Reji: "..."
There was no helping it!
Allow any adult male with normal desires to continue holding a busty Succubus in his arms; such a reaction is entirely beyond Reji's control.
That's also why he was so eager to have her get down and send her away.
"Eileen, you see, it's about time..."
Reji's attempt to change the subject was abruptly sealed with the Succubus's fingertip.
"My King, I always get the impression that you ignore me after you say lovely things to me. This must be my misunderstanding, right?"
The Succubus looked up at Reji, blinking her innocent eyes at him.
Reji was sweating inside.
It seems the old saying is right; even the best tricks fail when overused.
Fortunately, Eileen's purpose in saying these things wasn't to make Reji uncomfortable.
"My King, this demonic blade was forged from the corpses of several high-ranking Sword Demons a hundred years ago. It is imbued with the power of lost souls, which can intimidate opponents during your slaughter, and it also has a spell-breaking effect.
Any shield spell below the fifth level is as fragile as brittle paper in front of this demonic blade."
"My King, this demon trident has been passed down from the generation before last of Great Demon apostles.
It contains terrifying blood energy, Hektor said even he has difficulty controlling it, but having witnessed the sea of blood you created in the domain before, Hektor believes you might be able to wield this demonic weapon."
"My King, this is the bloodstained cleaver Eris gave me for you. She said any being that dies under this blade will be transformed into a corpse servant. If you're interested in summoning, you might want to give it a try."
"My King, with so many weapons, which one do you prefer? Or"
Eileen hesitated, as though the dumplings she had wrapped before were only a taste of the vinegar to come.
"Do you have any... very powerful secret weapons on you?"
Eileen leaned into Reji's ear.
Softly whispering: "Can Eileen take a look?"
Reji: ""
Reji indeed couldn't help it anymore, even getting a bit angry. How could he, a mighty Demon King and the chosen one from his previous life, be played with by a Succubus?
Indeed, for the sake of future plans, he temporarily could not perform the ritual with the Succubus.
But think about it differently.
There are many ways to discipline a bad Succubus.
"My King, is there anything else to take? I will have someone prepare it later, um, and put it in the ring."
"No more!"
"This space ring, um, is also a trophy from human society back then, Hmm, humans really do have a talent for tinkering with these little things."
"I've already had, um, the Sorcery Demon seal the space ring, only, um, my king can open it. This ring has also been engraved with, um um, a spell that can disguise a human appearance. My King just needs to, um, attach his consciousness to it."
Then, Eileen seemed to demonstrate the ring's disguise function for Reji.
After a flash from the ring, Eileen's Succubus horns and fluffy tail disappeared, concealed by the spell, and her skin turned from a bit grayish to malt color, truly resembling a human.
This new skin had a significant impact on Reji.
Shadow Demons are somewhat similar to bats.
Both prefer to dwell in dark, damp places.
The Succubus descended from the air, retracting her wings. She didn't choose to land directly but raised her hand, releasing a concealment spell, lowering her presence to the minimum.
Then Eileen headed towards the entrance of the Shadow Demon cave.
Shadow Demons are the scouts of the demon race.
They are the eyes of the demon race.
Unfortunately, in front of Eileen's apostle power, the Shadow Demons hanging upside down above the cave did not detect this outsider.
The Succubus easily made her way to the depths of the cave without disturbing any Shadow Demons.
There, a unique, cloaked Shadow Demon was present.
Eileen had just taken a step forward when a bland voice came from the cloaked Shadow Demon opposite her.
"Eileen, what brings you here?"
*Tsk*
The Succubus pursed her lips.
Somewhat displeased.
But this was expected.
Her disguise spell might fool other Shadow Demons but couldn't deceive Sherman.
From Sherman's tone, which had no fluctuations,
It's very likely that from the moment she descended from the Skye, Sherman had already noticed her.
Eileen didn't respond to Sherman's question.
Or rather, she couldn't say that.
The Succubus responded.
Not with words, but with a thorn whip summoned from her hand through magic as her answer.
"Eileen, I don't understand."
"What do you mean by this?"
Sherman's tone finally showed some fluctuation, with confusion, but the next response Sherman got was only the sound of the whip Eileen swung towards her.
*Smack!*
The rose-colored thorn whip harshly struck the ground where the Shadow Demon had just been.
The force of this strike was so strong that it created a thunderous noise inside the cave.
The solid rock floor was shattered, leaving a mark from the whip, showing the terrifying strength of the strike, with no mercy or holding back.
"It means nothing." Eileen stood tall on a rock inside the Shadow Demon cave.
Her cold gaze was directed at the Shadow Apostle who had dodged her whip attack and was now frowning at her.
The Succubus simply stated:
"I just wanted to have a fight with you"
