BXBX NOVEL Chapter 253 Hope
Chapter 253 Hope
After restoring her succubus body, Biara stretched her body and wings lazily, and her mouth emitted an alluring sound.
She swung her tail behind her, making the chains on it jingle. Then she paced around in front of Benia and said, “Benia, my dear sister, twin demons sharing the same egg have always been a mistake. You and I are natural enemies. From the time we were in the egg, we fought for nutrients. It’s the same after we leave the egg. But no matter in the past or now, you’ll never be able to win against me. I just didn’t expect that you would stupidly come to this world and try to kill me after becoming a high-rank demon. Don’t you understand? Even though we’re both high-rank demons, there’s a huge difference. Although it’s not divided into levels like low-rank and middle-rank demons, once I’m one step faster, all my steps are faster. As long as you’re behind me, you’ll always be behind me!” Biara spread her arms, circled around, and smiled. “Look at me now. Not only do I have a large army of demons behind me, but I also have the support of Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth. I have transformed into the queen of Erathia and have immense authority. I can start war at any time or destroy the entire country from the inside. As long as war and destruction exist, I can harvest countless souls to strengthen myself. But what about you? You’re just a loner. Even if you want to kill me, you can only use stupid methods like assassination. Don’t you think that chasing after me into this world is simply a foolish act? Or did your brain not develop well when you were in the egg?”
“I’ll kill you. Absolutely!” Benia could not hold it in anymore. She gritted her teeth and stared at Biara with blood-red eyes. “You better not give me a chance!”
“No, no. Of course, I won’t give you a chance, but I won’t kill you for now!” Biara said proudly. “You’re the closest person to me. How can I not share it with you when I’m about to become a demon lord? If I can’t see your envious eyes, the pleasure of obtaining powerful strength will be much less!” At this point, Biara could not help but laugh wildly. “Just wait. After completing this mission given by Lord Kha-Beleth, I may be able to obtain his reward and become a new demon lord. The first thing I will do at that time is to kill you in celebration. Before that, just wait obediently in this prison!”
“Become a demon lord? You wish!” Benia forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and sneered. “How long do you really think you can last with this deception? Perhaps before you become a demon lord, you will be seen through by the humans. At that time, I’ll have a good look at how you get destroyed in holy light, and even your soul won’t be left!”
“Hehe, naive. How long do you think I’ll need to stay with this identity?” Biara said. “And so what if I’m seen through? Lord Kha-Beleth’s plan has succeeded, and everything is within expectations. The entire kingdom of Erathia is currently in an empty state, and it happens that a new demon has appeared in this world with a fallen angel. This combination practically attracts everyone’s attention. I can also take this opportunity to send out the remaining foolish Haven believers and angels. I can summon a waiting demon army in Erathia to flatten all of Erathia and become a demon lord in the flames of destruction!”
In front of her sister, Biara could not help but want to boast and attack her. These words should have made Benia extremely depressed, but for some reason, when she heard ‘a demon with a fallen angel’, Benia’s heart suddenly stirred.
It can’t be so coincidental, right? Benia’s demon heart suddenly started beating faster. She said calmly, “Hmph, stop dreaming. Haven’t you thought that you would be replaced by another demon? Just like this new one you mentioned. If this new demon is stronger than you, can you continue to win the favor of Kha-Beleth?”
“It’s just a demon of unknown origin!” Biara sneered. “Although it’s said that this demon is quite powerful, it’s probably some guy who broke in accidentally. It’s still a question if he and that fallen angel can last until they see Lord Kha-Beleth... All right, my dear sister, enjoy the rest of your life in this prison!”
With that, a fiery light flashed on Biara’s body again, restoring her image as Isabel. She placed her hand on the hilt of her sword at her waist and left the underground prison with a noble smile on her face.
In the legends, demons like succubi had always been famous for bewitching humans. Although these legends had been exaggerated and changed, there was no doubt that succubi knew about temptation and metamorphosis. Charming was a kind of spiritual magic, and as long as it was a being with intelligence, it was often very difficult to resist. As for metamorphosis, it was a special magic that used magic power to change your own image. As a high-rank succubus, Biara’s metamorphosis magic had reached a peak. When she completed her metamorphosis, not only did her appearance not have any flaws, but even her scent and magic power would change accordingly, covering the smell of sulfur and flames that seeped deep into her bones.
This was also why Biara was confident that she would not be seen through among the countless angels and priests who used the power of holy light in Erathia. It was precisely because Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth saw this point that he gave her this secret mission.
However, although her appearance and smell were exactly the same as the original Isabel, in order to achieve the goal of dividing and subverting Erathia, many of the decisions that she made were still very different from the real Isabel. Perhaps the people in Erathia could not feel it, but the bystanders in other countries could see some hints.
The existence of the kingdom of Erathia was a beacon of the Ashan world. As a powerful kingdom that had resisted the invasions of demons for more than a thousand years, as long as Erathia did not collapse, the people of Ashan would firmly believe that the world would not be destroyed by demons. Although the necromancer Arantir was hated by the Erathians, as a believer of Asha, he believed that he had the responsibility to maintain the world order of Ashan. When he discovered and suspected Isabel’s actions, he wanted to go to Erathia to investigate.
Unfortunately, Roy, this new demon, disrupted Arantir’s original plan...
As an undercover agent, although Biara learned about Roy’s appearance in Arantir’s letter, she did not take it to heart and never even thought of secretly sending a message to Eeofol to get the demons to meet up with Roy. Because in her heart, she did not treat Roy as a companion at all. The demons active in Ashan were almost all subordinates of Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth, and a demon of unknown origins would not be regarded as a companion.
Biara had only sent out the fanatical Archbishop Alaric to use his fanatical faith that could not distinguish right from wrong. She wanted to create conflicts between the necromancers of Heresh and the mages of Bracada and further disrupt the relationships between the indigenous races of Ashan.
So after leaving, she forgot about this matter.
However, what she did not expect was that the already desperate Benia had rekindled her desire to survive after inadvertently hearing the news from Biara.
“It’s Osiris, right? Definitely him, right?” Benia muttered to herself in the dark underground prison. “The combination of a demon and a fallen angel can probably only be Osiris and Julia... But didn’t Osiris reject me back then? Why did they appear in this world? Did they chase after me or...”
Shaking her head vigorously, Benia expelled these thoughts from her mind.
“No matter how Osiris and Julia came to this world, they’re the best allies for me!” Hope ignited in Benia’s eyes. “The demons of this world have already called themselves a faction, and it is very difficult for demons that they didn’t summon to integrate into them. As long as I can escape and find them, with Osiris’s strength, Biara is definitely no match for him. I may be able to assist him and create another demon faction in this world...”
After making a decision, Benia looked around and observed the prison cell.
The only thing left was how to escape...
