I Took A Succubus's First Time

Chapter 422: Yuuna and Aria Vs. Via, Second Part

Sponsored

Yuuna’s expression immediately became much more serious.

Via was an infamous fallen angel.

The fact that he was standing here, inside the territory controlled by the Kouhei Faction, was already concerning enough. The last information they had received about him was that he was staying in Russia, which made his sudden appearance here extremely suspicious.

There was no obvious reason for him to have traveled all the way here just to attack them.

Unless, of course, he had specifically come looking for them.

"You must have been really scared after realizing who I am," Via said, his smile widening. "You probably thought I was just some lowly fallen angel who happened to attack you, didn’t you?"

He paused deliberately, clearly enjoying the tension he was creating.

"But I’m not that anymore."

Via raised one hand.

A bow suddenly materialized in his grasp.

"And now..." he continued, pulling back the string as an arrow of light formed against it. "It’s time for both of you to get hit."

He released the string.

The arrow immediately shot forward.

Yuuna reacted without hesitation and summoned her Crimson Barrier, creating a protective wall between herself, Aria, and the incoming projectile. The arrow struck the barrier with tremendous force, causing the crimson defense to shake from the impact.

Yuuna immediately followed up with another Crimson Dance.

Multiple crimson nails materialized around her once again before flying toward Via in a concentrated barrage.

However, the attack didn’t accomplish what she needed.

Via’s barrier blocked the incoming projectiles.

The crimson nails struck the defensive barrier one after another, but none of them managed to pierce through it. The attacks simply dispersed against the surface before disappearing into the air.

Yuuna’s expression tightened.

The Love Link was helping her, but it still wasn’t enough.

The additional power from her connection with Kouhei had primarily increased her mana capacity, allowing her to use her abilities more frequently and maintain a much larger reserve than before. Unfortunately, having more mana didn’t automatically mean that her attacks possessed enough destructive power to break through Via’s barrier.

Her Crimson Dance could now be used repeatedly, but that didn’t change the fact that Via’s defenses were simply too strong.

Aria understood the problem as well.

For the moment, she was focusing more on supporting Yuuna rather than rushing forward for a direct attack. Charging straight toward Via would be extremely dangerous, especially considering how skilled he clearly was with his bow.

Aria was fast.

Her swordsmanship was also exceptional.

Unfortunately, speed alone wasn’t enough to solve this particular problem.

Via’s arrows appeared to be traveling at something incredibly close to the speed of light, and Aria currently had no way of matching that kind of speed. The first attack he did earlier was just too slow, but now it was much more faster. Even if she managed to get close enough to attack him, she would still have to survive the barrage of light arrows coming her way before she could actually reach him.

That meant a direct approach was practically impossible.

At the moment, both Yuuna and Aria were at a clear disadvantage.

"Where is that boy who was with you earlier?" Via asked suddenly, his expression becoming even more amused. "This would be an incredible waste of time if he’s not here."

His eyes shifted toward Yuuna.

"I want to fuck you with him around, after all."

Yuuna’s expression immediately darkened at his words.

"Crimson Dance!"

She launched another barrage of crimson nails toward him.

Via looked at the incoming attack before casually raising his barrier again.

"That same spell again?" he asked with a mocking laugh. "Don’t you think it’s already become useless when I keep blocking it?"

The Crimson Dance struck his barrier.

Once again, it failed to do any damage.

Yuuna clenched her teeth as she watched the crimson projectiles disappear.

’As I thought, if I want to completely break through that barrier, I need to create a stronger Love Link with Kouhei.’

The realization frustrated her.

She knew exactly what she needed, but the person she needed wasn’t available at the moment.

Kouhei was still busy dealing with the civilians nearby. He was making sure that as many ordinary people as possible were moved away from the battlefield and that nobody accidentally witnessed anything they weren’t supposed to see.

Yuuna understood why he couldn’t simply abandon that responsibility.

At the same time, she couldn’t help wishing he could hurry up.

She needed his help.

The current Love Link was useful, but it wasn’t enough to completely overturn the situation. Her attacks could be launched more frequently, and her mana reserves had become much larger, but Via’s defensive barrier remained an obstacle she couldn’t overcome through sheer persistence.

She glanced toward Aria.

The maid was still standing protectively beside her, sword ready and eyes locked onto Via.

Neither of them could afford to make a reckless move.

If Aria charged forward, Via’s arrows would likely stop her before she ever reached him. If Yuuna continued throwing the same attack at his barrier, she would simply waste her mana without achieving anything meaningful.

Still, retreating wasn’t an option either.

Yuuna tightened her grip and stared directly at Via.

Kouhei wasn’t here yet.

That meant she had to handle this herself for now.

She didn’t know how long she would have to keep fighting, and she didn’t know how much stronger Via might become if the battle dragged on. However, until Kouhei finished taking care of the civilians, Yuuna had no choice but to keep Via occupied.

She raised her hand again, crimson energy beginning to gather around her.

"Fine," Yuuna muttered under her breath, her eyes narrowing as she prepared herself for another exchange. "If that’s the kind of fight you want, then I’ll keep fighting until he gets here."

Via’s ugly smile widened as he watched her prepare another spell.

The battle was far from over, and for the moment, Yuuna had to fight an opponent who seemed to have every advantage over her. She had more mana than before, Aria was standing beside her, and Kouhei was somewhere nearby, but none of those advantages mattered unless they could find a way to break through Via’s defenses.

Until then, Yuuna could only keep attacking, keep defending, and keep looking for the smallest opening she could exploit.

For the time being, she had no choice but to do it herself.
