Chapter 104: If They Didn't Know Any Better, They Might Think I Was a Succubus Who Tempted Them
Although it is unclear why, Adeline didn't like Vita as soon as they met.
Because of this, she secretly observed Vita during two battles, wanting to figure out her true strength.
Adeline thought she had almost figured it out.
As they started to fight, she realized that she had underestimated Vita.
"How can this woman be so fast?"
Even Adeline, who had experienced various complex trials at the officer school, couldn't accurately pinpoint Vita's location.
She could only predict Vita's movements based on the bright traces left behind by the spikes in her hand.
Thanks to her agile swordsmanship and versatile techniques, although she couldn't see Vita's exact position, she always managed to place her sword in the path that Vita must pass through when attacking.
It's said that a little can go a long way.
Even if Vita had the power of "new life," she would never gamble her own injuries against Adeline.
It's highly likely that Vita only managed to poke Adeline once, while Adeline's sword had already landed several hits on her.
Because she didn't truly believe in the Goddess of Madness and Indulgence, the ability she gained to regenerate severed limbs had significant flaws. Restoring her shattered body would drain a considerable amount of her stamina.
For a nimble assassin who wasn't very strong, once they were exhausted in battle, they couldn't continue fighting.
Therefore, Vita could only keep grinding with Adeline, relying on her agile movements to slowly wear her down.
It would be impossible for her to quickly impale Adeline with spikes, and prolonging the battle would be disadvantageous for her.
But there was no other choice.
Since they had already become enemies, Vita could only find a way to kill Adeline, or at the very least, take Loria away with her.
Otherwise, if Adeline managed to escape, Loria might be brutally killed by her in a fit of rage.
Though Loria had great endurance, her small physique couldn't withstand the abuse from Adeline, who was much larger.
In their previous assassination missions, Vita had witnessed many horrifying scenes.
In the province of Hick, a mentally vacant old "gentleman" particularly enjoyed torturing helpless girls he had bought using glowing red iron rods.
Adeline seems normal on the surface, but who knows if she might secretly be like that as well?
Maybe she is the kind of person who enjoys using something that looks normal on one side and is as strong as a wolf's tooth baton to bully others.
Ding, ding, ding.
A series of fighting sounds seemed especially harsh in the silent dark night.
Loria was about to go crazy.
She had already shouted several times, but the two people present weren't listening to her and were still fighting fiercely.
On one side is the guildmaster, who she sees as a shortcut to becoming a lady, and on the other side is Vita, who just said she would abandon the darkness and help her fight the Hidden Leader. Both options have their consequences, and no matter which side she helps, it's likely to upset the other.
"Then what can I do?"
If the guildmaster and Vita are just arguing, she could directly join in or simply leave them both behind and go play with Miss Plump Sheep.
But now she didn't dare to take a single step away.
Loria was so angry.
She wished she had the "power" that was comparable to Liu Huangshu's, so she could forcefully separate the "Guan Zhang duo" who were currently fighting.
"Stop, if you keep fighting, someone will die!"
Loria took out a big sword, she looked left and right, becoming more and more speechless.
If someone didn't know, they would think she was a succubus, seducing both of them and causing a big fight between them.
If only Doris was here.
With no other choice, Loria could only temporarily seek help from the simulator, to see if the version of her in the simulation had any clever tricks.
If she remembered correctly, in the simulator, the guildmaster also met Vita, and their situation was even more intense than reality. At that time, the version of her in the simulation was holding a big stick while sitting on top of Vita.
In this situation, it wouldn't be fair if the guildmaster didn't fight with Vita.
Loria looked closely.
[The guildmaster stared at your exposed chest and after a moment, she suddenly said sorry for interrupting and told you to continue, as long as you didn't damage the bathroom. Then she slammed the door shut.]
"？？？"
Loria felt like she was going to vomit blood.
That's not true.
In reality, she didn't even touch Vita, but the guildmaster directly drew her sword and attacked. In the simulation, she even did something really "wild" like straddling Vita, which others would see as inappropriate. But the guildmaster just turned and left.
"Do I really have to do something with Vita for the guildmaster to be satisfied? That's ridiculous."
No matter how you look at it, she couldn't imagine that the guildmaster had this kind of specific preference.
Do you want to try and intentionally cause a problem, and then tell the guildmaster?
Forget it, forget it. The situation is urgent now, let's try again later.
Loria squatted down on the ground and said, "Ouch, it hurts!"
She started rubbing her ankles forcefully and made exaggerated cries, trying to get the guildmaster and Vita's attention.
She successfully caught their attention, but their reaction was completely different from what she had imagined.
Boom!
Fire shot out from their four eyes.
Adeline wanted to smash Vita's head into powder with a super big swing.
Loria was out of Adeline's sight for just over ten minutes, and Vita already managed to hurt Loria's foot. If it wasn't for Vita finding out that Loria didn't bring spare underwear and went to help her, Loria might have died at Vita's hands.
You darn rebel, take this!
Vita also wished to pierce Adeline with a thousand spikes.
No wonder Loria just fell in the bathtub, splashing orange juice all over her chest; it turns out her feet were already damaged by Adeline, who is a crazy person.
She had already imagined how Adeline would make Loria serve her with her own feet.
You damn beast, I'll give you a chilling jab!
So, from Loria's perspective, Adeline and Vita fought even more fiercely.
"Is there no one who truly cares about me? I've fallen and no one is coming to help me, how infuriating!"
Miss Knight had no choice but to use her final move - stirring up trouble!
"They're fighting, they're fighting, someone come quick!"
Her voice was very loud, in this dark night, it was like thunder.
Loria did the math.
When someone asked her later, she would say she shouted for help because she was worried.
An accident?
That's not possible!
The guildmaster and Vita had been arguing like this, so they couldn't just act like nothing happened and share experiences later, right?
The results of this move were surprisingly good.
After hearing her shout, people living nearby started poking their heads out. After confirming that the fight was happening at Guildmaster Adeline's house, many adventurers came together, trying to gain some favor.
Vita's face changed and changed.
She actually wanted to take this opportunity to join other adventurers and kill Adeline together.
However, Adeline has always been good at pretending. Will those adventurers believe her and Loria?
She thought it was difficult, and the result might turn into Adeline leading people to attack her and Loria.
This situation is extremely unfavorable for her because her background is not clean.
"Retreat!"
Vita looked deeply at Loria.
Today, many people came. Even if Adeline's courage is big, at most she would secretly insult Loria in front of others, making Loria unable to call out even if she wants to, and feeling aroused without daring to expose it, but it wouldn't escalate to direct punishment.
So she doesn't need to worry too much.
Loria, I'll come back to rescue you tomorrow!
Vita turned around and decided to ask Sylph for help when the time comes. With Sylph's help, it won't be difficult to kill Adeline.
However, she still needs to be careful of Adeline using Loria as a hostage.
"Don't even think about running!"
The guildmaster jumped over the tall wall and chased after them for about a hundred meters. But because she was worried that Loria might be attacked in the yard, she reluctantly let Vita go and turned back.
"Are you okay?"
The guildmaster hurriedly walked up to Loria. Without waiting for Loria to reply, she took off Loria's shoes and held her foot wrapped in red socks in her hand. After carefully examining it for a while and confirming that there was no serious injury, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, it was my fault this time. I let her get close to you. I'll be more careful from now on and try to avoid her directly contacting you."
Loria wanted to say something, but someone was already rushing over from outside. the guildmaster went over to explain the situation.
She felt a little guilty.
The guildmaster was indeed angry and didn't allow her to contact Vita anymore.
But Vita was ready to change sides, so she had to talk to the guildmaster and put everything clear. Forget about cheating and promiscuous behavior, the most important thing now was to unite all the forces to get rid of the Hidden Leader!
While the guildmaster was busy entertaining the adventurers who came running, Loria started looking at the simulator again.
She decided to practice first, so that she wouldn't say the wrong thing and be punished severely by the furious the guildmaster in the basement.
Right now she wasn't a succubus, but after the guildmaster's punishment, she might become one.
