Chapter 246: Chapter 154: Insta-killing the Succubus Empress! This Is the Charm of a Myth

"Edith!"

Meisli shrieked in fury. Her Demon’s Wings unfurled in an instant, and her pitch-black, heart-tipped tail shot out, rigid as an antenna. Dark flames roared to life behind her!

Her eyes were locked on Edith, as if she wanted to tear her to shreds.

Su Xuan swept his gaze over her, instantly acquiring her information.

[Meisli (Legendary)]

Level: 75 (56,050/60,000)

Race: Succubus

Power: ? / Agility: ? / Magic Power: ? / Physique: ?

Growth: 12 (Gains 12 points to All Attributes per level up)

Skills: (Expand)

’A Level 75 Great Succubus?’

Su Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly, a flicker of concern crossing his mind at the Succubus Empress’s formidable strength.

But if Meisli truly was the Succubus Empress, her level seemed a bit low.

He knew the Succubus Race was in decline, but there was no reason for them to be this weak. Typically, the monarch of a race should be at least Level 80, especially in the Abyss, where power is paramount.

But for the Succubi, the primary Demon Race of the Abyss of Lust, to have an empress who was only Level 75 was clearly illogical.

Just then, Meisli’s roar echoed out once more.

"Edith! Because you escaped, I was punished by the Demon King! I was forced to become Lan Kai’s Demon Slave for eternity, imprisoned in the Demon King’s Castle!" Meisli roared, baring her sharp fangs. "I’m going to kill you! I’ll devour you alive!"

"A Demon Slave? Heh..." Edith sneered, her eyes glinting with an icy chill. "You brought that upon yourself. You tried to offer me as a gift to a Demon King from another Abyss, only to end up a plaything yourself. Meisli, you’re as foolish as ever!"

"I’ll kill you!"

Meisli bellowed, spreading her wings and trying to lunge at Edith.

However, her movement abruptly froze in midair.

"How is this possible..."

Meisli stared in disbelief at her immobilized body, unable to comprehend what kind of power could possibly control the movements of the Succubus Empress herself!

"You?"

Edith laughed contemptuously and walked calmly toward Meisli.

As she reached Meisli, Meisli tried to channel her Magic Power to resist, but her body wouldn’t obey her, leaving her completely at Edith’s mercy.

"Meisli."

Edith stared at Meisli, her voice as cold as frost. "The only things you inherited from your mother are stupidity, Pride, and that uncontrollable, primal lust. But don’t worry. I will take your place and become the new empress of the Succubi, forging a new Succubus Race. As for you..."

Before she finished speaking, Edith flicked her finger. A crimson butterfly woven from Magic Power fluttered toward the center of Meisli’s brow.

"You!"

The moment the butterfly sank into her forehead, Meisli felt a terror she had never known.

Her eyes bulged, and her entire body trembled violently.

Then, Edith commanded her, "Remove the restriction on the Succubus Collar. That man must have granted you this authority."

As Lan Kai’s Demon Slave, Meisli surely possessed the authority to remove the Succubus Collar’s restriction.

Otherwise, how could she bear the most powerful Son of the Demon for Lan Kai?

But this was likely the only insignificant power she held. Even she couldn’t touch the other treasures.

"E... Edith..."

Meisli let out a weak, defiant growl, but her body moved toward the Succubus Collar against her will.

She understood in her heart that this was the suppression of a nobler bloodline, making it impossible for her to defy Edith’s command.

But this only confused Meisli more. She was of the orthodox Succubus Empress bloodline!

How could she be suppressed by Edith’s bloodline?

Edith was just an ordinary Succubus born into the race, one who didn’t even know who her mother was!

The moment Meisli’s hand touched the Succubus Collar, dark purple runes flashed on her skin before merging into the collar.

The restriction previously hidden within the Succubus Collar was lifted. Then, Meisli presented the collar to Edith with both hands.

"Now then~"

Edith took the Succubus Collar, a cold smile playing on her lips. "You’re of no more use to me."

The words had barely left her mouth when a wisp of crimson Magic Power swiftly enveloped Meisli.

"Edith! I curse you! I curse you with my very soul! Lord Lan Kai will not let you get away with this!"

"Aaargh!"

With a final, bloodcurdling scream, Meisli’s corpulent body instantly dissolved into a bloody mist, vanishing without a trace.

Su Xuan couldn’t help but be stunned by the scene.

’Killing a Level 75 Meisli in a single move?’

’Just how terrifying is Edith’s strength?’

"We shouldn’t linger here. Let’s go."

Edith immediately activated the Teleportation Array to leave.

As Su Xuan stepped into the Teleportation Array, he glanced at the other items in the Demon King’s Treasure Vault and couldn’t help but sigh internally.

’So many treasures, all bound by restrictions and impossible to take. What a shame!’

’Just you wait!’

’I’ll come back to rescue you all sooner or later!’

With a flash of red light, the three of them appeared outside the Demon King’s Castle.

At that moment, the Demon King’s Castle was still quiet. It seemed the Demon Race hadn’t yet discovered Meisli’s death or the theft of the Succubus Collar.

"I have other matters to attend to. Mary will open a passage back to the Magic Continent for you later. You can return on your own."

As she spoke, Edith placed the Succubus Collar into Su Xuan’s hands.

But Su Xuan immediately felt something was off about the Succubus Collar in his hand. The three hearts had become two?

[Succubus Collar (15 days): An item for Succubi to reproduce. It can also help them undo their second seal.]

"This is a replica of the Succubus Collar. Its effects are identical to the original, but it only lasts for fifteen days," Edith explained. "No one can wear the real Succubus Collar, so Succubi usually wear replicas woven from its Magic Power. Besides, brand new is better, isn’t it?"

"Yeah."

Su Xuan nodded. If it weren’t brand new, a reproductive tool like the Succubus Collar would probably be stained with the essence of many lives.

"Take good care of Ivsha. I hope that the next time we meet, she will have successfully undone her second seal." With that final instruction, Edith transformed into a streak of red light and vanished without a trace.

Watching Edith disappear, Su Xuan was filled with questions.

’Edith hasn’t even undone a single Succubus seal, yet she’s this powerful. It’s hard to imagine how terrifying her combat strength will be once she unlocks her sealed Demon Patterns.’

’Perhaps this is the shocking power that comes with being a Myth.’

’Edith’s talent is in no way inferior to Lucia’s or Mare Rhine’s!’

Not long after Edith left, Mary’s voice entered Su Xuan’s mind.

"Human, I’ve opened a passage out of the Abyss. It’s behind you and to your right. Leave the Abyss, quickly," Mary said to Su Xuan, her voice urgent.

"Right."

Su Xuan nodded and immediately headed toward the location Mary indicated with Lucia.

Just as they caught sight of the Teleportation Gate leading out of the Abyss, a figure flew out from within Su Xuan’s body.

"I’m back in the Abyss? No! I don’t want to be back! WAAAAH!"

Miss Ghost floated in the air, her face a mask of anguish as she cried out.

Su Xuan’s brow furrowed at the sight. ’What’s with Miss Zhen Bai’s intense reaction?’

’Why does she have such a strong aversion to the Abyss?’

While he was wondering, a headless Undead Knight quietly appeared near Su Xuan. It stared intently at Zhen Bai in the air and said in a low voice, "Found you, my lady!"
