c701: “Will You Take Responsibility?” (3)

No, with the Demon King gone and the Supreme God in seclusion, he would be the strongest.

Then, his mission would be truly complete.

“With such a bright future, why should I fear a mere Succubus?” Shien comforted himself.

He suppressed the Holy Sword’s holy aura, activated the concealment of [Inner Awareness of Heaven’s Decree], and transformed into a silent, ghostly shadow, flying out the window.

A while later, the shadow approached Shafney’s room.

Shien’s caution was justified.

As the ruler of the Succubus Territory and the master of Succubus City, the most powerful being in this fortress, Shafney’s room was heavily guarded at night. Although no one was allowed on the top floor normally, it was still the Succubus’s residence, with various security measures.

Magical barriers, traps, and alarms were activated at night, making the top floor impenetrable. Anyone trespassing would face severe consequences.

Moreover, although unauthorized personnel weren’t allowed here, many magical beings, like golems, gargoyles, magic soldiers, and animated knight armors, patrolled the area.

With these defenses, even if someone infiltrated the fortress and reached the top floor, they couldn’t approach Shafney’s room. If they tried to force their way in, Shafney would be alerted long before they reached her.

Fortunately, Shien wasn’t ordinary. With the perception of [Outer Awareness of Heaven’s Decree], he could easily detect any traps and defenses, and with the teleportation of [Outer Vision of Heaven’s Decree], he could bypass the barriers and magical beings, silently entering Shafney’s room.

The Holy Sword’s skill enhancement effect was truly powerful. Except for [Samsara of Heaven’s Decree], which had no level, all his other Heaven’s Decree skills were greatly enhanced, allowing him to reach Shafney’s room with ease.

“Whoosh—!” Like a feather, Shien floated in through the window.

The scene was eerily similar to how Shafney snuck into his room a few days ago.

Then, he saw Shafney.

“Mmm…”

The Succubus, hailed as the most beautiful woman in the three realms, lay on her side in bed, sleeping soundly. She wore a thin, slightly transparent nightgown, her sleeping posture alluring, without any blankets, her perfect curves and voluptuous figure on full display, her long, fair legs intertwined.

Shien’s heart raced. If he took a picture of this scene, many in Succubus City would pay a fortune for it. Even Shien, who thought he’d developed a resistance to her charm, felt his mouth go dry, realizing something.

“So I wasn’t immune, but simply too exhausted to react before?”

In that state of soreness and weakness, no matter how beautiful the woman, he couldn’t be aroused.

Now, having recovered somewhat, he was naturally affected by her allure.

“You’re a true demoness. I want to smack you with my staff,” Shien thought fiercely.

He quietly approached the bed, looking at the sleeping beauty, and couldn’t help but reach out.

Don’t misunderstand, he wasn’t planning to do anything indecent. He had already decided what to do after sneaking into her room.

“[Bestowal: Dream Talk].”

He used a rare and unorthodox type of magic. This was a special property of Bestowal Magic, a basic level effect, yet it could make someone in their sleep reveal their dreams or unconsciously answer questions, giving their most direct thoughts.

This magic was usually useless.

Shien only thought of it after a day of pondering.

“Fortunately, I learned all the properties of Bestowal Magic. Otherwise, I’d be helpless now.”

However, at this moment, Shafney began to mumble in her sleep.

“Don’t… don’t come closer…”

“I can’t take it anymore…”

“Stop…”

“Mmm…”

These suggestive murmurs reached Shien’s ears.

“???” Shien was dumbfounded.
