King of succubus

Chapter 318 Master?!

While Brave and Elaydja were trying to negotiate with Serena, Nicco, who had just made her way to her master thanks to the stele, appeared in the small white room of five square meters.

But as for Alvine and his little squad, seeing this new stranger join them, they frowned while the four generals surrounded him to ensure his protection.

"Master, I'm sorry for my delay, but I did it as fast as possible to join you." Nicco did not pay attention to the suspicious auras from Alvine and the others; she calmly pronounced these words as she approached them.

'Master? Who she's that one again?' Alvine murmured in his thoughts as his frown gradually increased.

"My lord, this woman is probably an enemy who wants to take advantage of our weakness to murder you! Please do not listen to her senseless words. She doesn't belong to any of our squads. Not to mention our four squads; this is the first time I have seen another hybrid except master Nicco and Lady Yury; there are no other hybrids in our ranks!" Vlad, the general of the elite squad of elves, whispered these words with impassive eyes.

"I know, but this is not the time to waste our energy more. Finally, as long as she stays away from us." Alvine also nods with cold eyes.

Hearing Alvine's words, Nicco remained speechless and looked at them with incredulous eyes.

'... Huh? Ah! I almost forgot that my appearance is different from usual. And since they cannot use their magical energies or perceptions, they can't identify me. Hmm~ maybe I should take advantage of this situation to annoy master more? Sigh, but the situation is not adequate for my little whims. On top of that, I'm too exhausted to change shape.' With these thoughts, she stopped at her steps and looked around.

Seeing her actions, Alvine and the others became even more suspicious of her.

'Sigh, if I were alone, I could have destroyed this room with my Gehenna flames. But if I use them, my subordinates will be the first to die before this space collapses. And as if it were not enough, there is now another mystery that has just been added to the chessboard. Even if I do not feel any hostility on her part, her presence in this place does not foreshadow anything good. And the worst thing is that she seems to have the opportunity to use her magical energy, unlike us!' Alvine spoke these words while paying attention to Nicco's actions.

'If she learns that our magical energy and physical strength are sealed, this room will surely become her hunting ground.' He continued to put himself on maximum alert.

"Seeing your mistrust, if I explain myself more, it'll only sow more confusion and mistrust of me. That's why I suggest you cooperate together to go out in this shit. Then--

"Tsk, tsk, you think you are for whom to dare us--

"You shut it up! I never asked for your opinion but that of my master." Seeing Barade interrupt her in the middle of her sentence, Nicco shouts these words while using a bit of her primordial aura to intimidate him.

"!?!" It was only after this action on her part that the others, including Alvine, realized a scary factor.

Unlike the others who focus only on Nicco's ability to use her aura in such a situation, Alvine's thoughts are quite different.

'Of the primordial aura?! Who is this girl at the end?! Is she one of the leaders or one of the Punishers?! Regardless of her identity, as long as her intentions are not revealed, she'll remain a high-ranking threat that must not be provoked in such a situation.' He said to Himself, tapping Barade's shoulder to stop him from guessing the latter's intentions.

"Fufu~ what do you think of my proposal? According to your expression, you have certainly concluded that you'll have no chance against me in such a situation. Above all, with your sealed magical energy." She whispered her last sentence with a mischievous smile that went all the way to her ears.

'So she knew from the beginning, Huh? Nothing surprising coming from one of these primordials!' Alvine concludes the next moment after hearing her statements.

"Very good. Even if I don't know your intentions, this is not the time for me to worry about it."

"Hmm? I find that you accept my proposal too easily. Is there a particular reason for this?"

"Sigh, only an idiot would refuse such a proposal in such a situation. And then, if you intended to kill us, you'd have already done it from the beginning. After all, we're currently easy prey."

Hearing Alvine's comment, Nicco laughed ridiculously.

"Easly prey, do you say? That's surely true for others, but for you, I have the impression that it would be unfortunate for me to underestimate you." While retorting these words, she focuses on the wall behind her.

'Well, I can freeze a small part of this wall to weaken and break it with a punch. But the problem is the celestial flame that refused to manifest its presence since I landed in this room. It's as if it is afraid of something, but what? This room represents no danger either for me or for the celestial flame. So why does she act so strangely?' While asking herself these questions, Nicco tried to manifest her celestial flame.

But at that moment, she heard the agitated voice of the latter resonate in her head

*M-Master, if I show myself in front of this man, he would risk killing me!*

*Hm? Who exactly are you talking about, this man?* She asked with incredulous eyes.

*The other with white hair!*

Hearing its words, Nicco looked at Alvine with contracted eyebrows.

*Why would he kill you? In addition to being powerless without being able to use his mana, you're also under my protection, so don't worry; he won't be able to do anything against y-

*You haven't understood yet?! He's not the real danger, but the flames he possesses!*

*... Ah, are you talking about his Gehenna flames? Why are you afraid of spiritual flames? Even if you are weak compared to other celestial flames, you are still a celestial flame!*

*Spiritual flames?! It's impossible! Even if it's weak and not really present with him, it always gives off a fierce aura that gives me the impression of dying at all times! I'm not ready to face it when I've just finished my evolution!*

'Strange, a celestial flame so intimidated by my master's gehenna flame? It's impossible to feel such fear of a similar, even if it has just finished its evolution. Heavenly flames are known to be arrogant. This little kid respects me only because of his gratitude to me, who played a major role during his evolution. She even dared to attack a primordial being without flinching, so why is she so afraid of the flames of my mast--

"Do you have a solution to break these walls?" At that moment, Alvine's voice woke her up in her thoughts.

? "Umm~ I indeed have a solution, but my services will not be free." She said, removing her hand from the white wall.

"Sigh, I expected this kind of request; you are all similar. Finally, as long as you don't ask me the impossible, we'll have a deal. But let's not waste any more time; my men are starting to run out of air!" Alvine retorted without bothering to listen to Nicco's request.

'Finally! I hold him!' Nicco retorted in her thoughts with sparkling eyes that dazzled Alvine and the other four, forcing them to look away.

'W-why, I feel as if I've already seen her. I hope with all my heart that I have misconceptions.' While pronouncing these words in his thoughts, Alvine focused on his actions after the dazzling light.

But the next moment, his eyes widened when he heard Nicco whisper something he could never imagine.

|Concept of blood: blood arrow!|

Hearing Nicco saying these words in the primordial language he understood as well as his mother tongue and seeing the droplets of the golden blood merges in front of Nicco's index finger and turn into a golden arrow that released relentless pressure to the point of putting them on their knees, Alvine was sure that he hadn't misheard Nicco's sentence.

'I'm sure it's the concept of blood she's using! The same concept as Sabrina! Who is this fucking girl at the end?!' He shouted in his thoughts while clenching his fists to the point that others could hear his joints cracking because of his nervous astonishment.

-Shoot!

-SWHOOOOSH-BANNNG!!!

But before he could think further, he saw Nicco bomb the black wall in front of her, creating a ten-meter-thick hole.

Seeing the damage of her arrow, unlike the others who were surprised by the frightening power that the arrow had just demonstrated, Alvine was surprised to see the resilience of the ripe.

'To be able to create such a room just to prevent emperor mages from the lower ranks, located on this planet, from entering this area; this place must not only be a simple tomb.' He said to Himself while looking at the others who had already collapsed on the ground because of the pressure of Nicco's aura.

But simultaneously, he noticed something that made him sigh with relief.

"Finally, we can use our powers." He said to Himself with a small smile at the corners of his lips.

"Since we don't know what awaits us out of this room, do your best to recover. We can't afford to--

But before he finished his sentence, the whole wall began to restore at a breathtaking speed.

Seeing this, Alvine blinked with a mocking smile.

[Dimensional jump!]

He then murmured, teleporting everyone with him, including Nicco, out of the small room.

'Hm? A sarcophagus?' He continued in his dazzling, looking around him and noticing the only coffin in front of him in the grand auditorium, which looked like an underground royal hall.

But the next moment, Nicco's voice interrupted him in his thoughts.

"Huh? Are you now protecting a stranger that you don't know?"

Hearing Nicco's question, Alvine gave her a dark look.

But the next moment, he sighed with abandonment.

*You owe me explanations afterward about this strange appearance.* He retorted through their telepathy tie.

*...! Sigh, I was starting to enjoy this game; it's a shame.* Nicco answers by guessing that Alvine has discovered her identity.

'I'm now sure! His magical perception is not only able to see the magical energy of people but also their souls.' She continued while creating a translucent barrier around them with a simple snap of the fingers.

*Master, I have to talk to you in private.*

*Does this have anything to do with this place or your new appearance? Then, by the way, why can I feel the magical energy and soul of my three maidservants in you? *

*I would explain everything in detail, but there is more urgent than my appearance; we must never break the seal of the creature that's sealed here. Otherwise, we'll be condemned!*
