Chapter 718

Within a cave in the forest bordering the Moon Demon Territory.

Shien was currently standing at the entrance of the cave, looking outside as if he was keeping watch. However, his gaze was constantly directed towards the interior of the cave, his mouth twitching slightly.

There, Chafine was seated on the ground, her eyes closed. The curse on her body was being expelled by a dense holy light.

The holy light came from the illusory figures that had appeared around Chafine.

These illusory figures were all dressed in the robes of a clergyman. Some were young, some were old, some were young, some were male, some were female, but all of them were looking at Chafine with worshipful gazes. They were using all sorts of high-level healing magic to dispel the curse on her body.

This scene left Shien both stunned and in awe.

Chafine's unique ability allowed her to determine the strength of a person's impression and connection with them. The more intoxicated one was with her, the more loyal, loved, and infatuated one was with her, the less they would be able to resist her. In fact, they might even become her "possession".

This so-called "possessions" referred to all aspects of the world.

For example, if one was purely infatuated with Chafine, they would only have their vision, hearing, and other senses stolen, allowing Chafine to see and smell what others saw and heard. The effects wouldn't be too deep.

But the more infatuated and intoxicated one was with her, the deeper the connection with the Rippling Demoness would become, allowing Chafine to take away other people's possessions even more deeply.

In the end, Chafine could even transform into another person and use their abilities. She could even peer into their hearts and memories.

This was the most terrifying aspect of the Rippling Demoness. The more one was infatuated with Chafine, the more they fell in love with her, the less secrets they would have, the less resistance they would have. Everything about them would be used by Chafine, and their value would be completely drained.

If this ability was obtained by an ugly person, it would most likely be for naught.

Unfortunately, the one who obtained it was not an ugly person, but rather the number one beauty of the Three Realms, the alluring beauty who had caused countless emperors and heroes to fall in love with a single glance.

This was the reason why the Rippling Demoness was so terrifyingly powerful, as well as why succubi were so terrifying.

When Shien found out about this, he was already secretly shocked. Who would have thought that he had underestimated this ability?

"She can actually create illusions of others who are connected to her, and the illusions even have the same strength and abilities as the original. Isn't this Rippling Demoness a bit too terrifying?"

Shien didn't even know how to describe his current feelings.

He even saw a kind-looking Legendary-level pope among the clergymen who were using recovery magic to remove Chafnie's curse.

If he wasn't mistaken, that guy was called Yule.

This really made Sean feel as if he had been beaten by a dog.

"You old pervert, you're actually secretly in love with a succubus, and you've even sunk to the point where you can transform into a phantom and be summoned. Are you worthy of the goddess you serve?"

Sean's complaints had never stopped since the beginning.

But then, he started.

"Don't tell me I'll be recreated by that witch in the form of an illusion and become her fighter?"

Although he hadn't fallen for her, in terms of relationship, his relationship with Chafine was definitely better than anyone else's, right?

This way, the deeper his relationship with the Rippling Demoness, the deeper his mental impression was, and the more he could connect with her and use her various abilities. It didn't seem possible that he wouldn't be recreated as an illusion …?

"I …"

Shien was a bit stunned.

At this moment, an extremely annoyed voice sounded in Shien's ears.

"Don't worry, there's a limit to this. At the very least, it won't be able to recreate a person's unique skills. Even special skills can't be recreated, let alone the Hero's Holy Sword."

With this voice, the illusions around Chafine seemed to reluctantly disappear, causing Chafine to open her eyes.

"… You're reading my mind again?"

Shien looked at Chafine speechlessly.

"Who told you to stand there with a face full of doubt?"

Chafine squinted her eyes.

"Anyone would doubt their own life after seeing this ability of yours, okay?"

Shien rolled his eyes.

"What a coincidence, my sisters often say the same thing." Chafine smiled and said, "However, although this ability is powerful, the side effects are also very obvious."

Chafine's words reminded Shien of something.

It seemed that the disciple of the [Sun] named Parion had said that this ability to connect with each other through the mind as a medium was mutual.

That was why Chafine was able to exploit other people's infatuation and infatuation with her to extract their worth, and he was able to make her submit when she had a deep impression of him, making her unable to resist.

That was why Chafine didn't care about anyone. She didn't want her heart to have a deep impression of others, so that she wouldn't be able to resist their requests.

[Rippling Heart Devil] — this ability to control the power of others through the mind connection was a double-edged sword.

"I know how terrifying my ability is. It's so terrifying that I'll never be able to recover from it. That's why I've always had a ranking in my heart to rate others. The higher the score, the more important it is to me, but at the same time, the more dangerous it is."

Chafine spoke in a faint voice.

This made Shien curious.

"Then what's my score in your heart?"

Shien looked at Chafine curiously.

Chafine didn't say anything. She just smiled with a profound meaning.

"Alright," Shien pursed his lips and said, "One day, I'll try to read your mind."

That way, he wouldn't be the only one revealing his inner thoughts.

Of course, Chafine's mind-reading ability was probably not complete. She could only occasionally read some of Shien's one-sided thoughts.

Otherwise, Shien wouldn't be able to keep any secrets from this woman.

(If one day I completely fall and become her subordinate, then all my thoughts and even the memories in the depths of my mind will probably be read, right?)

Shien immediately sighed. Fortunately, he had held on and wasn't tempted by this witch. Otherwise, he would really be doomed.

Thinking of this, Shien hurriedly lowered his head and got rid of all distracting thoughts.

Chafine seemed to have noticed Shien's actions.

"What? Are you afraid that I'll find out some little secret? " Chafine said with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Then remember to stay away from me in the future. Don't ever have improper thoughts about me again."

Hearing this, Shien raised his eyebrows.

"I have improper thoughts about you?" Shien looked straight at Chafine and said, "It seems that a certain succubus also has improper thoughts about me, right?"

"Me? Towards you? "Chafine's eyes widened.

"Isn't that so?" Shien mimicked Chafine and said with a smile, "If not, then why didn't you resist that night?"

"I …" Chafine opened her mouth.

"Don't tell me that it's because of the side effects of the Rippling Heart Devil that you can't resist me." Shien blocked Chafine's path of retreat and snorted. "You said it yourself. The side effects also affect the mind. Since you can't resist, it means that I'm not low in your heart. You have improper thoughts about me, you lusted after my body, you're despicable."

Chafine was almost angered to death.

How could that be the same?

It's only 98 points, one point lower than my little Ai Yi. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want to me with that score?

That's just my own score, not the Rippling Heart Devil's.

On the side of the [Rippling Heart Demon], what he saw was the flaw in the soul. The impression of the soul would determine the strength of the connection.

As for you, don't you have any idea how powerful you were during those times?

He was tormented to the point that he was almost crippled, and he was almost tormented to death by you. In that case, how could he not have the deepest impression in his heart?

Lusting after your body?

You're the one who forced yourself on me every time!

Chafing, Chafing's body trembled. She raised her hand and wanted to punch Sean.

But at that moment, a wave of magic swept past, causing Shien and Chafine to pause.

"This is …?"

Shien's eyes flashed. He closed his eyes and released his perception.

Chafine did the same and began to sense.

Not long after, the two sensed waves of hidden magic appearing in the surroundings. They even appeared in the forest and wandered around.

Moreover, the other party was deliberately hiding their tracks, but the search was not small. It was obvious that they were doing something shady.

"Is it someone from the Original Demon?"

Shien muttered.

"Probably?" Chafine sneered and said, "Seems like that guy is not willing to give up this opportunity."

Evidently, these people were sent by the half-demon to search for traces of Shien and Chafine.

"There's a Legendary-level guy leading them. The rest are only high-level Demons between Level 70 and Level 80." Shien looked at Chafine and asked, "Do you want me to go out and deal with them?"

"Don't." Chafine thought for a moment and shook her head. "That guy is probably hiding nearby using a unique skill. If you attack, he'll immediately notice."

When that happened, Shien and Chafine would definitely be hunted down by him.

"I don't care. I'll use all my trump cards. I don't believe that I can't do anything to an incomplete Transcendent." Shien frowned and said, "If you attack, then he'll be seeking his own death by running out."

"Me?" Chafine smiled bitterly and said, "Unfortunately, the curse on me hasn't been completely dispelled. It's accumulated over hundreds of years, and it can't be easily removed. If I attack, there's a high chance that the curse will erupt."

In other words, if they really fought, not only would Shien have to fight the other party, but he would also have to protect Chafine.

If that was the case, the situation would become very disadvantageous.

In other words …

"You're not going to fight?"

Shien felt a little regretful.

"No," Chafine said with some amusement. "Don't worry, I'll settle this score with him sooner or later."

Shien nodded noncommittally.
