The Illicitous Dungeon

Chapter 155: Inside the "Temple"

Styx was currently doing an inspection of both The Void and Heaven's temples.

The Void's emissaries, construction team, and several priestesses had suddenly appeared a while ago with all the materials to construct the temple. It had caught Styx by surprise, but he had adapted quite quickly and a location within the eastern caverns of the dungeon had been assigned to them.

Naturally, Styx approached this one with the angel commander Ursula and Beatrice by his side. Everest was also hiding within subspace and he could feel her gaze never leaving his body for more than a second.

It was an odd stare that only placed Styx within itself. Should anything or anyone get too close to him, it would momentarily split away from him to assess the danger before returning again.

Ursula had reluctantly parted with her armor and had been forced to wear an open back pure white dress by Styx. He enjoyed eyeing her body lasciviously, resulting in the battle angel looking away in embarrassment.

Beatrice was almost at the full term of her pregnancy, the baby had been kicking periodically whilst her breasts had swollen and filled with milk. It was due to her late term pregnancy that she had become less and less active in her usual tasks, so Styx had brought her out to walk with his avatar.

The happiness she felt just being by his side overflowed through their connection and filled his soul with warmth. She giggled and smiled warmly whenever he rubbed her stomach, which contained her greatest desire in the world.

The temple was a grand construction with slabs of dark stone that appeared almost tinted green under the reflection of the moonlight from the cavern roof. Styx had installed a pseudo moon array on the ceiling under the bequest of The Void's envoy, Ygralea, that kept this zone within the dungeon under a perpetual night.

Styx had also begun modifying the plants and general area to suit, with flowers that were phosphorescent and would release stunning luminescent gumdrops of light that floated through the forest like will-o'-the-wisps.

Green underworld flames burned from stone firepit pedestals while exquisite tinted glass windows depicting all kinds of gods lined the building. A black star high on a giant circular window above was the main centrepiece though, with all the gods below it.

Inside was a polished slate tiled floor with a grand and open main hall. A plethora of artifacts and art pieces that contained divine power were placed on display, whilst the inner chambers were used for people to worship and receive the blessings of various gods under the umbrella of The Void.

The Void had clearly used a type of spatial array within the temple to make the interior significantly larger than the exterior, but Styx felt the living array he begun using in new homes was much better.

"I want this one," Styx said whilst picking up a bejewelled goblet with a powerful divine aura to it.

"Lord Styx, the god whose power fills this vessel must agree to that first," Ygralea entered the main hall dressed in an elegent black and violet robe with a deep v-cut that extended all the way down to the naval.

Several other priestesses in similar robes skirted by her sides, all of which giving welcoming smiles to Styx whilst uniformly ignoring the angel Ursula.

"The cost?"

"You would have to ask them. It would depend on how much they value the divine artifact. It is one of their advertisement in the mortal plane, which costs quite significantly to create."

"A shame, then. If said god is ever willing to part with it for free, let me know."

Styx did want it, but not so much he was willing to trade with valuable knowledge or service for it.

"So what had Lord Styx come here for today? Perhaps you wish to explore faith, and receive one of our god's boon?" Ygralea smiled slyly and slid her body up against Styx, pressing her buttocks against his crotch whilst an arm hooked around his neck, her hair and antlers glimmering like emerald under the light. "Perhaps you have finally come to take my maidenhood?"

Everest emitted a large amount of killing intent towards the envoy, but several divine consciousnesses sparked and suppressed it before it could reach the two, resulting in a very disgruntled spider Monster Lord. She hissed back at the divine consciousnesses defiantly, but didn't dare attack them.

Styx couldn't restrain himself under such an enticement and wrapped one arm around the Ygralea's slender waist whilst the other pinched her chin and forced her to gaze directly in his eyes.

"You seem so experienced, do you still have your maidenhood?"

"Of course. Us Priestesses of the Void value our maidenhood very deeply. Once we give it to someone, we will never care for another in our lives."

The other priestesses all nodded their head in agreement whilst Ursula furrowed her brow. Beatrice also interjected.

"And yet you offer it so easily."

"The Void thinks very highly of Lord Styx. We are all prepared to offer our hearts and bodies to sate his lust should it be required."

"Since when were the Priestesses of the Void so loose?" Ursula stated, blushing slightly at her own words which she secretly blamed Styx for having a negative influence on her.

"Our souls will always belong to The Void, but our heart and body is free to give to whomever we choose."

Styx partially nodded his head in understanding whilst his mana tendrils extended from his body and begun wrapping themselves around Ygralea.

"You will offer yourself just like that. I had honestly expected more resistance."

"So, would you like to take me. You can take the others at the same time, you know. But perhaps we should go somewhere a little more private. This is the main hall, and we already have quite a few believers who visit to pray... Nnnnn~~"

The antlered beauty suddenly moaned as Styx's mana tendrils wriggled their way into her mana network. She did not offer up any resistance and allowed her body to weakly lay in Styx's embrace.

"The main purpose was just to inspect things. Your believers have come from Lagoon Porter City and none of them have a piece of myself inside of them. I hadn't had the chance to see your construction yet. It is also a good chance to inspect and work on your mana channels. That is the desire of The Void towards me, right?"

"And haahhh how do you like it inside?"

The way Ygralea phrased it, it was unclear whether she was indicating towards the temple or herself.

"I have never known you to be so free spirited? Where is the Monster Lord you are in charge of aiding, Peacock?"

"He is back in his territory If he is gone too long the monsters start fighting for mmmmm territory. I will return later but... ahhh~~ Lord Styx, if you keep this up I will never be able to let you go~"

Styx dug through her mana channels with his tendril without resistance, filling her body and expanding her mana channels. It truly brought her a deep connection and fulfilling feeling towards Styx, who was 'inside' of her, but his main goal was her core region.

It was difficult to trust someone whose allegiance resided elsewhere, but it would be different if he could form a bond with them. This was true for both the envoys of The Void, and Heaven's angels.

What annoyed Styx, was that there seemed to be an impenetrable barrier around her mind that prevented all his attempts to penetrate deeper. He wasn't sure if Ygralea was doing it actively or even knew about it, but he couldn't place a piece of himself within her.

Styx lowered his head and stole the beautiful antlered woman's lips, extending his tongue into her mouth and mixing their saliva together. Ygralea closed her eyes and moaned, whilst Styx snuck one of his hands through the low v cut of her dress and grasped her breast.

Her boobs weren't the largest out of those currently present, but they were firm and springy under Styx's grip. He felt her nipple harden and rub against his hand as he massaged the beauty's chest.

The other priestesses watched this without batting an eyelid whilst Ursula and Beatrice had varying reactions. Ursula had covered her crimson face with her hands, pretending to not know what was happening, whilst Beatrice smiled wryly and shook her head.

Ursula's large halo above her head was rotating though, indicating she was communicating with heaven or another angel. Beatrice saw her mana being very active within her body, but neither her or Styx knew what it was doing.

"Enough!" A loud and anger filled voice echoed through the hall.

Loreley stormed into the main hall filled with wrath. Her black feathered wings were extended wide out beside her, as if to make her presence even more known. Styx saw her through his dungeon senses and knew immediately who Ursula was contacting.

"When did the Priestesses of the Void turn into such whores, giving away your bodies like cheap artifacts?"

This prompted Styx to separate his lips from Ygralea's, the seemingly weak woman then breaking free from Styx's embrace with no effort at all before facing the invading fallen angel.

"Oh my, Loreley, what are you doing here? Ursula I can understand, as she is accompanying Lord Styx, but what prompted you to come to another temple on your own volition?"

"Answer my question, you loose woman! You should be ashamed of yourself!"

Styx stood to the side and watched the two start arguing with Ursula and Beatrice by his side. Ursula was still avoiding looking at him, whilst Beatrice latched herself onto his arm tenderly.

Styx glanced at Ursula, who was looking away from him, and adopted a mischievous grin. He slipped his free hand through the open back of her dress and pulled her into his embrace. The angel's entire body tightened as his hand firmly held onto her bare skin, but she still held her voice.

"Our bodies are but expendable in the face of our faith, what does it matter? Is that truly what you are angry about?"

"Shameless! Both our bodies and souls belong to a higher force. You have degenerated!"

"I recall there was a certain fallen angel who abandoned that has been showing some dangerous signs towards a certain dungeon lord, you two even-"

"Shut up!" Loreley cut off Ygralea and even pulled out a large spear from a space ring.

The divine consciousnesses within the temple also showed themselves, but none of them interfered. Instead, it seemed they were merely enjoying the show.

Off to the side, Styx ran his fingers up and down Ursula's side under her dress, prompting her voice to titter lightly and body to quiver. Eventually finding it not enough, he unhesitatingly slid his hand downwards and pushed it into her underwear, grabbing her buttocks.

"Perhaps you wish to face me now?" Styx whispered into Loreley's ear with a hot breath.

He kneaded her tender buttock under his grip, his pinky becoming dangerously close to pushing deeper between her buttocks.

The angel seemed to turn to stone and her entire body turned weak in his hand. She felt his mana tendrils wrapping around her body and slowly pushing deeper and deeper inside of her. One the other side, Beatrice had already completely accepted his mana tendrils and looked at the other two with a knowing gaze.

She knew exactly how this angel was feeling right now, and how dangerously close to the precipice of degeneration she was.

Ursula was a battle angel, and had been oblivious to matters of the heart for her eon long life. Angels lived for a very long time, but it was very hard for them to bear offspring, so matters of life and love were a distant part of most of their lives.

Styx had been working on Ursula's heart for a long time, slowly conditioning her body to accept him.

Ygralea and Loreley were currently unaware of Styx's secret moves, instead focusing on one another.

"Are you sure you're not just angry I was a step ahead of you, again?" Ygralea mocked with an innocent smile on her face, prompting Loreley to finally attack.

Loreley thrust her spear at the antlered girls heart, but she used her bare hands to catch the spear and redirect the strike into the ground. The fallen angel was just as skilled though, and followed the momentum to flip the spear to attack with the butt.

The other priestesses made some room as the battle between the two became more and more viscous. The divine consciousnesses exerted their power to protect the artwork and divine artifacts. They were divine artifacts merely because they held a god's divine power, not because they were indestructible.

Styx whispered into Ursula's ear once again, almost like a spell. "Wrap your arm around my neck."

Seemingly instinctively, the angel did as he said and used it to support herself. This also forced her to look at him, her face bright red and wide eyed. Seeing her innocence, Styx couldn't help but take things further.

He used his fingers to crawl his hand deeper inside her underwear. She opened her mouth slightly, as if about to say something, when Styx wrapped his middle finger under her crotch and pressed it against her vaginal slit.

"Ep!" Ursula subconsiously yelped at the touch.

It was an awkward reach, but Styx pressed his finger between her vaginal lips and felt that she had already moistened herself with heavenly nectar. He circled around the tight hole leading to her inner cloister before gently applying pressure and sliding it inside.

Ursula's mana network was already filled with Styx, bringing an undeniable and instinctive close connection with him, while his finger also pushed inside of her body.

She panted and weakly held onto his body as he stirred up the inside of her vagina with his finger.

"You! What are you doing!?" Utterly enraged, Loreley had heard Ursula's involuntary yelp and looked over, only to see Styx enjoying himself and fingering her heavenly sister whilst she was busy fighting The Void's envoy.

Ygralea also noticed it and had a complex expression, as if she had done the work but someone else reaped the rewards.

Beatrice tacitly release Styx and stepped back as Ursula flew over at breakneck speed and tackled Styx. Ursula squatted on the ground and wrapped herself in her white wings to hide as she felt just how wet her crotch was.

Loreley pinned Styx to the ground with her hands and legs whilst sitting on him, ignoring the bulge she felt pressing between her buttocks.

"You despicable and shameless Dungeon! I told you not to touch my sisters, and what are you doing!?"

Styx met her furious gaze with an impish one of his own.

"Well, a certain fallen angel had left me wanting, I couldn't control myself."

"Do you think that is an excuse?!"

"Oh, of course not."

"Then why say it!?"

"I am impulsive."

Loreley was so angry her chest was heaving up and down, mesmerising Styx and drawing his gaze. This only further enraged the fallen angel though, but she had no idea what to do as her mind was in a mess.

With her hands grasping his wrists in an iron grip, Styx spread his arms further apart and caused the fallen angel's face and torse to lower towards him.

"It's been quite some time, why don't we finally seal the deal between us," Styx's mana tendrils tenderly wrapped around Loreley, but her skin had turned into an impenetrable fortress towards them. "You did agree to take the place for your sisters, right? You don't intend for Ygralea to be first again, right?"

Loreley didn't say anything in return, she picked Styx up and placed him over her shoulder before storming towards the temple's exit.

"We are leaving!" She shouted whilst carrying Styx away, not allowing for any protest.

Ursula was currently too ashamed to move whilst Beatrice followed from a distance silently. Ygralea snorted in annoyance, only solidifying the fallen angel's mindset, and returned to the inner cloister of the temple with the other Priestesses of the Void.
