Since she had encountered someone stronger within the same tier, she definitely had to consume him.
While Xia Jin was surprised by his strength, the flame demon was even more shocked.
This was because he had used a significant amount of power.
Chaos Flame Demons were high-level demons. While they might not reach exceptionally high tiers in their lifetime, they were absolute experts within their own rank.
Yet, the strength he took pride in had failed against this girl.
“You can't possibly be human,” the flame demon growled, his voice thick with disbelief.
Without giving Xia Jin a moment to prepare, he spat a mouthful of lava.
The molten rock, mixed with flames, expanded as it surged toward her, forming a sphere of staggering proportions.
Xia Jin reacted with a light leap backward, activating Psionic Blast to launch a powerful shockwave forward.
Boom!
The two skills collided in mid-air.
The terrifying lava was repelled over ten meters by an invisible force, slamming back into the flame demon.
Xia Jin hadn't used much mental energy for this Psionic Blast—only the amount provided by about 200,000 Zerg.
However, the cumulative effect of that conversion left the flame demon completely stunned.
Psionic power didn't just interfere with matter; it also dealt massive mental damage.
At lower mental intensities, this effect grew slowly and wasn't very noticeable. But once it stacked to a certain point, it triggered a qualitative change.
Under the impact, the flame demon was left utterly battered, both physically and mentally, by the chaotic psionic storm.
“Ugh.”
Nearby, the succubus retreated.
Her expression was one of shock, but as she calmed down, a sense of inexplicable panic filled her eyes.
This girl's power level was actually higher than her own.
Among high-level demons, their own energy density was considered unrivaled.
It was precisely because the flame demon was so powerful that she had chosen to attach herself to him.
Whoosh—
Two fleshy arms shot out, this time targeting the succubus.
She tried to flee, but Xia Jin ensnared her directly, dragging her forward as she screamed.
“Roar—”
The Chaos Flame Demon tried to spit lava again, but Xia Jin used her psionic power to propel herself above him. She delivered a heavy kick with her slender legs straight down.
Boom!
The ground within a three-hundred-meter radius collapsed, sinking seven or eight meters deep.
The combined force of Tier 10 strength and the psionic power of hundreds of thousands of Zerg shattered the flame demon's shell and left a massive crater in his head.
With the strike finished, Xia Jin performed a graceful backflip and landed elegantly. The flame demon lay miserably on the ground.
“It's over.”
She let out a small sigh of relief.
It was a good thing she had the Swarm. Otherwise, she might not have won relying on her own power alone.
The collective mental energy of the entire Zerg race was truly formidable; perhaps that was where the Queen's true power originated.
After slowly absorbing the body, Xia Jin turned to the succubus. “Should I choose to eat you, or...”
“Don't eat me! Don't eat me! I'll do anything you want!” The succubus dropped to her knees instantly.
She activated her charm ability, and the surrounding soldiers were momentarily swayed.
Unfortunately for her, her allure wasn't enough. When the soldiers glanced at Xia Jin, their minds cleared instantly. They realized that the Zerg girl was far more captivating.
At the very least, looking at Xia Jin caused a brief sense of being lost in her beauty.
Who was the real succubus here?
Xia Jin looked back at the men with confusion. In that moment, many hearts skipped a beat, and some almost forgot to breathe.
The succubus noticed this and felt a wave of crushing defeat.
“Impossible! A mere human!”
A mere human was more attractive than a succubus? It defied logic!
“Uh...”
Although Xia Jin had no intention of competing, she really wanted to say... she couldn't help it.
Who told her to be born this beautiful?
“So, you'll be responsible for taking me to the demon city.” Xia Jin raised her hand. If the other party dared to refuse, she was prepared to kill her on the spot.
Sure enough, the succubus agreed immediately.
“Very well.”
Lowering her hand, she looked back at the human soldiers.
“Go hide near the teleportation array.”
She wasn't afraid of them running away. If they dared to use the teleportation array to escape to the East Continent, the swarms of Zerg lying in wait nearby would immediately strike and kill them.
...
After getting the succubus's agreement, Xia Jin slightly altered her appearance. She grew some black scales and disguised herself as a normal demon.
“What do you think of this look?”
“A female flame demon? It's hard to tell the difference... but you're too beautiful. A flame demon more beautiful than a succubus? Isn't that a bit too much?”
The succubus was left speechless.
