Looking at how the two groups were acting, the Guard Captain felt something was off. Still, he didn't mind it and looked toward Yasenia with a smile. Even if the previous time was somewhat terrifying, getting visited again by the big beauty was a pleasant surprise. "Welcome back. I've already finished with them, so you can sit wherever you like."
Yasenia looked at the Demons mockingly and said, "I prefer if they go out of the room first. I do not want to be less than five meters from individuals hunting me down. I can already imagine them trying to kidnap one of us the moment we are close."
One of the demons sneered, "At least you know how to be scared when powerful people don't surround you. You have been too arrogant, making many of our kind die on the outside of the town. Do you think that we will forgive you for causing so many deaths!? Like any other creature, you should have surrendered to us, and maybe we would treat you better, future breeder!"
Angel, Sarah, and Kali frowned, but they didn't say anything. Angel's and Kali's gazes were particularly cold as they looked at them.
Yasenia looked at him with a smile, "I hear resentment in those words~. Was your sister between the Demons I killed? Maybe your brother? Or the woman you loved? Hahaha, it is a shame that they are already dead!"
The demon became angry and was about to charge toward Yasenia when his companion stopped him. "Do not attack here. If you kill anybody, you will die."
Yasenia smirked, "To think that you could see through such a scheme... I will have to reevaluate the demons' intelligence from the human baby level to the human children level."
However, even if the first one to speak had his face twisted with anger and his fist tightly clenched, none of them answered.
Yasenia wasn't expecting anything, either. She was doing so because she wanted to mess with the demons.
A female Demon with purplish wings said with a lustful expression and licking her lips, "Leaving aside your poisonous tongue. Now that I've seen you, I can understand why our monarchs want to obtain you. I really want to have a taste of you~. After we capture you, I will be sure to take my time with you~."
Yasenia sneered, "Having a taste of me? My flavor may be too strong for you, demon. I fear that the moment you get a taste of me, your brain will melt, and you will become retarded."
The demoness's smile widened, and she asked, "How about we test it~? I really want to corroborate whether that statement is true or not. We can take our time in a nearby inn~."
Yasenia turned around without answering and left the entrance free for them to exit the room. "Scram, I have things to ask the Guard Captain."
The first demon laughed and said, "How about we also hear what you want to ask? We don't have any haste, after all."
"I will be waiting for the room to clear out, Guard Captain." Said Yasenia as she went outside with the other three.
The Guard Captain saw Yasenia leaving, so he frowned and said, "All of you, leave. If you don't, I will never answer any other questions you have. Moreover, I will tell the order the townspeople to not sell you anything."
"Huh? A mortal trying to threaten us? Do you think we are afraid of you!?" Said the rash demon.
The female demon grabbed his horn and dragged him outside. "Let's go. Do you think we can hinder her by staying here? She will just go do Monoliths as we lose time here. Then, she just has to check from time to time until we leave. Moreover, the person that just threatened you is the Guard Captain. He should have a lot of authority in this place, so don't be rash and move your ass out of the room!"
Yasenia praised from the outside, "What a clever girl you are. If you know all of that, can you be a little faster and leave already?"
The demoness exited the room while laughing, "Are you starting to like me? I will always be free for you, Yasenia~." Yasenia didn't even bother to answer as she saw all of them exit the room.
But would Yasenia let them leave just like that? Of course not. While Yasenia was speaking with them, Kali had stealthily used a colorless, tasteless, and odorless substance at the office door entrance. So now, as they walked through it, they were inhaling and getting smeared in it.
The demoness felt something wrong, so she frowned. Yasenia spoke at that moment, distracting her. "Demoness, if you really want to have a "match" of that, I will be waiting for you in the Forlorn Inn, two streets away from here. Two days later, I will prove to you that my taste is too strong for a Demon."
The demoness was surprised as she looked at Yasenia's seductive smile. She also smiled and said, "I hope you keep your word~. I will be there without fault, beautiful Yasenia."
Then, the demons passed across the door normally and didn't realize that they had breathed something that would get them in big trouble.
When they disappeared, Yasenia recalled the effects of the substance. The thing Kali sprayed was called [Dragoness Allure].
It was an aphrodisiac Kali researched with Yasenia's pheromones.
Kali used Yasenia's mating sweat as the base component and multiplied its potency almost fivefold. With that, you can already guess the extent of the effects. Moreover, she had mixed other components to make it burst with full strength after a while to avoid suspicions on her if she were ever to use it.
Our dear fox knew the difference between hating something and knowing its usefulness. Even if she hated aphrodisiacs, they could be useful in many ways, so she created them. She also had plenty of other drugs and poisons in her ring, together with their antidotes.
When the demons left completely, Yasenia and the others entered through the door, and Kali gave a white pill to Angel, Sarah, and Yasenia. Sarah was about to ask when Yasenia picked it up and made her eat it. "It is a good thing, so just eat it."
Sarah used her tongue to take the pill from Yasenia's beautiful fingers, blushing slightly. Yasenia then ate the antidote pill herself. Even if it was created with her own pheromones, it could still arouse her.
The Guard Captain didn't ask about it and went straight to the point, "What do you want to ask?"
Angel also didn't beat around the bush. She took out the [Crystal key] and showed him, "What is this? Where can I use it?"
The Captain's face changed, and he said with a grave voice. "Where did you get this, little girl?"
Angel was about to answer, but Yasenia interrupted, "You don't need to know. Since I can already guess from your expression that you know what this is for, answer our question."
Her serious draconic gaze made him recall the previous experience with this dragoness, and he answered honestly. "You have to speak with the town mayor. He will tell you what to do with it. I don't have enough authority to spread what this is for."
Yasenia didn't insist. She just turned and left. The others saw it and also followed after her. Yasenia left a single word as she crossed the doors. "Thanks for the trouble."
She would have normally asked more things, tried to entice him to tell him, or she could have used different methods to force the answer from him. However, seeing him speaking with the demons already made Yasenia's trust in him lower further than it previously was. 'Since everyone can ask him questions, I can't guarantee that he won't speak about the Key to others. Maybe it was a mistake showing it to him. Well, what is done can't be undone.'
*RUMBLE!*
Five loud and powerful lightning bolts interrupted Yasenia's thoughts as they were leaving the building. Yasenia and Kali looked at each other and smirked. Yasenia said, "Let's see what happened over there, shall we?"
Angel and Sarah didn't have any opinions, and they walked in that direction. After they arrived there, Yasenia approached one of the town residents and asked. "Ma'am, could you tell me what happened here?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head with a sigh, "Five immortals suddenly began stripping and having sex in the middle of the street like animals. That is not permitted, so the guards in the surroundings approached. Who would have thought that when the guards approached to stop them, they also tried to "attack" them and got killed by the Divine Lightning."
Yasenia said with a worried tone, "That divine lightning is truly powerful. I will have to be more careful."
The woman nodded, "Yes, miss immortal. Try not to make any trouble since the lightning is unforgiving."
Yasenia smiled, "Thank you for worrying. I will be on my way."
Then, she turned in a Monolith's direction and left. Before leaving, she looked at the corpses and confirmed their death.
Their rings had already disappeared, so she didn't bother with them. 'It went better than expected... This latent problem has resolved itself, fufufu~.'
The next Monolith was infiltrating a palace, assassinating the Emperor there, and then leaving safely. If you were discovered after or before the assassination, then you wouldn't be able to enter the armory. The Monolith was twenty-five meters tall, taller than the previous one, and the reward was obviously higher, 2,500 Trial Points compared to the 1,500 they received before.
Still, this time, the closest one to overcome the trial without being discovered was Angel. She used her [Mirage Formation] and avoided all the patrol guards, traps, and other things made to find out or even kill the challenger. However, she was spotted later, failing the trial.
Yasenia was also unable to overcome this test without being discovered. The same went for Kali and Sarah. None of them had any stealth skills, so they just managed to kill the Emperor and nothing more, gaining an extra 2,500 Trial points.
Yasenia said after the Monolith, "This one is good for points since we can just overpower the guards and kill the Emperor, but if we want to enter the armory, we will have to choose another monolith."
Angel pouted, "I was so close to passing it perfectly, but they closed the city, and I couldn't escape without blasting the doors open…."
Kali sighed, "My fox traits went against me this time, someone spotted my tail, and then it all went downhill. I had to poison him to death using thorns and escape using my summons to gain me enough time to escape.
Sarah said, "I was discovered by the royal guard in the main room. I was able to fight them off and kill the Emperor. Escaping also wasn't difficult."
Yasenia nodded, "Let's go to the next one."
Angel grabbed her hand and asked, "Where did you fail, Yasenia?"
Yasenia laughed, "I wasn't agile enough to avoid the vigilance of the archers at the top of the castle. They discovered me quite easily because I forgot that my tail glows slightly in the dark. A silly mistake."
Angel also chuckled, "You are so silly, hahaha."
Yasenia tickled her and said, "Hm~, is my baby making fun of me~?"
Angel burst into laughter and begged for forgiveness.
Shortly after, they reached the next Monolith. It was even taller than the previous one.
Sarah asked, "Are we going to a bigger monolith each time?"
Yasenia nodded, "These are the five biggest ones here. This one has a reward of 3,000 Trial Points. The next has a reward of 3,750, the next of 5 000, and the tallest Monolith gives tons of points, 100,000 Trial Points. However, I don't want us to challenge the biggest Monolith directly. "
Yasenia looked at her and said, "I wanted to go slowly up to guess its difficulty. Imagine entering the 100,000 Point one, and it results to be a death trap. To reward so many points, there must be something fishy about it."
Kali said, "Although difficult, these last two monoliths had a very low danger factor for the moment. If it continues like this, depending on its contents, we should be able to challenge it."
Sarah nodded, "I wonder what the 100,000 monolith is about."
Angel answered, "We don't know. We just got information about their places and the number of points they give. We wanted to read the stele directly rather than asking for it."
Yasenia chuckled, "Not so fast, dears. First, we go to this one!"
They reached the 3,000 Trial Point monolith, a thirty meters tall structure. Yasenia didn't lose time and read the challenge. "The mines are infested with unknown creatures, enter the nest and eliminate every single one of them."
Yasenia hummed with interest. "Since we are in underground mines, I suppose it will be dangerous… Be careful with diggers, creatures with camouflage, and attacks that can make the mines collapse."
The other three nodded, and Yasenia read the condition to make it flawless, "Do not collapse the mines."
Yasenia smirked and said, "Well, all the more reason to avoid collapsing them."
They didn't fumble around anymore and entered the Monolith.
Their bodies were transported to another location instantly.
Yasenia opened her eyes before the mine entrance. It was honestly bigger than what she imagined it to be. Its height was at least seven meters, and its width was ten meters. Yasenia looked around and saw no vegetation. She was in the middle of a rocky landscape. Moreover, there wasn't a single soul in the surroundings.
