Chapter 406: The Legend of Lolth’s 108 Consecutive Victories

Although she sensed the tricky person’s methods and even their exact location, now Lolth just needed to walk over and simply open a box for them…

But of course, Lolth would not do that.

Neither she nor her teammates were affected… Why should she wade into this mess?

After all, she is just a simple "Elite Level warrior woman Kululu" now!

Moreover, Lolth has a very good reason not to make a move.

She can sense that others are "scanning" the surrounding Star Spirit Realm.

Without a doubt, more than one person has figured out how to find this lazy troublemaker.

It’s just that their methods seem a bit clumsy compared to Lolth’s.

Lolth didn’t scan at all.

As the Second Princess of the Succubus clan, even though she doesn’t study psychic spells, the entire Star Spirit Realm feels like her happy home.

One of the most common games that young girls of the Succubus clan play together is to "plant hints" and see who falls in love first.

The one who falls in love will be taken away by the winner to sleep.

As the Second Princess, Lolth has a legendary defense of one hundred and eight wins and one hundred and eight draws in the Succubus clan’s game of "subtle hints."

No succubus has ever won Lolth’s heart in this game!

Many of her peers in the succubus clan pretend to lose to Lolth, but she uncovers their tricks mercilessly.

"I haven’t even given you any hints… You just have a normal crush on me!"

"You think you can use this chance to make me sleep? Get out of here!"

So now, Lolth can tell at a glance what is happening with this guy who is trying to play games on Wild Boar Mountain.

Their disguise in the Star Spirit Realm is too clumsy.

They are not as clever as that youngest sister from her hometown, who always looks for trouble, cries during every encounter, yet never abandons or gives up on her.

Because of this, Lolth is very sure…

The other party is not the "mastermind" controlling the monsters.

Because no matter how poorly that guy disguises himself, he is still in disguise.

From the other party’s strength, he could absolutely not control so many high-level monsters.

Even though this person looks like he belongs to the "monster" group, the truth is just the opposite.

If he really were in league with the monster controller, he wouldn’t need to be so careful with his disguise!

After all, this group of mercenaries can’t see through him; who else does he need to guard against?

The answer is clear.

This person is just slacking off in the muddy water.

In other words, having these mercenaries start killing each other now is not what the true "mastermind" controlling the monsters wants to see.

The traitor who stirs up trouble and the guy hiding among the monsters might be working together, or they might not, but their goal is to make this group of mercenaries turn against each other and fight until they are hurt badly.

However, the one controlling the monsters only wants the mercenaries to gather here.

Otherwise… why don’t they just control the monsters to attack the mercenaries directly?

Why go through all this trouble—it’s not even that complicated, even for a cult ritual.

Lolth often hears many minstrels say that evil gods like to harvest "souls born from slaughter" or "souls filled with despair."

That’s just nonsense.

What difference can there be between a desperate soul and one that is not?

When the Superoperator dies, the soul might remain, but all those little emotions from their life will surely disappear.

If the differences were that big, everyone would have to train their extraordinary powers with emotions!

The evil god collects souls, but it doesn’t really use them like food; they fill the Divine Kingdom. This group of Minstrels makes it seem like the souls have different flavors based on feelings like despair, anger, and sadness.

Besides, even if those gods have special needs, like wanting to create a space full of a certain emotion in their Divine Kingdom or communicate with the Star Spirit Realm.

The evil god first takes the souls, and within their Divine Kingdom, they create illusions so those souls can really express themselves. If they want to create slaughter, they create slaughter; if they want to make despair, they make despair. For an evil god, dealing with unclaimed souls that enter their Divine Kingdom, especially those marked by sacrifices from followers, is really quite simple!

Even if we assume that the evil gods are just lazy, like dogs that don’t even want to twist a bottle cap, they wouldn’t just leave magical creatures and make the mercenaries handle them on their own.

So, the despair from mercenaries killed by magical creatures isn’t really despair? The anger from mercenaries killed by magical creatures isn’t really anger, either?

So there is only one answer.

These two groups are definitely not the same.

Those who wish for the mercenaries to die right now can’t control these magical creatures.

The ones controlling this group of magical creatures just want to trap the mercenaries here temporarily.

According to Lolth’s guess, the person still scanning the surrounding Star Spirit Realm is most likely the one controlling the monsters.

After all, controlling monsters also travels the path of the Star Spirit Realm.

From the way the enemy is searching the Star Spirit Realm thoroughly, it seems their skills are not very high, but they clearly have endless Star Spirit energy.

This matches the image of someone who can control thousands of monsters—though there are probably some accomplices, they must still control at least a few hundred alone.

There may even be three groups of people present.

Because Lolth noticed that those mercenaries who were first stirring things up and making sarcastic remarks are also getting a bit heated.

For this reason, compared to Krado, Ling, Raven, and others, who seem to be pondering whether to take action, Lolth remains much calmer.

Because she knows…

Soon, one group of "behind-the-scenes puppeteers" will fight another group of "behind-the-scenes puppeteers."

However, she would not remind these teammates.

Letting them become anxious first and reveal their cards would not be a bad thing for herself.

Time passed second by second.

Krado, Ling, and Raven did not make any impulsive moves, and such good things did not happen after all.

Because not far away, a certain mercenary group’s leader finally lost control due to the overwhelming pressure.

"Damn it, it must be you, old man, who sold me out, right? You are really close to those nobles in South Sotua… I know it!"

The leader of the mercenary group seemed to be a priest from some church, raising his staff and shouting at the person on another rock, charging forward.

The person being scolded was a wizard and also the leader of another mercenary group.

Hearing the other person’s words, he also let out a cold laugh.

"So you’re trying to blame me, huh? I’m not scared of you! Let’s fight!"

The two spellcasters instantly got into a struggle, hitting each other with their magic wands until they were both bleeding.

The mercenary groups quickly gathered around their leader, as if they wanted to join the fight.

But before the duel turned into a brawl…

"Hiss—!"

Within the group of monsters, something was stirring!
