Chapter 52: The Succubus in the Way

In the midst of the vortex of blood and darkness, a thought arose to Ligerett.

This was the second time that Lot had shown an almost futuristic move, but it was the first time she had seen the whole process of his actions in its entirety, and in the first battle with Kosie in front of the village, she had only turned her attention to this illusion after sensing an interesting reaction, and what she really cared about at the time was not a futuristic vision that would always come out of one or two in hundreds of years, but the strange flesh and blood parasitic on Roth's body.

She wasn't about to completely overturn her previous conclusion that she had "looked at the future based on the past," but she realized something else this time.

She had thought that Roth had gained a great deal of experience from some kind of adventure, but she couldn't or didn't want to fully grasp it, but now it seemed that he was more like he was missing something.

It's not that something is missing that prevents him from fully gaining future vision, but that what is missing causes him to act in battle that he doesn't even expect to be, like some humans with heavy head injuries who react to things around them and even communicate with people without regaining consciousness at all.

So what trauma did he have?

So what is he missing?

I just thought about it, and I just had this thought.

It has already attracted several eyes floating above the world.

Luckily, most of their eyes turned their gaze back in disgust at the filth of the place.

Just except for two.

β€”β€”

For Koscher's threat, Roth felt pressured but also a little relieved.

Sken had already left him alone, although it was impossible for the mage to fish because he had been laid by Lizzellett, and it was even possible that he would take advantage of Roth's pestering Kosher because he was a burden, but Roth knew that he could not succeed on his own.

In order to get this past back on track, and for Jieli to have to actively become a vampire, the situation in this black castle is bound to develop in the worst direction.

However, Kosei's words prove that the illusion still has the intention of making trouble for Roth, which also proves that Roth may still have an impact on the situation.

He is not powerless, and this alone is enough to support him to face all difficulties.

"Lijlit!" Roth pointed his finger at the head of the little bat that was unharmed even when he was forced through the flames, and sat peacefully on his shoulder, "Skem he left me to act alone, and showed me another way out of the villagers!"

The little bat did not react.

Sken's route was meant to rely on his teleportation spell, and Roth didn't think he could make any difference by spinning around like a headless fly on his two legs, so he kept tapping the little bat's head.

So the little bat, which couldn't bear it, stretched its wings and gave him a slap.

"Don't bother me! Do you know what I'm fighting against right now? That demon is now holding all of me from an hour ago to half an hour ago! I don't know where a demon lord can do such a thing so lightly, what the fuck, it can't be the Lord of Hell who came to get me himself, right?" Although Lijielit's mouth was fragrant, Roth didn't hear that she was really angry, more anxious.

At the same time, Roth also did not understand the battle situation described by Lijielit......

"Uh, how are you doing now?"

"I'm okay now, even if I was captured for an hour, I can fight for a while, but I can't win, and you don't expect me to help you much. By the way, you're on the way, aren't you?"

Roth tried to think about the battle situation on Lijielit's side again, and then gave up, probably because his realm was not enough.

At least a map had emerged from the wings of the little bat in front of him, and that would be enough.

But the Lord of Hell...... In fact, it is also one of the incarnations of the only true god in this world, and the Western culture of this world is full of the influence of the love and killing of the Lord of Hell and the God of Light, but considering that both are actually the incarnations of the true God, the whole thing is now very awkward.

The reason why the Church has not made much progress in codifying the new doctrine of the so-called true God worship in the post-United Empire era is directly related to the various previous acts of the true God that could not be understood by mortals.

Although the Lord of Hell is the embodiment of the true God, his nature as an incarnation should make it impossible for him to exert his power outside of Hell at will.

There are two signs on the left side of the map composed of blood beads on the wings of the little bat, one is a slightly larger blood bead with [You] written next to it, and the other is a square blood clot with [Villager] written next to it.

There is also a slightly larger blood bead on the map, and a thin red line extends from this blood bead, winding across the map.

Lot walked some distance, and the entire blood map changed as he moved, only the slightly larger blood bead never moved, and the square blood clot did not appear on the map at this time because the small bat wings were too small, but the other end of the thin red line was connected to it all the time.

Following the guidance of the map, instead of moving upwards in the underpass, Roth found a staircase and went further down to a place where the magma was already covered with the power of demons.

Although she was a little curious about what she was trying to do with so many underground facilities for her castle, she couldn't bother her because of such a trivial matter, so she had to give up.

...... And it wouldn't be surprising if she said she was just for fun, Lot.

The moment Roth entered this level, the map on the little bat's wings became mutilated, and Ron compared the scene in front of him and found that all the missing parts of the map had been covered in magma, presumably possessed by demonic power and no longer under Lijlit's control.

That's right, which means that the place where the map can show it is safe.

After cautiously advancing some distance, Roth ran into a problem.

A thin red line guiding the way passed through an area shown on a bloodless map.

While the area was not covered in lava and looked like a smooth road, it was all the more suspicious.

After a moment's hesitation, Roth realized that he had no choice, that there was no option to make a detour in this strange castle, and that he had to follow the directions.

Looks like Kosei's threat is going to be fulfilled here.

Roth tentatively stepped into the area.

A chill ran down his back.

"Uh-huh~ I was just here to join in the fun, but I didn't expect there to be an unexpected harvest~" A sweet and almost disgusting voice echoed throughout the area, and some kind of pink liquid gushed out in the center of the area like a fountain, eventually forming a revealing female demon with two feet as hooves, two horns on the head, a long pink tail, and a heart-shaped tail at the end of the tail.

β€”β€”

"Was this guy there at that time?"

There should be, [Realm of Vanity] does not create non-existent characters out of thin air, but Lijielit does not remember the existence of this succubus.

Perhaps, as she said herself, she came to see the excitement, because Lot had broken into her area, or because Lot wanted to change the course of the illusion, that she would appear as an obstacle in his way.

"Huh...... It's a foul like this, isn't it like a succubus to a man like a tentacle to a woman, it's going to be killed in seconds, killed in seconds!"

β€”β€”

Roth had never seen such an enemy, not even in books.

This is also something that can't be helped, the actual combat power of succubi is the worst among demons of the same level, and the ability to charm men cannot come in handy after they become the shadow of filth, no man will be against a succubus hair that turns into a cloud of black mud, so although it is not that there have been succubi in the land of the former Wicken Kingdom, but filth will not waste time and power to manifest them.

The tentacles are different, even if you don't look at their ability to urge females, their own combat ability is not weak, because they have been embodied in the battle with filth, and there is still one of them in the illustrated book issued by the Printing House under the Adventurer's Association, that is, in that article, perhaps because the author carried private goods, the existence of the succubus was reluctantly mentioned.

It's just a pity that that doesn't really help Roth's current situation.

Looking at Roth, who was like a great enemy, the succubus grinned, "There is a fairly rare battle up there, I'm not in the mood to be distracted and play with you." If you can get out of here honestly, it's not like I haven't seen you, right?"

Roth took a deep breath and took another step forward, "It's not hard for you to see the point where you want me to turn around and run." ”

"Ah, you're still kidding~" The succubus was surprised, "It's a pity, you shouldn't have taken a deep breath." ”

Roth suddenly felt his blood in his veins, his face flushed, as if a bomb had exploded in his head, buzzing, and the blood in his whole body was concentrated in places where it should not be.

"Ah~ah~ boring guy. The succubus scoffed.

β€”β€”

"Ah, finish the ball. When a man encounters a succubus, how can he fight it? Forget it, for the sake of bringing me these strange pieces of meat, I'll pull him when something really happens...... Huh? How did he survive?"

β€”β€”

"Drink!"

Rot, who was briefly out of control due to the poisonous gas he inhaled unconsciously, returned to normal at a speed beyond the succubus's imagination, and the disordered internal force and blood flow were quickly suppressed.

The succubus was a little interested, "The spiritual influence has not worked for some reason...... It's also strange that your fighting spirit can calm the disorder on its own after running. ”

"This is called internal force, and you can't understand it. Roth tugged at the corners of his mouth.

The Heavenly Realm and Hell, the two special spaces created by the True God and attached to this world, have always been only bound to the world on the west side of the Great Desert, and the Eastern World has no contact with them.

"Is there a new school of fighting spirit in the human world? So what, not being able to let me know only means that your school is too badly famous, right? The succubus was very upset because of Roth's attitude, "And even if you have some special mental qualities that make my poison not work directly on the spiritual level, you should at least be affected a little by the sympathy for lust, why did you recover so quickly?"

"Even if you have any empathy for someone who hasn't experienced it at all......" Roth shrugged.

The succubus was a little helpless, "You've been proud of something you haven't been proud of at all since just now, what a weirdo, hurry up!"

The succubus unleashed a pink balloon of water as he spoke, and then focused his attention again on the battle outside the castle.

The balloon floated in the air and flew towards Roth as small bullets were sorted outward, and although Roth tried to dodge, the pink projectiles chased him so hard that he had to scatter them.

The moment the water bomb was broken, a strange fragrance would instantly surround Roth, making his body that he had just suppressed reappeared, and he could only keep using internal force to regain control of his body.

Roth knew that his biggest weakness was that he had less internal force, but the current situation required him to constantly consume internal force to resist the strange poison of the succubus.

Now let alone defeat that succubus, he can't even get close to that splitting water ball!

The opponent that Fantasy found for itself is really targeted...... Roth had a secret hatred in his heart.

There are basically two principles of autonomous tracking flying props, either by sensing a specific breath, or by tracking a specific person or object in a curse-like way.

Rott slashed his palm, wrapped the blood in the internal force and threw it outward, and then suppressed his own blood and qi to run, but the water bombs ignored this little trick and still only pursued him.

β€”β€”

"It's the essence, and her spells are located by tracking the essence. Alas, he couldn't hear what he said here, and now if I wanted to intervene and tell him that I had to send more power to that illusion, would it be worth it...... No, even if he said it, he wouldn't have a solution himself, would he?"

β€”β€”

Lot was forced to withdraw from the area by the water bomb attack, which stopped as he retreated.

The succubus simply disappeared again, leaving only the water ball still suspended in the air.

As she said, she had no interest in the mortal Rott at the moment.

In order to calm the internal forces that could not function smoothly due to repeated loss of control, Roth's body trembled slightly, gasping for breath and sweating like rain.

At this distance, he could forcibly destroy the water ball by freeing the two internal forces stored in the long knife to burst out of the knife wind, but what was the point of this? It was just a spell that the other party released casually!

If he wants to win, then he must at least find a way to approach the succubus on his own strength alone.

Roth looked at the long knife in his hand and found himself faced with a dilemma.

If he gives up here, it will be far from trying his best, everything he has experienced in this illusion will be in vain, and he may not even be able to keep his memory.

But with all his strength and knowledge, there is only one tactic that has a chance to succeed, and that is to make good use of his half-dead internal strength in the face of self-loathing.

Hundreds of years ago, during the great exchange of war techniques and martial arts between the East and the West on the eve of the founding of the United Kingdom, people summed up the four basic attributes of internal force: [infiltration], [rushing], [attaching] (sticky), and [solid].

[Infiltration] both infiltration, or infiltration, the internal force of this attribute can penetrate the surface of the defense, directly from the inside to destroy the enemy, although there are also countermeasures, but it belongs to the kind of killing moves that are completely undefensible as long as you don't know the way to resist, in addition to the people who practice sonic wave skills, there are few people's internal force directly has the attribute of infiltration, but there are many martial arts that can cause the effect of infiltration, whether you have such martial arts in the Oriental martial arts and whether you have the ability to counter such martial arts is a dividing line between mediocre hands and masters.

There are almost no Western combat skills with this ability, which also makes the Western warriors in the first encounter with the Eastern martial arts when the overall rout, whether it is the magic of the enchantment or the armor of steel and fighting energy, there is almost no resistance in the face of penetration, in that short period of conflict, I don't know how many mages and warriors were shocked to death in the solid defense, even if in the future under the mediation or order of the true god, the two civilizations quickly reconciled and cooperated, and finally even ushered in a big exchange, but the scars left at that time have been passed down from generation to generation in some groups。

[Rush] is both impact, is the most common attribute, or spread or restriction, in short, the essence of most martial arts, combat skills, and even combat magic is to cause some kind of impact to damage the enemy by some means, and almost all fighting energy also belongs to this category.

The internal force of this attribute can be relatively easily displayed through martial arts and combat skills, and the effect is similar to that of other types of internal force, which also brings great room for improvement to the fighting spirit, and quickly eases the relationship between the warriors of the West and the martial arts of the East in the era of great exchange.

[Attached] is attached, compared to the pursuit of pure impact, some special internal forces or martial arts will enhance the lethality of moves by absorbing some elemental power, such as flame knife, ice sword and other techniques, there are also very few exceptions in the fighting spirit can do this, but more rely on the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts or the direct use of magic weapons.

After the big exchange, except for a few outstanding people, those families (often nobles) who inherited the special fighting spirit, as well as many people who risked the conflict of power to explore the path of demonic and martial dual cultivation were eliminated because of the changes brought by the internal forces of the East to the fighting spirit.

The last [solid] Both solidification, both to vaporize matter, even in the East is also a rare ability, in most cases represents a certain realm, but there are also special cases, such as life and death charms, can be gasified ice, this ice is almost nothing, after entering the human body is still gathered but not dispersed, the enemy's life and death are all in a thought, but it is extremely difficult to practice, even under the pressure of the true god Tianshan faction will make it public, in the end there are still very few people who can practice, if it is not the Tianshan faction internal strength of the cultivation method, then there is even more hope, the Tianshan faction only found that the original secret meaning is only to make the disciples not so ambitious, as time passes, it is also a joke。

During the Great Exchange, there were also people who believed that magic was just a strange road to the extreme [solid], which tried to summarize the fighting spirit and magic as an extreme internal force, but because it was strongly resisted by the mages, it finally failed.

It is recorded in "Cultivation and Leisure Practice", and the sword cultivation technique of Fengjianmen, which was passed on by Lot to Joel, is also a special case, unlike the life and death talisman that no one can practice, this sword mang, but unless Joel is a genius, anyone has to raise it for decades before it can be used, because this long cultivation period, in the end, is the result of no one cares.

But for Lot, the problem is not here at all, even if the sword is raised because it is too short to be used, he actually doesn't care, he doesn't think he is a genius in the first place.

The problem is that he can't raise this sword that should be raised by everyone, and all that is left for him is this strange internal force that has been abandoned halfway, seems to be attached to it, and is slimy.

He hated his half-internal strength.

But now, if he wants to win, he may have to use the characteristics of this internal force.
