Meanwhile, within the Ring of Luxulania...
A curvaceous demon sat at a luxurious bar while sipping from a small cup as she scanned her surrounding within a crowded tavern. At a glance, she listed a number of targets capable of making it onto Apollo's radar. However, most of these individuals fell into two archetypes of demons―Succubi and Incubi. But, that was to be expected seeing as she was within the heart of Luxulania.
'It's been quite some time since I've seen my young Lord, but he sent me here for a reason... I'm to locate as many demons of temptation as possible to enforce the next phase, but it's harder than he made it seem,' Geneva thought to herself with a small pout.
Despite her stellar appearance, Geneva found it difficult to completely tempt most of the demons present in this Ring for two reasons. One, as they lived within this rings fulled to the brim with Luxuria, they held a certain resistance to its effects, increasing the difficulty of Geneva controlling their mind. Not to mention, the continual fantasizing about Asmidia made general temptation even more difficult.
Secondly, most of the demons present were moved by physical acts. However, Geneva vowed to herself that no one besides her master was worthy of her physical contact. Thus, Geneva was forced to think of another way to acquire their attention.
Initially, her plan worked, allowing her to gain the attention of Asmidia. But, after one visit, they never met again. While Geneva had the impression it was related to her, she didn't press the matter. After all, she noticed a considerable change within Asmidia when they met.
Her coquettish nature disappeared completely to be replaced by passive-aggressive hostility. While no open attacks were made, her words seemed targetted at hidden desires she kept to herself and never voice. At the same time, it seemed as if Asmidia kept her at arm's length, causing Geneva to feel a watchful eye on many occasions.
'Am I being paranoid?' Geneva wondered while taking another silent sip of her drink. Although it was difficult to sense at first, she felt an intermittent prying gaze continually peering in her direction. At first, she wasn't sure if this was linked to someone taking up an interest in her or her past speculations.
Either way, Geneva knew she couldn't stay in one place too long lest she attracts unwanted, especially since the area she chose to focus on was littered with Archdemons as well as occasional Noblesse.
Of course, she wasn't afraid of a fight. When it came to individual strength, Geneva was within the top five combatants of the Dominus Household, so she was more than capable of holding her own if a situation turned bleak. Be that as it may, just because she was capable of defending her didn't mean she was openly seeking trouble.
Eventually, Geneva tapped her figure against the counter while sliding her change back. In the next moment, a few Fragments of Sin were left on the counter as Geneva vanished from sight.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, the individual lashed their hand out, grasping at Geneva's throat with a lightning-quick grasp. Fortunately for Geneva's her reaction speed was adequate. A pair of remodeled phoenix wings, matching that of a demon unfurled from her back, allowing her to retreat quickly.
'So quick...' Geneva thought to herself with a frown. At the same time, a rapier with pinkish veins and a silver gem embedded on the crossguard appeared in Geneva's palm. Although this was her first incident since coming here, Fuhrer had warned her that there were individuals within Luxulania that would stop at nothing to absorb the Luxuria of other demons.
Should that happen, Fuhrer informed her that she should fight her hardest because there was a large chance that they would have performed this action countless times. At the very least, their Sin Purity would be obscure. What's more, this behavior was usually employed by Noblesse-level characters.
Immediately, Geneva's blazed with a pink flame as her Ira and Luxuria Stigmata's flared. Thanks to her bloodline as an Infernal Succubus, she could use these two Stigmata in tandem without suffering a backlash. It simply cost an absurd amount of Luxuria to avoid the backlash.
But, the consumption of her resources was better than suffering the backlash of conflicting powers.
A moment later, Geneva held her rapier before he body while taking up a fencing stance. At the same time, her hood fell, revealing her stellar appearance, which was heightened by the presence of her haze.
Once it fell, a sinister cackle was heard from the other side. "As expected of something carrying such a desirable type of Luxuria, that appearance is nothing to scoff at. It should even be on par with Lady Asmidia. Now I want to taste you even more!"
Woosh!
Numerous tentacles formed from Luxuria hurtled toward Geneva, attacking her from all angles. If one looked closely, they'd realized a number of small teeth on the edge of the tentacles. Not only were these tentacles used to employ attacks, but this was also how the individual absorbed Luxuria from others.
A sense of danger washed over Geneva's mind as she instinctively evaded and deflected the incoming tentacles, oftentimes using her wings to knock away some of the tentacles moving at an irregular.
"Oh, come on now~! Don't make this more difficult than it has to be. You should just resign yourself to the inevitable and accept this fateful event," the individual said with a cackle.
"Unfortunately, I have no intentions of doing so. In fact, I should say the same to you."
