Although the main succubus cast a lightning spell, turning the old gentleman into black charcoal, she still let him escape. The main succubus looked up at the sky from the ground, watching the half-charcoal fly away while shouting, "I will be back!" She couldn't help but whistle.

This scene was just too beautiful.

The main succubus made a gun shape with her hands, then formed a picture frame, aiming at the old charcoal and said:

"Click."

If there was really a camera, it would have been great.

After that, the main succubus hurriedly left the spot—joking, with such a large guild and millions of demons, it was just that they hadn't mobilized yet. If they really did, they could kill you in a minute. With no demons around now, why not run quickly?

As she thought this, the main succubus recalled the previous battle—her opponent, the old gentleman, had used up to a sixth-level arcane spell. But from his熟练的施法 and strong combat ability, it was clear he was not far from touching the seventh layer of the magic net.

Thinking of this, the main succubus felt very pleased—being able to touch the sixth layer of the magic net meant he had already condensed his true name and could be considered a high-level mage.

From his attire and manner of speaking and acting, it was clear he was a high-ranking figure in the Demon Hand Guild, as he claimed to be a senior advisor to Xide.

To think that such a powerful person fought against her, and she ended up winning. Did this mean that her strength in the Abyss was already enough to walk around confidently?

The main succubus deliberately ignored the several magic scrolls she had torn up and the two wands she had drained. She was quite pleased with herself.

However, even without those external items, the main succubus's own abilities were not bad at all.

The current main succubus was already a fourth-level Arcane Blade. In the previous battle, she fought the old pervert for a while and realized she couldn't win. She immediately had a bad idea.

Previously, when killing demons on the street, the main succubus accumulated a lot of experience points and leveled up twice. She received two feats and one bonus feat. The main succubus chose Sword Focus and Sword Specialization for her two feats.

These two feats significantly enhanced her understanding and mastery of sword weapons, including long swords, short swords, great swords, greatswords, flame-shaped swords, hand-and-a-half swords, and more specialized straight-bladed military sabers, slightly curved swords, and Persian curved swords.

For the bonus feat, the main succubus chose Mighty Blow.

So-called "Mighty Blow" is, in simple terms, "critical hit." After choosing Mighty Blow, the main succubus's critical hits could double and double again. A normal person's critical hit deals double damage, while the main succubus deals quadruple damage. A normal person's quadruple damage, the main succubus deals eight times the damage. A normal person's eight times, the main succubus deals sixteen times, and so on.

Thus, after leveling up, gaining skill points, increasing her base attack bonus, and choosing feats, the main succubus was able to dive down and kill the large earth elemental in two moves.

Seeing the main succubus suddenly become so strong, the old gentleman decided to retreat—he still had at least half of his spell slots unused and a few decent magic items on him. If he really wanted to fight to the death with the main succubus, the battle would still be ongoing.

But why should he fight to the death with the main succubus, who had no grudge against him?

Yes, demons in the Abyss are very warlike and become ruthless once they start fighting. But the main succubus clearly felt that the old gentleman's Abyssal aura was not strong. So he was probably not a demon. Perhaps he was a tiefling—half-demon—or even a human.

According to alignment, this guy should be neutral evil with a lawful tendency, so he wouldn't make such a pointless sacrifice.

"In any case, I gained something." As before, the main succubus didn't analyze too much. As long as she won, everything else didn't matter.

After that, the main succubus leveled up again—yes, after winning this battle, her experience points were enough to level up again—although the old gentleman wasn't killed. But defeating him still provided a large amount of valuable experience points.

Here, we need to explain the experience points required for leveling up and the experience points gained from defeating opponents.

The basic multiplier for experience points required to level up is one thousand. The specific number is the experience points required for the previous level plus the current level number multiplied by one thousand.

For example:

- Level 1 to Level 2 requires 1000 experience points;

- Level 2 to Level 3 requires 1000 + 2 × 1000, which is 3000 experience points;

- Level 3 to Level 4 requires 3000 + 3 × 1000, which is 6000 experience points;

- Level 4 to Level 5 requires 6000 + 4 × 1000, which is 10000 experience points...

And so on.

So, how did the main succubus get the 10,000 experience points needed to level up to Level 5?

This involves the concept of the opponent's level.

Killing powerful monsters gives more experience points, while killing weak monsters gives fewer. Killing monsters above your level gives experience point bonuses, while killing monsters below your level gives fewer experience points. This is the basic rule for gaining experience points from killing monsters.

How is this rule calculated?

The base experience points gained are the opponent's level multiplied by 100. If the opponent's level is one level higher than the main succubus, the base experience points increase by 50%. If it's two levels higher, the base experience points increase by 100%. If it's three levels higher, the base experience points increase by 150%, and if it's four levels higher, the base experience points increase by 200%, and so on. If the opponent's level is one level lower, the base experience points decrease by 50%, and if it's two levels lower, the base experience points decrease by 50% on top of the previous 50% reduction...

So, one level lower gives half the experience, two levels lower gives a quarter, three levels lower gives an eighth, four levels lower gives a sixteenth...

When calculating the main succubus's level, only her class level is considered, which is the Arcane Blade level, not her biological level—her succubus biological level is 7, equivalent to a 7th-level class, but this level is not counted.

Although her biological level is not counted, the main succubus indeed has the combat power equivalent to a 7th-level class. This is why a 2nd-level Arcane Blade could fight a 12th-level high-level mage for a while and scare him off by leveling up to 4th level.

So, when the main succubus leveled up to 4th level, she defeated a 12th-level mage. The base experience points provided by a 12th-level mage are 1200, but because the main succubus defeated him 8 levels above her, she gained 400% extra experience points, which is 4800 points, totaling 6000 points... However, because she didn't kill him, 3000 points were deducted, leaving her with 3000 experience points.

When the main succubus discovered the setting that "just defeating an enemy, not killing them, can also gain experience points," she suddenly realized she could play this way—find a super strong person as a friend, then act out a PK with him, have him pretend to die, and she could push him and he would "Ah, I'm dead." fall down. Repeating this action over and over, she could continuously gain experience points.

"Little master is indeed a genius! Now there's only one problem—where can little master find such a strong and shameless bitch?" Thinking of this, the main succubus fell into deep thought.
