“……!?”
Contrary to my expectation of a sure hit, the Succubus’s body, which touched the shield, turned into black smoke, and I passed right through it. What kind of skill is this? Anyway, it’s clear that the attack failed. I turned around again and looked at the Succubus positioned behind me.
“Hehe, your surprised expression is cute.”
The Succubus, which had scattered into black smoke, was in the same place.
[The Succubus uses Black Wave.]
‘A skill message?’
Simultaneously, the black smoke I saw earlier spread out from the Succubus’s hand, which was stretched out towards me. Even if I get hit by this kind of attack, I won’t die, but……
“Elsyke’s Phantom Shift.”
There’s no need to take the hit. I simply moved behind the Succubus to avoid the attack and immediately swung the Roar of the Thunder Dragon.
“Strong Strike!”
Crackle!━
[Skill Damage! 1,497.]
“Kyaak!”
‘……This is strange?’
It avoided the Giant’s Sprint by turning into smoke, but it couldn’t do it now. Is it because it was a surprise attack? Anyway, Raz’s supporting fire followed towards the staggering Succubus from my attack, and Yua also approached me and attacked the Succubus.
‘Let’s fight for now.’
Right now, attacking was a priority over worrying about what happened. Thinking that, I continued to stick to the Succubus and swing the hammer, and soon I could see the Succubus’s body turning into black fog once again.
And then, the Succubus allows the next attack immediately.
Seeing it suddenly turn into fog and then continuously allow attacks afterward, something flashed in my mind.
‘Ah, I think I get it now.’
It seems like there’s a skill that allows it to avoid one attack every 10 seconds? I was flustered at first because I didn’t know anything, but after realizing that fact, I even felt like it was nothing.
Can’t I just keep hitting it like now?
It would be a problem if it avoided something like Giant’s Sprint, but it’s not a problem even if it avoids a normal attack once.
“You…… are stronger than I thought?”
However, the problem was that the Succubus was avoiding most of the attacks with its unique agility despite being attacked by three people. And at that moment, I had the illusion that the red eyes of the Succubus, who uttered those words, were shining.
[The Succubus uses Dream’s Pleasure.]
[Attempting to resist with the related stat ‘ Fighting Spirit ‘.]
[The Succubus’s Dream’s Pleasure receives an additional bonus based on gender.]
[Resistance is futile.]
‘Huh?’
Pot━
Before I could even finish reading the message that popped up, my vision was covered in darkness and I was transported to a strange place.
‘Where am I?’
Is this a prison? The place I was moved to was dimly lit, so I could roughly tell what kind of place it was, but I couldn’t tell where it was. Anyway, while looking around the narrow room made of old bricks, I soon realized that both my arms were tied with chains.
“What the? Why am I tied up?”
Besides, there’s no weapon or shield. The two most important pieces of equipment for me were gone. Panicked, I tried to escape from this place, but the tied chains showed no sign of loosening.
Creak━
Suddenly, the door in front of me opened, and soon I saw the Succubus I was fighting with just a moment ago entering. Me tied up and the Succubus leisurely entering. For some reason, it was a situation that even felt ominous.
“You’re a very annoying intruder. I never thought I’d be attacked like this.”
“……”
“Huh? Why are you glaring at me like that?”
“What did you do?”
“I dragged you into my space. Now, shall we begin?”
The Succubus, who uttered the meaningful word ‘begin,’ approached me and very naturally kissed me. Even until then, I was momentarily dazed, not understanding what was happening, and then I was startled.
‘No, is this possible in Twilight?’
Maybe it’s because it’s a Succubus, but this situation was extremely embarrassing. The problem was that there was nothing I could do. Besides, for some reason, I felt like my strength was gradually draining away.
‘Ah…… Shit, this feeling……’
It’s a similar feeling to when I collapsed from Intuition. When the memory I didn’t even want to remember came to mind, my vision was once again covered in darkness.
“Rudin!”
“Whew.”
As my vision, covered in darkness, regained light, I was located in the boss room where I fought the Succubus. Doing this kind of thing in the middle of a sacred battle. For some reason, I felt annoyed and immediately checked the few message windows that popped up.
[You have been drained of your energy by the Succubus.]
[Your current Health and Magic Power are reduced by 50%.]
[Health and Magic Power reduced by 7052/1815.]
[The Succubus’s Health is restored by 17,734.]
[The Succubus’s level increases.]
“Huh? Why did the Succubus’s level go up?”
Raz’s bewildered cry. Judging from his reaction, it seems like only the message about the level increase appeared. On the other hand, I, who knew what happened, glared at the Succubus that appeared a little later.
“Ah~ As expected, you’re amazing.”
“Rudin, what happened?”
“Just attack.”
With a short answer, I rush in. Although I was caught off guard by an unexpected attack, the fact that we were still at an advantage remained unchanged. Thinking that, I rushed in, but seeing the Succubus dodging the attacks even more leisurely than before, I realized something was wrong.
‘This isn’t just a stat increase from a 1 level up.’
“Thank you. As a reward, I’ll kill you last.”
‘Huh?’
The Succubus, who suddenly said those words, turned her gaze towards Yua as if targeting her. I didn’t know what would happen if the Succubus, whose level had now increased, attacked Yua.
I have to do something quickly!
“Provoking Shout!”
Bang!━
I cast Provoke in a hurry. And the red aura spreading out. Following that, I could see the Succubus turning her head back towards me after being touched by the aura.
“……No, I think it’s better to deal with you first.”
‘Did it work?’
Provoking Shout has about a 10% chance of provoking a target with higher Intelligence than me, and judging from the reaction, it seemed like that 10% had triggered. Of course, since Provoke’s level has also increased, the probability would be higher than 10%, but still.
Anyway, I dealt with the Succubus who turned her attention back to me, but this wasn’t easy either.
“Ahahaha! Do you think you can catch me with that level of movement?!”
“Ugh, all you do is dodge.”
“No, I’m just playing around.”
And then the Succubus raises her hand. In line with that action, a gray spear formed on the ceiling and plunged downwards, and I somehow twisted my body to avoid it.
Grab━
“Gotcha~”
“……!?”
While I briefly looked up to avoid the spear plunging from above, the Succubus grabbed my face with both hands and made me look at her.
Along with her gleaming red eyes.
[The Succubus uses Dream’s Pleasure.]
[Resisting with the related stat ‘ Fighting Spirit ‘……]
Pot━
‘This is crazy!’
The place I was transported to was, as expected, that old room again. Dragged here without even putting up a proper resistance, I frowned at the chains tied around my arms.
Creak━
“Damn it, untie me right now?!”
“Oh my~ Your mouth has become foul?”
Unlike me shouting, the Succubus entering through the opening door was the epitome of leisure. Of course, she would be relaxed in this situation, but from my perspective, being on the receiving end, I just wanted to escape somehow.
“I’ll be in your care this time as well.”
Simultaneously with those words, the Succubus kissed me, and I could confirm my vision darkening along with the disgusting sensation I felt again.
[You have been drained of your energy by the Succubus……]
“……”
Alright, I’ll kill you.
I didn’t even check the message window. Filled with the sole thought of killing the Succubus, I took out a card from the item window.
“Title Change. Soul Contract.”
[Changing title to ‘ Soul Contract ‘. Remaining changes: 2.]
“Summon.”
[Summoning Ust, Craving for Life.]
[Summoned creature’s level increases by 5.]
[Related stats……]
Grooooar!!━
‘I should have done this from the beginning.’
Was I complacent because I had a Unique weapon? In any case, realizing that it was difficult to defeat the Succubus in my current state, I summoned Ust. In the first place, her Agility was higher than mine, and my Health and Magic Power were being reduced by percentage just by making eye contact, so there was nothing I could do.
But it’s different if I summon Ust, the raid boss monster.
“Attack.”
Ust attacks the Succubus according to my command. Originally, the Succubus easily dodged even my attacks, so there was no way she couldn’t dodge Ust’s attacks either.
Kwaang!━
[Summon Hit Damage! 1,510.]
However, the currently summoned Ust has the title and stat buffs. On top of that, its level has increased by 5. As a result, it struck the Succubus with an attack much faster than when I fought the Rose Guild before, and seeing that, I had a feeling that Ust would win.
“Grooooar!”
“Argh! What is this?! This tree?!”
What is it? It’s a raid boss monster.
Crack!━
In addition, summoning over 20 tree roots completely turned the tide.
‘I never thought I’d be fighting like this.’
It was a method I always used when doing C-rank quests, but the circumstances were different now. Back then, I summoned Ust to practice skills as well, but now I summoned it because I judged it would be difficult to win.
Perhaps I should fight the Succubus with my eyes closed.
Since I’m transported to that strange space when our eyes meet, I thought I could avoid it by closing my eyes. The problem is, who would be able to catch a boss monster with their eyes closed?
‘No, if I could use Intuition a second time……’
Couldn’t I fight sufficiently even with my eyes closed? But that thought quickly disappeared. I have no intention of using that Intuition ever again. Since I was even taken to the hospital, I’d rather my character die than use that Intuition again.
Because I couldn’t die myself.
“Is it okay to just stay like this?”
“It’s enough.”
Looking closely, the tree roots had evolved into the Tree of Death, and as soon as the Tree of Death rushed in, Ust summoned tree roots once more. In addition, it pressured the Succubus by emitting poisonous smoke, and Raz was shooting arrows towards the Succubus as if possessed.
No matter how you looked at it, it didn’t seem like the Succubus would win.
And……
“Ah, no! This can’t be happening!”
“Concentrated Fire!”
Kwaang!━
[Boss Monster ‘ Succubus ‘ has been defeated.]
[Acquired 24,500 Combat Experience!]
[Ding!~ You have acquired 2 Gold 50 Silver!]
[Ding!~ Party member Rudin-nim has……]
[Ding!~ Party member……]
“See?! I caught it!”
Raz, infinitely happy with the Succubus who collapsed with a seemingly frustrated expression. After confirming the Succubus’s death by looking at the message window, I unsummoned Ust.
“Rudin, when did you learn this kind of summoning?”
“A while ago.”
Anyway, unlike Raz who was purely happy, Sina, who had been watching from behind, asked in a puzzled tone.
“But Rudin-nim. Where did you go with the Succubus earlier?”
“Ah, right. Where did you go?”
“……”
Why is that question suddenly coming up? I don’t know the reason, but for some reason, I felt like I shouldn’t answer honestly.
“Isn’t it strange? You disappeared with the Succubus and reappeared, and the Succubus even leveled up.”
At Sina’s words, Raz, who had been happy just a moment ago, started looking at me with a strange gaze.
“Tell me honestly. What did you do with the Succubus?”
“Well. What items dropped?”
“Come to think of it, it’s a Succubus. Did you do something lewd?”
Raz, seemingly knowing something about Succubi, asked in that way. On the other hand, Yua, who knew nothing about the game, looked at me with an expression asking if it was true, and Sina, who caused this topic, was watching with an excited face.
“What lewd things. There’s no way that could happen here.”
“It’s still suspicious……”
With Raz looking at me with a suspicious gaze, I sighed and decided to check the acquired items instead of answering.
[Necklace of Seduction] (Magic)
Description: A necklace imbued with the power of the Succubus. Especially imbued with the power of seduction, this necklace protects the wearer’s mind.
Durability: 50/50
*Mental Attack Defense increased by 20p.
*Set Effect (1/5)
━2 Piece Set Effect: Magic Power increased by 300.
━3 Piece Set Effect: All stats increased by 10.
━4 Piece Set Effect: Mental Attack Defense increased by 20p.
━5 Piece Set Effect: B-rank Skill ‘ Aura of Seduction (LV10) ‘ applied.
‘It’s an item I can’t equip.’
The restricted stat was Charm. Naturally, I couldn’t equip this necklace because I didn’t have the Charm stat. And even looking at the stats, it wasn’t a very appealing item.
‘Aura of Seduction applied…… Is this a passive skill?’
Anyway, since I couldn’t use the necklace, I had to dispose of it somehow, and here, I decided to give the necklace to Raz. After all, it was a dungeon that Raz found, and it also meant to support his future endeavors.
“Here you go.”
“Huh? Is it an item dropped from the Succubus?”
“I can’t use it.”
At my answer, Raz accepted the necklace through the trade request, but he didn’t seem very happy. Perhaps Raz also couldn’t equip the item. However, since there’s also the option of selling it, it wouldn’t be completely useless.
“And if you’re going to sell the dungeon, should I ask Aizen?”
This offer could be mutually beneficial. Aizen, who has a lot of money, would buy the dungeon at a higher price. Therefore, Raz would earn money, and Aizen would gain a dungeon, so it could be a good deal for both of them.
“Ah, it’s okay.”
“Huh?”
What does ‘it’s okay’ mean? It was a completely different answer from his initial statement that he would sell the dungeon after defeating the boss. I was puzzled by that, but Raz shook his head and refused, then said something unexpected.
“I’m thinking of selling the dungeon somewhere else.”
