You decide to take the direct approach and unmask the imposter by force, here and now. You’re not sure who this woman is, but you suspect that she must be up to no good.

You draw the laser pistol that had been given to you by Olear, and fire two shots at the woman. The first shot misses her completely, but the second strikes her shoulder and she drops to the ground in a crumpled heap.

“Hero!” Eshami hisses at you, but your concerned expression makes her glance back at Koriya with caution. She steps back and draws her sword.

“You shouldn’t have done that,” Koriya growls as her figure contorts and grows in size. The room darkens and black, leathery wings sprout from her body and a red devil tail shoots out. She slowly stands up, an aura of red flame encircling where she stands.

A succubus!

“You definitely shouldn’t have done that!”
