Volume 1 Chapter 583
by post_apiChapter 583: Is the Gifted Field Going Wild?
The next day, Eden Palace.
The Holy Capital of The Church of Light seemed to always have beautiful sunny days.
Early in the morning, Lolth didn’t waste any time; after a quick breakfast, she headed straight to where her esteemed niece was.
As for Dorothy and Patricia, they were also acting according to Lolth’s instructions.
However, Lolth did provide an extra layer of safety for the two of them to act alone.
Although in the area of Eden Palace, one should be able to trust the Pope completely,
to give Dorothy’s identity more weight, Lolth handed the Rod of Eden to her own disciple.
At the same time, she instructed the disciple to protect Dorothy well.
As for how to protect her…
Anyway, Dorothy herself could use some Holy Light power.
Plus, if Rod of Eden agreed, even if a demi-god suddenly went crazy, it wouldn’t be a problem to keep her safe for a while.
Moreover, this was in the territory of The Church of Light.
There likely were not many people who would dare to go against Rod of Eden.
So Lolth felt quite at ease letting Dorothy and Patricia play by themselves.
However, on the other hand…
Dorothy felt a little unhappy.
She and Patricia left Eden Palace, ready to explore a bit.
But when she thought about the teacher giving special lessons to Princess Coristo, Dorothy felt a bit sour inside.
Dorothy had always had a gentle personality.
In fact, even though she was only fifteen years old, because of her experiences…
It wouldn’t be too much to say she was wise beyond her years.
If one only considered her state before meeting Lolth, Dorothy’s emotional intelligence might have been higher than Isabella and Tina’s combined.
Even then, Dorothy was still the kind of girl who was very "well-behaved and understanding."
She understood that Lolth’s plans were actually very reasonable.
She was now the "Holy Maiden" and had to make use of this.
So, it was best for them to act separately.
This was also to end everything as soon as possible.
But… thinking about the teacher being alone with Coristo.
The thought that she had shown her gentleness only to her, and that another unknown woman would enjoy it…
How could Dorothy possibly feel okay about that?
Oh right, the teacher’s disciple was also Senior Sister Kanor…
But Senior Sister Kanor was different!
She was only eight years old! And she fully supported Dorothy!
Besides… Senior Sister Kanor was still a little older than her…
Thinking of this, Dorothy could only sigh…
Thankfully, Senior Sister Kanor was only eight years old and had no interest in Teacher Lolth at all.
If that elder martial sister’s talent were to oppose her…
Just imagining that possibility gave Dorothy a headache.
However, on the other hand…
Teacher Lolth had just established a relationship with her yesterday!
But today, she no longer cared about Dorothy at all.
No matter what… it was definitely not unreasonable for her to be angry!
Thinking of this, Dorothy convinced herself!
She decided to be angry with Teacher Lolth for one hour!
Meanwhile, Patricia watched Dorothy, whose expression changed every second and whose inner thoughts were clearly very complicated.
She couldn’t help but sigh.
"Oh, the girl in love…"
She shook her head.
Indeed, even the descendant of a hero could act like this when in love…
Oh no, according to the Pope’s words yesterday in the basement and some rumors that Patricia already knew,
the brave one, Trish Diana, was about the same.
Considering that Trish Diana probably loved Lolth, her sister, back in the day.
The Diana family might have a succubus gene in their blood.
Patricia thought this with a dark sense of humor.
In front of the home where Fourth Princess Coristo lived in Eden Palace,
Lolth gently knocked on her big door.
Then, she began to wait.
Five minutes later, there was no sound from Coristo inside.
Lolth furrowed her brows slightly…
"This can’t be a lazy dog that won’t get out of bed in the morning, can it?"
So, Lolth knocked on the door harder.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
However…
Inside, there was still no sound.
Lolth felt that something was not right.
After all, even if Coristo was really a sleepyhead, she couldn’t possibly ignore this knocking.
Most importantly…
She was a princess; didn’t anyone take care of her daily life?
Lolth did see the butler and the maid yesterday!
Lolth decided to investigate.
Because Eden Palace was already the most important place of The Church of Light.
So the buildings there were not like the palaces of other countries, which had many complicated designs and magical formations to hide things from people.
This also showcased the power of The Church of Light.
Lolth easily used her magic to see through the walls and understand what was happening inside the room.
However, it was better not to sense anything.
But once she did, Lolth was startled!
The room was filled with a certain familiar yet strange atmosphere.
This magic carried a clear essence of the abyss…
Tracing back, it could be linked to a sleeping soul and body, which naturally belonged to Coristo.
Lolth was very familiar with this form.
"Damn, even a quarter succubus bloodline can have a gifted field, huh…"
Lolth silently covered her face.
After all, succubi were quite a high-ranking race; although their direct combat ability was generally not great, most adult individuals could at least reach Superlative Level.
It was even quite common to reach even higher levels.
Moreover, many races did not awaken their field abilities until the Holy Domain.
Even if they had it in advance, it might be that they learned a special skill like Knight Aura, just like Isabella.
However…
The Succubus clan was truly unique in this regard.
They were not just one of the few races that were born with domain abilities before reaching the Holy Domain, making their path to advance to Holy Domain particularly easy…
The conditions to awaken their gifted field were quite outrageous.
As long as they had experienced desire once, they would awaken.
In a sense, this was almost like the second sex characteristic of the Succubus clan…
Once you had the initial shape of the awakened field…
It meant you had "matured."
The only moral belief in the Succubus clan was…
Not to harm kin who have not awakened their gifted fields.
This was why Lolth’s childhood had been relatively good, and problems only started in her teenage years.
However, thinking about this, Lolth couldn’t help but feel curious…
If she were three thousand years old…
Why would she still have such a complete experience of her seventeen-year-old life?
It felt as if she had just crossed over from somewhere else.
"Did Mom or my sister do something to my mind?"
Lolth mumbled, but she wasn’t very careful.
When the time came to go home next, she would just ask casually.
Anyway, her personality was quite laid-back.
Moreover, it was more important to deal with Coristo’s situation first.
Thinking of this, Lolth used a simple unlocking spell to open the door and walked inside.
Then…
She noticed that the entire room was filled with fluffy objects that looked like light blue ribbons.
The smell was also very sweet.
And gently touching these light blue, cloud-like ribbons,
they even seemed to glide along people’s skin, bringing a subtle sensation.
After being touched, Lolth felt a gentle magic seep into her soul.
She became clear-headed.
Although Lolth had always been popular and kept herself pure, she had encountered many gifted fields of succubi for various reasons.
These gifted fields were not unique to each person; many of them shared similarities.
Moreover, succubi took a serious and careful attitude towards their bodies and souls. Within the succubus clan, there were many academic writings and research on gifted fields.
Although Lolth was not particularly interested, she was diligent and eager to learn, so she could not avoid this knowledge entirely.
Therefore, Lolth did have some knowledge in these areas.
In just a moment, Lolth figured out the general effect of this gifted field.
If it weren’t for the long-standing theory within the Succubus clan that the awakening of gifted fields is influenced by heredity being proven false, Lolth might have been able to use this information along with the time frame to roughly deduce who had the audacity to disturb Privy Bishop back then!
Of course, it turned out that the gifted field was random.
Her own and her mother’s gifted fields were completely unrelated, and another mother didn’t even know who it was.
And her older sister’s gifted field…
Well, Lolth didn’t even know what it was.
Before she found out yesterday that her older sister was a no-good hero’s bad girl, she had thought her sister was the kind of person who would stay pure.
Looking back, it was quite sad.
The Succubus clan really had many bad girls…
Although it may not have seemed so by Succubus clan standards, in reality, from a general race perspective…
Every succubus had a bit of an affair when they took off their pants, but they wouldn’t recognize you when they put them back on.
After all, for the Succubus clan, it was just like playing a game or having a meal together.
It was enough to make many people think about it for a lifetime.
Every year, you could see many other Abyssal Demon girls waiting affectionately in front of the Succubus clan’s territory.
They were just chosen by a certain succubus by chance, and they couldn’t resist.
Then, some of them fell in love during that one night or a few nights of enchantment…
If I were also a heartbreaker, Isabella, Tina, and Dorothy would have already been completely taken by me.
However, Lolth couldn’t really criticize anything.
After all, she was considered an "odd one" in the Succubus clan.
Just because she could control herself, she couldn’t expect all succubi to be abstinent, right?
This was the instinct of the Succubus clan, after all.
Just like how Barbarian Demons liked to throw stones, Frost Demons enjoyed sliding, demon dragons liked to drink, and Balrogs preferred same-sex relationships…
This was all part of their way of life.
Lolth did not irrationally kidnap all the other succubi.
It was fine if someone wanted to be a vegetarian, but if they didn’t let everyone else eat meat…
That would be a different story!
We could only say that all of this was due to differences between races.
It was also an unavoidable part of cross-species communication.
She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
Instead, she focused on analyzing Coristo’s gifted field ability.
"Blue fluffy thing floating… stable state of condensed magic…"
"When it touches the soul, it can quickly restore energy and strength, stabilizing the soul… Hmm, it surprisingly belonged to the refreshing type."
Lolth sighed.
In fact, this was one of the few gifted fields that could be used for more than just that kind of thing.
After all, restoring energy and strength was a great support ability, even in battle.
Even if it wasn’t for battle or that kind of thing, it was good for staying alert and focused in daily life.
Lolth even felt a bit envious of Coristo.
Her own gifted field… why was it "forced attraction"!
It was truly amazing.
However, this also made Lolth understand why no one was there to take care of Coristo in the morning.
Because when the Succubus clan slept, they tended to easily awaken their gifted fields.
It was completely normal for a teenage girl to have a spring dream.
Lolth’s own field worked just like that.
So, Coristo was probably afraid that her field would be exposed or cause some unnecessary trouble.
At the same time, Lolth understood why Coristo couldn’t be woken up no matter how hard she tried.
Obviously, this little girl was also consciously suppressing her gifted field.
So once it erupted, it would be like Lolth’s gifted field.
Entering a state of rage.
Because Lolth’s domain was CUI emotions, entering it in a rage would lead to some unfortunate events.
This kind of emotional rampage sounded strange…
The effects would also double.
Just a wisp of blue fluff, even Lolth could feel a strong energy recovery effect.
It showed how good this thing worked.
The ability to stabilize the soul was actually even more advanced.
This thing was like a mix of energy and calm.
Those who were awake would feel alert, and those who were asleep would feel peaceful.
So once the outburst happened…
The immediate effect was that those who were sleeping would sleep very deeply.
With the natural healing effect, this sleep could allow her to go ten or eight days without needing more rest.
At the same time, since Coristo had only one-quarter of the succubus bloodline,
her control over her gifted field was even worse than Lolth’s.
At least Lolth could still control herself from being affected by CUI.
When Lolth walked into the room, she saw Coristo lying on her bed, sprawled out with her chest rising and falling.
Clearly…
In her own field, she had fallen into the trap herself.
Lolth saw this and shook her head.
She hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided not to wake Coristo directly.
After all…
Lolth made a quick judgment and realized that the runaway time in this area was already coming to an end.
Coristo, after all, had hardly practiced any extraordinary powers.
Even in her normal state, she probably couldn’t maintain her gifted field for too long.
Let alone in this runaway state.
According to Lolth’s judgment, since it started last night, it was already close to the end!
