From Imp to Demon God: Conquering the Demon World With a Succubus-Chapter 91: Cravessa Nyreth

Myles was deeply satisfied by how the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond acted.

He instructed the voice in his head to show her status.

[True Demon Name: Cravessa Nyreth

Race: Succubus

Rank: Rank 3 Greater Demon

Law Affinity: Law of Charm (High)

Skills: Sovereign Kiss, Thread of Affection, Velvet Bloom Style

Role: Emotional Manipulation, Social Traps.]

Myles raised his eyebrows when he saw that she possessed three skills.

Without hesitation, he asked the voice in his head to show each of the descriptions of the skills.

[Sovereign Kiss: a physical-contact art that temporarily overwrites emotional hierarchy, causing the target to prioritize the succubus above others, as the duration scales with intimacy, leaving emotional residue.

Thread of Affection: An invisible emotional tether between succubus and the target. Once established, it allows the mood manipulation of the target at range. Breaks if trust is betrayed. Often mistaken for love, causing the demonic art difficult to perceive.

Velvet Bloom Style: A flowing dance-like combat system designed for court assassinations and duels. The core principle: emotional destabilization before physical contact. It consists of four techniques: Petal Step, a light footwork that subtly alters the opponent’s perception of distance; Heartline Gaze, a palm strike that induces emotional confusion instead of pain; Soft Collapse, redirects an incoming attack while causing hesitation; Final Embrace, close-contact immobilization where the targets will weaken rapidly.]

Out of the three skills, Myles was deeply interested in the Velvet Bloom Style. As much as he wanted to learn it immediately, he still had to settle the problems about conquering the knight department.

He thought. I’ll definitely learn it after a week.

Myles asked the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond, "Can you help me conquer the knight department in a week without getting caught?"

The Guardian of the Scarlet Bond suddenly pointed at the sigil on her body.

However, for some reason, she did not say anything.

Myles smiled. "The demonic energy from the sigil has already vanished the moment you decided to treat me as your master. There’s no need to worry about it. What I want to ask is if you’ll get caught if you are to help me conquer the other Knight Commanders."

The Guardian of the Scarlet Bond replied, "It depends on the scale of the destruction that the battle might cause, Master. There are some buildings filled with sigils that would deactivate as soon as a battle that threatened it were detected. If we do it in an open area, the chances of getting discovered is nil."

Myles asked. "How about the instructors from the noble department?"

The Guardian of the Scarlet Bond shook her head and said, "There is a hidden sigil that completely separates both the department from scrutiny and demonic energy waves. Only the headmaster could observe what was happening on both sides just by his sheer power alone." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Myles frowned. "Is that how powerful a Demon Lord is?"

The Guardian of the Scarlet Bond nodded. "The whole city is the Demon Lord’s domain. As long as he willed it, he would inspect every demonic energy in the city."

Myles nodded. "So, he needs to constantly use his demonic energy just to deeply observe what’s happening in the city?"

"Yes. He rarely does that because there’s a law already as well as the law enforcer. Furthermore, sigils were placed in as much as every building, causing him to only act when he has to.

For the past decade, he rarely has to act and the demon king would often assign him a mission to another city."

"Do you know where he went?"

"We certainly don’t have an idea. But based on his innate art, perhaps, he was ordered to deal with a noble again who committed a grave mistake."

Myles nodded. The difficult part in handling an Empire was how the future generations would act. Even when the demon king at the moment was tyrannical and feared, there would be some noble who could still commit wrong doings—more often than not, they were the future inheritors of a nobility position.

As Myles was about to continue his conversation with the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond, he frowned.

Before, he could barely notice a knight sergeant of the Veil Stalker to stalk them, but now, even when the Commander of the Veil Stalker himself appeared sneakily, he easily spotted him.

It was simply because of how he refined his skills throughout his stay in the knight department. Furthermore, from his previous fight, enabling him to fully exert his strength and comprehended it to some extent, his perception mastery soared.

However, he continued to act like nothing happened and asked the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond, "Can you easily restrain a demon at your level now?"

The Guardian of the Scarlet Bond stood up and said, "That depends on their level."

Suddenly, she took a step but her foot paused in mid-air.

A petal manifested below her foot helping her walk upward. Petals after petals began to manifest until the surroundings were filled with petals for the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond to step upon.

The Commander of the Veil Stalker, on the other hand, panicked.

He was aware he was already spotted, so he did not hesitate to execute the Glass Step.

And yet, even though the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond seemed to be quite far, he was shocked when she suddenly appeared in front of him and struck him with her palm.

Instead of feeling pain, his emotion was rewired. He glanced at the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond and his whole perception of her completely took a whole new level.

He felt deeply moved towards her. He couldn’t bring herself to see her as her enemy.

The Guardian of the Scarlet Bond stood atop a petal and said, "Go down and let’s have a talk. Greet my master first."

The Commander of the Veil Stalker nodded. He turned towards Myles and bowed obediently in front of him.

He said, "Greetings to the master of the Guardian of Scarlet Bond."

Myles glanced at him and pondered for a while. This is exactly the demonic martial arts suited for me. It can easily subdue a demon.

Myles asked, "Why are you here?"

The Commander of the Veil Stalker did not respond. The Guardian of the Scarlet Bond landed beside him and said, "Reply to my master."

The Commander of the Veil Stalker glanced at the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond, his heart pounded with a heart symbol.

Spotting the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond’s expression turning grim, he immediately turned towards Myles and replied, "I was here to gather information about you."

His tone seemed to be lacking any respect towards Myles.

Myles glanced at him and suddenly crouched on his level.

He said, "Make sure he won’t resist."

The Commander of the Veil Stalker was stunned. His emotion began to become unstable again.

He gazed at Myles with conflicted emotions. As he fell into a dangerous state of perhaps breaking out from the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond’s control, the latter grabbed his chin and moved her face closer to him.

She said, her hot breath slapping towards the Commander’s face, "Don’t resist my master."

She pinched his chin so hard that the Commander was unable to turn his head away from her when his demonic core was grabbed by raw hand.

Myles consumed the demonic energy of the Commander but abruptly stopped when the latter’s demonic core already had a quarter of demonic energy left.

Just as he was about to pull his hand, it unknowingly remained stuck.

He did not fall into panic and frowned. He said inside his mind with a solemn expression.

"If you don’t let me go, I won’t let you feed on demonic energy for the rest of the year."

His hand was immediately pulled from the demonic core of the Commander of the Veil Stalker.

The voice in his head said, [The Ancient Demon of Gluttony expressed his saddened sentiments of your words.]

Myles rolled his eyes. He replied, "If he wants to continue being fed, he must listen to me. I’m doing it for the both of us.

The voice in his head replied after a while. [The Ancient Demon of Gluttony appreciated your words.]

"He better be."

Although Myles knew that consuming an entire demonic energy from the demonic core of the Commander of the Veil Stalker was enough for him to ascend in the Greater Demon Rank 4, he knew had to hold back.

A week might reduce to a single day if there was news of the death of a Commander with the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond around.

Myles glanced at the Commander of the Veil Stalker, who kept staring at the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond, with his face going pale after having his demonic energy from his demonic core drained until only a quarter left.

He grabbed his head and began to pour demonic energy. The demonic energy remained on the Commander of the Veil Stalker protected his head, but compared to Myles dense quantity of demonic energy, it would only be a matter of time before the Commander of the Veil Stalker would be defeated.

The Commander of the Veil Stalker sensed the danger and without hesitation, he turned towards the origin.

The Guardian of the Scarlet Bond didn’t interrupt him, watching the event unfold with amusement in front of her.

The Commander of the Veil Stalker gazed at Myles filled with horror, detecting demonic energy that was filled with different laws...

And a law that transcends above them.
