Chapter 127: Chapter 49: A Real Succubus Has Goat Horns and Hooves? It’s Fine, My Tastes Are Heavy
"Succubus... Succubus..."
Su Xuan muttered the mission’s objective, his eyes glinting with deep thought. He sensed that the Succubus’s appearance was not only connected to the Demon Race sightings in the Star Kingdom, but also held some secret link to Edith.
On top of that, the reward for this special commission was a blue-quality Recruitment Scroll, which had genuinely surprised him.
’Either way, when it comes to matters of the Abyss, asking Edith directly is the right move.’
Su Xuan stood up and waved to the Guild members. "Everyone, get ready. We’re heading out for the mission."
"As you command, President~"
...
At that very moment, in a remote village, a Succubus with dark purple skin was draining Life Magic Power to her heart’s content.
Around her were piled rows of shriveled male corpses, their bodies pale and bloodless from the loss of their Life Magic Power. The Succubus, however, had absorbed so much Life Magic Power that her abdomen was swollen and bloated.
"Ah~ That was absolutely delicious~"
The Succubus, Sana, licked her lips, her eyes glinting with satisfaction and excitement.
"Sana, don’t forget your mission!"
Just then, a dark purple bat flew to Sana’s side, reminding her not to forget her mission.
"Alright, alright!"
Sana stood up from the corpse and said with a cold sneer, "I know what to do. This time, I’ll definitely make that traitorous bastard pay!"
"But ever since you escaped the Abyss, you’ve been devouring the Life Magic Power of those humans! Do you even remember what you’re supposed to be doing?" the dark purple bat demanded.
"Hahaha! I can’t help it! After that incident, I hadn’t tasted a man in decades. I really couldn’t hold back!" Sana said with a wicked grin. "If it were you, you wouldn’t be able to resist either, Mary."
"Stop wasting time! We’re here to find that traitor and get revenge! Go find her! Betraying our race, murdering our own kind—we’ll make her pay for that in blood!"
"Wait! Someone’s coming!"
Suddenly, Sana sensed the presence of approaching humans, and her smile froze. But a second later, she bared her fangs. "Mary! I smell top-quality food! This scent! Ah~ It’s wonderful~! What kind of man could give off such a delicious aroma~ I’m going to eat him all up right now!"
"Hey! Don’t forget your mission!"
"Don’t rush me! After I’m done with this one, I’ll go take care of that bastard Edith!"
...
"Mr. Su Xuan, why is this village so quiet?"
Ivsha looked at Su Xuan in confusion, her eyes filled with worry.
"I’m not sure either."
Su Xuan shook his head. Since they arrived at the mission location, they had found no trace of any living people in the village. Every house had its doors and windows shut tight, as if it were a deserted ghost town.
"There’s no sign of life left in this village," Rosaline explained to the group.
"Could they all have been killed by that Succubus?"
Su Xuan murmured, his eyes narrowing slightly.
As he was lost in thought, a wisp of Magic Power suddenly struck without warning. It touched the Mind Pendant hanging from his chest, causing a violent tremor!
"She’s here!"
Su Xuan immediately warned the group.
Then, a piercing laugh cut through the air. The laugh was filled with mockery and evil, as if it came from a Demon of the Abyss.
"Ah~! What a delicious scent~~ You... you’re a true delicacy!" As the laughter echoed, a dark purple Succubus suddenly appeared on a rooftop. She was lying lazily on her side, lips curled into a smirk as she stared mockingly at Su Xuan.
"The target has appeared!" Rosaline immediately drew her Oath Sword, and the other members instantly entered a battle stance.
Su Xuan, however, stared intently at the Succubus on the roof, his eyes glinting with vigilance.
This Succubus’s appearance was remarkably different from Ivsha’s. If Ivsha still retained more human features after reverting to her true form, then the Succubus before him leaned more toward demonic characteristics.
Her dark purple skin had a strange, wrinkled texture, and her twisted goat horns and hooves gave off an unsettling feeling. However, her figure was truly outstanding, but her face... was a bit of a turn-off.
’I know this is what a true Succubus looks like. Ones like Ivsha and Edith are the exceptions. A Succubus living in the cruel Abyss could never have the delicate body of a beautiful maiden. Their forms are more demonic, filled with Power and ferocity.’
’Of course, my tastes are a little... intense. Even if Ivsha and the others had hooves, it’s not like I couldn’t accept it...’
Ahem~
"I so want to taste you right now~ my delicious little meal~" Sana stuck out her long, pointed tongue, lightly licking her lips as her eyes radiated an intense interest in Su Xuan.
Suddenly, her gaze fell upon Ivsha, who was standing beside Su Xuan.
"Hm!?"
Because the divine aura emanating from Ivsha was so strong, Sana hadn’t initially noticed her identity.
But when she saw Ivsha, she immediately shouted in anger, "It’s you! You traitor!"
"You know me?"
A hint of confusion crossed Ivsha’s face. She had never had any contact with other Succubi. ’Why would one of my own kind recognize me?’
"Hahaha! I can’t believe I found you so easily! Die, Edith!"
Sana spread her wings and immediately launched an attack on Ivsha.
Facing the ferocious assault, Rosaline swiftly charged out, sword leveled, and struck accurately at the flying Succubus.
"Get lost!"
Sana barked, her sharp claws igniting with deep black flames as she swung them fiercely at Rosaline.
CLANG!
The sound of clashing metal echoed through the air!
The battle between Rosaline and Sana erupted in an instant. Their figures moved like lightning, a blur of flashing blades too fast for the eye to follow. Across the battlefield, black flames raged, so fiercely it seemed they could engulf the entire village.
’A Level 35 Succubus?’
Seeing Sana’s stat panel, Su Xuan’s expression turned grave. This Succubus was stronger than he had expected.
[Sana (Epic)]
Level: 35 (0/14,000)
Race: Succubus
Power: 650 / Agility: 550 / Magic Power: 550 / Physique: 600
Growth: 10 (Gains a 10-point boost to All Attributes per level)
Skills: (Expand)
Status: Magic Power Sated
Her Attributes were far superior to Rosaline’s, and after feeding, she even had a special status: Magic Power Sated. Not even Rosaline could guarantee victory against her.
"Rosaline! We’re here to help!"
Fuli and Flora immediately began chanting, launching Fire and Water Element magic attacks at Sana. Though it caused some damage, the effect wasn’t significant.
"Don’t even think about moving!"
Alice immediately summoned her Ice Silk Snow Thread, tightly binding the Succubus’s wings.
However, the next moment, black flames erupted from Sana’s body, instantly burning through Alice’s Ice Silk Snow Thread.
"How could this be!?" Alice’s delicate brows knitted together. She had never seen such strange flames before.
"What a pain! I’ll kill you all first!" Sana immediately switched targets and flew toward Alice and the others.
She was so fast that in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Alice.
"Die!"
Sana thrust out her claws, slashing violently at Alice.
"Don’t even think about it!"
In the nick of time, Ivsha finished chanting her High-tier Magic—Fallen Radiance. A phantom image of a Nun woven from Holy Light instantly engulfed Sana’s figure.
"Damn it! Divine Magic!"
BOOM!
With a deafening explosion, Sana was completely consumed by the Shadow of the Holy Light, vanishing from everyone’s sight.
"Is it over?"
Everyone turned their gaze toward the Holy Radiance Burst, hoping that Ivsha’s Magic had seriously injured their opponent.
"Watch out!"
Rosaline suddenly noticed a figure moving within the Holy Light and immediately rushed over to push Alice aside.
The next second, a jet of black flame shot out from the Holy Light, flying toward Rosaline.
However, Rosaline was immune to fire, so she didn’t bother to dodge.
BOOM!
The Flame slammed into the ground, blasting a huge crater.
Immediately after, a sharp claw shot out of the Holy Light and struck Rosaline’s armor heavily.
Struck by the fierce blow, Rosaline stumbled back a few steps. When she steadied herself, an astonishing dent had appeared on her armor. However, it hadn’t caused much damage to her body, because the hardness of her Crystal Structure far surpassed that of steel.
"Damn it! Damn it! How do you have divine Power! You’re not Edith!"
Sana charged out of the Holy Light, roaring at Ivsha with a face full of fury.
At this moment, she was covered in blood, and the power of the Holy Light had caused many cracked wounds to appear on her dark purple skin.
"Who is Edith?"
Ivsha was completely bewildered; she had never heard that name before.
"You’ll pay for this!"
Sana realized her opponents were too tough and immediately spread her wings to escape.
"You’re not getting away!"
Rosaline wasn’t about to give Sana that chance. The Soul Light Wings on her back unfurled, and her Oath Sword bloomed with white moonlight as she slashed at Sana’s back.
"Aargh!"
With a cry of pain, Sana fell to the ground.
She struggled to get up, only to find the white moonlight coming at her again.
"Damn it!"
Sana gritted her teeth and quickly retreated, knowing full well that in her current state, she stood no chance of defeating the people in front of her.
’I have to think of something...’
’I’ve got it!’
Suddenly, Sana’s gaze fell on Su Xuan.
’This man is the weakest in this Adventurer party, but he has the highest status. Plus, he’d be the perfect food to replenish my Magic Power!’
’First, I’ll grab you! And eat you!’
Sana let out a wicked laugh, unleashed all her Power, and pounced at Su Xuan!
"President! Watch out!"
Rosaline and the others immediately rushed toward Su Xuan’s position, trying to stop Sana.
However, Su Xuan just said calmly, "It’s fine."
Then, he took out the three High-tier Magic Scrolls he had gotten from the Sage’s soul. ’Finally, a chance to use these.’
"Soul Shattering Technique!"
The moment the Magic Scroll unfurled, a beam of blue light shot instantly toward Sana.
Sana was shocked and tried to dodge. But because the distance was too short, and because she had underestimated Su Xuan, she couldn’t evade it at all.
"Aargh!"
With a pained scream, Sana was hit by the Soul Shattering Technique and collapsed to the ground.
"Damn it! A High-tier Magic Scroll..."
Sana trembled as she tried to stand, but the damage from the Soul Shattering Technique had robbed her of her ability to move. It was as if her very soul had been shattered, leaving her unable to control her body.
’Pretty useful, huh?’
Su Xuan was a little surprised by the effect of the High-tier Magic Scroll. The power of this one hit was comparable to Ivsha’s High-tier Magic, and the key was that it didn’t require any chanting!
However, despite its effects exceeding his expectations, the thought that this High-tier Magic Scroll was worth a Gold Coin still made him wince with regret.
’Next up...’
His gaze turned to the fallen Sana. ’Your turn is over. Now, it’s mine!’
Su Xuan walked up to Sana and drew the sword from his waist. He had no need to ask Sana for reasons; he could just ask Edith about those things directly.
Therefore, the only path left for Sana was death!
Seeing that Su Xuan was about to kill her, Sana instantly panicked and shouted, "No! Don’t kill me! I can be your slave! I can do anything! I’m a Succubus! You know what that means! If you have me, you can enjoy unparalleled pleasure!"
"..." Su Xuan’s sword-wielding hand paused for a moment. This slight hesitation gave Sana a glimmer of hope for survival.
She said coquettishly, "Master~ I beg you to spare me~"
SCHLICK!
"Agh!"
Sana’s words had barely faded when Su Xuan’s sword fell, chopping off her head.
His hesitation wasn’t because he was tempted, but because he had noticed another Demon on the scene...
