"So you read their memories?"
"No, not really, I don't have the powers to do that, no one does.
As I said, I just showed them what they 'feared' to see, nothing more.
Even I don't know what they 'saw', I was just guessing everything from their expressions."
Eisheth replied.
"You deciphered all of that just from their expressions?"
Nux raised his eyebrow in doubt.
"Oh? Are you doubting me?"
"I need to know, there are some things I do not wish to share with anyone else other than my wives."
"Now I am curious." Eisheth tilted her head with a playful smile on her face.
Nux, however, wasn't in the mood for any of these games now.
"You have the power to read memories, why would you be curious?"
He shot back.
Eisheth expression changed,
"Boy, I told you already, I cannot read your memories.
The ability we Succubuses have is called Illusion,
We have the power to 'Show', not 'See'.
As for what I said before, I did not lie.
I deciphered all of that just from their expressions.
I cannot see what they are seeing, however, I do see their expressions to it.
So while you were just standing here, I was looking into them, and analyzing what I saw, that is how I deciphered everything."
Eisheth explained.
"I still do not get it, your ability is too complex."
Nux frowned.
"Heh, of course, it is.
I am a Divine Stage Cultivator,
Everything about me is complex, boy."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing her explanation, Rislith narrowed her eyes.
This was new.
Why… why was her mother going as far as explaining herself?
She has never done something like this before.
So what if she did read their memories? Could they do anything about it? No they could not. They could only swallow their pride.
That is how it always happens.
Her mother never needed to explain herself.
It was the ones before her mother who had to explain themselves to her mother.
Her mother's action… Rislith couldn't understand them.
Actually, even the fact that she used her ability on his wives was strange…
Why was her mother getting so involved in all this?
Isn't it all just a formality?
Or maybe… that boy really does interest her?
He is absurdly talented yes, probably the most monstrous freak there is but… wasn't he still an Emperor?
Was her mother actually hoping that this man would get stronger?
Was she willing to wait for him?
Is she really this interested in him?
Rislith's mind was full of questions.
"Anyways, did you see it? How we succubuses can render our opponents completely useless with just a glance.
We are not exactly considered Strong, however, when it comes to group battles, we can be pretty annoying opponents to have.
So? How about it?
Do you want to try it?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Nux frowned in confusion.
"I am not talking to you, boy."
Eisheth ignored Nux and glanced at Allura,
"You, the one with white hair, yes you,
You are worried about your strength and sometimes feel left out, correct?
How about it?
Do you want to become a Succubus?"
"A S-Succubus…?"
Allura stuttered.
"Indeed."
"I c-can be a Succubus? Is that e-even possible?"
"Humans are the weakest Race in Yrniel. They do not excel in anything and have average talent. However, what they do have is adaptability.
The Human blood can adapt scarily quickly.
The Ancient Trials,
For races other than Humans, it is a way to purify their bloodline and get stronger,
But for the Humans, it is a way to change their Race itself.
Only Human Blood has the power to accept foreign blood and mutate,
If you pass the Ancient Trial, then through Ancient Magic, you can turn into a Succubus and receive unimaginable powers, your Mana Sensitivity would increase, you will inherit our Racial Ability, Illusion, and you would also be able to defend Nux and your sisters from mental attacks.
So? How about it?
Do you wish to enter the Trials?"
"…"
Allura glanced at Nux.
Honestly, she wanted to accept the offer. However, before that, she needed to ask Nux, it was a big decision after all and she wasn't going to take it without considering her husband's opinion.
However, before Nux could say anything,
Amaya stepped forward,
"Increased Mana sensitivity, inheriting your Race's ability, Illusion,
All of this seems too good to be true, there has to be a catch somewhere, no?"
"Heh, a catch huh."
Rislith chuckled.
Maline smiled as well.
Eisheth glanced at Amaya and then replied,
"Well, it is good that you are cautious, but don't worry,
There is no catch.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYou just got lucky."
"Lucky?"
Amaya frowned,
"You people befriended my daughter, after all."
Eisheth chuckled.
"Indeed, the Ancient Trial has limited slots.
It is an opportunity to change your and your upcoming Generations' density, from being a nobody to being the leader of a Clan so powerful that even the Leaders of the world would give you some face,
People die to get this opportunity, you know?
Even Semi Saints barely have the chance to get a Slot.
You only got it because of Aisha's request."
Rislith spoke with a confident smile on her face.
Amaya glanced at Aisha, Aisha smiled a little, Amaya smiled back and nodded at her.
Nux, on the other hand, frowned, he turned towards Rislith and questioned,
"If even Semi Saints barely get the chance to enter the Trials, then how is Allura going to compete? Won't all her opponents be Semi Saints or stronger?"
"Hmm? No, that is not how it works.
You do not have to fight anyone else inside the Trial.
The Trial tests everyone differently, based on their cultivation level."
Hearing those words, Nux sighed in relief.
"Heh."
Seeing his reaction, Rislith chuckled,
"What are you so relieved about?
Do not underestimate the Trial, boy."
She then glanced at Allura and spoke,
"Before sending her inside the Trial, we need to test her limits,"
"You do not need to do that."
Suddenly, Aisha spoke up.
"I have seen her strength already."
Aisha glanced at Allura and then, with a determined look on her face,
She spoke.
"She is not ready to face the trail yet.
We need to train her."
