Chapter 1024 - 37: Enchanting Demon Lair (Part 2)
The entire city is like a carnivorous flower.
The more beautiful and lavish the upper layers of the city are, the more terrifying the underground labyrinth becomes, where the Enchanting Demon drains the last ounce of value from mortals.
A gigantic arch emerges ahead.
The Iluvia Arch, named after Meikanshute’s most famous mortal believer, the witch Iluvia-Morel, this rose-colored giant stone arch is built to commemorate Meikanshute’s many triumphs in the Material Plane.
The astonishing reliefs and ornate inscriptions display numerous tales of Meikanshute’s sexual exploits and legendary victories, including the titles of noble families in different worlds that fell under her influence. (Note: Mostly warlock families, including the Enchanting Demon twins sent by Red Robes, hence Shadella has many Enchanting Mages.)
It is said that a perfect union with an Enchanting Demon beneath the Iluvia Arch can result in conceiving a half-Purgatory offspring.
Demons cannot reproduce with demons, but Enchanting Demons and mortals have a rather high chance of reproduction.
Duncan paused, gazing at the reliefs above, and like others believed, they were full of colorful debauched motifs, except that the Enchanting Demon Queen always occupied the central position, like a rider, a queen capturing her prey, with mortals beneath her all being her prey.
Carriages passed through the arch in a steady stream, all disguised as humans, these Enchanting Demons were naturally skilled at shapeshifting.
As long as they are willing, they can attempt any face, provided their art of disguise is skilled enough.
The carriages carried juicy fruits and delectable grains from the ’Land of Harmony’, these foods were delicious and addictive, all creations of the Enchanting Demon Queen. The corruption had infiltrated everything here, from food to water supplies, all enticing people to depravity.
In terms of rich resources, Shadella on the 570th layer of the abyss ranks first.
The Enchanting Demon Queen, perhaps due to her weaker power, excels in management.
"Ahead is the Heart of Rift."
The voice of Red Robes echoed, her form changing into a glamorous human noblewoman, clad in warlock attire, a guise she carried among mortals and having corrupted several warlock families, she whispered, "Mother demands that all demons in the Heart of Rift be disguised as humans."
A super-sized mock-playground.
Also a place for Enchanting Demons to train their ’performance’ skills.
It is said that all desires can be fulfilled in Shadella’s vibrant capital ’Heart of Rift’, where all residents are prey and demons disguised as humans.
Duncan inhaled a faintly decadent and libertine atmosphere.
More depraved and blatant than the Sensual District of Lightwater City, where all mortals were controlled, their minds sunk, each person pursuing or experiencing various fallen, wanton, and delightful experiences.
"The Enchanting Demon Queen wants to ascend to godhood!" Duncan’s pupil constricted.
From his God perspective, everything looked altogether different, he sensed a divine position’s scent, it was some kind of sacrificial ritual condensing a divine position.
All prey were sacrifices.
All taboos, depravity, pleasure, etc., were tools for condensing the dark aspect of a divine position.
The Enchanting Demon Queen’s ambition is larger than anticipated!
A grandiose palace appeared.
Beneath the towering palace was the ’Maze of Disarray’, filled with many carnivorous plants. It is said that those who successfully pass through gain the Enchanting Demon Queen’s favor, often at the cost of death.
"Friend."
"Care for a little something to make yourself happy?"
A casual male voice came.
Duncan turned his head and saw a handsome human man hawking various bottles and jars, very familiar, as even the Mother of Great Bliss had indulged. As if noticing Duncan’s gaze, he turned and displayed a smile showcasing exemplary performance skills, warm and friendly.
——Assassin Demon (Four-star Gold)!
Beside Duncan, the Red Robes, in disguise as a human noblewoman, coldly uttered a word: "Scram!"
The Assassin Demon’s face changed, quickly disappearing into the alley.
This prey had an owner.
In the eyes of the Assassin Demon, many mortals were prey captured by Enchanting Demons.
This is the largest toxic dealer of the Bottomless Abyss, even available in some main Material Planes, the divine position condensed by the Enchanting Demon Queen probably has [Corruption].
Too bad she doesn’t mix in the West, otherwise she’d be quite popular in Camada.
"Follow me."
The Red Robes whispered: "Be cautious."
Ahead was a magnificent palace, and upon reaching it, even the Red Robes seemed extremely cautious, with some frivolous and pale-faced males eyeing her wickedly and indecently, looking incredibly disheveled. When the gaze fell on the tall and heroic Duncan, these male creatures revealed a hint of jealousy.
The Enchanting Demon Queen’s paramours, those drained and uninterested preys, either died or were kept outside the palace until they were utterly devoid of any value.
These pitiable souls often fought for the Enchanting Demon Queen’s favor, dying silently, and then replaced by another group.
"Stop."
"Is this the new pet offered to the Queen?"
A haughty half-elf suddenly appeared, seemingly not recognizing the disguised Red Robes and regarding Duncan as a new pet offered to the Enchanting Demon Queen.
Many powerful Enchanting Demons would present tributes to the Queen, as it could earn Meikanshute’s favor, like Princess Taiping presenting male pets to Wu Zetian.
