Sanguine Paradise

∼ Day 19 ∼

Laying on her back with a thin layer of perspiration on her forehead, Mia cupped the small crimson core with both her small hands. With a slight scrunch of her cute little nose, as if she focussed on something, the red crystal bedded in her petite hands began dissolving into her very skin itself. The process was seemingly identical to my own assimilation of the lesser crimson core seeing that her pain-filled expression, from the forced evolution, immediately eased up and tension left her body.

Replacing the white hue of evolution, her entire body seemed to turn more vibrant, shedding the pale complexion she had just had a few seconds before. Long tendrils of red glowing veins started appearing from her hands and snaked up her arms reminding me of my own familiar experience. As the crimson veins traveled through her body, she couldn't help but let out a moan of pleasure. But I couldn't blame her, as I personally had first-hand experience of just what it felt like to assimilate with a crimson core.

It basically was like pure ecstasy and unending streams of liquified life being injected directly into your veins. Following the same procedure, the veins culminated in the center of her being, just below her navel, and assimilated into a soft glowing ball of undulating mana. She writhed in pleasure as the veins continuously snaked around her body and subtly transformed it to better adjust it for the use of mana and magic.

Once the glow of mana had faded, she slumped back to the ground with a drunken expression now plastered on her cute face, which caused a knowing smirk to appear on my face. But it slowly disappeared as the white hue of her forced evolution once again took hold of her mind and body, with the pain that inevitably followed.

"Mia, everything went okay - right?" - Me

While everything looked to have gone just fine, I couldn't help but feel the constant and incessant pang of worry, of having someone dear to me undergo an experience that could be potentially dangerous, clutching the back of my mind, so I wanted to make sure.

"Y-yes. It says now that I have to evolve -ah, for the a-assimilation to be completed... -ouch" - Mia

Caressing Mia's cheek lovingly, I give her a reassuring smile.

"Okay, Mia. I will keep you safe as you evolve, you don't need to worry about a thing." - Me

With a smile, she looked up at my earnest gaze.

"But Mia, I must warn you. The evolution will hurt like nothing you've ever experienced. You have to make the right choice for yourself, and don't be fooled if a path promises you easy power." - Me

Nodding resolutely, her eyes unfocused as she began reading through her options. While she was doing that, I looked around to take stock of our carnage-ridden surroundings. While no more ghouls had presented themselves, I had no idea if there were more down the tunnels, lurking in the darkness. For all I know, another horde of them could come rushing here again after smelling the odors of blood and death that now saturated the cave.

Hundreds of dismembered and bloodied corpses were strewn about the cave. Not even a single spot of unblemished rocky ground could be seen as blood, viscera, and limbs covered everything. Having moved over to one of the tunnels, I inspected it. It seemed to be mostly held up by rock and dirt which encourage the idea that had sprouted in my mind. Suddenly launching a punch at the arch of the tunnel, large chunks of rocks and dirt fell off. While it was rather sturdy, I believed I should be able to collapse the entrance to the tunnels.

It only took me eight minutes to collapse each tunnel entrance to my pleasant surprise. But I did end having to use healing surge due to the recessive damage I had done to my hands and fists in the process. Looking over to the Mia who was still laying on the ground, I saw that she yet hadn't chosen an evolution yet. So I quickly accompanied her by her side.

Taking her hand in mine, I waited for her to make her decision. But it didn't take long before her gaze refocused and the white light of her evolution started intensifying. I placed a kiss on her forehead when I saw her uncertain expression looking up at me which elicited a weak but happy smile on the dainty hobgoblin girl.

"It's going to be okay." - Me

Clutching my hand tighter, she waits for the evolution to begin. To my surprise, the first thing to leave her mouth was nothing like I had expected. It wasn't a scream or a groan of pain, but instead;

She.... moaned?

Slowly, her cheeks began to burn a flushed pink, with the tips of her ears becoming tinged with red, and her breath became irregular. I could only look on in stunned befuddlement at the ever more stimulated hobgoblin girl in front me writhing in seemingly lustful pleasure. By each passing second, she seemed to become even hornier. She couldn't help it anymore as she let out a loud moan that she had so desperately held in.

Suddenly her closed eyes opened wide, and locked eyes with me, her gaze turned feral. The low purr that rumbled in her chest and the pure lust reflected in her eyes as she looked at me made my body helplessly respond in turn. I wasn't sure what, but at that moment something also began stirring deep inside me. That feeling that had been slowly culminating inside of me ever since I had first taken Mia, which I couldn't figure out what it was, once again started burning deep in my chest as a ball of surging emotions.

As this feeling kept increasing, I slowly began to understand it more; bit by bit. Moving over the writhing form of Mia, with her hungry gaze locked fast with my own, I begin unclothing her to reveal smooth skin that had hidden itself beneath the layers of leather and cloth. Seething in burning desire, I give up on the slow approach and simply rip off one of the buckles I only had managed to get half-open before my impatience got the better of me. With her now naked upper body, I relish in the sight as the moonlight above shone down and glistened on her bloodstained body.

Letting a teasing tongue flicker over a small and hard nipple as I groped her tight folds covered by a thin piece of cloth, she moaned hoarsely. Moving up, I plant a passionate kiss on her lips, as our tongues explore each other. In the heated moment, I simply rip open the cloth and leather hiding her nether region.

I only let a finger crest the folds of her tight and wet entrance before revealing my hard member. While kissing her I reposition myself, and suddenly thrust inside her tight tunnel, moaning deeply into my mouth as I enter split her tight folds. Getting up from our passionate kiss, I sit on the haunches of knees and grip the thighs splayed open and over mine. Moving back, I thrust back into her. As I witnessed her blood-stained body beneath me, I couldn't help but intensify the speed of my thrusts inside her.

The carnal desire that encapsulated my entire being inexplicably kept increasing unceasingly. Only magnified upon seeing the raw savagery of the scene. Surrounded by corpses and blood, bathed in moonlight, we made love like no other. Feral grunts and moans sounded out, reflecting off the cave walls and echoing out into the night.

She now rode on top of me, grinding across my crotch with an arched back, with moonlight shining down on her small breasts and toned stomach. Before my very eyes, she began to change as her moans intensified. Grinding ever faster, her groans of pleasure sounded out as I began to feel a feral rumble myself, culminating deep within my chest as we both were nearing our climax.

Meeting her rhythm perfectly, I grabbed her thighs and pressed myself as deep inside of her as I could. At the apex of our wild throes of carnal desires, we both simultaneously let out a feral howl of pleasure as we climax in wild abandon. At this time, the feeling of burning intensity that resided within my chest was like a raging sun. At just the zenith of my climax, I could finally recognize the feeling as what it truly was.

It wasn't merely lust or love. It was like a combination of all the emotions of affection and want, combined into one singular burning desire. Accompanied by this desire was a single thought.

She was mine.

∼ Sanguine Lord's decree ∼

[The first wife of the lord of blood has been inaugurated]

[All hail, Mia the Ruby Eyed Sorceress!]

Completing her evolution at that moment, with the white hue resided back into her figure, I become utterly stunned at the sight before me. Sitting on top of me, sat a naked and stunning beauty beyond mortal compare. She was easily the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on, even easily eclipsing Lily's devious beauty. But I could also instantly recognize her as being Mia.

She hadn't grown taller, other than a few centimeters, and her proportions were relatively the same. But her curves seemed more defined, and her skin seemed to be like that of a precious treasure as it glinted in the moonlight. Currently, my member was engulfed between the tight folds of a petite blue-skinned Mia with long wavy silver-white and silky hair flowing all the way down to her hips. Well, she wasn't exactly blue. Her skin was more of an obsidian black with a light blue gradient.

Her face had turned more angular and feminine, to the point of seeming angelic. She wasn't like Lily who was hot and charming, instead sporting an overwhelming sense of beauty and cuteness. What truly stole my attention about her features were her eyes, ears, and hair which truly drew me in.

The ruby eyes that previously adorned her cute little hobgoblin face, had now turned even more mystical and mesmerizing. It was like her crystal-like eyes had turned into moats of swirling molten ruby. Like how molten silver looked like, instead just being a sanguine red with the glimmer of crimson. I was sure If I wasn't careful, I would become lost in them.

Before she had the ears of a hobgoblin. Exactly like that of an elf that you would find in any story, small and pointy. But now those ears had elongated into long and stream-lined ears that drooped slightly at their tips, just like how night elves had been described in fantasy and games. But I could barely keep my eyes off them as they simply added to her exoticness and beauty.

Lastly, her hair. The long waves of silver-white hair were like silk as they grazed my hands and forearms laying on her thighs. Her silver hair contrasted perfectly with her obsidian blue skin and created a sight that could only be portrayed in fantasy. With her ruby eyes on top of that, she had become like a beauty only found in the dreams and imagination of men.

Coming down from the ecstasy of her climax, she finally notices the deep and awe-filled gaze of my eyes roaming her body. Instantly, she turns bright red and becomes shy as she tries pathetically to hide the blush coloring her cheek by looking away.

Ah- yeah, that's definitely Mia...

I raise my upper body to meet her insecure gaze. Cupping her blushing cheeks, I kiss her deeply.

"You're the most beautiful girl, I've ever seen. I'm lucky to call you mine." - Me

With a radiant smile stretching across her oh-so-beautiful face, and tears threatening to spill out from the corners of her eyes, she embraces me.

"M-master!" - Mia
