King of succubus

Chapter 429  Meeting with Azalea.

Traveling through the infinitely large void where water, oxygen, or other necessity for man's survival hardly exists, Alvine and his two subordinates follow Cindy closely.

Like a young fish in a jar, Cindy traveled thousands of KM with each jump she made.

Contrary to her, Alvine was content to bend space to shorten the path by using her spatial attribute.

Looking behind her, Cindy's face lost its color when she saw that Alvine was assisting his subordinates so as not to leave them behind.

'So I was right, these two are really in the transcendent rank. Why is this guy so arrogant!? Why is he so keen to ignite things when he has to meet entities whose levels exceed all common sense?' Her mind kept trying to understand the reasons which motivates Alvine to be so sneaky.

In doubt and uncertainty, the journey continued in an asphyxiating silence.

--

Still in the black vacuum, only illuminated by the space dust and the sparkling veils of the annihilated ancient civilizations, Cindy stops in front of a black hole; one of the gates of hell, as they tend to call them.

Standing in front of the imposing and jeopardizing the black hole entrance, Alvine takes a look at Sylvia and Linn before smiling slightly.

'It shows that they are nervous. I spent an hour to convince the others; Elena precisely. But what they don't understand is the reason for my decision.

-I'd like to test something fun with these two when I met this Cristalus’ queen. Will her power work on me? Probably, but what about these two? I can't wait to see the face she will make when she realizes it.' His smile became heckling as he articulated these words in his mind.

Focusing on Cindy's back once again, Alvine couldn't help smiling mysteriously.

'Of all the Crostalus I had met, this is the first time I have seen one of them have such a high level; I wonder how great her mistress will be. I would almost like to kill her and turn her into one of my subordinates.

-Having a Crustalus among my collection is so tempting that my heart drools with envy. Anyway, I hope to have the opportunity soon; it's a shame to waste a product of such a rarity...! Let's calm down, it's not the time to let myself be affected by old hobbies.'

He shudders at the idea of becoming a collector again.

Shaking his head, he give up and returned to the present.

During his absence, Cindy had already begun the process of opening the black hole.

The amazement seized Alvine's heart when she saw Cindy manifest her aura with multiple colors that were neither white, red, or gold; but all of them at once.

Other colors manifested themselves through her aura, but the most persistent remained the white color; giving her an esoteric look and a purity rivaling Isolet's.

Runes danced around her as her hands moved at a fast speed, but visible to Alvine.

Then, over seconds, the runes began by interfering with the black hole.

-VRRRR!!!

Simultaneously, a black tunnel forces a passage through the black hole which trembled as if it were aboard the burst.

Aware that this risk was minimal, Alvine remains imperturbable in the face of this anomaly.

Gradually, the black hole and the massive energy it released, stabilize and became pleasant and watery; leaving a slightly illuminated tunnel.

"Could you follow me?" Cindy asks without turning to Alvine.

She then takes her frantic momentum by diving into the tunnel.

As for Alvine, he transforms into his real majestic shape before pursuing Cindy with his two escorts.

--

White! Too bedazzle!!

These were Alvine's thoughts as soon as he appeared on the other side of the tunnel.

In front of him, contrary to his expectations, he saw only a solitary castle floating on a transparent white disc.

'A leviata? She's rich, this castle mistress.' Alvine could not help but mumble these lines in his mind when he saw the luxurious look of the castle, which was full of expensive materials.

Unable to remain indifferent to sight, wonder reels his cold heart. 'I'm glad I didn't bring Elena with me, she will probably want to own this castle.'

He then focuses on Cindy.

But the latter was not yet alone, she was blab with a woman who looked like her like two drops of water.

The resemblance was so striking that Alvine doubted that they were two people.

'Given everything I've experienced recently, I don't like to see twins; I already have my dose with them.'

Shaking his head slightly, he advances towards the two with Sylvie and Linn following him in a dull silence.

"Thank you for responding to our mistress's invitation, please follow me, I will be your guide for the rest." Rendy bows slightly to Alvine and speaks in a more steady voice than Cindy's.

It was not only her voice but even her temperament. She only raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw the two "weak" women who were escorting Alvine.

Seeing Alvine nodding, Rendy soars to the castle, leaving Cindy to care with the tunnel she had created.

Alvine soon noticed the solitude of the castle when he saw the absence of the guards in front of the entrance to the castle.

They then enter the castle through the main doors that were opened by Rendy.

But instead of doing the rest of the journey on the way, Alvine saw a purple spatial portal behind the door.

They followed Rendy through the portal without a hassle.

But this time, Alvine became alarmed as soon as he appeared in a huge living room decorated in white.

The cold woman, with a toxic look, was sitting on a sofa, waiting for him quietly with a cup of tea in her right hand and a white booklet in the other.

Alvine's mistrust was partly caused by the sight of a woman, but the other...

'Heh, there is no doubt, this woman is a pure Crustalus.' He slams his tongue when he saw that his shadow was no longer perceptible under his feet.

It was not only him, but even the decorative objects had no shadow; not to mention Sylvia or Linn.

Azalea and Rendy had no shadows either.

"May we fight true in his holy name? Or be Blessed by his holy light." She mumbles these words by putting down her cup of tea before coldly staring at Alvine as if she expecting something from him.

Smiling fiendishly manner, Alvine walked towards her and took a seat on the sofa in front of Azalea.

While crossing his arms in an authoritarian mood, Alvine's Shadow bursts out of his body, darkening the living room in half.

"May we fight true in my name! Blessed be the darkness." He responds to Azalea's enigmatic words without his smile subsiding on his face.

Azalea's expressionless undulates slightly as she frowned her thin eyebrows.

Standing behind her mistress, like Sylvia and Linn behind Alvine, Rendy frowns when she sees Alvine's aura.

This simple manifestation of force between the two sovereigns made the three henchwomen stunned; but motionless, like sculptures.

"Did you like my gift(Elena)?" Azalea asks after her brief silence.

"I loved it." Alvine acquiesce. "But I would have liked to have received a Pandora's box that contained the object standing behind you." He then continues by taking a brief look at Rendy.

"..." Imperturbable, Azalea took a sip from her cup of tea before sighing slightly.

"If preferable, we want to remain neutral in this war." She mutters in a sober voice, having a trace of sadness in her.

"...Do you think it's possible?"

"It's a shame, but I'm not the decision-maker." She responds with a minty breath that invades Alvine's sensibilities.

Frowning, Alvine shakes his head. "It's sad, I would never have thought that someone of your caliber could be a pawn."

"You are wrong, playing a role and being, are two different things." She contradicts Alvine after hearing his words.

"Let's pass," she puts down her cup of tea and closes her booklet.

"Why did you bring two transcendents to a meeting between supreme?" She then focuses on Linn and Sylv.

"Personal reasons have motivated me; maybe you will know soon, or maybe not, everything will depend on you when the time comes." Alvine's instant answers forced her to believe he had predicted some of her questions.

To prevent this from happening again, she remains silent, kneading twice her thoughts in her mind. “...”

'She said, May we fight true, in 'his' holy name. That explains She's not the leader. In this case, I would like to know who can change a Crustalus into a minion. Luck must be the weapon of the bastard who is this woman's master; I'm a bit jealous of it.' Taking advantage of Azalea's silence, Alvine orders his mind to wander for a while.

"...I see. But I also hope that you will be able to remain indifferent to the consequences." She whispers with the same coldness in her eyes.

"It will depend on the context and the tier of these famous consequences you are talking about." Alvine's eyes had traces of pure madness when he heard Azalea threaten his two subordinates.

She also frowns after hearing Alvine's ungentlemanly words.

Tension ignited between both as they gaze at each other in a stale silence.

But,

"...I'll keep this warning in mind." She gets up from her sofa and nods towards Rendy.

Understanding the meaning of her mistress's gesture, Rendy applauded once, thus manifesting an old door in the living room.

Azalea explains herself, seeing Alvine's conflicting eyes. "Behind this door, are the others who have been waiting for you for a week; Please follow me."

With these last words, she stood in front of the door that had a large emerald green crystal inlaid in the middle, sealing the latter.

"Don't worry, for the smooth running of this council, I have made certain arrangements to abolish anyone using his magical energy. So you will understand why we have to do this meeting in a secure place?" She said before Alvine asked her why.

"Nevermind." Alvine answers in a sober voice before getting near her.

'The arrogance of this ilk reached an excessive.' Rendy mutters in her mind when she sees Alvine's conduct.

It was not only she who thought that the meeting was not going to go smoothly, but all those who were with her, including Alvine.

But contrary to what Rendy thought, Azalea had understood most of Alvine's actions under their true appearances.

'An ungodly man, an abomination and the shadow of the universe; as described by his nicknames. He brought these two weak subordinates with him, sworn by his name, and threatened me with death if I attacked his two escorts.

-All his actions are probably aimed at a well-hidden goal that I can't dig up. This individual is as dangerous as the arrogant bastards behind these doors. Let's hope that my ancestors make this meeting easier for me to continue.' She takes a quick look at Alvine before focusing on the door after putting her mind in order.

She then approaches the door, letting her right palm lay over the crystal and her other free palm on the emerald crystal ingrain in her chest.

-CRRRRRiiiiCKK!!

The two doors open in a shrill and metallic noise.
