Chapter 260: Exposed

"H-Huh?" The receptionist stuttered as she heard my words.

"You’re fake, everything about you is a lie. Your smile, you voice, your attitude, your tits, everything about you is fake."

She cupped her breasts in her arms as she reeled back from shock, not wanting to believe what she was hearing.

"How dare you! How dare you throw such slanderous lies at me!" She screeched like banshee.

"But they’re not lies, you’re lying right now. Your cup size went up by one when you came back."

"Ey? Really?" Garrick sputtered as he leaned in to get a closer look. "I mean, I can’t quite see but now that you mention it, they do seem to have grown far too large far too quickly in the time I’ve seen her working here."

"Yeah, your right, she has shown an unprecedented amount of growth in that department." I heard one woman exclaim.

"Yeah, and her attitude is just shit!"

Suddenly there was a whole crowd of people that were now surrounding the little booth section where I currently was, and if not for Garrick standing behind me, I felt that they would’ve tried to get in here and attack her or something. Resulting in me being squished between them all.

I saw as the façade of the woman slowly crumble apart until she finally snapped.

"Tch." Her demeanour changed instantly.

From a timid and frightened demure girl, to a steadfast and confident bitch.

"You’ve ruined everything." She spat out spitefully towards me.

Suddenly, her entire body burst into hellish fire, literally, fire from hell. She was a full-on demon.

When the fire receded, I saw that she had pinkish purple skin, with a pair of horns atop her head which were a much darker shade of purple.

A large pair of leathery wings protruded from her upper back and a similar leathery spaded tail with a thick rim all the way along.

Her hands were immaculately taken care of, as were her feet. Her thighs were thick yet sleek. Not too big to make you think she was fat or something, but still enough to be enamoured by them.

Her waist was slim and her chest full and round. She wore an extremely skimpy outfit that barely hid any of her private parts. You could see her areole peaking out the top of what seemed to be her bra that cupped her tits from underneath.

Overall she was a true beauty among mortal standards, and her appearance had enamoured every single person behind me.

"So, you’re immune to my charms. No matter, I’ll just kill you and be done with it. You ruined everything, just like that bitch did."

"No, you won’t."

"Huh? Do you not realise what you’re dealing with?" She sneered with disdain.

"Eh, I’ve seen stronger." I replied in a mocking tone. Plus, it was true, my father is indeed stronger and can be more intimidating than her.

Not to mention the people from the Illuminati are several leagues ahead of her in terms of raw power.

And also my secret teacher Eric... Oh shit, I think I was supposed to meet him last weekend. Fuck!

"OI! Listen to me when I’m talking to you, you little shit!" I heard the woman, who was obviously a succubus if you couldn’t tell.

Huh? Was she saying something?

"What?" I asked in a displeased tone as I knew that most demons had high egos, and that mocking them like I was would be a great way to upset her, which would weaken her pride, and in turn weaken her power a little.

She growled in frustration as she started to yell at me, "Do you have ANY idea of who you’re dealing with? I am a Superior Succubus!" Her tits were bouncing all over the place as she threw her body around, causing the people behind me to become even more enamoured.

"Okay, and?" I said dismissively. That wasn’t really all that impressive in all honesty. Lily seemed like she had more potential...

Fuck, that’s another thing I need to do. Shit! I completely forgot about her in the midst of all that’s happened. I should summon her later and apologise for making her wait so long.

All of a sudden, I felt something coming my way. It was a ball of [Hell Fire]. It blasted me in the face and I could hear the bitchy succubus laughing her ass off as it hit me.

"AHAHAHA! That’s what you get for ignoring me you little shit! AHAHAHAHA–Huh?" Her laughter cut out the moment the flames were dispersed.

To clarify, I dispersed them with a wave of my hands. I stared at her with disdain and disappointment written all over my face.

"Is that the best you can do? Pathetic. You couldn’t even singe my hair." I said scornfully whilst looking down upon her.

I could see the veins throbbing on her head in absolute rage.

"You BITCH!" She screamed as she suddenly lunged towards me.

I was prepared for this though as I knew she would try and attack me physically. It’s a common emotional response among many demons that are easy to trigger if you know what buttons to push. Which is all the buttons.

Anyways, she was lunging towards me, but it felt rather slow. Even the people that were in the Silver rank training class.

Or maybe it was because I was in fight mode. Either way, I had theoretically infinite ways to end this.

I could counter her attacks with my own, but that would probably end up in this place being destroyed and I don’t want to be held responsible for that.

I could use magic, but then there’s the question of which one I should use? I don’t want to use [Fire] because that’s typically less effective on a high majority of all demons, plus, it might also destroy the place and more.

No [Space] either because I don’t want people knowing I have that. Poison? No, I’m not really adept at that.

Ooh, there’s an idea. Poison magic classes could be something I attend. That is if such a class exists.

I don’t really want to use any of my Bloodline suppression abilities and out myself as a demon also, especially not after this incident.

Actually, looking at my skills, I should just use [Petrifying Gaze]. It’s a sweet and simple solution to all of this.

I do also have all of my Soul abilities, but I think using them is a violation of the law or something. I’ll have to check up on that.

Besides, I don’t want to use such a thing here. If I do, she might die or become mentally inept or something.

Paralysis it is then!

In the time it took for me to think of an appropriate counter measure, she had reached striking distance and was in the midst of throwing her clawed hands to slash at me.

But I didn’t even have to move to as I just stared into her eyes that were widened with fury. Which I have to admit were rather pretty. And activated my Skill and paralysed her.

The moment I saw it take effect, I grabbed her out of the air and shoved her back onto the floor behind her desk, which she had leaped over to get to me.

I felt time around me return to normal as my fighting instincts and my [Divine Instincts] receded.

Looking back, I could see that the people behind me were still in a trance. And looking over the desk, I could see the succubus lying still on the floor.

I wasn’t sure what I should do now since there wasn’t room for me to squeeze out of here with everyone having clustered against one another just to look at the succubus just now.

I suppose I should just snap them out of their trance shouldn’t I? Yeah, let’s do that.

The first thing I tried was waving my hands and snapping my fingers in front of their faces but that didn’t work. I tried slapping them a couple of times, I even resorted to slapping them rather hard after some light slaps got no results but that didn’t work either.

It seemed that something else was at play here.

Maybe, instead of looking like they were under some sort of spell from that bitch, they were under an actual spell, and not just her charms enamouring them.

With that in mind, I looked back over the desk once more and used [Mana Vision], and I was surprised to see that there was indeed a link of mana between her and the people behind me.

Looks like I was right and they were indeed enchanted with an actual spell. But why is it still active though? Shouldn’t it have worn off by now? Or is it not that kind of spell.

If it’s one that only requires one to establish a connection and can maintain itself like this one, then I have two options. I’m not killing her because I want an explanation as to why she’s here.

The first option is to wait for her to run out of mana, which, quite frankly, I don’t want to do, that would take too long.

The second option is to find some way of cutting of this flow of mana myself. Without killing the source of course.
