King of succubus-Chapter 248 To Achieve A Goal, All Means Are Suitable To Use!

...Renaissance flames, a power linked to the core of any phoenix from the beginning of its existence. Phoenixes are known to be immortal beasts, at least, as long as a fragment of their cores remains behind them, and even if their cores are reduced to a state of dust, they can still be reborn from their ashes as long as a tiny amount of their vital energy remains in the universe.

That is why, even if the phoenixes are not the most powerful beasts, they are still the most difficult to exterminate since they have the unfortunate tendency to hide fragments of their vital energies everywhere in the universe.

But their powers are not limited to this alone; they have other frightening skills that are related to the soul. The ability to see a soul before it enters samsara cycles and to revive all living beings as long as all conditions are met; To revive a magical beast, it is necessary at least to have the core of the latter to proceed with its resurrection.

That's why Linn refused to give Balakh's corpse. But this was not the only reason; Balakh was the descendant of an ancestral dragon; this simple fact completely changed the situation.

"Your Highness, you have already balanced the balance by killing General Balakh to make him pay for his sins. I swear to you on behalf of my ancestor that he will not be resurrected; I beg you to give us his body back to his family." Seeing that Linn did not intend to grant them this favor, all Sestia could do was beg her.

"Oh my~, you still told give you his corpse? You're too stupid to think you can fool me with such a blatant trick." Linn giggled when she heard Sestia's words.

"!" Sestia's body stiffened when she also heard Linn's words.

She instantly understood that Linn had discovered her desperate attempt to save Balakh. Because an ancestral dragon will not die by the simple fact of beheading them; in other words, Balakh, whose head was ten meters from his body, pretended to die!

Linn then approached Balakh's gigantic headless body and leaned towards him while whispering to him: "If you still pretend to sleep, I would have no choice but to tear off your draconic core and sell it at a good price on the market."

"!" Even if she whispered these words, everyone could hear them.

But unlike the others who had horrified expressions, Alvine, for his part, was convinced that Balakh was dead. The cause was that he could not feel the slightest breath of life emanating from Balakh.

Balakh remained silent, which was typical for a 'death'.

"Fufufu~, very good. Even if I didn't intend to kill you from the beginning, it seems that you finally want to die." Even if Linn smiled, everyone could guess how angry she was when she saw Balakh ignore her. She then creates a thin blade of energy around her index finger.

But just before she stabbed Balakh's chest with her blade aura, Balakh's beheaded head suddenly opened his scarlet red eyes!

"W-wait!" He was yelling in an alarmed tone, abounding Alvine!

"Fufu~, well, here it is! You can see that you can do it whenever you want." Linn retorted, looking at Balakh's head; following these words, she moved a few steps away from Balakh.

Then, in front of Alvine's incredulous eyes, Balakh's gigantic body (always without a head) stood on his four legs and walked towards his head, picked it up, and placed his neck before starting his regeneration!

'I swear not to leave a corpse of a magical beast behind me until its core isn't caught off!' At that moment, Alvine made this decision by seeing the unimaginable scene happen in front of him.

Even in his wildest dreams, he wouldn't believe such a thing would be possible. His astonishment was not because Balakh did not die even after decapitating himself since he had already experienced a similar event with a beast. The most skeptical for him was to see Balakh assimilate his death by hiding his breath of life!

But such a skill would not be without consequences; he could say it just by noticing Balakh's magical energy, which had drastically diminished.

But as usual, he was the only one to pay attention to this unimportant detail. The others had complex expressions of panic, fear, and disdain.

Sestia and the other beasts panicked just imagining Linn's reaction; Balakh was horrified to learn that his assimilated death attempt had fallen into the water. As for Linn, she disdains them, seeing them try to deceive her with such tricks.

But that didn't mean that she wasn't angry with them. It was like a kind of lack of respect for her powers, according to her judgments.

*Are you going to kill him?* Alvine immediately asked, noticing the frustration that made grew her bloodthirsty from second to second.

A few seconds ago, Alvine felt no hostility emanating from her, but now, with her bloody aura alone, Alvine could guess that she would be ruthless towards Balakh if she started a second round. He would not even be surprised to see her commit a global and systematic massacre; after all, they (primordial) have become unpredictable by dint of living millennia.

*Is this a problem for you?* She asked while frowning at Alvine, who was standing five meters away from her.

*No, but I thought he would be an excellent opponent to train me. His powers are out of the ordinary for a mage like me; he has a draconic body that will be able to resist most of my attacks. Finally, his arrogance of being a superior race will force him to give his all to not suffer the slightest scratch against someone with an insignificant rank like me. In short, it will be a good training golem for me.* Alvine listed the benefits that Balakh could bring him if he remains alive.

And as his advantages were also those of Linn, which makes them two people with the same common interests. If Linn wants to have the chance to get what she wants from Alvine, she has no choice but to help him reach a higher rank to get more advantage with him.

Knowing where Alvine wanted to come from, she could not find a better solution.

'But all the same, I have the impression that this vicious bastard is using me to achieve a goal greater than what he lets appear. Even if I can't know what it is, I feel like I forget something important.' She said to herself thoughtfully. Alvine could guess that she still had doubts even though she had no reason to refuse his proposal, just by seeing her expression.

As a primordial being, her intuitions and senses could not be ordinary like the others. But on the other hand, Alvine, who had spent almost all his time with beings such as her, knew how they thought; therefore, he did not leave her the time she needed to reflect on the situation calmly.

*But if you think you can find a better solution, then I no longer have any reason to ask you to save him and bring him with us.* He immediately added when he saw Linn's hesitation.

'I know. Do you think it's possible for me to help you without me having to reach the divine rank? There is a faster way, indeed. But even if it is the fastest and most advantageous way for me to become strong, which forces me to do without this process... it is because you will collect as much advantage as I do if I proceed with this method. It is, therefore, out of the question that I accelerate the power of a crazy man like you who is out of control. A stubborn ally is ten times more dangerous than an enemy.' As Alvine thought, a subtle smile emerged on the corners of his lips, noticing that Linn had made the decision he expected of her.

"Sestia, is that your name?" After weighing the pros and cons, Linn addressed Sestia by pronouncing her name for the first time.

But instead of joy, Sestia felt a bad premonition. "Y-yes." She stammered.

"Very well, Sestia, two choices are now available to you: the first is to kill you all for your insolence and your unforgivable lack of respect for me." She replied in a cold tone.

"..." Sestia and the others were silent while waiting for Linn to continue her sentence.

But instead of continuing, Linn, for the first time, uses a small amount of her primordial aura, forcing everyone to collapse on the ground. Following this, a long deep blue spear appeared instantly in her left hand. "This time, I wouldn't pretend to kill you." She retorted while preparing for the attack.

"YOUR HIGHNESS! You just said we had two choices!?!" Linn yelled these words when he saw Linn's murderous intention, who was like a mower.

At the same time, Linn withdraws her bloodthirsty intention as if nothing had happened. "Oh~? I had forgotten; I always tend to have a bad memory. So I advise you not to play nasty tricks with me anymore; otherwise, I'm afraid I might forget that I gave you favors. Do you understand what I mean by that, don't you?" She asks with a cruelly vicious smile.

"... Yes, we understand," Sestia responds with sweat on her forehead.

'A bad memory? Tsk, this mad woman! She does this only to tell them that they have no choice but to take the second choice. But more importantly, is she really hurt? I have never seen such a murderous aura. Even I had trouble keeping my mind intact in the face of such an aura, even though I was not his target!' Alvine himself had cold sweats all along his back after witnessing a demonstration of Linn's powers, even though he did not know that Linn had used only a tiny amount of her aura.

"Very well, here is the second choice available to you...."

...

After 'passively' resolving the situation with the red dragons and Sestia's troops, Linn and Alvine returned to the small mansion on the meteorite in the middle of nowhere. But unlike before, they were accompanied by Balakh.

"Once the mission is complete, try as quickly as possible." Alvine, who was in one of the rooms that is now considered his own, ordered the three shadow soldiers who were kneeling in front of him.

"At your order, my lord." Luna and Greed responded to unite.

The third shadow soldier who was with Luna and Greed was none other than the Scythe soldier, who had not completed his evolution well (because of Alvine, who had not understood the principles of evolution of his soldiers at the time).

"Perfect, so execution!!" He ordered with a movement of his hand.

Even before he finished his words, his three faithful servants disappeared before him to fulfill the mission he had assigned them. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

Now that he was alone in his bedroom, Alvine adjusted his clothes before joining Linn and Balakh, who now played the role of butler; perhaps he looked more like a bartender than a butler since Linn liked strong and spicy mixtures than teas.

Balakh was no longer in his draconic form; he was now a handsome man with long silvery white hair, two long red horns, and a robust body covered with red scales, and he measured about 210cm! In other words, a giant among Alvine (190cm~ now) and Linn (180cm~).
