Chapter 84: Is This the Charm of A Succubus?
Loria wants to accomplish something great.
In this simulation, she not only has to cut down the troublesome tree spirit, but also launch an attack on the Hidden Leader, and save Creek Town from them.
After that, if everything goes well, Loria also wants to simulate her life after running away from Creek Town.
Driving away the Hidden Leader is indeed an heroic act, but after doing such a thing, she definitely won't be able to stay in Creek Town anymore.
The people from the Hidden Leader shouldn't bother her in the short term.
After all, once their objective is exposed, they will have to initiate the rebellion ahead of time.
But as time went on, these extremely vengeful and heartless things wouldn't spare her.
Even if the people of the Hidden Leader were too busy to pay attention to her, she had to be careful of threats from Claren City.
"How can you guard against thieves every day?"
Loria decided to take the initiative and move from the bright to the dark.
When she had the power to kill those people, she would stage a triumphant return!
Actually, even without threats from outside, Miss Knight also planned to leave Creek Town and take a look.
As her strength grew, her desires swelled even more.
At first, she earned 100 coins a day, feeling happy and carefree.
But now, she thought that with her own abilities, she should be making thousands of Oder coins a day, right?
And this is not just about money.
Creek Town is too small, so the monster girls around Creek Town are also too weak.
In the past, just having a slime girl around would make her dizzy several times a day, even if she used her hands and feet and utilized every part of her body that could be used. She couldn't win in a battle against a slime girl.
But after dozens of rounds of training, let alone a slime girl, even a hundred wouldn't be enough for her to replenish herself.
There's no way around it, people always grow, you know.
The food intake during infancy and adulthood is definitely different.
In order to avoid starving, she had to move to another place.
Of course.
"When I say starving, I don't mean fulfilling bodily desires, I don't do those things at all."
Loria nodded seriously.
She was talking about finding a new training ground to improve her abilities when she mentioned eating.
Rush, rush, rush.
The simulator began running, and lines of text appeared before her eyes.
[Day 1: Prompted by you and guildmaster, the adventurers all started taking action. They formed teams on their own and began searching for the tree spirit's traces.]
[Day 2: Today, they didn't find any traces of the tree spirit.]
[Day 3: Still no signs of the tree spirit today.]
"Damn it, there are only 8 days until the monster tide. If we don't find that tree spirit soon, what's the point of playing?"
Loria started to worry, but luckily, good news came out right away.
[Day 4: In front of the power of the crowd, the cunning tree spirit was exposed. At 10 o'clock in the morning, rushing into the adventurers' association, someone informed everyone that the tree spirit's location had been successfully pinpointed. You and guildmaster immediately gather the elite adventurers, forming an elite team to prepare for an attack on the tree spirit.]
[The elite team had over ten members. You plan to have Doris disguise themselves and join the team to help reduce your stamina debuffs.]
[Just as you were preparing to take action, Vita suddenly approached you and volunteered to join the adventurer team. Everyone, except you and the guildmaster, welcomed her.]
Loria was surprised, "There's actually such a move?"
Vita's strength was demonstrated during the team's mission to eliminate the secret base of the circus underground. Therefore, adventurers who didn't know her identity would surely accept her. Who wouldn't want an additional high-level fighting force in the team?
Trouble's brewing.
As a member of the Hidden Leader, Vita surely didn't come with sincere intentions to eliminate the tree spirit.
With her strength, if she plays dirty even a little during battle, there's a possibility that she could let the tree spirit escape or even cause the team to suffer a painful defeat.
Truly, "heroes" should never be underestimated.
Compared to her body, she can easily crush ten Vitas if she tries hard enough.
But when it comes to her mind, even two of her together might not be a match for a single Vita.
Loria gritted her teeth, "Luckily, I went through a simulation first."
She had great endurance, so even if something unexpected happened while hunting down the tree spirit, her chances of survival were very high.
But what about the other adventurers?
They were a group of justice warriors filled with hope for a better life in Creek Town. They couldn't let them be tricked and killed so easily.
"I was planning on bringing more people to increase our chances of success, but now it seems like we should try to avoid bringing them along if we can."
Loria continued reading further.
[Because of the fear of the tree spirit escaping and Vita catching on to the fact that you and guildmaster already know the truth, you have no choice but to reluctantly accept Vita.]
[You gave up the idea of fighting with Doris and hurried along with the team to the location of the tree spirit.]
[The adventurers on the way cooperated fully and gave you directions. As you walked, you discussed the tactics for defeating the tree spirit. The enthusiastic atmosphere seemed to infect Vita, and she also participated and offered useful suggestions.]
[You successfully blocked the tree spirit, and the panicked tree spirit summoned a bunch of monsters to help in the battle, which suited you just fine.]
[The battle was very intense. With your reminder, everyone carefully avoided the spraying white liquid, but the tree spirit's super endurance still caused you a lot of trouble.]
[Thanks to you spinning in circles with the big sword among the monsters, Miss Plump Sheep's magic could be successfully cast.]
[From noon until afternoon, the tree spirit became more and more exhausted, and you were down to your last breath. The decisive moment was approaching.]
[Seizing the opportunity, you pulled out your ultimate move and charged forward, but to your surprise, you discovered that the tree spirit had a trick up its sleeve. It actually sprayed a large amount of frost mist that could consume stamina.]
[Everyone shouted for you to be careful, but you didn't retreat, instead, you moved forward.]
"A frost mist that consumes stamina, isn't this tree spirit digging its own grave?"
Loria widened her eyes.
With this move, she didn't need Doris anymore.
But something unexpected happened.
Just as she ran into the frosty mist in the simulation, guildmaster suddenly shouted.
"Be careful!"
Be careful not only of the tree spirit but also of the suddenly moving Vita!
The guildmaster stood up too, but it was too late because Vita had much more strength left than she had imagined.
Also, Vita was an agile assassin.
Miss Assassin was a step ahead, rushing into the frosty mist directly.
"Finished."
Loria felt really angry.
Just as it seemed like they were about to defeat the tree spirit without anyone getting hurt, a Vita appeared.
How annoying, how annoying, how annoying.
Shouldn't she show her true skills before that and weaken Vita so that she couldn't interfere at all?
That's not possible, right?
Even if there's no Vita, does the Hidden Leader have any other way to stop them?
Loria tapped the virtual screen of the simulator twice with force, and finally, new simulation content appeared.
["Vita pushed you aside, taking on the tree spirit's ambush alone. The vine pierced through her shoulder blade, and she was thrown away by the tree spirit. Her blood made the orange-red sky illuminated by the sunset even more vivid."]
[Before Vita landed, you stood up from the ground and quickly ran towards the mist, swinging a big sword to split the body of the tree spirit in half.]
[ The tree spirit fell down, and so did Vita.]
After coming back to their senses from the fierce battle, both Loria and guildmaster in the simulation were confused, and so was the real Loria.
No one expected things to develop in this direction.
This happened too suddenly.
The ability to draw strength was one of Loria's biggest secrets, and she had never told anyone about it.
Therefore, Vita could never have known that at that moment, she was not dangerous at all, but rather safer than ever before.
From this reasoning, the reason Vita rushed up and pushed her away was not for anything else, but to save her!
"Why?"
Loria couldn't understand.
She didn't have much interaction with Vita. Although they fought together against Mayor Chapman and discussed the past, it wasn't enough to make Vita risk his life to save her, right?
Or was Vita completely captivated by her, willing to give up his own life for her?
It's not that extreme, right?
She is a human, not a succubus, and even if she were a succubus, she wouldn't have that kind of ability.
"There must be some secret that I don't know. If I can figure it out, maybe I can persuade Vita to join my side."
Loria became excited.
If she could really arrange an undercover agent in the Hidden Leader, things would be much easier!
