When the knight had woken up from his slumber in Jiji's arms, he started exploring back the way he came, and into the fog canyon again.
The fog canyon held many strange creatures, including jellyfish that seemed to explode the moment that he would try to attack them, so he ignored them for now.
The knight wondered if he could even find Cornifer in a place like this, wandering aimlessly, thinking of the old bug's humming.
He saw a sign that led to a bank of sorts, so curious as he was, he started following the sign towards the room.
The supposed bank was just a stand though, with a clerk attending it.
"Hello there dearie, I was about to close up shop and run, till you came along. I provide a banking service if you're interested. Losing one's geo is a terrible thing, and it's so much more likely if you carry it about on yourself. My vault is much more secure. In all my time as a banker, I've never lost a single geo! Maybe you'd consider opening an account?" Millibele, at least it said so on the desk, said.
The knight thought about it, and handed over a hundred geo to start his bank account.
"You're a smart one. Next time some dreadful beastie gets the best of you, you'll be glad to know your geo's safe within my shel- err… My vault. Now let's do some banking" Millibele said as the knight started taking geos out of his pocket.
The knight gave her half of his earnings, a total of 2500 geo, before leaving her to continue exploring.
As he continued exploring the fog canyon, he came upon a friendly giraffe-like bug called Willoh.
"Oh! Come in search of treats have you? I chanced upon a unique little fungus right above us. I've found it only in this station and the taste is just divine" Willoh said as she continued eating.
"^_^" The knight was glad to at least meet someone friendly this deep underground who was not in it for any kind of business.
The knight bid farewell to Willo as he kept walking the canyon.
Sure enough he found himself in the fungal wastes again, trying to navigate past the spores and mushrooms that inhabited this place.
He encountered many enemies, which were mostly mushroom based, and even two twin mushrooms that seemed hell bent on killing him, but he ultimately came out victorious.
As he went deeper however, he started encountering more insects of the mantis variety, who were a challenge with their superior range and flying abilities.
As he explored the even further, he eventually encountered a village for the mantis, which he assumed he wasn't welcome in.
He fought his way in, trying to find something that could help him with his efforts with exploring other areas. This place was getting the better of his ability to reach different heights, and if he didn't do something about it, he won't be able to progress anymore.
The mantises all kept attacking the knight, while he kept dodging and attacking them.
Reaching the last unexplored area of the village, the knight picked up a mantis claw, which somehow gave him the ability to start climbing up on walls.
With the newfound ability, the knight started to leave when the mantises blocked his path.
As soon as he drew his nail however, the knight saw that they weren't acting offensively anymore, and were instead bowing down to him.
"^_^" The knight was glad that he didn't have to fight them anymore, knowing that they hadn't lost their minds to the corruption yet.
The knight continued downwards, managing to press switches he hadn't been able to reach before thanks to the mantis claw.
He eventually managed to reach the city of tears and saw a large tablet similar to the large stones that had messages etched across them.
The gates have been sealed
None shall enter
None shall leave
After reading the tablet, the knight continued walking and encountered a familiar face.
It was Quirrel, the traveling swordswoman, sitting on a bench.
"The capital lies before us my friend. What a somber place it seems, and one that holds answers to many mysteries. I too have felt the pull of this place, though now I sit before it, I now find myself hesitant to descend. Is it fear I wonder? Or something else that holds me back? Be careful, I hear there's someone around here searching for you, take caution little knight" Quirrel bid him farewell as she kept sitting on the bench.
"0_0" The knight felt bewildered, who would want to kill him? Did he wrong someone so much that they hate him like that.
The knight took heed of Quirrel's words and started to explore further, wondering who could want him dead.
The knight soon found a home in the city of tears. It was smaller than the other houses he saw however, wondering who this could belong to that they live in a beautiful place but not even taking the time to move into somewhere larger. He entered to find a bug hammering away at a nail.
"Have you brought me another nail to be honed? Leave it on the ground and return later, if you're still breathing. Hm? Oh I thought you were someone else. After a nailsmith are you? Well you've found one, I'm not much for talk, but if it's a nail that needs repair, then you've come to the right bug. Your own nail is in quite a sorry state. It's obviously, not one of mine. Still, anything can be refined with enough effort and skill, even that broken blade. If you'd like, I can reforge your nail. It'll make the blade far more deadly" The nailsmith offered.
"._." The knight looked down at his nail, realizing how dull it looked. Truth be told, this nail was never given to him or made at all, he just found it lying on the ground one day and decided to use it.
The knight gave 250 geo and his nail to the nailsmith, who began hammering away at it.
Upon finishing it, the nail looked brand new, looking like it could cut into anything even.
"There we go, the reforging is complete. I've honed your nail's edge. You'll find it stronger than it used to be. Head out there and test its strength against your foes" The nailsmith said as he handed the nail back.
"^_^" The knight happily took the nail, and was more than excited to use it again. It felt so light, and the way it swung in the air now feels faster than before with how sharp it was.
The knight went outside and slew several bugs that had gotten in his way, defeating them with fewer swings with his nail now that it was better.
As he traveled along, he noticed a large fountain, and stopped to look at the statues around it. It seemed so beautiful, it almost seemed like he wanted to live here, if there were no bugs that wanted to kill him that is.
As the knight looked at the fountain, a large thud could be heard as he turned around abruptly, frightened at the heavy thudding he heard.
"I… Finally… Found you… Huff…!" Hornet said as she swung a sack on the ground right in front of the knight.
The sack seemed to be made from her silk, but as Hornet swung the sack, the silk gave in and ripped open, and what was inside shocked the knight.
The sack spilled with lots of bugs… Bugs she had slain… Bugs that he couldn't imagine were far more than he could have slain right after he and her had parted.
He could see guts, and the brutality she exhibited upon them.
"Impressive isn't it? Feel like bowing down to me now?" Hornet said as she caught her breath.
The knight stood paralyzed, wondering what she had intended to do with all of these… Much less showing them off.
"Too stunned to speak aren't you? See? I'm far stronger than you can ever hope to beat me" Hornet boasted, placing her hands on her hips as she let go of the sack and let all the corrupted bugs' guts and bodies spill out.
The knight thought about Quirrel's words, someone was out to get him… Was she referring to Hornet? No… It can't be… But if she was referring to him… Then he should run away now! He never thought his dream girl was an absolute psychopath!
Hornet thought that the knight was clearly inspired and admiring her, while at the same time fearing her strength.
"That's right, I've got you where I want you little ghost. If you submit to me, I might make the rest of your days painless… And we could spend as much time in my room as much as possible~" Hornet said as she began getting wet from the thought that this little gremlin would be her sex toy the whole time.
The knight however, mistook it as her wanting to play with his dead body, just like these bugs had been when she was killing them… Or worse… Torturing them!
"⸜(ّᶿധّᶿ)⸝" The knight ran away from the opposite direction, as far away as he could as he ran past all the bugs wanting to kill him.
"Hey wait! You… Grrrr… What did I do wrong? This book said that my kind courts others when you give them a gift of food wrapped in silk!" Hornet said as he skimmed over the book of spider mating customs again.
The knight ran all the way back to the fungal wastes where the mantises were, perhaps they could give him protection?
The knight ran and ran until he fell from a platform all the way down, landing in front of the mantis lords.
"Well well well, we heard of an intruder who managed to snag the mantis claw. Someone who steals something so sacred and not even staying to justify themselves is a threat to our culture" The eldest sister said as she cracked her knuckles.
"We should punish him by dismembering his limbs!" The middle sister said as she felt bloodthirsty seeing the knight walk in on their territory.
"I wonder how long he'll last, dear sisters. We should go easy on him to see how good he fights, I'll go first :D" The youngest sister declared.
The knight felt frightened, not only was Hornet going to kill him, but these mantis ladies as well.
The knight made a run for it, but then he was trapped in a cage arena with two spike pits on either side of it.
"0_0" The knight knew he was stuck as the youngest mantis lord jumped down and began to attack, thrusting her lance as she charged at him.
The knight jumped up, dodging nimbly against her attack.
The mantis lord swiftly disappeared in thin air, holding onto the cage walls before she threw her lance at the knight as it spun like a boomerang.
The knight ran past the boomerang, and was about to swing his nail when the lance came rushing back behind him, damaging him as the mantis sister caught it.
"You better watch your back, what comes around goes around :D" The mantis sister said as she caught the lance.
The mantis sister seemed to like battling like it was a game to her.
The mantis sister disappeared and appeared right above him, causing the knight to get caught off guard as his cloak was slashed with minor damages to him.
"Oops! Almost got you!~" The mantis sister said as she charged at him with her lance.
The knight jumped up to dodge her again, this time hitting her in the back.
"Owwwww! No fair! Cheater!" The mantis sister exclaimed as she disappeared.
Clinging onto the wall, the mantis sister began using the lance, throwing it low to hit the knight directly.
"D:" The knight jumped up, charging towards her.
The mantis sister laughed as he did.
"Fool! You're going to get hiiiiiit~" The mantis sister said, before the knight ducked down from the attack, and swatted at him with his improved nail.
"Auuugh! That hurts! You meanie!" The mantis sister screamed.
The mantis sister quickly disappeared right above the knight again, lance in hand as she descended onto him.
"You're a mean playmate! So I can get mean with you two :D" The mantis sister said with a smile.
Knowing the move now, the knight dashed away before she can hit or graze him.
As the mantis sister was about to disappear again, the knight ran quickly and hit her as many times as he could.
"Agh! S-Stooooop ." The mantis sister screamed as she got hit three times, knocking her out of commission as she disappeared onto her own throne with her sisters.
"... You dare hurt our sister?" The eldest mantis sister said as she and the middle sister stood up.
They joined the knight in the arena, holding onto the cage walls and doing the same boomerang attack with their lances at the same time.
The knight panicked and got hit by both attacks at the same time.
The two snatched their lances back and then got on the floor to charge him at the same time.
"You should just die!" The middle mantis sister said as she and the eldest one charged at the same time.
The knight jumped up and swung his nail down at them, hitting them both at once.
"Interesting… I wonder how strong you really are… Too bad you won't live for us to find out!" The eldest sister said as she charged at the knight, while the middle sister appeared from above to strike him down.
The knight managed to jump, then dodge in the air, before hitting the middle sister.
"You stupid waste of space! I'll feed your body to the deepnest bugs!" The middle sister screamed out of pure rage.
"._." The knight focused on getting rid of the middle sister first, repeating their song and dance of dodging and swinging their weapons.
Until finally… The middle sister had been knocked out of the fight.
"Ugh… I can't… Go on…" The middle sister disappeared and went back to her own throne.
"This can't be… I can't lose like this…!" The eldest sister said, renewing her will to fight and defend this place from the knight.
The eldest sister began going even faster, fighting against the knight like there was a time limit.
The knight dodged every attack, knowing all of the patterns that they were using. It was fairly easy once he had known about their attacks.
Finally… The eldest sister was defeated.
"AUUUGHHH!" The eldest sister screamed, before she fell to the ground.
The two mantis sisters left their thrones, standing beside the eldest to defend her.
"I won't let you kill my sister!" The middle mantis lord said.
"You're a meanie!" The youngest mantis sister said.
"._." The knight felt awkward, before walking over and kneeling towards the eldest mantis sister, despite the warnings of the other mantis lords.
The knight began to poke the eldest with his nail.
"You insult me… Poking me with that thing…" The eldest mantis lord said as she moaned as her breast was poked.
The knight couldn't help but let his perverted mind take over, whipping his cock out from underneath his cloak and started rubbing it against her bare breasts, sitting on her belly as he started titfucking her.
"... Sister what is that?" The youngest mantis lord asked.
"He wants to breed after defeating us. He wants to have his way with her!" The middle mantis lord said as she prepared to strike the knight down.
"Auuuughnnnn…!" The eldest mantis lord gave a long, drawn out moan as she was titfucked by the knight.
The younger sisters were surprised, making the middle sibling place her lance down.
"Sister… What is this?" The middle sibling asked as she wondered why her sister was moaning.
The two sisters watched as their eldest sibling started… Enjoying it?
"Sister, what is the meaning of this?" The middle sister asked again.
"Does it hurt?" The youngest sibling asked.
The eldest sibling moaned again, and even started squeezing her tits together against the knight's cock.
"^/^" The knight had become rather perverted ever since his journey, with how he almost always ends up having sex with his supposed captors or those who tried to kill him.
"It's been so long… I can't take it anymore…!" The eldest mantis lord said as she even began sucking on the cock.
"You heathen!" The middle sister said as she prepared to strike at the knight again.
"Wait… Sister… I'm… I'm sorry… Everything I said to you all this time… It was untrue…" The eldest mantis lord said as she stopped blowing the cock.
"... Sister?" The middle mantis lord said, stopping while the youngest one stayed silent, confused just like the middle sister was.
"I… lied to both of you. I just wanted to protect both of you, but those outside of our species… They're misunderstood. They don't really mean to harm us, they just need help. The… They don't mean to harm us, but they're being controlled by some sort of infection. I thought that if I lied to you about how our heat cycles worked, and how those outside would seek to have their way against our kind… It was the only way I thought that would prevent any of us from getting infected. This little one is proof that no matter how strong we get, that we would eventually be overwhelmed if we stand alone…" The eldest mantis lord said before she started going back to giving the knight a titfuck.
"Then what is it that you're doing? Aren't you being manipulated to say these things?" The youngest mantis lord said.
"No, I am not. Breeding with other mantises… I forgot how the cocks outside our species feel. It is finally time that I let you both experience what breeding is, come, follow my lead~" The eldest mantis lord said as she kept alternating her breasts up and down, squeezing the knight's cock.
"0/0" The knight was flustered, was he going to breed with three of them at the same time?
The two other mantis lords kneeled down and began to follow their sister's actions, their breasts completely surrounding his lone cock as they began triple teaming his cock with their big, fleshy mounds.
"Like this sister?" The middle sister said, though she was still glaring at the knight, apprehensive and defensive against him in case he would try something on them.
"Wow, it's twitching so hard~" The youngest sister said as they all simultaneously massaged the knight's cock.
"/" The knight couldn't believe his cock was being smothered by three large breasted mantises at once, not to mention how they all tried to kill him earlier.
"I don't get it, what's even the point of this?" The middle sister said as she kept the cock between their mounds, their soft breasts throttling the cock as the knight desperately thrust from the enormous ecstasy he was feeling.
"Be patient… We will be getting the fruits of our labor soon. Now, let's go faster shall we~" The eldest mantis lord said as she began titfucking the knight even faster.
The two sisters followed the eldest one's command, imitating their sister's actions.
"This is fun! Look, it's even twitching even faster!" The youngest sister said as she kept jostling her tits.
"...! /" The knight couldn't take it as he thrusted up once more and started shooting his load, painting their breasts with his rich seed.
"Ah! What is this…? It's so slimy… Disgusting!" The middle sister said, disgusted by the sight and texture of the cum all over her face and breasts.
"It's so gooey! Heehee! ^_^" The youngest sister said as she thought it was fun.
"Give it a taste… It's time you finally experienced what it's like to taste a male's seed~" The eldest one said as she started licking the cum off her breasts, followed by the youngest sister.
"^_^" The knight felt relieved that he had released some pent up cum, it's been a bit of a few hours since he had released his seed. He wondered just how many sexy female bugs were living further underground.
The middle one hesitated, before she licked the cum off the tip, swallowing it… The taste was not that pleasant but… The texture was not like anything she tasted before… It felt… Addictive to lick it up for some reason. She then started licking up everything else, beating her sisters to it.
The middle sister then suddenly gulped the knight's cock down once the cum had run out, making the knight throw his head up from the pleasure of getting deepthroated so suddenly.
"Must have more… I must have more!" The middle sister aggressively blew his cock like a professional, taking every last inch with no problem at all, as if nothing would stand between her and getting more of it.
"Sister… Sister calm down!" The eldest mantis lord said before touching the middle sister's shoulder.
The middle sister then stopped, taking the cock out of her mouth, forgetting how… undignified she looked for a while. It was shameful how she acted, like a bestial, sexual hunger had just awakened from her.
"Sorry…" The middle sister apologized.
"Sister was just having fun ^_^" The youngest sister said innocently.
"Now… To the main event… Follow my lead again… Our pussies can't share him at the same time… But we can do this instead~" The eldest one said as she laid back, catching herself with her hands, and then proceeded to rub her cunt against the cock.
":/)" The slippery juices of her pussy was divine on the knight's length, it was erotic and naughty, feeling his cock get teased by the eldest bug's snatch.
"Yes sister… Unorthodox looking activity… But I will trust your judgment" The middle sister said as she proceeded to give the knight a pussyjob.
"Wow, it feels so good. It's like… Like whenever I touch my pussy! ^/^" The youngest mantis lord said as she thrusted her hips up and down against the cock.
The three cunt's started covering the knight's cock with their pussy juices, feeling it twitch, wanting to get inside any of them.
The knight tried to aim his cock into one of their cunts, but the eldest one held him down in a dominating way that he just laid still.
"You may have defeated us, but we will remain in control here~" The eldest mantis lord said as she placed her foot on the knight's chest and winked at him.
"./." The knight laid still, wondering if he would even be allowed to move at all as he started precumming against their cunts, though this was overshadowed by the large amounts of juices they were giving off and covering his cock in.
At this point, the knight's cock had become slick and shiny, their transparent juices covering it with a layer of slimy lubricant.
The knight was getting close… The way the pussies were going at his cock was extreme for him, the erotic, soft-core sex he was experiencing, the teasing… It was all too much.
"Hah… Hah… I'm… Gonna cum… Sisters… Don't stop rubbing your pussies against his cock… We're going to keep him here… Make him sire more warriors for the mantis village~" The eldest mantis lord said as she kept rubbing her pussy up against the knight's meat pole.
"I don't think I can s-s-stopp…! It's… I can't think straight…!" The middle mantis lord said as she began rubbing her clit into the mix of her thrusts.
"It feels so good… I don't know what siring means… But I want it!" The youngest mantis lord screamed as she began squeezing her breasts for more pleasure.
The knight couldn't hold back anymore, thrusting his cock even faster in an attempt to reach climax much sooner.
It wasn't helping how arousing the sounds of the cock thrusting against the pussies were, hearing the juice covered cunts rubbing up against his cock were making his heart beat faster, it was coming any second now…!
"AUUUUUUGGGHHHHHHH!" The mantis lords screamed as their pussies squelched and squeezed on nothing, before spraying juices and gushing out their sexual frustrations from years of isolation from other bugs, drenching the knight's cock in their juices one final time.
The knight shot his load and covered the sisters in his cum.
The sisters didn't stop there however, and began getting on all fours and took their positions licking his cock and balls.
The eldest one took their place in front of him, while the middle and youngest sister were suckling on his fat balls, letting themselves indulge in the tasty male's privates.
As they were busy however, a familiar face showed up.
"There you are… Finding more victims to turn into your sex slave? I know what you are, you can't fool me!" The all too familiar sound of Hornet said as she brought out a collar and leash.
"._." The knight, upon seeing her, panicked and ran off, dashing away as the mantis lords had their treat taken away from them.
"Hey wait! You're mine! How dare you!" Hornet said as she gave chase.
However, fate had something else in store for her for now.
The mantis lords suddenly lunged at her, pinning her down on the ground with her rear raised high, revealing her pussy was wet all along, having longed for the knight to fuck her.
"Hey wait! What are you doing!? Can't you see I'm trying to save everyone!?" Hornet said amidst her delusional justification.
"Save us? Fool! We had him where we wanted him!" The middle sister said, furious that such a thing that she didn't know she wanted was taken from her.
"Yeah! You spoiled our fun -3-" The youngest mantis lord said, not as angry, but just as upset as the middle sister was.
"Why have you taken our prize from us, spider princess? You know your kind and I have a treaty not to invade another's territory" The eldest mantis lord said, displeased by Hornet's intervention.
"If anybody is the fool here it's all of you! That… That thing! That thing is going to enslave all of us! But don't worry, I am here to make him mine! To chain him down and take control of such a vile creature! I will make him my pet! Then everyone will see that I am a hero! And see him for the corrupted being that he is!" Hornet said as she declared her delusional reasons for wanting to put him on a leash and collar.
"..." The three mantis lords looked at the collar and leash nearby, before realizing she was referring to the knight, though getting the wrong idea about her.
"I see now…" The eldest sister said as she let go of her, though the two sisters still held her down.
"Did you finally see why? Good! Maybe you should let me go now, so I can claim that- GAAHHHH!" Hornet was about to say until she felt a sharp sting on her pussy as it suddenly released a string of juices onto the floor.
She looked back in fear as the eldest mantis lord stood in front of her vulnerable rear, holding some sort of whip.
"So you're going to claim him is it? I don't suppose you didn't think that he was ours when you got in here?" The eldest mantis lord said as she tapped the whip on her hand.
"That was the most fun I've had and you took it away! So now we will play with your body instead! :/(" The youngest mantis lord said as she kept holding her down even though she struggled as hard as she could.
"And you? You are going to make him yours? We couldn't even defeat him and yet he decided to come to US! Yet when he saw you, he ran away! It sounds like he wants US to be his owners instead of YOU!" The furious middle sister said as she opened up Hornet's pussy with her fingers.
"W-Wait… That's not… *crack* AUUUUUGHHHH!" Hornet screamed again, her vulnerable pussy whipped by the cock as she sprayed her juices from the pleasure.
"It's time you learn your place princess~" The eldest mantis lord said as she began to punish Hornet again with the whip.
…
"Hah… I-I can't… I can't… Cum anymore…! P-Please make it stop…!" Hornet said as she was locked in a fourway tribadism with the other mantis lords.
"I n-never thought it was possible to do this with another female…!" The middle mantis lord said, thrusting their pussies against each other.
"Rub harder mean spider ^/^" The youngest mantis lord demanded as their pussies rubbed.
"I can feel myself cumming… After this… You're f-forgiven…!" The eldest mantis lord said.
The four of them have been rubbing their pussies together long after Hornet's punishment, who agreed to this in exchange for them letting her go.
Their legs were locked together, even having Hornet rub back as their pussies and thighs were covered in each other's juices.
"Fuuuuck… I-It's going to be a big one…!" Hornet moaned as the three began rapidly thrusting their pussies together, the sounds of squelches and moans rang through the cavern as Hornet used her nail as support, having an iron grip on it as her climax approached.
"UWAAAAAGGHHHHH!" The high pitched screams of their sexy voices echoed as their pussies shot juices all over each other's juices, ruining their clothes, including Hornet's red cloak, covering it in their fluids.
"You're… Forgiven… If you wish to be welcomed back… Huff… And forgiven… You will bring the little knight back here… he belongs to us…~" The eldest mantis lord said as she panted.
The other two mantis lords were snoozing, having been exhausted, especially after their first time indulging in sexual activities.
"Yeah right… Like I'll let you have all the glory… Just you wait little ghost… I will punish you for humiliating me… You're the reason why this happened…!" Hornet thought in her mind as she blamed the knight for what happened, before falling asleep.
So yeah… You might be confused by the sequence of events. You see, I watch a youtube lets play to do the whole sequence of events of this fanfic. But the walkthrough I was watching had skipped the mantis lords for some reason and went straight to the city of tears… So I just decided to make the knight backtrack and have an excuse to go back by making him scared of Hornet. Let me know what any of you think of this chapter, and I'll try to consider everything as much as I can. Things have been busy lately, which is why I haven't been able to write much.
Also here's some links to what I envision the mantis sisters to look like. Just remove the spaces on the link and you can check… I hope. I really wish plays well with links this tim
