"There must be a hideout somewhere close," Vienna whispered.

She wiped a line of sweat from her brow.

Her thin tavern blouse clung tight to her curves because of the heat, and her nipples poked clearly through the wet fabric.

"The main square is crawling with them. We need to thin the herd before we can cross."

Kai nodded and gripped the hilt of his blessed dagger.

"You spot them, and I will strike. Your creative distractions are working perfectly so far."

She smirked and leaned against the brick wall.

"Tavern tricks never fail. Watch and learn."

They edged toward the open market square and carefully walked past overturned wooden stalls that reeked of spoiled fruit and cheap wine.

Three thralls shuffled ahead in the dirt road.

A burly thug led two skinnier men.

All three were pale and ragged, their cocks bulging as their hungry eyes scanned the empty street.

Vienna stepped out boldly into the moonlight, letting her hips sway and her skirt swish loudly.

"Hey, big boy," Vienna called out with a sweet, teasing voice.

"Are you looking for a real woman?"

She turned around and bent over slightly to flash a smooth cheek of her ass.

The thug snarled loudly.

He lunged forward and grabbed her hair with a rough grip, yanking her close to his chest.

"Mine," the thug grunted, baring his dirty fangs for a neck bite.

’Gotcha,’ Kai thought, circling wide behind the broken market stalls.

Vienna played her part perfectly.

She moaned loud and faked absolute ecstasy, crying out for him to take her.

The performance drew the other two skinny thralls closer.

They stumbled forward with their hands groping the empty air toward her chest. The thug opened his mouth to bite her soft skin.

Vienna sharply elbowed him right in the gut, staggering the big man backward.

Kai lunged from the shadows.

His dagger sliced straight through the thug’s hamstring in one smooth motion.

The big man dropped to his knees with a loud howl as two skinny thralls realized what was happening and lunged at Vienna.

She spun out of the way, her skirt flaring high, and kicked the first one right between the legs.

Kai was already there.

He delivered a quick thrust to the thrall’s throat.

The creature gurgled and collapsed, and Kai twisted his blade to stab the last skinny man in the chest. The big thug recovered enough to swing a wild fist.

Kai simply ducked under the clumsy punch and plunged the dark steel straight into the monster’s heart. Black goo bubbled up from the wound.

[Triple Thrall Kill: +180 EXP]

[Greed Feast Triggered: Pack Alpha Essence Acquired]

[Effect: +15% Strength for 1 hour]

Vienna shook out her hair and grinned at him.

"Three down. Your timing is solid gold."

’Using her as bait is the hottest assist ever,’ Kai thought, admiring the view.

’She definitely gets bonus points for the ass flash.’

The square was looking much clearer now.

They poked their heads into a small baker’s shop.

The wooden door was left ajar, and loud moans echoed from inside the kitchen. Kai peeked around the doorframe.

A female thrall was riding the edge of a flour-covered table, her fingers buried deep in her own lap as she chanted loud obscenities.

A male thrall stood nearby, humping a heavy sack of flour with sloppy, desperate grunts.

"That is two easy targets," Kai murmured into Vienna’s ear.

Vienna reached down and tossed a small pebble against the wall.

The sharp clink made both thralls perk up.

They stopped their strange activities and shambled out into the alleyway.

Vienna backed up slowly and pretended to trip, accidentally popping the top button of her tight blouse.

Her boobs spilled out into the open air.

"Oops," Vienna giggled, batting her eyelashes.

"Do you like what you see?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The male thrall lunged at her first.

Kai sidestepped out of the dark bakery, gutting the creature mid-leap with a brutal upward slash.

The female thrall screamed and clawed at Vienna’s face. Vienna parried the wild attack with an iron fireplace poker she picked up earlier.

Kai stepped in and finished the fight with a clean slice across the neck.

[Double Down: +100 EXP]

[New Buff Acquired: Baker’s Lust]

[Effect: Minor Stamina Tick]

’The system is glitching in a very funny way today,’ Kai thought, reading the glowing blue text.

’Whatever. I am not going to complain about stacking free buffs.’

They moved deeper into the square toward a dried-up stone fountain surrounded by broken debris.

Four thralls were busy having a public orgy right in the dry basin.

Two women were tangled together, making loud squishing noises, while two men jerked themselves above them.

They all moaned in a unified, disturbing chorus about wanting more.

’This village center is a literal fuck-fest,’ Kai thought, shaking his head.

’The devs who designed this world were total perverts.’

"That is a big group," Vienna whispered, hiding behind a wooden barrel.

"Do we flank them?"

Kai eyed an abandoned merchant cart sitting near the road.

"You lure them toward the well path. I will pick them off from behind the cart when they chase you."

She nodded and strode out into the open square with total confidence.

"Fresh meat, you sluts! Who wants to play with my tavern tits first?"

The four thralls broke off their twisted activities immediately.

They groaned and scrambled over the edge of the fountain to run toward her.

One of the female thralls reached out and grabbed Vienna’s bare arm.

Vienna shoved her back hard and yelled for them to wait their turn.

She led them in a single-file line right past the abandoned cart.

Kai exploded out from his hiding spot.

His first slash downed the trailing man instantly. The second woman turned around to face him, but he stabbed her quick and kicked her body away.

The two leaders spun around in confusion.

Vienna swung her heavy iron poker, cracking the man right in the knees. Kai cleaned up the mess with a fast double-tap to their throats.

[Quad Kill: +250 EXP]

[Greed Feast Triggered: Orgy Core Acquired]

[Effect: Aphro Aura Active. Allies gain +20% Arousal and Stamina]

’Harem mode is officially activating,’ Kai thought with a warm smirk.

’And her tits look even better with that glow around her.’

They moved into the village proper, walking past row houses with broken doors hanging off their hinges, seeing an older thrull sitting in the middle, jerking off violently.
