King of succubus

Chapter 415 Alvine's concern.

Chapter 415  Alvine's concern.

When Alvine left the basement of his palace, he noticed Zakiel and Shadow waiting for him on the arena’s bleachers.

The duels of the four women always continued as when he had left the arena; except for the fact that they had become more ferocious in their duels.

Alvine sits on the chair in front of the two and continued his role as a spectator with two more spectators.

"News?" He asks Zakiel.

The latter, without turning his eyes to the current battle, responds in a sober tone. "They noticed that we captured Index."

Shadow frowns at Zakiel. "Are you sure of what you're saying, General Zakiel? I was careful when I went to capture this man. I had left my subordinates behind me when I went to capture this guy; all this for the sole purpose of not being in trouble and remaining discreet.

His subordinates were not even aware that he was back when I captured him. Plus, I had checked behind me to make sure that his subordinates did not have suspicions." Shadow explains as if he is trying to prove his prudence during his mission.

But Zakiel was not ready to let go of the sponge either. "I'm not saying that the leak comes from your mission. In any case, one of my clones was able to possess one of Ring's close guards; and from what I know, the heads of the order plan to gather to decide how to proceed. This information is certified, since it comes from me." The arrogance was neither visible in his words nor his eyes even though he was addressing a subordinate.

"..."

Seeing them silent, Alvine continued; grappling with another subject.

"Zakiel, did you manage to locate Askald's real body?"

The latter nods his head. "Yes, thanks to the information I was able to collect by searching in the memories of each clone, I was not only able to locate Sir Askald but also collected some interesting information about these fanatics who claim to be followers of the supreme god."

"Hohoo~? It's really unexpected as new."

Zakiel nods. "Yes, the fact that I was able to locate Sir Zakiel with so much ease even makes me doubt if it is not bait to attract us to their lair."

"Yes, this hypothesis is quite plausible." Alvine also walks on the path of anticipation.

"The presence and unexpected withdrawal of Index, coupled with the fact that he did not take refuge in the territory of one of the leaders; our enemies may try to use Askald as bait." He continues.

"...They want to weaken us by capturing one of us?" Shadow frowns with an anchored expression.

"Not necessarily." Zakiel shakes his head.

"What do you mean by that?"

Hearing Shadow's question, instead of answering it, he looks at his master with doubtful eyes; as if he hesitated to say what he had in Alvine had a derisive smile when guessing Zakiel's answer. "Do you think they're aiming for me, am I wrong?"

Shadow's eyes became darker when he heard his master's question. It was so ridiculous for him that he couldn't help smiling cynically. "General Zakiel, you want us to believe that these weak bastards are brave enough to--

"Stop having such a limited mind, Shadow." Alvine interrupts him before he finishes ridiculing Zakiel's assumptions.

"I apologize, my lord." He immediately regained his cold blood when he saw Alvine scolding him.

"No need to apologize for that," Alvine answers nonchalantly by crossing his arms with his head raised towards the sky.

He looks momentarily at the night sky, taking advantage of the light and sudden wind breeze that was caused by one of Linn's fierce attacks, and then continued;

"Just like you, our enemies probably know that I weakened after I woke up. But since they have left me free so far, it would mean that they are waiting for something.

-And since we don't know what it is, coupled with the fact that we don't know what makes them so confident as to give me so much time before starting their rides so blatantly, it means that they have a powerful ally in their ranks." He continues with these explanations.

"..."

Seeing them silent, Alvine addresses Zakiel. "I know what you're worried about, Zakiel. Since Askald's seal can only be broken by me, our enemies are probably waiting for us on foot on the spot. That's why, if you need me to intervene, don't hesitate to ask me."

As soon as he finished his sentence, Shadow and Zakiel's expression darkens!

"Monseigneur, punish me if my words offend you; but you must never go and throw yourself into their webs. Everything suggests that this information is a trap, so why will you have to--

Alvine interrupted Zakiel. "Zakiel, you're my subordinate; I attach as much importance to your lives as every member of my family. That's valid for all other subordinates, never forget it."

"..."

"But I'm not an idiot to rush headlong. In this universe, there are more powerful entities that are superior supreme entities; you know, like you, who can overcome the transcendent peaks."

"..!!" Shadow and Zakiel's eyes waver with disbelief.

"You mean there are people as powerful as you, master!?" Shadow could not hide his skepticism despite himself.

He was locked in a spiritual prison. On the one hand, he could not deny the words of his lord, but on the other hand, it was simply impossible for him to believe that entities as powerful as his lord could exist in the universe. Zakiel was no better than him.

Alvine frowns when he hears Zakiel's statements. "Very well, the plan remains the same; we'll waiting, you and your subordinates will try to gain power at all costs and we will only act if the enemy knocks directly on our doors." This was his conclusion, which he also shared with his two generals.

Understanding the meanings of his words, the two nodded their head.

"My liege." Luna instantly appeared in front of him.

"Hm?" He looks at Luna, waiting for her to speak.

Seeing her hasty eyes, Alvine could guess that she had more urgent information to submit to him.

As for the latter, despite her efforts, she was unable to regain her usual expression. "My lord, Greed has just started his process of evolution to the next step!" She said in a roque voice.

"-!?" It was not only Zakiel and Shadow who were surprised, even Alvine could not hide his surprise in the face of Luna's revelations.

"Very well, you will inform Heepha; tell her to join me as soon as possible!" Alvine gives his instructions directly without asking for more.

"Hah!" Luna responds like a soldier in the army and her silhouette flashes in front of Alvine and the others.

Alvine then looks at his two generals with him. "You will stay here; while waiting for my return, you will follow the duel of these four and make sure that nothing happens to them."

The two nodded their head followed by Alvine's disappearance as well.

..

Alvine didn't need to ask Luna where Greed was.

Currently, in the N•06 arena of the castle, Alvine was.

Unlike the other castle floors, the second floor was the only one with more arenas. The first level did not have an arena, but a reception room, alchemy room, the forge room, etc.

The second floor had a total of nine arenas; three for captains, three for generals, and the last three were reserved for other ordinary soldiers who did not have military grades.

In addition to these nine arenas, there is also the treasure room which is managed by some subordinates who were in charge of finance; even if Alvine does not ask for the account or any other details related to this branch.

The only rather petty person among Alvine's subordinates, Elena, was the only one who cares about it.

She was also the person who forced her brother and even scolded him sometimes for not bringing the possessions of his enemies; after defeating them. She is a girl who attaches as much importance to treasures as to her own life; a real greed.

After this brief moment of absence, Alvine returned to reality. The first thing he had noticed from the beginning was the ferocious energy that was breaking in all directions from a black cocoon.

While looking at the cocoon in the middle of the arena, and the fierce energy it gave off, Alvine frowns.

'For Greed to transcend transcendence, and become an entity as powerful as my generals, he will need the help of my original; except that the latter is busy training to regain his former power.

-Among my generals, Zakiel is the closest to supremacy, the others are at the semi-supreme level.

Barely transformed into shadow soldiers, my subordinates automatically become entities as powerful as high-ranking primordials. They were unable to show this power only because of me who did not know anything about their powers and my weakness to help them show all their potential.

I did not know that the shade energy, which I was desperately trying to grow up, was everywhere, just like the shadow that existed everywhere; even in people's hearts. At that time, I tied the energy of the shadow only in the shadow; but I did not know that negative feelings, however insignificant they were, were the most important. Thus, I no longer have a problem at this level, since during a battle, the intention to kill is always present.

My three monarchs are the only ones to really excess supremacy. Even I am only in the semi-Supreme rank, just like my generals.

If I remember correctly, after the primordial rank that contains three stages, namely the low rank, intermediate and high level, the transcendent rank is different.

This last has four levels: Low rank, intermediate, upper, and peak.

As for supremacy... it's the most abnormal, even I can't say with certainty how much grade it contains.

But according to my former level, I had almost reached the high rank; after exceeding the first four ranks which are semi-supreme, supremacy, intermediate and superior supremacy.' While he was in his thoughts, he suddenly frowns when he saw black lightning crackling around the cocoon that enclosed Greed.

"Sigh, his evolution must begin from one moment to the next. But there is just a very small problem." He addresses himself by looking at the night sky above his head.

"I have to move this bomb before it explodes in the castle. The place may look like the outside, because of the tens of thousands of stars that Askald had created to perfect his level of control over creation, but we are still inside the castle. It will be very bad timing to let Greed perform his transcendence towards the semi-supreme rank here." He continued with dark eyes.

He then places his index and major finger on the left temple. **Fy, join me; and don't send me one of your clones, we must move a fragile object with increased sensitivity.**

As soon as he finished these words, he received the answer from Fy who manifested herself behind him.

"My lord, is that what I believe?" The latter also focuses on the cocoon with doubtful eyes.

Alvine looks at her momentarily with sober eyes. 'She must surely have already reached the superior supreme rank. But given my current level, I can't confirm anything at the moment; finally, that’s not the time to speculate on her. I know that we still have no luck against our enemies, but the time is in our favor for now. Let's just hope that these bastards don't rush on us before my training ends. And--

"My lord?" Seeing Alvine stare at her so intensely, Fy frowns.

mind.

"Are you still angry with me?" She asks in a trembling voice.

'In any case, she always seems to fear me as if I'm always the same. I also noticed this fear that Zakiel and the others feel towards me, even though they know that I'm no longer the same; it is as if it were engraved in their hearts.

-It's disturbing, but I can't be too familiar with them overnight. There are several risks to consider; after all, this is one of the factors I appreciated at that time.' With this conclusion, he looks at the cocoon.

"Let's move this bomb first before it explodes." He says without answering Fy's question.

"At your command, my Liege." The latter response in a firm and hasty voice.

'He looks sad, even if I can't guess the cause.' She murmured in her mind.
