Chapter 20 Silica

Zero, Reno, and Aviz are in their respective rooms. They want to fight the monsters, but it will only cause trouble if they wipe out the monsters.

After 20 minutes, someone knocked on Zero's room. It's Diablo. He came in and said

"Master, the monsters I saw are Orcs, Kobolds, Werewolves, Wyvern, Ogres, One Elder Dragon, and two adult dragons. Their total number is about 20 thousand. Their leader is a Succubus Demon. I think she is a high-ranking succubus because she can even subdue an Elder Dragon."

Zero muttered 'Hmm, the town has at least 5 thousand adventurers. Ten of them are S-Rank. There are also the knights and the mages of the empire. I think they can fight equally plus they still have enough time to prepare for strategies.'

Zero called Aviz and Reno by using [Telepathy]. After a while, Reno and Aviz arrived.

"We will be going back home now. There is

no need to wait for tomorrow." Zero told them.

Then they activated [Conceal] to hide their presence.

They came out of the inn and they run to the city wall and jumped on it. They are now on the outside of the walls. They immediately find a secluded area and remove their [Conceal]. While they are walking Diablo spoke

"Fufufu, a mere Succubus dared to sneak attack on us?"

Zero, Aviz, and Reno also sensed the presence but Diablo is the first one to speak.

"Oh someone is capable of detecting my presence huh." Then the Succubus came out from the shadow. She is wearing a black dress. She has dark red hair, black eyes, glossy lips, a big chest, and sexy hips. With her beauty, she can easily attract most men.

Zero said to Diablo "You handle it Diablo. You can also remove your seal if you want."

"No, Master. This lowly succubus is not worthy of experiencing my fu-" Diablo stopped on his words when the Succubus attacked him.

"I am still talking. How dare you interrupt me?" Diablo said angrily.

Zero thought 'Oh shit, Diablo is angry. Rest in peace girl. But this Succubus is not normal. To think that she can hide her presence to that extent..'

Diablo and the Succubus are only using their physical strength while fighting.

"You and the two boys over there look good. Don't you want to serve a beauty like me? I'll give you the best experience of your life. And the girl with a hood, I know you are hiding a beauty." The succubus said in a seducing tone.

"Me? A Primordial Demon will serve under a weakling like you? My Master is the only one that can make me kneel." Diablo said.

"Hahaha. You a Primordial Demon? Stop dreaming. I'll stop holding back now." Then the succubus released a mist from her body towards Diablo. If you inhaled the mist, you will be fallen under the control of the succubus, unless you have a very strong mental resistance. As a Primordial Demon, Diablo is unaffected by the mist.

When the succubus saw that Diablo is unaffected, she increased the output of the mist. Zero, Aviz, and Reno were now reached by the mist. But they also have strong mental resistance so it's not a big deal for them.

The Succubus exclaimed in shock "What? You are all unaffected by my strongest mist? I can even subdue an Elder Dragon with this level of mist!"

"Can you please not compare us in that weak lizard?" Aviz abruptly spoke to the Succubus.

"What? Weak lizard? They are the strongest and the oldest dragon in existence you know!" The Succubus said. She then secretly contacted the Elder Dragon that she needs help. She knew that it will be hard for her to escape, so she just decided to ask for help.

"Strongest? Don't you know the existence of Ancient Dragons?" Aviz asked.

"They are already extinct a very long time ago!" The succubus said.

"Hey Aviz, I'm fighting with her can you please stop talking to her? It's disrespectful to attack someone who's talking so I can't attack her." Diablo said.

When the succubus heard the name, she shivered and felt fear. She asked Aviz

"A-aviz as in Avizandum?"

"Eh? Where did you learn my name?" Aviz asked her.

"Y-you you're t-the leader o-of the Ancient Dragons?" The succubus asked while stuttering.

"I'm not now the leader of the ancient dragons. But you're right, I am the former leader of the Ancient Dragons and the strongest dragon in history. I am now serving under my master."

Aviz said.

"Hey, Aviz. When did you learn to flaunt your name?" Zero asked Aviz.

"Ah, M-master. I've once watched it on the TV and I think it's cool so I decided to take this opportunity to do the same thing." Aviz said while scratching his head.

"Diablo go finish her," Zero said.

"As you wish, Master." Then Diablo attacked the Succubus.

"W-wait please spare me. I will give you everything you want. You can also have me as your servant just to spare my life." The succubus said while begging.

'This is it! The cliche scene!' Zero muttered

Zero said, "No, you're not any use to me."

Reno finally spoke "Master, I have a suggestion. What if you use her to obtain information about this world? And you can also use her to gain money in this world so we don't need to sell monsters to earn money."

Zero thought 'Oh that's a pretty good idea.'

Zero said "Hmm that's a good idea. I'll let you live if you meet my expectations. Then can you do that miss succubus?"

"Y-yes! I will do everything I can to satisfy you, Master." The Succubus said with a loud voice.

"If you do something unpleasant, don't expect any mercy from me." Zero then unleashed a bit of his killing intent to the Succubus. The succubus knelt down and almost puke when she received Zero's killing intent.

"I still don't know your name, what should I call you?" Zero asked

"M-my name is Silica. I will promise that I won't do something that can make you feel unpleasant master." The succubus said in a scared tone.

"And I suggest you not attack the city. The forces inside the city are quite strong" Zero said.

"Thank you for your suggestion, Master. I will immediately retreat my army" Silica said.

"Then we will go now. Go do your work." Zero said.

"M-master? Where are you going?" Silica asked.

"I will tell you if you are worthy enough."

Zero said.

"I will do my best to be worthy enough, Master." Then Zero ordered her to leave. They noticed the upcoming Elder Dragon. Aviz unleashed his [Dragon Aura] that only the dragon can sense. The Elder Dragon immediately retreated when he felt the overwhelming aura of Aviz. After Silica left, Zero opened a portal that will bring them back to Earth. After a few seconds, they are in Zero's courtyard again.
