[CH.3] When Encountering a Little Tail, the Knight Cannot Help but Tremble
Among the demonic races that confront the church, there are primarily seven major races, each with its own demon lord. They are Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust, representing the weaknesses in human emotions. They feed on these weaknesses to control human hearts. The representative of lust is naturally the Succubus tribe.
And now, a Succubus has appeared in Kieran's line of sight.
"A Succubus? How did she end up on the ceiling?"
Lying on the ground with a limp body and a groggy head, Kieran, upon seeing the Succubus, instinctively wanted to pick up her sword and slay the intruder.
"Yeah... that's a mirror..." After a moment, Kieran realized that the object on the ceiling was a mirror.
Don't be surprised why there is a mirror on the ceiling, this is how the inn is decorated, perhaps to add some charm.
Since the mirror reflects the Succubus, that means...
"Hmm!" A sense of ominous premonition arose in her heart. Kieran sat up, and her head stiffly lowered, looking at her own body.
Her line of sight was blocked by something towering, and the glare made it difficult to see her stomach clearly.
"Ugh... Hmm!? Ahhhhh!"
For a moment, Kieran, with a puzzled expression, was blinded by the scene before her. Then, as if struck by lightning, she was terrified by what she saw and screamed out loud."
The next moment, Kieran covered her mouth in terror because the scream was clearly a soft, feminine voice.
"No way! This can't be! It's impossible, it's impossible!" Kieran shouted while crawling into the bedroom and saw herself in the mirror.
A breathtakingly beautiful and enchanting face, with pink watery eyes staring in terror, and light pink long hair flowing straight down to her waist.
On either side of her head were a pair of small horns resembling those on an underage goat, and behind her were a pair of wings with a strong presence.
Kieran turned her head in confusion to see if these things were growing on her. But she discovered that above her fair buttocks, at the position of the tailbone, there was a long, slender tail, entirely black, with the tip shaped like a heart đź’—.
Perhaps due to the shock, the tail stood straight up like a stick, resembling a shy plant. When Kieran reached out to touch it, it curled up like a shy plant. At the same time, she felt a sensation like an electric shock, rushing from her tailbone all the way up to her head, causing her to shudder involuntarily. "Hiss..."
Now the situation was very clear, all signs indicated that this was the body of a Succubus!
"Illusion! It must be an illusion!" The impact of the scenes before her was too great. Kieran, one of the strongest temple knights, had somehow become a demon, specifically a Succubus! She could not accept all of this under any circumstances!
Kieran took a deep breath, closed her eyes, cleared her mind, and then used her hands to feel her body. But the once rock-solid muscles were completely gone, replaced by...
Even so, Kieran still couldn't believe what was happening to her. She thought it must be that she wasn't opening her eyes correctly. But when she opened them again after a while, she found the enchanting face still staring back at her in the mirror.
"Ah————! Who's messing with me!" Kieran screamed and angrily picked up a toothbrush to smash the mirror.
The mirror cracked in half, and as Kieran looked at the face covered in 'cracks,' she suddenly felt like she had seen it somewhere before.
This time, she forced herself to calm down a bit and carefully looked at herself in the mirror.
About 1.5 meters tall, but with a chest size that didn't match her body, the horns on her head were not as large as those of a typical Succubus, making her look petite and delicate.
Light Pink long hair that faded in color towards the tips, with a deeper pink at the roots.
"This, isn't this the Succubus I killed yesterday!?"
The memories after returning to the hotel yesterday were very vague, and Kieran couldn't recall them for a while. The last impression was the catgirl jumping out of the window.
As for why she was lying on the ground naked, Kieran had no idea about that process.
"That damn demon must have cast some evil curse on me! I must find someone to break it."
Kieran belonged to the Temple Knights, mastering martial arts to the peak, but her knowledge of various spells and techniques was only partial, as it was the responsibility of the priests.
The Saint studied healing and support skills, the Temple Knights focused on martial arts, and the priests mastered spells. The roles were clearly defined among the three professions of Warrior, Healer, and Mage in the Holy See.
If it was indeed an evil curse from the demon, Kieran was certain she couldn't break it herself and would need to find a priest.
"No! If people find out that I've been cursed by the demon and turned into a Succubus, all my past glory will be ruined!"
It was not only Kieran's pride and honor at stake but also a great insult to the Holy Light. The First Holy Knight, losing to a demon's curse, would damage the reputation of the Holy See significantly. Therefore, Kieran decided she couldn't let anyone else know!
For the sake of her own reputation and the reputation of the Holy See, the strongest Holy Knight turning into a lowly Succubus was something that must not be revealed to the public.
"What should I do? What should I do? The High Priest is someone I know, I can ask for his help. But who knows if he'll keep this a secret? He might even use me as a case study."
Kieran tossed and turned in the bathroom, pulling at her hair in frustration. Her gaze fell on the shattered mirror pieces, then to her wrists. "To defend my honor, I must bury this secret! Even if it means sacrificing my life, I must leave behind an untainted reputation!"
Kieran wasn't afraid of death, she had been prepared to die since the day she swore to be an enemy of the demon. But she couldn't commit suicide here because this was the room of a Holy Knight. If someone found the body of a Succubus here, it would undoubtedly lead to unfavorable assumptions!

I just hope that this doesn't go the route that several Chinese genderswap stories do. Where the MC keeps switching back and forth while trying to hide the female form. I think the one that angers me the most doing this is "Reborn as a Transcendant" because "Princess" loves to constantly remind us that he hates changing because as a man he is the peak of masculinity and the manliest man to have ever manned before lol.
ReplyDeleteAs a "Holy Knight" the MC really hates "Succubus". But "she" is already a 100% succubus. She was completely driven by the instincts of her body.
DeleteOkay, I was worried our good "Sir Knight" would go to that priest he mentioned and have the "curse" removed temporarily and have to hide the other stuff. I guess from this he's going to stage it to look like he was physically attacked and either killed or taken away somewhere to save his "dignity" as a knight.
DeleteI think going back and forth isn't all bad, like in ATAPOW where it's involved in a lot of character development and plot progression
DeleteBut yes the 'Reborn as a Transcendant' is very annoying, especially when it takes over 1000 chapters to reach 100% girl
Wait seriously?! I took a little break from Transcendent leaving off around chapter 400. Is it really going to take another 600 chapters for her transformation rate to reach 100%?
