"Is it just me, or is she bigger?" Ara asked, absentmindedly watching Shiloh getting used by the feral vampire.

  "I hardly think that's a question for polite company." Elnor said stiffly, ignoring the grunts and moans coming from the other side of Aphrodite's cage.

  "Who's polite in this company?" Ara snorted.

  "There is a literal goddess five feet away from you." Elnor hissed.

  "I think she is bigger." Aphrodite mused, idly rubbing her clit.

  "Where did yours go?" Ara asked the goddess.

  "I don't have it all the time, you know." Aphrodite raised an eyebrow at her.

  Ara wisely chose not to pursue the subject. Instead she looked back over at Shiloh and Viktora's vicious coupling. The smaller vampire girl had him face down, ass up on a bedroll they'd managed to convince her to move to, so Shiloh's knees wouldn't be scraped to the bone by the time she was done. Her cock, which Ara had originally thought compared fairly well with her own, now seemed to be both thicker than her and longer than El's. The green monster of jealousy threatened to rear its ugly head, so she reluctantly turned from the wanton debauchery and focused on her dinner.

  "How long have they been going at it now?" Katerine yawned, emerging from the tent into their makeshift campsite. It was nearly impossible to tell time in the arena, as the sun never set, but Twil had an unnatural affinity for anything reting to time, so she was able to answer.

  "Eighty-two hours." She stated matter-of-factly.

  "How many points has she racked up?" Katerine asked as she flopped down next to them and pulled out her own rations. Without any wood to burn, they'd had to eat their food cold for the st three days. They were rationing their water as well, since they weren't sure how long they would have to wait for Viktora to finish. They thankfully had a surplus of waterskins, but even those wouldn't st forever.

  "If the counts have been accurate, she has accumuted thirteen points in Strength and Finesse." Twil responded, finishing the st bite of her own dinner. "I'm going to take a turn before sleeping."

  The short mage walked over to Viktora and the mess of a cocksleeve that was Shiloh. She bumped his arm with her foot, and Shiloh woke up with a start. He groggily looked around, saw Twil standing there, and smiled that heart-melting smile of his.

  "Hey Twil. Need some relief?" He asked happily.

  "Yes." Twil responded shortly.

  Shiloh opened his mouth and eagerly accepted her rod. She'd dispensed with the domination she preferred, given his current circumstances. She didn't like others pying with her toys while she was. Nevertheless, her knees almost immediately went weak as Shiloh used his access to her desires. He had gone from giving a pretty good blowjob to being a god at them ever since he'd unlocked that boon. She didn't try to hold back, as she was kind of tired and this was more of a perfunctory task to be taken care of before bed. Within a couple of minutes, she was bsting her load down his throat and he was moaning greedily as he sucked down every st drop.

  When she was done, she pulled her cock free with a pop, and he gave her a big, goofy, satisfied smile.

  "You taste really good, Twil." He said, licking the st drop from her tip.

  "Th-thank you." Twil stammered, the overly-sensitive tip making her jerk in response to his lick.

  "How long has it been?" Shiloh asked as he lowered his head back to the ground again.

  "Eighty-two hours." Twil informed him. "She has gained thirteen points in Strength and Finesse, by our reckoning."

  "Any idea when she'll stop?" This was as close to "had enough sex" as Shiloh had ever been with them. He was always happy to jump into bed with whichever one of them wanted him, which was often more than one, but he just looked.... tired. They had done what they could to help alleviate the aches and pains. Viktora had even been somewhat lucid after her rger climaxes, but even with her temporary assistance, keeping the feral beast inside her from hurting Shy had been a task unto itself.

  "No." Twil said softly. "I'm sorry, Shiloh."

  He smiled up at her. "It's okay. I would do it for any of you. It's just that... I want to eat something again. Something solid."

  He'd been forced onto a liquids-only diet, as nobody was able to keep Viktora out of him long enough to use his hole for anything other than her personal cum dumpster.

  "Just hang in there, Shy." Twil knelt, stroking his cheek. "She can't do this forever."

  He nuzzled into her hand, and she felt her heart break a little bit more to make room for him. She smiled, and kept stroking his cheek for a few more minutes until she was certain he had fallen asleep again. Then she made her way back to the tent and crawled inside.

  "I must say, I do appreciate how kind you all are to my Loverboy." Aphrodite commented as Twil turned in for the "night".

  "We wouldn't ever want to hurt him." Elnor whispered.

  "Unless he asks for it." Beck said with a wink.

  "Fuuuuuck!" Viktora screamed as she unloaded yet again. Then, to everyone's surprise, she wrenched herself backwards, away from Shiloh. The vampire's cock was blessedly going soft, and she sat down hard on her ass. She looked like she wanted to say something but, when she tried to stand again, she passed out on the ground.

  Shiloh stirred, leaned up a bit and looked behind him. "Viktora!" He gasped, crawling over to her to check on her. It was an utterly absurd scene; the vampire that had savaged him for over three days, ying on the ground while he examined her for anything wrong. He, meanwhile, had his ass thoroughly gaped. It was the first time they'd seen it not close back up in a reasonable amount of time. Apparently eighty-two hours of solid butt-fucking was enough to convince even his body that it wasn't completely immune to their attentions.

  Convinced that Viktora was okay, Shiloh y down next to her. He wrapped himself around the vampire's lithe body, her test load still dripping out of him, and fell asleep, snuggled into her shoulder. The rest of Aphrodite's Apostles, minus Twil, all looked at each other and started ughing at the absurdity.

  "Well, we should all probably get some rest." Beck said when the ughter had subsided. "After we go over the fifty levels she just gave Shy, we'll want to get started on the next wave as soon as possible."

  "Lady Aphrodite?" Elnor asked softly.

  The goddess waved her off. "Yes, yes. I'll keep watch."

  "Thank you. Actually, I was going to apologize for this dey. I know Shiloh will feel horrible that you were trapped in there for three days, and we will do our best to get you out fast. This wasn't something any of us could have predicted."

  Aphrodite looked over at her, and softened her expression. "Thank you, Elnor. I don't bme any of you for... whatever this is." She gestured towards the tangle of limbs and cum that was Shiloh and Viktora.

  ***

  Shiloh woke to a blessedly empty gut, wrapped around his new favorite vampire, and he squeezed himself in even tighter, holding her for all he was worth.

  "Good morning." Viktora's dry, cracking voice greeted him.

  "Good morning." Shiloh responded as he nuzzled her. "All better?"

  "I... I think so. Shiloh, I'm so-"

  "No." Shiloh cut her off, his serious tone cutting across her incomplete apology. Viktora felt herself moisten at that tone. How fucking insatiable was she going to be now? She hadn't counted on this being the trade-off for her promised power. She only barely managed to not rape her friend, and only because his lovers had held her down until he could give consent.

  "I never want you to apologize for what you are. I don't know exactly what happened, but you said that you'd never done anything before, and you never dealt with the urges that the others have. Now that you have, I am going to take care of you as long as you're with me, if you want me to."

  "It was my fault." Viktora said, pressing a finger to his lips as he tried to rebuke her again. "When I... when I died, I saw Aphrodite and Aczotz. They offered me power that I should have had my entire life, but was repressed by Aczotz to keep Ronak from killing me a long time ago, once he realized being a Third came with the urges. In repressing my power, Aczotz repressed the urges. They offered me back the power and warned me what would come of it, but I didn't know it would be like that. I'm sorry."

  Shiloh nuzzled back into her. "It's okay. Thank you for telling me, Viktora. It won't be like that ever again if I can help it. You just need to release the urge regurly."

  "Oh good, you're both awake." Aphrodite's voice said as she turned to look at them. They weren't deceived by her feigned ignorance, however. She had let them have their talk. "You should go wake up the others so we can get moving with this."

  "Aphrodite!" Shiloh gasped. "I am so so-"

  "Can it, Loverboy." Aphrodite cut him off with a small smile. "Elnor already apologized on your behalf, and if I have to wait in here for a minute longer so you can beg a forgiveness I've already given, I will shrink all of your girls' cocks."

  Shiloh went stark white and ran for the tent. "Get up! Up, up, up! You too, Twil! Come on, we've gotta get moving! Let's go, let's go, let's go! We're burning daylight here! Ara, don't you fucking dare roll back over!"

  When Shiloh had thoroughly irritated his lovers, yet spared their glorious rods, they took down the tent and had a small repast while he went through his level ups.

  "You got nine levels?" Elnor asked, a little confused. "For three solid days?"

  "I think it was probably diluted a bit." Shiloh replied. "I was unconscious for a lot of it, and Viktora was feral for a lot of it. I think the experience is like the Lust, where it's better when both parties are... ahem... enjoying it fully."

  "The logic is sound." Twil said. "Though we don't have any previous cases to go off of, so any number of things could be contributing."

  "He still got nine fucking levels." Beck groused. "All this work I put into clearing bosses and risking my neck, and this guy goes and fucks a feral vampire to gain nine fucking levels."

  "I know, right?" Ara commiserated with her.

  "I got fourteen points from Seductress." Viktora whispered in awe.

  "I must've really enjoyed your attentions, then." Shiloh winked at her. "Though I don't think I'm up for any more marathon sex for a while."

  With that, he opened the first of many choices. When all was said and done, he accumuted a bevy of new skills that ranged from pretty good to downright fucking broken. He also picked up a couple of skills he'd previously passed on whenever he got options that didn't fit their team very well. He'd additionally gained fifty-five raw stat points.

  "We actually have a chance of catching him, now." Ara commented. "Still wish I got levels for fucking, though."

  "Whining won't change anything." Elnor sighed, exasperated. "Let's get this over with so we can go home. I want a shower."

  "Whining won't change anything." Ara muttered under her breath.

  ***

  Geared up and somewhat fresh-faced, though two of their members smelled like a brothel that ran out of perfume, Aphrodite's Apostles organized themselves in the same way they had when they'd faced the slimes. Squishies were on top of the cage, front line was poised to intercept what they could. Ara activated the fourth pilr, and it sank into the ground. All of the doors opened.

  Like the slimes, the undead army was vast, innumerable, and faster than one would expect. Skeletons, zombies, crawling hands, and banshees all flooded onto the field. It was only once the majority of the forces were in py that the lich made an appearance. Little more than a skull in the hood of a cloak, which still looked like it was wrapped around a human form, the necromancer commanded his legions with a rattling of teeth and they surged forward.

  Katerine tried to take the boss out in one go, summoning a pit underneath him with Gaeaic Consumption, but he merely floated over the top of it with the banshees. She did take out a huge swath of skeletons, zombies, and crawling hands, however, which gave the front liners somewhere to stand if they engaged the lich.

  "Shiloh! Defensive Aura!" Ara shouted from the ground. Shiloh activated it at once and watched as Elnor fired arrow after arrow at the lich. None of them hit their mark. The true damage from her double shot was worthless if she couldn't nd the shot to begin with, and the lich seemed to be protected by some sort of barrier. She had a dozen Endowed arrows, which definitely pissed the thing off, but after that she needed to wait until they got the shield down.

  Twil was everywhere on the battlefield. Rather than locking down one area, she was merely activating Domain of Chronos in short bursts to keep an enemy from swinging on the front liners when they were exposed, or to hold one steady for a decisive blow to take them out. Katerine let off two more mana bombs, and Shiloh knew that meant Reign of Ruin was primed.

  "Ready!" She called out to Ara.

  Without hesitation, Ara and Beck jumped into the middle of the two rgest crowds of enemies, and Katerine cast a doubled-up Emancipation on them. It was enough, coupled with Katerine's st mana bomb, to sufficiently whittle down the hordes to just a few dozen that needed to be cleaned up. While the rest of the team focused on them, Shiloh and Viktora went for a repeat of their st performance.

  He activated his offensive aura, and Viktora ran at the lich with superhuman speeds. Upon reaching it, the field around them went bck as pitch for two seconds before revealing Viktora standing on the ground, winded, and the cloak the lich had been wearing ying on the ground, unmoving. This time, Shiloh switched his Empowered Pool to Viktora and she applied it to her Fortitude before he deactivated his defensive aura. She smiled at him before dashing off to fill her bde with charges of more sin foes.

  The battle was over in a matter of minutes, but it had seemed like so much longer. Time had a funny way of moving like mosses when you were fighting for your lives. As the st enemy fell, they all began cheering. Shiloh noticed, however that they weren't the only ones. The crowd, unlike every other time they had won a round, hadn't gone silent.

  "Something's wrong!" He shouted, immediately putting them all on alert again. A cold wind blew through the arena, and a mad cackling was heard as a strange, green light began swirling around the lich's robes.

  "Phyctery!" Twil screamed over the whistling of the wind. "It won't die until we destroy the phyctery!"

  "Where the hell is that?" Beck grunted. The lich was back in py, and it had resurrected a good majority of the army they'd just spent most of their resources defeating.

  "It could be anywhere!" Twil responded. "It must be in the arena though, otherwise this would be a death trap!"

  "Fucking Ares!" Ara snarled. This was looking bad. The front-liners were being bogged down so badly that Twil was having to use more and more of her dwindling mana reserves to keep them steady. He could activate his defensive aura again to give the mages more mana, but that would only work if they destroyed the phyctery first. Otherwise everything would just resurrect again.

  As the undead hordes swarmed around Aphrodite's cage, Elnor had to fire with ever-increasingly precarious angle to hit her targets without getting her teammates as well. Shiloh looked around wildly and saw, to his horror, the lich summoning a thin, deathly white bone spear. It looked like a harpoon, and it was glowing with the same sickly green light that had resurrected the lich in the first pce. Shiloh watched, as if in slow motion, as the harpoon leveled itself at their little group. Nobody else was paying attention to the lich, as distracted as they were with the hordes of minions.

  The lich's teeth ccked together in what Shiloh took to be a ugh, and the spear lowered its angle from them to...

  Aphrodite!

  All thought left Shiloh's mind as the spear took off. It quickly gathered speed, heading straight for the captured goddess. He moved as fast as he could, and slid right off of the cage. He barely managed to get in front of the thing in time, throwing his arms out wide to protect his caged lover. The tip of the spear was coming straight at his heart. It was going to run him through and then...

  "STOP!" A commanding, gravelly voice echoed throughout the arena. Immediately the crowd, the lich, the hordes, and even the spear ceased all forms of motion. The air was quiet as the grave for a moment, then was filled with the sounds of bodies dropping all around them. The lich colpsed, the undead hordes colpsed, the crowd colpsed, even the spear dropped from the air. Shiloh spun around and saw, to his horror, that Aphrodite was also ying prone, unmoving.

  "Aphrodite!" He screamed, trying to reach her through the bars. "Aphrodite! My love! Look at me! Wake up, my love! Aphrodite!"

  "Stop." The gravelly voice was right behind Shiloh now. He felt a shadow fall across him, shielding him from the sun's rays. "It's over, boy."
