"The Seven Infernal Crowns is carved into every city, contract, and his banners. He wore seven floating crown sigils, each representing continental function. Crown of Chains for Slave Law, Crown of Crimson Oath for Contract law, Crown of Ash for Military, Crown of Velvet for Succubus Houses where we belonged, Crown of Iron Flame for Industry, Crown of Night Glass for surveillance, and Crown of Silent Vault for Royal secrets."
Myles asked, "I thought you belonged to the Crown of Chains."
Nyxara shook her head and replied, "We are not responsible for slavery. We only enslave one race, and that is…"
Nyxara hesitated and lowered her head.
She mumbled. "Imp."
Myles nodded and did not mind. After all, it was not his race, he was simply born to their members.
Nyxara said, "And the Imp race was given to us by the Crown of Chains because of their ability to mine and most importantly their fertility rate. However, according to my mother, the Imp was among the lesser races that had less ability. Aside from their only ability, which is energy drain, their frail body and weak strength made them less important.
Nevertheless, their fertility rate was among the best of all races, making them only important for their quantity."
Myles nodded. He asked, "Are there any Imp that can rival you?"
Nyxara was about to open her mouth and deny it, but she was staring at the Imp herself who made her a slave.
She sighed and said, "The Imp's evolution is restricted in the first place. Their demonic core potential was only at Rank 1 Lesser Demon Rank."
Myles frowned and asked, "Why is that?"
Nyxara contemplated for a while and replied, "A demonic core is a crystallized organ embedded below inside our navel. It determines the rank ceiling, skill authority, and evolution speed. Perhaps, it is simply because the imp race did not belong to any noble race."
Myles pondered for a while and recalled his status from the voice.
He said, "Because they lacked the ancient bloodline?"
Nyxara's eyes widened. She nodded frantically. "Exactly. Our Ancestor was once a Demon Queen, but due to circumstances, as time passed by, we have not birthed a demon queen since then and we are now just a vassal race from a different Demong King."
"What do you mean? Are there other Demon Kings?"
"Correct. In our world, there are seven continents and each continent is ruled by a king."
"In our continent, which race does the king belong to?"
"The Demon King belonged to a noble bloodline. It's such a strange noble bloodline—once they birth a child, they die and that child will become the future Demon King. Hence, their race is one of a kind. It's like they are born to be a Demon King."
Myles frowned and was confused.
He asked, "Why don't others take advantage of a child and kill it, so they can ascend the throne?"
Nyxara stared at Myles like he was an idiot.
She sighed and said, "You forgot, every demon race under the Demon King has become their slave. My mother is his slave. I am his slave. All the nobles became their slaves. Even if they die, the contract is strangely passed to their child. Also, don't underestimate their newborn, as soon as they arrived into the world, they already gave their commands, as though they already possessed the memories of their forefathers."
Myles nodded.
So, they're a singular lineage. Building my empire here from scratch will be so difficult even if I have the potential to become higher than them.
Myles' eyes widened.
She said that they seemed to be born to become a demon king. In other words, they possessed innate abilities due to their noble bloodline.
Myles recalled the Expand word beside his bloodline.
He said in his mind, "Show me my status and expand on the ancient bloodline."
Myles then saw the same hologram in front of him again, expanding on the ancient bloodline section.
When he read the contents, his eyes widened and his body trembled in excitement.
[Bloodline: Ancient Demon of Gluttony
Effects 1: If others know and utter your full name, it will have reversible effects. They will become affected. You can consume their core and gain their skills. Your demon core restriction from the race is lifted due to your bloodline. Your potential is limitless.
Effects 2: When you conquer a demon, you may digest their existential traits. For instance, a succubus trait is to instigate the lust of others with their charm; if you are able to charm them and conquer them entirely, you may digest their existential traits and acquire a fragment of their racial law. At the same time, your core will mutate to match their existential traits and your physical appearance will greatly be affected.]
Myles glanced at Nyxara and contemplated for a while. Do I have to order her to charm me and conquer my lust and have her descend into lustful desire? It's difficult for me to charm her, given my appearance.
Myles was determined to activate the second effects of the bloodline from a succubus to fix his appearance. There was no way he would retain his current repulsive, sickening face.
When Myles' eyes landed at Nyxara, the latter felt unsettled.
Myles' gaze reminded him of a noble demon who wanted to conquer her, but failed to do so because of her mother's status.
However, an imp in front of her could actually conquer her and gain her virginity.
She gritted her teeth and for the first time in her life, she felt helpless.
"Nyxara."
Nyxara immediately lifted her chin and gazed at Myles.
Myles walked towards her, landing at the bed, and moved his face closer to her.
Nyxara never felt disgusted until she gazed at an imp's face up close.
Myles grinned from ear to ear, having a clear idea of what she was thinking.
He said, "Charm me."
Nyxara was stunned. However, before she knew it, her racial traits acted up and it instantly released demonic energy and converted into a charm, directing at Myles.
Myles was instantly charmed, his libido was acting crazy.
He felt his shaft so fully erected it was throbbing to the point he felt the pain.
Myles' body trembled and bit his lips to stay sane from the charm.
At the same time, he raised his hands and grabbed Nyxara's boobs and fondled them roughly…
