Lucian was completely oblivious to all the chaos in the outside world.
He closed his eyes and leaned back against the cold stone bricks. The feeding that took place in the morning gave him enough energy to allow him to stay in this secret passage for a long time in a relatively safe posture.
He tried to introduce the remaining aura into the anklet. After spending time studying the blueprint, the complete spell circuit of the anklet had already appeared in his mind. While he was amazed at Wade's creativity, he was also proud of his analytical ability and memory.
Others can't do what he does.
The breath flowed carefully in the magic circuit. Lucian closed his eyes, bit his lip, and tried his best to feel every bend and detour. He had no time to think about Wade or escape, and only devoted himself to the process of unlocking.
Finally, he heard a slight "click".
Lucian seemed to have lost all his strength, and he leaned against the stone bricks. The opened anklets slid down from his ankles to the ground, and he stretched his calves, breathing slightly.
It was not until then that he realized that the sweat caused by nervousness had wet his temples and flowed down his cheeks to his chin.
The two forces flowed back into his body, and Lucian squinted his eyes comfortably.
The first kind of power is the magic that humans master. It is like a spring spring flowing into dry blood, and the feeling of being filled with power again makes Lucian feel comfortable and warm. The third kind of power is faintly cold, like the Styx under the moonlight. It is like a vine, sprouting very slowly and subtly, and starting to climb.
—That is the magic power belonging to the demons, or perhaps, the magic power of the succubus.
—A very strange magic.
Lucian frowned and looked at his palm. He could not control this subtle magic power for the time being, but this kind of spell was enough for him to use. With a flick of his slender fingers, a bright flame appeared at his fingertips.
A little trick with lighting.
An irrepressible feeling of joy surged in his heart. Lucian covered his mouth, trying not to laugh out loud.
He could finally escape from Vader's castle!
Grasslands, deserts, oceans, snow-capped mountains... places where Wade doesn't exist, here he comes!
He did what he said. Lucian got up from the ground and tied up his messy red hair. When he looked at the anklet, he smiled and flicked out a ball of fire to burn the runes on it.
He would not leave any room for Wade to capture him back and seal off his magic power.
Lucian walked out through the secret passage. Wade's boots were a little too big for him, and he felt a little uncomfortable wearing them.
At this moment, he was in the secret passage that was sealed by a stone door at the end. Compared with other secret passages, the mechanism of this secret passage was the most secret. In addition, the most dangerous place was the safest place. Even if Wade had caught the peeper, he might not have known the fact that he had returned.
- And Lucian remembered that before seeing off Lady Elizabeth, there was a meeting between Weider and Duke Hall regarding his journey to the elves next month.
Lucian took a few steps, then remembered something and turned back.
He was indeed curious about the sealed room.
And now that he has regained his strength, there is nothing to worry about.
Without spending too much effort, Lucian reached the closed stone gate. There was still a smell from the stone gate that made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He closed his eyes, placed his hand on the stone door, and used his power to feel inside the stone door. As his spiritual power penetrated, he vaguely felt something.
It was huge and strong, surging like magma...
An ocean of light elements!
The contact with the light element through the stone slab made his bloodline belonging to the demon clan scream and want to escape, while his bloodline belonging to the celestial clan, which had been immersed in the Holy Temple for many years, longed for light and warmth.
Lucian's red eyes darkened, he wrapped himself in some kind of magic, formed a seal on the upper body, and opened a crack.
He looked inside along the seam.
The room blocked by the crack... turned out to be a confession room belonging to the royal family!
Lucian's vision was limited, so although he couldn't see clearly, he could still see the statue of the God of Light, the altar for the confession, and the large blocks of light crystals inlaid on the wall. The strong light elements were leaked by these supreme and pure light crystals.
If the angels and feathers were here, they would only feel the holiness and the warmth of being cleansed. The demons would feel fear here, and the undeads would feel...
Lucian licked his lips and rolled his eyes.
He couldn't guarantee that Vader wouldn't catch up with him before he left the castle, and Vader really didn't care about the identity of "Emperor". So...
He took one last look at the confessional filled with light elements, and a new plan came to his mind.
A plan to make his escape journey safer and more effective.
However, the beginning of this case is extremely exciting. At the same time, if Vader has not yet discovered the fact that the peeper has returned, then he is equivalent to abandoning the method of lightning escape and doing a more thrilling and useless work.
But it's better to be prepared.
He opened the gap a little wider and walked towards the exit without looking back.
In his body, the huge amount of light elements input by the light crystal suppressed his succubus bloodline, and also faintly suppressed something that was awakening...
Unfortunately, Lucian was unaware of this at the moment.
Lucian came out of the secret passage. As expected, Wade's room was empty. Lucian, who had recovered his magic power, felt refreshed. He picked up a feather pen and wrote the word "bye" on the paper on the table.
—It's exciting to run after finishing the game, he thought.
Thinking of this, he turned around and was about to enter the tunnel leading to the bath. The bath was very close to the small door that Calvin was guarding, and he planned to start from here and then look for Calvin who was supposed to change shifts at this time.
However, when he was about to open the secret passage, Lucian's pointed ears twitched.
He vaguely heard the sound of a door opening from outside.
It was the sound of boots hitting the ground. But today's footsteps were heavier and slower than usual. It was as if the person who came could slow down his footsteps so that the people inside could hear them. It was like a hunter walking towards his prey, torturing it slowly.
His goal was obviously successful. Although he still had a plan in mind, the oppressive feeling of judgment still made Lucian sweat slightly on his neck.
It was unusual for Wade to return at this time. Logically, he should be in the study, waiting for Duke Hall to talk to him.
But at this moment he suddenly returned to the bedroom!
Then, there is only one possibility, that is... Lucian's fingertips trembled slightly.
Vader has discovered that he is "back"!
This was much faster than he had imagined. Could it be that the peeping Tom was indeed Wade's son
The situation was imminent and had to be resolved. Lucian knew how bad things would get once Vader knew he was "fooling" him.
But fortunately, he is the kind of person who always has a plan B.
Lucian made a prompt decision. He gave up the idea of opening the secret passage to the bathroom at the sound of footsteps from the opposite side, and instead headed towards the secret passage that he had found out, which led to the confessional.
Every step he took was in step with the footsteps of the opposite side. Lucian arrived at the secret passage, opened the mechanism, and leaned down. He entered the secret passage as if he was in a hurry to escape, and then...
He then heard the sound of the mechanism being pulled open to the other end.
At that moment, the entire secret passage shrank, and Lucian's slender waist was stuck at the entrance of the secret passage as the mechanism closed. He looked at the dark tunnel in front of him, closed his eyes, and knew that this was the place where he would have a fighting chance.
Despite the horror, he still heard Vader's voice coming from the end that was stuck below the waist.
"Long time no see." The man's voice was separated by a layer of stone wall, but it was more gloomy and had a sense of trying to suppress the interest of something, "Lucian."
Lucian couldn't see his face, but he could feel his hand moving to his ankle. "You untied the anklet so quickly? Not bad, you are indeed a good student of the Holy Academy. It seems that you have been busy with this matter since you came back?"
His fingers were cold, and they fell on the ankle that had been bound by the anklet, causing Lucian to shudder all over.
The plan was one thing, and confronting Wade was another. Lucian did feel the fear.
"... Not as good as you." He couldn't see Wade's face, and didn't know what he was doing on the other side. He just smiled as hard as he could, "You actually keep my body as a puppet... Why, is my body so beautiful? So beautiful that you can't bear to throw it away?"
There was a pause on the other side of the wall, and then an increasingly gloomy voice came out: "When did you come back? And these clothes... did you find them among my clothes?"
“Well… Anyway, it’s much earlier than you thought.” Lucian looked up when he noticed the other person’s fingers were landing on him. “Are you sure we should keep talking like this? If you want to reminisce about the past, why don’t we talk face to face—”
Lucian heard Wade laugh softly twice.
"No need." Wade said briskly, "I suddenly realized that your current posture is much cuter than the posture you showed to me."
Lucian: …
This psychopath.
"Tell me." Wade flicked his body with his fingers, "When did you come back?"
“Do I have an obligation to tell you?” After failing in his plan, Lucian changed his strategy and began to sneer, “You mean, you want to trap me here? I’ve been acting for so long, I’m also very tired... Damn!”
"You're crazy!" Lucian screamed in pain. He kicked Wade hard, but Wade grabbed his leg instead. "Asshole, you..."
With his kicks and beatings, the mechanism was finally opened. Lucian turned over when his body was free. He formed a seal with one hand and was about to use the burning magic on Wade's face, but Wade didn't avoid it at all, and directly pinched his face and kissed him!
This was probably the worst and craziest kiss Lucian had ever experienced in his life. His fingers pressed against Wade's face, where the skin was burned and bleeding, but Wade seemed to feel no pain, and he bit him against his sizzling cheek, vowing to make him bleed.
The gentle and lingering kisses of dozens of days disappeared, and Wade seemed to have returned to the time when he was in the temple, excited and bloodthirsty.
What the hell! Why is Wade crazy! Lucian thought with his eyes wide open.
He didn't even have any doubt that even if he stabbed his hand into Wade's heart at this moment, Wade would still rely on his limited strength to bite him madly!
Lucian bit him and struggled to fight him. Vader was like a madman, and he resisted with the fastest speed. They fought and rolled in the secret passage. Generally speaking, Lucian was slightly at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Vader had no tactical awareness like a madman, and he had no intention of killing, but just wanted to suppress Lucian. But Lucian's resistance angered him even more.
Finally, Lucian gained the upper hand. He sat astride Wade, pinning him down, and swiftly and fiercely thrust the ice blade in his hand into Wade's body.
His ice blade was blocked.
Lucian lowered his eyes, and what he saw was Wade with bones condensed on his body.
Vader became undead.
"I'm never careful with you for a moment." Wade's silver eyes stared at him gloomily.
The fighting power of the undead Vader was no longer the same as before. The cold gray mist seemed to penetrate into the bones, making every prey tremble. Lucian did not want to fight, he threw away the ice blade in his hand and ran deep into the secret passage.
He sped up, but Wade was faster. Seeing the cracked stone wall right in front of him, Lucian, who was originally "panicked", curled up the corners of his lips.
At the same time, Vader finally caught him from behind.
Lucian turned over and hugged him, and threw an explosion spell at him. The stone wall completely cracked at that moment, and Lucian hugged Wade tightly at this time, sealing his lips with his lips, and then...
With it coming at him, he fell into that confessional room.
Countless holy crystals glowed at that moment. The dark undead bloodline trembled and wailed under the attack of the huge amount of light elements.
Lucian crawled out from under Vader. Vader fell in the confessional, trembling all over. Gray fog gathered and dispersed around him, constantly protecting his body from the damage of the holy light and cracking. Under the illumination of a large number of holy crystals, he completely lost the power to move.
At the same time, Lucian was also trembling. The succubus bloodline in his body screamed at him to escape, but fortunately, the human bloodline gently wrapped him up, preventing him from getting hurt in the Saint Crystal.
"Cough, cough..." Lucian hugged his arms and leaned against the last stone wall. He spat out the blood from his broken tongue and looked down at Wade who was lying on the ground, completely overwhelmed by the light of the Saint Crystal. Finally, he opened his red lips and smiled.
"I. Win." He said word by word.
Wade shivered and tried to get up from the ground several times, but was always suppressed by the light of the Saint Crystal. He looked at Lucian not far away, his silver eyes were full of bloodshot and flames.
Lucian smiled fearlessly.
"How pitiful! It's a pity that you can't get up now. Even moving your fingers is very difficult, right?" Lucian moved his trembling fingers. "But in a few days, you should get used to this place. You are very strong, and you will be able to get out of here by then. But by then, I will have gone to another place."
He looked at Wade's lips, which seemed to be opening and closing with difficulty, as if he wanted to say something to him, and he smiled.
There was a bit of gentleness that was almost malicious in this smile. He squatted down, tapped Wade's forehead with his fingers and said, "Don't be so angry, you see, I've kissed you once, we're even! Be more generous, I've cooperated with you and kissed you so many times. In the end, I'm the one who lost."
"Lu...Xi...An..."
He heard Wade's voice as if it was squeezed out from between his bones.
Lucian curved his eyes, glanced at the black windbreaker on Wade, thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit cold today... How about this!"
He happily took off the black windbreaker from Wade. Wade lay on the ground, trying his best to raise his head, watching Lucian put on his windbreaker.
Lucian tied a knot on his belt and said, "I'm sorry that you have to lie here for so long, but the undead won't catch a cold. If I get sick, I won't be able to run fast. You have to understand me."
He saw that Wade's lips were moving quickly, so he lowered his head and asked, "What do you want to say?"
He listened for a while and deliberately answered: "Where to go... Well, I haven't decided yet, but no matter where I go, I have a lot of 'friends'. You know, I'm 'social'."
Seeing that Wade's face was almost on fire, he counted on his fingers and said, "Bright, Elizabeth, Duke of Rhine, elves, beastmen... everywhere. The prince of the demon tribe once said that he wanted to learn from me. Anyway, don't worry, I will always find a place to go. I burned the anklet so that you won't be reminded of it. Am I very kind?"
"Bye!" He waved to Wade and even blew him a kiss. "I'm leaving now. You have to live your life well!"
After saying this, he left the tunnel wearing Vader's windbreaker and walking briskly.
The door of the tunnel was closed by Lucian.
Behind him, in the confessional, Vader, who was suppressed by the Saint Crystal, kept watching the direction where Lucian left.
Blood almost seeped out of his silver eyes.
"Anklet..." He said in a hoarse voice, "Do you think you succeeded? You asked for it... Liar..."
As he spoke, he trembled, tried to move his fingers, and revealed an almost insane and gloomy smile.
Lucian didn't know that once he removed the magic seal on the anklet, his succubus bloodline would continue to awaken.
—And finally, transformed him into a "complete" one that survived on the succubus's "appetite".
Succubus.
