Chapter 69 69: Equal Chances!

"Really? Why did you have to be the one to bash poor Ezaeryll's head against that stone table? I'll see to it that he gets what's coming to him later for being so easily dominated... In any event, I can't let you go at this point and keep your life. My two closest friends here are very knowledgeable when it comes to fire magic, which is the Shirran's primary area of expertise."

The Shirran? The proprietor of the restaurant, Emilio, identified them as a member of one of the local gangs in the area. The two incubus started chanting an incantation to one another.

Alex mentally damned himself since he had just memorised a single fire counter type spell from the Grimoire, but because he had so little experience with magic, he was uncertain as to whether or not it would be successful.

"... The High Priestess," she replied.

Alex and the two incubi who had just finished casting their spell and were launching the fire in his direction were interrupted by the succubus who moved in between them.

In front of the fire, she stood there with the card in her hand. It started glowing and flopping around in her hand at the same time.

After that, all of a sudden, the flames whirled around and were somehow drawn into the card. The violet succubus totally obstructed the path of the magical fire as if it were nothing.

The two incubi were completely taken aback because it seemed as though they had no idea their power could be stopped in such an easy way.

Even the chief incubus started to twitch a little as he tried to seem unimpressed despite the fact that his behaviour did not come across as so to anyone else.

After that, the fourth incubus started reciting another incantation for the spell it was casting.

The three incubi, the head incubi, the two incubi that wielded fire, and the third incubi that was holding a torch all took a step back, as if they were fleeing from an explosive device and then going to watch it explode.

After that, another card was taken out of its hiding place by the succubus, and she clutched it in her hand. In the same way as before, it started to float and shine.

"... Strength." After that, the incubus let loose his magic and charged forward with a punch that was directed towards the succubus's chest.

She braced herself by extending her hand and blocking the hit as if it were nothing. It would appear that the spell the incubus had performed had bestowed upon him the ability to hit harder or improved muscles that allowed him to fight barehanded.

However, the succubus was significantly more powerful than the incubus in some mysterious way. The incubi who wielded fire gave each of them a mute, "What the fuck?" In response to what they did.

The head incubi was unable to maintain his expression of indifference any longer and consequently widened his eyes wide in response to the succubi's behaviour.

The Chariot..." Another card materialised in her palm, and just like the previous two, it emitted a glowing light.

The succubus then jolted out of hiding at a speed that was faster than Alex's eyes could adjust to, and she struck out the other four incubi henchmen while leaving the leader of the incubi alone.

The succubus was not as fast as a superhero, but she was fast enough that her adversaries had little time to respond, especially if they were not accustomed to battling against speed like hers.

The head incubus then made an attempt to flee; he made a hasty retreat along the street he had just come from in an effort to get away from the succubus.

It was pointless for him to put up a fight. While continuing to move at a rapid pace, the succubus reached out and grabbed hold of the incubus's neck, dragging him all the way back to the stone table.

She grabbed him and hurled him onto the chair she had been occupying earlier, then commanded him, "... Don't move."

The cries of the incubus sounded just like the sad, desperate cries for compassion that are always broadcast on television, "C'mon! Just give me the okay to leave... I'll stay away from you and him so that you can focus on your relationship. You must be kidding me if you think the Shirran are going to put up with this!"

Alex could have sworn he saw the succubus grow slightly crimson when the incubus said, "so you can enjoy each other."

However, the succubus only glanced at him with cold eyes and did not respond to the incubus's statement. As Alex watched the process, he didn't pay any attention to that at all.

He didn't feel like meddling because Kenadal was irritating enough on his own, but the fact that there were such pitiful duplicates of him in the Land of Lust made him even more irritable.

Following this, the succubus commanded that her captive "... Tell me your name."

"Huh? Oh, by the way, my name is Harrigan..."

"Do you desire to have an equal chances of dying or living a life of perfect freedom? Or to be left at the whim of the justice system? Which option to decide your life, do you desire?"

"Huh? What? What do you mean?"

"... All right, I'll make the selection for you."

"Wait! No... I'm going to stand up for what's right!"

"I will make a decision for you, and it will be the choice that you did not select. Because you value freedom more than compliance with the law, you will be allowed the same opportunity." Alex thought that her acts were similar to the immaturity of a child who would tease a friend with the promise of a toy and then take the toy away as soon as the friend had it in their possession.
