Succubus Queen

The word [Succubus] was floating right above the woman’s head.

If you don’t consider it a monster, the information window won’t appear.

Just in case, I tried it, and it worked.

“….”

I trailed after the [Succubus].

If I follow her, I’ll find her hideout, right?

Should I kill them all?

Is it okay to kill them?

<I>

[Skilla]

[Is it okay to kill Succubi, are they monsters?]

I sent a text, but there was no reply yet.

Thud, thud.

The sound of the [Succubus]’s footsteps.

Thud, thud.

The sound of my own footsteps.

Was it because I was walking without hiding?

The [Succubus] must have sensed someone following her because she started walking faster as she turned the corner.

‘She doesn’t have to run that much.’

I don’t kill all monsters.

Besides, that [Succubus] was weak.

I had no intention of fighting an opponent who didn’t want to fight. But what if I killed that [Succubus], and she was hiding her true identity? I imagined the counterattack when she ambushed me.

I imagined how to cut down the [Succubus] in front of me.

Each time, the [Succubus] shuddered and hurried her pace.

“….”

“….”

No matter how fast she walked, it was no use.

Then.

“….”

“…Hic.”

The [Succubus] turned around.

Americano was wearing a magic robe and had pulled her hood down.

The hood was enchanted to deepen the shadows, and she had to wear it because otherwise, she would stand out.

That’s why.

The [Succubus] started running in earnest.

I hoped the [Succubus]’s hideout was at the end of that street.

“Here!”

The [Succubus] shouted.

Turning the corner, the [Succubus] hid behind the men in the alley.

No information windows appeared for the men.

The guys sitting around like thugs were all Heroes.

Their eyes gleamed at the [Succubus]’s call for help, and they blocked my way.

“Do you know who we are?”

“Are you still going to fight after seeing this?”

The Hero showed a crest.

The crest of the [Demonic Cult].

They were enemies.

“…Hiss!”

“What’s with that look?”

“You guys help too!”

“That’s a high level!”

[Killing Intent] flashed in my pupils.

The parts of the Heroes that were easiest to kill came into view.

Without warning, I drew my sword, and the Hero in front swung his sword.

I snatched the sword,

Cut him down with that sword,

Leaving the Polygon-ed Hero behind,

“Haaap!”

“Pathetic.”

Cut,

Cut,

Cut,

Cut,

One slash per Hero.

Of the eight Heroes, three remained.

Two took the [Succubus] into the alley, and one blocked my path, but after dealing with the Heroes, I understood.

“Hoo.”

I lowered my sword.

Let it go from my hand.

“Are you surrendering?”

“Surrendering my ass.”

“Yo…?”

Spin.

Americano instantly flipped the Hero’s body 180 degrees.

Grabbing his arm, she slammed the Hero’s head hard against the alley floor, as if driving down a giant mallet.

‘They’re not even worth using a sword on.’

I chased after the [Succubus].

Another Hero along the way.

“You’ll never get past here.”

“….”

Just as I was about to punch my way through.

I realized it when I saw the raised left fist.

Come to think of it, I had the Bronze Arm.

I swung the Bronze Arm as it was, shattering the Hero’s sword and neck bones with a hand strike.

As the Hero turned into a pile of Polygons, I looked at the fingers of the Bronze Arm.

‘What abilities did each finger have again?’

The index finger had the power to concentrate the flow to the pointed location.

The middle finger?

The ring finger?

No information window appeared.

How unfriendly.

Anyway, the [Succubus] didn’t go far.

I found her at a dead end.

A dead end.

A Hero was groping the [Succubus]’s chest and crotch, molesting her.

I deliberately made loud footsteps.

“Don’t come here!”

“….”

“I’ll cut you if you come closer?”

“….”

I turned my back to the [Succubus] and drew my sword.

I extended my index finger and used the power of the Demon.

“Huh? Uh oh?”

The Hero floated upwards.

I put strength into my index finger.

I added Magical Power, but,

“Kkeuaaak.”

I couldn’t exert enough force to crush a person.

The power of the index finger was weak in direct physical force.

I withdrew the power.

As soon as the Hero touched the ground, he jumped up and thrust his sword.

“….”

“You son of a bitch.”

I caught the tip of the sword with my index finger and thumb.

I kicked up and struck his abdomen.

A kick imbued with Magical Power.

[Destroying Heaven Kick]

The Hero bounced away, scattering Polygons in the alley.

“….”

“..Hic. I, I’ll let you do whatever you want with me, just spare my life.”

“…Who said I was going to kill you.”

The [Succubus] sat down at the dead end and looked up with fearful eyes.

In Americano’s eyes, the invisible [Killing Intent] glared at the [Succubus] as if it would kill her immediately.

I closed my eyes.

Opened them again.

The [Killing Intent] faded.

The [Succubus]’s information window flickered as if it was about to disappear.

No, gradually, the information window maintained its original state.

I showed her the ring.

[Succubus Queen’s Recognition].

“Ah…”

Her eyes changed.

“You’re a guest?”

“I want to meet the Queen. Take me there.”

“Yes!”

The [Succubus] led the way down the alley, telling me to follow her.

The [Succubus]’s hideout was a surprisingly decent mansion.

No, was it not a hideout?

It was the Succubus Queen’s house.

The [Succubus] led Americano to the mansion and spoke with the maid in the mansion.

The [Succubus] who guided me disappeared, leaving the maid behind.

The maid bowed her head.

‘Is she a Succubus?’

An information window was about to appear.

I needed to develop more skill to make the information window appear.

“May I see the ring?”

“….”

I showed it.

She took it and examined it.

“It’s genuine.”

The maid stepped aside, guided me inside, and went up the stairs to the upper floor of the mansion where the Queen was.

And the office.

“The Queen is here?”

“Yes. But before meeting the mistress, I think you should correct your prejudices.”

“Prejudices?”

I tilted my head.

“Yes, prejudices. Summoned Heroes primarily associate Succubi with prostitutes.”

“….”

Well, yeah.

Because they’re Succubi.

“But Succubi are no different from humans. You should see them as one of the countless races. A lineage born with the ability to manipulate Dreams.”

One of the races.

“Well, they look the same as humans.”

“They are human.”

Is that the world setting?

“Yes, you shouldn’t have prejudices.”

Honestly, I thought the Succubus Queen would be the madam of a brothel.

The [Succubus] I met on the way asked the Hero to stop me in exchange for her body.

‘Hmm…’

The maid knocked on the office door.

Permission to enter was granted.

Then.

Ding.

A text message arrived.

<Skilla>

[They are the cancer of humanity, eating away at humans. They are demons who seduce humans, so don’t be fooled even if they say they are human!]

Blink.

Once after seeing the text from Skilla.

Once after looking at the maid.

And.

“Welcome.”

Once after looking at the [Succubus Queen].

I blinked once each time.

The [Succubus Queen] was no different from a human. She wore a dress with a deeply cut chest, like a noblewoman from medieval Europe.

My gaze was drawn into the deep valley of her huge breasts.

I see and touch even bigger ones every day, but I was unconsciously mesmerized by seeing someone else’s.

Her appearance was, of course, pretty too.

Her waist was slender.

But,

‘She’s not better than me.’

I somehow felt like I had won.

The [Succubus Queen] put down the pen she was holding. She received the [Succubus Queen’s Recognition] from the maid.

“You received Inos’s recognition. He’s a picky one, how did you manage to get it?”

The [Succubus Queen] rolled the golden ring in her hand and examined it.

“I am Nanos, the Succubus Queen of Dwarfneer. Since you have received Inos’s recognition, I will treat you as a VIP. But before that, how about taking off your hood?”

Come to think of it, I was wearing a hood.

I took it off.

[Succubus Queen] Nanos’s eyes sparkled and widened.

“Beautiful.”

“….”

“With that face, it’s understandable that you hide it.”

Nanos returned the golden ring to the maid, and the golden ring returned to Americano’s hand.

“By the way, what should I call you?”

“Just Americano is fine.”

“Americano. What a pretty name.”

“More importantly, I came here because I want to ask you for a favor. If you grant my request, I’ll give you something good.”

“Give me something good?”

“Yeah.”

“What is it?”

Americano only rolled her eyes around.

“Your lives.”

The ceiling, the walls, the floor, and the maid.

The [Succubus Queen]’s guards sprang out all at once from all directions.

The daggers they extended aimed their tips at me.

I quickly reached out with my hands and feet, knocked away the daggers, and confiscated the daggers from the guards. The daggers spread wide between my fingers like a magician’s cards.

The guards?

They all returned to their positions.

They returned while extended,

The legs of the [Succubus Warrior] embedded in the ceiling shook weakly.

Nanos commented as she looked at each of the guards.

“Strong.”

“I am strong. But it’s just that these guys are weak. Why don’t you keep stronger ones by your side? I thought it would be fun to fight since you’re a Queen, but it seems like I’m just bullying the weak.”

“For the honor of the children, I must say that the children you just defeated are stronger than most knights.”

“Really? Weak.”

“….”

I sat on the back of the sofa nearby.

I thought I would get to fight if I came to the [Succubus Queen], but what is this?

[Succubus Queen Nanos]

Red letters.

The [Succubus Queen] I was most looking forward to was just red, and even then, Nanos was an administrative manager who didn’t know the first thing about combat.

No, was she a CEO?

The title didn’t matter.

Anyway, her fingers were more trained than her arms.

“So? What favor do you want to ask of me?”

“It’s easy. If you all step aside, there probably won’t be any damage, right? Rather, I don’t understand why you’re cooperating with them. What are you getting in return?”

“What are you talking about?”

I said it in an easy-to-understand way.

“Dream Demons. They seem to be running rampant, so I’m thinking of destroying their world altogether. Cooperate.”

“….”

“You won’t cooperate?”

“…Is there any hope?”

“There is.”

“How?”

“I can teach you, but promise me on your pinky first.”

“…I will.”

Americano smiled brightly.

She held out her left hand, the Bronze Hand.
