Chapter 192 – The Love Potion
#192.
A dark basement. Compared to a year ago, when it was first built with a purpose, Gaon and the others entered the guild prison, which was now empty.
Arriving at the deepest point, Gaon sat the succubus on a wooden chair made by Chorin and released the point blood to bring him to his senses.
“Huh!”
As soon as the succubus opened its eyes, it tried to escape, but it was impossible to escape because this wooden chair had the function of trapping the whole body with tree roots, not just for sitting on.
The succubus, seeing that not only his limbs but also his waist and chest were tightly bound, looked at Gaon and asked.
“Who the hell are you? Why did you capture me?”
“That is what I want to ask. Who are you and why did you come to Union from Pandemonium?”
“… Do you think I will tell you!”
“Oh, I guess I can tell you. If you don’t tell me, I’ll send you to the church.”
“It’s great… ! You better kill me!”
A succubus screaming like a female knight captured by an orc.
Fortunately for her, Gaon already has three lovers, and she is a rational person, so she is not swayed by her sexual desire.
Gaon, who grabbed her chin and turned her head to the front, met her eyes and said clearly.
“You were originally destined to be captured by the Robes. We were the ones who saved it. If I had tried to kill him, I would have killed him right away.”
“… I am a succubus. Aren’t you trying to make me your sex slave?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t need it because I have girlfriends who are prettier than you. It’s still pretty tough.”
“Oops! That… !”
Even in a serious situation, as a succubus, her self-esteem was hurt by the fact that her sexual attraction was inferior to other women.
Gaon let go of her chin and backed away a bit, thinking that she was ready to talk once she was done with it.
“If you cooperate, we will help you live safely. Not entirely, but you have some freedom to roam outside.”
“… Really? Can I live freely in this world?”
“Yes, as long as you don’t have an accident.”
She would still have to carry her bodyguard and watcher, but the fact that she is not being chased like now is a disgrace to her.
The succubus lowered her head as if she was organizing her thoughts on her own, then met her eyes again and introduced herself.
“My name is Rubia. As you said, it’s a demon and a succubus. I come from a world called Iblania.”
“Iblania… Then Rubia, why did you come to Union?”
“… Because it’s too dangerous. Iblania is currently receiving hundreds of dimensional invaders every day. Even among those who gathered their will under the Demon God Kalidos, divisions are taking place. The queen, that is to say, the succubus queen is also showing a suspicious appearance. I was being chased by invaders and accidentally jumped into a rift that opened in front of me. Thanks to that, I was able to live.”
It was a bit confusing with so much information pouring in at once.
However, there were not many parts that were difficult to understand if you counted them one by one, so after a while, everything was sorted out and asked.
“Are you not able to handle the drinking?”
“Since the attacks are being carried out simultaneously in so many places, it is impossible to respond to all of them. In addition, it is also because the faith has weakened as the huge tentacles that appeared in the holy land dealt a great blow to the followers.”
Speaking of giant tentacles, the only thing that comes to mind is Dimension Eater.
From what I saw at the time, he looked like a monster who was only swayed by instinct without reason, but when I saw that he had a strategic hit, I worry that he might have underestimated it a little bit.
In any case, the important thing is that it is an imminent situation that does not know when the Pandemonium will collapse, and if it falls, Union will be next.
The best is to fight hand in hand with the Demon World in Union, but I know how absurd that idea is, so I just assume it as one move and exclude it.
If that’s the case, the best thing to do is to go over Gaon’s group and figure out the details of the situation and help them, but this is also difficult.
Aside from being dangerous, the problem is how to get to the Demon World. Wouldn’t it be impossible to ignorantly jump into the cracks connected to the demon realm? That’s just suicide
‘In the end, I have no choice but to do it like now.’
It’s all about raising the power to counter the dimensional invaders while conserving as much power as possible.
As for the Pandemonium, at least it was something that could be considered after all the leaders of the church had been sorted out.
Concluding, Gaon nodded his head and gave Chorin a chin gesture to let Luvia go free.
“Ruvia, as you may not know, there are no gods in the Union. You can only use divine power in the healing church.”
“… You use divine power when there is no god? How is that possible?”
“I don’t know that either. The important thing is that the Healing Church has established itself as the only existing religion, and of course information about demons will be blocked as best we can. Do you know what this means?”
“… If the fact that you are a demon is known, you will die for questioning and answering. I’m on the lucky side. At least he didn’t try to kill me right away.”
Rubia should have the power she has accumulated in her own way, but the level was not that high. If her pursuers hadn’t hesitated to launch the cannon, she might have died before she even encountered Gaon.
Gaon patted Rubia on the shoulder, who seemed to be clearly aware of her situation.
“So from now on, you have to hide your identity. First of all, what should I do with her hair?”
Rubia’s bright pink hair is so eye-catching.
If we leave it as it is, the first prince’s pursuit team will follow. You need to dye it with magic.
Fortunately, in the case of magic dyeing, it was universal enough for any woman who could afford it to use it, so there was no possibility that she would be suspicious.
However, Rubia seems to have taken it differently and backed away, raising her long hair to cover her lower body.
“All right, is there any other way? I hate being bald!”
“… I’m just going to dye it. Don’t worry, you won’t go bald.”
“Oh, is that so? Sorry.”
“No. It’s okay.”
Baldness is an absolute curse that cannot be solved by modern medicine or even magic. It wasn’t something she was ashamed of to be afraid of.
Gaon also regressed twice, but she was still afraid of her hair loss.
“Then let’s go out. We will guide you from where you live.”
“Yes, that… But what’s your name?”
“I am on vacation. Call me Gaon.”
“Yes, Gaon!”
After Gaon, Chorin and Hayeon gave her voice.
After introducing each other, they headed towards the residence carefully so that not even a single strand of hair could be seen.

Afternoon the next day.
Gaon, who was leaving the guild building after having her lunch for an appointment with Jaehee, accidentally bumped into Simyoung at the entrance.
“Ryu Shim-young, long time no see.”
“Ah, guild leader. See you in a week. Haha! I heard you came back yesterday.”
“Yes, fortunately things worked out.”
“Okay. Haha…”
The awkwardness of his smile shows that he has something he wants to ask. Gaon asked directly.
“Do you have any questions?”
“Yes? Oh, that’s… I heard that you brought a woman with you yesterday. Are you a new guild member?”
“You mean Rubia. I am not a guild member.”
“Ah… , Isn’t it? Then maybe… ?”
Just looking at her, she has the expression of a newly flirted woman.
She sighed spontaneously, wondering if there was anything but that in this human head, but considering the fact that she had been a eunuch just a year ago, it seemed natural.
Gaon looked around and confirmed that it was lunch time, so people were away and it was quiet.
“It’s not like that, it’s a demon I found by accident. It is called a succubus, but you must have heard of it at least once, right?”
“Sir, a succubus? You mean that demon who steals men’s spirits?”
“Yes, that’s right. He was being chased by people. Decided to protect. Simyeong, please look at it often. It’s hard to fully trust her yet.”
“Oh, that’s right! Just leave it to me!”
Shim-yeong, who was a bit reluctant to the fact that she was a demon, readily agreed to her annoying request, as if it didn’t matter if she was a woman or whatever her race was.
It was understandable how desperate she must be, since she hadn’t spent a decent amount of time with a woman after a year of regaining her sexual function.
As for Rubia, except for the fact that she is a succubus, so is her personality, and she was a decent woman, so she is willing to congratulate her if she goes well with Shim-young.
Gaon encouraged Simyeong inside and left the guild and rode her gate to the capital.
Arriving at the Mage Tower, waiting for her reaction, Ga-on told Jae-hee about her visit through the counter staff, and then went upstairs in her magic elevator.
‘They said it was the 45th floor.’
As befits a magic tower with over 100 floors, the laboratory where Jaehee was located was also quite high. Even after riding the high-speed elevator, she was able to get off after a long time.
Jae-hee, a disciple just before the butopjutsu, was also assigned a top-notch facility for her lab. Stopping in front of the largest and most luxurious door on the 45th floor, Gaon immediately rang her bell.
Ding-dong-
When the clear and elegant ringtone met this quiet, drug-scented space, it turned into a truly insipid sound.
Soon, Jaehee’s face appeared on the screen installed above the bell.
What was so urgent, her face showed a little nervousness.
-Ah, Mr. Gaon. Wait a minute. Please wait a minute!
It was Jaehee who said that, but she was immediately interrupted by another voice.
– Heh heh, it’s Jaehee. I just want to ask you to come in.
It might be that he is not young, but his powerful voice contained years of experience.
However, unlike the tone that seems relaxed and tolerant, the inside is full of displeasure toward something.
Jae-hee must be familiar with that, so she immediately rejects her opinion.
– Master! Can’t we just go? Why are you like that today?
– Uh hmm! I’m just curious because Jaehee is someone you know. Are you unable to meet your acquaintances as a teacher?
– Don’t lie! What other plans do you have?
-Even if you say no? Rather, are you going to just leave it outside like this?
– Ugh… Really!
She glared at her screen as if she was mean to her, but stared straight at her screen and behaved obscenely at her, making her face reddened as if she was embarrassed.
– Mr. Gaon, I’m sorry. Let it come in
Push-
At the same time, the door to the lab opened automatically.
It’s like seeing the cutting-edge automatic doors you see in sci-fi movies. I had seen it before in my previous life, but it was strange all over again.
“Then excuse me.”
-Yes, you can come to the room on the right.
At the end of that conversation, the screen went black.
Gaon felt her palms get damp at the thought of facing Lee Inkel Heinrich, one of the top leaders of the Mage Tower.
In the case of the Mage Tower, it was thoroughly meritocracy. It’s not at a level where bloodlines or connections don’t have an effect at all, but if there is a difference in skill, it’s thoroughly excluded.
In such a place, Jae-hee’s teacher, who came from a commoner and rose to the position of a sub-tap master, is not difficult to deal with.
He is a wizard who has reached the level of 10 stars like the current owner of the Gray Mage Tower, and if he hadn’t been pushed out of his lineage and connections, there would have been a high probability that the owner of that position would have been Lee Incell.
I had to be more nervous than when I met Louisiana.
Thud- thud-
The inside of the lab was clean. Various magic tools and parchments with magic circles on them were well organized, filling the pure white space.
You can infer a person’s personality by looking at the room, and it tells you that Jaehee is quite meticulous.
After passing through the central room and turning right, I saw two people sitting on a sofa.
“Gaon, welcome. Welcome.”
“I hurried back yesterday, just in case, but your complexion looks good. Fortunately, the.”
“Ahaha… Thank you for your concern.”
After exchanging greetings with Jaehee, I turn around and see an elderly gentleman with a long beard sitting on the sofa.
On the outside, he had the appearance of a freshman, but his sharp eyes showed a strict aspect.
“Hmm… My name is Reinkel Heinrich. The deputy owner of the Gray Magic Tower and Jaehee’s teacher. Please take good care of me.”
At the same time, the force of mana spewing from his body poured down, aiming for only one Gaon.
Commonly called mana pressure, it was possible for a high-ranking wizard to harm an opponent without even using magic or touching it.
A feeling of pressure, as if someone was clamping down on my heart, began to weigh down my entire body.
Of course, Gaon didn’t budge.
“Nice to meet you. It is called Hyuugaon.”
When he greeted him calmly, Reinkel’s eyes lit up.
