Chapter 29: Assassination of the Interrogator

Because Lolth sensed the presence of “malicious intent” beforehand, she immediately realized the direction of the other party the moment the “malicious intent” locked onto her.

“It’s coming from that warehouse?”

She looked at a warehouse controlled by the Barbarian Demon clan, feeling puzzled.

Why in the world would there be a presence of “malicious intent” coming from the Barbarian Demon’s warehouse?

And… was this malicious intent specifically targeting her?

Could it be that a sentient Divine Artifact, fake Divine Artifact, or Sacred Tool had been mixed in as ordinary loot?

Considering that this warehouse was managed by the notorious Barbarian Demon clan known for being rough, simple-minded, and lacking in intelligence even within the Abyss, Lolth thought that this was not entirely impossible.

She just couldn’t explain why she was the target.

However, because Lolth was unsure of the full story behind this situation at the moment, her first priority was to stay on guard.

The preparation for space magic was ready, so if anything unusual came toward them, they would immediately teleport back to the torture tower!

As a last resort, she decided she could switch with Tina and use her as a shield!

Since the attackers were most likely from the Holy Alliance, they would probably show mercy when they spot that their ally was in front of them!

After Lolth formulated a plan in her head, the warehouse she had pinpointed also made some strange noises!

“Boom!”

There was a huge magical surge and explosive noise, shattering the thick stone wall of the warehouse!

Then, Lolth saw a girl covered in blood rushing out from behind that stone wall.

Despite her broken armor and bent lance, nothing could hide the terrifying magical surge and fierce killing intent emanating from the very girl!

Her presence alone made all demon races sense her in that instant…

At this place, a human knight appeared!

“Human? Legend?”

Lolth was surprised, the appearance was even more unexpected than she originally thought!

She didn’t have time to figure out which foolish Barbarian Demon had imprisoned a legendary knight, even a severely injured one, as a trophy.

Because the wounded young female knight, after breaking through the stone wall, didn’t hesitate to directly charge at her.

Isabella’s charge crossed the remaining short distance of just over ten meters even before the falling stones hit the ground.

A faint frost momentarily appeared on her battered and blood-stained armor as countless tiny ice particles formed in the air due to the overflow of magic and sudden drop in temperature, resembling that of white frosty mist.

Instead of spreading, this frost mist instantly pointed toward… the direction where Lolth was standing.

In front of Lolth, as the last tiny suspended ice crystal took shape, within this white frost resembling a path, Isabella’s figure created a shadow from within it.

“Frozen.”

She stood not far from Lolth, and firmly spoke one word.

Her powerful words showed no signs of weakness, as she smoothly executed the martial skills passed down from the Schwarzwald family that shielded others from the fact that she was already heavily wounded!

This was not a result of a brief rest.

Upon breaking the stone wall, Isabella immediately started burning her own life force without any hesitation on her part!

Trading life force for magic!

Since she had already decided to die here, she decided to shine even brighter until the very end!

She was a knight of Ryman, the eldest daughter of the Schwarzwald family!

Even though she could only take down one elite level succubus…

But since the other party was an important interrogator for the Demon Army…

It was definitely worth it!

At this moment, she had already stood within three steps in front of Lolth.

That was also the distance that her slightly curved knight’s lance could attack.

The tip of the lance was also covered with white icy frost, like a poisonous snake, thrusting directly toward Lolth’s throat!

As Lolth watched this fatal blow approaching her, she realized that she might not be able to escape using spatial magic.

Even though she was prepared to act, the sudden attack speed of this severely injured Legend Level Knight truly exceeded her imagination.

The other party was just… too fast!

She had to resort to Plan B quickly.

That was…

To pull Tina in front of her!

After all, magic that swapped two people’s positions was much faster to activate than mid-range teleportation magic.

“Let the restraints of space be briefly broken here for me, deceiving truth and reality to bring forth miracles, flipping the ends of the balance, connecting the head and tail of the serpent, joining the positive and negative of the paper ring, piercing the inside and outside of the magic bottle, let this spatial exchange become a new reality and reveal itself!”

Lolth quickly chanted the spell like rapping at a speed of twenty words per 0.1 second. Magic began resonating, and the rules of space were altered and distorted by the powerful force of magic.

Tina suddenly appeared in front of her.

“Here we go!”

Watching the scene change before her eyes, Lolth was momentarily distracted and found herself swapping places with Tina.

Both Tina and Isabella were shocked!

Because Lolth’s spellcasting was too fast, and spatial magic was one of the most mysterious types of magic, it was difficult for normal people to sense subtle spatial rule fluctuations.

So, both of them had no idea what had just happened!

Whether it was Tina, who suddenly blocking in front of Lolth, or Isabella, who suddenly appeared in front of Tina’s spear, in their astonishment, maybe due to being both high-ranking members of the Holy Alliance, their thoughts unexpectedly aligned.

“Indeed, my soul has completely surrendered, valuing the safety of this succubus so much! My body… moved on its own in an unconscious state!”

“This Moon Elf has truly fallen and been controlled. She even used her body to shield this succubus… She has become nothing more than a puppet!”

Although Isabella had originally planned to kill the “fallen traitor” and free this controlled Moon Elf, at the moment of the sudden appearance of the latter, she couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment.

Hesitation would, indeed, affect her shooting speed!

The frost-covered long spear paused momentarily, then stopped in front of Tina’s throat.

The eyes of the two individuals met.

Tina’s eyes were filled with despair and pleading.

“Kill me!”

She seemed to be saying.

As Isabella looked at the other person’s appearance, her eyes once again became resolute.

“Then let me relieve you!”

Lolth stood behind Tina. Although she couldn’t see the eye contact between the two people, she suddenly felt Isabella’s intense killing intent rising again, and she instantly came to the realization that Isabella was about to harm Tina.

“Wow, is the Holy Alliance really this ruthless even to their own people?”

Feeling the surge of magic coming from Isabella again, she couldn’t help but curse.

In this type of situation, the tip of the spear was only 0.01 centimeters away from Tina’s throat.

She was an ordinary succubus…

“Left with no other choice, I have to reveal my trump card this time!”
