Chapter 870: The Hero’s Solution

Chris said to Robb, “Stop fooling around, come hide behind the rock with us.”

Robb replied, “I’m really confident.”

“Forget it, if you want to give it a try, go ahead. If you embarrass yourself later, I won’t care,” Chris said to the priest in their team, “Keep an eye on this guy. If he gets charmed, quickly dispel it.”

The priest nodded.

The men took cover, leaving Suofa, Xuelu, and the fire magician from the Skylark Strike outside, along with the two priests.

Chris hid behind a nearby rock and expressed his concern to Gorda, “I’m really worried that the young priest in your team might be controlled by the succubus and end up attacking us. That would be a disaster.”

Gorda chuckled, “No need to worry about that. He’s strong, much stronger than us.”

Chris thought to himself, [What’s the use of being much stronger than you guys? Can you use that as reference?] However, he refrained from saying that out loud. They were all part of the same guild, so he wanted to save face for Gorda.

The priest from the Skylark Strike took out a water pouch, poured some cold water on the succubus’s face, and then slapped it twice on the face. The succubus slowly woke up and upon seeing a group of humans in front of it, it was momentarily surprised. However, its intelligence wasn’t low. In this situation, it didn’t immediately resist. After a moment of hesitation, it blinked at the priest, and a peach-colored magical energy flew out from its body, forming a heart shape in midair and flying towards the priest.

The heart-shaped magic collided with the priest’s face. The priest’s eyes immediately reddened slightly, but being a high-ranking priest, the redness vanished from his eyes in an instant, replaced by clarity. He was completely unaffected by the charm.

The succubus was a bit surprised. It had intended to charm this man and make him attack the nearby women, giving it a chance to escape. But it hadn’t expected that this man wouldn’t fall for it. It seemed he was quite resolute in spirit, not easily becoming its captive through charm.

Its gaze quickly shifted, and it locked onto Robb. This person looked quite young, just in his early twenties, with golden hair and a handsome face. Such men were often the easiest targets for charm magic.

It blinked at Robb and sent another pink heart flying towards him…

In that moment, Chris, hiding behind the rock, was nervous. He was afraid this guy might get controlled and start causing trouble, attracting other monsters. That would require more effort. However, he quickly realized he was mistaken.

The heart-shaped magic hit Robb’s face and instantly shattered, turning into a myriad of pink magical light particles that vanished without a trace. Robb’s eyes didn’t even turn slightly red, almost completely unaffected.

He actually sarcastically addressed the succubus, saying, “Wow! You want me to fall in love with you? It’s not that easy. I have so many good girls around me. If I were to fall in love, it wouldn’t be with you. You should be careful not to fall in love with me instead.”

Succubus: “…”

Chris: “…”

His behavior greatly surprised Chris and his group. They thought, [Strange! This guy who looks so susceptible to charm magic didn’t fall for it, and his demeanor remained unchanged. It’s quite strange. Could it really be, as he said, that he’s surrounded by too many good women, so he’s not interested in the succubus? That’s impossible. Charm magic is a type of magic. Having a beloved woman wouldn’t make it resistable.]

However, regardless of the circumstances, Robb clearly resisted the charm magic. There’s no denying that. So Chris and his group could only admit their inability and their perception of Robb slightly improved.

Seeing that both men couldn’t be controlled, the succubus knew escape was hopeless. It looked at the humans before it with fearful eyes.

The priest raised his staff and lightly tapped the succubus’s forehead. “Is there a path to the Demon King City through this rift? Tell us how to get there, and we’ll spare you. Otherwise, we’ll bash your skull in right now.”

The succubus was visibly frightened, but it stubbornly remained silent, maintaining a straight face. “I won’t tell you. The passage through this rift is complex, filled with dungeons. You might not even find the Demon King City after months of searching. You’ll keep risking your lives here, constantly battling the demons, and eventually perish from exhaustion.”

“Before we die, we’ll kill you first.” The priest said coldly, “Don’t be fooled by the fact that I’m a priest. I don’t hold back.”

The succubus retorted, “Don’t be fooled by the fact that I’m a demon either. I won’t betray the Demon King.”

Before it could finish speaking, the priest’s staff landed on its abdomen with a loud thud, sounding quite painful. The succubus’s body curled up like a cooked shrimp, clearly in agony.

“Wow,” Robb shook his head beside them and sighed, “Even though it’s a monster, it still has a humanoid form. Beating it up like this seems excessively cruel.”

The priest turned around, shrugged, and said, “I don’t want to do this either.”

After a while, the succubus gradually recovered from its curled-up state, indicating that it had endured significant pain. It panted heavily and said, “Even if you kill me, I won’t talk. The demons aren’t so easily bullied…”

The priest raised his staff, preparing to strike again.

Suddenly, Robb reached out and held his arm, saying, “Buddy, using torture to extract information is really low. Can’t we obtain information in a way more befitting of righteous heroes?”

The priest asked, “A righteous method? What method?”

The female magician beside him chimed in with a smile, “Is the righteous method referring to burning someone alive? Only the Church of Light considers burning enemies as justice. I’m quite clear that the feeling of being burned alive is awful.” She lifted her hand and conjured a fireball, which continued to rotate in her palm, giving it a somewhat intimidating appearance.

Placing the fireball in front of the succubus’s eyes, she laughed, “If you don’t talk, I’ll stuff this thing down your throat.”

The succubus was startled but still stubbornly shook its head, saying, “Go ahead and kill me.”

“Wow, we’ve come across a demon who understands sacrifice and righteousness,” Robb said, “Truly admirable. Following the path of a true hero, we should release her for the sake of justice.”

Chris’s team exchanged looks, their expressions reflecting disbelief.

Robb turned to the priest and said, “Alright, I was just kidding earlier. By the hero’s way, I mean a heroic figure with a strong charismatic personality that even enemy women can’t resist falling in love with, and then they help him.”

He patted the priest’s shoulder, “Brother, I think you’re handsome. Don’t be so fierce, be gentle. If you’re lucky, this succubus might fall for you, and then she might spill information.”
