PART 1 – Last Talk!
—————————
It was a cold morning, and dense fog covered the northwest of the duchy.
Letiphia Veremor was calmly holding a night-black scepter, watching the sky lighten, feeling the serene cold on her face as, behind them, great movements were made.
Groups of mages were kneeling around a magic circle, reciting complex spells, where a long barrier manifested and covered the entire place.
Letiphia felt within moments that this had become an anti-magic zone. What is being done is the method of hiding magical ripples, especially teleportation.
Then a bang resounded as the magic circle activated, a lot of magic being dispersed but quickly nullified, but more precisely, something was absorbing it.
Powerful beams of energy manifested, and the magicians recited with more determination, keeping the barrier stable, until finally figures appeared, with the most attractive being the jovial, tall, muscular figure, who appeared calm with only one hand over his mouth.
While she seemed calm, the others were experiencing nausea, being unable to cope, and vomiting.
Skarla, who had just arrived, raised an eyebrow, finding the established magic curious, detecting that it was an energy suppressor, something she could do, and did so, stepping on the ground with force, and from her a dome of energy expanded, eclipsing everything to everyone's shock.
Even Letiphia, who maintained her composure, turned around, widening her eyes in shock, while Skarla, covering the entire area, soon forced her compression, compressing everything without hesitation.
In Murim, this is a technique used for assassinations in populated places or close to powerful sects. Prevent powerful masters from detecting the dispersion of energies once it has spread.
With this, "Energy Suppression" emerged, which is normally carried out by dozens of people, developing an "Energy Suppression Matrix", thus covering an area.
Then just kill the target.
But what she just did is a little different; this is not combat; the purpose is to avoid detection, so all she needs to do is detect all the traces of energy that they want to suppress, detect other similar traces, engage them, and then delete them.
Since she doesn't have much energy yet, she had to focus on control and quality above all else.
And with that, she did in moments what would take several masters to do in several minutes or hours.
"I see you are stronger." - Letiphia said calmly.
"And I see that you have become more beautiful." - Skarla said, smiling, and mentally sent him a message. - ["I also see that it looks tastier."]
Letiphia frowned; that was strange. - "Come on, we need to get ready. Alpha has already detected the location."
Skarla frowned but decided to stay quiet for now.
…
Letiphia was informed about the information Skarla got—many things she didn't know, useful information—in order to develop countermeasures for the emergence of more of these creatures.
"I'm curious; how did you manage to make a Succubus betray her master?" -Letiphia asked, confused, as she is not able to find anything in her mind that justifies such information.
Skarla smiled and said, - "Did you think my threats while I was fucking you were a joke?"
Letiphia frowned but ended up remembering. It turns out that her memories were fuzzy due to the intensity, but she partially remembered the fear she felt about the mind control.
"I see, I have to be even more careful with you." - Letiphia said calmly.
"Apart from our first meeting, you've always been careful; it's just that I'm far from your logic." - Skarla said, laughing, and Letiphia nodded.
"Anyway, how did you do it? Was it just mind control?"
"No. Electricity doesn't work in the brains of Succubi like it does in humans. I had to torture her." - Skarla replied.
"Do you think I'm going to believe you tortured a demon until she gave up such precious information?" - Letiphia snorted.
"I destroyed and reconstructed his body incessantly, feeding his mind so that he remained sane and felt everything, to the point that the pleasure he felt through pain was incapable of bearing. The pain I cause, my dear, is not simply tearing the flesh but destroying every aspect of your body, mind, and spirit."
"You and your people are very primitive in the matter of energy control, since where I come from, energy control is something mandatory even for beginners to reach the top, so we know how to use it perfectly so that dealing with torture is a true work of art."
"I don't understand anything; you keep boasting about your world." - Letiphia snorted.
"What can I do? If our worlds were to face each other, your advantage would be magic, but in terms of physical combat, we would obliterate you." - Skarla smiled slightly.
Letiphia sighed. - "Anyway. What are the chances of us surviving?"
"I can't say; we will certainly face a being of legendary level, which I will face, and I will probably focus on dealing with him, so dealing with level 20 enemies will be your and the others' obligation." - Said Skarla, frowning.
Letiphia nodded and sighed.
"Don't worry, do you think I would leave my wife without proper protection?" - Smiling, Skarla touched Letiphia's forehead and placed something there.
"What did you do?" - Letiphia touched her forehead in confusion.
"I created a barrier in your mind; it will defend you from simple mental attacks or hypnosis, but if they launch a focal mental attack on you, then you are likely to fall apart, but you will know how to deal with the rest. I believe that."
Letiphia sighed. - "I don't even know why I keep surprising myself; it's obvious that you can even do that."
"I can do so much more; too bad I'm still converting my main technique to this world, or I would be at least 3 to 4 times stronger than I am now." -Skarla said it arrogantly, kissing her forehead. - "And don't you dare die; I don't want to break my promise."
"Humph! What promise?" -Letiphia snorted, but she was curious.
"That I'm going to keep getting you pregnant." - Skarla laughed as she held her face. - "Then don't you dare die; as my wife, I don't give you such permission."
Letiphia didn't respond; she just returned his gaze.
"You understood me?" - Skarla said in an authoritative tone, and Letiphia felt her body tense, so looking away, she responded. - "Yes."
Skarla, delighted by her reply, stole those succulent lips with a kiss, but alas, the hour was approaching and they had no time for further amusement.
(Note: Fierce combat will occur, and be aware that there will be no plot protection. If there are low dice results, characters may die in epic or crude ways; Skarla is no exception. So if someone dies and you get angry, remember that luck dictates the rules to a certain extent.)
(Note: I took the dice during the Skarla fight. They are still being released; I just won't dictate them.)
—————————
PART 2 – The Trigger!
—————————
A large troop marched towards the location, mages casting illusions and Skarla suppressing the energy leak, to avoid as much attention as possible.
[??? Test]
—D20 = 6
Skarla was calm; she was asked about her energy expenditure, and she didn't give specific answers; she just said that it didn't consume much, but in fact, it didn't consume anything, especially because she can convert [Aura] into health and energy.
[Magic Concealment Test]
—D20+10 = 28!
[Perception Test(Disadvantage)]
—D20+15 = 28 & 25!
"Stop!" - Skarla ordered, everyone stopped, and Letiphia looked at her, wanting to ask, but remained silent when she noticed her intense gaze and veins popping out of her jaw.
Some wanted to ask, but Letiphia gave them an intense look, and everyone stayed quiet.
"Something is scanning the surroundings and must have already detected Alpha and the other scouts. They're going to start moving!" -Skarla said seriously, being able to feel the senses of something passing through everyone, but miraculously, she didn't seem to detect them.
BOOM!
Shortly after her words, a huge explosion sounded, and Skarla frowned. - "Alpha is dead!"
Letiphia clenched her fists; even Viper seemed affected by this news.
"We haven't been detected, but... It looks like they're starting to move. They must have detected our camp right then." - Skarla said coldly, but until then, it's all assumptions.
"Come on, we can't let your sacrifices be in vain." - Said Letiphia, she has her priorities and cannot mourn the death of a companion.
…
Everyone continued to advance; the movements seemed strange. Skarla constantly felt the senses of this powerful being, prowling the surroundings, certainly knowing something, but it seems that her efforts are being useful.
And finally, they reached their destination, a large wall of a mountain. It doesn't seem to have anything unusual, but Skarla can see the strange flow of energy.
"This wall is covered in illusions; we have reached our destination." - Said Skarla and everyone started to get tense.
"Duchess." -Skarla called as she clenched her fists and squeezed her wrists. - "Are you interested in capturing and interrogating any living being here, or are you worried about collecting any potential resources you have?"
"No! Total extermination!" - Said Letiphia.
"OK! Everyone, get ready; as soon as I act, know that the battle will begin." - Said Skarla as the veins began to pop out all over her body and the energy of the four elements in her trigram was entering complete chaos and order, almost exploding. Everyone could feel the power slowly exuding from his body.
"Viper, watch carefully what I am going to do, as this will be a strength you can achieve." - Skarla said calmly, and Viper became attentive. Skarla also looked slightly at Letiphia and said mentally. - ["The same goes for you."]
Soon, with a simple flexion of her legs, followed by the tilt of her body, Skarla propelled herself, and like a missile, she shot, in moments receiving the attention of the powerful being until she was then hidden.
Skarla had her fists clenched at the side of her chest, her chest puffed out, her legs bent, and her breathing held.
BOOOOMMMM!!!
An immense wave of energy exploded from Skarla, creating strong winds that covered over 10 meters before everything compressed.
"DON'T YOU DARE!!!"
A thunderous roar reverberated, but Skarla was already in front of the mountain, her powerful energy ripples and expansions manifesting and making it impossible to retreat now.
At the same time, along with the roar, ripples of magic were forming, and slowly something black was forming in the air along with magic circles.
But it was already too late. Skarla's fists are covered in these constantly colliding energies, maximizing and overloading her body.
The fists finally touched the mountain wall, quickly releasing all its energy that spread out in moments, then erupted, and a circular crater 5 meters deep and about 40 meters in area manifested, while Skarla's energy spread throughout all the weak points of the mountain, meeting the many tunnels and narrow paths, spreading out and causing countless cracks that wouldn't stop spreading.
BOOM!!
An explosion rumbled and a second wave of energy spread out. The deepest point, which was the center, had a depth of nearly 20 meters, while the crater spread over 300 meters. The entire surroundings shook, and large chunks of land and rocks were flying everywhere.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!
Finally, all the energy from the impact was released and dispersed, with powerful winds going everywhere, spreading dust and dirt, trees being destroyed, and huge cracks covering the entire mountain wall, with huge chunks of rock breaking loose and falling as the entire environment seemed to experience an intense earthquake.
And the energy continued to spread more internally into the mountain, slowly decreasing the damage but still causing a lot of damage.
ROAR!!!
Skarla, in mid-air, slowly falling, smiled amid dense dust and debris, feeling the immeasurable desire to kill what was there. - "I think it's show time!" - She said, laughing.
BANG!
Something fiercely collided with her body and propelled her against the ground, colliding heavily and sinking.
— ————————
PART 3 – Confrontation!
—————————
A tall figure with long white hair, a pale face, and a body that appears to be covered in black scales. It has long horns protruding from its head, a long, sharp tail, and a slender figure.
[Image] →
This macabre beauty had a distorted appearance of pure hatred, with veins bulging from her pale face.
"DISGRACE! I WILL KILL YOU!!!" - She roared shrilly in front of Skarla, even spitting in her face.
Its sharp claws pierced Skarla's chest and shoulder; its tail pierced her stomach and glowed with a reddish light, to the point of smoke rising.
Skarla seemed very calm, even though she was in a lot of pain. She extended her arms until her fists met the woman's stomach.
BOOM!
As she attempted to thrust her tail deeper into Skarla's body at the same time as an explosion and shrill scream sounded, Skarla grabbed her tail and slashed her head with energy in her palm. tail.
KYAAAAHHH!!
She screamed as Skarla pulled the tail from her stomach, standing up and calmly assessing her situation. Unfortunately, there was no way to dodge the attack; it was sudden, but she managed to protect her heart and other important organs by moving them from place to place.
Bzzz~
Electricity manifested, and soon the tail was electrified, quickly burning, and the creature howled and growled at this sight. At the same time, Skarla's wounds were closing and cauterizing.
"YOU DESTROYED EVERYTHING!" - The creature began to roar furiously as it looked at the mountain. - "I SPENT DECADES BUILDING THIS! MY NEST!"
"Stop shouting; I'm not deaf." - Skarla growled while poking his ear.
"I will kill you! I will kill you with all my strength! I will make you suffer for destroying everything that was mine!" - She was shaking with anger and then howling.
Her howl resulted in ripples of magical energy, and Skarla felt the shock against her mind, but she easily nullified these effects. Even though she was stronger, the trick is the same.
{Blink}
BOOM!
An explosion echoed, and Skarla was in front of the creature, which gasped and stopped screaming, trying to dodge, but Skarla's fist collided with her chest.
Surprisingly, the creature resisted, not being catapulted as Skarla expected. Then, its claws lengthened, and two vertical cuts from below tore Skarla's clothes and flesh. She growled, her hands clasped above her head.
BOOM!
Skarla's fists came down fiercely on her head; a heavy sound reverberated, to the point where it was even possible to hear bones breaking and the creature's eyes bulging, but she took advantage of the energy to do a somersault, where her already regenerated tail pierced towards Skarla's face, but she dodged, grabbing her and spreading electricity.
The creature was fast, and like a lizard, its tail separated from the rest of its body, while mid-somersault, its legs seemed to have become blades, while Skarla used its own tail as a shield while dodging.
Skarla dodged the left leg, but the right stuck into her shoulder, cutting through the bone and reaching her lung. Skarla's eyes widened, she growled, and her hand went up.
The creature also rose, writhing with its leg embedded in Skarla's shoulder, its arms open, and its sharp claws aiming to split Skarla's head.
But Skarla was faster, and an aura formed in her fingers, which formed into three sharp claws of energy, which rose and expanded, severing her left leg while splitting her left glute, which continued rising and took about ¼ of his abdomen, but the attack continued upward and reached his left arm, cutting it off along with it.
The right arm reached Skarla's face, but she grabbed it, quickly manifesting her electricity and invading her nervous system. The sharp claws were aimed at his face and would hit, because even though Skarla was grabbing his arm, the momentum did not slow down, and as a result, Skarla's palm and nails sank into his flesh, but the arm continued forward, and as a result, the skin was tearing as the sharp claws approached.
It was then that Skarla took advantage of the creature's ability to shape her body to a certain extent, using electricity, and as a result, the nails aimed at her face suddenly bent, where only her palm brushed Skarla's face while her fingers were directed backwards. .
The creature found itself unable to control its arm, but soon resisted and regained control, but Skarla's face was no longer within its reach, only the same fist that severed one of its arms and legs, which met with his groin, and finally his body was thrown away.
Skarla trembled as blood oozed from the huge crack in her shoulder. Bone cut, lung exposed. Breathing was difficult; blood was running down her mouth and nostrils; her eyes were red; but she seemed calm—very calm.
For any human being, or even a Murim specialist, this damage would shock him and incapacitate him, but Skarla acts as if it doesn't matter, but in fact, it does.
Only that she, to a certain extent, disconnected her senses of pain while using millimeter control of her energy to keep certain nerves in her arm loose.
Grabbing him, Skarla pulled and pushed him—a brutal and senseless scene. But she has [Continuous Flow] and with that, it helped her heal, but she also used the elements of fire, wind, and metal.
Fire to cauterize certain muscles, metal to harden the muscles, and wind to cool things down.
Finally, she used electricity to flow and stoke her metabolism, speeding it up.
"Are you human?" - The creature asked in shock while the previously free arm was constantly twitching while Skarla was being treated.
Laughing, Skarla replied. - "It depends. My race is human, but my parameters are certainly not human."
Skarla looked at the creature. - "This is going to be annoying, the other bitch could heal quickly, but she wasn't like you." - Skarla said, snorting, as the creature already seemed intact, having recovered its limbs.
"I'm remembering you. You are the one who persecuted one of my children and killed another." - She growled. - "How did you discover my nest?"
"It's no secret; I tortured one of your children; she said everything." - Said Skarla laughed.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" - The creature roared.
"I just needed to break your connection with her; did you think I wouldn't notice her curious eyes? Then all I had to do was pretend to kill her and then torture her to the point of wanting death above all that perverse and twisted loyalty." -Skarla laughed, and now she was moving her arm and snapping it, and even if she feels discomfort, she will have no problem using it.
"Thank you for the conversation; it gave me time to recover, but it's a shame; I won't give you another opportunity to open up." - Skarla said fiercely that she often appreciates the foolishness and simplicity of her enemies, who like to waste time talking.
"Humph! Do you think that because you have been cured, it will make a difference? I doubt you have all the strength you used to destroy my nest; all that energy is unrealistic for a non-mage human to possess; you are likely about to burn out." - She snorted disdainfully.
"Hmm?!" - Suddenly, she frowned. - "Mother?" - She said with surprise and a certain madness, a fascinated and adoring expression.
Goosebumps followed Skarla's frown. Something was watching her.
"Yes mom! I will do my best!" - She screamed and seemed to have almost had an orgasm.
"HAHAHAHA! Human, rejoice! My mother chose you as her toy; accept this gift and cease your useless struggle."
"Tell her to go fuck a pig, because I'm not interested in scraps!" - Skarla showed the middle finger and a disdainful face.
"HOW DARE YOU!!!" - The creature roared and advanced, and Skarla smiled and whispered in a mocking tone. - "Thank you, mom."
The creature reached Skarla, but it fiercely stepped on the ground and climbed its foot, its energy having spread and manifested through the ground. Then something was connected to its foot that rose, and next to it, a huge wall of earth rose. and rocks covered the creature's vision.
Skarla used metal element energy to cover this entire wall, hardening it.
[Perception Test(Disadvantage)]
—D20+15 = 26 & 32!
The creature laughed in disdain, with its eyes focused on one point, where Skarla was; it could feel her there, and even though this wall was strange, it did not pose any danger to it.
She then felt Skarla rise, knowing that she would not die. Her claws lengthened to almost 2 meters, and she fiercely attacked upwards, shattering the wall, which resisted more than expected, but it was not enough.
But she didn't hit who she wanted to hit, being initially confused by the ripple of life energy belonging to Skarla, where she heard something and her eyes went downward.
Skarla never left the place; all she did was supply her with waves of internal energy and vital force, then accumulate some of it in her mouth along with her blood, and even if this reduces her life expectancy a little, it doesn't matter.
Skarla spat it out, attracting the attention of the creature that slashed upwards, and all it had to do was throw a kick that easily went through the wall that couldn't resist it.
Crack!
The creature's neck snapped and broke, an intense shock wave circulating through its body, a thread of energy spreading and connecting to several points of accumulated energy, connecting them, accumulating them...
The creature's body trembled, covered in an energy as dark as night, and soon its body disappeared and then appeared in the sky, where it unfolded long bat wings and grunted painfully, its face twisting as it adjusted its neck.
"Damn, I swear I'm going to-" - She growled and began to shudder, her eyes widening in confusion.
"Curious." - Skarla said, scratching her chin, being able to observe the chaos inside. - "I was wanting to prepare something, but I thank you; your teleportation left the energy all confused and even increased it. I don't know how he did it."
"WHAT?!" -She roared, and soon explosions resounded throughout her body, bubbles appearing in her flesh and bursting, blood flying, and bones going together.
KYAAAAAAHHH!!!
She roared hysterically as her organs spilled out, writhing in the air and falling, having no strength or ability to reason.
Skarla appeared in front of her, ready to kill her. - [Stop!] - A strange sensation manifested itself. Skarla frowned and backed away, looking around in confusion.
She touched her forehead, feeling a headache, and growling spread her energy, electrifying herself. Not caring about the pain, she just wanted to make sure nothing could invade her mind.
"Mom… I'm sorry." - The creature cried in its agony, stomach open, organs exposed, legs crooked. She stretched her less damaged arm towards the sky, shaking.
"Of course the bitch was going to call mom." - Skarla said, rolling her eyes, but even though she wanted to end it, she didn't and just watched as the creature's body regenerated and a mysterious force was interfering.
Skarla took the opportunity to pay attention to other locations, feeling the conflicts, the powerful ripples of magical energy, and… the erasure of the life force of some allies.
Skarla's face became livid while many ideas were circulating in her mind, and little by little, her internal energy was increasing. Combat is one of the easiest ways to evolve.
—————————
PART 4 – Demons!
—————————
Everyone was speechless as they saw the catastrophic destruction spreading across the mountainous wall, not believing that one person was capable of such a feat.
Many looked at Viper's and Skarla's words before causing all this. Can this assassin achieve such a feat? Some shadows demonstrated, for the first time in their lives, envy and jealousy.
"Are you trying to tell me this bitch isn't a legendary powerhouse?!" - Anna Zlad shouted fiercely, pointing at all the damage.
No one would believe that someone who is not yet a legend can have such physical feats; that makes no sense at all!
"Killing the succubus made her level up." - Viper said to calm her down, and Anna swallowed her saliva.
'This bitch just became a legend and is already so powerful? Shit! If she lives a few more years with her strange techniques, doesn't it mean that except for Demigods, she will be invincible?!' - Anna trembled at this possibility and thought about the threats.
Letiphia, who seemed calm, was casting spells to protect them from the debris that would certainly kill them if not for that.
And even though she appeared calm, Letiphia was swallowing her saliva and shaking with different feelings. Such power at Level 11. Can she achieve such a feat over time?
She is a sorceress, wielding such physical power. This is inconceivable, but the desire and ambition in her heart only grew. - 'I want this! I want that power!'
Bzz~
Aah!
Letiphia screamed as electricity surged around her mind, waking her up through the pain and gasping in surprise as everyone looked at her in confusion and concern.
'Corruption? I was suffering from corruption?!' - Letiphia growled.
And in the midst of her thoughts, the confrontation of the giants began, being something brutal, but little by little it was being taken away.
"Skarla is setting the stage for us to act, and there are more enemies on the mountain; get ready!" -Viper noticing Letiphia's lack of leadership, shouted; she was the first to feel it, and with her warning, others began to hear and feel the presence of formidable enemies approaching.
Letiphia looked at Viper. She growled lightly, not believing that she was jealous of a former subordinate. - 'Damn corruption!' - Letiphia thought, believing it was the demons' fault.
(Spoiler: That's not it!)
…
The combat between legends was moved as much as possible; even though it was a relatively short exchange of blows, with real killing attacks being carried out, only a few minutes passed.
And in those few minutes, with the dust settling, figures came out of the mountain wall—many seriously injured individuals, spitting blood as they emerged alive from underground.
Succubi above level 15, the first to come out, even though they were injured, stood with open arms as they erected protective barriers, being desperate as attacks came their way.
In total, there are 3 Level 15+ Succubi, while there are 8 around Level 11~14 who were supporting the protection and recovering to fight.
Meanwhile, the confrontation on the other side was reaching a stalemate.
"HAHAHAHAHA! MOTHER! MOM HAS ARRIVED!" - The Succubi began to laugh shrilly.
[Attack Test(6x)]
—D20+16+3 = 31 & 26 & 20 & 21 & 21 & 21.
Beam*
The first succubus to scream, her voice ceased as her eyes widened and her head flew as darkness consumed her blood and flesh.
"SISTER!!!" - A Succubus on the side roared with tears in her eyes, looking furiously at the direction the beam came from, which surpassed her protective barriers.
There she found Letiphia flying in the skies, a black scepter in hand, and several clusters of darkness around her, which began to rain down on the barrier.
"STRENGTHEN PROTECTION!" - Roared the strongest Succubus, the same one that Skarla chased previously.
And as the black beams began to explode on the barrier, more succubi ran to help, and Letiphia, who had a cold look, smiled with disdain.
A simple movement of her hand and six clusters of energy aligned and fired.
The succubi didn't notice anything out of the ordinary; they thought they had managed to resist and were already preparing for direct confrontation. It was then that...
[Attack Test(6x)]
—D20+16+3 = 38 & 39X & 22 & 27 & 29 & 25.
Beam*
That succubus that Skarla chased for days, the one that caused so much death and terror to the duchy, the one closest to becoming a legendary succubus, was now wide-eyed, in complete confusion without understanding while feeling the lack of a heartbeat.
KYAAAAAAHHH!!
Then she screamed shrilly as the darkness gnawed at her and consumed her. It was painful; she didn't understand as the pain spread; her healing factor didn't work; and her companions and subordinates roared at this scene.
'Am I going to die?' - She asked in disbelief, but then growled. - "NO!!!"
Her wings extended, and fiercely she came out of the protection; black veins covered her skin; the darkness gnawed at her; she didn't care.
"Humph!" - Letiphia snorted. - "I think you're Level 20." - She said it calmly, as it resembled the description Skarla gave her.
'What was it really like?' - Letiphia wondered...
[Memory Test]
—D20+10 = 25!
"하늘에 쌓이는 전기는 이교도를 징벌하는 것과 같다…" - She intoned the strange words that Skarla told her.
[Luck Test]
—D20 = 14!
The succubus, who had a vicious look and seemed to be preparing something deadly, ended up listening to this, not paying attention, but something inside her paid attention—a poison imperceptible to a layman like her.
Bzzz~
The buzzing of electricity reached her ears, along with a numb feeling; something was entering her body against her will, which seemed to wake up something inside her.
Her whole body froze in midair, her eyes widening, feeling the familiar sensation of when she confronted Skarla or when something inside her exploded, almost killing her.
"Oh~ Eyes of the Deep that observes from the dark everything that lives and that has already died, that observes the emergence of madness. Manifest yourself at my call and receive this sweet offering to satisfy your unlimited hunger." -Letiphia intoned as she waved her scepter in the air.
An evil and ancient presence manifested itself: ghostly eyes everywhere, goosebumps appearing as from the ground, tentacles emerged.
"NO! YOU CAN NOT! I BELONG TO MOTHER!!!" - The succubus roared shrilly, recovering her strength and resisting. Even with the pain in her chest and the darkness eating away at her, she could feel that these tentacles were touching something beyond the flesh.
"NO! PLEASE! HAHAHAHA! NO!" -The succubus roared hysterically, letting out mad laughter while the tentacles were already invading her nostrils and ears, even her eyes. She tried everything she could to hold on to the ground as she was dragged through a crevice between the tentacles.
A terrifying scene, the shrill and desperate screams that began to sound with madness and distorted joy, until finally they ceased.
Letiphia smiled as she felt something fill her, rolling her eyes in almost orgasmic delight, electricity surging and defending her.
Letiphia came to her senses. She felt stronger, her concentration improved, and her energy reserves were full. The entity [Eyes of the Deep] certainly appreciated the sacrifice.
Two Succubi above level 15 were killed, and with that, the strength of the enemies decreased, but… that was what she wished to be the case.
The succubi, even though they were enraged by the deaths of their stronger sisters, did not allow themselves to be carried away by their feelings; there is no place for something like that in hell.
"OH~ GREAT MOTHER OF SIN, GRANT US THE PRIVILEGE OF LEADING YOUR GLORIOUS ARMY!!!" - The last succubus above Level 15 roared hysterically, and in response, several succubi and lower-ranking slaves were consumed, their bodies drying up, and in return, cracks appeared in space and demons appeared.
Imps are grotesque and armored creatures, irrational beasts that only desire destruction and satisfy their hunger.
Dozens of demonic creatures appeared; their levels were between 5 and 12, but why sacrifice so many allies for these few when the highest level is 12? Because they are Succubi, their combat feats are not the best, and the presence of priests has greatly reduced the effectiveness of their skills.
In the end, the most sensible thing is to rely on demonic forces focused on combat.
Letiphia growled at that point.
{Twined Vines}
The Nature Mage, Phinel, cast a 3rd Circle spell. Powerful vines grew from the ground, hindering the advance of the earthly demonic creatures while trying to ensnare the strongest.
{Rain of Arcane Missiles}
The Arcane Mage, Belinda, cast one of her signature spells, where dozens of magical missiles manifested and began raining down on the demonic creatures, killing the weakest ones and damaging others.
A huge flaming demon rushed forward, which appears to be a Balrog but, at most, has some of the lineage of this legendary beast.
ROAR!!!
With a shrill and ferocious roar, he began to spew flames into the air, which fell on his enemies, but Calah the Alchemist screamed. - "I GOT IT!"
After his scream, Calah took out some potions with a bluish liquid and threw them at the flames. The weak ones exploded, and moments later, a powerful frigid energy spread, the flames being engulfed and transformed into ice, where it began to shatter.
At the same time, an arcane barrier manifested itself. - "Hey! Trust me!" - Calah shouted, pouting as he looked at Belinda.
Belinda didn't respond. No one would trust an alchemist for protection. Even more so with something of this magnitude.
Humph!
Snorting, Calah looked in Skarla's direction, the confrontation intensifying.
"Focus; she knows how to take care of herself!" -Pauline pulled her while she played her violin, doing the following:
{Song – Strength to the Brave: +2 Attack Modifier}
{Sonnet – Peace the Mind of Warriors: +3 Willpower Modifier}
Calah growled. - "I just don't want her to lose her pillar, or I won't have any reason to keep her." - Snorting, she took more bottles out of her bag and threw them. - "Hey green bitch, pick it up and throw it!" - Calah shouted, throwing some bottles at Cecil.
"I ALREADY SAID MY NAME IS CECIL! Thanks!" - Cecil roared and was polite in the end, taking the vials and quickly tying them to his arrows, then firing them.
Cecil took out a vial that said [Flames], then tied it to the arrow, aimed at one of the flying creatures, and fired:

—D20+6+1 = 20!
The arrow accurately hit the creature; the vial broke on its body, and as soon as its liquid came into contact with the air, it quickly combusted and consumed the creature.
But as it is a hellish creature, its resistance to flames is high, but it still caused damage.
ROAR!!!
The flaming demon roared as it charged at them; the arrows stuck in its body, posing no danger to it, and as a result, three female figures went to intercept it. They are Holga, Anna, and a Knight of Letiphia.
"COME!!!" - Holga roared as she confronted the creature head-on, raising her sword.
Anna was just to the side, in her heavy armor, wielding a sacred shield. The knight was on the other side, and the three together reached the demon.
ROAR!!
Roaring, he punched Anna, which gave him the greatest sensation of discomfort. Anna, with both hands, held her shield and resisted the massive blow.
BOOM!
Anna's eyes widened; she was almost forced against the ground, and her legs hurt from the impact. The creature's other arm was raised; it was more than 3 meters tall and wanted to kill Anna above all else.
The knight advanced, wielding her shield with both hands, a bluish energy covering it in the next instant.
{Bash!}
BANG!
A fierce bang sounded against the creature's arm, preventing it from carrying out this attack. Holga, who took advantage of the huge opening, attacked the creature in its chest, her blade sticking and sliding, opening a huge wound, and the hot blood like lava poured out. spilled.
ROAR!!!
The creature roared in pain, and it lunged its head towards Holga, pleased with its success.
The creature's face being so close to Holga surprised her. She tried to retreat, but the creature's skull hit her face. She felt her nose breaking, and at the same time, she felt one of the creature's horns piercing her face.
Kyaahh~
Holga let out a painful scream as she backed away and fell.
"HOLGA!" - Sasha shouted in the background as she split an Imp in half, abandoning her front line to go to her.
"DON'T LEAVE FORMATION!!!" - Miguel roared, but Sasha wasn't listening.
The flaming demon was opening its mouth as it felt a blade pierce it. The knight attacked him; it was painful, but even though it was brutal, he understood that he needed to kill his enemies, and Holga is the weakest among the 3.
"DON'T YOU DARE!" - Anna roared, appearing between them, protecting Holga, and soon the flames exploded. She roared as she used all her sacred power to try to defend herself.
KYAAAAHHH!!!
A shrill, tragic scream reverberated as the knight received much of the damage that Anna ended up reflecting. She fled, but these were magical flames that melted her armor. She struggled, fiercely trying to get it out of her body and agonizing as she fell to her knees.
She finally took off her armor, and as her skin was ripped off, she trembled in agony.
Pushi!
A piercing sound echoed, and the knight, in agony, opened her eyes wide as something pierced her chest. Looking back, she saw a creature with dark skin and a hideous face, a smile full of sharp teeth, which opened and advanced on her face. She shook intensely as her face was chewed on.
Anna didn't have time to help, and when she heard the screams of the burning knight, she could only ignore them and focus on her and Holga's survival, internally saying that she would do everything to make up for them in the future.
Then Sasha, who ran towards them, jumped while trying to stick her blade in the back of the flaming demon, succeeding, but the demon, who finished her puff, hit her with a slap that sent her away.
Then Anna, who cast a cure on Holga, saw the scene of the knight being murdered in such a brutal way; that was her fault... But growling, she saw the massive fist descending on her once again.
[Sneak Attack Test(Advantage)]
—D20+13+2 = 16 & 19!
—D20+13+2 = 21 & 26!
A dark beam shot out, and the sound of flesh being pierced echoed. The flame demon's throat opened as a figure slowly manifested itself, holding one of its horns, sitting on the back of its neck, and piercing one of its eyes with its short sword. It then threw the weight of its body back while pulling with all its forces.
Everyone saw the creature's head snap and fall back, its agonized roar ceasing midway and its muscular arms rising before the strength left its body.
Viper jumped but didn't look at Anna, Holga, or anyone else, just at that hideous creature that killed the knight, who is facing Tropim.
Pushi!
Viper's eyes widened as Tropim engaged the creature, managing to slide his blade through its shoulder, but the creature had a hidden tail, which shot between its legs and pierced Tropim's stomach.
ARGH!
Tropim groaned as he was pierced, gasping for air and grabbing the creature's tail.
"GET OUT OF THERE!" - Viper roared as he ran. Tropim tried to retreat, but the creature's face advanced...
[Attack Test]
—D20+9 = 25
The creature's head went into Tropim's neck, which saw his face twisting in pain, tears streaming down as the creature bit his throat, its teeth sinking into his flesh.
When Viper arrived, the creature pulled his head. Tropim, in his last moments, tried to continue holding the creature's head, stopping it.
[Strength Test]
Tropim—D20+2 = 11!
Creature—D20+3 = 23!!!
(Author: …)
The creature with a hideous and delightful face pulled his head, and its mouth took a large chunk of Tropim's throat, which opened wide, and his eyes began to roll back, the strength leaving his body.
"NO!" - Phinel on the other side roared at this scene, looking furious.
Viper arrived, growling and stabbing her sword into the creature's skull while ferociously cutting off its tail. Viper went into a frenzy, tearing the creature apart to make sure it was dead.
At the same time, Anna rushed to the side, supporting Tropim and using her healing, but life had already left our beloved beastkin's body. Tears streaming from his green eyes that were losing color, his many regrets, his will to live being ignored by this cruel world.
Viper Panting slightly looked at Tropim, thinking about trying to do something. She knelt down. - "He died." - Anna said, clenching her fists, and Viper ignored her.
Viper didn't understand what he wanted to do, but she thought about everything Skarla taught her...
[Memory Test]
—D20+2 = 6!
She couldn't find anything that she found useful, but she remembered how she taught her about the "Life Force", how to transfer it to others, and what helps in healing and even saving people in serious condition, even if it lowered her expectation of success. life.
Knowing this, Viper said. - "I'll try to use Skarla's techniques; maybe I'll achieve something, so use more of your miracles!" - With her words, she put her hands on Tropim's neck.
…
Zenyo, even though he is a merchant, is still a Mage, a Golden Mage!
His power is in his money, and look, it's the thing he has most!
Extending his hands, he began to pour out large quantities of gold coins and bars, along with other precious metals. With his magic manifested, the metals began to fuse together, and soon three golden golems appeared, which were Level 11!
Zenyo smiled confidently. - "Go my investments; destroy this filth!" - He shouted, pointing, and the three golems advanced against the demons.
But that wasn't all; he spread his magic to the skies and activated his area magic [Golden Rain], where he dumped large amounts of coins that flew into the skies and like bullets rained down on his enemies, which exploded on contact and caused heavy damage to demons.
In an instant, he was in 3rd place as the one who caused the most damage, being only below Skarla and Letiphia, who are true monsters.
"NO!" -Phinel nearby shouted. Zenyo looked confused, noticing his look, and when he saw... he stayed quiet, turned around, and focused on commanding his golems, but his face was stern and he was biting his lips to the point where blood was flowing.
