Chapter 97: Chapter 80: Atrocities_1
Duanmu Huai stormed into the restaurant like a brute, flipping over the table before him and charging towards the succubus like a robber. The latter, in fury, started whipping at Duanmu Huai. Meanwhile, the rest of the group also joined the fight, engaging with the other enemies.
While playing the game, Duanmu Huai didn’t particularly despise any of the Evil Gods. But now, he found that those he loathed the most were the Followers of the God of Lust.
“Damn you, dare to look down upon me? Do you think you are so pretty? Look at your unconventional pigtails, your disgustingly rat-like tail, your goat-like hooves, and that ugly face of yours that requires illusion techniques to be presentable. You still dare to belittle me? You really think you’re attractive, don’t you?”
“Damn sow!”
“Boom!!”
With a swing of the hammer, the succubus dodged by a hair’s breadth. The Thunder Warhammer whistled past her, crashing into the wine barrels behind. Immediately after, the succubus raised her hand to attack with her whip, hitting Duanmu Huai’s Power Armor — with no effect, of course.
Among the four cultists of the Evil Gods, the Followers of the God of Lust specialized in mental and spiritual attacks but were quite average in physical attacks and extremely poor at piercing armor. Apart from using illusion techniques for cosmetic purposes and running fast, these pathetic creatures had no combat power at all.
The succubus, having failed her attack, planned to flee. Normally, it would be difficult for Duanmu Huai to catch her due to his low agility. However, he currently possessed something to neutralize the succubus, thanks to Sigma’s protection.
Gravity Gloves!
As the succubus strove to flee, Duanmu Huai raised his right hand at her and made a clenched fist. The next moment, an invisible wave of gravity increased drastically, pinning the succubus to the ground. Before she could react, Duanmu Huai opened his right hand, and the succubus, as if caught by a magnet, was drawn towards him. He then grabbed her hoofed leg, raised her high, swung her around, and then slammed her onto the ground!
“Bang!!”
The succubus landed heavily on the floor, her upturned nose crushed to pieces, while her sharp teeth shattered from the violent impact. But Duanmu Huai was not done with her yet. He held onto the succubus’s leg, brandishing it mercilessly to the left and to the right.
“Thud! Thud! Thud!!”
Duanmu Huai’s actions were relentless as he swung the succubus around, treating her like a rag. This sight not only made the surrounding succubi tremble with fear but also instilled terror into Combat Nuns and other people, keeping them at bay.
“Woah … Sir Knight is really scary when he’s angry …”
Lorena shrank back a little, whispering to Merlot, who silently nodded in agreement. Only Ogis remained calm. She had wanted to help, but Duanmu Huai had asked her to stand aside. So, she just stood nearby, watching his master swing the succubus around.
Swinging her around, smashing her up and down.
It must be said that this succubus was quite sturdy. It took repeated blows from Duanmu Huai before she finally transformed into a purple light and vanished into thin air. But not long after, she reappeared in front of Duanmu Huai and his companions.
“Foolish … mortals …”
The succubus, apparently having recovered to her original state, glared at Duanmu Huai with seething rage and roared.
“You can never kill me, this is the power of my master, you can never annihilate me!!”
“It seems this mansion has been affected by some sort of malevolent magic from the succubus.”
The Combat Nuns spoke up this time.
“As long as her magic continues to take effect, I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to kill her.”
“That’s perfect then…”
Duanmu Huai dropped his war hammer, clenched his fists, and gazed at the succubus before him, his grin as ghastly as a Texas chainsaw murderer.
“It looks like we can have some fun, Miss Succubus… As for dispelling the dark magic, I’ll leave it to you.”
“————-!”
The succubus’ expression dramatically changed upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words. She immediately turned to flee, but Duanmu Huai merely extended his right hand. Quickly, invisible gravity restraint the succubus once again, pulling her back to Duanmu Huai’s side. Duanmu Huai grabbed her by the throat and lifted the frail succubus into the air, glaring into her eyes fiercely.
“Listen well, you trash. I will break your nose, shatter your teeth, explode your head, and show that dead succubus you worship just how hideously mutilated her faithful follower will become. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. You and your disgusting succubus of an Evil God weren’t that appealing to begin with. You had to resort to illusion techniques to even show your face; you dare to judge me?”
“Ugh… uhh… ”
“Taste this!!!”
Next, Duanmu Huai grabbed the back of the succubus’ head and directly slammed her face into the ground, forcefully rubbing it back and forth.
“AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”
The succubus’ screams echoed into the heavens, making everyone around involuntarily quiver.
It wasn’t until the combat nuns had purified the dimension stone in the mansion, dispelling the dark magic of the succubus, that she was finally released. After a barrage of agonized wails, she returned to the demon realm; however, it was safe to say that the trauma she suffered would probably haunt her for the rest of her life.
By taking down this succubus, Duanmu Huai had let off some steam. He realized that the God of Lust was his true nemesis. The other Evil Gods weren’t any better, but the God of Lust was more disgusting.
If you resembled a human being, I could understand if you despised me. But you’re not even that, you’re hideous, relying on illusion to alter your appearance into something tolerable, and you dare to judge how ferocious I look? Don’t think I don’t know – none of you bastards are even human!
So I’ll show you how fearsome I can be! I’ll show you true savagery!
By the way, perhaps intimidated by Duanmu Huai’s brutal treatment of the succubus, the remaining followers of the God of Lust scattered. None of them dared to stay except for a few distorted perverts who were crushed to death by a blow from Duanmu Huai.
Consequently, the mission to reclaim the aristocratic district was successfully completed.
Not only that, but they also found a clue from a spirit prophet that had been captured by the followers of the God of Lust – not long ago, a Sigma Paladin who had intruded into their area had been captured by followers of the Brutal God in the southwestern military district. They killed the paladin and used him to initiate a ritual to open a portal to the Brutal God’s realm.
Logically speaking, their next step should be to break into the military area and interrupt the ritual.
However… it’s not that simple.
Unlike the other Evil Gods, the Brutal God enjoys battle. If Duanmu Huai and his group rushed in to fight, any deaths on either side would only strengthen the power of the portal. They may even open the portal by slaughtering all the followers of the Brutal God, given that the Brutal God thrives on blood and battle and creates power from them.
But if they did nothing…
For a moment, everyone was stuck in a dilemma.
But for Duanmu Huai… he had his own solution.
