Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Zhou Baiyu walked briskly down the steps.

Several pioneers, as if by a tacit understanding, knew what the final matter was.

Waking Dream Uncertainty headed towards the temple.

Sitting paralyzed behind the temple was Guang Tongchen, who opened his eyes. After a brief rest, his abnormal physique granted him the ability to move.

Supporting himself, Guang Tongchen walked towards the place where Boluke was, holding the treasure sword that demons greatly feared.

His stance was as steadfast as ever—despite having reached his limits, he seemed as though he had never been injured, as if he still possessed the strength to defeat a demon lord again.

This man's will was nearly as solid as steel.

In the depths of the temple, in the room where Boluke was... it wasn't long before four pioneers arrived.

Zhou Baiyu was the last to arrive.

Reaching the depths of the temple and glimpsing the silhouettes of his three companions, the destiny of 'My Path is Not Lonely' shone brightly once again.

That feeling was too marvelous.

When he thought he was fighting alone, his teammates had already solved the biggest problem.

He was an oddity among the pioneers. A different walker who praised by corrupt seeds and inherently loathed by humans.

But even a different walker is not a loner after all.

'My Path is Not Lonely,' on the road to preventing the apocalypse, one always has companions.

Seeing Waking Dream Uncertainty and Guang Tongchen covered in blood and feeling the power that destiny granted him.

Zhou Baiyu strode forward to line up with the three others.

The four pioneers were reunited once again.

"I'm late, huh."

Zhou Baiyu chuckled. He was actually just as tired. Ringing the bell had been extremely exhausting for him.

"You're here, and that's good. We don't know how to deal with this succubus. Aren't you quite good at handling succubi?" Waking Dream Uncertainty said with a double meaning.

Startled, Zhou Baiyu thought to himself, brother, you've met Zhang Haoyun too; some jokes shouldn't be thrown around lightly.

"I don't handle just any succubus. Midel is silver-haired, after all. This one isn't even silver-haired."

Boluke was shocked.

As a half-breed of a succubus and a desire demon, her lineage was indeed impure, lacking the silver hair that only succubus nobility boasted.

It looked at Zhou Baiyu with confusion.

Why did this man know Midel?

It had some understanding of succubi. Midel was a talented one.

And also a succubus noble.

Clearly, Zhou Baiyu had no intention of entertaining Boluke's confusion:

"You're a half-succubus and half-desire demon, right?"

Zhou Baiyu hit the nail on the head.

Boluke was shocked again.

It was not yet proficient in casting the "Incarnation of Desire" ability since, until then, there was no one in the Land of Joy worth using such a method on. Plus, having sustained injuries from the bell's impact, Boluke was somewhat weakened.

Besides, even at its peak, it had no confidence in contending against four pioneers.

"Yes."

"No wonder, I thought those eyes looked familiar. So they're from Jerusalem."

Remembering his first encounter with the desire demon Sha Yue, which appeared as a mud-like creature, but in his vision had become the living embodiment of Tifa.

Zhou Baiyu remembered that succubi charmed with their beauty, whereas desire demons bewitched with the desires within one's heart.

The statue of Boluke proved it indeed possessed the form of a succubus, yet could cast the spells of a desire demon, convincing Zhou Baiyu—Boluke might indeed be a rare hybrid.

"Who is your mother?"

"I will not tell you."

"Then I'll take away the secret treasures on your body."

"Would you not take them if I told you? Deceitful humans."

Zhou Baiyu raised an eyebrow; Boluke clearly understood the situation well.

"To be honest, I'm not very patient with you. Whether you're a desire demon or a succubus, although I have a good personal relationship with Midel and have had deep and friendly exchanges, reaching agreement on many occasions..."

"I know very well that beautiful monsters are still monsters, and not every one of them possesses the humanity that Midel does."

"So, let's skip the interrogation. If there is someone behind all this, you can choose to give me their name, and I'll let you live."

"If not, I will kill you. Let's skip all the detours and tell me your decision directly."

Boluke didn't even hesitate:

"I've already failed. My greatest use to my mother is gone... heh, lowly humans, I will not betray my mother..."

"Even if she doesn't love me, I still love her the most."

Zhou Baiyu nodded:

"So it's Reina."

Boluke's pupils shuddered:

"No... impossible. How could you know?"

"Ah? I was just guessing. I'll tell you, the closer this man is to me, the more accurate my premonitions become."

Zhou Baiyu pointed at Guang Tongchen.

Guang Tongchen wore an expressionless face.

Waking Dream Uncertainty and Jiang Xianwu were unaware of this matter, assuming that Zhou Baiyu was just spouting nonsense.

At the same time, they were curious about this unexpectedly smooth interrogation.

Zhou Baiyu said:

"It's not a wild guess after all. Although you lack the silver hair, as a hybrid, your lineage isn't pure, and not having silver hair is quite normal; it doesn't mean your powers are weak."

"Plus, you didn't deny there's a bigger figure behind you."

"The items you've dealt with are the secret treasures of the gods. Coupled with your impure succubus lineage and desire demon heritage, I suspected avoidance of suspicion."

"Moreover, whoever tasked you with such an important mission must hold high authority among succubi or desire demons."
