King of succubus

"Are you sure you can hold on until I finish my practice?"

"Sigh, do you already know what brings me here?" Liliana asked, slightly surprised by Alvine's insight who seemed to have guessed what she wanted just after a few exchanges with her.

Alvine had a fine smile when he heard her words and saw her surprise. "Anyone will have guessed your intentions when you look at me with so much lust in your eyes. I wouldn't be an idiot who will think you just want to give me a little kiss. In short, are you sure you can hold out until I finish my practice? I don't want you to jump on me while I lower my guard." He said nonchalantly while unbuttoning the sleeve of his shirt.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm still the queen of vampires and a noble vampire what's more!" She replied when she saw Alvine's sufficient smile who had obviously underestimated her.

"Ho? So no problem, you will just have to wait for me to finish testing some of the theories I had just learned." But just as he finished his sentence, Sylvia's voice resounded in his head by telepathy.

*Master, I know you don't want to be disturbed unless it's urgent; then I'm going to be brief. Can you look behind the border? Specifically, two hundred kilometers from the forest to the north? * She asked Alvine with this strange request.

*Very good. * He didn't drag things any longer.

"Liliana, can you give me a minute of silence, it seems that magical beasts are starting to make movements; North of the border. You can take a look at it while you're there." He ordered by closing his eyes without waiting for Liliana's answer. Nor did he have to worry about Liliana trying something suspicious with him while he lowered his guard with her.

Just as he closed his eyes, his spiritual power extended his perception like a muddy pond that traveled tens of kilometers at the same time and continued so until he traveled to a fixed area, dictated by Sylvia. As he did not need to check all around him with his perception, but a fixed place that was indicated by his maid, he had no trouble finding the place in question.

Just after about thirty seconds, his perception was located on the beasts advancing towards the border. He himself could not believe what he could see with his perception. A colossal army of magical beasts extended as far as the eye can see, swarms of bees leaving their nests to settle elsewhere!

'There are more than a million! How huge could this forest be? Worse still, I can see magic beasts that are at least ten times more powerful than the previous Wyvern! But I still can't see the energy the phenomenal energy of Garyth's apostle who had given me chills.' He stammered these words while spying on magical beasts with his magical perception.

After a minute spent, he opened his eyes with complex expressions.

'Should I once again cast my universal law to annihilate them? No, it's a bad idea. The damage the planet had suffered during my shadow soldier's attack previous one is very important to it, if I use the same spell, the planet's core could be unearthed and absorbed by the black hole. If this ever happens, the planet would certainly risk disintegrating itself.' He concludes by abandoning his idea.

The previous spell that the shadow mage had left behind a huge crater that was at least two hundred kilometers deep. A planet without its cores, which is considered its vitality, will be dead. All the lives she had created will probably have entered with it if they are on the planet. As a result, the Kelspies, ice elves, magic beasts, plants, and the energy of the planet itself will be destroyed to nothingness

Even if Alvine did not have to worry about them, His thoughtless action will surely cause the failure of their missions; Since Garyth will have confirmation that his planet was invaded by Punishers.

"Liliana, how long will it take to mobilize all the troops of the alliance?" He asked after briefly analyzing the situation.

"I would say... at least one day. My subordinates are all present here but, regarding the Ice Elves and the Kelspies, they left half of their men in their kingdoms to protect their kingdoms." She notified him after understanding the imminent danger that was heading straight toward them.

"It's too long! These beasts will be on our doorstep for a maximum of twelve hours of time. But if they ever decide to leave behind their weak companions of holy ranks, they will reach the border in less than six hours." Alvine calmly pronounced these words while analyzing the situation and trying to find a solution.

But no matter how he sees things from several angles, the alliance will have no chance of winning the battle against this huge horde. Apart from Sylvia, who was their master cards, it was only Liliana and the three advisers who can face this horde; provided that the divine beasts misjudge them and do not join the battle from the beginning.

But I fear that this strategy will be invalid with this horde. Given their races, I can instantly guess that they no longer want to play with their enemies. It's as if they had been ordered to end this battle as soon as possible. Or maybe... it's because of the giant hole whose origin they didn't know? Or, it must be because of my strategy that was intended to destabilize them by killing all the beasts that prowled the close of the old battlefield? In short, the most important thing, for now, is to find a valid strategy that allows us to divide this horde into several groups to better welcome them.' The reason he wanted to discover the cause of their agitation was due to a single factor.

Namely, if this horde is only a diversion that allows Garyth to ambush their tenders, or if it was the result of his strategy. He had stationed the shadow soldier who used his scythe’s skills a hundred kilometers from the border to annihilate all the beasts that will approach the border to destabilize his enemies and push them to show their master cards. But seeing such a horde that exceeded its expectations, and that was not led by the apostle, probably meant that the apostle had not yet taken things in hand; otherwise, he would be the magic beast that will lead this army!

"I know, but the elite armies of the Ice Elves and the Kelspies are only slightly more powerful than the emperor-ranking magic beasts. As for their ordinary soldiers, they are weaker than holy-ranking beasts; I don't think they will be of great use to us!" She firmly affirmed him.

Unlike other planets, this planet has blessed magic beasts more than other native races. Magic power, brute force, and other decisive factors for combat are only given to magic beasts. Ice Elves have received only two advantages apart from their intellects, ice powers and hand-to-hand agility. The Same goes for the Kelspies who are physically weak but have their beasts contracted to compensate for this weakness and their spiritual powers.

They are visibly the most disadvantaged and are not able to stand up to beasts with the same rank of culture as them.

He nodded his head while accepting her suppositions. "I understand what you mean by that. But the battle is not only a matter of brute force and magical power. With good strategies, even dozens of mortals will be able to triumph over a divine mage if they prepare well before the arrival of the enemy." He said in an impassive tone when he got up from bed while his hands are crossed.

"We're not going to welcome them like last time. We will use all the natural and artificial resources that are at our disposal. First, we will install different traps on their paths; to see that we know their destinations. Then, we will somehow disperse them so as not to be overwhelmed by the horde. We will talk about it in more detail, but the most urgent thing is to bring all the other soldiers to stay behind you. This is the only solution to put this plan into practice." He firmly announced it without the slightest doubt in his golden eyes.

Hearing her proposal, and seeing her concerns, Liliana sent her theory. "The only solution would be to open a teleportation portal by connecting the two kingdoms to ours. Can't you cast the same dimensional spell you last did? I think that will solve the problem." She offered him this idea.

As she was one of the few people to know the true abnormal power of Alvine who was only a simple mage of holy rank, but who was able to perform miracles that are not even achievable by most divine mages. She could not understand how Alvine could care about maintaining a dimensional portal for a maximum of thirty minutes so that Allied soldiers could reach them when he had been able to create and maintain in place a dimensional portal that an intermediate divine mage could not even imagine creating one!

Alvine sighed when he heard her suggestion. "I've already thought about it, but the problem is that I'm too weak to do such things!" Alvine replied by shaking her hand nonchalantly.

"Weak?" Liliana asked with a bitter smile.

Alvine, for his part, did not want to go into too much detail by explaining to her that he needed to save his dark energy to better conserve his strength. Given that his system had blocked his other affinities and that he had just used his clone, he, therefore, did not yet have enough information about whether his skill needed a cooldown or not.

"But don't worry about that, Sylvia will open two portals to both kingdoms." He reassured her while heading to the luxurious table next to his bed.

'She said she was able to use rare affinities, which means that she will probably be able to use space affinity, right?' He said to himself by picking up the wine glass that was next to a bottle of wine on the table.

Liliana, who thought he was still going to start enjoying a glass of wine, suddenly saw Alvine hand him the empty glass. "What do I do with that?" She asked curiously after taking the glass tense by Alvine.

A small knife appeared in Alvine's hand as he folded the sleeve of his shirt that he had previously unbuttoned and announced: "You need to regain strength. The battle we are about to fight will probably be twenty times more devastating than anything we have fought so far. We will probably lose half of our allied troops, but we will certainly triumph." He said by making a small gash on his wrist while he left his blood poured into the glass held by Liliana.

Once the glass was half full, Alvine's wound healed on its own, therefore, his blood stopped flowing into the glass. "Tsk, this passive skill can be annoying, sometimes." He said by making another nonchalant gash as if he were cutting the pulpit of another.

"Sigh, if you let me drink directly from the source, it will save us unnecessary time and pain." Liliana offered him this solution with a sublime smile.

"Heh, but if I do that, I can't know how long I will survive it with the number of liters you may suck me up." He declined by placing his finger on his wound to prevent himself from losing more blood. But his action was as instinctive as it was futile since his hand had already begun to heal.

Glug, Glug, Glug...

A glass of wine filled with red blood was half ingested by Liliana without interruption in front of Alvine who watched the scene without blinking. "How thirsty were you? No longer try to hold back your famine in the future. This can be dangerous for us." He says, imagining the horrors he had learned about vampires who lose their spirits when they are at their limits.

"*Kahhhhhh~! * I feel revived." She moans erratically while her scarlet eyes became more and more bloodthirsty red. Alvine who stood in front of her and watched the scene carefully could see something unbelieving happen with Liliana's aura that increased every second.

"Do vampires have this ability to increase their vitality just by drinking blood?" He asked with a slight surprise.

Liliana had a beautiful smile as she looked euphorically at the bright red blood in her glass that she shook slightly as if she wanted to bring out the different flavors. "In your opinion, why did I want to make you my subordinate from the first day? It's because like the first time when I tasted your blood, it had the same effect of boosting my vampiric powers. And this boost seems to be permanent!" She said while keeping her charming smile while she was sitting in the middle of the bed.

'Sigh, I guess it's because of Sabrina who said that her blood was special for vampires. Now, if I'm in this situation, it's probably because of the side effects of making me drink her golden blood. I wonder if all primordial beings have golden blood in their veins?' He nonchalantly came to this conclusion without feeling anything extraordinary with this new information that adds to the other endless lists. But the most extraordinary among these kinds of skills he possesses always remains the skill that allows him to share his mana with his allies if he wishes.

"In short, call the two kings and their generals, we must without further delay put in place a strategy to prevent this scourge from taking us with it!" He ordered Liliana before going out into the room.
