Chapter 223 No Allies Between Demons
Before Roy could say anything, Julia took a step forward, pointed her fallen angelic sword at Benia, and said coldly, “Succubus, do you want to ‘exchange’ with me? Tell me the location of your demon castle, and I’ll personally come to ‘exchange’ with you!”
“Um…” Roy could not help touching his demon horns. He did not expect Julia to have such a big reaction. However, Benia was not afraid of Julia’s threat at all. She stretched out her finger and curled it at Julia while giggling. “Oh, look. A beautiful and charming fallen angel. If you were the ‘exchange’ object, I wouldn’t mind either!”
F*ck! Roy was shocked when he heard this. Is this succubus the kind that eats all men and women?!
Even Julia did not expect that Benia would say something like this, and she could not help bet get gooseb.u.mps all over her body. Her mood of protecting food just now was gone. Instead, she took a step back and wanted to stay away from Benia, even though she knew that she was just a ma.s.s of liquid.
Looks like Julia’s skills are too shallow to argue with a succubus…
Benia giggled, her voice very sultry, but she did not seem to dare to make such a joke for too long. After a while, she finally said seriously, “Okay, since you’ve chased Delt away, then that guy is useless. New master of Black Brilliance Castle, may I know your name?”
“My name is Osiris. This is my partner, Fallen Angel Julia!” Roy said. “If you want something, just say it! If not, then leave quickly. I just took over this castle, and there are many things to do!”
“Osiris? Why is this name so familiar…” A thoughtful expression appeared on Benia’s face before she asked in surprise, “Do you know Xeron?”
“Huh?!” Roy could not help but frown. “What if I do? What if I don’t?”
He felt that it was too strange. Why did I hear this name again? It was the same in the Darksiders world. Now that I just arrived at the lower Abyss, I actually heard this name again. Is Xeron that famous?!
“It seems like it’s you!” Benia looked at Roy up and down in astonishment. “Some time ago, as soon as Xeron returned to the Abyss, he went around asking about your name everywhere, and he even sent people to the Abyss levels above to find traces of you. This matter has made most of the high-rank demons in the lower Abyss know about it. But from what I know, the demon named Osiris that Xeron mentioned is merely a low-rank demon. So I’m quite curious. If it really is you, how have you promoted from low-rank demon to high-rank demon in such a short time? And… so powerful!”
“Do you want to know? Then come here and let me tell you!” Roy sneered.
“No, no, don’t misunderstand!” Benia hurriedly said. “I don’t have any friends.h.i.+p with Xeron. Since you don’t plan to tell me, then forget it! Okay, I’m actually here to find an ally. I wonder if you’re interested…” “Ally?” Roy frowned. “What do you mean?”
“A world, a world with quality souls!” Benia said. “And these quality souls are waiting for people to harvest, but it’s also a high-magic world. It’s somewhat strenuous for me to rely on myself alone. I originally planned to go with Delt, but you chased that guy away, so I want to ask if you’re willing to go together. Of course, this charming fallen angel can go as well.”
“Oh, tell me about the situation in that world.” Roy walked to the castle lord’s throne and sat down lazily with his feet crossed. He also used his magic power to freeze the throne. This cold temperature was very comfortable for him.
However, what Roy did not expect was that Benia suddenly fell silent. After a while, she finally spread her hands. “Okay, I’ll be straightforward. It’s the world Xeron has been attacking!” “Huh?!” Roy paused in surprise. Is Benia referring to the Heroes of Might and Magic world?
Julia, who was standing beside Roy’s throne, snorted. “You still say that you have no friends.h.i.+p with Xeron? Don’t tell me you want to deceive us and then attack us together with Xeron?”
At this moment, Julia wished she could write the words ‘little s.l.u.t’ on her face…
“If I really thought this way, I wouldn’t have said it directly!” Benia also snorted coldly. “And honestly speaking, with Osiris’s strength, it’s impossible to be afraid of Xeron!”
Roy stared at her, and Benia looked at Roy’s eyes without showing any weakness, using this att.i.tude to prove her frankness. But Roy suddenly grinned and pointed at her. “Don’t use such an inferior provocation method. You’re right. Since Xeron regards me as his enemy, I don’t mind killing him after meeting him, but this isn’t a reason why I should follow you to that world!”
“I have an elder sister!” Benia said. “We were born from the same demon egg…”.
Julia interrupted her in surprise, “Twin demons? That’s really rare!”
“Hmph. It’s a pity that my relations.h.i.+p with her isn’t like what you imagine, Miss Julia!” Benia sneered. “To me, she’s my lifelong enemy!”
“What do you mean?” Roy asked with a frown.
“When a demon is born from an egg, there is usually only one! Only in this way can demons ensure the initial nutrients and grow stronger!” Benia said. “But she and I are twins. From the time we were in the egg, we began fighting for the right to survive. Unfortunately, I couldn’t win against her. Ever since I was born, I was much weaker than other demons…”
Roy recalled the scene when he was born and could not help but identify with her feelings. “Did she not eat you when you were born?”
If it were any other species, this question would have been terrifying. However, it was a normal topic for demons. Benia explained, “Perhaps it was luck. She was born first, and she really did want to kill me, but at that time, another little demon came. While she was fighting that little demon, I crawled out of the egg and quickly escaped far away. I didn’t even dare to appear in front of other demons and luckily avoided the early battles… “But it’s precisely because of this that I went through a rather long period of weakness. I spent hundreds of years plundering souls to make up for my congenital shortcomings. When I finally promoted to middle-rank demon and awakened to succubus, I learned that my sister had long already become a high-rank demon!
“If not for her, I wouldn’t have been so miserable at the beginning!” Benia gritted her teeth. “Now I’ve finally become a high-rank demon, but the hards.h.i.+p is completely beyond imagination for her. I’ve been asking about her and learned that she’s in Xeron’s world, plotting to destroy that world with a group of high-rank demons…”
“So, are you planning on causing trouble in that world?” Roy asked directly.
“Yes! Those d.a.m.n high-rank demons united and regarded that world as their private land. All the demons they’ve summoned have signed demon contracts with them to help them plunder souls!” Benia said. “And what I plan to do is to go to that world and s.n.a.t.c.h food from them! I won’t let go of any opportunity to cause trouble for her!”
“What’s your sister’s name?” Roy asked while pondering
“Biara! She’s a very powerful succubus!” Benia said. “How about it, Osiris? Come with me. As long as you help me kill Biara, I can help you kill Xeron!”
“Oh, I’ll think about it!” Roy nodded.
“Okay. If you decide to, contact me within a month. I have the coordinates of that world. When you contact me, use this projection pool. I believe you’ll be able to understand the function of the projection pool soon…” With that, the liquid that formed Benia sank back into the pool, and her figure disappeared.
After Benia disappeared, Julia asked Roy, “Are you planning to ally with her?”.
“How is that possible?” Roy grinned. “This succubus isn’t speaking much truth. How can I believe her so easily?”.
“You mean she’s lying?” Julia frowned.
“of course. Even if she really has a sister that she hates to the bone, have you thought about it? Her sister advanced to a high-rank demon much earlier than her. With her strength, how can she defeat her sister?” Roy snorted. “She’s been roping in allies just to get them to deal with her sister. She might have been looking for the former castle lord, Delt, but he ran away, and we replaced him. And her so-called bargaining chip is nothing more than a transaction of souls and her body. Don’t all succubi do this?”
Hearing this, Julia was furious. She gritted her teeth and said, “I knew she was a coquettish s.l.u.t.”
But then, Julia asked worriedly, “What’s the matter with your enemy Xeron? From her tone, Xeron seems to have a bunch of high-rank demons as allies. Moreover, this guy seems to be very famous in the lower Abyss. If you don’t form an alliance with Benia, will she disclose the news of you appearing to Xeron and let him bring a bunch of high-rank demons to cause trouble for us?”
“Alliances between demons are not reliable at all!” Roy laughed coldly. He thought of Xeron’s ‘teammates’. They were simply a bunch of high-rank demons fighting over souls. If not for this, how could Roy have lured Xeron’s army in deep alone and finally got him besieged and killed by dragons? So Roy was not worried about this at all. “Do you believe that as long as Xeron is killed, his so-called allies won’t avenge him?!”
“But is it possible that Xeron has a demon lord backing him?” Julia asked. “Of course!” Roy nodded. “But I’m about to become a demon lord, so I don’t need to worry too much. On the contrary, I plan to take the initiative to go to that world and kill Xeron! After all, I’ve been to that world once. The magic theories in that world are very rich and systematic. If I want to become a demon lord, I need some knowledge about s.p.a.ce magic. It’s best to go to that world to obtain it!”
Julia was a little jealous. “So, you still have to join forces with Benia?”
“Who said that?” Roy hugged her and smiled confidently. “Do you think I can’t go to that world without her?”
It had probably been many years since he was in the Heroes of Might and Magic world. Someone should have gathered the seven Dragon b.a.l.l.s left in the Heroes of Might and Magic world…
