Chapter 33

"Damn it, damn it. I was too careless... No, that's not right. The perfect me can't make such a low-level mistake. This problem must be due to—yes, it's malice. I can feel the malice from the world. Indeed, because I'm too strong, so strong that I'm beyond the norm, the will of the universe in Toril is starting to reject me? Is AO that guy just hoping for my death? Yes, if I die, no one will be able to threaten his position anymore!"

The main character, the succubus, panted heavily as she rambled on—then jumped backward to dodge the tail claw attack from the bone devil in front of her. Beside the bone devil, several hook devils and chain devils were approaching her with ill intent, gradually tightening the encirclement. Meanwhile, an assassin devil was lurking outside, looking for gaps in the succubus's defenses.

If she were at full strength, she could easily sweep these scum and trash into the trash can. But not now.

The main character, the succubus, was very weak. Very, very weak—anyone who had been attacked by all kinds of monsters for fifty-three minutes without a break would be as weak as she was.

Indeed, on the sixth day, when the main character, the succubus, appeared, the audience automatically burst into cheers.

But before the succubus could feel good about herself, she noticed something was wrong—the various monsters, devils, demons, and evil-aligned warriors, soldiers, and scum that were supposed to be fighting each other had immediately joined forces and launched an attack on her alone.

"This is a death wish—" The succubus had just this thought when she was plunged into the ocean of the demonic war. She dodged and weaved, fighting and running, and many heroes met their end under her sword, claws, and throwing knives. She managed to hold on until now, but it seemed she couldn't hold on much longer.

This group of devils was clearly a small unit, with strict organization and excellent coordination. They were all elite-level, making them particularly difficult to deal with. The succubus was injured and lacked stamina. After a few exchanges, she had the feeling again: "Damn, I'm going to die."

"But there are only seven minutes left." The succubus glanced at the hourglass beside the arena and thought, "If I can just hold on a little longer—" She immediately tilted her head back, turned sideways, and charged forward—just as a chain devil's chain whipped toward her head. The succubus's reaction was a bit slow, and her body couldn't keep up. Although she dodged the vital areas, her left shoulder was hit, causing considerable pain.

As she leaned forward, trying to take advantage of the opening to strike the chain devil, the hook devils on either side, wielding long-handled saw-toothed axes, took advantage of their weapon's range to attack the succubus first, relieving the chain devil's crisis. The succubus had to retreat again and reorganize.

"Damn, damn, each one is a weakling, but when they work together, they're so hard to deal with..." The succubus complained in her mind while thinking of tactics.

In terms of attack range, her longsword was at a disadvantage. Whether it was the chain devil's chain, the bone devil's tail claw, or the hook devil's long-handled axe, their attack range was greater than hers. If it were a few opponents, she wouldn't worry because she could use her speed and skill to force her way into her attack range. In this case, the length of their long weapons would become a hindrance.

But there were seven or eight of them, and they worked together very well. Whenever she attacked one, the others would attack her. This made the situation worse.

If she were at full strength, she wouldn't worry. Her speed, strength, and skill would give her a crushing advantage. But now, with her injuries and the loss of stamina, she couldn't overwhelm them.

"Retreat! Yes, I must retreat, temporarily retreat, break out of this encirclement, and use guerrilla tactics to fight them. This is the best strategy—but I can't even do that, damn it, damn it!"

The reason she was trapped and couldn't escape was the assassin devil outside the encirclement—this guy was an excellent guerrilla fighter, wanderer, assassin, and thief.

Whenever the succubus found a gap in the encirclement and tried to break through, the assassin devil would rush over in the shortest time and drive her back.

This way, the bone devil led the attack, the chain devils and hook devils formed the encirclement, and the assassin devil filled the gaps. This small team seemed specifically designed to encircle and attack a single elite warrior. And currently, they were doing a very good job, almost forcing the succubus to a dead end.

When the succubus tried to retreat again, she found a wall behind her. She had been cornered and had no way to retreat.

The audience's cheers grew louder and louder. The audience liked to see experts slaughter rookies, and they also liked to see the experts who slaughtered rookies being slaughtered themselves. They even liked the latter more.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, all of them are damn it!!" The succubus was so angry that she couldn't help but shout—

"Then there's only one tactic left." She thought as she put away her longsword. At the same time, she waved her left hand, and the adamantine claw on it disappeared: "I had already accumulated enough experience points for an upgrade. But I hadn't decided what to specialize in... But now, it seems I should make a decision."

Seeing the succubus's unusual behavior, the devils were puzzled and wary. They knew that a character like the succubus would always have a few trump cards as a last-ditch effort. Now it seemed she was about to—

While they were thinking this, the succubus already had six throwing knives in her hands. Under the surprised gaze of the devils, she flicked her wrists, and each flick sent a knife flying.

Before they could react, the six throwing knives in her hands had all disappeared—then appeared on two hook devils.

The next moment, intense pain hit them. They finally realized they had been attacked.

The two devils hit the ground, screaming and rolling. The encirclement instantly had a gap!

The highest-ranking bone devil made a quick decision—forward, attack. Tighten the encirclement to fill the gap, and don't let the effort go to waste!

"Attack!"

With a loud shout, the bone devil led the charge toward the succubus. The remaining devils followed closely.

Four chain devils whipped their chains at the succubus's limbs. Two hook devils swung their long-handled axes at her waist and abdomen. The bone devil's tail claw aimed straight for her head.

The seven devils worked together seamlessly, leaving almost no blind spots. The succubus had nowhere to retreat. The audience burst into cheers again. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the moment the succubus would be torn apart, and her ragged, torn body would collapse on the ground.

"I won't die that easily!" The succubus roared—but when she shouted, it came out as a short "Ah!" At the same time, the six throwing knives in her hands took out two more hook devils. As these devils screamed and fell, the succubus's limbs were also entangled by the chain devils' chains.

The chains wrapped around her wrists and ankles, securing her firmly. The four chain devils, having succeeded, retreated diagonally backward, pulling the succubus's limbs and dragging her forward. In front of her was the bone devil's tail claw, capable of piercing through metal and stone—

She was doomed! There was no way to survive! With her limbs bound, she couldn't counterattack—

The next moment, all the spectators who thought this way were speechless. The tail claw, the same method, but at least twice as fast—the succubus's adamantine tail claw pierced through the bone devil's exoskeleton-like head armor, ending its life.

After a brief silence, the audience erupted into deafening cheers. But this time, the succubus didn't feel happy about the cheers. Her crisis was not over.

"Incredible!"

At this moment, the pale-faced vampire suddenly slapped the armrest of his chair and stood up.

"Yes, but the demon's crisis is not over—Young Master, what are you doing?!" As he was answering, he saw the pale-faced vampire leap from the VIP seats into the arena!
