Chapter 98: Arthur
[The memories of the succubus card have been sealed.]
[You can't read more than 70% of her memories.]
[Her loyalty to you is weak because of the weak quality chain and collar.]
"It's not just because demons are a more clever and demanding race…." Leon held the car in his hands, reading the system window floating before his eyes. "Someone much stronger has sealed their memories. Which queen?"
Leon learned a little about the demonic communities and their royalties thanks to his book of monsters. He knew there were many queens and kings but wasn't even aware of their nicknames and their meaning. He lacked the knowledge that Celes had because he didn't know this event would evolve this far.
Leon wasn't discouraged, though.
He saw the recent memories of the succubus just fine. He knew that they had imprinted their senses on the unicorn and that it was just a matter of time and resources before that mythical race fell into their hands. They still couldn't allow anyone to come close by through sheer luck: hence, the attack on Leon and the other parties.
Leon also knew where they had made their temporary headquarters!
"That's enough… We'll recuperate and go for more succubi." Leon turned his head to the side and hovered his eyes on many humans whose enslavement items had been worse than his.
They couldn't control the succubi, order them, or make them shut up!
But even with trash items, those guys managed to stop every curvaceous woman from suicide, as slavery was a concept where enslaved person's life was no longer theirs.… And now, they started their 'taming', each in their own way.
Leon didn't doubt that those guys would follow him to the main lair of those demons to get even more succubi. If he were to say that higher quality women awaited those guys, those people would even abandon their current trophies and try out their luck.
That was a common humanity's greed…. No, as Leon said before to the dragon maid, it was the greed everyone had within themselves.
"So it's been really you, Ender…."
Leon didn't expect to hear someone calling him out in such a way. It was the voice of someone equal to him and clearly not interested in the succubi. He wheeled to that person and noticed a man around his age going toward him with a wide smile and confident steps.
His eyes concealed a deep curiosity about Leon.
"Ah, you're from the Heaven Library Guild…." Leon rolled his eyes, feeling like some of his new fame could possibly bite him in the ass right now.
The man's smile became wider. He wore a sleeveless red shirt, long crimson pants, and black boots. He didn't have anything else significant on himself, but it was clear that his body was a weapon of his own. His exposed arms revealed so many vines as though someone had stuffed them within him. Those were so thick and well-developed that Leon wouldn't be surprised if someone told him that this man had trained his whole life.
He had a certain aura around himself… Leon didn't doubt that this man was a human, so he inferred that he'd met someone with a unique physique like him. The thing was that Leon didn't know how good this man's powers were as he didn't learn the common classification and more of the common stuff.
"Since you're here, going south from Malre City, you are heading to the main guild! It just takes you a long time…." The man glanced at Alexandra, standing dutifully on her master's side. He heard about one more woman with black hair and red eyes, surely a vampire, but she wasn't there.
Nonetheless, the rumors about Ender said he had lost someone close to him in the split spirit realm. The man didn't want to talk about it because he had come here with a clear goal — it wasn't to make Ender his enemy.
Understanding that Leon had his reasons to be slow, his smile turned into that of a common misunderstanding, irking Leon as he instantly understood what had occurred in that guy's mind.
The man continued with his speech. "Your main target should be the unicorn, right? Ender, I want to issue a battle with you for the leadership of this group. We'll save the unicorn and bring him to the main guild. The same goes for the treasury, so our Heavenly Library will get more content and research for our seniors."
He didn't hide that both of them would be heftily rewarded for doing such a thing. The difference between them was that Leon didn't care about helping the library but leveraging it instead. He wasn't close to the guild and never imagined his future there.
It was one of the stops on his adventure.
But that man had clearly close ties with that guild and even worked for its sake from the start.
Leon also didn't want to fight a meaningless battle. "You can convince those guys to join your band instead."
He peeked at the sleeveless man's party — the four pretty women. Those girls' attire revealed more or less their purpose, and nearly three of them were meant to be an offensive power, with the last girl wielding healing prowess… Leon imagined that this party was for a high grinding and leveling up.
It took him a while to realize that this man possibly had a harem.
It was the first time Leon had someone blatantly adventuring with girls like him.
Leon smirked, feeling a little closer to that man. "We have joined arms under the same goal — to get the apron succubus for everyone. I now just have learned about their main headquarters in the vicinity and that those women had managed to wound the unicorn with a tracking skill. Perhaps, higher quality succubi are waiting for us…."
He targeted those words to the mass, catching their attention.
"Everyone wants treasure, too, you know… Everyone's ready to get their hands on it through a battle royal system." Leon spoke to the man from the same guild, smiling. "I don't think you will get those guys' cooperation if you win against me."
The man's red hair swayed like irritated flames.
