Guide Book Entry
Defenders of the mamono realms that ride on black horses and wield the sword
- Dark Knight - Overview
A "dark knight" of Lescatie is one who has been appointed by the Fourth Mamono Realm Princess Druella or the Seven Princesses and has been given the noble title of "knight". Dark knights, who rode mamono realm horses and fought with mamono realm weapons, were responsible for protecting the country so that the people of Lescatie could indulge in pleasure for a long time. These knights were the brave heroes known in Lescatie. The lives of the knights remain as they were before they were turned into monsters, and there seem to be many children who admire the dark knights. At the same time, figures in black armor, moving across the battlefield on horror-inspiring horses, are a symbol of terror to soldiers of a hostile faith, which is taken advantage of by dragons and heroes of monsters.
In addition, the dark knight can go on an expedition to turn a country or a human city into mamono realm, repeating the exploits of Druella and the Seven Princesses of Lescatie. The expedition mission requires becoming Druella's chosen swordsman to fill the world with the happiness they will bring along with the fallen people who turned into monsters, spreading the mamono realm so that they too will have the honor of becoming dark knight. But the highest possible reward for a dark knight without a husband is to find a lover on an expedition.
- Dark Knight in Battle
Rushing across the battlefield on hellish horses, the girls, who have long practiced swordsmanship and athletic techniques, fight on the front lines and take the greatest pride in fighting the enemy's swordsmen. The swordsmanship and spear skills they use in combat are based on the school of former Lescatie knights who became monsters, including also the fantastic power of charming humans as succubi. Whether it is a light sword that moves in strokes along with a supple body, or a long and sharp heavy blade that seems to flow in the glare of light, the dark knight who bravely rushes into battle will have a beautiful and elegant appearance. Even executing simple sword strokes, they will have a beautiful and mesmerizing appearance, displaying attractive limbs with each gesture to charm the enemy and raise their plump flesh. Their swords are the devilish weapons, seducing the enemy in battle and completely captivating their partner's heart when the battle reaches its climax. In addition, combining superior blade skills with succubus strength, they are well versed in techniques such as reading their opponent's movements and mind, taking the enemy's sword away, and distracting the enemy from the battle. These abilities are especially acute when a monster is trying to get her husband in battle, for which she may purposely force her opponent to fight with swords, as this is their way of seducing a man and making him her husband. In addition, although each possesses an inherently strong mamono individualistic personality, they are excellent fighters in a group and cooperate easily with other monster species. However, it seems that the roots of this cooperation lie in the joint struggle for each husband.
- Social Status and Origin
The order of dark knights is based on the original knighthood of the "Lescatian State" that existed before the monsterization of the country. Because of the nature of mamono, no man opposed to them died during the invasion of the monsters and no knight of the Order died in the Fall of the Kingdom. This includes the defeated private armies of the nobility, which were left nearly untouched when the state was turned into a mamono realm. Many of the dark knights are former humans who turned into monsters and joined the dark knights by becoming monsters. It used to be very difficult for people who did not belong to noble families and merchants to become knights, except those with outstanding skills. But after monsterization, wide doors opened for all aspiring knights, regardless of status or wealth, as long as they were willing to undergo serious training and examinations.
As a rule, in human lands the oath of allegiance to country and to the king was seen as a manifestation of chivalry. In Lescatie, oaths of allegiance to one's husband and becoming a loyal knight only to one's beloved were considered appropriate manifestations of chivalry. Earlier, when the army of the chief god's church tried to recapture Lescatie together with the ommyoji warriors from Zipangu, the monsters fighting for their men were ordinary commoners, but they were rewarded with a title from the hands of Lady Druella. The Mamono seem to regard the dark knights as such, not for loyalty to country or ruler, but for loyalty to their precious being.
In addition, dark knights consider it the norm to follow the "chivalrous path," as do the current human knights. Even after they became mamono, the values of Lescatie from the days when it was an Order State were inherited in the "way of the knight." That is why knights adhere to virtuous and honest behavior, believing it right to defend the weak as an example of nobility to others. Some of these values are characteristic of both humans and monsters, but the content of "nobility" and "honesty" seems to be very different. Human values suggest that virtues are the great strength of the knight going into battle, which is thinking of country and weak people. This is thought to be the ideal image. In Lescatie, however, dark knights go into battle to gain days of intercourse with their captured husband. Some, of course, reward their husbands with the status of their lord if they show a little resistance in bed. That is, you may get a little more than usual if you play an active role, such as getting more time to work. But those who take advantage of this, remember: a perfect dark knight will only be considered as one when she uses herself to satisfy the carnal desires of her master. The mamono realm of Lescatie is a land full of pleasure and passion, which is considered beautiful to mamono. To the monsters who live there, the character of the dark knight, who is sincere in the love she shows for her husband, is the perfect role model.
But it seems that many of the monster children find the "virtues" part boring.
In addition, even the knights themselves find such noble behavior unnecessary. Such monsters have their own chivalrous pride, for them, having the colors of human desire on their body is an indicator of their dignified behavior and chivalrous gallantry.
Mamono Realm Weapon User (★☆☆)
The skill of understanding mamono realm weapons and mamono realm ores allows you to use magical ore weapons more effectively.
Dark knights equip themselves with magic ore armor because it is a means not only to fight, but also to get a husband. Knowing your own equipment is an important and fundamental skill.
Magical ores such as Mamono Silver, Mamono Iron and Dragonium are metals altered by mamono mana. The substance inside such metals is a compound of the mass of metal and magic. Weapons made with magical ores have one thing in common: they do not harm the opponent's body when attacked, and therefore cannot become a murder weapon, instead hitting the magical energy of the opponent. A magical wound is not accompanied by pain or bleeding, but the mamono mana seeps into the body, bringing a feeling of heat and weakness. If it is a deep wound, the place struck will not be able to move, and if it is a blow that would be fatal with an ordinary weapon, the body will not be able to move on its own, sometimes resulting in fainting. There is also the possibility of causing a human woman to monsterize because of the mamono mana emitted by the weapon.
In addition, there is another common feature: it is easier to impose magical powers on mamono realm ore. dark knights fight using their magical abilities in training with weapons, developing a technique whereby they infuse weapons with more mamono mana and use them more effectively in combat. If you improve this technique, the magical power contained in the weapon becomes more and more complex, there is an opportunity to use the "Magic Sword", which creates a variety of magical effects and attributes. In addition, by attacking the enemy with more penetrating mamono mana along with a strong magical attack, even a minor wound becomes "lethal," allowing you to quickly knock out and maneuver your opponent. Therefore, the described technique of using the power of the mamono realm weapon, as well as the simple qualities of the weapon, is very important for the user.
Succubus Combat Dance (★☆☆)
This is a technique for showing the seductiveness of your body to your opponent in battle and tempting him. It is the basis of "succubus swordsmanship" and "succubus spearmanship," which combines monster's beauty that captivates all humans with fencing techniques. When fighting the dark knight, the movements of their sword-holding hands become enchanting and attractive with every swing of the sword along with the beautiful swaying of the feminine body's charms as they dodge an attack - all their movements in battle become erotic and captivating, seducing the people who oppose them. Even monster battles exist only so that they can be used to seduce people and get them if there is no other way to do it. And, thanks to the existence of this technique, even without the final blow it is possible to captivate the human heart and take over the mind, simply by fighting. Lescatie's strongest hero, Wilmarina Noscrim, is a master of this technique, and it is said that she can neutralize several opponents simply by demonstrating fighting moves, though she has no interest in showing her charms to anyone but her husband. It is one of the common fighting techniques of the dark knights and the technique is widely used by monster warriors and the Mamono Lord's army, not just the military forces of Lescatie.
Succubus Provoke (★★☆)
A technique that provokes a man with particularly attractive and spectacular magical combat movements, attracting the male gaze and attention to monsters. By deliberately and quickly enticing male opponents, knights can direct their gaze and attention wherever they wish. That is, it is possible to manipulate to some extent the combat lunges of an opponent to avoid a blow by deflecting a man's blade so that it slashes the air. Mages whose concentration is hampered will fail and spells will fly in an unplanned direction. It also distracts the eyes of your enemies who are targeting your allies. Also, with repeated use of this technique, even an enemy soldier with another important mission can forget about other things just by looking at the knights. As you can see, it is even possible to catch a man in the middle of a battle on his own movements, interrupting them in your charms.
This is one of the succubus techniques. Originally it was regularly used on bad boys, for example, to get a man to kiss you or massage your breasts without saying anything.
Melty Parrying (★★☆)
A technique of interacting with an opponent's weapon, gripping a male opponent's sword and body. Monsters' strong and flexible arms are mainly designed to caress the human body underneath their underwear, and their enchanting hand movement skills were developed to give pleasure to male instruments. And these unsurpassed skills are combined with advanced knightly swordsmanship. After touching the enemy's weapon, one can not only parry the attack, but also take away the enemy's weapon, and with one's own hands climb into his underwear or grasp his body so as to saddle and guide the male body into one's bosom. In this way, not only weapons collide with weapons, but bodies intertwine with each other. Touch your opponent's hard body and run your hand over it, shower it with heavy, sweet breath and words of love in their ear. There seem to be many different things that can be used with this technique that will result in victory on the side of the succubus. After all, this technique, which is used by devils and has been adopted by the dark knights, is beautiful and marvelous. And if it is used by a master, it is said, even the weapon will be used in capturing the knight.
Poles Dance (★☆☆)
This is a method of seducing an opponent in battle through the free and mesmerizing use of a spear like a pole and likening one's body to a snake wrapped around it. Spears made of mamono realm ore do not have to be thrust into the ground, they can be fixed in any position in the air. And since there is no need to pull the spear out, you can conduct your attacks without interrupting the movement of the dance. Although the technique is the same as the Succubus Combat Dance, but with the spear, the sometimes lewd movements of the hands and tongue on the spear are much more likely to inflame the opponent's libido. The disorderly, irregular and lewd movements of the spear-dancing succubus are impossible to predict, as well as the subsequent actions, which confuses the adversary. The man's lust will only increase along with the strong stimulating movements he sees, and he will continue to watch. And because of the excitement, he is said to be unable to maintain normal concentration of thoughts.
This technique specializes in showing your flexible and beautiful body, which all monsters possess, but if you are of the Lamia family, able to present your whole body supple and flexible, you can increase the effect even more. Echidnas, who have the highest level of strength among Lamia, and the master warrior guardian lance Mersé, who is one of the seven princesses of Lescatie, can use not only body movements, but also control the movements of the lance as if it were a living snake mesmerizing other people. And this snake goes from gentle movements to a deadly attack in the blink of an eye, one that goes through armor and seems to shake the ground.
Magic Slash (★☆☆)
The skill of attacking with magical power placed in a weapon by passing it through it.
As the magical cut passes through physical defenses such as metal armor, you must defend against it with magic to prevent this attack. "Magical cut" is a basic technique in handling a "magic blade" and a simple technique to magically crush an opponent. Because of its simplicity, the range, speed and strength of the blow depend on the user's magic power and skill in using it. It is also possible to give different effects to this punch, such as "make the enemy aroused" or "give the enemy great pleasure and make him climax instantly" if the user has a good command of magical powers and is fond of magic. This technique is used by fighters who are at some distance from each other. It is not a technique that can be used in combat close to the opponent, as it requires some swing. However, sword masters who specialize in this technique seem to be able to apply it with a little preliminary movement and use it at close range, such as putting a magical attack into a chopping blow. Physical protection or armor will not matter to such a specialist.
In addition, a superb user of the "magic blade," the archdevil Parshe, who is a master of this technique, can boast before the other dark knights the ability to shoot sickles of magical fire from afar with great speed. The rain of sharp sickles containing dense mamono mana is a serious threat to the enemy. But Parshe seems to be beloved in the Order of Dark Knights, because of her appearance and character she resembles a child playing when swinging her blade.
Erosion Sword (★★☆)
This is one of the deadly techniques the dark knight wields, compressing mana and releasing it through the sword. The blow of a blade filled with concentrated mamono mana becomes fatal if it reaches directly into the body. The greatest peculiarity of this technique is that it is based on the assumption that the opponent will defend himself against it.
Dense magical energy is transmitted to the weapons and armor with which the enemy is protected, and from them to the enemy's body, affecting his essence. In addition, when mamono mana enters armor and weapons, it can change them to the metals of the mamono realm. In other words, if the enemy defends himself with a blade, it becomes an non-fatal mamono realm blade. If an enemy uses enchanted armor to avoid depravity and loss of power, that armor becomes mamono realm armor, which absorbs mamono mana. In this way you can turn an enemy trapped in such magic into an incubus.
In a battle between knights, the enemy's blows are usually blocked with his sword, but in a battle with the dark knight it becomes dangerous because of the existence of this technique.
Blade of the Eclipse (★★★)
This is a fatal technique of the dark knights that allows you to calm your mind, and becomes available for use only when pure love prevails in your heart. A sword strike that carries pure heart desire has the power to crush your opponent's heart, not his body, spiritual strength or armor. The dark knight's desperate desire is transmitted to the blade, melts the mind and destroys hostility, turning all enemy attacks into a sexual desire to pounce on the dark knight.
The strength of this skill becomes greater the stronger and purer the dark knight's desire, and its effect increases the more strongly the enemy hates the monsters. Because of its nature, this technique is supremely powerful: a strong and heavy opponent who thinks he is fighting an evil monster faces the desire coming from the depths of his enemy's heart to be his companion and fill their hearts with love. In addition, this technique can also be used well against a hostile human woman, converting her aggression into a desire to turn into a monster with your help. The more hostile to monsters and warlike a woman she was, the more effective this technique will be and the more obscene a monster she will become in the end.
Oath of Duel (★★☆)
A powerful magic that creates a space where other people cannot interfere when proclaiming your affiliation and name to a combat partner you wish to duel with. Other than the two people targeted by the spell, others cannot enter, attacks and spells from outside are repelled or absorbed. On the other hand, attacks from the inside will also not come out and both duelists will not be able to leave until their battle is resolved.
This is one of the fundamental spells that monsters can use unconsciously with "people repelling magic," the effect of which is activated by an oath to fight their opponent in a duel. "Repelling magic" consists in the fact that when a monster engages in intimacy with a loved one, their essence and mamono mana mix with each other and the overflowing energy of the couple activates these spells, which create an aura of inaccessibility, that is, magic that eliminates the interference that prevents the intercourse. It is because of this effect that monsters who make love to their prey on the battlefield do not become the enemy's target, their invisibility due to the magic. "The Oath of Duel" is not a sexual act, but a spell that will not interfere with the battle. However, because of the nature of the magic that became the source, once you defeat your opponent in a duel, this magic will not simply dissipate unless you and your companion vow to be together.
Sometimes, even if your duel ends, the spell won't dissipate and you won't be able to get out. In this case, it may be because the dark knight has been thinking too much about the battle, assuming that "after the battle we will be together forever." In that case, in order to get out, you would have to make love at the place of the fight.
Oath of the Dark Knight (★★★)
The effectiveness of magic can be increased through vows and dark knights also gain power through oaths. "Dark Knight's Oath" is a magic vow that dramatically increases the physical characteristics of the body and the magic power of the knight who made the oath. Dark knights who already have a husband that awaits their return already have magical advantages because they have made the promise to "make their companion feel good." In addition, the more loyal and devoted to her husband the vow uttered, the stronger the effect of the oath she feels, particularly those who "after sucking her husband's nethers make sure to swallow his sweet semen" or "devote themselves to her husband whenever he has sexual desire" or perform another indecent oath, receive greater power from the vow. In other words, by having the "sincere" demeanor of a dark knight and the spirit of a "nobleman," we have the ability to increase our potential.
In addition, the vow of "what I will do with my husband after the battle is over" also gives great power to the dark knight. Unmarried knights who vow to "reveal their affections to a man when they return from this battle" before going into battle always return with impressive results and will be graced with a husband.
Legion of Succubi (★★☆)
Acting together in a squad of dark knights, you can increase each other's charm and defeat enemy troops more effectively. This is because the "Succubus Combat Dance" used by the dark knights has a mutually reinforcing effect not only on its own, but also complements the charm of monster allies, creating a mesmerizing love spirit around the entire unit. The sight of a group of beautiful succubus ladies, even those just marching, is breathtaking. It is like the performance of a beautiful group of dancers on a catwalk that completely captivates a troop of people.
Monster cooperation is usually unavoidable, as each of us is bound by some sort of alliance with the rest of us to obtain another human being. But it is the talented dark knight, endowed with magical powers, who demonstrate the highest level of cooperation. Even the monster army, which reports directly to the Mamono lord, does not have as many units with such a high degree of skill and leadership as the dark knight of Lescatie. This is because many of the Knights of the Mamono Realm of Lescatie used to be human. It is also believed to be due to the high degree of military prowess of the land of Lescatie, which has become the cornerstone of present-day Lescatie.
Loyalty Resonance (★★★)
Fighting together, several knights who share the same husband will amplify each other's fighting power and have spectacular magical moves. Having a common love and the same will to return to the same man again, thanks to which they have a special bond during battle, the knights understand each other's thoughts and movements without words, so as not to waste time on unnecessary conversations.
Spending their nights together, they develop their skills through close contact with each other. A harem formed by several dark knights is unlikely to have strong individual skills, but would make an excellent fighting unit when fighting as a team.
The monsters who make love to human men accumulate mamono mana in them to make them incubi. During this, they also mix their mamono mana with the man's essence and share it with each other, increasing in quantity and subsequently gaining even more power. When one man becomes the husband of more than one monster girl, a multitude of mamono mana will pass through the same man and mix in his body, also circulating in his wives. Even if they are not dark knights, the monsters in the harem will become more powerful because of the mutually reinforcing effect, but will not be able to read each other's minds in battle and fight as one. This is because in the harem, the desires that the mamono turn to their husband are disparate, and this power is a shared value of the knights, who hold a common desire for their husband in the form of loyalty to their master.
Though not dark knights, the "Princesses of Lescatie" who share a common husband have the same power that Loyalty Resonance gives when they come together as a whole. It is even said that their combined power surpasses even that of Druella, comparable to that of the elder deities. They are allies, united by a common love for their husband, but they also seem to be very friendly with each other as best friends. They are powerful great figures in their own right and can increase each other's power, like the knights one of the princesses was. This seems to be due to the extremely great fortitude of their husband, who is the faithful spouse of these seven.
Mamono Realm Horse Riding (★☆☆)
The skill of successfully riding a mamono realm horse. A dark knight mastering this technique excels at fighting on horseback without losing her balance when swinging a large weapon, and can fight bravely and dynamically even while saddled on a horse.
The secret of this technique is in the hips of monsters. Most mamonos, including succubi, pride themselves on being the most adept at giving pleasure to a human male by riding him from above. Of course, the monsters' hips are initially used by them to wrap their arms around a man. After all, mamonos are good at delivering pleasure with their hips and are perfectly adept at their movements. Regardless of how strong the body's bursts of pleasure are from the male genitals, they continue to ride on top of them to give pleasure to their husband, moving their hips and keeping their balance even when unconscious. Moreover, if the race possesses wings or a tail, they will also wiggle them deftly to be able to keep their balance on the person they ride. In fact, succubus wings shake the waist a lot during coitus with a man, so they grow on the hips, not on the back, to hold balance during these movements.
"Hip movements," developed by the dark knights during battles on horseback, are used by women in the horsewoman position during sex with their husbands and the hips, which move violently up and down with particular force while doing so, provide even more pleasure. In addition, the hip movements, which are further practiced by knights while riding mamono realm horses, will further strengthen the dark knight on horseback. Although it is a horsemanship skill that is developed through repetition, Lady Dark Knight Vermut is still unmarried, but has a reputation as an excellent horsewoman. Lady Vermut is considered unsurpassed at sexually swaying her hips as she moves, especially when she rides a horse. It is said that it is simply impossible to look away from her, the sight of her can ignite desire in human men more than any other rider in Lescatie.
Reinforcing the Mamono Realm Horse (★★☆)
A technique that dramatically increases a horse's combat capabilities by transmitting magical energy. It can also change a mamono realm horse's breed to a more highly evolved species.
The mamono realm horse is a mamono realm beast capable of absorbing mamono mana. To produce a mamono realm horse enhancement, you need to have magical abilities of a monster rider and demonstrate your magical power to the mamono realm horse, it is also necessary that he recognizes her as "beloved". To do this, of course, it is important to keep in touch with the horse for a long period of time and, in addition, it is important to practice with the stallion the monster rider's learned magical abilities. The latter will help to develop the magical power of the rider to a higher quality, making it more palatable, which will also help to increase the time spent with the husband. Other than that, the most effective way is to generate a lot of magic near the horse, i.e. to ride it with her husband. The magical power that grows when riding with your husband on the horse mixes the joy of riding with the magical power of monsters, which makes it extremely sweet and its melting taste captivates the horse. For this reason, it seems to be customary among the dark knights who ride horses to ride together on holidays on a mamono realm horse.
When the beast remembers the taste of magical power in this way, the mamono realm horse will accept the energy given by the mistress without resistance. If you transfer your power to it while running through the battlefield, you can instantly increase the horse's leg power and accelerate quickly or even jump over a huge rock.
