Chapter 870: The Hero’s Solution
Chris said to Robb, Stop fooling around, come hide behind the rock with us.
Robb replied, Im really confident.
Forget it, if you want to give it a try, go ahead. If you embarrass yourself later, I wont care, Chris said to the priest in their team, Keep an eye on this guy. If he gets charmed, quickly dispel it.
The priest nodded.
The men took cover, leaving Suofa, Xuelu, and the fire magician from the Skylark Strike outside, along with the two priests.
Chris hid behind a nearby rock and expressed his concern to Gorda, Im really worried that the young priest in your team might be controlled by the succubus and end up attacking us. That would be a disaster.
Gorda chuckled, No need to worry about that. Hes strong, much stronger than us.
Chris thought to himself, [Whats the use of being much stronger than you guys? Can you use that as reference?] However, he refrained from saying that out loud. They were all part of the same guild, so he wanted to save face for Gorda.
The priest from the Skylark Strike took out a water pouch, poured some cold water on the succubuss face, and then slapped it twice on the face. The succubus slowly woke up and upon seeing a group of humans in front of it, it was momentarily surprised. However, its intelligence wasnt low. In this situation, it didnt immediately resist. After a moment of hesitation, it blinked at the priest, and a peach-colored magical energy flew out from its body, forming a heart shape in midair and flying towards the priest.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
The heart-shaped magic collided with the priests face. The priests eyes immediately reddened slightly, but being a high-ranking priest, the redness vanished from his eyes in an instant, replaced by clarity. He was completely unaffected by the charm.
The succubus was a bit surprised. It had intended to charm this man and make him attack the nearby women, giving it a chance to escape. But it hadnt expected that this man wouldnt fall for it. It seemed he was quite resolute in spirit, not easily becoming its captive through charm.
Its gaze quickly shifted, and it locked onto Robb. This person looked quite young, just in his early twenties, with golden hair and a handsome face. Such men were often the easiest targets for charm magic.
It blinked at Robb and sent another pink heart flying towards him
Wow, Robb shook his head beside them and sighed, Even though its a monster, it still has a humanoid form. Beating it up like this seems excessively cruel.
The priest turned around, shrugged, and said, I dont want to do this either.
After a while, the succubus gradually recovered from its curled-up state, indicating that it had endured significant pain. It panted heavily and said, Even if you kill me, I wont talk. The demons arent so easily bullied
The priest raised his staff, preparing to strike again.
Suddenly, Robb reached out and held his arm, saying, Buddy, using torture to extract information is really low. Cant we obtain information in a way more befitting of righteous heroes?
The priest asked, A righteous method? What method?
The female magician beside him chimed in with a smile, Is the righteous method referring to burning someone alive? Only the Church of Light considers burning enemies as justice. Im quite clear that the feeling of being burned alive is awful. She lifted her hand and conjured a fireball, which continued to rotate in her palm, giving it a somewhat intimidating appearance.
Placing the fireball in front of the succubuss eyes, she laughed, If you dont talk, Ill stuff this thing down your throat.
The succubus was startled but still stubbornly shook its head, saying, Go ahead and kill me.
Wow, weve come across a demon who understands sacrifice and righteousness, Robb said, Truly admirable. Following the path of a true hero, we should release her for the sake of justice.
Chriss team exchanged looks, their expressions reflecting disbelief.
Robb turned to the priest and said, Alright, I was just kidding earlier. By the heros way, I mean a heroic figure with a strong charismatic personality that even enemy women cant resist falling in love with, and then they help him.
He patted the priests shoulder, Brother, I think youre handsome. Dont be so fierce, be gentle. If youre lucky, this succubus might fall for you, and then she might spill information.
