The Arisugawa had been ensnared by a Succubus’s sensitivity-enhancing spell.
The wind caressing my skin, the voices of my companions worrying about me, the rustle of my clothes, the saliva I swallowed down my throat—everything was agony. My skin felt raw and painful, and sounds echoed like thunder in my head.
“Arisugawa, what’s wrong?! Does something hurt?”
“Fufu, I told you, didn’t I? It’s a spell to increase sensitivity. With this spell, any frigid person will become strangely aroused as if they’ve entered heat.”
What was that? Damn it, I’d fallen for a troublesome spell. As the Succubus said, even the friction of cloth brought a painful stimulus. It wasn’t the feeling of arousal, though. I could no longer stand and crouched down where I was.
“What did you say, you demon whore? How did you even get here? You should be in Hell!”
Sharin drew her dagger and stood in front of me.
“It was difficult, coming to the human world. The gates connecting Hell and this world open sometimes due to various factors. Powerful magic, distortions in magic power, and so on. That’s why I was constantly searching for that gate. Unfortunately, lower-class demons like me don’t have the power to open it ourselves, so we wait for an opportunity like this. Then we get stronger by stealing vital energy from virgin guys like you.”
So, she’d been wandering through Hell, diligently searching for that escape route. Haha, I wanted to laugh at how comical it was, but right now, even uttering a sound was difficult for me.
“Now, stand aside if you don’t want to get hurt. Let me tell you, I may be low-class, but I am still a demon, so I’m much stronger than you guys.”
“You’re the one who should stand aside!”
I saw Veronica lunge towards the Succubus. But before her attack could land, she was grabbed by the neck with something like psychokinesis and slammed to the ground.
“See? Didn’t I tell you? You guys just watch your boyfriend’s pathetic animal-like state. Oh, wait, that’s not right, because he’s a virgin.”
Saying that, the Succubus let out a loud, harsh laugh. Damn it, she was saying whatever she pleased.
“Say whatever you want. Arisugawa, I’m borrowing your dagger.”
Sharin pulled the Enchanted Sword from my waist. Philiana also drew her sword, ready for battle.
“How foolish. Well, since you’re just in the way, disappear quickly.”
The Succubus leaped high into the air and began attacking Sharin on the ground. Purple fireballs struck the ground, momentarily illuminating the surroundings eerily. Scattered embers were carried by the wind. During that opening, Elana unleashed a fire magic spell towards the sky.
Fireballs, like rocket fireworks, rained down on the Succubus.
“Do you really think such a trivial trick will work?”
The demon raised both hands above her head and conjured a giant fireball. Run, Elana…! My scream was soundless as her body was engulfed in hellfire.
