Magic Chronicles : Fallen RaceChapter 37 Lonely, So Lonely.
In the Demon King’s chamber within the Chaotic Rift, Eileen, who guards the empty room alone, lies on the great bed that belongs to the Demon King.
The Succubus stares at the large empty space on the bed, a strong sense of loneliness filling her heart.
Although she has been sealed in the Chaotic Rift for over a thousand years.
She should have been accustomed to it.
But why.
The king has only left for less than half a day, and now she hates the Chaotic Rift so much that she can hardly stay here for even half a day; she wishes she could leave now… return to her king’s side.
“Sigh”
Eileen looks out at the gloomy sky of the Chaotic Rift through the window, sighing in her heart.
She knows this is impossible.
The task the king gave her was to guard the rear.
All she can do is to execute her king’s orders well, supervise the other apostles, and then, miss and bless the king, wishing everything goes well.
‘So’
“What is my king doing now?”
‘Has he encountered any danger in the human world?’
‘Is that old witch, Shermen, protecting my king properly?’
‘No, Shermen must protect him well!’
‘After all, I gave the “Demon Pattern” to Shermen!’
Even in sleep, Shermen has to stay by the king’s side, not leaving an inch!
Eileen suddenly imagines this scenario.
In the middle of the night in the room, the Shadow Demon hangs upside down above the demon king’s head.
Although it’s indeed a bit strange.
Indeed, it’s hard on the demon king.
But this is what Eileen wants.
‘Otherwise, what?’
‘Shermen strips naked and lies next to the king?’
‘Hahaha Nice joke’
‘That position can only belong to me, the Succubus Apostle Eileen, and I she will not allow other demons to touch him!’
However
“Hmph!”
Eileen understands Shermen, so she is very sure that even if Shermen, that block of ice, were given ten thousand chances, she could not do such a thing.
Not to mention, the Shadow Demon doesn’t have the habit of sleeping in a bed at all.
Just the thought of that old hag actively taking off her cloak is impossible, after all, Shermen hasn’t been seen taking it off much in tens of thousands of years, so why would she take it off this time?
What if the demon king’s request?
That’s even more impossible.
Initially, facing herself, a delicate Succubus who had just passed a thousand years old and was in her prime, the king didn’t ask her to strip naked, so how could he possibly ask an old witch of tens of thousands of years to strip?
“Impossible”
“Absolutely impossible!”
It is with such confidence that she was willing to give the Demon Pattern to the Shadow Demon.
Although she is relieved at the bottom of her heart.
But this unbearable feeling of loneliness has not eased.
“Ahhhh”
Eileen on the bed can only clutch Reji’s used pillow tighter to her chest, bury her head into the mattress Reji had once sat on, and take a deep breath.
“My King”
The increasingly uncontrollable Succubus begins to fantasize about the pillow in her arms as Reji, her slender legs starting to squirm, clutching the pillow tighter, and starting to rub it unintentionally as her tail started to move to her private area.
Just when her emotions were intense, a sudden knock on the door interrupted Eileen.
Initially annoyed, the Succubus’s mood shifts upon hearing the demon servant’s report outside the door, saying that Lord Leo, the Wisdom Demon, has returned. Eileen immediately perks up, quickly tidies up her disheveled clothes, and dashes out of the room.
Spreading her wings, she flies towards the void passage and spots Leo and a human following the Wisdom Demon.
Eileen, who was initially pleased, suddenly changes her expression.
With a stern face and a gaze filled with disgust and hatred, the Succubus coldly glances at the human and immediately questions the Wisdom Demon, “Leo, what is the meaning of this human? Who allowed you to bring a human here?”
“Give me an explanation immediately.”
“Otherwise.”
Eileen raises her hand, and a thorny whip is summoned, ready to lash the terrified human into a pulp.
“Calm down, Eileen.”
“This was approved by the demon king.” Ꮇ√ᒪΞϺƤҮƦ.ϲⵔᎷ
Hearing that it was Reji’s decision, Eileen, though puzzled and frowning, quickly retracts her whip.
Leo then quickly explains everything that happened, including the third-tier scroll at the auction, the inferior healing potion, and the egg discovered inside a priest of the Radiant Church.
Initially, Eileen, upon hearing how weak humans had become and that the millennium-long legacy had been broken, is filled with joy and, like the Sorcery Demon before, is eager to attack.
However, as Leo continues, mentioning the “egg” and the bizarre demonic creatures born from it, Eileen’s brows furrow once again.
There’s no reason for Leo to lie about such matters.
“Eileen, I know your hatred towards humans is the greatest among us, but regarding the world a thousand years later, we’re still in the unknown, and we first need to figure out who our real enemy is.”
‘The real enemy. Who is it?’
“What do you mean, Leo?” the Succubus asks, puzzled.
The Wisdom Demon shakes his head, holding the dried skin of the “egg” in his hand, thoughtfully saying, “We’ve all fallen into a misconception. Who decreed that the world’s masters a thousand years later… still belong to humans?”
Seeing Eileen silent, Leo quickly smiles, somewhat easing the serious atmosphere. He voluntarily reports the matter of utmost concern to Eileen.
“Don’t worry Eileen, no matter what the world becomes, his majesty is very safe. Shermen is always with him, and we have all witnessed his majesty’s own strength. And above all that, his majesty’s insight is also beyond our reach.
Without his instructions, we wouldn’t even have noticed this parasitic egg within a human’s body.”
Towards the end, the Wisdom Demon even seems a bit emotional.
“Our new demon king is like an endless treasure, the more we explore, the more surprises we find.”
“As for you, Eileen”
“Why did the king, with his deep and far-sighted plans, not bring you along for the descent, merely asking you to watch the rear?”
“Reflect on that yourself.”
“If you remain complacent and refuse to change, then sooner or later, you will be left far behind by his majesty, unable to catch up with his advancing steps.”
After giving his advice to the Succubus, Leo left with Azno, leaving Eileen behind with pursed lips and a complex expression.
The Wisdom Demon’s last words struck a great blow to the Succubus. She understood the hint from Leo.
Her hatred and disgust for humans, her inability to control her emotions, wanting to kill at the sight of humans and engaging in rampant slaughter, were her greatest flaws, causing much trouble for the king.
‘Change? Change!’
Eileen clenched her fists.
..
After leaving the Succubus’s side, Leo headed towards the marshland where the Decay Demons reside.
And Azno by his side… The owner of the Lunari Trade Group was already dumbfounded.
‘Where is this?’
‘Why do all these “people” look so strange? Why do so many “people” along the way drool at me as if they want to eat me alive?’
‘No… No, no, no! These are not people.’
‘The… They are’
‘Demons!’
‘The demons from ancient history and myths a thousand years ago!??’
“Mr. Azno, as the first human to come to the Chaotic Rift, what are your thoughts?”
Observing humans was Leo’s objective.
Leo didn’t mind having a chat with Azno.
“Sir… you guys, I… you guys”
Seeing that Azno was stuttering so much he couldn’t even speak, Leo shook his head regretfully.
“Mr. Azno, don’t be nervous. Among our demon apostles, Eris is relatively more approachable, and her attitude towards humans is much better than Eileen’s just now. You don’t need to be too scared.”
Eileen’s murderous aura indeed scared Azno quite a bit, but Leo’s reassurance somewhat revived him.
‘Right!’
‘Demons are not, not scary! In mythological stories, weren’t demons easily defeated by humans? And there are many in the demon race who look similar to humans.’
Like the previous Miss Eileen, although fierce, was indeed very beautiful, even from a human perspective.
So, the next Eris…
Seemingly reading Azno’s thoughts, Leo’s voice sounded from beside.
“Miss Eris is as beautiful as Eileen.”
Hearing Leo’s words, Azno immediately imagined a blonde-haired, blue-eyed bear-like beauty of a demon in his mind.
‘What, what the heck!’
‘Surrendering to the demons is not, not possible! In the legends from a thousand years ago, wasn’t there also such a “traitor”?’
Azno kept comforting himself.
Even transitioning from fear to a bit of excitement.
Until
“Heeheehee~, did Brother Leo come to see Eris?”
“Heh~ and you brought a small gift as well.”
“Eris can smell it, nee nee. The scent of Eris’s favorite gift, it has been so long hehehe~~”
