Chapter 5

Lilith's appearance genuinely left Fang Yuan stunned.

Just as he was spacing out.

Lilith walked down from the altar and came before Fang Yuan.

She nudged her black-rimmed glasses with her staff.

"Oh, a handsome little lord."

"Ah, the last time I saw a man this handsome was in the Magic Calendar—hmm, 2366?"

"Or maybe it was 4222."

"He was the Continent's Number One Magic Swordsman back then!"

Lilith's voice carried a hint of seduction.

Most importantly!

The magic robe this woman wore!

Had no safety shorts underneath!

And at that moment, she was floating above Fang Yuan's head.

The instant Fang Yuan raised his head.

"Holy crap~"

Then Lilith's furious voice rang out.

"Oh my, do all you men like peeking?"

"Just like that good-for-nothing student I taught!!!"

Those words instantly fanned the fire in Fang Yuan's heart.

"What the hell, why does she feel like a succubus!"

Just as Fang Yuan was grumbling inwardly.

Another notification sounded beside his ear.

"Ding, you have obtained the Gold Legendary Achievement LV1. Reward: Purple Rare Flame Mage Barracks Building Card x1."

"Ding, the current Forbidden Curse Archmage Hero Lilith ranks first among the lord heroes in the Gondor Kingdom. Reward: 100,000 gold coins and 100,000 resource packs."

"Ding, your hero has entered the United Kingdom of Gondor rankings. Would you like to make your name and territory information public? Choose public: reward of 10,000 gold coins. Choose private: no reward."

The sudden achievement reward and ranking reward.

Drew Fang Yuan's attention away.

Especially the final option that had suddenly popped up.

It caught him off guard, and he almost selected yes.

Fortunately, he quickly pulled his hand back.

His current territory was only Level One.

He was still a complete beginner.

Yet he already possessed a Golden Hero.

This was like a child carrying gold through a busy market.

Even people without ill intentions might act when tempted by wealth.

It would also attract envy.

Making it public now would simply be asking for trouble.

Fang Yuan decisively chose no.

As the virtual window before him vanished.

Fang Yuan turned his attention back to Lilith.

At that moment, Lilith's eyes carried a seductive charm.

However, after Fang Yuan's initial shock and panic.

And!

After silently repeating "paper person" countless times.

He could finally resist her charm.

Then he began checking Lilith's panel.

After all, on the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield, beauty was utterly worthless before overwhelming strength.

Fang Yuan only had to focus slightly through the Lord's Mark.

Then Lilith's attribute panel appeared before him.

Name: Fire Forbidden Curse Archmage Lilith

Level: LV1

Experience: 0/10000

Quality: Golden Legendary

Potential: One Star

Carried Wonder: Heart of Arcane (Fire)

Spell Power: 1000

Health: 10000

Mana: 10000

Loyalty: 65 (Has an extremely favorable impression of you; betrays you if loyalty falls below 20.)

Skills: Explosive Chain Fireball, Flame Storm, Summon Fire Elemental, Flame Shield, Forbidden Curse Meteor Fire Rain.

On the attribute panel.

Fang Yuan was drawn to the skills at first glance.

"Forbidden Curse Archmage!"

"Just as formidable as rumored!!!"

Five skills.

The most powerful among them should be that Forbidden Curse.

Meteor Fire Rain.

Fang Yuan checked the skill's brief description.

Meteor Fire Rain: Channel for ten seconds, summoning a meteor shower to indiscriminately bombard an area for thirty minutes. Each meteor deals massive damage to its target.

That was terrifying.

A bombardment lasting thirty minutes.

And it covered an especially vast area.

One skill could probably wipe out an entire city.

Fang Yuan could not help thinking.

The power of a Forbidden Curse truly was ferocious.

This was a strategic-level weapon.

"I actually got the ultimate trump card right at the start!"

But Lilith was not only powerful because of her Forbidden Curse.

Her other spells were also impressive.

Explosive Chain Fireball could launch ten Explosive Fireballs at once.

They caused stuns and could also explode.

Flame Storm was an area-of-effect attack. After channeling for three seconds, the flames that rose up could scorch every target within its range.

They would explode as well.

Summon Fire Elemental created ten at a time.

Every Fire Elemental knew Chain Fireball, making them insanely powerful.

Flame Shield was used to withstand damage and save her life. It came with the effects of a Repulsion Aura and a Flame Aura.

It could scorch targets and push away nearby enemies.

It could be said that Lilith's terrifying strength was already obvious from her skills alone.

Aside from that.

Lilith's own attributes were also extremely powerful.

A spell power of 1000.

From what Fang Yuan knew.

Apprentice Mages all had around five points of spell power.

Even Advanced Mages had barely over 200 points of spell power at most.

Lilith started with 1000 points of spell power.

As her level increased in the future, her attributes could grow even stronger.

Lilith's upper limit was therefore somewhat terrifying.

That was also why, despite being only a Level One Hero.

She had reached the top of the Gondor Kingdom's hero quality rankings as soon as she was recruited.

There was no other reason!

She was simply freakishly strong.

Potential represented the attributes a hero gained upon increasing their level by one.

All heroes started with one star.

As they leveled up, they could use special wonders to raise their potential.

But this increase was not unlimited.

Based on what Fang Yuan knew, even ordinary Orange-grade heroes could generally only reach nine stars.

As for Gold!

He checked it.

"Gasp~"

"Lilith can reach twelve stars at most!"

"So powerful!"

"No wonder she's a Gold Unit."

Fang Yuan finally looked at the wonder Lilith carried and her loyalty value.

The wonder was fused into Lilith's body. Unless she was killed, it could not be removed.

And loyalty was Lilith's foundation.

To raise her loyalty, he could not simply fool around with her.

Otherwise, if it dropped, things would become disastrous.

At that moment, Lilith walked down and came to Fang Yuan's side.

"Handsome Lord."

"The territory outside is pitch-black, with detestable gnolls lurking within. Your loyal little mage is willing to dispel the darkness for you!"

Her faintly seductive voice made Fang Yuan swallow.

He said inwardly, "She's too alluring!"

"Even if I hypnotize myself by calling her a paper person, she really isn't!"

"She is alive, with flesh and blood!"

"Should I make a move on her?"

"She probably wouldn't resist, right!"

Fang Yuan could not help feeling eager to try!

However, when he saw her loyalty value, Fang Yuan suppressed the fire in his heart.

"Her loyalty is too low."

"If I mess up and backfire, lowering her loyalty until she betrays me."

"Then I really would be screwed."

There was still plenty of time in the future.

He should first build up some favorable impressions and raise her loyalty.

"Lilith, your level is still low. It is too dangerous outside."

"You are very important to me. Wait until I have created more soldiers before going into the wilderness."

Lilith immediately giggled, laughing so hard that her whole body trembled.

At the same time, a notification sounded beside Fang Yuan's ear.

"Lilith is delighted by your concern. Loyalty +1."

Immediately afterward, Lilith's voice rang out again.

"As you command, my Lord. However, I can use Fire Elementals to explore the territory for you."

This time, Fang Yuan did not refuse.

Lilith directly summoned Fire Elementals and fought her way out of the castle.
