King of succubus

Before he even looked closely, he noticed the three silhouettes speeding in his direction at lightning speed.

But as he was in the sky and the three silhouettes, including the two strangers who seemed to be their leaders, were running on the mainland, Vandel, who was always calm, did not lose his cold blood except for his frown that was accentuated.

'Even if they don't give the impression, I feel these three have already spotted me. Hmm, what to do? If I withdraw like this, then my intelligence mission will be useless. Sigh, as Lady Sylvia had ordered this old man, to be discreet is the number one priority. But if they, unfortunately, spotted me despite my camouflage skill, then I would have no choice but to retreat as Lady Sylvia had ordered.' While putting his thoughts in order, he slowly caressed the wrist of his sword with hesitation.

Just as he had done with the strange creatures that had overtaken him, Vandel also wanted to test the power and level of threat that these foreigners could represent for his city. But in the end, he abandoned his curiosity after remembering Sylvia's warnings.

"Sigh, flee from an enemy to a more bitter taste than I thought. But I am obliged to comply with Lady Sylvia's orders. In the absence of the--??

But the moment he thought the three foreigners were going to attack him, they passed under him and continued their races toward Vandel's opposite direction, leaving him with perplexed eyes.

'Hmm, so if it's not me they would pursue, then why this sudden agitation? Have they located the army corps that follow me from afar?' He then whispered these words while extending his perception to kilometers around him.

But the next moment, instead of sighing, Vandel's frown increased after noticing the targets of the three strangers.

One kilometer from him, two young women sprinted in his direction while talking casually with each other.

"HEM... Marian, you're sure it's a good idea to go out quietly for--

"What are you still talking about? That's an opportunity for you to get your license in the second neighborhood. You still don't think about deflating yourself after we've gone all this way, do you?!"

These two female duets were none other than Marian, the vampire girl who threatened her friend to abandon her if she did not achieve her government mission when Alvine visited the kingdom with Assi.

As for the second woman, she was none other than her human friend, Evelyne, who had just reached the intermediate rank.

"If we can find more information about these enemies who came out of nowhere, then residing in the second zone will only be child's play for us. So stop complaining; it's secret information I heard by chance between the discussions of the nobles who visited the lower area!" Marian continued with sparkling eyes.

"... I know, but didn't you also say that these enemies exterminated an entire squad?! We are not even adventurers or mercenaries! You think that simple citizens like us can do such-- Kyaah!!"

Before Evelyne finished her sentence, Marian grabbed her arm and pulled her behind a thick tree to hide after noticing the presence of the three silhouettes running toward them.

*Chuut! I think we have company. Stay close to me; they will not be able to locate us as long as we remain hidden behind this tree with our compressed energy in us.* She immediately murmured while using her camouflage skill with cold sweat pearls.

Just seeing their strange appearances and their breathtaking speed, Marian was able to conclude that they would have no chance of defeating these mysterious creatures.

'But since it wasn't our goal, it's not important. Let's hope they don't find us. Otherwise, even escaping would be a problem.' She said to herself with a frown.

But at this moment, one of the strangers in a monk's dress points his finger at the tree and orders something to the only subordinate who accompanied them.

At the same time, Marian and Evelyne felt imminent danger when they saw the stranger's speed explode toward them!

"Tsk! These bastards had already spotted us from the beginning! That's why they came to us!" While retorting these words out loud, Marian used a magic shield around Evelyne and then went out behind the tree to face the enemy.

[Spirits' residences!]

She then toned by trampling the earth.

-Cruuck-Gruuuu!!

Instantly, an earthquake collapsed all the trees around her after she cast her spell. But the next moment, scarlet and thick brambles emerged under her feet and booed towards the mysterious naked-chest creature who always had a mischievous smile on its lips.

"Sigh, I'm afraid this old man can no longer respect Lady Sylvia's order." At the same time, Vandel, who was also following the three strangers from the sky, whispers his words with calm eyes.

But his rage was so intense to see his two wives disobeying curfew orders to put themselves in such danger that his aura unconsciously escaped into his body. The worst for him was to see that Marian was the origin of this disobedience. As a vampire, she naturally knew the discipline that their superiors taught them.

Thus, Vandel could not tolerate seeing such indiscipline committed by a vampire.

But he didn't make impulsive to reveal his presence. It only was when he saw Marian's ineffective attacks on her target, who was a hundred meters away from her with a strange sword, which had a dark and mysteriously threatening hallo, that Vandel had no choice but to act accordingly!

"Attention!!" Evelyne shouted in an alarmed tone when she saw Marian frozen with surprise after seeing her attack causing no harm to the enemy.

But despite her warning, Marian could not get out of her dizziness; that was not natural as Evelyne believed, but a powerful spell of mental inertia that was the work of his opponent.

-Clang!

Instantly, Vandel stopped the stranger's vicious attack before his sword reached Marian's neck.

'?! We are almost equal!' He concludes immediately, as soon as he is sword meets the foreigner's dark blade.

He then kicked the size of the strange creature, forcing him to move away from him.

(Oh~? There were other strange creatures than these two? Kukuku, it's interesting! Unlike others who like to make circuses with big and weak explosions, this insect has some importance! That's a good thing.) He murmured while licking his sword's blade.

Hearing the strange creature address him in an unknown language, Vandel watched the other two, who were in monk's dresses. But instantly, he understood their intentions from the start when he noticed their demonic smiles instead of surprise.

'It was a trap to find me, Huh?' He murmured as he looked at the others (with his magical perception), who remained in front of the ghost town, running in their direction at full speed.

'Sigh, getting out of here will not be a problem, but these two young people will die if I leave. I--

"L-lord Vandel?! It's, it's...

Before he ends his words, Marian, who has just woken up in her blank mood, stammered without being able to explain himself. Anyone could guess that seeing Vandel in front of her seemed more intimidating than facing her creatures.

"Go back to the kingdom! I will take care of your sentence when I return!" He thundered heavily in their saving a look.

"Lord Vandel, what about you?!" She asked nervously.

"If you stay here for a second longer, I'll kill you myself!"

She gulped instantly after hearing Vandel's warning. At the same time, she obediently appeared next to her friend, and the two disappeared in front of them without being pursued by foreigners.

Seeing their indifference to the departures of Marian and Evelyne, Vandel confirmed his doubts.

"Well, since it's me you want, bring yourself back!" He then spoke coldly in his knight pose with his garnet eyes while stealthily tapping the little recording crystal on his white gloves.

Now,

"I would make sure that these sons of bitches live forever in perpetual suffering for billions of years!" While pronouncing these words, Alvine's body gradually became transparent as he sprinted to the battlefield four kilometers from him.

-Reform the ranks! These bastards have strong resistance against magic, but they are not vulnerable! Don't hold back! Using all your laws and domains to their full powers is the only way to kill them!"

As Alvine approached the battlefield, he finally noticed that the situation of his subordinates was not as desperate as he had imagined. Still, better yet, they even managed to adapt the formation of 'bees' against their enemies, which consists of taking advantage of their numerical superiority to overcome their lack of powers against an enemy stronger than them.

But despite everything, their powers were far inferior to those of foreigners who had no problems managing two or even three mages simultaneously with their extraordinary forces and, above all, because of a factor more strange than the others.

They had no mana or eye-catching waves of energy, but instead, they fought like mage warriors who impregnated their weapons, fists, and claws with auras!

But although their energies are far inferior to Alvine's subordinates, they still manage to tear their magical shields as if they were butter because of a mysterious factor that no one could understand.

'Well, it's time to start.' Alvine whispered, looking under him with his inhuman expression.

[Fire ball.]

He slowly murmured as he showed an ordinary fireball in his right palm.

-Whooosh... BANG!!

The fireball whistled at an incredible speed and slammed one of the targets who had just killed men.

(Kakaka!!!)

"..."

Hearing this unpleasant laugh at his target in the middle of his fireball, Alvine did not change his expression. But instead, he quietly waited for his spell to dissipate around his prey.

(Kakakaka!! Another insect that thinks it's safe in the sky?!)

At the same time, a shadow jumped towards him at lightning speed from the middle of his flames; spinning towards him with his fist impregnated with a blood-red glow and his sinister smile that distorted his already ugly face

'Good...' Alvine's lips slightly opened as he whispered the only word that had come to mind.

After a second, his body flashed towards the strange creature, and the next moment, the foreigner froze in the spot by noticing the blade of Alvine's long war scythe in the middle of his face hole!

(!?!)

"Well, it seems that you know what suffering is. That's the best news I've learned throughout my life!" He whispers these words with a Machiavellian smile, seeing the horror expression of his prey, who has contracted facial muscles and a stiff body.

(W-wai--!

Before he even finished his sentence, Alvine pressed his dark war scythe down, tearing the body of his prey in two with all his powers to the point that a few drops of the creature's blue blood landed in his abyssal pupils.

But despite this, Alvine did not blink and watched the creature fall into free fall. With only the top of his head that connected the two parts of his body.
