Magic: My equipment slots have no restrictions

"There's good news and bad news... well, I'll just say it straight."

Victor closed the door.

The candlelight on the wall beside him shone on his face, flickering uncertainly.

"The forces searching for us are not limited to the Blood Moon Cult; there is another unknown force led by sorcerers."

Victor said, glancing at the closed door, "Marlene was a decoy; she was already marked when I attacked her."

"..."

Elena frowned slightly, sensing a vague unease.

I thought it was bad enough that I had just left the Chamber of Commerce and stumbled into the territory of the Blood Moon Church, but I didn’t expect there to be another force behind it.

Moreover, the person who was marked was not himself, but Mr. Victor?

Will they come looking for us?

The girl realized as soon as she asked the question that it was meaningless.

Since those people were able to arrange for Marlene in advance and precisely trap Hill, they must have already made preparations for pursuit.

"Um."

Victor nodded, then shook his head: "It's not that there's no solution."

Meeting the girl's expectant gaze, he calmly spoke:

"The first solution is for me to leave first and lure them elsewhere."

"No!"

The blonde girl immediately objected: "You're not allowed to go!"

As she spoke, she stepped forward, her golden eyes glaring as if a lion were hiding within.

Viktor could feel the girl's breath and knew she was really angry. He was a little surprised and couldn't think of anything to say for a moment.

The blonde girl belatedly realized her rudeness, slowly turning her head away, her voice gentle:

"I just don't want anything to happen to you, no... I mean..."

She wanted to explain a little, but for some reason, what she said was ambiguous, yet it was exactly what she felt in her heart.

Since returning home from that corrupt land, she would always dream of Victor whenever she fell asleep, but when she woke up and found that he was not there, she would feel empty inside.

So when she heard Viktor say those words, she felt a pang of sadness.

"Instead of having you distract them, we might as well take the burden together; perhaps that will give us a better chance of winning."

After thinking for a long time, she managed to squeeze out this sentence.

Upon seeing this, Victor immediately laughed:

"You're the employer, I'll listen to you."

Then, he reached out and patted the girl's shoulder: "Next time, you can wait for me to finish speaking first."

The girl blushed immediately. "Then...then tell me quickly."

The whispers, as faint as mosquitoes, amused Viktor, but since it wasn't the right time to joke, he suppressed his laughter.

"There's another method related to Marlene. I've already implemented half of it, as for the follow-up..."

For some reason, when she heard Marlene's name, Elena felt a sudden sense of urgency and quickly asked:

"What is it?"

......

Fifteen minutes ago, inside the room.

The magic whip struck Marlene's back for what seemed like the umpteenth time, and her skin, disguised as human, had long since revealed its true red color.

Viktor, his face cold, lashed out with his whip once more, as if by machine.

This time, Marlene showed a somewhat broken expression after being whipped, and let out a painful cry.

Viktor knew,

The time is ripe for negotiations.

Marlene,

"How do you feel?"

Marlene remained lying on the ground in an odd position for a moment before responding.

"So, do you want to continue experiencing it? I mean, every week?"

Upon hearing this, Marlene turned her head with difficulty to look at Victor.

At this moment, Marlene seemed to still be immersed in her previous state, but the questions she asked were incredibly rational.

"As long as you sign a contract with me."

As he said this, he felt a little strange, as if he were saying something against his conscience.

But seeing the gleam in Marlene's eyes, he suddenly felt it was all worth it and forced a playful smile.

At that moment, Marlene felt her heart beating a little fast.

Especially when you see the boy's carefree smile.

As a succubus, she relied on pleasing the strong to gain a living space, and satisfied her desires by manipulating her prey.

But in all these decades, she had never been treated like this by a human boy.

No, it should be said that the other party understands my needs.

Thinking this, she began to utter words that were unlikely to pass censorship.

"My condition is that you sign a master-servant contract. If you agree, I can give you a little more time to relax."

Viktor felt the words around him were a bit harsh, his brow twitched slightly, but he still suppressed his discomfort and explained.

After she finished speaking, Marlene nodded repeatedly, her tail swaying slightly behind her, looking rather alluring.

"It's so oppressive."

Viktor remained expressionless, continuing with his work while secretly plotting how to obtain Marlene's real name.

Succubi are no different from demons; both are inherently cunning. If they are forcibly driven without means of suppression, they will only suffer a backlash.

His real name was the only two things he could use to restrain Marlene and make her hesitate to act against him.

As the interrogation continued in the room, time ticked by, and Viktor felt his arms growing increasingly weak.

But just as he was about to switch hands, Marlene suddenly let out a high-pitched scream, then collapsed completely and stopped moving.

"Dead?"

Viktor was taken aback, but then sensed something new appearing in his mind.

That was a name:

"...Sertia Denasha."

......

That's how it is.

Victor made some cuts to the flogging process, trying to change Marlene's enjoyment into pain.

Elena's face paled as she heard what had happened:

"So, Marlene was tortured to the point of despair by the whipping, and thus agreed to sign a contract with Mr. Victor."

The girl, who had initially been somewhat repulsed by succubi, now felt a pang of pity as she thought of the blood-soaked scene inside the room.

"If I make a mistake and Mr. Victor catches me, could you be gentle? I'm afraid of pain."

"?"

Viktor was completely baffled, wondering what the girl meant by that, but he didn't want to respond.

He waved his hand and continued, "Once I sign the contract with Marlene, the marking shouldn't be a big problem."

During the interrogation, Marlene confessed that her relationship with the new force was merely a cooperative one, and that she joined only because she was interested in the leader's potential.

It's equivalent to being an investor.

"Really? Can Marlene remove the mark?"

Elena's eyes lit up with joy, and she couldn't help but ask a question.

Even now, she still feels that if Victor hadn't accepted the commission, he wouldn't have been implicated and encountered so much trouble because of her.

"No, erasure is probably impossible."

Victor shook his head, then explained, "We just need her abilities."

The girl opened her mouth slightly, and suddenly realized.

Marlene is no pushover. Succubi who specialize in seduction are usually not good at melee combat, but her opponent has no such weakness.

In other words, Mr. Victor has brought a very useful super fighter to the team!
