With Helen-san’s new skill, “Advanced Monster Summoning,” the succubi I had been raising apparently evolved into higher species. As I checked them one by one, their appearances had changed slightly, and they had all evolved.
“Seeing them all lined up like this is quite a sight.”
Seven summoned succubi lined up in a row. The women of the Hero Party standing behind them were covering the eyes of a young male cleric from behind with both hands.
“It’s like an assembly of the Demon Lord Army’s executive female officers.”
To briefly introduce this wild lineup: First, the earth attribute, green Forest Succubus became the “Ent-Succubus,” becoming large and frightening. Though large, she was only about one size larger than Nina-san, which is terrifying. Apparently, she can absorb and parasitize other monsters and humans, turning them into her thralls (method omitted). Too scary.
(And her arm and leg movements are large and look powerful.)
Next, the fire attribute, slightly reddish Hot Succubus became the “Burning Succ,” with her redness intensified. Faint flame patterns were visible on her skin, and a “burning aura” that wasn’t hot could be seen – no, her body temperature was just high. This would be helpful in a snow mountain. It felt good to be able to punch enemies engulfed in flames with bare hands, and her fire magic was also enhanced. She’s the type I’d want to have smile and embrace bandits or assassins who kill people, then burn them to death with flames.
(Her speech also changes depending on how she’s raised. She can even be made to shout things like “Hot hot!” though I wouldn’t do that.)
Next, the wind attribute Breeze Succubus evolved into the “Silver Succubus.” I’ve seen this one before! In Ruanko’s dungeon, she disguised herself as Nina-san and tried to seduce me, but I saw through it because her body size was different. Her color changed from whitish to silver, eliminating the confusion with the light attribute Holy Succubus. Furthermore, Helen-san can make her transform into various people if ordered. For now, I had her transform into Clarice-san, but…
(Hmm, Clarice-san wins, mainly in the chest department.)
If we’re talking about the four elements, finally, the water attribute Water Succubus became the “Freezing Succubus.” When I took out a cup from the Item Box and asked for water, she produced it with fine ice! There’s no more convenient succubus for working in restaurants or the like! She feels cool to the touch. Her skin, which was light blue, became a pale blue, like someone sick, but her form is that of a normal succubus, actually quite well-built.
(I want to hug her and sleep in midsummer, though my stomach might get cold.)
Following that are the two rare dual-attribute ones. First, the dark attribute Bad Succubus became the “Poison Succubus.” Her purple skin became even darker and her texture became more like a snake’s, and she gained the ability not only to attack with poison mist but also to spew poisonous liquid. I want to see her make a humanoid monster swallow that next time, it really fuels my bad fantasies! She doesn’t seem to be able to absorb enemies into her body like Shadow-type monsters. That type requires Gas Magic Stones.
(If her level increases, she might learn Invisibility or something.)
The light attribute Holy Succubus became the “Goddess Succubus.” She’s the evolved form of the succubus who nursed me back to health all night when I was almost killed by Korome (I won’t mention the perpetrator). She’s not just pure white but also sparkles. Anju apparently said she learns Resurrection Magic when she levels up!
(Yes, I’ll raise her first with the Fairy Ring.)
Lastly, the gold attribute, the evolution of Golden Succubus, the “Eldorado Succubus” – golden, golden, golden! She can’t create gold, silver, or gems, but she can become incredibly hard. If she charges at an enemy like that, she might be able to pierce a dragon’s belly. She also has magic to temporarily strengthen weapons, turning the Berserk Sword into something like it was covered in gold leaf. How luxurious.
(The enhancement is only for physical weapons; enhancing a staff didn’t increase magic power.)
It seems their intelligence also increases, and if you train them, their way of speaking will no longer be broken. Silver Succubus was speaking normally too, so teaching them is probably Helen-san’s job.
“Ah, that’s right! Anju-chan!”
“Rogerroger!”
It looked like she understood! Anju-chan pulled her Sexy Panther Robe’s hood deep over her face, obscuring it with Dark Magic, and floated in the air holding the Velvet Devil Rod. The Scythe of Death also floated in front of her, giving off a mysterious Illusionist vibe, clearly not just anyone.
“Helen-san.”
“As you command, Master.”
Helen-san gripped her jet-black whip, and it seemed her will was conveyed. The succubi instantly leaped behind Anju-chan and stood ready!
“Amazing! Even more amazing than before! It’s like the Demon Lord Army has fully assembled!!”
Oh, Anju-chan is even emitting a dark aura-like effect, what an amazing presentation!
“How is it? Impressive, isn’t it!”
I can’t help but ask the Hero standing behind me!
“Um, are you here to conquer Shucco now?”
“It probably won’t take long. Ah, no, I’m sorry.”
“Deles!”
Nina-san pulled me away, telling me to stop messing around.
“Hey! Everyone who’s about to come in will panic, so stop it right there!”
“Ah, Ganes-san, I’m sorry.”
Yes, the Adventurer Party that just entered also
went weak-kneed, saying, “What is this? What’s happening?”
They undoubtedly looked like the Demon Lord Army, and a particularly troublesome one at that.
“Anju-chan, Helen-san, thank you.”
Anju-chan took off her hood as she descended, and Helen-san began storing the succubi into subspace.
“Still, that was amazing… Nina-san, why don’t we send those to the Mu Mu Empire?”
“Don’t be ridiculous, it’ll start a war.”
“R-Right…”
Now that things had calmed down, the new receptionist beckoned me over.
“Um, it’s about time…”
“Ah, right, it’s my turn!”
Alright then, it’s finally time to confirm my Level Up!
