Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
“Don’t worry, you are a very, very pure succubus.”
Xi Wei walked into the conference hall with Connie, his cold gaze locking onto the succubus like a sharp sword.
“But the warriors under my command will not be bewitched by a mere succubus.”
As if in response to Xi Wei’s words, the four guards turned in unison, chests puffed out, fists placed solemnly on their chests, and saluted Xi Wei with grave expressions.
“Loyalty to Your Majesty!”
The resounding roar echoed throughout the entire conference hall, filling Elizabeth with even greater horror.
These soldiers were not fools.
Their loyalty to the King of Winter had simply surpassed the succubus’s enchanting abilities. Their will was as solid as rock, utterly unshakeable.
At this moment, Elizabeth became even more certain of her thoughts. These soldiers must be the elite of the elites, the core strength of Winter Fort.
Then her defeat was not unjust.
It was almost as if the King of Winter thought too highly of her, sending such elites to guard her.
She was just a weak succubus, with nothing to boast about except her enchanting abilities and her own tender body.
In the span of a few words, Xi Wei had already walked up to the panicked succubus and cornered her against the wall. If not for the succubus revealing her wings and tail,
This scene would have looked like the King of Winter bullying an innocent girl.
“Some time ago, you bewitched a horse merchant and sent him to bring over a demi girl. This girl is full of curses, and I am already aware of the specifics of these curses.”
“I am asking you now, what are the methods to resolve these curses? As a pure demon, don’t tell me you don’t know.”
Elizabeth was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this. She didn’t even know about many of the curses on the demi. She could only vaguely guess based on the demon’s sensitivity to curses, as Lord Felton had no obligation to explain them.
But what was this human in front of her saying?
He said he already knew everything!?
Elizabeth found it laughable, but she dared not laugh. Fear of death was a basic tenet for any rational demon. If one could avoid death, they would. As long as they were alive, even becoming a heat weapon was acceptable.
“Your Majesty, the respected King of Winter, I truly don’t know what curses are on the demi. If I did, I would tell you everything without reservation. I swear to the great Lord of the Abyss, Satan.”
Elizabeth spoke righteously and solemnly, but Xi Wei didn’t believe a word of it. He winked at Connie, signaling her to use Dragon Speech.
Connie immediately stepped forward, her azure eyes gazing into the succubus’s eyes. Within her ocean-like eyes, it seemed as if the eyes of a colorful giant dragon overlapped with Connie’s pupils.
“Ged-wongen-waar-heid!”
A soft, sweet voice, carrying a strange dragon roar, fleetingly passed.
The succubus trembled all over, her eyes becoming vacant for a moment before returning to normal.
“How many demons have you bewitched?”
Xi Wei asked directly, testing the effect of Connie’s Dragon Speech.
“18,796.”
Elizabeth blurted out.
Immediately, she panicked and covered her mouth, her eyes wide with shock, looking somewhat lost.
“You… what did you do to me?”
“Nothing much, just making you tell the truth as much as possible.”
Xi Wei shrugged, silently admiring the succubus’s capacity once again.
“One more question, what is your impression of Lord Felton?”
Elizabeth instinctively felt that answering this question was not allowed. She tightly covered her mouth and made muffled sounds, but Connie immediately dislocated her arm joints with two “cracking” sounds.
“His Highness Felton is a cruel tyrant, a goat-headed pervert who likes to drive small cars.”
“Mmmph…”
Elizabeth burst into tears after saying that. She couldn’t believe these were words she would say.
The Material Plane was too terrifying.
How could there be humans who understood how to play with minds better than demons?!
If only she could return to the Abyss, she would swear to the great Demon God Satan.
She would never set foot in the Material Plane again!
“Very good, it seems to be very effective.”
Xi Wei patted Connie’s little head with satisfaction. The little lecherous dragon immediately narrowed her eyes, looking as if she was enjoying it. Even her dragon tail was wagging.
“Then… can Darling have a reward?”
Connie asked expectantly. As a dragon loli who thrived on praise, asking for rewards at any time had become a basic skill.
“You’ll have a reward. I’ll treat you to a lollipop later!”
Xi Wei was in a great mood and readily agreed. Connie, like those girls, loved sweets, and he, the King of Winter, had no shortage of them.
“Lollipop!”
Connie’s eyes lit up, pink hearts appearing in her big azure eyes. Even Elizabeth, standing nearby, looked somewhat surprised.
She clearly hadn’t used any enchantment skills.
What was up with this female giant dragon?!
Had this King of Winter reached the point where he could charm others simply by speaking?
Elizabeth felt she had grasped the crux of the issue. Indeed, the Material Plane was too dangerous; only the Abyss was the safest and most peaceful haven.
“The four curses are the Love Poison Curse, the Heart Puppet Curse, the Soul Seizing Curse, and the Life Release Curse.”
“Now tell me the methods to remove these curses.”
Xi Wei stared intently at the succubus, expecting an answer from her.
And the succubus before him did not disappoint. After a moment’s thought, she slowly began to speak:
“The method to remove the Love Poison Curse requires the fruit of the Demon Eye Tree that grows near the Abyss Eye. The Demon Eye Tree fruit is highly poisonous. When removing the curse, it needs to be soaked in demon blood, and demonic energy must be used to cleanse the poison from the fruit.”
“This is the demonic method. As for how to remove it for humans, I don’t know.”
“For the Heart Puppet Curse, one can directly consume a succubus’s heart. However, the consumer will also be half-succubified. The extent of this is unclear.”
Elizabeth’s voice trembled slightly as she said this. She herself was a succubus, and it seemed she already understood her fate.
But she was utterly powerless to resist.
Under the effect of Dragon Speech, she continued without hesitation:
“The Life Release Curse simply prevents the prey from committing suicide. If it must be removed, one needs to hunt a lich and transfer the Life Release Curse onto its soul jar.”
“Finally, the Soul Seizing Curse can only be removed by killing the caster. There is no special method.”
Elizabeth finished speaking, her body drenched in sweat, and she slumped to the ground helplessly.
“My Lord, please don’t kill me… A succubus’s heart, yes, a succubus’s heart! I can trick my sisters in the Abyss into coming up, and then you can have as many succubus hearts as you need.”
“My heart has already turned black, there’s no way to remove the curse… My heart can be used to remove curses perfectly.”
Under the influence of Dragon Speech, Elizabeth’s false words were instantly interrupted, and she immediately began speaking the truth.
