King of succubus



Sitting in one of the royal rooms, Alvine was thinking about everything that had just happened.

The second after, his voice sounded in the room.

"Did you discover something strange with them?" He asks without opening his eyes.

At the same time, a man dressed in a butler's suit appeared in front of him.

"No, my lord. The others seem to have no problem with their minds. I checked each subordinate but I didn't detect any anomaly with them. But I think you already knew that; am I wrong?"

Hearing Asskald's sober and placid voice, Alvine finally opened his eyes. "...Anything else?"

"...Yes; I'd like to know if you have decided about whom will accompany you to attend this meeting that will take place tomorrow." He asks while looking at Alvine.

"Yes, I had already decided."

"...So, allow me to...

"No, you will stay here and ensure the safety of this planet."

"...In this case, allow me to propose my...-

"Of course, your sister will stay here too."

"Wait, the situation’s more dangerous than you can imagine. There are...-

"Sigh, my dear Askald." Alvine sighs as he guesses Askald's next words.

"Your intellect far exceeds mine. But I have the impression you've underestimated me since your release." He said, looking at Askald, who lowers his head before their eyes meet.

"With all due respect, I have the impression that you are making fun of me, master. Although I'm praised for my intelligence, even when I was under the order of the old man, you are the only one to read in me like an open book. That's what makes you scarier." He mutters with an ironic smile.

Alvine raises his eyebrows. "Instead of persisting in coming with me, you will serve me better if you ensure the safety of my subjects." He finally sighs before saying these words at a slow pace.

Askald frowns. "Your subjects? Do I have to understand that you achieved the goal you wanted before your hibernation?"

Alvine got out of bed and stood a few centimeters from Askald. "My dear Askald, you did me a great favor by convincing me to do this hibernation to change the way I see things. Thanks to you, I finally have the opportunity to find enemies that exceed my current level. These obstacles on my way, I hope, will allow me to grow and achieve my goal." He gives him a diabolical smile before going out into the room.

Askald had several strange gleams in his eyes when he heard Alvine's words.

But when he woke up from his awe, he realized that Alvine was no longer in the room.

He immediately follows the steps to join him.

"You know, little intrigued me in this world. But now, I have so many gaps and unsolved mysteries that I no longer have time to get bored."

He heard Alvine's voice when he appeared in the basement of the castle.

Both were on the top floor of the castle. But in the blink of an eye, they appeared in the basement.

"It's... I don't know what to say to respond to such compliments." Askald stutters.

"Haha, Don't worry about that, I can read your emotions; it's the most important thing." He laughed with an open heart before vanishing in front of Askald once again.

The latter frowns by guessing Alvine's destination.

In the same second, he also disappeared.

"..." Arriving at the destination, he looks around with a bad feeling before focusing on Alvine.

"My lord, why are we... here?" He mutters in a low voice.

Alvine doesn't answer, he snaps his fingers and a black dome covers the entire arena he had used to train with the golems.

He then smiles at Askald.

"It's normal for a sovereign to check the current power of one of his army leaders level; don't you think?"

"...Hahaha~, why do I feel cold by hearing your words? But if it's an order, then I have no choice but to respect it." He shakes his head with an ironic smile on his lips.

"Ah, Askald, I feel like I'm forcing you to train. Can I hear your deep thoughts before starting the game?"

"...Will it save me from burning my magical energy?"

"Nobody knows, maybe you'll succeed in creating a miracle by making me change my mind."

"Tss~, can I have at least one...-

"Your sister is currently dealing with matters of the utmost importance. Finally, we don't really need money."

"S-So she can assist me for...-

"What are you afraid of, Askald? You can see I'm within your reach. Unlike me, you and your sister have lost nothing during these millennia. You quietly stayed in these crystals without losing even a drop of your power.

-No, there's a mistake, you've become stronger. I'd even say that you have become stronger than your sister." Alvine frowns with a contradictory smile on his lips.

"..." Askald remains momentarily silent.

"Well, Askald, you can deny me if I'm wrong. At the time, you were the only one to do it; you and your sister. The others were unable to look me in the face because of their fear. But you, ah, if only you could know how eager I was to see you?!" Alvine's smile grew dangerously on his lips as he saw Askald hesitate.

He then manifests Kimiko in his left hand and puts it on his shoulder.

Seeing his confident look, Askald had a sneaky smile. "My word, you have become scarier than before." He mutters with a tense air.

He then continued with a forced smile. "You are right, master. I can't hide anything from you. As powers are, in large part, based on spiritual attacks, I had all my time to refine them." He mutters while removing his white gloves.

"It's perfect then! This means that you had enough time to find a way to defeat me; am I wrong?" Alvine's aura is beginning to be perceptible on his body.

"...No, I regret it. No matter how much I look for and replay all the scenes of our previous battles, I now realize that it was lost in advance.

-This immature air you have is more unpredictable than..-

"Askald, that's what's more boring with you. You pronounce your failures even before starting the battle. I don't like him."

"...You have all the reasons to hate this side of me. But a good strategist must see all the possibilities before the start of a battle; it is necessary for the survival of his troops; master, do I have to understand that you have forgotten my lessons on the art of war?"

"Sigh, I don't really know, but I don't know how to remember it; it's been years after all."

"...Okay, you won the big lottery. I think I also need you to let off steam a little."

Alvine's smile became wonderful when he saw Askald bite the hook. "Happy to hear it. Bring yourself back, my dear junk monarch." He said, showing all his aura without hiding anything.

Askald's face darkens with discontent. His gloves suddenly turn into a particle of light and vanished without a trace.

-D0000000000000MMMM

The whole arena trembles when he shows his aura as black as Alvine's but more fierce than his own.

A ten-meter-long spear then appears in his right hand. He looks at Alvine as if he were looking at his worst enemy. "Master, no, dear disciple, I would never allow you to address me with this nickname!"

-BANG!!

A sonic bang sounds in the arena as soon as Alskald has gained momentum toward Alvine!

Simultaneously, the walls of the arena broke into piles of stones when his spear met Alvine's sword, which was waiting for him firmly.

-BZZZ...

Sparks of lightning could be seen on their weapons as one tried to repel the other.

"Your disciple? I don't feel like I am anymore. You haven't dared to look me in the eye since you regained consciousness." Alvine growls these words before creating thousands of spears above him.

Askald looks above him and his eyes turn dark black.

-VRRRRRR!!!

In the same second, hundreds of black holes appeared in the middle of Alvine's weapons and devoured them all in one go!!

He then looks straight into Alvine's eyes with his own. "...It's because I can no longer know if you are still my master or someone else!"

Hearing his words, Alvine's mind was dizzy.

His hands and legs began to weaken as he looked into Askald's eyes.

He immediately guessed that Askald had just used a spiritual skill against him.

But before he gives in to the sudden torpor, a sneaky smile embellishes his lips.

"...Not bad! But you attacked the wrong place." As soon as he whispers these words,

-B00M!

...A mysterious force falls on Askald and sends him flying before being stopped by the barrier that Alvine had put in place before the beginning of hostilities.

Askald remains momentarily glued to the barrier. He wipes the blood he had on his lips with a sneaky smile.

"You said right." He mutters.

"About what." Alvine frowns.

"You seem to have forgotten some details about me."

Alvine's confusion immediately turned into panic! He leaps towards Askald with his blade zooming towards his throat! "...! No, I don't...-

"Khehehe! That’s too late, master!" Askald laughed loudly without bothering to dodge Alvine's attack.

But the latter stops before his blade touches Askald's throat.

He felt a sweet taste in his mouth as he looked at Askald with wild eyes.

-Cough!

He spits blood in his mouth before moving away from Askald. "I see. You're really angry, huh?" He mutters with a dark smile while wiping the blood he had on his lips.

"Heh, what instructor won't be angry when he sees his disciple call him junk? I didn't have the power to take revenge on you. But now it's different!" Askald mutters these words with crazy eyes.

He then looks at Alvine with a smile from one ear to another. "I also waited a long time to be able to attend the day when I could have fun with you as you did at the time. My lord, you'll feel your pain!"

He shows another similar spear in his other hand.

'...Ah, Askald; this bastard finally shows me his real face! Unlike his sister, it’s the first time he has given his all in our duel.' Alvine mutters these words when he sees Askald standing in front of him with two spears.

He floats above Alvine as his aura continued to increase.

"I see that you have finally noticed. But it's too late to escape from here. My sister is stronger than me only because I rarely fight with my two spears; all those who have faced me in this state are no longer alive to tell this." He looks at Alvine with a haughty air.

"Kuku, I knew you'd hide a beast deep inside you; it was just waiting for an opportunity to show up." Alvine also roars and transforms Kimiko into a long blood-red scythe.

He looks at Askald with abyssal black eyes.

"Show me that you've made enough progress to entertain me!"

"Of course! I would not disappoint you. But I'm afraid you won't be able to tell this to anyone else; since you're going to die here and now!"

"Tss~, you must not bid on the skin of a monster before slaying it."

With these last exchanges, the two began to fight to defeat the other.
