King of succubus

"In short, if not, what do you decide? Do you prefer to start with the box or link to the cape?"

"...I think I want to see what this box contains above all. I don't like mysteries." Alvine gave this answer after a brief reflection.

"Hihi~, I understand you; it's a real torture to waddle with such a thing without knowing what it contains. According to the name and the material that makes up this box, I am already sure it contains a primordial pill!"

Seeing her excitement, Alvine thinks twice in a row about his decision. He’d not be surprised to see Linnaella tear off the box's contents if something invaluable ever sprang inside.

Noticing Alvine's silence, Linn sighed with frustration. "What is this look you're looking at me? You still don't think I'm going to try to take what belongs to you by force, do you?"

"It's likely."

"Tsk, do you think I'm so shameless?!"

"...Nothing guarantees me that you will remain indifferent if something new comes out inside. After all, you kidnapped me without my consent, didn't you?" Alvine replied dryly.

"...In short, as long as it is not a healing potion of primary rank, I would never be interested. I am proud to say that I am the richest among the Punishers. Then you won't have anything to fear." She said, cleverly avoiding Alvine's question while her cheeks reddened with embarrassment.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"Yes, I am convinced that I can trust someone who is already threatening to sting me an elixir anyway," Alvine replied again by listing the most important.

"Tsk, I'm not going to steal it from you! I would give you an exchange equivalent to it; I desperately need to regain my strength after all. And stop talking as if you already know what's inside."

"...Sigh, you are right; Forget my words as far as this box contains nothing could not capt your greed side." Alvine finally gave up trying to coax her. In any case, this elixir will not serve him much. Without even forcing his hand, he would be willing to exchange it for something worthwhile among Linn's objects. Of course, it's just when such a legendary elixir comes out in the box.

'Honestly, I don't have much expectation. Even if it is a box that Rayja can only make, its content cannot be so interesting since it was one of the Punishers who gave this as a gift to the first vampire king. It is unlikely that the first king even consumed the box's contents. But I'll know soon.' He said to himself, dropping a droplet of blood on the box, as Linn had explained.

"Hm? Nothing is happening?"

"No, be patient a little. Given the small amount of blood, it will take a little time." Linn immediately explained it following his fears.

As she had said, after about ten seconds, the box suddenly began to shine with a crimson glow after absorbing the blood.

-Click!

"!!" Following this slight mechanical sound, Alvine slowly opened the box.

But the second after, an ironic smile appeared on his lips.

"What are the chances that this will happen? I have the impression that the god of destiny is playing with me." He said, taking the small object inside the box.

"What is it?? It's not an elixir. Sigh, It seems that it is one of the objects in Rayja's collections." Linn immediately became disinterested in the little transparent white jewel in Alvine's hand.

At a glance, she and Alvine knew it was an artifact. But the problem was what kind of artifact it was.

On Alvine's side, he already had a clear idea of what it could be. It was too obvious for him since the rusty ring on his finger kept tightening on his right ring finger!

'Seriously? I'm sure and certain that all this can't be a coincidence.' He said to Himself with a frown.

"Miss Linnaella, I changed my mind." He said without leaving his eyes on the jewel as white and crystallized as a diamond.

"Change your mind?"

"Yes, I don't want this cape finally, but I want the jewel I saw in your storage room instead!" He continued as if the jewel hypnotized him.

"..." Linn remained silent as her eyes switched between Alvine and the jewel in his hands.

But suddenly, she silently nodded as if she had understood something too. "Very good. But if you decide to take back this jewel, you will no longer have the opportunity to exchange it once again if you are ever mistaken."

"Don't worry. My decision is final." Alvine instantly responds as if nothing matters to him anymore.

Hearing this statement probably from him, Linn no longer insisted. She took the scarlet cape before disappearing in front of Alvine, leaving him alone again.

"...Well, it doesn't matter who is behind it, no matter his intentions; I'm just going to tell myself that it's a coincidence." He said while trying to remove the ring on his right annular.

But at that moment, another surprise left him speechless. The ring was stuck on his finger. No matter what force it applied, the ring did not move an inch! But it was not the most surprising for him. The most surprising thing was that after Linn left, leaving Alvine alone in the living room, it was as if the ring was waiting for this opportunity! A powerful force of attraction suddenly triggered between the jewel and the ring on Alvine's other finger.

Noticing the strange actions of the ring, even if he would die of desire to know what the ring was hiding from him as a mystery, he did not risk giving a ring what he wanted. Thus, he moved his two hands away from each other to prevent the two pieces from assembling!

"Ahah~?! That, never! You'll have to wait until the other jewel comes back!" He replied, alone in the living room.

Thus, a strange battle broke out between Alvine and the ring that absolutely wanted to come together with the jewel!

Their battle continued until Linnaella's return.

"Can I know what you're doing?" Linn asked immediately after her return, seeing Alvine's two trembling hands spread away.

But from the moment Linn appeared in front of Alvine, even before Alvine warned Linn to stand away from him with the other black jet jewel, the latter crushed the translucent cubic box in Linnaella's hand and whistled at full speed towards Alvine's finger!

With the appearance of the black jewel, Alvine no longer had the strength to prevent the other jewel!

-Wooosshh!!

The white jewel pierced Alvine's palm, and the two sank directly into their respective locations!

"!!" At the same time, seeing the hostility of the ring towards him, Alvine instantly created a scarlet blade using the blood that dripped from his palm and put his annular on the table, and tried to decapitate it directly without the slightest hesitation!

-Clang!!

But before the blood blade reached his wrist, a black shield was instantly created around his hand, breaking his blade into pieces of glass!

"What is it?!!" Before he assimilated what just happened before his eyes, the ring began to suck his blood from his ring finger, making Alvine even more alarmed!

"Fucking ring! Greed, come on!" Then, without hesitation, he ordered Greed to slice off his arm!

Of course, the latter did not look far; he instantly appeared in front of Alvine with a giant black sword that was no less large than Darka's.

The sudden emergence of Greed Alarmed Even Linnaella, who was the most confused; as a result, she instantly moved away from Alvine and Greed, who had a giant sword in his hand.

He made a vertical Slash toward Alvine's hand with all his power without hesitation. By being in the shadow of his master, he had attended the whole process; in all likelihood, he and Alvine were sure that the intentions of the ring were not good!

But unfortunately for Greed, before his sword reached Alvine's arm, the ring also attacked fiercely by freezing Greed's movements like a sculpture!

"Gosh shit! Since it's like that, you don't leave me any other choice!" Alvine gritted her teeth with hatred towards the ring.

He raised his left hand, and a black sword appeared in his hand. 'No, that's not enough! I need more power!' He said to Himself.

At the same time, according to his will, Kimiko reshaped itself into a hammer axe, and he tried again to decapitate his hand!

Even in his wildest dreams, he would never have imagined that he would have such a hatred towards an artifact to the point of wanting to self-harm!

But he didn't care about such details at the moment!

The hammer, weighing more than five hundred kilos, whistled ruthlessly to his wrist!

But just a few centimeters from his right wrist, Alvine stopped his action, following what Kimiko had just told him.

*Are you sure what you're telling me? * He asked Kimiko about their spiritual ties.

*Trust me, master! She doesn't want to hurt you; it's just one of the conditions to activate her! Besides blood, she also needs at least three times the energy you gave me.*

"Sigh, I hope it's a joke?! If this continues, I will not only become a dried mummy, but she will pump all my energy. I’ll die!" Alvine shouted these words at Kimiko.

From the point of view of others, Alvine would undoubtedly look like a madman who had first tried to self-harm but also talked to a hammer!

But fortunately for him, the person who looked at him was not a simple person. Linn had eyes almost out of their orbits. 'Impossible! He can also invoke one of Alvinos’ immortal soldiers?! Who is this monster at the end?!' She said to herself with sweating hands.
