Chapter 249: Yes, I Am the Hidden Master Sent by the Succubus Clan to Protect Lolth!
Lolth knew that both she and the Demon King understood one thing very clearly: although the main plane is not as dangerous and chaotic as the Abyss, which makes its average strength very high, there are still many top masters.
A huge population and many nations and races have given birth to countless geniuses and strong fighters.
From the numbers of legends and epic heroes in the Holy Alliance, we can see that they are roughly equal to those in the Demon Army.
Therefore, it is not hard to deduce that there are actually quite a few in the Holy Domain above the legends.
The Demon King’s view on this is quite simple.
If they do not send out battle power above legend, then the Demon Army does not need to bring out battle power above legend from the Abyss.
The Demon King himself hardly ever takes action – although the reason is unknown, Lolth has speculated that it might be because of an agreement or "restriction" with some higher beings.
In fact, the Demon King’s arrival in the main plane seems to already be an act of "crossing the line" – Lolth had heard her elders complain about this before joining the Demon Army.
However, after realizing that the main plane, although it has delicious food and fresh, sweet air, is not a quiet and peaceful place, Lolth, who firmly believes that preparing in advance is the key to lying comfortably, has made many emergency plans.
One of these plans is what to do if one day she is targeted or attacked by a powerful being from the Holy Domain, or even caught in the crossfire when a Holy Domain expert acts.
Lolth thought of a brilliant idea.
Then, she could pretend that there is a hidden expert protecting her!
This kind of thing is very common in the various novels she read in her previous life. When the spoiled children of big families go out to experience the world, there are always hidden experts from their families, usually called "Elder X" or something similar, protecting them from the shadows.
Although in most novels these "Elder X" are mostly useless, at most they just shout something like, "You dare!" when the protagonist defeats those spoiled children and then come out for a revenge attack.
But in reality, this kind of behavior usually works.
Lolth even vaguely suspects that there might be many hidden experts following the Demon Army.
For example, the frost magic lady at the sixth window in the cafeteria, no matter how you look at her, she seems to resemble the frost magic clan leader from the portraits in the Abyssal Hall, with a face that looks frozen and icy…
I did not see any hidden masters from the succubus clan following me—of course, Lolth was very aware that the succubus clan probably didn’t have any hidden experts.
Her fellow clan members, just like herself, were not skilled in direct combat, and her mother seemed to be among the minority who immediately surrendered when the Demon King started a rebellion to take over the Abyss.
However, Lolth was quite grateful for this; without it, she might not have been able to use her connections to join the Demon Army as a civil servant, and even become an officer.
But this also gave Lolth some space to maneuver.
She always kept a realistic clone and items that could change her form in her hidden space magic bag.
If she really had to fight, she would first use her transformation!
Of course, since transforming was troublesome and costly, and fighting with the Holy Domain was risky, Lolth thought it was better to avoid violence if possible.
"I hope this old man realizes that I am a good succubus."
Murmuring this, Lolth stepped forward, got closer to the edge of the magic circle, showed a friendly smile, and let go of her extraordinary aura as she shouted at the old man holding a sword.
"Well, that old man over there, I mean no harm. How about we talk? There might be some misunderstanding between us!"
But when the old man heard Lolth’s words, he became very cautious.
Although this old man is very powerful… he doesn’t have much experience with the demon race!
When he was active, this thing didn’t even exist in the main plane; by the time the Demon Army invaded two years ago… the old man had already retired.
His knowledge about "succubus" is actually similar to Tina, Isabella, and others—at most, he knows the more formal details.
In his view, when a succubus of Legend High Level starts a conversation with him, it definitely means she wants to corrupt him! To use mental spells on him!
In fact, this view isn’t wrong for other demons besides Lolth.
As for Lolth’s uniqueness… This old man is seeing her for the first time, and no matter how strong his abilities, how rich his experience, or how incredible his instincts are, he would never guess that this succubus hasn’t learned any mental spells or special abilities!
So, the old man’s stance is quite clear.
To show respect for his opponent, he held his sword with one hand and with the other hand, took a folded handkerchief from his chest. After shaking it open, he tore it into two strips: one tied around his head to cover his eyes, and the other ripped in half to block his ears.
"There’s no need to waste your breath; my will is very strong, and I won’t give you any chances—succubus!"
The old man said this as he thrust his sword forward.
The slender sword, which looked like a decoration, slowly pierced the air in front of the old man.
Then…
"Boom!"
Several meters behind the still and steady tip of the sword, a violent wave erupted!
It was as if a dwarf’s Divine Artifact-level cannon had fired, or like the legendary phoenix with wings a hundred meters wide flapping its wings!
The chaotic airflow and magical energy destroyed the magic circle before the old man, but did not harm the mercenaries at all.
After the scattered flow of magic and the crumbling magic circle, Lolth sighed as she looked at the old man with a cloth covering his eyes.
"So, there’s no negotiation…"
The destruction caused by that sword continued forward, instantly swallowing her figure in the chaos.
Not far behind the old man, Ranster, who had jumped a few meters when he swung his sword, couldn’t help but clap softly.
"So cool… no wonder it’s the ‘Old Order Sword’—Gandhi Alter!"
In the southern part of Hillenbrand Town, someone also shouted this name in surprise.
"Gandhi Alter, why is he here!"
Isabella, who was directing the Superoperator to move the mercenaries, suddenly looked up and turned to the north of the town with a shocked expression.
"Wait… the north, this is bad! Lolthlinda!"
When she realized what was happening, she immediately ran north at full speed without looking back.
As she passed through Hillenbrand Town, she saw Tina rushing towards her from the west!
The other person noticed her too.
"Lolth is in danger! There is a terrifying presence in the north… almost as strong as Sister Froer’s teacher!"
Tina shouted anxiously at Isabella.
