King of succubus

Chapter 236 Linn Is Like Babylon’s Queen!

After hearing Alvine's unreasonable request, Linnaelle felt she had been fooled in her own game.

After the mysterious disappearance of the supreme tree, there had never been the appearance of any primordial artifact, weapon, or elixirs; until Linddra and Rayja, the last two primordials to awaken after thirty centuries. One was an outstanding alchemist who could create primordial potions capable of healing any fatal wound of a primordial being. While the other could shape weapons that could kill primordials without too much effort, his artifacts could seal any primordial beings!

That's why as soon as they appeared, the war between these two natural enemies turned into a fiasco. They all wanted to have one or both in their camps. But like all other primordials, they were destined to be in separate camps, perhaps to balance the laws of the universe of the supreme tree or for something else.

But despite this, they didn't care who they had to help or not. Linddra had created not only elixirs for the Punishers but also for leaders. Like Linddra, Rayja was not different either; and these two certainly had competition and hostilities between them but were more like a kind of rivals than sworn enemies. In other words, they were not interested in the war that was raging but rather did what they wanted without having anyone to track them down.

To date, their creations were so expensive that a Punisher would be prey to all leaders if ever his treasures were discovered by one of them, and vice versa.

As a result, knowing that Alvine was going to set foot in her room, of which no one else but she had set foot, Linnaella was anxious, despite knowing that she could kill Alvine with a simple boost. She could not lower her guard against the unknown.

"I warn you, at the slightest suspicious action on your part, I swear by the supreme goddess name that I’ll kill you without the slightest hesitation!" She says in an unwavering and decisive tone.

"Don't worry; I'll just take a look. I'm not like you, who steals everything can steal from." He replied, thinking about his current situation.

Even if he was more frustrated than anyone else, he knew that at the moment, because of the rumors about him, he was not as well treated as an elixir that could boost the power of his infamous beings. Who are ready to do anything to grab him, like an object.

"Tsk." Linn slaps her tongue and then doesn't say anything anymore.

She advanced in front of the ugly, muddy door and placed her palm on the latter, which immediately shone at the reaction of her energy.

Alvine could see her hair shine in the same starry glow as her eyes and float like algae underwater even though there was no draft...

Then suddenly, he felt the whole corridor tremble as if everything was going to collapse on them. But he ignored this insignificant detail; he focused all his attention on Linn's door and actions, whose foreheads sparkle with sweat.

This fact made Alvine even more curious. He could guess that the door pumped a phenomenal amount of energy essential to open. Although he had other conditions for the door to open, he didn't care about these details.

Suddenly, the door that had to open slowly, like the other doors, disappeared instantly in front of Linn, leaving Alvine speechless!

His surprise was not due to the reaction of the door but to the contents of the 'room'!

His gaze switched between Linn and the 'ROOM' with complex feelings. "Where are we?" He couldn't help asking this question.

But for the first time since he met this woman, she ignored him. "Follow me, and don't touch anything." She said, crossing the doorsteps.

An ironic smile appeared on Alvine's lips, not knowing how to respond to this warning on her part.

The room was...empty!

Instead of calling it an empty room, it was not even a room, but in the middle of nowhere, in a space where Alvine could see thousands of stars forming a galaxy of the most beautiful that is with a multitude of colors all as beautiful as each other.

But despite everything, two questions persist in his head: why is an entire universe, behind a door, supposed to be a treasure room?! And why did she insist on not touching anything when there is nothing but stars behind this door?

But his question did not remain a mystery.

"This is my storage room. Everything I cherish is here, in this dimensional room." Her voice resounded next to Alvine as she looked from afar at the fanciful landscape.

"A-A dimensional storage room?" Alvine stammered these words, believing that he had misunderstood her words.

"Yes, a little like a space bag that you have around your waist." She replied, looking at the small black bag on Alvine's waist.

"I had already understood, but thank you anyway. Apart from that...is it supposed to be so Enorme?"

"Hihi~, my concept is space, so it's normal for me to build something to the greatness of my powers, don't you think?" She replied with her mischievous smile.

"No... I rather feel like you're wasting your powers." Alvine shook his head.

"Tsk, Tsk, what a lack of delicacy on the part of a man. In short, follow me on the trail, don't get too far from me if you don't want to die by one of the traps." She warned while wrapping Alvine in a space shield.

But despite everything, Alvine could feel the strong compression that was trying to crush him from the moment he walked through the front door. He was sure he would turn into a pasture pulpit if he were not in Linn's shield.

'These people are monsters.' He said to Himself while following Linn very closely.

-Wooosh-

After a moment of strolling without a specific goal, according to Alvine, a dazzling glow engulfed them both after Linn touched a small fluffy ball that floated like its thousands of pairs in the galaxy, forcing Alvine to close his eyes.

But when he opened his eyes, he realized that he was no longer in space but in a small glass cube of ten square meters with shelves that exposed small vials as small as a third of the standard vials. But the energy they released and the intoxicating perfume that emanated from them was so powerful and pleasant that Alvine was charmed by them.

"These are the ten bottles of elixirs I have in my possession and that anyone, even a mortal like you, little consumed without consequence. As you can see, there are three shelves: those at the top can help you instantly reach the divine rank with a single consumption. In the middle, each of these three bottles can help you purify your body and energy without leaving any impurities. And finally, on the lowest shelf are the three elixirs that can help you unlock all the affinities except the rare and deviant affinities." She explained each effect of the elixirs that Linddra makes.

But Alvine frowned.

"You're trying to fool me, aren't you? Even if I do not have an in-depth knowledge of alchemy, I know these elixirs are not primordial-grade elixirs. Even if their ranks are one hundred times higher than the divine elixirs of high levels." He said, staring at Linn.

'I remember Sabrina told me that I couldn't consume primordial elixirs until I reached this rank. But according to her words, even these elixirs certainly have incredible effects, but they are not primordial elixirs. I'm sure of it!' He said to Himself in his thoughts while waiting for Linn's answer.

"Ugh! Are you crazy? Your body will disintegrate into space dust if you take an elixir of primordial grade. And even if these elixirs are considered a failure for sister Lind, they are the most coveted elixirs by any mortals and divine mages." She looked at Alvine while frowning as she sermoned him as if Alvine was a man trying to eat what he could not chew.

"Tch, how long have you been worried about my welfare? The three elixirs present here are of no use to me. First, with or without these elixirs, I would reach the high level of divine rank in less than a hundred years. Secondly, with or without these elixirs, my body and my cultivation bases are as strong as anyone, and I don't need them to acquire the affinities I already possess. Finally, thirdly, I don't consume something that is considered a failure by its creator!" After retorting these words, a long silence resonates in the small space.

"And don't even try to convince me; you look like a scam that tries to sell me dubious goods. The purpose of the negotiation is to satisfy both sides; if one is not satisfied, the negotiations do not need to be!" He added when he saw the hesitation in Linn's eyes.

"...Sigh, very good. But instead of a primordial elixir, which could kill you even before I get what I want, I suggest you choose between a weapon and a primordial artifact; this is your last chance!" She proposed this idea by seeing how stubborn Alvine was and who refused any reasoning attempt on her part.

She knew that Alvine would not believe her, no matter what she said to convince him; she would probably not be different from Alvine if she were in the same situation. That was what made her more frustrated. But despite everything, knowing the harmful and destructive effects of the elixirs of the primordial ranks on the body of a no-primordial, she was ready to break negotiations rather than let her celestial star (Alvine) break into a thousand pieces by the stupidity of this latter!

"...All right, show me the artifacts; I'm no longer interested in weapons," Alvine added without hesitation only once.

He had Kimiko in his possession, a versatile weapon that, according to its own explanations, it could take the form its master would like. But since Alvine did not yet have enough power, he could not use its powers at the peak.

"Well, let's go to the tenth storage room. I'm sure you'll find something to your liking." She said, extending her hand to Alvine.

The latter grabbed her hand without fear, and the two immediately disappeared into the transparent cube.
