SWNOVELXO chapter 246
Chapter 246. Handing a Succubus to a Priest!? This is Inverted Logic!
Though she had accepted her feelings, Clothilde didn’t intend to just fall completely into depravity. She simply wasn’t panicking anymore.
Originally, her fear of becoming a succubus stemmed not just from dread of the unknown transformation, but also from fear of the future itself.
Now she understood, she was actually afraid that after becoming a succubus, Noah would lose interest in her.
Even if she could imprison Noah by physical means…
But Noah was elusive, and she didn’t have the absolute confidence to keep tabs on him.
If she had absolute confidence, she probably wouldn’t be afraid.
But if Noah really was an evil god, then it shouldn’t matter if she became a succubus, right?
Since he’s an unacknowledged evil god, surely he’d accept a succubus who’s also unacknowledged?
Then that’s fine.
Now Clothilde had a backup plan of sorts.
Even if she couldn’t resist falling, at least Noah would still accept her.
–That being said, she wasn’t planning on falling so easily!
First, she hadn’t been able to prove whether Noah was actually an evil god.
Second, even if Noah *was* an evil god, she had her own faith.
She was a combat nun of the church, a devout believer of the Goddess.
How could a mere evil god so easily persuade her to change her faith?
If he seriously intended to snatch her away from the Goddess, he should at least make her experience more extreme pleasure!
He should at least say “I want you!” That kind of sentence that would make her happy… ah, no, would trouble her!
Simply put, the nun admitted that she wanted to be loved by that annoying black-haired youth, but that love wasn’t enough.
Though it made her, as a woman, feel desire, it wasn’t enough to make her follow him as a nun.
In other words, she acknowledged Noah as a man, but hadn’t yet acknowledged Noah as an evil god.
She admitted she liked Noah, but she wasn’t going to abandon her faith.
If Noah really needed her, then he should do more to make her change her faith.
Otherwise, she’d still believe that it was the Goddess who arranged for her to meet Noah.
As long as she hadn’t fallen into becoming a succubus, even if she gave up her nun identity, she would still express her gratitude to the Goddess while riding Noah.
This would just turn her into a normal woman who believed in the Goddess, ‘persuading’ her beloved evil god to turn to good, to earnestly become the Goddess’s priest instead.
But regardless, the nun finally acknowledged her desires and feelings, she wouldn’t deny anymore that she actually liked Noah.
This was definitely a good thing for her.
But for Hilda, this was just pure agony.
“Lies! I don’t believe it! How could that be possible! My Clotilde, without even realizing it, got tricked by some bad man! There’s no way I’ll accept that!”
Watching Clotilde’s happy smile, gradually returning to her serene self, Hilda felt like she was being cuckolded.
Her feelings for Clotilde after becoming an incubus were similar to those of the current nun Belinda.
Both wanted to bully Clotilde, to make her fall.
To enjoy the forbidden thrill of depravity together, to go to orgies, treating all men like prey.
The difference was that the incubus Hilda felt upset because someone else (Noah) had changed the person she cared about before she could.
While Belinda, still human, felt excited because she thought she could steal Clotilde away from Noah.
Simply put, Hilda saw herself as the wronged party, while Belinda saw herself as the homewrecker.
This also proved that before becoming an incubus, Hilda was indeed a very proper, honest nun.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fallen to this extent even after becoming an incubus.
“I wasn’t tricked, Sister Belinda, I just realized I actually like Mr. Noah, though his personality is very problematic.”
Finally noticing that her senior nun’s face looked bad, like she was about to bite her tail in frustration.
Clotilde quickly tried to comfort Hilda.
“That’s exactly what being tricked is!!!”
Unfortunately, this only backfired.
To like a bad man with serious personality issues, no matter how you looked at it, she had clearly been tricked!
Even though she had already fallen into becoming an incubus, Hilda still believed that Clotilde should join her in hunting men, enjoying depravity, instead of becoming a toy for an evil god.
Therefore, Hilda was still going to take action.
Except the reason changed from directly starting a lesbian relationship to kidnapping.
“N-No choice, plans have changed, Clotilde, you’ll just have to fall unconscious first, surely Lady Cornelia can make you forget about that man!”
The incubus Hilda, around LV68, assumed a serious battle stance, intending to defeat Clotilde with magic other than aphrodisiacs.
“No, there’s absolutely no way I would ever submit to that incubus, even if Mr. Noah repented and was willing to become a proper priest of the goddess!”
Having feelings for Hilda, didn’t mean having feelings for the incubus who stole her magic.
Of course, strictly speaking, she did have feelings, those were animosity, the negative emotions of wanting to eliminate her.
So, Clotilde put away the ‘Saint Lance of Destruction,’ whose right hand could only produce holy magic bullets.
Instead, she used her left hand to wield the exquisite magic tome, ‘Tome of Rebirth,’ slightly larger than a phone.
It was a battle that was entirely predictable.
Clotilde, having returned to her prime, was easily at LV80 or higher.
Hilda, originally just an ordinary nun with holy light magic, even after turning into an incubus, only had low to mid-level dark magic, and that’s without her go-to l*st magic.
As for holy light magic, it wasn’t completely unusable, but it would damage her current incubus self, and it wasn’t effective against Clotilde, the nun. That’s why she wasn’t using it.
Seeing the two start fighting, the onlookers finally realized one of them was *actually* an incubus, and they all scrambled away.
So, it didn’t really affect the bystanders much, and Hilda lost any possibility of using hostages to force Clotilde to surrender.
Not that Hilda had ever considered that possibility in the first place; Belinda would have definitely done it.
“Guh… h-how can she be so strong? It’s only been a little over two months, and she’s already recovered to this extent…”
Within five minutes, Clotilde’s grimoire’s basic elemental attacks had shredded her nun’s habit. It was tattered, full of holes.
Through the various rips and tears of the black nun’s habit, glimpses of white skin and seductive lingerie could be seen.
Hilda, already quite lewd, had become even more erotic as she entered a “heavily damaged” state.
She slumped to the ground, powerless. Even her heart-shaped black incubus tail hung limp, her gaze at Clotilde filled with distress.
It seemed she truly only had a fighting chance with l*st magic?
But her most powerful l*st magic had already failed. Should she just pretend to surrender, then take the opportunity to use purification magic on Clotilde’s abdomen?
“…Surrender, Sister Hilda. I won’t judge you as a fallen heretic. But letting you go is out of the question, so I’ll restrain you. Mr. Noah should have some ideas on what to do. After all, since he calls himself a priest, he should have *some* means.”
Clotilde, having defeated Hilda with barely any effort, lowered her grimoire. She calmly spoke words that made Hilda’s face twist.
Huh?! An incubus being restrained by a nun and handed over to a terrible priest?!
Isn’t that just a complete role reversal!?
The nun’s greatest crisis was easily resolved, and now it was the incubus Hilda’s turn to face her greatest life-or-death situation.
Truly, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west.

PS. It’s a three-chapter day again. This is the first.
If I do four, I need to adjust my sleep schedule.
(The plot does feel a little abrupt, having her fall directly like this, and it repeats the princess’s pattern. So this is just the beginning of a fall chapter. After all, even yanderes can’t all be the same, right?)
(So, my apologies to all you readers. It looks like the nun’s demon fall will continue for a little while. I’ll work hard on updates to speed things up!)
