Chapter 581: A Succubus's Talent
Lance was facing the perhaps most powerful among Malice's attendants. Crystal was a formidable opponent because of one unique skill that she equips.
Boing.
Lance gulped at the two lustrous pair of melons in front of him. There seems to be an inaccurate flow of gravity around Crystal and he couldn't pinpoint how it would affect their battle. Will he lose because his eyes would wander too much or could he use this phenomenon to win?
He gripped his swords and began launching a series of attacks. He fired several black and white crescent-shaped attacks at Crystal while the woman blocked them all with her own pink-colored energy.
She was easily blocking all of the attacks that were launched at her. She could conjure web-like shields that would negate or stop the attacks from advancing. Meanwhile, Lance was having a hard time trying to penetrate her defenses.
"What is it, young man?" Crystal smirked, seeing as Lance's eyes were following her chest. "Are you distracted?"
"No!" Lance yelled. He gripped his swords once more, firing several flashy attacks as Crystal blocked them once again. She was having a good time tormenting Lance with her gifts while trying to destroy him.
"You seem distracted. Let me give you a little boost."
Using her wings, Crystal lift off the ground and hovered up and down, making her breasts bounce even more. This made Lance gulp as he started to sweat and lose his composure. His defenses were wide open and Crystal could see that clearly.
"Opening." Crystal smirked and raised her hands. She bent her right arm and stretched her left arm as a pink bow appeared on her hands. She smirked and fired several rounds of pink arrows.
Lance didn't have the time to react before the arrows reached him. He could only gulp as the attacks barraged at him like an endless rain. He screamed at the pain as his body fell to the ground.
It was a good thing that his body was tough. If not, the pink arrows would have pierced his body. The attack could've killed him and the misstep he made was a major blunder.
"That cannot happen again," Lance whispered to himself as he slowly stood. He gripped his sword and sighed. "Why must I face this woman? She's crazy strong."
"But I'm not," Crystal chuckled. "I have mid-tier powers, but my innate skills and abilities have made me overpower my opponents especially if they're boys. I like to play with them for a while before I pounce on them and kill them. It's a fun thing to do, don't you think?"
Lance shook his head. "That's not a fun thing. That's not good."
He raised his white sword and covered it with energy while he lowered his black sword while doing the same. The two swords ignited with black and white flames as he slowly spun the swords, allowing the flames to mix.
"What kind of ability is that?" Crystal narrowed her eyes. "To be able to mix your powers like that. Having two affinities is impressive on its own, but mixing them. That's a crazy thing to do."
Lance shrugged as the black and white flames layered over his body like an armor. "I guess I'm just that special."
Crystal knew how powerful Lance was as she recalibrated her evaluation of him. If he get serious, it could end her. She knew that and she wasn't going to let him do that. While he was still trying to power up, she needed to strike.
There were a lot of skills on Crystal's arsenal. She has a lot of varieties of skills and abilities, but there was one thing that she was most powerful of. It was her own body and her ability to seduce any enemy that she encounters.
"So, this is how it goes." Crystal licked her slips as she lowered herself to the ground. A pale pink mist covered her body, allowing her best parts to be exposed. This was her best ability. It wasn't offensive nor defensive, but it was seductive and it was working.
It has always worked for her. This ability never failed her.
Lance could only gulp as he watched Crystal dance in front of him. He could swear that there was a layer of oil around Crystal's body that enhanced the seduction powers of her dance. He was hopeless against it. It was powerful. More powerful than any attack he received before.
"You're just like the other boys, Lance."
Crystal continued to dance. She walked forward, slowly so that her opponent would not notice that the distance between them was closing. Her powers of seduction was working well because it seemed that Lance was still and was only staring at her.
She licked her lips again, this time, matching her dance with a little bend of her body and dragging it across before snapping back up, making sure her breasts would bounce. "There's something special about you, Lance."
Lance grinned, cheeks red but his eyes had a goofy expression on. He giggled as he watched the beautiful woman slowly get closer, and closer. She was inches away and he could almost touch her.
This made Crystal smile. She knew what every boy's weakness is. It was a woman's body. She finds boys simple-minded and they were easy to manipulate. There were times that she has a hard time trying to seduce them but all of them would always give in if she gives it enough time.
They would always give in to her.
"Are you ready for the main course?" Crystal whispered on Lance's ear as she wrapped her arms around his neck as she raised her right leg over Lance's waist, wrapping it around him.
"What's the main course?" Lance gave out a goofy expression as he waited for Crystal to continue.
This was her bait and bite strategy. When she successfully seduces her opponent, she would get closer and wrapped her body around them. She would ask them the question and when they ask her back, she shows her real face.
Crystal was about to reach out to Lance's lower parts when she felt a flow of liquid on her chest. She looked down, shocked as she saw that her chest was cut open. Blood gushed out from her body as she walked back, not realizing that Lance was able to cut through her several times.
"What have you done?!" Crystal growled. She tried to raise herself from the ground but her wings were cut in an instant. "No! What?!"
"You're a fool for think that I would easily get seduced by you," Lance said. "I have encountered more powerful Succubi before and their seduction weren't as half-ass as yours. They were literally trying to seduce for their lives while you just stand there with your little ability, thinking everyone has the same mind as the rest.
"No!" Crystal yelled. She screamed and launched random projectiles at Lance. Her powers heavily depleted after she was injured and she lost her composure. She could only cry as she watched Lance approach her.
His steps were like sounds of nightmares for Crystal. She faced death in front of her and she had no choice but to accept it. Her seduction was a failure— she was a failure. Her knees gave out and she fell to the ground, powerless.
"Aside from that," Lance lowered himself to see Crystal's eyes. "What would you think Elliot would do if he finds out that I lost to seduction? He would revive me however he can and then kill me again. And then revive me again to clean the mess up and make me regret everything. That's scarier than anything I could ever imagine."
Crsytal shook her head as tears brewed on her eyes. "No, please, no!"
Lance shook his head too, but his eyes contained something else.
It was joy.
A loss of a powerful aura awoke Malice from her slumber. She sat up from the bed, looking around to find her daughter, only for her to fail.
"Melissa?"
Malice stood and called out her daughter's name. She felt good for some reason, even when one of her attendants were killed. Something happened when she was asleep and she felt good and that it happened.
"Perhaps, she regained her soul?" Malice grinned. "For almost twenty years, I've been waiting. I have to find her."
With a step of her foot, Malice conjured several shadows that roamed the castle to find the princess. She couldn't help but smile at the idea of her getting a new body and gaining a new set of abilities. She could reach her prime once more and that thought excited her.
"I can finally be able to acquire a new vessel and become a new person."
Malice continued to roam the castle until one of her shadows spot a familiar figure. She narrowed her eyes and growled, instantly switching positions with the shadow.
"You've come to a place where you should've never been," Malice said. "Elliot Max. You are a very naughty boy who never listen."
"I am going to find my mother and then kill you," Elliot said. "You filthy demon."
"Mother?" Malice tilted her head. "What mother?"
"My mother is Melissa," Elliot said, making Malice's eyes widen in shock. "She's your daughter."
