Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

Chapter 390: Chapter 275: My Tongue is Super Amazing! A Clue to Queen Medusa?

"I understand."

Su Xuan nodded and immediately issued a warning to Kanlutia.

However, Kanlutia scoffed at this, sneering, "A mere fat snake is nothing to fear! Kid, if you’re scared, stay back and watch this True Ancestor hunt it down!"

Before she had even finished speaking, Kanlutia transformed into a dazzling red streak of light, diving toward the Snake of Death.

BOOM!

A deafening crash echoed as a bloody mist filled the air.

Countless claws of blood materialized around Kanlutia, like sharp blades, frantically tearing at the Snake of Death’s massive body.

In just a few moments, ghastly bloody gashes covered the Snake of Death’s body, from which torrents of fresh blood gushed out.

This very blood, in turn, strengthened Kanlutia’s blood claws, dealing another devastating blow to the Snake of Death.

This combat style was not what Su Xuan had expected. ’I didn’t think Kanlutia specialized in close combat?’

But it wasn’t entirely that. This had to be a form of Blood Magic, not simple physical damage.

"Die!"

Kanlutia continued her claw attacks, each strike imbued with powerful Blood Magic. The condensed blood claws seemed poised to rip the Snake of Death’s enormous body to shreds.

Faced with imminent death, the Snake of Death was terrified. It opened its massive maw and spewed out thick clouds of black mist, attempting to block Kanlutia’s assault and escape her attack range.

"Trying to escape? In your dreams!"

Kanlutia showed no mercy. Her countless blood claws rapidly fused, forming a pair of gigantic bloody hands. Like iron pincers, these hands clamped firmly onto the Snake of Death’s tail, then began a new round of crushing.

’This girl... is she really that strong?’

Su Xuan was a little surprised as he watched this unfold.

Kanlutia was only Level 1!

Although her All Attributes were linked to his as the President, this was just too absurd.

This Snake of Death was a Level 79 Demon, after all. How could it be so utterly powerless against Kanlutia?

"So that’s how it is..."

Just then, Lucia’s voice interrupted Su Xuan’s thoughts. She explained to him, "Kanlutia is using her control over blood to suppress the Snake of Death’s Source of Magical Power—that drop of Demigod Blood from the Black Flame Dragon. That’s why the Snake of Death can’t use its full strength."

"Moreover, she seems to be burning some kind of blood, which has given her a shocking boost in power."

"Burning blood?"

Su Xuan carefully checked Kanlutia’s attribute panel. He could indeed see that her All Attributes had received a significant boost. Combined with the increase provided by his own All Attributes, every one of her stats exceeded one thousand!

Meanwhile, with its Black Flame Dragon’s Blood suppressed by Kanlutia, the Snake of Death’s power was greatly diminished, leaving it with less than thirty percent of its original strength.

The combination of these factors resulted in the one-sided scene of Kanlutia utterly crushing the Snake of Death.

Before long, the Snake of Death’s body was dripping with blood under Kanlutia’s relentless assault.

One could even faintly see ghastly white bone through its blood-soaked flesh—a horrifying sight!

"Just a dead snake!"

Kanlutia gave a cold smile, then prepared to use the same technique to drain the Snake of Death completely of its blood.

However, just as the blood at her fingertips was about to shoot out, the Snake of Death suddenly erupted in a dense black mist, instantly enveloping Kanlutia completely.

"Damn it!"

Kanlutia immediately sensed trouble. She quickly spread her wings and shot backward, escaping the spreading black mist.

But after Kanlutia broke free from the black mist, the once-struggling Snake of Death suddenly began to undergo a startling transformation.

Its body began to rot rapidly. Skin and scales sloughed off, revealing the stark white bone beneath. In the end, it was reduced to a desiccated corpse, coiled silently on the dry riverbed, devoid of any sign of life.

’That black mist was...?’

Su Xuan keenly sensed something was wrong and quickly pulled up Kanlutia’s attribute panel.

A new status had appeared in her status bar—[Death Erosion]!

[Death Erosion: Cursed by the Goddess of Death, this unit will face death in ? days! (?)]

"?"

Seeing Kanlutia’s [Death Erosion] status, Su Xuan’s expression instantly turned grim.

Kanlutia had been cursed by the Goddess of Death? But it didn’t seem that simple. The curse didn’t specify a time of death, and there was even an additional note, though the information was hidden.

Regardless, [Death Erosion] was a negative status effect that had to be removed as soon as possible.

"Reine, let’s go." Su Xuan gave the decisive order. Mare Rhine immediately spread her wings and soared, speeding toward Kanlutia.

"COUGH COUGH COUGH~ How despicable!" Kanlutia coughed painfully. She naturally understood what that black mist was.

"You’ve been cursed!"

Su Xuan immediately warned Kanlutia.

"I know!"

Kanlutia gritted her teeth. Her bright red pupils darted around once before she replied, "Don’t worry, I have my own ways of suppressing a mere curse like this. I’m the True Ancestor of the Vampire race. A trivial matter like this is nothing to speak of!"

"Are you really okay?"

"Of course!" Kanlutia lifted her chin and said confidently, "At worst, this curse will just make me sleep for a few decades. It’s no big deal!"

"..."

Su Xuan was rendered speechless by Kanlutia’s answer.

’If she really falls asleep, didn’t I recruit her for nothing?’

’Looks like I have to find a way to remove this curse as soon as possible.’

"Human!"

Kanlutia took a deep breath, then planted her hands on her hips, revealing two cute little fangs in a smug smile. "Wasn’t this True Ancestor amazing?"

"..."

Su Xuan was momentarily stunned before replying, "Amazing."

"Hee hee!"

"Stop the small talk. Let’s go check the Snake of Death’s corpse," Lucia interjected.

Everyone’s gaze fell in unison on the rotting Snake of Death in the riverbed.

The corpse emitted a foul stench, and wisps of black mist drifted around it.

"Why was it able to unleash the Goddess of Death’s curse?" Su Xuan asked Lucia quizzically after landing.

"I’m not sure about that either. However, since it’s called the Snake of Death, perhaps it really is connected to the Goddess of Death," Lucia said, shaking her head. She didn’t know much about the Snake of Death’s origins either.

"Human kid, hurry and look!"

"What is it?" Su Xuan followed her gaze.

He saw Kanlutia beckon with her finger, drawing a drop of black-gold blood from the Snake of Death’s body.

She smiled smugly at Su Xuan and said, "This is Demigod’s Blood. It’ll be a great benefit to you!"

"?"

Hearing this, Su Xuan showed a hint of confusion. "You’re not going to take it yourself?" he asked.

"Tch! This True Ancestor wouldn’t deign to touch such low-level blood. Only the blood of the Mother of Demons is worthy of my taste!" Kanlutia scoffed contemptuously. Then, she tossed the Black Flame Dragon’s blood in her hand to Su Xuan. "It’s yours."

"Thanks."

Su Xuan caught the drop of Demigod Blood, thanked her, and then carefully placed it in his inventory.

Then, his gaze returned to the Snake of Death, which had now turned into a desiccated corpse.

With the Demigod’s Blood gone, the Snake of Death’s body also began to rapidly disintegrate, eventually dissolving into fragments that vanished into the air.

After it had all dissipated, a silver hairpin, glinting with a cold light, suddenly appeared in Su Xuan’s line of sight.

’What’s that?’

Su Xuan immediately strode forward and picked it up.

[? Silver Hairpin: ??]

’All unknown information?’

Su Xuan tried to inspect the silver hairpin’s information, but both its name and its attributes were displayed as unknown.

"This silver hairpin..."

At that moment, the gazes of Lucia, Kanlutia, and Mare Rhine all landed in unison on the silver hairpin in his hand.

Su Xuan looked up slightly and asked the three of them, "Do any of you know where this silver hairpin comes from?"

A look of desire flashed in Mare Rhine’s eyes. She held out her hand and said, "Human, give it to me. It is absolutely worthy of being a treasure in my hoard!"

Su Xuan was taken aback, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

An item so coveted by this Giant Dragon must have an extraordinary origin.

Lucia, however, had a thoughtful expression. She stroked her chin and said in a serious tone, "If I remember correctly... that should be Queen Medusa’s Silver Hairpin."

"Queen Medusa’s Silver Hairpin?"

Hearing this, Su Xuan looked down at the silver hairpin in his hand.

The pattern on the hairpin was indeed that of a creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake, coiled around it...
