Chapter 22: Turning Red

What the hell? Bliss gazed up at the tentacle monster, her white bunny ears twitching. The succubus’s golden eyes were on the monster’s face. Said face was changing, turning red. Even its tentacles were changing to the new hue. Bliss stepped back and sweatdropped. It is actually turning red. Seriously?

“Now,” a puff of steam came from the now-red, one-eyed tentacle monster’s mouth, its red eye on Bliss, “take this.” It lashed its tentacles out, much more violently than before.

Bliss gritted her teeth and swung her shadowy claws, slashing apart a group of oncoming tentacles. This again. More tentacles came, faster and harder than before. They are getting faster. Her claws met red flesh, and the monster’s blood splattered forth as more of its tentacles met their demise. Her golden eyes widened as even more tentacles approached. She ducked beneath a tentacle, slashing it apart as she rose. Another tentacle came, landing a blow to her gut. She grimaced, the wind getting knocked out of her. Her black high-heels skidded across the light-blue, red-speckled stone floor. Her high-heels lifted up as she was knocked airborne.

“Bliss!” Lati’s long tongue flitted out, her crimson eyes going to her friend. During her moment of distraction, a tentacle thrust its way between her legs and then swung up. Intense pain emanated from her nether region, tears beading up in her eyes as she was knocked upwards. She landed hard on her ass, a gasp escaping her lips upon impact. She lay there, squeezing her legs together in agony as another tentacle came down.

“Lati!” Bliss rolled to her feet, dispelling her claws and avoiding a tentacle in the process. The bunny succubus spread her black succubi wings and then put them to use. She rushed to Lati, grabbing and saving the snake woman from the down-swinging tentacle. The two of them came to a stop with Bliss’s back against the wall and Lati’s big backside pressed up against her. “You OK?”

Lati squirmed a bit, pain still coming from between her legs. “I-I think so.” A soft, rosy tint set in on her cheeks. “Could you,” her tongue flitted out, “let go of my boob.”

Her boob? Bliss squeezed her right hand, feeling something delightfully soft. I-Is this? She felt more squirming from Lati. Oh hell. I am groping her right boob. Bliss’s face flushed bright red, and her golden eyes went down to the large, soft butt pressed up against her pelvis. Her face got even redder. She could see Lati’s black panties due to the bottom of the snake woman’s green mini-dress riding up.

“Seriously,” Lati looked back at Bliss, the soft blush on Lati’s face somehow intensifying Bliss’s blush even further, “stop groping me already.”

“Of course!” Bliss squeaked, her blush now reaching tomato tier. She removed her hand and stepped to the side, putting a little distance between the two of them. Both her bunny ears and tail twitched nervously, her raging blush finally beginning to fade.

“Still hurts.” Lati took a shaky step, her tongue flitting out. She pulled the bottom of her mini-dress down and then turned her crimson eyes to Bliss before smiling. “Thanks for the save. That tentacle monster really got me with that low blow.”

Bliss smiled back at the snake woman before turning her golden eyes back to the monster. Actually, what is that thing even doing? She glanced around the area, glanced at the many tentacles lashing about. It does not look like that tentacle monster is even trying to aim at this point. It just looks like mindless lashing.

“More dakka.” The tentacle monster narrowed its red eye. “Need more dakka.” It lashed out faster and harder, but it did not bother to aim.

“What is it doing?” Lati leaned towards Bliss and whispered, the snake woman’s tongue flitting out.

“I think …” Bliss leaned towards Lati and whispered back. “I think it is drunk on its own dakka.”

“Can we just, like, go around it then.” Lati glanced to the passage behind the monster, her tongue flitting out again.

“No.” Bliss glanced to the passage as well, her white bunny ears twitching. “I don’t think we can simply go around it.” She turned her golden eyes back to the dakka-drunk tentacle monster. Well, I guess now we know what it does when it turns red. How are we supposed to get to its head with all that tentacle dakka going on though?

Bliss summoned her shadow claws and glanced at them before looking back to the dakka-drunk monster. If I can just get close enough, then maybe … She sweatdropped, both her bunny ears and succubi wings drooping. How the hell am I going to get through that tentacle dakka though?

Her mind went back to the fight she had against the shadow stalker. That shadow stalker could both hide and move through shadows. Could I maybe do something similar? Her gaze went to a small area just behind the tentacle monster’s head, a small area that was free of its tentacle dakka. If I can make it to that point … Maybe my Shadow Step would work. She turned her golden eyes back to the lashing tentacles. A mere stealth buff is so not going to do it though, but … She thought back to the shadow stalker fight again. That shadow stalker was not merely buffing its stealth though. It almost killed me by outright redirecting its attack through the shadows. Maybe … She turned her attention back to the dakka gap behind the tentacle monster’s head.

Bliss readied her claws and then quite-literally vanished into the shadows. A moment later, she emerged from the shadows behind the tentacle monster’s head. It actually worked. She hovered silently in the air, a pleased smile on her face. It is quite lucky that this dungeon is as dim as it is. Now to finish this. She drew back her right hand and then slashed her right claws into the monster’s red, rubbery flesh.

The tentacle monster dropped its dakka and turned to face the floating bunny succubus. “You?! How did you …”

Bliss did not give the monster time to finish talking. She did another right-handed Shadow Claw and then followed with a left. The two Shadow Claws landed across the monster’s red eye, and it howled. Bliss flew up and then came slamming back down, heels first. Her heels slammed into the monster’s damaged eye, hammering it down into the lake’s surface with a mighty blow. Red water exploded upwards, the red droplets glistening along with the many life-force lights drifting about. The monster’s red flesh reverted to blue, and it began to sink lifelessly into the depths. Life-force lights drifted up from its defeated form, adding to the others. Bliss smiled, dispelled her shadow claws, and flew back to the lake bed.
