Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

"Eileen, Come here "

Reji patted the bed, inviting the succubus to sit back down.

He then earnestly answered Eileen's confusion.

"You're wrong, Eileen. On the contrary, I think you're beautiful, exactly my type," Reji said as he took the succubus's soft hand.

This was the truth.

He absolutely didn't want Eileen to change herself into something bizarre to fit the majority of demonic aesthetic standards.

Eileen's face flushed with Reji's compliment, and her previous inferiority seemed to vanish like a sigh of relief.

However, she couldn't help but continue to ask, "Then why my king still refuse..."

"Because I don't want to take power from you at this moment" Reji said, gently stroking the succubus's hair.

As mentioned before, the dual cultivation ritual with a succubus is essentially a sacrifice on their part to serve the Demon King in the early stages, even if the Demon King himself is powerful. This tradition must be followed.

Moreover, after the initial ritual, the succubus would fall into a long period of weakness.

Reji used this point to persuade Eileen.

"Among the nine apostles, you are my only one, my most trusted apostle, my...woman"

"I need you to conserve your strength. If there is a betrayal among the apostles, I need you by my side, I need your strength in battle."

Reji did not hesitate to say the most affectionate words.

Sure enough, Eileen was completely taken by being described as "the only one" and even directly being called a "his woman" If there were an attribute panel, her intelligence would probably drop by half.

And the reason Reji gave afterward made sense.

If Eileen previously thought the idea of "apostle betrayal" was utterly fanciful and impossible,

After enduring a thousand years of torment and this very "unpleasant" new Demon King summoning ritual, plus being swayed by Reji's sweet nothings, she was indeed convinced.

"My king, I understand now" Eileen finally nodded.

The succubus then nestled into Reji's arms, sniffing his scent deeply as if to compensate for the halted ritual, clinging to Reji's clothes, and said tenderly, "Rest assured my king, Eileen will always stand by your side, no matter what happens!"

"Eileen will also keep the initial ritual for you until our demon race is completely stabilized."

"But"

"Please, my king, promise Eileen not to let me wait too long, okay?"

Gazing down into the succubus's sincere eyes while cradling him in his arms, Reji made a solemn vow,

"I promise you."

Using "the revival of the demon race" as an excuse, he temporarily persuaded Eileen, but in reality, Reji's thoughts were far from it.

After all,

'The revival of the demon race?'

In the grand finale of the first playthrough, like all beautiful fairy tales, as the child of destiny, the hero who saves the world, he ends up becoming partners with the Holy Maiden, rebuilding their post-war homeland together.

The new Holy Maiden, Reji's many-times-great-granddaughter mentioned earlier, comes from this lineage.

So, theoretically, a large part of the human world a thousand years later should belong to his and the Holy Maiden's family legacy.

This is different from Earth. When "individual martial power" can crush a nation, maintaining a family's prosperity for a thousand years is not difficult.

Moreover, although for Reji, the first round was just a game, he indeed witnessed and experienced the tragedy of the continent being invaded by demons, with all living beings suffering greatly.

Reji does not want such tragedies to happen again.

As the best proof.

Reji once again spoke to the succubus in his embrace, who was like a docile little lamb.

"Eileen, if we win, how would you treat humans? Or rather, do you have any plans for our counterattack?"

Hearing the Demon King bring up serious matters.

Eileen immediately sat up from Reji's embrace.

She stood by the bed again, changing from the previously delicate and shy succubus demeanor to a face filled with coldness and hatred, returning to her identity as a demon, as an apostle.

"My king, Eileen will capture all the queens and princesses of the kingdoms, transform them into succubus, and let them serve our demon race in disgrace before their subjects!"

"Eileen will also seek out the descendants of the original human savior, the so-called 'Child of Destiny,' and make their lives worse than death, to avenge our mothers, with blood for blood!"

"For this, Eileen has prepared. Please rest assured my king, once our counterattack begins, any human military forces, nobles, and even the high ranks of the church will become subservient to you. I, Eileen, will personally train them to be dogs, slaves only to my king.

Then, your majesty won't need to lift a finger to take them down and wash away our race's shame!"

Eileen, in the end, had deep hatred in her eyes.

Filled with hatred towards humans.

This is both the natural opposition between demons and humans.

And also because Eileen's mother, father, the previous generation's Demon King and succubus apostle, were both killed by the Child of Destiny, dying tragically at the hands of the human savior.

This is not just a conflict between races.

For Eileen, it's a deep-seated vendetta between loved ones.

Reji remained silent.

Because it was as he imagined.

Eileen's approach to conquering humans was the same as the previous generation's succubus in the game.

Reji remembered clearly that one of the main countries fighting against the demons had a very wise queen and a sagacious king.

This royal couple was very kind to him in the game, helping him grow and facilitating many conveniences.

But later, they were seduced by the previous succubus apostle, and the wise king ended up killing his beloved queen with his own hands one night, becoming a servant at the feet of the succubus, leading the entire country to defect to the demons.

Later, as the protagonist, Reji personally defeated this king bewitched by the succubus.

Before dying, the king regained his senses, realizing he had killed his beloved wife and brought such tragedy to the nation, chose to commit suicide. Before his death, he gave Reji, even under the succubus's spell, the ring of true love he had always treasured with the queen.

And this ring, Reji always had equipped on the protagonist, helping him resist many negative buffs and providing a lot of support in battle.

That's why Reji remembered this tragic story so vividly.

And because of this.

"Eileen, I, won't allow you to do this."

Reji blurted out.
