Chapter 143: The Wicked Villainess As the tusked beast fully emerged into the arena’s light, the players were met with the bared visage of a woman draped in dark-purple satin fabrics, which tightly wrapped around her in a curious design combining both the extravagance and flair of a gala-tailored gown with the sharpness of an equestrian suit. Her body was provocatively flaunted by the robe’s contours, drawing the viewer to her pale white skin, the fullness of her bosom, her slender arms and voluptuous curves; then, like foreplay, one’s gaze was led upward to the dainty black lace around her neck, before eventually arriving at her intoxicating face. Bright red lips, long elegant lashes, and black hair which flowed down like silk. She was, in every sense of the word, beautiful, radiating a mature charm that caused ladies to swoon and stern gents to drool. It was the kind of beauty often mentioned in legends as the cause of a nation’s fall, how the people flocked and pleaded to serve her, their minds bewitched by a lustful madness. And the most captivating feature of all was perhaps her eyes, her spiraling, crimson eyes of which sparkled like priceless rubies. Lucius found them to be most captivating, for in those eyes was a kindred impulse that he recognized: the glint of unconstrained desire. In all this grey and gothic land, there was none more influential, more perversely depraved, than her. >[GRAND QUEST]< Welcome, revolutionaries, to this haven of sinful delights and unfettered indulgence: the World of Otome. Once it was an orderly land, a place of set rules and rigid routine, but it has since been corrupted by the kingslaying harlot and your ultimate foe, the villainess: Nicolina Scarlet. No corner of this realm is free from her maddening influence. Even now, the innocent citizens degrade in moral conscience, and if left untreated then eventually all will succumb in a filthy mess to their primal instincts, no better than beasts. Kill the villainess. Restore decency and proper values to the populace. The time limit is three years. Reward: 50,000 Cosmic Coins, 50 Unattributed Status Points, a random S-rank Skill Book from the World of Otome, a random S-rank treasure from the World of Otome, and additional rewards based on contribution. Failure: Eternal slavery to the villainess, Nicolina Scarlet. The grand quest window appeared before the players just as it had during the World of Karolus, only this time the identity of their target was already revealed—and she was mere steps away, at that. This entire round could end immediately, right here, now… if only were it not for the shackles binding their wrists. It was maddening, how close they were to slicing her neck. The possibility of being spared whatever horrors and suffering no doubt awaited in the future was so very tantalizing, and also just out of reach, taunting them and delighting in their frustration. Oh, how cruel, how maliciously twisted! Lucius could only applaud the system’s scenario, for it was certainly quite the different undertaking compared to their previous adventures. A bit of contrast was most important when it came to keeping an audience entertained. While Lucius enjoyed his time in Francia, it would’ve been rather dull if he were subsequently taken to a similar locale. >[Virtual Goddess of the Wired recoils before the villainess’s appearance. There aren’t many who hold such beauty even among the Stars, and for it to belong to someone so blatantly vile is terrifying. The Goddess warns Lucius not to fall for her temptations]< >[Sinister Interdimensional Bureaucrat is very interested in conversing with the villainess. The Star has a feeling she’d get along with their employers quite well]< >[The Mistress of All Evil takes interest in Lucius’s channel. To think so many Stars of good and dark would spectate this single man’s server… how interesting. The Mistress is eager to watch the villainess enslave you all]< The Stars were already riled up, their starry ey
