Betrayed by the Succubus, I Raise a Twelve-winged Angel-Chapter 212: Azurefox Clan Leader

"Lilith, this sanctum... could it possibly not be the real world at all?"

Aster Grant’s voice echoed within the Beastbond Space, sending a shiver through Lilith.

She had only vaguely sensed something odd about this world before, never considering this angle.

"An illusory realm?!"

Lilith’s pupils suddenly contracted, her voice filled with disbelief.

As a Blood Progenitor who had lived for millennia, although not adept in Spiritual Abilities, she had absolute confidence in her willpower—

Absolutely no one could drag her into an illusory realm without her realizing it.

However, as Aster listed one anomaly after another about this world, Lilith’s expression gradually became grave.

The most glaring flaw was:

Those Demon Clan members slain by Vera left no trace of accumulated demonic qi!

"The Demon Clan always leaves demonic qi upon death, and concentrated demonic qi will inevitably give rise to new demons!"

"But here, it’s as if the demonic qi was deliberately erased."

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly:

"Aster, your suspicion might be right; this may not be the true Divine Realm at all!"

"I suspect that the item you’ve acquired, along with the Divine Pattern, could all be fake!"

Despite Lilith’s assessment, Aster harbored doubts in his heart.

He had long confirmed through the system—

Both the Earth Marrow and the Divine Pattern showed undeniable genuine attributes.

The detailed data indicated that they couldn’t possibly be merely illusory products.

Nevertheless, Aster would not easily disclose the existence of the system, choosing instead to bury the question deep in his mind.

Given that this place wasn’t an illusory realm, the urgent task was to find a way to leave.

Aster looked up at the Golden Gate still hovering in the sky, a cold sweat breaking out on his back—

Had he not reined in his steps in time earlier, recklessly stepping inside...

"Could he have inadvertently ’left’ the sanctum like that?"

The thought sent shivers down Aster’s spine, "and possibly even cause issues with the Divine Pattern he obtained."

He took a deep breath, asking solemnly in his mind:

"Lilith, since this isn’t an illusory realm, is there a way to break through this strange space?"

Lilith furrowed her brows tightly.

She carefully recalled information about the Divine Realm.

Suddenly, it seemed she thought of something... 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

There was a saying about the Divine Realm!

It was that if the Demon Clan entered the Divine Realm, it would trigger the realm’s rejection function.

But due to lack of records, no one knew what kind of rejection it was.

But thinking back now...

"This false world is likely the product of the Divine Realm’s defense mechanism being triggered; we’ve been dragged down by those demon clans!"

Aster’s eyes lit up upon hearing that.

He immediately understood Lilith’s implication:

"So the urgent task now is..."

"To completely eradicate all Demons!"

Both reached this crucial insight almost simultaneously.

Since their entrapment in this bizarre world was due to the Demon Clan’s presence, the first step to solving the problem was to eliminate all remaining Demons within the sanctum.

After all, it’s impossible for all the Demons to have reached the sanctum’s center; there must still be some scattered throughout the area.

"Scarlett, Veridia, Vera!"

"Immediately scour the entire sanctum, ensuring every remnant Demon is wiped out!"

All three Beastbonds responded in unison, transforming into light streaks darting off in different directions.

...

At the same time.

Elara Silverwood’s figure silently slipped through the barrier of the sanctum, returning to the Azurefox Clan’s secluded realm.

This sanctum, heavily guarded by numerous formations, not only housed the Azurefox Clan but also many smaller races from the Alternate Space that weren’t adept at warfare.

The Leporid Clan, masters of healing; the Avian Clan, experts in reconnaissance; the Murine Clan, skillful artisans...

Almost every race lacking combat talent in the Alternate Space had found refuge here.

"The Princess has returned!"

"Greetings, Lady Elara!"

Various clanspeople along the way greeted her courteously, to which Elara returned gentle smiles.

But her pace did not slow; she headed straight towards the palace at the sanctum’s center, shrouded in iridescent light.

Pushing open the Jade Gate adorned with fox totems, Elara finally beheld the figure seated on the Starlight Throne.

The Azurefox Clan Leader, Luna Crimson, the controller of this sanctum, her mother and the only Totem Level powerhouse of the Azurefox Clan.

"Mother."

Elara just began to show courtesy when Luna Crimson raised her hand, signaling for her to dispense with formalities.

Those golden fox eyes, seemingly capable of seeing through all things, gazed straight at her daughter, getting straight to the point:

"How did the negotiations with the Ghost Race go? Did you manage to persuade them to form an alliance?"

Though a Totem Level powerhouse, Luna Crimson excelled more in support than in combat.

Facing the siege of several Half-Step Totem Level demons, even she found it hard to escape unscathed.

Thus, sending Elara to seek allies was indeed a necessity.

Understanding the urgency of the matter, Elara responded without hesitation:

"Mother, the Ghost Race has agreed to an alliance!"

The tension in Luna Crimson’s shoulders finally eased at this response.

Though the Ghost Race wasn’t the ideal ally, in the current tumultuous situation of the Alternate Space...

Gaining the support of such a powerful race afforded them a measure of security.

However, the next words from Elara made the Clan Leader tense once more:

"But Mother, I discovered an even more worthwhile partner!"

Luna Crimson’s eyes flashed with surprise, but she knew her daughter well.

Elara was never one to act rashly; there must be a reason for her comment.

Indeed, as Elara detailed her observations within the Ghost Race, the Clan Leader’s expression shifted from surprise to amazement.

"What?!"

Luna Crimson couldn’t help but rise to her feet.

"You say the current Blood Progenitor, Lilith, is following a human? And this human has also driven the transformation of the Ghost Race?"

"Even more unbelievable, despite only being a Commander Level Beast Tamer, he can make each Beastreach Monarch Level combat power?"

This string of startling news left even Luna Crimson, a Totem Level powerhouse, widening her golden fox eyes.

In her long existence, she had never heard of such incredible events.

A human who could garner the favor of both the Blood Clan and the Ghost Race, two top-tier races!

In the dog-eat-dog Alternate Space, humans without a Totem Level guardian were generally overlooked by the top races.

Even she couldn’t entirely rid herself of a slight disdain for humans deep within.

But now, the intelligence from her daughter completely overturned her understanding.

If the claims were true, this human might not take long to reach Totem Level.

At which point, the Human Race would usher in an unprecedented era of glory.

What’s even more astonishing was the terrifying potential displayed by his Beasts in battling beyond their rank...

Luna Crimson’s gaze returned to her daughter, her fox tail idly swishing:

"Elara, I agree in principle to an alliance with the humans."

She descended the throne with a voice that carried undeniable authority:

"But before formally sealing the alliance, I must meet this human myself."

"The Azurefox Clan shelters so many weaker races; I must take responsibility for their future."
