Chapter 132 132 – The High Walls

Candice had to use her magic staff to support herself standing. Her mana and stamina had been drained after creating a giant dirt wall that contained the shapeshifters, the undeads, and the captives.

She just hoped those who were inside didn't do anything to let them escape. The walls she made were indeed quite thick.

The mage opened a small glass bottle filled with a dark blue liquid, then drank the contents until it was empty.

The bottle then fell from her hands and broke. She squeezed her chest, her face tightened, her eyes bulged, and her mouth let out a groan of pain.

Her body felt extraordinary energy. The weakness in her body also disappeared in an instant.

Never had she imagined that she would have to use forbidden potions like this again.

"Looks like I made the right decision to drink this." She chuckled at the sound of the flapping wings, then looked up to find a succubus already flying out over the top of the wall. "Hey, at least tell me your name, you pretty cunt with wings! I'm Candice!"

Xenora didn't answer and swooped down at Candice instead. The mage stamped her staff, sending chunks of dirt to the succubus.

Xenora managed to avoid most of it. However, one chunk had smashed into her body, throwing her against the wall of one of the buildings. She fell to the ground after that.

Even so, Candice remains wary. She wasn't sure she had won in such an easy way.

And Xenora then laughed. At first, it sounded normal. However, as she stood up, the laughter grew louder. "More, I want more!!! Give me more pain!!!"

She flew to Candice again, but the mage spawned a new, larger chunk of dirt in front of her. Xenora kicked that thing instead of hitting Candice.

And suddenly, some of the chunks became an arm and punched Xenora. The succubus flew backward to dodge.

The other chunks Candice had fired earlier flocked to the chunks with the hands. They condensed, formed a humanoid figure about seven feet tall, and had a massive build.

"To be honest, I just recently learned this technique." Candice grinned. "You have the first privilege to fight my golem."

"This is getting interesting!" The succubus laughed again, then flew toward Candice a third time.

The golem blocked Xenora's path and gave the succubus a combination of punches. Xenora avoided all of that, but she became far away from Candice.

And the mage then fired chunks of dirt again, making Xenora even more overwhelmed.

The golem managed to punch Xenora in the face and stomach, sending her flying again, then rolling on the marble.

"Give up, succubus," Candice said. "A lowlife like you can't fight me."

Even though she looked healthy, the mage still endured the pain in her chest from the effects of the forbidden potion. That makes her talk a lot. It's to buy time, so she can have a little break. Every time she used her mana, her pain multiplied.

Xenora spat blood from her mouth, lifted her bruised face, and laughed again. Her eyes bulged like they were about to pop out of their sockets, and her mouth was wide open.

Yeah, as usual, the pain made the succubus feel a lot of power.

Candice feels a chill down her spine. At that moment, she realized she wasn't fighting an ordinary demon.

"Good! Give me more pain!!!" Xenora lunged at the golem again, attacking the earth doll with even faster movements than before. This time she managed to kick her enemy several times.

However, none of her attacks had any effect on the golem. Instead, She received fist after fist from her enemy, decorating several parts of her body and face with purple bruises.

And, of course, instead of getting weaker, the succubus went crazier in her attacks. Her kicks and knee strikes got faster. The variety of her movements also increases. Meanwhile, Candice found it more difficult to control her earthen doll.

The pain was getting unbearable.

"Keep attacking me! Give me more of this pain!!!" Xenora just kept laughing aloud like a madman.

"You crazy bitch…." The mage's breath began to falter. The longer it is, the more difficult it is for her to manage the mana in her body.

In contrast to Xenora, Candice's pain greatly affected her fighting ability.

​ And finally, Xenora's kick severed one of the golem's arms. Candice could only watch in despair.

She had been waiting for reinforcements to arrive, but it seemed the royal troops were still struggling with chaos far away.

"Could you rest first, bitch!" The mage shouted, and her ears heard something collapsing right after that.

When she looked at the giant earthen wall she had made earlier, the mage found a large hole, and those who were inside had started to come out.

Candice was too focused on fighting Xenora and didn't realize that the undead had dug into the earthen wall. The mage thought the wall was quite dense and hard, so it would be hard to break.

She was about to build a new wall to block them. But having just cast a spell in her brain, she felt like her chest was pierced by thousands of needles.

That's when the mage knew she had gone too far past her limit.

Xenora laughed for the umpteenth time. "Hey! This is getting boring!!!!!! Give me more pain!!!"

The succubus then gave a combination kick to the golem's body, knocking the earthen doll off balance and staggering backward.

With the last of her strength, Candice moved her golem to catch Xenora's wings. Then, the earthen doll threw the succubus as far as it could.

This time Xenora's body hit a window on the second floor of a building.

Instead of continuing its attack, the golem grabbed the mage and carried her while running. Several shapeshifters and undeads fired arrows at them, but none of that had any effect on the earthen doll.

Candice kept clutching her chest, and she was having more trouble breathing.

"I'm sorry, Velvet." She hissed, holding back tears from the pain. "I can't do my job."

No one was chasing them. Xenora and the shapeshifters were busy getting their captives out of that place.
