Chapter 380: Chapter 394: Found It
After the initial battle, Lancelot had maintained a stealthy state, bypassing the Aberrant Demons wandering in the dungeon maze. Defeating these pitiful demons was not a difficult task, but it was a waste of time, and he did not want to startle the snake by hitting the grass.
Aside from the wandering Aberrant Demons, some more powerful beings were imprisoned in the cells. Some were demons, while others were outright monsters. Lancelot saw a large demon with an all-black body and forward-bent spikes on its head like a scorpion’s tail, as well as a humanoid monster with four arms and a purple-red body.
They were locked in cages made of Abyssal Metal, bound with countless chains engraved with Magic Runes, making even moving a finger difficult. Although Lancelot had hidden his figure as much as possible while passing by them, one of the prisoners still noticed his presence.
“Release me, human,” a voice sounded directly at the bottom of Lancelot’s heart, “I will give you everything you desire!”
The voice was still using the common language of humans. Lancelot turned his head and saw the source of the telepathy—a giant demon with dark red skin. Its antlers were very distinctive, stretching outward horizontally on both sides as if wearing an extravagantly styled hat. Its upper body resembled that of a muscular giant, while its lower half consisted of thick bull hooves, currently bound by a spiked iron chain like a beast awaiting slaughter.
The demon’s eyes, which seemed to be burning, were staring directly at Lancelot’s location, completely ignoring the Human Knight’s attempts to conceal himself. Intuition told him that this demon likely possessed the ability of True Sight, a power typical of High Rank Fiends, which was why it could easily detect his presence.
...
Lancelot also noticed that the demon had six fingers on each hand, but they were all nailed to a splint with metal spikes, a device used by the captors to strip the prisoner of their abilities.
Besides, both entrances were sealed by heavy metal dungeon gates, and Lancelot did not see any mechanism that looked like it could open the doors. Suppressing his slightly anxious mood, the Human Knight hid himself in an inconspicuous corner and focused his True Yuan in his ears, trying to pick up some useful information from the guards’ casual conversation.
“Have you heard? There’s supposed to be a Succubus Paladin inside now, I don’t know where Ulgog got such a top-grade creature,” one Succubus said to her companion. “I’ve ridden a thousand succubi, but never a paladin.”
“I have,” another Succubus replied with a wicked smile. “Thirty years ago, a foolish wizard apprentice stole his master’s notes, firmly believing that a spell recorded there would make him the greatest wizard. That fool was immediately killed by me, and I had a great time in the Prime Material Plane afterward. The best part was successfully capturing an elf who had just become a paladin a few days earlier.”
“Wow, you must have had a lot of fun with that, huh?”
“Yeah, although I later realized he was actually a male elf, but what does it matter? All elves are beautiful.” The first Succubus laughed, “A paladin’s faith is very strong, so it’s especially wonderful to destroy it. Although his righteous companions eventually took back their bodies, his soul had changed forever. Maybe in a few decades, he will summon me himself, hahahaha...”
“Sigh, I don’t know what Ulgog did to gain so much trust from the Mother of Demons,” the third Succubus spoke up, her tone clearly disgruntled. “Has this damned door ever opened even once? He built such a large interrogation room, enjoys all the pleasures inside alone, and orders us to guard outside. Don’t even think about getting a chance to touch that Succubus Paladin, I bet she either becomes Ulgog’s forbidden fruit, looking down on us whenever she sees us; or she ends up like the other captives, cut into hundreds of pieces, flushed out through that filthy sewer...”
