Chapter 93: Pride of Korea
by fnovelpia
We tried hard to persuade the succubus.
There was no other option but her at the moment.
“Yeah, most dragons are male, so it’s all on you, succubus.”
“Right, throughout history, no courtesan could surpass you. Show us that not even the most notorious femme fatales or the legendary beauties who caused kingdoms to fall can beat you!”
Succubus, you can do it!
“Wait, are you complimenting me or insulting me? And what if it’s female?”
“Even if it’s female, you should be able to seduce it.”
“Hold on, aren’t they just a bunch of bones? Gender doesn’t even matter at this point. And when a succubus absorbs energy—”
She tried to crack a dirty joke, but I cut her off.
“That’s enough! No more dirty jokes, it’s not allowed on broadcast.”
“Broadcast? What the hell?”
That’s right.
We’re being filmed live.
The succubus looked shocked when she saw the phone that the young girl was holding.
“Come on, succubus, it’s time to pull your weight. You can do this.”
“There’s a saying: ‘He who doesn’t work, doesn’t eat.’ I’m sure you’ll earn your keep.”
Even Cheonma joined in, encouraging her.
The succubus received more support than ever.
“Ugh, fine.”
“Look, Succubus! You are the pride of Korea! Thousands of viewers are watching. Only you can save us! Distract him with your charms until the spellcaster gets that spear into his magic circle!”
[Succubus! Succubus!]
[Kanora! Kanora!]
[Go, Succubus! You can do it!]
[The pride of Korea! K-Succubus!]
[Her alluring presence is magnificent…]
Even the lazy bystanders were cheering for her.
“Wow, I never thought the succubus would get this much support.”
“Why is no one cheering for my voice?”
“Well, you weren’t exactly called for.”
While the young girl and the fish people were distracted, I glanced at the succubus, who was grinning.
Yeah, that’s it.
She’s the type that thrives on praise.
Look at her—she’s loving it.
“Alright, if that’s what everyone wants, I’ll do it!”
That was easy.
This is the succubus who once led an era?
She’s got no excuse now.
And so, the succubus—called the pride of Korea—walked out with the fish people and the girl from the dragon’s trembling jaws.
The elf wanted to join too, so we let them go together.
“What are we supposed to do now?”
“They said we’re backup dancers.”
“And the song?”
The siren, who was leaving the dragon’s mouth, seemed reluctant to let go of the idea of singing.
Oh, but that’s wrong.
If she sings, that dragon’s going to go berserk.
“Hey! If you sing, the dragon will go nuts.”
“Wow, no need to be so harsh.”
“Who told you to be born a siren?”
“All she does is sing. I’m so envious I could cry.”
Yeah, life’s like that.
Those two fish people could make great comedians.
“But isn’t it a bit much that a lustful demon is the pride of Korea?”
Battle mage looked baffled.
Well, I did say that earlier to persuade her.
But thinking about it now, it’s like saying all hunters are worse than a succubus.
Not a bad thought.
After all, they kind of are.
[Right?]
[How bad must the hunters be if the succubus is the pride of Korea? Haha.]
[These guild idiots, man.]
I looked at the young girl’s phone and saw that the viewers were also reacting well.
“Succubus is better than the hunters, at least. And viewers, just so you know, that succubus has been redeemed. She’s even a follower of Kanora!”
Yeah, she’s now a follower of the goddess, claiming she’ll seduce even more men.
[Oh, really?]
[A succubus who believes in a goddess?]
[Is she going to visit men in their dreams and thank the goddess for their daily bread?]
“Pffft!”
Cheonma, who was watching the chat, burst out laughing.
Ttaengchilli, being a machine, didn’t show much emotion, but his mouth twitched slightly.
“Yeah, let’s just wait and see.”
For now, we decided to enjoy the rollercoaster ride in the dragon’s trembling mouth.
Rumble…
“Screeeeech!”
“Battle mage! What are you doing?”
“Don’t talk to me right now. I need to concentrate to pull this off in one go. I can barely keep up with the shaking.”
Even Battle mage is strong, so how powerful is this move that she’s been preparing for so long?
“What are you doing, Pixie?”
“Look over there.”
“Oh.”
Pixie pointed outside the dragon’s mouth, where we could see the succubus and the fish dancing energetically in the distance.
“That’s really pitiful. Seeing that, being a succubus must be tough.”
“If it were me, I’d bite my tongue and end it. She’s had a tough life too. I wonder if the saintess is teasing her too much.”
“Give it a rest. She has her own convictions. Though, I wouldn’t want to be reborn as a succubus either.”
“Honestly, seducing beasts is kind of messed up.”
Everyone shared their opinions.
Yeah, the succubus looks pretty ridiculous right now.
She’s swaying her hips in a seductive dance in front of a dragon.
It’s funny watching her bounce her hips like that.
Next to her, the half-mermaid fish people are flopping around.
I wonder if they’ll be embarrassed later.
“Do you think she’ll really be able to seduce it?”
Can she really?
Honestly, I’m still unsure.
Battle mage might finish it off faster if she gets used to the Disco Pang Pang and stabs it with the spear.
-Despite how she looks, her abilities have improved a lot.
Oh?
Is that true?
-Our lovely first disciple underestimates that demon too much. She’s actually been quite active as a succubus, living in luxury and indulgence. She’s been involved with dozens of kings. But let’s stop there. She can probably handle a dragon easily.
So she’s had relationships with dozens of kings?
Is that what you’re saying?
I can’t really picture it.
Should we consider her similar to the succubi in our world?
-The succubi of Yukran are closer to simple monsters. But this succubus is among the top tier even for her kind.
“Grrrr.”
“Oh?”
Just as the goddess said.
“The dragon finally stopped?”
It was true.
The dragon had stopped moving.
The Disco Pang Pang ride was over.
[Wow, she actually looks pretty cute up close.]
[Lol, as expected from Korea’s pride.]
[Lol, check out those seductive bone curves.]
[Wow, that chest animation rivals the saintess!]
The viewers were making comments like that.
“Now that I look closer, the succubus does look pretty sexy.”
“Yeah, even as a woman, I can see the appeal.”
“Hey, you’re a robot.”
“Hey, I was human before! I can still feel attracted to things!”
Hmm, I didn’t expect it to affect even us.
“Alright, it’s time to wrap this up.”
As much as I pity the dragon, it’s time to take care of business.
We ventured deeper into the now motionless dragon’s mouth.
What I saw then was a red magic circle.
I feel like I’ve seen that somewhere before.
No way… That guy wouldn’t be here, would he?
I’ll chalk it up to my imagination.
“Alright, dragon, time for a breath freshener.”
It’s time to take care of that dragon’s foul breath.
“Okay, time to strike.”
Battle mage raised her giant spear of light high into the air.
Now it’s time to drive it right in.
“The magic circle is practically begging to be pierced, glowing like that.”
It’s almost like it’s pleading for someone to stab it.
“Looks like it’s too calm to even breathe fire.”
“Alright then!”
Crackle!
Battle mage’s giant spear slammed perfectly into the spot.
With a blinding light, the magic circle shattered into pieces.
“Grooooooaaaarrr!”
“Hoo. Yeah, that’s how it should be. This is what I wanted.”
Cheonma nodded with satisfaction, as if relieved.
The magic circle shattered spectacularly.
This should be enough.
Yes, definitely.
“Graaahhh!”
The Disco Pang Pang resumed.
Now, this dragon had nothing else it could do.
Both its hands and feet were bound—there was no choice.
“It’s starting to thrash around?”
Even so, the magic circle was broken.
“Ugh, that’s gross.”
The dragon was going wild, twisting its body left and right. It was like watching a child throwing a fit at their first dentist visit.
I found it oddly satisfying.
But unlike before, it had clearly lost a lot of strength.
That’s natural, after all.
Its throat had been pierced.
“Alright, let’s start wrecking it from the inside.”
It was time to completely destroy this dragon from within.
Without its breath attack, this thing was just a pathetic dragon.
“We’re attacking from inside?”
Now’s our chance.
Since it’s in pain, attacking from the inside will leave it defenseless.
Its neck isn’t in great condition either.
If we keep attacking like this, it won’t be hard to take it down.
“Yes, let’s demolish it now. Once that talisman breaks, it’ll get a lot tougher. We should beat it up while it can’t use its breath attack.”
This isn’t the end for this thing.
Originally, it was a powerful creature that destroyed everything in its path.
We need to take care of it while its limbs are bound by the talisman.
It got distracted by the succubus’s pathetic dance—that’ll be its downfall.
Crack! Crunch!
Finally, its skull started to break.
Yes, this is exactly what I wanted.
This is why we need to attack from the inside.
Look at that!
What was so tough on the outside is crumbling easily now.
Ah, this is the satisfying feeling of wielding a mace.
It’s almost too easy.
We’re smashing it effortlessly.
“Gwaaaaaahhh!”
“Who would’ve thought it’d be this easy.”
Cheonma broke through the dragon’s palate with her Cheonma slash as she spoke.
It wasn’t a statement of admiration but rather disbelief at how easily it was breaking apart.
It was clear now.
The dragon had become significantly weaker.
“Let’s finish off the skull.”
“The inside is pretty fragile, huh?”
Crack! Crackle!
The magic circle likely played a role too.
The one from before wasn’t just about suppressing the stench—it must have weakened it from within as well.
“Ha ha ha ha! You’re finally dying!”
“Battle mage is terrifying.”
Ttaengchilli trembled while throwing punches.
Honestly, no matter how much of a machine he is, the way she throws those punches so easily is even scarier.
“Hasn’t Battle mage worked the hardest in all of this?”
“Yeah. Do you know how much energy I’ve saved up because of this rotten thing?”
Crack! Boom!
Battle mage’s glowing spear exploded, destroying everything around it.
As expected, when it comes to close combat, is Battle mage the strongest?
The arrows I thought were useless were as destructive as a hero’s ultimate strike targeting just one enemy.
“Kyaaaaaaah!”
“Where is this scream even coming from?”
It must be from its body.
It’s probably its body.
It’s a dragon after all.
Its soul is somehow clinging to its skeleton.
That’s the reason.”
“Kruaaaah!”
After smashing for a while, we finally shattered the skull completely.
At last, we’ve defeated this annoying lizard.
