King of succubus

“I don’t have time to waste, so tell me everything you know and show me everything you don’t want to say.” He simultaneously ordered before the old man went to the end of his intentions.

“…!?”

At the same time, Alice had incredulous eyes as she looked at the deputy director, kneeling suddenly before Alvine that he had just met him.

“My lord, the director of our branch is currently attending a meeting with the other leaders to organize the great auction that will take place every three years.”

“Ho?! An auction, do you say?”

“Yes, if it may interest the lord, I would help you with all the help I can provide for–

“No, you don’t need to sacrifice yourself or spend your money on me.” He murmured, focusing on Alice.

“Can you attend this auction with your current status?” He then asked.

“… Of…course, I can. But I’m not influential enough to help you attend.” She instantly responds while stammering, without taking her eyes off the deputy director.

‘How could this arrogant old man suddenly become a puppy!? Damn, just when I think I understood the mysterious powers of this man, he shows new skills as if he were the source of the creation of skills.

-In addition to having creative skills and telekinesis that allows him to fly, he can even control the mind of a person as powerful and arrogant as this man and reduce him to a state of slavery. The worst thing is that I have the impression that he has not even shown everything he can do yet. Urgh! They are dangerous!’ She screamed in her thoughts with horrified eyes as she looked at the dark eyes of the deputy director.

“What means are available for us to attend this auction legally?” He asked, accentuating his last word.

“Ugh, what do you mean by…legally?”

“Pff~, do I need to give you explanations? Unless you’re an idiot.” He retorted in a sarcastic tone.

“… There are two ways.” She no longer wasted time as a result of Alvine’s hidden threats.

‘Would I have a chance to stop them? If I use my skills to the Maximum, I could surely take care of one of them. But the problem is this woman; she hasn’t shown anything so far. But just thinking of hurting her, I felt like I was dying the next moment; are they really the people the oracle had mentioned in her predictions?!’

Like a deer who can’t help but quench its thirst in a swamp despite the presence of predators, Alice was also unable to stop thinking about her plans despite the fact that she was confident that, for one reason or another, Alvine could read her thoughts.

Thinking is a routine that humans use daily as long as they are conscious and mentally healthy.

That is what made Alvine, or people like him, able to see through people’s hearts, the worst of people, even among the most boring.

‘If I continue to ignore her intentions, she will risk digging her own grave.’ Alvine murmured, following the inspectress’s suicidal thoughts.

“I’m listening to you.” He asked for explanations after a brief silence on his part.

“… There are only two ways available for you, strangers and without influences, to attend this auction. The first is to have at least a billion dollars in your assets. And the second is to assist as a supplier; by that, I mean that you must at least have magic relics to sell.” She explained herself without further delay.

But ironically, Alvine also noticed that she was channeling much of her energy into her right hand, probably preparing for a surprise attack.

“Sigh, it’s a bad idea.”

“!? –Excuse me?” Her hand slightly trembled as she asked in a strange voice, following Alvine’s sudden assertions.

“I’m talking about your intentions. You are weak, no matter what you do, no matter how you intend to proceed, and no matter if your attack succeeds or not, in the end, you will only cause your death.” He affirmed by slamming his fingers, followed by the appearance of a black flame emitting a temperature resonating to the depth of Alice’s soul.

‘Hm!? Does this girl have any ties to my Gehenna flames?’ With eyes carried by a wave of surprise, Alvine could not help but whisper these words to himself when he noticed something strange that he did not expect.

“It’s…it’s… I wasn’t trying to…attack you.” She exclaimed.

Seeing her lie to her, Alvine was not sure that she would not start again with her actions.

‘I could control her like this old man, but it will be embarrassing for my future projects for her. Sigh, I would have to shake her up a little bit so that she never repeats what she was going to do at that moment. But more than anything, I have to confirm my suspicions.’

Following this conclusion, he waved his hand in the air, followed by the appearance of a ball of water beside his black fire sphere.

But just before Alice woke up in shock, he continued to manifest other attributes, such as lifting the earth under Alice’s foot, giving her a gust of wind in the face, just violent enough to make her stagger five steps back, etc.

“??!!”

“Do you now understand what I’m talking about? Your flames are not even worthy of warming the temperature of my body.” He replied coldly.

“…Hahaha… It’s ridiculous!” She yelled these words with a crazy smile, finally noticing what Alvine was saying, talking about her suicidal actions.

“I have been quite patient and lenient with you, not out of the kindness of heart, but because you are still useful to me. It would be a waste of time to find other pawns that would fulfill your role perfectly. Then I would need your obedience; if I tell you to go to the left, only death will wait for you at the end of the right path, do you understand, Inspectress Alice?”

To complete everything, he applied a gravitational power, forcing her to get on her lap.

-KEURHK!

She clenches her teeth with the impression of having a ton on her shoulders, even though she is on the floor.

But almost instantly, Alvine stopped his actions, hearing her bones fracture.

‘… Sigh, I think I’ve done a little too much; but it’s more than enough for her to be obedient. It’s the best way to dominate her; if I use enslavement pacts on her, I would be forced to bring her with me, a chance she doesn’t deserve, not now.’ He whispered, rolling a healing potion toward her.

“Drink this, and tell me if it’s enough to participate in this auction.” He ordered without blinking.

“… Um.” Despite her unimaginable pain, she hardly nodded while catching the small bottle in a deep blue mixture.

-Plop,

-Gulp, gulp, gulp…

“!!!”

Just after ingesting three sips, she could feel the almost instantaneous effects and the next miracle.

A miracle? A mixture of the demon?

She could not grasp the facts hidden behind this anomaly.

“According to your expression, I can therefore assume that this low-ranking care potion is enough to allow us to participate in this auction. Am I wrong?”𝗈𝑣𝐋xt.𝒸𝚘𝑚

“… A low-ranking potion?” She asked in a sober and unemotional voice as if she had lost something irreplaceable in her soul.

“Just answer my question. Is that enough?”

“Yes, but there is also the entrance fee, which amounts to five hundred miles. But don’t worry; I could take care of it for you–

“No need, I would not use your goods. Even if I don’t look like it, I’m still a little rich.” He shakes his head towards Alice while holding out his palm, followed by the appearance of a purse filled with gold coins.

“I don’t have a bank note, but I still have some gold coins that can do the trick. This space bag contains at least ten million gold coins, use them for our needs during our trip; I will give you other instructions later.” He explained by throwing the little black purse toward Alice.

But catching the purse, she frowns, not understanding where Alvine wanted to go by saying that the small bag, strangely light as if it were empty, contains at least dozens of gold coins.

But this feeling of confusion, that she wanted to ask for more information but no longer dared, lasted only a period before she looked inside.

‘Hm? I don’t see the bottom. Is this thing…

While stopping in her thoughts, she overturned the continuity of the contents of the small bag.

-Crcrcr…crcrcr!!

‘What?! How can such a small purse contain such much gold coin?! And what is the definition of wealth for him to dare to say that he is a little rich!?’ Suddenly, her mind had another short circuit when she saw heaps of gold coins she had never seen before.

“It was unnecessary to make so much noise; you could simply have checked its content thanks to your spiritual energy.” Briefly pronounced Alvine by pulling in the gold coins toward the space bag with his gravitational powers.

“…” As for her, seeing the hundreds of thousands of gold coins scattered in the four corners of the living room, floating towards the small bag in her hand, she remained silent, no longer surprised by the mysterious and similarly infinite powers of Alvine.

She was entirely immersed in an ocean of apprehension, which imposed fear, but yet, of endless admiration and envy.

It was a feeling that was both unknown and despicable to her.

‘I can’t believe that such existences can exist in our world. I feel stupid to have tried something so suicidal.’ Remembering her actions and Alvine’s actions, without forgetting the disdainful look she had seen through the surveillance cameras when the security guard shot Alvine, her heart became more melancholic.

“What else?” But Alvine, for his part, did not care about her emotions; he looked at her straight into her sky-blue pupils while he asked her this question with frightening indifference.

“No… No, but the auction is scheduled in three hours, and we are currently too far to arrive on time. Unless we fly twice as fast and faster than–

“It doesn’t matter; the problem is, will you be able to resist spatial distortions? We will know in a short time.” Alvine murmured, guessing Inspectress Alice’s following words.

“A spatial distortion?” She slightly frowned when she heard Alvine ask her an umpteenth question that she could not understand.

But unlike the previous times, she analyzed this issue with more interest and particularity that was until then absent in her eyes.

“Hmm, it doesn’t matter; I think you’ll get used to it after a few experiments. It is not only because you are useful to me that I spared you but because of another factor.” While pronouncing these words with a slight smile, a threatening black pentagram appeared in front of him, shaking the walls of the living room, giving Alice the impression that the building would collapse the second after.

But before she confirmed this suspicion, she noticed a flood of dark and threatening energy rising in Alvine’s body; an aura more sinister than anything she had ever thought possible, a demonic presence that confirmed her suspicions at that moment, an atmosphere that gave her the impression of seeing death itself in front of her.

‘If demons exist, he would necessarily be one of them!’

And the next moment, while unprecedented events both dark and deserved to be categorized as threats capable of leading to their planet having a potential pure and straightforward destruction, the void broke like an invisible mirror, followed by the appearance of a black hole in the form of portals that swirl at an incalculable speed for her mind and limited knowledge about the hidden truths of the world.

“What is–

“It’s time to go and attend this famous auction.” Just before Alice finished her sentence, Alvine interrupted her while her eyes were only focused on the dark portal that looked more like the entrance to the cellar of a divine beast.

‘This auction could perhaps help me find the key rather than planned.’ Looking at the portal with bland eyes, Alvine whispered these words to himself while nodding his head toward Reha.

The latter did not look to know more; she was the first through the portal, followed by Alvine.

“Please wait,” Alice whispered these words to him in a fly voice just as he followed Reha.

“…What do you expect from me? So far, you have kept telling me I will be useful to you, but is that the case?”

“Ah, that? You are not yet aware of your potential; I was unaware of your potential until that moment. A coincidence? I doubt it. But what is certain is the nature of your flame energy that bit resembles those of one of my subordinates. These are only hypotheses, but we will soon have confirmation. And if it turns out that I was not mistaken, you will be a subordinate…hmm, a little more interesting than according to my doubts.” His devilish smile emerged on his lips as he gave this answer to Alice.
