Chapter 253 Succubus Landis 1
Azeroth is a vast continent filled with magic and fantasy adventures. On this continent, there live races such as humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, demons, and dragons. Royal power and divine power are intertwined, and mystery and adventures are ever-present.
Of all these, the Misty Forest, far removed from human realms, is the most dangerous. It is home to the continent's most infamous necromancers, greedy dragons, and mysterious, treacherous demons; it is the abyss of hell that even the most powerful heroes could not cross in the bard's tales.
In this "hell," all races are also divided into different classes.
The surface of the Misty Forest is home to various races, despite their terrifying reputations elsewhere. Here, they are the lowest of the low; the demons living underground are at the top of the food chain.
Yes, the demons live underground, specifically in the Demon Abyss.
The Abyss is divided into three parts. The outermost layer is inhabited by schemers who occasionally appear and stir up trouble on the continent. The middle layer is home to the "masterminds" from the bards' stories. But in reality, the most central Abyss, a vast territory, is where the progenitors of the demon race live. The four most ancient and powerful Chaos Demons, who can rival the gods, live in slumber. However, because the outside world is too boring, they are all asleep.
The demon race is infamous, but it is also internally divided. A race that values strength above all else, the demons always act with their fists before their minds; whoever is strongest is the boss.
But the succubus race is an exception.
Succubi are extremely attractive, possessing beautiful faces, sexy figures, and mesmerizing eyes, easily drawing the attention of other creatures and making them the most beautiful members of the demon race.
However, most succubi only possess the alluring abilities inherited from their bloodline and a certain amount of mental control magic. Unlike night demons who can manipulate shadows and dark forces, or ice demons and fire demons who have the ability to manipulate natural elements, they cannot even defeat stone demons, which are purely powered by external forces. They can be said to be the weakest among the demon race.
However, the succubus race is not the worst off in the Abyss. Thanks to their unique characteristics, they can be said to thrive in the Abyss.
The succubi in the succubus tribe have gone to two extremes: some are extremely "love-obsessed," while others are absolutely "career-obsessed."
Succubi, with their "love-obsessed" nature, are constantly immersed in love, finding their destined one (demon, beast, elf, etc.) is easier than drinking water for them. When they meet their beloved, they are unwaveringly loyal. However, a succubus's true love comes and goes quickly, and they spend their entire lives in a cycle of searching for true love, being with true love, and searching for the next true love.
No race can resist the succubus's advances and heartfelt affection. After all, when a succubus is in love, she truly gives her all, but unfortunately, few can truly and completely win her heart.
Encountering a succubus often leads to many more heartbroken people in the world.
In reality, succubi feed on emotions, and affection is their favorite, most nourishing, and sweetest food. Therefore, their perception of love is very pronounced, and once the "sweet treat" they've fallen for fades, even if only slightly, they will seek out other, more delicious treats.
How many people can guarantee they'll fall completely in love with a succubus, unaffected by anything else? So when their love fades, even unconsciously, even if it's just a slight hint, a succubus sensing the "dessert" might spoil will choose to give up.
As for the "career-oriented" succubi, they scoff at the behavior of the "love-obsessed" succubi. Their lifelong goal is to elevate the status of the succubus race, and they even have the ambition to control the Demon Abyss.
In their eyes, most of the demons in the Demon Abyss are brainless and only know how to use violence. They prefer to stir up trouble rather than fight.
To this end, they can use everything—beauty, figure, and intellect—including other demons around them, to climb the ranks. As a result, the intelligence teams surrounding almost all the demons in the Demon Abyss are basically composed of succubi.
Compared to so-called love and delicious snacks, "career-obsessed" succubi only care about power. For this, they are willing to be omnivorous succubi, enjoying emotions such as greed, desire, anger, and jealousy.
Therefore, succubi refer to themselves as "vegetarians" and "omnivores." Landis, however, is an outlier among the succubi, falling somewhere between the two.
Landis is a chaotic succubus who emerged from the Abyss, born at the beginning of the world. Unlike his four brothers who were born at the same time, he is exceptionally lazy and dislikes fighting. He always hides in a corner to watch the show, and occasionally, when he gets interested, he will come out to stir things up, ensuring that the war between gods and demons is even more intense.
Because of his existence, the war between gods and demons, which should have ended long ago, remained deadlocked. The Chaos Demons, who were supposed to be suppressed in the Abyss and suffer heavy losses as per the script, eventually got bored and retreated to sleep. However, this also transformed what was originally a small area of the Abyss into a huge settlement for demons, giving rise to many more different demon races.
As for Landis, the mastermind behind it all, after waking up, he leisurely strolled out, disguised himself as an ordinary succubus, and mingled with the succubus clan to slack off.
Because of his outstanding appearance and obvious love for beautiful women, delicious food and beautiful scenery, the "vegetarians" always regarded him as one of their own; and because he would occasionally get into the mood and give advice to succubi on how to usurp power, the "omnivores" regarded him as a fellow traveler and close friend.
The two factions were locked in a bitter dispute over the ownership of Landis, each believing that Landis's refusal to fully join them was the work of another faction. They then tried various methods to win over Landis while simultaneously discrediting the other side.
"Landis, Damian asked me to convey his gratitude for your help. He has now successfully taken control of the Blood Demon Clan in the Western Regions and is currently preparing to incite the Atari to annex the Blood Demon Clan in the Eastern Regions."
Dressed in a low-key yet luxurious outfit, Lucius sat beside Landis, exuding a noble air with a hint of wickedness.
"You're too kind. I was just saying a few words casually."
Unlike Lucius, who sat upright, Landis lay on a rocking chair, casually holding a gilded wine jug, exuding a languid air that suggested he was neither drunk nor asleep.
“No, your two sentences were crucial, helping Damian dispel the fog in his mind. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have seized power in the Blood Demon Clan so quickly,” Lucius said, his eyes filled with excitement as he gazed at Landis’s exceptionally alluring profile. “Landis, you were born for power. If you join us, our Succubus Clan will one day fulfill the wish of the Chaos Ancestor, and unifying the Demon Realm will no longer be just a dream…”
Lan, former progenitor of chaos, now a lazy little succubus, Tiss: ...
When did he ever have ambitions to unify the Demon Realm? How come he didn't know? He's asleep, not dead. Don't throw all sorts of accusations at him. He's really not that diligent. Who would care if he unified the Demon Realm?
"Landis, Landis, the Night Demons have captured a new group of humans. They're said to be quite good-looking. I'll take you to see them..."
A blonde, blue-eyed, voluptuous beauty walked in excitedly, but her face fell the moment she saw Lucius. "Lucius, what are you doing here again?"
“I should be asking you,” Lucius said with a stern face. “Linas, where do you plan to take Landis this time?”
"Of course I'm going to see the beauties. Lucius, mind your own business. Landis isn't one of yours." Linas rolled her eyes speechlessly, but still exuded charm.
"You ignorant fool, who can be called a beauty in front of Landis? You are completely wasting Landis's time."
"Tsk," Linas was speechless. Lucius was indeed telling the truth. No one could match Landis's charm, but, "That's different. You, whose brain is flooded with intrigue, don't know anything about fun."
The two started arguing again, and Landis, who had been intending to watch the show, suddenly felt a surge of interest in the humans that Linas had mentioned.
"Humans...?"
