Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Chapter 52

There are truly many secrets in this world.

And among those secrets, there are some that must absolutely never be revealed.

Today. I happened to encounter a secret that, of all secrets, should never have been revealed.

A succubus with two pairs of wings, an unprecedented sight.

She had long, bright pink hair and wore a swimsuit-like outfit that revealed parts of her body.

Possessing both mature charm and the allure of a naive girl... a true "bagel" beauty.

Clearly, the succubus race, classified as monsters, was present in the Seven Stars Tower.

At first, I thought the Sage had tamed a succubus and was using her as a guide and maid.

But that wasn’t the case.

The Seven Stars Tower was a residence for twin succubi and a High Succubus.

The Sage’s true identity was a High Succubus, an evolved form of succubus.

Learning the Seven Stars Tower and the Sage’s secret made me feel like I’d been hit over the head.

I even felt like humanity had been played by succubi all this time.

Numerous Rankers and important figures had requested help from the Sage.

The Sage, befitting the title, had given various pieces of advice, which had been of immense help and a breakthrough for them.

But she was a succubus, one of the monsters, an enemy of Hunters?

I couldn’t believe it.

She greeted me not in the Sage’s form, but in the sexy form of a High Succubus.

She willingly let me into the Seven Stars Tower and guided me to a room used for welcoming guests.

"Hehe...? Surprised? Sorry. But I really wanted to tell you the truth," she said.

The High Succubus, sitting across from me, continued speaking with a gentle expression like a kindergarten teacher.

"I know. You’re disappointed that the Sage, who has given various prophecies to humans, is a High Succubus, right? But I couldn’t reveal my true form to just anyone. The form I show to humans is that of an old grandfather. I should explain why I came here, shouldn’t I? I have precognition and the ability to see various aspects of the future, just as the name Sage implies."

She leaned back in her chair and gazed into the distance.

As if retracing her past.

"So, many succubi came looking for me. Especially succubi with power... they tried to monopolize me. With the ability to foresee and see the future, it would be much easier for them to stand at the pinnacle of power!"

I nodded, listening to her words.

"But being tossed around by power like that would eventually endanger me and the succubi around me... I had no choice but to choose to flee with my remaining family. My sisters. The only succubi left in our family, including me. All the other succubi are dead. We continued our desperate escape until we reached here! The human realm. It’s really nice here."

She had a somewhat empty expression and took a deep breath.

"My sisters and I established a base here. I received a prophecy that it would be safe here. And among the numerous futures, I saw a future where I would make a name for myself as a Sage here, and many humans would come looking for me... and in the distant future, a man with exceptionally potent semen would come. Last night, I received a prophecy that you would come today! Recommended by Layla. After that... well. I’ll know if it appears in a dream tonight or if I use my precognitive abilities, right?"

She looked at me with a pleased smile and smoothly swept back her long, bright pink hair.

"You are the most important person and man for the future of me and my sisters. Finally, today! I met you. When my sisters showed signs of being in heat as you came up the stairs, I was convinced. That it was you..."

She’s a succubus with a lot of stories.

But I didn’t believe her at all.

Whatever the case, whatever story she has, the woman in front of me is a succubus.

If this weren’t the situation, I would have already given my Summoned Beasts the order to attack.

As if reading my mind, she slowly nodded.

"Humans call us monsters, right? Yes. Creatures that only enjoy slaughter in the world called Dungeons. But not all of our race is like that. You don’t know the Demon Realm where succubi, incubi, and demons live, do you? That place where gloomy nights continue every day. That place where terrible things happen due to the logic of power. The number of demons who increasingly pursue only their bestial nature is growing. But it’s really nice here. The nature is good, the sun rising in the morning is good, and the night sky on a clear day is beautiful. There’s plenty to eat, and you don’t have to live like a demon."

I felt like she was beating around the bush and cleverly avoiding saying what she needed to say.

I was about to point that out.

"The reason I didn’t deceive you with the Sage’s appearance. It’s because I want to make a deal with you. Your sincere cooperation is most needed. So, I wanted to show you my true form at least. That way, you’ll have a little more faith. I’ll give you my precognition and the power to see various aspects of the future. And advice. In return, you give me something that no human has ever given me."

She got straight to the point.

"Don’t tell me..."

"You guessed it. Something that succubi absolutely need. Honestly, everything is great, but... I’m going crazy because I don’t have the special concentrated semen I want. But what can I do? I’m a succubus. The most rational succubus! Generally, succubi want to kidnap human men and turn them into semen milk servers, but... almost all of them do... but I didn’t. The children who serve me are the same. But now I’m reaching my limit... I’m really desperate. So, I want to make a deal with you where neither of us loses out."

She gave a shy smile, as if embarrassed.

It was a smile from a High Succubus that was more than just beautiful.

But I still can’t trust her.
