Meanwhile, bottle after bottle of 'Disappearance Potion 2.0' was delivered into the Spider Forest.
The petty Spider Queen was being raided at her base, but strangely, she didn't react at all.
Li Aili, who was frantically stealing the enemy's crystal, was a little uneasy, always afraid that this evil god, known as the 'first madman in the history of gods,' was preparing a big move for her.
However, the truth is...
Inside the demon palace of a certain great lord of the abyss.
Rose, who had finished off a whole table of Dionysus's rare vintage wine, was licking her gleaming white teeth with her scarlet tongue.
Asmodeus, who had 'luckily fulfilled his mission' by getting Him drunk, silently clutched his collar.
At that moment, Asmodeus had only one thought in his mind:
Damn it, Arthur Holy Dragon!
...
“So, you…” Li Aili looked at her husband with a troubled expression, “you sent a Lord of the Abyss to…seduce him?”
The Shadow Demons diligently brought out plate after plate of food, placing it on the long table; it was an extremely lavish spread.
The blue-eyed duke calmly took a sip of the sea buckthorn juice beside him.
This unique fruit, which grows only in underground cities, is expensive and tastes terrible.
As if a special juice, like seawater washing over sand, slid down his throat, the Duke remained completely unmoved. "My dear," he said, "I think this is what you mean by 'reciprocity.'"
The opponent played a 'forced ally binding' card.
He responded with a "seduce your ally" card, a tit-for-tat exchange.
Li Aili: "..." Is this how you understand 'reciprocity'?
The Shadow Demon fawned over Li Aili, presenting her with the intelligence he had gathered.
Li Aili unfolded the parchment scroll, temporarily shifting her attention away from His Highness the Duke.
This caused a hint of dissatisfaction to surface in the Duke's blue eyes.
The Duke lowered his eyes to look at the unappetizing food on the table.
If you don't get it, you won't compare it to anything else; without comparison, you won't feel dissatisfied.
The Duke picked up the golden cup again and took a sip of the unpleasant-tasting sea buckthorn juice.
He swallowed his words expressionlessly. "When are we going back?" he asked.
Li Aili finished reading the parchment in her hand.
All of the above is good news.
The potion was successful, and the spider-like drow in the forest were freed from the negative effects of Rose's murmurs.
After regaining their senses, these terrifying monsters roaming the wasteland were filled with boundless hatred.
They were filled with mad hatred for the Drow matriarch who had brought them to this state.
With their combat power greatly enhanced, these little spiders, who were 'tethered' to the spider forest like livestock, were practically hating the drow matriarch in the city.
According to the message from Tracy, if it weren't for Simon's overwhelming power, this group of spider-like drow who had broken free from Rose's control would have already breached the gates of the drow capital.
In other words, Tracy's lover Simon became the true king of those spider-like drow.
"The plan here is all set. Once we leave Assange a backdoor, we can leave."
As she spoke, Li Aili took out a flyer that summoned demons.
Before using 'Devil's Didi', she made sure to thank the Abyss Lord in her heart for silently contributing so much to the plan.
At this moment, Asmodeus, who was fighting Rose in his own demon palace to defend his integrity, thought: Who the hell wants this kind of gratitude?!
The summoning circle on the flyer activated, and a devil with two dark circles under his eyes and a face like a corporate slave appeared in front of Li Aili.
The devilish corporate slave, with a mere flick of his lips, unleashes a rapid-fire rap—no, a string of hellish lyrics:
"Honorable VIP customer, Hell VIP Department No. 666, is at your service. I will meet any of your needs..."
Time was of the essence, so Li Aili had to interrupt the devil's 'chanting spell', "Time is tight, let's get straight to the point, my friend from hell."
"First, I'm entrusting you with your first order, to deliver us to another drow settlement called 'Quisan'."
"For the second order, you need to return here, conceal your tracks, and follow a male drow named 'Assange.' Wait for the right moment, then activate the teleportation array and take him to the surface capital of Clark."
The devilish corporate slave: "..."
The overworked office worker slowly looked around, and after confirming his surroundings again, he used all his professional skills to maintain a service smile and asked a question:
"...You know this is the Spider Temple, right?"
Li Aili understood the implication: this devil suspected that halfway through the second mission, he was dragged out by the Spider Queen Rose, turned into a meatball, and swallowed whole.
Li Aili looked at Arthur.
Arthur said calmly, "I can assure you that all you need to deal with are the drow here."
The devilish office worker looked at the male 'Drow' who was speaking with his red, dead fish eyes.
"Oh? What guarantee do you offer, esteemed guest?"
The alchemical potion's disguise was still working, and the Duke didn't mind releasing a trace of abyssal aura to prove the credibility of his words.
Sure enough, a trace of abyssal aura was released.
The devilish office worker was so scared he almost peed his pants.
The Spider Queen, the Drow, the Abyss Lord disguised as a Drow infiltrating the Spider Temple… These words, when mentioned together, caused the devil, who was well-versed in intrigue and treachery, to have his pupils tremble.
He desperately wants to contact his top boss immediately.
Does he, a lowly office worker on commission, deserve to participate in such a high-level game involving the infighting of two Abyss Lords?
The overworked office worker forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, "Is...is there anything else?"
Li Aili nodded. "And finally, here is a human woman named Tracy, and her husband, a spider-like drow named Simon."
