It was an unknown date. The main character, a succubus, was dressed in thick, heavy clothing, shivering as she moved forward with her sleeves pulled up.

She was wearing a leather hat, leather boots, leather socks, leather pants, a leather coat, leather gloves, and leather underwear. She was wrapped up like a bear. However, whenever the wind and snow hit, she would still shiver involuntarily.

Among the dozens of people, the main character, the succubus, was the most pitiful. The others, whether demons or tieflings, all looked much more spirited.

Most of them had just added an extra coat and a cloak. Some wore gloves, but not like the thick leather gloves with four fingers together and cotton padding that the main character wore. Instead, they wore thin leather gloves with open fingers, allowing their skin to touch their weapons, connecting with these cold, metal killing tools.

In addition, among these demons and tieflings, there was a squad of about twenty iron horse demons and a team of about seven bull demons who stood out even more. The latter resembled a hellish version of minotaurs. This squad and team, totaling about thirty people, formed a small group. They were said to be a well-known mercenary group from Nalathar.

They deliberately bared their chests, exposing their strong, withered yellow pectoral and abdominal muscles. The wind blew fiercely, and large snowflakes pelted their bodies.

Since entering the Ice Sea region, the main character, the succubus, had been the least friendly towards these demons. She would always look at them with a sidelong glance, not giving them a proper look—what were they showing off? She had eight-pack abs, neatly arranged, and any woman who saw them would faint from excitement and nosebleeds. She just didn't want to show them, that's all. Hmph, scum.

Of course, these bull demons and iron horse demons also looked down on this frail little mage—only able to connect to the 4th-level magic network, what was he? Did he think this was the main plane? Was a 4th-level arcane spell impressive? Showing off a caster's arrogance in the Abyss? Grandmother!

Indeed, this time, the main character, the succubus, joined this escort team without using her real identity, the fierce and cool masked executioner, the cold-blooded killer.

She pretended to be in her human form and used her ability as an Arcane Blade to forge a human mage identity.

Currently, the main character, the succubus, had a casting level of 8, meaning she could cast up to 4th-level arcane spells.

This casting ability was generally sufficient in the main plane, especially in rural areas. However, in the harsh conditions of the Abyss, this level of casting ability was not enough.

Generally speaking, many people come to the Abyss to train, fight, seek opportunities, or seek death. Especially casters, who are particularly fond of this chaotic and vast world.

However, those who dare to enter the Abyss—especially just the upper layers—usually have a casting level of at least 13, capable of accessing the 7th-level magic network. More casters, for safety, typically reach the legendary level before daring to explore the Abyss. A caster with only 4th-level arcane spells, like the main character, was extremely rare—no, it was unheard of.

"In short, a fool like this will die very quickly."

This was the consistent evaluation of the main character, the succubus, by everyone in the entire adventure team.

However, to be fair, although everyone thought the main character, the succubus, was a fool and wouldn't last long, a caster was still a caster. The ability to cast 4th-level arcane spells was not weak, and it was enough to make people take her seriously and be wary.

Therefore, the treatment and commission the main character, the succubus, received were not too bad. The employer of this temporarily assembled escort team, the target of their protection, the middle-aged vampire of the Kallen family, also took her more seriously.

This was also the reason why the main character, the succubus, had conflicts with those who earned their living by sword and spear—those iron horse demons and bull demons.

At the same time, it was also the reason why the main character, the succubus, dressed like a bear.

By convention, there were never many casters with robust constitutions. To disguise herself, she had to do it completely. In this regard, the main character, the succubus, considered herself a perfectionist.

Of course, according to Delmont's speculation, this was no different from her other unexpected actions, merely a whim. She thought, "Ah, this is nice, let's do it this way," and then she did it.

"Besides being highly proactive, he is a useless lunatic." This was Delmont's evaluation of the main character, the succubus.

However, to be fair, in terms of temperature, casters should have had ways to solve the problem. The main character, the succubus, acting this way, to some extent, raised the suspicion of the leader of this group, the middle-aged vampire of the Kallen family, who was also the target of protection.

Just like now, the middle-aged vampire, who looked quite dignified, sitting in a sedan chair carried by four skeletons, found the main character, the succubus, strange.

He thought to himself:

What is this mage trying to do? She could easily cast "Endure Elements" or "Resist Energy" to withstand the cold. Why does she have to freeze like a wimp?

However, the middle-aged vampire soon "oh"ed, thinking he understood.

—This guy is saving spell slots! Even though "Endure Elements" is a cantrip and "Resist Energy" is a 1st-level spell, they still take up spell slots. He is freezing like a wimp to save a spell slot so he can have more power in a fight.

Thinking this, the middle-aged vampire was deeply impressed:

"Very good, the money spent on this mage was not wasted. Look at how dedicated he is."

He had no idea that the main character, the succubus, didn't even know these two spells!

The main character, the succubus, indeed had a casting level of 8. However, she was not formally trained and was a self-taught caster. She lacked systematic arcane education. She didn't know some basic knowledge and didn't understand some basic spells.

The spells she knew were all learned from various magic scrolls. "Endure Elements" and "Resist Energy" were low-level and very common. Most young mages who went on adventures liked to spend spell slots to prepare a few of these.

Because they were frequently used, these two spells were almost impossible to find in scrolls. Therefore, the main character, the succubus, couldn't learn them and had to pretend to be freezing like a wimp.

Indeed, it was all an act. The main character, the succubus, was an 8th-level Arcane Blade with a Constitution of 18 and a Challenge Rating of 18. Punching Iuz and kicking Iggwilv might be beyond her, but walking a few hundred miles in the wind and snow was no problem.

But the issue wasn't there. The issue was that the main character, the succubus, didn't want others to know this. She wanted to hide her strength, play the fool, and show off. So she had to wrap herself up and shiver.

...

This was the fourth day of entering the snowfield. The main character, the succubus, was constantly looking around with the black crystal mirror she had obtained from Delmont.

Looking around, everything was white. The snow was white, the clouds in the sky were grayish-white, and even the breath she exhaled was white. Apart from this ragtag team, there were no other colors in the entire snowfield.

Some inexperienced demons, after walking for a long time, had already shown signs of snow blindness. These scum had no idea what was happening, so they attributed it to some kind of curse, making the atmosphere very tense.

Regarding this, the main character, the succubus, knew, but she felt she had no obligation to inform the other idiotic demons.

"Let them die, the Abyss has nothing but damned demons."

Moreover, the main character, the succubus, also noticed that the middle-aged vampire, who should have been responsible and should have had enough experience and preparation, was equally unaware.

He seemed like a novice who hadn't traveled much, like someone who had rushed out without doing much research. His understanding of the Ice Sea was severely lacking. He was completely at a loss when dealing with the demons who had developed snow blindness, only able to use healing potions to alleviate their pain.

This made the main character, the succubus, even less optimistic about the mission.

"Well, I'll just find an opportunity to kill all these idiots and quickly return to Nalathar. Staying in this place for too long makes me uncomfortable too." The main character, the succubus, thought with sinister intentions.

At this moment, a "thud" suddenly came from the front of the group, followed by a loud shout from a demon. The mercenaries immediately drew their weapons, on guard around them and with each other. The group came to a halt.

"Is something wrong?!"

"What's happening?!"

The demons looked at each other nervously. This scene was very familiar to the main character, the succubus.

In Nalathar, countless skirmishes had occurred, and over 90% were due to such inexplicable disturbances.

The demons, with their poor judgment and love for killing and sex, would always go berserk over such minor incidents.

"Tsk... Should I take advantage of this opportunity to start a fight? A melee would be to my advantage..." The main character, the succubus, couldn't help but think, "But this way, it might get a bit boring... Yes, for now, I'll let this group continue. Watch me perfectly resolve this crisis."

After making the decision, the main character, the succubus, cleared her throat, sprayed some mint water, and shouted loudly, "Look, that fat demon fell into a snow ditch!"
