At that moment, everyone looked at the demon lord that had come through the door.

Even the two commentators were no exception––it wasn’t that they didn’t recognize who it was but rather that they were very curious about what this fellow looked like?

E-sports had been in existence for so many years. The random summoning information was actually very detailed. For example, all kinds of spirits to elves to Michael, the blazing angel, could be summoned from the gate of heaven. There was over a page of long data on Michael with three portraits of his front, back, and profile. For example, the strongest thing that could come out of the six gates was the goddess Shiva (the embodiment of Shiva), and Achilles, the demigod, could also come out of the gate to Olympus. All of them had information pages...

Therefore, in fact, there were images of all three demon lords that could come out of the demonic gate. Of course, the most popular one was the succubus queen––

However, how could a 2D portrait have the same sense of realism as a 3D version?

When the succubus queen came out of the gate, her super long, blood red ID, ‘Succubus Queen, Malcanthet, 570th layer of hell, the Lord of Tanali’ first appeared, followed by a hoof... Indeed, a succubus’s original form had sheep’s hooves, ox horns, a human body, fairy ears, bat wings, and a devil’s tail.

Fortunately, the succubus queen had just stretched out her leg in its original form before instantly completing her transformation, her legs turning long and pale, revealing a delicate human thigh.

When she appeared fully, she was a gorgeous beauty with a height of 1.7 meters and F-cup breasts. Her collar was open down to her navel, and it looked like her chest was ready to spring out from either side. The high slit in the cheongsam-like garment perfectly displayed her two beautiful legs, and her waist was wrapped with her only weapon––a fine, gold whip.

In the instant that she appeared, she triggered a frenzied series of wolf cries from the audience. It was probably the first time that the roar of the male audience had completely crushed the screams of the female audience.

As soon as the succubus had appeared, both players paused for a second.

This was not because they had been enraptured, but because, the system had determined that the Queen’s charisma was a forced control skill––which meant that even if the player had been blind, they would still have been stunned for a second and forced to be ‘bewildered by beauty’.

Similar to this passive ability was the succubus queen’s ability to ‘enchant humans’. It was also a forced control skill that could be activated in an instant and lasted up to 12 seconds. Only when the player took damage would they be released from the skill.

The succubus queen’s eyes moved around, and she didn’t pay any attention to the card summoner beside her as she turned straight towards the master assassin.

The commentator said, “This summoned creature is really unlucky for Odin. Goddess’s SSS level luck has kicked in again! In fact, the succubus’s combat power is very low, but Her Majesty has eight control skills. As long as she is willing, she can control a player for one continuous minute, making it so that they can’t move at all...”

To tell the truth, this demon lord with the control skills was really a great threat to Odin, even more so than the fire demon, who’d only known how to fight.

At this time, the card summoner, who’d been left ignored to the side, was sweating as he ran away from the succubus queen using the last two seconds of time on his wings. He had no thoughts about attacking Odin at all––if he attacked, Odin would recover from the control skill immediately.

The commentator: “Goddess wisely chose to stay away from the limelight and keep his head down... He drew three cards, and then drew another one, my god! It’s the double card effect, he’s drawn another two cards...”

Goddess could draw more cards once every two seconds when he had less than 70% health. He’d drawn a total of three times.

The large crowd of spectators watched this scene in astonishment.

The queen raised her head and flicked out her beautiful red tongue. She seemed to want to lick Lord Four, then she bit off his mask with her teeth and looked into Odin’s cold eyes for a while.

At this moment, the most beautiful face that the system could generate was directly opposite of the first beauty of the e-sports circle, causing a burst of noise to sweep over the artificial planet.

“Oh...”

The audience all fell into deep thought, “The succubus queen isn’t as beautiful as Odin...”

“Fake is fake. There is no way for it to be as natural as a real beauty. The system also feels that life is very difficult!”

“How the hell can this succubus queen charm Odin?! If Odin had really been so shocked by her beauty, wouldn’t he die on the spot whenever he gets up and looks in the mirror every day?!!”

At this time, the succubus queen giggled, licked her lips, and made a sucking action towards Odin’s lips. She approached gradually––

A succubus’s kiss! It would steal the maximum amount of HP!

In the moment before the damage could be inflicted, the compulsive charm effect had finally lifted.

The short sword, Song of Triumph, came out instantly, mercilessly drawing out a sword flower and forcing the succubus queen into retreat!

The succubus queen had been unable to kiss him directly, but when she fanned out her demonic wings for a rapid retreat, she swept her index finger over her red lips and gave an endless peal of laughter.

The unruly audience also hissed in disappointment, “I really wanted to see it! Damn, I really wanted to see Lord Four being forced into a kiss!!”

“Pa!!!”

There was a crack in the middle of the audience. Victor was expressionless as he squeezed the beverage can into a lump of waste.

At this moment, the card summoner, who was off in the distance, had seven cards in his hand. After Odin had gotten rid of the control state, he headed towards him with a flash while the succubus queen, who’d spread her wings to fly backwards, gracefully sent out a kiss.

A succubus’s show of love, a remote control ability.

Odin, who was in the middle of his flash, didn’t turn at all as he flicked out a blade. There was a ‘clang’, and then, the invisible kiss was directly dispersed into mist.

In front of him, Goddess had tossed out several cards from between his fingers:

Summon: Three-headed dog!

Summon: Angel spirit!

Summon: Scorpion-tailed lion!

A total of 6 summoned creatures completely covered the space in front of him, and then, Goddess used another card: Sacrifice, summon: Black dragon bodyguard!

With a scream, all six summoned creatures were sacrificed to death, and then, a half-dragon man with black dragon scales suddenly charged into battle.

Commentator: “This isn’t wise! Right now, it’s more important to have quantity over quality! He has to stop Lord Four first!”

As soon as his voice fell, they saw Odin flash again, bypassing the black dragon bodyguard in an instant.

The black dragon bodyguard flashed as well, using the system skill, ‘Twinkle’, instantly coming in front of Odin once again.

Then, they heard a sharp cry. It was the sound of Odin’s short sword that had been prepared ahead of time. This light-speed combo immediately broke apart the black dragon guard’s spear, and then, the cold light of his dagger flashed––

Goddess retreated immediately!

The commentator shouted, “The summoner is under attack! This attack is very fierce, taking away 15% of Goddess’s...”

At this time, Goddess’s health had already dropped to half. He threw out two cards at the same time:

Ice shield!

Special summoning, Abyss blood river!

All of a sudden, the entire scene changed. A river made of blood rushed across the Roc’s back like a ferocious wound that had suddenly split open.

The seven corpses that had been left behind before, including that of the little devil, fell directly into the river of blood, forming seven small cocoons. Every time the blood in the river washed over them, they pulsed and expanded––

Once these souls fell into the abyss of blood, they would be reborn as larvae, and the larvae would soon evolve into demons of a different race.

This was the principle of how demons were born in the abyss.

At first, Odin was expressionless, but when he saw the river of blood, his eyebrows drew together slightly, his dark golden eyes showing cold and piercing murderous intent.

The master assassin hated evil demons. Of course, he hated succubi the most.

At this time, the demon summoning gate was still operating, and several lower level demons that had come out were now being controlled by the succubus queen, devoted to guarding her.

The succubus queen was still staring at Odin in interest, and her red tongue kept flicking out as though it were a snake catching the scents in the air. The latest Roc feather was in her hands, and she played with it constantly as though saying: Come, come after me, and I’ll give it to you...

She was extremely beautiful but lacked vitality. Although she didn’t have the soul-stirring looks of a real succubus queen, she had the ability to force a charmed state, thanks to the system.

––This was all cheating!

––This card summoner kept summoning the most annoying things!

Odin suddenly felt a great dissatisfaction with the Emperor of Europe’s SSS level luck.

Goddess threw out another 6 cards in one go. After having drawn cards again, he kept the remaining two cards and stood behind the black dragon guard, watching the situation nervously.

The succubus queen waved the fine gold whip in her hand. She pulled her wings back and walked slowly towards Odin with cat-like steps. She wasn’t dressed fully, and she licked her index finger seductively as she stared at Odin, using another of the succubus queen’s control skills. As long as she looked at people, they would be charmed every two seconds.

There was a whisper of sound as Odin placed Deep Silence and Song of Triumph back into their scabbards, heading towards the succubus queen.

The succubus queen’s blood-colored eyes opened in excitement, and then, the thin whip danced instantly, attacking Odin’s neck.

It was right at this second though that Odin suddenly jumped up into the air, starting up his flash in mid-air and arriving in front of the succubus queen in an instant, starting up his Shadow Dance!

“Ah...” The succubus queen gave a very charming low cry, then quickly counterattacked. Her long tail slashed across the air in front of her enemy, and only then did she find that the other party hadn’t come close to attack. She suddenly looked back at Odin––

Charm!

However, the control skill had come up empty. Odin’s dagger had come out of its sheath, winding behind her like lightning. In that instant, he had managed to block this gaze with its snow-white blade just in time.

Afterwards, Odin didn’t look back and used flash to get away from the succubus queen once again. At this time, the feather in his left hand suddenly turned into a cyan, gold light, disappearing in a stream––it was the Roc feather that he’d just stolen from the demon’s hand.

Odin flapped his wings and flew up into the sky in an instant. He didn’t look at the succubus queen, who’d failed at a second ‘courtship’, and aimed straight at Goddess instead.

“Alas...” The audience was filled with sighs, lamenting that the world wasn’t chaotic enough. “This succubus queen’s ability to seduce men just isn’t very good! Odin’s brain is still full of chasing after Goddess!”
