S-Class Dungeon’s Mistress - Chapter 220

Chapter 220

Luscious hair fluttered like a crimson flag in the fierce wind. The figure flying across the deep blue sky caught everyone's gaze.

Adelaide stared blankly at her friend, biting the soft inner flesh of her lip.

How did Pipa get here...

She had not told Penelope anything. She hadn't revealed her intention to defy the Demon King, nor had she mentioned anything about today's impending war. Not since unilaterally terminating their contract had she even faced her.

However, Penelope was now coming to help her at the most appropriate moment. It was impossible to understand how she had found her way here. The information about the rebellion had been thoroughly concealed, making it inconceivable that Penelope could have discovered it through her intelligence network. Not unless someone had whispered something to her.

Moreover, Penelope was not alone in coming to Adelaide's aid. Dozens of demon tribes were following behind her. Those riding wyverns and aerial beasts looked somehow familiar.

Their faces were uniformly beautiful and attractive. They were the succubi and incubi of the Morpheus Alliance.

Penelope's sudden appearance was shocking to Adelaide, but the emergence of the Morpheus demons was even more surprising. While it didn't seem like the entire alliance was following her, most of those Adelaide had faced when the alliance was saved from the lycanthropes a few weeks ago appeared to have come.

'Didn't they dislike me?'

Her confusion was understandable. The succubi and incubi she remembered were mostly quite nasty and irritating. And now they were risking their lives to help her? It was enough to make her wonder if something was wrong or if her eyes were playing tricks.

She wanted to ask Penelope about the circumstances, but unfortunately, there was no time for that.

Penelope, riding the largest wyvern, made eye contact with Adelaide before quickly passing by. Then she shouted in a thunderous voice:

"Let's go!"

As soon as her command fell, the wyverns and aerial beasts carrying succubi and incubi began to fly at a low altitude. Their target was the entire Demon King's army surrounding the Greenville group.

"How dare these lowly dream demons...!"

The Demon King's army sneered at the succubi and incubi flying towards them without a hint of fear.

Dream demons had always been looked down upon, regardless of their rank. They were seen as nothing more than creatures with just a polished appearance, essentially no different from prostitutes. This was the public perception of succubi and incubi.

Therefore, the Demon King's army showed no tension or caution, even as the Morpheus Alliance charged fiercely. Instead, they maintained an air of leisure, looking down on the dream demons and thinking, "What could they possibly do?"

And within just a few minutes, they would encounter a most ridiculous result.

"Kheuk! Keu... Kreoong..."

"Kool..."

Every time the alliance passed between them and stretched out their hands, the Demon King's army began to fall one by one, as if falling asleep. They were overwhelmed by the sudden surge, succumbing to deep slumber.

Succubi and incubi, known as the "Masters of Dreams," might not possess exceptional combat skills, but they were unrivaled in their ability to draw even fully conscious individuals into deep dreams.

Of course, stronger demons could wake up quickly, and if the dream caster was caught, everything would be in vain. However, in a war situation where every second counted, such an ability was quite useful.

Thud, thud! Sounds of demons falling from the inner walls and tower tops echoed consecutively. Groans of those who died unable to escape the Greenville attack after a brief moment of drowsiness were heard alongside.

"Damn it, capture those dream demon bitches right now!"

One of the Demon King's army commanders roared savagely. Soldiers spread their wings and flew around, trying to catch the darting succubi and incubi, but it was futile.

The wyverns carrying the Morpheus Alliance were known to be the fastest flying creatures among monsters. The aerial beasts they had recruited to supplement their numbers were also composed of the swiftest individuals from their tribe. In other words, they were nearly uncatchable.

As a result, the Demon King's army's troops quickly dwindled. Though many remained, it seemed Adelaide could break through without even using her powers.

For the initially overconfident Demon King's army, it was a moment of utter humiliation. So embarrassing that they would fear other demon tribes learning about it.

And the perfect witnesses to this moment emerged from one side of the fortress wall.

<Greetings, precious subscribers of the Dungeon Daily! It's your adorable darling, the true journalist of this era, Kyle, making a long-awaited appearance!>

A cute-looking gargoyle flew around, scattering stone dust. It was Kyle, the reporter who had been the moderator for the dungeon match with Sol Dungeon.

"Wasn't he supposed to be dead?"

"Wow, how is he alive after publishing such an article?"

Members of the Greenville Dungeon exclaimed mid-battle. Adelaide also stared in bewilderment at Kyle in the distance.

Kyle was fluttering his wings in front of a small stone piece while holding a microphone. Though far away, it seemed to be a video stone.

<As you can see, I'm at an incredibly dangerous and surprising scene! This is none other than the interior of the Demon King's castle! Can you see the Demon King's army, unable to get their bearings due to the succubi and incubi's attacks? Since this is a top-tier video stone purchased by exhausting our entire budget, I'm sure it looks incredibly vivid!>

Live broadcast right now? Adelaide quickly dispatched the Demon King's army attempting to attack her group while clicking her tongue.

<Currently battling the Demon King's army are the demons of the Greenville Dungeon! Yes, the very Adelaide, called the true savior of the demon realm, who could no longer tolerate the absurdity and has raised her flag against the current Demon King! Oh! The Demon King's army's attacks are coming at me too! But don't worry! This era's true journalist, Kyle, will never stop broadcasting even if he dies!>

"Here, take this, Adel!"

Penelope, who had circled the courtyard once, approached Adelaide. Behind her were four unmanned wyverns. Their distinctive squawking was familiar, and judging by the unbearably checkered handmade outfit, they were definitely the same wyverns that had helped during the war with Los Halde.

"Pipa, what is all this..."

Adelaide was confused, her words trailing off.

There was so much she couldn't understand. How did Penelope and the Morpheus Alliance know and come here? How did they get to know the wyverns? What was Kyle doing suddenly broadcasting? While the situation was flowing favorably for Greenville, it was equally chaotic.

"You know I'm good at networking. Since you wouldn't meet me, I had no choice but to persuade the right person to find out."

"The right person?"

Penelope lightly gestured to the right. When Adelaide turned her head, she saw a red-haired fool quickly hiding in the Demon King's army. Naturally, due to his massive size, only his face was exposed.

"Caladi..."

"Don't scold him too much. I basically threatened him that he would never speak about it."

Adelaide gritted her teeth, and Penelope shrugged, defending Caladium. Despite having only met once or twice behind Adelaide's back, she seemed to have already figured out that he was a fool.

"And of course, I had to come when you're in danger! How dare you try to proceed with something this important without telling me? Just wait after the war, Adel. I'll give you a proper scolding."

"Ah, haha... But why did the alliance members come all the way here?"

"I didn't bring them. I tried to stop them, but they insisted on following me first."

"What?"

Adelaide furrowed her brow and asked back, finding Penelope's words hard to believe.

Penelope responded with a faint smile.

"They said they must repay what they owe, no matter how scary it might be. Both the things they're sorry for and the things they're grateful for."

Though they seemed to have been hesitating right up until departure, they ultimately didn't change their minds. She added with a smile.

Adelaide remained silent, unable to respond. Her feelings were complex. It was too much to simply be grateful, yet too nuanced to continue resenting. The relationships between demons were truly unpredictable.

"That fool also connected the wyverns, aerial beasts, and gargoyles. Our Adel, you've really lived life to the fullest. Everyone said they received a lot of help from you and immediately agreed to my suggestion."

At the word "fool," Caladium once again grabbed a demon from the Demon King's army to cover his face. Seeing him do such a thing, the battle didn't seem much like a battle at all.

"Anyway, let's save the rest of the story for later. Quickly take your group and go. We'll handle things here."

Penelope led Adelaide towards the wyverns again. The message was clear: go quickly and deal with the Demon King. However, Adelaide's steps were reluctant.

"No, there are still too many in the Demon King's army for you to handle alone. Even if we leave some of our people behind, it's the same. We don't know when a strong enemy might suddenly appear..."

"Will we handle the demons you need to face? We'll be fine, so go quickly. We can't waste time here."

It's still too dangerous.

Just as she was about to respond, she felt a strange and massive presence approaching.

Adelaide immediately turned to track the direction of the energy. Lisianthus, Caladium, and Lupinus were also looking in the same direction simultaneously.

Not long after, the eastern fortress exploded with a thunderous roar.

Kwaaaang!

Dense dust spread in all directions, obscuring the view. Adelaide gripped the sword hilt, protecting Penelope.

Emerging from the acrid smoke was a monster.

Larger than Abaddon. A disgustingly naked body with flesh that wobbled from side to side. A massive mouth that squirmed here and there came into view. The towering horns made his identity unmistakable.

Beelzebub, the demon of gluttony. One of the four devils under the Demon King had appeared.
