Broken Possessors of Infinite Regression Academy

Regardless of the nuance in Elysier’s words, it seemed that the only way to handle the current situation without killing Nika was indeed that method. Simply killing her would be easier and quicker, but it was also true that I felt uneasy about killing a succubus who hadn’t done anything wrong yet.

“Huff… sniff… slurp…”

I looked down at Nika, who was licking my fingers as if they were candy, trembling with pleasure. She was so enthusiastic about it that my fingers, and even the back of my hand, were covered in her sticky saliva.

“So, do you know how to make her awaken as a queen?”

“Of course. The quickest way is to awaken the succubus’s instincts through energy absorption, but you wouldn’t allow her to drain your energy, would you?”

“Not for now.”

“That’s good. Even if you had no objection, I would have persuaded you against it. So, the only method left is to take her to other succubi. There, she will resonate with her kind and naturally awaken her queen’s blood. It might take a bit longer, but it doesn’t require energy absorption.”

“Succubi, huh… Where can we meet them?”

“They are all imprisoned under suspicion of rebellion against the Demon King. The place is far and dangerous for you to go alone, so I will accompany you. Where should we meet?”

“It needs to be a place where we won’t attract attention.”

After some discussion, we decided on a meeting place, and I put the necklace back in my inner pocket. Nika, still overwhelmed with pleasure and licking my fingers, pitifully pleaded.

“Master… I’m so hot… Please, put it in… Please…”

“It might be uncomfortable, but bear with it a little longer.”

“Gah?!”

Ignoring her desperate pleas, I bound Nika with magic. The binding spell tightly constricted her arms, legs, shoulders, and her whole body. Though she initially struggled, she soon seemed to enjoy the sensation of being tightly bound, moaning and drooling with a blissful expression. Even though I hadn’t intended it, the sight was highly provocative.

After gagging her, I returned to where Beatrice was waiting. She widened her eyes at the sight of Nika.

“Young master, what happened…?”

“I couldn’t find a solution here. I need to go out for a bit, and I can’t move her otherwise. I’ll be back soon, so don’t worry.”

“…Understood. You don’t intend to take me with you, do you?”

“It’s too dangerous for you.”

Even with me there, it’s still the demon realm. I couldn’t take Beatrice to a place where anything could happen.

“I don’t want to see you get hurt or in danger. Can you understand that?”

“Of course. As your most cherished maid, how could I refuse the young master’s wishes?”

Beatrice, who nodded resolutely, insisted on driving the carriage herself instead of the coachman, emphasizing the need for secrecy. She took me to the designated location I had mentioned.

“When should I come to pick you up again?”

“In a day. If I don’t return by then, wait one more day. After that, don’t worry about it. No matter what happens, I will definitely be back within that time.”

“Yes, young master.”

As Beatrice departed, I was left alone in the forest with Nika, who was still tightly bound. I cleansed the pheromones she was emitting while waiting for Elysier. The forest was incredibly quiet, with only Nika’s pitiful and lewd moans breaking the silence.

“You seem even more remarkable now.”

“What do you mean?”

Responding without turning around, I answered the sudden voice. Elysier, who had appeared beside me at some point, sat gracefully next to me, her shoulder pressed against mine.

“Being able to maintain your composure without feeling any lust while having something like that beside you. An average man wouldn’t last a few seconds before giving in to his desires. Even with purification magic, I never thought a human could keep their sanity seeing a succubus in such a state.”

Well, it was indeed an incredibly lewd sight. The gag in her mouth was long soaked in saliva, her large breasts emphasized by her movements, and the tattoos on her chest and lower abdomen glowing pink.

I answered with silence, and Elysier didn’t press further. Instead, she opened a portal to the demon realm. Stepping through, we were greeted by a desolate land and a red sky.

“Nngh… huff…”

Nika, who had been whimpering and moaning lewdly, finally seemed to come to her senses upon seeing the demon king. She clung to me in shock, then tilted her head, realizing something was off.

I decided to explain after she awakened as a queen. With Nika, I followed Elysier. Ahead, a large castle came into view.

“There it is.”

“Weren’t they all imprisoned? I expected a prison, not a castle.”

“The first corps commander argued that it was unreasonable to treat the entire succubus race as rebels just because Astaroth was still missing. Everyone seemed to accept his typically rigid stance.”

The first corps commander was a Dullahan knight. He had invaded with thousands of legionaries but insisted on an ‘honorable’ one-on-one duel with the hero, ultimately losing and dying with satisfaction. It made sense that someone like him would make such a request.

“Thus, the lower-ranked ones are confined to a specific area, while the officer-level succubi are held in that castle. Those with insufficient strength or ability wouldn’t be of help anyway, so they were brought here.”

“To awaken her, I just need to leave her among the succubi inside, right?”

“Exactly. You needn’t worry about the succubi. Once the queen is subdued, the rest will naturally follow you. I would love to assist you personally, but I still have duties as the demon king. It wouldn’t do for others to discover this.”

Elysier gave a gallant smile.

“Once the task is done, contact me, and I will come to fetch you. Until then, nothing other than you will be able to leave that place. Finally, prioritize your safety above all. I don’t want you getting hurt like last time.”

“Understood. I’ll be careful.”

Elysier gave me a light hug and then departed after a few seconds. Once she disappeared, I led Nika into the castle. Nika still looked bewildered, not understanding what was happening.

“…Ugh.”

As soon as I opened the main gate, an overwhelming sweet and hot scent hit me. Even though the purification magic was clearly working, the smell was so thick and intense that it made me frown. The reason was immediately apparent. The central hall of the castle was a spectacle of flesh, accompanied by indecent sounds that were impossible to describe in words.

There were sounds of squelching, women’s moans, and desperate cries. It was a scene that seemed to embody the very concept of lewdness.

“…A male.”

The obscene noise didn’t last long. Someone appeared, and as soon as they confirmed it was a man, the sounds abruptly stopped.

“A man.”

“A human man…”

“What’s with the succubus beside him? Why does she smell so pure…”

“Does that matter right now? It’s a man, a man! And he looks incredibly delicious!”

Dozens of succubi, who had been either clinging to each other, entangled in groups, or satisfying themselves alone, began approaching with gleaming eyes. They started to fawn over me.

“Hey, do you need a woman? I’ll take good care of you. I promise.”

“You came here because one isn’t enough, right? Isn’t that it?”

“We can do much better than her. Want us to show you?”

“Is there a position you want? I’ll let you do whatever you want, just come with me, okay?”

They were so starved for essence that they didn’t even question the simple fact that a human man was in a place managed directly by the demon king. Ignoring the succubi desperately trying to seduce me, I released the magic binding Nika. As soon as she was free, she hid behind me, shrinking back.

Her actions showed no signs of being aroused as she had been before. As Elysier had said, the effect seemed to be taking hold.

“Wait a minute. That girl, I think I’ve seen her before…”

One succubus, who had been trying to catch my attention, stared intently at Nika. Nika shrank back even more.

“Oh! I remember. That’s Nika, isn’t it? The one who used to scavenge scraps.”

“Is that really her? I thought she was dead.”

“Astaroth called her, right? No one saw her after that.”

“Even if it’s her, why is she here? And with a human man?”

The fact that they called their queen Astaroth showed they had completely turned their backs on her. This might actually be an opportunity.

I lightly stomped my foot, imbuing it with mana. The blue wave that spread out made the succubi fall silent in surprise. Dozens of round eyes turned to me at once.

“It seems like everyone knows, so I’ll be quick. Let’s get to the point. Astaroth betrayed you and abandoned being queen. So, Nika, who inherited the queen’s bloodline, is about to awaken as the next succubus queen.”

“What? Master, what are you…?”

Not only Nika but also the succubi, who had been creeping toward me, opened their mouths wide in shock. It was understandable to be surprised that a succubus who had lived off scraps and never performed a single succubus act was the next queen.

“The reason the succession didn’t happen before was also because of Astaroth. When a candidate for queen like Nika appeared, she would prevent them from drawing essence and absorb that power herself. For a very long time. Now that Astaroth is gone, I brought Nika here to birth a new queen.”

The murmuring grew louder and louder. It was evident in their eyes that they couldn’t easily believe or disbelieve my words.

“How do you know about ‘succession,’ human male? That’s a secret passed down only among our kind, excluding the Demon King.”

A succubus, who seemed overall composed and was barely containing her simmering body, growled as she questioned. However, despite her facade, her gaze remained fixed on my lower half like the other succubi.

“How did you even get into this place, managed directly by the Demon King? Answer, or else we’ll consider you an enemy.”

“You noticed quite quickly. After all  of you tried to tempt me, you’re only realizing now?”

“…”

It was clear why they were threatening to treat me as an enemy. If I were considered an ally, it would be ambiguous, but if an enemy, they could legally subdue and torment me.

“My true identity is none of your concern. Whether you know it or not doesn’t matter to you. What matters now is that we must birth a new queen as soon as possible. Am I wrong?”

“Isn’t this some kind of trickery? If a queen were to be born, she would first charm you, wouldn’t she? Do you want to be a human pig?”

“You’re wasting your breath with pointless chatter. Delaying here will only harm you all…?”

A clacking sound of high heels interrupted me. Simultaneously, the succubi behind me turned to look, their faces frozen in white fear.

Clearly, no one was supposed to come. Their reaction of fear and who had arrived were both questionable. Curious, I turned my head.

“Oh, hello? Hello, everyone? Um, you’re already here?”

Standing right in front of the castle gate were shoulders with slightly wavy, chestnut brown short hair just touching the line, and attire that closely resembled a naked apron. Also, high black heels.

If that were all, one might not think much of it. The demons of this world, regardless of gender, had a culture where they flaunted strong powers with such scanty behavior.

“Um, eh? Eh? The guest has already come, right?”

However, what stunned the succubi was not just the owner of the high heel sound, nor the strange person’s stumbling manner.

It was something wriggling in her mouth. A reddish long thing sticking out he throat, standing tall and wriggling like a parasite.

“Kirke, is that you…? What on earth…?”

A succubus muttered in shock.

‘The Second Legion Commander? That thing?’

Even I was internally surprised. Why had the Second Legion Commander, who had recently gone missing, appeared here, and what was that appearance?

“Q-Queen. Must take, take, the queen, must take…?”

As she spoke, every time the tentacle-like thing protruded from her mouth, Kirke convulsed and brandished the staff in her hand. The corner of her mouth tore open right below her ear.

“Found you. Mira Crate.”

From the end of the staff, green mist exploded out.
