Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

3/5

Dian's words were a bit convoluted.

It took the little succubus a while to react.

Make me the one being summoned?

Doesn't that mean sending me to the Demon King's side?

Eileen took a sharp breath.

She held back her tears as well.

She quickly wiped her tear-stained face with her small hands.

She hurriedly asked, "You mean, leave the Demon Realm and go to the Demon King's world?!"

"Yes, summoning a powerful being requires a lot of resources, but sending a young succubus... I still have the power to do that."

"However..."

Dian actually didn't want to give Eileen this hope originally.

After all, it was too risky.

No one knew where the Demon King's world was located, what kind of environment it had, or if there were any dangers.

And now, Eileen was so young.

It could almost be said that she had no ability to protect herself.

Not to mention, even though he could perform such a long-distance teleportation across worlds, there were still risks, and not low ones at that.

If there was an error during the teleportation...

Eileen might be directly sent to some strange and unknown place. To think even worse, it was possible that she could be directly killed by the chaotic currents of space.

Even if everything was fortunate...

And they succeeded...

Sending Eileen to the other party's side...

But the question was...

Was the other party really willing to become a Demon King?

You should know that the current Eileen not only hadn't reached adulthood but also didn't have the voluptuous body of a succubus. Let alone serving and helping the Demon King, she was still at a stage where she needed others to take care of her.

Moreover, the Succubus clan was no longer the apostle race it once was. The entire clan, from top to bottom, only had her left, and she was wanted as a criminal by the current king, Lordan.

In other words, if the other party really accepted Eileen, not only would they have an additional burden, but they would also face the situation of being enemies with the entire Demon Realm.

Comparing this with the Demon Realm's tradition in the past, where the summoned Demon Kings had the entire Demon Realm's submission from the start and had the guidance and assistance of mature and steady succubi, the difference in the starting point between the two was obvious.

Dian tried to imagine...

If he were that Demon King, it seemed that there was absolutely no reason to accept Eileen.

On the contrary...

Capturing Eileen and offering her to Lordan as a tribute, thus gaining the Demon Realm's favor, would be a better choice.

Therefore... No matter how you looked at it, sending Eileen over was a bad strategy. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a life-threatening adventure with a one-in-ten chance of survival.

Dian explained all this to the little succubus.

Eileen also fell silent.

She also fell into hesitation and struggle.

Indeed, she had only been thinking about how good it would be before.

She had completely forgotten that she couldn't provide high-quality resources to the demon King like the other succubi of previous generations. She couldn't even perform the most basic service.

The little succubus lowered her head and looked at her flat and skinny body due to malnutrition, with almost no curves on her chest.

Obviously, no Demon King would like this kind of succubus.

Even less would a Demon King be interested in a little girl.

As a succubus without even the most basic charm...

Why would the Demon King believe her?

And help her take revenge? Fight against the entire Demon Realm for her?

"Give up."

These two words of Dian's final persuasion struck Eileen's heart like a heavy hammer.

Afterwards, the Sorcerer Demon rarely spoke some cruel realities to the succubus.

"Although Lordan disrupted the summoning ceremony and killed the new King, he did indeed gain the recognition of the other demons. The history of the Demon Realm has been rewritten. From now on, there will never be another summoning ceremony. There will always be only one Demon King. Whether it's you or us, we all have to... accept this reality."

"Recognition? Dian, you call that recognition?! Don't think I don't know! Lordan is using his wicked blood to control the Demon Realm! He's making our brethren lose their minds! Turning them into beasts!"

"Look at the Demon Realm under his rule! All the demons are immersed in wicked blood. They don't hesitate to slaughter each other, becoming more and more insane and frenzied. You call this recognition? If this continues, it won't be long before the entire Demon Realm is destroyed by Lordan!"

Eileen shouted with all her might. Although the little succubus was young, she had a clear view of the current state of the Demon Realm.

But in other words...

If even Eileen could see that Lordan's rule with wicked blood was wrong, couldn't the other apostles see it?

In the face of absolute power...

The apostles could only swallow their anger. Only by submitting could they survive. The previous Succubus Apostle was already a bloody example.

Lordan, who had usurped the authority of the "Demon King," was no longer someone they could resist.

"We still have a few years before we reach the next human world. If you can hold on until then, I can promise you that I will send you to the humans at that time."

"As the native beings, they will definitely do their utmost to resist the Demon Realm. From a certain perspective, their interests should align with yours. Perhaps they can help you. Let's leave it at that."

In the end, Dian still chose the safer option.

But of course, it was also the most hopeless one. This was no different from self-consolation for Eileen.

The Demon Realm had conquered so many worlds.

Even worlds as strong as the Elves, Star Spirits, and Dragons were all defeated and swept away. Now, a lower-level civilization like the human world dared to say they could defeat the Demon Realm, greatly enhanced by wicked blood under Lordan's control?

Dian didn't want to continue anymore.

He intended to completely end the topic, return the pendant to Eileen, and forcibly send the little succubus out.

But it was at this moment...

An unexpected event occurred again.

Dian suddenly became tense as if facing a great enemy. Even the Sorcerer Demon under the raven mask became nervous.

The little succubus beside him also seemed to have discovered something. A look of terror appeared on Eileen's face.

"He's here."

It went without saying who the "he" the Sorcerer Demon referred to was. There was only one who could make the apostles uneasy.

The current Demon King.

Lordan.

"It should be that he sensed the magical power leaked from the pendant earlier. The barrier won't last long. He'll be up here soon."

With Dian's words... Eileen seemed to be able to hear the footsteps of the Wicked Demon on the stairs.

Fear enveloped the little succubus.

Because although Lordan had a warrant out for her, he basically assumed that she, who had disappeared, was dead. Once he discovered that she was actually still alive and even had the pendant, the consequences of being caught were unimaginable. Eileen was very clear that the Wicked Demon had various methods.

What to do?!

What to do?!

Time passed second by second. The little succubus was already in a panic, her mind blank. Fortunately, Dian was still very calm. As the Sorcerer Demon Apostle, his thinking was very quick. At this point, there was only one option left, the choice they had abandoned before.

"Hold your pendant tightly."

Before Eileen could react, Dian began chanting. His Raven Staff erupted with dense magical power and began to communicate with the pendant. Layer upon layer of complex and profound teleportation runes began to float and drift around Eileen.

The only way now was to send the little succubus out.

And it was only when he truly cast the teleportation magic that Dian was surprised to find that the coordinates of the "other party" in the pendant were actually...

Buzz!

As Dian initiated the teleportation on his side...

It seemed that the pendant had been waiting for this opportunity all along.

Next, Dian was actually directly deprived of control over the spell by the existence on the other side of the pendant. This was simply unbelievable for a Sorcerer Demon Apostle.

Layer upon layer of protection enveloped the little succubus, providing ample defense. Eileen thought these were from Dian, but in fact, apart from starting it, the Sorcerer Demon had also become a spectator. Everything was dominated by the existence on the other side of the pendant.

Finally...

Buzzzzzz!

Accompanied by an even more intense surge of vast magical power...

Eileen with her face full of nervousness about the unknown, disappeared into the light along with the pendant.

In the empty secret library at the end...

Dian looked in the direction where the little succubus had disappeared, deep in thought.

But he didn't ponder for too long.

After the Sorcerer Demon quickly left this secret library, two demons were already waiting for him in the room outside his door.

One of them was none other than the Demon King, Lordan.

And following behind Lordan was...

The Wisdom Demon Apostle.

Leo.
