'Well, if every succubus had hypnosis skills on my level, there's no way they'd have been taken down so easily.'
Kalt possessed hypnosis—a power that could almost be called cheating.
From the history he'd heard at the auction house, the demons had been purged by the Holy Knight Order.
If they'd had hypnosis abilities, they could've entranced the Holy Knights and turned them into their own allies instead.
Having gleaned one piece of the information he wanted, Kalt felt a question arise.
'But why is this guy so damn excited? Is it just because he finally found someone to talk to after all this time?'
Kalt decided to dig a little deeper into the demon essence for more intel.
"Fine, I'll admit it—succubus blood flows through my veins. But... what the hell are you? How is a demon that's already been subjugated coming back to life, even if it's just a voice? Are all the other demons like this too?"
[Hahaha! Don't lump me in with those run-of-the-mill losers! I was one of the smartest succubi around. Even if those damn Holy Knights cornered me! I sealed my consciousness in my essence, thinking ahead to the future! So that when someone with succubus blood like me held it one day! It would react to their blood and mana, awakening me!]
"...And?"
[And?]
"No, I mean, what are you gonna do now that you're awake?"
[Obviously! Use you to resurrect the Demon King!]
'...Is this guy an idiot?'
"Why the hell would I do that?"
[What?]
"No, seriously—why should I help resurrect the Demon King? What's in it for me?"
[Didn't you hear me? Succubus blood flows in your veins—the same as mine! Won't you help your kin?]
"Not even a little. And am I crazy? If the Demon King comes back, the world's gonna go to shit."
[How can you...! Knowing this great truth, you refuse to resurrect the Demon King! Is your blood... too diluted? If so, come here! I'll sync you with the mana in my essence and awaken you fully! Then you'll want to resurrect the Demon King too!]
Kalt figured there was nothing more worth hearing.
"Eh, I got the scoop on my origins, so bye."
As Kalt gripped his sword to slice the demon essence, its voice turned desperate.
[W-Wait! Power! I'll give you power! Help me, and I'll give you power! I'll teach you to wield succubus power perfectly!]
'Nice, looks like there's more to hear after all.'
Kalt adjusted his stance.
"Succubus power?"
[Y-Yes! From what I see, you can't fully wield succubus power yet! You're just getting a tiny fraction of the benefits from the succubus essence mixed in your blood!]
"What changes?"
The essence's voice shifted into that of a door-to-door salesman hawking his wares, explaining the full potential of succubus power.
[A boost in power! Accept my power, and your total mana will increase first! But that's not all! The power and mana you gain from fucking women will skyrocket too! Up until now, it's probably only trickled in, right? That's because you weren't absorbing essence properly! With me, you can fully absorb it and make it yours!]
"And?"
[Greedy one! But that's what makes you a succubus! Fine, this'll really hook you! Looks like you've only bedded three women at most. Shyer than I thought?]
'It even knows that?'
He hadn't expected it to know the exact number of his conquests.
Kalt was mildly impressed. Succubus is succubus, after all.
[With full succubus power, you can give them greater pleasure and turn them into prisoners!]
That was plenty doable with hypnosis.
[Specifically, expose them to succubus aura to heighten their sensitivity!]
Doable with hypnosis.
[You'll detect their erogenous zones even more precisely!]
With hypnosis, he could turn non-sensitive spots into erogenous zones.
[Plunge them fully into ecstasy and make them your captives!]
With hypnosis, he didn't even need ecstasy to make them obey.
[Well? What do you think?]
The early pitch was tempting, but the latter half fell flat.
"Meh?"
[Meh?]
"Got nothing more impressive? Is that really all?"
[Ha! Forgot this one! If you master succubus power... you can change the shape of your dick! You can shorten or shrink it at will!]
"...And that's a good thing?"
Kalt couldn't fathom how shortening or shrinking it was an advantage.
[Knew you'd react like that. You don't know sex that well yet! Controlling size and length is insanely useful and convenient for blowing their minds!]
The essence's voice rambled on like a top-tier lecturer giving a seminar.
[Keep the girth normal but shorten the length—what can you do? Target the entrance intensely! No need for big hip thrusts—the tip can rapidly scrape the sensitive inner walls and entrance!]
High-speed assault on the G-spot and entrance.
[Start small to lull her into thinking it's nothing, then gradually increase size inside her! Watch her grow anxious, lose composure, and end up panting and begging—pure bliss!]
Stepwise size adjustment assault.
[Make it slightly thinner but longer—what then? Give steady pleasure with normal thrusts, then hit the cervix repeatedly with length! She lets her guard down and cums instantly—hilarious!]
The fun of targeted cervix pounding over mere inner scraping.
The essence laid out every advantage it thought would appeal to Kalt, like sharing personal testimonials.
[How about it?]
Dubbed dick customization by the essence's explanation.
This one genuinely hit home for Kalt.
For a man resolved to live by his desires and enjoy life more pleasurably, it offered a fresh thrill.
'At first I thought shortening it sounded dumb... but yeah, used that way, it's plenty useful.'
"...So you've told me all the perks of teaming up with you?"
[Yes. These are the privileges for helping me! For swearing to aid the Demon King's resurrection!]
'Alright, think I've heard everything it has to say for now... time for the final test.'
[With privileges like these, your mind must be made up! The succubus blood in you! Will prove its loyalty to the Demon King by captivating any woman...]
Kalt spread his hand toward the demon essence.
[Ha...]
Its nonstop chatter cut off.
'It works.'
With the essence under a hypnosis that blanked its mind completely, Kalt commanded it.
"From now on, answer my words with absolute truth."
[Yes...]
"If we team up, will I really get those perks you mentioned?"
[Yes...]
'No lies about the powers, at least.'
Kalt started with one of his lingering doubts.
"Why were you so cocky? Did you think anyone hearing your voice would just go along with you?"
[Anyone with blood pure enough to awaken me... upon hearing my voice and learning their origins... would awaken their demonic tendencies...]
"What are demonic tendencies?"
[Working for the Demon King's resurrection... loyalty to the Demon King... and leading humanity to ruin.]
"Hmm..."
'Not feeling any of that.'
"But I don't feel that way at all. You noticed that too, right?"
[Yes... it was unexpected.]
"So you tried tempting me with perks. What would you have done if I'd accepted?"
[First, I'd have you touch the essence and infuse it with mana to sync. And then...]
"And?"
[Pour every bit of mana I could into your head. To dominate your mind and make it more demonic...]
'This bastard...?'
"Just sending mana corrupts the mind?"
[Useless on normals. But with succubus blood, flooding you with the essence's mana all at once would definitely affect your mind. Then everything would go my way... birthing another loyal kin for the Demon King's resurrection.]
The essence's sole goal was using Kalt to resurrect the Demon King.
'Can't trust demon scum, as expected. But wait...'
"Can you draw out the succubus power you mentioned without corrupting my mind normally?"
[Yes...]
A grin tugged at Kalt's lips.
"Good. Then awaken the succubus power inside me now. But don't touch my mind at all."
[Understood.]
Kalt gripped the demon essence and channeled his mana into it.
The essence reacted, sending its own mana back to him.
The mana circulated between them before merging into one, coursing through Kalt's entire body.
In that moment.
'This... is the succubus power I had.'
Kalt could feel the power dormant within him awaken.
His body brimmed with newfound vitality, and his total mana had noticeably increased.
At the same time.
'I know exactly how to use it.'
Just like he'd always known how to wield hypnosis.
Knowledge of succubus abilities instinctively flooded his mind.
[It's done...]
'Mind feels fine. No issues there. Now...'
Kalt eyed the demon essence in his hand.
'What to do with this thing.'
