The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 616: Gathering of Those Who Are Single

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

“Didina the Fortunate” lived a life that her fellow succubi were incredibly envious of as she was the ruler of the Bloody Arena. Not only did she have authority, the addictive feeling of being at the top was something those in authority would never be able to give up.

Didina didn’t need to suck up to anyone in order to become a ruler. Many succubi viewed her as their idol. Didina’s harem also contained many other succubi… in the past.

Have the perceptive readers noticed something off? At any rate, succubi weren’t limited to only targeting males.

What was the sexual preference of succubi? This had always been a mystery. However, succubus was also a type of job class that other demons could evolve to and enter, and when demons evolved their physical bodies, they were capable of changing their gender. Males were more suited to physical combat, which was why the majority of demons were male. Then, in order to seduce the males who were in power, it was only natural that more than 99% of all succubi were females. As for whether Didina’s soul had originally been male or female when she had only been an ordinary demon… Let’s not pry too deeply into certain matters. Yep, everything was Lucifer’s fault!

The demons were also proof that if every single individual out there was capable of voluntarily choosing their own gender… The male to female ratio would definitely become incredibly skewed, and all sorts of morals would likely go out the window.

Due to all of these ridiculous reasons, the succubi society had always been incredibly messy. The succubi had gotten used to it, and having fun was considered the most important.

Even in all the dimensions, succubi were uniquely different from other demons as they were truly enthralled by the concept of authority. They were naturally born skilled at approaching the powerful, seducing the powerful, and enslaving the powerful. Succubi were probably the most skilled species when it came to scheming and power struggles. Any human ruler’s palace that had a succubus hidden within would probably meet with calamity sooner or later… Why did this all feel like succubi were actually the main characters of Chinese palace concubine television dramas? Cough, cough, I had to be having a mistaken impression! I shouldn’t be making comparisons like that.

Didina’s harem back in the day had more than three hundred succubi at one point… Just think about it. If there were more than three hundred female leads all skilled at scheming and palace infighting within the same palace, just how glorious would that scene be? Today, a concubine’s child would mysteriously suffer miscarriage (just how did she get pregnant in the first place?), tomorrow some servant would mysteriously crash into the ruler’s favorite concubine, and similar scenes would be occurring tens of times simultaneously. Even the famous detective Conan would probably be unable to find the truth… And even if he could find the truth, it would still probably be meaningless.

Cough, cough, I should probably stop referencing things from my original world. Getting back on topic, while this would probably be a fun drama to watch if you weren’t a part of it, having such drama occur on a daily basis by your side would probably be extremely tiring. Even a True God would probably be unable to take it, not to mention how rare it was for a succubus to achieve such a high status.

The final result was that Didina kicked out every single member of her harem. She even said a sentence that became a famous phrase in the Bloody Arena.

“It’s best to be single, it’s best to be single…”

Well, probably in at least this area, she would truly resonate with Roland.

After Didina kicked out her harem, she did something that no other succubus could understand or was capable of—she remained single for a full one hundred years! This actually caused Didina’s popularity to rise even further among the succubi.

“The way she restrains her lust is so icy and alluring!”

Cough, cough, don’t misunderstand. Succubi were skilled at creating sex addicts, but they weren’t actually sex addicts themselves. The correct way to translate this sentence would be: “it’s so difficult to conquer her, so successfully conquering Didina will feel like even more of an achievement!”

And so, Didina now commonly “met with beauties” whenever she went out. Her nightmare carriage would always mysterious crash into some beautiful woman who suddenly jumped out from behind a corner, she would always meet some beautiful woman who had “forgotten” her umbrella when it was raining, or there would be an old man who “just happened” to have a beautiful daughter begging for her help…

Some bored person had once calculated the frequency of such occurrences. On average, Didina would meet with such beauties approximately 120 times per year. The scenes were actually quite varied and different each time, although newcomer succubi to the city would occasionally repeat old scenes. Watching the city ruler’s luck with women also became one of the biggest entertainment activities in the Bloody Arena together with the Blood Fate Clock’s hunt, and as time passed, the Bloody Arena became the Chaos Abyss city with the highest succubi population of all.

Originally, Didina was also amused by all of this. However, over the past few days, she had been in no mood to go out and enjoy herself.

Due to a certain reason, Didina’s palace had now been closed for three consecutive days, refusing all visitors. Her mood had been terrible for all this time. Only the hunt at noon each day would make her feel a small amount of pleasure.

“Come, let me see what people will become our prey today.”

Didina had short purple hair and tiny fiery red horns. Her snake-like forked tongue was gently licking her red lips. Even though she was wearing extravagantly formal attire, this attire combined with her mature beautiful female face which was red with desire made her seem demonically beautiful.

Didina was fully focusing on the giant crystal ball before her. Under the Blood Fate Clock’s bloody illumination, the unfortunate individuals with blood-red lights above them were doing their best to run for their lives.

“Hurry and catch that little brat! Haha, her head was shattered!”

But suddenly, Didina’s beautiful eyes focused on a solo hunter. This individual had just cleanly slain a rather powerful inferno giant who was one of the twelve targets.

“…I want that hunter. He reminds me of the two-headed gorilla demon from fifty years ago. That was truly enjoyable. He was such a monster. Perhaps I should properly reward this hunter tomorrow in my personal method…”

Didina’s face was pinkish-red from excitement, making her seem even more demonic.

“…How long will he howl in pain before he dies as I slice off his flesh bit by bit? I’m really looking forward to it.”

The hunters who arrived at Didina’s palace for their rewards in slaying the twelve targets would always mysteriously vanish. Most people thought that they had taken the ruler’s rewards and run away from this city. However, few knew that Didina’s personal dungeons actually contained countless bones of the strong that attracted her interest.

Succubi were also a species of demons, and it was in demon nature to love slaughter. There were plenty of methods out there to find food for a Void Devourer. It would be quite easy to take care of the Void Devourer’s food requirements just by sending out a small team of demons. Using a method like choosing twelve random targets to be hunted down every day was far more for entertainment than efficiency. In fact, it was mostly to satisfy Didina’s own desires.

Perhaps it was simply good luck that she had obtained the Void Devourer. However, obtaining power didn’t always represent being able to easily obtain anything else. Many demons would choose to evolve into succubi in order to avoid battles. However, Didina voluntarily joined the bloodiest fights in the Chaos Abyss. Having reached her level, Didina was truly an anomaly among succubi… And to be honest, even though her personal power level couldn’t compare to true Demon Lords’, she wasn’t much weaker than them.

“Didina the Bloodthirsty” was the nickname given to her by those who truly knew what she was like. But, Didina was someone “smart” who far preferred the nickname “Didina the Fortunate”. That was because this nickname would cause others to underestimate herself. As for slaughter and so on, she could simply have her pet take care of that for her.

However, today’s hunt seemed to have poor luck. Didina’s once-a-day leisure event ended far too quickly. She hadn’t had enough fun watching yet when the twelve unlucky targets were all hunted down and the game ended.

Didina was still far from satisfied at this time…

And so, she rang the blood-colored bell again, without realizing that she was tolling for her own doom.

“Eh? What’s that target? A Holy Knight? Wonderful! I’m so lucky, that’s such an exotic species! I’m truly Didina the Fortunate!”

But for some strange reason, on Didina’s blood-colored crystal, the blond-haired Holy Knight who released Holy Light from his hands was looking up at the sky as if he could see Didina.

“Can he see me? Impossible!”

However, what happened next forced her to believe he could indeed see her. The blond-haired Holy Knight suddenly released a powerful pillar of Holy Light that reached the clouds. Right after that, several powerful individuals released their auras in Didina’s city. She sensed that none of them would be weaker than her.

“Five powerful auras? How is this possible! Why didn’t I receive any news of such powerful individuals!?”

And when all these powerful individuals started moving together, it was quite obvious whom they were targeting and where they were heading. They were all targeting Didina, who was in the center of the city!

“Damn it, if only Victor was still here…”

Victor was the name that Didina had given to her Void Devourer. The reason why Didina had been in such a foul mood over the past three days was because Victor had suddenly been kidnapped three days ago… Well, a more accurate word might be that he had eloped. This was because a certain legendary man had taken the Void Devourer with him.

“Damned Beifeng Herault, why couldn’t you have stayed behind in the mortal plane to cause havoc there!! Why did you come to the Chaos Abyss!! One day, I swear I’ll slowly strip all the flesh off your body…”

Didina viciously cursed the Dracon who had caused her Void Devourer to elope as she swiftly prepared to escape. She was no idiotic Berserker Demon who only knew how to fight until the end.

“As expected, this was a preplanned ambush against me. All of this is a scheme targeted at me!”

Multiple powerful individuals had successfully infiltrated her city without her realizing it. A strange individual had successfully convinced her pet to leave her. This ambush came right when her pet wasn’t by her side. Didina felt that she had seen through everything with all these clues.

“Once I figure out who planned this scheme, who managed to invite this living top 10 Calamity Rankings monstrosity… No matter who it is, I, Didina the Bloodthirsty, shall return this favor three times over!”

Didina unhesitatingly opened up her secret passage leading outside the city. As long as she could find her pet again, she would be able to reclaim the position of the city’s ruler. But if she died, that would be the end.

*Crack!*

However, the walls that suddenly shattered revealed visitors, which told her she was too late.

A gold-winged Holy Knight blocked her path, while a red-haired swordsman appeared by her side. A tiny red dragon with powerful magic wavelengths aimed her mouth directly at Didina, and an archmage also arrived through a dimensional tear.

Didina realized that she had nowhere to escape to.

“Damned bastards, you actually had that person kidnap my baby! You all dared to use Beifeng against me, do any of you have any conscience or moral boundaries whatsoever!?”

Didina was only instinctively venting her anger. However, the blond-haired Holy Knight’s expression suddenly distorted and he suddenly backed away upon hearing Beifeng’s name. It was as if he wanted to run away instantly.

Right after that, the Holy Knight changed his expression to a serious one, perhaps feeling that his behavior was far too embarrassing.

“No, I don’t know him. I’ve never heard of anything called Beifeng, nor would I ever use a Beifeng! We’re just here to ask for directions. We’ll be leaving soon. Right, little succubus, do you know how to reach the Sun God’s Divine Kingdom?”

Even though succubi weren’t particularly skilled liars, Didina still knew that the Holy Knight was just spouting rubbish. Everyone knew Beifeng’s name by now. Furthermore, this Holy Knight was asking her how to reach the God of Holy Light’s Divine Kingdom? Wasn’t this the same meaning as “I’ll send you to heaven” or “Evil, let me cleanse you”!?

“No, please don’t kill me, at least not today! I’ve already been single for one hundred years! I don’t want to die as a succubus who’s still single! At the very least, let me find a lover before I die!”

Even though this was just a random excuse that Didina came up with, she saw that the blond Holy Knight seemed mysteriously moved as if he was about to cry.

However, his reply was rather confusing.

“Don’t even think about it. As a veteran fire mage, I’m going to burn all heterosexuals to death! You’ve been single for one hundred years already, but still want to leave us? Dream on!”

Even though he was clearly a Holy Knight, he was burning up with passion for a mysterious reason. The other powerful individuals around him seemed like they didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“No, I’m not heterosexual! Ah, no…!”

Didina’s next words were said without consideration. She was scared to the point of breaking out into a cold sweat after realizing what she just said.

For any traditional believer of Holy Light, being homosexual was considered one of the greatest desecrations most deserving of the death penalty.

However, that Holy Knight actually inconceivably smiled and nodded at her as if his earlier viciousness was just an illusion.

“You’re not heterosexual? There’s no problem, then! You’re allowed to stop being single!”
