King of succubus

426  The return of Askald and Elena.

Alvine's eyes became more blood-red as he scolded Zakiel.

But seeing the others become tense, he exhales a hot breath. 'Sigh, let's calm down; that's not how I'd make them understand the situation. By imposing my point of view in this way, I'd not be different from my former self.' He mutters in his mind while calming down.

He then looks at Zakiel, who, despite his iron will in the face of anything, seems stiff.

"Zakiel, I apologize for scolding you like this when you are not informed about the current situation."

"No, my lord. You only told the truth! We are at war; this fact changes all!" Zakiel kneels immediately to repent of his sins.

Alvine frowns. "Since you come from a mission, you have probably not yet learned about recent events through your clone.

-In short, I've to be absent tomorrow and attend a war council that will take place in the enemy base. I don't know what they are preparing, but I want to make sure that nothing unfortunate will happen during my absence."

Alvine's explanations were worrying enough to darken the faces of two-thirds of the people who were with him.

"I don't know if they intend to take advantage to storm this planet in my absence. But despite this worrying hypothesis, I cannot miss such an opportunity to learn more about our enemies." He then continues while taking a look at the others who were going out through the gate.

With these additional explanations, silence set in.

Time unhurriedly passed but at a fast pace for those who attended the scene.

After two hours, Alvine and Shadow finished the evacuation of the other residents to the original planet.

Apart from Alvine and his troops, the others who came from dimensions floated in the sky and were divided into groups; to differentiate them -- With Fy had also joined the group to which she belonged.

Alvine looks at the crowd as far as the eye can see above him with blank sights.

But just before he spoke, his clone appeared next to him.

"A problem?" He asks nonchalantly.

But unlike the others, his clone gives him an icy look. "Dear me. You must surely know more than anyone the hell I went through, don't you!?"

"Ugh, I had to attend the meeting. So I had no choice but...

He interrupts Alvine. "No, I know it was to avoid boring tasks that you found this excuse. But to help you speed up tasks for the good of us all; I did not hesitate to sacrifice myself."

"...The word sacrifice is...a little exaggerated," Alvine mutters with a bitter smile.

"Is that so!? In that case, how would you describe it!?"

"Uh! Okay, you can go rest!" Alvine mutters by finally canceling his clone; even if it was reluctantly.

'Sigh, the good news is to learn that others are like the other Fy. No matter how much I check and recheck, I didn't find anything strange or different with their souls. The most incredulous is to learn that they have no links with Isolet. This forces me to believe that this phenomenon hides more than I know.' He puts his thoughts in order before focusing on others; more precisely a male elf and a middle-aged old man, who had long hair, a black beard, and two sharp horns.

'In any case, the most important thing is not to know how to manage these guests. But to find a good manager for this task.'

"Aries and Torus, get closer." Even if his voice was not high enough, everyone could hear him because of the silence.

Aries was the former leader of the ice elves, who had served Alvine before his hibernation.

As for Torus, just like Aries, he's also the former king of dragons.

But instead of two people, ten stood out simultaneously and landed in front of Alvine.

"It is an honor to see you safe and sound, Your Majesty."

Seeing the scene of two Fy reproducing before him, Alvine massages his left temple so as not to succumb to headaches.

"To begin with, each of you will be assigned a second name to prevent future confusion." He expresses himself in a heavy voice looking at the five Aries and Torus in front of him.

'Just like with my old squads, it's better to give them nicknames of this kind.' With this idea in mind, he focuses on others.

"To put it simply, you will bear the name of your respective dimensions to prevent confusion. Residents of the first dimension will bear the name of Alpha in addition to their name. Beta for the second; and Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon for the last. It's not graceful but you have to keep until we find other solutions." He made this distribution quickly.

-HOOH!

The vibrations emanating from the voices of an army with countless numbers were imposing enough to resound in every corner of the globe’s surface.

Seeing this, he nods focusing on Torus Amd Aries.

He then took out the two crystals which enclosed his two monarchs.

"Torus Alpha, do you know what these crystals are?" He asks the Torus which was in the first dimension.

The latter nods. "Yes, your majesty. In the past, we assisted you to seal your two subordinates; Lady Elena and her twin brother, Sir Askald."

Hearing the answer he wanted to hear; Alvine looks at the nine others with questioning eyes.

Seeing them also nod to support Torus Alpha's words, a little sneaky smile stands on his lips.

"Alright, in this case, let's start the process of rupture." He then orders and looks at Amelia.

The latter also approached without further delay.

'The seal placed on these two crystals can only be broken by the blood of the three sovereigns and I included. I had sealed these two with the blood of these extras on purpose. My enemies will never think that; let's hope that the rest will go as well.' He mutters in his mind before biting his thumb and dropping a few drops of his blood on the two crystals.

Following his act, Amélia, Tours, and Aries Alpha did the same.

-Crack, Crack,...

In appearance, the two crystals began to crack as soon as they received the four different types of blood. But the next moment, runic letters came out on the crystals that gradually gained in size.

Alvine puts them on the floor before moving away from them by two meters.

-B000M!

An explosion of black aura instantly broke the two crystals, leaving only two black cocoons similar to the previous ones.

The second after, the cocoons cracked, finally revealing the two silhouettes familiar to ninety-nine percent of the people who witnessed the return of two.

'Heh, they haven't changed since time.' Alvine mutters while watching a naked woman standing in front of him with her eyes closed.

Her body and long red hair, which reached the bottom of her buttocks, were wet by the viscous liquid that was in the cocoon.

Just like her, Askald had long hair the same color as his sister; the two were about 210cm~.

Their tricorns looked like Alvine's, except that Askald’s were all black and bloody red for Elena.

After a second, the twins slowly opened their eyes, inspecting the environment with confusion.

But seeing Alvine standing in front of them, an erratic smile appears on their lips.

At the same time, Alvine's shadow wraps around both and makes them wear a black dress and a long black jacket.

Instantly, The two kneel in front of Alvine.

But Elena came ahead of her brother to speak.

"It is a pleasure and an honor to know that everything is ready." She said with fierce and insane eyes which couldn't hide her impatience.

Alvine immediately shakes his head. "No, Elen, We don't intend to go on a battlefield."

"Huh!? Why!?...-

"Askald, I noticed that your mind was always awake despite you being sealed. This means that you know some details about the current situation; am I wrong?" Alvine immediately loses interest in Elena, who seemed to give more importance to the fields than their reunion.

Hearing Alvine's question, Askald looks around him with steady eyes. "Indeed, I learned that this old man has allied himself with foreigners who are ready to exterminate us to the last."

"Ah, are you talking about your father? Does that mean that you had met him before?"

"...Not in person, but I was able to learn a lot of information about our enemies when the crystal in which I was sealed was stolen." He answers Alvine while looking at Isolet with dark eyes.

"Do you know how your two crystals landed in the hands of our enemies?" Alvine frowns when he sees Askald's hostile eyes toward Isolet.

"..."

"Well, Askald? Have you lost some of your mind during all this time?" Malaise sets in Alvine's heart when he sees Askald's severe air.

"My lord, I don't think it's wise to trust this girl." He then focused on Alvine and continued...

"Normally, I would have waited and done my investigation before accusing her. But at the moment, we hardly have this luxury."

"..." Alvine momentarily caressed his chin with thoughtful eyes that were focused on Isolet.

The latter became more nervous when she saw Alvine's eyes on her.

But Alvine sighs the next moment. "Isolet has all my confidence."

"...If you say so, I'll take you for words."

"For now, be happy to do what I expect from you."

Hearing Alvine's words. A mysterious smile emerges on his lips.

His long hair gradually became short red. He then nods before focusing on the newcomers.

"Follow me." He speaks in an authoritarian voice before disappearing in front of Alvine.

Simultaneously, the countless shadow soldiers and other races from different dimensions vanished in front of Alvine and the others as if they were only an illusion.

'...This guy will never stop surprising me.' Alvine mutters in his mind looking at the night sky above him with dark eyes.

'I did well to release him instead of taking care of these people. - He's more a butler than a monarch strategist when it comes to taking care of the paperwork.' He continued before focusing on Elena.

'It's a pity she didn't inherit some talent from her brother because of her obsession with war.

-at the end, she remains an outstanding strategist in moments of hard. Plus, she is stronger than her brother and has several arcana in her arsenal. Above all, she has a financial gestion talent that exceeds mine and her brother’s.'

With this brief silence, Alvine scrapes his throat before speaking out loud.

"Elena, instead of rushing to the battlefields, you have something more important to do here."

Elena frowns.

But knowing her temperament and similarity with Greed in another sense, a brilliant smile manifests itself on Alvine's lips. "We don't have enough resources to finance the war."

"...??" Her eyes darkened when she heard Alvine’s words.

But Alvine continued. "We don't have enough weapons or artifacts for our soldiers."

"W-wait...

"The worst thing about all this is the treasure room has no gold. Sigh, we're broke!" Alvine mutters without making an effort to hide his smile to dramatize the situation.

But he didn't need it, just by seeing Elena trembling and her fierce aura as if she was about to turn wild!
