Creating A Succubus Army In A Fantasy World!-Chapter 144: Now There Were Two!

Lilith hurriedly placed Creed at the farthest corner of the chamber, where the effects of the battle were least going to affect him.

The coming battle was going to be very intense, and she couldn’t do such with a 6’ tall guy strapped to her back.

So despite the fact that it was also quite risky to place him down like this, there was no other choice.

Once he was properly positioned, she gave a small nod to Tierra who had watched her back and clenched her scythe for battle.

It was time to fight!

The moment the girls moved, the worm let out a bone-rattling screech and shot toward them like a silver bullet.

There was no wind-up. No warning. Just a silvery blur erupting forward like a fired cannonball!

Bang!

The floor practically shattered beneath its launch, sending tiny pebbles and stone flakes scattering through the air.

But Lilith was faster.

With a grin curving on her lips, her boots sparked as she disappeared in a flash of purple lightning.

A thunderous boom echoed behind her as she zig-zagged across the chamber like a living thunderbolt, leaving afterimages in the air.

In mid-motion, she swung her scythe and released a slash of raw lightning energy that tore through the air like a razor made of storms.

Boom!

The purple blade smashed directly into the worm’s incoming head.

And then fizzled out. Completely.

"Uh... excuse me?" Lilith blinked as the bolt vanished like smoke against the worm’s glowing silver armor. "That was supposed to hurt!"

The worm didn’t care. Its head, the size of a dinner table, rammed into the space where Lilith had just been a second earlier, smashing the ground so hard a crater bloomed under it like a flower of destruction.

While the worm was still recovering from its colossal headbutt, Tierra made her move.

Her form shimmered, slipping into and out of space like a ripple of wind that couldn’t be caught.

One moment she was behind Lilith. The next, she was directly above the worm’s massive back, daggers twirling in her hands like silver windmills.

But these weren’t just regular attacks. With a flick of her fingers, the air around the weapons shimmered, warping reality like a heatwave on desert sand.

The space around the worm twisted unnaturally—each dagger strike slicing the very fabric of the world.

Even if her blades didn’t pierce flesh, they were carving space itself, sharper than the sharpest swords forged by techniques at her level.

It was absolutely deadly!

Tierra struck once, twice, thrice. All in a perfect X-pattern along the worm’s back.

But again... nothing.

Well, not nothing. Sparks flew. A thin mist of silvery steam hissed from the worm’s scales. But that was it. No cuts. No screams. No blood!

Tierra’s beautiful eyes narrowed at this shocking sight, but she recovered quickly, flipping backward into a graceful landing as the worm twisted its neck to bite at her.

Before the girls could regroup, the worm opened its maw.

But instead of a scream or roar, a weird, gurgling noise echoed from its throat, like it was coughing up something disgusting.

"Uh-oh," Lilith said. "He’s gonna puke!"

A split-second later, the worm launched a high-pressure stream of glowing silver fluid—thick like syrup but fast like a jet.

It sprayed across the chamber in a straight line... then solidified mid-air into razor-sharp spikes!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Tierra dove sideways with a swift grace as one of the spikes embedded itself into the stone where she’d just been standing.

Lilith flipped backward, the electricity around her flaring instinctively to repel one of the bigger shards trying to impale her.

The girls skidded to opposite sides of the chamber, breathing heavily.

"Okay, that was rude," Lilith said.

"Rude and efficient," Tierra replied, glancing at the jagged spike sticking out of the floor. "If one of those hit us, we’d be skewered like azure sky steak!"

Lilith wasn’t about to let the worm get the upper hand. With a deep scowl and a twirl of her scythe, she channeled her lightning again.

Buzz!

This time, instead of one big strike, she began generating multiple smaller bolts. They swirled around her body like storm spirits, crackling and snapping with pure energy.

At the same time, Tierra snapped her fingers, opening a dozen tiny portals mid-air.

Each one hovered at a different height and angle, arranged like floating trapdoors leading into a chaotic battlefield.

Together, they attacked!

Boom! Buzz!

Lilith launched bolts into the portals. As the lightning passed through each spatial gate, it was redirected from a new angle; up, down, left, diagonal, side-swiping.

From the worm’s perspective, it was suddenly being zapped from everywhere, making it very hard to redirect!

Purple bolts came from above, under its belly, behind its eyes, even inside its coils! It was too painful!

Roar!

The worm roared and began spinning rapidly—creating a literal storm of metal skin that deflected the lightning like a tornado made of mirrors.

The air trembled from the sheer force of its rotation. The bolts bounced harmlessly off its hide, and some were even flung back through the portals.

"Alright, okay, it’s got a spin move," Lilith groaned, ducking as her own lightning ricocheted past her ear. "Noted."

The worm slammed its body into the ground and launched itself again—this time rolling across the chamber like a giant silver wheel.

It crashed into the far wall, flipped upside down mid-air, and slammed into the ceiling before falling back to the ground with the grace of a sledgehammer.

Rumble!

Chunks of stone rained down. Cracks spread across the chamber like spiderwebs. Lilith and Tierra both leapt to avoid the falling debris while also ensuring that Creed was not hit by any falling debris.

Then they rapidly changed their positions to attract the worms attention once again.

Lilith somersaulted mid-air, firing off a bolt of lightning behind her to slow the worm’s advance, but it only caused the beast to blink in irritation.

Meanwhile, Tierra teleported in tiny short bursts—vanishing and reappearing at different points in the room to keep the worm guessing.

"Any bright ideas?!" Lilith shouted as she landed next to Tierra, panting slightly.

Tierra squinted at the worm, eyes glowing faintly. "It’s absorbing our elemental pressure and redirecting kinetic energy. We need to overload its internal balance—make it miscalculate its own power."

"...You mean punch it in the brain really hard?"

Tierra smirked. "Basically."

Suddenly, the chamber shuddered.

Not from an attack, but from a rhythm.

Thud... Thud...

Tierra’s eyes flicked sideways, sharp and calculating. "Two thuds."

Lilith, in mid-sprint, ducked under a swing of the worm’s massive tail, flipping with style as sparks danced around her.

"We’re in the middle of a fight and you’re listening to beats now?"

"No, idiot—remember the system! The thuds means the layout’s changing!" Tierra replied, her voice sharp like a general issuing orders.

And she was right.

A low hum rolled through the stone, deep and ancient, and suddenly glowing lines lit up across the walls of the chamber, forming a 3D grid that twisted, turned, and flickered like a ghostly puzzle cube.

New paths were being formed—like the maze itself was reshaping reality.

"Lilith!" Tierra shouted as she skated across a newly appeared platform made of the cavern walls, "Force it onto the pathway—NOW!"

She wanted to make use of the underground system to take it down!

Lilith grinned, instantly catching on. With a roar, her body exploded into a concentrated arc of lightning.

She slammed into the worm’s side, using her scythe like a battering ram. The electric impact forced the worm to rear sideways—straight onto one of the glowing pathways at the side of the chamber.

The huge worm smashed heavily into the pathway, burying half its body deep inside it.

And in that moment, the entire wall around the worm collapsed inwards!

Boom!

The worm was sliced into two!

Like cutting tofu with a hot knife, the insanely hard and reflective skin the worm was so proud off was easily torn into pieces.

Silver blood and black goo sprayed like a fountain as the worm let out a hideous shriek. But before they could celebrate...

Whoosh!

A second, identical worm launched out of another hidden tunnel, catching both girls off guard.

"Oh COME ON!" Lilith screamed as they both dove to the side.

Now there were two!
