Chapter 43
You are the succubus!
Otmu remained expressionless, only taking a slight half-step back to stand behind Yin Xue.
Yin Xue flapped his demonic wings, tilted his head, and looked at the three warriors at the door who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.
Instead of fear, a mocking smile appeared in his blood-red eyes.
The voice was crisp yet laced with sarcasm.
"Hey, aren't these the brave warriors who almost lost their pants at the casino? What, you've followed me here? Are you here to fulfill your bet, or... to try and get back the gold coins you lost?"
Upon hearing her words, Zhou Buyan's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
After reporting to the city lord's mansion, the three of them went to the casino to have some fun.
Unexpectedly, I happened to run into Ottoman who only had 20 gold coins.
I was thinking of playing a trick on this country bumpkin and teaching him a lesson.
Who would have thought that they would suffer a series of defeats within two hours, losing a huge sum of more than 10,000 gold coins!
As brave warriors, they could not swallow this insult, so they followed Otmu before dawn.
This scene unfolded because they wanted to win back the money they had lost gambling.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
The male warrior wielding a battle axe beside Zhou Buyan roared.
"We sensed a dark aura emanating from you and tracked you here! Eliminating monsters and protecting the people is the duty of us heroes! It has nothing to do with the betting!"
"That's right!"
Zhou Buyan immediately straightened his chest and replied righteously.
"Gambling wins and losses are trivial! We've discovered you infiltrated a sacred church and committed murder."
He pointed to the priest on the ground.
"As heroes, how can we stand idly by! Today, we will act on behalf of Heaven and vanquish you, you demon! And while we're at it... we'll confiscate the money you won through dishonest means!"
Hearing this flawed declaration, Yin Xue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She pointed at Zhou Buyan with her little finger, her wings fluttering as she laughed.
"Hahaha! You people are all the same. You're all thinking about those gold coins, but you insist on spouting some grand theory."
Zhou Buyan blushed with embarrassment and became so angry that he no longer cared about maintaining his image.
He suddenly drew the lightsaber from his waist, its tip pointing directly at Yin Xue.
"Monsters! Stop your rampage! It's only right for heroes to vanquish monsters! No excuses needed! Brothers, charge!"
"That's more like it."
Yin Xue's smile vanished, a cold fighting spirit flashing in his blood-red eyes.
"Just fight, stop wasting so much breath."
She took a deep breath, and dark red magic power surged out from her body like a tidal wave!
"Perfect, let me test how much of my power I've recovered after absorbing this fragment!"
Before she could finish speaking, her petite body was suddenly enveloped by a dense, impenetrable aura of blood!
The blood cell rapidly expanded and deformed.
In the blink of an eye, it grew to be as tall as a person, and its surface writhed violently as if boiling!
The three heroes at the door changed their expressions, sensing the terrifying magical energy emanating from the blood sphere, and immediately assumed a fighting stance.
The warriors stood in front, and the female mage began to chant softly.
A dazzling sharpness also shone on Zhou Buyan's lightsaber.
Just then—
With a soft "pop," the enormous blood sphere shattered and dissipated like a bubble.
Where it had been hovering, Yin Xue's figure reappeared.
But it's completely different now!
It's no longer that tiny, palm-sized thing that could be hidden in a pocket.
At this moment, her figure grew taller and transformed into the appearance of a human girl!
A tight-fitting dark red leather armor accentuated her slender figure.
Her fiery red hair cascaded over her shoulders like a burning waterfall.
The originally small demon wings have become wider and more powerful, and with a gentle flap, they bring up a sweet and pungent air.
A cold smile played on her lips.
"What...what kind of monster is this?!"
The warrior wielding the battle axe exclaimed in surprise, his voice trembling almost imperceptibly.
This scene startled Zhou Buyan and his companions, as they had never seen a monster that could change its form before.
However, they both breathed a sigh of relief after sensing Yin Xue's aura.
The opponent is only level 20.
Meanwhile, the other two of the three on their side were already level 29.
Zhou Buyan was over level 30, making it incredibly easy for him to deal with a level 20 monster.
"Hmph, playing tricks, is this your true form? Die, succubus!"
Upon hearing the term "succubus," Yin Xue was visibly taken aback.
"You're the succubus! Your whole family are succubi!"
She stomped her foot in anger; in her girlish form, this action lacked some of her majesty and gained a touch of coquettishness.
But the dark red magic surging around him instantly became even more violent.
Zhou Buyan ignored her protest. In his perception, the aura of the monster in front of him was indeed only around level 20.
Although the changes in appearance are somewhat intimidating, the difference in level is real.
"Kai, charge! Finish this quickly!"
"roar!"
The burly warrior known as Akai let out a battle cry.
With his muscles bulging, he stomped the ground and charged towards Yin Xue like a cannonball.
He swung the battle axe, which shone with an earthy yellow light, and brought it down on Yin Xue's head!
The power of a level 29 hero is terrifying.
At the same time, another female warrior wielding a staff also made her move.
Light converged at the tip of the staff, and several magical missiles, crackling with electricity, arrived first.
The projectiles shot towards Yin Xue in a triangular formation, blocking any possible escape route for her.
The two worked together seamlessly, clearly indicating they often fought side-by-side.
Faced with this fierce and overwhelming attack from both above and below.
Yin Xue didn't even lift his eyelids.
She didn't even glance at it.
Just as the battle axe was about to strike her head and the magic missile was within reach—Yin Xue moved.
No, rather than moving, it's more accurate to say that her body suddenly turned into a thick cloud of blood mist!
laugh--!
The battle axe slammed into the blood mist, but it felt like it had struck the thickest swamp.
All the force was instantly absorbed and vanished into nothingness.
The few lightning missiles that shot into the blood mist only stirred up a few insignificant ripples before disappearing silently.
"What?!"
When Akai's attack missed, alarm bells rang in his mind, and he instinctively wanted to draw his axe and retreat.
But it was too late.
The cloud of blood mist seemed to possess a life of its own, instantly swirling and contracting, reforming into a crimson figure.
It appeared less than a foot away from Akai!
She even yawned while maintaining a relaxed posture with her arms crossed.
He simply flicked his right index finger.
"Ugh—!!!"
Ah Kai suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream!
His massive body stiffened instantly, and the battle axe in his hand clattered to the ground.
His exposed skin, especially the veins on his neck and arms, bulged and writhed wildly like countless awakened earthworms, their color rapidly changing from blue to purple, and then to a terrifying deep red!
His eyes bulged out, bloodshot, as if they were about to explode.
Blood Manipulation - Reversal!
His blood-red pupils were utterly indifferent, as if he were doing something trivial.
She manipulated the blood in Akai's body, forcibly reversing its flow, impacting his heart, and tearing his blood vessels!
"Kai!"
The female warrior named Lilith screamed in terror upon seeing this.
He immediately turned his staff around, and an even more solid shield of holy light was about to envelop his companion.
"Don't rush, it's your turn."
Yin Xue's voice rang in her ears like a ghost.
The female warrior turned around in horror and found that Yin Xue had somehow drifted in front of her, and the two were almost touching nose to nose!
She could clearly see her own terrified face reflected in the other person's inhuman pupils.
Yin Xue gently blew a breath towards her.
call--
A sweet aroma filled Lilith's nostrils.
That was no ordinary aura, but a wisp of extremely fine blood mist that shimmered with an eerie red light!
Blood mist instantly enveloped Lilith's head.
They ignored the meager magical shield she hastily erected.
It burrowed into her mouth, nose, and ears like a living thing!
"Heh...heh..."
The female warrior's spellcasting abruptly stopped, and her staff slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground.
She clutched her throat with both hands, her face contorted in extreme pain and a look of suffocation.
She could feel the blood mist that had invaded her body like countless tiny knives, frantically cutting into her respiratory tract and lungs.
It even spreads along the blood vessels!
Blood Magic: Crimson Asphyxiation!
All of this happened too fast; from the moment Akai made his move to the moment his two companions were in dire straits, only a few breaths had passed.
The composure and disdain on Zhou Buyan's face had vanished, replaced by disbelief and horror.
