Classless Ascension - Chapter 395: Succubus Queen!

“Who dares to bully a succubus?!!” Josh blanked. How was SHE here?!! Something, or rather someone, was exiting the dimensional fissure.

He felt her before she even appeared: she felt so familiar! She was finally home, she was…but as she emerged, he couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Wide blackish wings, amethyst eyes, long silky dark hair, and a beautiful face that even fury couldn’t render ugly. She wasn’t her, far from it. This one was obviously a powerful succubus.

She radiated with incredible power, every flap of her wings sending powerful mana gushing all over. It was oppressive, made breathing challenging, and had the orc in full alert in a second.

She was strong. No, strong was an understatement. She made the head succubus at the desk look like a pushover. That’s when she zeroed in on the human, her eyes showing a puzzled expression.

“Strange…You’re the one?” She couldn’t conciliate the bully with the stunned man gawking at her with glazed eyes.

She wasn’t her, but why did she feel so familiar?! If this was a charm ability, even True Serenity couldn’t prevent it. He used all his willpower to resist…and yet he couldn’t.

“What is it? Succubus got your tongue?” She playfully asked, her voice filling his ears.

Every time she spoke, he found himself invaded by a flood of memories. He was reminded of the best and “bad” moments that he still longed for.

He felt like he had to say something. Welcome back? No, she wasn’t her. But he couldn’t even fathom fighting against her either. What was happening to him?

“What is up with him?” She exclaimed to no one in particular.

In the background, the orc realized that his master’s state was strange. On the other hand, he was still fine, perhaps because of that succubus heart.

He gave a self-deprecating smile. This was the first time he saw him falter like so, and the last if they died here. He knew his limits: all he could do was buy time. Without hesitating, he bowed deeply, using the sacred human Ass-Kissing technique!

“Ah! Never have this orc seen such a powerful yet graceful being in his entire life. Oh goddess, please enlighten this poor orc. How shall this one address the most beautiful being in the multiverse?”

She gave him a disdainful glance and yet seemed equally pleased. There could never be too many ants revering one as a god.

“Hehe, this one is the future Succubus Queen, and from now on, this Floor is my domain!” Her tone oozed with pride as she powerfully declared.

“Oh mighty Succubus Queen, you grace us with your presence! Was your journey pleasant?” He worshipfully asked.

Except, she wouldn’t entertain him anymore.

She was already done exchanging pleasantries. She raised her hand, gathering mana into a swirling ball of darkness. This thing looked destructive enough to annihilate the entire Floor.

<br/>The orc swung his hammer at her without hesitating, resolved to interrupt her. The metal drew a powerful arc, landing squarely on her face! Great success— or not…

Her skin didn’t even ripple, and her spell wasn’t interrupted either. There was a layer of purple energy surrounding her: a magical shield! Her eyes were full of ridicule as she teasingly glanced at the foolish orc.

His master was still in a strange state: he had to do something! He hammered and hammered and hammered some more, but it was all useless.

She was still gathering mana, her spell becoming deadlier and deadlier. By now, just the wind it caused as it swirled was enough to shake the hallway, sending the random succubi flying all over.

But then he suddenly lost his footing, and one of his arms involuntarily slapped the Succubus… and this time there was an effect. How?!

Wait…was this shield preventing “attacks”?! This meant that she could be pushed!

‘Thanks for showing me a new world, Mater.’ The orc mumbled in his heart as he rushed at the enemy.

But, he didn’t use his hammer. He wrapped his bulky arms around her slender frame and used his entire weight to push! His goal was the dimensional fissure.

The dimensional winds in there had to be sharp enough to defeat her! He was akin to a racing forklift on nitro as they instantly reached the portal. But just as they were about to enter it, she grinned. Then she stopped budging.

“Playtime is over.” She mischievously whispered as she readied her claw-like fingers and plunged them straight at his neck.

He felt her nails bruise against his green skin, but just as they were about to push further in, she was enveloped by a strange gray fog. He took the opportunity to retreat in a hurry.

A small distance away, the succubus receptionist stood.

“Your Floor? As if! This is the Dimensional Brothel, not someplace any random stray succubus can run wild!” She snorted, the fog her doing.

“Can this defeat her?”

“It can defeat anything in existence! This power stems from the rules of the Floor itself. There’s no way that this bitch can—

— WOOOSHHH!—

The spell the Succubus had been suddenly charging exploded in the fog. The entire thing trembled, but so did the Floor.

A gust of powerful magical energy swept the corridor, sending the random succubi flying all over. The receptionist suddenly threw blood as she stared at the scene in disbelief.

“H-how?! T-this is impossible?!” She screamed, flabbergasted.

The fog disappeared, revealing the Succubus Queen, who wasn’t harmed in the least. She grinned at the receptionist with a grin.

“What that it? A little too naive to think this would even work.”

That’s when she charged up the exact same spell. This time, the difference was that it barely took her a second to do it. She had been trolling them from the start….

“Wait, you seriously thought this would work?! Pfft— Hahaha, how rich!” She happily giggled.

“Is it your first time facing someone like me? You see, all Towers are interconnected, but some Towers are stronger than others. I guess yours is on the weaker side….”

“Anyway, now it’s time to clean up. The angry orc dies, the rebellious Succubus can either follow me or perish, and the human will suffer endless torture for his earlier crime.”

She so easily decided their fate while there were still succubi flying all around.

“Green guy, if there is a life after death, then make sure to enjoy it! Time to—” She never managed to finish her sentence.

Josh had suddenly sneak attacked her! Somehow she hadn’t noticed him approach, and he was already embracing her, as the orc had done earlier.

“Succubi-Nado? That’s pretty cool, but I can’t let you kill them.” He chuckled.

Was he stupid? She hurriedly slapped him, intending to bash his head in. But her dainty hand simply left a red mark on his face, not hurting him in the least. What the hell?! For some reason, she couldn’t muster any power.

“Y-you, what kind of sorcery is this?!” She cried out in fright.

“Oh, just a small trick.” He had finally understood where the familiarity came from.

“W-what?!” She couldn’t help but glance at him in shock. Why did he suddenly feel so different? Why didn’t he seem afraid of her?!

The orc wouldn’t miss the opportunity. He came charging and crashed his hammer on her head, but the damn purple shield was still there!

Josh shook his head. She was too strong for their current party to defeat, even if she forever stood still. He gave one last smile to his trusted subordinate.

“I’m counting on you to take care of D.L.” That’s when he dived in the dimensional fissure, forcefully bringing the Succubus along….
