Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

1/3

"You're harming her! Have you thought about what if it fails? We could have found a better way through repeated experiments and tests!"

It was rare for Dian to speak with such strong emotions. Although the phantom image opposite him understood, he still shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Dian, not everything is like your spell research, where you can explore and gain experience through repeated attempts. Some determinations will only lose courage as time is delayed."

"Moreover, we don't have much time left. Lordan's wicked blood is even more powerful than I imagined. It has already developed an addictive nature among the Demon Realm. Once other demons truly form a dependence on the wicked blood, we may not call ourselves the Demon Realm anymore, but uniformly... the Wicked Demon Offspring."

"Therefore, to resist Lordan and find the source of the wicked blood, the pendant in Eileen's hand is the last hope."

"Fortunately, since the pendant can flicker, it means my guess was correct. Lordan indeed hasn't obtained the true Demon King's fate track, or at least he must be missing a certain part."

"Judging from the degree to which Lordan values Eileen, hmm, it's very likely that the key part of the Demon King's fate track is on Eileen's pendant side."

Listening to the phantom's analysis, Dian's anger subsided a bit. He nodded, giving affirmation:

"The existence on the other side of the pendant, even I need to look up to his level of magical power. They could even directly take away the control of the spell when I initiated the teleportation. I can feel his strength, definitely not inferior to the current Lordan, and..."

Dian paused for a moment, but quickly continued, "It may be my illusion, but I feel that the other party also seems to be in a hurry to summon Eileen?"

"Oh? There's such a thing?"

The new information from Dian surprised the phantom a bit, but this was undoubtedly good news that made the Demon Realm excited.

After all, the other party was both powerful and willing to accept Eileen.

At least the little succubus's safety was ensured.

Then, now they were only one step away from success.

They had done so much, and their ultimate goal was actually to hope that this "new Demon King" would be willing to declare war on Lordan for Eileen and for the liberation of the Demon Realm.

And declaring war on a race, especially a terrifying existence like the Demon Realm, was obviously very different from sheltering a little succubus.

However...

While the Wisdom Demon phantom was still trying hard to think about what strategies and methods to use to induce and so on...

Dian's attitude was a bit subtle.

"Regarding this point, I think you don't need to worry at all, Leo."

"What do you mean?"

"Because the existence on the other side of the pendant is already in absolute opposition to Lordan."

"Hmm?"

At first, Leo didn't react to what Dian meant.

What did it mean to be "in opposition" already?

And with such a definite tone of "absolute"?

But after all, he was a Wisdom Demon. After two or three seconds, Leo's phantom suddenly fluctuated violently, enough to see the changes in his emotions.

Next, the Leo phantom widened his eyes and said in a tone of disbelief, "Wait, you mean the dimension that summoned Eileen is... is..."

"That's right."

"It's the world that Lordan is going to invade and destroy next, the human world."

After confirming this fact from Dian, the Wisdom Demon was a bit stunned.

When he went to search the Sorcerer Demon's room earlier, he had secretly praised Dian for making the teleportation so seamless, modifying the coordinates at the last moment.

This way, Lordan's suspicions could be completely eliminated.

After all, the next world they were descending upon was the human world. Sending the succubus there, wasn't that like a sheep entering a tiger's den, adding feet to a snake, a superfluous move?

But...

Who knew that it wasn't Dian who modified it at all, but the existence on the other side of the pendant, the one who truly possessed the Demon King's fate track, was in the human world!?

Leo even had reason to believe that the other party's identity might be... a human.

Was it strange?

Of course it was strange!

How could a Demon King be human?

But thinking from another perspective...

Did the Demon King really have a race to speak of?

The Demon Kings they had summoned in previous generations were all kinds of strange. Summoning a human, who should have been the target of destruction, this generation seemed to... make sense?

Moreover...

In this way, just as Dian said, the new Demon King had no choice but to confront Lordan.

Even if the little succubus didn't go over...

It was a battle of life and death between the two races, destined to leave only one standing.

This solved his most troublesome problem.

As for caring about the Demon King's race?

One could only say that Leo now hoped that the new Demon King was human, had to be human. Only then could he fight Lordan to the death and lead the entire human race to battle against the Demon Realm.

It was truly ironic.

Not only did the new Demon King fail to gain the assistance of the Demon Realm, but he even had to be enemies with the Demon Realm. This was his dereliction of duty, the result of his incompetence.

Leo felt immensely guilty, but he knew that now was not the time for self-blame. While there was still some time before they descended upon the human world, he had to hurry and modify the plan.

His primary goal must be to act as an inside man and help the humans defeat the Demon Realm. Only then could Lordan's rule be overthrown.

And the secondary goal...

Leo had to consider that even if they succeeded, would the humans, as the defeated side, pose a threat in turn?

He could prepare very little in this regard.

It still depended more on the attitude of that human Demon King.

And the human Demon King's attitude towards the Demon Realm ultimately came back to—Eileen.

It still depended on the little succubus.

The fates of the Demon King and the succubus were always intertwined.

Leo couldn't interfere either.

In the end, the Wisdom Demon could only silently speak in his mind.

Eileen, you can do it!

…

At the same time...

The little succubus, in whom Leo placed high hopes, currently knew nothing.

She didn't know the destination of the teleportation on the other side, nor the attitude of the new Demon King. She wasn't even sure if there was a new Demon King. All she had was confusion, anxiety, nervousness, and fear about the future.

With all these uneasy emotions, finally, Eileen emerged from the chaotic currents of space. As the light in front of her eyes finally dissipated, the dizziness from the teleportation disappeared. The little succubus opened her eyes.

And with that first glance upon opening her eyes...

Eileen almost jumped in fright.

H-Humans!?

She was now in a dark underground chamber.

There was only a strange glowing divine statue.

In front of the statue stood a young man.

Behind the young man were three humans wearing what seemed like religious attire.

Although Eileen had never seen humans before...

As the next world Lordan was going to invade, Eileen at least had some understanding of humans.

For example...

Humans were all very weak!

Very feeble!

All cannon fodder among cannon fodder!

Right!

N-No, I don't need to be afraid!

The little succubus obviously thought that something had gone wrong with the teleportation.

This place didn't seem to have... a Demon King who was as mighty and tall as I imagined, like the Great Demons.

Eileen kept comforting herself.

Be strong!

It's no big deal!

To think positively, even if the teleportation failed, at least she had escaped from Lordan!

Moreover...

If she could conquer the human world one step ahead of Lordan, then she could use the power of the humans to help her reclaim the Demon Realm!

Yes!, Let's do that!

Eileen, who was getting more and more excited, quickly broke free from the frustration of the failed teleportation. She immediately flapped her wings and flew to the top of the Radiant Goddess statue in the room.

Next, the little succubus, looking down from above, waved her pitiful little finger at Reji and the three Radiant Great Elders below, and said in a childish voice:

"Y-You humans... listen up!"

"I am Eileen, the great Succubus Apostle. I have now descended here and hereby declare that I will... will..."

The little succubus racked her brains. After all, this was her "descent declaration," and she had to say it in a domineering way. It would be best if she could make these cannon fodder humans terrified without fighting and directly submit to her.

For Eileen, the most domineering statement she could think of from her limited succubus knowledge was undoubtedly...

The little succubus's eyes lit up as she had an idea.

She straightened her back and said loudly:

"I'm going to... conquer you all!"
