Chapter 363: Chapter 377: Forcibly Catching the Adulterer

The group quickly arrived at the end of the corridor, and even without the introduction from those two lust-blinded Berserk Demons earlier, they had no trouble identifying which door belonged to the “Supreme Commander’s” office.

The door marked “Supreme Commander.”

The door was firmly closed at this moment, but there seemed to be movement inside. Lancelot was about to push the door open when his expression suddenly froze; he turned his head and handed over the Dimensional Bag, which contained Alamir and the others, to little Isha, instructing her:

“You go in last. Hide behind the others at first, and the moment the fight starts, get everyone out.”

“Alright!” Isha nodded her head heavily, clutching the Dimensional Bag tightly in her hand.

“Remember, the last one in, stay in the back.” Lancelot reminded her once again. Then he pulled out the Giant Sword Glacier directly from the weapon bag and said to the others, “Everyone, get your weapons ready. Act on cue.”

...

Everyone did as instructed. Lancelot stepped back twice, first formed a wide-range Soundproof Barrier Spell, then took a deep breath, and smashed his foot hard on the door made of Abyssal Metal.

He even applied the technique of Gathering Qi Slash in his kick; the heavy metal door instantly turned into a pile of debris. Lancelot led the group through the gaping entrance, pointing forward with his sword, and shouted loudly:

“What are you doing here?”

His words somewhat bewildered the group, but as soon as they saw the scene inside the office, they understood immediately. Two Seduction Demons lay on the ground, each with a Succubus ‘riding’ atop the large four-armed demons, the scene both erotic and bizarre.

The Demon flung the still warm body of the Succubus at Lancelot, forcing the Human Knight to dodge to the side, but it was this brief moment that allowed two other Succubus to use their once-a-day ability to summon their kin. The blue and white light of teleportation shone, and four Berserk Demons appeared out of thin air, croaking as they charged at the group.

But this ambush team was not without reinforcements, as Shuni, who had been hiding behind Kalalin, threw open her Dimensional Bag, and out tumbled three fully-armed Elves. The last to emerge was Koula, who was still squeezing through the bag opening, all the while chugging a bubbling Mutagen.

“Invaders!” the Demons shouted, and the battle erupted in an instant.

Lancelot, still maintaining his Succubus form, wielded the Great Sword that was extremely disproportionate to his stature, and clashed with the Succubus that had just used another Succubus as a shield. Another Succubus was intercepted by Elothysia, while Shuni, the Priest donned in Heavy Armor, holding a Shield and Hardhead Hammer, quickly closed the distance to provide support for the brave Succubus Paladin.

Upon seeing the Berserk Demons, Bruto instantly removed his Transformation Ring and charged at them with a roar. The Dwarf’s experience of enslavement had imbued him with an intense hatred for such Demons, and given the chance, the Berserk Demons were always his first target.

Kamoen, Acheron, and Koula, who had drunk the Mutagen, each confronted a Berserk Demon, while little Shuni slipped into the shadows, searching for the right opportunity to strike. The scene was chaotic yet without a sound could escape the room because of the Soundproof Barrier Spell that Lancelot had released earlier.

Lancelot was having the easiest time fighting. His opponent, terrified, discovered that this Succubus, who was a head shorter and possibly weighed less than a fifth of his own size, was overpowering him in strength. The Great Sword, emitting a strange green glow, was so sharp that after only two or three clashes, cracks had appeared on his supposedly invincible pincers, threatening to break at any moment.

Not far away, the Succubus Paladin and the Elf Priest struggled to match another Succubus. Their combined power still fell short compared to the Succubus, and if struck solidly, the Demon might suffer serious injuries, but they likely would have been killed.

The Succubus tried to withstand a strike from Elothysia, with the intent of snapping the delicate Elf Priest with its giant pincer. But the Sword Blade of the Paladin blazed with a golden Flame, cutting a huge gash in the Demon’s pincer, making it instantly regret its choice.

The Succubus attempted to clamp down on the Paladin, while the Priest took the opportunity to prove her Hardhead Hammer was not to be ignored. Both sides exchanged blows, barely maintaining a balance of power.

Over with Bruto, the fighting was mixed. The Dwarf took several hits from the giant toad, but he had successfully shattered the enemy’s left knee, ensuring victory was just a matter of time; Acheron held his own with a Longsword, and it seemed difficult to discern a winner in the short term; Kamoen’s twin blades danced like snakes, and although they hadn’t yet struck the Berserk Demon’s body, they had already sliced off several claws; and Koula, with her enhanced response from the Mutagen, was rolling around on the ground, not yet hit but also struggling to make an effective counterattack.

But they had one Spellcaster companion free from disturbance. Kalalin had also undone his Transformation. He unfurled a scroll, ready to provide magical support for his comrades.
