King of succubus

Three days later,

"Grimor, do you see what I see?" Asked Barthod in a doubtful tone.

"I am not blind Barthod! It is an artificial lake. A mortal can never do such damage! Even I would have exhausted fifty percent of my divine mana to be able to cause such damage." Grimor replied with a frown.

The two had just visited Alvine Castle to see If there were survivors. Like Alvine, they had the same concern. That is, two separate enemies. Namely, the Alvine camp and the Valskars camps.

"I don't expect one of the Valskars leaders to travel in-person to conquer such an insignificant planet." Concludes Grimor just by seeing the damage of the battle of Alvine against the Valskars.

"Indeed, I believe that their leader was personally moved to annihilate our target and its entire castle. Now that our mission is accomplished, we only have to find Princess Emilia and return to the kingdom." Barthod said while looking at the gigantic lake of two kilometers in circles.

Hearing his comrade's words, Grimor stared at him with hostility. "Barthod, our Highness did not give us a predetermined period of time. Just like me, you must also have noticed that this planet is not as simple as it seems. I bet there are treasures that even we can't do without them. Aren't you curious to exploit this planet? With this philosopher's stone in our possession, we have nothing to fear from our enemies. I am sure our lord will be happy if we bring him good things. I'm even willing to bet that he will promote us! So I ask you a second time, Barthod, do you want to waste this opportunity that can make you one of the generous supremes?!" Announced Grimor with a diabolical smile while licking his lips like a predator who was about to hunt his prey.

As for Barthod, when he heard Grimor's proposal, his eyes widened with certainty for a second before he regained his original calm. "Sigh, Grimor, you are still as vicious as usual. However, your idea is not that bad. But I think you didn't notice anything. I don't feel any divine energy emanating from this artificial lake. If it was really created by divine law or by a being at divine rank, there will always be a trace of its magic. Don't you think something is wrong with that? Not to mention that I can feel the pure energy of the heavens. It's like the energy of divine punishment but weaker." As he spoke these words, he approached the lake and applied his gravitational magic to a reasonable amount of water that immediately floated towards him. His crimson red pupils shone in the same red glow as he analyzed the sample he had just recovered from the lake.

"Kakaka, you are wrong, my friend. Dint of being too careful, blatant things will eventually escape you. On the contrary, this is good news for us." As Grimor spoke these words, he burst out laughing with indescribable joy.

"What do you mean by that?" Calm and cold, so was Barthod's personality.

"Think a little, you know just like me that apart from a divine mage, no emperor mage can cause such damage to the ecosystem, right? And even for a divine magus, he needs at least uses his divine mana to do such damage, do you agree with me?" Asked Grimor with a mischievous smile while he flew over the lake enthusiastically as if he had unraveled the secret behind the mystery of this lake.

"Stop playing this game with me and go straight to the point!" Barthod replied, grinding his teeth with frustration.

"Sigh, you're really boring. In short, as you know once divine energy with certain purity is detected in mortal planets, the heavens intervene directly by trying to drive out the divinity that has no place on the planet in question." He took a break to let Barthod analyze his words in depth.

After a few seconds, Barthod nodded in agreement. "Indeed, everything can be explained now. As the Valskar of divine rank does not have the philosopher's stone as us, his powers will be sealed until he leaves this planet. But seeing this gigantic crater and such a quantity of water, I suppose he had used his divine energy to defeat his opponent once and for all. But after breaking the pact between mortals and divinities, divine punishment will not necessarily spare it. As a result, after defeating his enemies, he had received divine punishment." Barthod concludes the remains of Grimor's hypothesis, who nodded with satisfaction.

"Exactly~. In conclusion, we will have no problem getting rid of these Valskars. We can even bring the divine Valskar with us as our prisoner in order to increase our influence with our lord." He screamed his words with a joy that he could not hide.

"Hm, but we still have no guarantee that we can capture it alive. Even if it has no philosopher's stone in its possession, it will still be able to escape with divine techniques. How can we prevent it?!" Barthod briefly asked.

"Sigh, My dear friend, the answer is simple, isn't it? Do you believe that a divine being who is not able to get rid of a vulgar mortal without using his divine energy will be able to escape us?! Hehe, I shudder with excitement just thinking about the gains we are going to collect because of this simple mission. We must sincerely thank the princess when the time comes." Concludes Grimor by being overexcited. "Speaking of the princess, she still hasn't left the forest?" He asked in passing.

When he heard Grimor's question, he took out a diskette in his storage ring. Then, the black diskette began to shine, and soon, it showed images where Emilia was sitting on a strange throne with a flowering crown placed on her head and surrounded by a hundred women with tanned skins who prostrated themselves before her.

"No, after meeting the Amazons who adore her as their goddesses because of her contracted beast which is the wyvern of divine rank, I think she has somewhat forgotten her goal. She has been with them for more than a month. Maybe one day she will get tired of them, and get out of the forest in question. It is at this time that we will welcome our Highness. According to what you say?"

"Believe me, with her contracted beast that permanently protects her, she has nothing to fear on this planet. Just like me, you know how difficult it is to manage her. If we take her next to us, we will no longer have time to do our business properly. In short, let's go home. We have things to prepare." he fulminated with a mocking smile.

Looking at him from behind, Barthod shook his head with a thoughtful air. "Sigh, with his vicious spirit, he will be a good strategist in the future. Only an overwhelming power can manage to face these kinds of people who are always one step ahead of their enemies. Even though I am the strongest of the two of us, and I have always won against him during our training, I am not sure of my victory when it comes to a fight to the death against him. Sigh, fortunately, he is my ally, and he has unwavering fear and loyalty to our lord. As a result, I have nothing to fear in front of him." He said in his thoughts taking a last look at the artificial lake before disappearing into the void.

...

After three minutes, a crimson portal opened above the lake, and Alvine and Sabrina went out into the gate. "Master, as you had planned, they bit the hook. I am always stunned by your plan. I never thought they would fall into such a stupid trap." Compliments Sabrina looking at the artificial lake with absent air.

"Um, it's nothing surprising. According to intelligent people, there is nothing easier than manipulating idiots. But in my opinion, people who are proud of their intelligence are the easiest to manipulate. You just have to know how to do it. Especially with their arrogances, he sees mortals as ants. So if everything goes as planned, they won't take care of Cheera and the fairy queen for now. Because they think they won't be a problem. Instead, they will try to take advantage of the current situation of divine Valskar who is injured at the moment to take her by surprise to attack him. Hehe, I can't wait to see this show." He said nonchalantly. "But out of caution, we must secure our back and give a valid reason to the divine Valskar to prepare for the war against them."

Sabrina nodded as she nodded. "Indeed, and that's where Nelda will intervene in your plan, isn't it? I am surprised to see you take such measures and sacrifice her for the success of this mission." She said with a charming smile. She had no sense of guilt towards Nelda. On the contrary, she was satisfied with her master's ruthlessness.

But to her surprise, Alvine shook her head with disagreement. "This girl is now one of us. At least as long as she has my seal of enslavement on her. I don't intend to sacrifice her. Now that she has reached the rank of empress after a little help from me, she is now as strong as Yuer, or even more powerful than her. I am sure she will be a decisive asset in the battles to come. But for now, take care of the other paperwork before the beautiful show. Even if she was the weakest than anyone, you can't imagine the hell she had experienced for hundreds of years." He said by crossing his hands behind his back and analyzing the energy residues that Grimor and Barthod left behind.

"But on the other hand, divine Mages are really on an unimaginable level. Just looking at them in the dimensional flaw, I can conclude that we will have no chance against them. They are strong beyond my imagination. We can't afford to make the slightest mistake!" He said with a frown.

"..." Sabrina was silent when she heard Alvine's words. Like him, she also had a frown.

"In short, let's go home, we have nothing more to do here." He said, tearing the void with his finger that created another dimensional flaw and entered the interior followed by Sabrina who was always immersed in his perplexed thoughts.

'Seeing him use spatial affinity with ease, I am sure he will soon reach another level. His progress is unimaginable. I think it's time to tell him the truth.' Did she decide when she entered the flaw before it closed as if nothing had happened?
