Succubus.
A lowest-rank Demonic Species is said to appear in people's dreams to steal their vitality and bewitch them.
Depending on their gender, abilities, or lineage, they seed to call themselves various nas like Incubus, Succubus, or Nightmare.
But on the battlefield, the most common na we used was Succubus.
When we needed to specify gender, we'd just add female or male to it.
Anyway, to get to the point, this Succubus had also appeared in the Gateway Zone of the 131st batch before my Regression.
Because of that, the 131st batch of Hero Candidates was quite famous at the ti.
This was because the series of events that occurred when this Succubus infiltrated the 131st Gateway Zone caused the number of survivors from that batch to drop drastically.
Even in etings between Heroes, when I revealed I was from the 131st batch, I would get reactions like, "Oh, really?"
‘This is different from my past life. To think… she would use Kim Sia as a host.’
To briefly explain how the Succubus entered the Gateway Zone, it was as follows.
The Demon King's Army's strategist, searching for a way to inflict a major blow on the Allied Forces of The Order in the long War against Demons, took note of the phenonon where low-rank Magical Beasts were forcibly transferred to the Lower-Dinsional Plane whenever a dinsional Rift occurred.
Normally, it would be impossible for a single entity to interfere with a macro-dinsional phenonon, but the strategist of the Demon King's Army ca up with a brilliant move and succeeded in sending a single Succubus down to the Lower-Dinsional Plane through so thod.
The Succubus that descended to the Lower-Dinsional Plane then parasitized a human body to ascend back to the Gateway Zone.
The ultimate sche of the Demon King's Army was to use that Succubus to destroy the Order's magical device that maintained the Gateway Zone, creating a giant Sinkhole between dinsions.
Well, in the end, thanks to The Order's swift response, the catastrophe of the Gateway Zone turning into a dinsional Sinkhole didn't happen.
But in the process, the majority of the 131st batch of Plane Transcendents were caught up in it, causing the survival rate to fall below 10%.
That was the full story of the ‘131st Batch Succubus Infiltration Incident’ that happened before my Regression.
-A Succubus?
-What's a Succubus? Hey, isn't that guy crazy? She looks perfectly fine…….
-No… why would he do that to a perfectly normal person…….
-See! I told you, that bastard definitely has sothing up his…….
My sudden action threw the crowd into an uproar, but I didn't pay it any mind.
No, to be precise, it would be more accurate to say I couldn't afford to.
No matter how low-rank it was, a lowly species that lived by parasitizing a human body.
A Succubus was undeniably a Demonic Species with the blood of demons flowing through it.
Letting my guard down in front of such a Magical Beast was no different from madness.
It was then.
【Ah…….】
A low sigh escaping from Kim Sia’s throat froze the entire hall.
Whoosh—
It was just a simple sigh, but its impact was imnse.
Everyone in the once-raucous hall clamped their mouths shut, their vision blurring.
Even I, who had been anticipating it to so extent, almost lost my focus for a mont.
If I hadn't been circulating the mana in my body beforehand, I might have ended up like those people staring blankly into space.
【Fucking… annoying.】
An alluring voice followed.
The words that ca out of her mouth were incredibly vulgar, but the voice itself was so captivating that, for a mont, such thoughts didn't even cross one's mind.
[Warning! You are being affected by .]
[Warning! Your mind is being disoriented by powerful magic.]
The magic intensified in an instant.
The strength in my right hand, which was grabbing Kim Sia's hair, drained away without realizing it.
Slip—
【If you really don't believe , then go ahead and kill .】
The Succubus turned her body and looked up at .
Then, she raised her right index finger and poked the very center of her own chest, taunting .
Grin—
【Here. Try stabbing it, Mr. Seo U-jin.】
As if Kim Sia herself were speaking.
Mimicking her voice.
“……”
With those words, the surroundings fell silent.
Everyone in the inner fortress had long been bewitched by the Succubus, their minds vacant.
The Succubus and I.
The feeling that we were the only two beings in the world continued for a few seconds.
And at the end of that silence.
【Of course. There’s no way a re human could do such a thing…….】
“I will.”
I answered her demand.
[An overwhelmingly powerful ntal strength of unknown origin resists the demonic energy.]
