Volume 1 Chapter 700

Chapter 700: The Truth And… Mom?!

Xiletor’s close companion, a certain succubus…

Only at this moment did everyone realize the single individual who could fulfill both identities mentioned by Kululu to separate parties – Lolthlinda herself.

Lolth came to the same realization.

Kululu sighed while observing the succubus sisters clutching their heads in dismay. "Well… Consider this a minor spoiler about your antics three millennia ago."

The stunned Trish Diana, after several seconds of bewildered silence, began correlating memories with the current revelation. "Wait… You both came to the main plane as sisters?"

"But the final ‘Demon King’ I encountered… was you, Xiletor!"

"What roles did you two actually play?!"

"Since when did the Demon King become twin sisters?!"

Lolth finally snapped back to reality. "Holy hell… Why do I resemble the previous Demon King then?"

"Even if it weren’t me but you, sister, this situation’s utterly absurd."

Trish Diana’s words clearly indicated her original assumption – that Xiletor had been the previous Demon King.

Xiletor’s eyes darted nervously. "Well… I technically was the former Demon King…"

"You went all out, sis! Infiltrating the hero squad as Demon King to romance the champion?" Lolth’s mouth twitched sarcastically. "Did you drag me in as your replacement?"

Xiletor remained silent, throwing a desperate look at Kululu, who exhaled deeply. "Trish… Lolth…"

"The Demon King during the Abyssal Crusade three thousand years ago was both of them – they alternated the role."

Trish Diana’s eyes suddenly widened with realization. "Then was ‘Arnold Elro’ from the hero party also your shared identity?"

Xiletor’s silence spoke volumes.

"Uh… How should I explain…"

Witnessing this evasion, Lolth palmed her forehead. "What in the nine hells did we do together back then, Xiletor?!"

This response confirmed everyone’s suspicion – the succubus sisters had indeed alternately portrayed both "Sword Master" Arnold Elro and the Demon King.

Trish Diana’s face first flushed with anger as she glared at the sisters, teeth grinding audibly.

"So, Xiletor, you plan to keep hiding this from me forever?!"

"That explains why you’ve been blowing hot and cold toward me sometimes…"

Kululu nodded.

"Look on the bright side, Brave One. At least Xiletor isn’t some heartless playgirl—she hasn’t been toying with your affections…"

Hearing this, Xiletor glared daggers at Kululu.

"You’ve said more than enough!"

As these words hung in the air, Trish Diana suddenly jolted with realization.

"So… you never cheated on Yelixi?! And you didn’t seduce that Great Sage either?!"

Her eyes widened incredulously as she turned to Lolth.

"You’re the one who entangled yourself with both my best friends?!"

Lolth froze.

Memories of her first encounter with Yelixi flashed through her mind.

"Wait… that was me?"

"Am I truly such a scoundrel…?"

Xiletor exhaled deeply and gave a solemn nod as Lolth spoke. Kanor massaged her temples with a pained expression.

"Now we’ve got three-thousand-year-old figures involved… The complexity of calculations has increased exponentially."

Dorothy, currently the only one sharing an intimate bond with Lolth, maintained her composure. "This means Sister Patricia’s situation is truly tragic…"

Kanor’s eyes lit up with understanding. "Exactly! Both my ancestral mentor and progenitor were caught up in Master Lolth’s romantic entanglements back then…"

Kululu cleared her throat delicately, suddenly aware she’d unveiled too many secrets.

"Enough dwelling. Let’s consider this whole mess resolved now that misunderstandings are cleared…"

"Shouldn’t we all return to our normal affairs?"

Three pairs of eyes—Xiletor’s, Trish Diana’s, and Lolth’s—snapped toward her simultaneously. "Are you mad?" Lolth countered.

Though the "misunderstandings" had mostly dissolved, the tangled web grew more intricate than ever.

The revelation remained: she and her sister had alternated roles as Demon King and Sword Master under the shared alias Arnold Elro, simultaneously courting both Trish Diana and Yelixi Flavesima.

To crown this chaos, Lolth had approached the Hell Demon God herself to strip Trish Diana’s Brave designation without consent.

For Trish Diana, she came to realize that Xiletor wasn’t actually a heartless woman, and that the one who struck a deal with the Hell Demon God hadn’t been her after all.

As for Xiletor, her long-guarded secret could no longer remain concealed—though the silver lining was that Trish Diana wasn’t responsible for the Hell Demon God’s pact either.

Regarding Lolth…

"After all the twists and turns, the blame circles back to me!"

She sighed, overwhelmed by endless guilt.

The Diana family’s curse, the forsaken Yelixi…

All these tragedies originated from her.

Even the three-thousand-year misunderstanding between her elder sister and Diana stemmed from her actions.

Yet Xiletor and Kululu sighed in unison.

"No, sister. This isn’t favoritism… but if you witnessed the complete truth, you’d never believe yourself at fault."

Kululu gave a faint nod.

"By all accounts, we’re actually the ones who’ve wronged you…"

Trish Diana’s expression shifted subtly upon hearing this.

"Xiletor, are you implying…"

Xiletor nodded solemnly.

"It was her doing."

At these words, Trish Diana turned to Lolth with newly softened eyes.

Lolth blinked in bewilderment.

"What in the abyss did I do now?!"

"Stop being so cryptic!"

Kululu shook her head gently.

"I’ve told you, Little Lolth—we aren’t speaking in riddles by choice…"

"Revealing this much today already breaches countless boundaries… You must reclaim these memories yourself."

"Remember the three truths I shared…"

Her words were severed by a thunderous roar shaking the air.

"KULULU!!!"

"XILETOR!!!"

"LOLTHLINDA!!!"

"What exactly are you three… conspiring about?!"

The trio paled simultaneously at the voice. Trish Diana’s brow furrowed as recognition dawned—

"Aunt Sokabus?"

Dorothy and Kanor exchanged glances, instantly identifying the speaker from Trish Diana’s murmur.

This voice belonged to their beloved Teacher Lolth’s other parent… the counterpart to the God of Light.

The sovereign of the Succubus clan!
