Chapter 4: Only fel energy opens its doors to me, succubus
The little succubus immediately spoke in a resentful tone: "Tch! Master, you're so cruel! Last night, when you were playing with me, you didn't say that."
You're so scared yet you still want it; I want to play with you, but you won't play.
"Salerna, from the first time I summoned you until now, it seems I haven't toyed with you, right?" Luode rolled his eyes and said.
Moreover, last night I just had you clean up, then go hunt some murlocs, gnolls, and worgen to produce soul fragments, that's all.
What does it mean to have played you roughly? Then next time, how about we try a whip-and-candle combo? Although I can't clear you this little imp without taking damage, I can use props to play with you.
"Tch! Let me see: Dark Covenant, Eye of Kilrogg, Demon Fire, Hellfire, Shadow Arrow, Life Sacrifice, Mana Burn, Chaos Arrow, Medium Enslave Demon, Create Minor Healing Stone, Create Minor Soul Stone."
"Master, your harvest this time is not bad—some low- to intermediate-level fel arts, plenty of which are just right for you to practice now. As for the higher-level fel arts? Hehe, with your current strength, you probably can't cultivate them." Succubus Salerna said.
"Is there any tracking spell up there? Or a locating spell, or something like a demon curse?" Luode asked.
The succubus gave Luode a look of utter contempt and said: "Since you're so afraid of him meddling, why do you still summon a Burning Legion demon to gain power?"
"That's because in this world, only fel energy is willing to open its doors to me."
"I cannot grasp the mysteries of arcane magic, and the Holy Light rejects me."
"Nature's power is indifferent to me, and I lack the strong physique of a warrior."
"Moreover, if I want to become strong quickly, fel energy is undoubtedly the best choice, and only fel energy has opened its doors to me." Luode said helplessly.
"Of course, besides fel energy, I also have my cheat. If it weren't for this cheat's existence, I wouldn't have the guts to summon the Burning Legion and negotiate with it."
"Alright! Master, rest assured, nothing's been tampered with up there. This Airuda demon seems to have been drawn to the bargaining chip you brought out."
"This little booklet he gave only records some low- and intermediate-level fel arts." After checking, Succubus Salerna said.
"Still, our demons' fel is good; this kind of power, as long as you're willing, you can master it."
"The orcs and ogres of Draenor can also wield fel power."
"All right! Thank you for your hard work, Salerna."
Luode then relaxed, picked up the booklet from the ground, and planned to find time to study the fel arts recorded therein.
"But Master, I need to remind you, the blood in this bottle, the blood of an Abyssal Lord—I don't know any information about it, after all every Abyssal Lord is a high commander of the Legion, and a little succubus like me can't come into contact with them."
"But I can confirm one thing: this definitely contains powerful fel energy that can transform any non-demon creature into a demon, granting them strong fel power—but I don't advise you to use it." Succubus Salerna said.
"I'm well aware of this: the orcs in this world turned green-skinned because of the Abyssal Lord's blood. Rest assured, I won't drink this blood." Luode said.
"Then I can rest easy, Master, but there's one more thing I need to remind you of: you're already on the Legion's high‑rank list, and I don't know where the spatial energy in your crystal ball comes from."
"But it has drawn the Legion's attention; you'd better have a countermeasure, because if your strength is too weak, the demons won't bargain with you." Succubus Salerna said.
This master of mine is quite mysterious. Occasionally he disappears for days, as if leaving this world, and brings back all sorts of strange things. "Don't worry! If I didn't have this bottle of Abyssal Lord's blood, I wouldn't have the confidence to convince that guy, but now that I have it, I can call in a powerful ally." Luode said, picking up the bottle containing the Abyssal Lord's blood.
Among the worlds I've traveled through, there's a guy who's extremely eager for power, and his strength is just right—strong enough to serve as my external aid.
"To be honest, Master, I also count as one of yours—won't you tell me some of your little secrets?" Succubus Salerna said.
The master's miraculous little secret really piqued her curiosity; before, she had thought it was just ordinary teleportation magic, but after observing it a few times…
She discovered it was completely different—her master seemingly seemed to have mastered a cross‑planar technique, no wonder, no wonder he's confident he can open a portal for the Legion.
"This is your master's little secret—don't pry. This time, the master will be away for over a month; take care of the house as usual." Luode said.
"I got it, Master—um, the Airuda demon doesn't need these soul fragments; could you give them to me?" The succubus stared at the soul fragments in Luode's hand and said.
The demon lord looks down on them, but she values them! Although they're just soul fragments of the lowest‑grade creatures, they're still very useful to her as a little succubus—at least they can boost her strength considerably.
"These soul fragments—I'm going to use them to boost my strength, so don't even think about them." Luode calmly pocketed the soul fragments and said.
"Just kidding—I've just gotten a new fel manual; training the fel arts inside with these soul fragments as aid makes progress twice as fast."
"Master! Master! Give me, could you hand these over, please?" The succubus suddenly clung to Luode's body and said.
Then her body slowly squatted down.
"Cough cough! Me, you, you don't stop, keep going." Luode suddenly tensed his muscles, then pressed his hand against his succubus's head, "Give me this move."
Luode reached out and grabbed the succubus's curved horns, stood straight, and tilted his head to gaze at the starry sky.
Looking at the blue child and white lady in the sky, he entered sage mode.
Half an hour later, Luode sat in the chair, looking refreshed—damn, the succubus's technique is no joke.
"Hmm! Hmm! Master, take a look at the soul fragment matter." The half‑crouching succubus rose from the ground, wiped the corner of her mouth, licked her lips, and asked.
"Cough cough! When I, your master, train, I also need some—here, you can have one‑third." Sometimes a warlock's joy is something other professions don't get.
"Hehe! Thanks, Master!"
"Salerna, you, you tonight, come to my room to sleep." Luode said.
"Don't worry, Master—I'll take good care of you."
The next day, after instructing the succubus to watch the house, Luode unleashed his special ability, tore through space, and crossed over to another world.
