Chapter 206 - The Last Succubus (2/2)

”And you understood all this during a single stay in the same mansion?” Nik inquired with narrowed eyes.

”In my world,” Ray smiled softly and looked at the duo, ”I am a known psychologist.”

The two frowned while Ray continued.

”Being a psychologist means to study the behavioral pattern of living beings and understanding their thought patterns, of course, I chose to summarise the meaning of my profession for you two.”

”You mean...” Nik looked at Brian before looking back at Ray.

”Are you a boy or a youth... or a man?”

”Well.” Ray shrugged and snapped her fingers and pink mist bloomed beside her, revealing the salacious youth with tiny clothes and plump butt.

”If you meant I am a virgin... then... well, I do rub it out, but my butthole isn't picked. It is my succu-clone that gathers partners for me.” With another snap, the revealing youth faded into the mist while Nik shook his head.

”I am asking for your age.”

”20.”

Ray gave out a number and Nik instantly frowned.

”Brian, how old are you?”

”23.” Brian looked at Nik and spoke a little hesitantly.

”Nik... what about you?”

”... 19.”

”Pfft!”

Ray immediately stifled a laugh while Brian smiled broadly.

”Aren't you a kind... boy.”

Nik just rolled his eyes and looked at Ray.

”So? Why were you here?”

”To join your newfound guild, of course.” At first, I did not know if your guild had any member, that is— the last rumoured Incubus— since you had already disabled the option to reveal your guildmates, but when I followed you here, I immediately found about Nik and boy, does he get laid!”

Ray shook his head and continued, ”Either way, I want in.”

Brian looked at Ray and finally pointed out.

”This isn't a club of the last surviving members... we are here for survival.”

”So, am I.” Ray spoke with a rare expression of sobriety and looked at Nik.

”And I also have a proposal for you. But it will have to wait until I am the official member of... pfft, Extinction.”

Brian's expression grew a bit bleak, yet, as the Guild Master of such an amazingly named guild, Brian kept his composure and stated softly.

”Ray... and Nik. Now that the three of us are finally face-to-face— something I didn't expect till we reached Rank 4 or higher— I must ask something.

How much do you know... I mean, how well were you allowed to inherit your heritages.

Before I begin, Ray,” Brian looked at the somber Succubus and nodded, ”While trust needs years, maybe decades to establish. I understand that I must let you in to establish a contact. It is my desperate wish that you, and Nik, do not misuse my trust. I pledge the same regarding your trust in me— if you have any, that is.

From now on, Ray, you are the second, and probably, the last member and the Vice-Guild Master of the Guild— Extinction, alongside Nik. Do you agree?”

A screen appeared in front of Ray and since Nik was a Vice-Guild Master himself, he could gaze at the contents of the screen, too.

Accepting the invite, the atmosphere loosened a bit and Brian nodded, ”Very well. Let me start the description of my own inheritance.

I was brought into the [Transmigration Paradise] unceremoniously the day after my 18th birthday and instantly, the ancestor of my lineage— Kaal Rakshasa. That man gave shared the essence of knowledge I needed to know, imparted me the knowledge to build my foundation and fused my blood with his own remaining essence to bring me at the Extreme-Tier of Bloodline evolution.

After that, I started collecting items and fought off many blood fiends after my life. The reason for collecting the items was simple enough.

My ancestor asked for it. As the feared Temporal Fiend, Kaal knows the threat we are to become. And... he fully intended to nurture such threats, us. So, he also requested that should I encounter a succubus or an incubus, I form a natural bond with them.”

Brian took a deep breath and concluded.

”So, in essence, you two do not need to divulge your innate skills or your past. But I still insist that we compare our foundations and assist each other. Agreed?”

Nik looked a bit thoughtful, comparing his own experience with what Brian stated. Although, Nik took Brian's words with a grain of salt, Nik understood the clear difference that while Brian was given a clear understanding to the situation, his ancestor... he just stated Nik's situation in a few words and even his lineage was only brought till Rare-Tier.

Meanwhile, Ray narrowed his eyes and frowned before looking at Nik's expression and then matching Brian's expression.

”Let me ask... did you meet the infernal guardian?” Brian nodded at Ray's words while Nik's expression turned grim, making Ray frown in return who inquired Brian once again.

”I will take the next turn.” Ray looked at Nik for a moment before continuing. ”Much like the guild master's experience, I was brought in front of my ancestor— Lady Mirage. Presented with a few foundational skills to increase my experience, inheritance of an Extreme-Tier Bloodline and finally, my short training with the infernal guardian.” With that, Ray turned his face towards Nik and spoke with a straight face.

”But something tells me... Nik neither met the internal guardian, neither did he get any foundational skills... getting an Extreme-Tier Bloodline seems even far-fetched for his situation.”

At Ray's words, a distressed sigh escaped his lips and he formed his question.

”You two... maybe did not experience death and got sent to another world to prove your qualifications to join the society... did you?”

Nik asked with his tone laced by thinly-veiled hope yet their strange expression seemed to deny Nik of his empty delusions.
