Sterl felt completely immersed in a dreamlike sensation of euphoria.
However...
With the enhancement of the Holy Spirit Bloodline and the Solidification Method, the joy that was supposed to drive mortals into madness had a different effect on him:
[After undergoing one mental check, your mental attribute increases permanently by one.]
[After undergoing one special check, your physical attribute increases permanently by one.]
[After undergoing...]
...
Sterl stared at the notifications, feeling somewhat numb. The intimacy with Licitris was akin to a drug from his past life, possessing a powerful addictive quality!
Sterl was certain that the Succubus Queen had no intention of harming him, but he relied on his two abilities to barely maintain his composure.
One word could describe Licitris's passive charm: terrifying!
But at this moment, Sterl's abilities were even more exaggerated! The strange power of the lower realm that could enchant all beings had no effect on him whatsoever.
His two abilities were as follows:
One was the Solidification Method, which was the greatest counter to Succubi. Though it was only Iridescent-Level, it shouldn't even exist in this world; it was only completed through his point allocation ability.
The other was the Holy Spirit Bloodline, a trait inherently found in the upper realms! Something that also shouldn't appear in the lower realm!
Only when the two were combined could they block Licitris's powers! This just goes to show how absurdly powerful the Succubus Queen truly was.
Sterl was convinced that if it weren't for him, the deities of the main world would also fall victim to Licitris's charms. Of course, this condition was somewhat exaggerated; the deities wouldn't risk their sanity for a moment of pleasure.
"What's wrong? Not continuing?"
After finishing a second round of their encounter, Sterl noticed that the Succubus Queen had stopped her movements and was secretly observing him.
Sterl immediately realized it was another opportunity to strike!
He grabbed Licitris by the throat and slowly lifted her up.
Sure enough, such a rough action caused the Succubus Queen to tremble all over, filled with excitement.
Licitris was in a love-struck state, realizing that despite her best efforts, even as Mephistopheles, she couldn't seem to win him over.
Instantly, her affection for him skyrocketed, "It's nothing, Mephistopheles!"
"Come on!"
"Play with me! Ravage me!"
In ordinary circumstances, Licitris would have swiftly eliminated any uncontrollable charm, but now she was teetering on the brink of surrender, desperately seeking a suitable partner.
Seeing that Mephistopheles had passed her test time and again, combined with Sterl's persuasive words, Licitris's entire body softened, and she lost all remnants of her divine-level pride.
Like a submissive dog, she knelt partially and instinctively rubbed against Sterl's waist and abdomen.
Sterl felt a strange tingling sensation coursing through him, as Licitris's hair brushed against his skin, sending electric shivers down his spine.
So this is what it means to be a Succubus—her hair feels almost like an extension of her... femininity, he couldn't help but think.
Then, he lifted Licitris's legs, the speed of his movements causing the Succubus Queen to lay back almost instantly.
Though she guided the rhythm, she remained incredibly obedient to Sterl. She did her best to cooperate with him, fearing that she might make him uncomfortable.
Amidst this overwhelming pleasure, Sterl gradually became dazed. He was enjoying Licitris's service, until...
Suddenly, he snapped back to reality.
He quickly allocated points to the Holy Spirit Bloodline to restore its duration to 24 hours; otherwise, once the Blood of Contamination buff activated, he would be left counting down the days until his demise.
He had confirmed through his main account that once infected by the Blood of Contamination, upon death, he would be unable to use any abilities to preserve his life or resurrect himself.
After allocating the points, Sterl embraced Licitris once more, their bodies melding together.
...
It wasn't until Sterl hazily woke up three days later that he realized time had passed.
He found himself lying on an incredibly luxurious bed, with a strange silk-like material beneath him that felt extremely comfortable, accompanied by a faint fragrance.
The bed's edge was decorated with several ornaments that appeared to depict strikingly beautiful female figures, but he recognized them as a type of calming formation, one that could help restore mental and physical fatigue.
How thoughtful?
Had Licitris moved me here?
Sterl felt lazily contemplative.
His first reaction was to regret not being able to focus entirely on the pleasure, as he needed to constantly remember to allocate points to the Holy Spirit Bloodline. He hadn't fully enjoyed himself this time around.
Sterl considered one of his strengths to be his complete lack of desire for physical beauty.
However, faced with Licitris's attentive service, he found himself somewhat enchanted, ultimately succumbing to a state of blissful slumber.
If only...
He wished that once the danger of the Blood of Contamination had passed, he could enjoy a moment without worry.
Sterl sensed that Licitris was sitting nearby, using her Divine Power to suppress the Blood of Contamination as much as possible. However, it was still proving ineffective; she could only prevent the curse from manifesting physically.
The Succubus Queen's life was on a countdown.
When Licitris saw that Sterl had awakened, she quickly halted her efforts and returned to the bed, gently wrapping her arms around him.
It seemed she wanted him to feel her warmth and touch as soon as he opened his eyes.
This exceptionally tender and caring treatment was reminiscent of a lover, and Sterl found himself appreciating it.
He had to admit, Licitris, as a Succubus, truly knew how to please a man...
Unfortunately, under normal circumstances, Licitris would have been able to sense Sterl's psychic fluctuations before he woke up. However, with the enhancement of his Holy Spirit Bloodline, Sterl's perception and reaction abilities even surpassed those of the divine beings.
Licitris's expectations fell flat.
As Sterl feigned just waking up, he first furrowed his brows and said, "Move aside."
He adopted a cold demeanor, but then quickly shifted his tone.
"Very well, Licitris, you've pleased me."
In this push and pull, Licitris's affections, which had slightly warmed after their earlier intimacy, soared even higher.
After being suppressed, she was once again recognized and validated.
