Chapter 29: The Red One
[You and the Mucus Avatar: Reni have completed the first fusion, you can choose to learn one of her abilities, do you want to learn one now?]
Pushing Ms. Mucus away from him, Leo sat up from the ground, brushed his sweat-drenched hair, and gave her a playful slap on her soft bottom, "Feeling good now!"
"Big sister feels comfortable, but little sister still has a long way to go~" Miss Mucus giggled mischievously, wiggling her bottom enticingly, "Master, give it a little more effort~ Just now I teased you, didn’t you want to get back at me?"
"…" Leo, who had just entered a wise state of mind, was stirred up again by this naughty woman. He covered his forehead with a sigh, "It’s almost midnight. The grand bishop will be arriving soon, so let’s hurry and tidy up~"
"Oh, there’s no rush, we still have time~" Reni stretched lazily, proudly showing off her curves and pointed to her head, "I’ve read her memories."
"Last time we contacted them, the grand bishop and Arbitrator told Reni that to keep things under wraps, they would take a longer route to shake off any followers and deal with the Saintess of Order’s hidden tricks, so they would be a little late. Considering the time, there are still four natural hours left, which is enough for you to handle your matters~"
"I hope so," Leo sighed and began organizing his clothes.
The difficult situation over the past few days had made it hard for him to fully relax. Instead of believing that the grand bishop would arrive in four hours and lowering his guard, he chose to get things done as soon as possible.
This might be a bit too cautious, but without this caution, Leo wouldn’t be alive now.
He had a clear self-awareness — an ordinary homebody with slightly above-average intelligence.
Someone like him, trying to survive in a strange world filled with thorns, needed not only the courage to face danger but also the caution to take careful steps at all times.
The plan to devour the warden is a complete combination of both.
Before taking action, he collected as much information about the warden as possible and even relied on Lani’s memory to create a profile of this wicked woman’s character.
However, even with so much information, Leo didn’t dare to rush in directly.
There was no choice; he had only one life and had to be very careful in his actions.
Leo couldn’t be sure if he could withstand the warden’s seductive powers.
But don’t forget, although the warden’s [Desire Temptation] has a maximum range of 400 meters, it doesn’t mean she can’t target just one person. In that case, her power would be even stronger…
If she fully unleashed her power against him, could he withstand it? Even if he could, how long could he hold out against the huge difference in physical strength?
Even if he was lucky enough to block it, what could he do when his physical strength was exhausted, facing her trump card that turned into a succubus?
Last night, when he decided to take down the warden, Miss Slime hesitated to tell him about the time she almost failed when she devoured his sister Lani.
Only then did Leo understand that for an enemy with a very high Spiritual Vision, simply influencing their mind could not guarantee a foolproof victory.
To win, all risks must be removed.
There are too many unknowns. Thinking about these in advance, Leo did not dare to bet his hopes on them, so he made a plan based on Warden’s personality.
A plan to consume her habitual behaviors.
One could say that Warden’s choices in every situation were all predicted by Leo.
This does not mean Leo is exceptionally cunning or wise; it is just the inevitable result of his careful consideration.
He even thought about how to trick her into revealing her hidden card if Warden did not transform into a succubus beforehand.
To make this plan happen, he was even willing to be a pawn, letting Miss Mucus control him.
But because of this, he won.
"Oh dear, Master, you have no idea! I almost couldn’t control my expression just now!" The soft, charming sound pulled Leo back to reality.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at Reni, who was getting dressed. "What’s wrong? Are you too nervous? Or are you scared in front of someone much stronger than you?"
"N-no way! If you aren’t afraid, how could I be!" Reni’s face turned a rare shade of red, looking a bit flustered. "I just didn’t expect… that everything that bad woman did would be predicted by you!"
"It’s just a matter of information difference," Leo waved his hand dismissively.
The difference in information often decides the success or failure of things, whether it’s a great war or the pursuit of someone you admire; it’s always the same.
"Alright, once you’re dressed, let’s leave this place. First, we need to take care of the bodies of the dead believers in the Forbidden Forest. Ha, dying at the hands of their own boss, those reckless people are really laughable," Leo chuckled as he straightened his collar and walked towards the stone steps.
Reni followed him, looking at his back, feeling that Leo’s aura had changed greatly from the beginning.
He was more confident, but… also much colder.
"Master… can you really do all this just because of the difference in information?" Reni murmured softly, tilting her head. "In the memories of these people, there has never been someone who did better than you in such a situation…"
……
An hour later, Leo and Reni, after dealing with the bodies of the believers, returned to the branch altar of the Joyful Church.
Among those bodies, there were many female believers with outstanding figures and faces, some even had special abilities.
Unfortunately, Miss Mucus could only consume and assimilate living women.
These bodies were not very useful.
Fortunately, after this night, the most trusted and close followers of Reni within the cult were all eliminated. Not only did Miss Mucus not have to worry about being exposed, but even Leo did not need to worry about handling "colleague" relationships poorly anymore.
Entering the underground level two of the cult, Reni, dressed in priestess robes, adjusted her clothing.
The big leaders from the church were about to arrive, and she needed to give some teachings to the believers.
The believers were already waiting by the door, kneeling on one knee, not daring to meet her gaze.
Reni’s noble face was cold as ice, and her emotionless gaze swept over the believers, "Listen carefully, the grand bishop and the Arbitrator are about to arrive. Take good care of the human sacrifice; do not make any mistakes! Also, check the sect’s barrier; I do not want any problems at this time."
"Yes, warden!" the believers responded eagerly, afraid to upset this great lady.
However, a few of them secretly gazed at Reni with envious eyes.
There, Leo had already changed into the joyful robe, smiling kindly at them.
In the next moment, the envy and jealousy in the believers’ eyes grew stronger, especially among those who escorted Leo to the warden’s room last night; they gritted their teeth in anger.
The warden’s order to dismiss all sex slaves and reorganize the personal guards had spread throughout the branch, but who would have thought that the human sacrifice taken last night would suddenly become the warden’s favorite?
