Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

However, Constantin was still able to maintain his composure and analyze the situation:

"It seems you dare not attack me, so let's do as I say and travel together."

Bai Ling walked ahead, exposing her back to Constantin.

Constantin said helplessly:

"Do you understand my language?"

"Yes. I learned it when I was a child."

"In a place like the Advanced World?"

"Yeah, it's pretty simple. Dad taught me a bit, although he didn't teach it seriously."

Dad?

The "dad" Bai Ling mentioned was her birth father.

And soon after, the dad she met was not the same dad.

But Constantin didn't know any of this; he just thought that such a strong girl's dad must be very strong.

"How did you know I was a seer?"

"It's simple, you tore open the backs of two of my teammates, saw the pattern, but you chose not to kill them afterward. Instead, you let your teammates deal with it and even deliberately kept your distance."

It dawned on Constantin. From the beginning, the entire battle had been within Bai Ling's observation.

Facing Bai Ling's terrifying observational skills, he no longer asked questions like "How do you know the rules?".

Even the reason why Bai Ling would expose her back, he had already found the answer.

Unveiling the magician's tricks didn't make Constantin lose his reverence, instead, it made him even more fearful of Bai Ling.

"If you find a suitable teammate, would you kill me?" Constantin asked.

Bai Ling explained:

"A suitable teammate? Someone stronger than you and whom I can restrain, there are definitely plenty of them on this island."

"But if I kill you to choose a stronger replacement, the moment I do this, a seed of doubt will take root and grow. When the next teammate has the same question you had, he won't ask me because he has already seen me kill my previous teammate."

"That would make him always wary of me and convinced that I will harm him."

"It's fine for my teammates to be wary of me, but we can't be truly in opposition. We don't need too much trust between us, but we can't have absolutely no trust."

"So, Constantin, from now on, besides not touching each other, there's no difference from real teammates, understand?"

Logical and well-reasoned, this argument was more convincing than any claim of "I won't kill my own teammates, I have principles".

Constantin accepted her explanation.

He nodded:

"I'm getting more and more curious about your dad. Is he also in this recruitment?"

"Not sure, maybe he is. I'm also looking for him."

At this moment, Bai Ling was referring to another "dad," the one connected to the shattered wristwatch on her hand.

A key item that once conquered the Land of No Light, now just a keepsake for the girl to remember by.

She looked around, unsure where to go, wondering where in this vast and huge island she could find "dad".

She always remembered that promise, the father and daughter teaming up against the Seamer. But she hoped that their meeting wouldn't only happen when confronting the Seamer.

"If I encounter a suitable teammate... What if I want to leave you?" Constantin hadn't noticed the subtle change in Bai Ling's expression as she was missing someone.

He was somewhat accepting of the fact that a foreign Purifier, carrying the seed of Dragon Summer's corruption, was participating in this recruitment.

But he also had his own considerations.

He wasn't familiar with the Dragon Summer region, but he knew several of Dragon Summer's vanguards, even the legendary ones.

Only by finding Guang Tongchen and Jiang Xianwu could he truly be at ease.

Bai Ling still wore that calm and collected expression, already starting to walk toward the center of the island.

"You can leave, my two companions are dead, but I have avenged them. If you encounter a suitable teammate, I won't make things difficult for you, if you really think your teammate is better than me."

"Of course, if even I think your teammate is excellent, I'll try to persuade them to take me along."

Damn, she's cool-headed.

Constantin thought, if only this woman wasn't one of the corrupted, but a vanguard or a Purifier, how great would that be?

Humanity definitely needs such a powerful being.

Unfortunately, she was one of the corrupted, and her father, presumably, too.

But Constantin believed that as long as he found Jiang Xianwu, he might get some information.

After all, such a formidable corrupt kind wouldn't be common in Dragon Summer.

Constantin thought for a moment. Given Jiang Xianwu's penchant for exploration, he would surely head towards the center of the island.

Unless Jiang Xianwu had been assigned to the island's center from the start. That possibility wasn't very high.

Constantin said:

"Let's head toward the island's center, you looking for your dad and me for my new teammates. If we encounter any hostile forces, we can deal with them along the way."

"Sure. I also think he should head towards the island's center,"

Bai Ling agreed with Constantin's opinion, and the two headed towards the island's center.

...

...

The center of the island. The Tianyuan position.

Karlando's pursuit was swift.

The highest level battle on this island unfolded quickly.

The perception of the Blood Demon was extremely strong. Although the fog hindered perception, the smell of blood still led it on.

Therefore, the Blood Demon quickly realized that a figure was approaching at high speed.

The Blood Emperor feared no challenge. On the contrary, as the most powerful of the demonic race, few dared to challenge it.

So, when Karlando, dressed in a missionary style, appeared, the Blood Emperor did not sense a crisis. Instead, it thought this was a fine game.

"So it's a demon,"

Karlando revealed a smile. The Blood Emperor also smiled.

In a place where chaos stones stood tall, like fierce beast fangs piercing through the ground...

The most powerful creature in the Longxia region of the Advanced World was about to face off against the strongest being from a region ruled by the new gods.

"Polluted kind. Didn't expect to actually see one here."

"Oh, you actually know about pollution,"

Karlando faced the Blood Emperor, extremely composed.

This composure somewhat displeased the Blood Emperor, and it attempted to establish a connection with the blood inside its opponent.

But Karlando seemed to experience no discomfort at all.

"Reina said that there are beings more powerful than us outside, a corrupted variant called the Polluted kind. Although this person here is a Polluted, I don't feel that he is very strong."

The two minions of the Blood Demon were also ready for battle.

Karlando said:

"Eh, I feel like my blood is being teased, quite an impressive ability."

"Will I explode? Like this..."

Bang!

Karlando exploded.

But the explosion looked like something from a two-dimensional animation, and not a very high-quality one at that.

The next second, the scattered flesh and blood reassembled, and Karlando's broken body became whole again.

Only his entire figure seemed pixelated.

Luckily, soon his style became more "high-definition," and he gradually turned back into the real-life version of Karlando.

This mockery left the Blood Emperor perplexed.

What kind of ability was this?

"Although I look good, don't stare at me. Look around, right, do you like sewers?"

"I'm going to set the rules now."

"From now on, you will see many bricks in many sewers. You must break these bricks with your head and pop out the mushrooms inside. Eat them, and you will gain the power to fight monsters. Fun, isn't it?"

The Blood Emperor couldn't understand what Karlando was talking about.

But it seemed that Karlando had already launched the Pollution Domain. The Blood Emperor and its minions were startled to discover...

The surrounding environment had completely changed.

"A Demon Emperor, eh? That's not a being easily killed, but it isn't so simple to get through my game,"

When Karlando faced off against the Blood Emperor, the rules of rock-paper-scissors hadn't taken effect yet.

But Karlando and Bai Ling had something in common; they were the type who could exploit the rules to their advantage even if the rules appeared.

Even if the rules took effect, even if the Blood Emperor countered him, he had ways to kill the Blood Emperor without the latter being able to touch him.

Like right now.

"The rules have been established. In my game, your original abilities have been suppressed. I hope you've played human games. If you can beat the game, you can inflict damage on me."

"Also, this is the special version, Cat Mario. Good luck, monarch of the demon race."

Karlando's figure had vanished.

In the eyes of the Blood Demon Emperor, there was only a foreign world.

And... this was no illusion.

It could see the boundaries of this world; beyond the boundaries was the island from before.

"If you are the strongest existence in the Longxia region, then this summoning might be quite boring for me, right?"
