Maggie watched the succubus ball fly around her, her feelings quite complicated.
As a Holy Maiden of Light, being 'admired' from all angles by a succubus several times within the Temple of Light is quite a magical experience.
"How did you get in...?"
Given that this succubus was suspected to be extremely powerful, Maggie was very careful with her words when asking questions, and even used honorifics, hoping not to offend this seemingly powerful figure.
"Of course we entered through the main entrance."
The succubus ball gave Maggie a look that said, "Are you an idiot?", then scratched its chin with the tip of its tail, staring at Maggie as if it were thinking about something.
"...."
Maggie fell silent. The succubus ball made a lot of sense, and she was speechless.
"You can call Safa over, right?"
The succubus ball remained silent for a long while, but when it finally spoke, it was astonishing. When Maggie heard the succubus ball call out Safa's name, she felt her heart skip a beat.
"What...what do you want to do?"
Maggie asked with a stiff face.
"I want to see my other adopted son, but going back to hell is too much trouble. Since you can bring him here, I'll save myself the trouble."
"That's perfectly reasonable," the succubus ball said confidently.
"..."
Maggie fell silent again; such a compelling reason left her speechless.
Besides... Safa is her son?!
Could this be Philomona?
This realization nearly caused Maggie's brain to shut down. Goodness, speak of the devil and he appears! Just two days ago, she said she wanted to meet this legendary succubus with her rich biodiversity.
No wonder they were able to enter the temple undetected; there were clues to follow.
Let alone whether she could defeat him, even a god returning to his rightful place might not be able to defeat him. How could she have the right to refuse?
only.....
Maggie looked around. It was indeed quiet and deserted, but she couldn't rule out the possibility that a paladin might patrol the area at night. Maggie didn't want to turn herself in on the spot, so she could only offer a slightly tactful suggestion.
"It's not convenient here right now, should we go outside and talk about it later?"
She was truly on the verge of tears. This guy was a real big shot, the kind you absolutely couldn't mess with. She didn't even dare to lie to him.
According to the erroneous version of the general history, this person might even have the King of Elements backing him up.
"Oh, I almost forgot, this is human territory. Alright, then come with me."
The succubus scratched its head with its wings, then looked up at the statue of the God of Light. Seemingly agreeing to this, it readily granted Maggie's request.
Hearing this, Maggie breathed a sigh of relief. Ignoring the danger outside, she stood up and walked outside.
The succubus ball floated in front of her, leisurely leading the way.
It wasn't until she stepped out of the temple gates that Maggie belatedly realized that if Safa was Philomona's son, and so was Roy, then wouldn't they be brothers?!
Does the little ghost know about this?
He was so resistant to the fact that the Elemental King had a romantic relationship with a succubus. If he knew the current situation, wouldn't he explode on the spot?
Maggie's feelings became increasingly complicated.
“That’s good. Quickly call him out and tell him, ‘Your mother has come back to see you.’”
The succubus ball stopped directly in front of the gate, unwilling to move an inch further, and turned to Maggie.
"...Isn't this also not a good thing?"
Maggie nearly burst out laughing. This place was no ordinary place; it was practically a grand stage for a temple. "Come on, if you dare!" she thought. "Are you trying to make sure no one sees her summoning the Demon King?"
What's the difference between this and provocation?
Isn't this even more conspicuous?
"Don't worry, no one can see us, otherwise you would have been arrested long ago."
The succubus sphere pursed her lips, immediately noticing Maggie's worries. However, she had a good temper and quickly dispelled Maggie's concerns with a brief explanation.
"All right."
Maggie, who had been sweating profusely, finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the succubus ball's words of comfort.
This is probably what a pro player does when they're completely unrestrained; no wonder they can sleep through the entire Pokédex.
Clutching the Demon King's scepter she carried close to her body, this was the second time she had tried to summon the Demon King. She had thought it would be a matter of life and death, but she never expected that the reason for summoning him would be 'your own mother wants to play with you'.
It not only sounds outrageous, but it's also outrageous in practice.
Maggie's mind raced with thoughts, her heart pounding, but that didn't stop her from initiating the ritual to summon the Demon King Safa.
"...."
The demonic brand was burning hot, proving that Safa had received her call, responded to her request, and was about to leave Hell and descend upon the continent of Coral.
To Maggie's great surprise, the moon in the sky did not change color this time. Instead, only a circle of demonic power surged around her, visibly isolating her within a barrier.
Maggie was completely relieved. It seemed that Philomona hadn't lied to her; it was likely that what happened inside the barrier was invisible to those outside.
Every time Safa descends, it's a grand spectacle, but this time the commotion was so small that Maggie found it rather novel.
The giant demonic cocoon enveloping the Bone Demon King landed in front of Maggie. Vast, white bone wings burst forth from the cocoon, brushing past Maggie's cheek and creating a sharp gust of wind. The man slowly opened his eyes, his deep purple gaze meeting Maggie's.
"My follower, what brings you to me? Or have you accomplished your task?"
As Safa finished speaking, his voice remained as cold and cruel as ever, filled with a strong sense of bloodlust, as he looked down at Maggie.
"..."
Maggie didn't say a word, silently took two steps back, and retreated behind the succubus ball.
"?"
Safa frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with Maggie's behavior, but upon seeing the succubus orb, his expression froze, and the air became eerily quiet.
"I'm so touched. It seems you still remember that I'm your mother."
The succubus ball noticed Safa's gaze, let out a deep sigh, flapped its small wings and flew to a position level with Safa's eye level, gesturing with its wings as if measuring Safa's height.
Maggie was trying her best to pretend she didn't exist, but seeing the succubus ball's movements, she unconsciously estimated in her mind how tall Safa was, estimating that he was over 1.95 meters tall.
Thinking about her own height, Maggie was overwhelmed with sadness.
“I remember when I left, you only reached my waist, and now you’re so tall.”
The succubus's voice was sexy and alluring, very mature and sophisticated, but when paired with her motherly way of speaking, it sounded extremely incongruous to Maggie.
"...Who let you out?"
As the succubus ball continued its incessant chatter, sarfa's temples bulged with veins at a visible speed. His anger had reached a critical point, but he couldn't unleash it. In the end, he could only forcefully suppress it and squeeze out these words through gritted teeth.
