10x Rewards: Conquering Women and Taming Beauties-Chapter 37: The Terrifying Succubus’ Eyes

Steadying my breath, I struggled to defend against the relentless onslaught of attacks barraging toward me, each strike heavier than the last, forcing my arms to tremble slightly under the accumulating pressure.

Gradually, however, I began adapting to the rhythm behind his attacks, reading the flow of his strength, the timing of his swings, and the subtle pauses hidden between each devastating strike.

As he swung his large hammer toward me once more, this time I didn’t panic. Instead, I calmly raised my guard, blocked the attack head-on, then shifted to the side in a smooth motion and released a counterattack of my own without hesitation.

My cursed energy burned fiercely, surging violently through my body before erupting outward, transforming into a bright red flame that roared upward like a rising tide, completely submerging the hammer-wielding man within its blazing embrace.

Swoosh!

Watching closely, I suddenly realized something was off. A faint sense of danger crept into my mind, and without wasting a second, I quickly distanced myself from him, retreating several steps back.

The next instant, the exact location where I had been standing exploded outward as the rock beneath the ground burst apart violently, fragments scattering in all directions with overwhelming force.

Frowning slightly, I lifted my gaze toward the man and immediately noticed the grin plastered across his face, one filled with confidence and mockery.

’Bastard...’ I cursed internally, my eyes narrowing slightly.

’Here... I’ll help you...’ Suddenly, a soft voice slipped into my mind, cold yet strangely soothing at the same time.

My eyes immediately scanned the surroundings as I quickly recognized the voice as Vale’s.

Before I could even begin to understand what she meant by helping me, a chilling whisper spread through the air, as though the entire space had momentarily fallen under her control.

"Die..."

At that exact moment, my vision gained a faint hue of pink, and the instant the middle-aged man locked eyes with me, his entire body froze as if bound by an invisible force, his consciousness falling into a strange daze.

Slowly, almost mechanically, he raised his hammer, his movements stiff and unnatural, before bringing it crashing down toward his own head.

Bang!

The next instant, his skull exploded like a watermelon, fragments scattering as his lifeless body collapsed heavily to the ground.

Until the very moment of his death, he hadn’t even realized how he had died.

.

Meanwhile, a wave of shock surged through my heart, a cold premonition creeping up my spine and refusing to fade.

How had Vale done that?

It felt as though she had taken control of my eyes, forcing them to mimic her unique ocular ability, using my own gaze as a medium to drag the middle-aged man under her control without resistance.

’These eyes... they’re even more terrifying than I thought...’ I whispered internally, taking a slow breath as I tried to calm my turbulent emotions.

After dealing with the middle-aged man, I finally allowed myself to scan the battlefield properly, taking in the chaotic scene unfolding around me.

Vale was still locked in a gruesome and intense battle with Jason, the clash between them sending waves of pressure outward.

If my guess wasn’t wrong, the two of them had already stepped into the second stage, known as the Cursed Master.

Their speed was terrifyingly fast, far beyond what I could comfortably track.

Only flashes and blurred afterimages appeared within my field of vision, making it nearly impossible to follow their movements accurately.

Realizing that I couldn’t provide any meaningful support to Vale in that state, I shifted my attention toward the second battlefield instead.

Wielding spears, the two succubi relentlessly exchanged attacks with a woman who held a sword firmly in her grasp, her stance sharp and controlled.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of continuous clashes rang endlessly through the surroundings, echoing through the fog-covered battlefield.

At first glance, it seemed like both sides were evenly matched, their movements precise and coordinated. However, it didn’t take long to notice the subtle imbalance forming.

The sword-wielding woman was gradually gaining the upper hand.

Her attacks grew increasingly versatile as the wind around her began to surge and respond to her will, forming currents that twisted unpredictably.

Using the obscured surroundings to her advantage, she moved swiftly through the fog, launching sudden attacks and sneak strikes from blind spots, making her extremely difficult to track.

Bang!

One of her attacks struck cleanly, sending one of the succubi flying backward toward a distant tree covered in snow and fog.

Coughing up a mouthful of blood, the succubus collapsed weakly onto the ground, her body trembling from the impact.

A satisfied grin appeared on the woman’s face as she turned her gaze toward the remaining succubus.

"You are next!"

Her grin widened further as she immediately moved, her body propelled forward by a surge of wind, drastically increasing her speed.

In mere moments, she appeared right in front of the succubus, her sword thrusting forward with deadly precision, aiming directly for her heart.

Bang!

At that exact moment, her pupils shrank sharply as she sensed a sudden presence from behind.

"Not good!" she exclaimed instinctively, her body twisting as she attempted to dodge the incoming attack aimed toward her head.

However, it was already too late.

A massive fire dragon surged upward from behind, its blazing form devouring the surrounding fog entirely as it swallowed the woman whole.

"Arrrrggghh!"

A pained scream tore through the air as flames wrapped tightly around her body, engulfing her completely and burning without mercy.

Gritting her teeth, she desperately circulated her cursed energy, summoning wind currents in an attempt to extinguish the flames.

However, the damage had already been done.

Swoosh!

Her figure was revealed before the trio once the flames subsided slightly.

Her body was severely burned, her clothes torn apart and charred, revealing fragments of her body through the damaged fabric, though the lingering fog provided some degree of concealment.

Her hair had been completely burned away, leaving her scalp exposed and her appearance distorted.

Her eyes, now filled with a terrifying glint, locked directly onto me as she clenched her teeth in fury.

"Attacking from behind like a little coward..."

Bang!

Just as she raised her sword again, preparing to strike once more, her movements suddenly halted.

A searing wave of heat ignited in midair.

Before she could react, another eruption followed as flames burst outward like a raging fountain, wrapping tightly around her body once again.

This time, she barely had any chance to respond before being completely engulfed.

Within seconds, her body disintegrated under the overwhelming heat, reduced entirely to ash.

After ensuring that she was completely dead, I immediately rushed toward the succubus who had been sent flying earlier.

Upon getting closer, I noticed that she was crouched on the ground, breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

Despite her injuries, it was clear that she would survive.

Seeing this, I let out a quiet sigh of relief.

The succubus lifted her head and looked at me, gratitude clearly visible in her eyes. "Thank you for saving my life, young sir!"

The other succubus quickly approached, supporting her sister while also offering her thanks.

I simply shook my head lightly. "It’s nothing..."

Without lingering on the matter, I turned my attention back toward the battle between Jason and Vale.

At this point, their clash had only intensified further.

Bang!

Their attacks collided repeatedly, each exchange sending shockwaves through the air as both sides attempted to land a decisive blow.

Even so, Vale maintained perfect control over the distance between them, never allowing herself to be cornered.

Her slender physique granted her exceptional agility, allowing her to evade every incoming strike with precise and fluid movements.

Suddenly, as if sensing the deaths of his companions, Jason abruptly flipped backward multiple times, creating distance between himself and Vale.

His gaze swept across the battlefield, pausing briefly at the locations where the middle-aged man and the woman had fallen.

A solemn expression gradually appeared on his face.

He understood the situation clearly.

The longer this battle continued, the closer he would edge toward defeat.

Letting out a slow breath, he lowered his weapon slightly and spoke, his tone calm yet heavy.

"Today, Vale... I have lost."

Sheathing his sword, he made it clear that he no longer intended to continue the fight.

However, just before turning to leave, his gaze shifted toward me.

Despite focusing primarily on his battle, he had still been aware of everything happening around him.

He knew exactly why his companions had died.

"You..."

Staring at me, a surge of killing intent flickered briefly within his eyes. However, he quickly suppressed it, fully aware that Vale would not allow him to act freely.

"A human like you, helping cursed creatures kill your own kind? You should be ashamed!"

He spat those words with clear disdain before a distortion of space formed around him, and in the next instant, he shot away at high speed. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

As he flew through the air, anger twisted his expression, his teeth grinding tightly.

Burning my appearance into his memory, he silently made a vow.

’I just need to complete the mission at this cursed gate... after that, I will kill him, no matter the cost!’

A fierce sense of righteousness ignited within his heart, pushing him forward.

Silently, I watched Jason’s departing figure until he completely disappeared from sight, unable to hold back a faint chuckle.

’Humans... cursed creatures... what does any of that have to do with me?’

’I was simply thrown into this world without any understanding, without any purpose...’

’As long as I can enjoy myself... that’s more than enough.’
