King of succubus

440  A Valkyrie.

Rendy's POV

I didn't like him since the first time I saw him. I know that he cannot be judged with common sense.

"Don't do anything thoughtless or arrogant that could make him our enemy. He's the perfect representation of chaos and destruction." These were the words that my mistress had used to warn me.

But all the same, it's not about him, but about his minion, who's already at the gates of death.

No matter how much I think about the reason that made him so confident, I can't find any.

In conclusion, he uses this excuse to get rid of us.

Tsk! What does the queen find special? He's arrogant, sarcastic, and sneaky. Quite the opposite of us. Frankly, why does Mistress Azalea find him exceptional?

Regardless of his reasons, I would never accept to be the ally of such a person. And since he's so confident, and such an opportunity presents itself, he needs to be shaken to wake up from his disillusionment of being above everyone.

No matter the power of his subordinate, she will never be able to defeat Cindy in such a short time. Even Mistress Azalea would be unable to do so in such a situation.

It remains to be seen what kind of encouragement he intends to provide him with; in any case, I would interrupt this ridiculous deal at the slightest other intervention on his part.

If he thinks he can cheat, he would have underestimated me too much.

At the same time, Alvine's voice sounded near her.

"Elena, if you manage to defeat her within thirty seconds, I will let you fish whatever you want from my own collection. But on the other hand, if you fail, I will seize all your possessions for eternity!"

Rendy's brain briefly blanked as she heard Alvine's words.

'...He's not serious!? What does he think he will accomplish by shouting such bullshits!? Unless his goal is to disconnect me to...-

She suddenly stops after noticing the atmosphere becoming heavier than it was.

This pressure, which was probably a harbinger of the problems, came from none other than Elena.

"What's the fuck you just said!?" Elena growls as her eyes turn wildly.

'She's not serious!?' Rendy had the impression that her world was collapsing around her as she saw her assumptions decline in the face of the new reality that was sneakily manifested in front of her.

The most incredulous thing was that she did not see an aura around Elena, a fact that showed Elena did not use her magical energy.

'What is this...-

Before she finished her sentence in her thoughts, Alvine's hard voice sounded again near.

"You only have twenty seconds left, Elena!" He 'encouraged' her once again.

The latter's eyes became those of a demoness of hell while Alvine's words resonated in her mind like a war drum intended to encourage a soldier.

-BOOM!

She drops her large and heavy sword before cracking the joints of her fingers.

Seeing Elena being 'possessed' by the demon of avarice, Cindy also became serious.

'I'm going to put an end to this madness.' She said to herself pointing her palm towards Elena.

But the latter, despite the enormous pressure that forced her to stay on the ground, disappeared in front of her most phenomenally.

At that moment, it was not only her but neither Rendy nor Alvine was able to see Elena.

They were unable to follow her speed.

Known for her calm, Rendy betrayed her temperament as she inspected every corner around her to hope to see where to feel Elena's exact position. "She teleported!? No, I didn't see her using her...-

Alvine cut her off in mid-sentence. "Do not get tired; when she is in this state, it is not only her strength that multiplies, but all her overall power."

"What!? You mean that... that..." After several attempts, she could only feel the surrounding air agitating around her while having the strong impression of having Elena a few centimeters away from her.

Seeing Rendy stutter, Alvine smiled ironically.

"I return your words to you; forfeit as long as your sister is still alive."

-B000000M!!!

When Alvine uttered these words, something heavy impacted Cindy's body, sending her to waltz above the clouds.

Rendy's hands tremble with fear when they see her sister being dragged by something blurry.

But before she really knew what had just happened in front of her, the entire planet trembled fiercely under their feet following the impact of her sister who was lying in her own pool of blood in a crater of hundreds of depths.

Such a crater on a planet that could not even be scratched by a primordial mage undoubtedly testified to Elena's destructive force.

In the same second, Alvine and Rendy finally saw Elena above the clouds. And it was by seeing her standing in this place that Rendy understood she was the culprit of her sister's misfortune.

'...She restrained herself.' Alvine mutters in his mind while looking at his subordinate with his hands stained with blood that did not belong to him.

The next moment, Elena shows long claws on her fingers before diving towards Cindy who was trying to get up.

But her sore body, with 99% of her bones fractured, could not accede to his request.

"That's enough, Elena."

When Alvine's voice, pronounced frantically, reached her ears, she was already in Cindy's crater with her claws driven into Cindy's chest.

Alvine could not see beyond what the eye could see, but Rendy had a paler face than that of Sebass (vampire).

But seeing Elena's silence and inaction, Alvine frowns. 'This is not the time to let her get lost in her madness.'

Although he is aware of the seriousness of the situation, he does not act but looks at Rendy next to him.

"Without my energy and magical skills, I have no chance of defeating this little Hamster. Just like you, the races, which you call the divine races, are all endowed with unique skills. Me, it's my shadows, but Elena's race is a warrior race.

-Like her father, she does not rely on her magical skills to kill her enemies but to have fun with them. Finally, her skill is a little more special because of her mutation.

-Instead of Berserk, she’s rather a Valkyrie; a skill that allows her to boost her physical power by a level a hundred times more advanced than magical reinforcement.

-If you plan to watch your sister die in front of you, then be it. But if not, forfeit before it's too late."

His words had the same effects as an energetic potion that awakened Rendy in her daydream.

"..."

Despite her silence, Alvine made the unilateral decision to interrupt the duel, which had not lasted more than fifteen seconds, by seeing Rendy bleed from her fist squeeze while she retained her desire to join the battle to "revenge" her sister.

His shadow then wobbles under his feet, making a black pendant appear in his palm.

'So, …he was able to use his magical energy all this time...

Rendy did not seem to be surprised although to saw Alvine manifest his energy. She only looked at Alvine's actions with an air absorbed by Elena's intentions.

Alvine's body then flashes before reappearing in the crater.

But he soon frowns when he sees Elena’s eyes.

By noticing the intruder, the wild beast with the appearance of Elena intimidated him with her eyes.

But instead of being tetanized by her wild eyes, Alvine smiles at her slyly as if he were looking at a puppy trying to intimidate a dragon.

He continued to approach her before stopping a few centimeters from her.

He then lowers his body to her level and mutters while putting the black crystal pendant around her neck.

"That's enough, I tell you."

Elena's eyes gradually lost their glimmers of madness as the necklace shone with a dark black glow around her neck.

'What is this pendant? A servo necklace?' Standing thirty meters from them, Rendy mutters in her mind while frowning.

But not knowing what she was thinking, Alvine personifies the healing pearl before placing it in the hole that Elena had left in Cindy’s chest.

(Meanwhile, Assi, who had just attended the whole scene, was no longer with them, but on her way to the castle with a very specific goal in mind.)

After a few seconds that are equivalent to five blinks, Cindy was able to recover from all her mortal wounds as if they were only an illusion.

In addition to having her own body regeneration, coupled with Alvine's assistance, none of the four found this exceptional.

But as soon as she got up, she tried to fight with Elena.

On the other hand, Rendy's voice sounded heavily in her mind, explaining Elena's unexpected innocence and her deal with Alvine that she had just lost.

Gradually, Cindy’s face turned blue as she understood the seriousness of the situation.

Anyway, knowing that she was largely the culprit, she did not know who she should lead this anger.

This had the consequence of creating a feeling of disgust and shame that changed her face to green.

Having an idea of what was happening between the two, Alvine sighed nonchalantly before getting up from his knees.

He looks at Rendy while explaining everything.

"Your sister was defeated within the allotted time, so I am the one who wins this bet."

Rendy clenches her fists while holding her torrential breath in her lungs.

Without taking into account her emotions, Alvine continued. "In normal times, I would be the one who would emerge victorious."

"...What do you mean by normal times?" Rendy frowns with confusion.

"... it's simple to understand, the deal was that I stay away until the end of their duel. But even if I intervened to save your own sister, I still intervened. As a result, I broke the rules. And since I intervened to save your candidate, I cannot, therefore, be held responsible or obliged to submit." He stops for a moment while taking a look at Cindy, who throws the same confused eyes at him.

"To make it short, there is no winner or loser in this duel, which makes this match a tie. You are, therefore, free to leave where you come from."

"What!?" Hearing his words, it was not only the two twin girls who took him for an idiot, even Elena had trouble understanding his unexpected and thoughtless clemency.

"Elena, you will have your due as promised." He said without giving too much explanation.

"I know that; but still, don't you find it too much...-

"Elena." Alvine stops her with an intrepid voice which shows his impatience.

Seeing his growling air, Elena slams her tongue not towards Alvine, but towards the two silent girls who were silent; unable to respect their agreements.

Alvine then casted a portal before withdrawing, followed by Elena.
