Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 730 Succubus Sister (4-in-1)

"Your Excellency Diev, please tell me, where did these things come from, and what is their connection to Kaham?"

After Roy finished explaining, he glanced at the distorted and bizarre "contact book" again, then his expression turned serious as he asked Diev.

"It is with the disciples of Kaham."

It was discovered that they had illegally contacted demons and performed forbidden sacrificial rituals.

Diev said.

"As you know, the academy's management of wizards is actually very lenient. Whether or not to contact demons is just a formality."

But the bottom line cannot be crossed, nor should it be crossed.

Certain forbidden experiments can cause harm to everyone, and once discovered, they will be severely punished.

But since this involves high-ranking wizards, we must be cautious and not wrong any of our colleagues.

After all, it's not easy for the Wizard Tower to train a qualified wizard..."

Roy wanted to roll his eyes, but he held back: "So what does the academy plan to do?"
"Without solid evidence, it wouldn't be appropriate to search their residences and interrogate their disciples, would it?"

"Of course, we should first hold an inquiry meeting, order them to honestly explain the whole story, and see if they cooperate before making any further decisions."

"never mind."

Roy didn't ask any further questions. He was only called over to identify the "Sacrifice" runes because he was proficient in Abyssal language and it involved academic matters.

However, it was later discovered that the academic affairs office had indeed conducted some routine checks on the members of the Kaham School.

The Wizarding World doesn't actually prohibit its wizards from interacting with forces like the Abyss and Hell, and even the Achinira faction doesn't interfere.

All regulations and taboos are "management rules" for junior wizards and apprentices.

High-level wizards are already "citizens of the universe," and can go to any faction.

Those above the rank of Grand Wizard are "managers," so how could they possibly be subject to these restrictions?
Therefore, even if it is confirmed that Kaham has defected to the Abyss, the handling of the situation will be cautious.

But just as Roy was speculating about the real reason, he learned of a follow-up investigation result that surprised him.

"Kaham did not defect, but was ambushed by the Abyss Lord."

To be precise, she was manipulated by a spy sent there by an alliance, and fought a mutually destructive battle against the abyss lord she served!

"Why are spies being dragged into this?"

Roy asked in surprise.

"The Abyss is a powerful force. We are both enemies and friends with the lords there, so it's normal for us to send spies."

Diev told him.

"Not only that, we also have deployments in various churches, in hell, and in Achiniera!"

"Who exactly is that spy, and how could he be so capable?"

Roy was genuinely curious.

Kaham himself is a high-level wizard, and the lord is also a level three being.

It's really not easy to navigate among them!

"Her name is Elena."

Diev had done his job very well; he had found out everything.

"What! Elena?"

Roy was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

"Is it the Elena I know, or is it just a coincidence that they share the same name?"

However, he did not reveal anything and left Diev's place first.

……

A few days later.

Diev obtained the files through the Alliance, and Roy, through his personal relationship with him, inquired a little to satisfy his curiosity.

It turned out to be the Elena I knew!

The records show that Elena was an outstanding elite from her apprenticeship days.

She was born into a noble family of earldom in the Old World. Her father was obsessed with restoring the glory of his ancestors and spared no expense in rigorously training his daughters from a young age. When they reached the appropriate age, they were sent to the Mysterious Island to join the Witch Tower.

Unexpectedly, a trace of his bloodline talent was actually awakened, making him a summoning wizard known for his ability to control canine magical beasts.

Melina's Hellhound Contract was actually obtained by her.

Back then, when she had just been promoted, she was already consciously grooming her younger sister, preparing to turn her into a capable subordinate.

Her own future path was not like that of most wizards who stepped out into the outside world and went directly to the battlefield, or chose a wizard's territory to learn and advance step by step. Instead, she entered the Abyss Legion under the arrangement of the Alliance, and relied on the bridges built by the former powerful people to penetrate into the Abyss.

Roy felt that this was somewhat like the world of Aster, where the situation was complex and intertwined in certain dimensional battlefields, creating the possibility of mutual infiltration.

The abyss is a chaotic place, but precisely because of this, it is full of infinite possibilities.

With her outstanding talent, a bit of luck, and the powerful figures she successfully befriended during her apprenticeship, she rose rapidly and established herself there.

Unbeknownst to him, he had advanced to level three more than 20 years ago, becoming a newly promoted Abyss Lord.

The alliance had contacted her many times during this period, and she agreed to all the various mission arrangements without hesitation, behaving extremely appropriately.

Therefore, they have always been regarded as undercover agents and have been given rewards and support.

But unexpectedly, they dared to plot against the high-ranking wizards here.

He even took care of his lord, "Hakerev," along with him.

She has now used her intelligence to turn the tables and successfully rise to power, becoming the new master of "Hakerev Territory"!
"Actually, according to the alliance, they were to send someone to contact them and discuss the possibility of further cooperation."

She has now proven her worth and is no longer the same person she used to be. For the sake of the bigger picture, it's impossible to easily push her to the opposite side; instead, we must regain control!

Diev told Roy.

"Wow, Elena is amazing!"

Roy was genuinely impressed by this.

It's important to know that abyssal demons are all chaotic and evil creatures, large, strong, and fierce, needless to say.

She was able to survive and thrive in that kind of environment.

I wonder how much suffering and hardship they will endure...

In short, he is definitely not a simple person!
Moreover, even if it was just a fluke, it's still a good thing.

She rose to prominence and became a lord in just over 180 years, truly a case of hardship turning into happiness, and living a life of value that attracted others.

Even those lawful, good, and righteous forces that do not compromise with evil will not easily call for the killing of such people.

Because that could come at a considerable cost.

While Roy was thinking, Diev suddenly asked him a question.

"The academy plans to send someone over there to try and retrieve Kaham. Someone needs to contact Elena to discuss the redemption..."

The preliminary agreement is that you will be sent there.

Are you willing to accept this task?

"Ok?"

Roy was slightly surprised.

"There's no need to resort to violence to resolve these kinds of issues, but a certain level of strength is still required."

"You've been to the interdimensional battlefield before; you should be more than capable."

Diev said.

******
"Elena? You mean Melina's sister?"

Shortly after.

The monk's mansion, in the main hall.

Roy summoned his subordinates Artia, Prandelle, and Nisa for a meeting, briefly explaining the cause and effect of the matter.

The three women couldn't help but turn their gazes to the ghostly figure beside them, Melina, who had become a beast-like evil spirit.

Having lost many parts of her soul related to emotions and memories, she has now fallen from grace and become a demon, hovering in the air as if no one else is there, her translucent body emitting a faint glow.

Her body maintained a dual form of half-human and half-dog. Her back, knees, and the area below her elbows were mostly covered with snow-white fur, resembling a wolfhound. Her pointed ears stood up, and her amber beast eyes gleamed coldly.

Her upper body, face, waist, abdomen, thighs, and shoulders still retained the fair and delicate appearance of a young girl.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, she listlessly played with her half-human, half-beast canine paws, her fluffy tail flapping stiffly like a broom.

"Ok?"

Seemingly sensing the attention of the crowd, she turned her head to look at them with a hint of confusion.

But soon, he went back to biting his fingers and continued playing happily.

Roy patted her head with animal ears: "That's basically the situation."

I truly never expected that after more than 170 years, I would hear news of her again!

"So, do you want to accept the mission?"

Artia looked at Roy with a hint of doubt.

"The academy shouldn't force you to do something like this."

"Why not?"

Roy smiled slightly.

He was knowledgeable, a skilled fighter, and had even had an academic rivalry with Kaham.

As the academy's leadership, they may have taken these relationships into consideration when they sent themselves to rescue Kaham and change the relationship between the two.

"I'll just go to the abyss and pull him out."

However, before that, it is indeed necessary to thoroughly study Elena's information and make adequate preparations.

Everyone nodded.

Just by looking at their resumes, you can tell that this kind of person is cunning, talented, and physically strong...

All of them are top-notch.

This is dozens of levels higher than what Tuval provided Roycreo mushroom mother stock and cultivation technology in the orc world.

……

After some time.

August has arrived.

Roy officially accepted the mission and headed to Elena's territory.

Prior to this, both the alliance and the academy had made some efforts to try to keep Elena in line and secure an opportunity for negotiation.

Their intention is to resolve the issue through negotiation as much as possible.

Because Elena not only held Kaham's soul hostage, but also successfully established herself in the Abyss and occupied a territory.

This could potentially serve as a bridgehead for the Wizarding World to attack the Abyss or other worlds, thus possessing considerable strategic value.

It is said that the Abyss has infinite levels, its planes are constantly expanding, and it is very convenient to reach all kinds of material worlds.

They successfully occupied a relatively stable location and ruled over all the living beings there.

It can be described as quite a success.

“Mathetis, you shall follow Lord Kiric’s instructions.”

Before leaving, Diev brought along Kaham's disciples.

The second-level wizard looked slightly haggard, but still respectfully bowed to Roy.

He was somewhat surprised that this matter would fall into Roy's hands.

"There's no need to say anything more; the academy's mission is the priority."

Roy nodded and offered him a reassuring remark.

Then, taking Artia and Anjali with him, they stepped onto the teleportation array.

This time, they used physical "interdimensional teleportation" instead of "astral projection" on a spiritual level.

Because the Abyss is one of the "destinations of souls," similar to other planes such as Heaven, Hell, and the Underworld, it possesses the characteristics of devouring and retaining souls.

Under the influence of the laws of the planes, if one stays there for a certain period of time, one will be watched by the abyss, bringing all sorts of unnecessary trouble.

Similar to how living souls go to the underworld, those who exceed their reincarnation period are left behind and become spirits of the dead.

What Roy did in the Endless Wilderness: Garden of Beasts actually carried similar risks, but because his soul level was extremely high, his ability to withstand risks was much greater than that of ordinary people.

Moreover, that place was far less dangerous than the abyss, and I went there alone, so I could use any means at my disposal.

This time, we need to bring others along, make contact with Elena, and bring back Kaham's soul.

He didn't want to reveal too much.

……

After a while.

The magic array was activated, and radiance flowed.

Roy and the others disappeared from their original spot and soon arrived at a certain level of the Abyss Plane.

According to the knowledge of "plane studies", the Abyss is called "Infinite Layer of Abyss", which is composed of many layers, each ruled by a different demon lord.

The layers are usually connected by spatial rifts or natural portals, but their locations are constantly changing.

They are the gathering place of all ugliness, evil, and chaos, with countless kinds of evil corresponding to endless levels, each spiraling downwards.

Some religious scriptures believe that they are generally divided into 666 layers, so 666 is often regarded as the number of the devil.

But that's ancient history. Through countless years of expansion and absorption, the actual number of layers may be far greater than that.

Its horror and cruelty far exceed what most people can imagine.

Roy felt that this was somewhat similar to what the scientific world calls entropy increase.

Ultimately, the entire universe will return to heat death.

When the struggle between order and chaos reaches a certain ultimate moment in the future, the legendary "heat death," the entire universe will instantly fall silent.

However, that's too far off. Right now, everyone is facing the challenge of a harsh environment.

The blood-red moon hung above the sulfurous clouds, its dim, oil lamp-like light casting a somber glow on everyone's faces.

The ground ahead was riddled with honeycomb-like holes, from which poisonous mist reeking of rotting flesh was spewed out from time to time, and the sound of flesh tearing could be faintly heard.

That was a horde of cowardly demons tearing apart the flesh and blood of the defeated.

"Fortunately, the environment here is quite nice, and it's peaceful and tranquil."

Seeing this, Roy and the others were quite satisfied.

Some levels are filled with lava and sulfurous fumes, while others are perpetual darkness, filled with terrifying screams, and even the air is highly corrosive.

Compared to places like that, this place is simply wonderful.

Ignoring the cowardly demons who looked up, Roy led Matteis and the others and flew forward.

A moment later, a dark yellow beam of light shot into the sky, guiding them in the right direction.

That was the castle that Elena occupied.

She has now inherited the territory and wealth of the powerful figure she once relied on, becoming the master of that castle and the land she governs.

******
Soon.

The open space in front of the castle.

Roy and the others saw a charming and beautiful figure standing there with her servants, waiting.

He recognized the other person at a glance. "This is Elena?"

Elena's face was as beautiful as a young girl's, with an innocent smile that seemed to have no guile whatsoever. She stood there quietly, like a pure white lotus.

However, her purplish-red eyes, her skin as pale as porcelain, and her lips as red as if they had just been licked with blood...

Especially her long, thin whip-like tail with a small red heart-shaped end revealed her true identity.

She had already fallen from grace and been reborn as a succubus!

"Under the influence of the laws of the Abyss's will, certain souls will be molded into succubi."

For example, men and women who were obsessed with lust and skilled at manipulating people in their lifetime...

She gained this power by offering her body and soul as a sacrifice to the lord of this level, 'Hakkaleif,' promising to remain in the abyss forever as his mistress and plaything.

Therefore, at the moment the vow is fulfilled, the type that is transformed is a true abyssal succubus.

But according to the information, she somehow managed to maintain her consciousness…

As Roy looked at the other person, he silently recalled what he knew.

Normally, demons are chaotic, evil, twisted, and perverse.

High-level demons may not be unintelligent, but under the influence of the plane's will, they tend to be distorted, insane, and unable to remain calm.

Therefore, they give the impression of being unintelligent and impulsive.

They are often dominated by emotions and possess extreme violent or destructive tendencies.

However, it is precisely because of this chaotic randomness that some special cases often occur.

According to rumors of unknown veracity, some have discovered benevolent demons in certain levels of the abyss who adhered strictly to the rules and regulations, even more like saints than saints themselves. Others have defected to the second level of hell and become lawful succubi.

What about the obsessive-compulsive unclean demon, the snake demon who's afraid of snakes, the fire demon who loves to bathe...?

That's even less surprising.

"Welcome, Your Excellency Kirick!"

Elena walked up with a charming smile, her eyes sparkling, her gaze fixed on Roy, who had a handsome face.

This made Roy wonder if Diev had been lying to him before.

Could it be that the college leaders thought he was handsome enough to keep Elena in check, which is why they sent him here?

Everyone has a love for beauty, and even succubi are no exception.

Sending a handsome, high-ranking wizard to negotiate is better than sending an ugly one.

"I had heard before that the Alliance would send a special envoy to discuss the matter of Kaham with me, but I never expected it to be such an incomparably handsome gentleman. This is truly..."

It makes people happy!

She smiled softly, with a hint of something indescribable.

Small scene.

Roy felt nothing; in fact, he almost laughed.

"Your Excellency Elena, before we begin formal negotiations, I would like to confirm His Excellency Kaham's condition."

"The night is long, we have plenty of time, why be in such a hurry?"

Elena clapped her hands, and a host of alluring succubi appeared around her.

These were all the former harem of the demon lord "Hakerev," but now they are all under Elena's jurisdiction.

Each of them possesses extraordinary charm, and under the influence of the will of the abyss, they display beautiful faces and enviable figures that conform to the aesthetic standards of others.

"Hmph, you dare to show off your meager skills before an expert!"

Roy brought his followers Artedia, Angari, Mathetis, a disciple of Kaham, and several other white-robed deacons from other academies with him.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

But in an instant, Roy put on hypnotic glasses in his soul.

The extraordinary charm of "The Love of Narcissus" attracted the attention of all the succubi.

Succubi are capable of luring their victims into a state of arousal and draining their energy through direct, forceful kisses. Victims must possess a strong will to resist this allure.

But at this moment, the clash of all extraordinary charms was decided in an instant.

They seemed stunned, staring at Roy with his stunningly beautiful face, completely captivated by him.

Knowing full well the dangers of charisma, Roy rarely displays this ability to his fullest extent.

But at this moment, he stopped suppressing himself and released his emotions.

This bewitched these succubi, making them lose their minds and waver in their resolve.

Elena's expression changed instantly.

Even she herself felt an irresistible allure emanating from Roy.

For no apparent reason, her face flushed red, her fair cheeks burning as if on fire.

"You guys step back first."

Sensing that things were going to get out of hand, she had no choice but to suppress her inner turmoil and wave the succubi away.

The succubi seemed reluctant to leave.

However, she possesses their true names and the authority of a lord.

The spell of mental lashing was secretly cast, and they were eventually driven away.

"Useless slut!"

Elena cursed under her breath.

But having lost this confrontation, she had no choice but to admit defeat.

So, he obediently led Roy and the others toward the dungeon.

"Angali, be aware of your surroundings..."

Artedia whispered a reminder.

This is their territory.

If we encounter any traps or mechanisms, we might get into trouble.

However, as envoys of the alliance, they all have powerful backers behind them.

Elena didn't dare to go too far, resorting to succubi and other petty tricks.

Especially after losing a previous encounter, they dared not make any rash moves.

Having survived for so many years in an abyss filled with violence and slaughter, her ability to read people and adapt to changing circumstances is naturally quite remarkable.

Soon after, the group successfully arrived at the depths of the dungeon.

This is a mysterious place filled with a sweet and exotic fragrance. Under the dim light of an oil lamp, the ground is covered with the bone plates of some unknown creature, and fossils of intertwined men and women can be seen everywhere. Faint, inexplicable chanting can be heard in the air.

Kaham's soul was imprisoned in the deepest part, sealed with strict restrictions.

When everyone saw him, they found that the wizard had been tortured to the point of being emaciated.

His hands were chained, long chains passed through his collarbones, and his clothes were completely removed. Succubi lay scattered around him.

Hearing the noise, the succubi who were resting got up and quickly bowed in greeting.

"Ok?"

Kaham seemed to notice something and opened his eyes to look over.

"He was already seriously injured, so not much of his soul energy was extracted..."

It still possesses over 1000 degrees of spiritual power, and its high-level wizard rank has been preserved.

Elena introduced it quietly.

This is to show that they haven't gone too far and there's still room for negotiation.

******
Roy didn't completely believe what she said, but instead investigated it himself and asked Kaham telepathically.

"How are you doing?"

"Just as she said, there was no level regression..."

But I really didn't expect it would be you, Lord Kirick, who came to my rescue.

Kaham's lips twitched slightly, and he said with a hint of dejection.

Matthias was filled with regret.

If I had known, I shouldn't have come in.

Seeing the teacher in such a disheveled state, I wonder how much trouble he'll face when he goes back home!

But it was too late for regrets now, so he could only send a message to Kaham to offer some reassurance.

Kaham nodded slightly, but his gaze was fixed on Roy.

He also knew that the key this time lay with the other party.

The academy should have already set a specific price; the bottom line is in his hands.

To what extent the negotiations can proceed depends entirely on the other party.

"I'll leave it to you."

Roy didn't say anything more and turned to leave the dungeon.

Above the castle, in the council chamber.

Roy and Elena each sat at one end of the long table and began formal negotiations.

"Now, you have used Kaham and other demon suitors to kill Hakkelev, break the contract, and rise to power."

This means we've established a firm foothold here.

Everything has gone as planned, there's no need to keep Kaham around and cause trouble...

"You are joking. Regardless of the gains or losses in the past, I earned them all by myself. What does it have to do with anyone else?"
"His Excellency Kaham is in my hands; that's a fait accompli. If you don't acknowledge that, then there's really nothing for us to discuss."

"Then let me put it another way."

You may seem to have turned the tables and are now riding high, but in reality, you're surrounded by enemies.

Challengers within the territory, invaders from other realms, and all sorts of powerful figures coming and going, along with the alliance's hostility...

We can't handle any of them.

As a newly promoted Tier 3 individual, one must ultimately rely on strong individuals and powerful forces.

"You don't need to worry about that. I've been able to establish myself here for many years. Do you think I don't know that I need to curry favor with the powerful and find a backer?"
To be honest, I have now pledged allegiance to the Succubus Queen of the sixth level of the Abyss, Lady Setana Sukubus.

That was a seventh-level main god, a being comparable in rank to an ordinary plane. Even within the entire Abyss, including Hell, it was considered incredibly powerful!

"Ok?"

Roy was slightly surprised.

Setana Sukubus...

He had indeed heard of this ancient succubus god.

If Elena does find someone to rely on, she may not be able to rest easy, but it will certainly be enough for her to establish herself here.

From a more realistic perspective, expanding to any level beyond the 666th floor, creating a new territory ruled by succubi, would be quite valuable for such beings.

He could easily bring them under his wing and provide them with support and assistance.

However, even Setana's influence is limited among the lower-ranking New Territories.

Roy knew that the other party was just using their name to make a big show of things, and that he might not be able to get much substantial support from them.

So he said, "The ancient great gods are preoccupied with things like planes, laws, and origins; they couldn't possibly devote much attention to the third level..."

"Is that so?" Elena said dismissively. "I also know quite a few lords in other realms and have a lot of summoning contracts in my possession."

You mean being summoned to serve them, right?

Roy silently complained to himself.

But one has to admit that this is indeed a very powerful relationship.

Succubi rise to power by selling their bodies and souls, enabling them to quickly climb the social ladder and forge many powerful relationships.

Even if Elena says she knows some legendary demon lord, or even a demon lord from hell, it doesn't matter.

Even I find it hard to refute.

Who knows if that's true?

There's absolutely no way to rule out this possibility!

He could only mutter sarcastically, "You're really something, managing to get involved with so many lords while serving Hakeleff."

(Don't think I don't know your background!)

After a heated exchange, the two sides gradually figured out each other's cards.

Elena is indeed in a somewhat awkward position right now. On the surface, she seems to have turned the tables and is full of pride, but behind this lies a precarious situation with enemies on all sides and numerous crises.

Being an Abyss Lord isn't exactly a secure title. It's like some minor kings, some of whom are at a weaker level, like level two or even level one!
How dare they call themselves lords!

Those grass-roots kings, countless of them die every day; their lives are as worthless as grass.

What she is pursuing now is not even gaining the recognition of the Abyss's will, but rather securing her current position as lord and truly ruling this realm.

Only after a period of stable rule can one seek further advancement.

For example, conquering other planes of existence, or tempting souls to fall into depravity.

That was to align with the will of the abyss, gain its recognition, and thus obtain a legendary destiny, possessing further channels for advancement.

Elena's trump card is that the League and the Academy both need her!
Otherwise, why waste words with her?

Send a top-tier high-level wizard, or even a great wizard, and they can wipe them out directly!

No matter how proud she was, she had to admit that the powerful figures in the wizarding camp could easily wipe out countless insignificant characters like her with a flick of their fingers.

Therefore, the willingness to negotiate itself demonstrates an attitude.

"The academy will offer three high-level treasures and the 'Otherworldly Summoning' that summons high-level wizards to aid in the war in exchange for your release of Kaham."

It can even help you secure your position as the lord of the 'Hakeref Territory'.

But you also have an obligation to provide dimensional beacons and help build a cross-dimensional teleportation array.

At the same time, as interdimensional beings, succubi often have the opportunity to be summoned to the material plane to interact with various beings.

In the future, you must provide the Alliance with at least three undiscovered world coordinates…

Ultimately, Roy, taking into account various factors, offered his terms within the range of the academy's bottom line.

"Okay, I agree."

Elena pondered for a moment, and as expected, wisely decided to stop while she was ahead, not daring to bring up anything further.

Once the general framework is set, the remaining details are what kind of treasure it is, what the conditions are for summoning it, how far into the future it will be, and what world coordinates it will be.

But none of this was difficult to negotiate, and Roy quickly completed the contract with him and got Kaham out.

He remained calm and instructed Atedia, Matteis, and the others to protect the other party, but then suddenly asked a question.

Do you still remember your sister Melina?

"what?"

Elena's expression suddenly changed.

"What... do you mean?"

Roy stretched out his finger and stroked the Ghost Beast Ring.

Then, he summoned Melina in her beast-like evil spirit form.

　A new month begins, please vote for me!
