Chapter 433: Chapter 358 Tijana’s Strength Chapter 433: Chapter 358 Tijana’s Strength Three huge Ice Demons followed closely from the breach in the ice wall, unwilling to give up the prey they almost captured, only to find that their companion who emerged before them had been slain. The Succubus Lord was now fully armed and looking down on them with murderous intent, as if the roles of hunter and hunted had reversed.

If they were facing a High Rank Spellcaster and could not resolve the battle instantly, once the target regained its ability to cast spells, the assassins’ doomsday would come.

These Demons evidently realized this as well. One of the Ice Demons closed a tome emitting a strong wicked aura, and Lancelot’s Spirit Perception immediately sensed the disappearance of the Anti-Magic Field, while another Ice Demon quickly threw a handful of black powder on the ground, which instantly created a Portal rimmed with flames, seemingly preparing to flee.

“Thinking of leaving now? Too late!!” Tijana’s angry voice came from above, “Paralyze!”

Lancelot didn’t see Tijana make any spellcasting motions, but several dark yellow Magic Auras spontaneously appeared, instantly enveloping the enemy’s bodies. The Ice Demons’ carapaces emitted an icy blue glow as if to resist the Succubus’ magic, but Lancelot’s Spirit Perception suddenly felt a tidal surge of Magic Power around them, and the dark yellow light flared up, paralyzing all three Ice Demons in place.

Like a swooping eagle, Tijana then viciously lashed out with her Whip, which was so imbued with Holy Power that it was like a red-hot Branding Iron, shattering the Ice Demon’s Carapace as if it was made of nothing more robust than pottery.

Lancelot couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, having just experienced firsthand the hardness of the Ice Demons’ carapaces. While his Great Sword was made of cold iron and didn’t have the advantage it had against ordinary Fiends during the attack, the power of the Qingyun Sword Beam was without any discount, and his strength after Foundation Establishment was on par with a Middle Rank Demon. However, he still struggled against the carapace of the Ice Demons and ended up relying on the Dwarf’s assistance, striking directly at the unprotected head of the enemy to kill it.

Under the lashes of the Succubus Lord, the carapaces cracked as if they were merely made of paper. How much of this was due to Tijana’s own strength and how much due to the Holy Power attached to the whip itself?

After almost killing one Ice Demon, the Succubus Lord freed one hand and reached out into the air towards the Demon, pulling a vague shadow from the Ice Demon’s body and directly condensed it into a purple crystal, the Soul Prism that Lancelot had seen with Matriarch Zoel, now clenched in the hands of the Succubus Lord.

“Now you are mine!” Tijana said through gritted teeth to the crystal, “We will have a lot of fun times, I assure you!”

The remaining two Demons watched despairingly as all this unfolded, but in their paralyzed state, they couldn’t do anything. The Succubus Lord once again raised her Whip, viciously striking another Ice Demon, until, when she stopped, the Demon looked like a beetle that had been trampled by a Giant.

Tijana cast another spell, extracting the Essence of the Demon and condensing it into another purple crystalline prism.

When Tijana was about to make her move on the last Ice Demon, the great door was suddenly smashed open. The six-armed Serpent Demon Sonam led a dozen Demon Guards, shouting and clamoring to capture the assassins.

“The party’s over,” said Tijana displeasedly as she looked at her subordinates, while surreptitiously stowing away her Whip, “You are too late.”

“I apologize, my Mistress!” The Serpent Demon’s voice was shrill with Fear, like a mouse whose tail had been pinched. She turned and sliced a Berserk Demon following her into half with her sword, “It’s this idiot’s fault! It was standing right at the entrance of the hall but knew nothing of what was happening inside…”
“Enough, Sonam. My maids will be very busy taking care of the aftermath, don’t give them extra work,” the Succubus Lord pressed her hands on the last Ice Demon’s head, a purple glow shining from her hands, “If even the Berserk Demon standing at the door could notice something was amiss, then these assassins are truly incompetent.”

“Are you injured?” Seeing that Tijana bore no grudge, the voice of the Serpent Demon finally lost its tension. She looked at Tijana greedily as the latter extracted the essence from the Demon, her tongue-like sliver of a tongue involuntarily licking her lips, “Give it to me, I guarantee I’ll show these disgusting pests what real pain is!”

“Hurt me? They’re not capable of that.” Tijana spoke without a change of expression or a skipped heartbeat, but Lancelot felt that the Succubus Lord very subtly shot him a glare, “I will personally interrogate these ones, and once I get the information I want, if they haven’t completely dissipated by then, perhaps I can let you have your fun…”
“Thank you, my master!” Sonam bowed respectfully, “I’ll go notify… wait, who’s that over there?”

The Serpent Demon turned her head toward where Lancelot and his companions stood quietly next to a Succubus Maid who was slowly melting away.

“Pleased to see you again, Miss Sonam.” Lancelot waved at the Serpent Demon, “We’ve just completed a lengthy mission and happened upon this assassination upon teleporting back…”
“They lent a small hand just now.” The Succubus Lord said nonchalantly, pointing at the corpse of the Ice Demon still hanging on the ice wall, “That one was killed by these people, it got off too easy…”
“Ah, it’s you all.” The Serpent Demon looked at the Human Knights as if deep in thought, “What a coincidence, isn’t it?”

“We’re very lucky, this Ice Demon had used up all of its spell abilities.” Lancelot bowed humbly to the Serpent Demon, “Actually, this should also be considered one of Lady Tijana’s victories.”

“Hmph, even so, killing an Ice Demon is no simple feat.” Sonam’s eyes narrowed slightly, filled with a threatening intent, “Perhaps I underestimated you before…”
“Well, Miss… Lady Sonam, the bill for those six longswords hasn’t been settled yet.” Suddenly, Bruto spoke up, drawing everyone’s gaze to him, but the Dwarf seemed completely oblivious to their stares, “The total is 15,000 Gold Coins, of which 3,900 Gold Coins have already been deducted…”
“…” After a brief silence, the Serpent Demon finally spoke, “It doesn’t matter, you won’t live to see the day the bill is paid in full…”
“You might be underestimating Sir Lancelot there.” Tijana’s face broke into a playful smile, “Keep the accounts straight, Sonam. Given the kind-hearted knight’s penchant for saving people, it likely won’t be long before your debt is paid off. Just don’t forget to keep taxing him afterward…”
“Actually, we’re only five now.” Lancelot spread his hands, “Clone Well and Koula have left.”

“Oh? They died?” Tijana looked at Lancelot with some surprise, “From what I’ve heard, it seemed like you completed the mission quite well…”
“They just ‘left’.” Lancelot shook his head, “They went through a Portal to the Wild Expanse.”

“Oh? Is that so…” Tijana nodded, her voice becoming inexplicably cheerful, “It seems a lot has happened on your journey. Go back first, I still have some… aftermath to deal with here. I’ll come find you later.”
