Chapter 19: New Abilities and the Truth
"Master, you don’t like this type? I wanted to give you a surprise…" The enchanting woman in front of Leo slowly melted into a puddle of black mucus, with a few sticky tentacles moving in a human-like way.
"…" The corner of Leo’s eye twitched twice, and he sighed, "Surprise? I think it’s more like a shock…"
"Shock? Were you scared, Master?" The mucus swayed a little, seeming very pleased, "Or are you worried that something happened to me?"
"…" Leo sighed again and calmed himself down.
He directly sat on the ground, crossed his legs, and activated True Vision Eye towards Miss Mucus.
After all, this was his first time seeing Miss Mucus’s true form.
[Mucus: Tina (She seems to really like the name of the first human she ate)]
[Race: Unknown. Human. Succubus (Mixed-blood)]
[Level: Low-level believer]
[Power: 0]
[Agility: 0]
[Physical strength: 50]
[Charm: 0]
[Intelligence: 5]
[Spiritual Vision: 0]
[Ability: Mimicry, Fusion Training, Perceived Suffocation]
Looking at Tina’s attribute panel, Leo felt even more uneasy.
In a panel where everything was zero, there was suddenly a physical strength attribute of 50…
It was almost ten times his own physical strength…
He actually worried that this person might be in danger… He should be more worried about himself in the future.
Also, I know about mimicry and fusion training abilities, but what is Perceived Suffocation?
Leo looked at the system’s explanation.
[Perceived Suffocation:
[Rating: Unknown
When Mucus wraps around the target, the target’s breath will completely vanish, and cannot be seen.
[This ability can be used while in a mimic state.]
What a great ability! Leo propped his chin and winked at Miss Mucus, "What is this Perceived Suffocation skill? I’ve never heard you mention it before!"
"Hehe, Master, this is my new skill that just awakened~ After eating Warden’s sister, I feel like I’ve become stronger~ I think I can hold Warden now~" As she spoke, Miss Mucus’s shape began to change, and a plump and juicy naked upper body appeared in the Mucus, but her head and lower body still looked like Mucus.
"Hey, hey, hey, don’t only change half! That’s very strange!" Leo covered his forehead.
"Oh, yes, I am now called Lani, Warden Reni’s twin sister~"
Mucus swayed a couple more times and gradually transformed into an older sister dressed in black tight lace armor, with a charming face, purple hair, purple eyes, almond-shaped eyes, and a beauty mark.
She took Leo’s hand, pulled him up, and led him to sit by the sofa in the deeper part of the room.
Only then did Leo have a chance to examine this Warden’s room.
This is a very luxurious room.
The latch on the big door is covered with a shining layer of metal, which seems to be gold. On both sides of the door stand elegant suits of armor, and the floor is covered with carpets made of animal fur. There are many oil paintings of men and women together hanging on the walls, showing the work of a famous artist.
Looking up, the ceiling has a three-dimensional medieval chandelier and several heads of monsters that Leo has never seen before.
On the crystal table in front of him, there are steaming meat dishes, a variety of seasonal fruits, and a Dragon Crystal Wine Glass with lipstick marks on it.
In the scarlet liquid, the reflection shows Leo’s red eyes.
As he touches the gold-trimmed sofa armrest, Leo feels like he is in a medieval castle, living a life of luxury and indulgence.
This environment is much better than the small cell he was in.
This is just the branch altar of Joyful Church; what does the main altar look like?
Shaking his head, Leo pushed those thoughts aside and turned to hold Lani’s chin, examining her closely, "Is this the warden’s twin sister? I must say, she is indeed tempting…"
"Since the master thinks I am tempting, then let’s—"
"No! First, let’s talk about important things!" Leo stopped Lani from taking off her clothes, "Tell me what happened, how did you end up eating the warden’s sister? And where did the warden go?"
He had not forgotten that he was currently in the warden’s room.
"Oh, don’t worry, master~ the warden is healing two kilometers away in the Underground Forbidden Area outside the branch altar~" Lani covered her mouth and giggled, her big eyes twinkling mischievously, "Then let me tell you what happened last night~"
"Hmm."
"Last night…"
"…"
About ten minutes later, after Leo had heard the whole story, he finally relaxed and drank all the red wine from the Dragon Crystal Wine Glass, "I really didn’t expect that, things turned out this way, it seems luck is on our side."
The facts were quite different from Leo’s previous reasoning.
The hunt for the Order Sect saintess was something Joyful Church had planned for a long time.
Joyful Church, knowing the saintess’s travel route in advance, set up an ambush along her path.
A total of four branch altars were deployed, including two advanced believers, three Joyful Dolls, five mid-level believers, and over one hundred seventy low-level believers.
Such a force was quite luxurious for the Order Sect saintess, who originally had only three advanced believers guarding her. Joyful Church thought they could easily capture the saintess, but they did not expect the information to be wrong—
Among the saintess’s guards, only two were advanced believers; the other had been replaced with a higher-ranked Paladin.
Despite the resistance from the Order Sect, the mission was completed in the end. The Paladin and the other two advanced believers were executed, but Joyful Church also suffered significant losses.
Out of the more than one hundred seventy low-level believers, fewer than thirty survived, four out of the five mid-level believers were lost, three Joyful Dolls were reduced to two, and all of the two advanced believers were killed in battle.
In the end, the only believer left to give orders was the mid-level believer, warden Reni.
With such a force, not only could they not escort the saintess to the headquarters, but even if they wandered around a bit longer, they would be torn to pieces by the pursuing Order Sect.
So, Warden Reni had no choice but to send the remaining Joyful Doll to escort the Order Saintess to the branch altar, while she herself would connect with the main temple using a ritual and then return.
That is why she arrived a little later than the Saintess.
Of course, although the Warden survived, it does not mean she is in good condition.
The two sisters, Warden, were both injured during the capture mission.
The younger sister, Lani, mainly provided support from the outskirts, so her injuries were not too serious; the elder sister, Reni, had a bigger problem. If she wasn’t already stronger than an average mid-level believer and had a quarter of demon blood in her, she might have died on the spot.
Even so, it was just a stroke of luck that she survived. Now she is extremely weak, and without timely treatment, she does not have much time left.
Usually, that would be fine; she could find a place to recover, but right now, it is a very special time…
