King of succubus

"Hm? He takes longer than expected. I can help him get out if the situation ever threatens his life, but I think it is not necessary to intervene. Sigh, I want to have fun with these fictional souls but, if he ever wakes up and realizes that I massacred these people, he will surely ask Sabrina to send me back or replace me. And that, I refuse to go back to this boring place!' Sylvia, who was standing next to Alvine's body, weight up the pros, and cons of her actions. Her eyes shone slightly with a mysterious glow as she stared at Alvine tirelessly as if she were a spectator who joyfully witnessed the duel between Alvine and the Elder.

"B-Brother, why this magical beast is joyful while his master has undergone a spiritual attack from the Elder? Do you think the Elder will lose against him?" Asked the princess while she was still caressing her cheek after her mother's sudden slap.

"It's impossible! It is because of this attack that the third Elder is feared by all. Even our father will not be able to defeat him when he suffers this attack from the Elder." Firmly retorted the prince.

"But this beast is so strong that it is even able to control lightning and fire at the same time! Not to mention its strength and teleportation skill! Are you really sure that the Elder will be able to defeat it?!" She still insisted on not being convinced by her brother.

"Your Highness the Princess, even if this magical beast is invincible take my word for it, it will not escape alive against the Elder. Its only chance was to kill him before he finished his mantra. But the elder was smarter than it by making it believe that he needed a minute to activate his skill when in reality, he only needed twenty seconds to get there. Only those who have experienced his attack know how his skill [Soul prison] is not only able to allow him to control the temperature, and air, replicating as many golems as he wants, but the scariest with his skill is that spending thirty minutes inside his dimension is equivalent to one minute in the outside world!" Murmured the royal knight to the princess. While being careful that Sylvia does not hear his voice.

"What?! So that means that they spent more than two hours fighting?! In this case, why hasn't he won yet?!" She asked with a dilemma. She wants to have Alvine as a pet, but the death of the Elder will cause them a heavy loss for the kingdoms!

'That's what worries me. The competence of the elder is such that even my husband fears him. But his competence has a major defect that is known only by a privileged few! It can only be activated once a day! Even if he managed to defeat this magical beast, there is no guarantee that we will be able to defeat his partner! Not to mention that he can't even defeat him despite all the time he spent with him in his soul dimension. Sigh, no matter how much I look at things, we will not be able to get out unscathed in the face of this problem that is beyond us. Is the outside world that dangerous? Despite the risks we would incur by constantly invoking external magic beasts, this is the first time that such a calamity has knocked on our doors. It was definitely a bad decision to have let the former fight against him.' As she was in her rivers of thoughts, Sylvia's excited and melodious voice resounded abruptly.

"HOO~! Hoo~ that's it! He finally managed to safely summon a shadow soldier! Fufu~ I knew he was a talented child but being able to summon a shadow soldier so quickly from his first fight after acquiring the powers of the monarch, it's impressive! Even coming from him!" Joyfully exclaimed Sylvia.

Just after about ten seconds, Alvine's dark eyes resurface! Sylvia slightly frowned her fine eyebrows when she saw Alvine's eyeballs completely black before they regained their original colors. 'I know that Lady Rina warned me about her new powers, but I would have sworn to see the monarch in front of me a second ago. The darkness hidden in him may be more powerful than that of the monarch. Fufu~ I can't wait to see him at its peak!' She said to herself by giving her hand to Alvine who was lying on the slabs of the arena.

"How long do you plan to play the dead?! Did you take about four minutes and thirty seconds to defeat such a weak opponent? Where did your pride and arrogance go when you suffer so much to trample on a simple ant?" Asked Sylvia in a sarcastic tone accompanied by her heavenly smile that beautifully adorned her face.

"Sigh, I had underestimated my opponent. The universe is really full of mysteries. I would never have thought that such an easy duel would turn into something so complicated in which I had to risk my earned life. In short, we have no time to waste. We have spectators who are starting to get impatient." He said, leaning on Sylvia's hand to get up from the ground.

'Sigh, my fears turned out to be just. Even having deployed his most powerful skill against it, the Elder was just as powerless against it. What to do now?' The queen wondered in her heart when he saw Alvine and Sylvia chatting among themselves while the lifeless body of the third Elder lay on the ground. He was simply...dead. 'Despite that its competence is a double-edged blade, I never thought I would witness his end in this way. His arrogance, honor, and self-confidence is the cause of his death. It is a death that deserves both to be described as an honorable death and also a deplorable death. Third Ancient, rest in peace, may your soul find the way back to samsara for the long years you have spent serving the kingdom with dignity.' Prayed inwardly to the queen for the third elder.

"Well, you said you didn't have twisted thoughts by proposing me this duel. But apparently, I was really naive to have taken your word for it." Announced Alvine in an angry tone while approaching the queen while he spoke these words.

"Sigh, Mr. Dalvine, I know that nothing can justify our innocence and we do not deserve your mercy, but I still ask you to take only my life and spare my children and the kingdom." She begged and proposed the only solution she had found to have a chance to appease the anger of these aliens.

"Hm? Why would I do that?!" Asked Alvine, being surprised beyond his expectations. 'I just wanted to put some pressure on her but I never thought she would ask me to take her life to compensate for the affronts of this grumpy old man. Sigh, maybe she just wants to save her children finally.' He concludes after managing his surprise.

Contrary to what he might think, the Queen had misinterpreted her question. She put herself directly on her two knees followed by the prince and the princess no need to note that the knight was no different from the others. "I know that my life is not enough to compensate for the affronts that the third Elder had committed, but understand that, we did not have the slightest power to stop him because from the moment he tried to kill you he had disobeyed my orders and that of the crown and all the royalty. This was the one who made him a fugitive who had to have a death sentence to serve his sentences."

Just as the queen finished her sentence, the royal knight followed up as if he had rehearsed before presenting their plays! "No, please Mr. Dalvine and Mrs. Dylvia. It is I and the Elder who is the only culprit. So I beg to be merciful to royalty and the kingdom and to take my life as compensation." He said, closing his eyes as if he were waiting for the scythe of the Reaper Alvine.

"Sigh, enough! It's a too dramatic scene for my taste. I only kill those who try to kill me. If you want to redeem yourself, you just have to accept the conditions of our previous negotiation. Not to mention that killing you will bring me nothing more than a waste of time. But if in the future, a similar accident occurs with one of your subordinates, then that's when you will know the kind of being we are." Although he pronounced these words nonchalantly while waving his hand, his words sounded like thunder in the eardrums of the natives.

"Thank you for your mercy. I will be grateful to you forever and as long as you are in our kingdom, we will provide you with all the help you need. I swear it on my title as queen." She said urgently, fearing that Alvine would change his mind.

"Very well, that's done now. So I would first like to meet the king to have permission to contemplate the archives to more learn of this planet." He said with a sigh of relief.

"Consider this as done. The palace is one hundred kilometers from the northeast. It will take us about 6 hours before arriving at our destination. Please follow us to the carriage." Proposed the queen in a playful tone.

"More than five hours to travel only a hundred kilometers? And what kind of kingdom would put such a distance between a royal arena and the palace? Ah, I forgot that your magic beasts are quite unique too. That being said, I suggest you travel with us. Since my time is counted on this planet, I don't intend to waste a single second if I can keep it for something else." He said, turning to Sylvia. "Syl *AHEM! * Dylvia, don't you have an arch faster than mine? It would be really disappointing on the part of a transcendent being like you not to have these kinds of things with you." Asked Alvine with exaggeration.

"Tsk, not worth being so einfach, master. I can easily guess your intentions. If you want a means of transport, you just have to ask me." She replied with a boring air before taking out a small golden pearl in her dimensional bag.

While the natives all wore confused expressions, she threw the pearl into the sky.

*Pufff!! *

White smoke covers the entire arena. After five seconds, a giant shadow masked sunlight throughout the arena.

"Eh? Is she trying to invoke a flying beast? It is gigantic!" Exclaimed the prince when he saw the shadow of the ship in the fog of the white smoke.

But just after another five seconds, he found an answer to his own question when she saw the giant ship stand in the sky like the master of heaven.

"Sigh, just by seeing this arch, I can guess its owner. Dylvia, you really don't know how to do things halfway, don't you?" Dryly asked Alvine, impotently looking at the gigantic Ark which is almost double the size of the Ark of Valskar. And the most impressive thing was that the Ark was entirely made of a mysterious metal.

"Fufu~ I should not be underestimated. This ship is made with divine metals. It can only move with the mana crystal of an intermediate-ranking divine beast. So naturally, its speed far exceeds Lady Rina's ship." She said, bulging her chest with a proud air.

"In short, I'm starting to get used to your madness. Let's not waste any more time, let's go." Ordered Alvine by turning to the queen who had a placid expression as if nothing had happened. Seeing their calms out of the ordinary, Alvine frowned and asked in a dubious tone. "Why don't you move?! We don't have much time ahead of us."

"*AHEM* It's not that I want to be indiscreet but how are we supposed to get on board? Only the first Elder has a flying beast. But as for us..." The more she spoke, the more Alvine began to achieve something even more ridiculous!

"Wait, don't tell me you don't know how to fly?!" He asked with disbelief. 'This girl, I'm sure she was making fun of me when she told me it was a Tier 3 planet.'

"Sigh, as you are magical beasts, then you can be able to do things like being able to steal from the sky. But we can't do such things. We don't have wings." She said with a forced smile while looking at Sylvia. Alvine felt like he was treated like an idiot after looking at Sylvia’s actions

Looking at Sylvia next door, in fact, she had already spread her wings. And flew to the Ark without paying attention to Alvine and the others. 'This girl! I never thought she always wanted to play this game with them. Tsk, now I understand why the queen looks at me with this ridiculous air. Sigh, it doesn't matter.' He said to himself by circulating his mana in his body and activated his gravitational affinity and applied it to the natives by supporting them in the areas with his magic. "For the last time, I'm not a magic beast. So stop treating me as such." He said between his teeth clenched on the way to the Ark followed by the queen and her children without forgetting the royal knight who all had stupefy expressions on their faces. "It is this girl who is a magical beast. To be more precise, she is my pet! So don't covet her too much, your highness the royal prince." He said while his lips split into a sarcastic smile.
