It is said that in ancient times, there was a well filled with magical energy, which people called the Eternal Well. On the edge of the Eternal Well lived a group of Night Elves. Under the leadership of the great Elven Queen Azshara, the Night Elves had been researching how to draw and utilize the power of the Eternal Well.

As the power of the Eternal Well was drawn out and transformed into magic, displaying immense strength, the Night Elves became increasingly obsessed with developing the Eternal Well.

However, when things reach an extreme, they inevitably reverse. The Night Elves' excessive and fanatical development of the Eternal Well ultimately led to its explosion.

Under the terrifying, extremely distorted explosive force, those Night Elves were submerged into the deep sea, and their forms were completely twisted by that power. Their upper bodies remained in their original state, but their lower bodies transformed into ugly serpentine tails.

Thus, the Naga race was born.

Uh, okay, this kind of creature originally lived in Hogg's world, but in this world, there was no Naga race.

There were no Nagas, but there were Naga-demons.

To be precise, Naga-demons are not creatures of this world, or more accurately, they do not belong to the Material Plane; they come from the Abyss.

The most famous among them is the Six-armed Naga, a powerful demon whose combat strength is not inferior to that of a Balrog, and a powerful race that has even produced Demon Lords.

Of course, the beautiful Naga-demon before them clearly did not possess such strength.

She only had two slender arms, and at this moment, she held no weapons. Instead, she crossed her arms in front of her chest, further accentuating her alluring curves.

Seeing Landen's gaze fall upon her, she deliberately raised her arms a little higher. Thus, Landen clearly saw the faint blue veins bulging on her two plump white mounds.

Pfft!

Lord Hogg spat again.

"This, uh... beautiful Naga-demon lady, we meant no offense. How about we pretend this never happened and go our separate ways?" Landen organized his words and asked tentatively.

"No!"

This was not one voice, but two... three?

"I was washing myself downstairs when this little dog suddenly rushed over and attacked me. Sister can't just pretend nothing happened so easily~" The beautiful Naga-demon licked her ruby lips and gave Landen a seductive glance.

"We can't let her just leave like that. Even though she's shameless for not wearing clothes, I still want her to be my mount!" The Beast-eared Cutie stared at her "mount" with utmost seriousness, her sharp claws standing on end, clearly ready for battle.

"Hmph," Aila, hiding in the corner, merely added a thought to herself, but her hands, hidden within her robes, had already grasped an Alchemy Tool each.

"Can't we discuss this further?" Landen spread his hands and said very earnestly, though his gaze still lingered on a certain prominent area.

"Hehehe." The beautiful Naga-demon giggled upon hearing this, her chest shaking like a cluster of flowers, as if about to reveal what was hidden, "Discuss? It's not impossible..."

She didn't finish her sentence because, halfway through her words, an attack was launched. It wasn't from Hogg, but from the Dark Elves on both sides, who moments before had looked like perverts!

They were indeed stunned by the beautiful Naga-demon's appearance, but that state did not last long. Although they were born and raised in the Underworld and had never seen a real Naga-demon, this did not prevent them from hearing stories about these demons from books or from bards. Stories involving demons were never good.

This meager knowledge was enough for them to quickly shift their state from attraction to vigilance.

Then, when Landen subtly made a gesture, they immediately launched their strongest attack on the creature that had mesmerized them!

The rapier and the dagger instantly attacked the beautiful Naga-demon from different directions. All attacks were concentrated on her upper body. It wasn't because that part attracted them, but because their limited knowledge of Naga-demons told them that was the opponent's weakness!

The sharp tips of the weapons, which had been meters away, were now only tens of centimeters away. However, at this moment, a whirlwind suddenly erupted around the Naga-demon's torso!

This was no ordinary whirlwind, but a whirlwind of sword blades composed entirely of steel!

The weapons were blocked by this whirlwind of blades before they could even touch her soft, watery skin. Little Lari, who was weaker, couldn't even hold onto his dagger and let it fly out of his hand. Several Dark Elves were greatly alarmed and quickly retreated!

Looking at the beautiful Naga-demon again, the whirlwind of blades instantly stopped, and in her slender jade hands, two curved sabers had appeared at some point. These were the very things that had formed the whirlwind!

"You stinking woman!" Such a display did not completely deter Landen and the others. Hogg let out an angry roar and charged directly at the beautiful Naga-demon!

At the same time, Aila raised her hand and threw two glass bottles. The Minotaur Butler let out his signature roar, and the great axe in his hand, no smaller than a millstone, danced in a dazzling display!

As for Landen, he picked up the rapier personally bestowed upon him by Matriarch Isis, rumored to be known as "Crimson Bauhinia." He swung it idly, shook his head, and put the sword away.

He inherited the name Landen; he inherited Landen's body; he inherited all of Landen's memories, but he did not inherit his combat talent. At this moment, he possessed a Low-tier Black Iron body but lacked the matching combat skills.

The two curved sabers, which looked more decorative than combat-effective, instantly turned into two arcs of cold light. The next moment, the two glass bottles thrown by Aila were steadily stopped on the blades of one of the sabers.

"Alchemical Potions for dealing with snakes won't work on sister, little girl~" With a flick of her jade hand, the glass bottles were turned and hurled towards the Minotaur Butler!

The valiant Minotaur Butler ignored the two glass bottles, letting them explode on his face. The giant axe in his hand brought with it a furious whistling sound, and along with Hogg's claws, which still sparkled in the shadows, arrived before the beautiful Naga-demon!

Clang! Clang!

With two crisp sounds, Hogg and the Minotaur Butler found their attacks instantly halted, unable to advance further!

The two curved sabers, just like that, easily blocked the claws and the great axe respectively!

However, this standstill lasted only a few seconds. Immediately after, Hogg and the Minotaur Butler felt a lightness in their hands, and their attacks continued!

Yet, neither the claws nor the great axe managed to strike the Naga-demon's upper body. When the attacks landed, only a serpentine tail remained there!

With two swish sounds, the two attacks only managed to leave a few white marks on the scales!

At this moment, the beautiful Naga-demon's face was less than a centimeter from Landen's face.

"Little guy, you're not being good. Making sister angry is not a good thing." With a light flick of the curved saber, she lifted Landen's face, and a scent as sweet as orchids gently sprayed onto his face. "Tell me, how should I punish you? Huh?"
