BXBX NOVEL Chapter 24 24 - Friends, Deaths, And Reunions (Part 2)
"Sorry I didn\'t mean to do that!" Apologizing to Garth, Asuka drew her hand away from everyone\'s sight.
\'Shit! Shit! Shit! My hand transformed into a wolf claw!\' Unaware of the fact that she could subconsciously trigger body transformation, Asuka glanced in horror at the others.
"Can you teach me?!" Maya exclaimed, glaring at Asuka with glittering eyes.
"I-no…sorry, it\'s a secret!" Quickly transforming her hand back to that of a human, Asuka took a hasty look at the other tables. "Also, don\'t tell anyone else, okay?"
Thankfully, since the trio has been obnoxious and loud this whole time, everyone else has begun to ignore them completely. Letting off a sigh of relief, Asuka turned back to the party. After being rejected by Asuka, Maya was curled up pouting in her chair, Maggie on the other hand seemed just as excited as ever, as for Garth, he had just picked himself up and was caressing his head to recover from the pain.
"We\'ll keep it a secret, don\'t worry," Maggie assured, beaming a wide smile.
\'I need to gather information, master must be on his way here anytime soon.\' Closing her eyes, she reminded herself of her duties.
"Anyway, can I ask you guys a few questions? You know, since I\'m new here, I don\'t know that many people." Plastering a forced smile, she glanced at each of them for an answer.
"You barely touched any of the food, but still taught our mage how to use healing magic, so it\'s the least we can do, right?" Maggie replied and the other two nodded.
As soon as Asuka\'s lips parted to ask a question, a drunken man abruptly slammed his mug onto their table. Shocked by the incident and the loud thump it produced, everyone instinctively jerked back into their chairs, except for Garth who leaned a bit too further and fell on his back again.
"What the hell?!" Springing up on her feet, Maggie complained.
"Maggie!" Grabbing Maggie\'s garb, Maya tried to pull her away from the man.
Dressed in a leather tunic with chain mail armor, the drunken man leaned closer toward Asuka. With his amber eyes inches away from her face, she could smell the booze on the drunken ginger. The smile on Asuka\'s face quickly disappeared, in its place rested a deep frown on her forehead.
"What do you want?" She mumbled.
Annoyed by the sudden interruption, the light in her eye quickly dimmed out. Resonating with a sense of dread, her eyes grew void of any visible emotions.
"I-I can show y-you around, I-I\'ll answer your questions," Creepily smiling, the man leaned further for a kiss.
Slapping his face, Asuka pushed him away from the table.
"You want me to handle this?" Drawing his shield Garth offered to help.
"I\'ll be back…" Leaving everyone surprised, Asuka got up from the chair and held the drunken man\'s hand. "Don\'t worry, I can handle myself."
\'How dare he try to kiss me?! I\'ll tear him apart! I\'ll kill him! Only master can do those things to me!\' Even though her blood was boiling in rage, she couldn\'t let it be known to the trio since they could still be of great use to her master.
"Charm" Glaring right into the drunken man\'s eyes, Asuka used the special ability of a demi-human fox. Although she had vowed never to use the hypnotic ability again, she could no longer control her action.
\'As long as he\'s under my charm, it shouldn\'t matter if he\'s a higher level or not.\' In the Feral lands, demi-human foxes were notorious for using charm to turn any threat into mindless puppets infatuated by their beauty.
"Oh! If you see another mercenary looking around for me, can you keep him company until I return?" Nodding to Asuka\'s request, the unlucky clover kept their mouths shut. Despite being new to the whole adventuring business, they knew better than to question someone with a soulless look in their eyes.
"Ha! Ha! I-I knew you\'d like me," The man uttered hiccupping as he spoke.
Drowning her rage, Asuka kept on smiling. Guiding the man towards the guild\'s entrance, she took him out of the building. Clinging to her body, the man was easily escorted by Asuka to a nearby dark alley away from all the ruckus.
Upon setting foot into the shadows, Asuka quickly transformed into her demonic form and wrapped her tail around his neck. The man\'s eyes widened in shock as her tail choked the air out of him. Watching him wheezing for air, Asuka\'s heart raced in a thrilling rhythm. And soon enough as his face turned a gruesome blue her anger turned to glee, urging her to push the limits of his tolerance for pain further and further.
"Unfortunately, I can only gain level through sexual contact, but I can\'t even bear to look at your pathetic face much less do anything like that," Assessing a way to make use of the bastard, Asuka ran into a crazy yet depraved idea. "I know what to do with you. Since you were being so clingy to that fake body of mine, why don\'t you let your desires out and jerk off until you die? It\'s bad to keep your feelings suppressed, you know? Ahaha!"
Her eyes glowed a striking violet as he gave the man his death sentence. Despite being chocked by her tail, his hand traveled into his tunic.
\'I just need to touch him anywhere while he drains himself to death.\' From what she could gather, the main difference between a succubus and an incubus was that an incubus needs to have sex for draining levels, but when it came to succubuses all they had to do was to touch their victims while their minds were corrupted. However, unlike incubuses, succubuses couldn\'t copy abilities from their victims.
\'That\'s fine though, I doubt this fool has any useful abilities.\'
Squeezing his windpipe with her tail, she watched the man\'s eyes pop right out of his skull. Had it been her former self, she would\'ve been petrified by the sight, but having turned into a demonic being, she bore no sympathy for any disgusting depraved humans. If anything, it thrilled her to watch them suffer. And forcing them to march themselves to their death through bodily pleasure, only gave the torture that much more of an exciting climax.
\'Level up!\' The announcement rang, as the drunken man\'s eyes dangled and his hands continued to piston.
\'I can\'t wait to give master all the levels I gain from this!" Smiling to herself, Asuka couldn\'t wait to be reunited with her master.
