Chapter 134: Cunning Succubus!
Doris has an extraordinary ability to perceive danger.
Before Loria even spoke, she sneaked directly behind her and curled up into a ball.
Don't look at that unfamiliar little girl, she may look similar in age to her, but the aura she emits is even scarier than that big, tall, and round golden-haired big sister.
If it weren't for Loria still standing ahead of her, she would have turned and run away already.
In the past twenty days or so, Loria has given her a lot of delicious food and helped her get rid of those annoying pursuers. She can't imagine abandoning Loria and running away alone.
Even though she is trembling now.
"Although I can't defeat a C-level adventurer, if I just delay them a bit, it should be fine."
Loria is not arrogant.
The main reason she thinks like this is that the basement she is in is only a few meters away from the ground.
Just making a little noise would attract the attention of people outside, and how long would it take for them to come?
"Ten seconds, half a minute? If it were me, I wouldn't even need a second using Kitty's Pace."
With this thought in mind, Loria wasn't as scared anymore.
If she couldn't hold on for even half a minute, she might as well surrender early and join the regular parties held by the followers of the Church of Goddess of Madness and Indulgence.
Hmph.
What's wrong with being a C-level?
Don't get too cocky, kid. I'll call a bunch of people to Leo you later!
Loria gripped the sword with both hands, took a deep breath, and focused her attention on the unfamiliar little girl.
In fact, it was difficult for her to say that the girl in front of her was a real little girl.
In this world full of various strange powers, judging people by their appearance is the easiest way to fall into a deep pit.
Mischievous little girls who are good at acting cute could very well be wicked and cunning old witches with big chests, while elderly gentle grandmothers might actually be enchanting seductive women.
Some time ago, the newspaper in Creek Town reported a shocking news, saying that a wicked witch intentionally transformed into a girl to seduce those perverted gentlemen who enjoy heavy industries.
Those perverted gentlemen thought they had found suitable prey, but they didn't expect the prey to be themselves.
In the end, it was a nun from the Goddess Church who discovered the abnormality and exposed the wicked witch, leading to her execution.
After dying countless times in simulations, Loria is now on high alert and doesn't dare underestimate any opponent.
At this moment, she sees not a little girl, but a witch full of magical power.
"Come on, you wicked witch, face me head-on!"
Loria gestured with the large sword in her hand.
The blade of the sword is as wide as her two arms, and it seems that with just a swing, she could pierce the stomach of the little girl in front of her.
But to her surprise, the little girl didn't launch an attack in response to her provocation.
She said in a childlike voice, "We don't have to be opponents, we have no hatred between us. On the contrary, we have a strong foundation for cooperation."
"Hmm?"
Loria was slightly taken aback.
She wasn't surprised by the little girl's words, but rather by the fact that the girl willingly helped her buy more time.
What kind of activity is this?
She was almost catching up with herself who was performing acts of charity in the simulator.
However, something was off.
Just like a succubus would never give up on seduction, Loria didn't believe that a follower of the Church of Goddess of Madness and Indulgence would kindly discuss cooperation with her.
Besides, what kind of cooperation could they have between them?
Cooperative pornography?
Loria doesn't do heavy industry.
Besides, she doesn't need to learn how to do pornography from anyone.
If she really wants to understand this, she just needs to open the simulation and start her pornography life directly.
"There's nothing between us..."
Before Loria could say a word, she was interrupted by the little girl.
"What you are doing now is equivalent to completely breaking ties with us. Your strength is indeed strong, but not strong enough to surpass us. This is just a stronghold. Destroying this stronghold can indeed harm us, but it is far from completely destroying us."
Tsk.
So what?
Loria pouted.
Will they be spared by the Church of Goddess of Madness and Indulgence if they don'thing?
The little girl continued, "Do you care about anyone?"
Loria couldn't be bothered with her.
But the little girl continued on her own, "There must be someone you care about. Perhaps you're not afraid of our revenge yourself, but what about the people you care about? Can you watch them perish right before your eyes?"
Loria frowned, "Are you threatening me?"
She suddenly felt annoyed.
She had been talking for over a minute now, why hadn't the reinforcements arrived yet?
The little girl said, "I'm just stating facts, and these facts are quite harsh. But if you're willing to cooperate with me, we can avoid all of this."
"..."
"Why do you think I am here, deliberately hiding? I don't have the need to rely on my strength. I was imprisoned by them. They locked me up and falsely claimed that I was dead, taking away everything from me!"
As the little girl spoke, her emotions began to escalate. She clenched her fists and a deep purple aura emerged from her, sending shivers down the spine.
"I am one of the founders of the Church of Goddess of Madness and Indulgence. Before being imprisoned here, I was the vessel of communication with the goddess. I gave everything, even my body stopped growing, but they treated me this way. Blasphemers, they are a group without any limits!"
Sharp cries echoed in the basement.
Loria hesitated to speak.
She couldn't say it. She believed that the followers of the Church of Goddess of Madness and Indulgence should have no face to talk about moral limits.
The little girl said, "If you cooperate with me and help me reclaim everything that belongs to me, I can forgive your disrespectful actions towards the goddess today. As long as you are willing, I can even arrange a high position for you in the church, giving you wealth, status, and unimaginable power."
Loria snorted, "Do you think I would believe your nonsense?"
The little girl said, "If I spend time deceiving you now, it will only put myself in a worse situation. I think you should understand this. If I really had any hostility towards you, I would have attacked you the moment I saw you."
This is true, but Loria still remained cautious.
It seemed very strange to her that someone who looked like a little girl would say such reasonable things.
This feeling of strangeness made her want to leave the basement as soon as possible.
"For you, this is quite a fancy deal, you know? The Church of Goddess of Madness and Indulgence used to be different. Our pursuit of madness and indulgence meant not suppressing our own nature, freely enjoying sexual pleasure. But after those people took over, they deliberately distorted the will of the goddess, turning the decay of the flesh into a perverted desire for the body and distorting gentle caresses into biting."
The little girl clenched her teeth, her dissatisfaction overflowing.
"When I regain control of the church, I will definitely correct this distorted doctrine. The body is the foundation of our pursuit of happiness. If the body is destroyed, what will we have left to pursue happiness?"
Loria nodded in agreement.
That's why she never looked at toys that could exceed her limit of endurance.
Although she can feel happiness from pain, she still prefers pure happiness.
"So, would you like to work with me? It should be easy to choose between a Church of Goddess of Madness and Indulgence, which poses a huge threat to you, and something that doesn't pose any threat."
Loria turned around and, somehow, Coleridge and the others still hadn't arrived.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the little girl continued to add more pressure.
"Besides what I just said, the only thing I can give you is myself. If you don't mind, I can give you one day to play with me however you want."
She intentionally stuck out her tongue and licked her rosy lips.
The seemingly ten-year-old appearance also revealed a strange sense of maturity.
Crawl, crawl, crawl.
Loria quickly shook her head.
She really couldn't adapt to this situation, it was just too strange.
Seeing Doris hiding behind her and trembling, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
It turned out that this cute little girl in her fifties was still attractive.
"Do you want to work together?"
Loria regained her composure.
She realized that now was not the time to confront this strange little girl.
"How do you want to work together?"
The little girl said, "Even though I've been missing for several years, I believe I still have influence, and there are people in the church who support me. If you can take me to the church headquarters and help me temporarily stop those who want to harm me, I can gather a large number of companions to surround and kill those people."
Loria said, "I can't make this decision on my own, I need to discuss it with others."
The little girl nodded, "I need help from all of you. It would be the best if you can convince them."
Loria protected Doris as they slowly backed away. They retreated all the way outside the basement without encountering anything unusual.
She breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
It seemed highly unlikely that the little girl was lying.
She immediately found Coleridge and the others who were attacking the remaining few believers, and shared her experience in the basement with them.
After dealing with matters on the ground, everyone together went to the basement and had another conversation with the little girl.
It has to be said, the little girl's proposal was very tempting.
During the process of capturing the manor, they realized that there was a lack of a person with real authority among these followers.
This means that the Church of Goddess of Madness and Indulgence still retains a large number of living forces elsewhere.
Now they have become mortal enemies with this cult and naturally want to find ways to completely eliminate its threat, in order to avoid future fear and worry.
"You will get the results you want."
The little girl bowed deeply.
When she got closer, Loria discovered that her feet were entangled in chains, and the pointed end of the chain had pierced into the soles of her feet.
Her hands were not in good shape either. Although there seemed to be no problem on the surface, there were nails sticking out from both wrists, as well as a purple heart-shaped nail piercing deep into her abdomen.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
The little girl smiled and said, "As a follower of the goddess, I am most skilled at enduring pain."
Loria released her.
The group decided to strike the cult today instead of waiting for another day, and thoroughly defeat it in one go.
Before treating the little girl, Loria first found Coleridge.
"Mr. Coleridge, I have something to ask for your advice."
Before long, she came back with the prepared treatment potion.
"Applying it on the wound can help it recover faster."
Loria handed the medicine to the little girl, who eagerly accepted it.
Once her foot had recovered somewhat, they set off on a journey to another stronghold of the Church of the Goddess of Madness and Indulgence.
This could be considered a short trip.
It only took a few minutes for Loria and her group to arrive near the new target location.
"Even if the Treasury Secretary wants to help, they probably won't come all the way here, so now there's only one thing left for me to worry about."
Loria turned to look at the little girl lying next to her.
"Are you ready? Once we start, it will be your turn to go on stage."
The little girl nodded, "I am ready for revenge. No one who caused me to fall like this will get away with it!"
"That's good."
Loria, crouching behind a mound of dirt, took out a large sword and stared intently at a standing cave across from her.
It's almost time.
She stood up and waved for Doris to follow.
After taking a few steps forward, a dark purple ball of light suddenly burst out from behind and struck Loria's waist with force.
"Loria!"
Doris screamed as she watched Loria fly out, falling to the ground like a broken kite.
On the other side, a little girl watched this scene with a wicked smile on her face.
"I told you there would be consequences, this is what happens when you trust me!"
In her hand, a small bell appeared.
Ding-ding, ding-ding.
She gently shook it, and an invisible wind began to blow around her.
But instead of blowing away the fallen leaves, the wind lifted Loria, who had fallen to the ground.
The girl rubbed her throbbing chest from the impact, blood stains visible on her pale face. "That was close, so close."
"Are you okay?"
The little girl's face changed dramatically.
Loria chuckled and said, "I almost died. Just to be safe, I went specifically to Coleridge to get some magic-restricting medicine to add to the healing potion. I didn't expect that even after using this faulty potion, you could still unleash such a frightful power. Cough, cough..."
She started coughing violently.
She intentionally showed a flaw to test the little girl, with her blood-locking ability giving her the confidence. This test revealed a problem.
The little girl's adorable face turned angry and then displayed a horrifying expression of terror.
"Do you think you can survive like this? You've already been seriously injured, and all that awaits you is death!"
In a low roar, the wounds on the little girl's hands and feet, which had been impaled, underwent a peculiar change. Red flesh sprouted rapidly, growing into thorny whips around her body in the blink of an eye.
Her abdomen twisted and grew a small "mouth," directly connected to her uterus.
Truly the most wicked and evil cult!
Loria clenched her teeth gently.
But is a serious injury really serious for her?
I have the skill of Healing Through Breathing!
Loria's lips twitched slightly as she had already designed a plan that would be difficult to fail, based on her special constitution.
Now let me show you my masterpiece of intelligence.
"Doris, block her! Her magic is limited, she can't beat you now!"
Doris immediately lunged towards the little girl.
Loria held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, restoring her health.
