Chapter 55 The Succubus's Motives
"So, how should we find the awakened succubus?" Zhong Mengfan asked.
I asked back, "What kind of person, or man, do you think would be her target?"
"Well, the Awakened Green Forest Elf said that after being treated like that, he can no longer use his powers. His energy was absorbed by the other party."
I nodded and said, "Go on."
"After that meeting, I learned a little about the Green Forest Elf. He's proficient in archery. Besides his ranged attacks, he's also quite capable in close combat, using daggers and short swords as his primary melee weapons. True to his hero nickname, he's awakened the powers of a legendary elf, and the bow and arrows he wields are no ordinary weapons. Overall, the Green Forest Elf is a very capable A-rank hero, so I imagine the Succubus's abilities should also be A-rank."
"You were comparing the Green Forest Elves' combat-minded state, but he described the scene when he saw that woman—she looked very weak.
The Green Forest Elf was caught completely off guard, so her strength should be C-level or close to B-level."
Zhong Mengfan pointed at himself and said, "Uh, that's about the same as mine. With our strength, we can defeat an A-level hero with rich combat experience."
"Of course it's impossible."
"Don't deny it so quickly~ I have also been training myself according to your requirements!" Zhong Mengfan clenched his fists, revealing the muscles on his arms that had become much stronger in recent times.
Then he said, "Although I also think that with her current combat power, it is unlikely that she can defeat an A-class hero, but why do you think she can do it?"
"Because you are a young man with well-developed muscles, your physique and strength will never be overlooked. That woman is the one whose true ability has been underestimated."
"Yeah." Zhong Mengfan nodded.
"Furthermore, I suspect that woman's ability has a counteractive effect on the Green Forest Elves, or perhaps the Green Forest Elves possess certain characteristics that allow her to unleash her abilities. This gives her immense confidence, allowing her to disregard the difference in strength and act like an A-rank hero."
Zhong Mengfan asked, "What could that be? However, she is really a bold person. I was also nervous and surprised when I found out that the man under the chimpanzee hood was the powerful A-level superhero Green Forest Elf."
"First of all, she doesn't have strong ill will towards the Green Forest Elves."
Zhong Mengfan looked confused and said, "After doing all those things, you still have no ill intentions?"
"A user who has awakened a legendary creature's psychic abilities is somewhat sensitive to dangers posed by malicious intent, and the Green Forest Elf is also a seasoned professional hero. However, he initially viewed the succubus as a harmless, insignificant woman. Some crimes committed by psychics are carefully planned, while others are completely gratuitous, motivated simply by a desire to use their abilities to toy with and harm innocent people. Therefore, it's likely that she simply acted on impulse after encountering the Green Forest Elf."
"The motivation is to absorb more energy to make yourself stronger," Zhong Mengfan asked uncertainly.
I said, "She's specifically looking for Awakened Ones among the general population. That doesn't make sense. So she doesn't have to use Awakened Ones to improve her abilities. Healthy men and even women should be able to do it."
Zhong Mengfan looked me up and down with suspicion. "Xia Ye, you really know a lot about this kind of thing..."
"It's easy to guess with a little thought. There are so few awakened people in the world. It's impossible to rely solely on absorbing energy from awakened people."
"Wouldn't it be better to just find an ordinary person? It wouldn't be easy to be discovered." Zhong Mengfan coughed lightly and said unnaturally, "Didn't the Green Forest Elf also say that doing that kind of thing with a succubus is quite, quite... comfortable? And she's a beautiful woman. But she chose the most difficult superhero to deal with."
Zhong Mengfan scratched his hair and said, "The more I talk about this succubus, the more confused I am."
I naturally thought of the reason why the succubus suddenly attacked the green forest elf. "Because it is very interesting to tease, play with, and trample on those who are more powerful than oneself, especially those who are famous superheroes."
