Villain Ch 368. Boss With A Twist
[Congratulations! You have defeated Lust!]
[Level up!]
[You are now level 92!]
[You received 1 Queen’s Nail and 201 Coins.]
With a final clash, Lust’s strength faltered. The demoness stumbled back, her movements slowing as her eyes held a mix of surprise and defeat. Vivian’s victorious cry cut through the air, her voice ringing with happiness as she proclaimed her triumph.
“I did it!” Vivian shouted, her exhilaration contagious. “Take that, you annoying demon!”
The group shared in Vivian’s excitement, their cheers blending into a chorus of congratulatory remarks. Vivian’s triumphant grin was infectious, and as she revealed her loot, the succubus tiara, their cheers only grew louder.
“I got this!” Vivian exclaimed, holding up the tiara for all to see. She navigated the holographic inventory screen with practiced ease, equipping the tiara to her character. The tiara glowed with an otherworldly aura, fitting perfectly with Vivian’s demonic avatar.
“Nice catch, Vivian!” Shea grinned, patting her on the back.
“Damn, that’s a beauty!” Zoe chimed in, her eyes shining with a hint of envy. “I’m low-key jealous.”
As the girls celebrated, Allen’s gaze remained fixed on Lust’s fallen form. Caution colored his approach as he walked closer, his eyes trained on her face. He searched for any flicker of expression, any hint of emotion that might give him insight into the defeated demoness.
However, Lust’s face remained a blank canvas, her defeat and resignation leaving no traces. Allen’s cautiousness persisted as he extended his hand toward her.
[Do you want to use Boss Pact skill?]
[Yes / No]
That announcement was a sign that Lust was a real monster.
‘Yes!’ Allen chose.
A sudden surge of energy emanated from him. A dark aura, tinged with shades of crimson and ebony, began to materialize around Lust’s fallen form.
The air seemed to shimmer with otherworldly energy as the dark aura enshrouded Lust’s body. It was as if a dance of shadows was playing out before their eyes, an intricate display of power and mystery. The group watched in stunned silence, the weight of the moment palpable.
Slowly, the tendrils of the dark aura started to intertwine with Lust’s form. The aura seemed to seep into her, tendrils of energy weaving around her body like ethereal chains. It was an enchanting yet eerie sight, a fusion of darkness and light that held them all captive.
As the dark aura worked its magic, a subtle transformation took place. Lust’s body, once still and defeated, began to twitch with life. Her eyes flickered open, revealing an iridescent glow that mirrored the dark aura itself. The aura seemed to breathe new life into her, a revival that defied the bounds of the battle that had just been fought.
Allen’s gaze held a mix of determination and intrigue as he continued to channel the dark energy. The transformation wasn’t just physical—it was as if the very essence of Lust was being reshaped by the potent magic at play.
Lust, who had once been a formidable foe, was now a subordinate to Allen, bound by the dark aura that pulsed around her.
[Congratulations! You have successfully made Lust your subordinate!]
[Now, you can summon Lust at event time and in the Cursed Crypts!]
The aftermath of the battle was a whirlwind of emotions and questions, with each member of the group grappling with their own thoughts. As the adrenaline began to subside, Allen’s attention remained fixed on Lust’s transformed form. His brows furrowed as he seemed lost in contemplation, his gaze piercing through the layers of the dark veil.
Vivian’s curiosity got the best of her, and she couldn’t resist breaking the silence. “Allen, what’s going on? Why are you looking at her like that?” She gestured towards Lust, her eyes filled with both confusion and a hint of concern.
Allen’s lips parted as he considered how to articulate his thoughts. His gaze remained locked on Lust, his eyes studying every nuance of her revived presence. “There’s something different about her,” he finally said, his tone reflective.
The others exchanged glances, their own gazes shifting between Allen and Lust. They knew Allen well enough to understand that he wasn’t merely admiring the once-enemy before him. It was more than that—Allen’s instincts were tingling, his intuition whispering that there was more to this situation than met the eye. 𝚘𝚟𝚕．ｔ
Vivian leaned in a bit closer, her eyes narrowing as she observed Lust with a new perspective. “Different how?” she prodded, her curiosity piqued by Allen’s cryptic statement.
Allen took a deep breath, his fingers absentmindedly brushing against the hilt of his sword. “It’s hard to explain,” he began, his voice laced with a hint of uncertainty. “I just… I have this feeling that Lust isn’t like the other monsters we’ve encountered. It’s almost as if there’s more to her existence than just being an enemy in the game.”
Shea chimed in. “You’re right. We know that Lust couldn’t be a player, based on how she acted and the way she appeared. It’s just not consistent with typical player behavior.”
Allen nodded, appreciating Shea’s input. “Exactly. And if she’s not a player, then what else could she be?” He let out a sigh, his eyes narrowing as he tried to piece together the puzzle. “It’s possible that Lust is a new kind of advanced AI, designed to challenge us in ways we’ve never experienced before.”
Jane, who had been quiet up until now, spoke up. “So, like an AI boss with a twist?” She furrowed her brows.
“Maybe…” Allen said, his eyes were on Lust. Yet deep down he wasn’t sure about that. Allen’s gaze shifted from Lust to his companions, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. “But there’s still something about this whole situation that’s gnawing at me. We should stay cautious.”
Vivian nodded, her curiosity piqued. “Well, as long as she’s under our control now, it’s all good.”
Allen’s eyes flicked back to Lust one last time before he turned away, his thoughts a whirlwind of uncertainty and intrigue.
