Chapter 1768, Section 401: The Succubus Queen's Reward

The six-armed serpent demon toyed with the snake for a while, then its tone suddenly became strange: "Olme, just right, you...you wouldn't be...no..."

Annan wished the ground would sprout the elven mentor's chest so he could plunge his head into it.

Who would have thought that the Demon of a Hundred Transformations would hide its malice here... That cake they sent back then should have been spit on, blown its nose, peed on, and stuffed with rat poison!
"It's okay, you're just too tired."

Biros let go of Annan, found it amusing, and even offered him words of comfort.

Annan felt a little lost after leaving the embrace of the six-armed serpent demon, but quickly cheered himself up: "Yes...yes, I fought all night and I just want to collapse and sleep!"

"Hold on a little longer, and I'll take you to see Lady Lilith."

The time spent at Olme was much shorter than expected, allowing her to meet the Succubus Queen sooner.

Following the six-armed serpent demon back to the hall, and with Ruth in tow, Annan remembered the two Blade Demons who should still be alive: "Where are Babu and Ang?"

"You mean Babubrubideonsa and Angturmegusdala? They went to get treatment."

"That's good. Those two were a great help."

If it weren't for the two of them bravely holding off the rat-man elder, Annan would probably have had to risk being exposed to escape.

"Aren't you afraid they'll steal your credit?"

Biros showed a hint of curiosity. Rewarding people according to their merits is common among humans, but for chaotic demons, usually only the strongest get the spoils.

The Succubus Queen's Sixth Legion was the most orderly under the Demon Lord, but it couldn't change the nature of demons.

“Because I have obtained what is most precious to me.” Annan stared at the six-armed serpent demon.

Biros was caught off guard by Annan's heartfelt confession, and even her tail stiffened and forgot to wag.

"Lady Lilith is inside..."

In an instant, she was back to normal, except that the speed of her snake tail swayed a little faster, and she arrived at an obsidian open-air hall by the lava pool in the camp.

Annan saw the Succubus Queen's true form in the head seat of the hall—no longer a phantom.

The figure leaned against the obsidian throne, the nebula-like aurora outside the hall flowing down her curled ram's horns with the moonlight, gliding over the contours of her full breasts and slender waist, and sprinkling onto her crossed legs.

Her right toes lightly touched the obsidian steps, her arch taut like a crescent moon. Her alluring eyes swept over Annan, as if feathers were crawling down his spine, stirring his desire.

But... it seems like that's all there is to it.

Stunning as they were, Annan had seen Teddy before; their beauty was comparable, just at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Moreover, at this moment, Annan only had the six-armed serpent demon in his eyes.

Just as Lilith was surprised that Olme hadn't succumbed to her aura, she saw Annan rushing excitedly toward her, suddenly bending his knees along the way and sliding down the sticky bloodstains on his body to the seat.

"Your Majesty, I almost didn't get to see you again!"

The familiar words made the six-armed serpent demon turn its head.

"You only went for half a day before running back?" the succubus queen said with a half-smile.

"I didn't run away; I completed your mission!"

Annan repeated what he had said to the six-armed serpent demon not long ago, but removed the part about "not having to worry about the succubus queen's mission" and added a lot of details.

For example, the ratmen are secretly digging tunnels, suggesting they may be plotting something. Besides that—

"They even carved blasphemous statues!"

Annan shifted all the blame onto the ratmen, knowing none of them would dare to refute him. Annan finished speaking his mind, while the Succubus Queen averted her gaze, fixing it on a silhouette in the corner.

"High Priest Stunn, is that so?"

Bilus's snake-like eyes narrowed sharply. Only then did she and Annan notice that there was a fourth person in the hall.

Annan stared wide-eyed at the high priest sitting there... No wonder the ratman high priest didn't stop him from running away from the Stun camp... It turns out it was waiting for him on the demon's side!

Annan glanced at the figure in front of him: the Succubus Queen, legion commander under the Demon Lord. He then looked to the side: High Priest Stunn, one of the thirteen clans of the Skaven.

We can only pray that the Shapeshifter's talent is really that amazing...

The old, sparsely-haired white mouse said slowly, "Some of it is true, and some of it is false."

The succubus queen narrowed her eyes slightly: "So it's all true?"

High Priest Stunn stood up, leaning on his spinal cane: "I will stop them and recall the tribesmen who have crossed the line."

He turned and left the Obsidian Hall without ever asking Annan a single question.

Annan was confused, neither by the high priest's reaction nor by their conversation.

"You don't understand?"

After High Priest Stunn left, the Succubus Queen asked Annan, who was kneeling there in a daze.

"I really don't understand!"

Annan disregarded the matter of clan leader and said, "The Stunn clan has done such an outrageous thing, and you still let it escape? Where is the dignity of our succubus clan!"

If given that opportunity, Annam would first use the high priest to control the clans.

"Don't speak to Lady Lilith like that!" Biros shouted, seemingly questioning him but actually trying to help him out of a tight spot.

The succubus queen glanced flippantly at her trusted subordinate and said, "Let it speak."

Annan ignored the six-armed serpent demon's hints, appearing completely loyal to the demon and the succubus queen: "The ratmen have blasphemed you, broken their promise, and killed three of our messengers. Why don't you punish them severely!"

“Olme is just right. The Sixth Legion is not your people, and you can do whatever you want when you're ruled by chaos,” Biros said, then fell silent as the Succubus Queen lazily raised her limp, boneless arm.

"Because we and the rat people, the rat people and us, cannot be close."

Annan watched as the Succubus Queen rose from her throne, each step feeling like a blow to his heart, drawing out his breath.

"So as long as we don't betray our agreements, and as long as humanity remains our greatest enemy, these little actions are rules that we all tacitly agree to."

"Do you really think the McKenne clan is unaware of the Stunn clan's underhanded tactics?"

The Chaos faction has a different way of doing things than the Order faction.

Not only did the ratmen assassinate the demon messengers, but the demon messengers also assassinated the ratmen messengers—unless there was substantial evidence, neither could do anything to the other.

Annan was the first to bring back evidence, turning what was originally a draw into a situation where the demons had the upper hand—this was the reason why High Priest Stunn came.

“You did a good job bringing the succubus back and making the Stoan ratmen suffer in silence.”

The succubus queen stopped in front of Anan, her firm yet slender thighs filling his entire field of vision. Then, she lifted Anan's chin with her fingertips, causing him to look up, and exhaled a soft, intoxicating fragrance.

“Olme is just right, I should reward you.”
