Bliss’s high-heels lightly tapped on the stone floor as she walked down the passage. Lati walked in front of her, the snake woman’s own high-heels lightly tapping upon the stone floor as well. Bliss turned her golden eyes to the wall. It is getting redder. The red speckling of the stone was becoming more prominent as they walked. It is actually more red than blue now.

The life-force lights drifted around her as she continued forward. She shifted her eyes to Lati, watching the snake woman walk for a moment before shifting her gaze further ahead. “Getting quite a bit redder, isn’t it?”

“It is.” Lati glanced back, her long tongue flitting out. “Maybe we are getting close to our cut.” Her voice was pleasant and chipper. Clearly, her mood was good.

Bliss smiled at Lati and then turned her attention back to the stone. Actually, the stone is completely red now, not a hint of blue to it. She shivered, her white bunny ears twitching a bit.

“Oh. Look. The exit.” Lati pointed ahead, her arm outstretched.

Bliss’s golden eyes went to where the snake woman was pointing. Up ahead, the now-red passage definitely looked like it opened up. The tapping of the pair’s high-heels picked up pace as they made their way to the passage’s end. In time, the tapping fell silent. The pair stood side-by-side, having reached the end of the passage.

Bliss blinked, a sea of red reflecting in her eyes. What the hell is this? She could see no end to the red sea. Life-force lights floated above the still water, granting it a kind of beauty. This beauty, though, was odd, almost horrifying even. What is this feeling? A quiver started in her feet and slowly snaked its way throughout her form. Her ears twitched as the quiver reached them.

She turned her golden eyes to Lati. “You feeling OK? Something feels … wrong about this place.”

Lati clasped her hands together and uneasily shifted her weight from one leg to the other. “I-I am fine. Just a little weirded out by this place.” She pointed to a red, stone path leading out over the sea. “Let’s go get our cut.” Her tongue flitted out.

Why does this place feel so wrong? Bliss looked out over the red sea, and her bunny ears twitched again. It is like my body is telling me to turn around and run, but … Her golden eyes went to Lati, and the bunny succubus smiled. She really wants to get our cut. Bliss shifted her gaze to the red, stone path leading out over the red sea. I kind of want to continue on too.

Bliss looked to Lati, her golden eyes meeting Lati’s crimson. “Let’s go get our cut.” Bliss smiled, her bunny ears twitching cutely, and Lati smiled back. The tapping of their high-heels recommenced as the pair started down the path over the red sea.

Bliss walked at Lati’s left as the pair headed down the path. She glanced to the snake woman before shifting her gaze to the red water to the left of the path. The water was perfectly still. The only sound was the light tapping of her and Lati’s high-heels. She shifted her gaze ahead but could still see no end to the red, stone path. I hope this path actually leads somewhere.

Her bunny ears twitched as a sloshing sound got her attention. She and Lati both stopped. Her golden eyes went down to the red water. Said red water was moving, sloshing about. Is something coming? Please don’t be another tentacle monster. She glanced further down the path and then whence she came. I cannot see either end currently. Just how long is this damn path.

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

The sloshing intensified and a hand burst forth just a tad further down the path. Something with green skin and a masculine build, something that Bliss recognized, clawed its way up onto the red, stone path. It rose to its feet and turned its large-mouthed, eyeless face to the two demonic women.

An eyeless stalker. Bliss glanced at the sloshing water and then back to the monster. It is an ambush. Tendrils of black formed around her digits as she manifested her shadow claws. Smirking, she rushed the eyeless stalker and cut it down with a right-handed slash. The monster fell lifelessly into the red sea, a few more life-force lights floating up.

Bliss glanced nervously at the sloshing water as more clawed hands began reaching up. She looked to Lati, her bunny ears twitching. “Run for it. I will keep them busy.”

“You sure you don’t need help.” Lati sweatdropped, the green, clawed hands reaching up from the water reflecting in her beautiful, crimson eyes.

“I will buy you time to get distance and then use my wings to catch up.” Bliss fluttered her black succubi wings to emphasize her plan.

Lati nodded. “Be careful.” Her tongue flitted out, and she turned to run. The tapping of her black high-heels faded as they grew distant.

So that just leaves me and them. Wait. Is that … A blush spread across Bliss’s face as another eyeless stalker pulled itself up to the red, stone path. Are those … Bliss’s face got a little redder as her golden eyes focused on two mounds, two large mounds, on the eyeless stalker’s chest. Big boobs? It has big boobs? Well, they are not as big as mine, but still … Bliss’s eyes moved down. And it has a bigger butt than me.

The female eyeless stalker turned to face Bliss. Like the others, it wore no clothes. It leaned forward and screeched, dribbles of saliva flying from its large, gaping mouth. Its feminine curves bounced as it ran towards the bunny succubus. Its right hand was pulled back and ready to strike.

Bliss stepped back, narrowly avoiding the female monster’s slash. She then answered with her own. The busty eyeless stalker collapsed into a lifeless heap, life-force lights drifting up from its corpse. So there are female eyeless stalkers too. Bliss’s cheeks were still tinged in red. She kicked the defeated eyeless stalker into the red sea.

She turned her golden eyes to the other eyeless stalkers pulling themselves up onto the red, stone path. This really is kind of too much. A mix of both male and female eyeless stalkers began pouring onto the path on both sides of Bliss. Her bunny ears twitched, and she glanced to the fleeing form of Lati. Well, that is enough of that. Time to go airborne. She crouched down, spread her black succubi wings, and then took to the air. She glanced back at the mass of eyeless stalkers as she fled them. Good thing I can, in fact, fly.

Bliss touched down gracefully beside Lati, and the snake woman came to a stop. The two of them turned around to look at the eyeless stalkers. Said eyeless stalkers were not pursuing them, instead opting to go back into the red water.

“I guess they gave up.” Lati’s long tongue flitted out. She watched as the eyeless stalkers vanished into the water.

“I guess so.” Bliss sweatdropped, her bunny ears twitching cutely. It kind of feels like we moved outside of their attack zone or something.

Bliss and Lati looked to one another, golden eyes meeting crimson, and both succubus and snake woman smiled. They then turned to look further down the red, stone path. After sharing another glance to one another, the pair returned to walking down said path.
