Chapter 578: Blacky, Bite Her

“What right do you have to lecture me?”

Shadow Succubus sighed and shook her head helplessly when Lin Jie spoke as a distressed look fell upon her face. She said solemnly, “You are hopeless! Being unwilling to sacrifice for the country, you are being a selfish ingrate. For China, we are willing to leech off others and be constantly hunted down, but you are unwilling to just hand some items over.”

Lin Jie began sniggering. ‘What a load of rubbish!’ From her point of view, everything they did was in the name of justice, and it was all selfless and honorable. It was all for the people and country. Everyone must be reverent and respectful towards them and concede all forms of extortion. If they refused, they would be letting their country and the world down—what kind of sick joke was that? Were they planning to cheat children with such inferior tricks?

“Make yourself better, or make the world better.” Lin Jie said faintly, “If anyone dares to attack China, I will be standing right at the front line, instead of you guys! I am willing to die for China because I love the country, but you all will definitely not be the reason.”

“Don’t waste your words anymore, just kill them!” Qiu Yuan was always short-tempered, and naturally, Shadow Succubus’ flawed theory enraged her.

“Mm, kill them.” Lin Jie couldn’t bother to spout anymore bullsh*t with that woman. People with different principles could never work together, and their current situation was such an example.

After living through two lives, Lin Jie was no longer a feisty and conceited young chap, so her cheap tricks wouldn’t work on him.

A look of contempt fell upon Shadow Succubus’ face as she preached to deaf ears. She grew frosty and spoke eerily. “If you hand over Broken Blade and Book of the Age, I will let you guys off. You can still be the leader, and I will not interfere. Brotherhood can even become our confidants and ambassadors in the land.”

Bam!

A brilliant blade ray was the response she received! After hearing so much nonsense, Lin Jie finally had enough! This woman and her condescending look had annoyed Lin Jie for quite some time already.

Broken Blade was wielded, and Shield Cut slashed towards Shadow Succubus. Qiu Yuan attacked at the same time as she unleashed Fallen Flowers towards Shadow Succubus’ head.

“Thorns!” Shadow Succubus held out both hands, and two thorny stems sprouted from beneath their feet and stabbed into their thighs.

[Thorn]: It deals damage to enemies within a range while summoning whiplash thorns continuously. Extra damage will be dealt with every passing second.

-756!

As Shadow Succubus was a Boss-level character that led a wave of monsters during this city siege, her attributes would be boosted considerably, resulting in decent attacking power. Hence, Lin Jie’s health points were depleted by a 1/8.

Shadow Succubus’ job was Botany Summoner, a subset under the Summoners, and as its name suggested, she was able to summon plants to fight for her, just like the vast number of Garden Fear Devils. If they were to line up for battle, they would be a threat!

“Vines!” Shadow Succubus heaved out her words as a faint fragrance descended onto the ground while stems of piercing veins grew out and struck out towards Qiu Yuan.

“Let me take control of this, Lone Wolf, kill her!” Black silk threads flowed around Qiu Yuan’s pupils, gradually forming a pair of dark eyes as she probed out this Thorny Queen’s stats.

This was Qiu Yuan’s advanced reconnoitering skill [Dark Pupils], other than finding out the opponents’ stats, it was also able to identify their weaknesses. It was a skill that was comparable to Lin Jie’s identification technique.

[Thorn Queen•Shadow Succubus] (Dark Gold Overlord)

Level: 60

Health Points: 20,000

Magic Attack: ???

Defense: 300

Special Feature: Skilled in Botany Summoning

‘Shadow Succubus’ stats are so weak! As a Dark Gold Overlord, she only has 20,000 HP? This is blasphemy, I will feel sorry for myself if I can’t defeat her soon!’ thought Qiu Yuan.

What she did not know was that these Bosses were blacklisted by the system, so their health bars were intentionally lowered for players to have an easier time to kill them. Qiu Yuan wielded her long spear as an agonistic display, before striking it straight towards her skull!

Shadow Succubus tilted her head and dodged the attack accurately and efficiently—it was micro-level manipulation.

“Hmph, hmph, three points double-edged spear!” Qiu Yuan exclaimed, and her black crystal tip vibrated as two blades burgeoned out from the sides and sliced Shadow Succubus’ face.

-495!

Shadow Succubus’ eyes widened as she grew enraged, her calm demeanor was broken as her beautiful face grew savage and hideous. She clawed towards Qiu Yuan and growled, “You dare to scratch my face!? Die, ahhhh!”

Lin Jie broke apart the thorns and veins on the ground and was about to attack, but Shadow Succubus was one step ahead!

Despite her hysterical appearance, her claws were deep-laid as they had been hardened through [Botany Hardening] into Piranha Plant’s fangs with the Thorn Seeds on her left and Vein Seeds on her right.

Once it hit the target, the seeds embedded in Qiu Yuan would begin sprouting before killing her ultimately. The process was disgusting and gross, as well. One could only imagine how much trauma that would leave a girl when they saw their body covered in unknown plants before getting sucked dry to death.

“Scratch? Do you think that was merely a scratch?” Qiu Yuan gave her a profound smile before shouting, “Do you think that I have only obtained this Book of the Age? I shall let you have a taste of my ultimate move! Blacky, come on out! Bite her!”

Following Qiu Yuan’s command, the two blades at the side of her spear extended and revealed a huge dark monster with a mouthful of teeth that bit onto Shadow Succubus’ face!

This time was the pet—Inferno Chasm, that she had stuck into the Book of the Age after obtaining it. Other than it’s graceful snake-like appearance, there was only a huge mouth perched on its head, its razor-sharp teeth had an eerie glow, and its appearance only struck fear in the hearts of many. The Inferno Chasm only appeared for one reason—to eat!

In the previous life, Ophadi Wantless had once wandered through some tribes and released a Dark Gold Inferno Chasm accidentally. This monster began ravaging through the helpless Undead villagers before swallowing monsters, players, and the strong soldiers that were guarding the city. Ultimately, it had become a disaster!

The Royal Capital of Darkness’ guarding Bone Dragon had been chewed and swallowed by the Inferno Chasm in one bite, leaving no scraps behind! 20 Undead Archmages had been required in the end to bring it to its knees!

Of course, Qiu Yuan’s Inferno Chasm wasn’t as powerful. However, it seemed to be an ancient biological creature as its bloodline was purer.

Kacha—

The Inferno Chasm called Blacky bit Shadow Succubus’ face boldly and ripped off a slice of flesh, leaving behind a bloody hole.

Inferno Chasm’s attacks would not deal any damage, but it would add on Silence, Binding, Speed Decrease, Weaken, Faint, Curse, and other random abnormalities. When the target’s body structure had been damaged by 70%, there would be a certain chance of instakill!

Furthermore, the Inferno Chasm’s power was in direct proportion to its structure and mouth size.

The Inferno Chasm in the previous life had been as large as a tall mountain! That was why it had been capable of swallowing the Bone Dragon.

“Ah!” Shadow Succubus exclaimed out loud, despite being a professional player, she was still a female. She couldn’t help but be disgusted when she saw the gross monster for the very first time.

The Inferno Chasm normally hid at the long spear’s tips, and would only reveal itself occasionally during the ‘three-point double-edged’ state. Now that it fully revealed itself, Shadow Succubus received a great shock.

This was the reason why players had to train their mental endurance! One had to maintain their composure even if their opponent were a demon. Otherwise, they would settle into a state of shock, just like how Shadow Succubus was now.

At that moment, Lin Jie’s Broken Blade had reached Shadow Succubus’ throat! He sliced, and warm blood sprayed as Shadow Succubus’ health points decreased by 1/10! The skin which the blade was in contact with throbbed continuously as Army Obliteration was unleashed, and bloody fogs rose from the neck!

Qiu Yuan’s Inferno Chasm Blacky did not waste any time in hurtling towards Shadow Succubus’ hands and begun sucking. This scene was beyond horrifying, and even Lin Jie couldn’t help but shudder. On the other hand, Qiu Yuan kept her cool still.

Who knew of the hardships she had gone through after leaving the team? It was a common fact that the most valuable Guild of Light’s map had to do with the Undead, however, they all looked hideous and savage. This was still rather acceptable when traveling in teams, but what if it was a solo trip?

In order to overcome her fear, Qiu Yuan had spent an entire week watching horror movies before entering the Undead map all by herself to train her bravery—it seemed like it finally paid off.

“Let’s fight a quick battle, Clomaros’ Kill, die!” Lin Jie whipped down and was about to instakill her.

“Monster, monster!” At that moment, Shadow Succubus finally reacted, and she saw the Inferno Chasm attached to her hands, she shuddered and screamed out of fear.

Her professionalism could be seen as she found the most optimal angle before kicking off with her feet and flew towards the Garden Fear Devil’s mouth.

Qiu Yuan was shocked as she shouted, “Lone Wolf, this is the parasitized plant, and it’s the real Dark Gold Boss. It’s the critical item she needs to form a body. Hurry, drag her out!”

“Death Grip!”

Lin Jie’s right arm extended out and probed towards the Garden Fear Devil’s mouth as he planned to drag Shadow Succubus out. How would Lin Jie miss her intention? How could he just let her succeed?

Shadow Succubus ground her teeth before putting her palms together. “Plant Bed Protection.” Seeds began sprouting and wrapping her up in between.

At that moment, Death Grip arrived, and with a huge pull, the veins and leaves wrapping her up were ripped apart! Shadow Succubus let out a relieved sigh as she knew that Death Grip was only capable of ripping apart the outer layers of protective plants and would not have additional strength to kill her.

“That damned b*tch, dared to use such a disgusting creature to touch my perfect body. When we defeat the Brotherhood, I will use a 100 bloodsucking leeches to repay you!” Shadow Succubus’ hate towards Qiu Yuan was overwhelming!

Pacha—

The external plant bed was ripped away, but just as Shadow Succubus expected, Death Grip’s strength was used up as it vanished.

Shadow Succubus relaxed, and she thought to herself, ‘Great!’ As long as she entered the Fear Devil Boss’ stomach, she would be able to manipulate the Boss to kill them.

At this moment, a pitch-black serpentis creature snuck in and bit hard onto Shadow Succubus’ head, and its razor-sharp teeth ground and chewed continuously, before—swallowing her!
