Volume 1 Chapter 435

Chapter 435: Lolth, My Superhero

Because the church’s power in the main plane is really strong, and the Divine Kingdoms are directly on the ground, studying the relationship between divine power and magical power has always been a taboo.

Although there is a precedent of Shadow Magic, where divine power degraded into magical power over an era, even the most advanced academic organization, the Wizard Association, has not yet understood the principles of this era.

Besides the restrictions from the gods, the break in eras itself also presents a huge challenge for research.

No gods have died in this era, so in the end, the Wizard Association only developed a few dark Shadow Fiend spells.

Because of this, the backlash of Shadow Magic is still a terminal illness here in the main plane for Superoperators.

Legendary Sneaker and Warlocks have once died from this.

The priests and mages responsible for treating them have sighed, saying that unless the Shadow Church still exists or someone can master both divine spells and sorcery to the level of a High Priest or Great Sage, it may be possible to think of a solution to this situation.

So, no one thought this thing could solve the problem.

Except for Lolth.

She thought for a moment, took a step forward, and moved closer to Julie.

This action made Qiong feel tense right away.

"Stop!"

She drew a snake-shaped dagger from her waist, bent towards Lolth, and said cautiously.

Her sharp beast ears stood up, and her pupils narrowed.

"You have to believe me, I really mean no harm," Lolth spread her hands, looked at Yi, and noticed that this swordswoman just frowned slightly without any intention to attack, which made her feel a little more at ease. "In any case, just watch…"

As Lolth said this, she also moved past Qiong.

This left Qiong speechless again.

The ranger was already known for being agile, and Sneaker was even faster at this moment.

But no matter how fast, it could not match Lolth’s space magic.

Seven steps away, space magic is quick.

Within seven steps, space magic is especially quick.

In just a breath, Lolth appeared right in front of Julie.

Three magic cubes lit up behind her.

Even though she could heal without the magic cubes, Lolth needed to act quickly since Qiong was about to attack herself.

"Construct the spell."

Lolth released a touch of pure magic and, almost instinctively, transformed them into Shadow Magic.

The sub-god’s power had weakened, and such an interesting magic was something Lolth had certainly studied.

With the help of the magic cube, this "transformation" process was recorded.

Then, a burst of magical light appeared behind her.

Qiong, the Legendary High-Level Sneaker, delivered a powerful strike that hit the defensive spell created by the magic cube and was blocked.

Lolth looked at Julie, who was still in shock, and slowly spoke.

"So… Miss Julie."

"Do you wish to keep your epic strength until you transform into a monster a year later, or are you willing to pay the price of losing your power for a chance to start over?"

Lolth asked this, and Julie looked somewhat confused.

The creature in front of me… is clearly a succubus…

Why does it sound like she is trying to save herself?

No, that’s not right…

Julie suddenly remembered.

This succubus had already saved her once before.

From that huge, legendary monster.

So, in a flash of thought, Julie gave her answer.

"I… want to live."

Even though she thought it was impossible, Julie felt that this succubus girl might really have a way to save her.

At the moment Julie spoke the words.

Lolth gently raised her finger and tapped it lightly on her nose.

"Buzz—"

The three magical cubes suddenly lit up.

Yi looked at this scene with a look of shock.

The "transformation" process that the magical cubes recorded a moment ago was released again.

At the same time…

This "release" was also reversed.

Shadow Magic transformed into pure magic.

Inside Julie, a little bit of Shadow Magic slowly turned into pure magic.

The twisted and messy black lines faded, and Julie showed a look of pain.

She felt very unwell.

It was like being skinned and having her muscles pulled.

Just when Julie was about to cry out…

Something was stuffed in her mouth.

"Just eat something and bear it, what illness doesn’t hurt?"

Lolth shoved a piece of muffin she had with her into Julie’s mouth and turned to look at Qiong.

Even though Julie looked very pained, Qiong realized through the changes in her junior’s magic…

This succubus really is saving her.

Thinking about how she just poked her, Qiong felt quite embarrassed.

After a long silence, she finally lowered her head to Lolth.

"Thank you."

"And… I’m sorry."

"It’s okay, you didn’t hurt me anyway," Lolth said generously, but then she saw the brass puppet standing between her and Julie, facing her. "Oh right, and you too."

She suddenly realized this was a great opportunity to clear her name among these people.

Just as she expected, the brass puppet spoke at that very appropriate moment.

"Please ‘Lolthlinda Falt Sokabus’ answer the question."

Similarly, the suggestion that one must tell the truth also fell upon Lolth.

This suggestion was not the rough work of the previous cultist.

Even Lolth found it a bit difficult to eliminate its influence while maintaining the magical cube.

However…

Lolth did not plan to resist.

"Oh… because if I don’t come, the Demon King will attack South Sotua to hand this thing over to me. To prevent that situation, I came myself."

Lolth said this in a calm tone.

It sounded like she did not want to create more wars.

Although she did think that, it was definitely not her reason for coming here!

But this is also Lolth’s strategy.

She is not only very good at defending against "hints," which are too familiar, but also very good at using them!

Now Yi also let down her guard, and Qiong felt even more guilty.

Because Lolth’s words made her sound like a great person who thinks of the main plan and the bigger picture!

Yi looked at her; although she still had a serious face and her hand rested on her white cloth-wrapped weapon, the magic that had already been withdrawn proved that she actually believed Lolth.

Combining last night and today’s observations of Lolth, along with the good feelings from Lolth saving someone just now, and adding to that Lolth’s words a moment ago…

"Even though we have different positions and are like enemies, in this half-plane, since you also don’t want to cause trouble, let’s live in harmony for now!"
