 Chapter 20: Wild at Heart, part XIV



   Cova's disgusting new body looked quite inflexible at first, but her
opponents quickly realized: This giant spider was ridiculously quick. 
Also, she could climb up the walls and even onto the ceiling.  The high
ceiling of the summoning-hall was so dark that no one but Iliv was able to
see her up there.  Iliv gave off some shots from her magical crossbow, but
it was virtually impossible to hit this incredibly agile target.  "Tch,
this bitch will be hard to defeat as long as she stays up there." Fel had
seen nothing but Iliv firing a few shots into the darkness.  "What the hell
is this damn spider anyway, Iliv?  A relative of yours?" Iliv gave her a
look as if Fel was the next target she was going to shoot.  "She's not! 
Her name is Alum-Umoth, an arachnid demon that likes to disguise herself."
Fel shuddered.  "No wonder!  If I was that fucking hideous, I would also
try to disguise myself..."

   The naked woman with the big sword looked up to the black ceiling for a
while, then her eyes fell on the summoner.  "Well, if she's staying up
there, I will get you then, Siria!" Senria charged at her sister, but
before she could reach her, a vast number of black threads shot down and
formed a cage around Siria.  Senria hit the black matter with her sword,
but it only clanked and didn't budge in the slightest.  "What the...  this
web is hard as steel!" They could hear the demon's voice from above. 
"Continue the summoning, mommy.  I will deal with these meddlers in the
meanwhile!" A moment later, Siria continued her eerie chant inside the
black web's cage.

   And then, Cova started attacking.  Razor sharp threads came shooting at
Senria, Iliv and Fel at such a high speed that even these skilled fighters
had a hard time evading them.  A single hit of these demonic threads could
mean death.  The threads remained taut after they hit the floor.  Their
other end probably stuck to the ceiling.  So these threads quickly formed a
chaotic net that spanned the whole room.  What made it even worse was that
these fine black threads were really hard to see in the dark room.  Running
around carelessly could quickly lead to one running into a thread and
getting cut in half.

   While doing her best to avoid getting hit, Iliv gave off a few more
shots at their enemy.  The spider-demon didn't seem to be fazed by it in
the slightest.  Fel looked over to her angrily.  "That's why I hate you
fucking long-distance fighters!" Without any warning, Fel wrested the torch
from Niu's hands and started charging towards the black cage in the middle
of the room.  Here the black web formed a smooth surface that wouldn't cut
into something that touched it.  Like Fel's foot.  It was the most stunning
display of Fel's athletic abilities that Niu had seen so far.  With insane
speed she climbed up the black cage all the way up to the ceiling- no, it
actually looked more like she ran vertically, using the momentum from her
run-up to defy gravity.

   Within a few heartbeats, Fel had reached the top.  Now she had to do
something or she would slide all the way down again.  Her torch's last
light fell on the demon Alum-Umoth before it went out from the airstream.
Fel dropped the torch and jumped.  She just managed to put her arms around
the demon's childlike upper body and hold onto her so that she wouldn't
fall down.  Alum-Umoth stared at her with hellish scarlet eyes.  "Did you
think that your weight would be enough to pull me down?  Although your
boobs and your ass might be quite heavy, you can't defeat me so easily."
Fel grinned.  "Nah, I wouldn't want you to go down.  I'll to get to know
you a little better now..." Holding onto the demon with her left hand, Fel
swiftly pulled a dagger from her belt and drove it into the little girl's
stomach.  Cova gasped.

   Fel cut the girl's front side open from the belly-button to her ribcage.
Still only holding onto Alum-Umoth's neck with her left hand, she continued
to dig into the demon's belly with her dagger.  "Although I can't see
anything, it seems like you're just like a human in here!  Here we have
some guts!  Your mother seems to be really into those for some reason..."
The demon was shaking all over while Fel was eviscerating her.  But she
didn't speak a word.  Fel laughed out.  "There's more stuff in here!  Here
we have a kidney!  This must be your spleen..." Fel cut out these organs
and let them fall to the ground.  Senria and Iliv watched and listened in
disbelief while the demon's blood-smeared body parts came falling down.

   "Found something!" Fel excised the things she had discovered and kept it
in her hand.  The demon's heart was still beating after being ripped out of
her chest.  But it was strangely cold.  Fel knew how a freshly extracted
heart usually felt like.  She pulled herself up and whispered into Cova's
ear: "Hey.  Tell me if this is true: I heard that you demons really care
about this part.  It seems like you can't return to hell without it.  That
you have to wander the mortal realm in all eternity in search for what you
have lost..." The demon's trembling had increased considerably.  Was it the
pain she felt?  Or was she close to blowing up?  Fel's sadistic words were
interrupted by Alum-Umoth shouting in a voice that didn't sound anything
like a child anymore: "Give that back!!!"
An eruption followed.  Out of Cova's gaping stomach came a red arm and
out of this red arm's flesh came another arm and another and another... 
The last arm grabbed Fel's neck and held her in mid-air.  Fel just managed
to bring her left hand between the red fingers and her neck so that it
wouldn't be snapped immediately.  Still, the red arm's grip was incredibly
strong and would strangle her before long.  The demon's red eyes glared at
her in immortal rage.  "Give it back to me!" Fel managed to grin weakly. 
"What are you talking about?  The thing over here?" She let the beating
heart bounce in her right hand.  "I was planning to eat that, you know..."
Fel gathered her strength and shouted as loudly as her squeezed throat
permitted: "Will you finally do something about this, you fucking lazy
imp-girl?"
Iliv didn't need to be told.  She already had started the preparations
for her attack.  Within moments, the walls were covered in confusing
patterns of white light.  Alum-Umoth immediately realized that hellish
power was being invoked, but she had no way of defending herself against
it. Fel swung her body back and forth to gain some momentum.  Two little
green demons appeared out of nowhere and pointed their assholes at the
giant spider.  "Cover your ears, human." Iliv muttered to Senria while she
took aim with her crossbow.  Then three thick streams of lightning hit
Alum-Umoth in rapid succession- one out of each of the demon-girl's asses
and one from Iliv's crossbow.  The thunder's noise was so loud that the
whole summoning-hall shook.  But it was only the prelude to the explosion
that followed.  All of Alum-Umoth's eight spider legs were ripped off her
body.  Same for the demonic red arms that were holding Fel.  It was just in
the moment that Fel was swinging her body back.  She landed with her feet

on the surface of the black cage and from there she slid down to the floor.

   But something reached the ground before she did.  When Alum-Umoth's
smashed body came falling down, Senria knew that it was her turn to act. 
While the spider-demon fell down, she jumped and executed a breathtaking
blow upwards.  "Cleaver of the fallen goddess!" she screamed out while her
huge blade cut Alum-Umoth's spider body in two halves.  Viscous black blood
splattered out of the demon's wounds when her parts hit the floor.

   Her human upper body looked horrible.  Most of its skin had been ripped
off by the explosion.  Raw flesh and bones could be seen, as well as the
inside of her stomach.  Still, it seemed to be somewhat alive.  Cova looked
at Fel as her slayer was walking up to her.  Her voice was not more than a
little whisper.  "Please...  give it back...  I will do everything...  I'll
be your slave in all eternity..." Fel gave her a disdainful look as she was
rubbing her hurting neck.  "You're way too ugly to be my slave.  Also, I
told you: I'm going to eat this." With these words she bit a big junk out
of the raw heart.  The demon let out a pained scream that was so loud that
the whole room was shaking again.  Niu already knew how a dying demon's
screams sounded like, so she covered her ears in time.  What came through
still made the blood freeze in her veins.

   Fel didn't seem to be fazed by it at all.  She chewed on the demon's
heart for a while, swallowed it and took another bite out of it.  Then she
threw the rest of it over to Iliv.  "You can finish it." Iliv greedily
drove her pointed teeth into the heart.  For her, it meant absorbing the
demon's powers.  It didn't take her more than a few seconds to devour the
whole thing.  Senria looked at them in disbelief and disgust while
Alum-Umoth's screams finally died down.  She had to wonder, who really were
the demons here?

   Fel wiped the dead demon's blood off her hands, then her eyes fell on
Senria.  "Hey, I like your style, nudist sword-girl!" She walked up to
Senria and immediately put her arms around her, letting her hands rest on
Senria's bare ass.  "Hm, your butt is cold.  You know I could warm it up
for you..." Senria was simply speechless.  That this insane woman would
start flirting with her so shamelessly right after defeating this horrible
demon...  just what was wrong with this person?  And why was Senria getting
semi-stiff right now?

   Both their thoughts and also those of Iliv who was still licking her
lips were interrupted by Niu.  "Isn't there something wrong with this? 
Siria has stopped her incantation!" Everyone looked over to the black cage.
Senria gasped.  "But we still heard her right before you shot the demon! 
Could this mean that she..." ...  finished her summoning?  Oh, yes.

   It became apparent when the black cage melted away and flames came out
from inside.  And a moment later, the whole room was brightly lit by fire
that covered most of its floor in strange patterns.  In its center was a
small circle that wasn't aflame.  And there she stood.  The demon that
Siria had been summoning in the meanwhile.  She was even taller than Fel
and, of course, completely naked.  Her unbelievable boobs were even bigger
than those of the Succubus Niu had met.  Which means they were simply
gigantic.  A normal human being wouldn't even be able to stand upright with
such incredibly heavy breasts.  Her flaccid cock reached down all the way
to the demon's knees.  There was no way she would be able to stick that
inside anyone- except for another demon maybe.  And her black wings... 
they were monstrous.  With a wingspan of about ten meters they were several
times the size of the rest of her body.  Her face was beautiful, noble
even- if that term could ever apply to a creature from hell.  Out of her
straight black hair came two long curled horns.

   And right next to her stood Siria.  She had just taken off her mask and
was laughing maniacally.  Siria was obviously exhausted from the long
incantation, but it had paid off in the end.  "Now I will get back at
you... Killing my Succubus and now also killing Cova!  But this is a being
that you can't kill!" She looked at her sister.  "This is your end,
Senria!" The freshly summoned demon gave Siria an annoyed look.  Her low
hoarse voice sent shivers down the summoner's spine.  "I have no idea what
you're talking about, mortal.  But your voice is getting on my nerves..."
She took Siria's right upper arm and broke it just as if she was breaking a
twig.  The broken bone painfully stuck out of her skin.  Before Siria could
even scream, the demon also broke her lower arm, disjointed her elbow and
then gave it a pull, ripping off most of Siria's arm.  She did it with such
ease as if she was handling a toothpick and not a being of flesh and bone.
The maimed girl with the black braids went down screaming.  She
bewilderedly looked at her missing arm, then at the majestic demon. 
"But... but I summoned you!  You...  you have to obey me!"

   The demon raised her eyebrow.  She obviously didn't like that. 
"Impudent little..." Normally, she would have taken her time to torture
this insolent piece of shit to death.  But right now she was in a hurry. 
So she contented herself with doing to Siria's remaining limbs what she had
done to her arm.  It didn't even take half a minute.  "Just so you know.  I
don't give a shit about how or why you summoned me.  To me, you're just
a... wait, I might actually give a shit!" The demon turned around and
heaved her big round ass over what remained of Siria's body.  And then she
dumped a pile of hellish shit on her.  It was surreal.  There was no way
that this mass of shit once had been inside this demon.  There was no way
it could fit.  This feces had come right from the depths of hell.  Siria
was literally buried underneath them.  Only her braids still stuck out of
this mound of shit.

   After performing this unreal act of humiliation, the demon looked over
the remaining people in the room.  "None of you is the blessed child.  I
have no business with you." She flapped her gigantic wings and ascended
towards the ceiling.  When she reached it, she ripped through it with a
fiery explosion.  Debris came raining down over the whole room.  After she
had burst through, one could see the stars through the hole in the ceiling.
There she went, flying through the night sky.

   Fel and Iliv looked after her, then they looked at each other.  Fel
muttered: "That was..." "...Salanya herself." Iliv completed her sentence.
Fel glared at her.  "I don't care what that bitch's name is!  Can you think
of the bounty we will get for her?" Iliv was somewhat flabbergasted.  "You
really think about fighting this beast?" But Fel was already sprinting
away, trying her best to keep up with the winged devil.  Iliv looked after
her for a few moments, then she started running after her.  "Hey!  Wait for
me, you crazy..." Then they both were gone.  Niu wondered what ever had
happened to Fel's decision to quit the bounty hunting business...
Senria walked over to the pile of demonic shit that covered her sister.
Then she grabbed the black braids and pulled her out.  Siria was coughing
and panting, but she was still alive.  Although, covered in shit and
missing both her arms and legs.  Still holding her sister's braids, Senria
pulled her along through the narrow path that wasn't covered in flames. 
There wasn't any way in which Siria could have defended herself against

this treatment.

   Then Senria stood in front of Niu.  The girl hadn't really moved ever
since the fight against Cova had begun.  She considered it a miracle that
she was still alive after all of this.  Senria gave her a very warm smile.
She was still naked, of course.  In the right hand, she held her giant
sword, the other one dragged her mutilated sister along.  "This is where we
part, Niu.  There are urgent matters I have to look after right away.  I
will entrust you with taking care of Keira's babies and the blue girl.  I'm
sure you will find a good place for them to live." Niu's bottom lip was
shaking.  She really wanted to press her face against Senria's big naked
breasts and cry right now.  But she had to be strong.  She nodded.  "I
will."

   Her eyes fell on Siria's shit-covered body.  When she had met this
terrible person for the first time, Niu never would have guessed that she
would end up this way.  "I guess...  you must be happy that your sister got
her punishment in the end." Senria grimly looked at Niu.  "Punishment?  No,
this is not her punishment.  Punishment will be when I'm in the dungeon
with this naughty girl.  And when I torture her day after day, until
there's nothing left of her to torture.  You hear me, Siria?  You still
have your boobs, your cock and your ass left.  Those will receive some very
special attention from me!" Siria was crying now.  Niu felt that this was a
pretty harsh decision- but who was she to judge?

   "Was Siria like...  the black sheep of your family?" Senria looked at
Niu as if she hadn't understood what Niu was trying to say.  Then she
laughed out loudly.  "Oh, that's how you think it is!  No, if anyone's a
black sheep in our family, then it's actually me.  Our family has a long
tradition of practicing black magic, summoning demons and even making pacts
with hell.  But I'm well on the way to ending this tradition!  I have
already hunted down both our mothers, two of my sisters and several aunts."
Niu couldn't believe what she was hearing.  "Have you also..." Senria
nodded proudly.  "Punished them for their deeds, yes.  Tortured them for a
long time before executing them." Niu was shattered.  She never had had a
family of her own and this person had virtually murdered her own.  Senria
began walking away.  "Don't think badly of me, Niu.  This world is better
off without my family."

   Niu continued to stare into the flames for a while, then she turned
around and looked after Senria.  Tears were running over her face.  "I
know...  I know you're a true heroine, Senria!  Farewell!"
