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.
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.
