On the mountain overlooking the Dark Forest, a castle stood at its peak.
Within it, hundreds of beautiful ladies, whom men would die for, chatted in excited voices.
"Have you heard? A group of Humans have suddenly appeared in the Dark Forest," a beautiful girl with light-brown hair said with sparkling eyes.
"Really? Do they have men?" A lady with long blonde hair and purple eyes asked.
"Yes! I used a scrying spell just now, and I saw a few handsome guys in the group," a lady with short pink hair stated. "All of them are quite young, I assume that they are still teenagers."
"Girl, it doesn't matter if they are teenagers," a mature-looking beauty said before adjusting the glasses on her face. "As long as they can make it stand, all is fair game."
"Right!"
"Hahaha! Should we also join in the fun? I'm sure if we ask the Satyrs, they'll give us the guys without any hassle."
All the beautiful ladies were getting excited at the prospect of milking the Human men dry of their essence, which was a very valuable source of nutrition for them.
"Wait! Have all of you forgotten something important?!" a pretty lady with long black hair shouted. "We have to inform Her Majesty about this first! If we don't, she might nag at us later for not telling her about this event!"
"Ah!"
"Right! We almost forgot to tell Her Majesty!"
"S-Someone, go to her room and tell her what is happening."
The Succubus then started pushing each other, as they pointed fingers as to who would become the sacrificial lamb that would wake their Queen and inform her about the uninvited guests that had appeared in their Domain.
"You bunch of babies!" a succubus, who seemed to be in her late teens, shouted. "Fine. I'll wake Her Majesty. I'll also call first dibs on the boys that we will get later!"
"W-Wait! No fair! I'll go!"
"No! I will go!"
"B*tch! I saw them first! I'll go!"
"Hag! Shut up! Although you look young, you're already several hundred years old. Can't you just give us youngsters the first taste first? You can get the leftovers after we are done!"
"Girl, you don't have filial piety. I'll get you for that!"
While everyone was starting to fight about who would wake their queen, the beautiful girl with light-brown hair snuck away and escaped the scene.
A few minutes later, she knocked on a majestic golden gate, which was the entrance to their Queen's Residence.
"Hng… what is it?" a voice that was as smooth as silk reached the girl's ears, making her cheeks redden. "I told you girls not to wake me up when I'm taking a nap."
"Y-Your Majesty, I apologize for waking you up, but something interesting happened," the beautiful girl with light-brown hair said. "Humans have appeared in the Dark Forest, and the Satyrs are currently playing with them. My Sisters and I are wondering if we can join in the fun. There are a few handsome guys in the group that have piqued our interest."
The beautiful girl with light-brown hair heard a creaking sound and the golden gate in front of her opened wide.
A moment later, a large canopy bed that could easily hold a hundred people appeared in her vision.
"Humans appeared in the Dark Forest?" a peerless beauty slowly propped herself up from the bed. "How did they manage to get here in the Abyss? I thought that the Gates to Elysium and Solais had all been sealed by the Dragons and the Elves. Did they somehow unseal one by accident?"
The beautiful girl with light-brown hair gazed at their Queen, who was said to be one of, if not the most, beautiful women in the Abyss.
Her long pink hair draped over her skin, which was as white as cream and radiant with life.
Her purple eyes which could easily captivate and charm any men and women she laid her eyes on seemed to glow faintly as she looked at the beautiful girl, who was kneeling on the floor and admiring her from a distance.
The two devil-like horns that were on top of her head didn't lessen her beauty. On the contrary, it highlighted them even more.
She was scantily dressed, allowing the one who woke her up to see her voluptuous body that would make even an innocent boy blush upon seeing her.
If Hereswith was the most beautiful woman that Lux had ever seen in his life, the moment he gazed at this peerless beauty, he would definitely say that the pink-haired lady was more beautiful than his foul-mouthed Grandmaster, Hereswith.
"Thank you for informing me about this," the Succubus Queen said with a smile. "They have some handsome boys in their group, right? I'll make sure to let you choose one of them before your other sisters have some fun."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the beautiful girl with light-brown hair smiled sweetly.
The Succubus Queen then waved her hand, and a projection appeared in front of her.
Since everything within her Domain, including the Dark Forest, was her territory, she could view them without even leaving her castle.
The moment that the battle appeared in front of her, a lazy smile appeared on her face.
"Looks like Ampelos and his kin got a bit lucky," the Succubus Queen commented. "There are many beauties in that group. I feel a little pity for those girls. In a few months, they will be giving birth to Satyrs."
The succubus girl giggled after hearing her Queen's comment.
The Satyrs were very lustful creatures, and their essence was very potent. A Human woman would not be able to prevent themselves from becoming pregnant once their womb was filled with their seed.
Only the Succubus, who specialized in consuming life force and essence, were safe from the Satyrs' bestial prowess.
Since they were neighbors, there were times when both sides would indulge in carnal activities together.
Only their Queen didn't partake in such orgies because she preferred to sleep in her room and visit Elysium and Solais through her Unique Ability, Dream Walking.
However, when her gaze landed on the Boar that was fighting against one of the Satyrs, her eyes widened a bit as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Is she perhaps…"
Back in the Dark Forest…
"You dumb boar! I'm not interested in you!" one of the Satyrs shouted in anger. "Go away!"
The Satyr kicked Cai and the boar flew like a kite whose string had been cut, slamming through countless trees in the forest, creating a path of destruction in her wake.
"Cai!" Iris shouted. "Astra! Go to her!"
The White Unicorn turned into a streak of lightning and flew to where Cai was last seen.
Iris then glared hatefully at the Satyr that attacked her best friend and waved her hand.
"Kill him!" Iris ordered and her Guardians moved as one in order to attack the Argonaut Ranked Satyr who had made their Master angry.
The Blue Dragon unleashed a Dragon Breath, forcing the Satyr to back away. However, the scorpion-like tail of Iris' Black Turtle stung its arm, making it cry out in pain.
Seeing this opening, the White Tiger lunged at his target with his jaws opened wide. However, before he could even bite the Satyr's neck, something hit the side of the White Tiger's body and sent him flying in the opposite direction.
"Hanz!" Iris shouted before hurtling a fireball at the Leader of the Satyrs, who casually brushed it aside as if it was just a small pebble that was thrown at him.
"Thanks, Boss!" the Argonaut-Ranked Satyr said as he looked at Ampelos gratefully.
"You're welcome," Ampelos chuckled. "Don't underestimate this girl. After all, I have set my sights on her."
"Boss, do you plan to make her your mate?"
"Yes. So I'll deal with her now. You just handle the small fries."
The Argonaut-Ranked Satyr bowed his head before charging at the Black Turtle that had snuck up and attacked it from behind.
Ampelos then walked towards Iris with a confident look on his face.
However, after taking a few steps forward, the Leader of the Satyrs stopped before dodging sideways.
A moment later, a Dragon Breath flew harmlessly past him, making Iris' expression turn grim.
"You're in the way," Ampelos said before flicking his hand and firing a dark ball of energy at the blue dragon who had fired a Dragon Breath in his direction.
The attack was too fast for the blue dragon to dodge, and it was hit in the chest, sending it crashing through the trees behind it.
"No! Lapiz!" Iris shouted after seeing that her Guardian Spirit was seriously injured by the Satyr's attack.
Currently, her Guardians were at the initial stages of the Argonaut Rank and were simply no match for an Empyrean-Ranked Alpha Monster.
"Although I don't want to do this, you leave me no choice," the Satyr then disappeared from where he stood and reappeared behind Iris.
He then lightly struck the back of her head, making the blue-haired beauty lose consciousness.
"One down," Ampelos smiled as he supported Iris' body, preventing her from falling to the ground. "Truly an exceptional beauty. I can't wait to have my fun with you later."
"Monster! Get your hands off of her!" Alicia shouted as she ran towards Ampelos with her sword blazing with white flames.
Due to Ampelos' ability to read minds, the plan that she had formulated was easily thwarted, and their formation fell into chaos. Because of this, Iris and Cai were forced to fight in the hopes that they would find an opening for them to escape.
Ampelos gave the Ranker, whose rank had degraded, a sneer and didn't move from his spot.
Alicia then swung her sword with the intention of cutting the Satyr's head off, but the latter only raised his hand and caught the sword in a firm grip.
"How?!" Alicia's eyes widened in shock because she couldn't believe that the Satyr was able to block her sword strike with such ease.
Although her rank had degraded, her weapon was a Legendary Weapon, which could easily slice a boulder in half.
"I'll tell you a little secret," Ampelos said with a devilish smile on his face. "My body cannot be cut by any weapon. Even this sword in your hands has no power over me. Although you are also an exceptional beauty, I can't be too greedy and hog all the girls for myself. Otherwise, my men will get angry. So do your best to satisfy them all, okay?"
The Leader of the Satyr then gave Alicia a light kick, sending her high up in the air.
A moment later, Alicia fell on the ground unconscious, making all the other Rankers despair. Originally, they still thought that they had a small chance of escaping, but after their initial plan failed, the group fell into chaos.
With their strongest fighter down for the count, there was no longer any way for them to resist the group of Satyrs, who had all of them completely surrounded.
