The Paladin in the Abyss

Chapter 202 The Contradictory Succubus

"Although Boss, your moves just now were indeed powerful, the Evilbane Slash still looks cooler," commented the skull from the side, its voice filled with a ghostly tone. "Besides, when cast by a Tanari, it even comes with a powerful deterrent effect."

"So, that was the Evilbane Slash?" Lancelot asked curiously, looking at Elothysia. He had heard about the Holy Warriors' incredible abilities before, and the golden sword aura of the Succubus just now was indeed very impressive, its power comparable to his own Qingyuan Sword Technique enhanced by Innate True Qi.

"Yes, Kas was coming too fast just now, and I was worried that ordinary attacks wouldn't stop it," Elothysia admitted, a bit embarrassed by the praise. "To be honest, I couldn't believe it myself when I first mastered this skill, considering I still possess a demon's body; it greatly encouraged me."

"That's amazing, only by being recognized by the essence of goodness can you wield that kind of power," Cromwell remarked thoughtfully. "But since you still have the body of a Fiend, the Evilbane Slash could probably still harm you..."

Upon hearing these words, Elothysia's expression instantly darkened. Realizing his blunder, the skull quickly tried to make amends:

"Don't get me wrong, ha, I'm not questioning your essence. The Fallen Paladin's Evilbane Slash can affect you as well..."@@@@

The poor Succubus was on the verge of tears as soon as these words were spoken. Lancelot cast a plaintive look at Cromwell and began to console Elothysia:

"Don't listen to the skull's nonsense. Who would use the Evilbane Slash against you?"

From there, things quickly move towards a tragic end. For those Succubi who habitually use lies to start and maintain a relationship, the final outcome is, in fact, predetermined.

Therefore, Elothysia was lucky; she approached that Angel in her true form as a Succubus. She had been ready to be slain on the spot by the object of her affection. Luckily, the Goddess of Luck, Tamora, took a liking to her that day, and her confession was a great success. Her Angel lover was far more mature and wise than the average mortal and provided tremendous support as she struggled against her innate nature.

After hearing Elothysia's story, everyone reacted differently. Alamir was so moved he was all tears, insisting her story proved the great power of love and once again invited Elothysia to join Shuni's church; the Scholar thought he had harvested valuable psychological material on Succubi, which is of utmost interest to all male Demon researchers.

Meanwhile, Lancelot remained silent. His mind was flashing with various thoughts, and he almost lost his footing and fell off the cliff because he was lost in thoughts, having to invoke the Ice Heart Spell just to calm his mind.

But some crazy ideas had taken root in his heart. Maybe he should do as Elothysia did and confess his feelings directly to Tijana? Should he make his thoughts clear to Tijana, instead of hiding behind the armor of politeness and duty, cautiously probing with the long spear of his affection?

Lancelot shook his head, dispelling these naïve thoughts. He had made similar overtures when he had just become a Knight, but he was no longer that impulsive and reckless young man.

How did that saying go? A confession is always the victory chant, not the clarion call to charge. So, he had to continue the tango with the Succubus Lord with patience.

As the group continued to explore, they did come across some special locales.

The first thing that caught everyone's attention was some mysterious runes carved on the cliff face. These runes were very ancient, and their survival to this day was clearly due to the power of some magic.

Kalalin recognized these runes as a very old form of Abyssal Text, which greatly piqued his interest.
