Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

[Guan Yu]

The girls would get to work, all of them managing to get hits in before they even had to contend with the downed creature, further wounding it with their attacks. Taio's knife seemed to have some trouble with the creature's thick skin, though the same was not quite as obvious with the other two girls and their respective weapons. But even as it was being railed at by the trio, the thing nonetheless raised itself back up with surprising quickness, a sudden rush catching Shizu off guard as it snatched her up by the legs, trying to swing her at Taio, who managed to avoid getting smacked with the miko. With gorilla-like gait once standing, it held on to the miko as a makeshift club, apparently intent on smacking the ladies down with one of them.

 

[Mind Flayer]

"Come on you big bastard. Stay... down," Adelle growled and slashed at him.

When he managed to get back up and grabbed Shizu, Adelle ducked for cover to keep from getting hit herself, and she'd scramble around under its legs to climb up onto its back to stab at its head with her blade. "Put her... down, this... Instant!" Adelle growled at the thing as she attacked it.

 

[Guan Yu]

Having a plan, Adelle would do it just as she imagined as she managed to avoid getting Shizu'd and climb the burly beast for some very close range attacks as Taio did her best to make something of her own situation. And while Adelle would only manage to glance the monster's head with a misaligned stab, Shizu would proceed to free herself as she scored a cut on the creature's hand that forced it to release her. As she landed on her feet more or less, the fight was looking a lot different.

 

[Mind Flayer]

Adelle would keep stabbing at the thing's head after Shizu got freed, trying to present herself as the greatest threat to the creature and make it focus on her instead of Shizu and or Taio. She would wrap her left arm around its neck, as she jabbed the sword blade down through the top of its head, hoping one of the stabs would finish it off. "G-Go... down already you... beast," Adelle growled at the thing.

 

[Guan Yu]

While she had to struggle a bit to get a proper lineup on the monster she had climbed, Adelle would soon find her mark as she stabbed into the creature's head, both of the other ladies also finding themselves some openings to exploit. With all three of the blades relentlessly carving at it, the creature would fall, a mess of ripped muscle in the end as it crashed onto the floor.

 

[Mind Flayer]

Adelle was panting heavily by the end of that ordeal, and rode the beast to the ground, her wakizashi still sticking out of its head. "H-Hah... damn that thing... did Not want to go down... jeez. I hope there's no more as strong as that, or else I'll be too exhausted to move by the end of this, if we even make it that far," Adelle panted to Shizu and wrenched her sword free and wiped it off on the creature's body wherever it wasn't bloody, and then sheathed her blade once more.

 

[Guan Yu]

"There probably will be, if all the other places I've cleared match this particular one." Shizu would not be terribly comforting in her analysis about the upcoming encounters deeper in the hive as she too would take a moment to clean up her weapon.

The only way forward beyond the monster would soon split up as they advanced, one path being a small meaty opening in a wall, small and tight enough to force one into crawling inside it if they wanted to make way in there. Of course it had a liquid-coated floor as well, which would just increase the tedium of going in there. The other road was the complete opposite in size, being a vast cavern with what looked like a small lake of the white stuff at the bottom of a substantial drop. The only way through this one, aside from the option of just wantonly taking a dive to the bottom, was a thick, log-sized tentacle that spanned the entire length of the cum pit and was a way to cross if one wanted to balance it in some way.

 

[Mind Flayer]

"Well shoot, that isn't going to make things any easier," Adelle sighed softly and prepared to continue onward with Shizu and Taio.

When they continued on, Adelle would grumble a bit at the fork in the path. "Well... which way Shizu? You know these places better than we do. Shimmy our butts across that lake of cum? Or squeeze our big booties through the opening there? I don't Mind trying to go across the tentacle thing over there, but with how slick this place is we're just as likely to slip off as we are to make it across I think," Adelle asked Shizu, but seemed to prefer trying to squeeze through the smaller tight path.

 

[Guan Yu]

"It's a bit of a big and small gamble kind of thing. The hole is the safe bet, unlikely to be completely hassle-free as there's bound to be some sort of molestation happening in that tight squeeze but that'll be it. The meat log crossing is the bigger gamble as the fall down there might not end well if the bottom is shallow and you have bad balance. One can of course sit on the tentacle and drag across it like one of those gym vaulting horses but there might be some shenanigans from floating denizens we're not seeing, or it could come from the tentacle itself if it's got intelligence going for it. But... if one has luck and skill, they can make it across fast and easy."

 

[Mind Flayer]

"Mmm, well I'm confident in my balance, but it's likely to be slick. And... I guess it isn't going anywhere really. So let's try squeezing our butts in through the hole over here first," Adelle told Shizu and Taio, and started over to the hole to crawl in, deciding to go first unless Shizu took point instead, and hoping she'd made the right choice, but feeling that if she didn't... well, they would be going across that other tentacle soon enough.

 

[Guan Yu]

Shizu would take lead as the trio made a quick decision on the road to follow, crawling into the hole first, disappearing from sight as soon as she had fully entered the spot. With Adelle on the trail, she would find out that the safer option was not completely so. The walls and ceiling of the hole would squeeze her down to a crawl, and while she could go forward in the fleshy embrace, it took a bit of effort to push oneself forward in the grip of the flesh. It wouldn't be made any easier by the textures of the surroundings, which shared their design with the bumpy tracts on their new buddy who was likely near the entrance at this point. But while the slug monster had a designated area of tentacle nub teasing, the squish of the tunnel was a whole body experience, almost all of the exposed skin on the busty girl's buddy getting teased and slathered with cum as she dragged herself forward. How long it would go, she could not know as it was almost pitch black in there.

 

[Mind Flayer]

"Ngh... damn this stuff... is really... ugh... clingy. It'd make a fantastic bed though, that's for damn sure," Adelle said to Shizu and Taio, pulling herself along and hoping Taio was alright behind her.

After she would have gotten completely inside, Adelle would reach into her bag and look for her flashlight, though she wasn't sure she'd remembered to pack it. But she could swear she had though. "Say Shizu... can you see how far this tunnel goes?" Adelle asked, and kept crawling along, though if her face suddenly got planted in Shizu's luscious booty, she would pause mid crawl.

 

[Guan Yu]

Despite being only a few feet behind, Adelle could barely hear Shizu talk back to her in the tightness of that tunnel. "No... not really. It's the nature of these things to disorient you and keep you in here for as long as possible. Hold out... and push on, we'll be through this soon." the miko would call back as the two went, the flashlight barely giving any guidance but it did make the experience less dark as the busty girl managed to light the area around her immediate field of vision, which turned out to be a whole lot of reddish flesh material. It would get only more tedious as they went on, the teasing and rubbing a constant presence from the clingy tunnel ever present no matter how long it felt like they went.

 

[Mind Flayer]

"Alright. I'm right behind you," Adelle told Shizu and kept going, putting the flashlight in her mouth as she crawled, and pressed onward.

She noticed her surroundings in that tight flesh like tunnel, and knew that the more she stayed inside here, the less she would want to actually get out of it. In all honesty, she did rather enjoy the feeling of all of those fleshy little nubs and whatnot glide across her body, especially her nipples. They were quite sensitive already, but the fleshy feeling rubbing across them sent sparks of pleasure through her that she knew the insidious nature of this place wanted her to feel... but she couldn't help it nonetheless.

She kept crawling, and would try and look back to see if Taio was still behind her too. "Taio, are you still behind me? Come on, try and keep up," Adelle called back.

 

[Guan Yu]

It was maybe somewhat concerning that Adelle would not get a reply from Taio when she called back to her, raising some thoughts as to what was going on with her. But it did not seem that the effort they had been putting out had not been completely worthless as there was a glimmer of light ahead of them, and it sounded as if Shizu was looking to clear on outta there, signalling that the end of the crawl was right there. just a little bit further ahead.

 

[Mind Flayer]

Adelle, not hearing a reply from Taio, began to get worried, but she noticed the hint of light up ahead and continued on, where she could turn around and crawl back in to get Taio and pull her out of there. "Come on Taio, I've got you..." Adelle told Taio and grabbed her hands began to pull her back out of the tunnel, even if she had to crawl halfway back into the thing to get her friend.

 

[Guan Yu]

Finally clearing the molestation tunnel, Adelle would be set back on her rescue plan as she got to the open area as she was met with the sight of Taio just standing there already. A quick look at the surroundings revealed that the tunnel had been the other option to clear the large room, and she was now looking back at the area where they had come from, now on the other side of the tentacle balancing log. "I changed my mind... so I went across the trunk instead. Wasn't too bad even as I almost slipped a few times." she would reveal what had happened, and while Shizu looked a bit puzzled she stated that it could have gone far worse.

Ahead of them was a path going further down by the looks of it, possibly connecting to the other path down in the pit they had seen from the other side.

 

[Mind Flayer]

"Oh, well there you are. Hah, glad you're okay hon. That wouldn't have been good, because then I'd have had to jump down after you," Adelle told Taio upon spotting her, and then moved hastily over and hugged her and gave her a kiss on the lips after she'd spoken to them.

"Well... I guess we continue on. Looks like it could have been an either way sort of deal, which is good to know, in case we have to make a run for it," Adelle said as she stepped up and prepared to continue onward with the pair, making sure to keep close to Taio so she didn't lose her again.

 

[Guan Yu]

Another downward tunnel would follow as the girls went onward, a connection that came from downstairs soon coming to sight at a fork, the other way going forward and still down but in a less steep descent. The more steep dive would probably take them to the pool at the bottom, so the other path would be the one way to go.

A little ways in and after a few turns in the path, the girls would come to the entryway of the biggest chamber so far, and it looked like this was what they had come to clear out. The room was laid out like a shallow bowl, the middle having what was more or less a monstrous heart the size of a small house standing there, beating and occasionally spurting a spout of the white slime out from one of the veins. A quartet of curved bone-like pillars stood around it, a faint crackle of energy emanating from them as a shimmer in the air suggested they were creating some sort of energy shield for the heart. This entire construction was on a slightly raised area at the bottom of the bowl, a pool of whiteness around it, one that would reach a good distance around it.

But it was not the only thing there as one should expect. Three abominations were stationed around the room as well, each being the same type of monstrosity this time around. With eight relatively thick but short tentacles acting as legs, the main body was carried atop those, being a large, fleshy inverted cone covered with a good two dozen eyes arrayed around the sides of the body, giving them all-around vision. And from their elevated position, the girls could see that the wide top of the cone was the creature's mouth, a fleshy pit that would likely not be a good experience.

 

[Mind Flayer]

As they continued slowly onward, Adelle came to a halt at the edge of the huge bowl like chamber and peered down into the place. "Whoa... those things look nasty. But... is this the actual heart of this dungeon? Like, if we take that out, does it take the whole thing out?" Adelle said, looking over at Shizu as they spotted the creatures patrolling the pool of milky white... well, cum is the only thing Adelle could think it was.

"I'd wager that in order to destroy the heart, we gotta destroy those pillars, and somehow get inside of it. I seriously doubt we can destroy it from the outside... most likely," Adelle would then say, noticing the eyes on the creatures. "Damn, they got eyes literally everywhere. I'd be surprised if they didn't already spot us," Adelle grumbled and looked to Shizu, to see what she thought they should do here.
