Chapter 112 Succubus!

Louis acted immediately.

After briefly explaining his idea to Dina, he went to a corner to begin searching for the memories of the brain-eating monkey.

While using "Parasitism", Louis also took the time to test whether the "Ordinary Mask" could conceal his own demonic energy.

After repeated testing, Louis found it was feasible, as long as the amount of demonic energy in his body did not exceed 5 points.

This is good, otherwise, if they always avoid searching for enemy memories, it's easy for small rifts to develop over time.

A team that entrusts each other with their lives is like a close-knit family, and it needs to be carefully nurtured.

And indeed, Louis found what he wanted in the brain-eating monkey's memories.

He searched for a long time through the monkey's numerous memories of mating and eating, and finally found out what happened after it was affected by the demonic aura and merged into the demonic tide.

This brain-eating monkey hadn't been part of the demonic tide for long; just a few days after it entered, the demonic tide besieged Blackrock City.

As Louis expected, level 1 monsters were not unknown in the demon tide. For example, the brain-eating monkey was targeted by a demon and controlled by that demon, always following her.

Through the eyes of the brain-eating monkey, Louis clearly saw the appearance of the demon.

It was a female demon with a pair of goat hooves, long gray-white hair, and yellow horizontal pupils.

Besides these features, she looks almost exactly like a human, and her figure surpasses that of 99% of women.

Her thin clothing could not conceal her beauty, and this female demon's charm seemed to affect not only humans, but also other species, such as brain-eating monkeys, who were eager to possess her.

It seems that it is precisely through this alluring power that she is able to control so many level 1 monsters.

"This...this woman, could she be the legendary succubus?"

Louis's lips twitched slightly, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

While attending classes in the basement, he learned some information about common demon races from Mr. Colin.

These succubi are a very famous branch of the demon race, with both high lower and high limits. Some heroes have fallen under the allure of powerful succubi. They are a terrifying demon race that understands human nature.

In contrast, parasitic demons, which are non-humanoid demons, belong to a lower-class race among demons, with a low potential for advancement.

It must be said that the succubus in the brain-eating monkey's memory was extremely beautiful, with an innate allure.

Even through a layer of memory, it can ignite a person's desire.

Fortunately, Louis's willpower was still quite good; a demon is a demon, and good looks can't change that fact.

All he wants now is to kill this demon and obtain her attributes.

"This succubus must be the one responsible for infiltrating the underground passage of the northern city wall during the demonic tide."

"She controls no fewer than thirty level 1 monsters; with such control, her own combat strength is probably also at least level 1."

The cream of the crop.

"This is going to be tough."

Louis analyzed the intelligence he had gathered, his brow furrowed.

As for the succubus's hiding place, it was actually not far from sewage outlet No. 25, less than 500 meters from the entrance.

The reason she wasn't discovered by the city's guards was because she was hiding inside the belly of a thick-skinned, roaming frog-like monster. Only when dawn broke and the demonic tide receded would she crawl out of the giant frog's belly to rest.

Unfortunately, even succubi have a limited range of magic; if they are too far away, the effect will be greatly reduced.

With a large number of level 1 monsters guarding it and hiding inside a monster's body, taking down this succubus is no easy task.

However—the merit of slaying demons is truly tempting.

Just by killing this succubus, you could probably earn 5000 battle merits, which is equivalent to fifty gold coins.

But to accomplish this, Louis would have to reveal his true strength.

After much deliberation, Louis finally decided to play it safe.

"If the Blackrock City leadership handles the Frostclaw tribe quickly enough, I should be able to see the orcs by tomorrow night."

.

The image of Tiga appeared in Louis's mind.

If we could utilize the power of this orc hero unit, we should be able to easily take down a mere succubus.

Back with Dina, who had been waiting for him, Louis recounted his findings and thoughts.

Dai Na also agreed with this.

The operation against the succubus is definitely not going to happen tonight; let's wait until tomorrow night.

Back in Zone 25, things are as usual.

Louis tossed the body to Nora and, wielding his Mercury Shield, plunged into the battle.

As the new dawn broke, the corps officers tallied their battle achievements, and Louis's squad returned to the surface.

Having slain a level 1 monster, their haul for the night was incredibly rich, amounting to 9 gold and 80 silver.

After leaving 1 gold coin in team funds, each person received 2 gold coins and 20 silver coins.

However, Louis wasn't in a hurry to go to the Blackrock Legion to exchange for the bounty; there was something more important he had to do right now.

"Princess Erisil's squad is over there."

Dai Na pointed to the area at the foot of the city wall, more than 200 meters away.

It was easy to spot because there were many civilians gathered there, and the only people who could be surrounded by so many people were probably the Hero Squad.

Louis nodded, removed his bird-beak mask, and led his teammates over.

After weaving through the crowd, Louis found Princess Erisil and her two companions surrounded inside.

The latter naturally noticed the arrival of Louis's team.

"Louis, have you finished your mission too?"

Viscount Alwin greeted him like an old friend, his warm smile giving one a feeling of being caressed by a spring breeze.

Louis did not answer, but said to himself, "Hero, Princess Anredo, and Viscount Alwin, I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh? Go ahead and tell me."

""

Erisil's calm gaze settled on Louis, and as if she could see the seriousness in his expression, her own expression became slightly more serious as well.

Louis coldly asked, "What exactly did our team do wrong to warrant hiring a level one, four-star assassin to kill us?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Anreido, who was hiding behind her sister with her head down, suddenly raised her head and looked at Louis in surprise.

Alwin's smile froze.

Not only them, but even the ordinary people surrounding the hero team were in an uproar after hearing Louis's words.

Even though Louis was clearly a powerful professional, the public began to criticize him openly and subtly.

It's fortunate he's a professional, otherwise he would have been pelted with rotten eggs by now.

Defaming a hero's reputation is one thing if it's not weighed, but if it is, it's a serious crime.

Only Erisil's expression remained unchanged; she simply asked curiously, "Captain Louis, why do you say that?"

Louis didn't speak, he just looked at Nora.

The necromancer was clearly reluctant, but she still obediently opened her magic pocket and took out the sack containing Ruan's corpse.

She opened the sack and dumped the contents out.

A corpse with its skull clearly split open and then sewn back up appeared before the public.
