My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness

〈 Succubus (2) 〉

In an instant, the surrounding air changed completely.

“…….”

“…huh.”

A heavy air current that makes you feel like you shouldn’t open your mouth carelessly.

But even so, the suction power that continues to grab attention.

gulp.

Even while the people at the scene swallowed their dry saliva without realizing it, the being did not stop walking.

It seems like a light step, but it is a step full of spirit, as if taking space with each step.

The strangely tense atmosphere disappeared only after she reached the person who held the highest position in the room.

By that bright smile on his face.

“Hehe, it’s nice to meet you like this. My name is Hela. “Please take care of me in the future?”

All he did was smile and say a few words.

However, that image was bound to be deeply imprinted in the minds of those present with a different meaning than before.

…No, actually, the engraving on my chest was bigger than my head.

‘It’s literally demonic.’

Dream Walker’s godmother, with one hand on her heart, let out a soft exclamation in her mind.

As much as I pride myself on being the best in this area, thanks to my tolerance, my heart doesn’t flinch from even the slightest temptation, and my stomach is beating faster than usual.

If you are like this, how can other people be like this?

“Oh hoho nice to meet you. My name is Liliana and I am currently leading the Dream Workers. “I would like to express my sincere gratitude for coming to this far away place despite the inconvenience.”

However, she calmly accepted what the other person said without showing it outwardly.

In contrast to the other person, who consistently speaks informally from the beginning, she shows an old-fashioned attitude as if she were a noble lady.

“But this doesn’t seem like an appropriate place to talk. Shall we go inside first? “We have prepared delicious refreshments to welcome our precious guests.”

Then he looked around the still messy surroundings and led Hella inside.

This is an important facility that is essentially the core of troop transport.

It was a place where you had to always be on edge, not a place where you could be preoccupied with other things like you are now.

‘Anyway…’

As she moved away, she glanced at Hela, who was saying goodbye to Sianna again.

She had already reached the level of transcendence and was able to read a lot of information with just that.

The other person’s stride and the weight placed on it, the breathing cycle, facial expression changes when speaking deeply, eye movements, habits and gestures that even the person himself was not aware of.

After combining all the factors, there was one conclusion.

‘…After all, it can’t be LeRae.’

That it was my own mistake.

There was no need to go into detail.

From the beginning, he was different from the Demon King he knew in many ways, from his appearance to his body type to the nature of his magical powers.

‘But it looks similar.’

Even she couldn’t deny that.

Above all, wasn’t the name the first thing that jumped out at you when you first saw it?

Although she couldn’t pinpoint what it was, the strange atmosphere surrounding the other person was surprisingly similar to that of the monarch Liliana admired a long time ago.

‘And those eyes and horns too. Are you sure. This is Leraye’s….’

Her eyes turned to Hela’s face.

It has red eyes on a black background and slightly curved, tall black horns.

Even if everything else is the same, no matter how you look at it, isn’t it a symbol of the former Demon King?

While the godmother was lost in thought, her eyes suddenly met directly with the mysterious eye of the station.

It was a small mistake of not being able to properly adjust my gaze due to the complicated thoughts running through my head.

“Hehe, it looks like there’s a lot you want to ask?”

An expression that says he knows what he’s trying to say.

But Hela didn’t say anything more about him.

He simply opened the door to the living room he had just arrived in first, extended one arm toward the inside, and smiled.

“Conversation is the most efficient means of communication to understand each other. “It looks like there isn’t much time left, so let’s not waste time and get straight to the point.”

Then, I casually walked inside.

As if he were the owner of this place.

***

‘Is this the home of the Dream Walkers? It truly is a prestigious family that produced the previous Demon Lords. It’s on a different level from the other people I’ve encountered so far.’

Hela let out an inner exclamation and nodded slightly.

Although she didn’t show it on the outside, she was very satisfied with the current situation.

‘This will be quite helpful to my work. Since I am a latecomer, the stronger the foundation, the better.’

The stronger the influence that can be exerted on the demon world, the faster the expansion of power due to one’s abilities.

If Dream Walker helps with the ongoing work, we will be able to build a powerful force in the near future.

In addition, isn’t the succubus godmother named Liliana the best talent we’ve ever seen in the demon world?

‘It must be taken into account that the power of the demons is further amplified within the demon world… If the marquis level is this strong, how strong is the duke level?’

Of course, even in his current state, he was confident that he could deal with them one-on-one, but considering that his forces would also intervene, it was still too early to engage in a proper confrontation.

What you need for that is to take Dream Walker completely under your control.

‘Perhaps because they have a strong resistance to charm, it seems that it will be difficult to force them into submission as before.’

Of course, there was no need for them to do that.

He was already in a relationship that was stronger than anything else.

Hela, Liliana, and Syana sat across from each other in the living room.

The story progressed quickly as it was not the time for either side to relax.

Starting from public matters to somewhat personal ones.

“…What does ‘well’ mean?”

While the conversation was going on like that, Liliana frowned as if she was dumbfounded.

It was obvious that he was frustrated because he didn’t get a clear answer to the question he really wanted to hear.

But Hela just lightly shrugged her shoulders.

“Of course it has something to do with the Sentai Demon Lord, right? Because a being like me would not have arisen naturally. But in fact, I have only recently become conscious, and this is my first time in the demon world…”

When asked about his birth, he simply remained ignorant.

How can I reveal everything honestly in this situation?

That he was one of many avatars created using the remains of the previous Demon King as a medium.

At the same time, he avoided giving a definite answer by spinning his words around and did not lie at all.

For a devil of that level, it would be easy to see through the lies contained in the words.

‘I don’t know if that will work for me, but it’s still better to be as careful as possible.’

Although it was recently fully adapted, Hela was a fledgling individual that had only recently been born.

It is natural to prepare for emergencies.

Moreover, if you leave room for all possibilities with such an ambiguous attitude…

“…Could it be that something was arranged in advance? In preparation for after they die…? Well, it also has the essence of a queen. “Maybe if it’s really just those two…”

I’ll create a scenario that matches the context so that you can understand it.

There was no need to worry about it.

“Now that I think about it, I’m curious too? What is Godmother Liliana’s relationship with the 14th Demon Lord and the Succubus Queen? “From what you’re saying, it seems like we know each other well.”

The godmother’s body, which had been pondering as she frowned at the question asked lightly by Hela, came to a halt.

Silence flowing for a moment.

But soon he opened his mouth casually, as if he had never done anything like that.

While looking at Hella with a strange look.

“…They are my biological sisters and mother.”

Those words were followed by a quiet explanation.

It’s like telling an old story to an ex-family member or confessing a past family history to a nephew you haven’t seen in a long time.

Leraye and Liliana had the same succubus queen as their mother.

Among them, Leraye was a very special being.

Unlike Liliana, who was born as an ordinary succubus, her father’s genes were expressed excessively, and she was born as a mutant called ‘succubus hybrid’.

Originally, for the succubus race, the male body was just food and an object of exploitation, so it was generally impossible, but considering the power of the person who would become the father, it was not completely impossible.

Because he was the 13th Demon King, the strongest of his time.

‘My father is the 13th Demon King and my mother is a Succubus Queen.’

It was a greater lineage than I thought.

Well, he must have been able to rise to the position of devil king in the devil world where all kinds of vicious monsters run rampant.

“Now, the eyes and horns you inherited were also features passed down to you by the 13th Demon King. I didn’t really like it because I thought it was too splashy. “I didn’t even know how much other kids, including me, were jealous of him.”

Liliana sighed and played with her horn, which was about a span long.

The same goes for Siana, who sits quietly next to him.

And her story, briefly summarized, soon led to the invasion of the continent by the 14th Demon King Leraye and his executive, Queen.

Thanks to Queen, who not only produced the Demon King but also grew to the level of a duke through her relationship with the previous Demon King, the Dream Walker Territory enjoyed great prosperity, but they could not just remain complacent with reality.

They had a desire to escape this barren land and plunder its abundant resources, but rather, they had one mission that they had to fulfill.

“…is this the devil’s will?”

“They say it is a duty handed down from the time the first Demon King was born. Well, actually, it wouldn’t have changed even if that hadn’t happened. To them, that fertile land was like a well-prepared table.”

Invading the continent at regular intervals to break the spirit of humans, as well as taking some kind of action there.

The moment she heard those words, a hypothesis flashed through Hella’s mind.

‘The demon god was periodically interfering with the resurrection of the human god!’

I don’t know why a demon god who was isolated in the demon world, which is difficult to come and go, and not another god, took on such a role.

Maybe it’s just because the two of you don’t have a good relationship, or maybe it’s because of a rule you don’t know yet.

What is important is that this consciousness has appeared in the form of an invasion of the continent.

That was the last time the 14th Demon King was cut off.

In the end, the arrangements of the human gods, including the Immortal King, began to open their eyes one by one.

‘Wow… this guy really has great tenacity. Even though you were thrown into the abyss, you didn’t give up for more than a thousand years and kept trying, and eventually you succeeded?’

At the same time, he even takes revenge by counterattacking the demon who had been interfering with him all along.

It was impossible to even guess how great the power it must have had before it was sealed in the abyss.

Well, the Lord, who usually doesn’t step forward, may have had a hand in it.

“My mother volunteered to accompany Leraye to help him. “I was so desperate to keep the other dukes in check.”

The power of fascination possessed by the 14th Demon King was very threatening.

If she had had a little more time, she could have defeated all the high-ranking demons and achieved absolute power.

Of course, that was already in the past, and as a result, not only Demon King Leraye but also the Succubus Queen were killed during the invasion of the continent.

I didn’t know what happened in the process, or whether it was the work of other dukes or human gods…

“…but it seems like we have another chance.”

Liliana’s voice, which continued quietly as if telling a fairy tale, began to fill with a strange warmth.

A fire like never before was burning in her eyes.

“I acknowledge you as my sister and the daughter of the 14th Demon Lord Leraye. Even if he didn’t give birth to her directly, his strength and will seem to have been properly inherited.”

Then he slowly stood up and tapped the side of the table in the center.

With that light gesture, the heavy table with the refreshments on it was pushed all the way to the wall, but no one here paid attention to it.

“I, Dream Walker’s godmother, Liliana and—.”

“—His daughter Sianna.”

Siana, who had been quiet so far, opened her mouth after Liliana.

Without any time to react to the fact that she was the godmother’s daughter, the two people standing side by side slowly knelt in front of Hela.

““I pledge my loyalty to Hela.””

The language resonated, and waves of magical energy flowed heavily.

At the same time, a double contract was made not only with Liliana but also with Syanna, a descendant of the Immortal King.

Perhaps, as a demon of the demon world, being under the command of a higher class is treated separately from contracts made outside of it.

“We only want one thing.”

At that time, Liliana, with her forehead on the floor, spoke in a passionate voice.

Although they recognized Hela as their niece, their polite tone did not show any disturbance, as if they would prioritize honoring her as a monarch who would fulfill their wishes rather than such a personal relationship.

“—After exterminating all those ugly peacocks, Hela will rise to the top of the demon world!”

Her eyes met Hela’s as she raised her head from her prone position.

Eyes burning with anger and revenge that cannot be hidden even by a tired face.

A soft smile appeared on Hela’s lips as she quietly looked at it.

Of course, the answer to that was already decided.

***

“…this this.”

Ken Miyamoto swallowed dry saliva.

[Grrr! Crouch!]

[Ahh…! This refreshing blood! more! Give me more!]

Strange beings that could not be considered normal living creatures wriggled before his eyes.

Eyes, nose, mouth, and even limbs and head.

They were pure white monsters with different positions and numbers, as if a child had roughly assembled the parts, and an instinctive feeling of rejection arose the moment you saw them.

“Hmm, I guess you were surprised.”

“Yes, a little…”

The owner of the benevolent voice slowly approached from behind Ken.

Then, he patted his shoulder a few times and looked at the view ahead with happy eyes.

“What do you think? Isn’t it cool?”

A sticky desire that cannot be hidden even by the packaging of kindness.

Before Ken could reply, the owner of the voice spoke again.

“These are the ones who will lead us to victory—.”

His abyss-like eyes, which do not let in even a single ray of light, are bent like a crescent moon.

“Soldiers of God.”
