Succubus Paladin

Bai Xuan stared at the ten character traits before him, beginning to think carefully.

He needed to pick three and combine them into a coherent character.

After all, [Aunt] and [Little Boy] clearly didn't go together, and [Still Charming] hardly suited [Goblin] either.

Of the options, [Holy Knight] was undoubtedly the best.

Then there was [Lightless Sword]. He didn't know what it meant, but it sounded powerful.

A [Holy Knight] wielding a [Lightless Sword]!

That was the one!

But what should he pick for the third trait?

[Simp]?

It seemed no better than [Slime].

After a moment's thought, Bai Xuan decided to refresh.

He had a Refresh Scroll, so he might as well use it.

"Refresh!"

[Little Boy] → [Uncle]

"Refresh!"

[Uncle] → [Succubus]

"Huh?"

Bai Xuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the newly refreshed trait.

[Succubus] was plainly better than the other traits. It was a race born with magic, after all. The only problem was that it might clash with [Holy Knight].

But that didn't matter. One was a race and the other a profession; there shouldn't be any conflict at the fundamental level.

You're the one!

[Editing character traits...]

[You chose "Succubus Holy Knight wielding the Lightless Sword"!]

[Summoning a Legend matching your character traits...]

As the text flashed, a dazzling light burst forth!

At the same time, a cool, ethereal voice rang in Bai Xuan's ears, reciting an oath:

[Justice! Order! Holy Judgment! Honor! Sacrifice! Valor! Compassion! Humility!]

[I swear to fight for justice! I swear to fight for the world! I swear to fight for you!]

A Female Knight in white-and-gold armor emerged from the light, her long hair pale gold.

The moment she appeared, she turned her sea-blue eyes toward Bai Xuan on the sofa and asked in a calm, clear voice:

"Are you my Master?"

"Yes..."

Bai Xuan nodded, though a flicker of doubt crossed his mind.

He couldn't sense any effect from the [Succubus] trait.

He had always imagined a Succubus would have an innate air of seduction, enough to unsettle someone with a single glance.

Yet although the blonde Female Knight before him was stunning—even more so than the actresses on television—her expression was cool, her eyes seemingly untouched by emotion. She looked like a Holy Knight without feelings.

"Hello, I'm Bai Xuan."

Putting the thought aside, Bai Xuan naturally held out his hand to the Female Knight.

Just then, information about her appeared on the blue screen:

[Xilin]

[Age: 23]

[Quality: Epic]

[Level: F (linked to you)]

[Identity: Holy Knight (Blue)]

[Race: Succubus (Blue)]

[Affinity: 60]

[Lightless Sword (Purple): Possesses a Lightless Sword that can theoretically cut through anything (lightless, shadowless, formless, soundless).]

What?!

Epic!

A 1.98% chance!

Bai Xuan couldn't help smiling. His luck really was good.

And the Lightless Sword was every bit as powerful as it sounded!

High ratings in every attribute, plus both Holy Knight and Succubus skills—Bai Xuan was more than satisfied with this Legend!

"My name is Xilin."

The Female Knight took Bai Xuan's hand and said, "I hope my sword may serve you."

As she spoke, she placed her hand where a sword hilt should have been.

Bai Xuan followed the motion with his eyes, only to find nothing beneath her hand. Though she posed as if gripping a sword, her hand hovered in empty air.

So that's the Lightless Sword?

Having summoned his first Legend, Bai Xuan turned back to the blue screen and opened [World Quest] with a thought.

A world map appeared at once. Thousands of red points of light blinked across it, scattered over the globe.

They marked Anomalous Calamities around the world that had yet to be resolved. The brighter the point, the higher the Anomaly's level.

[Mission Map]

[Map level: 1 (0/5)] (Complete five missions)

[Teleportation: The Teleportation Array can be activated only once per day. It resets at midnight each day.]

[Tip: Raising the map level increases the number of daily teleports and unlocks other functions.]

With another thought, Bai Xuan focused the mission map on Ninghang City in Huaguo.

[There are 6 available missions in the current area.]

Mission details appeared before him, showing the Anomalous Calamities currently unfolding in Ninghang City—four F-rank and two E-rank.

Bai Xuan skimmed them, then opened one of the missions.

[World Quest: Ghoul Eater]

[Mission difficulty: F]

[Mission location: Near Baida Plaza, Ninghang City, Huaguo]

[Mission description: A Ghoul is lurking near Baida Plaza, hunting for tonight's dinner.]

[Mission tip: It fears Holy Light. Beware its Kagune!]

[Mission reward: ?]

"Kagune?"

Bai Xuan raised an eyebrow.

What kind of Ghoul are you?

Still, Xilin had Holy Knight skills. She would have a definite advantage against a Ghoul.

Bai Xuan accepted the mission, and a prompt immediately appeared on the blue screen:

[Teleport near the mission location?]

"Yes."

[Teleportation Array activated!]

A pink magic array appeared on the living room floor.

"Let's go, Xilin."

"Mm."

Bai Xuan and Xilin stepped into the array. The next second, pink light enveloped them both.

Then the light flashed, and they vanished.

"Oh, miss~"

In a dark alley, a purple-haired female photographer wearing glasses took pictures of a female cosplayer lying in a pool of blood.

She clicked the shutter, drooling as she murmured her praise:

"Your body is so beautiful~"

"Look at that snow-white skin, those slender, jade-like limbs, and those full breasts~"

"You're a perfect work of art~"

"I love you so much~"

"I wish we could stay together forever!"

"But I'm hungry~"

The moment she finished speaking, her fingertips pierced the woman's chest, plunged into her heart, and pulled it out.

She was about to put the heart in her mouth as though savoring a delicacy.

"What are you doing?"

A Police Officer suddenly appeared at the street corner. Spotting the scene in the darkness, he called out at once.

"Ah~"

The woman sighed and complained, "Why does someone always interrupt my meals? I'll have to find a more secluded 'restaurant' next time!"

As a Ghoul, Xu Yan hated being interrupted while she ate. It had put her in a terrible mood.

While she spoke, the Police Officer switched on his flashlight and saw the blood-soaked horror in the alley.

He immediately shouted into his radio, "This is the Seventh Street Intersection at Baida Plaza! We have a murder! There's a suspicious woman at the scene. I need backup now!"

He swiftly drew the gun at his waist, aimed it at Xu Yan, and warned, "Hands up! Don't move!"

"I hate it when people interrupt my meals~ So..."

Xu Yan gently wiped the corner of her mouth with a bloodstained fingertip, then fixed the Police Officer with an icy stare. "I'm sorry, but you'll have to die~"

The instant the words left her mouth, a blood-red, scorpion-like tail shot out from her back.

"Damn it! An Anomaly!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Ah!"

Gunshots rang out, followed by the Police Officer's scream...
