming his blade against her swords. She was stunned for a few seconds, allowing Night to punch her in the head. She took the attack, rolling towards the left. A sword was already behind her.
Night appeared near his sword, standing at her back. He did not allow her to turn, winding up for another punch. He heard something break as his fist punctured her helmet. He knows the helmet was in pieces. He wants to see his opponent's face.
He would have saw her face... if a bunch of clones didn't blast him. It was sudden. Night could not evade this.
Soundless explosions erupt all around him, sending the Shadow Knight through the air. He lands on his feet, enraged by the dire situation. He was ready to pull out all of his weapons. He was going to go all out. He immediately scans the area, waiting for her assault.
She left.
He checked the area, finding no trace of the woman. He scanned the area, hoping that he could feel her presence. She could not linger in the shadows. He would be able to sense her. After two minutes have passed, he lowered his weapons. He walked towards the shattered remains of her helmet. Despite the explosion, it was still there. He picked it up, examining the fine metal. He would have to bother a blacksmith or his master about it. He immediately stored the fragments, staring at his own body.
"Night, are you alright- The hell?!" Ari was there. She had three red knights with her.
His armor was in ruins. It covered his body still, but it has cracks. A lot of them. It will take some time to heal. He could patch himself up, but he did not want to waste his mana or skill. They still have to worry about the incoming invasion.
A Shadow Assassin.
He understood why he should not fight against a class of his own type now. He wondered who the Shadow Assassin worked for though. It was not from the arachnids. They should have engaged him the moment they met.
It could be from the Green Tide or demihumans, yet they should have spotted him when they did their operations.
No, some other group was close by.
Either way, he has to recover from this ordeal. He walked back to the dungeon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A woman stood on a ledge overlooking the forest. She wears a slim plate armor, holding her helmet underneath her armpit. Her light blue eyes resonate with mana, her blonde hair flowing in the wind. She can see the spider horde swarming the various camps. Her pointy ears heard an incoming figure approach her.
"Report?" She asks.
"Seems like the dungeons were hunting tonight. Surprisingly, the new dungeon has a lot more to them.
"How so-" the elf stared at the Shadow Assassin, "Oh... They did that to you?"
"...don't remind me. It's embarrassing. That tickle dungeon has a Shadow Knight. A slime one. I had to use my explosive bolts on him and a couple skills. I am not happy at the outcome. I was going to lose." The Shadow Assassin has long white hair following against her back. Blood trickle down her beautiful face. She was frowning.
"This... is a first."
"Yeah. It annoys me. I haven't lost to anyone until now. I should have avoided him."
"Don't let this bother you Nemesis. You came back to us in one piece."
"The dungeon's nature is to capture more than kill. It does the latter if its forced to kill. Either way, we can still continue our operation and level our troops. Those spiders have levels on them. There's a lot of them as well. We can diminish their force to prevent future issues."
"Fair enough. I'm a bit shocked at this Shadow Knight. How did he break your helmet?"
"... he punched it."
"Excuse me? He punched it? He broke your helmet by punching it?"
"Yes... please, no more. It's embarrassing."
"Alright Nemesis. You can take it easy." The elf dawns on her helmet, heading towards the other plated elves.
"Let us commence our hunt now."
A catgirl crack her neck, stretching her arms above her head as they stare into nothingness.
This was going to be easy.
They would easily overwhelm the humans because... they're not entirely humans. They have perks and skills of their animals. A catgirl has the reflexes, sight, and hearing. Not the best hearing compared to a dog or wolf. Even a bat. Some of these demihumans have better stats in certain fields. A half bear human would have a strength that surpasses an average human male. The demihumans have characteristics an average human does not have.
They also have the element of surprise. The humans could and would not be able to sneak up on them.
This is an easy win.
A half dog boy tilt his head at a slight noise. A twig or piece of wood snapped in the distance. There was no other sound that followed it. It had to be some stray animal or something. He did not smell any weird scent. No big deal. He shrugs his shoulder.
The demihumans were aware of the new dungeon.
It's not a threat though. The dungeon could barely handle the invasion, and it should be recovering from the assault.
The dog boy looked around him-
What happened to his allies?
Before he could investigate, a hand clasps over his mouth. He tried to bite or scream, but darkness engulf him. A sinister aura knocks him out.
Night commands the shadow to release him. The dog boy's body hits the ground. He wasn't dead. He was unconscious. Night's skill allowed him to knock them out with relative ease depending on certain factors. He, himself, can easily sneak behind these guards and knock them out. The slimes rogues could try to, but there's a chance that the enemies could see or hear them. They needed a rank up to be as effective as Night. Then again, he's a Shadow Knight.
There's a reason why people fear the Shadow Knights.
Night was following TK's plans. If they wanted to help Irene and survive against the incoming enemy army, they need experience. There were two main ways to do it.
Tickle fucking or killing. Obviously, TK wants the former though. TK gave command of this night operation to Night. Ari stayed behind and guarded TK. She did, however, give Night her [Royal Slime]. She wanted them to get experience to become [Honor Slime].
Night eyed at the levels above the demihuman's head.
TK is a questionable master. Genius and an idiot. The dungeon ignored simple procedures. It did not create an advisor. it immediately opened and announced itself, barely survive several attacks on itself, almost died...
Then it could be a genius and capture a high level human. It survived three assaults. It's cunning just exceeds the norms of a regular dungeon. It has a personality and commitment. Night scoffs at it.
And now, it wants to power level its creations. It was launching a sneak attack on these camps. TK understood how much experience its peons would get if they attack higher level opponents.
Honestly, it was doing a lot more than power leveling its creatures. It was making more rooms within its domain for these incoming prisoners. TK will milk the prisoners for DP and their bodily fluids. TK might trade them with Jan or personally train them to become their tickle slave.
Well, enough of the thinking. Night ushered a command, watching the slimes come out of their hiding spots. They start to approach the camp. Night had command over two red knights and the two rogues. It also had slight command over the trapper, however, he was doing his own thing.
Night was going to supervise and stop any escapees. The two rogues will assist, if need be, and be on the lookout. The two knights were going to be on standby, but they will be assisting the three female maiden slimes. The maidens were going to protect the transportation of their prisoners from the camp to the dungeon.
The four royal slimes were going to lead and direct the numerous slimes and ensure the capture is as smooth as possible.
This was just the first camp... They had several more to go. The goal was to raid as many camps and capture as many people as they could within the night.
It was a simple process in terms of capturing them. The slimes would surround their intended target. If a tent housed multiple soldiers, the royal slimes ensured the right number of slimes where in the area. A royal slime would also be present. One slime would slowly wrap themselves around their mouths. This was the first area to go for to ensure secrecy. Depending on the creature, they would also go for the ears next. A good chuck of demihumans had a second pair of them. The slimes morph their body to cover those parts up. If the demihuman work up during this process, a third slime will just engulf their face. They would not be able to breathe within the slime. Hopefully, they faint from the lack of oxygen. They have to be careful with this since there's a slight chance to kill their prey.
This was just the beginning step.
After they do the above, the slimes start to consume parts of their body. Depending on their body size, they will use as many slimes as possible. A catgirl might have twenty to thirty slimes while a half bull male would have twice the amount. Luckily, most of the soldiers slept in their own tents and sleeping bags.
The reason why they were using so many slimes for an individual was due to the glaring temperature difference. The demihumans will notice a difference from their cozy sleeping bag to the chilly night. The slimes engulfed most of the prisoner's body except their face. Not a lot of people were aware of what a slime could do. TK realized how the slimes could imitate a certain temperature if it was exposed to it. The slimes memorized the warm temperature of their home, imitating it throughout their bodies. Right now, the prisoners think they were in their warm, cozy sleeping bag.
Once the slimes did all of this, they start to head back to the dungeon.
The current camp housed seventeen soldiers. Six were on watch duty, but they were knocked out by Night. They didn't have to be delicate with those prisoners. Transporting the eleven soldiers would have been an issue if TK did not scheme this up properly.
But TK cut off a lot of the what ifs. It ensured its victory, and it will win.
Night was glad he was on its side compared to being an enemy.
They were not going to receive any mercy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first batch of demihumans were the sentries. Once Night took care of them, the slimes carried their bodies back to the dungeon. They were being swarmed by the new slimes. TK would have allowed a slow start, but it needed the DP as soon as possible.
Three of the six demihumans were overwhelemed by the slime. Two of them were unable to wake up in time to defend themselves against the slimes. The slimes had consumed most of their bodies from head to toe, getting rid of their clothes. The two were a male and female demihuman with sheep features. The male demihuman sheep was on his knees, unable to get rid of the slime on his upper body. The female demihuman sheep was on the ground, trying to kick the slimes off of her lower body. Their genitals and horns were covered in slime as well. The male's arms were locked behind him with several slime bodies holding them together. Two slimes have glued themselves into the man's armpits. The slimes vibrated and scratched at his pits. The female sheep has a ticklish lower body. Her feet and legs were engulfed by the slime bodies, feeling the various sensations overwhelm her. The two were moaning and laughing their heads off, unable to contain their own reactions. The slimes on their horns and nipples did not help out. They tease these spots with no reservation, forcing them to baa in pleasure. Especially their horns. They never had their horns touched till now, feeling another overwhelming sensation surge through their body. The male came again, having the slimes tickle him even harder. The female was on the verge of a release.
One of the demihumans, a dog girl, struggled in their slimy entanglement. She woke up just in time to do something against the slimes. She still have her clothes on. The slimes tried to pull them off, but the girl held onto them with a tight grip. She maneuvered her body to stop the slimes from taking her clothes. The slimes could pin her down and strip her. But there's no fun in that. The slimes, with their liquid body, slipped into her clothes, torturing her delicious spots. The girl did not wear any shoes having dog-like feet. One slime blob engulfed one foot each, tickling them. The girl was on the floor, sitting against the wall, surrounded by these slimes. They did not engulf her like the other two, targeting her sweet spots and taking their sweet time to weaken her. She was unable to contain the sounds that came out of her mouth. There was a slime on her head, patting her head as it produce some appendages to rub at her dog ears. Hell, one of them was scratching behind her ear, making the girl lose her strength. Granted that the tickling and fucking was getting to her as well. She was on the verge of an orgasm. She was resisting though, forcing herself to resist. Sadly, she will fall and accept these pleasures.
More prisoners were coming into the dungeon. The remaining three sentries were putting up a fight. These three were able to wake up before the slimes could do anything to them. They were on the move, keeping their distance. They threw a few punches and kicks at the small grouping of slimes. They would head for a door, any door, but they noticed the higher slime variants guarding them. When they notice a few more demihumans being dragged into the place, they bee lined to them.
TK understood why they did this... especially since some of the incoming prisoners are a lot stronger than the sentries. TK allowed them to do this, ordering the slimes to attack them. The sentries consist of a dog boy, a catgirl, and a rabbit girl. They charged through the slimes, bursting through the different group of slimes. The rabbit girl was quite strong, pushing through the slimes by herself. The other two were doing alright until a large group of slimes attacked them from behind. This group had a few humanoid slimes.
The slimes harassed their fallen form. The catgirl was sitting on the floor, but the slimes made sure they had access to her tail. The ears were engulfed in slimes, two of the slimy beings teased the spot. They did extend a small tendril to harass her human ears, destroying the girl's resistance... if she had any. With most of these demihumans, the horns and animalistic ears were a soft spot. The catgirl never experienced this, unable to resist the other slimes.
The slimes restrained her wrists and ankles alone. The catgirl had her wrists restrained in front of her, but she was forced to behave herself. Oh, she could swing her arms at the female slime who supervised her, but the slimes would relentlessly punish her.
"Trying to resist? Oh no, we cannot have that. Behave yourself." The slime girl did not take any damage from the catgirl as she tickled her belly. The girl tried to resist, but with her ears being assaulted, she could not contain her giggles. When the slime girl drilled her finger into her bellybutton, the catgirl let out a high-pitch squeal. The slime girl ravage the spot, twisting her finger inside of the sweet spot. The catgirl's giggles slowly transform into a laugh. She tries to plea with the slime girl, trying to pull her limbs from their bondage.
"Oh no, you can't escape from this. You have been a naughty girl." The slime girl starts to use her other hand, scratching at her belly. A few minues later, the catgirl made a mess. She peed herself. The female slime taunts her as she cleans after her and threatens her... virginity. The slime girl morphed her body beneath the catgirl, making sure she stayed in place. Yes, she could crawl off, but then she'll be punished for it.
Two slimes had glued themselves to her armpits. She tried to squeeze them out, pushing her arms closer to her body. She wanted to pop them, hurt them.
But they are slimes. They have a flexible body. The tickling did not ease or stop from her attempts, feeling the same fingers going at the same pace.
What was maddening was a new sensation and torture to her tail. She was surprised at the touch. It felt like a real hand. She looked over her shoulder, shocked at the being.
Her tickler was... a human.
TK wanted to do this for a while. It was going to be a fun experience.
A former female bandit was allowed a bit of freedom from her own torture. In exchange, she has to torture the catgirl. Its current slimes torturing the catgirl were still new. They did not have the same touch like its experienced slimes. Hell, slimes may not be able to replicate the same touch as a real hand or claw...
So why not use the real deal?
Not only that, TK wants to see how the prisoners will carry out their new orders.
The female human used her hands and nails to send the catgirl into a crazed state. The bandit, at first, was taking it slow. It was obvious that she was trying to give some mercy. The catgirl had no resistance against it. The catgirl wiggled around frantically, sending clear signs of distress to the human. She pleaded with the human, begging her no to touch her tail. The human apologized for her attacks, explaining her own predicament. As the human bandit teased and tickled the catgirl, she was starting to... enjoy the sight of a helpless catgirl. The bandit amped up her methods, seizing the tip of her tail to tickle it. She was tickling her tail for real now.
The catgirl lands on the slime girl's body, hearing the slight threats coming from the slime girl.
"You have to stay sitting up or else we'll punish you further~" She knew she was losing her fight. She eyed at her dog comrade, hoping he was fairing a bit better.
The half dog boy was naked. He was pinned down by two slime girls. Both were on his hips. One focused solely on his stomach while the other focused on his erect penis. The rest of his body was covered in slime. They pinned him down. He could feel the gentle strokes and warm sensations around certain parts, arousing him. The slimes at his ear, for example, were doing such things.
Despite the gentle sensations, he could not ignore the harsh ones from the two female ticklers. The dog boy was aware of his sensitivity. He did not realize how ticklish his dick was. He had no clue why the female slime facing him was there. It didn't do much but watch the other slimes tickle his toned midsection. Three slime balls were on his midsection. Two were at his side and one stayed on his stomach. The one on top of him spread its body all over his abs. The next thing he felt was a vibration buzzing on his bare skin. The two slimes at his sides morphed into hands and fingers, tickling the massive targets.
The main issue for the dog boy was his manhood.
The slime girl was certainly pleasing his cock, but she was tickling the hell out of it. He could not see what was going on exactly, but he could guess a few things. There were a few slimes at his dick. One of them engulfed his testicles, sending a ticklish vibration. There was no escape from the gelatin monster. The boy thought his dick was being handled by the female slime, but another slime might have morphed itself to restrain his shaft. Slightly.
It wasn't a rough binding though. He could move it a bit, but the slime made sure that his shift was held in its erect position.
This allowed the female slime to use both her hands.
She was giving him a handjob, but she did it to get his dick in an erect state. Now, she was torturing his big shaft with two fluffy feathers. The dog boy bucked and screamed at this, but the slime pressed on. She enjoyed the helpless cock before her. It could only quiver at her feathery strikes. She ran the feather down the erect state as the other ran all over his head. Sometimes, both feathers would just focus on one part for a long time. Both feathers dusting the tip of his penis or both feathers swarming his shaft. The dog boy begged for some relief. Sadly, his tormenters will not show any mercy.
TK eyed at the next batch of demihumans. The rabbit girl did it, waking up two of the new demihumans who entered the dungeon. She tore off the slimes covering their ears, yelling at them. The two demihumans woke up and broke out of the slimes. They pried the slimes covering their bodies first, pushing away the slimes who tried to suppress them. The two new demihumans did not have the actual features of their animal, but they definitely had the strength.
The tiger girl and bear girl were resisting the slimes. Their freedom did not mean much though. They do not have the weapons and armor to win against the slime horde. TK allowed them to fight back for... experimental purposes.
TK wondered if a skill can be used without ushering its name. Night did it. The two were tossing the slimes away from them without saying anything.
The question was- well, there are a lot of questions. How many times can they do it? Was there a cooldown? Are their skills good with or without weapons?
The two tore their slime gags off, fighting against the slime horde. The two girls were protecting each other's back, punching and swiping the slimes away from them. When the slimes tried to overwhelm them with their numbers, they used a skill to intimidate them. The slimes avoided the two. The two demihumans could try to help their allies, free them, but they were wary of the dungeon and the different slimes. They also caught sight of the [Honor Slime], unsure of its capabilities.
Ari could have handled them, but TK was going to mess with them.
When the next batch of demihuman appeared, TK informed Night of its experiment and ordered two of the maidens to deal with this issue.
Specifically, the ones who tormented the bandits. It didn't get the long haired one because of her preference.
The two appeared before the demihumans without any armor. The amazon maiden went up against the bear girl while the cute maiden dealt with the tiger girl. The amazon and the beargirl charged and lock their hands together, trying to overwhelm one another with strength alone. TK ignored them for now. The engagement will take a while.
The fight with the tiger girl revealed a few things about the Slime Maidens. The tiger girl used a skill as she lunged at the cute maiden. The maiden did not move from her spot, countering with her own skill. The tiger girl punched the floor, making a small crater.
[Maiden's Parry].
It's a specific knight skill which can deflect, block, or redirection an attack, even a skill, if one times it properly. If the user does not time it properly, they will receive twice the damage.
It might sound a bit broken, but it has its cons. It can help with a one-on-one confrontation, a duel, but in a brawl, it's a different story. There are just too many enemies to pay attention to. One could not block all of the attacks at once. Especially if it came from different angles. Also, the skill has a cooldown.
The tiger girl jumped from her spot, avoiding an attack from the maiden.
[Maiden's Charge].
A move where they can close the distance. The tiger girl enhanced her body with a skill. The maiden used another skill.
[Slime Adhesive].
The tiger girl was glued to the floor. She could not tear her arms and legs out of the adhesive. The next skill caught her off guard. The slime kissed her, sending a powerful sensation through her entire body.
[Maiden's Charm] and [Slime Girl Intoxication].
The first skill comes with the Maiden's class. A skill to lower the enemy's resistance to the user's charm. The second one came from her level up while tickling her previous prey. The slime sends a bit of slime through her body, increasing the prey's vulnerable and lust. The tiger girl tried to pull her body out of the slime, but the Maiden flicks her nails into her armpits. The girl yelps at this, biting down on her lower lip. The Maiden doesn't speak, but she starts to grind her body against the tiger, starting her special session with her.
The bear girl wanted to help her ally, but she struggled with the Slime Amazon. When the bear girl used a skill, the amazon countered it.
Slowly, but surely, the bear girl fell onto her knees and cave in. She loosen her grip, allowing the slime to get a good hold on her wrists. She picked her up, holding the girl in the air. The amazon motion for its fellow allies to come close, the small slimes wanting revenge on the bear demihuman.
TK wanted these two around for two reasons. One, they were on a verge of a level up. Secondly, they could handle any further issue within the dungeon.
The cute maiden started her own tickle torture session, getting the tiger girl to plea and beg. She was on top of her body, just poking at the demihuman's toned muscles. The maiden loved the sight of a helpless strong woman.
"P-Pleasehshehhehheahhaha, d-dont'hahahha!" She manipulated a finger to act like a drill, shoving it into the demihuman's bellybutton. Her giggles becomes a burst of laughter, bucking underneath the maiden. The maiden goes in for a kiss, sending slime into her body. The woman starts to get mixed signals, unable to resist the effects.
The bear girl received a harsher treatment. The amazon clearly had an interest for guys, sitting on the girl's arms now. The slimes swarm the bear girl, tormenting every inch of her skin. The legs, the hips, her stomach, they showed no mercy. They took off her clothes, revealing every bit of her body. Her soles were a major weak spots. She kicked frantically, sending slimes up into the air. The amazon could sit on her legs, but it just watched the next batch of prisoners come in.
Once the slimes transported the new prisoners into the dungeon, they glued them onto the floor. Slimes within the torture room swarm the new prisoner, latching onto their ankles and wrists. When they start to wake up, they begin to thrash about. They start to fight back. Slimes start to jump onto the struggling prey. It was one or two at a time. The slimes will explore around a certain area, seeing what reactions they can get. Usually, the slimes would aim for the private areas first. This will distract and hinder the prey's frantic movements, allowing more slimes to jump them.
The slimes were getting experience as they explore the prisoners' bodies. This allowed TK to evolve them into their future classes.
If they're strong though, they will do what the tiger and bear girl did.
One of the prisoners was a werewolf. He immediately toss the slimes off of him, killing three slimes in the process.
The amazon got up from the bear girl, charging the werewolf. She was going to torture this being to her heart's content!
TK had a [Honor Slime] on standby, just incase. The catgirl and boy were a mess now, losing their minds to the tickle fuck torture. The five sentries giving TK a lot of DP.
Lights consumed a lot of the regular slimes. A lot of them became a slime humanoid. A few of them still have their slime ball form. All of the upgraded slimes left the room. TK instructed the new humanoids to go to the other room to play with their previous captives. To level up these slime humanoids, they needed a personal experience with their prey.
TK summoned more slimes, red and blue ones. The core ordered them to go to Night, replacing some slimes from the operation. Some of the slimes from the operations join in on the torment on these demihumans to level up. Then TK repeats the process.
More DP starts to trickle in. TK used them accordingly, upgrading and making more slimes. It was going to work on the other beings later. For now, it wants a slime army.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Night was done with the third camp. It watched the prisoners get hauled off to the dungeon. It sat on a broken log, waiting for the reinforcements.
TK was going to get a lot of supplies. Night ordered his forces to take down the camps, stripping the entire place of all of its resources. The slimes carried everything back to the dungeon.
Night eyed at a particular potion in his hand.
A [Desensitize Potion].
It will decrease one's sensitivity for an hour. He found several types of these, ranging from an hour to an entire day. He wondered what TK was going to do with these potions.
Well, this could be handy against other pleasure dungeons. Especially if they have a bunch of incubuses and succubus. Night absorbs the potion into his own storage, getting up from his seat.
He instantly grabs something that was hurled at him.
A dagger. A poisonous dagger.
The blade could not pierce his armor. He flings the weapon off to the side, turning to his right.
"A Shadow Knight? A slime one. Named. Interesting." An arachnid stood before him. Flanking her sides, two dark armored warriors stood by with a sharp shield and an odd spear. Their helmet highlight the second pair of eyes. They, too, were arachnids- half spider, half human. Their legs were covered in dark armor. The leader wore no armor over her upper body, revealing her pale skin. She has dark hair flowing over her bare breasts. "You must be from the Tickle Dungeon. My master told us about it. Surprised to see a Shadow Knight come from that dungeon though."
Night didn't speak, pointing at them. The arachnid understood him, answering his inquiry.
"Why are we here? To hunt, of course. You lot are doing the same thing we're doing. There's an issue though... There's not enough for the both of us."
There wasn't.
Night informed his master about the sudden issue, staring at the arachnid. It could try to take them on. They were at the same level. Night has a feeling it could win their engagement. The big issue was if they could afford another war with another dungeon.
Especially if they have to prep for the incoming Green Tide and the demihuman army.
"We're aware of your relationships. We try to stay hidden. Discrete. If you allow us to hunt the remaining camps, we will stay away from you and your allies. We'll toss one of our dead spiders as well. Not an arachnid though, but a huge spider." She toys with her hair, twisting her locks with her index finger.
"Take the deal Night. We have enough prisoners for now. I do not want to hand over my prey, but I do not want to make more enemies at the moment. I was aware of a dungeon being close by, but I have no clue what or who they were. I do not think we can handle this particular dungeon for now. Return back to base. I can get enough DP for our army and upgrades. I think you will want to see the Maidens' upgrades."
Night nod his head at them, agreeing to their deal. The woman smiles, "Excellent. You made the right decision. We will deliver the body once we take care of these scouts. Take care~" They left the Shadow Knight to venture further into the forest. Night saw a lot of figures swarm forward, heading towards the remaining camps. Night shook his head.
There were a lot of spiders. Too many of them in various sizes.
As he head back to the dungeon... Something gnawed at him.
Someone was there. Someone saw their conversation. Someone stalked him.
No one stalked him. He should be able to detect them.
Unless...
He immediately pulled out his enchanted swords, cutting everything around him. Something just came out of a tree. No...
Someone came out of the shadows.
[Shadow Assassin]
[Nemesis]
[Level 10]
Night tried to entangle the assassin with the shadows, but they disperse, edging away from the assassin. Night could tell it was a female from a quick glance of her armor. She tossed several daggers at him. He swings his sword, deflecting all of them. They hit the floor around him. Three bodies emerged from the daggers. Night morphs his armor to use his pointy tips as a weapon. He impaled them through their head. He felt an aura behind him, swinging his blade at the real assassin. She blocks it, aiming her crossbow with her other hand. She was using a skill, empowering her shot. He did not dodge or retreat, closing the gap between them. He holds onto the crossbow. She fires it at point blank, a soundless explosion sending the two across the forest. The assassin got up, shaking herself from the impact. Her armor or cloak protected her from the damage.
Night appears beside her, grabbing her by the cloak and tossed her through the forest with all his might. She crashed into a tree trunk, taking damage from the impact. Night examined his right arm.
Her explosive shot damaged him. He could heal it, but he was saving it for later. He knew something was odd with her skill. The explosion tore through his defense. He had armor still, but it has a crack now. Worse of all, the explosion was soundless. Too many benefits for that.
A scary goddamn assassin. She was half his level, but she can definitely threaten his life.
TK noticed the disturbance, sending a squad to his position.
Night told him not to. She could easily kill them.
He moved from his spot, charging at her. He entered the shadows, heading towards the assassin's position. She was aware of this, doing the same thing to keep the distance between them. He did not stay in the shadows for long. He appeared next to his sword, flinging it at a tree. The moment it landed, the assassin jumped out from the shadows. Night teleported to the sword's location, swinging another blade he pulled out. Nemesis blocks it, but she was heading towards the ground. She easily landed on her two feet, pulling out another crossbow. He was going to charge forward, but he returned into the shadows, avoiding several incoming bolts.
She had conjured up some clones in several locations. Night silences them with his swords. He commanded the shadows to spit his swords at them, killing each one of them. He knew where they were because... they were made out of shadows. This fight was on a whole different level. They were popping out of nowhere, retreating, pursuing, engaging, there was no limit to their battle.
The two avoided some skills because they could easily cancel them. Night realizes this with his first attempt to capture her. He toss a sword at her. She countered by blasting it away with her explosive bolts.
But for how long?
Night kept tossing them, making the assassin waste her explosive power. The knight could not figure out if it was a skill or an actual bolt. Either way, he was going to make her waste her ammunition. The moment she stopped using them, a sword landed behind her. He teleports to the sword, swinging both blades parallel to each other. She blocks it with her crossbow and short sword, backing up for a second. Her crossbow was replaced with another short sword. The woman held it in a reverse style, confusing the knight as she parried and slash at Night. She was fast though and revealed a secret.
Her armor unleashed a bunch of blades at her command. Two popped out from her elbows, almost stabbing Night in his head. When she kicks him, a blade appears from the tip of her boots. Night could have ignored these attacks, but the blades were piercing through his armor. He was taking damage. He was not aware of her arsenal, revealing dangerous surprises left and right.
He had to end this or else he'll die.
He activated a skill, ramming his blade against her swords. She was stunned for a few seconds, allowing Night to punch her in the head. She took the attack, rolling towards the left. A sword was already behind her.
Night appeared near his sword, standing at her back. He did not allow her to turn, winding up for another punch. He heard something break as his fist punctured her helmet. He knows the helmet was in pieces. He wants to see his opponent's face.
He would have saw her face... if a bunch of clones didn't blast him. It was sudden. Night could not evade this.
Soundless explosions erupt all around him, sending the Shadow Knight through the air. He lands on his feet, enraged by the dire situation. He was ready to pull out all of his weapons. He was going to go all out. He immediately scans the area, waiting for her assault.
She left.
He checked the area, finding no trace of the woman. He scanned the area, hoping that he could feel her presence. She could not linger in the shadows. He would be able to sense her. After two minutes have passed, he lowered his weapons. He walked towards the shattered remains of her helmet. Despite the explosion, it was still there. He picked it up, examining the fine metal. He would have to bother a blacksmith or his master about it. He immediately stored the fragments, staring at his own body.
"Night, are you alright- The hell?!" Ari was there. She had three red knights with her.
His armor was in ruins. It covered his body still, but it has cracks. A lot of them. It will take some time to heal. He could patch himself up, but he did not want to waste his mana or skill. They still have to worry about the incoming invasion.
A Shadow Assassin.
He understood why he should not fight against a class of his own type now. He wondered who the Shadow Assassin worked for though. It was not from the arachnids. They should have engaged him the moment they met.
It could be from the Green Tide or demihumans, yet they should have spotted him when they did their operations.
No, some other group was close by.
Either way, he has to recover from this ordeal. He walked back to the dungeon.

A woman stood on a ledge overlooking the forest. She wears a slim plate armor, holding her helmet underneath her armpit. Her light blue eyes resonate with mana, her blonde hair flowing in the wind. She can see the spider horde swarming the various camps. Her pointy ears heard an incoming figure approach her.
"Report?" She asks.
"Seems like the dungeons were hunting tonight. Surprisingly, the new dungeon has a lot more to them.
"How so-" the elf stared at the Shadow Assassin, "Oh... They did that to you?"
"...don't remind me. It's embarrassing. That tickle dungeon has a Shadow Knight. A slime one. I had to use my explosive bolts on him and a couple skills. I am not happy at the outcome. I was going to lose." The Shadow Assassin has long white hair following against her back. Blood trickle down her beautiful face. She was frowning.
"This... is a first."
"Yeah. It annoys me. I haven't lost to anyone until now. I should have avoided him."
"Don't let this bother you Nemesis. You came back to us in one piece."
"The dungeon's nature is to capture more than kill. It does the latter if its forced to kill. Either way, we can still continue our operation and level our troops. Those spiders have levels on them. There's a lot of them as well. We can diminish their force to prevent future issues."
"Fair enough. I'm a bit shocked at this Shadow Knight. How did he break your helmet?"
"... he punched it."
"Excuse me? He punched it? He broke your helmet by punching it?"
"Yes... please, no more. It's embarrassing."
"Alright Nemesis. You can take it easy." The elf dawns on her helmet, heading towards the other plated elves.
"Let us commence our hunt now."
