In the belly of the beast

"Mo-mothrrrr" The thing intones, I feel the word vibrate through its stomach.

"She's fucking dead! Get up! Daddy is very angry with you! You need to eat to grow big and fucking strong you stupid girl get the fuck up its just a bell! The Butler/Augustus thing gets louder and louder screaming at Anastasia in fury and hatred.

I pull the bell with the ribbon on it off my horn and look at it, on the inside in stitching is Anastasia's name, ahh fuck.. I start to feel bad, this was once human? a little girl, turned into a monster by this fucked up butler, like the rest of its fucking pets that it made! The more I think, the more my anger builds.

"She was just a little girl you fucking monster! And you fucking turned her into this!! What gives you the right! YOU'RE JUST LIKE THEM MOO!!!"

"Moogirl calm down! We can't help them any other way except to kill them! nye!" Fuck I hate every part of this, this doesnt feel like a game, its still wailing for its mummy and it hurts deep inside, I know the feeling so well, all those time I cried for someone to save me, always too fucking late.

Anastasia starts moving under the constant harassment of her fathers words, moving side to side flipping back over onto its stomach, "No mo-mothhhrrr" They turn around throwing Oak off it with the force of it just moving, they look at me and the bell in my hand with its oversized bloodshot eyes, "n-noo! mothhrrrrr!!" A guttural purr of spite blasts out at me, the one holding its bell.

"Keeks and SunRock, I'm going to need you both to try to take off its limbs! Oak when I stop it try to keep its mouth pried open! ChewedBone keep that fucking butler distracted!" Before I even finish yelling to my companions, it charges over to me hellbent on eating me and it's precious bell. I can only run away from that gaping maw yelling over my shoulder as I go as fast as I can.

I can only regret not getting a speed potion, how the heck was I supposed to know that I would be neck deep in tongue at this point without my sexy new hoof protectors!! Running past the nobles clustered around the corners of the room, cowering and holding their own heads in their pissed pants, Anastasia scoops some a noble or 2 as a snack on the way following me close behind.

"Wall! Get ready moo!" I scream to the rest of the group and point at the opposite wall, away from as many nobles as possible, sacrifices that we are willing to make.

I grip against the solid stone ground and skid as I start moving around as soon as I get to the other side of the room, getting a warning that my stamina is getting low I quickly quaff a potion, making sure that I keep it above 10 so that my bone control doesn't revert.

It skids along with me as it tries to turn, its body slick against the stone, unable to grip with its skin constantly slipping off its own body. It rights itself quickly and lumbers after me again, gaining speed with every second. I want it to gain speed, faster and faster so that it can't stop, the wall is my goal.

"Get ready for a flip moo!" After 20 seconds of full running as hard as my bovine heart can take, its hot flapping tongue nearly sweeping me a few times, we make it to the wall. The only one with a not fucked up food table against it, Keeks is going to be really sad, but honestly at this point I could care less if it means putting Anastasia out of her misery.

I hit the table and put all my force behind it, I swear I hear a nyooo as I put all my strength behind it with my right leg, the force scattering all the food left over, my left leg catching against the wall, my body contorting backwards and over the sweeping mouth of Anastasia, catching with my spiked fists against its cheeks.

Using centrifugal force and its body rushing forward I flip her onto her back for a second time, "Get ready to slam moo!!" Its head follows me and hits the ground just before me, I feel it connect, reverberating throughout the entire room, then I hit too, feeling like I nearly broke a limb on the stone ground. "Fucking hell!! Oak Restrain! Girls get ready to cut those limbs off moo!!" Oak catches me, stopping me from sliding backwards and toppling over.

They rush forwards and start growing, with one of their vines throwing mana potion after mana potion down what I can only assume is their throat, everytime the potion cooldown resets. Their whole body is starting to get entangled with Anastasia, Keeks has started hacking away at its right side and SunRock its left, trying to be the operative word as with every slash its flesh grows back.

"Mo-tthhrrrr…" she cries out weakly, her eyes looking vacant and stunned from being rattled so badly against the ground. Finally Oak pries Anastasia's mouth open and I can see that it's uvula is the Core, a crystal core uvula, perfect for a flesh monster that eats people I guess.

"Keep her steady for as long as you can! I'm going in moo!" Oak makes me some pseudo stairs and I leap up them, instantly feeling the damp heat of its throat, past the teeth and squelch of the rotting and displacing flesh, every step a wound, ripped off as I take another.

Using a mana potion I activate Bone Control, there's so much that's been changed, but I need to get my footing.

—--------

Phew good timing, I focus on my right fist first, changing it back to just the hardened knuckles leaving my left spiked, then I feel the bones in my hooves, just like cow hooves its 2 bones going down and splits, I push through the bones with growths, sharpened points to help me leverage myself inside its throat, it instantly steady's me as its digging deep into the flesh, past the decaying parts.

Before I start swinging I pick out the coin of Nemesis, it's hot to the touch, "Please Nemesis, help me save this once little girl moo!"

That's about as far as I'm willing to risk, I doubt she will help me a second time, not one to let me get greedy! I raise my right fist, I can hear yelling outside, from the butler, probably telling anastasia to swallow me whole, "swallow this you fucking shit ass servant moo!!" My fist crashes down with all the force I can muster against the core.

A critical hit with the largest number I've seen yet pops up as I hear a cracking sound from the core.

< Deal 90 damage to Anastasia's Core (5 Base, Crit 250% + Weak 50% + Slugfest 20% + Coin Flip 150%) >

Anastasia screams, in pain this time, Oak yells at me through the gap "Butlerr just took damaggee, Itss workinngg, keep goinnnng!" As they are violently thrown back, she's recovered from the fall and she's not happy, I wouldn't be either if I got punched in the heart.

I pull back for another punch, whap. I'm thrown upside down, she's rolled and I'm still stuck in the ceiling, the core dangling in front of my face. Suddenly I feel gravity leave my body, "What the fuck is happening out there?!?! Ohh moo…" I can see outside its mouth, we aren't on the ground anymore, in fact we are directly over a group of nobles, her mouth open ready to consume and I'm in the way of her stomach.

Still weightless I quickly rotate myself and get upright, carving an abscess as deep into the mouth walls as I can, my feet on the bottom of Anastasia's mouth and stabbing into the roof with my left fist, the uvular dangling free infront of me, a punching bag ripe for me to use.

I give it a quick jab, it screams and instead of swallowing the nobles it lands awkwardly, squishing its prey like pancake mix. Their screams quickly cut off, with the rest around them thrown like rag dolls by the impact. I brace myself against the fall and manage to hold on with everything I've got.

< 129/160 People remaining >

I feel it heft its weight against the stone floor and that weightless feeling comes over me again, I brace against its throat and smash again and again trying to make it fuck up its jump again, the core bouncing back and forth like a speed weight, something I've used constantly in my training.

Once it bounces back the first time at me it seems to count as 'attacking' which is broken as hell, everytime I hit it I do over 10 damage if it's not a crit and 49 damage if it is.

We hit the ground again, this time on a larger pile of nobles, a few limbs and heads seem to make it through the small disgruntled gap in her maw, a see that a few tiny cracks on the crystal fix themselves, "Don't let it eat anything it heals its core moo!!" I hear what I can only assume is confirmation, Everytime I attack the core it closes its mouth, so I can only focus on what I can.

Just like the time with the bear I can feel it fighting back instinctively, its flesh has started crawling across my limbs, absorbing it into its body, making me one with it, the flesh pauses momentarily with every strike at the core and then pushes harder, my hoofs are completely covered up to my knees and my left arm has been sucked in up to the elbow, all I can do is keep punching, it feels way too similar to before, but at least there's nothing being shoved into my stomach!

< 105/160 People remaining >

My health is lowering slowly, but starting to pick up speed the more my body is consumed.

< Health 49/122 >

< Ingestion of body in progress. Please stop struggling >

< Become one with me, we will punish them all for what was done to me >

< If you stop struggling you can feel whole with me, at peace >

It's talking in my head, pleading to me, fuucckkk that. I quaff a potion and keep on punching.

My health is dropping more and more rapidly but I can feel that it's stopped jumping around. Its mouth is closed and fully clenched, hopefully being done by us and not Anastasia or the butler, that would be bad news, more bad news, its already pretty fucking bad.

I've stopped feeling just past my crotch and past my shoulder, next is my neck, will I stop breathing at that point?!

Crit, Crit, Crit.

"Mommthhrrrr…" it dies, thinking of its mother as it passes.

< Health, Mana and Stamina restored. >

Oh thank fuck…oh no… please no… I struggle against the flesh wrapped around my limbs, my health is still going down just like before, not again! I'm still stuck in the flesh cocoon, "Fucking get me out of here!! Keeks! MOOOO!!!!" I focus on my bones and suddenly feel it, < Bone Control Reversal > after the whole fight I finally hit below 10 stamina deactivating my ability, so much for sharpening my bones to get me out of this one.

I hear the maw opening as vines push through it, Ugh Oak my savior, I'd kiss you if you weren't a weird tree dude! Keeks saunters through, she's got a shit eating grin on her face, "Don't. Don't you fucking dare moo!"

"I knew you were kinky but I didn't take you for one of them vore girls! Nyehehe!" I struggle against the flesh wishing I could slam her down, and not in a big style.

"Keeks, I swear, cut this shit off me before I show you what these horns can really moo!"

"Ugh I can't have any fun!" She actually helps this time, last time not being able to smash through the bones, slicing is definitely more her expertise.

…

Finally making it out of Anastasia, she isn't disappearing, I can see why, the butler has pulled themselves up on the big throne, panting and holding their body, covered in gashes, sparkles and chunky blood dripping from their mouth, im hoping they felt every punch to Anastasia's core.

"Haha… ha… you think that's… enough to stop the reckoning?..." With every breath in they bring up more blood, "We will prevail… and the world will be brought to its knees… hahahaha cough cough If only I got to see it all burn…." They close their eyes, blood spilling out from every pore, a cruel smile stuck on their face.

Keeks walks up to them and spits on their face. "Fuck you fucking scum"

------

Stamina at 0 I collapse to the floor, thoroughly done for this fun trip of gore and vore… the rest of the group sit down around me offering congratulations for finishing it off, everyone played their own part, Keeks looks around and sighs, all the food is either thrown around or covered in goop and blood, not fit for eating anymore.

I enjoy a quick lie down until I feel Keeks getting restless, desperate to look at the loot and so I let her off the leash.
