Chapter 43: Schlorp Schlorp Schlorp!!!
Nadia stared at the dense, pitch-black forest before her, her delicate brows furrowed deeply.
“Was it my imagination? What was that feeling from before?”
A moment ago, while teaching Lydia, she had suddenly sensed a powerful evil force appear in the northern suburbs of Lunt. But by the time she arrived, she found nothing.
“Forget it. This isn’t Ir, it has nothing to do with me. As long as Shelley isn’t harmed, it’s fine.”
“Hm!?”
“The aura of a devil… in the slums!”
“Shelley is in danger!”
Because she had a limited number of spell slots each day, Nadia hadn’t prepared many teleportation spells. She could only use Fly to rush over as fast as possible.
“Please be safe!”
My love…
**
“He’s really not here…”
“We can proceed as planned.”
**
With one arm wrapped around Lilith’s slender waist, Shelley bantered with the pursuing devil on the ground in Abyssal.
“Idiot. Who summons their true form to the Material Plane?”
“Get… down… here!”
Shelley watched with amusement as the Barbed Devil impotently smashed houses below, utterly speechless.
“You really are an idiot. Do you think this is the Blood War?”
“Aside from demons, who would be stupid enough to just charge in headfirst?”
“And you call yourself a devil!”
As expected of the less-intelligent Barbed Devil. The shame of all devilkind.
Calculating the timing, Shelley dodged the devil’s next teleport and began to analyze the situation.
“In our current state, neither of us can deal a fatal blow to the Barbed Devil.”
“The only option now is to lure it to Princess Elena…”
“But before that, I need to completely incapacitate Miss Hound here, and while I’m at it, cure her disease.”
Beast-eared girls cannot be allowed to go extinct like this!
Gently patting Lilith, who had her eyes shut and was curled into a ball, Shelley whispered in her ear, “Will you submit to me? If not, I’ll drop you. Or… we could just keep flying higher.”
Seeing the stark contrast between her current fragile state and her previous ferocity, Shelley’s sadistic side was stimulated. He didn’t even wait for Lilith’s answer and began to ascend rapidly.
“Cough, cough… You!”
“You only have two choices: submit, or don’t.”
Lilith, who had been keeping her eyes squeezed shut, tried to struggle upon hearing his words, but she was simply too weak. Defeated, she could only remain still.
Submit? To you, this opportunistic devil?
But… for now, I have to play along to get him to put me down.
Gritting her teeth, Lilith mumbled, “I sub…”
“Ah, forget it. I was just teasing you.”
Huh????
Lilith was about to scream when she suddenly felt a cold sensation on her face, the icy touch of the wind against her skin.
She opened her eyes in terror to find Shelley holding her with a grin, and then he leaned in and kissed her forcefully.
“Mmph! Mmph mmph! Mmph…”
Lilith felt a sensation she had never experienced before. A rising tide of pleasure washed over her fragile soul like a flood.
(Barbed Devil: Huh? Is it raining?)
At the same time, she felt her body grow heavy, on the verge of losing consciousness completely.
Why is this happening…
What’s going on?
It was just a kiss… I…
Why do I feel this way about him…
[Abandoned by her god, abandoned by everyone.]
[You chose to strike when she was at her most vulnerable.]
[A sensation she has never felt before.]
[Making her intoxicated by a kiss.]
[You are becoming more and more like an incubus!]
[Lilith Conquest Progress: 20%]
“Oh, so it’s Lilith. Good doggy.”
It’s not nice to lie. I’ll have to give you another little kiss.
Shelley leaned in and kissed her again.
Lilith clutched at Shelley’s clothes, her feet curling up as she trembled, her eyes glazed over.
This was because Shelley’s kiss was no ordinary kiss.
It was the innate ability of a male incubus!
[Perception Drain (Innate Ability): A male incubus can drain a mortal’s perception through intimate acts or kissing. The victim suffers 4 points of Perception damage.]
[If the victim is unwilling, the male incubus must first succeed on a grapple check to use this ability.]
[Furthermore, kissing a male incubus inflicts an effect similar to the spell Suggestion, compelling the victim to accept another kiss.]
[The victim must pass a Will save to resist the Suggestion effect. The saving throw DC is based on Charisma.]
“I feel less like an incubus and more like a Mind Flayer right now…”
It’s all that schlorping sound…
Though an incubus kisses, while a Mind Flayer sucks out brains…
“Cure Wounds.”
Seeing her brow relax, he gave her a gentle peck this time and whispered, “Don’t worry. I won’t abandon you.”
“I swear.”
Why are you doing this?
What kind of person are you?
I can’t figure it out at all…
Her eyes filled with a mixture of daze and confusion, Lilith stared at the man just inches from her face and finally lost consciousness.
[Lead her to hell, then bring her to heaven.]
[Complex methods are more effective on simple people.]
[Leaving a heart full of questions to fester.]
[Lilith Conquest Progress: 23%]
Watching her body revert to its original form, Shelley removed the insignia from her clothes and draped his own shirt over her. He helped her put her mask back on, covering her scarred face, and sighed.
“The wounds from her childhood… did she do that to herself?”
“Sigh. Well, it’s not a difficult problem to solve.”
Shelley held the completely unconscious Lilith and flew through the air toward Elena, with a drenched Barbed Devil still in pursuit below.
“Elena~ Help me~” he called out with a laugh.
**
“Cough, cough… It’s here!”
Lying in a pool of her own blood, Lamb looked past Elena and managed a weak smile.
That thief definitely has a legendary-tier item on him! If he’s used as the sacrifice, a legendary devil will surely emerge!
“You will… regret not rushing over there sooner!”
Elena glanced at her but didn’t finish her off. Instead, she struck up a conversation.
“Don’t your teachings tell you to embrace pain? Why are you so afraid now?”
“Shouldn’t you be… It’s here? Huh? Shelley???”
As Elena was speaking, she saw Shelley flying toward them through the sky, holding an unconscious woman in his arms.
Huh???
I was so worried about you!
And you come back carrying another woman!?
[She is very angry!]
[Elena Conquest Progress: 37%]
She’s jealous already?
Are you going to explode later?
Sensing the dangerous situation, Shelley quickly shouted, “Lady Elena, be careful, there’s a devil… Hiss!”
I’m blind!
The light radiating from Elena’s gear was so bright it made Shelley want to curl up and cry.
She’s so loaded!
It’s fine. It’s okay for a rich lady to be a little jealous.
It’s actually very cute. I like it!
