Leon’s POV
Beneath the Leonamon’s main headquarters lay a hidden, shadowy realm known only to a select few. This was the underground dungeon, a grim and secretive place where we imprisoned anyone who posed a threat to my company, my woman, or me. It was also where I took a twisted pleasure in punishing particularly defiant individuals.
I made my way through the darkened corridors, the flickering flame in my hand casting long, eerie shadows on the damp cobblestone walls and floor. The dungeon was still a work in progress, with no lighting installed yet. The air was thick with the scent of damp stone, and the uneven, cold floor glistened faintly in the flickering light. Visibility was minimal, and the oppressive darkness seemed to close in around me.
Currently, there were no prisoners here—except for the three women who were restrained. Their arms and legs were bound with power dampeners, and the cell was designed to prevent escape. The bars were also made of power dampeners, and a magic circle underneath their feet added another layer of security. Three power dampeners were keeping their abilities in check, rendering them powerless.
“Hello there. You three are looking good,” I said with a twisted grin.
Their eyes burned with fury and humiliation as they glared at me. When I first encountered them, they were barely covered by leaves that did little to conceal their bodies. Now, they stood naked, their exposed forms illuminated by the flickering light from the dungeon. These were the three dryad sisters I had captured after their failed attack.
“Let us out!” Lixis, their leader, shouted with a mix of anger and desperation. “How dare you degrade us like this?! We are royal Dryads! You can’t treat us this way! Our people will come for you and make you pay!”
Almea and Morthea’s eyes mirrored Lixis’s defiance, their faces flushed with rage.
“So you’re planning to kill me, huh?” I said, taking slow, deliberate steps towards Lixis. “And how exactly do you intend to do that? By draining me dry? You should know by now that won’t work, right?”
“K-Kuh…!”
Lixis had attacked me with the intention of draining my life force. Dryads in this world were somewhat like succubi, feeding on a man’s life force, which essentially meant his semen. Unlike succubi, who siphon life force through dream-based intercourse, dryads use vines to extract it directly.
Thanks to my bloodline from the Great Red, also known as the Succubus Goddess, my libido was an infinite reservoir that couldn’t be drained. Even before they could draw anything from me, they’d be completely full. In essence, I was their perfect counter.
“I don’t like people who want to harm me,” I said with a chilling calm. “That’s why you’re here now. If you hadn’t tried to attack me, I wouldn’t have bothered with this. I truly don’t enjoy punishing anyone. Ideally, I’d prefer to avoid any bad blood between us.”
“I swear I’m going to make you pay for this,” Lixis snarled, her teeth grinding so hard I could hear the harsh, grating sound echoing in the dark. “I swear I’m going to suck you dry until you’re nothing but a husk.”
As she spoke, I heard three deep, guttural growls—not from their mouths but from their empty stomachs. They had been here since their attempt to drain my life force and hadn’t eaten anything since. Normal food was useless to them; they only fed on life force, usually from male creatures. They couldn’t be sated by ordinary sustenance.
“You can’t really drain me, as I’ve said,” I reiterated. “Trying to do so would not only be futile but would also make you look foolish.”
That’s right. My libido was so immense that even an entire army of dryads couldn’t drain me. They claimed to be royal Dryads, the highest rank of their kind, with sucking power comparable to primordial succubi. If they couldn’t drain me until I was a mere husk, no ordinary dryad would stand a chance.
“So how about this,” I suggested, “I can help you satisfy your hunger. I’m willing to provide you with my life force, if that’s what you crave.”
At my offer, their stomach growls grew more intense, resonating through the damp, cold dungeon. They were starving for life force, driven by an insatiable hunger they could barely control. It was a primal need for survival.
The three of them started to salivate, their eyes glinting with a fierce, predatory hunger. They would try to consume every drop of my life force, sucking me dry with all their might until they were finally satiated.
“Y-You’re really going to let us suck you?” Lixis asked, her voice trembling with a mix of disbelief and desperation.
“Yes,” I said calmly. “I don’t want you to die of hunger.”
I could have brought a particularly despicable man for them to drain, but that would have been inefficient. I could have also given them a powerful male monster with high life force, but that would require effort and time. So, the only choice left was me.
I snapped my fingers, and instantly, all the restraints binding them, including the magic circle beneath their feet, vanished into thin air. The dryads’ eyes shifted from wary to a hungry anticipation.
“Come on, don’t be shy,” I said with a hint of amusement.
Suddenly, vines shot out from their bodies, wrapping around me with swift, sinuous movements. I could feel the draining sensation as they tried to siphon my life force, but due to its immense volume, they barely made a dent.
Suddenly, I noticed a significant change in them. Their pupils dilated into heart shapes, and their breaths became ragged and uneven. A flush of red spread across their once-pale skin, making them look as if they were on fire with desire.
“W-What is this…?” Lixis gasped, her voice quivering with a mix of confusion and growing arousal. The others mirrored her reaction, their bodies trembling as the effects of the aphrodisiac began to take hold.
“It seems my life force has stirred something deep within you,” I said with a smirk. I had coated myself in a particularly potent aphrodisiac, one I had previously used on Sandra during her discipline. This drug was incredibly powerful, driving anyone to the brink of madness with desire if consumed. Although they weren’t directly ingesting it, the aphrodisiac was still seeping into them through their contact with my life force.
“Well, if you’re all so worked up,” I said smoothly, “why don’t you come closer and suck my life force directly? I’m sure it’ll satisfy your cravings.”
