Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

The quest to find the tomb of the gods is still listed in the Adventurers' Guild.

"If you want to know, I can tell you, but you'll only have to pay a small price."

Upon hearing the price, Elena instantly lost the desire to listen further. She looked around and said, "You have a good eye. Help me pick out some ancient magical artifacts. I want to give them to my sister as gifts."

Elise sighed softly: "As an adventurer, don't you have even a little curiosity?"

"Yes, but I know very well that's definitely not a place I can go, and I don't want to work for free my whole life."

"Do I really look like a heartless employer?" Elise looked aggrieved. "I just wanted you to wear a dress and dance with me. You're making too many bad assumptions about me."

"Do you think I will believe what you say?"

As soon as she said it, Elena froze. She felt like she had said something similar before. Was it her in her previous life?

Just as Elena was in a daze, she suddenly felt Elise pull her hand, and a clear, melodious voice rang in her ear: "Come on, didn't you want to go find some bargains? I'll take you."

"Oh."

Realizing what was happening, Elena quickly followed in Iris's footsteps.

Although finding bargains on the black market is difficult, it was very easy for Elise. After showing them around, everyone had made quite a few gains.

However, there was no major loss like that seen with ancient artifacts.

After finishing her shopping, Elise didn't linger in the abandoned streets. Instead, she used the teleportation array beneath the old houses to return to the vicinity of the manor.

Upon returning to the manor, Elena and Wendy simultaneously revealed curious glances, wondering what effects the two ancient relics Elise had recently purchased would have.

Elise didn't keep anyone in suspense. She took out the demon horn from her spatial ring and then used it to pierce her own heart.

Volume 1: Chapter 106 Elise Will Attack in Succubus Form

"you……"

As soon as Elena uttered a single word, she saw thick black mist rising from Elise's heart.

The black mist instantly enveloped Elise, exuding an extremely evil aura.

After a few sounds like the beating of a heart, the black mist instantly dissipated, and Elise, who reappeared in front of Elena and Wendy, had changed her appearance.

Her already impressive figure became even more mature and alluring after the black mist dissipated. A pair of devilish wings spread out from her back, and a slender tail extended from her spine, swaying gently.

Elise also grew a pair of sharp horns on her head, giving her an evil yet eerie beauty.

Seeing Elena in this posture, a word involuntarily came to mind.

Succubus.

"So she really is a succubus?" Elise muttered after sensing the changes in her body.

Before using the demon horns, she had a premonition that her demonization would turn her into a succubus, and it turned out to be true.

The Evil Skirt and Demon Horn are used in the game Scar to transform into an evil demon. The type is random, and if you are lucky, you can randomly get a powerful being such as a fallen angel or an abyss demon.

Demonization only occurs randomly the first time; subsequent uses will only transform the user into the demon form randomly selected the first time.

For Elise, a succubus was not bad.

She felt that her succubus powers had greatly increased since she became a succubus. If she used this form to seduce Rumia, it might not take her so long.

In addition, the succubus Elise also possessed some extremely powerful fire magic, as well as some pleasure magic unique to succubi.

For example, planting some kind of strange mark on someone, or absorbing their vital energy through some kind of pleasurable behavior.

Although demonization has many uses, it cannot last for too long, because after transforming into a demon, the demon horns will begin to erode the user's soul and body.

Over time, the body will be completely transformed into a succubus, and the mind will also change to that of a succubus, or even be replaced by an unknown will.

Wait, something seems wrong!

Elena looked at Elise, whose brows were slightly furrowed, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's just a little strange."

After transforming into a succubus, she didn't feel any erosion of her soul or body, as if using demon horns to transform into a succubus had no effect on her at all.

Somewhat strangely, Elise, just to be on the safe side, directly deactivated her succubus form.

As the black mist surged, Elise returned to her usual appearance, and the demon horns appeared in her hand.

While Elise was checking her own status, she discovered that a new derivative skill, "Transform into a Succubus," had appeared in the "Mark of the Goddess of Pleasure" skill series.

Even Elise was taken aback upon seeing this, as such a situation had never occurred in the game. She had died and been resurrected countless times and used the demon horns numerous times, yet nothing like this had ever happened.

Is this only the case when one becomes a favorite of the goddess of pleasure?

Elise put away her demon horns and once again used her succubus form ability. Elise reappeared in her succubus form, and she could use all her abilities normally in that form.

This delighted Elise, because demonization and angelization are actually quite similar. Both can greatly increase the user's physical attributes and grant them unique powers. If she could maintain the demonized state for a long time without paying a price, it would definitely be a good thing for Elise.

"So, the power of this demon horn is to transform people into demons?"

“Yes, but the user must have a strong will, otherwise they will only become a mindless demon. Do you want to give it a try?” Elise handed the demon horns to Elena.

"You're really confident in my willpower." Elena didn't refuse, and after taking the devil horns, she silently looked at Elise.

"Just stab it straight into the heart."

Upon hearing this, Elena did not hesitate and plunged her demon horn into her own heart. Just like Elise had done, with a surge of black mist, the demonized Elena appeared before Elise.

With wings as black as ink and a black halo hovering above its head, this is a fallen angel.

Elena, now a fallen angel, frowned slightly. Although she could feel immense power in this form, she also felt the corrosive influence of the fallen power. It was as if a voice was telling her to remain in this state.

However, Elena had an extremely strong will and completely ignored the voice. After experiencing the power and various abilities in this form, she directly deactivated her fallen angel form.

"how do you feel?"

"It's very strong, but I estimate my safe time is around fifteen minutes."

"That's already very strong."

Elena then gave the devil horn to Wendy, but surprisingly, Wendy didn't react much after plunging the devil horn into her heart.

Somewhat strangely, Wendy pulled out the devil horn and repeatedly inserted it several times, even pulling out the heart along with it.

Even without a heart, Wendy didn't seem to have any particular reaction, and even wanted to hit herself a few more times.

"Wait, you don't need to try anymore. I think it's related to your insectoid constitution." Elise quickly stopped Wendy, who wanted to continue.

Based on her understanding of this relic, it could be a matter of physical constitution or an excessively high rank, preventing the demon horns from affecting it. However, this item could be used even at the ninth rank, so it shouldn't be a matter of an excessively high rank. Therefore, it must be a matter of physical constitution.

"Oh." A hint of disappointment flashed in Wendy's eyes. She was still looking forward to seeing what kind of demon she could become when she turned into a demon.

With a soft sigh, Wendy stuffed her tattered heart back into the gaping hole in her chest. The flesh around the wound began to writhe, and in the blink of an eye, her body was repaired.

Most seventh-tier beings would be close to death if they lost their hearts, even if they didn't die. But for Wendy, as an insectoid, losing her heart didn't have much of an impact on her, which made Elise a little envious.

"The effect of the angelic halo isn't quite the same as that of the demon horns, is it?"

"That's right, the Angel Ring's effect is to angelize, but it can't be used right now. It requires the prayers of the believers of the Eternal God and the infusion of faith power before it can be used."

Elise happened to have a saintess from the Church of the Eternal God by her side, so using the Angel Ring was not difficult for her.

Demon horns and angel rings cannot be used simultaneously, but Elise can now demonize herself through the Pleasure Brand. What would happen if she used the angel rings after becoming demonized?

She began to look forward to it.

Volume 1: Chapter 107 Even if you die ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough

"You can keep these devil horns for now."

When Elena tried to return the demon horns to her, Elise refused, since she could now transform into a succubus without the horns.

"This is a keepsake; you need to think it through."

"I've thought it through. Anyway, you're my bodyguard. If you're more capable, I'll be safer, right?"

Even though Elise usually makes her do free work all the time, she's being incredibly generous like a heartless employer at times like this.

After hesitating for a moment, Elena decided to accept it anyway, intending to see if her other self would also possess the ability to become demonic.

She has now figured it out: to defeat her other self, she not only needs time, but also needs to master some powers that her other self did not possess.

But she always felt that her other self had the ability to become demonic, but she had never acquired it, so she never showed it.

She carefully put away the demon horns. Luckily, she had a spatial ring now, otherwise she wouldn't feel at ease carrying them around. If she accidentally lost them, she might have to work for Elise for nothing for the rest of her life.

Wait a minute, could it be that this wicked woman Elise is thinking of losing her devil horns so she can make me work for her for free for the rest of my life?

Noticing that Elena's gaze was a little strange, Elise asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Elena shook her head, feeling that she had overestimated Elise's cunning.

But the next moment, Elise's voice rang out: "This is just a loan to you, so you'd better keep it safe. If you accidentally lose it, you can prepare to work for me for free for the rest of your life."

"I knew it." Elena rolled her eyes, but didn't return the item to Elise.

"Alright, let's go shopping on Golden Street next. I also need to buy some things for Wendy."

Hearing Elise's words, Wendy tilted her head. Just when she thought Elise was going to buy her some pretty clothes, Elise continued, "After the Spark Festival, you'll have to prepare to go to the kingdom to recruit the goddess's followers."

Wendy felt a pang of reluctance at Elise's words. She tugged at Elise's sleeve, and although she didn't say anything, her reluctance to leave was clear.

Wendy's reluctance to part with Elise also made her feel a little strange. As the chosen one of the Earth Goddess, shouldn't Wendy's first priority be spreading the word?

Even if she was reluctant, she shouldn't have shown it. Could it be that in order to experience strong emotional fluctuations, she was unable to resist the influence of the pleasure imprint on her, thus developing a strong dependence on herself?

After much thought, it seemed that this was the only possibility for Elise.

She said earnestly, "I know you definitely don't want to leave me, but it is your mission to spread the word to the goddess. Besides, I didn't ask you to keep spreading the word there. You can train your own people and have them spread the word for you."

"Do you remember the Principality of Claire that I told you about?"

Wendy nodded.

“That place is about to suffer a famine, which is a good time for you to spread your faith. If you manage it properly, you can completely change the mainstream belief there to the Earth Goddess. Once you can take over that place, things will be much easier for you.”

"Oh."

Wendy nodded somewhat disappointedly. Shopping, which used to be such a fun activity, had suddenly lost its appeal to her.

……

Deep in the abandoned streets.

The nimble-looking Yi Ling skillfully weaved between various buildings, but at this moment, he looked extremely disheveled. His clothes were tattered, his body was covered in wounds, and even his faceless mask had many cracks.

He had been relentlessly pursued by the 'maid' for several days, and had barely had time to rest.

The other party knew his true identity and address perfectly. A few days ago, when he was resting at home, he was directly stabbed to death by the maid. That was when he was most relaxed, and because of that, he almost had his head pierced.

Fortunately, his mask had the effect of taking someone else's place, which allowed him to escape death.

Although he didn't know how his true identity had been exposed, he immediately teleported to a safe house.

This was a place where no one could possibly know, but not long after, he was assassinated by the maid again, and the mask's substitute saved his life once more.

Since that incident, he knew that the maid seemed to have some way of tracking his presence, and even after he moved to another safe house, he remained vigilant at all times.

Even so, the other party still came knocking on our door.

Although he didn't die this time, he was seriously injured, and his mask was only left for one last time to be used as a substitute for someone else.

However, it will be soon; his spatial teleportation will cool down completely, at which point he will be able to… 30°C.

Just as the Faceless Man was thinking about where he would be teleported to this time, he suddenly sensed a deadly threat. At the exit of the alley ahead, there were several silken threads formed by shadows, as thin as hair.

If he hadn't reacted in time and had rushed over (to the third point), then the last bit of his equipment's substitution and sacrifice would have been used up.

He once killed a target with an extremely strong sense of danger, and his dagger successfully absorbed the target's ability. If it weren't for this ability constantly providing him with warnings, he probably would have been killed by the maid long ago.

But this delay allowed a figure to emerge from the shadows behind them.

She was petite and dressed in a black and white maid outfit. If it weren't for the shadow covering her face, the Faceless Man would never have associated her with the maid who was chasing him.

The faceless man gripped his dagger tightly, his tone somewhat exasperated: "Why are you so determined to kill me? We have no grudge against each other, have we?"

"No, there are."

In the past few days, the more Misha chased after the Faceless Man, the clearer the vague memories in her mind became. She saw the Faceless Man killing Miss again and again in front of her.

Each time, I could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything about it.

Besides these memories, she also recalled killing the Faceless Man, time and time again, tearing him apart, dismembering him, and scattering his bones to ashes...

But even so, Michael still felt it wasn't enough!
