My Alter Ego's Path to Greatness

Chapter 391

〈 Succubus (3) 〉

“Oh my... no, godmother.”

“You can call me at your convenience, Siana. “Because this is not a public place.”

“...Yes, mother. But are you really okay? Mother’s will is the will of all Dream Workers, so there is no disagreement, but perhaps the decision was made too hastily...”

A private room filled with colorful decorations that were not typical of the Demon World.

Liliana slowly stroked the corner of her mouth as her daughter carefully spoke the words.

I could fully understand why Siana said that.

Even though he recognized Hela as the daughter of the 14th Demon King and his niece, it still doesn’t change the fact that he saw her for the first time today and that their conversation wasn’t very long.

But it must have felt a little strange to swear allegiance all of a sudden.

“Uhuhu, you’re still immature.”

“yes?”

But Liliana was sure.

That your choice is right.

At first glance, it may have seemed like an impulsive decision, but it was a conclusion reached after considering all the circumstances in an extremely calm manner.

“He is not just a demon with great power. “You could say he’s already a full-fledged demon lord.”

“...The Demon King? But that’s...”

Demon clan and demon lord.

The gap was not simply a difference in status.

If I had to compare it, it was like the elves and the high elves... or even more starkly different than that from the ‘race’ called the Demon Lord.

“Hehe—a being who has never been to the demon world is a demon lord from the moment he was born. I didn’t even know something like this was possible. This must be fate. “It may also be the will of the demon god.”

I could feel it because she was one of the strongest people in the demon world.

The moment he first saw Hela—his own blood and soul were fiercely drawn to her.

And that was evidence that something more than just the other person’s charm was involved.

“Ah, so...!”

Count-level demon Siana let out an exclamation.

Now he realized why he was unable to move in front of Hela and why even the great immortal king recognized her as an equal.

All demon kings so far have been born postnatally.

The moment he proved his qualifications by being recognized by the members of the Demon World and reached the top, he received the grace of the Demon God and was able to evolve into a Demon King.

In that respect, her position was similar to that of a saint in the human church, but she could not be considered completely the same as she possessed not only authority but also actual military power.

Unlike other races, demons were inherently lacking in religious beliefs.

‘Of course, since he has not been officially recognized yet, he may not have gained all the authority as the Demon King.’

Although the Demon King in the Demon World was a weak being, he was a being with his own level of deity.

Of course, the devil wasn’t all about the body.

It didn’t matter if it was fear or hatred, not faith or worship.

If he comes to the forefront in the future and receives recognition from the members of the Demon World in some way, only then will he be able to become a true Demon King.

“But no matter how the order is reversed and not perfect, the devil is still the devil. It also inherits LeRaye’s power. But you can’t just miss an opportunity like this, can you?”

It was an insight based on transcendent intuition.

If they follow Hela, they will eventually be able to achieve what they want.

If it’s him, he will definitely reach the top of this demon world someday.

“And one more thing. “We don’t have much time left.”

“ah!”

The victory of the long war was already completely tilted towards the ‘Dark Nest’ led by the Demon Dragon Duke.

Duke Tuma’s faction, which was the most warlike, had already completely collapsed and been absorbed under his command, and the other two dukes also suffered fatal damage and could barely hold on by preventing the lower forces from leaving.

“Walking the tightrope between them is now a limit. If it continues like this, it will soon collapse. In such a situation, not only the Demon King but also the Queen’s essence appeared enough to become a variable...”

Liliana lightly shrugged her shoulders as if there was no need to say anything.

Siana, convinced by her mother’s words, nodded.

Although he also had a crush on Hela, he thought that deciding the organization’s future was separate from that.

“So, Siana? “What are you doing now?”

“yes?”

At that time, Liliana, who was looking at her daughter with a strange expression, blurted out a word.

And then, before Siana, who was taken aback by the sudden question, could reply, continued speaking again.

“I told you, right? “We don’t have any time left.”

“Yes, that’s right...”

“Then shouldn’t we hurry up and help at least with one hand? How long are you going to rest like that? “The mother is working so hard, but she looks so relaxed.”

In Liliana’s hand was the ‘Essence of the Succubus Queen’, which was given to her immediately after swearing loyalty to Hela.

To her, it is like a keepsake from her mother.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

was just a material being processed with magic for efficient extraction of power right now.

For the survival of not only myself and my mother, but also the dream workers who have been protecting me ever since.

“Ahh! yes I understand, godmother!”

When she saw the back of Siana rushing out, she laughed and looked down at Jeongsu again.

A pink-tinged geometric polyhedron on a black background resonated with magical power and dispersed a gentle energy.

He seems to be lovingly embracing his daughter whom he hasn’t seen in a long time.

As if praising the godmother who fought hard for a long time and defended her hometown brilliantly.

It was Demon King Hela’s full-fledged debut in the demon world.

***

Duke Görang, Sipar, is one of only four dukes... no, now only three remaining dukes in the demon world.

[What? Dream Walker?]

The face of a vicious demon with a scar around its eye was distorted, and as he tilted his head, his rich mane shook.

[Roaring—Are they crazy?]

Next, a head covered in scales and with protruding tusks like a wild boar growled.

[I knew it would be like this! We should have wiped them out right away!]

The beast with skin distorted by burns and distorted features roared harshly.

Roaring—

a huge beast—the air vibrated as Cerberus, the three-headed dog, stood up.

A huge body nearly 10 meters tall.

The long snake-like tail wriggled and flicked its tongue.

But even for a moment.

Sipar left that matter to his subordinates and turned his attention again.

The reason Abnormal stopped attacking Dream Walker was not because of lack of ability.

If there wasn’t a check from other factions in the first place, it wouldn’t have taken long to sort them out.

Right now, the Dark Nest was more important than dealing with those little brats.

“Duke! Talav has fallen!”

“There is fighting everywhere! “I’m stranded on the battlefield against the Dark Nest, and I can’t possibly send support...!”

“The Galak guarding the central gateway has defected! The Dream Walkers are advancing quickly through there, Duke!”

But things turned out differently than he expected.

The news of defeat comes in succession so that it cannot be ignored.

Even though most of the capabilities were being invested in the battlefield against the Dark Nest, this speed was clearly unexpected.

‘What on earth did they do? There’s no way Liliana or that stupid dream demon would have this ability?’

I already knew that they had recently been reaching out to numerous low-level forces, regardless of faction.

Didn’t they scoff at him for doing something that befits vulgar people and order an investigation into it?

‘No, this is not something that can be done simply by gathering power.’

The demons under his command were not weak enough to be outnumbered.

There was definitely something more.

Something you didn’t know.

When the four heads, including the snake on the tail, are working hard to find a way to respond.

“Duke! “They...!”

Kwaaaaang—!

A loud explosion was heard a short distance away from the cave he was staying in.

In addition, the scent of battlefield flowing into Asrai.

The Dream Walker army has already invaded here.

[Huh...?!]

Many heads blurted out in unison as if they were dumbfounded.

What happened just now meant only one thing.

That they were targeting him from the beginning.

In the war of the demon world, in order to prevent rear infiltration using spatial movement, they install a gateway that allows movement only in a certain direction in the area they occupy.

However, this current attack was at a speed that could not have been achieved without breaking through only the gateways leading in this direction at the shortest distance.

Of course, that alone was great enough, but—.

[Hehehe... This is ridiculous.]

[Crumbling—It looked funny.]

[Massacre! Kihahaha! It’s time for slaughter!]

Kwaang—!

With a loud roar, Sipar’s huge body was launched towards the direction where the commotion was coming from.

The reason he was stuck here was not because he was scared.

He was simply waiting in the center to respond to the appearance of other dukes or dangerous battlefields in order to most efficiently utilize his, Abnormal’s best power.

[But he came here on his own feet!]

It was only a moment before he, with his strong spirit, reached the battlefield.

It is the home of Abnormal, where various demons have become entangled and become a crucible of chaos.

[......!]

But the moment I arrived at the scene.

Sipar’s body stopped for a moment.

He had been confident until he arrived here, but before he knew it, the hair on his entire body stood up and he glared in one direction.

There was something there that stimulated his instincts.

It’s—

“Cerberus? Wait, isn’t that a dog? But why is it a strange dog and not a strange dog?”

With an arrogant woman who offends Sipar.

“Kahahahaha!”

It was a four-legged monster that was carrying her on its back and making strange cries.
