Chapter 706: I'm Slaying a Succubus Named Shadow!
Chapter 706: I'm Slaying a Succubus Named Shadow!
Looking at the figure before her, identical to Alpha but dressed in a more seductive navel-baring outfit, Beatrice frowned slightly and said, "Succubus? I think you've misunderstood something!
I am Shadow, a Shadow Power Holder who lurks in the darkness, not some lowly succubus."
Usually, Shadow wouldn't bother explaining, as he believed that others' misunderstandings were merely prejudices against his eccentric and otaku nature.
You could call him crazy or a demon, but you couldn't accuse him of being a lecher.
While 'Succubus' was a typical villainous role, this particular setting significantly lowered the prestige of his 'Shadow Power Holder' persona.
Observing Shadow's demeanor and the power he had just displayed, Beatrice also felt that he seemed somewhat different from her initial impression.
Previously, she had assumed that a succubus who had 'imprisoned' hundreds of young girls would be more lecherous.
"Are you Shadow? Are you the leader of the Shadow Courtyard? Are there only young women in the Shadow Courtyard?"
Shadow was momentarily stunned by Beatrice's rapid-fire questions, but then he calmly nodded.
There was no need to mention his name; he had introduced himself upon his entrance, and he was indeed the leader of the Shadow Courtyard.
As for the composition of the Shadow Courtyard, it was indeed predominantly young women.
In general, members of the Shadow Courtyard were Demon Possessed, and naturally, only females could possess such abilities.
Seeing Shadow's nod and sensing the dense elven aura emanating from him, Beatrice's body trembled with anger.
The next moment, she tightened her grip on her long sword and slashed it towards Shadow.
"In that case, there's no mistake!"
"Ding—!"
In response to Beatrice's sword slash, Shadow condensed a black longsword from the liquid slime in his hand.
The instant their blades clashed, a powerful gust of air erupted between them.
Feeling the force transmitted through the sword and the mana emanating from Beatrice, Shadow's mouth, hidden beneath his cloak, curled up slightly.
When Beatrice had first appeared, he hadn't paid her much attention.
But now, as Beatrice demonstrated her strength, Shadow's interest was piqued.
With such power, she could barely satisfy his need to show off.
"Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom!"
Both Shadow and Beatrice possessed astonishing strength and incredible speed.
With each clash of their blades, a massive circular shockwave erupted between them, forming a colossal storm in the air.
When the shockwaves collided on the ground, the impact shattered the earth, leaving behind craters of various sizes.
The ordinary members of the Shadow Courtyard slowly retreated from the center of the battlefield, as even the aftermath of such a battle was beyond their endurance.
As the members of the Shadow Courtyard witnessed the person fighting their leader, they were all left in a state of shock.
The person battling Shadow was none other than their big sister, Alpha!
The members of the Shadow Courtyard were confused and filled with panic. They couldn't comprehend why Alpha would engage in combat with Shadow.
If Shadow Night Lord and Shadow Lord were to fight each other, they would completely understand each other, and it would even be a common occurrence.
But Alpha Lord greatly respected and admired the two of them, and it was absolutely impossible for her to fight against them!
"The Seven Shadows" were idols to the members of Shadow Courtyard, and Alpha Lord, who stood at the top of the Seven Shadows, was their spiritual leader. The idea of Alpha Lord betraying them was something they dared not even contemplate.
"Calm down, that person is not Alpha. I don't know why she looks exactly like Alpha, but her aura and fighting style are completely different.
This is most likely another trick by the Cult. Those damn bastards are resorting to such underhanded tactics!"
Zeta, a leopard-like beast girl with golden hair, gritted her teeth as she watched Beatrice fighting in the air against Shadow Lord.
As the sixth seat of the Seven Shadows, Zeta was in charge of covert operations, usually acting alone and traveling all over the world to gather intelligence.
This time, she had come with important information to report, but she had not expected to encounter such a situation.
Having worked with Alpha for many years, not only Zeta, but even Beta and Epsilon, knew from the start that the person before them was not Alpha herself.
However, they had never imagined that someone other than the Elven hero Aurelius could look exactly like Alpha, and even seemed to be stronger than Alpha!
In fact, not only Beta and the others, but even Modred, who was currently at a disadvantage and being overwhelmed in the fight, had not expected that their side would have such a powerful ally.
But soon, the equally bewildered Modred suddenly heard a voice in his mind.
"The Elven Sword Saint is a pawn I have manipulated. If the situation turns dire, I will make a move against Shadow Lord, but I do not wish to expose my connection with the Cult, so I will not help you."
Upon hearing this sudden voice, Modred, who was already frustrated, immediately showed a look of elation.
Indeed, his previous decision to recruit Night City Omega into the Cult was the right choice. Night City Omega was far superior to useless people like Dameim.
In the current situation, he had even managed to manipulate an Elven Sword Saint to fight for them. She was truly a valuable asset to the Diabolos Sect!
"Beatrice... is an Elven Sword Saint, and she's also a member of the Diabolos Sect? That's impossible."
Princess Alice, who had been knocked unconscious earlier, had now regained consciousness and was watching the two figures fighting in the air with disbelief.
Shadow Lord aside, Beatrice was her idol when she was young. Could it be that Beatrice was also a member of the Cult? Alice couldn't accept this.
"Nothing is impossible. Our Cult's power is beyond your imagination.
Whether it's Shadow Lord or Shadow Courtyard, they are merely weeds blocking our path!"
After receiving a secret message from Night City Omega, Modred, who had been feeling dejected, suddenly felt empowered again.
With the Elven Sword Saint and Night City Omega on Shadow Lord's side, defeating her was only a matter of time.
Once Shadow Lord falls, the rest of them will be like scattered sand. This advantage is mine! Modred only needs to hold out until Shadow Lord is defeated.
