Volume 8, Chapter 12 – Mistaken for a Succubus

Skill Cognitive Tampering.

This skill was copied by Tianyin using Envy’s ability when she previously watched matches between players.

Although this skill did not have much practical use, with no lethality and no danger at all. Still, this skill was also rare, a relatively high-tier skill.

Just like the skill description introduced, this skill was to tamper with cognition.

And the purpose of Tianyin using this skill was to tamper with those demons’ cognition of her. More precisely, it was to disguise herself as a demon, and then blend into them!

Yes, that’s right, Tianyin was no longer being human!!!

Of course, that was how it was said, but it was only tampering with cognition. In appearance, Tianyin was still a silver-haired loli, but in the demons’ eyes, Tianyin with the appearance of a silver-haired loli was a genuine demon.

That’s right, clearly she was a silver-haired loli, but because their cognition had been tampered with, in the demons’ eyes, the silver-haired loli Tianyin was a demon.

So, although Cognitive Tampering had no combat power at all, just this bug-like effect alone was undoubtedly very strong.

And after applying Cognitive Tampering to herself and setting the relevant settings, Tianyin immediately looked for a chance to mix into the demon camp.

To be honest, Tianyin originally thought blending into the demon camp should be rather difficult.

But the result surprised Tianyin a little.

After finding a place with no demons and slipping into the camp, it wasn’t long before Tianyin bumped into several demons whose whole bodies were wreathed in flames, and these demons, without exception, ignored Tianyin’s existence when they saw her.

Reaԁ οո ΚαtRеаԁіոgCаfе

Yes, ignored her.

『Even though being ignored so casually is a pretty ideal result, what’s with that look of contempt in those demons’ eyes!』

Sensitive at heart, and at the same time instinctively sensing what the demons were thinking, Tianyin instantly bristled.

『Hah… among demons, whether you’re strong or not is actually related to body size? The more burly and taller you are means you’re stronger? So in you demons’ eyes, this tiny body of mine is just cannon fodder with zero combat power?』

Even though Tianyin had matured a lot, she still couldn’t accept this kind of blatant contempt from demons.

And compared to Tianyin’s inner grumbling, Samael let out a laugh with no clear meaning.

「Pfft… Xiaoyin still cares about what these demons think? You’re already Throne-tier, you don’t need to care about these demons.」

『I know the logic, but them mocking me for being short is just infuriating, okay.』

Grinding her teeth as she complained, Tianyin’s tone was also indignant.

However, even if she said that, Tianyin still knew this was not the time to throw a tantrum. After successfully blending into the demon camp, Tianyin began to wander around inside the demon camp.

Of course, while wandering around, Tianyin also had to silently endure the scornful looks from the demons coming and going in the camp.

『Damn it, I really want to deal with these guys in a way that leaves not even scraps!』

Enduring the demons’ scornful gazes, Tianyin’s heart also rose with thoughts that were extremely dangerous to demons.

Tianyin wandered around in the camp looking for an opportunity, but what disappointed Tianyin was that after wandering for a long time, she simply couldn’t find any good chance.

『Seriously… even though I know demons are easy to provoke, there’s just no good opportunity at all to stir up demon infighting…』

After wandering for a long time, Tianyin couldn’t help feeling discouraged.

She casually found a secluded corner and, for now, treated this place as a temporary resting spot.

「Well, if it were that simple, it would feel suspicious instead. So Xiaoyin, don’t complain right now. After all, this is your first time doing something like this. Having no experience is pretty normal.」

Samael comforted Tianyin.

But after hearing Samael’s words, Tianyin couldn’t help rolling her eyes.

『I know the logic, Samael… I’m not losing confidence because of a tiny setback. I already said before that it’s impossible for me to give up this plan, so quitting halfway isn’t my style, you know.』

「Well… if that’s the case, then keep holding on properly!」

『Hmph, hmph, I know even if you don’t say it…』

And right as Tianyin was communicating with Samael in her mind, in the outside world, a demon that looked incomparably tall, with strange horns on its head, moved over toward where Tianyin stood.

“Wuh eh… a demon is here…”

Rеad oո КatReаdіոgСαfе

In her heart, she immediately cut off the exchange with Samael, and Tianyin shifted her attention to the outside.

And as her gaze moved, only then did Tianyin clearly see the newcomer’s appearance.

A tall demon with strange horns, and behind it were pitch-black wings resembling those of a bat.

The demon’s appearance was ferocious and ugly, and the height of the demon’s body was about as tall as eight or nine Tianyins stacked together.

“You lowly succubus, why did you run over here? Don’t you know this isn’t a place you succubi can set foot in?”

The tall demon approached, and the first thing it said made Tianyin a little stunned.

Huh? Succubus?

So I got seen as a succubus by these demons?

For a moment, Tianyin felt somewhat regretful.

Of course, being mistaken for a succubus wasn’t Tianyin’s mistake. If you just looked at Tianyin’s silver-haired loli appearance, then among demons, succubi really weren’t that far off from Tianyin.

And being small and petite, only a demon image matched Tianyin like this. So it was understandable that she was thought to be a demon among demons.

But unfortunately, Tianyin didn’t think of that at this moment, instead looking completely confused.

Rеαⅾ oո ΚαtRеaԁіոɡСαfe

“T-That, I don’t know… this is…”

Stammering as she spoke, Tianyin planned to muddle through in front of this demon.

After all, she had come to the demon camp with ill intentions, and if it was discovered that she wasn’t a demon, then maybe the siege war would erupt ahead of time.

So, after being noticed, Tianyin still decided to watch and wait, and if she really was found out, then Tianyin would have no choice but to flip the table and silence them.

“You don’t know? Hmph, no wonder. You succubi, aside from being somewhat useful for pleasing Demon Lords, your combat power is no different from cavemen. With strength like yours, not knowing this is a place you can’t set foot in is understandable.”

Even though demons were a group of chaotic and brutal existences, within that chaos and brutality, demons were still a group with shrewd brains.

Unless driven by powerful desire, generally demons fought with their brains against their own kind.

“Y-Yes, sorry… I really didn’t know that this side is something I can’t approach…”

On the surface, she put on a nervously flustered look, but in her heart, Tianyin already cursed the entire demon family thoroughly.

‘Damn it, they actually see me as a succubus!’

At this moment, that was Tianyin’s truest thought.
