From Imp to Demon God: Conquering the Demon World With a Succubus-Chapter 45: Can I Crush Their Core?

In the end, Rose admitted defeat. She rolled her eyes and said, "Whatever. He’s skilled anyway. Violet should be able to keep up with him."

Violet was quite startled. She glanced at her and nodded with a firm expression. Though, her body was still trembling.

Rose asked, "Though, I’m curious. Your Blood Knight has quite a proper name, huh? It’s closer to the first word demon name, yet not quite. Interesting.

Violet, you’ll be the first demon noble that popularizes random names rather than chasing to earn a title."

Rose never cared about having a proper name to begin with. She chased to earn a title. How the other demon nobles would address her in the future would showcase her status and reputation, simply because of a title.

However, Rose was quite interested in the name "Myles".

She asked Violet, "Can I ask his first word demon name?"

Silence descended. The Guardian of Scarlet Bond frowned. However, she did not defend Violet this time.

She was curious how she would respond.

Violet, on the other hand, furrowed her eyebrows. For some reason, she steeled herself and instantly replied, "With all due respect, knowing even his first demon name can possibly trigger unknown consequences. Even when we know each other by our racial traits, we can’t be sure what we are hiding when it comes to individual secrets.

I hope you understand, Senior Rose."

Rose was surprised. She thought. So, she isn’t really scared of me? She’s just nervous? Interesting. This girl really adapted her mother’s traits.

But, what a pity. If only she had three demon names, she might be able to surpass her mother.

Rose nodded. "I understand. I’m just curious, that’s all."

Rose swept her gaze at the four first batch of students of Royal Academy, representing the Succubus race, and asked the Guardian of Scarlet Bond, "I assumed they are the only the first year batch, correct?"

The Guardian of Scarlet Bond nodded. "It seems to be the case."

"So, are they ready to fight against the incubus? Although I’m confident that Myles can easily win, others must win."

Rose glanced, with a terrifying expression, at Pink, Peach, and Magenta and said, "As far as I remember, if the succubus loses against the incubus, your very Senior will punish you."

Pink, Peach, and Magenta broke into sweats.

However, Pink knew she had to take a step forward to keep her lead role as a first year batch of the succubus race and immediately said, "Y-Yes. We will certainly get that victory."

"As you must." Rose nodded. "Of course, if you win, we will reward you.

Like Cherry. When she won, she requested to have a free bubble gum everyday."

Rose turned towards Cherry and smiled.

Cherry simply nodded as she popped the bubble gum.

Rose said, "However, you have to win it as a team. If you want to earn the rewards by winning individually, then you can ask for it, if you propose to change the duel format and win it."

Pink asked, "What is it, Senior?"

Rose beamed a smile. "Life and death duel."

Pink drew a sharp breath. Peach and Magenta were terrified, as well.

There was no way they would risk their Blood Knights into a life and death duel. If their Blood Knights died, they would fail to enroll in the Royal Academy. After all, the first requirements to officially enroll as a noble student was to have a knight.

Of course, they could ask for their family to have another Blood Knight, but what they brought was already the best among the best their family has ever produced.

Taking the risk was tantamount to losing a knight inside the Royal Academy or even before becoming a student there.

Pink, Peach, and Magenta were silent, causing Rose to giggle merrily.

However, her giggle was abruptly halted when Violet said, "My knight wants to sign up for that."

Rose turned silent.

She gazed at Myles, whose eyes were glued at Violet. He didn’t seem to say something, but for some reason, Violet was aware it was what he wanted.

She asked Myles, "Do you really want to?"

Myles nodded without staring at her.

He said, "Can I?"

Rose couldn’t say anything.

The Guardian of Scarlet Bond smiled and said, "You can. I think you should choose the strongest opponent."

Myles nodded. "As long as it’s still Common rank 1, I can accept. Also, may I crush their core?"

The Guardian of Scarlet Bond was dumbstruck.

She exploded into a hoot of laughter.

She took out her hand fan and began fanning herself, causing the seniors’ blood knights to be charmed.

She said, "Of course, you can. That would be better."

Rose frowned. "But, isn’t that simply provoking the incubus?" She turned towards Myles and said, "Are you sure you want to gain the ire of the Shadowbind Knights?"

Myles immediately replied, "I’ll make it look like an accident."

"Why are you insisting on crushing their core in the first place?"

Myles shrugged. "To feel satisfaction? Either way, it’s a life and death duel. Crushing their cores or uncrushed doesn’t matter, they will die anyway."

"Just how confident are you? Perhaps, you only know the first step of the Demonic Phantom Step."

"I just know that I will win."

Rose was unable to retort. She was vexed, slightly infuriated at Myles’ behavior.

She turned around and glanced at her Blood Knight, who bowed to move his ear closer to his master.

Rose whispered. "Is he strong?"

"He is."

Rose turned towards Myles and said, "Don’t blame us if you die."

Myles instantly asked in a soft tone, "May I ask what is the reward if I win? It shouldn’t only Violet, my master, who will be rewarded, right?"

Rose was speechless. She completely did not expect Myles’ behavior to act easy-going towards them.

Is he perhaps a noble?

She glanced at Violet and the doubts instantly faded. There’s no way a noble will lower himself to be a servant of a greater demon noble at best.

In the end, she turned towards Myles, who never glanced at her, and replied, "You have to win first."
