Chapter 70

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh?" The main character, Succubus, became excited, her eyes smiling as she looked at the unexpected bidder. "You really know your stuff, sir. A thousand gold coins to have me switch sides? That's not entirely unacceptable—"

As she said this, she mercilessly slashed and stabbed, killing the Berserker Demons that were at a suitable distance from her.

"What a joke—" the mercenary captain shouted. "Are you going to betray the guild, you bastard?!"

"Talking about betrayal, you were the ones who betrayed first, weren't you?"

The main character, Succubus, said this while drawing out a throwing knife and tossing it into the sky, shooting down the Flayer Demon that was circling above, preparing to dive and attack.

"That was an accident, an accident! It wasn't a betrayal, just that guy's personal action!"

"Decided. Increase the hire fee to 1,500 gold coins. How about that, Silver Executioner?"

"Am I that famous?"

"Quite famous. The guy who defeated the young master vampire in the gladiatorial tournament. 1,500 gold coins is nothing compared to your value." The other party said boldly.

"Speaking of which—" The main character, Succubus, enhanced herself with an energy weapon and casually cut off a head. "Can you afford a higher price?"

"Ah... yeah." The other party was slightly surprised. "Then add another 500!"

"Not enough!"

"Add another 500!"

"Not enough!"

"5,000! 5,000 gold coins, is that enough?!" The guild commander almost shouted hysterically.

"Ten times that." The main character, Succubus, smiled and threw a fireball at a group of people. "Give me 50,000 gold coins, and I'll switch sides—"

"—Don't joke around, are you messing with me?! Do you know how much 50,000 gold coins is?!"

The guild commander, enraged, shouted, "Rather than this, it's better to just kill you! Quick! Attack, concentrate your forces and destroy him!"

With the demon commander's shout, a large number of warriors from the Demon's Hand Guild rushed forward. Demons, Tieflings, Dark Elves, Humans, Mind Flayers, Orcs, Minotaurs, a chaotic mix of all kinds, with swords, spears, halberds, and axes...

"The negotiations have broken down... Captain, actually, I was just bluffing before, can—"

"—No! All demons in the mercenary group, listen up! From now on, the Silver Executioner is the enemy!!"

"Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh?"

In an instant, the main character, Succubus, found herself surrounded by enemies on both sides. Seeing the warriors from all directions, she burst out:

"Ah, ah, ah, ah! Forget it! If it's like this, I'll kill you all—Abyssal Power!!!"

The main character, Succubus, activated Abyssal Power again. Roaring, she moved at an astonishing speed, slicing and dicing through the enemy ranks like cutting through melons and vegetables.

Heads, limbs, severed arms, and legs. Blocking, dodging, slashing, and stabbing. The main character, Succubus, was like a whirlwind of blades, sweeping through the enemy ranks, leaving a trail of corpses wherever she went. In no time, she was in front of the guild commander.

"Damn it! Don't look at me like that, I'm at least a swordsman!" The fat commander, who looked like he had gotten his position through backdoor bribery, shouted and drew his sword—surprisingly, he managed to temporarily block the main character, Succubus.

One sword, two swords, three swords.

After three exchanges with the main character, Succubus, the guild commander felt his hands go numb. After all, with Abyssal Power, the main character, Succubus, had a strength attribute of 20, which was very high.

"Don't fight him! Stay back and use magic attacks!"

The commander shouted.

After that, the mages, sorcerers, and other spellcasters or warriors with spell-like abilities either tore scrolls or chanted incantations, launching a barrage of spells at the main character, Succubus—

"Fireball"

"Magic Missile"

"Acid Arrow"

"Ice Arrow"

"Flame Arrow"

"Acid Ball"

"Lightning Beam"

"Sound Spear"

"Force Blade"

A chaotic mix of colorful and varied magical attacks drowned out the guild commander's resentful cry, "Wait until I leave before attacking, damn it!" At the same time, the main character, Succubus, flew into the air, completely avoiding the attacks.

With Abyssal Power, the main character, Succubus, had an agility of 20, which was very high.

In short, the guild's demon commander was killed by friendly fire. The deputy commander, suppressing his inner joy, took over. Meanwhile, the main character, Succubus, in the air, sheathed her sword, removed her claw gauntlets, and grabbed a handful of throwing knives. With quick throwing, multiple throws, and infinite retrieval, the mithril throwing knives rained down from the sky, effectively clearing the lesser enemies.

"Die, die, die—!" The main character, Succubus, shouted, enjoying the rapidly increasing experience points.

In addition to the throwing knives, the main character, Succubus, casually threw down a few fireballs and then drew two wands, firing them wildly.

Like most young people, the main character, Succubus, also had the ideal of firing an automatic rifle with infinite ammunition aimlessly.

"Concentrate fire!!!"

On the ground, after the main character, Succubus's indiscriminate area-of-effect attacks, the survivors also began to attack him indiscriminately. Arrows, crossbow bolts, javelins, throwing axes, and various spells—whether enemies or mercenaries who should be considered allies—were all desperately attacking the main character, Succubus, in the air.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. On the wilderness path, explosions echoed continuously. Both sides, without prior agreement, temporarily ceased hostilities and concentrated their fire on the main character, Succubus. At the same time, a group of Flayer Demons specialized in aerial combat flapped their wings and rose into the air, surrounding the main character, Succubus.

"Hmph, finally couldn't resist betraying, huh? Demons, in the end, are just a bunch of fickle, unreliable creatures. To expect you to really treat me as a companion, I was too naive."

In the air, the main character, Succubus, sneered, closed her eyes, and shook her head, as if to say, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Don't blame me for being ruthless, scum. Look at me, this is the real main character."

While saying this, the main character, Succubus, completely ignored the former allies on the ground, who were stomping their feet and shouting hoarsely:

"It was you who made the first move!!!"

"Evil people always come up with a bunch of excuses— but they're all garbage. Meaningless, meaningless, I won't hold back— watch this!"

At this moment, the captain of the escort team suddenly remembered what Delmont had told him before they left. He then shouted at the main character, Succubus: "Stop it, you won't get your commission if you do this, idiot!"

Hearing this, the main character, Succubus, finally showed a reaction... but it was the opposite effect:

"Ah, ah, ah, ah! Sure enough, you don't want to pay! Sure enough, you're going to welsh on the deal! Damn merchants! I knew you guys were unreliable! Whatever! If I kill them, so be it. They're all demons anyway, so it's not like killing any of them would be considered harming the innocent. They all deserve to die!!"

The main character, Succubus, went berserk: "Flame Funeral—Flame Funeral—then Flame Funeral again!!!"

While dodging attacks from the ground, she quickly chanted incantations, casting three consecutive level 5 evocation spells, Flame Funeral.

A single-target attack with splash damage, very powerful and effective. It would instantly turn a target into a pillar of fire. The shocked and intensely painful target would run around madly, spreading the magical flames to others as they moved.

Generally, the damage to those infected would not be too great. However, the main character, Succubus, slightly modified the spell. Using a ruby, a carnelian, and an onyx as auxiliary components to enhance the spell, those infected would also become fully engulfed in flames, suffering the full effect of the spell.

Of course, this enhancement came at a cost, reducing the spell's duration by half. For a single target, it would be a loss. However, for a large group, it was a different story.

The terrifying, sticky flames created by the spell would spread like a highly contagious disease among the crowd, and repeatedly so—after all, humans or demons wouldn't develop immunity to magic like they would to a disease.

Thus, with just three level 5 spells, the main character, Succubus, completely disrupted the large group of demon mercenaries on the ground. The burning, madly running torches spread the flames everywhere. Even after the spell's effects wore off, they would be immediately reignited by the newly infected torches.

This cycle repeated over and over again... The demons, who didn't know the meaning of discipline, fell into complete chaos. Charred bodies thudded to the ground one after another...

"Ah, ah. So, demons are truly pitiful, with no sense of collective consciousness." After a deep breath, the main character, Succubus, regained her composure and continued to speak sarcastically.

"Damn it, acting all high and mighty—don't forget, you're a demon too! And an especially self-centered one—whatever! If it's like this, Flayer Demon troops, attack, kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him!!!"

The second-in-command of the Demon's Hand Guild shouted.

"We'll join in too! Forget the mission, take out that little punk!!" The captain of the escort team also shouted.

"Yes, sir!"

"No problem!"

Thus, in response to the main character, Succubus's rampant provocation, the cooperation between the escorts and the raiders instantly merged. Dozens of Flayer Demons, resembling giant humanoid birds, all turned their weapons and charged at the main character, Succubus, waving their long spears and halberds.
