RISE OF EROS-Chapter 592 - 591

Hearing Vaelyra’s introduction of Seraphine as a succubus, everyone was surprised, yet they found it reasonable. Seraphine appeared to be a mature and beautiful woman, but with a vibrant youth still radiating from her.

However, what made them feel strange was not her appearance, but rather the aura of seduction that emanated from her. Her entire body, even with the simplest movements, exuded sensuality.

Thus, upon learning that she was a succubus, everyone understood why. Succubi are known for their great powers of seduction. Andrew, on the other hand, was entirely surprised by something else.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t surprised Seraphine was a succubus, but rather that Fluffy had given him very valuable information at that moment. Fluffy shared that succubi are beings created directly at the request of a god of Eros.

Most gods lack the ability to create outside of their domain, especially when it comes to living beings, planets, or even universes. However, once they reach a certain level, they gain the ability to make requests.

Only the original god or creator god can create universes, planets, and life, not to mention that everything that exists was born of him, and he can make anything. Nevertheless, for this very reason, very few can see him, even among the most powerful gods.

Even so, there are certain times when the original god meets with the highest-level gods. This happens once every few millennia, but in those meetings, "Ideas" are discussed.

Although the original god can create whatever he wants, after an eternity of creation, he begins to feel that his creations become monotonous, so he gathers with the other gods to hear stories about the worlds and universes he left in their care.

This way, he receives inspiration and can return to his mission of creating. Although this seemed like impressive information, and Andrew wanted to know more about it, Fluffy didn’t linger on it.

The point was that, in one of those meetings, the highest-level god of Eros in existence proposed the creation of a sentient being with an affinity for his domain. According to Fluffy’s story, everyone present at the time was surprised that the god of Eros had the courage to make such a request. She even mentioned that everyone thought the original god would punish him.

Andrew couldn’t understand how Fluffy could know what happened in such a high-level meeting, but he didn’t ask. Fluffy continued, explaining that, contrary to all expectations, the original god was delighted with the idea.

Until that moment, the original god had not created races other than humans, and it was this request that led to the creation of other races, with succubi being blessed with the domain of Eros.

Though it was fascinating that succubi were something like the children of Eros, what surprised Andrew was the fact that humans, who seemed to be the weakest race, were actually the original race.

Fluffy, who could read his thoughts, immediately clarified the situation. It turned out that the humans created by the original god and the humans of this world, and even those of Earth, were different from the first humans.

Apparently, the first humans were blessed with great natural abilities and were mostly already gods. In fact, current humans were born at the same time as the other races. While Andrew was listening to this whole story, the others in the office were waiting for him to speak.

An uncomfortable silence had spread in the room, and Seraphine was starting to feel nervous, thinking that Andrew’s silence meant he disliked her being a succubus. Although succubi don’t live for the gods of Eros, they do have a strong affinity with them, so his rejection would have been discouraging.

Vaelyra was also a bit confused by Andrew’s reaction. The others already understood that Andrew was probably talking with his divine beast, so they weren’t surprised by his lack of reaction. However, Helena, who was very observant of reactions, noticed Vaelyra and Seraphine’s expressions.

"Ladies, don’t worry. Andrew isn’t upset or anything about Seraphine being a succubus," Helena said, trying to reassure them, as it was clear they were not taking Andrew’s silence well.

The two girls looked at Helena with confusion. Helena smiled and said, "You’ll understand in a moment, be patient." She didn’t know if it was appropriate to talk about Andrew’s divine beast, so she didn’t explain further.

Although Vaelyra and Seraphine couldn’t understand, they decided to wait, as they didn’t have much choice. After a few minutes, Andrew finally reacted and, seeing the tense atmosphere in the office, smiled with a hint of bitterness.

He realized that his conversation with Pelusa had gone on too long, creating an awkward situation. Still, he didn’t dwell on it and quickly said, "Sorry, I was lost in thought." Although his apology seemed trivial, no one reproached him, or at least that was what he thought, until Vaelyra snapped at him, "Hey, I brought a guest, and you ignored her. Apologize properly."

Seraphine, hearing Vaelyra’s retort, wanted to cover her mouth, as she didn’t want Andrew to look at her in a bad light. To her dismay, Andrew smiled and replied, "Alright. Calm down, didn’t I just apologize?"

"You didn’t sound sincere," Vaelyra replied with a cute pout that surprised everyone. She wasn’t close enough to Andrew to act this way, so everyone was caught off guard. Andrew could only laugh awkwardly and decided to ignore her, focusing on Seraphine, "Well, Miss Seraphine, what brings you here?"

Vaelyra was about to snap at Andrew for ignoring her, but Helena approached her ear and whispered, "Relax." The young but not-so-young dragon felt a strange chill and stayed quiet, glancing at Helena, who was smiling, though it didn’t seem like a warm smile.

Ignoring the exchange, Seraphine responded, "Mr. Andrew, well, actually…" She was a bit nervous, not knowing how to explain that as a succubus, she had an affinity with the gods and candidates of Eros. Just then, Andrew interrupted her, "It seems you know my identity."

This time, everyone in the office became alert, as that wasn’t information just anyone would know. Seeing how serious everyone had become, Vaelyra began to explain, "Calm down, the elder Lugia and I told her. We needed her help. Also…"

Andrew smiled, hearing how nervous Vaelyra sounded, and interrupted, "Also, she’s a succubus, a race with an affinity to the domain of Eros." Vaelyra and Seraphine were surprised by Andrew’s words.

They hadn’t expected him to know that, but what they didn’t know was that Andrew had a divine beast within him who had informed him. Not even Arion and the old dragon leader, who have more seniority and knowledge, know about divine beasts.

Although the survivors of the war against the fallen god a thousand years ago know many things about gods and spirits, divine beasts are a different matter altogether. Even though there were many god candidates during the war, they were created as an emergency measure; in other words, they were incomplete and had no divine beasts, which is why they’re unknown.

Andrew was already aware of this, and that’s why he hadn’t told anyone about Fluffy, as it was his trump card. While he trusted Zaros and the others not to betray him, that didn’t change the fact they might use other means to extract information.

This was why Andrew had only shared about Fluffy with his close and beloved ones. Not even his children knew yet, as being children, they might reveal things unintentionally. Seeing Vaelyra and Seraphine’s expressions of surprise, Andrew explained, "As a god candidate, I receive certain information. When I unlock a divine seal, I get new information, so that’s how I know about succubi and their connection to me."

Though it wasn’t entirely a lie, the information he received had nothing to do with knowing about succubi, but he had to invent something. The funny part was that Vaelyra assumed incorrectly, "Is that why you went silent a moment ago?"

Seeing that Vaelyra had assumed wrong, giving him an excuse, Andrew took it, "Yes. I felt I’d heard something about succubi, but couldn’t remember, so when you mentioned Seraphine being a succubus, I recalled."

Vaelyra nodded and continued, "Then, you know why she’s here." Andrew replied, "Honestly, no. Although I know they have an affinity with Eros, that doesn’t mean they lack free will, which is why I asked."

Noticing the situation had calmed down, Seraphine gathered her courage and said, "Mr. Andrew, my sisters and I wish to serve you." Such a statement surprised everyone except Vaelyra, who already knew.

After a brief moment of surprise, Andrew asked, "Why?" to which Seraphine replied, "Well, succubi are considered weak. Among demons, that isn’t good. Fortunately, we’ve survived, but that doesn’t free us from danger, so we wanted to seek your protection." Read new chapters at novelbuddy

Though what she said was true, it wasn’t the whole story. As succubi have an affinity with Eros, they could grow stronger with Andrew around, so they also sought to improve their strength. However, Seraphine didn’t say this, fearing to offend Andrew.

What she didn’t know was that Fluffy had already told Andrew about it. In fact, when he learned of this, he was tempted to accept, but he remained cautious. Strengthening an army of succubi would be advantageous, but he couldn’t rule out the possibility of betrayal. Even though his Eyes of Eros told him that Seraphine had no ill intentions toward him, he couldn’t say the same for the other succubi.
