King of succubus-Chapter 256 Start Again From The Beginning.

---

At the same time, the cause of all this agitation faced a more critical problem than all the wars and fears of natives and foreigners on the planet of Alzania.

After leaving the bathroom, he realized Linn was still in his bedroom. "Hm? You haven't left yet?" He asked with a frown.

Without even worrying about being naked in front of her, he calmly walked towards the wardrobe and began by releasing a new set of medieval clothes, including a silk shirt and black leather pants.

"I was on the planet of the Punishers," Linn pronounced these words impassively.

"Hm?"

"I had gone to check some information in the library."

"And?" He asked while buttoning his shirt.

"... Have you heard of Zenof?"

"Um, according to Sabrina, he is the guardian of the Punishers' Library, which contains almost all the knowledge of the universe. But she advised me not to meet this guy since he seems more dangerous than anyone."

Linn: - You can be grateful for her advice.

"You don't need to tell me; unlike you, Sabrina has all my confidence, even if I know she's still hiding some things from me."

"Humm, how admirable it is; you almost seem like you are two lovers."

"Believe what you want. But on the other hand, if you have nothing important to tell me, I have to go out to train with Balakh."

Linn frowned, hearing Alvine's words.

"Don't worry; I don't intend to have a serious fight with him. On the other hand, I am interested in one of his skills. And I intend to overturn my constitution thanks to these attacks to face the heavenly tribulations." He added.

"Oh, I see; but do you intend to let yourself be attacked by his lightning to increase your body resistance against heavenly lightning? Do you think that's enough?"

"I don't know, but if it's not, you'll be there to help me, right?" He said with a friendly smile.

"I refuse."

"Thank...hm? Why this sudden refusal?" Alvine stopped halfway as he looked at her with confusion.

"I said I refused to help you." She retorted once again in a monotonous tone.

"I understand, but what I want to know is, why do you refuse? Do you think it's risky for me? Sigh, I'm not asking you to attack me with all your power, just...

"It has nothing to do with that." Before Alvine finished his words, Linn interrupted him with these words with more coldness that left Alvine momentarily silent.

'What does she have? What is this sudden change? What did she learn by going to this library?' He wondered to himself.

"Why?" Alvine then asked while the tension became suffocating in the room, following his sinister air.

"It's easy to guess unless you pretend to be ignorant."

Alvine, who wanted to go out, forgot this idea as soon as he heard Linn's answer. He created a banal chair with his wooden affinity and sat in front of Linn. "What did you learn during your walk? Is there any relationship with this crazy librarian?" He asked with his arms crossed.

"..."

"So I was right, wasn't I? What did this guy tell you as nonsense?" Alvine asked eagerly, seeing her silently.

'According to Sabrina, this librarian has the book of life of all creatures. If he allowed her to read my life book...! Sigh, what am I thinking about? Apart from the librarian and Sabrina, the current leader of the Punishers, No one has the right to read the life book of others as long as the owner is alive. In this case, I have nothing to fear unless this guy named Zenof crosses the rules.' He says to Himself with disturbing thoughts.

But what he did not know himself is that Zenof did not yet have his book of life that contains all his secrets and powers. But by ignoring this information, he could not confirm anything.

"A nonsenses? Hah! What do you mean by that? Because you can heal me without the need to reach the divine rank? Because you are able to help me reach the legendary rank? Or because you are a mortal with a primordial body?!" Linn listed these three questions, among which the first two were only personal hypotheses after reading Galiel's book but also thanks to some additional information she had acquired after her own research.

Due to his extreme amazement after hearing this information that he did not know, Alvine could not know how to react to the news that Linn had just announced.

"... An primordial body?" He murmured with empty eyes. After Linn's third question, he instantly forgot his other questions.

"Ho? Don't you know it? No, I assume you are pretending to be ignorant, as usual. Thinking carefully, it answers a lot of the questions I was asking myself. The reason for your unwavering confidence in the face of tribulations and your abnormality level. But don't you think you made fun of me enough? So far, I have done everything to give you my support by trying to get along well with you, even if I could do otherwise. But what did you do to pay me in return? You lied to me so far; this is the definition of your actions since you set foot in this place."

"... Tell me more!" Alvine asked after Linn's little speech.

'Tsk, what an arrogant bastard. If he had no links with this Sadistic woman, I would have tortured him to death after collecting all the information I needed.' She said to herself when she heard Alvine's question.

"Do you want to know more? I don't care about your curiosity, but if you want to learn more, you must respect my conditions."

"Your conditions? What proves to me that your information is true, to begin with?" He asked with a dark expression.

"The decision is up to you whether you believe me or not."

He has managed to manage Linn so far, but now that she seems aware of the delicate information, Alvine could guess how complicated the situation could be. The most frustrating was that he had not yet reached the desired goal before joining the others.

"Sigh, very well; what are your conditions?"

"Nothing complicated; I will ask you only one question that you will answer while holding the 'orb of veritas' in your hands." She announced with a sinister smile while taking out a pure white orb that was the size of an adult fist from nowhere.

"An orb of truth, huh? Why not use this orb first? To check if you are lying by saying that I had a body...

"Of course, it's okay." Linn interrupts him before he even finishes his question, making Alvine even more suspicious of him.

Of her three statements, her last question was the only one she did not doubt. On the other hand, she was somewhat satisfied to see Alvine react as she wanted by focusing only on her last question.

"..."

But seeing Alvine's silence, she did not give him the necessary time to think. She got up from bed and put the orb on a cushion, and placed her hand on the orb before looking at Alvine with an eerie smile.

"You can ask me your question to confirm your suspicions." She announced to him.

"...How did you learn this information?" Alvine asked by changing the question to learn more about the informant.

On Linn’s side, even if she had guessed her trick, she still ended up answering. "According to Zenof's claims, you appeared after the goddess's disappearance. If I repeat his words for words, you are her last vestige."

After hearing her words, Alvine looked at the orb with a dark expression.

'The orb did not react? Does this mean that she is telling the truth? Sigh, I guess I can't confirm these words yet. Like any lie detector, this orb only checks whether the person is lying; it does not really check the veracity of the person's information. In other words, as long as Linn is convinced that Zenof's words are true, the orb would not react even if Zenof had lied to her.' He said to himself, thoughtful.

"Now that you've checked what you wanted, it's my turn to ask you questions now...

"No, I need to know more." Alvine stopped her insistently.

"Hah, unfortunately, even I don't know more. Zenof didn't give me more details either. But I think he did that to lure you towards him. Since you know his existence, I suppose Sabrina also told you how vicious the three librarians are. To achieve their goals, they will not hesitate to use all means. The good news is that they cannot extend their influences outside the library." Linn added nonchalantly, making Alvine even more confused and alarmed than before.

'All that was missing was them. Even if librarians are guardians under the orders of the primordials and ancient beasts, no one knows the limit of their powers. But what makes them more dangerous than any enemy is the knowledge they have acquired over millennia. Anyone will become defenseless prey in front of them. But why does someone of this caliber want to meet me using such vicious tricks?

I always told myself that I had to rely only on my powers instead of those of others. But the more I think about it, the more ridiculous I find it. I forgot the most important thing since I lived peacefully here. I don't really need to worry about Linn becoming stronger than Sabrina. The most important thing is to increase my own power by all means.

If she becomes stronger than Sabrina or the others, there are several ways to deal with her case. But what about me?? As long as I set a limit by refusing to increase my powers by all means. I will only give my enemies an extra chance to dominate me. But on the other hand...

"Well, have you finished, or do you plan to take all eternity to make your decision?" Linn interrupted him in his thoughts as she gradually became impatient.

"Sigh, I got it," Alvine replied with a ridiculous smile. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

"What did you understand?"

'Stagnating here like a thousand-year-old lake, I ended up forgetting the real goal that had pushed me to go to powers quest. I was stupid in imagining that I could protect everyone from danger simply by preventing one person from progressing. Enemies more dangerous than this woman are hiding everywhere in this universe. But instead of using this short time to become strong, I use it only for such a banal reason!? No, it's time for me to wake up before it's too late.'

With this sudden awareness, his decisive eyes switched between Linn and the orb on her lap as the situation became more evident.

"Linn, no, Linnaella j.Karitis, What do you plan to do if, by hazard, you reach this legendary rank?" Alvine asked abruptly in a monotonous tone.

"!!" Linn froze on the bed in surprise as she heard Alvine's words while crossing his burning eyes.

"Don't remove your hand from the orb; I want a clear answer on your part. That is the first and last time I will ask you this question. My decision and future actions will depend on your answer!"
