Chapter 1022: Chapter 36: Since We’re Here_3 The second plan is to meet directly with the Succubus Queen Meikanshute. This plan carries significant risks because the Succubus Queen is quite uncontrollable. An old Demon Lord, she has ruled the Succubus race for nearly two thousand years, with formidable power and cunning tricks. Duncan is not confident he can control her, so he must proceed with great caution in any collaboration.
However, in order to rescue the Wealth Goddess Waukeen, Duncan can only collaborate with the Demon Lords. Targets other than the Succubus Queen are either too insane or too afraid to confront the Dark Monarch.
The Red Shroud currently is acting as a broker, exchanging her status for limited immediate benefits.
She faltered.
Their private conversation only lasted a short while, but just as Duncan was leaving, a trace of regret flashed across the face of the Red Shroud, as if she was truly unsure about this man’s power.
What if he really does have the strength?
In the Bottomless Abyss, it is challenging to rise to power without support. Above her, there are too many big figures, including her own mother suppressing her. Without external forces to break the stalemate, she would be trapped in the Broken Domain for centuries.
Ultimately, the Red Shroud sighed lightly.
Play it safe.
If this man truly is powerful, then she would add more stakes.
However, she doesn’t know that by the time she adds her stakes, they won’t be as valuable, because once Duncan chose the Succubus Queen Meikanshute as his target, the risks he himself faced made the stakes of the Red Shroud unappealing.
In the hall.
The Red Shroud pondered for a moment, then beckoned. Soon, from a nearby bedchamber, emerged a pair of enchanting, seductive Enchanting Mages. They appeared almost identical, having been transformed from the souls of a rare pair of twin mages.
They are the spoils of the Red Shroud, originating from the Morel family of the Material Plane. When the Succubus Queen corrupted this fallen mage family, she couldn’t resist pocketing a pair of talented twins.
In order to maintain pure bloodlines and continue the mage’s talents, mage families on the Material Plane often practiced close-relative breeding. The Succubus Queen loved to corrupt such fallen families.
This Succubus Twin was the product of a brother-sister combination, who died in their fall and were transformed into demons by the Red Shroud.
"Go."
"Entertain our guest well."
The gaze of the Red Shroud flickered with meaning as she said, "By the way, test this man’s strength for me."
The seductive eyes of the Succubus Twin bowed respectfully, saying: "Yes."
"Madam."
Inside the Skeleton Inn.
Duncan returned to his residence, looking at his mage advisor beside him, he said sternly, "You stay here and wait for me."
"I need to make a trip to the lower levels of the Bottomless Abyss."
Upon hearing Duncan’s words, Shadow Eater - Victor’s expression changed, and he couldn’t help but say, "Where does the Lord want to go?"
He was genuinely worried about Duncan’s safety. If something happens and it is believed to be his fault, several churches would hunt him together.
Duncan calmly said, "The 570th layer of the Bottomless Abyss, Shadella."
The lair of the Succubus Queen!
Shadow Eater - Victor gasped, and after hesitating for a moment, could only say softly, "Please be careful, my lord."
He wasn’t that crazy.
At least outside of research, Shadow Eater - Victor was relatively normal.
His madness was limited to an obsession with the mysteries of magic.
Inside the room, just as Duncan was about to gather his thoughts, a voice came from outside the door. It was Kroglas - the Soul Eater, speaking cautiously: "My lord."
"The Red Shroud has sent a pair of Succubus attendants to serve you."
This is the Broken Domain.
In the base of the Succubus Queen on the Ten Thousand Abyss Plain, there is no shortage of enchantingly beautiful demons.
Duncan hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Bring them in."
Since they came to me, let’s have a look.
In the dim light, a pair of nearly identical enchanting Enchanting Mages appeared.
They resembled two thorny roses blooming from the Abyss of Desire, stunningly beautiful and secretly dangerous, with cascading violet-black hair glistening with an eerie glow. Every strand seemed to whisper endless temptation.
Their deeply enticed and alluring eyes shone like purple stars in the deep night sky. As their gazes flowed, a soul-captivating magic seemed to emerge, luring one deeper unconsciously, making it hard to escape.
The faces of this Succubus Twin were as exquisite as artworks carved by divine spirits. Their fair complexion bordered on translucent, flushed with a subtle blush, as if kindled by the flames of desire. Underneath their small, straight noses were lips as rubicund as cherry blossoms, slightly pursed as if inviting one to taste that sweet yet dangerous forbidden kiss.
This kiss alone was enough to absorb and sap a mortal’s essence completely.
But alas, Duncan, having been bathed in Dragon Blood, had both willpower and physique as sturdy as steel, making the Succubi’s Kiss unlikely to drain his constitution successfully.
"Milord."
The Succubus Twin slowly stepped into the room. Their alluring figures could make one’s blood race, their slender waists seemingly breakable, yet possessing incredible flexibility as if they could twist into dazzling dances at any moment. Their ample breasts and firm buttocks outlined perfect curves that, with each step, carried a lethal temptation. Their seductive catwalk seemed to dance upon one’s heart, making it race uncontrollably, impossible to resist.
The only flaw was their demonic hooves, but they seemed to possess a unique allure. Their delicate demonic wings quivered slightly, with two long, spiked demonic tails coiling around each other, resembling conjoined twins.
What does the Red Shroud mean by this? Do I look like such a person?
But since they’ve arrived, let them stay.
A night passed without words.
The tricks of the Succubi are indeed numerous.
The next day, Duncan left alone to meet the Red Shroud. Within the Broken Domain was a portal leading to the lower levels of the Bottomless Abyss.
He wasn’t that afraid either.
After all, Duncan came here with the backing of many goddesses from the Bright Water Realm. Should Duncan be truly cornered, he could immediately activate the state of triple-goddess-choice. Backing him would be a powerful goddess of love like Shunni, and as long as she was willing to lend her divine power, Duncan could cause an upheaval.
The weakest mighty divine power is still mighty divine power.
With divine power granted to Duncan, the destructive force would indeed be formidable.
