[Vol. 5] Chapter 90: Enchanting Fragrance

 

Trying to save Eudora’s life by directly converting her into a demon is actually much simpler than removing the influence of the demon factor.

 

All that’s needed is to strengthen her physique to ensure the girl can hold out until the end.

 

“【Shared Battle Covenant】.”

 

An invisible connection extended from the black-haired girl and accurately penetrated Eudora’s delicate and frail body. The latter’s rapidly fading aura instantly halted, then suddenly surged!

 

Although Eudora’s low level and poor attributes limited the boost she could receive from the 【Shared Battle Covenant】, this level of enhancement was sufficient to bear the burden required for her racial transformation.

 

Of course, while 【Shared Battle Covenant】 is convenient, it’s ultimately just a skill commonly used during battle to increase attributes, and it doesn’t have any healing effects. Although Eudora could now endure the strain of the physical transformation, the injuries she had sustained earlier had not disappeared.

 

Therefore…

 

“Beginner Heal.”

 

A touch of golden light fell from the girl’s fingertips, slowly soaking into Eudora’s flat chest, which showed no signs of life.

 

As mentioned before, Eudora is just an ordinary person who hasn’t even reached level 5, or to be more realistic, she’s likely at level 1. After all, she is young, and her physique is very weak.

 

Before the demonization is complete, even with the boost from the 【Shared Battle Covenant】, her health points are still extremely limited.

 

Therefore, Violet deliberately chose to use a beginner-level healing spell that she hadn’t used in a long time, a spell that couldn’t even qualify as a first-tier magic, to avoid the negative effects of overhealing.

 

It was almost visible to the naked eye—the girl’s pale complexion rapidly flushed with color, even gradually turning an unusual shade of crimson.

 

The dark purple patterns spreading across her body also began to solidify. Although it seemed like there was a bit of excess healing, overall, it should still be within an acceptable range.

 

However, as Eudora’s demonic horns continued to grow, her hair visibly turning a light pink, and especially when the small bat wings sprouting from her back and the increasingly long black tail came into view, Miss Violet, who was maintaining the 【Shared Battle Covenant】 and silently monitoring the girl’s condition, finally noticed that something was off.

 

Wait a minute… This appearance… Isn’t it kind of like…

 

“Gulp…”

 

Out of nowhere, a faintly suggestive sound of someone swallowing echoed from beside her.

 

“Miss… Miss Dawn…? Did the room get warmer? It’s winter, so why… do I feel a little hot?”

 

“Eh… Eh?!”

 

Accompanied by gradually strange moans, Theresa, with a slightly unusual tone, startled Violet.

 

With sudden, unsettling thoughts flashing through her mind, the priestess quickly turned her head, only to find that at some point, the green-haired girl had already leaned in close.

 

Her somewhat inexperienced face had turned a bit rosy, her eyes slightly hazy, and her agile little pink tongue instinctively licked her cherry lips, exhaling waves of heated breaths carrying a distinct fragrance.

 

Oh crap, no way!

 

Eudora’s lineage… Damn it! She’s actually a succubus!

 

Perhaps during the process of transforming from human to demon, the excess healing caused the girl’s body to emit a large amount of unique… unspeakable pheromones.

 

Coupled with the fact that Violet had amplified Eudora’s attributes through the 【Shared Battle Covenant】, its effects deepened, unconsciously affecting Theresa, who was in the same room, breathing in the succubus’s scent, and had relatively low resistance.

 

“Hehe… Miss Violet is so cute… smells so nice, so soft… Wait, this is strange. Why is my heart beating so fast? What is this impulse…”

 

It seemed that Theresa wasn’t entirely without resistance to this either. She quickly realized something was wrong with her, but to be honest, if impulses could be easily overcome, they wouldn’t be called instinctual reactions.

 

Moreover, succubi are the type of demons most skilled at stirring human emotions. The pheromones they release at such critical moments naturally have an especially powerful effect.

 

The key, however, lies in Theresa’s own state of mind.

 

The evidence was clear: though she seemed hesitant, the green-haired girl’s slightly flushed face and her youthful, energetic body continued to inch closer to the bewildered priestess, her hazy eyes fixed on her, and their moist cherry lips nearly touched.

 

The green-haired girl couldn’t focus on the situation around her and even forgot to call her Dawn.

 

At that moment—

 

“Hey, aren’t you… underestimating me a bit too much?”

 

A slender, pale hand grabbed Theresa by the collar from behind, lifting her as effortlessly as picking up a chick, despite her being nearly the same size. The air even carried a hint of icy warning as a cold voice followed.

 

“WHAT—DO—YOU—THINK—YOU’RE—DOING?”

 

“Eek!”

 

“Ahh!”

 

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. Theresa, who had been ensnared by the seductive atmosphere, and the priestess, who was startled by this unprecedented behavior, both snapped back to reality almost simultaneously.

 

Theresa, now fully alert, flailed her limbs in the air and shook her head vigorously as she tried to explain herself loudly.

 

“No! It’s not like that! I… I wasn’t planning on doing anything! It’s just that Miss Violet is so cute, I couldn’t help but want to… get a little closer!”

 

“Get a little closer… that’s all?”

 

Repeating the panicked explanation of the green-haired girl, the dragon girl’s cold expression became even more peculiar.

 

The little dragon’s nose twitched as she sniffed the air. A heavy silence filled the room for a few moments before she finally let go of the blue-haired girl.

 

However, as if still unsatisfied, she pinched the girl’s soft cheeks several times, leaving behind some bright red marks.

 

“Hmph… Considering it was due to external interference, I’ll let it slide this time. Are you fully awake now?”

 

“Ouch! Ouch! I’m awake! Completely awake!!!”

 

“Ahem…”

 

After the dragon girl had finished teaching a lesson to the one who had tried to cross the line without knowing her limits, the priestess, still feeling a bit embarrassed, cleared her throat in a pretentious manner, adopting an aloof attitude as she spoke.

 

“Hmm, Xiao Guang, Theresa probably didn’t mean any harm, so don’t be too angry. She doesn’t have the same resistance to this sort of thing that we do…”

 

“……”

 

The dragon girl’s brilliant golden eyes shifted slightly, meeting the priestess’s silver-blue gaze for a moment.

 

Just when the priestess thought things might take a turn for the worse, and that her pet was truly about to lose her temper, Xiao Guang merely pouted slightly, showing a hint of dissatisfaction.

 

“Even if there was external influence, it wouldn’t have surfaced so suddenly if she wasn’t already harboring some improper thoughts. We’re all girls here, why didn’t she make a move on me or on that succubus? It’s because the Master is too lenient with people, which leads them to develop these unrealistic fantasies. You really should be more mindful.”

 

After finishing, the blonde girl turned around and waved at Theresa, whose cheeks were now bright red from being pinched and who looked utterly dejected.

 

“What are you standing there for? Do you want to stay here and inhale more of that scent? Come on, I’ll help you sort this out outside. Hmph, look at you, acting like a monkey in heat…”

 

“Ugh… I get it…”

 

It wasn’t until the two girls had disappeared outside that Violet finally snapped out of her mild shock. The embarrassment on her face gradually faded, and she looked at the door that the dragon girl had casually closed behind her, a small smile forming on her lips.

 

How surprising!

 

She never expected that Xiao Guang would have become so perceptive and able to control her emotions without her even noticing.

 

In a situation like that, if it had been when she first arrived in this world, and if Violet hadn’t intervened, the Bright Light Hotel might not have survived…

 

The priestess hadn’t forgotten the day she first met Lilya and the others. How her dragon had nearly incinerated an entire army with her dragon breath just because Scarlet Flame Flora had shot an arrow at her as a warning.

 

This child has really grown a lot, not only becoming more mature but also making new friends. Surely… even if she were to lose my protection one day, she’d be able to live well in this world on her own.

 

With these comforting thoughts, the girl naturally let the dragon girl’s warning slip from her mind.

 

What a truly incorrigible woman.
