King of succubus

“… I meant by that the necessary energy you needed to cast three sealing spells. Who am I to restore the magical energy of a primordial mage?! I point out to you that I am an intermediate divine mage, not like some monsters.” He said as he got up on the ground.

“Not like some monsters? I guess even you make fun of others.” She replied to answer Alvine.

“… In short, is it enough or not?”

“No, even if it is more than enough to allow me to cast three sealing spells, I must always use my energy to not only remain conscious but also to heal my internal wounds during the healing process.”

“… It’s true.” nodded Alvine after hearing Linn’s explanation.

‘Anyway, I will have to find another solution to help him acquire more magical energy. I don’t want to waste these virgin souls to generate only raw energy; they will serve as advantages for me when I need to restore my dark energy.’ He then continued thinking while casually waving his hand in the void.

At the same time, the black chains he had broken with a simple snap of his fingers regenerated instantly and began their hunts for wandering souls not absorbed by the garnet sphere.

“But I have a faster way to help myself. But before that, we have to get out of here; I feel super uncomfortable. In addition, I cannot access my spiritual domain to take out the resources that will allow me to restore my primordial energy.” Le ton monotone de Linn résonna derrière lui, après qu’elle ait vu le destin pitoyable des âmes vierges dans la salle.

‘Sigh, to say that’s what he meant by saying he was the nightmare of his enemies. It turned out that he had a soul extraction skill with him.’𝓞𝑣𝑙xt.𝑐𝓞𝑚

“Hm? It seems that even you cannot remain indifferent to such a show. I understand you; unlike Sylvia and me, you are calmer for someone coming here for her first time.” Alvine whispered these words for himself with a thoughtful air.

‘It’s not this place that makes me uncomfortable, but it’s you the problem. I’m sure Sylvia was thinking about the same thing. But since you don’t seem to understand the feelings of others, I’m not surprised that you haven’t noticed this fact!’ She almost retorted these words aloud as she watched Alvine open a dark portal to the dual-cultivation room.

“But what do you mean you can’t access your spiritual domain? Are you talking about your treasure room?” Alvine asked after noticing this sentence that Linn had pronounced.

“Um, my treasure room is only part of my spiritual domain that is also accessible on the meteorite. But the place where I keep my personal cultivation resources is also part of my spiritual domain. Only, I can’t recognize the spatial energy of this place. It may be a planet out of our universe!”

“Sigh, don’t get too excited; it’s not because you can’t identify the energy of this place that it’s necessarily such a distant planet. There are probably other planets like this in the whole universe; it’s just that you haven’t discovered them yet.” Alvine answers nonchalantly, crossing the portal, followed by Linn rushing behind him.

But when the two appeared in the dual cultivation room, they noticed the room was as clean as before they had dirtied it.

“Hm? Is there a self-cleaning array in this room?” Linn asked while looking around her.

“No, there were visitors during our absence; surely the old Vandel who was looking for me for the exploration of the ruins. But if I stay here for a long time, they will think I was in danger because of the previous condition of the room.” Alvine explained in a quiet tone.

But at the same time, the door opened, followed by Asiaphir, who had come with new white sheets.

“M-milord? Are you all right?” She asked with complex eyes when she saw Alvine dressed only in a boxer and Linn, who had only her underwear.

“Hm? I’m fine.” He briefly answers while looking at Linn.

“Go get what you need while I talk to Assi.” He ordered Linn, who instantly teleported out of the room.

Once alone with Alvine,

“Do you intend to cure her of her curse? I know this because Miss Sylvia told me about it to reassure us of your sudden absence with this woman.” She asked, spreading the sheet on the bed.

“… Yes, she will be useful to us in exploring the ghost town.” Alvin nodded.

“Hmm, if you go so far for this exploration, so I can suppose that you have learned new information from her, am I wrong? I know you have reassured me several times, but can we really trust this woman?”

“Sigh, don’t worry; she has to stand by our side. In this world, nothing is stronger than an agreement where both parties have disproportionate gains. She wants to reach the legendary rank, and I want her by my side to expand my power. Dual cultivation with a primordial must bring more gains than with other low-ranking mages.” Alvine nonchalantly answers while leaning on the wall.

“Heee? It’s not as if it were the only primordial on this planet. But why, especially with her?” She asked while continuing her service.

“… It’s because I can’t be reckless with your case. I have to see results before doing it with you.”

“Hmm, so you say she’s more like a subject of experimentation than anything else?”

Unlike the others, Assiaphir is a succubus who sees nothing embarrassing about having sex, not to mention that the two were talking about dual cultivation. Hence their conversations without embarrassment.

“I wouldn’t go so far by treating her like this. In addition, I owe a lot to this woman, even if her intentions were not the most beautiful at first. Anyway, how much time has passed during my absence?”

“Not too long, just about 15 hours in a row. And as you had ordered Mr. Vandel to form an exploration team before dawn, seeing you miss the call, we searched the whole castle and the city; but I did not expect to find you in this room. I wonder how her highness the queen will react when she learns you brought another woman during your short stay.” She said, throwing a lively look at Alvine, who had a calm face.

“Fufu~, it’s interesting to see you so faithful to our dear queen; maybe I should talk to her after her return.” She continued by seeing Alvine’s impassive expression.

“Please do it. It’s not like she was still trying to stab me with a sword, like last time with Sabrina. But since you are one of my worst enemies, I know you will not mourn my death.” Alvine replied dryly.

“Ho?! I didn’t know it was that serious.”

“Of course she is! There are certain types of people to fear in this world, and one of them is this woman; believe it or not… She is! She’s really dangerous! No, very dangerous even! I would even say that she is super dangerous–

“It-It’s okay, I understood.” Assiaphir stopped him by guessing that Alvine would not finish these words because of the absence of the best terms he could use to describe the dangerousness of this woman.

‘How strange it is. No matter how much I look at this woman, she is just stronger than the other divine mages, but not enough to threaten my lord’s life. So why is he so serious about talking about her? Now that I think about it, is it because of the queen that Miss Sylvia lied, saying that milord was on a secret mission?’ She said to herself, trying to see with Alvine’s point of view.

But she couldn’t guess Alvine’s thoughts.

“Hmm, very good. You won’t be able to understand. But I pray wholeheartedly that one day, you will face a situation similar to mine. Knowing that you had a force that could crush someone but that you were powerless in front of him. That’s at this moment that you will understand the dangerousness and injustice of this world, my dear daughter.”

“…”

“In short, now that you’re here, you’re also going to contribute.” Faced with her silence, Alvine changed the subject by going straight to the goal.

“Hm? Well, if I can do something to help you, then so be it. But I must warn Sir Vandel to reassure others.”

Following this brief exchange between them, Linn appeared in the room with a new purple sun dress.

But Alvine raised his eyebrows, feeling pure and far greater energy than the one that emanated from her before she left the room.

“Hmm, I guess you’ve already solved your problem before coming here?” He then asked.

“Not quite. Even if I don’t like to admit it, your method is faster than mine with one of my core sealed. That’s why I stopped absorbing the energy of the divine stones and brought them back with me so that you could absorb them and transfer them directly into me.” While explaining her plan, she shakes her hand, revealing piles of divine spiritual stones in the room.

But they were not only Odin stones; Alvine also noticed dark stones that emitted heavy and astronomical energy, surely a hundred times more powerful than Odin stones.

“… Primordial spiritual stones, Huh?” He murmured curiously.

​ “Indeed, only absorbing the energy of the Odin stones will take a long time to restore my energy. That’s why I have to absorb the energy of these ten primordial stones in addition to the hundreds of the divine spiritual stones that are here.”

“Have you lost your mind? You know very well what happens to divine mages when they try to absorb the primordial energy. But despite everything, do you want milord to help you with that?!” Asiaphir’s angry tone resonates in the room when she hears Linn’s crazy proposal.

“Don’t worry about that; if it’s only primordial energy and not the other type of energy, then everything will be fine,” Alvine responds while avoiding wasting even more time.

“But they are still primordial spiritual stones! Your body would explode with chaotic primordial energy or energy overload.”

Alvine did not bother to explain more; he picked up one of the black stones heavier than he expected. Even if he knew about the existence of such incredible resources, it was his first time holding one in his hand.

‘This spiritual stone looks more like a small fragment of a meteorite. Even if its size is slightly smaller than a divine stone, it is more impressive than the latter in any other aspects.’ He said to himself with his eyes closed and absorbing, at the same time, the primordial energy contained in the black stone almost instantly.

‘Hm? As I expected. Just as with the divine energy that automatically turned into raw energy before I reached the divine rank after absorbing it, the primordial energy follows the same pattern. But it is always weaker than raw energy. In short, let’s not waste any more time.’ He decided after seeing that the experiment was a success.

Then, a black sphere appeared on his palm and instantly swallowed all the spiritual stones one by one as soon as its materialization!

“!”
