King of succubus

“Kills us? Who are you talking about exactly?”

“?!” Hearing this voice of which she no longer knew if it was that of Ashia, Nicco, or Helene sounded in the vicinity, her mood switched to incredulous.

“Us?! What kind of demonic ritual did you just use?! Did-did you merge with them?” She murmured, looking at Helene’s back, which seemed to have a strangely threatening aura than hers.

Hearing Serena’s question, Helene arched her head and looked into Serena’s eyes with a mischievous smile.

Just seeing this smile on her lips, Serena could say that she was not Helene, or at least, not entirely her!

“Fufu~ I don’t exactly know what you just did, but I don’t care; as long as you entertain me enough, it will be more than enough!” By retorting these words, Serena bends her knees and jumps towards her new target at maximum speed!

-CLANG-BOMMM!!

Helene then blocked her sword with hers!

But when she did that, the impact between them not only created a gigantic crater under their feet, but even those who were thousands of kilometers away could feel the earthquake under their feet and the destructive aura that emanated from the two.

But the current Helene could only be pushed back by a few dozen steps after countering the attack of Serena, who had used almost all her strength!

‘Incredible! This girl is currently as powerful as the top fifty of the most powerful primordials! She managed to stop me without flinching even though I also used 70% of my strength!’ Serena stuttered for herself with sparkling eyes that shone with an exciting unfathomable!

After that, she looked straight into Helene’s eyes and discovered that the smallest and cutest girl in the small group now had a sadistic smile that distorted her cute face.

But the next moment, she noticed familiar neko ears and two demonic horns emerging above her head as her eyes turned golden red!

‘Huh?! And then what else?! Don’t tell me she hasn’t finished merging with the other two yet?!’ She whispered unconsciously, noticing Helene’s aura increase drastically!

[Spiritual flames: Hell demons’ exterminator!]

When she felt Helene whisper these words, she moved away from her urgently.

But even before she faced three steps back, translucent white flames that looked more like a manifestation of aura than flames attacked her!

​ But at the same time, her golden coin absorbed Helen’s attack!

Seeing this, Helene took a step and removed the distance between them and placed her two swords in a cross on Serena’s neck, and ruthlessly sliced her for decapitate!

“?!” Serena remained speechless when she noticed Helene’s bold decision to put an end to her!

But just before her two swords beheaded Serena, Helene urgently moved away from her, noticing her strange inaction!

“Haha! You have good instincts; it’s not to displease me!” She murmured with a mischievous smile, touching the two minor cuts that Helene had left instead.

But when she removed her hand from her neck, the two minor wounds on each side of her neck mysteriously disappeared.

Seeing this, Helene knew that it was not regeneration since she could feel the little wounds she had just inflicted on Serena, on her neck!

But it only lasted a moment before it regenerated instantly.

“Hehe~, interesting! I never thought that your concept could always influence me.” She murmured while sly giggling strangely.

Upon hearing her words, Serena was no better than her either.

“Haha~ even your creator will not be able to counter the powers of my concept fully. In short, I would like to know the identity of the person who gives me so much entertainment. Are you the demoness who has the red lizard’s bloodline? Or the hybrid that manipulates spiritual holy flames? Or maybe you’re still yourself?” She asked while caressing her chin.

“Hehe~, as I imagined, you are there weaker among the other primordials. You just have to guess it for yourself!” She retorted while showing two types of spirit flames in her two hands, one of which was black while the other was white.𝒐𝑽𝐞𝓵xt.𝑪𝒪𝕞

Seeing these two different spiritual flames, Serena frowned slightly.

“You know very well that such flames can’t hurt me, so why do you insist on it?” She asked when she saw that her opponent did not intend to answer her previous question.

“Ho~? If that’s the case, so, why did you run away cowardly when I tried to kick your ass with them?” She mockingly asked her.

“Urgh, I don’t know why, but the more I talk with you, the more you make me want to kill you! It becomes complicated to focus on my priorities in the long run.” She whispered these words while manifesting three other black pieces around her.

“Kill me? Sigh, you still don’t seem to realize something. But it doesn’t matter; if I repeat your words for words, then I’d say that I will also fill the emptiness that serves as your brain.”

“…” Serena.

“You say that my flames cannot threaten your existence? Sigh, this means that your ignorance is lower than magical beasts that have not yet reached the spiritual rank.” While retorting these words, another type of spiritual flame appeared above her.

(AN: spiritual flames= half-tier celestial flames. Independent flames are classified as mortal, spiritual, and celestial/heavens.)

Unlike the others, the flame that had just appeared was purple and exuded a strange aura that soaked the blood and had small flashes buzzing.

“… Spiritual flames that only attack the spiritual body? Tsk, Tsk, tsk! Seeing your arrogance, I thought you would show me something interesting. But just another type of half-celestial flames?!”

“Huh? Why are you always impatient? First, you attacked us before we finished our preparations, and now you make your early judgment even before I finished what I had to do?”

-Dark Frown!

“Good, good! Unlike you, my creator is not obsessed with her arrogance and superiority. She had done all kinds of research and made breathtaking new discoveries to fill her weaknesses. And one of her discoveries is the fusion of half-celestial flames to create a celestial flame that will not only be able to destroy a primordial, but also a monarch!” She continued even if she could feel Serena’s bloody aura.

But hearing Helene’s words, Serena momentarily held her breath because of her excessive surprise. But the next moment, she shook her head.

“Almost everyone had researched the celestial flames that are only existences belonging to the time of the goddess. Then the only solution to create another celestial flame would naturally be to merge half-celestial flames to create a heavenly flame in its own right. But the problem is that–

“The problem is that, unlike mortal flames that can merge harmoniously with each other to create half-heaven flames, half-celestial flames devour each other to dominate the power of the other; that’s what you mean?” She interrupted Serena’s words and explained in her place.

Even if the latter did not answer her, just by seeing the suspicions in her eyes, she could guess that Serena was beginning to be wary of her.

Then, with her mischievous and satisfying smile, she continued.

“Just like me, you know that there are only two people who have versatile concepts; one is my creatress, while the other is none other than Randolph, who had acquired other sub-concepts in one of the ancient cities of the goddess’s era. But even if he has several sub-concepts, he knows he will have no chance against my creator, who has the most fundamental and valuable concept.

-Look, I’m neither Helene, Nicco, or Ashia, but the three together. Do you believe that someone in this world, including monarchs, will be able to make such an achievement?

“…”

-But even though I stand in front of you, you still manage to tell me shit such as “it’s impossible to merge three different types of spiritual flames”? So, tell me, If it’s not idiocy, then what is it?”

Hearing her words, even if Serena’s rage was so intense that her teeth unconsciously cracked, her curiosity prevented her from attacking Helene, who seemed to be about to show her something even more challenging than anything she had witnessed before.

“… All right, so do your best to dazzle me more.” She spoke quietly after inspiring and exhaling several times to control her emotions.

-Smirk!

As her smile became more and more sadistic, three tiny fiery pearls (black, white, and purple) appeared in front of her.

‘The cores of the three spiritual flames? Seriously? She intends to merge these flames here and now?’ Serena murmured in her thoughts when she saw Helene’s intrepid and arrogant actions.

But she neither stopped her nor took advantage of this moment of recklessness on the part of her enemy to attack her.

At the same time, she looked at the whole process with particular attention as if it were not a weapon being forged to try to kill her with it afterward.

The next moment as soon as Helen approaches the three pearls to each other, which gives off a heat stronger than the heat residing in the depths of a volcano, a tension of hostility is created between them.

As Serena had predicted, the three pearls attacked each other to devour the other’s energy.

But seeing the carelessness in Helene’s eyes, Serena guessed that she was preparing something to counter this phenomenon that occurs with every attempt.

Then, with this conclusion in mind, she waited patiently without blinking.

‘It’s not that the spiritual flames are incompatible with each other, but it’s just that because their primitive instincts, which they acquire after their evolutions, push them to devour their fellows to increase their powers. And since they usually have the same power, this brief battle they fight each other consumes 80~90% of their powers. Therefore, regardless of the winner, its rank will not change.’ She says to herself while continuing to watch Helene do her experience.

But after three minutes, she bitterly sighed as if it were her own failure.

She could see that the three cores had already lost 50% of their power, which continued to worsen.

“I was stupid thinking that you had solved one of the mysteries of the universe.” She murmured heavily.

But the next moment, she heard Helene whisper a sentence that was familiar to her.

|Blood Concept: Blood fusion!|

‘Still the concept of blood? Is this key to solving this mystery? When you think about it, the concept of blood is, above all, a concept based on life. And as the celestial flames are practically alive with a spirit of their own, …maybe she has a chance in a hundred to accomplish this feat!’ She says, breathless because of her impatience.

After Helen whispered these words, she dropped a single drop of golden blood on the three pearls that had almost finished devouring each other!

But at that moment, the drop of blood turned into a small golden cocoon that imprisoned the three pearls.
