Chapter 9

Despite no one seeing him naked, the protagonist succubus still felt very shy. Fortunately, besides clothes, he had another thing to cover himself with: his wings.

By wrapping his wings around himself, the protagonist succubus felt like an upside-down bat. At least, there wouldn't be any embarrassing exposure. It could cover him up.

After that, he began to search the surroundings, preparing to find some **, pants, and clothes. There were no boutiques in the Abyss, and no one set up stalls here. To be honest, if he wanted a normal piece of clothing, it would be quite difficult.

However, in this world, besides regular clothes, shoes, hats, **, and breast plates, there was another kind of thing. Its name was "equipment."

+1 attack, +1 defense, +20% experience gain, +10% gold gain. Greedy, sharp, excellent, burning, noble, fallen, bloodthirsty, icy, outstanding, and so on. This was also something that matched the protagonist's super awesome... cough, the protagonist's class name. The more prefixes, the more powerful it was.

In the Abyss, this unlucky place, it might be quite difficult to find regular clothes, shoes, and hats. But there would be some of this "equipment."

The protagonist succubus had this idea in mind.

Now, let's talk about what happened half an hour ago.

The reason the protagonist succubus could so easily and leisurely search through the pile of corpses was that the battle had already ended. In the end, Orcus won the victory. The red fatso, twice as fat as a regular Balor, finally smashed the head of his enemy, that魅诱魔 called A-something. Then, amidst the mountain of corpses and blood, he roared loudly:

"Is—there—anyone—else?!!!!"

The wounds all over his body, the blood, and the aura of malice made people shudder. In a place Orcus didn't notice, the protagonist succubus, who was still a succubus at the time, observed the entire process.

Putting aside the layer of fat, Orcus, who had just gone through a bloody battle and won, was very impressive. He was very much in line with the twisted aesthetic of demons. This led the protagonist succubus to make his first impression and decision since coming to this world.

The impression was: A man should be like this.

The decision was: I can take his place.

However, the protagonist succubus quickly realized that becoming such a red, fat, and club-wielding Balor was not actually a good thing. It didn't align with his second value, which was to be cool and fashionable.

In fact, in the Abyss, apart from succubi and their upgraded version, the incubi, who still looked somewhat human, the other demons of various ranks were either fat and strong or thin and strange. They all belonged to the category of things that looked like they were not good.

The protagonist succubus deeply resisted becoming such a thing.

Among all the demon advancements, the only one the protagonist succubus found acceptable was the upgraded version of the succubus, the incubus. They were more powerful, more excellent, and more seductive.

Compared to succubi, who had a good appearance but weak power and usually had to sell themselves to survive, incubi had combat strength that was simply unbelievable. They were truly upper-level demons.

Their average base attributes were very high: 17 strength, 26 agility, 18 constitution, 19 intelligence, 20 perception, and 30 charisma—this was just the basic attributes of an incubus. Some powerful or classed incubi were even stronger.

At the same time, incubi had extremely strong spell-like abilities. They possessed the terrifying power of mimicry. They could cast fifth-level divine spells like a ninth-level cleric—most importantly, they didn't need to worship any gods or devils. They could directly draw power from the Abyss. Every incubus was a favorite of the Abyssal will.

An incubus, even without a class, was a terrifying magic warrior by talent. If the protagonist succubus added his character template, the overpowered Arcane Blade class, he would be a triple-specialized **. Leveling up and killing higher-level enemies would not be a dream.

However, becoming an incubus was very difficult. Succubi, classified as low-level demons, while incubi were high-level demons. Generally, demons advanced from low to high, step by step. But for a succubus to become an incubus, it required a direct leap from a low-level demon to a high-level demon, a three-level jump.

As mentioned before, the Abyss was an extremely dangerous place. Most succubi didn't have the patience to store so much Abyssal power without using it.

So, most succubi chose the regular advancement path. Once they accumulated enough Abyssal power for an upgrade, they would first become weaker mid-level demons and then gradually climb up.

This way, they would never reach the rank of incubus. Only succubi could advance to incubi, and other ranks of demons, even Balors, could not downgrade.

Because becoming an incubus was very difficult, even with the vastness of the Abyss and the large number of succubi, the number of incubi was still very small.

Because of this, and because rarity makes things valuable, all the big shots in the Abyss wanted incubi. All demon lords, as long as they were male, took pride in owning one—or more—incubus female slaves and competed to see who had more—males could also be—no, should be—more valuable. Rarity makes things valuable, and incubi were rare, male incubi even rarer! So male incubi were even more sought after.

Therefore, if nothing unexpected happened in the future, the protagonist succubus would become the hunting target of all male demon lords in the Abyss.

The protagonist succubus didn't know this yet...

Even if he did, he probably wouldn't regret it.

Since ancient times, who among demons has not died? Whether early or late, it's all death—just as long as it's not a death by anal explosion.

The protagonist succubus carefully avoided the blood, strange liquids, and pieces of flesh, and meticulously searched the battlefield.

Most demons were poor. However, among the high-level demons, there were always some things. The protagonist succubus found nothing after searching two low-level demon corpses. But after finding a dimensional bag on a high-level demon, he abandoned all the weak corpses and focused on searching the high-level demons.

This way, after a short while, the protagonist succubus had a bountiful harvest. The five dimensional bags he found were filled with soul prisms, the currency of the Lower Planes. In addition, there were many kinds of gems, most of which were unpolished.

In the Abyss, money wasn't valuable. The gold, silver, and copper coins used in the Material Plane had no value here. They were even less valuable than ordinary steel, as neither demons nor devils needed those things.

In the Lower Planes, only souls had value. As for the gems, they were usually not used as currency but as spell components or materials for making magic items. So they could circulate to a small extent. The Abyss had countless layers, and its territory was much larger than the Material Plane. Its production was also extremely abundant.

Even the devils, who occupied the Nine Hells, could casually offer countless gold and silver to buy human souls, making the intelligence of the Material Plane's rich people plummet. It was even more so for the demons, who occupied a territory many times larger than the devils.

The protagonist succubus only searched a few corpses and found so much. If converted into the currency of the Material Plane, the protagonist succubus would be able to live off it for the rest of his life, even if he broke his legs.

However, this was the Abyss, the Abyss, the Abyss. So the protagonist succubus had to worry about whether he would have the life to spend this money. Fortunately, he understood the principle of not showing off his wealth from his previous life.

"Be a little more careful, pay attention. It should be fine... right?"

The protagonist succubus wasn't very sure. Although he had gained a lot of wealth, he didn't feel happy—because of his lack of power, he couldn't spend it freely, which was one reason. The second reason was that there was nowhere to spend it. The third reason was that he didn't get what he wanted.

Yes, the protagonist succubus did get a lot of "equipment," but he didn't get the clothes, pants, and ** he wanted. The reason was that the demons' combat philosophy was different.

Attack, attack, and attack again. The best defense is attack. Attack, even if you die, you must attack. The only tactic is attack... Demons who followed this tactic usually equipped themselves with many offensive magical items. Fireball wands, missile wands, acid arrow wands, and so on; fireball necklaces, missile necklaces, acid arrow necklaces, and so on; fireball rings, missile rings, acid arrow rings, and so on...

Various enchanted and unenchanted, bronze, brass, copper, iron, steel, mithril, cold iron, shadow steel, and so on.

Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, tridents, staffs, spears, clubs, whips, flails, hammers, claws, katars, meteor hammers, and so on, with points, edges, hooks, blades, chains, and Emei spikes... main hands, off hands, backups, and more. There were many exotic weapons that the protagonist succubus didn't even know the names of.

If the protagonist succubus took all these weapons, he could set up two and a half weapon shops on the main street of Waterdeep in the Material Plane, Faerun. Not to mention, just the flaming sword of the Balor he killed would sell for at least 20,000 gold.

So many chaotic weapons and magical items made the protagonist succubus's eyes dazzle.

In fact, at first, he really did get dazzled—until he suddenly remembered something.

Damn, there were no clothes here!
