3 people who couldn’t even scream and fell out.

“Hmm… .”

I slowly looked around.

Over 20 Demonwolves.

Not a small number.

But in this situation, the numbers didn’t matter.

‘Everyone is weaker than me.’

As a result of checking the status window, it was on the same level as Erina. There were about five Radius-class that were stronger than that, but it didn’t matter much.

The important thing is that they are weaker than me.

Demon Fear, the skill that performs best when dealing with many weaker people than me, will reduce their combat power.

You can’t win even in a normal state, but what if you get a debuff?

‘I think there’s no chance of winning for them.’

“What, what is it?”

Lian’s eyes widened at the unexpected situation.

I fixed my eyes on Ryan.

Rian tried to make eye contact, but then he slowly turned his head away.

I think it’s probably due to my dignity and the influence of Demon Fear.

“Damn it!”

Rian, realizing his ugliness, shouted at his colleagues.

“What are you all doing! Only two! One is a useless succubus, and the other is possessed by that succubus. There’s no reason to be afraid. we are wolves You have to hunt the other person, not the one being hunted!”

The demon wolves who were frozen by Lian’s cry came to their senses.

“Yeah, yes.”

“No matter how strong he is, he won’t be able to deal with all of us.”

“Let’s go at the same time.”

The moment the Demonwolves are about to attack.

Kwaaang!

I quickly closed the distance and blew the three on the right again.

“Huh!”

The wolves who were about to run into the situation stopped in place again.

I slowly approached Ryan.

“You are wrong.”

“What, what do you mean?”

“first. I wasn’t possessed by a succubus. How dare you look at me and talk like that?”

“Keugh… .”

Lian backed away as much as I approached.

He had already lost his will to fight.

“second. ‘Wolves hunt’… That’s not wrong. by the way.”

Lian, who kept stepping back, was blocked by a wall.

Lian’s body, with nowhere else to retreat, began to tremble slightly.

I raised my fist at the sight of him.

“Even wolves are sometimes hunted. I met a lion stronger than myself.”

Of course, in the case of me and the demon wolves around me, it is simply a gap that goes beyond the difference between a lion and a wolf.

There is a possibility that the lion will be attacked by the wolves, but there was no such possibility for me now.

“Hey, wait!”

“It would be better to talk about it after being beaten.”

Wow!

one room.

With just one punch, Lian pierced the wall and sank deep inside.

Great!

At the same time, the sound of something breaking was heard.

It was the sound of the necklace hanging around Lian’s neck.

“It looks expensive, but I am sorry.”

Of course, I wasn’t sorry at all.

“Then take care of the rest… Well?”

There were still more than 10 demon wolves, so I tried to organize it quickly.

“Come on, everyone, get down at my feet.”

The other guys were already enchanted by Serenia and were easily subdued.

I approached Serenia, who is training the wolves.

“It seems like you weren’t attracted to it before, but what happened?”

“I don’t know either. After you defeated him, the charm suddenly succeeded.”

“okay?”

In the direction Serenia was pointing at, there was Lian, who had fainted from foaming.

“Well, if fascination works, it will be easier to get information.”

From Lian’s point of view, he would have lured it to an uninhabited place to handle it quietly, but from our point of view, it was rather fortunate.

At least I was less worried about other Demonwolves coming after hearing the commotion.

“Now then, let’s have a proper conversation.”

* * *

I lifted the fainting Lian to her feet.

Damn!

“Wake up.”

“Mmm.”

Damn!

“Wake up.”

“Mmm.”

“Japanese… .”

“Hey, it happened!”

Rian grabbed both cheeks and hurriedly stood up.

“great. Let the interrogation be yours.”

I called Serenia and stepped back.

“I see. Originally, an expert in this field should do it.”

The purple magic formed on Serenia’s fingertips.

An aura of enchantment that bewitched people permeated Lian.

Same situation as before.

However, the result was very different from before.

“Who am I?”

“… you are … You are my master.”

“That’s nice. Answer my questions honestly.”

“… Anything … I will answer.”

Blurred eyes that lost focus.

It was Lian who was completely enchanted.

“You didn’t fall for my charms earlier. But now it’s caught. What happened?”

“… There was an artifact that defends against mental attacks. Since the artifact affects a certain area around me, the master’s ability did not work.”

“An artifact?”

Serenia’s gaze turned downward.

Then, a red necklace caught my eye.

The cracked and broken necklace no longer had a special aura.

“Perhaps the fascination worked as it broke.”

“I guess so.”

The sound I heard earlier was the sound of that necklace breaking.

“It’s a pity. It looks expensive just by looking at it.”

If it’s the kind that defends against mental attacks, it’s a valuable item.

In addition, it was even more so if it had a wide-area effect on the surroundings.

“Can’t you just repair it and use it?”

“Hmm… I don’t know if there are any good artisans out there. I think it will be difficult.”

I have it.

A very skilful slave, no, a craftsman.

‘There’s nothing wrong with keeping it.’

I loosened the necklace from Lian’s neck.

“Let me take it for now.”

“follow your heart.”

Serenia continued to ask questions.

“Aside from the fascination, how did you know I was a succubus?”

“… That too is the power of artifacts. It was prepared to catch the succubus who are infiltrating for spying.”

“It’s a nuisance.”

Serenia clicked her tongue lightly.

It was definitely an artifact that could be seen as a contradiction to the succubus.

“What… The important thing is not this.

The purpose of coming here flowed from Serinia’s mouth.

“Do you know about the red wolf’s teeth?”

“… I have never heard of it.”

Serenia’s face brightened at Rian’s answer.

“Really? Tell me where you are now.”

However.

“… The deepest part of Duchy. I heard that you are in an office that only Duke Ethlon and a select few can enter.”

Serenia’s face contorted again at the answer that came out of Lian’s mouth.

“Duke’s… The office?”

“… That’s right.”

“under… .”

Serenia sighed and approached.

“What?”

“It’s difficult.”

I figured out where the target was, but I wasn’t happy at all.

It would have been better if I didn’t know.

‘It must be the Duke’s office.’

I didn’t think it would be easy to find in the first place.

Of course, I thought the difficulty would be high.

However, the Duke’s office wasn’t of a high standard, it had to be seen as simply impossible.

‘If it’s like a treasure trove, I’d try sneaking in.’

The office where the duke stayed was also difficult.

The place where the peacock, the most important being in the castle, stays.

Of course, the state of security will be incomparable to other places.

Most of the escorting troops are also excellent strong people.

A bigger problem than anything else.

‘Duke Ethlon, he himself must be a tremendously strong man.’

It is a Demon World that prioritizes strength.

It is said that if you rise to the position of duke in such a demon world, you are not usually strong.

I had to see him as the strongest of the people I’ve met so far.

‘It must be on a level that surpasses Veigar, Harold, and Toby.’

I had to see myself as a strong person who could never be matched.

‘How to do it.’

A sigh came out at the absurd level of difficulty.

In the current situation, Lian is not helpful at all.

In the first place, it was Lian who couldn’t even enter the center, let alone the office.

‘No, wait.’

Not for Rian, but what about his father, the butler?

It was said that only a trusted few could enter.

And the head of the butler would surely be included in that minority.

I asked Ryan a question.

“Your father, the butler, can enter the office, right?”

“… That’s right. I heard that he goes every day to report what happened in the duchy.”

If so, the method is simple.

All you have to do is to enchant Rian’s father, the butler, and bring him the goods.

The problem was how to charm the butler.

There was a high probability that the butler also had the artifact that Lian had.

Considering what he was doing, it wasn’t strange that he had an artifact of a much higher rank.

‘Should I have Lian lure him here and then subdue him?’

It would be too risky for us to meet the head butler with Rian.

You might get suspicious, and in that case, it might be difficult to escape.

‘I’ll have to entice the butler first.’

It was the best choice in the current situation.

There was no time to hesitate once the decision had been made.

“You bring your father here.”

“… You mean here?”

“okay. Secretly, just the two of you.”

“… All right.”

The moment Lian, who received the order, was about to leave.

“What is all this about!”

I heard someone’s voice.

* * *

The main character of the voice was Demonwolf, who looked a little older.

And his true identity flowed out of Lian’s mouth.

“father?”

‘Father?’

I was trying to lure the butler here, but I never thought he would walk in on his own.

It was a welcome thing for me.

“Luck is with you.”

Serenia also approached with a smile, probably thinking the same thing.

“Right.”

“I will charm you.”

“It’s very likely that it won’t work.”

“Then you can subdue it like before.”

Serenia slowly steps forward.

I caught such Serenia.

“for a moment.”

“What’s wrong?”

“… .”

Instead of answering, I glared forward.

The butler wasn’t the problem.

The huge Demon Wolf standing behind him was the problem.

‘I can’t see my abilities.’

In the case of the head butler, his abilities were confirmed through the status window.

Stronger than expected, but weaker than me, at a level that can be suppressed enough.

The problem was the demon wolf in the back.

A situation where the ability level cannot be checked.

This meant only one thing.

‘It’s strong. It’s also strong enough that I can’t handle it.’

Veigar, Harold, and Toby.

These are the ones I haven’t been able to confirm my ability to until now.

However, in the demon wolf in front of him, he felt something beyond them.

It may not be accurate, but I thought he was the strongest opponent I’d ever met in the Pandemonium.

“How dare you make a fuss at the duke’s estate? furthermore… .”

The butler’s gaze turned to Serenia.

“Is that a succubus too?”

The butler’s low voice.

His shoulders were shaking from how angry he was.

In a situation where even Serenia’s identity was identified, there was no possibility of creating a variable through fascination.

‘Should I run away for now?’

The unidentified Demon Wolf was only watching the situation, but showed no sign of intervening yet.

If so, the story that there is a chance to get out of the body.

‘It draws attention and goes right out.’

I quickly pulled Magi up.

The demonic energy emanating from the Evil Heart formed on my fist.

Swoop-

moment to step forward.

“It’s interesting.”

!

A dull voice from behind.

I quickly turned around and threw a fist.

Quarleung.

A fist filled with red demonic energy flew towards the opponent.

and.

snap.

caught lightly

“Keugh.”

I couldn’t do my best because I was attacking in a hurry, but it wasn’t an attack that could be easily blocked.

Demonwolf, holding my hand, raised the corner of his mouth and said.

“Ohh, those eyes that haven’t given up yet.”

I gathered the demonic energy in my right hand and fired it hard.

Pew!

He succeeded in pulling himself out using the recoil, but was rather driven into a corner.

“I came out to look around the estate with the butler, and something interesting happened.”

The large Demonwolf lightly shook his hands and opened his mouth.

“My name is Ethlon Craig. I am the owner of this estate.”

The demon wolf in front of him was the Duke of Ethlon.
