A little while later, four succubi were prostrating on the ground while the two girls under their influence were finally freed from the succubus's love magic. But the thing they were worried about the most was not what they did but because…. "The Lord saw us doing dirty things!"
Lillia stood in front of the four girls, who all had purple hair and small bat wings on their backs. Their thin long black tail with a heart shape at the end curled up behind them. They came in all sizes, from large breasts to small, but Blake could see that no matter what, they were all beauties. Lillia, though, had only just calmed down, but she was still angry at being called ugly. "So tell me, why are you calling my HUSBAND master?"
"We…. Because male drakani are the only ones who can help our race reproduce. Since they are part succubus. Succubus can not reproduce on our own any longer…. Before the great war, we succubi were cursed by a necromancer. We can no longer breed with other men, which is why we stopped taking in male sperm and switched to women.
"We did not wish to have false hope in reproduction but still needed to eat. Our sisters have been either enslaved or died. We four sisters are all that is left of our race. We do not know what happened to the ones who were enslaved. But I can only guess they were killed. In the void, we hid ourselves away, at that time, we had one hundred of us. But hunger set in, and food was scarce. We sisters were the lucky ones.
"As our numbers dwindled, we figured out how to sustain ourselves for tens of thousands of years using our bodies as a means to nourish each other. While we could not satiate our hunger, we could at least stay alive. We tried to explain this to the other succubi, but they ignored us and said such a thing was forbidden. It truly was a forbidden practice because we were slowly growing weaker. If we had not combined our powers to charm these humans, we would never have had the chance to feed." The succubus named Tuilia bowed her head back down on the ground and said: "Lord, please…. Help our race. You are the only ones who can do it!"
Blake was unsure of how to answer such a question. He felt sorry for them, but he could not see bringing a child into this world and not being in their life.. "I…."
"Blake, the succubus race is highly skilled in other things besides sex." Lillia cut in before Blake could say anything. "They were highly skilled assassins who have even assassinated an ancient."
"Oh?" Blake knew where this was going as he pulled Lillia into his arms and said: "If you are okay with it, we can take them in."
"Mmm… Although the succubus race is strange as any bloodline they mate with will be filtered out until it's a pure succubus. So they will not be able to take on any of your traits. And with the curse, it is more than likely that only women will be born…. So I am not sure how long the bloodline can last for." Lillia sighed. The only way to keep the succubus bloodline going would be interbreeding. But she knew for a fact that would not be possible. Unless…. "Blake, let me say a few things before we give a final answer."
"Hmmm? What's up?" Blake asked.
"If we do this and help the succubus rebuild their bloodline, I can bypass their curse and allow them to give birth to males. But…. They would need to breed with their own kind. If they wish to keep the bloodline going with the curse…." Lillia could tell from Blake's expression he did not like that at all.
"Sorry, but I will ask you to refrain. As long as I am alive, the succubus bloodline will not die out. Maybe at some point, we may be able to figure out a way to break the curse on the children born and allow them to have normal relationships. Is the curse so bad that even you can't bypass it if the partner is male?"
"No, I can't. I do not know what curse they were put under. Necromancy is not one of my strong points, and I never cared to learn it at all and only know a few things about it. A necromancer would need to be the one to remove the curse, but they are all dead. I can only fiddle with a womb that has been injected with the genes of another succubus. Meaning you. While it may be only a few percent, I can use that few percent to alter whether it is a male or female. Although we do not know if male succubus can mate with women outside their race, we will have to wait and see." Lillia explained as she let out a long sigh.
"Lillia, why are you going so far for them?" Blake asked. He did not understand why Lillia was so willing to help these girls save their race.
"It's…. It is for two reasons. First, they can be said to be one of the reasons why we were able to push the dragonic back. While it was the humans who were able to grow in power quickly and have the unlimited potential to become anything that allowed us to officially win, the succubus made such a huge sacrifice at the start by killing one of the dragonic ancients that allowed humans time to rise up and fight back.
"You have no idea how scary an ancient is. They can do things beyond your imagination. With a simple thought, they could destroy this world if they so choose to. You can consider them to be beings closest to becoming gods. Their power is something that I would have to fight to the death in order to fight against all of them. Although, I hear they have weakened quite a bit from being in the void. But that was only because mana did not have the right environment to give them a place to grow stronger. And my strength has only recently increased as well. While I can probably fight one on one and win if they all attacked me, I am as good as dead. And you along with me due to your oath."
