Chapter 85: Defeat Her In The Area She Is Skilled At!
One undercover agent is not enough for Loria to eliminate Hidden Leader, but it does allow her to handle Creek Town's crisis more calmly.
Therefore, she is now full of anticipation, trying to understand Vita's true thoughts in various ways.
Unfortunately, the "game" she is playing is not an RPG game, but a text simulation game.
Even if she is in a hurry, she can only wait quietly for the simulator to generate new content.
[The members of the task force split into two teams, one team went to check Vita's injuries, and the other team went to confirm the tree spirit's condition. After discovering that the tree spirit was already dead, the adventurers vented their frustration by each taking a swing at it with their weapons.]
[You struggled to reach Vita's side and found that although Vita was injured, they wouldn't die right away. You breathed a sigh of relief, but it was quickly followed by confusion.]
Can you not be confused?
[Together, you transported Vita to the hospital. During this process, news of the tree spirit's defeat spread throughout Creek Town, and everyone became excited. People spontaneously organized a celebration.]
[This is a victory of people power, and cheers echoed through the hospital walls.]
[After nightfall, you asked Vita why she wanted to save you, even though your relationship was not that close yet.]
[Vita said she admired you, she admired your determination and how you kept going despite being exhausted. She said your willpower scared her.]
"..."
Loria had nothing to say.
She wanted to say that she was different from normal people, that the more tired she felt, the more exhilarated she became, wondering what Vita would think about it.
And during the battle, she constantly absorbed the strength of other monsters.
If you were to talk about being tired, she probably wasn't tired at all.
She could even surpass a succubus in comparison, after all, a succubus could extract many things but couldn't convert the extracted strength into her own like she could.
[Vita said she envied you, guildmaster always cared about you, the neighbors always looked after you, and the adventurers in Creek Town rallied around you. It was an experience she had never had before.]
[You still didn't understand why Vita wanted to save you, so you asked again.]
[Vita said the situation was urgent, and she didn't think too much and just rushed up. Now, the fact that everyone is still alive is a good thing.]
[You left the hospital and went home with guildmaster. On the way, you discussed this matter but reached no conclusion.]
[Day 5: In the morning, you participated in the adventurers' celebration event. To prepare for the upcoming wave of monsters, you and guildmaster borrowed the Magic Crystal Mine from the association warehouse and secretly brought it to Doris to eat.]
[In the afternoon, you went to work as usual. After work, you visited Vita. By the time you left the hospital, it was already getting late. While passing through an alley, someone stopped you—]
[ That was a stranger, whose face you couldn't see clearly!]
Loria immediately became alert.
She had been attacked by a stranger from the Hidden Leader before during a simulation.
Sneaking up from behind with Doris's help, she easily defeated that stranger.
This time, she didn't have Doris by her side. She could only rely on herself.
But, times have changed!
Back then, she was weak and her body was too soft. But now, she had just defeated the tree spirit.
The opportunity for revenge was right in front of her. She couldn't stop now.
[The stranger woman didn't immediately attack. She whispered, saying that Vita saving you during the crisis was a betrayal of the organization's rules. Such behavior should not be allowed, so she wants to kill you!]
"Huh? Wait!"
Loria stood still.
You said that betraying Vita is a betrayal, then go kill Vita! Why did you come to kill me? I haven't betrayed the Hidden Leader.
If you want to say that I seduced Vita like last time, that's one thing. But this time, I haven't done anything.
The strange woman in the simulator couldn't hear what she said.
After talking nonstop for a while, the strange woman boldly launched an attack.
The battle began.
Loria realized she had underestimated this unfamiliar woman.
She is very strong.
She might even be stronger than Vita!
This is her true feeling in the simulation.
"How did Vita manage to drive her away last time?"
[To face her attack, you can only rely on your strong body to withstand it, but as time passes, you have more and more wounds, and your strength starts to rapidly diminish, which limits your movements.]
[You tried to sneak attack a stranger with an Energy Vampire, but the stranger's fighting style was too unpredictable. She kept using hidden weapons to attack, and you noticed that your wounds were becoming numb. The weapons seemed to be poisoned.]
"Oh no, I'm completely restrained."
Loria had a headache.
Yes, her fighting style had a major flaw -
Fear of long-range attacks!
She couldn't absorb energy from a distance.
Whether it was magic, archery, or hidden weapon attacks, when facing these kinds of assaults, because she couldn't physically touch her opponent, the Energy Vampire skill became useless.
[Under the stranger's relentless attacks, you grew more and more exhausted, nearing death. Luckily, the commotion caught the attention of others, and the stranger didn't kill you directly. Instead, she changed her mind temporarily and captured you.]
[You were locked in a pitch-black basement. The stranger said she didn't plan on letting you die so easily. She wanted to torture you, the woman who had led Vita astray!]
"？？？"
What nonsense.
Loria got angry straight away, are you slandering me?
Damn it, if she had known she would be treated this unreasonably, she should have brainwashed Vita first!
At least this way she still felt great.
Annoying.
Loria is regretting now.
In this simulation, she hasn't even had any initial experience yet, it's a complete waste.
Under the torture of a stranger, she appeared extremely excited, as if she really enjoyed the torment.
"I'm not, I didn't, stop making things up!"
[The unfamiliar woman didn't listen to your explanation at all, and she became completely angry. She whipped you while calling you a fox spirit, saying you seduced Vita.]
"Oh no, could this woman have some intentions towards Vita? She keeps scolding Vita, but actually both times she targeted me."
Loria quickly realized that this woman had gone crazy. She actually made moves towards her body, saying she wanted to defile her severely and make her feel pain.
...
She suspected that this woman was jealous of her beauty, her figure, and her calmness!
[You shouted loudly that you would never surrender, but after just a few minutes, you forgot what you said. You completely fell into excitement, and the unfamiliar woman mocked you disdainfully.]
"..."
[She felt that mere tools were not enough to make you experience cruelty, so she decided to do it herself.]
"Wait, you want to do it yourself?"
Wow!
Loria realized an opportunity came up.
Before, she couldn't defeat the unfamiliar woman because she was being manipulated.
But now, isn't this situation in her area of expertise?
I can't beat you in a fight, but if I can't defeat you in my strongest area with my extensive experience, then I might as well end it all!
[The unfamiliar woman continued to insult you, but soon realized something was off. Even though you seemed weak, as if all your strength had drained away, she wasn't doing well herself.]
[By the time she realized how bad it was, it was too late. You, filled with adrenaline, fought even harder and managed to break free from her control. You turned the tables and successfully subdued her.]
[From that moment on, the unfamiliar woman was no match for you, despite her stubbornness and claims that you would never make her surrender. In her head, there was only Vita, but you, with your wealth of experience in talking back, knew she was just resisting out of weakness.]
"？！"
"Who is being stubborn?"
[In the end, with your strong attacks, the unfamiliar woman was successfully brainwashed by you. She admitted she had been foolish in the past for idolizing Vita. Now she realizes that you are the master she should serve.]
[You seize the opportunity to ask her about Hidden Leader's plan. She says she doesn't know why Hidden Leader wanted to capture Doris, but she and Vita are responsible for communication. The news of Vita saving you hasn't been officially reported yet, but they should find out soon.]
[After answering your questions, the unfamiliar woman asks for a reward. You generously grant her wish.]
"I must say, I am truly a new generation master of brainwashing. Hmm... But I guess this should increase endurance, right?"
Loria feels eager with anticipation.
[When you leave the basement, you discover that the room outside is filled with human bones. The unfamiliar woman claims them as her spoils of war. You roughly count, there are at least a hundred different small finger bones.]
"！"
Loria felt like she had been drenched with cold water, and her fiery passion quickly cooled down.
They were executioners, the true essence of these people was that they were executioners. Not only were they executioners who wanted to kill her, but they were also executioners who were about to kill everyone in Creek Town.
"We must not show mercy to them!"
