Chapter 24: The Plan Changes
Looking at Warden Reni in the distance within the magic circle, Leo couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
Sometimes, the gap between people is greater than the gap between a person and a dog.
[Warden: Reni (injured)]
[Race: Half-blood succubus]
[Rank: Mid-level believer]
[Power: 11]
[Agility: 12]
[Physical Strength: 12]
[Charm: 10]
[Intelligence: 6]
[Spiritual Vision: 16]
[Abilities: Pleasure Body, Enchanting Eye, Desire Temptation, Swordsmanship (Beginner)… (The gap in strength between you and the target is too great; part of her abilities is shrouded in mist.)]
"With a Spiritual Vision of 16 points and such high physical strength…" Leo shook his head and smacked his lips twice.
Even if he raised Spiritual Vision to 16 or 17 points, he feared he wouldn’t be able to control this woman; the huge difference in physical strength would have him defeated in less than five seconds.
Thankfully, he had already anticipated all of this and had made thorough preparations.
"Lani, have you memorized the plan?" Leo said as he allocated his 6 free attribute points to Spiritual Vision, then released the [scent of the succubus].
At that moment, his stats all surged by 15 percent, especially Spiritual Vision, which, thanks to the points and buff, had reached 16 points, matching Warden Reni’s Spiritual Vision.
Of course, Reni had not yet used the [scent of the succubus], so her Spiritual Vision had not reached its full potential.
If she activates this ability, her Spiritual Vision will reach 18 points, and Desire Temptation will be able to control Leo.
However, this doesn’t matter too much, because at this moment, Leo is not activating his ability for these stat boosts, but for—
[When you activate this ability, your identity will be regarded as a purebred succubus.]
Yes, at this moment, Leo has become a purebred succubus in everyone’s eyes.
A male succubus.
Although it’s only for 15 minutes, it’s enough.
In Lani’s memory, she clearly remembers that Reni spent her entire life searching for succubi that granted them tainted blood; even joining the Joyful Church had something to do with this.
This is a part of Leo’s plan.
"I remember, Master," Lani nodded. "I will tell my sister that there is a stray succubus among the cult’s human sacrifices; she would definitely want to meet you."
"Hmm. This way, I can get closer to your sister with proper justification." Leo continued, "Then, the gunpowder that has been prepared will explode at that moment, and the believers of Joyful Church will notice something is wrong and come toward the forbidden area. Warden Reni is naturally cautious, so she will think the Order Sect has attacked and will immediately release Desire Temptation to take control of the situation."
"To save some physical strength, she won’t attack me, who is also a succubus, so we trick her out of her most repulsive skill, and then it will be easier from there."
This hunting plan was made specifically for Reni.
It considered her abilities as well as her personality, giving it a success rate of more than ninety percent.
As for the only possibility of failure…
It would be if Reni, upon seeing him, disregards the so-called kinship and tries to control him forcefully.
At this thought, Leo furrowed his brow.
If such a situation really occurs, then that card can only be played…
"Then, master, let’s take action." The young girl’s voice interrupted Leo’s thoughts. He chuckled at himself and turned to look.
There is no attempt in this world that has a hundred percent chance of success.
Since you have decided to do it, don’t worry unnecessarily.
Lani looked into his eyes, brushed her long purple hair, and licked her lips.
On the branches in the forbidden forest, flying insects were struggling in the spider web, and an eight-eyed spider emerged from the darkness, slowly waving its legs towards them.
But what neither insect noticed was that under the dim evening sun, an old, withered crow was making a sharp, unpleasant crowing sound.
In the forbidden area, the altar’s magic circle emitted a faint glow, and the echoes of the two people’s footsteps filled the empty stone steps.
Louder and closer.
Warden Reni frowned and sat up from the center of the magic circle, "Lani, has the sect sent any news? Why are you here to find me now?"
"Sister, there’s nothing from the sect." Lani walked down the stone steps with Leo.
"If there’s nothing going on, then why come to find me?" Reni narrowed her eyes and asked, "And why bring a stranger along?"
"If nothing is happening, can’t I come to see my sister?" Lani licked her lips, "Hmm, sister, I feel a bit lonely~"
Reni did not speak, only hid her hands behind her back and drew a magic spell in the air.
Until a familiar soul wave came from a girl in the distance who looked just like her, the beautiful warden let out a sigh of relief, "I told you, you should choose the right moment. Can’t you hold on for a few days while the order’s troublemaker is still with the faction? What if something goes wrong…"
"Oh well, anyway, when midnight comes, the grand bishop and his group will arrive, and our task will be done~" Lani took Leo’s hand and slowly walked forward, "Also, there’s one more thing. I’m worried that when the grand bishop arrives, it might not be convenient."
"What thing?"
"Sister, can you feel his identity?" Lani pushed Leo in front of her as she spoke.
"Identity, cough cough…" Reni coughed a couple of times, wiped the redness from her lips, and then frowned at Leo, "He’s just a human sacrifice, right? Wait, your scent is… that scent."
"Yes, sister, you’re not mistaken." Lani cradled Leo’s face, her eyes sparkling.
"This is a succubus, a purebred succubus who has been badly hurt and has almost lost her memory."
"Really, truly, cough cough." In a panic, Reni coughed up blood but didn’t bother to wipe it away as she walked up to Leo. "It’s really… a pureblood succubus… and it’s a man…"
"Yes, sister, I also didn’t expect that among the human sacrifices we caught, there was a pureblood succubus hidden away." Lani continued to explain using the words Leo taught her but realized that her sister wasn’t listening to her at all.
Instead, she looked at Leo with a sickly, twisted, and crazy gaze, murmuring, "With him, we can wash the blood off ourselves, ah, we can go outside the high walls in the far north… We just need a ritual, yes, a simple ritual, hmm, very simple, Mare’s tail grass, mithril, dragon’s blood iron… Yes, we will offer him to our master…"
As she spoke, a deep red appeared in Reni’s eyes.
In that moment, Leo realized it was the glow of the Enchanting Eye.
She wanted to control herself!
If she fell for it now, all their plans would be ruined.
Not only that, but he felt like he was being delivered to that wicked woman, as if he were a package…
Damn it, what you fear, you will face!
That wicked woman is chasing the pure-blood succubus, not for information, but for a sacrifice!
She never even told her sister about this!
Leo’s heart trembled, but he forced himself to keep a calm expression, pretending to be numb, and silently instructed Lani, "Stick to the plan!"
"Sister~" Lani understood and, before Reni could cast Enchanting Eye, she held her shoulder.
"What are you doing!" In a panic, Reni swung her arm wildly, almost knocking her "sister" away.
"Sister…" Lani was startled, biting her lip with a sad look on her face.
"…I’m sorry, Lani…" Reni realized her mistake and patiently explained, "Let’s talk about this later, okay? This sacrifice is too important to us, and only by controlling him can I…"
"Sister, I understand, but…" Lani stepped forward, placing her finger over Reni’s mouth, her eyes turning red, "But sister is hurt, so it’s better not to use your strength. Let me handle controlling this man! I want to help you!"
Before her words finished, she turned to look at Leo.
The [Enchanting Eye], which belonged to his sister Lani, passed into Leo’s gaze.
He offered no resistance at all, completely relaxing his mind and fully embracing this power.
Only the corners of his mouth lifted slightly without any visible trace.
Phew… That was close.
It worked,
Reni.
Catch you.
