Adult Fairy Tale: Starting from the Succubus's Feet

“These magical plants will become an important force in our defense,” Lillian said, wiping the sweat from her brow.

Groom was conducting rigorous training for the emergency response team members on the training field.

"You must not only be strong, but also learn to work as a team. When facing dark creatures, one person's strength is insignificant; only by uniting can you unleash your greatest power," Groom shouted, brandishing his battle axe as he demonstrated combat techniques to the warriors.

Under Groom's tutelage, the warriors continuously improved their combat abilities. They learned how to cooperate in battle and how to use tactics to deal with different types of dark creatures.

After many days of hard work, Ye Chen finally passed all the tests in the Holy Scripture of Light. The Spirit of Light looked at him with satisfaction and said, "You have proven your strength and determination. This Holy Scripture of Light is now yours. I hope you can use its power to protect the world of light."

Ye Chen returned to the World of Light with the Holy Scripture of Light. He immediately gathered his companions and began studying the magic within the scripture. They discovered a method to gather everyone's power together to form a super light magic circle.

"If we can successfully cast this magic circle, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the enemy when darkness invades," Ye Chen said excitedly.

Just as they were preparing to practice their magic arrays further, urgent military news arrived from the border. The forces of darkness had struck again, and on a larger scale than before.

"It seems the forces of darkness can't wait any longer," Ye Chen said. "Partners, it's time to show our power."

Upon hearing the urgent military situation at the border, everyone's expressions instantly turned serious, but they did not panic in the slightest. Ye Chen gripped the Holy Scripture of Light tightly, his eyes filled with determination, and took the lead in stepping out of the Council of Light, with his companions following closely behind, heading straight for the border.

Halfway there, they saw dark clouds rolling in on the horizon, thick as ink, with flashes of lightning and distant roars of dark creatures. The sounds seemed to tear the sky apart, sending chills down their spines. Alice frowned, drew her bow, the arrow tip gleaming coldly, constantly alert to her surroundings. She murmured, "The dark forces have come with overwhelming force; they've likely been preparing for this for a long time. We must be extremely careful."

Lillian looked solemn, her hands gesturing as she chanted incantations. Streams of emerald light flowed from her palms and disappeared into the earth.

In the blink of an eye, the grass on both sides of the road grew wildly, turning into a tough tripwire. If any dark creatures attempted to launch a surprise attack, they would be trapped by this grass.

“I have awakened the power of nature to set up some barriers here, hoping to slow their advance,” Lillian said, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, clearly indicating that she had expended a lot of magic.

Groom brandished his battle axe, creating a whooshing sound as he cleaved through the air. He shouted to the emergency response team behind him, "My lads, today is the day to test the results of your training! Do not be afraid, follow me and charge forward, let the dark creatures see our might!" The warriors responded in unison, their voices echoing across the land. Their soaring fighting spirit seemed to dispel the gloom before them.

Approaching the border defenses, the scene before them resembled purgatory. Dark mages hovered in the air, their black robes billowing, their staffs continuously unleashing eerie, dark beams of magic that slammed into the protective city walls, instantly reducing the bricks and stones to dust upon impact.

All sorts of bizarre and dark creatures swarmed in dense numbers, like a black tide. There were ogres with bodies as large as mountains, wielding giant clubs that shook the earth with each slam; there were winged, fanged, and clawed night bats that swooped down in swarms, trying to wound the city's soldiers; and there were slimy, slippery swamp monsters that climbed up the city walls, leaving corrosive trails in their wake.

Although the soldiers defending the city fought desperately, they gradually showed signs of fatigue, and the defensive line was on the verge of collapse.

Seeing this, Ye Chen was extremely anxious. He quickly opened the Holy Scripture of Light, stood in position with his companions, and prepared to cast the Super Light Magic Array.

He chanted an ancient incantation, his voice steady and powerful. As he uttered the syllables, his body shone brightly, and golden light connected with his companions like threads.

Alice, Lillian, Groom, and the others also channeled their magic power into the magic circle. The light from Alice's arrow tip merged into the circle, transforming into a dazzling arrow trajectory; Lillian's natural power transformed into vibrant green veins; and Groom's raging battle aura burned like a raging fire within the circle.

The magic circle slowly took shape, its light shooting straight into the sky, instantly dispelling a large swath of dark clouds. A gigantic light barrier erupted from the circle, like an indestructible shield, blocking the sky above the city walls. Dark magic beams struck it, splashing up layers of golden ripples, but could not advance any further.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers defending the city were greatly encouraged and shouted as they fought back with all their might.

"Hmph, a mere light magic circle dares to try and stop us!" The leading dark mage sneered, waving his staff. The dark creatures' attacks became even more frenzied. The ogres roared and crashed into the light barrier, while the night bats swarmed together, attempting to break through the defense with sheer numbers.

"Breaking the formation won't be that easy!" Ye Chen's eyes sharpened, and he increased his magic output. The magic circle shone even brighter, and countless golden lightsabers sprouted from the light screen, raining down on the dark creatures. Wherever the lightsabers struck, ogres were torn apart, night bats fell one after another, and swamp monsters were pierced through the body, howling in pain.

But the dark forces kept pouring in, and although the magic circle was strong, maintaining it was extremely difficult. Lillian gritted her teeth and said, "If we keep at this rate, we won't last long. We need to think of a way to take the initiative."

Upon hearing this, Groom's eyes lit up: "I'll lead the emergency response team out to disrupt their formation, and you'll provide cover from the rear."

Without waiting for a response, he led his troops down the city wall like tigers descending a mountain, their battle axes flying, leaving a trail of blood and carnage in their wake. The emergency response team soldiers worked in close coordination, some using spears to thrust and others using shields to parry, engaging the dark creatures in a fierce battle.

Alice led her elven flying squadron into the air, weaving nimbly through the air and firing arrows at the dark mages, disrupting their spellcasting. "Let's see how long you can be so arrogant!" she shouted as she fired, her arrows hitting their mark every time, forcing the dark mages to dodge left and right, their magical attacks losing their accuracy.

Taking advantage of this break, Ye Chen carefully studied the Holy Scripture of Light, attempting to find more lethal magic. Suddenly, his gaze fixed on a page of obscure runes, and a sudden realization dawned on him. "Companions, heed my command! Adjust the flow of magic!"

He shouted loudly, and everyone did as he was told. The magic circle instantly changed shape, the light contracted and condensed, transforming into a huge phantom of a divine beast of light, majestic and awe-inspiring, roaring to the sky.

The divine beast opened its maw and spewed out a dazzling beam of purifying light. Any dark creatures it touched instantly turned to ashes. The dark mages were also enveloped in the light, howling in pain as their magic power was greatly reduced.

... ..... 0

"This...how is this possible!" The dark mages were terrified. Their attack, which they thought was a sure thing, was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.

But the dark forces remained undeterred, and another group of even more powerful dark guards surged forth from behind. Clad in heavy black armor and wielding sharp blades, they were unfazed by the light of the divine beasts of light, and advanced step by step toward the city walls. "Continue the assault! Today we will raze this border of light to the ground!" roared a dark guard commander.

Lillian collapsed, exhausted, her face ashen. Alice's quiver was nearly empty, and her arm trembled slightly. Groom and the emergency response team were covered in blood, still fighting, but also riddled with wounds.

Looking at his exhausted companions, Ye Chen steeled his resolve and decided to take a desperate gamble. He channeled all his magical power into the Holy Scripture of Light, and slowly rose into the air, runes shimmering around him as he merged with the Divine Beast of Light.

"I will use my body as a sword to cut through the darkness!" Ye Chen roared, riding the divine beast of light into the ranks of the dark guards. With the beast's claws flashing, the dark guards fell one after another.

However, Ye Chen paid a heavy price for his actions. His magic power was overdrawn, and he coughed up blood, plummeting from the sky. At the critical moment, Groom leaped up and caught Ye Chen. "Brother, hold on!" Groom shouted, his voice choked with emotion.

Just when everyone thought they were in dire straits, melodious bells rang out from all corners of the world of light. It turned out that the people of various towns had spontaneously organized themselves, gathered their magic power, and transmitted it to the border through magic circles. As the magic power flowed in, their strength gradually returned, and the magic circles were revitalized.

"Behind us are countless civilians; we cannot lose!" Alice shouted, and the elven flight squadron took to the skies once more, raining down arrows. Lillian struggled to her feet, pressing her hands to the ground to summon more magical plants that entangled and strangled the dark creatures. Grum led the emergency response force like an iron torrent, charging once more into the enemy ranks.

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging magical power. He struggled to stand up, turned to the last few pages of the Holy Scripture of Light, and recited the ultimate incantation.

In an instant, the world changed color, and the Holy Scripture of Light burst forth with endless light, transforming into a pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth. Wherever it went, the dark forces of "350" vanished into thin air, the dark mages turned to ashes, the dark clouds dispersed, the sun shone again, and the border returned to peace.

After the war, the group dragged their weary bodies back to the world of light, where the people lined the streets and cheered, praising their bravery.

But Ye Chen and the others understood that this was merely one clash in a long struggle between darkness and light; even greater challenges awaited them in the future. Amidst the cheers, they silently clenched their fists, determined to protect this land of light, no matter the cost.

In the days that followed, Ye Chen studied the Holy Scripture of Light day and night, exploring its deeper magical mysteries, and sharing his insights with his companions whenever he gained any.

Alice led the elves to plant magical trees along the border. These trees served as both early warnings of darkness and defensive barriers against small-scale attacks by dark creatures. Lillian traveled between towns, teaching nature magic and instructing people on how to use the power of nature to strengthen fortifications and cultivate magical plants. Groom rigorously trained new recruits on the training grounds, imparting his combat experience and forging elite armies.

However, the peace did not last long. One day, a mysterious figure in black robes quietly infiltrated the world of light, leaving behind a letter sealed with dark runes before disappearing without a trace. Ye Chen obtained the letter, broke the rune seal, and a surge of dark magic rushed towards him. The contents of the letter caused his expression to change drastically.

"The forces of darkness will gather all their strength in Shadow Canyon on the night of the full moon next month to launch a general offensive, attempting to destroy the world of light in one fell swoop. We urge you to prepare for the end of the world."

Ye Chen immediately summoned his companions and the leaders of various towns to discuss countermeasures. "Shadow Canyon is a treacherous place, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is surrounded by dark magic traps. If we go there rashly, I'm afraid we will be in grave danger," a town leader said worriedly.

Groom slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and said, "What's there to be afraid of? We'll deal with whatever comes our way! Now that we know where they're gathering, we can make preparations in advance and catch them off guard."

Lillian pondered for a moment before speaking, "Although Shadow Canyon is dangerous, the power of nature can still penetrate to some extent. I can sneak in beforehand, use the plants to sense the location of dark magic traps, and destroy them to open a safe passage for us."

Alice nodded and said, "I will lead the elven flying squadron to provide aerial cover, disrupt the dark mages' spellcasting, and cut off their coordination."

Ye Chen's gaze was deep as he lightly tapped the table with his fingers: "I will combine what I have learned from studying the Holy Scripture of Light with everyone's strength to set up a giant light-sealing array to trap and kill the main force of the dark forces. However, this array requires many rare magical materials and will take a lot of time to set up."

Having reached a decision, everyone set about their own plans. Lillian, disguised, infiltrated Shadow Canyon alone.

The canyon was filled with a stench of decay, with jagged rocks and eerie green will-o'-the-wisps flickering on the surrounding cliffs, creating a sinister and terrifying atmosphere.

She proceeded cautiously, using natural magic to probe with each step. When she discovered a dark magic trap, she used vines to entangle it and blocked it with boulders. After several days, she managed to break through most of the trap.

Alice led the elven flying squadron to patrol the skies day and night, closely monitoring the movements of the dark forces.

One day, she discovered a swarm of dark bats transporting magical supplies to Shadow Canyon and decisively ordered an attack. The elves unleashed a hail of arrows, and the dark bats scattered in panic, leaving the magical supplies strewn across the ground and slowing down the dark forces' preparations.

Groom led the new recruits in simulated combat exercises at the edge of the world of light, honing their tactical coordination and improving their combat skills.

He moved among the troops, correcting their movements and teaching them techniques for dealing with different situations, gradually transforming this young team into a highly capable force.

After Ye Chen traveled around and collected all the magical materials, he rushed to Shadow Canyon to meet up with Lillian.

Based on the canyon's terrain, the two began setting up a light-sealing array. Ye Chen inscribed runes, while Lillian infused them with natural magic to stabilize them. The rune light and the vitality of the green plants intertwined, and the array began to take shape.

As the night of the full moon approaches, the forces of darkness grow ever more active. In Shadow Canyon, dark mages gather, their black robes billowing, staves standing tall, surrounded by swarms of dark creatures that roar and howl, creating a suffocatingly oppressive atmosphere.

"This all-out attack must succeed, failure is not an option. After the destruction of the world of light, this world will be ruled by us, the masters of darkness!" The leader of the dark forces stood on a high place, waving his staff and shouting at the top of his lungs.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen and the others were ready. Alice led the elves to hide behind the mountains surrounding the canyon, while Grum led his elite troops to lie in ambush at the entrance. Ye Chen and Lillian sat at the core of the formation, waiting for the right moment.

The full moon hung high, its silvery light casting its glow, and the forces of darkness poured out in droves, like a black torrent surging from Shadow Canyon. The moment they stepped out of the canyon, Alice gave the order, and the elven arrows, imbued with the magic of light, rained down upon the dark mages. Caught off guard, the dark mages hastily raised their magical shields to defend themselves. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Groom led his troops out, a forest of battleaxes and spears thrusting straight at the dark creatures.

"Hmph, such trivial skills, yet you dare to show off your limited abilities before an expert!" The leader of the dark forces sneered, waving his staff, and dark magic surged towards the group of 5.0 people like a raging sea.

Just as the magic was about to strike, Ye Chen activated the Light Sealing Array. Light burst forth, runes shone, and a golden light cage appeared out of thin air, trapping the main force of the dark forces within.

"What's going on? What kind of formation is this?!" The leader of the dark forces panicked and kept casting spells to attack the light barrier, but it was all in vain. The spells struck the barrier, creating ripples before disappearing without a trace.

The trapped dark creatures frantically rammed into the light barrier, but each time they were bounced back, resulting in heavy casualties.

Seeing this, Groom laughed loudly: "Today is your death day! You still want to destroy the world of light? Dream on!" With that, he led his warriors into the light barrier and began to fight the trapped dark creatures. In an instant, shouts of battle and magical explosions mingled together.

Alice constantly shifted her position in the air, shooting down any dark mages trying to escape, ensuring the stability of the formation. Lillian, meanwhile, assisted Ye Chen within the formation, using natural magic to repair any damage.

But the dark forces fought desperately, some dark mages even burning their souls to unleash forbidden magic in an attempt to tear a breach in the great formation. The formation's light flickered, teetering on the brink of collapse. Ye Chen was frantic, pouring all his magic power into it while chanting ancient incantations to strengthen the formation's defenses.

"Hold on, everyone! Victory is just around the corner!" Ye Chen shouted, his voice echoing across the battlefield. Hearing this, the morale of the troops soared, and their attacks became even more ferocious.

Finally, with everyone's concerted efforts, the forces of darkness were completely eradicated. The Shadow Canyon reeked of blood, dark creatures lay dead everywhere, and dark mages were reduced to ashes. The world of light was once again restored to peace. But looking at the carnage of the battlefield, everyone understood that this war between light and darkness was far from over. The road ahead was still fraught with difficulties, requiring them to join hands and persevere to protect this hard-won land of light.

After that, the world of light entered a period of recuperation. Ye Chen and the others knew that relying solely on passive defense would not bring long-term peace and stability; they had to take the initiative to explore the roots of the dark forces and eradicate them completely.

Thus, Ye Chen, carrying the Holy Scripture of Light, embarked on a journey to find ancient ruins, hoping to discover clues to restrain dark magic and uncover the conspiracy of the dark forces; Alice returned to the Elf Forest, summoned the elders of various elven races, and discussed reforming elven magic to make it more powerful in the fight against darkness; Lillian, on the other hand, ventured into the secret realms of nature to communicate with the nature spirits.

By drawing upon the purest power of nature and enhancing their magical skills, they cultivate more wondrous magical plants to serve in defense. Grum takes root in the training camp, recruits warriors from all over the world, integrates the combat skills of various races, formulates a brand-new tactical system, and builds an elite army that is capable of fighting and fearless of the darkness.

Ye Chen braved the elements, sleeping in the open along the way, traversing towering mountains and desolate deserts according to ancient records, searching for traces of ancient relics. One day, he arrived deep in the barren desert, where the sun blazed high, yellow sand filled the sky, and the heat was unbearable.

Just as he was nearly dehydrated and exhausted, an ancient pyramid-shaped ruin suddenly appeared before him. The outer walls of the ruin were covered with mysterious runes, emitting a faint light, as if beckoning him. Ye Chen forced himself to enter the ruin.

The ruins were eerie and dark, filled with an ancient aura. Ghostly blue flames flickered on the walls, illuminating the path ahead. Ye Chen proceeded cautiously, when suddenly the ground collapsed, and he fell into an underground chamber.

Inside the secret chamber, ancient stone statues stood, each holding a strange magical artifact. On the central stone platform sat a crystal that exuded a mysterious aura, with stars seemingly twinkling within it.

Ye Chen approached the stone platform, and just as he was about to touch the crystal, the surrounding stone statues came to life and attacked him with their magical weapons.

He quickly dodged to the side, flipping through the Holy Scripture in his hand and chanting incantations, creating a protective shield of light around him. "I wonder what secrets this ruin holds, to have such a trap set up," Ye Chen murmured, his eyes fixed on the statue's movements, trying to find a flaw.

He discovered that although the stone statues attacked fiercely, their movements were rigid and followed fixed trajectories.

He moved swiftly among the stone statues, using light magic to disrupt the artifact's operation, causing the statues' attacks to gradually slow. Seizing this opportunity, he leaped onto the stone platform and grasped the crystal. In an instant, a vast amount of information flooded his mind, all precious data about the ancient war between light and darkness, the origin of dark magic, and methods to counter it.

"So that's how it is. Dark magic actually originates from the greedy absorption of forbidden power. To completely defeat it, its source must be purified." Ye Chen suddenly realized, put away the crystal, cast a light magic spell to break through the secret chamber's exit, and embarked on his journey home.

In the elven forest, Alice sat with elders of various races under an ancient sacred tree, discussing magical innovations.

“Dark magic is becoming increasingly bizarre and unpredictable. While our elven magic is agile, its offensive power is somewhat lacking. We need to incorporate new elements.”

Alice said, her brow furrowed, toying with an elven arrow in her hand.

An elder nodded and said, "The depths of the forest contain mysterious natural magic that can be extracted and incorporated into archery to enhance the magic-breaking power of arrows; furthermore, we can imitate the dark magic's technique of compressing magic to make elven magic more explosive."

Having reached a consensus, the group set out to put their plan into action. Alice led the young elves deep into the forest to search for the place where mysterious magic converged.

In a secluded valley, where magic permeated the air like a misty fog, Alice directed the elves to set up a magic circle to collect and refine the magic.

After many days, a batch of arrows imbued with mysterious magic were made. Upon test firing, the arrows pierced through trees and easily broke through magical barriers, greatly increasing their power.

Lillian entered the natural realm, a place bursting with vibrant life, blooming flowers, and lush green grass. She found the habitat of the nature spirits and exchanged ideas with them. "I wish to cultivate plants that can resist the corrosive effects of dark magic. Do you know of any effective methods?" Lillian asked.

The leader of the nature elves waved his wand, scattering a shower of multicolored pollen. The pollen took root and sprouted into crystal flowers. "These flowers can absorb dark magic and transform it into their own nutrients. Cultivate them; they will surely be of great help to you," the leader said.

Lillian was overjoyed and returned to town with the crystal flower seeds, carefully cultivating them. Nourished by her magic, the seeds sprouted and blossomed. When the 350 flowers were in full bloom, the surrounding darkness dissipated. If placed on a defensive line, any dark creatures that approached would have their magic weakened and their movements slowed.

Groom welcomed warriors from all races to the training camp.

There were agile orcs, magic-savvy dwarves, and goblins skilled in assassination. Looking at the diverse warriors below, he proclaimed, "Regardless of your origins, you have entered this camp today to fight for the protection of the light. I will teach you tactics that combine the strengths of various races, making you sharp blades on the battlefield!"

He first had the orcs demonstrate their strength and skills, then taught the dwarves how to combine magic with weapons to unleash greater power; next, he had the goblins teach him assassination and stealth techniques, and then devised team tactics, simulating different battlefield environments for practice.

From initial awkwardness to perfect teamwork, the Warriors have shown their potential as a brand-new ace team.

Months later, Ye Chen and the others gathered in the World of Light. Ye Chen shared what he had learned from the ruins, and while everyone was amazed, they also felt a great sense of responsibility. "Now that we know the root of dark magic, our next step is to find a place to implement the purification method and eradicate the dark forces completely," Ye Chen said with a determined look.

Just as they were discussing this, a scout rushed over, reporting, "Report! A large amount of dark magic has been discovered gathering in the distant Demon Abyss, suspected to be a new conspiracy by dark forces. Furthermore, mysterious figures in black robes are frequently seen entering and leaving the area, behaving strangely."

"The Abyss of Demons, that's where the darkest aura is. It seems they're still up to no good. We must set off immediately!" Grum roared, gripping his battle axe tightly, his face filled with urgency.

Ye Chen's expression was solemn. He glanced at everyone present and said resolutely, "The Demon Abyss is extremely dangerous, but we cannot allow the dark forces to stir up trouble again. We must be careful and make full preparations before we go there."

Having said that, he gripped the Holy Scripture of Light tightly in his hand. The scripture seemed to sense the impending great battle, trembling slightly and emitting a soft golden light, as if encouraging everyone.

Alice gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and nodded, saying, "I will have the elves prepare a sufficient number of arrows, especially those imbued with mysterious magic, which will surely prove invaluable at crucial moments. The terrain of the Abyss is complex, so I will also select the elves most skilled in stealth and reconnaissance to scout out the surrounding area in advance, in order to prevent us from falling into an ambush by the forces of darkness."

Her eyes shone with determination, and her fingers gently stroked the quiver, as if she had already devised various countermeasures in her mind.

Lillian also stood up, a crystal flower seed appearing in her hand, shimmering with vibrant life. "I will bring enough crystal flower seedlings and try to plant them at the edge of the Abyss to see if we can weaken the dense dark aura and create a more favorable environment for us. Furthermore, I can use natural magic to sense the flow of magic within the Abyss and help everyone avoid dangerous areas."

Groom brandished his battle axe, creating a whistling gust of wind in the air. "My warriors are all eager to fight the forces of darkness again! They are proficient in the combat techniques of various races, and their tactical coordination is already superb. They will surely become sharp blades in the charge, tearing through the defenses of the forces of darkness."

After a brief rest, the group set off towards the Abyss of Demons. Along the way, howling winds carried a pungent, decaying stench, like a menacing warning from the Abyss of Demons.

Upon reaching the mountains surrounding the Abyss, the elven reconnaissance team sent by Alice quietly returned. The leading elf looked tense and landed in front of the group in a flash, urgently reporting, "My lord, the entrance to the Abyss is covered with strange magical runes, seemingly some kind of sealing and warning array. There are also a large number of strangely shaped dark puppets patrolling around. Any slight movement will attract more dark creatures."

Ye Chen frowned and pondered for a moment, then opened the Holy Scripture of Light, his fingertips sliding along the ancient pages as he muttered incantations.

After a long pause, he looked up and said, "This magic rune array is troublesome, but not insurmountable. I can cast the Light Purification Spell to try to break some of the runes and disrupt its sealing power. However, during the process, everyone will need to provide cover and defend against the attacks of the dark puppets."
