King of succubus

But despite such a loss following this confrontation that exceeded the skills of all intermediate divine mages and the significant loss of the spear’s powers, Alvine could not sigh of relief! Because there was always the second bubble of the spear that was now less than ten meters away from him!

From an external POV, the situation was delicate for Kimiko. Because although anyone could understand, at a glance, that Kimiko had a power superior to that of the primordial spear, it also had a weak point.

The weak point in question was none other than Alvine, whom it had to protect while facing the spear, which, in all likelihood, was endowed with more advanced intellect than those of spirits housing divine weapons!

The spear seized this opportunity that it had viciously prepared to kill Alvine with its lightning bubble instantly. With such a distance, even if Kimiko manages to intervene in time, it will not be able to protect Alvine from all the lightning, which is more powerful and more practical when it comes to an area attack!

And having Alvine within reach of its attack, it was like disadvantaged Kimiko itself! But Kimiko was also a primordial weapon with an increased intelligence that was not inferior to the spear; who was it to be fooled so easily?

If it were another primordial weapon, the spear might be able to reverse the situation with such advantages, but it was its bad luck to have Kimiko as an enemy! Because the latter is not only a weapon used to inflict significant damage while having a weak defense. Like a sword with a sharp blade, like a shield that could stop attacks, or as a blunt weapon with an unprecedented penetration force, Kimiko has been, from the beginning, a versatile weapon with all the powers and advantages of other types of weapons!

But this does not mean that it is a weapon that will make its owner invincible without consequence. By putting aside its insatiable stomach in the face of energy, there are also repercussions that it inflicts on anyone with a limited energy reserve. And speaking of this factor, even the primordials will not be enthusiastic about keeping it after having experienced these two disadvantages! The first function of a weapon is to offer intensive power to its owner while minimizing the necessary energy but also to spare its owner the backlashes. In other words, magic weapons are like a circuit (mana veins) with high intensity and low voltage (mana energy).

With this definition, Kimiko may be considered a failure as a weapon.

But when the lightning bubble of the spear was ten meters from Alvine, it instantly teleported behind him!

[Spatial shield!]

The same shield the Alvine clone had used against Brave and Serena but more powerful and invisible!

When the lightning bubble made this spatial jump, it found itself in front of Kimiko’s second sphere that had not moved from its location; in other words, the small lightning bubble the size of an adult fist found itself in front of the giant sword!

-SHAAA!

The latter sent a black bolt discharge and burst the bubble using the second sphere.

Now that there were no more embarrassments, Kimiko began its offensive!

It released the two spheres of lightning that swirled around Alvine and pulled itself towards the spear five hundred meters from it. The next moment, Alvine saw Kimiko in front of the lightning spear; even if it was next to him, there was not even a thousandth of a second!

‘Kimiko is a more powerful weapon than I expected!’ He said with a frown. The more he saw Kimiko’s power, the more guilty he felt for keeping such a weapon with him.

-Slash!!!

The lightning spear did not have time to avoid Kimiko’s deadly attack before being cut into two separate parts, leaving a large crater on the ground.

‘If only I could use Kimiko properly, Sigh.’ He continued in his thoughts with bitterness.

Then, the spear fragments simultaneously booed toward him to merge with him to increase his power, constitution, and energy.

‘Haha, the part I prefer the most. It’s time to collect my gains! I wonder how much I would improve after absorbing such a quantity of primordial energies, moreover, an energy of tribulation!’ He gulped impatiently while spreading his arms to welcome the flow of energy with his eyes closed and a sinister smile on his lips.

But after three seconds, he did not feel the slightest feeling of absorption or increased powers.𝑂𝑣𝑙xt.𝑐𝚘𝓂

Realizing this abnormality, he opened his eyes to see what had gone wrong.

“?!! Ahhh! This bugger ring! I will get rid of it this time and for good!” He thundered in rage when he saw the ring directed all the energy debris towards his right annular, which was like its house, and actively absorbed all the gains that had to return to Alvine!

*Master because of your…

“Sigh, this ring is more of a problem than an advantage. This ring indeed created a spiritual bond with me, but it almost killed me indirectly by absorbing my orb. In addition to its greed, it does what it wants without considering the consequences of its actions!” He interrupts Kimiko, who wants to justify the acts of the ring.

But unfortunately for him, he did not have time to act against the blood ring. His attention was captured by the sudden change that occurred above him after the defeat of the spear.

After the advent of the fifty-meter dark spear that was miserably beaten flat, the sky turned white, and all the dark clouds evaporated into nothingness, giving way to an ordinary sky.

“Hm? There won’t be a third salvo?” He murmured, looking above him with dismay.

*Master, I have reached my limits.* Kimiko turned into a ball of light that instantly entered his body with the two other lightning spheres.

‘You deserve this rest. Now I need to find a way to survive in the face of the last salvo.’ He murmured while watching the strange reactions of the sky.

But at that moment, he noticed something abnormal.

‘I no longer feel the pressure of the air on my skin. Even if I can see Linn five hundred meters from me, I can’t feel her presence with my perception! And this feeling of imminent danger continues agitating my senses; sigh, it’s not over. The wheels of the third salvo finally started to turn!’

-!

At the same time as he came to this conclusion, he noticed a substantial silvery white dome forming above him that imprisoned him and prevented anyone from joining him in the dome.

[Kekekh! I was sure their arrogance would never allow them to leave him alive!] The shadow murmured these words.

“They? Who are you talking about?!”

[You’ll know soon, just be a little patient.]

“Tsk!” -Linn.

But contrary to what she imagined, the mystery did not last long before the famous third phase of tribulations began following the appearance of a black crystal that had just crossed a dimensional portal of a milky white.

-Crack

‘A sealing crystal?’ Alvine frowned when he saw the crystal crack to free the thing it had imprisoned so far.

“…”

-Crack! Crack!! -BOOM!!!

Following the crystal explosion, a humanoid creature resembling a demon appeared above Alvine, eyes closed.

[Kekekh!! Finally free from this damn prison!]

Alvine remained speechless, looking at the humanoid silhouette with black lightning coming out of its body instead of a flood of aura!

‘Sigh, do these tribulations really make sense at the moment? I now understand why this dome is there. It is not to prevent me from retreating but to prevent this mana creature from escaping after he killed me. These people have endless resentment against me. However, I don’t remember offending such people. So why are they so obsessed with wanting to kill me? Is it a sin that an emperor mage faces tribulations with a 100% pure divine aura? Or is it because of my insults? Or maybe because of my intervention to save My contracted beast (Yuer), who had almost died against heavenly punishment?’ He began to think seriously to discover the reasons why administrators took such measures against him.

The creature in front of him was one that the most powerful ancient beasts could not easily defeat, so to say that he, who had just reached the divine rank…

It was not something that deserved to be addressed.

“Why?!” Five hundred meters away from him, Linn thundered in rage when she saw Alvine’s opponent.

[Kukuk, Why, do you ask? Why are they ready to go so far against a simple divine mage who wanted to face his tribulations to reach the divine rank gently? Kukuk, we must believe that ignorance is also a form of freedom. Believe it or not, this universe would be a hundred times better without this calamity! Even if you find that unfair, this world has never been and will never be a place where justice reigns. Power is the only absolute law that is above all others.]

“No matter the reason that motivates them, the laws established by the goddess must never be crossed. But I doubt that someone like you can understand what I mean by that since your presence here is also a violation of one of these laws. But despite everything, I can’t believe there can be one of these living ink creatures.” Linn replied, frowning.

The reason why these creatures are fundamental enemies is that they lose their reasoning after the turning of their mana. In exchange for their common sense, they gain more destructive powers that are not negligible, even for the primordials. But the worst thing is that mana creatures only think about destruction and slaughtering. But among these creatures, few know how to use primordial powers; these beasts are called primordial beasts.

Unlike other beasts that do not leave their territories, mana creatures have no territory since they have no ally or attachment.

While Linn was in her thoughts, she noticed that the monster in the dome with Alvine finally noticed the latter, who was a hundred meters away from him.

[Kekeke! It seems that I have weak prey with me. Sigh; even if it’s disappointing, I hope he will give me some divertissement.]

It retorted, greedily staring at Alvine while moistening its lips like a hungry beast preparing to go to the table.

‘What has he been saying since just now? He speaks like Greed with this mysterious language. Sigh, I guess I couldn’t be more unlucky than meeting a primordial beast. Even if I withdraw into the shadow dimension, it’s like delaying the inevitable. In short, since fleeing will be of no use to me, all I have to do is survive, as I have done so far.’ Alvine stammered while keeping his guard.

-BANG!

But the next moment, Alvine felt his stomach turn upside down after the predator gave him a gunshot in his stomach, slamming him against the dome that electrocuted him fiercely before he fell to the ground at a hundred meters to it!

-KEUKH!!

‘Ahhh shit! When will this hell end?!’ He thundered in his thoughts while lying in his pool of blood with skeptical eyes and indescribable pain.

Not to mention the reaction time, Alvine could not even see the movements of the mysterious creature who had just broken more than half of his bones in a single attack!
