King of succubus

245 Ancestral beasts. 2

Inequality exists everywhere in the universe. Even before a person is born, he will be confronted with these inequalities. Being born into a noble family is already an advantage given by parents. Being born with magical talents is an advantage given either by a lineage or by a heavenly blessing.

That is why people called geniuses would probably become garbage cans if they were born on a low-ranking planet or with an elemental bloodline; it is also reciprocal for a garbage can without talent or luck if it was born in a family or on a planet with advantageous conditions...will become a genius!

But this saying is all the more true when it comes to animals. Contrary to what most people think, hierarchy exists everywhere, even in the wild. A magical beast that belongs to the common species will have no chance to defeat a beast that belongs to the noble species.

And these noble beasts are also called the ancestral beasts of the supreme goddess!

Among these beasts, there are the red dragons, the bird vermillions (Phoenixes), the black turtles who are known for their infinite wisdom, and finally, the white tigers with red fangs. Common standards cannot judge these four species of monsters’ powers.

They are certainly not as strong as the primordial beings who have been at the top of the hierarchy since their creation. Still, these ancestral beasts have appeared with extraordinary forces far exceeding those of high-level divine mages. Their direct descendants are born with an overwhelming force comparable to that of low-ranking divine mages!

...

"Linn, why did she invoke so many enemies? I know she likes to test my limits, but now... she really overestimates me by believing that she could defeat such monsters on my own. Well, since that's how it is, don't call me a cheater who asked for reinforcements." As he spoke these words, his shadow rose behind him and formed a large wall more than thirty meters long/wide!

He pointed Kimiko, who had regained his previous form, towards the ten ancient beasts, whispered coldly...

"Get out!"

At the same time, his shadow soldiers walked out of his shadow wall, and all knelt behind him.

"My lord, we listen to your orders," Luna spoke on behalf of all his subordinates.

Alvine nodded slightly without changing her expression while his hands couldn't help but tremble.

But contrary to what the beasts imagined, it was not fear of fighting against enemies powerful. Still, instead, he had difficulty retaining his excitement in the face of the bloody battle he had never experienced before, which was about to start between him and the ancient beasts.

'Just like Seabass, I can't measure their levels. But I still know they haven't the same auras as Sabrina or Linn, even if they have extraordinary power! Five red dragons and five vermilion birds. In my current state, if I survive after such a battle, then reaching the divine rank will not be a problem.' He said to Himself, frowning at the overwhelming power of the ten ancient beasts.

Not to mention defeating such monsters in his current state, he was not even sure to beat his present enemies to his full potential.

That is why, when Alvine, for the first time, saw one of these descendants of ancient beasts in front of him, he instinctively recognized that these beasts do not come from this planet; it does not matter if this planet is a planet formerly belonged to the giant race.

"She’s crazy; I would never have thought that this Linn had such a good relationship with the ancient beasts." He murmured to himself as he stood bravely in front of all his shadow soldiers, who were like natural calamities behind him.

One of the red dragons stood out from the others and drove out the three divine tigers with a simple look. And after that, the red dragon looked straight into Alvine's golden eyes with his cramoisy irises.

"So this’s the human that our two empresses want us to capture?" He asked in a booming tone as he looked at one of the vermilion birds that seemed to be the other Phoenix birds team's leader.

"Yes, in all likelihood, he is the person our leaders would like to meet. And I ask you not to forget crucial information, General Balakh; you have no right to intimidate or be unpleasant to him as long as he does not refuse to cooperate and follow us gently." The vermilion bird gave this warning when she saw the arrogance of the red dragon in front of Alvine.

Whether the red dragons or the phoenixes, they were all about fifty meters tall. This difference in size was so imposing that Alvine and her shadow soldiers looked like ants in front of them.

But the latter did not flinch or step back.

"To capture me? Kuku~, so, even the ancient beasts known for their neutrality and nobility cannot be indifferent in front of me?" Alvine asks in an angry tone.

At that moment, he instantly guessed that these guests had nothing to do with Linn.

...

Alvine was not wrong in effect, just like his hypotheses, not to mention causing this problem; Linn did not even know that her little hostage was currently in danger. The latter was still dizzy in front of the shredded corpse of Alvine's last victim and had not yet noticed the animals

"How the hell is that possible? An emperor mage who kills a divine beast in a single attack? The more I learn about him, the more I am convinced that this aberration will be able to reach the primordial rank. Is it so obvious that...hm?" But before she finishes her words, she suddenly frowns as she looks in Alvine's direction.

"By all the devils!? Fufu~, I expected everything but that. So these arrogant red lizards decided to go out into their cellars even though they were neutral even during the war? I will die of regret if I miss such an unprecedented show." At the same time, she teleported herself.

...

On Alvine's side, when the head Phoenix heard his words, the temperature of the snowy forest dropped drastically, instantly evaporating the snow under her anger.

"Kakak! Have you ever forgotten the advice you just gave me, Lady Sestia?" Balakh intervenes immediately, noticing Sestia's anger. Even if his actions looked arrogant and mocking towards his ally, Alvine guessed his hidden intentions were to appease Sestia’s mad.

'They are smarter than any beast I've met so far. How interesting it is.' He said to Himself while remaining alert.

"Tsk, let's finish what we have to do before it's too late. I don't know if I could keep my cool by seeing such an inferior being disrespecting our empresses."

"Indeed, it is clear that he does not intend to follow us obediently. Since this is the case, we have no choice but to take him by force. Sigh, It is already a shame for us to come in such large numbers to capture a simple human; let's finish as soon as possible; we do not have the right to make our sovereigns wait any longer." Balakh replied with a faint sigh.

"And who will have the courage to steal what belongs to me?" At the same time, Linnaelle appeared calmly in front of Alvine.

Balakh and Sestia's disdainful smiles immediately faded when they noticed Linn in front of them.

*Don't worry. As long as I'm with you, these arrogant beasts won't be able to do anything to you.* Linn reassured Alvine by telepathy.

*Tss, stop talking nonsense. And one last thing, you have no right to interfere in this battle!* Alvine stopped her immediately before she ruined everything, as usual.

*Fufu~, yes, can you count on...hm?! What did you say?* She could keep her cold blood because she thought she had misunderstood Alvine's words.

*You understood me very well, don't forget that the cause of our presence on this planet is to help me overcome my bottleneck. To do this, fighting against one of them is necessary if I would achieve this goal. So can you please wait a moment until the end of this war of usury?*

*...You still don't think you can defeat one of them, do you?*

*I've never said that. I just said that I need to fight against people stronger than me to be able to progress. The beasts on this planet are too weak for this; do you understand now?*

*hmm, okay, I understand.*

Alvine: *Sigh, so much the better.*

As usual, their exchanges did not last more than ten seconds.

Balakh frowned when he saw Linn stand proudly in front of them. "Kakak, how pathetic it is! What does it change if another ant stands in our way?"

But unlike Balakh, Sestia was not as enthusiastic as he was. His body was suddenly enveloped by a halo of vermilion flames, forcing anyone except Linn to look away.

"Sestia vermilion, the first lady of the Empress of the vermillions, salutes her majesty the Queen of Space." At the same time, a sweet female voice resonated inside the halo as Sestia transformed into his humanoid form.

Hearing this voice, Alvine looked in the direction of its origin with a frown. He was not surprised to see Sestia in a human form, but it was because of her blatant resemblance to other normal humans.

'If she hadn't transformed before me, I would have sworn that she wasn't a beast. Having such mastery is an unprecedented achievement.' He said to himself, looking at Sestia, who was now dressed in a red kimono with white flower patterns.

Whether it was her long hair that did not get dirty despite being on the floor after she knelt in front of Linn, her thin eyebrows, or even her lips, they were all in vermilion reds. Its delicate beauty was more in value and harmony thanks to its sparkling ruby pupils that kept switching between Alvine and Linn with disbelief.

'Sigh, The mission is a complete failure. Among all the others, why did we have to meet her?! For the love of the goddess, since when have we become so unlucky?!' She said to herself while frowning with her red eyebrows.

"W-What? How can this human female be this crazy woman?! Lady Sestia, are you sure of what you're saying?"
