King of succubus-Chapter 239 The Beginning Of Linn’s Obsession With Alvine. 2
"How the hell is that possible?! Are you also a primordial being?!" She stammered in disbelief while looking at Alvine with suspicious eyes.
Realizing that she had had what she wanted, Alvine immediately broke the link between them. "Tsk, if I was a primordial mage, do you think I'd let myself be captured by you?! In short, you checked what you wanted to check. Now don't forget what you owe me."
"If you're not like me, Otherwise, how can you have primordial energy in you?!"
"It's not primordial energy, but raw energy. Sigh, I don't care about your judgment. If you want explanations, bring me what I wanted." Alvine remained immutable in the face of questions and Linn's insistence despite her suspicions towards him.
At that moment, Linn had the impression that all the knowledge she had acquired in recent millennia instantly collapsed in the face of this irregular that she had kidnapped.
Possessing divine energy by being a mortal is evident proof that a mage will become a divine mage as long as he continues cultivating. But what about a simple emperor mage with primordial energy?! Will he become a primordial mage like her and the other primordials? It was unrealistic but too realistic for the case of Alvine, who had already assisted a divine mage in reaching the primordial rank!
Knowing all these things, she burned the desire to bomb Alvine with all kinds of questions. But during this, the latter was no longer in the mood, at least, until he received the goods he expected from her.
The roles were reversed instantly at that moment. Instead of her, who was putting pressure on Alvine with Rayja's cloak and blood she had in her possession, it was rather Alvine who was now putting pressure on her with the information he held. The balance was too unbalanced to be advantageous. This fact became apparent to her after noticing Alvine's mocking smile.
'Tsk, this bastard is trying to return my strategy against me. But it's a good thing, at least. I now know that the rumors about him are not really false. Not to mention the creations of Linddra or Rayja; this guy is more valuable than any elixir or primordial weapons in this universe. I now understand why Mistress Rina is so obsessed with him.' With these thoughts, she got up on the sofa and then took a last look at Alvine.
"Stay wisely here; I'll be back." Her voice resounded in the living room, although her figure was no longer.
Alvine couldn't even notice her movements. But he didn't care about this detail; he was waiting for this moment to organize Luna and Greed and, above all, to check if the ring he had was the fragment that completed the black jewel he had seen in Linn's storage room.
"Even if I don't have much time, it's more than enough. During my last visit, I paid attention to the time on this clock. Even if we had only lasted about five minutes in this room, it had still been twenty-four hours here. That means I have at least an hour ahead of me, no matter her monstrous speed." He said while sipping his whiskey and quietly checking the rusty ring on his right annular.
After about ten minutes, he nods. "As I imagined. The size of the small jewel and the shape perfectly match the hole of this ring. I am fifty percent sure that the jewel in Linn's storage room is intended for this ring. That was also one of the reasons that prevented me from activating this ring, as I had done with Kimiko. But unfortunately, one problem still persists. This fucking ring has two jewel locations! Ah~ fucking shit! How likely am I to come across the second jewel? The chance is certainly lower than looking for grain in the Arizona desert. Sigh, the Arizona desert, huh? I wonder how much time has passed on earth since my death."
"Sigh; as I already know the location of one of the two jewels, I will leave it with her and choose the cape, at least, until I locate the other jewel." He concludes after finishing examining the rusty ring.
"In short. Luna, come here, please." He then ordered.
At the same time, Luna instantly appeared in front of him. "My lord, should I kill this woman?" She asked in a rabid tone.
"..." Alvine was speechless when he heard Luna's question.
"Sigh, you're not strong enough for that yet. But let's move on; for now, I have not yet categorized her as my enemy." He answered Luna's question after overcoming his surprise.
"But my lord, this woman had the nerve to capture you! She deserves to die and burn forever in the gehenna flames! Trust me. I am two-percent sure that I can kill her by using the gehenna flames if I surprisingly attack her." She then insisted while her irises turned to cramoisy reds under the effects of her boiling rage.
"...Hehe~, I'm delighted to hear these words from you." Alvine was so happy to see this madness in her eyes that he could not help but emotionally caress his head, surprising Luna.
"But unfortunately, two percent is too low. We must... Ugh."
But Alvine was most surprised to see her act like a pet that appreciated the petting of her master. He immediately withdrew his hand from her head when he saw her shiver and snuggle. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m
"Ahem, in any case, I have a task to entrust to you. And if you accomplish this task to perfection, I am sure there will be no more room for revenge." He said after scratching his throat.
"As expected of you, my lord. Your desires are orders." She immediately answers as a cruel smile emerges on her black lips.
"Well, here's your task. But first, tell me what you understood about the current situation."
"My lord, I noticed that she used an artifact that blocked some of your powers and prevented us, your subordinates, from ensuring your safety from your kingdom. But despite everything, we could still hear and monitor you, even if we could not go out into your kingdom to help you despite countless attempts on our part. That brought me back to the conclusion that she uses a powerful artifact. Her powers are too ridiculous to block yours."
"...Well, that, INCREDIBLE! You have very well exceeded my expectations. In fact, I came to the same conclusion. Like Serena, Sylvia, and the other primordials, she must have a primordial artifact or weapon that is in harmony with her concept. What is more frightening with these people are the primordial artifacts and weapons they have in their possessions; that's why we need to be more careful with them. You understand what I mean, don't you?"
"...So... Do I have to redouble my efforts to kill her?"
"No, Luna. No matter our efforts, she's too powerful for us. But that doesn't mean we can't make her daily life like hell." A sinister smile emerged on his lips as he spoke these words.
"Take this orb with you and hide as if your existence depended on it. I'd activate it when the time comes and absorb all the energy of the artifact that blocks me here. But I'd only do it after locating Linn's primordial artifact. Thus, I could take with me this artifact or weapon, anyway, with me. You must understand one thing, my beloved Luna; no matter the power, rank, or dangerousness of a weapon, it will become a vulgar metal if it's emptied of its energy. And that's where this mysterious orb held by Greed will begin its role."
After hearing Alvine's plan, Luna had wide eyes with admiration. "Your wisdom will never cease to amaze me, my lord. Silky reassured this vicious fox would get what she deserved. I’d try to accomplish the task even if I have to sacrifice my life for it!"
"...L-Luna? Have you evolved without me realizing it?"? Alvine looked her in the eyes with suspicion when he saw her strange behavior.
"Not yet, My Lord. But don't worry, it's only a matter of time before I evolve and become stronger to crush all these boring beings that disturb your daily life."
"Um-umm, I don't doubt it; you're already starting to talk like Dalvine; I don't know if it's reassuring."
"It is an honor to look like you, my lord."
"Hm? Not me; I'm talking about Dalvine. Sigh, in short. Take this orb and do what you have to do." He ordered by giving it the orb that contains his universal law; the black hole!
At the same time, Luna bowed one last time in front of him, and then, her silhouette flashed off of the living room as she left to accomplish the mission that Alvine had given her.
"Sigh, the more she evolves, the more unpredictable she becomes. Just like the others, she always confuses me with Dalvine, believing that this crazy is really a part of me. In short, time will tell me what this guy really is. According to what he is capable of, I'd not be surprised to learn that he cast a vicious spell on my shadow soldiers to sow confusion in their minds. Even if I don't like to admit it, I haven't seen stronger than this guy in this universe."
"Who are you talking about?" Linn, who had just appeared suddenly behind him, asked him.
"Damn it! Stop freaking me out like that!" Alvine was startled in panic on the sofa because of Linn's sudden appearance.
'She was faster than expected. It has only been twenty-seven minutes since he left. Fortunately, I didn't hang out too much.' He said to Himself while looking at the clock on the opposite wall.
"Sigh, you have the gift of complaining about every insignificant detail. In short, this vial contains the rest of Rayja's blood in my possession. But you are only entitled to one drop of blood. So be careful to put it in the small hole above the box." She explains, giving the vial to Alvine.
"I have a question. Do you have another pearl that looks like the pearl you showed me instead?" Alvine asked while catching the little vial.
"Hm? You still can't forget this jewel? Well, I understand you; I was the same at first. But believe it or not, even I have no idea about the origin of this jewel." She said, sitting in front of Alvine while putting one leg on the other.
"I understand."
"Otherwise, what do you decide? Do you prefer to start with the box or link to the cape?"
