The Paladin in the Abyss

Chapter 697: Chapter 721: Coin-Operated Self-Service Machine (For Fiends Use)

As Tijana’s last word was spoken, the gelled substance enveloping the demon refinement burst forth a blinding light. Within a few breaths, the light vanished, and in its place stood a crystal cube more than five feet tall. Through the translucent material, one could clearly see the High-Rank Demon’s folded body, with both head and buttocks exposed, conveniently positioned for use.

Around the demon’s head on the surface of the crystal were inscribed a circle of words in Abyssal, which were the very threats it had once made against the Succubus Lord; above there was a small crack, seemingly just the right size to fit a gold coin, also inscribed in Abyssal: “Two gold coins per use.” A similar setup surrounded its buttocks, the price being exactly what Tijana had initially demanded.

‘Tijana!’ Although the demon refinement couldn’t speak through vocal cords, it could still communicate with those around via telepathy, ‘Release me! At once! I command you!’

“That tone sounds much more normal; your sobbing pleas from before almost made me feel pity,” the Succubus Lord said casually as she approached the demon, tapping lightly on its head twice, immediately silencing the annoying voice from everyone’s consciousness, “I am quite merciful, you know. If you can earn twenty gold coins a day, you’ll gain your freedom in just five hundred short years…”

Having spoken, she pulled out two gold coins and slipped them into the crack on the surface of the crystal cube. Due to some magic, the demon’s mouth was forced open to its maximum, revealing bloodied gums lined with sharp, venomous teeth.
